Marcella Polini and Victor Hazan were married in February 1955, a union that sparked an extraordinary culinary career-and dynasty. Son Giuliano came on the scene while the couple was living in America and learned to cook alongside his mother. The three ultimately conducted a transcontinental lifestyle, anchored in both the United States and Italy, conducting weeklong classes in their Venice apartment that drew students from across the world.
The Hazans moved to Longboat Key permanently in the late 1990s. Giuliano settled in Sarasota as well. Altogether, the trio has published close to a dozen books about food and wine. Although Marcella and Victor no longer teach on a regular basis, Giuliano inaugurated a cooking school outside of Verona, Italy, at the Villa Giona, where with Italian wine expert Marilisa Allegrini, he and wife Lael conduct a weeklong cooking school several times a year.
With such Italian culinary expertise at our doorstep, we decided to ask the Hazans about the essence of real Italian cooking-and to choose three classic dishes that best exemplify it (recipes below).
It was a Sunday morning in Marcella and Victor's condominium. The view of the water at the kitchen window was stunning, prompting Marcella to comment, "This is why we moved here."
Let's start with the key question. What is the essence of the Italian table?
Marcella: There are a few things-fresh ingredients, simplicity.
Victor: The essence is emotional and cultural. The Italian table is the place that's the central activity of an Italian day. In Italy when strangers happen to meet and talk to each other, say, in a train compartment or in a line for something, the most likely subject of conversation is food. So the Italian table forms a fundamental part of Italian life. It isn't the restaurant, it isn't the chef, it is the cooking of the family, and it has the purpose of keeping the family together.
Marcella: They have a word in Italy for the table where you eat. They call it desco. It means sacred.
Giuliano: I have two small children, a two-year-old and a six-year-old, and so there's two ways to go about our table. On the one hand, it would be nice to spend more time at the table with my wife, relaxed; and on the other hand, I don't want to miss out a portion of the children growing up with us. We want the children to eat with us. So we give them a snack to hold them over until dinner, which is very Italian.
Marcella: That is how the children learn what tastes good. Here there are many children who don't want to eat vegetables. But if they start when they're very small the Italian way of eating, it's not only one dish but a sequence of dishes, each with a different taste and value.
Giuliano: In Italy, when you do go out to restaurants, you never see a children's menu. A children's menu is just smaller portions of the same things.
Marcella: If you go to a restaurant in Italy and you like the food, you say, "It's just like home food." We don't expect the food to impress us. I don't want food that you want to have a camera because it looks so good, I want that it tastes good. That's very important.
Giuliano: It's comforting to eat what your mother and your grandmother made. It's not necessary to make something different all the time.
Victor: In this country during the past decade or so, the media has created this phenomenon of the star chef who represents the ultimate level to which cooking can be performed or perfected. That intimidates everyday cooks, everyday people. People think, "I can't cook at that level. So I must get something at Morton's or Publix and bring it home. Or if I really have to cook at home, I'll make a sandwich or a salad because I'm not a chef." In Italy, cooking is about the family. Traditionally in Italy we don't even have chefs, they are just cooks.
Giuliano: In Italian, the word chef means chief, which means the manager of the restaurant.
Victor: (Laughing) That's what you were once, Giuliano, so now you have graduated to a cook.
Giuliano: Italy is not just one country, but made up of very distinct regions. It is a collection of cuisines. What might be a dish in Apulia isn't even heard of in the Veneto. Tuscans don't know how to cook Venetian dishes. It's like if you're here, you go to Tampa and they don't know how to cook your food.
Victor: If you are in Venice, it's likely to be a dish with seafood. If you are in Tuscany, the essential dish would be a soup. If you're in Naples, it would have to be some type of pasta with a very light tomato sauce. Not anything heavy or garlicky like they make in this country, but very light. In the Riviera, it would be a dish with a lot of herbs. Pesto is an example of that, dishes that are fragrant, that smell of an herb garden. And in Bologna, it would be pasta made by hand-egg pasta rather than flour pasta.
You might be the most famous culinary family in the world.
Marcella: Now we have the grandchildren. Gabriella started to make pasta when she was four. Another generation.
Giuliano: She loves the white truffle, too!
Have you thought about the influence of the three of you on how Americans view Italian cuisine?
Victor: If anything, I think about how little influence we've had. What people understand to be Italian cooking is not what we understand to be Italian cooking.
Marcella: Garlic is so misused here. Everyone says if you smell garlic, you smell Italian food-which is not true.
Victor: Or serving big bowls of pasta with the meat course.
Marcella: That is more German.
Giuliano: Or enormous portions. It's enough for two or three people.
Victor: I do think Marcella was very influential in kicking this whole thing off back in 1973, when she published her first book. At that time no one was paying attention to Italian food as we understand it.
How did this impression of huge portions and lots of garlic and heavy sauces come to represent Italian food?
Marcella: I have an idea. Most Italian cooking here was coming from immigrants, and most of them were coming from the southern part of Italy, which was and is the poorer part. When they arrived here, it was "mangia, mangia"-eat, eat. They think the large portion was representative of this new abundance. When you make pasta, the pasta is the less expensive and the sauce is more expensive, especially if it has meat. So they put a lot of sauce on top. The sauce is not really the seasoning for the pasta. I keep saying you are eating pasta with the sauce, not the sauce with the pasta. They invented dishes that you don't have in Italy, like manicotti. You can travel all over Italy and never find manicotti.
Giuliano: This was the creation of a new cuisine, the Italian-American cuisine. And the large portions and abundance endure because it's really an American concept. It's what Americans expect. If they don't get it, it's not value for their money. And now people expect to take food home. In Italy, the concept of taking food home from a restaurant is unknown.
Marcella: In Italy they say to me, "They take food home from the restaurant?" They're very surprised about that. Also, I hate when they bring me a plate done. How do they know if I like string beans? That's another part of essential Italian food-serve yourself!
Giuliano: In my new book, How to Cook Italian, I gave recipes that are not necessarily classic recipes that are cooked in Italy, but are things I cook here with ingredients I have here. It comes out Italian because it has the qualities of an Italian dish: simple ingredients, not over-spiced, and genuine flavors.
Marcella: Not too many ingredients. Some of these recipes you see have 21 ingredients!
Giuliano: I think of flavor, taste, memories that I grew up enjoying and continue to cook for myself, the rituals my parents have been talking about. Have respect for food. Someone put themselves into making the food. Take the time to experience what someone has cooked for you.
We asked the Hazans to choose three recipes that capture the essence of Italian cuisine. "Simplicity is it," declared Marcella. "That, and very, very fresh ingredients. That's all you need, really." The recipes they gave us-for rapini, pasta with tomato sauce and roasted chicken with lemon-are only fresh, simple and simply delicious; they're an unassuming backdrop for great conversation and conviviality with family and friends. And that's what Italian cooking-and this Italian family-are all about.
Giuliano's Rapini Sautéed with Olive Oil and Garlic
This classic Italian recipe for rapini (sometimes also known as broccoli rabe) can also be made with broccoli or broccolini. When using broccoli you'll need to pare away the tough outer part of the stalk. Broccolini only needs to have the stem bottom trimmed. This recipe serves six as a side dish.
1 bunch rapini, about 1 pound
1 medium garlic clove
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Fill a pot with at least 4 quarts of water, place over high heat and bring to a boil. Trim the bottom of the rapini stalks and wash in cold water. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water and put in the rapini. Cook until the stems are tender, usually no more than 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
Put the olive oil and garlic in a 12-inch skillet and place over medium-high heat. When the garlic begins to sizzle, add the rapini. Season with salt and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until the rapini are fully flavored with the olive oil and garlic. Serve at once.
Marcella's Pasta with Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter
2 pounds fresh, ripe tomatoes, or 2 cups of canned imported Italian plum tomatoes, cut up, with their juice
5 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half
1 to 1 1/2 pounds pasta
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the table
Marcella recommends potato gnocchi (homemade, if possible) but says the sauce is also delicious with factory-made pasta in such shapes as spaghetti, penne or rigatoni.
To prepare, put either the prepared fresh tomatoes or the canned in a saucepan, add the butter, onion and salt and cook uncovered at a very slow but steady simmer for 45 minutes or until the fat floats free from the tomato. Stir from time to time, mashing any large piece of tomato in the pan with the back of a wooden spoon. Taste and correct for salt. Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta.
Note: may be frozen when done. Discard the onion before freezing.
Marcella's Roast Chicken with Lemons
One whole chicken, 3-4 pounds
2 small lemons
black pepper, ground fresh from the pepper mill
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash the chicken in cold water, inside and out. Remove all the bits of hanging fat. Let the bird sit for 10 minutes on a tilted plate to let all the water drain out. Pat dry. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper on the bird and rub some into the inside cavity.
Wash the lemons, dry and roll on the countertop to soften. Puncture the lemons at least 20 times in different places, using a sturdy round toothpick, a trussing needle or something similar. Place both lemons in the chicken cavity. Close up the opening and truss closed with needle and string or toothpicks. Don't make it airtight, but reasonably closed. Run kitchen string between the legs, tying at the knuckle of the leg. Leave the legs in their natural position.
Place the chicken into a roasting pan, breast side down. Place it in the upper third of the preheated oven. After 30 minutes, turn the chicken over so the breast side is face up. Try not to puncture the skin. If kept intact, the chicken will swell like a balloon, which makes for an arresting presentation at the table. (If it doesn't swell, it doesn't affect the taste.)
Cook for another 30 to 35 minutes, then turn the oven up to 400 degrees and cook for an additional 20 minutes. There is no need to turn the chicken again. Bring it to the table whole and leave the lemons inside until it is carved and open. The juices will be delicious; spoon them over the slices of chicken (but don't squeeze the lemons).

System Benchmarks
PCMARK 8 is the latest version in the series of PC benchmarking tools by Futuremark. It is fully compatible with Windows 8, and can be run under Windows 7.
Just like in the previous tests that we did with these two CPU's, we found the results to be very close to those tests. You can see in the PCMark 8 tests, both the i7 4771, and E3-1285v3, are very close in performance, with the i7 4771 getting slightly better results. These two CPU's are very close in specifications, with only 100MHz difference in stock and turbo speeds.
Sandra 2013 SP6 is the latest version in the series of PC benchmarking tools by SiSoftware. Sandra 2013 SP6 tests the performance of your PC by running a whole series of tests including CPU, Memory, Storage, and Graphics benchmarks, to come up with a final number as a rating of the systems performance.
Again, we see only a slight difference between the two CPU's. As usual, running these tests multiple times will net slightly different scores, so these CPU's are about equal in this test.
PassMark Performance Test runs 32 different tests including CPU, 2D & 3D graphics, disk, and memory tests, to come up with an overall system ranking that allows you to determine how fast your computer is in comparison with other systems.
Here, we see only a slight difference between these two CPU's, which is something that will be common in the rest of the tests that follow.
DPC Latency Checker analyzes the computer system's ability to handle real-time data streams. It is useful in finding the causes of interruptions in real-time audio and video streams (otherwise known as dropouts).
Note: DPC Latency Checker does not show the correct results in Windows 8 or Server 2012 systems, because of how the implementations of kernel timers function in these operating systems. We ran each test for five minutes, and recorded the max latency over this period. Results from 0-1000 are good, while results higher than 1000 show that the system might have a problem.
Even though there is a little less than a 100 point difference here for DPS results, this is very close, and well under the 1000 millisecond threshold.
We did find that we had slightly better DPC results on this motherboard over some of the others we tested using the Intel 4771 CPU. They are nothing to write home about though.
The SPECwpc V1.0 workstation benchmark provides over 30 different workloads divided into application categories, and generates a score for each one.
This is a new test that we will be using on all platforms from now on. We ran the X10SLV as a light duty workstation, so it can be compared other motherboards. Not all of the tests are able to run on the X10SLV, because it only has an integrated graphics chip.
This platform actually holds up pretty well as a media workstation. The system handles media type jobs pretty well considering it is only using integrated graphics; as a home based system, it does a good job.

Seattle DOT botched snow response
When winter storms rolled over Seattle in December, bringing snow and freezing temperatures to the city, the manager in control of the city's snowplows had no experience directing a major snow response and had put in place as his No. 2 an employee who knew even less on the subject.
Seattle Times consumer-affairs reporter
When winter storms rolled over Seattle in December, bringing snow and freezing temperatures to the city, the manager in control of the city's snowplows had no experience directing a major snow response and had put in place as his No. 2 an employee who knew even less on the subject.
Together, Paul Jackson Jr. and Robert Clarke, a former crew chief, orchestrated a disjointed response to the winter weather that left major streets unplowed while Jackson, the man calling the shots, worried aloud about clearing certain streets so the mayor could drive to work, according to interviews with plow drivers and street crews and thousands of department records analyzed by The Seattle Times.
"Mr. Jackson had no idea of what was going on," said Sione Kongaika, a plow driver who recently retired after 31 years with the Seattle Department of Transportation. Two or three days into the first major snowfall, "all he was doing is yelling, 'We have to get more plows downtown. The mayor can't get to the office.' "
West Seattle, home to the mayor and transportation chief Grace Crunican, received an inordinate amount of attention right before Christmas, records show. Ten employees spent a total of 76 hours over two days clearing sidewalks, landings and bus stops in West Seattle, with the largest crew dispatched to the Admiral district where Mayor Greg Nickels and Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis live.
No such emphasis was accorded other neighborhoods, although special attention was given to the private Lakeside School in Northeast Seattle, where a truck sprayed de-icer around the grounds, and a loop of streets in Laurelhurst that were plowed even though they're not among the city's list of priorities for snow cleaning, according to department records.
A series of storms, carrying anywhere from trace amounts to several inches of snow, rolled through Seattle over two weeks in December. Estimates of snowfall vary, but the heaviest snows fell from Dec. 17 to Dec. 26, paralyzing the city until warm weather arrived.
While the weather was undeniably cold and snowy, interviews and a review of about 2,000 records, including e-mails and detailed reports on how the city deployed equipment and crews, show that transportation managers Jackson and Clarke made questionable calls on staffing and deployment.
Transportation crews described confusion and delays in dispatching plows when the snow first began falling, making it harder to stay on top of the game. Meanwhile, the records show trucks hopscotching around the city, attending to special requests or remaining idle while the city announced it was plowing "aggressively" and clearing main routes that residents swore had yet to see a plow.
For example, a Magnolia resident e-mailed the city, reporting that Magnolia Boulevard West — a designated priority street — had not been plowed for at least four days as of Dec. 22.
The city rarely used all 27 of its plows at once, even after heavy snowfall, records show. On Christmas Day, for instance, 11 plows went unused even though they were ready to drive, according to an e-mail from Jackson. The morning of Dec. 24, the city said only 18 plows were deployed.
Transportation-department spokesman Richard Sheridan explained later that managers probably were "resting the equipment" or performing routine maintenance. He offered yet another explanation Tuesday, saying all plows were deployed that evening, even if the records provided to The Times didn't support that.
Decisions by Jackson and Clarke, the city's street-maintenance operations manager, have escaped public scrutiny despite two City Council hearings, a departmental review ordered by the mayor and calls for an independent investigation into the city's Department of Transportation.
The Seattle Times conducted its own review to provide a more complete explanation of why the city was paralyzed by snow and ice for two weeks, even on days when there was no new snowfall.
Jackson assumed his $108,600-a-year job in June, and Clarke was named to his $68,000-a-year job in August. Prior to joining the department as a paving-crew chief in 2007, Clarke worked as a senior water-pipe worker at Seattle Public Utilities, records show. In an interview, Jackson said that as far as he knows, Clarke had no experience managing a snow response.
Clarke did not return a voice message seeking comment, but Sheridan, the spokesman, touted Clarke's credentials, saying he supervised 22 people on a snow-clearing crew during the winter of 2007-2008 and had "extensive winter-storm-response" experience at the utility department.
Jackson, director of street maintenance, defended his performance in an interview. His previous assignment was as manager of street-surface repair. Jackson said the department always could do better, but he couldn't think of anything he would do differently.
Nickels gave the department a "B" grade for its performance. But he has since announced changes to the city's official snow-response plans, and approved the use of previously banned rock salt to thaw icy roads.
The disconnect
Even as residents complained that main streets were impassable, city leaders — including Nickels, Ceis, the deputy mayor and City Council President Richard Conlin — praised the department.
Ceis e-mailed Jackson and transportation chief Crunican on Dec. 25 to tell them that "SDOT has been magnificent throughout these storms," while Conlin praised the crews' "hard and effective" work.
But Nickels' statements to the public that main streets were drivable stretched credulity for some. In a Dec. 28 e-mail to her colleagues, Councilmember Jean Godden wrote: "While the mayor was on TV saying that 'most arterials are passable,' I looked out the window at Sand Point Way Northeast and laughed ironically."
Conlin and other council members adopted a more questioning tone as public complaints grew louder after Christmas. Council member Tom Rasmussen called for an independent investigation of the department, but support never materialized.
Instead, he was criticized by council member Sally Clark for publicly asking Crunican about the two days she was in Portland over Christmas.
"Tom was out of line putting you on the spot about whether you were in town the entire time," Clark wrote Crunican after the Jan. 6 hearing.
Rasmussen said he called for the investigation, in part, because of conflicting information given by department leaders and ground crews.
The dissonance, however, was not explored in the public hearings, nor was there a true accounting of what the storm cost the city and the community.
Seattle's emergency-management director Barb Graff told the council at a hearing last month that the city had spent at least $3.7 million on the storms. But the figure did not include all the costs involved in the city's sanding strategy or lost holiday-season sales-tax revenues due to impassable streets downtown.
At the Feb. 20 hearing, Councilmember Jan Drago asked if anyone was going to do a full accounting of costs. She was told that no one had asked for one. How, she wondered aloud, could the city know if it should buy more plow blades if it didn't know the cost of going without them? That question also went unanswered.
A new regime
In previous storms, plow drivers had discretion over how best to clear their assigned routes, said plow driver Chris Stuker. City drivers would traverse main routes in tandem, allowing main roads to be cleared and plows to clear feeder streets as they were able to, Stuker and three other drivers said.
But that system was replaced by top-down decision-making that resulted in trucks being pulled from major streets for special assignments and to help less-experienced drivers, most of them working in the south end of the city, according to two drivers who asked to remain anonymous out of a concern for their jobs.
"Nobody knew what was going on, and everyone was calling for help left and right," said Stuker, who has been with the department for 10 years. He said he knew things were breaking down when, around Christmas, he barely could make it home to Beacon Hill after a 12-hour shift because the roads hadn't been cleared.
Crunican said she developed an "insular" view of the storm because she was able to traverse city streets in her four-wheel-drive vehicle. Her spokesman and Graff, the city's top emergency official, blamed the plow drivers, saying they provided a rosier view of road conditions than existed on the ground.
"It's one thing to be in a plow truck and another to be in a Hyundai," Graff explained.
But records show the drivers repeatedly documented poor road conditions, noting icy ruts, compact snow and ice, and hills "too dangerous to travel," even on major thoroughfares that were supposed to be cleared for the health and safety of the public.
Notes on the poor conditions were logged in crew reports, and drivers said they also radioed in conditions to the transportation-command center when they were plowing.
"It was almost worse than the worst 4-by-4 off-roading I've ever done," one driver told The Times, describing efforts to clear downtown streets just before Christmas. "You had a 12,000-pound truck without a load bouncing around like a rubber ball. It was like you're being slapped upside the head both ways."
In an interview, Graff told The Times that she didn't know the drivers were reporting such conditions. But she said it was up to the transportation department to figure out why those reports never made it to emergency planners.

Cripit |
To View Photos of This Strain, Click the Photo or the Name Cripit (Crippled Pit) 2008 Strong, intense, smooth, sweet
Background Information: The leaves are very large and thick and wide with crystals down the fan leaves. They start bright green and turn a deep rich purple with a little chill. In the summer, she stays green all the way through.It's sweet without being cloying. Big crystal coated fan leaves make great bubble hash too. We crossed our Pit Bull on Crippled Rhino and got Crippit. This heavy indica has a sweet exotic flavor and giant leaves with big chunky buds. It is a traditional "umbrella" plant. Even a little chill will turn her purple. She is delicious fresh, but curing really brings out the exotic flavor of the Chocolate Thai in her background.Great party bud. This is actually one of my all-around favorites. Crossing the Crippled Rhino with Pit Bull allowed us to take her outside. Crippled Rhino is more suited as an indoor Chocolate Thai strain, but the Crippit does just fine outdoors. We put it in bloom at about 4 to 4 and a half feet tall and it comes out between 6-7 feet tall. The buds are big and seem loose, but really are quite dense. They are long and large with lovely purple tones, especially if she gets chilly.This variety throws two primary colas and many secondary colas that are not quite as big. As Featured on
the Cover of The Big Book of Buds Vol. 4 (2010) Medical Information: Cripit is great for nausea; we definitely recommend this one to use after chemo. It's a happy high so if you suffer from depression it is a good candidate to use. Cripit is not really a morning tea; it's more of a night time use but helps great as a pain reliever. Audience: End of Life Cachexia Chemotherapy Effects Appetite Cancer Circulation Glaucoma Severe Nausea Cystic Fibrosis PTSD Severe Pain Depression Head Pain Rx Co/Side-Effects HIV/AIDS Back Pain Addiction Inflammation MS Trauma Affects: Strong Effects Antiemetic/nausea Active Mind Appetite Extended Duration Euphoric Positive Sensual Social Sweet Taste Sexual Aroma Couch Lock |

The President, the Passengers, and the Patience of God
Sometimes we are so overwhelmed at being treated better than we deserve that we must exult in the all-sovereign God—the God of birds' flight and Obama's rise. When King David pondered how many were God's "wondrous deeds," he said, "I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told" (Psalm 40:5). That's the way I feel watching God's public mercies in the last few days...

new bug i'm afraid.. flying around
guys, i'm sooo enjoying inf. it owns!
but last night when i played the ut mod rocket arena, i noticed when that i'm flying around ( when i'm not playing ) now i have the same 'flying around' physics as in infiltration. only after i press the alt-fire button i get 'normal' flying around view & physics again. i don't think many of you have played rocket arena lately but if you have it installed, just join a server, play a game and when you're dead, just fly around and you'll know what i mean. greetz! |
21st Mar 2001, 01:23 PM | #2 |
I'm not sure exactly what you mean?
UT Rocket Arena and Infiltration are 2 completely seperate mods.  |
21st Mar 2001, 06:09 PM | #3 |
O_o hu?
I kinna understand what your talking about, but I think the UT cam and the INF cam are the same. is the RA cam diffrent, and I just not know??   |
23rd Mar 2001, 08:19 AM | #4 |
for example, when an UT RA game is starting but you're the only one one the server, you'll be 'waiting for other players' and in a 'free-cam' mode. This is also when starting a normal UT deatmatch game and when the level is loaded, and you don't press fire you're ably to fly around the level right?
Ok, so in INF when one is flying around the level after one got shot, it's like you're flying in 3rd person mode with only the player in front of you made invisible. The mousebutton functions as a toggle between live feed from otherplayers and free-cam. I'm pretty sure i've seen this last part mentioned somewhere else in this troubleshooting forum btw. Well, when i was playing RA and i got into the free-cam mode, it had the same 3rd person with invisible 1st person physics as Inf. I'm also pretty sure that this wasn't the case before. It's not a very annoying bug don't get me wrong pls, i'd just wanted to mention it. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Guinevere!
Facts about Guinevere
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Guinevere's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
1 year of age
Other Pets at Volunteer Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Guinevere, a Lancaster Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Lancaster, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Lancaster.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lancaster already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lancaster breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lancaster paves the way for another one to be saved.

Real Wealth
For thousands of years precious metals have been a safe haven during times of economic instability. Their value cannot be debased by governments who print paper money at will makingtheir currency's worth less each year. With the current state of the economy, the uncertainty of the stock, bond and real estate markets and the incredible erosion of the U.S. dollar, prudent investors will convert 40-50% of their paper assets into gold and silver for both profits and protection.

TopDawg (04/16/2013) [-] My freind and his boyfreind were shunned from his parents church when he came out of the closet infront all the people he considered family. Even by his own parents, he was kicked out of his house and he didn't know what to do. Back when I used to go to church, I talked to the preacher/pastor which ever it is, he said to send him over. Preacher guy ended up adopting my freind and proudly promoting homosexuality within the church.
<-- How I feel about his parents and that scumbag church.

Most Christian denominations are against it, being Catholic and going to a Jesuit school I have learned to be open to the equality of all peoples no matter what it says in the Bible. The other Christian sects take the Bible literally which is their greatest fault.

Herbs In The Home.......
Herbs are much more than good smelling green things to add to your soup-pot.
From the kitchen to the bath, herbs can fill many needs and add pleasure and health benefits to almost every aspect of daily life.
We all know that basil, dill, chives, oregano, sage, thyme, and a host of other culinary herbs can make the difference in good to delicious with a pot of just about anything .
But, do you know that herbs can also be just as useful and rewarding in the bath, the medicine cabinet, and even for your pet needs.
During the cold and damp days of winter nothing serves to relax and rejuvinate the bones and muscles like an herb infused bath.
One method is this:
In a large pot over high heat bring to boil about 1/2 gallon of water, add a large bunch of sage leaves, some thyme, and rosemary sprigs-boil for a good 5 minutes, reduce heat and let sit-covered-for 5 minutes. Strain into your bath water and simply be still and soak in the pleasures and the comfort of the natural benefits from the plants.
Another warming and comfort method is a small pot on the stove top with your favorite herb, a few orange peels, lemon, cinnamon sticks and clove buds...not only will your home smell good, you will be breathing in all the good from the bounty.
Try rubbing a clove of garlic over the bottom of your feet when you have the makings of a sinus problem or a bit of a cold....you can do this many times during the course of the day.....
Only good things come from herb usage, and the more we know, the better we can apply.
A subject worthy of study, is it not.

This past week, on the day of the annual March For Life, I wrote a post that raised a few questions about how The Washington Post team framed debate about the GOP retreat (surprise, surprise) on a bill that would have protected unborn children after the 20th week of a pregnancy, right on the front door of viability if born prematurely.
Yes, I just used that wording again, to help underline the obvious.
... You saw how I described that bill -- using the word "protect." It would even be possible to frame this issue by stating that the bill would have "expanded" legal "protection" for the unborn.
That is loaded language and I know that. It's the kind of language that, say, Pope Francis uses in speeches that draw minimal coverage. But that is the language used on one side of the abortion debate. ...
Now, what would the framing language sound like on the opposite side of this debate?
That post was noted and, for the most part applauded, by the online site for the National Right to Life News -- which wasn't so sure that words such as "protect" and "expanded" were, as I put it, "loaded."
Yes, that is loaded language, in mainstream media. Thus, let me note that my point was not that I wanted mainstream reporters to replace biased pro-abortion-rights language with language that favored those who oppose abortion and/or favor expanded restrictions on late-term abortions. No, I wanted journalists to stop and think about the language that they were using and to think strategically about how they could frame this issue in a way that was accurate, fair and balanced for believers on both sides of this hot-button issue.

So, after two months of waiting my package has finally arrived and I can't be more happy about it. Not only that I got a video game that I really wanted but it came with the included Artbook, a poster, the "making of" DVD and the Soundtrack DVD.

BILOXI, Mississippi — The outfield wall at Biloxi's MGM Stadium is being dropped two feet to save the city money.
It also increases the chances of a home run ball.
Dropping the height of the fence from 10 feet to eight feet means a $95,952 savings to the city
The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1BJVXfV ) the decision doesn't add any time to the construction schedule but lowers the contract price with W.G. Yates & Sons Construction to $29.4 million.
"It's basically a cost-saving measure," said Tim Bennett, co-owner of the Biloxi Shuckers minor-league baseball team, which will play in the stadium this year.
The reduced height could mean a few more balls will make it over the outfield wall, Bennett said.
Although the team isn't sure when the stadium will be ready for the first pitch, Bennett said an announcement could come in the next few weeks of a performance there July 4.
Construction is running ahead of schedule, he said, and the major work on the parking garage should be complete this week.
The first scheduled home game is April 20 with Jacksonville. Bennett said if the stadium isn't ready for play, the team will make other arrangements.
Pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in Mesa, Arizona, in late February and the rest of the team will report in March. Bennett said he will split his time between Arizona and Biloxi as he continues to oversee stadium construction.
The Huntsville (Alabama) Stars are relocating to Biloxi. The MGM Stadium is located across U.S. Highway 90 from the Beau Rivage Casino.
