If you're pork-passionate, beef-bananas, and sausage-smitten, today's Groupon will melt your little animal protein-loving heart. For $25, you'll stuff your stomach with all the skewered meat you can eat at Chima Brazilian Steakhouse. The cost per person of the unlimited rodizio dinner is $39.50, so you'll have money left over for drinks and dessert to get your $50 value at Chima.
Inside Picanha Brazilian Grill, diners sit back as waiters slice endless amounts of freshly grilled meats at the table. The meat masters roast the tender tidbits over a charcoal grill, ensuring each cut retains its natural juice and flavor before slicing it tableside until visitors' carnivorous cravings have been sated. As waiters ration off beef sirloin, ribs, pork, chicken, and sausage, mouths water, crying at the thought of the meal's end. Each rodizio meal also includes selections from the hot food bar, such as fried bananas, rice, beans, and polenta, as well as verdant greens and fresh fruits from the salad bar. Although not included in today's meal, guest eaters can moisten palates with one of the Brazilian tropical fruit juices and smoothies or bring their favorite brew or grape juice to the BYOB establishment.
Fogo de Chão specializes in authentic Brazilian grilled meats. Established in 1970, Fogo strives to perfectly replicate the taste of the gauncho steaks and chops of Porto Alegre, Brazil. To this day, Fogo insists on only employing chefs that are masters of this flavorful South American grilling technique, keeping the legacy alive. Fogo offers a whopping 16 different cuts of meat, which are supplied in a constant stream to your plate. Want more of their succulent and tender lamp chops? Just grab the attention of the nearest server or "gucho," who'll promptly bring you what you want. Don't forget to make a visit (or a couple of visits) to their salad bar, which offers a vast selection of fresh vegetables, cured meats, and imported cheeses for the ultimate Brazilian dining experience.
In Vallé Cucina's kitchen, chefs form fresh jumbo lump crabmeat into thick patties, pan-sear them to a golden-brown hue, and drizzle their crispy crusts with beurre blanc. The eatery's crab cakes have been hailed by Delaware Today as the city's best for several years running. Vallé Cucina's classic Italian entrees are held to the same high standard: chefs hand-roll gnocchi and drizzle them with slow-simmered tomato sauce, and accent dry-aged steaks with elegant flourishes such as peppercorn brandy cream sauce and blue cheese. Servers recommend selections from Vallé Cucina's vast wine list to enhance steaks or Trevi Fountain reproductions.
Matt Crist, the new executive chef of Union City Grille, crafts lunches and signature dinners of handmade pastas, rich short-rib chili, and steaks seasoned with a house rub. An updated list of hand-selected wines and over 70 craft beers augment dishes that include hand-turned ricotta gnocchi and gourmet burgers. Guests can enjoy fare in the comfortable dining area, or in the eatery's cozy banquet room, accented with a modern fireplace. Sunday "choose your cut" fillet specials allow guests to feast on steaks discounted by the ounce, or pretend they are directing a film starring steaks.
Drawing on his culinary background working in East Coast bistros and stately hotel kitchens, Mile High Steak & Seafood's Executive Chef David Robinson crafts a rotating menu of upscale steakhouse cuisine. Robinson, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, refuses to cut corners with his ingredients, going so far as to fly in fresh seafood and grass skirts overnight from the Honolulu Fish Company. He only chooses aged certified Angus beef for his steak-centric entrees, and he revs up traditional sandwiches and appetizers on the bar menu with high-end items such as shaved prime rib, artisan cheeses, and lobster. These gourmet bites pair palatably one of the bar's signature cocktails or glasses of wine.
Even in his down time, Robinson keeps his culinary skills sharp, coordinating charity events for the Chester County SPCA and the Brandywine Hospital Strawberry Festival. But even with his busy schedule and impressive resumé, he's still thankful for landing his "dream job" at Mile High Steak & Seafood.

Beautiful flowers, lush greenery, a bubbling fountain. This may sound like a stroll through a botanical garden, but it's really a quick trip through the expanding garden centers now found at many supermarkets and supercenters across the country. Today's purveyors of plants and petals are striving to provide options for novices and green thumbs alike. Some garden centers offer educational materials for consumers to take home and others rely on their employees to do the educating, but all ...

Hands dig into the springtime earth, heaving up tufts of Missouri dirt cooled by the nearby waters of historic Jowler Creek. The year is 2004 and Colleen and Jason Gerke are trying their hands at winemaking, planting 250 norton grapevines in the ground near their home. Today, the 7-acre plot of land houses more than 3,000 vines, protected by insect-consuming chickens, rodent-hunting hawks and owls, and weed-noshing sheep who graze at carefully managed intervals. The sustainable vineyard sprouts grapes used to concoct nine award-winning wines?from dry to sweet?which are crafted with solar-powered devices. Jowler Creek Vineyard and Winery regularly hosts tours for up to 30 people, where patrons spend approximately 90 minutes observing the crash-diet techniques grapes undergo before squeezing into Jowler Creek's trademark baby blue sealed bottles.
A stroll through La Rouge Spalon & Boutique is a promenade back in time. In the waiting room, a cherry-red leather sofa and black shelves inspire modernity; in another room, the proprietors channel the 1950s with striped walls and checkered floors. In a separate makeup room, six round palettes of foundation and eye shadow rise up from a table like the drum set of a 1980s hair band from the stage. This diverse variety of styles characterizes La Rouge Spalon, which embraces the changing times with sleek cuts and bold color highlights tailored to client preference. Healing wraps and infrared sauna sessions help detoxify the body while promoting relaxation and weight loss. Clients may also solicit La Rouge for a chip-resistant Shellac manicure, or nix unwanted hair from upper lips with a private waxing session.
When it comes to losing weight, the team at The Body Wrap Spalon knows there's no substitute for diet and exercise, but they augment weight-loss efforts with a menu of advanced body wraps. The signature Slim wrap uses a blend of minerals and heat to draw out excess water and toxins, and the Men's Gut Buster shrinks belt sizes by targeting the midsection.
But body wraps are just one of the ways the team gets clients looking and feeling their best. They also deep-clean pores during facials and evaporate tension from the shoulders, neck, and back during custom massages.
At each of its 12 locations in Kansas, the staff of Genesis Health Club strive to create a one-stop health-and-fitness center for the entire family. Supervised childcare programs entertain kids with arts and crafts, and Muay Thai classes help youngsters improve coordination and strength under the tutelage of a fifth-degree black belt. Adults can head over to yoga, Pilates, cycling, or MMA cardio classes, which are all led by nationally certified instructors. Guests can also take advantage of the rows of cardio and strength-training machines, or work one-on-one with an instructor to learn correct form and the best way to walk on your hands on a moving treadmill.
A community presence in Kansas City since 1860, the Greater Kansas City YMCA forwards its mission of physical and social enrichment for men, women, and kids of all ages and backgrounds at its 18 locations. Each bustling outpost proffers members an embarrassment of fitness and entertainment riches, with everything from youth camps and after-school programs to group exercise classes, such as cycling, core training, and Pilates. Clubs and social organizations help members meet like-minded friends, and family activities strengthen bonds critically weakened by overzealous games of Monopoly.
The treatment menu at Sun Spa enables clients to select their preferred method of tanning from a roster that includes six levels of UV tanning beds and the UV-free VersaSpa system. Inside each of the five locations, Sun Spa's bronzing booths remain available 24 hours a day, presenting patrons with the opportunity to work around unorthodox schedules or warm up after bone-chilling nightmares. A selection of lotions by Australian Gold augments the effects of light-powered tanning excursions, and a storefront display of swimwear and handmade jewelry complement newly golden glows.

A Treatise on Beauty
By LADY CHEEKY
I think it's the perceived imperfections in people that make them interesting and therefore ... to me ... more beautiful. If this photo were generated by a traditional adult industrial complex the blemishes on her legs, the folds and texture of her skin, the bra strap indentations, would all be airbrushed out. But, leaving her photo like this, shows us the inherent sensuality in the human body. The authenticity of this un-retouched form illuminates the natural sexuality in a vulnerable moment captured for the sake of capturing it. Certainly, beauty is subjective. I see beauty in a lot of traditionally "beautiful" images as well ... but to me, this is a deeper, more satisfying beauty. Thank goodness for people who post photos like this. They are the quiet revolutionaries that fight with generosity instead of aggression or pomposity. They are the lanterns of authenticity gently beckoning all of our collective ships to find a safe harbor within our own appreciation.

Perl Audio Converter Extends Choice of Formats
Version 4.0.0 of the Perl Audio Converter (PAC) has just been released; the program can now handle a wider variety of file types.
Besides popular audio formats such as WAV, MP3, OGG Vorbis and FLAC, the converter previously supported Realaudio, BONK and many other formats. In addition to this PAC can extract the sound data from video files (MPEG, M4V, ASF, Quicktime and others). Now the program has support for Speex, a free speech codec, and many other formats such as SD2 and IRCAM.
At the same time, the developers have fixed various bugs, and volunteer translators have added languages support for Spanish, Polish and Chinese. The source code for the program has been released under the GPLv3; and various package formats are available from the project homepage, along with extensions that integrate the command line tool as a utility for GUI-based applications such as Konqueror and Amarok.

Beautician Shahnaz Husain offers tips and answers queries. Send your queries to firstname.lastname@example.com
My face looks normal, but two hours later my nose becomes very oily. What should I do? — Hosanna
After washing the face, apply astringent lotion on the oily areas of the face, using cotton wool. You can also mix multani mitti with rose water into a paste and apply on the oily areas daily to reduce oiliness. Apply compact powder on the face before going out. Use wet tissues to wipe and reduce oiliness during the day.
I have oily and rough hair and I suffer severe hair fall. What should I do? — Hema
You may be having hair loss due to an oily scalp. Apply a non-oily herbal hair tonic on the scalp daily, using cotton wool and leave on. Avoid massage. Part the hair in sections and apply on the scalp. Once a week, heat olive oil and apply on the hair. Avoid massage. Leave overnight. Next morning, apply the juice of a lemon on the scalp and wash the hair after 20 minutes. Diet is very important. Have a small bowl of sprouts daily and include fresh fruits, salads, leafy green vegetables, soya bean, curd, in your diet. Ask your doctor to prescribe vitamin and mineral supplements.
Does a facial scrub improve skin tone only for a short period or is it permanent? — Nazia
The skin gets tanned when it is exposed to the sun. A scrub helps reduce the tan by removing the dead skin cells and their contained pigment (colouring matter). The use of scrubs should be done regularly to brighten the skin. If the skin is oily, use a scrub two or three times a week. For normal to dry skin, use it once a week.
I get too many pimples. I am told not to apply anything on them, as it might affect my skin. Suggest a remedy. — Pragya
Pimples should be treated in good time, as they can develop into an acne condition and leave scars. You should take care of pimple-prone skin with appropriate methods. Wash your face twice a day, morning and night with a medicated soap or face wash for oily skin. Then wipe with an astringent lotion, using cotton wool. Mix a little rose water with sandalwood paste and apply on the face daily. Wash off after 15 minutes. Mix cinnamon powder with a little lemon juice and a few drops of honey into a sticky paste. Apply it only on the pimples daily and leave it on for one or two hours. Mix multani mitti with rose water and lemon juice into a paste and apply it on the face two or three times a week. Wash it off after it dries. Avoid creams and moisturisers. Use only oil-free products. Drink plenty of water. Add the juice of a lemon to a glass of water and drink it first thing in the morning.

Dear Senator/Representative:
Early last week, the major banking trade associations sent to you a letter expressing their "united opposition" to legislation pending in the House meant to modernize credit union law, and give credit unions more flexibility in providing outstanding consumer service to their members.
I urge you to reject the entreaties of the American Bankers Association, America's Community Bankers, and the Independent Community Bankers of America as merely obstructionist tactics designed to hobble or hold back credit unions from fulfilling their role of serving their members.
As the article appearing on the front page of Tuesday's (March 7, 2006) Wall Street Journal pointed out, this is only the latest effort by the banking industry to "keep credit unions in check." Led by extremists, most recently such as ABA Chairman Harris Simmons, the bankers have been working against credit unions for more than 70 years. Through that entire time, credit unions have persevered, and American consumers are clearly better for it.
The irony of the bankers' joint letter opposing congressional support for CURIA is that it maintains that the legislation would place "tax-paying financial institutions at a greater competitive disadvantage." This specious claim is made the day after banks have announced their most profitable year ever (with $134.2 billion in profits). On top of that, the so-called "community banks" themselves have identified other community banks as their greatest competitive threat.
Beyond these ironies are the half-truths of their claims about CURIA and its impact on credit unions.
No taxpayer funds were used. By the end of the decade - when the savings and loan industry imploded, its insurance fund folded, and the banks' fund needed to be recapitalized, the credit union fund remained fully capitalized - never asking for nor receiving dollars from the taxpayers' pockets.
I hope you will take these points into consideration when reading the latest banker missive, or any others developed and delivered to you at the direction of the reactionary banker leadership.
Credit unions merely want to serve their consumer members as effectively as possible; CURIA gives them the tools for doing just that.
Sincerely,Juri Valdov Chairman, Credit Union National Association President and CEO, Northwest FCU Herndon, VA

Let's not forget that unique Ontario institution of patronage and cronyism, the Brewers Retail.
Basically it is a foreign owned private corporation given a retail monopoly on beer in Ontario. (State owned LCBO sells beer as well but only in smaller units of 6-packs or less)...
For people not from Ontario, think of the Pemex motor fuel monopoly in Mexico if it was owned by Carlos Slim but with an even lesser retail experience.
As you can imagine, all the negatives of a private monopoly are present... Poor locations, lack of locations, terrible retailing hours of operation, inflated pricing, ugly stores, middling selection, etc.
The question that should be asked in an election year is, why is Ontario blessed with such a unique institution? The fact that it has even existed for many years and without any serious political threat shows that either Ontarians like their liquor retailing laws very strict and do not mind the monopoly or that their is some serious political capital and patronage being expended here...
Do not mistake the strictness of Ontario's beer retailing laws... Even those lands where beer flows freely such as Utah and Sweden have more permissive retailing laws. At least they allow beer to be sold at regular retail locations if it is under a certain percentage alcohol.
From the outside looking in, the Brewers Retail and the beer retailing system in Ontario looks like it was set up by Tony Soprano.

text: The need for access to basic health care is great in Chesapeake and Hampton Roads. Chesapeake Care is a non-profit organization committed to helping adults who are not eligible for Medicaid, Medicare or private health insurance. Last year alone we scheduled more than 19,000 appointments for patients. Established in 1992 Chesapeake Care Clinic operates through a combination of grants, state and local funding, and business and individual donations. Patients are charged a small fee each visit. Our network of medical, specialist, dental and administrative volunteers, along with our medical partners, help us stretch every donated dollar to over $9.32. Last year our operating budget of $1,102,997 provided $10.2 million in healthcare services for almost 2,292 patients. Even though we are one of the largest medical clinics in the region who serve our patients by charging a minimal administrative fee, we need to keep growing because of increasing demand. We need your help. Please donate or volunteer. |

The smARTkids program is CREATE's after school art program for at-risk youth. In 1 – 1.5 hour classes, we offer an in-depth arts program aimed at students determined to be at risk and selected by the school based on their academic needs and their interest in participating in an after school arts club. These classes are offered once a week for up to three semesters, and take place at the school itself. At the end of each semester, each group holds an art show to celebrate their accomplishments and hard work with their families, teachers and friends.
The smARTkids program aims to increase self-esteem, academic performance and social skills of upper elementary and middle school students who have been determined to be at risk. It enriches the students' afterschool experience, contributes to developing focus and concentration, and has been successful in improving the children's attitude towards self, school, and learning by giving them a sense of accomplishment and pride through the completion of art projects, and being a valued member of a group.
smARTkids began in one school with just 8 students in 2005. Now in its ninth year, smARTkids has expanded to four schools and 150 students.

When a photo shoot is called 'En Robe Et Noir,' which translates directly to "Dress and Black," it becomes clear that the Angela Lindvall by Tesh for Elle France December 2011 editorial shoot is going to be chock full of cool little black dresses.
Whether supermodel Angela Lindvall is wearing edgy, downtown-inspired leather mini-dresses with cutout sleeves or pairing basic black frocks over red plaid leggings for a punk rock look, or even topping an LBD with a denim jacket, the retro feel in the Angela Lindvall by Tesh for Elle France December 2011 photo shoot is undeniable.
33-year-old Lindvall looks great in retro looks from the decades of her youth, so it's no wonder that she looks so comfortable in such a wide variety of ensembles.

Why no comment on the number of human species?

Re: Why no comment on the number of human species?
Is that species or cultures, though? Humans and Halkans resemble each other, but we don't know if these are two separate species or just two populations of humans. Humans and Platonians resemble each other to an equal measure, but there are key differences that might make them two distinct species. Humans and TOS Klingons look alike, too, but are definitely two separate species. And Zephram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri is explicitly human.
So, are Dopterians and Kobheerians two distinct species, or do some Kobheerians just live on a world called Dopteria (and some others on Talaria)?

Fresh ideas on nature and community.tagged: Pelton Round Butte hydro project

At Pelton Round Butte dams: $100 million later, a steelhead returns
Sometimes the return of one adult salmon or steelhead is more exciting than runs of hundreds or thousands. That's the situation this year in Central Oregon's Deschutes River Basin.

Developer- and Publisher-specific Articles: Dungeons
Dungeons – The Dark Lord gets free Halloween-themed DLC
Realmforge and Kalypso are celebrating Halloween the right way with free DLC for Dungeons – The Dark Lord. Starting today, Halloween-themed graphics will liter the dungeons while two new prestige gimmicks, a new Jack-o'-lantern spell, and an entirely new Halloween map will be added once the update is downloaded. Gamers wanting gold instead of candy loot can disable the themed goodies from the main menu.
Dungeons – The Dark Lord available for PC, prepare the iron maiden!
The standalone expansion to Dungeons, Dungeons – The Dark Lord, is now available for PC. The Dark Lord will once again allow players to create dangerous dungeons filled with sweet loot to lure in brave heroes, and then trap them for their delicious souls.
Dungeons – The Dark Lord gets itself a new batch of screenshots
Dungeons' stand-alone expansion, The Dark Lord, is quickly nearing its September 27 release date, and to get everyone's inner hero-crushing demons ready, Kalypso has sent along some new screens. The shots offer a peak at the stand-alone expansion's new dungeons, including the ice crystal cave and Yeti boss, new single-player campaign, and new multiplayer-only skills.
Dungeons sequel announced, Dungeons – The Dark Lord
The Dark Lord's appetite for the souls of the virtuous could not be satiated with mere map packs and trifling DLC. No, he demands more, much more: a sequel. This September, he will get his chance to feast once more when Kalypso publishes Realmforge's Dungeons – The Dark Lord. Sequel to Dungeons, The Dark Lord will include a new single-player campaign, a new dungeon type, 25 "prestige gimmicks," four-player multiplayer with three modes, new skill sets for multiplayer, and the chance to play as bosses in multiplayer.
Dungeons gets second DLC pack – new mode, maps, and more
Kalypso and Realmforge Studios' Dungeons received a new, beefy DLC pack today. For $2.99, hero hunters get 50 new maps, five wallpapers, and the new Conquest mode. Conquest pits your aged, malevolent Dungeon Lord against some youngbloods who are foolish enough to challenge the Supreme Evil One.

Is It Time To Split Linux Distros In Two?
I reject your premise, and substitute my own. (282 comments)
Windows Server and Windows Desktop don't use the same OS? What definition of Operating System are you using here?
They have the same system libraries. They have the same kernel, albeit optimized and configured differently. They support the same APIs, run the same applications, use the same drivers, support the authentication engine, support the same UIs and shells, and use the same package delivery systems. There are differences, but I've yet to see any technical reason why you couldn't turn a Server edition into a Desktop release or vice versa.
As a counterpoint, the Ford Mondeo (4-door/5-door midsized vehicle) uses the same platform as a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. They have the same frame, many of the same components, and otherwise take advantage of factory line construction and economies of scale. However, in this case, you could at least argue that they have different 'Operating Systems' -- they have some differences which are arguably just optimizations and tuning changes (handling characteristics, consoles, etc.) but others that are physical differences (Seats, load/capacity, etc.). You don't see Ford running out to split the Platform, though. Why? Because it doesn't make sense. There are more things in common at the core than are different, and they can make more products at a lower cost by sharing the core of the car platform. Ford has a dozen or so active car platforms, used by different models across their various brands; most other car makers do similarly.
The author is making one of several possible basic errors.
1) They don't really understand the definition of a Linux distribution (e.g. RHEL v CentOS v TurnKey v XUbuntu v Arch v etc.)
2) They don't really understand the differences between Windows Server and Windows Desktop
3) They don't really understand the definitions of the Linux kernel, GNU/Linux, and the Linux OS
4) They don't really have a grasp of how software is made or how source code is shared
5) They weren't loved enough as a child and are desperately seeking attention.
This is like saying we need to create different compilers for AMD and Intel chips, as they have different architectures. It lacks understanding of the problem and understanding of how to address a solution.

Actually in many cultures today this would not only be accepted but expected! It seems like just one more thing we've lost in our fast paced western society. In light of things here I would make sure that any young female has her man or a suitable escort around to prevent ideas from springing into peoples heads though.
When my son was in his mid teens we were living aboard and cruising our sailboat. We met a lot of retired couples who would often take him under their wing and loved the fact they could pass on a little of their knowledge to him. My son also learned a great deal about relating to people outside of his age bracket and that has served him well in life. In that world/culture it was considered a good thing. When I first started out as a wooden boat shipwright I had two old timers who became good friends and mentors and I learned a great deal from them and still value what I gained there. While sailing around some of my very best friends were 30 to 40 years older than me and my wife, so what? What we need is a whole lot more of this stuff! People just starting out in life can often benefit from some of the experiences of those who've seen more territory in life.

Two years after the devastating events of The Reichenbach Fall, Dr John Watson has got on with his life.
New horizons and romance beckon in the shape of the beautiful and smart Mary Morstan. But Sherlock Holmes is about to rise from the grave. And even though it's what his best friend wanted more than anything, for John Watson it might well be a case of 'be careful what you wish for!'
In three brand new adventures, Sherlock and John face baffling mystery beneath the streets of London - a wedding that's not quite what it seems and the arrival of the repellent and terrifying blackmailer Charles Augustus Magnussen.
Who is the mysterious disappearing man? How can a Royal Guardsman bleed to death in a locked room? And what is the secret that threatens to blow apart everything the reunited friends hold dear?
Sherlock is back, but will things ever be the same again?

Red Fig tomato
More Information:
- Slow Food USA
- Map of Growers
- Find Growers by State:
These 1.5 inch pear-shaped tomatoes have been grown in American gardens since the 18th century. They were traditionally dried and packed away for winter use in substitute of figs. They are also used fresh. The Red Fig Tomato is named for a sugary delicacy that was made with this fruit and popular in the mid 1800s. The tomato is currently available from only three seed companies in the United States. Fresh Red Figs have a full tomato taste with very sweet skin. In addition to being a delicious plated solo act, they're perfect for contemporary tomato jams and chutney

White Sox still searching for long winning spell
MINNEAPOLIS — Just seven days removed from the July 31 trade deadline, the White Sox fortunes this season hang in uncertain territory.
The Sox haven't put together a winning streak of longer than four games all season, but left-hander Chris Sale said Friday he will not yet rule out the possibility of the team making a big run to inch back into playoff contention.
"We're talking eight, 10 games (behind the Tigers)," said Sale, who takes the mound Saturday against the Twins. "You're talking about potentially one good month, a month and a half and we're back in it."
Sox manager Robin Ventura said he thinks starting pitching is the key, and a solid outing like Hector Noesi pitched Thursday gives him more hope that the Sox have an extended winning streak in them.
"You can sense that when you get outings like Noesi had yesterday, then you throw in (John Danks, Sale and Jose Quintana), and you have a chance to do that," Ventura said. "Any time you have a staff like that you're going to be in some games. We are a little short in the bullpen, but anything is possible."
So what if the Sox just so happened to put together a run in the next week? Ventura said he doesn't know how that will affect what's coming ahead on the trade front.
"The concern is today," he said. "That concern comes up the 30th or 31st. Is it different if you go on a run? I don't know. We'll find out. I don't have those conversations with other GMs. Rick (Hahn) does."
Ready for ninth: Sox reliever Jake Petricka said he feels "honored" to be handed most of the closer duties while Zach Putnam is on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation.
Petricka earned his fourth straight save Thursday against the Twins in front of family and friends in his home state. He has a 1.23 ERA over his last 13 outings entering Friday.
"I just treat it as any other inning," Petricka said. "If you change what it is, you're going to change everything about you."
Coop update: Ventura spoke with pitching coach Don Cooper on Friday and said he is feeling a little better but is uncertain when he will be able to travel. Cooper missed his sixth straight game while dealing with the effects of vertigo.
"It definitely stinks," Sale said. "You miss his personality. He's in here a lot. He talks to people every day. He probably wants us to stay with business as usual, so we still do the same things. We're still working hard."

What is long-term care insurance?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "Long-term care insurance."
Long-term care insurance might be considered similar to flood insurance, or earthquake insurance -- one of those policies you buy and hope you never have to use. But if you find yourself needing it, you're going to be glad you have it. Long-term care insurance covers your treatment in a nursing home or extended care facility -- which could be very expensive and is typically not covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare. The insurance isn't cheap either, costing thousands of dollars per year. Concerned about how you'd afford it if you became the worst kind of sick? You'd want to buy long-term care insurance.
To get a quote on long-term care insurance, visit the insurance section at Bankrate.com.

text: What? We're describing Shoutaro Morikubo here? [[Manga/{{Naruto}} How troublesome.]]Although he is best known as the voice of snarky teen genius Shikamaru Nara from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Shoutarou Morikubo is also the voice actor to find if you want {{Jerkass}} characters. Yes, jerkasses. But at least those with a hidden [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]]. Outside of voice acting, he is a singer and has released a few albums. [[{{Bishonen}} His looks]] have also won him a large number of female fans. Once, he was married to YuuAsakawa. However, Shoutarou "{{Jerkass}}" Morikubo and Yuu Asakawa turned out to be incompatible, and the latter announced that the marriage had to end in 2009, and it did. As of 2014, he has announced another marriage... but to a non-showbiz-related lady. Seeing that the trend of seiyuus marrying with those not in the business tends to be safe, so far, hopefully Morikubo can keep himself up this time.Has [[RelationshipVoiceActor relationships in voice acting]] with Creator/NobutoshiCanna and Creator/TakahiroSakurai.----!!Notable Roles by Shoutarou Morikubo:* Akaya Kirihara in ''Manga/PrinceOfTennis''* Akira Otoishi in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle'' * Bartolomeo in ''Manga/OnePiece''* Chiharu Aoki in ''[[TokimekiMemorial Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side]]''* Ginji Amano in ''Manga/GetBackers'' (who is ''not'' a {{Jerkass}}.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king's order came into effect. This was the very day that the enemies of the Jews had planned to overpower them, but the tables were now turned: the Jews overpowered those who hated them! | 1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them. |
2 The Jews had gathered in the cities throughout King Xerxes' provinces to lay hands on those who were seeking their ruin. Not one man was able to stand up against them - fear made cowards of them all. | 2 The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those seeking their destruction. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them. |
3 What's more, all the government officials, satraps, governors - everyone who worked for the king - actually helped the Jews because of Mordecai; they were afraid of him. | 3 And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king's administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them. |
4 Mordecai by now was a power in the palace. As Mordecai became more and more powerful, his reputation had grown in all the provinces. | 4 Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful. |
5 So the Jews finished off all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering them right and left, and did as they pleased to those who hated them. | 5 The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did what they pleased to those who hated them. |
6 In the palace complex of Susa the Jews massacred five hundred men. | 6 In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. |
7 They also killed the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the archenemy of the Jews: Parshandatha Dalphon | 7 They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, |
8 oratha Adalia Aridatha | 8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, |
9 Parmashta Arisai Aridai Vaizatha | 9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha, |
10 But they took no plunder. | 10 the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not lay their hands on the plunder. |
11 That day, when it was all over, the number of those killed in the palace complex was given to the king. | 11 The number of those slain in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king that same day. |
12 The king told Queen Esther, "In the palace complex alone here in Susa the Jews have killed five hundred men, plus Haman's ten sons. Think of the killing that must have been done in the rest of the provinces! What else do you want? Name it and it's yours. Your wish is my command." | 12 The king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman in the citadel of Susa. What have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? It will also be granted." |
13 "If it please the king," Queen Esther responded, "give the Jews of Susa permission to extend the terms of the order another day. And have the bodies of Haman's ten sons hanged in public display on the gallows." | 13 "If it pleases the king," Esther answered, "give the Jews in Susa permission to carry out this day's edict tomorrow also, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows." |
14 The king commanded it: The order was extended; the bodies of Haman's ten sons were publicly hanged. | 14 So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman. |
15 The Jews in Susa went at it again. On the fourteenth day of Adar they killed another three hundred men in Susa. But again they took no plunder. | 15 The Jews in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they put to death in Susa three hundred men, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder. |
16 Meanwhile in the rest of the king's provinces, the Jews had organized and defended themselves, freeing themselves from oppression. On the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, they killed 75,000 of those who hated them but did not take any plunder. | 16 Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were in the king's provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand of them but did not lay their hands on the plunder. |
17 The next day, the fourteenth, they took it easy and celebrated with much food and laughter. | 17 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy. |
18 But in Susa, since the Jews had banded together on both the thirteenth and fourteenth days, they made the fifteenth their holiday for laughing and feasting. | 18 The Jews in Susa, however, had assembled on the thirteenth and fourteenth, and then on the fifteenth they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy. |
19 (This accounts for why Jews living out in the country in the rural villages remember the fourteenth day of Adar for celebration, their day for parties and the exchange of gifts.) | 19 That is why rural Jews--those living in villages--observe the fourteenth of the month of Adar as a day of joy and feasting, a day for giving presents to each other. |
20 Mordecai wrote all this down and sent copies to all the Jews in all King Xerxes' provinces, regardless of distance, | 20 Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces of King Xerxes, near and far, |
21 calling for an annual celebration on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar | 21 to have them celebrate annually the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar |
22 as the occasion when Jews got relief from their enemies, the month in which their sorrow turned to joy, mourning somersaulted into a holiday for parties and fun and laughter, the sending and receiving of presents and of giving gifts to the poor. | 22 as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor. |
23 And they did it. What started then became a tradition, continuing the practice of what Mordecai had written to them. | 23 So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them. |
24 Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the archenemy of all Jews, had schemed to destroy all Jews. He had cast the pur (the lot) to throw them into a panic and destroy them. | 24 For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the "pur" (that is, the lot) for their ruin and destruction. |
25 But when Queen Esther intervened with the king, he gave written orders that the evil scheme that Haman had worked out should boomerang back on his own head. He and his sons were hanged on the gallows. | 25 But when the plot came to the king's attention, he issued written orders that the evil scheme Haman had devised against the Jews should come back onto his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. |
26 That's why these days are called "Purim," from the word pur or "lot." | 26 (Therefore these days were called Purim, from the word "pur".) Because of everything written in this letter and because of what they had seen and what had happened to them, |
27 the Jews agreed to continue. It became a tradition for them, their children, and all future converts to remember these two days every year on the specified dates set down in the letter. | 27 the Jews took it upon themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should without fail observe these two days every year, in the way prescribed and at the time appointed. |
28 These days are to be remembered and kept by every single generation, every last family, every province and city. These days of Purim must never be neglected among the Jews; the memory of them must never die out among their descendants. | 28 These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never cease to be celebrated by the Jews, nor should the memory of them die out among their descendants. |
29 Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, backed Mordecai the Jew, using her full queenly authority in this second Purim letter | 29 So Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim. |
30 to endorse and ratify what he wrote. Calming and reassuring letters went out to all the Jews throughout the 127 provinces of Xerxes' kingdom | 30 And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Xerxes--words of goodwill and assurance-- |
31 to fix these days of Purim their assigned place on the calendar, dates set by Mordecai the Jew - what they had agreed to for themselves and their descendants regarding their fasting and mourning. | 31 to establish these days of Purim at their designated times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had decreed for them, and as they had established for themselves and their descendants in regard to their times of fasting and lamentation. |
32 Esther's word confirmed the tradition of Purim and was written in the book. | 32 Esther's decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, and it was written down in the records. |
