Rome — "Where people are, the Word of God must be," a priest who had come here from Washington state for a conference on the Church in America told an Italian media outlet.
That was the simple explanation why one of the most learned and reserved holy men on the planet was putting his finger on Twitter.
When the pope, at the end of his weekly public audience at the Vatican, hit send on his first post on the social-media platform, two grandmotherly women from the Philippines were sitting near me. "Pope — Twitter!" they said, looking at me with radiant smiles. "Thanks be to God!" There was a language barrier, it turned out, so I couldn't press them about the significance of the event. But their gratitude suggested an appreciation for another catechetical opportunity, for the chance to reach more souls with the Good News. The pope was following the practical philosophy William F. Buckley Jr. expressed in another context: If there is a platform, it might just be the place for our ideas. It might just be the right additional venue for reaching new eyes and minds and hearts.
In the case of the papal tweet, a top priority is conversion. The work of evangelization is something Catholics talk about a lot these days, especially in terms of reconverting hearts, of renewing a true love of Christ — even, or especially, among those who already profess to be Catholic.
As it happened, the first papal tweet — the one the press was glued to — wasn't necessarily going to educate anyone or throw Saul off his horse as he was checking his iPhone. "Dear friends," the successor to Saint Peter tweeted, "I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart."
That was by design, Monsignor Tighe explains, "to highlight that this is about connectivity, reaching out to people, and expressing genuine gratitude."
Another papal tweet, released later that same day to much less fanfare, was a question and answer that focused on prayer. "How can faith in Jesus be lived in a world without hope?" @Pontifex inquired, and then answered: "We can be certain that a believer is never alone. God is the solid rock upon which we build our lives and his love is always faithful."
Answering a question on how to be "more prayerful when we are so busy with the demands of work, families and the world," one wise guy started trending with his response: "Relax u r pope," which is all part of the interconnectivity of the medium. The actual papal answer, by the way, was: "Offer everything you do to the Lord, ask his help in all the circumstances of daily life and remember that he is always beside you."

Coal Ash News and Media
Continue to check back for updates:
Asheville, N.C. – Today www.SoutheastCoalAsh.org and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) unveiled a new tool to help concerned citizens, activists, policymakers, and reporters better understand the potential hazards of toxic coal ash waste throughout our region.
The Create-Your-Own Coal Ash Report feature on our interactive website, www.SoutheastCoalAsh.org, analyzes detailed data from more than 450 coal ash storage ponds (impoundments) across the region to generate custom reports based on the coal plants, states, and/or utilities that users select. You can visit the report portal page to generate a custom report at http://www.CoalAshReport.org.
Our 9-state region is extremely vulnerable to pollution and catastrophic dam failures from coal ash impoundments because it is home to 40% of the nation's coal ash impoundments and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates a disproportionate number of those as posing serious threats to nearby communities and infrastructure. The report comes as EPA faces a court-ordered December 19 deadline to finalize rules for coal ash, which is currently less regulated than household garbage despite its toxic load of lead, arsenic, and hexavalent chromium.
"We are still waiting on federal rules to address this completely unregulated waste stream which continues to pose serious threats to our communities and waterways," says Ulla Reeves, High Risk Energy Program Director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. "Increasing public understanding, awareness, and access to information about coal ash issues in our backyards is one of the ways we will eventually clean up these dangerous dumpsites and prevent the next devastating coal ash spill."
These custom reports offer another way for the public to learn more and share information about dangerous coal ash impoundments that threaten water quality and public health. This information was made publicly available for the first time on the www.SoutheastCoalAsh.org website in December 2012 and both the website and this new report-generating tool are regularly updated with the latest impoundment-specific coal ash data.
In the days and weeks after the Dan River disaster, North Carolina legislators made bold promises to protect the public from dangerous and polluting coal ash sites. Since May there's been several stops and starts on coal ash legislation, and for a time it looked like the General Assembly would fail to pass any legislation.
Instead, the General Assembly passed a bill last night that falls far short of the protections North Carolinians desperately need. In the early days of this legislative session, we were hopeful that North Carolina lawmakers were going to put forth a strong bill to force Duke Energy to clean up all of its polluting sites.
Unfortunately, the bill they passed actually undermines current groundwater protection laws, fails to clean up 10 of North Carolina's dangerous and polluting coal ash impoundments and lets Duke off the hook for the harm their dumpsites are causing communities and waterways statewide. As a News & Observer recent Editorial aptly stated, Senate Bill 729 "proposes to solve the coal ash problem by declaring it not a problem. Or, at least not an urgent problem."
Last week the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) finally agreed to pay $27.8 million to more than 800 property owners who suffered damage from the massive 2008 Kingston coal ash spill. The spill is one the largest of it's kind in US history, and spread over one billion gallons of toxic coal ash over 300 acres of aquatic ecosystems, farmlands and neighborhoods. TVA previously purchased over 180 properties in the spill area for approximately $147 million, and while this is likely to be the last wave of settlements, the impacts of this disaster will continue to be felt for decades to come.
We applaud TVA for finally compensating those directly impacted by the spill, while recognizing that the surrounding community, rivers and environment will never be the same and that residents in Perry County, AL who received much of the Kingston ash waste have yet to be compensated for their pollution burdens from this disaster.
As long as our utilities continue burning coal without proper regulations and oversight for their coal ash dumpsites, communities nationwide remain at risk from devastating coal ash spills and pollution problems.

By Lynn Ringenberg, MD
A national epidemic has come to Florida. It is a silent threat, growing every day. Pollution contaminates our waters, poisons our fish and wildlife and increases our risk of cancer and other diseases.
The culprit is coal ash, and here in Florida we generate more than six million tons of this toxic waste every year, making our state seventh in the nation for coal ash generation. Even though it's full of dangerous contaminants, coal ash is even less regulated than our household garbage.
In February, a coal ash pond in North Carolina ruptured, sending 140,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River along the Virginia border. In 2008, a coal ash pond in Tennessee burst, sending more than one billion gallons of coal ash into the Clinch and Emory Rivers and damaging 40 nearby homes. While the coal ash problem in Florida isn't as obvious, it is still just as dangerous.
Coal ash is the waste left over when coal is burned for electricity. In 2007, power plants nationwide generated 140 million tons of this waste — enough to fill a line of train cars stretching from the North Pole to the South Pole. Many power plants simply dump their coal ash into unlined and unmonitored pits. There are no federal regulations ensuring safe disposal and handling of this waste, so coal ash can often contaminate nearby lakes, rivers, streams and drinking water aquifers with toxic pollutants. Across the country, coal ash has contaminated water at more than 200 sites.
Florida's most recent instance of contamination is along the Apalachicola River. On June 5, environmental groups sued Gulf Power Company for illegally discharging coal ash into the river at its Scholz Electric Generating Plant, a violation of the Clean Water Act. Water tests near the coal ash dumps found that arsenic levels coming out of the unlined pits were 300 times higher than federal safety standards. High levels of cadmium, chromium — well known carcinogens — as well as lead, selenium and mercury were also found.
With legislature's failure to pass strong coal ash bill, DENR and Duke must fulfill cleanup obligation
August 1, 2014 –In spite of 11th hour negotiations Thursday night, the North Carolina House and Senate failed to come to agreement on their weak, incomplete coal ash management bills, putting the impetus back on Duke Energy and the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources to remove coal ash from unlined pits near waterways.
The Senate proposed an inadequate bill back in June; the House significantly weakened that proposal; and ultimately, the conference committee found itself at a stalemate to address North Carolina's coal ash problem.
"This is a multi-layered failure of leadership. Both chambers failed to offer the comprehensive cleanup plan they promised at the outset of session," said Donna Lisenby, global coal campaign coordinator for Waterkeeper Alliance. "Then they failed to take any action at all. We hope that lawmakers' return in November will be a reboot of priorities. All North Carolina communities need protection from coal ash."
Aging, unlined coal ash lagoons are leaching arsenic, chromium, mercury, lead, cadmium, boron, and other pollutants into rivers, streams and groundwater at every single Duke Energy facility in this state. Under public pressure, Duke Energy has already publicly volunteered to move ash from the Dan River, Riverbend, Sutton and Asheville facilities into lined landfills away from waterways. In the absence of clear directives from the legislature, they must keep that promise.
Six months ago some of our worst fears became true (for a second time) when 140,000 tons of coal ash and contaminated wastewater spilled into the Dan River near Eden, North Carolina. As the spill continued for almost 2 weeks, a dark grey plume travelled 70 miles downstream threatening drinking water supplies and the river's long-term health. Unlike other pollutants that can break down in the environment over time, heavy metal-laden ash settles to the river bed and the toxics can reenter the water column, get stirred up during flooding, and be taken up into the food chain as long as ash remains.
Duke Energy said they would take full responsibility and clean up the spill, with CEO Lynn Good stating in April 2014, "We are now continuing to work at cleaning up the river, and we will stay there until that is resolved."
So far, Duke Energy has removed 6% of its ash from the Dan as required by EPA. While short-term clean up efforts have ceased, the job of remediating this spill is far from over.
Continued pressure is needed on EPA, Duke and the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) to ensure that every possible opportunity is taken to continue clean up efforts and protect Duke's neighbors, the public, and the environment at all of NC's coal ash dumpsites.
July 30, 2014
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. –According to the first Santee Cooper coal ash removal report released this week, Santee Cooper has removed over 42,000 tons from its unlined coal ash lagoons on the banks of the Waccamaw River in Conway, South Carolina. The removal is part of a settlement reached between Santee Cooper and citizen groups represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center — the Waccamaw Riverkeeper, the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League, and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
"Santee Cooper is carrying out its obligations and removing coal ash from Conway and the banks of the Waccamaw River in South Carolina," said Frank Holleman, senior attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center who represented the groups in the litigation. "The end result will be restored wetlands and a safer, cleaner Conway and Waccamaw. Duke Energy should follow Santee Cooper's example by cleaning up all of its coal ash in North and South Carolina —moving the coal ash to safer, dry, lined storage away from rivers and waterways."
This post originally appeared in the Apalachicola and Carrabelle Times on July 9, 2014. You can access the original piece here.
Early this year, the picturesque Dan River in North Carolina was hit by a devastating toxic spill that spread 70 miles downstream, poisoning the water and everything in it. Why am I telling you about an environmental disaster which happened hundreds of miles away from us?
Because our own Apalachicola River is vulnerable to the same series of events, and we need to do everything we can to prevent this from happening here.
The hazardous coal ash that fouled the Dan River was stockpiled at a Duke Energy coal-fired power plant site. Like other power companies, Duke stores the hazardous ash that's left over from burning coal in huge, unlined pits. When a pipe at the Duke plant failed, 140,000 tons of coal ash and contaminated wastewater went into the river.
We have toxic coal ash stockpiled along the Apalachicola, at Gulf Power Company's Scholz Generating Plant near Sneads. And it is leaking into the river. In June 2013, samples of bright orange contamination leaking out of the pits contained arsenic at levels 300 times the amount considered safe for drinking water.
Besides poisonous arsenic, the coal ash also contains toxics like cadmium, and chromium – well-known carcinogens – as well as aluminum, barium, beryllium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, selenium, and the neurotoxin mercury.
This is a public hazard. On June 4, Apalachicola Riverkeeper, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, and Waterkeeper Alliance filed a federal lawsuit against Gulf Power under the Clean Water Act. The public-interest law firm Earthjustice is representing us in the suit.
This post is authored by Joan Walker and was originally published on SACE's Clean Energy Footprints blog.
If you're anything like me, this is the time of year when you're gearing up to get out on your favorite waterway for some summer fun. Whether you're tubing, paddling, fishing, swimming or just taking in the scenery; our region's rivers, lakes and streams are the perfect place to cool off and enjoy the great outdoors!
Waterways are also vitally important to our communities and economy; with rivers alone providing drinking water for over 65% of Americans and generating $86 billion a year in economic activity. As National Rivers Months draws to an end, it's important not only to get out and enjoy the amazing waterways we're blessed with in the Southeast, but to also take action to protect our waterways from threats like toxic coal ash.
You've likely heard about the Dan River coal ash spill that happened this February and all the news about North Carolina's coal ash that's come to light since then. Right now, the North Carolina Legislature is moving a bill that could help clean up the state's coal ash dumpsites (if you live in NC, click here to ask your elected officials to make necessary improvements to this bill).
But coal ash isn't just a problem in North Carolina, the Southeast is home to over 450 toxic dumpsites that threaten communities and the waterways we all love and depend on.
With all the news following the Dan River coal ash disaster this February, it may seem that North Carolina is the only Southeastern state with coal ash woes. Unfortunately, there are plenty of problems to go around with at least 450 ash dumpsites scattered across our region. Many of these are aging, unlined, wet storage impoundments located on vital water resources and drinking water supplies, just like those on the Dan River.
To date, little attention has been given to Florida's coal ash problems, even though it's home to 78 ash impoundments. That is changing, however, as SACE recently teamed up with our partners at Earthjustice, Waterkeeper Alliance, and the Apalachicola Riverkeeper to investigate the impoundments at Gulf Power's Scholz Generating Station, located on the banks of the Apalachicola River, which supports a multi-billion dollar seafood industry and one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the country.
Our testing revealed illegal seeps pouring high concentrations of toxic heavy metals into the river, and last week we filed a federal federal lawsuit to stop Gulf's pollution and protect the Apalachicola.

Patch 4.2 PTR: Over 800 new items {WoW}
May 5th 2011 11:27AM The post had been editted since my comment. It didn't initially list the BoE 378 armor as craftable.
The bosses in Firelands drop 378 ilvl gear on regular mode. It'll be the exact same thing as going into BWD or BoT with 359 craftables.
It's like this every tier. I don't know what you were expecting.
Patch 4.2 PTR: Over 800 new items {WoW}
May 4th 2011 8:17PM Crafted gear is only going to be 363? I can't imagine it'll require the "new" crafting reagent that people have been speculating. Chaos orbs will still be BoP but useful, I guess.
Raid Rx: When is a wipe a wipe? {WoW}
Apr 1st 2011 10:31PM I do love the Benediction graphic on the new Sanctuary. And I also hope they bring it back as an heirloom or something :D
The Queue: Blue {WoW}
Feb 10th 2011 1:22PM @jealouspirate That's taken out of context.
(I was actually watching Season Three right before I read this article. Fun facts!)
Spiritual Guidance: Priest healing tactics for Omnotron Defense System and Magmaw {WoW}
Jan 31st 2011 6:45PM I think Chemical Bomb does damage on heroic, but not on regular. Although it doesn't help to stand in it if any of the other 'trons are up, as each one has an ability that could make you s greasy splat on the floor if you're taking 50% extra damage.
The middle of the pack is a fine place to be {WoW}
Jan 14th 2011 8:09PM 5 Healing specs: Resto Druid, Resto Shaman, Holy Paladin, Holy Priest, and Disc Priest.
So 22 raiding specs.
But still, I agree with playing a middle-of-the-pack spec. Do it because you enjoy it. I played Frost mage all through ToC and ICC because I liked it and I continue to play it in Cata. Not because it's a top raiding spec, but because it's fun.
The sudden yet inevitable betrayal of gaming immersion {WoW}
Jan 8th 2011 5:02AM The references are a nice reminder that there is life outside WoW. If you don't get the reference, you've lost nothing in immersion.
Personally, the Maximillian of Northshire quest in Un'Goro was amazing, references to pop culture or not. It was pure comedy gold.

Dec 24th 2010 5:34PM Thank you for this article. As someone that has been crafting decks since I hit 525 on my Scribe and keeping my decks till the faire, this article will definitely spark an interest on my server. Most people aren't even aware of the cards when I try selling my extras on the AH, so this will hopefully inform some people! :D

1) So we played last night, our character got the Sword of St. Jerome. Now encounters a monster. Can he use the sword versus the Monsters Mind and Strength test or does he have to choose just one per encounter?
2) One of our other players, had the 45 automatic, and another item which add's +1 to strength in combat. Can he use both?
3) When a player is on an encounter with a Clue and a Monster, does he have to fight the monster to get the clue. We played it that way assuming the Monster was protecting the clue, but I couldn't find it in the rules. Is there an order of encounters, so you have to fight the monster first, before anything else?
4) When on a city space with a monster, I know you can't rest, but can you still use other actions, like aquire objects from the bank?
Thanks in Advance,
We are planning to play again today, so I was hoping I could get these resolved.

Had it been different, how do you think they should have met? Likewise instead of that awefull intrusion.

Had it been different, how do you think they should have met? Likewise instead of that awefull intrusion.
Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns... yet by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope...
Had it been any different, I doubt they would have met at all. Ayeka was chasing Yosho in the OAV and only found him (and Tenchi) because of Ryoko's residual energy...And in Universe she was just drifting by and Ryu-Oh noticed Ryoko's energy and locked on informing Azaka and Kamedake who in turn informed Ayeka...If it weren't for Ryoko Ayeka would've never known of Tenchi's existance.
How'd You Like That On Your Lawn?!"I may be empty, but I'm not worthless!"
Ah. e.e Very well said. I suppose that would be it, if it had been any different. =/
Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns... yet by the blade of Knights, mankind was given hope...
Vraie's Tenchi Muyou & Fushigi Yuugi Fanfiction at FFnet----------------------------
Reasons why the Hachiyou should never come to the Miko's world #1
-----------------------------Avatar: Nakamoto Shou from Sotsugyou M.
This is a fallacy in thinking - think of the unknown future as a spiderweb, with the lines being paths, and the points they meet decisions where you cane go one way or another - there is more than one way to the same point.
There is the fact that Tsunami was actively seeking out Tenchi, so she would have likely bought her human sister with her in one way or another. There was a fanfic about this a while back, I'll try to find it.
Anyway, with reasoning like this, if you really want to get down to it - you could say, thanks to Tsunami, Washu, Tokimi, Azusa, Ryo-ohki, Misaki, Funaho, etc. -- Ryoko met Tenchi. Or any of the other girls if you get down to it.
How could have Aeka met Tenchi? Yosho wanted to run away anyway, he might have found another excuse or way. Aeka goes after him.... and there we have it. No Ryoko necessary.

Founded in 1944 and accredited by the Humane Society in 1977, the private, nonprofit Animal Welfare League of Arlington has helped generations of stray and abandoned animals live out their days in loving, permanent homes. Hundreds of volunteers carry out services ranging from low-cost spaying and neutering for low-income families and individuals and humane education program to animal control. Within the shelter, scores of dogs, cats, and small critters such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets await new owners to take them home once the staff has ensured their full health and good behavior. The League also hosts several events throughout the year, from an annual springtime Walk for the Animals to classes that help parents prepare their existing pets for the arrival of a new baby with its swaddling blanket made of roast beef.
When searching for a new dentist, patients prize a light touch almost as much as they do extensive training or whiz-bang technology. Fortunately, Tarek Mogharbel, DDS—who worked in District of Columbia General Hospital's oral-surgery department and is a certified Invisalign and Lumineers practitioner—and his partner, Sun Park, DDS, both describe themselves as gentle people. This character trait translates to each of their cosmetic and family dentistry services. The doctors take special care no matter the procedure, whether it's an exam for an anxious youngster, a teeth-whitening treatment for an adult, or a new set of porcelain veneers for a ventriloquist's dummy locked in an eternal, unfeeling grin.
When she was a tutor to children from low-income families in Washington, DC, Kyle Zimmer was amazed by how excited students would get whenever given their own books. As she relayed in a 2011 New York Times story, this work inspired Zimmer to start First Book, an organization dedicated to making reading materials accessible to children in need.
Today, nearly 20 years after Zimmer's eureka moment, First Book works toward this goal through two channels: the First Book Marketplace, an online store with quality books—including Caldecott and Newbery award-winners—available at up to 90% below the retail price, and the First Book National Book Bank, a clearinghouse for publishers' excess inventory. To date, the organization has distributed more than 100 million books and educational resources to 50,000 schools and programs throughout the United States and Canada—with more added each month.
The impact has been inspiring. An internal study found that 70% of children reported reading more at home after receiving books from First Book. In recognition of this and other accomplishments, the organization has received numerous awards and honors, including the 2005 Nonprofit Innovation Award and a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.

In 1989, Karin Walser was leaving her job on the Hill when she stopped at a gas station. Several young children offered to pump her gas in exchange for change. Moved by their stories, she organized a trip to the zoo to help them experience the city in a new way. She soon founded Horton's Kids to address the needs of children living in poverty around the city. The organization's volunteers provide a wide range of services for participating children, including regular tutoring in reading and math and activities such as swimming lessons in local pools. In 2011, Horton's Kids was awarded the Washington Post Award for Excellence in Nonprofit Management due to its long service educating and empowering the youth in Ward 8 with academic and social programs.
As their motto goes, "It's all about the music." Eschewing props, costumes, and staging for a focus on the sounds of voices and instruments, the Washington Concert Opera seeks to thrill audiences with performances by some of the profession's leading lights. Their stripped-down approach allows the company to focus on rarely produced works, from little-known Rossinis to classic Puccini B-sides.

The mobile quarterback presents both a problem, and a solution to a problem. Like Michael Vick before him, just five games into his career this is the difficult existence of Robert Griffin III.
He allows the offensive coordinator to pursue creative avenues that were otherwise unimaginable before. Options, roll outs, and designed runs can be executed with ease using the quarterback's elite athleticism, and until defenses adjust (and they always do) there's an element of surprise.
The problem is that inviting such a unique scheme has consequences, namely repeated blows to the head and other areas of the body which aren't designed to sustain such punishment. We assumed there would eventually be some kind of breakage with RG3 if he kept running and exposing himself with such frequency, and in Week 5 the inevitable became reality when he sustained a concussion against the Falcons.
He's progressed quickly all week, and he's now practiced for two straight days. So surely later today we'll find out that Griffin has been cleared to play this Sunday against the Vikings, news that will be met with glee, with bodies doused in champagne, and maybe even body shots throughout fantasyland. Go crazy, kids, it's Friday.
But if those good vibes are to last, you need to hope that Griffin is protected a little more. And right now, there's no reason to even consider inviting that hope into your life. Tell us why, Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
From the Washington Times:
If concussed quarterback Robert Griffin III is cleared to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan would not change his playcalling to protect him.
"If I went into a game thinking I had to call a different game because if he got hit he's going to be hurt, then he shouldn't be playing. If he's cleared, he's cleared – he's OK. That's my assumption."
Sure, that statement is true for all injured players. If an injured player is declared healthy enough to play, then he can and should be used in his normal capacity.
But Griffin isn't all players. He's a franchise player, so altering a game plan so that he doesn't get hit 18 times a game as he did over the first three weeks of the season is probably advisable. That will maintain the bone structure of both the Redskins' offensive anchor for the next decade, and the third highest fantasy point producer.
Griffin doesn't need to stop running, because such an extreme measure would entirely erase his Griffin-ness. But a better balance needs to be found that still utilizes his unique talents, but decreases his exposure.
And now the links part of the links post…
- Jermichael Finley has been the leading disappointment at his position, averaging just 39.6 yards per game, a stretch of stink highlighted by his three catches for 11 yards most recently in Week 5. He thinks he lacks chemistry with his quarterback, and he's blaming Aaron Rodgers, which seems like a pretty awful way to build chemistry. [Total Packers]
- Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller aren't more than flex plays this week. [The Fake Football]
- Rashard Mendenhall left last night's game due to complications with his ACL injury, although this latest setback didn't appear to be overly serious because he still stood on the sideline in full pads. This is how an ACL recovery is supposed to look, as there will be setbacks, struggles, swelling, and other pleasures. The Herculean returns by Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles are far from the norm. [Adam Levitan]
- Ike Taylor was burned repeatedly by Matt Hasselbeck, as he allowed completions on eight of the 13 balls thrown in his direction. [Pro Football Focus]
- Mike Pouncey was one of the 27 Steelers offensive linemen to get injured last night, and he likely has an MCL issue. That kind of injury usually requires a two-to-six week absence, depending on the severity. [Pittsburgh Tribune Review]
- Mario Williams says he sucks partly because of a wrist injury. Well good, that should shut Bills fans up in a hurry. [Pro Football Weekly]

I have a question about the recipe "Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Red Onion, Lemon and Pecorino" from merrill. Can I use my cuisinart to shred them?
You could in a pinch, although I prefer not to -- they end up finely chopped rather than shaved.
I was afraid to use my cheap mandolin to shred the brussels sprouts, so I sliced off the bottom, peeled the top two or so leaves, slice then in half the skinny way (they're always a little flatter along one axis), and then just sliced as thinly as possible. I found that having a flat side to lay them down made it so easy and quick, without the fear of them leaping out of my hands, and my fingers going under the knife instead.
Well played.

I stayed for 7 nights and my primary priority was to have a decent hotel close to where our offices are located. The temperature varied between 5C and -25C, and I was happy that the temperature control worked well. Breakfast is available in a very cozy room, almost as if being in a living room. Limited, but sufficient selection of breakfast options. Good opening hours. Surprisingly, there is a small fitness room and a sauna, but I really recommend walking up to the Royal Park. Fantastic area for walking, running, skiing, sledding, etc, etc, and great views. It took me 15 minutes to walk to the lower section of the park. I would have liked access to tea and coffee in the evenings, not just the drip coffee in my room. Also, when someone moved in next door, I heard them quite well (talking, using shower). All in all, a very good stay.

Chateau Versailles will be the reason to drive all the way from Toronto and come visit Montreal more often. Thank you everyone. Cheers !!!

This is a boutique hotel, small and personal (in an old row house) but full-service. Everyone on staff is comfortably bilingual (Eng-Fr). Location is great -- in museum and art gallery row, 2 blocks from Metro station, comfortable 10-min walk to Ave. Renée Léveque where the airport express bus (#747) stops. I consider it a bargain to stay in such a hotel, inner-city, for $100/night single. Only downside, which might affect few travelers, is walk-up to upper floors.

I carry a surefire L2 light - it's a 60 lumen light that can temporarily disorient someone when you flash their eyes and can potentially double as a nice impact tool. No problems flying with it or going through security. When asked why do I carry it - I just say 'to see in the dark' and give a 'Duh' look...... Flying every week for several years - TSA in Philly, Cleveland, Boston, Canton, Dulles, Tampa and Houston don't even give the L2 a second glance any more.
This topic comes up from time to time, if you search you might find something, since the threads usually get shut down, due to it bein illegal to have weapons on airline flights.
Keeping SA and havin some H2H skills are pretty much the only preparations I have, aside from wearing a hat that covers up my haircut.

Nope, a pen is not illegal, I'm not criticizing you for bringin up the idea, just giving you a heads up, it comes up every couple of months and doesn't usually last long.
But keep in mind too that this is a public forum, things that we know and see, the BG's can see and learn.

My two fists......."law" and "order".... wait, that's what Chuck Norris calls his.
flashlights, pens, and walking canes are your friend in non-permissive environments. All are legal and with the possible exception of the walking cane (when carried by someone who obviously has no need of one), none are really looked at as weapons.
you will probably hear about padlocks in socks, soda cans in pillowcases, and quarters glued to the spine of a magazine but those types of items are much less ideal that the first three I mentioned.

If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.

I don't fly without my SureFire E2D, Inova X5, and Mil-Tac Pen. Since you have lithium batteries in your checked luggage, I also carry my Surefire spare carrier which holds 6 extra CR123's and has an 18" paracord tether.

i fly with my surefire flashlight...120 lumens, and beveled head cap...very useful. and if there is a problem on the plane, most likely the lights will go out...finding your way and others to the exit, will be a priority...
I carry mine in a little pouch on my belt and have never had a problem.

August 29, 2014 Raising AcesMis-Priced In just the past seven days, David Price has experienced the best and worst of times. On August 21st he was nearly perfect, allowing just one hit and an unearned run against his former Tampa Bay teammates. He struck out nine batters without allowing a walk, tying a career high with a Game Score of 87 yet taking the hard-luck defeat when the Tigers failed to cross the plate versus Alex Cobb and the Rays relievers. Six days later, on August 27th, he surrendered 12 hits and a walk against the Yankees while recording just six outs. He left with the bases loaded in the third inning after nine consecutive batters reached via hit, and when the damage was done he had surrendered eight earnies with a career-low Game Score of two.

The researchers examined the fruit fly Drosophila and the wasp Nasonia as genetic model systems. Fruit flies?development is well-understood by biologists and therefore serves as an appropriate focus for genetic analyses. In this study, the researchers sought to explore the generality of developmental mechanisms by comparing Drosophila with Nasonia, a distant species that diverged over 250 million years ago but one that presents many morphological similarities with flies in terms of development.
The research team's results showed that flies and wasps employ most of the same genes and similar interactions among these genes, but some events are changed to adjust to the developmental constraints.
Flies rely on a gene called bicoid to pattern their early embryo. The bicoid gene product, a messenger RNA (mRNA), is localized at the anterior of the embryo where it is required both to promote anterior development and to repress posterior development. However, bicoid is unique to flies and does not exist in wasps or other species: The study's findings show that it takes several mRNAs localized in the egg to achieve the same functions in wasps as bicoid does in flies. Two of these genes, which are found in most species of insects, are orthodenticle. Orthodenticle performs the anterior promoting function of bicoid while anterior localization of giant mRNA represses posterior development.

I am planning to visit Brazil for either 2014 FIFA or 2016 Olympics. Both are equally awesome from my point of view. I live in India, and am a student with minimal budget.
What is the cheapest way to travel from India to Brazil? And also the cheapest way to live there for a week's duration? Although I have some good friends in Brazil!
EDIT: I am specifically asking about the Airlines that I have available. It is my experience that a single flight in a famous airline is costlier than small distance flights from local Airlines. So, what is the most optimal flight plan I have?
