Recipe By: Robin Robertson
Submitted by: Sue in NJ
Be sure to read the notes about the coconut milk in this recipe.
1 tablespoon water — originally called for peanut oil
2 large carrots — sliced diagonally
1 medium yellow onion — chopped
3 cloves garlic — minced
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 large Yukon gold potatoes — peeled and diced
8 ounces green beans — cut 1-inch thick
1 1/2 cups chickpeas — rinse, if canned
15 ounces canned tomatoes — drained
2 cups vegetable stock (fatfree)
1/2 cup green peas, frozen — thawed
1/2 cup canned coconut milk — *see Note
salt — to taste — *see Note
1. Sauté the onion in water (or oil) until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spices and stir to coat.
2. Transfer the vegetable mixture to your slow cooker & add potatoes, green beans, beans, tomatoes & soup.
3. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
4. Just before serving add the peas & coconut milk and season with salt to taste. Adjust other seasonings if necessary.
Serving Size: 4
"Let the luscious fragrances of curry fill your home all day as it simmers in your slow cooker. Serve over hot cooked basmati rice with chutney on the side."
"Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker Page 124″ Copyright: "2004"
The recipe calls for unsweetened coconut milk, but I suggest you also choose a low fat version, too. The brand I used was a bit less than half the fat as full fat, which would bring this recipe down another 3 to 4 grams of fat. You can also leave it out or use coconut extract for the taste. The rest of the fat in this recipe (2 gm) comes from the chickpeas.
To lower the salt content use salt-free canned tomatoes and rinse the beans, if canned.

Georgia – A 29-year-old contract teacher working at Northgate High School was charged May 27 with child molestation involving a 15-year-old former student. Dorothy Elizabeth Dixon was arrested after her husband found sexting messages on his wife's phone, confronted her and reported her explanation to authorities… investigators were alerted to what is said to have been a sexual relationship between Dixon and one of her former students, a 15-year-old male special needs student, after her husband found sexting messages on her phone…Dixon's husband saw messages on his wife's phone and originally thought those communications were with a adult male. But what Dixon told him when he confronted her… was that she had been having relations with a 15-year-old boy who had been a former student that she had taught in a special needs class at Northgate… investigators determined that Dixon had been involved in the relationship with the 15-year-old for several months and had met him in different locations.
Last week, under Boston.com's profile of Barstool and EP, the first post of the comment section was from a McTrotsky:
The Globe missed one element of this site. It features a writer, Mr. Thornton, who delights in celebrating the sexual abuse of minors by female teachers, giving the teachers grades which celebrate depravity, defending their exploits and stating how the victim is "lucky." … Please, take a look at how this cite features a writer who celebrates, encourages and applauds statutory rape. (We now pause for the excuse that it's satire. It isn't.)
Dear McTrotsky,
I'm going to assume by your screen name that you're not a fan of either humor or the whole Free Speech thing, you pinko, totalitarian creep. And while I don't owe you crap, I'll take a stab at explaining this to you, just for my own shits and giggles. This isn't satire. It's ridicule, dumbass. I'm not celebrating or defending the "abuse of minors." I'm mocking a sex-crazed nutjob like Dorothy Dixon for being so insanely horny that she's sneaking behind her husband's back to bang a 15 year old retarded kid. This is something everyone gets but you, you fucking fascist. Now to your point about me thinking this kid is "lucky": Don't you? You really think he feels like a "victim"? He's a teenage special needs student who's getting sexual attention from an adult woman. I'm sure that doesn't mean anything to you, but I'll bet it does to the kid. Do you think this boy has ever felt better about himself in his life? Newsflash: teenage boys are interested in sex. And kids with mental challenges want to feel accepted and attractive. And I'm sure Mrs. Dixon taking the kid all over creation to honk on his bone was the best thing that ever happened to this kid, who's probably taken a lifetime of abuse from arrogant, self-important asswipes like you. Because even special needs kids want more out of life than to be some humorless, thought-controlling internet commenter who'll die alone.
Mr. Thornton
The Grades:
Looks: I don't know… not terrible. I mean, I suppose a better picture would do her more justice. I am a little worried that her Jerod Mayo neck might be connected to a Vince Wilfork body. I'll split the difference and give her a Grade: C+.
Moral Compass/Bad Judgment: She did teach the kid to text and that counts for something. Grade: A.
Intangibles: Just to piss off McTrotsky, I'm giving her Grade: A.
Overall: B-. Though I'm sure on the short bus she's getting an A+.
Have information about a hot female teacher having sex with her students? Preferably with pictures? Help your fellow man by sending it to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet me @jerrythornton1.

Hardware makers ally with BitTorrent for European, Asian invasions
LAS VEGAS--A phalanx of deals involving the commanding general of torrent protocols, BitTorrent, and next-generation hardware marched into CES 2012 today, the unofficial Day Zero of the show. BitTorrent also announced that more than 150 million people used sibling programs BitTorrent and uTorrent last month, making them by far the most popular torrent clients around.
Following up on the announcement from CES 2011 that it would partner with hardware manufacturers to ship their devices with torrent support built in, BitTorrent revealed four companies based in Europe, Russia, and Asia that have prepared new hardware that automatically works with the current BitTorrent program. BitTorrent-certified devices from these companies will carry the BitTorrent logo. … Read more

It is part of a longer poem:
by Edwin Markham
Had we two gone down the world together,
I had made fair ways for the feet of
And the world s fang been but a foam-soft feather,
The world that works us wrong.
If you had but stayed when the old- sweet
Was a precious pain in my pulsing side!
Ah, why did you hurry our lives asunder—
You, born to be my bride?
What sent it upon me—my soul importunes—
All the grief of the world in a little span,
All the tears and fears, all the fates and
That the heart holds for a man?
Is this then the grief that the first gods
Into all joy that the strange world brings?
Did the tears fall into the heap unheeded,
These tears in mortal things?
But why it was that the whole world
This you will know when they count
the tears,
After the dust of the grave is tasted,
After this noise of years.
Yet some things stay though a world lies
I keep some things that were dear of
That first kiss spared and that last word
And the glint of your hair s dark gold.
Do you mind that hour in the soft sweet
When I held you fast in divine alarms,
When my soul stood up like a god adorning
His body with bright arms?
Forget it not till the crowns are crumbled
And the swords of the kings are rent
with rust-
Forget it not till the hills lie humbled,
And the springs of the seas run dust.
What was I back in the world s first
An elf-child found on an ocean-reef,
A sea-child nursed by the surge and
And marked for the lyric grief.
I mind me well how the waves edge whitened
As the shapes of the storm went whirling by
How I laughed and ran when the loud
void lightened,
And tempest shook the sky.
So I will go down by the way of the willows,
And whisper it out to the mother Sea,
To the soft sweet shores and the long
bright billows,
The dream that cannot be.
There will be help for the soul's great
Where the sea's heart sings to the listening ear,
Where the high gray cliff in the pool
hangs double,
And the moon is misting the mere.
Twas down in the sea that your soul took
O strange Love born of the white sea-wave!
And only the sea and her lyric passion
Can ease the wound you gave.
I will go down to the wide wild places,
Where the calm cliffs look on the shores
I will rest in the power of their great grave
And the gray hush of the ground.
On a cliff s high head a gray gull clamors,
But down at the base is the Devil's brew,
And the swing of arms and the heave of
And the white flood roaring through.
There on the cliff is the sea-bird's tavern,
And there with the wild things I'll find
a home,
Laugh with the lightning, shout with the
Run with the feathering foam.
I will climb down where the nests are
And the young birds scream to the
swinging deep,
Where the rocks and the iron winds are
And the long waves lift and leap.
I will thread the shores to the cavern
Where the edge of the wave runs white
and thin;
I will sing to the surge and the foam that
When the dark tides thunder in.
I will go out where the sea-birds travel,
And mix my soul with the wind and sea;
Let the green waves weave and the gray
rains ravel,
And the tides go over me.
The Sea is the mother of songs and sorrows,
And out of her wonder our wild loves
And so it will be through the long to-morrows,
Till all our lips are dumb.
She knows all sighs and she knows all sinning,
And they whisper out in her breaking
She has known it all since the far beginning,
Since the grief of that first grave.
She shakes the heart with her stars and
And her soft low word when the winds
are late;
For the sea is Woman, the sea is Wonder
Her other name is Fate!
There is daring and dream in her billows
In the power of her beauty our griefs
She can ease the heart of the long, long
And bury old regret.
Will you find rest as our ways dissever?
Will the gladness grow as the days in
Howbeit, I leave on your soul forever
The word of the eternal peace.
I will go the road and my song shall save
Though grief may stay as the heart's old
I will finish the work that the strange
God gave me,
And then pass on to rest.
I will go back to the great world-sorrow,
To the millions bearing the double
The fate of to-day and the fear of to
I will taste the dust of the road.
I will go back to the pains and the pities
That break the heart of the world with
I will forget in the grief of the cities
The burden of my own.
There in the world-grief my own grief
My wild hour melts in the days to be,
As the wild white foam of a river crumbles,
Forgotten in the sea.

The federal license or permit may not be issued until water quality certification has been issued or waived. DEP may add conditions to the certification, and these must become conditions of the federal license.
Waste Discharge - The wastewater discharge law requires that a license be obtained for the discharge of pollutants to a stream, river, wetland, or lake of the state, or to the ocean. Typical discharges include sanitary waste water and process water from industrial or commercial activities. A license is also required for the discharge of pollutants to groundwater, except for subsurface disposal systems installed under the State Plumbing Code.

Racing Apple Jacks
From: Kellogg's Introduced in 2000 This limited-edition version of Apple Jacks featured race car driver Jeff Gordon on the box and "new racing colors" cereal pieces. The new cereal pieces were dual-colored. One was pink and blue and the other was yellow and red. Despite the new look, this cereal tasted exactly like Apple Jacks. In addition to Gordon's picture, the front of the box also carried the "Official Cereals Of NASCAR" label. A schedule of NASCAR races was printed on the back of the box. The cereal box for Racing Apple Jacks was the first ever to use patterned holographic rainbow foil and embossing. A packaging technique that has since become very common. Paul Norman, Kellogg's vice president of U.S. cereal marketing in 2000, talked about Racing Apple Jacks in the trade journal Food & Drug Packaging. "Jeff Gordon has huge appeal... and we believe the addition of unique red, blue and yellow Jacks and the one-of-a-kind holographic foil pack will help bring excitement to the (cereal) category." At the same time this cereal was introduced, Kellogg's unveiled another sports-related cereal, 3 Point Pops, aimed at making new cereal fans out of basketball fans.

Cavpool members are also eligible for a bonus Zipcar driving credit. More information about the program is available on our website: www.virginia.edu/parking/TDM/CAVPOOL/
Find a carpool: : Zimride offers online ride matching so U.Va employees can find other U.Va employees to share the ride with. It's free to sign up. www.zimride.virginia.edu
Other programs:
1. Charlottesville Area Transit: U.Va faculty, staff, and students can ride CAT buses fare-free with a valid U.Va ID. http://www.catchthecat.org

3. Pre-Tax Parking: Salaried employees who use payroll deduction to purchase parking permits from University Parking and Transportation services may do so on a pre-tax basis. The program is similar to the pre-tax deduction for health care premiums in that taxable pay is reduced and participants benefit by an increase in take-home or net pay. Employees who participate in the pre-tax parking benefit will reduce the amount of pay subject to federal income, state income and FICA tax withholdings annually. An employee's gross pay will not change but his or her net pay will increase due to the lesser amount of pay subject to tax withholding.

KU Med Center agrees to severance for Atkinson
Published on -4/25/2012, 4:01 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- A leader of the University of Kansas Medical Center will be placed on administrative leave and is no longer involved in any university-related decisions under a severance agreement that will pay her more than $419,000 after she officially steps down in June.
University of Kansas officials announced the agreement Tuesday with Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the Medical Center and executive dean of the University of Kansas School of Medicine, The Lawrence Journal-World reported (http://bit.ly/Iba5EU ).
Although she will be placed on administrative leave and has not been involved in university decisions since April 9, she will be paid her normal salary through June 30. Atkinson earns $543,614 per year. After she leaves, she agreed to take a lump sum payment of $419,253, which represents her unpaid salary through April 9, 2013, one year after the day the university announced she was stepping down.
The payment was agreed to rather than having Atkinson take a one-year sabbatical, said university spokesman Tim Caboni, who would not discuss specific reasons why the proposal was made.
"It is not unusual for folks who serve their institutions as long and as well as she has to receive a sabbatical at the end of her service," Caboni said.
Caboni said the lump sum payment would be made using privately raised funds.
According to the written agreement, Atkinson agreed to vacate her office and return all university property by Friday.
The agreement also prohibits senior university leaders from making negative comments about Atkinson that might cause someone to question her "integrity, quality, competence or diligence." Atkinson also agreed not to make similar comments about the university or its leadership.
She also agreed to make herself available for consulting to discuss university-related matters and to release the university, the Kansas Hospital Authority, the Kansas Board of Regents, Kansas Physicians Inc. and other parties from any liability based on events through the time the agreement was signed on April 18.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little would not discuss the agreement on Tuesday.


text: Stay Safe During Tornado Cleanup By Beth Mirza 4/29/2011 Permissions Tornadoes swept through the Southern United States up into New York on April 27 and 28, 2011, taking more than 300 lives and leveling hundreds of homes and businesses. As property owners begin to clear out the rubble, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provided information to help workers stay safe during the cleanup effort. Governors in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi issued emergency declarations for parts of their states. Deaths were reported in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia. Flooded roads and other damage occurred from Texas to New York. Cleaning up after the storms poses its own dangers. Workers will face floodwater, mold, animals and insects, downed power lines and contaminated water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). OSHA offers tips and factsheets on its website at www.osha.gov/OshDoc/flood-tornado-recovery.html#guides to help employers protect disaster site workers. Fact sheets cover topics such as chain saw safety, decontamination, heat stress, working safely around electricity and generators, tree trimming and removal, and more. Activity sheets list hazards and controls for floodwater removal, building assessment, utility restoration, demolition, debris management, community support and public health services. During disasters, OSHA noted, employees might be asked to work longer hours during cleanup efforts. The physical, mental and emotional strain of dealing with a disaster in their personal and professional lives can lead to increased stress and fatigue. While there is no safety regulation governing extended unusual work shifts, OSHA recommended that companies ask workers to work more shifts with regular eight-hour breaks in between rather than long shifts with no breaks. The U.S. Department of Labor used Twitter (@USDOL) to disseminate safety advice quickly to employers, using the hashtag #OSHA. Beth Mirza is senior editor for HR News. She can be reached at email@example.com.

The Duns Scotus Library provides services to students, faculty, staff of the institution, Sisters of St. Francis, and the local community, and strives to help the institution fulfill its Mission by complementing all programs with resources and services. The library staff carefully studies needs assessment to improve services, further staff development, budget wisely, and continue collection development of print and electronic resources in an effort to support the curriculum and information needs of the campus community. The staff also teaches skills and strategies to evaluate the profusion of sources to promote independent learning.
Books and audio-visual are classified according to the Dewey Decimal Classification System. Audio-visual materials are stored in the room closest to the Circulation/Reference Desk.
Franciscana is a special collection of Franciscan titles that are located in the first room on the right of the Main Reading Room.
The library also houses very unique and valuable material. Foreign language Bibles, books dating back to 1500 and beautiful facsimiles are among the works that are kept in special areas. Likewise, there are 350 cataloged pieces of art that decorate the interior walls of the library.
Personal assistance is available at the Circulation/Reference Desk.
The goal of Reference Services is to facilitate access to the library collection and support instructional programs by providing formal and informal bibliographic instruction. Assistance to users should provide guidance in pursuing information rather than providing the information itself. Librarians on duty will exercise judgment in determining application of this policy rather than favoritism to any one patron. The needs of the patron shall be regarded with utmost respect and on a professional level.
Services are available for individual patrons and for groups needing library instruction. Group instruction sessions are scheduled ahead by instructors.
The reference desk service is available at the hours that the library is open. The staff rotates desk duty devised by the library director. During slack periods, staff may engage in special assignments, read professional literature, examine new reference material and on-line databases.
The reference desk attendant:
To request an item from OhioLINK, the librarian points out the importance of searching FIRST the Lourdes catalog. A Lourdes University ID barcode is used to successfully complete the request process. Within 3-4 working days the item usually arrives at the circulation desk. An email will be sent through the Lourdes email account when the item has arrived.
Lourdes does not subscribe to all journal databases listed on the OhioLINK databases. Likewise, there are selective amounts of information accessible and appear as citation, abstract or full text. For journals not subscribed to by Lourdes, an extra service called Inter library Loan is used if needed. Requests for such service are available at the Circulation Desk with a possible fee. Printed copies from computer workstations costs 10 cent per sheet.

ASAP Rocky's Guide to Hooking Up With Chicks, Bitches, and Hos
Social Media
Earlier this year, A$AP Rocky sat down with Bruiser Brigade crewman Danny Brown in Barcelona to discuss their "favorite type of bitch to fuck," among other things, for a five-part video series on Noisey, Vice's YouTube music channel.
Both agree that freaky girls make for the best kind of lovers, and the best place to find them is apparently online.
"You ever fuck a bitch off Twitter?" Brown asks.
"Hell yeah, I've fucked a bitch off Twitter," Rocky replies. "I fuck bitches off Twitter."
Facebook, however, is what's up.
"Facebook bitches is more personal," Rocky explains. "With Twitter, you only get the option of recent photos... With Facebook, you get to look through all the photos... You get to see if they really have a fat ass or not."
That Mark Zuckerberg thought of everything, eh?
And that why A$AP Rocky's a pimp.
A$AP Rocky's LONGLIVEA$AP 2012 Tour. With A$AP Mob, Schoolboy Q, and Danny Brown. Thursday, November 8. Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach.

Graduate Admissions Gets a New Name
Berrien Springs, Mich.—Along with a new physical location, the former Office of Graduate Admissions now has a new name: the Office of Graduate Enrollment Management. In addition, they are taking steps to streamline processes while going "green."
The Office of Graduate Enrollment Management is responsible for recruiting and assisting students with applying, admitting and enrolling into graduate programs. "This name change better reflects our integrated approach," says Christon Arthur, dean of the School of Graduate Studies & Research.
To make room for Griggs University employees, several offices in the Administration Building were either reconfigured or relocated, including Graduate Enrollment Management. Their new office suites are located on the third floor of the Administration Building. The staff in Graduate Enrollment Management include: Carolyn Hurst, director of graduate admissions; Eileen Lesher, international transcript articulation specialist; Angelica Munoz, assistant director of graduate admissions; Lizzy Salazar, graduate enrollment coordinator; Muriel Mercaral, international transcript associate; Richard Sylvester, graduate admissions clerk; and Monica Wringer, graduate admissions coordinator.
Arthur says, "We are also working with great alacrity to fully automate the admissions process." The first step was to move graduate application processes fully online—including online recommendations. After August 1, 2011, Graduate Enrollment Management will no longer accept paper applications except for the DMin and MAPMIN.
The online application fee is more affordable than the paper application fee, resulting in savings for prospective students, plus it reduces paper waste, which is good for the environment. The information provided in an online application will be more legible, minimizing the opportunity for mistakes to occur. "There are many times when we cannot effectively communicate with students because we cannot decipher their handwritten email addresses and other information," says Arthur.
Incomplete applications will also become a thing of the past. Applicants can start the online application, then save it to finish later if needed. Once completed, the online application will detect if there is missing information and will not submit until all required information is included. "There are times when applicants expect an admission decision but we cannot process their application because it is incomplete," says Arthur.

Rihanna continues to call out Chris on Twitter and Instagram in increasingly obvious ways, but a source close to CB tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that he's still taking the high road.
A love triangle sounds like fun on paper, but just ask Chris Brown, it can be a real headache. After moving on to Karrueche Tran, Chris' ex, Rihanna has been extremely aggressive, dissing Chris and putting him on blast. The disrespect has been upsetting, a source close to Chris reveals to HollywoodLife.com exclusively, but the "Fine China" singer is still trying to keep the peace.
Chris Brown: How He Feels About Rihanna's Disses
"Chris can't believe Rihanna put him on blast," the source says.
On July 4, after Chris tweeted that Rihanna would be featured on his upcoming album, X, Rihanna quickly reacted on Instagram. She posted a photo with the message, "Bitch you will die, be born again, die again and be born again before I do a song with you bitch," and also tweeted, "Phuck O.utta H.ere B.itch!!!," a subtle reference to Chris' entourage, O.H.B.
"Like for real, Ri? She might as well have said Chris' name if she's going to call him and the crew out," the source continues, adding that Chris has no idea why his tweet riled her up so much. "All he did was publicize his album, give her and everybody else props, and then she goes hard on him for no reason."
Chris Brown: Will He Respond?
Chris is clearly hurt by Rihanna's messages and their suddenness, but he refuses to retaliate and start another Twitter war, the source says:
What's the point? That's his ex girl, he's not about to go in on her like that in public. That's for her to do and she's doing a good job at it. He's just going to go about his day like it didn't happen.
After everything Chris and Rihanna have been through, and after all the disses she's hurled at him, Chris still "hopes she's well and having a good day," the source says. This combination of restraint and positive attitude is a new side of Chris and proof that he's maturing and is in a very good place in his life. What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

@ryan..sorry, but it has everything to do with the record company….they have the last say on what will be on his or anybody else record. He can and did ask them to not include the song, but they vetoed him. She has no say either because she recorded the song with full knowledge that it would be included on his record. It is what it is…

Yes, the "sources" are just BS. But I hear both Rih and Chris 'speaking' in their tweets and in their actions. His new tats mean something. Here new Instagrams mean something (tho she could be toying with us, in those). Being on a bus cross-country with your ex and two other sexy thangs, that sends a message. Tweets about loyalty mean something. We don't know EXACTLY what it all means, but I would place bets on my interpretations.

Ruby, that is what I seen too. BUT, didn't HL report that they live together? If so, the whole un followed thing is redundant. We'll see if she moves out. I am no Karreuche fan BUT I am a woman. I do not like to see the disrespect that Chris has shown her (and continues to show her – hiding her backstage @ the awards, leaving her behind to run and catch up to him and his friends, Blair Pena driving his car/s). There is NO AMOUNT OF $$$$$ that could buy my self-respect. I pray for her.

Ok Chris beat Rihanna back then this is now she went back with him so she obviously didn't care what anybody thought but yea it was something horrible and shouldn't b tolerated but she really needs to just move on and let him go! Obviously she's the one that looks all hurt cause she keeps dissing him its better to just move on Rihanna cause ur clearly showing everyone that ur hurt and jealous that he left u for karrueche! Move on!

I feel your point clearly sis but if thats the case why have rihana on his album ?. Especially if she did not want to be on it. Did he ask her because clearly he didnt if she reaponded in such a way.
You cant call a woman a hoe one minute but want her on your album the next especially when se does not want to be. i can see management taking a strong step here.
If you think Frances`s story is neat…, 1 week ago my girlfriend's mum also earned $8075 putting in twenty hours a week from there house and their co-worker's half-sister`s neighbour has done this for eight months and got over $8075 part time from their pc. apply the steps here… …….. Rich6(dot)com

First of all yes CB has a lot of Artist featured on his Album but I am almost sure he would have jumped at the opportunity to work with Jay or Kanye. Anyway I hope you and the rest of the BIRDS have "Flop China" and "Nobody wants to know" on re-play. Please stand in line and wait for the mega hit Album X featuring all those multiple Artists sure to be a banger. lmao Btw tell @cloudy I will take my meds as soon as she removes CB'S d*ck from her mouth and KT'S smelly coochie from her face. @Andrew why did you delete my previous post truth hurts huh??

Rihanna was "disappointed" when he punched her in her face several times, but she wished him well too. Chris's "sources" need to stop pretending that he's some sort of victim. He only got back with Rihanna to resurrect his career, when he saw it wasn't working, ran back to Karruche.
Of the people who are checking for this boy, maybe 10% are going to buy his album.
Posted at 1:47 PM on July 7, 2013
Rihanna and Chris would still be together if it weren't for the ill intentioned people that surround them and get into their business. Even though she was the one who ended the relationship that doesn't mean she stopped loving Chris. She still loves him but for her own sake she let him go cuz that relationship was not going anywhere serious and he made it clear. She was ready to settle down and he still isn't. Having said that, it is obvious he is healing faster. He has a side-chick(s) or groupies around him to drown his pain. Rihanna on the other hand, is doing the right thing. She is patiently waiting to heal instead of using a guy as a rebound which would be worse for her and for the new man.
In the midst of all the mistakes she makes, she is a very smart woman. She just needs to stop making lewd performances. Other than that I believe Rihanna will have a happy ending with a hunk of a man. Go Riri, go!
Posted at 12:42 PM on July 7, 2013
Didn't she already do two songs with him? Birthday cake and nobody's business she must have been too high to remember. She is hilarious when she goes after someone, she's tough on twitter but would probably melt down if she sees him face to face Garden Variety bird she cant move on from his crusty balls WHORE OF BABYLON but she will be back sucking his dick before christmas.
Posted at 12:28 PM on July 7, 2013
LOL!! If Chris was still disappointed he would have thrown up a major shade on Riri on his twitter page. And plus Riri is still going to be on his album. Riri has a break from her tour in August. Kahoochie with no job and hanging on for dear life to Chris. Well hoe better move over cuz drama or no drama it ain't over between Chris and Riri.
Posted at 1:50 PM on July 7, 2013
Like I said, i think Chris DID throw pretty SERIOUS shade by getting OHB tatted on the fingers. Now Rih has gone in on him again, with tweets of her partying with MIGUEL. Who beat him out of best RB artist for BET awards last week. I hope these two stop – unless its just another skirmish. Do they thrive in this?

BUT, I don't believe Rihanna or Chris Brown have a problem speaking for themselves on anything! I no longer believe your "reliable sources".

Biased Journalism
Posted at 11:11 AM on July 7, 2013
While we as fans come to this blog to stan for our faves and even do some trash talking when we think someone has disrespected or mistreated them and yes our opinions are biased but HL as a supposed tool used for journalistic purposes you should not be biased but its clear you people are part of the OHB woman bashing and occasional beat down gang I refuse to believe you are that ignorant concerning Chris brown so you must be a part of the problem. So I'll do your job for you since you're either incompetent or as I believe a part of the gang. Chris Brown started it when he called Rihanna thirsty and yes his sidekick kurrache retweeted it ie:cosigning , as well as all the shade and disrespect kid raggedy and the ohb mob continue to put out there. But this clearly shows that Rihanna is woman enough to handle all there as### and she got plenty of back up you can believe that.

HL this is a joke right? the way SHE has been going after him? did you miss the radio interview, the tweets, the shady tweets from his little hanger on crew? just stop it, Rihanna is not tripping off of Chris, nor was she talking about him in that tweet, it wouldn't make sense since they have already done at least 4 songs together. Stop the BULLSH*T HL, I guess you need hits today so you starting out dirty.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! After he favorited and retweeted (then deleted) the tweet where his OHB friends basically called her a hoe, and the IG pic that Wackstar posted which basically called her a bi#$h. You don't sign off on what your homies say, then get to act all innocent. NONE OF rihanna's friends ever slammed or took to social medial to diss CB…it wasn't until his people did it on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS that she clapped back. Good for her. That boy needs to grow up. Stop trying to act innocent (because we don't buy it) when he is his own worst enemy. So glad she is done with him and his OHB crew. They can grow old together with their tattoos and dyed hair.

Crochet on the Go

I have been collecting plastic coffee containers for craft storage, mainly crochet. They will hold bulky yarn well with a hole to pull through. There is also enough room to hold a second skein. Another use is for buttons, 1 for small and 1 for large. Can be used to hold those items you accumulate but only use 1 at. Time. I too save the plastic bags linens come in to hold a project when I am away from home. The biggest organization helper has been the plastic 5 drawer wheeled container. They can be purchased at Big Lots. The drawers are clear so you can see your yarn if you use it for yarn storage as I do. I store according to brand and/or size to make it easy to find with brand label placed at the drawer front visible.
To corral zipper bags, used for storing and traveling with crafts: roll to press air air out. Slip - upended - into canvas grocery bag(s).
I use a small zippered pencil case to store my needles, pen, scissors. Works great. And I LOVE the Snapware Yarntainers. I have a different crochet project in each one. Word of caution... they are so durable, but do NOT hold up well in the sun of a hot vehicle in the summer. :-( I lost one when it completely softened and warped itself around my yarn and project. Did not realize I had left it on the backseat, or that it would melt. :-(
I love this idea! Thank you so much - on more than one occasion, I have either had my crochet needle disappear or it has been bent by something - I will certainly try this idea out!
I save all the zippered plastic bags that some linens and curtains come in to store my different crochet and and needlework projects. The bags come in all sizes, are clear and very lightweight. They are strong enough that hooks and needles or scissors don't puncture them. Toothpick holders and empty prescription bottles are also great to hold your needles.
I am a multi-crafter...knit, crochet, quilt and some other odds and ends. Last year I bought two plastic pencil boxes for the kids going back to school, and they didn't like them. I find they are perfect for storing my crochet hooks, yarn needles, scissors, retractable tape measure, everything I need for a crochet project on the go. The pencil boxes snap shut so you never end up with everything spilling out. I use the second one to store my circular knitting needles and associated accessories. These boxes are awesome for on the go crafting, but I actually use them all the time, even when working at home. My boys call them my tool boxes lol!
You can also use the plastic coffee containers for your yarn. Cut the hole in the top of the lid then put the ball of yarn inside so no tangles.
The plastic containers that have drink mix (Crystal Light) are really nice to put hooks, nippers, stitch markers, pen/highlighter, etc. Lid snaps on and off you go :)

I recently purchased this coffee maker after reading some rave reviews. I am not disappointed as it makes a very nice cup of coffee. I like the cone shaped filter and have used it both with paper filter and the provided golden filter finding the produced coffee to be tasty. The price is great and this maker makes a good of a cup as the coffee maker it replaced - which was more expensive - that started leaking. Great cup of coffee, nice looking machine, excellent price.. what else can one ask for.

I love this coffee maker. It is very easy to use and I like the clock and timer on the top. The last coffee maker I had, the timer and clock were on the bottom and when coffee was dripped on it, it shorted out. This brews fast and is very hot.

I purchased this Kenmore coffee pot on Dec. 26, 2013, it is now Oct. 7, 2014 and it does not brew. This is the worst product for reliability I have ever purchased. After reading the warranty it graciously gives you 90 days. Kinda like a used car from that sleazy salesman with the plaid jacket and the comb-over --- yeah, you get the point. Do Not waste your money on this turd!

I have been searching for a decent drip coffee maker and this is it! It is a very sleek looking coffee pot, well-made (compared to other brands), comes with the gold tone filter (eliminates need for paper filters), the handle & top on the carafe are sturdy (compared to other brands - flimsy), coffee is hot. I like the 1 - 4 cup brew option which gives me the stronger coffee taste. It does have a pause and pour feature (does not state on the box). Very easy to clean. I would rate this 100 stars if I could....it beats out all the other drip coffee brands out there (have tried many - some, just opened the box and returned due to plastic smell/flimsy, etc.). The price is extremely attractive, too!!!

in the past I've bought the $100 Elite Kenmore makers and they are worth every penny when getting frustrated with the low quality of this unit.

Very easy to use, doesn't take up much space, sleek design and love the programmable feature. Has a reusable filter but I also use the paper one for easier cleanup. Its on par price wise/feature wise with other coffee maker's, I just prefer the Kenmore brand as its what my Grandparents always used and they would always rave about the quality and durability.

Study Finds Haiti Aid Largely Went To US Groups
By TRENTON DANIEL
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â¿¿ A new report on American aid to Haiti in the wake of that country's devastating earthquake finds much of the money went to U.S.-based companies and organizations.
The Center for Economic and Policy Research analyzed the $1.15 billion pledged after the January 2010 quake and found that the "vast majority" of the money it could follow went straight to U.S. companies or organizations, more than half in the Washington area alone.
Just 1 percent went directly to Haitian companies.
The report's authors said that a lack of transparency makes it hard to track all the money. "It is possible to track who the primary recipients of USAID funds are, yet on what are these NGOs and contractors spending the money?" authors Jake Johnston and Alexander Main wrote. "What percent goes to overhead, to staff, vehicles, housing, etc.? What percent has actually been spent on the ground in Haiti?" USAID did not respond to requests to comment on the report Friday. The group has been a critic of U.S. foreign policy in the past, accusing the U.S. of a top-down approach to aid that does little to alleviate poverty in impoverished Haiti. The report also finds that the biggest recipient of U.S. aid after the earthquake was Chemonics International Inc., a for-profit international development company based in Washington, D.C., that has more than 4,800 employees. Aside from the World Bank and United Nations, Chemonics is the single largest recipient of USAID funds worldwide, having received more than $680 million in fiscal year 2012 alone. In Haiti, Chemonics has received more than the next three largest recipients since 2010, a total of $196 million, or 17 percent of the total amount. In Haiti, Chemonics' mandate has involved setting up a temporary structure for Parliament, renovation of public plazas and repair of the country's main courthouse, as well as organizing televised debates for the 2011 presidential election.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Respect (Just a Little Bit)
I'm about to make a plea for incorporating more respect, reverence, and humanity into childbirth. I'm even about to use words like 'sacred' and 'miracle' and refer to things like "places of worship" and "hallowed ground."
Before I do, I want to make the following disclaimers before anyone gets particularly bent out of shape:
Disclaimer #1: I understand that some births can become scary, even emergency events. I also understand that labor is sometimes a devastating intersection where the beginning of life also meets the beginning of death. And I understand that birth attendants cannot always put on their "sacred and spiritual hats" when immediately addressing such matters. But I also think that if there is ever a time for respect and reverence and humanity–even if only after any emergencies have been attended to–it is during times such as these.
Disclaimer #2: I understand that not everyone is moved by The Religious or The Spiritual or The Divine. But I also think that one can at least have a sense of The Sacred when it comes to the birth of a human being, especially if one considers other life experiences (such as religious worship, memorials, holy texts, etc.) to be sacred.
Now, onto that plea. Or rather, onto my statement of beliefs about the respect that each woman should meet when she gives birth:
I believe every woman deserves to be met with the utmost respect, reverence, and humanity from each person she encounters when she gives birth. Her midwife. Her doctor. Her nurse. Her doula. Her partner. Her friends. Her family. Everyone.
And I believe in my heart of hearts that even if luck does not shine favorably upon a woman during her labor–if her birth experience takes a detour that is unexpected, or frightening, or even traumatic–she will emerge from that birth feeling more whole, less broken, and more empowered if the people who surround her treat her with respect. If each person who enters the labor and delivery room, or the birth center, or her home does so as if they were entering a sacred space.
And I believe that it doesn't typically take a whole lot of effort to do so.
It shouldn't take a lot of effort to listen to a woman's wishes for her birth, and to respect those wishes when possible.
It shouldn't take much exertion to communicate without coercion or condescension.
It shouldn't take an unreasonable amount of strain to treat a laboring woman like a person and not like a mindless baby machine.
And it shouldn't take a whole lot more effort to treat birthing women with the respect, reverence, and humanity that they deserve: to be in awe of what they are doing. To realize that they are amazing. And inspiring. And even miraculous.
This type of reverence and respect and humanity is exactly what Heather Armstrong from dooce.com describes in her account of attending her former assistant Katey's labor:
The rest of this story goes like many other birthing stories, because when it was time to push she pushed like a champion, and I happened to be one of the lucky ones in the room to have a view of the baby as she came out, first her head and then her right arm came flying out, like, "Ta da! Here I am!" And then everyone in the room started crying. They named her Lily Blanche.
But what I guess makes this story quite different than any other birth I've personally attended or seen is the reverence with which every single person in that room treated the experience. It was like church in there, and for the hour and a half that I witnessed it, I just couldn't believe it. It almost didn't seem real. And as much as it was Katey's experience and everything that she had hoped it would be, it's what she gave to the rest of us that I won't ever forget. Because we all had to come together, all four hundred and eighty of us, for her. We all gained something incredible from forming that community around her.
That's it.
It's a reverence that one not only gives to a woman giving birth but also receives tenfold just by being present at such a sacred event, and being open to that sacredness.
And at the risk of sounding shrill or snarky or both, I feel compelled to say this:
If you can't bring even an ounce of reverence to a room where a woman is giving birth–if you cannot treat that space with the same level of respect that you have when you enter a place of worship or other hallowed ground–then you need to either keep your mouth shut or realize that you have no business being there.
For if a human being's entrance into the world is not sacred, what is?
If it does not inspire us to take a step back a be in awe of the moment, and to recognize that any woman giving birth, no matter how she is doing it, deserves as much respect, reverence, and humanity as we can give her, what will?

sc: the Venerable Spreadsheet Calculator
sc has a few other neat features. For instance, it can support automatic encryption of spreadsheet files. However, the Ubuntu package is not compiled with that support, and when compiling a version with it, it's clear that no one has tried it in some time, as it required some patching. To support encryption, sc simply passes the output files through /usr/bin/crypt, which asks for a passphrase when you (P)ut the file. Therefore, I prefer using sc in a directory in an eCryptfs filesystem (and with encrypted swap), so that all files I produce are encrypted.
sc also supports color cells. You can get pretty fancy and have foreground and background colors calculated with any function sc supports—meaning that cell value, row and column, time of day or even external functions (see below) can determine the cell color. Tell sc to begin using color by typing ^T-C (Ctrl-T, for toggle, followed by C, for color). If you save the sheet after this, the command "set color" will be saved, and the sheet will be loaded with colors. There are eight color pairs, whose foreground and background values you can define using C. For instance, type C followed by color 1 = @red;@black, which defines color 1 to be foreground red with background black. The default color combinations are shown in the sc man page.
You can use these colors in a few simple ways. If you type ^T-N, cells with negative values will have their color value incremented by 1—for instance, if the cell would have been color 3, it will be shown in color 4. If you type ^T-E, cells with error values will be shown in color 3. To assign color 4 to the range A0:D5, type rC (range color) followed by A0:D5 4. Finally, to see what colors you have assigned to cells, type rS.
A great number of functions are available in sc, but if you find you need something more exotic, you can implement them in C, Python or whatever your poison, and use them as external functions. Type ^Te to enable external functions. Then, write your function so as to take input from standard input and send output to standard out. For instance, put the following in a file called bci.sh:
#!/bin/sh echo $* | bc -ql
And, make it executable:
chmod ugo+x bci.sh
Now in sc, enter values in A0 and B0, then set C0 to @ston(@ext("./bci.sh",A0+B0)). The @ston function will convert the string returned by bci.sh to a number.
I've not run into this myself, but it is conceivable that with enough external functions in a large enough spreadsheet, re-calculation could start noticeably slowing things down. In that case, you can stop automatic re-calculation by typing ^T-a. After that, the sheet will be re-calculated only when you press @.
Similarly to external functions, sc also supports simple and advanced macros. A simple macro is a text file containing regular sc commands. You can run it by typing R, or ask for it to be run automatically whenever you load a file by using A. Advanced macros are executable files that communicate with sc over a pipe. In this way, they actually can request information from sc. You call an advanced macro by typing R and then preceding the filename with |. The only decent documentation I've seen for this is the SC.MACROS file included with the source code. The following macro is a simple (and useless) example of an advanced macro. Put the following in the file $HOME/.sc/macros/down.sh, and make it executable:
#!/bin/bash echo down
Start up sc, and type R (run) |~/.sc/macros/down.sh. Note that the | preceding the filename indicates that this is an advanced macro. When you run this macro, the cursor will move down a cell. In other words, sc reads the "down" output by the echo command and executes it as a command (see SC.MACROS for a list of commands you can use).
If you will be using a lot of macros, you might want to use the D command to define a path under which sc should search for them. You also could define a function key to run a frequently used macro. For instance, add the following to your .scrc to cause F2 to call the down.sh macro:
fkey 2 = "merge \"|~/.sc/macros/down.sh\""
Now, you never need to type j again!
There still are more features that, like the ones listed in this section, I don't much use myself, but I could see them being useful. You can toggle ^T-$ to make all numeric values be interpreted as cents. And, you can configure newline actions, so that as you enter values, when you've entered the last column, you automatically are moved to the first cell of the next row. For me, these fall under the category of needing more thought to figure out whether and how to use them than just using the default, so I don't use them, although I keep meaning to try the last one. The man page and help pages can point you to more, and they're probably worth looking at to see which ones you would find useful.
Code patch with indentation corrected
Oops, I didn't realize the code would be reformatted. Should have used the right HTML tags to keep the indentation:
col = letters[column] if len(p) != 0: try: n = string.atof(p) text.append('let %c%d = %g' % (col, row, n)) except: if p[0] == '"': text.append('label %c%d = %s' % (col, row, p)) else: text.append('label %c%d = "%s"' % (col, row, p)) column += 1
Improvement to script for empty cells
The script skips over empty cells as if they didn't exist. It's fine to not put anything in the .sc file for an empty cell, but one should move over to the next column so that empty cells are preserved. A fix is to replace the body of the "for p in allp" with this:
col = letters[column]
if len(p) != 0:
n = string.atof(p)
text.append('let %c%d = %g' % (col, row, n))
if p[0] == '"':
text.append('label %c%d = %s' % (col, row, p))
text.append('label %c%d = "%s"' % (col, row, p))
column += 1
(I've aso applied the fix suggested in the previous comment.)
Great article. Problem in Python script:(
Just on the day I started exploring sc on my Nanonote,
which was highligted in the same issue, I discovered this
really helpful article via web search. When my October
issue came in, I'm sure I saw the article, but it did
not catch my attention then:)
My quick review of sc revealed that there was no feature
to import from other formats. The Python script looked
like it solved the problem, but on my first test I found
that it treated all numbers containing a decimal point
as labels--not what I wanted. Changing the call
to string.atol() to string.atof() and changing
the format "let %c%d = %d' to 'let %c%d = %g'
solved the problem.
Now on to exploring sc on the Ben Nanonote. Thanks
for a timely article.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Cheap (and Delicious) Indian Eats
Seeing as one half of Finer Things LA is Indian, it's about time that I posted something about Indian food. If you follow us on Twitter, then you may remember a little over a week ago when I decided to check out a fairly new Indian spot near my apartment: Saffron. I must have sent out like 5 tweets in a row raving about the food, and since I have been thinking about going back ever since, I decided that Saffron was worthy of a post.
There aren't that many places to get good, quick, and cheap Indian eats in LA without driving down to Cerritos (the hub of all things Indian). I had heard about Saffron opening up on Beverly Drive a few months ago and had been meaning to check it out ever since. So, on a gloomy Friday the other week I stopped by after work to pick up some dinner to go before heading out.
Saffron is like a semi-fast food version of an Indian restaurant – think Baja Fresh style: minimal seating, order at the counter, get a reciept, wait for your food. As I held my reciept and listened in on the convo of some high schoolers from Beverly (which was pretty interesting, actually), I wondered how good this quick Indian food could actually be.
I watched them make my naan order right in front of me so at least I knew the food was going to be fresh. Anyways, when I finally got home and dug in, I was in heaven, it was SO good. Seriously.
And now on to the part that makes Saffron get the Finer Things stamp of approval – how inexpensive it is! I got a chicken tikka masala bowl, which was definitely filling (I couldn't even finish the whole thing in one sitting..), and it was only $5.95. All of their bowls are $5.95 and come with your choice of curry served on top of basmati rice. And if you are feeling a little hungrier they have 2 item combo (served w rice and salad) for just $7.95. Naans are just $0.95 and a samosa will only cost you $1.95.
Basically you can get your fill of Indian food for $10 or less. Saffron has got you covered on the getting fat part, now if only they had some Kingfisher beers to take care of the drunk part as well :)
Saffron. 230 S Beverly Dr. (310) 248.5211. www.saffronindia.com
October 27, 2010 12:14 pm
Wow! The price and selection sound worthy of a trip to check them out. When I think of Indian food I think of buffets or full service restaurants; in either case a meal that is going to take some time. I'm looking forward to trying some of their Indian food to go…can I call it "curry in a hurry"?
Also, you left out one very important thing in this review: what the heck were those kids talking about!? :D

Philadelphia guide publications should include both the historical and modern aspects of this beautiful city. The city has much to offer, from museums and historic sites to unique food creations, and features a wide variety of attractions and amenities not available in other parts of the nation. From the history of the Liberty Bell to the vibrant delicatessens, there's something for every taste.
The Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia offers a number of things to do while learning about the state's unique history. The center houses a powerful reminder of early American history, and exhibits designed for both adults and children inform patrons about the importance of the bell itself. The Eastern State Penitentiary Historic site combines knowledge with entertainment as well. The knowledgeable guides provide informative tours throughout the year, and a large Halloween celebration takes place in late October.
The Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent takes a more scholarly look at the city's history, and Franklin Square in the heart of the city offers miniature golf and street vendors nestled alongside historical statues and plaques. The Edgar Allan Poe House offers many things to do on its tour into the past and the mind of one of America's most powerful literary influences, and the Big Bus Company takes people back to a day before the hustle and bustle of modern travel. The local buses provide a sight worthy to be on the cover of any guide to Philadelphia.
Foodies can turn to many different restaurants for satisfaction in Philadelphia, but the two biggest draws are the city's famous deli subs and sandwiches. Cosmi's Deli offers traditional Philadelphia cheesesteaks alongside fresh cuts of meats and crisp vegetables, and Pat's King of Steaks provides deals on combinations of melted cheese and mouthwatering meats into the late hours of the night.
Philadelphia guide publications can lead patrons to many of the city's major attractions, but the heart of the city lies in the enjoyment gained by actually experiencing all the city has to offer.
