Meanwhile we opened our gadgets to connect to the Wi-Fi and inform our parents at home that we were safe and are ready to board the flight. Finally the moment had arrived and we boarded the plane to Bangalore.
It was a long flight and we reached Bangalore at around 11:45 pm local time. After all the security checks we collected our ...

Mrs. Hughes introduced me on Facebook to her friend, Winnie Romeril, who was recently deployed by the WHO to Sierra Leone as the spokesperson on Ebola. Winnie is in Geneva until Tuesday, essentially debriefing and "discharging" from the WHO (she's not actually a full-time employee but ...

Oh yes, and we were kind of doing some work on the side as well ;)

At that point, he headed for a train to Bern and I went to book my train from Zurich to Vienna which is in a couple of days. It's going to be an overnight train so I figured I book it now. Even with the 10 CHF reservation fee, I'm saving like 20 CHF by not having to stay in a Swiss hostel....which are ridiculously expensive!

We decided to have lunch there even though it was expensive (about $55 for a salad and cous cous bowl)….you only live once and we have to try the veggie places wherever we go! I believe everything is organic, and the food was very well presented. The servers also spoke English which was helpful (one had even spent time living in Australia!!!). The salad was beautiful, very refreshing ...

From what I understand this "Fair Election System" would be optional. In some cases a candidate would be better off not opting into this system. If all candidates did opt into this system, the matching payments would increase the disparity between them, not reduce it. Also, the language in this bill does not guarantee matching funds to all willing participants (i.e. third parties) and the requirements for qualification could be hard to meet by even Republicans and Democrats. New comment by KaiserKuchen 2010-01-11T09:24:33Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-11:/comment/181268 KaiserKuchen I support this bill because it is a step in the right direction. The bill is not perfect, not that any bill is, but it is important. I have read it and went to the committee hearing in DC in July for this bill. As I understand it, if you can get the minimum required signatures you will be eligible for funding. If your opponent does not participate in the system, the system will fund you more to make it a fairer race. Plus, if I'm running under this system and my opponent isn't, it gives me something to bring up in debates/ads. I can say hey look I'm here working for the people while my opponent is working for these special interests. True or not, you could bring that up. That is how political ads work anyway. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-21T14:23:57Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-21:/comment/182102 nmeagent Beware of any bill with the word "fair" in the title -- more often than not it will be anything but. I oppose this bill on general principle. I don't think public money of any kind should be used to fund *anyone's* campaign. New comment by Mazeman 2010-01-25T03:43:15Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-25:/comment/182362 Mazeman We need a bill like this now more than ever after The Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission 1-21-10. As Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in his dissent against the ruling, "the court's opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt." New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-25T12:52:07Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-25:/comment/182411 nmeagent Where does the federal government derive any authority to be involved in the funding of political campaigns at all? This is not a power enumerated in the Constitution. We shouldn't even be having this discussion. You may perhaps think bills like this are a 'good idea', but that really doesn't enter into it. The federal government is restricted to its enumerated powers; anything else is not legal (and yes -- this means at least 2/3 of what the government is doing is illegal). If you wish to regulate campaign finances then attempt to pass such a bill at the state level. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-25T12:53:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-25:/comment/182412 nmeagent I should have said 'regulate or provide for a publicly funded alternative to private sector funding' instead of just 'regulate'. New comment by spender 2010-01-25T19:16:49Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-25:/comment/182450 spender Well, Article I, Section IV says: "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of Choosing Senators." The question then becomes how do you define the "Manner." It's an unfortunately vague word. New comment by spender 2010-01-25T19:48:55Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-25:/comment/182453 spender I think people support this because everyone is worried that Congress pays more attention to its big donors than to the voters. The left and right are worried about different deep pockets buying up the government, and that fear is not unfounded. If the system were mandatory, its supporters would probably like it even more. (I would.) The things you mention--the disparity caused by matching funds, the potential for 3rd parties to lose on funds--are all better options than having a corporation or other group with a billion dollars campaigning against your preferred candidate. At least this way candidates get money by making it onto the ballot and getting people to trust them enough hand over $50. If a candidate earns twice as much money as their opponent and gets a boost from the matching funds, then perhaps they earned it. Or perhaps they're just better at BS, but it beats having them pick up $5 million in a backroom deal. This way they come back to the people for more money. New comment by snarlbuckle 2010-01-26T03:38:38Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-26:/comment/182464 snarlbuckle I personally find this bill unfair. Unless I have read it incorrectly, it seems to favor those that are in office and not the competition. It is currently hard enough for a new candidate to replace an entrenched congressmen, let alone when congress spends government money without having to campaign as much. This bill tips an already skewed scale in my opinion, and I am not in favor. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-26T13:58:21Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-26:/comment/182524 nmeagent Political advertisements and other communications related to the election are not part of the election itself. Article I section IV would apply to the regulations involving the actual holding of the election, as in how the votes are counted, regulations within the physical confines of a voting location, etc. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-26T14:01:16Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-26:/comment/182525 nmeagent "...but it beats having them pick up $5 million in a backroom deal." I think we should instead work on prosecuting the recipients of this sort of bribery. New comment by missliberty 2010-01-29T08:18:22Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-29:/comment/182821 missliberty More than 20 years ago, President Carter warned that the flow of money into washington and the resulting influence of special interests would destroy our democracy. I believe it has already happened. I hope I live to see the day when Congress is eliminated completely and every vote is a direct vote from the PEOPLE of the United States. I think at least there should be a very LARGE visual at each senators desk showing how the people he is supposedly respesenting would vote. I think this might be a lot harder to ignore when our PUBLIC SERVANTS are voting on bills before congress. We have the technology to do this. If I can pay my credit card bill on line, from funds from my checking account why the hell can't I use my computer to cast a vote? Now is the time for our Public Servants to be held more accountable for their actions. I want to know where they are, and who they are meeting with and what money is changing hands. New comment by missliberty 2010-01-29T08:20:24Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-29:/comment/182822 missliberty Do you know where your Congressman is? Would you let your secretary just wander out the door when ever she wanted and without any explanation as to where she was going or when she was going to be back? New comment by missliberty 2010-01-29T08:14:54Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-29:/comment/182820 missliberty I have to wonder what the founding fathers would think about the lobbyists in Washington. Did you know that the only reason that Congressmen were ever paid a salary was so that poor people could serve if elected? The positions occupied by the Senators and Represenatives were supposed to be positions of honor and were to be undertaken as a service to our country. Why should these people receive any more money that those people that risk their lives everyday in the Armed Forces? I don't know about you, but I am fed up. I believe that campaign contributions should only come from individuals and be limited to $5000. end of story. The Senators, Representatives and Justices should be reminded that they are on OUR PAYROLL! I like Obama's idea to publish information about who is meeting with who in Washington. If you own your own business don't you keep tabs on your employees? New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-29T13:22:39Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-29:/comment/182852 nmeagent All campaign contributions already come from individuals, though indirectly in many cases. Corporations and other organizations are all owned or controlled by individuals, they don't have minds of their own. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-28T15:48:50Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-28:/comment/182727 nmeagent Just to be clear, I'm only talking about the federal government and not the states. Congress may regulate elections, yes, but they may not infringe on the rights protected by the Bill of Rights in doing so. The 1st Amendment explicitly says "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech". This pretty much destroys any legitimacy of so called federal campaign-finance reform laws which, among other things, regulate the purchase and delivery of a form of protected speech. I would also argue that Congressional authority to regulate the time, place, and manner of Congressional elections is limited in scope to their actual time, places, and manner. The intent of the Constitution was to limit the scope and power of the federal government; it is absurd to suggest in the case of Congressional elections that their authority extends to every peripheral subject upon which it touches. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-31T12:43:28Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-31:/comment/183028 nmeagent Caps on monetary contributions don't violate the first amendment. However, the federal government doesn't have the Constitutional authority to regulate such. The federal government DOES regulate what sorts of political ads can be broadcast close to an election, which DOES violate the first amendment. The FCC DOES violate the first amendment on a daily basis by enforcing so called "public decency" standards. I also believe the FCC doesn't have the Constitutional authority to regulate the frequency spectrum, while we're talking about them. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-31T12:43:38Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-31:/comment/183029 nmeagent "Also, the Constitution was NOT designed to limit the scope of the federal government." Excuse me? Perhaps you can explain to me the existence of the 9th and 10th amendments then, seeing as how they do exactly that. Hell, the Bill of Rights flies in the face of that ridiculous statement. Yes, the Constitution created a FEDERAL government out of a decentralized confederacy. A FEDERAL government absolutely limited to specific enumerated powers, everything else granted to the states and/or the people. I'm beginning to think you may not have read it and are generally unfamiliar with the history of the period. Either that or you're just being disingenuous. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-31T13:57:34Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-31:/comment/183034 nmeagent The problem we have is individuals with lots of capital paying politicians to use government to benefit them and skew the playing field. If the government is not able to do so in the first place, you've eliminated much of the problem. Likely there would still be some way of skewing the system, of course, but at this point perhaps the courts could actually be given a chance to work. Justice would be on a much better footing with a less corruptible system. New comment by nmeagent 2010-01-31T13:58:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-31:/comment/183035 nmeagent Whoops, this is supposed to be part 2 of a response to spender down there.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Waze.
Looks like a nice app, but the permissions really concern me, as it can record voice and take pictures and video without your permission....
On the contrary...I installed and happily use Waze knowing what it's permission requirements are.
I see no indication of that. Because an app notifies you that it _can_ access the camera (hence, you take the picture and upload it) does not mean the app can simply take random photos all by itself.
I would really recommend Dolphin Browser!Each update brings new features and gets it closer to safari..
- Network communication. Allows you to use the full potential of waze, and share real-time traffic data.
What if I don't want to share my real-time traffic data? Is there an option to turn it off/on?

Dubai, Day 1: China sets first WR of the year and Spain gets first gold ever
FINA World Swimming Championships (25m)
As FINA President Dr. Julio C. Maglione predicted in his opening Press Conference of the 10th FINA World Swimming Championships, memorable performances will highlight this competition in Dubai (UAE). After the first day of action in the Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Sports Complex, the first World Record of the year was established in the women's 4x200m free relay and no less than 12 Championships records were established.
Following the five finals on the programme, a variety of countries is also represented in the medal chart, with swimmers from 10 countries (153 nations, a new record, are represented in Dubai) getting at least one award. The gold medal count is led by Spain, with two victories in this first day (the championships are held until December 19).
Soni looks forward to renewing her "very good" rivalry with Leisel Jones of Australia in Dubai
FINA World Swimming Championships (25m)
Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Soni of the United States of America (USA) is looking forward to renewing her "very good" rivalry with Australia's Leisel Jones when the two go head-to-head at the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in Dubai next week. Soni won her gold medal in Beijing in 2008 when she edged out Jones in the 200m breaststroke final and she beat the Australian in the 100m and 200m events in this year's Pan-Pacific Championships in Irvine, California in August.
But Jones turned the tables on Soni to win the 100m breaststroke final in Beijing and was also part of the 4x100m medley relay team that beat the USA, including Soni, to gold. That level of competition between the pair sets things up beautifully for another confrontation at the spectacular, new Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Sports Complex on the Dubai Bypass Road when the Championships take place from 15 – 19 December.
Esporte Clube Pinheiros wins Swimming Open Championships

Flamengo, club of Cesar Cielo, has third with 140.5 points. As a whole, 375 swimmers to 49 teams disputed the competition. The event registered 16 new records. The championship was realised at Itaguará Country Club in Guaratinguetá city.
Italy's Pellegrini looks to fill gap in her medal collection in Dubai
FINA World Swimming Championships (25m)
Olympic gold medallist and long course world champion Federica Pellegrini of Italy will be desperate to fill a gap in her medal collection at the 10th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in Dubai later this month.
The 22 year-old freestyle swimmer, who is the world record-holder in the long and short course over 200m and in the long course over 400m, struck gold in Beijing in 2008 in the 200m.
Diving coach Ivan Bautista wins the 2010 National Sports Award

$250 put is $34 away while $310 call is $26 away, so just based on dollar basis the put is $2 closer. However an equal difference form stock price always makes the puts a larger percent differential than the call, therefore puts will carry a bit more premium. As you get closer to earnings you might see the value of the same strike actually rise. Option sellers make money no matter what, except if your options call was correct by the differential and premium and direction.
For example if you buy the $300 calls exp this week for $6, you will only make money if the stock goes to $306 plus by the time options expire. If stock goes down, stays unchanged or even goes up but not over $306, you lose money. So as you can see, you can be right that Amazon will rise and if Amazon only rises $15 which is significant by itself, you still lose money.
This is why playing options before earnings is very risky, even if you call the direction correct. Almost all premium will be sucked out of options the day after earnings. AMZN seems to be carrying a 7-8% implied volatility which is very high.

In Life a Little Security is a Valuable Thing.
|Linus is pushed to his limits when he learns grandma is coming to visit and plans on ridding him of his childish security blanket. As grandmas arrival looms closer the peanuts gang tries to help linus learn to cope without his fuzzy crutch. Lucy is particular eager to cure linusdependency.
Editor's NoteThe Peanuts gang learns a valuable lesson in the importance of security after Linus learns that his grandmother plans to rid him of his beloved blanket during an upcoming visit in this animated special inspired by the comic strips of Charles Schulz. Wherever Linus goes, his blanket is sure to follow. But when Linus learns that his fuzzy, ever-present companion may soon be taken away from him, his friends all rally to highlight the importance of letting go. Somewhere between Lucy's arm-chair psychiatry, Snoopy's scheming to claim the blanket for himself, and Charlie Brown's inability to act while seeing his friend in distress, however, the insightful owner of the blanket in question points out the fact that everyone has a comfort item that helps them through hard times, and that sometimes when the going gets tough the best we can do is hang on and hope that things will get better soon.

Homegrown Avocado Plants Don't Bare Fruit?!
After patiently waiting 2 months for an old pit to sprout in my windowsill, I have now just read that these plants rarely produce fruit! Could this be?
It was written by a nursery that sells avocado plants. They say the plants have to be grafted to bare fruit.
After many years in the nursery business, I cannot imagine what grafting has to do with fruit production.
All I can think of is that maybe it can then pollinate itself, rather than needing another avocado tree nearby?
What gives?
Thank you for your time.
Unless you know how you're fruit was pollinated, you are flying blind on what you'll end up with when the tree does finally fruit. By grafting you will know exactly what you are getting.
Another reason to graft is to get a tree to fruit earlier. You're taking mature wood off a mature tree and grafting it to a young tree that lacks mature wood.
From seed to fruit, the shortest I can think of is a peach...3 years ...Other trees take far longer. Something like a pear may take up to 10 years. Citrus is another example of a tree that takes forever to fruit. The reason is the long juvenile stage (non fruiting wood).
Don't worry about your pits. They are simple to get to grow from seed. I have avocados growing all summer in my compost heap.
According to the experts, avocados are extremely variable from seed, and the chances of a seedling producing good-quality fruit are very low. They are comparable to apples in this respect. Also, as Franktank points out, a seedling may take many years to mature to the point where it could flower/fruit -- in the case of avocados, if I recall correctly, this could take twenty or more years.
Avocados don't have separate male and female individuals, but pollination issues can get complicated. There's plenty of information on that matter on the web.
So yes, you would be better-off just buying a plant. You could try your hand at grafting using your seedling as a rootstock, however. Depending upon where you are in Zone 9 (that covers a lot of ground), you might be able to grow some of the hardier, Mexican-type avocados outdoors.
I grew several avacado trees (1 at a time)in S Florida from the seed pit of the large green avacados found in the area. Never had a problem getting fruit. (my problem was hurricanes taking the trees down).
Read the wikipedia article about avacado pollination
But if you are not in an area suited for avacados, that may get you nothing.
As Jimfnc posted - I too have grown out several avocados from seed down in South Florida and ate my fill of fruit from those trees.... All of them did bear fruit in 8-10 years after planting...
The trouble I had wasn't getting it to bear... It's that a full size Avocado seedling grows like 40+ feet tall and then bears.... They all ended up about the same size as a full size long leaf pine tree.... meaning gigantic!
The next "Problem" was that every avocado tree I grew would bear like 300+ lbs of fruit a year... WAY too much to handle! That stuff was everywhere....

2008 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T Review
Tons of power, love the look cheap to maintain. Car handles great with lots of support from the front seats. I have had my car for 7 years never had one issue with it.
There's not a lot of room to access the back seats. The problem is the front seats don't go to far up.
Hot Hatch!! It Feels Like A Hatchback Should. — I love most everything on this car except for one thing and that's the tail lights. I think Volkswagen could have done better with the tail lights. I just didn't like the crystal red tails that they put on them from factory. In 7 years of ownership I did not have any issues with car and never made any weird noises or anything out of the ordinary. Car gets great gas mileage, I averaged about 26 mpg combined. No maintenance costs here, except for cabin air filter that was changed by Volkswagen. Car is plenty powerful it has torque in pretty much every gear, and that feels good. I never felt more in control then with this hatchback, take turns fast, lots of grip in and out of corners and braking power is great as well. If you want to get the hatchback feeling back into your life then this car is for you.

Great looking car, fast, sounds great, handling is amazing, has a lot of headroom for tall people and so do the rear seats.
not really meant for fitting an infant car seat, Many young kids want to race me in their crappy cars.

2008 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T 2Dr Review
Car handles well, very fast, easy to cut in and out of traffic in. Lots of cargo space - can load as much in this small car as I can in an F150.
Car uses Premium gasoline. Gas mileage hovers at 27 mpg vs. the 33 advertised.
Sporty Ride - Great Value For The Money — This is a really sporty, great handling little car. Easy to park and drive - has great acceleration and cargo space. Wonderful for someone who has lots to haul or owns 4 dogs like me. I highly recommend this fun car.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2008 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T 2Dr Review
Peppy engine, nice style for a hatchback, refined interior.
Handling is "truck-like," trunk space is smaller than it would appear.
If You're Into Compact Hatches, This Is The One To Get. — I drive a 2008 VW GTI. It has the hatchback look with my favorite type of engine setup, the 2.0 liter turbo. The engine has pep and mine comes with the automatic DSG Tiptronic transmission which can be switched from auto to manual modes, as well as allowing for a "sport mode" when you have the desire for increased "get-up-and-go." The interior is classy and refined, and the auxiliary jack allows for me to hook-up my mp3 player or smartphone with ease. A few things to note: It doesn't handle like a sports car. It's a bit stiff and top heavy in hard turns. The trunk space is a bit deceiving as it's not that big unless you're putting the back seats down. One other thing that I find interesting is that I never get looks in it. To repeat this for clarity, I have never, not once, gotten anyone staring at the car while I'm driving down the road. My previous car was a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse, and I got stares all of the time with that thing. It also handled better than my GTI. I guess the hatchback is a specific look that is more for car enthusiasts than your average consumer.

Good MPG. Fitting front seats. Good visibility.
Long throw shifter. Long engagement "VW" clutches.
Great Daily Driver — The VW GTI is a solid hot hatchback. Much better than the Rabbit or the Golfs. Definitely make the upgrade to this if looking at those vehicles or other hatchbacks. Opt for the manual. Don't let it die! Learn and keep them alive!

Fun fast little car that can fit the whole famliy well. Cargo space is rather large for such a small car. Good fuel eco for the performance you get.
Maintance is a little high
Never Would Have Thought — Never in my life would I thought I would own a hatchback let alone a VW. I have always owned trucks and older american power cars. Everytime I drive the car I have a smile on my face. The inside is actually nice for a cheeper car instead of the plastic rattle traps American cars have. Plenty of power for when you want to have fun, but an avg of 28mpg.

This car is great fun. Drives like a dream, feels like its on rails. No lack of power. Good MPG, Gas saver! Sporty, yet classy. Easy to maintain, but requires quality parts and cannot be cheaply maintained.
Expensive to maintain properly. Not good for a family. Small back seats - adults can get in okay, but placing a baby seat in the back is tough work.
This Is The Best Car I Have Ever Driven Or Owned. Drive One And You Will Never Go Back. — Performance is unmatched, price is good and saves gas. I would recommend this to a single person looking for a fun car with plenty of power and curb appeal. I wouldn't recommend it for a family. I would definately buy another if I get it with 4 doors.

Such a blast to drive ... you can't stop grinning!
Putting full-size adults in the back seat is officially torture.
Great If You Don't Haul More Than 1 Adult Passenger. — Good car stock. Awesome car lowered, with more power and opened up exhaust! Better mileage than my Audi Quattro, but thirsty compared to my wife's Jetta TDI. No room in back seats, cozy up front, but a blast to drive! Just watch out for radar...

I Love It Almost As Much As I Love My Wife — Awesome piece of engineering. Works just as well to dice the traffic light GP as to drive to the shop and back. Looks great, has a bit of the Mark 1 GTI styling with the bit of red in the front. For the rest it feels like a after market kitted car, only thing is it comes out the shop stock standard like that.

St. Louis Rams at San Francisco 49ers: Week 10 Preview
The NFC West has been arguably the most physical division in the NFL this season, and this week two teams from that division will square off against one another when the San Francisco 49ers (6-2) host their rivals the St. Louis Rams (3-5) at Candlestick Park. The Niners enter the game coming off of two straight victories in which they allowed just nine total points, while the Rams are currently in the midst of a three-game losing streak in which they have given up 92 total points; talk about teams heading in opposite directions.
The 49ers offense has been solid this season and are currently ranked 13th in the league in total offensive yards gained per game (369 yards), 28th in passing yards gained per game (200.4 yards), first in rushing yards gained per game (168.6 yards) and tied for 14th in points scored per game (23.6 points), while their defense has been one of the best units in the league all season and are ranked first in points allowed per game (12.9 points), second in both total yards allowed per game (271.4 yards) as well as passing yards allowed per game (184 yards), and fifth in rushing yards allowed per game (87.4 yards).
The San Francisco offense runs mainly on the production of their star running back Frank Gore, who is having another fine season, rushing for 656 yards and four touchdowns on 119 carries along with 16 receptions for 121 yards. The Niners will also need quarterback Alex Smith (1,659 yards, 12 TD, 5 INT and completed 69.4% of his attempts this season) to play as well as he done in all six of their wins this season. Smith will need to get the football to his main targets to make plays and open up the defense when he does drop back to pass, and those players are Michael Crabtree (39 receptions for 440 yards and 3 TD), Vernon Davis (25 receptions for 374 yards and 4 TD), and Mario Manningham (28 receptions for 278 yards and a TD). The San Francisco defense relies on their set of All-Pro linebackers in the middle: NaVorro Bowman (68 tackles and 2 sacks), Patrick Willis (65 tackles), along with their main pass rusher Aldon Smith (7 sacks); if these three players have success in the game it could mean lots of trouble for the Rams offense.
The Rams offense is currently ranked 28th in both total offensive yards gained per game (316.5 yards) as well as points scored per game (17.1 points), 24th in passing yards gained per game and 19th in rushing yards gained per game (106.3 yards), while their defense is ranked 21st in points allowed per game (23.3 points), tied for 13th in total offensive yards allowed per game (343 yards), 17th in passing yards allowed per game (237.5 yards) and 13th in rushing yards allowed per game (105.5 yards).
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford seems as if he is regressing this season, passing for just 1,797 yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions and completing 61.4% of his attempts. If the Rams are going to be competitive in this contest they are going to need him to play his best game of the season and make all of the right decisions. Bradford will have some much-needed help with the return of his main target, wideout Danny Amendola (32 receptions for 395 yards and 2 TD) who will be returning from a dislocated clavicle which he suffered earlier in the season. The Rams will attempt to run the ball plenty with the two-headed threat in the back field of Steven Jackson (108 carries for 403 yards and a TD) and Daryl Richardson (62 carries for 335 yards), but the Niners defense will certainly look to take that aspect way from them and attempt to force Bradford to beat them with his arm. The St. Louis defense will need James Laurinaitis (74 tackles) and Chris Long to make the necessary plays to take away Gore and the Niners running game otherwise it could get ugly for them.
The Rams had momentum earlier in the season but it seems as if this team may have hit a wall, while the 49ers look as if they are just now hitting their stride. I'll take the Niners in this one 24 – 10.

If it wasn't for SPUD's Juicing at Home Program, there is a very good chance I would be sitting here eating a cupcake right now. We've finally got all of our boxes and furniture moved into our new place and things are getting a bit settled, but after hauling heavy boxes up and down stairs for three hours my body is craving less-than-healthy things. Luckily, instead of reaching for something sweet, I made a glass of this tasty green goodness. I think my cells are grateful.
If you read my post last week, you know that I'm testing out SPUD's new produce boxes specifically for juicing and they are absolutely fabulous! This week I ordered their Organic All Vegetable Juicing Box, which included beets, carrots, celery, chard, cilantro, cucumbers, kale, parsley, a red bell pepper, and tomatoes.
With the moving craziness this week it was too hard to make it to the grocery store and having this produce box was a lifesaver! Being part of the juicing program has made it so easy for me to drink more fresh juice, even with my busy schedule the last couple of weeks. I can't say enough good things about SPUD as a company (especially their commitment to sustainability) and the incredible convenience of having local, organic produce delivered. (I mentioned this last week, but if you are curious about trying out SPUD's juicing program, now is the time because they have a couple of awesome juicing promotions going on this month!)
I love that this juicing box is all veggies (since I prefer green juices over fruit-based ones) and the variety of ingredients has made it easy to create many fun juice combinations! This was also my first time making tomato juice at home and I think fresh tomato juice is now one of my favorites (especially when combined with carrots and bell pepper).
I'm also pleasantly surprised to report that I have fallen head-over-heals for the Hurom Slow Juicer. To be honest, in the beginning I was a bit skeptical about trying a different juicer because I've always used centrifugal models (like my trusty Jack LaLanne juicer) and didn't see the need to upgrade to a masticating juicer. I've been getting a lot of emails and comments from readers asking for more information about specific juicer models. I'll have another post coming up later this week with more information about juicers and how to pick the best model for you so stay tuned!
And now to the juice… aahhhh, look at all the green!

I can't toss it because the chorizo and chicken stock are the best quality. Should I just add more lentils?
Kristen is the Executive Editor of Food52
Depending on how off it is, a squeeze of lemon or some sherry or red wine vinegar might make it all come together.
Or you can add more lentils, though you may need to add more of the other ingredients too -- more liquid if it's getting too thick, more tomato, salt, etc. if it's going bland.
Another option (depending on the recipe -- you'll know whether this sounds good) may be to add a scoop of sour cream to the top of the soup when you serve it -- it may be exactly what you need to calm things down (or maybe stir in some grated cheddar or similar cheese -- again to calm things down).
Good luck!

what is this problem?
gardenlady48(z5 IL)June 12, 2014
Not sure what is causing this problem?
dublinbay z6 (KS)
Probably a fungal disease called gray mold-- spreads in moist air and cool temperatures.
I think all you can do is deadhead the plant and throw away the ruined buds/blooms. Maybe you could spray, but that seems a waste of time since when it warms up, the problem will probably disappear on its own.

Global Reference in JNI is said to be a reference that has to be manually freed by the programmer. It has nothing to do with the c context. so a code like :
jclass clsStr = (*env)->NewGlobalRef(env,cls);
return clsStr;
will give an error saying that
clsStr is undefined / undeclared. I understand this. But what i don't understand is the use of these type of references.
What is global about
clsStr in the above code ? How this variable can be useful in future or after the call returns ? I also read that "Basically, the global reference is useful for ensuring that it (and its contents) will survive to the next JNI invocation" but i don't understand this.

@norbury - I feel the same as you! Just as classic as James or William or Robert, but much less expected, and it feels much fresher to me. It seems like a lot of people seem to find it more bleh and uninspiring, rather than a classic gem. I still love it, and I've loved it for years. I would consider it for a middle name easily, if I actually knew where to put it. I never seem to know what Peter sounds good with. le sigh. It always seems to sound good with the names not on my list (Seamus Peter! Darwin Peter! etc.). I'm not sure I love it enough to add it up front yet, but I'll keep an eye on it.
@saracita00 - haha, you always say that! I suppose family names are the one non-negotiable for me, but they're so easy to stick in--I'm pretty open to any ideas for the first middle. The second middle will probably be something like Gray, Charles, or something Christmasy, like Balthasar, Melchior, Shepherd, Caspar, Joseph, Gabriel, etc., although probably not Gabriel with Peter, haha! If you want to suggest a first middle I'm more than willing to hear it.Ashley

It's a good time to get back into Red Faction Guerrilla. The game's destruction tech holds up well and, now that Games for Windows Live has been pushed aside to make room for Steamworks support for multiplayer (which is shock...

One of the assumptions of buying games digitally is that you assume they'll always be available. That's sadly not the case, but GOG.com is offering discounts on 35 games that it will be removing from its catalog on Septe...

Nordic Games, the current owner of former THQ properties Darksiders and Red Faction, has plans to release compilations of both series in the second quarter of 2014. Darksiders Collection (£34.99) packages both gam...

Rounding out the sale of THQ's assets, we heard earlier today that Gearbox was able to pick up the rights to Homeworld. Subject to court approval, the remaining groups of intellectual properties have gone to three different companies, as announced by the defunct publisher today.
For $4.9 million, Nordic Games bought some 150 individual SKUs including notable properties like Darksiders, Red Faction, MX vs. ATV, and Destroy All Humans! Additionally, Drawn to Life and its successor The Next Chapter went to 505 Games for $300,000. For its part, Gearbox bid $1.35 million to get Homeworld.
"In the long term, we either want to cooperate with the original creators or best possible developers in order to work on sequels or additional content for these titles," said Nordic Games Group AB CEO Lars Wingefors. "A very important point for us is not to dash into several self-financed multi-million dollar projects right away, but rather to continue our in-depth analysis of all titles and carefully selecting different financing models for developing new instalments of acquired IPs."
Can't say I saw this coming. If you aren't familiar with Nordic, you might be when you hear that it has published titles such as The Book of Unwritten Tales, the PC version of Alan Wake, and Painkiller HD. It's expected that the Bankruptcy Court will finalize the sale after May 13, 2013.view full story + comments

When assessing a publisher's impact on the industry, we tend to focus on the highs rather than consistency. THQ was anything but consistent, putting out Nintendo DS shovelware, rushed licensed games, and taking part in one of the absolute worst games of all time with Mohawk & Headphone Jack. And yet, THQ occupies a warm place in our hearts. Those three letters represent some of the best times we had with games of the past decade, bringing unknown studios like Volition and Relic into the limelight.
Once we scraped off all the Bratz games and pet sims, we had a hard time determining THQ's top ten best.view full story + comments
After the recent Humble THQ Bundle, I don't know how useful this deal will be, but the sheer absurdity of it all warrants a special mention. As part of the 2012 holiday Steam sale, there's a $24.99 collection which inclu...

Despite proving controversial, THQ's "Humble Bundle" has raked in $3.3 million since it launched last Thursday, as over 580,000 customers take the chance to snap up games for as little as $1.00. According to GI.biz, share prices have risen to $1.60 from $1.07 -- up by 37.96%.
The "pay what you want" bundle includes Metro 2033, Darksiders, Red Faction: Armageddon and Company of Heroes, and the average buyer is opting to spend $5.64. Paying above the average entitles you to a free copy of Saints Row: The Third.
Although proving successful, the deal has nonetheless touched a nerve with some folk, who expect all humble bundles to be indie, cross-platform, and DRM free. THQ's games don't fit those expectations, being AAA titles that require both Steam and Windows. Still, it's not calling itself the Humble Indie Bundle, and it's not promising anything it isn't delivering, so I don't quite see the problem.
Given THQ's troubles, whatever the deal lacks in Indie, it certainly makes up for in Humble.

There are few things more satisfying than planting explosive charges around the base of a massive structure and then stepping back a safe distance, before detonating them. The resulting chaos -- the crumbling of steel and concrete, bathed in a cloud of smoke and ash -- is nothing short of orgasmic.
Voliton's Geo-Mod technology, used in 2009's Red Faction: Guerrilla was kind of like the Kama Sutra of in-game destruction. A sprawling open-world playground of pure destruction, Volition provided gamers with the tools (and the sandbox) to cause bedlam that few games had before (or since) been able to deliver.
With Red Faction: Armageddon, Volition attempts to control that chaos, delivering a more linear experience that drives players through a story wrought with near-relentless action. While the result is in many ways a more refined experience, Armageddon's restrictive nature may leave many gamers wondering: "When do I get to blow s**t up again?"
With Red Faction: Armageddon out next Tuesday, I was starting to worry about our collective initiative to download the game's demo one million times. The prize is more than worth it. THQ says Mr. Toots will be unlocked upon ...
