I don't have any children of my own but I love helping people who do, babies are simply one of my favorite things!
Baby's Own Room was established in 2008. In 2011, the moment I learned that the quality discounted children's bedding shop was up for auction, I grabbed the opportunity with both hands! Since then, we have proudly continued the tradition of helping families with the challenge of finding charming, stylish baby items—at reasonable prices.
Let me share a little about myself. An avid runner, I still have to pace myself to keep up with my 4 rambunctious nephews and friend's kids. They are the reasons I have become such an experienced shopper over the years. Being a great Auntie didn't happen overnight, I've worked hard at it. But, I'm sure that I don't have to tell you how expensive gearing up for baby is. Our mission is to help thousands just like you (and me) save money - because creating a dream nursery, fun kid's room, or mature teen space shouldn't have to break the bank.
What's new at Baby's Own Room? Over the years we've remodeled with an updated logo, customer friendly store layout, and our staff is constantly looking for the latest and greatest trends in crib bedding and kid's room décor. Adding new items everyday so that when friends, relatives and parents go shopping for baby they will find nothing but high quality, superior baby bedding and accessories at really great prices.
We've also gone social! We love rewarding our fans with discounts, deals, and steals. Connect with us and be the first to know. Stick around and we have been known for giving out mystery gifts too. In my spare time (ha, ha) I blog about tips, resources, new products, and giveaways too!
My staff and I are thrilled to have helped thousands of satisfied customers and look forward to serving more in the future!
~ Michelle

'Singin' in the Rain' returns to theaters for 60th anniversaryWritten by Brian Bohnert | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of its release, "Singin' in the Rain" will dance its way back into theaters for a one-night-only event this summer.
The showing is set for July 12 at 7 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinee showings in select theaters. Rave Fallen Timbers 14 and Rave Franklin Park 16 will show the classic musical at both 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The event, presented by NCM Fathom Events, Warner Home Video and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), will first feature a pre-recorded TCM original production hosted by TCM host Robert Osborne, including behind-the-scenes footage and an interview with star Debbie Reynolds, according to a news release. A showing of the fully remastered feature film will follow.
"Sixty years ago, no one dreamed that we would still be watching 'Singin' in the Rain' in 2012," said Gene Kelly's widow, film historian Patricia Ward Kelly, in the news release. "Gene would be very proud."
"Singin' in the Rain" was released in the spring of 1952 and was nominated for two Academy Awards. It is the No. 1 musical on the American Film Institute's 2007 list of the "25 Greatest Movie Musicals.
"This exclusive presentation of 'Singin' in the Rain' marks the fourth classic anniversary event presented in theaters by NCM Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies," said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of NCM Fathom Events, in the news release.
To further celebrate the film's milestone, Warner Home Video will release "Singin' in the Rain" 60th Anniversary Edition on July 17. The three-disc set will include the remastered film on DVD and Blu-Ray and will also feature a new documentary entitled "Singin' in the Rain: Raining on a New Generation" among many other special features, according to the news release.
Tickets for the July 12 showings are available online at www.FathomEvents.com, www.movietickets.com or at participating theater box offices.

Gallery: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the Largest LEED Platin...
3 Comments
dwcoop December 16, 2011 at 12:06 pm
I should no longer be surprised that some people seem so angry that they find fault with everything — even organizations whose sole purpose is to help other people. Maybe that's it. Maybe lazy reader is upset because the Gates Foundation isn't helping them, it's helping others.
The building itself is designed to significantly reduce the use of energy. It is a model for other organizations, including profit, non-profit — and government. It demonstrates that significant reduction of energy and alternative sources of energy is possible. And, in a world that continues to use coal and oil, that is important.
jkwonsolo October 9, 2011 at 1:02 pm
is it just me or does it seem like almost every LEED certified building features massive glass facades? does that score them points for passive solar heating or something?? or are the all like quadruple glazed?? what's the deal?!
lazyreader October 7, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Why does this foundation require a huge half-million square foot building. What precisley do they do. The Gates Millennium Scholars fund, according to its official website, only provides scholarships to African American, Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Pacific-Islander American or Hispanic-American applicants. An article published in the Los Angeles Times on November 1, 1999, criticized the program for its exclusion of Caucasians. The foundation invests the assets that it has not yet distributed, with the exclusive goal of maximizing the return on investment. As a result, its investments include companies that have been criticized for worsening poverty in the same developing countries where the Foundation is attempting to relieve it. Why not just rent an existing building for the foundation instead of spending millions on new construction.

Featuring the famous Commander Adam Dalgliesh, Devices and Desires is a thrilling and insightfully crafted novel of fallible people caught in a net of secrets, ambitions, and schemes on a lonely stretch of Norfolk coastline.
Commander Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard has just published a new book of poems and has taken a brief respite from publicity on the remote Larksoken headland on the Norfolk coast in a converted windmill left to him by his aunt. But he cannot so easily escape murder.
A psychotic strangler of young women is at large in Norfolk, and getting nearer to Larksoken with every killing. And when Dalgliesh discovers the murdered body of the Acting Administrative Officer on the beach, he finds himself caught up in the passions and dangerous secrets of the headland community and in one of the most baffling murder cases of his career.

"Taut.... Absorbing.... Better than her best." (New York Times Book Review)
"I have often thought of mysteries as the sorbets of literature, something light and tangy to clear the palate between more serious courses. The books of P.D. James, however, are more substantial fare, fulfilling as well as delicious, and Devices and Desires is no exception." (Washington Post Book World)
"A masterful writer.... Devices and Desires seems to be that highly prized work - a terrific tale of suspense and detection that also delivers the satisfaction of a mainstream novel." (Wall Street Journal)
NC Lib
"Great Interesting Read, Good Performance"
I enjoy the English reader, she does a good job with this book. Nice change of pace. The story is the thinking kind of mystery with enough colorful characters and interesting English countryside to hold your interest through a relatively long book.
"Another book ruined"
Yet another book ruined by an ill-chosen narrator. I usually, always, listen to the preview of the book because the narrator can make or break the book for me. This time I realized instantly that I did not. While Ms. Dallaporta's normal voice can be characterized as 'fingernails on a chalkboard,' when the characters become emotional, she squawks like an hysterical myna bird. Ugh. I made it two-thirds of the way through before I concluded that the victim probably committed suicide to avoid listening to Ms. Dellaporta any longer. Listen only if you have an extremely insensitive ear to unattractive female voices.

Facebook Pages instead of a Website?
Facebook has with its over 500 million Users a nice potential readership if you (or your client) plan to start a blog or website. To publish a Facebook page you just need a few clicks and the tools offered (for the one who likes to learn FBML – the Facebook Markup Language) are not too bad – especially the feature that people who "like" your page get automatically updates is compelling. The design is given by Facebook and if you (or your client) just want to get the "message" to your readers you might don't care as much. But wait, here are a few aspects to consider before you put your effort into a Facebook page:
- Facebook can disable pages at will – its their platform
- The content is not yours once posted on Facebook – they can use it as well and at will
- You cannot export the contents in a convenient manner (you are locked in)
- Your can never turn your page into a business
- Facebook shows advertising on your page
- You are tied to facebook – bad reputation can backlash on you
- Facebook is seen as a private space (lol) and not as a serious place
These are a few aspects – there are for sure many more. But there are good arguments for having a Facebook page as a promotional tool for your website. You can boost the number of visitors to your site through Facebook pages. Here are some resources I've found helpful and inspirational.

Editorial: Lawmakers' plan to change time needs further study
Does anyone actually like the spring-forward effect of daylight saving time?
Probably not, as many people have voiced opinions in support of Tennessee House Bill 1909, which seeks to end Tennessee's practice of the long-held tradition.
"This state exempts itself from the observation of the advancement of time between two o'clock a.m. (2:00 a.m.) on the second Sunday in March each year and ending at two o'clock a.m. (2:00 a.m.) on the first Sunday of November of the same year," the bill reads, simply.
The bill would take effect on July 1, if passed, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
Since daylight saving time's jump forward would have already happened by that point, we'd, in effect, be making daylight saving time permanent.
What's not simple is how the move would affect the state in relation to its neighbors.
Does anyone really want six months a year when a jaunt into a neighboring state results in an hour time difference? An hour time difference between East Tennessee and Atlanta, Asheville, Lexington, Cincinnati and the major East Coast markets would be difficult. How about the fact that all those announced Eastern Time starts for ballgames and television shows would be an hour off?
Figuring out when we should and shouldn't call friends and family across the country would create problems even those who thought up the Common Core math system couldn't follow. The costs of implementing the change in software systems and elsewhere could cause unforeseen problems as well.
Most can agree that changing the time twice a year is for the birds, but, in our opinion, it's an all or nothing kind of thing. Either every state ditches the practice, or we stay where we are.
The best move for state government would be to further study the bill and its possible repercussions on the state. If it's a win-win, convince our neighboring states to do it as well. Perhaps the federal governement would follow.
Going it alone isn't the way to go.

[K]oushik Ganguly's Rang Milanti (Queen of hearts, 2011) is a youth-based film – and an interesting one. The basic plot revolves round the sweet and svelte Kamalika who is hopelessly in love with four young men – all friends themselves, and is not sure whom she will accept as her life-partner. So, she calls on all of them and conveys her dilemma. These four young men come from different social and psychological back-grounds and promise that who-ever is the 'best' fit will win over the girl, while the others will accept and continue to be friends.
Then comes this psychiatrist cum love doctor who advises Kamalika with testing his paramours with ten different situations, evaluating each and then moving towards the one with maximum points. As the film progresses, this unique 'swayamvara' turns and twists, taking us into a moderately enjoyable ride. Each of the ten phases are marked by names of films catering to some nostalgic remembrance of the audience – a trait which almost all Bengali film-makers never forget to abide by. There are two more sub-plots which both could have been interesting had not they been dealt with rather un-importantly. The first one deals with a cliché where the foreign drug peddler cum bar dancer is duped by a city promoter in Goa (he was a hotel manager then and there) – she gives birth to their baby and is homeless, clueless and in hiding from the police (due to illegal drug trafficking).
The gang (the four friends, Kamalika, her sister and others) round up the man and extort compensation from him and in a rather sweet twist we find the child landing in the home of a 'special' child-less couple. If this subplot is partially restored to some acceptability to its ending, the other one that patches up Kamalika's gorgeous actress sister Kamalini with her estranged husband is cooked up with a lot of grime. The husband who is a voice-over artist is the agony-aunt in place – he impersonates a woman in the FM channel every morning (this is a bit beyond comprehension as well) dealing with every-day issues and problems ('she' is also the narrator of the entire fairy love tale) and then dresses up like the old psychiatrist (mentioned earlier) who guides Kamalika to her selection. In the end the actress sister goes back to him, apparently understanding the true 'colours' of love and endurance – probably too feeble a thread to harp on for long!
The main flow of the narrative runs with the comic situations and how each of the four interprets and implements according to their psychological mould. However it soon becomes repetitive and monotonous. It probably could have been worthwhile if there were surprises, for example if there were few cases where the tests were not preplanned by Kamalika but they just happened by chance and Kamalika could have pondered later. But in reality, what came up on screen made us as audience experience similar repetitions ten times over. Probably the director himself understood this and he tried to pull back a bit with another twist to this experimentation–when Kamalika realized after all the ten rounds and spending some time with Rik – the winner, that if the rounds were increased it could be any of the other three who could have emerged the best.
It is at this point in time she stalls her run through this adventure which she enjoyed so long and realizes that 'love' is in being tolerant, in being happy with all the short-comings of the other and in the triumph of accepting the high-points in the relationship. She wanted to have all the positives of all four into one individual who existed no-where. Interestingly it's almost the same time that Kamalini also has a similar understanding of herself and her husband. She goes ahead and dumps her film-maker boyfriend who ironically was characterized quite comically as opposed to the husband for whom the audience could easily fall.
Like most of the commercial Bengali movies this one is almost asexual. There are the customary kissing scenes to tell that "we have grown up mummy", but when it comes down to a mature handling of the carnal desires, the film directors mostly become hesitant. Koushik Ganguly is no exception. Otherwise, why on earth, there is not even an implicit reference of the sexual preference of this urban, suave quad? Or for that matter Kamalika? Why isn't there a round to test the sexual / libidinal quotient of these four as perceived by Kamalika? Casual sex has mushroomed in the society and it's really unfortunate that entertainment media is still unsure about how to handle it.
Riddhima Ghosh as Kamalika is confused – her facial expressions seldom change thereby confusing the audience if she is happy or not with the performance of her lovers. The four young men are good with special mention to Tanaji as Laden who has the least luster but yet the maximum glow. Churni was gorgeous and carried her role as Kamalini, the actress with fervor and so did Riingo as her boyfriend. But the one person who literally carries the film on his shoulders is Sasawata Chatterjee as Kamalini's husband and psychiatrist Anu Ghatak. Though vividly exaggerated, his histrionics are mostly enjoyable for the excess.
Rang Milanti is a moderately enjoyable film. It could have been cut short quite a bit to bring in some speed to it. Considering Koushik's previous, enigmatic Arekti premer golpo (Just another love story, 2010) this can be passed on easily as a drab. The general cinema hall-visiting middle class has accepted the film quite well and it's doing quite a brisk business. Well, that counts, even if the queen fails to conquer a few hard-nosed hearts!

text: I know it is still a bit early, but I like to have an idea of what I buy family members for the holidays in advanced. My sister and her worthless boyfriend are both serious drug addicts. I have NO idea of what to get them, as anything will go towards their drug use. Cash is out. Gift certificates have a street value. They have no bills that I could pay for them. I can not get them anything that is pawnable. Clothing items can be taken back to the store. Last year they actually had an apartment of their own, so I bought them a vacum cleaner. They don't have it anymore. I guess pawn shops will take anything, if not a crackhead will, LOL. Anyone have any ideas?

After Leonard & Priya invited Howard & Bernadette to dinner, Amy & Bernadette devise a plan for Bernadette to act as a spy on Leonard & Priya and to also talk about all the awesome things Penny is doing now.
After the dinner begins, Penny is quickly swept up in the drama when Bernadette reports that Priya has made a comment about her acting career. Amy and Penny start texting false information for Bernadette to disseminate, like Penny just got a part in an Angelina Jolie movie and info on who Penny is dating now. Eventually Bernadette can't take the stress of keeping the lies going, cracks under the pressure and abruptly leaves the dinner early. Wolowitz points out it was still way less weird than spending a night with Amy and Sheldon.
While that dinner is going on, Koothrappali finds himself alone and sad and goes to Sheldon's to hang out. While they chat, he eventually reveals he has a new experimental beta blocker from the university's pharmaceutical school which could help him speak to women. In the spirit of science, Sheldon encourages him to take it. They eventually go to a coffee shop to test the results. Koothrappali strikes up a very smooth conversation with a cute girl, but the beta blocker is ultimately too effective and lowers his fears to a point where he gets completely naked in the coffee shop.

Community college students could complete their four-year university degree at two-year college prices under a recommendation approved today by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.
The council backed a proposal from the Virginia Community College System that would expand an existing grant program to cover the difference between two-year tuition with that of a public four-year school. Students transferring to a private, nonprofit school would receive an award equal to the average charge of public institutions.
SCHEV estimates the proposal will cost an additional $8.8 million in the 2015 fiscal year and $10 million the following year.
The proposal was included in budget recommendations for the 2014-16 biennium that total about $380.4 million in new spending from the state General Fund for higher education.

Browser Comparison
I've been using Safari since i got my mac. I used to use firefox on windows. I'm now deciding between firefox, safari, and camino. So far it seems that while camino looks better than firefox it seems much slower. I do like the look of safari the best...
What do you guys use/prefer or what is the best?
Opera is a very highly rated web browser.
A search function would help you a lot:
Best Browser
Browser bumping: What you use and why.
Read as: not another browser recommendation thread.
firefox for sure it works the best

I had a great time presenting at the Perth SharePoint User Group last Tuesday. I've uploaded my deck to my SkyDrive if you're interested.
The session talked about surfacing relevant information in the context in which it's needed. The example I gave is of a sales person who gets an email from a customer requesting an increase in the number of widgets in their current order from 1000 to 1500 units. Traditionally, this has meant that as the sales person I would have to do the following things
That sequence of events takes some time to achieve and, perhaps more importantly, requires a switch of context every time I switch systems (count 'em, there are 11 context switches in the 7 steps above!)
The promise of Office Business Applications (OBAs) is that this context switching will be significantly reduced or, potentially, eliminated completely. If, instead of the sequence above, I had the relevant information available as a part of the email then I could make and communicate my decision in the context of that email.
At the session there was a bloke sitting up the back who asked some very pertinent questions about what this session meant for the portal, and in particular for all that stuff we'd been saying about using SharePoint as the place people go to discover stuff, anything, they need to know about the organisation. Yesterday I got an email from that bloke, who turned out to be Jeremy Thake, pointing me to a great post he'd done after thinking more about the session and the questions he'd raised.
Jeremy's first concern seems to be that I positioned the Office Client tools as the place to get all the information you need, but for the past n years he's been hearing the message from Microsoft that SharepPoint is the the presentation layer for all of your back-end systems.
"Why not go to SharePoint for these things? Isn't that what the Business Intelligence Pillar of the SharePoint stack is for (Dashboards and Reporting Services, Excel Services Integration)?"
"Why not go to SharePoint for these things? Isn't that what the Business Intelligence Pillar of the SharePoint stack is for (Dashboards and Reporting Services, Excel Services Integration)?"
On the surface, he seems to have a point, but one of the key themes I was emphasising throughout the presentation was the ability of OBAs to surface contextual information that's applicable to the task or question at hand. I don't think this precludes the portal as an appropriate place to surface key business information, in fact there are a number of scenarios where it's eminently suitable. Of course, the portal's not just the presentation layer. It's also a set of services that can be consumed by the contextualised applications. It provides a repository for the information created by the use of client applications. It centralises the dissemination of information.
Jeremy's next concern is based on the premise that if we give users a richer experience than what they can get through a web page, they'll want to use it:
"My main concern is that by pushing the Information into Office applications, it will obviously look a lot more feature rich and perceivably be faster than any web page in SharePoint. I understand that Office development has been around a lot longer than I've been writing code, but this seems like a pretty aggressive marketing push based on the information out there"
"My main concern is that by pushing the Information into Office applications, it will obviously look a lot more feature rich and perceivably be faster than any web page in SharePoint. I understand that Office development has been around a lot longer than I've been writing code, but this seems like a pretty aggressive marketing push based on the information out there"
Well, yes, I guess that's true. We've always talked about the spectrum of reach to rich (by the way, I love the fact that Jeremy's linked to Erika's blog - I've been addicted to it for a while now). My concern is that if we only focus on the reach and exclude the rich then our users won't thank us. To be fair to Jeremy, that's not exactly what he's asked for. He wants us to spend more time making the portal richer. That's a laudable goal (and one towards which we're constantly striving), but the fact remains that the rich client experience will always beat the web experience. With the constant improvement in the client platform, with integration with the video game quality graphics engine, the search, the RSS feed store, the networking awareness, the improvements to the Office UI and more, we'd be doing our users a grave disservice not to take advantage of it.
Next, Jeremy raises the question of Office Development (although I think he mainly means deployment). He comments on the model of apps being available offline and somehow makes this sound like a bad thing. I do understand that some people want complete control over the environment at all times, but that doesn't help our users be productive wherever they are. Jeremy also says is that the ClickOnce deployment model relies on users being online. That's not completely true. It relies on users being occasionally online. This model is generally more than adequate. If there's a component of your app that relies on the cloud for critical functionality, then disable it while the user's not connected, but let them get on with the rest of their work without being tied to the cloud (that's a beautiful image isn't it?)
Jeremy then asks "Where does SharePoint fit?". I don't think anything's changed. SharePoint is a great aggregator, portal and source of services. You surface the information it provides in the client that's applicable to the task at hand. If the task is responding to an email, then surfacing that information in that email is probably the most appropriate and efficient technique. In other situations, surfacing it in a Sidebar Gadget or on a web page or as an SMS message might be more appropriate. You use the right tool for the job.
Speaking of tools, Jeremy also had a concern about this diagram.
He seems to have inferred that because the word SharePoint is not listed in the "Professional Developers" sector of the diagram, that SharePoint doesn't feature in the professional Office developers' toolkit. That's not the case. Visual Studio is a great tool for deep SharePoint development work. For example, there are two new project types in VS2008 that deal specifically with SharePoint workflow.
So, I apologise if I gave the impression that "Office Development is far more superior to SharePoint Development", that was not my intention at all. My intention was to highlight some of the ways you can use the Office Client tools to make use of the great information aggregated and presented by SharePoint and your other LOB applications.
Finally, Jeremy quotes Steve Balmer "[Sharepoint] is the missing link between personal productivity and Line of Business Applications" and asks where that leaves Office. My take on this is that it makes Office (client) the personal productivity bit and Office (server - including SharePoint) the missing link.
PingBack from http://www.basketballs-sports.info/better-basketball/?p=1027
Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I can see where you're coming from with the Developer slide now. It was just slightly misleading in context of the talk where you were talking about Office and then only seeing that in the Professional Development.
I spend most of my days wen developing for SharePoint using STSDEV and SharePoint to build solutions!
I look forward to getting more into the Rich Client development of the Office Suite shortly and will be sure to let you know what we come up with because we'll have plenty of opportunities at my current engagement.
Thanks again,

So my husband and I went to DCA to see the much talked about Muppet Mobile Lab! Actually we meant to make it to the meet but we didn't give ourselves enough time to get there because it took a half hour just go get into the parking lot at 11:45. yes we were running late.
But my second goal was to see Beaker and Honeydew. I am putting the video onto google video right now and it's taking forever, but here are some pics!
Yes they are adorable!!!
I love you Beaker!!!
As you can see, they are drawing in the crowds! This is a much bigger crowd than on Friday!
The Muppet Mobile Lab goes behind the scenes to rest--This one sums up the day, big crowds and cheerleaders!
One comment: it was quite sad, I overheard 2 or 3 kids at different times asking your parents, "Who are they?" AWWww My kids will definitely know who the Muppets are!

Prague - Power is the only thing Russians can understand, former Czech defence minister Alexandr Vondra told today´s issue of weekly Reflex, adding that NATO should have big military contingents in the Baltic states, Poland and Romania.
Ilustrační foto - Bývalý ministr obrany Alexandr Vondra (na snímku) se 12. března v Praze zúčastnil národní konference 15 let Česka v NATO - naše bezpečnost není samozřejmost. ČTK Šulová Kateřina
"I would welcome if the West applied the politics of power more. It should guarantee the security of the countries that feel threatened by the crisis in Ukraine, that is Poland, Romania and especially the Baltic states," he said.
Vondra, 53, was a dissident opposing the communist regime in the 1980s. He was Czech ambassador to Washington (1997-2001), EU affairs minister (2007-2009) and defence minister (2010-2012). He heads the Prague Centre for Transatlantic Relations think tank and lectures on international and security relations at two Czech universities. He is a member of the right-wing Civic Democratic Party (ODS).
Reflex notes that, according to the Wikileaks server, U.S. diplomats labelled Vondra the greatest U.S. ally on the Czech political scene.
Vondra said he thinks Europe is not moving towards a conflict that would turn into a big war.
"The present West does not have enough determination for it (war), its societies are overaged. However, we are facing a hard time of instabilities and protracted conflicts. And if the West does not find the resolve to be more active, a series of local conflicts on the periphery of Europe can cause a lot of damage," Vondra said.
He pointed out that Europe cannot rely on the United States as the American society does not want its country to be strongly involved in the world anymore, due to the economic crisis and fatigue from hyperactivity in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Vondra said U.S. President Barack Obama would probably prefer moderate isolationism and primarily focus on domestic affairs if his Democrats lose the Congress election later this year.
He said he believes Russia is not planning a military intervention in Ukraine because President Vladimir Putin knows well that the economic costs would be enormous.
"Putin simply wanted to take Crimea. This has greatly increased his popularity," Vondra told the weekly.
He said Putin expects the negotiations on Russian gas deliveries to Ukraine to become tense in winter again and lead to further instability.
According to Vondra, European sanctions against Russia would not help much. The EU should focus on economic support to Ukraine, he said.
"The vital interest of the Czech Republic is that Ukraine remains an undivided, sovereign country. Its disintegration would be accompanied by even worse conflicts. And it would mean that Russia would get closer to our borders," Vondra said.
He said he is surprised that many Czech people side with Russia and that they cannot decipher the Russian propaganda which often seemed as large-scale as that of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
Vondra said Western Europe and even the United States underestimated Russia because they considered it weak.
He said the German switchover from nuclear power to renewable resources after the Fukushima disaster seems irrational and hysterical to him. He indicated that this tendency makes Europe more dependent on Russian gas and oil.
Vondra said a part of the current European right wing unfortunately admired Russia.
"Putin is aware of it and he presents himself as the defender of traditional values," he said.
Vondra said there is no liberal-conservative right wing in Europe that would defend the traditional values and appeal to high numbers of people.
Either the right-wing leaders started promoting the rainbow-green agenda like British Prime Minister David Cameron or they looked up to Russia like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, he added.
Unless somebody else appears, the West in not going to wake up, Vondra said.
He said the Czech foreign policy forming after the fall of the communist regime in 1989 was a table standing on three legs - the Atlantic, European and neighbourly, with Germany and Poland being the key neighbours.
"The constellation was extremely good then - strong United States, weak Russia, developing Europe, self-confident Poland, moderate Germany," Vondra said.
He said the situation is far more difficult now because the USA and the EU are burdened by their own problems, which results in their outward weakness.

2 (14.5 ounce) cans
DEL MONTE® Petite Diced Tomatoes with Chipotle Chilies or DEL MONTE® Petite Diced Tomatoes with Zesty Jalapenos
1 pound
extra lean ground beef
1 (16 ounce) can
fat-free refried beans
1 tablespoon
chili powder
1 (15.25 ounce) can
DEL MONTE® Whole Kernel Corn, No Salt Added, well drained
6 ounces
shredded low-fat Mexican cheese blend (or half mozzarella and half reduced fat Cheddar cheese)
Tortilla chips
Chopped cilantro or green onions
Sour cream
This was tasty, but a little too wet even with draining the one can of tomatoes. Rotels were a great enhancement and I believe the sour cream and green onions were a perfect topping.
A little disappointed. There is too much liquid from the can of tomatoes, additionally the ground beef needs to be seasoned with a little salt and pepper. Perhaps one more can of beans and no liquid from the can of tomatoes should make this perfect.
9 Ratings
I liked this dip. I made it to bring it to a potluck and wanted to be able to have it sit in a crock pot for a few hours, so I just mixed all the ingredients together including the cheese and then added additional cheese on top. The only change I made was only using 1 Can And a Half of the tomatoes with jalapeños.

MACON, Ga. — The East Tennessee State basketball team gathered steam with three wins the last week of the regular season, and it ended up with a little extra incentive for the playoffs.
By landing as the No. 4 seed in the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament bracket, the Bucs are paired against North Florida in a quarterfinal today at University Center on the Mercer campus. That's a team they've beaten twice already this season, but one that shocked them in the semifinals on the same floor a year ago.
Memories of that 59-55 loss, as a 2-seed and the defending champs, have lingered in the minds of many of the ETSU players. Senior forward Isiah Brown calls it "still a tough pill to swallow."
"We've haven't forgotten," said Brown, "but it's a new year and you gotta go out and play. This is win or go home. If we can send them home this year, that's fine with us."
ETSU coach Murry Bartow has pointed all season to "the three days in Macon," especially as the losses mounted. The A-Sun is, after all, a one-bid league. Only the team left standing on Saturday will go to the NCAA tournament.
Bartow was in good spirits Wednesday before the Bucs jumped on a bus for the 300-mile drive here.
"I feel really good going into this thing," he said. "The mind is clear and the energy is great. The last three games, to win them all and almost never trail, we played very well. Ever since the Belmont loss in Nashville, we've been about as good as we can be."
While the Bucs cruised down the stretch, their three wins were against lower-tier teams in the conference. If they get past the Ospreys today, they'll face Belmont, the defending champion, top seed and only team in the field to sweep them this season.
The Bruins defeated Jacksonville in the quarterfinals on Wednesday, 76-62.
"If that's the way things play out, so be it," said Adam Sollazzo, ETSU all-conference point guard. "You've got to win three games, and to be the best, you're probably going to have to beat the best."
The Bucs, of course, have to win one game first. And that comes against a North Florida team they defeated 64-63 in Jacksonville in mid-January on a free throw by Sollazzo with two seconds left, and 65-50 in Johnson City three weeks ago. Brown scored a career-high 27 points in that one, and the Bucs ran away with a 19-0 second-half run.
Both teams finished the regular season 10-8 in the conference.
The Ospreys are at their best when guards Parker Smith and Jerron Granberry are getting good looks from the perimeter. Smith, a rail-thin 6-3 junior, leads the league with 91 3-pointers, while Granberry is tied for fifth, with 74.
As a team, the Bucs made just 120 — the lowest in the league by far.
"Any matchup makes me nervous," said Bartow. "We've beaten North Florida twice, but the game down there went right to the wire. They have two of the best shooters in the league with Smith and Granberry, and then (Andy) Diaz and (Travis) Wallace are pretty good inside."
Sollazzo, meanwhile, is trying to finish his ETSU career with a flourish.
He's the No. 3 scorer (15.0) and assist man (4.4) in the A-Sun, and is fourth in steals (1.7). After being named to the all-conference first team on Monday, he was recognized as the top scholar-athlete for basketball a day later.
"It shows I've been working hard all my life," said Sollazzo. "I also give a lot of credit to my teammates and coaches; the awards are a reflection of our team. The one I'm most proud of is the scholar-athlete. My parents have always stressed that school comes first, and I know my mom is really proud."
As far as his team drawing strength this week from past experience, Sollazzo says he's been thinking about two years ago, when the Bucs made a championship run as the 5-seed.
"The core guys who are on the court now were part of that team," he said. "We remember we had a lot of ups and downs that season. We got some momentum going at the end and carried it through the tournament.
"We can do that again."
Bartow sees the Bucs as a darkhorse candidate for the title. The team was picked second, behind Belmont, in the preseason.
"It's very doable, whatever seed we are," he said. "If you're No. 1, you're that for a reason and I don't want to discount that. Belmont is the best team going into the tournament. And Mercer is right there, playing on its home floor. After that, I'm not sure it matters whether you're 3, 4, 5 or 6.
"We've won it two of the last three years, so I think we'll play with confidence."
Notes: It looks like Sheldon Cooley's junior season is all but officially over.
The Bucs' starting shooting guard and steals leader has missed the last two games after being suspended for filing a false police report in the wake of a robbery at his apartment a week ago.
"He's suspended indefinitely until further notice," Bartow said Wednesday. …
The loss to North Florida here last March is ETSU's only setback in the series. The teams have played 14 times. …
Brown remains on the brink of tying the school record for blocked shots. He needs one to match Zakee Wadood's total of 182; he's been shut out the last two games.

Pretty Little Liars
Spoiler: Lucy Hale Reveals "Big Step" for Ezria Ahead
The seemingly never-ending saga of Ezria's big secret is going to get a brand new audience on the second half of Pretty Little Liars' Season 2. Last week we told you about Aria (Lucy Hale) possibly kissing someone besides Ezra (Ian Harding), but according to a recent interview with Lucy, that won't interrupt their plans to finally tell Ella (Holly Marie Combs) and Byron Montgomery (Chad Lowe) about their relationship.
As Lucy tells HollywoodLife, "Throughout the course of the show, their relationship has been sort of a roller coaster, and it's going to be like that for a while," Lucy admitted. "But I can say they're going to take a huge step and tell her parents."
While we're thrilled to hear that Ella will finally stop pressing the Spencer/Ezra issue, we already saw on Season 2, Episode 12: "Over My Dead Body" how Mrs. Montgomery feels about Mr. Fitz having a relationship with a former student. Maybe Byron's fondness for Ezra will balance out the conflicting opinions?
And how will Aria's little brother Mike (Cody Christian) handle the news? We saw a sneak peek of Mike punching someone hard in the Season 2B promo — could it have been Ian Harding's beautiful mug? We might be making our own Team Ezria t-shirts in the near future with all this drama!

Hello, my name is Frederick J. (Fred) Vazquez and I am contemplating running for South Carolina's seat in the United States Senate currently held hostage by Lindsey Olin Graham. Up until 16 years ago I was an ardent Republican. Based on the Republican's strong conservative values, America was strong militarily, financially and morally. We were respected by all the world; by allies because of our dedication and by enemies because of their fear of our abilities and our resolve. I left the Republican Party and am now an Independent because there came a time when I did not believe there was enough difference between the Democrats and Republicans to make either one a party I was comfortable being affiliated with. I am an Independent Conservative because people like John McCain, Charlie Crist and the late Arlen Specter had diluted, polluted and bastardized the Republican Party. The Democrats and the Republicans have morphed into two heads on one snake.
At a time many years ago Lindsey Olin Graham (hereafter referred to as "The LOG") seemed like a good, Conservative Republican. He appeared to stand for what was right. He appeared to stand for what true conservative Americans stood for. That changed and I had to ask myself, "Why?"
The answer came in short order after listening to "the LOG's" speeches, looking at his voting record and comparing those actions to who was president at the time he was making those speeches, casting those votes, etc. I realized there was a strong corollary between who was president at the time and how "the LOG" voted. As you study "the LOG" you realize that he was "Red" when a Republican (George W. Bush) was in office but has been "blue" since the election of Barack H. Obama, but not blue like the rest of us have been.
"The LOG" has explained that he was supporting Pro-Abortion, Anti-2nd Amendment racist Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court because "President Obama won the election and that has consequences. Since he won the election, I defer to his nomination for Supreme Court Justice." "The LOG" fails to realize that the people of South Carolina voted against Barack Obama and do not wish to "defer" to him.
He went on to say that confirming Sotomayor, who had 9 out of 10 decisions reversed by the very court she was looking to sit on would not change the ideology of the Supreme Court because it was replacing one liberal justice with another. He failed to realize that he represents a conservative state with conservative values who expect him to represent us conservatively. That includes opposing liberal nominees and liberal policies like Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, amnesty for illegals and bogus cap and trade bills, which hurt his constituents.
During the confirmations of Ultra-Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in July 2009, "The LOG" had this to say to her: "I like you, by the way, for whatever that matters. Since I may vote for you that ought to matter to you. One thing that stood out about your record is that when you look at the 'Almanac of the Federal Judiciary' lawyers anonymously rate judges in terms of temperament. And here's what they said about you: 'She's a terror on the bench. She's temperamental and excitable. She seems angry. She's overly aggressive, not very judicial. She does not have a very good temperament. She abuses lawyers. She really lacks judicial temperament. She believes in an out of control -- she behaves in an out of control manner. She makes inappropriate outbursts. She's nasty to lawyers. She'll attack lawyers for making an argument she does not like. She can be a bit of a bully.'"
Yet, he went on to not only give her glowing reviews, but to indeed vote to confirm her to a lifetime position on the highest court in the Land. Why would he do things to hurt his constituents? It is because he does not consider us his constituents. In fact, "The LOG" feels there is no place for politicians who represent only a segment of a society, say, one state. He wants us to be one great big happy Moderate Party family.
I cannot disagree more.
Mick Mulvaney, who ran as a "Conservative Republican" in 2010 has voted to extent the anti-American citizen "PATRIOT ACT", which has absolutely NOTHING to do with patriotism or protecting Americans and he has voted to actually finance Alaska's "Bridge to Nowhere." Yet, he claimed during his campaign that he was going to do things differently in Washington, D.C.
Jim Clyburn has spent his entire career getting rich on the enslavement of his constituents. He promises big government money to his poorer people, not telling them that the funds they get in their mailbox the first of each month is a leash to keep them down and under control, rather than a way for them to better themselves. He makes it perfectly clear that they are not smart enough, not good enough and certainly not trustworthy enough to make their own way or to make their own decisions without total government control.
I am a Conservative, along the lines of Ronald Reagan. I am proud to be an Independent Evangelical minister. I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, since without the Second Amendment the other amendments would mean little to nothing. I am pro-America and pro-American. I support the return of all people who are in this country illegally to their nations of origin. I oppose all amnesty programs, although I believe if a foreign national is willing to invest six years serving in the United States military they should have priority status in becoming an American citizen. I believe English should be the official and only language of the United States government's use, like it was in the days when America was stronger.
I support shrinking the size of government, all levels of government by 5% per year until they are a manageable size. There is no reason the number of government workers in the United States should be larger than the number of factory workers here. I reject the philosophy that we as individuals are too inept to run our day to day lives without government intrusion. I reject the government's position that they must protect us from ourselves. God gave us common sense for that purpose, but the government has made it their goal to rid us of that common sense so that we will fall dependent upon them, thereby becoming enslaved to the government monstrosity. It has cost us $16 trillion in borrowed money to be placed in that position by our government.
I oppose NAFTA, CAFTA and all treaties that encourage the removal of jobs from American soil. I support a 50% tariff on all American and foreign products manufactured overseas if those goods can be manufactured within the United States. I support the withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations and I invite the UN to remove themselves from our soil. I support ending the income tax system and replacing it with a national sales tax of 15% for individuals and corporations alike. I oppose abortion under all circumstances because either our God made all life or He makes no life. God gives life and it is up to God to decide who lives. I oppose recognition of all "special" groups and the extension of special rights to them. This includes but is not limited to groups who self-identify by race, religion (atheism is itself a religion), gender, sexual preference or national origin. I support private individuals and private enterprises endeavoring to find better types of energy without government financing or tax credits and I support them keeping any profits enjoyed by the success of their ventures.
I do not believe in voting for bills I have not read completely and I promise I will abstain from voting on any bill which addresses more than one issue or is rushed through Congress. Would you want me to vote for a bill that involves both gun rights and gay marriage or would you rather see the two subjects addressed individually? Today, bills are allowed to have any number of unrelated subjects in them, as this is how both heads get the snake what it wants. This is how the government currently does business and it is unacceptable. The American citizenry should not and cannot be lied to, bullied or taken advantage of any longer. I support drug testing of all federal employees, including the president, vice-president and members of both houses of Congress.
I strongly support term limits and would spend no more than two terms (12 years) in Washington, D.C. If a person cannot make a positive change in 12 years or less, they do not need to be holding the job. After 12 years one is no longer serving Congress, but is infesting it instead. Please remember, my earnest promise is to maximize my stay in Washington, D.C. to two terms, if I decide to run. This is not negotiable. You will not have to vote me out or drag me away from Washington, D.C.
I do not believe someone should spend millions of dollars to earn a job that pays an annual salary of $174,000.00. I also do not believe members of Congress should have better health benefits than the average American citizen. These are among the issues I wish to address as your Congressman, if I decide to run. The pay and the benefits offered to members of Congress have got to be reduced. I desire to reduce their pay to $150,000.00. I would make this my pet project. I would let the public know who opposes personal responsibility in government by naming every member of both houses of Congress who opposed the changes I sponsor with regard to congressional pay.
I am in need of your support. I need to know if people are ready for a change in government. Our nation was first governed by average "every day" citizens who had a desire to see their fledgling nation succeed. They contributed their part and went back to their "every day" lives. There were no career politicians as we have today. I want to go back to the days when special interests and greedy career politicians did not run our country; the American citizens did. If you would like more information about me or you would like to give me your input on whether I should run on behalf of the constituents of the great State of South Carolina, please feel free to contact me by using the "CONTACT ME" button above or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. All questions will be answered in as quick a manner as possible.
I also need campaign funds to run a successful campaign for Congress. Please send financial contributions to Frederick Vazquez for Congress 2013-P.O. Box 726 Lydia, SC 29079 or here online by clicking on the "CONTRIBUTE " button above.
For another option in helping my campaign, please go to the "Cafe Press Shop". Browse through the apparel for sale. 10% of all purchases will go to help finance my exploratory committee. Plus, you will have a chance to show people how you feel; get the conservative messages out.
It is time to get the snake out of Washington, D.C., regardless of which head they belong to. We can start by removing the LOG jam that is currently taking up the space needed by an efficient and dedicated senator.


text: "This is an interesting comparison, because like the 2011 Cubs, the Mets had a bloated payroll and 91 losses to show for it. But their two big contracts, Mo Vaughn ($17.1 milllion) and Mike Piazza ($16 million) were gone by 2006, replaced by big free agents Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez, and the trade acquisition of Carlos Delgado (a salary dump by the Marlins). But the big key was two young players who debuted halfway through 2004: David Wright and Jose Reyes. The Cubs may have their Reyes in Starlin Castro, but they don't have their Wright."So what do you think? Do you agree with Schoenfield? If you agree do you think there will also be a Cubs version of a Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez signing say for example Prince Fielder & CJ Wilson?

How old is the actress eden taylor draper who plays belle on emmerdale?
Eden Taylor-Draper, the young actress who has played Belle Dingle on Emmerdale since 2005, was born in Selby, Yorkshire, on 27th October 1997, so she will turn 16 years old in 2013. Her full name is Eden Elenor Taylor-Draper (Belle's is Tinkerbelle Lisa Dingle).
The actress has won or been nominated for several British Soap Awards, and was twice nominated in the young actors' category of the Inside Soap awards for her portrayal of Belle. In the British Soap Awards, she won in 2007 for Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress, and won for Spectacular Scene of the Year in 2006 for the mine shaft scene, sharing that award with co-star Luke Tittensor (Daz Eden) and Emmerdale crew members Brian Morgan and Neil Alderton. She was also nominated for Best Young Performance in 2011 and 2012, and again for the same young actor Best Dramatic Performance award in 2008.
Belle's rebellious streak has been getting her in loads of hot water with her parents this week, first having skipped school only to get caught canoodling on the couch with her boyfriend Luke (who, to make things even worse, summarily dumped her) by mum Lisa. Then there was that oh-so-terribly humiliating event of being marched off to the doctor's by Lisa to discuss contraception - yikes! Lisa and Zak were somewhat relieved in any case when Belle admitted to them that she's still a virgin.
Watch the scene with Belle and Lisa Dingle at the doctor's in the video below:

Ravens: Defensive report card
Pass rush makes biggest difference vs. Browns
Defense may need to carry team
Browns shut down by Smith, Jones
Browns fold after missed connection
Flacco's wife gives birth before game
The defense carried the day in Sunday's 14-6 win over the Browns. Here's a brief report card on their efforts plus those of the special teams.
Defensive line: B. They made a lot of good plays and controlled the Cleveland offense. The Browns really made just one big play all day long. The Ravens rotated in a whole bunch of guys, and the Browns just couldn't find the answer overall. Arthur Jones had a sack in his first game back.
Linebackers: A. These guys really made a difference. Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs got lots of pressure on quarterback Brandon Weeden all day long, the kind of thing that this defense really missed last year. Daryl Smith had a solid game in many ways, and Josh Bynes did the same.The Browns aren't one of the NFL's top teams, but this was a very good effort.
Secondary: C. Still work to do here. Matt Elam got burned right off the bat, and the Browns had plenty of guys wide open during the game but Weeden either didn't have the time to find them or simply couldn't. The Browns moved the ball through the air a little too easily at times and if Weeden wasn't running for his life time and time again, he could've completed some big passes.
Special Teams: B-. Sam Koch punted very well, often pinning the Browns into bad spots and not giving up much in returns. He really blasted a few kicks. But Justin Tucker missed two field goals after missing just three all of last year. He was talking about having a perfect season during the off-season. Now, he's got to come back and be his old self after this. That's what the Ravens need. Tandon Doss made some nice returns to help the offense. Can he do it again?
