This time without glass, but cropped a lot as they were a long ways away as you can see from the uncropped/cropped comparison. First two aren't exactly the same shot but sequential. Last one is cropped a little, third one a bit more. Magpies are VERY skittish and wouldn't let me get any closer.

I have a few html files. The links on these files are mixed of upper case and lower case whereas the name of the file are all in lowercase.
I want to make the text inside href=".." lowercase whatever case they are now. Can anyone help me with this?
The number of file is over 4000. I would to love to do it from command line. I have used fart to replace text. FART is quite good for that. Is it possible to use any preg_match to make it work? Thanks in advance.

The U.S. government stands alone among major world governments in refusing to recognize the results of the recent Venezuelan presidential election
In the current crisis on the Korean peninsula, the Obama administration is virtually repeating the 2004 Bush playbook.
The slaughter in the DRC is intricately linked to electronic components carried by millions of people in the United States and Europe.
The Israel lobby is responsible for its fair share of catastrophes--but the Iraq war is not among them.
What scared Washington most about Chavez was not his failures or idiosyncrasies. It was his success.
Comparing Hugo Chavez's accomplishments to his U.S. obits was like taking a trip through Alice's looking glass.
The road to peace in Korea runs through Washington, but women must steward it along the way.
Hugo Chavez put an end to the reign of neoliberal IMF policies that had impoverished the masses of Latin America.
After years of brutal austerity, collapsing economies, widespread unemployment, and shredding of the social safety net, Italians said "basta!" Enough!
Make no mistake: the Obama administration's "pivot to Asia" is all about containing China.

|EVERLITE HYBRID INDUSTRIES, LLC Patent applications
|Patent application number
|HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE FOR COGENERATION SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHOD OF USE - The invention is directed to a heat exchange module to help employ usable heat to pre-warm a water supply prior to entry into a tankless water heater. The module comprises an insulated housing having an inner shell having a top end, bottom end and cylindrical middle portion. A first intake attaches to the insulated housing which introduces cooling water from the cogeneration system, while a second intake feeds the water supply coils (positioned within the insulated housing) to effectuate heat exchange with the cooling water. After heat exchange, a first outlet removes cooling water for return to the cogeneration system, while a second outlet removes the water supply from the cooling coils. Upon removal, this water supply may be fed into a tankless water heater. A controller connected to both outlets and inlets optimizes efficient exchange of energy through timing introduction and removal of the water supply from the module.

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera Preview
The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera csis a better car in every way than its predecessors
Porsche 911 Carrera -- 2005 Preview: When the current Porsche 911, known to purists as the 996, debuted six years ago, styling was an issue. Replacing the beloved 993, itself a direct descendant of the original 911 that bowed in 1963, was no easy task, and virtually any new model was certain to undergo close scrutiny from devotees of the quintessential German sports car. But Porsche inexplicably placed the entire front clip from the significantly less expensive Boxster roadster onto its new 911 and called it a day, instantly reducing the car's exclusivity and desirability.
This did not sit well with critics or owners of the brand. Now, six years after the 996 arrived, the redesigned 997 debuts and rights that wrong, while improving the car across the board. For 2005, the new Porsche 911 will be initially available as a Carrera and a Carrera S in coupe format only. In keeping with Porsche tradition, the Carrera S is the higher performance model.
Also in keeping with Porsche tradition, the 3,075-pound 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a rear-mounted, water-cooled, aluminum 3.6-liter flat six engine generating 325 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 273 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm on premium unleaded fuel. This is a modest increase of ten horsepower over the 2004 model, good for 0-60 mph acceleration in 4.8 seconds, according to Porsche. Additionally, the motor is 15-percent less polluting than before thanks to a revised emissions and exhaust system.

Page 2 of 6
The 3,131-pound 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera S gets a similarly configured 3.8-liter flat six engine making 355 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Not only is the displacement greater, but also the intake manifold and intake camshaft lift pattern have been modified. The Carrera S also gets a higher performance cooling pump and an oil/water heat exchanger with two additional cooling layers. Porsche says that acceleration from 0-60 mph takes 4.6 seconds.
A new six-speed manual transmission is standard on both models. Steel synchronizing rings (carbon-coated in first, second and third gears) help manage the engine power increases and ensure top performance, making the first two forward gears triple rather than double synchronized. From the driver's seat, the result is reduced shifting force and shorter travel between gears. Standard 911 Carrera models have a single-disc dry clutch while the 911 Carrera S gets a new self-adjusting clutch.
Optional is a manually interactive, five-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission. The driver can change gears using switches on the steering wheel or the shift lever between the seats. Software updates help Tiptronic to better mimic the way enthusiast drivers use the accelerator, brake and clutch in cars with a manual gearshift. Additionally, when the standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system is shut off and the transmission selector is in manual shift mode, Tiptronic no longer upshifts at redline like before. The transmission has also been upgraded to hold gears longer, shift smoother, improve cooling, and require less maintenance.

What's New
Porsche Stability Management has been upgraded for faster reaction times. Also, when the driver shuts PSM down, it no longer reactivates as soon as the brake pedal is depressed. Now, the driver must exceed the threshold at which the ABS will engage before PSM steps in to save the inexperienced.
For the first time, 18-inch wheels are standard on the Porsche 911 Carrera, shod with 235/40 tires in front and 265/40 rubber in the rear. There is no spare tire: instead an on-board air compressor and tire sealant allow the driver to limp the 911 to the nearest service area at speeds up to 50 mph. Brakes are cross-drilled and inner-vented all around, measuring 12.5 inches in front and 11.8 inches in back, and calibrated to provide quicker response than the 2004 model. A new variable rack-and-pinion steering system quickens the steering ratio the further off center the steering wheel is spun for better low-speed maneuverability.
In addition to more engine power, spending extra for the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S adds Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), upgraded brakes with red-painted calipers, bigger wheels and tires, bi-Xenon headlights, a multi-function steering wheel, simulated aluminum interior trim, and a silver decklid logo. Carrera S models also have round dual exhaust outlets rather than the ovals on the base car. Inside, the gauges have aluminum, rather than black, faces, and the engine cover is painted silver.

Performance upgrades for the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S include 19-inch wheels with 235/35 tires in front and 295/30 treads in back. The brakes are 13 inches all around, with larger brake pads. Optional on both 2005 911 Carrera models are Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), previously only offered on the 911 Turbo. Benefits include a 50-percent reduction in unsprung weight, less wear for brake pads, and more consistent braking performance.
Porsche Active Suspension Management uses active damping to provide a more civilized ride for daily driving and optimum handling response when the road turns twisty. Normal and Sport models are available, and in Sport mode the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera circles the famed Nurburgring race course five seconds faster than the standard MacPherson strut front and five-arm independent rear suspension setup on 911s without PASM.
With PASM, the shock absorbers continually adjust to road and driving conditions, while accelerometers measure vertical body motions. In tandem with sensors that monitor steering angle, road speed, brake pressure and engine torque, PASM is able to adjust the suspension according to road and driving conditions. Furthermore, the system has five special software settings for lane change, vertical control, lateral acceleration, braking, and load changes to accommodate the most frequently experienced ride and handling situations.
Not only is the new 911 more powerful and a better performer; it looks the part. Porsche has widened the 2005 911 Carrera's track by nearly an inch while retaining last year's wheelbase and tapering the body in the middle. The new 911 Carrera is also taller top to bottom, wider fender to fender, and shorter stem to stern, and slices through the atmosphere with more grace than before. With the return of traditional round headlamps and a more curvaceous body, Porsche provides its flagship sports car with a more traditional appearance that enthusiasts are likely to embrace.

For 802.1x to work, the Apple tv needs to have the clock updated before it can validate any Certificates. Unfortunately, the Apple TV does not keep the time and requires internet services to update it's clock. To test if you configured your profile correctly, you can plug in an ethernet cable, update the clock, then disconnect the ethernet cable and verify if your wifi 802.1x takes over.

Remember I can't tell which bridge you used but not all work well for the Samsung Smart TVs.
As to the uninstall discussion, folk are a little touchy about how apps in Cell Phones and now Smart TVs are locked down, welded into place.
-> And before we go one more step, it nice to know the other things work on the bridge but it doesn't mean the Smart TVs will.
I have a new Samsung 50ES6900 from Best Buy. I have having problems in my Smart Hub. First, the WiFi Connection does not work, but I got around this by using a wireless bridge. Second, and more importantly, I cannot get the Netflix App to connect. Pandora will "see" my radio stations, but will then freeze and tell me there is a problem with my network and I cannot load videos in the Fitness App Center.
I have rebooted the router, bridge and modem several times and have restarted and updated the Smart Hub. I have the latest firmware downloaded to the TV. I will also say that I have no problems with streaming videos to my xbox that is also connected to the bridge or to my Vizio Blu ray player, which is in another room.
Can anyone help? It seems logical that I should be able to uninstall and reinstall those apps in the smart hub, but the "uninstall" button is grayed out in the App center.
Any help would be appreciated.

I took this job last January, when my previous employer was shutting down after working there 9 years. I took it bc it was a decent offer, and I was too concerned about just having a job rather than not having one.
One month later my mom died. Had I not jumped at my current job so quickly, I can guarantee I would not have accepted it after my mom passed away. I would have been more- "life is too short for a job you hate."
So here I am a year later, don't like my job, feel a lot of pressure to make the same amount of money, have a supportive husband saying - it's okay of we are semi-broke for a while, i want to show my kids that you should be proud of what you do, again want to provide for them like i always have, etc. blah blah blah.
I'm terrified of changing things. I would like to be (and actually have my whole life) a fitness trainer. But doing that now at almost 34 years old, would be a mighty leap of faith. I have no idea what to do, but I don't think I can keep on this way, it's starting to affect my mood at home.

Posing as the airline pilot of the flight he was kicked off of, Alec Baldwin apologized to himself on "Saturday Night Live."
The actor appeared on the sketch program's "Weekend Update" on Saturday night to lampoon Tuesday's incident, in which he was kicked of an American Airlines flight for refusing to stop playing a mobile phone game before takeoff.
As a Southern, mustachioed airline pilot, Baldwin issued an apology for the incident. The joke, though, was how obvious the ploy was.
The actor referred to himself as an "American treasure" who was playing "a word game for smart people."
"Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers repeatedly questioned the thinly veiled performance, asking Baldwin, "Are you sure this is the right way to handle this?"

Obama had "no knowledge" his aunt was in US illegally
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I agree completely with David Axelrod, this smacks of a desperate last minute bombshell by the Republican party that they sat on for months to bring out as a trump card with 3 days to go in case things weren't going their way. I also find myself asking 'So what, is Obama supposed to police and scrutinise every member of his extended family now?'
If that's the most damning thing they've got on Obama after all these months, they're definately scraping the bottom of the barrel in the McCain camp.
All this business about Obama's aunt is sad. I have compassion for the old gal. She is now suffering humiliation and the blistering light of our mainstream media. This is wrongful.
Yes, she should have worked on becoming a legal immigrant, but this is difficult. She probably could have become an American citizen had she worked hard at this. I do not know much about our immigration laws, doubtful many of you readers know much about this topic. Correct my thinking on this if I am wrong. I invite this.
My understanding is this old gal could become a citizen if she has a sponsor. This is, if an American or an American family document they will take her in, take care of her and take all those steps needed to find her employment, income, a place to live, all that, under circumstances like this, I "think" she could become an American citizen.
I do not know for sure. Again, I am very ignorant of immigration laws. Maybe a reader can clarify and add to this issue.
There is a cultural perspective worthy of mention. Our traditional peoples, we American Indians, are well known for taking in others in need, those of our bloodline. Not all of us do, but a majority of us do. This is especially true up in the Lakotas where our peoples are the most impoverished peoples of our nation. Not uncommon at all for ten, twenty or more people to be living under one roof. Sioux, Cheyenne, Crow, other tribes in the Lakota region, are well known for taking in those in need, no matter how distant the blood relationship.
This prompts me to wonder why Obama has not offered to take in his aunt, has not offered to sponsor her or employ some other method of helping her earn citizenship. I am sure there is something Obama can do, some law, some loophole, something he can do to help her.
Why has Obama not taken steps to help his aunt? He has certainly enjoyed plenty of time. Heck, years back he could have secretly whisked her away, made arrangements for her care. I tend to think not many would criticize Obama for an act of compassion, especially with her being old and at a disadvantage in our country. I do not know, maybe he would be critiqued. Personally, I would not fault Obama for helping his aunt in need; I would turn a blind eye.
Suppose this a cultural difference. Our peoples, if a distant relative, would have taken her in, right off. Not only taken her in, we would have also hidden her from authorities.
I suppose Obama is not willing to take a risk in the name of family compassion. Appears Obama is calling for his aunt to be deported back to Kenya. Odds are high, she will die back in Kenya.
I suppose her life is not as important as the presidency, to Obama.
Okpulot Taha
Choctaw Nation
Purl Gurl….as a blood relative, Obama could have sponsored her, so this is nothing more than a desperate attempt to smear Obama before once more right before the election. Typical conservative m.o. Their campaign has been the worst ever, virtually every negative ad has been refuted and debunked. Losers always resort to negativity, foul language, smears and innuendo when they have nothing left to defend themselves. Its done nothing more than lose McCain any chance of being elected, although the airhead Palin hasn't done much to help his image either.

NFL the "Unreal World".
"College graduates enter the work force today making somewhere between $30,000 and $70,000. NFL rookies start above $300,000 as a minimum wage. My take on the collective bargaining fight? Limit rookie salaries to maybe a maximum of $1 million. If they don't like that, they can get a job in the real world."
Dave, Elizabeth
Kiz: Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow got a $1.3 million salary to stand on the sideline in his home stadium for most of the season. Overpaid? You bet. But as long as we're arguing about money in the NFL, let's stand up for the fans. In a league that realizes a $9 billion annual bonanza, no taxpayer should ever have to finance a stadium again.
"Straight intha net".
"Veteran forward Kenyon Martin is now the Nuggets' emotional leader. He provides the fire and intensity this young team really needs. K-Mart also sets the defensive tone. I honestly think the Nuggets can catch Oklahoma City in the division race. The one area of concern for me is: Who now takes the game-winning shot? With Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, there were two answers to that question. We're going to have close, hard-fought games in an evenly matched Western Conference playoff race. Someone must step up."
Greg, Aurora
Kiz: Among these new-look Nuggets, the best pressure player is . . . are you ready for this? Arron Afflalo. Every time the California native and former UCLA star rises for a 3-point shot at crunch time, I hear "Straight Outta Compton" by N.W.A. And it's beautiful.
Crime and punishment.
"It doesn't make one iota of difference if you, me or anybody else happens to think the code of conduct at Brigham Young University is out of date or unfair. I'm sure sophomore basketball player Brandon Davies knew the rules and the possible punishment for violating the honor code when he enrolled at BYU. I see no justification for anyone to stand on the sideline and yell foul because Davies was dismissed from the basketball team. Do you think anyone in the media would have raised an eyebrow even for a second had it been a nonathlete, straight-A physics student who broke the rule and got the boot? You and I both know the answer."
Terry, Denver
Kiz: Here's applause for BYU's heartfelt belief that honor still matters. But Davies is not the same as a physics student in any way, shape or form. Unlike the physics student, Davies enjoyed cheers from more than 20,000 fans in the university's arena. Unlike the physics student, Davies contributed to a healthy revenue stream that benefited his school. And unlike a disgraced physics student, when Davies was busted for premarital sex, this athlete's sin was held to shame by a nationwide congregation. So, if you're asking me, add the embarrassment of becoming the butt of jokes throughout cyberspace to a one-game suspension, and that would have been sufficient punishment for Davies. Kicking him off the team was unnecessary.
Times they have been a-changin'.
"I feel sorry for Davies, and I feel sorry for the BYU basketball team. But in this day and age of loosening morals and an anything-goes mentality, it is refreshing to know that some places and some people still have a moral compass and want to abide by it."
Gary, Highlands Ranch
Kiz: Here's a tip of the cap to BYU's heartfelt belief that following your moral compass is more important than advancing down the road to the Final Four. But maybe forgiveness is one of man's strongest virtues. Is it possible for good peoples' definition of what's right and wrong to change over time? Brigham Young, a 19th-century pioneer of the Rocky Mountain region and the namesake for a great American university, had his own heartfelt beliefs about polygamy and the role of African-Americans in the church that would be considered unacceptable in 2011.
New era, new name
And today's parting shot is from a Nuggets fan who has so quickly fallen head over sneakers in love with a new team- first attitude that he has begun suggesting nicknames for his new-era heroes.
"The Nuggets" new starting point guard's nickname should be "High Veloci-Ty Lawson. Oh, yeah."
Geof, Evergreen

Carnivore's Delight by GarthTheDestroyerWatch
©2013-2016 GarthTheDestroyer
This was a little concoction I whipped up for a New Year's banquet we had with my family. It did surprisingly well.
I hope the recipe was thorough enough. I've cooked for quite a while, and when you go over recipes in your head, certain things seem to go without saying.
Also, this dish is best enjoyed with a side of salad or Pepto Bismol. Your colon will thank you.

As a study nutritionist I disapprove, but as man Fuck Yea.
...Why didI have to find this when I'm hungry? DX
lollll. XD you people.
I didn't know your wife was as big of a meat fan as Luffy!
I ... have totally got to try this!!
This...... I must do this.......
Why didnt you make the double baconwitch. Replace the bread you use with more bacon
How would it stay together? If anything, I'd make a sandwich using steaks as a substitute for bread.
Fuck meat, everything in there I've got veggie stuff to replace it with. Gonna try this recipe sometime!
Ugh! I've seen what some of that veggie meat-substitute looks like, and I gotta say, I've seen cow patties that have looked more appetizing.
Admittingly, there's not plenty of good stuff out there. In Sweden where I live there are just a couple of brands that you can buy in an actual store, otherwise one needs to order over the internet. What you can buy in the store is sufficient for my needs, however. I'm very picky myself, but I've found substitutes that are very, very good, and my meateating friends don't disagree!
Can I have a bite?
....I....I must try this now....
That would be an awesome dish for a Superbowl party.
Hmmm, I don't think it's meaty enough
I agree, that needs pepto in order to survive. SO MUCH MEAT.
Artificial pacemaker, here I come.
God, it's even worse than the Luther Burger....(shudders)....
A Luther Burger is a hamburger between two glazed donuts. It's apparently the fattiest food in Georgia. Though, I would assume human flesh is also pretty fatty....
By the way, that reply just made my century.
By the way, that reply just made my century.
Actually, the Luther Burger is a burger with a SPLIT GLAZED DONUT as the bun.
Drop it Garth your wife will have mercy but Luffy might bite your arms off.
As long as the Niku Niku fruit isn't involved, we'll be good
Bacon strips and bacon strips and bacon strips and...
Reminds me of the Simpson's "The Clogger" XDD
Barricade the door and seal off the windows...the Carnivores are coming!
needs more bacon XD
But that looks really tasty
But that looks really tasty
Yeah, I thought it needed more bacon and steak and less chicken. Garth thought it had a good balance of everything though.
Balance is good thing to have. Don't want to overpower it. But I wonder if it'll satisfy Luffy's appietite lol
Have you been watching Epic Meal Time, Garth? XD

Roky Erickson, performing "Night of the Vampire" (because Halloween is in FOUR DAYS! YAY!)
Aside from Mark Fefer's earlier post about Peter Apfelbaum, there are a couple of other very awesome shows going on tonight.
Roky Erickson and the Black Angels at Showbox at the Market, 8 p.m., $25, all ages
I'll just refer you to Hannah's column for this one. In which you will find out that the Black Angels are not only playing before Roky Erickson, they're playing WITH Roky Erickson as his backing band. Lucky them!
Crystal Castles, Lymbyc System, Expendable Youth at Neumos, 8 p.m., $15, all ages
Justin F. Farrar wrote this very lovely blurb about Crystal Castles a while back:
The Canadian duo Crystal Castles is commonly associated with the latest crop of electro-pop/nü rave dance jammers. In addition to appearing one of them Kitsuné compilations (along with Passions and Thieves Like Us), group cofounder Ethan Kath has remixed tracks by Bloc Party and Klaxons. But unlike their fellow hipsters, Crystal Castles doesn't go for slick club grooves or post-modern, neo-Kraftwerk coolness. Instead, the group deals in vintage Atari bleeps, crunchy distortion, jackhammer beats and claustrophobic soundscapes. In fact, Crystal Castles' brand of bouncy juvenilia sounds far more inspired by noise-rock obscuros like Coin and Extreme Animals it does the straight-up electro of Fischerspooner and Adult.
Spinto Band, Frightened Rabbit, Colonies at Chop Suey, 8 p.m., $12, all ages
Ma'chell, in this week's Short List, wrote the below about the Spinto Band. Opener Frightened Rabbit, a Scottish pop band, is pretty good as well.
Ahhhh, good ol' Delaware. The "first state" has given us so much over the years: VP candidate Joe Biden, Tupperware, screen doors, the comedic stylings of Judge Reinhold....and now the musical mastery of the one and only Spinto Band. SP's latest effort, Moonwink, combines a manically melodic energy with restrained pop smarts that wave out slightly on the British tip (which may be why the Brit press has gone completely gaga over these lads.) Much of the credit for reigning and honing the Spinto's POW, BOOM, ZAP has to be given to producer/engineer Dave Trumfio (Wilco, Mates of State), and mix master Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Cibo Matto) who applied the right amount of twinkly mellowness to the already wisely-crafted, textured tunes. Live, however, I hear the Spinto Band can go off like a middle school kid who's missed two days of ADD meds, so be prepared (or self-medicated) for a beautifully blissful spazz-o-rama!

- Birth control rule seems to divide Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled Monday that some companies with religious objections can avoid the contraceptives requirement in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, the first time the high court has declared that businesses can hold religious views under federal law.
The justices' 5-4 decision, splitting conservatives and liberals, means the Obama administration must search for a different way of providing free contraception to women who are covered under the health insurance plans of objecting companies.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his majority opinion, over a dissent from the four liberal justices, that forcing companies to pay for methods of women's contraception to which they object violates the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He said the ruling is limited and there are ways for the administration to ensure women get the birth control they want.
But White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the decision creates health risks for women, and he said Congress should take action to make sure they get coverage.
"President Obama believes that women should make personal health care decisions for themselves rather than their bosses deciding for them," Earnest said. "Today's decision jeopardizes the health of the women who are employed by these companies."
Contraception is among a range of preventive services that must be provided at no extra charge under the health care law that Obama signed in 2010. Nearly 30 million women receive birth control as a result of the health law, the government has said.
Benefits experts say they expect little impact from the ruling because employers use health benefits to recruit and retain workers. But one constitutional law scholar, Marci Hamilton of Yeshiva University, cautioned that more than 80 percent of U.S. corporations are closely held, and she said they could "now be able to discriminate against their employees."
PHOTOS: View more images from the steps of the Supreme Court as both sides react to the contraception ruling
Two years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts cast the pivotal Supreme Court vote that saved the law in the midst of Obama's campaign for re-election. On Monday, Roberts sided with the four justices who would have struck down the law in its entirety, holding in favor of the religious rights of closely held corporations, like the Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby chain of arts-and-craft stores that challenged the contraceptives provision.
The Hobby Lobby case was among roughly 50 that have involved insurance covering contraceptives. Some plaintiffs, like the two involved in the Supreme Court case, are willing to cover most methods of contraception, as long as they can exclude drugs or devices that the government says may work after an egg has been fertilized.
But Monday's ruling would apply more broadly to other companies that do not want to pay for any of the 20 birth control methods and devices that have been approved by federal regulators.
Alito said the decision is limited to contraceptives. "Our decision should not be understood to hold that an insurance-coverage mandate must necessarily fall if it conflicts with an employer's religious beliefs," he said.
He suggested two ways the administration could deal with the birth control issue. The government simply could pay for pregnancy prevention, he said. Or it could provide the same kind of accommodation it has made available to religious-oriented, not-for-profit corporations.
Those groups can tell the government that providing the coverage violates their religious beliefs. At that point, creating a buffer, their insurer or a third-party administrator takes on the responsibility of paying for the birth control. The employer does not have to arrange the coverage or pay for it. Insurers get reimbursed by the government through credits against fees owed under other provisions of the health care law.
That accommodation is the subject of separate legal challenges, and the court said Monday that profit-seeking companies could not assert religious claims in such a situation.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was part of the majority, also wrote separately to say the administration can solve its problem easily. "The accommodation works by requiring insurance companies to cover, without cost sharing, contraception coverage for female employees who wish it," Kennedy said. He said that arrangement "does not impinge on the plaintiffs' religious beliefs."
Houses of worship and other religious institutions whose primary purpose is to spread the faith are exempt from the requirement to offer birth control.
In a dissent she read aloud from the bench, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called the decision "potentially sweeping" because it minimizes the government's interest in uniform compliance with laws affecting the workplace. "And it discounts the disadvantages religion-based opt-outs impose on others, in particular, employees who do not share their employer's religious beliefs," Ginsburg said.

Yesterday I met with the nutritionist, for our 3rd meeting, and Well, she taught me how to manage my immense chocolate cravings that I get - Said to buy a bag of mini snickers and store them in the freezer.. Well I'm having an emotionally started craving, and I can't even find them in the freezer it's that jammed packed hahaha.
But regardless, I got all inspired and wrote out a beautiful meal plan for 1500 calories, with a low gi counterpart of morning tea and afternoon tea (to keep that blood sugar level stable) and then.. when I got home I looked for a pretty format to write it on, I'm delighted to share this (I found it on the net): (it has morning tea, afternoon tea slots)
It also has morning and afternoon exercise which I find exciting.. Pre-planning is the way to go I tell you :) Just trying to find some more activities I can do in a group at the moment.
I kept to my food list today pretty much except for 2 biscuits.. :/
but what I'm really joyful about is I figured out a way to preplan water intake that works for me! I won a drink bottle as you know... and it's BPA free.. ooh lovely. However, It's 550ml which is just plain confusing.
Last night I bought 3 more of these 750ml bottles:
Note they have different colours for the flavour, I just re-use them as water bottles, cos they are so hardy AND you can easily screw the cap off and drink lots at a time...
They are 750ml (3 glasses each) x 4 bottles = 3 Litres,
which is what you should drink if exercising, 2 Litres if not.
(Note I use NZ spelling, I haven't make a spelling mistake yet)
So that way I can line them up in the morning... Pop one in my bag... .see if I can get to the purple one by evening.. etc =)
I'm on my third bottle now, which is easy to figure out .. as my 8th Glass :)
Yay. Simple.
We like simple :)

Accident brings into sharp focus danger that celebrity photographers often face
LOS ANGELES In the world of paparazzi, one image of the rich or famous can be like winning the lottery. But the hunt for that shot can be dangerous — even deadly.
A photographer was struck by a car and killed on Tuesday as he darted across a street after snapping pictures of Justin Bieber's white Ferrari — and the teen heartthrob wasn't in the car.
The incident brought the dangers of paparazzi's often aggressive work into harsh focus, and prompted some celebrities to renew calls for tougher laws to rein in their pursuers. One previous attempt was stymied by First Amendment protections.
Authorities have withheld the name of the 29-year-old photographer pending notification of relatives.
In a statement, Bieber said his prayers were with the photographer's family.
"Hopefully, this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation … to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves," Bieber stated.
Singer Miley Cyrus sent tweets, saying paparazzi act like "fools" and the accident was "bound to happen." Cyrus wrote, "Hope this paparazzi/JB accident brings on some changes in '13. Wasn't Princess Di enough of a wake-up call?!"
Paparazzi roaming the streets of Southern California have been commonplace for more than a decade as they aim to land exclusive shots that can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars. Industry veterans recalled incidents where paparazzi chasing celebrities have been injured, but they couldn't remember a photographer being killed while working.
A friend of Bieber's was driving the Ferrari when a California Highway Patrol officer pulled it over for speeding along Interstate 405, authorities said. "This photographer evidently had been following the white Ferrari" and … stopped, parked and crossed the street to snap photos, Los Angeles police detective Charles Walton said. "The CHP officer told him numerous times that it wasn't safe" because there were no sidewalks or crossings along the street where the photographer had parked, so the driver of the car, a 69-year-old woman, that struck him had no reason to expect a pedestrian, Walton said.
