You might not expect to hear a trumpet fanfare, see a game of stickball or witness a performance by the award-winning dancer Arthur Aviles on the streets of Hunts Point and Longwood, but on Saturday, October 6th, that's exactly what audience members experienced. The final event in last weekend's celebration of the South Bronx featured 88 performers showcasing the music, dance and games that contributed to the vibrant culture of the neighborhood throughout history.
Earlier that day, visitors met at Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education for a walking tour of the South Bronx Culture Trail. A two year initiative, the Trail celebrates the rich cultural history of the South Bronx. For example, visitors heard about some of the biggest names in Latin music who came from the area, and they learned that salsa legends Eddie Palmieri, Joe Quijano and Ray Barretto went to school at P.S. 52.
After the tour of the Trail, participants viewed the opening of the HOME exhibit at Casita Maria. The exhibit features objects brought in by members of the Casita Maria community that answer the question, "What does home mean to you?" Also on display are collaborative works between artists and the South Bronx community.
The celebration culminated in PASEO, which means "promenade." Performers and audience members alike took to the streets with a parade through the neighborhood accompanied by lively music and dancing. On the street known as Banana Kelly, pigeons were released from a roof overhead. Participants also got to see games of stickball, double dutch and skelsies.
Created by Casita Maria and Dancing in the Streets to encourage community members and visitors to embrace the fascinating history of the South Bronx, the South Bronx Culture Trail helps bring people together and keep younger generations engaged in their cultural past.
Find out more about Casita Maria, view photos from Saturday's celebration or watch a video of PASEO's festivities.
How do you celebrate the cultural history of your neighborhood?

Hi! That didn't take long, because I decided to not look any more for my camera, and just go buy a new one. One that I don't have to share. One that will be guarded with my life.
Now... ( and these are just a few of them) ...here they are...the fabrics I have waited to get forever... they finally came!
(Blah blah blah)
So anyway, I've been sewing up a bunch of stuff.... and going a little crazy, but it's all really fun, and surreal to have my own fabric to work with. Now remember what I said about being kind??? Well I really mean it, because this is REALLY scary! I know some people will hate it, and some will like it. But I can't please the world, I can't even please myself. So please don't hate me if you hate the fabric!
Thanks, Love ya!

Thanks everyone! You are all being so nice to me, and I really appreciate it! It's O.K. to critique it too, I mean, I didn't really mean to scare you all and make you feel like you had to say something nice or I would have a mental breakdown or something...I'm totally open for advise! But I love you all for being so supportive!
Lindy...I don't know much about iron-on fabrics, but I do know a way to iron on any normal fabric to another one, if that's what you are looking for. Email me and I'll chat with you about it!
jt: I don't have any fabrics in home-dec weight yet, but that's what I want to do, so I'll be pushing for that! Some of Woodland Bloom will be done in flannel, though, which will be fun for fall projects!
Thanks everyone!

text: It does really piss me off though that so many people neglect the freedom that's given to them upon living here. It's a gift that we are abusing by relying more than ever on the government. The American Dream is to take the initiative and climb up the ladder of success through perseverance and hard work. No one's going to reach the top by dropping out of highschool and signing up for welfare. People need to realize in order to make a decent living, you have to push yourself and follow your dreams. Why waste my breath, though, because it's obvious we'll never reach that level of society at this rate. Not as long as Obama's in office, that is.

The annual ride brings a healthy mix of folks from those seeking personal challenge to those who ride for the camaraderie of bike teams or riding with friends to the many touched by multiple sclerosis. If you're interested in participating, you could be aiming to meet a personal fundraising goal (there is a$250 minimum) as well as riding the 40, 75 or 100 mile trails. If you're really ambitious, you could ride up to 175 miles over the weekend.
But don't worry, the Utah-Idaho MS Chapter is looking out for you. The ride is fully supported with rest stops, sag wagons, bike mechanics, and catered meals. They thought of everything!
The start and finish of the routes is going to be Logan's Cache Valley Fairgrounds, and the routes will lead you throughout the beautiful valley, including parts of Idaho. So I guess that makes it a multi-state bike ride! The Fairgrounds will also have a bunch of festivities for all ages and energy levels. They'll have bike and safety demos, live music, a dunking booth, kids zone and participant contests. Sounds like the party of the summer to me.
You can sign up in advance at www.bikemsutah.org or call 800-344-4867, option 2, or you can register the day of the ride at the fairgrounds. There is a registration fee of $50-60 the day of the ride, and participants are required to meet the minimum fundraising goal of $250.
Take the challenge to support the search for a cure, push yourself on the varying course lengths, and have fun in general with your fellow bikers or at the Fairground Festivities.

Wife: "I look fat. Can you give me a compliment?"
Husband: "You have perfect eyesight."
A man goes to a bar and sees a fat girl dancing on a table. He walks over to her and says, "Wow, nice legs!" She is flattered and replies, "You really think so?" The man says, "Oh definitely! Most tables would have collapsed by now."
Yo momma is so fat she uses a pillow for a tampon.
How to be Insulting in Theaters: If the person sitting in front of you is blocking your view, try adopting an irritating cough, or kicking your feet under their seat. Nasty, wet sneezes down the back of their neck are also effective in persuading them to look elsewhere for a seat.
How to be insulting when giving directions: Point with four fingers when they ask.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Solomon Burke was called the "king of rock and soul" only a few years into his career, and decades later his title remains unquestionably valid. A true musical pioneer, his voice was one that brought what we now call rock and roll to the masses, bridging the gap between races, musical genres and even geography. It's with deep sadness that we now mourn his loss, but his musical legacy will never be forgotten in shaping American history and influencing generations to come.

There's a new kind of beef in town, and may be healthier than what you've been buying in the store.
All-natural beef is taken from cattle fed with grass rather than grain. The grass feed does not contain any hormones or antibiotics. The cattle themselves are also not injected with any growth hormones or preventive antibiotics. The only time antibiotics are used are when the animal's life is in danger due to an infection.
Roland Hoffman is a cattle farmer in Barren County. His farm, called Spring Hills Farm, has been raising all-natural beef cattle for several years.
"What we're trying to introduce here is provide meat that is old-fashioned," he says.
But is his beef actually better than regular beef?
"Some consumers are concerned about the possible harm that antibiotics or hormones could have on humans when used in beef production," says Diane Sprowl, a dietitian with the Barren River District Health Department.
But she says there isn't enough scientific evidence at this point to show that added hormones in regular beef are harmful. She also says the risk from possible antibiotic-resistant bacteria from beef cattle given preventive antibiotics is also minimal.
"The only time this would be a concern is if the animal had an antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the meat wasn't thoroughly cooked."
Then perhaps the most notable benefit of natural beef, then, is the fact that Hoffman's cattle are fed grass. Regular beef cattle are often raised on grain feeds.
"The difference with grass fed cattle is that they have more concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acids, and vitamin E," Hoffman says.
Studies have shown omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce heart disease. Initial studies also show cojugated linoleic acids may help fight cancer. Vitamin E may combat both diseases.
Hoffman's natural beef is USDA-certified, but not yet available in stores. However, you can buy it direct from his farm by visiting his website at www.springhillsfarm.com.

Her Career in Theater, Film, and TV
"Oops, dropped it." Felicity Huffman is standing near a roaring brick oven at Los Angeles's upscale, forever-booked Pizzeria Mozza, peering forlornly at a ball of dough that has slipped from her fingers. But this splat doesn't tell the whole story.
Huffman has just aced the rest of a pie-making crash course that was cooked up specially for her by Pizzeria Mozza's chef and co-owner Nancy Silverton. Under her tutelage, Huffman — whose character on Desperate Housewives, Lynette Scavo, operates a pizzeria with her husband — has mastered the whole syllabus: stretching dough into 10-1/2-inch discs; ladling on thin, concentric layers of red passato sauce; adding pieces of mozzarella; snipping tiny bits of fresh basil over the bubbling finished product. She's getting a lot more experience today than her Housewives character has had ("Lynette has done the toppings," Huffman notes, "but she's never done the twirling"). In fact, Huffman moves pizzas in and out of the oven with such ease, wielding the long-handled slider like a pro, that the restaurant's young chef de cuisine, Bryant Ng, deadpans the question, "Is she looking for a job?"
The answer to that, Mr. Ng, would be no. When it comes to heat, Huffman's career can certainly compete with that 700-degree pizza oven. In 2005, Huffman took home a best actress Emmy for Desperate Housewives, and she was nominated again last year. In 2006, she won all manner of accolades, including a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination, for her portrayal of a pre-op male-to-female transsexual in Transamerica. Now Huffman's name and acting style ("No false notes, no affectations," summarizes writer-producer Aaron Sorkin, who worked with her on his late-1990s series Sports Night) have acquired stamp-of-quality status in the entertainment industry. What's not as well known is that the 45-year-old is classically trained, with three decades of experience onstage, as well as her work in TV and film. (An early member of David Mamet's Atlantic Theater Company, along with her husband of 11 years, actor William H. Macy, Huffman won an Obie in 1995 as a raging, newly jettisoned wife in Mamet's The Cryptogram.) So even when she was struggling to find gigs, her friends and colleagues always expected she would rise to the top.
One fan of Huffman's theater work was Sorkin. Recognizing her as she waited to audition for Sports Night, he made a beeline for co-executive producer Thomas Schlamme. "'There's an actress out there named Felicity Huffman,'" Sorkin recalls saying. "'I promise you, we will cast her in the lead.' And sure enough, she read once and bam, that was that. Knocked it out of the park."

City of Wilmington Joins Biden to Take Action to Shut Down Wilmington Gang House
Posted on 04/21/2014 1:42 pm
Criminal haven has been site of more than a dozen shootings, including 5 homicides since 2006; 'Violent criminal activity is ongoing and escalating'
Mayor Dennis P. Williams announced that the City of Wilmington has joined Attorney General Beau Biden and his office and filed a lawsuit to shut down a gang clubhouse and clean up a property on Wilmington's East Side that has been the site of at least 15 shootings – including five homicides – in the past eight years.
Biden is targeting a property on the 2800 block of Northeast Boulevard that is home to a national clubhouse for the Thunderguards Motorcycle Club, a group that has been identified as a "national outlaw motorcycle gang" by the federal government's National Gang Intelligence Center. In addition to the clubhouse, the suit is also targeting a parking lot adjacent to the clubhouse and nearby storage units that the gang uses for criminal activity, as well as a business adjacent to the parking lot that is owned by a gang member.
Using Delaware's criminal nuisance abatement law, which allows Biden's office to shut down drug houses and properties that are the site of multiple violent crimes, Biden is asking a judge to order the motorcycle gang to vacate its clubhouse and storage units, stay away from the parking lot, and bar gang members from the entire 2800 block of Northeast Boulevard where the properties sit.
"Shutting down and cleaning up crime-infested properties makes Delaware's communities safer and stronger," Attorney General Biden said. "Numerous violent crimes, including multiple homicides, have been committed at this site. Properties like this have shown that we cannot just arrest our way out of crime – we have to get at the root causes of crime, such as the properties that serve as havens for criminal gangs and drug dealers. We have successfully shut down and rehabilitated crime-infested properties all over the state and we will continue to use this powerful crime-fighting tool to help this Wilmington neighborhood fight back against crime."
Mayor Williams' administration brought the ongoing activity at the property to the attention of the Attorney General's Office this winter and Biden's office immediately conducted an investigation. As a result, on April 11 prosecutors filed a lawsuit in Superior Court against the property's owner seeking its closure because of the ongoing and violent criminal activity. In addition, Biden requested an emergency injunction ordering gang members to immediately vacate the properties while the lawsuit is litigated because of the ongoing and violent activity on-site. A hearing to hear arguments on the emergency petition has been set for May 11 in New Castle County Superior Court.
"Despite the many arrests and enforcement efforts, this property has plagued the community with continued violent criminal activity for years," Mayor Williams said. "We can no longer allow the criminal actions of a few to jeopardize the safety and quality of life for the residents in our neighborhoods," said Mayor Williams. "This Nuisance Abatement Complaint represents the collaborative effort between the City's Law Department and the Attorney General's office, and reflects our strong commitment to ensuring the safety of all citizens and local communities."
The State's lawsuit lays out a litany of criminal acts that have occurred on the gang's property and says that the property is a "material annoyance, inconvenience and discomfort to neighboring properties and persons. The Property is a haven for violent criminal activity, including at least five murders, numerous violent assaults, an armed robbery and at least 15 confirmed shootings since 2006. The violent activity is ongoing and escalating." Of the 15 confirmed shootings, five have resulted in homicides and another nine of the shootings left victims with life-threatening injuries.
At the start of Biden's first term as Attorney General in 2007, he launched a statewide initiative to rehabilitate drug houses and other crime-infested properties using Delaware's Drug Nuisance & Social Vices Abatement Act, which he worked to expand in 2011 to include properties that have been the sites of violent crimes. The initiative has led to the shutdown and rehabilitation of more than a dozen properties and the training of more than 500 landlords on how to keep their rental properties from becoming havens for criminals.

Be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary- William S. Burroughs
I would love to see this man perform.

Of course the best thing about Ryan Adams is that he actively promotes people recording and making public his gigs. So he's right up there with the Greatful Dead on the Internet Archive live music resource.
check it out there's days worth of gigs to cherry-pick from
some of the best ones..
Be just and if you can't be just, be arbitrary- William S. Burroughs
On the one and only time I saw him in Brizzle a few years ago he ranked amongst the worst performers I've ever seen in 25years of gig going, some 500+ acts from bars to stadiums.
He was drunk and stoned and a total tosser. Sat at the piano and flicked through his songbook and half heartedly started songs, only to abandon them one by one as (his words) he wasn't in the mood. Argued with the crowd who were getting restless. He went off after about 45mins, moaning cos he wanted a cigarette. Not sure what was in the cigarette, but things were much better after the interval! He ditched the piano for an electric and peeled off some tunes effortlessly. Why he couldn't have done that for the first hour I've no idea.
I think he's cleaned himself up since then. Not sure I'd bother again. A shame as I do like his stuff and have all his solo stuff.

Cafe Tasse is a Belgium chocolate company whose work I see around a lot. You see it mingling around the higher end chocolate like Valrhona, El Rey, Dolfin, Michel Cluizel, etc. Hanging around a crowd like that gives me high expectations. I finally caved one day and picked up this Noir Cafe bar since I was craving something with a good coffee flavor.
I've seen Cafe Tasse chocolate sold in many different formats. I've seen small 5g tasting squares, larger "mini" bars, 45g finger bars, then the large sized bar pictures above. I like how they offer lots of different sizes to cater to how gluttonous you feel.
The design is lovely. A brown paper wrapper with vintage styled black lettering adorns the outside. The different flavors of the chocolates are color coded, so it's easy to pick out your favorite amongst a vast selection on a high shelf.
The bar is beautiful to look at with a gorgeous, deep coloring that's very inviting. The snap was promising too: crisp and robust.
It's sadly in the flavor where this chocolate goes south. The chocolate is indeed dark, with a flat flavor that's extremely dry. The coffee is overpowering, adding more unnecessary tannic flavor to an already sour chocolate. Also, the coffee flavor is not just a flavor really. There's coffee grounds in here. Lots of them. So yes, I do taste coffee, but I feel like I'm eating sand there's so much grit in here. Isn't the point of chocolate is to taste it and feel it's wonderful smooth texture? It is for me at least.
This bar is a great example of how a chocolate bar can be misleading. Everything about it suggests it's an excellent treat except for the flavor. Where, sadly, where the mark of a good chocolate bar really lies.

There is something special growing in Rockland County. Catholic Charities Community Services of Rockland (CCSR) is making it possible for the local community to take advantage of fresh, healthy produce grown on-site at the agency's community garden, named the "Garden of Love."
For the third year in a row, the growing season was kicked off with hunger awareness art exhibition and a "Blessing of the Soil" ceremony. The ceremony celebrated CCSR's successful efforts to raise community awareness of hunger and the need to build an integrated, sustainable, and cost-effective response.
Monsignor J. Weber, vicar of Rockland County, was joined by Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, executive director of Catholic Charities, and Michael Kohut, mayor of Haverstraw. Head chefs from local restaurants, including Guarino's, Ditto, Union Restaurant, La Hacienda de Manuel, Antoine's, McGuire's, and others presented cooking demonstrations focusing on healthy eating and the use of vegetables as ingredients and main courses.
The Youth Hunger Awareness Artwork Project displayed artwork by Rockland County youth focused on the theme of hunger. The public got the chance to learn about the preparation of vegetarian cuisine, meet the young artists and their instructors and learn about the growing problem of hunger in America.

text: Rock and roll was never the same after the Sex Pistols. They ignited the punk-rock revolution in Britain, and the reverberations carried to all corners of the rock and roll world. Expressing the cynical, restive mood of youthful Britons, the Sex Pistols restored a sense of danger to rock music. This wasn't the theatrical danger of Alice Cooper's onstage guillotine but the very real possibility of injury to the body and a jolt to the senses. At Sex Pistols concerts during their two-year British heyday - from their first show on November 6, 1975, through the end of 1977 - ...full bio

ZF-374: Include Run Instructions for Unit Tests
The framework should include summary and detailed instructions on how to run the unit tests using PHPUnit, perhaps in a {{README.txt}} file.
Better would be to integrate a own chapter in the documentation (f.e. Appendix A - Internal Framework Testing)
I agree - good idea!
Changing fix version to 0.6.0.
Much of the information needed to successfully run the ZF unit tests are found here: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…
Changing to 'Unassigned'
This issue should have been fixed for the 1.5 release.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Maybe it makes sense to do this when you write the controller unit test docs? This should only require a few paragraphs, and an appendix on unit testing would be very useful.
Changing to comply with new IT coventions for components.
Information is covered in http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…

before I talk about this I guess you better go on and wiki-up Bosnia or somthing because thats what this whole thing is about. You guys more likely won't know what they are, because they only came into the st.louis region after their "war".
So I was having a shitty day. Nothing really knew, because school sucks and mine also has the fucking retarded drama on the earth. And I'm always stuck in the middle, because I try to be friends with almost everyone. Its easier.
Then I was walking to the Girl's locker rom and my friend Lindsey came up to me and went, "I'm fucking going up to the counselours to talk about those fucking bosnians." So we gathered up a couple of our closest friends (Amber, Jacklyn, and Cassie [sex ninja ]).
I guess I'll explain the story of these smelly ass bosnians. In art class, everyone can make their own tile to put in the Cafetaria and so the bosnians are making one that says somthing like "Bosnian pride" in bosnian language. And no white person is allowed to sign it. Also, I already hate them so it got me easily pissed off. Lindsey was bitching to me about it in the beggining of the week, and soon enough I tried to forget about it...
So today she brang it up. And it pissed me more off so we went to one of our P.E teachers, Mr. Cook.
"Mr. Cook, we need to go to the counselours."
"All six of you?"
"No, I'll let one person go."
"We all have to go, Mr. Cook."
"What's this all about?"
"Settle down, Lindsey! Okay, just because you have an hatred for another doesn't make you go up and get them in trouble."
Then we explain to him about the tile and still he didn't care. So I got really pissed and we all just left without his permission tyo the counseling room, where no one was to be found. Then I heard Amber go, "It's Mr. Cook!" And he looked pretty pissed, so he went, "YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO ANYWHERE WITH OUT MY PERMISSION! TO THE OFFICE! ALLL OOFFF YOOOU!"
So we went, while Lindsey muttering, "I'm going to break their fucking necks and hit them in Mr. Cooks face and burn them with a torch... Grrr." And me going, "I fucking hate this school."
So when we got to the office, Mr. Hayes (our principle) came out and began screaming, "THIS ISN'T A SCHOOL FULL OF RACISM! TREAT THE BOSNIANS WITH RESPECT! blahblahblah" and lindsey started screaming, "I FUCKING HATE THEM! ITS NOT US BEING RACIST, ITS THEM!" And then Mr. Cook walked back down to the gym while we were getting yelled at.
So then Mr. Hayes went, "So who's the ring leader? HUH?" And he turned to Lindsey.
"Lindsey?" And he then quickly turned to me, "Oh yeah, it's defiantly you, isn't it MISS KELSI?!" Then I went, "What's your problem? Just because your a freak that goes around speaking bosnian with those smell as-"
"That's it! ALL OF YOU OUT! GET BACK TO CLASS!" So we all went back down pissed as hell and we had to play volleyball. While so, our ONLY bosnian friend Azra was like, "I really hate being bosnian. I wish I was american.." And started crying. So I said, "We can change your name... ^^; How about Jessica?" Then Azra said, "No, I like Hannah." So I decided her new american name would be Hannah Grovemen. xD When Jacklyn found out that was her name name she went, "Oh god, her and fucking Hannah Montana. She watches it ALL THE TIME." I had a good laugh from that.
So I was talking to my mum and she said that she'll have a "talk" with the school board or prinicple.

Senior Zach Woods strikesout nine Seahawks
March 29, 2011
WILMINGTON, N.C. - East Carolina's offense came alive Tuesday night as they pounded out a season-high 20 hits and cruised to a 20-5 win over in-state rival UNC Wilmington at Brooks Field. With the win the Pirates improve to 19-5, while the Seahawks drop to 14-11.
Zach Woods (1-2) picked up his first win of the season working five strong innings where he struck out nine and allowed two runs (both earned) on four hits. Mike Anderson made is fourth appearance of the season out of the bullpen working two innings where he gave up three runs (all earned) on four this with four strikeouts. Freshman Tanner Merritt made his second appearance of the year working 1.2 innings of scoreless relief, while Lance Honeycutt recorded the final out on one pitch in the ninth getting a ground out to second to end the contest.
The Seahawks used 10 pitchers on the night and Ryan Leach (0-2) lasted just one inning in his sixth start of the season allowing four runs on four hits in the loss. Jack Lane came on to spell Leach and allowed six runs (two earned) on two hits in two-thirds of an inning and then it became a mess in the box score. Eight more hurlers saw action on the mound with five being touched for multiple runs.
Trent Whitehead paced a four-run first inning as ECU jumped out early 4-0 lead on the Seahawks. The senior leadoff hitter smacked his first homer of the season, 15th of his career, sending a shot to right center. John Wooten stroked a one-out triple to left field and Ben Fultz walked to put runners on the corners for Jack Reinheimer, who singled through the left side scoring Wooten. Chris Gosik used a bases clearing double to left center capping the scoring at four.
Woods retired UNCW in order in the bottom of the first and the Pirates got back after it in the second plating six more runs for a 10-0 lead. Wooten reached on a bunt fielder's choice that scored Whitehead and Fultz singled to back to the pitcher scoring Thompson. Reinheimer followed on a RBI fielder's choice and freshman Jonathan Holt doubled to right center pushing across Reinheimer and Gosik.
The Pirates would score three runs in the third and two in the fourth building a comfortable 15-2 lead before the Seahawk pitchers finally cooled off ECU's bats from the fifth to the seventh. But ECU would get four more in the eighth and one in the ninth to finish with 20 runs, the most since April 10th of last year when they put up 20 runs 22 hits against Memphis.
UNCW scored a run in the second after Matt Campbell led off with a triple and then swiped home on a double steal. Pinch hitter Dakota Piver homered in the fourth off of Woods to draw the score to 15-2. The Seahawks scored three runs in the seventh to cap their scoring at five.
In all 13 Pirates recorded at least one hit with Reinheimer leading the way going 3-for-6 with a career-best four RBI and three runs scored. Joining Reinheimer with multiple hits were Whitehead (2-for-4), Philip Clark (2-for-2), Thompson (2-for-3), Wooten (2-for-6) and Fultz (2-for-4). Every starter for ECU scored at least one run and all but Younger drove in a run on the night.
Head Coach Billy Godwin recorded his 212th victory tying him with ECU Hall of Famer and former Pirate skipper Keith LeClair for second place on the all-time wins list.
Following ECU's 20-5 victory over UNCW, Godwin announced that junior left-handed pitchers Patrick Somers and Kevin Brandt have been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.
"I set high standards of conduct for being a member of our baseball program. I am really proud of the many young men on our team that adhere to these standards. It is really important for me that we work with young men to achieve excellence in all areas of their lives on and off the field. I fully expect Kevin and Pat to return to our program soon as better young men."
ECU will be back on the diamond on Wednesday when they play host to Elon at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. (EST).

Think you and your honey have the whole financial thing down pat? Take this quiz to find out.
By Laura Shanahan � Bankrate.com
When it comes to marital money matters, how do you and your mate relate? To find out if you and your spouse make cents together, invest a little time in this quiz.
Contemplating your financial future as a couple makes your:
Heart feel full of hope.
Tummy feel (gently) filled with butterflies.
Bile back up: You're having a Maalox moment.
The food, ambience and service are all swell at the restaurant you and your mate just dined at -- but true to form, your partner leaves a lousy tip. You:
Slip more money on the table, when Big Spender's back is turned.
Scream, ''You're embarrassing me!'' Some people need to be shamed to learn -- besides, you don't want the staff thinking you're complicit.
Make a mental note to express your unease at your next ''cash conference.''
You spend $100 of your own mad money for a watch that really tickles your fancy. Your mate, a fervent fan of the five-buck street-vendor special, eyes your purchase, and asks, ''How much?'' Do you tell?
(Please, stop spewing coffee on the screen.)
Depends -- you may give an answer, and it may be straightforward or just playful; indeed, it may even be a big smile.
Sure, but you'll probably ''downgrade'' the amount a bit. Look, whatever makes life easier -- you're not looking for trouble.
401(k) is:
Your retirement plan(s), and you're both relatively up-to-date on the status of it/them.
Something you're pretty sure honey-pie has. Or maybe doesn't have. Well, it's one or the other.
Pamela Anderson's bra size.
You find a letter from a collection agency in the mail. Your gut reaction is:
''Hmm, this must be meant for another Clarence K. Crumbwhacker.''
''Dear Lord, what has that pinhead done now?''
''Odd. Could there have been a bill we overlooked paying?''
The last time you and tootsie talked about money:
Ideas were exchanged.
Silent moments were prominent.
Food was flung.
If poopsie still has college loans, do you know their status?
You know the status of anything that could affect your credit rating, individually or jointly.
Poopsie went to college?
You're not sure -- but that's poopsie's problem, n'est-ce pas?
A man who generally defers to his wife's judgment on financial matters:
Should be called Nancy.
Is probably a ''New Age'' type.
Nothing to ''admit'' here: You make no judgment on this.
Budgets are:
A yoke and a joke. No one can really hold to them -- that's why they're a prime cause of marital guilt and fights.
Vitally important -- you can't imagine how couples manage without a reasonably formalized game plan.
Fine for some folks, but often not worth the time and energy consumed in working them out, reviewing them, yada yada yada.
One of you enjoys spending; the other's more of a saver. Your most fervent wish?
That you can continue to agree to disagree on the small stuff -- but keep an overall commonality.
That your spouse sees the light.
That your spouse sees a divorce judgment in your favor. One of these days, Alice/Al ...

About Me Movie Buff
I feel that the National Geographic presentation of the Judas Gospel was an excellent source of historical information. It gave me a better understanding of the different sects which composed the early followers of Christ and made it more clear to me why this gospel was not included in the more orthodox writings of our Bible.

Donna Jean Godchaux sang with the Grateful Dead from 1972 to 1979. By the time she was 15, she was singing back-up vocals on sessions at Rick Hall's Fame recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. She sang on numerous songs recorded at Fame, including Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman." She headed to San Francisco in the summer of 1970 where she met keyboardist Keith Godchaux, and they married shortly thereafter. In 1971 Keith joined the Dead, and Donna joined a short while later. She recorded with the band on Wake of the Flood, From the Mars Hotel, Blues for Allah, Terrapin Station, and Shakedown Street. During their tenure with the Dead, the Godchauxs released the album Keith and Donna, with Garcia on guitar. They also appeared with the Jerry Garcia Band. After leaving the Dead, they formed the Heart of Gold Band. Then, after the death of Keith in 1980, Donna remarried and moved back to Alabama to work at Muscle Shoals. In 2009, she formed a new band, the Donna Jean Godchaux Band, with Jeff Mattson and other members of the Dead cover band the Zen Tricksters.

Drummer Bill Kreutzmann, best known as the steadfast heartbeat of the Grateful Dead from 1965 to 1995, has devoted his life to stretching and surpassing the percussive limits of music. Armed with his signature dynamic rhythm and uncanny subtly, Kreutzmann's lifetime pursuit has garnered him the reputation as an unequivocal, if enigmatic, backbeat.
Enigmatic because, during his four decade career with the Grateful Dead, and even since then, Kreutzmann has let his sweet rhythm and undeniable musical charisma do the talking.

If you've ever bumped your elbow against a table or fallen down and landed on your knees, you know how your body reacts to injury. The site becomes hot, red and swollen. These symptoms mean that your immune system is sending out inflammatory markers—proteins and white blood cells—to fend off potential infections. "In the short run, inflammation is a good thing. It protects you from bacteria and viruses," says Tanya Edwards, MD, medical director of the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Integrative Medicine. "But if an inflammatory reaction continues over a long period of time, you're in for problems."
That's because prolonged stresses—a huge universe of assaults that includes smoking, being obese, sitting too long, taking certain drugs and eating certain foods—lead your body to more or less continuously release pro-inflammatory markers, putting you into a chronic state of low-level inflammation that is damaging rather than protective, says Michael Rafael Moreno, MD, author of The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging. These markers travel throughout the body and are associated with heart disease, some cancers, osteoarthritis, kidney problems and -Alzheimer's—which is one reason Moreno says that whether or not you have chronic inflammation is "the strongest factor" in how well your body is aging.
Because some foods promote inflammation and others help tamp it down, what we eat makes a surprisingly large contribution to our individual level of inflammation. For instance, a study done at the University of Buffalo in New York found that eating an anti-inflammatory food (in this case, 300 calories of orange juice) neutralized the pro-inflammatory effect of a 900--calorie, high-fat, high-carb meal. A variety of foods fall into either the pro- or anti-inflammatory camp, according to a slew of recent studies, and that makes it easy to "build up your body's anti-inflammatory army as you cut down the pro-inflammatory one," says nutritionist Jonny Bowden, PhD, coauthor of The Great Cholesterol Myth. The payoff for these switches? By lowering inflammation through food and other means (see 3 Surprising Ways to Fend Off Inflammation), "you will reduce disease, slow down how fast you age and add years to your life," says Moreno.
Here are the dietary moves most likely to lengthen your life.
#1 Load Up on Omega-3 Fatty Acids
According to current thinking, omega-3 fatty acids are one of the most effective dietary weapons against inflammation. Found in some fish (such as salmon) and plant oils (walnuts are a potent source), these fats have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and breast and colon cancer. "We think omega-3s may not only keep inflammation from going up but also push levels down," says Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD, a professor of psychology and psychiatry at Ohio State College of Medicine in Columbus. In a study, Kiecolt-Glaser and her colleagues found that overweight adults who took 1.25 or 2.5 grams of omega-3 supplements a day for four months lowered their inflammation levels by up to 10 percent compared with a control group.
And you don't have to take pills to get these benefits. In a recent review in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Harvard researchers concluded that consuming at least two servings (about three ounces each) of oily seafood every week is connected to lower levels of inflammation.
#2 Cut Down on Omega-6 Fatty Acids
In the right amounts, these are beneficial, protecting your body from potential invaders by making inflammation-producing cells. However, the typical Western diet is heavy on foods that are rich in omega-6s—such as dairy, meats, potatoes, rice and other simple carbs, and vegetable oils such as sunflower and corn. As a result, instead of eating a ratio of three omega-3 foods to every one omega-6 food, we are eating an inflammation-promoting ratio of 25 omega-6s to every omega-3. "It's like pressing on the gas without balancing your speed with the brake," says Moreno.
The obvious advice is to cut down on these pro-inflammatory foods while increasing your consumption of foods that are richest in omega-3s. Less obviously, if you eat a lot of meat, consider switching to organic versions. "Conventionally farmed animals are fed grain, which bumps up the omega-6 content of their meat," says Andrew Weil, MD, director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona and the author of True Food. "Organic and free-range animals, by contrast, dine on grasses, nuts and other plant life that has a higher omega-3 content." Also to keep in mind: Some conventional fish farmers now incorporate corn into their feed, so check labels and choose wild fish if you can.
#3 Reduce Insulin Surges
When the body detects a rise in glucose, the pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that causes cells to absorb glucose in an effort to keep blood sugar at optimal levels. Why is this important? "Insulin is pro-inflammatory," says Edwards. "The more insulin you produce, the more inflammatory markers you make." Ideally, the body breaks food down into glucose slowly, causing insulin to be released at low levels. However, with refined foods, the breakdown happens quickly, and insulin floods the body.
Many, but not all, studies suggest that you can keep insulin levels in check by eating more whole grains with your meals. Whole-grain foods are rich in fiber, which slows the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream. How much is enough? A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating 7.5 to 10.5 servings a week produced the biggest reduction in inflammation-related deaths (from, for instance, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease) in postmenopausal women, notes lead author David Jacobs, PhD, a public health professor at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
#4 Minimize Sugar
Exactly half of a sugar molecule is made up of fructose (the other half is glucose). "Fructose goes directly to the liver," says Bowden. If you routinely eat a lot of fructose, the liver becomes overtaxed and through a complex set of chemical reactions creates fatty liver tissue, similar to the organ damage caused by overindulging in alcohol. Since fat cells release pro-inflammatory molecules known as cytokines, eating or drinking sugary foods contributes to your overall inflammation level.
Incredibly, every day most Americans consume about 22 teaspoons of added sugar (that's sugar in addition to what we get naturally in whole foods), according to the American Heart Association, which recommends women cut down to about six teaspoons. Because sugar is found in so many foods, keeping a tally may not be possible. What you can do instead is focus on eating a diet rich in whole foods and eliminating processed foods whenever possible, says Moreno.
#5 Get Plenty of Antioxidants
"Inflammation is the body's reaction to free radicals, unstable oxygen-containing molecules that are harmful," says nutritionist Keri Glassman, RD, author of The New You and Improved Diet. "Plants are rich in chemicals called antioxidants that are able to neutralize free radicals or even prevent them from being created in the first place." A diet rich in fruits and vegetables translates into less inflammation in the body, according to a 2011 review in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. The darker the color (think kale, eggplant, beets) and the smaller the size (blueberries, pomegranate, goji and açaí), the greater the health boost. And because each pigment in the produce is associated with specific antioxidants, all of which have different benefits, try to eat foods in a variety of colors.
You can increase the nutritional content of fruits and veggies by eating those that are either flash frozen or locally grown and recently harvested. "The moment some produce is picked, it starts to lose its antioxidant value," says Glassman. Since transporting food takes time, it's generally a good bet to stick with items from your region or at least in season (out of season means the produce probably traveled a long way to get to you). Because frozen food is chilled immediately after harvest, it's often a better bet than fresh stuff that may have been sitting around for days before it was shipped to a grocery store.
#6 Eat More Soy
Soy is rich in two isoflavone compounds that may influence and decrease inflammation. Aim for one to two servings a day of whole soy foods, where a serving is equivalent to one cup of soy milk or a half cup of tofu, tempeh, edamame or soy nuts, Andrew Weil recommends. Try using soy milk in your coffee or cereal or tossing tofu into a fresh salad or pasta dish. Weil advises avoiding soy supplements. Concentrated isoflavones resemble estrogen in their effect on the body, so there is such a thing as too much.
#7 Keep Tabs on Food Sensitivities
When you experience an allergy or sensitivity (possibly to dairy, gluten or eggs), your body is sending out an immune response to something that is benign for most people. The downside of this "friendly fire" is inflammation, says the Cleveland Clinic's Edwards. Think you have a sensitivity? Talk to your doctor about getting tested for allergies or trying an elimination diet, in which you remove suspected irritants, then add them back.

The Tofaş Bursa Museum of Anatolian Cars is hosting Time Machines, a clock exhibition that reflects the history of timepieces going back thousands of years.
"The clock in itself is space, its movement time, its setting man." So does Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, a prominent figure in Turkish literature, define time. A product of man's passion for measuring time, clocks have graced tables, walls and even towers throughout history. Going beyond their function of measuring time, clocks have also taken on an aesthetic identity that reflects the attributes of different cultures.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock…
Time changes, so do clocks… In its 'Time Machines" exhibition, Tofaş Bursa Museum of Anatolian Cars takes visitors on a journey through time and the development of clocks. You can see 100-year-old clocks in this exhibition, which features 1,800 of them from the collection of architect Naim Arnas as well as tools and instruments used by clockmakers.

Mark and Barbara Peterson (names have been changed) met during freshman year of college. Her blend of warmth and spontaneity was a perfect match for his nerdy, self-deprecating personality.
It was the first serious relationship for both of them, and they fell quickly in love. Exactly two years after they met, Mark proposed, and they were married six months before graduation.
Barbara worked as a secretary in Boston to support the couple while Mark was in law school. His career as a tax lawyer took off, and they had two daughters. Theirs was a storybook marriage — or at least it started out that way.
(MORE: 5 Reasons Not to Find a Husband in College)
Trouble in Paradise
Thirty-five years after their initial kiss, Mark and Barbara, now in their mid-50s, were in my office to talk about a major marital crisis. Barbara spoke first. She wasn't angry, she wasn't sad. She was committed to Mark, but had always worried that his lack of self confidence would make him vulnerable to other women's advances. She held her head high and calmly announced, "Mark is having an affair, and we need to fix this."
Four years earlier, he had developed an infatuation with one of his paralegals, Lydia. Mark, who grew up in a Jewish community on Long Island, found this Colombian beauty exotic and tantalizing. He went to great efforts to befriend her and spend as much time as possible with her at work, plus he bought her gifts behind his wife's back. While he felt a sexual attraction to her, to his way of thinking, he wasn't doing anything "wrong." They were just enjoying a "close friendship."
But when Barbara witnessed their interactions at a staff holiday party, she was alarmed at their familiarity. She confronted Mark, who acknowledged this secret friendship and assured his wife he would put an end to it then and there.
