Did Rob Kardashian and Kim Kardashian have a fallout? Why did he leave Europe and miss his sister's wedding? Has Kim Kardashian been weight-shaming her baby brother?
According to a May 24 X 17 report, Rob Kardashian left Paris on Saturday prior to the start of the wedding ceremony. Rob and Kim reportedly had a fight on Friday before their scheduled lunch at designer Valentino's estate. Apparently the bride-to-be had wanted her entire family to wear beautiful Valentino clothing on the way to meet with the designer. Did Rob's recent weight gain prove to be an issue for his image-conscious sister?
As an insider explained, "Rob said he was sickened by Kim and Kanye's display of wealth and clothes and beauty and called it 'superficial bullsh-t' but Kim was p-ssed that Rob hadn't made an effort to drop any weight over the past few months. Rob basically thinks Kim cares about him only for his appearance and he said he'd 'make life easier' for her and just leave."
The Kardashian brother was reportedly so upset after the fight that he booked the next flight back to Los Angeles, skipping the lunch, the rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. "Rob booked his flight for Saturday morning and skipped the lunch at Valentino's. He just doesn't seem to feel comfortable or happy around his family at all. They're all wrapped up in the same pretty world and he just doesn't fit in."
Poor Rob! One would think that after all the media scrutiny Kim endured over her pregnancy weight gain, she would be a bit more sympathetic to her brother's situation. Why couldn't she be happy just to have her brother at her wedding? Couldn't Valentino have designed a plus size suit for him?
Rob Kardashian has spent years struggling with his fluctuating weight. On May 20, he responded to the weight critics in a Twitter rant (that he later deleted). As he commented, "so i found out i was trending for being fat...thank you all it really made my day."
He continued, "and to the blogs saying i went to fat camp or rehab LOL then why am i still fat u fools?? y'all must have run out of real news. first, i don't believe in rehab or therapy or anything of that sort and second I'm a grown man and will work on myself when i choose. I'm aware that I'm fat that def aint a surprise to me lol and my only therapy will be in the gym anyways had to say somethingggggggggg."
Rob had been very reluctant to attend his sister's wedding to begin with. As Radar Online reported in March, he had felt self-conscious about his weight gain and had felt like an outsider in his family. The article also talked about the strained relationship between Rob and Kim. "The reality of their situation is that Kim and Rob haven't been that close in years. Deep down, she thinks he is a total slacker and it's very hurtful to Rob."
Although Rob may not feel close to Kim, he does have at least one sister in his corner. Last week, Khloe Kardashian defended her brother against the weight critics. As she tweeted, "Some of you people are disgusting for calling others names and picking on them. You should be ashamed of your self...Its sickening to critique anyone off of their appearance. Grow up!"
Was Kim Kardashian out of line for making her brother feel self-conscious about his weight? Or should he have made more of an effort to lose the weight before the wedding? Should Rob Kardashian have stuck around for his sister's big day? Or was he justified in leaving early?

What are the dangers of malaria?
While most malarial parasites need not be fatal, the resulting bouts of fever, shivering etc., can cause a lot of weakness. The plasmodium falciparum parasite, however, can cause serious complications including low blood sugar levels, abnormal accumulation of fluids in the lungs, spontaneous bleeding, circulatory collapse, and shock. It might be even fatal as when it causes the much-feared cerebral malaria - often described as un-rousable coma. Malaria is highly dangerous for the pregnant women the the unborn child, who are likely to develop the more severe cases of malaria.

Mosquitoes are the number one enemy of public health because they are vectors of a lot of diseases such as malaria and dengue. That's why it is really important that we eradicate them. Numerous studies have been done against mosquitoes. There are insecticides and organic insecticides to kill them.

If mosquitoes can carry and transmit a virus the size of the Malaria virus, why do they not also carry and transmit a much smaller virus called HIV? Medicos poo poo this idea. If the insects don't transmit and carry Aids then should the filtering mechanism be closely studied?

You first need to do is go to the hospital first as soon as possible then take some antibiotic medicine. First keep in your mind that clean your home from all poor insect control areas.

Ex-KPMG Partner London Set to Plead Guilty
By Michael Rapoport
Scott London was out, he says — till Bryan Shaw pulled him back in.
London, the former KPMG LLP senior partner who plans to plead guilty Monday to providing tips on KPMG clients to his friend Shaw, says the two of them actually halted their insider-trading scheme at one point — in 2012, after Shaw's brokerage account was frozen.
"We both said, 'This was stupid,'" London said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Menopause Health Center
Panel: Hormone Therapy Not for Prevention of Chronic Conditions
Harms of Hormone Therapy to Prevent Disease continued...
Women getting estrogen alone had:
- Higher risk of stroke
- Higher risk of blood clots in the leg (DVT)
- Higher risk of gallbladder disease
- Higher risk of urinary incontinence
"On balance, weighing the benefits against the harms led us to say we would not use these therapies for the prevention of chronic conditions," Bibbins-Domingo says. "It really doesn't work for most of the conditions we considered. And for the biggest benefit, osteoporosis, the harms far outweigh that benefit."
The panel took into account the fact that other effective ways to prevent osteoporosis are available.
What Do the USPSTF Recommendations on HT for Prevention of Chronic Disease Mean?
Here's the exact language of the draft recommendations:
- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against the use of combined estrogen and progestin for the prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal women. This is a grade D recommendation. (Discourage the use of this service.)
- The USPSTF recommends against the use of estrogen for the prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal women who have had a hysterectomy. This is a grade D recommendation.
- This recommendation applies to postmenopausal women who are considering hormone therapy for the primary prevention of chronic medical conditions. This recommendation does not apply to women younger than 50 who have undergone surgical menopause. This recommendation does not consider the use of hormone therapy for the management of menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes or vaginal dryness.
The draft recommendations are posted on the USPSTF web site. Anybody who would like to post comments and/or recommend changes is welcome to do so. After considering these comments, the USPSTF will issue its final recommendations.
What will that mean?
The USPSTF is an independent panel of experts in preventive and family medicine. Members are appointed for a four-year term. Their job is to evaluate medical evidence for preventive medicine. Topics are nominated by the public and chosen by the panel.
USPSTF recommendations do not set policy, although they may serve as the basis for guidelines established by medical associations and insurers.
Under the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and health plans must pay for services recommended by the USPSTF. Medicare may pay for services not recommended by USPSTF if the Department of Health and Human Services so decides. Insurers may or may not reimburse for services not recommended by the USPSTF.
The Nelson team's review of the evidence regarding preventive use of HT appears in the May 28 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.

Mediocre pugilist Amir Khan told the UK's Daily Mail on Monday that he is ready to throw fists with boxing legends Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
Numerous media outlets have reported that Khan (28-3, 19 KOs) will face the 36-year-old Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs) on May 3.
However, Mayweather is now apparently considering Marcos Maidana as an opponent.
Khan survived against the 30-year-old Maidana (35-3, 31 KOs) in December 2010.
"I am the one who signed the contract. I've signed my part of the contract. They have not," said Khan, 26, who most recently exited the squared circle in April after outscoring Mexican Julio Diaz. "If (Floyd) wants to fight Amir Khan, then he should sign it. If he wants to face someone I've beaten (Maidana), then so be it."
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) earned a lopsided unanimous decision over Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios to capture the WBO international welterweight belt on November 24.
Displaying elite footwork and the uncanny ability to deliver punches from all angles, Pacquiao peppered the 27-year-old Rios (31-2-1, 23 KOs) with brilliant combinations that left "Bam Bam" bruised, cut and swollen.
Although a bit more cautious and reserved, Pacquiao remains an overwhelming pugilistic force.
Pacquiao is tentatively slated to scrap on April 12 against an unnamed opponent at a venue to be determined in the United States.
"I'd fight Manny," said Khan, who was lucky to escape without losing to the 33-year-old Diaz (40-9-1, 29 KOs). "Look, it is business. We are friends and respect each other. But, I would definitely consider the fight, and I am sure he would too."
Pacquiao was named the "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s and Mayweather is one of the premier prizefighters in history.
In stark contrast to Pacquiao and Mayweather, "King Khan" is simply an overrated chandelier.
Without much drama, Amir Khan would get utterly embarrassed by either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao.

28 days, over 128 recipes. One woman and a "pretty ok" kitchen.
The Goals:
1. To help my husband with his severe stomach issues: Gastro Esophageal Reflect Disease a.k.a. GERD and Acid Reflux, and Collagenous colitis. To help him lower his out of control cholesterol, and to help him lose 25 pounds.
2. The Standard American Diet (SAD) just makes me feel depressed and joyless. I want to feel light and happy all of the time! My other goal--to rid myself of my sleep apnea.

Our gracefulness may not have increased the second this skirt was slipped on, but we'll pretend we've still got all the right moves. For an uber-feminine look, pair this skirt with some tights and mary jane heels. The boys will go mad!

Soaring lime prices have some restauranteurs scrambling to adjust.
If you have recently been to the supermarket, you might have noticed that lime prices have recently skyrocketed. According to a recent NPR report, a 40-pound case of limes that normally goes for about $25-$30 a case has climbed to $115 per case. A bad harvest in Mexico this year, due to poor rainfall and disease, is partially to blame for the higher prices.
The same NPR reports also cites that Mexican drug cartels could be a culprit in the inflated prices as well. Cartels have been extorting lime farmers and hijacking lime crops due to their increased value. The value of limes have become so high that the citrus fruit has now become known as "green gold" to some in the industry.
So, how exactly are the higher lime prices affecting your local restaurant?
For some Mexican restaurants where limes are used liberally in cocktails and guacamole, the inflated prices of the citrus could be the most crippling.
A CBS report found that some restaurants are no longer garnishing food and drinks with limes, choosing to stay conservative with lime usage. Popular beers like Corona, traditionally served with a lime wedge, may no longer be served with the citrus fruit.
And some cocktails drinks that require heavy amounts of fresh-squeezed lime juice, like the gimlet, may be taken temporarily off the cocktail menu until prices subside.
Some restaurants have no choice but to continue to use fresh limes in drinks like the margarita, where there is no apt substitute for the taste of fresh-squeezed lime juice. And for now, according to a Zagat report, most restaurants haven't raised prices on popular items like the margarita just yet, electing to take the profit hit instead instead of passing on escalating prices to customers.
For restaurants and lime lovers, there could be a silver lining ahead. David Karp recently speculated in The New York Times that the lime shortage could be only temporary, citing that as the younger lime crop matures, prices should settle back down by summertime.

The body of a woman was found several days after she was beaten and stabbed to death inside her home in Gwinnett County. And police eight years later said they have found the man they believe killed her — and it was her neighbor who disappeared after her murder.
Investigators have obtained a warrant for murder against 26-year-old Gerson Salmeron-Diaz in the 2008 slaying of 58-year-old Margaret Binkele, Gwinnett County police said Tuesday. Now they have to wait until he serves his time in a federal prison in New Mexico before bringing him back to face the murder charge in Georgia.
On July 25, 2008, Binkele was discovered dead in her home at 5245 Heather Pines Drive in Sugar Hill, police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said. She had been dead for several days when her body was found, he said.
An autopsy revealed that she had been beaten, stabbed, and suffered a severe head injury, Smith said. During the autopsy a sexual assault kit was completed which resulted in the collection of an unknown DNA profile, he said.
The DNA profile was entered into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), but when there were no hits, the case was moved to a "cold case" status, Smith said.
On March 20, detectives finally received a CODIS "hit" - a match with the DNA had been located in the database, Smith said. The matching DNA belonged to Salmeron-Diaz, Binkele's neighbor at the time of the murder, he said. Salmeron-Diaz was not in the area during the period of the investigation, police said.
During the time between the murder and CODIS hit, Salmeron-Diaz had been deported to El Salvador following an unrelated arrest, police said. He made his way back into the country and was arrested again on Dec. 11, 2013 in Arizona, Smith said.
Salmeron-Diaz and five other suspects were caught by U.S. Park Rangers transporting nearly 400 pounds of marijuana, Smith said. Salmeron-Diaz's DNA was entered into CODIS following his conviction.
Cold Case Unit detectives traveled to New Mexico where the 26-year-old was being held in a federal prison, Smith said. They interviewed him and obtained a DNA sample to be used as confirmation of the CODIS hit, he said.
Detectives returned to Georgia and, as a result of their follow-up investigation, obtained a warrant for murder for Salmeron-Diaz.
Salmeron-Diaz remains in custody at the Cibola County Correctional Center in Milan, New Mexico Tuesday, Smith said. He will be transported to Gwinnett County to face the murder charge upon his release, the spokesman said.

You're a wife, and even though you enjoy your role as a wife, over the years, you've found yourself testing your limitations in your marriage. It's only normal that you are still getting to know your husband, and there are two ways you're familiarizing yourself with him:
- By talking with him.
- By testing your limitations with him.
Testing your limitations doesn't mean you're a bad wife; it simply means you're human. Oftentimes, women tests their husbands to get answers to questions they believe their husbands wouldn't be truthful in answering and to get answers to questions they are too ashamed or afraid to ask their husbands.
Nowadays, Facebook is a major part of the lives of many couples, and many marriages have ended because of inappropriate behaviors exercised on Facebook, as well as other media sites. Oftentimes, such behaviors are indicative of problems in the marriage or problems in the woman herself. But what behaviors are un-wife like, and what does these behaviors often indicate? Below are seven un-wife-like behaviors that are Un-Christlike.
1. Posting up pictures of your derriere or cleavage. Sure, you may be fully clothed, and you're proud of your round rump and voluptuous breasts....but why are you advertising yourself as if you are available? Oftentimes, when we see this behavior, it is done from a woman who's been hurt by her husband, and her pictures are designed to draw lustful comments from oversexed men. The purpose of these comments is to show the husband that other men are interested in her. It is a silent threat that is designed to scream a clear message into an adulterous husband's almost deafened ears: "I can do what you've done, and I have a pick of men to do it with! You may not realize what you've got, but they do!" If there was no adulterous affair, such photos can often indicate that the wife either has low self-esteem and gets a boost every time someone compliments her or she may be dealing with a spirit of lust. If she is dealing with lust, this is often indicative of the presence of another soul tie in her, maybe from an adulterous affair she's had or a previous relationship.
Question: Would you hand a picture of your derriere or cleavage to JESUS? If on Judgment Day, GOD was to tell you to bring HIM ten photos of yourself from when you were in the earth realm, would you take him those photos you have posted up on Facebook?
2. Posting up pictures of other men and referring to them as "sexy." Now, this is gonna enrage quite a few wives, and many will say that their husbands are "secure within themselves" and know that they are simply admiring from afar. Sure, it's a great thing for a couple to understand that they will be attracted to other people while married; that's normal. At the same time, it's great to be able to express how you truly feel with your husband, but what is not Godly is to lust after other men....period! It goes against the WORD of GOD. "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). I understand that you see the word "man" and "her" and you think you're exempt, but you're not. Anytime the Bible refers to "man", it is referring to both man and woman, but with man being the head, GOD always addresses men first and foremost. Anytime you open the door for lust, you can't limit that spirit's behaviors. Imagine that you could see the spirit of lust, and it came to visit you. You explain to that spirit that your husband and you have an arrangement that you believe makes you look "secure" in your marriage. You tell that spirit that you're going to be posting up pictures of men and referring to them as "sexy." You tell that spirit that you want to use it while you lust after those other men, but under one condition: That spirit is not to enter into your husband or invite its buddy Adultery into your marriage. After all, you believe you can control yourself while being enticed by that spirit, but you think the hubby would go overboard if enticed. That's foolish thinking. It's simple. You are a wife; therefore, the only man you should want to "oil down" or lie with is your husband. Lust destroys marriages; it doesn't strengthen them, contrary to popular belief.
This behavior doesn't always indicate that adultery has been committed (at least externally), but it is often indicative of an uncovered head at home (the husband). He has likely exercised disrespectful behaviors towards his wife, and the wife came on-board with his behaviors. It is always better to respect one another than it is to justify disrespecting one another and calling your behavior the showmanship of a secure woman in a "grown-up" relationship.
Question: Would you say to JESUS, "Oh LORD, look at this man's picture. Isn't he sexy," and not shiver at the sound of a lightning bolt?
3. Posting up pictures of lingerie or any sexually charged uniforms you intend to wear for your spouse. Remember, the marriage bed is undefiled. Is the marriage bed that wooden piece of furniture in your bedroom with the mattress sitting atop it? No! The marriage bed is your mind. That's why GOD warns us that even lusting after another person is adultery. It means to not even entertain the thought of adultery. So, why are you online attempting to show everyone what your husband's "about to get?" Why are you attempting to get other men to lust after you? After all, that's what you're doing. We get it. You're married, so the two of you have sex....just like most married couples. This behavior is a resounding alarm that often indicates that another soul tie is present in you and you're attempting to show whomever that man is who hurt you what he's missing out on. I can guarantee you that if you are doing this, your profile is public OR you have some of your old boyfriend's friends or family members on your friend's list, and you are hoping that he will access your page through them.
Question: Would you show those pictures to your Pastor? What about the LORD?
4. Speaking of having sex or your intent to have sex with your husband. Why? Again, when you're married, everyone knows what you're doing with your husband. Sex is something people know about, but should not see unless they are engaged in it. Publicly announcing your plans to have sex with your husband is soft porn designed to invite others into your bedroom through their minds' eye, and this behavior is ungodly, disrespectful and the evidence of the presence of another soul tie. Why do women do such things when another soul tie is present? Just like animals, women subconsciously rank the men they've been with. Some men rank higher than others simply because of their stature, income, good looks, charming personality or the rank of the devil that inhabits them. (Let's keep it real). Because of this, the soul tie with one man may be stronger than the soul tie with another man. For example, a woman who openly speaks of having sex with her husband to others would not engage in that behavior if she was with the man she has the greatest soul tie with. Why? Because she'd be satisfied at home and feel no need to advertise herself. In advertising herself, she hasn't completely taken herself off the market just yet. She may be faithful in her body, but she's definitely not faithful in her mind.
Question: Would you call a prayer line and tell them that you're about to have sex with your husband and you need prayer to help you get through the ordeal? In your prayers, do you tell the LORD that you're about to or have had sex with your husband? Why? Because you know you can't seduce the LORD, but you can invite a chastening.
5. Advertising your problems at home. Sure, marriage is a roller coaster ride where you sometimes feel high enough to reach Heaven or low enough to warm your feet in hell, but it is never a good idea to tell a bunch of strangers that you're having a fight with your husband. Why is this? It oftentimes invites people to give you bad advice, and it displays a wide-open door in your marriage; one where devils can come and go as they please. Every problem at home should be discussed at home or with your Pastor, but never on social media. Advertising your problems at home often indicates that the strong man (your husband) is bound and you are trying to rid your home of whatever dark forces that have entered it. You've tried everything you can think of, and now, you're crying out for outside help. The best way to deal with a bound husband is to bind whatever force is binding him. "Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house" (Matthew 12:29).
Question: Would you hire Satan to be your marriage counselor? That's what you're doing every time you advertise your problems at home on social media sites.
6. Posting that infamous seductive look or the kissy lips. Who are you trying to seduce and why are you trying to seduce them? Sure, your hair looked great and your lips looked really inviting on that photo, but there's one problem you forgot to consider: You're married. Oftentimes, this behavior is exercised by a woman trying to get a rise out of her husband. She's testing his limits to see what is allowable or not allowable within their marriage. Additionally, it is oftentimes a revenge tactic designed to get the attention of a husband she feels has disrespected her. Lastly, a seductive look is oftentimes an open invitation; the evidence of a lustful spirit attached to that woman. While the husband may have become numb to and not notice his wife's open invitation posted on social media sites, other men will notice because the spirit of lust gives off an undeniable scent and its look is memorable. Remember male dogs can smell a female dog in heat from up to a mile away, just as an ungodly man can spot an adulteress from halfway around the world.
Question: Imagine this. You've just passed away and you're at the Pearly gates of Heaven. GOD tells your husband to bring him five pictures of you, and those pictures would determine whether you'd dance around in Heaven or slow roast in Hell; would you want him to take the LORD those seductive-looking photos of you?
7. Flirting with other men. Flirting with someone other than your spouse is an obvious offense against the spouse, but it's still done. Flirting is one of those behaviors that many women (and men) convince themselves that they are not guilty of. After all, that poke you sent on Facebook was harmless; right? Even though you're attracted to the man you've poked, you tell yourself you're simply playing with him, but you're not. You're flirting with him. How can you tell if you're flirting? If you're engaging in behaviors that you know would offend or hurt your spouse, you're likely flirting. If you wouldn't engage in these behaviors while in the presence of your spouse, you're likely flirting. Again, this behavior is oftentimes indicative of the presence of an unsevered soul tie with another man or other men.
Question: Would you flirt with another man if JESUS was walking with you? Guess what? HE lives in you!
Of course, this list doesn't cover ALL of the un-wife like behaviors, but it does touch on many of the crimes against a spouse that we see everyday on websites like Facebook and Instagram. Oftentimes, we as women have to remind ourselves that we can't place limitations on our husbands or future husbands that we aren't willing to honor. Flirting or inviting someone to flirt with us, whether it be through verbal or visual communication, is wrong. All the same, if you wouldn't do or think a thing in the presence of the LORD, then you know it's wrong, whether you admit to it or not. We must always conduct ourselves as women of GOD, and deal with our problems at home in a Godly manner.
But what if you've engaged in any of these behaviors, and you don't see anything wrong with them, nor does your spouse complain? My advice to you is to ask the LORD what HE has to say, and not be led by your flesh. Sure, making changes in our minds and lifestyles is oftentimes unwelcomed and challenging, but without change, we can't expect to go any further than where we are and where we've already been. We must always be willing to embrace uncomfortable changes in our minds until they become comfortable lifestyle habits that we're accustomed to. A wife who doesn't grow anywhere won't go anywhere.
Also, please be very honest with yourself and GOD. Many marriages end because the wife is still bound by soul ties with other men, and these soul ties can be easily seen through a woman's dress code, speech, behaviors and associations. In order to be delivered from ungodly thinking and demonic strongholds, we must always be willing to submit our whole hearts to GOD, without hiding anything from HIM or holding anything back. If you're still in love with another man, tell GOD about it and ask to be delivered from that soul tie. If your husband has disrespected you in any way, ask GOD to put forgiveness in your heart towards your husband and renounce vengeful thinking. Not forgiving him means that you are rejecting him as your covering, and you've lowered him so you could deal with the anger and hurt that's inside of you. This is out of order because CHRIST is your husband's head; therefore, you should always address unresolved issues with the LORD and let HIM deal with your husband. You can never truly punish a husband. You can hurt him; you can scare him, and you can reject him, but you can't punish him. Vengeance belongs to GOD, and anytime a human being tries to hold it, they end up getting burned.
Finally, if you're married to a worldly man, you're going to engage in worldly behaviors because your head (husband) is leading you there. Women who have ungodly husbands often engage in ungodly behaviors in an attempt to keep, pleasure and punish their husbands. You're going to desire to make your husband happy; that's normal and it's biblical. "There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband" (1 Corinthians 7:34).
Always remember this: If you've married the wrong man, you are now charged with trying to win his soul for the LORD. You can't win his soul if you're wandering around in sin looking for answers. Anytime you give yourself to an ungodly man, you lose your witness with that man, and that's why the LORD charges you with displaying Godly behavior rather than always attempting to win him through your speech. "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives" (1 Peter 3:1).
Remember: A man can't take fire into his bosom and not be burned, just as you can't play with sin and not taste death.
P.S. Dear Husbands: Be on the lookout for the Un-Husband Like List.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Playing as a hero or villain in a video game can affect how you act in the real world, according to a new study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Researchers asked 194 participants to complete two seemingly unrelated tasks. First, they were randomly assigned to play a videogame as Superman (a hero), Voldemort (a villain), or a circle (neutral). After playing for 5 minutes, participants were then asked to pour a portion of either chocolate or a spicy chili sauce for a future participant, and told they would consume the entire thing. Those who played the videogame as Voldemort poured nearly twice as much chili sauce than chocolate, and those who played
"In virtual environments, people can freely choose avatars that allow them to opt into or opt out of a certain entity, group, or situation," lead researcher Gunwoo Yoon was quoted as saying. "Consumers and practitioners should remember that powerful imitative effects can occur when people put on virtual masks."

We've been noticing a huge trend in magazines and on decorating websites. Bell jars are popping up everywhere! We see them covering cheese, showcasing delicate desserts, and even displaying creative crafts. We're particularly taken with this Demijon Cloche Clear Plate Cover (inquire for price). We love the fact that each cover is crafted from a repurposed vintage bottle, meaning each cover is unique.

(sorry if that didn't make sense) I just read some of the comments left on some sims website and it did make me wonder why they would release 2 stuff packs so close together. Again, until it's announced officially everything is still just rumours and speculations but IF it is true what do you feel about it?
I personally hope that it's true and that they add clothing for males and other age groups on the diesel stuff pack.
crystal91390 wrote:I guess I should have worded that differently, what I meant by "real" is for example we're supposed to get 10 stuff packs throughout the whole TS3 series we already have 5 stuff packs out (High End, Fast Lane, Outdoor Living, Town Life, Master Suites) and now we're getting KPSP which would be the 6th SP out. But there are also rumours of a Diesel stuff pack that is rumoured to come out a month after Sweet Treats which is weird, so IF it is true then that must mean that KPSP is basically a 'bonus' stuff pack. Which makes me extremely happy since I don't feel like I'm missing out on a stuff pack if I decide to not purchase KPSP, since another one would be coming out shortly after.

Obviously the SP team works from the release of one SP to the next and when we saw the live chat they did not have months of work done on this 'mega pack' they were offering.
Makes sens the Diesel would have been all but complete by the time the KPST pack came into being so July would not be a release date that would be hard to make.
I think they thought that making an extra SP with KP involved would be a big seller coming right after ST and so dropped what they were doing to build one around her.
If this is true then at least we are not 'losing' out on the planned SP for sims even if we don't get KPST.

Typing for histocompatibility antigen (HLA)-B27 has been suggested as a clinically valuable diagnostic test for ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter's syndrome, although some decry its use for this purpose. Diagnoses can be made in most patients with these diseases on the basis of the history, physical examination, and roentgenographic findings. The B27 test cannot be used to screen an asymptomatic population to detect these diseases and should not be thought of as a routine diagnostic test. We present probability graphs derived from Bayes' theorem, which show that for certain patients the B27 test, when used properly, is of clinical value as an aid to diagnosis. Proper application of the B27 test in clinical medicine is discussed. The test result does not absolutely confirm or exclude the presence of these diseases; it merely provides a probability statement on their existence in the patient. The test is therefore most useful to physicians who understand the use of probability reasoning in clinical decision making.

Seattle Mariners 2016 News and Updates
The Seattle Mariners have a tough road ahead of them, especially after losing catcher Steve Clevenger to an injury in yesterday's match with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Mariners will need all the support they can get, so head to Safeco Field on Saturday, July 2, to cheer on your team. Tickets to the game are already available and can be purchased starting at prices as low as $10. Don't miss it!

June will be an important month for the Seattle Mariners. After a strong end to May that saw the club reach 10 games above .500, a string of losses against the division leading Texas Rangers has the team falling back in the AL West standings. The issue hasn't been the club's offense, as Seattle has been scoring at a decent clip, including a 16-run outburst in San Diego. If the Mariners want to have a shot at the division, however, they'll need to figure out their pitching. Fans hope things will get back on track when Seattle hosts the Cardinals for a three-game interleague set, starting on June 24. Tickets for the first game are available for as low as $18.
A surge to the top of the MLB rankings is in store for the Seattle Mariners after their impressive performance on the road so far this season. Their success away from home includes two series wins against the Orioles and the Reds last week. Winning four of six games boosted Seattle's win percentage to .591 and puts them in the No. 1 spot in the American League West. Up next, the Mariners will head home to take on the Twins this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (May 27-29) at Safeco Field in Seattle. Tickets start at just $16, so there's no excuse to stay home this weekend. Get your tickets today!
Week five of MLB play has been really good for the Seattle Mariners. They're off to their best start since 2011, winning their last six series and boosting their record to 18-13. The power rankings have them listed in the American League as the team in third for overall record, second for homers with 42 so far, and first for two-out RBIs. All this comes after a disappointing start which made fans worry things wouldn't go well this season. The Mariners play a series at home this weekend (May 12-14) against the Los Angeles Angels, and we have a great selection of seats at Safeco Field available for purchase now. Prices start at just $17, so there's no reason to sit these games out!
The Seattle Mariners are looking red hot and sitting at first place in the American League West with a 10-9 record. In fact, they have won five out of the last six of their games, most of which have been on the road. Seattle returned home yesterday to take on the Houston Astros in the first of three games. Although Houston gave the Mariners a slight scare in the top of the eighth with the threat of a comeback, Seattle was able to remain calm and secure the 3-2 win. The Mariners' next game is tonight at 7:10 p.m. We still have limited quantities of tickets available for $22 and up.
In one of their final Spring Training games, the Mariners lost 7-5 to the Padres, but there was some promising plays. Felix Hernandez was strong on the mound as he tuned up for his start on Opening Day. He pitched for three innings, during which he only gave up four hits and four runs. The Mariners have a day off on March 31 before having their final Cactus League games on April 1 and 2 against the Rockies. Then, they head to Texas for Opening Day game against the Rangers on April 4. They finally come home for their home opener on April 8 when they host the Athletics. You can still get tickets for all games, including the Home Opener, starting at $35.
3/18/16 - The wait for the new season is nearly over. The Seattle Mariners are gearing up for action. With the season opener less than three weeks away, fans are waiting to see what they can learn about this upcoming year from the preseason. So far, the Mariners have won eight games and lost eight games, so fans may just have to wait for the season to kick off on April 4th. Their home opener, however, will be on April 8th against the Oakland Athletics. Tickets are available starting as low as $43. If you want to get in on the action sooner, secure your spot in the stand of the next preseason matchup on March 20th.
2015 Season
9/24/15 - The Seattle Mariners went 2-1 in a three game series against the Rangers before starting off a three game series against the Royals with an 11-2 victory. The Mariners started the game off with two runs in the top of the first inning, but the third inning was where they showed their mettle, scoring seven runs. The Mariners had five total home runs during the game, including two from Robinson Cano. Despite the strong show, the next night the Royals went home the victor in a close game that went ten innings. The two teams play once more on the 24th, and then the Mariners head to Anaheim to play the Angels for three games starting on the 25th. You can still get tickets, with prices as low as $13.
9/17/15 - The Seattle Mariners had a stretch where they were working their way up their division, but they seem to have seen a stand still as they approached an even win/loss record. They now sit at 71-76. Because they have won every other matchup for the last seven games, that ratio has not changed. As the post season approaches, they need to start racking up some wins to make it. The Mariners now enter an away series, so this change of scenery may be what they need. Regardless, they will return for their final series of home games on September 28th. With a total of six matches remaining in Seattle, your opportunities to see the Mariners live are running out. Get your tickets now and cheer them to the victory they need.
9/10/15 - The Seattle Mariners are on a roll. They ran into a little trouble as soon as they returned to their home field, but that cleared up quickly and they began dominating again. Their two tight losses against the Teas Rangers did cost them a five-game winning streak, but they followed them up by shutting the Rangers out in back to back matchups. This amazing feat is sure to just be the beginning as the Mariners start to gain momentum. If they keep this up, they will start to make their way back up the division rankings. Up next, they will be playing the Colorado Rockies, followed by the Los Angeles Angles. After this series of home games ends, only one remains before the season comes to a close.
9/1/15 - The Seattle Mariners went 2-2 in the latest four game series against the White Sox. During the second game, the Mariners shut out the White Sox. The next night was a more even battle. The Mariners started out with three runs in the top of the first and by the eighth inning were ahead 7-2. The White Sox rallied, scoring four runs that inning. The Mariners were able to hold onto their one run lead to win. The next night was another close battle, this time remaining tied until the White Sox scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th. The Mariners started out their first of three games against the Astros with a loss. They play again on the 1st and 2nd. You can still get tickets, with prices as low as $8.
8/26/15 - After losing the first of three games against the Athletics, the Seattle Mariners came back to win the other two to take the series. In the second game, the Athletics seemed to have the win after a four run second inning that brought the score to 5-0. However, the Mariners had three runs in the fourth, followed by another three in the fifth to take the lead. They were able to maintain the lead for the rest of the game to take the victory. The next night, the Mariners came out swinging for a four run first inning, and they went on to easily win 8-2. The Mariners next head to Chicago to play four games against het White Sox starting on the 27th. You still have a chance to get tickets, with prices starting at $3.
8/18/15 - The Seattle Mariners were doing well, but they seem to be struggling slightly since heading out on the road. Before leaving, they had won three of their last four games, even managing to completely shut the Baltimore Orioles out in their final match. After heading to Boston, the Mariners were only able to win one game in the three-match set. They are headed to Texan next to take on the Rangers, but they have already lost the first game. Hopefully the Mariners will be able to turn it around as the set continues. Luckily, it won't be long at all until they are back on their own field, so they should be back to racking up victories soon. Tickets for their first game back, on August 21st, start at $16.
8/14/15 - The Seattle Mariners have been inconsistent since they returned to their home field. They have won exactly half of their matchups and they have not managed to win two in a row. Being 52-61 and fourth for their division, the Mariners cannot afford to just break even. There are just a couple home games before they hit the road again, so hopefully they will be able to build up a little momentum before having to play without the home field advantage. Luckily, this will be a relatively short series of away games. The Mariners will return on August 21st to host the Chicago White Sox. Get your tickets for their homecoming game early to save. Tickets currently are available for as little as just $14.
8/6/15 - The Seattle Mariners are building up a winning streak after winning the past three games in a row. After going back and forth against the Twins in a four game series, the Mariners won the first two games in a three game series against the Rockies. The first night saw the Mariners get an early lead after a four run first inning. The Rockies rallied, but were not able to take the win from the Mariners. The next night, the Mariners took a bigger lead for the 10-4 win. Nelson Cruz had a homer, which was his fifth strait game in which he homered. The two teams meet again on the 5th, and then the Mariners head home to host the Rangers on the 7th. You can still get your tickets, with prices as low as $15.
7/30/15 - The Seattle Mariners may be at the bottom of the pack in the AL West Division, but not by much. They are behind the Athletics by only one win and the Rangers by a mere two wins. In their most recent four-game series against the Detroit Tigers, the Mariners and Tigers split games giving each team two wins and two losses. On July 23, the Mariners were able to pull off a close win against the Tigers ending the game with a 3-2 lead. This weekend the Mariners take on the Toronto Blue Jays on their home field. Tickets for all three games are still up for grabs and ticket prices start around $22 a piece. If you are busy this weekend, the Mariners have some weekday games coming up versus the Arizona Diamondbacks starting on July 27.

If you are busy this weekend, the Mariners have some weekday games coming up versus the Arizona Diamondbacks starting on July 27.
7/17/15 - The Seattle Mariners' most recent games continue to go back and forth from winning one to losing one. They went 2-2 against the Angles in their most recent four game series. The Mariners won the first game 7-2, with a 19-hit barrage and a leadoff homer by Logan Morrison. The next night, they were unable to beat the Angles, even after getting another run in the first inning. During the third game, the Mariners once again won, this time with a three-hit shutout thinks to eight innings by Hisashi Iwakuma. The next night, the Angles came back and won 10-3. The Mariners will look to win more than one game in a row when they head to New York to play three games against the Yankees, starting on July 17. You can get tickets for as low as $18.
7/10/15 - The Mariners' return to Seattle was a little rocky as they took a rough 12-5 defeat at the hands of the Detroit Tigers. Fortunately, they were back on their feet quick and came right back with a 6-7 victory the very next day. One game remains in this set, and then the Seattle Mariners will take on the Los Angeles Angels. After that set, they will be hitting the road once again, so be sure to take this opportunity to catch them live while you can. If you want to see how the Tigers set concludes, tickets start at $21, while you can attend the opener against the Angels for as little as $17. You last chance to see them in action will be on July 12th.
7/3/15 - The Seattle Mariners continue through their series of away games. After struggling slightly against the Los Angeles Angels, the Mariners fared better against the San Diego Padres. In fact, Seattle managed to keep the Padres from scoring in both of their matchups. However, upon meeting with the Oakland Athletics, they failed to score themselves. It remains to be seen if this was a single instance or if it will be a pattern. Regardless, the Mariners will return to Seattle on July 6th to take on the Detroit Tigers. They should be back at the top of their game then. You can attend that game and welcome the Mariner back home for as little as $13. They will have a few sets before hitting the road again, so you have plenty of opportunities to see them live.
6/25/15 - The Seattle Mariners went 1-2 in their recent three game series against the Royals. In the first game, the Mariners scored quickly with a run in the first inning. However, the Royals came back with two runs in the top of the second, and the Mariners were unable to get back on the board. The Mariners came out the next night ready to win. Mike Montgomery pitched 10 strikeouts and shut out the Royals. Dustin Ackley and Logan Morrison hit homers, and the team had 10 hits and seven runs. They were unable to carry this victory over to the next night, losing 8-2. The Mariners head to Anaheim next for a three game series against the Angels, starting on the 26. You can still get your tickets, with prices starting at $8.
6/19/15 - In Wednesday's Seattle Mariners game, Austin Jackson tripled, allowing Mike Zunino to score. When Robinson Cano doubled in the same inning, Jackson scored, giving the Mariners two runs, while shutting out the Giants. The Mariners are 5-5 in their last ten, with a 30-36 record, for fourth in the AL West. They have a run of home games in the upcoming week, and Safeco Field will be hopping as the Mariners host the Astros starting on Friday (6/19). There's still great seats available for the games on Saturday and Sunday with prices beginning at $13. You'll want to get your tickets to one of the three games starting on Monday against the Kansas City Royals. Enjoy an evening of fun when you come down to the stadium to cheer your home team.
6/9/15 - After a seven game losing streak, the Seattle Mariners finally got a win in Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The homer in the seventh from Austin Jackson put the Mariners ahead 2-1, and Seattle held Tampa back from earning another run. Seattle has a 26-32 record, and they're just seven games behind the AL West leader, the Houston Astros. The Mariners are out on the road over the weekend and in the upcoming week, before finally returning to Safeco Field on Wednesday (6/17) for games against the San Francisco Giants. Tickets start at just $17, and you'll want to cheer your home town on to the win. Help them get their momentum going before the Houston Astros come to town, so the Mariners can put some games in their win column.
6/5/15 - The Seattle Mariners have still not recovered from their losing slump that began when they took on the Cleveland Indians. While the Mariners were able to rally and take one victory against Cleveland, they have not won since then. Seattle is now up to six consecutive losses, including an entire set against the New York Yankees. The upcoming matchups with the Tampa Bay Rays are especially important. If the Mariners cannot change their luck here, their losing streak may continue on the road and span numerous matchups. If you would like to come out and cheer them to their first victory in more than a week, you can get tickets for their next game for as little as $10. Help them make their stand and turn it around.
5/28/15 - The Seattle Mariners had a three-game winning streak on the boards until the Cleveland Indians came to town. In the first game of a four-game series, the Indians' pitcher struck out 13 Mariners and held them to only three runs while picking up five. The Mariners continue the series against the Indians throughout the weekend. Get out to Safeco Field and cheer for the home team. Tickets for Sunday's (5/31) game start at $17. The Mariners will be on home field for the next week, hosting the New York Yankees for three games beginning Monday (6/1). Relax after work while enjoying the camaraderie of the fans in the stadium. With ticket prices starting at $11, you and a friend could have a great evening while watching your favorite team.
5/15/15 - The Seattle Mariners are on fire, having won their last four games in a row. They swept the three game series against the Athletics and have won the first of two games against the Padres. Against the Padres, the Mariners came out strong, with four runs in the first inning. They went on to score seven more for an 11-4 victory. The win was the first for James Paxton. The team had a total of six home runs, with two by catcher Mike Zunino and the rest by Nelson Cruz, Kyle Seager, Logan Morrison, and Justin Ruggiano. After the final game against the Padres on May 13, the Mariners host the Red Sox for a four game series starting the 14th. Tickets remain available, with prices starting at $16.
5/8/15 - This series of away games started out promising for the Seattle Mariners, but they have really been struggling recently. First, the Mariners lost in each of the four games against the Houston Astros. Heartbreakingly, they lost 6-7, and that one point that decided the game was scored in the eighth inning. Things looked like they were improving when the Mariners won in the opening match against the Los Angeles Angels, but Seattle could not repeat their victory in the second two matches. This string of bad luck sees the Mariners lose six of their last seven games. Hopefully that is all behind them because they are finally back on their own field. The Mariners will play the Oakland Athletic in their first home games in more than two weeks starting May 8th.
4/29/15 - A ten-day trip for the Seattle Mariners has started with a 3-1 victory over the Texas Rangers, thanks to great pitching from Taijuan Walker, who threw a killer fastball in the Monday night game. The young player lasted seven innings, threw 62 strikes, struck out five and had just six hits. After going hitless in 13 at bats on Sunday, the Mariners broke that unwelcome streak with an RBI from Nelson Cruz. After a throwing error on a groundball which should have been a double play, Cano sprinted home making it 2-0 for Seattle. Their last run came from Justin Ruggiano who was able to make it home after a single from Smith. Up next for the Mariners are two series against the Astros and the Angels before they head home to take on the Athletics.
4/24/15 - After two disappointing losses, the Seattle Mariners turned it around and won the third game of their series against the Astros with a 2-3 final score. The Mariners J.A. Happ struck out five and didn't give up any walks over the seven and one-third innings that he pitched to give him his first win. Catcher Mike Zunino homered in the third. On Friday (4/24), Safeco Field will be busy with Mariners' fans when they host the Minnesota Twins in a three-game series over the weekend. Tickets start at $17 for Friday's game. There are still plenty of great seats available all over the ballpark. After Sunday's game, the Mariners go out on the road, so come down and show your support while your favorite team is in town.
4/14/15 - It has been one week since the 2015 MLB regular season began, and the Seattle Mariners are off to a 3-3 start. After beating the Angels 4-1 in the season opener, they lost the remaining two games in the series to the Los Angeles team. After that, they took a trip to Oakland, where they beat the Athletics in two out of three, including one match that went to 11 innings. Many eyes have been on Taijuan Walker since the preseason began, but his debut performance wasn't quite up to par and he was relieved of pitching duties in the seventh inning. This weekend, Seattle fans can enjoy a weekend of baseball as the Mariners take on the Texas Rangers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We have your tickets starting at just $15.
4/3/15 - If ESPN's prediction pans out, it could be a very good summer in Seattle in 2015, as the Mariners are projected by them to win the American League West. After falling just short of the playoffs last year, and being in contention going down to the final days of the season, the M's will be looking to end a 13-season playoff drought.
3/18/15 - With a devastating loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in what may have been a World Series preview match up last weekend, the Seattle Mariners will need to get back to playing at peak performance if they want to make it to the championship. Much of their chances rest on the health of star pitcher James Paxton, who has been out with a minor forearm injury since the beginning of the spring. He hopes to return before the start of the regular season, with the possibility of returning as early as next week. Paxton says he has been doing hot yoga in the off-season, which helps to control his heart rate. He finds that if his heart starts racing on the mound, he can use yoga practice to control his breathing and lower his heart rate so he can calm down.
3/6/15 - The Seattle Mariners threatened to make the American League West a three-horse race from much of the 2014 season, and were in contention for the wild card until the final days of the season. This year, though, the M's have their sights set higher, behind the arms of "King Felix" Hernandez, Hisashi Iwakuma, and the bats of Robinson Cano and slugger Kyle Seager.
2/13/15 - The Seattle Mariners were given the short end of the stick last season and it looks like history might be repeating itself. The Mariners are looking at the most travel time out of any MLB team, with more than 2,000 more miles traveled than the next closest team. As the 2015 season starts, Seattle is already at a huge disadvantage. They can absolutely make up the difference through hard work, however, but they need the support of their fans cheering them to victory to even things out. Their season starts on April 6th when they take on the Los Angeles Angels, but then they will be travelling all the way to Oakland to play the Athletics. Catch their home opener before they leave for only $34.
Get Cheap Seattle Mariners Tickets at Razorgator
New Team, New Year
It's time to send out that familiar call to the Mariner faithful throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Major League Baseball season is almost upon us, and there are still plenty of cheap Seattle Mariners tickets available for the home opening series against division rivals the Oakland A's. Manager Scott Servais will once again rely heavily on proven stars Felix Hernandez, Robinson Cano, and Nelson Cruz to help the M's rise up and mount a challenge for the AL West crown.
Detailing the Mariner's Offseason Shakeup
2015 saw the Mariners fall to a disappointing fourth place finish in 2015 after having shown so much promise in finishing third the previous year. This prompted new GM Jerry Dipoto to take action the moment he stepped into the office last September. While he may not have completely overhauled the roster, Dipoto certainly shook things up, most notably through moves such as:
… more
Trading for Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Adam Lind
Re-signing pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma after his failed free-agent deal with the Dodgers
Trading for Boston Red Sox pitcher Wade Miley
Lind brings in another strong bat to the lineup, and can platoon at first base and DH with Jesus Montero. Miley and Iwakuma are sure to help shore up the starting pitching rotation after Hernandez. If other additions to the bullpen can help return it to its league-leading production, then the Mariners should be poised to compete in 2016.
Discount tickets for seats at Safeco Field start at only $34. You'll want to be there on April 8th when your M's take the field for the first time at home on 2016.

Here's Johnny!: Clever Crazy Jack 'The Shining' Cosplay
I don't normally like posting single pictures of single cosplay costumes because it makes me feel cheap and dirty, but I couldn't resist this one. "GW? You ARE cheap and dirty." God, I really am, aren't I? How I'm not turning tricks in an alleyway is beyond me. This is a costume of Jack Torrance (portrayed by Jack Nicholson) in his famous 'Here's Johnny!' scene from 'The Shining'. You know, I actually see a lot of myself in Jack's character. "The whole struggling writer thing?" What? No. The whole crazed psychopath thing. My God do I love swinging an axe at loved ones.
Thanks to Pebbles, who agrees there's something charming about an axe-wielding murderer. *spraying breath freshener* You don't say?

This round mango wood design stands apart from typical shelves, giving it a decorative component in addition to serving a functional purpose. It's called a Shape Wall Shelf ($299), but as any preschool student could tell you, the shape in question is a circle. (If you didn't know it was a circle, then just skip past this item, as you probably have bigger problems than determining how to creatively present your knickknacks.)

I have two ubuntu boxes one in US and another in India and have a 12 Mbps connection. when i copy from using scp the transfer rate is 50KB/s is there a way to increase the speed. these boxes have 4GB ram and a good processor
Your problem here is not with the bandwidth, but latency. The TCP overhead on such a link will cause all sorts of link speed troubles, which you're experiencing. TCP and by proxy SCP/SSH was never meant to work on this kind of link fast, as it's upmost priority is security and reliability of the transfer stream.
There are multiple solutions to the issue.

- Loot found in the wreck of Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes
- Center of a five-year legal battle between U.S. salvage company and Spain
- US firm Odyssey Marine Exploration found the haul in a wreck off Portugal's Atlantic coast in 2007
...Only a tiny portion of the haul from the galleon that sank off Portugal's Atlantic coast near the straits of Gibraltar was shown to the media - 12 individual silver coins, a block of encrusted silver coins stuck together after centuries underwater, two gold tobacco boxes and a bronze pulley.
Authorities who have been inventorying the treasure since it was flown from Florida to Spain in February said it will be transferred later this year from Madrid to the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology in the Mediterranean city of Cartagena.
Displays are expected to start next year, with some items put on rotating temporary displays at museums across the country.
Though previous estimates have put the value of the treasure at $500 million, Spanish officials said they weren't trying to determine an amount because the haul is part of the nation's cultural heritage and can never be sold under Spanish law.
'It's invaluable,' said Elisa de Cabo, the Culture Ministry's deputy director of national heritage.
'How would you put a price on the Mona Lisa?"
Spain took possession of the treasure after courts rejected arguments that Florida-based Odyssey Marine Exploration was entitled to all or most of the treasure.

The June Texas Twitter Tuesday was held live at Jack Allen's in Austin. Jack Gilmore, owner of Jack Allen's restaurant, is a locavore and sources the ingredients for his dishes locally. A natural extension of the locavore movement is the "locapour" movement – serving Texas wines alongside Texas food.
Elizabeth Hadley, Assistant Commissioner of Marketing at the Texas Department of Agriculture, kicked things off, making an announcement about the new "Go Texan or Go Thirsty" program. The program is intended to promote Texas restaurants that serve Texas wine.
The Go Texas or Go Thirsty web site has a card that you can print out and leave with a restaurant. You can use it to thank them for serving Texas wines or to ask them to consider adding Texas wines to their wine list. Jack Allen's received their first "thank you" card tonight. @JackAllen said, "Super proud to offer #TXwines. they're TX farmers first."
The virtual tasting started with the Fall Creek Chardonnay. The chardonnay has tropical and citrus flavors with just a hint of oak. It paired with herb-crusted fried green tomatoes and oak farm ricotta pico from Jack Allen's. @foodiethenew40 posted a picture of the dish.
Fall Creek Wines (@FallCreekWines) started 36 years ago and has become one of the largest wineries in Texas. The grapes for the chardonnay were grown in the Hill Country in Pecos County.
The McPherson Cellars Rose of Syrah was paired with spicy jumbo Gulf shrimp with strawberry salad. @shellgupta tweeted a photo of the shrimp dish. The rose has won several awards.
The rose had a lovely watermelon color and notes of strawberries, cherries, and raspberries. @jackallens said, "Dry, crisp - enjoyable year-round, but especially with the Texas heat that's coming. [uh, here]." @fooddrinklove said that the sweetness of the rose paired well with the spicy smokiness of the shrimp.
The last wine was the Messina Hof Cabernet Franc Private Reserve. It's a blend of 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Shiraz, grown in Cedar Crest Vineyard, four miles from the Red River. It has won gold medals at the San Antonio Express News Competition and the Lone Star International Wine Competition.
Jack Allen's suggested pairing it with grilled meats and spicy sauces. It was paired with the Sous Vide Strube Ranch Waygu tri-tip. @DeniseFraser tweeted this pic of the beef. You can see the deep color of the Messina Hof Cabernet Franc.
June's Texas Twitter Tuesday wrapped up with a reminder that the GoTexas Restaurant Roundup is July 25-31. Go Texan or Go Thirsty.

Newlyweds Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock are expecting a baby. Kelly Clarkson announced her pregnancy news via Twitter on Nov. 19, 2013. Kelly revealed during an interview last week on the "The Tonight Show" that she and her new husband are trying "like rabbits" to get pregnant.
The 31-year-old singer says that she wants to have five kids. Brandon Blackstock has two children from a previous marriage, Savannah is 12, and Seth is 6. Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock were married on Oct. 20, 2013, in Nashville. Blackstock is the son of Kelly Clarkson's manager, Narvel Blackstock, and the stepson of singer Reba McEntire.
The couple decided to elope instead of having a large wedding because they wanted the ceremony to be "intimate."
Kelly Clarkson's publicist, Mika El-Baz, later confirmed the exciting baby news. No word on a due date yet.
Kelly Clarkson's happy tweet a few hours ago, "I'm pregnant!!! Brandon and I are so excited! Best early Christmas present ever :)"

Our daily news stories are now available via weblogs using our RSS Feeder Service. If you have a feed reader or news aggregator, you can click these links to view the RSS feeds in your browser.
In the News
What is RSS?
RSS has several meanings: Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary and RDF Site Summary (RDF stands for Resource Data Framework).
In any case, RSS is a method of summarizing the latest news and information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read by any of a number of news readers or news aggregators. The idea is to give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest news and updates from a site in a headline or news digest format. This in turn helps during high-traffic periods by reducing the load on the servers.
What Do I Need to Use the RSS Feeds?
To use our RSS feeds, you need a feed reader (aka news aggregator) installed on your computer. These applications can be set to read the feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so.
Once you install the feed reader or news aggregator, you can simply add the feed addresses (URLs) to the list of feeds in the reader. The installation instructions for the readers will help you with that. If your news reader or aggregator uses "auto-discovery," simply enter the main site address (eg. http://awic.nal.usda.gov) and it will find the available feeds.

Kim Jong Il, a graduate of Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung University, was 33 when his father anointed him his eventual successor.
Even before he took over as leader, there were signs the younger Kim would maintain — and perhaps exceed — his father's hard-line stance.
South Korea has accused Kim of masterminding a 1983 bombing that killed 17 South Korean officials visiting Burma, now known as Myanmar. In 1987, the bombing of a Korean Air Flight killed all 115 people on board; a North Korean agent who confessed to planting the device said Kim ordered the downing of the plane himself.
Kim took over after his father died in 1994, eventually taking the posts of chairman of the National Defense Commission, commander of the Korean People's Army and head of the ruling Worker's Party while his father remained as North Korea's "eternal president."
He faithfully carried out his father's policy of "military first," devoting much of the country's scarce resources to its troops — even as his people suffered from a prolonged famine — and built the world's fifth-largest military.
Kim also sought to build up the country's nuclear arms arsenal, which culminated in North Korea's first nuclear test explosion, an underground blast conducted in October 2006. Another test came in 2009, prompting U.N. sanctions.
Alarmed, regional leaders negotiated a disarmament-for-aid pact that the North signed in 2007 and began implementing later that year.
However, the process continues to be stalled, even as diplomats work to restart negotiations.
North Korea, long hampered by sanctions and unable to feed its own people, is desperate for aid. Flooding in the 1990s that destroyed the largely mountainous country's arable land left millions hungry.
Following the famine, the number of North Koreans fleeing the country through China rose dramatically, with many telling tales of hunger, political persecution and rights abuses that officials in Pyongyang emphatically denied.
Kim often blamed the U.S. for his country's troubles and his regime routinely derides Washington-allied South Korea as a "puppet" of the Western superpower.
U.S. President George W. Bush, taking office in 2002, denounced North Korea as a member of an "axis of evil" that also included Iran and Iraq. He later described Kim as a "tyrant" who starved his people so he could build nuclear weapons.
"Look, Kim Jong Il is a dangerous person. He's a man who starves his people. He's got huge concentration camps. And ... there is concern about his capacity to deliver a nuclear weapon," Bush said in 2005.
Kim was an enigmatic leader. But defectors from North Korea describe him as an eloquent and tireless orator, primarily to the military units that form the base of his support.
The world's best glimpse of the man was in 2000, when the liberal South Korean government's conciliatory "sunshine" policy toward the North culminated in the first-ever summit between the two Koreas and followed with unprecedented inter-Korean cooperation.
A second summit was held in 2007 with South Korea's Roh Moo-hyun.
But the thaw in relations drew to a halt in early 2008 when conservative President Lee Myung-bak took office in Seoul pledging to come down hard on communist North Korea.
Disputing accounts that Kim was "peculiar," former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright characterized Kim as intelligent and well-informed, saying the two had wide-ranging discussions during her visits to Pyongyang when Bill Clinton was U.S. president.
"I found him very much on top of his brief," she said.
Kim was said to have cultivated wide interests, including professional basketball, cars and foreign films. He reportedly produced several North Korean films as well, mostly historical epics with an ideological tinge.

One 13-year-old California Girl Scout took the organization's pledge to the entrepreneurial level this week: She was fully prepared to take advantage of a gold mine sales opportunity, so she set up shop outside a San Francisco pot dispensary and commenced to selling Girl Scout cookies. Two hours later, she'd sold a whopping 117 boxes.
You know what they say: Location, location, location...
Genius, right?
Danielle Lei, a Girl Scout in the Northern California region of the organization, made the decision with her mother, Carol, Yahoo News reported Feb. 21. Then, with the blessing of the Green Cross (the name of the medical marijuana dispensary), she set up outside the store, offering her wares -- Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Savannah Smiles, and Samoas -- to passersby.
According to Green Cross manager Holli Bert, Danielle had to call to get more cookies delivered after her first 45 minutes in front of the pot dispensary.
Carol Lei said it's the second time she's supervised her daughters while they sold cookies in front of the Green Cross pot dispensary.
Again… genius, right?
Still, it wasn't just pot smokers going in and out of the Green Cross that were buying cookies for the inevitable munchies craving. Employees of the store bought several boxes as well -- because who can resist good cookies for a good cause?
There are some who find the entrepreneurial decision quite inappropriate, though. And in another western state that allows the selling of medical marijuana, the Girl Scouts of Colorado organization felt the need to clarify its position, posting to Twitter: "Consistent with our policy for many years now, @GSColo doesn't allow girls to sell cookies outside of any adult-oriented business…"
And: "...this includes bars, strip clubs, casinos, liquor stores or marijuana dispensaries."
On the national level, Kelly Parisi, chief communications officer from Girl Scouts of the USA, said in a statement (per the Los Angeles Times) that each region of Girl Scouts has its own guidelines.
"All the money stays in local councils," she said, "and they make all decisions on how the cookie program is run. As always, our primary concern is the safety and well-being of the girls we serve. Volunteers and parents are empowered to relocate their booths if conditions change and the location is no longer suitable."
As for California, or at least the Girl Scouts of Northern California (Lei's region), Director of Marketing and Communications Dana Allen said, "To date, we have not attempted to list either "permitted" or "prohibited" locations and have relied on parents and volunteers to make wise decisions for their girls. As always, we evaluate our policies and procedures at the end of each cookie sale and will consider whether further guidelines will be beneficial regarding booth site selection."
Oddly enough, the Green Cross pot dispensary sells a brand of medical marijuana called "Girl Scout Cookie." According to the website Leafly, that particular strain was designed by Berner, a San Francisco native and rapper by trade.
To be fair, Girl Scout cookies sell just about everywhere. But, as Yahoo News pointed out, Danielle Lei also set up shop outside of a Safeway grocery store. She still sold a very respectable 80 boxes of cookies in 2 hours.
Still, almost half again as many boxes were sold outside the medical marijuana store. Can a perceived future munchies attack account for the added demand? Or were there just more people, more traffic, more customers?
Regardless, not everyone sees the making of a few bucks off of hungry potheads as a bad thing. On the Green Cross Facebook page, there's even a play on the famous Dos Equis beer commercials and "the most interesting man in the world," who is captioned in one post saying, "I don't always buy Girl Scout Cookies But when I do, I buy them from the genius outside the Green Cross pot dispensary."
See, even the most interesting man in the world thinks the location of the Girl Scout Cookies enterprise headed by Danielle Lei (and supervised by her mother) was a stroke of genius.
Sometimes, it is all about location. Oh. And heading off an attack of the munchies...

|Love them! I don't use toe pads or anything else, just one of these gels under my big toe and they offer just enough padding. They don't stick for that long (at least not if you take them out and adjust them), but super/hot glue will hold them in forever. They're better than foam/wool (in my opinion) because they don't flatten out and are very durable. You can still "feel the floor" while using them because they aren't that thick. Some girls in my studio use two and cut them to fit the size of their box, which seems to work perfectly. I sometimes double them up when I'm practicing for a long time or performing, but normally just one is enough.
