Coverage from the latest round of the LV= County Championship, as Lancashire and Kent enjoy excellent days.
By Matt Somerford, Glen Robertson & James O'Brien
6.45pm - While some sides have made hay in the sunshine, others have wilted.
Here's how things stand at stumps:
Division One
Nottinghamshire are closing in on an innings-victory against Somerset at Trent Bridge after reducing the visitors to 106 for three in their second knock.
Lancashire eventually declared on 650 for six, Ashwell Prince finishing unbeaten on 257, before reducing Northamptonshire to 113 for seven at Emirates Old Trafford.
Durham are 105 for one second time around with a lead of 237 after bowling Sussex out for 205 at the Emirates Durham ICG.
Yorkshire were bowled out for 422 just before close, giving the leaders a 194-run lead over Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
Division Two
Derbyshire lost 13 wickets as Kent took full control of their match at the Spitfire Ground, leaving the visitors 32 for three following on.
Chris Tremlett fell 10 runs short of a maiden century but Surrey are in the box seat at the Kia Oval after declaring on 522 for nine before leaving Leicestershire 125 for three.
On day three at Bristol, Glamorgan are 569 for seven in reply to Gloucestershire's 391 with a declaration likely in the morning.
6.31pm - Somerset have closed on 106 for three, still 187 runs behind Nottinghamshire, while Durham will resume their second innings on 105 for one and with a lead of 237 against Sussex.
6.21pm - It's stumps at Canterbury after Derbyshire lose their 13th wicket of the day, part-timer Brendan Nash accounting for Tom Taylor.
Yorkshire are bowled out for 422 as Jack Brooks goes for three. That brings an end to the day's action, with play also finished at the Kia Oval and Emirates Old Trafford.
Blow for Leics as Robson trapped lbw by Dunn for 75. Leics 120-3 with Buck going in as nightwatchman alongside Redfern
— Leicestershire CCC (@leicsccc) June 23, 2014
6.07pm - Glen Chapple has taken two wickets, the first of which was his 900th in the championship, to leave Northamptonshire 100 for seven.
The White Rose are nine down as Ryan Sidebottom is caught behind off Chris Wright, which brings Karl Carver to the crease for his maiden knock in first-class cricket.
Derbyshire have lost their second wicket in a day to forget at Canterbury, Stephen Moore becoming Stevens' second victim.
Play has finished at Bristol. We'll have a round-up of the action once all the matches are done for the day.
5.55pm - Huge wicket for Notts as Alviro Petersen is lbw to Peter Siddle for four, leaving Somerset 93 for three.
Steven Patterson has been dismissed for a useful 32 at Edgbaston but not before he took Yorkshire to 417 for eight.
5.45pm - Benny Howell has broken a frustrating seventh-wicket partnership of 63 between Ruaidhri Smith and Andrew Salter by having the latter pinned in front. Glamorgan's lead is now 160.
Chris Jones is leading Somerset's fightback against Nottinghamshire. He has brought up a fifty, while Richard Levi has celebrated the same landmark for Northamptonshire, who are still miles behind in their match against Lancashire.
Yorkshire have reached 402-7, which signals a fifth batting point. 8 bonus points in all.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) June 23, 2014
5.25pm - Notts have announced Australian batsman Phil Jaques will return for the first few months of next season, while fast bowler Andrew Carter is expected to make his comeback from injury at the start of the campaign.
5.21pm - It's not getting any better for Derbyshire. Paul Borrington is well taken by Adam Riley at slip off Darren Stevens to leave the visitors eight for one following on at Canterbury, meaning they have lost 11 wickets today.
Nottinghamshire continue to dominate against Somerset, who have just been reduced to 66 for two in their second innings after Nick Compton was bowled by Andre Adams. They are still 227 runs behind the hosts at Trent Bridge.
5.10pm - Pyrah is trapped lbw by Rikki Clarke for 62 but it doesn't look as if that will prevent Yorkshire from picking up maximum batting bonus points. They sit 392 for seven with another 11 overs to pick up the eight runs they need.
Angus Robson is taking the fight back to Surrey. He is 55 not out off 65 deliveries.
4.51pm - Kent enforce the follow-on after dismissing Derbyshire for 115. Mark Footitt smashes a six off Adam Riley, who immediately responds by removing the tail-ender for 14. Kent's first innings lead is 218 runs.
Northants are in a real mess. Ben Duckett lasts two balls before Smith removes him as well.
Big Wicket! Yesterday Tres was dropped by Samit on 22 (before later catching him), today he's caught him for 22. Somerset 41-1 #NottsvSom
— Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) June 23, 2014
4.47pm - Northamptonshire's day just keeps on getting worse. Rob Newton is out for 2, chopping on to Tom Smith, and Division One's basement boys are 54 for four. At the Kia Oval, Jade Dernbach traps Ned Eckersley lbw for four, leaving Leicestershire 49 for two in response to 522 for nine.
4.39pm - Finch departs for 110, caught one-handed by Tim Ambrose off the bowling of Boyd Rankin.
Durham lose their first wicket with 35 on the board as Mark Stoneman edges Jon Lewis to James Tredwell at second slip.
Glamorgan have shrugged off the loss of two set batsmen to move their total beyond 500.
Wicket. Palladino is caught on the mid-wicket boundary for 24. Derbyshire 93-9 (44); @TomTaylor43 5*. Trail by 240 #KENvDER
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) June 23, 2014
4.32pm - Richard Pyrah goes to a fifty soon after Yorkshire secure their fourth batting bonus point. They have a lead of 130 with five wickets in hand.
4.24pm - Norwell makes it two wickets in as many overs by removing Cooke.
Yorkshire and Warwickshire are back out after tea which means we have action in all seven matches.
4.14pm - Chris Cooke brings up his half-century but Glamorgan lose their fifth wicket when James Allenby is caught at deep square-leg off Liam Norwell for 57. They are now 480 for five, 89 runs ahead of Gloucestershire.
Buoyed by his career-best knock with the bat, Chris Tremlett has Matthew Boyce caught behind for two to leave Leicestershire 26 for one.
And that's tea: Excellent session for Yorkshire, who are 345-5 from 88 overs = a lead of 117. Finch 103, Pyrah 43, partnership of 103.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) June 23, 2014
3.58pm - Aaron Finch goes to his first Yorkshire hundred off 128 balls and celebrates by kissing the white rose on his helmet. He has hit nine fours and three sixes so far to put his side in a commanding position.
Ben Stokes takes the final wicket of Lewis Hatchett to finish with 7-67 as Sussex are bowled out for 205.
All the matches have reached tea except the one at Edgbaston.
3.45pm - Marcus North becomes the eighth Derbyshire wicket to fall, while Northants are three down with Matthew Spriegel edging Simon Kerrigan behind.
Tea is taken at Trent Bridge and the Kia Oval.
3.40pm - Well Nottinghamshire's tail did not wag. Overton removes Andre Adams and then Dockrell ousts Peter Siddle. However, the damage was done earlier. Notts score 461 and lead by 293.
Jim Allenby has a fifty for Glamorgan, who are 475 for four at tea.
3.30pm - Ben Stokes takes a sixth scalp, Jon Lewis caught behind by Phil Mustard, to leave Sussex nine down. Nottinghamshire lose an eighth with Overton pouncing to remove Chris Read for two.
160 - @gwilson14 has hit his highest first-class score (160*). His previous best was also vs. Leicestershire. Liking. pic.twitter.com/kyMXqEMZJQ
— OptaJim (@OptaJim) June 23, 2014
3.26pm - Patel falls six short of a ton! A fine knock comes to an end when he edges Craig Overton behind. Notts' lead is 283.
John Hastings has a second scalp for Durham, leaving Sussex 176 for eight. Steve Magoffin is out for five, however Luke Wright is offering resistance at the other end and has reached a half-century.
Lovely afternoon for cricket at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence @LV_Cricket pic.twitter.com/oQ7M0e3flU
— Kent Cricket (@kentcricket) June 23, 2014
3.11pm - Wilson ends unbeaten on a career-best 160 as Surrey declare on 522 for nine. Jade Dernbach added 23 at the Kia Oval and will now be tasked with causing damage with the ball.
Wessels just can't get a hundred! His last championship game saw him score 71 and 74 not out, and the two NatWest T20 Blast games since have returned 66 and 95 not out. Today, he departs for 74, falling to George Dockrell after a 161-run stand with Patel.
WICKET: First wicket for @johnhastings194! Another catch in the slips from @Borthwick16 and Tredwell goes. Sussex 164/7
— Durham Cricket Club (@DurhamCricket) June 23, 2014
2.55pm - That's seven down! Derbyshire are in all kinds of bother. Stevens has three after trapping David Wainwright lbw.
Gary Wilson reaches 150 for Surrey, who pass 500.
2.48pm - Derbyshire are six down. Darren Stevens picks up a second scalp, with Alex Hughes failing to score, before Riley accounts for Gareth Cross. The deficit is a huge 277.
Northants lose another! James Middlebrook, who went for 0-115 from his 23 overs earlier, is out for nought. Chapple has a second.
Samit Patel reaches a fifty. His stand with Wessels is worth 135 as Nottinghamshire secure maximum batting points.
Match Action: Stephen Peters caught at gully by Khwaja http://t.co/ojw7GEpTNy
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) June 23, 2014
2.39pm - That's not the start Northamptonshire needed. Glen Chapple takes just three balls to remove Stephen Peters, with no runs yet on the board.
When Aaron Finch signed for Yorkshire, many were looking forward to his exploits in the NatWest T20 Blast, but his four-day talents have been just as impressive. He's reached a half-century at Edgbaston, his second for the White Rose.
Derbyshire are in real trouble, on 53 for four, as Scott Elstone falls victim to Adam Riley.
Glamorgan 394-4 in 107th over, leading Gloucestershire by three runs. Cooke 22 not out, Allenby 8 not out.
— Gloucestershire CCC (@Gloscricket) June 23, 2014
2.30pm - Lancashire declare on 650 for six. Prince leaves the field to huge applause after an unbeaten 257. Remember, when he came to the crease yesterday morning his side were 29 for two, which soon became 33 for three.
2.20pm - Jonny Bairstow is unable to reach a hundred for the second successive championship game as he is bowled by Boyd Rankin for 68, with Yorkshire leading by 14.
Ashwell Prince shows no signs of getting bored. He's now up to a career-best 256, though Tom Smith at the other end is out for 79, bowled by Matthew Spriegel.
At Trent Bridge, Riki Wessels has compiled a half-century. Their first innings lead is approaching 200 with five wickets left.
WICKET: Thats 5 for @benstokes38! Piolet plays on and his off stump is removed. Sussex 133/6
— Durham Cricket Club (@DurhamCricket) June 23, 2014
2.10pm - Gloucestershire remove the second member of the stand that has caused them so much stress, as Tom Smith accounts for Wright. Bollinger bowls Wayne Madsen to leave Derbyshire 37 for three, while Matt Dunn fails to score and Surrey are nine down for 440.
.@LancsCCC 605-5 with 100 partnership between @ashyp_5 236 and @Tcp24 61. This is Lancashire's 10th highest total in first-class cricket
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) June 23, 2014
2.02pm - Wilson is not distracted by the demise of his partner and he goes on to reach three figures for the third time in his first-class career.
Derbyshire are 37 for two, with Paul Borrington dismissed for eight.
1.57pm - Heartbreak for Chris Tremlett! He falls 10 runs short of a maiden career century as Ben Raine performs the role of party-pooper. As gutted as Tremlett will be, his stand of 192 with Gary Wilson has put Surrey in a superb position.
Tom Smith is the fourth consecutive Lancashire batsman to reach a fifty. The Red Rose are closing in on 600. Northamptonshire's punishment continues.
1.44pm - The lunch break does the trick at Bristol. Jacques Rudolph, whose stand with Ben Wright was worth 158 runs, is out for 139 as Matt Taylor strikes.
Derbyshire also lose an early wicket with Stephen Moore nicking Doug Bollinger behind.
Half-century for Bairstow off 64 balls with 7x4s and 1x6s. He secured it with first ball after lunch. Yorks 212-4.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) June 23, 2014
1.15pm - Here is a round-up of the state of play in our seven LV= County Championship matches at lunch.
Lancashire piled on 174 runs in 32 overs this morning as Ashwell Prince reached his first championship double century while Jos Buttler clubbed 87 from 91 balls. Lancs are 558 for five against Northamptonshire at Emirates Old Trafford.
Ben Stokes grabbed four morning-session wickets to steal the advantage back Durham's way to leave Sussex 91 for five at the Emirates Durham ICG.
Somerset enjoyed a better morning but Nottinghamshire are still very much in control at 279 for five after rain forced a slightly early lunch. The hosts lead by 111 runs.
Yorkshire are 211 for four to be 17 runs adrift of Warwickshire's first-innings total with Jonny Bairstow a run short of a half-century at Edgbaston.
Division Two
Gary Wilson and Chris Tremlett batted through the session and their record-breaking eight-wicket stand is now worth 173 runs. Surrey are 416 for seven with both men in sight of centuries against Leicestershire.
Gloucestershire also failed to take a wicket this morning as Ben Wright followed Jacques Rudolph in bringing up three figures. Glamorgan are 339 for two at Bristol.
Kent were bowled out for 333, following a 59-run ninth wicket stand between Robbie Joseph and Adam Ball. Derbyshire are 18 for none in reply.
12.57pm - It has been an eventful morning. We'll wrap up what has happened shortly with the lunchtime scores.
Ben Wright completes his 100 from 125 balls with 19 fours and a six. Glam 334/2
— Glamorgan Cricket (@GlamCricket) June 23, 2014
WICKET: Brown top edge off Stokes for 4...Sussex 79/5
— Durham Cricket Club (@DurhamCricket) June 23, 2014
12.45pm - If you can believe it, it is raining at Trent Bridge. They are, therefore, going to take a slightly early lunch with Notts 279 for five. Not a bad morning for Somerset then after a day to forget yesterday. Notts added 71 runs for the loss of four wickets.
12.40pm - Stokes has three wickets this morning. Rory Hamilton-Brown is caught behind before the England all-rounder finds Ed Joyce's stumps. Sussex are 75 for four.
Surrey 400-7....Tremlett 80*, Wilson 77*
— Surrey Cricket (@surreycricket) June 23, 2014
12.33pm - Kent have been bowled out for 333. Marcus North has last man, and fellow Aussie, Doug Bollinger stumped.
Alex Hales falls victim to the Overton brothers - caught Craig bowled Jamie - for 41.
Glamorgan have their third batting point as they reach 300 for two in the 84th over.12.23pm - Prince reaches his double century. A marvellous innings from the former South Africa batsman. He turns away a single to reach the landmark from 275 balls and including 20 fours. How far away is the Lancs declaration? Do they want a couple of overs at Northants before lunch?
12.19pm - Chris Nash falls to Paul Coughlin as Paul Collingwood snaps up the catch. Sussex are 68 for two.
Surrey's eighth-wicket partnership between Tremlett and Wilson is now worth 142, which is a record against Leicestershire.
Wicket! A great innings from @josbuttler comes to an end as he is caught behind off Hall for 87 from 91 balls. 503-5 #LANVNOR
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) June 23, 2014
WICKET - Woakes gets his third to remove Lees, ct Ambrose, for 64. Yorkshire 150-4 #YouBears
— Warwickshire CCC (@CricketingBears) June 23, 2014
12.10pm - Buttler is teeing off as he races towards a century. His last six balls have been 6 . 4 1 4 4.
Prince is not far from his double century, too, so perhaps a declaration might be forthcoming soon after both men reach their landmarks. Lancashire are 501 for four and have added 117 in 17 overs today.
12.07pm - David Wainwright has broken that pesky ninth-wicket stand between Ball and Joseph at the Spitfire Ground. The spinner turns one through Ball, but not before they put on 59 together.
12.03pm - Ben Stokes grabs the first wicket of the morning session at the Emirate Durham ICG. Scott Borthwick holds a sharp chance and Luke Wells has to go for 20.
Tremlett, meanwhile, has gone to his highest-first class score - 65. Surely he can't make a ton? Can he?
12.01pm - Gloucestershire have just reported that the scans on skipper Michael Klinger's toe have revealed a suspected break. They are set to assess the injury further this afternoon. Bad news for them as their bowlers toil away.
AND ANOTHER! @josbuttler hits Crook over the ropes for two successive sixes. He's on 55 from 71 balls #LANVNOR
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) June 23, 2014
11.51am - Ben Wright has reached his half-century from 70 balls as Glamorgan pile up the runs. Wright's stand with Jacques Rudolph is closing in on 100.
Kent tailenders Adam Ball and Robbie Joseph continue to frustrate Derbyshire as their ninth-wicket alliance has contributed 50. Kent are 299 for eight.
11.46am - Ashwell Prince has moved to 176 - that's his highest first-class score in England - and his stand with Jos Buttler is also worth 50 runs.
Wicket! Shahzad goes for 8, the nightwatchman c Jones b C Overton. Notts 231-3 #NottsvSom
— Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) June 23, 2014
11.39am - Gary Wilson and Chris Tremlett have both completed their half-centuries in the opening half-hour. The Surrey skipper then sent Jigar Naik to the rope to take their eighth-wicket stand beyond 100.
The runs also continue to flow at Edgbaston with new man Jonny Bairstow pulling Rankin for six. Yorkshire have added 52 in 10 overs today.
11.22am - Gale's desire to get things moving quickly at Edgbaston has cost him. The Yorkshire skipper top-edges a pull at Wright and Warwickshire keeper Tim Ambrose gets under the skier. Gale falls one short of a half-century after adding 18 runs in quick time this morning.
11.17am - Lancashire have struggled with the bat at times this season, but they've just ticked past 400 to collect a fifth batting point.
75-ball fifty for Lees, 7x4s and 1x6s. Yorkshire have scored seven fours in 19 balls this morning. 112-2.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) June 23, 2014
11.12am - After a horror day yesterday, Somerset have made a good start by removing centurion Phil Jaques. Craig Meschede makes the breakthrough as Nick Compton holds on to the catch at point. Jaques will be disappointed to depart so early this morning, but his 113 has entrenched Notts as outright favourites to win this one even at this early stage.
11.07am - A great start for Yorkshire at Edgbaston as Andrew Gale drives Chris Wright for a pair of boundaries in the first over. Alex Lees then pulls Boyd Rankin for two more fours in the next.
Surrey 327-7..Wilson 46*, Tremlett 44* pic.twitter.com/9cstlrSZH0
— Surrey Cricket (@surreycricket) June 23, 2014
10.39am - Welcome to today's live coverage of the seven LV= County Championship matches. Another day of cracking weather awaits and the cricket should be no different either.
Division One
Nottinghamshire will look to press home their advantage after Phil Jaques' unbeaten 111 helped them to 208 for one last night. That represents a lead of 40 runs over Somerset who were skittled for 168 on day one at Trent Bridge.
Ashwell Prince will resume on 161 after his record-breaking day alongside Steven Croft ensured Lancashire enjoyed a profitable first day against Northamptonshire to close on 384 for four.
Yorkshire are 82 for two and looking to reel in Warwickshire's 228 at Edgbaston in a clash between two title chasers.
Durham made 337 after winning the toss against Sussex at the Emirates Durham ICG, with the visitors to start again this morning on 20 without loss.
Division Two
Jacques Rudolph is unbeaten on 108 as Glamorgan moved to 209 for two in reply to Gloucestershire's 391 at the halfway mark of a tight contest at Bristol.
Surrey are 325 for seven after choosing to bat against Leicestershire at the Kia Oval, with Gary Wilson and Chris Tremlett's eighth-wicket stand currently worth 82 runs.
Kent are 259 for eight against Derbyshire at Canterbury, with Tony Palladino's five-for and Daniel Bell-Drummond's century keeping things finely poised.

Role player started with 3.5 then moved on to 4e, I prefer "generic" Western fantasy with mages, clerics and knights.
I prefer systems that aren't built on nostalgia for their appeal, that being said I still favour what are seen as old school concepts class based games explicit rules etc short version if you want me to play your knight class don't even try to say "it's exactly how we played them in 1980" try to help me see how the class is fun on it's own.
My two major turn-offs are deliberately imbalanced PC classes and a over-reliance on DM calls.

Love at First Sight — and a Proposal
Danny Perasa proposed to Annie, his future wife, on their first date 27 years ago, and she accepted. The Brooklyn couple's story is the latest from StoryCorps, a project that records oral histories at New York City's Grand Central Terminal.
Annie Perasa says that if Danny doesn't leave her a daily note on the kitchen table, "I think there's something wrong. You write a love letter to me every morning."
Danny's still smitten with Annie: "When a guy is happily married, no matter what happens at work, no matter what happens [during] the rest of the day, there's a shelter when you get home. There's a knowledge, knowing that you can hug somebody without them throwing you downstairs and saying, 'Get your hands off me.'"

I see a huge future industry in mining landfills for these elements.
Not to worry Sam, the good people at ADM, Supermarket to the World, are hard at working developing ways to synthesize Indy-yum and other valuable commodities from corn--yummy, renewable corn!
zinc is recyclable and therefore won't "run out" in 2037.
snooze. watch wall*e instead
Yah, but no recycling process yields 100% of the original substance. A lot of that (or at least some of that) is lost in energy or other byproducts. We definitely have to work on improving our yields of reclaimed materieal if we want to keep making certain products.
Mining garbage dumps isn't that far off. Mabe we'll have to fight the third-world countries to which we export all of our garbage. Garbage wars!
This is not a problem. First of all we can recycle our electronics and get most of the metals back. So we aren't going to run out in the near future (less than 50 years).
By then all you need to do is tow a near earth asteroid or two into orbit and problem solved.
I guess this explains why we are currently filling huge barges with "non-recyclable" castoff junk to send to China on a daily basis. They're quietly stealing our halfnium!
@6, oh man, that's awesome. "all we need to do" is to simply tow an asteroid in... that would end well!
good thing that's never going to be within the human race's technological ability
Dear GOD! (clutch pearls) we MUST create Sustainable Entertainment Technologies PRONTO!
Dammit, it looks like I'm going to have to go back to watching television on punch-cards.
By 2037, it is entirely possible we will be actively mining the Moon and Mars, if not other rocky bodies in this system. Our system is "unusual" in that we have a lot of metal in the rocky bodies here (and the Sun has a lot of metal, too), which is probably because our planetary disc accreted from the supernova of another, previous star. So we can also eventually look to mining Mercury and Venus and the asteroids, if not the moons of Jupiter.
We're going to mine the ocean floor for all this stuff in the next 50 years. Which will be expensive enough that the disposable lifestyle will still have to end.
But do go see Wall-E. It's wonderful.
You know, if they just recycled the monitors like they supposedly do, and made them for easy recycling, this would NOT be an issue.
Which, given the regs in the EU and Canada and Japan, they're going to have to do anyway ...
oh, and zinc is a byproduct of the smelter up in Trail BC so we ain't running out of that anytime soon. Nor is the hydro used to run it, scrub the emissions, and clean it.
The moon has all these things in abundance. The procees of getting us there is already started. We will be mining the moon within ten to fifteen years. It also has helium three. Rare on earth but plentiful on the moon, it is an excellent fuel source.
Moon colony, baby!
All those pre-pubescent years of reading Heinlein are finally going to pay off....!
Aw come on, by that time we can just use our deuterium-fed replicators to gin up any element we want.

Pros: Great picture quality, good speakers, etc.
Cons: The pictures make it appear to have a very thin bezel. It actually has about a half-inch wide border on the actual display itself that I'm calling a software bezel. It's just black and creates a kind of letterbox effect. I bought two to use side-by-side, and the bezel ruins the flow.READ FULL REVIEW

Batido De Dulce De Leche
Total Time
Prep 3 mins
Cook 0 mins
This was on a jar of Nescafe Clasico Pure Instant Coffee Granules and recommended on another site and I was curious to try it. I'm glad I did and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. It has a fairly strong coffee flavor particularly if you use the full amount of suggested coffee crystals. But it sure beats those café mocha drinks that taste purely of chocolate and no coffee!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream (preferably of a good quality)
- 2 -3 tablespoons nescafe clasico pure instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
- 1⁄4 cup nestle la lechera dulce de leche
- ground cinnamon, to garnish
- Place ice cream, milk, coffee and dulce de leche in blender.
- Cover and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately with ground cinnamon.

My Solution For Healthcare
For the last two months the healthcare debate… Wait I wouldn't call it a debate. I would call it more of a keystone cops routine on the left and moronic fear mongering on the right, both are depressing to think about.
Anyway, I have decided to step in and help out our government building on the best idea I have heard proposed and it came from…. Sarah Palin. I know… I know… I wouldn't trust her to bake me cookies or even breed a kid with the right number of chromosomes but she has concocted the best idea I have heard yet… Death Panels.
Sure she pulled this out of her ass by twisting end of life counseling (suggested for the bill by a Republican) into something totally barbaric but I have to say she unintentionally stumbled into a great idea that I think we need to expand on. We should call it a "life or death panel" and here is what it should cover.
This panel decides:
1) If you are over the age of 75 and can't drive worth a shit. You are slowing down traffic and causing accidents, even preventing me from getting to where I need to be on time, well you need to die. Everyone in the United States is afraid to take away your license and your freedom so I say we should just skip to the next step and eliminate you from the planet.
Result: Florida trims their population in half.
2) If you are about to have a kid and you have the intelligence of most table condiments well… You need to come to the panel. At the panel we will put you up against a chicken in a game of tic-tac-toe and if you lose it proves that you are too dumb to have a child. We will hook you up to a shop-vac and take care of everything right there, including super gluing your vagina closed so you don't have to waste tax dollars by coming in front of the committee again.
Result: We stop the plot of "Idiocracy" from actually happening but probably lose ¼ of the United States population. West Virginia becomes the first "ghost state" ever.
3) Your need an organ donation? We decide any disputes that might arise. If multiple people are up for an organ here is how we are going to decide it.
a) If they are a celebrity we consider your body of work. If it sucks, say you are DJ Qualls, we are giving the new liver to the pedophile you are up against.
b) If there are no celebrities involved we evaluate both of your lives. If you are tied after that we decide by… no not a fight to the death, we aren't barbaric. No we decide by a game of Sorry! Not only we not have to apologize for putting you through this because the game says it all we get a good laugh every time one of you sends someone back to the start.
You are welcome America; I think I just started us off on the right foot.
Anything else we should consider for the death panels?

Yep, That Looks Like A Feature-Length Minecraft Movie [UPDATE]
Fan films come and go, but making a feature-length Minecraft movie? That's taking fandom to a whole new level.
Fan films come and go, but making a feature-length Minecraft movie? That's taking fandom to a whole new level.
The Last Son of Krypton mostly pummels evildoers in the face. Yes, there's the good ol' freeze breath and heat vision attacks but those tend to feel a bit impersonal. And Superman always pulls his punches with normal human bad guys. But, what if someone pissed him off so much that he didn't hold back? Well,…
Except for, you know, when he slices people in half. That part may be different. Maybe. I dunno you that well.
YouTube superstar Freddie Wong has a knack for making fun, special-affected videos based on games, tropes in games, and whatever else about games.
This joke has been made before. Many, many times before. But I can't resist when it involved Freddie W and the most gleeful looking Link I have ever seen. So gleeful that it looks downright evil.
Some guys will go to great lengths to secure good leaked video game information. Up to and including shooting guards with automatic weaponry.
After teaming up with EA to produce a Battlefield 3 commercial, Internet sensation Freddie Wong—best known for geeky, homemade film shorts that riff on Splinter Cell, Halo and Portal—stayed on set to create the video seen above. This one imagines what asynchronous co-op play might look like for that game's…

Look, if you want to invert flight controls on your own game, fine. You're a freak, but it's your game, so whatever. Just know that you should never, ever do it when other people are around.

By Sophia E. Piellusch H&S Bn., Henderson HallApril 13, 2011
Friday's April Fools' Day started out rainy and cold, but the rain stopped in time for the Sexual Assault Awareness Month 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk. Servicemembers and civilians gathered at the Fort Myer Physical Fitness Center in support of the event April 1 as part of the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall commanders cup race series.
The event began and ended at the Fort Myer Physical Fitness Center. Lisa Thomas, the sexual assault awareness coordinator for SAAM, set up a display table in the fitness center lobby before the race to distribute information and answer questions.
JBM-HH Commander Col. Carl R. Coffman gave 9-year-old Herminoe Dewitt a special token for being the youngest runner to participate. The young runner beat her best time by 4 minutes.
''This is the fifth year of the Sexual Assault Awareness Month 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk," Coffman said.
''This is a DoD issue across the nation. We need to watch out for our friends and neighbors. While you were running today, somebody was sexually assaulted. Think about that," he said.
The winner's circle includes the overall male runner, Ray Matthews with a time of 00:18:10, the overall female runner, Margaret Smith with a time of 00:19:35, and the largest military unit, Headquarters and Headquarters Company Regiment, with 99 participating runners.
Other winners in the 5K include: Jose Triveno as 1st place finisher in the male 39 years and under category, Jennifer Bailey in first place for the female 39 years and under group, Staff Sgt. Michael Credon took first place for the men's masters and Susan Moser took first place in the women's masters, and Jeff Wood took first place in the 55 years and up category.
The first place winner for male walkers 39 years and under was Kim Richard, and the first place female was Lisa Thomas. First place in the 40 years to 54 years age group went to Jon Myslint in the men's category and Annette Hawke in the female category. The winner for the military unit participation award went to 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Alpha Co. The SAAM walk and run attracted 491 participants.

As the AIDS epidemic continues to disproportionately affect the Latino and African American communities in the United States, little is still known about bisexual behavior and sexual risk of Latino and African American men. This article explores the construct of familism (i.e., the cultural value that weighs on the interdependence among nuclear and extended family members for support, emotional connectedness, familial honor, loyalty, and solidarity) as an analytical point of departure from which to conceptualize sexual risk for bisexual Latino men. Data collection methods involved detailed sexual histories of 18 bisexually-active Latino men in the metropolitan New York City area. The results of this study indicate that familism, as defined by familial support, emotional interconnectedness, and familial honor, shapes the sexual decisions of bisexual teenage and adult Latino men.

Academic and Professional Development
Co-Chairs: Katelynn Connelly | Joshua Shila
Contact: email@example.com
Our committee is concerned with a wide range of topics that include enhancing career, academic, and personal growth of graduate students – both in and out of the classroom. In addition, our committee finds ways of broadening our knowledge and skills, together with the development of personal qualities, through workshops, for graduate students.
Some ways we help meet the needs of graduate students are through the organization of a series of seminars and workshops during which professionals offer their expertise. The subject matter of these workshops varies by year, but some notable past topics have included proposal writing, resume building, networking, and entrepreneurship.
Other interests of the committee include working with university resources such as the Center for Career Opportunities (CCO) to better meet the needs of graduate students in the areas of career development, networking, and enhancing professional skills, as well as working with the Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE) to better foster graduate students' teaching and learning skills. One notable event our committee coordinates, Next Generation Scholars (NGS), is an outreach opportunity for graduate students to interact with local youth. To recognize and reward graduate students for their accomplishments, our committee also organizes the Graduate Student Excellence (GSE) awards.
If you have any questions or concerns about the committee, please free to contact us. Any ideas, suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Next Generation Scholars | Faculty Mentor Recognition Award | Grad Student Excellence Award
Co-Chairs: Alex Hagen | Christina M Weiler
Contact: email@example.com
The Advancement Committee is responsible for community outreach, public relations, and fund-raising. Principally, the committee seeks to build bridges between PGSG and the campus and larger Lafayette communities. These connections increase PGSG's exposure and help raise money for projects and events.
Career Fair
Chair: Siddharth Mehra
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The career fair committee is a branch from our Academic and Professional Development committee. The number one goal for our committee is to provide graduate students the opportunity to network with potential employers to help them obtain careers after Purdue. We organize two career fairs each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. This includes planning as well as calling and contacting various companies to invite to the fair.
If you would like to help invite companies and plan our Career Fair's please email the committee at firstname.lastname@example.com
Grant Review and Allocation Committee
GRAC Chair, Chris Kulesza, firstname.lastname@example.com
GSOGA Vice-Chair, Walter Schostak, firstname.lastname@example.com
Travel Grant Vice-Chair, William Brice, firstname.lastname@example.com
Professional, DEAL, and General Research Grant Vice-Chair, Heng Wu, email@example.com
We are responsible for reviewing and distributing funds in four areas:
1. Graduate Student Organization Grant Allocation (GSOGA)
The GSOGA Committee provides funding to graduate student organizations to support their activities, events, and programs. Such activities and events should enhance graduate student quality of life, allow opportunities for academic, professional, and personal development, promote engagement with the community, and create a forum for the exchange of information and ideas. For the 2012-2013 academic year, a total of up to $15,000 will be awarded to graduate student organizations.
Information available at: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~pgsg/projects/gsoga/
Grants reviewed twice per semester.
2. Travel Grants
Travel Grants assist Purdue University graduate students in attending technical and research conferences which in turn will help to develop graduate students professionally and augment the overall quality of research at Purdue. Grants are distributed among graduate students on a competitive basis. Because the number of applications varies each semester and the total budget for Travel Grant varies year to year, the number and amount of awards will not determined until after all applications have been received. This year, Grants are expected to be around $1000 and will be allocated for conferences in the 2012-2013 academic year.
Information available at: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~pgsg/projects/travel-grants/
Grants reviewed twice per semester.
3. Professional Grants
Professional Grants assist Purdue University graduate students by providing financial assistance for costs associated with their academic and professional development. These funds are aimed at reimbursing costs that fall outside the scope of the normal graduate student expenses. This includes but is not limited to journal publishing fees, printing of posters, and the cost of special courses or certifications. These funds are not meant to be used for any laboratory reagents or Purdue University issued fees.
Information available at: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~pgsg/projects/professional-grants/
Grants reviewed on a rolling basis
Legislative and Strategic Planning
Chair: Eddie Price
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
This committee is full of enthusiastic people who have worked hard to bring you the PGSG constitution. The PGSG Legislative and Strategic Planning Committee enforces and reviews the constitution and shall make recommendations to the senate for improvements when necessary. All bills pertaining to changes in constitution, addition of by-laws etc, that appear on the senate floor, are referred to this committee.
This committee is also charged with drafting a strategic plan for the Graduate Student Senate. The strategic plan defines the PGSS goals and objectives, provides a framework to benchmark the performance of our PGSS with that of our colleagues in peer institutions, and identifies issues that PGSS should be discussing.
Any graduate student is more than welcome to join the Legislative and Strategic Planning Committee. Feel free to e-mail for further information.
Public Relations Committee
Chair: Morgan Grosso
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The primary purpose of the Public Relations Committee is to be the voice for PGSG and graduate students at large. Growing and maintaining a presence for the more than 8,000 graduate students at Purdue is crucial for ensuring that the University administration and local communities wherein we learn, work, and live recognize our issues.
We complete our mission through the use of Facebook, email and Twitter (@PGSGinfo), special events, and through projects that support other officers and committees of PGSG.
If you are a graduate student with interests in writing, graphic design, public relations, event planning or social media, the Public Relations Committee can use your talents. Just email for more info!
Chair: Vacant
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The social committee is responsible for fostering the communication between Purdue University graduate students. The committee strives to achieve this goal by hosting monthly social events to cater to graduate students from all walks of life. The planned social events throughout the year attempt to bring graduate students and families together to create an atmosphere for socialization and to embrace cultural differences. The social committee has planned past activities including a fall picnic and spring Gala.
Student Affairs
Chair: Rohinish Gupta
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Student Affairs Committee is committed to improving the quality of life for graduate students at Purdue. Every year we publish the Tips for Graduate Living to help current and prospective students navigate life at Purdue. In 2010-2011, we worked with the University to rebid the student health insurance, resulting in a better plan including lower deductibles, lower out-of-pocket maxima, lower co-pays for prescriptions, better pediatric care, coverage of elective contraceptives, and more coverage for in-network and out-of-network expenses. We also helped the Student Wellness Office conduct a Quality of Life survey, which gave us more insight into the demographics and concerns of grad students. In 2008, our efforts with the University resulted in lowering the graduate staff fee from $890 per semester to its current level ($210 per semester, as of 2010-2011). In 2011-2012, are focusing particularly on removing disincentives for fellowship students and addressing concerns over differential fees. Contact Us

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- A bill moving through the Legislature protects people in homeowner associations from retribution if they take steps to reduce water use for landscaping.
AB2104 passed the Assembly Thursday on a 71-1 vote without debate.
The bill's author, Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, says associations have been finding ways to force their members to maintain lush lawns despite existing laws that seek to protect homeowners. Her bill aims to reduce loopholes that are being used by the associations.
Under her bill, associations, apartment projects and housing cooperatives could not ban water-saving plants or prohibit their members from following local water conservation rules. It now heads to the Senate.
Four other bills targeting homeowner associations would spare homeowners from fines for letting their lawns die during a drought.

How can I convert bitcoins into Indian rupees (INR) and get them in paper rupee notes?
If someone will want to sell bitcoins for Rupees, they might list it on LocalBitcoins. It's a good start.
See Mahin's answer below for http://BuySellBitco.in
If you want physical cash without going through a bank then you'll find many individual traders here:
And there are offers to buy and sell posted in threads on the India board:
But as of December, 2012 there are no market exchanges that can do a domestic bank transfer, so cashing out bitcoins would incur costs as an international wire transfer.
There is an E-Currency exchange that will buy your coins (or sell bitcoins to you), including sending a bank transfer:
Here is a forum thread of one reputable trader who can also send INR as a bank transfer:
Bitcoinary has traders willing to buy BTC for INR.
INRBTC allows you to buy/sell bitcoins in Indian Currency using the unique trading platform.
Place your order details and submit. you will be asked to deposit 10% of your order value in Bitcoins, after the deposit is sent, the order will be confirmed.
As soon as your order is matched, a trade will be executed and you will be sent the trade details.
If the other party does not honor the Trade, you will be paid 5% of the order value as compensation from the counter-parties deposit.
After the successful completion of trade, the deposit will be refunded after deduction of commission.
More information about the Trading platform is available at INRBTC Info.
User reviews on using this platform is available at Reviews.

Ahakoa he iti: Early childhood pedagogies affirming of Māori children's rights to their culture

This paper considers the position of tamariki Māori, the indigenous children of Aotearoa (a Māori name for New Zealand), in relation to the impact of colonization on their rights, including a focus on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the current educational policy arena. It then provides an explication of a Māori perspective of tika and tikanga, Māori rights as enacted through a Māori worldview. We then proceed to offer some illustrations from our recent research projects in this country of ways that teachers are engaging with tamariki and whānau Māori (Māori children and families) in endeavours which give expression to pedagogical enactment respectful and reflective of tikanga Māori (values and cultural practices). It is concluded that there are possibilities for early childhood pedagogies which enable a re-narrativizing of Māori ways of being, knowing and doing, in affirmation of children's rights to identity possibilities sourced in their own tikanga (knowledges and practices which are culturally right).

Are you allowed to work at a store (pet shop, for example) that does tzaar-baalei-chayyim to the animals it has there?
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If this is a Jewish-owned store, and working for them facilitates the sin, it is probably prohibited to work there.
BUT You should find out if the Tza'ar being committed in the store is in fact halachically impermissible. There are many valid situations where the tza'ar is permitted.
If this is a non-Jewish store, I don't know of a source that prohibits tza'ar balei chaim to non-Jews, so there's no Lifnei Iver. Of course, if the behavior is illegal according to American law, that would be entirely different.


text: This year, Delta Moon released Black Cat Oil, the Atlanta group's seventh and most transcendent offering in an already respectable catalog. The collision of Tom Gray and Mark Johnson's dual slide guitars push Southern twang to progressive new heights, crafting an unmistakable Delta Moon sound out of the humid Southern air. The album reveals its strengths through a series of dark and downtrodden tales that walk hand-in-hand with a molasses rhythm section on such songs as "Down & Dirty," "Wishbone," and "Neon Jesus." Aside from a cover of Mississippi Fred McDowell's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines," Black Cat teems with captivating originals, which is a rare treat for blues music in the modern era. With a combination of experience, passion, and songwriting prowess, Delta Moon has churned out a round of songs that are screaming to become standards marveled by future generations. www.deltamoon.com.

I have two sheets.
In the first sheet, cell F4, I have
00:00:00 (countdown). G9, G10 and G11 are cells that receive live data (decimal numbers).
In the second sheet, I have three cells linked from sheet1, G9
='Sheet1'!G9, G10
='Sheet1'!G10, G11
='Sheet1'!G11 (which update themselves when data is modified in the first sheet).
Now I want to set in sheet 2, (assume) cells B9, B10 and B11 to show me (copy) the values from G9, G10 and G11 from sheet 1 when the countdown was
00:00:05 (5 seconds before Start) and not update again if the data changes in the cell it pulled the data from.
Like G9 ='Sheet1'!G9 at 00:00:05 and stop here, do not update anything. OK?
I can do a part, but the real problem is: I can not make it stop cells to update. Stand frozen, freeze, not move, calm .. however.
I do not want to seem pretentious (but my knowledge in excel is limited), the most appropriate would be a formula, not macro or VBA, if possible.
I want to post a picture but I can not because of my restrictions. Well, if this is not possible with a formula is just fine with (not really) VBA.


text: everytime i try to change the color of my dates...it doesn't work, and the text always stays white no matter what hex code i use. however, background colors and borders for dates all work in changing color, its just the font that won't change.any idea why? i use h1 for the dates. oh, and i don't think it's anything with wordpress,because this has happened nearly everytime i've installed it, and i just never knew how to fix it.

Hi Guys
I've just finished the latest version of my Blog
and was wondering if I could get some feedback...ie do you like it, does it work in your browser???
Thanks in advance
Hi Guys
I've just finished the latest version of my Blog
and was wondering if I could get some feedback...ie do you like it, does it work in your browser???
Thanks in advance
but why waste 2 column when 1 does...
individual posts perhaps.
still rocking...
Kinda different layout, nice to see that :) Love the red :)
The only minus IMHO is that content (posts) begin from the middle of the page (nearly from the middle because 2 other columns on the left push it to right) and continues to right... Usually people place their sites in the middle or at the left side. You have placed your site in the middle, but because of those 2 columns on the left part of the site, it seems that whole *important* content is placed in the right part of the screen which isn't very pleasant to read... Again, IMHO... prolly someone thinks it's cool.
ooo!! me! me! i think it's cool!
tho i do agree that he doesn't need two columns with things (but maybe he anticipates loads of links)
i like
Looks cool to me. Being new to Wp I am following the Brits closely. Straight
of f the bat you are into two subjects close to our hearts. Nice to see a bit of substantive content. Welcome. ;)
Your comment page seems to push everything down a bit in Windows IE....a fix might be a simple as reducing the column width of the comment entry box (it's hardcoded in the comments php page, not in the style sheet). Otherwise the site looks good. When 1.2 comes out I might do something like that.
I've only just seen the comment entry box myself - its now been fixed in Firefox and IE 6 - with a
textarea {
In the CSS.
As for the two column side thing - I don't know why but I've been want to do that for some time. One thing I was concerned about though was the link back to the main page which I think is a bit hidden - any ideas about improving its visibility guys?
MaxT I'm not sure I follow - do you mean that the content div is pushed half way down the screen in your browser? if so what browser are you using mate?
Half way right... basically your *important* part of the site begins from the middle of the screen and goes to the right. People are just not used to read text from the middle of the screen.
Ahhhh I think I understand you now maxT, its not that it broken its just that you think the right of center text is unusual okay...gocha mate
:) Exactly

Editor's note: He managed the Red Sox and coached for the Yankees. So we take a shot at how Don Zimmer, the man who knows them both so well, would scout and analyze the ALCS ... if given the chance. In other words, What Would Zimmer Do?
"I never realized how late these playoff games lasted back when I was Joe Torre's bench coach. You just lose all track of time because you get so caught up in the game and the pitching changes and the lineup moves and Derek Jeter giving you a hot foot when you're standing up on the dugout steps.
"But now that I'm not with Joe, the games just last too long for me. I mean, I don't mind staying up past nine every once in awhile. But midnight? That's just ridiculous. How are you supposed to watch these games and still get up early enough to see Willard Scott?
"Like Sunday's game between the Yankees and the Red Sox. I was into it for the first six innings. But after that, I started nodding off, just like Chuck Knoblauch did during that game with the Indians a couple years back. So I turned off the game and went to bed as soon as I saw Mariano Rivera warm up in the bullpen in the eighth inning. I saw that so many times from the dugout that I know Mo always means lights-out, and I certainly didn't need to risk seeing Steinbrenner hogging all the credit in the clubhouse afterward. Did I mention I hate that man? I used to try to shoot the champagne corks at his head, hoping I might get one right in his eye socket.
"Anyway, so now that the Yankees have completed that four-game sweep against the Red Sox, the only thing left is to figure out whether they match up better against the Cardinals or the Astros. I say the Cardinals. For one thing, Joe used to manage in St. Louis, so they won't be flipping him the bird like the fans did in Boston. For another, the Yankees don't want any part of facing Roger Clemens.
"Let me tell you something about Roger. He's the fiercest competitor I've ever been around in my six decades in baseball. Jackie Robinson was plenty tough, but he was nothing compared to Rocket. Do you remember that one-hitter he fired against the Mariners in the 2000 playoffs? The game where he tried sticking one in A-Rod's ear? Well, he was still so hyped after that game that we had to shoot three tranquilizer darts into his rear end to stop him from ripping the plumbing out of the clubhouse.
"Even then, Joe had to distract him with shiny metal objects while Bernie and Jeter and David Justice held him down and wrapped him in ace bandages. Then we drove out of town and dumped him in the woods. By the time he'd eaten through the bandages and walked back to town the next morning, he had calmed down enough that he could communicate with hand signals and grunts. When we got back to New York, we just chained him to one of the batting cages and tossed raw meat to him until it was time for him to pitch against the Mets.
"Now that's what I call a gamer.
"Joe would probably come up with some sort of way to beat Clemens, but it would just be easier if the Cardinals win this series so they don't have to worry. So that's who I'll be rooting for tonight.
"I gotta go now because I'm beginning to feel guilty about not watching the end of that game last night. And I better call Joe and congratulate him on beating Boston again before it gets too much later."
