I was craving some wintertime comfort food recently and made this EASY Chicken and Dumplings recipe.
Whether you call it chicken and dumplings or chicken and pastry, one thing remains: it's some good stuff. I was actually going to make chicken noodle soup, but changed my mind and thought that I'd make chicken and dumplings at the last minute.
This was one of my first recipes on the blog, and my original photos needed a LOT of improving.
We all have to start somewhere, right?
There's always room for improvement, but you'll see in my original recipe post just how much improvement I needed.
So when the Chicken and Dumplings were cooked, I rushed a bowl of this good stuff to my little room where I take all of my food pictures. You can see I have my background boards and foam boards stacked in the background, and I have my makeshift "table" set up by a window for natural light.
It works and I am so thankful to have a designated area where I can photograph food and store all of my food photography "stuff".
I hope you enjoy this simple recipe as much as I have over the years. Click the following link to view the original post and print the recipe: >>Easy Chicken & Dumplings

The following project outline is provided solely as a guide. It is only intended to be "one example" of requirements for a disaster recovery project plan. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the only way to set up a project plan.
If you are new to recovery planning, make sure that you research the subject thoroughly before embarking on a disaster recovery project. Consider engaging a consultant (internal or external to your organization) to help you in your project planning effort. Disaster recovery planning is not a two-month project, neither is it a project that once completed, you can forget about. An effective recovery plan is a live recovery plan. The plan must be maintained current and tested/exercised regularly.
The primary objective of a Business Resumption Plan is to enable an organization to survive a disaster and to reestablish normal business operations. In order to survive, the organization must assure that critical operations can resume normal processing within a reasonable time frame. Therefore, the goals of the Business Resumption Plan should be to:
Historically, the data processing function alone has been assigned the responsibility for providing contingency planning. Frequently, this has led to the development of recovery plans to restore computer resources in a manner that is not fully responsive to the needs of the business supported by those resources. Contingency planning is a business issue rather than a data processing issue. In today's environment, the effects of long-term operations outage may have a catastrophic impact. The development of a viable recovery strategy must, therefore, be a product not only of the provider's of the organization's data processing, communications and operations centre services, but also the users of those services and management personnel who have responsibility for the protection of the organization's assets.
The methodology used to develop the plans, emphasize the following key points:
The successful and cost effective completion of such a project requires the close cooperation of management from all areas of Information Systems as well as business areas supported by Information Systems. Senior personnel from Information Systems and user areas must be significantly involved throughout the project for the planning process to be successful.
In closing, it is important to keep in mind that the aim of the planning process is to:
Since recovery planning is a very complex and labour intensive process, it therefore requires redirection of valuable technical staff and information processing resources as well as appropriate funding. In order to minimize the impact such an undertaking would have on scarce resources, the project for the development and implementation of disaster recovery and business resumption plans should be part of the organization's normal planning activities.
The proposed project methodology consists of eight separate phases, as described below.
Phase 1 - Pre-Planning Activities (Project Initiation)
Phase 1 is used to obtain an understanding of the existing and projected computing environment of the organization. This enables the project team to: refine the scope of the project and the associated work program; develop project schedules; and identify and address any issues that could have an impact on the delivery and the success of the project.
During this phase a Steering Committee should be established. The committee should have the overall responsibility for providing direction and guidance to the Project Team. The committee should also make all decisions related to the recovery planning effort. The Project Manager should work with the Steering Committee in finalizing the detailed work plan and developing interview schedules for conducting the Security Assessment and the Business Impact Analysis.
Two other key deliverables of this phase are: the development of a policy to support the recovery programs; and an awareness program to educate management and senior individuals who will be required to participate in the project.
Phase 2 - Vulnerability Assessment and General Definition of Requirements
Security and control within an organization is a continuing concern. It is preferable, from an economic and business strategy perspective, to concentrate on activities that have the effect of reducing the possibility of disaster occurrence, rather than concentrating primarily on minimizing impact of an actual disaster. This phase addresses measures to reduce the probability of occurrence.
This phase will include the following key tasks:
Phase 3 - Business Impact Assessment (BIA)
A Business Impact Assessment (BIA) of all business units that are part of the business environment enables the project team to: identify critical systems, processes and functions; assess the economic impact of incidents and disasters that result in a denial of access to systems services and other services and facilities; and assess the "pain threshold," that is, the length of time business units can survive without access to systems, services and facilities.
The BIA Report should be presented to the Steering Committee. This report identifies critical service functions and the timeframes in which they must be recovered after interruption. The BIA Report should then be used as a basis for identifying systems and resources required to support the critical services provided by information processing and other services and facilities.
Phase 4 - Detailed Definition of Requirements
During this phase, a profile of recovery requirements is developed. This profile is to be used as a basis for analyzing alternative recovery strategies. The profile is developed by identifying resources required to support critical functions identified in Phase 3. This profile should include hardware (mainframe, data and voice communications and personal computers), software (vendor supplied, in-house developed, etc.), documentation (DP, user, procedures), outside support (public networks, DP services, etc.), facilities (office space, office equipment, etc.) and personnel for each business unit. Recovery Strategies will be based on short term, intermediate term and long term outages.
Another key deliverable of this phase is the definition of the plan scope, objectives and assumptions.
Phase 5 - Plan Development
During this phase, recovery plans components are defined and plans are documented. This phase also includes the implementation of changes to user procedures, upgrading of existing data processing operating procedures required to support selected recovery strategies and alternatives, vendor contract negotiations (with suppliers of recovery services) and the definition of Recovery Teams, their roles and responsibilities. Recovery standards are also be developed during this phase.
Phase 6 - Testing/Exercising Program
The plan Testing/Exercising Program is developed during this phase. Testing/exercising goals are established and alternative testing strategies are evaluated. Testing strategies tailored to the environment should be selected and an on-going testing program should be established.
Phase 7 - Maintenance Program
Maintenance of the plans is critical to the success of an actual recovery. The plans must reflect changes to the environments that are supported by the plans. It is critical that existing change management processes are revised to take recovery plan maintenance into account. In areas where change management does not exist, change management procedures will be recommended and implemented. Many recovery software products take this requirement into account.
Phase 8 - Initial Plan Testing and Implementation
Once plans are developed, initial tests of the plans are conducted and any necessary modifications to the plans are made based on an analysis of the test results.
Specific activities of this phase include the following:
The approach taken to test the plans depends, in large part, on the recovery strategies selected to meet the recovery requirements of the organization. As the recovery strategies are defined, specific testing procedures should be developed to ensure that the written plans are comprehensive and accurate.
The primary objective of recovery planning is to enable an organization to survive a disaster and to continue normal business operations. In order to survive, the organization must assure that critical operations can resume/continue normal processing. Throughout the recovery effort, the plan establishes clear lines of authority and prioritizes work efforts. The key objectives of the contingency plan should be to:
Although statistically the probability of a major disaster is remote, the consequences of an occurrence could be catastrophic, both in terms of operational impact and public image. Management appreciates the implications of an occurrence, therefore, it should assign on-going responsibility for recovery planning to an employee dedicated to this essential service.
Management must make a decision to undertake a project that satisfy the following objectives:
The project team organization is designed to maximize the flexibility needed to deal with the implementation of a plan in the most efficient manner possible. As explained earlier in this document, disaster recovery and business resumption planning is a complex and labour intensive program. A key factor in the successful development and implementation of recovery and resumption programs in other organizations is the dedication of a full-time resource to recovery/business continuity planning.
Recovery plans should be treated as living documents. Both the information processing and the business environments are constantly changing and becoming more integrated and complex. Recovery plans must keep pace with these changes. Continuous testing/exercising of plans is essential if the organization wants to ensure that recovery capability is maintained in such an environment. The organization also must ensure that staff with recovery responsibilities are prepared to execute the plans.
This cannot be achieved without a full-time resource with responsibility for: maintaining plans; coordinating components and full plan tests; training staff with recovery responsibilities; and updating plans to reflect changes to the information processing and business environments.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee should include representatives from key areas of the organization:
Project Team
The composition of the Project Team may vary depending on the environments and business units for which plans are developed. It is important to note that the managers of environments and business units for which plans are developed will be responsible for the maintenance and testing of their respective plans. However, the Person/unit responsible for recovery/continuity planning should retain the role of co-ordinator of testing activities, major plan revisions and maintainer of the Master Plan.
The Core Project Team is automatically part of other project teams. Internal Audit should be invited to be part of all teams. The managers represented on the various teams may choose to recommend other senior individuals in their area to represent them or to join specific teams where their expertise will be required for the development of the plans.
Suggested Core Project Team Composition
Suggested Information Systems/Technology Support Team Composition
Business Units Team
The members of the various Business Unit teams will be different for each Business Unit.
The management and control for this project should be supported by project management software. The software should be used for scheduling of personnel resources to specific tasks and identification of end deliverables and their target completion dates. Recovery Planning software implemented during Phase 2 of the project will be used to document the plans.
During Phase 1 activities, detail work plans for Data Processing and user personnel identifying tasks and responsibilities along with their associated start and completion dates will be developed.
The following is a schedule of deliverables by phase that will be developed and delivered as part of this project.
Phase 1 - Pre-Planning Activities (Project Initiation)
Phase 2 - Vulnerability Assessment
Phase 3 - Business Impact Analysis
Phase 4 - Detailed Definition of Requirements
Phase 5 - Plan Development
Phase 6 - Testing Program
Phase 7 - Maintenance Program
Phase 8 - Initial Plan Testing and Implementation
Organization who have tried to develop disaster and business resumption plans without dedicating the required resources to the effort have been largely unsuccessful in implementing effective recovery plans. Some organizations, after spending time and money developing recovery plans, have failed in maintaining their recovery capability. This is mostly due to a lack of commitment to keep their plans current or to do regular testing of recovery capabilities.
It is therefore essential, that management is committed to the development, implementation and maintenance of this program, that required resources are freed up during the development cycle and that a resource be dedicated to the on-going maintenance of the program.
Resource requirements can be divided into three categories, namely:
Capital Costs
A large volume of data will be gathered during various stages of the plan development. This data will be essential to the plan and has to be maintained on an on-going basis. There are several products on the market that have been designed to support the development, testing and maintenance of recovery plans. These products are evaluated during Phase 2 of the project. The final cost depends on the product chosen.
Other one-time costs may include the purchase of equipment related to establishing redundancy in the area of voice and data communications, data processing equipment (including personal computers), data processing emergency support and backup equipment (such as UPS, diesel generators, etc.) and business equipment (photocopiers, FAX machines, etc.).
On-Going Costs
On-going costs include rentals, services contracts and maintenance contracts. Some of these costs are hard to estimate ahead of time but could include the following:

Fresh from sold-out screenings at this year's Sundance and SXSW Festivals, Anchor Bay Films announces the June 25th Blu-ray™ and DVD release of the groundbreaking indie-short turned feature film starring Dermot Mulroney (Stoker, The Grey), Lindsay Pulsipher ("True Blood," "Justified") and Natasha Lyonne (American Pie, American Reunion, But I'm A Cheerleader).

Head Coach, Reed Peters began at San Joaquin Delta in 2008. With over 20 years as a collegiate coach, he has taken that experience and risen the Mustangs to a top program in the state. In his nine seasons the Mustangs have reached the Final Four five times including a third consecutive appearance in 2016. The Mustangs won a State Championship in 2011 and were State Runner up in 2009, 2014 and 2015. During his tenure there have been nine All Americans, seventeen players drafted by Major League Baseball teams, 40 Division I transfers, 30 Division II transfers and 30 NAIA transfers.
Before joining Delta College, Coach Peters enjoyed success at all of his previous stops. In Peters' four seasons at Feather River College he compiled impressive totals which include, two conference championships, four straight top twenty rankings and playoff appearances, three coach of the year honors (2005, 2006, & 2007), and a unprecedented 25-0 Golden Valley Conference record in 2007.
1999-2003 was spent at the Air Force Academy. The 2002 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, Peters, in his first three seasons at Air Force won more conference games than any other Falcon coach in their first three seasons. Peters won 28 league games in three seasons, passing the record of Joe Robison and Eric Campbell, who each won 24 games in his first three seasons. Peters won 73 games overall from 2000-02, the second most by a Falcon baseball coach in the first three seasons. Peters led the Falcons to back-to-back 23-win seasons in 2000 and 2001 and to 27 in 2001.
Peters' coaching career began at his alma mater, UNLV, where he was an assistant coach. In 1994, he left UNLV to take the head coaching job at Colby Community College in Colby, Kansas. In his four seasons at Colby, Peters posted a 123-80 record for a .600 winning percentage. In his first season, he led the Trojans to the Region VI Championship, the first and only championship in the school's 50+ years. His 1996 team was the west sub-region runner-up while his 1997 team was the west region conference runner-up.
A 1984 graduate of Cherry Creek High School in Denver, he was one of only three people in the school's history to earn four varsity letters in baseball. A member of Cherry Creek's first state championship teams in football and baseball, Peters received all-state honors in both sports, and was inducted into the Cherry Creek High School Hall of Fame in 2006. He earned three letters playing centerfield at UNLV from 1985-87, while starting and playing every inning of every game prior to signing professionally after his junior year. Peters earned all-Big West honors in 1986 and 1987 and led the league in home runs with 18 in 1987. Peters was equally impressive in the classroom as he earned GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-American honors in 1986. Peters earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from UNLV in 1992 and his Masters Degree in Sports Administration from the United States Sports Academy in 2005.
Following his collegiate career, Peters was a 12th-round draft choice of the California Angels in June, 1987. He played five years in the Angels' organization: 1987 Salem, Oregon (Short A), 1988 Palm Springs, Calif., (High A), 1989 Midland, Texas (AA) and 1990 and 1991 Edmonton, Alberta (AAA). He then spent two seasons in the San Francisco Giants organization playing for Shreveport, La. (AA) and the Phoenix Firebirds (AAA) in 1992. He spent the entire 1993 season with the Firebirds, followed by a season of winter ball in San Pedro de Marcoris of the Dominican Republic. He finished his professional career hitting over .300 four times. Most of his time was in the outfield, however he played all nine positions during his pro career.
Baseball runs in the family as Peters' twin brother, Rex, is the head assistant baseball coach at UCLA.

Eli: To repeat, Giants must improve
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With the Super Bowl celebrations over and training camp on the horizon, Eli Manning believes the Giants will have to improve if they want to repeat.
Manning said Monday he was anxious to get back to work despite an offseason shortened by the Giants' impressive run to a second title in five seasons, culminated by their Super Bowl win over the Patriots.
Manning was happy the Giants will report to training camp at the University at Albany Thursday without controversy.
"Hopefully, guys have the right mindset and know we have to get better," Manning said. "We need to make improvements because we have to become a more consistent team.
"If we do, hopefully, we'll have a good shot."
The Giants, who finished 13-7, have question marks on offense despite posting their best season in terms of yards gained. They have holes at right tackle, tight end, backup running back and even at receiver, considering Hakeem Nicks is coming off a broken foot.
"That why this sport is special," Manning said. "There are new challenges and new guys and different situations you have to overcome. We have some young guys who have to step up."
In April's draft, the Giants selected Virginia Tech running back David Wilson and LSU wide receiver Rueben Randle.
"We have a lot of young guys who don't have a lot of game experience and will have to come in and play for us," Manning said. "We have to get them ready in training camp and preseason games, and get them performing at the level we expect them to, so we can be at our best."
Repeating won't be easy. No one has done it since the Pats in '05. "It's just hard to win a Super Bowl," Manning said. "It's just difficult. A lot of things have to go your way.

Camera upload, search, sort, and the ability to add OneDrive for Business accounts are available only on devices running Android 4.0 or later.
One Drive is just amazing It's amazing the ease that one drives gives between all ecosystems. This app however has some shortcomings. Mainly because if you share a picture via a link the person you send that link to must have an account. So for social sharing I now download my stuff to my phone before sharing. As long as you have an internet connection this app is great. I kinda wish there was a file manager on Android that was as good as this.
One Drive Rocks! Seamless integration with my Windows 10 PC! and is seemingly faster to sync than Google Drive (I use that too). Everyone dogging Microsoft is likely an Apple Cultist. Microsoft has brought Android users compatibility with our PCs without having to use a Windows phone. (Cortana,Office, ETC....) Good Job, a Windows 10 phone maybe in my future!
Video playback has issues I auto upload avi images from my BlueIris security software to my OneDrive account. On playback using OneDrive, every video stops at the 4 second mark. I have to tap the time slider to get it past 4 seconds. Videos play fine with every other player I use. I'm seriously considering switching to DropBox if this issue continues.
A lousy App that doesn't work This app has a mind of its own. It doesn't perform the commands you give it and with each new update it gets worse. If I can find a better app to replace it with I'm going to do it. In the mean if you want my advice, don't use this app and in general, you're better off not updating any apps because updates don't make them better, they make them worse.
Hate this new update My all pic were categorized by me but now its been messed up by the app? Y do you want to mess things up. Pls lets the folders as they were before. Loved the pervious version of this
Easy to use, settings too scattered. Great app. Like any good cloud service, my files are readily available whenever and wherever I need them. The settings however are scattered through 3 different places making the configuration a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Dropbox is still the gold standard.

Skip to comments.Tenth anniversary of NATO air strikes
Posted on 03/24/2009 6:19:39 AM PDT by Ravnagora
BELGRADE -- Today is the tenth anniversary of the NATO air strikes on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY).
The scenes 10 years ago (FoNet, archive)
At midday, air raid sirens sounded throughout the country in a mark of remembrance for the victims.
The government, which has decided to build a memorial center dedicated to the victims of the air strikes, called on all citizens to stop whatever they were doing and respect the minutes silence for the victims.
Prime Minister Mirko Cvetković said that the air strikes had been an illegal act that could have been avoided.
"Could the bombing have been avoided? We know the answer. Only reason can prevail over evil," he told a special cabinet meeting today.
Cvetković said that 1,002 soldiers and police officers had perished during the bombing, as well as around 2,500 civilians, including 89 children, while 12,500 people had been injured.
He underlined that the air strikes had not solved the problems in Kosovo, nor had they established the rule of law or peace in the province.
He said that Serbia had elected to resolve the problem using peaceful and democratic means, but that it would never recognize Kosovo's unilateral independence.
"The bombing led to long-term detrimental repercussions for Serbia. For the future of our children, we must not let this happen again," the prime minister stressed.
Interior Minister Ivica Dačić said that the bombing had been carried out without the UNs authorization and that its result had been Kosovos declaration of independence.
"Whatever the cause was, that campaign should not have been carried out in a democratic, civilized world. That was a crime against our people, said Dačić.
He added that in the same way as the air strikes had been launched against Serbia, certain countries had recognized Kosovos independence in contravention of the principles of international law.
The anniversary of the bombing was also marked at the Russian House in a ceremony attended by representatives of the government, the Russian Duma, businessmen and politicians.
Russian Ambassador Aleksandr Konuzin said that now, instead of military bombs, bombs of a political nature were falling on Serbia.
No-one had any illusion as to the intention of taking Kosovo from Serbia, while even now there are no illusions that the wish of the European presence in Kosovo, which is squeezing out the UN, is to implement the Ahtisaari plan. But even thats not the last political bomb. From The Hague theyre bombing you with harsh condemnations of Serbs, Konuzin stressed.
During the 78 days of the air strikes, in a campaign titled Operation Allied Force, over 3,000 people perished, while civilian and military infrastructure suffered severe damage. Economists have estimated the vale of the damage at USD 29.6 bn.
One sided spin.
Trash, not news.
This was Clinton's War to make people (the news media, actually) forget her impeachment. It was ALWAYS about Hillary's run for the Senate - She needed war victims on trains to get the NY Jewish vote.
And she got the photo's she needed.
The entire premise for the bombing was completely bogus.
"Only reason can prevail over evil..."
Umm, no, bombs work pretty good too! Ask Hitler...
My girl friends elderly father passed away 10 yrs ago this day and I think watching the news events of this day hastened his journey. She said he cried (he was of Serbian descent) as he watched the news
This is what you get from the Balkans. Nothing straight comes from that region of the world.
Slavic Serbians Are Good
Albanians Evil
Get It, Got It, You Betcha
"We have all these neat weapons. Why can't we use them?"And if any US (cough) 'officials' are to be dragged to the Hague for War Crimes, I've got three candidates...
Just to remind you. The bombing started just as the Juanita Broaderick rape allegations were beginning to get some traction with the press.
Holy New Priest Martyr Stefan of Kosovo, pray for us! Holy New Martyrs of Serbia, pray for us!
In the New Calendar, today is the Forefeast of the Annunciation. clinton and his allies not only chose that holy day to begin bombing, but continued bombing through BOTH Western and Orthodox Pascha and beyond!!!! Gospodi pomiliuj!
Holy Theotokos, intercede for us! Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners!
Thanks for the reminder. BTTT
And what do you get in the US & the Western press?
"Albanian Are Good
Serbs are Evil
Get It, Got It, You Betcha"
There is NO straight story anymore, anywhere, Skenderbej — including here. Medias just tell the people of an area what they want to hear. We want to hear that we were justified in bombing Serbia — Serbs want to hear that it was a completely unjust action. There is no objectivity anywhere in the press.
A better question would be, "Was the 1999 NATO worth it to us as Americans?"
And my answer both as an American and as someone with old roots in that part of the world, is "NO!" We solved absolutely nothing and caused greater political problems for ourselves that we as Americans didn't need. We backed the wrong side, not because they are "Albanians", but rather because they were insurgents trying to steal a piece of another country's territory against all international law, violating its sovereignty. And we spit on that international concept of sovereignty with the attitude of "We're America and can do whatever we want, including redrawing borders." That didn't increase our respect with anyone over there, most people in Eastern Europe were simply horrified by our actions.
And how much US time, money and political energy has been spent on the NATO Bombing, "Kosovo nation-building", and Kosovo "diplomacy" ego-trip over the last ten years? $$$$BIllions! And what have we got out of it? Nothing. Kosovo is still a black hole, with no sign of its appetite for our money & energy letting up. Ten years later the human rights problems in Kosovo are even worse than they were before the bombing, only reversed — now it's Serbs who are an endangered species in Kosovo.
Kosovo was — and is — a tragic waste of our time, money and reputation in the world. And our involvement should have never happened. Balkan politics need to stay in the Balkans, because every outside force who has tried to come in there run roughshod over it — from the Ottoman Turks & Austro-Hungary to Germany (twice) — has sooner or later gotten its ass kicked, on a world-scale, as a direct result of that involvement. It's not worth it.
The Clinton response was that they had looked at old maps and loaded the info based on said maps. The only thing that was there before the Chinese Embassy was an empty lot. Our sources from NATO told us that the Serbs were running communications out of the Embassy.
If not mistaken, as soon as Clinton's approvals went below 50%, he stopped the bombing raids.
And who can forget Gen. Wesley Clark ordering the British to launch an attack on the Russian military?
If we choose to protect the sovereignty of an ally, we do so because it is in our own interest, not because it is our job as the world's policeman to enforce so-called "international law."
In fact there are some good unintended consequences that came out of US actions. NATO and the cursed United Nations Organization have been set at odds and the spurious concept of "international law" has been dealt a devastating blow.
That the US had the ability to bomb Serbia does not alter the fact that choosing to so in order to assist the Jihadists in Kosovo while peddling lies about non-existent mass graves was absolutely moronic.
It's a vast right-wing (Serbian) conspiracy Hillary - ahem, sorry I mean, Red6.
No news. Trash. No different than the Green Helmet Guy in Lebanon.
Our sovereignty is defined by the ability to defend our borders; the ability to be run by the form of government defined by our Constitution; and for our foreign policies to be our own, not defined by some outside organization. It is NOT defined by our ability to irresponsibly do whatever we want to whoever we want and expect no consequences, because we are to "too important to care".
The liberal us politicians and globalists behind the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia are the same ones who want to ERASE OUR BORDERS, give benefits to illegals and destroy the "international concept of sovereignty" that precedes the creation of the UN and other global organizations by hundreds of years!
Former President Clinton ignored the Constitution in declaring war on Yugoslavia without the permission of Congress, and was actually sued by members of Congress for that action.. Congress didn't sue because because he acted aganist Yugoslavia, but because he acted AGAINST THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!
NATO is NOT the USA!
NATO was chartered as a purely defensive organization during the Cold War to defeat the Soviet Union and should have been buried when the Cold War was over. But the stinking corpse of NATO was resurrected by globalists as an aggressive organization, ignoring its original "preservation of peace" charter. NATO today is ANTI-SOVEREIGNTY, because, according to the rules of NATO, "an attack on a NATO member" is to be treated as "an attack upon all NATO members". That means if Georgia had (as Bush & McCain wanted) been able to join NATO, we would be at war with Russia right now over what happened last summer in Georgia. NATO would have expected us to treat Georgia's borders as though it were THE US BORDER and Russia had just invaded us! That is completely ridiculous and turns the concept of sovereignty so inside-out as to be incomprehensible.
The NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia was not just an act against Yugoslavia, it was an aggressive act against the Constitution and the defining principles of America! Many of us already realize that -- and yet some never will get it.
Thanks for offering nothing of value, talk about a waste of time.
You mean tear jerking stories in slow motion from 20 different angles of innocent people being hurt, make belief statistics of casualties, huge numbers being thrown around to shock you.............

Edgar Allan Poe's Gothic tales have established themselves as classics of horror fiction, and as the inventor of the modern mystery, Poe created many of the conventions which still dominate the genre of detective fiction. Attentive to the historical and political dimensions of these very American tales, this new selection of twenty-four tales places the most popular, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Purloined Letter--alongside less well-known travel narratives, metaphysical essays, and political satires.

Virtual Ride
RestrictionsDon't ride this one when it's muddy.
OverviewThis is a great loop that is short enough to fit in on a weekday afternoon between "quittin' time" and dinner time. It will get you a quick 1100 feet of climbing and a fun descent.
Need To KnowTo access the start you can either drive up 8th St to the Foothills Learning Center, or ride in from town using the trail systems that start at Camelsback Park or Military Reserve.
DescriptionStart at the Foothills Learning Center (which you can ride to from town by any number of trails). Start up Lower Hulls Gulch Trail for a few minutes and then take a right turn to head up Red Cliffs Trail. At the top of Red Cliffs, take a left onto Crestline Trail, which rises gradually. After a few minutes on Crestline Trail, take a right onto Sidewinder Trail. This is a nice middle-ring climb with a few steeper sections that tops out at a 3 way intersection with a nice view.
At the intersection, hang a left onto the 8th Street Motorcycle Trail. Enjoy a fast and fun descent down a steep, winding trail with very well burmed turns. So fun! Note that this portion of trail is better to ride in spring or early summer, as during late summer and fall it gets very dusty and loose from the motorcycles tearing it up.
At the bottom of the 8th Street Motorcycle Trail drop you will be back at the Crestline Trail. Hang a right and pedal a short distance on roughly flat singletrack until you reach the creek crossing which marks the start of Lower Hulls Gulch Trail. From here, bomb lower Hulls all the way back to the Foothills Learning Center Parking area.
The whole loop can easily be done in less than an hour for those times when you need your biking fix but are short on time.

Four wickets in the first 10 overs have put Yorkshire in control of their LV= County Championship Division Two match against Gloucestershire at Scarborough.
The hosts had their opponents nine for four in an astonishing start which saw Steven Patterson take three scalps.
Benny Howell and Dan Housego both fell to the 28-year-old for ducks, before Hamish Marshall (four) became his third victim. Moin Ashraf dismissed Rob Nicol for four and although Ian Cockbain (28) and Will Gidman (30) are unbeaten at lunch, after electing to bat Gloucestershire are in trouble at 70 for four.
At Chelmsford Essex are 78 for four, with Derbyshire vindicated in their decision to bowl after winning the toss.
The wickets were shared around by the visiting attack with Tony Palladino, Tim Groenewald, Mark Turner and David Wainwright all successful.
Palladino made the early against his former county after he had Jaik Mickleburgh caught by Tom Poynton for five, before Tom Westley (14), Owais Shah (26) and Mark Pettini (14) all made starts before they were dismissed.
Northamptonshire, who still harbour hopes of breaking into the top two are 58 for two at the break against Glamorgan at Cardiff with opener Niall O'Brien still at the crease unbeaten on 23.
After choosing to bat the visitors lost Stephen Peters for 23 after he was bowled James Harris before Graham Wagg had David Sales caught by wicketkeeper Mark Wallace for 11. Alex Wakeley has joined O'Brien and is nine not out.
Kent are currently 80 without loss after 23 overs leaving Leicestershire to regret choosing to field after winning the toss at Grace Road. The game began at mid-day due to rain and Sam Northeast is unbeaten on 35, while captain Rob Key is 37 not out.
There was no play before lunch in the match between Lancashire and Durham due to a wet outfield.

Don't compare Shahrukh-Salman with Rajinikanth-Kamal Hassan!
We often witness ego clashes of two stars in film industry. Especially in Bollywood, two stars sharing cold vibes with each other is quite common. Notable among those are the Shahrukh Khan-Salman Khan fight. However, when it comes to Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan, the two iconic stars of Tamil film industry, it is not the same, as Rajini-Kamal have not had a public spat in their esteemed career and respected each others' achievements.
Recently, in an interview with the NDTV, Kamal Hassan was asked about his equation with Rajinikanth and their relationship was compared to Bollywood superstars Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. But before Kamal reacted, Andrea Jeremiah, who was also present on the show, was quick to respond to the question and said that the comparison would be unfair and one cannot compare the Superstar and the Universal Star with anybody in this country.
"Don't ever compare them and we can't even compare them. It's not cool. You can't compare Rajini and Kamal Hassan with anybody in this country," Andrea said. But what did Kamal say....follow the slideshow...

Virginia Commonwealth University Jazz: It Could Happen to You
This is the fifth album produced by the twenty-two-year-old Jazz Studies program at Richmond's Virginia Commonwealth University, the first under the direction of Antonio Garcia, who came to VCU from Northwestern University a couple of years ago. The award-winning Jazz Orchestra I, which performs on the first eight of the album's dozen tracks, plays well as a unit and the soloists are fairly respectable. But there's no denying the far more potent electrical charge generated by guest trumpeter Brian Lynch on "Blue Moon" and Robby Sinclair's "Splat 9" (which were recorded in concert at VCU, as was Frank Foster's "Blues in Hoss' Flat" at the 2002 Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival). The ensemble is at its best on "Adios (a.k.a. Bye Bye), Blackbird!," Garcia's clever Latinized arrangement of the Ray Henderson / Mort Dixon standard, and performs capably on the others, even though the exceedingly dry acoustics in VCU's Vlahcevic Concert Hall are an inescapable hindrance. The opener, Clifford Brown's "Daahoud," is good but could have been better had arranger Curtis Frye chosen a slightly faster tempo. Bill Evans' soulful "Peri's Scope," arranged by trumpeter Taylor Barnett, is nicely done, as are "Blackbird," Matt Catingub's charming "Samoana" (featuring alto saxophonist Colin Killalea), "Hoss Flat" and a ten-minute reading of Johnny Burke / Jimmy Van Heusen's lovely title selection. Lynch's impressive appearances (with pianist Ryan Corbitt also soloing on "Blue Moon," Killalea [soprano] and trombonist Sam Savage on "Splat 9") precede two selections by the VCU Small Jazz Ensemble and two more by the Faculty Jazz Septet. Barnett wrote the laid-back "Sunday Morning Blues," on which he solos with Killalea and pianist Daniel Clarke, while guitarist Trey Pollard composed "2040 A.D." (not as venturesome as its name would suggest), soloing with Clarke and tenor Matt Scott. The Faculty Septet, a close-knit group, as one would expect, wraps things up with tenor Skip Gailes' boppish "Wyth a Why" (solos by Gailes, pianist Bob Hallahan) and Hallahan's hasty "Fast Friends" (on which everyone else is given room to blow). Garcia and the VCU Jazz Orchestra have a good thing going; we look forward to hearing further evidence of their ongoing maturation (preferably recorded in another studio).

V-MODA Bass Freq Metal In-Ear Noise-Isolating Headphone (Gunmetal Black)
" Great in-ears. I honestly just typed an entire review on them and my internet crashed. I'll re write it in the future. I will say this though. They NEED a boost from about 200Hz down. Don't be fooled by their name, they lack bass entirely on a flat EQ. That is all " --KodaO

" Update: Reduced design rating due to ever-tangling cable. The cable is MADE with some type of built-in twisting/tangling design flaw. Just holding the headphones in my hand, the cable wants to twist and turn and due to its material, it's never fully "straightened out" like most other headphone cables. Due to this, it's become unusable. I've owned the original Bose IEs and now bought these..." --xx0xx

A motorcyclist dies following a crash in South Zanesville.
It happened around noon on Maysville Pike near Coconis Furniture. South Zanesville Police Chief Eric Finley said a J&R Electric truck collided with a motorcycle that was part of a funeral procession.
"We just talked with the witnesses," said Finley. "The State Highway Patrol is assisting me with documenting the accident scene. We'll talk to more witnesses and the other driver. I haven't been able to do that yet, but once I get everything put together, we'll determine then what's going to happen."
The motorcyclist was taken by MedFlight to Genesis Good Samaritan Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Finley said he's also investigating a separate incident involving the same pick-up truck and another motorcycle in the funeral procession. Larry Warne was part of the group traveling to the cemetery.
"You need to take one more second, one more look and give the bikes a chance," said Warne. "These are your sisters, your brothers, your husbands, your grandfathers out here on these bikes. Everybody knows somebody on a bike, and they're going to get killed. We were burying a friend today and now we have another one to worry about."
Finley said the victim's name is not being released at this time. The driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital for minor injuries. Maysville Pike was closed for more than two hours during the investigation.
