" Quotes from Gatewood "For all you Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical-Military-Industrial-Transnational-Corporate-Fascist-Elite-Bastards, I've got your karma right here. "If I was going to lie to you, I'd already be elected. "Ronald Reagan and George Bush aren't conservatives. They are aliens." "My opponents are both honorable men, and I believe they're telling the truth on each other in those ads they're running. If they're lying, we can't use 'em in Congress. If they're telling the truth, we sure as hell can't use 'em." "We're going to take the government out of your bedroom, your bloodstream, your brain, your bladder, your business, your billfold, your back pockets, your bingo halls and your Internet bulletin boards." "Did my father's generation hit the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima so that I'd have to pee in a cup to hold a job in America?"
The United States Marijuana Party - is a motivated group of Americans who are tired of living in fear of their government because of marijuana prohibition. We are fed up with the intrusion into our personal lives, with urine testing at work and at school, with armed home invasions, and with the possibility of prison because of a plant.
WE are Americans and WE do not want or need "drug testing"!
WE feel it is time for the 20 million plus Americans who smoke marijuana on a regular basis to stop hiding their love for this plant and unite as one large body of voters to demand an end to the "unconstitutional prohibition of marijuana and the drug war".
The War on Drugs causes more harm than the drugs themselves ever will.
United WE are a potential 20 million vote or more political machine. WE want to live free and WE must be determined to stand up, be counted, demonstrate, rally, and write.
Waiting for the government to silence us all in the American prison system is not an option! Too many of our brethren are there, in prison right now.
More Americans are in jail today for marijuana offenses than at any previous time in American history. The war against marijuana is a genocidal war waged against us by a government determined to eradicate our plant, our culture, our freedom and our political rights.
"We seek to remove all penalties for adults 18 and over who choose to consume cannabis in a responsible manner."
"We demand an end to the war on productive and otherwise law abiding citizens by the powers that be who claim to protect us."
"We demand the right to use any medication our healthcare providers and we deem fit without government interference."
We demand the release of all people imprisoned on marijuana charges and that their criminal records be expunged.
We demand that all property seized in marijuana raids be returned to the rightful owners at once.
We demand that our law enforcement officers make more efficient use of our tax dollars and use the resources they have at their disposal to go after violent criminals and crimes that actually have victims.
We demand the right to grow marijuana for personal consumption, just as alcohol can be brewed at home legally and so long that it is not sold it should therefore remain untaxed.
We demand that you stop treating us like second class citizens for consuming something that is less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco, both of which are legal and cause numerous deaths each year. Cannabis has never caused one.
What Does The U.S. Marijuana Party Do?
The United States Marijuana Party is here to help citizens take control of our out-of-control government and to return the power to the people as it should be.
"We are Constitutionalists"!
WE are patriotic citizens who firmly believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
WE organize Marijuana Parties in states across the U.S.
WE are striving hard to have all 50 states represented by Nov. 2016
WE show up at, and hold protest and rallies in our communities.
WE write letters to the media, and our elected officials.
WE plan to run candidates on the Marijuana Party ticket in local, state, and national elections, and to debate this issue whenever and wherever the opportunity arises!
If you do not have a chapter of the US Marijuana Party in your area START ONE NOW!
How Can I Help The U.S. Marijuana Party?
The U.S Marijuana Party operates solely from donations made by concerned citizens.
Each State is responsible for their own operating income and costs and operate individually as well as jointly with other active State's.
You can start a Chapter or support the U.S. Marijuana Party in your State.
Show up at or hold pro-cannabis events in your area.
Write letter to the editors of newspapers, and your elected officials calling for an end to cannabis prohibition and the drug war.
Another thing that anyone can do is simply to talk about the issue with friends, relatives and co-workers at every given opportunity.
The more we push this controversial topic into the spotlight to be discussed, the sooner the night-mare of prohibition will come to an end.
It's NOT what others do, but what YOU DO!

"Terrorism is a weapon of war. It is a psychological warfare tactic that targets the civilian population in a systemic manner through the threat of indiscriminate violence that renders the government helpless to stop it in the eyes of their constituents. Terrorist tactics erode the public confidence in their government's ability to protect them from it. So in response, the government imposes harsh laws that limit liberty and seize more power away from the individual in an attempt to appear as protecting the public from the terrorists.

One of the better pieces I've written so far. I don't want to accidently ruin the story for you by telling what happens so I'll just let you read it hehe... I tried to put in some mystery, though this is only the beginning and it only gets better as you read. So please comment and tell me what you think! *goes to work on Part 2'
This is the beginning of the story of my characters Josh and Kate. Josh is a modern vampire, but his girlfriend Kate has no idea about that yet... However, she doesn't find out until the later. I have some pictures of them in my SF&F Art gallery, feel free to check it out. This story also explains what happens to Josh on the day he becomes a vampire. 'Back To The Start' is the parallel plot of the main story I'm currently working on, called 'Falling Up'. I know this text may need some editing since I only had time to read it twice before submitting. But, besides that, hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think!

Bob Gallo: Wake-Up Call
On this studio session Gallo sports a debonair jazz demeanor, coupled with flashy dynamics and a speed-demon modus operandi that yields impressive results. Whether performing complex bop motifs or soft ballads, the artist excels when reformulating the respective melody line. He swaps vicious fours with trumpeter Alex Sipiagin and pianist Misha Tsiganov on the up-tempo opener and title track. But Gallo's tender side surfaces on the gently stated, samba-shaded "Dedication.
Nonetheless, the players in the quintet effectively intermingle the overall rhythmic quotient, complete with the soloists' sinuously engineered unison lines and torrid soloing spots. One highlight: Tsiganov's trickling notes during "Calculated Risk, where the band incorporates hard bop choruses into a sprightly, loose groove workout. In sum, Gallo's muse combines enviable technical faculties with a lean, mean fighting machine of a band.
Track Listing: Wake-Up Call; You Bet; Dedication; Commotion; Fat Tuesday; Reflections; Calculated Risk; Nightscape.
Personnel: Bob Gallo: guitar; Alex Sipiagin: trumpet; Misha Tsiganov: piano; Boris Kozlov: bass; Gene Jackson: drums.

Jenny McCarthy is getting her own talk show on VH1!
I'm not a fan of Jenny McCarthy, never have been, if I'm being honest. I find her SUPER annoying, and most of the time think she should just be quiet. She needs to put a cork in it half the time. She says and does things just to be shocking, and they come off just stupid, if you ask me. Well, looks like she's about to get her own TV show on VH1, and I'm baffled. Why would anyone sit through a whole hour of her talking? Makes no sense to me.
Anyhoo, here's more about her show.
Jenny McCarthy is single and she's hoping that when she launches her upcoming VH1 talk show next year, a certain leading man comes by the couch – Bradley Cooper.
"He's my number-one crush," Jenny told Shape magazine, which features the 40-year-old celeb showing off her toned midriff on its January 2013 cover. "I'm hoping he'll be a guest on my show."
Jenny is currently single, and she told the mag she is focusing on "me" time.
"I've gone on some dates, but I'm really taking a time-out for me at the moment," she told Shape. "One thing I realized in my past relationships is that I'm the best damn girlfriend ever. I put so much energy into my boyfriends and their needs. If I gave myself that same kind of attention, who knows where I'd be at my life at this point? So for now, I'm putting everything I've got into my talk show and being a great mom."
As for that TV talker – "The Jenny McCarthy Show" — which is coming to VH1, Jenny said it will showcase all sides of her personality.
"I'm scared and excited about it at the same time," she said.
"Because it's for an adult audience, the producers are giving me free rein and have asked me to push the envelope, I get to be my true, dirty self," she added.
Jenny heads into her talk show looking better than ever, the result of a gluten anddairy free diet.
"That's the best health change I've ever made," she said. "I lost a few pounds and have much more energy. My new favorite thing is my soup diet. I make a ton of nutritious ones, like butternut squash and vegetable. When I want to drop 5 pounds quickly, I eat them for every meal for about 10 days."
Anyway, here's Jenny's cover. She looks great, airbrush or no.

Meds, Mind, Body & Benefits > Mental Health & HIV
Emotional detachment?
(1/6) > >>
Hi all, Out of curiosity I would like some opinions on what has to be the biggest failure in my life so far. I am completely emotionally detached from potential partners. This is the best way to describe it. I was seeing a fantastic guy for a while, but it ended because he said I wasn't emotionally invested in the relationship, or words to that effect. This got me thinking about our relationship ( as it would ). And I think he is right. I can't take compliments. I think that people are lying or just trying to make me feel better when they give me them. I know myself that I have low self esteem. I find it hard to interact with people on an emotional level. I'm a very guarded person and tend not to wear my heart on my sleeve. If I'm in a bad mood I tend not to talk about it, and if I have problems I try to work out ways round it without confronting them. This has left me being described in the past as cold hearted etc. I put it down to having a fairly shit couple of years, between suicide of a close family member, stress of my parents being financially ripped off, diagnosis of HIV, not being able to or feeling able to tell my parents for fear of them worrying too much. When there is a problem I get on with my life and talk to friends about it a bit, but never seem to reach much closure on it. Problem is, being a science / engineering person I look for practical solutions to problems, to which I can't find one for my problem. I leaves me feeling scared that ill end up alone :-/And just to reiterate - it isn't just with this guy, it's been over the last 5 years or so. Ever since I was dumped by the one man I have ever truly loved. Maybe that's still having an effect. No idea. Basically, what the hell should I do r can I do? Being like this is how I have got round problems in life, so how do I address this as a problem? I don't think I have articulated this well at all, but I hope you can get the gist. CheersAl
Forgot to mention in there- When it comes to sex, I'm all for it at the start of a relationship, then I go between not wanting it at all, to wanting it constantly. A lot of my past relationships have basically turned into relationships because of the lack of sex after a period of time. Which I guess is a bit odd for a 25 year old. :-/ I put it down to the vast majority of my first sexual experiences being casual, no cuddling after etc, just as soon as its over you go on with whatever you want to do. I am actually realising this all and seeing things click into place, and its not making me sad or anything, I just know I have to change how I interact with people.
You've taken the first important step, by identifying something that you want to change. Lots of people don't even get this far.To change your pattern of behavior, you need to first recognize it, understand what triggers it, and then learn new responses / actions to those situations and triggers. Often times it helps to understand the past incidents and interactions with people that led to your current behavior, which takes a little bit of digging, but not always.I think you'd get a lot of value if you worked with a therapist / counselor. Have you considered this? I think if you took what you posted here, and put it under a good therapist's nose, they would see you as a good candidate and could start working with you right away.Regards,Henry
It is something I can get easily and cheaply (free actually) through an HIV charity actually. I know myself that I have certain . . . . . issues but not really until today that I realised that they have such an impact on my life, and other people's lives. It's something which certainly in the UK people don't do, or don't admit to. Time to get on the phone I think. :-/
Wanted to give you some encouragement. You're pretty young so its normal you're noticing some of the patterns and inclinations of who you are as an adult. I teach at a tech university and its common enough to have young men who are a bit detached socially or emotionally in these fields. You shouldn't feel like its something weird, more embrace that you are naturally inclined that way. You can probably get a good therapist and develop some strategies to counterbalance these inclinations, if you feel they are hurting your love life or social life... Also, if you had a few traumatic events in recent years, its possible you have some post-traumatic stress, and a therapist should be able to help you sort that out, too.

On May 4, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued Notice H 2012-8: Updated Requirements Prepayment and Refinance of Section 202 Direct Loans, updated guidance for the prepayment and refinancing of Section 202 Direct Loan properties financed between 1959 and 1990.
The new requirements have been published to implement changes in the prepayment law enacted by the Section 202Supportive Housing for the Elderly Act of 2010 (Public Law 11-372), signature legislation advocated by LeadingAge and our members and passed in the 2010 lameduck session of Congress.
The legislation streamlines and clarifies the prepayment and refinancing policies governing the preservation of Section 202 properties and makes it possible to refinance and rehabilitate the oldest cohort of Section 202 properties, those with interest rates of 3% and often without rental assistance.
The notice provides procedures for the prepayment of all Section 202 direct loans, those which require the secretary's approval and those which do not, procedures for those which choose to enter into a long term use agreement (20 years), and procedures for those with section 8 contracts which request continued renewals and exemptions from mark to market.
It supersedes all prior guidance on prepayment and refinancing.
Section V of the notice addresses the requirements for approval of prepayment of the 202 debt where HUD consent is required. One major change is the requirement that a long term use agreement which extends affordability 20 years after the original mortgage maturity must be signed between the sponsor and HUD and recorded.
Under prior requirements the use agreement extended only to the original maturity date. Now prepayment and refinancing is a long term preservation tool.
This section lists all the requirements including:
Section VI covers requirements for prepayments that do not require HUD consent. During the period of around 1977 to 1982, the mortgage note includes language that permits the prepayment of mortgages with only a 30 day notice to the HUD Hub and notification to the project residents as outlined in Section XI of the notice.
HUD HQ's Office of Asset Management will them provide confirmation of the prepayment. If the owner of the project voluntarily complies with the requirements under Section V and VII of the notice and enters into a long term use agreement, the project will not be subject to mark to market after a refinancing involving Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insurance. If not, the project could be subject to mark to market.
Section VII of the notice covers the requirements for a refinancing that results in the reduction of debt service, the original purpose of the initial prepayment law which was intended to recapitalize mortgages with interest rates well above 6% in a much lower interest rate environment.
For these loans, the owner who wishes to refinance must demonstrate that the prepayment and refinancing will result in a reduction in debt service by including a detailed sources and uses of loan proceeds and a summary financial analysis.
The savings must be expressed in a dollar amount, but no longer must the savings be escrowed or placed in any kind of special account such as a trust fund.
Under the prior requirements each HUD office established its own requirements or not for the debt service savings and required long term reporting related to those savings.
Each owner must detail how loan proceeds will be used in the project from the prepayment of the loan balance, rehabilitation or retrofit costs, and proceeds in excess of those costs.
All loan proceeds must be placed in a segregated account at closing of the transaction and spent within five years of closing.
Approval of the prepayment request will be construed as approval of all proposed uses of proceeds including social services such as congregate meals or service coordinators that equal not more than 15 percent of the cost of the supportive service unless the Secretary waives the limitation to better serve seniors aging in place.
The waiver request should be a part of the prepayment package.
The proceeds can be used as well for rehab, modernization, retrofitting including unit reconfiguration; construction of an addition or other facility in or adjacent to the project. With HUD approval, the owner may pool proceeds of several refinancing within the same geographical region to construct the additions or other facilities.
Section VII also establishes the payment of a developer's fee for both Low Income Housing Tax Credit and non-tax credit transactions, other transaction costs, and requirements for the use of proceeds in other HUD assisted senior housing properties or tenants of other properties with residents with similar eligibility characteristics.
In the prior requirements, proceeds could be spent on current tenants of the property only. For the other projects which benefit from proceeds from a refinancing, a use agreement must be executed for at least 10 years beyond the date of closing of the refinance.
Finally, the proceeds may be used to reduce the rents of unassisted residents of the project that is refinanced as residents can not have their rents increased as a result of the refinancing.
Section VII also outlines the various monitoring actions that HUD will undertake to monitor the proceeds and the reports and documents that the owner must provide.
Section VII addresses Section 8 rent increases for operational increases where there is debt service savings; such rent increases may be justified under the requirements of a budget based rent increase in the Section 8 Renewal Guide.
Section VIII addresses the requirements for refinancing to address the physical needs of the project. It will apply to the oldest cohort of Section 202 properties, those built between 1959 and 1974.
These loans carry interest rates below 6%, typically 3% and represent those properties with the greatest capital repair needs and those often without rental assistance.
These properties typically have not been able to refinance because they never met the test of refinancing to reduce debt service. For these properties an increase in the interest rate is expected as is an increase in debt service to cover the expected significant capital repair costs.
The requirements include the following:
The refinancing must include capital repairs equal to substantial rehabilitation as defined by the HUD MAP Guide, including such costs as unit reconfiguration from efficiencies to one bedrooms.
A demonstration of substantial rehab can be met by submission of a Project Capital Needs Assessment or the submission of architectural plans and specifications which may have been prepared for the financing of the project including tax credits.
Use of proceeds must comply with the requirements under Section VII.
The notice also covers requirements for a refinancing of a project already refinanced in Section IX. These requirements will apply in the case of 202s that refinanced when the authority to do so first became available and when interest rates may have been higher or certain repairs could not be made because there were insufficient proceeds after the prepayment.
At that time the properties maintained their exception rent status and were not subject to mark to market.
In this notice, HUD establishes a new policy that if a project is refinanced with a HUD insured mortgage for a second time it will no longer be considered an exception rent project and may be subject to mark to market.
While this policy seems to ignore the law, it is HUD's position that once there has been a refinancing the project is no longer considered a 202. There may be some ability to request a waiver of this provision in cases where a second refinancing is necessary to do essential capital improvements and for preservation on a case by case basis.
Only time will tell.
One way to maintain the exception rents is to refinance the mortgage without using FHA insurance.
Section X of the notice outlines additional considerations depending on the structure of the refinancing and the source of financing including waivers of payment of flexible subsidy debt, subordination and/or assumption of the Section 202 debt to facilitate preservation, the use of FHA mortgage insurance, continuation of the rent supplement contract, and subsidy layering reviews. It provides references to already existing guidance and notices.
Section XI of the Notice outlines requirements for tenant involvement in a prepayment and refinancing transaction including notification to tenants of the impending prepayment and offering an opportunity to comment on the proposed plans.
This section also requires that the owner respond to any comments and include those responses in the prepayment application.
Section XII lists the procedural requirements for completing an application to refinance and prepay the Section 202 mortgage including a mandatory meeting with the HUD field office to discuss a variety of topics such as:
It also outlines the owner submission requirements including the request form, HUD documents for the project, details of the capital improvement, the financing proposed, the resident population characteristics and names, required narratives about the use of proceeds, the benefits to the residents, and requested new rental assistance.
Section XIII of the notice outlines how HUD will process the application including requiring a HUD multifamily HUB to assess the application within 30 days of receipt of the complete package following certain steps. The HUB then submits its recommendations to the HUD HQ Office of Asset Management for review.
Waiver requests of any requirement can only be approved by HUD HQ.
While the notice provides detailed guidance there will continue to be questions on a deal by deal basis that you should feel free to raise as they come up.
The notice provides a detailed framework, but does not answer every situation that may arise.
As an owner you should be sure to work with lenders and attorneys who can help you navigate the process.
And, feel free to ask LeadingAge questions as well by contacting Nancy Libson at email@example.com.

Today, Apple introduced new models in the iPod Touch family, bringing support for OpenGL|ES to the line along with a 64GB model, and a price cut for the 8GB entry-level device. The new line-up is 8GB ($199), 32GB ($299), and 64GB ($399). Apple has moved over 20 million iPod Touches and it's the fastest growing iPod line to date.
The $199 price-point is a big deal, especially with Apple's pushing of the platform as a gaming device. At $50 cheaper than the upcoming PSPgo and offering more than the DSi beyond gaming, it could make a serious dent in that market, but I'm not quite ready to give it up to the iPod Touch as a major gaming platform.
On that note, during the presentation of the new iPod Touch line, Apple's senior vice president of marketing Phil Schiller took a shot at Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS. Apple contends that the iPod Touch is a more powerful device because the other two:
- Do Not Have A Multi-Touch Interface
- Their Games Are Expensive
- Have No App Store
- Don't Have iPods
Those points are almost entirely true, but the DSi has an online store that sells downloadable games and the PSPgo will launch with PSP Minis, small apps and games available for purchase and download through the PlayStation Store. Regardless, Phil also notes the difference in the amount of games available on each platform, putting the PSP at 607 titles, the DS at 3,680, and iPhone OS at a whopping 21,178. It is unclear how many of those 21,178 apps make fart noises.
Apple also brought some developers on stage to show off new games including Assassin's Creed II, which will launch the same day as the console versions, Madden NFL 10, which is available today, and an impressive looking FPS game from Gameloft called Nova.
Available today, firmware 3.1 for the iPhone and iPod Touch, which will hook up with iTunes 9 and bring the new Genius Mixes feature to your portable device. The upgrade is free for iPod Touch 3.0 users, but will cost money if you haven't snagged 3.0 yet. The device did not get updated with a camera as rumored.

Reaction Mixed As Saturday Mail Delivery Continues
The U.S. Postal Service's decision to continue delivering mail on Saturdays drew mixed reviews in the north country this weeek.
The Postal Service said it was reluctantly postponing its plan to end Saturday mail deliveries in August, and blamed Congress.
The Postal Service wants to end Saturday delivery as a money saving measure. It was supposed to save about $2 billion a year.
We took an quick, informal survey of customers outside the post office off Arsenal Street in Watertown this week, and got a fair amount of support for keeping Saturday delivery.
Bree Shields noted ""Sometimes people really need to get certain packages on Saturday."
(In fact, the Postal Service planned to continue Saturday package delivery, even after mail delivery was discontinued.)
And Alexander Mabry summed it up this way: "Of course - everybody needs their mail."
But do they?
Not far from the post office, you could find an example of how business is changing, and relying less on traditional mail.
At North Country Rent To Own, we were told that five or six years ago, most people mailed in their payments.
Now, said the company's Nathan Talotta, "out of the hundreds of customers we deal with, one or two people will still mail in a check."
More information:

- Save The Post Office is a web site that has opposed post office closings, cutbacks in Saturday delivery and has argued that the whole "we have to make the postal service smaller to save it" is misguided. It's the pushback to the official version of the Postal Service's problems.

here, sin is being called "human nature" something that God didn't intend for man kind. so Satan introduced "human nature" . . . and hes now a good guy for accepting his added fault. and God is somehow the bad guy for having complete control and power over his own creation? God made us. dont get but hurt if he decides to take 2.3 million of us along the way... ALSO had satan not introduced sin into the world. man kind would not have ever resorted to killing each other. so i think its safe to say that he is responsible for far more than 10 deaths.

50th Anniversary Wedding Speech
You must have celebrated many of your wedding anniversaries with your spouse, if you have been along for many years. Every wedding anniversary is special for you and your spouse. You must have planned and celebrated them together sharing some of the special memories with each other. If it is your 25th or 50th wedding anniversary, and you have planned a big party, then you must have made many preparations for this. In the wedding anniversary party, if you have planned for a speech, and looking for some good ideas to implement in your speech, then here are some excellent 50th anniversary wedding speech ideas. Giving a speech at any party is not so difficult if you get an idea of the speeches.
If you have been to such wedding anniversaries, you must have heard people giving speeches. You just have to give a speech in the same way you have heard there. The only difference is that you have to include your own stuff in your speech. If you have celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary before and gave a speech before, then it is not at all difficult for you to give a speech this time. However, if this is a grand celebration, and you want to express your joy through a special speech, then you can use some of these ideas.
50th Anniversary Wedding Speech Ideas:
The first thing you should do before starting your wedding anniversary speech is pay your gratitude to the people who have come to celebrate 50 years of your wedding anniversary. You can then thank the person who has organized such a grand party on this special occasion of yours. Tell people about how you feel to celebrate this special day.
You can then start your wedding speech with some interesting quotes that will show the lovely relation you have been sharing through these 50 years. Some of the famous wedding quotes that are generally used to start a wedding anniversary speech are,
- "Moonlight and roses are bound to fade for every lover and every maid, but the bond that holds in any weather is learning how to laugh."
- "Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence."
- "A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year."
Writing about some of your memories and the secret of your successful relationship will also make your speech interesting. You can include good as well as bad experiences of your life in the speech. Sketching your experiences and memories in the form of stories would be much more interesting. Tell people about your love story, and what all you had to go through when you were teens. You also have to refer the number of years you have been together and what made you stand together in cheerful as well and heartrending times of your life.
There are special gifts meant for wedding anniversaries. If you have bought some special gift for your spouse, then you should tell him or her, the reason for choosing this gift, in your speech. You can also present some hand made gift to your spouse. You can then tell your spouse how and why you made this gift.
You can also share some of the funny habits of each other in the speech. You must be aware of each other's pros and cons, so you can share them with people in your speech.
You should thank your life-partner for being an inspiration and support for you throughout the life. You can also tell people what makes the bond between you so strong. If you want to give your speech a poetic touch, you can write these things in the form of a poem. Poetic speeches are much more heart whelming. Do not focus much on bad memories in your life; speak much about good happenings in the life. You also have to thank your parents, children and share some of their memories and contributions in your life.
Ending the speech in a proper manner is very essential. Even if you have given a good speech, but did not end it appropriately, it will become an unsuccessful speech. 50th anniversary wedding speeches, most of the times end with a poem, wedding quote or some interesting lines. You write them on your own, or if you are unable to write one, then you can simply end your speech, expressing your happiness, and hoping that you can celebrate many more wedding anniversaries together.

Onions are endlessly versatile and an essential ingredient in countless recipes. Native to Asia…
- 400g pack mini chicken fillet
- 4 tbsp Thai green curry paste (we used Bart's), or use less for a milder taste
- 250g basmati and wild rice mix, rinsed (we used Tilda)
- 2 red pepper, deseeded and cut into wedges
- finely grated zest and juice 1 lime
The same shape, but smaller than…
- 400g reduced-fat coconut milk
- handful coriander leaves, to serve
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a shallow ovenproof casserole dish, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Add the chicken and curry paste, then cook for 3 mins, stirring to coat.
Tip in the rice and peppers, then stir in the lime zest and juice, coconut milk and 250ml boiling water. Bring to the boil, then pop the lid on and bake for 20 mins until the rice is fluffy. Scatter with coriander before serving.

Delicious! I cooked the onion in some coconut oil before adding some garlic, then added shredded cooked chicken leftover from a roast. I used an extra tablespoon of curry paste and used stock instead of water. I also used a mixture of black rice (soaked overnight) and brown rice, which meant I had to add more water and cook for about 15 minutes longer, before adding some mangetout at the end. Oh, and full fat coconut milk... There's no point cutting calories if it isn't going to taste as good; there's so much goodness in this meal.
Made this last night as described. Maybe the Thai green curry paste in the US is less spicy but this turned out perfectly as it does every time I make it. I use jasmine rice from my local Thai market. 20 minutes is just right. Tastes good and the leftovers are good too. I have adapted to make a chicken tikka one-pot with yogurt and tikka paste - also excellent! I'm a big fan of the oven baked risotto too.
This is good however I took heed of what others said and edited it slightly:
Fry a few chopped spring onions, zest of a lime, couple of crushed garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped ginger, curry paste (2 tbsp=plenty) for a few mins. Add in the chicken. Combine 250ml chicken/veg stock with 1 tbsp fish sauce, lime juice and the (full fat) coconut milk and add to pan. Add in a chopped pepper, baby corn, snow peas etc and plain old wild rice (not fancy stuff). Put in oven, with lid on, for about 30 mins and it was gooooood. Serve with chopped fresh coriander on top.
Without these little extras, I think a bit dull!

Again, we've got another week where catalog rules everything around me (CREAM, get the money, dollar dollar bill ya'll), but there's some great titles to pick up among them, including one of Sam Fuller's best movies.
- Veronica Mars: The kickstarter project that got a theatrical (and VOD) release, Veronica Mars got the band back together for this lumpy but not unwatchable reunion. The cast are great, though it's more fun for the performers than for the story, which is… okay.
- Amistad, The Terminal: Two of Steven Spielberg's less revered films are hitting Blu-ray this week, which makes me hope Universal gets on their game and starts putting out films like Duel and The Sugarland Express.
- Bachelor Party, Revenge of the Nerds: These are classic 80's sex comedies (the former starring Tom Hanks), offensive, sexually immature, borderline rapey at times, but if you loved them, if you grew up with them, you'll probably have to pick these up.
- The Big Red One, The Bridges of Madison County, Memphis Belle, The Women: There's no real order to the Warner Brothers catalog out this week, but there's some great titles here, especially Sam Fuller's Big Red One, even if it's not the optimal presentation.
- Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II / Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah / Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster, Godzilla: Final Wars / Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, Godzilla on Monster Island: With the release of a new Godzilla hitting theaters in a matter of days there is now a great assortment of giant monster movies to watch in high definition.
- The Honeymooners: "Classic 39″ Episodes, I Love Lucy: Ultimate Season 1, Little House on the Prairie: Season Two (Deluxe Remastered Edition): Classic television only this week, though I've seen the black and white shows and they look amazing on Blu-ray.
- Speed 2: Cruise Control: This movie is as bad as you would think it might be. It's real bad.
- Weekend at Bernie's: For some reason, this film was a smash hit in the 1980's, and inspired a sequel. This suggests there were better drugs in the 1980's.
What are you picking up this week?

4) White flour: Don't be a sponge-bread soft-pants
Trans fats aren't the only reason to cut back on packaged foods such as white bread, sweets and many refined-grain breakfast cereals. Processing removes most of the nutrients in these items, including ones that are important to your sex life. "For health, for fitness and for good sex, you want a well-nourished body, not one filled up on empty calories with few nutrients," Bonci says.
When whole wheat is processed into white flour, for example, it loses about three-quarters of its zinc, a mineral essential to men's sexuality and reproduction. "One of the highest concentrations of zinc in the body is found in the prostate gland, which produces most of the fluid in semen," Lieberman says. "There is some evidence that a diet high in zinc helps prevent midlife prostate enlargement and prostate cancer."
There's another reason to avoid too many refined grains, Lieberman says: They're associated with insulin resistance, a precursor of diabetes, which in turn can accelerate narrowing of the arteries, increasing your risks of heart disease and ED. Moreover, 60 percent to 70 percent of those with diabetes experience nervous-system disease as well.
5) Soy: Avoid too much of a good thing
Yes, eating soy foods is good for you. In fact, studies of some traditional cultures in which soy is a major protein source found that many men who consume it regularly keep indulging in the pleasure principle well into old age. The FDA allows label claims that soy foods help lower cholesterol, and other studies have found that they reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Still, researchers haven't ruled out the possibility that too much soy can affect your manliness. That's because one of the ways it achieves its healthful effects is by mimicking the female sex hormone. "Soy foods have estrogenic qualities," Lieberman says. "And it's not really clear how this affects men."
While there's no evidence that a moderate soy intake will have a negative impact on your sex life, it's theoretically possible that a high intake could - say you were to drink several soy protein shakes, which are high in the estrogenic constituent called isoflavones, every day. "I'd say it's fine to have soy foods a few times a week," Bonci says. "Just don't go overboard with them."
Hear us now, thank us later
While a double cheeseburger with fries is more likely to be followed by a nap than a romp in the sheets, most foods that poison men's sexuality usually take decades to do their dirty work.
Of course, if you abuse many of these foods, then your problems can start showing up in mild forms earlier in life, as early even as the mid-30s. Often, erectile dysfunction starts at this stage; some docs believe it's an early indicator of arterial disease.
So what's a guy to do? "Start eating healthier now," Bonci suggests, "and commit to improving your diet in the future. Every time you eat some vegetables instead of a muffin drenched in trans fats, you're helping your arteries stay healthy - and that keeps your penis working properly as well."

lets say they said n>=3, what happens if n = 3? division by zero
So far, this makes sense. But then they choose to pull out
n^2/[(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)] for n>=4 and call it Cn, so that 0<An<=Cn. Then Squeeze Theorem can be used.
So why did they choose n>=4? Why not n>=3 or n>=5? Is there another way to do this?
they chose the range of n so as to not cause problems with Cn, n <= 3, we have division by zero due to one of the factors (n - 1), (n - 2), or (n - 3)

Get ready to par-tay: Café L'Europe's 35th anniversary shindig set for Saturday
- 2:03 pm Wednesday, May 20th, 2015 by M.M. Cloutier
After all of the champagne toasts and well-wishers' kudos when Café L'Europe officially tuned 35 last month, the iconic Palm Beach restaurant is ready to party to celebrate its landmark anniversary.
And now plans call for the 35th-anniversary shindig to take place this weekend at Café L'Europe, 331 S. County Road.
It's set for Saturday (May 23), 9 p.m.-closing, to party the night away and celebrate Café L'Europe's lasting presence under the stewardship of the same founders since 1980: husband-and-wife duo Norbert and Lidia Goldner, who often are described as a "Palm Beach institution."
The 35th anniversary party will feature live music—including the Mel Urban Trio, vocalist [More]
Academy Awards: And the winner is…Cafe L'Europe?
- 5:14 pm Thursday, February 20th, 2014 by M.M. Cloutier
If Palm Beach held an Academy Awards of Restaurants, idea nominees for a Lifetime Achievement award would be Norbert and Lidia Goldner—not only for their graceful stewardship of their elegant 30-plus-year-old Café L'Europe, but also for the noteworthy annual events they've established there, including the restaurant's "Oscar Night" party complete with a red-carpet walk.
The Oscar party, now in its 16th year and taking place March 2 (coinciding with the 86th-annual Academy Awards ceremony), is a big undertaking, what with the outdoor red-carpet path leading to a life-size Oscar statuette—photo opp!—flanking Café L'Europe's French doors; large projection screens showing the Academy [More]
Put on Your Fez: Casablanca Night This Friday at Cafe L'Europe
- 7:24 pm Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
This Friday (Aug. 3), longtime Café L'Europe dining-room manager Bruce Strickland will be as dapper as he always is at the restaurant, although with a different look.
He'll be wearing a white double-breasted dinner jacket, a black bow tie and black slacks.
"I'm winging it—it's a rental," he says of the debonair outfit.
Turns out some of Café L'Europe's wait staff, too, will be attired differently than they normally are—in this case, Moroccan robes and fez hats, Strickland reports.
So it goes at Café L'Europe-cum-Rick's Café Americain, the swish piano bar depicted in the 1942 film classic "Casablanca," which will be shown on a [More]

A billionaire's art collection sold at bargain basement prices. Saturday morning, the public will have a chance to buy up art pieces once belonging to Genshiro Kawamoto.
Click here to watch Nana Ohkawa's report.
"It's phenomenal. It's probably one of a kind. We haven't dealt with an auction like this on Oahu of this magnitude before," said Alicia Alcantara with Oahu Auctions.
Massive bronze and granite lion statues are estimated to have cost up to $30,000. There are white marble statues costing $15,000 apiece. They are all remnants of Kawamoto's unrealized dream of grand sculpture gardens in Kahala.
The billionaire could sometimes be found among them, with gardening gloves and a smile.
But after Kawamoto ran into tax evasion problems with the Japanese government, he sold most of his Kahala portfolio to Alexander and Baldwin, and the pricey pieces came with it.
"The items are certainly unique, brought in from various parts of the world -- Europe, Italy, France and a lot of items from Asia as well," said Alcantara.
Kawamoto's costly collection will all be sold to the highest bidder for most likely a fraction of the price.
"It's all reliant on the crowd and how desirable one item is. If you have one desirable item and two bidders that's all it takes to make the prices go up, so we are hoping for a good crowd," said Alcantara.
More than 500 people are expected to show up to bid on the more than 600 pieces. The auction will begin in the entryway and maze through more than four rooms of the mansion.
The auction begins at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at 4631 Kahala Ave. It's open to the public and the mansion will be open at 8 a.m. so bidders can review the items before the auction.

Lady Gaga Is Unrecognizable In Make-Up Free Photo
Lady Gaga has revealed what she looks like without make-up on. It's quite a departure for someone who's known for wearing outrageous outfits and having a painted on face.
The singer is currently promoting her upcoming album "ARTPOP" and decided to go au naturale for fans.
She looks extremely different than usual in the photo she posted on her Little Monsters website.
She wrote, "As they pry the single from my bleeding fingers. It's a scary thing to revisit those things underneath, the pain in your past. But all I found was raw passion. I thought I was destroyed inside. I'm ready to fight. Start the music."
Earlier this week photographers from V magazine released a teaser photo of Gaga in which she poses completely naked on a stool.
Meanwhile, Forbes magazine just released its annual list of the top earning celebrities under 30, and Gaga came in first place, earning $80 million between June, 2012 and June, 2013.

Amarillo's Khiva Shrine recently had to make room for two more awards bestowed upon its Oriental Band.
When the Texas Shrine Association came to Amarillo in late May and early June for its state convention, the host organization fielded its band in the All-State Competition on June 1 and finished in first place.
Traveling to Anaheim, Calif., in early July, the Khiva Oriental Band competed in the Association of Shriner's Oriental Bands national imperial championship. Imperial competition is broken down by size, consisting of small, medium, large, and unlimited categories, said Oriental Band member John Meyer.
Amarillo's band - more than 30 members strong - usually competes in the unlimited category. But in the ASOB championships, the 10 members representing the Khiva Shrine competed as a small band, referring to themselves as "Khiva Lite."
"Khiva ended up putting on the show of shows and won first place in category and won the overall performance for the national competition," Meyer said. "This is the first time a small band has won first place overall in over 63 years when competing during Imperial."
Another honor garnered by the newly crowned Imperial National Champions occurred when the band's director, Joe Brewton, was installed as president of the Imperial ASOB. Brewton's brother, David, is the current president of the Texas ASOB.
For more information about the Khiva Shrine, call (806) 373-2845.

Redskins made a good choice…maybe
My initial reaction when I heard the Redskins signed former Seattle QB coach Jim Zorn as their head coach was that the hire was a bit of a reach. Zorn has never even been a coordinator, so his experience is minimal. He's been integral in Seattle, but let's face it – they've got a legend in Mike Holmgren running the show, and running an offense that Holmgren has deep, deep roots in.
I also have some concerns with the team's personnel in relation to how it fits with the west coast offense, the system Zorn will run. I like Jason Campbell's arm and demeanor, but I'm not sure he's exhibited the intuitive element needed to run a timing-based and quick-hitting passing attack. Campbell has shown himself at times to be a quarterback who doesn't see the field particularly well, or who doesn't process information particularly fast, which could be a problem in this offense. And, of course, Campbell will have to learn yet another system, something like his 6th in his last 8 seasons.
I also have concerns about their receivers. Wideout Santana Moss is an elite talent, and getting the ball in his hands more on quick-hitters can certainly be a good thing, but can his body hold up? It really hasn't up until this point. Antwaan Randle El is a good inside receiver, but he's better off being a #3. The Redskins definitely need to get a bigger and more physical receiver and I would not be surprised AT ALL if owner Daniel Snyder goes out and gets free agent and current Seahawk D.J. Hackett. Hackett would be a big upgrade, but he also has injury issues and he's not exactly a "big receiver," although he'd be a giant on this team. They are in good shape, at least, at TE, where Chris Cooley will have to adjust to a new system, but he has the skills to excel in any system, and the WCO could certainly result in a spike in his already strong fantasy production. As for their running game, they should be okay. Clinton Portis has worked in a version of the WCO in Denver. He's not an ideal fit for the system, but he's a decent enough receiver and I think, at the end of the day, he'll be better off the next 1-2 years playing in a system that might not be quite as taxing on his body as Joe Gibb's power-running scheme. Backup Ladell Betts should be a bigger factor, too. He's probably a better receiver than Portis, so if he had to start due to an injury, he'd likely put up good numbers.
After initially being, at best, lukewarm on the hire, I kind of like it. Although he's in his 50s, Zorn's hiring has a Jon Gruden or Lane Kiffen feel to it. He's new blood, and he offers the excitement of the unknown. Once they lost out on Steve Spagnuolo, I definitely like the Zorn hire more than either Jim Fassel or Steve Mariucci. Fassel is a guy who (somehow) managed success at times, but he's a retread, and a bad one at that. Mariucci has a pretty good reputation, but I don't think he's a particularly sharp guy, quite frankly. I think he's a good QB coach, a good people person, and a good motivator, but I think he was exposed at the end of his tenure in SF and in his two years in Detroit as a mediocre head man. These two are both still out of coaching work, so the rest of the league apparently agrees with me.
So while I'm not thrilled for the Redskins about their new hire, I'm totally prepared to give Zorn a chance and the benefit of the doubt for now.

Alexandra Shulman Defends Lana Del Rey's British Vogue Cover
Clearly, she knew she had some explaining to do.
Following widespread confusion over Lana Del Rey landing British Vogue's March cover, Alexandra Shulman defended their choice in her editor's letter. "I am many of the thousands of people enraptured by the throaty, seductive voice of Lana Del Rey ... Once I had seen Lana play at a small event in London, I was convinced that she would be a great Vogue cover girl, even though she is probably one of the newest stars in her field that the magazine has ever had on the cover."

Project ID: 2005LA32B
Title: Total mercury and methylmercury in Louisiana fresh, brackish and salt marsh
Project Type: Research
Focus Categories: Wetlands, Toxic Substances, Sediments
Keywords: Water quality, fish advisories, food chain, health effects, biogeochemistry
Start Date: 03/01/2005
End Date: 02/28/2006
Federal Funds: $13,951
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $33,397
Congressional District: 6
Principal Investigators:
Istvan Devai
Louisiana State University
Ronald DeLaune
The proposed research will determine the historical patterns of mercury deposition, rates of accumulation, sources, and movements of mercury in the Louisiana coastal marsh environment. The study will quantify the amount of methylmercury in Louisiana coastal marsh, which, serve as nursery ground for fish and other aquatic species. The study will complement ongoing studies by PI documenting methyl and total mercury in bottom sediment from numerous Louisiana water bodies. Due to high organic matter content of marsh soil, there likely will be greater amount of methylmercury.

Aquascutum to Be Sold; Designers Party in Anna Wintour's House
Also Topshop plans rapid Tokyo expansion, and Helmut Lang's art exhibit is online.
• Renown Inc. has confirmed rumors that it will sell its Aquascutum label. They don't know whom they'll sell it to or how much they'll charge for it, but they're warning the label's losses will be way up through the fiscal year ending in February. Takers? [WWD]
• Anna Wintour hosted a cocktail party at her West Village home for the ten finalists of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, including Alexander Wang and Richard Chai. Each designer had to create an outfit for a date inspired by a different species of butterfly, L'Oréal eye shadows, and an evocative word. [Fashionologie]
• Topshop is opening seven stores in Japan over the next three years. Judging by the progress on the one store they're opening here, we'd guess three years really means 23 years. [WWD]
• Helmut Lang's first solo art exhibit, "Alles Gleic Schwer" (which translates to "Everything Equal Heavy"), features mixed media and sculptures made out of mahogany and tar and is now viewable online through November 2. [JC Report]

Super Monkey Ball 3D ReviewBy Jason D'Aprile - Posted Apr 04, 2011
Another Nintendo system, another Monkey Ball! This time, Sega may have jumped the gun to get the game out in time. The main maze game is packed, but much simpler than usual, and with only two poor mini-games, there's nothing else to do.
The Pros
- Core Monkey Ball gameplay is still fun
- 80 levels
- Nice 3D visuals
The Cons
- Only two mini-games
- Both mini-games are lousy
- Core Monkey Ball gameplay can get old
Super Monkey Ball 3D Review:
It wouldn't be a Nintendo system launch without a new Super Monkey Ball game, and the 3DS is no exception. Super Monkey Ball 3D is exactly what the title suggests, so fans of monkeys in balls will know just what to expect here. Given the slim pickings for the 3DS, this isn't the worst choice for your launch title library, but it's clear that Sega cut a few corners to get the game out with the system.
3D Monkeys. . .Whoa
The Monkey Ball games have evolved only slightly over the years to include more and more focus on mini-games, while keeping the main portion squarely about physics-based obstacle courses. On the 3DS, the usual and expected array of mini-games is almost nonexistent. There's only Monkey Race, a mediocre cart racer, and Monkey Fight, a low-rent Smash Bros rip off.
Thankfully, if you're here for the main attraction, Super Monkey Ball 3D does at least deliver the same enjoyable, tilt-based gameplay that the series is known for. Guiding your monkey through the variety of hazard-filled mazes is still a lot of fun, and with 80 levels to complete there's a substantial amount of gameplay here.
Unlike past games in the series, the difficulty level has been noticeably lessened as well. Previous Monkey Ball games amped the frustration level up severely as you progressed, but the 3DS version seems to be aimed squarely at more casual gamers.
Tilt, Roll, Repeat
The inclusion of 3D visuals actually adds a lot to the game. The levels have a great sense of depth and the graphics are definitely on par with the Wii and Gamecube versions. There are two ways to control your monkey—with the analog stick or using the tilt controls of the system. While the tilt controls are an interesting way to play, effectively making it control just like the iPhone version, it's impossible to play this way with the 3D effects on since the screen position is always shifting.
There's also the usual nonsense story to go along with the single-player game, but thankfully very little time is spent trying to convey the plot of monkeys going after a huge piece of candy… or something. Both of the mini-games offer local four-player options, but it hardly seems worth the effort.
The racing controls are sloppy, and this mode is full of frustrating design elements, including poor track design and annoying power-ups. The fighting game isn't much better with its dull, repetitive gameplay. So, the appeal of Super Monkey Ball 3D rests solely on how much you like maze-based gameplay.
Monkeys, Monkeys, Everywhere
The 3D visuals are good, and the main portion of the game is still fun. Given the simplistic nature of the gameplay, however, Super Monkey Ball has always had to rely on packing in mini-games to make it more attractive. With that aspect put to the wayside, you're left with a game of limited appeal. Super Monkey Ball 3D works for what is, but we'd have a hard time paying full price for the privilege of steering monkeys to their doom.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has sold her Canberra investment property for $615,000 after buying it in December 2007.
According to the Property Observer, Ms Gillard declared the sale of the apartment in an update to the register of member's interests this week.
Don't miss: The world's most incredible, converted homes
The two-bedroom Wentworth Avenue apartment is located in the "boutique" Aspect complex, very close to Parliament House.
Ms Gillard purchased the property at an auction for $530,000 and used it before moving to The Lodge when she became Prime Minister in 2010.
According to the listing on a property website, the property is luxurious and boasts of an "exceptionally generous" space.
"Attention to detail is evident in every room of this apartment. The floors are a combination of timber and pure wool carpet, and together with subtle neutral colours give the whole apartment a feel of luxury. The kitchen is appointed with superb design and has top quality appliances, gas cook tops and generous stone bench tops.

Episode descriptions
Episode 1 - Plot Revealed Below!
Young Yury Zhivago moves in with his uncle and aunt (Alexander and Anna Gromeko) and young cousin Tonya after his father is driven to suicide by his business advisor Victor Komarovsky. When he is grown up and in medical school, Yury falls in love with Tonya. But one day he sees the beautiful Lara Guishar through a café window. Lara's mother, Amalia, is Komarovsky's lover. His attentions soon turn to the daughter.
Jealous, Amalia attempts to kill herself and while treating her, Yury recognizes both Komarovsky and Lara as faces he has seen before. At Christmas, Yury and Tonya attend a glamorous party at which Lara suddenly appears and takes a shot at Komarovsky, but misses. Yury and Tonya wed, while Lara marries her Bolshevik friend Pasha Antipov. The outbreak of World War I sends both Yury and Pasha into the Russian army. Fate brings Yury and Lara to the same battle zone, where he is a medical officer and she is a nurse searching for the missing Pasha, who is reportedly dead. Lara ends up nursing Yury when he is wounded in action. Though they fall deeply in love, the Communist Revolution has arrived and Yury must reunite with Tonya and his son in the turmoil of Moscow, while Lara returns to her daughter in the remote village of Yuryatin in the Ural Mountains.
Episode 2 - Plot Revealed Below!
Yury returns to Moscow to find his house has been taken over by the Reds and the city's public health system is hopelessly politicized. He decides to move his family to his uncle's old estate, Varykino, near Yuryatin. On their way he meets Pasha, very much alive under the new name Strelnikov, a notorious leader with little interest in either Lara or his daughter. One day while in Yuryatin, Yury sees Lara and they start a passionate affair. With Tonya pregnant again, he decides to break with Lara, but on the way home he is captured by partisan fighters and forced to be their medic. When Lara is midwife at Tonya's delivery, Tonya realizes who she is. After months with the partisans, Yury escapes during winter and barely survives his trek to Lara's house in Yuryatin, where she nurses him back to health. Meanwhile, Tonya, her children, and father have left Varykino for Moscow. Pursued by Komarovsky, now a high Communist official, Lara and Yury flee to Varykino, where they spend an idyllic sojourn until Komarovsky shows up to take the now-pregnant Lara away. Yury has a last encounter with Pasha, who is himself a hunted man, and then Yury returns to Moscow to find that both Tonya and Lara have vanished. Several years later he spots a little boy who reminds him of himself as a child; nearby is the boy's mother....
