Category Archives: Music in worship
How does that 'anointing' thing go?
I recently joined the music ministry at my new church as pianist. The first time I played with the group I thought, "Why am I having so much trouble with this music?" But I kept playing. OK so then Sunday's service finally gets here and while I'm playing along, I notice that the three song leaders are acting MUCH less reserved than did they at practice. Actually, to be more specific, they're jumping up and down, and one of them has now crumpled to the floor.
(At this point, I'm chalking it up to my age being so much greater than theirs.)
But then they're singing the same song over and over and over. We're not talking repeat the verse and chorus – no, no. They're having these people sing a chorus 15 and 20 times over and I notice the congretation is not getting into it quite like they are… Actually, about 2/3 of them have now sat down and are reading their bibles or just staring. The other 1/3 is standing up still, but I don't see anyone falling under the anointing…and when it finished, there was almost a "rush to sit".
*Note: This is not a hyper-charismatic church I attend, but it's also not a "dead denominational" church. It's alive and there are people who come to worship Jesus inside its walls, who leave wanting to share the gift they've received.
OK, Service finally ends and I walk away feeling like I just took part in something that shouldn't have happened in a sanctuary. I couldn't quite pin it down "what exactly was wrong" but oh well.
The next week comes along, I get my "list for Sunday" emailed to me and I'm running into the same problem with these songs as did I for the last batch. (They're not clicking at all.) Then I go thru the list of these songs and start looking at the their composers. I didn't recognize the first few names but did note that they were all written at Bethel in Redding, CA. Then I see the words, "…house of prayer", and next to those words, Misty Edwards' name. (This would be IHOP Kansas City's Misty Edwards.)
NOW I know why the music wasn't "clicking". The team was trying to get something (very fleshy) worked up during the singing. Something …contemplative… It wouldn't "click" because God wasn't in it.
You cannot "cause" God to show up by anything "you" do. YOU cannot work up an anointing. YOU can work something up, for sure! But it's the anointing that breaks the yolk and anything seperate from a Spirit-initiated anointing is just flesh trying to get that "feel good" going. Besides that, the highly repetitiveness of singing the choruses is actually another branch off of contemplative prayer. It literally takes a person into a state of self-induced hypnosis (whether they want to admit it or not). It's playing with the supernatural and those aren't "heavenly beings" you're communing with.
No 'Catchers' – Would We Still See "Slain In the Spirit"?
If this would only "occur" to other pastors, (or just plain old 'others'), within the body..
This Indiana pastor's church got caught up in all the false hoopla with Todd Bentley's "signs and wonders", but God shook them out of their dilutions.
WHAT would happen at other churches if there were no more able bodied men standing right behind the people about to be prayed for in the prayer lines? Meditate on that thought for just a moment…
(No pun intended)

Longtime Louvre director Henri Loyrette to step down
Henri Loyrette, the pioneering boss of the Louvre for over a decade, will quit the world's biggest museum at the end of his current term of office in April, he told AFP on Monday.
Loyrette, 60, has been at the helm of the Paris institution since 2001, having previously been in charge of the world's most important collection of impressionist art at the Musee d'Orsay.
He will leave the Louvre in good shape with visitor numbers, running at 5 million per year when he took over, expected to top 10 million this year with half of them composed of the under-30s.

Hate to ruin your Columbus Day festivities, but what better time to explore one of the worst first impressions in human history and how it was all seemingly condoned by the Good Book.
Columbus' own stated purpose for his voyage (to India) was to find people who belonged to
"the sect of Mahoma [Islam] and to all idolatries and heresies, with a view that they might be converted to our holy faith."
And Columbus later wrote this about his divine inspiration to sail Westward:
"It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel his hand upon me) the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies . . . For the execution of the journey to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. It is simply the fulfillment of what Isaiah had prophesied . . . No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service"
Columbus didn't rely on maps, but instead heard (God's) voices in his head! Columbus was SOOOOOO lucky there just happened to be an entire, unexpected continent to exploit, because if America weren't there, they would have all died long before reaching India.
When Columbus finally met the Caribbean locals, his first thoughts were along these lines (from his journal):
"They would make fine servants . . . With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."
Columbus' boyhood friend recounts whipping and raping a native woman
"whom the said Lord Admiral gave to me."
The expedition's priest recounts the vilest of all the crew's acts:
"And the Christians . . . spared neither the children nor the aged nor pregnant women . . . (They) snatched them by the arms and threw them into the rivers, roaring with laughter and saying as the babies fell into the water, "Boil there, you offspring of the devil!"
Columbus' crew may have been a bit imbalanced to agree to join his ill-planned voyage in the first place, but an imbalanced mind can find much malevolent inspiration with the Christian holy scriptures:
Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord. —Exodus 22:20
And when the Lord has given them up into your hands, and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction. —Deuteronomy 7:2
And now slay every male, even of the children, and put to death the women that have carnally known men. But the girls and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves. —Numbers 31:17-18
Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished. And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces, and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eye shall not spare children. —Isaiah 13:16,18
And finally for one of the most unforgivable lines in the entire Bible:
Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock. —Psalms 137:9
Which is exactly what Columbus' crew did, again from the writings of Columbus' priest, Bartolome de las Casas:
"They took infants from their mothers' breasts, snatching them by the legs and pitching them head first against the crags."
Leading us sadly to Bible Funmentionables' Core Principle #4: Just because the Bible has consoled many with its uplifting verses, it does NOT mean that it is a harmless book. In the wrong hands it can be the source of profound misery, suffering, and from time to time catastrophic atrocities.
Columbus' mindset does shed light on why humans like to assume that aliens arriving to earth would have hostile intent. It's not that we understand alien nature; it's more that we have seen human nature throughout history.
Here's hoping that the aliens' holy books are a little holier than ours.
Michael Morris is the author of Bible Funmentionables: A Lighthearted Look at the Wildest Verses You've NEVER Been Told!, which features all of the shocking and hilarious verses that your minister, rabbi, or charismatic cult leader is afraid to preach.

Antidepressants Linked to First-Time Seizures »
"April 8, 2015 -- A new study ties antidepressants to a higher risk for first-time seizures in people being treated for depression.
Older antidepressants called tricyclics were the only type not linked to the raised risk, say researchers fro"...
Read the Antidepressants Linked to First-Time Seizures article »
(Generic versions may still be available.)
DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) is indicated for the treatment of depression. The efficacy of DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) has been demonstrated in both inpatient and outpatient settings and for depressed patients with and without prominent anxiety. The depressive illness of patients studied corresponds to the Major Depressive Episode criteria of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, III1.
Major Depressive Episode implies a prominent and relatively persistent (nearly every day for at least two weeks) depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning, and includes at least four of the following eight symptoms: change in appetite, change in sleep, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of interest in usual activities or decrease in sexual drive, increased fatigability, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, and suicidal ideation or attempts.
The dosage should be initiated at a low level and increased gradually, noting the clinical response and any evidence of intolerance. Occurrence of drowsiness may require the administration of a major portion of the daily dose at bedtime or a reduction of dosage. DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) should be taken shortly after a meal or light snack. Symptomatic relief may be seen during the first week, with optimal antidepressant effects typically evident within two weeks. Twenty-five percent of those who respond to DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) require more than two weeks (up to four weeks) of drug administration.
Usual Adult Dosage
An initial dose of 150 mg/day in divided doses is suggested. The dose may be increased by 50 mg/day every three to four days. The maximum dose for outpatients usually should not exceed 400 mg/day in divided doses. Inpatients (ie, more severely depressed patients) may be given up to but not in excess of 600 mg/day in divided doses.
Dosage during prolonged maintenance therapy should be kept at the lowest effective level. Once an adequate response has been achieved, dosage may be gradually reduced, with subsequent adjustment depending on therapeutic response.
Although there has been no systematic evaluation of the efficacy of DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) beyond six weeks, it is generally recommended that a course of antidepressant drug treatment should be continued for several months.

Roughly how much milk is a 2-3 week kitten spose to drink?
I'd like to say thanks to Izzie for helping me a few days ago. The kitten is doing much better. I got a kitten a few days ago, or more like found by mistake. He was sick and so on. Hes doing much better, the first night was hard for him to drink his special milk, but now he'll wake me up at night when he wants his bottle, and he sucks great.
I've bottled fed kittens before, but not if there life depended on it. This is my frist kitten if I don't feed him, he will die. Normally it's just helping the mother rest for a little while. So I don't worry about how much milk the ktitens are getting. But now Bud (kittens name) is depending 100% of me. He stops drinking then a few minutes he wants more. So I give him more. He drinks whenever he wants, when I'm at school my mom feeds him, but idk how much he should be drinking. Anything would help ALOT!!
P.S. Sorry if this is choppy. Long day at school plus four plus hours of homework can make you sound tired.
Thanks again.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
You're welcome for the first answer. It sounds like you are feeding Bud Kitten Milk Replacer. I'm glad that Bud is showing interest in nursing and that your mom is helping you out with him. At his age and with his tough beginnings, he should be fed as much and as often as he wants. He needs to rest for a few seconds while feeding so he doesn't overload his tummy. Feeding a baby this young and small can take a while and you shouldn't rush him. He also needs to have his back parts washed with a warm, wet towel to make him empty his bladder and defecate. This simulates how the mom will lick them to help them potty. He should also have his little face washed so no milk remains on his fur. If you or your mom have any chance to go, please take Bud to the vet as soon as you can. The vet can be VERY helpful in showing you how to take care of Bud to give him the best chance of making it and being your best friend for all his life.

I am also raising a young kitten. Her name is Duchess, at first she ate less then a tablespoon but ate EVERY 3-4 hours. Now she eats more every 5-6 hours [vets orders to start weaning her off] and she eats sometimes a tablespoon and more. She is a very happy kitten and does not over eat since she is never bloated.
I would say that you should let him eat as much as he wants, the kitten will know when to stop just like babies. I've heard about burping a kitten after feeding I have no idea if this is good or not, I don't always burp her since she burps herself. But helping stimulation of peeing will help him. Don't worry too much if he doesn't poop every time since what he is eating is liquid so there won't be a need of too much poop. As long as he is drinking and not bloated [meaning a hard stomach] then he is fine. As for how much he should eat, I'd say 4 table spoons a day maybe? Depending on how much he eats in one feeding and how often he is fed.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks, yes I was delighted with my time but also the way that the race went almost exactly to plan. It does sound like we had quite similar races, you were just a bit faster, especially in those last couple of miles.
I was feeling it a bit in my quads and glutes yesterday but overall my legs weren't too bad. I had a massage in the afternoon which helped, although I could have done without having to run for the train on the way there. Today I'm back at work and will be sitting at a desk most of the day, so I'll have to make sure I get up and move around as much as possible so I don't stiffen up too much. It hurt a bit when I got up after sitting on the train for 35 minutes this morning.
I loaded up the race details from my Garmin to Garmin Connect and looked at the route map and it definitely went haywire around Canary Wharf so that explains the time for mile 19.
Thanks to Clive, Angela, Malcs and carterusm as well!
Malcs wrote (see)
carterusm - many thanks. Were you running on Sunday? Sorry, not able to keep up - so much going on.
Malcs - it certainly has been rather busy on here recently !
I have entered Manchester marathon which is this Sunday but I have had to pull out with an ITB injury. I have got another 4/5 weeks of no running but will be going to the gym to try and keep some fitness going
We had to sprint for the train home Andy, cue hilarious comments from the runners already on board.
Malcs I read your race report on the other thread, really good fun.
I've taken a day off today Sarah, feel much better for it, I had some Night Nurse last night and slept like a log.. I stayed in bed till 10 then started working form home. This is so very similar to what I had in the Autumn, and I carried on working and it went on for weeks, so I shall stay off till it's better.
I am looking at a plan for Chester Marathon, 6th October. It is a great race, well worthy of all the praise on RW. I've got quite friendly with one of the organisers since the first one and I love the finish, along the river and through the racecourse. I know that I have a good base now, the race didn't go well but my training, particularly long runs, has been consistent so if I can work round a summer holiday then I will be going for 3:30 there instead.
Andy - well done on your sub 3:30. Brilliant!
Mr P - sorry it didn't happen for you this time but keep at it. It'll come.
Malcs - have you done a race report? I'm so pleased for you. Sub 3:15 next...
Sarah - I've just read your report and felt quite emotional. You race sounds almost step by step the same as mine. My garmin messed up to and I ran to feel for the last 6 or so miles.
I knew you'd do it. I know you were nervous and nerves are a good thing but there was really no need! I'm so proud of you. Its such a great achievement and I can't wait to see what you manage in the autumn.
I had a really easy job with you and basically you did it all yourself. Very well done.
Are you going to do that 5 mile race tomorrow night? I'll definitely not be running for a week!
Minni - many thanks indeed, you've been such a great help. Are you doing an autumn marathon?
Race report is on the Target 26.2 thread.
Nice of you to say but 3:15 seems more suitable a target for Sarah than me. I will definitely be looking for sub 3:30 though and because that's just a few minutes off I might even set a gold target of 3:20 something. If I could match Sarah's time this year (she'll be even faster next year) then that would be unbelievable. You've gotta dare to dream
Yes SeanAlexMartin, where are you? How did you get on? Did you manage to move your pen? We need to know!
Mr P - many thanks indeed. Chester is on my list of 'marathons that might not kill me' due to its position at the cooler end of the year. That said we've had some quite warm Octobers in the past. Hope I'm not tempting fate.
Best of luck with your recovery and I really hope that you have a great summer's training and nail it in Chester.
There's quite a few of us doing autumn marathons so it would be good if we could stay here (if Sarah will allow) to keep the moral support going.
Andy - what a great race you had, no wonder you are thrilled. It is indeed all the tall buildings that screw up the GPS around Canary Wharf. I used to write software for simulating satellite radio interference
Angela - don't think for a minute we haven't forgotton that you're still to come! We'll all be here to keep you going right up until race day.
I can completely understand your worry about undershooting your target. I had the same fears. I found one thing that helped was to remember that I am very comfortable at my marathon pace. If you are comfortable at MP and you've put in your long slow runs so you have the endurance, you're tapered well, carbo loaded and have a fueling strategy then if you stick rigidly to that pace you are almost guaranteed to succeed.
If you are comfortable at MP it means that you aren't over exerting yourself. You're not over using precious fuel supplies and over tiring your legs. It then comes down to endurance and if you have that then you will be fine.
Freak things like abnormal weather and illness can of course get in the way but you can't control these. You can control the above.
You've done your endurance. You will taper and carbo load properly and you will have a fueling strategy. Stick to MP all the way and you will nail it.
Dotty - did I miss something? You did race didn't you? You forget to say how you got on!
PS. I was behind someone in a mankini last year - still having nightmares about that one. I heard the wedgie was so bad he needed surgery to remove it.
Wow! Fantastic result Dotty. And that was with you dropping off at the end you say? What pace did you average for the first 30K then? Must have been flying.
Very well done indeed!
PS. a little less modesty in future please - we all want to know how you get on particularly if it's a good one!
Out tonight just 3.3 but a long road to go
3:30 or bust - wrong thread! Not that it matters. There are two RW Forum Six sub 3:30 threads and my name is attached to both! lol

A combine rewind on what we heard from the Houston Texans in Indianapolis…
Connor Barwin is a core player: Sure he is, as long as he's affordable. Barwin had 11.5 sacks in 2011 and there was an offer on the table as the 2012 season kicked off. He passed, and was far less productive after his gamble. General manager Rick Smith can call him core, but to me a core guy is one you can't survive without, and they certainly should be able to replace him if he finds a free-agent deal that compels him to leave.
They seem content with what they have on the right side of the offensive line: They platooned at both right tackle and right guard in 2012, and it sounds like they'll be content to allow Brandon Brooks or Ben Jones to slug it out at right guard (or perhaps split time again) and see Derek Newton as the right tackle going forward.
They will keep the option of a franchise tag for Glover Quin as a possibility for as long as possible: The safety tag is about $7 million. It's a palatable number, but the Texans have only $5.768 million in cap room. If they can't reach a long-term deal that will produce a lower salary-cap number for 2013, tagging Quin will force the team to restructure a deal or two or cut someone that helps create room.
Brooks Reed could play inside: But that doesn't mean the Texans are planning to move him. Gary Kubiak made it sound like they want more of a contingency plan if they have the sort of issues inside like they did last season. Move Reed inside and you create a hole outside, especially if Barwin leaves.
They're still a young team, experiencing what they need to in order to make a jump: Yada, yada. This was quite a bit of spin, but what else can Smith say at this point when evaluating where the team stands? "We're going to continue to add players, which is what this weekend is all about," he said. "But I see a group of men that have gotten the experience that's necessary to go make a real run at it and I think that's where we are right now."
A young quarterback is always a possibility: Said Kubiak, "In this business, you better be looking for young quarterbacks you think have a chance to be a 10-, 12-year guy. This year will be no different." T.J. Yates isn't a sure thing. But the Texans only carried two quarterbacks in 2013, so the team would have to find someone it prefers to Yates in order to draft a QB. I don't think they spend a premium pick on the position.

You don't need to be invisible to carry out clandestine military missions in hostile terrain. But something like it sure helps. That's why U.S. Special Operations Command is focusing its research and development efforts this year on things like keeping humans' presence cloaked, of the presence of humans, enhancing night-time feelers, and maintaining an acute sensitivity to information-gathering sensors in the battlefield.
Lisa Sanders, the Deputy Director of Science and Technology at SOCOM lists Special Operation Forces' top priorities in the months to come as technologies that enhanced commando invisibility on special missions. "Invisible doesn't mean the Klingon cloaking device," she tells National Defense magazine, "We operate in environments where we just don't want to stand out."
So in the pipeline is equipment designed to conceal human heat signatures and visual signals from enemy sensors. To preserve Special Operations' nocturnal monopoly, their aims also include development of technologies that will enhance night-time operations. Digital technology to sharpen human predatory vision in the dark is a top priority, said Sanders.
Another priority is understanding unfamiliar battle terrain. To make special ops commanders more aware of their environment, SOCOM R&D will focus on creating better sensors, jammers and radar technologies. The algorithms that underlie intelligence sensors will be fine-tuned to increase sensitivity and data-gathering capabilities. In forest settings, a new solution is required to visually penetrate dense plant undergrowth at the ground level, said Sanders.
Swerving slightly from technologies that streamline stealth and stalking capabilities, another of SOCOM's short-term research goals is "extended duration incapacitation." Translation: Sub-lethal injuries that last just long enough to disarm the enemy. An appeal for applied research into this field was extended by the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate in 2007 and since then a host of less-lethals—including tasers, puke rays and bright lights—have entered the military marketplace.
SOCOM's main concern is that their missions often take place among "mixed populations" of civilians and fighters. Something that looks like a baby could turn out to be a gun and vice versa, Sanders tells National Defense. So the commandos are developing a taser-like weapon that would be a little less harmful to the kid.
Still: Tasing a baby? Maybe they should stick to invisibility, instead.

I think this is pretty synonymous with most Vancouverites, but I love heading down to the states for shopping! The prices are just so much cheaper than the stores that we have here in Vancouver, especially when it comes to clothing. So after spending a few hours at Nordstrom Rack and Alderwood mall in Lynnwood, my parents and I decided to stop by Pho36 for a cheap and fast meal.
A2 – Goi Cuon:
Their summer roll was big and well worth the price of just under 4 dollars, I believe. The shrimp was plump and had a nice snap to them. The rice wrapper wasn't too thick and had a nice chewy consistency. 'The vegetables were fresh and I really enjoyed this roll. The sauce was just a simple peanut sauce.
This isn't on the menu on their website but I believe it was named "pho special" or something like that. The broth was too light and lacked any depth in flavours. The noodles were alright, not overcooked till it was mushy so that's good. As you can see in the picture, there was barely any meat in this bowl of noodles.
C8 – Com Ga Nuong:
Grilled chicken served with rice and vegetables. The chicken was grilled nicely, with a lovely smoky taste. However, they were sliced very weirdly and some pieces were like little blocks so that kind of threw me off when eating it. The rice served alongside the chicken was a bit dry. Veggies were veggies.
N3 – Bun Thit Nuong, Cha Gio:
Grilled pork, spring roll, and salad served on vermicelli noodles. The pork had a nice smoky flavouring to it, but it was just a bit too dry and overcooked. The spring roll was good, flavourful and crispy without being too oily. There were A LOT of veggies for the salad but it tasted fresh and helped cut down the heaviness of the other components in the dish. The noodles were slightly overcooked.
In general, I enjoyed the food at Pho36. The prices are really cheap and the food is not bad. There are a few things that could use some improvement, but I still enjoyed the dishes. I do believe that pho is not their strongest point, so I would suggest ordering one of their other dishes!

How Twitter Helped Japan
Posted by Elizabeth Shaw on March 14, 2011

It has been horrible to hear the news of Japan's crippling 8.9 earthquake and the threats and aftershocks that have followed. As a Bay Area resident, earthquakes are top of mind and you just hope another "big one" will never come. Imagine the look on my face when my husband showed me the video he took from our porch of the tsunami wave that traveled from Japan and swept our city's bay a mere 14 hours later. I was in complete disbelief. A wave created from an earthquake in Japan sent all the way to California? Mother Nature has shown us again that she is not to be tested.
There have been many stories in the news about social media and the role it's played since the earthquake. Victims of the quake and families of victims have turned to social media to find loved ones, search for the missing and bring attention to further threats from nuclear power plant explosions to local fires. Without a doubt, Twitter's been a front runner in this story. The average number of tweets on a given day is around 37 million. On the day of the quake, more than 117 millions tweets hit the Web. Moreover, more than 572,000 new Twitter accounts have been created since the quake. Those numbers are staggering.
Instances like these remind me of why I love social media. In addition to the opportunity if creates for marketers to engage in a dialogue with consumers and build relationships, it also bring us — the world — closer together. Social media has turned an incident from the other side of the world into feeling like it was in my own backyard. Now, that's pretty powerful. Show your support to victims and see what others are saying, use #HelpJapan and/or #PrayForJapan in your next tweet.
How selective a look....
Comment from Eric Woning (not verified) on Tue, 03/15/2011 - 03:36
'Pearl Harbor' also was a trending topic that day on Twitter - because a lot of Americans chose to see this as a retribution from God /Karma for the attack of the Japanese on Perl Harbor.
Of course a greater outrage came from the world on those who did this.
Please don't be too selctive in your showing what social entails: it brings out the best and the worst!
Where to begin...

This is a stunningly mis-guided and unfortunate post.
First, "How Twitter Saved Japan"?! Mindful this is a family marketing blog I will still hazard an incredulous "WTF?"
With every hour we learn of the increasingly disastrous developments there, with possible nuclear meltdown, thousands of bodies just now washing ashore, crammed shelters filling with cold, hungry and desperate citizens --- and a Forrester analyst is touched sufficiently by her view of the ripple effect washing ashore in safe San Francisco to tweet a relief hashtag and suggesting Twitter is "saving japan"?
Secondly, was your Twitter account on the fritz during the Iranian Green revolution? The twin Haiti disasters? The Egyptian uprising?
Sometimes, and I speak from experience, it is well worth saying nothing at all.

Social media was the saver
Comment from shane miller (not verified) on Tue, 03/22/2011 - 07:30
Ya actually i heard about the news of the social media sites helping to put updates on them when japan was literally covered in fumes and destruction.Actually there was no contact through land lines and mobiles,so people just put the updates on Facebook and twitter for their friends and relatives that they are safe.

Olive Oil-Anise Cakes
The secret to these diminutive desserts' moist texture is olive oil, which also mellows the anise and orange that permeate each bite. Although the cakes are compelling on their own, a scoop of vanilla ice cream would sweeten the deal.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2008
- Vegetable oil, cooking spray
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packed teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons anise seeds, lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2/3 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat four 1-cup mini Bundt pans with cooking spray. Whisk eggs, yolk, granulated sugar, orange zest, and anise seeds in a medium bowl until foamy. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until combined.
Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Fold into egg mixture in 3 additions. Divide batter evenly among pans, and bake until light gold and testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire racks, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve warm.

Top 10 wines in the UK press
Jane MacQuitty picks out a wine you can "jump into the warm weather with", while Jancis Robinson MW recommends a "beautifully balanced red".
Writing in the Financial Times, Robinson focuses on the Bordeaux 2012 en primeur campaign, she wrote: "This is very far from a bombastic vintage swaggering about, demonstrating its obvious qualities as 2009 and 2010 did. This is indeed a small, cunning, cowering, timorous vintage made, when truly successful (as it is only in a minority of cases), by the skin of its teeth and with huge effort and cost in the vineyard and cellar.
"As for the panic, there is certainly a distinct air of it about the process of selling these wines, particularly after a dismal 2011 en primeur campaign. In the current economic situation, and with China much less enthusiastic, who will buy them? And, crucially, when?"
In The Times, MacQuitty writes about buying fine wine in a supermarket, adding that "drinking less but drinking better" has been the calling card of her column for years. She added: "At last there are signs that Britain's drinkers are getting serious about wine and starting to trade up. Wine merchants have been celebrating the double-digit growth in all price bands above £7 a bottle since the new year."

A while back, I shared my thoughts and experiences with the social oddity of dining with one's lonesome, one of the many realities of heading off into the world on a solo adventure. If you like splashing around in the waves and getting a bit of color, then going to the beach alone is also likely to be an inevitable experience. It wasn't until I spent a month in Valencia, Spain that I first had to contemplate this shifty maze of both emotional and logistical challenges. Unlike dining alone, going to a public beach alone presents additional obstacles such as the guarding your valuables and the application of sunblock, in addition to feeling self-conscious about being seen alone and in a bikini no less (speedo for you adventurous boys out there).
The Emotional Hump
First let's address the whole 'feeling extra self-conscious' about going to the beach by yourself and baring your half-naked body for all to see and judge. I don't know how the male contingent feels about this subject, but I would venture to say a higher percentage of women have some kind of anxiety about appearing in the public eye in their bathing costumes, and this anxiety is probably amplified if you're all by yourself with no distractions to keep you from fixating on that anxiety.
So how does one resolve these less than enthusiastic feelings about sunbathing alone in order to move on with life and enjoy splashing around in the waves? The first step is identifying the root cause of aforementioned anxiety which I think breaks down into two groups. There are those of us who have actually been directly insulted and thus can relate to a previous negative experience, and then there are those of us who do the insulting and whose subconscious is telling them that if they're insulting others, chances are that others are insulting them.
Some people may be shocked to hear this but my anxiety actually stems from being a member of the former group. I've heard, "Oh you have nothing to worry about, you're so skinny." This is true to an extent, but then again, I've most often heard this from the same people who are quick to make jokes about my less than ample bosom. From what seemed like light-hearted and socially acceptable chiding, stems one of my biggest insecurities as a woman – my small breasts. Since I generally don't like putting my well meaning friends in a spotlight to be judged more so than they already are, prancing around in a bathing suit always had its downsides for me. What got me over the hump was first a mix of surrounding myself with non-catty female friends, and later on when I was forced to go it alone, it was a matter of necessity. I would either be comfortable going to the beach alone or I would miss out on a beautiful day enjoying the waves and the sunshine. From that point on, it was a slippery slope of self acceptance and confidence that fed me right into the nudist beach in St. Maarten where I merrily ran off into the sea with naughty bits a-flying. I can't be sure of how this burst of confidence came about, but I like to count this as another case of my want to enjoy life overcoming my fear of judgment.
To think that I transformed from the awkward teenager who wore a t-shirt over her bathing suit to the nutty free-spirit who is all about public nudity, reminds me that yes, people fucking change man. In the end, I think one gets over the emotional challenges to sunbathing alone the same way one starts to enjoy dining alone. You simply have to say, "Fuck other peoples' opinions", and move on with it. If enjoying life and all the fruits of nature really are that important to you, then it really is that simple.
The Logistical Hump
Now that the heavy content of this post is sorted, it's time to examine the logistical challenges of heading to the beach with no friends, which in my opinion, fosters an environment of creative solutions and hilarious social situations. The main problems I've encountered have been safeguarding my shit from beach robbers and applying sunblock to my upper middle back.
Problem #1 – Not Getting Robbed
Here's the situation where I think one can come up with some creative solutions to solving a financial security problem. You walk out to the beach intending to enjoy a day of bronzing your skin mixed with dipping in the water, but soon realize that there's no one left behind to watch your things while doing said dipping and you're not sure if you can trust the people around you.
The first solution is: Don't bring anything valuable! Read: your iPod, phone, camera, etc. That's easy enough, but then there's the money issue. You're not sure if you'll need money at the beach to buy a beer, pay to use the bathroom or some other necessity that might come up. In Valencia, I sucked it up at the beginning and just didn't go in the water when I was by myself (this is probably why I was able to tan so much). Then I decided to risk it and only bring a small amount of money with me so if it was stolen while I was in the water, it would be no big deal. Later on, I decided to go to a smaller less crowded beach where I could park my stuff close enough to the water to keep an eye on it.
These methods were all fine and were the only practical solutions giving that I needed to travel on the metro just to get out to the beach, but for the most part in South America, I've found myself staying at beaches where my hostel was always within walking distance. This made my life a lot easier, but I still decided to adapt my behavior to make for a more stress free beach visit. I ate, drank beer and bought a bottle of water before heading to the beach so ideally all I would need to bring is the bottle of water and a beach towel. Yes there are some really cruel people out there, but for the most part you can rest assured that the average beach robber isn't going to steal your bottle of water and towel. For the time I did bring money, I placed it in a ziplock bag and stuck it in my bikini top. This got me thinking that now would be the perfect time to solicit any and all inventors out there to create a bathing suit that has hidden lined pockets with zippers. This concept would be a huge hit with all of the solo adventurer women out there!
Problem #2 – Successfully Applying Sunblock
Oy, this one is the bane of my existence. Sure I like to get a nice tan as much as the next person, but I also have this thing about protecting my skin and not burning. To this end, I always apply sunblock before heading to the beach. However, I like many other people out there, cannot contort well enough to reach the middle of my upper back. I need assistance, and being a lonely little traveler, I'm forced to either forgo sunblock on my back or ask a stranger to assist me. It's option #2 that provides for some of the more funnier experiences in man/woman social dynamics.
Whenever I need to ask someone to apply sunblock to my back, I almost always defer to the nearest female. Women are not weird about this sort of thing and are thorough in covering every area of your back. Men however, become head cases.
I don't know when exactly this happens, but at some point in our development as adults, applying lotion of any sort to the body of a member of the opposite sex in any context becomes an overly sexual activity. Perhaps it's cultural references or perhaps it's an innate biological urge that is stirred by the act. I have no clue, but all I know is that the sexualization of applying lotion and as an extension sunblock, has been a cause for both headache and amusement on my part.
The headache comes from debating on who to ask, but the amusement results from the male approach to strange feminine creatures who make the obviously seductive request. I feel like there are a plethora of approaches to avoid what could be an awkward situation. My favorite one is the "Just One of the Guys" approach. While I was on the shrimp farm in Ecuador, I wore a halter top one day and asked one of the other male volunteers to rub some sunblock on my back. He swiftly grabbed the bottle and aggressively massaged that shit into my back. I fail to remember all of the details but I think he actually slapped my shoulder at one point. He was definitely sending the message that this was a man's massage and there would be nothing relaxing or enjoyable about this. When he was finished I thought I should grunt my 'Thank you' and bump fists to reassure him that I got the message.
Then there's the most frequent instance of the "Chatty Cathy" massage. In this maneuver, a guy will talk to you a lot while he's applying the sunblock as if he's trying to send the message that he's not hiding any of his thoughts and feels completely normal about this. He also probably wants a fist bump at the end, but will continue chatting away so you don't jump to any conclusions about his intentions.
The "I Swear I'm Not a Creep" massage is always fun too. This affable gentlemen will always clarify which parts of the back you want covered so as not to offend you by overreaching with his authority. A guy once asked, "Okay is that enough?" "No, you only got my spine." He then proceeded to ask twice more which parts I wanted covered.
I can't be sure of the intent behind the odd behavior that men exhibit when asked to apply sunblock. Perhaps they think I'm hitting on them or perhaps they're nervous that sunblock application is too excitable a task for them to complete without incident. I don't know, but the spectacular range of odd behavior that ensues as a result of my requests is motivation enough for me to continue my harassment of the unsuspecting male backpacker.
There you have it, master the practices of not giving a shit about others' opinions, carry ziplock bags and wrangle a young innocent into lathering you up in sunblock and you'll be on your way to enjoy the beach without friends in no time.

News & Interviews for Joe Versus the Volcano
Critic Reviews for Joe Versus the Volcano
All Critics (28) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (11) | DVD (4)
Playwright John Patrick Shanley made his movie directing debut with this defiantly strange, totally under-appreciated, yet completely wonderful romantic comedy.
Like Woody Allen's filmmaking evolution played out in reverse: it starts as smart, existential black comedy and ends in broad, zany caricature.
A more fascinating mess you'll never find.
The unredeemable result of Hollywood's total capitulation to the Spielberg/Lucas aesthetic of the 80s.
Audience Reviews for Joe Versus the Volcano
Ahhh, the days of sweet youth! Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan look like high school kids in this little comedic trinket that waxes slightly philosophical. Starting out pretty good, reminiscent of Gilliam's "Brazil", it unfortunately degenerates into a misguided and wayward snicker about all those Hollywood movies dreaming about the good life on some tropical isle somewhere. In between there's a message about appreciating life no matter what, and having good luggage. Hanks plays the affable man/boy that made him popular while Ryan has 3 roles, playing herself as the third. You might want to like it more than you actually do.
Super Reviewer
An Average Joe. An Adventurous Comedy. Not so bad as it's said to be. The movie is probably too allegorical for most tastes, but this is a good tale about a character afraid of life, afraid of that next step, who finds his courage and puts his foot forward again. Joe versus the Volcano is a fable which opens with somewhat surrealistic scenes of the dehumanization of Joe Bank's job and work environment (at a company whose product rather literally screws people) with imagery that seems to have been inspired by the classic film Metropolis. Joe is diagnosed with an incurable disease, quits his dehumanizing job, and accepts an offer to briefly "live like a king, die like a man" - but to fulfill his agreement he must willingly jump into a live volcano on the island of Waponi Woo in order to appease the volcano god. En route to the island, Joe meets a series of interesting characters in NYC and LA, then boards a yacht, captained by Patricia Graynamore. During the voyage Joe and Patricia survive disaster, fall in love, and finally arrive at the island where they face their destiny.
Super Reviewer
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks prove once again that they have incredible movie chemistry. Meg Ryan plays 3 astonishingly different women, Dee dee, the shy women, who works with Joe Banks (Hanks), Angelica, the messed up woman living off of daddy's money and the independent and confidant, Patricia. Tom Hanks plays Joe, a man you fears everything in life. This is one of those movies that you'll want to watch again and again for many years to come (:

The new Web site Designers & Books, created by Steve Kroeter, and superbly designed by Pentagram, celebrates that "particularly special and robust relationship between designers and books: reading them, writing them, designing them, collecting them, learning from them, and being inspired by them." Prominent designers from an array of disciplines identify books that were seminal in shaping their lives and work. So far, more than seven hundred books have been named by fifty-two designers, who are as likely to find inspiration in Tolstoy and Nabokov as in classic visual texts (Le Corbusier, John Berger, and Josef-Müller Brockmann are all named). The reasons the designers give for selecting a book are often illuminating: you may have heard "The Great Gatsby" recommended a thousand times, but it takes Michael Bierut to praise it for being the only book in which "a billboard gets to be a main character." The logo prodigy Sagi Haviv looks to "Crime and Punishment" when he tries to "encapsulate great complexities in something incredibly simple and iconic."
Designers & Books presents itself as a designer-curated master class that encourages student participation. Users can create their own reading list—a place to stash books glimpsed while browsing by designer, title, author, genre, or essential reads for a particular field. There are also featured essays (I like this one, by Margaret McCurry, who was once called "the Jane Austen of architects"). New names and titles are constantly being added, and lively conversations often break out among designers and readers. The result is completely enchanting—a place to find out what inspires those who inspire you most.

Deal or no deal? Let the community decide
Every day we're pulling in around 500 new deals from various sites across the web. We only list offers from reputable operators, however sometimes what looks like a great deal is proven otherwise when you start to dig into the detail. Checking the validity of each and every offer just isn't possible for our small team, so instead we're inviting the community to become judge and jury.
From today, every member can post their questions and comments for every deal featured on Buyometric. Have you researched an offer? Then let the community know. Is it a good or terrible deal? Let the community know. Have you found a better price? Let the community know. You get the picture.
To access the discussion pages, click the "Discuss this deal" link on your Buyometric email. If you're browsing the website, the discussion area will be very clear on each page.
To aid your detective work, we've also introduced some useful tools. For hotel and restaurant deals we're now pulling in reviews from Yelp and Google Places. For products, you can easily share links to the same item on other websites so that other members of the community can easily see whether the price is the best available.
So how do we know who all the superheros are? Check out our new community pages for a weekly league table of the most active members of the community (you must be logged in to view this page). For each valid comment you'll receive reputation points. The greater your reputation, the more we'll let you engage with the website.

from this picture your cat looks like a little boy. In males the anus and urinary tract are further apart (about 1cm in kittens) than that of females whose anus and urinary tract are almost adjacent.

Hello :)) your cat is a female!! :)
Leroy answered on 3/3/13. Helpful? / 0
Although the other 2 posters gave it a try, it's really not possible to tell from a photo if a cat is a male or female. There must be a hands-on exam done by a vet. If your cat is 8 months old, is not "fixed" and has never been to a vet, you need to get him or her to one now for vaccinations and spay or neuter. There are low-cost vet clinics in almost every city now and you can find them through a rescue or shelter. Until then, as your cat is old enough to breed whether it's a male or a female, please keep him/her inside.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC (AP) — A Winston-Salem man has died after a shootout climaxed a nearly two-hour standoff with police.
Police Capt. Bill Cobb says 64-year-old Donald Ray Moore was found dead Wednesday afternoon when officers entered a home following the shooting.
An autopsy is planned to determine whether Moore shot himself or was killed by police.
Cobb says officers were called to the home by a family member who said Moore was behaving erratically. Officers were talking with Moore's wife when he came out of the house with a gun.
He went back into the house and officers tried to talk him into surrendering.
Police say Moore then fired several shots and officers returned fire. Officers then went into the house and found Moore's body.
No other injuries were reported.

Arts Brookfield Presents an Egg-cellent Performance
Posted by May 02, 2014 0 comments
As part of Americans for the Arts' Internship Program, my fellow interns and staff recently took an office field trip to see a unique public dance performance entitled Yolk by dance company Third Rail Projects. The performance was part of a series of events presented this spring at locations throughout Manhattan by Arts Brookfield, the cultural arm of Brookfield Office Properties. Yolk ran from April 8-10 at the plaza of the Grace Building, a Brookfield property located in Midtown Manhattan.
The piece featured two performers, one dressed in silver, the other in gold, dancing in and around large open eggshells accompanied by electronic music. Third Rail Projects is a multi-disciplinary performance company, and Yolk showcased Third Rail Projects' explorations fusing dance, installation art, and performance in the public sphere. I watched as a crowd, made up of passersby and employees from nearby businesses (particularly the Grace Building), gathered to view the performance during their lunch hour and was able to see, firsthand, how such a performance could engage employees of the Grace Building and surrounding businesses. It was then that I realized that the performance was less about two girls dancing in fiberglass eggs, but rather the experience it was creating for those in attendance.
Brookfield Office Properties, a commercial real estate company, presents arts programming to over 25 buildings worldwide. Since the establishment of Arts Brookfield in 1988, the company has been a leader in creating partnerships between the arts and its business partners by offering free-to-the-public performances and exhibitions. Hosting arts performances and events is just one tool that Brookfield Offices Properties uses to reach new leasing business customers and their employees. By providing a relatively untapped incentive to its lessees through the arts, Brookfield Office Properties is able to build its competitive advantage while enriching the community in which its employees and business partners live and work. It is a model from which other businesses should garner inspiration—looking to the arts as an ally that can assist in meeting business goals.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: open
I wonder whether it's possible to extract text of a webpage? Suppose I have following text.

This is my text which is anchored as well as bold but
 it's not so good
.
and I can fetch just text within Tags? Do keep in mind that tags are not pre defined.
somebody suggested to use Lynx on Linux platform. I wonder whether there is any JS based solution?

Webmaster World

Hello and welcome to Webmaster World! Now get going!
Then you want to get a string like this:
Webmaster World Hello and welcome to Webmaster World! Now get going!
Is that what you're trying to accomplish?
* Get all text nodes at or beneath node n, concatenate the text
* and return it as a single string.
* @param {DOMNode} n The node to get the text at
* @return The concatenated string
function getText(n) {
var s = [];
function getStrings(n, s) {
var m;
if (n.nodeType == 3) { // TEXT_NODE
else if (n.nodeType == 1) { // ELEMENT_NODE
for (m = n.firstChild; null != m; m = m.nextSibling) {
getStrings(m, s);
getStrings(n, s);
var result = s.join(" ");
return result;
Note, in this example I concatenate all of the text nodes putting a space between them. If, however, you have inline elements like this:
Then you'll end up with an extra space in the text that is retreived.
Hope this is enough to get you started.
I think that's a pretty standard regex string.
Mystring.replace(/<[^>]+>�&[^;]+;/g,'').replace(/ {2,}/g,' ')
The first replace strips tags, the html comment, and entities. The second reduces two or more consecutive spaces to one space.

Archived exhibitions are no longer available for booking but are maintained as a virtual record of past Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) programs.
Would your organization like to reduce its carbon footprint? Have you thought about ways to incorporate/reuse/recycle materials from old exhibits, activities, or projects? Would renewable energy, organic food, climate change, and other environmental issues strike a chord with your visitors or community?
SITES is partnering with Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry to present Green Revolution, a fully digital exhibition that gives host organizations the power to build (and control) their own "eco-zibit." In an effort to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint, Green Revolution doesn't "travel" on trucks. Instead, it's transmitted online—from a secured website to your computer. There are no crates needed.
We supply partners with professionally produced design files for exhibition panels and interactives, and YOU take those blueprints to build your own presentation with reused or repurposed materials. A perfect opportunity to give new life to old items while decreasing clutter and increasing the storage capacity of your facility, Green Revolution is a multi-platform initiative that focuses on several major themes: waste, energy, green pioneers, gardening and composting, green construction, and our carbon footprint.
Multiple hands-on learning stations give this exhibition a green light for families and school groups. But, it has something for everyone—as compelling for kids as for those who have a more earnest environmental message to convey.
Design plans and graphics will be available only to Green Revolution participants.

Smithsonian Offers A New Take on Temporary Exhibition with Virtually No Carbon Footprint
The typical recipe for traveling a museum exhibition is to pack objects into crates, load them onto trucks, and then have those trucks travel the highways to museums across the country. The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) is partnering with the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI) to present an innovative, temporary museum exhibit with virtually no carbon footprint that provides kids and their families with easy lifestyle changes they can make to be more environmentally responsible.
With "Green Revolution" participating museums receive all of the necessary design files and instructions digitally, allowing them to construct their very own home grown "eco-zibit" from re-used, recycled materials found within their local community.
The exhibition content is organized around the major themes of Energy, Climate, Food and Composting, and Waste and Recycling. Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve and the City of Southlake, Texas, will be first community in the nation to present the exhibition when it opens on April 17—perfectly timed to mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22. Nature Center volunteers are currently designing and collecting used materials to repurpose into creative and educational displays that will inspire people of every age to be part of "Green Revolution." They will host two community days where interested community members can help build components for the exhibition.
"Green Revolution" is based on the exhibition by the same name developed by MSI as part of their Black Creativity program. The exhibition also includes educational resources, videos, and an interactive computer program.
The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago offers thousands of fun and interactive exhibits and one-of-akind, world-class experiences to inspire the inventive genius in everyone. Through its Center for the Advancement of Science Education, MSI also aspires to a larger vision: to inspire and motivate children to achieve their full potential in science, technology, medicine and engineering. For more information, find MSI online at msichicago.org.
SITES has been sharing the wealth of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people outside Washington, D.C., for more than 55 years. SITES connects Americans to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science and history, which are shown wherever people live, work and play.

AVONDALE, Ariz – NASCAR chairman Brian France spent a few minutes – literally – talking to the assembled media on Friday about the two-man Chase for the Nextel Cup, the future of New Hampshire Motor Speedway and sagging television ratings.
Here's what he had to say:
QUESTION: The idea of a four-car cap per team was to promote parity. How do you feel about that when you have two guys racing for the championship from the same team?
BRIAN FRANCE: Our preference is to see as many non-team members compete, but that's the nature of some of the teams that have multi-talented, good drivers. Nothing you can do about it. I actually think that Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson – just because of the last two tracks – I think that Jeff is going to run better here and I think it could be very, very close going into Sunday, a week from Sunday, rather. All things being equal, we would like to see 12 different drivers from 12 different teams, sure, but that's not how it always works.
QUESTION: Anything you can do to the Chase, tweaking it, to improve that?
BF: No, we can't predict who is going to be good … in a given year. We can't predict that. That's why they race.
QUESTION: Expanding the Chase and adding the bonus points (for wins in the first 26 races), how has that worked out and will you make any tweaks to the Chase next year?
BF: I think it's worked. We may do a little more of it or something. What Jimmie Johnson did, I actually called him on the phone and told him that by going after that win (at Richmond, the final race of the regular season) because he knew how close that was. He knew that those bonus points may be necessary to win it all. I think in the old days, a couple of years ago, somebody might have settled for second. He took a lot of chances, and I hope that it was because the rewards were such that that counts. That's what I'm hearing.
QUESTION: Jeff Gordon said today that the only thing that concerns him is you can't compare era from era with the Chase. Is that a concern of yours that the legacy of the sport has been altered a bit with the Chase?
BF: We thought about that and the truth is it's had lots of changes over the years. Used to have 50 or 60 races. We have lots of different periods in our history; it would be hard to compare apples to apples anyway. That's just the nature of it.
QUESTION: Your schedule is set, but have you thought down the road, now that Bruton Smith has bought New Hampshire, about what the possibilities are regarding moving some dates around if that were to come up?
BF: Yeah, we certainly have and have had conversations. They're not anything new. It will make some realignment opportunities for SMI (Smith's Speedway Motorsports Inc.) more possible. We'll have to see what they bring to us and what they think will work for them.
QUESTION: Do you want to keep two races in the Boston market?
BF: I think two events working as well as those two events were, you would like to think that they would work best there versus taking one somewhere else. I think they've got to get in there, Bruton and Humpy [Wheeler] and those guys and determine some of that on your own.
QUESTION: You talked last year that TV ratings were down to some degree because NBC wasn't promoting the races as well in the last year of their contract. This year you're seeing some drops in the Chase. How do you look at that?
BF: Well, look, the television ratings for almost everything are down. Prime-time, daytime, sports, whatever else. We're probably a victim of that to some level. You have to remember, we're still posting big audiences, and our TV partners are very satisfied. We'd love to be growing at better rates but we're not contracting at all. We're pretty satisfied that the storylines in the future, as things go on on television, we'll be fine with television ratings.''
QUESTION: What about expansion abroad?
BF: Well, I'll take a look at it. There's nothing on the horizon beyond Montreal and Mexico City that we're looking (at), but we get opportunities to look at all the time. As I said in my remarks earlier (in a panel group), being in position one day to maybe take some advantage of those, it's not in the foreseeable future, but we should at some point have an opportunity.''

Where to watch the Seahawks in Ballard

Americans have direct access to Taliban No. 2
By Adam Entous
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. investigators have recently been given more regular direct access to Pakistani-led interrogations of the Afghan Taliban's No. 2 leader, U.S. officials said on Wednesday, one month after his arrest was announced.
Pakistani limitations on U.S. access to Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar have been a source of tension since he was captured in the port city of Karachi. The joint operation that nabbed the Taliban's top military commander has been so shrouded in secrecy that U.S. and Pakistani officials could not even say with certainty what day it took place.
It was unclear whether the direct U.S. access, disclosed by U.S. officials who requested anonymity, was yielding useful intelligence.
But the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, held out Baradar's arrest as a potential game-changer, telling reporters separately that it "seems to have shaken the confidence of some of the Afghan Taliban leadership." McChrystal did not discuss the interrogation issue.
Previously undisclosed details about the joint U.S.-Pakistani raid, believed to have taken place in late January, shed new light on what has been described in Washington as a major intelligence and propaganda coup that could open divisions within Taliban ranks and weaken a deadly insurgency after eight years of war.
But many questions remain unanswered, such as whether Pakistan's powerful intelligence service was turning against its long-time Taliban allies, or took action against Baradar to ensure its interests would be represented in any future reconciliation process.
"We see indications that they are trying to figure out what way ahead that they should plot," McChrystal told reporters in a conference call from Afghanistan, referring to the tentative response of Taliban leaders to Baradar's arrest.
Mark Sedwill, a British diplomat serving as the senior NATO civilian official in Afghanistan, said: "In a sense I think they (Afghan Taliban leaders) are recalibrating because they don't yet know where they stand. That's a good thing -- we want them to be uncertain about their future." Continued...

Search continues for SUV involved in Vegas shooting
LAS VEGAS - Police in Nevada have contacted authorities in three states about a Range Rover being sought after gunshots and a fiery crash on the Las Vegas Strip.
Police say someone in the SUV opened fire on a Maserati that crashed into a cab. Two people in the cab and the Maserati driver died.
Las Vegas police Sgt. John Sheahan said the Range Rover was last seen near the Venetian resort as it headed north from the shooting scene on Las Vegas Boulevard.
One tourist compared the dramatic scene - with bullets fired from the black Range Rover into the gray Maserati - to a violent action movie. The shooting marked the latest violent episode on the Strip since the beginning of the year.
