Former Vice President Dick Cheney had a heart transplant Saturday and is recovering at a Virginia hospital, his office said.
An aide to Cheney disclosed that the 71-year-old, who has had a long history of cardiovascular trouble including numerous heart attacks, had been waiting for a transplant for more than 20 months.
Gosh golly gee. Two things come to mind: (1) I hope he's thanking We the People for paying (yikes, socialized medicine!) his bazillion dollar medical bills since the 1970s and (2) maybe this transplant will actually, you know, give him a heart.
U.S. Military Sending in One Insane Chart
If we continue to increase military spending, or if we leave it as it is, we deserve what we get: teacher shortages, crumbling infrastructure, privatized police and fire departments, no money for this and no money for that:
There are Hoodies and There Are Hoodies
I was watching Melissa Harris-Perry's show this morning when she made a great point: that there are hoodies and there are hoodies. Some people might think an African-American male wearing a dark sweatshirt-type hoodie on a dark night is a scary thing. But Harris-Perry said this is the kind of hoodie that frightens her:
What Harris-Perry said hit me right between the eyes. I realized I'd been thinking of sweatshirt-type "hoodies." I realized that ever since the conversation about Trayvon Martin began, all we've been talking about is that kind of hoodie. An image of the "hoodies" above hadn't entered my mind. So thanks Melissa for making me realize that African-American males who wear hoodies don't have a corner on the market when it comes to "hoodies" frightening people.
Pure Joy
There are a lot of videos out there of dogs welcoming their soldier "parent" home, but the dog in this video seems to me to be particularly expressive and joyful and fun to watch. It brought a smile to my face.

CANADA STOCKS-Futures reverse losses to point to higher open as dollar weakens
(Updates U.S. economic data)
March 27 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index futures reversed course to point to a higher open on Friday as the U.S. dollar weakened and as U.S. economic growth cooled and corporate profits slipped.
June futures on the S&P TSX index were up 0.2 percent at 8:45 a.m. ET. They were down 0.14 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.
U.S. economic growth cooled in the fourth quarter as previously estimated, with businesses throttling back on inventory and equipment investment but robust consumer spending limiting the slowdown in the pace of activity.
Canada's main stock index slipped on Thursday as pessimism about economic growth hit banks and insurers, offsetting limited resource stock gains on the back of Middle Eastern violence that pushed oil prices higher.
No major Canadian economic events are scheduled for Friday.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were down 0.13 percent at 8:45 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 0.07 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were down 0.08 percent. (Morning News Call newsletter link.reuters.com/nex49s; The Day Ahead newsletter link.reuters.com/mex49s)
BlackBerry Ltd posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings on Friday, offering signs its turnaround efforts may be beginning to gain traction, but a larger-than-expected drop in revenue worried investors. Continued...

Loeb Talks "Buffy," Confirms "New Ultimates"
|"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20 on sale this week
Somehow, in between smashing the Marvel Universe with a raging Rulk and disassembling the Ultimate Universe with Magneto and Doctor Doom, superstar writer Jeph Loeb found time to pen "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20 for Dark Horse Comics and his pal, Buffyverse creator Joss Whedon.
The issue is in stores this week, so CBR News caught up with the fan-favorite to talk Buffy, the Sam Loeb Charity Fund, the proposed Buffy animated series, and for an early Christmas present, to receive confirmation of the "New Ultimates" coming in 2009 from Loeb and artist Frank Cho!
CBR: We talked about this when "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20 was solicited a few months back, but now that the book is finished and on sale this week, why don't you tell us again what is it you love about Buffy?
Jeph Loeb: Everything that Joss gave her. Her humor. The wryness. The insanity in an insane world. And I'm not sure if you're talking about the entire thing or the Slayer herself, but it all applies. Great characters. It's clever. And I don't use the word "clever" very often.
|Pages from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20
What can you tell us about your story in this one-off issue?
It's "Pleasantville" without the black and white or "the Witherspoon," as Buffy says inside. She has the worst day ever and hasn't slept in something like a week and falls asleep only to wake up back in Year One. Only that looks much like what the animated series was going to look like. Mom's alive. Dawn's a little kid. And that's just the beginning. It was an age of innocence compared to what she's doing now in "Season Eight."
The best is that we got Eric Wight, and his talented animation team of Ethan Beavers and Adam Van Wyk, to do the "Year One" part. Eric did all the designs for the series. Meanwhile, Georges Jeanty, who also provides one of the stunning covers, does the framing sequence brilliantly. Jo Chen does the other one which is kind of a riff on Norman Rockwell – gorgeous. And Lee Loughridge colored the book which has two distinct looks and did an amazing job.
And your daughter's a big Buffy fan too, right?
Huge fan. She came into it when the show was off the air, but that's the power of DVD.
And here's as good a time as any for an unabashed plug, if you're not reading "Hulk," the one that has the red Hulk in it, and we know who you are, try it out if no other reason than Audrey writes one-page Mini-Hulk stories that are funny as hell in each issue. They're penciled, inked and colored by Chris Giarrusso. He just nails it.
Is the fact both you and your daughter Audrey love her make Buffy even more special?
Sure. Anytime you share something with your child it takes on a new shine.
A portion of the sales of "Buffy" #20 will go to the Sam Loeb Charity Fund, named for your late son. Was he a fan of Buffy too?
Yes, but he was more of an Angel fan. He was way into "Angel." We'd watch both of them together. Like I said, Audrey came into it later.
Were Sam and Joss Whedon close?
I think Joss was astonished that this 15-year-old kid could argue politics, admire theater and musicals and could always find the funny. He didn't worship Joss, the way many of us do – Emperor's new clothes and all that. And the Emperor liked him.
|Pages from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20
Can you give us an update on Sam's charity in terms monies raised and scholarships funded? Are there new events or funds planned?
Well, the first is the Sam Loeb College Scholarship Fund (SLCSF). With a good portion of the help from everyone who participated in DC's "Superman/Batman" #26 — and I can't thank everyone enough — and Marvel's "Onslaught Reborn," it took us way over the top, more than we ever expected. We raised more than $200,000.
We give out two scholarships of $10,000 a year to senior students in the Magnet Program at North Hollywood High, who are on their way to college. It's a good way to keep Sam's spirit alive. Because we felt like that charity had been so well funded, we set our sights on a new charity. It's something Sam was intimately involved with – summer theater. I know that a lot of Buffy fans are also fans of theater and this seemed like a natural pairing.
The Teenage Drama Workshop, or TADW as it's called, invites students from everywhere onto the college campus of Cal State Northridge to participate in three different theatrical productions each summer. It's the oldest such program in the country. The idea of the TADW Sam Loeb Scholarship Fund is to provide scholarships for these kids. $900 pays for a student's tuition for the summer. We don't expect anyone to buy a full tuition, but every little bit helps. We invite everyone to make a donation, no matter how large or small.
Here's the info: Make the check out to: CSUN Foundation – TADW Sam Loeb Scholarship Fund. And sent it to:
Doug Kaback
Executive Director
Teenage Drama Workshop,
Cal State Northridge,
Department of Theater,
18111 Nordhoff Street
Northridge, CA 91330
Your donation is tax deductible. The Tax I.D. is 95-6196006.
There's a nifty ad that explains it all inside "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20 that was donated by my pals over at Comicraft, designed by J.G. Roshell and Richard Starkings. They also do all the astonishing lettering on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight."
|Pages from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20
How involved is Joss Whedon in this new charity?
He's not directly involved. Nor do I want to imply that he is. But what Joss and Sam shared was/is their love of theater. It just seemed like a good match for some proceeds from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20 going to this one. Joss supported what I wanted to do with this single issue and that was of enormous help. Buffy fans are a legion, so I hope they'll help us out.
I have to also give a shout out to Scott Allie and everyone at Dark Horse who cut through an enormous heap of red tape to make this happen.
Between Rulk and "Ultimatum," 2009 is going to be a big one for you. What else do you have cooking? Will we see your Spider-Man project with J. Scott Campbell next year?
I love that people call it "Rulk." That was never mine. I saw it in a review and it made me smile. It's so much better than "Clor." Anyway, nobody calls him that, I made a nickname SHIELD just gave him and what do they know about anything? So I'll be doing more "Hulk" – Red and Green!
When "Ultimatum" is over there'll be… something left of the Ultimate Universe. With the help of the original architects Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar, we're paving our way to a new blast of Ultimate books.
All I can tell you about is "New Ultimates" with Frank Cho. It's stunningly gorgeous. Frank and I had a blast working on "Hulk" #7-9, along with the handsome Arthur Adams, so we wanted to keep the fun going.
After that, it's all a big secret. But there's some verrrrrry cool stuff.
And what about TV land? "Smallville," "Lost," "Heroes" — you have been at the forefront of genre television for nearly a decade. Do you know your next TV project yet?
I do. And I can't say yet. Stay tuned as they say.
Thanks for this, Jeph. Our very best to you and your family at the holiday season.
Thanks to you. And mostly thanks to everyone who read this far down.
And if you are sitting across from your studiomate Geoff Johns right now, please tell him we said hello.
And a big "Happy Holidays" back from everyone at the Empath Magic Treehouse with Geoff Johns, Allan Heinberg and now we have "Supergirl" writer, Superstar of Tomorrow, Sterling Gates in our tree too.
"Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season Eight" #20 is on sale this week from Dark Horse.

After much worry that Fritz would never go to the bathroom outside, we are down to having very few accidents. We are basically restricting Fritz's movement throughout the house and watching him closely for signs that he might need to go. We are also keeping him in his crate at night. The big problem with this is that it depends on us noticing when Fritz needs to use the bathroom, rather than on him telling us that he needs to go. So, I am thinking that we will try to teach him to use a bell to let us know. Not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try.
I would also like to start clicker training this weekend when I have some more time to devote to getting started. I'm thinking of starting with the basics, like come and sit. And of course we would be using the clicker to teach him about the bell also. One issue with the clicker thing is the treating. I can't find any ready made treats that I think are small enough to be clicker training Fritz with. Also, he does not get super excited about regular treats, so I don't know if he woudl eat them up fast enough to really get the instant association between the click, his behavior, and the treat. I'm thinking I'll pick up some hot dogs, because I can cut them up as small as I want.
That's the plan anyway.
well, we picked Fritz up from the airport yesturday. He is adorable and everything I had hoped for. Andy even likes him, and he was completely against getting a dog. But as soon as he saw Fritz's cute little monkey face, he was sold.
We let him out for a little walk and bathroom break at the first rest stop we came to. He stood there shaking for at least 3 minutes. He never did go to the bathroom, even though he'd been on a plane fir six hours and his crate looked clean. He was also pretty perturbed by the leash, but we didn't want him just running loose.
Finally got him home around 9:30 p.m., after a quick stop by my parents'. He had still not gone to the bathroom, although we walked him around outside several times. He explored the new house. We showed him to his little doggie bed, but he decided to stake claim to our large leather recliner instead.
For some reason, I decided not to crate him at night. Needless to say, I woke up to find he'd done a number one and two on the floor. Cleaned it up and tried to take him outside, but he still did not go to the bathroom. Fed him some breakfast, took him outside, still no potty.
So, seems like potty and leash are our first training priorities.
First, the count down to Fritz's adoption day is fast approaching. He will be here next Friday...or he'll be at the airport anyway, where we will pick him up.
So, I just received the AKC registration information from his breeder, and Fritz is now officially a fancy pants dog with a fancy pants name: Rosie's Belgian Fritz N Chips. I hope it doesn't go to his head.

Frontiers of Flight Museum
While most air-and-space museums house aircraft retired after extensive service, the centerpiece of the collection at the Frontiers of Flight Museum has a flight record that's hard to match: 163 consecutive orbits around Earth. Between October 11 and 22, 1968, the Apollo 7 command module rocketed around the globe at 17,280 miles per hour, chalking up a healthy number of orbits before splashing into the Atlantic and, eventually, coming to its current residence on the museum floor. Displayed with its hatch open for visitors to peep inside at its instrument-covered panels, the module sits alongside thousands of artifacts from the various golden ages of aeronautic exploration, including salvage from the infamous Hindenburg airship and more than 30 vintage aircraft. The family-friendly museum welcomes younger visitors with the Children's Discovery Area and a "living history" series featuring aviation icons such as Amelia Earhart and Orville Wright.

Tile and laminate, or get rid of tile?
Hello --
My husband and I are getting ready to close on our first house. Currently, there is tile (pretty recent, I believe) in the living room and dining room, linoleum in the kitchen, a different kind of tile in the hallway and first bathroom, a different kind of linoleum in the bedrooms, and ANOTHER kind of tile in the master bathroom. We are considering putting down wood laminate floors in the house, but do you think it would be weird to have tile in the living room and dining room and laminate everywhere else? Seems like it wouldn't flow very well... Here's a rough sketch of the floor plan:
In your opinion, would it be better to get rid of the tile in the living room and dining room and just put the laminate throughout the entire house? (It's a little over 1600 square feet, by the way.) Is it very difficult to bust preexisting tile? You can kind of see the living room tile in this picture:
So... What would you do?
BTW, we can get laminate flooring at Sam's Club for approximately $1.60 a square foot, and if it's as easy to install as everyone says it is, then it seems that it would be cheaper to do that than to replace the tile throughout the rest of the house with tile to match the living room, or with carpet...
LAMINATE?, AARRRRRRRRHHHHHHH.:eek:
Throughout the whole house?, AARRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHH.:eek:
Nothing wrong with laminate throughout the whole home.
Although I would definately shy away from the cheapest stuff on the market.
Your existing tile looks great, and so if you float lam over it, you can tearout the lam anytime and be back to great looking tile. Which is what you may do if you buy the cheap stuff.
Tile is valuable, so I would try to keep it in good shape if you can.
I would not piece meal the flooring. Keep it the same throughout and open the place up. Use area rugs to determine room style and size.
R&D is a tile guy, so he would hate to hear you tear into nice tile like that and I would agree.
But laminate is a great option for a home if a customer does not have the funds for real wood, or reinstall of different tile.
Hmmm... Perhaps we should just leave the living room and dining room as is and lay matching tile in the kitchen, hallway, and bathrooms, and put carpet in the bedrooms. How does that sound?
;)much better;)
Thanks for the advice, guys. I think that's what we'll do. :D
Even though it seems as if you've made up your mind (good decisions, by the way), it really isn't a good idea to put laminate in a kitchen or bathroom, especially if your using laminate at the lower end of the price scale. Even though laminate claims it is damage proof, it has to be installed 100% correctly. Tile is much more hardy and longer lasting. My personal preference would be for real hardwood in the LR and DR however, in your case I'd leave the tile as is - it appears to be good tile and it sounds like it was a good install job. Also, it's pretty unique to have tile in the LR & DR - not many homes have it.
Just my $0.02 worth...
If it was my new house the first thing i would do is ask the guys what i could buy to get the soot of the fireplace
Ps. You might want to make sure that chimmey is venting properly or somebody forgot to open the vent when making a fire. I have never seen soot that bad on the front of a fireplace.
Yeah, the inspector said it was REALLY dirty inside. We will be hiring a chimney sweep first thing. I can't believe they have used it so much here in south TX...
Even though I'm not a flooring expert I've seen enough of the cheap laminate installed to side with the guys above at staying far far away from it!!! this stuff is not durable in any regard and once you scratch the surface there is no easy fix, I tend to think of the cheap laminates like the components of cheap entertainment centers, veneered mdf:(

According to available data, Global Entertainment Industry is expected to top $2 Trillion in 2016. This whopping number is in largely contributed by the emergence of the internet. Thanks to online content, we can watch whatever we want, whenever we want, and on whichever device we want. Yet, nothing matches the pure bliss of watching those eye blinding, explosion ridden, blockbuster action films, or experiencing the nail biting moments of your favorite sports on the big screen. However much we may love our portable devices, the big screen home theater always has a special place in our hearts. Be it the comfort of the couch, or the direct access to popcorn in the kitchen, watching shows on TV is a pleasure. That's why we bring to you the best streaming players to take your TV viewing experience to another level. You can find the newest and best television and video streaming service provider right here.
Roku 3 ($95.94)
Roku is presently in its third installment of absolute dominion over the streaming players industry. This completely unassuming player sports more than 2,000 channels – something that its competitors do not even come near to. Its services include Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Google Play Movies and TV, Amazon Video, Hasbro Studios, and many others. The box comes with a remote control that can even be used as a motion control device. For private television experience, the remote control has its own headphone jack. Perhaps the most pleasant experience of owning the Roku 3 is navigating through its beautiful and intuitive cross platform interface. It also comes with a powerful search feature that finds you the exact content you are looking for. Moreover, unlike other devices, Roku 3 does not need a USB for storage. Instead, it comes with a microSD card slot for extra space for apps and games. The device can be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, or through Ethernet. No doubt, Roku 3 is the best streaming player in the market, and at this price, it is a steal.
Roku Streaming Stick ($46.99)
What's better than Roku 3? Well, nothing actually, but if anything can beat a Roku, then it has got to be Roku itself. The Roku's Streaming Stick is the best in the market, and comes with all the great functionalities of Roku 3. Do not be mistaken by its size. This benign looking stick is as much of a monster as its big brother. It is loaded with more than 2,000 channels, and streams them in all their high definition awesomeness. Roku Streaming Stick does away with the bulky size of Roku 3, and fits snugly into any HDMI equipped TV. It comes with a remote control, but does not sport the headphone jack or the motion control system in Roku 3. However, we are certainly not complaining since it comes at half the price. You can also control your entertainment using iOS and Android apps. Like we said, the streaming stick is as awesome as its bigger counterpart, and significantly less expensive.
Chromecast ($27.97)
Now that you have met the industry's best, let us take a look at those that offer the most value per buck. Google's Chromecast comes nowhere near Roku's content, and certainly isn't as robust. But, one thing that separates Chromecast from the rest is its simplicity. You can use the device from apps that are already
on your device, or which you can download. It doesn't come with an interface, and the content navigation and selection are done on the smartphone, tablet, or the PC. Once you have selected, the content for streaming, the dongle streams it from the cloud without using your device any longer. One of the most useful features of Chromecast is that it allows you to stream the content directly from your Google Chrome. Apart from this, it supports thousands of third party apps, which are capable of streaming content to it. Even with all these features, it costs only $27.97, which makes it the best value for money streamer on the market.
Nexus Player ($69.99)
Nexus player is Google's second offering in the streamer category. Nexus Player is a set-top box, manufactured by Asus for Google. It has a variety of apps, including Netflix, Hulu Plus, and others. Google brings two of its most powerful features to the Nexus Player. One, it has the voice-activated search feature, which can be accessed through remote control to browse through the content. Second, it features Google Cast – the control of media playback on TV from other devices, just as in Chromecast. The only downside of this streamer is the glaring absence of the Ethernet port. Although you can stream content using Wi-Fi, the absence of Ethernet port is something that might push away fans of its fans. Nevertheless, the Nexus range of devices is known for their great features, and low cost design models, and the Nexus Player continues its tradition by selling it at an affordable price of $69.99. An interesting addition is the integrated gaming feature, which offers a great experience for those of you who pick the optional gaming controller.
Amazon Fire TV ($99)
Amazon Fire TV is one of the slickest and the best performing streamers out there, albeit at an above- average price of $99. The device is loaded with thousands of hours of free movies and shows. Apart from the free services, the device has hundreds of thousands of TV show episodes and movies for streaming. It features everything from Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, and so much more. It even has dedicated gaming support, which means you can buy an optional gaming controller for an extra $40. Also, it comes with a voice recognition system, which makes the content search a breeze. This device has been a great hit among Amazon Prime users, and the reasons are aplenty. You might notice an irritating aspect of the device – the first party apps are always in plain view, while you have to navigate to apps section to use third party apps. The interface is not great, but it has a powerful hardware and offers excellent HD experience. Currently, the device is not being sold by Amazon on its website, and we expect the next version of the device to hit the market soon. Anyway, given the price range at which the current version of Fire TV is being sold, we certainly think Roku 3 is a better bang for the buck.
Apple TV (Next Generation – $149)
Since its release in 2007, Apple TV has been one of Apple most neglected products. While few of its competitors may have overtaken it, it still remains one of the better offerings in the market. However, a fourth generation version of the Apple TV has recently been announced, which we think will have hardcore Apple fans swooning all over it. And rightly so. The new Apple TV's controller comes with motion control feature for playing games. It even has a touchscreen above a traditional keypad, for better menu navigation. What's more, you even get a single-button click access to Siri. This time, Apple has opened up its hardware for third party developers. So you can expect better and improved ways of interacting with the streamed content. Apple TV is already one of the t content streamers out there in the market, and it seeks to outperform itself by offering movies and TV shows of its own. However, the company is not ready with it yet, and it will be some time before that happens. As for the newly arriving Apple TV in October this year, the 32GB internal storage version costs $149, while its 64GB sibling costs $199. We will not discuss whether it is worth its value, as Apple fans will buy it regardless. So why bother. Moreover, they could be right too. Let's wait and see.

Head Office Redesign
We were approached by Royal Doulton to help them design their new head office following their acquisition by Wedgwood. We developed a materials palette to reflect the brand palette that had white at its core.
We encouraged the team to display fascinating objects from its archive to illustrate the company's innovative approach to product development. We chose to create a unique three dimensional wall tile based on a Minton floor tile that was manufactured in the Doulton factory. We created a reception, work and showroom spaces.

With the emergence of different clothing lines, different clothes at different sizes are now made available to the consumer. Apparels are now designs not just for sexy women but also to plus size women who want to looks good at their sizes. Since they are now recognized by the dress designers, there are more available trendy designs of plus size dresses that are affordable in price. Plus size outfit like party dresses come into variety of designs and colors that are appealing to plus size women.
When buying plus size party dresses, you better consider the following tips. This will surely gives you new ideas when you are dealing with your plus size outfit.
Choose the best quality. If you think you can save a lot from buying cheap party dresses, better think again, because there are party dresses that are cheap but when it comes to quality you expect less. Nowadays, there are quality party dresses at affordable price if you will just ask and have patience to look around.
Branded versus generic. When we say branded, we say quality. But then, you should keep in mind that sometimes its not about the brand. There are generic plus size clothing that is in good quality though they are not branded. If you really want to save, better look at those generic brands but make sure you check every part s as possible.
Quality and affordability. When we say quality, you may think expensive. On the other hand, when we say affordable, you might say expensive. However, quality items does not always mean expensive. We should think that there are lots of affordable party dresses because of the high in demands on plus size outfit.
Trends and Designs. As said earlier, plus size woman also look at quality dresses for their size. As of now, if we look at fashion magazines you surely come to know that plus sizes are now as demanding as those with the regular size. But, there are sales items serve as introductory price for this size of dresses. So when you buy, you should look at the introductory items and you will probably get the best dress you want to have.
Plus size women shouldnt be shy when attending parties because there are now dresses only designed for them. Party dress for plus size women are in the line of competition so you should not set aside buying this size of clothes.

HK subwoofer wiring
Hi all,
I just bought a used complete HK set to replace the standard "hi-fi" on my car (all speakers and the amplifier replacement). I've replaced all the speakers except the rear deck. So far the amp swap is fine, and all the speakers work fine. Aside from needing some mounts to put the HK subwoofers in to replace the regular 6.5 (or 6.25?) mid basses, i noticed that the HK subs have a pre-amp on it, with a 10 pin plug and a 2 pin plug.
I've searched and searched and I cannot seem to find a wire or plug for this. I can get one on eBay, but there's only one right now for $50
I could just wire it myself I suppose, but I don't even know where they are supposed to go!
I can't find a part number from realoem either. Does anyone know where I can get this plug? I am guessing that those wires go straight to the plug that fits into the amplifier and perhaps that is why.

Many things have kept me from baking or cooking anything new for the past week or so. However I managed to get in the kitchen today and made a wonderful quick bread. A friend sent me a cooking magazine back in October and I wanted to make this right away. Well one thing lead to another and I forgot about it. When I received the new Taste of Home magazine I saw the same recipe and wasted no time in making it. I'm so glad I did because this quick bread is a real winner. It fills your home with the most wonderful scent and the taste is so good. It's not over the top sweet,the texture is light and airy and it won rave reviews from the men in the house. If you don't have Chai instant tea latte mix don't let that stop you. I don't have one either but the recipe came with an alternative spice blend you can make. You can make these loaves in several ways. The original recipe calls for you to put it into 3 mini loaves or you have the option of making it into one 9X5 inch loaf. Living in the netherlands I have yet to find that such size. Instead I used a 10 inch loaf pan and it worked beautifully. If I were going to share this bread with someone else then I would have used my mini loaf pan.
Chocolate Chai Quick Bread
1 1/2 cups Flour
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 cup water
2 (1ounce) squares bittersweet or semi sweet baking chocolate
1 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Butter;softened
2 Eggs
1 tspn. Vanilla
1/2 cup Sour Cream
3 TBLSPNS instant Chai tea latte mix(spice blend listed below)
1 tspn. Baking Soda
1/2 tspn. Salt
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 TBLSPN Butter;softened
3 TBLSPN instant Chai tea latte mix
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
4-5 tspn. Milk
** Chai Spice Blend**
2 tspn. Ground Cinnamom
1 tspn. Ground Ginger
1/4 tspn. Ground Cloves.
Mix together and use 2 1/4 tspn. in bread mix and 1 tspn in glaze.
Heat oven to 350 degrees or 180 celcius. Grease bottom only of 3 (5 3/4 X 3 inch) mini loaf pans OR 1 9X5inch loaf pan OR 1 10inch loaf pan. Combine water and baking chocolate in pan and cook over low heat until melted;stirring often. Remove from heat;cool to room temperature. Combine brown sugar,butter,eggs and vanilla in large bowl. Beat on medium speed until creamy.Add chocolate mixture and sour cream. Continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low and add all remaining bread ingredients. Beat until mixture is smooth. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 30-40mins or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 10minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely. ** If using glass or dark pans,reduce heat by 25 degrees and check for donesness at minimum bake time. If using a 9X5 loaf pan bake for 45-50 mins. If using 10 inch loaf pan bake for 45 mins.
Combine all glaze ingredients and 2 teaspoons milk. Beat at medium speed and add remaining milk to your desired spreading consistency. Glaze cooled bread.

How to Propagate Herbs
Herbs are often the first plants new gardeners start with because they are easy to grow. In addition to being easy to take care of, herbs add beauty to your space and spice up your food. Now that you have a few established plants, perhaps you are thinking of expanding your herb garden.
No need to head to the garden center and drop a bunch of money on new herb plants; herbs are easy to propagate.
What is Propagation?
Propagation is creating new plants from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, bulbs, and other plant parts. There are three main methods of herb propagation: seeds, cuttings, and division. Most plants can be started by all three methods. For herbs, the quickest way to get more plants is from stem cuttings.
When to Propagate
The best time to take a cutting from your plant is during its active growth season; typically between spring and fall. Take cuttings of herbs that are not actively flowering.
If there are a few flowers on the stem, you'll need to remove them.
Where and How to Cut
On any given stem, there will be a "softwood" section and a "hardwood" section. The softwood will be lighter in color and have a flexible stem. This is the new growth. New growth will root out more easily than old growth.
Try to take your cuttings in the morning; this will put less stress on the herbs. Disinfect your cutting tools with rubbing alcohol before and after each cut to prevent the spread of disease. Make the cut under a node (where the leaves join the stem). Take a 4-6 inch cutting. Pinch off the leaves on the bottom 2 inches of your cutting. This is where the new roots will emerge.
Root Out the Cuttings
After you have made the cuttings, you can root them out in a glass of water or plant them in a growing medium. For both methods, you will need to cover the cuttings with plastic to help them retain moisture.
In a Glass of Water:
Place the cuttings in a glass and fill with enough water to cover the stems. No leaves should be in the water. Cover the jar of cuttings with a plastic zip bag and set it in a bright area. You should have enough roots on the cuttings in about 3-4 weeks. At this point, you can pot them up.
In Growing Medium:
You can also plant your cuttings directly in pots with growing medium. Use a soilless growing medium (the same kind you use for seed starting) for the cuttings. To speed up the rooting process, you can dip the stems in rooting hormone before you pot them up. Once potted, water the cuttings and cover with a plastic zip bag. The cuttings will root in 3-4 weeks.
After Care
The cuttings need to remain moist but not too wet. Every couple of days, remove the plastic cover and turn it inside out to remove the condensation. Water only if the soil is dry or the water in the glass jar is below the stems. Keep the new cuttings away from heat and direct sunlight. The plastic acts as a mini-greenhouse for the herbs; you do not want them to get too warm or they'll cook. Once the herbs have rooted, you can transfer them to your garden or to a bigger pot.

Disappearing Rio Grande
Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - 9:44am
Texas Tribune
The Rio Grande is disappearing. Demand for water is growing as average temperatures rise faster than they ever have in the past 11,000 years. The water that remains is being fought over by the countries and states that agreed to share the river. At the same time, a border fence is being built along its banks.

Holy Fire: A Novel
Bantam Books, 1997 - Fiction - 358 pages
The 21st century is coming to a close, and the medical industrial complex dominates the world economy. It is a world of synthetic memory drugs, benevolent government surveillance, underground anarchists, and talking canine companions. Power is in the hands of conservative senior citizens who have watched their health and capital investments with equal care, gaining access to the latest advancements in life-extension technology. Meanwhile, the young live on the fringes of society, ekeing out a meagre survival on free, government-issued rations and a black market in stolen technological gadgetry from an earlier, less sophisticated age.
Mia Ziemann is a 94-year-old medical economist who enjoys all the benefits of her position. But a deathbed visit with a long-ago ex-lover and a chance meeting with a young bohemian dress-designer brings Mia to an awful revelation. She has lived her life with such caution that it has been totally bereft of
pleasure and adventure. She has one chance to do it all over. But first she must submit herself to a radical--and painful--experimental procedure which
promises to make her young again. The procedure is not without risk and her second chance at life will not come without a price. But first she will have to
escape her team of medical keepers.
Hitching a ride on a plane to Europe, Mia sets out on a wild intercontinental quest in search of spiritual gratification, erotic revelation, and the thing she missed most of all: the holy fire of the creative experience. She joins a group of outlaw anarchists whose leader may be the man of her dreams...or her undoing.ĀĀWorst of all, Mia will have to undergo one last radical procedure that could cost her a second life.
In Holy Fire, Bruce Sterling once again creates a unique and provocative future that deals with such timeless topics of the human condition as love,
memory, science, politics, and the meaning of death. Poginant, lyrical, humorous, and often shocking, Holy Fire offers a hard unsparing look into a world that could become our own.

Amusement park rides are described as any mechanical device which carries or conveys passengers along, around or over a fixed or restricted route within a defined area for the purpose of giving its passengers amusement. Amusement parks such as Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, etc., are a favorite form of entertainment for families and young people in California. Millions of people from all over the world come to California specifically to visit our amusement parks and ride our roller coasters.
Unfortunately, serious injuries and deaths have been steadily increasing since 1998. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that emergency room injuries from amusement park rides rose almost 87 percent in the last five years. In 1998 there were 9,200 amusement park related injuries nationwide that required emergency room visits with an estimated 2,100 of these injuries occurring on mobile amusement rides and 4,500 injuries involved fixed rides. Children between the ages of 10 and 14 were most at risk, and women were one and a half times more likely to be injured.
Compensating You
If you or a loved one has been injured on an amusement park ride, you may be able to file a claim for negligence against the park owners, ride manufacturers and ride operators. Contact an experienced Orange County personal injury lawyer immediately to learn about your options.

The creation of human life begins with a single cell that divides into two. But how does DNA tell each subsequent cell to become a blood cell, bone cell, tissue cell or some other specialized type? And why does this process sometimes malfunction, leading to birth defects, cancers and other diseases?
Thanks in large part to the pioneering work of Stanford University's Roger D. Kornberg, scientists now are beginning to understand the process of copying DNA into RNA, called transcription. This knowledge ultimately will allow scientists to more effectively apply the results of the human genome project to better understand disease. Today, The Welch Foundation announced that Dr. Kornberg will receive its 2001 Welch Award, a $300,000 prize given for lifetime achievements in basic chemical research, in recognition of these contributions.

I feel bad....I really do. DD is having a Birthday soon and she only invited a few close friends. She went to a Birthday party last week and I feel guilty that she did not invite that child -- even though she invited that child to her party last year. I lied and told the Mom of that child that we weren't doing a party this year for dd. I know, bad. Very bad. I couldn't muster the strength to be honest for fear of making a mess. But, it could still be a mess if they found out.
Am I feeling this guilt because I would do things differently than my dd by inviting other kids that have invited her to their parties? She is turning 9....and her opinions do count...
It's HER birthday, so it should be HER invites. But, she also needs to think of the others.
As far as her attending other kids' birthdays, ask her if she would want them at her birthday. If she says "No" ask her why she wants to attend their party, when she doesn't want them at her party. If she isn't willing to reciprocate, she should not attend.
If she says yes, invite them.
I disagree about lying to the other parents. And, I would tell your daughter about the lying and why you did it. She needs to understand her actions and choices affect other people.

When some of my kids were younger they would have been happy to invite every kid they knew. I don't really like havign an enourmous party. I think it is okay to attend a birthday party (one were the entire class is invited, for example), and not invite that child to one's own party (where it is just 1 or two kids). As an adult, I have gone to parties where I don't reciprocate. A holiday open house, for example, versus a small dinner party I am hosting.
Yes, I have trouble grappling with the reciprocity thing as an adult. For example, am I obliged as part of my neighborhood to host a bbq if other neighbors have? Actually, that would take me out of my comfort zone.
I forgot to mention that dd wanted to just have her girlfriends at this party -- and the child we didn't invite is a boy. He actually likes her and she doesn't feel the same way. It has been an interesting situation to say the least. I think his parents are very nice as I have gotten to know them better but they aren't people I would have sought out on my own. So, I do my best to incorporate them into my life in a way that I am comfortable with.
I could use a manual on kid/parent etiquette, I guess....if there was one.
I agree about not lying to the parents, because it's very possible for them to find out that it is a lie. All it takes is one of the people invited to tell that boy, or for their parents to mention it to his parents, and you've just created a far worse situation than if you've been honest in the first place. Honestly tell them that either she only wanted girls at her party or that she wanted to keep it small so was only inviting her closest friends, whichever you think is more honest. It's not uncommon for kids that age to do gender-specific parties, especially if they want to have a sleepover party.
Some kids like having large parties where they invite all the class and everyone they know. Other kids prefer having small parties with only close friends. I think both are valid. Childhood politics is terribly complicated, just as complicated as adult politics but without the benefit of experience. Refusing an invitation will hurt someone's feelings. Not inviting someone may hurt their feelings.
I think it's the parents' job to help their children handle this. They should explain that inviting a person to your party does not obligate them to invite you to theirs and that just because you aren't invited doesn't mean they dislike you. They should be inviting people because they want them at the party, not because they want to go to their party. The problem is, not all parents will help their children handle this properly and will take it as a personal insult against their child.
I remember a few times that I gave a friend a birthday gift even though I wasn't invited to a birthday party (if they had one). I didn't only invite people who invited me to their party, and I didn't expect the people who went to my parties would invite me to theirs. There were a few people that I considered close friends that I never was invited to their birthday parties, I don't know whether they had them or not and I honestly didn't care. I still don't. I find it crass to expect someone to invite you to a party/gathering just because you invited them to one. Is it nice to reciprocate? Yes. But if reciprocating makes you unhappy or uncomfortable or is outside your budget, then that's valid.

this is just a moment in time, step aside and let it happen
Since your daughter doesn't want to have the relationship with this boy in the same way that he does, then it would be very bad, I think, to view the situation in terms of guilt or obligation for refusing to match or acquiesce to someone's interest in her. That's dangerous ground. It's very healthy for her to know and act upon her wishes in this case. This may be an opportunity to learn from your child (precious lessons, I've found).
It has been my experience that sometimes invitations and gift-giving is manipulative. On the other hand, people with codependent personality will tend to assume a compliant posture which will create or enforce unequal power sharing in any relationship and often puts themselves at risk (or at the least prevents healthy relations). You may want to look into codependency and try to adjust your perspective of your relations with others since you seem strongly motivated to please others - strong enough to tell a white lie or to feel guilt when you defend personal boundaries.
In terms of your relationship with your neighbors, you can reciprocate by sending a card of thanks after a social event, or dropping off some garden produce with a note of appreciation to your host, or shoveling snow for them once in awhile. The difference between reciprocity/etiquette and codependence is that reciprocity is constructive for *both* parties - in codependence, one person is giving up personal power to the other through real or perceived pressure.
Thank you PumaBearclan -- I absolutely understand what you wrote. A month ago I started therapy to deal with my past. There is a lot I need to learn and work through -- having grown up in an emotionally abusive home. I am the oldest and yes, it was always my duty to please everyone....hence my guilt in this situation and the white lie I told. I definitely plan to rectify this situation at the first chance I get. I guess I was just scared at how my friend would react...but I should have just told her that it was going to be a girls party only because that is what my daughter wanted.
Ugh, on another note, a classmate that hangs out with my daughter (mostly at recess) found out about the party and asked why she wasn't invited. This little girl is one of the neediest kids I have ever met and has no understanding of personal space --always hugging, putting her hands on kids and standing too close. My daughter finds it irritating and just doesn't have enough in common with her to want to have play dates -- even though we tried a few times. There isn't anything that I would have done differently in that case by not inviting her. She just isn't friend material for my daughter.
Good for you Pepin, for working on these issues. So many people are damaged by child abuse and these problems can persist for a lifetime. It's very wise and brave for you to to be honest and motivated to help yourself!
I also had an abusive past myself with similar issues. We are (unfortunately) not alone.
These pre-adolescent years were awful for many of the little girls I knew when my daughter was that age. There is no subtlety at that age and very little self-control. Later on these social problems can escalate to organized bullying and mental health problems, of course. But often the kids grow out of it and develop better self-regulation.
Best wishes!

After what seemed a decade long hibernation Esha Deol finally seems to be all set to make her presence felt in Bollywood. And she doesn't just come back the way she was. Rather it is a completely new Esha that you are going to encounter.
Rumours are looming at large that the actress was not only at rehab for the last few months but has also gone under the knife to enhance her physical appearance. One look at her lips and you will know that these fuller lips were the only things missing when you saw Esha Deol last. Not that she left much of a mark by her acting it seems now she's set her mind on capturing attention by deceptive looks.
Esha however these days is quite excited about her mother Hema Malini's much awaited film 'Tell Me O Kkhuda' and refuses to comment on this matter. All she had to say was, "These days I've become thick-skinned when it comes to gossip." She went ahead claiming boldly that. "I'm not answerable to anybody except my parents. They know I wasn't in rehab or wasn't getting some surgery done when I was up to when I was abroad, so why should I bother about these rumours at all"
While discussing along similar lines when the star daughter was asked why Bollywood is so hesitant in admitting that they went under the knife all she said was that the celebs here will get used to that trend too. And what of her? Esha with a wide grin on her face admitted that she wouldn't mind that when she was old and really needed it. It is a good thing to get rid of a wrinkle here and there she said. She also claims that she'll be very forthcoming towards it. Working in the beauty industry requires good looks and thus there is nothing wrong in going under the knife if it enhances your physical beauty.
Wonder why then Esha was so hesitant in commenting on her own fuller lips. No smoke without fire goes the saying and it seems just apt over here. Let's see for ourselves how soon the actress becomes forthcoming enough to admit having gone under the knife.

i have cobb stage 2 wrx and my friend with an e36 m3 wants to race. I don't really want to go from a dig because I don't want to put that abuse on my car.
I think he has headers and exhaust and intake. His car smokes black at WOT so I'm thinking he has some problems with tuning. I got a ride from him several times, my butt dyno says I can take him but for gears 1-3 i think he'll be able to shift faster (1-2 is really damn long for me)
He's also going to get some heavy rims, so maybe I'll wait. Plus I won't have my WRX back for 2 weeks, my brother is borrowing it.
so, anyone have good experience with e36s?

If tan(x)=8/3 and sin(x)<0, then find cos (x) sec(x) csc(x) i don't understand how u do this problem
Think of the various definitions of these functions in terms of the height, base and hypoteneuse of a right-angled triangle. You're told that tan(x)=8/3, which means that the ratio of the height to the side is 8 to 3. So you can work out the hypoteneuse by Pythagoras. That should enable you to work out the other functions. Don't forget that condition about the sine of x being less than 0 though: there's more than one angle in a 360-degree circle with a tangent of 8/3, and you need to make sure you pick the right one.
If tan x is positive and sin x is negative then yx must be in the third quadrant. For tan x = 8/3, the reference angle to the -x axis must be arcsin 8/sqrt(8^2 + 3^2) = 69.44 degrees. That means the angle x = 249.44 degrees. The cosine of that angle is -0.3512. The secant is the reciprocal of cosine. csc is the reciprocal of the sin, or -(sqrt73)/8

Seriously, You Guys? We decided to do a freezer-aisle dinner tonight (we couldn't decide on one dinner for the whole family, so everyone chose their own).
I ADORE Tom Ka Gai. Light, slightly sweet, and lively (and entirely fish-less), this is a soup I order every time I'm anywhere near a Thai restaurant.
The main components of the soup are chicken, lemongrass and coconut, so when I saw this
I thought that it would be fabulous.
I was sadly mistaken.
Really? It tasted much like I expect lemon dish soap might taste. Blech. I tried to power may way through it, thinking it would grow on me, but alas; I'm left with a mouth that tastes something like this:
Trust me on this one; go for the Hungry Mans.

NRDC Equity snaps up Hudson's Bay Co
By Leah Schnurr
TORONTO (Reuters) - Hudson's Bay Co, the Canadian retailer whose name is synonymous with the country's frontier past, was bought on Wednesday by the U.S.-based private equity fund that owns the Lord & Taylor department store chain, one of the oldest names in American retailing.
NRDC Equity Partners did not place a value on the deal, but said it would invest $500 million in new equity into the combined company, which also owns specialty U.S. retailer Fortunoff and Creative Design Studios.
Founded in 1670, Hudson's Bay Co is deeply entrenched in Canadian history, and is North America's oldest continuously operating company. Its banners include The Bay, Zellers and Home Outfitters, and it has more than 580 stores nationwide.
With Wednesday's deal, the combined companies will make up more than $8 billion in retail sales and employ 75,000 employees, NRDC said in a release.
Richard Baker, NRDC's current chief executive, who will serve as the head of the new holding company called Hudson's Bay Trading Co, said in an interview that the deal will allow for a huge potential in synergies between the companies.
Lord & Taylor could launch 10 to 15 stores in Canada in an effort to bridge the gap between The Bay and the more high-end Holt Renfrew. The stores would be in prime locations, either through existing HBC properties, or within flagship Bay stores.
Lord & Taylor, founded in 1826, is an icon of New York's Fifth Avenue. The department store chain now has 47 locations in the U.S. Northeast.
Baker said the company could take "oversized" Bay locations, such as its 900,000-square-foot store in downtown Toronto, and better utilize the space by putting in a Lord & Taylor or Fortunoff as well. Continued...
