Autumn Nail Art Contest: Fallen Leaves
First I painted my nails with Essence Creamylicious Chocolate Shake.
Then I sponged yellow and red acrylic colors to the base.
After that, I applied Konad pattern from IP M56 with Color Club Where's the Soiree (black). That's it!
Thanks for looking!

Night Falls on Manhattan is a 1997 American crime drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, set and filmed on location in New York City. Its screenplay is by Lumet, based on a novel by Robert Daley entitled Tainted Evidence.
The film centers on a newly elected district attorney played by Andy García, who is eager to stamp out corruption within the New York City Police Department. Ian Holm, James Gandolfini, Lena Olin, Ron Leibman and Richard Dreyfuss star in principal supporting roles.
A joint collective effort to commit to the film's production was made by the studios of Paramount Pictures and Spelling Films. It was commercially distributed by Paramount Pictures theatrically, and by Paramount Home Entertainment for home media. Night Falls on Manhattan explores criminal law, political corruption, and the repercussions of violence.[2] Following its cinematic release, it failed to garner any awards from mainstream organizations for its lead acting or production merits.
Night Falls on Manhattan premiered in U.S. theaters on May 16, 1997 grossing $9,889,670 in domestic ticket receipts. The film saw its widest release in 758 theaters nationwide. Preceding its theatrical run, the film was generally met with mixed to positive critical reviews before its initial screening in cinemas. The Region 1 Code widescreen edition with special features was released on DVD in the United States on November 17, 1998.
Detectives Liam Casey (Ian Holm) and Joey Allegretto (James Gandolfini) are conducting a surveillance operation to apprehend Jordan Washington (Shiek Mahmud-Bey), a notorious drug dealer. On a tip from an informant, they venture into a building where Washington is presumed to be hiding. Washington preemptively fires a submachine gun through his front door, seriously wounding Casey. Backup arrives to swarm the building, but Washington executes a cunning escape in an NYPD squad car after murdering two police officers, while another officer is killed by friendly fire.[2]
In a surprising move after the suspect's lawyer, Sam Vigoda (Richard Dreyfuss), brings him in, district attorney Morganstern (Ron Leibman) appoints Sean Casey (Andy García), a newly graduated assistant district attorney and Liam Casey's son, to prosecute Washington. Passing over the more experienced executive assistant Elihu Harrison (Colm Feore), Morganstern deliberately picks Casey due to Harrison's expected opposition in the upcoming election for District Attorney.
During the trial, Vigoda does not dispute his client's guilt, but postulates that the police were specifically looking to murder Washington. The defendant corroborates this theory by revealing that he had been bribing certain officers, including one called Kurt Kleinhoff, in return for protection while dealing drugs. Vigoda theorizes that when a rival dealer named Carlos Alvarez offered the officers more money, Washington refused to match it, thus becoming a target. Although inexperienced, Casey mounts a strong argument questioning Washington's credibility and his father provides effective testimony. Casey wins the case, as Washington is sentenced to consecutive life terms without parole.[2]
At the celebration after the win, an associate from Vigoda's legal team, Peggy Lindstrom (Lena Olin), begins an affair with Casey. After Morganstern is incapacitated by a heart attack, Casey is persuaded by the mayor to run for DA. He wins the election. Meanwhile, Kleinhoff's decomposed body is discovered floating near a maritime dock. An address book found at the scene contains the names of several cops from precincts who responded to the Washington shooting. After several interrogations, a number of officers confess about their entanglement in the bribery and narcotics scandal.
Allegretto admits he initially lied about his involvement; he accepted bribes while also plotting to murder Washington with the other corrupt officers killing the third dead officer instead. Berated as "scum" by Casey for his conduct and unwilling to face jail, a depressed Allegretto commits suicide. Liam discloses to his son Sean that he and Allegretto were not legally authorized to arrest Washington due to an expired search warrant. Liam concedes that he forged a judge's signature with a new warrant.[2]
Following an admission of guilt by Liam about the forgery in a private consultation with Judge Dominick Impelliteri (Dominic Chianese), the judge decides to fill out a new warrant and purposely obviates the technicality. He also suggests to Sean that he destroy the invalid warrant. The film ends with Casey giving the introductory lecture for a new class of assistant district attorneys, urging them to approach their job with diligence.[2]

Exterior film shooting took place primarily on location in New York City.[4] Filming sets included the Hotel Pennsylvania, the Sherry Netherland Hotel, Bellevue Hospital Center, and the National Arts Club.[4] The opening scene involving the police shootout with Washington, took place in a desolate apartment building in Harlem.[2] Principal photography for the film began on October 11, 1995 and was completed on December 12.[5][6] The screenplay for the film written by director Lumet, was based on the novel Tainted Evidence authored by Robert Daley.[2]
According to Lumet, a secondary inspiration for the plot was the true story surrounding the criminal Larry Davis, who escaped arrest from the scene of a drug raid.[7] In the ensuing chaos, Davis shot six NYPD officers and eluded capture for 17 days. The character of Vigoda played by Richard Dreyfuss was patterned after attorney William Kunstler, who defended Davis.[2] The scene of Washington's escape using an NYPD patrol car was staged for dramatic effect. Davis managed to escape the crime scene, but without the use of an actual police car.[2]
The original motion picture soundtrack for Night Falls on Manhattan was not officially released to the public, but features songs composed by veteran musician Wynton Marsalis. The music for the film was orchestrated by Mark Isham, edited by Annette Kudrak and mixed by Stephen Krause, at Capital Studios.[4] The sound effects in the film were supervised by Ron Bochar. The editing of the sound elements was arranged by Glenfield Payne.[4]
Critical response[edit]
The film received mixed reviews.[8] Rotten Tomatoes reported that 68% of 28 sampled critics gave the film a positive review, with an average score of 6.7 out of 10.[9] At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average out of 100 to critics' reviews, the film received a score of 58 based on 19 reviews.[8] In 1998, actor Andy García was nominated for an ALMA Award, in the category of Outstanding Actor in a Feature Film, for his performance.[10]
|"A closing speech by Casey to a group of novice lawyers tries valiantly to throw a conceptual net over the sprawling mess we've just seen, but there's no getting around it: Night Falls on Manhattan is a wild, corkscrewing swing and miss by Lumet. With two strikes on the board, even his most loyal fans now have to wonder if the sturdy old slugger is finally losing his eye."
|—Russell Smith, writing in The Austin Chronicle[11]
Janet Maslin writing in The New York Times, said director Lumet did "a good job of articulating the disillusioning realities of careerism and crime. And he has an ear, as ever, for the disparate voices of the city." She also casually noted that actor Garcia remained "a polite, neutral presence" through "too many moments, particularly during courtroom scenes that have been edited in awkwardly abrupt ways".[12] Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times referred to the film as "knowledgeable about the city and the people who make accommodations with it. It shows us how boring that obligatory evil kingpin is in so many other crime movies". He explained, it comprises "characters who do wrong and are therefore bad, but it doesn't really have 'villains' in the usual movie sense of the word. It's too smart and grown up for such lazy categories".[13] In the San Francisco Chronicle, Peter Stack wrote that "The film's setup is intense, full of fearsome action, a pulse-pumper. But soon it becomes a thinking man's police drama about the political aftermath of the botched drug-lord case." Left unmoved, he declared that although "Lumet and his fine cast play it out in a moody, hard-boiled style, Night Falls on Manhattan falls flat.[14] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, said the film unfolds "less in the gritty world of New York law enforcement than in the implausible tabloid imagination of Robert Daley, on whose pulp novel the film is based." He did though positively comment that "Night Falls on Manhattan makes you nostalgic for Lumet's truly first-rate corruption movies, like the great, underrated Q&A (1990)."[15] In a slightly negative tone, Barbara Shulgasser of the San Francisco Examiner, thought Lumet's "seriousness and simplicity with which he approaches his subject in Night Falls on Manhattan are refreshing even if the vivacity of the thing never really has a chance to develop."[16] James Berardinelli of ReelViews viewed the film as being "savvy about a number of things." He claimed that "Not only does it have a good feel for both sides of the police corruption issue, but it's aware of the political rivalries and behind-the-scenes dealmaking that keeps a city running." In his overall summation, he wrote "Sidney Lumet has done something that I wasn't sure was possible in this age of instant, formulaic gratification: make a riveting cop movie without a car chase and a courtroom thriller without cheap theatrics."[17] Adding to the positive sentiment, Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times, said the story was "a string of unlikely events and coincidences" which "set off Night Falls, and Lumet makes them believable the old-fashioned way: through interaction with a screen full of strongly drawn, fully dimensioned, psychologically valid characters."[18]
Writing for Time Out, author SGr exclaimed, "Lumet has made 40–odd films, some classic, some lousy. This isn't by any means".[19] He commended how actor "Dreyfuss shines as a radical defence attorney."[19] Not entirely enthusiastic about certain elements of the plot was Andy Klein writing for the Dallas Observer. He flatly wrote, "As satisfying as much of the film is, there are a few missteps, large and small, that may require indulgence on the part of viewers."[20] Describing a lighthearted position on its positive attributes, Mike Clark of USA Today felt "Lumet (who also wrote the script) seems to feed on lousy cop-precinct furniture, political showboating and confrontations between street-savvy adversaries played by synergic actors."[21] On an entirely negative front, Russell Smith of The Austin Chronicle remarked that "Lumet and Daley simply appear to have forgotten everything they once knew about lean, reality-based storytelling—a fact that no amount of bluster, superstar charisma, and stylistic virtuosity can conceal."[11] Smith added, "Expected story developments fail to materialize, and others drop from the blue sky with no apparent rationale. Equally annoying is the film's inability to decide whether it wants to be a conventional melodrama—a view the manically overacting Holm and Ferrer obviously subscribe to—or a dark, nihilistic satire in the vein of other Lumet films such as Network."[11]
|" 'Night Falls on Manhattan' is absorbing precisely because we cannot guess who is telling the truth, or what morality some of the characters possess."
|—Roger Ebert, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times[13]
Eric Brace of The Washington Post, bluntly commented on the film by writing, "Sidney Lumet mining his familiar territory of corrupt cops and courtroom drama, but if you're hoping he's brought something fresh to the topic of justice in the Big Apple, you'll be disappointed."[22] On a hint of commendation though, he felt "There are plenty of well-filmed scenes of New York in all its glorious grime and decay, and Lumet gives evil a nice touch by having all the bad guys".[22] But ultimately he believed "the predictable lesson—that justice isn't cut and dry—clogs the film's gears by the last reel, at least the first half of the movie has some lively story telling."[22] Incidentally, another Washington Post staff writer couldn't fill in an entirely positive review either. Stephen Hunter commented on Lumet's creative direction saying, "You feel the artist's seriousness of purpose, his passion to know and see and get it right. But it all flounders in a tub with the conventions of potboilers—fictionalized history, sudden wacko plot twists, the radical compression of time, the heavy, oafish hand of coincidence, and characters so wispy they could still be notes on an outline".[23] In a slightly more upbeat tone, Leonard Klady of Variety saw Night Falls on Manhattan as being "a strong addition to an oeuvre that includes 'Serpico,' 'Prince of the City' and 'Q&A.' In this story of scandal within the NYPD, the writer-director continues to explore those earlier film's themes of corruption and compromise."[24] He believed "The level of both technical craft and performance is up to the usual high levels associated with the filmmaker."[24] Rating the film with 2 1⁄2 Stars, critic Leonard Maltin sadly wrote that the film "suffers from one major flaw: its central character's naivete. He's constantly shocked by what we in the audience already know—or have guessed." But in positive followup, he pointed out that supporting actor Leibman was "dynamite as the bombastic D.A.."[25]
Box office[edit]
The film premiered in cinemas on May 16, 1997 in wide release throughout the U.S.. During its opening weekend, the film opened in a distant 7th place grossing $2,933,255 in business showing at 758 locations.[1] The film The Fifth Element soundly beat its competition during that weekend opening in first place with $11,410,863.[26] The film's revenue dropped by 28% in its second week of release, earning $2,108,268. For that particular weekend, the film fell to 9th place again screening in 758 theaters but not challenging a top five position. The film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, unseated The Fifth Element to open in first place grossing $90,161,880 in box office revenue.[27] The film went on to top out domestically at $9,889,670 in total ticket sales through a 12-week theatrical run.[28] For 1997 as a whole, the film would cumulatively rank at a box office performance position of 119.[29]
Home media[edit]
Following its cinematic release in theaters, the film was released in VHS video format on May 5, 1998.[30] The Region 1 Code widescreen edition of the film was released on DVD in the United States on November 17, 1998. Special features for the DVD include; the original theatrical trailer, audio commentary with director Sidney Lumet, actors Andy García and Ron Leibman as well as with producers Josh Kramer and Thom Mount. The disc also includes interactive menus with scene selection.[31][32] Currently, there is no scheduled release date set for a future Blu-ray Disc version of the film.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: New Details!
Thanks to the British Board of Film Classification, new details have emerged about the upcoming wizard epic Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Good job, British Board of Film Classification!
In explaining its decision to rate Half-Blood Prince as 12A (meaning that no one under 12 can see the film unless accompanied by an adult), the Board released the following revelatory statement, according to MuggleNet:
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a fantasy adventure film based on the book of the same title, finds Harry and his friends returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their sixth year.
"The film contains moderate threat. The moderate threat occurs in one quite scary sequence in which Harry and Professor Dumbledore are attacked by menacing looking creatures that have emerged from an underground lake. Harry is pulled into the lake and dragged beneath the water. The scene has the potential to upset younger or more sensitive children.
"In another scene Draco Malfoy kicks Harry (below screen) and appears to break his nose; blood can be seen on Harry's face. Tables are turned later on in the film when Harry defeats Malfoy in a wand battle in the school toilets. Malfoy, who is rendered unconscious, has several bloodstains on his white shirt and his blood can be seen to mix with and cloud the water on the flooded floor.
"Malfoy, however, is soon completely healed by a nearby teacher. The film contains mild language including the words 'God', 'bloody', tosser', 'sod', 'hell' and 'git.'"
No way—git out!
Have your say in the comments section: Do you plan on going to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when it hits theaters?

jordontin: @sanmansp Definitely is GT-i9100 will be better in term of hardware spec compare with Gt-i9100G. Cause until now the stock ROM for GT-i9100G still not stable yet. For gamer i would recommend go for GT-i9100 not GT-i9100G. Cause a lot games GT-i9100G can't support. What i know GT-i9100G only available at certain country but GT-i9100 was globally available. In term of software update ( i mean upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich) i think GT-i9100 will get it first.
Jastej Singh: Hi, i just wanted to know that will galaxy s2 gt-i9100G will be getting nice custom roms like the i9100 and same games and apps seen on the gt-i9100 and please tell me which phones gpu is good powervr sgx540 of gt-i9100G or the mali-400mp of gt-i9100 and whose chipset is best for gaming need exonys 4210 found on gt-i9100 or the ti omap 4430 on gt-i9100G and tell me apps for gt-i9100 will be increased? becuase gt-i9100g is in the market so i thought that gt-i9100 will be getting outdated...
SkullDow: Nice unboxing btw...
SkullDow: Over heating in i9100 is due the powerfull exynos chipset..blazing fast...wr as tiomap doesnt..but g version is good at gaming..(:
jordontin: @MrJastej of cause is GT-I9100 better than GT-I9100G. Because GT-I9100 has better CPU and GPU than GT-I9100G of is faster than GT-I9100G. In term of software support such as advance game or apps GT-I9100 better than GT-I9100G. Because apps or games run on GT-I9100, then GT-I9100G may not able to run it or cannot support it. The good thing on GT-I9100G is battery life longer than GT-I9100 because the CPU and GPU slow than GT-I9100 CPU and GPU.
Jastej Singh: Which is better and stable Gt-i9100G or Gt-i9100 please tell me fast i wanna get 1 soon
Amir Hamzah: apa beza non g ngan yg g? mne lgi bgus eh?
Mirul Aan: GT-9100G is downgrade version from GT-9100(non-g) did you know that??
SkullDow: its not exynos..
jordontin: @Mr97colz RM43.00 just for this month promotion November 2011
Mr97colz: @Mr97colz Actually its not 63 is 43.
Mr97colz: @jordontin That must be a Digi plan right? Me too.

LONDON: Previously unseen letters and diaries written by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, will be published this week, revealing her innermost thoughts on intimate private matters and the landmark moments of the 20th century.
A new book, authorised by the Queen to mark her diamond jubilee, will include extracts from her mother's private letters and journals from all 10 decades of her life. A prolific correspondent from childhood until her death in 2002 aged 101, her missives to family and friends span her idyllic childhood at Glamis Castle, her family home in Scotland, through both World Wars and her experiences of marrying into the royal family.
They also include her writings on the abdication crisis of 1936 and the untimely death of her beloved ''Bertie'', King George VI, in 1952, followed by her adjustment to her new role as Queen Mother.
The letters reveal her dilemma over whether to marry the Duke of York. In January 1923, following a three-year courtship, the then Elizabeth Bowes Lyon wrote to one of her closest friends of feeling ''terrified'' at the prospect of marrying into the royal family, having finally accepted the duke's proposal.
They also reveal her subsequent blissful enjoyment of marriage and motherhood, including many letters in which she writes affectionately of her young daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose.
In a letter to Anne Beevers, her midwife and maternity nurse, written in October 1926 when Princess Elizabeth was six months old, she described her first-born daughter as ''sharp as a needle''. Another letter to her mother, Lady Strathmore, written the same month, said: ''She is going to be very wicked, and she is very quick, I think …''
In 1936, following her sudden elevation to Queen Consort after Edward VIII abdicated to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, Queen Elizabeth wrote to her brother-in-law that she and her husband were ''overcome with misery'' at being unexpectedly thrust on to the throne.
The letters also convey her heartbreak at the death of her husband in February 1952, following a battle with lung cancer. In a letter to her mother-in-law, Queen Mary, she wrote of her devastation at losing Bertie, whom she described as ''my whole life''.
Several of the letters featured in Counting One's Blessings: The Selected Letters of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother also reflect her love of a tipple.
One in 1931 to a close friend is signed: ''With kind regards and many hiccoughs. I remain, Yours in thirst, Elizabeth.''
The book, which will be out on Thursday, features material drawn from the royal archives at Windsor Castle, Glamis Castle, and other private collections. It was edited by William Shawcross, Queen Elizabeth's biographer, who commented: ''She had beautiful clear handwriting from the age of 10 to the age of 100.
''From childhood onwards, her words danced on the page, teeming with vitality, ebullience and optimism. Although by today's standards her formal education was limited, her letters showed a relish for language, and sparkled with the sheer joy of living.''

yarns Lucy Neatby Cat's Pajamas
80% merino, 10% cashmere, 10% nylon
Description of yarn by Lucy Neatby:
We have a new luxury yarn blend in stock, which we are calling "Cat's Pajamas!"
It is a succulent blend of Merino, Cashmere and Nylon (80/10/10%) is ideal for decadent socks (a well-spun 3-ply with wool for elasticity and warmth, cashmere for softness and sufficient nylon for durability) and heavenly for almost anything else. One stroke of this yarn and all willpower is gone. In trying to describe this yarn I became lost for words, the simplest way to sum it up is, it is truly the "Cat's Pajamas!"

MINI Congratulates Porsche 911 on its 50th Birthday – Mega Gallery
This year, Porsche is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its 911 model, and to congratulate the German automaker on its momentous feat, MINI has released a photo gallery of a classic MINI with a classic Porsche 911.
At first glance, the two automakers have very little in common. MINI focuses on economical and compact but fun vehicles, while Porsche focuses on building high-performance sports cars. But the major landmark of celebrating its 50th birthday for the 911 is no small task, and out of just sheer respect for how successful the 911 has been, the British automaker has paid homage to the great sports car model.
SEE ALSO: Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition Appropriately Limited to 1,963 Units
Over the years, both automakers have pride themselves in pushing the envelope on vehicle design and neither are fearful at entering different markets. Porsche has been successful with both the Panamera and the Cayenne while MINI has pushed the envelope in compact car offerings with its Paceman and Countryman models. And of course, there's the successful that both automakers have had on and off the track.
Despite carrying very different stories and histories, a classic MINI sharing the road with a classic Porsche 911 in a set of photos is truly worth the time to look over.

Greensburg beer distributor will obey rules, take down signs
A Greensburg beer distributor said he will remove two portable advertising signs, after a city board on Wednesday upheld a zoning officer's decision that found the displays to be in violation of the city's zoning ordinance.
"I didn't go through the right process, obviously ... and I'll take them down tonight," said Frank Mesich of Pittsburgh Street Beverage at 660 E. Pittsburgh St.
Mesich said he put up the two signs out of concern prospective customers might not see his business, which is in an alley and approximately 100 feet off East Pittsburgh Street.
Solicitor Lou DeRose told the zoning board portable signs aren't allowed in the involved area.
"I really must tell the board, you have no choice in the matter ... but to uphold the decision of the zoning officer (city planner Barbara Ciampini)," he added.
But before Mesich's comments and the board's decision, his attorney, John O'Connell, accused city planning officials of "selective enforcement" and being hostile to businesses.
"There are temporary signs all over the city of Greensburg ... that would be in violation of the ordinance," he said.
"It's what you would call selective enforcement ... and it's (his client's signs) not doing harm to anyone," he added.
He cited signs for the Greensburg Rotary on East Pittsburgh Street and Sandra Lynn's School of Dance on North Maple Avenue as two examples of violations because the displays flash.
"What's happening is some of the actions of city employees have discouraged people from doing business here," O'Connell added.
He argued that because of the alleged selective enforcement, the zoning board could overrule Ciampini. DeRose maintained the board couldn't do that.

The exceedingly interesting Monera and Labyrinthuleæ, as also the Catallacta, were indeed discovered only a few years ago.
Still, what are we otherwise to do with the still living Monera?
A long gradation of cellular organization leads from the simplest primitive cells (Monera) to the highest developed protists.
But in the case of the Monera there is no such organization.
These and other writers suppose that the nucleus has been overlooked in the protoplasm of the Monera I have described.
The Crystals show signs of something like taking nourishment, but the real taking of food may be said to commence with the Monera.
The Monera are the lowest and simplest form (at least so far known) of organic life.
This comparison is inapplicable to the lowest organisms, the Monera, which are devoid of such a mechanical structure.
In the same way the primitive metabolism and the slow, simple growth of these Monera would not come within direct observation.
The description of this orange-red globule of plasm (protomyxa aurantiaca) appeared first in my Monograph on the Monera.
The kingdom of single-celled organisms without a cell nucleus (see also prokaryotes). Monera are the most primitive living things and are thought to have been the first to evolve.

Dimmer for LED flashlight
From ScienceZero
A simple PWM dimmer for a single cell lithium-ion LED flashlight
This simple circuit makes it possible to adjust the brightness of a high power LED flashlight without wasting energy in large resistors. A voltage doubler is used to make sure the MOSFET gate is fully turned on even when the battery is dropping in voltage.
None of the component values are very critical.
- C1 should be selected to give a PWM frequency of about 2 kHz
- C2 should be significantly larger than the gate capacitance of the MOSFET
- RV2 must be adjusted so that the MOSFET turns fully on at 2.85 V battery voltage
- The 4093 may be replaced by a 74HC14, other CMOS inverters may work but will be more prone to instabilities.
U1 - 4093 quad NAND CMOS Schmitt trigger Q1 - MOSFET power transistor, for example IRFU020 C1 - PWM timing capacitor C2 - Voltage doubler storage capacitor R1 - Discharges the storage capacitor to make sure the transistor does not get stuck on RV1 - Adjusts the duty cycle RV2 - Adjusts the gate bias for a given transistor D1 - Voltage doubler charge diode D2 - White power LED (must be white or you may need a series resistor) D3 - Discharges the timing capacitor D4 - Charges the timing capacitor

Ironically, both players were involved in a bench-clearing brawl between Mexico and Canada in the WBC last week. Phillippe Aumont, who was also a member of Team Canada, accused Valle of swinging his catcher's mitt at Canadian players during the brawl and made the accusations via Twitter. That particular Tweet has since been deleted.
Tyler Cloyd made three starts for the Phillies after having a breakout minor league season, pitching for both Reading and Lehigh Valley. In his two minor league stops, Cloyd was 15-1, 2.26 in 26 starts.
Also optioned were pitchers Mauricio Robles and B.J. Rosenberg.
Rosenberg, who pitched in 22 games with the Phillies last season, was struggling through a horrible spring. Rosenberg posted a 24.30 ERA in 3 1/3 innings of work this spring.
The Phillies claimed Robles off waivers from the Seattle Mariners over the winter.
None of the players were assigned to any specific minor league level, but it's likely that Cloyd, Gillies, Rosenberg and Robles will be at Lehigh Valley. Valle could also join the IronPigs, but it's likely that Tommy Joseph, who is ahead of Valle on the depth chart, will be at Lehigh Valley, which could limit playing time for both players. If Valle goes to Reading, he could potentially be splitting time there with Cameron Rupp, who is in line from a promotion from Clearwater where he played last season.

Mac OS X users can adjust sound volume from individual applications using a piece of freeware, Rogue Amoeba's Detour. That isn't much of a solution since it only applies to Mac OS X, involves unsupported third-party software, and lets you adjust rather than limit volume.

I'm surprised something like this doesn't already exsist. It seems that every app that makes sound has the ability to control volume built into the UI. Why is the case for the web browser any different from any other software?

I think 4 things would be really great for controlling sounds in Firefox : - Being able to control (adjust and mute) the general volume of the application (The most important point). - Being able to control volume for each tab. This would be great. For example, you could set the default volume for each tab off, and than when you want some sound, you just have to rise up the sound for the specific tab. An icon could be placed beside the address-bar, or inside the tab-bar on each tab for example, and this icon allow you to control the volume like the one in the desktop sys tray. - Being able to set whether the sound of a tab is "global" or just for the tab itself. This would be a good one too. When you go to another tab, you don't see the previous tab anymore. But if there was sound on this tab, you still ear this sound !! Don't you think this is strange ??! Of course if you want some music from a web-radio, this is useful. But why should this be the default behavior (and the only one) ? It would be nice to be able to choose if the sound of the tab must continue or not when you change tab. This feature is just an improvement of the previous one : When you change tab, if the previous tab if not set global, its volume if muted. When you focus on a none-global-sounded tab, than it's unmuted. Simple :). - If you allow to shut down or lower the sound for tabs, than it would be probably necessary to have a way to show visually that a tab is playing sound. Without this, the user may miss some alerts or may be wondering why the sound doesn't work. A way to show the tab is playing sounds can be, for example, an icon appearing on the tab in the tab-bar (if there's already an icon for controlling volume on the tab in the tab-bar, than it could be a simple change of this icon). I'm not used to write in English. If something is not explicit, ask for precisions.
Specifically w.r.t. this bug, I can only reproduce this by turning the iTunes volume control way down and the OS volume control way up. iTunes has a very active audio control, which does not communicate at all with the Windows OS audio controls. If that's the case, this really isn't a firefox bug (we always obey the OS volume). Note that this effect is significantly diminished with the Windows Media player because that media player's volume control seems to also affect the overall OS volume control in some small way (or perhaps that volume control isn't as effective as the iTunes one, I don't know). I'm using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080903034741 Minefield/3.1b1pre As far as making this an RFE for a feature in preferences to control browser sound volume, I'll move this over to Firefox/Preferences and request Wanted 3.1 on it, then the UX folks can determine if this is something we can do for 3.1 or v.next. I think with the landing of audio/video support, the global volume control issue might be something we need to look into in 3.1.

I agree that a volume control feature would be very nice. One particular site I go to from time to time always comes on blaring loudly and I have to drag up the system volume control to turn it down (after my nerves have settled down from the initial shock). It would be exceptionally nice to be able to set volume controls on a site-by-site basis, but I realize this is asking a lot.
Comment 11•

Argh, I can't understand why some websites try to bother people by playing sound: surfing the internet is for me a (almost) pure visual thing (except videos), and having an option to disable audio-playout would be highly desirable...
Comment 13•

Voting for this one. Firefox should have it's own volume control (other that the system's) for sound that comes from the application or from media plugins installed. This has to be implemented in order to be able to, for example, listen to music from another multimedia application while surfing.

In Windows 7, users can simply turn down the volume of Firefox in Volume Mixer. Why implement it into the browser itself if the OS already has support?

Because multiple tabs have very different volumes. Bandcamp does not give a volume control on the page.

Opening in theaters this Friday from director Michel Gondry and Sony Pictures Entertainment is a comic book come to screen in "The Green Hornet."
This film tells the story of Brett Reid (Seth Rogen) living the high life of fun and parties with no responsibilities. That is until his father, James Reid (Tom Wilkinson), is killed and Reid takes over The Daily Sentinel.
Deciding to do something meaningful with his life, the younger Reid looks toward one of his father's employees, Kato (Jay Chou), for ideas. Together they create their crime fighting personas and the name Green Hornet. Kato brings to the table his ability to create amazing weaponry, including their trademark car The Black Beauty.
Reid's secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), discovers their first nemesis in the guise of Los Angeles underworld criminal Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). What the two crime fighters don't know is that Chudnofsky has his sights set on them
Final word: Rogen is an interesting choice to play the role of the dark and somber Brett Reid. As viewers will find out, this leans more to the comedic side of the story, which I'm not sure will work with die-hard Hornet fans.
Chou as Kato is enjoyable to watch. He's smart, he does have wit and his fight scenes are pretty darn good. It is not surprising to see Waltz as bad guy Chudnofsky since his Oscar-winning performance as Hans Landa in "Inglorious Basterds." He seems to do bad so very good.
Diaz is fine in her small role as Lenore. This really isn't a huge stretch for her, but she shares the screen well with Rogen.
Other cast members include David Harbour as Scanlon, Edward James Olmos as Axford, Jamie Harris as Popeye, Chad Coleman as Chili, and Edward Furlong as Tupper.
Tubs of popcorn: I give "The Green Hornet" three tubs of popcorn out of five. I was truly expecting the story to be a tad more serious than it actually was. This plays out more like a comedy, so be prepared for that. The fight scenes are pretty good and the visuals are well done.
This all makes sense since Rogen is one of the script writers for the film along with Evan Goldberg who is responsible for such hits as "Superbad" and "Pineapple Express."

I checked three of mine, one of them being PPPoE. None of them have
this issue either. Glad to see some further confirmation.

The MTU on PPPoE is lower (1492 vs 1500 for Ethernet for non-PPPoE
connections). This is probably complicating this issue (PPPoE should
be avoided if possible, IMO, but frequently that isn't possible)

Non-authoritative answer simply means your local DNS server has cached
the entry for netbsd.org and the TTL on the DNS record has not yet
expired. Waiting for that TTL to expire and re-querying is the only
way to get authoritative answers (on subsequent lookups) from your
local DNS server. This is not a problem, this is normal.

I'm curious of the MTU on the Mac vs the other machines.
The root issue appears to be that he can't get fragmented packets to
be passed. The reason the packets are fragmented is because they are
larger than the MTU of *something*. Either need to allow fragmented
packets, which doesn't seem to be working (or maybe not the problem),
or find the MTU at fault. Easier said than done, but if the Mac
works, then that's a starting point.
On the PPPoE LAN I tried, MTU of everything is set to default and I
had no problems.

Revised HOS Rule Released
WASHINGTON — The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released the revised hour-of-service (HOS) rules today.
The new rule reduces the maximum number of hours a truck driver can work within a week by 12 hours. Under the previous rule, drivers could work up to 82 hours within a seven day period — that's now been limited to 70 hours.
Truck drivers also now cannot drive after working eight hours without first taking a break of at least 30 minutes. Drivers, the FMCSA said, can take the 30-minute break whenever they need to during the eight-hour window.
The daily driving limit of 11 hours has been retained, but the FMCSA said it will continue to examine if there are any risks associated with the 11 hour driving time.
The revised rule also requires that drivers who maximize their weekly work hours to take at least two-nights' rest when their 24-hour body clock demands sleep the most — from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
"This rest requirement is part of the rule's "34-hour restart" provision that allows drivers to restart the clock on their work week by taking at least 34 consecutive hours off-duty," FMCSA stated in a press release. "The final rule allows drivers to use the restart provision only once during a seven-day period."
Commercial truck drivers and companies must comply with the HOS final rule by July 1, 2013. The rule is being sent to the Federal Register today.
Todaystrucking.com will have industry reactions as they develop.
For more on the rule, check out the FMCSA's website here.

When I write this recipe name, all I can think of is Ashley on Chris's season of the Bachelor saying, "I feel like I'm in the, ummmm, the Mesa Verdeeee." While she was shooting zombies. What a great great episode.
I want you to understand something. This dish is so damn delicious. So delicious. And it's stupid easy. Honestly, if you don't feel like making all of it, you could just do the first step of roasting and blending the peppers and eat it as salsa. Because I plan on doing that tonight. Either way, with or without meat, it's damn delicious. Did I tell you that it's delicious yet? Ok, now I'm just overdoing it. Stop being annoying, Juli.
You guys. Chemical peels are so annoying. I got one on Friday and I'm shedding my skin, snake style. I woke up this am to dead skin everywhere. Including in my hair from moving around at night. Not a good look. But I am totes down for looking younger and doing what is needed to get there, all while getting rid of the acne scars that cystic acne left me with. So yes, I'm down with burning off my face. Is that vain? Oh yeah, for sure. But I'm totally down for aging gracefully. And I'm pro-doingwhatever worksforyou to help you age how you prefer to. Whether that's naturally, botoxy, lasery or whatever the hell else you like to do behind closed doors. Do you, baby boo. Time to clean my sheets. So gross. I wish women spoke more about the weird things they did to make them glow. Like shedding their face off.
I'm fully ruining this recipe. Let me regroup.
Are you guys on snapchat? I just got on it last week and I'm kind of obsessed. It's fun recording random crap throughout the day. And getting to share who I really am…which is weird and obsessed with my dog. But something I find really creepy is seeing when people screenshot your post. Like…why'd you screenshot that, bro? The other morning, after my face peeling off, I put on the thickest lotion of all time then took a 5am greasy face selfie with my dog. And someone took a screen shot of it. What are they doing with a screenshot of my grease ball 5am face?! The horror!!! I'll stay on it, but maybe I should only show my makeup face…not my chemical peel one.
- 3 jalapeños, cut in half
- 3 anaheim peppers, cut in half
- 8 tomatillos, husked and cut in half
- 1-2 tablespoons melted ghee
- salt, to taste
- ½ cup lime juice
- ¼ white onion, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2½ pound pork butt or shoulder (I used bone-in)
- 2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt (the amount of salt will depending on the salt amount in the broth)
- 2 cups broth
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut jalapeños, anaheim peppers and tomatillos in half and place cut side down on the baking sheet. Use a brush to brush each pepper with a bit of ghee and then sprinkle with salt. Place in the oven to cook for 20-30 minutes, until charred on the outside. Let cool then run under cold water to help peel off and discard the skin and seeds.
- Place tomatillos, peppers, lime, onion and garlic cloves in a food processor and puree until smooth.
- Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once very hot, sprinkle the outside of the pork butt with a bit of salt then sear both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Put the pork butt in the crock pot then cover with the roasted pepper puree then sprinkle oregano, red pepper flakes, cumin, white pepper, and salt on top. Pour broth in the crockpot around the pork butt.
- Cook for 8 hours on low.
- Once cooked through, either shred the pork in the crockpot or remove the pork and shred with two forks, discarding the excess fat and bone then add pork back to the crockpot and mix to combine.
- Serve with lime wedges and cilantro on top!

Here's the new part!, Sorry for the hold up...In any case, Enjoy!
Also as an added bonus, I found this Naruto character creation thing that let's you make your own shinobi.
So for now I will make character concept's for each team whenever needed or requested.
(These aren't final, as said they are concept's as they are teens, I just wanted to get a little bit of my concept of it out there.)
Haru Uzumaki:
Yuki Ayano:
Hikaru Kasai:
And that is just a little bit of how they look, I couldn't change they're height, so just stick with this for now..
This is just a concept on how they look, Not the final image.
Twas the night before the bell test, Haru layed softly in his bedsheet's thinking about his past and now the present...all Haru could think of was his dad and his future...He wanted to surpass Naruto Uzumaki but he ended up being his student, Today was probably the worst/awesomest day ever for Haru Uzumaki...Haru closes his eye's as his deep thought start's to fade away
-The Next Morning-
Haru get's up does his usual daily routine. As he's dressing, he stares at his headband. For an unknown reason, Haru fills with anger, but as he does he calms himself. Haru takes his headband, put's it on, and goes downstairs.
*Haru holds his ramen cup and goes outside with his gear*
Haru: Mom I'm off.
Haru non-hesitantly waiting for his mom's reply runs off with his ramen cup in his hand, as he runs as a speed of light he see's Hikaru.
Hikaru: Hey Ha-
*Haru run's right passed Hikaru*
Hikaru: *facepalm* *Oh it's this day again.*
as Haru approached the gates of the training field, His ramen cup already finished.
Haru: *So this is the place huh?*
Haru: *Dad this is where...I make you proud*
Little Haru: Daddy please, Don't go!
*Little Haru burst's into tears*
*The man pat's Little Haru's head.
*Little Haru suddenly stops crying*
Little Haru: Huh?
?: Take care of mother....
*Flashback ends*
Naruto: So were all here.
Naruto: Alright, I'll explain the basics of the test
Naruto: See this bell?, You're point is to capture it from me..The key to this test is to use strategy, teamwork, and most of all...friendship.
Naruto: I'm gonna give you all 30 seconds to make a strategy and 30 seconds to hide.
Hikaru: WHAT!? 30 SECONDS TO MAKE A PLAN!?
Naruto: As a shinobi you should now be capable to make plans within 3 or 5 seconds..but since you guys are beginners I'll give you a time extension
Hikaru: Hmph, I was just playing.
Naruto: 30 plus 30 equals 60 so overall you have 60 seconds to do both
Naruto: GO!
*the Group hide's into a bush and some trees*
Hikaru: Alright, here's the plan...Haru were gonna try that.
Haru: !?
Naruto: LET THE BELL TEST COMMENCE!
Hikaru: *whisper: Get to the stations*
Haru/Yuki: Right!
Hikaru: I'll go in first.
*Hikaru makes a shadow clone that does a wave sphere*
Clone Hikaru: Suiton: Namitama! (Wave Sphere)
Naruto: Attacking me head on!?, What did I just tell you!?
Haru: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!
Naruto: !?
*Naruto dodges the attack*
Naruto: *I misunderstood myself again...dammit.*
Hikaru: Heh, all going according to plan.
Haru: NOW YUKI!
Yuki: R-Right!
*Yuki performs hand signs*
Yuki: Doton: Tsuchiken (Earth Blades)
*Blades made of rock form around Yuki's hand*
Yuki: HA!
Naruto: !?
*The attack directly hits*
Naruto: OWAAH!!!
Naruto: *crap, I forgot to throw in some shadow clones...some kind of sensei I am...oh well...*
*Hikaru dashes forward as he grabs one bell*
*Naruto quickly uses a substitution*
Hikaru: Dammit.
Naruto: *hmm, these guys seem advance at there age..I guess theres no holding back*
Naruto: KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!
*Several clones all appear forming spiralling balls in there hand*
Naruto: SCATTER!
As they scatter a Haru shaped clone watches in the shadows
*All the clones scatter around looking for the student's*
Haru: !?
Haru: Is this the famous "Rasengan?"
Haru: Katon: Honootate (Flame Shield)
*A huge red aura shaped as a shield appears as Haru holds it protecting his teammates.*
Haru: DAMMIT!! This jutsu is harder to deal with then I thought!
Yuki: Haru-kun....
*Haru start to get tired until he unleashes a sudden burst of power.*
Haru: OOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Hikaru stays shocked*
Hikaru: *What is this immense power!?*
The shield makes a *clink* and the clones reflect all back at naruto
Haru: NOW HIKARU!
Hikaru snaps out of his short slumber
Hikaru: Alright lets do it!
*Haru performs handsigns*
Haru: Katon: Kaontama (Fire Style: Heat Sphere)
Hikaru: Suiton: Namitama (Water Style: Wave Sphere)
Haru and Hikaru both fall off the tree and hold the sphere's with both of there hands, As they they fall they start to rotate than eventually...Spin super fast
*Both Haru and Hikaru*
Haru/Hikaru: NAMI KAON KOUMBO: NAMI NO KAON!!!!! (Wave Heat Combo: Wave's of Heat)
Massive energy flows around both Haru and Hikaru as they spin, They combine with eachother eventually making a Wave that is made out of heat...As it clashes with Naruto, the clones that were reflected not to long ago are aiming directly at naruto...as the duo hit the clones it gives a massive boost of power to the naruto clones, as the clones hit naruto they all disperse leaving massive damage around the field as naruto looks heavily injured..Naruto suddenly disperses.
Naruto: Wow.
*Haru and Hikaru look back in shock
Haru: WHAT!?
Hikaru: I THOUGHT WE!?!?!?!?!
Naruto: You guys deserve a massive passing mark on teamwork..
Naruto: But then again...Teamwork is the key thing to this..
Naruto reaches into his pocket, as he reaches 2 bells appear he throws the 2 bells at the young genin.
Naruto: Here, You pass!
Haru and his team go in shock.
Haru: WHAT!?!?!?!?!
Hikaru: AM I DREAMING?!?!?!?!?!
Yuki: *YYYYYYYOSSSSSHHHHHHAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!*
Naruto: You are now the new Team 7!, and to celebrate lets go to the worlds best ramen shop, ICHIRAKU RAMEN!!!!!
*Haru and Naruto run toward Ichiraku while Hikaru and Yuki fall behind*
Ayame: and Naruto what would you like?
Naruto: One pork miso please!
Ayame: Coming right up!
A man suddenly step's in
Kakashi: So these are you're new students..
Naruto: Yup, By the way....
Kakashi: Huh?
Naruto: The guy in the blonde hair, I might want to pass him on to you...Teach him some new technique's please!? I'll take the one in the black hair and the brown
Kakashi: Is he from the Kasai Clan? the one with the special Kekkai Genkai...the Hanshonome!?
Naruto: Yup, But he never used it yet, I'm looking forward to it myself
Haru: JUST CONFESS TO HER HIKARU!
*Hikaru blushes*
Hikaru: SHUT UP!!
Haru: JUST DO IT!!!!
*Kakashi smiles*
Kakashi: *Naruto...I have a feeling you'll be raising some great genin, and for now on you'll be "Naruto-Sensei"*
Naruto: OOOOOHHHH!!!! Hey guys! have I introduced you to my Sensei yet? call him Kakashi-Sensei!
Kakashi: Well, I guess theres no holding back then....Hello, I am Kakashi Hatake I am naruto's former sensei, In my right eye I have the sharingan
*Hikaru goes in shock*
Hikaru: !?
*Hikaru get's up and leaves*
Naruto: Hikaru! where are you going!?
Hikaru suddenly stops walking and turns around with a mad and intent looking face...As he turns his eye color changes from brown to dark green, within the dark green eye is a circle with 2 crosses....With the most bloodshotted look Hikaru say's.....
Hikaru: I disgrace the Uchiha, and the Sharingan.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
most hard 'point and click' game that i ever solve without walktrough..
keep it up guyssss
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is definitely harder than usual for a point-and-click game, but pretty fun nonetheless. I liked both endings of the game and thought that multiple endings were a nice addition. I also liked how Hebrew mythology was used for the lore in the game. Great job overall.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
great game!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
oh man I won't play this again, just because it is so fresh in my mind form the last time I played. Ah, it doesn't get much better than these... you and Psionic and Scriptwelder and Skutnik, oh man oh man oh man. YOU ARE MASTERS, sirs. Masters.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
That was a pretty tense intro! The characters somehow don't fit the otherwise somewhat scary atmosphere, but as soon as the game starts and you don't see yourself it is pretty suspenseful. Sceneries remind me of RE somehow... though without the violence and morbid monsters roaming the corners. Good game!

Yesterday was probaly the worst day for me doing BJJ/ MMA ever (thus far). Practicing Gi Choke Techniques and the Arm-Bar if the the person manages to escape from the Gi Choke. Me, my friend and 13 Year old girl who i call "MONSTER" started doing the armbar and on her 1st go on me trying the Armbar i feel my shoulder go pop which felt rough so i didnt feel like sparring in BJJ and just watched. Me being a Dipshit my shoulder feels reasonable enough to do the MMA class after putting some ice on it.
After doing couple drills on the pads in MMA (Not wise thing to do lol) we moved onto practicing Guillitines from Stand up and bringing the person down with us.... several minutes into practicing the Technique the person i was practicing with takes me down and all i hear is "RIPPPPP"..... Both my Boxers and Shorts that i was wearing rip and i have to cover up my ball sack with my hands and run and put Gi trousers on.
When i get Home my shoulder feels numb and niggling pain when i move it up and down. My shorts and Boxers are not gonna recover either.
Not a good day for little ol me.

Brevard, N.C. - Jonathan Whitson scored a game-high 32 points with 19 coming in the second half to lead four Tornados in double-digits and Brevard withstood a furious Newberry comeback to regain possession of first place in the South Atlantic Conference with the 98-84 victory.
Whitson went nine of 15 from the floor and 14 of 17 from the free throw line as well as pulling down 12 rebounds to complete his seventh double-double of the season as Brevard (18-8, 10-5 SAC) shot 55.1 percent (27-49) from the floor in the game. Josh Roper added 19 points, seven assists and six rebounds, while Sam Carlisle chipped in with 18 points and seven rebounds, going six of eight from the floor. Nathan Whitmire added 15 points, going a perfect three-for-three from behind the arc to round out the Tornados scoring efforts.
Newbery (9-17, 4-11 SAC) was led by Ryan Barnes as the redshirt freshman hit five three-pointers on his way to a team-high 18 points. Ray Robinson added 14 points and seven rebounds, while Aaron Edwards had 13 points with nine points coming from behind the arc as the scarlet and gray converted 12 three-pointers in the game. Coleman Young and Stephane Bakinde were also in double figures for Newberry.
Brevard held the edge on points in the paint, outscoring Newberry 38-22 inside the lane and the Tornados finished the game with the edge in rebounds, pulling down 42 in the contest. Due to their late surge, Newberry forced 17 Brevard turnovers with 14 coming in the second half during the comeback.
The Tornados opened up the game with 34-28 advantage, behind the hot hand of Whitmire and Roper. Following a free throw by Carlisle, the Tornados went on a 21-2 run starting at the 4:51 mark as Brevard went up 45-30 on another Carlisle free throw with five seconds remaining in the period as the senior center had seven points in the first half.
Barnes hit a three-pointer as the clock expired off the pass from Jawuan Lockhart as the teams went into the locker room with the Tornados up 45-33.
The Tornados expanded their lead to 27 at the 11:43 mark as Roper converted the second of a pair of free throws to put Brevard up 67-40.
Newberry would stay in the game, showcasing their depth and full-court pressure by going on a 34-18 run to bring the game back to within 11 at 85-74 with 3:17 to play on a layup by Jeremee Davis.
The comeback would stall at the end as Brevard converted nine of 11 free throw attempts and Whitson added a layup as the Tornados left Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday night with the 98-84 win.
With the win, all eyes turn toward Saturday as Brevard hosts fellow SAC leader Catawba College with the winner of the contest winning the South Atlantic Conference regular season championship and the #1 seed at the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Indians on Saturday, February 27th, is set for 4 p.m.

The method would come to be known as "The Pennsylvania System" and the institution "a penitentiary."
"I rediscovered my own humanity in the penitentiary," he admits.
Walking past a large data center building, painted yellow like a penitentiary, I asked what went on inside.
Philadelphia coined the term 'penitentiary'—and set the tone for prison reform.
To visit the penitentiary, where thirty Mormon bishops are imprisoned for polygamy.
To steal would be to go to the penitentiary or the State prison.
At best some crime, perhaps, which had sent him to the penitentiary.
But don't you know that what you have done is a penitentiary offence?
On one occasion it was only Mamie's cleverness and devotion that saved Johnny, for a time, from the penitentiary.
Mayo, they're going to railroad you to Atlanta penitentiary.
early 15c., "place of punishment for offenses against the church," from Medieval Latin penitentiaria, from fem. of penitentiarius (adj.) "of penance," from Latin paenitentia "penitence" (see penitence). Meaning "house of correction" (originally an asylum for prostitutes) is from 1806, short for penitentiary house (1776). Slang shortening pen is attested from 1884.

Is it fair to consider Brenneman's tome a polemic?
If so, I'm always uneasy about from where such pronouncements issue--from the historian, a theologian, perhaps a sociologist? Or just another fellow Christian with no alphabet soup following his name atall?
To the point, the argument against "sentimentality" and "feelings," I'm reminded of my favorite quote from "Old light" [and "proto-unitarian, some say] Charles Chauncy, who questioned the "enthusiasms" of the First Great Awakening:
there are among these Exhorters, Babes in Age, as well as Understanding. They are chiefly indeed young Persons, sometimes Lads, or rather Boys: Nay, Women and Girls; yea, Negroes, have taken upon them to do the Business of Preachers.

Not "polemic," but as I suggested, a prophetic tone throughout the intro.--more Christopher Lasch than anything. But, Kate Bowler has an interview upcoming here with Brenneman, so I'm sure he'll talk about his concerns.

Turkey Taco Recipe
Chris Recipes No Comments
Tags: Blair's Hot Sauce, recipe
- 1 package whole wheat tortillas
- 1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning
- 1 lb 99% fat free ground turkey
- Fat free shredded cheese of choice
- Corn and black bean salsa
- lettuce (shredded)
- black olives (chopped)
- hot sauce (try Mad Dog Liquid Fire or Hog's Ass Habanero Hot Sauce)
- Brown ground turkey in frying pan over medium heat, mix in any additional seasonings you like (I use garlic powder and a locally bottled all purpose salt-free spice). Because the turkey is so fat free, you may need to add a little water to the pan so that it doesn't stick in the browning process.
- Turkey does not need to be drained, so once it is brown mix in taco seasoning – and about half the water the packet recommends, add in hot sauce (try Mad Dog Liquid Fire or Hog's Ass Habanero Hot Sauce) for extra spicy tacos.
- Warm the number of tortillas you will need for your dinner in the microwave between two paper towels. 20-30 seconds is sufficient.
- Stuff tortilla with the meat mixture, cheese, olives, salsa, lettuce and such as desired.
