A Little Preparation will Prevent a lot of Chaos
Have you been charged with ordering solid medical scrubs for your office or department? Perhaps the thought of trying to please everyone has already caused a
Establish the requirements first. How much time do you have?
Finally, inquire about embroidery Many medical departments are opting to add an embroidered logo or name to scrub tops to finish the look. Knowing in advance exactly what the requirements are will help you to channel your scrub outfitting efforts in the right direction from the beginning. Use your list of questions and answer as your road map.
Purchasing Solids for a Group—Now that you know what color you are looking for, keep in mind that dye lots in solid medical scrubs vary from brand to brand even within the same manufacturer so be sure to order solid tops and bottoms from the same manufacturer AND the same line within that manufacturer. For example, ">Cherokee Workwear solids are not always identical to Cherokee Studio B. Similarly, Cherokee Workwear solid colored scrubs are not going to match exactly to White Swan Fundamentals solid colors even if you are ordering navy, ceil or black.
Evaluate the Group. A large group promises a range of sizes, not to mention preferences. Generally, large manufacturers such as White Swan or Cherokee will offer the most options for sizing and styles which will make your job considerably easier. First, are you outfitting men and women? Men tend to prefer a chest pocket and a drawstring waist pant so make sure there is a unisex option. If your employer prefers that everyone wear the same style, you may want to look for a 3 pocket scrub top option. Do you need talls, petites or shorts in scrub pant lengths? Having different length options for both men and women will help ensure a better fit and reduce exchanges, another benefit for you. Cherokee Workwear and White Swan fundamentals offer those options in almost all colors. Do any of the women require skirts? Marcus Uniforms offers skirts by White Swan Fundamentals in several colors.
Finally, establish your plus size requirements in advance so that you can be sure everyone'Äôs scrubs will match. Marcus Uniforms offers talls, shorts, petites and plus sizes in both Cherokee and White Swan. We can also access the manufacturer' inventory for you if there is a size or color that we don'Äôt have in our warehouse.
Size the Group. No matter what brand you select and what retailer you choose, sizing information should be made readily available to you including instructions on how to take the required measurements. Marcus Uniforms includes a manufacturer size chart at the bottom of every product page. Each person should individually consult the size charts and submit size requirements to you including pant lengths. Keep in mind that pant lengths are listed by inseam. A spreadsheet becomes a valuable tool at this stage.
Select your Retailer. When ordering medical scrubs for a group, you want to make sure that your retailer will continue stocking your selected scrubs so that you can easily replenish from time to time. Is there a free shipping or group discount option? How long does it take to ship? What is the return policy? Watch out for fine print on return labels. If there is a return label included in the package and you use it, will you be charged for it later against your exchange or refund? Is embroidery available? If you don' see exactly the scrub style you want, will the retailer check with the manufacturer and find it for you? Can you speak with a person directly to get your questions answered? Is pricing competitive? Ask questions or even ask for a price quote in advance. You are an important customer and the retailer should be happy to assist you to earn your business. If you need assistance with a group order, we'Äôd be happy to help. We can even go through these questions with you and help you sort out your information, make suggestions and help with sizing issues.
Consider Samples. It may be a good idea to order some samples in advance. Even if you have to pay for samples, check the return policy. You may be able to return them within a certain period of time for refund. Samples will allow you to make sure that the color and style that you've selected meet your expectations. They may also allow you to establish size guidelines and minimize returns later.
Pat Yourself on the Back. Even if you haven't pleased all of the people all of the time, you've outfitted a group in medical scrubs and you deserve a little praise. Hopefully, a little advanced planning made it a relatively smooth process…until the required colors change. Let us know how we can help at Marcus Uniforms.

Medical uniforms and specifically nurses' uniforms have evolved through the years, but have emerged as a very important part of the personality of the nurse. The historical starched white uniform signified a solemn discipline, compassion and caring. It was called called a "fever proof uniform" and covered almost the entire body of the nurse. Interestingly, however, the nurse never wore gloves or mask. The 1840's saw new nursing uniforms which depicted the patriarchal constraints within which nurses worked and dressed. In fact, the uniform signified the dress of a female servant of the time. Fast forward to today. How times have changed. The new uniforms worn by nurses are called scrubs, offer bright colors, designs, encouraging words and a whole host of pant styles to fit all shapes, sizes and personalities.
Cherokee has been one of the top brands of women's apparel since 1972. Both comfortable and fashionable, Cherokee's medical scrubs are available in solids and prints at very affordable prices. One of the most popular lines is "Cherokee Workwear." The Workwear line offers over 25 colors at prices to meet your budget, not to mention petite pants, tall pants, flare pants and cargo pants. Cherokee created the HQ line featuring assorted print scrub tops including cartoon prints, for those working with children or the young at heart; holiday scrubs whether patriotic, Valentine's Day or Christmas; veterinary scrub tops with whimsical cats, dogs, frogs, turtles and other pets; or fashionable floral scrubs. Most have a matching scrub jacket. Uniforms such as Cherokee scrubs are now a standard part of a nursing professional's wardrobe.
Cherokee's innovative style, comfort and quality make it a natural choice for nurses in all settings and an easy choice for anyone outfitting a large group of medical professionals. Cherokee knows that healthcare workers such as nurses are not just customers, but special individuals who make exceptional societal contributions. The brand's tagline, "Inspired Comfort", reflects not only the functional and the fashionable design of the nursing uniforms, but also the exceptional services performed by the nursing profession.

Podcast Unlocked Episode 181: Our 2015 Xbox Predictions
February 4, 2015 - The Podcast Unlocked crew goes on record with 12 Xbox predictions for 2015 while revisiting how we did with our 2014 predictions.
Condemned 3 Would Be Made 'Without Interference or Limitations'
February 4, 2015 - Condemned's creator and rights-holder Jace Hall details his offer to help an indie developer make Condemned 3.
Condemned Creator Gauging Interest in Condemned 3
February 2, 2015 - The producer is contemplating selling the rights to the horror franchise to a "proven indie development team."
IGN Presents the History of Survival Horror
October 30, 2009 - Around this time of year, we all like firing up our favorite slasher flick or scary game in the spirit of the season, but it's also a good time to give pause to think about one of gaming's most unique genres. Survival horror is one of the only genres defined not by gameplay mechanics, but by theme, atmosphere, subject matter, and design philosophy. It's also one that runs completely against the grain of the conventional wisdom about game design. If these experiences weren't scary, their gameplay decisions might be considered poor design, but coupled with effective atmosphere those same conventions serve to amplify fear. Survival horror games were some of the first to approach game design in terms of emotion, and as such, they're some of the most important titles in bridging the gap between art and games.
13 Scariest Games of This Generation
October 29, 2008 - Different things scare different people. For some, true fear may come from beyond the grave, taking the form of shambling zombies and vengeful ghosts. For others, fear may be born from our own vanity, twisting us inside and out into mutated, murderous monsters. Still others may find fear's ultimate expression in the unknown sounds and sensations that lie just beyond our perception. And of course, for some reason, many of us are most afraid of the soul-crushing loneliness of a live lived without love. Well, that and little girls. But whatever it is that makes you truly afraid, odds are there's a game that capitalizes on that fear and invites you to confront it head on. Today we've perused the scariest titles available for the current crop of consoles and those that have come out on the PC in the last few years to come up with a "must have" list for gamers seeking the ultimate in scary experiences.
Poll Results - Favorite Horror Games
October 16, 2008 - This is Halloween, this is Halloween... October hosts the creepiest holiday of the year, making it the perfect time to break out your favorite horror games and enjoy a good scare. Horror-themed games have existed since the start of videogames -- remember Haunted House on the Atari 2600? -- but the genre has taken off since the PlayStation-Saturn-N64 generation finally gave developers the power to really craft some scary situations.
Condemned 2 Bloodshot Demo Available on 4/18 at 2:00am
April 17, 2008 - SEGA of America, Inc. has announced that a playable demo for Condemned 2: Bloodshot, the next chapter in the terrifying series, will be available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on Friday, April 18 at 2:00 am.
Contrarian Corner: Condemned 2 Bloodshot
April 1, 2008 - Contrarian Corner is a feature on Insider meant to take a more critical look at some recently-released games. The average review tends to treat a game as an objective product, evaluating its merits based on a series of frequently technical categories, like sound, framerate, gameplay interface, value, variety of modes, and overall fun factor. This typically doesn't leave much room to look at a game's thematic elements or how well they are integrated with the game's technical components. To that end, Contrarian Corner is intended to be a place for a more holistic discussion of games which have been the recipient of either an abundance of single-minded praise, or an undue amount of criticism. We won't be taking cheap shots or lobbying baseless accusations from the bully pulpit, but, instead, aim to start a conversation about the human value of the games we play and how they might evolve from here. If you're interested in joining in, keep reading. Games seem particularly well-suited to the exploitation of indecent themes with their foundation in fantasy fulfillment and participatory escapism. Condemned 2: Bloodshot, even more than its bleak predecessor, is an exploitive and persistently indecent game that traps players in a Clive Barker-esque minus world. It traps the player in a city that hopelessly oscillates between night and twilight; in which citizens are demented zombies who indiscriminately fight anything and everything that crosses their path; where demonic black ooze permeates every environment vomiting forth tarred mutants; a world where human organs and dismembered carcasses serve as criminal cartography for unwrapping the game's sequential mysteries. It's the kind of single-minded and cartoonish fantasy world that only an anxious fifteen year-old boy could love. Condemned 2 is a cruel reminder of how the prevailing aesthetics of videogamers can effectively snuff out the creative spark in an otherwise promising game.
Condemned 2 AU Review
March 27, 2008 - Who hasn't ever hosted the notion of grabbing a crazy woman in bondage gear, throwing her head into a hydraulic press and creating brains-pâté? Let me see a show of hands. Nobody? …Alright, so most normal people (read: non-IGN staff) can go about their lives without resorting to heretofore unheard of levels of violence, but that's the kind of game series Condemned is. It's the ends justifying the utterly blood-sodden means. It's a game about a drunken jerk who kills his way through junkies and monsters to stop a serial killer who has a thing for severing heads and ripping people up. Not exactly the happiest premise, really.
Condemned 2 Bloodshot Head-To-Head
March 25, 2008 - head-to-head-condemned2_032508 About The Head-to-Head The Head-to-Head is designed to let gamers know which version of a multiplatform game is worth your hard-earned money. We break down each segment of a game, and then tell you which platform reigns supreme when the dust settles. Condemned 2: Bloodshot is a grim and nasty game, filled with visceral fisticuffs, grimy urban rot, and a bunch of demented homeless guys running around in pig masks. Really, it's no small wonder your character has to keep drinking booze to steady his gun hand. The game's also got an extraordinarily ambient sound design, persistently nightmarish visuals, great combo-based first person fighting, and a refined sleuthing component that adds a whole new layer of depth to the traditional first person game. As an added, bonus Monolith has added an online multiplayer mode to give fans of hardcore urban action coming back long after the single player campaign has been mastered. If that sounds like your kind of game, there's still one major decision standing in your way: is it better on PS3 or Xbox 360? We've gone the distance with both versions and lived to tell the tale. Keep on reading to find out which version is the best.
Taste Condemned on 360
March 14, 2008 - SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced gamers can sample the highly anticipated Condemned 2 video game from esteemed development studio, Monolith Productions, via a demo released on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Available for immediate download, the demo is taken from mid-way through the first level and gives players an opportunity to get to grips with Ethan Thomas, the former Serial Crimes Unit investigator, in his crusade to discover just what is going on in the sinister world around him.
SEGA Urge You To Condemn Your Console
March 13, 2008 - LONDON (13th March, 2008) – SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that two chilling Condemned 2™ Theme Packs and five Picture Packs are available via the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®. Developed by Monolith Productions, the geniuses of spine-chilling video games, Condemned 2 is the next chapter in the award winning and critically acclaimed Condemned™ series. The two Theme Packs, "Fight Club Theme" & "Characters Theme" are full of beautifully grim artwork to use as wallpapers, whilst the Picture Packs feature similarly gruesome imagery. The Theme Packs are available for 150 Microsoft Points each, and the Picture Packs for 120 Microsoft Points each.
SEGA Ships Condemned 2: Bloodshot to Retailers
March 11, 2008 - SEGA of America, Inc. today announced that Condemned 2: Bloodshot has shipped to retailers for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and will be available on the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system on March 18, 2008. Condemned 2: Bloodshot, the next chapter in the horrifying series that began with the award-winning and critically acclaimed Condemned: Criminal Origins, is a first-person action thriller that will immerse players back into a universe of unimaginable psychological terror.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot Review
March 11, 2008 - If it came down to it, would you be willing to rip your toilet seat off of its hinges to beat down a frenzied meth addict? You'd better be prepared to answer 'yes' to that question if you're going to take a swing at Condemned 2: Bloodshot. The sequel to Monolith and SEGA's Xbox 360 launch title returns to the seedy underworld for more first-person melee combat with a hint of horror. Ok, it's more than a hint. Condemned 2 offers up the same formula that made the first game a success and tackles every criticism levelled at the franchise with success in most areas. It's not the perfect sequel, but it'll do for those of us that found the first a refreshing alternative to the standard first-person formula.
Condemned 2 Achievements
March 5, 2008 - Condemned 2 is set to hit store shelves March 11. The sequel to Monolith's bum-busting fright-fest includes an improved forensics kit, new enemies to battle and plenty of creepy moments. It also includes brand new Achievements for those who can withstand the terror.
Condemned 2 Hands-on
February 13, 2008 - Condemned: Criminal Origins took us into the heart of a city gone mad, filled with psychopaths and unfriendly vagrants, on a search for a serial killer. Guns were an afterthought -- to survive you had to use whatever blunt object you could find. The sequel quite literally pulls no punches. This is a game that addresses every criticism of the first title and then ratchets the intensity up to 11.
Condemned 2 Forensics
February 12, 2008 - One of the areas most open to improvement in Condemned: Criminal Origins was the forensics investigations. Here you are, an officer looking for clues across a number of crime scenes, and the gameplay never evolved beyond pointing a tool the game chose for you at a spot and pushing a button. Monolith took the criticism regarding this aspect of the game to heart and Condemned 2 now features a much deeper and involved forensics system.
Condemned 2 Character Bios
February 11, 2008 - If you didn't get a chance to play Condemned: Criminal Origins, now is the time to study up on the game in anticipation of the upcoming sequel from SEGA and Monolith. The makers of the game were kind enough to send over the backgrounds on a few of the main characters you'll run into in Bloodshot.
Condemned 2 Multiplayer Hands-on
January 18, 2008 - Admit it. You got a queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach when SEGA announced that Monolith's follow-up to the Xbox 360 launch title, Condemned, would have multiplayer modes. This is a game where beating possessed vagrants to death with a blunt object is the norm. With the online multiplayer in Condemned 2 you'll do the same, only this time that bum will be controlled by your friend.
IGN Xbox 360 Previews 2008
January 18, 2008 - The dawn of a new year brings with it unlimited possibilities. With more than 200 games already announced for Xbox 360 and many more announcements coming, 2008 has all the makings of a monster. Our purpose in providing a preview of Xbox 360 in 2008 is twofold: We want to help get your mind wrapped around the bevy of promising '08 titles and we want to leave you salivating for more.

We Need Each Other
I struggle, I search, I dig, I fight
for light and sweet delight
See and hear the endless flame
of my own deep burning pain
I know, I see all the widespread fire
everywhere, in any far away shire
No way to rule and own the soil
blood steams like burning oil
Destructive dark dead useless hate
no longer believe in love as fate
Giving in to all that is lost and evil
forgotten strength, no will for upheaval
Yet I struggle, I search, I dig, I fight
for even the tiniest sparkle of light
Though one little sparkle is powerless
it will die out ...

By Todd Bernhard on Mon, 02/11/2013
I "downsized" from a full size iPad in favor of the iPad mini, because it's a pleasure to carry around the mini compared to the somewhat burdensome iPad. But when I added a case to my mini, it became bulky again.
I still prefer a case to protect my valuable device from scratches, but also for comfort and style. Thankfully, the folks at Kavaj have created a set of luxurious cases that add minimal bulk yet perform admirably. Because they use high quality leather, each case is unique and may take some time to stretch and adjust to fit the iPad mini precisely, allowing for the power button to work, for example.
As thin as the case is, it still provides built-in magnets to automatically wake or sleep the iPad mini. Kavaj offers several colors and styles, with or without a loop for a stylus. There is a mechanism to prop the case in a couple of positions for typing or watching videos.
Now, I can keep my iPad in a secure case, but without weighing it down, thanks to Kavaj. Luxury at last!

Louis Garneau Massimo II Jacket
Familiarity: I've used it several times
This jacket is a great jacket. I've worn it down to 50 degrees with 12 MPH winds so far. It completely stops the wind. Worn it in light rain also and stayed dry. Looks fanatastic. Very stylish and high viz. Very well designed jacket for warmth, wind stoppage, and breathes out the back. Perfect for layering. A+.

Thanks, Gail, happy to hear you had fun with this puzzle. :-)
I love the design and the colors!Thank you for a fun puzzle, Barb.
I'm so pleased you had fun with this, Mariasha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :-)I don't think we'll be getting that much snow, Katie, just flurries predicted for the next few days, maybe an inch or so in all. It is sunny here too but awfully cold for me. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. :-)
Fantastic kaleido Barb! It's a good thing there are rays of light emanating outward, because those center look suspiciously like snowflakes! We have snow in the forecast for the next 3 days and could get up to 8" by late Monday. Today, although very cold, is very sparkly with sun on yesterday's inch of snow.
I really liked this one, it was fun to do...thanks.
Thanks, Jan. Glad you think it's a good one too. So interesting what the kaleido maker will do. :-)
Barb, this is one of my favorites, too. The "rays" and the way they move are stunning. I kept thinking about rays of light and starshine. Gorgeous puzzle!!3:58
I think this is one of my favourites of all that I've posted, Ardy. The pieces just flew together for me. LOLEven beat Kirsten for the second time this week which is remarkable although no one can beat Turbo Franc! :-))Do hope it's warmer where you are than here. It's downright freezing here. Brrrrrrr!!!
Love this Barb. I thought I was faster than I was. Guess it's because I was enjoying it so much. Time flies when you're having fun!! LOL Thank you.
Sometimes the kaleido maker comes up with something quite magical, Kirsten. I was very pleased with this one as I could see the pencil crayons. Glad you like the colours in this one too. Thanks. :-)
Isn't the kaleido maker magical Barb? I would have said these were pleated fabric!! And I love those colours - some of them seem quite art deco to me. Or maybe the geometric shapes were influencing that thought. I'm not sure. But I really liked it. Thanks so much. :)))

The Costco Report: Organic Beef
I cooked this steak – with a simple red wine-honey reduction and a creamy parmigiano-peppercorn salad – in honor of one of my especially snarky fans, someone who objects strenuously every time I buy something from a supermarket for what I've billed as a "cooking locally" weblog. I'll stipulate the point, but my money says I'm not the only parent in the County who'd like to serve their kids a decent, healthy steak for a few less bucks. But is it a decent, healthy steak?Read More

Tennessee Titans training camp started Thursday, but Chance Warmack, the team's first-round pick, was nowhere in sight, per TitanInsider.com
Warmack and the Titans are still agruing over offset language the team wants to include in the former University of Alabama guard's rookie contract.
With Warmack unavailable, Titans coach Mike Munchak was forced to mix and match a bit on the Tennessee offensive line Thursday. Rob Turner stepped in to run with the ones, getting some time at center and some at Warmack's projected right guard spot, swapping with Fernando Velasco, who is the favorite to be the team's starting center.
Munchak sounded cautiously optimistic that Warmack's deal could get done soon.
"Hopefully, that'll be tomorrow and Chance will be here by the weekend and now we can look at the full picture of who plays well next to each other, who the center is, who complements the left and right guard," Munchak said.

I am running SyncToy 2.1, version 126.96.36.199.
When synchronizing folders that contain Outlook messages saves as *.msg files, I recieve the message "Error: Cannot write to the destination file. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)..."
If I modify the synchronization settings to exclude *.msg files, the synchronization runs without errors.
I have browsed this SyncToy support forum and haven't found any posts that relate to this error.
Any help would be appreciated.
I know it's a long shot but I had this error message when trying to write files from a local drive to a mapped SharePoint location. The problem came down to the name I'd used when I mapped the SharePoint library. I'd mapped it as something like this:

and kept hitting this issue. However, when I mapped it like this:

it worked.

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood's UKIP attack condemned
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood has been criticised for her fierce attack on UKIP by a former party leader.
Dafydd Elis-Thomas, the former assembly presiding officer, condemned Ms Wood's description of a vote for UKIP as a vote against Wales in her speech to the Plaid Cymru spring conference.
He said: "It is facile and assumes a kind of superiority that we decide who is Welsh and who is not Welsh."
Meanwhile, MEP Jill Evans appealed for backing in May's European elections.

COOKING WITH JESSICA KARLEY: Grilled pizzas are easy people-pleasers
In the past, I was leery of cooking pizza on the grill. I love to eat grilled pizza, but surprisingly, I had not been in a kitchen with anyone that had prepared it! The entire concept of just putting the dough on the grill seemed a bit strange to me.
I mean, "Aren't grills for meat and veggies?" "Won't the dough just stick, start on fire, and then leave me calling for delivery anyway?"
The answer to that is, "No way!" Pizza on the grill is so easy, and there is sure to be a topping to please everyone.
The first one I tried in our house was a favorite from a restaurant we visited last winter and have been craving ever since. The prosciutto, pear and arugula pizza sounds very "adult," but kids do like pears. In our house, it wasn't well received, but I will admit, I didn't really push the subject because it left more for me!
Press the pizza dough into your desired pizza shape — it doesn't have to be perfect — on a surface that has been dusted with cornmeal. Then, pick the crust up and put it onto a tray to carry to the grill.
Brush the top of the crust with olive oil and place it top-side down onto a grill that has been preheated to 450 degrees. Turn off the burners that are directly under the crust and leave on just the outer burners.
Shut the lid to the grill and wait four to five minutes. The wait is a great time to head back into the kitchen to gather your prepared pizza toppings.
Once you are back to the grill, remove the crust from the heat and place it right side up onto your tray. Top the pizza with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, shaved prosciutto and thinly sliced pear. For another great cheese to add, you can also try making this pizza with crumbled gorgonzola in place of the mozzarella.
Place the pizza back on the grill to cook for an additional five minutes or until the cheese is melted. When the pizza is ready to take off of the grill, top it with arugula, which adds a fantastic, fresh, peppery flavor to the rich cheese and sweet pear.
It is so simple and tastes just light enough that you won't feel too guilty about eating the entire thing. After all, it is topped with a salad!
If I can't sell you on grilling pizza and topping it with a lettuce, have no fear. I have two more options for you.
The next pizza I tried, under the watchful eye of my black lab, was Grilled Sausage and Pepper Pizza. The dough is again pressed onto a cornmeal dusted surface, brushed with olive oil and placed oil side down onto the grill.
Once it is removed from the grill the first time, spread a garlic and herb goat cheese over the top. Yum! The flavor doesn't stop there, however. You will then top with sliced grilled sausage, red pepper strips and a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella. Place the pizza back on the grill until the cheese is melted.
The last, and certainly a favorite of the smaller fingers in my house, is the Grilled S'mores Pizza. OK — if you know me and my love of s'mores, you will also know that it's a favorite of mine…for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
When you remove this crust from the grill for the first time, brush it with Nutella and top with a hefty mixture of milk and white chocolate chips, graham cracker pieces and mini marshmallows.
This pizza takes a little closer to 10 minutes once placed back on the grill to get the marshmallows to puff and turn a light golden brown, but the taste is worth every last second of waiting. Serve the pizza while the marshmallows are still warm and gooey. I will warn you ahead of time: Make more than one!

Grilled Prosciutto, Pear & Arugula Pizza
7-8 ounces fresh pizza dough
¼ cup cornmeal
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 ounces shredded prosciutto
½ fresh ripe pear, sliced thin
1 cup fresh arugula
1. Preheat gas or charcoal grill to 450 degrees with cover down.
2. Sprinkle cornmeal on your counter. Press dough into a 7x11 rectangle. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil. Place cornmeal side down on a sheet pan or tray to carry to the grill.
3. Lift the lid of the grill and turn off the burners that will be directly under the dough when you place it onto the grill. Place the dough directly on the grill grates, oiled side down. Shut the lid and cook for four to five minutes or until the crust is grill marked and starting to turn golden brown. Carefully remove the crust from the grill and place the grilled side up on your tray.
4. Top with cheese, prosciutto, and pear. Place the pizza, cornmeal side down, on the grill with the lid down for an additional five minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the pizza from the grill and top with arugula.
Grilled Sausage and Red Pepper Pizza
7-8 ounces fresh pizza dough
¼ cup cornmeal
1 tbsp olive oil
⅓ cup softened garlic and herb flavored goat cheese (I use Boursin.)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
½ red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
2 4- to 6-ounce sausages, grilled and sliced into ½ inch thick rounds
fresh chopped herbs for garnish
Follow the same first three steps as the first pizza. Top the pizza by spreading the goat cheese over the grilled, non-cornmeal side of the pizza. Add the mozzarella, parmesan, sausage and pepper strips.
Place the pizza back on the grill for five to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. (This pizza could take longer than the first because of the additional cheese.) Remove the pizza from the grill. Top with fresh chopped Italian herbs if desired.
Grilled S'mores Pizza
7-8 ounces fresh pizza dough
¼ cup cornmeal
1 tbsp olive oil
⅓ cup Nutella, or other hazelnut chocolate spread
¼ cup white chocolate chips
⅓ cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup mini-marshmallows
⅓ cup graham cracker pieces
Follow the same first three steps as the first pizza. Top the pizza by spreading the nutella over the grilled, non-cornmeal side of the pizza. Add the chocolate chips and top with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Place the pizza back on the grill for an additional five to 10 minutes or until the marshmallows have started to puff and turn golden brown and the chocolate chips are soft. Remove from the grill.

TAMPA -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan Sandy Albanese promised friends that if the team ever made it to the Super Bowl, she would repaint her house in glorious Bucs colors.
So last Monday morning, the longtime St. Petersburg real estate agent opened up the phone book and started calling painters. She paid one $1,300 to bathe her home in authentic Bucs red with pewter and black trim.
She even took her Bucs helmet to Home Depot to make sure they got the colors right.
"I love it," she said. "It's beautiful. The neighbors are coming by honking their horns and screaming 'Go Bucs!'"
That kind of exuberance over Tampa Bay's first ever Super Bowl berth has the entire region gripped in a frenzy of fandom this week. It's been 27 long years since the expansion Bucs pulled on their old pale orange jerseys and began their Super Bowl quest.
It took an improbable win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday put them there, and the bandwagon is heaving as the pewter pirates prepare to tangle with the Oakland Raiders Sunday night.
Fans were lining up this week to buy anything with a Bucs logo, perhaps partly to comply with Tampa Mayor Dick Greco's unofficial edict that they show their colors. Local television stations anchored newscasts from San Diego, elementary schools suspended classes for pep rallies, and electronics stores had a run on big-screen TVs.
"There are just people who have gone bananas," Greco said. "That's all that's on anybody's mind."
Scott and Elayne Siegel of Tarpon Springs braved temperatures in the 20s for a 7 a.m. pep rally Friday at a Tampa barbecue restaurant owned by Lee Roy Selmon, the only Bucs player in the NFL Hall of Fame.
"I've been a season-ticket holder for 23 years," said Scott Siegel, 47, hours before flying to San Diego for the game. "I've sat through a lot of double-digit losing seasons. I've been waiting a long time for this."
His 42-year-old wife held tight to a scowling Chuckie, the murderous doll from the "Child's Play" movies and the alter ego of Bucs coach Jon Gruden. She recalled being pregnant with her now 23-year-old son and watching the Bucs from the uncomfortable aluminum bleachers in old Tampa Stadium.
"I can't put it into words," she said. "It's Christmas. It's like opening a present on Christmas morning as a little kid. It's everything."
A Chuckie doll was the hood ornament on what Kathy Hall calls the "Bucmobile," her electric wheelchair decked out in team colors and paraphernalia. The 40-year-old Largo resident, wrapped in Bucs blankets against the chill, said she's been a season ticket holder since 1985 and considers the team like family.
"It's overwhelming," she said. "I have six tattoos already, and next week I'm going to go get the Buccaneer flag tattooed on my arm with the Super Bowl logo, win or lose."
All week, the 5,000-square-foot Buccaneer Heaven in north Tampa has been selling gear as fast as it comes in. People are lined up outside in the morning before the doors even open.
"I think what you're seeing is years of pure frustration turning into joy and exuberance," said Scott Reynolds, operations manager and editor of the fan newspaper Pewter Report.
"This town has never deserved anything more," colleague Brad Cohen said.
Although temperatures didn't make it out of the 30s, several hundred people gathered to cheer for the team at a lunchtime rally downtown Friday.
"We know you're all going crazy and probably not getting any sleep," U.S. Rep Jim Davis told the crowd. "I just want to say, the Bucs are already winners, and so are we."
Of course, what's a Super Bowl without a few little wagers?
Davis bet on a Bucs win with U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland. If Tampa Bay wins, Lee will pay off in coffee from Berkeley and gingerbread cookies. If the Raiders are victorious, Davis will come up with Cuban sandwiches, black beans and guava turnovers.
Greco got on the phone Thursday with Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown and put up a weekend at the Marriott Waterside hotel, dinners at two of Tampa's landmark restaurants, Bern's Steak House and the Columbia, a trip to Busch Gardens, cigars, Cuban coffee and a jar of guava jelly.
If the Bucs win, Brown said he'll deliver beer from an Oakland brewery, ribs from a local restaurant and a home-cooked meal at the mayor's loft.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson has put a box of Florida oranges on the line against California Sen. Barbara Boxer, who will send a box of almonds if her Raiders fall.
Win or lose, a celebration is planned for Raymond James Stadium Monday night when the team returns. Gates open at 6 p.m. Plans for a parade are in the works, too.

Decided to go back to contact lenes after a 2 year break. Boots the optician pointed me in the direction of Acuve Moist, so I bought a 30 day supply (£39 in total).
After a few days I realised that my expereince was truely horrid. These things are so so wet they slip n slide all over. Just getting them into the eyes was a nightmare and often resulting in; 1) a ripped or damaged lens 2) fluff or towl thread just insantly finding it's way to the lens resulting in the lens being wasted ( as getting the fluff off the lens was near immpossible 3) air bing trapped behing the lens, creating an 'air-bubble' on the eye, causeing a horrid feeling of dis-comfort and non vision. So, even though I had 30 pairs, I'd go through 2 or 3 EACH EYE EACH DAY in wastage.... and so 30 lens lasted only 15. Bad value for money at £39.00
My other dislike was the world suddenly became super sized and large. I recall some funny sentances to my girlfiend; such as

Hot chicks, gore, graphic sex, martial arts, torture, squids — sounds like a delectable little recipe for some deeply disturbed cinema, doesn't it? Perhaps it's time to prepare your fragile minds for "Zombie 108", a motion picture that has the distinction of being China's first apocalyptic zombie flick. Below you'll discover six posters for the upcoming undead opus, which is set to bow in China this March. No telling when the rest of us will get a chance to see it.
This synopsis should, in theory, help clear the confusion:
The nuclear disaster that Japan suffered accidentally alters the genes of the influenza virus. A group of young people got infected and haven't paid any attention to their illness, until a one of them surprisingly bites a girl's throat, on a drunken night out. Their friends start screaming at the gushing blood. After a virus event, the government orders to quarantine the sick and evacuate all residents in the vicinity. Meanwhile, the army and the police join to form an team to enter the quarantined zone. However, those survivors suddenly become zombies to attack the living. In no time, the whole city is awash bloodshed. People from all walks of life, including gangsters, policemen and the civilians must to work together to escape seemingly, but in fact they have hidden schemes to compete with and even kill each others. The thing most tested when doomsday arrives, is the human mind.
If you desire to ingest a ton of bloody stills from the film, swing by the official website and knock yourself out. The posters, as well as a seriously NSFW trailer, reside below.

It didn't take long for Mater Academy (Hialeah Gardens, Fla.) head coach Eddie Gorriz to realize Willie Abreu was not normal.
Back when he was a rising junior outfielder at Miami Springs High, Abreu was in the process of transferring to Mater Academy, which already featured star outfielder Albert Almora—a six-time USA Baseball alumni who would become the sixth overall selection in the draft by the Cubs in 2012.
A year ago, Abreu got his first taste of USA Baseball with the 16-and-under National Team that took home a gold medal for the sixth straight year at the IBAF 16U World Youth Championships in Mexico. He hit .423 (11-for-26) in seven games and said the experience was the most memorable of his career.
The idea of patrolling the same outfield as Almora would create more exposure for Abreu while also playing for a better program and against stronger competition.
"(Almora) was max-effort in everything he did, on and off the field," Abreu said. "I try to approach everything the same way.
"He's a phenomenal defender. Anyone that's ever played with him could learn something just by watching him shag fly balls."
Before Gorriz ever saw Abreu step onto a baseball field, he said his conditioning, training and work ethic were "out of this world." Even after having seen him play this past season after transferring to Mater Academy, Abreu continues to impress Gorriz with his athleticism.
"One thing I love having my kids do is weighted pull-ups, and if there's a weight Willie can't get over the bar, he'll go after it three or four more times while everyone else is cleaning up and getting ready to leave. He'll be like, 'Coach, one more, one more. I can get this.' He's that kind of kid, you know?" Gorriz said.
A 6-foot-3, 205-pound outfielder committed to play college ball at Miami, Abreu is a "freak athlete," according to Gorriz—not just for his size, but for anyone. Gorriz claims he's seen Abreu jump flat footed off the ground onto a box that stands five feet high.
One time, Abreu was matched with two soccer players at Mater Academy and was tied together at the waists by a bungee cord and a ring holding the three together in the middle, with all three lines going in different directions. Gorriz said even though the soccer players were strong kids, Abreu dragged both of them on the ground, snapped the cord and had whip marks on his back from where it snapped the other two lines and hit him.
"When you're good and you know you're good, you have nothing to prove to people," Gorriz said. "But, it allows him to be humble and he's very positive and a tremendous teammate as well. And, it's not just on the baseball field. It translates into the classroom as well. He's a good student that works hard and has a bright future in whatever he chooses to do."
Upon first glance, one wouldn't expect Abreu to be a plus runner as well due to his strong and mature frame. Gorriz said Abreu has turned in several 60-yard dash times at 6.7 seconds, which is at least 0.2 seconds faster than he was at a year ago thanks to improvement with his stride.
Abreu was born and raised in Miami and comes from a family that has instilled a perfectionist mentality that was not only evident to Gorriz, but to the Team Dixie coaches he played for during the Tournament of Stars this summer. Abreu went on to play for Team USA and was recently named to the 18-and-under squad after they announced their final cuts. They will compete in the IBAF 18U World Championships in Seoul, South Korea, beginning Aug. 30.
"There's nothing that I feel like I don't need to improve on to help my team win games," Abreu said. "It's an honor to be invited to all of these great events, but now is not the time to relax. It's a long journey, so I'm trying my best so there's nothing anybody can point out and say that is my weakness."
Gorriz said he tells his players all the time that he wants high school baseball to be a stepping stone for where they want to be someday—not only as players, but human beings as well. Even though Abreu has a bright future ahead in baseball, he said his parents still expect him to earn a college degree someday.

Like many a parent, Jessica Hickey's dad has been asking when the grandchildren are coming ever since her wedding day.
Hickey explained on Reddit that she's an only child and her mother died 20 years ago, which makes what she recently presented her father with even more special to him.
Sitting at a restaurant, the man wearing a Chicago Cubs jacket opened a yellow box and chuckled when he saw what was inside.
"Looks like something you used to suck on when you were little," the father said, picking up a baby's pacifier.
"Yeah? You should probably read it," Hickey said.
He did, and proceeded to make the cutest series of faces ever.
Watch the video to get the full effect:
"All right!" he said breathlessly after learning he was going to be a grandfather.
Why didn't he get what she was trying to tell him right away? Hickey wrote on Reddit that he said he thought she was making an "old person joke" at first.

My Latest Video Course, "Illustrator CS6 One-on-One: Intermediate," Came Out 2 Weeks Ago
That's right, Part 2 of my cradle-to-grave video treatise on Adobe Illustrator CS6 is out on lynda.com. I would have mentioned it 2 weeks ago, on November 21, when the course went live. But I was on vacation in Ireland. In the northern city of Derry, to be exact. And while Colleen was blogging every day, and I was making her graphics, it seemed somehow antithetical to the whole vacationing thing for me to mention my for-profit course. You know what I mean?
But I'm home now. And I've even sneaked in a couple of days of legitimate work. So what the hell, time to blog the course. That image below, that's a Venn diagram bear. He's not a dog, he's a bear. Perhaps a bit over-eager. But still, he's a bear.
Here's the skinny: Illustrator CS6 One-on-One: Intermediate is 11 hours and 8 minutes long. Which makes it exactly as long as my previously most recent video course, Photoshop CS6 One-on-One: Advanced. Which is purely incidental, but so weird, don't you think? Meanwhile, Illustrator CS6 One-on-One: Intermediate comprises 11 chapters, all of which convey essential information about the world's most powerful vector-based drawing application. Topics of this course include layers, swatches, strokes, gradients, and repeating tile patterns, the last of which have received loads of attention in Illustrator CS6. (Do you find tiresome long lists like this useful?) Not to mention the alignment options, Pathfinder operations, and Live Paint. (No? Well, that's why I made that most recent list shorter.) Plus I'll show you how to work with placed images, print your stuff, and output your junk to the Web.
Say, gang, it's real swell.
By way of proof, I offer you my three favorite sample files from the course. There's the bear, above, from Chapter 18, "Live Paint and Interlocking Paths." (Um, that would make him a fourth file, so forget I mentioned it.) And then there's this Golden Ticket from Chapter 13, "Strokes, Dashes, and Arrows," which features strokes on top of strokes embedded inside other strokes. Seriously, it's a trip.
And then there's this one from Chapter 15, "Seamlessly Repeating Patterns." In Illustrator CS6 it's difficult to create a pattern that doesn't look great. This one is a hex pattern, and I like how the various incarnations align (and drift out of sync) with each other.
And finally there's this one from Chapter 17, "Pathfinder Operations." It's not a pretty file. But it demonstrates every one of Illustrator's Pathfinder operations, which let you combine paths in all sorts of incredibly wonderful ways. In other words, what the graphic lacks in beauty, it more than makes up for in educational value.
Seriously, you gotta check it out. And let me know what you think.
Your lynda-dot-com courses
One really really good reason to join Lynda-dot-com is to gain access to your training stuff.
Some time ago I use to stare in blank amazement at a PS/Illustrator/Indesign screen and think WTF!!! is going on.
Now after trying and I do mean trying to keep up with your fearsome pace, suddenly I am starting to get it.
I had considerable enjoyment last night following your course (Illustrator) and creating a spirograph..takes me back to my ill spent youth.(doodling). But to be perfectly serious the maths behind this is quite complex if you know anything about parametric equations, mathematical curves, hypotrochoids and epitrochoids.
I have an engineering degree and you have helped me "de-stupify" all this stuff and help my creative aspirations.
Have written to the Lynda-dot-com team several times lauding your training materials.
When you say on your videos you have used these tools all your life it really shows in your training.
So all I can say for anyone reading this shell out the dough, join Lyndadotcom search under "authors" for Deke, he has shed loads of training stuff there..
Money very well spent.
Are there two Dekes?
I just don't see how one Deke has time to do all the stuff you do. Seriously though I'm glad you have time to make all these cool video tutorials and still squeeze in world sight-seeing tours. For me I barely have time to decorate my Christmas tree.
If I'm not mistaken...
Reading your comment *is* the Scary Maze Game, right?

Regards, Neel
Dear Neel,
In order to make sense of my answer, I need use the following assumptions about your current level of fitness:
1. Let's suppose that you are not in PR shape right now, but that a reasonable goal for the one cross country race you will have this fall is 19:15. (At your age, the process of maturity can bring some pretty decent improvements all by itself. Don't discount the possibility of reaching that goal with just a little more work.)
2. When you did run the 20:06, you should have been doing your 400m interval workout at a race pace of about 97 sec per 400.
3. However, in light of the fact you were really not doing much running over the course of a week, I suspect that some of your runs were pretty hard because a typical interval workout should cover about 3 miles worth of repeats. (ie. 12 x 400m.)
4. With your current pattern of weekly workouts looking like it will duplicate last year's, I would suggest that you concentrate on getting your 400m interval splits down to 90 seconds.
5. That pace should produce an intensity of effort level around 90-95% of max and will be higher than the first mile or so of your race. If you can add a couple more repeats to reach 10 x 400 at that pace, you wouldn't really have to do much more to achieve a time in the low 19:00's.
6. You should probably limit the length of your weekly long run to 7 or 8 miles so once you reach that target, just stick with that length. That will produce all the endurance you need to run a 5K.
Hope these suggestions help.
Good luck,
Coach Benson

Figure 2:
Factors involved in postnatal intestinal innate immune adaptation. The colonizing microflora and the intestinal mucosa interact in a two-way street to establish life-time tolerance and mutualism between each other. While bacteria activate innate immune pathways in host epithelial and immune cells inducing immune maturation and tolerance, mucosal cells produce factors (antimicrobial peptides AMPs, mucins, immunoglobulin A IgA, etc.) to control the number and the composition of bacteria. Microflora is also influenced by environmental factors (hygiene, lifestyle, etc.). Maternal factors, such as IgA, mucins, oligosaccharides, or other soluble factors, can modulate the microflora, and contribute to improve host immune defense and maturation (maternal immune cells, soluble factors, etc.).

Murray Darling Basin Authority faces Forbes and Dubbo crowds
Irrigators say the Murray Darling Basin Authority's explanation of its proposed cuts to water have failed to ease their concerns.
The Authority held two public forums in Forbes and Dubbo yesterday, to explain its recommended reductions of 23 per cent in the Lachlan Valley and between 14 and 18 per cent on the Macquarie and Castlereagh Rivers.
The M-D-B-A representatives have been accused of 'hiding behind legislation', with some farmers saying the Water Act, which the draft guide is based on, is deeply flawed.
Mary Ewing from Lachlan Valley Water says she's not convinced by the Authority's reasons for the cutbacks.
"I don't think so at this stage. One of the things that came through repeatedly, clearly it's probably a frustration for the Authority is their Act is about doing things with water, " she said.
"Mike Taylor said if you can pump water into wetlands you'll get a much better results with less water. I think we're all struggling with the frustration that the Act is quite limited. "
Trangie's John Payter says farming assets will be devalued by the loss of water and farmers will need compensation.
He says small communities are an easy target for the Government.
"I would also put it to you that we go to the greater Sydney area, tell everyone in that area that we are now going to compulsorily acquire one bedroom off your house, to fix Sydney's homeless problems and see what kind of reaction we have. We have plenty of passion, unfortunately we don't have numbers. We're rural Australia."
The Chairman of the Murray Darling Basin Authority Micheal Taylor concedes that the science behind the draft plan needs to be tested.
At the meeting in Dubbo questions put to the board focused on how the figures for proposed water cuts for the Macquarie Castlereagh area were determined.
Mr Taylor says he believes the crowd in Dubbo gave the authority a fair hearing.
He says there is still a lot more data from regional areas to be collated.
"It's always valuable to be able to sit down with local catchment management authorities leading edge irrigators and environmental experts so that we can actually question and probe the science locally and we will do that, it's a very important opportunity that we're grateful for people to give their time to," he said.
The Federal Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, has used his visit to Forbes to distance the Coalition from criticism of the legislation behind the Basin Authority's draft guide.
Farmers and irrigators have accused the M-D-B-A of 'hiding behind' the Water Act during its public consultations in the Central West.
Mr Abbott says while the legislation was introduced by the Federal Coalition while it was in office, it's the Labor government that it is to blame.
"Let me be just put it very bluntly here. The former government set it up, the current government has stuffed it up, " he said.
"This whole process has been completely botched by the current Labor government."
The Basin Authority has agreed to hold a second public forum in the Lachlan Valley due to the level of concern about the recommended cuts on the river.
Criticism was levelled at the Authority by attendees at the Forbes meeting for a lack of consultation on the draft guide's proposals before it was released.
A forum will now be held in Hillston.
Mary Ewing from Lachlan Valley Water says it's a great win for farmers and irrigators downstream.
"Clearly there's a lot of concern in Hillston about the further proposed cuts to groundwater so I think that will be a good thing to answer some of those questions," she said.
Meantime, the five councils on the Lachlan River have agreed to take their concerns about the draft guide's proposals to the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
The mayors of the Forbes, Parkes, Cowra, Lachlan and Carrathool Shires say they're worried about groundwater in the valley and believe the catchment won't survive the recommended water cuts of up to 23 per cent.
The Mayor of Forbes, Phyllis Miller, says they'll do everything in their power to fight the reductions.
"I'm meeting with the mayors from the Lachlan after this meeting and we'll be doing our strategy on going forward and if it means going down to the Prime Minister that's where we'll be going."

Luxury Hospitality needs to evolve and adapt to new generation of luxury travelers
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Organised by Marcus Evans from 18-19 January, the two-day premium forum, Global Hospitality Summit, held in Dubai. Laurent A. Voivenel, CEO of HMH- Hospitality Management Holdings addressed a special presentation on 'Reshaping Luxury Hospitality to Welcome & Win Over New Generation of Guests' .
In his presentation, Laurent said, "People are moving away from the bling factor. A pillow menu, gold-plated bathroom fixtures and plush rooms will not be able to woo the next generation of the world's wealthiest clientele. Their expectations are different and much harder to please. The new generation has grown up in the age of technology, social media, instant access, the proliferation of global consumer brands, affluence and conspicuous consumption - hence they crave an alternative to traditional luxury hotels. Therefore, it is time for our industry to evolve and adapt".
According to Laurent intuitive technology designed to anticipate the needs and desires of guests will play a key role in delivering new levels of service. Technology is a huge priority for next generation travelers as it continues to change the rules of our industry like never before. Hotels will also have to know more about their customers. And concierge services will have to advance to new levels, delivering on the demands of guests long before they arrive. Most importantly people will continue to be the asset of luxury and therefore service and staff training will be more than ever critical for our industry".
"Over the past decade, the Middle East has established itself as the next frontier in luxury travel for the affluent. Marrying innovation with tradition, the region continues to grow as a top luxury destination with 44% of its existing inventory of hotels in luxury and upper upscale category. There are 694 hotels with 188,817 rooms in the Middle East and Africa development pipeline - majority of which will open before 2020. Therefore, when it comes to luxury everyone knows the stakes are huge. Like all hoteliers, we at HMH have been pondering over 'What will it take to lure new generation of luxury travelers?' given 40% of our existing inventory of hotels is in luxury segment."
The global luxury hospitality sector is valued at an estimated $164.4 billion and is expected to increase to $195.27 billion by 2021.Luxury travelers are growing at an unprecedented rate. By 2022, there will be 4,076 billionaires in the world. The number of super rich people – valued at more than $30m – in the Middle East will soar to more than 7,300, including 203 billionaires, by 2022.The number of HNWIs in the Middle East will grow by 58 percent between 2012 and 2022, faster than the global average of 50% but well behind the emerging economic regions of Asia (88%), Latin America (88%) and Africa (69%).

Obama has authorized the use of military force to punish Syria for a chemical weapons attack that killed more than a thousand people. Protracted and expensive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have left Americans reluctant to get involved in Middle Eastern conflicts. A poll showed that 80% Americans do not want the US to intervene in Syria. But Obama, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, wants war. He doesn't mind if hundreds of thousands of people get killed because of his WMD, weapons of mass destruction.
Noam Chomsky was asked, 'What do you think of the U.S. increased reliance—President Obama increasingly using drones to attack people in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and beyond?'
He answered: 'Good comment about that made by Yochi Dreazen. He's the military correspondent—was the military correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, is now for some other outfit, a military analyst. He pointed out accurately—this after the killing of Osama bin Laden, which he approved of, but he said that there's an interesting difference between Bush and Obama. I mean, I'm now paraphrasing in my own terms, not his terms, so the way I would have said it is: Bush—if Bush, the Bush administration, didn't like somebody, they'd kidnap them and send them to torture chambers; if the Obama administration decides they don't like somebody, they murder them, so you don't have to have torture chambers all over.
Actually, that tells us something else. Just take a look at the first Guantánamo detainee to go to trial under Obama. Trial means military commission, whatever that is. The first one was a very interesting case and tells us a lot. The first one was Omar Khadr. And what was his crime? His crime was that when he was 15 years old, he tried to defend his village against an attack by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. So that's the crime, therefore he's a terrorist. So he was sent to Bagram, then to Guantánamo, eight years in these torture chambers. And then he came up for trial under Obama. And he was given a choice: you can plead not guilty and stay in Guantánamo for the rest of your life, or you can plead guilty and get another eight years. So his lawyers advised him to plead guilty. Well, that's justice under our constitutional law president, for a 15-year-old kid defending his village against an attacking army. And there was nothing said—the worst part is, there's nothing said about it.
Actually, the same is true of the Awlaki killing, you know, this American cleric in Yemen who was killed by drones. He was killed. The guy next to him was killed. Shortly after, his son was killed. Now, there was a little talk about the fact that he was an American citizen: you shouldn't just murder American citizens. But, you know, the New York Times headline, for example, when he was killed, said something like "West celebrates death of radical cleric." First of all, it wasn't death, it was murder. And the West celebrates the murder of a suspect. He's a suspect, after all. There was something done almost 800 years ago called the Magna Carta, which is the foundation of Anglo-American law, that says that no one shall be subjected to a violation of rights without due process of law and a fair and speedy trial. It doesn't say, if you think somebody's a suspect, you should kill them.'
Taslima —
Today, I was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer:
I believe that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.
I hope you'll take a moment to watch the conversation, consider it, and weigh in yourself on behalf of marriage equality.
I've always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. I was reluctant to use the term marriage because of the very powerful traditions it evokes. And I thought civil union laws that conferred legal rights upon gay and lesbian couples were a solution.
But over the course of several years I've talked to friends and family about this. I've thought about members of my staff in long-term, committed, same-sex relationships who are raising kids together. Through our efforts to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, I've gotten to know some of the gay and lesbian troops who are serving our country with honor and distinction.
What I've come to realize is that for loving, same-sex couples, the denial of marriage equality means that, in their eyes and the eyes of their children, they are still considered less than full citizens.
Even at my own dinner table, when I look at Sasha and Malia, who have friends whose parents are same-sex couples, I know it wouldn't dawn on them that their friends' parents should be treated differently.
So I decided it was time to affirm my personal belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.
I respect the beliefs of others, and the right of religious institutions to act in accordance with their own doctrines. But I believe that in the eyes of the law, all Americans should be treated equally. And where states enact same-sex marriage, no federal act should invalidate them.
Thank you,

Stackpole extends sulfur impervious chip resistor family
Post a comment
Raleigh, N.C. Stackpole Electronics, Inc. has expanded its RMCG series of sulfur impervious chip resistors. The RMCG series is available in package sizes from 0402 to 2512, in tolerances as low as 1%, and now is available in resistance values from 1 ohm to 10 Megohm.
The resistance value range expansion will allow the application of the RMCG across a wider range of end products including power products, which typically use lower resistance values, and medical and measurement devices that typically require high resistance values, Stackpole said. Automotive and industrial light and heavy equipment may require this type of device as well as security and metering circuitry and equipment.
The RMCG series uses a gold barrier under the solderable 100% matte tin plating to protect the inner terminations and prevent any sulfur contamination. The RMCG series is 100% RoHS compliant and is available in standard 7-inch reels.
Pricing: Ranges from $20 per thousand for the 0402 chip size to $200 for the 2512 chip size, depending on size and tolerance.
Datasheet: RMCG series

The Next Best Thing To Bein' There!
I've never met Clint Smith in person. I've read a lot of his writing, but never shaken his hand. That said, I've spent several hours of informative, personal 1-on-1 time with him, reaping the benefits of his knowledge on subjects from defensive use of the revolver to fighting from and around a vehicle. We haven't had dialogues — it's been Clint talkin' and me listening — but that's okay, because I can listen to myself anytime! It's my dime, so I want to listen to him!
I'm not a gunsmith. Hey, I'm not even a decent gun mechanic! But you name the gun, and I can get a master gunsmith to patiently guide me through the process of stripping it right down to the frame, answering all my questions about how the plunger prods this pin and what the heck this widget whacks.
Paul Howe is an ex-cop and 20-year Army veteran, with ten of those years in Special Operations as a tactical team leader and senior instructor. I like his training style and content, but it's tough to get down to Nacogdoches, Texas for a session at his Combat Shooting and Tactics (CSAT) facility. No worries though, I've got the best of his expertise captured on some little round discs, and more available online. And I know he'll pardon me if I also spend time with Bill Rogers, the master of reactive pistol shooting, and the hard-core training team of Chris Costa and Travis Haley, a pair of real high-speed low-drag guys, if you'll forgive the term.

Swanville students, staff on edge at city skating rink
Belfast — Students from the Nickerson School in Swanville sharpened their skills on the ice during a field trip to the city skating rink in Belfast Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 4.
Students and staff from the second, third, fourth and fifth grade classes exhibited varying levels of skill on the ice, and throughout the hour-long outing, students spent their time gliding and spinning — with a few slips and spills in between.
Nickerson School Principal Abigail Hartford said the skating trip gets the students outside and active, and gives some the chance to try out a new outdoor sport.

text: Federer is considered by most the 2nd best player ever on grass courts (perhaps the greatest, considering he dominated Wimbledon to a much greater extent than Pete Sampras. As much as Federer's legacy has been defined by Wimbledon, does anyone else find it remarkable that Federer has reached the same number of semifinals at the French Open as he has at Wimbledon - 7. If he reaches the final this weekend, he will have reached only 1 more final at Wimbledon than the French Open. From 2003-2009 (7 years) at Wimbledon, Federer only lost to one player. From 2005-2011 (7 years) at the French Open, Federer only lost to two players.

NEWCASTLE UNITED have joined the growing number of clubs mulling over a move for Barnsley's hot midfield prospect Jacob Butterfield.
The 21-year-old, already the Tykes' captain, is one of the brightest prospects outside the Premier League and is now part of the England Under-21 set-up as well as being placed on stand-by for next summer's Olympics.
Butterfield's situation has become the subject of increased speculation because of his failure to agree a new contract at Oakwell, where they have been looking to tie him down to a long-term deal.
Loading article content
Come the summer, if his contract expires, any club wishing to acquire Butterfield would have to compensate Barnsley for the years he has been with their academy and predictions about his future worth, most likely through a tribunal.
Newcastle assistant manager John Carver watched him on Saturday when Barnsley defeated Leeds United 4-1 and Butterfield turned in another positive display in the Championship.
Barnsley are anticipating an offer or two will arrive on their table during this month's transfer window, knowing there could be an even greater number of clubs interested when his contract runs out in the summer.
Newcastle are pursuing a number of different avenues in the transfer market, but their priority during the next few weeks remains a new central defender.
Injuries and suspensions have caught Newcastle out in recent weeks and manager Alan Pardew is desperate to bring in a centre-back to compete with Mike Williamson and James Perch to partner Fabricio Coloccini in the absence of Steven Taylor.
There were further reports in France yesterday suggesting Montpellier's Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is the subject of ongoing interest from Tyneside. Arsenal, however, have emerged as genuine contenders for the 22-year-old's signature.
Bordeaux defender Michael Ciani insists he is determined to force his way back in to the Girondins' club's plans despite being considered by the Magpies.
The 27-year-old, who has not figured since November 19, said: "Why would I leave when I still have a year and a half left on my contract? My desire is to find my place in the starting line-up for Bordeaux again."
Given Ciani's lack of game time, it would also seem strange for Newcastle to target a player struggling to start in Ligue 1, but Pardew has an extensive list of defensive options to work on. He is, though, not looking at landing Blackburn's Chris Samba.
When Newcastle face Manchester United tomorrow at St James' Park it will not be defensively he has to worry. The Newcastle boss must work out a way of replacing the injured Gabriel Obertan on the wing.
Obertan could be out for a month with a toe injury and Sammy Ameobi is on stand-by to start, although the return from a three-match suspension of Dan Gosling provides an alternative.

Wings Of Change
Tours of the island can be arranged by private boat charter.
Galapagos Hawk at sunset, Santiago Island, Galapagos Islands
Working with the Ecuadorian Navy I camped for one week on Santiago Island conducting GPS observations. When not at base camp I spent my time exploring the island and hanging out with its' inhabitants. The concept of fear as learned behavior was really brought home to me as the only animals on the island that showed any sign of fear from my presence were the goats that were in the process of being eradicated because they are (were?) an invasive species. The most cordial of all the islands inhabitants was the hawk, who seemed to follow me all over the island and keep track of my activities!
