I recently glanced at the new issue of flex mag and there was an article with jay and dexter. the interviewer asked what came to mind with word analogies. One question to Jay was what he thought of WOLF. He answered "overated". I would just like to send a message upon hearing this because it just enfuriated me.
"Jay!, ur the most overated bodybuilder in the game"! You won the olympia last year when you clearly had the 3rd best body on stage!, But no, they give you the olympia title simply because you are jay cutler. Christmas came early fatso or blocky or Mr. Waterlog(which ever nickname you prefer). You better pray to the bodybuilding gods this year pal. Because Wolf crushed you last year. Yeah, he doesn't have as many career wins as you, but thats not what bodybuilding is. Bodybuilding is how you come in for one contest. That one contest happened to be the olympia last year and Wolf competed in two others that year. How many did you compete in? O yeah, thats right, just the olympia. And Wolf beat you then too.
Anyway, I suggest you cut a life size poster of youself from 2001 and tape that to your body otherwise keep your mouth shut. Becuase your not the king of bodybuilding. Your a marketable guy with weird hair that they gave the crown to.
I've said my peace.
O and b4 the jay lovrs try and dis me. I know my body will never be like jays. But I will never call someone who truly beat me overrated .

In a few pages, we will walk through the literature that demonstrates all of this beyond any doubt, showing that "publication bias"—the process whereby negative results go unpublished—is endemic throughout the whole of medicine and academia; and that regulators have failed to do anything about it, despite decades of data showing the size of the problem. But before we get to that research, I need you to feel its implications, so we need to think about why missing data matters.
Evidence is the only way we can possibly know if something works—or doesn't work—in medicine. We proceed by testing things, as cautiously as we can, in head-to-head trials, and gathering together all of the evidence. This last step is crucial: if I withhold half the data from you, it's very easy for me to convince you of something that isn't true. If I toss a coin a hundred times, for example, but only tell you about the results when it lands heads-up, I can convince you that this is a two-headed coin. But that doesn't mean I really do have a two-headed coin: it means I'm misleading you, and you're a fool for letting me get away with it. This is exactly the situation we tolerate in medicine, and always have. Researchers are free to do as many trials as they wish, and then choose which ones to publish.
The repercussions of this go way beyond simply misleading doctors about the benefits and harms of interventions for patients, and way beyond trials. Medical research isn't an abstract academic pursuit: it's about people, so every time we fail to publish a piece of research we expose real, living people to unnecessary, avoidable suffering.
In March 2006, six volunteers arrived at a London hospital to take place in a trial. It was the first time a new drug called TGN1412 had ever been given to humans, and they were paid £2,000 each. Within an hour these six men developed headaches, muscle aches, and a feeling of unease. Then things got worse: high temperatures, restlessness, periods of forgetting who and where they were. Soon they were shivering, flushed, their pulses racing, their blood pressure falling. Then, a cliff: one went into respiratory failure, the oxygen levels in his blood falling rapidly as his lungs filled with fluid. Nobody knew why. Another dropped his blood pressure to just 65/40, stopped breathing properly, and was rushed to an intensive care unit, knocked out, intubated, mechanically ventilated. Within a day all six were disastrously unwell: fluid on their lungs, struggling to breathe, their kidneys failing, their blood clotting uncontrollably throughout their bodies, and their white blood cells disappearing. Doctors threw everything they could at them: steroids, antihistamines, immune-system receptor blockers. All six were ventilated on intensive care. They stopped producing urine; they were all put on dialysis; their blood was replaced, first slowly, then rapidly; they needed plasma, red cells, platelets. The fevers continued. One developed pneumonia. And then the blood stopped getting to their peripheries. Their fingers and toes went flushed, then brown, then black, and then began to rot and die. With heroic effort, all escaped, at least, with their lives.
The Department of Health convened an Expert Scientific Group to try to understand what had happened, and from this two concerns were raised. First: can we stop things like this from happening again? It's plainly foolish, for example, to give a new experimental treatment to all six participants in a 'first-in-man' trial at the same time, if that treatment is a completely unknown quantity. New drugs should be given to participants in a staggered process, slowly, over a day. This idea received considerable attention from regulators and the media.
Less noted was a second concern: could we have foreseen this disaster? TGN1412 is a molecule that attaches to a receptor called CD28 on the white blood cells of the immune system. It was a new and experimental treatment, and it interfered with the immune system in ways that are poorly understood, and hard to model in animals (unlike, say, blood pressure, because immune systems are very variable between different species). But as the final report found, there was experience with a similar intervention: it had simply not been published. One researcher presented the inquiry with unpublished data on a study he had conducted in a single human subject a full ten years earlier, using an antibody that attached to the CD3, CD2 and CD28 receptors. The effects of this antibody had parallels with those of TGN1412, and the subject on whom it was tested had become unwell. But nobody could possibly have known that, because these results were never shared with the scientific community. They sat unpublished, unknown, when they could have helped save six men from a terrifying, destructive, avoidable ordeal.

"We decided to go someplace quiet for our anniversary trip. We just couldn't have done better!! We were there between holiday crowds and got to get intimately aquainted with Jenny and Scott. Helpful in everyway, when we asked for assintance. The breakfast was superior to any restuarant, truly home-cooked with personal touches. Bryan's Bar-B-Que was wonderful, as was the Chocolate Lava Almond Cake! We found it close enough to town and yet far enough out that we could sit on the porch in complete privacy, with coffee or wine. We had a cabin (23) that faced the sunrise, which was good, as we are early risers. Spotless and cozy, just like we like it! Andersons, Kerrville, Tx."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl.

"The Saints are not supermen, nor were they born perfect. They are like us, like each one of us. They are people who, before reaching the glory of heaven, lived normal lives with joys and sorrows, struggles and hopes. What changed their lives? When they recognized God's love, they followed it with all their heart without reserve or hypocrisy. They spent their lives serving others, they endured suffering and adversity without hatred and responded to evil with good, spreading joy and peace. This is the life of a Saint. Saints are people who for love of God did not put conditions on him in their life; they were not hypocrites; they spent their lives at the service of others. They suffered much adversity but without hate. The Saints never hated. Understand this well: love is of God, then from whom does hatred come? Hatred does not come from God but from the devil! And the Saints removed themselves from the devil; the Saints are men and women who have joy in their hearts and they spread it to others. Never hate but serve others, the most needy; pray and live in joy. This is the way of holiness! Being holy is not a privilege for the few, as if someone had a large inheritance; in Baptism we all have an inheritance to be able to become saints. Holiness is a vocation for everyone. Thus we are all called to walk on the path of holiness, and this path has a name and a face: the face of Jesus Christ."- Pope Francis, Angelus, 1 Nov 2013

There are three basic types of private medical insurance UK for those living in the UK, as well as schemes for people living and working abroad:
Bought by you for yourself and/or for your family.
If you work for yourself you can buy special cover or normal individual cover. You can cover a self-employed individual or partners in a partnership or directors of a limited company. You can include the family too. It is often treated as a legitimate business expense.
This is where cover is bought by companies or other large employers for employees and their families. The individual has little or no choice in what is offered, and it may be regarded as a taxable benefit Some companies and unions arrange a voluntary scheme. This is where you can buy a policy, often at discounted rate, with premium deducted from payroll. The downside is that you have no choice of provider and limited choice of cover. Some unions and other groups have arrangements where an insurer offers private medical insurance UK cover at a discounted rate, but individuals have to take out and pay for their own policy. There is often a choice of cover but not a choice of provider. If you have, or can access, a voluntary scheme, it is still worth checking out what is available to buy as an individual - not all group deals are good ones!
If you live or work abroad, even if you no longer have a permanent UK home, there is a wide range of international cover to choose from.

According to his economic modeling, the rough cost of capture will be $35 per ton of CO2, a figure that is at least half the cost of other capture methods, such as amine scrubbing. The cost of retrofitting an old coal plant with capture equipment, for example, could in theory run to more than $100 per ton.
With the potential sale of magnesium carbonate, the cost could flip into a net financial gain, said Mercier.
Some carbon capture experts are skeptical, however. Howard Herzog, a senior research engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said "it's hard to believe this could be a major breakthrough."
"It could be a niche market," he said.
The idea of forming carbonates has been examined before, and rejected by some because of the magnitude of rock that would be needed to capture CO2 at commercial scale, he said. It also is tricky to perfect the chemical reactions and ensure they move fast enough, he said.
If the reactions are not efficient, the cost would rise significantly, he said. Many high-emitting sources also may not have appropriate rock available to do similar work, according to Herzog.
"This is officially bollocks (baloney). There are always mass transfer and cost issues that overwhelm even pilot scale projects and the costs becomes exceedingly high quickly," added Julio Friedmann, a CCS expert at U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Will future research be funded?
Mercier acknowledged the difficulties but said he had tweaked the combinations of metals in his chemical reactor to address prior problems. He has been working for more than two and a half years on finding the right types of rocks with the right combination of minerals to react efficiently with emissions from burned fossil fuels, he said.
In a report last year, the Global CCS Institute found that technologies reusing captured CO2 could play a role in controlling emissions in some markets, even if their global potential for controlling the greenhouse gas is small.
Regardless of whether Mercier's test works, it signals Canada's importance with research on capturing CO2, considering global financial cutbacks in the energy industry, another U.S.-based analyst said. The country is building what could be the world's first large-scale, integrated demonstration of carbon capture and sequestration technology on an existing coal plant at SaskPower's Boundary Dam Power Station in Saskatchewan.
That project took a step forward yesterday with SaskPower's announcement of the signing of an agreement with oil giant Cenovus, which agreed to purchase all of the captured CO2 from Boundary Dam for use in enhanced oil recovery operations near Weyburn. SaskPower said the project -- which would capture and store one million tons of metric CO2 annually from a coal plant -- was on track to become operational in April 2014.
Similarly, Canada has been aggressive in funding research like Mercier's and carbon capture research on oil sands operations via national funds and a $2 billion money pot from Alberta, said the analyst. Mercier's grant came as part of a $3.75 million distribution last month from Carbon Management Canada on various carbon control technologies.
The bulk of global carbon capture funding, though, came several years ago, when national climate change legislation was in play in both the United States and Canada. The $2 billion pot in Alberta is funding several commercial-scale projects that are close to construction, but no similar scale of money has come forth since then.

Letting Shelby County control ALL public education in both Memphis and Shelby County makes perfect sense, except for those who are determined to keep Memphis children separate from their own children. In my opinion, at the root of that is racism, pure and simple. Keeping the two districts separate with frozen boundaries is not a solution. Breaking up into multiple smaller districts is also not a solution. The reason is that both those proposals leave the children of Memphis trapped in the Memphis City Schools, most of them with no way out, since their parents lack the funds to move outside the MCS district. A solution must do something to help the children inside Memphis, not just the ones who live outside. We need a comprehensive solution, and if the Memphis City Schools are allowed to continue with the same district boundaries, the same administration and less funding (or the same funding through increased property taxes), things will only get worse for the children unfortunate enough to live within those district boundaries. The careless attitude with which county residents seem to dismiss those children as "getting what they deserve" is sickening to anyone with a heart, or anyone that wants our metropolitan region to progress. If we sow the seeds of compulsory ignorance in Memphis now, we will reap a whirlwind later in the form of crime.

We're approaching a marking -- one year since the US led raid that killed Osama bin Laden in a federal judge has just blocked the conservative group's request for the release of more photos of video from that operation.
Of course the feds did release some images from inside the terror leader's compound including this picture it was -- -- watching the television box there.
Judicial watch filed a lawsuit but the Justice Department argued that the images of Osama is dead body or classified a federal judge agreed.
And Catherine Herridge is covering the story from Washington today this conservative bunch expect to could appeal this thing or what's the plan that we don't.
Well that's for the president judicial watch kept telling Fox News that they have already appealed the decision in this 29 page -- the federal judge wrote quote.
A pitcher may be worth a thousand words in perhaps moving pictures -- an even higher value.
Get in this case verbal descriptions of the death and burial of Osama bin Laden we'll have to suffice for this court will not ordered the release of anything more.
CIA and Defense Department officials including the admiral who oversaw the raid told the court -- releasing more images could incite violence against US forces.
Judicial watch maintained that they never sought to identify the seals or compromise their methods claiming there is no provision under the law to keep the documents secret.
We think the -- wrong and we obviously think the Obama administration's wrong.
You know frankly if the Obama administration was so concerned about bin Laden's killing offending the terrorists why I think making it a centerpiece of their campaign.
So the bottom line here with the appeal is that we could be looking at this trekking on through the second anniversary show.
And for the first time we're seeing a memo that got the ball rolling on that operation right.
Wasn't just today we obtain this handwritten memo by then CIA director Leon Panetta after got the go ahead for the raid from the White House.
This is the piece of Paper and the writing has been described his -- because I chicken scratch rather.
The letter that started they raid that killed bin Laden it's dated April 26 of 2011.
And it says there was a phone call from the White House saying the president had made the decision on AC one that was the acronym for be -- bot -- -- compound.
The direction was to go in there to get the -- and if he was not there.
To get out this memo first was carried by time magazine and they reported that then Defense Secretary Gates and the vice president had reservations about the operation -- And airs live -- Katherine thanks with a -- a former CIA Covert operations.
Officer Mike Bair.
-- -- -- -- -- He is the president of global intelligence security from.
Confirmed diligence LLC certainly good news -- -- answered anything what is it that I'll answer to anything mental I know the feeling that -- a so I don't know al-Qaeda doesn't do much anymore than any -- or made any tips in the United States -- long long long time right.
Well still that it is still -- we have week in them significantly.
It's it's a little confusing when that Justice Department argues that -- -- death photos are are classified.
Essentially today guy and I've got some holes and he will incite others to violence it will inflame them to some degree but I think there's another argument here you can say there's no need to release them because.
It's already confirmed that he is dead everyone has acknowledge that including al-Qaeda.
Releasing a death photo you can imagine today society when you get went up -- his picture on T shirts we'll end up with cartoons on YouTube.
It's just not necessary and it seems like it's being done for prurient interest frankly what -- is it political interest often when certain.
We have a right regrettable -- -- you know I mean -- of democratic presidents the report.
It's conservative group I mean I wondered if if who was political you could even argue well that did it again the Obama administration trying to make some hay out of this or.
We're beating the -- and a leading up to the election saying look this is one of the -- the key you know things we've done.
So maybe they would be arguing in favor but they're not they're saying we don't want these things with I think it's right not to release -- might I'd I'd be hard pressed to argue their classified.
-- -- -- Bin Laden is wives and and all the kids.
Just got with a -- trip days went on a trip to Saudi Arabia where they will live as a family the saudis thought they should live and these saudis.
They're all tight with a royal family over there all of lot of people on board the planes were saudis I mean it's Saudi Saudi Saudi and yet we're all buddy buddy with a with what what right.
There's a long history of the bin Laden family in in Saudi Arabia we have to remember that bin Laden's father that's where he made his fortune.
Using construction and a variety of other companies -- an early early days of the kingdom.
Bin Laden's father was instrumental in helping build the infrastructure that country so there is a long history there and -- a great portion of that bin Laden family that -- had nothing to do wanted nothing to do.
-- with the Osama bin Laden.
So the ideally they legacy lives well lived with him obviously as -- well -- that's going to go up there to be all protected now but you -- -- -- there are have this Stanley there under the control the Saudi -- because we still do it's dysfunctional relationship times but we have a good relationship with the saudis.
One -- we have a good and dysfunctional relationship with the saudis and outstanding is its definition of marriage is going to grade it today it is going to donate a second start about the facts everything's wonderful Mike Baker Trixie you -- see you -- thank you.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn's search for a new football coach may be focused on three former assistants at the school who, at least through their representatives, have not cut off potential communication with the university.
Auburn continues to gauge the interest of former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher and Arkansas State coach Gus Malzahn.
Also, TCU coach Gary Patterson remains a player in the search.

Hi Jeff, I have a ' 66 Fender Bassman AB165 with the 2x12 cabinet that just isn't getting me there. Not enough high end, and I really need that famous Fender sparkle and shimmer. Unfortunately, when I look to trade it in at a music store, they can't even get me all the way to a silverface Princeton.
Money is an issue. Of course, modding is an option, but I'm concerned that if I'm not happy with the basic tone now, I never will be. I tried taking the back off the cabinet to open it up, but that didn't really help. Should I try changing to such an extent that it's something entirely different? On the other hand, I can't afford a boutique-quality, handwired amp any other way. I have this amp because a friend helped me out by selling it cheap. I play blues and rock, nothing heavy. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi Shawn, Well, you certainly have a nice blackface-era amp there, and the fact that your friend was nice enough to give it to you at an affordable price makes it even cooler! However, I understand your frustration with the amp. While the Bassman was designed for amplifying a bass guitar, most players today use them for guitar, since these amps are able to get a nice overdriven tone at a somewhat useable volume. Many guitarists play their 4Ω Bassman heads into a 16Ω 4x12 cabinet, thereby reducing the available clean output power and enabling smooth, creamy overdrive at a substantially lower
level. Unfortunately, this sounds like what you're not looking to achieve. But I believe we can help you turn the amp into something you'll be much happier with. Let's start by examining the amp's front end.
The Bassman has two channels—the Bass instrument and Normal. The Bass channel is substantially different from the typical front end of any Fender blackface or silverface guitar amp, so we will leave this channel alone. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll invite a bass-play-ing friend over for a low-volume jam, and you'll actually use the amp the way it was originally designed: Amplifying one bass plus one guitar—a completely acceptable idea at the time.
Moving on to the Normal channel, the circuit and values are identical to the inputs of most blackface or silverface amps, so nothing really needs to be done here. One option you have, however, would be to have a midrange control installed. Simply substitute a 10k—or even a 25k—pot in place of the 6.8k fixed resistor at the bottom of the tone stack. This can easily be mounted in the No. 2 input of the channel without any modification to the chassis. I recommend your tech install a new single jack and remove the dual-jack assembly as a pair so you can reinstall them as a pair if you wish to return the amp to stock.
Now let's move to the mixer circuit and the output stage. Though your amp is a blackface, the AB165 circuit is a transitional unit. Although it was made just a short time after the point CBS acquired Fender—and prior to the silverface-era Fender amps— the new group of engineers had started to "improve" the designs of a few amps, this being one of them. Removing some of these "improvements" should yield you a Bassman much closer to the sound and feel you expect from a traditional Fender amp. These simple changes can easily be reversed if you wish to put the amp back to stock condition.
Let's start with the first stage of the Normal input. There should be a 500 pF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the 100k plate resistor connected to the plate (pin 1) of V3. (Note: this capacitor shows up on the AB165 layout diagram, but not on the schematic. As I said, it was a transitional time at Fender.) Removing this cap will put a bit more sparkle in the amp's top end, (See photo 1.)
Next, we'll move on to themixer circuit where the Normaland Bass channels are com-bined and amplified one moretime prior to the phase inverter(driver) circuit. Here we find a470k resistor connected fromthe plate (pin 1) of V2 to theinput grid capacitor. This resis-tor induces negative feedbackin this circuit and gives it abit of compression. On thesurface, this has the potentialto be a good thing in someinstances, but I feel that whenthe volume is turned up, theresult is fairly non-musical.Removing this resistor willopen the amp up a bit, againimproving its response andsparkle, and making the wholeamp more musical when it'spushed. (See photo 2.)

2010, and he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You know why people never refer to the "3rd Amendment"- the right not to quarter soldiers in your homes. because that amendment was a reflection of the times. It was in written to address the Quartering Act passed by Parliament before the Revolution. It has no relevance today, but over 200 years ago, it was a major issue.
When the 2nd Amendment was written, the United States had just fought a war in which colonial militias were needed to fight against an opposing army. The threat of another British invasion and other countries always loomed. Some people will argue that the 2nd Amendment was written to overthrow a tyrannical government if necessary. I laugh at that argument.
The 2nd was a reflection of the times, where there was no standing professional army, no national or state guard. The country needed "minuteman" able to fight immediately.
I'm in favor of protecting your home, but not with the military grade weapons being sold under the illusion of protection by the 2nd amendment.
Your so simple minded.

Skype installs fine (I used sudo apt-get install skype), and I could type text messages with my friends in skype,but I could not make any video calls (my webcam logitech c270 is fine---it works great with guvcview). I can't even make the test call to the skype echo service...it just says "call failed".
I removed and reinstalled skype (sudo apt-get remove skype) and the same thing kept happening. What is going on?
[UPDATE] So even though the Skype test call service fails....actual calls with other people work fine. So no complaints--its not like I wanted to have a conversation with the robot anyways.

5ft King Size Bed Divans at Archers Sleepcentre
We show an extensive collection of king size divan beds. These range from a great value Silentnight divan to a top of the range Kaymed bed and mattress. A 5ft divan is a luxury item for the master bedroom and choosing the right one is an important decision.
Whether it's picking your spring system, or your ideal depth of memory foam, there are lots of variations on offer at our UK stores. Cheap kingsize divan beds are still available though, and if you are already happy with your mattress, consider buying a king size divan base on its own.
The divan base we sell comes from Highgrove, an established UK manufacturer that centres on value for money products. Their bases still have the options for 2 or 4 drawers and have a stunning suede finish to match the silver glide feet.
If you are looking for a cheap kingsize bed, consider some of our pocket sprung divans. With 2 free pull out drawers, these low cost beds are beautifully upholstered in a hand tufted damask cover. The extra storage space wont go amiss either and some of the beds are even available with 4 free drawers.
The mattress is the most important factor in guaranteeing you that comfortable night's sleep. We stock divans which use a variety of different concepts to provide you with the optimum level of support. Open spring units, pocket spring systems and memory foam layers distinguish the divans so that everyone can find their dream bed.
For a top name brand with great value, consider our Sealy and Silentnight range of 5 ft divans. The manufacturers employ a range of spring technologies, which can then accommodate the individual needs of customers. Silentnight promote a mattress design with no edge guard and multiple zones of support.
This creates a larger sleeping surface and provides unique comfort for different areas of your body. Another perk to their products is the introduction of airflow layers to stop your body overheating during the night. A king size divan from Silentnight is a reliable product from a trustworthy brand name. This added security makes their king size divan beds extremely popular, along with the revolutionary technology of course.
Sealy manufacture a series of top quality kingsize divan beds. By incorporating visco elastic memory foam into their already reputable spring systems, the divans are well made and superb value for money. Memory foam moulds to your body contours because of its heat sensitivity, cradling you in the mattress and eliminating pressure zones. This improves bloods circulation and reduces tossing and turning during the night- all leading to a great night's sleep.
If you are looking for the highest quality then look no further than a Kaymed, the world's leading memory foam mattress specialists. With the highest density memory foam and the largest number of pocket springs, Kaymed produce superior quality divans for us to retail to you at the best prices.
Although king size divans are sold without a headboard, there are lots to choose from at Archers. Traditional, authentic or contemporary; take your pick and match it with your dream kingsize divan bed today.

Spinach, Feta and Artichoke Dip
Author Notes: My Mom has made a straight forward hot artichoke dip for years that is fabulous, absolutely addictive. For many though, with gads of mayo and cheese, it's a bit much. I took her inspiration and tweaked it a bit to lower the fat level (though its hardly low-calorie), and to amp the flavors by building on the ingredient list, adding lemon for brightness, spinach for some color, sour cream and feta for their tang, and the pine nuts for their earthy crunch. I had someone almost kill me for this recipe at New Years. - Oui, Chef - Oui, Chef
Food52 Review: Hot gooey spinach artichoke dip is always going to be a crowd pleaser, but Oui, Chef's version has some extra reasons to love it. The lovely tang of the lemon brings out the brightness of the artichokes to give this dip a light feeling that you don't often encounter in artichoke dip. It tastes fresh, instead of heavy. This is complemented by the Mediterranean notes from the briny feta and pine nuts. I made this dip for a party this weekend and it disappeared amidst a flurry of compliments. Very tasty! - fiveandspice
Serves 8-10
- 1 6 oz. can of artichoke hearts in water, drained, thinly sliced and patted dry
- 1 10 oz. package of frozen spinach, thawed, chopped and wrung dry in a clean kitchen towel
- 3/4 cups finely grated fresh parmigiano-reggiano
- 3/4 cups mayonnaise
- 3/4 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Place your oven rack in the center position and pre-heat the oven to 425 ℉.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, the pine nuts, black pepper, salt, and 1/2 cup of the parmigiano cheese.
- Rub the inside of a small baking dish with the crushed garlic, then discard the clove. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread top an even thickness, sprinkle the top with the remained 1/4 cup of parmigiano and the crumbled feta.
- Bake until the top browns and the dip heats through, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with pita chips, or the crackers of your choice.

I made this last weekend and it was just lovely. I used the leftovers to stuff some chicken breasts, which I had pounded quite thin, and it was also very tasty. In the future, I would probably leave out the pine nuts... in my opinion, they didn't add much flavor, but they increased the cost. Thanks for a great recipe!

Wyoming, Mich., is the state's 16th largest community. Home to around 72,900 people, Wyoming's growing diversity is helping the city to transform from a large suburb to an even larger urban community. Those searching for Wyoming apartments for rent will admire the city's growth and development. Wyoming's history is important to its residents and visitors. Although it was incorporated as a city in 1959, it existed as a township long before. Today, Wyoming's booming population has given the city an urban reputation. However, its layout remains spacious, with single-family homes, apartment complexes and commercial businesses dotting its suburban skyline. Because of its nontraditional growth, the city lacked a downtown center for years. Wyoming's Downtown Development Authority was formed in 1999, in order to help create development in Wyoming's town center.
Residents of Wyoming apartments for rent are proud of their town's convenient shopping offerings and amenities. The Downtown Development Authority has developed a strategy for promoting "Classic Convenience," which incorporates the ideas of mixed-use planning into a modern suburban culture. Malls, highways and convenient access to goods and services are just some of the benefits of living in Wyoming. RiverTown Crossings Mall offers local shopping options, while Woodland Mall and Breton Village Shopping Center are located just a few miles north in Grand Rapids. Those searching for Wyoming apartments for rent would be wise to brush up on the city's history. Residents take pride in their heritage, and founded a Wyoming Historical Commission to boot.
Wyoming enjoys close proximity to Lake Michigan's beautiful beaches. Just 39 miles from the coastline, this state offers residents of Wyoming apartments a perfect location from which to enjoy all that Lake Michigan has to offer.
You won't have to travel too far from home to get all the amenities you need in Wyoming. While you're looking for Wyoming apartments for rent, you'll soon find that the city has a very low cost of living and lots of area attractions. AreaVibes gives Wyoming an "A+" for the area's cost of living, with numbers stating that costs here are 11.2 percent less than the national average. You'll find great deals when you start your apartment search, too, with AreaVibes reporting that median rental rates are 14 percent less than the national average.
Although Wyoming doesn't have any traditional universities within its borders, Grace Bible College is located in the city. If you want to research nearby colleges while you begin to search for apartments for rent in Wyoming, Calvin College, Davenport University and Grand Valley State University are located within 10 miles of Wyoming. Many residents commute to nearby Grand Rapids for work; however, a fair number of Wyoming residents live and work within the city limits. According to the city's 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Metro Health Hospital, Gordon Food Service, UPS, Michigan Turkey Products Co-op, Benteler Industries and Delphi are Wyoming's top employers.

The place was very clean and well kept and truly kid-friendly but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. My favorite part was the fire truck with the video traveling down the streets of Tampa. The news station was lots of fun too.

This is a great museum for children of all ages. Lot's of hands on activities and exhibits. You have to try the deprivation tunnel, it really shows you what it is like to try and find your way around in the dark.
It's been a little while since my family last visited Great Ex. When my son wanted a birthday party there I didn't hesitate. I booked the party with just a couple weeks' notice. The staff were accommodating to my delay in planning. It was a smooth and easy process. We hosted several families with children ranging in age from 18... More
We took our Grandson and he had a blast. There are many hands on exhibits and experiments for the children and the climbing exercise they get is a welcome respite for the Grand-parents! Highly recommended.
Have visited often, my 6 year old grandson gets very bored after about 45 minutes, 4 year old grandaughter can enjoy the museum for three hours.
What a difference a year makes! This Children's Museum was much improved in Feb of 2012, but in March of 2013 it seems like a whole new museum. Our 14 month old grandson loved the indoor beach with rubber sand! This is now the best place for 1-10 year olds in St.Pete.
Cute, easy park, twenty bucks for two and they gave me free pass for next day when heard we were from Europe and we got chatting, so we went back as next day was rainy. Plenty for kids under 8. Our son did three hours . Would return. The gardens next door are worth seeing and same car park
We went with a group of friends with kids aged from 18 months to 4 years old. Every kid loved it! It wasn't overly crowded and there was a lot of space for the kids to move from one section to the other.
My kids are 3 and 4 and they had a great time while they were there. The museum was under construction so it was a little on the small side. We spent about four hours at the museum and the kids were engaged the whole time. The activities were great and the museum was clean and well kept. On a... More
We went to the museum on a rainy day while on vacation in St. Peter'sburg. The second floor is currently under construction so it's just the first floor that is open, which I found to be most attractive for children under age 7. My 4 and 6 year olds had a blast. We were there for 3 hours and I... More

LOVEFiLM Review

Andrew Garfield breathes new life into this comic-book franchise, but it's still an overly familiar story.

Superior to the other Spiderman films
By tez4444 (1 review) from Farnborough , 04 Jul 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I think this reboot is far superior to the Sam Raimi take on Spiderman. For one thing Andrew Garfield IS spiderman. Its how Spiderman is in the comics. The sarcasm Spiderman has is all there, and although its different in some ways to the canon Spiderman origin its still a really great film. Although not a contender against Avengers or the Dark Knight Rises. Sequels will have greater potential though.
As a fan of the comics the directors should atleast try to keep to the characters. Spiderman without wit isnt Spiderman. I'm so glad they did reboot Spiderman. Why on earth do critics seem to think Sam Raimis take on Spiderman is any good? The films are full of flaws, the chinese girls rendition of spiderman theme anyone? I was hoping that Sam Raimi would capture the fun banter between Venom and Spidey. That proved to be a horrific dissapointment. Tobey Maguire is geek in a suit. No fun banter from the Spiderman we all know and love. Watching the Spiderman films and comparing them to the reboot is just painful.
This is a great film to all those that have lost faith in the Spiderman franchise. Well done Mark Webb! Now lets hope you can be bold enough to implement Carnage as the main villian in a future film. Cos that done right would be on level pegging with Avengers.- Was this review helpful to you?

(234)Not-So Amazing After All
By MDG_78 (6 reviews) , 26 Nov 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Okay, average, nothing special absolutely AMAZED that some people think this is better than Raimi and Maguire's version but there you go. Made me laugh someone above said Maguire was too geeky for Peter Parker, really? Hmm I think you don't really know the character that well. Anyway, Garfield is decent enough but found him to be slightly annoying and way too urban with his skateboard and everything but some of the action is good. Stone is very nice to watch and gives a good performance although their romance feels rushed. Ifans was decent too but no Alfred Molina, superb in Spider-Man 2. If I'd never seen the original's I reckon I would've added on a star but as it is 3/5 and hope for better from the sequel.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Kela23 (640 reviews) , 13 Nov 2013Having seen the original film with Toby Maguire was not sure I would like this but I actually preferred this film. Thought Andrew Garfield was perfect as Peter Parker. It was fast paced, Special effects were top quality and great chemistry between Andrew and Emma Stone.

By MadRatter (3 reviews) , 08 Nov 2013A brilliant remake. The first films I hated and couldn't watch all the way through. This film for me is more true to the comics. Unlike the others that went too Hollywood on me. I admit there are improvements needed- Was this review helpful to you?

Pre-teen and Adolescent ImmunizationsWhy do Pre-teens and Adolescents Need Immunizations?The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that pre-teens get several vaccines at their 11 or 12-year old check-up.
Whooping cough is highly contagious with prolonged cough. If it is transmitted to infants, it may be life-threatening. Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) is an improvement to the old Td booster because it adds protection from whooping cough while still maintaining protection from tetanus and diphtheria. For school requirements, click here. For college requirements, click here.
Meningococcal meningitis is a very serious infection of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. It can cause death. Meningococcal bloodstream infection can cause loss of an arm or leg and even death. Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) protects against these infections. For school requirements, click here. For college requirements, click here.
HPV is a common virus. HPV is most common in people in their teens and early 20s. It is the major cause of cervical cancer in women. HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that most commonly cause cervical cancer and genital warts.

The Andersonville National Historic Site held their annual Civil War Living History event over the weekend.
This site played a huge role during the Civil War; it was a prison to an overwhelming number of Union soldiers. Historians re-enact the day to day lives and struggles of the prisoners in hopes of teaching others all about this point in history.
Chris Barr, one of the park rangers who was playing the role of a prison guard this weekend, says it's important to learn about the events that took place here because he believes if we don't learn about the past, we could be doomed to repeat it.
Another participant in the re-enactment William Summe, is a direct descendant of George Wiser, who was a volunteer soldier from New Jersey in the Civil War and was actually at Andersonville Prison for a while. Summe says by actually putting himself in his ancestor's shoes, he has really learned what it was like to live and be a prisoner of war during that time.

Gloucestershire (i/ˈɡlɒstəʃə/ GLOSS-tə-shə; abbreviated Glos.) is a county in South West England. The county comprises part of the Cotswold Hills, part of the flat fertile valley of the River Severn, and the entire Forest of Dean.
The county town is the city of Gloucester, and other principal towns include Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stroud, and Tewkesbury.
When considered as a ceremonial county, Gloucestershire borders the preserved county of Gwent in Wales (now Monmouthshire) to the west, and in England the ceremonial counties of Herefordshire to the north west, Worcestershire to the north, Warwickshire to the north east, Oxfordshire to the east, Wiltshire to the south and Bristol and Somerset to the south west. Ceremonially, it includes the area covered by the South Gloucestershire unitary authority.
According to a 2002 campaign by the charity Plantlife, the county flower of Gloucestershire is the Wild Daffodil.[1]
Gloucestershire is a historic county mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the 10th century, though the areas of Winchcombe and the Forest of Dean were not added until the late 11th century. Gloucestershire originally included Bristol, then a small town. The "local" rural community moved to the port city, (as Bristol was to become) and Bristol's population growth accelerated during the industrial revolution. Bristol became a county in its own right, separate from Gloucestershire and Somerset in 1373. It later became part of the administrative County of Avon from 1974-1996.
Upon the abolition of Avon in 1996, the region north of Bristol became a unitary authority area of South Gloucestershire and is now part of the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire.
The official former postal county abbreviation was "Glos.", rather than the frequently used but erroneous "Gloucs." or "Glouc.".
In July 2007, Gloucestershire suffered the worst flooding in recorded British history, with tens of thousands of residents affected. The RAF conducted the largest peace time domestic operation in its history to rescue over 120 residents from flood affected areas. The damage was estimated at over £2 billion.[2]
The county recovered rapidly from the disaster, investing in attracting tourists to visit the many sites and diverse range of shops in the area.
This is a chart of trend of regional gross value added of Gloucestershire at current basic prices published (pp. 240–253) by Office for National Statistics with figures in millions of British Pounds Sterling.
Year | Regional Gross Value Added[3] | Agriculture[4] | Industry[5] | Services[6] |
1995 | 5,771 | 196 | 1,877 | 3,698 |
2000 | 8,163 | 148 | 2,677 | 5,338 |
2003 | 10,617 | 166 | 2,933 | 7,517 |
Secondary schools[edit]
Gloucestershire has mainly comprehensive schools with seven selective schools; two are in Stroud (Stroud High School for girls and Marling School for boys), one in Cheltenham (Pate's Grammar) and four in Gloucester (Sir Thomas Rich's and The Crypt for boys and The High School and Ribston Hall for girls). There are 42 state secondary schools, not including sixth form colleges, and 12 independent schools, including the renowned Cheltenham Ladies' College, Cheltenham College, Wycliffe College (Gloucestershire), and Dean Close School. All but about two schools in each district have a sixth form, but the Forest of Dean only has two schools with sixth forms. All schools in South Gloucestershire have sixth forms.
Higher and further education[edit]
Gloucestershire has two universities, the University of Gloucestershire and the Royal Agricultural University, and four higher and further education colleges, Gloucestershire College, Cirencester College, South Gloucestershire and Stroud College and the Royal Forest of Dean College. Each has campuses at multiple locations throughout the county.
Towns and cities[edit]
Gloucestershire has 1 city and 32 towns:
The towns in Gloucestershire are:
- Berkeley
- Cheltenham
- Chipping Campden
- Cinderford
- Cirencester
- Coleford

Towns in South Gloucestershire (historically part of Gloucestershire) are:
Town in Monmouthshire with suburbs in Gloucestershire:
There are a variety of religious buildings across the county, notably the cathedral of Gloucester, the abbey church of Tewkesbury, and the church of Cirencester. Of the abbey of Hailes near Winchcombe, founded by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, in 1246, little more than the foundations are left, but these have been excavated and fragments have been brought to light.
Most of the old market towns have parish churches. At Deerhurst near Tewkesbury, and Bishop's Cleeve near Cheltenham, there are churches of special interest on account of the pre-Norman work they retain. There is also a Perpendicular church in Lechlade, and that at Fairford was built (c. 1500), according to tradition, to contain a series of stained-glass windows which are said to have been brought from the Netherlands. These are, however, adjudged to be of English workmanship.
Other notable buildings include Calcot Barn in Calcot, a relic of Kingswood Abbey. Thornbury Castle is a Tudor country house, the pretensions of which evoked the jealousy of Cardinal Wolsey against its builder, Edward Stafford, duke of Buckingham, who was beheaded in 1521. Near Cheltenham is the 15th-century mansion of Southam de la Bere, of timber and stone.[citation needed] Memorials of the de la Bere family appear in the church at Cleeve. The mansion contains a tiled floor from Hailes Abbey. At Great Badminton is the mansion and vast domain of the Beauforts (formerly of the Botelers and others), on the south-eastern boundary of the county.
There are several royal residences in Gloucestershire, including Highgrove House, Gatcombe Park, and (formerly) Nether Lypiatt Manor.
An annual "cheese-rolling" event takes place at Cooper's Hill, near Brockworth and the Cotswold Games occurred within the county.

The two daily papers, along with free weeklies The Forester, Stroud Life, The Gloucester News and The Cheltenham and Tewkesbury News, are all published by Northcliffe Media.[7] The Stroud News & Journal is a weekly paid-for newspaper based in Stroud. It is published in a tabloid format by Newsquest. Newsquest also produces the weekly Wilts and Glos Standard newspaper, which covers the southern and eastern parts of the county.
Radio stations in Gloucestershire include BBC Radio Gloucestershire and Heart Gloucestershire, and The Breeze (Cheltenham & North Gloucestershire). There are also several community radio stations including Gloucester FM, Radio Winchcombe, Forest of Dean Radio, and North Cotswold Community Radio.
In popular culture[edit]
There are two well-known accounts of childhood in rural Gloucestershire in the early 20th century, Laurie Lee's Cider With Rosie and Winifred Foley's A Child in the Forest. Part of Mrs. Craik's novel John Halifax, Gentleman is set in Enderley, a thinly disguised Amberley, where she lived at the time of writing.[8] Most of the book is set in Nortonbury, easily recognisable as Tewkesbury.
The county has also been the setting for a number of high profile movies and TV series, including Die Another Day, Harry Potter and BBC TV series Butterflies.[9] The film Hot Fuzz was set in Gloucestershire where Simon Pegg, who co-wrote and starred in the film, grew up.
"A Girl's Best Friend", the pilot for the proposed Doctor Who spin-off, K-9 and Company, was filmed in Gloucestershire.[10] The setting is the fictional town of Moreton Harwood.[11]
The fictional town of Leadworth in Doctor Who is located in Gloucestershire.[12] It is the home of companions Amy Pond, Rory Williams, and River Song in their childhoods and young adulthoods.[13]
The famous Gloucestershire Old Spots pig hails from Gloucestershire and likewise sheep have a right to roam in the Forest of Dean. The Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley also have Wild Boar.
