DanNeely - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkThat's intriguing. What's the 3rd expansion slot for though? One of the handful of 3 slot cooler GPUs that have shown up or something else? Reply
WhiteAdam - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkLove my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online. (Home more information)

chang3d - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkI've been following that NCase for a while now. I love its design and compactness.
Assuming that Dustin will review it, I will guess that he will not like it too. The designer Necere himself did several temperature & noice benchmarks. And they are high. In fact, he doesn't even recommend watercooling the GPU with the H220 due to the fans have a lack of airflow. It is recommended to use a video card with a blower style cooler.
If you are watercooling, only use the 120mm radiator kits. The case needs the other fan slot. So you'd be better off with a nice air cooler from Noctua, etc.
Based on that, Dustin will have the same complaint here. And most likely another complaint because it's so small and tight.
P.S. I will get an NCase. I'm not hating on it. I'm just saying Dustin likely will. Reply
meacupla - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkSo, basically, too big for a compact mITX case, but too small for anything you'd want to put in a larger mITX case.
Or, more succinctly, mediocre. Especially with the likes of APU and Haswell and their improved graphics that don't require the extra space.
If only antec would give an updated version of their ISK310... Reply
epoon2 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkAntec is probably scared off from post PC era and abandoned their case position. Reply
thesavvymage - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkhonest question: what else does Antec even make? Seems to me they only make power supplies and cases... if they dont continue to innovate in cases because they are scared of a post pc era, what else would they even do to survive? Reply
epoon2 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkThis case looks like targeting to address small, low power usage customers. The heat/thermo tradeoff does not concern me... Reply
Travis² - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkHey Dustin,
Great review!
I would really like to see all the benchmarks re-run with the sides off.
I could see myself (and other people) bringing it to LAN-party's all buttoned up but taking the sides off once the gaming begins.
I imagine that the noise would increase but it might the increased airflow might make using a more powerful CPU/GPU combo possible.

1d107 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkSeems very similar to PC-Q11. That one is larger, but it takes full-sized power supply, full-sized optical drive, has 140mm fan and mounts for 2x3.5" and 2x2.5" disk drives.
Lian-Li has two new cases: PC-Q27 and PC-Q28. Would be nice to get reviews for them.
Overall though it seems that Lian-Li has a few well-designed modules and then tries to throw them together in different combinations. Unfortunately, the success rate is very low. PC-Q11 was a nice exception, if you disregarded tiny side panel screws and lack of internal USB 3 connector. Reply
Alan G - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - link"Lian-Li has two new cases: PC-Q27 and PC-Q28. Would be nice to get reviews for them."
I'm considering the PC-Q27 for an office computer for my wife. I'll use an i3 chip with integrated graphics so it will not have a cumbersome GPU (which she wouldn't need). Concern is about passive cooling since the case doesn't have a fan. Reply
Grok42 - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkBe sure to checkout the PC-Q25 as well. It's $20 off right now and only $99. Reply
Chriz - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkI miss the Lian Li of old, when they had nice features like slide out motherboard trays and the cases were made out of stronger aluminum. They are concentrating too much on making their cases lightweight and visually different, which is sacrificing quality and features. Their innovations of late may look "cool" to some people, but hardly have any functional value. They really need to learn from Fractal Design and Silverstone. Reply
Memristor - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkThey have smaller cases too which are of excellent quality like the PC-Q12 or even smaller PC-Q05. Reply

lwatcdr - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkDustin it would be cool if you would include links to the cases that you compair it. I assume that all of those have been reviewed here so links to those would be ideal. Reply
stlouis1 - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkThe moment I looked at the pictures and saw where the PSU was mounted I stopped reading and looked at the temp/noise charts. I don't know how Dustin was even bothered to finish reviewing the case from that point. I don't understand how an engineer in the year 2013 re-use a psu mounting design that failed already a decade ago. I thought we had stopped mounting PSU's above the cpu after the Pentium II's? Reply
ronmccord - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkI think you are being hard on this very small and unique case. First off 50-65 celcius under load is not bad at all considering the case. and 35db not bad at all either. I am coming from laptops that run that and dbs can be higher so I am not as picky. The temps are well under specs and this is a much smaller case the prodigy or sg08 that you speak so highly of. In fact this is one of the smallest itx cases you can buy with a real 450 watt power supply and 760 asus small video card. The prodigy is downright huge and is really an mini atx case. Not only can you pick this up and go easily but it will fit in a backpack or in carry on luggage like a waterproof pelican 1510 which only a couple of other cases will do. The look is quality and unique and you can put it behind a monitor whereas the prodigy and shoebox style cases can take up too much room especially the wobbly plastic prodigy. This is a quality specialist case and My plan is to ditch the optical drive, get a silverstone gold 450 sft modular, one ssd and the new Asus 760 mini. I wll just udate the mini video card every couple of years and be good to go! Would of been nice to have someone really review this with a modular powersupply and getting rid of any excess cables with the new 760. Reply
Haravikk - Saturday, April 12, 2014 - linkThe review mentions the 120mm fan mount, but would they take a 140mm fan with 120mm mounting holes? I often use the Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14 for that purpose; although it's really a CPU cooler it makes a great case fan thanks to being only 15mm thick, provided you're okay with only having a PWM connection.
Personally I think this case looks pretty sweet, but I can understand the reviewers issues with it. But assuming you have a video card that is single height, perhaps you could use one of those single-slot GPU cooler blower fans to help keep the heat down? Personally I was thinking of maybe cutting a piece of plastic to direct some of the airflow down towards the GPU.
I'm also hoping Lian-Li may just ditch the optical drive in a future model, as it's a better place to put your 2.5" drive(s), and you could probably do it now if you wanted to keep them away from the GPU. Plus it may open up room for a second 120mm fan on the front; I suppose technically you could even do that yourself on a TU100 right now if you're willing to drill into it, which is one of the hidden benefits of aluminium (it's a lot easier than even thin steel).
You're right though that the attention to detail is a bit lacking, as this could otherwise be a perfect case for small form factor computer, without sacrificing (much) component choice. Reply
n13L5 - Thursday, September 10, 2015 - linkThis is a great design, but silly and obvious mistakes being made in the allocation of space.
Lian Li's designers have not paid attention to recent component trends (last 5-7 years are wholly ignored). When they do build smaller boxes, space is usually misallocated, leading to limitations that end up sending even Lian Li fans to purchase lower quality Silverstone cases with better layout and cooling strategies.

Devizes PHAB Club's annual wheelchair push and walk through the town centre on Saturday has raised nearly £3,500 for their funds and other good causes.
Deputy mayor Roger Giraud-Saunders and his wife Nina saw off the participants from the Nursteed Centre on Saturday on their two-lap tour of the area.
Wheelchair users who didn't have anyone to push them around found willing assistants among members of Devizes Round Table and there were many inventive fancy dress entries as well.
Faith Greenman won first prize in the fancy dress competition as Queen of Hearts, with Veronica Waller's Second-Hand Rose second and Tony Cole's Nessie third.
The best fancy hat belonged to Mary Gray, with Veronica Waller second and Faith Greenman third.
The event raised £2,488 for PHAB's new minibus and £857 for other charities.
Organiser Michael Braund said: "The annual event also raises money for other charities, with participants donating 50 per cent of their sponsorship."
Sponsorship is still being accepted. Contact Mr Braund on (01380) 870274 or email@example.com

Society for Philosophy
The Society for Philosophy and Psychology is the premier scientific and educational organization for philosophically interested psychologists and psychologically interested philosophers in North America. The purpose of the SPP is to promote interaction between philosophers, psychologists and other cognitive scientists on issues of common concern.
The SPP held its first meeting October 24-26, 1974 at MIT. It met for a second time Spring 1976 at Cornell University. At this second meeting, conferees passed a constitution and elected officers. Jerry Fodor, then of MIT, was the first SPP president. The SPP prides itself on holding small meetings with significant interaction between participants and a highly selective review process for contributed papers.
The SPP is a IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization.
Annual Meeting and Call for Papers
The 43rd Annual Meeting of the Society for Philosophy and Psychology will be held beginning the evening of June 28 through July 1, with a preconference workshop during the day on June 28. It will be held on the campus of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
The SPP holds an annual meeting, usually held in June. Meetings consist of invited lectures and symposia, contributed papers, and a Presidential address. Social events include a receptiosn and lunch meetings. SPP encourages suggestions for the invited portion of the program for upcoming meetings. These should be directed to this year's Program Co-Chairs. We also encourage members (especially non-philosophers) to submit contributed papers to the meeting. Programs of past meetings are available.
Registration is now open! See the Meeting page for more detail.
Membership in the Society for Philosophy and Psychology is open to anyone interested in joining. Annual membership dues are $60.00 per year for faculty, $40.00 for post-docs and others with limited income, and $25.00 for students. There is also a Lifetime Membership option for $600.00. Online membership and dues payment is available ` your use. Members are entitled to vote on all issues at the annual business meeting (including election of officers) and are automatically added to the SPP e-mail list servers.
The list servers are used to inform subscribers about SPP matters such as the annual meetings, calls for papers, and membership benefits.
Note: the SPP list servers are not forums for electronic discussion. We maintain two lists. The spp-announce list will only be used for official SPP business. A second list spp-misc is used for conference calls, etc., from non-SPP organizations that the list moderator believes are likely to be of interest to SPP members.
Each year the SPP awards three prizes at its annual meeting. Congratulations to the recent winners.
The 2017 Stanton Award, for a young scholar in philosophy or psychology who has begun making significant contributions to interdisciplinary research and has been active in SPP, was awarded to Felipe De Brigard (Philosophy, Duke). The 2016 award went to Liane Young (Psychology, Boston College).
The 2016 William James Prize, for the best contributed paper by a graduate student was awarded to Jake Quilty-Dunn (Philosophy, CUNY Graduate Center) for "Representational Format and the Perception-Cognition Border."
The 2016 Poster Prize was awarded to Kristan Marchak and D. Geoffrey Hall (University of British Columbia) for "What's in a name? How to reidentify the Ship of Theseus."
The Stanton award is presented in honor Harry and Betty Stanton of Bradford Books/The MIT Press. The executive committee selects the winner of the Stanton Prize. SPP members are invited to send nominations for the 2017 prize to the chair of the Stanton Prize committee at email@example.com.
Officers and Constitution
The SPP elects officers and Executive Committee members at its annual business meeting. The President serves a one year term, and also serves as President-elect and Past President (ex officio positions on the Executive Committee) in the years before and after he or she presides. The President appoints Program Co-Chairs for the annual meeting of the year he or she presides. The Secretary-Treasurer serves a three-year term, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the SPP. Executive Committee members serve three-year terms, on a rotational basis. The SPP makes every reasonable effort to keep an equal number of philosophers and scientists on the Executive Committee every year, to have both a philosopher and a scientist as yearly Program Co-Chairs, and to alternate the President yearly between philosophers and scientists.
The SPP welcomes inquiries about its activities. Address correspondence to the Secretary-Treasurer:

Mirvac issues massive WA, Queensland writedownCarolyn Cummins
Published: February 7 2013 - 1:11PM
Mirvac has been forced to write down some Queensland and Western Australian residential projects by $273.2 million, reflecting the tough housing markets and bad weather in the past two years.
Investor reaction was swift with the securities down 2.67 per cent to $1.56.
It was the first major action taken by the recently-appointed chief executive Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz as part of the group's quarterly review of its operations. It comes a week before Mirvac releases its profit for the six months to December 31, 2012.
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said today at an investor briefing that while it was disappointing to make the write down it was necessary for transparency purposes.
But she added that it was not expected to have any significant impact on the overall earnings outlook for Mirvac, and she reaffirmed that the group remained on track to deliver 2013 operating earnings per security (EPS) in line with guidance at 10.7 to 10.8 cents and a distribution of 8.5 to 8.7 cents per security.
Analysts said the majority of the write downs were in the apartments sector with the land impairment being focussed on one project between Brisbane and Gold Coast. But they added that a market recovery is not expected to improve to the same extent as previously expected.
"The provisions taken are predominantly the result of changes observed in various micro markets in which Mirvac operates and reflect revised expectations for these markets," Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said.
"Price points and sales rates over the past six months, including the recent spring and summer sales periods, have shown that the velocity and extent of a market recovery are not likely to eventuate as previously expected.
"As a sector we have shifted to a new environment of lower growth and it is our responsibility to ensure that the capital we invest going forward reflects this new paradigm."
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said that the developments in NSW, such as the mixed use Harold Park Paceway in Glebe, Sydney and Yarra's Edge, Melbourne were performing in line with the company's forecasts.
But she added that selected underperforming projects will be sold as "englobo" lots to generate cash and avoid investing additional capital into underperforming projects.

|Previous Episode: Built to Kill, Part 1
|Next Episode: Toe Tags
Built To Kill, Part 2 is the second episode in the seventh season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. It was the second part of a two-part episode.
Synopsis Edit
While Grissom is confounded by a miniature left behind at the murder site of a retired rock star, Catherine does her own investigation of when she was drugged and finds a connection to a recent case.
Plot Edit
The episode opens with Sara and Grissom processing a scene, while Catherine questions the motel manager about who she was with the night before. The two CSIs look around the crime scene, seeing a miniature version of the crime scene. Grissom actually makes a comment that shows how much older he is than Sara, saying that a song was "Before Sara's time." Sara leaves the crime scene, finding Catherine at the motel.
Catherine asks Sara to process the scene of her rape without anyone else knowing. Sara says it'll be inadmissible. Catherine says she knows protocol and all she wants to know is what happened. Catherine emphasizes to Sara that she doesn't want to make it official. Catherine returns to the lab where she processes her improvised rape kit.
After picking up Lindsey from a dance practice, Catherine gets into a car accident. A man approaches the car, and kidnaps Lindsey. Catherine finds acceleration marks on the road, showing that the crash was deliberate. Only a few hours after the incident, Sam appears, wondering why Catherine hasn't told him of the kidnapping yet. He admits that someone is trying to use his family to get to him. He shows her photos of Catherine drugged and of Lindsey tied to a chair. During the conversation of Sam and Catherine, after calling her father a 'thug in thousand dollar shoes', Sam slaps Catherine across her mouth, and Catherine leaves, saying, "Thanks for not disappointing me, Sam." A fingerprint on Catherine's car connects it to a previous robbery and in the crime scene photos there is the chair that Lindsey is photographed tied to. This gives the CSIs the break, Lindsey is rescued, and her kidnapper shot and injured as he tries to escape. He is identified as being in the bar the previous night. His DNA shows that he is the brother of the partner of the man who committed suicide at Sam's party. When Catherine goes to tell Sam this outside his casino, the partner, Joe Hirschoff approaches and shoots Sam, before being shot himself by Sam's bodyguard when attempting to flee.
The investigation continues into the murder of the rock n' roll star, Izzy Delancy (played by Danny Bonaduce). It is discovered that Izzy was in negotiations for a stage show based on his music. The rights to his music will go to his son, but since he is a minor, it will be controlled by his mother, Izzy's first wife (though it turns out they weren't really married). They find that he was sleeping with the nanny, and that nanny has been selling private photographs of the family to a gossip website. At first, the son is suspected due to his interest in models, but eliminated when it is shown that he faints at the sight of blood. The case finishes unsolved, though Grissom finds a part of a photograph on the back of one of the photographs in the diorama.
Ecklie wants to release information to the media about the diorama. Grissom disagrees, and when Sara also states she doesn't think it is a good idea, Ecklie makes a comment that suggests he knows about their relationship. Later, Grissom tells Sara that he will deal with it.
In the episode Post Mortem (of season 7) The Miniature Killer, that killed Izzy Delancy, returns with a new victim and a new miniature model. The killer reappeared later in the season within the episodes Loco Motives, Monster in the Box and Living Doll

- Sara: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you call it in?
- Catherine: I called you.
- Sara: Catherine, doing it yourself is going to make anything that you get inadmissible.
- Catherine: Yeah, I know procedure. I didn't want an official investigation. I... I just want to know what happened.

- Catherine: I appreciate that.
- Grissom: You've got to stay at arm's length, Catherine.
- Catherine (nods): I...I know.
- Catherine: Sam! What do you know about what happened to Lindsey?
- Sam: What do you know about it?
- Catherine: Who's using us to get to you? This is your granddaughter we're talking about. What the hell do you know?
- Sam (takes an envelope out of his pocket): Front desk found this in the quick checkout bin.
- (Catherine opens the envelope and takes out a photo of Catherine sprawled naked on the motel bed. There's a message: CAN YOU GUESS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME?)
- Catherine: "Can you guess what you're going to give me" What does that mean? Who's behind this?
- Sam: I don't know. This was just found. Same place. (takes out another envelope, inside is a photo of Lindsey, blindfolded and tied to a chair in an empty room. The message reads: 20 MILLION BY WIRE. #77-889-9000-662. BANQUE ROYALE GENEVA)
- Catherine: Where is she? Who has her?
- Sam: I swear, I don't know.
- Catherine: Like hell! I blame you! I blame you for this!
- Sam: I never wanted to involve you personally or professionally in any of my business.
- Catherine: Business? You don't have a business. You're a thug in thousand dollar shoes! (Sam slaps her across the face) Thanks for not disappointing me, Sam.
- Sam (while on the phone with Catherine): When were you gonna tell me about what happened to you and Lindsey?
- Catherine: It just happened. Who told you?
- Sam: It's a small town, Catherine.
- Catherine: Well, I can't talk right now. I'll let you know when we find something out.
- Sam: Anything you need to tell me, I've got people who deal with this stuff. Nobody gets away with threatening my family.
- Grissom (while looking at Izzy's X-ray): Now, what is this? (Doc Robbins cuts open Izzy's stomach and removes a key) The key to our mystery?
- When Grissom disects the miniature doll of Izzy Delancy, the doll is standing upright, but all other times the doll is shown, it is seen as sitting down and leaning forward.

Hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday weekend. Some of you may recall my last meatloaf fiasco with the "Smurf" gravy.
No tricks this time. Once again, I went with the cast iron loaf pan because it was a gift, and it works exceptionally well.
One hour and ten minutes later, this loaf is done. Thanks to TJ's hardwood charcoal, just one chimney full, and one pouch of hickory chips. You can see how the smoke colored the top of my loaf.
Here you will see that I did not get much in the way of a smoke ring, but I sure did get the flavor! I plated this one up with my must have mashed potatoes and a borrowed portion of the mixed veggies I use to give to my birdie.
Okay, I promised no tricks. Gravy just sends this over the top for me. I once heard the expression, "Gravy-- the official beverage of the South." Well, that's not too far from the truth in this neighborhood in the south of California!
Oh man, oh man, I just can't get enough of this stuff!

Descriptions updated, finally, with the usual apologies for tardiness. If you're wondering what's been going down in Take Care land recently, I've finished my masters, Tim's still working on his, and we're writing a newsletter/zine that documents, in tedious detail, the distro's first year. The recent months have been marked by tragedy and sadness not worthy of expression in this site update, but I have just about regained my energy and enthusiasm for the distro, and things should start picking up now. In fact, I'm looking forward to it.
So, those zines that are now described:

IN the first of a new weekly feature, in which the Gazette will feature local people and local business, we speak to Megan Lee, 20, who was born and bred in Grays – and studied floristry when she left school.
Her passion has led her to Lodge Lane, where she lives, and where she has opened her first store – Lily on the Lane.
The shop opened last week and, as well as selling flowers, it stocks shabby chic accessories and balloons. Megan hopes to venture into furniture in the next few months. She spent four months sprucing up the shop ready for its launch.
Q) What do you love about Thurrock – and why did you start your business here?
A) It's so close to home. When I go to work, it's like a home from home, which I just love. I wanted to stay local. I can walk to work, which is great. If it were to snow, I can walk to work and business won't be affected. It's practical.
Q) What advice would you give to someone looking to set up their own business in Thurrock?
A) Go for it! But try to be a bit different, to stand out from the crowd. I was just going to do flowers, but decided to add a few more bits to the shop, which makes it more special.
Q) You've only just opened. What has the public reaction been like?
A) A lot of people have come in and said how glad they are to see a shop like this open up. We're a bit different to what people can get at Lakeside and people don't always want to travel that far. I've taken quite a few orders for Valentine's Day already, which is great, and I've had a lot of interest in weddings.
Q) What's the plan for the future?
A) I plan to open up more shops around the borough. It's going to be a family-run business.My sister is about to study floristry and the plan is she will have her own shops too.

Sign up for our weekly email * The spider and the cleaner work in the same building, not far from each other but solitary in their worlds. The spider spins quietly, tapping and rubbing herself. When the Hoover starts up, she can hear it through her hairs, feeling the sound waves like a wind on her body. She has eight eyes. She may not see in colour but she's sensitive to tiny movements. There's something stately about her panic: no noise, no head movement, simply her legs carry her suddenly into hiding. The cleaner on the other hand shouts and steps backwards: "Weird isn't it, all those legs, very fragile and quite soft. A spider might measure an inch and a half but the mind sees something huge. I must admit, I'm a little bit unnerved by big spiders. Someone told me they bite. I might just pick them up very quickly – you know, grab them with my hand very softly and fling them out the window. I'd never kill one." The cleaner has only two eyes. When he's not cleaning, he paints detailed pictures of invisible worlds. When he cleans, he keeps his eyes tuned to the task. He sees dust, mud, smears, nail clippings, spillages, hairs in plugholes, unpaid bills, kicked-off shoes, all the secret debris of a human. At a certain point he glances at the ceiling and sees cobwebs: "Ah yes, what should you do about webs? Old webs I'll get rid of, they're just big balls or twists of dust; and kitchen webs, the more you leave them (and I'm talking years here) the more the whole place becomes a congealment of grease. But fresh webs – I tend to take one and leave another. I make a balancing decision. I try not to get anxious about the ethics of it. There's the issue of flies, of course. Not hygienic but I have saved flies on occasion. But those webs, when you see them outdoors they're like cradles of jewels between the gorse – it seems so sad to damage them." Webs are made mostly of spaces. They break easily. They barely exist. They belong to the category of half-things: mist, smoke, shrouds, ghosts, membranes, retinas or rags; and they quickly fill up with un-things: old legs and wings and heads and hollow abdomens and body bags of wasps. Outdoors, where their diagrams are more defined, they present themselves as dazzling displays of maths, as if the earth had spent all night noting down her rotations. In fact it takes less than an hour to make one. Spoke to spoke You need eight spinning glands, each capable of producing a slightly different kind of silk. First you release a floating thread, which catches on a surface. Then you spin a Y-shape from its centre and add a set of non-sticky spokes, never more than a step-width apart. As you spin the sticky cross-struts, you have to move carefully from spoke to spoke, so as not to get stuck, like a cleaner cleaning himself to the far side of a kitchen, trying not to touch the wet tiles. By the end of the day, the threads will be covered in dust. Most spiders eat and remake their webs every night. "It's amazing, the power of them spinning. You see that thing rotating really quickly. If I could just get a message to the spider to move off, that's the real way to deal with them. I did it with moles once. But when I'm cleaning I just don't have time. Sometimes I use the Hoover extension but that's no good because it clings to the tube and you've only got one sucking action. I prefer feather dusters, because they're light and easy and I just push them up and twizzle them round and it's gone . . ." Alice Oswald was talking to Simon Prince.

Hank Greenberg, the boy from the Bronx who grew up to become a Hall of Fame slugger, died yesterday at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 75 years old.
According to a statement released by Alan Rothenberg, president of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team and a senior partner in the law firm in which Mr. Greenberg's son, Stephen, is also employed, the former Detroit Tiger star had been suffering from cancer for 13 months.
Harry Benjamin Greenberg was born Jan. 1, 1911, and spent his youth first on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and then in the Bronx.
After graduating from James Monroe High School, he enrolled at New York University on an athletic scholarship in 1929 but dropped out to sign a baseball contract for $9,000 a year. He thus began a long career in professional baseball as a player, executive and team owner after refusing to listen to Paul Krichell, the Yankee scout, who tried to sign him to a contract. Turned Down Yankee Offer
''As a high school ballplayer,'' Mr. Greenberg recalled in his later years, ''I turned down a chance to be part of the Yankee farm system. I was a slugging first baseman and the Yankees had the greatest in Lou Gehrig. So I chose Detroit.''
By his own admission, Mr. Greenberg was ''a pretty gosh awful player in my younger days.'' But he became a polished player through hard work. He hired peanut vendors and park attendants every morning to help him with his hitting and fielding.
After one time at bat with the Tigers in 1930, he returned to the minors until 1933, when he rejoined the Tigers for good. He spent 12 of his 13 seasons with Detroit as a first baseman and a left fielder. He led the American League in home runs five times and runs batted in four times.
He retired in 1947 after playing one season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, to whom he had been sold. In that one season in Pittsburgh, Greenberg became the highest-paid player in baseball.
When he threatened to retire, John Galbreath, the owner of the Pirates, signed him to a $65,000 contract, plus options. Greenberg sold back those options after the season, thus attaining what was believed to be the first $100,000 contract. Best Season in 1938
Greenberg enjoyed his best season in 1938 when, in addition to hitting 58 home runs, he drove in 146 runs. He also scored 144 runs and drew 119 walks that season, both tops in the league. The 58 home runs, at the time second best to Babe Ruth's 60, equaled the 1932 feat by Jimmie Foxx of the Philadelphia Athletics.
But Greenberg, who hit 331 homers and had a .313 lifetime batting average, counted the 1945 season as his greatest. After returning from Army service to the Tigers on July 1, he hit a home run before a crowd of 47,721 and led the Tigers in their pennant fight with the Washington Senators that was culminated by a grand slam on the final day of the season.
Greenberg played in four World Series with the Tigers - 1934, '35, '40 and '45, in which he compiled a .318 career batting average.
He was drafted into the Army on May 7, 1941, the first baseball star to go into the service. He was discharged on Dec. 5, 1941 under a rule allowing those over the age of 28 to cut short their terms. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps.
After hitting only 25 homers, driving in 74 runs and batting .249 in 1947 with the Pirates, he retired. The following year he bought a share of the Cleveland Indians from Bill Veeck, one of his closest friends. He later became the club's general manager. Joined Veeck in Chicago
He was dismissed after the 1957 season, and when Veeck purchased the White Sox in 1959, Greenberg was one of the first people he brought to Chicago, naming him vice president and general manager.
Greenberg, who was the American League's most valuable player in 1935 and again in 1940, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1956, the first Jewish player to be chosen.
In 1959, Greenberg was divorced from his wife of 13 years, Carol Gimbel, the department store heiress. They had three children. He is survived by his wife, Mary Jo, two sons, one daughter, two brothers, a sister and eight grandchildren. Funeral services will be private.

Healthy Body, Healthy Home, Healthy Life: Q&A with Talima Davis of Limegreen
Limegreen is our new favorite line of organic, vegan body and home products. Meet Talima Davis, the woman behind it, in our exclusive interview!
-Lucia Peters
Have you ever taken a casual look at the label on your body wash or your laundry detergent, only to realize with horror that not only do you not know what most of the ingredients in it are, but even worse, that you can't pronounce any of them? We've been there! That's why we're so excited to introduce you to Limegreen, a Brooklyn-based company that makes some of the best natural, organic, and vegan products for your body and home that we've ever seen. You won't find any chemicals, additives, preservatives, or things you can't pronounce on Limegreen's labels! Check out the line's fab products, from body was to massage oil and from laundry detergent to disinfectant spray, on sale now in BettyConfidential Shop's exclusive flash sale!
Talima Davis, the mastermind behind Limegreen, sat down to chat with us about the benefits of using organic products, what she would use to clean up a house-wide muddy mess, and more. Read on for all the deets!
BettyConfidential: How did you become a maker of vegan home products?
Talima Davis: I became a maker of vegan home products based on a need I felt was missing in the home, baby, and garden arena. I felt like so many products that are labeled "natural" really aren't natural at all. So I wanted a line that was really natural, something that was both safe for everyone in the home and with multiple ways to use.
Limegreen's Hand Poured Soy Glass Candle in Lemongrass. Snag it now at BettyConfidential Shop for 30% off!
BC: Can you tell us a little about the history of Limegreen? How did you hatch the idea for the company?
TD: Limegreen is inspired by my childhood in North Carolina and my grandmother Catherine, an award-winning gardener. I had been making room sprays and laundry detergent as a hobby since 2007, but after two close family and friends died of cancer and after my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, I decided to leave my industry (I had been an Art Production Manager for eleven years) to pursue my hobby as a full time venture. I wanted my contribution to the world to be something good, even if it was just in a small way.
BC: What's your background like? Had you ever dabbled in making making home or body products or in other types of design before creating Limegreen?
TD: My background is design; however, my mom likes to tell people about how I always used to use her lotions and perfumes to make "things."
BC: Sounds like it payed off! Limegreen's products are known for being completely vegan. What are the benefits of using vegan home products, as opposed to regular ol' ones from Target or wherever?
TD: I think there is a huge benefit to using all-natural and organic products as opposed to some regular ones: You know exactly what is in the product. Limegreen's products do not contain chemicals, sulfates, or anything you can't pronounce!
Up next: Talima's favorite multi-tasker and more!

16 episodes - Wed, Thu 21:55
Contract marriage? The couple wont live in the same room. In the end, they actually will anyway. Contract dating? Why be shy when youre going to date anyways? What? Contract siblings? That is quite something if you ask me. However, there is one bizarre contract between two couples. Her major is creative writing (overflowing with lies), double majoring in acting (nice looking face with exceptional acting skills), minor major in broadcast entertainment (wonderful showmanship with quick agility of wit).
Joo Yu-rin has an imprudent European attitude with full capability to do anything along with her good looks. Theres also Seol Gong-chan, a mighty fortunate man, who could handle any business of his own that he wants. There cannot be a more fatal chance of meeting than the one they have; nonetheless they get make a contract sibling agreement perhaps by their will or not. However, the two must join forces to go through the hardship that they must face
Theres another couple that get involved. Jung-woo who is a free-loving person, and Gong-chans past sweetheart, Se-hyun, a famous Korean sports star. Jung-woo gets quite frustrated by Yu-rin who keeps escaping from him, and Se-hyun keeps thinking of her past sweetheart, Gong-chan and cant seem to let him go. Despite the small fights, the loving feelings that suddenly arise between Gong-chan and Yu-rin, and Jung-woo and Se-hyuns love for them. What would happen between these four?

Troopers To Discuss Ohio Crash That Killed 6 Teens
Investigators are ready to share more details about a crash that killed six Ohio teenagers when a speeding SUV flipped into a pond.
The State Highway Patrol planned a news conference Thursday afternoon to discuss the circumstances of the crash March 10 in Warren, about 50 miles southeast of Cleveland. The lingering questions include how fast the vehicle was traveling, where the teens were before the crash and whether anyone might be charged.
The 19-year-old driver was among those killed. Authorities say she didn't have a valid license.
A coroner determined five teens who were trapped in the SUV and a sixth who was ejected and found underneath the vehicle had drowned. Two boys escaped and sought help.
The SUV was reported stolen after the crash.

Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
David Quinn wrote:We can't jump outside our own neural net and experience what lies beyond. Not even Buddhas can do this.
A fully conscious being is simply one who is fully conscious of reality, which includes the reality that his own consciousness is necessarily limited when it comes to being aware of all the little details in the world.
Carmel wrote:What you don't seem to understand is that when you say things like this all you're really doing is revealing yourself as a fraud, though it wouldn't be first time and I'm sure it won't be the last.
As for demonstrating some "deep sounding" examples of absolute truth, I'm still waiting on those...but, frankly I think I'd prefer to read David's thoughts on the matter as he seems to possess a far greater grasp on the matter, but thanks for your time nonetheless :)
Carmel wrote:I have no interest in discussing any of this with you, based on your responses to David, it's clear to me that you have little understanding of the philosophies here, you haven't gone beyond rudimentary logic. i.e. 1+1=2, a circle can't be a square.
Dennis Mahar wrote:Laird,Too much for you to accept the reality that Kevin is talking about biological women, huh coach?
It's not that simple Laird.
In the World of Laird there appears to be something at stake for Laird in relation to Kevin's position.
This 'at stakeness' holds a certain irritability and discontent.
If you could open up about that then we can get access beyond this gestalt of 'holding a gun at someone's head' which has us stuck.
jupiviv wrote:It's telling that you think you are qualified to judge me when you are doing the exact same things you are accusing me of doing. But I will concede that David Quinn shows more integrity in his "actions" than I do.
He may not be able to perceive the "little details", as you say, with his senses. But through logic, it is possible to be aware of the fact that the "I" exists and everything that is not the "I" also exists.
m4tt_666 wrote:you cannot prove beyond doubt consciousness arises only when there is a 'brain' to create it. you cannot deny the fact that our consciousness may be a separate being from our complete physical makeup.
David Quinn wrote:Jupiviv is right, actually. Absolute knowledge is indeed defined to be knowledge that is necessarily true in all times and places. It isn't something which is merely true in somes places and not others. It isn't contigent upon the arisal of a particular set of circumstances, or the appearance of particular empirical evidence, or the adoption of a particular perspective, or the consensus of a particular number of people. It is necessarily true for all circumstances, perspectives, and people. It is a form of knowledge that cannot be falsified under any circumstances whatsoever.
Carmel wrote:No, all definitions are not absolute, universal truths.
When you work out this is not about me
but about your fear and reluctance to publicly recognise the gross bias and falsity in the collated quotes on women, then get back to me. Until then...
Until then
Carmel wrote:Questions regarding valid definitions inevitably arise along the way when we attempt to turn the philosophic absolute truth of A=A into an "absolute truth" of Ultimate Reality, The Totality, infinity etc.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/3/2013 (1624 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HOUSTON - A Delta Air Lines jet returning to a gate at Houston's William P. Hobby Airport got stuck in the mud at the edge of a taxiway Monday morning.
No one on Delta Flight 4302, bound for Atlanta at 6:45 a.m., was hurt, Houston Airport System spokeswoman Darian Ward said.
Delta spokesman Joe Williams said the Delta Connection flight, a Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft operated by Pinnacle Airlines, Inc., was carrying 76 passengers and a crew of four.
Ward said the incident didn't affect other flights, although Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said an airport runway was temporarily closed.
"The pilot reported a communication problem, returned to the gate but ended up taxiing on the grass, where the plan was stuck," Cory said.
Images from the scene showed the jet's front gear in the grass.
Shuttle buses were dispatched to take the passengers back to the terminal for rebooking.
Hobby Airport, the smaller of Houston's two major airports, is a few miles southeast of downtown.

DAVID Edgar admits Burnley failed to make the best of a changing Reebok atmosphere after he had opened the scoring on Saturday.
The Clarets defender headed home the afternoon's first goal 10 minutes after half time, setting off a chorus of jeers around the stadium.
At that point it seemed Wanderers could allow the negativity to get on top of them – but substitutes Craig Davies and David Ngog came on to have the final say and leave Edgar wondering what might have been.
"We were on the front foot in the first half and in the beginning of the second half when we got the first goal you could see the whole atmosphere changing around the place with the crowd getting on their backs, and it is just disappointing the way we conceded," he said.
"Once we got the goal we took our foot off the gas a bit and we should have taken advantage of their crowd turning on them and put a lot of pressure on them.
"But we stopped playing it out from the back and stopped playing our football that we played in the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half.
"We have got to be mentally stronger to get on to the ball even when the crowd are going wild. We need that little bit of composure. We just lost that a little bit after we scored."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2013 (1465 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Under a wash of lights made to leer like tiger stripes, Selena Gomez wiggled hips swaddled in shiny white, and spat out a rap in a squeaky monotone.
It was nothing weighty, just one cotton-candy moment among many in the early minutes of the former Disney ingenue's Stars Dance tour, this one during the breakdown of the song B.E.A.T. But the crowd cheered. Their young voices pierced the MTS Centre, and their waving hands rippled across the floor, and that indiscrimnately adoring response highlighted just who that moment belonged to, and who it was really for.
Oh, it was not for music journalists, no, or even really for the parents that gamely bopped along in every other seat, but for the wider sets of eyes those parents were sandwiched between. Because Gomez's celebrity is created by and for the young, and the Stars Dance concert played out the way the young imagine theirs would too, when they sing into brushes under the lights of the bathroom mirror.
Look, in an era of packaged pop stars, Gomez is more prepared even than most. Her first solo-branded album, the brand-new Stars Dance, is billed as more "personal" than her first, which she has said means she called its songwriters and told them about how she was feeling and what kind of songs she wanted to sing. She is 21 now, and so the lyrics are a little sharper, a little more racy than when she was just a teen.
But only a little. Just enough to electrify hearts for whom love is still new — just not enough to horrify their parents too.
That's basically how the Stars Dance concert played out, for that matter. It was just the fifth date on the tour, which started last week in Vancouver and will run almost until December. So on Monday night at MTS Centre the set-up was still fresh, as it sped along breathlessly from one bouncy beat to the next, pausing for a few ballads — which she sang solo, poised and elegant in a black gown — before building back up to the peppy dance beats.
It kicked off just after 8:30, as she bounced onstage clad in a shiny white bustier and white pants, the first outfit of many. She shimmied through Bang Bang Bang and Round and Round, both tunes from her younger days, as her back-up dancers whirled behind. The lights cycled between pink and purple and blue and white, as her outfits cycled through sparkly black and finally landing on a dazzling gold leotard fit for a star.
Gomez is a star, of course, though a curious one. As an actor, the screen loves her; as a singer, she seems less at home. She has a pretty voice, but not a distinctive one. She is a decent dancer but not a remarkable one, she hits her steps but is not transformed by the moves and the grooves and the beat. She is bubbly and bright, but doesn't have the presence to fill a stage — at least not yet, anyway. She is still very young.
What she has, though, is a natural and effortless ability to relate, to be up on stage and yet, somehow, not above. Gomez was bullied badly as a child, and before crooning the pretty Who Says her face wore her worry for kids who face the same. "Every single one of you are beautiful the way you are," she said. "Every message I get from you (about bullying), it hurts me. You guys are so beautiful. Please don't listen to that, ever, ever, ever."
So that was how the concert was lifted above its cautiously choreographed restrictions, above its packaged vocals and largely unimaginative visual production (dancers tangled up in hanging ropes on Whiplash was a rare exception to that): it did so on the strength of one likable young woman, on the simple uplifting messages in her hooky tunes, and on the sweetness of a girl next door decked in glittery gold, strutting down the S-shaped stage that jutted onto the floor, and wiggling her hips through the pumped-up encore: "When you're ready," she sang, all flirty and fun, "come and get it."

Of course, with a stealth cam, you could capture a lot of video without raising any unwarranted attention. Hopefully people do not use it for the wrong reasons, but I guess that risk runs with any new technology now a days.

For nearly twenty years, the Drug Policy Alliance has sponsored and supported some of the nation's most progressive drug policy reforms in California. Learn about the work of our California team and how you can help support their efforts to create effective drug policies in the golden state.
Our Campaigns
Marijuana Reform
Unequal application of the law and other harms of marijuana prohibition have affected millions of Californians. DPA played a key role in passing Prop 64, which legalizes the adult use of marijuana in the nation's most populous state and focuses on undoing the most egregious harms of marijuana prohibition.
If you have a criminal conviction for marijuana, you may be eligible to change your record or get resentenced. Find out how to change your record under Prop 64.
Harm Reduction
DPA is working to reduce the harms associated with drug use in California. Our priorities include expanding sterile syringe access, preventing overdose, increasing access to effective treatment and establishing supervised injection facilities.
Criminal Justice
Drug arrests have led to unprecedented levels of incarceration in California, especially for people of color. DPA advocates for broad sentencing reform, alternatives to incarceration, protecting immigrants from deportation for drug offenses, reversing the negative impact of past drug-related criminalization and ending civil asset forfeiture.
Did you know you could get the opiate overdose reversal drug, naloxone, in California pharmacies without a prescription?

Engaging Latinos
DPA is working to engage Latinos in Southern California on drug policy issues. We are building unprecedented support for drug policy reform by engaging prominent Latino organizations across the state.
Recent efforts
- Since 2012, we have been an ally of the Caravan for Peace, Life and Justice, a group of activists who travel through Central and North America to spread awareness and generate discussion about the humanitarian crisis caused by the US-funded drug war in Mexico.
- In 2013 and 2014, nearly two dozen Latino organizations supported DPA legislation that called for reducing the penalty for simple drug possession and equalizing penalties for crack and powder cocaine.
- In 2015, DPA partnered with immigrant rights advocates to advance "crimigration" legislation, an effort to prevent deportation for immigrants who commit low-level drug law violations.

Ms. Tziolas was recently released from her position as a teacher at Narraweena Public School. It seems that the photo for which she posed with her husband, was deemed to sexual for the administration. Parents came to her support though with a petition and a rally. They just want their teacher back. In response Ms. Tziolas has filed suit alleging wrongful dismissal.
This story caught my attention due to a question posted at Dirty Rotten Feminist. The question was, "What would you do if sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia just disappeared tomorrow? Seriously? If fighting the good fight was done, and everyone was magically equal in all respects of the word? What would be the first thing you'd do?" My response was, "This is going to sound weird but I would walk my neighborhood naked. It would be something to experience a world in which my gender, and body signified only what I intended it to signify. My nakedness would be a symbol of my freedom."
The controversy regarding this photo explains why my wish is so relevant. When we look at a body, it becomes host to social construction. A naked woman in a patriarchal society is always sexualized regardless of her intent. What matters is how the image is read by others, and not what the body signifies to the individual. For women the body is the receptacle of negative stereotypes. 'Woman' is less than, licentious, devious, and weak.
By firing Ms. Tziolas what the administration was effectively doing was disciplining behavior that it had deemed obscene, due to the understanding that good girls keep their clothes on. Good girls perform their gender based on a strict code dictated by patriarchy. Her nakedness directly confronted the Whore/Madonna complex and challenges the reader/viewer to question what the body signifies. What if Ms. Tziolas is neither the whore or the virgin? What if she is just a body on display bereft of a sexualized lens? Could we then appreciate the beauty of the image without attempting to stigmatize and or discipline her? If women possessed actual autonomy over their beings it might be possible to see this photo as an expression of freedom and love, but as long as the feminine is uniquely conflated with a male sexual gaze, images like this one will continue to be considered problematic. He who has the power to name, ultimately controls how images akin to this are understood.

M*A*S*H marks 30th anniversary of historic finale
I remember the finale of M*A*S*H like it was yesterday, instead of turning 30 years old this very day.
On Feb. 28, 1983, I sat in front of the TV at home with my hand on the VCR control, dutifully hitting "pause" in the recording so that my Mom would have a commercial-free version of her favorite show's final episode. It wasn't even a remote control; it was wired, keeping me within 3 feet of our behemoth TV. I don't remember caring one way or the other that the show was ending; it felt like a chore having the watch it week after week. (I was clearly young and stupid in 1983.)
Years later in college, I found the aging VHS tape (packed in a box with newer copies of Beverly Hills Cop and Caddyshack) and popped it into the same machine that had recorded it. And finally I got it. And by the time we see "GOODBYE" written in stones near the chopper pad, I was in full-on weeping mode.
Here are some other recollections and trivia about the show:
THE LENGTH: The episode, titled Goodbye, Farewell and Amen, was 2 1/2 hours long. It was the show's 251st episode and conclused the series' 11th season. …Full Story

So today I was thinking that when my 30th birthday comes in three years I want to start a project car. I'm trying to think of what car so I figured I would come on here for suggestions. Here is what I have thought of so far:
Mid 60's Nova
Old School Challenger.
An old Charger
And the last that I can think of right now is a 1993-1998 Toyota Supra.

Bill Murray arrested for golf cart DUI
Bill Murray was stopped by Swedish police yesterday for drunkenly driving his golf cart back to his hotel. Reuters reports:
Murray was brought to Norrmalm police station, in the north of the city, and given a blood test for alcohol after he refused to take a breath test, said station commander Jan-Olov Lundgren. The American had been stopped while driving the golf cart from Cafe Opera, an upscale restaurant in the center of town, back to his hotel.
A golf cart is one of two vehicles you should be allowed to drive drunk. The thing goes three feet a minute. If you hit somebody with one, they pretty much deserved it for having the reflexes of a tuna sandwich. What's the other vehicle I think you should be allowed to drive drunk? A speeder-bike from Return of the Jedi. I can't go into the details due to pending litigation, but it basically involves myself, an Ewok and a Mai-tai the size of a dishwasher.

DeMarco Murray's debut with the Philadelphia Eagles did not go as expected.
Murray, who led the NFL in rushing last season while with the Dallas Cowboys, had just eight carries for 9 yards in Philadelphia's 26-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
Both the number of carries and yards were startling for a player who had 1,845 yards on 392 carries last season.
"It was a little surprising," Murray said after Wednesday's practice. "But we have a lot of weapons. A lot of individuals need to get the ball, as long as we're winning, I'm fine with it."
The Eagles didn't win, and the running game was a major factor.
Murray was held to 9 yards. Ryan Mathews, the No. 2 back, carried three times for just 4 yards and was stopped for no gain on a third-and-1 in the fourth quarter.
Only Darren Sproles, who is supposed to be more of a receiving back, had a good day running. He had 50 yards on five carries.
"We all have to be on the same page," Murray said. "Atlanta did a good job against the run, bringing an extra defender up in the box at times. We have to do a better job, make some adjustments.
"We're not going to freak out and change a bunch of things. We believe in what we're doing and that we have the right players and the right coaches to get the job done. We'll learn from it and get better from it."
Eagles coach Chip Kelly, who calls the offensive plays, had 52 passes and 16 running attempts on Monday night.
Kelly usually prefers a more balanced approach.
"You're always trying to do what moves the offense," Kelly said before Wednesday's practice. "There are going to be times when we run the ball 60 times and times when we have to pass the ball 60 times. It depends on the game. You don't know if you're going to be up 20-3 or down 20-3. You have to let the game play itself out."
Murray said he understood. He just doesn't want it to become a habit.
"It was a little tough," he said. "But there were good things going in the passing game that brought us back and were obviously working. But you want to get as many rushes as possible, get your hands on the ball."
He faces his former team, the Cowboys, on Sunday. Does he think he'll get the ball more then?
"We'll see," Murray said. "We'll see what happens this weekend."

If there's one time of year when your spice cabinet gets a workout, it's the holidays. Between mulled wine, gingerbread cookies and pumpkin pie, I imagine olfactory glands across the country lighting up as they sniff on cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Ah, joy! Joy smells like spices, don't you think?
Joy to the world!
Well, if you're looking for some ways to sneak some of the inhabitants of your spice cabinet into your Christmas dinner, here are some ideas for you:
1) Mango-Glazed Ham
Pick up a jar of mango chutney from your grocery store, and use that to make a glaze for your cooked ham. Sizzle some crushed cumin and coriander seeds in a little warm oil, add some crushed garlic, then add a healthy dollop of mango chutney along with some mustard and some kind of acid (red wine vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, etc).
2) Salad Dressing
To your traditional oil and vinegar/lemon juice dressing, add some red chile flakes, minced garlic, ground cumin and a pinch of cinnamon. A little honey or maple syrup rounds out the heat.
3) Garam Masala Biscuits
Add a little of this warm Indian spice blend (an incredibly convenient blend of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and black pepper, among others!) to your favourite biscuit dough recipe along with a fresh herb, like chives or cilantro. Especially good when slathered with butter! Another idea? Dried fenugreek leaves. Dang, my mouth is watering!
4) Vegetable Side
Here's one of my favourite ways to dress up a simple vegetable side. Steam (or microwave!) your vegetables, whether they're haricot verts, Brussels sprouts, carrots or even sweet potatoes. Cook them through, and then set them aside. In a large skillet sizzle a cinnamon stick with some garlic, some minced shallots and a dried red chile (or red chile flakes). Once it's fragrant, add your cooked vegetables and toss until evenly coated and warmed through. Finish with chopped pistachios or pine nuts or toasted almonds.
5) Garam Masala-Chocolate-Gingerbread Cookies (pictured above)
Yup. The recipe is here.
Aarti began cooking as a chubby kid, as soon as she realized that in order to satisfy her sweet tooth, she'd have to make dessert. It was only as an unemployed adult that she graduated to cooking other dinner courses, and once she did, she was hooked. Her blog, aartipaarti soon birthed a YouTube cooking-variety show of the same name, shot with her husband in her tiny Los Angeles apartment. After much coercing, she applied for season 6 of Food Network Star, was accepted, competed and won. She now hosts Aarti Party on Food Network, and appears on Cooking Channel's Drop 5 Lbs with Good Housekeeping, Unique Eats and will host a new show, Taste in Translation, that debuts in January of 2013.

A9 TV, 26 May 2012
Like me, our Prophet (saas) asks, "Tell me, do you love me?" And they say, "Yes, we love you very much, Rasulullah." Our Prophet (saas) says, "And I swear that, Allah knows, I love you very much." Look, I did not know that. Our Prophet (saas) does the same thing, masha'Allah. He rejoices in their joy and happiness and says, "I swear that, Allah knows, I love you very much." And he repeats, "I swear that I love you very much." Masha'Allah.
(The American Wall Street Journal published a report saying that instead of allowing Greece, which is possibly about to leave the European Union because of the economic crisis, to join, they should have let the rapidly growing Turkey join. It also said that with its population and potential, Turkey would act as a catalyst for the EU.)
They (the EU) would never agree to that. It is not money they are worried about. There are two reasons. The first is the faith of the Turkish nation. Its Islamic identity. They fear it would soon turn the whole of Europe Muslim. The second is Darwin's ideas that the Turks are a class that will be entirely eliminated, an advanced species of ape, as Darwin said. That is a widespread belief. So they would never agree. They would never agree, no matter how wealthy we were. There is a huge hatred of Turks. There needs to be a special policy of state to get rid of that hatred. Special work needs to be done. They do not say it openly, but they admit it in private conversations. It is something they discuss secretly among themselves. They do not state it openly, but they all know. That needs to be done away with. They are stunned by the faith of the Turkish nation. It terrifies them because that means that nothing will be left of Darwinism and materialism. The truth of the matter is that Turkey is a bastion of creationism. Darwinism enjoys no credence here. Darwinism has been crushed here. From their point of view, they are afraid that if Turkey joins the EU, the pro-faith movement and anti-Darwinist movement in Turkey will be reflected in Europe, too. That is what terrifies them. That is why special work is needed.
"No woman should put nice scents on her clothing when she goes out." Those poor things cannot even use deodorants, so they are left to stink. They make them wretched. Even the smell of soap is not allowed. "Those who wear wigs and false hair are accursed," they say. "Those who pluck their eyebrows are accursed. Those who pluck the hair from their bodies are accursed," they say. It is so sad for women, that the majority of them have to go round with beards and mustaches and huge, hairy eyebrows. That is not right.2012-08-02 11:14:48

HAVING grown up in Australia, Massimo Luongo might not quite have the same emotional attachment to Wembley as many of his Swindon Town teammates but that doesn't mean the midfielder isn't desperate for a chance to turn out at England's national stadium.
Luongo's childhood was spent in Sydney, where football plays fourth or fifth fiddle in the sporting charts to cricket, Aussie rules and both codes of rugby, and the sport does not have a national football arena that can compare to the famous north London venue.
Therefore, the 21-year-old has not developed the same childhood thirst to play on the hallowed turf at Wembley as his English peers but, with his current club just one win from a trip to football's spiritual home, Luongo is as keen as anyone to book his place.
"I didn't really know what Wembley was, it wasn't a big thing for us," he told the Advertiser. "Coming here, people say Wembley is the ultimate stage so it would be nice on the CV. It's a big stadium, it probably suits us more than other teams and I'd look forward to it no matter what. It's a final.
"I think everyone around the world knows about Wembley but there isn't really an equivalent in Australia. It's not something I would look forward to but it's something I want to do in my career. I look at it more as a final. It's a stage to prove ourselves and get a trophy."
Swindon will be without Nile Ranger, Michael Smith, Jamie Reckord, Jay McEveley, Grant Hall and Nathan Thompson for the visit of Peterborough United tonight but Luongo is confident Town have the strength in depth to cope with a bout of mass absenteeism.
"Yaser's back and we've got boys who weren't in the squad who are perfectly capable of filling in," he said. "Raffa (Raphael Rossi Branco) has come into the squad and proved himself and now it's a chance for other boys to come into the squad and shine.
"It's always good to have depth. You might look comfortable keeping your spot but having someone breathing down your neck pushes you. I don't want to lose my spot, I don't think Louis (Thompson) does, and the midfielders coming back are definitely testing us.
"It's different variety, as well, with some of the players coming back. Tijane (Reis) coming back gives us something different on the wing and it's interesting to see how we play, if we play a different style.
"I trust the gaffer will show us a way to play that will suit us for Monday."

I don't recall the first time I heard about Big Bob Gibson and the mayo based bbq sauce for chicken. It was probably on FoodTV. I know it was quite a few years ago. But I was intrigued. I love mayo. So I found a recipe, my husband grilled some chicken and we gave it a try. We enjoyed it. Over the years we have purchased BBG's sauce from BBQ Galore. It was good. But I like my homemade better (less preservatives and other odd stuff). About a year and a half ago we heard BBG was building a restaurant in NC. We were excited. The restaurant has been opened a few months and we decided to give it a try last night. Even though it's about 40 miles from our house, we were excited.
We arrived at BBG's Monroe, NC location for supper. Looks like they cook the meat on premises, based on the wood stacked behind a fence hooked to the restaurant. Restaurant looked ok, the inside was a surprise. It more of a steak house feel (low lighting) than a BBQ joint. We were seated, pursued the menu and ordered. We started with a cup of Brunswick stew. For our entrée I ordered the combo chicken and pulled pork with slaw and potato salad and my husband ordered the combo chicken and brisket with vinegar slaw and fries. We ate our Brunswick stew and enjoyed it. I thought it was very good. After waiting a while the waitress returned and first said the chicken "didn't look right" so they were not serving it but then said they were out. Either way we had to pick something new. We were both very disappointed, as this was the reason we drove out there to eat. But we chose the smoked turkey. Food finally arrived.
First impressions- for the cost of the food, you didn't get very much. I like the smoked turkey. I thought it was good. But I was still disappointed about not getting the chicken. The pulled pork was ok. Not good, not bad. Tasted more like beef than pork. I did not care for BBG's red sauces. The white sauce they brought to table tasted different than I remembered, I think it needed to be refrigerated. The slaw and potato salad were nothing special. My husband did not like his food. His brisket tasted like roast beef. The manager came over and apologized for running out of chicken. He offered a free slice of pie. The pecan pie was excellent. I'm not holding it against them for not having chicken. I understand that things happen. I think chicken must be their claim to fame.
So here are my final thoughts. Would I eat at BBG again? Yes I would. Would I drive 40 miles out of my way? No I would not. But we pass BBG when we go to the beach. So if it were lunch or supper time, I would stop.
I don't claim to be a BBQ expert. I was born and raised on Wilber's BBQ (Goldsboro, NC) and up until the last few years considered it the #1 king. Now I like my husband's version of Eastern NC better. But I would not miss a chance to eat at any Eastern NC venue- Wilber's, Parker's, Scotts, or Allen and Sons. I'm also not a fan of ketchup based BBQ sauce.
If you are in the Monroe, NC area and want brisket. Drive a few miles to Elliot's BBQ in Matthews.

The Sabres have a tough road ahead with four games in a six-day stretch, beginning Sunday when they host the Islanders.

PASADENA, Texas - A shooting in Pasadena that left two people injured was all caught on camera.
Pasadena Police officials said around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, a vehicle with three men inside drove up to the Ark Food Station in the 2000 block of Shaver Street near Allendale.
At some point, shots were fired, officials said.
The entire incident was captured by surveillance cameras posted outside the store. In the video, the car is seen driving up to the store. Moments later, a man gets out on the driver side just before a man on the passenger side falls from the car to the ground. The first man to get out is seen taking off on foot. A third person gets out of the car and appears to be limping.
Police said they captured the person who ran away on foot a short while later.
The two men who were shot were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay, officials said.
So far, no word on any charges.

The kickstarter project for Shroud of the Avatar, has a pledge for $400, which sounds as follows: Want to be a part of the Development process? This is the level for you! Gain access to the private Developer Chat/Forums and help participate in guiding the game (estimated Developer Chat/Forums access in April 2013). You also get to help create a character in the game as well as name them. When everything's said and done, we'll put together a PDF document of various concepts and design documents. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portalarium/shroud-of-the-avatar-forsaken-virtues-0?ref=live I've never really developed a game, but it is my dream to become one at a point, and currently working on an education towards it. What would your assessment be of this "developer" position be? Pros: I like the overall concept of the game, and have a lot of experience with Ultima Online and feel like it has been one of strongest MMORPG's ever, and therefore think I can add something to the game I have played almost all MMORPG's to ever launch on the western market(Including some korean/japanese that never made it to the west) Cons: No idea how much I will get heard, or how they will take in critique/new ideas. $400 (It's not that I can't afford it, and it is something I would like to do, so I could add it to my CV or something silly like that,or I could look at it as an investment of some sort) Edited March 11, 2013 by Helenius 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friends and I have a deal. Probably most women do. If one
of us dies suddenly, the survivors must bleach or eradicate the stray
facial hairs from the deceased. I'm sure men have their own similar
My family has an unspoken agreement that all white elephant
exchange items shall not make it to auction if any of us leaves behind
enough stuff to warrant a sale on that scale. This includes any stray
velvet paintings and the Elvis tapestry that found its way into our
wedding gifts. We've all giggled through enough estate auctions to know
the mixed legacy we could leave behind should the Crying Elvis make it
to a wagon alongside the carnival glass. See, now I'm pretending we
actually have carnival glass — bases covered.
Auctions are
addictive. I attended my first auction, as an adult, around 14 years ago
and was immediately hooked. These events are a study in sociology as
well as anthropology. At its base, each auction is a reflection of at
least one part of a human life, what that person valued or at least
owned at the time that the lot was compiled for auction. There is a
reflection of the era in which they acquired each item. During the sale,
you witness what is sought after in the present. One person's leisure
suit may be another's tuxedo, or visa versa.
Auctions are a sort
of social event. Around Putnam County, you usually see a certain crowd
show up early. They register for bidding, buy their coffee and donuts
from the food truck and fan out in different directions.
here, women and an occasional family unit snag chairs in front of the
jewelry/glassware wagon. Occasionally, they even bid on something. If
it's an estate auction, there is often a group of men hanging around the
power and hand tools, all of them wearing high caps with seed firm and
Caterpillar logos. They kick tires, rifle through boxes of socket
wrenches and then cross their arms to talk in deep monosyllables amongst
Some individuals in both circles will go through lot
boxes and attempt to rearrange and/or switch things from one box to
another. One of my favorite local auctioneers has a hawk's eye for these
shenanigans. His dress-down alone is worth the price of admission. Once
the jewelry and tools are gone, one group of collectors settles their
bill, leaving behind the furniture and appliance shoppers. Unless
there's a car or a house up for bid. If there is an automobile or real
estate on the block, most everyone zeros in on that bid, whether or not
they're putting their number in the ring. For weeks, months, even years
afterward, people will toss out the day they saw so-and-so's Le Sabre
sell for less/more than Blue Book value.
I was on my way into the
office for a couple of hours on Saturday when I saw trucks parked at the
Fairgrounds in Ottawa. One of those little red signs with the arrow on
it came into view. One quick left turn later, I was parked in the
overflow lot. I saw my friend Gabby walking out of the Merchants'
Building with two concrete urns in her arms. It was her first auction,
she said, and she was just buying these for a friend. An hour later, she
was still there. The chair she was interested in had sold for more than
a dollar, her limit.
I remember the days of the dollar limit, Gabby. I left the this weekend's auction with a riding lawnmower with a 50-inch deck.
