EASTER is the time for genuine spring lamb, with its delicate flavor and tender flesh. In the recipe below, the bones from a saddle of lamb are roasted in the oven with vegetables and simmered in white wine and water to make a stock. The stock is reduced to a rich dark sauce, which is flavored with leaves of fresh tarragon. The fillet of lamb, only about three inches in diameter, is browned in a cast-iron skillet and briefly roasted in the oven.
With this dish I like to serve crispy pan-roasted potatoes with baby artichokes and carrots. The vegetables can be cooked on top of the stove and kept warm in the oven while the last-minute roasting of the lamb is done.
For dessert, a childhood favorite of mine from England is rhubarb crumble, which is great with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.
Roast Saddle of Lamb With Tarragon Sauce Total time: 3 hours
1full saddle of lamb (about 10 pounds with bones), boned, with the bones reserved 2carrots, sliced 3stalks celery, sliced 1onion, sliced 1bottle dry white wine 2quarts water 1clove garlic, crushed 2tomatoes, chopped 2sprigs parsley 1sprig fresh tarragon 1teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried) 2bay leaves Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 2tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove any fat from the fillet, wipe the fillet dry with paper towels and set it aside.Continue reading the main story
2. Place the lamb bones in a large roasting pan and roast them until brown (about 20 minutes), turning them from time to time. Add the carrots, celery and onion, spreading them over the bottom of the pan. Roast them for about 20 minutes, turning them occasionally. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the bones and the vegetables and place them in a stock pot.
3. Add the white wine, water, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, tarragon sprig, thyme and bay leaves. Simmer, uncovered, for about an hour or until the juice is reduced by a third. Remove the bones and the vegetables and pour the stock into a smaller pan. Continue reducing until you have only one cup (this may take about 45 minutes). Keep the sauce warm while you cook the lamb. It may be prepared ahead and reheated.
4. Heat a cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the lamb fillet and brown it on all sides. Slide the pan into the oven for 5 to 10 minutes for rare, longer if you want it better done. The lamb fillet is only about three inches across and cooks fast.
5. Slice the lamb fillet very thin and arrange the slices on a serving dish. Taste the lamb and, if it is necessary, add salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce on either side of the lamb slices and sprinkle them with the tarragon leaves.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Pan-Roasted Potatoes With Artichokes and Carrots Total time: 1 hour.
2pounds potatoes, peeled and cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces. 2pounds baby artichokes 1lemon 1/2cup olive oil 1pound baby carrots, cleaned, trimmed and left whole Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 8small cloves garlic, lightly crushed 2tablespoons chopped fresh mint.
1. Steam the potatoes until they are nearly tender. While they are steaming, slice the tops off the artichokes horizontally about a third of the way down and discard them. Trim the outer leaves and stalks from the artichokes. As you trim each artichoke, place it in a bowl of cold water into which you have squeezed the juice of the lemon. This will help stop it from turning brown.
2. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan (or use two if necessary) that will hold the potatoes in one layer. Saute the potatoes with the carrots until golden on all sides, seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil. Slice the artichokes in thirds vertically and saute them with the garlic cloves until golden. Sprinkle them with mint, salt and pepper and add them to the potatoes when they have finished cooking. Toss the vegetables together and serve in a heated dish.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Rhubarb Crumble Total time: 1 1/4 hours
1 1/2cup flour 1/2teaspoon salt 6tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3of a cup light brown sugar 2pounds rhubarb 7tablespoons sugar 1/2teaspoon cardamom seeds.
1. Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. Cut the butter into pieces with a knife and add them to the bowl. Work the butter into the flour with the brown sugar until it has the consistency of cornmeal.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash the rhubarb and slice it into one-inch pieces. You should have six to seven cups. Toss the rhubarb with the sugar and cardamom seeds. Pile it into a nine-inch pie dish.
3. Sprinkle with an even layer of the topping and bake 45 minutes or until the top is browned and the rhubarb is tender. If it browns too fast, cover loosely with foil.
Yield: 6 servings.
Note: This is good with whipped cream, creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream. It can be eaten at room temperature or reheated just before being served.Continue reading the main story

They are said having dinner for two at Gjelina restaurant on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach and enjoying some private time together at the opening of A. Kinney Court store.
Not yet coming clean about the state of their relationship, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been seen enjoying a private date night in Venice Beach on Wednesday, December 16. The two, as reported by E! News, dined at Gjelina restaurant on Abbot Kinney before then taking time to attend the opening of fashion boutique and eyewear store A. Kinney Court next door. Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis and Olivia Wilde were some of the celebs in attendance.
A source who attended the event said, "Robert and Kristen were eating next door and peaked in the window after their dinner as the party was wrapping up." Another eyewitness who spotted the pair told E! News, "Kristen was wearing an old white T-shirt with her hair in a ponytail. Rob was wearing jeans, a tee and a dark coat." The onlooker added, "It looked like they were on a nice stroll through the neighborhood. They seemed really just into hanging together. They weren't holding hands, but were really sweet with each other."
After the A. Kinney Court opening ended at around 10:00 P.M., Robert then headed for Dimples karaoke bar to celebrate his friend Shannon Marie Woodward's birthday. He was accompanied to the bash by singer Katy Perry with Kristen nowhere to be seen.
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, neither Robert nor Kristen has confirmed that they are dating. A spokesperson for Gjelina restaurant declined to confirm the twosome's romantic meal saying, "We wouldn't be able to tell you about that." A representative for Kristen also refused to comment on the report, stating "We don't have a comment, but thank you."

Jana Winderen is an artist educated in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College in London, and with a background in mathematics, chemistry and fish ecology from the University in Oslo. She had an installation in Park Avenue Tunnel, New York City in the summer of 2014 and exhibited at MoMA, NYC in 2013. Jana was recently an artist-in-residence at the TBA21 Academy and releases her audio-visual works on Touch.
In 2011 she won the Golden Nica, Ars Electronica, for Digital Musics & Sound Art. Amongst her activities are immersive multi-channel installations and concerts and has performed all over the world. She currently lives and works in Oslo.
Jana Winderen researches the hidden depths with the latest technology; her work reveals the complexity and strangeness of the unseen world beneath. The audio topography of the oceans and the depth of ice crevasses are brought to the surface. She is concerned with finding and revealing sounds from hidden sources, both inaudible for the human senses and sounds from places and creatures difficult to access.
Click here to read Jana Winderen's biography in full
I like the immateriality of a sound work and the openness it can have for both associative and direct experience and sensory perception. I have been busy searching for sounds from hidden sources, frequencies which are not possible for us to perceive, as well as from places and creatures that are hard to access. Over the last ten years I have collected recordings made by hydrophones, from rivers, shores and the ocean in Asia, Europe and America, from glaciers in Greenland, Iceland and Norway. In the depths of the oceans there are invisible but audible soundscapes, about which we are largely ignorant, even if the oceans cover 70% of our planet. I am also experimenting with different types of microphones to collect sounds which are not obviously recognisable, but give room for broader, more imaginative readings or sounds that are unreachable for the human senses, such as ultrasound. I use these sounds as source material for composition in a live environment or to create installations, also for film, dance, radio, CD, cassette and vinyl productions.

Around My Mother's Table Encourages You to Share Time With Your Loved Ones
Gather Around Your Mother's Table
We were recently sent a copy of Around My Mother's Table: Stories and Recipes Celebrating Lives Lost to Breast Cancer ($16.95 with some proceeds going to breast cancer initiatives), and thought it might make a great Mother's Day gift. It's a sentimental, if not bitter-sweet book that's been created with lots of love.
Editor and compiler Lisa Burton embarked on the project after losing her own mother to breast cancer. Her journey results in a book mixed with 39 stories and recipes from other daughters and sons who've lost their mothers. Unlike other books like this, it really does seem like a celebration, and if you walk away with a message, it will be to cherish the moment.
If the book seems like a macabre choice, then think of it as an excuse to hang out more often. Order a copy and share it with your mom. Then get together and make the recipes, or write down your own family heirlooms. Something tells me mom won't say no to spending more time with her loved ones.

Other News: Senate Rejects Concealed Gun Measure
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: In other news today, gun control advocates won a rare victory in the U.S. Senate. They defeated a proposal allowing people with concealed weapon permits to carry their guns across state lines.
Republican John Thune of South Dakota offered the amendment to a defense spending bill, but it fell two votes short of the 60 needed after the floor debate.
SEN. JOHN THUNE, R-S.D: So it respects the rights of the individual states, but it does allow law-abiding citizens in this country to exercise their constitutional right under the Second Amendment, and that right should not end at state lines. State borders should not be a barrier to an individual's right to defend themselves.
SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN, D-Calif.: This isn't just bad policy; it's extremely dangerous policy. The Thune amendment is designed to undermine the rights of states to determine their own rules and regulations for concealed weapons permits. Here we have people who believe in states' rights, but when it comes to something they really want are willing to pounce on states' rights and destroy them.
JIM LEHRER: Gun rights advocates had won a series of victories until today. Earlier this year, Congress restored the right to carry loaded weapons in national parks, and the Senate voted to erase tough gun control laws in the District of Columbia.
On Wall Street today, the rally in blue chip stocks came to an end. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 34 points to close at 8,881, but the Nasdaq rose 10 points to close at 1,926.
The U.S. will keep to its commitment to withdraw from Iraq within the next two years; President Obama made that pledge to visiting Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki at the White House this afternoon. Later, in the Rose Garden, Mr. Obama said the success of the U.S. transition out of Iraq remains a top priority.
BARACK OBAMA, U.S., President: This transition was part of our security agreement and should send an unmistakable signal that we will keep our commitments with the sovereign Iraqi government. We'll move forward with our strategy to responsibly remove all American combat brigades from Iraq by the end of next August and to fulfill our commitment to remove all American troops from Iraq by the end of 2011.
JIM LEHRER: Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, bomb attacks killed two U.S. troops and one British soldier in the south. At least 33 Americans and 19 Britons have died in Afghanistan this month, the most since the war there began in 2001.
The longest solar eclipse expected this century sent much of Asia into daytime darkness today. It began in India just after dawn and from there became visible eastward across China and Japan.
Hundreds of millions of people turned out to witness the event. Many used special safety glasses to view it; others prayed or stayed indoors fearing a bad omen. In some places, the eclipse lasted more than six-and-a-half minutes.

Mauser ES340B
Hi All,
I recently inherited a few rifles from my Dad. One I found way in the back of the cabinet in an old green canvas bag caught my eye. After trying to thoroughly research it I believe I have a nice ES340B. It has a 1932XX s/n, BUG proofs and all s/n's match. It needs a cleaning but it looks to be in very nice shape. I snapped a couple of quick pics (links below). I will clean it and take better ones as soon as I have a chance. I'm hoping that someone here has a copy of the Mauser Small Bore book and can give me an idea as to the year it was mfg.
I have a large number of .22 rifles but none with as heavy and nice of a barrel. I think it would be fun to scope it and see what kind of long range accuracy I can get out of it. It appears to have some collector value so I don't want to do anything to ruin it so if you know what kind of rings I could put on the rail without damaging it I'd appreciate that info as well. I'm not a serious collector of anything specific yet I appreciate my guns for what they are and I generally like to keep them in their stock configurations. That said I've always wanted to have a long range .22 that can pluck a squirrel off a branch at 200+ yards. If it would be better to find a new owner who would appreciate this rifle and take the funds and purchase something else I'm if fine. But if you all say throw the scope on and shoot it I'm good with that as well.

TONY PULIS believes that Stoke City can draw encouragement from their current position in the top half of the Barclays Premier League table . . . and their performance in last weekend's defeat at the Emirates Stadium.
Pulis' side will be looking for their first Premier League win of 2013 when they take on an in-form Reading side at the Britannia Stadium this weekend after a tough spell in which they have taken two points from five matches.
In contrast to City's dip in fortunes, Reading have boosted their survival hopes since Christmas with a string of impressive results to lift them out of the bottom three after the finding the going tough in the first half of the season.
Therefore, Pulis is expecting another difficult game, but he said: "Despite the spell that we've had, we're still tenth in the League.
"We have to look at that very much in a positive way. It would certainly be lovely to finish in tenth spot come the end of the season.
"That's where we are now, so we want to push on and get more points on the board. But there are no easy games, whether you are playing teams at the top, bottom or in mid-table. That's why it's the toughest League in the world."
He added: "The performance at Arsenal was what we needed. I am sure that it will have given the lads a lot of confidence.
"I was desperately disappointed for the players after the final whistle because they certainly didn't deserve that result."
Pulis believes that the contrasting fortunes of both his side and Reading over the past few weeks has shown how quickly things can change.
"It's only a few weeks ago that we were on a long unbeaten run and Reading were being written off," commented City's manager.
"They've had a few decent results and all of a sudden, they're out of the relegation zone and everybody's saying they'll stay up.
"That's how quickly it can change, especially in the Premier League where so many clubs are compatible. Outside of the top four or five, everyone is capable of beating anyone; there's very little to choose between us all."
He added: "Reading have put together a great run of results over the past month which has probably surprised a few people. That has shown they have real spirit because they've scored so many goals late in games.
"I've watched their last three matches and they've set up differently to how they were playing in the first half of the season. They're a lot more difficult to break down now and they have got good pace in the wide areas."
*Tickets are still available for the visit of Reading and this is a Category B game for ticket prices.
These can be booked online at scfcdirect.com or over the telephone through the Ticket Office Hotline on 01782 367599.
Alternatively, they can be purchased in person at the Britannia Stadium Ticket Office or at the Club Store in the Potteries Shopping Centre.

Super Cruise: Queen of the Mississippi Cruise Review by carmella33298
Overall Member Rating
Super Cruise
Destination: USA
Embarkation: New Orleans
The cocktail hour each evening had anything you wish to drink and I mean from A to Z. When you went, you walked in and went over to the bar, they remember you from the night before as well your drink of choice...and even had it poured before we ordered. The hors d'oevres were sumptuous and were served throughout the entire hour, and the variety was great -- we had so much to choose from. Also, the breakfast service on our balcony was a nice touch. In fact, the same breakfast menu offered in the dining room was available on our balcony. On other cruises we've taken, the room service menu was limited, but this was certainly not the case aboard Queen of the Mississippi. Everything was available to More us.
Our stateroom was very large, fitting a queen size bed, full dresser, night stands and a sitting area. Getting around was very easy.
Aboard the cruise, a riverlorian was present, and she was very knowledgeable of the Mississippi and our ports of call, and gave terrific explanations of landmarks and sights. We saw the Vicksburg battlefields from the Civil War on a bus tour which the riverlorian joined us on. She did a great job narrating and pointing out everything notable. Incidentally, the riverlorian's husband was aboard Queen of the Mississippi playing the banjo and he too was fabulous.
Summing up our experience, it was wonderful. There's not a negative thing to say about our cruise. The ship was beautiful as were the ports of call. And the crew, as I mentioned before, was fabulous. They really made the cruise. We can't wait to go again. Less

um, did you read my long message on a collaborative-filtering system?
a "majority rating system" is the _exact_opposite_ of what i'm talking about.
such a system ignores what "everyone else" thinks and finds the people whose
ratings profile highly correlates with yours, not matter how rare they might be.
it finds that guy in antarctica who is one of the 241 people in the world like you
on that one particular book. how else are you _ever_ going to find that guy?
> what I look for is a publisher (Farrar, Straus; Pantheon; the old New Directions)
> and a reviewer whose taste I trust and I use them as guides.
exactly. that's what the collaborative-filtering system does, except it does it
by analyzing _many_millions_ of ratings from other people, which means that
(a) it has a better chance of finding someone whose taste is like yours, and
(b) it does all the work for you so you can just sit back and glean its results.
so, better quality of results (including pointers to lots of material that you'd
never ever encounter otherwise), and with absolutely no work on your part.
tell me what's not to like about that?
and please don't think i'm trying to "convince" you. this system will emerge
whether you "agree" with me or not, and will prove itself to millions of people
with extremely specific ratings (within two-tenths of a point on a 1-10 scale)
that prove to be uncannily accurate in predicting our own reactions to content.
and, like any iterative process, when it _is_ wrong, that info will make it smarter.
the end result will be that tomorrow's people will spend _zero_ time _searching_
for high-quality content -- material that _they_ consider to be "high-quality",
even if very few other people in the world agree with them -- yet they will be
_inundated_ and _overwhelmed_ with it, with most of it being offered for free.
and in _that_ kind of world, publishers who put d.r.m. on their celebrity bios
and clones of last year's bestsellers, and charge high prices for that rubbish,
will be reduced to laughing-stock status. might as well be tower records...

Shop Custom Adhesive Notepads
If you're sitting at a desk right now, chances are very good you're looking at one or more (or many) adhesive notes stuck to your monitor, your bulletin board, or your cubicle wall. Since its invention in 1974, the adhesive note (or "sticky note" or Post-It®, as the original 3M brand is called) has been our favorite way to keep track of reminders, important points of information, or random thoughts. The low-tack, reusable adhesive on the back of the notes means they can be placed almost anywhere, removed, and placed almost anywhere else.
Sticky notes come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors beyond the standard canary-yellow squares with which we're mostly familiar. Being paper, promotional adhesive notepads are able to take many configurations of graphics and colors. While most notes take a logo and information on the top and/or bottom in order to leave room for writing, an option called "ghosting" or "fade" can lay an image on the entire surface at 6-10% resolution, clear enough to see but faint enough to write on. Another option for including more striking graphics is the notepad cube, which permits a bold graphic on all four sides.
One very important thing to remember about adhesive notes is that while the adhesive is remarkably versatile and can attach to virtually any surface, one surface it does not bond well with is the laminate covering white dry-erase boards, so avoid posting anything on a dry-erase board that you want to keep.
This is the standard-size notepad, usually 3″x3″ square or 4″x3″ rectangular, handy for jotting down notes, numbers, or reminders. These notepads are a perfect size for a visible logo and company information while leaving plenty of writing area to make them indispensable for everyday use.
This item carries many advantages to go with its slightly higher unit price. Not only does each individual note carry your logo and/or message, but there are many more notes in a cube and the shape allows for photo-quality images on all four sides, a great way to ensure visibility even when the note cube is not in use.
A useful alternative to the square sticky note is an imprinted pad 4?x6? or 3?x8?, for longer messages and lists. Available lined or unlined, these notepads will get a lot of use, particularly as to-do lists, and thus generate a lot of impressions.
For your customers who might need sticky notes on the go, we offer several options for providing easy portability for their notes and your logo. These packets of standard-sized adhesive notes, along with flags for marking important places in books and paperwork, are available in matchbook-style envelopes and leather-like cases that take a logo nicely.
Another option for long-term visibility are desk dispensers for sticky-notes which are fan-folded for easy access. As simple to use and reload as a tape dispenser, these items will stay in a handy and visible place on your customers' desks, generating impressions and goodwill every time your client needs to make a note.
Another use for adhesive notes is as a handy way to issue coupons. If your business makes a practice of issuing point-of-purchase or ad hoc coupons, having adhesive pre-printed pads at every desk or register will prove cost-effective and convenient.
There are several variables to consider when ordering adhesive notepads from InkHead, such as:
In addition to the tried-and-true White and Canary Yellow, InkHead carries custom adhesive notepads in a variety of colors, such as Blue, Green, and Pink. If you have a promotion that requires a specific color of notepad, chances are InkHead has it. Remember to use the Item Colors filter to view only those promotional notepads that meet your specific color requirements.
Chances are you know adhesive notepads by the most prevalent brand name on the market, Post-It Notepads. In addition to notepads from Post-It, InkHead also carries several notepads from BIC, another big name in stationery. You can use the Brand filter to view just those notepads of a certain brand.
If you're planning a promotion around Earth Day or some other "green" holiday, InkHead has a number of Eco-Friendly Custom Notepads available. Don't forget that you can use the Eco-Friendly filter to view only eco-friendly adhesive notepads. Eco-Friendly notepads are also noted with a green leaf icon in the product gallery.
The decoration method used to imprint custom notepads varies by product, so make sure to consult the item description to see which type of imprint method will be used for your item. Some of our notepads are decorated through a simple silk screen, whereas others take a pad imprint. We also offer a number of full-color adhesive notepads, most frequently implemented through a four-color process. If you are looking for a full-color notepad, be sure to use the Multi Color Imprint filter to view only those items that can take a full-color imprint.
Because sticky note pads get used, posted, and passed around so often in the course of a business day, a simple logo and slogan should suffice. Many businesses make the mistake of trying to pack too much information onto their notes, which reduces the writing area and therefore makes their pads less likely to get used.
If it is vital to include graphics and text that won't fit along the top or bottom or in the corners of the writing area, then we recommend the note cube, which provides a large imprint area on the sides and enough sheets that it will take even the most die-hard end-user some time to use enough notes to intrude upon the side images.
As with any of our promotional products, our Promotions Specialists are ready to help you with the selection and purchasing process at any and every step of the way.
Most of the notepads available from InkHead can be produced and in hands within about 3 weeks, with many of those items available in less time than that. Be sure to use the Production Time filter to show only those products that can produced within a specific time frame, such as Less than 3 Days or Less Than 10 Days.
The key to ensuring a quick turnaround for your order is having your artwork in vector format and a valid credit card. Remember, we do not begin send your order to manufacturing until we have your final art approval, so be sure to approve your virtual proof once you've received it.
If your promotion requires a quicker turnaround time, not to worry. InkHead carries a selection of FREE 24 hour rush production adhesive notepads. Alternatively, you can also use the Free Rush Production filter to show only those custom adhesive notepads that can be produced within 24 hours.
Although most of our custom adhesive notepads require a minimum quantity of 500 pads, we offer several notepads with lower minimum quantities, so be sure to check the description of the item you're considering to see the minimum quantity required. Also, most of our notepads must be ordered in certain increments, so be sure to pay attention to the quantity listing.
Ready to order some promotional adhesive notepads? Have a question about this product? Please contact us. We can take your order over the phone or answer any questions you may have.

A HOST of celebrities are backing organ donation as we urge Boltonians to Sign Up To Save Lives.
TV presenter and ex-model Katie Piper received a cornea from an organ donor after an horrific acid attack left her blind in one eye and needing a skin graft operation.
She joins Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, TV presenter Ruth Langsford and actor Wil Johnson as public figures to have signed the organ donor register.
Miss Piper said: "Letting your loved ones know you want to be an organ donor is so important.
"My cornea came from an organ donor, and if he had not told his friends and family he wanted to be a donor, my life would be very different today.
"It is devastating for families when someone they love dies, so it's not fair to expect them to have to make the decision for you."
The Bolton News is campaigning ahead of next month's Transplant Games in the town to get 5,000 people to sign the register.
Dr Wirin Bhatiani, NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) chairman, has signed the register and is backing our campaign.
Dr Bhatiani said: "This is vitally important as organ donation really does save lives. There are thousands of life-saving transplant operations every year.
"The CCG will be supporting the British Transplant Games when it comes to our borough and we are backing The Bolton News campaign to get as many people as possible to register as an organ donor.
"It's quick and easy to join — I have done it myself."
On average, three people a day die in need of an organ transplant in the UK because there are not enough organs available, with about 10,000 people currently in need of an organ transplant.
Miss Tweddle, who won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics, said: "My uncle had a transplant and it transformed his life.
"Seeing him recover is what sparked me to become a donor. It gave him a second life, and I know that my family and I would be willing to do the same for someone else."
To Sign up to Save Lives go to the NHS organ donor register at organdonation.nhs.uk, call 0300 123 23 23 or text SAVE to 62323.

We were in a relationship for 12 years, married for 4 and I left him because of his drinking. I wanted him to realize that he had a good woman. I packed and left with the kids. None of which are his and he was mad that I just left with no notice. Then he moved out of our house and in with his sister. He says that he loves sex with me and that he still finds me attractive although I don't feel that way right now. He filed for divorce 2 months after I left, I signed the papers and sent them back. But I miss him like crazy I never thought he would have filed for divorce. He tells me that he is still very attracted to me and that he will always be there for me but he can't be in a relationship with me. He is worried that I will sleep with someone else, but assures me that he isn't looking to sleep with anyone but me I don't believe him. Is there hope?
What does it mean when my ex husband only wants sex from me?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? Loose him obviously you and your kids werent good enough to get him to go to AA. Of course he wants you to not be with someone else. If you did that you might like it and leave him. You do sound like a good woman but don't be stupid for HIM. REMEMBER HE IS YOUR EX for a reason!00|00|0
Thanks. I've heard that before. I am trying, I just feel like such a whiner right now. The drinking was a problem and that is why I left him. You are right, I have been trying to get back into myself. I just started working out again, to help with energy... excited about that. Thanks again!
What Girls Said 1
You left him because of his drinking. Did he get sober? If not, you'll find yourself right back in the same scenario with an alcoholic. Why would you want a FWB sexual relationship with your ex? Sounds like a lose-lose heartbreaking dynamic.
My advice is to put your hopes in finding a man who can provide a more fulfilling, healthy relationship.00|00|0
No, he still drinks. I think that when I left and he didn't care about it, it hurt me. I guess it backfired or something. Then he immediately filed for divorce, didn't see that coming at all. He didn't even want to discuss anything. I guess I was shocked by it, but I am sent the divorce papers back signed, I am hurt but I know that I can't fight for something that the other person isn't feeling. I guess it was flipped around on me and I am the one hurt now. Thx for responding!
Well, good for you for walking away from an alcoholic. But the thing is that you cannot change him. And if he chose booze over you, you need to accept that. I'm sorry, it must be a tough one for you. But he's still saying he doesn't want a relationship with you, only the benefits. Not cool!
It has been a slow process but I do know that I can't change him. He did choose to drink when I told him that I couldn't take it anymore. It will get better, it hasn't even been six months yet. Thanks again. You and jdmguy really made sense to me and I appreciate the complete honesty.

So you're feeling pretty good about your digital strategy, eh John or Jane Brand Marketer? Sure, you've had a website for years and it's all optimized. You've metabolized every social channel that has come into the mix and grown communities on all of them. Hell, you staked out some territory on The Fancy before it was in the news. For the parts of your business that demand apps, you've got apps – both iOS and Android (and maybe Windows next year!).
In the physical world, you're starting to dabble in digital out-of-home and have started integrating interactivity into your retail spaces. Your agency roster is tight, and on the best of days there are ideas that get created by a mix of your traditional and digital agencies way upstream of execution.
If the above paragraph describes you, congratulations. It means you're kind of rocking it and you're certainly way out in front of your peers. It also means that you've learned how quickly digital changes and why if you fall asleep at the wheel you'll quickly cede your leadership position (I'm talking to you RIM, Yahoo, Digg, and MySpace) to nimbler players.
The next wave? Omni-channel.
Omni-channel is definitely an iteration of multi-channel, and the good news is that this part of our industry has a tremendous amount of white space; nobody is doing a particularly good job, and that means opportunity, hopefully for you.
So what's the difference between multi-channel and omni-channel? It's all about awareness, consistency, and tracking. Multi-channel means that your brand is on all of the key channels mentioned above, and for many marketers, that alone has been a significant challenge. Ensuring that your brand can reach potential and existing customers on every channel takes some work. Doing so in a way that's customized and optimized for each medium takes significant planning, a smart digital strategy, and strong execution.
Omni-channel first became an important concept for retailers over the last year. When faced with the data below that crystalized just how few consumers planned their shopping "mostly in brick and mortar stores" (12 percent), retail stores have begun the process of trying to retool their systems to link activities among offline shopping and the many digital channels.
But it has become an important idea for more than just retail businesses. Every marketer needs to move beyond guessing at cross-channel digital ROI and start building a holistic understanding of the consumer behavior path.
With omni-channel, each platform needs to have awareness of the other. The website needs to know what experience you've had on Facebook or Pinterest, how you've interacted with the brand's apps, and what kind of in-store digital experiences you might have had.
The experience needs to be seamless. With awareness of what a consumer is doing, marketers can start to tell a continuous story that plays out whenever and wherever the consumer interacts with the brand. The premise here is that customers and targets are going to move from platform to platform on a regular basis, often to perform the same task, and that they have expectations that their behavior in one place will influence the experience in another.
The last key piece is reporting and data, and it's the most significant infrastructure issue around this whole idea. Awareness and seamlessness are only made possible by building a sophisticated consumer profile and being rigorous about adding to it at every turn. We hear so much about "big data" and all of the data collection that goes on, but we find most of our clients are looking at the data in a limited way rather than using it to build a dynamically updating database. In a business that's already dominated by performance marketing (site optimization, monetization modeling, SEO, and paid search), omni-channel means paying even more attention to tagging and reporting, building or using agencies that have monetization models, and then pulling all of the data together to form a profile.
That means a lot of coordination between IT and marketing – not always the best of friends in many siloed marketing organizations. It also means that marketers need to think of what they're doing more as a series of products and less like a series of messages.
As I mentioned earlier, most companies are trying to put in the omni-channel infrastructure and as a result we haven't seen significant success yet. The best predictor for omni-channel success is marketers who have shown real distinction in multi-channel:
- Starbucks has taken a thoughtful and proactive approach in expressing its brand across multiple channels – in its retail stores, website experience, co-branded and franchise store model, branded product model, and on mobile devices. In expressing its brand identity across traditional media like broadcast, print, and banner advertising, seasonal and product-specific merchandising efforts consistently provide a fresh perspective without diluting the master brand. Recently, in the mobile space, Starbucks has leveraged its strong CRM system to offer a fresh perspective on rewards systems that has revolutionized how dedicated Starbucks customers get their daily coffee. The company was able to leverage great branded utility in the mobile space not only to entice customers to join its loyalty program, but to get them to initiate purchases from within that system. Now, all you need to have is your phone when you run out to get your fix. Starbucks' efforts to become involved in local and community efforts near retail store locations echoes its efforts within online social communities, where the company has a strong presence and following on the social web: over 11,000 followers on Pinterest – just slightly fewer than Disney (13,000) – a branded YouTube channel, and a strong and active presence on Facebook and Twitter.
- Macy's has been lauded for having embraced and invested early in online and in digital merchandising and marketing capabilities. Its email programs, for example, leverage data across channels as well as outside data to deliver nearly individualized campaigns that feel "just for me." Macy's is further experimenting with cross-brand innovations such as the "Beauty Spot" for in-store digital (designed by my company) – again focusing on the consumer rather than the manufacturers. Also in-store, Macy's leverages multiple digital channels simultaneously – linking celebrity content, loyalty programs/past purchases, QR codes, and targeted mobile offers. This has provided a differentiated and enhanced shopping experience that helps guard against show-rooming and enhances collected customer data.
- Apple has proven to be top of class in online, retail, mobile, and digital sales/delivery. By owning the account through the Apple ID and digital checkout at point-of-sale in stores, Apple is regularly able to close the loop between digital sales and retail store sales. The company has succeeded in making its stores a destination – not only through excellent design but by delivering a unique customer service, education, and support experience. Despite this massive success across many channels, Apple has hardly engaged socially with its customers at all and is missing a significant piece of an otherwise very strong consumer relationship.
So again, congratulations on moving past "fishing where the fish are." We all now know that the fish are everywhere, and that's where we have to be as well. But we must do so in a coordinated, thoughtful way, where the multiple "everywheres" share information on a continuous basis as part of an overarching system. By bringing this type of an omni-channel strategy to bear, you'll see results in attribution and influence that will dramatically affect your decisions on where and how to spend your budget.

While studying Scheme, I had wondered how 'begin' might reduce to something simpler. While reading "Lambda: The Ultimate Imperative", I see that in Scheme, because of eager evaluation (aka call-by-value aka applicative order), lambda can be used to model imperative statements. So, these expressions are equivalent (each prints 'abc'): (begin (display 'a) (display 'b) (display 'c)) ((lambda (x) ((lambda (x) (display 'c)) (display 'b))) (display 'a)) Is this the right way to understand begin? To implement it?

Swindon mayor Nick Martin has spoken out following the findings of a report by the standards committee into remarks he made about disabled people.
The committee resolved to find councillor Martin (Con, Shaw) had breached the members' code of conduct over an remark about disabled people last year.
He said he accepted he used insensitive language and was apologetic.
Speaking to the Adver he said: "I have apologised for using a word I shouldn't have. I will publically apologise has I have been asked to and I will continue to apologise. I don't know how many more times I can say it but I will continue to do so.
"I used a word I shouldn't have and I am sorry. It was a word used when I was growing up but I accept it was wrong."
He also said he was now considering his position as mayor.
"As Mayor I cannot get involved in political campaigning which is something I enjoy. I am considering my future as a Mayor but if I do stand down it will be to campaign rather than over this issue," Coun Martin said.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"HOLY SHIT! Why aren't you wearing a shirt? Go put a Shirt on! You look like 200lbs of bird shit!"
"There are no words."
"This guy treats objects like women, man."
Tom Anderson is a man, he knows nothing, he talks all the time, the result is he's a trenchant buffoon, he has no idea how to take digital photographs nor has an even rudimentary understanding of how the internet works, he looks ridiculous in that fashion-wear, he swans around all the time hoping that people will recognize him, when in fact no-body's even remotely interested, he's taken up enough of this wiki already and he hasn't even opened his mouth, god knows why he's here, I don't know anything about the guy and I care even less, and for all I know he may well be a bit of a cocoa shunter too. So, about Tom Anderson. Oh, wait, it appears I have just accidentally typed the introduction to that godawful website SiDoes. Oh well.
edit Early Years
In 1966, SiDoes gained recognition after it's owner, Si, was voted the World's Number One Internet Lack of Personality for being "A smarmy maggot who's so full of himself he hasn't realized he's getting on a bit and everyone around him is wondering who this over-the-hill, sexist, disgusting toss pot is who flomps around events with no shirt on, desperately craving some sort of attention that would turn up the nose of even the likes of Corey Delaney." He received this astonishing accolade basically for doing nothing with his life except stalking celebrities then standing next to, or, in more extreme cases, holding the girl like he's just married the poor thing. Seriously, this man calls himself a photographer, but he's in the photo as much as his unfortunate subject, and then, to make matters even worse, he's oiled his aging, steroid filled skin up more than the model and does this rancid, eighties Hasselhoffian pose that leaves you feeling very ill for days.
edit Critical Acclaim
In 2007, Si accidentally stumbled upon a Matalan in the outskirts of his hometown, Barnsley. On entrance to this strange new world, Si discovered that he could finally afford a shirt. He then discovered some even more amazing things. On his way home, he was no longer stopped by members of the general public and asked if he was homeless, and even better, he was no longer bundled into the back of a Police van, beaten and tagged when he walked past local schools! Sadly, Si was not to enjoy his seeing of sense long.
edit Death
On his way home from Matalan, Si was struck by a Volvo Hearse. Due to the Hearse being used for a funeral at the time it was not going at excessive speed, but Si did not recover. His steroid and crack cocaine fueled bloodstream went into meltdown, and he spontaneously combusted eighteen times.
Nobody cared about Si's death and even fewer attended his funeral. The site is still up to this day, left to rot on the putrid, crusty cesspool of the arse end of the world wide internet.
SiDoes is not to be mistaken with GLaDOS, a completely different entity altogether.

19 June 2010
On a warm and sunny Saturday evening there is very little news to report on the Islanders front. That being said here is alittle light weekend reading, here is an interview i did with the Russian sports website Sports.ru. It's a very rough translation from google translator, but the general idea is still there. Here is the link to the original article in russian and a link to the translated page. So without further ado here is my interview;
Islanders. Afterword
Will John Tavares of New York, Steven Stemkosom? What about Rick DiPietro? Waiting for a Long Island Kirill Petrov? On the questions of "Epicenter" said author Islandershockeyblog Christian Ern.
- Last summer the composition of the Islanders has been strengthened a number of interesting hockey. Admit it, deep down inside you were hoping that the "natives" could be the opening of the season?
- No one expected that the Islanders will be competing for a place in the playoffs, so that in the middle of the season, the team kept in the cup eight, is a pleasant surprise. However, everything fell into place after the break for the Olympics. Islanders fell closer to the bottom of the standings table, again received a high choice in the NHL Draft. It's not so bad, and compared to last season the team played much better.
- Many likened John Tavares with Sidney Crosby, waiting from beginner Islanders same sverhrezultativnoy game. Crosby, recall, received more than 100 points in the first season, but Tavarez hardly crossed the 50 mark.
- I think that the comparison with John Crosby and Gretzky were not quite correct. I think that for a beginner Tavares played decently - he scored 20 odd goals, scored over 50 points. It's great to show yourself at the world championship, threw seven washers, and many fans are hoping that next year, John will repeat the path Stemkosa. He is also not too impressive debut season has brightly played at the World Championships, and then chop 50 goals. Maybe fifty washers Tavarez and not abandoned, but thirty of it should put to ease.
One of the downsides of John, which he must necessarily correct, it is skating. However, knew about it before the draft, and, given the ambitions of Tavares, have no doubt that in the off-season he would devote much attention to this aspect. Another disadvantage - weak implementation of moments. He should score more and more stable. In the middle of the season, Tavares was goalless series of 12 matches, during which he obstuchal all the bars and missed a lot of opportunities. Above this he will also have to work on.
- "Tampa Bay" performed slightly better than the Islanders, but at the end of the season, its owner and dismissed genmenedzhera, and head coach . Can Garth Snow and Scott Gordon feel safe?
- At 100 per cent sure that neither Snowe nor Gordon anywhere not disappear. Club Owner Charles Wang does not intend to depart from the scheduled plan, he, like the fans, trust head coach. Scott Gordon - a young specialist, who quickly gains experience. He ran in the NHL just two years, but had managed to get Ron Wilson's assistant at the Olympics and the head coach of Team USA at the World Championships . In my opinion, it deserves respect, let the Americans and the failure of Germany. Hart Snow also did not worry.
- Before dedlaynom Garth Snow could not part with a number of experienced players, but, say, Biron from the team did not go. Surely it can not be beneficial exchange, because in July, he will still leave the club?
- I do not understand why Snow was so passive in front dedlaynom. During the same Sutton could get more decent compensation, and not simply Draft peak of "Ottawa" . As for the other players, then it is rumored that Roloson could be traded in Chicago, who was looking for goalie before the playoffs, but the Islanders have decided not to let him or Biron for Rick DiPietro. Nobody knew where he was again injured.
- If the Toronto collecting costly defense, the Islanders in the Tabor goalkeepers. You do not find a little strange that a team that spent on the goalies more than 8 million dollars, was the third from the end of the number of missing spacers in the season?
- Problems Rick DiPietro health had become tired all the fans of the Islanders. This is understandable, it is not just about money or some kind of antipathy towards the goalkeeper. He was waiting, all hoping for the return of DiPietro. But nobody can say how he will feel tomorrow. Rick can do shataut, and then disappear for several weeks due to injury. The club have to solve this problem by putting in front of the goalkeeper ultimatum. Or he heals all sores, gaining form and becomes the first number "islanders", or his contract will be bought. Although, honestly, in this hard to believe. On the other hand, great that the disposal of Gordon had two first-class goalkeeper Roloson and Byron, as the year before the gates Islanders protected backups MacDonald and Danny. Any good if it has not resulted. Most likely, the summer Snow again have to look goalkeeper - understudy Roloson.
- In winter, the Islanders were interested in Ilya Kovalchuk , but in the end, he was in "Devils". According to you, Garth Snow did not give up the idea with the acquisition of Russians?
- He, like genmenedzhery remaining 29 clubs in the NHL, would like to see in their Kovalchuk. But if you look at things realistically, that Ilya did not agree to a transition to the Islanders. Either he will sign a contract with the club, who will claim victory in the Stanley Cup next year, or return to Russia, where he was offered big money.
- In the "natives" listed many Russian prospects. For example, a defender Anton Klement'ev and forward Kirill Petrov . How you debut Klementjeva in the NHL, and what awaits him next season?
- He spent a couple of matches at the end of the championship, replacing injured defenders. Not to say that Anton shone in those games, but the weather did not spoil. However, I see no place for him in the first team for next season - perhaps Klementjeva will be called from AHL from time to time. I do not see, due to what he can gain a foothold at the base, and do not be surprised if Anton will be playing for the farm club and a year later. Klement'ev has dramatically added to coaches drew attention to it.
- Petrov? In the team now, so many young people - Tavares, Okposo, Bailey, Moulson, and whether she needed another striker novice?
- Islanders are generally not from anyone to refuse, especially when it comes to the young forward. I must say that he looked forward to the club, everyone is interested to look at how Cyril manifest itself in a summer camp for beginners. I heard a lot about Petrov, but the truth, almost did not see it in action. In any case, now "the natives" have no right to dissipate avenues. For many years the club was trying to achieve success through exchanges. During this time, the Islanders lost a lot of Draft-peaks. Okposo, Bailey, and Moulson will continue to progress, and I expect that next season they will be even brighter. Kyle afford to score 25 goals, Bailey - capable striker who can play on the flank and in the center. Tavares, Moulson .... They have the experience, were older and wiser, and around them you can build a good team.
- Rumor has it that in the NHL Draft Islanders pick defender Brendan Gormley. Is this true?
- Most likely, it will Gormley. He's going to come to New York this week to meet with the leadership of the club, talk to Gordon and Snow. We can not discard the option of Kemom Fowler, if he will be available. Also at the NBA Draft a lot of bright forwards, and I would not be surprised if, in the end, the Islanders pick Brett Connolly or Vladimir Tarasenko. This is a win-win options, although the team did not have enough defenders.
- Who was the best player on the team in a season, and who - the main disappointment?
- Dwayne Roloson . Thanks to him, the Islanders kept until the last chance for the playoffs. He was the best team, always bailed partners, so that his choice is clear.
A disappointment I would call Brendan Witt . I was not expecting anything special from him, and when in the second half of the season, he had disappeared, I even thought that he was exchanged and put on Draft failures. It is possible that Witt - the main disappointment is not only the Islanders, but the entire league.
- Ballast in the form of a contract of Alexei Yashin is still pressing on the team. Something can be done about this, or the Islanders just have to wait and wait and wait again?
- Nothing else to do. We'll have to pay Yashin a few years, correcting the mistakes of former leaders. Unfortunately, in addition to Yashin, there is also DiPietro, who is also a long-term contract.
- In the end, perhaps the main question - what will the team's next? She has money, young players, promising coach and so on. What should be done Garth Snow to return the "natives" in the elite league, or at least bring them to the playoffs in the spring of 2011-th?
- In the off-season, the Islanders need to find a good goalkeeper and defender homebody. Snow, of course, try to invite Kovalchuk, but hardly his efforts to lead to something, and the team a lot of promising forwards. The main objective - to strengthen the defense. The Islanders' is not enough experienced and reliable player in this line. Roloson will remain in New York for another season, but he was already 40 years old, and, given the fact that Biron will leave the team next summer, the Islanders' risk of losing their goalkeepers. For it is well worth attention.

Nomad cattle herders have killed five villagers in clashes that displaced 3 500 in the northern Batangafo region of the Central African Republic, a local security official said Thursday.
"The fighting between villagers and Peul herdsmen has lasted for three days in Batangafo and left five dead," said a member of the paramilitary police who asked not to be named.
"These clashes have led to the displacement of more than 3 500 people who have set themselves up in the town of Batangafo itself (...) in search of possible housing and food. Since structures to take them in are nonexistent, the return of the rains could expose them to illness," the source added.
"At the same time each year clashes break out between these communities, because of the presence of herds of cattle (...) which devastate crops. In reprisal, the local people slaughter several cattle, arousing the anger of the nomads," a local administrative source said.
Earlier in May, at least three people were killed in similar circumstances at Bozoum in the northwest of the country. At the end of April, similar clashes left three herders dead in the Batangafo region. – Sapa-AFP

Pirated apps show up in BlackBerry App World
about a dozen apps up on App World that he had apparently stolen from Google Play Store. That number is down to about three now, but the developer is still receiving calls from BlackBerry users who had paid three times the price on BlackBerry from the price he charges on Google.
If you are a developer who writes for the Google Play Store, it might be a good idea to check BlackBerry App World to see if someone else is profiting from the fruits of your labor. And by the way, the suspected thief's account with BlackBerry remains active.

find the thief and ask for the money. it shouldn't be that hard to trace him.

Wow what a shame, but very impressive seeing how someone converted these apps and is now making g money off them. LMAO probably a 16 year kid with no friends :P

so devs needs to work their butts off and legally port their android apps to the blackberry!! esecially that BlackBerry 10 is coming and it will support android apps!!
4. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
They dont even need to work their butts off, since it is relatively easy to port the app. Sometimes its just something as simple as converting it from an APK to BAR file, then contacting Blackberry for publishing to App World. Why more developers havent done this is beyond me.

Great app, it can help to trace all the stolen money which is stolen by the thief.

The liberal arts portion of a journalism education
Model Curricula for Journalism Education is a 150-page document produced by UNESCO and published in 2007. Its contents are based on work done in 2005 by an international group of journalism educators.
While many details in the document (particularly the recommended books) are now quite out of date, the general principles and recommendations are still solid and useful.
Although my main concern usually centers on digital skills (visual, audio, code) for reporting and storytelling, I was intrigued by these two lists in the UNESCO document (pages 33–34):
Journalism and Society
- A knowledge of the role of journalism in society, including its role in developing and securing democracy.
- An ability to reflect on developments within journalism.
- An understanding of how information is collected and managed by political, commercial and other organizations.
- An awareness of the international flow of information and its effects on one's own country.
- A knowledge of the history of journalism and the news media in one's own country and the world.
- A knowledge of news media ownership, organization and competition.
- A knowledge of the laws affecting the news media in one's own country and the world.
- A basic understanding of one's own country's system of government, its constitution, system of justice, political process, economy, social and cultural organization, and its relations with other countries.
- A basic knowledge of the geography and history of one's own country and the world.
- A basic knowledge of science.
- A specialized knowledge of at least one subject area important to journalism in one's own country.
These are listed under "Journalism Competencies" (page 30) and follow a much longer list labeled "Professional Standards," which includes research skills, writing skills, and a list with this unwieldy heading:
Skilled use of the tools of journalism in editing, designing, and producing material, for print, broadcast and online media, with an understanding of and ability to adapt to convergence and technological developments in journalism.
I noticed the absence of math skills, statistics, knowledge of economics, and computer programming skills from the lists.
Lacking skills and knowledge in those areas, a journalist is ill-prepared for reporting in today's world.

Ah.... I misunderstood. I thought it was a complete fast. Yes, since August I've been shooting for between 600-900 calories a day, towards the lower end if I can arrange it, but not going over the higher end.
But it is still difficult occasionally, and I find I get colder on the fasting days, and definitely more irritable.
Parts of me are MUCH colder. I've taken to wearing fingerless gloves in the house, and often need a thin watch cap at night. Of course, Japanese houses don't have central heating, and we keep the bedrooms closed off from the heated areas so it get's pretty chilly at night. But during the days outside, I don't notice it as much. Living in Vermont for so long, I just naturally dress for 'cold' to stay warm. Even riding today... 4°-6° on the thermometer so with wind chill factor at 80kph well down in the minus numbers, I was comfortable. The guys I was riding with decided to make the ride shorter than we first planned though... one of them was really in pain. Fortunately, they sell the disposable handwarmers in all the convenience stores, and they are as cheap as dirt here. My friends damn near covered themselves with them. They sell the sort that have a sticky side to them, and the guy who had the big problem put 6 of them on his back under his jacket, one inside each glove, and one inside each boot. The other guys only put them in their gloves and boots, and one guy added one over each kidney.
