The Soviet-built Ladas were a lot of things, but fast was not one of them. That's why I imagine this Lada, operated by feet like Fred Flintstone's car, probably isn't that much slower than one with a working engine.
It seems like a great way to keep an old Lada running (if you can call it that) for cheap, actually. Cut some holes in the floorboard, get a buddy to help push it along, and maybe pick up some speed on a nice downward slope.
Just don't forget the dash cam.

Youth Violence Out Of Control
[Commentary: On Violence]
Forty Second Street, New York's Times Square, The heart of Entertainment, Sports, Fashion and mainstream media, was the perfect place last week to draw attention to the dangerous increase of violence within the Black community, youth on youth violence, which has recently surged in the city.
The recent killing of innocent students on there way to school, and the murder of a young girl shot in the head on her way home is simply heart breaking.
The National Action Network (NAN) held this protest as part of a National Day of Outrage Against Gun Violence. The recent shooting of Vada Vasquez who was shot in the head by a stray bullet is an example of the violence which sparked the need for outrage.
City Council woman Leticia James, from Brooklyn, spoke directly to the Mayor saying, "Mr. Mayor we need you to invest in our youth, instead of buildings." She added, "A Track and field saved me, Mr. Mayor."
Personally, a new movement needs to take place regarding the Facebook generation and gun violence. Technology which is literally at our fingertips allows us to have rapid communication, creating our own world and reaching out to everyone in it.
It is our responsibility to voice our outrage regarding violence within the Black community. If we can tweeter about Jay Z and Beyonce's latest material woes or Rhianna's latest wardrobe malfunction, then we should also talk about our disgust with the rise in gun violence.
I thank NANA's President Rev. Al Sharpton, Charles Barron, Spike Lee, and Erica Ford and the countless activists who spoke at the rally. However, truth be told, I was not inspired.
There is a definite generation gap and disconnect between the Civil Rights generation and Facebook generation. Old strategies of marching and civil disobedience do not attract the participation of young African Americans. No doubt, both generations are suffering because of gun violence. Many young people think that marching is an outdated form of protest that brings little results to the cause.
As I left the rally and headed to the train I was bombarded by over five hundred young women all sporting red jackets, their ponytails bouncing in the wind.
They where the dancers, band players, and matches in town for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There was a excitement amongst the group of teenagers, probably about visiting New York for the first time. I asked myself why are these young people different?
Why are they obsessed with cheerleading and band practice instead of Mac 10's and Glocks. This trip was probably there reward for all the hard work they put into there school work and practice.
At the end of the day we must invest in young African Americans. We have to encourage young people to value their life and future. So many communities of color lack resources like youth and reaction centers; there is nothing to do but the streets, where an early introduction to crime, drugs and violence is inevitable.
How can young people effect change in there community in essence, so that we are not protesting against ourselves?

While dozens of alumni representing six decades will return to Wabash College this weekend to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies, the weekend will also be an opportunity to look forward to the Institute's future.
Founded during the 1970-71 school, the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies was created to support Wabash's students of color. It served as a refuge for the students, who felt racism on campus and in the community. Over time, the MXIBS evolved into a center of protest and action, developed an impressive speakers series, and created the longest-running community outreach program on campus, the KQ&K Mentoring Program.
"This weekend marks the culmination of a year of celebration for the founding and flourishing of the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies on the Wabash College campus," said Dr. Michael Brown, the new director of the MXIBS. "This is not only a time for the alumni to be proud of their accomplishments, but also for the current students and the College as a whole."
Dr. Finley Campbell (pictured above) and Dr. Peter Frederick, to faculty members who were on campus at the time of the Institute's founding, return this weekend to celebrate the past accomplishments of the Institute's students and alumni. Both will be honored at a festive banquet Saturday night, and Dr. Frederick will be named an honorary alumnus by the National Association of Wabash Men.
The weekend is filled with colloquia sessions, social events, panel discussions, and workshops. Many alumni will also participate in a video history project to document not only the early days of the MXIBS, but its presence over time.
President Patrick White, Dean of the College Gary Phillips, and Dr. Brown, who is also Associate Dean of the College, will host a Saturday morning for a program entitled "State of the College and the Malcolm X Institute.
"Very few institutions like the Malcolm X Institute have survived, especially in the current economic environment, and to have the Institute at Wabash be in a position of growth is a credit to the entire campus community," said Dr. Brown. "As director, I look forward to working with alumni and students to forge a broader future for the MXI, building upon a strong foundation of meaningful work. This is a weekend of both celebration and retooling for the future."
The weekend includes a Friday afternoon session devoted to career development opportunities with students. Alumni Lemuel Stigler '73, Eugene Anderson '83, Kenyatta Brame '92, and David Woessner '01 will share their insights with students about how to set career goals and how to make the most of the opportunities Wabash provides.
A Friday night fish fry will be followed by a panel discussion about the delicate balance between academics and athletics at Wabash, and will feature former star athletes Bob Wedgeworth '59, Daryl Johnson '82, Thomas Brown '01, and Matt Kraft '10 with Track and Field Coach Clyde Morgan, Athletic Director Joe Haklin, and Track Coach Emeritus Rob Johnson lead the discussion.
After Saturday morning's session with President White and the deans, alumnus Garrard McClendon '88 will facilitate a conversation about student experiences and developing relationships with alumni.
Saturday night's celebratory banquet will include recognition of the founders of the MXIBS, comments by President White and Dr. Campbell, and honoring past Institute chairmen.
Sunday's events will include a spiritual service followed by a meeting of MXIBS alumni, facilitated by Keith Nelson '71, about the future of the Institute and the role of alumni.

Zero Punctuation: Siren Blood Curse
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NEXT
Hah! Take that, general public! Zappa deserves a high five.
Also, I enjoyed this ZP as much as any other.
This. Infinitely this. People need to relax and realize that entertainment isn't just about... well, what I just quoted on.
What you say makes sense but just for the record I'm not defending Yahtzee I mean he obviously has an ego reaching disproportionate size. I would almost certainly imagine that he wouldn't care he probably doesn't read it. It's sort of like Bill Gates(while he was still in charge) reading all the complaints about Microsoft.
So by the same token why do you complain unless for the sake of pure anarchy.
To end as I started, Yahtzee could defend himself as can most people, I was just frustrated by your style.
But hey you appear to examine games pretty thoroughly(and I say this totally devoid of sarcasm) I'd be genuinely interested to hear your thoughts on the game. Furthermore why not go the maximum and explain what your idea of a perfect-or as near as possible to-review is.
I wasn't exactly talking bout you, but these other people who defend him. I mean there's alot of guys who do that.
Well, I can't say much bout a perfect review, but atleast a review that tells you the bad and good points of a game. That say's what good points the game has and what's bad bout it, and is it worth playing or atleast is worth for say a rent. Yahtzee practically mentiones every bad point in ANY game he does, and never mentiones any good points and even if he does, he quickly says that the game still sucks. I mean he said Mad World sucked, just because it was for the Wii. I played it myselfe and well, I didn't encounter any troubles he had. The controls worked pretty fine for me, I really enjoyed the style of the game, the combos weren't hard to pull. What I found frustraiting was the boss fights, wich either to easy or to annoying when ya needed to make this confrontation attacks, wich are hard to pull beacuse you need move the controllers really fast not to miss the moment. I also had problems during thoes, bonus stages because most of 'em are hard to pull when you say need to use the golf club or the soda bottles, since at times it's kinda hard to aim at the needed spot.
That's the problem with Yahtzee's reviews. They're funny, but... Siren Blood Curse is an awesome horror, much better than Dead Space, or Resident Evil 5... It's not very hard, I'd rather say it's an easy game but the visuals are great and the story is awesome. It's very complicated and difficult to understand. And very interesting.
Yes, I agreee fully with you, again I'll say that by the looks of this, he didn't play the PS2 version. And knowing how some people take Yahtzee's word as 'law' they'll trully miss a good horror game. I mean Blood Curse is practically the closest thing to a horror game we'll ever get. But because some people actually have this stupidity of trusting Yahtzee and not trying the game 'em selfes, they'll miss a fun game.
I think Yahtzee reads SOME of his mail, but not all of it. This is why he comments on what the masses are telling him. Let's face it, while I wouldn't call Yahtzee super-famous he is sort of a cult internet personality and thousands of people know who he is. He receives hundreds of responses each week and probably couldn't respond to them all (or even keep up with them the way they trickle in).
How arrogant Yahtzee is, is a matter of opinion. I have no idea, I have not met him. Understand though that we tune in for the arrogance. If he acted any other way he wouldn't be popular, and I'm sure he understands that. He's popular because of the ultra-sarcastic biting comments.
It's also notable that when a game has mostly good points he's done things like the "eh, it's pretty good" (followed by the mock closing credits) for Fallout 3. This before he turned around and ripped it a new one which is what we wanted to see even if we were fans of the game.
The biggest problem I have with Yahtzee is that he seems to take a shotgun approach to nailing games, and fails to be consistant. Though I guess he wouldn't be entertaining otherwise.
I doubt anyone has read through this lengthy post (never mind him) but let me point out one important thing: YAHTZEE IS AN ADVENTURE GAME DESIGNER!!!. HE HAS DESIGNED HORROR ADVENTURE GAMES.
As a result I think he's been a little too harsh on some aspects of the game, having made this connection himself.
Sure he's right on about controlling characters who die anyway after you keep them alive (or at least how it goes down in this game).
I expected a little more solidarity there. Though I guess it means he was being a fair critic.
[post heavily edited, hopelly nobody read the first one I wrote before re-watching the video]
(( Cowers ))
I don't know about anyone else but I have yet to play a horror game for the next-gen consoles that is actally well scary the old 2D point and click games were the only games that made me sleep with the lights on.
I'm not going to really read through 256 other twits' comments (I do not exclude myself from that distinction) so if this has been said, tough.
Two of the things Yahtzee complains most about this game also appear in two other games that he holds in high esteem. Psychonauts has a form of second person game play via clairvoyance. You can actually watch the world, and yourself, in real time through someone else's eyes. Bioshock has an entire sequence (the museum) through which you, disguised as a Big Daddy, must lead hapless and now completely mortal Little Sisters through dangerous territory, protect them, and wait for them to open the big doors after they crawl through the little doors. Why the architects of Rapture's museum would install cat doors in the big museum doors is a complete and utter mystery. However, it allows you to experience all the aneurysms possible when trying to protect fragile little girls who are easily distracted by shiny corpses when they should be leading you to the nice doorway. So, Psychonauts proves that Crisis Blood Curse or whatever it is called is not the only game with second person game play, and Bioshock proves that not all games that have little girls tagging along hampering your progress are bad.
Anencephaly is not funny. Yeah your jokes in bad taste have made me laugh before, but that sort of thing is going too far....
Bad review,not funny etc, etc, you'll most likely never see this so w/e.
You haven't played Siren, have you? People like it, because it's different. It's not an action. Monsters don't jump from behind. Yes, Dead Space is a piece of shit as an horror, but Siren is a horror masterpiece. You panic, you shake with fear - they're everywhere, and you have to crawl around, praying for noone will hear you... Actually, IMO Siren is the ONLY horror game. Action like Dead Space can't really scare you, and old games like Silent Hill also can't make you shake with fear - you can see, while playing, that these monsters are polygonised models, they're not going to hurt you. As for Siren - it's gonna hurt. Terrify. Make you shiver.
I never said Grim Fandango was the best game ever, because as you yourself has pointed out, it has its flaws. What i was trying to say is that it was a hell of a lot more enjoyable than pretty much any other game to come out in 98, still it failed financially. This was what i was trying to say.
Also, i was saying that survival horror is rarely, if ever, carried out correctly. I'll have a peek at Penumbra though, cheers.
What do you mean by "correctly"? Either it scares you or it doesn't (a good story is a nice bonus, but not necessarily a requirement). Project Zero 2 made me want to kill myself, therefore it's a good survival horror game. Dead Space had a couple of scary bits but was mostly harmless, therefore it's a bad survival horror game. I like the genre as a whole because of the way it ignores traditional expectations re: accessible & enjoyable gameplay.
I heard the first one was bad but I never knew they made a sequel
Actally i have played siren, i got it of a friend ,she said it was the best horror game she has ever played so i tryed it out and when i was done with it i through it in her face with disgust and ranted at her for saying such a idiotic sentence.
Let me point out something: Siren is a game hardly anyone has ever heard of. This means one of two things.. either 1) it was horrible beyond belief, or 2) it was a great game that flew right under the radar (not unlike Psychonauts). However, considering the ammount of people who continually comment on how poor the original was (I know I'd never heard of it), I'd say that the game probably wasn't that good. As for the sequal, I think they improved on things as Yahtzee himself seemed so inclined to say, but they still didn't make the game fun or enjoyable.
I've read about the game a little, and I've seen some vids/clips/whatever... and I gotta say the game doesn't look that great. Disjointed story-telling is a poorly delivered medium, regardless of how good (or not so good) the story itself is. Characters that are required to be assisted and saved constantly, only to DIE as the story goes on, are annoying and disappointing. It makes me go "I wasted all that time and effort just so you could DIE anyways?" That's like the whole "you can't go here and get killed, you have to go to spot X and get killed so the story moves on." It's ridiculous, clunky, and is beyond unenjoyable trying to guess what you're supposed to do.
Am I defending Yahztee? Probably, but more to the point, I'm defending the people who HAVE played the game and said it was garbage against people who either have played the game and liked it (you're very entitled to that) and the people who have NOT played it, and are bitching solely because Yahztee gave it a bad review.. as a lot of people tend to do I've seen.
To you, Kanashe, I'd say stop trying to impress people. It's not making you look "cool" or knowledgable or anything. It's making you look like an insensitive prude with a serious chip on their shoulder. If that's NOT how you are, then I'd suggest responding with less bile and more understanding. You gotta look at everything the people are saying and see it from multiple sides.
This game may very well be a great game, but the audience that finds it so is extremely small. Which isn't to say it's a bad game, but it may have been poorly placed. Also, it is true that hardly any 3-D "horror" games are scarey, I know I sure can't think of any. But it's also true that, much like gaming skills themselves, everyone has their own levels of what scares them and how easilly. What may scare the pants off someone and make them wet themselves, may be just a yawn or a "huh, didn't expect that" kinda passing comment.
And on another note... I'd actually trust Yahtzee's reviews over someone like GameSpot or IGN, because I have a strong feeling that Yahtzee'd be a lot more honest. Yahtzee kinda reminds me of myself in some ways, really... I'm always saying what I think is good or bad about a game, often going against the "mainstream idea of cool" or "what's hip" or whatever, and no one gives two shits about what I say. But at least some people respect Yahztee enough to pay attention, and I'm one of them.
Him being honest? Don't make me laugh, he's as honest as CNN. Yahztee has never been honest so stop being so delusional, he only knows how to whine/bitch/overhype. Also if you defend him with so much passion, then I have every right to classify you a Yahtzee sheep. So have fun defending this sorry excuse for a reviewer who wasn't a reviewer to begin with.
That's not true. He also knows how to talk really really fast.
That sightjacking thing was interesting, it'd be good to see someone who knows what they're doing use that feature properly. For example, I figured one could make for a disturbing combat experience rather than a hard one in order to keep players running from combat in a survival horror situation, and perhaps it could be first person melee set up, but as the player strikes an enemy, the veiw switches to that of the foe as it recoils in pain, letting out an earsplittingly loud, ungodly scream in a child's voice, all while having to stare wildly at your character as he advances with the look of the devil in his eyes, blood everywhere. Nasty
I like Yahztee, he's a funny, seemingly intelligent guy.
However, I would play this game (if I had a PS3).
I think some people take his word to be gospel and can't form their own opinions... then there's the other end of the spectrum who hate his reviews because he slams their favourite games.
He's just a critic you won't agree with him all the time.
Though i do wish I listened to Yahztee's Dead Space review...
I heard Spoony liked this game. Eh, oh well.
Why so much bile, you ask? Good question. I have some theories:
1. Yahtzee's detractors just need a place to vent, so they come onto the forums to denounce him as talentless filth in lieu of doing something constructive. An airing of grievances, more or less.
2. They mistakenly believe their opinions are somehow more important and/or objective than anyone else's, and get on their virtual soapboxes to tell the unwashed masses ("sheep/sheeple" if they're especially pretentious) how it is.
3. They are trolls. They just do it for kicks.
i wonder how the sidejacking/second perspective view/ will fair in a action game xP...
Yes, yes very cute. Nice theories sir, but all bad. You see most people who haven't played the game defend/agree with Yahtzee. Wich in a word is abit wrong, because if you take someones word and not try a game for yourselfe to see if the so called 'bile' was true, then you are an idiot. I'm not beliveing my opinion is important or objective to anyone else, but so far most people didn't bring a good responce to the tabel, most of 'em were just defending Yahtzee. Thoes who did bring good pints, well I'm not even gonna argue with 'em, because I know I'm wrong at something.
I vote for the Aids game.
Nice one, yahtzee.
Awesome through and through. I love that he pays no attention to the whining faggots and just keeps reviewing his own way. Keeps me coming back every week.
You know what, Kenashe? I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say you're a troll (regardless if you are or aren't, because you certainly feel like one right now, or at least an instigator or something) on the grounds that you take everything people say and twist it around until it fits your own viewpoint.
Now, watching someone else play a game in person and watching videos of people playing a game are both excellent ways to get a good impression of how the game handles/plays/feels. I can say that after watching some videos of the game, that I probably would not like it in the slighest.
Also, from my own experience, Yahtzee is almost always on the ball with his reviews, because he usually says the same thing I'm thinking. Does that stop me from playing games he says are crap? No, but it certainly makes me rent instead of buy (which I usually do anyways, thank gods), and in pretty much every occasion, I've come to the same conclusions as him by the time I'm done playing a game. Whether it's because I've beaten it or I'm sick it, I inevitably come to the same conclusion. That's why I like Yahtzee's reviews and why I take them as more honest than someone at IGN or Gamespot saying a game is AWESOME and then getting a lotta money.
You can defend the game all you want, but you insult our intelligence by saying that because we haven't "played it" that we obviously know nothing about the game (or apparently games in general according to some posters I've seen). No game is perfect, not even ones I like, and certainly not ones he likes (as he's said so himself). Blood Curse isn't a piece of artwork, and I'm certain it isn't a pile of shit. But I'm certainly not gonna say that it's a "great game" by any means. If you are offended by that, I'm sorry, but it isn't gonna change my mind by you trying to hammer it into my head why I'm an idiot or something for not liking it. It took some interesting concepts, juggled them around a bit poorly and didn't present them in a way that truly worked. To me, that is a mark of a "bad game". Not an awful one, a bad one. There's a difference.
Wow, Yahtzee threads always attract such anger. If you don't like his work, THEN DON'T WATCH IT. It's the simple solution to your problem, and I'm sure it would save everyone a lot of trouble.
As for the review, I liked it. Made me laugh, and I'm actually curious about the game now since I've never heard of it before. Might pick it up if I find it cheap.
I think you're sore because you forked out 60 bucks or something for this sorry excuse for a game. I have tried it, i did not enjoy it, this is my opinion.
Yahtzee is honest, brutally honest, in fact. If you like reviews written by people on EA's payroll, then be my guest.
Of course, you have your own opinion on what makes a good or bad game, and if your opinion differs from mine, yahtzee's or anyone else on this forum, there's no point arguing about it. Hell, why am i doing it? Later.
By correctly, i mean that it scares you by trespassing on your brain, penetrating you, if you will. (inb4 dick analogies)
What i do NOT see as a good measure of a survival horror game is the amount of foaming-mouth zombies popping out from an unseen place and going BOGAWOGAWOGAWOGA.
I'm a fan of psychological horror. It doesn't have to be obvious scares, more a creeping feeling in your spine, that you are doing something you really really would not want to do.
Then, of course, it's very hard to carry this out so that it hits home with every person in the world, seeing as how every person is so different (except for the halo fanboys, copypasted fuckwits.)
I'm not trying to flame or anything, and if you have any recommendations that might meet my criteria and is not produced in japan, i'll gladly have a look at it.
Yeaaah, I actually had fun with the game, so your opinion can drop of a cliff.
Yahtzee was never honest, please stop being so delusional. He's honest as IGN and Gamespot. He's a payed reviewer, and they're never honest. They're simple company drones.
Yes, I do, but seems alot of sheep take Yahtzee's 'word' as some kind if law. Wich really piss me off, I despise it when people belive that whatever this prick says is considered the truth, he's NOT always right so stop doing this delusional bullshit. Stop treating him like some kind of messiah when he isn't, I swear it makes me wanna punch each in everyone of you.
Wow. I can't believe how much people argue about the same points over and over again. You just can't see the forest through the trees.
1. I don't think Yahtzee's reviews are meant to be honest, or taken in such a way that it becomes anything higher than an opinion. A good reviewer is honest to themselves and their style, and I believe Yahtzee is honest in that regard.
2. I think people who awkwardly admire/hate Yahtzee to the point of no return have issues. He is a man with an opinion that is very entertaining to some, and not to others. Just leave it at that, if you please.
Y'all need to chill out. If you really need to go all out to defend your viewpoint, that just shows how weak your argument is.
Is he doing Riddick this week? It would be interesting since he commented a while back how it was crazy that Vin Diesel was remaking the game (and he has "things in his crisper drawer older that that" <-- quote may not be perfect)

Judge throws out a lawsuit against the rule allowing subsidies to continue.
A federal judge on Monday dismissed a Republican senator's lawsuit against the Obama administration, which challenged its decision to continue subsidizing the health care of lawmakers and congressional staff under the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Judge William Griesbach of the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, threw out the case because the administration's regulation in question does not amount to a concrete injury against the plaintiffs, Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson and his legislative counsel, Brooke Ericson. Griesbach ruled that absent such a concrete injury, "for the judiciary to intervene under these circumstances would violate the same principle plaintiffs seek to vindicate in their own lawsuit with far less opportunity for correction by either the other branches or the people."
At the heart of the lawsuit is an August 2013 draft rule issued by the Office of Personnel Management clarifying that the federal government would continue to contribute to the health plans of congressional staff and lawmakers under Obamacare. The amount of the government's, or in this case the employer's, contribution under the health insurance exchanges would not exceed the amount those employees received under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, OPM said last summer. FEHBP, which OPM administers, covers 8.2 million federal employees, retirees and their dependents and pays up to 75 percent of the health care plan's premium costs.
The 2010 Affordable Care Act required lawmakers and congressional aides in personal offices to drop their FEHBP insurance coverage as of Oct. 1, 2013, and enter the newly created exchange market. The August 2013 OPM rule stated that like private-sector employees, affected lawmakers and congressional staff would not lose their employer contributions for these health plans. Before OPM weighed in on how that provision of the law should be interpreted, Capitol Hill had worried that the shift from FEHBP to the health care insurance exchanges under Obamacare would be too expensive for many lawmakers and aides, making it difficult to retain employees.
Johnson sued OPM in January over its interpretation of the Obamacare provision, claiming the administration acted illegally giving what amounts to "special treatment" to legislative branch employees and lawmakers. "After groping for a pretext, OPM essentially declared the federal government a small employer -- magically qualifying members of Congress for coverage through a Small Business Health Options Program, exchanges where employers can buy insurance for their employees," Johnson wrote in a Jan. 5 op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, criticizing the rule. Forty-five Republican lawmakers submitted a friend of the court brief supporting Johnson's lawsuit.
Griesback dismissed the plaintiffs' claims that OPM's rule places an administrative burden on Johnson because he would have to determine annually who are "congressional staff" within the regulation, that it forces the senator to engage in conduct he believes harms his credibility with voters, and that it violates equal protection under the law.
Griesbach also rejected the plaintiffs' argument that without the courts stepping in to remedy the situation, the Obama administration will continue to ignore laws Congress has passed or exceed its authority. "It is not true that the courts are the only remedy for the administration's alleged unlawfulness," the ruling stated. "The Congress itself is surely not helpless to rein in the executive: it has spending authority, investigative powers, and it even wields the blunt instrument of impeachment; it has the power to pass, delay, or kill initiatives the executive branch might propose; and it may delay or thwart consideration of executive branch nominees."
Johnson, who can appeal the decision, said he is reviewing it with his legal team to determine his next step. "I believe that this executive action by the Obama administration is unlawful and unfair, and that it is only one of many examples of this president's abuse of his constitutional duty," he said in a statement. "Unfortunately, those actions will go unchallenged for now, because the district court granted the administration's motion to dismiss based on the legal technicality of standing."
Separately on Tuesday, two federal appeals courts handed down contradictory rulings regarding tax credits under Obamacare. Under OPM's 2013 rule, affected congressional employees and lawmakers do not qualify for premium tax credits under Obamacare.

Kazakhstan pulled off an unexpected victory over Austria on Sunday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup.
Andrey Golubev beat Jurgen Melzer 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in the reverse singles of the World Group 1st round tie for Kazakhstan to take an insurmountable 3-1 lead, resulting in the entire team breaking into an on-court celebration dance. The last reverse singles will not be played.
Kazakhstan began strongly Friday when Golubev beat Andreas Haider-Maurer in the opening match, and Evgeny Korolev defeated Jurgen Melzer in straight sets.
In Saturday's doubles match, Alexander Peya and Julian Knowle kept Austria's hopes by winning a tightly fought contest against Golubev and Yuriy Schukin. Kazakhstan next plays the Czech Republic away in April.

SAN JOSE — Five reputed gang members charged in the brutal beating death of a 14-year-old boy on a Roosevelt Park basketball court pleaded not guilty Wednesday, a prosecutor said.
Following an indictment on murder and felony assault charges handed down last week by a Santa Clara County grand jury, Javier Lamas Hernandez, 21; Scott Michael Conway Jr., 19; Jacob Jimmie Lynch, 18; Joe Chavarria Jr., 31; and Clemente Salas, 16, each entered the not guilty pleas, according to Santa Clara County prosecutor Carlos Vega.
A tentative trial date has been set for late October.
Three other people, James Vincent Conklin, Ruben Becerra and Angel Garcia Lamas, also remain in custody and also face murder charges separate from the grand jury indictment.
Lynch, Salas, Conklin and Becerra were all juveniles when the assault occurred the evening of April 27, 2012. All are being charged as adults.
On the day he was attacked, Heriberto Reyes — an eighth-grader at Bernal Intermediate School in South San Jose who was not in a gang — was dropped off by his father at the park to play a game of pickup basketball at the park with family and friends.
When Heriberto and a friend walked onto the courts, they were confronted by several people who started pulling up the boy's shirt to look for gang tattoos, according to police reports.
"Then, despite Heriberto's protests that he was not affiliated with any gang, they savagely attacked him, stomping repeatedly on his head," according to a statement from the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
Heriberto's brother rushed to his aid but was attacked and knocked unconscious. Others who tried to intervene were told they would also be assaulted if they got involved.
Heriberto died from massive head injuries three days later at Regional Medical Center.

That is the headline on a column written by a former UPI colleague of mine, Marguerite Del Giudice. I really like the column, and wanted to share it.
Ann Patchett: This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage
David Sedaris liked this book so much her arranged for Moe's Books of Berkeley to sell it in the lobby after his reading at Zellernbach Hall last year. I can see why; Pratchett is an interesting and able essayist. I haven't read her fiction, but if it is as good as her essays, it is good indeed. As a recently bereaved cat owner, I couldn't read her essay on the death of her dog, but all the others were fine. (*****)
Nora Ephron: The Most of Nora Ephron
I have always been a big fan of Nora Ephron, so I was enraptured with this omnibus, which includes her novel, her Harry met Sally screenplay and many of her essays, some of them previously uncorrected. They say you should never meet the authors you love, but I think I'd have enjoyed her, even if she was telling me to "get over it." (*****)
Edward St. Aubyn: Lost for Words: A Novel
I heard the author on "Fresh Air" being interviewed by Terry Gross, and I am glad I did. I don't think I'd enjoy the Patrick Melrose books for which he is famous (based on the descriptions, I don't care to read them) but this relentlessly amusing sendup of the literary prize culture in Britain has laughs on every page, delivered with standard British panache. (*****)
Thomas Vinciguerra: Backward Ran Sentences: The Best of Wolcott Gibbs from the New Yorker
A fantastic collection of writing by one of the most brilliant writers ever to grace the staff of "The New Yorker." His most famous parody, of the writing style of "Time" Magazine, is referenced in the title of this volume; "Backwards ran sentences until reeled the mind." But his fiction, his reviews, and his other parodies are all priceless. (*****)
Dave Eggers: The Circle (Vintage)
Finally, a novel of Silicon Valley with some literary merit. I have looked at the book club discussion questions, which make it clear to me that there's a whole lot going on I didn't get. But the parts I did get were a fascinating exploration of where we're going. As I used to teach students, "Science Fiction is not about what it is about, it is about the time in which it was written." True here. Marvelous and gripping. (*****)
Bob Garfield: Bedfellows
Co-host of NPR's "On the Media" and Slate's "Lexicon Valley," Bob Garfield is a quick-witted, sharp-tongued commentator. This novel of the modern mafia in fictional Brooklyn is humorous and amusing (albeit not really laugh-out-loud funny), with a clever yet somehow contrived plot. Lots of swearing, not too much violence. I have read several books on my Sony E-reader; this is the first book I read on the Kindle I-phone ap. Weird experience. If you'd told me I'd ever read a book on my phone... (****)
Maria Semple: Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel
Another case where "everybody" was right. All my print and electronic media sources pointed to this as a brilliant comic novel. Clearly, my analytical skills are deficient when it comes to print, because I can only repeat what I have written about several other books here: couldn't put it down. A mother-daughter tale, told mostly through documents and emails, and a delightfully barbed skewering of Seattle, one of America's most obvious and under-skewered targets. (*****)
Lionel Shriver: The New Republic: A Novel
I am always on the outlook for the next "best journalism novel ever." For decades, Evelyn Waugh's Scoop was the gold standard, and it is still the funniest of the small handful of iconic novels that tell the truth about the life of journalists, particularly foreign correspondents. This, however, is a clever, well-written page turner that shows journos living the life I knew them to live when I was one decades ago. Plot contrivances? Sure. It was written before 9/11 and released this year, and if you didn't know you might guess. But just as Waugh's work caught the essence of the working journalist of his time, so too does this first rate novel. It deserves a place in the pantheon of "best journalism novels ever. (*****)
Danny Rubin: How To Write Groundhog Day
Regular readers know I am a sucker for all things groundhog. Still, above and beyond my fan-boy inclinations, this is a great book by a talented author, which provides insight into both the movie and the process of writing it. I literally couldn't put it down. I wrote my second-ever Amazon review to praise it. Run, don't walk to buy a copy. (*****)

Some Reflections on Foreign Direct Investment Flows and the Viet Nam's Economy
This paper examined the comparative trend and pattern of foreign direct investment (FDI) flows in Vietnam over the period (2001-2011) in the ASEAN setting. Astonishingly, the period study has detected a declining trend of FDI inflows in Vietnam at the end of the preceding decade and being of the current decade. Together with the Vietnamese other parameters, the business environment is, thus, analyzed for a better perception and galvanizing ideas for policy diagnosis in the future course of direction of the FDI into the country. Moreover, for a better regional contribution, a formation of VCLT-DS (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Development Square) similar to the IMT-GT (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand Growth Triangle) is suggested for the consideration of the concerned political authorities.

Pushkinskie Gory
Pushkinskie Gory (Russian: Пу́шкинские Го́ры, POOSH-keen-skee-yeh GOH-ree) is in Pskov Oblast, Russia.
Pushkinskie Gory (also can be called Pushgory or Pushkin Hills) is a large open-air museum around the former Alexander Pushkin's family mansion. Its area includes several villages, each having a mansion and a park, surrounding forests, and riverside landscape. There is also a settlement with the same title nearby.
Silent alleys of picturesque parks, astonishing views at traditional Russian scenery, and the total atmosphere of early 19th century - everything makes this place a perfect destination for those who want to explore the incredible beauty of hidden Russia.
The museum is best to visit at summer or early autumn, when a guest can easily get lost for a week in this place. But usually Pushkinskie Gory is a weekend destination from Saint Petersburg and Moscow. During the winter the place is also worth to visit.
As in most parts of Russia, local infrastructure is not yet adapted for non-Russian speakers, so, language barrier problems can be expected even at most westernized hotels. English guided tours are probably available in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
The villages of Petrovskoe and Mikhailovskoe were the familiar property of Alexander Pushkin's ancestry since 18th century. In 1817 Pushkin visited the place for the first time and was completely charmed by it. Afterwards he spent here 2 years being in exile after his disfavour at the capital. Here he wrote a significant part of his poetry, which became Russian and international legacy, including the part of Eugeny Onegin poem.
The museum was founded in 1922 by Bolsheviks, who decided to preserve Pushkin's cultural heritage from peasant disorders occured after 1917 revolution. The mansions suffered greatly from fire and were carefully renovated in 20th century.
Low hills, pine forests, meadows, lakes, and River Sorot flowing through the museum territory.
Get in[edit]
By air[edit]
Pskov airport is 120 km away from Pushgory, serving 2-4 flights a day to/from Moscow. The rest of the way can be done by taxi, or hotel transfer can be arranged.
By train[edit]
Suschevo train station is about 70 km from museum. Transit trains go to/from Saint Petersburg (5 hours), Minsk (8.5 hours), Kiev (17.5 hours), and Odessa (29 hours). The rest of the way can be done by taxi, or hotel transfer can be arranged.
By bus[edit]
There are several daily buses to Pushgory from Pskov. A daily bus service from Saint Petersburg is also available. A ride will take 8 hours.
By car[edit]
The most suitable way to Pushkin Hills is by car.
From Riga and Moscow: take E22/M9 road, turn to Pskov at Pustoshka (Пустошка), go by E22/M9 road till Novgorodka (Новгородка) village, then turn right to Pushkinskie Gory. Expect 7-9 hours for the route. Form Saint Petersburg and Kiev: take E95/M20 road and turn to Pushkinskie Gory at Novgorodka (Новгородка) village. Expect 5-6 hours for the route from Saint Petersburg and 12 hours from Kiev.
Entering museum territory is free of charge. A permit is needed for those who want to enter the territory by car (200 RUR / 5 EUR). Visiting mansions and exhibitions is at additional cost.
Get around[edit]
Walking is the usual way to explore the Pushgory museum, but Mikhailovskoe, Trigorie and Petrovskoe are located at 5-10 km distance from each other. So, if you are not ready to walk such distance, use a car or hire a bike (bike rental is available at some hotels, e.g. Arina R.)
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
The place is lacking restaurants and cafes. Service level in those few operating can be at low level, especially if a bus tourists group is being served.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
There are several sleeping facilities in the museum or right outside it. Book in advance during the summer season.
Stay safe[edit]
The place is generally safe for visitors. Take repellent in summer, because of many mosquitos and botflies.
Get out[edit]
There are at least 3 historic cities at the distance of 100-150 km from Pushgory:
Also, there are few beautiful mansions around:
Altun mansion - 15 munites drive from Pushgory. Once a deserted noble mansion, now being intensively reconstructed, promising to be a beautiful destination in the nearest future. A hotel at the mansion will also start to operate soon.
Musorgsky mansion - the only house-museum of famous Russian composer Musorgsky in the world. Located near E22/M9 road in Tver Oblast near its border with Pskov Oblast. This place is on the way between Moscow (350 km away) and Pushkinskie Gory (200 km away).

Mirna Attar is the chef and owner of the Montavilla neighborhood restaurant Ya Hala. Her menu offers Lebanese food that you might eat in someone's home, rather than the more standard fare.
With the known health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, Attar is constantly being asked to teach a class on how to make some of her favorites — and I recently had the opportunity to check it out.
The class was super fun. Attar and members of her family set up a classroom, and folks got to pitch in and then sit for a wonderful meal.
Attar cooks and runs the kitchen, as well as oversees the prepared food at her families' other business, Barbur World Foods, a spectacular place to shop. Right now Barbur has fresh almonds. Before the shells get too hard to eat, buy a pound and eat them, whole, dipped in coarse salt.

- 2 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons 7-spice blend
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves (1 1/2 cups), finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 white onion cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 red bell pepper cut into bite-size chunks
- In a large bowl, combine the meat, oil, 7-spice blend, garlic, mint and salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Soak 8 bamboo skewers in cold water for 1 hour. Preheat grill to high (see note). Thread the meat, onions and peppers onto the skewers, making sure not to overcrowd the meat (if it is too tightly packed, the kebabs won't cook evenly).
- Place skewers on the grill and cook until meat is medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Allow kebabs to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Note: To check grill temperature, count the seconds you can hold your hand, palm side down, 2 to 3 inches above the rack, until it feels uncomfortable: 2 seconds for hot.
FATTOUSH (Tomato and Pita Bread Salad)
Ingredients (8 servings)
- 2 rounds pita bread, split horizontally
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 small English (hothouse) cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 large tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 cup chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sumac
- 1 large bunch purslane, or 1/2 head romaine lettuce
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the pita bread on a baking sheet and toast until golden and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Break into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
- In a large serving bowl, whisk the lemon juice and olive oil together until blended. To the bowl add the bell pepper, cucumber, radishes, green onions, tomatoes, parsley, mint, salt and sumac and toss to combine. Immediately before serving, cut the purslane into bite-size pieces or cut the lettuce crosswise into thin ribbons.
- Cut the ribbons into 2-inch pieces. Add the purslane or lettuce and pita pieces to the bowl, toss with the other ingredients and serve immediately.
Ingredients (2½ Cups)
- 1 cup dry garbanzo beans
- 7 cups water (for cooking beans)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Rinse the garbanzo beans, drain and cover with water to cover by 3 inches. Soak beans for 4 to 6 hours. Drain in a colander and rinse thoroughly.
- In a large pot combine soaked beans, the 7 cups water and the baking soda. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the beans are falling apart, about 1 hour. Stir any foam that comes to the surface back into the beans while they cook. Pour beans and any remaining cooking liquid into a large bowl and cool to room temperature in the refrigerator.
- Transfer beans and liquid to a food processor. Add the salt, garlic, tahini and lemon juice and process until smooth. If the mixture is too thick (it should be the consistency of thick cream), add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the hummus is smooth. Transfer to a medium-serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
FATAYER (Spinach Pies)
Ingredients (25 pieces)
- 1 lb spinach leaves
- 1 cup finely diced onions
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sumac
- ½ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 3 lbs store-bought pizza dough
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and mix all the ingredients (without the pizza dough) together.
- Roll the pizza dough with a dough roller to ¼-inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut the dough into circles of 6 inches in diameter.
- Scoop 2 ½ tablespoons of the mixed ingredients into the middle of each circle and close it up in a triangle shape.
- Oil a baking tray and place the spinach pies on it leaving 2 inches between them. Let them cool and serve at room temperature.
MOUJADRA (Lentil Pilaf)
Ingredients (6 servings)
- 2 cups brown lentils
- 8 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ cup corn oil
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 cup corn oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups basmati rice
- 5 cups sliced onions
- Cook the brown lentils, water, salt, cumin and ½ cup of corn oil in a pot until lentils are tender but not smashed.
- Heat the rest of the corn oil in a pan and add the onions and salt. Cook until the onions are golden, then add them to the lentils. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, then keep it covered with no heat for 10 minutes.
- For garnish, deep-fry 5 cups of sliced onions until crispy and place them on top of the moujadra.
Ingredients (6-8 servings)
For the Rose Water Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons rose syrup
For the Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup corn starch
- 4 tablespoons rose water syrup
For the Dough
- 1 package phyllo dough
- 3 sticks unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons ground pistachios
To Make the Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, boil 1 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of rose syrup.
- Cook on medium until the mixture thickens and develops a yellow tint. Turn off heat. Place in the refrigerator until it is very cold, approximately 2 hours.
To Make the Cream
- Mix all the ingredients for the cream together until the starch is completely dissolved. In a medium saucepan, cook the mixture on medium heat until the cream thickens. Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and cover with wax paper. Place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Unroll the phyllo dough and lay flat on the table. Separate one layer of phyllo dough (a very thin piece) and lay it flat on the table. Fold it in half lengthwise, then fold it in half again.
- Place ½ tablespoon of the cream centered, about 2 inches from the bottom of the dough. Fold the right corner over the cream and lay it flat on the opposite side. This should create a triangle shape. Take the remaining left corner and fold upwards. The left corner should still be on the left side of the dough. Take the left corner again and fold it to the right. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the dough.
- Melt 3 sticks of butter and place in a medium size bowl. Dip each piece of the folded Shaibeyet into the melted butter. Place on a cookie sheet 2 ½ inches apart.
- Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Place directly onto your serving dish and drizzle the cold rose water syrup over it. Garnish with ground pistachios.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Taylor Swift has never revealed her target in the scathing song "Dear John," but John Mayer's pretty sure it was about him — and he doesn't think that's cool.
In a new Rolling Stone interview, Mayer called "Dear John" cheap songwriting and said it made him feel terrible — and he didn't deserve it.
"I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do," he said. "I never got an email. I never got a phone call. I was really caught off guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"
Swift's song from the multi-platinum Speak Now album takes down a former boyfriend. Swift has never confirmed that the pair dated and when asked pointedly refused to say that song was about Mayer.
Mayer's Born and Raised, his first album in three years, debuted as the nation's bestselling album last week. It marked a return after undergoing vocal cord surgery and more notably, a torrent of negative criticism after a Playboy interview in which he spoke explicitly about his former girlfriend Jessica Simpson's bedroom skills, took what seemed to be pot shots at another famous ex, Jennifer Aniston, and used of the N-word.
He apologized at the time, and in the Rolling Stone article, talks about making a conscious decision to remove himself from the spotlight after years of courting publicity.
"I just don't think I'm supposed to be in people's faces all the time" he said. "I made it about me. ... People were like, 'Dude — no. I like some of your songs. But get out of the frame.' People got upset I considered myself in, like, the top 10 male celebrities or something. It's like, 'No, you're the guy I listen to when I make omelettes.'"

RALEIGH � As Lincolnton�s C.J. Wilson prepared for his senior season at N.C. State this year, he was one of the most veteran returnees of a defensive secondary that was expected to one of the Wolfpack�s biggest strengths.
As Wilson prepares for Monday�s noon Music City Bowl against Vanderbilt, very little has gone as expected in his final season of college football.
Wilson, who graduated with a degree in sport management in December 2011, fell behind in his post-graduate studies last spring and was later suspended four games by the NCAA due to those struggles. Upon his return to the Wolfpack lineup, Wilson found himself as a backup.
A starter at cornerback for 29 of the first 38 games of his career, including two bowl victories, Wilson started only twice in the eight games he played this season and is listed as a reserve for Monday�s bowl game.
Then, the day after a 7-5 season ended, the coach who recruited Wilson out of Lincolnton High School in the winter of 2008, Tom O�Brien, was fired.
�It�s a blessing to be able to come back and be going to a bowl game,� said Wilson, a record-setting running back on Lincolnton High�s 2007 N.C. 2A state title team. �I�ve been through some rough times, being ineligible and overcoming that and getting back with my teammates. The only way I can describe it is a blessing and by trusting in God, believing in Him and with the support of my family and my teammates, I�ve survived.�
A life-long running back, that Wilson has been such a contributor at a position he was largely unfamiliar with speaks to his work ethic and determination.
A top scout team performer during his redshirt season of 2008, Wilson opened his career by starting at cornerback for the Wolfpack opposite eventual NFL receiver Alshon Jeffery of the University of South Carolina.
Wilson would start two of the 12 games that season before becoming a full-time starter in 2010 and 2011 while gaining a name for himself with three touchdown interception returns.
This season, in spite of the more sporadic playing time, Wilson was honored as ACC defensive back of the week with three tackles, a pass interception and a fumble recovery in N.C. State�s 43-35 loss at North Carolina.
�It�s been rough,� Wilson said of his diminished playing time. �Sometimes I get down about it. I�m used to playing a lot and now I don�t play so much. So it�s rough, but without my family and my faith, I don�t know where I�d be right now.�
Wilson played in 445, 794 and 615 snaps, respectively, in his first three seasons; He has played in a career-low 173 this season.
�My dream was to come out on senior day and meet my mom and dad at the 50-yard-line � and I did that,� Wilson said of meeting his parents Curtis and Alecia Wilson of Lincolnton just before N.C. State�s 27-10 win over Boston College in the regular season finale.
Younger brother Brandon Wilson, a record-setting player at Lincolnton High like C.J., also attended that contest. Brandon Wilson, who played as a freshman at Lenoir-Rhyne in 2011, plans on walking on for the first Charlotte 49ers� football team next season.
�This season certainly ends on a high note,� C.J. Wilson said. �I didn�t want to end my senior year without making a bowl game. I wanted to finish off on top. I would�ve liked to have finished in the ACC championship game or even greater. But we came up short in a couple of games and are fortunate to get the chance to play in a bowl game.�
And after Monday�s game, Wilson is confident the sport will continue to be a part of his life.
�God willing, I want to play football,� Wilson said. �I�ve always had that dream of playing at the next level. That�s the dream. If I�m able to do that, I�ll do it. Lord willing, I�m all for it. But if He steers me in another direction, that�s where I�ll be.�
That direction could be coaching the sport.
�If playing football doesn�t work out, I want to stay in the sports field,� Wilson said. �I�d like to go in that coaching direction. The perfect job for me would be college because I think I can interact well with the kids.�

Coconut flour cake has quickly become our stand-by, a staple of birthday celebrations. With a flavor and texture reminiscent of classic yellow cake, this coconut flour cake is a welcome and nourishing alternative to all that refined flour and sugar. So when my son turned five recently, I knew just what cake I'd make to celebrate that momentous occasion. As an added benefit, the cake is free from grains, gluten and dairy products without compromising flavor or texture, meaning that it's a good dessert for family, friends and guests who may suffer from common food allergies. If you liked the coconut bread, you'll really enjoy this cake.
Why Use Coconut Flour for Your Cake
Rich in protein and fiber, coconut flour produces a filling and nutrient-dense cake. Typical birthday party fare includes candies, sugary sodas and cakes loaded with white flour, white sugar, hydrogenated fats and powdered sugar. It's easy to rationalize it: it's only once a year, the kids deserve their treat. Yet, all those refined carbohydrates come at a great cost to little bodies and developing metabolisms. As any parent who's attended his or her share of children's birthday parties knows that the after the sweetness of a birthday cake wears off, the craziness sets in. Little bodies, and big bodies for that matter, just aren't prepared to handle such an intense rush of refined carbohydrates and manufactured fats. We love healthy treats for kids at Nourished Kitchen, and this gluten-free cake is no exception.
A coconut flour cake, by contrast to traditional birthday cakes, helps to provide better nourishment through protein- and fiber-rich flour coupled with pastured eggs rich in vitamins and nourishing fats. While sweetened by honey, thanks to its rich assortment of proteins, fiber and fat, it still lacks the sugar rush associated with other flour- and sugar-rich cakes, making it a perfect choice for a child's birthday party.
Similarly, the coconut frosting that accompanies coconut flour cake is also sweetened only by a touch of honey. It lacks the powdered sugar, a combination of sugar and starch, found in most frostings so this coconut frosting is light and fluffy in texture, and it melts readily, so keep the frosted cake chilled in the refrigerator until it's ready to serve.
Using Coconut Flour
Extremely absorbent, coconut flour benefits from a high ratio of liquid ingredients to flour, and eggs provide the cake with plenty of moistness and a boost of nutrition. You can learn more about baking with coconut flour here.
Where to Find Coconut Flour for Your Cake
You can find coconut flour, coconut oil and coconut milk at most well-stocked health food stores; however, you can also purchase coconut flour and coconut oil online.

Forum Post: Europe Preparing for More QE

This content is user submitted and not an official statement
So as the US trims back, Europe goes forward, and vise versa. Just like always.
A period of time where constant stimulus is needed, none of the issues that caused said need for stimulus have been addressed, and the people show no signs of demanding anything different.
Buckle up, October is almost here.

Doing so will allow you to test applications in other languages so as to spot problems related to localization that may exist in KDE. Learn how to do just that in this tutorial. Step 1: kdesdk First, checkout the kdesdk module from the repository, then build and install it. If you have trouble building the kdesdk module, you can skip the troublesome parts. The main thing you need from the kdesdk module is the poxml folder. KBabel is also nice to have but not essential. Step 2: l10n You must download, build and install each language in the l10n module separately. You can check out and build just the German, and XX languages using the following procedure: svn co -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n-kde4 l10n cd l10n svn up scripts svn up templates svn up xx svn up de ./xx/internal/update_xx.sh ./scripts/autogen.sh de ./scripts/autogen.sh xx Once this is done, switch to you build directory, start cmake in the l10n/xx, l10n/de, etc directories that you wish to build the language support for one at a time. You may then make and install from the build directory. Tip Do not combine make and make install in a single step. It won't install anything. The ./xx/internal/update_xx.sh step uses the transxx program in kdesdk/poxml to automatically produce the XX language translation. If you were not able to build the kdesdk/poxml files, skip the ./xx/internal/update_xx.sh step. You'll have to rely on someone else running it and committing to the code repository. Step 3: Test An Application To run your application using, for instance, the German catalogs open a terminal (e.g. konsole) and type: KDE_LANG=de myapp where "myapp" is the name of the application you wish to test. Replace the "de" with the language code you wish to test, e.g. "xx". The German language is a good choice for testing the layout of your application, as German translated strings tend to be quite long. French is also a good choice. The XX language is useful for identifying strings in your application that are not translated.

Why do we negate the neighborhood we are living in? Sure, Briarwood has a lot of things that can create problems lately, but there are also great things.
Hoover Park and Playground is a wonderful place to be all year around, especially in the summertime. We have shopping, dining and banking needs right down on Queens Boulevard. We have the Doe Fund that collects trash and sweeps the sidewalks. We have community groups that work to make Briarwood a better place to live.
The Briarwood Action Network/BAN is one of the amazing organizations within our community. They, in the past, have donated numerous times to the homeless shelter. They have organized park days which have involved planting, painting and clean-up. They have initiated field trips to King Mansion and Maple Grove Cemetery.
There are good things going on here in Briarwood. Let us open our eyes and see the positive.

Christ Is Risen!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
When he drops one doctrine after another in a refined scepticism, when he declines to tie himself to a system, when he says that he has outgrown definitions, when he says that he disbelieves in finality, when, in his own imagination, he sits as God, holding no form of creed but contemplating all, then he is by that very process sinking slowly backwards into the vagueness of the vagrant animals and the unconsciousness of the grass. Trees have no dogmas. Turnips are singularly broad-minded.
I was wondering. I have the book "Orthodoxy" but was wondering if I should read it because I wasn't sure if it was Orthodoxy from a RC perspective or an Eastern Orthodox perspective. I will dig in, now.
My favorite passage from Chesterton's works..."Last and most important, it is exactly this which explains what is so inexplicable to all the modern critics of the history of Christianity. I mean the monstrous wars about small points of theology, the earthquakes of emotion about a gesture or a word. It was only a matter of an inch; but an inch is everything when you are balancing. The Church could not afford to swerve a hair's breadth on some things if she was to continue her great and daring experiment of the irregular equilibrium. Once let one idea become less powerful and some other idea would become too powerful. It was no flock of sheep the Christian shepherd was leading, but a herd of bulls and tigers, of terrible ideals and devouring doctrines, each one of them strong enough to turn to a false religion and lay waste the world. Remember that the Church went in specifically for dangerous ideas; she was a lion tamer. The idea of birth through a Holy Spirit, of the death of a divine being, of the forgiveness of sins, or the fulfilment of prophecies, are ideas which, any one can see, need but a touch to turn them into something blasphemous or ferocious. The smallest link was let drop by the artificers of the Mediterranean, and the lion of ancestral pessimism burst his chain in the forgotten forests of the north. Of these theological equalisations I have to speak afterwards. Here it is enough to notice that if some small mistake were made in doctrine, huge blunders might be made in human happiness. A sentence phrased wrong about the nature of symbolism would have broken all the best statues in Europe. A slip in the definitions might stop all the dances; might wither all the Christmas trees or break all the Easter eggs. Doctrines had to be defined within strict limits, even in order that man might enjoy general human liberties. The Church had to be careful, if only that the world might be careless. This is the thrilling romance of Orthodoxy. People have fallen into a foolish habit of speaking of orthodoxy as something heavy, humdrum, and safe. There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic than to be mad. It was the equilibrium of a man behind madly rushing horses, seeming to stoop this way and to sway that, yet in every attitude having the grace of statuary and the accuracy of arithmetic. The Church in its early days went fierce and fast with any warhorse; yet it is utterly unhistoric to say that she merely went mad along one idea, like a vulgar fanaticism. She swerved to left and right, so exactly as to avoid enormous obstacles. She left on one hand the huge bulk of Arianism, buttressed by all the worldly powers to make Christianity too worldly. The next instant she was swerving to avoid an orientalism, which would have made it too unworldly. The orthodox Church never took the tame course or accepted the conventions; the orthodox Church was never respectable. It would have been easier to have accepted the earthly power of the Arians. It would have been easy, in the Calvinistic seventeenth century, to fall into the bottomless pit of predestination. It is easy to be a madman: it is easy to be a heretic. It is always easy to let the age have its head; the difficult thing is to keep one's own. It is always easy to be a modernist; as it is easy to be a snob. To have fallen into any of those open traps of error and exaggeration which fashion after fashion and sect after sect set along the historic path of Christendom -- that would indeed have been simple. It is always simple to fall; there are an infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands. To have fallen into any one of the fads from Gnosticism to Christian Science would indeed have been obvious and tame. But to have avoided them all has been one whirling adventure; and in my vision the heavenly chariot flies thundering through the ages, the dull heresies sprawling and prostrate, the wild truth reeling but erect." - G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy: The Romance of the Faith
If anything I have posted has been illuminating, please remember that I merely reflect the light of others...but also it's me.
I also would like to post quotations from his works here, as often as I can. Quotations can provide 'soundbite' versions that give you a quick sense of the man's intelligence and depth.
What would the world be without Chesterton? No Lewis or Tolkien for one. From there, you can see the problem.
Quote from: theo philosopher on January 25, 2011, 02:10:23 AMWhat would the world be without Chesterton? No Lewis or Tolkien for one. From there, you can see the problem. I think you and I have a different understanding of the term 'problem.'
I read also author and minister George Macdonald was a big influence on both Chesterton and Lewis.
I just read his The Man Who Was Thursday recently and it was fantastic. I haven't read his apologetics in a longtime, but I have such an enormous respect for him and his integrity.My "worldview" has changed alot since I made this thread, so I'll have to go back and see if there are things I used to agree with, I now disagree about.
Among 20th century authors he is the greatest defender of the Christian faith, and though he converted from (old) Anglicanism to Catholicism later in his life, it can be said fairly truly that outside of his remarks on the Papacy and specific post-schism saints, anywhere he says 'Catholic' you can confidently insert 'Orthodox'.
