Aldridge: Liverpool 'in a crisis'
Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge says the Reds' alarming form in the Premier League should not be tolerated, calling their recent run "shambolic".
Liverpool have slipped to eighth in the table, with Sunday's 2-0 reverse at Newcastle consigning Kenny Dalglish's side to a sixth defeat in seven league games.
The Reds claimed a first trophy in six years by beating Cardiff in the Carling Cup final and return to Wembley to face fierce rivals Everton in the FA Cup semi-finals a week on Saturday.
However, despite their impressive displays in the cups, they have lost eight out of 12 in the league since the turn of the year, and Aldridge, who played under Dalglish in the 1980s during the Scot's first spell at the helm, admits the club are in a disastrous position.
"There is no getting away from the fact that Liverpool are now in a crisis," said Aldridge, writing in the Liverpool Echo. "To lose six out of seven in the league is something the club won't ever tolerate, we can't tolerate that.
"To have picked up just eight points out of 36 since the turn of the year is shambolic - that's relegation form. The fact that this is the worst run in the league since 1954 speaks volumes. Questions are being asked and they need to be answered.
"The eyes of the world are on Liverpool and the critics are having a field day. We're becoming a laughing stock. We're all proud to be associated with the club and everything it has achieved over the years. But at the moment being a Liverpool fan is just embarrassing and that's something I haven't had to say before."
And, while Dalglish has taken a lot of the flak for Liverpool's shortcomings, Aldridge believes it is the players who should shoulder more responsibility.
He said: "The team just seems to have lost their belief. You can blame the manager and the coaching staff but at the end of the day it comes down to the players. They are getting paid unbelievable amounts of money and aren't producing the goods.
"Some of them should take a long hard look in the mirror. They are playing for Liverpool Football Club - one of the biggest clubs in the world - it doesn't get much better than that. They need to realise how lucky they are and start doing it or their Anfield careers won't last much longer.
"More than anything I want to see some pride. That's all we're playing for in the league now but there doesn't seem to be much pride around."

O'Reilly's Peer-to-Peer Summit Synopsis: Transcript
Visit the Open Source Roundtable to listen to this discussion.
Dave Sims: Tim, you had people from peer-to-peer projects like FreeNet, Jabber, and Gnutella there, but you also had traditional companies, people from companies like IBM and Red Hat there. What were you trying to accomplish with the summit? What did you get out of the grouping you brought together?
Tim O'Reilly: Well, there were several things you have to understand about the meeting. The first was this was an exploratory meeting, but the main purpose was really to combat some of the ideas that I've seen floating around in the press. Everybody's hot under the collar about peer-to-peer as a result of Napster's success, and they're putting out a lot of messages that peer-to-peer is about the theft of intellectual property or the breakdown of the idea of intellectual property; there are a lot of scare stories. I look at this technology and I see it as part of a much bigger picture, and so I was trying to make a statement, partly by the people that I invited but also because I wanted to hear them talking to each other. I really saw the people I invited as falling into three or four groups.
First was the traditional peer-to-peer file-sharing applications that are getting so much attention. The second was a group of people who are looking at instant messaging as an application development platform. It's kind of coming out of the fringes, and it has a lot in common with the peer-to-peer tradition, and I wanted to explore that. I also invited people from projects that are involved in the definition of Web services. For example, there was somebody there from Microsoft and from IBM, the UDDI project, because it seems to me that the Web is itself evolving into a new kind of medium that needs to understand the concept of peering between Web servers in a different way. I was also looking to bring in people from device peering. If you look at projects like Jini or Bluetooth, they're really around the concept of devices finding each other, figuring out what they can do, and going from there. One way I like to characterize it is: If you think of instant messaging as a paradigmatic application -- instant message asks the question, "Are you there? Do you want to chat?" Napster asks the question, "Do you have this MP3 file?" Jini asks the question, "Are you a printer and do you know how to do my file?" All these are about people or devices forming in a sense ad hoc networks that are based on capabilities and needs.
Sims: Jon, your column in Byte last Monday gave a couple of different examples of peer-to-peer architecture. I wonder if we could draw up about 10,000 feet aside from the summit and characterize what peer-to-peer is and how it differs from the Web that we're used to using and the way we've grown used to using this client-server environment.
Jon Udell: Well, first I would like to add to that list that Tim just gave one more case, which is Popular Power asking a question, "Do you have compute cycles available for use?" -- which is not conventionally a peer-to-peer application, but it seems to share something in common with all of these other things, which is the notion that in this case the PC is an active partner on the network, and that really is how the Internet always was. But one of the points that came out very strongly at the meeting is that we've lost that capability in recent years for a couple of very specific reasons, one being the emergence of firewalls and NATs (network address translations), and the other being the fact that the vast majority of new users who have come to the Internet are appearing at dynamic IP addresses, so that although TCP/IP itself thinks generally in terms of end-to-end connections among peers, we've overlaid a kind of a client-server architecture on the Internet in what's become an artificial distortion of what it really is.
Clay Shirky is the guy that really pointed this out very forcefully, and I think he's absolutely right. The key breakthrough for ICQ and Napster was the ability to sort of bypass the DNS and bypass the shifting or uncontactable IP address and get directly to the actual machine or the actual person through some other channel. And that seems like a key development that's going to unlock a real pent-up demand for the kinds of peer-to-peer applications that I think otherwise would have emerged just naturally over time.
Sims: Metcalf's Law seems to come into play here. There's so many network servers on the Web that this seems to have the promise of making so many more machines that are really dumb clients servers, if you will, more active participants in the network. Even if the people who own or are carrying those machines aren't even really aware that they're sort of actively contributing to the network.
O'Reilly: Well, that's actually one of the other things that I think was fundamental to the Napster breakthrough. They simply didn't give people a choice of running a client or a server. They just said, "Hey, these things go together, like peanut butter and jelly. Let's basically give people this cool client, and there also happens to be a cool server."
Sims: You pay to play, you have to give up files in order to get files.
O'Reilly: Well, you don't absolutely have to, but the default condition is that you are a server. That's actually a very, very different condition than, for example, the Web went out with, where the default condition for a lot of people was, "You get to be a client," which is the Web as television. It was ironic because when the Web started, it had a lot of this vision of everybody can participate and things like the URL were a great step in that direction. You can literally reference any other document on the Web. You don't need centralization for that. There is a peer-to-peer addressing architecture. But as Jon pointed out earlier, there was a breakdown in that process because at a deeper architectural level where a lot of people, because they had dynamic addresses, weren't out all the time, they couldn't really run their own Web server, and that led to this artificial centralization to some extent. What's really interesting is that in some ways we're starting to say, "How could we re-invest the Web with more of these peer-to-peer characteristics?" as well as looking at new kinds of applications.
One of the things that I think is also really important to think about is the dimension of scope. It's very easy to imagine Napster, for example, as this globally spanning architecture that connects anybody and everybody, but at the end of the day peer-to-peer also has a very powerful element of finding and assembling smaller groups and the natural sort of associations of community. I think that's where there's going to be a very powerful set of applications. How do you build an ad hoc network? If you look at existing peer-to-peer applications, or applications that have elements of peer-to-peer even if they're not sort of purely peer-to-peer architecturally, they do lead to the formation, if you like, of additional interconnections, and the management of those interconnections and the capability to generate those interconnections on your own is a key element of what I think of as the big umbrella of the peer-to-peer.

ANCHORAGE — Environmental and Alaska Native groups on Wednesday appealed an air permit granted by the Environmental Protection Agency to a Shell Oil drilling ship that could be used this summer in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska's northern shore.
The groups claim the Kulluk and support vessels will put harmful pollutants into the skies, adding problems to a region already beset by climate warming, and that the EPA granted the permit without consideration of all national environmental laws and regulations.
"EPA did not analyze whether the Kulluk will comply with all standards, and they relied on modeling tricks to reduce the measured impact." Earthjustice attorney Colin O'Brien said.
The eight groups asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to intervene and send the permit back to the EPA for reconsideration.
The appeal was expected. A similar appeal was filed for an air permit granted to a second Shell drilling ship, the Noble Discoverer.
The EPA Appeals Board last month rejected review petitions for the Kulluk and earlier had done the same for the Noble Discoverer. Shell Alaska spokesman Curtis Smith repeated that the company expects the permits to stand up to court review.
"The EPA finding of no significant impact to the Arctic air shed and the subsequent validation of that permit by the EAB gives us a great deal of confidence that the permit, like the others we have achieved, will be upheld by the court," Smith said.
Shell plans to use the Noble Discoverer to drill three exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast. The company hopes to use the Kulluk to drill a pair of exploratory wells in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska's north coast.
The presence of two drill ships, according to the company, means that if there's a blowout, a backup vessel would be on hand to drill a relief well.
Drilling in Arctic waters is bitterly opposed by environmental groups and some Alaska Native groups, who contend oil skimmers and other mechanical cleanup devices will not work in waters that contain ice, from slush to icebergs.
They also fault the government for allowing drilling in a region with some of the harshest weather in the country and without basic infrastructure. Alaska's northern coastlines lack deep-water ports. The nearest permanent Coast Guard facility is in Kodiak, more than 1,000 miles away.
Shell in 2008 spent $2.1 billion on Chukchi leases in a sale that environmental groups contend was illegal because the federal government had not performed required environmental studies.
The appeal Wednesday was filed by Earthjustice on behalf of Alaska Wilderness League, Center for Biological Diversity, Natural Resources Defense Council, Northern Alaska Environmental Center, Pacific Environment, Resisting Environmental Destruction on Indigenous Lands, Sierra Club and The Wilderness Society.
The groups say the Kulluk and support vessels will spew carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and black carbon that will accelerate the loss of snow and sea ice., hurting both a fragile Arctic ecosystem that's home to endangered or threatened whales, polar bears and seals, and Alaska Native coastal communities that rely on the ocean for subsistence life.

The way I like to use ems in my CSS is when I'm setting line-heights. For some reason, my eye really likes a line-height of anywhere between 1.2 and 1.4ems (depending on the circumstance).
I think it's nice to set line-height this way because the line-height will always be in proportion to the size of your font.
Want to give it a try?

[Check out our unofficial Twitter FAQ and contribute your questions and answers!]
Advertising – in particular mobile advertising – has become a big deal on Twitter. While they have struggled behind Facebook when it comes to establishing such a service, it does exist and is gaining traction. People are realizing the benefits of having an actually structured, paid advertising campaign beyond just the usual optimization and marketing techniques they have been employing. Agencies are spending literally millions for promotion, and the results are extraordinary.
Twitter has an FAQ, and it has plenty of information for the average user. But it isn't complete… there are many questions left unanswered, especially when it comes to their advertising services and policies. If you are trying to establish your brand on social media, run a website, have a small business or even are promoting yourself, you need to know more about your advertising options. Twitter is, after all, going to be one of your most powerful tools for engagement.
Here is an "unofficial" Twitter advertising FAQ that you might find helpful.
How Does Twitter Measure Impressions?
Unlike many social sites, Twitter does not measure anything from organic content or traffic. Their impressions are measured using promoted content, specifically. According to the site, they collect data on how many times a user is served a promoted tweet in either search or timeline.
The good news about that? The more promoted tweets you post, the most your rate of success is going to be.
What Is a Twitter Profile's Average Engagement Rate?
This is a question that is asked a lot, but it doesn't have a solid answer. Twitter profiles are not all created equal; the klout of each is going to be different, as is the number of followers, the reach of a brand outside of Twitter, the amount of money put into marketing and advertising, other social media engagement efforts, ect.
Your best bet is not trying to find an average, but trying to measure your own Twitter engagement. Then using that information to improve it.
When Looking At Tweeted Links, What Is The Click Through Rate?
There is no way to estimate this for sure, but you can usually be sure of 3 – 5 clicks per link, depending on your overall engagement rate. The higher your engagement and followers, the more click through you are going to see.
Retweets of links are another factor. If you can encourage people to retweet your links (asking them is a simple way), you will spread it further and improve the potential for clicks.,
How Much Does It Cost To Advertise On Twitter?
This will depend on what kind of advertising you are seeking. There are three different types:
- Promoted Tweets
The least expensive, these are charged per engagement. They average between $0.50 – $4.00 per engagement, and usually fall somewhere around the middle.
- Promoted Accounts
This is the promotion of an entire profile, and it is also per engagement. They adverage between $2.00 – $4.00 with each engagement. Usually, it will fall around the higher end, the more popular it becomes.
- Promoted Trend
With this option you can trend a hashtag. This is a very expensive promotion tool meant to inject a great deal of traffic into a trend itself. Usually used by marketing firms for high profile clients, it may cost a whipping $200,000 per day.
How Much Should I Spend On Promotion To Bring In 10k Followers?
Promoted tweets will focus on the content you post. Promoted accounts will bring you actual followers by taking the user not to the tweet, but to your profile. But Twitter carries a minimum for this service, so you should start at $15,000 per three months.
That should take you over the 10k mark, and with further growth you should be able to double it as your exposure grows. But keep in mind that your budget might not be enough…on the high end of $4.00 per engagement, that could easily take you to $40,000 to get your 10k.
Twitter advertising can be an amazing social media marketing tool. It gives you exposure, but fits in with your budget. It allows you to set clear parameters, and also decide on the exact results you want to see. It is versatile, powerful and effective. Isn't it about time you gave it a try?

How to Use the Images Photos 1 & 2
Photos 1 & 2
Before climbing onto the plane on the morning of December 17, 1903, Orville Wright carefully set up his camera and asked John Daniels, one of the lifesavers, to snap the shutter just as the Flyer left the ground. Orville wrote, "This flight lasted only 12 seconds, but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed, and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it had started."¹
Questions for Photo 5
1. Why do you think Orville Wright set up his camera for this occasion? What does it tell you about his expectations for that day? Who took the photo?
2. What do you think is the significance of capturing this moment on film (to people of the time period and today)?
3. Based on Photo 5 and Reading 2, how was the Flyer launched? Based on Orville's quote, why was it important to launch the plane from level ground?
4. What parts of the Flyer can you identify in this photo? What made the Flyer different from the gliders?
¹As quoted in Russell Freedman, The Wright Brothers: How They Invented the Airplane (New York: Holiday House, 1991), 76.
* The photo on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 5, but be aware that the file will take as much as 25 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

AILA Doc. No. 11042931 | Dated April 29, 2011
Thursday, April 29, 2011

WASHINGTON, DC - The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) will celebrate its 5th Annual Citizenship Day on Saturday, April 30 by helping more than 2,500 legal permanent residents apply to become US citizens. In partnership with the "ya es hora ¡Ciudadanía!" campaign at more than half of the sites, AILA will hold 50 naturalization clinics in 19 states.
"It is our honor and privilege as immigration attorneys to serve immigrants in their effort to become naturalized citizens of the United States. This day is the best representation of what AILA is about and that's helping people who want to live and thrive in this country to become citizens who share the same rights and responsibilities as all Americans," said AILA President David Leopold.
As a single-day, nationwide event, AILA Citizenship Day provides free or low-cost assistance to eligible legal permanent residents who wish to apply for U.S. citizenship, utilizing partnerships between AILA chapters across the country and grassroots organizations such as the "ya es hora ¡Ciudadanía!" campaign. In 2011, AILA Citizenship Day will celebrate its 5th anniversary on a national scale and its fourth year with the campaign.
AILA's successes are due in large part to the national collaborative relationships that AILA has developed both with community organizations and stakeholders, as well as the USCIS Office of Citizenship. "The work we do together is much greater than the work we do apart," said Susan Timmons, AILA's Pro Bono Manager who coordinates Citizenship Day. "We reach at least a thousand more people with the help of our community partners than we'd be able to independent of them. Together we help hard working residents become citizens of the United States-we help them live their American dream."
"We are grateful to the more than 400 AILA attorneys and nearly 500 non attorneys who donate their time to this important event," said Leopold.
AILA Citizenship Day is an award winning venture, capturing the 2008 Award of Excellence in the Associations Advance America Awards program, a national competition sponsored by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and The Center for Association Leadership.
Citizenship Clinics will be held in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and Washington, DC. A list of clinic coordinators and their phone numbers is available after this release.

Several! I am crotchedy, apparently.JB Hi-Fi - Went recently to the closest store to get a new phone. They didn't have it in stock, but it was in their order arriving tomorrow. She'll call me then to arrange a time. Five weeks later, she still hasn't called me. After one week, we went to one slightly further away (by about 5mins) and was told that the phone guy wasn't there. Despite us ringing first to check if he would be. Not only that but the other phone guy (they had two employees that could handle phones) was sick and not expected back in for a while (he quit actually, which the other phone guy had already told us). Earliest we could get a phone was the weekend, several days away. Okay, we went on the weekend - no, sorry can't get a phone today. We went to a different store entirely.Shoe Shed - I bought a beautiful pair of black boots. I wore them twice for a couple hours each time. The heel separated from the boot. So I took them in to see if anything could be done. Seriously three hours wear out of a pair of boots that expensive? Not good. Not only would the sales assistant not do anything, she refused to even get the manager for something "that stupid". I have never set foot in another, and I buy a LOT of shoes. I have 119 pairs.tiger Air - this is my brother's story actually. He was trying to get back from Melbourne on his scheduled flight. A group of about twenty people were hanging around the check-in counter; apparently they were waiting for the CSR to get back to check them in. When he finally managed to get back from wherever, he decreed that it was past check-in time, despite everyone's watch showing it wasn't, and even the airport clock! Much protesting led to the CSR disappearing again. A day later, DB is still trying to get back, after being placed on standby after standby. Finally he gave up and booked a flight with a different airline. Tiger Air refuse to refund the money for the flight he couldn't get on. And refuse to answer calls. And e-mails. Except for a few snotty responses saying we will get to it, maybe. This was over a YEAR ago. Somehow, I don't think they are getting to it.
Oh, and Best Buy/HSBC will close your account if there are no purchases after two months. So you have a closed account with a balance on your credit report until it is taken care of. Yes, that was the account we had to close because it was destroying our credit so horrendously. How'd you guess?I was asked to leave my contact information
I worked for a photo lab chain for a dozen years. We had people come in all the time to copy photos for obits/funerals. We would tell them to get a release from the studio. If they didn't have a release, we'd turn them away. We'd feel bad about it, but that's the law. If they were nice to us while we told them this, we'd mention that the chain studio down the hall in the mall would give a release for anything, even if they didn't do the original photos. We needed a release so we wouldn't get sued. We wouldn't check to see if the release was from the actual photographer...
Apple Bees. I have had many bad experiences in this chain restaurant. I also know dozens of people who have had their own bad experiences. And the food is not even that good. It is mediocre at best.just two of the problems encountered:-Never served. We left after an hour wait. Our drink orders were taken, there was only a few other tables, at least five different people came over to check on us and ask us what our order was and said it was on our way. But nothing materialized. Not even the drinks. Finally we decided to leave. -Someone in our party left something in the bathroom during dinner. She went to get it and it was gone. She reported the loss to the hostess and waiter and they said they would not look for it, nor would they take her name in case it was found because "if it isn't there we JUST DON'T have it". They also forgot parts of our meal.
When I was 18, I started having serious joint pain and weakness. I went to one doctor, who said it was a sports related injury, had me do 3 months of physical therapy, declared me cured, and sent me on my way. Fair enough..I was young, and the joint problems could have been taken for a sports injury since I'd been in martial arts for a few years.Except the pain/weakness came back, even after I quit martial arts. Bad, throbbing pain, and such severe weakness that I had difficulty with a lot of basic tasks, and it had spread from just my knees and shoulders to my jaw and wrists and fingers. So I went to another doctor. This doctor..oh, boy. She told me that I either had lyme disease, or an STD, because there is apparently an STD that can cause joint pain. Except..I had never played scrabble. I hadn't even taken the scrabble tiles out of the box with someone else. There was no way it was an STD, and certainly not the one she was telling me it was.I told her it was in no way an STD, because I was an..inexperienced scrabble player. She basically said that there was no way that I had not played scrabble yet (I was in my early 20s), and she was going to test me for it anyways.Surprise, surprise..the tests came back negative for lyme disease and for the STD. She told me that it probably wasn't anything worth worrying about, and that she couldn't do anything for me because I was just too young to really have anything seriously wrong. She said I just needed more exercise. I never went back to her again. It took me nearly 10 years to find a doctor who was willing to look beyond my age and say "hey, yeah, there really isn't something right with your joints" and figure out what the heck was wrong with me. Turns out it was a genetic problem I'd had since birth, that just didn't manifest until I was in my teens. It basically caused my ligaments to lose their elasticity and strength, so they no longer hold my joints in place. I felt like calling up my previous doctor and saying "TOLD you there was something wrong with me..."
Thanks for the heads-up on the Shoe Shed, GoldenGemini. I'll steer clear of them from now on.I've only had a couple of run ins, and only one that's had me swearing never to go back.The local Big W has horrendous customer service. I've been ignored, talked over and brushed off more times than I can count. About a month ago I bought an armload of stuff there (not a huge sale but nothing to sneeze at) and the cashier didn't even stop her conversation with her colleague once while checking out my purchases. She didn't say one word to me, and gave me a dirty look when I asked for cash out. I keep going back there though because everything's so cheap and they sell a lot of stuff that I just can't get anywhere else in town.

"I have about ten or fifteen dealers who all travel the world," said Kimatni Rawlins, president and publisher of www.automotiverhythms.com, an online magazine that focuses on providing the urban African American community with everything they need to know about cars.
"We have a very intimate knowledge of not only the vehicles we test but also the competition. That gives us the edge." [People know what car they're purchasing but also why it's better or worse than other cars.]
That way, he added, people are empowered when they go into dealerships. They know exactly what they're looking for, they know pricing and what to expect from the vehicle [they're purchasing]. Rawlins and his team take readers beyond the dealership and that's what gives them the edge.
"Each year we kind of out do ourselves because we want to be ahead of the industry for consumers," Rawlins explained.
"The industry changes, for example safety, fuel maintenance. When you think about maintenance of a vehicle, many people just… when they buy a car go by the looks, especially the urban African American community. We're very tangible oriented. If it looks great, we want to go out and purchase it. We don't think about the long term ramifications of ownership like insurance, durability… any of that stuff…"
Rawlins started out with a column in about fifteen different publications about the automotive experience, which became very popular, spawning the idea for Automotive Rhythms, now an international company.
"Under that umbrella, we have a few other companies [such as] Automotive Rhythms TV, which is our [Website] where we do everything just as the magazine but we do it on video," Rawlins said.
"We have Bike Rhythms.com, where we evaluate the new bikes, whether it's sports bikes, choppers or cruisers for the urban bike community. And through that we promote rider safety, proper maintenance for bikes (like using high quality fuel, etc.). We attend a lot of bike conventions because that community is very loyal.
"It's a market that many kind of ignore because they have one image of the biker mentality. It's mostly untrue. They're very community activated. Their loyalists and they do a lot of promotions in the community so we tap into that as well.
"We [also] have Automotive Rhythms the magazine," he continued, "which is a quarterly magazine mainly for the events that we attend. It's a free copy in terms of auto information, lifestyles behind cars, entertainment aspects and it directs you back to the website. We think of ourselves basically as a one stop shop for all automotive needs."

Hi all!
Have been lurking here quite some time and finally decided to take the plunge. You guys have got it together, I must say. Its the only reason I decided to go hybrid. That and my disgust with .75!
Anyways, was going through the sequence using the video on YouTube and had gotten to the Loader portion and my computer would no longer connect/recognize the phone i.e. "unable to connect". I was able to connect to do backup etc. before.
Since this was the first time I had tried this, I freaked (well not really) and uninstalled .114 and deleted the folder for .114 in the Loader Files directory. So now there is only the .75 folder there which I installed directly from the VZW download.
Issues are 2:
1) Phone still not recognized/won't connect.
2) Still want to go hybrid but not until #1 is solved as this will be an issue during install of v3.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's annoying, and I'm sorry for not replying to any comments you guys have made. I'm gonna try to keep an eye on the posts longer. *promises*
But now, I Was Made to Love You, a surprisingly fruitful episode as far as polling goes...
1. Xander suggests that the reason Buffy hasn't found a great relationship on the Hellmouth is "because it's a Hellmouth". Work for you?
2. Ben gives his number to Buffy in a dating overture. Do you think he genuinely likes her or is he trying to get close to her because she's the Slayer?
3. As the Scoobies agree that April was created as a sexbot, Xander wistfully fantasizes: "I mean, what guy doesn't dream about that? Beautiful girl with no other thought but to please you...willing to do anything..." As he gets a nonreaction from the girls, he mentions that Oz would have gotten it. Would he have?
4. Speaking of the sexbot thing, Giles conveniently rushes off to help a customer in the midst of this exchange. Would Giles be down with a sexbot?
5. Willow is initially inclined to sympathize with Warren because he's obviously so lonely. Buffy disagrees with any sympathizing with him. What's your stance? (Keep in mind this is only for this one thing: building a sexbot. Ignore all his sleaziness in S6.)
6. Spike makes an appearance at the Magic Box to try to win over the Scoobies after his catastrophic falling out with Buffy in the last episode. Is he just trying to find a way to get back to Buffy or does he genuinely want to keep the Scoobies as kinda-friends?
7. Pretend you're a movie reviewer and give this episode a star rating:

Egypt's interim prime minister yesterday condemned an attack outside a Coptic Christian church the night before that killed four people, including an eight-year-old girl, and pledged that police would find and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Attacks against Egypt's Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the country's 90 million strong population, have increased in the aftermath of the popularly backed July 3 coup that ousted the country's Islamist president.
However, the attack late on Sunday was among the deadliest in weeks.
Two masked gunmen riding on a motorcycle opened fire at a wedding party in Cairo's Waraa neighborhood as guests were leaving the Virgin Mary church, killing four people, including a woman and a little girl, said Khaled el-Khateeb, a senior health ministry official. The attack also wounded 17 people, he said.
Egyptian Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi called the attack a "callous and criminal act," and vowed that such assaults will "not succeed in sowing divisions between the nation's Muslims and Christians."
The top cleric at al-Azhar, the world's primary seat of Sunni Islamic learning, also condemned the attack in a statement yesterday.
"It is a criminal act that runs contrary to both religion and morals," Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb said.
Egypt's Coptic Christians have long complained of discrimination by the country's Muslim majority, and more recently, over what they see as the failure by the government to protect their churches against militant Muslims.
"What is happening is that all of Egypt is being targeted, not just the Christians," said Father Dawoud, a priest at the Virgin Mary church.
The manner of Sunday's attack harkens back to Egypt's Islamist insurgency of the 1980s and 1990s, when militants attacked foreign tourists, Christians and senior government officials.
It is also the latest in a series of high-profile attacks blamed on Islamic militants in the country's capital since the July ouster of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi.
Islamic extremists are convinced that Christians played a significant role in the mass street protests that led to Morsi's ouster. Their spiritual leader, Pope Tawadros II, has publicly supported the coup.
However, an association of Christian activists blamed the military-backed government of el-Beblawi for Sunday night's attack, saying it has failed to protect churches since the August attacks south of the capital.
A Coptic youth group, known as The Association of Maspero Youth, also called for the dismissal of Egyptian Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, accusing him of "sponsoring" an April attack on the papal seat of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Cairo.
In other developments, thousands of students from al-Azhar University staged a third day of protests yesterday, security sources said, in one of the boldest challenges to the army since it toppled Morsi.
The demonstrations demanding Morsi's reinstatement are a delicate matter for the authorities because the administration at al-Azhar, the ancient seat of Sunni Muslim learning, has historically toed the government line.
The protests at al-Azhar campuses in Cairo and other cities are smaller than previous rallies against the army-backed government. Security sources said a total about 4,000 students were involved, of whom 44 had been arrested.

Flora and Fauna: 400 Years of Artists Inspired by Nature
11 May 2012 - 09 Sep 2012
Prints, Drawings and Photographs Galleries
Drawn from the NGC collections, this exhibition looks at the ways in which nature has been an enduring subject for artists over the centuries. A source of curiosity, consolation and spiritual regeneration, nature's complexity, its vulnerability and beauty have all been expressed in forms that are epic, analytical, and intimate. Each one of these approaches is represented in this installation of some 100 photographs, prints, drawings, paintings and installations of gardens, landscape and the small creatures that inhabit these spaces.
Organized by the National Gallery of Canada.
Art in the Courtyards by Lorraine Gilbert
Beaux-Arts and Tin House Courts
In the Byward Market, Ottawa
This outdoor installation features work by Lorraine Gilbert, a renowned Ottawa artist and landscape photographer. Gilbert's large-scale digital photographs of nature do not represent a single moment in time, but rather they are a seamless montage of hundreds of images recorded over many months.
This display explores the creative process that led to Gilbert's photographic mural La Macaza, Laurentians, Quebec (2010). This digital mural relates to two works by the photographer in the exhibition Flora and Fauna, now on view at the National Gallery of Canada.
Video: Landscape photographer Lorraine Gilbert explains the creative process in her large-scale digital landscapes.

Michael, a 9-year-old boy from Camillus, smiled as he described being on stage with a magician: "It was really, really cool."
The magician was part of the Nov. 3 "Lions & Tigers & Birds, Oh My!" celebration for the Margaret L. Williams Developmental Evaluation Center and the Kohl's Autism & Related Disorders Program.
"I was holding one orange ball. He was holding one red ball. Then, I opened my hand and I was holding the orange AND red balls," Michael explained. "I am still wondering how that guy did the trick. Maybe he has a teleporting device."
Michael was one of close to 100 children and adults who packed into a Syracuse church to watch magicians and jugglers cavort with giant puppets from Open Hand Theater. There were ostrich-like birds and penguins dancing on stage, elephants waddling in the aisles…even a tiger who yanked the pants off a lion tamer, exposing bright pink boxer shorts and delighting the crowd.
During a brief intermission, Carey, a KidSpeak puppet with Asperger syndrome, accepted a giant check from employees of Kohl's department stores, saying, "Seven was my favorite number. Now $247,299 is my favorite number!"
After the stage performance, snacks were served, and puppets mingled with guests. Sally, a KidSpeak puppet with autism, found a friend in Alexandria, 8, of Chittenango. Alexandria, who has Rett syndrome, laughed and smiled throughout the afternoon performance.
The celebration was in honor of the 30thanniversary of the Margaret Williams Center and the seventh anniversary of support from Kohl's Cares. The center, which sees children with complex developmental disabilities, is a joint program of the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital, Kohl's Cares and the New York State Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – In their last home meet as Bulldogs, the swimmers and divers of the Class of 2012 went out in style today as Yale defeated Cornell 189.5-93.5. Yale took 12 out of 14 swimming events including both relays and won both diving events. The win shores up Yale's dual season record to an even 1-1.
The Bulldogs found success early on in the three-meter diving event. Captain Rachel Rosenberg took the top spot with a score of 271.95, owing much of her score to straight sevens on a front two-and-a-half pike. Paige Meneses took third with a score of 251.63.
On one meter freshman Lauren Gardanier made her way to the podium, taking third with 236.40 points. Meneses finished second with a score of 266.85, while Rosenberg was far and away with 284.62 points. Rosenberg's score is more than nine points higher than her score against Cornell last year, and it qualifies her for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships in March, having already qualified on three-meter against Columbia. On her last dive, an inward one-and-a-half pike, Rosenberg brought in an eight and an eight-and-a-half, the highest scores of the day.
Heading into the afternoon's swimming events, the score was Yale 28, Cornell 10. With a win in the 200-yard medley relay, the lead grew even more. Yale's 'A' team of Cynthia Tsay, Athena Liao, Alexandra Forrester and Helena Gali finished in a time of 1:45.46, more than two-and-a-half seconds faster than Cornell's 'A' team (1:48.00).
Molly Albrecht captured the first individual win of the meet, taking the 1000-yard freestyle by a whopping 20 seconds. Albrecht had a lead of more than five seconds by the 250-yard mark and had a pool length on the field going into the last 200 yards. Her final time was 10:26.76; in second was Cornell's Adrienne Groccia in 10:47.07, followed closely by Courtney Randolph in third with a time of 10:48.77.
Joan Weaver had her first win of the day in the 200-yard freestyle, touching the wall in 1:52.74 ahead of Tsay (1:55.25) and Cassidy Lapp (1:56.98) to sweep the event for the Bulldogs.
Forrester was just as impressive in the 100-yard backstroke, clocking in at 56.73 ahead of Cornell's Emily Dean (58.90). Michelle Huang took third for Yale with a time of 1:01.11.
After winning six straight events, the Bulldogs finally ceded a win to the Big Red in the 100-yard breaststroke. Liao took third (1:05.35) and Chelsea Dunlap fourth (1:09.12), Liao just a little more than half a second away from first place. Cornell's 1-2 swimmers posted sub-31 splits for the first 50 yards that ultimately spelled victory for the Big Red, despite Liao having the second-fastest second 50 yards in the event.
Hayes Hyde picked things back up for Yale in the 200-yard butterfly. Hyde won by more than four seconds, finishing in a time of 2:04.03, a much faster swim than her performance at this meet last year (2:04.82). Hyde is an Olympic Trials qualifier in the 200-meter butterfly.
Weaver then had a career-best swim in the 50-yard freestyle. Normally a distance swimmer, Weaver touched the wall first from lane six to win the event in a time of 24.54 as part of a clean sweep for the Bulldogs. Gali finished second in 24.65, followed by Lapp in third with a time of 24.82.
Forrester and Albrecht each had their second individual wins of the meet in the 100-yard freestyle and the 200-yard backstroke, respectively. Forrester swam a 51.02, with Gali touching second for the Bulldogs. Albrecht clocked in at 2:06.10, with Tsay (2:09.82) taking second this time.
For her third individual win of the day, Weaver finished first in the 500-yard freestyle by more than two seconds. Weaver had a 1.25-second lead after the first 50 yards and from there she went to work. Her final time was 5:02.99, well ahead of Cornell's Meredith Drummond (5:05.20).
Yale's senior class was at it in the 100-yard butterfly. Hyde had the faster first 50, but Liao held on to finish within a second of her classmate. Hyde's time was 57.03, making for her second win of the day, while Liao posted a 57.91.
Tsay had her first win of the day in the 200 IM, bringing Yale's total to 13 events overall. Tsay had a lead after the butterfly and backstroke legs, but a strong breaststroke split from Cornell in lane three brought the race down to the final 50 yards. In the end Tsay's sub-30 freestyle split carried her to victory with a time of 2:09.05, while Angela Lee finished third (2:14.23) and Elizabeth Larsen fourth (2:14.59).
Already owning wins in the 50-, 200-, and 500-yard freestyle, Weaver posted the fastest time for the first 100 yards of the 400-yard freestyle relay to send the Bulldogs on their way to a win. Weaver, Gali, Forrester and Huang finished with a time of 3:31.74 as part of a 1-2 finish with Rebecca DeLaFuente, Lapp, Hyde and Albrecht (3:36.34). Cornell's 'A' squad finished in 3:39.07, making the final score of the meet 189.5-93.5.
Next up for the Bulldogs is an away meet against Dartmouth and Penn in Hanover, N.H., on Jan. 14.

Well, Yoenis Cespedes arrived to A's camp Saturday — sort of. He showed up to take his physical and met a few people, but the team isn't announcing he has joined the team yet. Passing his physical is the last step for the Cuban outfielder's four-year, $36 million deal to be finalized. It's rather odd to see a player walk into the clubhouse, shake some hands, but no one is officially acknowledging his existence. At any rate, Cespedes missed the first two weeks of spring training while awaiting his visa paperwork to be processed. He will join his teammates on the field Sunday and address the media for the first time. Players were having fun with his arrival. "It's a big day for you guys," Jonny Gomes joked to writers, knowing full well how much ink Cespedes has received before he even showed up.
In other news, A's manager Bob Melvin discussed his closer situation and said that choosing a ninth-inning man will depend partly on what the full composition of the bullpen looks like. He said spring results for veterans such as Grant Balfour and Brian Fuentes won't factor so much into the decision because of those pitchers' vast experience. He stopped short of labeling those two front runners to be closer. Fautino De Los Santos and Joey Devine are also under consideration.
But one factor in the decision will be how many left-handed relievers the A's break camp with. If Fuentes is the only lefty in the bullpen, for example, it might be tough to use him as closer because he might be needed for matchup situations earlier in the game. And that will take some time to play out. Jerry Blevins, Jordan Norberto and Pedro Figueroa, who has impressed early, are all lefty relievers who are legitimate candidates to make the team.
Manny Ramirez originally was going to serve as D.H. on Sunday against the Cubs in Mesa. Instead, Chris Carter will play that entire game at D.H. and Ramirez will start Monday's split-squad home game against the Angels. "Carter's the one guy, he had just one at-bat (Friday) and he's not starting (Saturday)," Melvin said. "So I'll give him several at-bats (Sunday)."
First baseman Daric Barton had an MRI on his surgically repaired right shoulder, which will delay his throwing program and likely hinder his chances in the first base competition. Barton said he started feeling sore recently as his throwing increased. After missing a couple of days, he was back doing infield work Saturday morning. He is scheduled to swing the bat Sunday and might be available to DH on Monday."It's good to be back on the field and be a part of the team again," Barton said.
We're off to Peoria for this afternoon's game against (who else!!) the Mariners. It's one of the longer Cactus League road trips for the A's. Surprise Stadium, spring home of the Rangers and Royals, still takes the prize for longest drive from A's headquarters.

The celebration Saturday begins with a Mass at the Owensboro Sportcenter, then moves to the RiverPark Center for concerts, food, children's activities and tours of the International Bluegrass Museum. The Messenger-Inquirer reports the newly renovated St. Stephens Cathedral in Owensboro will be open for tours for much of the day. Thirty-two western Kentucky counties make up the diocese, which was formed in 1937 by Pope Pius XI. It is home to 79 churches.

A $2,000 contribution from Christian Fellowship Church and almost $1,000 from Kelso Cumberland Presbyterian Church and its women's ministry, as well as numerous other contributions, have raised the total given to the Lincoln County Toy Drive to $16,270 as of Monday.
In its 46th year, the drive benefits local underprivileged children up to the age of 12 and is organized by the Fayetteville Fire Department, Fayetteville Rotary Club and The Elk Valley Times.
"Our community has really responded since our plea for donations last week," said Owen Bagley, a Rotarian and drive co-chair. "As we enter our last week to accept donations, we just want everyone who has contributed to know how much their gifts are appreciated.
"And if you haven't given yet but would like to make a donation, you still have time," he added, noting that contributions can be given to any Rotarian, Fayetteville fireman or mailed to The Times' office at P.O. Box 9, Fayetteville.
Donations of money and/or toys will continue to be accepted through Friday, say organizers, who have the names of approximately 700 Lincoln County children on the list to benefit from the drive this year. One hundred percent of donations go to the purchase of toys for the children. If you wish to contribute but would like to remain anonymous, simply note that on your check.
Donations of new toys can also be taken by The Times at 418 North Elk Avenue, the Fayetteville Fire Department at 300 West Market Street, or Sir's Fabrics, 110 North Elk Avenue, as well as other locations across the city and county.
Drive organizers expressed their appreciation, too, to the Marshes and Big G Express, which is providing organizers two large trailers for transporting the toys on buy nights, and to Britt Dye and Fayetteville Public Utilities for helping with a truck and drivers on the buy nights. Additionally, they thanked Triad Packaging out of Athens, Ala., which donates boxes to the drive every year.

The No. 3 Harvard men's squash team begins its season Friday against Boston College at the MIT Round-Robin Tournament. Harvard is looking to build on its strong showing in 2011-12 when the squad went 16-4 and finished third at the College Squash Association Team Championships.
Last Season
Harvard outlasted Cornell, 5-4, in the third-place match of the CSA Team Championships in Princeton, N.J. Ali Farag breezed to an easy victory at No. 1, while then-junior captain No. 8 Jason Michas and then-sophomore No. 2 Brandon McLaughlin both rallied from 2-0 deficits to lift Harvard past the Big Red.
Welcome Back
Harvard returns nearly everybody from last year's squad with Will Ahmed '12 serving as the lone exception. Defending national champion Ali Farag returns for his junior season after posting an 11-0 mark at the No. 1 position and 16-0 record overall in his inaugural campaign in Cambridge. He's joined by fellow All-American Brandon McLaughlin, who finished 10-8. Overall, Harvard returns 97.6 percent (160/164) of its matches won in 2011-12.
Third is the Word
In the CSA preseason rankings, Harvard was ranked as the third best team in college squash. The Crimson sits behind No. 1 Princeton and No. 2 Trinity, who finished in those positions to conclude last season, as well.

New Faces
Six freshman will join the squad for the 2012-13 season. They are Walker Evans, Sam Goldberg, Peter Janulis, Jake Matthews, Matt Roberts and James Watkins. The sextet hails from four states (Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut) and three countries (the United States, South Africa and the United Kingdom).
Leading the Way
Mike Way, The Gregory Lee '87 and Russell Ball '88 Endowed Coach for Squash at Harvard University, returns for his third season at the helm of the Crimson. In two seasons, his teams have posted a combined 25-10 mark, including a 16-4 record last year. Both of his assistants, Reg Schonborn and Luke Hammond, are back for 2012-13, as well.

Successful Starts
Harvard is 55-1 in its last 56 opening matches dating back to 1956. The Crimson has won 34 consecutive lid lifters, including 26 by shutout after last year's 9-0 win against Williams, since falling to Western Ontario, 5-4, to kickoff the 1977-78 season.
About Boston College
The Eagles finished last season in the same spot as it begins 2012-13 – ranked 33rd. The Eagles won the Chaffee Cup (E Division) championship to conclude an 8-10 year. No. 1 Milo Watanabe and No. 3 Josh Ko both return from last year, while No. 2 Josh Rosenblat and No. 4 Teddy Taylor were lost to graduation.
Up Next
The Harvard men will enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday before returning to action at home Nov. 28 against Dartmouth at 5 p.m.

UVM Plans New China Semester Abroad Program for Fall
- 01-13-2014
- By Erica Houskeeper
The University of Vermont will offer an 18-credit China Semester Abroad program in conjunction with Ocean University in Qingdao this fall.
UVM's China Semester Abroad program is open to any student interested in understanding China's dynamic culture and economy and how to work effectively in the Chinese business market. The program also includes an internship where teams of students will work on a designated research assignment for an area company or non-profit organization. The deadline to apply is March 5.
"We have designed a semester abroad program experience that offers both language and cultural skills to work and live effectively in China. Through a semester-long internship, students will also gain valuable hands-on experience working in a Chinese company or organization," said Gregory Dunkling, UVM's global team director. "Our aim is to provide students with real experiences that will build their resume for future employment."
China has become one of the most popular study abroad destinations for students around the world because of its culture, language, history and powerful influence in the global marketplace.
As the fastest growing economy, China largely influences how the world will approach business in the future. China is one of the world's top exporters and is attracting record amounts of foreign investment. Participating in UVM's study abroad program in China can give students the opportunity to learn Chinese and engage directly with China's business environment.
Spending a semester in China may also help students gain a competitive edge in the job market. According to the Economic Policy Institute, unemployment remains high for young college graduates, and those 20-somethings that do find jobs will likely have to settle for entry-level positions.
As China positions itself as an economic superpower, understanding and speaking the Chinese language is a valuable skill and becoming increasingly important in the United States and beyond. Chinese is the language of nearly 20 percent of the world's population, according to the China Education Center. Native Chinese speakers not only live in Mainland China, but also Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and across the globe.
International students choose to study Chinese language with the expectation of fulfilling employment opportunities in business, education, finance, banking, travel, media and more.
UVM will also offer Doing Business in China, a four-credit summer program from May 21-June 16, 2014. Students should apply to participate in either of these programs before March 5, 2014.

it's been stuffed into XT's, there's a few folks running EG33 swapped XT's on subaruxt.com, so they're quite familiar with installing them in other subaru's. two are members here but rarely post. they are regulars on subaruxt.com.
transmissions commonly fail, they need good ATF cooling. but that's a nonissue with a swap.

I own a early 92 SVX and I'm more tempted to yard out the EG33 and put it in my outback. #1, OB is a hell of a lot lighter than the SVX. #2 5 doors > 3 doors. #3 SVX parted out is worth more than it is sitting complete.

I've always embraced spinach salads. They're fresh with a nice amount of crunch and flavor.
But combine this hearty green with a little heat and moisture, and the results can be a little more challenging to appreciate. Cooked spinach has a tendency to get so darned slimy.
For years, mine was an extreme bias. Then I encountered a plateful of creamed spinach that was pleasantly textured. Instead of long, slippery strings of dark-green foliage, the mixture was light and fresh with emerald flecks mingling against a creamy base. Even the flavor was superior: rich and elegant, with no bitter aftertaste. It so inspired the inner cook in me that I decided to devote a little time with the raw product to see if I could duplicate the recipe.
The first try involved sauteing a bit of onion in a bit of oil, then piling on a mountain of fresh, well-rinsed spinach and stirring until the leaves shrivelled and shrank. I then combined the mixture with a bit of cream in my blender.
During my days in a San Francisco test kitchen, I learned that the first go-around may appear doubtful but usually provides the most insight into the solution. My youngest son, who hadn't fledged the roost yet, wasn't bringing similar professional experience to the dinner table. But thankfully, his critique was brief: "How can you even consider eating that? It looks gross."
True, it seemed a little too green (more of an Andy Warhol interpretation of creamed spinach than the real deal) and simply too smooth and soupy (unless I was developing recipes for Gerber). But the flavor was good, which was encouraging. So the following day, I did a little more research to learn how creamed spinach is approached from a classic-cooking sense.
In "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck encourage readers to first blanch the leaves and then, when all the water is pressed out, to simmer the vegetable in butter, stock or cream. Well I tried that, even though I suspected it was exactly this classic treatment that I had gone to great lengths to avoid all through childhood.
My instincts were correct. Simmering the spinach in a liquid — even after coarsely chopping the leaves — in no way alters the unalterable fact that the key ingredient will be slimy. This dish would have gagged any youngster with a keen imagination.
However, further review convinced me that blanching the spinach then wringing it dry was an important first step. Finally, real progress was made when I switched from blender to food processor in the all-important act of desliming the long strands of spinach. The short but powerful bursts from the blade in my food processor effectively minced the leaves into small but visible specks rather than soup.
In between blanching and processing came a bit of sauteing of onions and garlic and simmering of cream. Ultimately, I was uttering the cry of victory: Voila! That's French for "It's not slimy, the color is good and it tastes marvelous."
Taking my creamed spinach to another level is quite simple. Beyond the following tips, consider the creamed spinach soup that I'm also providing. It's a great meal in and unto itself:
Scrape creamed spinach into a shallow, ovenproof dish and sprinkle with a mixture of grated Swiss and Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup of each). Broil until golden and serve.
For a simple, make-ahead spinach casserole, whisk 1 lightly beaten egg and 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss or Monterey Jack, for example) into a batch of cooled, creamed spinach (may be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated). Bake in a 350-degree oven until lightly puffed and a thin knife inserted in center comes out relatively clean, about 25 minutes.
For a reduced-calorie and -fat version, substitute milk, light cream or chicken broth for the heavy cream and reduce the butter/oil to 1 tablespoon.

As her new album title suggests, India.Arie's "Songversation" show features both music and conversation with the audience — an "intimate" experience that well suits the Atlanta-born singer, songwriter and daughter of Detroit-born pro basketball player Ralph Simpson.
But Arie says that not long before its June release, when another album titled "Open Door" was rejected by her record company, she felt like her conversation with music was coming to an end.
"I lot of different aspects of my life were in the 'cocoon' phase," Arie, 38, explains. "There was career stuff, health stuff, spiritual and emotional stuff, family stuff. I just went to a very deep place of healing with all of it. I really was going to go back to college and just have a life that was in order, and for me that meant leaving the music industry.
"But my music called me back, and I'm glad I listened."
"Songversation" also finds Arie and her Soulbird Music label back in the current Motown Records family, which also released her first three albums. She says it's purely a business decision, but she's certainly not complaining about the association.
"I think the legacy is going to be cool," acknowledges Arie, who's developed a close friendship with Stevie Wonder via their shared label connection. "Being part of that legacy is important because Motown and Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and all of that, it belongs to everyone, but as an African-American I'm proud to say it's my culture. As I travel the world, I realize that's part of my culture, so it's very special to have that association be part of my life and my work."
India.Arie performs at 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, at Sound Board in the Motor City Casino Hotel, 2901 Grand River Ave., Detroit. Tickets are $40-$50. Call 1-866-783-9622 or visit www.soundboarddetroit.com.

CLAY COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - What started out as a routine check soon turned into a disturbing discovery for police.
After receiving a drug complaint Monday afternoon, the Clay County Sheriff's Office says deputies found a one step meth lab in a barn on Teges Creek Road.
When police went to search the home on the property, they say they found a man with special needs alone inside.
"The individuals that were on probation or parole were supposed to be taking care of a special needs adult. After we gained entrance into the residence to see if anybody was there is when we found the special needs adult who apparently has had nothing to eat in a couple days," Clay County Sheriff Kevin Johnson told WKYT.
They Clay County Sheriff's Office took the man to the hospital to be treated.
We're told no arrests have been made in the case.

Quick Slants:
- They ran three pitches on the opening TD drive to try to get the running game going. They gained 13 yards on them and barely ran the ball the rest of the way.
- The Bills now have had four different players throw touchdown passes this year. First time in club history that two non-QBs have TD passes.
- The Bills have now had a 7-0 lead in the last three games.
- The Bills had as many first downs in the first half as they did all of last week's game. None of them were on a running play as they ran it only seven times in the first half.
- Ryan Fitzpatrick took over for Edwards after he gave up an interception return for a score. He then went four and out before throwing a pick for a score himself. The Bills not only don't have a number one quarterback they may have three number three quarterbacks.
My Take:
This game followed the same script as the Houston, New Orleans, and New England games as the team collapsed in the fourth quarter. It proves once again that they are a mentally weak team with not enough character to get the job done. It doesn't help that they also lack talent to overcome all the injuries they have had this year. The offensive line wasn't good to begin with but all the injuries and the loss of Jonathan Scott they were forced to play a rookie at the most important position on the line. Andy Levitre hadn't lined up at tackle all offseason let alone during the season. It appears like it will be a long second half of the season as the team painfully limps to the finish and the major offseason overhaul that has to take place.
What's Ahead:
The Bills remain on the road next week as they head even further south to take on the Jaguars in Jacksonville. It is a city with perhaps the worst home field advantage in the league thanks to fan apathy. The Jaguars are mediocre but are surging right now as they have risen to 5-4 so it will be tough for the Bills to hang with them.

I didn't know where to put this, but I wanted to give this poor little creature a memorial of some kind. I was shocked and saddened to see a story/picture of a cruelty case about this injured and abandoned staffordshire puppy found in the woods on the front page of our local (and free!) paper. It's so absolutely sad, my heart is breaking for him because he had survived for a long time and when finally at the vet's he wagged his tail, but was PTS because his injuries were too severe. Despite that, I am so glad that things like this are getting publicity. I do hope that the monster who did this can be found, named and shamed!!!
If you can handle reading about the case you can look it up on the TSPCA website or on this link through the South Tipp Today, but be warned- it is very graphic: http://www.southtipptoday.ie/south/P...ned.6638293.jp.
My apologies for posting this here, but I need to express my feelings about it to some fellow like-minded people. I just can't believe the cruelty in this world sometimes, it's so horrifying that the most innocent of creatures who put their trust in us are abused like this...
Rest in Peace little pup.

Mondelez International Inc., the world's biggest chocolatier, has agreed to work to improve the well-being of women cocoa farmers after an Oxfam International report detailed corporate shortcomings in human rights and sustainability.
Mondelez is the third company in the past two months to pledge to assess the conditions of women in its supply chain and address gender inequality since an Oxfam campaign rated 10 food companies on their policies. The Deerfield, -based company, spun off from Kraft Foods Inc. last year, joins Nestle SA and Mars Inc. in adjusting its practices since the Oxfam report. The three companies together control 42 percent of the world chocolate market.
"An increased involvement of women in the supply base leads to improved financial management by farmers, better education for youth and more sustainable, thriving communities," Christine McGrath, vice president of external affairs and cocoa life at Mondelez, said in a statement.
Greater corporate concern for human rights, endorsed by the United Nations in 2011, has been urged by advocacy groups as businesses expand operations in sub-Saharan Africa and other developing regions. Companies including ConAgra Foods Inc. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc have joined initiatives such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and created certifications such as Fair Trade to monitor business practices and encourage improvements.
Failing Grades
Oxfam, a humanitarian advocacy group, gave major food businesses including Associated British Foods Plc and Kellogg Co. failing grades in a report in February examining corporate policies in seven areas: the land rights of small farmers; exploitation of women, farmers and workers; climate change; business transparency; and water use. Companies were rated on a scale of 1 to 10.
Nestle, which had the highest overall score of 38 out of a possible 70 in the study, scored 4 on women's issues, while Mars, fifth overall, received a 1. Mondelez scored 2 on women and placed sixth overall. None of the 10 companies profiled at the time knew or were trying to find out how many women farmers are involved in their supply chains or what kind of farming activities they are engaged in, Oxfam said.
UN Principles
As part of its efforts to improve the fortunes of women farmers, Mondelez will sign the UN Women Empowerment Principles by the end of this week, the company said. It is the first of the three major chocolate producers to sign the UN document, which outlines ways to help women in workplaces, markets and communities.
The 10 businesses studied in Oxfam's study are among the top producers in the global food-and-beverage industry, which Istanbul-based consultancy IMAP Inc. values at almost $7 trillion. Nestle, the world's largest food company, last year had revenues of $92.2 billion.
Cocoa, grown largely in West Africa, rose to a four-month high today in trading on ICE Futures U.S. in New York on speculation that the region's selling will slow and supplies may shrink. The price reached $2,355, the highest for a most-active contract since Dec. 21, and was $2,325 a ton, up 0.6 percent, at 11:06 a.m. The price had risen 3.3 percent this year through yesterday.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Heightened measures following the Boston bombings have led to the cancellation of one of New Mexico's largest triathlons.
The Jay Benson Triathlon had been scheduled Sunday at Kirtland Air Force Base.
The sponsor has told the hundreds of expected participants that it's canceled and is offering full refunds.
Duane Kinsley is the owner of Sports Systems, the title sponsor of the event. He says the retail store couldn't meet increased requirements to get participants on base. Those included submitting Social Security and driver's license numbers for athletes.
Kinsley says the need for safety is understandable and that the sponsors will try to find a new venue for next year's event.

Mr Mathur would seem to be just another trader buying raw materials in Africa and selling them to distant, wealthier markets.

Welcome to Indian Vegetarian Kitchen!

Sambar Sadham
Sambar Sadham is a quick and delicious one pot meal adapted from Edible Garden. Thanks for the recipe Nags. I modified the recipe to suit my taste. Piping hot sambar sadham with ghee drizzled all over is very satisfying and comforting any time of the day!
Serves 3
Oil-1 tbsp
Mustard Seeds-1 tsp
Fenugreek Seeds-1/2 tsp
Curry leaves-a few
Ginger grated-1 tsp
Hing-1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
Tamarind-small lime size ball
Thur dal-1/3 cup
Rice-2/3 cup
Sambar Powder-2 tbsp
Coconut grated-2 tbsp
Ghee-2 tbsp
Coriander leaves- to garnish
Veggies I used:
Onion Sliced-1/2 cup
Peas-a handful
Capsicum-1 small
Of course, you can use any veggies of your choice.
Soak tamarind in 1.5 cups of warm water.
Heat oil in a pressure cooker.
Add mustard seeds, curry leaves and fenugreek seeds.
When mustard seeds crackle, add ginger and all the veggies one by one.
Sprinkle salt and hing.
Fry for 5 minutes.
Extract 2 cups of tamarind water and add it to the veggies.
Add sambar powder, turmeric powder, coconut and salt.
Rinse rice and dal and add.
Add 2.5 cups of water.
Close the lid and pressure cook for 6-7 whistles(till rice and dal become mushy).
When pressure is released, open the lid and garnish with coriander leaves.
Drizzle ghee just before serving.
Serve with raitha and chips.
Note: I have used 2 cups of tamarind water and 2.5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice and dal mixture.
You may soak thur dal in warm water for 30 minutes before pressure cooking just to make sure it is fully cooked.

"I've seen this in every low-income area I've ever visited -- I don't care what color they are -- when people feel as though they're lacking in everything, the humanity is jeopardized, it just is. ... I do believe the best form of social service is a job and creating opportunities for people to be gainfully employed in support of their own tax base and in support of their own schools, in support of housing, then I think things will change for the better."
-- Majora Carter, urban revitalization strategist, speaking today (Sept. 5) during the first event of the 2013-14 Penn State Forum Speaker Series at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel. Carter spoke of successful revitalization initiatives in her native South Bronx, N.Y., including green jobs training, economic development and beautification projects.
