With all the sweating, farting, and exertion of a regular yoga session, you'll probably want to pick up some sulfuric acid rather than this Jo-Sha wipe stuff. However, if you want to be a hippie, go ahead and buy these biodegradable wipes in flavors like peppermint, lavender, and tangerine.
The wipes are completely organic and come in recyclable packaging. Great for improving the karma after buying a big-screen TV, a bottle of Glenfiddich, and yelling at your kids.

text: HOUSTON -- Theres something about the sixth inning in the last week for Nelson Cruz. Hes hit game-tying home runs in the frame in three games in a week for the Texas Rangers. The latest one came on Saturday night when Cruz, Adrian Beltre and Lance Berkman all homered to back up another solid outing by Yu Darvish, and the Rangers held on for an 8-7 win over the Houston Astros. His first one came Sunday in a win over Boston, and he also did it in a victory over Houston Friday. "I wish we could play the sixth inning to start every (game)," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "That was a big hit. That was a real big hit." Cruz struggled to quantify whats been different for him lately. "I guess I get more focused," said Cruz, who has nine homers this season. "Its something you cant explain; its baseball. Its something Ive been doing all my career, late in the innings making sure I get my focus." Darvish (6-1) yielded three hits and three runs, leaving after the seventh with an 8-3 lead. In his previous outing against the Astros, he came within one out of pitching a perfect game at Houston on April 2. Matt Dominguez homered twice off Darvish. Dominguez didnt play in the first game against the Japanese star this season. "I think the only thing he struggled with today was Dominguez," Washington said. "Other than that, I thought he did a good job. He handled the rest of the lineup. He just threw two pitches to Dominguez that he didnt miss." Darvish didnt think any player had ever taken him deep more than once in a game before Saturday, but then he realized that wasnt true. "Thats what I thought, but then I recalled in high school I think I gave up two home runs to the same hitter in a game," he said through a translator. Dominguez, who didnt have a homer before Saturday, was excited to face Darvish, since he missed him the first time around. "Thats kind of big for me," he said. "I was waiting for my first home run to come, and it took a while. But to go out and face him and be able to do it off him, such a great pitcher, its a big confidence boost." Houston led 3-1 before it was done in by its bullpen during a six-run sixth inning by the Rangers. Cruz, who also homered on Friday night, got things going with his two-run homer off reliever Philip Humber (0-8) that tied it. Pinch-hitter David Murphy put the Rangers on top with an RBI double. Humber, who was moved out of the rotation this week, was rocked for five hits and five runs while getting only two outs. "Obviously that one is on me," Humber said. "I didnt execute some pitches I needed to execute, and they made me pay for it." The Astros scored three times in the ninth to cut the lead to one run, but closer Joe Nathan settled down to retire pinch-hitter Chris Carter to end it and get his 11th save. Darvish fanned eight and leads the majors with 80 strikeouts. With 301 career strikeouts, he joined Dwight Gooden (319) as the only pitchers in major league history to reach at least 300 in their first 37 major league starts. Darvish improved to 3-0 with 33 strikeouts in three career starts against the Astros. The Houston bullpen trouble ruined a nice night for starter Erik Bedard, who allowed four hits and two runs with seven strikeouts in five innings. Beltre put Texas up 1-0 with a solo homer to start the second. Darvish retired the first seven batters before Dominguez launched a solo drive in the third. Marwin Gonzalez, who singled to break up Darvishs perfect game with two outs in the ninth last month, followed with an infield hit. Dominguezs two-run homer in the fifth put Houston ahead 3-1. It was the first multihomer game of his career. Berkman extended his hitting streak at Minute Maid Park to 17 games with a single to start the sixth inning that chased Bedard. Humber took over and struck out Beltre before the trouble began. Cruz tied it at 3 with a homer that landed in Houstons bullpen in right-centre field. Moreland followed with a soaring triple, which landed on Tals Hill just in front of the centre-field wall at the 436-foot mark. Murphys ground-rule double made it 4-3. Geovany Soto walked, pinch-hitter Leonys Martin hit a two-run triple and Elvis Andrus had an RBI single for a 7-3 lead, chasing Humber. Berkman hit a solo homer to left-centre field off Jose Cisnero to start the seventh inning. A sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve got Houston within 8-4 in the eighth inning. Carlos Corporan singled and Carlos Pena doubled to start Houstons ninth, and the Rangers replaced Michael Kirkman with Nathan. Trevor Crowe hit an RBI single to make it 8-6, Nathan threw a wild pitch that scored a run and Gonzalez had a sacrifice fly. Robbie Grossman walked before Carters fly ball ended the game. NOTES: Murphy was shaken up when he crashed into the wall in left field trying to catch a double by Grossman in the eighth inning, but he remained in the game and Washington said he was OK. ... Texas pitching coach Mike Maddux missed Saturdays game to attend daughter Makaylas graduation from TCU. Bullpen coach Andy Hawkins filled in for him, and minor league pitching co-ordinator Danny Clark joined the team as bullpen coach for the night. ... Houston OF Fernando Martinez cleared waivers and will be outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City. ...

Greenpeace has undertaken an information-sharing tour amongst communities who will be affected by the Herakles Farms project. The meetings have shown that a majority of village residents knew little of the devastating impact the project could have on their land, livelihood and local environment. The prior informed consent of local residents who, will be affected is a standard precondition for any company undertaking a large-scale land deal in Africa. Herakles Farms has failed to conduct a sufficient process in this regard.
Adolf Ngbe Ebong is the regent of Babensi 2 Village in South West Region Cameroon. The village borders Talangaye, with whom it shares a common border. The area is at the heart of the area Herakles Farms is trying to convert into a palm oil plantation comprising 73,000 hectares.

Ronnie O'Sullivan eased to a first-round win at the Betfred World Championship then walked straight into trouble in Sheffield.
The five-time world champion beat David Gilbert 10-7 but refused to talk to the media or carry out the after-match press conference.
He now faces disciplinary action from World Snooker, which could involve a fine.
Gilbert said it was the "best I have ever played without winning" and he was left to rue several missed chances to cause another Crucible shock, after defending champion Stuart Bingham and 2005 winner Shaun Murphy crashed out on the opening weekend.
O'Sullivan returned with a 6-3 overnight lead in their best-of-19 contest.
Gilbert - enjoying one of his best seasons as a professional - looked calm backstage, and he came out in determined fashion. Breaks of 60 and 62 wrapped up the opening frame.
And it should have been 6-5, but the Tamworth potter missed a red to the centre on a 41 break and O'Sullivan nipped in.
The Essex cueman fired in a 101 break - his first century of the tournament - to move 8-4 ahead, but Gilbert cut the deficit in a scrappy frame to head off to the mid-session interval trailing 8-5.
A 61 clearance from Gilbert made it 8-6, and he had chances in the next frame.
O'Sullivan was left slumped over the table, after missing the brown on a 29 break, but Gilbert could not capitalise.
Missed chances was a theme of the match, and O'Sullivan's 51 break was enough to punish his opponent, who came through three rounds of qualifiers to reach the Crucible.
Gilbert's 71 break was one defiant last stand to make it 9-7, but O'Sullivan was not to be denied, his 72 clearance easing him through to the second round.
World Snooker issued a statement regarding O'Sullivan's non-appearance in front of the media, confirming he will face disciplinary procedures.
It read: "All players have a responsibility to the sport, and in particular to their fans. This includes fulfilling media obligations at events. Any players found to be in breach of these rules will be referred to the disciplinary process."
Elsewhere, John Higgins looked in top form, leading Ryan Day 7-2. Their match plays to and end on Tuesday.

Apparent robbery turns deadly in Ralston
One woman is dead after an apparent apartment robbery near 84th and L streets.
Ralston police tell KETV NewsWatch 7 the shooting victim is Amiee Kearns, 42. She lived in the apartment targeted by two men with handguns.
-- Video: Victim in robbery, shooting dies in Ralston apartment
They demanded money before shooting Kearns just before midnight, police said.
Ralston Police Chief Ron Murtaugh said there appears to be evidence of forced entry into the lower level Orleans apartment.
The suspects fled in an older model, light blue Lincoln Continental or Ford. Police tell KETV NewsWatch 7 they have several good leads in this case.
"Two Hispanic males are described as short in stature, smaller in stature, one in all black from head to toe the other with a bandana," Murtaugh said.
Murtaugh said this is the first murder in the city in more than a decade.
Jim Trotter, a job recruiter, said Kearns had a job waiting for her in Virginia and wasn't even supposed to be at her apartment.
"She was actually supposed to start on Oct. 15. She'd already missed her original start date," Trotter said. "Then the company called on Oct. 21, which was a Monday, and said, 'Amiee's not here.'"
Trotter doesn't know why Kearns decided to stay here, but he said her new employer had already paid her $2,000 for the move.
"Once she got that credit card from the company, never heard another word from her," Trotter said.
KETV NewsWatch 7 learned Kearns owned $1,800 in rent and faced charges in Page County, Iowa, for bad checks where she still owes about $300 in restitution.
Kearns was also arrested in January 2012 in St. Joseph, Mo., her hometown. Authorities said she never paid traffic tickets and didn't show up for court.
Kearns had no criminal history in Omaha.

Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is a progressive loss of the
ability to hear high frequencies, which occurs as people get older. The primary
symptom is problems understanding speech, especially in the presence of
background noise.
It is unknown whether a specific cause, such as long-term exposure
to excessive noise, contributes to age-related hearing loss. But it
does appear to be a genetic condition, as it tends to occur in families.
The number of nerve cells in the middle ear may begin to decline as
early as age 30 or 40, although hearing loss rarely becomes noticeable before
age 55. But hearing loss is not necessarily an inevitable part of aging.
Many people in their 80s do not have hearing loss.
There is no known cure for age-related hearing loss. Treatment is
focused on improving function, such as by using hearing aids.

Roules d'Aubergines au Chevre (Goat Cheese Eggplant Rollups)
I had half a tray of ice cubes left of my pistachio pesto and 2 beautiful eggplants. We had a very nice sunny day today in Northern California. I wanted to make something light and fresh. The roulés d'aubergines au chèvre are a good starter course.
Yields: 62 purple aubergines
5 g goat cheese
4 Tbs plain whole yogurt
2 Tbs Whole milk
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp white peppercorn, freshly ground
6 Tbs pistachio pesto
1 red bell pepper, charred, peeled, seeded
1 Tbs roast garlic puree
2 Tbs avocado oil
6 Tbs simple tomato sauce
2 drop Tabasco
2 Tbs capers
1/2 tsp peppercorns, freshly ground for sauce
6 Tbs lemon vinaigrette
Slice the eggplants lengthwise in 5 pieces. Layer a cookie sheet o top of a cooling rack, then place the eggplant slices on top. Sprinkle salt and let sit for 1/2 hour. Pat dry with kitchen towel.
Brush a hot griddle pan with oil. Drizzle oil on the eggplant slices, then place the slices on the griddler, cook until you get grill marks (about 4 minutes on each side). Remove from the heat and transfer on a plate. Let cool down.
In a mixing bowl, soften the goat cheese with yogurt and milk. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Spread an even coat of the goat cheese mixture on each slice of grilled eggplant. Add another thin layer of pistachio pesto. Carefully roll up the eggplant tightly. Secure with a toothpick if the eggplant does not roll properly.
In food processor, place sliced bell pepper (reserve a little for decoration at the end), garlic puree, avocado oil, tomato sauce and tabasco. Run the machine for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
On a long serving platter, pour the bell pepper sauce then place each eggplant rollups, garnish with capers and the remaining sliced bell pepper. Finish with some vinaigrette.
Bon appétit!
5 grams of goat cheese is about a little more than half of a crottin of chèvre.
Roasted bell peppers is pretty easy and inexpensive. Wash the bell pepper, pat dry, then brush with oil. Place a grill on your stove, then char all the skin of the bell pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Wash the bell pepper under running tap water, the skin will come right off.
It's very easy to make roasted garlic puree. I'll show you in another post.
If you find goat cheese to be too strong for your palate. You can use mascarpone cheese, it is creamier and much softer in flavor.Published By: on January 14, 2009.

Monlam Chenmo (The Great Prayer Festival)
[Wednesday, February 20, 2008 20:07]
Compiled by Tenzin Chodon
Monlam Chenmo
, also known as The Great Prayer Festival falls on the 4th - 11th day of the 1st Tibetan Lunar month. This is the greatest religious festival in Tibet and was established in 1409 by the great Tibetan philosopher, saint, monastic teacher, and social reformer, Tsong Khapa Losang Drakpa(1357-1419), the founder of the
tradition of the Tibetan Buddhism. The first prayer was held in Jokhang, the central cathedral in Lhasa. He invited all the people of Tibet to a two-week-long festival of prayer, auspicious ritual, teachings, and celebrations, from the first new moon until the full moon of the Lunar New Year. Many hundreds of thousands, perhaps more than a million came from near and far.
This photo taken on February 22nd 1921 in Tibet shows the "Offerings of the 15th" (the 15th night of the Great Prayer Festival), large
in Lhasa (Barkhor, Jokhang). (Photo courtesy: The Pitt Rivers Museum)
It is said that during that first Great Prayer Festival in 1409, all the people gathered in Lhasa themselves beheld similar visions solidly present in space, with heavenly hosts of Buddhas and divine beings filling the sky. For the whole two weeks, the routine business of the city was suspended. Everyone got into their most religious mood and spent the whole time as if on a spiritual retreat, praying, studying, making offerings, teaching and learning, debating meaningful philosophical topics, and celebrating in ways both solemn and merry.
The Great Prayer Festival commemorates the Buddha's spiritual victory over the forces of ignorance, anger, and greed, and his attainment of enlightenment. The prayer is for the good of all beings, human beings, and the whole animal kingdom throughout the world. The belief is that the Buddhism of Shakyamuni Buddha has passed its peak, and is gradually declining. But the Great Prayer Festival will shorten this period of decline and prevent the latter end of it, when human beings would otherwise live to be only ten years old.
Traditionally, during this festival in Tibet, thousands of monks from the three monastic universities of Drepung, Sera and Gadhen, assembled before the statue of Shakyamuni reciting scriptures to pray for the long life of spiritual masters of all traditions, for the discovery and flourishment of Dharma in the minds of all sentient beings, and above all, for world peace. The Prayer Festival became more and more ceremonious as time passed by. Examinations for the highest '
Lharampa Geshe
' degree (a highest degree in Buddhist philosophy in the
tradition) were held during the week-long festival. Monks would perform traditional Tibetan Buddhist dances (
) and huge ritual offering cakes (
) were made, that were adorned with very elaborate butter sculptures.
On the fifteenth day or the full moon day of the first Lunar month, the highlight of Monlam Chenmo in Lhasa would be the "Butter Lamp Festival" (
Choenga Chopa
), during which the Dalai Lama would come to the Jokhang Temple and perform the great Buddhist service. Barkhor Square in front of the Jokhang would be turned into a grand exhibition site for the huge
. At the end of the festival, these
would be burned in a large bon-fire. Pilgrims would come from every corner of Tibet and donations are offered to the monks.
This festival was banned by Communist China during the Cultural Revolution and although it was revived once in 1985, it was once again prohibited in 1990. The full enactment of this tradition, which includes mass participation by the citizens of Lhasa and other parts of Tibet, has been severely disrupted since the Chinese occupation, mainly because the festival encourages Tibetan identity too strongly.
On February 7, Tibetans around the world celebrated
(New Year), the Earth Mouse Year 2135.
Similar events, which used to be part of the prayer festival held in Lhasa are now carried out in the northern Indian town of Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama led Tibetan Government in Exile is now located.
This year, in Dharamsala, the Monlam Chenmo began on the 17th of February and will conclude on the February 21. Monks from the three great monasteries (Sera, Gaden, Drepung) and also monks and nuns from the nearby monasteries and nunneries are taking part in this prayer gathering.
The Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama will preside over the final prayer ceremony and will also give a teaching from the Jataka Tales at the Main Tibetan Temple (
Tsug lag Khang
). Large butter sculptures will be displayed amidst butter lamps offered and lit by the pilgrims and residents of Dharamsala.

- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lemon-juiced

- 1/2 cucumber-peeled and grated
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
Drain tofu and put in blender with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and dill.
Blend until creamy. Stir in cucumber. Season to taste.

What? Why can't I kill someone with my bare hands? Can't I punch someone to death if I have the patience to do so?The BrikWars Rulebook wrote:Minifigs lack the ability to clench their clawlike hands into fists, and the limited range of minifig leg motion means that the groins of their enemies will never be exposed to their nonexistent knees. As a result, unarmed combat between minifigs is an almost complete waste of time. The only worthwhile use for Bare Hands is in grabbing someone else's dropped weapon.
Bare Hands cannot be used to Attack or Parry. They may only be used to Shove, and only if both hands are empty, in a desperate attempt to get away from the real warriors who remembered to come armed.
(I have a way of doing this, but let us hear Rayhawk's explanation first).

Mexico moves to open up telecom industry long dominated by monopolies
Leaders of Mexico's three major political parties launched a sweeping proposal Monday to break open the highly monopolistic telecommunications sector, calling for new laws that would create competition to the established companies that now control the nation's broadcast and cable television, Internet access, and fixed line and cellular telephones.
The proposal would open the door to two new national television networks and set rules that would lower costs and broaden access to the Internet and telephones. It also would allow dramatically increased foreign investment in telecommunications.
In a ceremony filled with pomp, chiefs of political parties from the left, center and right cast the telecom reform as a watershed event that would shake off monopolistic private control that is almost without parallel elsewhere in the Western world.
President Enrique Pena Nieto, who just completed 100 days in office, said opening up the telecom sector to competition would invigorate the economy and lift Mexico globally.
"In the era of knowledge and information, it is a new form of illiteracy not to have access to them," he said of modern digital platforms.
Neither Pena Nieto nor any of the political party leaders portrayed the proposed constitutional reform as targeted at the wealthy tycoons who keep a monopolistic grip on telecommunications. Yet the proposals are likely to vastly affect the interests of several of Mexico's most powerful figures.
They include Carlos Slim, the world's wealthiest man with a $71.5 billion fortune, whose wireless company, America Movil, controls roughly 70 percent of the cellular market in Mexico and whose fixed line company, Telefonos de Mexico, better known as TelMex, controls 80 percent of all fixed-line phones in the country.
High rates keep Mexicans from using cellular phones as much as residents of other Latin American countries.
Beside him in the billionaire's pantheon is Emilio Azcarraga, controlling shareholder in Televisa, the world's largest Spanish-language broadcaster and magazine publisher. Grupo Televisa controls 70 percent of the Mexican television market.
Following the ceremony, a tweet from Azcarraga's Twitter account acknowledged the threshold of a new era: "Time of great challenges and also of opportunities. Competition welcome," the tweet said.
Slim did not offer an immediate comment on the reform.
A third tycoon, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, and his Grupo Salinas, are controlling shareholders of TV Azteca, which commands most of the remaining 30 percent of the television market in Mexico not controlled by Televisa.
Before the constitutional amendments involved in the telecom reform become law, they must pass through both chambers of Mexico's Congress and be approved by a majority of state legislatures.
If successful, it would mark the second major reform of Pena Nieto's nascent administration. Within days of taking office Dec. 1, Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, formed an unprecedented political alliance with two other major parties, called Pact for Mexico, and announced broad objectives for reforming the state.
The parties quickly enacted an education reform that took away from a 1.5 million-member teachers union the power to hire and fire teachers. Further signaling an intent to shake up the field, prosecutors arrested powerful teachers union leader Elba Esther Gordillo on Feb. 26 and charged her with siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars in union funds.
"The Pact for Mexico is not only alive, it is vigorous," PRI national party chief Cesar Camacho Quiroz said at the ceremony, denying reports it may be faltering.
In some ways, the latest move marked the PRI's continuing effort to raze some of the structures that it had erected to rule Mexico during its 71-year unbroken reign that ended in 2000. Past PRI governments looked at Televisa as a political tool to help it retain power, and TelMex and cellular service concessions were sold to businessmen the PRI saw as friendly.
In announcing the urgency of the telecom reform, Communications and Transport Secretary Gerardo Ruiz Esparza cited a study conducted in 2012 by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that said Mexico economic growth was 1.8 percent lower because of the estimated $129 billion in overcharges and lost economic opportunities wrought between 2005 and 2009 by telecommunications companies.
Among the measures included in the reform, Mexico would:
_ Allow foreign companies to increase from 49 percent to 100 percent their stake in most telecommunications operations in the country.
_ Give foreign companies the right to own as much as 49 percent of firms transmitting on radio waves in the nation; they currently are prohibited from owning any portion of such a company.
_ Require satellite and cable TV companies to retransmit broadcast television signals, unlike now when they can try to strangle competitors by keeping them off the air.
_ Set up a new regulatory body, the Federal Telecommunications Institute, which would have authority to break up telephone and TV companies with more than 50 percent of the domestic market. The new body also would be allowed to revoke broadcast licenses at will and write new regulations that would favor smaller companies over larger ones.
"With clear and open rules, with authorities who limit concentration, with very established obligations in quality, cost and continuity of service, the telecommunications area will better fulfill its role of invigorating the economy," Ruiz Esparza said.
Jesus Zambrano, president of the left-wing Party of the Democratic Revolution, said the proposed new watchdog agency would have authority to ensure fair and unbiased use of the air waves, thus potentially keeping media giants from meddling in politics.
"No longer will we have on television, on the radio and on the Internet deceitful, lying, crooked publicity. There won't be electoral propaganda disguised as information," Zambrano said.
Other political leaders said that enshrining the new reforms in the country's constitution would prevent companies from endless lawsuits to gain an upper hand.
"It is worth remembering that the Constitution brooks no lawsuit, trial or appeal. When the Constitution speaks, so speak the sovereign Mexican people," said Luis Alberto Villarreal, chief of the center-right National Action Party bloc in the Senate.

Will they stay or will they go?
Jay Rockefeller won't talk about it. Neither will fellow Democrats Tom Harkin, Carl Levin, Tim Johnson and Frank Lautenberg.
None of these senior senators will give a definitive answer about whether they're running for reelection in 2014.
Story Continued Below
"I'm very definitely going to make a statement about that — but not yet," the 75-year-old Rockefeller, who saw a formidable Republican opponent enter his race Monday, told POLITICO. "Not until we get some other things set."
( Also on POLITICO: GOP split resurfaces with Capito)
The retirement watch is in full swing on Capitol Hill as veteran senators weigh whether to endure another reelection grind, the endless demands for fundraising and the barrage of personal attacks — all to serve another six years in a body known for its constant gridlock. On the Democratic side, the concern over retirements is more acute — the senators most likely to leave come from red states like West Virginia and South Dakota or swing states like Iowa. On the Republican side, perhaps the most likely retirement centers on Thad Cochran, who presumably would be replaced by another GOP senator in deep-red Mississippi.
And just like in 2012, Democrats face an unfavorable electoral map, having to defend 20 seats to 13 for the GOP in a midterm election historically difficult for the party that controls the White House.
"Iowa is always a competitive state," Harkin said of the state he's represented since 1985. "It's about right down the middle 50-50."
( Also on POLITICO: Levn defends Rice on Libya)
Asked about 2014, the 73-year-old Harkin noted he had hired an Internet fundraiser, but punted on his plans: "I've got a lot of other things on my mind right now; there will be time for that later."
But not a whole lot of time.
Just like in 2012, Democratic leaders want the retirement decisions to come early — probably by the middle of next year — giving them plenty of time to recruit a new candidate, just as they did this past election cycle when seven Democrats retired.
The only Democratic-held seat the party lost in 2012 — in Nebraska — came after Sen. Ben Nelson announced in late December 2011 that he'd forgo a bid for a third term. Similarly, in the 2010 election cycle, late retirement announcements by Sens. Evan Bayh of Indiana and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota preceded the party's losses in those two states.
The same goes for the GOP. It was the late retirement of Maine's Olympia Snowe, who shocked her party's leaders in February, that led to the loss of the party's Senate seat. And even though just three Republican senators announced their plans to quit at year's end, the party ended up dropping two seats in the chamber, now relegated to seeing Democrats hold a 55-45 majority for the next two years.
Besides Cochran, most of the 13 Republican senators up for reelection are more firmly in the "yes" column to run again — for now.
"I'm running hard," said Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi, dismissing speculation he'd quit.
"He is running," a spokeswoman to Sen. Pat Roberts said of the Kansas Republican.
Cochran, the powerful Mississippi appropriator who has served in the body since 1978, said it's "too early to decide."
"I'm not weighing anything," Cochran said when asked about the factors he's considering. "I'm serving to the best of my ability."

I finished priming Oceans room, we picked two colours. Watermelon splash (for 1 wall), and whipped cream for the other 3. I have so many ideas for her room. We have moved around a lot with her, never being able to put down any roots. She is a super kid I figure she deserves her room finished first. After all she will be in her room a lot more then me in mine.
I like to dream about things I want to do with our home, mainly the kitchen. Since that is my space, and I have come to realize through home decor books that it is the "heart of the home". I like the way that sounds.
On to the cupcakes, getting mail is fun especially when its a present or in this case ORGANIC RAW CACAO CHOCOLATES, from UliMana. Yum Yum. I wanted to showcase these yummy treats so I used them as the topping to my chocolate cupcakes. OH YEAH!! These are amazing. I wanted to eat them as soon as I opened the package, but I contained my impulsiveness. Decided to wait for something special to do with them.
I used my GOTO chocolate cake recipe, its good, moist and has never failed me. This time I added a shot of espresso. Just to kick it up a notch. The frosting I usually eye it out and taste along the way, but here is the jist of it, feel free to change it up ( too sugary, not enough cocoa powder, etc...)
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup organic icing sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp earth balance margarine
3-4 tbsp vanilla almond milk
With a mixer, blend until fluffy
What is more special then a cupcake topped with a truffle?

Live episode - Thursday, October 14, at 8:30 p.m. ET
The cast of "30 Rock" will perform a special live episode from famed studio 8H on Thursday, October 14 (8:30-9 p.m. ET). In the series' first live episode, two versions will be telecast -- one live for the East Coast and one for the West Coast. The first show will be telecast at 8:30-9 p.m. (ET) for the East and the cast will perform the same episode for a new broadcast at 11:30 p.m.- 12 a.m. (ET) for the West.

text: 29 JUL Steven Anderson is against Gospel Tracts Anderson has long been against Gospel Tracts. Because the New IFB teaches a soulwinning method that provides lots of false conversions, they balk at methods that give the gospel but don't force out a fake salvation with it. So they reject Gospel Tracts. Below is audio of Anderson's 2007 sermon called "Why I hate gospel tracts" Below is a more recent video of the same kind of preaching: Post Author: Joshua Lindsey My name is Joshua Lindsey. I live in Minnesota, and with my wife and children am a faithful member of my local independent Baptist Church. I have taught Sunday School classes and children's classes, and also had the opportunity to preach at several churches. I teach Bible college classes on the Pentateuch, Atheism and Faith, Chrsitian Denominations, Bible Preservation (A defense of the underlying texts of the KJV), Bible Geography and Customs, Church Graphic Design, and some others. My father is an Independent Baptist Pastor in Wisconsin, and I grew up in a home full of love for the Lord. My parents raised me in the Bible, and are faithful to this day in witnessing and discipling. Although I was constantly immersed in biblical teaching and preaching, I did not personally believe in Jesus as described in John 3:16 until my freshman year in Bible college. In the many years since then, I have grown in grace and the Lord has given me opportunity to serve him in ministry. Among other ministries, I run my church's print shop and participate in door-to-door evangelism. In doctrine, I affirm the truth that has been passed down from church to church since the time of Christ. I affirm the deity of Christ, his death, burial, and bodily resurrection, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, the virgin birth, the inerrancy and infallibility of the scriptures, the inspiration and preservation of the scriptures, the imminent return of Christ and his future literal millennial reign. I accept the canonicity of the 66 books of scripture, I believe that God commands all men to repent, that Christ draws all men to himself, that any person can believe and be saved. I believe salvation cannot be forfeited or taken away. I believe Christ's command to go to all the world and preach the Gospel is still applicable to us today. I believe in a future literal judgment seat of Christ and a Great white throne judgment. I believe that no person will enter heaven except through Jesus Christ. I reject all false religions: Islam, Judaism, new Age, etc. I reject the teaching that God elects some men to damnation, giving them no chance to be saved. I reject the idea that God did not preserve his words and that recent manuscript discoveries provide us with a more accurate Bible that was not available to past generations of Christians. I reject the concept of a universal church. I reject the idea that Baptism plays a part in salvation. I believe many things additionally not listed here. My views align with the scripture and with the beliefs that faithful churches have held since the time of Christ, and have held under the title of "Baptist" for many centuries now.

Sam Smith Covers Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know' and Makes It His Own [VIDEO]by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
If you've heard Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me' on the radio recently, you already know he has one gorgeous voice. His incredible cover of Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know' just confirms it.
It's hard to cover a song originally performed by a powerhouse singer like Whitney. How could a cover possibly live up to the original? If anyone can handle it, it's Sam. Not only did the British singer nail the vocals, he also took Whitney's classic and made it his own. He slowed down her upbeat '80s dance hit and turned it into a slow and heartfelt song of longing.
It's completely different from the original, but that's part of what makes it so great. It suits Sam's soulful voice, and the yearning he puts into every word would make it fit perfectly on his debut album 'In the Lonely Hour,' which is full of downhearted tracks about unrequited love.
Sam, you've gone beyond impressing us, once again.
Check out Sam Smith's amazing cover of 'How Will I Know' up above!

How to Prepare to Paint Yarn
Hand-painting is the process of applying dye directly to fiber and then steaming the fiber to set the dye. The term hand-paint encompasses a range of techniques that create a variety of results. In some methods, you paint the dye onto yarn or roving using brushes. In other techniques, you do the "painting" with squeeze bottles or dip the fibers directly into containers of dye.
Set up for yarn painting
Each hand-paint technique uses different tools for applying color to fiber. Most methods require heat to set the dye. This is easily done by wrapping dyed fiber or yarn in plastic, rolling the packets into loose coils and placing them in an enamel canning pot converted to a steam chamber. To set up a steam chamber, place the wire canning rack in the bottom of the pot and cover it with an inverted Pyrex pie plate. Add water to just below the level of the pie plate. Place the coils of fiber on the pie plate and cover the pot with a lid.
Protect your work surface by spreading a plastic covering on your painting table. Keep plenty of sponges and paper towels handy.
Unless otherwise instructed, prepare your dyes the day before your dye session so they will be room temperature when used. Hot dye solutions strike quickly. To make the presoak sufficient for 1 pound (454g) of fiber, add 12 tablespoons citric acid crystals and 4 teaspoons (10ml) Synthrapol to 2 gallons of warm 95°F (35°C) water. Stir to combine.
An acid presoak can be reused and stored indefinitely if you keep a lid on the bucket. If you ever need to add water, you may also need to add more citric acid crystals to maintain the proper acidity level. Check the acidity of a stored presoak solution using pH test papers. Tear a strip of paper from the roll and swish it in the solution. Then match the color with the guide. The pH of the acid soak should be in the range of 3–4.
Safety when you're painting yarn
Wear an apron to protect clothing, gloves and safety glasses to protect your skin and eyes, and a mask when handling dye powder and steaming fiber. Good lighting and good ventilation are important. However, when you are mixing dye powders, be sure to keep fans off and windows closed until the powders are safely dissolved in the solution. Always take care when working with hot pots.
Safety Checklist
Dust filter mask (when mixing dye powder)
Dual cartridge respirator (when steaming)
Rubber gloves
Safety glasses
Vent fan while steaming fibers
Oven mitts
Good ventilation

Sony Pictures Entertainment has optioned English-language remake rights to A Prophet for Neal H Moritz and Toby Jaffe to produce through Original Film.
Jacques Audiard's original crime drama about a prisoner who becomes a crime lord was the talk of Cannes when it premiered in competition in 2009 and went on to win nine César Awards and earned a foreign language Oscar nomination.
Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad and production president Hannah Minghella made the announcement on Wednesday [5].
"This is an epic crime saga with compelling characters and original storytelling," said Original Film founder Moritz. "I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to make an English-language version of the film and I am grateful to have the trust of Jacques Audiard and his producers, as well as the writers Thomas Bidegain, Nicolas Peufaillit, and Abdel Raouf Dafri."
"We think A Prophet will translate perfectly for English-speaking audiences," said Minghella. "Obviously, we love working with Neal and he has a great track record with this kind of film – we're confident that our film will excite audiences in the same way that the original material did."
Moritz most recently produced the global smash Fast & Furious 6 and is in post-production on R.I.P.D.

Pervis Ellison saw Trayvon Reed play last summer, when the Philadelphia-based AAU team the former Louisville star was coaching lost to the Atlanta-based AAU team on which the 7-1 rising high school senior was playing.
Ellison, who as a freshman led the Cardinals to the 1986 national championship and was later the No. 1 overall pick in the 1989 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings, will now coach Reed at the Life Center Academy in Burlington, N.J.
"The kid is a legit 7-1, and with that size and stature he's going to have an effect on the game," Ellison said Tuesday. "He's a game-changer from the defensive standpoint, with long arms of a [Dikembe] Mutombo. His offensive game is further along than Mutombo's."
Ellison, whose Maryland-bound daughter Aja plays on the girl's team at the Christian-affiliated South Jersey school, said he first heard from Reed's family last week after an Indiana private school couldn't accommodate Reed.
Even the former player once dubbed "Never Nervous Pervis" might have become a little excited about that possibility.
"Obviously, he's a very talented young man and when you get a chance to coach someone of that stature, you always want that opportunity," Ellison said.
Ellison said that Life Center Academy was also chosen because its location and religious affiliation were attractive to Reed's parents, as was Ellison's own background as a skinny kid who made it to the NBA as a center.
Daniel Moore, Reed's stepfather, said Tuesday that the Indiana school Reed was supposed to attend this year "ran out of beds." Moore said he wanted his son to be in a setting that stressed academics in order for Reed to be eligible in College Park as a freshman in 2014-15.
Ellison said one of the first things Moore, who said he is a Christian, asked about was the religious component of the school program. Ellison said that students are required to attend a church activity twice a week.
Moore "asked what the kids were going to be doing [in terms of religious activities] before he asked about anything," Ellison said.
Ellison led Louisville to a national championship as a 6-9, 205-pound freshman. He was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player after leading the Cardinals to a title game victory over Duke, which had defeated a Kansas team with a point guard named Mark Turgeon in the semifinals.
Latest Terps
"He's got a tremendous upside," Ellison said of Reed, a four-star recruit rated as high as the No. 6 center in the country. "He's also a good kid, he's a 'Yes sir, no sir' kind of kid. ... I think I can be able to teach him a few things."

What are Occasional Papers?
Background: In January 2002 the Publications Committee drafted a discussion paper entitled: Should Electronic Publishing be in GODORT's future [1] Included in this paper are both pros and cons regarding whether to undertake such an initiative as well as questions to ask and ideas of how to proceed. This idea was re-visited by the Publications Committee during the 2006 annual meeting and the proposal was brought to Steering by Barb Mann in 2008 (see Publications Committee Minutes Annual, 2008).
Oversight: This series is under the auspices of the Publication Committee. The Editorial Board consists of the Publications Committee Chair, Chair-Elect and two at-large members. The initial terms for the two at-large members will stagger with one serving two years and one serving one year. After the initial appointment, each member will serve a 2-year term. For the future it is hoped that one of the additional members will be someone who wants to gain editorial skills and his/her membership will provide an "apprentice" opportunity.
Guidelines: Materials to be considered for inclusion in this series must pertain to some aspect of government information (e.g., local, state, federal, international) and will serve as a place for GODORT members to publish lengthy articles as well as other materials such as bibliographies, short articles, reports, preliminary research, etc.

Terrell Suggs tells Patriots to 'enjoy the Pro Bowl'
With a win in the AFC Championship, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and his teammates can now move their focus to facing the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. But that didn't stop the five-time Pro Bowl player, who didn't make the team this year, from pointing out after the game that the five Ravens who did won't be there.
SUPER RUN:Baltimore Ravens heading to New Orleans
Via Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel'sTwitter feed:
Suggs: "Tell them to have fun at the Pro Bowl. Arrogant (expletive)"
"These are the most arrogant pricks in the world starting with Belichick on down."
"That's funny, ever since SpyGate they haven't been able to win."
"All BS aside they are a hell of a ball club ... They have the right to be arrogant."
Suggs' teammates told USA TODAY Sports earlier this week that the linebacker harbored a widely known disdain for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
"I think it's because he doesn't get to him that much," Ravens defensive tackle Terrence Cody said to reporter Robert Klemko. "Brady's his nemesis because Brady always gets the ball out on time. You really never get a solid hit on him, and then every time you do get a hit on him, Brady's always whining about a flag."
The Ravens managed to get seven hits on Brady during the game (Suggs had one) as the Baltimore defense held Brady to a 62.3 QB rating for the game.
