Pasquale Jones
I have been reading about one of the hottest restaurants in NYC, Pasquale Jones since the spring. Gwyneth listed it as one of her must try new restaurants and Jessica Seinfeld is posting non stop about the delicious food. Pasquale Jones, a squeal to the excellent Charlie Bird NYC, is a no tipping, no telephone restaurant that only accepts a very few reservations via its website and walk ins. It is located in the heart of Little Italy on Mulberry St. If you are not lucky enough to secure an online reservation there might be quite a wait. However, the food is incredible. The menu is compact but everything is outstanding from the impressive wine list to the thin crust pizzas to the savory entrees. I have to agree with all the celebs and magazine editors, Pasquale Jones is a huge hit!!!!! For more information, click HERE.

He killed over 15 millions African.
He exploited the Congo Free State as his family's private venture.
He enslaved the entire population of Congo.
He executed, mutilated and suppressed the anti forces brutally.
Ever heard of him? Why do you think you don't know these points when you know everything from German history – The Weimar Republic, Gleichschaltung, The Enabling Law, Gestapos, Holocaust, etc.
Well let's leave the reason for the last part of article while we consider the atrocities committed by King Leopold first.
King Leopold reigned as the second King of the Belgian from 1865 to 1909. He came to known for the founding and exploitation of the Congo Free State as his private venture. He owned the Congo as the constitutional monarch of Belgium. After several failed colonial attempts in Asia and Africa, he settled on the Congo. He almost bought this entire piece of African region and enslaved its people, turning the entire country into his family's own personal slave transporter. He camouflaged his business transactions as "altruistic" and "loigical" efforts under the name of the International African Society. He used their bonded labor to exploit Congolese resources and services. His reign was enforced through work camps, body crippling, torment, misery, executions, by his own private army.
Under his regime, millions of the Congolese people were directly murdered; estimates range for about 15 millions, with a mostly accepted estimate of around 10 millions. Besides, in his reign people died of diseases and he never gave a damn. Smallpox epidemics and sleeping sickness scourged the ever disrupting population. African trypanosmiasis killed about 5,000 innocent Africans in the village of Lukolela situated at the bank of Congo River.
Belgian control of their African possessions, the Belgian Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, ended in choas,violence and civil war. The Belgian thought that the best ways to preserve their control were as follows :
1) Denying the Africans advanced education. This would prevent them from coming into contact with nationalist ideas and deprive them of an educated professional class who could lead them to Independence.
2) Using tribal rivalries to their advantage by playing off different tribes against each other.
The Belgians seemed taken by surprise when widespread rioting broke out against unemployment and declining living standards. They suddenly changed their policy, announced that the Congo could become independent in six months. Now the Congo became independent in June 1960, with completely inadequate preparations. There was no experienced group of Africans to which power could be handed over. The Congolese had not been educated for professional jobs, very few had recieved any higher education and no political parties had been allowed. This brought a very treacherous civil war that is running still today. This war has already claimed additional a million death.
Now the thinking! Was Hitler the cruelest leader of all time?
Total shame! When someone kill ten million 'Africans', he isn't called 'Hitler'. That is, his name doesn't reflect to symbolize the living 'epitome of noxious'. His name and his picture doesn't prompt horror, loath, misery, anguish and sorrow. His victims aren't talked about and their name isn't remembered just because he killed some less important and productive creatures on earth. Because, Your people are less human than my people.
Most of us aren't taught about him in school. We don't hear about him in the communist media. He's not part of some of the widely-reiterated narratives of doldrums (which includes things like the Holocaust). He's been an epitome of a long history of atrocities, colonialism, privatization, imperialism, slavery, and genocide in Africa that would probably never be possible. Another reason for him being unpopular is that he doesn't fit neatly into our school curriculums through the-mind of a capitalist, liberal, Pseudo-intellectual well-beings.
Most of liberals criticize Hitler but tends to forget the facts about Hitler's tendency towards the education and rocket science. He mastered all. Till the late 1930s, Germans were too ahead of their contemporary competitors in the field of Space and defence. All thanks to Hitler. Another conspiracy theory tells about his time machine called 'Die Glocke'. On the other hand they've another version of him who don't give a damn to his people, culture, thoughts, and their education. But still the liberals beat the shit out of former.
Lesson learnt. It is better to trust a half-knowing imp than to trust a Liberal over a neutral point of view.

"Watching Florida" posted a comment in response to my prior entry about the death of Dr. Ronald Cranford that I feel deserves comment, so I am moving it into the body of this blog to assure that readers don't overlook our exchange.
"Watching Florida" said:
Without a doubt you are a better person than I am, aren't you. Do you feel better now? I am sure you are referring to my post which I expressed JOY that Cranford was removed from this earth. Cranford was a criminal and should have been tried accordingly and jailed. As a rule, I am not civil to criminals that co conspire to murder. I was flabbergasted at his motive in Terri's case. Cranford was a brutal man and he was paid a lot of money to say Terri Schiavo did not have person hood which caused her barbaric death. He was paid by the same money that was to be used to rehabilitate her. Knock off the pleasantries about Cranford, you of all people should know better. I knew the State of California sent him and his black bag packing in the Wendland case but I didn't know who made that happen. It was you and I thank you. Terri Schiavo could have used your expertise, perhaps you could have challenged Cranford when he said Terri was PVS without hope yet he was on tape telling Terri, "Good Girl, you ARE following me". Cranford deserves nothing but contempt.
First of all, your post was only one of many I read expressing joy and relief that Dr. Cranford has died.
Go back to one of my first entries in this blog, dated March 29, 2005. Read about Dr. Cranford there and you will see that I had no love for the man or his deeds.
And yes, I could be plenty angry and bitter, as could one of my clients, Rebekah Vinson. Many people forget that I actually represented two folks in the quest to spare Robert Wendland from death: His mother, Florence, and his sister, Rebekah. Both were named parties in the lawsuit, but Florence became more well known because the media loved to fashion the story as mother vs. wife (Rose).
Florence was allowed to visit Robert at Lodi Memorial Hospital regularly, but visits with his other family members, none of whom, with the exception of his half-brother, Michael Hofer, sided with Rose, were cut off. Indeed, on the day Robert died, his mother, not his wife and children, was at his side. But it was Rebekah and other family members who were left standing in the parking lot of the hospital, distraught and despondent, as Robert lay dying inside, because Rose would not allow them to visit Robert and say their good-byes. Rose acted upon the advice and counsel of, among others, Ronald Cranford and her appellate attorney, Lawrence Nelson.
So believe me, I did not miss the irony when I read in Dr. Death's obituary that he died with his daughters at his side, holding his hands. He was among those who were instrumental in denying such comfort and peace to Robert and his family.
But it is not my place to pass judgment on him and I will not be goaded into doing it by anyone.
I am, however, completely baffled by "Watching Florida's" reference to the State of California sending Cranford "and his black bag packing." That sentence reads almost as if the State pulled Cranford's license to practice in California or something akin to that. If so, I am unaware of that occurrence. If, however, "Watching Florida" is referring to the fact that the California Supreme Court handed Cranford, et al. a huge loss about which they have all been whining ever since, that is a true statement.
I have never publicly divulged just how I secured victory for my clients in the trial court. I have no doubt in my mind, however, that Ronald Cranford, M.D. was single-handedly responsible for losing the San Joaquin County trial. And I was the one who held out the carrot that he just couldn't resist grabbing from my hand.
I refer to it as "The Flowered Jumper Tactic."
Ronald Cranford was nothing if not arrogant. His daughter was quoted describing his wit and down to earth nature. In reality, he knew how to turn on the Marcus Welby-esque persona in order to manipulate and maneuver people into believing him. He would look at you very kindly over his half-glasses while shaking your hand and patting your shoulder. But it was an act. He had an agenda and his intentions were purely evil.
He pontificated on the witness stand in Stockton for two full days. Called to testify by Rose's attorney, who was presenting his case in tandem with the attorney who was appointed to safeguard Robert's interests, but ended up advocating for his death, as well, Cranford was allowed to ramble on and on and on.
Finally, my opportunity to cross-examine him came. Just as I was about to begin my questioning, he smiled at me over those half-glasses and actually had the gall to wink at me as he said, "Ok, come on, let me have it."
He might as well have waved a red flag in front of a bull. Talk about the ultimate act of belittlement, chauvinism, and arrogance. People in the courtroom sat in stunned silence.
My husband, knowing full well what reaction Cranford wrought with that maneuver, just put his head in his hands and shook it from side to side, as if to say, "Oh, you poor bastard . . . you have no idea what you just did."
I scored some early points in my cross-examination, but then things began to look a bit more dreary as he became used to my rhythm and approach. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how I was going to get him to say the things that I needed him to say in order to win the case. Because I knew that if I could just get him to really open up, his arrogance would take over and he wouldn't be able to stop himself . . . he would talk the other side right out of their case, thereby playing right into my hands.
But how to get him to do it?
The next morning, as I stood in my closet wondering what to wear to court and fuming as I thought about that mysogynistic wink, it dawned on me that I had to change my entire demeanor. I was acting far too much like a lawyer. I had to dumb myself down and let his ego take over. In short, I had to, as my good friend Clint Ritchie likes to say when he really wants to get under my skin, "get girlie." I don't do "girlie."
But I knew that for one day, I had to make an exception.
So . . . I went into my closet and pulled out the most "girlie" ensemble I owned. It was a brightly flowered rayon jumper, with a white crepe blouse under it. The blouse had three quarter length sleeves and a collar with very wide lace. It was a very lovely outfit that I would normally never wear to court, a deposition, or in any other professional setting. I had purchased it a couple of years earlier to wear to a friend's wedding reception and I wore it only to such social events or, perhaps, church.
I can still see the looks on my stunned clients' faces when I came into the courtroom. They were in shock because they had never seen me wear such an outfit before. But they were too polite to inquire. So I just took them aside and said, "Hey, it might not work, but just go with me on this." Even the judge did a double-take when he took the bench and I heard the two other lawyers snickering about my lack of courtroom fashion sense.
I completely changed my questioning style and began firing open-ended questions at Cranford. Questions that I knew he would love to answer. I also knew that the other two attorneys would be delighted not to object. They mistakenly believed that if they didn't object, Cranford would continue educating the court and secure a victory for them.
They completely underestimated the size of Cranford's ego and the extent of his "God complex." But I didn't.
Go back to the March 29, 2005, entry and read the trial excerpts I posted. Cranford's testimony set forth there is what lost the case for Rose Wendland — all because he couldn't wait to educate the female attorney who couldn't even show up for court attired appropriately. I held out the carrot — and he took it. And I quoted Cranford verbatim in every appellate brief I filed, making sure that his words were not lost on the justices who were going to decide Robert's fate. Especially the one sentence that Cranford could not stop himself from uttering that belied his real agenda and motivation: "Robert needs to die so his family can grieve." I shoved that sentence back in his face over and over, every chance I got.
And after I knew that I had succeeded in my mission to get Cranford to expound to the point that he lost the case for Rose Wendland, I went home, took off the now-infamous flowered jumper, put it in the box destined for Good Will, and never looked at or wore it again.
I don't know where Dr. Death, as Cranford enjoyed calling himself, is tonight. Frankly, I don't really care. His ultimate destination is between him and his maker. I had no love for the man and am glad that he is no longer able to bring about the death of innocent disabled persons such as Terri Schiavo.
But I will not lower myself to Munchkin-like ("Ding dong, the witch is dead . . .") glee. Why? Not because I'm such a great person. I'm no saint. But I will not devalue his life or his inherent value as a human being. To do so would accomplish nothing except make me feel like a hypocrite in the first order. "Two wrongs don't make a right."

Financially crippled football club Rangers has launched an investigation into how £70 million ($US106 million) was spent over the past four years under British billionaire Mike Ashley and former owner Craig Whyte.
Only 24 hours after the announcement, Rangers said in a statement to Scottish TV channel STV Sport that it has also suspended Ashley's right hand men
Derek Llambias, Barry Leach and Sandy Easdale "pending investigation," while the football club looks where all the money has gone to.
Here is the full statement:
"Rangers Football Club announce today that Derek Llambias, Barry Leach and Sandy Easdale have been suspended from their duties pending an investigation.
"It is also noted that Mr Llambias and Mr Leach, along with Sandy Easdale, have been advised that a resolution to remove them as directors of the company has been received by the company.
"A meeting may be required for this purpose but it is hoped that this will not prove necessary.
"Acting chairman Paul Murray, fellow directors Douglas Park and John Gilligan, and the club's head of football administration Andrew Dickson have been appointed to the board of the company."
Ashley's representatives did not reply with a comment to Business Insider by the time of publication.
On March 6, at the Extraordinary General Meeting at Rangers' Ibrox Stadium, major shareholder David King, with a 14.5% stake, seized control of the football club by winning an 85% majority of votes.
He also managed to replace Ashley's right hand men, Llambias and Leach, with Paul Murray and John Gilligan. James Easdale (Sandy Easdale's brother) and Somners left a week before the EGM.
Only 24 hours ago, new director Douglas Park said the club would do a rigorous investigation to what happened at Rangers under the influence of "people who should have never been allowed near Rangers."
In 2011, Dave Murray sold his 85.3% stake in Rangers to Craig Whyte for just £1.
When Rangers filed for administration in February 2012, Britain's taxman, the HMRC, said there were £9 million in unpaid taxes. Since then, police charged Whyte with fraud for allegedly pretending to Murray that he had the cash to fund his stake in the club.
Meanwhile Ashley, who personally owns 4% of Rangers and an extra 5% he bought through his MASH holdings company, became the second-largest shareholder in the group. While he was stopped by the Scottish Football Association, which cited a "conflict of interest," for increasing his stake to 30% in December last year, his loans to the club gave him greater control over Rangers.
Out of £10 million he loaned the club in January this year, £5 million was used to pay himself back from an earlier £3 million loan. He also installed trusted business partners Llambias, Leach, the Easdale brothers and Derek Somners to the board.
He controlled merchandising and, according to Park, allegedly received "advantageous deals." He also managed to buy the naming rights to Rangers' Ibrox stadium for only £1.
Scottish MPs hoped to question Ashley over this, and a variety of other employment issues related to his £4 billion Sports Direct empire, before parliament dissolves in time for the May general election.
However, Ashley told politicians he was too busy to attend a Westminster hearing.
While Rangers will report its 2014 financial results later this year, its latest full year figures showed it owed its parent company Rangers International Football Club Plc (RIFC) £16.16 million.

How do I save or copy the set of tabs in a window, so I can put into another profile.
I have 3 profiles, depending on what I'm using Firefox for. Somehow I inadvertently closed a window with a bunch of tabs (even though I have closing warning on. I have an earlier version of this window in another proile. How do I save or copy the set of tabs in a window, so I can put into another profile? (Previously I could set the new window option to be a set of tabs from the current window, copy it, quit and switch profile, then paste it into the preferences and when I opened a new window all the tabs would appear. I inadvertently upgraded fromv 58 to v69 (after 7 hours trying different things, I wasn't able to stop FF from upgrading behind my back, when I would restore an older verison, but that's a different problem), and I can't see how to do what I was able to do before in v69.

Blue Moonshine, the fifth member of the legendary "Blue Family", was made available as a feminised strain as well by Dutch Passion in 2008. German master grower Rocky Resin put it to the test…
The Blue Family, a highly individual and charismatic cannabis gene pool, was created from different landraces and refined by Canadian breeder DJ Short in the 80s and 90s. Blueberry and Flo are the most well-known Blue Family members, the other siblings are Blue Velvet and Blue Heaven. The Blue Family strains were introduced to the European market by Dutch Passion in 1998, under cooperation with DJ Short. The Blue Family's genetics are based on Oaxacan Gold (a legendary Mexican sativa strain), two Thai landraces (Highland Thai and Chocolate Thai) and an Afghani indica. From this gene pool of pure landraces, DJ Short bred the various Blue Family strains, giving every single strain a different genetic accentuation. Flo for example is genetically mostly influenced by Oaxacan Sativa, while Blue Moonshine has the highest share of Afghani indica (90% indica).
Blue Moonshine originated in the early 1990s. Despite its indica dominant pedigree, she isn't a strong yielder, only delivering a moderate yield - according to Dutch Passion. So it's not a commercial strain, but a quality strain, true cannasseur's delight. Blue Moonshine is pretty damn strong, super potent, thanks to its heavily trichome-coated buds. Dutch Passion praises it as a true "hash plant". Also characteristic for Blue Moonshine is the long lasting narcotic body high.
When there's talk of "hash plant", infamous resin expert Rocky Resin always pricks his ears, and Blue Moonshine fell on fertile ground in his product garden. After he had received a bag of feminised Blue Moonshine seeds (10 seeds), he didn't waste time and germinated six seeds, each in a separate one litre pot filled with seedling soil. Five seeds germinated very quickly, but one proved to be a latecomer, reaching the soil's surface three days later than the others. For the vegetative stage, Rocky Resin used a 400 watts Philips HPI-T lamp. After the six Blue Moonshine plants had established themselves well in the one litre pots, having become almost rootbound, they were transplanted to 6.5 litres pots filled with Plagron Standard Mix. The nutrient content of this medium enables the grower to do without any extra fertiliser in the vegetative stage, with the soil's nutrients being sufficient for the first three vegetative weeks in any case.
Rocky Resin let the six Blue Moonshine plants spend 24 days in the vegetative stage and, indeed, could do without any extra fertiliser, the plants thrived very well and fairly homogeneous, except for the latecomer that remained much smaller than his siblings. After Rocky had induced flowering, in the course of the following weeks the other five plants also developed slight differences in height and branching pattern. At least two different phenotypes became evident: On the one hand, an indica typical phenotype (four plants) – the buds of which strongly reminded of Original Blueberry – on the other hand, a phenotype with more sativa traits (two plants). It came as a surprise though that the Blue Moonshine indica phenotype proved to become much taller than the sativa phenotype, the difference in height compared to the sativa phenotype was 20-45 cm in the end. The sativa phenotype grew much denser and more compact than the indica phenotype that had much wider internodes and the buds of which were interrupted inbetween at the main stem, there wasn't a continuous top cola.
Thanks to the 600 watts Sylvana HPS lamp that Rocky Resin had installed at the begin of the flowering period, and the application of Hesi Flower Complex and Phosphor Plus fertiliser, the Blue Moonshine plants were strongly pushed. Especially the two sativa phenotype plants grew into impressive product marijuana exemplars, loaded with big compact resinous buds that had a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. However, they weren't as super resinous as the buds of the indica phenotype which produced less bud weight though. The aroma was more or less the same with all the six plants: Sweet, a little bit spicy, a little bit fruity, very pleasing. Also in terms of maturing time, all the Blue Moonshine plants gave a fairly homogeneous performance. The four indica phenotype plants were ripe after 60 days of flowering, the two sativa phenotype plants took only one week longer (Dutch Passion states 63 days flowering time for Blue Moonshine, so this was well within tolerance).
On the plants there were only slight hints of one of Blue Moonshine's trademark attributes, purple blue hues or even colour in the buds, only the indica phenotype plants exhibited a little bit of this. This was probably due to the fact that it was quite warm in the grow room (21-26°C during daytime, 16-21°C at night) – the colder it is, the stronger purple colours are expressed by the plants. Another very important result: All the six Blue Moonshine plants passed the femi-test with flying colours, none of them produced any male flower so that Dutch Passion's feminised seeds proved to be stable and reliable once again.
The appearance of a sativa phenotype in this Blue Moonshine grow was particularly interesting, as such a phenotype hasn't been described in respective strain literature so far. And it was same as surprising that the indica phenotype achieved tall end heights of 145-158 cm, having grown rather into sativa dimensions. On the other hand, and this really was a paradox, the sativa phenotype grew much lower and more compact. The biggest surprise, however, came when it was time for Rocky Resin to put the dry Blue Moonshine harvest on the scales: Altogether, the six plants yielded amazing 240 grams, 40 g per plant on the average, pretty much for plants grown from seed - and much more than Rocky had expected after Dutch Passion's moderate yield forecast. The high was precisely as described by Dutch Passion, however: Very strong, highly narcotic and long-lasting, Rocky Resin was definitely couch locked and impressed by Blue Moonshine's outstanding indica potency. The sativa phenotypes provided a little bit of sativa freshness only at the very beginning of smoking, then the indica power quickly totally took over also here.
On the whole, Rocky Resin considered Blue Moonshine a very charismatic and rewarding strain that even clearly exceeded his expectations.

Warren Buffett's advice for ordinary investors is simple: Invest your retirement portfolio in an S&P 500 index fund.
However, at least one financial advisor thinks the Oracle of Omaha is off base.
That strategy "doesn't work anymore. It's not actually making the most of your money. You can do a lot better than that," Jon Stein, CEO and founder of Betterment, a robo-advisor with more than $8 billion of assets under management, said in a recent CNBC "On The Money" interview.Read the Original Article

Can't Happen Here?
Source: IHT.com
I must agree with The Watchdog here, this is pretty much how I see a future North American Union going down. Modern "democratic" governments appear to make decisions and then shoehorn the alleged "will of the people" into the decisions they've already made, the EU being a perfect example....
LONDON: Europe does not need a constitution, Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain said Monday, but should opt for a less ambitious new treaty that would not require a referendum.And when it appears clear that a majority of "the people" disagree with the direction the government, in all its mighty goodness and wisdom has decided, what do they do?
After talks with the Dutch prime minister, Jan Peter Balkenende, Blair said the two countries' positions on how to break the logjam over the European constitution were very close.
"What the Dutch and the British are saying is that it is important we go back to the idea of a conventional treaty, where the idea is to make Europe work more effectively, because we now have 27 countries rather than 15," Blair said during a news conference with Balkenende, "rather than a treaty with the characteristics of a constitution."
In 2005, French and Dutch voters rejected a European constitution in referendums, halting reform of the European Union's decision-making procedures and institutions.
Blair suspended plans for a British referendum on the EU constitution after the French and Dutch votes. Given widespread Euro-skepticism in Britain, the government fears it could lose such a vote.With "democracy" like this who needs tyrants?
I have some more thoughts on this I will write up tomorrow, it's a little late right now and I need some sleep. But the basic gist is simply this: If there are things that you, as a citizen, are not allowed to vote on, can Britain or America for that matter still be considered a democracy?
Illegal immigration is a perfect illustration of what I'm talking about, but hardly the only one. Welfare is another, one of the primary reasons our government is desperate to keep the borders open is to maintain the current welfare system.
To wit...
Washington - President Bush's campaign to solve the problem of illegal immigration is meeting resistance on a new front, as critics fault the Senate reform bill for provisions that a conservative think tank says could allow 103 million immigrants to enter the United States legally in the next 20 years. *snip*There are many reasons why the government wants and allows illegal immigration, this is but one, some of the reasons are even comprehensible, but when the people speak the government isn't supposed to plug its ears and holler "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU -- LA LA LA!"
If immigration did take place at such a rate, said Snow, Congress could simply adjust the numeric limits in the law.
And White House aide Joel Kaplan noted that, even if Rector's analysis is accurate, there would be an upside to such a wave of immigration.
"These are people who will be paying taxes and contributing as workers in our society, and we'll also be mitigating some of the drains on Social Security and Medicare because they will be paying in as workers," Kaplan said.

Ronald G. Roberson, C.S.P., holds a doctorate from the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome. From 1988 to 1992, he was a staff member of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, serving as a liaison to the Orthodox churches. Father Roberson now lives in Washington, D.C., and is associate director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Most Orthodox view these churches as an obstacle in the way of reconciliation between the Catholic and Orthodox churches. They feel that their very existence constitutes a denial by Catholics of the ecclesial reality of the Orthodox Church, and that these unions grew from efforts to split local Orthodox communities. They tend to consider Eastern Catholics either as Orthodox whose presence in the Catholic Church is an abnormal situation brought about by coercive measures, or even as Roman Catholics pretending to be Orthodox for the purpose of proselytism.
One of the documents of the Second Vatican Council, Orientalium Ecclesiarum, dealt with the Eastern Catholic churches. It affirmed their equality with the Latin church and called upon Eastern Catholics to rediscover their authentic traditions. It also affirmed that Eastern Catholics have a special vocation to foster ecumenical relations with the Orthodox.
The ecclesial life of the Eastern Catholic churches is governed in accordance with the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, which was promulgated by Pope John Paul II on October 18, 1990, and had the force of law as of October 1, 1991. According to the new Eastern Code, the Eastern Catholic churches fall into four categories: (1) Patriarchal (the Chaldean, Armenian, Coptic, Syrian, Maronite, and Melkite churches), (2) Major Archepiscopal (Ukrainian, Syro-Malabar, Romanian and Syro-Malankara churches), (3) Metropolitan sui iuris (the Ethiopian, American Ruthenian, Hungarian, Eritrean and Slovak churches), and (4) other churches sui iuris (Bulgarian, Greek, Italo-Albanian, Russian, Belarusan, and Albanian churches, as well as the Ruthennian eparchy of Mukačevo and apostolic exarchate in Prague, and the three Greek Catholic jurisdictions in former Yugoslavia).
Each Eastern Catholic patriarchal church has the right to choose its own Patriarch. He is elected by the Synod of Bishops and is immediately proclaimed and enthroned. He subsequently requests ecclesiastical communion from the Pope. The synods of patriarchal churches also elect bishops for dioceses within the patriarchal territory from a list of candidates that have been approved by the Holy See. If the one elected has not been previously approved, he must obtain the consent of the Pope before ordination as bishop. A Major Archbishop is elected in the same manner as a Patriarch, but his election must be confirmed by the Roman Pontiff before he can be enthroned. Metropolitans are named by the Pope on the basis of a list of at least three candidates submitted by the church council of bishops.

Malcolm Slaney on Pitch Change Recognition
Pitch changes are important for prosody and some languages. Singers care about pitch, but most people speak and perceive speech without conscious understanding of the pitch. Yet this signal is important. For most languages it tells us a lot about the non-semantic information about the speech signal. And tone languages use pitch to indicate different words. It seems important to measure pitch.
The two studies I have been involved in have taken two different approaches to avoiding the pitch signal. Last year my colleagues and I at Microsoft Research looked at measuring pitch changes directly, without first measuring the pitch. This turns out to be a more robust signal than the basic pitch. More recently, friends at the LDC (Linguistic Data Consortium) have studied if we can classify the tone of an utterance using the MFCC representation, which is "known" to throw away the pitch information. They were successful.
How can you measure pitch changes and tone without measuring pitch? Come to CCRMA to find out more!

Toronto Institutes Green Roofs With City Hall Example
"The $2.2 million garden has been drawing thousands of visitors since it opened in May-more than 10,000 people on the first weekend alone," reports Tim Keough.
"The city has really been pushing the green side of construction and wanted to lead by example," says Bruce Bowes, Toronto's chief corporate officer. "A number of projects have been undertaken at city hall. One is the roof podium. Others include hooking up to a deep-lake water-cooling system and adding building-automation systems."
Two local firms, Plant Architect and Shore Tilbe Perkins + Will, planned the new rooftop oasis and are leading the larger transformation of the square below.
The Finnish architect Viljo Revell, who completed Toronto's modernist city hall in 1965, had always intended for the podium roof to be publicly accessible, but "it had been closed off for about fifteen years," says Mary Tremain, a partner at Plant.

This recipe has been passed down through 4 generations, Grandma Frieda, thanks for being one of the best mentors I ever had (and a great cook too). You will always be one of the original Sirens of Sherwood. Thanks for the love.

3 eggs, beaten
2 carrots, grated and lightly steamed
1 lg. zucchini, grated
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup olive oil

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over low heat for 2 minutes.
Drop 2- tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture into hot oil. Use spatula to flatten pancakes slightly.
Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Test for doneness.

A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.
~P. L. Travers
~P. L. Travers
I was thinking that I have not seen any advice on how to survive the other side of blogging. You see, some of my favorite bloggers have been posting less often of late, including myself. Some are observing Lent and some are just particularly busy in their real life and some may just not be in the mood to write. It is like an infectious illness putting the skids on my blog world and I may even be helping it along! My husband calls me a high maintenance woman, but I believe I am only high maintenance in my need for communication and if I feel cut off, I get...uh, moody, even needy.
It is no one's fault. I firmly believe happiness is a choice and I do not expect people to make me happy...but lately I have felt like my support group is...ungrouping. Yes, I know it is not a real word and to be honest these individuals are not in a real group, except in my little cyber world. I have come to realize that I handpicked a support group for my needs, but is it a small group and rather fragile. If just one is not posting for a few days, I feel unbalanced. If for more than a few, I feel the loss deeply of the people themselves, of course. However, I recognize there is this need that reading their blog fills in me also.
So, I have given this some thought and believe that I have a recipe for a good blogger's support group:
- Sharing faith. This is my top priority for the majority of blogs I read that they are written by Christians, but that is not to say that I would not be interested in a blog of a differing faith so I could learn about it in a personal way.
- Like interests or similar lifestyle. An obvious given! Everyone looks for people to whom she can relate.
- Enough differences in interests or lifestyle to be interesting but not irritating. Let's face it, there is enough peace-stealing conflict just in real life, so I do not need to add more purposely, however I do like hearing opinions that differ from my own and getting to know a person.
- A balance of blogs with deeper insights to challenge emotional and/or spiritual growth and those that are generally lighthearted and uplifting. Now this one is the most important to me personally. I need a balance in this because I am not the lighthearted and uplifting type—I know I am not shocking anyone with this confession—so I need that in my support group. On the other hand, I am more drawn to blogs that challenge me, so I tend to have more of them than the other.
- A good pinch of motivating and educating to spice it up. I need to know what others people are doing, reading, or learning to help me decide if that is something I would want to do, read, or learn, and maybe add to my own lifestyle. I also like learning in the way people teach people, not in a boring uninvolved textbook style, but with a person's own opinions on the matter. It makes it far more enjoyable and memorable for me.
- Inspirational in that they prompt me to write in turn. When I write "inspirational" I do not necessarily mean that pat-you-on-the-back kind nor that how-to-write kind, but something that motivates me to write, even if on an unrelated subject.
The thing that make it all worth the while is not to survive in Blogland but to thrive in it and that requires a balance with your real life too.
~ My Lord, thank you for the people You have brought into my life through their writing. I appreciate them all very much, very much indeed! ~

States Should Have the Freedom to Enact and Enforce Their Own Marijuana Laws
Post by Freedom Partners
Arlington, VA — Today, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is expected to unveil a new policy that will give federal prosecutors more leeway to override states and more aggressively enforce federal marijuana laws.
According to a report in the New York Times, "the Justice Department is expected to rescind an Obama-era policy of discouraging federal prosecutors from bringing charges of marijuana-related crimes in states that had legalized sales of the drug."
To date, six states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational use of marijuana.
Freedom Partners Chairman Mark Holden issued the following statement:
"While we are encouraged by the White House's overall commitment to criminal justice reform, we are disappointed by the Attorney General's decision to undermine the 10th Amendment, which gives states the right to enact and enforce their own laws. Many states are reforming their criminal justice systems for the better, and when it comes to marijuana laws, we agree with President Trump that it's 'up to the states.'
"At a time when our prisons are wildly overcrowded and taxpayers are forced to spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year to fund a failed War on Drugs, we believe it's time for a new, smarter approach to drug policy that is sensible and truly makes our neighborhoods safe. Instead of prosecuting non-violent individuals for an act that has already been legalized in half a dozen states and decriminalized in several others, this administration should work with Congress to reform our outdated federal sentencing laws, which ruin lives, tear apart families and communities, and place a massive burden on hardworking taxpayers."

'Big business and the Tory Cabinet may be divided over Britain's future relationship with the EU - but neither camp offers a way forward that would benefit the workers and peoples of Britain', Robert Griffiths told the Communist Party's political committee on Thursday.
Most financial monopolies in the City and their voices in the Tory, LibDem and Labour parties would like to reverse Brexit or at least keep Britain enmeshed in the neoliberal rules and institutions of the EU single market, he charged.
'They know that key policies in Labour's programme - such as public ownership, public investment bonds, state aid for industry, VAT reform, contract compliance and ending the free market in migrant labour - can be blocked by the EU Commission and misnamed Court of Justice', Mr Griffiths argued.
But he warned that the alternative proposed by US and British-owned 'vulture capitalist' firms in the City of London and their Tory supporters is for a post-Brexit Britain that negotiates its own 'free trade' and 'free movement' treaties around the world.
'They fear even the mildest EU regulation of the giant tax-dodging, money laundering and asset-stripping casino that is the City', the CP leader accused.
Britain's communists called instead for Labour to offer a clear alternative to any kind of domination by big business market forces.
'That means Britain leaving the EU and its single market, while retaining access to it on the same terms enjoyed by the US, China and Japan - if not better', Mr Griffiths insisted, 'while rejecting any kind of transitional agreement that maintains the sovereignty of EU treaties and institutions'.
'The transitional arrangements currently proposed by the Tory and Labour leaderships are just a continuation of EU membership by another name, which will be used by some as a breathing space during which Brexit can be sabotaged', he warned.
The CP political committee expressed its concern that Tory and Labour failure to stand up to the EU and fully implement last year's referendum decision could revive support for UKIP and the far right of the Tory party.

When you think artisan bread, you may think of a freshly baked loaf made by a professional baker, baked in a specialty oven. But the chewy crust and delicious textured flavor is easily replicated by using the Doveware Dutch Oven.
This recipe is easy to put together and no kneading is required. It doesn't get better than this! Prepare the dough early in the day or the night before as this bread requires a long rising time for the yeast and flavors to develop.
3 tbsp butter, melted
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast
1 cup raisins
1 cup water
1/2 cup milk
Parchment paper, 15" x 15" piece
Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, brown sugar, yeast and raisins. Add the water, milk and butter and mix with a large spoon until well combined.
The dough will be very sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 12- 18 hours or until dough has nearly doubled in size.
With a bowl scraper or lightly floured hands, gently remove the dough in one piece and lift the edges towards the center to create a rounded shape.
Place the ball shaped dough on the parchment paper and let rise for another hour.
Before baking, use a sharp serrated knife and slash the top of the bread with an "x" or any pattern, about ¼ inch deep.
Fifteen minutes before the end of the second rise, preheat the oven to 450º F.
Place the empty Dutch Oven with lid onto the center rack and heat for 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the heated pot and with the help of the parchment paper, invert the dough into the pot or simply place the paper and dough inside the pot.
Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until bread has a golden brown color.

About Our Site
IceBreakerGames was formed to offer a unique reference point on great ideas for ice breaker games.
The importance of interaction between a group of employees, school children, students or guests can be vital in the success of the group's dynamics. Bringing a group of people together can be a difficult task and if barriers are not broken down quickly and effectively many individuals may feel isolated and withdrawn from the group.
You can counter act this by applying simple but very effective ice breaker games that break down personal barriers and help connect a group of people in a short space of time. Our IceBreakerGames website offers a vast selection of ice breaker game ideas and takes you step by step through the process of organising and playing the games to gain the full effect.
Our experts have compiled articles that relate to a number of familiar backgrounds where ice breakers are effective tools; such as education, corporate situations, parties and youth groups. Within each subject are a number of articles created by our knowledgeable experts who have tried and tested each ice breaker game and also offer valuable advice on which games work best in certain situations.
The website deals with the problems that can arise when bringing a group together and we pride ourselves on giving the most up-to-date, well researched information available that can help you create a perfect starter point for any group.
Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by experts - who have experience, or a particular interest in this area.
Our BackgroundIceBreakerGames was founded by John Rowlinson, the founder of PtS.
John, through PtS, is involved in a number of ventures including software and property companies. A percentage of revenue from these activities goes towards funding IceBreakerGames and a number of similar sites.
Our focus is simply on having experts create the highest quality information possible that is widely read.

These two portraits I have done for a few nights after work 3 to 4 hours each.
This is not customer project. It is my own decision to try something different- in other words - contemporary-classic portrait/s.
Both of them are my dear colleagues.
The project has no special idea. I made this as a little present for them to show my respect and tell them "Thank You for the support you gave me".
Hope you all will like the project.
If you would like to have one like these of you or of you friend or family do not hesitate to contact me. email: firstname.lastname@example.com

"Aayiye Polio Mitaayen," read the slogan etched on the back of bright yellow jackets sported by the 150-odd men and women sitting in the auditorium of S.V.S. Kalyana Mandapam on Sunday. The combination of yellow jackets and blue caps added a sparkle to the 'Polioplus Planning and Orientation Meet' that deliberated the existing state of affairs in terms of polio instances in the country, effective means to eradicate the social malady and the role of the Rotary in specific in the anti-polio drive. The meet was organised by the Rotary Club of Vijayawada Sree Durga.
Endemic countries
"India continues to be one of the four endemic polio countries along with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Most of India's 350 polio cases this year have come from the two States of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. We, as Rotarians, have a special role to play in motivating people to participate in the drive against the ailment that can cripple the society if not contained effectively," cautioned Sam Patibandla, past Rotary Governor and a member of the Indian National Polioplus Committee. He said, though currently Andhra Pradesh was polio-free, Rotarians must not rest until they made sure that each child was covered under the Pulse Polio drive. He also spoke about the polio eradication strategy, Rotary's role in immunisation, national immunisation days and reasons for non-immunisation. Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal said despite best efforts by the government, in association with non-governmental organisations and service organisations like the Rotary, the problem persisted mainly due to lack of awareness. "We cannot afford to relax. Don't rest until the country is officially declared polio-free nation," he called upon the Rotarians.
'Commendable job'
The MP patted the Rotary Club for its exemplary work in this field. He said the Rotarians had also done a commendable job in helping the Krishna district administration in meeting the needs of the flood-affected victims in rehabilitation camps.
District chairman of Polioplus Committee P. Damodar Reddy spoke on 'Hands on participation – the key'. District Governor of Rotary Dist. 3020 Ch. Kishore Kumar, Club president G.V.G.K. Prasad and others were present.

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) is perhaps one of the more anticipated earnings reports this week, as the social-network firm is due to release its fourth-quarter earnings after the bell Wednesday. But to get a sneak peek at what might be coming in the report, one can look to what some analysts put out in their weekly research notes – and the first clue may be coming from Raymond James, which has put forth a bullish expectation for the stock.
Raymond James' Aaron Kessler upgraded Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) from Market Perform to Outperform and set a price target at $38 per share – which is where the stock started at its IPO last May. Kessler predicted quarterly revenue at $1.57 billion and profits at 18 centers per share, which are above consensus estimates of $1.50 billion of revenue and 16 cents EPS. Kessler added that he expects advertising revenue for the quarter to be $1.35 billion, which is up from the $1.28 billion consensus.
Why such optimism for Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB)? Kessler writes of three key reasons – better monetization thanks to increased mobile usage, better ad formatting and international market share growth; positive usage trends, again driven by mobile; and overall expectation of bettering consensus estimates. Kessler also noted continued enthusiasm among Facebook's ad partner, as he wrote that there was "strong advertiser demand for Mobile, News Feed and FBX (Facebook Ad Exchange)."
Overall, Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) has performed 35 percent better than the S&P 500 over the last three months, and the stock has a 12-month consensus price target of $33.50, which is a 6-percent premium on Friday's close of $31.54. After the first half-hour of trading Monday, Facebook stock was up more than 2 percent from the open to about $32.20 per share.
What do you think? Is Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) truly on its way back? Is this rally from $18 per share legitimate? What do you expect from Wednesday's earnings report, and what numbers are most important to you? We'd love your feedback in the comments section below.
DISCLOSURE: I own no positions in any stock mentioned.

Hey everyone.
I feel as though I may be entering into the early stages of Agoraphobia.. My anxiety and depression have slowly been getting worse, but now it seems anytime that I go too far from my house I have an awful panic attack that takes hours to feel as close to normal as I can again.. Car rides are awful, I don't even like going right down the street anymore. I use to love shopping, and car rides and now I dread them.
Any thought of how to try to get this under control, or any tips on how to possibly help?

Our Ministry
The idea of "Adopt Africa" isn't simply to imply that people should literally adopt a child from Africa. Our intent is that everyone should adopt the continent of Africa and the plight of her people into their hearts and lives. There are MANY ways to help Africa's beautiful people, namely: adoption, prayer, sponsorship, humanitarian aid, missions, or simply being an advocate for a cause that you're passionate about.
The point is that waiting around for "someone else to take care of it" is unbiblical and apathetic. It's up to US to "be the change we want to see".

The renal calyces, from seven to thirteen in number, are cup-shaped tubes, each of which embraces one or more of the renal papillæ; they unite to form two or three short tubes (the superior, middle and inferior calyces), and these in turn join to form a funnel-shaped sac, the renal pelvis. The renal pelvis, wide above and narrow below where it joins the ureter, is partly outside the renal sinus. The renal calyces and pelvis form the upper expanded end of the excretory duct of the kidney.
The minor calyces surround the apex of the renal pyramids. Urine formed in the kidney passes through a renal papilla at the apex into the minor calyx; two or three minor calyces converge to form a major calyx, through which urine passes before continuing through the renal pelvis into the ureter.

Prof. Emily Waldman spoke to the Wall Street Journal about the Bronx Household of Faith, an evangelical congregation which filed a petition Tuesday asking the Supreme Court to review a June appeals court ruling that would bar churches from holding worship services on school property.
According to the article, "About 60 churches currently use New York City public-school auditoriums and classrooms for worship activities after school hours and on weekends. The arrangement has allowed small, cash-strapped churches to avoid the city's high rents, as the schools charge a nominal fee to cover the costs of custodians and security staff."
Though the debate over church use of city public school space has been moving through the courts since the mid-1990s, the Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether worship services should be allowed on school property. Waldman told the Wall Street Journal that could make the Bronx church's case a strong candidate for the docket.
"The Supreme Court has decided a number of cases leading up to this issue," Ms. Waldman said. "There's still the open question of 'what about pure religious worship?' That's what makes it different."

On Tuesday morning, Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri advised President Obama to advance Mitt Romney's tax plan. "Look at ways to increase revenue by one growing the economy" he said on Fox News, "and two, maybe look at the tax code, just like Governor Romney suggested, you look at the tax code and increase revenue without increasing taxes."
Mr. Blunt's not the only Republican to tell the newly re-elected Democratic president, who campaigned on a promise to raise tax rates on the wealthiest Americans, that he should embrace his failed rival's scheme instead.
Rep. Dave Camp, for instance, said in a Wednesday press release that "there is a better path forward than simply increasing tax rates, and one in which both sides can claim victory. … There is bipartisan support for tax reform that closes loopholes and lowers rates." Eric Cantor said in a letter to his Republican caucus that "What would be best is a fundamental reform of the tax code that lowers rates, broadens the base, makes America's business competitive again, and reduces the burden imposed by taxes on work and investment."
Mr. Obama may need to tell Mr. Cantor, as he did in 2009: "Elections have consequences and Eric, I won."
The repackaging of the Romney plan as a "victory" for "both sides" is of a piece with the argument that the election wasn't really a "win" for the Democrats, since it wasn't a referendum on policy.
Paul Ryan, in his first post-election interview, said "I don't think we lost it on those budget issues, especially on Medicare—we clearly didn't lose it on those issues." He also added he was open to a deal including "higher revenues through tax reforms."
In school I had a friend who broke up with his girlfriend in a messy fight. She showed up at his house the next morning as if nothing had happened. The Republicans are acting like that girlfriend; only they're even more delusional: They're carrying on as if the Fox pundits who predicted a Romney landslide were right.
