Quinoa Pilaf in Lettuce Cups
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa, picked and rinsed well (the red kind is prettier, but either the red or the white is fine)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped dried cherries
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 grapefruit, zested, plus 2 tablespoons juice
- 1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Bring the water and quinoa to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until quinoa is cooked and curly white germ shows, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and spices, and saute until the onion has softened and the spices are very fragrant.
Stir in the pine nuts and fruit and saute for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the cooked quinoa (all the water should have been absorbed) to the skillet. Stir in the grapefruit zest and grapefruit juice. Taste, and season with salt, pepper, to taste. Allow to sit off the heat for 10 minutes so the flavors seep into the quinoa.
Serve in lettuce cups.

Why the Jets will beat the Titans
By Roy S. Johnson / Y! Sports Blogs
It's over. The Tennessee Titans are toast. The old-as-dirt Dolphins will raise a glass come Sunday afternoon because the undefeated will be no more.
Yeah, I'm sayin' it. The New York Jets will beat the Titans this Sunday to dash the NFL's last unbeaten team.
The Titans are the 11th team since 1970 to go 10-0. Seven of the previous 10 went to the Super Bowl. Five were Super Bowl champs.
But this isn't about the Super Bowl; it's about Sunday. And on that day, the Titans will be losers.
I love both teams. I love the Titans because Jeff Fisher has created an old-school unit with new-school juice. They play leather-helmet defense and are guided by a geriatric QB (Kerry Collins) who's been cast away more times than Tom Hanks. And yet in guys like their Hammer and Sickle running backs LenDale White and Chris Johnson, third- and first-year kiddies they embody a youthful exuberance that doesn't seem to know any better.
I haven't always been able to say I love the Jets. They've been erratic and confounding, but that's pretty much Brett Favre's dossier. You knew when he was acquired that he would either bring you glory or gore. Eighteen touchdown passes, 12 picks. Favre from perfect, but the Jets are 7-3 and leading the AFC East.
So these are two good teams playing a game that has little long-term implications for either. No matter what happens Sunday, both will remain in contention for first-round playoff byes and storybook playoff runs.
But this isn't about the playoffs; it's about Sunday.
There are some tangible reasons why the Jets will win. They are coming off a 34-31 overtime victory in Foxborough in which they exorcised demons against the rival Patriots. That was a purging triumph that allows the Jets to now play free from the burdens of their past. In other words, Sunday is gravy. Win or lose, they beat the Pats and that matters more.
Also, the Titans have proven themselves worthy of their record, winning successive road games the past two weeks. Back at home on Sunday, it'll become all about the record. At some point Sunday, they'll realize that while you indeed play to win the game, you really play to win the Super Bowl and a November loss when you've got "0" may not be such a bad thing.
More tangibly, the Jets will win because of their offensive and defensive lines. In a sense, they play misdirection football. While you're watching Favre and Thomas Jones (leading rusher in the AFC; bet you didn't know that), their offensive line has gelled into an almost immovable force that carves (for Jones) and protects (for Favre.)
On the other side of the ball, the Jets are equally immovable, allowing only 81.3 rushing yards per game fourth best in pro football. Johnson and White will have a good day, but not a great one. So before the afternoon sun sets, Collins will have to beat the Jets.
And he won't.
The Titans are stingy with points, allowing just 181 in their 10 games fewer than anyone in the NFL. But Favre will score enough.
Enough to win.

Have you looked at the Titans end of schedule?
I for one dont think they are quite good enough to go 16-0 being it has only been done once means the odds are not in their favor.Someone will beat them

The PGA Championship started over eighty years ago, out of a meeting arranged by a department store magnate, Rodman Wanamaker. He invited various big names in golf and other representatives within the industry to have lunch at the Tarpow Club in New York City. Wanamaker had an idea about making money through sales of merchandise through the formation of an professional golf association.
On January 17, 1916, the legendary Walter Hagen, along with 34 other golf professionals met with Wanamaker for a discussion over lunch. One of the ideas presented by Wanamaker involved having a tournament for professional golfers, which he was willing to put up $2,580 for, along with a trophy. Many of his thoughts corresponded to running the Championship similar to the way British News presented the "World Tournament" referred to as the PGA Championship of Great Britain. This was 36 holes in an elimination match play format. Both the first and second rounds were 18 holes each and played within one day. The rest of the matches were 36 holes.
Robert White, Jack Mackie, John Hobens, James Hepburn, James Maiden, Herbert Strong, and Gilbert Nicholls were among those chosen to organize the committee for The PGA of America. On April 10, 1916 in New York City The PGA of America formed with 35 charter members.
On October 10-14 of that same year, the first PGA Championships at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York was held. In the semifinals, there remained three British-born golfers and one American, Walter Hagen. Hagen ended up losing to Jock Hutchison on the 12th and 13th holes. Hutchison went on to play James M. Barnes, who won. Barnes received a diamond medal, along with $500, while Hutchison received a gold medal and $250.
In 1917 & 1918, no PGA Championships took place due to the First World War. In 1919, the PGA Championships resume for the second time at Engineers Country Club. Jim Barnes wins again, successfully keeping his title against Fred McLeod. The first American born winner is Walter Hagen in 1921, as he defeats the two time PGA Champion Jim Barnes, while playing at the Inwood Country Club in Far Rockaway, N.Y.
At the age of 20, Gene Sarazen becomes the youngest player to ever win the PGA Championship in 1922, repeating in 1923 by defeating Walter Hagen at the Pelham Country Club in Pelham Manor, N.Y.
The popularity and prestige of the event grows over time, and more than 10,000 people gathered at the finals of the 1953 PGA Championship in order to watch Walter Bukemo win the match against Torza.
1958 is the year the PGA Championship shifted from match play to stroke play. Dow Finsterwald wins his first victory at the 40th PGA Championship at Llanerch Country Club in Havertown, PA under the new format. This is also the first televised Championship, appearing on CBS-TV.
In 1971 Jack Nicklaus becomes the first professional golfer to win the Grand Slam of Golf, with the U.S. Open, British Open, Masters and PGA Championship titles. Gary Player makes one of the most amazing shots the year following to win the title. Jack Nicklaus breaks another record in 1973, as he erases Bobby Jones record of 43 years and replaces it with his own by winning his 14th major championship.
The first rain delay in tournament history occurred at the 1976 PGA Championship. Despite this, a record setting 115,450 spectators attend the four-day event to watch as Dave Stockton take the win. A year later, history is made again as the first ever sudden-death playoff takes place between Lanny Wadkins and Gene Littler in the 1977 PGA Championship, resulting in a win for Wadkins.
At the start of 2000, Tiger Woods becomes the first to win back to back Stroke play PGA Championships by defeating Bob May in the historic three hole cumulative score playoff, held at Valhalla Golf Club. This created the highest ratings yet seen for the event since 1986. Tiger Woods goes on for the third time in four years, to claim the name of PGA Player of the year.
In 2001, the Slugger Museum opened in honor of past Champions and host exhibits of PGA Championship.
Nine decades later, the PGA Championships become one of the most highly watched events in the world. Every year brings new surprises with the introduction of new players. Now over 100,000 spectators regularly gather to watch the event at the finest courses across the country.

From April 23 to May 2, a group of American cowboys from the U.S. West traveled to Afghanistan to share their horse culture with Afghan chapandaz, students, and the public in Ghor and Kabul. During their visit, they witnessed buzkashi events, demonstrated roping skills, and shared cowboy poetry and music. The visit was sponsored by the Afghan NGO Foundation for Culture and Civil Society (FCCS), the Afghan National Buzkashi Federation, and the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
The delegation from the organization Vista 360°, based in the heart of American "cowboy country" in the Rocky Mountains, was composed of the director, Candra Day Vogel; ranch manager and cowboy poet Gail Steiger; and horse trekking operator, musician and writer Linda Svendsen. The group is committed to preserving the cultural traditions of mountain people around the world and to develop exchanges and partnerships among mountain people of different countries. The organization seeks to "put the arts to work" by harnessing the power of traditional culture for economic development, education, and environmental preservation. Vista 360° has carried out programs in Central Asia and other regions.
During their visit, the Vista 360° delegation explored possibilities for future cultural exchanges with Afghan and international partners.
This video captures a buzkashi match with cowboy Gail Steiger and buzkashi players in Kabul. Gail wrote the song heard on the video, called "Echoes," in honor of his trip.
Susan C. in Florida writes:
What a great idea..wonderful video! It was good to see the connection between the Afghan "cowboys" and the American cowboys. Cowboy to cowboy, horse to horse and heart to heart. Great posting.
John P. in Greece writes:
@ Susan C. in Florida
Yes! We can do it!
But, (just for the record) WE have the BEST cowboys!
Maxine in California writes:
Good to hear that american cowboy safely demostrated roping skills on their horse culture and they returned home safely. Looking forward for the realization for future cultural exchanges!

True American Hero
July 31, 2012
What an incredible honor to be joined by American hero and football legend, Rocky Bleier for our annual dealer conference! Mr. Bleier won a college football national championship in 1966 while attending the University of Notre Dame and went on to join the Pittsburgh Steelers before being drafted into the U.S. Army and being sent to Vietnam following his rookie season. After being seriously wounded in the leg while on a mission, doctors gave him no chance of ever being able to play again in the National Football League. However, hard work and determination enabled him to beat the odds, and he went on to make the team and eventually win four Super Bowls with the Steelers. His message of overcoming adversity through perseverance and dedication was absolutely exhilarating!

JCC On Display
Faculty and staff at Jamestown Community College pulled out all the stops for their prospective future students.
On Saturday, the college's Jamestown campus hosted its annual "Explore JCC!" open house, complete with an information fair, various presentations and guided campus tours.
Approximately 350 prospects came to take in the sights and abundant knowledge offered by the information fair. Several booths lined the perimeter of the Hamilton Collegiate Center's student union, providing visitors with a firsthand account of the services provided by the college's various departments.
According to Jade Barber, associate director of student recruitment, the college's annual open house is open to anyone who might be interested in attending JCC.
"A lot of high school students do tend to come here (to the open house)," said Barber. "But it could be for somebody who is interested in coming back to college, or somebody who is interested in getting some additional training. Really, this is just an opportunity for students to come here and have a one-stop experience. They kind of get an in-depth look at (the college) that's a little bit more than what they might see on the surface if they were to just come to JCC and walk around by themselves."
She added: "Choosing a college is a big decision for the students and their families. You're making a huge financial commitment, and you're making a commitment about your future and what you want to do. Here at JCC, this is a great place to kind of introduce people to it and put their minds at ease. We hope that, if they're here, they are considering us as a college, and we want to be their first choice."
In conjunction with the fair, presentations of 20 minutes in length were given on several different topics. The topics included financial aid, internships, transferability, undecided students, the honors program and the study abroad program. The presentations were concluded with a student-to-student panel discussion.
Kate Ewer, a JCC sophomore and student ambassador, said that her own experience with a JCC open house, as a high school senior, helped sell her on the college.
"I did go to an open house, and it felt like home," said Ewer, who graduated from Eisenhower High School and is attending JCC on a USA scholarship. "And after meeting with professors and talking with financial aid and the counseling center, it was great to realize that people are willing to work with you and wanted to share their information with you."
Greg DeCinque, JCC president, said that he hopes the high turnout for the event is indicative of more students enrolling for the upcoming semester.
"It looks like a really great crowd," DeCinque said. "This strikes me as one of the biggest crowds we've had in a while, and that might be a good omen for the fall. I think there are multiple factors (for student enrollment), but obviously the economy still drives people looking for a quality education at an affordable price – and we are that. And I think that the word is out that this is a pretty good place to be."

Topic: HTML5 and frames
I need frames for my app, however html5 doesn't support them.
Does Rails3 work only with html5? Can I use earlier versions of html?
Why I need frames...
My app looks similar to Google Reader - there is a sidebar on the left and a main area on the right where I want to load external websites. I think frames are the only solution.

One of the most difficult situations some pet owners face comes when their life circumstances change, and for one reason or another they are no longer able to care for their canine companion. A bond between a human and a dog is very strong, and the separation will likely be difficult for both owner and pet. But there are ways that you can help your canine find a new, loving home to which she will adjust as quickly and easily as possible. Here are some tips.
The decision to give up your dog
The first step is to consider whether it's really necessary for you to give up your canine. Some problems are simply insurmountable - perhaps you need to move to a new location that doesn't allow dogs, and you have no other options. In other circumstances, you may be able to circumnavigate the problem and find a way to keep your dog in your life. For example, if you are unable to avoid medical bills for your pet, you may want to consider pet insurance. If you truly can't get around the issue, then it's time to start finding a new home.
Choosing your pet's new family
When searching for an adoptive family, consider looking amongst your friends and family. If you know someone who has already met your pet, and he or she would make a good owner and is in need of a dog, it will be a much easier transition for both you and your canine. Otherwise, you may want to see what community resources are available to you to post an advertisement for your pooch.
Interviewing adopters
Providing for a dog is a job, and like all jobs, it requires a good, solid interview. Before giving up your pet, supervise a visit with your prospective owner and observe how they treat the animal. You should also ask them general questions about pet care in a friendly way, such as inquiring, "How often do you plan on taking the dog for a walk?" This will help you ascertain whether or not they have done their research and are ready to provide care.
This is also the time to inform the prospective owners about any health problems your pet has that will need extra attention, such as diabetes mellitus in dogs or dental disease in dogs. Discuss what treatment entails and answer any questions the interviewee may have.

This software implements a new multistage algorithm to compute the 3D motion and structure from two calibrated images (i.e. with known intrinsic parameters). The point matches can be obtained using techniques such as correlation and relaxation implemented in the software IMAGE-MATCHING.
The classical approach to this problem consists of two stages: (i) using the 8-point algorithm to estimate the 9 essential parameters defined up to a scale factor, which is a linear estimation problem; (ii) refining the motion estimation based on some statistically optimal criteria, which is a nonlinear estimation problem on a five-dimensional space. Unfortunately, the results obtained using this approach are often not satisfactory, especially when the motion is small or when the observed points are close to a degenerate surface (e.g. plane). The problem is that the second stage is very sensitive to the initial guess, and that it is very difficult to obtain a precise initial estimate from the first stage. This is because we perform a projection of a set of quantities which are estimated in a space of 8 dimensions, much higher than that of the real space which is five-dimensional. In our multistage algorithm, we introducing an intermediate stage which consists in estimating a 3x3 matrix defined up to a scale factor by imposing the zero-determinant constraint (the matrix has seven independent parameters, and is known as the fundamental matrix). The idea is to gradually project parameters estimated in a high dimensional space onto a slightly lower space, namely from 8 dimensions to 7 and finally to 5. The proposed approach has been tested with synthetic and real data, and a considerable improvement has been observed for the delicate situations mentioned above.
An example with a real data set is here.
Usage: sfm [-match File1 File2 | -match2 MatchFile] [-P P1 P2 | -A A1 A2] [-outliers File] [-cov] [-mvt | -mvt2 Mvt-to-save] [-3D | -3D2 Recons-to-save] [-outP outP1 outP2] [-verbose] [-max MaxNum] *** Motion and Structure from Motion from two sets of 2D points *** *** A Program of Zhengyou Zhang (firstname.lastname@example.com) *** o Input Point matches can be supplied in two formats: -match :- specifies two files containing 2D points in correspondences -match2 :- specifies the name of the match file (each match in one line) If the points are not in normalized image coordinates, then supplied the intrinsic parameters in either of the following two formats: -P :- supplies the intrinsic parameters in 3x4 projection matrix (Only the intrinsic parameters will matter) -A :- supplies the intrinsic parameters in 3x3 intrinsic matrix: alpha_u c u0 0 alpha_v v0 0 0 1 o Output -mvt :- specifies the file to save motion computed (L->R), given as (r,t) -mvt2:- specifies the file to save motion computed (R->L), given as (r,t) -3D :- specifies the file to save the 3D reconstruction w.r.t. 1st Camera -3D2 :- specifies the file to save the 3D reconstruction w.r.t. 2nd Camera -outP:- specifies the files to save the camera perspective projection matrices o Miscellaneous -outliers :- specifies the file to save the outliers detected (corresponding to indexes of points numbered from 0). Use this option only when the user knows that there are false matches. LMedS will be applied. -cov :- set this option if you also need the covariance matrix. -max :- specifies the maximum number of matches to be processed. [1000] -verbose :- verbose mode

Relieved Chronic Fatigue
Posted by Reviewer1990022 on Apr 15, 2010
I have no idea how this product works and I love it. A medical intuitive proscribed this for me years ago. I was taking maybe 20-25 pellets three times a day along with their Biochemic Phosphates in similar quantities to help with depletion. I also started drinking a lot of spring water, as recommended. Very quickly, I felt the chronic fatigue symptoms were relieved. I still like to take it sometimes and always have some on hand. Kind of a magical product for me.
great product
Posted by Reviewer2761412 on Feb 02, 2011
I used to have tightness in my hand in the morning after I played tennis previous day. I started taking these after reading about general benefits of keeping all the salts in balance and this worked awesome. I do not have to shake my hand to get me going anymore and I only take once a day 4 tablets. I am 45 active guy so I will take these for ever as salt balance is very important plus always avoid table salt, use minerals or sea salt.

Great product! Not only has relieved my RA pain but helps me to sleep so much better at night. Thanks!

I can see why the activist hedge fund manager wants Sony to split: he has the possibility of making a lot of money. Whether it's a good idea long-term for Sony is another matter.
I agree on your summary above.
As for your suggestion that Sony should get out of TV business, I also agree. But here's the thing. I think they need to figure out a way to carve out a new revenue stream from content, and for their TV biz -- without them actually manufacturing TVs.

Dear Person,
We think you are great.
About a year ago we set up a Night Manager system to get the cafe running more smoothly, especially in the evenings. It helps us sell food later into the evening and to make sure everything is locked up properly at the end of the night. We think you might be able to help with this.
Firstly we would like to give you the grand, official title of Night Manager. This will have implications...
1. We will be relying on you to do a night shift roughly once every two weeks. It will still be up to you when you work, and we will not put pressure on you to work if you are busy with other things. If you can't work as often as this, that's okay too.
2. You will have the power to delegate tasks to other volunteers who are on shift with you. We would also appreciate if you could help train them and turn them into super volunteers (we accept that in some cases this will be impossible).
3. You will also have the power (and the responsibility) to deal with any misbehaving punters. It is up to you to decide if someone is too drunk, too aggressive or just too much of an arse. If you need it, ask for help from other volunteers who are on shift or hanging out. Or, if you really need to, call emergency services on 999 (in serious cases only).
4. We would like to know the place is going to be left reasonably clean and properly locked at night. This means you will generally be the last to leave the building, unless you hand over responsibility to another NM or a Forest working group member.
5. By law, we are allowed to stay open until 2am. Everyone must be out of the building by 3am. However, you are only responsible for keeping the space open until 11pm. This should give you enough time to clean up and go home by 12-12.30am. Acts can arrange to play later than this, but it must be arranged in advance. If there is not an event, or you do not have enough volunteers, it is up to you whether you would like to close earlier.
6. Please make an effort to be nice to performers – especially if they are good and you would like to see them come back! Get them a cup of tea, make sure everything is going alright, and maybe make them some free food if you think it is appropriate. This doesn't mean a burrito for every member of a 12-piece band, but you could give them a plate or two of nachos. It's your call.
7. Some acts may get half of the corkage at the end of the night. This should be arranged in advance with the events working group, or with you at the beginning of your shift. If a performer asks at the end of the night, it is up to you to judge.
8. You will have a direct line (via a dedicated internet forum) to other kitchen managers and night managers for discussion of all things kitchen-related. If you have not signed up to the bulletin board yet, go to http://www.theforest.org.uk/bb. From there, you can register with a login and ask for posting permission from Gaz, ravanwin or beev (send them a pm telling them the colour of the stage). Take a look at the working group forums, and see if you might want to get involved in any other areas of Forest.
9. For every shift you manage, you will be given a voucher for a free forest meal & drink, in addition to whatever you have while you're working. We use free food to convey our love and thanks for taking on this extra responsibility - delicious.
10. Before your first Night Managing shift you should meet with a Kitchen Manager or Forest working group member to learn how to lock the doors and turn everything off.
We hope you will decide to night manage and help spread the Forest love just a little bit more. If not, we love you anyway and would like to give you this shiny meal card to say thanks for all your hard work so far.

Has equality been won?
To the editor:
In light of Governor Dayton signing the bill legalizing gay marriage, it's clear that equality has been won.
Or has it?
For the liberal who wishes to be as "tolerant" as he touts, the fight for marriage equality is far from over. As you read this, there are thousands of adult, consensual polyamorous relationships (those consisting of more than two people) fighting for their inherent human rights to be legally recognized and to receive the same benefits married couples do. And there are more than that: adult, consensual sibling relationships (brother and brother, sister and brother, etc.) have, for centuries, been viewed as subhuman, and told that their love is not equal to that of an unrelated couple. Will the liberal readily declare that "love has won," when all this other discrimination remains? Are these relationships not worthy of the same recognition and status as heterosexual and homosexual ones?
Despite recent success, the liberal must not become bigoted and throw the rights of these relationships under the bus. To be consistent, the liberal must be willing to take the next step in extending the marriage label to ALL relationships that consist of consenting adults – not just homosexual ones. Indeed, the logical follow-up of same-sex marriage is just this. With the criteria defining marriage being limited to nothing more than mutual love and adult consent, the liberal has pigeonholed himself into a battle far from over, and one that threatens to strip marriage of any distinction whatsoever. So, to stay true to his "tolerant," "open-minded" ideology, and to convince me that marriage really serves no other goal than to personally fulfill, my liberal friends have a lot of work to do.
Until then, I'll side with a definition of marriage that has been consistently shown to work best – a complementary male-female union with the unique ability to bring about the next generation.
And so, to my liberal friends: If you wish to be consistent, you better get going. After all, "love is love," right?

Newtown Gun Backlash Hits Wall Street Via California Mega Funds
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wall Street can take a leading role in growing support for stricter gun control and an assault weapon ban, in the wake of a mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school on Friday that killed 26 people, including 20 schoolchildren.
As political support grows for gun reform signs indicate that Wall Street may already be in the process of a 'watershed' change when it comes to the manufacture of high-power firearms that oftentimes are at the center of rampage killings.
On Tuesday, private equity giant Cerberus Capital Management said it would divest its controlling stake in the largest U.S. gun manufacturer and the maker of the Bushmaster assault rifle that authorities say 20-year-old Adam Lanza used in the Newtown, Ct., shooting.
While Cerberus said the decision to divest the holding - a 95% stake in gun and ammunition manufacturer Freedom Group -- was outside of a policy debate on gun control or the Second Amendment, signs indicate key Wall Street investors are using the tragedy as a turning point in making investments that center on social issues such as gun control.
In the wake of the shooting, California state Treasurer Bill Lockyer asked the state's pension funds -- the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) -- to dispose of investments in manufacturers of guns deemed illegal in the state. The call included both pensions' investment in three Cerberus-run funds that owned stakes in Freedom Group, and caused Lockyer to publicly question whether California would continue to invest in the private equity firm.
Even if Cerberus isn't participating in a policy debate by divesting its Freedom Group holdings, California's Lockyer is.
"These guns are illegal in our state and we shouldn't be investing in those kinds of firms," Lockyer said in a late-Tuesday interview with TheStreet, of assault rifles such as the ones manufactured by Freedom Group and used in Friday's shooting.
Lockyer also said he expects the pension funds of other states to also conduct a similar review. "I would expect that to happen in maybe half of the states," says Lockyer, pointing to New York, Connecticut, Illinois and North Carolina, among others.
With hundreds of billions in pension assets under management, CalPERS, CalSTRS and similar funds in other states are key players on Wall Street. Their investment in private equity firms was crucial to the growth of industry titans such as Cerberus and publicly traded competitors The Carlyle Group (CG) , The Blackstone Group (BX) and KKR(KKR) . If a pension investor decides a type of company is outside the bounds of what it can invest in, the decision ripples across the private equity and investing world.
Such was the case on Tuesday as Lockyer of California and New York State comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said investments in certain gun manufacturers may soon be prohibited.

"Chained," the second single off Coexist, has all the somber intensity that is distinctly xx and nothing more. The play of lyrics between Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim invoke heartbreak and the rhetoric that often emerges in its wake, asking, "Did I hold you too tight?"
Bringing this lament to life is LA video production crew Young Replicant, who have previously created videos for Purity Ring, M83, Wise Blood, Baths, and more. Applying their abstract narrative style to "Chained," the team brought to life a story conceived by The xx's Romy Madley Croft that takes place underwater. With the same simplicity of their music, each of the band members plays a part within this setting. As Croft describes it, "No vignettes, just three individual journeys."

Two face meth charges
IRON MOUNTAIN – Dickinson County Circuit Court arraignments have been set for two Kingsford residents facing methamphetamine charges.
Chad Leon Lessor, 37, of Kingsford, is charged with four counts of delivery/manufacture of controlled substance – methamphetamine; operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine; breaking and entering a building; and habitual offender, second offense notice.
According to the felony complaint, Lessor's father gave police permission to search his residence on April 8, which resulted in the discovery of various known components used to manufacture meth. Police also found a bag containing copper tubing, later discovered to be stolen.
Court records note Lessor admitted he and a co-defendant stole the copper tubing from 505 Vulcan St. He also admitted to being involved in manufacturing methamphetamine for about three years.
For the drug charges, the felony complaint states multiple witnesses advised police that between January and February they observed Lessor manufacturing methamphetamine on multiple occasions at 522 East A St. During an interview, Lessor acknowledged that he's been making methamphetamine at various locations within Dickinson County, including the A Street residence, the complaint says.
Lessor was previously convicted of attempted resisting and obstructing a police officer in Dickinson County District Court on Oct. 3, 2000.
Lessor is scheduled to arraigned before Judge Richard J. Celello on June 3 at 9 a.m.
Also arrested is Kristy Heather Patrick, 34, of Kingsford. Patrick is charged with one count of operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine.
According to the felony complaint, Patrick admitted that she purchased Sudafed on approximately six occasions knowing that it would be used to manufacture methamphetamine. She provided the Sudafed to Lessor in exchange for some of the finished product, and drove him around to purchase various other components used in the manufacturing process.
A search warrant at the A Street residence on Feb. 21 produced a number of components used manufacturing methamphetamine, police said.
Patrick is scheduled to be arraigned before Judge Mary B. Barglind on May 1, at 1 p.m.

Lennon Vs. Macca
Singer: Paul is far better here I think. He sings the ballads and the rockers best. Golden slumbers is a good example on a ballad, Oh darling on a rocker. I also think he sings best on a lot of Johns songs. The high vocal in the chorus in AHDN, and There´s a place.
Melodic Songwriter: Paul is far better here. He has no doubt written the best melodies in the Beatles, though John has some wonderful melodies as Nowhere man and Julia.
Lyrican Songwriter: Here they are equal to me. Both have written funny lyrics as obladi oblada and bungalow bill but both have also written strong lyrics as Eleanor Rigby and You´ve got to hide your love away. At the moment I´m more into lennons lyrics as No reply and I don´t want to spoil the party.
Performance on a stage Paul definately. look at the ed sullivan shows. I love his attitude on stage, his smile and he has always time to wink to the audience. I do more like his charm than Lennons superiority.
In the studio Again Paul. Right since their first recordings in the start of the 60´s he was the musical leader.
The spirituel leader John definately. He was more leading on the spirituel parts than Paul. Paul was the musical leader.
Musician: Paul no doubt. He plays almost all instruments.
creativity Paul. His great talent to make new stuff all the time.
CourageJohn. He always said what he felt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VIKI Wonderfully pleased I first ordered this coat in a large so I could wear it over sweaters, but sent it back for a medium. I wear a 10/12 top.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toughy505 Perfect Light Raincoat The first morning of my visit to the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands, we took a five-mile walk along the beach and up to a prehistoric burial site. We dropped down some steps to the little town of Gorey, and then proceeded all along the Royal Jersey Golf Course (open to the public) to brunch. The raincoat was the perfect windbreaker, coming off when the drizzle stopped, and then back on again as the air chilled or the rain started again. It was just right. I don't know what I would have done without it. August 24, 2013

This was great for me and my other friend who is also a mom. We really enjoyed the history behind everything and were very interested in reading every detail on everything. Our kids on the otherhand were happy to be in a new environment, however, they did not have much appreciation for the historical here.
Great for adults......young kids....not so much!

The Franklin Institute was very interesting. The Pompeii exhibit was definitely worth seeing, and the other aspects of the museum were nice additions. The Planetarium is very much targeted toward children 15 and under, but it was interesting...continued

It was interesting but brief.

Beautiful everyday and decorative objects excavated from the ruins are displayed in rooms that evoke the feel of a Pompeiian villa. Lovely exhibit.
Admission is free for those ages 2 or younger.
General admission to The Franklin Institute is included in the ticket price.

Conserve energy and reduce workspace heat with a compact fluorescent bulb
If you regularly use a trouble light, this tip from Club member Ed Swierc of Colorado Springs, Colorado, can help you conserve energy and work more comfortably. If you replace the incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb, the light will not only use less energy but also generate less heat � a benefit you�ll appreciate next time you�re working in tight quarters.

Few players at the table
Small games of chance are apparently a bad bet for taverns in Pennsylvania, since, at this writing, only a handful of watering holes have applied for licenses.
The General Assembly and Gov. Corbett were hoping for millions of dollars in new revenue for the state as well as some coin for local municipalities when they expanded gambling to taverns.
However, since applications for the licenses became available on Jan. 27, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has received only six.
That's right; among the thousands of bars in Pennsylvania, only six so far have decided to go for it.
What happened?
We were told at the time that our elected representatives had heard impassioned pleas from bar owners, asking to please, please, please be allowed to pass around pull-tabs, run raffles and all the other gambling goodies that private clubs had been offering for years.
"This rollout is worse than Obamacare," Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman, R-Centre, said at a hearing last week. "More people signed up for Obamacare than we're signing up for this small games of chance, from an industry who begged for this."
Sen. Corman said he believed the requirements for two sets of background checks, state and federal, have dissuaded bar owners from applying.
Others have complained about the sheer volume of paperwork involved and whether the buy-in is worth the effort. The state requires $2,000 as an application fee and another $2,000 for the license if it's granted.
Add in the cost of materials, and bar owners would be sliding at least $6,000 on the table for their gamble on gambling.
A spokesman for the governor remains upbeat, predicting that many, many more taverns will be coming on board throughout the year.
We, however, believe the expansion of small games of chance will probably not produce a drop in the bucket of revenue the legislature and governor had hoped for.
It is an indication that the legalized gambling well has reached the upper limit of its productivity.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
In short: Not the biggest Half Marathon in the World without a good reason.In full: My 3rd GNR and still the same fantastic event. Now with the City Games & Expo makes for a whole weekend experience (More needed in the expo thou). The crowds were, as usual wonderful giving huge amounts of support from the front runners to the runners at the back. Goodie bag was interesting this year - Fajitas Seasoning Mix - love it. Even with the rain coming down it didn`t damper the GNR atmostsphere. See you next year.Date of review: September 22, 2010
In short: Fantastic atmosphere - though frustrating from a 'running' point of viewIn full: Overall I really enjoyed this iconic race, the local support was truly amazing (fantastic goodies on offer!) and there is obviously a great deal of pride in the event. It did feel like more of an obstacle course though, and I found myself weaving around men in tutus and superheroes and trying not to wipe out on discarded water bottles. Lots of poeple walking after only a couple of miles, and a large number of people (frustatingly) stopping on the home stretch. Glad I did it, but prob wouldn't do it again.Date of review: September 22, 2010
In short: My 1st GNR. I hope to come back again.In full: Only my third half, but definately my favourite so far. The atmosphere at the start is amazing, and the support from the locals is a massive boost, everything from oranges and extra drinks to high-5s and hose-pipes. The route isn't the prettiest but that is more than made up for by the atmosphere and the organisation.I'd have to agree with other posts that the course elevtion map seems tame on paper, but it really takes it out of you on the day, especially that last climb before the drop to the sea. That said, 45s off my PB (more if I deduct my 'pit-stop') so I was well chuffed.My only gripe would be the unrealistic times people seemed to believe they would run. I'm no speed demon (green bib), but people allocated in my 'pen' were walking after 2 miles and really clogging up the road.Date of review: September 22, 2010
In short: A experience everyone should try!!In full: My first half marathon so acheived a PB :-).Had stood as a spectator a couple of times, and watched ordinary people of all ages, sizes and abilitiy having a great time, which gave me the inspiration to have a go. And after 3 years of missing out in the ballot, entered through a charity place last year only having to defer it to this year because injury :-(Well worth the wait!!!!And in the words of Arnie " I'll be back" !!!!!Date of review: September 22, 2010
In short: Fantastic atmosphere and a very well run eventDate of review: September 22, 2010
In short: Awesome AtmosphereIn full: As usual atmosphere awesome (no different to 30 years ago when I did first GNR). Organisation perfect. Unique rememberance before race whilst playing Abide by Me reminds you what most people are doing this race for. The numerous people I saw crying at this stage was unique and made you want to run. At last a year where weather was cooler.Date of review: September 22, 2010
In short: WELL WORTH DOINGIn full: I would like to say a big thank you to the many thousands of people who make the GNR possible and especially to Brendan Foster for coming up with the idea in the first place.Everyone should do it once to recognise the great people of Tyneside and their generosity - -whether it be oranges, ice pops, face wipes or even the man on the bus shelter with the hose pipe! It really does give you faith in mankind.There were some downsides - like the number of people who told had strange views of how quick they would be - maybe vanity for them but pain for people who want to enjoy getting into their stride. Also special mention for those wearing ipods - either ban them or make people run at the back who want to wear them -they are a danger to others!All in all great but as they say do not expect a PB. Date of review: September 22, 2010
In short: GNR need you say moreIn full: excellent organisation in the racemetro strained for spectators and at the end but the people make this a great event, despite the rain the kids were high fiving and oogy oggy ogging forBritain and Metro staff werefriendly and helpful. Despite the travel delays I'll be backDate of review: September 21, 2010
In short: My first and, hopefully, not my last -a great day outIn full: I was fortunate to be invited to join the TV Times team running for Leukaemia and Lymphoma research ("The Banana Army") so got to experience the day as a 'VIP'. A coach to the start and the hospitality tent at the end certainly make bookends of the day more agreeable, but the run was more challenging that I'd expected.I'd run Hastings in 1'40" this Spring, and thought the GNR looked a lot less steep (at least on the elevation maps). Maybe so, but it seemed to roll - up and down, up and down, all the way to South Shields. I ran the second half seven minutes slower than the first, which speaks for itself.Still managed to get a PB of 1:37:56 - and a great chat with Sonia O'Sullivan.The VIP treatment was nice, but 13 miles is 13 miles - I'm proud to have done it and hope to return.Date of review: September 21, 2010
In short: ENJOYED MY THIRD YEARIn full: This was my third year and the organization gets better and better.But its getting very busy,i was in orange D pen and it was very full where i was.In the race i got stuck behind people and was boxed in so many times.I put a time in i knew i could achive,(not like a lot of people, who like many have mentioned walked after a few miles.)Having said that i don t really come here for a PB,i love the red arrows flying over you and the support was fantastic given the weather at times.The marshalls who give there time up were fantastic also.The goody bag this year was very good with lots of content.Date of review: September 21, 2010
