Massachusetts State Treasurer Steven Grossman announced Monday his choice for the state's new commission to oversee casino gambling in the state.
Grossman appointed Enrique Zuniga, a civil engineer and corporate finance analyst who's currently the executive director of the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust. He will be one of five overseeing the licensing of three casinos and one slot parlor in the state. Grossman's choice is required to have experience in corporate finance and securities. Zuniga says he understands the work he is undertaking will require a delicate balance.
"The Commission will need to balance the economic development goals with the need to have financially feasible casino resorts. At the same time there is the need to minimize the potentially negative impacts that some projects might bring to communities."
Zuniga is 45 and lives in Jamaica Plain. last year, after the legislature approved a casino gambling bill, Governor Deval Patrick appointed gaming commission chairman, Stephen Crosby, a former dean at UMass Boston. Last month, Attorney General Martha Coakley chose former New Jersey state police Lieutenant Colonel Gayle Cameron to represent law enforcement on the commission.
The Commission — created by the casino legislation approved last November — must have its full staff of five members by March 21. Now Patrick, Coakley, and Grossman will fill the final two slots on the commission.

Great leather but not comfy
"These shoes are well made with lovely soft leather, but the design and width make them very uncomfortable. I will be returning these."

painful, narrow
"these shoes are beautiful & might work for a narrow foot, which is the only reason I give it 3 stars. The portion that covers your toe area starts right where (at least on me) my big toe knuckle (?) is, right at the widest part of my foot & pushes right up against that making it painful to stand, I didn't even try to walk in them. I really wanted them because of the color (pink/blk) but unable to stand comfortably meant returning these beauties."

Posted by 5625883774743378361 on Sep 13, 2012
This peanut butter powder is great in oatmeal, shakes, and soo many many more foods! I am in love ... purchased 2 jars of the regular and 2 jars of the chocolate about 4 weeks ago and they are already gone :) will be ordering more ASAP!
Posted by Reviewer2160597 on Jul 20, 2012
This also smelled delicious!! It is perfect when I get cravings for something unhealty, so much better to just mix in a spoon of this in my shake than to eat a Snickers.
Posted by 4968306080885772320 on Oct 11, 2013
After placing my first order on this chocolatey peanut buttery goodness, I placed another order for more! I mixed this in to make a chia seed pudding and it tasted great with a bit help of Sweet Leaf Stevia! Highly recommend!! I like this better than the original..maybe it's because I just love chocolate
Posted by chrysalis on Jul 14, 2013
I love regular PB2, so naturally I also love PB2 with chocolate. The hint of chocolate is nice, but I found this to be quite a bit sweeter than normal PB2. I have to say I actually prefer PB2 without chocolate but this is still delicious.
Amazing, double the helping of peanut butter for me because I CAN, it's so low calories and fat
Posted by 4865586941095003207 on Feb 03, 2013
Amazing in oatmeal, pb+banana sandwiches! Oh my goodness I need to get more.
Great substitute for Peanut Butter. MINUS THE CALORIES! Rich Chocolate Taste
Posted by Sweetx-Shorty on Oct 22, 2013
Awesome substitute for peanut butter. You won't even miss the fatty-ness of real PB at all. Really like how i could adjust the consistency of the finished product. Want it stickier? Add less water! Want it more fluid? Just add a few drops of H2O! Easy to prepare and a delight to savor (: Act today and grab this low calorie substitute for PB NOW! (:
Satisfies the cravings of this Pregnant lady!!!
Posted by Reviewer2414722 on Sep 05, 2012
YUMMMMMM ... so so so yummy. So glad I found this. Really helps with the pregnancy cravings and it's actually good for you... full of protein! and you don't need to have much to settle your PB cravings. So glad Iherb stock this... very very difficult to find in Australia. Virtually impossible to get here.
My favorite!
Posted by lenebear on Aug 03, 2012
I adore peanut butter, and this is by far the best I have tasted so far. I used to make my own homemade peanut butter to avoid all the sugars and preservatives, but I've given that up for this. PB2 is an even faster way to make fresh peanut butter that is pure peanut. I love it! Especially with the added chocolate flavor.

Introductionfish, limbless aquatic vertebrate animal with fins and internal gills. There are three living classes of fish: the primitive jawless fishes, or Agnatha; the cartilaginous (sharklike) fishes, or Chondrichthyes; and the bony fishes, or Osteichthyes. These groups, although quite different from one another anatomically, have certain common features related to their common evolutionary origins or to their aquatic way of life. Fish were the earliest vertebrates and presumably evolved from a group of aquatic lower chordates (see Chordata); the terrestrial vertebrates evolved from fishes.
There are over 20,000 living species of fish. They range in size from the .31-in. (7.9-mm) Paedocypris that lives in tropical swamps in Sumatra to the 45-ft (14-m) whale shark. Many are brightly colored, and many have shapes and patterns that serve as camouflage. They are found in all marine, fresh, and brackish waters throughout the world and at all depths. Members of different species of fish tolerate water temperatures ranging from freezing to over 100°F (38°C). Most are confined either to saltwater or to freshwater, but some are physiologically adapted to moving from one to the other. A number of fishes that are born in freshwater spend their adult lives in the ocean, returning to their birthplace to spawn; the reverse of this migration occurs in some fishes born in the ocean. Many fishes stay in tightly organized groups, called schools; others are solitary and congregate only for feeding and spawning. Fish may be carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous. Some fish are scavengers on lake or ocean bottoms. Fish are a major source of human food as well as of oil, fertilizer, and feed for domestic animals (see fishing).
A number of aquatic invertebrate animals and groups have common names that include the term fish (for example, crayfish and shellfish), but these do not resemble and are not related to true fishes. Furthermore, there are members of the terrestrial vertebrate classes, such as whales and sea snakes, that have adopted an aquatic way of life; these may superficially resemble fishes and are sometimes erroneously called fishes, but they are air-breathers, and their anatomical structure reveals their relationship to land animals.

Dome of the Rock
Photograph by Reza/Getty Images
Muslim men pray beneath the massive stone enshrined at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Israel. Despite its appearance, the dome, called Qubbat as-Sakhrah in Arabic, is not a mosque. Rather, it is a shrine built over the rock from which the Prophet Muhammad is said to have ascended into heaven. The site is also sacred in Judaism as the place where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac.
Built on Temple Mount between A.D. 685 and 691, the dome is the oldest extant Islamic structure and one of the first Islamic monumental buildings ever constructed.
Terra-Cotta Warriors, China
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
Platoons of clay soldiers were buried with China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang Di, to accompany him during his eternal rest. These life-size figures, shown here during excavation at the emperor's burial complex near the city of Xi'an in China's Shaanxi Province, are more than 2,200 years old.
The tomb, which extends over 22 square miles (57 square kilometers) and is said to have required a labor force of 700,000 to build, was discovered by a group of peasants digging a well in 1974.
temples tombs herods tomb
Photograph by HO/AFP/Getty Images
Most scholars had assumed King Herod the Great, who ruled Judea between 37 and 4 B.C., was buried at the Herodium complex in the mountains south of Jerusalem. But his final resting place remained a mystery until 2007, when, after a 35-year search, archaeologists with the Hebrew University uncovered Herod's grave, elaborate sarcophagus, and mausoleum (shown here).
Much of the site, including the sarcophagus, had been badly damaged, possibly by Jewish rebels who loathed the Roman-appointed Herod and led a revolt against the Roman Empire between A.D. 66 and 72. No human remains were found at the site.
Valley of the Kings, Egypt
Photograph by Kenneth Garrett
The Pyramids of Giza and the Nile Delta were the tombs of choice for pharaohs of Egypt's Old Kingdom. But New Kingdom pharaohs, seeking to foil tomb raiders and be closer to the source of their dynastic roots in southern Egypt, created what's known now as the Valley of the Kings.
Deep inside the hills of this otherwise barren valley west of Luxor (seen here from above) sit the tombs of nearly all the pharaohs who ruled between 1539 and 1078 B.C. Their strategy in the end did not confound thieves, though, and almost all of the tombs had been ransacked by the time archaeologists began excavating the site in the early 1800s.
temples tombs peru mummy
Photograph by Ira Block
This well-preserved mummy was removed from an ancient Inca cemetery located just outside Peru's capital, Lima. The site, adjacent to Puruchuco-Huaquerones, the largest Inca cemetery ever found, yielded dozens of human remains and artifacts dating back more than 500 years. The mummies were bundled in textile cocoons containing one or more adults or children.
temples tombs rome catacombs
Photograph by Roger Viollet/Getty Images
Catacombs such as these were carved over hundreds of years beginning in the second century A.D. from soft rock beneath the outskirts of Rome. The labyrinthine corridors of these underground cemeteries cover hundreds of acres and house the remains of hundreds of thousands of mainly Christians but also Jews.
At the time, burials were not permitted within Rome, and land outside the city was expensive. Several Christian landowners, however, allowed access to their property for the underground burials, and thus the catacombs came into being. Christians have also used the sites for worship and to celebrate the anniversaries of their martyrs.

The Pyramid of the Sun (top) is the largest structure in the ancient city of Teotihuacan, Mexico, and one of the largest buildings of its kind on the Western Hemisphere. It stands 216 feet (66 meters) tall and measures 720 feet (220 meters) in width at its base.
Originally built as a smaller structure around A.D. 200, the pyramid was added to several times before it reached its current dimensions. It stands over a network of caves and tunnels, which archaeologists think were spiritually significant to the mysterious builders of Teotihuacan.

We'll respond shortly.
git push heroku master and then forgotten to run
heroku run rake db:migrate --app yellow-snow-3141 or
heroku ps:restart
heroku_san, the 85% solution, which allows me to do this:
$ rake staging deploy
And this is what happens: Maintenance mode is turned on; the latest green build is deployed to my staging server; all pending migrations are run, the app restarted, and then maintenance mode disabled. All while I go get a fresh cup of joe.
The value for us is that we don't repeat ourselves, that our app will deploy, and we are confident that extending the toolkit is easy with a clear API and good test coverage. That's a big win when you have dozens of apps deploying all day long.
Installation is pretty simple; add
gem 'heroku_san' to your
Gemfile (you are using Bundler, aren't you?). This gem is only used locally, so you can add it to your
group :development, :test block. Then create and edit a configuration file;
config/heroku.yml[1]. The README file has more details and there's a wiki on github with handy tips on how to extend the basic functionality in common ways.
The gem has been around since 2010 and supported by a loyal core of maintainers. Version 2.1.1 brings changes large and small.
The biggest change since v1.3 is the creation of 2 new classes: Project and Stage, and a test suite to drive out the features. The task library is now almost entirely simple method calls, so there's a lot of confidence that they will run correctly. Just to make sure, however, I've written an integration test,
remote.feature which exercises the whole stack by creating an app on Heroku and run it through its paces. It's worth a read.
There are some other new features worth highlighting:

heroku_san will deploy only the most recent revision with that tag to your stage. This is great for creating a multi-stage environment, and when combined with auto_tagger and a continuous integration server (CI), you get a lot of bang for a little bit. See the wiki for more complete instructions.
Why write your own deploy scripts, again. Use

The Miken Razor Z9 hockey stick is the premier hockey stick from Miken for the 2012 year. Continuing on their succes of the MV5 stick, the Z9 brings a lot of advanced futures to the table as Miken continues to make a name for itself in the stick department.
The Razor Z9 stick features Miken's exclusive Z1000 carbon fiber, which is the the highest grade material utilized in sports equipment that has properties for aerospace applications. The Z1000's strength and modulus exceeds that of any composite stick on the market and eliminates that unneeded resin to reduce weight and create superior balance. Miken's premier Zipfoam blade is foam core injected and wrapped in Z1000 carbon to reduce weight and increase responsiveness. The flex profile for the Z9 is fined tuned using a low kick point and graduated stiffness down to the lower shaft creating greater velocity.

- Level of Player: Ideal for the advance to pro level player
- Construction: Fused one-piece
- Shaft Dimensions: Rounded corners/Straight sidewalls

- Compression molding process provides excellent lamination of foam and composite layers offers a consistent feel and performance
- Flex: 70, 80, 90, and 100
- Length: 60
Comments: I bought 2 of these sticks. One broke in the second practice, about 14 days into the warranty, and the other is still rock solid. It's been about a week since miken got my broken stick so hopefully I will get my replacement soon. I wanted a whip flex so I got the 70 flex blade #10 and I will say it is as stiff as my ccm u+ 92 flex. This stick loads differently than any stick I have ever had and when I shoot slapshots with it all my shots seem to come off very low and the impact feels almost bone jarring. Wrist shots come off pretty hot though and I find myself sniping corners better than with my other sticks, so if I could figure out how to load the stick for the slapper I'd be in heaven. Very light
balanced stick, but I might try something else my next time around.

Three years after the historic Supreme Court decision known as "Citizens United" transformed the first amendment, Massachusetts Congressman Jim McGovern is introducing two constitutional ammendments he hopes will limit the influence of money in politics.
The power of campaign donations to sway lawmakers' votes over controversial issues is not new. But McGovern, who represents parts of western and central Massachusetts, says Citizens United introduced anonymous donations to corporate "Super-Pacs," which are believed to have spent hundreds of millions on both the presidential and congressional campaigns of 2012.
"And it's certainly not contributing to a better dialogue in our political campaign season. So I think this is a moment for us to do something that I think will have a positive impact on our democracy and on our political system."
McGovern says many lawmakers are so busy fundraising they're less able to keep up with constituent concerns. So he's sponsoring two constitutional amendments aimed at bypassing the U.S. Supreme Court. The first would authorize congress to regulate how much money is spent on campaigns. The second goes a step further and reverses Citizens United by limiting the rights of corporations.
"They do not breath, they don't have kids, they don't go and fight and die in wars. Our constitution is very very clear. 'It's we the people,' not we the corporations. We outta empower people. Give people back their rights, give people back their influence."
Defenders of Citizens United who oppose McGovern's efforts say the decision ensures political freedom and keeps elections competitive. McGovern says when he tried to introduce similar legislation last year, no one in the house wanted to talk about it and it was dismissed. He says he anticipates seeing much of the same opposition from the 113th congress.

Pasta is easy and pasta is cheap, so pasta is a standby weeknight dinner for most families. But it often gets weighed down by meat sauce or somewhat disappointing marinara that comes from a jar, when really, it's not much harder (or more expensive) to grab a few vegetables and throw them in the mix. So we found a few recipes to help you get some farmer's market goodies into your summer pasta (or pasta salad)—no meat— so you can spend more time at the beach, less time planning your Meatless Monday dinners.
Buon appetito!

Master 11 has discovered gambling. Apparently, playing poker with Monopoly money is all part of his manhood journey and any impulse I may have to lecture him on the pitfalls of risking money should be suppressed in favour of the learning opportunities to be found in bluffing your way to victory. However, I drew the line at a set of $80 poker chips and told him rather too sanctimoniously that there was no place in our house for such a thing. "But Muuu-um," he moaned, "they're made from good quality plastic . . ." It was a nice try but this was one occasion when quality wasn't worth it.
As a gesture of goodwill and clearly feeling deluded by my parental superiority I decided to make him a new bedspread and his eyes lit up when I mentioned decorating it with the suit emblems. I duly set to work convincing myself that this would be fast, fun and noble (after all I was up-cycling); it wasn't. It was repetitive and required stamina and I didn't have six months to finish it. With the directive that no gratuitous colour be employed I focused on textures and just managed to pass the test.
Step 1 - Measure bed. Facor in additional width and length to create drop. I added an extra 35cm to each side and 40cm to the each end. Decide on block size, include a 1cm seam. I settled on a 28cm square block that allowed me to divide the width measurement by six. I then devided the length by 28 and arrived at the number of blocks required to make the bedspread. Make a template for your block, ideally from graph paper so that it is square. Use the graph paper to create a plan of how your blocks will fit together before you cut them up, or you can lay them out on the florr to arrange them.
Step 2 - Cut your blocks. Speed the process up by folding the material and cutting two at a time. Make sure the template is positioned on the straight grain of the fabric. The here is precision. Wonky blocks will create problems later on. If you're feeling virtuous (or poor) the bulk of your material can come from stuff you have lying around. I used an old paiting drop sheet, two surplus bed sheets and an old blanket and added some colour with a piece of homespun and some felt from Spotlight. Once cut, add any embellishments to the blocks before sewing them together. Sew blocks together in horizontal rows. To avoid seam slippage, double pin the seams first with a horizontal row of pins and then a row of pins placed vertically so that as you sew you remove the horizontal pins and the vertical ones are left to prevent the marterial from slipping. Iron the seams open.
Step 3 - Sew the rows together horizontally, paying attention to matching up seams and double pinning along entire seams. Pin seam intersections flat with two sets of pins. Once you've completed this pinning and sewing marathon, prepare lining to fit, match right sides together leaving a gap in the seam to allow for turning. Sew and turn right side, roll edges between and turn under gap edges, pin and press. Top stitch around edge in desired configuration.
• Yardage, approx. 1.6m x 2.6m for a single bed (can be derived from various up-cycled sources)
• Pins (lots and lots of them!)
• Sewing machine and thread
• Graph paper, pencil, ruler for template
• Fabric scissors
• Iron

|Posted by Dale's Plumbing Service on November 28, 1999 at 13:33:06:
|In response to Re: Sump Pump Repair
: There is a sump pump in the house we just purchased. It is used to move the sewage from the basement bathroom up to the street level where the city sewage is. When we bought the house there was a terrible noise when the pump shut off. I think this was the check valve making a knocking noise. At first it would make one knock. Then it began making two or more.
: Now the knocking has stopped but I am noticing that you can here some water flow back into the resevoir. Now the pump has stopped kicking on by itself. I can manually run the pump by a button on the power cord.
: I guess I am needing to replace the check valve. Is there also some fill valve that I will need to replace on the pump itself? How tough will this be? It is hard for me to know without opening the container and the way it is setup I will need to do that after I get the check valve out. The valve is in the pipe going out of the tank and there is very little play to get the valve out.
: Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
: Thanks

CITY:Rock Falls
Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

Browse Baron Herzog's Excellent White Wines
Baron Herzog's California varietals include a choice range of sumptuous white wines, such as Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc & more.
Possibly its most popular varietal, the Baron Herzog Pinot Grigio possesses the perfect balance of acidity with subtle, flavorful fruit flavors that is perfect when enjoying a light meal or aperitif in the California summer. For white wines to accompany heavier fare such as chicken, veal or fish, try the Baron Herzog Sauvignon Blanc or the Chardonnay.
Also popular is the Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc, a crisp, sweet finisher that pairs just as well with a light salad as it does with full-flavored, richer meals.
Deep, Varied Red Wines in the California Style
A full-bodied, rich meal paired with a deep, complex California red wine is perhaps the pinnacle of food and wine enjoyment. Baron Herzog produces an extraordinary selection of kosher red wines that stand as some of the finest reds crafted in California at what must be considered the most outstanding value.
Counting among their red ranks is the Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon, featuring full-bodied flavor with interesting notes of berry, currant and anise that finishes strong. Similarly flavorful is the Baron Herzog Merlot, great with medium-flavored food due to its soft, velvety nature and satisfyingly long finish.
For those who enjoy giving their food a little kick with some spice, the Baron Herzog Zinfandel pairs very well with spicier, exotic foods, as well as foods with intense barbecue flavors.

By MIKE SAWYERBirmingham, Ala.
My plan to sleep in this Saturday was aborted by Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) Majority Leader of the US Senate who was addressing his proposed health care reform bills on the 4 a.m. C-Spann 2 replay.
Sen. Frist a cardiologist was telling his colleagues why they needed to pass his health care reform laws.
He seemed to be compassionately concerned about the health care of all Americans by reducing malpractice law suits.
He mentioned how the new Texas Medical Reform bill had reduced malpractice law suits by 80 percent.
He shared how one of his Tennessee doctors was relocating to Lexington, Ken. in order to avoid the raging Tennessee malpractice law suits.
Several years ago while in seminary near Lexington, Ken. I was wallpapering in the home of a radiologist who walked in that night and pointed to the cigarette his painter was smoking, and declared, "Right there is the reason I moved here from California."
With tobacco sucking out the life of 450,000 Americans every year can you imagine what the total medical burden may be for these dying addicts?
We know that our constitution guarantees free medical care for all prisoners, but who wants to go to jail to get a free medical ride.
I am aware that Sen. Frist has accepted millions of political-campaign-blood-soaked tobacco bucks for his Republican Party. Regretfully, I know nothing of his position on preventing the medical cost of tobacco illness.
Do you know of any public pill that Dr. Frist has publicly prescribed for America to take to avoid tobacco related medical cost?
Oh, my suggestion is that Senator Frist include that any proven tobacco related illness cost be paid in full by legal-but-lethal big tobacco, not innocent healthy tax payers, especially like you in Utah.
