While we English speaking folk may prefer our pocket translators to start in English and convert to some other foreign tongue, Casio's latest rendition helps those fluent in Japanese order tickets to the Space Needle, haggle at the Chevrolet dealership, and of course, pick up the correct ingredients for warm apple pie. Aimed at middle / high school students, the XD-SW4800 lineup of handheld dictionaries reportedly house the denotation and correct pronunciation for over "85,000 languages," which ironically enough, probably translates to "85,000 words" when not read through a broken translator. Nevertheless, these handy gizmos come in a variety of colors, and aside from supporting keyboard input, it can recognize stylus-written characters and toss back definitions while pronouncing the word to you via headphones. If America isn't your final destination, it also comes with five other major languages on CD that can be loaded on the 50MB of internal space or on your SD card if necessary, and while these things won't last forever, the approximate 60 to 130 hours of battery life should be more than enough to get you acclimated. So while you're waiting for your passport to show up, make sure you pick up Casio's latest travel necessity -- if you can manage the admittedly steep ¥47,250 ($394) to ¥52,500 ($437) price points, that is.

IP/10/1599 Brussels, 24 November 2010 Joint Statement of the Delegations of the Russian Federation and of European Union on the occasion of the conclusion of the bilateral talks on the key issues in the accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO The negotiators of the Russian Federation and of the European Commission have concluded the bilateral talks on key outstanding elements in the accession of the Russian Federation to the WTO. The reached understanding complements the results of the bilateral negotiations concluded in 2004 with regard to important aspects of Russia's export duty regime and railway fees. The negotiations resulted in a balanced outcome on all the issues concerned by these bilateral talks, in a spirit of taking into account mutual interests. Both sides are confident that this agreement will greatly facilitate the overall process of accession of Russia to the WTO, and they re-affirm their shared commitment to continue working in a constructive and co-operative spirit on the remaining questions in this multilateral process to achieve this goal as soon as possible. They are aware of the remaining multilateral issues to be resolved in such areas as agricultural trade, technical regulations, including sanitary and phyto-sanitary rules, and the investment regime in the automotive sector, in order to complete this process. They express their confidence, however, on swift progress on this path. Both sides stressed their strong expectation that the rapid accession of Russia to the WTO will greatly contribute to the opening of new opportunities to do business with and in Russia and strengthen the international competitiveness of the Russian economy by harmonising its economic regime with global trading rules. They agreed to conduct their current trade relations in a manner reflecting the spirit of the agreements reached between the EU and Russia in the context of Russia's WTO accession negotiations.

we'll get respect when we start putting back to back wins over competitive teams... teams over .500, and so far we haven't done that.
we'll get respect when we start putting back to back wins over competitive teams... teams over .500, and so far we haven't done that.
I think we'll need to get at least one playoff win to get respect. If we go into Cincy and beat them in their house, we'll get some respect.
I disagree, I think if we beat Cincy they'll attribute it to them having a bad game. Due to our inconsistancy, I think we'll probably have to win a couple playoff games before we start turning heads. It stinks but that's the bed we made.
It's sort of like the SOJ mentality, there are 19 losses a year that can support that theory, but only one win that can disprove it.
Guess that makes me a doosh
fauxchowd finally gets it
Trying not to sound too harsh, but, frankly, I don't think the jets deserve undue respect, given how much trash their HC has talked all season, along with the Swaggerlicious nonsense from guys like Bart Scott and Kerry Rhodes. You talked big, especially after the impressive start and these chickens coming home to roost are what's been well earned. May sound harsh, but I think most honest jet fans will at least see that as a legit perspective.
trying not to sound too harsh but frankly your disingenuous subjectivity ruins the content of any of the swill you post here
make yourself an outtake
A leopard can't change his spots. Doesn't matter where he posts, the content is the same.
The Jets are clearly no juggernaut, but I think it's a bit preposterous to penalize them for the way the schedule worked out, and claim that teams like Pittsburgh (losing to Oakland, KC, and Cleveland late in the season) deserves to be in instead.
Let's be honest -- outside of the top two teams, the AFC is mediocre. There's a reason that the Jets controlled their own destiny at 7-7: nobody else stepped up. In fact, just about everyone else choked.
With the number of brutal, heartbreaking losses we've had this year, no Jet fan has to apologize for anything... If we make the playoffs, we will have made it winning 5 of our last 6 games. If that means the Steelers deserved it more than us (losing to three awful teams in that span) to some people, so be it. I respectfully disagree.
Great post dude.
And while the Colts game most likely would have went in the Colts direction had all the starters played the whole game, its is complete BS to assume 100% certainly that would have been the case.
a 5 point lead isnt by ANY means an insurmountable amount of points to come back from.
Respect is earned in my book, the Jets have earned nothing.
If the Jets get a playoff spot then earning is possible.
You know how Rex talks smack and other teams laugh it off saying its just going up on their bulletin board..... I am POSITIVE articles like this are all bulletin board material in East Rutherford this weekend! I hope ESPN and Yahoo! (check out their main page tonight - yikes!) keep it up cause you are going to have some pissed off players come Sunday out to prove they belong in the post-season.
Once again, the Jets are the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL.
I stopped caring what the critics and haters have had to say, that's why I go on this site, where intelligent Jets fans can heap praise upon the team when they win, and bash them when they deserve it, and vise versa.
However, I do somewhat agree that we have done nothing yet to be crying about getting respect. If we win these next two games than we have accomplished something. I also believe that Rex will know how to use this to our advantage to get the team fired up for Sunday.
We can only hope to get better every year until we reach that promised land.
Like I said before, every coach would kill to create an "Us against the world" mentality in their locker room. The media is doing the job for us.
Screw the media, who cares what they think? We're in this spot because we earned this shot (At least moreso then the other teams have).
The NFL is one of the most boring sporting bodies that exist. "No-Fun-League" is not an exaggeration. If players like OchoCinco want to do a little celebratory thing in the endzone, or god forbid if coaches exude any confidence, geez, label them as outcasts and root for the sky to fall on them so you can tell your buddies "I told you so".
And I do like to see the swagger on the field as much as the press conferences, but at least our coach isn't some robot. He has emotions and passion for the sport. Something the NFL hasn't found a way to completely strip out of football just yet.
Lots of players write checks with their mouths that their body's can't cash on game day. Too bad Belechik has the entire NE organization too scared to breathe too loudly otherwise your players may enjoy having an opinion once in a while too..
The season boils down to just 19 Sundays (or around 19 hours) of game time. Baseball covers that the first 2 weeks. So without some stuff to talk about during the week, it would be a long and boring season. Especially for Jets fans
RESPECT is for losers
WINNING SUPERBOWLS is for winners
and in the decade from 2010-2019, YOUR New York Jets will win at least THREE of them
Who the hell is penalizing the Jets here? This isn't college football where writers and other coaches can drop a team in a poll for a perceived weaker schedule or any other outside factor. I still don't get why so many people care if someone says the Jets are overrated, got lucky, etc. It has absolutely no impact on whether the team is given a chance to prove itself.
That's the problem with you whiney insecure Pat fans, Rex hasn't talked trash, he's taking over a team that has a history of losing and the inability to get over the hump, and he's trying to change the culture of the organization and has been installing a mindset and attitude he wants out of his team, but you sensitive queerbaits can't handle it.
Call it whatever you want, the Jets of years past could have folded after tough losses against the Bills, Dolphins, Falcons, and Jax, they are still in it, controlling their own destiny. Any other team, you'd give them credit, but because they are the Jets, you pathetic Pat fans cry about it.

4.31 / 5.00 5,455 ViewsThis took a while to do and I'm not convinced that it's my best work. I hope I can get some brownie points for cuteness at least.
If you guys see anything I did wrong or could've done differently, feel free to tell me in the comments.
Original Comic: http://www.vgcats.com/com ics/?strip_id=201
Update: Wow! Thanks for the front page guys! Currently working on VG Cats 6 (my second to last installment). I'll upload the christmas special "The Perfect Gift" this friday or saturday.
I find it ironic that I was hoping for brownie points, but instead I get brony points /)^3^(\
Also there is a couple of hidden things near the beginning. Can you find them?
+ It has snake in it
- Poorly animated
- I don't comprehend
- Poor voice acting
- Not very Entertaining
All I can give is 5 and even that is a little too generous
Thanks, I needed the laugh.
I don't Follow VG Cats, but that was Okay
I was rather confused by the random assortment of characters that were gathered in the classroom, they don't seem to have anything whatsoever in common. I'm assuming this is a normal occurrence in the comics since I seem to be the only one confused. Nothing really made me chuckle aside from the Metal Gear related stuff, but that's probably because I'm an MGS idiot. HK's ranting was amusing, but nothing special. And the Duke joke is old and boring, but I'm guessing this an old strip.
Voice actors did great, Omahdon always does good work. I don't understand why the actress for whats her face wasn't credited, unless the credits are to be believed, Omahdon did all the voices including her's. And like others said, the animation was simple and did it's job, which was all you were going for I'm sure.
Well, that was alright. Try picking better strips next time?
To the "animator" of this flash
The voice acting is alright but the title is a total lie in that this is barely animated at all. Mostly just tracing the original comic panels with the occasional bad motion tween movement that literally anyone would be capable of pulling off. Generally I get the feeling that this is the result of a bad "animator" taking advantage of a popular webcomic and some decent voice actors to become e-famous despite having zero skill. Your latest My Little Pony flash (no skillfully rendered movement, art closely copied from the show, based on a fanfic someone else wrote) makes me think that you've based your entire flash celebrity "career" around taking advantage of the work of other, more creative and skilled people to catapult yourself to internet stardom.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater Journals
- - New 75 gallon
New 75 gallon Recently got a 75 gallon. Got the tank, oak stand, light strip, gravel, filter (emperor 400), heater (ebojaber 200W) all for 100 bucks. Pretty good deal in my opinion. There's a crazy story behind this tank, when I brought it home it still had the gravel in it and I discovered there was a REALLY small pleco laying on the gravel. I rescued the pleco and it's doing fine in my other tank, it survived nearly 2 hours out of water! Amazing fish. I know the tank looks rather boring, just set it up a couple days ago. I'll be adding more plants/wood soon and of course fish. I'm thinking of moving my 3 goldies and 2 plecos into this from my 30G so they have more room. Still thinking about what other kinds of fish, if any, I will be adding...maybe a skoal of minnows, Corydora Catfish, or maybe even some Zebra Danios. I'll have more pics of the tank once I move my fish in there and do a little aquascaping. Let me know what you think so far. http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/314...fFmj0300_1.jpg http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/314...HYMR0300_1.jpg http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/314...00rr0300_1.jpg |
I like the tank. Glad that you got some natural gravel in there! Poor little pleco! Thats a tuff lil guy if you ask me....do you know what kind it is? A nice centre piece of wood and plants would be a nice start...There are many option with fish so just feel free to ask. How are you planning on cycling the tank....? Just wondering. cant wait to see the steps in the making.. nick |
Pretty sure they're both common plecos...when I get some pics of them up, maybe you guys can identify them. When I got the tank, it was already in use and the guy threw in all the gravel and the filter with media so I figured that would aid in the cycling process. In addition, just put in some Bio-spira to get the tank cycling quickly. So within the next few days I'll keep an eye on the parameters and then add some fish. I have some driftwood from my 30 gallon that I'll move into this, and a few plants too. |
Also threw in a pouch of "Al-gone" haha. |
Re: New 75 gallon Quote:
Hmmm you said you used a cycling chemical. i wouldnt of recommended that! Those do help cycle the tank but once it wear's off so does the beneficial bacteria and than you are at stage 1 again with the bacteria. I would have just kept the tank running with the gravel and the filter media that would have done the trick. since your not going the fishless way I would buy a couple zebra danios ( they are hardy fish ) and that will help with the cycling process also. Those are just some thoughs :D Nick |
Lookin' good !! :blueyay: :redyay: :greenyay: |
I dont know if I stated it but You should be fine because you have the good media from an established tank in there. there was really no need for the chemicals :P |
Yeah...I probably shouldn't have bothered with the biospira...guess I've always wanted to try it out, in case the gravel and filter colonies died off when I brought the tank home and finally put water in. I don't know how long the bacteria can live for without water. |

LIVE! Little Dragon's SA Tour
On the surface the quiet port city of Gothenburg doesn't
seem like it would harbour much soul music but the dreamy rhythmical shifting
moody creature that is Little Dragon is one of the most interesting, and
inspiring, sounds to drift over the Atlantic to our shores. As part two of the Adidas
Originals Live Performances Series brought to you by We-are-awesome Events, the
Swedish electro-soul foursome will be performing in Cape Town on 31 of August
at The Old Biscuit Mill and Johannesburg on 1 September at MOAD 2012. Close
friends since high school, Yukimi Nagano, Fredrik Wallin, Håkan Wirenstrand and
Erik Bodin have been making music together for most of their lives. In the
years since, many industry heavies have recognized the fire. They've earned
fans in Gorillaz (whose 2010 LP Plastic Beach includes two songs written and
performed with Little Dragon), Raphael Saadiq (who invited Nagano to sing on
his new Stone Rollin' album), Erykah Badu (who calls the band "one of my
favourites"), DJ Shadow and US heavyweight Big Boi. And it seems that the
rest of the world is starting to catch on to what tastemakers have known for
years. All ticket bookings through Webtickets (www.webtickets.co.za) Check out Little Dragon's music videos HERE!

From painting contractor to chef and restaurant owner, including recently being named the James Beard 2011 Best Chef Northwest. That is the life of Andy Ricker, one of Portland's hottest chefs and while I visited Portland, I was able to meet him and dine at two of his restaurants. Based on my experiences, the kudos are well deserved.
While working as a painter, Chef Ricker vacationed in Thailand a few times, eventually becoming enamored with its cuisine. He decided to start studying cooking, wanting to replicate the Thai dishes he had enjoyed. But, the primary difficulty was that some Thai ingredients were not available to him, and substitutes often were lacking, not providing the proper flavors he desired. But rather than give up, he decided to keep it simple, relying on those Asian ingredients which he could readily source.
In 2005, Andy started Pok Pok, basically a small Thai take-out shack, located just outside his home. It quickly became very popular and because of the increased demand, Andy eventually had to expand, and now Pok Pok is located inside a different house. It has both inside and outside seating, and still is reminiscent of a family backyard barbecue. As the years have passed, Andy has added other restaurants to his growing culinary empire, including Whiskey Lounge and Ping. Yet Pok Pok still remains the crowning jewel.
Dewey, of SakeOne, took me out to lunch at Pok Pok, and the restaurant has the the feel to me of a New England clam shack. It once was an actual house and it feels like the outside picnic tables have been set up in the driveway and front yard. Such a homey ambiance, and as the weather was beautiful that day, we chose to sit outside at one of the wooden picnic tables. Pok Pok serves primarily Thai food, though there are a few dishes from other parts of Southeast Asia. You won't find common dishes like Pad Thai on the menu but there is plenty to entice even finicky diners.
Pok Pok serves lunch and dinner, and the menus are fairly similar though the lunch menu is a bit smaller. The menus are separated into four sections, with the same three on both menus: Aahaan Phiseht (house specialties), Aahaan Kap Khao (Food with rice as part of a shared meal) and Aahaan Yaang (charcoal grilled specialties). On the lunch menu there is also Aaahaan Jaan Diaw (one plate meals) and on the dinner menu, Kuaytiaw (noodle dishes). There are many enticing choices, and it was difficult for me to determine which dish I wanted to order. Prices are reasonable with lunch prices generally ranging $9-$12.50 and dinner prices from $9-$14.50.
One of their most popular items, and which everyone seems to rave about, is Ike's Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings ($12.50). Ike is a daytime cook at Pok Pok. The wings are marinated in fish sauce and palm sugar, deep fried, and tossed with caramelized Phu Quoc fish sauce and garlic. We chose to order our wings spicy, and when they arrived they were a vision of poultry beauty, such a nice brown caramelization on the skin and the scent of them was quite alluring. From an aesthetic perspective, this was a compelling dish. The visual promise made good in the taste, such a rich umami driven flavor combined with crispy skin, spicy heat and tender, moist meat which slid off the bones. It was easy to comprehend the addictive popularity of these wings and I eagerly devoured several of them.
I should note that there is no need to fear the "fish sauce." It does not really add a fishy taste to the dish, but rather raises its level of umami, its savoriness. Phu Quoc is also considered by many to be the king of fish sauces, the best of the best. It is actually a versatile sauce, and really elevates the quality of these chicken wings. Maybe more chefs should start considering it as an ingredient in their dishes.
For my main entree, I chose the Khao Muu Daeng/Muu Krob ($9.50), jasmine rice topped by house-made Chinese BBQ red pork and crispy pork belly with a sesame "gravy." Another excellent dish, with very flavorful and tender meat and an interesting sauce that paired well with the pork. The crispy pork belly was especially tasty, adding a nice crunchy texture to the silky meat and fat. Certainly a good choice for all pork lovers.
We also had a side of Grilled Corn with salty coconut milk, one of the Specials that day. It was good but not a standout like the other two dishes. To drink, I had a couple of their unique drinking vinegars, where fruit is macerated in vinegar and soda water is later added. The Pineapple was my favorite, and they can be partially thought of as a lightly carbonated fruit juice, low in sweetness and with a slight tartness to them. You don't think of vinegar while sipping it, and they are very refreshing. They certainly would make a nice addition to cocktails, and as they seem only mildly sweet, would not make the cocktail overly so.
My visit impressed me, and when I return to Portland I will definitely come back to Pok Pok. I need to have those wings again! But I soon may not need to travel across country for those wings. I recently learned that Chef Ricker plans to open a chicken wing shack in New York City, and it might open later this year. The menu will be small, mostly wings and some sides, plus they will serve the drinking vinegars. Great news for those on the East Coast.
As part of the Travel Oregon press trip, I dined the first night at one of Chef Ricker's newer restaurants, Ping and also got to meet the chef as well. I actually had my choice of a few restaurants that evening, but after perusing Ping's menu, and reading a bit about it, it seemed like the most interesting restaurant to me so I opted for it. "Ping" in Thai means "toast" or "grill," and they do have numerous grilled skewers on their menu. With Ping, Chef Ricker wanted to create a neighborhood place, a place to bring people together. The menu has dishes from many different Southeast Asian countries, but is not a fusion place and all of the dishes have specific origins. They also try to use as much local produce as possible.
They serve lunch and dinner, including lots of small plates and bar snacks, making this a restaurant where you can easily share with your dining companions, and thus get to try a wide variety of dishes. Prices are very reasonable, and there is only a single dish over $14. On the menu, you will find Grilled Skewers, Steamed dishes, Fried dishes, Boiled dishes, Noodle dishes, Salads, Snacks and Sides. They carry the drinking vinegars like Pok Pok, and use them as well in numerous cocktails. Plus they carry a fair number of shochus and even a few sakes.
It is a casual place with an eclectic and fun ambiance. On one back wall, there are numerous old radios, which were salvaged from a radio repair shop that used to be located next door. You can sit at the counter and watch them prepare your food, or choose one of the tables, to be closer to all your friends.
We had a set menu for the evening, a selection of chef chosen dishes from their dinner menu. The evening began with Quail Egg Skewers, local quail eggs wrapped in Carlton Farms bacon with spicy mayo. A pleasant start to the meal, with the salt of the bacon contrasting nicely with the slight heat of the mayo.
The Vietnamese Style Short Ribs are marinated in fish sauce, lemongrass and garlic & served with scallion oil. The meat was tender and the sauce raised the umami level, with the addition of some delicious garlic notes.
The Cucumber Relish has cucumbers, shallots and chilies in a sweet vinegar dressing, and there was plenty of heat in this dish. But the crisp cucumber and slight sweetness of the dressing helped to counter the spiciness and I felt this was a simple, but very well executed dish. An addictive side dish.
The next dish was equally as simple, but also quite tasty. The Ju Pa Bao is a Macanese style pork chop bun, which uses a Tails & Trottters pork loin chop, in pork fat, and served on a soft roll. What a delicious sandwich, with flavorful and tender pork on a very fresh roll. Served naked as it was, it needed no additional condiments to make it delicious. It stood on its own and shined forth. Pure porcine pleasure.
We then moved on to a light dish, the Poisson Cru, which is a Tahitian style ceviche with local rock fish, onions, carrots, thai chili, cucumber, tomato and coconut milk. Fresh, crisp vegetables with a creamy dressing and flaky fish.
Then the giant arrived, the Kha Muu Thawt. This is a deep fried Carlton Farms pork shank, Thai German style, with stewed mustard greens and sour chili dipping sauce. This is one of their few fusion dishes and it is exceptional. The shank was cooked perfectly, with a very crisp, thick skin, atop a layer of silky fat and covering the juicy meat that easily came off the bone. The skin alone would have satisfied me, but the combination of it all was carnivore heaven. This was quite a large hunk of meat and a dish I would highly recommend.
For dessert, I had Serradura with local peaches, a Macanese "sawdust" pudding. It is a condensed milk/whipped cream pudding with ground cookies and holy kakow cocoa powder. By this point, I was fairly well full so was only able to eat a small portion of this, but it was tasty, with a creamy filling.
We had a few drinks paired with our meal, and most of them appealed to me. It was also interesting to see cocktails, rather than wine, paired with several of the courses. We began with a beer, and one which I actually found palatable, the Bridgeport Brewing Summer Squeeze. Bridgeport is supposed to be the oldest brewery in Oregon and this brew is a pale ale flavored with lemongrass and yuzu. It was very light with prominent citrus flavors, and though I didn't love it, it was something I could drink (which says a lot since it is a beer).
Two of their cocktails impressed me though. The Krogstad Cooler is made from Krogstad Aqua Vit (made in Portland), cucumber, lime, triple sec, and celery drinking vinegar. The typical carroway seed flavor of aquavit was very subdued, and this was more a savory and herbal drink, refreshing and bright. The Shochu cocktail had House Spirits Shochu, red potato drinking vinegar, and soda and was a stronger flavored drink, with more earthiness to it. At the end of the night, I also ordered some iced Teh Tarik, a Malaysian "pulled" tea. The "pulling" refers to the pouring process. The unsweetened black iced tea was quite good, with an exotic taste to it, some kind of herb or herbs I couldn't identify.
Like Pok Pok, Ping also gets my recommendation. Neither is your typical American Thai or Southeast Asian restaurant and Chef Ricker should be applauded for bringing these flavors and dishes to Portland. I can't wait for his wings to come to New York City.

One More Reason To Keep Loving You
When I close my eyes is see your brown hair and your brown eyes. I see you beautiful smile, oh yes that smile. I see you freckles that only appear ever so lightly around your nose. One more reason to keep loving you.At night I remember you arms around me gripping tight. I remember how you laid your head on my shoulder. I remember how you tucked me in that night. I remember how you would protect me. One more reason to keep loving you.
Now as I lay here and ponder I hear your words echo in my head. I hear you say "I love you". On more reason to keep loving you.

Am I a good candidate for Invisalign, or should I get traditional braces? (Photo)
I am 16 years old and I would like to have straighter teeth. I've held off on having any procedures done, due to the fact that I play a musical instrument. I didn't want my playing skills to deteriorate due to braces! Now however I think it's time to solve this issue once and for all. Which would be a better fit, Invisalign, or braces? Also, how long would you guys estimate the treatment would last?
Doctor Answers 1
Invisalign has spent a lot of R&D perfecting their production and it is a much better product at treating malocclusions than it was in the past. Your case would be fine to treat with Invisalign! The key is finding an Invisalign experienced orthodontist, an orthodontist who understand maintaining or developing a nice smile arc and wearing your Invisalign retainers 24 1/2 hours everyday. If you will follow those three things you will end up with an excellent result and a smile you will be proud of!

As Joseph Shaw pointed out in my comments yesterday, and as I have had occasion to remark before, Twitter is not the place for reasoned argument or discussion of any subtlety.
However, perhaps surprisingly, it can be a place of prayer.
Yesterday, I was about to end a few minutes time-wasting on Twitter to get on with some more important things (that's not a very big claim...) when I noticed it was mid-day. On a whim - or prompted by my Guardian Angel - I tweeted (@ nobody, just into the ether) the first line of the Angelus, in Latin.
To my surprise and delight I got an instant response, in Latin, from @sitsio. We completed the Angelus in traditional antiphonal fashion, and I left Twitter and got on with other things.
Later that day I was on Twitter again (well, it is the holidays, he pleaded in weak self-defence) when @PartTimePilgrim asked if @sitsio was going to lead the Angelus at 6.00 pm. Somebody had noticed - and not only that, thought it a good enough idea to repeat. The vote was for English that time, and we were joined by several more people, including @AmandaMoll who retweeted the proceedings from a traffic jam on the M25.
So if you are online at midday or 6pm (UK time) look for the #twitterangelus hashtag and join in. If you are up at 6am, you could lead it then!
If you are in a different timezone (colonial press please copy) you could start it there at the appropriate time.
(Hint: it's probably easiest to have typed it out in advance, and copy, paste and send).
There's plenty of acrimony on Twitter, not least with regard to Catholicism: let's inject some prayer there too, and allow the Holy Spirit to renew the face of the earth.

I can't blame him, she's a lovely girl, of that I am only too aware. She wasn't interested in me, fine, I could cope with that. I had stopped chasing, I was even quietly pleased that I had taken a chance, got her number and called her. It hadn't worked out but the world hadn't ended. I felt like I'd moved on.
He went out at the weekend, mentioned in passing that they had met up in a club. I felt a twinge at the time, paranoia or something I subconsciously picked up from him, I don't know which. I was fine with her not wanting me, I wasn't confident that would be the case if she started seeing my housemate and friend.
Midweek he didn't come home, I wondered whether he had been seeing her, tested how it would feel. I wasn't happy but rationalising it, they were both single, there was nothing between us but my unrequited affections, surely if I thought about it was ok, wasn't it?
He told me today, and as it turns out, it wasn't ok. I don't resent either of them but I feel shit. Thoughts flash though my head, 'what's wrong with me?', 'my friends know I liked her and she chose him', 'I risked a little vulnerability and got hurt again'.
Experience seems to tell me not to try, if you don't let your guard down you don't get hurt. That is the lesson I learned throughout my youth, it's been hard to let the shield down, I have hurt people I have cared about because of it. I have made progress in recent years but it still lurks close below the surface.
The problem is I don't want to spend my life alone, I need to take chances, to risk pain. It will pass and next time be less intense. My enemy, in the pursuit of happiness is the sterility of self-containment, it is a false haven, containing it's own melancholy. I guess I wish them well, and in doing so a weight lifts.

Celebrate Accomplishments Large or SmallWhen I first made it through the selection and rigorous training process required of all Bella editors, I couldnt wait until Id been with the website for one year. At the time Id already written and published around a dozen personal experience/self help articles here and there, so I said that after a year of consistently doing this work Id celebrate. Around the six month mark Id get excited thinking about the one year goal. This was also true of months eight and nine. Then a funny thing happened. The one year anniversary came and went yet I hardly noticed it because somewhere along the line, Id changed the goal to 100 articlesor a few weeks shy of two years. Using the paradigm of the higher education system, I reasoned that after two years of reading all of those self help books, interviewing life coaches and learning how to transform my own experiences into lessons every single week Id have earned the metaphorical equivalent of an associates degree in life coach writing. At that point, I promised to congratulate myself. Setting a new goal around the same time or shortly after youve achieved an objective is one antidote to post dream depression, a common malaise which Ill write about in another article, yet this practice can also unfairly reduce the significance of the primary accomplishments youve worked so hard for. This is my 60th article for Bella. In the spirit of Ekhart Tolles teachings in The Power Now, Ive decided to be happy for myself in the present while the goal of 100 articles still serves as an inspiration. In every lifeeven the most ordinarythere are things to celebrate and be proud of. As Im writing this, Im sitting in a waiting room while my daughter (who is six) has a physical therapy session. She was born with a developmental delay and needs PT twice a week. While Im here, I help my other child (an eight year old boy) with his homework or I might referee his play with other children who are also waiting for siblings. In the midst of all of this, I usually manage to read some, scribble a few paragraphs for this column and chat with the other parents. Ive come a long way since I first encountered the PT waiting room. In the beginning, all I could do was pretend to read while I was really watching the clock slowly tick. Now the time goes by too fast and I always leave having accomplished something. When talking about accomplishments, my evenings in the physical therapist's waiting room might not sound like much if youre comparing what I do to Oprahs billions or Hilarys potential run for The Whitehouse, but what Ive learned from writing those 59 other articles is that achievement is in the eye of the beholder. Do you want to celebrate accomplishments on a regular basis? Take one of your large goals, break it up into small parts, create a plan or list, then cross one thing off of the list each day. Finally, congratulate yourself at every step. According positive psychologist, Dr. Martin Seligman, self congratulation is an aspect of savoring and one of the keys to lasting authentic happiness.

Considering Collation: Decoding the Formula
In my last post I shared some of the lessons that I learned in July at Rare Book School at the University of Virginia. Now, as promised, I can explain what some of it means. If you remember, I provided a collation formula of a book from the print collection here at the MHS. Specifically, I gave a description of a book called "Pansebeia." Published in the mid-17th century, this book purported to be a view of "all the world's religions." The formula that I gave read like this:
8°: A8 a8 B-I8 L-R8 T-2M8 2N4 3A8 3a4 3B-3F8 (K8 S8 3F8 missing; 2D6 missing, removed); [$4 (-3A2, 3a4) signed; missigning V4 as U4]; 345 leaves; [32] 1-544 [545-552]; 2[24] 1-78 [79] [misnumbering 68 as 63, 78 as 73, 206 as 106, 479 as 463, and 266 as 96].
So, what does this mean? Well, it might take a while to explain all of this, so let us start simply.
This opening piece of the formula designates the format of the book. This lets us know the relationship between sheets of paper on which the text is printed and the number of individual leaves created when the sheets are folded into gatherings.
In determining the format of a book it is not sufficient to simply count the number of leaves in a gathering. There must be some other physical evidence to base it on. This is where watermarks and chainlines come in handy. A watermark is a symbol created by the papermaker to show that the hand-made product is his. The marks always appear on the same part of the sheet since it was actually a part of the frame used to create the paper. So, when folding a sheet of paper a certain number of times, the watermark will always appear in the same orientation, whether it is in the center of the page in a folio, in the center of the gutter of a quarto, or in the top of the gutter for an octavo. The chainlines in the paper are created by wires used in the paper-making frame that are slightly thinner than the rest of the sheet and are clearly visible when backlit. These lines will either appear vertically or horizontally in a book depending on the folds of the paper. So, using these identifying marks and seeing how they are aligned, we can establish the format of the book.
Specifically, this symbol refers to an octavo format; it can also be written 8vo. This means that the printer, when impressing sheets of paper with the text for the work, laid eight pages of text on each side of a sheet of paper in a designated pattern. The sheet is then folded three times, each time it is folded on the long edge of the sheet. What results is a gathering of eight leaves and sixteen pages.
Stay tuned for my next blog when I provide a little bit of information relating to signatures.
And since we are nearing Halloween, I leave you with a bibliographic description of "The doctrine of devils," another title from the MHS print collection. Can you decipher any of the formula?
8°: A4 B-O8; [$4 (-A3,4) signed; missigning I4 as I3]; 108 leaves; pp. [8] 1-205 [3].

Spinach ricotta gnocchi! Italian dumplings made with ricotta cheese, spinach, flour, and egg, served with a tomato goat cheese sauce.
- 3 ounces fresh or frozen spinach
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 pounds whole milk ricotta cheese, drained of excess moisture
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (or whole tomatoes that you shred as you add to the pan)
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- Salt
- 2 ounces goat cheese
1 Blanch spinach and squeeze out excess moisture: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and heat until simmering. Add spinach and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Drain.
Let spinach cool enough to touch, then squeeze as much moisture as you can out of it. You can also use a potato ricer if you have one to squeeze the excess moisture out of the spinach.
2 Make the gnocchi dough: Add the spinach, egg, salt, and half of the ricotta to a food processor. Pulse until completely blended.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl, mix in the remaining ricotta and the Parmesan cheese. Stir a pinch of nutmeg into the flour.
Add the flour in by hand, starting with a half of the flour. Mix everything with your hands until the mixture holds together as a dough.
3 Knead the dough: Put the dough out on a lightly floured smooth, clean surface. Knead lightly for about a minute, adding additional flour if needed, if the dough sticks too easily to the board or your hands. (At this point, if you wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for an hour, it will be easier to roll out.)
When the dough is smooth and pliable, and still just a little bit sticky, divide it into 4 portions, each the size of an orange.
4 Roll dough out into long ropes, cut into pieces: Flour your hands lightly. Using both hands, and a light touch, roll the dough out with a back and forth motion, starting at the center and stretching the dough out, to form a roll.
This is the tricky part. You don't want to put so much pressure so that you compress the dough, but you do need enough pressure to create a rope of dough.
The trick is to stretch the dough sideways as you are rolling. Once the segment you are working on gets to be about a foot long, you may find it easier to cut it in half, and then start working on that smaller segment.
Roll the dough out until the roll is about the size of a middle finger. (Note that if your hands or the board is a little too floured, you may not have enough traction between your skin and the dough to easily stretch it sideways.) Cut each roll into 1-inch pieces.
5 Create indentations with a fork: Hold a fork at a 45% angle with its tines facing down on the work board, the curved part of the fork facing away from you. Starting with the curved outside bottom of the fork, press each piece of dough up along the length of the tines. Let the gnocchi fall back down.
This is a pretty quick motion, the result is an indentation of the fork tines on one side of the gnocchi, and an indentation of your fingertip on the other side.
Place the gnocchi on a lightly floured cookie sheet. At this point they can be cooked, or kept in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.
6 Cook the gnocchi in boiling water: To cook the gnocchi, fill a large wide pot half-way with water. Bring to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt for every quart of water.
Once the salt has dissolved, gently drop the gnocchi in the water, one by one. Try to do this in a way that the gnocchi are not falling in on top of each other, but rest on the bottom of the pan in a single layer.
As the gnocchi cooks, they will rise to the surface of the water after a couple minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the risen gnocchi from the pot, place in a serving bowl.
Sometimes the gnocchi can stick a little at the bottom. If you suspect this, nudge them a little to unstick them. As you remove some gnocchi, you can add a few more to the pan.
The Sauce
1 While you are cooking the gnocchi, make the sauce. Heat oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Remove and discard the garlic.
Add the tomatoes (include any juices from the can) all at once (careful, they may cause the oil to splatter as the tomatoes hit the pan). As soon as the mixture boils, reduce the heat to low and let simmer, uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt. Stir occasionally. Use a potato masher to break up any solid pieces of tomato, you want a rough purée.
2 Once the sauce reduces to a medium thick consistency, add the goat cheese, stirring until it is well blended. Add more salt to taste.
Serve gnocchi with the sauce and extra grated Parmesan.

In Reply to: I've racked my brain... posted by lipmanl on March 5, 2007 at 14:08:12:
do you have any idea of what the grid impedance is of the tube in question (pick a tube) at 0V bias? Unless i'm reading you wrong your thought is to match that impedance to the load your cartridge wants thus killing two birds with one stone.I have been thinking about this too. I have actually one as far as thinking about an A2 input tube where the grid current biases the core of the SUT.
sure he whole thing would have to be tuned to a specific combination, but for some reason i think something magical could happen with this approach.

Islamabad: Seven members of a pro-government militia were abducted and killed by militants in northwest Pakistan while five persons were injured in an apparent sectarian attack when a bus was ambushed in the restive Kurram tribal region on Tuesday. Seven volunteers of an 'Aman Lashkar' or pro-government militia were abducted and killed by militants in the troubled Khyber tribal region. (Agencies) Latest News from World News Desk

Comment You get what you pay for (not what you expect) (Score 1) 165
You truly get what you pay for. During college I worked on PCs to make some extra $ - hated working on Dells or Gateways... rather annoying boxen.
Into corporate america I go, and I get what I considered a small fortune allocated to buy myself a development laptop. Anything I wanted, as long as it was a Dell :) This was just shy of 3 years ago. I bought a smashing d800 - carried it all over the world, in a backpack, throwning it into and out of the car 5 days a week.
The video card smoked on it at 2 yrs - had a tech at my desk at the office 36 hours later putting a new one in.
Nearing the end of warranty, I called support. Again, you get what you pay for, and what had been purchased was the 3 year gold warranty with full accidental damage coverage. After I went through the littany of things that were worn out (not broken, just USED) with the tech on the phone (I was on hold for 30 seconds - the Gold queues are short), he said it was cheaper for Dell to just replace the machine. How nice - a new d820 was shipped a few days later that is faster/bigger in all respects to the previous machine. Fully covered under warranty. How much was this warranty? $300.
I recently bought another Dell - M90 - top of the line mobile workstation, with the warranty that I had on the previous machine. You can't get close to it's specs from any manufacture out there without giving them $2k more than I paid - and the machine is fabulous - with no pre-loaded crapware - they don't do so much of that on an engineering machine.
Long story short - you get what you pay for. Pay $300 for a machine you get a $300 machine. get the cheapest/standard warranty you get 2 hour hold times - what do you expect? As a previous poster mentioned, I don't have the time to build a machine, and build your own laptop is hard... for the money I have a great machine and a stellar warranty that I've seen in action.
I used to hate Dell - now not so much :)

Greening Lives: Around the Corner and Around the World
"Botanical gardens are more than places to visit, botanical gardens are treasures."
Margaret Falk
Associate Vice President for Landscape, Gardens, and Living Collections
The beautiful 250-acre oasis in the middle of New York City has been a favorite retreat for New Yorkers and visitors since the 1890s. Margaret and her team always illuminate the beauty and importance of nature in our lives.
"The New York Botanical Garden's Native Forest is the largest remnant old- growth forest left in New York City today."
Jessica Arcate-Schuler
Manager of the Forest
This 50-acre tract is a worldwide resource for those interested in studying the impacts of an urban environment and the changing climate on forested ecosystems. Jessica is leading staff and volunteers as they work to ensure the Forest remains healthy and resilient in the face of environmental change.
"So many kids don't have a forest in their backyard, don't have wetlands to explore."
Jamie Boyer, Ph.D.
Director of Children's Education
Educating children about plants and their importance to all life on Earth is the first step in shaping the environmental leaders of the future. The Garden provides a natural classroom where their knowledge of and respect for the plant kingdom is fostered and expanded.
"Green spaces are being seen as part of a comprehensive solution to address economic disparities and to build more sustainable communities."
Ursula Chanse
Director of Bronx Green-Up
Bronx Green-Up has played an important role in creating 300 community gardens and urban farms and training thousands of New Yorkers to garden successfully in those satellite places. Given the environmental sustainability concerns and the obesity epidemic, BGU has been a vital force for improvement of urban sustainability and public health in our community.
"I see people from the really little kids all the way up to the older generations enjoy this space. One flower has the ability to bring smiles to so many people."
Peter Kukielski
Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden Curator
The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden is one of the most diverse of its kind in America, now featuring 3,511 plants of 567 varieties. Peter has transformed the Rose Garden into one of the world's most environmentally friendly rose gardens, decreasing its chemical dependence and celebrating the addition of more than 1,700 new, hardy disease- and drought-resistant varieties.
"In a time of rapid global change, humankind's ability to maintain secure and healthy lives in clean environments is increasingly uncertain."
Michael Balick, Ph.D.
Vice President for Botanical Science
Director and Philecology Curator, Institute of Economic Botany
Michael leads the Garden's Institute of Economic Botany, studying the inextricable relationship between plants and people, lives and cultures. With other scientists and collaborators, he works worldwide to document indigenous plant knowledge, understand the environmental effects of traditional management systems, and develop sustainable use.

It has been over a month now. My mother passed away on March 28th. I feel like I had a good chance to say goodbye to her and I am grateful for that. Even before she passed I missed her, but having her really be gone is a different thing entirely. I am comforted in the confidence that I feel that I will see her again. Still, it hurts.
Back in Bangalore, I am picking up the pieces of my life here. The house hunting resumed as we have to vacate this house. Really we are glad to as we have grown tired of the never ending leaks, too-close construction noise and hassles. The good news is that we did find a new house, just-right size (felt like Goldilocks looking at houses, most far too big, or small!), nice open kitchen with lots of counter space for Maya, a garden that is a usable size. We couldn't be happier! Other aspects of my life are slowly coming back as well, though it is a sad thing that so many friends have left or will soon be leaving Bangalore. I have to edit the contact list in my phone again. Still, I am not entirely alone and I am getting back into the swing of things. But normal, after what I have experienced in the last 5 months, is different. I am changed.
Somehow going through something like this adds a depth to your life, another dimension and perspective, you can no longer "fit" into your previous self. I am still processing what all of this means to me, still discovering who I have become really. I have had days filled with tears, I have had moments when I wanted nothing more to do with the world, but I am now at a place of equilibrium. For the moment at least, I am okay. I take comfort in knowing that life goes on, that there are celebrations to be had and friends and family to enjoy them with. That is the good stuff of life.

Shaggy on Memorial Day Weekend: "Alcohol's Involved, Law Enforcement Might Overreact, It's a Disaster Recipe"
Shaggy gets around.
You might see him eating teriyaki chicken on South Beach. Or hitting the stage in Eastern Europe. Or headlining a show at the Olympic Games. But this weekend, he'll be in Downtown Miami at Bicentennial Park for the Best Of The Best fest, partying, picking up chicks, and avoiding the hectic scene across the bridge.
We here at Crossfade just got off the phone with the Shag man. And here's what he had to say about living on the road, staying out of the madness, and the finest girls in the world.
Crossfade: Wasup, dude. How's it goin'?

Shaggy: Not bad at all, boy.
Is it true you live in Miami?
Nah, I have a home here. But I live on the road.
How long have you had a home here?
Probably around 4 years now. But my son is also living in Coral Springs, so I have another home up there.
What's your touring schedule like?
After Best of The Best, I go to New Zealand, and then South Africa, and I just got back from Colombia, and before that Sri Lanka. So I just keep it moving.
What can you say about Best of the Best?
That's kind of a special concert for me 'cause I kind of instrumental in the inaugural one. And now it's the event for the Memorial Day weekend in Miami. I known [Hot 97 DJ and BOTB host] Jabba for years. And we cool, that's my dawg, so it's all good. He helped build this thing. And now it's huge. So yeah, it's a good look.
Where do you party at?
All different places, from Mansion to the new hot spot, Bamboo. So it's different places I go. I also like the restaurant Shoji Sushi.
What do you think about South Beach for Memorial Day weekend?
That's a very hectic and crazy scene. You gotta want that in order to enjoy that. I like it when it's not as crowded. But I understand it's a money weekend.
You think it ever gets out of control?
I know there were a couple incidents last time when it get out of hand -- people getting shot. Of course, they gonna tighten up till people start behavin'.
You don't think maybe the police need to start behaving too?
When you have that mass of people come into town and alcohol is involved, you might find the law enforcement get fatigued and overreact, it's a disaster recipe.
What else you got going on?
I'm doing the official Olympic song for Jamaica and the Jamaican 68th year of independence. I'll be representing Jamaica and performing in London for the 2012 Olympics.
How's Bolt gonna do?
I think Bolt will do well. But apart from him, we have a very strong team. I think our team is very ready and they're all lining up for the world stage. The track and field team is great. The long jump too. Jamaica is a small country, I know a lot of the athletes personally, and I know that they're training, and it's intense, and they're geared up for it. You're gonna see some breakout stars.
What about The Heat?
I wanna see Lebron get a ring. He's worked really hard for it.
Do you like to drink, how do you relax?
Not much of a drinker, I stay away from the alcohol most of the time. Just eat healthy food, y'know. And make a lot of love.
What about weed?
Nah, not big on the weed-smoking either. Those days are past. That's my used-to-be days.
Where are the sexiest women in the world?
Colombia had beautiful women, of course. Curaçao, beautiful women. Poland got beautiful women. Prague is always good. Brazil is always good. But Miami got beautiful women. Can't count Miami out, y'know what I mean.
The pussy is so good in Colombia it even had the secret service fucked up.
Yeah, they gotta be more careful goin' out there. Gotta remember your job first. Never put that above your job.

This image, according to CNN iReport contributor Matthew Dishler, shows three white students at New York state's Waverly High School wearing blackface during a skit at the school's homecoming pep rally:
Three white students were to perform a skit in black face, depicting Chris Brown and Rhianna [sic] most notibly [sic]. In this skit they would display acts of domestic violence as satire to an audience that included not only students but parents, faculty, and various members of the media and community leaders. None of them stopped the skit.
The story, published early Monday morning, has stirred up plenty of conversation in the Waverly community. Students and alumni have shown support and shame. But more often than not, the response seems to be defensive.
Apparently, this is not the first blackface sketch in Waverly — a village with a 97 percent white population, according to the 2010 census.

If you are a regular on Rajdhani or Shatabdi trains, you could have fewer items on your plate soon.
With a goal to make business profitable for caterers who have been reluctant to bid for the service, railway officials are planning to offer a leaner menu. On these trains, food costs are included in the ticket price.
Catering firms pay 15% of food revenues to the railways as licence fee.
Railways minister Pawan Kumar Bansal is likely provide details about food served on these trains in his upcoming budget speech.
Tariffs for Shatabdi and Rajdhani trains have remained unchanged since July 1, 1999.

Sun Life Stadium sprinklers go off in middle of Seahawks-Dolphins game
Someone in Miami is apparently taking Buffalo Wild Wings commercials a little too seriously. In the middle of the Dolphins win over the Seahawks on Sunday, the sprinklers at Sun Life Stadium randomly activated and began soaking everyone on the field.
Why did this happen? After all, it's not like the Dolphins are getting beat that bad. Sure the Seahawks have marched down the field twice for long, back-breaking touchdowns. But 14-7 deficit isn't necessarily worth trying to derail the game by activating the sprinklers.
Maybe, as CBSSports.com's Matt Norlander suggested, the field is a living, breathing thing that's angry about the Dolphins' recent run.
The field is finally fighting back against the insult that is Miami Dolphins football.
— Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) November 25, 2012
Whatever the cause, maybe the Dolphins should do it more often, because a fairly boring game quickly became awesome. Well played, B-Dubs.
We are really into this Miami/Seattle game. Hit the sprinkler button a little early, though. #oops.
