Giants Bounce Back With Rhinos Rout
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Thu 27th Apr 2017 9:56 PM
The Huddersfield Giants arrived at Headingley still stunned and saddened after the sudden death yesterday of Jennifer Davy, the wife of Giants chairman Ken. As a tribute the Giants team wore warm up tops beating the initial 'JD', and black armbands throughout the game.
The Leeds Rhinos were seeking to return to top spot, two points clear of near neighbours Castleford Tigers ahead of their home game against the Wigan Warriors on Sunday. Huddersfield Giants had a chance of going tenth, jumping above Leigh Centurions.
Both sides made six changes from the sides who had mixed fortunes in last weekends Challenge Cup fixtures. The Rhinos were on the back of a big win over Doncaster on Friday night but the Giants crashed out against the Swinton Lions on Sunday.

'Fax Ease Past 'Haven
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Sun 23rd Apr 2017 4:54 PM
The Championship's fifth placed side Halifax made the 300 mile round trip to the north west to take on Championship One's fifth placed site Whitehaven in the fifth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup. Both sides were in good form with five wins in their last six outings.
A sunny Recreation Ground was the venue for what looked, on paper, like a foregone conclusion but with Super League's Huddersfield Giants having lost out earlier in the day to lowly Swinton, and Hull KR taking down Leigh Centurions yesterday, there is no such thing in the cup.

Vikings Grind Out Saints Win
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Fri 21st Apr 2017 9:54 PM
Eighth placed St Helens travelled to bottom club Widnes Vikings with their eyes on sixth spot as they look to continue their improved run of form since sacking coach Cunningham. A win for the Vikings would still see them finish the weekend in bottom spot, but would give them a much needed confidence boost.
Widnes have still got all sorts of injury problems and were now without the services of Armstrong, White and Craven but they did welcome back a handful of others including Hanbury, and half-back pairing Mellor and Gilmore. Saints were not without their own problems and would take the field without Lomax, Roby and Morgan but could call on the services of Kyle Amor who escaped a suspension after his sending off against Wigan on Good Friday.

Dynamic Dragons Demolish the Disappointing Devils
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Mon 17th Apr 2017 7:03 PM
With Castleford Tigers having just gone down at St Helens, the Red Devil's had a chance to join the Tigers and the Rhinos at the top of the table on sixteen points. A win for the Dragons would take them above Wakefield Trinity into sixth spot in the table as they continue to seek some consistency in their form.
It was a glorious evening in the south of France and the Red Devil's were taking things seriously, arriving yesterday to give themselves plenty of preparation time as they looked for their eighth win of the season in their quest for a top four spot.

Second Easter Win for Warriors
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Mon 17th Apr 2017 4:47 PM
Last time Wigan visited the home of Wakefield Trinity they left having suffered a 62-0 hiding. Today it was a Warriors side in fourth place against sixth placed Trinity but with just a single league point between the sides there was little to choose between them on paper.
The visitors were the favourites with the bookies as a result of the way that the sides performed on Good Friday. The Warriors were fresh off the back of a win over Saints while Trinity put up some resistance but lost out at the Castleford Tigers.

Crusaders Slaughtered By Hungry Wolfpack
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Fri 14th Apr 2017 6:50 PM
The Easter weekends lambs to the Toronto Wolfpack slaughter were the North Wales Crusaders as the league's newest side visited Wrexham.
The Wolfpack gave debuts to new signings Ryan Bailey and Sean Penkywicz, both seasoned professionals adding yet another dimension to a strong Toronto squad.
With Toronto developing a Super League side but playing on Championship One they interest was not whether they would win, but against another side or part-timers it was by how many.

A Good Friday for the Tigers
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Fri 14th Apr 2017 4:28 PM
Would Wakefield Trinity halt the all-conquering Castleford Tigers as they travelled to the Mend-a-Hose Jungle for a top six clash with the league leaders. With Salford and Leeds playing later the day, the home side were looking to go four points clear at the top, but the visitors had a chance of finishing round nine in second place if they could get the win.
The big question on everyones lips was whether a resurgent Trinity would have the defence and fire power to halt the Tigers charge for the minor premiership and ultimately Old Trafford. Just to add to the interest the two teams were also playing for the Adam Watene Trophy.

Derby Day Win for Warriors Over Twelve Man Saints
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Fri 14th Apr 2017 2:09 PM
The biggest derby in the game, Wigan Warriors against St Helens, had the added spice of a mid-week managerial sacking as Saints parted company with Kieron Cunningham after twenty-three years of service. Eighth placed Saints would go level on points with the Warriors if they could get a win at the DW Stadium but the home side themselves had their eyes on fourth spot.
The Warriors welcomed back captain Sean O'Loughlin and Michael McIlorum returned just over twelve months after breaking his ankle. The new coaching staff at Saints gave a debut to exciting winger Regan Grace, and Matty Smith made his first return to his old stomping ground.

Wolves Hang On for First Away Win At Widnes
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Thu 13th Apr 2017 10:02 PM
It could only be described as a basement clash as Super League's two lowliest clubs went head to head at the Halton Stadium. Warrington Wolves were looking to build on last weekends win over the Leeds Rhinos as they visited a Widnes Vikings side coming into the game of the back of a hiding at Wakefield.
It had the promise of a low scoring affair as the league's two worst attacks were looking to improve on their average of just fifteen points a game. The prize at the end of the night would be eleventh spot, not what either of these sides would have expected to be scrapping over at the start of the season.

Dragons Overcome Giants Challenge
Posted by RLFANS News Hound on Wed 12th Apr 2017 9:57 PM
The John Smith's Stadium was the venue for a Wednesday night round nine fixture between tenth placed Huddersfield Giants, and eighth placed Catalans Dragons. Both sides have had disappointing starts to the season and were on an increasingly desperate points trail, and looking to start the Easter period with a win.
Huddersfield gave a debut to full back Jake Mamo, while the Dragons named Tony Gigot in the same position for the second game of the season after his two year suspension was reduced to three months.

Why I Got Stopped at the UK Border
For everyone who has asked for the full story of how I was detained and denied entry at the UK border last year:
My plan had been to make a video telling the whole story after I got back from this month's "You're Damn Well Gonna Let Me In This Time" return tour, but with everything else going on now I feel like that would be self-indulgent. So I'm excerpting the account here from University of York's excellent student paper ( http://www.nouse.co.uk/2017/02/15/smooth-talking/ ), along with a snippet from my speech at York where i finally got to close the circle.
I'm grateful beyond words to all the like-minded heads I got to build with at York, University of Salford, and HipHop Ed in London, and I've come home more inspired than ever to get back to doing the work. Or at least figuring out what the heck the work is.
"…He was scheduled to make the trip from New York City to England in order to deliver his lecture to the University on Wednesday 16 November. He explains that according to the law as an expert speaker addressing a university you don't need a Visa, but if you come without one it is up to a subjective assessment of a border agent to assess whether you look like an expert speaker. Jay says that his speakers agency sends people to England regularly and have no problems getting through, however, he believes it is because unlike him they are "well to do, older white people wearing a suit and tie who fit some people's description of an expert."
In contrast to the hoodie and trainers he was wearing at the time before telling them that he was an expert in hip-hop and looking, in Jay's words, "ethnically ambiguous to many people." He continues by saying that he still doesn't know which one of those cues prompted the agent to make her judgement, but she made one very quickly which led to the process of being detained.
When describing what he went through, Jay explains that the border agent was "manipulating the conversation so that I didn't have the chance to state my case and I could have easily gone online and showed her credentials, but she had decided in her mind that I was going to sneak in the country… I don't know what. So I spent a couple of hours being humiliated, having them go through my luggage, look through my wallet and ask why I don't have more money, am I able to support myself financially and mind you I don't have enough money in my wallet because you use a different kind of money here. I didn't know we were going to be shooting a rap video in the corner and make it rain" he addressed the audience eliciting laughter once again.
After a couple of more hours of this, Jay was sent back on a plane to New York which he describes as one of the most humiliating, degrading experiences of his life. He says it was "one of the stark instances I've ever faced, but once I got home and had the opportunity to sit with it I also had to temper that knowledge with a sting that I was getting only the tiniest taste of what immigrants face every day when they come to the border."
Jay is trying to convey a message about humility and privilege. Even as an "ethnically ambiguous" man, he understands that his American privilege kicked in as soon as custody was given to American airlines. Jay says he was immediately given the option of bumping up to first class on the flight back. "That's not going to happen to 99 per cent of people who get turned away at the border, whose lives and futures will be on the line."
Jay describes his experience as humbling, and asks everyone to remember that it is only the tiniest sliver of what so many people go through. He describes the "trauma of being shamed and being treated as less than human" as something that stuck with him for weeks after. "Every time I pulled out my wallet I remember them looking through it, passing their judgement." Jay still emphasises, however, that his experience was not surreal and that it is still normal for millions of refugees for whom the stakes are so much higher than his own. Jay concluded the lecture by saying that he took a vow when he was sent back to America that he would return to speak to the University of York like he had meant to do in November, but this time wearing the document showing his denied entry on a t-shirt, which he showed the audience to a roar of applause…"

Forever In My Life (for Jiun, and P)
I'm at that road.
Some of you will know my partner Jiun Kwon, my best friend and the love of my life, passed away suddenly late last year. And I have not made a video since then.
There's a clarity that comes with loss. A narrowed focus that you hold on to like a lifeline. Your awareness of day-to-day life is stripped to the barest essentials, as the whole of your being goes to one impossible mission: Holding on to your love. Holding on, and trying not to drown.
it's been hard, letting go of that clarity. Every step back into my own life feels like a betrayal. Like I'm letting her disappear. Making it real that she is gone. And returning to my creative work has been the hardest of all.
In those first weeks I kept telling myself I have to honor her by working, by creating, more than ever. And I took solace in that sense of purpose. But whenever I sat down to do it, I just couldn't. Even months after she passed, I would turn on the camera and immediately start weeping. Making these videos has been the most rewarding work of my life. It has been the center of my life for the last ten years. And that means returning to it, now, feels like my final step over the threshold. The final irrevocable step into living a life without her.
And then P____ died. My hero. My fucking bedrock. And as we all struggled to make sense of it, my only light in the tunnel was Prince's own muse, Wendy, telling us "being creative is how you can talk to him. If you're being creative, he will talk to you."
So on P____'s birthday, I let his spirit carry me over the line, and I finally made something. It's something humble, I'm far from a professional singer. But I made it, I stepped over that line. And Jiun was here, closer then ever.
I can't make a timetable for when I'll make more videos after this. I'll be taking it slow, trying to make it fun again. The prospect of grappling with this election season doesn't exactly fill me with joy, but I know Jiun would have SO MUCH to say about a world in which both Donald Trump and Zack Snyder have been allowed to prosper, and I have to pick up that slack. Jiun and I met through our shared love of creative expression, and shared belief in using creativity to make this world what it needs to be. And I know she'll be most present with me when I let myself be fully present, dong what we loved. So I'm gonna try to stay on this side of the line, and hopefully I'll see y'all soon.
[Sadly I have to censor P____'s name because the video would be taken down otherwise.]

How do raspberries grow?
Did you know that Whatcom County is the top producer of raspberries in Washington State? Our state grows over 60% of our country's berries. Farmers grow raspberries on vines. When they ripen, they pick them and take them to market for YOU to buy! Whatcom County raspberry pickers at work. Look at the big picking machine– and how people sort the delicate berries into trays.
Raspberry Nutrition Raspberries belong in the rose family.
Raspberries grow in 4 different colors, although red and black are the most common. (They can also be yellow and purple.) Raspberries are rich in Vitamin C. Raspberries produce more fiber per calorie than any other common fruit– even prunes! According to ancient Greek myth, all raspberries were once white. That was until the day God Jupiter flew into a rage, and the Nymph Ida, to appease him, went and picked some wild raspberries. It seems that while she picked the berries, she pricked her finger on the thorns of the raspberry bush. Legend has it that her blood, from that point on, stained all raspberries a bright red color. Raspberry information: and http://www.joyofbaking.com/Raspberries.html#ixzz1jDP5l43f
Good Preservation But raspberries are ripe in the summer.
How can I eat local raspberries now? Raspberries are GREAT to freeze. Frozen berries are picked at the height of the local season, then quickly frozen and packaged to hold their flavor and nutrition all year. In many cases, frozen produce can surpass the quality of "fresh" shipped produce out of season from other parts of the world. For instance, berries that are grown in South America during our winter are shipped thousands of miles to get to our supermarkets. Often they are picked early so the ripening is off the plant and in controlled shipping containers. Buying and eating locally grown produce uses less gas and special packaging, and may actually feed you more nutrition than "fresh" shipped counterparts. Good Preservation

A six-member central team is probing into the reports that girls were subjected to change sex through a surgery by few doctors here after a section of media published articles about it.
The probe is being conducted on request of Madhya Pradesh government by the central team.
"The central team has begun its probe into the reports of sex of innocent girls being changed into that of boy through a surgery. The probe will continue for two days," joint director, Health, Sharad Pandit told PTI.
The team includes two senior paediatricians from AIIMS, a nursing expert and a legal expert, he said.
The legal expert, Parikshit Sirohi, said that they are probing the reports with different angles and examining seven hospitals of the city and their staff in this regard.
However, local medical fraternity termed the reports as totally false and baseless and added that it is not possible to convert a normal girl into a normal boy through a surgery in the medical science.
Earlier, a team of National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has also conducted a probe in this regard.

Kristina Rose: Food is an experience, and writing lends to it a voice. How did you discover your passion for food writing? How did you break into the food writing industry?
Katharine Shilcutt: I didn't consciously choose to go into food writing, or into writing at all for that matter. It never occurred to me as a kid or even as an adult that I could make a living as a writer; I graduated with a degree in GIS (computer cartography) and worked in human resources for many years, and only wrote for my own satisfaction, as a hobby. Writing and food were always sort of naturally occurring elements in my life, and came together in a sort of holistic manner without much conscious thought on my part. My "break," I guess you could call it, came after I started posting my writing—both food writing and otherwise—on a little blogging platform online for fun. About a year later, I graduated to Wordpress and started feeling comfortable enough sharing my writing with other people that I began posting links to my blog on Twitter. I also mustered the courage to join a group of young writers who were publishing an online-only daily (of sorts) called Houstonist; having that group of peers really helped bolster my confidence in my (still completely untrained) writing. Shortly afterwards, the food critic at the Houston Press, Robb Walsh, read my blog entries, and thought to approach me about writing for the paper on a freelance basis. Not long after, the Press had an open position for a web editor; having a computer-related degree and some work under my belt at both Houstonist and the Press (all thanks to the network of people I got to know after I started writing in earnest) got me the gig. Well, that and the sheer amount of faith placed in me by Margaret Downing, the editor-in-chief, who knew I had no journalism background but was willing to train me up. I owe so much to the Press for helping me get started on a path that I'd never even considered before.
KR: I understand your mother was a chef, and your father was a self-proclaimed pit master. To what extent was your love for food fostered by your parents?
KS: My mother still is a personal chef and my father still is an excellent pitmaster; they both have a deep and abiding passion for food, whether it's coq au vin or pork butt. Food is what we discuss more than any other topic of conversation, it's how we relate to each other, it's how we tell each other about our days or what our weekend plans are going to be. I love food because of its ability to transcend social structures, language, religion, ethnicity, politics, you name it. Food brings people together; food is something everyone can discuss, and an area in which people can most often find common ground. My parents were also keen on introducing me to cuisines and dishes from outside my own culture as a means of broadening my perspective and helping to eliminate that natural "fear of the other" that kids raised in homogenous communities often experience. If you like someone's lebne or samosas it's not at all difficult to continue opening yourself up from there and learn more about them. I think that's one of the greatest lessons food can teach: a respect for and understanding of otherwise "exotic" or foreign cultures, which is ever vital as we progress towards a more global society.
KR: In 2011, you were nominated for the James Beard Award for Best Multimedia Food Feature. Can you tell us more about the nominated piece? Was this something you consciously worked towards, or did the nomination take you by surprise?
KS: Ha! Like everything else, this was unplanned and unexpected. It's a rather long story, but the piece itself came out very differently than I'd originally anticipated. I'm glad it did, however, and it's a testament to my editors' intervention and suggestions that it took another, better path. Listen to your editors, folks: they have your best interests at heart. We entered the piece, Designer Meats, in the multimedia category that year on a whim, not knowing what other sorts of pieces might be submitted in that rather new category. To my enduring surprise, I ended up nominated alongside Andrew Zimmern for his work on Bizarre Foods and a team from the Chicago Reader. I was positive that Zimmern was going to win—I mean, it's Andrew Zimmern—and to my great delight, the Chicago Reader duo won instead. I never got a chance to meet them, but I hope they know I was as excited for their win as I was to have just been nominated and to have gotten the chance to witness the Beard awards firsthand.
KR: Do you find yourself reading other food critics' writing frequently? Do you have food writers who inspire you?
KS: I do and don't. These days, I have a very different role than when I was the food critic at the Press. I handle a lot more than just food, which means my daily reading list is greatly expanded as well. I've stopped reading a great many restaurant reviewers that I once read on a weekly basis simply because of time constraints. But I'm still a huge fan of Bill Addison and Robert Sietsema (both now at Eater), Jonathan Gold at the LA Weekly, Hanna Raskin at the Charleston Post-Courier, the inimitable Pete Wells at the New York Times, and of course our own local reviewers, especially Alison Cook. The critics who seek out unusual experiences and who favor creating a relationship with their readers over stroking chefs' egos are those who appeal most to me.
KR: Outside of restaurant reviews, are you a reader? Do you feel that there is a crossover between fiction and food writing, lessons the two can learn from each other?
KS: Yes. I read far more non-food writing than anything else, though even then it's predominately non-fiction. There are so many beautiful, interesting, captivating, important true-life stories to be told, and in so many different forms, and I feel like a new part of your soul is unlocked each time you read about an experience that differs from your own. Reading can help you be a more thoughtful, compassionate individual, not to mention a more well-educated writer. You can't be a good writer if you aren't a good reader. I think it's as simple as that. You should be constantly learning, constantly seeking new input so you can have fresh output; reading helps prevent mental stagnation and sharpens up your mind. I can't count the number of times I've marveled at how a talented, seriously inspiring writer, like Anne Fadiman, for instance, constructs a narrative or a segue and wondered, How could I apply this to my own writing?
KR: We are looking forward to having you teach the day-long Writespace Food Writing workshop on July 25, which will include a lunch outing to get the food-writing juices flowing. What do you want the workshop participants to leave with—besides a full stomach?
KS: I hope that people will leave with a greater understanding of how writing about food is more than just, well, writing about food. Food is such a significant cultural touchstone and I think there's more to great food writing than just describing dishes or waxing on about the newest chef in town. I think the reason food writing is so popular is because, again, it speaks to something universal in all of us, and I think that food writing deserves that sort of respect from the people who pen it. I also want to discuss the ethics of food writing—something that doesn't come up often enough—as well as the intricate details of writing compelling copy: how to write a lede, how to set a scene, why arbitrary words like "delicious" are often useless, how to interview and work quotes into a piece, etc. All the things I had no idea how to do until the Press got a hold of me...
KR: Every writer gets better with practice. What is a typical rookie food-writing mistake new food critics should avoid? Is there a cardinal rule that a food writer should keep in mind when writing a review?
KS: I think the most basic mistake of food writing is when someone begins writing for the chef/restaurant/bartender/etc. rather than their readership. So much of what food writers do is in service to our readers; I think that can sometimes get all mixed up when young, excited food writers (like I once was!) get wrapped up in a world in which we've fetishized food and elevated chefs to celebrity status. At the end of the day, you're not writing for your interview subjects—and this is true in any journalism vertical—you're writing for your readers. Have you given them the information they need about a restaurant? Is it as unbiased as possible? Did you relate your own experiences truthfully and in their proper context?
KR: "You are what you eat," goes the saying. What dish would you be?
KS: Hahaha, oh man. I eat a lot of yogurt, eggs, cheese and vegetables. When I'm not eating for work, I mostly adhere to a vegetarian diet because it's inexpensive, healthy and sustainable. I sound like the most boring person on earth, I'm sure. But the other night I did binge-eat a bag of my favorite cookies while watching a particularly moving episode of Community (it's the Ass Crack Bandit episode, FYI), so I guess in that instance I'd be a bag of Pepperidge Farm Mint Milanos. At least that's what I'd like to be.

Relying on ZK here is insufficient - the actual protocol itself needs fencing to guarantee that a quorum of loggers have seen the "lost lock" before the new writer starts writing. I agree with your later comments that rolling the edits is a helpful construct here, but you need to also make sure there's consensus on the "active writer" when beginning a new log segment. I'm about halfway done with a prototype implementation of this, I should have something to show by middle of next week. At that point I'll also post a more thorough explanation of the design. > Quorum-based protocol for reading and writing edit logs > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3077 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3077 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: ha, name-node > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > > Currently, one of the weak points of the HA design is that it relies on shared storage such as an NFS filer for the shared edit log. One alternative that has been proposed is to depend on BookKeeper, a ZooKeeper subproject which provides a highly available replicated edit log on commodity hardware. This JIRA is to implement another alternative, based on a quorum commit protocol, integrated more tightly in HDFS and with the requirements driven only by HDFS's needs rather than more generic use cases.

Paleo Tortilla Soup
Whatever else you include, what really makes this dish are the three different tomatoes included: canned and crushed, freshly roasted and sun-dried. They add depth of flavor and texture that makes an otherwise simple soup mighty tasty.
I like to eat mine topped with a little minced cilantro and chopped avocado. If you do dairy at all, a little crumbled goat cheese or queso fresco would be divine. I also like to treat my kids to some homemade crispy tortilla strips, which I make using sprouted and organic corn tortillas. !f you're a paleo purist just ignore this paragraph altogether!
If you like a creamier soup base, you can also stir a little coconut milk into the soup in the last minute or two of the simmering process.
Paleo Tortilla Soup
adapted from 101 Cookbooks
20 small yellow or red cherry tomatoes
olive oil & salt
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large white onion, chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
pinch of stevia (optional)
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
6-8 cups vegetable broth
a few sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
garnishes: lime wedges, minced cilantro, diced avocado
Preheat oven to 350. Halve (or quarter) the tomatoes lengthwise and put them in a small roasting pan, oven proof dish, or rimmed baking sheet. Toss with a bit of olive oil and a pinch or two of salt. Bake in for 40-45 minutes (less time if you use smaller cherry tomatoes), or until the tomatoes are shrunken and golden around the edges. Set aside.
While tomatoes are roasting, heat another glug of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for just one minute. Stir in the spices and then the tomatoes.
Cook down for about five minutes or so, until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat, add one cup of the broth and puree with a hand blender (or puree in a traditional blender). Add the remaining broth and puree until smooth. Bring the soup back up to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes.
Stir chopped sun-dried tomatoes into soup and serve garnished with a squirt of lime juice, minced cilantro and diced avocado.

We've all seen the numbered sticker on the side of fresh fruit. But how many of us actually know the meaning behind it? As it turns out, the four-digit code is pretty important and the source of some valuable information.
Most likely, you've taken a peek at the numbered sticker on the sides of fresh fruit. What you may not know is the four-digit sequence, called a PLU code, is more than just a chance to advertise. The label corresponds to a catalog of important info for producers as well as consumers.
Let's start with the the basics.
The Four-Digit Code
A fruit or vegetable with this particular number sequence was produced using modern agronomic techniques. In simple terms, the healthy snacks were grown with large amounts of fertilizers and pesticides.
Next up: the easy way to recognize genetically modified produce.
The Five-Digit Code Starting with the Number 8
You guessed it- GMO. Fruits and vegetables donning the five-digit code starting with an 'eight' were genetically altered during their growth cycle. Generally, you'll see this type of label on tropical fruits, such as melons, bananas, and papayas.
Moving up the ladder, we stumble upon the 'good stuff.'
A Five-Digit Code Starting with the Number 9
Produce items tied to this code are the creme of the crop, so to speak. They are the organic (and slightly higher priced) fruits and vegetables at the market. Chemical and pesticide free, these food items are 100% natural.
You're probably wondering, "what about the fruits and veggies without a sticker at all?" We're glad you asked.
Fruit with No PLU Code Sticker
Produce items without a PLU sticker are usually imported from various countries. While they don't require a particular code or number, these fruits and veggies should always include an 'imported' label. No sticker at all? Not to worry, they've been known to fall off during transit.

Health Beat: 3D in the operating room
NEW YORK - What do the new hit "Gravity," the blockbuster film "Avatar" and the latest version of "Alice in Wonderland" all have in common with the latest developments in the operating room? The same 3D glasses moviegoers put on for those movies are being used by doctors in the operating room.
"I think it's amazing. I mean to see technology work its miracle on me?" Shantese Wilkinson said.
The miracle is a simple pair of 3D glasses that Wilkinson's surgeon used to remove a tumor from her brain.
"It ultimately would have probably killed her, but it would have blinded her first," said Dr. Mark Eisenberg, chief, department of neurosurgery, LIJ Medical Center and director, Skull Base Center, Cushing Neuroscience Institute, North Shore-LIJ Health System.
Eisenberg opened Wilkinson's skull. An endoscope with a special camera snaked through her nose to her brain.
The new camera sensor is a microchip located at the end of the endoscope. It allows doctors to see on screen, with true depth perception, what the tumor looks like, and precisely where it is. So, they can remove it more accurately, safely, and get more of the tumor out than before.
"Having the knowledge of the anatomy, having the visual cues, and having it in 3D makes it easier to make a safe dissection," said Dr. B. Todd Schaeffer, associate chairman, department of otolaryngology, North Shore University Hospital Manhasset at North Shore LIJ Health System.
Wilkinson's surgery was a success. Now, the recent college graduate is ready for a little reality of her own as she begins her career as an assistant train conductor.
The camera on the endoscope the doctors used is only four millimeters in size. That's about the size of a drinking straw.

Chelsea star David Luiz insists he does not need knee surgery despite playing with pain since being tackled by Sergio Aguero in December.
The defender was on the receiving end of a high challenge from Manchester City striker Aguero at the Etihad Stadium, an incident which earned the Argentina international a straight red card.
David Luiz has played with strapping on his knee since then and had to cope with pain, though the 29-year-old has revealed he will not require surgery on the issue at the end of the campaign.
The centre-back has been left out of Brazil's squad for their World Cup qualifying matches against Uruguay and Paraguay, a blow he will try to turn into a positive by using it to recuperate.
"The international break gives me a good chance to rest my knee," David Luiz said to the Evening Standard. "It is a very good thing for me.
"Only I feel the pain so nobody knows [how hard it has been to cope with].
"I won't need an operation in the summer. But it is very good for me to rest, not just the knee, but the body as well.
"But we have amazing medical staff and they have been great with me. Every single match… they are there for every player. They have helped me a lot."
David Luiz has not played for Brazil in a year but is still hoping to earn a return to selection contention under Tite.
"I am disappointed to not be in the Brazil squad, but I respect the decision," he added.
"I'm playing regularly and trying to do my best to come back [into the squad].
Asked if he has been given an explanation for his continuing exile, he replied: "No."
David Luiz has started 24 of Chelsea's 28 Premier League games this season, with Antonio Conte's men sitting 10 points clear at the top.

Selena Gomez Is Really Into Her Slurpees, Thanks Fans For Their Cyber Hugs
First, hit up a McDonalds. Then, get our hair did and get gas. And finally, we're going to top it all off with a trip to 7-11 where we will get Slurpees. It will be glorious. Especially the Slurpee part, as that seems to be Selena's drink of choice at the moment.
The starlet was spotted in LA yesterday, grabbing her favorite drink just days after thanking her fans on Instagram.
So clearly, she's doing well post-Justin Bieber rehab. Now we just need someone to give her a real hug. I still offer up these 10 guys for her to choose from, although my favorite is still David Henrie.
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Selena and a friend doing drinks. Even in a casual, Wednesday outfit, she's lovely.

Great service! I would recommend Imperial Paarden Eiland anyday!
Overall experience was great. I just love the new motor family that I joined.
As this was my first purchase of my own vehicle, I am completely satisfied and over the moon that I chose such a wonderful branch. The employees at the Paarden Eiland branch make you feel so welcome and always put a smile on my face the minute I walked in. What a lovely crew!! As for everything else, I am happy to say that I received wonderful service and I would like to thank each and every one for assisting me! It is highly appreciated!!
Until next time!! :grinning:

It is still too dangerous to force refugees to return to their homes in Afghanistan, the Human Rights Watch organisation warned yesterday, even as countries including Britain are preparing to send Afghan asylum-seekers home.
HRW's warning was directed at United Nations plans to begin repatriating the 3.5 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan and Iran. That is due to begin this week, and the UN will open centres with food and shelter, each capable of handling 5,000 people a day.
The Independent reported last month that Britain, for the first time since 1978, is considering sending asylum-seekers back to Afghanistan, saying the country is now safe for them. HRW's 45-page report warned that for many people the country is far from safe. "While many Afghan refugees want to go home, there are others who are terrified of returning at this time," Rachael Reilly, refugee policy director at HRW, said. "Ethnically motivated attacks, lawlessness, and fighting between rival warlords remain rampant in some areas."
HRW said it had interviewed many refugees, "including members of various ethnic groups, and women and girls, who fear continuing human rights abuses in Afghanistan".
Some 50,000 refugees have flooded into Pakistan in the past six weeks. There is particular concern for ethnic Pashtuns, who have been attacked in retaliation for deeds of the Pashtun-dominated Taliban.
Researchers said one woman told them: "I am Pashtun and not with the Taliban, but people think I am with them and they will punish me and become angry with me."Reuse content

The Congress has sought a report from its Andhra Pradesh unit on a programme aired by Sakshi TV channel, owned by party MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, which made critical comments about Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party president Sonia Gandhi.
"The party has asked for a report from the state unit. After getting a detailed report the party will look into the matter," Congress spokesman Shakeel Ahmed told IANS.
The programme, telecast Friday and repeated Saturday, blamed Gandhi for the "sorry state of affairs in the Congress" and called Prime Minister Manmohan Singh a "rubber stamp".

Who Is Speaking At The Republican National Convention? The List Is Really Weird
The RNC released the names of speakers for 2016. Who is speaking at the Republican National Convention? Some who made the list may be surprising.
Republicans traveling to Cleveland, Ohio for the July convention can expect to hear from more than 60 speakers. Some of the names on the list are expected: Trump's wife Melania and four of his five kids will give speeches (1o-year-old Barron may be a bit too young to step up to the microphone, but he'll likely be cheering on his dad). Several of Trump's most outspoken supporters will also get time at the podium, including New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
The list also includes some unusual picks, including a professional golfer, the CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and two soap opera stars. Attendees will likely also be interested in hearing from speakers who hesitated to endorse Trump, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. It looks as though the RNC speakers will collaborate to make a strong case for Trump's nomination; but if the campaign so far is any indication, the speeches will be anything but predictable.
Here's the full list of RNC speakers:
Pastor Mark Burns
