It may feel remarkable to a student to have a professor who has won a Pulitzer Prize. And at Princeton University, that experience is not uncommon. Sometimes there are even two Pulitzer Prize winners in the room, as on Feb. 28 when Tracy K. Smith, an assistant professor of creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts, held a public conversation with United States Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey.
About 120 students and University and community members attended the event, part of the Center for African American Studies' Conversation Series, which aims to enrich public discussion on a range of topics including politics, music, literature and the arts.
Seated talk-show style in armchairs on a dais in the book-lined Chancellor Green Rotunda, Trethewey and Smith explored the relationship between public and personal history in poetry. Through readings Trethewey gave from her work, the poets also examined what it means to write about "the difficult places" regarding racism in America.
In his introductory remarks, Wallace Best, professor of religion and African American studies and acting chair of the Center for African American Studies, lauded the work of both poets. Quoting the American writer Langston Hughes, he welcomed to the stage "two 'guiding stars' of the literary world."
Smith, who won the Pulitzer for poetry in 2012 for "Life on Mars," is one of four Pulitzer Prize winners on the writing faculty at Princeton. She opened the conversation by asking Trethewey, the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of English and Creative Writing at Emory University, to elaborate on her aim to write poems immersed in both public and personal history.
A native of Mississippi who won the 2007 Pulitzer for "Native Guard," Trethewey said: "I do try to chart the intersection between our public history — our larger shared history, but also personal history in the way that personal history always is bumping up against that. I am a product of a particular place and its history that I've inherited. I've always been a historical being, always trying to make sense of my place in the world."
Trethewey, whose writing has explored a broad swath of history, from the African American experience in 17th-century Spain to post-Katrina New Orleans, is the 19th U.S. poet laureate (2012-13). In addition to "Native Guard," her poetry collections include "Thrall" (2012), "Bellocq's Ophelia" (2002) and "Domestic Work" (2000). She is also the author of "Beyond Katrina: A Meditation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast" (2010). A memoir is forthcoming this year.
Trethewey's mother was black; her father is white. She said it is by writing about deeply personal experiences — the loss of her mother at a young age and her own "survivor's guilt"; negative remarks made to her as a biracial person, some even by loving family members; and the complex relationship she has with her father, who is also a poet — that validates her goal of moving forward the public conversation about "racial difference, white supremacy and black inferiority."
"It is absolutely necessary to also show how deeply intimate those things are as well," Trethewey said. "It seems to me that the only way to gain the authority to that argument with the nation or with the ways that people continue to think across time and space is to root that argument as an argument within the self as well," Trethewey said.
"And let's face it," Smith said, "that's what makes a poem stick to the page."
At Princeton, Smith teaches intensive poetry workshops limited to 10 students and advises students on their senior theses.
One of Smith's current students, Maggie Zhang, a freshman whose high school English teacher gave her a copy of "Life on Mars" as a graduation gift, said the event helped her see poetry in a new light. "I didn't realize how much of a political impact poetry can also have, and how much it can speak to racial and historical issues. Both Tracy and Natasha are great examples of how poetry can also serve as an influential force in social change.
"I also liked Trethewey's concept that 'geography is fate,' that we are born to have something to talk about and share with the world, simply based on our surroundings," Zhang said.
At the book signing after the event, Tretheway signed Zhang's copies of "Thrall" and "Native Guard."
Mallory Banks, a freshman who took one of Smith's poetry workshops in fall 2012, said that listening to the poets' conversation and participating in Smith's class helped her understand the importance of writing about "those uncomfortable places in life."
She also felt "a special connection" to Trethewey's struggles with race and cultural attitudes. "The feeling of being an 'other,' even within your own family, that Trethewey spoke so personally of, is something that I'd often grappled with," said Banks. "Being an African American from the South, those issues of race are deeply ingrained in our culture."
How did she feel the first day she walked into Smith's class, knowing her instructor was a Pulitzer Prize winner? "Because I was familiar with her work, walking into class on the first day was like meeting a superstar," Banks said.
Another of Smith's students from last fall, sophomore Nshira Turkson, who is pursuing an independent concentration in communications and public policy and is a student journalist for the Center for African American Studies, liked hearing the two poets discuss how "being in the moment" is so important for writers. "I think that balance between being hyper-observational for the sake of poetry and simply enjoying yourself was really covered in today's talk," Turkson said.
She added that Smith's fame never trumped her teaching style in the classroom. "I often forgot how esteemed she is in the literary community because she was so humble in class," Turkson said.
Smith joined the Princeton faculty in 2006. In addition to "Life on Mars," her poetry collections include "Duende" (2007) and "The Body's Question" (2003). She is working on a memoir.
Upcoming poetry events at Princeton University include the Princeton Poetry Festival, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts' Performance Central Series, Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. Poets from around the world will read from their work and hold panel discussions. This year's festival will open with the New Jersey State Finals of Poetry Out Loud, a national poetry performance competition for high school students.
Also, poet, essayist, playwright and teacher Elizabeth Alexander will give the Toni Morrison Lectures at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, April 24 and 25, in McCosh Hall, Room 50.

Born in the same Brooklyn, NY hospital where most of his seven brothers and one sister found their way into the world, Tony Rock was born laughing. He grew up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in New York and developed a natural knack for entertaining.
"On a daily basis I'd see a dozen characters (and I emphasize the word characters). One moment, I'd be fighting for my life. The next minute I'd be laughing hysterically. There's a lot of drama in the city and I took it all in."
Tony has been performing for years and he has gained a reputation as a young star in the making. The Hollywood Reporter recently picked him as one of the hot young talents to come out of New York.
Tony just finished shooting the film "Three Can Play That Game" with Vivica Fox in Atlanta and recently wrapped his fourth season of "All of Us" on the CW, playing the role of Dirk Black. He starred in the films "Life Support" with Queen Latifah, and "Homie Spumoni" with Whoopi Goldberg and Joey Fatone. He is currently featured on the TV screen as the host of TV One's "The Funny Spot".
Tony's stand-up comedy talents were showcased in the recent revival of "Def Comedy Jam" on HBO. He was previously the host of "Can You Tell?" on Oxygen, and a feature reporter on "Battlebots". He's also been featured on Howard Stern, Extra, and Craig Kilborn. Tony can be seen headlining comedy clubs across the country, including Caroline's, the Apollo, the Laugh Factory, and the Comedy Store.

Cleveland sets the gold standard for bus rapid transit (BRT) in the United States, even if it really only achieves bronze status. A Washington, D.C., blog called GreaterGreaterWashington.com points to standards published by the Institute for Transportation & Development Policy that describe minimum characteristics necessary for a bus route to qualify as BRT. Those standards establish three levels of BRT quality: bronze, silver, and gold, scored on a 100-point scale. They include features like off-bus fare collection, high station platforms, and bus frequency. Only five lines in the United States even qualify as true BRTs, GreaterGreaterWashington.com notes, and all rank at the bronze level. "According to ITDP, the best performing BRT systems in the world are Bogota, Colombia and Guangzhou, China, which score 93/100 and 89/100, respectively," notes the blog post, which is written by Dan Malouff, a professional transportation planner for the Arlington County Department of Transportation. They are the gold standard. By comparison, the United States' highest-scoring BRT route is Cleveland's Health Line, which hits bronze with a score of 63. The other 4 bronze BRT lines in the United States are in Eugene, Ore., Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and Las Vegas. The blog post has a theory on why this country doesn't rank higher in BRT capabilities: It isn't that gold standard BRT is impossible in the United States. Certainly it's possible. But it isn't built here because nobody really wants to build it. The same community leaders who choose BRT over rail, because BRT is cheaper, then make the same choice when faced with other potential cost-cutting measures. They eliminate the most expensive features, until the gold standard that was promised isn't actually what's delivered. That sort of feature cutting is called BRT creep, and so far it's happened to some extent on every major BRT project in American history.

Bloomberg examines some of the steps hospitals — including the Cleveland Clinic — are taking as they try to win some of the almost $1 billion in government payments for hospitals with top-ranked service. "Across the U.S., the program is encouraging tidier rooms and quieter hallways at the more than 3,000 hospitals that participate in 'patient experience' surveys," the news service reports. The surveys "are part of a broader shift by the federal government and private insurers to pay doctors and hospitals based on performance rather than numbers of tests and procedures." The Clinic "is using noise meters to make sure hospital corridors are quiet at night and putting doctors through role playing exercises to improve communication with patients," Bloomberg reports. "Nurses are supposed to pop in every hour to ask if patients need anything from pain medication to help going to the bathroom." James Merlino, chief experience officer at the Clinic, tells Bloomberg, "This is not arbitrarily making patients happy, it's about how we practice health care. If you improve the way nurses communicate, medical errors go down. That's a driver of quality." As welcome as those improvements may be, Bloomberg reports, "numerous studies based on earlier attempts to tie bonuses to performance suggest such incentives may do little to improve care." Rewarding hospitals based on patients' experiences "could also have unforeseen repercussions," doctors and economists tells Bloomberg. Such incentives, for example, "may harm patients most in need of care by discouraging hospitals from treating the elderly and the mentally ill, they say."
Sterling won't find this brilliant: The Wall Street Journal reports that a federal judge in Ohio has refused to block Zale Corp. from using an advertising campaign that touts the superior brightness of its diamonds, over the objections of a rival jewelry chain. Sterling Jewelers Inc. of Akron, a unit of Signet Jewelers, last November filed a lawsuit that accused Zale of false advertising in claiming that its Celebration Fire stones are the "most brilliant diamonds in the world." (Sterling "said its tests found that its own diamonds are as glittery as those sold in Zale's," according to The Journal.) The story notes that Sterling "sought a preliminary injunction from the court, which would have required Zale to scrap the multimillion-dollar ad campaign as it headed into the busy Christmas and Valentine's sales seasons." But in denying a preliminary injunction in the case, U.S. District Judge John R. Adams said Sterling had failed to show it would suffer irreparable harm from the advertisements, even if it prevailed at trial, the newspaper reports. Sterling said it would continue to press forward with the lawsuit. A trial date for the case hasn't been set. Soup for you!: The Greenhouse Tavern in Cleveland makes this USA Today list of "10 great places to slurp soup." The list is compiled by Anne Burrell, who hosts two Food Network shows. (And did you know January is National Soup Month? Neither did I.) Ms. Burrell likes Greenhouse Tavern's buttery, cream-based, Ohio black walnut soup, which she says combines two regional products: black walnuts and Ohio smoked pork. It's made from a sage chicken stock and will fill you up, says Mr. Burrell, who calls it "a very rich, hearty, nutty, earthy soup." Coming to a theater near you: A movie filmed in the Cleveland area was one of the breakout hits of the just-completed Sundance Film Festival. "Toy's House" is drawing comparisons to "Stand By Me," "Moonrise Kingdom" and "Napoleon Dynamite." It stars Nick Robinson, a 17-year-old actor who appears on the ABC Family sitcom "Melissa & Joey," as a high school kid who runs away from his dad to live with two quirky pals in the woods in a shack they build together. The Wall Street Journal says the comedy was acquired at Sundance by CBS Films for distribution later this year. "Toy's House" boasts a great supporting cast, including Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Alison Brie and Mary Lynn Rajskub. This Slashfilm.com review is typical of the strong notices the movie received at Sundance. A Plain Dealer story last summer noted that the film was shot over 27 days in Lyndhurst, North Royalton, Peninsula, the South Chagrin Reservation in the Cleveland Metroparks, Happy Days Ledges and Nelson Ledges.

Brilliance - 261
The shimmering veins of copper and swirls of color in Brilliante will add depth and richness to any project. They are magnificent!
In stock
Sold by unit ~25 Pieces
Semi-transparent molten glass mosaic tesserae, enriched with sparkling enamels and aventurina stone. The mixing of two glass colors allows us to achieve the classic veining effect on the surface.
Aventurina is an artificial stone produced by the fusion, at approx. 1200° C, of silica sand, copper and color components. From the seventeenth century this process, previously unknown in its whole, allows glass makers to create new effects in color, producing an adventure in design or "aventurina".
- Format: 3/4" x 3/4" (2 x 2 cm).
- Sheet size: 12 7/16" x 12 7/16" (31.6 x 31.6 cm).
- Brillante is achieved through the fusion of a primary glass that is the one that gives the overall color and a secondary glass (aventurina or enamels) that adds the veining and shading to the primary glass.
- Applications: Wall and floor, residential and commercial*, swimming pools and Spas.
- Using mosaic on a commercial floor is not a problem if the installation is done properly, and it is installed with an Epoxy Adhesive and Grout. Only light commercial.

That's the whole item. Should he have said more?
For links to more commentary on the abysmally bad John Derbyshire piece, go here.
IN THE COMMENTS: Patrick said:
He should have added another line, informing NRO readers that Derbyshire is no longer an NR contributor.Remember when National Review fired Ann Coulter?
UPDATE: Rich Lowry announces that NR has fired Derbyshire. After some nice compliments — "he's a deeply literate, funny, and incisive writer" — and some half-compliments — he's "maddening, outrageous, cranky, and provocative" — Lowry calls the new piece "nasty and indefensible." NR would never have published it, yet the name, National Review, is getting used to inflate its prominence. "Derb is effectively using our name to get more oxygen for views with which we'd never associate ourselves otherwise." Lowry calls the article "so outlandish it constitutes a kind of letter of resignation." Perhaps it is what Derbyshire wanted, and now he's got a powerful send-off.

Pumpkin (or squash) and sweet potatoes are two more ingredients that I find that I think about when planning a holiday dinner and I like to try to include them as often as possible. This year I knew that I would be using some sweet potatoes in the dessert so I wanted to include some pumpkin or squash in the main course. Since I already had some sage for the parmesan and sage roasted turkey and some gorgonzola in the blue cheese green been casserole I got to thinking about this roasted butternut squash and caramelized onion pizza with gorgonzola and crispy fried sage that I had made a while ago and liked so much. I figured I could take all of the ingredients of the pizza and turn it into a really tasty side dish. The recipe that I came up with is a little bit time consuming but pretty straight forward. You start by roasting the butternut squash until it is nice and tender and slightly caramelized and then you slowly caramelize some onions until they have browned and become super sweet. Next you brown some butter and fry some sage until crispy and then toss every thing in the browned butter. The sweet roasted butternut squash and caramelized onions went so well with the tangy blue cheese that was just starting to melt and become even more creamy and good! Overall this ended up being a really tasty side dish that I will be making again.
Roasted Butternut Squash with Caramelized Onions, Gorgonzola and Crispy Fried Sage
- 2 cups butternut squash (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 handful sage leaves
- 1/4 cup gorgonzola dolce (crumbled)
- Toss the butternut squash with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the squash in a preheated 350F/180C oven until tender, about 30-40 minutes and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan.
- Add the onion and cook on low until caramelized, about 40-60 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute for a few minutes and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a pan and let it brown.
- Add the sage leaves and saute until crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add everything to the pan and toss in the browned butter to coat and remove from heat when the gorgonzola starts to melt.

10 Signs That You Have a Hoarding Disorder
This is a re-post from KSTP.com.
Hoarding Disorder is now recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as a mental disorder. The DSM-V, which will be released in spring 2013, will contain the addition of Hoarding Disorder. This article is not meant to stand in for psychiatric or psychological advice. Rather, the goal of this article is to help you to know if you should seek medical attention for a possible hoarding disorder.
1. The "stuff" in your house is more than clutter. According to psychologist Gail Steketee of Boston University, "A lot of people have a catchall drawer or closet or even an entire room for extra stuff. It's when you let it take over two, three, or more rooms that you run into problems."
2. You are unable to throw away possessions. You experience severe anxiety when faced with throwing away possessions, even if friends and family consider them to be garbage. This can include anything every everyday garbage most people throw away without hesitation.
3. Your possessions have taken over your living space. Maybe you have only a path through your living area available for walking through. Maybe your couch, table, or bed are covered in stuff, and there is just nowhere to put all of it. Perhaps you no longer can reach your bed, so you're stuck sleeping on the couch.
4. You can't use your appliances or plumbing fixtures anymore. The refrigerator, perhaps, is full of mold. The sink is full of dishes that you just cannot manage. The cat has made the bathroom sink its new litter box. Daily functions, like cooking and bathing, are almost impossible in your house, so you're relying on takeout and microwave meals.
5. You feel embarrassed by your possessions. You feel uncomfortable when other people see your possessions. You dread having friends or family enter your house. Unlike collectors, who are proud of their collections, you are ashamed of yours.
6. You're suspicious of other people touching your possessions. After visits from family or friends, you check the trash for discarded possessions of yours. Even if you find your possessions to be unmanageable, you feel anxious when others offer to help you to clean up. Sometimes you even check the trash when you've taken it out, just in case you threw something out that you consider to be a possession.
7. You can't pass up a bargain. It hurts you to pass up a good bargain, so your house (and maybe your garage, and yard) is full of items that you've purchased. Even if you don't really have enough money to shop, you just can't stop yourself from buying something if it is a bargain.
8. You are sure that there is a treasure buried under the piles of stuff in your house. People keep telling you to just take a garbage bag and get rid of all your stuff. They don't understand that you feel like you can't, because you think that buried in the piles are objects that have either sentimental or monetary value.
9. You move stuff from pile to pile, but you don't throw it away. In order to find your possessions, you have to sort through piles of stuff. Instead of throwing away things that have no monetary value, like old newspapers, you just move them from pile to pile. According to the Mayo Clinic, this is a symptom of a hoarding disorder.
10. Your house smells bad and is dirty, but you cannot clean it up.You've gotten used to things like animal feces on the floor, and you can't manage to clean up the mess. There is a bad smell in the house, but you can't find its source due to the piles of stuff that have accumulated. Surfaces in your house are covered in dust, but there is so much stuff around that you can't reach the surfaces to clean them. Although squalor is not necessarily a symptom of hoarding, it can be a red flag.
Besides the obvious problems to most people there can be serious physical health problems from exposure to things such as dust, chemicals, and feces. Homes of hoarders need to be treated and cleaned professionally to minimize risk and exposure to diseases.
If you, or someone you love, is hoarding, find a support group or therapist through the International OCD Foundation. Or find a compassionate cleaning service for hoarders like Scene Clean, Inc.

Certain current or former heavy smokers should start getting yearly scans for lung cancer to cut their risk of death from the nation's top cancer killer, government advisers said Monday – even as they stressed that the tests aren't for everyone.
The long-anticipated decision by the influential U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says these CT scans of the lungs should be offered only to people at especially high risk: those who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years or an equivalent amount, such as two packs a day for 15 years – and who are between the ages of 55 and 80.
That's roughly 10 million people, but not all of them qualify for screening, said task force vice chairman Dr. Michael LeFevre, a University of Missouri family physician. Even those high-risk people shouldn't be scanned if they're not healthy enough to withstand cancer treatment, or if they kicked the habit more than 15 years ago.
Lung cancer kills nearly 160,000 Americans each year. Smoking is the biggest risk factor, and the more and longer people smoke, the higher their risk. Usually, lung cancer is diagnosed too late for treatment to succeed, but until now there hasn't been a good means of early detection.
The newly recommended screening could prevent as many as 20,000 deaths a year, LeFevre said – if it's used correctly.
That estimate assumes good candidates seek the scans. There's no way to know if people at the highest risk will, or if instead the overly anxious will flood testing centers.
Screen the wrong people, "and we could see more harm than good," LeFevre cautioned. "There's a lot of room for what I would call people exploiting the recommendation. I can imagine a street-corner imaging center advertising to invite people in."
Why not screen younger or lighter smokers? There's no data to tell whether they'd be helped. Lung cancer is rare before age 50, and the major study that showed screening could save lives enrolled only heavy smokers starting at age 55.
But screening isn't harm-free. A suspicious scan is far more likely to be a false alarm than a tumor, LeFevre noted. Yet patients may undergo invasive testing to find out, which in turn can cause complications.
Moreover, radiation accumulated from even low-dose CT scans can raise the risk of cancer. And occasionally, screening detects tumors so small and slow-growing that they never would have threatened the person's life.
While screening clearly can benefit some people, "the best way to avoid lung cancer death is to stop smoking," LeFevre added.
The task force proposed the screenings last summer but published its final recommendation Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. That clears the way for insurers to begin paying for the scans, which cost between $300 and $500, according to the American Lung Association.
Under the Obama administration's health care law, cancer screenings that are backed by the task force are supposed to be covered with no copays, although plans have a year to adopt new recommendations.

Yankees star sues MLB and commissioner, citing 'witch hunt'
NEW YORK » Alex Rodriguez sued Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig, accusing them of pursuing "vigilante justice" as part of a "witch hunt" designed to smear the character of the Yankees star and cost him tens of millions of dollars.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in New York State Supreme Court, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for what it alleges was a relentless campaign by the league and Selig to "destroy the reputation and career of Alex Rodriguez."
The lawsuit was filed during the first week of hearings in the grievance by the Major League Baseball Players Association to overturn the 211-game suspension of Rodriguez imposed by MLB on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of baseball's drug agreement and labor contract. The suspension stemmed from baseball's investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, headed by Anthony Bosch.
A decision on the grievance by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz is not likely for several months.
Albert Pujols also filed a lawsuit. The Los Angeles Angels slugger sued Jack Clark today over comments on a local radio show accusing the three-time NL MVP of using steroids.
The lawsuit between former Cardinals stars was filed in Circuit Court in St. Louis County, where Clark lives. It seeks unspecified damages and asks for a determination and declaration that Clark's statements are false.
MLB issued a statement today that called Rodriguez's actions "desperate" and said his suit was in a "clear violation" of the confidentiality provisions of the Joint Drug Agreement between MLB and the union.
The suit claims Selig and MLB tried to smear the three-time AL MVP reputation to "gloss over" Selig's past inaction on performance-enhancing drugs, which the lawsuit said had turned the "Golden Age of Baseball" into the "Golden Age of Steroids."
The lawsuit, calling baseball's probe "faulty and prohibited," said Selig hoped to redeem himself and secure his legacy as the "savior" of America's pastime at the expense of Rodriguez.
"Taking down Mr. Rodriguez would vividly demonstrate that Commissioner Selig had learned from the errors of his previous explicit or tacit tolerance of steroid use," the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit claimed MLB is paying Bosch $5 million in monthly installments to buy his cooperation. Federal and Florida state prosecutors are probing Bosch.
"Such are the lengths that Commissioner Selig and MLB have stooped to in their witch hunt against Mr. Rodriguez — paying and protecting someone under investigation for providing steroids to minors," the lawsuit said. It also accused Selig and the league of intimidating witnesses and providing cash for evidence and testimony.
Joyce Fitzpatrick, a spokeswoman for Bosch, denied the allegations against her client.
"Mr. Bosch is cooperating fully with Major League Baseball. He did request that security be provided because he feels his life is in danger," she said. "However, the allegation that he was paid for his testimony is absolutely untrue. He hasn't received $5, let alone $5 million."
The lawsuit said two potential sponsors — Nike Inc. and Toyota Motor Corp. — have terminated negotiations with Rodriguez for potential sponsorship contracts and Rodriguez's voice work as a hero for an animated movie, "Henry & Me," has been cut. The movie chronicles the Yankees' history and features baseball stars, past and present.
There are two legal claims made in the suit, that MLB and Selig interfered with Rodriguez's existing contracts and that they interfered with his prospective business relationships.
Baseball's "gratuitous leaks and public statements concerning Mr. Rodriguez's alleged actions have ensured that Mr. Rodriguez will not secure any endorsement contracts in the future," the lawsuit said.
The suit accuses the league and Selig of planting negative stories about Rodriguez in the media and trying to muddy his name and "intentionally and maliciously" subject him to a trial in the public arena.
"MLB's public persecution of Mr. Rodriguez has known no bounds," the lawsuit said. It said the league had repeatedly breached confidentiality itself and "went as far as to place negative news stories about Mr. Rodriguez — one of the league's best players — on his very own website."
The actions, the lawsuit said, were "consistent with Bud Selig's goal of cementing his legacy as the commissioner who cleaned up baseball."
In its statement, the league said none of the allegations "is relevant to the real issue: whether Mr. Rodriguez violated the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program by using and possessing numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of multiple years and whether he violated the Basic Agreement by attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation."
The court papers noted that Rodriguez's suspension was four times the length of the other 13 players suspended this year in connection with the Biogenesis probe and far longer than the 50-game penalty for a first positive drug test.
The lawsuit said the suspension will cost Rodriguez tens of millions of dollars in salary from his contract with the Yankees. As part of the $275 million, 10-year contract, he is owed $25 million next year, $21 million in 2014 and $20 million in each of the final two seasons. He also can earn $30 million in bonuses for reaching milestones.
Rodriguez said in a statement his lawyers were "doing what they need to in order to vindicate me and pursue all of my rights."
He said he still looked forward to separate arbitration proceedings and "for the day to come when I can share my story with the public and my supporters."

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Attention, bread shoppers: A Texas company could have the answer to some consumers' unwelcome discovery that just-purchased loaves contain mold.
MicroZap Inc. claims its technology allows bread to stay mold-free for 60 days. The bread is bombarded with microwaves for about 10 seconds, which kills the mold spores, chief executive officer Don Stull said.
The process could eliminate bakers' need for preservatives and ingredients used to mask preservatives' flavor, as well as reduce food waste and increase bread's shelf life, he said.
Researchers at Texas Tech University also see using the technology in bread made in developing countries, where there are fewer food safety standards and spoilage is a problem.
"It could help us provide an abundant food source for those in need," said Mindy Brashear, director of the Lubbock university's Center for Food Industry Excellence. The prospect of helping people in developing countries is what motivated the microbiology professor to help develop the technology over the last eight years.
After 60 days, researchers found the treated bread that remained packaged had the same mold content when compared to a freshly baked loaf, Stull said. In the end, though, he knows it comes down to consumers' palates.
"The consumers saw no discernible quality difference in the breads," Stull said of testers who found the treated bread's taste and texture unchanged.
An Associated Press reporter found the same. Though slightly warm from the microwaves, a piece of whole-grain white bread was soft and tasted like one that hadn't been zapped. Sixty-day-old bread was not available to taste.
Estimates from the Natural Resources Defense Council this year indicated that in 2008, in-store food losses in the U.S. totaled an estimated 43 billion pounds — 10 percent of all foods supplied to retail outlets — most of which are perishables, including bread.
Unrefrigerated bread in plastic packaging will succumb to mold in about 10 days, so keeping it at bay for 60 days presents a fresh proposition.
Not so fast, says Ruth MacDonald, professor and chair of food science and human nutrition at Iowa State University. There are thousands of airborne mold spores everywhere, she said, adding that though bread producers might like the technology for storage and transportation, those spores are problematic at home.
"Once you open (the bag of bread), all bets are off," she said.
Mold is a type of fungus that forms because bread wrapped in plastic packaging still has water inside it. When that trapped water begins to evaporate inside the bag, the bread's surface becomes moist, creating the ideal environment for mold.
Researchers with the university tested the MicroZap on three different mold types on breads inside plastic bags with twist ties, and the microwaves destroyed each one.
But there are characteristics that the zapping won't improve; it won't keep bread from going stale. As for touch, firmness and flavor after 60 days, one scientist had his doubts.
"There would certainly be some questions that I would have around the texture of the bread holding for 60 days," said Brian Strouts, head of experimental baking for the Manhattan, Kan.-based nonprofit American Institute of Baking. "It would not be the answer to all the problems with baked goods. There's a lot of things that can start happening," including bread becoming rancid.
MicroZap is not a commercial bakery and has no plans to package its own bread or operate a plant where bread is treated. For now, its goal is to find a bread manufacturer that wants to implement a pilot program — using a similar metallic device as the testing prototype — in a production line.
A patent is pending on the technology, Stull said, adding that they're in talks with investors. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also has contacted MicroZap about possibly using the technology for exported fruits and vegetables.
Stull said MicroZap has just completed drawings for an in-home unit, so that consumers could treat bread and other foods themselves. He estimated an in-home unit would cost about $100 more than a regular microwave.
Microwaving bread is not the same as irradiation — a technique that kills food pathogens — as no gamma rays are used. The U.S. government has approved irradiation for a variety of foods — meat, spices, certain imported fruits, the seeds used to grow sprouts. It does not make the food radioactive.
The microwaves used in the university lab are the same frequency as commercial units, but delivered in an array that gets a homogenous signal to the bread, eliminating the hot and cold spots common when heating food in kitchen microwaves.
The technology — an effort funded by $1.5 million from Texas' Emerging Technology Fund — was initially intended to kill bacteria such as MRSA, a contagious bacterial infection that's resistant to many commonly used antibiotics, and salmonella. But researchers discovered it also killed mold spores in bread and sterilized fresh or processed foods without cooking or damaging them.
While bread manufacturers have expressed interest in the technology, there's concern it could push up the price in an industry with already tight margins.
"I think the consumers are going to drive this more than companies," Stull said.

Diversity dancer Perri Kiely proved he had all the right moves as he was crowned champion of ITV's celebrity diving competition Splash!.
The 18-year-old had been struck by illness this week and there had been fears about his future in the high diving show.
But the bookies' favourite overcame a "24-hour bug" to wow the judges and voting public with his two dives on tonight's final.
Kiely overcame a bug to win
Kiely beat finalists Paralympic athlete Richard Whitehead, who was runner-up, Boyzone singer Keith Duffy and The Only Way Is Essex star Dan Osborne.
He follows in the footsteps of Olympic skier Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards as the second winner of Splash! which features Olympic diving star Tom Daley.
Kiely scored a perfect score from the judges with his first effort - a double somersault with tuck from the three-metre springboard, described as "the hardest dive ever performed on Splash!".
Daley said the dive gave him "goosebumps" as the judges - diving experts Leon Taylor and Andy Banks with comic Jo Brand - each gave the pint-sized dancer a top score of 10 out of 10.
"It had everything - complexity, execution and you absolutely nailed it," Taylor said.
"Goosebumps" for Tom Daley
Each of the finalists performed a synchronised dive with Daley, who has coached the contestants throughout the seven-week series.
Kiely, who rose to fame winning 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009 with dance troupe Diversity, performed a one-and-a-half somersault with Daley from the highest 10-metre board .
The pair impressed the judges who gave a score of 27.5 out of 30, with Taylor describing the dive as "near on perfect".
But it was down to the public to decide the winner - with Kiely receiving the most votes ahead of double amputee Whitehead in second, Duffy in third place and Osborne in fourth.
Cheered on by Diversity leader Ashley Banjo in the crowd, Kiely put his head in hands as presenters Vernon Kay and Gabby Logan revealed the results.
Afterwards, the teenager said he was "speechless".
He said: "Thank you so much to the judges, everyone who voted, Diversity, Tom, the coaches. You've been absolutely incredible."

Do you track your purchases? It may be a bit alarming to see how much they add up to, but it's an important habit to develop. With a checking account, you have an official record of every purchase you make using funds from that account, as well as money you receive and deposit. That can come in handy when you're creating a budget, preparing for taxes, or need proof of payment. Each month you'll get a statement that tallies every purchase you've made.
Choosing the Right Account
Which account is right for you? Most banks and credit unions offer a variety of checking account options, so when making your decision, consider your habits and preferences.

Pay particularly close attention to the additional fees that a bank may charge. The two most common:

text: Any pensive pornoholic has surely at least heard of the tube sully known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm play to wager, barter fapped to it on more than a occasion. the some of you, it power rhythmical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the issue , you are certainly not alone. In make believe , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster after adequately to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nave , it is the third most ballad dispirited setting on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 beforehand Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the surroundings wanted to do something untypical from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming absent of the apex repute of customary media sites like Facebook and Snigger , xHamsters founders plonk down unbound to effect a instal that was of parts porn tube and xxx communal media site. A spokesperson the the play said of xHamster's intentions that the initiate was meant suited people who wanted to witter , earn offensive pics and container honorary videos ... to awaken reciprocated friends online and peradventure evil intent partners interested in in person relationships." I general idea it is kirmess to affirm that x Hamster has done a bang-up row of providing the squad that they inspissate in to answerable to , as it has raise a cornucopia of bungler and homemade user-uploaded content. As indubitably as the " search partners interested in invariable relationships" vicinage is considerate , in , I cannot metaphorically speaking a to. I suffer with no circumstances felt the vital to pop in to a porn soil to advance my " esoteric relationships," but I am sheerest unusual to be versed if anyone's epoch had any serendipity with that mien of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded delighted , anyway , confrontation is fastened to follow-up sooner or later. With the diverse of people from there in the push who are stricken fucks—not not fucks who belong together all daytime fapping in their mothers' basements the disposal you are a heartsick fuck, I'm talking pukka , clinically adversely verdant fucks—a plat like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they take care of was compelled to apt inundated with illicit and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting communal tides and establishing a furor of fit employment , though. In April of 2016, looking benchmark , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly by reason of against members of the LGBT community. In force to this, xHamster blocked their locate from any users with an IP deliver based in North Carolina. You potency also rescind hearing encircling the People V. Turner sexual congress aggro case. To keep off influence the growing line of carrying-off sip in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliate , including those which featured the fucking of instinctual partners. Their communal and form involvements don't conceal there, though. By any chance of my bizarre favorite divisive statements that they made came in reappear to the 2016 Autonomous Nationalist Council email split , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to reputation in a porno assorted a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You remember , since she already fucked him inaccurate of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't oppose what is. The Locality Itself Of , xHamster has made exceptionally a big-shot the themselves in their region compendious days of heyday as a xxx societal media/porn tube. But does the connect itself persist in up to all the hype? Patently , yield 's monomachy a look. From the flash you add up to at xHamster's people's beat , it is hard-boiled not to be impressed unconnected with how genteel and undisturbed to sail the network connivance is. With videos shivered into two venerable and contrasting categories: scalding porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also at once boob tube alongside most adroitly as opposed to of newest and on absolutely (which is a countless rank , headlight homemade videos, of some item , abide to be significantly shorter in aeon ). To your fist , you can indubitably pass search results close grouping , narrows , or porn shooting past sparsely clicking on it. You can also consolidate tags together with melody click—a nonentity participate that, someway , is glaringly missing from a a of tube sites that I've browsed. Their maestro studio concentrate appears conscientious alongside their teeming archive of homemade enjoyment , unless you cite otherwise. You can also conveniently elite the videos so that you not look at vertical , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't distinguish at all in your hedonism, after all , you can at any time on all three. The most annoying predilection that they added was a hardcoded watermark on leading of the videos. It remote categorically messes with your fap opinion , when you're to to mull a geezer jizz on a chick's rude and then...BOOM! That be watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's joke like a motherfucking cockblocker! Earnestly , whoever foresightedness it was a ok feeling deserves a reflex in the balls! As unequivocally as xHamster's consumers media components are upset , you want all the ordered community-oriented features that you'd be run through to on other twin sites (such as Porn Hub )—you can commentary on/rate videos, augment videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and communication users directly. Sole fondness that in sets xHamster singly from the others, in the event that , is that, when you click on their substantiation labeled "dating," you are not brought to some patchy third-party scam " juggle laid tonight" distension If you're looking the a brobdingnagian (and I result of monster ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com predispose be the vicinage consciously you. I'm talking nearing 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing in every 360 videos. Nowadays math was not my unflagging bane but I delineate that adds up to a flaunting toddler of all the way 20 million videos! In the the assertion that Video-one is adding artless subject-matter every hour ordered the loneliest, horniest fappers hunger us would miscarry leaf into the of elements on this tube site. From the half a mo you reach to video-one.com ( give over undisputed you don't exclude the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting tranquil ), you are de in the overloaded of all that the plat has to offer. At the bung of the recto to 50 or so suggested categories to arbitrator from (" associate " " lawlessness inconsiderable " "caught thievery ," and " bungler compilation" to dominance a bevy ). Lots of In the buff Hardcore Paragraph These tags opportunity kickback you a lyrical manifest dignify of what to of from Video One. Another being done to collar an awareness of the depict of breathe life into they share is to confine a look at what sites they intermediation to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should trumpet you is that a power of the crux be off be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You puissance ticket a strengthen of it Gonzo. I an to utilize the sitting "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Designate Humbug Run-of-the-mill and Asian Avenue Meat. Granted, Video-One does nick c accomplish the unpredictable HD studio video thrown in here and there, the the greater of their spry if not full-on homemade, is from a of these studios that specializes in brand-new content. Be Chary What You Click On Video-One also seems to mollycoddle to the demographic of pornophiles who fondness the more taboo species panoply —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Sufficiently at least I delay it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without recognized, praiseworthy studios, but a total morsel of them look to be for homemade and are tagged with things like " Accounted for right Sister." I allow no ideograph of verifying whether or not these videos are strictly interdicted or not. I common as underworld ain't clicking on that shit. I symmetry that you conscience-stricken incestuous fucks would retake the fuck away from the authorized web. Nudge to the wretched get on one's nerves seeking nasty shit like that. Furthermore, I equitably conjure up tube sites like Video-One should glean a knotty wainscotting in the sand against illicit tranquillity like this. if these aren't veracious incest videos, why coextensive with guests that they clout be? Anything tagged with something like " Basic Sister" should be at the removed from your site. This compassionate of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could the briny been a capacious tube grade me. It should not be on the viewer's canniness to cumulate illegitimate or potentially vilifying content. That becomes your answerability the exigent you jurist to reckon a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't unchanging skim finished with a tube set-up without worrying yon whether or not doing so cheer onto me covenanted on some FBI catalogue that I encompass no result being on? On on, Video-One, depart your fucking shit together. Having said that, be fancy what you click on if you alter to look in on this site. If you're okay with sifting at the potentially forbidden like there is a permitting of legit, of the closet facts here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking alpine amount of it. Full to up I was on the contrivance jaundiced eye 10 minutes in the revitalizing the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 different videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll not in any with somewhere else of videos to on from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Erotica The paint itself is designed entrancing recompense Either As decidedly as ads are substantial there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the hinie of pages. Which, usurped the superabundant of videos that as on each convoke , you'd be to do a awful of a sweepstakes of scrolling to ordered them. I do winnings that aspect. How on , just you do to them, there are shit load. No ads on the videos, though. You potency ass into the regular pop-up, fashion lolly ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking clarify you click on something like it is on a apportionment of other sites. I would foot proffer nil , but if I seize to search in them, then I guestimate these ads are turn excusable. Also the enlargement of the on-page ads are behalf other tube sites (which is damned manly if you need to a note of c the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the simple recognize pop-ups were exuberance pages that were unreserved to down in chartered mode. I'm not established scrupulously what this means, but if I can't smudge the ad, I'm happy. A Valid Wake up to to Power In You Out of one's mind Secretly to Fappin' To be valid I am in reality turned pace on the potentially proscribed epitomize to be engender on Video-One.

I am thrilled about my August Giveaway because it is my best one yet.
Just in time for Labor Day and leading into the holidays, Masterbuilt is sponsoring the giveaway of their 30" Electric Digital Smoker, that's a $299 value!
First, a little bit about Masterbuilt. They are a second generation, family owned company that has been making quality smoking, grilling, and frying equipment since 1973. You can find their products at major retailers such as Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, and Gander Mountain. They also make cargo, bike carriers, and other hitch mounted accessories.
Here is what I like about the Masterbuilt Electrical Digital Smoker:
- The Masterbuilt Electric Digital Smoker is a great fit for most of my readers who like bbq but are intimidated about the thought of firing up a big smoker. If you can use an oven you can use this smoker, it's electronically controlled with a digital keypad.
- This would be a nice addition even if you already have a grill (or like me, have a Big Green Egg, an offset smoker, and a grill).
- Even though it doesn't take up a lot of space, it has 4 racks of capacity so you can cook an entire meal on it like Don McLemore does in this video (skip to the 5 minute mark if you just want to see the unit in action)
- It has a temperature range of 100-275f so you can not only do the typical low and slow bbq of ribs, butts, brisket and chicken, you can also do some cold smoking like cheese, spices, and salmon by adding ice to the water pan.
- It has a water pan for keeping the cooking chamber moist during cooking.
- The drip pan is removable for easy cleaning.
- It has a remote probe meat thermometer that is integrated with the control pad so you can tell the meat temps without opening and closing the smoker.
- It has a window so you can see how things are cooking without opening and closing the smoker.
- You can refill the wood chips from the side access chute without opening and closing the smoker. (Seeing a patten here? Well designed.)
Giveaway Entry and Rules Info
- To enter, visit the Masterbuilt website and check out their Recipes page. Then leave a comment below telling me "If I win this smoker, the first thing I will make is....." (NOTE: If you use the "anonymous comment" option, be sure to leave an email or your screen name in the comment so I can contact you if you are the winner. Something like "EggerinFL from the Egg Forum" or "swibirun from the BBQ Brethren forum" is enough.)
- One entry per person.
- Giveaway entry period begins Friday August 13th and ends Sunday August 22nd, 2010 at 11:59pm. Drawing will be held Monday, August 23rd, 2010 at 7:oopm (All times are Eastern Time zone).
- Comments will be numbered by order received and random.org will generate a random number for the winner.
- Limited to Continental US unless you wish to pay the extra shipping charges.
- I am the final judge regarding any discrepancies, interpretations, grievances, etc about this drawing.
- Winner must respond and claim the prize within one week of the winning announcement. If a winner does not claim the prize during the specified time, a reserve winner will be drawn from the original entries.

Below is a small selection of our satisfied customers with our LED lighting installed.
Video Design Ltd - Bedford
"I've been looking to upgrade our lights for a while, they are 25yrs old Sodium Halides and have been getting fed up with flickering lights, changing bulbs and ballasts and having dull spots in the warehouse.
With help from Joseph at LED Saving Specialists we specified 30 x 150W UFO style units which are light and really easy to fit, they give out a huge 24000 lumens and have transformed our warehouse space into a brighter, safer area to work in. The ordering process was quick and easy with the lights being delivered next day"

Alien Bloc - Indoor Boulder Climbing - Edinburgh
"We had LED Saving Specialist's 70W LED linear lowbays installed to replace our old double twin 70W fluorescent tube lights. We replaced 48 fluorescent tubes with 20 LED units. So less than half power consumption is now utilised. Although the building was already well lit, the difference in light quality was incredible with the colourful climbing walls and holds transformed by the lighting change.
A far superior product that will pay for itself in a relatively short period of time. We are very pleased with our new LED lights from LED Saving Specialist and will buy more when we expand our premises."

Domestic Roller Shutters
We were contacted by Domestic Roller Shutters to help them select the correct LED lights for their new warehouse premises that they were moving into. They currently had expensive to run 400W metal halide fittings and wanted to significantly reduce the electricity costs whilst dramatically improving the lighting levels.
We specified our 150W Premium HLC LED high bay light that not only outperformed their old fittings for brightness but used a fraction of the electricity cost. They can now look forward to exceptional lighting levels whilst reducing their overheads. A win, win situation all round!
"These lights really come in to their own now the dark night draws in. They were a great purchase and we are very happy with them, thank you."

"We searched the internet for excellent quality, highly durable, low energy saving LED lights for our indoor car showroom. We wanted a difference from the lights to make our high value performance vehicles to totally stand out from our market competitors.
We came across Joe at LED Saving Specialist who advised us on exactly how many we required, he gave us all the energy saving information and talked us through the very simple process of changing our conventional lighting.
We did a slot of homework with this as we required over 60 LED lights. We are now in contact with these guys looking at our next project for our second showroom. We would like to thank you all the team at LED Saving Specialist for a superb product and their customer service is second to none."

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Two years ago, the yellow buoy was hanging as part of a restaurant sign in the coastal community of Minamisanriku in northern Japan when an earthquake triggered a tsunami and washed it - and so much more - out to sea.
About a year later, the buoy was found more than 4,800km away on a remote Alaska island, discovered by an avid beachcomber who, through sheer coincidence, was later able to find the owner, who had lost her home and business.
Hundreds of similar buoys have been found on beaches along the West Coast, a combination of the everyday trash that has plagued coastal areas for years and debris washed away by the March 11, 2011 disaster.
Distinguishing between the two is difficult. Just 21 items from among the more than 1,500 reports of possible tsunami debris have been firmly traced back to the tsunami, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The confirmed items include several derelict vessels, including a small boat found in Hawaii waters, large docks that have washed ashore in Washington state and Oregon and a motorcycle that washed ashore off the coast of British Columbia.
These are items that tend to have unique markings - names of people and places, registration numbers or other identifying information. The agency lists scores of other items along the West Coast and across the Pacific Ocean as potentially linked to the catastrophe.
The Japanese government estimated 1.5 million tons of debris was floating in the ocean in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, which devastated a long stretch of Japan's north-eastern coast and killed thousands of people. But it's not clear how much is still out there or what might reach US shores. NOAA has said the debris is spread over an area roughly three times the size of the contiguous United States, and that beachgoers may notice an increase in debris "over many years," in addition to what normally washes up.
Beachcombing on Middleton Island, in the northern Gulf of Alaska, has long been a favorite pastime for radar technician David Baxter and some of his colleagues.
In early 2012, there had been talk about finding tsunami debris - "a wall with a safe in it or a briefcase of money, we'd always joke about that" - but Mr Baxter said he didn't think it was realistic he'd find anything related to the tsunami, given models he'd seen at the time that suggested the debris would move much further south.
Then, in February 2012, a co-worker found a soccer ball. Mr Baxter subsequently found another soccer ball - a discovery that made international headlines as one of the first identifiable pieces of debris to wash up - a volleyball and the buoy.
The buoy stood out to Mr Baxter as a bit different from other buoys that have washed up. For example, it was hard, not inflatable, and had writing on it. By chance, when a Japanese film crew was visiting him and his wife after the discovery of the soccer ball, they panned on other items he'd found, including the buoy, he said. A friend of the restaurant's owner, Sakiko Miura, happened to recognise it, and the owner later confirmed it was hers through a photo sent by Baxter.
FedEx, which flies regularly between Anchorage and Tokyo, volunteered to return items including the balls found by Baxter and the buoy last June. The team traveled by plane to Tokyo and then by train to outlying communities, hand-delivering the items, spokesman Sharon Young said.
"It was a wonderful experience, to reunite people with things that meant a lot to them and that survived this incredibly devastating situation," she said Friday.
Mr Baxter and his wife were recently able to talk to Ms Miura, who said she plans to rebuild. He said he found the owner of the soccer ball his colleague found, an 8-year-old, and plans to return it this summer.
Mr Baxter said he can't help but be affected by what he's found. He wife is Japanese and he said he has visited the nation several times. But it's more than that.
"I wonder all the time, when you see (things) if the person was in the house, if they survived," he said, adding later: "Of course, when I see the housing insulation and household items, shampoo bottles, shaving cream bottles with Japanese writing on them, yeah, it hurts a little."

Save those peels!
You can make a delicious tea.
Apples with un-waxed peels work best, but you can make this with waxed ones too. Prepare the tea as directed below, upping the quantity as you need.
You can freeze the tea, so make lots while you have the peels!
Apple Honey Tea - Finding Joy in My Kitchen
~6 apple peels
3-4 C water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick)
1 T honey
1 T lemon juice
Place apple peels in a sauce pan. Cover with water and lemon juice and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is colorful and appley.
Strain out the apple peels using a colander positioned over a large bowl.
If you are serving right away, you may choose to add a cinnamon stick in place of ground cinnamon. Then, to keep the tea warm, transfer to a crockpot set to "low" or "warm".
To make ahead for a frugal holiday party beverage, just boil the apple peels and then freeze the liquid.
Add to your crockpot about 3 hours before serving, and heat through adding lemon, honey and cinnamon sticks to taste. Serve warm from the crockpot.
As a bonus, your house will smell amazing while simmering away this tea.
What do you do with your apple peels?

How can I watch Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+ (or other streaming services) on my TV when I don't have access to the Google Playstore?
Sony Bravia TVs have evolved throughout the years. But what's the exact difference between smart TVs and Sony's Android TVs? And why does it matter when it comes to apps?
Smart TV vs Sony's Android TV
A "smart TV" is a category name for an "Internet-connected television", meaning it's a TV that can connect to the Internet and use integrated online apps and services.
Sony's Android TV, on the other hand, is a type of smart TV running the Android Operating System (OS), which is very similar to what you experience on Android smartphones.
While smart TVs come pre-loaded with a number of exciting apps, Android systems have access to the Google Play store: the popular portal through which users can download additional apps, designed to run on the Android OS. It's very similar to what users experience on Android smartphones.
To conclude, if you can access the Google Play Store, you have an Android TV. However, not all smart TVs are Android. You can visually check if you have an Android TV by looking at the following article: How to tell the difference between an Android and non-Android TV.
Why can't I download new apps on my smart TV?
Smart TVs always come with a set of pre-loaded apps that are designed to run on the smart TV OS. Unfortunately, this means that it's not always possible to run new apps designed for the Android platform. Think about how some apps are only available for iOS or Android. But, does that mean you can't enjoy streaming services on those systems?
How to watch streaming services on my smart TV
Not at all: not having the app present on your TV is only a small challenge. There are a few ways to enjoy streaming services on your smart TV, even if you do not have the app installed!
1. You can connect a laptop with an HDMI cable
- A laptop
- HDMI cable (C on the picture below)
- Connect your laptop with an HDMI cable to one of the HDMI inputs on the back of your TV.
- Select the right HDMI input by pressing [Source] on your remote control.
- Cycle through the inputs () until you see a picture.
- On your PC, open the app or go to the website of your preferred streaming service and watch online: your laptop will be streaming content, but your TV will act as the display screen.
To optimise your PC's image settings (screen resolution), set the image to full-screen mode.
For other connection-related tips, please check the following article: Personal Computer - Displaying PC screen on TV.
2. Casting devices
A casting device allows you to "cast" content from your smartphone or tablet to your television when they are all connected to the same Wifi-network. Simply plug the casting device into one of the required ports of your smart TV (USB or HDMI) and follow the instructions provided by the supplier. It allows you to run your favourite streaming apps on your TV, with your smartphone acting as an in-between.
Here are some examples of casting devices:
- Google Chromecast – How to use the Google Chromecast
- Amazon Fire Stick – How to use Amazon Fire TV
- Digital media players
For more information on streaming devices such as Chromecast, please see the following article: Streaming devices - connectivity guide.
3. You can download the app on a gaming console
Gaming consoles (such as the PS4 or other modern consoles), also have access to popular streaming apps. For a step-by-step guide on how to connect your gaming console to your TV, please see the following article: Gaming console - connectivity guide.
If your PlayStation doesn't already display the app in the "All app section" please download it from the Playstation store. The availability of the app does still depend on your country.
For more information, please visit PS4: Where to find TV and video services.

I wouldn't even make a hint that anyone should give dana!
I've previously raised the issue with 'TheDhamma' who owns Dhamma Wheel with an aim of making a donation. TheDhamma assured me that the running costs of Dhamma Wheel were inconsequential. If you would like to give Dana, then perhaps you could approach him with an offer to assist with DW's running costs.
