Not that anyone's counting, but at Chez Canteen we've already brought home a truckload of strawberries and the season is just beginning. The strawberry actually ranks third in berry favorites around here. Blueberries are the top-dog favorite followed by the great little raspberry. But after this very dull and long winter even 3rd-place strawberries seem pretty swell.
Look for strawberries that are deep dark red, on the small side and behave like they might be slightly fragile (they are). Sniff the container and make sure the perfume knocks you over with happiness. Those are the berries you want.
Big giant berries that look like they were spray-painted red by a half-tipsy monkey and offer almost no strawberry odor are some new kind of fast growing, slow rotting, no flavor kind of thing. Leave those at the store. They'll still be there when you drop in next time looking exactly the same. I think they were developed so their shelf life is the same as candy corn – three and half centuries.
There isn't anything complicated about preparing this tart. You can even make both the tart shells and the filling ahead of time and assemble them in the evening when you feel like having dessert. Each component will happily keep in the refrigerator for a good 3-4 days. But be sure to bring home fresh berries for the topping – those won't keep very long.
Berry season is one of those times of year where making great desserts is a slam dunk and a good thing to do. Tarts are one of the easiest. Make the 3-2-1 pie crust (click the link if you need a tutorial on pie crust). Press the dough into individual tart tins and bake. Cool and store in the refrigerator.
Follow the directions to make the mascarpone berry filling, store in a covered container in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the tarts. Top with sliced berries, piled as high as you like. Add a splash of whipped cream and another berry. That's it.
|Strawberry Mascarpone Tart, Gluten Free
- 300 grams GF AP flour ( 150 g superfine brown rice flour, 75 g each superfine white rice flour and tapioca starch/flour)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 115 grams unsalted butter, chilled (1 stick)
- 85 grams Spectrum shortening, chilled)
- 90-100 grams very cold water (1/2 cup)
- 115 grams (25% of a one pound bag) frozen organic strawberries thawed, pureed, strained
- 5 extra-large egg yolks
- 50 grams sugar (1/4 cup) plus 3 tablespoons more
- 170 grams mascarpone cheese (6 oz. or ¾ cup)
- 240 grams heavy cream (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons Framboise
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- pinch salt
- pint or more of fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled and thinly sliced
- 240 grams heavy cream, (1 cup) whipped (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350. Gather 6-8 small/individual tart pans, preferably with removable bottoms.
- In the bowl of food processor, pulse the flour sugar and salt together once or twice. On top of the flour, scatter the chunks of butter and shortening. Pulse a few times just to incorporate - you want them to remain fairly large pieces. Add the icy cold water into the chute starting with 90 grams and pulse. Add more water as needed but no more than 100g total. As soon as the dough forms a ragged ball, stop. Drop onto a sheet of parchment or plastic wrap and remove the blade (carefully!!). Mush the dough into a ball and then into a disk. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Break the dough ball into as many even sized pieces as you have tart pans (this is where a scale comes in more handy than the eye). Press each dough piece into the tart pan all the way up the sides. Clean off the edges so they are neat, but still look a little high for the height of the sides because when you bake it, the shell will shrink slightly. Starting with a high side helps.
- Once all the tarts are shaped, place in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Then place them on baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes. Rotate and bake about 10 minutes more of until they look golden brown. Cool completely. Refrigerate if you will not use them the same day, but only after they are completely cool. Freeze any leftover dough for another use.
- Place thawed berries in a strainer and press to gather all the liquid in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a double boiler over low heat cook the egg yolks, sugar, Framboise, Grand Marnier and lemon juice whisking until it is fully combined and then becomes thick. Remove from heat and whisk a little more. Stir in vanilla. Set bowl in another bowl filled with ice or in the refrigerator to cool. Whisk a few times while it chills.
- Add cream and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar to bowl of a stand mixer and while it is running on medium low. Break off pieces of mascarpone cheese and add it to the cream. Once the mascarpone is incorporated, whip on high until stiff peaks form. Mix in the chilled egg mixture and whip to incorporate. Add all of the strawberry puree to the mixture and whip just until incorporated and it starts to turn pink. Remove bowl from stand mixer. Using a silicone spatula, fold the mixture to make sure everything is well mixed. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to assemble tarts.
- Scoop filling into baked, cooled tart shells. Top with sliced berries - arrange in any pattern you like. Top with a dollop of optional whipped cream if you want. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Filled tarts are best eaten the same day.

Marussia has replaced Max Chilton with Alexander Rossi for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. In a statement the team have said that Chilton has been rested while ongoing contractual issues are being resolved.
Team boss John Booth has clarified that this is not a permanent move and that he hopes Marussia can return to their original driver line-up as soon as possible. After this weekend, the team have two weeks to decide before the Italian Grand Prix.
Chilton has been enjoying a good season at Marussia and it is expected that he will remain in F1 next year. His management company have released a statement saying that Chilton has volunteered to give his seat up, in order for the team to raise funds.
Rossi, an American, was not expected to be handed his debut this season. He is the second debut driver featuring on Sunday, along with Andre Lotterer, who has replaced Kamui Kobayashi at Caterham.

Sorry to disagree with everyone, but I thought very little of the story. Read like it was written by a junior high school kid with an over active imagination.
At first I thought he was going somewhere with the magical moment. Then the story of his heroics kicked in and that was the end of the magic tie in.

You should have taken the hint from the "KM Move." K.L. must be a partnership of Ken Krenzel and Harry Lorayne. (Although if Harry were involved, it would doubtless be L.K.)

When was the first 900 series bowled ?
So have you ever wondered when the first 900 series in bowling was bowled?
Most of us as bowlers have a hard time even believing this is possible to achieve. We strive each bowling night to throw 12 strikes in a row for a 300 game, however trying to throw 36 seems unreachable when we leave a stone 10 pin during the night. With all this being said we have heard of this being accomplished.
If you have read most of my bowling posts prior to this you know it will have some controversy behind it. So lets start, It's July 1, 1982 A bowler name Glenn Allison shows up to his sanctioned league and begins throwing strike after strike the entire night. At the end of the night he becomes the first person to throw 36 strikes in a row for a 900 series. Wow isn't that great he just changed the game of bowling or did he? Well sorry to burst your bubble, but this is not going to turn out well for Glen. The American Bowling Congress comes down to the alley and states "it was not officially sanctioned by the American Bowling Congress due to "non-compliant" lane conditions".
We are all bowlers here, and we have seen some pretty easy shots laid down, When is the last time a lane condition let you throw 36 strikes in a row for a 900 series? I would say no matter what lane condition was put down in 1982 it could not have made the shot so easy that only he bowled a 900 series. It is now the year 2012 and Glen Allison's 900 series has still not been recognized.
Now let's get to some fun stats. We can see the first 900 series was in 1982 and there was none prior to that from the beginning of bowling. So American Bowling Congress stated that an unfair lane condition caused 900 series. If this is correct why did it take almost 15 years for the first recognized 900 to be put on record.
The first 900 series on record was February 2, 1997. If you have been bowling a long you maybe know that in the 1990's a drastic change to bowling balls had been made. The introduction of Resin Reactive bowling balls was now in effect. This was the start of the drastic change to bowling as a sport. Since 1997 there now have been 25 recognized 900 series in the sport. The question i have is, why isn't the United States Bowling Congress saying that the drastic change in bowling balls is an unfair condition? It is not a fluke that the increase in 300 games, 800 series, and 900 series since 1997 has to do with bowling balls. So why not recognize the first true 900 series bowler in the history of bowling?
To add to this great story, One of our site members has provided me with some rare information about Glenn Allison's 900 series. Glenn had bowled the 900 series in a 9:00 league. He finished the first shift (6:15) league with four strikes, then threw the 36 strikes for his 900, THEN … and keep in mind this was before the days of automatic scoring turning off the lanes … he continued throwing strikes … four more to be exact … before finally leaving a stone-8 on ball 45. That's an (unofficial) total of 44 in a row.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 press renders leaked
Well, it was clearly only a matter of time. Following the leaked press renders depicting the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 in all its glory, we can now see what the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 will look like – once again, thanks to leaked press renders, and once again courtesy of @evleaks.
Now all that's left is for some press renders of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 to get leaked, and then we'll have the full trio. Obviously though, we're hoping that the Korean company will make the Galaxy Tab 4 line (comprising of the aforementioned three tablets) official soon – that is, actually issue a press release for them, and not just acknowledge their existence on a page dedicated to something else entirely.
As you can see, the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 has a very similar design to the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, as well as the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 from last year. So no surprises here, this is yet another tablet that's clearly recognizable as a Samsung, for better or worse.
Previously leaked specs for the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 talked about a 10.1-inch 1,280×800 touchscreen, a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, microSD card support, an 8 MP rear camera, a 2 MP front camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 6,800 mAh battery. It should run Android 4.4 KitKat and come in three connectivity versions: Wi-Fi-only, Wi-Fi+3G, and Wi-Fi+4G LTE.

Im used to doing the chain event there in the top right part of the map with 15-20 people doing it at once, so where does everyone level in the 45ish range? I kind of find it boring to just be leveling by myself out there. Is there any tips you guys have for a better leveling experience?

Court declines request to detain women linked to terror
Mombasa,KENYA:A Mombasa court on Thursday declined an affidavit sworn in court to detain three terror suspects by police.
Mombasa senior principal magistrate Henry Nyakweba said prosecution failed to give compelling reasons that linked the three women to a terrorist group.
Nyakweba said prosecution did not name a terrorist group which the suspects are alleged to be member and their connection to central police attempted attack.
Nasteho Ali Thalil,Luul Ali Tahilil and Zamzam Abdi Abdullahi were arrested on 20th September at Majengo area in Mombasa County.
The suspects lawyer Jared Magolo had earlier opposed his clients be detained, saying prosecution only arrested them because they were classmates to one of the women killed during an attempted attack at central police station.
Nyakweba further said court only grant detention of suspects when there are compelling reasons, needed to protect suspects from danger or if the suspects are already serving prison sentence.
State counsil Erick Masila said he will appeal the ruling.
'I don't find reason to detain suspects' said Nyakweba.
Four other suspects linked to central police attack are detained by police to allow full investigations.

Glide, Soar, Zoom: AU Hosts Steadicam Training
WILMORE, Ky. — Asbury University's new, state-of-the-art Miller Center for Communication Arts was a supporting actor in a recent Steadicam training session for students and community members.
Steadicam is a mounting system for motion picture cameras that eliminates the jarring vibration that is almost unavoidable in hand-held filming. By isolating the camera from the photographer's body with a system of counter-balanced weights and springs, the photographer can move quickly over uneven terrain while maintaining a steady, smooth shot.
The Miller Center, with its built-in sets and stairs, provided ample opportunities for students to practice different shots with the equipment. David Svenson, director of photography at Carolina Productions in Charlotte, N.C., spent three days working with Asbury students, as well as staff members from a Lexington television station.
"This is the first year the training was in our new building, and David had a lot of skills he could teach through the way the building was constructed," said Don Mink, operations manager and TV lab assistant in the Miller Center.
Because the Steadicam is such a specialized piece of equipment, certification is necessary to rent a Steadicam rig. Typically, photographers looking for Steadicam training would need to travel to New York or California and pay thousands of dollars for the experience; Svenson provided the training at Asbury for significantly less. Asbury has more than a dozen students who are now certified, and Steadicam shots often appear in their projects and Highbridge Film Festival submissions.

Read Stuff, You Should: Voting More (or Less)
Happy Birthday to Jools Holland, 56.
Is it the weekend yet? You'll be needing some good stuff:
1. More on Bauer-Ginsberg: one of the political scientists involved, Barry Burden, talks about how the commission made good use of what political scientists know about elections.
2. We've heard a lot from liberals (and from political scientists) about the commission; we've heard a lot less from Republicans. Here's one preliminary response, from the Republican National Lawyers Association.
3. Obama listener Andrew Sprung on the president's negotiation style. Very interesting.
4. Reasonable defense of Barack Obama's procedures regarding Afghanistan, from surge opponent Conor Friedersdorf.
5. More from Sean Trende on Senate elections this year.
6. The best response to Mike Huckabee is from Ann Friedman: the unsexy pie.
7. And Jaime Fuller on the long history of writing about the 2016 cycle, and writing about how one shouldn't be writing about the 2016 cycle, and how it's actually okay to be writing about the 2016 cycle…you get the picture.

Not all that wheezes is asthma. Asthma can sometimes be very tricky. You may experience all of the signs of asthma that will be discussed here or you may not experience any of these symptoms. If you suspect that you have asthma then you need to see a doctor to get your symptoms checked out.

There are also a number of diseases that lead to wheezing but are not asthma such as:

1. Congestive heart failure- heart conditions where the heart's pump is failing and unable to provide an adequate blood supply. In addition to some similar symptoms to asthma patients have difficulty breathing while lying down and swelling in both legs.

2. Pulmonary Embolism or PE- A PE sometimes leads to wheezing, a classic asthma symptom, but sudden onset shortness of breath and chest pain are much more common.

3. Cystic Fibrosis (CF)- CF patients will wheeze, shortness of breath and cough. However, this chronic illness is also associated with poor growth and a number of other problems in early childhood.

4. Gastroesophageal Reflux disease (GERD)- GERD may lead to wheezing and cough and commonly is responsible for nighttime asthma symptoms. Patients commonly experience a painful burning sensation as well as a sour or bitter taste in the back of the mouth.

Wheezing is the sign of asthma most commonly associated with asthma and the most common reason patients and parents seek care when concerned about asthma. The high-pitched whistle is most commonly heard as you exhale, or breathe out. However, wheezing may also occur when inhaling or breathing in and usually indicates poorer asthma control. Wheezing is differentiated from stridor, decreased airflow that results from obstruction outside the lung. In wheezing inflammation causes narrowing of the airways inside of the lung resulting in decreased air flow through the lung.

Wheezing can also occur with a number of other diseases.

Shortness of breath is the feeling of breathlessness and inability to catch your breath that you may experience with asthma. This classic asthma symptom can be experienced before diagnosis or be a sign of poor asthma control.

Shortness of breath is never normal, but it is also not unexpected with very strenuous exercise or travel to high altitudes such as Breckenridge, CO. Additionally, moderate exercise in an obese patient also may lead to shortness of breath with less than expected exertion.

This difficulty breathing may be referred to as dyspnea by your physician and others may refer to it as "air hunger" or the sensation of not being able to catch your breath. Different people may name or describe it differently because they experience the symptoms differently. Some patients are not able to do as much activity as they were in the past. Additionally, the symptom will come on suddenly for some and more gradually for others. If asthma is the cause for you, you may be able to tell if this is typical for your asthma or not.

Cough is a common complaint patients have when seeing the doctor, especially during cold and flu season. It can signify something bad in patients at risk for lung cancer, be one sign of a bacterial infection, or it could just be a simple virus. Cough is also part of your body's normal defense mechanisms.

A chronic cough can also be a sign of poor asthma control. If your doctor is concerned about asthma they are likely to ask you about coughing at night as well as with exercise. In asthma patients, a night time cough more than twice per week may mean you need to step up your asthma medications.

Chest tightness may occur along with the other classic asthma symptoms or all alone. Patients generally describe it as the very uncomfortable feeling of air not moving in their lungs. Patients commonly say "I just feel tight." For many patients, this causes a significant amount of anxiety as they think they will be unable to adequately breathe.

No matter what signs of asthma you are experiencing you want to make sure that you get them checked out. As stated earlier, not all that wheezes is asthma and many of these symptoms can occur in multiple diseases. It is important that all of your symptoms get evaluated.

He may have partied till nearly dawn, but parenting was on the mind of Kevin Federline Friday night into Saturday morning – capping a week in which he and ex Britney Spears seem destined for a custody showdown.
"Kevin was in a great mood and even talked about a new song he is working on, called 'Daddy's Home,' " says a source at Mansion on South Beach – where K-Fed (as host) and his party of 10 and a security guard stayed until 4 a.m. Saturday, following a late dinner at Miami's Michy's, an intimate and upscale restaurant.
"He has put a lot of time and effort into writing and rehearsing it, but says it is not quite ready yet," the source tells PEOPLE.
At Mansion, Federline, dressed in an over-sized, blue, long-sleeved, oxford shirt and jeans, spent much of the night chatting with the club's host Lyndon Smith, another single dad. "We talked about our kids and parenting and what that's all about," Smith says.
Although multiple bottles of champagne were sent to Federline, he preferred to drink water. Not that the bubbly went to waste – he sprayed an entire bottle on the dancing crowd.
Scrubs star Zach Braff and Donald Faison, with Cacee Cobb, Jessica Simpson's former assistant, came late and hung with Federline while he danced with his group of friends, including one guy from his hometown.
Good Dance Moves
"Kevin is a great dancer with some very complicated moves," says another source at Mansion. "He wasn't with any one girl in particular. He was friendly and nice to everyone and in a wonderful mood."
Federline, 30, had been seen in the late afternoon checking into the Gansevoort Hotel on South Beach, where he asked staffers to call him "Kevin" and even signed autographs.
"Kevin seemed happy and was very gracious," says an eyewitness. "He stopped and took photos with anyone who asked."
Saturday brought more high-living for K-Fed and his entourage, who spent the day on a private luxury yacht with Chris Jones of the Opium Group and Mansion host Smith, who brought Federline to Miami Beach after he had recently appeared as "Father of the Year" at the Opium Group's club Prive in Las Vegas.
"We hung on the boat all day and late into the night," a source at sea tells PEOPLE. "We just relaxed, fished, ate, swam and had a great time."
Much later on, the group went to SET, an old Hollywood-themed club on Lincoln Rd. "Kevin said he had a great boys' weekend, but was happy that in a few hours he would be back with his kids," said a source.

Vassar nets FEMA grant
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, February 4, 2004
After seven long years, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved a grant in the amount of $1,785,000 to assist with a flood control project. The money will constitute about 75 percent of the cost, with taxpayers sharing the remaining 25 percent through special assessments to the Moore Drainage District in the City of Vassar, County of Tuscola, Vassar Township, Denmark Township, Tuscola Township and the Michigan Department of Transportation, and Michigan Department of Transportation Railroad. Assessments also will be made to taxpayers owning land within the watershed or drainage district based on benefits and contributions.
"Sen. Dale Kildee has said he would step up to the plate and has promised an attempt to facilitate additional federal funding - hopefully to the tune of $200,000 - that would help lessen the burden on taxpayers. We'll keep our fingers crossed," said Sarah Pistro, Tuscola County drain commissioner. The project will lessen flooding in the City of Vassar by 85 percent for floods under the 100-year flood level.
"As I promised earlier, we will be conducting an informational public meeting on this project for all taxpayers within the district," Pistro said. The meeting is scheduled for March 17 at 7 p.m. at Vassar High School.
Following the public meeting, the next step will be a mandatory pre-bid for contractors and public utilities. Providing the bids received are within the engineers estimates, a contract will be awarded and a construction date and timeframe will be established.
Various solutions to the Moore drainage problems were explored numerous times in the past, but never completed because of lack of funding and differences of opinion. This time, after the Board of Determination deemed the project necessary on Feb. 15, 1997, Pistro wrote and obtained a study grant in the amount of $105,000 with an additional $35,000 provided from the district.
"Teamwork was the key this time around," Pistro said. "The press, the community, Vassar's city manager, the Vassar City Council, the Corps of Engineers, DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) and landowners within the district, all came together and brought insights and perspectives to the project."
The FEMA implementation grant is based on the study grant performed by Wade Trim Engineering Project Manager Jim Sherrill.
The implementation grant will be used to divert and improve the Moore Drain and create berms along the river in order to alleviate flooding in the downtown.
Improvements to the Moore Drain will include a diversion upstream near the Cass River railroad via-duct by way of cutting new channels across Cass Avenue and installing culverts and flap gates in the river, adding new culverts downstream and building berms along the river from Huron Avenue past the new outlet for the Moore Drain. The berms will be 2 to 5 feet in height. The object will be to divert flood water around the downtown. Sherrill constructed models based on Vassar's flood history including the frequency of flooding, volume of water, and flood elevations. An intense study also was performed on flood hydrology, including sedimentation in the river, obstructions, and water flow through existing culverts to determine the outcome best suited for the city.
"We're pleased with the efforts form the Tuscola County Drain Commission's office, Wade Trim and FEMA in bringing this project to realization for the city as a whole," said Vassar City Manager Scott Adkins.
A second project currently awaiting approval from FEMA to further alleviate flooding in the city is the Natural Habitat Restoration Project (NHRP). The NHRP includes river shoreline restoration and cleaning, sedimentation and obstruction removal from the river, removal of the old dam structure and installation of the fish ladder. The city will qualify for a 35 percent matching grant if approved by FEMA for design and implementation.

Time management is one of the biggest challenges for creative individuals. Time seems to evaporate and get out of our control. If you are seeking some ideas to help you manage time better you came to the right place. In this article I offer 10 time-saving tips for busy artists.
The mistakes that prevent us from being most productive are: unfocused time in social media, sorting through junk mail and email, having a poorly organized work area, absent or poor planning, failure to choose and implement priorities, lack of delegation skills, procrastination, over-committing, not finishing projects, attempting to do too much at once, failing to tame creativity overload, and so on…
Want to gain more time for creativity? Here's a simple idea: Eliminate the worst time wasting habits and replace them with time-saving practices.
Strive for Excellence – Not Perfection
The trait of perfectionism effects your profit margin and as Salvador Dali said "Have no fear of perfection – you'll never reach it." As a perfectionist you can waste so much time redoing projects and often may not complete them. Don't let this happen to you. Instead, strive to do better each time you start task or creative project.
If you suffer from perfectionism, remember this… When weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out. Isn't that amazing?
Keep Daily Accurate Expense Accounts
To determine your profit / loss for your art business keep a daily record of every income and expense. Categorize your expenses by type, such as: office expenses, professional services, art supplies, utilities, etc. When it's time to design your art business plan, project your cash flow and do your taxes and your end of the year summary, it will be effortless.
There are many programs you can choose from with time-saving functions, charts and graphs such as Quicken and Excel.
"It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants.The question is, what are we busy about?" ~ Henry David Thoreau
Maintain a Current Art Inventory List
Do you know how much art you have ready to be sold? Do you know the total value of your current inventory? Create an inventory sheet which lists your art, medium and retail/wholesale prices.
This will not only give you an optimistic sense of "money waiting to be collected", it will save time when you are asked to provide a list for insurance purposes and options for prospective clients.
Determine Your Value Per Hour
Decide if your art is a business and not a hobby. Prosperity will not occur without this important step. Keep a log of your time spent in your studio. When your art starts to sell you can determine how much you are earning per hour. (If an average painting sells for $1,000 and takes 20 hours to create your hourly rate is $50 an hour, not including other overhead costs, etc.)
At some point, you can decide to save time and earn more money by hiring someone to help you do the uncreative work so you can spend more time creating art. If you can get an intern (free) you have just increased your value per hour!
"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." ~ Albert Einstein
Prepare Your Images For Print and Online
Many times when I will ask an artist for a 300 dpi jpeg to accompany a magazine article I'm writing they don't have one on hand so they miss a golden opportunity to get publicity. When you or your photographer shoots your work immediately prepare a range of sizes and resolutions to have on hand.
You can use 72-100 dpi for your website/blog and should have 300 dpi jpegs for print — books, magazines, catalogues, postcards.
Label The Back of Your Art
A good practice is to provide detailed information on every work of art you plan to sell, whether you are selling from your studio or through a gallery. This label should include your name and contact information, title, medium, and size.
For your own information assign a number to each work which will correspond to your inventory list that will also include time spent on the piece.
"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" ~ John Wooden
De-clutter your LinkedIn Email
If you're on LinkedIn, you have the option of how frequently you receive email updates from the groups you belong to. Scroll down to the bottom of the email you receive from the group and you'll see this: Don't want to receive email notifications? Adjust your message settings. Click that link. You can change your preferences there and save time and space in your mailbox.
Schedule Social Media Posts in Advance
This alone could save you so much time and boost your social media marketing efforts! In addition to using social media to interact personally with potential customers directly, if you have general announcements to post and are a multi-social media user, schedule your tweets, updates and comments in advance.
I use http://www.hootsuite.com. From that one site you can schedule updates for Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook in advance. Another useful time-saving platform is http://www.Tweetdeck.com.
Additional benefit: View all streams in one location.
From these two platforms (and there are more options out there) you can schedule posts, view your streams of friends and followers, mentions, DMs, and more, all in one place at the same time.
Avoid the Costly "free" or Cheap Options
The least expensive computer may cost us time and costly repairs when it doesn't function properly. The less expensive and poor quality art supplies may generate inferior results.
Sometimes a bargain or sale is a good option and sometimes it is a waste of our hard earned money. So, look for value instead of focusing on the price tag.
Wishing you much success in your time-saving efforts!

Life, as they live it: Faces of Jammu & Kashmir
Photographer Kunal Kelkar's project, Faces of Jammu & Kashmir, aims at capturing diverse expressions of people from the strife-torn state to show that there is more to their lives than just conflict
Q. Could you throw light on this project?
A. This project — where I have captured faces of local Kashmiri people — is part of a bigger project that involves me clicking faces of people belonging to different cultures across the world. The aim was to show the locals of the state in a different light. Everyone thinks Kashmir is a region that is always consumed by war and the people there are always unhappy or depressed due to this. Capturing the expressions of the locals as they went about their daily routine was the main aim of this project, so as to show others that it is not always pain that is depicted on the faces of the locals.
Q. What was the focus of the images? What locales did you travel to, for this project?
A. The focus of the images was the faces of the local people in their natural habitat. These images were clicked in the areas of Baltal and Sonmarg.
Q. What sort of challenges did you face, considering the intermittent tension in that region?
A. It was very easy to capture these images. The locals were very cooperative and camera-friendly. There was barely any tension felt around the area I was in, and after talking to the locals, they, on their own revealed that the media makes the tension out to be more than what it actually is.
Q. Do you think you've been able to successfully complete what you set out to achieve with this project?
A. A photograph is a moment frozen in time and these moments become rare based on how great the photo is along with the time and setting it was taken in. Through a photograph, one can cherish that rare memory over and over again.

Ghostrider's Cruze LTZ: Initial Ownership Review
Ghostrider's Cruze LTZ: Initial Ownership Review
I pretty much fell in love with the Cruze when I first clapped eyes on the car. The first thing that struck me was that it had very mondeo-esque proportions, but was much chunkier. It was like a Mondeo that had been working out at the gym for a couple of years.
Over the last couple of years I've kept a close eye on the C and D segments to see what caught my fancy. For a while I was pretty gung-ho about the Vento diesel, but when I drove the car the most important ingredient I look for in a car was missing.... it just didn't put a smile on my face.
Cut to January of 2012, and I decided that is the year I'm biting the bullet. My wife had been listening to me drone on and on about getting a new car for months, and finally she said... "Look, you've clearly wanted the Cruze for a while now. You've thought it through, you can afford it, and frankly if I have to go another day with you trying to justify why you want it I'm going to go crazy!!!"
What else was considered...
The Laura, obviously. They're very similar in a lot of respects, but they're also very different. The Laura feels more germanic when you sit inside the car, but I felt a little underwhelmed on the test drive. No whoosh.
Also, when you compare the car to the Cruze LTZ, the Laura interiors are wayyy too spartan in comparison. Say what you want, but the goodies count for a lot.
The absolute best thing about the Cruze, however, is it's engine. Enough's been said about it on the forums so I won't go into it. All I will say is the power is exhilarating.
Also considered was the Jetta. It's a fantastic car, but it was priced a couple of lakhs too high for comfort.
The booking and dealership experience...
Not the best, to be honest. While the negotiation process was fairly typical (big thanks to GTO here for his thread on buying a new car) I was on a tight schedule for delivery because I was going to be travelling... and they missed the deadline. What was worse though that when the delivery date arrived and I went at the pre-determined time to pick up the car... I was stunned. It was filthy, the accessories hadn't been fitted, and the whole car was covered in a layer of dust.
Needless to say, I raised hell. The manager of the dealership got the firing of her life. These were minor niggles, but they soured the booking experience a bit. Finally, they apologized profusely, cleaned up and polished the car, and home-delivered it wrapped in ribbons and balloons and with a cake from Birdys.
1. What's great about it
The engine:
Without a doubt, this is the Cruze's party piece. Sources inside GM claim that the turbo lag's been reduced, and I can confirm this. The turbo starts spooling and you can feel the surge building from about 1400-1600 rpm and then the it REALLY kicks in by about 1700-1800. I'm not sure why people say the Cruze MT is tough to drive in the city... I don't think so at all.
The steering and manoeuvrability:
It's excellent. The Cruze is a big car, but the steering is light enough to make city driving a breeze.
The interiors are fantastic.
GM seems to have improved thw quality of the plastics immensely. I haven't found a single rough or unfinished edge anywhere. The carpets and the upholstery seems plusher than on older models.
NVH is SUPERB.
I'm talking about quietness and refinement by
petrol car standards
. With the windows are up and music off, very little road and engine noise filters through.
The AC:
It absolutely
. The climate control works exceedingly well and chills the car in minutes even if it's been parked in the sun.
The steering feel:
It's the perfect diameter and it's chunky enough for most hand-sizes. Ergonomics are good, all stalks and controls fall easily to hand. Feedback is good.
Parking sensors:
They're brilliant. I was parking the other day, and I knew there was a single vertical bamboo right at the corner of the bumper (3 inches from the edge)... and the sensors found it.
It's wonderfully convenient.
Little touches:
Like the fact that all the storage bins (including the little cubby holes in the door and the sunglasses-holder) are lined with soft material to prevent rattles, like the front center armrest slides forward and backwards for you to find the right driving position, like the little lights on either side of the vanity mirror behind the passenger sunshade. Like the ledge beneath the centre information display is angled and padded so you could rest your phone on it without it sliding around.
2. What's good about it
The seats:
I'm 5'10 and of medium build and the seats offer the right amount of side and lumbar support.
The instrument cluster:
everything is well lit, clearly visible, and looks great in ice-blue.
The gearshift:
... it's slick, but not Vento-slick. The fact that it's a short-throw box is great, but it's not a rapid-action gearshift.
The center information display
is informative, looks good, and easy to navigate. It's loaded with tweakable options.
3. What's just okay or not-so-good about it
The recline angle of the rear seats:
It's perhaps 5 degrees too upright. Another 5 degrees of recline would've been superb.
The self-dimming OHRVM
should've had a manual toggle switch like the Altis does.
It's not the best sound. It's better than most stock systems, but it's pretty low on kick and punch.
Stock JK Vectras:
are pretty poor tyres. Also, the rim design's a little too bland.... but then that's a great excuse to upgrade :D
Some weird quirks:
For example, if I turn the car off and open the driver's side door, it kills the music system. Why?? I could just be stepping out for a minute and someone could still be sitting in the car. Also... if you turn the the AC off, it automatically turns the blower into ventilate mode. Why???
The Clutch return action:
Too strong. It takes some getting used to. Nailing perfect gearshifts is going to take some practice!! :D
4. Accessories and mods
were upgraded to Lenso ES6 17-inchers. I literally went through 100-120 designs of rims over weeks and weeks. I wanted something that would stand out, but not too flash. Something sedate and sporty at the same time.
Yokohama Advan Sports, running 225/50 profiles. I haven't had a chance to really explore the limits of grip yet, but a big thanks to
Akshay1234, Amey, Nishant Gandhi
, and
for helping me select them.
Haven't gotten them yet... but will be getting my Vkools this week.
Tuning Box:
My Swift had one, and while the power of the Cruze seems more than enough right now, I'm sure I'll be itching for some extra horses in a couple of months.

Memories Of Murder give way to monsters in The Host, an offbeat creature feature from South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho. Ditching the complexities of his stunning police thriller, Bong remakes Godzilla for Korea as a CG critter emerges from Seoul's Han River and starts munching citizens. Noodle-slurping slacker Gongdu (Song Kang-ho) is our unlikely hero, dodging callous US military scientists in an attempt to save daughter Hyungseo (Ko Ah-sung) from the beast's slavering chops. Some stonking CGI gives the creature a glistening, gelatinous look that's part HR Giger, part Generation X-Box. Shame Bong lessens the thrills with plodding pacing and a bold/daft decision to focus in on Gong-du's extended family of loveable losers. Result? The Korean slapstick gets more screen time than the expected monster mash.

By now, most of you know we don't celebrate Halloween in our family. What we do celebrate tonight are the Holy Unmercenaries Saints Cosmas and Damian, whose feastday is tomorrow, November 1. If you're on the Old Calendar, you're celebrating St. John of Kronstadt.
So, whether you're out trick-or-treating or not, why not sit down at the end of the night and read this quick story of their lives? May they intercede for us always…
Sts Cosmas and Damian the Holy Unmercenaries (November 1-new calendar)
The Holy Martyrs, Wonderworkers and Unmercenary Physicians Cosmas and Damian were born at Rome, brothers by birth, and physicians by profession. They suffered at Rome in the reign of the emperor Carinus (283-284 AD). Brought up by their parents in the rules of piety, they led strict and chaste lives, and they were granted by God the gift of healing the sick. By their generosity and exceptional kindness to all, the brothers converted many to Christ. The brothers told the sick, "It is not by our own power that we treat you, but by the power of Christ, the true God. Believe in Him and be healed". Since they accepted no payment for their treatment of the infirm, the holy brothers were called "unmercenary physicians".
Their life of active service and their great spiritual influence on the people around them led many into the Church, attracting the attention of the Roman authorities. Soldiers were sent after the brothers. Hearing about this, local Christians convinced Sts. Cosmas and Damian to hide for a while until they could help them escape. Unable to find the brothers, the soldiers arrested instead other Christians of the area where the saints lived. Sts. Cosmas and Damian then came out of hiding and surrendered to the soldiers, asking them to release those who had been arrested because of them.
At Rome, the Saints were imprisoned and put on trial. Before the Roman emperor and the judge they openly professed their faith in Christ God, Who had come into the world to save mankind and redeem the world from sin, and they resolutely refused to offer sacrifice to the pagan gods. They said, "We have done evil to no one, we are not involved with the magic or sorcery of which you accuse us. We treat the infirm by the power of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and we take no payment for rendering aid to the sick, because our Lord commanded His disciples, 'Freely have you received, freely give'" (Matt 10: 8).
The emperor, however, continued with his demands. Through the prayer of the holy brothers, imbued with the power of grace, God suddenly struck Carinus blind, so that he too might experience the almighty power of the Lord, Who does not forgive blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Mt. 12: 31). The people, beholding the miracle, cried out, "Great is the Christian God! There is no other God but Him!" Many of those who believed besought the holy brothers to heal the emperor, and he himself implored the saints, promising to convert to the true God, Christ the Saviour, so the saints healed him. After this, Sts. Cosmas and Damian were honourably set free, and once again they set about treating the sick.
But what the hatred of the pagans and the ferocity of the Roman authorities could not do, was accomplished by black envy, one of the strongest passions of sinful human nature. An older physician, an instructor, under whom the holy brothers had studied the art of medicine, became envious of their fame. Driven to madness by malice, and overcome by passionate envy, he summoned the two brothers, formerly his most beloved students, proposing that they should all go together in order to gather various medicinal herbs. Going far into the mountains, he murdered them and threw their bodies into a river.
Thus these holy brothers, the Unmercenary Physicians Cosmas and Damian, ended their earthly journey as martyrs. Although they had devoted their lives to the Christian service of their neighbours, and had escaped the Roman sword and prison, their teacher treacherously murdered them.
The Lord glorifies those who are pleasing to God. Now, through the prayers of the holy martyrs Cosmas and Damian, God grants healing to all who with faith have recourse to their heavenly intercession.
Dismissal Hymn (Plagal of the Fourth Tone)
Sainted Unmercenaries and Wonder Workers, regard our infirmities; freely you have received, freely share with us.
Kontakion (Second Tone)
Having received the grace of healing, you extend health to those in need, O glorious and wonder-working physicians. Hence, by your visitation, cast down the audacity of our enemies, and by your miracles, heal the world.
St. John of Kronstadt (November 1-old calendar)
Born in 1829 from pious parents of very modest means, St. John was quick to learn the power of prayer. As a child he was a slow learner, but one night after fervently praying for God's help in his studies, he suddenly felt as if he were violently shaken, as if "the mind opened up in his head." From then on he became a good pupil, graduating at the head of his class. He went on to seminary in St. Petersburg where he began to prepare for missionary activity in Siberia and Alaska. But in a dream he saw himself as a priest in a large cathedral and soon thereafter he married and was ordained and appointed to serve in the St. Andrew Cathedral of Kronstadt–the very cathedral which had appeared in his dream. Kronstadt was a port city full of poverty, drunkenness and immorality. It was here that Father John poured out his compassionate love and began his extraordinary ministry founded on prayer. Literally thousands, including Jews and Moslems, flocked to him for spiritual and material aid and were witnesses to his God given powers of healing, spiritual discernment and prophecy. His genuine Christian love brought many to repentance and conversion and the cathedral which held up to 5,000 people was packed every day for Divine Liturgy. He died Dec. 20, 1908, and his funeral, attended by tens of thousands, conveyed that radiance of Paschal joy which constantly shone upon the face of Father John whom many affectionately called, the "Easter batiushka".
Such a high level of spiritual life, particularly under the demanding circumstances of life in the world, required great skill and perseverence in spiritual warfare. On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of his ordination, he wrote in his "Conversation":
"Once ordained a priest and pastor, I soon learned through experience with whom I had entered into combat in my spiritual arena, namely with the powerful, cunning, unsleeping prince of this world, who breathes evil and perdition and the fire of hell, and with the sub-celestial spirits of evil …. This battle with the strong and cunning invisible enemy plainly showed me how many infirmities, weaknesses, and sinful passions there were in me ,–how strong a hold the prince of this world had over me, and how I had to struggle hard with myself, with my sinful inclinations and habits, and conquer them, so as to be as far as possible invulnerable to the arrows of the enemy.
"The spiritual warfare began, and with it watchfulness over oneself, the sharpening of spiritual sight, teaching oneself uninterrupted secret prayer and the invocation of the All-saving Name of Christ;
"In this warfare I have come to know the immensity of God's long-suffering to us; for He alone knows all the infirmity of our fallen nature, which He mercifully took upon Himself, except for sin (I Peter2:22; Isaiah 53:9; I John 3:5; 4:10; Hebrews 4:15), and therefore He commanded us 'seventy times seven' times to forgive the sins (St. Matt. 18:22) of those who have fallen into them; and He has surrounded and continued to surround me everyday with the joys of salvation from sin in peace and expansion of the heart. The Divine mercy which I have experienced and the perpetual nearness to me of the Lord confirm me in the hope of my eternal salvation and in that of those who follow and hear me to salvation, according to the word of the Scriptures, 'Behold I and the children which God hath given me'" (Heb. 2:13).
St. John's diary, My Life In Christ, has been called a manual of weapon training for this warfare which every Christian must fight in order to reach the heavenly homeland. In the following excerpts from this diary may be seen not only the emphasis which Saint John placed on true prayer as the greatest weapon of every Christian and his deep understanding of the human soul, but also the very practical aspect of his teaching which is of such value to Christians today.
Sometimes during a lengthy prayer only a few minutes are really pleasing to God, and constitute true prayer, true service to Him. The chief thing in prayer is the nearness of the heart to God.
Both public and private prayer are necessary in order that we may lead a truly Christian life, and that the life of the spirit should not become extinct in us. It is indispensable that we should attend divine service in church with faith, zeal and understanding, just as it is indispensable to provide a lamp with fuel or power if it is to burn and not to go out.
The sin of inattention is one to which we are greatly subject; we must not disregard it, but must repent of it. We give ourselves up to it not only at home, but in church as well. Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. The causes of inattention are the Devil, and our manifold attachment to the things of this world; its reason is want of faith; the means to overcome it is fervent prayer.
When praying, we must believe in the power of the words of the prayer, in such a manner as not to separate the words from the deeds they express; we must believe that deeds follow the words, as the shadow follows the body, for the word and the deed of the Lord are indivisible, for He commanded; and they were created (Ps. 148:5). And you must likewise believe that that which you say in the prayer, for which you have asked, will be done. You have praised God, and God has received your praise. You have thanked God, and God has received your thanks as a spiritual fragrance. It is our misfortune that we have little faith, and separate the word from the deed, as the body from the soul, as the form from the contents, as the shadow from the body–that during prayer, as in life, we are sensual, having not the Spirit (Jude 1:19), and therefore our prayers are fruitless.
At the end of your morning and evening prayers in your home, call upon the saints: patriarchs, prophets, apostles, hierarchs, martyrs, confessors, Holy Fathers, the ascetics, the unmercenary, so that seeing in them the realization of every virtue, you may yourself become the imitator of every virtue. Learn from the patriarchs childlike faith and obedience to the Lord; from the prophets and apostles, the zeal for God' s glory and for the salvation of the souls of men; from the hierarchs, zeal to preach God's word, and in general to assist through the Scriptures, to the possible glorification of God's name, to the strengthening 'of faith, hope, and love amongst Christians; from the martyrs and confessors, firmness for the faith and piety before unbelieving and godless people; from the ascetics, to crucify your own flesh, with its passions and desires, to pray and think piously; and from the unmercenary, not to love gain, and to give gratuitous help to the needy.
How can you worthily, with faith and love, receive the Body of Christ when you despise His members or have not compassion upon them? All Christians are members of Christ, and especially the poor. Love His members, have compassion upon them, and the Master will plentifully bestow His rich mercy upon you. And can any mercy be greater than that which our S a v i o u r bestows upon us in the communion of His most pure body and of His most pure blood?
Those who attend the divine service of the Orthodox Church must bear in mind that its purpose is to prepare us for the joyful service of God in heaven; that in serving God with the body, it is still more necessary to serve God with the soul and a pure heart; that in hearing divine service they must learn to serve God as those saints served him, whose lives, and works of faith, hope and love, we hear of during the service; that God should, above all, be served in deed and truth, and not only by words and the tongue.
The Church is the sure way to the life eternal; walk in it undeviatingly, hold fast to it, and you Will gain the' kingdom of heaven; but if you turn aside at the crossways of your own sophistry and unbelief, then you have only yourself to blame, you will go astray and be lost. I am the way, the truth, and the life (St. John 14:6).

Toss Up: e-book readers compared
If you're looking at e-book readers, the Kobo and Amazon's Kindle are the pick of the bunch.
The advantage of a dedicated e-book reader over a smartphone or tablet is that it's easier on the eyes and offers a much longer battery life. This is because e-book readers use e-Ink rather than a backlit screen.
Most e-book readers don't feature a colour screen, so they're fine for reading novels but not so great for magazines. They also require a light to read by, just like a real book. The latest Kindle Touch and Kobo Touch eReader both use touchscreen displays and the onscreen keyboard helps when searching for books.
The key difference between them is how you buy your books. The Kindle taps straight into Amazon's e-book store, via Wi-Fi or mobile broadband, depending on which model you buy. You can also buy e-books via the Amazon website and push them straight to your Kindle. The trade-off is you can't use the Kindle to read e-books from other stores.
Meanwhile, the Kobo lacks mobile broadband access but you can use Wi-Fi to buy e-books. Unfortunately, the built-in store is cumbersome compared with the Kindle's. You can also shop for e-books via the Kobo website or desktop application. Like the Kindle, you can also read your Kobo e-books on a computer, tablet or smartphone.
The verdict
The Kobo isn't as elegant as the Kindle but it offers greater choice. Using Adobe Digital Editions software, you can buy ePub books from practically any online e-book store - except Amazon - and copy them to your Kobo.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 review
Just upgraded from the FX-35 and did quite a few tests yesterday. Overall, the FX-500 is an excellent camera but dollar for dollar you get a little more with the FX-35. That being said, I am selling my FX-35 and keeping the FX-500 (see eBay!) because some small specific differences weigh in favor of the FX-500 for me as a photographer, but not necessarily because the camera is better. There were a few primary issues I want to mention between the two cameras though.
First, the FX-500 is noticeably larger than the FX-35. I know specs are specs, but just the weight and feel make it larger and it is less comfortable in a shirt pocket. The bonus is that for those of us with larger hands it is more comfortable to use without always hitting buttons with your thumb. Second, the lens is not quite as wide as the FX-35. This could be a number of factors, but since we know the chip processes not only noise but some optical distortions (try comparing the RAW and JPEG versions of a few Lumix camera images!) this could be post processing by the chip. I would guess the FX-500 is about a 25.5mm or 26mm wide angle compared to the FX-35. That, or the FX-35 is a 24.5mm
The most disappointing aspect of the FX-500 is that the images are not quite as good as the FX-35. Look close, mainly in low light. I notice significantly more noise artifact in the FX-500 images compared to the FX-35 in all ISO's. This make sense since the FX-500 has a much larger screen sitting right behind the chip and more electronics. I am sure the FX-500 generates more electronics noise from this fact alone and that has to be processed out. Luckily, the FX-500 has many more manual controls and you can adjust contrast, sharpness and noise reduction and little. Still, making as many adjustments as I could I could not get the same quality out of the FX-500 that I could get out of the FX-35. Let me stress that this image difference is small and only available to Pixel Peepers when you zoom in 100%, but it is noticeable. So, if you shoot wide and hope you can later crop in to get the image you want you will do better with the FX-500 to frame tight to reduce the amount of cropping.
Those were the largest issues I saw, but let me say the build quality is excellent as it always is with Lumix cameras. The menus are intuitive and the touch screen works wonderfully (even with a screen protector on the LCD). I think the actual number of items the touch screen is useful for is smaller than the number of things you can actually do with it, but for those things it is nice. The focus control is sweet, changing modes and scenes is quicker and easier and things like the playback control for movies now offer you real buttons on the screen which is very intuitive.
When you compare the fact that the FX-500 has more manual controls, a larger LCD, fancy gadget points for the touch screen and a slightly longer lens at 125mm, I decided to stick with it. This is also because I got one on eBay for about $350. If you are not really going to play with the gadgets on this camera that much and want a pocketable point and shoot with excellent, amazing optics, pick the FX-35. If you want a little more manual control, some sweet gadget novelty with the touch screen and perhaps a slightly longer lens and don't mind spending $100 more, get the FX-500. I decided on the FX-500 but really I am just waiting for a new and improved upgrade for my FZ-18! (I want a 10M chip and fancier processor, other than that I love the FZ-18!)
Two last notes: the rubberized case feel of the FX-35 is more secure in your hand in some ways and I really miss that on the FX-500. Also, the FX-500 seems to eat batteries a little faster. (makes sense though, expected...)
1. longer zoom range nice
2. larger, heavier body easier to hold for large hands
3. intuitive touch screen, fast & easy
1. more chip noise than FX-35, but manageable
2. larger heavier body less pocketable
3. costs $100 more than FX-35 for minor upgrades
4. battery life a little shorter than FX-35

Gun regulations in Cuomo's sights
Governor meets with IDC members, whose support he will need
Published 9:37 pm, Friday, January 4, 2013
ALBANY – Gov. Andrew Cuomo is lining up support for what will almost certainly be Job No.1 of the 2013 legislative session – enacting a gun control package.
The governor has already met privately with leaders of the Senate Democrats and on Friday he met with the five-member Independent Democratic Conference, whose support will likely be needed to pass any contentious measure in the closely divided Senate.
By bringing IDC members to Albany, Cuomo appeared to be putting pressure on Republican lawmakers.
"We need to do it in January ... as quickly as possible," IDC leader Jeff Klein said following Friday's private meeting between conference members and Cuomo in the governor's chambers.
The ability to rapidly pass gun control legislation is widely viewed as a test of how the new GOP-IDC Senate coalition will share leadership when the session starts next week.
While stressing that details of the bill Cuomo wants to bring forward aren't finalized, Klein said there would likely be a ban on assault-style weapons such as the Bushmaster rifle used in the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Twenty children and six women were slain.
"We need a real assault weapon ban," Klein said, adding that one approach would be to limit the number of rounds that a weapon's magazine can hold. He also spoke of tougher background checks for people who purchase guns, including a more thorough look at the purchaser's mental health.
Prior to Friday's meeting, Cuomo also met with Senate Democratic leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Michael Gianaris, Neil Breslin and Jose Peralta.
A spokesman for the Democratic conference, Mike Murphy, said members "look forward to getting this done almost immediately."
With the Assembly's majority Democrats' long record of support for gun control measures, the main roadblock to tougher gun laws has been resistance from Senate Republicans.
But Senate staffers have also been meeting with the governor's people for the past several weeks.
They favor a "comprehensive approach," said spokesman Scott Reif, which would include tougher penalties for gun crimes and illegal weapon possession and more thorough mental health checks.
The governor on Friday may also have been courting the IDC, whose members traveled from across the state to the Capitol.
With the Senate closely split between Democrats and Republicans and the IDC aligning with the GOP to lead the chamber, their support could be essential in close votes.

Worker killed when wall collapses in Cherry Hill
A contracting employee is dead following the collapse of a wall at a building being demolished in Cherry Hill on Friday afternoon, according to several reports.
NBC 10 reports the collapse took place at the old Blockbuster Video store on Route 38 in the Wal-mart Plaza and that everyone else at the job site is accounted for.
Cherry Hill Fire Director Patrick Kelly says the building was almost fully demolished already but the last section of it fell on top of the worker. He says the worker likely died instantly. A person operating a backhoe and another worker were uninjured.
Kelly says the contractor had all the necessary permits to demolish the building. The identity of the contractor hasn't been disclosed.
The store is being torn down to make way for a new Wawa store.

Woodworking projects are fun and relaxing. Using planer reviews to decide which tool to buy can be very helpful. You want to choose the product that will work for you for a long time so you want to be sure you are buying quality. When you pick one that will work for a variety of things you will put yourself ahead in the long run.
A variety of tasks can be performed with electric planers that sit on a bench. Some models and brands are better than others, but you want to make sure you stay within your budget. If you do not use the tool frequently you can probably select a lower priced model that will work just fine.
These tools are intended to smooth the surface of the wood by removing a thin strip. They cut into the surface and take a uniform sized piece off leaving a smooth place behind. When doing woodworking projects of any kind, these are very helpful.
In addition they can be useful for smoothing out rough patches on the wood. For large projects they will reduce the amount of sanding you will have to do by hand. It is important to keep in mind that these are intended for large areas, so smaller corners will need to be smoothed by hand.
The price range is dramatic on these for various models. It will be a selection that is based on your needs and the budget you have planned for this tool. As mentioned earlier, if you do not use the tool often you can probably get a lower priced model that will suit you fine.
This tool is intended for use on a bench top, not as a hand tool exactly. They are electric powered and will require an electrical outlet close by. With any tools of this nature it is best not to use an extension cord if you can avoid it.
For those looking for a good planer, we would like to point you towards the Bosch planer, which is going to help you complete that job.
