Ok. So I am not exactly on the ball with my resolve to "post more often". But let's give a girl a little room to warm up shall we? I promise (oh fate-tempting word that…promise!) to do my utmost to gain momentum this month! Meanwhile, let me go ahead and progress on the "using more leftovers" front.
One of the most common holiday leftovers is ham. Even a dyed-in-the-wool pork lover like me finds herself on the other side of the holiday season with just little too much ham for comfort, and a spouse that is flatly refusing to have anything to do with it. Well, well, well, I wasn't going to let a perfectly good last bit of smoked and cured pork go to waste, even in the face of of doubting husbands and laments of no-please-not-another-ham-sandwich! And I think I may just have found the perfect way to revivify it.
This is, without a doubt, up down and sideways, my kind of dish. I love cabbage. LOVE. Seriously. I can eat cabbage til the cows come home. I haven't a clue why it has earned a bad reputation in certain circles. I will eat it in all manners of preparation and then some. But gently simmered in cream? With tender-toasty bits of ham infusing everything in a robust porky smokiness? Punctuated with sweet apple chucks all throughout? And a sly undercurrent of mustard giving the whole dish a saucy tang? Now that's a whole different world of cabbage pleasures altogether (and believe you me, I am very familiar with the cabbage pleasure world, as exotic as it may sound to some). In fact, I liked it so much that, despite this dish being what I first thought to be a clever vessel for some leftovers, I would go so far as to actually buy ham to make it! And that's not all…if you don't have any leftover ham, or any ham in general for that matter, you can make this with (wait for it) bacon! Oh yes.
Creamed Cabbage with Ham
- Olive oil
- 1 white onion, sliced into half-moons
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup chopped ham
- 1/2 an apple, peeled and chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 head of cabbage (about 500 grams), shredded or thinly sliced
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup cream
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Nutmeg (optional)
– Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a pan large enough to accommodate all the cabbage.
– When the oil is hot add onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
– Add the ham and sauté until the edges are a bit toasty, then add the apple and toss.
– Add the cabbage and cook until cabbage softens, tossing to make sure everything is cooking evenly.
– When cabbage is soft add the cream and mustard and stir to coat everything. Let this simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the cream can pick up all the flavors in the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
– If you'd like (and I do recommend it!) add a few good gratings of nutmeg.
– Serves 4.
We had this as a side dish with some steak (oof…steak and creamed cabbage…not exactly New Year detox I know!), but I could have this on its own or with some hot white rice, or tossed with some freshly cooked penne, or even piled atop a thick slice of toasted country bread. Yes, I'd have this any which way and twice on Sundays thank you very much. The quantity for the ham is very flexible – I used what leftovers I had and so can you. Like I mentioned, you can substitute the ham with bacon, but I would suggest using less bacon than the amount of ham I indicated…maybe around 3-4 strips chopped.
If you are a cabbage-hater, firstly, why? Secondly, please try this. It's a New Year and time to try new things. Give old foes a chance to make amends. And it will give you something to do with the leftover ham that stares balefully at you every time you open the fridge.
Some News!!! I mentioned earlier that, in line with my resolution to explore new ways to share food with all of you this New Year, I have a special surprise in Yummy Magazine's January/February 2011 issue (in news stands now!)…My own column! Yummy Magazine has always been one of my favorite local food publications and I have written for them a number of times before, so when they asked me to write a regular column I was thrilled…not to mention giddily flattered! I'll be sharing simple everyday dishes from my Family Kitchen every month 🙂 Hope you like them!

News Release
Statement by US Labor Secretary Perez on Senate's minimum wage vote
WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez released the following statement after the Senate's vote on the Harkin-Reid-Merkley legislation that would have raised the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour:
"Today, a minority of U.S. senators blocked a minimum wage increase that a strong majority of the American people supports. In so doing, they have rejected a long bipartisan tradition of rewarding hard work with a fair wage.
"No one who works full time in the United States should have to raise their family in poverty. But that is exactly the situation for millions of people barely surviving on as little as $7.25 per hour. Life is a daily struggle for these workers who want nothing more than the dignity of a paycheck that can support their families. Too many of them are forced to rely on public assistance just to get by.
"Raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would benefit 28 million workers. And, as I've seen in my travels across the country, many employers see higher wages as an investment that makes good business sense. Raising the federal minimum wage is the right thing to do for our workers and the smart thing to do for our economy.
"On behalf of minimum wage workers in their states, I hope that senators who opposed moving forward on this bill will reconsider their position. It's time to give America a raise — a raise our workers need, a raise they've earned, a raise they deserve."

By Tate Hawkins, Ole Miss Athletics Media Relations
In case you missed it, or you've been focused on the winter sports, Ole Miss Baseball is already five weeks into the 2016 season. After an 8-2 win over UT Martin on Tuesday, the Diamond Rebels are 20-2, tying its best 22-game start in program history.
The Rebels roll into the second weekend of SEC play and the first at Swayze after winning nine of their last 10 ballgames. Ole Miss sits in the top 10 of all six major college baseball rankings across the country, sitting as high as sixth in the Collegiate Baseball national poll and making them one of four SEC teams in the top 10.
Ole Miss got off to its hot start early by winning seven of the first eight games in Oxford, including a sweep over Florida International, taking two-of-three against then-No. 2 Louisville, as well as midweek wins against Arkansas State and Memphis. Then, the Rebels went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to participate in the 2016 Chanticleer Classic, winning all 3 of their games. Ole Miss posted victories over Ball State, then-No. 18 Coastal Carolina, and Cincinnati outscoring the three opponents a combined 22-6.
Following the weekend road trip, it was back home to Swayze where the Rebs would continue their winning ways by picking up sweeps over Southeast Missouri and Grambling State, taking a 12-game win streak into the first weekend of SEC play.
Ole Miss opened conference play by taking two-of-three from the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville, winning on Saturday and Sunday and bringing their record to 19-2. The Rebels followed the victorious weekend with a midweek win over UT Martin.
The impressive start has been accredited to masterful pitching and hot hitting. The Ole Miss pitching staff boasts a club ERA of 2.42 led by weekend starters Brady Bramlett (2.03), Chad Smith (3.91), and Sean Johnson (1.96). The bullpen features relievers David Parkinson (1.35), Dallas Woolfolk (0.00) and Andy Pagnozzi (2.42), and closer Wyatt Short (0.87) who has five saves. The Rebel hitters are led by Tate Blackman (.347, 2 HR, 21 RBI), Henri Lartigue (.339, 1 HR, 9 RBI), Colby Bortles (.329, 3 HR, 19 RBI) and J.B. Woodman (.325, 4 HR, 21 RBI). The Rebels have put 20 baseballs over the walls for homers, led by J.B. Woodman and Cameron Dishon who both have hit four dingers of their own.
This weekend, the Rebels host the 20-2 South Carolina
Gamecocks, who are ranked as high as No. 10, for their first home SEC series of
the year. The three-game slate is set for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in
observance of the Easter Sunday holiday. So dye your Easter Eggs fast and
postpone the egg hunt to Sunday because the baseball needs the support of Rebel
Nation for this weekend's big top-10 matchup. Pack Swayze and be ready for the bottom of the fifth...

Good Samaritan trips man running from police
An unknown good Samaritan saw officers chasing a man and put her foot out to trip him
An unknown good Samaritan saw officers chasing a man and put her foot out to trip him
A good Samaritan helped police take a man fleeing officers into custody in a Pittsburgh neighborhood early Sunday morning.
According to a criminal complaint, officers were attempting to take Jemere Pearson into custody after seeing him with a rolled joint of marijuana and finding he had active warrants out for his arrest.
As officers were placing handcuffs on Pearson, he spun around, elbowed an officer and yanked the officer to the ground while a handcuff was on one hand and the officer was attempting to gain control.
According to the complaint, four officers chased Pearson down a street in the South Side neighborhood of the city.
At an intersection, the unknown good Samaritan saw officers chasing Pearson and put her foot out to trip him.
Officers took Pearson into custody as he screamed obscenities about the woman who tripped him.
Three women, identified as Geraye Pittrell, Teja Massie and Corasia Jordan-Monk, followed officers during the pursuit, reportedly yelling at them.
The three women were transported to the Allegheny County Jail. Pearson was taken to Mercy hospital then also transported to Allegheny County Jail.

MEDFORD, Mass. - The women's track team placed fourth of 19 teams on Saturday at the Tufts Indoor Invitational. The Engineers did not win any events but had a solid day overall and finished with 53 points. The host Jumbos won the invitational with 157 points, while UMass Lowell was close behind with 153. MIT did notch a few second place finishes on the day.
Freshman Jennifer Doyle placed second in the 5000 meter run with a time of 18:43.22. Ithaca senior Anastasia Kasianchuk completed the 5k run in 18:34.30. Sophomore Lauren McCarthy also placed in the event, finishing 6th.
Sophomore Aline Thomas nabbed second place in the weight throw. Her toss of 14.04 meters was shy of the 15.68 meter heave by Worcester State's Nicole McKeon. Thomas also picked up points in the shot put with a seventh place finish.
The 4x800 meter relay was another bright spot for MIT. The Engineers finished the race in 9:51.30, good enough for fourth place. The Jumbos were victorious in the relay with a final time of 9:36.47.
The highlight event of the day for the Engineers was the pole vault. Junior Christine Fanchiang and freshman Emily Hwang finished second and third with vaults of 3.22 and 2.92 meters. Only senior Jane Farrell of Brandeis bested MIT's duo with a 3.59 meter mark.
In addition to the eight points she earned in the pole vault, Fanchiang garnered one in the 55 meter hurdles and one in the long jump. She placed eight in both events.
Junior Rachel Niehuus (800 meter run), sophomore Leanne Veldhuis (400 meter run) and freshman Elizabeth Finn (1 mile run) each contributed three points for MIT with six place finishes. Freshman Adrienne Bolger was right behind Finn in the one mile run and took seventh place.
The Engineers are back in action on Saturday, February 11 when they host the Coed Invitational. The competition will begin at 12:00 p.m.

danstuart needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 13 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
We are launching a contest on our own site for video producers, artists, amateurs and housewives to create a video based on our script. We need a microsite for this contest that appeals to designers and excites their participation.
check the logo here: http://www.bayt.com
As part of our ongoing site redesign we are addressing a significant need -
job seeker confusion about our role in the hiring process - by soliciting videos from our users that provides an overview of our role. This video will feature
prominently on the main page of Bayt.com and on the page that confirms
a job seeker's application to a vacancy. We have a script, but we need someone to help us say it.
For this contest we need a microsite and I want to see your progressive, slick skills.
- a microsite to serve as the home for this contest- this microsite will NOT have to maintain the look and feel of bayt.com
- the target audience is video producers both pro and amateur - the site MUST appeal to them
- the microsite must be of a quality that inspires confidence in the contest and excites participation = very professional yet extremely creative and "MODERN" (insert web2.0 cliche here)
- size depends on the design and doesn't have to fill the browser window
- clean design - we like whites, greys, steel blues, etc but do what you think is best
- menu tabs: intro, brief, legal, faq's, submission, showcase (the page size will have to accomodate these other content pages - so consider a design that will allow room to post and stream submitted videos)
- our logo
- a placeholder for a sponsor (logo + tagline)
- a placeholder for a video (youtube video dimensions) that will be a video intro to the contest to support the text below...do what you think is best and I appreciate your comments/rationale if you want to scrap the video
- intro page text:

We looked into
international production companies, local companies, hiring new staff,

coffee – because we love him...
...but what hit us
is that the solution may be right in front of us. With over 1,000,000 unique

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Wednesday, June 20, 2012) – The Colorado Rapids removed Jamie Smith from the Disabled List on Wednesday, and the midfielder is now eligible to play in tonight's match against the San Jose Earthquakes. The Scottish midfielder suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during the playoffs last season, and had been out eight months as he recovered.
Smith, 31, has appeared in 46 regular season matches (starting 37) for the Rapids since joining the team in the middle of the 2009 season, and has four goals and 13 assists in his MLS career. During his recovery, Smith played in two Reserve Team matches for the Rapids, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Kansas City on June 9, and adding an assist in a 2-2 draw with Houston on May 23.
In another roster move, the Rapids waived Kohei Yamada, Colorado's third round selection in the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft. The Japanese midfielder, 23, did not play a first team match with the Rapids, and had appeared in six Reserve Team games (starting 3).
"Kohei is a good young player who worked hard in his time with us," said Colorado Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. "We wish him all the best as he takes the next step in his career."
The Rapids host the San Jose Earthquakes tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. For more information on the club, or to purchase tickets, visit www.ColoradoRapids.com or call 303-825-GOAL.

Carbon Fibre/kevlar Zaurus Body, Feeler for interest
Carbon Fibre/kevlar Zaurus Body, Feeler for interest

Greetings. I am new to the forum with the purchase of my new SL-C1k from Conics. I am trying to gauge interest in customized composite body replacements for the clamshell design. Since I own a 1k and the body style is common amongst 1k-3200, I have decided to do only this model as a pilot. I will be investigating into either a full kevlar/CF and epoxy resin replacement body to fit your Z, hand molded from my own.
I also have a connection for vinyl auto graphics who has agreed to provide customized logos at a very fair price (<$5 per iteration). This means that your choice of graphics at approximately $5 per color will be laser cut and placed directly on the composite body before it is coated in a gloss epoxy resin. This will give a very clean and professional look to your Zaurus, and is far, far more durable than the plastic outer casing. You will also experience a degree of weight savings over the plastic/metalic bodies.
At this time I am modeling only the top screen portion and the bottom cover of the case, to include the battery cover. The inner case (keyboard surround) is outside my ability to produce to a high degree of accuracy, but can be done on a custom basis for a larger amount of cash if you're composite obsessed
Carbon fiber is available in a number of colors, but I will be using the standard carbon pattern that you see on performance cars, etc. The kevlar is standard tan/creme color, and looks quite industrial. Kevlar will be cheaper as it is easier to work with, and less material expense.
I'm shooting to keep the cost under $100 for the complete carbon body set, or kevlar. This is of little or no profit to me, but gives me some nice experience in working with the materials. Please let me know if this sort of arrangement would be of interest to you. Also in the works may be a molded, exact form fitting case for the clamshell 1000 and beyond series. Again, at a cost of less than $100 if possible, including a custom graphic. The case material is strong enough to withstand being thrown at a brick wall by a pro baseball player and will be padded to withstand the most clumsy zaurus user. Oh, and waterproof, and floating. And with less bulk and weight than a leather case (which is only about $25 less than my target price for real carbon fiber!)
Keep in mind though, carbon fiber is in a general shortage right now due to Airbus, Boeing, and the US's lust for carbon fighter aircraft >.>
So, these prices are totally tentative.

I think if you do build one and show the quality, you'll probably get more responses. I for one would love to see it.

Well buying a sample amount of material is very expensive. I just want to know how many people would be interested, so I can buy bulk. Of course I'm not stupid enough to ask anyone to commit to anything before theres a product, but I just would like to know who would be interested in a high quality composite replacement. For now just respond as if it were perfect product ;P
I'll always have a use for carbon, so its not like I'm wasting my money buying a roll if nobody actually grabs one

If the pics are good i would buy one
What i am looking for:
Slightly larger internal capacity
Redesighned outer body (i need one or 2 groves to allow a docking station to click in and stay held, see sig)
Prefrebly the keyboard area as well (can be normal plastic, may be able to get that made see slashdot (http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/25/2054200)
i dropped my case and chiped the paint on a conner as well as denting it, at the moment i estimate it would cost me $100 AUD to replace with a c3100 case (i hate the white)
as soon as you have good quality pics of a good product then i will buy one

The problem with the keyboard surround is that it is quite difficult to machine 50+ tiny holes to exact accuracy. Although it would look very cool, it would be extremely difficult to make consistent productions of that detail. As to body modifications, if you can create a mold out of a non-expanding modeling material, it is relatively simple to lay the product to your specifications. I'll give it a week or so before I put in my material order to see what the deal is.
I've done numerous automotive components of equal or greater detail to the Z, but that keyboard area is just too much of a pain to justify doing at the target pricepoint. The goal is to make a rugged exterior that you can simply take some auto paint compound to when it becomes scratched or dull, and restore it to new. Also, it will look very cool! I am casting my molds tonight if I have the time
If you can source the keyboard elsewhere, that would probably be your best decision. I don't think you'll find a vendor who is willing to do a composite faceplate unless they are using a very expenisve CNC machine to cut extremely accurate holes after the epoxy binding has been cured.
Edit: I've been getting some questions as to installation. If this goes down, I will be providing the *parts*, to be installed by the end user. As I've mentioned previously I don't have a safe, clean, static free environment to be doing that sort of work, and I'm risking my own Z just by leaving it out naked on my desk
But, the case doesnt seem all that difficult to disassemble so far, so I doubt it will give you any issues.

I am interested too. Even better if it is "modified" to include a bit of extra space for electronic (internal) add-ons.
I'd love to see a SL-6000 version as well.

I always have liked how people are so paranoid about static, i have dropped the bare board on the carpet and watched it slide with no ill effects
the enviroment can play a huge part in static buildup, a slightly mosit enviroment can keep static to a minimum, but i guess most people dont want to risk a device like this like i do ]
installation cant be that hard if its the same procedure as taking off the case
about the case size mdoification and extra groves for a docking station, would you be able do do the molds or would i have to, i dont mind modifing the standard case by extendeding the top of the bottom half and placing groves along the outside, however i would much prefer a more angular case that meshes to the top of the doking staion better
somthing a bit more rectangular, should i just contact you directly?

Jyoti Kapoor is a Certified Facilitator of Access Consciousness Bars, Licenced Practioner of Access Consciousness Body Processes and Face Lift, Pranic healer and Empowerment & Transformation Coach.
Empowerment and consciousness coach, counsellor in alternative healing. she is a Certified Access Consciousness Bars Facilitator and Body Process Facilitator. Being a mother and a coach she realized the importance of life skills and learning in kids and adults.
Whether it's your own health behaviors or the way you treat other people, your children are learning from what you do. Don't just react on the spur of the moment. Ask yourself, What do I want to accomplish, and is this likely to produce that result?"
"It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love.What we often think of as the product of spoiling a child is never the result of showing a child too much love. It is usually the consequence of giving a child things in place of love -- things like leniency, lowered expectations, or material possessions."
"Being an involved parent takes time and is hard work, and it often means rethinking and rearranging your priorities. It frequently means sacrificing what you want to do for what your child needs to do. Be there mentally as well as physically."
Keep pace with your child's development. Your child is growing up. Consider how age is affecting the child's behavior.
If you don't manage your child's behavior when he is young, he will have a hard time learning how to manage himself when he is older and you aren't around. Any time of the day or night, you should always be able to answer these three questions: Where is my child? Who is with my child? What is my child doing? The rules your child has learned from you are going to shape the rules he applies to himself.
"Setting limits helps your child develop a sense of self-control. Encouraging independence helps her develop a sense of self-direction. To be successful in life, she's going to need both."
"If your rules vary from day to day in an unpredictable fashion or if you enforce them only intermittently, your child's misbehavior is your fault, not his. Your most important disciplinary tool is consistency. Identify your non-negotiables. The more your authority is based on wisdom and not on power, the less your child will challenge it."
Parents should never hit a child, under any circumstances. Children who are spanked, hit, or slapped are more prone to fighting with other children," he writes. "They are more likely to be bullies and more likely to use aggression to solve disputes with others."
"Good parents have expectations they want their child to live up to,. "Generally, parents overexplain to young children and underexplain to adolescents. What is obvious to you may not be evident to a 12-year-old. He doesn't have the priorities, judgment, or experience that you have."
"The best way to get respectful treatment from your child is to treat him respectfullys. You should give your child the same courtesies you would give to anyone else. Speak to him politely. Respect his opinion. Pay attention when he is speaking to you. Treat him kindly. Try to please him when you can. Children treat others the way their parents treat them. Your relationship with your child is the foundation for her relationships with others."

In December of 1982, a gift was received by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America which was destined to change the very nature of some of the exciting programs offered by the Florida Sea Base. The gift was an untouched, uninhabited island over 100 acres in size, surrounded by the crystal clear water off Big Pine Key in the lower Keys.
On the entire string of islands called the Florida Keys, there are but a few that remain as they were when the pirates first rowed ashore in search of fresh water and game to provision their galleons. This island shows up on old nautical charts as Newfound Harbor Key, and on newer charts as Big Munson Key.
It is located three miles offshore from US 1, and a mere four miles inshore from Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, known for some of the most fabulous reef formations found in the Keys. Sea Base has committed to retain this island in its natural state. Lightweight screened tents, cooking gear and other necessary equipment is provided by Sea Base, but all personal gear, food, and water must be waded ashore for your stay.
Located in Islamorada and on Summerland Key in the beautiful Florida Keys, Marsh Harbour, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas, and in the U.S. Virgin Islands the near shore reefs and crystal-clear waters offer unparalleled opportunities for long term and short term programs year round. Our Conference facilities are utilized for youth and adult Scouting Conferences and non-Scouting groups when available.

Summer is back on my island. Or what I like to think of as my island, when in reality I live in a city at least a couple of hours from the nearest beach…even more if you are looking for the pristine shores you see in travel magazines. That being said, I am still a part of this archipelago and thusly take island life as my birthright. As I take tropical island fruits as my birthright.
Mangoes, bananas, mangosteens, guavas, papayas, chicos, rambutans, jack fruit, star apples, and pineapples…I love them all. Sweet, creamy, or juicy…they tell tales of warm sunny days and clear blue skies under which they basked with nary a care in the world. When the weather turns steamy, as it is unapologetically doing right at this minute, my thoughts and my market basket turns to these fine specimens of the tropics.
Mangoes, as I have already mentioned, are at the top of my list. I thank God every day that I live amongst the finest. Pineapples are a close second – its toe-curling sweetness and sticky juiciness heralds summer in with pomp and promise. Even succeeding in distracting me from the heat for the few glorious moments I am enjoying it. My favorite way to have pineapples is the same as with mangoes – straight from the fridge. There is nothing quite like chilled tropical fruit on a hot hot HOT summer day.
Although this isn't bad either…
Brown Sugar Roasted Pineapple
- 1 small pineapple
- about 4 tablespoons brown sugar (I used demerara sugar with large crystals)
– Slice your pineapple as I did here, but leave the slices thick.
– Lay pineapple slices on a baking sheet or pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. Depending on the size of your pineapple, and your penchant for sweets, you may need more or less.
– Roast in a 200C oven for about 20-30 minutes or until edges are caramelized.
I know roasting fruit in the heat of our Philippine summer seems counter intuitive, and adding sweetness to an already perfectly sweet fruit may seem pointless, but hear me out. Sometimes one needs variety, even in the blinding heat of summer when all you want is to lay still with cold wet towels all over your body. Yes, I know that eating pineapple straight from the fridge is all you can fathom doing right now. But just try…try to get your flip-flopped feet to the oven and give this a go. It is too easy to even warrant a recipe, even if I did try to eke one out for you here. It is infinitely adaptable and forgiving (use as much or as little sugar as you want, use less or more than a whole pineapple, grab that bottle of rum and add a splash). And when you pile a couple of caramelized slices in a bowl with some vanilla ice cream you will be glad you took the little effort it takes to make this 🙂
If you are one of my co-islanders, hang on, as this is looking to be one of our hottest summers yet! If you are on the other side of world, perhaps in a place where it is as cold as it is hot over here, I'll trade you some of this pineapple for a box of fresh snow!

Tottenham's Dembele out of Arsenal derby
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele has been ruled out of Saturday's North London derby against Arsenal with a hip injury.
"Dembele does not have a chance, not for this game. There is a 50 percent chance he will be back for the Lazio game [in the Europa League]," Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas told reporters at the club's training ground in Enfield, North London, on Thursday.
Belgian Dembele, who joined Spurs from Fulham in August and made an immediate positive impact on the team, has missed the club's last eight games because of the problem.
Right-back Kyle Walker, striker Jermain Defoe and winger Aaron Lennon all picked up hamstring injuries in last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City although Spurs hope they will be available for the short trip to Emirates Stadium.
Younes Kaboul, Scott Parker and Benoit Assou-Ekotto remain sidelined with injuries as Spurs seek to end a run of two successive league defeats to Wigan Athletic and City which has seen them slip from fourth to seventh.
Spurs won 3-2 at Arsenal two seasons ago after being 2-0 down, then lost 5-2 there last season after being 2-0 up and Villas-Boas said he was looking forward to his first north London derby and believes the gap between Spurs and Arsenal is closing.
However he said the Gunners' record of Champions League qualification and three Premier League titles still gives them the edge when the clubs' recent history is compared, although Arsenal have won only four of the last 11 League meetings between them.
"I think we are certainly getting nearer in terms of what we are doing for the club," said the manager.
"This is a game in which the passion is extremely high, it's a game that represents three points in the league but represents more than that in the history of North London derbies."
Arsenal are currently below Spurs in the table, but have finished higher than them in every season since 1995.
Last season, when Spurs had a big points advantage over Arsenal, they still failed to finish above them, ending in fourth spot while Arsenal were third.
That cost Spurs a place in this season's Champions League when Chelsea won the final. Although they finished sixth, Chelsea took the fourth England spot, bumping Spurs into the Europa League.
Villas-Boas said Spurs must finish above them this season.
When asked if that was a realistic target, Villas-Boas said: "We have to. By what I see in the Premiership, it's obvious that Man United, Man City and Chelsea are running towards the title.
"We are looking at trying to shorten the gap and not letting it grow."

Money and Marriage: Tips to Achieve Financial Happiness
Fights over finances are a commonly known cause of stress and divorce, and a new survey indicates that while the average couple fights over money five times a year, they discuss finances reasonably fewer than two times a month. Every couple knows there are some topics you just don't bring up - his mother's dreadful cooking, your uncle's bad manners. Money, however, should never be among those subjects you don't discuss - especially if you're planning your wedding.
"In today's economy, it's rare that a couple enters matrimony debt-free," notes Carrie Braxdale, managing director of investor services for TD Ameritrade, Inc. ("TD Ameritrade"), a broker-dealer subsidiary of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation. "Yet many newly engaged couples may be as hesitant - or even more so - to discuss finances as couples who have been together for years. They can get a jump-start on a lifetime of wedded bliss, however, if they take time to talk frankly about finances before they walk down the aisle."
The survey conducted by TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation and LearnVest, found that couples today face three top concerns when it comes to their finances: Not having enough money to retire (27 percent), not having enough money to live as they wish (25 percent), and not having enough money to even live comfortably (24 percent).
Trust over money also emerged as a big issue. Forty percent of respondents do not completely trust their partner to manage their combined finances. Just over one in five (21 percent) admit they sometimes hide their spending from their partner. Thirty-eight percent say they are either unaware or only partially aware of their mate's debts. Perhaps they feel that ignorance is bliss.
Braxdale offers some advice to couples looking to take control of their finances and learn to talk effectively about money:
* Be open about debt before you say "I do." Keeping secrets about how much you each owe on student loans, credit cards or auto loans is no way to start off a marriage. While talking about money might not be the most romantic conversation you ever have with your intended, it's one of the most important.
* Check your credit scores. You'll both keep your own score after you're married, but purchases you make as a couple afterward - like a house or car - can be affected by both your scores. Check your scores at least once a year; doing so can help you catch and correct errors or fraud, and help you better manage your credit and overall finances.
* More people are marrying later in life, so one or both partners may enter the union with a 401(k), IRA or other investment accounts. It's important to discuss long-term retirement savings goals, and understand how you both plan to manage these accounts. Websites like TD Ameritrade's Life 2.0 and Retirement Planning can help by offering access to free resources like retirement calculators and portfolio planners. You'll also find information on making financial decisions that can help you meet your financial goals, whether you're just starting out in your life together, growing your family or approaching your retirement years.
* Get to know each other's saving and spending habits. One partner may be frugal and the other more of a spender, but arguments don't have to be inevitable. You'll need to discuss your habits and work together to find spending and saving solutions that work best for both of you, and for your shared financial goals.
* Build a budget that incorporates savings goals, income and expenses. Discuss whether combined or separate bank accounts make the most sense for you, and be sure your financial goals are in sync.
"Open discussions about money, credit, retirement savings and financial health are an important step toward a healthy relationship," Braxdale says.

PCB Business Card
I've been seeing a lot of printed circuit board (PCB) business cards on the internet these days, particularly on hackaday, so I decided to jump on the nerd bandwagon and make my own. I searched google images for inspiration and found this one, which I thought looked pretty awesome. So I copied the general layout, but with a few minor changes. First, I designed my own circuit using a Propeller chip, 8 0603 (very small) LED's, and a surface mount (SMT) battery holder. Second, instead of having white text on a black solder mask, I put the QR code and text on the solder mask layer. That way, the silver board will subtly show through from underneath.
I put the order in to Gold Phoenix last week. I choose their normal 155 in2 deal. It's a really good price - without any option it's $110. In my case, I ordered their thinnest PCB material, and added black solder mask. The total came out to $130 with shipping to the US. Expensive business cards at $6 each, but I don't anticipate handing out too many and it would have cost way more if I had ordered them from an American company.
Here's the board as sent to Gold Phoenix.
As for the circuit, it really is overkill. I'm not actually going to be able to afford to populate the boards, but as long as I didn't make any errors, it should work. The the propeller chip is $8, and all the other parts added to the price of the bare board will bring this card to almost $18.
Download the Eagle Cad files.
Just came in the mail from Gold Phoenix. They came out better than I was expecting. I'm glad I went with exposed silver, instead of silkscreen, for the text and QR code. However, it's a bit difficult to read under uneven lighting conditions.
I now take back what I said about not using silkscreen for the QR code. I still like the look of the silver text, but if anyone wants to do this I suggest you put your QR code on the silkscreen layer. I tested it with two different iPhone models, and both had a hard time reading the QR due to reflections.
Also, I failed to mention how great of job Gold Phoenix did on the board. I have no affiliation with them, by the way, I'm just impressed with their work. A few board have some missing silkscreen for the part names, and there are a few pin-sized holes in the back solder mask on a handful of board. But, the black solder mask is awesome looking; the photo I took doesn't do it justice. Very glossy. Until I solder up some cards, I have no opinion of their etching abilities, but from what I've heard they do a good job with an acceptable percentage of boards with electrical errors.
I love to buy American, but these Chinese made boards are an order of magnitude cheaper than anything I could get made here. And from submitting my order to receiving the FedEx package was just a hair over two weeks.

Well, sign me up! I would love to help the efforts to expand device support, but at this point I'm personally blocked by the fact that I have already bought four tuners in the last year, combined with the lack of actual documentation which results in it taking *way* longer than it has to. Sure, I got all four of them to work which is progress, but it would have gone much faster if the docs were available to me and I wasn't laying out my own cash to buy tuners I have no personal use for. I've spent all this time to learn the codebase and I'd like to leverage that knowledge more, but now I have to ask myself, "What am I going to do with four tuners?" Devin -- Devin J.

Katy Perry, 'Wide Awake' – Song Review
Katy Perry has spawned another single, this time in the form of 'Wide Awake,' which was written expressly for her upcoming 3D film 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' and appears on the deluxe edition of 'Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.' It's an emotional and melancholy song, infused with synths, that we can't help but think has been influenced by her split with Russell Brand.
Perry sings "I wish I knew then / What I know now / Wouldn't dive in / Wouldn't bow down / Gravity hurts / Made it so sweet / Till I woke up / On the concrete / Falling from cloud nine / Crashing from the high / I'm letting go tonight." That's telling, no?
The song has a slow to mid tempo, with Perry's voice taking the lead. Her voice is surrounded by an acoustic guitar and some echoed harmonies, but having Perry take the lead keeps the song immediate.
Perry manages to empower the song without belting, thanks to the emotion with which she sings. It'd be impossible to think her split with Brand doesn't factor into the lyrics and the mood of the song. While her songs always have inherent cuteness, this is a more introspective Katy Perry. The fluffy confections and novelty phrasings are pushed to the side… for now.
Newly single and recently de-coupled gals will find themselves relating to the lyrics in an instant and cranking it on their iPods. It's Perry's most personal song — and one of our favorites.
Check out her lyric video (below) for 'Wide Awake,' which creatively integrates the lyrics into her Facebook updates that span over the period when she was dropping all five of her No. 1 'Teenage Dream' singles and garnering a slew of accolades. It's even in Timeline. Cute, right?

Green, green, more green. Ah yes, Claire thought to herself, home sweet home. She stared pensively out the car window as her mother drove their beat up Toyota Camry down the road towards their house in La Push, Washington.
Claire had not been home for nearly four years. She had been living in London and attending the International School for the Gifted. When she was fourteen, she had received a full scholarship to the school because of her incredibly high IQ. Apparently, the board at the school thought that her, and those like her, needed to have their intelligence "nurtured" in order to reach their greatest "potential." Her parents had practically shipped her out of the house to England the moment that they heard about the scholarship. They had always been a lower-middle class family, but they hoped that Claire could change that for them. This same financial situation had prevented them from being able to afford to fly Claire home every summer or be able to visit her.
Four years seemed to be quite a long time, as Claire and her mother had run out of things to talk about after ten minutes in the car together. She and her mother had never had very much in common, but the gap between the two of them seemed to have widened. She hoped this would change, for she would be spending the next year in La Push. She was taking a year off between high school and college because the pressure of having to be a "genius" all of the time was beginning to get to her.
Finally, her mother broke the uncomfortable silence they had been sitting in for the past forty-five minutes. "So," her mother said, "Quil was very excited to hear that you were coming home." Claire blushed.
"Really?" she mumbled. Quil had always been a fixture in her life while she was growing up. He was quite protective of her and always acted like a big brother towards her. Of course, that did not mean that she thought of him as a big brother. In fact, before she had left for London, she had started developing a crush on him. He was the only thing, aside from her family, that she had really missed about La Push. When she had told him that she had been accepted to the program in London, he had been so proud of her and made her promise that she would write him. And she did, for about two years, until she started missing him so much that she had to stop writing him. Her little crush seemed to have developed into something a lot bigger, something that she was not quite ready to handle yet. She could only hope that he could forgive her.
Her mother's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "He missed you, you know," she informed her.
The corners of Claire's mouth tilted upwards. "I missed him too," she told her mother, quietly.
They finally pulled up to their house, which was small, but cozy. Claire got out of the car and stretched her long limbs. She had grown quite a bit, while she was away. She was nearly six feet tall now. Add that to her long black hair that hung down to her waist and her big blue eyes, and she could have passed for a runway model. Well, maybe not, due to the size of her chest. There were very few qualities that she shared with her mother, and her rather ample bosom happened to be one of them. It was something that the women in her family were quite proud of. Instead of trying to hide it, Claire was wearing a blue sundress that showed her cleavage off nicely, but without being grotesque. It fell right above her knees, making her legs look like they were endless.
She smoothed out the dress, and turned to help her mother get her luggage from the trunk of the car. Her mother smacked her hands away and said, "No, no. I don't need any help. You just head right on in."
She stared at her mother for a moment, sensing something was odd. She decided to ignore it, and started walking towards the house. Once she opened the door, she noticed that it was quite dark inside. She called out for her father, but received no answer. Then, she called out for her older sister, Nancy, and, once again, received no response. Maybe they're outside, she thought to herself.
Claire opened the door to her backyard, and was greeted with quite the crowd. Her father, sister, Aunt Emily, Uncle Sam, and her parents' friends Jacob, Embry, Jared, his wife, Kim, Paul, Seth, Leah, and many, many more, were all standing around talking. She searched for the one face that mattered most, Quil. After a moment, she spotted him in the midst of an animated conversation with Jacob. The smile that she had missed so much was threatening to break his face in half.
Finally, the partygoers seemed to notice that she had arrived. They all screamed out, "Surprise!" She felt a hand come down on her shoulder and turned around to see her mother grinning down at her.
Her father and Nancy pinned her in a hug. "Welcome home, little sister," Nancy whispered in her ear. They released her and rejoined the rest of the party, along with her mother, who gave her a kiss on the cheek as she walked by. Maybe Claire had been wrong about her relationship with her mother after all.
Suddenly, Quil was standing in front of her. He was so handsome that he took her breath away, as clichéd as it sounds. He was a good half-foot taller than her, with short black hair and deep, chocolate-colored eyes. His tight, white t-shirt and faded jeans showed off his sculpted musculature. He looked like he was in his early twenties, but Claire knew he had to be quite a bit older than that. It seemed to Claire that all of them men in La Push aged quite well. She could only hope to look as young as they did when she reached their age.
Once she had reacquainted herself with Quil's gorgeous appearance, she took note of the look on his face. He was staring at her with a mixture of awe and longing. She had never seen him look at anyone like that, especially not her. He seemed to appreciate the way her dress showed off her figure, as he was certainly not staring at her face. When he did finally drag his gaze upwards, he realized that she had caught him staring and blushed. Claire was quite sure that she had never seen Quil blush before. He looked down at his feet and then looked back up and smiled at her. "Hello Claire," he murmured.
"Hi Quil," she responded, equally as soft. "Long time no see."
He stared at her for a moment, his face a mask of indecision. The next thing Claire knew, her feet were off the ground, and Quil was hugging her tight to his body. After a moment's pause, she squeezed him back and inhaled his scent. He still smelled the same as he did four years ago: a bit woodsy and a bit soapy. She found it to be completely intoxicating.
When he set her down on the ground again, they were both grinning at each other. He grabbed her hand and started dragging her towards the crowd. "Come join the party," he said. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Afterwards, I would like to hang out, just you and me. I think we have a lot to talk about. Is that alright?"
Claire gulped, knowing that she would not be able to escape talking to him about why she had stopped writing him so easily. "Sure," she replied, a tremor in her voice.
Quil squeezed her hand. At least he did not seem angry with her. He would not have hugged her if was angry with her, right? Oh well, she had other things to worry about, now. Such as the fact that Jacob and Paul seemed to be getting into a rather heated argument over the last piece of pizza. There really is no place like home, Claire thought drily to herself.

European Commission
Brussels, 14 August 2012
Statement by the IMF, EC and WB on the Review of Romania's Economic Program
Staff teams from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Commission (EC), and World Bank visited Bucharest during July 31 to August 14 for the sixth review of Romania's economic program. Policy implementation remains broadly on track, despite challenging conditions.
Staff-level agreement has been reached with the authorities on measures that will be discussed by the Executive Board of the IMF in a meeting that is tentatively scheduled for late September. The results of the review will also be presented to the Economic and Financial Committee of the EU in September. Unwavering political support is needed to ensure implementation of the program measures.
Real growth is projected at around 1 percent in 2012 and 2½ percent in 2013. The subdued economic activity is mainly due to heightened political uncertainty and the slowdown in the euro area. Inflation is expected to remain within the target band set by the National Bank of Romania. Banks remain vulnerable to adverse developments in the euro area but maintain reassuring capital buffers, while loan-loss provisions are adequate.
The June fiscal deficit target was met and the ambitious objective for the year as a whole (below 3 percent of GDP in accrual terms) is achievable but will require continued spending restraint. However, the arrears targets for the general government were missed by a small margin and measures will be taken shortly to reduce these arrears. For 2013, the authorities will face difficult trade-offs in achieving a further consolidation of at least 0.5 percent of GDP. Strong political determination will be needed to discontinue nonperforming public investment projects and optimize public sector staffing. When revising the draft health care law, it is critical to restore financial sustainability and give strong incentives to health care institutions to increase their efficiency.
Political determination is needed to ensure that overdue structural reforms—necessary to achieve higher and inclusive growth—will be put in place. Energy legislation has been promulgated, and the law on the energy sector regulator will come into effect soon. Roadmaps for liberalizing energy prices need to be implemented and the authorities are working on providing adequate protection for vulnerable energy users. The government will also speed up the introduction of professional management in and privatization of state-owned enterprises, in order to improve their efficiency.
The objectives of Romania's IMF, EU and WB supported program are to ensure macroeconomic and financial stability as well as to put Romania's economy on a sustainable growth path with sound public finances and job creation, while protecting the poor and most vulnerable. The program includes a Stand-By Arrangement from the IMF of about €3½ billion (SDR 3,090.6 million), Balance of Payment Support from the EU of €1.4 billion, and various loans from the WB. The support from the IMF, the EU as well as from the DPL-DDO from the WB (€1 billion) are precautionary, meaning that the authorities have stated that they currently do not intend to draw on these resources, which are available as long as the conditionality is observed.
The IMF team also held discussions for the 2012 Article IV consultation, the regular evaluation of the economy under Article IV of the Fund's Articles of Agreement. A concluding statement summarizing staff findings has also been published.

Hypnosis can reduce pain in childbirth naturally
Stay calm and in control no matter how your birth progresses
Do you have mixed feelings about childbirth? Are you concerned about how you will cope?
For most of us, our image of child-birth is a team of medics huddled round a sweating, screaming woman. Add to the mix some scare stories of emergency c-sections, ineffective inductions and overworked medics, and it's no wonder women today have anxiety about giving birth.
Fortunately, we've been giving birth for a long, long time and our bodies are made to do this. This sounds glib but it's worth hanging onto, especially if you want your birth to be less eventful, calmer and more natural. (Sadly, that type of birth doesn't make it onto our screens).
Teach your body to know it's safe to give birth
Even if you are induced or have complications or need a C-section, knowing you can tap into your body's natural ability to manage pain is both comforting and empowering for a mother. This hypnosis download is to be used to rehearse the birth experience from 33 weeks onwards.
When your mind and body knows it's safe to give birth, then you will give birth but any anxiety, fear or worry is a strong signal for the baby to stay right where it is and the body reacts accordingly, clamping the cervix and delaying the process. This is where pain and exhaustion can take over and the birth becomes more complicated with all sorts of medical interventions. So, anything you can do to minimise anxiety, fear or worry assists your body to do what it wants to do. And fortunately this is where hypnosis helps, by regularly practising being calm and relaxed before the birth, and also during the birth itself.

House leaders and national medical groups are working to save a potentially historic deal to overhaul the way Medicare pays doctors and head off a dramatic cut in physicians' fees slated to take effect next week.
The unusual bipartisan legislation was expected to pass the House on Thursday with overwhelming support from Democrats and Republicans.
President Obama also endorsed the compromise. "I've got my pen ready to sign a good, bipartisan bill, which would be really exciting," he said at a White House event Wednesday with national healthcare leaders. "I love when Congress passes bipartisan bills that I can sign."

Landmark Vineyards may have been founded in the Windsor area of Sonoma County in 1974, but its roots stretch all the way back to 1838 and America's heartland. It was in Grand Detour, Illinois of that year that John Deere invented the steel plow – an event that virtually revolutionized the business of agriculture. In 1989, John Deere's great great granddaughter, Damaris Deere Ford, following the family tradition in agriculture, relocated Landmark Vineyards from Windsor, a town that was slowly being smothered by urban sprawl to a spectacular piece of land at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain in the Sonoma Valley. Damaris believed that Landmark could be a small jewel of a winery and built a Spanish mission style winery equipped with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment capable of producing 20,000 cases of wine per year. With the help of renowned Landscape architect, Morgan Wheelock, she developed the 20-acre site into a lush, gorgeously landscaped wine estate. Damaris convinced her son, Michael Deere Colhoun and his wife Mary to move from the east coast and join her as partners in the winery. Once settled, the Colhouns set in motion a plan that would truly make the winery a landmark. In 1993, they hired world-renowned consulting enologist Helen Turley to work with winemaker, Eric Stern. This collaboration led to some excellent winemaking. Under Eric's direction, Landmark's wines have consistently garnered rave reviews from the wine writers. Our signature wine, the Overlook Chardonnay, has appeared on The Wine Spectator Top 100 list 7 times since 1997. The names of Landmark's wines reflect their John Deere heritage. Landmark and Overlook were family homes. The Grand Detour Pinot Noir is named for the location of John Deere's blacksmithing shop in Illinois. And with a nod to the beginning of it all, the Syrah is aptly named "Steel Plow." Landmark's mission is "to make great wines that enhance the joy of life." Quality and flavor begin in the vineyards. In addition to the estate vineyard, Landmark sources grapes from a range of different vineyards and those selected are among the finest in the highly diverse microclimates of California's winegrowing regions. While the variation of the wines from vintage to vintage can be dramatic or subtle, the crafting of each year's wine is guided by a single overriding philosophy at Landmark: "less is more." According to Winemaker, Eric Stern, "The less the wine is manipulated, the more flavors and aromas remain to enjoy." Tasting Room Landmark's Tasting Room is located on the corner of Highway 12 and Adobe Canyon Road in Kenwood. The Tasting Room is open seven days a week and is closed only on major holidays. Hours of operation: 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM seven days a week. Read less

With the subject of low hits becoming a common theme in the 2013 NFL season — and the real games haven't even started yet — it makes sense to get the views of players regarding an important aspect of player safety that may not be addressed until March 2014.
On Wednesday's PFT Live, Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly was asked about his views on the situation. Among other things, he said he'd gladly trade the ability to tackle offensive players low for a ban on cut blocks.
Then again, most linebackers would, since they typically have the size and strength to get a guy down with a normal form tackle. Smaller defensive players opt to chop the trees low, and taking out low hits would hamper their ability to make tackles.
But this isn't about taking out all low tackles or cut blocks. Instead, defenseless players who currently are protected against hits to the head should be protected against hits to the knee. Other players shouldn't be, at least for now.
Kuechly talked about all sorts of other things, including comparisons to Ray Lewis, the status of quarterback Cam Newton among franchise quarterbacks, and whether Kuechley would choose a Hall of Fame bust over a Super Bowl ring.

Grieving Grice runs wild against Navy
Arizona State coach Todd Graham didn't know if he'd have Marion Grice available for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl after the junior running back's brother, Joshua Wood, was shot and killed in Houston last week in a dispute over a pair of Air Jordan sneakers.
"I just asked him if he wanted to play, and he said yes," Graham said. "It was great to hand Marion the game ball to take home with him."
Grice carried the ball 14 times for 159 yards and scored touchdowns on runs of 10 and 39 yards in a performance that earned him offensive player of the game honors in his team's 62-28 win Saturday at AT&T Park.
"We were concerned about how well he would be able to play, and he played unbelievably well," Graham said. "He has a lot of brothers here to support him and that love him. It's really been difficult for him."
Decision time: After a season in which he was named the Pac-12's Defensive Player of the Year as well as the Fight Hunger Bowl player of the game on defense, Will Sutton will now ponder whether to return to Arizona State or declare for the NFL draft.
"I think he needs to do what's best for him. I know what's best for our team," Graham said. "His parents and him will make that decision."
Sutton, a redshirt junior, is a little small for an NFL interior defensive lineman at 6-foot-1 and 270 pounds. He said he hasn't made a decision on his football future yet.
Hunger history: Navy's Gee Gee Greene returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to establish a Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl record for the longest return. It was also the longest kickoff return in Navy's bowl history.
Briefly: Many Sun Devils fans wore T-shirts that read, "I left my pitchfork in San Francisco." ... Attendance was 34,172.

We're betting none of those other dime-a-dozen froyo joints stock yogurt flavors like soursop, lulo, tamarind, and passionfruit alongside the cookies 'n cream. Hello, warm weather. We're ready for ya.It's like we're back in the '80s (and I'm not talking about the fact that Pat Benetar is still touring): frozen yogurt is back in a huge way. With froyo shops popping up on nearly every corner, it might seem like once you've seen one, you've seen 'em all. Until you walk in to Fruttela, that is. We're betting none of those dime-a-dozen froyo joints stock yogurt flavors like soursop, lulo, tamarind and passionfruit alongside the cookies 'n cream. How about laying out a spread of toppings that includes lychee, papaya and kiwis right next to your standard sweets? Nay, Fruttela isn't vanilla. (Though they do offer that for purists.) Then again, neither is the Old Fourth Ward, is it?
That's exactly why the owners set up shop on this particular stretch of sidewalk: they knew that their neighbors would dig something a little different. So, they decided to offer the 'hood a place where they could indulge their sweet tooth without plummeting into a shame-spiral. The frozen goods here are free of fat, hormones and guilt, and chock full of real fruit. The yogurt's made in-house each day in all its delicious flavors: a match made in heaven if we've ever seen one. Oh, and one more thing: Nutella frozen yogurt. 'Nuff said. Toto, we ain't in TCBY anymore.

"No Homo" is a term used when something can be mistaken as gay in nature, and the person wants to reassure the audience that it was not meant in a homosexual context. The term is most often used in an offensive manner because it embraces the idea that an association with gays is negative.

Word of the Gay: "No Homo"

Yeah...It is offensive...If you're
comfortable with who you are than it
shouldn't matter what others think...

It's offensive, but also telling. Methinks the nohomo doth protest too much...
- February 4, 2009 at 7:18 AM
I find this term so offensive because it seems to undermine the actual fact that being homosexual is nothing less than an orientation that can be changed on a whim, which is so untrue. I mean, just as Laurie said, if a person is comfortable in their skin and not trying to be something that they're not, there should be no issue to bring up; no need to utter the words "no homo". Ok, so most people would already know this if you display an attitude and demeanor that says "I'm comfortable with who I am", unless of course they have something to hide...hmmmmm.....

Auuugh a while back I did a facebook note-post on this "no homo". I remember one of my guy friends mentioning that he can't tell another dude they have a nice shirt without saying "no homo". It's such a stupid phrase...I think it's telling of all sorts of things about the person saying it.

Jackson slides down as Tigers set lineup
DETROIT -- Austin Jackson is officially no longer a leadoff hitter. And for the first time in five years, the Tigers will have a different batter atop their batting order.
The flip side is that Jackson is now officially a critical run producer where he's hitting if this Tigers lineup is going to put up runs.
DETROIT -- Austin Jackson is officially no longer a leadoff hitter. And for the first time in five years, the Tigers will have a different batter atop their batting order.
The flip side is that Jackson is now officially a critical run producer where he's hitting if this Tigers lineup is going to put up runs.
After five weeks of Grapefruit League play and just about that much speculation, manager Brad Ausmus finally announced his Opening Day lineup Sunday morning at Comerica Park. Jackson will bat fifth, just behind the duo of Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez.
Ian Kinsler will bat leadoff, reprising the role he held for most of his Texas tenure. Torii Hunter will keep his second spot as the bridge between the top of the order and Cabrera. After Jackson, Alex Avila will bat sixth, followed by rookie third baseman Nick Castellanos, new shortstop Alex Gonzalez and speedy left fielder Rajai Davis.
"There are portions of this lineup, I think, are relatively easy," Ausmus said, "and there are spots where you probably have a little more wiggle room. Ultimately after talking with the coaches and mulling it over, this is what I came up with."
The middle of the order, by contrast, has some "grey area," as Ausmus put it. That's where the offseason departures and injuries are more noticeable with Prince Fielder and Jhonny Peralta playing in other cities, and Andy Dirks stuck in Lakeland, Fla., rehabbing from back surgery.
If there was a spot where Ausmus could use a hot bat, that was it. None were hotter in Spring Training than Jackson, who hit .429 (24-for-56) in Grapefruit League play with nine extra-base hits, two home runs and 14 RBIs.
"He's hit there really for the majority of Spring Training, and he's looked exceptional," Ausmus said. "Does that necessarily mean it's going to carry over? No, but right now I feel he's the best option in that spot."
Jackson has had a while to prepare for it. Ausmus talked with him about the possibility of hitting in the middle of the lineup around the start of Spring Training, and Ausmus said two weeks ago that Jackson was unlikely to hit leadoff when the season started.
It didn't change his approach at the plate, Jackson said, but it changed other factors surrounding him.
"I think it's a little bit of a change of mindset, the opportunities that you'll be able to hit with runners on a little bit more, maybe get a chance to be a little bit more aggressive," Jackson said, "not to mention being able to be a little more aggressive on the basepaths."
The matchup also potentially favors Jackson, a right-handed hitter who fares better against right-handed pitchers (.291 career, .296 last year) than lefties (.246, .213). Royals Opening Day starter James Shields, in turn, is a right-hander who gives up a higher batting average to righties (.264 career, .272 last year) than lefties (.249, .233).
Jackson is 8-for-25 with three walks lifetime off Shields, including 8-for-21 the last two seasons.
The assumption for most of spring was that the Tigers shortstop would bat ninth. Ausmus' reasoning for moving Davis down there sounded much the same as his predecessor, Jim Leyland, for hitting Omar Infante there in past seasons. Ausmus, like Leyland, likes the idea of a second leadoff hitter.
"You're hoping, in theory, that it puts him on base in front of guys like Kinsler and Hunter and Miggy," Ausmus said. "It doesn't always work out that way, but that's kind of the theory going in. He certainly has the ability to score on just about any double from first base. And he puts a little bit of fear into the pitcher and catcher as far as his base-stealing ability."

Then check deeds in every town for what were big dreams in a long ago time. One could spend to eternity and never track them all down and make sense of them all, too!
