Lavender Sugar, Butter and Salad Dressing - Blue Monday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...While folks more sensible than Bob and I were enjoying their air conditioned homes or breezy decks, we were traipsing through fields of lavender doing our part to make the Oregon Lavender Festival a success. Our intent was to tour several operations and find a good local source for culinary lavender. I was easy to spot. Fair skin demands full sun protection on these hot sunny days. I was the gal who looked liked a bee keeper. High temperatures and blazing sun aside, we had a glorious day, met some kindred spirits and even picked up a few recipes that I can share with you today. The recipes are very easy to make and use less lavender than many of the recipes floating in cyberspace. Lavender has a distinctive taste that borders on bitter if too much of it is used. If you like its flavor, you might want to increase the amounts I have suggested in each of the recipes below. The first recipe is for lavender sugar. I've also included recipes for lavender butter and a salad dressing. I use dried flower buds in all these dishes because of the seasonal nature of fresh lavender. If you'd like to dry your own lavender, instructions can be found here. English lavender is the best to use for culinary purposes. Here are the recipes.
Lavender Sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons coarsely ground dried lavender buds
Combine lavender and sugar. Store in an airtight container for at least 3 days. Strain before using. Yield: 1 cup.
Lavender Butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon honey
1-1/2 teaspoons dried lavender buds, whole or lightly ground
Combine butter, honey and lavender in a small bowl. Mix well. Shape as desired. Refrigerate until firm. Serve with sweet bread. Yield: 1/2 cup.
Lavender Salad Dressing
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1-1/2 tablespoons dried lavender buds, ground
Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, honey, lavender, salt and pepper in the jar of an electric blender. Pulse to combine. Transfer to a serving container. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 1 cup.

Oh Thank you for sharing such wonderful lavender recipe. I have to agree with you that it's not a good idea to add extra lavender to the baking or cooking. Has to be the right amount! I still have a gigantic packet of lavender which was sent to me by Pam @The Gypsy Chef. Hope you're having a wonderful blue Monday with your lavender.

I have made lavender sugar for years and have made some lavender butter as well but never lavender salad dressing -- I must try that and soon.
I love lavender in food -- we know how well it goes in the linen closet -- and especially love pound cake and shortbread with lavender in it. - July 12, 2010 at 8:31 AM

If anything would be worth going out into the heat for it would be lavender. It is so beautiful. I love to see plentiful amounts of it.

how interesting! Here in Croatia lavender is quite popular but I was not aware to use it in food. here lavender is mainly used as an aromatic. the only thing I have seen is lavender honey and the lady selling it said it really didn't have lavender rather it was the honey gathered from bees feeding on the lavender.

It's difficult for an American president to govern through nuance, especially when it's necessary to persuade a majority of the people that certain actions are essential for national security. And effective persuasion usually requires clarity.
That's how you arrive at President George W. Bush's stark formulation "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists" after Sept. 11, and much of what sprang from it.
But if President Obama's newly recalibrated counterterrorism strategy as outlined in his speech Thursday demonstrates anything, it is his penchant for nuance.
It's a tendency required by the times. After more than a decade of two large-scale wars, Americans long ago hit the kind of war weariness that made them open to the notion of downsizing what Obama's predecessor had described as a "global war on terror" that could last decades.
But there are still enemies who seek to wage an asymmetric fight against the U.S. Thus the need for the kind of complex U.S. approach — in short nuance — that can be hard to explain or easy to misstate in the Twitter era.
For an example of this nuance, just take Obama's new guidance for when the U.S. will target individuals for destruction by drone. In the past, a terrorist suspect could apparently be targeted for that fact alone.
But the administration's new guidance, according to a White House fact sheet, requires that a suspected terrorist only be targeted if he's a "continuing, imminent threat to U.S. persons. It is simply not the case that all terrorists pose a continuing, imminent threat to U.S. persons; if a terrorist does not pose such a threat, the United States will not use lethal force."
That's a distinction that's difficult to imagine the Obama administration's immediate predecessor making, with its more cut-and-dried approach.
But part of Obama's appeal to many Americans when he was first elected in 2008 was his promise of a smarter approach to counterterrorism than Bush's, one that would improve the U.S.' image abroad. That was a vow that appeared challenged, at least when it came to the Obama administration's controversial use of drones.
Obama greatly expanded the use of the remotely controlled unmanned vehicles, with their Hellfire missile payloads, far beyond anything that occurred under Bush. The result? Growing anger toward the U.S. in unstable places like Pakistan and Yemen, and in other nations with Islamic majorities across the region.
While the use of the high-tech weapons has engendered outrage elsewhere in the world, Americans have mostly embraced the tactic.
Recent polls indicate that a majority of Americans support drone attacks on terrorist suspects. Civil libertarians and human-rights activists like Code Pink protester Medea Benjamin, who interrupted the president's speech Thursday, may question the killing by drone of U.S. citizens abroad or of the innocent — but that doesn't appear to be a majority concern.
It's this widespread support of U.S. drone warfare among the public that has given Obama the latitude he has enjoyed until now to increasingly conduct these attacks. The president didn't mention in his speech the popularity of the drones with Americans among the reasons for continuing their use. Americans' support of the use of drones certainly has made this part of his counterterrorism policy easier than it would be otherwise.
Ironically, the one part of his counterterrorism policy in which Obama showed the least nuance has arguably been the most vexing: his campaign promise to close Guantanamo, freeing those detainees deemed as not dangerous while transferring the rest to the U.S. mainland for trial.
It's not by choice, of course. He ran into fierce congressional resistance when he first tried to make good on his promise in 2009 shortly after entering the White House, and all indications are that Republican lawmakers will do their best to thwart him again. And with most Americans agreeing with them that Guantanamo should remain open, their chances of winning are probably better than Obama's.

Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story. Throughout his life he has continually set the standards of business and entrepreneurial excellence, especially with his interests in real estate, sports, and entertainment. Likewise, his entry into politics and public service resulted in the Presidential victory in, miraculously, his first ever run for office.
After graduating from the Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump followed in his father's footsteps as a real estate developer, and he entered the world of real estate development in New York. The Trump signature soon became synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses in Manhattan and subsequently throughout the world. An accomplished author, Mr. Trump has authored over fourteen bestsellers and his first book, The Art of the Deal, in addition to being the #1 book of the year, is considered a business classic.
Mr. Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015, and after seventeen Republican contenders suspended their campaigns, he accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States in July of 2016. Mr. Trump won the election on November 8 of 2016 in the largest electoral college landslide for a Republican in 28 years. He won over 2,600 counties nationwide, the most since President Reagan in 1984. Additionally, he won over 62 million votes in the popular vote, the highest all-time for a Republican nominee. He also won 306 electoral votes, the most for a Republican since George H.W. Bush in 1988. Millions of Americans rallied behind his message of rebuilding our country and disrupting the status quo—this was a truly national victory and a historic movement.
Donald J. Trump campaigned in places he knew Republicans have had difficulty winning—Flint, Michigan, charter schools in inner-city Cleveland, and Hispanic churches in Florida—because he wanted to bring his message of economic empowerment to all Americans. Millions of new Republicans trusted Mr. Trump with their vote because of his focus on delivering prosperity through better trade deals, and as a result there were healthy margins of victory in newly red areas. It is clear that President Trump's win is one that brought Americans of all backgrounds together, and he is ready to deliver results for the nation on day one and every day of his tenure.
President Trump has been married to his wife, Melania, for twelve years and they are parents to their son, Barron. Additionally, Mr. Trump has four adult children, Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany, and eight grandchildren.

HTC Droid DNA Boast: 'Most Advanced Smart Phone'
Citing its high-end hardware, HTC says its new Droid DNA is the most advanced smart phone to hit the market yet, and the "ultimate" Droid.
With the flood of smart phones that have deluged the market toward the end of this year, it's getting harder for any one phone to distinguish itself -- barring maybe a new iPhone, and look how well that turned out.
HTC on Tuesday threw down a gauntlet that, if nothing else, has bravado going for it. At an event in New York it unveiled the Verizon-exclusive 4G LTE-connected Droid DNA, which it billed as "the most advanced smart phone on the market" and "the ultimate Droid."
At the HTC Droid DNA launch event.
Their words, not ours. But the DNA, which was revealed earlier this month to be a U.S. version of the HTC Butterfly, has some chops to back up such a boast.
The DNA sports a 5-inch, full-1080p, 440-ppi screen, which runs to edge to edge and thus doesn't push the phone into full-blown phablet territory. Android 4.1 Jellybean drives the phone courtesy of a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5-GHz processor (the "Krait"), backed with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. Front and back f2.0 cameras sport similar attributes to the optics found in the Windows Phone-powered HTC 8X.
HTC design director Jonah Becker used the DNA's physical specs to make side swipes at the Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy SIII lines, nothing that the DNA is slimmer than the Note and has a brighter display than the SIII. In addition to Beats Audio, a familiar presence on HTC phones now, the DNA also comes with the relatively unobtrusive Sense 4+ user-interface skin. Wireless charging also is included, for those who have the charging-pad hardware to support it, such as the Duracell Powermat.
We had the chance to try out the phone at the event, and were impressed with what we saw. The phone's polycarbonate plastic body is remarkably light and slender, without having the unpleasantly flexible feel of a low-grade phone. The display handles full 1080p content without smearing or blurring, and has the same strongly-defined color that we saw on the Motorola Droid Razr M.

Motorola's earlier Droid phones, with their thicker profiles and slide-out keyboards, appealed to a slightly more professional market. The new Droid Razr M, though, is designed for the same market HTC has been targeting this year: people who want a powerful and good-looking phone, but want more lifestyle features than they do work-related functions.
Verizon is the exclusive U.S. dealer for the DNA, which will ship Nov. 21 at $199 with a two-year contract. Pre-sales begin Tuesday.

5 Big Questions to Consider when Financing a Business Sale
How should the purchase of a business be structured? This is a point that you'll want to address early in the sale process. For most people, buying or selling a business is one of the most, if not the most, important business decision that they will ever make. For this reason, it is vital not to wait until the last minute to structure your deal. Let's turn our attention to the most significant questions that you need to answer when entering the sales process.
1. What is My Lowest Price?
The first question you should ask yourself is, "What is the lowest price I'm willing to take?" If an offer is made, the last thing you want is to be sitting around trying to decide if you can take a given offer at a given price. You need to be ready to jump if the right offer is made.
2. What are the Tax Implications?
Secondly, you'll want to seriously consider the tax consequences of any sale. Taxes are always a fact of life and you need to work with a professional, such as an accountant or business broker, to understand the tax implication of any decision you make.
3. What are the Interest Rates?
The third factor you want to consider is interest rates. If you get a buyer, what is an acceptable interest rate for a seller financed sale?
4. Are there Additional Costs Involved?
A fourth key question to ask yourself is do you have any unsecured creditors that have not been paid off? Additionally, you'll also want to determine whether or not the seller plans on paying for a part of the closing costs.
5. Will the Buyer Need to Assume Debt?
Finally, will the buyer need to assume any long-term or secured debt? The issue of long term and/or secured debt is no small issue. Be sure to clarify this important point well in advance. Also keep in mind that favorable terms typically translate to a higher sales price.
Business brokers are experts at buying and selling all kinds of businesses. When it comes time to structure a deal that benefits both the buyer and the seller, business brokers can prove to be invaluable. At the end of the day, working with a business broker is one of the single biggest steps you can take to ensure that your business is sold and sold as quickly as possible.

Death for the Remnant in Jerusalem. 1The spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of the LORD facing east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men; among them I saw the public officials Jaazaniah, son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, son of Benaiah. 2The LORD said to me: Son of man, these are the men who are planning evil and giving wicked counsel in this city. 3They are saying, "No need to build houses! The city is the pot, and we are the meat."* a 4Therefore prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy! 5Then the spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to say: Thus says the LORD: This is how you talk, house of Israel. I know the things that come into your mind! 6You have slain many in this city, filled its streets with the slain. 7Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: The slain whom you piled up in it, that is the meat, the pot is the city. But you I will bring out of it.b 8You fear the sword—that sword I will bring upon you—oracle of the Lord GOD.c 9I will bring you out of the city, hand you over to foreigners, and execute judgments against you. 10By the sword you shall fall. At the borders of Israel I will judge you so that you will know that I am the LORD. 11The city shall not be a pot for you, nor shall you be meat within it. At the borders of Israel I will judge you,d 12so you shall know that I am the LORD, whose statutes you did not follow, whose ordinances you did not keep. Instead, you acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.
13While I was prophesying, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, dropped dead. I fell down on my face and cried out in a loud voice: "Alas, Lord GOD! You are finishing off what remains of Israel!"* e
Restoration for the Exiles. 14The word of the LORD came to me: 15* Son of man, the inhabitants of Jerusalem are saying about all your relatives, the other exiles, and all the house of Israel, "They are far away from the LORD. The land is given to us as a possession."f 16Therefore say: Thus says the Lord GOD: I have indeed sent them far away among the nations, scattered them over the lands, and have been but little sanctuary for them in the lands to which they have gone. 17Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, I will gather you from the nations and collect you from the lands through which you were scattered, so I can give you the land of Israel.g 18They will enter it and remove all its atrocities and abominations. 19h And I will give them another heart and a new spirit I will put within them. From their bodies I will remove the hearts of stone, and give them hearts of flesh, 20so that they walk according to my statutes, taking care to keep my ordinances. Thus they will be my people, and I will be their God.i 21But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their atrocities and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their heads—oracle of the Lord GOD.
22Then the cherubim lifted their wings and the wheels alongside them, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.j 23* The glory of the LORD rose up from the middle of the city and came to rest on the mountain east of the city.k 24In a vision, the spirit lifted me up and brought me back to the exiles in Chaldea, by the spirit of God. The vision I had seen left me,l 25and I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.m
* [11:3] No need to build houses…meat: this advice is based on the conviction that invincible Jerusalem will protect its citizens from further danger just as a pot shields the meat inside from the fire. The poorer citizens of Jerusalem and the refugees from nearby villages can now appropriate the property abandoned by the city's wealthier upper class when they were deported (v. 15). The metaphor of the pot and its contents reappears in chap. 24.
* [11:13] In Ezekiel's vision Pelatiah represents the people left in Jerusalem, "the remnant of Israel." His sudden death in the vision, but not in reality, is a figure for the judgment described in vv. 8–10 and prompts Ezekiel's anguished question about the survival of the people left in the land after the deportations in 597.
* [11:15–21] Ezekiel insists that those who remained in Judah are doomed; the exiles, under a new covenant, will constitute a new Israel. Cf. chap. 36; Jer 24:7; 29.
* [11:23] The glory of the Lord departs toward the east, to the exiles in Babylon; it will return once the Temple is rebuilt (43:1–3).
d. [11:11] 2 Kgs 25:20–21.
h. [11:19] Ez 18:31; 36:26; 2 Cor 3:3.

COAs cannot be reissued, so please take care to keep your COAs safe. Our COAs are transferable to a new owner. Each item is allocated a unique serial number which enables us to store the original sale on our database. As long as our original COA accompanies the original item, we will treat any inquiry regarding the "Attribution" as if it was from the original buyer. Should a sale be rescinded and the purchase price paid, it is specifically understood that this will be considered the sole remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, it is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law, or in equity. Exclusions will be made and this warranty does not apply to "Attribution" which on the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and specialists, or the identification of periods or dates of execution which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the listing online, or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical to employ. Payment Customers will be charged in US Dollars. For all sales within California, sales tax at the prevailing rate (currently 9%) will be applied to the winning bid and Buyer's Premium. Delivery addresses outside California will be exempt from sales tax. Accepted payment methods are VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Bidder agrees that Prop Store will charge the credit card listed provided at registration for all items purchased at auction, and any future Prop Store auctions in which the Bidder participates if not paid within 7 calendar days after the close of the auction. Customers will receive their invoices once the final lots have closed, to allow combined shipping. If the excitement is simply too much and you would like to pay and ship your auction wins immediately, please let us know.

IFSC is basically a code developed by the RBI for the public which stands for Indian Financial System Code(IFSC) which consists of 11 digits alphanumeric code, absolutely unique.
IFSC code is used mainly in NEFT, IMPS & RTGS which are used for transferring funds to other banks.
There are many ways to find IFSC Code easily anywhere and its just the situation where you find any among the ways the most useful to search for. Lets dive deeper.
Get IFSC Code From the Passbook
Passbook is the thing that's available to all of us and by the way while creating a bank account it is given by the bank without any delay.
Now let's learn how to get that.
After Opening the Passbook generally you can find it on the first page to the top side. Just like the below picture shows. Otherwise you can also find it on the right side.
Get IFSC Code From the Cheque
If you've the cheque book, then also you can get the Code top-left side of the cheque. On every leaf you can find that just like the below illustration shows. It's that easy to find out the Code.
Get IFSC Code From the Banksforyou Tools
The best method of all and not because of using this only but you can chose any way to get but why is this so easy and beneficial to use our tool.
The main benefits that it bears are-
» It can be used on any device anywhere without even installing any application.
» It is the easiest of all, just select bank name, state, district and the branch only.
» We have over 175,000+ records of IFSC code that means you can get any bank's code even if its a small bank.
Here we can take such example that's exactly valid in real life, so get started.
Now let's take and example of a dummy bank as ABC and another bank as XYZ, now if the customer of ABC decides to transfer 10,000 Rs as example to XYZ, he would need the Name of the Account holder, account number along with a section where it's asking for IFSC Code to be entered.
Here you need to enter the 11 digit IFSC code of the ex: XYZP0896745 in this case. Otherwise some banks provide the facility to enter the location directly. Now XYZ will definitely receive the money from ACB Bank's customer if the account number entered correctly.
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. MICR's Code consists of 9 digits, also MICR is used for identifying cheques which is best for faster processing.
Also to note MICR is not same for every customer and it applies for branches too. The MICR Code is used because of the MICR scanners which are much more efficient than the traditional OCR scanners.
There's a saying that "History repeats itself" and now we are again discussing the same types but the concept is different here. So let's not delay.
Get MICR Code From the Passbook
Passbook is the common thing that's available among the customers and easy to access too. Also here as you've seen that IFSC can be found here just like that MICR Code is also present here. Open the first page of the passbook, here you can easily find the MICR word on the right side of the page or on the top side, that differs from bank to bank. In the below demo illustration of a passbook you can find the MICR.
Get MICR Code From the Cheque
If you need to know MICR, that means you might have a cheque book along with you. However, that depends if you are collecting the information for other use. Now to get the MICR from the Cheque, you need to focus on the cheque leaf's bottom side where the MICR is mentioned for scanners to read.
Get MICR Code From the Banksforyou Tools
It shouldn't be repeated but the best method is this one as its online you can access it from any device from anywhere just it. Just select the required options and you're have MICR in front of you.
Some of the short checkpoints that needs to be discussed here to specify the use of MICR Code are-
☑ It is used for faster processing of cheques using scanners.
☑ MICR participates in Electronic Clearing System to uniquely identify the bank & branch.
For Example let's say you want to send some funds around 50,000 to other bank's holding customer and use cheque as an medium. Here you can check at the bottom that the MICR is present.
Nowadays cheques are dropped otherwise entered via a system which acts as a cheque that's virtual and the facility is only provided at some specific banks. Note even if it's a physical cheque it is send to core centre of the bank to process(Automated).
We do not hold any responsibility on any manipulated data displayed as it is being powered by Razorpay.

First and foremost, we recommend giving your jewellery a break every now and then. When you're not off on an adventure, store it in your OBJKTS Jewelry dust bag (included in every purchase) and wipe it with a soft cloth to buff and restore shine. Remove your jewellery when bathing, showering, or washing your hands, and do not apply any hand creams or beauty products when wearing your jewellery. We also recommend removing your jewellery when exercising, as sweat can cause oxidisation. Lastly, as much as you'll love your jewellery, we don't recommend sleeping in your jewellery.

Yes. The Cubic Zirconia stones are so sparkly and dazzling you might even forget it's not a real diamond.
Over time Cubic zirconia can become cloudy due to chemical residue being left on the stone. To prevent cloudiness, keep your cubic zirconia jewellery clean and avoid exposure to chemicals or extreme temperatures. Remove it when applying lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays to prevent residue buildup. Store your jewellery in a dry place for lasting brilliance.
If your stone has become cloudy then you can follow these steps to clear it up!
- Prepare a solution: Mix mild dish soap or a gentle jewellery cleaner with warm water in a small bowl. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners.
- Soak the jewellery: Place your cloudy cubic zirconia jewellery in the solution and let it soak for 15-20 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt or residue.
- Gently clean: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush or a clean, soft cloth to gently scrub the jewellery. Pay attention to the areas around the cubic zirconia stone, ensuring you remove any debris or buildup.
- Rinse and dry: Rinse the jewellery under warm water to remove any soap residue. Pat it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth, or let it air dry naturally.

Far-right political parties won big in European parliamentary elections in many countries last weekend. Their victory was particularly painful in France, a founding member of the European Union, and has deepened the sense of crisis for the very unpopular Socialist president, Francois Hollande. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports from Paris.
ELEANOR BEARDSLEY, BYLINE: National front-leader Marine Le Pen was glowing on election night last Sunday after her party got 26 percent of the vote, twice as much as the ruling Socialist party. The vote was another slap in the face for Hollande, coming just weeks after disastrous municipal elections for his Socialist party. Dominque Moisy is with the French Institute for International Relations.
DOMINIQUE MOISY: The President, after just a little more than two years in power, has lost credibility. And no one sees what he can do to reinvent himself. The moment people see the president on the French television, they start yawning.
BEARDSLEY: Hollande spoke on live television to the nation after the vote.
PRESIDENT FRANCOIS HOLLANDE: (French spoken).
BEARDSLEY: France's destiny is in Europe, he said. And France must continue to lead Europe. But Hollande said the country had been mismanaged over the last decade and had lost jobS and competitiveness and was debt ridden. He promised his economic reform program would turn things around, but many wonder if Hollande will be able to keep his promise. Reforms could push protesters into the streets and more voters into the arms of Marine Le Pen. Christophe Barbier, a columnist for L'Express magazine, says Hollande may be in an impossible situation, but he has no choice.
CHRISTOPHE BARBIER: (Through translator) If Francois Hollande reforms, people might be angry, but he has chance to have some results before the end of his term. If he doesn't reform, people will be angry anyway because our expensive social system will eventually fail.
BEARDSLEY: Barbier believes that Hollande can call on the nation's collective conscience and ask them, for an example, to give up some of their excess vacation time. He says France has lost 4 billion Euros just during the public holidays in May.
It's time for RMC Radio's daily talk show with Eric Brunet. Brunet is a conservative provocateur, a sort of French Rush Limbaugh. He says Le Pen voters are protesting the decline of France.
ERIC BRUNET: (Through translator) One hundred years ago, we were a top world power. And now a century later, we're becoming a little country. And people have a hangover, like after a big party. They can't accept this, so they vote for Le Pen.
BEARDSLEY: Brunet doesn't believe for a second that Hollande can reform France. He says neither could his conservative predecessors. With all its unions, lobbyists and special interest groups, Brunet says the country is unreformable.
On one of those long weekend holidays last month, 40-year-old Parisian Cyril Rousseau was playing tennis at a Paris sports club. Rosseau says people vote for extremists when they're scared and dissatisfied with mainstream politicians. He admits Hollande is in a bad situation.
CYRIL ROSSEAU: (French spoken).
BEARDSLEY: People are asking him to change everything, but at the same time, they don't want to change anything, says Rosseau. It's a complete paradox. Eleanor Beardesley, NPR News, Paris. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken.
She did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.
He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.
He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.
She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.
Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love,that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted.

Finally this hour, the news that some of you at least have been anxiously awaiting. The royal baby has a name, several of them, in fact. George Alexander Louis. We'll break down that monitor for you now.
George is a name shared with the patron saint of England, not to mention the Beatle George Harrison and, of course, six prior kings of England. Alexander is the masculine form of the queen's middle name, Alexandra, and he shares Louis with his father, William Arthur Philip Louis. And stick with us now, that name also honors the baby's great-grandfather's uncle Louis Mountbatten. Mountbatten was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army in 1979.
A lot of history for one so small, George Alexander Louis. And while he grows into the name, he will be officially known as his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

50-state study: More gun laws, fewer deaths
CHICAGO States with the most gun control laws have the fewest gun-related deaths, according to a study that suggests sheer quantity of measures might make a difference.
But the research leaves many questions unanswered and won't settle the debate over how policymakers should respond to recent high-profile acts of gun violence.
In the dozen or so states with the most gun control-related laws, far fewer people were shot to death or killed themselves with guns than in the states with the fewest laws, the study found. Overall, states with the most laws had a 42 percent lower gun death rate than states with the least number of laws.
The results are based on an analysis of 2007-2010 gun-related homicides and suicides from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers also used data on gun control measures in all 50 states compiled by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a well-known gun control advocacy group. They compared states by dividing them into four equal-sized groups according to the number of gun laws.
- Bipartisan group of senators unveils gun trafficking bill
- Father of slain Sandy Hook child pleads for gun control
The results were published online Wednesday in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
More than 30,000 people nationwide die from guns every year nationwide, and there's evidence that gun-related violent crime rates have increased since 2008, a journal editorial noted.
During the four-years studied, there were nearly 122,000 gun deaths, 60 percent of them suicides.
"Our motivation was really to understand what are the interventions that can be done to reduce firearm mortality," said Dr. Eric Fleegler, the study's lead author and an emergency department pediatrician and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital.
He said his study suggests but doesn't prove that gun laws or something else led to fewer gun deaths.
Fleegler is also among hundreds of doctors who have signed a petition urging President Barack Obama and Congress to pass gun safety legislation, a campaign organized by the advocacy group Doctors for America.
Gun rights advocates have argued that strict gun laws have failed to curb high murder rates in some cities, including Chicago and Washington, D.C. Fleegler said his study didn't examine city-level laws, while gun control advocates have said local laws aren't as effective when neighboring states have lax laws.
Previous research on the effectiveness of gun laws has had mixed results, and it's a "very challenging" area to study, said Dr. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center For Gun Policy. He was not involved in the current study.
The strongest kind of research would require comparisons between states that have dissimilar gun laws but otherwise are nearly identical, "but there isn't a super nice twin for New Jersey," for example, a state with strict gun laws, Webster noted.
Fleegler said his study's conclusions took into account factors also linked with gun violence, including poverty, education levels and race, which vary among the states.
The average annual gun death rate ranged from almost 3 per 100,000 in Hawaii to 18 per 100,000 in Louisiana. Hawaii had 16 gun laws, and along with New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts was among states with the most laws and fewest deaths. States with the fewest laws and most deaths included Alaska, Kentucky, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
But there were outliers: South Dakota, for example, had just two guns laws but few deaths.
Editorial author Dr. Garen Wintemute, director the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, said the study doesn't answer which laws, if any, work.
Wintemute said it's likely that gun control measures are more readily enacted in states with few gun owners a factor that might have more influence on gun deaths than the number of laws.
