Coming to the rice,it is very easy and quick to make as it does not include many items.I am sure everyone knows how to make lemon rice but I would like to share few tips in order to make tasty lemon/sweetlime rice.Nicely cooked soft and fluffy rice,more spicy and tangy rice for extra punch and also mixing the rice while it is hot are the key things one should remember to make yummy and tasty lemon rice.I follow the same way for rice varieties like lemon rice,dabbakaya pulihora and mango rice.
1 cup regular Sona masuri or equivalent
1 Dabbakaya/Indian grape fruit(big lime)
5-6 Green chillies,slit
1-2 Red chillies(optional)
2-3 tbsp chopped Coriander
a sprig of Curry leaves
2-3 tbsp Cashews,broken
2-3 tbsp Groundnuts
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tbsp Chana dal
1 tsp Urad dal
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
Salt to taste
2-3 tbsp Oil
- Pressure cook rice(1 cup rice: 2 1/4 cups water) or how you cook your regular rice until it is soft and fluffy.The rice should be comparatively softer to eat and it should not be like how we do for pulav/biriyani.
- Squueze the lime and separate the seeds and keep it aside.
- Heat oil in a kadai and crackle mustard seeds and add ground nuts and fry over medium flame until they are golden brown.
- Add cashew nuts,chana dal,urad dal,green chilies and fry until they turn golden brown and green chillies wilt.
- Add curry leaves and mix well and add turmeric powder and switch off the flame.
- Now take rice in a wide bowl and add the tadka to it and add enough salt and mix well until everything is mixed.
- Add squeezed lime(dabbakaya) with out seeds and coriander to it and mix well.
- In order to make tasty lime/lemon rice I always mix when the rice is hot and I like to eat it immediately.
- I added more number of chillies to the recipe,if you can not bear that much spice level feel free to reduce the number of chillies.
- It is always important to taste the rice and add salt,lime/lemon juice to it according to your taste buds.
- Always add less amount of turmeric powder and also add directly into the tadka which gives the rice a light greenish color instead of yellow color.
- Use regular rice like sona masuri,ponni or equivalent rice and I do not recommend using basmati rice for this.
- If you are making the rice ahead always use more lemon/lime and chillies than needed as the rice absorbs it and make it more tasty by noon.

The days of looking in the newspaper want ads are long gone. And while the hundreds of job search Web sites are helpful, they shouldn't be the only place you look.
Sure, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites are fun ways to catch up with friends and family, but they're also a great way to market yourself and find potential employment connections.
If you haven't started your own blog yet, now's the time to start. Talk about your education, job and volunteer experience, or anything else you think could help you peak someone's interest. Then, link your blog entries to any of the social sites you participate in. Sometimes, if you're lucky and have enough followers or friends, just posting that you're job hunting in a specific industry is enough to open some doors.
When online, become a follower or make a friend request to the leaders of the companies and fields you're interested in. Don't forget the more professional-specific sites out there like LinkedIn—which lets you search by company or individual and even has a section for employment ads.
It's good to not only write your own blog, but subscribe to the blogs of others who are experts in your field. Plus, some larger blogs have integrated job banks into their Web sites.
Finally, if there are companies you're truly interested in working for, bookmark their Web sites and check their job openings section often. Many companies don't bother listing their opening on the bigger sites and keep expenses down by listing it on their own Web site instead.
Now that you're about to enter or have recently entered the job market, anything you attach your name to online could come back to haunt you. Even seemingly innocent updates, photos or postings could be taken the wrong way. So become your own editor and think twice before posting.

Growing up one of two boys in my family I must confess the Disney Princesses were not on my radar at all. Only recently did I learn the first name of "Sleeping Beauty" or that she even had a first name. I had never seen any of the films.
As you might imagine, however, with the birth of my little girl thirty-two months ago that has all changed. Now princesses are everywhere in our home… in books, DVDs, dolls and dress-up outfits. And while the commercialism bothers me some, there's something that bothers me more.
What most bothers me are the messages the Disney Princess stories send (sell?) to little girls. I know, I know, I'm not the first to raise this alarm nor the last. It's just that I've only now been exposed to these stories. The message: appearance and perfection are what matters… that and finding your prince.
But what happens when the prince leaves you at a less than perfect 30-something years of age, with three little baby prince & princesses to feed and an underwater mortgage on the castle? What do they teach or prepare our little girls for the real world? Yeah, I know you are saying "Geez, Michael, they are just fairy tales."
Maybe, but let's look at just one of them for a sec, okay? In Beauty and the Beast Daddy is taken hostage by the beast (our hero), the heroine ransoms herself to free her father, the beast threatens and screams abusively at her, but eventually frees her and in the end her love for the beast turns him into a prince.
So exactly what message does that send? If you are with an abusive guy, stick with him because he's really a prince inside (it's not his fault, he's under a spell… say, bourbon?) and if you love him hard enough and long enough he'll become the prince you mistakenly thought him to be? Yeah, right!
Take any of the other stories and put them in a real world context and see if you like many of the messages they send our daughters. Am I wrong? I've been accused of being an old fuddy duddy before; I can take it. But if I'm even a little bit right what do we do about it?
I have some thoughts, but I'd like to hear yours first. We can discuss this in the comments.

CBN.com It was a September day in Knoxville, Tennessee. Andrew Franklin rode his bike as his father, Tom, looked on. Neither knew that their lives were about to change.
"Andrew started pushing on his eyes saying, 'Daddy my head hurts.' He asked for some Benadryl because he'd been having allergy problems. So Tom put a wet washcloth on his head," Andrew's mother said.
This was not a case of allergies. Andrew's parents didn't know it at the time, but a clot had stopped the flow of blood on the left side of his brain. Andrew was having a massive stroke. "Tom was bent over talking to him, and when he raised up he had this look on his face, and it was just pure terror. He said, 'I can't get him to respond to me. He won't, he won't talk to me.' He would throw up and suck it back in because he was breathing so hard and it was very scary," his mother said. "And I said, 'We need to go to the hospital right now.'"
For the next two days the doctors at Children's Hospital used every tool they had to diagnose Andrew's condition.
"The blood pressure was normal, temperature was normal, pupils were reactive," his mother said. "And then they tried to get him to stand on the scale, and his legs just went limp and he couldn't stand. So they were stunned. They didn't know what was going on."
Critical time was passing. Finally, after taking an MRI, Andrew's doctor delivered devastating news. He told them that Andrew was in trouble and that it was really bad. He said Andrew had a stroke, a really bad stroke.
"I couldn't believe he was telling me that my little boy was about to die, because he was fine the other day," his mother said. "I mean two days before, there was nothing wrong with him. It was almost like, this can't be happening. It was almost like watching it on TV."
The only hope the doctors offered was a risky brain surgery, rarely performed on children.
Dr. Kevin Brinkmann from Children's Hospital said, "Andrew had suffered, what we documented, was a very large stroke in a big blood vessel in the left side of his brain. And the left side of the brain for most people, about 95 percent of people, is the dominant part of the brain that's responsible for most things, like speech and language. And at that point in time, Andrew was very critical."
"And the challenge with Andrew was, not only were we working in smaller arteries than were in a normal human, but now we have even smaller because they are inside a child," Dr. Keith Woodword said.
"I walked over and he was laying on the table and he looked so small. I just could not, I still could not believe this was happening. He had all of these I-Vs, and they had a cap on his head, and I was just talking to him. And I said, "Just don't leave me, come back to me, okay?' We got to kiss him and tell him we loved him. Then the doctors said 'We've got to go,'" his mother said.
As they rolled Andrew away to the operating room, the only thing Andrew's family and friends could do was pray.
"Everybody in the room gathered and held hands in a humongous circle and just said a prayer of thanks. And anybody that wanted to pray could pray out loud. With each prayer that we told, that we said, it took the sadness and the fear away. It took it completely away and it was replaced with love and joy and happiness. At the saddest time of my life it was the happiest time of my life too, because there is such power… I've never experience anything like it," his mother said.
Two hours passed. Andrew survived the surgery, but his prognosis remained grim.
"He [the doctor] says, 'If he even survives, most likely he will be in a wheelchair. He could be blind. He may never walk, never talk, he will be severely … he won't be the same.' I almost just let it go in one ear and out the other, because I prayed nonstop and that's not what God was telling me," his mother said.
Andrew spent two weeks in intensive care. He was in and out of consciousness, but unresponsive.
"One of the last nights that he was in intensive care he was awake and I noticed he was looking at the TV and I thought, okay. So I handed him the remote control and he changed the channel! So I knew he was in there. I knew he was in there," his mother said.
Over the next few days Andrew's recovery progressed dramatically. He began breathing on his own, so the doctor removed his ventilator, and then his feeding tube. Soon he was able to speak and move well beyond the expectations of his doctors.
"His progress was remarkable compared to when I first saw him. He could not talk. He could speak or understand speech. He could not move his right arm or his right leg at all at that point," Dr. Woodword said. "I think it's a miracle that he's survived and is doing as well as he is, yes."
Within a month of the stroke Andrew was walking again. And in just four months Andrew met all of his rehabilitation goals. Mobility on his right side continues to improve.
"He does everything a regular 10-year-old boy would do. He can run, he can swim. He is the strongest one armed swimmer I've ever seen," his mother said.
"God had shown me so many things in that short amount of time. I know I can trust Him and He was telling me to trust Him, so that's what I did. That's all I had to do was trust him," his mother said. "And you know, I hope we're never ever put in a position like that again. But I know that no matter what comes at us God is there; He will never leave us alone. And He will get us through it and He will see us through to the other side," his mother said.
God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life. Discover how you can find peace with God.
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

A TROPICAL cyclone is developing off Western Australia's north coast and could impact communities in the next few days.
Residents in coastal areas from Whim Creek to Onslow in the Pilbara region have been warned to prepare their homes and family for severe storms.
This includes people in Whim Creek, Roebourne, Wickham, Dampier, Karratha, Mardie, Onslow and surrounding areas.
Tropical Cyclone Narelle is developing 900km north of Karratha and 1070km north north-east of Exmouth, and is moving west south-west at 11km per hour.
It is the second tropical cyclone to form off the WA coast this season, after the short-lived Cyclone Mitchell last week.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the cyclone was expected to intensify in the next few days.
"Gales with gusts to 100km per hour may develop in coastal areas between Whim Creek and Onslow on Friday morning as the cyclone moves closer to the coast, then extends west to Exmouth later on Friday,'' the bureau said.
"The cyclone is rapidly intensifying and is likely to develop into a severe tropical cyclone as it moves towards the Northwest Cape.''
The State Emergency Service advises residents to review their family cyclone plan and know the community cyclone alert system.
Residents have also been reminded to organise an emergency kit with a portable battery operated radio, torch, spare batteries and first aid kit.

When I started my studio project I had no idea I'd become "the IT guy." Everything is digital. Nothing is analog… except me.
The good news is I like this stuff, but this is way deeper in than I've ever been. I've got servers and a bunch of other single purpose computers, like my switcher and the modem that allows me to send HD video over the Internet.
Nearly every device is sharing with every other device. Files need to be available no matter where I am or they are.
I poked holes in my firewall and forwarded ports to allow the outside world to communicate directly with some of my gear. It's not without danger. Miscreants are robotically probing for weaknesses in systems like mine 24/7.
In the analog days video and audio were like water flowing through pipes. You could cut the pipe at any point and split it or meter it.
Not today.
The flow is more orderly and intensely complex. Data doesn't flow, it's routed. As you might imagine, 1080i video consumes lots of data. Every hour my studio is feeding it sends around 5Gb of data.
Packets are flying through my network at breakneck speed, but it's still the bottleneck of my system… of most complex networks. Optimization is everything. I'm working with vendors' experts who know their systems to tweak every last bit of performance.
This isn't a never ending project, is it?

Week two of the college football season is quite a letdown after a loaded first weekend. Still, there are plenty of things to keep an eye on.
Arkansas at No. 15 TCU. Not a lot from which to choose on the menu this week, but the Horned Frogs are considered a Big 12 contender and the Razorbacks aspire to push Alabama in the SEC West.
Neither team looked capable of those lofty goals last week. Arkansas had a one-point victory against Louisiana Tech and TCU got into a scorefest with FCS South Dakota State before pulling away in the fourth quarter. Maybe both were looking ahead?
The style matchup could provide some intrigue. Bret Bielema's Hogs, ideally, like to ground-and-pound. Gary Patterson's Frogs play fast and like to go deep.
Subplot: The SEC got knocked around a little in week one. This is its best shot this week to get some bragging rights back.
11 — The second-longest winning streak in the country belongs to San Diego State. The Aztec's streak is also the second-longest in school history. They won 21 in a row under the great Don Coryell from 1968-70. San Diego State faces California on Saturday and the Aztecs are seven-point favorites against the Pac-12 team.
14 — Number of tackles for loss allowed by Auburn, most in the nation. The Tigers play coach Gus Malzahn's old team, Arkansas State. The Red Wolves had six tackles for loss in a loss to Toledo last week.
16 — Number of years it has been since Penn State and Pitt played. The Nittany Lions and Panthers renew a rivalry on Saturday in Pittsburgh that many Penn State supporters seem to view as more of a nuisance than an obligation.
16.7 — Average yards per pass attempt for Western Kentucky QB Mike White, best in the nation by more than three years. The Hilltoppers play No. 1 Alabama on Saturday.
New Mexico State hosts New Mexico in the 106th edition of the Rio Grande rivalry. The Lobos have won four straight after the Aggies had taken three straight. Overall, New Mexico holds a 70-31-5 lead.
Kentucky's Mark Stoops started an important season with a deflating loss to Southern Mississippi last week. The Wildcats led by 25 in the first half and lost 44-35 at home. Now they visit Florida, trying to snap a 29-game losing streak to the Gators.
It is the longest current losing streak (or winning streak, depending on your perspective) in an uninterrupted series and the fourth longest such streak in major college football history.
Stoops has had three losing season at Kentucky so simply getting to six wins and bowl eligibility would be a step forward. It's going to be much tougher to get there now, though a $12 million buyout likely increases his security in Lexington.

Our word art uses the scripture Psalm 63:3 "Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee". The psalmist was simply saying that having the favor of God in his life made it worth living. When a person lives without the love of God during their lifetime, they aren't really "living" and enjoying life because their eternal hope is lost. What is there to live for and look forward to? Having the joy that the promises of knowing and loving God brings, and knowing and being loved BY God is truly better than life (a life without). When we know God personally, our whole life becomes worth living because our eternal hope is in Him...not on this earth. We claim God's promises by not complaining about life's trials, but by trusting that He will always take care of us. We "praise Him" because of His love for us (what He did for us), and we live for Him because of what He has promised us. A life lived in the lovingkindness of Jesus Christ really is better than life, and I know that I will praise Him as long as I have breath. If you don't yet know of His lovingkindness personally, let today be the day you call on Jesus Christ to give you the gift that truly is "better than life".
As always, you are welcome to save the free scripture/word art file to your computer, but are never required to use it in order to play along in our challenges.

We all know how confusing and complex benefits and healthcare terms can be- the difference between deductible and co-insurance is a common question for many and there are plenty of others like it. When you are comfortable and confident in how your plan works, you can make an informed decision on HOW to use and take advantage of your benefits!
We have created a list and explanation of the most common terms to help you understand and better utilize your health benefits:
- Co-payment: An amount you pay as your share of the cost for a medical service or item, like a doctor's visit. Co-pays are most common for emergency room, urgent care and prescription drugs. In some cases, you may be responsible for paying a co‐pay as well as a percentage of the remaining charges.
- Co-insurance: Your share of the cost for a covered health care service, usually calculated as a percentage (like 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if your plan has a 30% co-insurance rate, the carrier will pay 70% of the allowed amount while you pay the balance.
- Deductible: The amount you owe for covered health care services before your health insurance or plan begins to pay. For example, many plans require an individual to pay $1,000 in cumulative deductibles before they begin paying out.
- Dependent coverage: Health insurance coverage extended to the spouse and unmarried children up to age 26 who are totally or substantially reliant on their parents for support, thereby defined as "dependent children".
- Explanation of Benefits (EOB): Every time you use your health insurance, your health plan sends you a record called an "explanation of benefits" (EOB) or "member health statement" that explains how much you owe. The EOB also shows the total cost of care, how much your plan paid and the amount an in-¬network doctor or other healthcare professional is allowed to charge a plan member (called the "allowed amount").
- In-Network Provider: A provider who has a contract with your health insurer or plan to provide services to you at a discount. In-Network Providers have contracted with the insurance carrier to accept reduced fees for services provided to plan members. Using in-network providers will cost you less money. When contacting an In-Network Provider, remember to ask, "are you a contracted provider with my plan?" Never ask if a provider "takes" your insurance, as they will all take it. The key phrase is contracted.
- Open Enrollment: A period during which a health insurance company is required to accept applicants without regard to health history.
- Out-of-Network Provider: A provider who doesn't have a contract with your health insurer or plan to provide services to you at a pre-negotiated discount. You'll pay more to see an out-of-network provider, sometimes referred to as an out-of-network provider.
- Out-of-Pocket Maximum: The limit or most you'll pay out of your own pocket for services during your insurance plan period (usually one year).
- Premium: The amount you pay for your health insurance or plan each month.
- Qualifying Life Event (QLE): A change in your life that allows you to make changes to your benefits' coverage outside of the annual open enrollment period. These changes include a change in marital status (marriage, divorce, death of spouse), a change in the number of eligible children (birth, adoption, death, aging-out), and a change in a family member's benefits eligibility under another plan (losing a job, Medicare or Medicaid eligibility, etc.)
In addition to understanding these common terms, there are other ways to utilize your benefits, save money and make an informed decision based on your specific needs.
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA): Funded through pre-tax payroll deductions, an FSA is a cost-savings tool that allows you to pay for qualified healthcare-related expenses with pre-tax dollars. Funds deposited in an FSA must be spent in the same year in which they are set aside, or they are forfeited. This rule is often referred to as "use it or lose it".
- Health Reimbursement Account (HRA): An employer-funded savings plan that will reimburse you for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Unlike an FSA, however, you don't "use it or lose it" – unused balances will roll over and accumulate over time, though the account cannot be "cashed-out."
- Health Savings Account (HSA) A savings product that serves as a substitute for traditional health insurance. HSAs enable you to pay for current health costs. They also allow you to save for future medical and retiree health costs tax-free. Unlike an FSA, however, you don't "use it or lose it" – unused balances will roll over and accumulate over time and can be "cashed-out."
Understanding all of the terms and acronyms can feel like learning a new language, so it's helpful to have a basic reference chart. With a good understanding of what some healthcare "benefits lingo" means, it will be easier to find a plan that meets your needs and budget.

Preserving Respect and Responsibility
The University of Wisconsin-Stout expects good citizenship and responsible behavior from students. When these expectations are not met, the non-academic misconduct process may be used to redirect students into more acceptable patterns of behavior. This process encourages students to take responsibility for their choices and actions, allowing the University and student jointly to determine an appropriate disciplinary response.
Non-Academic Misconduct
Students need to know some types of behaviors may be deemed incompatible with membership in the University community. The type of conduct that rises to the level of non-academic misconduct as defined in UWS Chapter 17 can be described as conduct that harms self or others. While not exhaustive, some general types and examples of serious misconduct violations that may result in separation from the UW-System include:
Accusations of Non-Academic Misconduct
If a student is accused of non-academic misconduct, they have the right to participate in the conduct process by telling their side of the story, presenting evidence in support of that story, and having the story given full consideration by an investigator.
Non-academic misconduct allegations are investigated by professional staff from the Dean of Students Office or from University Housing who are trained in conduct.

One of the commandments states "place no other gods before me". Does this mean God is implying the existence of other gods, or why is this explicitly stated?
The Biblical universe also includes a varied cast of supernatural characters like Lucifer, Metatron, Archangels, Demons, Seraphim, etc. Some of these manifest with power in the world and represent the roles of messengers, warriors, healers, advisers, protectors, troublemakers, and so on.
Why are these not acknowledged as "gods" or "lesser gods" like in the pantheons of other religions: how is the nature of their existence different?
On what basis is Christianity classified as monotheistic given the existence of other powerful beings in the Bible?

Product Overview
Click Images to Enlarge
These headphones come in an attractive box with a wide window for viewing. Unpacking it was a little difficult because of the small thin cardboard box that held the cord in place (which ripped a little on the way out). A minor inconvenience. It comes with a cloth bag and warranty information. The first thing that was noticed was the bright color and the loud dragon symbol! Their slogan rings true with this particular product. The head band has a mesh lining on the inside which makes it breathable and comfortable, not to mention eye catching. The smooth faux leather ear pieces also makes wearing these very comfortable, while also attractive.

The ear pieces rotate and are adjustable in a way where they can be also folded up so you can slip it into the provided cloth bag, making it convenient to carry with you. The connector is a standard gold 3.5 mm with the cord protected in thick rubber-like plastic, giving it a neat aesthetic and also preventing accidental tear.

The adjustments allowed by this head set is about a one and 1/2 inches on each side, which doesn't sound like much, but the head band is already pretty long so it will fit on most people very comfortably.

This was tested with Guild Wars 2, Pandora and a blu-ray movie.
All the sounds that came from the headset had life behind it; there was a good amount of bass and depth. Different types of music was tried with this set: classical, indie and modern. Indie and modern sounded great, but the classical sounded a little less lively. It's not too much where it would be a deal breaker, but it seems the Chao Dracco performs best at music and sounds that are full toned.
There were a couple minor issues: the voices in both the blu-ray movie and game had a good amount of echo. Also, when moving the mouse around, there's a very faint electrical scraping like sound. It's very unusual and barely even noticeable (you'd have to have all sounds off and be listening for it), but we felt that it was something to note. In addition to that, it doesn't come with any software, so having any kind of special features is impossible.
The Chao Dracco is a great at producing sounds that will get you dancing and making you look stylish while doing it. The comfortable padded ear pieces contain excellent little magnet speakers and are great at sealing out environmental babble, even without noise cancelling software, so you will be immersed in what you are listening to.
These headphones are great for those who are looking for something simple that puts out wonderful sound, but for those looking to be able to tweak their sounds and extra features, you're going to have to look elsewhere.
OUR VERDICT: Thermaltake eSPORTS Chao Dracco | ||||||||||||||||||
Summary: The Chao Dracco, although lacking features, is very simple to use, has high quality and is very versatile. Thus earning it the Bjorn3D Silver Award |

New Jersey Release of Gun Data Lauded and Deplored
Gun control advocates hail the move as a trailblazing use of information, but Second Amendment advocates suspect it's little more than a way to get around federal restrictions on release of firearms data.TRENTON, N.J.—Gun control advocates are hailing New Jersey's release of near-real-time firearms trafficking data as a trailblazing use of federal information, but Second Amendment advocates and skeptical Republicans question whether the report amounts to a way around a federal limitation on the release of some data.
Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy unveiled the data Tuesday as part of a campaign promise to strengthen New Jersey's already-tight gun laws. The colorful, four-page report uses what gun control supporters say is a novelty: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gun-trace data for the first quarter of 2018 to show that 77 percent of guns used in crimes in New Jersey come from out of state.
The publication appears to be the first time a state has taken advantage of the ATF data with such speed, according to experts at the gun safety Giffords organization and the Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Cities, most notably Chicago, have used the ATF data in reports, but those came out annually. New Jersey has pledged to post monthly data and quarterly data based on ATF reports.
"New Jersey stepped up, said we have this data, we get it from ATF and we're going do the work to gather, visualize and then publicize this," David Chipman, a former ATF agent and the senior policy adviser at Giffords, the organization named for gun-attack victim and former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
The data release comes amid a national conversation surrounding gun control in the aftermath of fatal shootings at a high school in Parkland, Florida, and as Democrats push for tighter gun laws while the Republican-led Congress has not passed any such measures.
In New Jersey, Murphy and the Democrat-led Legislature are pushing a package of six gun control bills.
The speed of the state's release of ATF data stands out particularly because the most current information the bureau has publicized is from 2016.
ATF Special Agent Joshua Jackson said the bureau won't comment on how a state could publicize data faster than the agency itself. He also said the bureau doesn't track state initiatives in response to questions about whether New Jersey was the first to publish the data this quickly.
Chipman and Kyleanne Hunter, the Brady Campaign's vice president for programs, said they believe ATF does not prioritize near-real-time release of data.
"It hasn't been a priority, even less so in this administration," Hunter said of President Donald Trump.
Speedy data reporting by ATF is also a political lightning rod. That's because the ATF's release of data is governed by an appropriations provision that prohibits it from releasing information from its firearms trace database to anyone other than a law enforcement agency or prosecutor in connection with a criminal investigation.
That has led Second Amendment advocates to raise concerns over the publicizing of such information.
The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, an affiliate of the National Rifle Association, said Murphy could be skirting the federal provision on gun data.
"This is part of a larger regional effort by Murphy's coalition of anti-gun states to circumvent federal restrictions on release of gun trace data, and to manipulate data for the purposes of influencing public policy in other states," the group said in a statement.
The group also worries that the data leaves out all the cases when guns are used to stop crimes.
Murphy spokesman Dan Bryan said the governor believes the data will encourage other states to strengthen their own gun laws, or to join the multistate regional gun safety coalition that Murphy helped establish.
Republicans say it's hardly a surprise that most of the crime-related guns recovered by law enforcement in New Jersey have come from out of state, saying it's a result of the state's tough gun laws. They also argue that the reports don't support the governor's push for the legislation, including measures to limit the size of magazines from 15 rounds to 10.
"He's just grandstanding," said Republican Assemblyman Erik Peterson. "There's nothing in the reports that anyone would have thought wasn't the case."
Gun control has been a major focus in Murphy's first year in office. Beyond the new reports, Murphy appointed a gun safety adviser whose role is focused on pursuing litigation and joined the multistate gun control coalition.

Last summer we hosted the legendary, once-in-a-lifetime Ridgefood Grocery Shopping Tour. Here, finally, is our long-awaited roundup of all the places we visited. The good news is: since we waited almost a year to write this post, it's summer again, which means it's the perfect time spend a leisurely, sunny Saturday afternoon checking out all these amazing places!
(See below for the Ridgefood Grocery Shopping Tour Map)
1. Ridgewood Youthmarket
What it is: Farmer's market
Location: Ridgewood Remembrance Triangle (Myrtle & Cypress)
The tour group—including me (Mollie), occasional Ridgefood contributor Ari, guest Instagrammer Alaina, and special guests Anne and Stephen—met at the Ridgewood Youthmarket, a seasonal farmer's market that sets up shop in the Ridgewood Veterans Triangle every Saturday. Last year at the market, we scored kohlrabi, orange & yellow carrots, and kale. The market is open from 9am–3pm, now through November 22nd.
2. Mt. Everest Grocery & Deli
What it is: Indian & Nepalese market
Location: 5609 Myrtle Avenue (between Cornelia & Cypress)
Next, we headed to Mt. Everest—a quintessential Ridgewood establishment in that it looks pretty mediocre/shady from the outside, but then once you get inside you're pleasantly surprised by what it has to offer. Ignore the cat-pee smell and explore the aisles; the Indian food is in the back. And be sure to check out the freezer, where you'll find homemade momos, paneer, and other Indian & Nepali delights.
Stuff we bought: frozen roti (Stephen), cilantro chutney (Ari)
3. Fancy Fruit
What it is: Fruit & vegetable market featuring Italian and other European products
Location: 56-11 Catalpa Avenue (near Myrtle)
The group quickly cruised through Fancy Fruit, an indispensable and uber-cheap greengrocer just off Myrtle Ave. I stock up on produce here once or twice a week and rarely spend more than $15. Also, check out their impressive dried pasta selection (and their simple and excellent Mamma Lombardi's tomato sauce is a staple in our house).

Early this morning, in the dead of night – 2:26 a.m., Connecticut's House of Representatives voted to pass a repressive 139 page gun control bill. The vote was 105 to 44, with two absent. Of the 98 Democrats present, 13, and 31 of the 51 Republicans present voted no. The state Senate approved it Wednesday evening, by a 26-10 vote. Two of 22 Democrats and eight of the 14 Republicans voted no.
Connecticut's new restrictions on citizens Constitutional right to bear arms is said to be a response to the horrific murders of 20 children and six adults in Newtown's Sandy Hook elementary school last December. Sadly, nothing in the 139 page bill would have done anything to prevent the killings. Nor does it do anything to prevent another such incident.
The legislation will only further suppress the Constitutional right of law-abiding Connecticut citizens to bear arms thereby making them additional victims of a young madman. As reported by J.D. Tuccille, according to a summary prepared by Connecticut's Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety, the bill, the so-called "Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety," includes the following provisions:
- A "dangerous weapon offender" registry: Anybody convicted of any of more than 40 enumerated weapons offenses (mostly gun offenses) or another felony involving the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon will have to register with the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The list will be available only to law enforcement, and registrants will remain on it for five years, not life, but they must update their addresses with state authorities, just like sex offenders.
- Universal background checks: "Immediately upon passage, no pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun can be sold to any Connecticut resident until the buyer undergoes and passes a national criminal background check -- whether such sale is private, at a gun show, or through a dealer"
- Expanded "assault weapons" ban: Bans more than 100 specific weapons in addition to those already illegal in the state, as well as any weapon that has just one of an expanded list of "military-style features." Currently owned weapons are grandfathered, though under tight restrictions.
- Ban on "large capacity magazines": New state limit of ten rounds. Grandfathers existing magazines subject to registration, though such magazines can never be loaded with more than ten rounds outside the owner's home or a shooting range. Acquiring a new large capacity magazine after the ban, or failing to register an existing one, becomes a class D felony.
- Eligibility certificates to purchase rifles, shotguns or ammunition: Certificate applicants must "undergo a firearms safety training course, be fingerprinted, and undergo a national criminal background and involuntary commitment /voluntary admission check."
- Enhanced firearms storage requirements: Owners must securely store firearms if "any resident of the premises where the firearm is stored is ineligible to possess a firearm" or "poses a risk of imminent personal injury to himself or herself or to other individuals."
- Restrictions on firearms possession by those with mental illness: Expands restrictions on those who have been involuntarily committed from 12 to 60 months and imposes a six-month ban on firearms possession on those who voluntarily admit themselves to a psychiatric facility.
That's right, Connecticut's new gun control bill requires that large capacity magazines be registered with the state.
Connecticut lawmakers were obviously afraid of the reaction of gun rights supporters. Not only did they pass the bill in the middle of the night, they avoided the usual public hearings and committee referrals by considering the bill under an "emergency certification." As J.D. Tuccille also points out, that means noone got to "raise objections, such as pointing out that that the new law would not have done anything to prevent the Sandy Hook massacre:
The guns Adam Lanza used were registered to his mother. She qualified to own firearms under the old rules and there's no reason to believe the new restrictions would have barred her ownership of guns in any way. She still would have passed the checks and earned her certificates. At 20, Lanza would be too young to purchase rifles under the new law, but, again, he used his mother's guns. Some reports speculate that Adam Lanza feared that his mother might have him committed, or move him out of state to attend a special school, but nothing of the sort had yet happened, so he wouldn't have fallen under the law's mental health restrictions.
Perhaps some of the magazines he used would have fallen under the new law, but even if these proposals had moved forward a year ago, those magazines would have been grandfathered. So would the weapons used, even if they didn't make the cut under the new law.
The gun rights advocates, who greatly outnumbered gun control supporters in demonstrations held at the Capitol Wednesday, wasted their time. The lawmakers weren't about to listen to their objections. The only thing they accomplished was highlighting the state officials' fear of the dissenters when Gov. Malloy's scheduled appearance at an autism awareness event was canceled.
The only thing that would have changed things at Sandy Hook would have been an armed person at the school. The feel good legislation passed by the Connecticut legislature would have not prevented the Sandy Hook killings and does nothing to prevent another such massacre. The new law only makes us all less free.

Text of Letter From President Bush to the Speaker of the House & President Pro Tempore of the Senate
Friday March
21, 2003
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:) On March 18, 2003, I made available to you, consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), my determination that further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq, nor lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq. I have reluctantly concluded, along with other coalition leaders, that only the use of armed force will accomplish these objectives and restore international peace and security in the area. I have also determined that the use of armed force against Iraq is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organiza-tions, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. United States objectives also support a transition to democracy in Iraq, as contemplated by the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-338). Consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148), I now inform you that pursuant to my authority as Commander in Chief and consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1) and the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), I directed U.S. Armed Forces, operating with other coalition forces, to commence combat operations on March 19, 2003, against Iraq. These military operations have been carefully planned to accomplish our goals with the minimum loss of life among coalition military forces and to innocent civilians. It is not possible to know at this time either the duration of active combat operations or the scope or duration of the deployment of U.S. Armed Forces necessary to accomplish our goals fully. As we continue our united efforts to disarm Iraq in pursuit of peace, stability, and security both in the Gulf region and in the United States, I look forward to our continued consultation and cooperation. Sincerely, GEORGE W. BUSH |

Basement Roma
June 28 — August 30, 2017
Mythologies are dead, they have always been. But even as corpses, they've been used as political strategies to manipulate fiction and facts. Fictional narratives have defined culture, its historicity, its legacy. Drama. Goosebumps visible in our skin. Chills. The amplification of the voice. The soundtrack of the film. Attitudes change. Behavioral patterns change, adapting to new forms of recognition. The stream of our social media accounts translated by ignorant algorithms. Liquid and opaque forms of identity. The movements of the body. The most superficial of all gestures can never be taken lightly, even if it tries hard to be disguised with bright colors, with feathers and fumes.
A year ago, exactly on the same date of the opening of this exhibition at Basement Roma, I arrived in Los Angeles. I had never been to the city, and to me L.A. represented the geographical point of the production of what is called the spectacle, a sort of dead-end or end point of Western civilization. The amount of fiction written for films, tv and all sorts of shows that come from there, generates an overproduction of narratives that intend to alienate the spectator while mixing and re-creating personal and historical moments. The entertainment business is a form of capitalist production that alters our perspective on the events happening around us. For example, the way politics is represented in fiction is, in many cases, deprived of ethics. And it continues to do so through an ever growing network of mythologies.
If we think carefully on the process of how narratives and mythologies travelled from Ancient Greece, re-interpreted through Rome, we can analyze the process of how culture in the West has been produced, how philosophy, fiction writing, poetry, music and the visual arts, have transformed themselves as part of a capitalist machine. The mass production of images, the representation of the human body, the representation of nature on Western culture changed quite drastically since early capitalism. Under forms of appropriation and colonization, our interactions within the available communication systems are surveilled and monitored. Our exchanges are now translated into big data. And data has now surpassed oil as the most valuable resource in the world, and we are all contributing with different types of content. The goal of fiction today is to pretend that there is a continuation, that the grand narrative never dies. Season after season of endless stories that colonize our lives. Our brains have been programmed to accept Trump as president via Frank Underwood in House of Cards. Our imagination was colonized so we could accept that type of person as a political figure.
The title I gave this exhibition, Sequel, refers to the disbelief of Western traditions of narrative and representation in the moment we're living. But I need to ask myself and you: how can our imagination resist? How can we stop our imagination from being colonized by these myths? What can art and thought do facing these forms of fictional politics? What is left for us to write? Are we supposed to resist this endless present of small narratives that hide the big narratives of capital? Should we think about an ecology of production of data, an ecology of immaterial labour?
In her book, The Responsibility of Fiction Writing in Neoliberal Capitalist Societies (Duvida Press, 2014), writer Leonora Jones talks about the necessity of awareness in the growing use of text in our communications, specially in the interactions in social media, and how data is used, transformed and profited by capital, as it manifests the exposure and altered states of subjectivity produced within a neoliberal post-capitalist society. Along with the growing abstraction of value and human interactions, new forms of passivity, of spectatorship and consumption require a response to new models of action and community. The apparent fluidity of circulation and distribution are represented by a materiality that is not fixed. Jones asks: "How can we represent a state of constant transformation, if it changes shape at any moment, like an ecosystem needs to adapt and mutate to the surrounding environment?" And she continues: "We should act in a form of conscious resistance, not as passive spectators". Jones mentions Naomi Klein's NO LOGO (Picador, 1999) and her take on Milton Friedman, who Klein claims to be "the architect of the global corporate takeover". Jones underlines her idea with the fact that Klein illustrates this chapter of her text with footage of two members of the activist group Biotic Baking Brigade, who threw a pie at Milton Friedman, when the economist was leaving a corporate conference in San Francisco in 1998.

United House Publishing was 100% an answer to prayer. I knew that God called me to write books, but I wasn't in a good position to publish according to certain industry expectations. I continued to be faithful, knowing God would make a way. AND HE DID. United House is such a champion for the underdog—for the one who doesn't have a huge platform but wants to be obedient to God. I was so blessed by the process from start to finish. From the heart and help of the revision team, to editing, coaching, and everything in between. United House was, and is, an incredible company to be part of!
United House Publishing is absolutely GREAT to work! I previously published a book alone... and it was so hard. But UHP gives support like no other! When they say they are praying over you and your work, you KNOW it! The author coaches I have worked with have been awesome. Not only do they help you set and crush your writing goals, they also help you pursue wellness in all aspects of your life, and you can't put a price tag on that!
God gave me the words to write a book and then He sent me to the perfect place to publish it—United House Publishing! The thought of editing and publishing a book was new and overwhelming. However, through God's peace and directing me to UHP the whole process was made easier. I felt "safe" and "at ease" sharing the story God gave me to UHP, because they treated me and my manuscript with respect. I'm thankful I obeyed God and worked with UHP to publish my very first book.
As a person who has NEVER considered herself a writer, it is no shock I was in need of help when I felt led to publish my first book. I am so blessed that I was referred to UHP. I started my writing journey so afraid of the process, not sure where to start or what to expect. It was such a huge relief to have a team of authentic writers, editors, mentor me along the way as I pushed back fears of intimidation that tried to stop me. With UHP I found my writing voice. The monthly coaching calls were especially important to keep me going when idleness or doubt crept in (because it will). Having UHP to pray with me, refine my writing skills and keep me accountable made all the difference between beginning to write a book to actually finishing it!
The reason why I love UNITED HOUSE Publishing is because all you have to do is write, and they take care of the rest. It's simple and I LOVE IT!
UNITED HOUSE Publishing has been like the roadblock-remover to my dreams and my calling. It's because of them that I have got to become all I have dreamed of: An Author!

In a quest for a great curry and a spicy Indian banquet, KIRSTIN HANNAFORD heads out to Dabbawal, a recent contestant in Newcastle's Argie Bhaji Curry Battle, and finds that although they didn't win the battle they may just win the war!
It's a common misconception when you live with a chef that you must get delicious meals cooked for you every evening. What people clearly forget is that he works long shifts most days, rarely has weekends off and any free time he does get is more than likely spent catching up on his sleep.
When he does cook at home, and to be fair it's a lot more often than I do, it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that it will be a curry. There's nothing he loves more than creating a huge big steamy pot of generously spiced beef and spinach Madras and inviting a crowd of friends over to enjoy the results. I think it has something to do with his love of flavours and his slightly worrying obsession with the kind of obscure sounding ingredients that your everyday supermarket wouldn't even know existed. Needless to say, he does curry well. With such high standards at home when we treat ourselves to an Indian takeaway or frequent one of the many local Indian restaurants, it has to be something special to impress.
When we found out about Wylam Brewery's Argie Bhaji Curry Battle last weekend I got a craving for spicy cuisine. It seemed the perfect chance to catch up with some old friends for a good beer and a spot of curry all together in one place. Plus, the opportunity to try offerings from the likes of Sachins, Dabbawal and Curry Rolls was one not to be missed. Hot off the heels of their Battle of the Burgers event back in September and billed as a sensory overload of all things Indian spice, I have to admit I was quite excited.
Unfortunately, it was not to be as the unexpected hordes of hungry curry lovers led to a jam packed venue and queues for food that even my stomach couldn't wait for. My hankering for a good quality Indian feast was sadly left unfulfilled. Not one to give up easily, I had a word in the other half's ear and managed to persuade him that we ought to try out one of the contenders in situ. And so, the following Tuesday evening we ventured to Dabawal's Newcastle restaurant in the hope of an Indian banquet to top all others.
The modern looking eatery is tucked away on High Bridge Street, but when we arrived around 9pm we found most tables occupied, which for a week night can only be a good sign. Simply furnished with unclothed wooden tables, industrial light fittings and brightly coloured graphics adorning the walls, it provided a well needed haven from the bitter Geordie weather.
The restaurant is named after the dabbawallas – lunchbox delivery men, who bring the comfort of home-cooked food to offices in cities across India – or so I was helpfully informed by my curry connoisseur husband as we were guided to our table by a friendly waiter. While appreciative of the lesson in Indian culture my eyes turned quickly to the menu which offers an array of Indian street food served tapas-style as well as a range of traditional and more imaginative sounding curries. Accompanied by a friend, we chose not to be our usual selfish selves and opted to eat socially, sharing everything, making our selections from the street food tapas menu.
The Vegetable Samosa Chaat – a dome of sliced crispy samosa parcels on top of a spicy chickpea sauce, drizzled with tamarind and yogurt – was crunchy, fragrant and very moreish. On the recommendation of the waitress we also went for Haryali Chicken Tikka, succulent chicken breast pieces marinated in coriander, mint yoghurt and green chili. Perhaps the best chicken tikka I've ever tried and I was pleased we'd asked for the expert advice.
The Seekh Kebab Kybria – spiced minced lamb kebabs with red onion and sweet peppers – were tasty but a bit dry and in my opinion would have benefited from a bit less time in the oven and a tad more yoghurt sauce, but they were devoured all the same. With the addition of some juicy Citrus King Prawns, and sides of Lentil Battered Okra and creamy Paneer and Spinach we were set for the night.
We chose to mop up the sauces with some steamed rice, a perfectly baked roti and a somewhat disappointing Peshwari naan. It was overly sweet, with congealed sugar crystals clearly visible on the surface of the dough and the only real let down of the night.
It might be stating the obvious but none of us had room for dessert and with work calling in the morning it was time to head for home. Carrying on the sharing spirit we split the bill three ways. In my view £22 each for an over generous helping of spicy delights, a bottle of cobra beer and two large glasses of house red wine wasn't bad value.
With the majority of dishes hitting the mark and impeccable service throughout from attentive, knowledgeable and friendly staff, Dabawal may not have been crowned the winners of Wylam Brewery's Curry Battle (that prize went to Curry Rolls), but they definitely won us over. I certainly won't be giving up the home cooked curry from my mister, but we'll absolutely go back to Dabawal for seconds.
