Pasta Para Duros: The 30 Second Snack
In our neighborhood, there's a tienda on every corner which sells duros, cooked and uncooked. You've probably seen bags of these before, wagon wheel in shape — they almost look like little sliced tomatoes.
If you haven't, then keep your eyes peeled because man oh man — you've got to try these!
Pasta para duros are a wheat pasta that's found in clear, usually unmarked containers in most grocery stores across the country (especially those with a Latin American influence). They hide out with small packages of beans or dried seasonings, usually in those cubbies under the produce bins, often with the dried fruits in the same area.
If you take a stroll to a neighborhood like ours, with a heavy "South of the Border" influence, they'll be in abundance, sitting behind almost every cash register where food (of any kind) is sold. Although they look like a pasta in their "raw" form, they're anything but.
A quick 20-30 second trip through the microwave will puff them up like a pork rind, ready to eat. They're best with a sprinkling of chili powder and lime juice (often mixed together and drizzled on like butter to movie theater popcorn), and are sure to curb your craving for some crunch. If you're making a large batch for family or friends, don't be afraid to fry them, they're just as tasty and you can make more at one go instead of standing in front of the microwave for 30 minutes!
Are you already a duros fan? Do you have a favorite way to eat them? Let us know below!

"South of the Border" influence? Cliched, don't you think?
Boo-hoo jrboitel
What a strange, cool little snack! I'll bet this is one of those things where now that I know they exist I'll see them everywhere. Hopefully, anyway, would love to try them!
I see these all over my neighborhood! Now I just need to get over my fear of being the intrusive white girl to buy a bag.
would you put the chili lime juice on before you microwave them or after?
Either they "are a wheat pasta" or they "look like a pasta in their 'raw' form, but they're anything but." Which is it? They sound intriguing, though.
Oh my gosh, these are the BEST things ever!
They call them "chicarones" as well, even though these kinds aren't made of pork skins.
I personally like them doused in chili sauce and lemon or lime juice. It's perfect if you get a crunchy one AND a mushy one together...I'm salivating just thinking about it!
I crave these every once in a while, as I'm used to seeing them on the streets of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, they don't have them in Boston.
Someone want to send me a bag to microwave?
Awesome! These are everywhere in my new neighborhood in Chicago and I'm super excited to try them. I was under the impression that you had to deep fry these to eat them, and I simply don't deep fry anything--I leave that up to restaurants since it's so messy and only occasionally justifiable.
Do you just put them in a microwave safe bowl and throw them in the microwave? You don't do anything else to them?
They actually had similar little pasta shaped snacks in Morocco whenever I studied there...
I always thought those *were* pork rinds! Thanks for this post.
caliH - You'd add it after for sure! You can also get a chili lime seasoning powder if you're not into soggy carbs (though the traditional wet lime juice is the more common practice).
JenNews321 - Technically speaking the combination of flour and water used to make them would make them a pasta, though they're never (ever) boiled for eating in that manner.
GreenMermaid - Melissa's makes them in small packages which can be ordered from Amazon if you're looking for a backup snack for the pantry in Boston!
lotusmoss - You don't do a thing! Just place them on a plate or paper towel and cook on full power for 20-30 seconds. That's it!
caseoftornados - Although they look similar since they're puffy, one is wheat and the other is pork skin. They have about the same calorie count, but the pork rinds have a higher protein value!
30 second or 30 minutes? you said both...
@sarahrae: Thank you!
We haven't been using a microwave these days and I've totally seen those little buggers around. (We just moved to San Diego!)
Do you think I could put them in the oven for the same effect?
sarita4 - Thanks for the catch... 30 seconds for sure!
esea - If you're in San Diego, there's a good chance you can find them fresh at many of the stores in the area already cooked. I didn't find any references to baking them anywhere online, I would suggest a small pot with a half cup of oil instead and fry them to be safe.
The paleteros in our neighborhood carry big bags of these, they'll pour a bunch of Valentina hot sauce over them if you like - really good!
Never in a million years would I think to nuke these things. All those years I went w/o because I thought they were saturated with fat. Before I knew what those were, I bought a bag on Mission St, tried to boil them when I got home. That didn't work out. I ended up painting them and hanging them on the Christmas tree. Now I can't wait to grab a bag after work!
We have these at all the local grocery stores in huge bins by the dried beans. I honestly never knew what they were besides something I see the kids playing in with their hands. Now I know!
Those are in regular grocery stores here...maybe because it's Dallas??
Green Mermaid- try the Hi-Lo Foods in Jamaica Plain or the Stop and Shop (both on Center Street). If you can't find them there, there's a Hispanic market on the corner of Washington and Melnea Cass Blvd.
thanks for the post! I've seen these things everywhere and never knew what they were. They are delicious and so fast! I'm a huge fan now
Too much fun! I bought a little scoop of the duros today and as soon as I got home popped one in the microwave--45 seconds later, YUM! So fun! Never had them before, but now I'm sold. These will for sure be served at my next gathering.
finally found these in orlando :-)

Sorry, but I'm going to have to go and give you a big thumbs down.
Your arguement is moot, because as shown in many AE/CoC AoEing videos, you have mobs bashing on you constantly. So saying it's a horrible AoEing strat because you have mobs COMING AT YOU, while ignoring that mobs are ON YOU the entire time while doing a CoC/AE thing seems like you really don't know what you're talking about.
Not to mention that you have apparentally never done a true Blizzard AoEing strat, because in most cases, you do not leave them in a line, nor do mobs have any conception of othe rmobs, so they do not space themselves out from other mobs. They bunch up onyou, and move in a group. Plus, you have FN to hold them in place while you are positioning yourself, and blink for distance.
Now, I'm sure people have done perfectly fine w/ AE/CoC/Flamestrike...but personally, I'd rather just have to drink up on mana, knowing full well my HP is fine should something go wrong, as opposed to knowing that no matter what, I'm going to take damage, and most likely die sitting next to the mobs the entire time.

"I'm Not Allowed on Israel's Segregated Buses"
Boycott Israel Campaign 2012
For more information visit: http://inminds.co.uk/boycott-israel-2012.php
Israel has agreed to free Khader Adnan, a Palestinian detained without charge, who has been on hunger strike for more than nine weeks, one of his lawyers has said.
The revelation came hours before the supreme court was to hear an urgent appeal on Tuesday for Adnan's release.
The lawyer said that a settlement had been reached for ending his detention.
The continued 'administrative detention' of the Palestinian from the West Bank had stroked global anger with protesters clashing again with police in the West Bank on Tuesday.
Israel arrested Adnan, a 33-year-old baker, on December 17 near the northern West Bank town of Jenin. Israel accuses him of being a spokesman for the Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad.
He told lawyers and human rights organisations that masked soldiers violently broke into his house, where his mother and children were present.
Adnan said that his hands were shackled behind him and that he was thrown onto the floor of the military jeep and kicked and slapped by soldiers while they took him to the settlement of Mevo Dotan.
He began refusing food a day after his arrest and is now said to be in critical condition.
Earlier, Saeb Erakat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, urged world leaders to pressure Israel to free Adnan.
"I sent messages to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton today, and spoke with the EU and Chinese envoys," Erakat told AFP news agency.
"I asked them all to intervene in Adnan's case. They must apply pressure on Israel to release him," he said.
World leaders had expressed growing concern over the fate of the prisoner, who was held without charge under a procedure known as "administrative detention".
There are currently more than 300 Palestinians being held in administrative detention by Israel, without charge or trial, for renewable periods of six months, without any way of defending themselves.
Palestinian officials warned that his death in custody could start a violent backlash, while a spokeswoman for the Israel Prisons Service said on Sunday that they were "constantly monitoring" the situation.
"We understand the implications of this case," Sivan Weizman said.
But on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office went on the offensive, with a spokesman describing Adnan as "a dangerous terrorist" despite the fact he has yet to be charged with any security offences.
Until now, Adnan has not been charged and the military court that approved Adnan's detention has refused to release any details on the reason for his arrest or ongoing imprisonment.
Here is a link to a list of companies that support Israel.
Also the site provides proof on how the companies support Israel financially. As part of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement, boycotting these products is the first step. This is the least (seriously the least) we can do to support and help the Palestinians that must live under the Israeli Occupation.
Settlers attack activists outside Jerusalem, injuring 23 Israelis and Palestinians
According to Israeli activists, on Friday morning (Sept 30) Palestinian and Israeli activists were attacked by settlers near the settlement of Anatot, which is about 20 minutes drive outside of Jerusalem in the West Bank, just north of Maale Adumim. Activists came to accompany the owner of the plot of land to plant trees – when they were met by a large group of settlers, who attacked them and reportedly cracked open the head of the landowner and attacked his wife. The two have been hospitalized.
The only Israeli news outlet I've seen report on this is Ynetnews, which is reporting that 3 have been "lightly" injured in clashes between protestors and settlers, who "hurled stones at each other."
According to the Ta'ayush activist I spoke to who prefers to remain nameless, the landowner, Abu Salah al Rifai and his wife Ayman, hold the ownership papers for their land, on which the settlement of Anatot was built in the 1980's. Their case is a bit different from most Palestinians in the West Bank since Ayman has Israeli citizenship and therefore is actually allowed to enter the settlement and reach the land. The couple approached Ta'ayush activists several weeks ago and asked for help to prevent their land and property from being damaged by settlers.
Here is the Ta'ayush activists' account of what happened Friday, in his own words:
When we arrived Friday morning there was already a security officer there, who decided to call the police, but they did not interfere. However, more and more settlers from the area gathered on the main road a few hundred feet from where we were. I called the police and told them we felt in danger. There were some police cars on the road where the settlers were but they did not prevent the settlers from coming up to confront us. Some came up to us and started cursing and threatening. I called the police again. Then dozens came towards us and began attacking us. It really felt like a lynch. I was punched several times and fell to the ground and when I got up I rushed over to a border police officer and begged him to protect me and help me. I latched on to him for dear life but he didn't stop them. My camera was taken from me and broken and my glasses had broken somwhere. I began running to the street with another activist and managed to get away from the settlement while many others were still being attacked. I managed to get out with only a broken hand and some bruises.
Activists claim the police officers who were present at the scene did nothing while they saw the activists being beaten and their cameras smashed. Three other activists have been hospitalized and an additional three have been arrested by the police, who have not arrested any of the settlers, in spite of having witnessed everything.
Later in the day, more activists arrived to protest against the violence that took place earlier. They too were attacked and beaten and had stones thrown at them. In spite of police presence at the scene, the police did nothing.
Nineteen people were injured in the second attack, requiring medical attention, and three have been hospitalized. A total of 23 injuries were reported from this incident, and according to the twitter feed of a female activist who was there, settlers tried to rip her clothes off. There was also damage done to cars belonging to the activists, which were parked outside the settlement – smashed windshields, head and tail lights, and punctured tires.

31st August, 2011
Israeli settlers living in violation of international law in the West Bank have been issued stun grenades and tear gas by the Israeli military, in preparation for anticipated protests by Palestinians following the UN statehood declaration later this month.
The Israeli military has codenamed the planned attack on Palestinians "Operation Summer Seeds", which sounds much like the 2006 "Operation Summer Rains" in which 40,000 sound grenades and live missiles were dropped on the Gaza Strip over the course of the summer.
According to an internal Israeli government document leaked to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, Israeli troops distributed maps with red lines drawn on them around Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with instructions to soldiers that if Palestinian protesters get too close to the settlements, they should be shot in the legs.
The instructions do not differentiate between non-violent demonstrations by Palestinians and violent attacks by Palestinians, instead implying that non-violent demonstrators would be subjected to being shot in the legs if they cross a 'line' whose location has not been shared with any Palestinians.
"According to an internal Israeli government document leaked to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, Israeli troops distributed maps with red lines drawn on them around Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with instructions to soldiers that if Palestinian protesters get too close to the settlements, they should be shot in the legs."

Wonderful accommodations-Great family time
Even before our arrival the managers were very responsive to all my many questions. Upon our arrival we were pleasantly surprised and how well decorated both houses were and amazed by all the extras! Although we had a lot of rain we still enjoyed swimming, boat rides (both paddle boat and on the pontoon), fishing, jogs, bike rides and camp fires. The night sky around the camp fire was amazing. The owners were so nice and accommodating. This was a great value and a great time.
Our stay at the barn this summer was fantastic!
The description of the property was accurate....clean and well-maintained. There was plenty of room for our family and the game room was a big hit. We were able to fish off the dock for largemouth bass....golf at a great course less than a half hour away and relax by the fire pit. We hope to make a return visit next summer and would highly recommend this property.
Away from the hustle and bustle
Deer meadow is exactly what we had hoped it would be - a place away from it all but not too secluded. Although there is a neighbor next door, they were friendly. The house has all of the conveniences you would want (from heat to a/c to a fully stocked kitchen including utensils, pots/pans/ spices, microwave, coffee pot, etc.). They leave you "starter amounts" for most things (dish soap, coffee, sugar, cream, hand soap, tissues, toilet paper. I would recommend doing your grocery shopping before you arrive as the only place close by to get milk/bread/eggs is the Sugar Shack which, of course, is a lot more expensive than the Walmart. The Shack also has dvd's for rent, which is convenient and came in handy on a rainy day. A positive note in my opinion was that we didn't have internet (good change of pace for the kids to put away the electronic devices and hang together as a family). Our deposit was refunded quickly and the owners were a pleasure to do business with - even while we were there - they got back to us right away to answer any questions. Our "home away from home" was a very relaxing change from living in the city and was a nice getaway. Would recommend driving to the Islander's Way beach over the one on King's Way just because it is nicer (and the fishing is a little better there too). Thank you to Sue and Lin for the nice goodie basket on arrival. Made us feel special and very welcome. I would rent fromt he Three Sisters again!

"How did this happen?" is not a question people ask enough, and oftentimes when they do, it's rhetorical.
Naturally, I ponder this question often in my line of work; the music industry; prone to sweeping shifts and/or tumultuous twists throughout the course of a given day. In the case of the momentous release of Actual Wolf's debut LP on Chaperone, it deserves an actual* answer. *Okay, that's the last time I will use that shtick.
I have only known Eric Pollard as "Actual Wolf" for about as long as the rest of the world has. I became aware of this moniker and the ensuing Facebook/Youtube proliferation about the same time as everyone else. Having known Eric Pollard as a well-respected and proficient drummer, flush with local music street cred, as well as the guy who got busted for selling pot and moved to Nashville, I was intrigued by this apparent resurfacing campaign. After the seeing the first video- a lone wolf, wielding a guitar, on camera- I watched each subsequent video with ascending curiosity and, at times, amazement. I knew I was witnessing a rebirth. I knew something was pouring out out this guy's soul, or he was emerging from a cocoon. Or, perhaps it was more of a molting process- the shedding of layers to expose new growth beneath. The metaphors are plentiful, yet none of them quite adequate. Something was definitely happening.
Some months pass…
In early August, Chaperone Records bounded into the world, a team of six dudes- all artists or musicians- none of whom had a clue about how exactly it happened, just that it was happening. We just knew that we had a record label with a cool brand. By then, Actual Wolf had released his first (acoustic) EP, "Actual Wolf USA" and was making quite a name for himself in the coffee shops and bars of his hometown of Grand Rapids, where he had returned to, largely, as a stipulation of his probation. It was around this time that we got our hands on a copy of the EP he recorded as a response to the call of "Actual Wolf USA." Released in October of 2012, "Lightning & the Wolf," was the third record released by Chaperone, and easily our slickest sounding record to date.
Some time passes (mostly, a winter)…
When talk of a third album began circulating around familiar musical avenues, we were poised to accept an offer to release the record, but we also had enough on our plate to not go looking for more. Actual Wolf was, by this time, so immersed in the Minneapolis music scene that his name was nearly synonymous with the terms "hard-working," "hustling," and "musically ubiquitous." The man had carved out a niche so noteworthy- so luxurious- that one couldn't help but ask: "How did this happen?" I can't help but think it had something to do with his ability to write great songs, play a ton of gigs and leave an impression of genuine greatness on nearly everyone in his path. I dunno. It really helps if you not only play the part, but you actually* believe in it. *Sorry. Last time. Long story short, we put it out, TODAY. That's pretty much how that happened.

One day,
in early April, as Charlie sat on the $50, craigslist couch in my office, playfully pleading with me not to contribute to the "euro-Kickstarter (KissKissBankBank)" campaign funding the documentary film about him- which, at the time, was a hefty $3000, and a mere eight days from their goal- it only encouraged me. My contribution must've sparked something in Charlie, because two days later, he shared a link to the campaign in one of his famously-worded blog posts, and within 12 hours, it was fulfilled. That was just the beginning.
The film,
produced by a melange of creative individuals- all french- who call themselves The Meeting Team, premiered at the Duluth-Superior Film Festival less than two months later. As fate would have it, the Festival necessitated a liaison for the filmmakers as part of the "filmmaker exchange program" and, being a true, blue Duluthian, I volunteered to be said liaison. This is how I came to be acquainted with brothers François Xavier Dubois and Charles Dubois, two fourths of the Paris-based The Meeting Team. At some point, it occurred to both of us that working together in some capacity was probably going to be beneficial to both parties. We just weren't quite sure how.
This is how:
Oddly, while sitting in the standing-room-only theater, watching the premier, it didn't immediately register that the soundtrack, comprised of (excerpts of) live recordings taken during the filming, was so damn good that it would be a crime against humanity to not do something with it. So, with Charlie's blessing, and after some negotiation, and a bit of caressing, we did something.
In a very collaborative way, we procured a selection of songs from the original recordings, put them on vinyl, and Charlie named it "I Dreamed I Met Paul Bunyan Last Night." Then, we duplicated the DVD in two different formats (one US and one euro) and threw that in with the LP, and then we threw in an MP3 download card for the "complete soundtrack," 13 songs totaling over an hour. It's the total package, folks, and it's available for pre-order now, and in record stores across Minnesota on Tuesday, September 24th.

Positive Organizational Potential, Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour: a French/Polish comparison
AbstractThe analyses presented in this paper are based on the first step of the research project concerning the links between Positive Organizational Potential (POP), Organizational Commitment (OC) and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB). The survey was conducted in two samples and covered French and Polish firms. The results support a model adopted in the analysis and thus the importance of influence of POP, organizational culture and climate on employees' behaviours and Organizational Development. The results also point out cultural differences between the French and Polish firms: one dimension of OC, the willingness to continue membership in the organization and the general compliance dimension of OCB are lower in the French sample. The present paper also presents the next, planned step of the research.

Until, one by one, guests set down their hors d'oeuvres, pull pouches out of their purses and sell their gold.
With gold fetching about $750 a troy ounce, some people are finding that gold parties are a socially acceptable way to sell forgotten treasures during tough times. Across the region and the nation, gold parties are becoming the social outing of choice for some women who are looking for a way to make extra money in a scary economy.
"With friends complaining about money, inviting people to come over to spend money was out of the question," said Bethlehem's Michelle Summers, who hosted a party last month and is planning another. "Everyone was so excited to sell their stuff and get cash for the holidays. Many of my friends would have felt funny or intimidated about going to a pawn shop."
The gold party, she said, made selling old charms and broken necklaces more comfortable, "since people were around a bunch of others doing the same thing."
Warrington jewelers Guy and Brian Berger have been invited to dozens of jewelry parties in recent months, attending gatherings in Quakertown, Allentown, New Jersey and elsewhere, where they appraise jewelry and cut a check on the spot. Berger said the trend is a sign of the times.
"You have an economy a bit in trouble and a gold market that went from $270 an ounce several years ago to more than $750 an ounce now," said Guy Berger, just days before a November gold party. "Trade 20 pieces and you could make $800 to pay some bills. People are a little bit more motivated to sell now."
Most sales are based solely on the value of the precious metal, which changes daily.
In the spring, gold prices topped $1,030 an ounce, more than quadrupling the $250-per-ounce average in the late 1990s. The price fell to $750 in early November, and has since fluctuated between about $710 and $820 an ounce.
Inflation makes gold more attractive because it holds its value better when the U.S. dollar's strength fades.
For Berger, this has translated to a gold rush of a different kind -- an increased motivation among those wanting to sell the contents of that shoe box of jewelry they have tucked away.
At the parties, Berger sits down with each guest, separates the jewelry by its gold content in karats, weighs it and performs a few tests to check the quality.
He has a calculator, jeweler's loupe and a small scale. Once his table is set, he begins sorting through the many plastic bags of jewelry placed before him.
Broken and out-of-style jewelry is plentiful at parties, but Berger also gets his share of candlesticks, coins and gems. And it's not uncommon for buyers to get gold crowns with the teeth still attached -- an item that could yield a $25 return.
"Everyone has the old school ring, the old herringbone necklace, the first boyfriend ring and things that you just don't need or wear anymore. So why not turn them into that flat screen TV?" said Berger of First Pennsylvania Precious Metals. "But sometimes people will hand something to us and say, "This was my grandmother's,' and we'll tell them: "If it's special, keep it."'
During one recent party in Bucks County, Suzanne Coppola spread her unwanted jewelry on a black felt cloth for Berger to appraise. She had earrings from an old boyfriend, a ring that was too heavy and a bracelet she stopped wearing two decades ago.
"With the gold prices being high, why not see what they are worth and have fun, too?" said Coppola.
Party host Mary Taddei of Buckingham Township admitted she was nervous about how the night would turn out.

Minnesota's Department of Revenue has some advice for taxpayers: Please wait.
Given a new tax relief law in place, after quick legislative action last week, the agency is asking taxpayers who could benefit to wait until April 3 to file their taxes. By then, the agency, software vendors and tax preparers should have updated forms in place to process the tax breaks.
The department also wants taxpayers who have already filed their returns -- and about half of Minnesotans have -- to wait for the department to contact them about getting refunds if they will benefit from the new law. It may take months, but the agency expects that it will simply send out checks to the taxpayers who overpaid or contact them for further information.
"This is a pretty complex task," said Minnesota Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans. "This is not something you normally want to do this late in the filing season."
Last week, after some hullabaloo, the Legislature and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton approved a $444 million tax relief package. The tax relief, coming after a year when Democrats raised taxes by nearly $2 billion, gives Dayton and lawmakers a popular talking point now that they're up for re-election.
Only about a quarter -- $57 million in tax cuts -- will apply to 2013 taxes, meaning those who filed already will get refunds and those who have yet to file will pay less in taxes. Individual taxpayers will end up paying about $49 million less in taxes this year and businesses will pay an estimated $8 million less.
The tax cuts will apply to about ten percent of all taxpayers this year, or about 250,000 to 270,000 Minnesotans.
The people who will benefit fall into 22 different categories. A dozen of those are businesses. Others include low income families, college students, parents who adopted children last year and educators who paid for classroom supplies.
See the full list of individual taxpayer categories below. See the department's general guidance for individual taxpayers here.

feature request: virtual fields

9 posts since Sun, 23 Dec 12
Many years ago I worked with a database that had 'virtual fields', which are very convenient, and I think will be a wonderful addition to HeidiSQL.
Suppose you have:
name: transactions,
fields: customerID, bought_item, date.
Table 2:
name: custromers
fields: customerID. customerName
In order to get a list of transactions that include the customer name, I need a query in order to join the tables.
Instead, it would be nice to add a 'virtual field' to Table1 called customerName, which will not really hold data; rather it will be data extracted from Table2 for the view. Furthermore, once such a field is defined, it can also be used in queries, as if this field is part of Table 1.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I asked that the Palm Tree at the top of the invitation be changed from Brown to Green - and NO PROBLEM, it was done! Great customer service!"
"My fiance and I chose these invitations for our destination beach wedding. They are beautiful and elegant. We chose these because we wanted to keep the traditional wedding invitaion feel with a little extra flare for our beach wedding. These inviations do not look like any other party invitations but really say wedding. We are extremely pleased with how they turned out!"
"I just mailed my invitations 2 weeks ago, and I've heard back from so many friends that they absolutely love them! I absolutely love them too. The invitation is perfect for our beach wedding in Florida. Many other beach-themed weddings are cheesy or too casual. This is perfect. Even though we're having a wedding toes-in-sand, it will still be an elegant affair, and the invitation must set that tone for our guests. These do just that!"
"Love the design, gorgeous card, great color choices, the paper quality is excellent, and the printing job looked very professional. The proofs were timely and the representatives were very helpful in creating the finished product! Overall I loved working with wedding paper divas and will use them for all my card and invitation needs!"
"Loved the texture...the ink is raised and makes for really nice texture. The card is fairly simple, but the raised font really takes it up a notch!"

Players/Officials: Inzamam-ul-Haq
Series/Tournaments: Pakistan tour of India
Teams: Pakistan
Inzamam-ul-Haq, Pakistan's former captain and newly-appointed batting consultant, has advised his batsmen to be 'aggressive' against India. The team that handles pressure better, he said, could control how the matches go in the upcoming limited-overs series'.
Pakistan are preparing for the India series with a conditioning camp at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, and Inzamam will spend the week with the batsmen to assist them. Since his retirement in 2007, Inzamam had not been associated with Pakistan cricket in any form, running a business instead; this is the first in five years that he has taken up a role with the team.
"My job will be to pass on my playing experience to the players, rather than working on batsmen's techniques," Inzamam told reporters at the end of the day's training. "I will be discussing with them how to chase, how to set a target and what's required while batting."
Pakistan will kick-off their tour of India with a two-match T20 series, followed by three ODIs. Inzamam, who led Pakistan in 22 ODIs against India and has a win-loss ratio of 12-10, said Pakistan have plenty of matchwinners in the squad but they need 'collective' effort.
"Pakistan have a lot of players who could individually win matches for us, it's a good sign,'' he said. "But cricket is a team game, we lack in collective effort from the batsmen. Our bowling is very strong and we have to have confidence in ourselves. We have to make up our minds that we can win.
"Playing in Indian conditions isn't different; we have been winning [there] and can win again. It's only about pressure and how to handle it. What we need is to play aggressively and whoever copes with it [pressure] well, will play better."
Pakistan have played 16 completed ODIs in 2012, losing four out of eight while chasing and failing to defend their target on six instances out of eight. Batting first this year, they have crossed the 200-run mark seven times, winning only twice. When chasing a target of more than 200, they have won only on one occasion out of five.
"It's not a new problem, it's been going on for a long time now," Inzamam said of their batting issues, citing the lack of quality cricket in Pakistan, which has been a no-go zone for major international cricket teams. "For the last two years we have not played a lot of cricket and the batsmen are lacking in temperament due to T20 cricket.
"Flaws in our players are down to us not playing on a regular basis. If we start playing 10-12 Test matches every year, you will obviously see an improvement in our batting. As more we play cricket, the more players will learn from it."
Inzamam said it will be important for the players to put aside distractions in India and focus on the cricket: "Against India, one should be focused on the game instead of other activities. We have to focus on our game and don't worry about what others are doing. If we keep focus on ourselves, we will perform better.
"India will play with passion, so must Pakistan. I think the way this Pakistan team lines-up, we can put pressure on India. But they're a big team too and could make a comeback [after faltering in the Test series against England], so we have to focus ourselves."

It appears the Mountaineers football staff is doing all it
can to ensure that the passing success their team is enjoying this season
continues for years to come.
On Wednesday, Devonte Mathis committed to the WVU football
team. Three players from his high school already start for the Mountaineers on
Mathis leads Miramar High School in receiving touchdowns,
which is quite a feat when considering the type of athletes he's surrounded by
day in and day out.
His Patriots team is currently ranked fifth in the nation
according to USA Today's Super 25. Malcolm Lewis, another receiver on the team,
is ranked higher than Mathis according to Rivals.com, and still Mathis leads
the team in scores.
His coach, former WVU linebacker Damon Cogdell, says Mathis
is also his backup quarterback and kicker and believes he could throw the ball
around in college, too.
West Virginia would rather see him catching balls than
tossing them, and if he can come in and compete, there's the potential of him
joining fellow Miramar products Geno Smith, Stedman Bailey and Ivan McCartney
on the field at the same time next season.
"It means a lot," says Cogdell. "It's just a phenomenal
situation, never seen it before in college football with four dynamic kids on
the field at one time that came from one high school."
Each of the Miramar receivers would be a different year in
school and present a different set of skills from the next. Mathis is a
playmaker with size and athleticism to make a catch and make a defender miss,
even in a 6-foot-1 frame.
McCartney, as Mountaineer fans know, is more likely to
stretch the field and use his height and jumping ability to get up over a
defender and come down with the prize.
And Bailey, soon to be WVU's single season receiving leader,
"turns into a running back when he touches the football," according to Cogdell.
So much has been said about the ever-expanding Miramar
connection (two Patriots are currently on West Virginia's defense as well), but
the focus on the passing game extends far beyond Mathis.
The Mountaineers' commitment list currently features five
receivers and two quarterbacks. Three of those receivers are three-star
recruits and Deontay McManus of Baltimore, Md. is a four-star.
Ford Childress, one of the nation's top quarterback
prospects, has been committed to West Virginia since back in April and has
stuck with his word through a tumultuous summer, focused on what he could do if
he were able to feature in a Dana Holgorsen-coached offense.
Earlier this week, Holgorsen said that this year's offense
isn't coming along as smoothly as he would have liked and as smoothly as it has
in previous stops of his. Such a change from the previous scheme is the major
reason he believes the process is slower, but next year, that won't be the
The veterans will understand the system and a team of
backups will have had a year learning it as well. Freshmen will be learning not
only from coaches, but from players, and that didn't exist coming into this
At the same time, however, there are just two offensive
linemen and just one running back committed to his point.
Holgorsen has said continuously that a real focus needs to
be made on developing depth at offensive line, and two is likely not what he
has in mind.
A stable of freshmen running backs combined with the fact
that just one player in Robert Gillespie's room is a senior should have the
staff less concerned regarding that position. That, of course, assuming they're
satisfied with the lot they brought in for year one.
Statistics and history have convinced many of the offensive commits
for 2012 to lean WVU's way.
As the system takes hold, and with help from defense and
special teams, Holgorsen hopes West Virginia's record and national ranking will
be the next set of reasons that recruits view his program as the one worth a
visit and ultimately worth a four-year stay.

The popular Seiver, who started the final table of eight in sixth, well back of Sands and under a million chips, clawed his way past an elite group of players over 200 total hands to earn his biggest career win
Sands, who had the overwhelming chip lead heading into the final table at 6.6 million, carried that momentum for much of the day but will have to be satisfied with a runner-up finish and $1.2m payday.
With the win, Seiver ups his career earnings past the $5m mark while Sands jumps past $4 million.
Seiver Runs Good, Shak Exits Early
Despite three players being eliminated in the first seven hands, the final table ended up a long grind to the finish with no weak spots in any seats.
Seiver benefited the most from those early hands as he found a full house with Aces to bust Dan Shak and take a big chunk of Greg Jensen's stack to move up to 2.5 million in chips on just hand three. Shak, the runner-up in this event last year, took home a min-cash of $228,690.
Russian Vladimir Troyanovsky and hedge fund manager Jensen were quick to follow Shak out the door, busting in seventh and sixth respectively.
It took a little longer to bust Day 1 chip leader Phillip Gruissem, but he eventually succumbed to Seiver in fifth while an extended period of four-handed play ended with businessman Cary Katz hitting the rail in fourth.
Pro Nick Schulman, the player who started the day closest in chips to Sands at just over 2 million, rode his decent stack and some steady play to a third-place finish and a $744,140 payday.
Seiver, up to a 60-40 deficit by the time heads-up play began and thinking he had the edge, offered up a chip chop plus 5% at that point which Sands declined.
Sixty hands and a see-saw battle later, Seiver was the champ shortly after binking a nine on the flop for a set to top Sands' pocket 10s.
The official final eight and payouts:
- 1. Scott Seiver, $2,003,480
- 2. David "Doc" Sands, $1,259,320
- 3. Nick Schulman, $744,140
- 4. Cary Katz, $543,800
- 5. Philipp Gruissem, $400,700
- 6. Greg Jensen, $286,200
- 7. Vladimir Troyanovsky, $257,580
- 8. Dan Shak, $228,960
Day 1a of the $10,000 Main Event also kicked off today with notables Darren Elias, Paul Volpe, Calvin Anderson, Ravi Raghavan and Yann Dion making their way up into the top 10.
Day 1b starts tomorrow at noon at the Atlantis Resort; follow the action live on the PokerStars blog.

Randy Travis 911 Calls Released, Confoundingby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Details of Randy Travis' arrest are starting to leak out, and they don't paint the country singer in a very positive light.
Following confirmation that the artist was booked on Tuesday night on suspicion of DWI and for allegedly threatening to shoot and kill a cop, the 911 call placed by a pedestrian near the scene of Travis' single-car accident has been released.
Describing a "white male" with "light brown hair," the called tells the operator: "I just found a guy laying in the road. I want to say he had no shirt on."
Turns out, he had nothing else on either. Listen for yourself:
According to TMZ, a local lawyer randomly appeared at the prison and offered Travis his professional assistance, along with a hat to shield the crooner's face from reporters.
A fan also paid Travis' $21,500 cash bond and he is now a free man.
I am so ashamed to be from this area of Texas, not because Randy Travis was running around drunk and naked and wrecked his car, but because of the sheer number of absolute fucktards involved in this story. The shady ass gas station owner, the scumbag ambulance chasing lawyer, and the idiot 911 caller... you think he didn't have a shirt on? He was butt ass naked. Damn, you fools are dragging poor Randy down!

Q: How to connect to MIT SECURE wireless
On this page:
The wireless network named "MIT" is a completely open network. This means that any data you transmit via the wireless network without ensuring that it's first encrypted will be sent over the network in the clear.
|IS&T recommends using MIT SECURE instead of the regular MIT wireless network unless your network card, operating system or device does not support the WPA2 Enterprise security method.
The MIT SECURE and MIT SECURE N wireless networks use the wireless protected access (WPA) protocol to encrypt all of your network traffic between your computer and the MIT wireless network controllers (in MIT server locations).
- Secure wireless connections at MIT use the WPA2 protocol.
- Software for your wireless card (WPA supplicant) is necessary to be able to connect to the MIT SECURE wireless network.
- Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X have support for connecting to WPA2 networks
- iOS v.2.0 and above can connect to WPA2 networks
|Change your Password
You may need to change your MIT Kerberos password prior to using the MIT SECURE network. Changing your password ensures that it is synchronized with the network's authentication servers.
If you have a valid personal certificate or know your current password, you can change your password at the following web page: https://ca.mit.edu/ca/cpw

The Urban Gentleman: Tyler Mitchell, co-owner and men's merchandise manager, Wilkes Bashford
What is a 31-year-old former Boston College soccer player doing managing a luxury department store? The answer: part family legacy, part personal passion. Growing up in the business—his family owns the Mitchells chain of stores on the East Coast—Tyler Mitchell always had his hand in retail, learning the buying end of things at Harry Rosen in Canada and vendor operations at Brioni wholesale in New York. As men's merchandise manager at Wilkes Bashford, which the Mitchell family bought last December, he's tasked with marketing a classic, high-end SF brand to a broader, younger audience. Hipsters, it's time to get measured.
What fashion mistake do most SF men make?
I always see men wearing clothes that don't fit right.
How do you accessorize?
Pocket squares. A jacket is dead without them. Kind of like pants with a shirt tucked in and no belt. It just feels like something is missing.
What's your go-to spot for quality tailoring?
I have to say Wilkes Bashford. We have eight of the best tailors in the city, some of whom have worked here for decades. Our master tailor, Shigeiko Pittman, has been here for more than 30 years.

TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
The Patriots secondary has not been very good this season, to put it succinctly. This Sunday, against Andrew Luck and the Colts, the Pats are going to need to do better than they have in past weeks if they want to get past Indianapolis. Cold Hard Football Facts' Kerry Byrne joined John Dennis and Gerry Callahan on WEEI's The Dennis and Callahan Show on Friday morning to discuss New England's defense, and in his eyes, the Patriots defense has actually outperformed the numbers so far this season. To see what Byrne had to say about why that might be, check out the above video.
