Nadal wary of French Open 'title candidate' Murray
Spain's Rafael Nadal warns opponent Andy Murray will be 'dangerous' as the pair face each other in the semi-finals of the French Open. Nadal is pictured at the quarter finals in Paris on June 4, 2014 - by Patrick Kovarik
Nadal, who boasts an astonishing record in Paris of 64 wins and just one loss, has defied the critics who wondered whether he would make it this far after he suffered his worst season in a decade on European clay with three losses.
But despite dropping just one set on his way to another last-four date in the French capital, he appreciates the threat of Murray who pushed him to three sets in Rome last month.
"I'm not impressed by the way he's playing on clay. I am not answering in a bad way. I'm saying in a good way. He can play very well on all the surfaces. He's a candidate to win Roland Garros," said the 28-year-old Spaniard of the Wimbledon champion.
Murray will attempt to become the first British man in 77 years to reach the French Open final.
Bunny Austin was the last Briton to get to the men's championship match in 1937 while Fred Perry was the country's last winner in Paris two years earlier.
But Murray is making a habit out of shredding the history books -- his Wimbledon triumph last year ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's title winner.
The 27-year-old lost to Nadal, who is bidding to be the first man to win five French Opens in a row, at the same stage in Paris in 2011 without winning a set.
In fact, Murray, who has 5-14 career record against Nadal, has lost all of his five meetings on clay with the Spaniard.
Despite the facts and figures stacking up against him, Murray believes he has the mental and physical weapons to shatter the Nadal legend.
- Nadal's famed armour -
Unlike his loss in 2011, Murray is now a two-time Grand Slam title winner himself.
"I obviously know how to win these tournaments now; back then I didn't. I was trying extremely hard, but I had never done it," said Murray who has has yet to win a claycourt title and has never made the final on the sport's most challenging and wearying surface.
But he believes that there are cracks, albeit small ones, in the famed Nadal armour that can be exploited and he saw enough in Rome to justify his confidence.
"I definitely learned some things in that match. It was quite clear in my head, as well, what was working and what wasn't," he said.
"It was obviously different conditions here and a different court, different balls. When we played in Rome it was extremely cold and wet. I have been told it's meant to be 25 or 26 degrees on Friday."
The weather could play a crucial role with Nadal preferring warm, sunny weather which allows him to dictate the pace of the game and the ball.
Friday's second semi-final sees world number two Novak Djokovic, who needs a French Open title to become just the eighth man to complete the career Grand Slam, tackle outspoken Latvian Ernests Gulbis who will be playing in his first semi-final at a major.
Djokovic is playing in his fourth successive French Open semi-final having been runner-up to Nadal in 2012.
Gulbis, seeded 18, has a 1-4 losing record against Djokovic with whom he trained in his youth at the Niki Pilic academy in Munich.
The 25-year-old, so long the sport's enfant terrible, has finally matched up hard work to his undoubted talent and reached the semi-finals by knocking out fourth-seeded Roger Federer and then sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych.
In 2014, only Nadal has won more matches than the controversial big-hitter from Riga.
"He plays really well. He has a huge serve that, if it goes in, it can give him a lot of advantage," said Djokovic.
"He knows how to move, how to anticipate. He's definitely going to be aggressive and going to go for his shots against me. That's his style."

School Voice Mail Says It All
This gave us a laugh today!
You won't believe this New Zealand school's outgoing voice-mail message. That's because it's a fake, according to Snopes.com. But even though it's NOT real, it sure says all the things school administrators WANT to say.

I love it! Finally a school that is willing to speak up to overbearing parents that coddle their children. Speaking as a former school staff person in an upper middle class area!
Jillian March 13, 2010, 7:55 AM
That was great! Especially the wanting to hear it in another language part.

You don't actually move with the mouse- or at least I don't. You *turn* with the mouse. You move forward and strafe with keys.
Back when I converted from keyboard to mouse turning (in my defense, I had previously been constrained to using a macbook with only a touchpad...) I didn't understand this, and it was awful. Once I realized I was still allowed to use w, a and d to move around things became awesome.
To speak specifically about healing, most of the time (during combat) the direction you're facing isn't of critical importance anyway, and in the rare cases that it is, you can easily turn during half a cast or GCD- during which you don't need to be clicking on anything else.

Sarah Jane Designs hopscotch in soft pink
A beautiful new collection by Sarah Jane studio - designed for Michael Miller fabrics. Hopscoch on pink is a very sweet simple little - and very reminiscent of my childhhod days- a great game that you could play anywhere - love this. Scale wise the width of the squares is 7mm
This range was inspired by her own feelings of childhood, as well as her children's. Simple play, creative play…the kind of play that requires imagination and no agenda. So while this collection has a very classic feel, there is a lot of whimsicality in the color and design as well.

Earvolution's Pawnshop Roses will play the Dogfish Head in Rehobeth Beach tonight and then head north to Boston on Saturday for a homecoming show for guitarist Kevin Bentley at the Middle East. The Boston show is with Taxpayer, The Every Day Visuals and Polarbaron. Next weekend the boys swing south to hit Spartanburg, South Carolina (Wild Wing Cafe) on Friday and then Nashville on Saturday for another Earvolution Nashville Jam (more to come on rest of bill next week) at the French Quarter Cafe.
Speaking of Boston, Razorlight will kick off their fall North American tour in Beantown on November 7th at the Middle East as well. Frontman Johnny Borell says the band is looking forward to hitting the U.S.: "We've spent most of this year trying to find time to tour in the States, so we're really looking forward to finally getting to play these shows. We felt we made a real connection with the US fans when we were over in the Spring, so we want to build on that." The band will be debuting some new material they've been working on for their next record. You can get all the Razorlight dates on their MySpace page.
Earvolution friend Rich Casella tells Schultz he will be debuting his most recent material with his new band this Friday night, September 7th, in New York City. "We sound a little like Cream or the Who but the music is a result of my travels over the past 5 years," says Casella. The early evening show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at New York City's Lions Den, 214 Sullivan Street (between Bleeker and West 3rd). If you want to get a sense of the musicianship involved, check out a bit of Casella's guitar work here.
The Secret Machines (Earvolution interview here) will headline "Ludfest" in Brooklyn this coming Sunday, September 9th. I know, you're thinking what is Ludfest? Well let me tell you...Ludfest is "a fundraiser for the 7th Precinct Community Council, with proceeds going toward charitable functions, such as giving toys out to needy members of our community, as well as funding for the Explorers Program, which gives teens activities to keep them off the streets. If you've never seen the Secret Machines live, I suggest you head on out. There will be several other bands and lots of other stuff to check out.

"In celebrating Appleseed's tenth anniversary, we want to pay tribute to the politically active artists here - and to non-musical activists as well - who are unafraid to fight the good fight for social justice and positive change," explains Musselman. "Many of the musicians on this compilation were on the front lines of the major social movements of the last 50 years. We salute all who have challenged our skewed domestic and foreign policies and have championed peace, environmental preservation, civil rights, the women's movement and other vital issues." Word.

My interests revolve around the investigation of viral assembly and the description of biological motors at the molecular level. Both historically and experimentally, bacteriophages provide a perfect system to address both of these issues. My current focus is on the study of bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging. A molecular motor assembles transiently to the phi29 prohead capsid and packages DNA to near crystalline density, powered by ATP hydrolysis.
To fully describe the mechanism of this motor, and gain understanding about molecular motors in general, I am part of a large interdisciplinary group comprised of specialists in structural biology, biophysics, molecular genetics and biochemistry. As a phage biochemist, my role is to translate the basic components of phi29 packaging from our robust in vitro packaging system into hands of specialist who can address the questions of interest our work has generated, as well as develop new approaches meant to interrogate the packaging mechanism.
'Wisc-e-sota', a Joint UMN-UW Virology Training Grant Symposium was first held on Friday, Sepbember 20th, 2013 at the Uniiversity of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Cartwright Center. This was the inaugural collaborative symposium of the NIH T32-supported virology training programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Talks and poster sessions were presented by students, postdocs and faculty. The second UMN-UW Virology Training Grant Symposium will be held in the Fall 2014. Details to follow.

1. Each year by July 1, the Administrative Assistant for Academic Affairs will provide a binder to each faculty member scheduled for promotion, tenure, post-tenure review and third-year review. The binder will include the following items:
A partial set of materials can be made available prior to July 1. Interested faculty should contact the Administrative Assistant for Academic Affairs for details.
2. The faculty member bears primary responsibility for the preparation and submission of the Tenure and Promotion File (T & P File) on which tenure, promotion, post-tenure review, and third-year review will be based.
3. A faculty member's T & P File consists of a one page vita, the Regional Campus "Tenure and Promotion File Form" (RCTP), information requested by the tenure and promotion process (items a - f listed above), information selected by the applicant to support her/his application (such as: letters of support from colleagues and students, recommendations from supervisors, other documentation, and support).
4. The narrative of the RCTP File Form will normally not exceed 25 single-sided typed pages. This limit of 25 typed pages excludes documents mandated by campus policy and materials added by the various levels of review. Pages within the T & P file are to be numbered per instructions on the RCTP form (e.g., RCTP 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, etc.)
5. This 25-page narrative should be arranged in the following order:
6. The narrative may refer to materials contained within the Other Items section of the file or an accompanying Reference Collection.
7. The Other Items section of the T & P file must contain the following information (by documents) in reverse chronological order. Also, any other documents deemed important by the candidate can be placed in this section but must count as part of the 25 pages.
8. The faculty member may choose to prepare an accompanying Reference Collection of documents (letters of support for teaching and/or scholarship, books, other publications, copies of grant proposals, student evaluations, etc.). If so, the reference collection will not be duplicated, but it will accompany the T & P file through the various levels of review. The candidate should request through the Regional Campuses Office that all Reference Collection materials be returned to the candidate at the end of the review process.
9. Besides the documentation provided within the Other Items section of the T&P File, the narrative itself and/or Reference Collection should contain additional documentation when relevant to the criteria and to the candidate under consideration:
10. Apart from material added by the candidate, only materials from the Division Chair, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, campus Tenure and Promotion Committee, the Regional Campus Dean, the Vice Provost and Executive Dean for Regional Campuses and Continuing Education, and the Regional Campuses Tenure and Promotion Committee may be added to the file. Except for those items as specified by campus and Regional Campuses policy, the T&P File must be complete by October 1, before the Division Chair begins to review.
11. Neither the candidate nor any other person may bar or remove any document or other evidence (duly filed and permitted by the T&P process) from the T&P File.
12. No faculty member other than the candidate, Division Chair, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, or Dean may require that any document or other evidence be included in the file, but campus T&P Committee members may cite or quote from any evidence not in the file in their vote justifications or in separate letters to the Dean. Justifications, which accompany individual votes, will become a part of the T&P File.
13. Letters written by outside reviewers or faculty members in previous years are not automatically included in the file. The candidate or a reviewer may include such a letter in the file but must have the author's permission.
14. After the campus review process begins, only the following items may be added to the file:
15. Summary and file composition and order (tabulated sections):
*Candidate Provides
**Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Office Provides

What's Cooking This Weekend?
Weekend of August 20-21, 2011
What's hanging out in your kitchen, waiting for its turn in a salad, or in the frying pan? Bright yellow squash? Rich red tomatoes? I'm eyeing an overgrown zucchini and thinking zucchini fritters, or maybe some walnut-studded bread. What about you? What's cooking in your kitchen this weekend? Read on for a few good posts from the past week that you may have missed, too...
• Too much jam — freezer jam, maybe? Here's a yummy treat that will use it well.
• How to identify real San Marzano tomatoes and avoid contaminated honey.
• Mmmm... homemade gum drops!
• Put the kitchen in the basement and stay cool.
• Fresh recipes for homemade soda pop.
• Why canned salmon is a better choice than canned tuna.
• Chickpeas take center stage on the table.
• Tips for slicing lemon bars all pretty and nice.
• Good idea: use a colander to serve ice.
Happy weekend, and happy cooking.

something with tomatoes!
Just made an Indian green bean dish; gonna make a roasted red pepper/eggplant dip and have lots of tomatoes to use! Bring on the tomato soup!!! Oh . . . . and salads galore, of course!
Not much cooking going on around here this weekend -- we'll be stuffing ourselves with all the delicious offerings at the Mission Street Food Festival this Saturday! Can't wait.
We made cod poached in tomato sauce tonight (from How to Cook Everything). We will be spending the rest of the weekend in Nantucket, sampling all the food we can get our hands on!
I've got tomato and caramelized onion galettes in the oven, I just finished making some homemade peanut butter cups (cupcake size), and I'm in the process of pickling nasturtium capers.
lovesitc1--what's in your green bean dish? Sounds good.
We'll be in Portland this weekend so my honey can ride in the Portland Century, so not much cooking is going to happen. Besides, I feel like I've done nothing but cook this week already--a co-worker had to water his sister's 21 TOMATO PLANTS while she was out of town, so everybody at work has been well-supplied with tomatoes. I did 3 batches of Cook's Illustrated Roasted Tomato Sauce, 1 of arrabiatta, and I still have several pounds left over. Then more came in Thursday's CSA box!
brittanykate, I quickly blanched the french green beans, while waiting for that, I sauteed some mustard seeds and cumin seeds, added shallots, a hot pepper (all I had was jalapeno), some turmeric, coriander, and a little more cumin (ground), and some minced garlic. Got all of that going on med.low. and added about 1/4cup of unsweetened shredded coconut. Added all of that spicy goodness to the green beans. Turned out really well!
I would LOVE those green beans. Wow.
I have never made raw tomato-basil sauce for spaghetti. This weekend I will fix that. I'm also going to strip an ear of corn into some cheddar-green chile cornmeal batter for muffins. And peach freezer jam. If I see those Italian prune plums at the market, I can never resist a crisp with those.
I've got some pattypan squash that I bought last weekend that I need to use up. I've never cooked pattypan squash, though, so this is an adventure.
I also have some corn that's going bad, so I think I'm going to strip it from the cob and maybe I'll make some of roasted corn and squash side dish for tomorrow night.
yesterday I prepared A mix of tomato-zuchinni Tian with Ratatouille Gratin :P I also cooked an awesome cherry tomato souce that will go with my freshly cooked chickpeas and pasta.
We will not eat everything at once but I will start working on monday so I wanted to leave everything ready.
Today I will cook Chana Masala with Mushrooms - Chickpea Curry and Gobi Masala (Cauliflower Curry) and lots of Mango & Mint Lassi.
I'm latinamerican btw I live in costa rica so we have vegetables and herbs all year long.
lovesitc1--Thanks. Awesome. I'll try it.
Everyone's meals sound so wonderful! I'm doing a lot of party-going this weekend so I'm not cooking much, just zucchini fritters for my solo dinner tonight while The Fella's at work.
But we're having a slumber party with our young niece and her mother Monday, so on Sunday I'll prep a cold dinner to accommodate our guests (no dairy) and The Fella (vegetarian) as well as me (as little last minute cooking as possible). I'm making:
- popcorn, plain and with nutritional yeast, for snacking while we watch Willie Wonka
- a dairy-free frittata with spinach and scallions
- cold broccoli salad with citrus dressing and toasted almonds
- pan-fried sweet potatoes with a crispy cornstarch crust
and for dessert we'll have Tofutti cuties. I think they're just the thing for a slumber party!
For breakfast, I'm making cranberry-apple wacky cake (vegan), maybe with almonds.
Last week I baked a giant chocolate birthday cake for my friend from college days and this week baking a supply of chocolate chip cookies for my youngest to celebrate her move to the dorm. Sweet month.
All this past talk about ice cream convinced me to buy an ice cream maker yesterday. It was a refurbished Cuisinart so wasn't too expensive. So for dinner, spaghetti puttanesca with a big handful of herbs from my balcony and for dessert, homemade expresso chocolate chip ice cream. I garnished it with buttered, toasted bread crumbs and topped with caramel sauce. Oh-my-God!
I found some fresh cranberry beans at the farmers market today, so was inspired to make a pot of pasta e fagioli. I'll be serving it for Sunday dinner with a fantastic corn pudding from food52 (http://www.food52.com/recipes/13639_summer_corn_pudding).

It can take just a few minutes for a building to go up in smoke, as many on-lookers in Pittsburg witnessed this morning at the McDonald's building along Broadway. The good news? It was all for training. The demonstration showed how a lethal fire can happen to any structure at any time.
The firefighters battled three different scenarios in the smoke-filled building. Pittsburg Fire Chief Mike Simons explains how the scenarios all relate to real life, and how it's something every firefighter needs to be prepared for.
"We evacuated the person, the manager of the building, but yet one of our firefighters have been displaced and gotten lost, so we activated a mayday system, where we basically go in to rescue our own firefighter." says Pittsburg Fire Chief, Mike Simons.
The other demonstrations included a search and rescue for a manager trapped in the office, and a search and rescue for a manager trapped in the basement.
"In our facility, whenever we do have something like this the first thing is to make sure everyone gets out and we call 911 to get the fire department out here. But the first thing is the safety of our crew." Irvin says.
Even with the frigid temperatures, training for these guys doesn't stop once the blaze is out. Upon completion of the fire, Simons and his crew reviewed structural details and logistics.\
"The lightweight construction technology that's used in these buildings...Many of these lightweight commercial buildings like McDonalds, taco bells, subways, are all designed the same. So, we're gonna review that and emphasize issue of that." Simons says.
The McDonalds building on Broadway will be formally torn down on Monday to begin the rebuilding process.

For these delicious tartlets, I like to use Alecia's Tomato Chutney, an Alabama-made product worth ordering. (Call 205/352-4900 or visit www.aleciaschutney.com.) Mango chutney is a relatively close alternative to this zesty preserve. Prep: 5 minutes; Cook: 5 minutes.
MyRecipes NOVEMBER 2008
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Arrange phyllo shells on a baking sheet. Divide grated cheese evenly among shells, and top each with a rounded 12 teaspoonful of chutney.
2. Bake at 400° for 5 to 8 minutes or until bubbly. Garnish with a few small marjoram leaves, if desired, and serve tartlets hot.

MayFest 2013
Friday 24th May until Saturday 2nd June 2013
MayFest is now a regular feature in the annual Clachaig Beer Festival calendar.
Timed to coincide with the fantastic weather that Glencoe always enjoys at the end of May (!) it's time to move away from the winter porters and stouts and think about something a little lighter and more refreshing on the palate.
Ginger beers, cider and perry will quite likely feature strongly throughout the May festival, though ale drinkers won't be left disappointed.
In addition, expect some good Clachaig craic with some live music in the Boots Bar. And don't forget to bring along your guitar for the Open Session.
See the May What's On listing for full details of Clachaig and other local events.
For accommodation during the festival try:
Bed & Breakfast at Clachaig Inn
Self Catering Cottage and Chalet Accommodation with Clachaig Holidays.

Files of fingerprints to go electronic; New inkless scanner simplifies process
By Stephen Gurr
In the future, the thousands of ink-smudged fingerprint cards on file at police departments will be obsolete, authorities say. The fingerprints taken will travel through a digital pipeline, instantly accessible on a computer monitor at the touch of a button.
The Aiken, S.C. Department of Public Safety is taking a step toward that paperless future with its latest high-tech gadget - an inkless fingerprint scanner that easily could be from the world of James Bond.

Great little cottage with beautiful view!
We really enjoyed our stay. You've got a great location on the lake. My favorite spot was on your lounge chair with the beautiful view! The kayaks and fire pit were a nice addition.
Wonderful home, even better owners!
Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by the homeowners, both of whom live next door. They were extremely accommodating, amiable, and great sources of recommendations for places to eat in the area. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
The pictures don't do this property justice!
After 18 months in NYC and just losing my mom, I needed a quiet, peaceful getaway with my husband and dogs. This was absolutely the perfect place. It was tranquil, clean, and beautiful. The home had every amenity one could ask for, and the lake was beautiful, clean and quiet. No motor boats or speed boats...just kayaks, pedal boats and little electric motor boats. Two kayaks are available for use - I must say, being a bit on the uncoordinated side, I wish there had been a row boat - but who am I to complain. I can't recommend this property - and the owners - any higher. Everything was simply beautiful and perfect.

The Traditional Brokers: What are their Chances in the Forex?
AbstractThe electronic brokers compete with the traditional brokers. The electronic brokers offer lower costs, increased speed and a better guarantee of transparency and of anonymity. The only real advantage of the traditional brokers is the gathering of information. We investigate whether the traders in the foreign exchange market consider that to be crucial, which is equivalent to asking "Do traditional brokers have any chance in the forex?" We build a simple model and use the results of a questionnaire that we elaborated and that was sent to the users of the brokers' services in the Portuguese foreign exchange market. We also use transaction data from the most important dealer in the Portuguese market. Considering this dealer to be representative, we conclude that the main advantage of the traditional broker is not much valued by the dealers. This does not leave a promising future for the traditional broker.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach. He saw something magical in that large, grey eye that he found hard to explain.
"Victor, I… I need you."
"I'm trying Victoria"
"I don't want to be alone."
"I'm here."
So they sit together, endlessly gazing at one another in the hope that someday they will be brought closer, until maybe one day their circuits will entwine and they will be free.

The MONSTERS UNIVERSITY continuity problem isn't really a problem
In Pixar's 2001 film Monsters, Inc., there's a brief exchange that goes like this:
Mike: I'm telling you, Big Daddy. You're gonna be seeing this face on TV more often.
Sulley: Yeah, like on Monstropolis' Most Wanted?
Mike: Ha, ha, ha. You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade, pal.
Wait, they've known each other since the fourth grade? But… but… they meet for the first time in Monsters University! Stop the presses! Hold the phone! Compose disparaging tweets! Assemble an unnecessarily long YouTube clip! Monsters University is now a completely invalid movie!
Several interviewers have brought this up with Monsters University director Dan Scanlon, and at this point, he has a standard, odd response:
Scanlon says that now the employees joke that "You've been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade" is just a "monster expression" in that world. "That's what monsters always say to each other," Scanlon says sarcastically. [From PixarTimes.com]
Peter Sciretta at Slashfilm.com has his own suggestion:
I think they could've just explained it by having a simple line in Monsters University which casually mentions that the first year of college in the Monster world is called "Fourth Grade". But I guess explaining that might have caused more confusion than its worth, especially for children.
Here's an easier suggestion: Don't take it so seriously, or so literally. Consider it just another variant on the old "I was an expert at this before you were a gleam in your father's eye" quote. It's a casual put-down between friends who are bantering with each other. Fussing over it is like pausing Point Break when Gary Busey tells Keanu Reeves, "I was takin' shrapnel in Khe Sanh when you were crappin' in your hands and rubbin' it on your face!", and checking with various parents to see whether children really do such a thing, and at what age they might have stopped, and then doing the math on the age differential between Busey and Reeves to see whether the discrepancy is possible. I'm not normally a continuity apologist, but this strikes me as a pretty light barrier to belief.
Now maybe if Mike had told a lengthy, specific, detail-laden story about their time together in fourth grade, that would be more of an issue. Or if he'd accused Sulley of crappin' in his hands and rubbin' it on his face. Just think of the mess that would make of his fur. —Tasha Robinson

New Tomb Raider reboot movie is in the works
Now that the Tomb Raider game franchise has gotten the reboot treatment, it's time for Hollywood to follow suit with a new Tomb Raider movie to try and erase the memory of the original Tomb Raider films. Sure, they had Angelina Jolie, but that's all they had going for them.
Gary Barber, head of the recently-resurgent MGM studio who are still counting the money from recent James Bond mega-hit, Skyfall and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, made the Croftastic announcement and also revealed that producer, Graham King would be bringing his production company, GK Films on board to develop the project.
According to Barber:
"Graham is one of the premier producers in this industry and I am delighted to be working with him on this exciting franchise. We look forward to developing more projects together in the future."

Manchester Police Seize 3D Printer Allegedly Being Used To Make Gun
October 25, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
MANCHESTER, England (UPI) — Police in Manchester, England, seized a 3D printer they said was being used by criminals to produce guns.
The seizure was made during a raid as part of an operation targeting organized crime gangs in Manchester, Sky News reported.
Police also found a trigger and a magazine they said could be capable of holding bullets, both of which were likely made with the printer.
"Component parts for what could be the U.K.'s first ever 3D gun have been seized by Greater Manchester Police," the police department said in a statement. "During the searches, officers found a 3D printer and what is suspected might be a plastic clip and a 3D trigger which could be fitted together to make a viable 3D gun.
"If what we have seized is proven to be viable components capable of constructing a genuine firearm, then it demonstrates that organized crime groups are acquiring technology that can be bought on the high street to produce the next generation of weapons," Detective Inspector Chris Mossop of Greater Manchester Police said.
Sir Peter Fahy, the chief constable of Greater Manchester, told Sky News using 3D printers to make guns is "a new phenomenon."
"We will really need to look at this new development. Certainly we feel that we are having success — and the important thing is not to be defeatist about this. It is not to think that we'll never win, that these people are cleverer than us," Fahy said. "They are not, they are just more violent than us."
In the past week, more than 50 alleged members of criminal gangs have been arrested in Manchester as part of the anti-gang operation, officials said. Police have also seized more than $530,000 worth of drugs, $40,415 in cash, weapons, counterfeit goods and seven high powered cars.

Is the solution to "coding a better government" really to be bureaucratically active, or is it to tone down bureaucracy?
I think the real problem is that there's too much bureaucracy in the government, and really in everything. There's too many rules and loopholes to go through, that it just makes life much more inconvenient. America claims to be about freedom, but I feel very limited in what I can do because of all of this bureaucracy, however I don't believe it should be completely painted out of the picture. Everything should be taken in moderation. I also think that social change comes from real political activism. Rosa Parks and Gandhi weren't bureaucratic activists, yet they seemed to have made a very large impact on their societies.

Sep 14 2012: I have to agree. I've recently read Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" and it makes some excellent points. Probably my favorite quote from that would be this, "Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made agents of injustice." The whole essay talks about how man's conscience has the supreme word over law. And I feel that's not how society currently works.

Chicken Under a Brick

The weight of the bricks helps the chicken cook evenly, leaving the breast moist and juicy, while the legs cook fully. Marinating the chicken tenderizes the meat and also adds a pleasant tangy flavor.

I can't even begin to say how sad I am that all of you say I should wait. I WAS HOPING THERE WAS SOME SORT OF MAGIC PERSON WHO WOULD BE LIKE WHAT THE HELL DO WHAT YOU WANT.
But the more I thought about it, really mulled it over, the more I knew you all were right. I will be way too attached to anything if I just do it right after. I deserve a break, too. I am looking at a week or two. I'm going to try to write some fic between to get my mind off of it so I don't obsess about it.

On The Issues
Busting Income Splitting Myths
You have heard that the family is the backbone of society and as such, it is also the backbone of economy. Members of a family contribute not only to our economy through formal employment but also through emotional support, social networking, housekeeping, and child rearing. Canadian families deserve greater freedom to make their own choices as they continue to contribute to their own welfare and to the welfare of our country.
Income splitting is one policy that can better help families do just that. As it stands in the current tax system, individuals in a family are taxed separately creating an unfairness which puts more money into the hands of government and less in the pockets of Canadian families.
So often, families have to make hard decisions about dividing time and resources between work and home. Many Canadians value caring for young children and or disabled, sick or aging family members. These families should not be penalized under the tax code for choosing to stay in the home in order to care for their loved ones. The tax savings from income splitting would be beneficial for families getting by on one income and for spouses whose incomes fall into different tax brackets.
In the 2011 election campaign, we made a promise to introduce income splitting once the budget was balanced. Now that the balanced budget is just months away and the time to keep our promise has arrived, many myths about income splitting have circulated to create opposition to it. Please take the time to read about the common myths around income splitting as provided in the link below and consider the merits of this policy.
Rest assured, I will continue to work hard with our Government to keep this election promise as an important measure to bring fairness to all families.

Motion 510 Abortion Debate
Motion 510 "That, in the opinion of the House: (a) a women's right to choose abortion is a fundamental question of equality and human rights, both in Canada and around the world; (b) the key priorities of the government during the upcoming international summit on child and maternal health on May 28-30, 2014 should include empowering women globally, promoting gender equality and supporting reproductive health care including the full range of family planning, sexual and reproductive health options; and (c) the government should lift its policy of refusing to fund international programs that support a full range of family planning and reproductive health care options including abortion."
I do not support A)- in addition to the current unlimited access to abortion this motion calls on Parliament to also declare Canada to be officially prochoice; it would have the effect of calling the prolife point of view 'unCanadian.' Canada is one of three countries in the world with zero restrictions to abortion - the fact that the other 2 are China and North Korea leave me with doubts that unrestricted abortions is the sign of a country's commitment to human rights and equality.
I do not support B) because it throws in 'including the FULL RANGE of family planning, sexual and reproductive health options,' which means 'including abortion'. I support "empowering women globally, promoting gender equality and supporting reproductive health care and family planning," and if that's all it said, I'd support B).
[it's interesting that when MP Mark Warrawa introduced a motion that Parliament promote gender equality by condemning the practice of gender selective abortions, Nikki Ashton and others said he was out of line for attempting to 'open the abortion debate' - parliament's forbidden subject matter.]
I do not support C) - the large number of people who believe abortion is immoral should not be required support and fund abortion in other countries with their tax dollars.
Our Rights and Freedoms
"We are not just standing up for hunters, sports shooters, trappers, farmers, athletes, gun collectors, we are these people." While I have said and done much about the fundamental importance of firearms rights before and since the swiss army rifle incident, many have asked for more details about actions I have taken.
First let me say that what you get with me is a straight shooter (yep, bad pun, but it's the right term). I will never tell you what you want to hear . . . unless it happens to be true.
What you also don't get with me is a one-issue pony. As important as this issue with the swiss army rifles is, it is only a symptom of the problem. Arbitrary and useless gun control has implications that go far beyond our ability to hunt and target shoot. it is a violation of property rights and property rights are fundamental to all other rights and freedoms. But firearms are an important kind of property, and limiting 'the right to bear arms' (I know, American phrases and ideas are taboo in Canada, but if the principle is correct I don't much care - I'll adopt it and love it as my own) is especially important to guard against. (As my friend from Zimbabwe who now lives in Canada can attest - a few years ago he came home to find his house surrounded by soldiers telling him his house no longer belonged to him, because whites were no longer allowed to own property. This happened after years of gradual increases on gun control and ammunition rationing, all done in the name of public safety)
But it goes both ways, just as gun control/firearms rights issues have implications that impact many other aspects of our lives, there are other laws and government affairs that can have an implication on our rights to own firearms. Any time the wrong jurisdiction makes decisions over any matter, our freedom is threatened. Something as simple as Parks Canada unilaterally declaring a certain species to need protection, or Health Canada unilaterally declaring you can't sell vitamin c in big jars, or the city not being able to have a say about whether gas drilling can take place within city limits. All of these issues, if they are ignored can have implications on gun control rights. The big problem is not just the actual decision but who makes it. Maybe the species should be protected, but we can't have park rangers making that legally binding decision.
My point is, if I am to protect our interests as firearms enthusiasts and lovers of freedom, it is not good enough that I fight for this issue, it is not good enough that I fight for gun freedom in general, I need to fight for the principles of freedom in every aspect of government.
It has been said 'talk is cheap' 'enough lip service' 'only action will suffice'.
The minute I learned about the issue I immediately consulted with the minister's office to find out what he knew and what his response was, which I then passed on to constituents. I also consulted with other Conservative MPs who were concerned about this issue - to discuss and explore options and to develop possible courses of action.
It's not good enough to reverse the decision on the Swiss Army Rifles, it certainly isn't good enough to just give amnesty to those affected. We need to take measures to prevent such decisions to be made in the future and to prevent decisions from being made in that way. We have suggested reforms that will do just that.
We have put together the petition that I have posted on my website – as have several other MPs.
Some may question the value of petitions, or expect that an MP would do more than post a petition, but actually pass the legislation that the petition calls for. And there is a big difference between drafting a bill and passing a bill. Besides getting the fix right, whatever policy changes we need to implement have to be sellable. And then it needs to be sold. One or two or even 57 MPs can't just grit their teeth and change public policy out of force of will.
Any prospective MP who tells you that they will be able to fix everything is either willing to just tell you what you want to hear or he must imagine that he will have more power than the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister can only rule by consent and is bound by the laws and the Constitution. So neither he nor the public safety minister have the legal authority to simply turn over RCMP actions. Nor can either pass any legislation without the support of at least 155 other MPs.
I, too, wish this issue in particular and our burdensome and ineffective regularity system in general could be solved with swift and decisive action. But Canada is governed by a parliamentary democracy/ constitutional monarchy - a system deliberately set up so no single person can just make things happen. Indeed, what frustrates us so much about the Swiss Army Rifle scandal is that this principle of procedure and proper jurisdiction was ignored.
As you are all too aware, many politicians and a huge portion of public opinion not only feel our gun laws and restrictions are great the way they are, but many feel we need even more restrictions. So, in addition to needing to build consensus and support for the changes in parliament, since most politicians are ruled by public opinion, we need to build support for this cause among the general public. I have worked closely with MP Garry Breitkreuz, one of the leading champions to finally dismantle the long gun registry. He chairs the outdoor caucus, because he knows how important it is to make hunting and fishing viewed as acceptable and even well-loved forms of recreation if we are to win the battle for public opinion. This is the same reason I worked on the Heritage committee to support MP Norlock's Bill C-501 - An Act National Hunting, Trapping and Fishing Heritage Day Act. Many will say these actions are empty. I agree that they are not sufficient, that more needs to be done. But all of these efforts are required if we are to accomplish our goals. I'm sure you have all seen facebook and twitter conversations that make gun enthusiasts out to be wacko. I was called a nutjob last weekend for suggesting our gun laws need to be reformed.
I have also worked to promote M-452 which one of my colleagues (MP Cheryl Gallant) had tabled proposed legislation prior to the incident which would make it impossible for the RCMP or a CFO to unilaterally and arbitrarily reclassify firearms. This motion was developed in consultation with law-abiding gun owners and as a result of collaboration and consensus building among likeminded Conservative MPs with a common goal. (if you go to Gallant's website you will see me in a list of 10 other MPs who seconded her motion.)
Is the Motion perfect? No. Would it solve all the problems? No - no single piece of legislation will. But I would rather get the motion on the floor, debate it, amend it, improve it and pass it rather than do nothing or refuse to act until a perfect bill that solves all the problems shows up.
Anyone can give you the talking points you are looking for after an incident. My work on this issue comes after years of already working with other likeminded gun rights enthusiasts in an effort to not just respond to incidents as they arise but to systematically change the culture and bit by bit, point by point revise the legislation around gun control, property rights and the respect for the rule of law and to ensure jurisdiction between branches and levels of government is respected.
It's not all going to get fixed overnight. Convincing the government and parliament is only an important first step – we have the senate to deal with, the courts to deal with and the independent government agencies to deal with. And we don't want to solve one abuse of jurisdiction by ignoring our own jurisdictional limitations.
Swiss Arms Rifle Reclassification
Second - while I'm not saying we are one step away from an outright dictatorship, dictatorships are always preceded by gun control - usually in the name of public safey.
Fourth - law enforcement should not make laws. Every free country separates the branches of government (legislative, executive and judicial). While this decision was wrong in itself - it is much worse that the duly elected representatives didn't make the decision. It is much more dangerous to let law enforcement write the laws than it is to let people own a firearm that has never been involved in a crime in Canada.
Fracking Within City Limits
Respect for jurisdictional authority is actually not a moot point - ask anyone who recalls the Pierre Trudeau's National Energy Program.
In fact whatever my or anyone's stand on fracking itself, the issue is complicated by the fact that the city government has no authority to stop or approve drilling within their city limits. I believe that the city should have a real say in the matter (beyond their limited power of protesting) and that if drilling does occur they should be able to negotiate a share in royalties. Perhaps local governments would have more autonomy over what happens in their own backyard if we did not think questions of jurisdictional authority were moot.
As for fracking, I am not against it in and of itself - but I support citizens' right to disagree. I encourage city residents to make an objective study of the practice and support or oppose the project as they see fit - and I suggest that their support or opposition is most effective when directed to those in authority to make the decision on the matter.
Canada's Prostitution Laws
Fortunately the federal government has appealed these decisions which are currently before the Supreme Court. Even if the Supreme Court overturns the decisions, Canada's prostitution laws are in dire need of reform. The focus has been mostly towards punishing the prostitute while the john gets off with at most a fine. Prostitution is clearly a form of sexual abuse. We are delusional if we believe that it is a victimless crime; merely a business transaction between consenting adults. We cannot hope to stem the tide of violence against women if we as a society accept the objectification of woman through prostitution as a legitimate choice, and if we continue to stigmatize and prosecute only the prostitute while the so called customer often receives no legal sanction.
Countries that have legalized and regulated prostitution have seen sexual exploitation, human trafficking and violence towards women and youth increase drastically. In contrast, countries that have criminalized the purchase of sex have seen a marked decrease in street prostitution and sex trafficking. One of the arguments for legalizing prostitution is it protects prostitutes and allows them go to the police for protection against violence and coercion from johns and pimps without fear of prosecution. The Nordic model of prostitution addresses this concern by tackling prostitution and sex trafficking by limiting the demand for commercial sex by criminalizing the purchase of sex while decriminalizing the prostitute. This model recognizes that the vast majority of prostitutes are victims. The Nordic Model of prostitution is also widely supported throughout Canada by police officers, faith groups, women's organizations, First Nations, and victim support groups.

Freezing EI Rates for Job Creation
The fact is, the rate freeze will put, (I should say 'leave' - governments never give or provide new money) $600 million more in the pockets of job creators and workers than projected. So, while it is tempting to say that a $34,000/year salary for example, translates into 8800 jobs (only half of the $600 million is saved by employers) and it would be tempting for the government to claim all the credit; but that's not actually how things work.
It just puts that $600 million back into the economy - undirected, and without guarantee (there is no such thing as a guarantee in life) - but that $600 million gets put to work, and one of the things that happens is that companies hire more people.
It's true that the premium saved on EI doesn't come close to covering the costs of a new hire, but to suggest that the savings are therefore likely to have little or no impact on job creation, fails to grasp the mentality of job creators. We are under no illusion that employers are going to see how much money the freeze saves them and when it adds up to a year's salary, hire another person. The fact is however, that's rarely if ever how employers decide whether to hire. They don't hire someone because they have enough money left over to do so, that is, they don't use their profits as a hiring fund; rather they hire if they think it will increase their profitability . . . and the answer to that question depends on many factors including the many factors that contribute to the total cost of hiring, among which is the cost of EI premiums.
Certainly, if a company had 1000 employees knowing your EI costs were going to go up $34,000 a year, it may cause them to hesitate before they hire more people. It contributes to a company's profitability which contributes to a company's ability to expand (not to mention their motivation to expand).
To be clear, I never said that this premium freeze would create jobs, but help spur (i.e support) job creation. The fact is that the subject of this announcement is not done in isolation but is one of many factors contributing to a strong economy and job creation. And since no single factor alone determines whether or not a single, particular job will be 'created' we cannot actually point to a dollar for dollar, job for job, direct connection between this and each of the number of jobs we estimate this will help create. But this doesn't mean it doesn't help.
"The Conservative Party Rebellion"
The media is committed to their story and strive to squeeze every action and every word into their narrative – and they can because their narrative is self-contradictory. On the one hand, they say that the party is a dictatorship, and criticize conservatives for not speaking freely. (They assume we aren't speaking freely because we typically agree.) But when there is a disagreement, or a discussion they call it a crisis of leadership, a rift, a rebellion.
The media interviewed me yesterday, about the so-called rift and I can assure you that they were not trying to find out what happened but were trying to get any Conservative to confirm either that we are being muzzled or that there is crisis of unity. If Harper does nothing to oppose the abortion related motion, they say he is using backbenchers to advance his hidden agenda. If he does anything to oppose it, they say he is a dictator. The media asked me if Warawa was being muzzled – he spoke freely in the House of Commons, he speaks freely to the media – he is still a member of the party. He doesn't agree with the prime minister. But he doesn't have to.
During this parliament the NDP have had 3 of its MPs actually jump ship and leave their party – in large part because their differing views from the leader should not be tolerated – yet there is no story in the media about a leadership crisis, or a crisis of unity. Nor is there criticism that Mulcair rules with an iron fist and allows no dissension.
When Conservatives have a discussion about anything in public where we don't see eye to eye they try to turn it into a rebellion or a rift.
The fact is the conservative party allows free votes on any bill or motion that doesn't contradict central government policy. No other party does that. It is the only party that allows a full free vote on issues of conscience. The fact is, conservative members vote against the so-called 'party line' more than any other party. And yet we remain united – and we remain united precisely because of these freedoms. This is what most Canadians want from their representatives. They want a government that is united, that isn't consumed with infighting and petty politics but at the same time they want their individual representatives to have the freedom to deliberate as they see fit.
I spoke in favour of any party's privilege to decide for itself how it runs – that does not mean that I favour an iron fisted rule – but that a party has the right to choose that.
Yesterday, when I told the whip that I would be voting against the official party position, the whip thanked me for letting him know and shrugged and said – it's your vote. You've got to do what you've got to do.
Dying With Dignity
of course, this can really only mean that attempted suicide is not illegal. The argument is made, then, that it is discriminatory to make assisted suicide illegal, - able bodied people have the 'right' to commit suicide, then to be fair, people who need assistance should have that same right.
Closure of Veterans Affairs Offices
What is absolutely deplorable about this situation is the willingness of some to willfully and knowingly deceive veterans in order to be able to manipulate them and use them as political cannon fodder.
Veterans are a selfless group with very little concern for their own wellbeing, willing to sacrifice all, if necessary, for the good of their fellow countrymen. They deserve our gratitude and respect - and of course real, tangible help and support when they need it. And I will not support any measure that is not in harmony with these principles.
I can tell you with confidence that the story being portrayed by the opposition and by the media is NOT accurate. The changes with Veterans Services are not cuts; the changes really will make veterans services more accessible by more veterans, in a more effective and efficient way.
This does not excuse the public disrespect that has been shown to our veterans. While the Minister must have been frustrated that he was being hotly criticized for changes that will actually improve the lives of most veterans, that frustration should have been entirely directed at the deceivers and not to the deceived.
They will tell you that we are shutting down 8 offices, what they don't tell you that it is to make room to expand services and make them more accessible to more veterans. As of February there will be over 650 locations across Canada where veterans can receive in-person service from the Government of Canada – which is 16 times higher than in 2006. Veterans who cannot access support at the established centres can receive in-person service in the comfort of their own homes. This is in addition to the 5 billion dollars of additional new funding our Government has dedicated to veteran support since taking office. The media and opposition will leave that out too.
The offices closing share three things. 1- Generally fewer than 10 visits per day and most being drop off of forms (not accurately tracked so this is an estimate provided through observation); 2- A case load of 145 or fewer Case managed veterans in the area (generally only case managed veterans require the administrative assistance the offices provide); and 3- Each VAC office has a nearby Service Canada office (in the case of 5 of them, the Service Canada office is in the same building)
Service Canada offices in the cities of closure will have a VAC Client Service Agent added to the office. This change is based on feedback from the veterans attending the October 2013 PSAC event. Given the few visits per day, one trained VAC worker will allow a seamless transition
In an effort to help veterans understand what is really happening with veterans services, and to answer their questions, hear their concerns, and seek their recommendations for improvements, I will be meeting with veterans in the riding in an environment away from cameras and microphones, away from any political posturing. My staff is still working on scheduling the meetings, but if there are veterans in our area that you know, please let me know so we can be sure they are invited.

Because, why not?
This is a project by students from the computer science background at Gannon University. Software engineering, computer science, and information systems.
This is a project for our senior design class in which we have to design and implement our own team proejct. We chose to go to space (well, almost).
As it is our senior year, and we have flexibility on our project, we want to go all out. Space is the final frontier, and we plan to go (almost) there.
What we're aiming to do
What we're aiming to do
In a sentence, we want to send a raspberry pi to (almost) space using a high altitude balloon. A raspberry pi is a mini $35 computer that uses an SD card for storage. We will hook up a GPS sensor and a variety of other sensors, along with 1 or 2 cameras to take video/pictures throughout its journey. The pictures we get alongside the data collected will be presented at the end of the year and then put online for anyone to view. We have called the project Gannon University Raspberry Pi Space Initiative (GURPSI for short). As the project happens, we will be uploading pictures here so anyone can see the process as it unfolds.Raspberry Pi Foundation Gannon University
During the course of this semester and next, we will be developing our project. This semester is heavily focused on design, and next semester is heavily focused on implementation. However, due to the nature of our project, we are working on some implementation this semester as well. During the implementation in the spring semester, we will be aquiring all of the needed components for the flight computer and possible base of operations (and anything else needed). All software interactions with the hardware will be developed and tested, then on that fateful spring day (that has yet to be choosen), the balloon will be released into the atmosphere.
The total cost for the project right now is hovering around $1500.00 - $2000.00. You can see a pie chart (without cost numbers per item), on what the cost of the components are looking like right now. That graph totals up to close to $1500.00 - $2000.00. We are applying for research grants and looking for school/department sponsors to help fund or totally fund the project. In return, the department or people who help fund it, will receive pictures/video of their name on the launch vehicle. We may also open donations on this site someday as well.

Love this dish - it is a regular in our household. I double the recipe and use crushed tomatoes to eliminate the blending and use dried basil instead of fresh. I serve it with a salad and garlic bread.
Pasta with Vodka Cream Sauce

smith3576 Posted: 11/22/08
This was okay, but bland and I would definitely not make it again. Not worth the effort and not much better than store bought tomato sauce. Not worth the calories and fat from the cream that's in it.
ChristineF Posted: 11/17/08
This sauce was a perfect lowfat version of the indulgent restaurant vodka sauce. I added grilled chicken to make a full meal of it - YUM!
alohaphd Posted: 12/31/08
This is a great meatless dish. Super easy to make with very simple ingredients. The taste is great. I use the immersion belnder to save a little time. You have to be careful of course since the stuff in the pan is hot. I do have to admit that I add parmesan cheese at the end to mine. I think you really need the cheese to make the dish complete. My husband loves it as well.
Lucinda17 Posted: 03/07/09
This dish is awesome. I added mushrooms and 3/4 cup vodka to the sauce mixture. I added 1/2 cup of whipping cream instead of 1/4 cup. I also added chicken, bacon pieces and shredded parmesan. My husband and I love this dish.
MJRound Posted: 01/22/09
I use Fire Roasted organic tomatoes and find they give the sauce a lift.
faithy Posted: 03/25/10
DELICIOUS!! I doubled the recipe (except pasta, but made more than called for). I used Organic Fire Roasted canned tomatoes, totally yummy. I do think the fresh basil at the end makes a big difference. I am so excited to have a yummy vodka sauce recipe! Served with Michael Chiarello's Grilled Roasted Garlic-Rosemary Bread and salad. I did also have grilled chicken breast on hand as I was not sure if there would be enough and needed leftovers for lunch. Some at with chicken, some did not.
KristinBaby Posted: 06/17/10
This was delicious! I think it may even be better that Rachel Ray's recipe! Served it with a simple grilled chicken breast cutlet and salad. The only thing I did different: I used a hand-held immersion blender and left the sauce in the pot, instead of transferring to and from the blender. Much easier if you have that tool.
Lauren123 Posted: 03/24/10
Easy to make and fantastic! The sauce has some heat, which I loved.
MsCarol Posted: 09/07/11
My family loves pasta vodka, bu the high fat content has always been a turn off. I use the light whipping cream here and find it works just as nicely, with even less fat. Delicious!
kayceescorner Posted: 10/21/11
I finally made this! And it was delicious :] But I'm not really the best cook, lol. I did add a small twist though... I used Voli's lemon flavored vodka. It's suuuper low in calories and the lemon added that extra citrus zest to the sauce :]
ticlita Posted: 06/28/14
I thought this was very good. It's nice when you don't think you have anything for dinner, because I almost always have these ingredients on hand. It is easy to make and tasty. I substitute apple juice for the vodka.
