The Greek Orthodox Church is gearing up to provide relief supplies and psychological help when the country's financial crisis really hits ordinary people after the summer, a senior churchman has said.
Greece plans draconian budget cuts to tackle a debt crisis threatening to spread across Europe. Some 50,000 Greeks marched against the austerity programme in Athens on Wednesday in a protest that saw three people killed in a fire-bombed bank.
"We know that the consequences of the measures will be more strongly felt after the summer, so we are getting ready (and) training parish priests to deal with the crisis," Rev. Gabriel Papanicolaou told the World Council of Churches news service on Thursday.
Papanicolaou, who spoke in Geneva while attending a WCC meeting, said churches had to bring hope to their followers.

I love writing reunion stories. I think because the characters come to the table with built-in conflict. Because if they have a shared past, something happened to break them up. They have ISSUES. And now they have a second chance to get it right… or screw it up again.
In INTO THE FIRE, Chris and Ally have been in denial that they are still important to each other. Three years earlier she gave him back his ring. It was Over with a capital "O". That is, until her "pet" project – a no-kill animal shelter – suffers a devastating fire. Ally's determined to get everyone out – and by everyone I mean cats and dogs. And Chris's main concern is getting HER out alive. Because in that moment when he realizes the danger she's in, he knows that nothing has really changed.
The problems that tore them apart the first time haven't gone anywhere, but neither has the sizzling attraction. This time they're going to deal with their issues. Maybe they've grown up a little bit. Whatever the reason, it was incredibly fun writing this story.

Four Jar Upcycling Ideas
Recently I've come across a few different tutorials and/or suggestions of how to re-purpose glass jars so I started collecting a variety and hope to try a couple of the following options myself.
Painted & Embossed Design - Using a hot glue gun, write on or decorate the outside of the jar with a pattern then let the glue set for a while. Once it's fully dried and the glue has solidly adhered to the jar, paint the whole exterior of the jar. Now you can use your decorated jar for storage or as a makeshift vase :)
Lace Covered Storage - Alternatively, take your jar and buff it til it shines, then take a piece of lace and/or doily material fold or wind it around the jar, securing in place with well spaced glue dots (using hot glue gun). You could additionally tie a coloured ribbon around the whole middle of the jar or around the neck for extra flourish. Now you have a vintage inspired storage or candle-holder jar :)
A Small Terranium - [A terrarium is a miniature landscape with living plants] Make sure your jar has a wide enough neck to put your hand in or at least to allow you to reach in with your fingers. Besides the jar itself, you'll need: some potting soil, some plants, small bag of stones or pebbles for the bottom of the terrarium (You can pick small stones from your backyard and save a bit of money here!) Now, Put a one inch layer of stones in the bottom of your terrarium; fill the container about a third full of potting soil; arrange the plants in your terrarium; once you're sure of the plant layout/arrangement fill the container with a little more soil (to around the half full mark) and gently tap it down so it is firm and the plants are supported; water moderately then put the terranium in a place with occasional sunlight.
Frosted Candle Lantern - To make it Plain Frosted: Take some Glass Etching Spray (available at most DIY / Hobby Craft Stores) and spray coat the entire external surface of the jar. Alternatively, to make it Pattern Frosted: Cut pieces of paper label sheet into the desired shapes / letters then stick them to the jar surface. Spray the outer surface of the jar with Glass Etching Spray to coat. Leave the jar to dry, once fully dry, remove/peel off the sticky labels to reveal the unfrosted glass, leaving a visible contrast pattern. To add a Handle: Take some sturdy (1mm) jewellery wire (also available from most Hobby Craft or Beading Stores) and cut a length, enough to fit around the neck of the jar with some extra for loops. Wind the wire securely around the neck of the jar. Fashion two loops, opposite each other, by twisting the ends of the wire; trim off any excess wire. Cut another length of wire and bend it into a rounded handle then thread each end through a loop and twist to secure. Now you have a tea light / small candle lantern! :D

Sunday Suppers: Whole Damn Chickens
I'll apologize right at the start: I didn't plan ahead, so there won't be any pictures for this post. Instead, I'll try to make up for it with multiple recipes.
Longtime readers will remember that whole damn chickens are a friend of mine. Not only are they one of the cheapest "cuts" of meat available, they're decently sized for most family meals, and pretty flexible when it comes to applications.
Roasting is obvious (it says "roaster" right on the label for most 6-8lbs. birds) and one of my favourite applications is broiling (see the previous post, Angry Birds — I use a broiler because I live in an apartment, grilling would be even better) but there's more than one way to cook these critters.
Many folks, when they hear about chicken cooked in a crock pot, assume that we'll be boiling the ever-living snot out of it, to make soup. Boiled chicken is dry, and bad, however (despite the wet cooking method) (counter-intuitive, I know, but proteins can overcook no matter where the heat is coming from).
Here's an alternate:
In the bottom of a large crock pot, layer 1-1½ pound of potatoes (I like reds or golds – small, waxy types, left whole or cut into rough chunks) along with carrots and celery. I like to use 8-12oz of baby cut carrots, and a stalk of celery, finely diced. To that I'll add onions (a quarter onion, minced) and garlic (4 cloves, minced, but then: I love garlic). And then we add the bird:
The biggest bird that comfortably fits in my crock pot is 5 pounds — and I usually look for one that size. Remove the giblets (if there are any), rinse in cold water, and then dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried herbs (if desired; I use a pre-packed 'Italian' herb mix) and then lay your chicken on top of the veg in the crock. And that's pretty much it.
Don't add any additional liquid. There's enough in the taters, carrots, and chicken. You can doubt me, but you have to try this: basically, we're using the slow cooker like a counter-top oven. It's not going to get hot enough to brown the skin (if that matters to you, you likely have a broiler to address the problem) but it's plenty to cook the chicken and then some. All the lovely fat and flavour of that chicken is going to drip down into your potatoes while it cooks (along with the salt and herbs).
[note here: I use a meat thermometer to determine when the bird is done: your target is 165° to 170°F]
This is actually enough to begin making a stock: if you cook a bird this way for at least four hours, and then transfer the crock to your fridge without eating anything (I've actually done this) then you'll notice the juices/gravy produced will gel: we've already extracted enough collagen from the bird — on the counter top, in just 4 hours — to make a damn fine jus for our dinner.
Oh, we're not done.
Our first meal includes those very fine, slow cooked potatoes and carrots, along with some of the broth and some choice cuts of chicken — maybe the breast fillets, or the thighs, pick your favourite.
After dinner — don't throw away those bones! I usually pick the bird clean (clean-ish – those bits of meat make the eventual soup better) before the first dinner and immediately start cooking a stock: put the bones & carcass back into the slow cooker, add liquid (some boxed chicken stock or plain water, or a mix of both) and set that sucker to low-and-slow.
You can do this the next day — or overnight. Just know that the 2nd recipe will take time. 8+ hours to get a stock from bones.
Time is all it takes, though: at this point, you've added enough alliums and salt to make the dish — it practically makes itself. You've a stock you can add vegetables or noodles to, to make a very fine soup.
The third recipe (at least for the purposes of this post) is going to be a chicken salad.
Reserve one pound of chicken from the first dish: now, this is likely just the leftovers — your methods may vary, though. Even before the chicken hits the table, I like to set a bit aside.
Since the chicken wasn't roasted (or boiled), our 'leftovers' are fairly moist. Roughly dice one pound of cooked chicken, add one 15oz can of diced tomatoes (well and thoroughly drained) with 10oz of chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and drained, with 1 tbsp or more of a spicy mustard and 2-3 tbsps of mayonnaise. (to taste: a drier mix actually works a little better – this isn't tuna salad)
The additions of spinach and tomato add some vitamins and fiber; they're also 'larder' supplies (canned and frozen) so readily to hand —
And, if I may be forgiven a bit of pride: also a damn fine combination of flavors
So, Meal one: slow cooker "roast" chicken with potatoes and carrots
Meal two: Chicken soup
Meal three: Chicken salad – for wraps, pitas, or sandwiches
plus an optional Meal four: a chicken pot pie or chicken stew (from the Chicken soup leftovers)
Considering whole chickens sell for as little as 79¢ a pound: it is worthwhile to experiment a bit.

Groundhog Day (Game Recap: Mets 6, Cubs 1)
Sweet Lou unveiled the "new look" Cubs lineup today in an effort to ignite a stagnant Cubs offense. The new look yielded the same results and two all too familiar culprits.
Randy Wells churned out another quality start by allowing an earned run on six hits and two walks over six innings. It looked like things were about to fall apart in the fifth inning when Wells loaded the bases with two outs and subsequently allowed a run-scoring infield single to Luis Castillo. However, Wells was able to strike out an over-eager David Wright on three pitches to end the threat and the inning.
Lou went to the bullpen in the seventh inning, and like a match to a powderkeg, the fireworks promptly began for the Mets. Feeling left out from the rest of the pen, the previously unscored upon James Russell served up a home run to Angel Pagan immediately after beaning Jose Reyes on an 0-2 pitch. And the fun didn't stop there. With two outs in the inning, Lou brought in implosion specialist Jeff Samardzija who promptly issued a walk to David Wright and a double off of the wall by Jason Bay. Even Sean Marshall got in on the fun in the seventh by allowing an RBI single to future Hall of Famer Ike Davis (he has a career batting average of .500!) and allowed a run to score on a wild pitch to the next batter.
There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said about the bullpen woes of the Cubs. It's thirteen games into the season and the roles in the bullpen are about as defined as they were coming into Spring Training. The Shark looks like he has no idea where his release point is at and really needs to be put on the first bus down to Iowa to get some substantive instruction (like: how a sinker is supposed to sink). With Andrew Cashner dominating hitters in Double A (3 GS, 17.1 IP, 5 ER, 25:4 K:BB) and the instability of the club's MLB bullpen, I think it is safe to begin the "Cashner Watch" (in spite of this) He was a very good closer for TCU, and I believe he could be useful at the major league level.
Then again it's not like the offense helped Wells out tonight, either. On a positive note, the new leadoff hitter Marlon Byrd went 3-4 with an RBI and the oft-criticized Alfonso Soriano went 2-4 (albiet, with a double that could have been streched out if he hustled). Byrd's comfort in the leadoff spot may have something to do with the fact that he spent a fair amount of time in that spot during his time with the Phils. It seems that some Chicago sports personalities are against the move, as they believe Byrd is more valuable in a lower lineup spot because he is 'clutch'. Considering the Cubs could use any spark possible at the top of the lineup, I think Byrd did a fine job of working the count and setting the table; both qualities I attribute to a successful leadoff hitter.
Aside from Byrd and Soriano, all the other offensive statistics are appaling. The team went 1-10 with runners in scoring position. The 3-4-5 hitters went 1-11 with two walks. Aramis Ramirez continued his frigid start to the season with an 0-4 showing which dropped his average to .157. Even more troubling, Ramirez only saw a total of 14 pitches in his 4 AB's. It seems like Ramirez is pressing right now and the Cubs as a whole are suffering because of it.
On a positive note, Theodore Roosevelt Lilly allowed only one run over seven innings in his final rehab start for Class A Peoria. He threw 88 pitches in the outing and stuck out nine batters while only walking one. Theodore, well aware of the offensive struggles in his absence and always the consummate team player, even attempted a stolen base. It looks like he will make his first start with the big club on Sunday against the Brewers.
Tomorrow the Cubs look to even the series against right hander Mike Pelfrey. Lou may not trot out the new look lineup tomorrow, but hopefully the end result will be different.
Bad Team
My first comment!
I've watched several games this year.
This is a bad Cubs' team. I'll be surprised if they are a contender.
Soriano has to go. Playing the spectator when he could have stretched a double into a triple was a disaster last night... not just in terms of strategy, but also for the psychology of the team. What is the rest of the team supposed to think when its highest paid player dogs it? Ron Darling, one of the Mets' announcers, tore into Soriano all night. He stated repeatedly that this play changed the entire game, and that it especially hurt Soto, who could have come up to bat with Soriano on third and a chance for a sacrifice fly. Darling said that Soto could have really used the boost of confidence that that opportunity might have provided.
I watched on the Mets channel last night, so I got a different view of the Cubs than you get when you tune in to the homer announcers. The Mets' announcers tore the Cubs apart. They repeatedly called the team "lifeless," meaning unmotivated. (New Yorkers demand that their teams win, and they pummel the team relentlessly if it loses. Stark contrast to Chicago.)
They also ridiculed Soriano ruthlessly, basically calling him an albatross that the Cubs can't afford to dump. They dismissed Soriano as a player who's career is really over.
Ron Darling picked the Cubs' hitters apart. He said that they've completely lost any plate discipline that they briefly acquired when Fukudome signed. He noted correctly that Cubs' hitters refused to adjust and shorten their swings when they were down two strikes.
I suggest that you listen to the opponent's announcers during a Cub game. It isn't just a rotten bullpen and a batting slump that's deep sixing the Cubs. This team has no motivation, no plate discipline, no three hole hitter who hits for average and it's saddled with a star (Soriano) who's dogging it. The Cubs desperately need to eat Soriano's contract and dump him.
The lack of a three hole hitter, or for that matter any kind of hitter who just seeks to make contact, was highlighted when the Mets scored their first run on a scratch hit. The Cubs had numerous opportunities to score simply by putting the ball in play, and they failed every time.
No 3 hole hitter?!!
Derrek Lee is a pretty good 3 hole hitter. They talked about his batting average with runners in scoring position from 2007-2009 on ESPN. Derrek Lee has batted .330. That is third in the National League I believe. Albert Pujols is second and Aramis Ramirez is first.
On Baseball Tonight, John Kruk ripped Soriano for being lazy. The compared a double by him and one by Adam Dunn to a similar spot in the outfield. Dunn beat Soriano by half a second. Kruk went on to say there was no way that Soriano shouldn't have had a triple. Given the Cubs struggles, the only acceptable excuse is that Sori was saddled by leg injuries,
No 3 hole hitter!
Derek Lee is certainly a power 3 hole hitter.
But, he isn't a contact hitter. His stats for double plays last year were a disaster. Lee is a big swinger.
The Cubs need a guy in the three hole who hits .330, always makes contact, seldom hits into a double play, and hits homers at opportune moments.
Let's put Billy Williams back in uniform.
I wish.
DLee and the DP
I think Derrek is a little bit of both. To say he isn't a contact hitter and then citing his double plays seems to be a bit off in logic. Grounding into a double play usually implies contact in the first place. That being said, Derrek only grounded into 12 double plays in 2009 while putting up a .306/.393/.579 line. You may be talking about his 2008 campaign where he grounded into a grand total of 27 double plays. During 2008, his BABIP was .330, which was actually a touch higher than his BABIP from last year (.327). However, his batting average for ground balls in play was a highly unlucky .232. To put that into a bit of perspective, Pujols had a BABIP for ground balls in 2008 of .320. Part of that disparity is that Pujols is an elite hitter, but the other part of that was Lee was just not finding holes and hitting it right at people. To a degree, the double plays were a result of bad luck.
Moreover, Lee tends to only strike out about 110-ish times a year. Not the best, but it's not Ryan Howard-esque either. In 2008, his "bad season," he put the ball in play in 484 of his 623 AB's. In 2009, he put the ball in play 388 times out of 523 AB's. Is this flawless? No. Are there batters that are better at putting the ball in play? Yes. However, I think this is a pretty acceptable range for a hitter.
Of the requirements you list, basically only Albert Pujols matches your description of a true #3 hitter. A good goal to have, yes... but not a good benchmark.
@Shouting Thomas
The Cubs home announcing team has never come across as "homer" to me. Bob Brenly has habitually lit into players that he feels aren't giving 100% effort. If Kent Mercker had been on the team with Brenly around, he would have ran to the front office to bitch about his poor PR on a half dozen occasions.
But I do agree with you on Soriano. That pose at the plate on his early double was a big, fat f*ck you to his teammates.
Homer announcers
New York just has a different attitude than Chicago... the result of being used to winning.
Criticism is just ruthless in New York. You must perform and win... or we'll get you out of here. Winning is expected and demanded.
There's something different in the way criticism is delivered in Chicago. Winning isn't expected or demanded. It's hoped for.
So, players' egos are babied a bit in Chicago. Chicago announcers hope that players will improve.
The New York attitude is more along the lines of: Hey, this guy better get his act together or we'll go out and buy somebody better. He's lucky he gets to wear that "New York" on the front of his uniform.
It's a subtle difference, but it pays off for New York teams.
There is a concrete difference, too. The Yankees or the Mets would dump Soriano, eat his contract, and pay for a better player.
Yankees Dumped Soriano
Of course, it should be noted that the Yankees cut Soriano loose, despite his obvious potential.
The Yankees are not stupid.
The Yankees didn't dump Soriano
They traded him for Alex Rodriguez, arguably the best player in baseball.

Some of the activities pay out good like searches and the daily polls. Other activities like the surveys are a real pain and sometimes don't pay out. I don't waste my time on activities that don't pay out. Points are redeemed for prizes. I usually opt to get gift cards as prizes so that I can spend them on what I really want instead of picking an actual prize. So far, I have gotten monthly $25 Paypal cards and multiple $5 Amazon cards. I use Paypal money to buy for my monthly Blockbuster account so it is sort of like free money that doesn't come out of my pocket. The $5 Amazon cards I save up to buy stuff I need or gifts for others. Swagbucks is especially handy to have around to buy Christmas presents and Birthday presents. I can testify that it is not a scam. You will earn swagbucks just for signing up. So, why not give it a try? If you do a lot of online shopping, many stores are hooked up with Swagbucks, so you can earn points for shopping you already do. That adds up to extra money for your pocket.

Millennium! »
I have a rule for Millennium. You take me here, I will put out. Whether you like it or not. I've made a not-interested-in-ladies-in-that-way friend very uncomfortable after he so politely paid the tab. Basically, you pull out your charge card and I'm knocking shit down, crawling across the table and COMIN' TO GETCHA! Hot, I know.
Speaking of hot, let's talk Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, what is that about exactly? I'll tell you. It's about love, showing affection through consumerism, and anal sex. Not necessarily in that order but everyone has to get something out of it. What I'm trying to get at here is that Millennium is the perfect Valentine's day spot for the vegan vagina in your life. I don't know why I just typed vegan vagina, it's like I lost control of my fingers and it just came out. I apologize. This post is about to get a lot less vulgar and a lot more SEXY! Because sex sells and Vegansaurus needs some traffic! SEX!
First sexy thing about Millennium, it's located in a nice hotel. Restaurants in hotels are always sexy unless it's the Holiday Inn Kids Eat Free, but I already promised I'd stay away from vulgar. First non-sexy thing about Millennium, the hotel is in the Tenderloin, where crackheads go to die. I'm not just saying that, it's on maps. It's depressing in a way that can only be described as mass suffering multiplied by urine plus a meth-head jamboree. Can I get a what-what for city living!?
Second sexy thing about Millennium, they have TheMostAmazing drink menu, often including a vegan white russian! Excellent mixed drinks with vodka they infuse themselves and an extensive beer and wine menu…all vegan, all excellent!
Third sexy thing, Millennium's staff is sexy and adorable. Second non-sexy thing, not all of the clientele is sexy and adorable. Fourth sexy thing, dim lighting makes everything better!
Fifth sexy thing, THE MENU! It's mostly seasonal but there are a few standout items on the all-organic menu that you'll see year-round. The Zaatar and Garlic Spiced Hand-Cut Frittes (that's fries to the rest of us!) are fucking amazing. YOU MUST GET THEM. Even if you aren't a fry person (GET AWAY FROM ME!), these things will blow your mind! Sesame Cornmeal Crusted Oyster Mushrooms are a classic on the menu and I love them. I normally am way averse to mushrooms but those little suckers fit the ticket! Right now they're serving Rancho Gordo Cannelini Runner Beans, which is basically a bruschetta of beans and seitan that is A-MAZING. I could easily make a meal (and often do) of appetizers and drinks. I think those are the best things they offer and it's a lot cheaper than ordering full meals! Don't get me wrong, the entrees are often delicious (like the currently offered, Seared Emerald Rice Cake with Indonesian red coconut curry, winter root veggies, lemongrass tofu and all sorts of other yummy things!) but they are more costly, usually ranging from $20-$25 while the appetizers and starters are more like $4-$10 and can be equally filling and provide more flavor combos bang for your buck!
The desserts are always yummy, ranging from their chocolate midnight cake (excellent and always on the menu!) to tiramisu to shortcakes to poached fruits to my favorite (and the cheapest!), The Sweet Ending, which is just some truffles and cookies and is always extra delicious. I've spent a couple weeknights as follows: walked into Millennium, sat at the bar, had a beer, the fries and a sweet ending and some excellent conversation with the bartenders and gotten out for $15. High class.
Right now, they are offering a Frugal Foodie deal, because sometimes it's hard to be extra frivolous and gluttonous when everyone around you is losing their jobs and applying for government cheese and being all poor and depressed and shit. So I thought this was a very classy thing for them to do. Sunday through Wednesday they offer a three-course prix fixe option for $38/person with an optional wine pairing for $12. V. nice!
And in conclusion, please see the first "paragraph" of this review: I'm not wearing any underwear. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!

Review: Firefly! »
My dad took me on a date to Firefly. It was a great date even though my mom came along. Honestly, that is how I feel when I eat out with my parents: it's me and my dad and the precocious whiny 12-year-old who wants her steak cut into perfect squares or she'll just DIE! I mean, I practically have to ask for a high chair because she is such a baby. Also, she's about five feet tall and shrinking so the high chair comes in handy for that too. ANYWAY, despite the fact that we brought crazy town Momma B along for the ride, my dad and I had a lovely time. Sorry, did I say lovely? I meant bizarre.
Ordering with my mom and dad is like watching a figure skater fall. Humiliating. My mom recently announced to the family that she is going vegetarian. I'm kinda like, whatever, because my mom takes on new diets like Mary-Kate Olsen turns down life-sustaining food and beverage. Which is to say, every fucking day. So anyway, my mom is all, "Hmm…what should I GET? Maybe the fish?" and I'm like, "fish isn't a vegetable," and she's all, "oh that's right, I'm vegetarian now," and my dad starts laughing hysterically and is all, "YEAH RIGHT! Did she tell you that, Laura? HAHAHA what a liar!" and my mom is all, "oh what are you going to order, JOHN? Bambi?" and my dad is all, "well maybe I will, JOYCE,"* and I'm all, "SHOOT ME IN THE MOTHERFUCKING FACE."
Everything at Firefly is really, really delicious and there are always a couple of sides that are vegetarian or vegan (or can be made vegan) and at least one vegan entree. The vegan entree the night we went was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Basically, it was phyllo pastry stuffed with all sorts of perfectly cooked vegetables on a pile of perfect rice. My description is horrible but to sum it up, my knees buckled and angels sang; it was like being in heaven without the crappy death part. The vegan dish right now is roasted fall vegetables and sauteed greens with pomegranate salsa, quinoa and Luc's Indiana green harissa. If brussels sprouts are on the menu, get them. Same with anything made with beets. I will be eating that on Saturday night when I go there on a for real date not with my parents. Moving up in the world!
Oh also, the waitresses are all sex pots and I wanted to mount the busboy at the table. LAURA GROSS WHAT THE STAFF'S ATTRACTIVE!!
So, more recap on actual establishment. Firefly: food is amazing, vegetarian and vegan options (although I wish there were more! C'mon! Give us more, Firefly, and you could be in Lauras for DAYS!) in a very romantical setting. It's a date place if ever a date place existed. Plus, it's nice to walk around Noe Valley hand in hand after dinner and count the number of screaming babies and then go home and make sweet love wearing 19 condoms and using a pound of spermicide. You might want to throw on a dental dam or five just in case. Alternately, you can just rip out your uterus and run it over with your car.
Oh and no vegan desserts at Firefly. Boo.
Finally, I must issue a demerit for the following reason:
I'm about to go on an Animal Rights Bender so please pass this enormously long run-on sentence if you can't handle the HEAT! Firefly says something on the menu that's like, "The animals that we serve are raised and slaughtered humanely and aren't pumped full of chemicals and crack cocaine and shit like that," and while that's very cute and clever, the animals that they serve were not humanely slaughtered and just…the making light of something like that turns me off. It's like, those animals gave their lives for you to fucking enjoy your pork tenderloin so don't fucking make jokes about it. Almost all animals from every farm in the U.S. go to one of the few processing slaughterhouses that are HELLHOLES and they spend their final days scared shitless surrounded by death so really, don't make a goddamn joke about it, goddammit.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. Anyway I am a college student and lifted alot in highschool which was years ago, but havent lifted since. I am trying to set a diet to go along with my workout plan. Throughout my college years my diet has consisted of mainly fast food, alot of soda, and alot of beer. I am 5'10 and 192 lbs, I am chubby but I dont look terrible. I would like to get down to about 165 lbs. I have gone to a few websites that estimate how many calories your body burns in a day and my estimate was 3300 calories which seems about right. I am thinking about intaking 2000 calories per day.
Anyway, the rough diet that have have come up with is as follows:
1 bagel for breakfast
1 subway melt (half of lunch, half for dinner)
3 glasses of skim milk (1 with each meal)
2 whey protein shakes throughout the day, with two scoops of protein each
The total calories for this comes out to 1740 with 17% fat, 45% carbs, 38% protein. For the last 260 cals I would eat various other foods, making sure to get some fruit in there every day to get about 2000 calories with about the 40/40/20 percentages.
I am a broke college kid, so I dont have alot of time or money to cook much. I chose a subway sub every day because it is healthy, cheap with the 2 for $8.99 deal, and I live within walking distance of a subway. I am working out with the wbb 1.1 routine on the website.
So, what do you all think of this diet? I havent started it yet, just an idea. Is eating a bagel for breakfast everyday, and having a subway sub every day not good? Do you think 2000 calories will be too little? I dont usually have a very big appetite. Is 40/40/20 the way best way for me to cut do you think? Is 4 scoop of protein (120 cals per scoop) too much for a 2000 calorie diet?
Thanks in advance for the input!

Minister Ahern travels to Brussels for EU Foreign Ministers' meeting
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Dermot Ahern T.D., will travel to Brussels tomorrow for a meeting of EU Foreign Ministers. The meeting will discuss the EU's response to the recent tsunami disaster in Asia and plans for longer-term follow-up in the region.
Previewing the meeting, Minister Ahern said:
"The response to the disaster in Ireland and across Europe has been enormous. It is important that we now translate that response into a long term commitment to the region. The countries of the region face an enormous task of reconstruction, and we must do what we can to help.
Tomorrow, we will consider a draft Action Plan presented by the Luxembourg Presidency. The draft Action Plan details the follow-up actions that the EU might take in order to improve its capacity to react to the Tsunami disaster and to other similar crises in the future."
Other topics for discussion include Iraq, relations with Ukraine, the Middle East Peace Process and the situation in Sudan / Darfur.
Note for editors
The EU Action Plan will encompass the short and longer-term response of the EU and Member States to the tsunami disaster. The aim of the plan is to coordinate all available resources at all levels and in all areas (analysis, planning of resources, operational action, prevention, etc.) to deal with the consequences of such events now and in the future. It stresses the central role of the United Nations in coordinating relief and proposes measures to improve the EU's civil response capabilities.

We read a blog post by 钟布 in Ifeng.com that narrates how the author's parents came to visit in the United States and shows stark cultural differences between the American and Chinese lifestyle.
If you are Chinese-American or have similar experiences, please share your views below.
After settling in the United States for quite some time, I have unconsciously adapted the local customs (like how they say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"). Cultural differences have started to blur, and I do not think much about them anymore. After all, having lived in China for many years and now walking along American streets, I still get to see my parents from China who visit me. But after staying for a certain period, my parents would get lonely; as they do not know how to speak in English. They especially wish to chat with fellow Chinese. When I speak to them, I get snippets of information that one can not find in the Internet. Their observations to the American lifestyle remind me that cultural differences between living in China and the United States are, in fact, everywhere.
Glass Doors
When Dad and Mom came to the United States, they did not lack in praises for the house. Everyone has their own bedrooms; the kitchen has a big refrigerator; there is a front yard, a backyard, and garage; and there are many bathrooms–all convenient and comfortable. However, they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor. My mom, who is from southern China, is worried what if someone breaks open the glass doors. I would explain to her: in the last decade, there has been no such thing happening in this small district. And if someone does break-in, what would they steal? Everything is insured so the loss will not be that great. (The only steal-able item is the laptop, but it is not as if the contents are very important.)
Anyway, breaking-in is a serious crime in the United States. So there is not a lot of these people who are so desperate that they would break-in homes, especially in small cities. No matter how I explained it to her, she can not seem to be satisfied with my answer.
Large-Size Beverages
When I brought Dad and Mom to eat in the fast food joints, whether it be in McDonald's or KFC, they see that refilling drinks is always for free. They do not really go to fast food joints–this concept of free refill is so new to them. They could not understand why Americans would still order the large-size drinks if they could refill their cups for free. The prices of medium and large drinks do not vary that much. But for the small cups, there is a cost difference of 39 to 49 cents (USD). Or maybe is that Americans are too lazy that they find refilling to be too bothersome? This is not quite right though. Fast food drinks are easily obtained outside the counter. You can get as many as you want. I have not really thought about this as I always get the free water whenever I eat at fast foods. I also do not ask other people about this.
A Chinese friend told me a story which might help me understand how Americans think. He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant. Girlfriend wants to drink English tea (which my Chinese friend has never tried before). He was curious, so he tried it and found out that adding milk and sugar to his tea is not bad tasting at all. Adding more water to tea is free of course. So he drank cupfuls more. His girlfriend find it embarrassing to explain to him that what he is doing is not exactly fair. If he wants to drink more tea, he should buy another cup. My friend's observation is that there are Americans who take advantage of the free refills, but there are only a few of them.
Holiday Gift-giving
Gift-giving during holidays is very common in the United States. But Dad and Mom found out that gift-giving is not the same in China and the United States. They said, the gift-giving tradition here is that you give gifts to the people with low incomes such as the school bus drivers, the janitors, the office staff, etc. They do not give gifts to the ones in higher position. And the gifts are not on the expensive side, mostly gift certificates worth USD15-20 or a box of chocolates. Neighbors also exchange gifts like homemade cakes and USD10-bottle of wines.
I explained to them that gift-giving in the United States is done mostly to express thanks. The Chinese also have this saying, 礼轻情意重, meaning little gifts could have profound meanings. Anyway, why would you give gifts to those with higher salaries or higher position than you are? It would be weird, and they will likewise feel it to be unnatural. If you give gifts due to self-interest, it would not really solve the problem. You can not really decide the fate of something though an action alone. In other words, the power of the American superior is actually very limited. Giving gifts to solve a problem might make your relationship complicated resulting in an awkward situation between the two of you. I also feel this explanation is not enough. But having no experience working in the United States makes it difficult to say how the American boss and employee relationship works.
Greeting Strangers
Dad has this habit of exercising on the lawn, doing his daily Tai Chi. People would stop by and say hi to him like old friends. He would ask, you just moved in recently yet how come a lot of people know you already? I would then answer that it is pretty normal for strangers to just greet each other here. After that, Dad no longer practices Tai Chi outside, exercising at the back instead.
Another time, Dad and I were driving along the highway when the car suddenly broke down. Many drivers stopped by to try to offer assistance. Dad thought that it was weird many would show concern. But I have already been accustomed to this attitude.
Adopting Children With Disabilities
Dad and Mom were most surprised with a family raising five kids with disabilities. This family lives at the end of our street. What shocked my parents was that how they can take care of that many kids and all of them with varying levels of disabilities at that (and lastly, all of them coming from Vietnam). It is difficult to raise one healthy child, what more with a child who has disabilities (and make that five of them)?
I did not ponder too deeply on this question anymore as I know a lot of American families living in the same situation. One of my work colleagues, together with his wife, adopted two "black" kids. One of them is five years old and before the adoption, they already knew beforehand that he is a special child. Another kid is 14 years old who is suffering from diabetes. That kid has been to several foster families thus collecting not a few bad habits along the way. By the way, my colleague and his wife are "white" and just in their 30s. Because they have adopted these two children, they have also thought about having their own child. Last week, my colleague told me his wife is pregnant. Dad and Mom are always skeptical when I tell them these stories. Maybe I should take them to my colleague.

When standard manufacturing resource planning (MRP) tools are not powerful enough, production managers turn to more robust, and more complicated, production planning and scheduling systems (aka "advanced planning & scheduling"). These best-of-breed planning systems use advanced mathematical models to better simulate the production environment. We wrote this buyer's guide to help buyers unravel the web of manufacturing planning and scheduling solutions.
Here's what we'll cover:
"Theory is closer to practice in theory than in practice" is a truism in complex manufacturing. Manufacturing resource planning software is used by manufacturers to allocate raw materials and plan production. MRP works well for manufacturers that have large runs or few products. However, the planning methodologies used by most MRP applications cannot handle the demands of large numbers of small runs of products, orders that change frequently, or large numbers of make-to-order (MTO) or customized products. That's where manufacturing and planning scheduling software comes in.
Manufacturing scheduling software extends MRP in four important ways.
Manufacturing schedule software is best suited to operations that specialize in MTO or assemble to order (ATO) operations and in agile facilities. They are also useful for organizations that use a large number of components or have complex tasks. Finally, they are critical for firms that have a limited facility that is shared among different product lines that are competing for resources.
The first step in evaluating production planning software is to determine what kind of buyer you are. Over 90% of software buyers fall into one of these three groups:
While you evaluate production planning and scheduling systems, make sure you consider these market trends:
MRP systems, whether stand-alone or incorporated in an ERP system, offer distinct benefits over less formal systems. These include:
One of the biggest issues that arrive from using production planning and scheduling systems is the tendency for managers to "tweak" the system's recommendations. This can lead to suboptimal results. If the planning and scheduling system continually gives information with which the manager disagrees, the assumptions must be re-examined or the manager should receive additional training.
E2 Shop System. Deemed the "Best in Class" shop management system among ERP options, the University of Notre Dame announced in March 2012 its selection of E2 Shop System for their college of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The program will be for applied research by the Hessert Laboratory.
Fishbowl Inventory. In May 2012, Red Herring listed Fishbowl in its Top 100 North American Tech Startups for 2012. Being the most requested inventory management solution for Quickbooks and a well-known asset management solution, Alex Vieux, Publisher and CEO of Red Herring explained their selection, "We believe Fishbowl embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Fishbowl should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
SYSPRO. SYSPRO announced in June 2012 that Supply & Demand Chain Executive's 100 recognized SYSPRO as a "supply chain solution provider that is leading the way in transforming companies' supply and demand chains." Samuel Strapping Systems, a manufacturer of steel and plastic strapping, implemented SYSPRO ERP and reduced inventories by $2 while still meeting customer demand.
We're able to offer this service to buyers for free, because software vendors pay us on a "pay-per-lead" basis. Buyers get great advice. Sellers get great referrals.

The Washington Post Co. said Thursday it has closed its sale of Newsweek magazine to Harman Newsweek LLC, led by Sidney Harman.
Harman agreed to buy Newsweek in August, ending a nearly half-century chapter for the magazine with the Washington Post.
The companies did not give financial terms of the deal. Newsweek had been struggling to stay profitable amid the poor economy and growing competition online. It posted a loss of nearly $30 million last year and expects another loss this year amid declines in circulation and advertising.
The Post Co. acquired Newsweek in 1961. It had been looking for a buyer since May.
Shares fell $5.96, or 1.5 percent, to $384.09 in midday trading.

Chicken-Collagen Capsules to Ease Arthritis
Scientists there conducted a clinical trial in which 326 people with rheumatoid arthritis took 0.1 mg. of chicken collagen daily for 24 weeks, while 177 rheumatoid arthritis sufferers took methotrexate, a common drug used to treat the condition. The results? At the end of the trial, both treatment groups reported less joint pain, stiffness in the morning, sensitivity and swelling.
While 58 percent of the methotrexate group claimed to have a 20 percent improvement in symptoms and 31 percent reported a 50 percent improvement, the chicken-collagen group was not far behind: Almost 42 percent of those taking chicken pills saw an improvement of 20 percent, with 17 percent saying they felt 50 percent better.
The chicken-collagen treatment is believed to work by encouraging the body to become more tolerant of collagen, of which cartilage is mainly comprised. Cartilage is the tissue that connects bones and enables them to move against each other.
In rheumatoid arthritis sufferers, this movement is compromised. The study findings are important because methotrexate, while providing significant relief for rheumatoid arthritis sufferers, can also have side effects. The most common are nausea and vomiting, but the drug also can interfere with immune function and with liver function. It also may cause serious birth defects and is not recommended for pregnant women or anyone who plans to become pregnant. Ingesting chicken collagen, by contrast, appears to carry few risks.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition affecting 1.3 million Americans. While it may lead to long-term joint damage and affect other organs in the body, the good news is it can be managed by ever newer drugs and joint-protection techniques.

March 21, 2013, 3:43 PM — Exploring methods of computing without silicon, IBM has found a way to make transistors that could be fashioned into virtual circuitry that mimics how the human brain operates.
The proposed transistors would be made from strongly correlated materials, which researchers have found to posses characteristics favorable for building more powerful, less power-hungry computation circuitry.
"The scaling of conventional-based transistors is nearing an end after a fantastic run of 50 years," said Stuart Parkin, an IBM fellow at IBM Research who leads the research. "We need to consider alternative devices and materials that will have to operate entirely differently. There aren't many avenues to follow beyond silicon. One of them is correlated electronic systems."
Parkin's team is the first to convert metal oxides from an insulated to conductive state by applying oxygen ions to the material. The team published details of the work in this week's edition of the Science journal.
The circuitry used in today's computer processors, memory and other components is made from large numbers of integrated transistors built from silicon wafers. Conventional transistors work by applying a small voltage across a gate, which can control -- or switch on or off -- a larger current passing through the transistor.
IBM's technique uses another approach to switching conductive states of a material. It requires strongly correlated electron materials, such as metal oxides. By conventional theory, these materials should act like conductors, but they are actually insulators. "They don't obey conventional band theory," Parkin said. Under certain conditions, however, they can change their conductive states.
Research has been going on for several years, in fact, to find ways of changing conductivity states in strongly correlated materials. Previous approaches, however, relied on techniques of applying stress to a material, or subjecting it to temperature changes. Neither approach would be practical to use in mass-produced circuitry. IBM's specific breakthrough, described in the paper, is that the conductive state of material could be changed by injecting oxygen molecules.
In IBM's setup, these electrons are introduced through contact with an ionic liquid, consisting of large, irregularly shaped molecules. When a voltage is applied to this liquid, and the liquid is placed on the oxide material, the material can change from a conductor to an insulator, or vice versa.

Hide a Bed Sofa
Whether you are a young person, a couple with limited income, or a family that has been struggling with making ends meet, you may find that you do not have the means to have the large space that you want for a home or apartment. One of the biggest joys in life is to have good relationships with family and friends, which may mean an overnight stay once in a while. If you don't have a spare room, as most people do not, it can be hard to find room for someone to spend the night. If you have frequent visitors, but not a lot of space, perhaps a hide a bed sofa is a great idea.
A hide a bed sofa is a great way to give someone a place to sleep when an extra room is out of the question. This can be the sofa that you have in your living room or den, or it can be something you keep in an office or other area of your home that you use for something else. This is something that many have had in the past, with the complaint that they are not very comfortable. If you have an older model, this may be the case, but the ones made today are very nice and can give almost anyone a great night of sleep.
Don't forget that a hide a bed sofa can be bad for someone with back problems. However, someone with back problems already knows that. They may not want to stay anywhere other than in their own bed for the reasons of comfort. If you spend a lot of money on your sofa, you may find that you have one that can be comfortable for those with back and comfort problems, but you will pay quite a bit for a nice mattress. If you think your parents may come to help with kids or stay for a while, you may want to make sure you have that very nice mattress for their comfort.
You have to care for the inside of a hide a bed sofa if you want to keep it nice for a very long time. You can buy sheets that are made just for your model of hide a bed, or you can get whatever you want if the mattress that comes with it is a standard full or even queen size. Don't forget to stock extra sheets and pillowcases. See if you should get a cover for the mattress when it is not in use. Also, keep in mind that bedbugs are coming back, so frequent vacuuming and checks for bugs are important when you check the other areas of your house.
Your hide a bed sofa is also something that is great for kids when they want to do something a little different. You can allow them to have friends over for a sleepover, pop in some movies and hand them some snacks, and then let them sleep on the hide a bed. Just make sure you clean up well before you put it back the next day. It is also nice when you are not feeling well but you can not hide upstairs in your bedroom. You may find this to be a big investment, but you are going to get more out of it than you thought. It truly is a useful items for almost all families.

Ok, we get it. Hellfire is a movable channeled spell.
Anyways, back to the actual SUBJECT of the post...
I never even considered arcane missiles being a spell that could hit multiple targets. That's a fantastic idea!
As far as needing a facelift goes, I think that they should facelift arcane, but not much else. I'm happy with the fire and frost trees. (outside the fact of frosts pve unviableness). I love arcane and want to see it GET some love.

"I never even considered arcane missiles being a spell that could hit multiple targets."
Interesting. When I first started playing WoW, I was very surprised when, the first time I cast arcane misssiles with multiple targets, that it *didn't* split the missiles between them. Probably comes from playing D&D, where you can split the magic missiles spell between multiple targets. It's exactly how I expected the spell to work, since it's an obvious takeoff on D&D's magic missiles, and was very surprised and disappointed when it didn't.
