Peaches, blackberries and blueberries make up the filling of these irresistable mini pies. By baking separately in ramekins, each pie feels like a special homestyle treat made especially for you.
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
Recipe from
- 4 cups peaches, pitted, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced

After several days of high-intensity studying and celebrating the end of the semester, several Sigma Nu brothers headed off to the biannual Midnight Breakfast at the UAH cafeteria. This popular event features a smorgasboard of breakfast delights, both hot and cold, served by well-known faculty members of the various UAH colleges. This year's event was especially entertaining with snow blowers placed outside windows, Christmas gifts for students, and Charger Santa available for pictures or that last-minute give-me-an-A-on-my-exam wish.

Discovering a New World Viking Village in L'anse aux Meadows, Canada
Stepping out of the visitor's center and into the wind on this misty day, with the smell of the sea all around, I felt as though not much had changed here since the Vikings landed in what was, to those Europeans, an unknown world. Even today there is very little development to be seen. The reconstructed Viking longhouse at this (the first) UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a dramatic opportunity to imagine how life was like here 1,000 years ago. A Viking longboat would not seem out of place among the craggy coastline and tiny islands that dot this remote corner of the Earth. It still feels primeval and open to discovery.

LaMarcus Aldridge trade rumors have died down a bit since last season, presumably because Aldridge is happier with the state of the Portland Trail Blazers now that they are back on track. There have still been whispers, but nothing too concerning. The Cavaliers would like him on their team, but, then again, so would everyone else. This is why I put precisely 0 stock in Aldridge trade rumors.
The way I see it, Aldridge has reached the point where he is widely coveted, but not off the theoretical table. He is a perennial all-star in his prime that could improve almost any roster. Here is where most of the rumors crop up because every team wants him now, but he is not so good as to be unconditionally unavailable like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or Chris Paul.
Most reports you see at this time of year about teams being "interested in" Aldridge are fluff. Could the interested party eventually strike a deal? Sure. But that is true of any team that is interested, which, again, is currently most of them. Rumors have been especially prevalent for the Cleveland Cavaliers because they have an immediate need and strong assets, but all it will likely ever be is talk.
#Blazers GM Neil Olshey on LaMarcus Aldridge: "Everybody, including LaMarcus knows, he's the No. 1 priority in the organization."
— Joe Freeman (@BlazerFreeman) May 16, 2014
Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey has made it clear that retaining Aldridge is Portland's priority number one. I am sure that he would still consider favorable proposals, but I doubt Cleveland will make any. If you are the Cavaliers, do you offer up the number one pick in a historically strong draft class for an expensive player under contract for just one more season? Probably not.
Of course, it is not that black and white, but you get the idea. At this point, Aldridge trade rumors are a sign that he has turned a corner more than anything else. NBA teams will always be interested in the league's top players, and now Aldridge is considered to be one of them by rival executives. Buzz may build as the draft approaches, but I am confident that Aldridge is staying put.

Over the past academic year, the five-syllable word has become the most publicized new disorder impacting college students.
A growing number of students, researchers, and health professionals consider it a dangerous phenomenon. Others dismiss it as a media-driven faux-trend. And still others contend it is nothing more than a fresh label stamped onto an activity that students have been carrying out for years.
The affliction, which leaves students hungry and at times hung over, involves "starving all day to drink at night."
As a new report in The Daily Pennsylvanian at the University of Pennsylvania further explained, it centers on students "bingeing or skipping meals in order to either compensate for alcohol calories consumed later at night, or to get drunk faster. . . . At its most severe, it is a combination of an eating disorder and alcohol dependency."
Drunkorexia surged into the spotlight most prominently last fall after an an eye-opening study by University of Missouri researchers revealed "one in six students said they restricted food in order to consume alcohol within the last year."
Why are these students allegedly engaging in such behavior?
The Calgary Herald confirmed, "They say they're aiming to get drunk faster, they want to save food money for booze, and they want to keep their weight down."
While their rationales are clearly defined, students told The Marquette Tribune that many undergrads are unaware of the related dangers.
One Marquette University freshman said an overview of related risks should be part of incoming students' mandatory alcohol education instruction, noting, "When students replace their calories with alcohol, they don't think about the consequences."
According to the Missouri study's lead researcher, the consequences involve "short- and long-term cognitive problems, including difficulty concentrating, studying, and making decisions."
Some other problems cited: "an elevated risk for violence, risky sexual behavior, alcohol poisoning, substance abuse, and chronic diseases later in life."
Significantly, in the short term, not everyone believes the hype surrounding drunkorexia. Some see it as symptomatic of a sensationalist press more than an actual student disease.
In the Daily Pennsylvanian, the director of an eating disorders program at the University of North Carolina said, "Drunkorexia is just a term. It's part of a parade of 'orexias' the media has come up with."
A separate response to the Pennsylvanian feature by Philadelphia Magazine health & fitness editor Emily Leaman also expressed doubt about the phenomenon's new 'It' status.
In a blog post headlined, "I Don't Buy This Whole 'Drunkorexia' Thing," Leaman wrote, "[T]his doesn't seem like the new, out-of-nowhere phenomenon people are making it out to be. Isn't it practically cliché at this point to talk about binge drinking on college campuses? Despite the fact that it's super unhealthy and, yes, even dangerous, drinking and partying have become a rite of passage for many college students. . . . To me, what we're really talking about here is what we've always talked about when it comes to these issues: college kids making poor decisions in the name of getting drunk– nothing more."
What do you think? Is drunkorexia simply a new name for a long-time rite of passage? Or is it a genuine trend increasingly playing out on college campuses?

Networking is about developing long-term relationships for mutual gain and creating a lasting impression with people so that they think of you positively when an opportunity arises.
Once learned, networking is a life skill which has many applications. Most commonly, people use networking to develop new business or find a new job. In the context of HR, networking has the following benefits:
Networking is synonymous with the term 'working a room' – however it is NOT about rapidly working your way through huge quantities of people, dishing out business cards in a desperate bid to make a 'sale'. If you go back to our definition – networking is about mutual gain and it is long term. It takes time to develop a two-way dialogue and truly understand the needs of others and so results do not happen overnight.

Valentine's Day – How it started
St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, includes remnants of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. Have you ever wondered about who Saint Valentine was, or how he started this romantic ritual? One legend tells us that Valentine was a priest who lived in Rome during the third century. Roman Emperor Claudius II had just outlawed marriage, because he believed that single men made better soldiers than those with families. Saint Valentine continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine killed. Continue reading

"I should have worn armbands, orange armbands. It would have been a much better look..." Savaged by the tabloids for daring to wear a lifejacket when he turned up by speedboat for his awkward, staged debut press conference on 14 October 2005 (the marines driving it wouldn't let him on board otherwise), it was soon clear that Daniel Craig was in for a tough ride en route to being accepted as 007 number six.
However, if anyone was going to be able to handle the press and interweb sneering over everything from his hair colour to his ability to drive, it was Craig. Coming across as the James Bond you'd most like to go to the pub with (funny, clever, self-deprecating, likely to buy a round without quibbling), he candidly admits that while it got on his wick, it ultimately just spurred him on to do a better job. Dropping the affable mask in favour of a steely blue stare (you'd think more than twice about spilling his pint), he admits, "It was good before. Now, I thought, let's make it really good."
And so it is. Bond 21 has enjoyed better reviews than any 007 flick in living memory, most of them centred on the bang-up job Craig does in the tuxedo (and swimsuit and Hawaiian shirt) of the world's least-secret secret agent. And every single glowing, humble-pie chewing write-up was well-and-truly deserved. Fans loved the slow-drip feed of the familiar 007 elements (first: licence to kill, then Aston Martin, then tux, then vodka martini, then finally, deliriously, the theme) while everyone else revelled in the action sequences, the adroit handling of the love story (and it is a love story between Bond and Eva Green's Vesper) and Craig's tough, multi-layered and oddly tragic hero. When the worst most people could say about the film was that the defibrillator scene was really very silly and there was just a smidgeon too much lovey-dovey padding between the Casino and the final act in Venice, you can chalk this one up as a success.
But you won't get much of that critical reaction here. While the second disc boasts two half-hour docs on the making of the film, both were made before the movie opened last November. Both have also already seen the light of day on ITV, as has the more general hour-long documentary about Bond girls, in which Maryam D'Abo tours the world chatting to the plastic surgery parade that is 007's back catalogue of ageing leading ladies. That, and the absence of any commentary, does leave you feeling that there's a lot more to come extras-wise; probably a Casino Royale: Ultimate Edition to tie in with the top-notch DVD releases that the other 20 movies have had. Which might make you a little reluctant to fork out for this one now.
Even so, you do get a lot of good stuff – both the Casino Royale-specific docs clearly had great access to cast and crew. The godawful CG iceberg wave sequence from Die Another Day aside, the Bond films pride themselves on actually doing stunts and the James Bond For Real doc is a thrilling look at how. "People still like to see someone taking a risk... rather than shot against blue screen, cheated or digitally put in," shrugs effects supervisor Chris Corbould as the stunt team prepare to flip an Aston Martin a world-record seven times at high speed. And you've barely stopped wincing before Craig's stunt double is dangling from a wire atop a 200ft crane... Check out Lounge's day out with free-running baddie Sébastien Foucan (right) to see how we too put our lives on the edge. Sort of.
Not that Craig didn't do his fair share of action stuff. "We started out with a sequence where I was basically kicking the shit out of people for a week," he grins on the Becoming Bond doc, with clear pleasure. He's less enthusiastic about his swimsuited walk out of the ocean though. Almost blushing, he shakes his head, laughing "What was I thinking? It's just a tiny moment in the movie. Hopefully not a tiny moment! I take that back..."
The big question remaining – left unanswered on this disc – is whether Craig and the Broccoli family can keep up this momentum and keep taking risks, or whether the next movies will be a case of diminishing returns like the Brosnan era proved to be. Team Bond have certainly earned the benefit of the doubt.
"When I became an actor I never fantasised about playing James Bond," Craig confesses at the beginning of the extras. "As a kid, yeah, but that was being James Bond. That was something else. That was fantasy." Whatever he thinks, he's well on his way to being James Bond for the next generation of kids. And most adults.

Former UNH defenseman Blake Kessel, younger brother of Toronto's Phil Kessel, signed a 2-year entry level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.
Kessel, who left the University of New Hampshire after his junior season with the Wildcats, was also a New York Islanders sixth round draft pick back in 2007. After UNH was ousted from the NCAA Regional in March, the 6'2, 210-lb defenseman was scheduled to return for his senior year. However, the announcement was made at the end of May that he was going to forego his final year to play professionally.
Up until this point, there had been no word or updates of any contracts with any team.
Kessel will hope to join former UNH teammate and current Flyer-standout James van Riemsdyk on the ice this season, after JVR signed a 6-year contract extension with Philadelphia. They played one year together at UNH before van Riemsdyk left after his sophomore year. With Kessel's participation in Flyers rookie camp, van Riesmdyk was excited to hear the news Kessel's signing.
"It's going to be cool," van Riemsdyk said. "He brings a lot to the table and I'm really happy for him."
When asked what he thinks caught Philadelphia's eye, JVR mentioned his hockey sense on the ice and his stick skills on defense.
Kessel ended his career at UNH with 78 points on 21 goals and 57 assists in 114 games played. He also ranked 18th in the nation for defensemen scoring with 0.69 points per game and was named a 2011 Walter Brown Award semifinalist.

Citing that they "disagree with Ron Paul on issues of foreign policy", the Republican Jewish Coalition Candidates Forum has excluded Ron Paul from their debate in Washington, DC on October 16. This according to Jim Perry, President of "Jews for Ron Paul". Of course the greater majority of Jews are opposed to Ron Paul receiving any attention from the public thus the Jewish media has not reported on many of his successful showings in Straw polls across the nation.
And why does the RJC disagree with Ron Paul on issues of foreign policy? Ron Paul simply stands for American interests in the formation of foreign policy in the Middle East and elsewhere and speaks the truth regarding the root cause of terrorism, the U.S. support of Israel and the hatred among the Muslim people which that support has brought toward America. Ron Paul is vocal in his belief that fighting wars in the Middle East will not do anything to stop terrorism and that a new foreign policy in the Middle East, one that is not nearly as pro-Israel as it is today, will be the only way to defeat terrorism.
Ron Paul can be classified as a patriot. What can be said about the candidates that have been invited to participate? Certainly the Jewish group holding this debate do not see any change in America's pro-Israel policy should Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Fred Thompson, or Mike Huckabee be elected president, as these candidates who were invited must not disagree with the RJC's pro-Zionist views regarding America's support of Israel or they would have been excluded, as Ron Paul was. Some, including us here at natallnews, would consider the candidates pandering to these pro-Israel Jews as traitors.

As training camp progresses, NHL teams have begun trimming their rosters and moving closer to finalizing their opening night lineups. Often times there will be several dark horse candidates that comes out of nowhere to contend for roster spots throughout the league. This year, one such kid is Carolina Hurricanes prospect Justin Faulk.
A defenseman from St. Paul, Minnesota, Faulk was selected by the 'Canes in the second round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and is progressing through Carolina's system faster than anyone anticipated. Known as an intelligent and coachable player, the 6-foot-tall blueliner possesses a rare combination of discipline and physicality that has scouts and fans alike taking notice. Not often does a prospect come around that is known for his mean streak and ability to stay out of the penalty box, but that's exactly what the Hurricanes have found in Faulk.
After several years in the U.S. Developmental Program, Faulk spent one year in college, enrolling at University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2010. As a freshman, he led all UMD defensemen in assists (8), goals (25), and points (33) en route to an NCAA National Championship. After his impressive stint in college, Faulk joined the Charlotte Checkers–the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate–for their playoff run last season.
While he has above-average scoring ability, Faulk focuses on the defensive aspect of the game, a breath of fresh air for an organization that hasn't exactly done a great job producing stay-at-home defensemen. While he failed to register a single point this year in Traverse City, NHL.com listed Faulk as one of the top nine performers of the tournament. For a team that finished dead-last in the NHL in shots allowed, having a prospect with such a strong defensive upside waiting in the wings is quite encouraging.
The former U-18 World Junior Championship gold medalist may only have one season of college hockey and 13 AHL games under his belt, but don't be surprised if he makes it to the big club this season. He followed up his Traverse City performance with a strong start to training camp and has continued to display characteristics of an NHL-ready player. While Faulk has garnered quite a bit of attention from the media and the fans, his biggest supporter might be general manager Jim Rutherford.
"I would say he has an outside chance of making the Hurricanes this year," Rutherford said to NHL.com last week. "He sees the ice and moves the puck and can skate and is really built. He's in good shape. Ideally, we'll give him more development time in Charlotte, but we're keeping an open mind in camp with this guy."
Glen Wesley–a former Hurricane and current director of development for defensemen in Carolina–shares Rutherford's sentiments on Faulk.
"When we got him out of Minnesota-Duluth after they won the national championship, he came into Charlotte and played really well," he told NHL.com. "I feel right now he can be a guy to come into camp and surprise a lot of people. He's so far ahead of where we thought he'd be at this point and, let's face it, we've seen younger guys come into this organization and surprise too."
While Carolina has a bit of a log jam at defense, they will find a way to work Faulk into the lineup if he earns it. The Hurricanes had one of the worst defenses in the league last year, and they would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't try to shake things up a bit. Like Wesley said, younger kids have made big contributions to the 'Canes in the past (see: Skinner, Jeff). Faulk has made the most of his opportunity thus far, so don't be shocked if he works his way up to the NHL in the next few weeks.

Dr. Robert Dimeff, who directs primary care sports medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said those wanting to lose belly fat to look more attractive or to be healthier should start with the obvious approached.
"To lose a beer belly you have to stop drinking beer, eat less food and exercise more," Dimeff said in a statement. "It's where most men store their fat, especially as they age."
Abdominal- and back-targeting exercises such as trunk rotations and roman curls using kettlebells or medicine balls are effective, Dimeff advised.
"The right balance of trunk exercise is important," Dimeff said. "Most of the abdominal muscles start in the back and wrap around to the front, and so you have to do a variety of strengthening exercises."

As a hunter I will tell you that Death Grip is a certain "hunter killer".
In an arena setting, there is no way a hunter can NOT be completely taken out of the game in the first second of an Arena match with a spell that pulls them immediately into melee range of all of their opponents where the hunter is rendered helpless.
The fact that this is a base line ability that every Death Knight has in their spellbook makes it even more worrisome. It'd be as if all the rogues in arena had Shadowstep. Oh wait, they kinda do, don't they? :)
Am I worried? Hell, yes. If hunters think they had it bad in Seasons 1 through 4, wait until Season 5.

Naming Conventions in Application Development
Why use naming conventions? The use of standardized names for the elements of a project (or the naming conventions) allows all persons involved in the project to share the same language. It makes the code easier to understand for everybody, as it follows known rules, as well as making the application development more coherent.

I don't know why the second anniversary of his death has me so spooked. I can't imagine there are many surprises left for me when it comes to grief, though everything about grief up to this point has shocked me. I was shocked that I even felt grief — he'd been sick for so long, and I'd been looking forward to an ending for his pain that it never occurred to me that I would feel more than relief at his death. I was shocked by the severity of my grief and its global nature, affecting as it does, body, mind, emotions, equilibrium. I was shocked by the recurring violent upsurges of grief that made it seem as if he'd left the earth that very moment instead of months previously. I was shocked by how long grief…

just perfect
I bought these in white and they are just great. real light weight, great for summer and spring. true to size. I wear a 6 and they fit perfect ,I have slim legs and they fit real nice and tight all the way to the ankle , I hate loose legs. I just reorder too more colors. I will tell you that they are about 3 inches shorter than on the model but I like that too, not quite capri's but shorter than the ankle so they look great with a little heel

Pointy Toe Pump by Boston Design Studio™: In great colors and a sleek shape, this heel is an essential for wear with anything from career pants to a rockin' pair of jeans.
Rating: 1.00 out of 1 votes cast
The colors of these pumps are awesome. I ordered the pink, but when I wore them one time, they buckled, the heel was coming unglued. Poorly made. I thought this was a defective shoe. So I sent them back and ordered another pair. Received those and the same thing happened after one time of wear. I also ordered the orange pair and didn't even bother to open the box. I would NOT recommend these pumps.

MLive Detroit "Detroit Lions Mikel Leshoure grants Boys and Girls Club holiday wishes" online story and gallery
Mikel Leshoure, the running back who wears No. 25 for the Detroit Lions, visited the NFL/YET- Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan at the Dick and Sandy Dutch Campus on Dec. 19.
Leshoure presented the kids with dozens of gifts for the club from Kmart, including a keyboard, guitar, digital drum set, sports equipment, popular board games like Apples to Apples and Words with Friends, new music speakers and, of course, Lion's memorabilia.
Leshoure also brought with him the best gift of all, Santa. The appearance of the jolly man in red sent the group of over 100 kids screaming and jumping. The kids then each got to pose with Leshoure and Santa, and each went home with a signed copy of their photo.
"Don't think you can't accomplish your dreams from where you're at," said Leshoure as he addressed the raised hands of the crowd of kids. The running back played football for the University of Illinois, where he was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the 2011 NFL Draft. "I grew up attending the Boys and Girls Club and I know how it can play a big role in kids' lives. It was like a second home for me."
In addition to granting the club's Christmas wishes, Leshoure provided a red velvet pancake breakfast catered by Hudson Cafe and macaroni and cheese from Fishbone's Greektown.
Leshoure also took part in a little basketball with Santa after the gift-giving festivities. He cleanly made his first 3-pointer attempt, while Santa stood by video-recording it on his iPhone.

Invisible Army of Defaulters: Communique #1
Via Understory:
Bank of America ATMs In San Francisco Turned Into Truth MachinesRAN activists took to the streets of San Francisco last night and turned every Bank of America ATM in the city into an Automated Truth Machine.
The activists used special non-adhesive stickers designed to look exactly like BoA's ATM interface. But instead of checking and savings accounts, these new menus offered a list of everything BoA customers' money is being used for, including investment in coal-fired power plants, foreclosure on Americans' homes, bankrolling of climate change, and paying for fat executive bonuses.
Go here to see a handy map showing all 85 ATMs we made a little more truthful last night.
The stickers also encourage BoA customers to "Stop doing business with Bank of America until they start behaving responsibly" and have the URL to this here blog (BankruptingAmerica.tumblr.com), which RAN launched along with New Bottom Line.
We're using Bankrupting America to track all the ways BoA is bankrupting America, hence the name. We've received so many submissions it's clear to us that this website was badly needed. There are lots of grievances to be aired with regard to how Bank of America is conducting its business these days, as it turns out. (Not that that's terribly surprising.)
Feel free to submit if you're so inclined.
Police arrested at least 16 people, including journalist Chris Hedges and performance artist Reverend Billy Talen, during a rally Thursday outside the headquarters of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in lower Manhattan.
The rally was held after a mock trial at the nearby Occupy Wall Street encampment, in which Goldman's alleged misdeeds were weighed in a "people's hearing." The event, led by author and activist Cornell West, was broadcast live on a radio station and drew hundreds of protesters and spectators, many of whom then marched down Trinity Place towards Goldman's skyscraper.
"The banking system has been shot through with greed," said West, a professor at Princeton University. He marched arm in arm with several protesters, whom he referred to as his "brothers and sisters." Some protesters held signs that read "Out of Your Ivory Tower" and "Don't Feed the Bull."
Reverend Billy, dressed in his signature white suit, called the Occupy movement "real, physical, actual hope," and he blamed President Barack Obama for "drain[ing] all meaning from the word 'hope.'" Talen added: "He's no less corrupt than George Bush. He's been unable to regulate these people," referring to financial institutions.
At the entrance to Goldman's headquarters on West Street, protesters read their verdict aloud: "Guilty of felony fraud, violating security laws, perjury before a Senate commission and the theft of $78 billion in taxpayer money."
Several people then sat down in front with the building with their arms linked. As police handcuffed each person one at a time, some used nonviolent resistance tactics such curling up on the ground. The final protester to be arrested made her body limp and was carried away by several police officers.

The Two Towers in Russian. Somehow "Sauron" got translated as "Squid-legged-eyeball." The bowlegged guy with the antennae wielding the spear and sword is one of the more perplexing things I've ever seen on the cover of a book. And Tolkien looks like a hardboiled detective from the fifties firing up a cigarette with his Zippo lighter. If somebody had given me this book when I was a kid I would have used it prop up my tippy desk.

...I use media the way that other people use drugs.Holy hell - this. This so much, I get in trouble for other things I should have done during that time. This so much, it turns into work, eat-during-media-consumption, sleep.
I was so impressed to enter the room and see Borges, blind and waiting for us with his hands on a cane. I remember that we arrived late and that he kindly told us not to worry. For a man his age, time didn't matter anymore… Borges, who had so intensely loved book, and for whom literature was alive, advised us not to read any book we didn't enjoy. He told us that morning if we didn't like a book, it was better to leave it for some other time. Reading it by force did no good to the book, the other, or ourselves…It's really, truly okay to put down the book, especially if it doesn't bring you comfort.
"The task of art is to transform what is continuously happening to us, to transform all these things into symbols, into music, into something which can last in man's memory…
Besides, the life of a writer, is a lonely one. You think you are alone, and as the years go by, if the stars are on your side, you may discover that you are at the center of a vast circle of invisible friends whom you will never get to know but who love you. And that is an immense reward."

Bay City News Service
The storm that struck Thursday night triggered more than 700 lightning strikes around the Bay Area and set new records for rainfall.
Thousands around the Bay lost power, but Castro Valley got off relatively easy with three outages affecting fewer than 500 homes around Proctor Road.
The National Weather Service recorded 750 lightning strikes overnight in the area extending from the North Bay to Monterey County, an unusually high number for one storm, according to meteorologist Chris Stumpf. That total includes strikes that occurred off the coast.
Patch blogger Thomas Coates caught some of the flashes in a five minute video posted on YouTube. (It does require some patience to watch).
Several areas saw new records set for rainfall on Thursday, breaking previous records for this date set in 2003, Stumpf said.
Downtown San Francisco received 1.24 inches of rain on Thursday, breaking the previous record for April 12 of 0.92 inches. Downtown Oakland got 1.26 inches, well above the previous record of 0.59 inches. Oakland International Airport got 1.2 inches, shattering the previous record of 0.77 inches.
The storm helped increase rainfall for what has generally been a dry year, but totals still remain well below average for this time of year, Stumpf said.
"I know a lot of places are sitting around 60 percent of normal for this time of year, but we're still nowhere near where we were last year," Stumpf said. "Last year we were either at or above 100 percent for many places."
The worst of the storm has passed, but some light showers could still occur today.
Sunny skies are forecast for most of the weekend.

Slipping as I look for a new job
Please, Pray Warriors lift me up. I find myself slipping as I continue to look for a job (going on for 2 years). Pray for the Lord's Favor - and that one of the applications that I have out is the one that he has selected for me. I need an opportunity that will allow me to thrive not just survive!

NEW YORK (AP) — The two Democratic New York City public advocate candidates have squared off in a final debate a week ahead of a runoff.
City Councilwoman Letitia (leh-TIH'-shuh) James and state Sen. Daniel Squadron debated Tuesday night in Manhattan. They touted their independence and ability to stand up to City Hall. They also attacked each other over their respective records.
The public advocate works to make sure residents are best served by city government. The runoff is Oct. 1. Turnout is expected to be low.
The winner of the runoff will go on to the Nov. 5 general election.
There is no Republican candidate for the office.

Top 8: Ajay Devgn's Comic AvatarsWith his yet another not-so-serious act all set to amaze and amuse us, here's checking out other films that have the tough man Ajay Devgn tickling our crazy bones...
By Anu Chanchal, IndiaTimes | November 11, 2012, 6:00 am IST
1 Golmaal Returns (2008)
Have zero brains? If yes, then this 'giggle-thon' is certainly for you. Undoubtedly not one the greatest comedy-acts by Devgn, this film portrays the actor in seemingly repeated and dreary slapstick-moments. He still manages to reach your funny bones, but fails to leave an impact at the same time.

Everytime I'm meant to be acting sensible you drift into my head and turn me into a crumblin' fool
People are funny.
I write one silly little thing and everyone goes bonkers with comments, thoughts and ideas of how to make this silly thing even sillier.
Yet… sadly, if I bring up something of substance, suddenly no one has anything to say. Where did the comments go? Where is the banter? No more ideas?
People are thinkers.
I refuse to believe that not everyone has their own original thoughts. Sure, there are those uneducated about their beliefs, ones who follow the masses simply not to feel out of place. But everyone has a thought. As stupid as it may seem, we are all thinkers… am I right?
So why do people shut down and shut up when it comes to talking about something serious? Something that means something. Why the sudden fear of having an individualistic opinion, thought or idea?
I don't know, I'm just boggled.

Farewell Seth!
This weekend we bid a farewell to our friend and Scenery member, Seth. On mid-day Saturday, he took a U-Haul and drove seven hundred miles to Berkeley, California to live out his dream of designing jewelry under his own brand with the two people he loves the most.
I was always in awe of how effortless Seth makes things look, be it music, jewelry, painting or drinking a giant raspberry flavored beer. He is always encouraging, eternally positive and generous nearly to a fault.
I'm glad we live in the future and seven hundred miles isn't what it used to be. I even hope we can all still collaborate on music no matter where our lives lead us.
What does this mean for Scenery? I don't know, and frankly, who cares. Scenery was never really a band, a music group or an art project. Honestly, it is just an excuse for a group of friends to work together on something they love doing. The four of us will be making music in some shape or form for the rest of our lives. I'm thrilled to think about what the future holds.

Whenever I pick up a guitar now, it angers me. It's still fun. It's still a helpful tool to let out any emotional influence. But it angers me. Sometimes I resent music. I regret the paths it's taken me down. I regret the things in life that I can never have back. All the events I've missed. All the holidays with family. Some with family that aren't here with me anymore. Not being home when my close cousin had her beautiful son. How broken my heart felt when she gave him the middle name Nicholas. How I wasn't there. When my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer - I was living on a floor under a staircase, 2,330 miles away from home with an erratic individual that didn't make my situation any better. Trying to fly home back & forth so I could see her, take her to chemotherapy, and be there for her surgeries. I'd cry on the phone to her that I just wanted to be home. But the living saint she is, she told me to keep pursuing my dreams. And thank god she beat cancer. Strongest human being I've met in my life. Tears falling down my face as I think about it now.
Music kept me away.
And for what? I've had the opportunity to travel the world, meet amazing individuals who listened to my music, & make some incredible friends along the way, who I consider blood. THAT I am truly thankful for. I could never say a bad thing about that. That's the positive. And that's EXACTLY what kept me going.
But the selfish side of me. The side of me that sometimes thinks, "What would've happened if I never picked up a guitar?"
Would I have done better in school? Would I have stayed away from the miscreants of society? Would I have gone to college? Would I be married with 20 kids by now? Would I have been a better son to my amazing parents? Would I have been a better friend to all my family & friends at home?
I know one thing. I wouldn't take it back. I just wonder sometimes. And I just don't want to be resentful. But sometimes I am.
Sometimes I wish I would've stuck up for myself a bit more. Not get bullied around & taken advantage of. I'm not that tough. I love people too much. Sometimes I let people walk all over me.
I'm no saint though. I've hurt people. I've done dumb shit. I'm human. Whatever that excuse means.
But I love life. Most people know me as one of the most positive, optimistic motherfuckers out there. And I am. Life is too short. Plain & simple. But it doesn't mean I don't question myself.
I just don't want to be angry when I pick up my guitar anymore.

Teacher to be Arraigned in Sandra Cantu Murder on Tuesday
AOL: Police and residents here said they were shocked when the suspect in the killing of a young girl turned out to be a woman, the mother of the slain girl's best friend.
Melissa Huckaby, a 28-year-old Sunday School teacher, was on suicide watch Saturday at the San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of kidnapping and killing 8-year-old Sandra Cantu. The girl's body was found in one of Huckaby's suitcases in an irrigation pond nearly a week ago, police said.
"This was an anomaly in the murder of a child," police Sgt. Tony Sheneman said at a news conference Saturday. "Finding out that it is a woman who is responsible for Sandra's kidnapping and murder, and then finding out it is a member of the community is another blow."
FBI statistics show women are involved in just 7 percent of murders of any sort. Solo killings of children by women are even more unusual.
"A review of data from the 2007 Uniform Crime Report confirms that the arrest of Melissa Huckaby in the Sandra Cantu murder investigation is uncommon," said FBI spokesman Steve Dupre in Sacramento.
Sandra disappeared on March 27 and hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officials turned out to search for her. Pictures of the girl with dark brown eyes and light brown hair were posted all over Tracy, a city of 78,000 people about 60 miles east of San Francisco. Police said they received 1,500 tips in the hunt for Sandra and her killer.
"It's very unusual for women to be involved in an abduction and murder of a child," said Candice DeLong, a retired FBI profiler based in San Francisco. "Sometimes we see this when the woman is working with a male partner. It does not appear to be the case this time. But this was not a sexually motivated crime."
Huckaby attended the second of several vigils for the slain girl, Sheneman said.
On April 6, farmworkers draining an irrigation pond found the suitcase containing the child's body.
Sheneman said investigators have no motive for the slaying, which drew national attention. Police declined to say where or how the girl was allegedly killed.
Inconsistencies in Huckaby's story led to her arrest, Sheneman said.
There are no other suspects and no other arrests are expected, he said.
Huckaby is a granddaughter of Pastor Clifford Lawless, whose Clover Road Baptist Church was the subject of a police search. Huckaby taught Sunday school at the church and lived with Lawless in the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park that also was Sandra's home.
Huckaby's uncle, John Hughes Jr. of Whittier, said his niece was from a good home, but had hit a rough patch in her life and moved in with her grandparents in Tracy to get past her troubles.
"They opened their home up to her to try to get her life back on track. I think a lot of families have problems like that," Hughes said.
Huckaby was scheduled to appear in court on April 17 to check in with a county mental health program as part of a three-year probation sentence for a petty theft charge to which she pleaded no contest.
She was arrested about five hours after she drove herself to the local police station at the request of officers. She is being held without bail for an arraignment Tuesday.
"She was calm, cool and collected, then she became very emotional," Sheneman said.
The slain girl's family was as puzzled as police.
"Why?" wondered her uncle, Joe Chavez, shaking his head. He said Huckaby should face the death penalty if convicted.
It was not immediately clear if Huckaby had hired an attorney.
Police said autopsy results are not yet available, and they declined to say whether
investigators believe the slaying was accidental or deliberate.
She had worked as a checker at a Food for Less grocery store in a strip mall just east of the mobile park for nearly four years, until she was fired sometime in 2004, said Matt Duncan, an assistant manager at the store now known as FoodMaxx.
"I wouldn't have anything bad to say about her, until now," said Duncan, who has worked at the store off-and-on for about 10 years. "I would've never suspected her to do something like this."
How truly sad for little Sandra's family and for the murderer's family. I wonder what would drive this woman to do this to that beautiful little baby. I am glad they found her though. I hope she gets the death penalty.
What the hell?
Why are they spending money to keep this monster on suicide watch? Leave her alone and let her do it!
I have seen so much in the news lately about child abuse, abduction, and murder of so many children. After seeing this on the news it has made me realize that I do believe in the death penalty. Why should murders of such defenseless children have the right to live.
This could be as simple as an accidental backing over the child. The police claim they know where the child died. That will tell us a lot. How about prayer for both families and all the police and volunteers who have prayed and searched for the child. If the press tries something positive instead of trying for the most lurid possible, maybe we can make some progress here. Facts, please.
The world wants to know why????
Why would a woman kill anothers child?
Where was her child??
Times are changing folks.After Casey Anthony and Andrea Yates,I am not at all surprised that a woman (or to keep feminists happy,womyn) had the power to kill a child.In the past this type of news was swept under the rug and quickly forgotten.Casey did us the favor of bring the reality to the spotlight.
We are going to have to rethink of preconceptions of people due to their gender and race and begin to see us for what we are INDIVIDUALS.
As a "stupid" white male with depression at 27,I have yet to do anything as immature as this woman (fems. womyn), Casey Marie Anthony or Andrea Yates.
wow!! its too sad to see what this world is comming to..poor innocent child..what could go through someones head to make them want to hurt/kill a child that sickens me to think of how much fear she went through..my prayers are with the family and little sandra..
Hurting a child is the most UNFORGIVABLE and COWARDLY thing anyone can do! HOW do go from being a seemingly normal parent, to being a COLD -BLOODED KILLER?! It seems we see and hear about murdered children daily. I find myself praying for the innocent victims of a world gone mad!!!!!
she wasn't a sunday school teacher, that is another one of her lies. Look on blinkoncrime.com, they have a ton of info on her there. Also, her myspace is being investigated by the FBI, her mysapce is "cinderella888" even though it should be cinderella666. she is listed under Melissa Lawless.
you know what WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE NOW A DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seriously what would drive her to, not only to kill a little girl but her little's best firend :(
I would also like to point out that this woman is not a teacher.
Absolutely NOT a teacher This was an unemployed single mom. Call it like it is - nothing wrong with it but do not call her a teacher.

A Somers Point man was arrested today for allegedly shooting four species of hawks in his neighborhood, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
68-year-old Robert Losasso was arrested Friday by special agents of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Law Enforcement, and charged by complaint with six counts of violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Losasso is scheduled to appear this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo in Newark federal court.
According to the complaint, Losasso fatally shot, and attempted to fatally shoot, with a .22 caliber rifle and a .17 caliber pellet gun, both equipped with scopes, red-tailed hawks, sharp-shinned hawks, red-shouldered hawks, and Cooper's hawks.
These species are among the tens of thousands of birds of prey that migrate every year from Canada along the Atlantic Flyway through New Jersey.
Neighbors reported to law enforcement that over a period of more than two and a half years they had observed more than 40 dead or injured birds of prey in or around their yards and had sustained what appeared to be bullet holes and pellet marks to their homes.
From December 2012 through April 2013, Losasso allegedly killed, or attempted to kill, three red-tailed hawks, one sharp-shinned hawk, one red-shouldered hawk, and one Cooper's hawk, all of which are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

On a night with three walk-off wins, we start with the Yankees-Red Sox. Why? One, I like pageviews, but two, I must point out that the strange Yankee voodoo has again resurfaced, and again new acquisitions suddenly look like world beaters.
N.Y. Yankees 10, Boston 3 Alfonso Soriano is the hottest player in baseball right now. He went 3-for-4 with a homer and 4 RBIs. Soriano has 18 RBIs in his last four games, which ties an MLB record. Mark Reynolds also hit a homer for the Yankees in his first game in pinstripes. Seriously, how does this keep happening?
Kansas City 2, Detroit 1 (Game 1) Danny Duffy (6 IP, 1 H, 0 R) outdueled Justin Verlander (8 IP, 2 ER). That's huge for Duffy, who was part of the Royals prospect armada a few years back, but has been recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Kansas City 3, Detroit 0 (Game 2) James Shields showed why he's known as Big Game James with 7 shutout innings, albeit with 4 walks and just 1 strikeout. With the doubleheader sweep, the Royals are 6.5 back of the Tigers in the Central, and 5 back in the Wild Card. Hope is still alive in Kansas City.
L.A. Dodgers 4, Philadelphia 0 Ryne Sandberg's first game as Phillies manager ends in a familiar result for the team. It's Philly's 9th straight loss to the Dodgers. Zach Greinke threw 7 1/3 scoreless innings.
Tampa Bay 5, Toronto 4 Jose Lobaton hit it in just the right spot for the rare walk-off triple.
Oakland 3, Cleveland 2 The Indians has two men on in the 9th, but this liner turned into the game ending double play. Oakland's lead for the second wild card is 4 games.
Atlanta 3, Washington 2 (10 innings) The Nationals are long dead, but it's fun to see the Braves continually beating the dead horse. Here's Justin Upton with a walk-off homer in the 10th.
Also, here's Paul Janish with maybe the night's top defensive play.
Pittsburgh 6, Arizona 2 The RBIs for Pittsburgh: Alvarez (2), Walker, McCutchen, Tabata (2 on a HR). Gerrit Cole had a quality start, and Gomez and Melancon didn't give up a baserunner in 3 innings of relief work. That's a textbook win for the Pirates both now and in the years to come.
Chicago Cubs 7, St. Louis 0 Jake Arrieta threw 7 shutout innings and struck out 7. Having seen him fail repeatedly in Baltimore, all I can say is how the hell did that happen?
Milwaukee 7, Cincinnati 6 You wouldn't expect Aroldis Chapman vs. Jonathan Lucroy to end in a Lucroy walk-off homer, but here we are.
Seattle 3, Texas 1 Kyle Seager hit a 2 run homer in the 8th to put Seattle ahead, and Justin Smoak provided insurance in the 9th with a solo shot. The bullpen didn't fail for once.
Colorado 6, Baltimore 3 Wei-Yin Chen struggles in the 7th, so naturally he was left in the game to give up to go-ahead home run to Wilin Rosario. Then K-Rod came in, gave up a homer, and hurt his groin. Then Jim Johnson came in and gave up a home run. That's 4 straight losses for the Birds, and I feel sick to my stomach.
San Francisco 14, Miami 10 The box score tells you all you really need to know about this one.
Houston 8, L.A. Angels 2 Mike Trout had a nice catch. That's about all that went right for the Angels.
Chicago White Sox 5, Minnesota 2 Two runs in the 2nd and 3rd were plenty for the White Sox.
N.Y. Mets 5, San Diego 2 Jonathon Niese gave up just one run and struck out 9 in 6 innings. Ian Kennedy didn't get out of the 5th and gave up homers to Marlon Byrd, Ike Davis, and Daniel Murphy. Not quite what the Padres were looking for.

In this video let's go over how to map an image texture to an object. So start out with a square here and as you can see we have a basic gray boring material. If we expand on the texture side, we see that there is a default anti-texture already mapped according to original coordinates to color. What we are going to do is change that and map that to an object but first we need to add that object in 3D space. Let's go ahead and position our cursor to be in front of the box and press Space > Add > Empty and let's change the name of that Empty to Decal by typing in Decal here in the Object field.
That renames that empty object to the Decal. So, selecting the box again now, we can map our texture to that object by clicking Object and entering the name of the object in the Object field, which in this case is Decal. If whatever you typed in, the field is now red or blank, it means you either typed in the name wrong or typed in the name of an object that doesn't exist. So check your capitalization, check your spelling and like that if Blender ever like refuses to take your entry, it's probably just some minor misunderstanding like that.
Now, let's go ahead and assign our texture by loading in the image. So if we come over here to the Texture buttons. We have our Texture channel but Blender doesn't know what kind of texture you want to pick. So let's go ahead and pick image. What we are going to do is load up an image of my daughter from the library that is a transparent image and has an alpha channel. So if you click Load over here, a panel pops up that allows you to pick the image. So let's go ahead and select the image from the library.
So what we want to do is we would navigate up one directory, then click on Library > Images > People > Rebe > balloon premul.png. I have been talking about alpha channels and like that and the PNG format supports the alpha channel. What rolls in over here, then gives you a little preview of just her with her favorite balloon. By default an image can be a still, a movie or a sequence of images. In this case, it's just a still image. That's 640x480. We are going to use the Alpha channel of this image and we are going to extend the colors of the image outward instead of doing the normal repeat.
That takes all of these border pixels and instead of repeating the image and tiling it across the surface, it only uses it once. So now that we've set up that, we can also show the image with Alpha preview, which shows a checkered background where the image is transparent. So now when we comeback over here, let's go ahead and remap this image to the color and now when we do a render, we see not just the front of it but also now the picture of her over here. If we roll ahead and move this object, like slide it over to the other side of the cube, that Decal follows that Empty and it's mapped and then shown on the surface wherever that empty happens to be.
If we raise it up, that stretches it off the center and tries to map the image as a Decal onto the surface of that cube and that's how you do a Decal. You can scale the empty and/or scale the image using the size controls here in the Material Settings. Go ahead and change that to a square. If we change the size, it changes the size of the image or we can also in this case, scale the empty down and that scales the image down as well.
We can also rotate the Empty. By rotating it, we are rotating the image and how it's mapped onto the surface. Now, if you get to moving this object around, the Empty is not going to follow. So we want to use parenting here. In this case, we want to click the Empty and then Shift-click the cube and then press Ctrl key to parent the Empty to the object, so that no matter where we move this object around, the Decal stays in the same relative place.
That's how you map an image as a Decal to a surface of another object.

Good product

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I use these for cleaning and painting.They are good for both. I painted the drop down ramp on my trailer which is made of expanded steel mesh. Easy to paint with this kind of brush.No complaints.
Great for water-based solvents only!
By Javi
from West San Fernando Valley
These brushes are perfect for water-based solvents and hold up very well. But don't use them with mineral spirits. I have a set that I keep in my solvent tank filled with mineral spirits, and in a few days the bristles curled up and rendered the brush useless. Just a heads up.

OK, so it's been 3.5 years since we voted B. Obama into office. Should we get off the couch and work to re-elect him on his own merits? Has progress been made? Seriously.
1. Passed Health Care Reform. It's not perfect, but it's more than has been accomplished since the New Deal. 32 million Americans covered that weren't before. Pre-existing conditions? Gone. You can't be denied health-care anymore. This is just huge.
2. Repaired the Economy from Worst Recession in History. It took balls to pass and sign the $787 billion Stimulus package. As soon as that dough go into the economy, unemployment went down. Now we're creating more private sector jobs than are being lost (not public sector, because we're reigning in that spending) for the last 23 months.
3. Passed Wall Street Reform: Implemented the Consumer Protection Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform. Compared to the 8 previous years, Wall Street is being reigned in rather than let loose. Limits banks ability to trade for profit using customer dough; tightened capital requirements; implemented Bank stress tests. Cracked down on abusive lending practices.
4. Ended the War in Iraq. Yeah. That's pretty fucking big. Cleaned up that unbelievable mess. Ordered all U.S. military forces out of the country. Last troops left on December 18, 2011.
5. Is Ending the War in Afghanistan. From a peak of 101,000 troops in June 2011, U.S. forces are now down to 91,000, with 23,000 slated to leave by the end of summer 2012. According to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, the combat mission there will be over by next year.
6. Got Osama bin laden: Uh, yeah. In 2011, ordered special forces raid of secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which the terrorist leader was killed and a trove of al-Qaeda documents was discovered.
7. Saved the U.S. Auto Industry. In 2009, injected $62 billion in federal money (on top of $13.4 billion in loans from the Bush administration) into ailing GM and Chrysler in return for equity stakes and agreements for massive restructuring. Since bottoming out in 2009, the auto industry has added more than 100,000 jobs. In 2011, the Big Three automakers all gained market share for the first time in two decades. The government expects to lose $16 billion of its investment, less if the price of the GM stock it still owns increases.
8. Recapitalized Banks. In the midst of financial crisis, approved controversial Treasury Department plan to lure private capital into the country's largest banks via "stress tests" of their balance sheets and a public-private fund to buy their "toxic" assets. Got banks back on their feet at essentially zero cost to the government.
9. Repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Cleaned up this mess from Clinton. Gays are now welcome in the US Military.
10. Toppled Moammar Gaddafi: Uh, yeah. Even Reagan tried and couldn't do this. No American lives were lost in all the combat mission that were flown and covert aid that was supplied to the rebels.
11. Told Mubarak to Go and Mubarak is Gone. On February 1, 2011, publicly called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to accept reform or step down, thus weakening the dictator's position and putting America on the right side of the Arab Spring. Mubarak ended thirty-year rule when overthrown on February 11.
12. Reversed Bush Torture Policies. Two days after taking office, nullified Bush-era rulings that had allowed detainees in U.S. custody to be tortured. Doing the right thing.
13. Improved America's Image Abroad: With new policies, diplomacy, and rhetoric, reversed a sharp decline in world opinion toward the U.S. (and the corresponding loss of "soft power") during the Bush years. From 2008 to 2011, favorable opinion toward the United States rose in ten of fifteen countries surveyed by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, with an average increase of 26 percent.
14. Kicked Banks Out of Federal Student Loan Program, Expanded Pell Grant Spending: Unbelievable - Bush had been subsidizing banks to provide college loans. Starting July 2010 all students began getting their federal student loans directly from the federal government. Treasury will save $67 billion over ten years, $36 billion of which will go to expanding Pell Grants to lower-income students.
15. Created Race to the Top: With funds from stimulus, started $4.35 billion program of competitive grants to encourage and reward states for education reform.
16. Boosted Fuel Efficiency Standards: Released new fuel efficiency standards in 2011 that will nearly double the fuel economy for cars and trucks by 2025.
17. Passed Mini Stimuli: To help families hurt by the recession and spur the economy as stimulus spending declined, signed series of measures (July 22, 2010; December 17, 2010; December 23, 2011) to extend unemployment insurance and cut payroll taxes.
18. Increased Support for Veterans: The Bush record on veterans was disgraceful. With so many soldiers coming home from Iraq and Iran with serious physical and mental health problems, yet facing long waits for services, increased 2010 Department of Veterans Affairs budget by 16 percent and 2011 budget by 10 percent. Also signed new GI bill offering $78 billion in tuition assistance over a decade, and provided multiple tax credits to encourage businesses to hire veterans.
19. Tightened Sanctions on Iran: In effort to deter Iran's nuclear program, signed Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (2010) to punish firms and individuals who aid Iran's petroleum sector. In late 2011 and early 2012, coordinated with other major Western powers to impose sanctions aimed at Iran's banks and with Japan, South Korea, and China to shift their oil purchases away from Iran.
20. Created Conditions to Begin Closing Dirtiest Power Plants: New EPA restrictions on mercury and toxic pollution, issued in December 2011, likely to lead to the closing of between sixty-eight and 231 of the nation's oldest and dirtiest coal-fired power plants. Estimated cost to utilities: at least $11 billion by 2016. Estimated health benefits: $59 billion to $140 billion. Will also significantly reduce carbon emissions and, with other regulations, comprises what's been called Obama's "stealth climate policy."
21. Eliminated Catch-22 in Pay Equality Laws: Signed Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009, giving women who are paid less than men for the same work the right to sue their employers after they find out about the discrimination, even if that discrimination happened years ago. Under previous law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., the statute of limitations on such suits ran out 180 days after the alleged discrimination occurred, even if the victims never knew about it.
22. Protected Two Liberal Seats on the U.S. Supreme Court: Nominated and obtained confirmation for Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and third woman to serve, in 2009; and Elena Kagan, the fourth woman to serve, in 2010. They replaced David Souter and John Paul Stevens, respectively.
23. Improved Food Safety System: In 2011, signed FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, which boosts the Food and Drug Administration's budget by $1.4 billion and expands its regulatory responsibilities to include increasing number of food inspections, issuing direct food recalls, and reviewing the current food safety practices of countries importing products into America.
24. Achieved New START Treaty: Signed with Russia (2010) and won ratification in Congress (2011) of treaty that limits each country to 1,550 strategic warheads (down from 2,200) and 700 launchers (down from more than 1,400), and reestablished and strengthened a monitoring and transparency program that had lapsed in 2009, through which each country can monitor the other.
25. Expanded National Service: Signed Serve America Act in 2009, which authorized a tripling of the size of AmeriCorps. Program grew 13 percent to 85,000 members across the country by 2012, when new House GOP majority refused to appropriate more funds for further expansion.
26. Expanded Wilderness and Watershed Protection: Signed Omnibus Public Lands Management Act (2009), which designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, created thousands of miles of recreational and historic trails, and protected more than 1,000 miles of rivers.
27. Re-Oriented Defense Priorities: Cut the Reagan-era "Star Wars" missile defense budget, saving $1.4 billion in 2010, and canceled plans to station antiballistic missile systems in Poland and the Czech Republic in favor of sea-based defense plan focused on Iran and North Korea. Killed the F-22, which cost $384million each but have never flown a combat mission. Increased cyber-warfare and intelligence spending. Cut troops from 570k to 490k.
28. Let Space Shuttle Die and Killed Planned Moon Mission: Allowed the expensive ($1 billion per launch), badly designed, dangerous shuttle program to make its final launch on July 8, 2011. Cut off funding for even more bloated and problem-plagued Bush-era Constellation program to build moon base in favor of support for private-sector low-earth orbit ventures, research on new rocket technologies for long-distance manned flight missions, and unmanned space exploration, including the largest interplanetary rover ever launched, which will investigate Mars's potential to support life.
29. Invested Heavily in Renewable Technology: As part of the 2009 stimulus, invested $90 billion, more than any previous administration, in research on smart grids, energy efficiency, electric cars, renewable electricity generation, cleaner coal, and biofuels.
30. Avoided Scandal: As of November 2011, served longer than any president in decades without a scandal, as measured by the appearance of the word "scandal" (or lack thereof) on the front page of the Washington Post.
31. Created Recovery.gov: Created serious transparency for citizens on government spending. Create a Web site run by independent board of inspectors general looking for fraud and abuse in stimulus spending, provides public with detailed information on every contract funded by $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Thanks partly to this transparency, board has uncovered very little fraud, and Web site has become national model: "The stimulus has done more to promote transparency at almost all levels of government than any piece of legislation in recent memory," reports Governing magazine.
32. Pushed Broadband Coverage: Proposed and obtained in 2011 Federal Communications Commission approval for a shift of $8 billion in subsidies away from landlines and toward broadband Internet for lower-income rural families.
33. Expanded Health Coverage for Children: Signed 2009 Children's Health Insurance Authorization Act, which allows the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to cover health care for 4 million more children, paid for by a tax increase on tobacco products.
34. Expanded Stem Cell Research: In 2009, eliminated the Bush-era restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, which shows promise in treating spinal injuries, among many other areas. This is a huge reverse from the Republicans who have worked tirelessly to stop stem cell research.

How to Plan an Herb Garden
Cosmetics and medicinal products have been made from herbs for many years, but beauty and well being don't have to come out of a bottle.
Getting out in the garden, yours or a green fingered friend's, will bring a glow to the skin and fresh air in the lungs. Instant feel-good.
Take a look around at herbs in their natural state, before they become creams and potions and lotions. Not only are they pleasant to look at, but also their scents can evoke memories, emotions and appetite!
Here are seven handy everyday herbs to make you look good and feel good, and best of all, you don't have to part with a penny!
Coriander: Aids digestion. Add a few chopped fresh leaves to spice up any meal and you won't suffer with indigestion.
Basil: Put a few leaves in a muslin bag under the hot tap to produce an invigorating bath!
Thyme: An infusion of thyme will help soothe coughs and colds and even hangovers.
Parsley: It is loaded with vitamin C and will help promote healthy skin. Add parsley to any meal. It also helps freshen the breath.
Sage: Helps with the miseries of PMS and menopause. A small glassful of sage tea taken for a few days before a period will soon put a stop to those moodies!
Lavender: Crush a few leaves to release the scent and all fuzzy headaches magically fade away. A sprig or two in a clothes drawer will add freshness to your undies!
Borage: The herb of courage! Research suggests that borage works directly on the adrenal gland, where courage begins! Rich in mineral salts, borage is useful to add to salt-free diets.Try growing these seven everyday herbs yourself. Most will successfully grow in pots on a sunny windowsill if no outside space is available. And remember to use them! Herbs like to be picked and will often fade away if not cared for properly. They will repay you ten times over, with zest in your diet and natural medicines for your family.

CHARLOTTE, NC - SEPTEMBER 18: Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers warms up before the game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on September 18, 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
There is no enemy that the Bears know better than the Packers. The rivalry between two of the NFL's original teams is the oldest in the league, and dates back to the Roaring '20s. It's a rivalry that is just as fierce now as it was George Halas and Curly Lambeau roaming the sidelines, as the Bears and the Packers played three times last season, with each game growing more pivotal. This is a team that the Bears may know better than themselves.
Let's take a look at this evil green and gold team from that state where we like to bring our boats:
Ugh. The conclusion? The Packers are still really, really good.
