David Letterman Working at the McDonalds Drive Through
This is a classic and one of my favourite ever sketches.
Dave needs to go on Twitter more often.
He's not letting it go. Dave will not allow Tracy to skate out of this.
Jesus christ, THIS is why I ADORE THIS MAN. Anyone who's ever questioned why Dave is the best, FUCK YOU, watch this.
There's a great article in Rolling Stone this week about the first year of David Letterman's NBC show and how it revolutionized the talk show format. I found this video the other day and I think it's a perfect example of what the article talks about. They did an opening that was this absurd in only the 9th episode, during a time when the only thing people had seen was Carson's tight format of monologue, sketch, and interview. Jon Stewart might win all the awards but he and all the talk show hosts know that they owe a lot to Letterman.
This. THIS is why Dave will always hold a high place in my bitter little black heart, why he has been the one I've adored and admired longest of any host, of any COMEDIAN, PERIOD. While it may seem fairly standard now, one must understand that nobody had done things the way David Letterman and his folk did them back in the day. Dave was and is my very first comedy love, and I owe him far more than I can ever repay.
How do I know I'm becoming a Potterfan?
When I'm watching The Late Show and thinking, "Ha, Dave's tie looks like Gryffindor colors."
This is a slippery slope, isn't it…?
This happens tonight and I just saw a promo for it. I love them both so hard. I live for this shit. For me, it's going to be fangirl crack of the highest order.
And then on Friday, Craigy is going to be on the Regis & Kelly show. I never watch it, but it's been well-established that I will follow Craig Ferguson anywhere. Even to daytime television.
I like this week.
The one who started it all. I owe this man my love of comedy, my love of late night, and by extension, my life. If you think I'm exaggerating or that sounds melodramatic, do fuck right off.

Mums Say members with newborn babies have been trialing Little Ewoks Orange Gum Drop Pacifier - scroll down to read their reviews below!
The Gum Drop Pacifiers are used in Australian hospital wards such as NICU and Special Care Nursery for premature infants. They are made of a plastic inner guard, over-molded with medical grade silicone and are phthalate-free, latex-free and BPA-safe.
What is included in this trial?
1 x Orange Gum Drop Pacifier
Little Ewoks would love to hear your overall thoughts on the product as well as how parents feel the Orange Gum Drop Pacifier compares to other pacifiers.
For more information about Little Ewoks, visit them on the Kidspot Directory hereWant to be the first to know about upcoming trials? Join our Mums Say about Kidspot Directory Advertisers Group here!
Thanks for the opportunity to review the Little Ewoks Pacifier.We trialled the dummy with our 3 month old on a few occasions. We especially like that the dummy is moulded out of one piece and does not have the risk of the bulb separating from the base.It was easy to clean and water did not become trapped in it. The bright orange colour made it easy to find in the bag or if dropped in the car capsule.Unfortunately my bub found it difficult to keep the dummy in his mouth as he prefers the larger bulb to suck on.Also a case to cover the bulb would be great for transportation.
I am so sorry that this review is late, but we have been on holidays, and only getting to do it now.Unfortunately my little Grandaughter (7mths) just keep spitting the dummy out.
Maybe the bigger size would have been much better for an older Bub..
The small size would be well suited to a Premie Bub or a Newborn.
But the product is wonderful..and the added bonus of being BPA free, is reassurance to new Mums.
Thankyou for allowing us to trial it!
I remember seeing a friend of mine with these when she had her twins and the hospital provided them to her as her bubs were in special care as they were prem. I thought they looked cool and felt different. I loved the fact that they were all one piece which was peace of mind after the recall some time ago on a particular dummy (pacifier). However, i could not readily find them available when i had my second bub 2 years ago and as it happens she went without one great :) I was looking forward to trying this with my bub as he is getting somewhat grouchy and clingy in the day and thought it would pacify him as i loved and he did too the fact that i could help move it in his mouth with the little indentation for my finger. However, he just would not take to it, i tried and tried but he wouldn't take to it. I think it's just him, he just prefers to have cuddles with mummy to soothe him as once he's asleep he's fine. I have now given the lovely Gum Drop Pacifier to a close friend who is due shortly so that she can get use out of it once her bub comes along. It is a lovely pacifer with more positive features than others in the market and i love the colour, it's just unfortunate that i am not able to give more of a review as my bub just wouldn't take it. Thank you for the opportunity to try the Little Ewoks Gum Drop Pacifier.
I was looking forward to trying out this dummy. I washed it and sterilized it but it still smelt strongly of plastic so i washed it another 3 times before i was confident the smell was gone. My son is 16wks and currently users and loves the mam dummies but he wouldnt keep this in his mouth. He kept gagging when i put it in and then spitting it out. When i compared the teat size, this one was alot longer. My son is fully breastfed and I thought since this was same shape and size as my nipple that he would take to it but he just gags on it. I tried few times a day for over a week and the same thing he gags every time. I even tried putting honey on the end to try to keep it in his mouth but didnt work.
I did like that the whole dummy was one piece without any sharp or hard plastic that can come off and get lodged in his throat. However i do think it is an ugly looking dummy by both the shape and the bright orange colour. It looks a lil weird seeing him sucking the end of it.
Thanks for the opportunity though
I was very excited when I got this dummy in the mail. I washed it and sterilized it straight away. I like how soft the nipple is on this dummy and thought my new born son would love it; however, he wouldnt keep it in his mouth. I kept trying for days and after one of his feeds I put down his bottle beside it and saw that the shape of the nipple on the dummy is the exact shape to the Avent bottles I use. I think he was getting fustraited with the dummy cause it felt the same in his mouth and he was expecting to get milk from it and when his sucking produced nothing he just spat it out. Even tho it didnt work out for us I did like the fact that it didnt have any hard plastic at all on the dummy and that it is one piece which would prevent germs getting into joins.
Thank you for this opportunity.
I loved my Little Ewoks Gumdrop Dummy (or rather my daughter did). She hasn't taken to dummies before but with a brother not much older than her I have been looking for something to calm her during those moments when both are upset.
The gumdrop dummy is available in two sizes. One for Prem babies and one for full term babies to cater for the different pallette development. The teat and shape do not change as the children age. I think this is why they are fabulous for breastfed babies. Does your nipple dramatically change size and shape over the time your baby breastfeeds? Then why should you change the size and shape of your childs dummy over the same period if you don't have to?
They are designed as a single piece over a hard base so there are no seams to get grubby or fall apart as the base is totally encased in silicone. Easy to inspect for damage and easy to clean. Once the child is big enough to put the entire thing in their mouth then that's it. They look a little weird at first as the hollow teat lets you see inside your baby's mouth as they suck but you get used to it
This dummy has been great as a soother for those tough times when my hands are full of screaming toddler instead of five month old. I think because of the nipple shape my daughter can only keep it in her mouth when she's sucking so when she's exploring she doesn't have the dummy in place all the time, just for settling. I've had no problems with nipple confusion. My daughter won't take other dummies but the Gumdrop dummy lets even my husbad settle her for a moment so i can have a shower in peace.
Thankyou for letting my daughter and i trial this product. I think it's a fabulous product that is soft enough to appeal to my daughter but hard wearing enough to appeal to me. If there are any breast feeding mummas out there who are looking for a dummy that won't affect their feeding but give them an extra moment to finish their tasks then I highly reccomend the Little Ewoks Gumdrop.
My little bub (5 months) has had trouble staying interested in some of the dummies I have tied him with, however when trying the Little Ewoks dummy, he seemed to take to it more than the others tried so far. He still isnt furiously sucking on this one but at least he is trying it longer than others. The soft design meant that if it fell out it wasnt hard and stiff underneath his head or body causing discomfort and i think the design of the teat in the shape of a nipple helped as it wasnt such a difference from breast or bottle to the dummy. I love the bright orange colour too - made it so much easier to find :) It is an unsual dummy, not the prettiest I have seen, but I found it practical and would recommend to other mums, especially those with newborns. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to trial this product.
Thanks for letting me and my bub trial this pacifier. I have tried it with my bub (4.5 months) or a few days now and having mixed results. She seems to take to it, but doesn't seem to be able to hold it in her mouth. I am not sure if this is because is to little for her or for some other reason. Maybe she needed the next size (if there is one).
From a looks point of view, is just isn't very appealing. It may be the bright orange colour (not sure if there are differnt colours). It was also a bit weird being able to see into her mouth while she was sucking it.
I think that the pacifier would be great for newborns.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the opportunity to trial the Gum Drop pacifier. Unfortunately it wasn't very successful for my 7 month old. It was just too small and my son couldn't get a grip on it. I persevered for a while but he wasnt getting the hang of it. I think if he'd had one from a newborn he may have been ok, but he's been using a different brand which has a much bigger teat. I'm not a fan of pacifiers full stop but both my children have had them and I try and find the more attractive looking ones as well as the bpa free, environmentally friendly ones, and I have to say the Gum Drop one isn't the most pretty of things.

Words of the Week
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Many things happen in life. There are joyous days and times of suffering. Sometimes unpleasant things occur. But that's what makes life so interesting. The dramas we encounter are part and parcel of being human. If we experienced no change or drama in our lives, if nothing unexpected ever happened, we would merely be like automatons, our lives unbearably monotonous and dull. Therefore, please develop a strong self so that you can enact the drama of your life with confidence and poise in the face of whatever vicissitudes you may encounter.<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>
These excerpts are from "Buddhism Day by Day: Wisdom for Modern Life " by Daisaku Ikeda. This book is available for purchase at the online store Online Bookstore or your local SGI-USA Community Center bookstore.

The Smartphone War: Apple vs Samsung
By aakanksha patodia - January 22, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG |
By now, most of the world knows what an iPhone is — and they know it typically doesn't come cheap.
That is the problem Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) faces. It must decide whether to keep catering to the high end of the phone market, reaping fat profits from relatively fewer sales, or offer something cheaper to compete with lower-cost alternatives like Samsung's phones.

Although I really hate missing people, it is something I am used to because of being blessed with so many wonderful pals. Having your best friends over 300 miles away for the majority of the year does not make friendship easy but somehow we cope and that makes the times we get in summer be really freakin' awesome. Here are some of my favourites and the times we have had this summer...
Sunday, 13 July 2014
Fail Safes.
Although I am usually a simple dresser who sticks with basics and the usual statement piece, I am a firm believer in a few good accessories. Here are my favourites this summer:
And finally jewellery; I am a total magpie and love anything silver, but the necklace I have been reaching for lately is a little different; handmade by the beautiful ladies at Bestow Jewellery, it is the perfect accessory for a summer by the sea.
My little tan backpack from Italy was such a great find and I haven't used a different bag since, I love it. It's the perfect size and everything. (The Blue Peter badge is my dads.)
Not just a summer time accessory, but most of the time, I have a pair of Vans on my feet. I just love them too much. Here are my current favourites.
And finally jewellery; I am a total magpie and love anything silver, but the necklace I have been reaching for lately is a little different; handmade by the beautiful ladies at Bestow Jewellery, it is the perfect accessory for a summer by the sea.
What are your go-to accessories at the moment?
All Black Er'ything OOTD
This is the sort of outfit you can usually find me in; comfy but what I like to hope is stylish. The vest was actually a dress I chopped up and the skort was an ebay steal at about £7 (the zip has since fallen off but nothing a needle and thread can't fix).
Topped off with three things it is rare to see me without; Vans, my trusty Italian backpack and fave leather jacket.
What do you think?
A Pilgrimage of Peace, Pizza and History
At the end of May, me and mum headed off on our holidays to Sorrento in Italy. It was a well needed break for the two of us and something we were both really looking forward to. The prospect of sunshine and calm waters were obviously a huge lure but as well as that, I was really happy to be able to escape with my favourite human; I am massively aware that I am by no means an easy person to live with: I can be angry, emotional, hyperactive and so many other things I am probably not even aware of. And of course, mum being the incredible person she is, feels guilty when she can't help and then I feel guilty because I hate that I'm hurting her by being such a mess. Don't get me wrong, we have a hoot but sometimes it's nice to escape reality for a while, right? When pondering holiday destinations, I threw Italy out there because we both love it, the culture, the food, the language, the history, basically everything it has to offer. Before we knew it we had booked flights to Naples and were counting the days. Sorrento is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, built into and on the coastal cliffs, there are unimaginable views as far as the eye can see. We actually drove through the little village where pizza was invented!!
I won't go into too much detail because were there for 12 days so I could write far too much. The highlights were definitely wandering/getting lost in Pompeii; I have wanted to go here for so long as I remember studying it in school and being fascinated. Because Pompeii was covered with ash and not lava, everything was really well preserved, including some of the bodies (creepy). We also went to Herculanean which is way smaller but in much better condition. I do love history. The main highlight for both of us was an impulsive decision to go on a eco-friendly 4x4 that looked like something out of Jurassic Park, through Versuvius national park and then walking the last bit up to the crater of the volcano. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. The crater is currently blocked up from the last non-explosive erruption in 1944 although there are still some wisps of sulphurous steam wafting around. The views from the top were incredible and well worth the difficult ashy trek to the top.
Other than the historical trips out, we spent most of our time soaking up the sun, swimming, and exploring the maze of backstreets that make up Sorrento and Positano: Oh, and eating copious amounts of Gelato and pizza.
I decided before we went that I wanted to visit Naples for a day by myself and so one hot morning, off I went. The public transport over there is amazing, so so cheap and well organised and what not. So many of my peers are off having adventures around the globe and while I am nowhere financially or mentally prepared for something like that, I was looking forward to my own little adventure. In my typical impulsive and unorganised style, I set off out of the station with no map and no idea resulting in me getting lost in a huge fish market and falling over in front of all the locals. Smooth, I know. Following this, I bought a map and headed for the Museum of Archeology. It was such a rad museum, really airy and spacious yet full of incredible finds from Italy to Egypt. I could have stayed there for hours but after a while I left and wandered down Carbonara Avenue (yes that actually exists) and found myself a slushie and a cronut; doughnut crossed with a croissant; Amazing. My journey back was not so pleasant as a creepy man put his hand up my dress but I was thankfully rescued by a nice American couple.
And I think that pretty much sums up our Italian Adventure!:)
Have any of you been to Sorrento or Italy?

Martin Marietta Materials Inc.'s (MLM) fourth-quarter earnings rose 45% as the construction-materials company's aggregates business reported strong shipments growth in both its nonresidential and residential markets.
The producer of gravel, sand and other building materials has seen its profit pressured by soft demand from infrastructure markets as the Transportation Department and local governments contend with tight budgets.
However, prospects for Martin Marietta and rival Vulcan Materials Co. (VMC) have been looking up amid an improved outlook for the U.S. construction industry.
Martin Marietta has remained mum on whether it plans to rekindle its scuttled bid for rival Vulcan Materials Co. (VMC) since a court ruling that barred Martin Marietta from pursuing its hostile takeover bid expired in September. Vulcan is set to release its fourth-quarter financial report on Thursday.
In the latest quarter, Martin Marietta's sales in its aggregates business, by far its largest top-line contributor, climbed 26% to $407.3 million as pricing grew 1% and volume was up 5%.
President and Chief Executive Ward Nye said "aggregates product line volume growth reflects a 13% increase in shipments in both the nonresidential and residential end-use markets."
Mr. Ward also said volume growth was notable in the energy sector, as well as the commercial construction sector.

If you ever look at the definition of specific AutoSys Job, you would find that it contains attribute-value pairs (line-by-line), delimited by colon ':' I thought it would be cool to parse the job definition, by creating python dictionary using the attribute-value pairs.
Let us take a look at sample job definition;
$> cat sample_jil insert_job: A0001 command: echo "Hi" condition: s(B0001, 03\:00) & v(SRVR) = "UP" std_out_file: >/home/nvarun/outfile std_err_file: >/home/nvarun/errfile group: NV $>
Getting Started
To convert this into Python Dictionary, execute the following command;
$> sed "s/^\([^:]*\):\(.*\)$/'\1':'\2'/" sample_jil > sample_pydict $> cat sample_pydict 'insert_job':' A0001' 'command':' echo "Hi"' 'condition':' s(B0001, 03\:00) & v(SRVR) = "UP"' 'std_out_file':' >/home/nvarun/outfile' 'std_err_file':' >/home/nvarun/errfile' 'group':' NV' $>
We are half-way through, to complete the conversion, write following steps in python script and populate dictionary as follows;
import string jobDefn = {} with open('sample_pydict', 'r') as f: for line in f.read().splitlines(): colon = string.find(line, ':') key = string.replace(line[:colon], "'", "") val = line[colon+1:].strip() jobDefn[key] = val print jobDefn
- Using f.read() reads the input file at one go and invoking splitlines() splits the input into list of several lines, resulting in creating an iterator.
- The for-statement iterates over each line, wherein position of first occurrence of colon is found and used for extracting key, value based on slicing.
- At the end of the loop, the dictionary object jobDefn is printed.
Hope this helps.

I don't know about you guys, but once I've install my RAM, I don't stare longingly into its cryptic mess of soldering. Regardless, Crucial has seen it fit to introduce a DDR3 memory model with built-in LED lights for 10 seconds of needless enjoyment. I suppose the upside is that you'll know your RAM is snug if the lights are on. The Ballistix Tracer DDR3 RAM is PC3-10600 compatible and comes in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB setups.
Perhaps they've got the 'see through case' PC guys in mind

If you ever wondered what it would take for the Parents Television Council to
go after TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras,"
here's your answer: A 3-year-old named Paisley dressed up as Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman," the streetwalker scenes.
Bing: More about 'Toddlers &
"We have a serious problem when The Learning Channel features a toddler, who
probably hasn't even learned to read, dressed as a prostitute showing off her
sexy strut," the PTC tells TMZ. "There's no question, TV executives are
complicit in robbing these small kids of their childhood."
Or, some could argue, the parents are. However, Paisley's mom, Wendy Dickey,
has a different take on things.
She tells TMZ that the outfit is "less revealing than gymnastics wear and
swimsuits" and that Paisley does transform into the "classy" Julia Roberts as
well but that TLC chose to edit that part out.
"I take my kid to church every week," Dickey says. "At least I'm not forcing
them into sports and getting my child injured, like some parents."

There are low information voters on both sides of the coin. If Obama should be worried about this matter, then so should Mitt. They have always existed. They will probably always be in existence.
In response to:
This article is not disclosing the truth or there simply is a lack of information on the author's behalf. CTU is stating that the new teacher evaluation based on the students standardized test scores is not a sufficient reason to rid CPS teachers. The new tactic may be a bit unfair. Poverty, violence, homelessness and amongst other things are a factor. Some kids are facing some social and environmental issues. The unions have requested more counselors and social workers in the schools.On the other hand, Rahm is trying to rid Chgo's useless teachers. If the students fail, fire the teachers. Not every teacher is bad, but maybe it will nip CPS's problem in the bud.

Mistress Marion makes her intention quite clear.
Mistress Marion's sissy strapon slave is in for a real treat, judging by what's dangling down from her delicate fingers.
She's a strict Mistress and she will stop at nothing to degrade men until they're obedient strapon loving sissies, who frequently beg her to give them a good bumfucking.
This strapon sissy is about to be shown who's in charge.
First he's being dressed up like a woman and then he's going to get fucked like a woman. And that's just how he wants it because he's a submissive little fuckwhore who desires to be dominated by strict women.
She hammers his ass with her strapon cock and makes him spill his cum all over his own stockings. Once she's found out that he enjoys being the bitch, not a day goes by that he doesn't get strapon feminized.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
There's a lot of attitude in Heroics anymore, and it's pretty easy to get caught up in the bad feelings. I've actually had fewer problems in pugs where none of the members knew each other at all, and more problems when two or more of the members are in the same guild or social circle. People seem more inclined to listen to alternate views and tips when they don't know anyone, but when they have a friend to back up their point things can get nasty.
I think everyone should just keep in mind that we all have the same goal, getting to the end of the instance, and the better everyone gets along the faster this will get done. Sometimes its faster to just do it the group's way, even if you would differently.
I've actually found that people tend to be a lot more patient and considerate in heroics than in normals. I've had several very smooth heroic runs, even one where we didn't get past the first boss because the healer left with a smile, saying he didn't think we had the dps, but great attempts. He was probably right, 5k isn't really a great number for heroics.
Whereas in normals, I've been screamed at, told GOGOGO more times than I can count, told "CC is for noobs" as they rush up and break my Sleep, and kicked for not being able to keep the entire group up when two Earthshapers were allowed to transform because, of course, interrupting is probably for noobs, too.
People don't treat normals seriously, so they think they can be as stupid and abusive in them as they were in Wrath dungeons. Heroics, however, are still dangerous and somewhat unknown, so people seem more willing to cooperate and stick it out.
Of course, you get your fair share of "We wiped twice, these guys are noobs," group-droppers, but overall I've found heroics far more tolerable to PUG than normals, surprisingly.
I've noticed no difference. I have to say they've seemed very much the same to me (not in terms of difficulty but the people) Sometimes the people are nice, sometimes they talk tactics and sometimes people are rude and don't, or a combination of the above. I have to say though that both are a huge improvement on Wrath dungeons and heroics where the chance of people talking was probably 1/10.
O have to agree with Snuzzle. Even on the most wipe-filled pug/LFD runs, everyone pretty much has a very casual attitude towards wipes. Hell, the answer to "What does this boss do different in heroic" is more often than not "We'll find out when it kills us" and everyone has fun with that attitude.
We've had maybe 1 person ragequit on a run since cata launched, and that was a VERY bad DK tank. We all figured he was just a DPS who queued as a tank for the instant run and was a bit disappointed when he couldn't just "Wrath" his way through it.
Otherwise Cata seems to have led to one of the all time highs in the community's level of respect all around. DPS offer to CC without prompting, will pay attention to things that suddenly make a beeline to the healer and try to head them off, and generally attempt to play more intelligently than ever before, even offering alternative pull strategies when things start going rough.

Melanie had promised to meet back up with Zach on the main balcony to the Licatta mansion, once having what was meant to be a quick conversation with her Father. However, the conversation proved to be anything but quick, and ended with her receiving what was meant to be a present.
To Melanie, it sounded more like a death sentence. And as she tore through the large crowd to make her way back to the designated meeting spot, she heard various bits of sentences directed towards her. As she became more desperate to free herself of the sound of foreign voices and unwanted banter, her speed increased. Quickly enough she found herself in the house, and made her way up the balcony.
Though she said nothing, the tears slowly building in her eyes said enough.

The anti-gay National Organization for Marriage fervently hides its 501(c)(4) donors, but still has to disclose the donors to its Education Fund (the Ruth Institute), its 501(c)(3). Last year, ThinkProgress reported that NOM had received $500,000 from Douglas DeVos, president of the Amway company. Fred Karger, fresh off the presidential campaign trail, has launched a boycott of Amway and all other subsidiaries owned by the DeVos family. In his letter to DeVos, Karger invited Amway to settle the boycott by donating comparable funds to LGBT equality organizations so as to be "a good corporate citizen and work toward full equality, fairness and respect for everyone in our great country."

Test-driven design (TDD) is an
evolutionary approach to software development which combines test-first development where
you write a test before you write just enough production code to fulfill that
test and refactoring. TDD eliminates tentative traits, it teaches programmers to communicate, and it encourages team members to seek out criticism. It's about specification not validation of code.
Kent Beck popularized TDD in eXtreme Programming

1 batch pizza dough or a ball of store bought
1 cup shredded Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
zest from two lemons
salt and pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 450°. If you have a baking stone, place this in the oven now. ***This can also be done over on the grill outside. Check out instructions for this here.***
Trim the roots off the leeks and then slice each leek into very thin rounds. Place the leeks in a large bowl and fill with water. Toss the leeks with your fingers, separating the individual rings. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the dirt to settle to the bottom.
Set a saucepan over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Transfer the leeks to the saucepan using a slotted spoon, add a healthy pinch of salt, and cook the leeks until they are bright green and wilted. Set aside.
Slice the potato into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick and preferably using a mandoline. Place slices in a bowl of cool water and set aside. Strip the leaves off the thyme and set aside.
Separate the dough into two pieces. Set each ball of dough on a piece of parchment and roll them out into rounds. Brush each round with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Begin to layer on the toppings. Spread each pizza round with half the ricotta cheese. Scatter the thyme over top. Arrange the potato slices in overlapping layers and top with a layer of leeks. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over both pizzas.
Slide the pizzas one at a time into the oven. If your pizza stone isn't big enough, bake individually. If you're not using a pizza stone, slide the pizzas onto cookie sheets and then into the oven to bake.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating once, until the edges are golden and the leeks have started to crisp. Transfer the pizzas to a cooling rack and remove the layer of parchment. Toss the lemon zest over the surface of the hot pizza (or zest the lemon directly onto the pizzas). Allow to cool slightly, then divide into individual portions.

Any reason to enjoy a glass of Prosecco...
sounds great! And I like that I can leave the zest off at the end for my anti-lemon husband.
These look great!
It was awesome and simple to make!!! Thanks
I made your recipe and it was absolutely delicious. It is just as good in the winter as in the summer, I imagine. Ahhhhhh, summer.

Are you joking me? Warriors are the most over respresented and overpowered class in all arenas? Really? Really? I'm not going to say warlocks are fine because I play one of those too, and I know the pains, but srsly. Warlocks at least were on some of the top ten teams in the arena tourney at one point. Warriors were not. Warriors were represented on 1% of arena teams in the tournament in the last poll that I saw. But I guess those 99% of teams are missing out, huh?
This isn't a warrior/warlock qq who sucks more thread though, so I'll quit now.
I have noticed that the ranged attack in the Argent Tourney does more damage now. 10k instead of 9k. Not much but definitely helpful on those aerial mobs in the horseback daily.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/222225If you are an owner of a business and are not happy about the way it's being run, you have several options:
- Offer to buy out the other owners so that you can stay on board.
- Make an offer to be bought out and leave.
- Bring a court proceeding and possibly dissolve the company.
If the company has a shareholders' or operating agreement that outlines the rights of owners, you should follow the procedures set out in the document.
If there is no written agreement, the only way to buy out or get bought out is to reach an agreement with your father. Yet, your description of him doesn't make him sound too agreeable.
At that point, your only recourse will be to bring a lawsuit in court to declare what you're entitled to and to value the company. Depending on the strength of the company, you may find that you could end up spending more in attorneys' fees than the value of your interest is worth.
It's best to consult with a local attorney know understands these issues to develop a strategy and get an estimate of the costs involved.

Can a Liberal be a Christian
View Profile
My Blogs
My Blog Series
My RSS Feed
A Christian is defined as a person who believes Jesus is the Christ. A Christian is a follower of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. These teachings are embodied in the Jewish Torah and in a collection of documents written by contemporaries of Jesus and by His early followers. This collection is called the New Testament or the Gospel of Jesus. Gospel simply means "good news". So, considering the definition of a Christian as one who follows the teachings of Jesus, is it possible for a Liberal to be a Christian?
First it is important to define Liberal. The word itself has several synonyms including open-minded, tolerant, and free-thinking. In another sense, 'liberal' means generous, copious, profuse, and excessive. The term also has a political sense - in this sense Liberalism promotes reform. The American Democratic Party currently promotes a Liberal agenda. They seek reform or change by political means. Therefore, if a person thinks of himself as open-minded, tolerant, and free-thinking, that person is a Liberal. It is also logical to assume that this person supports the Democratic Party, its Platform or agenda, and the reform it seeks.
What does a Liberal want to reform or change? He wants to change America so that America is more tolerant and open-minded. The Liberal sees American values as out-dated, not tolerant, and closed-minded.
So what are these American values that are out-of-date and intolerant? American values are Christian values - America was founded on Christian values - Our laws and our Constitution are based upon Judeao-Christian values. This is a simple fact that cannot be logically denied. America was not founded on freedom of religion, it was founded on freedom of Christian religion. The framers of the Constitution were Christians almost to the man. Prior to ratification of the Constitution, the various Colonies were fearful of loosing religious and other freedom to a strong national government, and so they insisted upon a Bill of Rights to protect themselves. Even during the lifetimes of these Constitutional authors, some people sought reform of the Constitution by unconstitutional means, (by liberal interpretation or adjudication). The response to this heresy was the writing of the Federalist Papers. These papers were written to verify the original intent of the Constitution.
Over time, opposition to basic founding ideals and values has grown, and America has become divided between secularists and traditionalists - this has manifested a polarization in politics. The ideological division is deeply split between Liberal and Conservative. Today, a Liberal typically thinks the Democratic Party is too far to the Right and a Conservative typically thinks the Republican Party is too far to the Left. This polarization is much deeper than politics alone. It is 'values' based. The Liberal is secular and wants legitimacy for secular ideals such as homosexuality and abortion. The Conservative is typically supportive of religious ideals or traditional Christian values.
I don't want to leave Moderates out. Polarization is forcing Moderates to choose sides. Anyone still claiming to be a Moderate is either a Liberal or a Conservative without conviction.
It is easy to see where this is going. A Liberal does not want to be restricted by codified Christian values. Abortion is probably the most significant value based rift between Liberals and Conservatives so I will use abortion as an example. Although things like "health of the mother", rape, and incest are often listed as justifiable reasons for an abortion, these are normally not a factor. Abortion is used to fix mistakes - it is a convenience. The unprecedented reaction by Liberals to the election of 2004 is primarily due to the abortion issue. Roe v. Wade was a close decision and the face of the Supreme Court is about to change. No longer if, but when this happens, Liberals will not have their perceived justification by the Law on this issue. To the Liberal, abortion is a right, homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, and all religions are equally valid. To the Christian, abortion is murder, homosexuality is sin, and other religions are false. There can be no reconciliation of these differences.
So here is the answer. It is not possible to be a Liberal and a Christian. A Liberal may claim to be a Christian, and a Liberal may even believe he is a Christian by rationalization, but it is simply not so - it can not be true. If you choose to follow the teachings of Jesus, you cannot support murder, immorality, and perversion. You cannot reject the basic tenets of our laws or the Ten Commandments on which our laws are based. A commandment is not a suggestion.
Now, is it possible to be a Democrat and a Christian? The answer is yes. It is possible to support good people within the Democratic Party with votes and money, but there are strong caveats. To knowingly support and elect people who promote a Liberal agenda is sin. Christians who vote Liberal or Democratic straight-ticket either do so though ignorance or naivet©. It is time for Christian Democrats to wake up and realize their Party has been hijacked by National Socialists. If this election was not a wake up call to a Christian Democrat, then that person's Christian credentials are in question.
I don't mean to let the Republican Party off the hook. Both Parties have their problems with honesty because both parties are populated by sinners. However, if sin can be graded and quantified, (which it cannot), the Republicans get a 'C' and the Democrats get an 'F'.
Christians are not basking in this victory of 2004 as Liberals would like to believe. A Christian should know this victory is temporary. Secular liberalism will win out soon. The retaliation will be vicious even to the point of persecution. Christian Democrats need to get their affairs in order - decision time is coming soon. It would be wrong to say this election put off the Rapture by four years, but it would not be wrong to say the rapture is less likely, (by perhaps four years). Jesus stated in no uncertain terms that the generation that sees the rebirth of Israel will see the End Times. That is my generation - the Boomer Generation. Look around you and ask yourself - can't everything predicted literally come together - soon - even now? How much would it take to start this final countdown? We can not know the time, but we can know the season. Never before in the history of mankind has all prophesy regarding the End Times been literally possible. God is about to give 'global warming' a new meaning.
It is not too late to get right with God - He is patient. However, some time soon, there will be a line drawn in the sand. If that line were drawn today, there would not be many Right standing Democrats.

I think anyone can be a Christian. The apostle Paul was certainly liberal. He said, to those without the law I become like those without the law, so that I may save some of them. The publican was certainly not conservative, he said to God, God please have mercy on me a sinner! God does not call men not repent because they are conservative but because they are in the road to damnation and need a savior right away, now. All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God. No exceptions. May you be blessed. Amen. thbg

I'm not American, so I'm speaking from a different socio-political context here. New Zealand is a far more secularised society than the USA, and it is highly unusual for New Zealand politicians of any stripe to align themselves with any particular religious group or beliefs: faith is usually treated (rightly or wrongly) as a private matter, although it is considered acceptable for politicians to allow religious belief to influence them in 'conscience [i.e. non-party aligned] votes.In addition, our political system enables multiple parties to hold seats in our 120-member parliament, so we don't operate under a two-party system (although we do have two parties which are significantly larger and more influential than the others). I would certainly consider myself to be a Christian, but I usually vote on the liberal side of the spectrum. There are several reasons for this, but the most pertinent here would be my deep mistrust of allowing ANY religion to set the political agenda for a nation. Politics are for laws, and you can't run a religious life on laws. Doing so is a recipe not for true, living and transforming faith, but dead and fearful legalism. To me, the question is 'should religious people be allowed to use politics to dictate the terms under which non-religious people may live?' Hmmm... well, do we like it when the shoe is on the other foot? And if the answer is yes, how far do we go? Because somewhere down the path of religious-domination-of-politics lies the persecution and murder of those of other religions, witch trials, and the Spanish Inqusition. Modern theocracies in places like the Middle East would also be a case in point. Now, some of you will probably say I'm being naive and idealistic, and I would like to add that I'm NOT talking about issues such as abortion here. Nor am I saying that politicians of religious conviction are undesirable, or should abandon their convictions, or that we should simply follow along with the leadings of secularists in our society: as Christians, we are called to be IN the world but not OF the world - in other words, WE must live out what we know to be right regardless of the politics of our earthly nations. What I am saying, I guess, is that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and we need to think long and hard about the extent to which religion and politics should be combined.

My thanks to Mr Law, a guess at the name from how many people make up nick names, for writing this post. I was searching through Google for something else when I came across it. Had this article not been my first I would have never signed up for the Christian Blog service and we have yet to see what good will come from this. Also in the course of registering I found exactly what I needed to argue against Mr Law's viewpoint in the membership agreement which I have pasted below. It reads: We do not believe it is possible for us (or for anybody) to define what a "Christian" is or is not, other then to quote Romans 10:9, which says, "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved". I am far from a Biblical expert but know that the words from Romans 10:9 are the essence of the Christian faith. I have also learned that labels attached to groups of people and applied to individuals do little to increase understanding or convince anyone to examine another point of view. So while I found the arguments in this article to be thought out in great detail I believe they are counter to the teachings found in Romans, and probably many other places, that has make my argument for me better than I ever could. Hopefully others will be motivated to examine their beliefs as a result of this and the many other postings and a better understanding of how and why we believe will result.

I think you may all be missing jrlaw's point. If I make an informed vote for someone who I am well aware has tendencies to vote "aye" on pro-abortion, gay marriage, etc... issues, I am sending them out as a surrogates on my behalf. I now have ownership in the subsequent votes they cast in congress. If the votes they cast lead to legislation that goes against Biblical principle, I am now partly responsible and thus have sinned against my God. If your leanings toward the Democrat party are guided by a concern for the environment, or feeding the poor, buy a prius and feed the poor, your individual efforts will prove more fruitful than anything the government could possibly achieve on your behalf. God Bless, Jeff

I know many Christians who are Democrats. The average democratic person is not typical of the Democratic leadership that is now in office. The Democratic leadership that is in power now does not listen to the people. They have become a democratic dictatorship. KraftyKatz

Great article! I found this when I was looking on Google for a friend of mine to read. My friend who says he's a Christian just notified me on Facebook that he is a Liberal and a Socialist. I am a conservative and a born again Christian. I wanted to find something for him to read that had some good information and I sent him a link to this blog. I really hope and pray that it plants some seeds.

When do babies develop fingerprints?
Do babies have fingerprints when they're born? Could you take a baby's fingerprints on the day of their birth?
Also, do their fingerprints change as they grow?
They definitely have fingerprints at birth, but since they're so tiny newborns are usually footprinted if prints are used for ID. And those footprints can identify the grown adult, so I assume the hands are the same.
I've heard that babies have fingerprints by 22 weeks gestation, and while the fingerprints stretch and grow, they stay the same basic shape. You can identify an adult from a fingerprint taken at 22 weeks gestation. But you'd need a really big magnifying glass.
All my babies had their foots and hands inked up and put on their hospital "birth certificate" (not the official ones, just a pretty one the hospital gave us). They have distinct fingerprint ridges at birth.

It seemed to be just another day of baseball between the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers at the Ballpark in Arlington. A storm decided to change that as a huge clap of thunder sent players running for the dugout.
Lightning at a baseball game can be an extremely dangerous thing. I applaud the players for wasting zero time getting off the field and getting to safety. The stands seemed to have begun to clear out in front of the storm, so the players were the last ones to have to get to safety.
I can not believe how loud that clap was. Look at the runner on first base. He hit the ground so fast that I thought someone was shooting at him. That is how dangerous the situation was. Not many times has something like this ever been captured on video. It is just insane to watch that all in motion.
Luckily, the players were able to scramble away without having anyone struck by lightning. That would have made a bad situation a lot worse for people in attendance. Getting struck by lightning is not exactly the memory you want from a game of baseball.
A lot of players took to Twitter after this moment to tweet about how scared they were. If you judge their reactions on the field, you can see why. If it sounded that loud on TV, just think about how loud it was in person. Not exactly your normal day at the park.
The game resumed after the cell passed, but we will always have this video to remind us that things got scary for a brief moment. Or at least we have it until it gets taken off of Youtube.

Probably no other California winery boasts a history as colorful as that of Buena Vista Winery of Sonoma. It's a story of colorful European nobility, a soldier from the 1917 Russian Revolution's White Army and finally a top-ranked French wine producer coming to the rescue.
Two hundred years ago in Hungary's famed wine city of Tokaj, Agoston Haraszthy was born to a winemaking family of minor nobility.
As an adult, he started a family, but, frustrated by Hungarian social and commercial immobility, he came to the United States by 1840. In 1849 he took his family by wagon train to California.
Visiting Sonoma County, he was enchanted by its winemaking potential, In 1857 he built the state's first progressive winery, with gravity flow winemaking, California redwood barrels and a series of aging caves dug by Chinese workers. He imported thousands of top-quality European vines and dubbed himself "The Count of Buena Vista." Then tragedy happened. In the late 1860s his vines were attacked by the root louse phylloxera. He traveled then to Nicaragua to make rum, but was killed by a crocodile there while crossing a river.
In 1943, finally, a new family bought the winery, rebuilt it, replanted its grapes. And in a stroke of genius, it hired Andre Tchelistcheff as consulting winemaker. (Tchelistcheff was born in Russia and in the 1917 Revolution joined the White Russian Army opposing the Bolsheviks. When his side lost, he had to flee. He ended up in Paris studying wine, later emigrating to California.)
In the 1960s a series of ownership changes again hurt Buena Vista's image. But in 2011, new owners again arrived. Jean-Charles Boisset of Boisset Family Estates, producers of fine wine in France's vaunted Burgundy region, again has renovated the old winery and planted new vines. To mark the 200th anniversary of Haraszthy's birth, the company is releasing a new series of wine from Sonoma.
Highly recommended
2010 Buena Vista Sonoma Merlot: spicy black cherry and black pepper aromas and flavors, full-bodied, smooth, long finish; $15.
2011 Buena Vista Sonoma Chardonnay: golden delicious apples and toast, medium body, long finish; $15.
2011 Buena Vista Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc: crisp and lively, with citrus and green apple flavors; $15.
2010 Buena Vista Sonoma Zinfandel: aromas and flavors of black plums and black pepper, spicy; $15.

BRINK is a creative digital agency pushing boundaries in web, mobile, social, video and even indie film.
Does social marketing have to seem sincere to be successful?
Yesterday at Beyonce's concert in Antwerp, a Belgian advertising agency introduced the Pepsi Like Machine.
. The concept is simple. Provided you are in the vicinity of the machine, you just have to like Pepsi's Facebook page and you get a free can of soda.
Kinda clever? Sure. New? Nah. Domain registrar Domain.com did it with this adorably homemade, Twitter-powered candy machine at South By Southwest.
Social media is a relatively new concept, and marketers (especially ones who are used to doing the old media thing) are still trying to figure out how to really make it work for them. Both of these companies are exploring a relatively cheap way to engage, but the problem is often with their audience's perception. Domain.com is a small internet company that (we assume!) had to figure out a cheap way to avoid getting lost in the muck of South By Southwest. And while one could argue that candy has nothing to do with domain names, next time the average SXSW attendee needs to start a website their mind might just drift back to that Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
But Pepsi used their very expensive Beyonce endorsement as a launch paid for what in this instance looks like a ploy (especially to cynics) to exchange their product for Facebook 'Likes.' When you can afford Super Bowl ads - any attempt at the DIY aesthetic is going to be perceived as trying too hard.
Then again - won't the average person be simply stoked to get a free Pepsi for a tiny 'like'? And then you got a bunch of people walking around with your branded cans, taking some sips and who knows, maybe deciding to convert from Coke to Pepsi.
The question still remains: how do you find apps when there are simply so many out there? We've blogged about this before, but more and more solutions seem to keep popping up.
Today, two stories in particular caught our attention. The first is from Social Times, which claims that Discovr Apps is "one of those apps that you could sit down with and spend time, perhaps too much time, discovering apps that interest you." As the picture shows above (taken from the Social Times article), the app works by selecting an app you enjoy, and then creating a kind of web, connecting you with other apps that are similar to the one you already enjoy.
The second story comes from TUAW, who claims that Starbucks will give out free apps in the U.S., using the same format to when they give away free music downloads. This is clever and could be very effective, as the deal would pique the consumer's interest in the app itself. App developers would be smart to look into this, seeing as people are just as addicted to Starbucks as they are to their smartphones.
In an interesting marketing scheme that mixes together aspects of foursquare and Groupon, Jonathan Stark is allowing anyone to access his Starbucks card. All you need is a smartphone! If there is money on the card, anyone with the picture can scan the card at any Starbucks to pay for their drink. Stark then encourages the buyer to share their experience, and then add some money to the card for fellow users.
This could be a fantastic viral campaign for Starbucks — as long as they don't shut it down, as TechCrunch suggests.
