Soo… went to the farmer's market this Sunday and came back with 2 items: fig preserves (I'm fig obsessed) and a bunch of fava beans (since I've never worked with fava beans). Since the only meat I had in my frig was thin chicken breast, I decided to incorporate figs into the chicken. Voila! Hope you adore this dish as much as I do.
Chicken with Brie and Caramelized Fig Onions
Chicken Breast (few pieces or as desired; I used thinly sliced chicken)
1 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt/Black Pepper/Onion Powder
1 Onion (of any kind; halved and thinly sliced)
2 tbs Fig Preserves
pinch of sugar
1.) Heat saute wide pan, add olive oil, add onions. Stir to evenly coat with olive oil. After 10 mins add pinch of salt and pepper. Lower heat if necessary to prevent onions from burning. Occasionally stir, add pinch of sugar to help caramelize and cook for another 20 mins or so. Add fig preserves during the last 10 mins.
2.) While onions are cooking, heat pan- medium to high heat. Add olive oil. Season chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder on both sides. Once pan is heated, add chicken. Cook few mintues on each side. Add brie slices on top, lower heat and top the pan with a lid for 2 mins. Let chicken rest for few mins before serving.
3.) Top chicken and brie with caramelized onions. I served mine with a side of sauted fava beans.

Blankets. I can snuggle all day.
Homemade short ribs and churros
I love using my dutch oven to cook. Not sure what I love the most about. The overall appearance, browning the meats, the versatility. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside. This recipe is super easy and delicious. Exactly why I love it. Glad I got to share this with my loved ones tonight <3
Asian Short Ribs
1/2 cup oyster sauce
3 tbsp cup dry red wine
2 tbsp chinese cooking wine
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
couple dashes soy sauce
1.5 lbs short rib chunk
salt & pepper
chinese 5 spice powder
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 package of oyster mushrooms
1. Heat oven to 325 F.
2. Mix together oyster sauce, red wine, soy sauce, cooking wine, hoisin in a bowl; set aside. Pat ribs dry and season with salt, pepper and five spice powder.
3. Heat dutch oven, or shallow pot with a cover, add oil. When oil is hot, add ribs and brown on all sides. 2 mins each side. Remove and set aside.
3. Lower heat, add garlic to dutch oven until fragrant. Add the oyster sauce mixture. Stir mixture, add ribs and mushrooms. Stir together, cover with lid and transfer to oven to cook for 1.5 hours or until fork tender. Turn the meat occasionally.
Voila!! Serve with over herb mashed potatoes.
Amazingly Simple Churros
So I had puff pastry in the freezer. Saw churros being made on tv and I thought it would be genius to fry the puff pastry for my very own churros.
Simple, simple, simple.
I cut the puff pastry into strips (thaw it 1st obviously). Heat canola oil 370 F. Fry the strips until golden brown. Transfer to paper toweled plate. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar while hot. Serve alongside nutella. If that can't impress someone, then they are not worth impressing!
Sooo I bought this blouse in NY and put together this outfit, my wonderful boyfrwend informed me...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Coast Guard crews are checking on an area of brown or dark red water near a Mississippi River pass south of New Orleans to see whether it's oil or an algae bloom.
Jeff Hall, spokesman for the Unified Area Command, says the Coast Guard sent two flights Saturday morning over the West Bay area near Venice. One boat was in the area and another was headed there.
Hall told The Associated Press that if the discolored water has hydrocarbons, tests will be done to determine whether the oil came from the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Times-Picayune reported in its Saturday editions that fishermen have spotted what appeared to be miles-long strings of weathered oil.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feelingSamuel Taylor
We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a "getaway." We cannot love and be limited.Alfred Adler
Human life may be regarded as a succession of frontispieces. The way to be satisfied is never to look back.William Hazlitt
There is a woman who spent her life loving that evil creature: she died. I'm sure she's a saint in heaven right now. You are going to kill me the way he killed that woman.That is what's in store for all of us who have unselfish hearts.Arthur Rimbaud
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.Thomas Jefferson
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.Elie Wiesel
Joy exists only in self-acceptance. Seek perfect acceptance, not a perfect life.Anon xxxx
Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.Anon
Life is not made up of great sacrifices and duties but of little things: in which smiles and kindness given habitually are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort.Sir Humphry Davy
Getting money is not all a man\'s business; to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.Samuel Johnson

We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.Edwin Markham
Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And omorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn.Kalidasa
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would be realize it, than to ccept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.Henry Miller

2. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2phtimo Nov 20, 2012 9:56 AM (in response to 1eyedjack)
thanks but this I have done already: this is 4.1.1
my question is: when will 4.2 being rolled out ?
3. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2rbryinc Nov 20, 2012 12:23 PM (in response to phtimo)
Two out of the four carriers have not even gotten 4.1 yet. There should be a pool as soon as something is released about how long till the first person asked when the next release will be. Enjoy what you just got. There is always going to be a newer release, it will get here when it gets here
4. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2gtwalling Nov 20, 2012 1:02 PM (in response to 1eyedjack)
Lets just say that 4.1.2 is slated for mid next year. I know you want 4.2, but it is what it is.
5. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2phtimo Nov 20, 2012 1:05 PM (in response to phtimo)
oups. user forum
I was looking for answer and I got lectured. amazing. also since I left IOS precisely tired of
that kind of stuff.
I can close that thread.
thank you (?)
6. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2luvduchovny Nov 20, 2012 2:07 PM (in response to phtimo)
You got "lectured" because no one here can answer the question of when 4.2 will be released. In the meantime have you tried clearing the partition system memory? It helps in some ways better than factory reset. I've copying this from another post, give it a try and see if it fixes your issues:
Wipe cache partition to clear system memory
If the phone is not working correctly, you may need to reset it. Whereas a hard reset deletes all your information, clearing the system cache does not erase any personal data or settings.
To wipe the cache partition, follow these steps:
- Turn off the device.
- Press and hold these three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
- When the phone vibrates, let go of the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Homekey.
- When the Android System Recovery screen appears, let go of the Volume Up and Home keys.
- Press the Volume Down key to highlight wipe cache partition.
- Press the Power key to select and wipe the cache partition.
- After the wipe is finished, with reboot phone now highlighted, press the Power key to restart the phone.
If that doesn't work it's possible that jellybean boinked your phone. (It did mine). If that's the case you may have to get the phone replaced.
7. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2tcope Nov 20, 2012 6:28 PM (in response to phtimo)
You are getting "short" replies but we just got done reading posts from people whining about getting 4.1. Now that it's been here for a couple of days... this comes along. It never ends. The bottom line is the answer is _always_... you will get it when you get it.
In this case Samsung has not even said which devices will get 4.2. They have only stated certain Galaxy devices will get it. So they are not even close to being done with the coding. Once they are done, they will give it to TM. TM will then need to tweak the OS before it's released. So I'd say you probably have 6 months or so before it's released. That is just a _wild_ guess but probably close.
8. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2harmonious Nov 20, 2012 10:54 PM (in response to phtimo)
There is nothing wrong with your question phtimo. Unfortunately, we have to share this world with rude people and etc. Simply ignore the ones whom are being rude and negative is all you have to do. Don't even give them the satisfaction that what they say matters if they can't be respectful. -Harmonious
9. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2theartiszan Nov 20, 2012 11:19 PM (in response to harmonious)
Can we ignore the ones that don't read others posts or search when the question has probably already been answered then?
10. Re: Jelly Bean 4.2tidbits Nov 20, 2012 11:22 PM (in response to harmonious)
The honest answer will always be a few months after the source is released. The Nexus devices don't count because the OS is developed on them and no one sees the code until Google releases the code. If the S3 does get 4.2 it Will be Sometime after this year.

Condensed Milk
What is condensed milk? Condensed milk is prepared by evaporating a large quantity of water from the milk, which yields a thick liquid. Commercial production of condensed milk involves adding extra sugar and the final product is shelf stable. What is condensed milk? The concept of condensed milk was first initiated by Gail Borden who was attempting to make canned milk that could be easily transported. The production of condensed milk involves pasteurizing milk; the milk is then transferred to a sealed evaporator. Condensed Milk is very popular and is easily available in grocery stores.
Condensed Milk Nutritional Information
1 fl oz of condensed milk is provides many different nutrients. Condensed milk has 3.3g of fats, which fulfills 5 percent of the daily fat requirement. Out of the total fats, 2g is saturated fats. Condensed milk nutrition facts have 123 calories and 13mg of cholesterol. Condensed milk provides 20.8g of carbohydrates and 3g of proteins. This milk also has minerals such as Potassium and Calcium. Condensed milk nutrition facts fulfill 11 percent of the daily calcium requirement. Condensed milk fulfills 2 percent of the daily Vitamin C requirement as well.
Condensed Milk Health Benefits
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is vital due to a variety of reasons. Vitamin C tends to act as an antioxidant which fights free radicals in our body; protecting us from a plethora of diseases. Vitamin C also helps regulates blood pressure levels which helps prevent cardiac disease such as heart attack. It also reduces the risk of hypertension.

All this really proves is that RadioShack found out last minute that they were getting the iPad 2 for some of their stores. The real question is do any of the stores have any left in stock? Do some leg work instead of just browsing the net like we can do ourselves. ;)
Umm are you kidding me? I wasted battery life clicking on this link? Makes one wonder the success of the launch? What, I see, so they should have played it up to be a big deal when the inbvntory levlss were going to be extremy low? Gosh I wonder if it has been a successful launch so far.
The inventory provided to Radio Shack was a joke. The South State Street store in Chicago had 2; Yes only TWO. I think they rolled out to Radio Shack to give the perception of a larger inventory with more retailers offering the device for sale.
True–at the Radio Shack I went to this morning there were only 6 people waiting (vs the 30 at a nearby Apple Store that one of the people in line had visited first). But the store only had 4 iPads, so Radio Shack is probably wise to keep it low key for now.
Why should RadioShack bother creating buzz about their iPad 2 sales when all of their stock will be gone in 5 minutes anyways?
How stock market works… 'analysts' drive down stock price with rumors and negative headlines so that regular idiotic individuals panic and sell off their shares, and their bank (institutional investors) can buy them up cheap; then price gets driven up before earnings, because they all know that Apple will blow away their 'conservative' estimates, at which time they sell to make a big profit. Look at the trends… it's all a game for them to profit so if you don't know what you're dong, stay out of the market and don't fall for the trap… it's not a casino.
It's very obvious that they do not want people calling every store bothering there under staffed stores.
just stop by a Radio Shack on the upper west side in NYC. They have them in stock, but will not sell without a warranty plan (for the 16 GB wifi, the warranty play is $69).
I was second in line at the Nashville store arriving 1/2 hour before the opening. I think 2 people got in line behind me. While they did not have the 64 gig they had the others and some 3G versions.
It was easy to buy and I was able to cancel my apple order that was not coming till the 26 of April (maybe…)
By the way – happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday to me.

Happy BD to you Mike. You are one of the lucky ones to get an iPad for your birthday. Get a birthday cake app and blow out the candles. Yay
They won't be carrying the 64GB version. Having to purchase the extra warranty is bad too.
Uhhh, Well, its the same with the BestBuy and Walmart website, it says, in store only.
Apple wants all online sales for itself, that is the better story, compared to this incomplete article.
Just called local Silicon Valley Mountain View RS, they said only the SF stores have them, MV isn't getting
I was first in line at Radio Shack this morning, having heard yesterday that they would be in stock, calling around to the various stores, and confirming which would have it. I got there at 5:30am. By the time they opened at 9, there were around 15 people in line. When they opened, they informed us they only had 5 iPads in stock, and only one 3G – which happened to be the 32G in black, like I wanted. But they told us they were selling them in "bundles," meaning we are forced to buy the AppleCare Protection Plan (and they tried to push accessories on us, too). They wouldn't let us buy an iPad without buying the AppleCare.
I tried to return the AppleCare later that day, without opening the box, and they were very nasty about not accepting returns of AppleCare, even though it was unopened and unregistered. Then he told me he could only return it if I returned the unopened iPad, too.
He wouldn't return it. I heard him chuckling to his coworker when I walked out of the store, defeated. The iPad is literally the ONLY thing that would ever have me walk into a RadioShack in the first place. But once you get a new customer into your store for the first time…you act like @$$holes? Jokes on you Radio Shack. I'm contacting the BBB.
Radio Shack is late to the party. People are buying their iPad 2 online now as we chat. A good place to get an iPad 2 online is http://www.digitalundivide.com
Why was there not a single Wi plus g 16g unit in the shipment at the Radio Shack store in the mall in Jonesboro, Ar. ?
Was at the Manhattan Radio shack today, Big sign Ipad 2, was also listed on the Website, Absolutely NO ipad in store. Foolish me.
You are NEVER required to by the APPLE CARE. No store can "bundle" and force you to buy.
They don't mention it on their homepage because they don't have any Ipads to sell. Only two stores in my home state of Colorado was listed on their website as carrying the Ipad 2, one of which is in downtown Denver and the other about 150 miles away on the western side of Colorado. The downtown Denver store only got in two Ipads (which of course they sold immediately). Two units at your downtown store in a large U.S. city!? WTF!? Why even bother carrying the damn thing?
Radio Shack sucks… why does this store still exist???

Tottenham are reported to have agreed to a deal to sign Loic Remy from Queen's Park Rangers but the French international striker may not be at White Hart Lane next season.
Tottenham, in their search for a striker, are reported by goal.com, to have reached agreement to pay the £9m release clause for QPR's French international goalscorer, Loic Remy, but the player may not be a Spurs player next season as he waits until after the World Cup Finals to weigh up his options for next season.
Loic Remy was a target for Tottenham three seasons ago when Harry Redknapp was manager. Spurs watched Remy who was playing for Marseille at the time but took no action in January, 2012 when a striker could have seen Tottenham finish in a Champions League place.
Twelve months later, Remy joined Redknapp at Loftus Road but despite scoring 6 goals he couldn't prevent QPR being relegated. He spent last season on loan at Newcastle and scored 14 goals, including the only goal at White Hart Lane, but is set to leave Rangers even though they have returned to the Premier League.
While Spurs are thought to have reached agreement on the deal, it will not be completed until after the World Cup in Brazil where Remy is a member of the French squad. Remy won't commit to a move until he assesses the interest from other clubs. Towards the end of last season, he spoke of wanting to play for a club in the Champions League, indicating that he wasn't going to remain at St. James' Park even though Newcastle were keen to sign him on a permanent deal.
In a report by ESPN in April, 27-year-old, Loic Remy is quoted as saying,
I want to join a great European club, to play at the highest level.
Recent reports have suggested that Arsenal are keen on signing Remy who was at the Emirates for Arsenal's final home game at the end of the season.
Hmm…interesting – "@SkyFootball: Loic Remy spotted at the Emirates. http://t.co/XdBCQq6yKT #SuperSunday pic.twitter.com/2dR56Vbv2L" #Arsenal
— Chris Tomlinson (@ctomlins24) May 4, 2014
The Telegraph had a recent report linking Remy with Arsenal with the player very keen on a move to the Emirates.
Reluctant Remy!
Loic Remy is obviously reluctant to commit to Tottenham at present and as Spurs know from past experience, lack of Champions League football is a major problem when trying to complete a top signing. Could Remy become this summer's Willian who having agreed a move to White Hart Lane, ended up at Stamford Bridge once Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho hi-jacked the proposed deal.
Remy will also want to be certain that Tottenham's current top players like Hugo Lloris and Jan Vertonghen aren't going to move on and leave the team severely weakened after he has completed a transfer to White Hart Lane.
Tottenham could have a long wait before a final decision is reached on this particular transfer.

text: While I agree that doing the research before you do the piece for competition is the ideal and much simpler, for someone relatively new to competition the other way can be good, too. There is a great deal of learning that takes place when you settle down to try to document something you have done because it felt right. When it comes down to writing the paper, if you detail what you have learned and what you would do differently the next time based on this then that too in my book would make good documentation and expand the learning process. Learning and sharing after all is, ultimately, the goal and we must start somewhere.

I don't have any specific museums to recommend with medieval textile collections, but Chicago Institute of Art has a large textile collection, don't know if any is in our period: http://www.artic.edu/ The Hammond castle was built by a famous inventor, who also loved medieval antiquites and outfitted his home with them; there maybe reproductions: http://www.hammondcastle.org/ And of course there is the V&A in England at: http://www.vam.ac.uk/ You may have to do a lot of google searches for other museums/libraries.

The Kansas City Royals have scored just 4 runs while losing two game against the AL Central defending champions, the Detroit Tigers. The Royals will not be unable to unseat the Tigers if they can't find a way to beat them.
VITAL INFORMATION (Note: This game has been postponed due to weather. Will update if the game gets going.)
WHO: Kansas City Royals (0-2) @ Detroit Tigers (2-0)
WHERE: Comerica Park
WHEN: Monday, April, 3rd – Noon, CDT
TELEVISION: Fox Sports Kansas City
LIVE STREAM: MLB.TV (paid service)
If you are stuck at work, or away from your television, or out of area, we have you covered. You can catch the Kansas City Royals against the Detroit Tigers at MLB.TV. This is a paid service, but you live out of area, it is a great way to catch Royals action all season long.
Rookie Yordano Ventura will take the mound for the Kansas City Royals, facing off against Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers. Ventura made three starts last September for Kansas City, going 15.1 innings with a 3.52 ERA and a 1.239 WHIP. Sanchez went 14-8 in his first campaign with the Tigers, putting up an impressive 2.57 ERA and a 1.154 WHIP.
The Royals would love to see Ventura become just the third starting pitcher since the 1980's to be a home grown star, joining Kevin Appier and Zack Greinke. Stopping a 2-game losing streak would be a start.
Neither team has been very impressive at the plate thus far, but the Royals have just 4 runs on 13 hits in 19 innings. They are 1-16 with runners in scoring position thus far.
Norichika Aoki, Mike Moustakas, and Alcides Escobar are all still looking for their first hit of the season.
Alex Gonzalez was the hitting star in game one of the series, and Ian Kinsler drove in both runs in game two. The Royals as looking for a hitting hero of their own in game three.

Some snowmobile enthusiasts hope they'll soon have "everything" they need for a successful winter recreation season.
In recent years, both the Edwardsburg Snowmobile club,
And the Four Flags Snowmobile club received state grants to purchase equipment to groom their snowmobile trails.
For the Edwardsburg club alone,
The price tag was about 150-thousand dollars.
The investments have yet to pay off due to a lack of snow:
Something both clubs expected to get for free.
According to Jason Bentzer with the Edwardsburg Snowmobile club, "we acquired this machine three years ago
and it's still pretty much brand new, cause of a lack of snow."
The Edwardsburg club maintains some 99-miles worth of trails that wind through southwestern Michigan.
All the work is done by volunteers. For more information on the club visit the following web address: http://www.edwardsburgsnow.com/index.htm

text: A comedy set in a dull as bitter North West pub, where the beer mats are stained, the alcohol knocked-off but at least everyone knows your name. Co-written by Craig Cash (aka dopey Dave of The Royle Family), Early Doors is a rewardingly dry comedy that, unsurprisingly (given that Caroline Ahern, as well as Peter Kay, gets a Special Thanks credit), shares similar sensibilities with The Royle Family. In fact, you wouldn't bat an eyelid if Ricky Tomlinson wandered into The Grapes, moaning about the prices at his usual boozer, The Feathers, while scratching his arse... High-praise indeed.

Are you looking to play Minecraft, and think that you need to own and host your own Minecraft server yourself? It's true, hosting a Minecraft server can be done, if your upload speed, download speed, and your computer's RAM meet certain requirements. Hosting a Minecraft server can be done on different platforms, and each platform will come with its own specifications, install instructions, and requirements. Sorting those all out, especially if you're not the techie know-how type, can be frustrating and time-consuming – especially if all you want to do is play a game.
Instead, rent a server from us at Aim2Game and we'll take care of all the behind-the-scenes stuff for you, while giving you complete access to your control panel through the web console and tons of other features too. Those control panels are the best in the business, because they're backed by state-of-the-art server hardware and have the fastest gigabit connections you'll find.
Even if you have a full understanding of how Minecraft servers work and are confident that you can install them easily, there can still be problems. Problems with server configuration, plugins, and connections are just a few of the most common problems encountered even when installation goes relatively smoothly and is done by someone comfortable working within the server environment. These are just a few of the things you won't need to worry about when you play Minecraft with Aim2Game.
Sign up for a reasonable price, get instant setup and instant access to the best servers in the industry, and leave the hosting stuff to us. All you really want to do is play a game, and your frustration should be left for the enemies, not spent on setting up your server. Contact us today and let us do it for you.

Alec Baldwin took even more unrelenting shots at American Airlines last night -- mocking his recent cell phone debacle on "Saturday Night Live" ... even referring to himself as an "American treasure."
Among the awesomeness ... Alec -- pretending to be the pilot of his ill-fated flight -- explained why he slammed the lavatory door so loudly during his alleged standoff with a flight attendant ... claiming, "Words with Friends" can be "frustrating."
Watch the clip.
If he thinks he's a treasure, then he is completely delusional, on top of being an arrogant bully. Kind of sad, really.
For God's sakes, give it up already. You are an old, boring, and no-talent hasbeen...just go away!
This guy is a idiot.
Hollywood narcissism at its apex…if I just make a joke of my stupidity on a comedy show the humor of situation will invert and show the airline as the real problem, after all, doesn't everyone know they're in bankruptcy? Doesn't everyone know that our electronics really don't interfere with anything; they just make those speeches because the airlines try to oppress the little people? Doesn't everyone know that those of us uneducated narcissistic a-holes act like people who really did things for a living and have tangible accomplishments outside of acting…we're the important ones and even though we're rich and have access to political power we should never have, we're just like all of you, we sympathize with your plight…but we sure as hell don't want to be you. I'm important damn it, I'm Alec Baldwin!
Oh how they rally for their own. I could picture just about any other SNL alum or frequent guest of their show doing the same prima dona thing on a commerical flight. They all seem to be cut from the "me first" cloth. They feign support for poor people, but dare be caught having to sit with them or live near them and they go tyrannical. Its better that the "little people" are not among them when they have to go about actually living their hoty toty pampered lives. Air time any time you want it Alec. Your one of us.
whoa people. relax. i think he's clearly making fun of himself and admitting his actions were foolish. the joke is that he's delusional and thinks he's a treasure. by doing so he is really saying sorry for being an idiot.
Are yall serious? alec baldwin is one of the most insightful and best actors of the generation. **** AA. Alec baldwin all the way
Not cool of him to mock his rude and obnoxious behavior. He only cares about himself and is unable to see others' point of view.
Wow. He really doesn't get it, does he? Now he's impersonating a southern pilot (who is obviously dumb and ignorant) to sarcastically apologize to himself? He acted like a child on the plane. He should have done a parody of laughing at himself, that would have been funny, but nope. From now on, he should forget about planes and fly on his own inflated ego.
So pathetic what the LEFT finds funny.
Dear Alec,
You are NOT an American treasure, the soldiers who gave up and give up their lives are American treasures.
You are just a guy who chooses to be abusive to others, that is no treasure. Your abusive behavior is a MEASURE of your character, and a REAL man does not react, under any cir****tance, in an abusive or combative manner.
A REAL American Treasure of a man, regards and respects others, has honor and integrity, he does not verbally abuse his little girl or any other figure of authority, a real man obeys rules and aviation regulations.
You are not an American treasure. You are an embarrassment to the measures of a man.
Your Truth. Own it.
I thought this was pretty funny. American Airlines made too much of a big deal about him playing a game. Saying cellphones can dangerously affect an airplane is like saying they're capable of causing brain cancer. Or exploding in flames at a gas station. You're more likely to be struck by lightening.
Everyone commenting so far needs to lighten up. Stop being so dang serious. Laugh at the silly things that happen in life, and stop being judgmental.
@9 and @10- You hit the nail on the head. It was a great skit and he was definitely making fun of himself. People, if you didn't see the skit, there is no way that you can make an informed comment...

This is the second Venture that we have
purchased. The first was in 1996. We
purchased the Venture again due to the
exceptional performance that we had
with our first car. Not problem over
all the years that we had the van. The
new van is just like the old one as far
as reliability so far and the two
issues that we had with the first (
lighted mirrors and horn honking when
car locked) were corrected on the newer
model. We are very pleased with this

We purchased this WB edition specially
for our kids, and long drives and

can sit without any problem. Fuel
consumption is good, and we are getting
18/26 as per books. Engine is fine, but
need more power, as some time feel that
this big box is not moving. There is no

sibling (Montana) its there..over all
great buy, saved over 7000 on msrp.

Replace my 2000 Chevy blazer with 2002
Venture WB edition. Nice minivan, saw
all other vans and found every thing
in this van and then some. With 2 kids
its fun to go out for long drive in
this DVD equiped van and carying all
the bags and toys in not a problem.
Chevy enginers should consider the
windsheild wipers, Odometer rest,
cruise contol and center consoule as
improvements to the van.

We wanted more room, so we traded in
our Chevy Blazer for the Venture. We
were close to buying the Montana Vision
Van, but were able to get a better deal
from Chevy. The Venture has loads of
features geared toward families on the
move...DVD player w/remote, in-dash 6
CD changer, air compressor, rear
organizer, seating for 8...I could go
on and on. We are extremely pleased!

Dating Apps More Popular than Websites
The constant migration from surfing websites with a computer to using a smartphone app to tell us what we want and keep us connected to friends has extended to online dating, according to a new study.
Flurry, a mobile analytics company, published a report that reveals dating apps are now used more often than the websites of those same dating services. A year ago, dating website usage for subscribers averaged 8.4 minutes per day, while dating app usage was at 3.7 minutes. But in June 2011, dating apps had overtaken website usage: 8.4 minutes per day for apps and 8.3 minutes for websites.
The advantage of a dating app is clear: Users can access their profile and update from anywhere with their phone, whereas website users only check the website when they are home. The study showed that website users usually spent those 8 minutes per day in large chunks, but app users opened their dating app over 5 times a day for only 1.5 minutes per session.
The study also showed that a larger portion of smartphone owners use dating apps than Internet users are using dating websites. Approximately 13 percent of all Internet users have signed up with a dating website, but 17 percent of all app users have used a dating app.
To top it off, dating apps are a growing industry. The number of dating app users is growing faster than the number of people using all apps. Total app user growth is growing by 125 percent each year, but dating app use has grown 150 percent in the same period.
It's no surprise because electronic dating is big business. A separate study estimated that 1 in 5 single people (who have access to the Internet) are using a dating site. And 17 percent of recent marriages happened thanks to dating websites.

2014 Indian action crime thriller film, "Gunday", that is written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra has excellent starting doing good business on its first week, reports Box Office Capsule on Sunday February 16, 2014.
However, the Indian Bollywood action film saw a great fall on Saturday and then rising like a phoenix from its pyre on Sunday to come out fairly good. The film is to face the most important litmus test on Monday.
The fact worth noticing here is that the film performed considerably well in single screens but multiplexes performed well in selected regions only. The film did well in CI, CP, Delhi/UP, East Punjab and Bihar whereas its box office collections in Gujarat, Mumbai and Mysore were just good.
Gunday box-office collections day wise
|1st Day - Friday
|Rs 16.12 crores
|2nd Day Saturday
|Rs 13.25 crores
|3rd Day Sunday
|Rs 16.90 crores
|India Total
|Rs 45.65 crores
|Overseas collectios
|Rs 16.10 crores
|Total Worldwide
|Rs 61.75 crores
Starting with 16.12 crores on the opening day, it earned Rs. 12.63 on Saturday and bounced back on Sunday with its box office collection tally touching 16.90 crores that took the total domestic collection tally of to Rs. 45.65.
If we add the overseas collection of 16.10 crores to the domestic collection total, the tally goes to Rs. 61.75 crores.
From here onwards, getting over 60 crore nett week is a cakewalk, whereas the expectations to cross 65 crores nett week will depend on weekday biz.
The film is expected to cross 75 crores nett lifetime easily but touching the 100 crore nett will be a tight rope walking.

1. Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver was released
2. Easter chocolates
3. Firefly
You know, taking care of my neighbor's dogs while he's away, just ate a chocolate muffin and OH MY GOD J.K. ROWLING WILL BE RELEASING A NEW BOOK SOON????
Apparently it won't have anything to do with our favorite boy wizard, she's considering it an "adult novel" but still. I feel a little bit like a kid again. I get to look forward to a book written by JK Rowling. Feels good.
Turns out I was mistaken. Several months ago a friend of mine had me watch the first episode of Sherlock Holmes, and it was only until now that I recognized it. The second episode was quite good, but much darker than I thought. It could just be because it's one in the morning and I have to get up for school in six hours and I'm sick but, yeah, I'm a bit flustered. Overall though, well made, interesting story, and I look forward to watching these characters develop. However I think from now on I will 1. Never watch it again at night and 2. Only watch one episode at a time. The episodes are too long and too rich to try and watch multiple episodes in a row.
I'm sick of being on Tumblr and seeing all sorts of Sherlock references and getting none of them. I give up. I'm on episode one. I'll let you know how I like it.

Winter just doesn't seem to want to give up its grip. Monday was almost 80 degrees, yesterday was 21 degrees and high winds. We missed the severe weather and blizzards that went through west of us. Strange weather. The weather has been pretty good for the past couple of weeks. A little moisture but not enough. I was able to get the fence rebuilt around the garden and got some of the early things planted. Carrots, onions, and added to the garlic patch. The beets would have been planted if the weather hadn't turned nasty. Carol added to her grape vines also. It was a little early for them, but they were growing to much in the packages they came in. We covered them well so they should be ok. she also has some more asparagus and fruit trees coming, and more rhubarb ready to plant. I think she is also going to divide some of the plants already established. The horseradish is coming up good. I probably won't dig any of it this year. next year will be the year for it. Usually every 2-3 years. I will wait until September to see how it looks. Should only dig it in months with an "r" in them. I have a friend that makes the sauce, and it is good. Some of the best sinus clearing medicine that exists anywhere. We are also are planning to move our herbs and add to them also. We are planting some of these things in cattle mineral tubs. We can amend the soil to whatever we want and not have to be concerned about the hardpan clay. We are kind of doing a lot of experimenting this year. When the weather straightens up I will post some pics.

I don't know about this weather and when it will straighten up. We went from the high 70's, low 80's one day to extreme 20's with high winds, thunder, lightning, rain(all kinds), to ice and now it's starting to snow.
I'm dying to get my garden going.Replies
The weather finally cleared after 10 PM last night. Clear and cool this morning. We didn't get much moisture, just a sprinkling of snow and a lot of wind.Delete

The Asian Research Institute (ARI) at the National University of Singapore is convening a workshop on urban Asia's adaptation to climate change and implications for environmental/disaster governance. From the ARI website:
"Asia's urban transition has radically transformed the region's societies and its ecologies. The evidence is everywhere: factories and concrete tarmac have replaced Bangkok's wetlands; Japan's coastal communities are surrounded by ever-growing seawalls; and in China, smog has become a major political concern. If we are indeed living in a period marked by the deep effects of humans on our environment, what many have called the Anthropocene, then such phenomena would seem to exemplify the stakes associated with these changes at their broadest levels. Yet, closer inspection reveals that such macro-level environmental changes are in fact enmeshed in micro-level social shifts, political contestations, and cultural transformations.
"For individuals and communities living in Asia's burgeoning mega-cities, growing provincial centers, and changing hinterlands, social and environmental rupture has become constant and routine, its logic embedded in everyday practices and emerging policies. In many parts of the region, disaster is no longer relegated to acute, isolated, untoward events; it is now the "new normal." Even when not coping directly with an ongoing disaster's impacts, many Asian communities are engaged in either pre-disaster preparation or post-disaster recovery. Moreover, state and non-state actors strategically invoke the memory, or threat, of changing environments in order to justify their own agendas, projects, and policies. Patterns of migration and resettlement, urban infrastructure development, capital investment, and social policy are co-produced along with these shifting environments, modifying social relations, exacerbating inequalities, and generating fierce political struggles. At stake in these conflicts are normative, pragmatic and theoretical questions about citizenship, about the shape and relations of the built and natural environments, about the respective roles of local and expert knowledge, and about the constitution of just and resilient communities, in an age of unprecedented transformation. The lived experience of such contestations, the disruption that provokes them, and the practices that produce that disruption, shows how the epochal Anthropocene is found in the normal, the routine, and the quotidian.
"We are calling for papers to explore The Quotidian Anthropocene in a focused workshop 16-17th October, 2014 at the National University of Singapore's Asia Research Institute. This call is open to scholars from a wide variety of disciplines including the Social Sciences and Humanities presenting diverse analysis from a variety of situated vantage points from across urbanizing Asia. Potential papers may address, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- How do quotidian practices in Asian communities produce or respond to the massive ecological transformations? What sorts of contestations emerge out of our changing environment? What might these struggles tell us about new political practices and emerging forms of environmental/disaster governance?
- What ruptures or sites of socio-political conflict expose the new hybridities and engagements between humans and the planet?
- What are the consequences of living in an age of environmental change marked by chronic and periodic disasters? What are the politics of space, place, and memory in a world of frequent disruption? How does the threat or experience of disaster come to inflect contests over the right to the city?
- What kinds of projects—social, technological, infrastructural, economic, political—arise from and/or emerge in response to the changing planet? What forms of knowledge, contestation, and practice are invoked or produced by such projects?
- How do experts and officials engage with the diverse sorts of constituencies likely to be caught by such shifts? How do publics engage with experts and authorities? How do all these actors deal with ongoing material and ecological transformations?
"Workshop presenters may explore these issues through studies of contemporary and historical cases from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives. In exploring such topics, The Quotidian Anthropocene: Reconfiguring Environments in Urbanizing Asia will offer a window into the production and re-ordering of local, regional, and global ecologies. We will consider how, even as seismic ecological rearrangements occur, human actors — including experts, authorities, and citizens — produce, feel, respond and adapt to such changes. This workshop will interrogate these changes from situated vantage points across Asia's urban-rural matrix as a means of considering how the Anthropocene is experienced in everyday life and how past and present struggles are shaping its future. It will provide insight into how such political endeavors reimagine the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, as well as the roles played by local and expert knowledge, in re-making the new Asian city and preparing it for life in this precarious era.

During the 18th century, a peaceful
colony of settlers enjoying the island treasures
they discovered, suddenly had their serenity
interrupted. The invaders were those who called
themselves the LEGO SYSTEMâ"¢ Pirates of the
For years, the Pirates had been searching
for the same buried treasures that the settlers
were now claiming as their own. This, of course,
disturbed the Pirates, as they knew the doubloons
(Spanish gold coins) the settlers found had
belonged to their ancestors.
On a remote rocky island, Captain Red
Beard and his crew of Pirates established the
ultimate command post. Called the Rock Island
Refuge, it was the perfect haven for the entire
crew of the Black Seas Barracuda. From this
outpost, Captain Red Beard commanded the
efforts of the other buccaneers at the Forbidden
Island and Shipwreck Island enclaves.
The day was drawing near when the
treasure chest full of doubloons would once
again belong to the Pirates. Before that day
could arrive, however, Governor Broadside and
the other settlers would have to be overcome.

adventures of the LEGO SYSTEM Pirates of

moreTo say F**k It feels good. To stop struggling and finally do what you wish . . . to ignore what everyone is telling you and just go your own way . . . feels really great. In this inspiring and humorous book, John C. Parkin suggests that saying F**k It is the perfect Western expression of the Eastern spiritual concept of letting go, giving up, and finding real freedom by realizing that things dont matter so much (if at all). Its a spiritual way that doesnt require chanting, meditating, or wearing sandals. And its the very power of this modern-day profanity that makes it perfect for shaking us Westerners out of the stress and anxiety that dominate our daily lives. So, find out how to say F**k It to all your problems and concerns. Say F**k It to all the shoulds in your life, and finally do what you wantno matter what other people think! less

I know everyone says this, but I've been lurking on here for probably about 2 years. I recently celebrated my 25 birthday and I feel like every other aspect of my life is falling into place. Repairing my figure is the only thing I really feel like I have left to accomplish at this point in my life.
I had my daughter over 3 years ago and I've never quite been able to get back to my pre-baby shape/weight. I was 120 before I had my daughter, basically a stick person with a big head. Lol. Now I'm 140 and I just don't like the way my weight sits on my body. I notice it mostly in my face and my love handles. My stomach doesn't bother me much, but if I'm going to get it fixed, might as well do it right.
I'd almost be happy being lipo'd back into my previous buttless skinny shape, but I figure that they can just put that fat to good use and give me some awesome curves.
I want a BBL more for lipo sculpting a sexy shape. The butt will be an added bonus.
So far I've only been seriously considering Yily and Campos. The US doctors prices have jumped up so much in the last few years and I havent seen many that contour the way Yily and Campos do. More natural looking. Salama's butts sometimes look square to me and Jimerson's are too much booty for my self.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for doctors?

Wilberto Cortez os the best in the U.S.. I want to go to him but he is pricy, but sclupts very well. Best I've seen in the states. U may want to setup payments with his office in Texas
- Reply
I agree with lisa7181, dr Cortes is the best in the us, knows how to give tiny waist and nice round bottoms...he can lipo great, but expensive $10,200 for bbl only but that includes lipo to inner thigh back flanks and armpit as well as stomach
Thanks ladies! Finally got a chance to see his work I'm definitely impressed. I didn't want to finance the surgery amount but I might have to think about it. I want to avoid complications. Do you know how long you have to stay in town for the surgery?
Seriously considering Ghurani
I've recently had correspondence with Dr. Ghurani who is my top choice for the surgery in the US. I'm curious about what his fee maybe now. I've read stories of people paying vastly different prices based on whether he did their surgery through elite or vanity. I'll call the office tomorrow and see what the rate is. Hopefully right around 8k. Less would be awesome but I'm not really sure how much more is be willing to pay above 8k. Thanks for all the feedback when I ask my questions. Lol

How many days did you guys stay after surgery?

Scheduled My Surgery 5.22.14
Hey ladies!!! Super excited. Just scheduled my surgery with Dr. Ghurani at EPS. Looks like I'll be in Miami for Memorial Day weekend, avoiding all the ratchetness. So excited. I'll update later. So many questions, especially money related. Did anyone else finance part of their surgery? I've got 5 on it but I need to finance the rest. Care Credit? Other institutions? Let me know I want to have the best experience possible. Thanks!!!

Hate to break it to ya hun but Memorial Day weekend in Miami is really wild! But good luck on your surgery and Happy Healing!

Yoshida's Udon 吉田のうどん
Te-uchi UdonFujiyoshida's Favorite Dish
by Phillip Cummings
Fujiyoshida is not only known for its proximity to Japan's iconic mountain; the city also has a rich history of making delicious noodles. People travel from far and wide to eat 'Yoshida Udon' at one of approximately 60 local shops that have mastered this unique and tasty dish.
Yoshida Udon has been around for a long time. Japanese flour-based noodles are said to have come from the Kansai region (Osaka/Kyoto). In Fujiyoshida, te-uchi udon, is a thick, hearty, and chewy noodle that is unique to this region.
Aside from the texture, its taste stands out. It's said that the pure water used to make the noodles and broth makes all the difference - as proven in failures to duplicate the simple recipe in other locales.
In addition, a batch of te-uchi udon noodles is made daily, usually in full view of the customers. The recipe for the noodles is quite simple, involving not much more than flour, salt, and water, but the rapid preparation gives them their "backbone." Yoshida's style of te-uchi udon is famous for its firmness, and is made from scratch and not allowed to soak or boil very long. One interesting fact is that in Japan, udon is usually made from American flour, which is said to make better noodles than local flour.
Time to Eat!
The most disappointing thing about Yoshida udon is that it's usually only eaten for lunch. Only a few shops are open in the evening. The reason is that while it is easier to eat out for lunch, most people dine at home for dinner. However, it is still possible to find a restaurant serving udon for dinner or as a late night snack after a round of drinks with co-workers. A good bowl of udon will make one break out in a sweat and open the sinuses. Apparently, its also known for being a good cure for hangovers.
Ordering and Eating
The udon of Fujiyoshida is also unique for the way in which it is ordered and eaten. In some places you are supposed to write down the order and give it to the chef yourself (those of you lacking confidence in Japanese can just tell a server). A typical order includes the name of the menu item, size, and quantity. Most shops do not have book menus; patrons glance at the list hanging on a wall or in front of the kitchen and order before sitting down. Water or green tea is free and self-service.
Styles of Udon
There are a number of ways in which udon is served. Some shops make even more styles than those listed here, while others specialize in only one. The following is meant as an introduction to this variety.
Many udon shops offer an extra plate of noodles called "tama." This is an economical way to maximize noodle intake without buying another bowl of soup.
Here are some of the varieties most frequently encountered by the teuchi udon connoisseur. Vegetables found in udon include cabbage and green onions.
● Kake: Basic noodles and soup
● Tsuke: Noodles come on a separate plate; add 'em yourself
● Niku: Meat (it varies by the shop but pork, horse, and beef are typical)
● Tanuki: Similar to agedama with bits of fried tempura batter
● Kitsune: Fried tofu
● Tempura: Vegetable tempura
● Nikuten: Meat and vegetable tempura
● Tentama:Tempura and egg
● Chikara: Noodles and mochi
● Tsukimi: Raw egg
● Curry: Curry soup
● Yumori: Noodles in hot water topped with fish flakes; soy sauce and green onions added to taste
● Nabeyaki: High-temp vegetable stew prepared in special ceramic bowl. A healthy mix of vegetable, this dish is cited by dieticians as the most vitamin-rich of all soba and
I hope you enjoy exploring the myriad of teuchi udon restaurants in Fujiyoshida--there are about 60! Bon appetit and good hunting!
