Here we are once again. In spite of $trillion deficits as far as the eye can see, neither Obama nor the Democrats want to do anything about it. Please consider Obama to Urge Congress to Delay Automatic Spending Cuts
President Barack Obama will urge Congress to postpone automatic spending reductions scheduled to begin March 1 as Senate Democrats debate options for replacing part of the $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts.Obama will ask Congress to delay "deep, indiscriminate cuts to domestic and defense programs" in remarks scheduled for 1:15 p.m. today, according to a White House statement. "Uncertainty around the sequester is already having a negative impact on our economic growth," according to the statement. "The challenge we face right now is the fact that government spending is completely out of control," Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said yesterday on the Senate floor. "So to focus on a tax of any kind is to miss the point entirely."In an interview on Bloomberg Television today, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Democrats and the president have been "absent" in working toward fiscal discipline. "All we hear from this president is 'we've got to raise people's taxes.' That's just not the answer," said the Virginia Republican.Boehner of Ohio and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, both Republicans, have said they expect the full spending cuts to take effect.While Defense Secretary Leon Panetta once called the automatic cuts a "doomsday mechanism," Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said in a Jan. 29 interview that it is "more likely than unlikely" they will take effect.Defense CutsDefense programs would be cut by 7.3 percent, or $42.7 billion, during the last seven months of fiscal 2013. Non- defense budgets would be trimmed by $42.7 billion.Many programs that Democrats care most about would be reduced. Obama's Office of Management and Budget said the plan would make reductions of 2 percent to Medicare providers and 7.6 percent to non-defense programs such as temporary assistance for needy families.

Essay - This Paper is a Compare and Contrast Essay that Illustrates...
This paper is a Compare and Contrast essay that illustrates the characters of two stories named Miss Brill ***** A Rose For Miss Emily. The ***** shows how both characters were similar and different in their ways, personalities and attitude. This paper also highlights some quotes from the stories to support its claim.
Compare and Contrast
Rose ***** Miss ***** by William Faulkner and Miss ***** by Ka*****rine Mansfield relates the stories of two women who had been through a lot in ***** p*****st lives ***** were trying to relive their past in their present. The characters of both Miss Emily and ***** Brill are the same. While Miss ***** relates her ***** to ***** present with happy thoughts, Miss Emily considers her present an era that is trying to drift her away from her past. Both ***** characters of Miss Brill ***** Miss Emily symbolize loneliness. While Miss ***** tries to communicate with the outer world, Miss Emily on the other hand shuts herself away from her neighbors and town people. Both the characters are ***** same ***** yet so ***** in their ***** and their personality.
***** the beginning ***** both the stories, the audience very well realizes that both women ***** lonely. While ***** Brill tries to fight her loneliness away, Miss Emily tries to make her peace with it. Miss ***** would come out every Sunday ***** into the park ***** witness the people around ***** go through so much. She would sit in her seat and watch all the actors perform for her.
There were a number of ***** out this afternoon, far more than last Sunday. And the band sounded louder and gayer. That was because ***** Season had begun. For although the b***** played all the year round on Sundays, out of seas***** it was never the same. It was like some one playing ***** only ***** family to listen; it didn't care ***** it played if there weren't any strangers *****" (Katherine Mansfield, ***** Brill).
***** Emily finds ***** hard ***** let go of her ***** after her fat*****'s death. She, un***** Miss Brill possesses an obstinate outlook towards life and completely refuses to change her style of living. "After her father's ***** she went out very little; after her sweetheart went *****, people hardly saw ***** at all" (William Faulkner, A Rose For Miss Emily).
As a result ***** loneliness, ***** Miss Brill *****nd Miss ***** are dependent upon certain figures in their lives. Miss ***** is dependent ***** the band and her fur, ***** companions during the times of forlornness.
M*****s Brill put up her hand and touched her fur. Dear little thing! ***** was nice to feel it again. She had taken it out of its box th***** afternoon, shaken out the moth powder, given it a good brush, *****nd rubbed the ***** back into the dim ***** eyes... Oh, how sweet it was to see them snap at her again from the red eiderdown!... But the nose, which

The raw data obtained by physical sensors are initially modeled using fuzzy numbers which are then processed by the subsequent uncertainty management network (UMN) which is a new paradigm in propagating uncertainties through a sensor system model. The UMN partitions the processing blocks of the sensor system into a tree-like network structure of basic processing nodes which perform elementary arithmetic, logical, aggregation, or branching operations interconnected using multiple information propagation channels. The UMN allows the dynamic modelling of sensor systems by providing a confidence measure for the output of the sensor system which incorporates the changing conditions of the environment as well as the changes occurring within the sensor system itself. An example of an UMN-based vision system is illustrated to clarify the idea and the concepts

UK: Supplier steps in to save London black cab maker
By Graeme Roberts | 19 November 2012
Britain's iconic black cab maker could be rescued within weeks.
Manganese Bronze, the company which makes the TX4 cabs, went into administration when it was hit by an expensive recall following problems with steering boxes supplied from China.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company's administrators said a British supplier would now fix the problem allowing some 400 vehicles back onto the road.
Manganese Bronze is owned 20% by Geely, the Chinese car company that introduced the cab maker to the original steering box supplier. The massive recall was the final blow for a company already in financial difficulty having run into problems with a new IT system.
Four years ago, it was forced to recall 5,400 cabs after some of them caught fire and the company has failed to make a profit since 2007.
PricewaterhouseCoopers had been looking for a solution to the steering defect since taking control of the company last month. It said the new steering boxes will start to be fitted this week.
Geely refused to provide Manganese with US$23m rescue financing and the administrators were called in, putting 300 jobs at risk.
The new steering box will also be fitted to 500 unsold vehicles so they can be released to the market early next year.

Divis Tower
Coordinates: 54°36′00″N 5°56′32″W / 54.6000°N 5.9422°W
Divis Tower is a 200-foot (61 m) tall tower in Belfast, Northern Ireland. 20 floors tall, it was built in 1966 as part of the now-demolished Divis Flats complex. It is named after the nearby Divis Mountain. The complex of 850 flats, housing 2,400 residents was designed by architect Frank Robertson for the Northern Ireland Housing Trust.[1]
Due to Provisional IRA activity in the area, the British Army constructed an observation post on the roof in the 1970s and occupied the top two floors of the building. At the height of the Troubles, the Army was only able to access the post by helicopter.[2]
Divis Tower was a flashpoint area during the height of the Troubles. Nine-year-old Patrick Rooney, the first child killed in the Troubles, was killed in the tower during the Northern Ireland riots of August 1969, when the RUC fired a Browning machine gun from its Shorland armoured car into the flats.[3] The RUC claimed that it was coming under sniper attack from the tower at the time. Patrick Rooney's death took place during a day of street violence in the area. Chairman of the enquiry into the riots, Mr Justice Scarman, found the use of the Browning machine gun "wholly unjustifiable".[4]
On 12 May 1981, an Army sniper killed INLA member Emmanuel McClarnon from the top of Divis Tower on the night that Francis Hughes died on hunger strike.[5]
Following the IRA's statement that it was ending its armed campaign, the Army decided to dismantle the observation post. Dubbed a 'spy' post by Sinn Féin, removal of the observation post commenced on 2 August 2005.[6] In 2009 the top two floors of the tower floors were reinstated as residential properties. As part of a £1.1 million refurbishment programme by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive eight extra flats were provided.[2]
Divis Tower rises near the interface between Falls Road and Shankill Road. It is currently the sixth tallest building in Belfast.[citation needed]

Service Areas on Ruta Peregrino in Mexico
During Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Easter more than 2000 believers meet in the Jalisco region in the East of Mexico to follow the pigrim's way from Ameca to Talpa de Allende.
In order to create centres along the way where the pilgrims can rest and pray the municipalities involved have commissioned eleven artists and architects to develop architectural solutions for this out-of-the-ordinary context. An especially successful project is that by the Swiss architects at HHF Architects.
The HHF Lookout point
The HHF Lookout point×
The HHF Lookout Point is conceived as a supplementary and integrated viewing platform along the pilgrim's way. The winding entrance and exit give visitors the possibility of experiencing the architecture as a journey with the viewing platform as its high point, and not as a closed and separate building. Asymmetrical openings provide access to a hall below the platform. The interior walls are a formal, slightly out-of-alignment repetition of the outer facade, and the layout shows clearly that it has been designed on the basis of four tangential circles, between which the two stairways are located.
The almost exclusive use of exposed concrete and the repetitive, stylised archways give the building something archaic and in this way create a formal link to its pilgrimage context, which is rich in tradition and ritual.
Other participating artists and architects are Ai Weiwei, Luis Aldrete, Christ & Gantenbein, Dellekamp Arquitectos, Elemental, Alejandro Aravena, Godoylab, Omar Orlaineta, Periférica, Tatiana Bilbao | mxa, Toa taller.

Both the semi-slav and slav are played against the queen's gambit declined lines, but which one is better. They both got their pros and cons. The semi-slav is a solid opening, but it blocks the bishop in, so it will not be able to come out for a while. On the other hand the slav opts to let out the bishop though it often becomes a target. So which is better, I think the semi-slav
which do you reccomend
pellik your pretty much saying that if you know how to play the semi-slav well it is much better
sorry those were just some main lines
I love the meran it is the one I'm studying and I'm told is great at high level play
any other tips
I like 5.e3 a6 in the Semi-Slav. If your opponent doesn't know what they are doing, it's easy for Black to leave the opening with an advantage (the idea is to take on c4, play b5, and play Nc6, which is impossible after the usual Nbd7). The correct moves for White are generally considered to be 6.b3 and 6.c5. If you learn the replies to all of the wrong moves, and why they work, this is a useful weapon. I have very good results in this line.
The Cambridge Springs defense (5.Bg5 Nbd7 6.e3 Qa5 in the Semi-Slav, technically a line of the Queen's Gambit Declined that originally used to arise by the 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Nbd7 move-order with 5.Nf3 c6 6.e3 Qa5) is a good weapon, also 5...h6 is what I play. 5...dxc4 is very risky and well-analyzed; I wouldn't recommend it to anyone below master level.
Overall my vote goes to the Semi-Slav. I don't think it really requires as much theory knowledge as the Slav, having played both at 1500-1900 club level before advancing to the 2000+ stage, but what do I know.
From a technical standpoint, the Semi-Slav is stronger. That is to say, it fairs better in human-computer hybrid CC games than the straight Slav does. One of my wins on ICCF was against a fellow that felt he could play his pet 4...a6 Slav there. It did not go well for his computer:
nice games I'm playing one right now here is a link http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=57802390 if you want discuss it go ahead but don't give hints on future moves because at the moment it isn't finished and I don't want to be accused of cheating
Ahh, I remember the famous Topalov-Kramnik 2006 World Championship, where they played queen's gambit declined lines. Please look at those games it should be helpful.
Here's a link for my famous one: http://www.chess.com/games/view?id=1372429
I thought it would be nice to display the game
The botvinnik semi slav is the best
The botvinnik and anti-moscow are for computers. Besides, except for catching a patzer every now and again your opponent will only play it if they have 25 moves of theory memorized as well.
I'm well booked up for the meran also which is the most common in my experience.
You can play this way the blocked bishop will be in a fianchetto later a6 than the bishop comes to the b7 square
or this is wrong ?
you're right and then your going into the meran
Except about the move-order, 8...Bb7 is actually the most common move right away with a6 coming later.
I like a6 right away
others in this forum do you like a6 or Bb7 better
I've played 8...Bd6 and it's fine. I actually like 5...a6 best.
yeah a6 lover

"Trish Jensen is a one-woman laugh riot." -Sandra Hill, NY Times Bestselling Author
"Trish Jensen is the undisputed queen of comedic romance." -Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews
Two feuding divorce lawyers.
One infectious "love bug" virus.
The symptoms are hard to resist . . .
Paige Hart is blessed and cursed with a large, loving and. . .colorful Southern family. As the only lawyer in the clan, she can't say no when her cousin needs her help in a messy, no-holds-barred divorce. Tax attorney Paige squares off with Ross "the Snake" Bennett-one of the slickest divorce lawyers in the county. The case is going as well as an acrimonious, zinger-filled, wrangle of epic proportions can go until exposure to an infectious bug with an unusual side effect lands both lawyers in quarantine together.
The doctor was blunt. "There's a slight chance that the two of you came into contact with infectious materials when you were transported in that ambulance."
"A virus?" Paige squealed.
"What virus?" Ross demanded.
"The CDC believes it's a new strain of Tibetan Concupiscence Virus. Or TCV. The symptoms appear to be-somewhat unusual. Elevated heart rate, a warmth radiating under the skin, and heightened sexual awareness."
"Oh . . . my . . . God," Paige said faintly.
Ross crossed his arms. "I've never actually considered heightened sexual awareness a problem."
"That's it!" Paige said, pointing at Ross accusingly.
"That's what?" he and the doctor asked at the same time.
"The reason I was-was-never mind," Paige said, feeling her cheeks heat up. Like she'd ever admit she'd been making silent, non-lawyerly observations about the snake. Hospital gowns weren't supposed to look that good. Or deliciously skimpy.

Buying A Winter Beater Means Actually Changing Your Definition Of Reliability

Im using two plugins, genesis simple hooks and listings plugin for genesis and im facing a problem.
Whenever I try to use the [property_details] shortcode from listings plugin inside the genesis_post_content hook field from simple hooks plugin with a conditional test for the post type it gives me an error.
I try to use this code
<? php if ('listing'== get_post_type())
The shortcode works ok, when being written alone, just the [property_details] inside the hook field, and the conditional test also works if i try other action for the condition like echo "blablabla".
Could anyone give a help to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

John: I agree with others in the comments who have said that we should severely curtail all immigration to the US. We don't need more people. We can't support the ones we have already, and the Mexican invasion is putting a severe burden on tax payers at the moment. Build the wall, shut down immigration, and let's work on our infrastructure and trade agreements. Immigration should be put on the furthest back burner until we sort out the mess made by the last three presidents.

I adore Champagne Pop. The BECCA x Jaclyn Hill highlighter collaboration is one of the absolute best quality highlighters I have ever experienced. When Jaclyn designed this shade with BECCA you can tell it wasn't just about cashing in on a big brand endorsement. You can tell she really wanted to create something she could be proud of, and that would bring something extraordinary to the beauty market, and boy did she ever! I love Champagne Pop so much that I bought the full sized version as well as four of the Champagne Glow
Browsing category: Becca
This week the Makeup Wars team is sharing our Favorite Highlighters! I could have made this post humungous but I opted to instead focus on the few highlighters I reach for probably 80% of the time. I certainly have more in my stash that I adore, but these are my true go to's. All of my favorite highlighters are powder formulas as these are the kinds of products I tend to prefer. I have some absolutely stunning liquid and cream highlighters in my collection, but powders are what I typically reach for as I just find them quicker and
So I never did get around to writing a review, but I did get swallowed up in the Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop hype. I thought it looked absolutely beautiful, from what I was seeing online, but I thought "well, it's probably a bit too warm and dark for me so I don't need it". It isn't very often I find myself in a Sephora (the nearest on is 1.5 hours away) but about a month ago popped in one when I was in the city for a media event and right at the entrance was Champagne Pop on display. It was stunning! Of course I had to swatch it.
Today I am excited to share with you my Khaki Eyeshadow Collection. I was tempted to do bronze, and still will at a later date, but opted instead for one of my favourite fall colours; Khaki. Khaki is described as a dull brownish-yellow but it is much more beautiful than it's description. Shades range from khaki browns, to khaki greens, and even khaki greys. I love the shades because they are a great twist on a neutral, looks great with every eye colour, and you can create such beautiful and interesting smoky eye looks with them.
This week the Makeup Wars members are sharing our favourite illuminating products. This is probably one of my favourite cosmetics categories for two reasons. Firstly I have very dry, dull skin and I need a lot of assistance in the glow department. Secondly I am very picky when it comes to products in this category so finding the right product is always a struggle for me. I guess I kind of enjoy the challenge and the subsequent joy and satisfaction of finding a product that meets my expectations. Why am I so picky? Well when it
BECCA came out with their new Ultimate Eye Colour Quads ($40 US) quite some time ago but I had not gotten around to trying them out. I have Eclipsed to share with you today and I can tell you it was well worth the wait. The quads come in round rubberized compacts with metal embellishment just like their cheek and face compacts. I love this compact and sturdy packaging. There is no wasted space with teeny brushes or sponge tipped applicators. Unfortunately my palette arrived with one of the shades broken. I pressed most
First off I must apologize for how ridiculously pic heavy this post is. I love showing different lighting and angles to show how different something can look and I just couldn't seem to narrow this post down enough so I gave up. Pics away!Now that I've finished reviewing all of the items I ordered from the BECCA Balearic Love Collection I can post the second look I did using all the products. The links to all the individual reviews can be found in the product listing below. I was much happier with how it turned out by omitting the
I'm really pleased with the Line & Define Eye Pencil released with BECCA's Balearic Love collection. A gorgeous shimmering bronze on one end and a deep violet on the other. It's really one of the standout items from this collection.A combination liner and brightener in one, this convenient dual-ended pencil has a soft, smooth texture that glides on easily to line, define and brighten the eyes, while blending easily. The dark side of BECCA's Line & Define Pencil lavishly lines while the light side helps brighten and awaken tired
I think the Romanticism Eye Tint from BECCA's Balearic Love collection may have been the item I was most excited to try. I've always wanted to try BECCA's Lip and Cheek Tints as well as the Eye Tints. When I read Mauve Bronze as the shade description it went immediately into my Zuneta cart! An ingenious eye crème with a unique formulation that glides on as a crème and sets to a powder. This long-lasting, water-resistant, crease-resistant tint is easy to apply, offering adjustable levels of sheer to high pigment colour.Now being
BECCA Balearic Love Palette The BECCA Balearic Love Palette from their Winter 2011 Balearic Love Collection contains 3 powder eye shadows designed to give you the perfect smoky eye. The description from the BECCA Australia site is as follows: Create richly shaded, sensuous eyes in jewelled tones of bronzed plum and violet with this limited edition eye palette. A combination of velvet matte and soft shimmer textures, shades Atlas, Romal and Marcella blend effortlessly for an on-trend festive look. When I read that
OK so I barely leave the house so I haven't much occasion to rock a smoky eye but the Winter 2011 Collection from BECCA that just became available on Zuneta grabbed my attention as soon as I saw the info in my inbox. I began reading the product descriptions and my heart started racing. I NEEDED this collection in my life. I have been trying very hard to refrain from purchasing new cosmetics until my employment situation is resolved but I could not resist Balearic Love. In my excitement I may have also caved on some additional
Last night I washed and set up to dry all 14 of my regular use makeup brushes in 13 MINUTES. Yup! I don't know about you, but to me that seemed pretty darn impressive! My new secret weapon was the BECCA Professional Makeup Brush Soap.Image Courtesy of BeccaCosmetics.comI must thank Modesty Brown for introducing this brush cleaner to me when she raved about it and included it in one of her giveaways. I decided to include it with my most recent Zuneta order and I'm so pleased I did.From the Becca Cosmetics website:Key
I'm loving purple and plum tones lately. This is a new discovery for me in the last couple years so it's always fun to add to my collection.

Chelsea International Hostel
Real Reviews
Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Unfortunately I cannot recommend the Chelsea International Hostel to anyone. Our experience was terrible with the people in the front desk and, about the accommodations, although the rooms were clean, they need a complete overhaul, starting from the beds and finishing in the bathrooms. The recreation area is small and inappropriate considering the number of guests. I stay very often in hostels but not in this one, I hope. "
- 19 Aug 2015 ANTONIO Brazil
- " Best deal in NYC! "
- 15 Aug 2015 Anonymous USA
- " It's just an average hostel within a good location for a bus or train ride to main attractions in Manhattan. The staffs just feel that they did good job by taking your money and handing over the hostel keys. They just don't care if you got any complains as they will have more people lining up for rooms by next morning. The rent is quite high for an average hostel in New York city. If you're willing to pay a bit extra bucks, you better off find a good 2 star hotel somewhere else! "
- 13 Aug 2015 Mohd Noor Malaysia
- " Very simple, but I was surprised by how incredibly clean it was. I saw no bugs or cobwebs or anything like that that I would normally sort of take for granted at a cheap hostel. I had a private room with a shared bath, but still had a handbasin in my room which was very convenient. The location in Chelsea was perfect. Lots of nice restaurants, stores, and several metro stops nearby. If you basically need an affordable place that is a roof over your head and a decent bed, this is the place. "
- 12 Aug 2015 Helenah Sweden
- " Improve staff hospitality. "
- 01 Aug 2015 Ricardo Jorge
- " Excellent rapport qualité / prix. Chambre sécurisée avec lit double confortable. Salle de bain et wc privés très propres. Chambre donnant sur la rue très bruyante !!! Petit-déjeuner compris dans le prix Très bien situé dans le quartier dynamique de Chelsea. Proche de Times Square, Flatiron Building, Madison Square, Penn Station. Excellent price / quality ratio. Secure room with comfortable double bed. Bathrooms and toilets very clean. Room is very noisy!!! Breakfast included in the price Conve "

Depressive Bernanke Brings Down Markets
Eeyore strikes again.
Ben Bernanke has always reminded us of Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh's donkey friend. He's got that grayish coloring, and those sleepy eyes, and he looks a bit patched together, as though he were lovingly restitched after being worn out by President Bush and the financial crisis. And then of course there's his view of the economy, which has been cloudy since the crash. Even on the rare occasions the Fed Chairman allows a bright note to sneak into his semiannual monetary policy report to Congress, he immediately tones it down, as though he doesn't want anyone to get too excited because there could be some kind of cataclysm any second now. That's what he did today. After cautiously noting, "My colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and I expect continued moderate growth, a gradual decline in the unemployment rate, and subdued inflation over the next several years," he went ahead and dropped this bomb:
Of course, even as the Federal Reserve continues prudent planning for the ultimate withdrawal of extraordinary monetary policy accommodation, we also recognize that the economic outlook remains unusually uncertain.
After his remarks, the market tanked. But at least there hasn't been an earthquake.

having some trouble with my z-indexing.
in short I have an absolute div underneath a relative div called container. in the container I have three divs, left center and right all absolute positioned.
I want the absolute div at the bottom ( a white line ) to appear over the top of center div but behind left and right div ( all of which are in the container div )
Now Z-index does one of two things, it either puts the white line under all three of the main divs or in front of them all. there is no middle ground.

I have a database of 2,000,000+ records. I need to be able to sort by any of the 30 fields in the table quickly.
I tired adding an index(s) but it did not seem to increase the speed of the order by clause.
Here is my table structure:
CREATE TABLE `tblM` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`fld1` varchar(1024) NOT NULL,
`fld2` varchar(1024) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `fld1` (`fld1`(1000)),
KEY `fld2` (`fld2`(1000)),
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=21748375 ;
This is an example query I run:
SELECT id, fld1, fld2 FROM tblM ORDER BY fld2 ASC LIMIT 30
However this takes around 15 seconds to execute. Is there any way in which I can these types of queries execute in < 1 sec?
Sorting by primary key is only fast takes 0.0017 secs, it would be nice to have the other fields with the same performance. Disk space does not matter.

Why is religion so connected to sex? What role does sex play in religious propagation? What myths has the religious memeplex foisted on us? What does "normal and natural" mean in human sexuality and how it is perverted by religion? These are some of the questions Dr. Darrel Ray will discuss in his new presentation, Religion as a Sexually Transmitted Disease or How Religion Distorts Human Sexuality. AFTERWARD WE WILL GO TO CALLAHAN'S FOR MORE CONVERSATION. Cole Morgan [masked] [masked]
Great info, what a treat

Fascinating stuff. Darrell had a lot of great material and it was presented very well. I found the arguments raised quite compelling and have committed a few of them to memory. Regret that I had to leave a bit early for another meetup, as I'm sure the discussion afterwards would have been riveting.
0 · October 17, 2010
Thought provoking. It was much different than I expected. Darrell covered the topic from a different perspective and addressed the issue head on.

This was a nice chutney, but VERY sweet if you use the full amount of brown sugar. I ended up adding a little extra tomato paste to dilute the sweetness a bit and thicken it a little. I could see this complementing but Indian and Thai food, or anywhere you need a hint of sweetness to balance a spicy dish. It was quick and easy for a chutney, and I will certainly make it again.
Delicious! I made this with 1 Tbsp. ginger powder (no fresh on hand) and a large fresh tomato (trying to use it up). I also used the brown sugar I had on hand, but I'm sure it wasn't golden. I made this to help cool down a spicy Indian chicken breast I made at home (with a prepared paste from the store, I don't know what's in it) and it definitely worked. I ate it straight from the fridge, and really liked it chilled. I am trying to figure out what else to use this on, as I want to make lots more of it. It was easy, to boot. 5 star recipe!
I had the pleasure of having Thai Curry Penne with Ginger -Tomato Chutney, which included this recipe for Ginger-Tomato Chutney. It is an AMAZING flavored dish, that everyone dove into at my cooking and recipes meetup. I would have to say this dish is about my all time favorite dish that I have had for a pasta dish on Zaar. If you haven't tried it, I am telling you, YOU SHOULD! Simply amazing! Thank you for posting it for us Ginny!

TROY — A Kentucky man faces felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers found 885 grams of hydroponic marijuana, worth nearly $9,000, after a traffic crash in Miami County.
Troopers clocked a 2013 Chevy Captiva at 89 mph on Interstate 75. When the trooper attempted to catch up with the violator, it struck a commercial vehicle from behind, causing a crash at 8:30 a.m. today.
As troopers were conducting a crash investigation, they found several bags of hydroponic marijuana that had become dislodged from the bumper during the crash. The driver was also found to be driving under suspension.
Brandon D. Means, 27, was transported to Upper Valley Medical for his injuries and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of criminal tools, both fifth-degree felonies. If convicted, he could face up to two years in prison and up to a $5,000 fine.
Brandon's a 1st class idiot. Carrying that much smoke with a suspended drivers license, the idiot should do the speed limit and blend in. What a fool!
maybe he hit a pothole.
It's COMMON SENSE! lol

Released: Dec 01st, 2001
Running Time: 66
Director: Robert Cohen
Company: Seymore Butts' Home Movies
Cast: Tyce Bun', Kiki D'Aire, Tanya Danielle, Alexandra Quinn, Luna Rio, McKayla Matthews, Brooke Hunter, Shay Sweet
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Sell with Butts' magazine.
A fairly -- emphasis on fair -- strokable collection of behind-the-scenes footage culled from Seymore Butts' magazine devoted to the - you guessed it - tushy.
There's some decent anal sex, such as Alexandra Quinn getting herself off, and McKayla Matthews getting off in her threeway with Tyce Buné and Brooke Hunter.
One of the more entertaining scenes is Matthews' lesbian tryst in the kitchen with Tanya Danielle. They effect their penetrations with the usual kitchen implements - wooden spoons, bananas, rolling pins - one thinks of when you think lesbian sex in the kitchen. Matthews closes the video with a pie in the face to Seymore Butts while he's making a pitch for his magazine, but Butts pies her as well.

I have to agree...D&G PH is not what It use to be. It has been my sig for years...but no more. If D&G wants to destroy a clasic sent...then let them. But they have now lost another customer. The one...

Im going to the mall this weekend,I'll stop by the Sephora shop and give It a spritz,thanks.:)
I get the most complements when wearing D&G orig and the one,especially when I layer the two.:thumbup:
