The U.S. economy added 139,000 private-sector jobs in February, according to the monthly employment report released by payroll-processing firm ADP and their partner Moody's Analytics. This number reflects a slight increase from the revised January figure of 127,000—which was previously reported as 175,000.
The construction industry added 14,000 over the month, following downwardly-revised figures of 17,000 in the prior two months. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi attributes those downwardly-revised numbers in part to the weather. "It was really, really cold in December. When it's really cold, construction workers don't work. But the survey week for ADP was one of the warmest weeks of the month and those construction workers went back to work. In this case, I think we saw the direct effects of weather," Zandi said in a conference call.
Despite the unpredictable weather in the last few months, Zandi says: "I expect the housing market to kick into higher gear later this year."
The manufacturing industry added a meager 1,000 jobs last month, but this follows January's loss of 7,000—previously reported as a loss of 12,000 jobs.
Service-providing industries rose by 120,000 jobs in February, with professional and business services contributing the most to this growth. An increase of 33,000 jobs is well below the 2013 monthly average for the professional and business services sector, a broad category that most likely includes architects and engineers.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report is scheduled for release on Friday morning, providing more detailed information about the economic state of the construction and architecture fields.

5 Things to Fix at Acer
Acer, the embattled Taiwanese PC maker, has been through a lot in recent months. Its top two executives resigned abruptly in November following a record loss. Its 69-year-old founder has returned to right the ship, cutting staff, announcing a new strategy and hiring a new chief executive.
Jason Chen, who came on board last month, will be tasked with fixing the company at a time when the global PC industry is seeing a sharp slowdown in PC demand. After PC shipments fell 10% in 2013, Gartner estimates sales of 318 million PCs and two-in-one devices this year, essentially unchanged from 2013 sales.
Chen was previously a vice president of sales and marketing at chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.
Chen is slated to address the press on the company's strategy later this afternoon. Here are five areas that investors will be watching closely:
- Product strategy. Acer has been slow in shifting away from its core laptop business as the industry slows, but is now trying to play catch-up in new areas like mobile and cloud computing. The company's founder and temporary chairman, Stan Shih, recently announced the company will shift from being a hardware-only company to one that also provides software and cloud computing services. However, the plans have been vague and details so far sparse. Chen will surely be asked to expand on the company's product strategy.
- Leadership. Acer's previous chairman and president have been faulted with a lack of vision that resulted in sticking to traditional laptops while competitors branched out into quickly developing fields like smartphones. The company has been cleaning house, with a number of executives departing. While Chen has already been appointed as the new CEO, the company is still on the hunt for a new chairman. Finding a chairman with vision, as well as dynamic lower-level executives will be crucial for the company's turnaround.
- Brand Image. After rising to prominence making low-end laptops for the masses, Acer has struggled to improve its brand image and convince consumers its devices are worthy of a higher price tag. Last year, the company went through a makeover, hiring on a new chief marketing officer Michael Birkin from the U.S., signing big-name stars like Megan Fox to front its ads, and heavily promoting a few sleek premium laptops like the aluminum bodied Aspire S7. However, rebranding takes time, and Acer's efforts have so far been unable to stem declining sales. It's yet uncertain what kind of marketing campaigns Acer will pursue this year.
- Design. In the realm of product design, Acer is often held up in comparison against its cross-town rival Asustek Computer. The smaller Asustek has invested more heavily in product design over the years, rolling out innovative products like tablets with a detachable keyboard, or a smartphone that docks in a tablet. Asustek has reaped the rewards from customers, gaining a more loyal customer base and better product reviews. Acer had previously pursued a low-cost strategy, outsourcing much of its design work, but the company has been rethinking this strategy and trying to find ways to differentiate its design.
- Costs. The million dollar question, for investors at least, is when Acer can return to profitability. Acer has so far skirted the question, saying only that it takes time to reengineer a company. With limited prospects for boosting sales significantly in the short-term, climbing out of the red will rely heavily on cost-cutting. Acer has already announced it will cut 7% of its 8,000 workforce, with expected annual savings of $100 million. Investors will be keen for any additional details of how Acer plans to trim costs.

More quotes in a while.
Courtesy of the New York Rangers:
March 22, 2011 – New York Rangers 1, Florida Panthers 0 (Game No. 74, Home No. 37)
• The Rangers defeated the Florida Panthers, 1-0, tonight at Madison Square Garden to extend their season-high winning streak to five games and register their 40th win of the season. New York is now 40-30-4 overall, including 7-1-0 in their last eight contests, and are 18-16-3 at home. The Blueshirts have won each of their last four games at MSG.
• The last time New York posted a five-game winning streak was when they won seven in a row last season, from Oct. 3, 2009 vs. Ottawa to Oct. 17, 2009 at Toronto.
• It is the fifth time in the last six years the Rangers posted 40 or more wins in a season, marking only the second time in franchise history the team accomplished the feat (1968-69 – 1973-74).
• The Rangers are one of five Eastern Conference teams to have registered at least five seasons of 40+ wins since 2005-06 (Montreal, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh).
• The Blueshirts did not commit a penalty in the contest, marking the first time since Jan. 9, 2009 at Buffalo (1-2, SO) the Rangers were not assessed a penalty.
• Henrik Lundqvist stopped all 22 shots faced to post his league leading, 10th shutout of the season, and improve to 32-24-4 overall with a 14-13-3 mark at home. It is the second time in his career Lundqvist registered 10 shutouts in a season (2007-08). He is now 7-1-0 with a 1.98 goals against average, .932 save percentage and two shutouts in the last eight games.
• Brandon Dubinsky notched the only goal of the contest at 7:49 of the third period to extend his scoring streak to four games (two goals, four assists over the span), and has tallied eight points (three goals, five assists) in the last seven contests. Dubinsky also registered five shots on goal and was credited with three hits in 19:44 of ice time.
• Ryan Callahan tallied the primary assist on Dubinsky's goal to extend his scoring streak to four games (three goals, four assists over the span), and has now registered 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in the last 17 contests. He leads the Rangers in scoring with 13 goals and 24 points (13 goals, 11 assists) in 22 games since returning from injury on Feb. 1.
• Artem Anisimov recorded one assist to extend his assist streak to four games (two goals, four assists over the span), and has now tallied 10 points (four goals, six assists) in the last eight games. The four-game assist/point streak ties his career high, previously set on April 6, 2010 at Buffalo to April 11, 2010 at Philadelphia (four assists).
• Please note the Blueshirts do not have practice scheduled for tomorrow, Mar. 23.
• The Rangers will return to action when they face-off against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, Mar. 24, at Madison Square Garden (7:00 p.m.), to close out their two-game homestand. The game will be televised live on MSG Network and can be heard on 1050 ESPN Radio and newyorkrangers.com.
John Tortorella on tonight's game… "I thought it was very important to win a game like that this time of year. We have been scoring some goals the last little while, winning games that way. Right from the start our start was good. (Tomas) Vokoun was solid, it was going to be one of those games. Hank made some key saves at times but we really defended."
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight's game… "It is going to come down to low scoring games so you have to be sharp. We didn't get frustrated. It is easy to get frustrated in a game like this. The key is being mentally sharp."
Brandon Dubinsky on tonight's game… "We expected them to come and play hard and they did. They pressured and skated pretty well. We knew we had to grind one out tonight. We would, obviously, have liked to bury some opportunities and take some pressure off ourselves but this was a good test for us – a playoff type game that you have to grind away (at)."
Ryan Callahan on Henrik Lundqvist… "To a man in the room we all know he is the most important guy for us to win games. The big thing is that he is our guy and he is having a Vezina type of year."

The phrase "character doll" can have two meanings to doll collectors. For those who collect antique bisque and early vintage composition dolls, it means dolls with personality and expression; not the common blank "dolly face." But for the purposes of this website, I am using it to refer to fictional characters - those people of books, movies and television who become larger than life.
Madame Alexander was very fond of fictional characters; she made many of them, and the company carries on that tradition today. Some of the characters Alexander has made include the family from the book "Little Women," children from Charles Dickens' stories, and Alice in Wonderland. Raggedy Ann and Andy are the most famous character dolls of all time, although the children who love them may not always realize they began as storybook characters. Other popular subjects for character dolls include Anne of Green Gables, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella.

Best Buy has announced that its revenues for the 2013 fiscal year ended February 2 were $49.62 billion versus $50.04 billion in the previous year, while comparable store sales fell 7.5%. Operating income was $162 million compared with $980 million in fiscal 2012 while net loss attributable to Best Buy shareholders was $249 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, versus $1.32 billion, or $3.57 per diluted share, in the year earlier.
Fourth quarter revenue came in at $16.71 billion, Best Buy reported, versus $16.67 billion in the year-prior period, with comps down 0.8%. Operating loss was $145 million compared with $121 million in the year-earlier period while net loss attributable to Best Buy shareholders was $409 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, versus $1.82 billion, or $5.17 per dilutes share. However, adjusted for one time items, Best Buy's fourth quarter earnings per share came in at $1.64 versus $2.18 in the year-earlier period, beating a published Thomson Reuters consensus analyst estimate of $1.54.
Domestic revenue of $12.55 billion in the fourth quarter represented a 0.3% decline versus last year, Best Buy stated. The loss of revenue from 49 big box stores that the company closed earlier in the year drove the decline, but effect of the shutterings was substantially offset by a positive 0.9% comp increase generated by Best Buy units in the United States and incremental revenue from 126 additional Best Buy Mobile stand-alone stores, the company asserted. Best Buy pointed out that fourth quarter comps received a boost estimated at 35 basis points involving a calendar shift in this year's pre-Super Bowl sales from the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
In the fourth quarter, Consumer Electronics sales slipped in the revenue mix to 35% from 38% in the year-prior period. Computing and Mobile Phones gained to 42% from 37% while Entertainment slipped to 12% from 15%. Appliances also gained, up to 5% from 4%, while Services and Other remained the same at 5% and 1% respectively, Best Buy related.
Hubert Joly, Best Buy president and CEO commented about the company's financial results: "On revenue growth of 0.2%, we delivered non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.64. Adjusted free cash flow for the year reached $965 million as we aggressively reduced inventories and focused on working capital and cash flow management. To deliver these better-than-expected results, renewed momentum in the Domestic business more than offset continued softness in the International business. Fourth quarter Domestic comparable store sales increased 0.9%, with an overall 10 basis point decline in the gross profit rate. Domestic online revenue increased 11%. These results were driven by a compelling assortment of new products in key growth categories, increased 'blue-shirt" training and higher customer engagement in our retail stores, and impactful 'traffic-generating' marketing activities. It was a quarter that was driven, not given, and we are encouraged by the intensity, collaboration and momentum that was generated by both our front line and corporate teams as we began to execute against our Renew Blue initiatives."
Joly said Best Buy would build on that momentum it has established in 2014, adding, "We remain intently focused on the two problems we have to solve: stabilizing and improving our comparable store sales and increasing profitability across our global businesses. We recognize, however, that fiscal 2014 is a year of transition and that further investment will be required to advance our Renew Blue transformation. I would like to highlight six key priorities that will be pursued in fiscal 2014 that fall under the various pillars of Renew Blue. These priorities are, one, accelerating online growth, two, escalating the multi-channel customer experience, three, increasing revenue and gross profit per square foot through enhanced store space optimization and merchandising, four, driving down cost of goods sold through supply chain efficiencies, five, continuing to gradually optimize the U.S. real estate portfolio and, six, further reducing SG&A costs. In addition, we will focus on driving operational improvements in our International business."

Easy and eco-friendly New Year's resolutions
New Year's resolutions - the easiest things to make and often the hardest to keep. Instead of promising to lose the same 10 pounds you resolved to lose last year, make the simple promise to be a little more eco-friendly each and every day. Whether it's remembering to bring your reusable bags to the grocery store or finally investing in one of those reusable water bottles, you'll have a resolution you can not only keep, but feel good about keeping.
First up, try trading your store-bought bottled water for home-filtered water in a reusable glass, stainless steel, aluminum or recycled bottle. By bypassing plastic, you'll do your part to reduce the 1.5 million barrels of oil used per year in plastic water bottle production. As an added bonus, you'll save up to $1,400 off your grocery shopping bill this year alone. Imagine those savings if you keep this resolution every year.
If you really want to commit to the cause, you can also try replacing your morning coffee run with a homebrew in an insulated mug. Between the cups and those unnecessary carrying sleeves offered by some chains, a massive 58 billion pieces of cardboard are thrown away each and every year. Looking for a delicious and eco-friendly morning pick me up? Purchase your favorite brand of coffee and brew it in an electricity-saving French press, stir in organic milk and locally made honey and you'll never again miss the taste of big-chain coffee.
This next suggestion is really easy, even if it takes you a while to get into the routine. How often have you gone out to the grocery store, only to realize halfway there or in the checkout line that you've forgotten your reusable shopping bags? Well, fret no more because this year, you will remember. Why? Because you're going to follow any or all of these simple tips:
- Keep the bags on a hook near the front door.
- Keep one set of bags in the house and another set in the car.
- Put a big sign at your door or in your car that says, "Remember Your Bags!"
"Phantom load" might sound like the name of the new action flick or a really bad metal band, but it is actually the energy used by electronics that have been turned off, but not unplugged. Even a plugged-in phone charger with no phone attached draws electricity. By resolving to remember to unplug all items not in use, whether it's the TV, the microwave or the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer, you'll not only be acting green, you'll be saving it as well - up to 10 percent off of your total electric bill. To make it easier, try bundling items on a power strip (TV, DVD player, game system on one; coffeepot, microwave, blender on another), that way, you will only have to remember to turn off one item, but get the effect of turning off up to six.
It isn't always easy being green, but making these simple New Year's resolutions is certainly a step in the right direction. Whatever your resolution, make 2012 the year you keep it!

SAINT PAUL, MN -- A healthcare reform taskforce formed by Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton removed a proposed vending sales tax increase from its final recommendations.
The taskforce was formed in 2011 to propose policies that would make the state healthier. It consisted of state lawmakers and state health agency commissioners, who issued a set of draft recommendations in September.
The recommendations had originally included increasing the sales tax on vended food or adopting a new "excise tax on unhealthy food and beverages" sold in vending machines.
The taskforce allowed for a public comment period, during which the Minnesota Automatic Merchandising Council, a state council of the National Automatic Merchandising Association, submitted comments opposing both recommendations.
The final draft recommendations were recently released and, in a win for the industry, did not include either recommendation. Instead, the taskforce suggested that the Minnesota legislature authorize a study of the impact of increased taxes of this type.
The final recommendations will be acted on in November.

It only takes a glance at the brilliantly colored leaves gracing our mountainsides to see that nature is in the midst of one of its most dramatic annual transformations from summer to winter. From trees to plants to animals, nature's elements are slowing down their growth and focusing on storage and energy conservation for the cold months ahead of us.
We can take a hint from nature and do the same.
Summer is a time of energy expenditure, the yang of the year, if you will. It's a catabolic time when we expend a lot of energy in long daylight hours. Many are active in sports or other hobbies that keep us up late at night or encourage early morning sessions before it gets too warm.
Such lifestyles are great, as long as they are balanced with some yin, a time in which we nurture and nourish our bodies so they can restore and repair tired muscles and hormonal systems. The easiest way to pay attention to such rhythms of nature is to follow the circadian rhythms of the sun.
In an ideal world, we'd go to bed and rise with the sun. This means longer active hours in the summer and shorter waking hours in the winter.
Sleep is the best time for the yin process of rebuilding our bodies. Often we think of sleep as a time of rest, but in reality it is a busy work time for our systems as they repair themselves.
In general, the time between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. is when our body focuses on physical repair, and the time between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. is when our body focuses on hormonal/neurological repair.
Our waking hours tend to be stretched during the summer, particularly in the Mountain West when it's still light outside past 9 p.m.
Where we get into trouble is in the winter when we don't balance all that yang energy with some restorative yin time. We get sucked into TV shows, computer games, social-media outlets or work and before you know it, it's past 10 p.m., an hour that leads to another short night.
Now is a good time to reset that personal clock and follow healthier sleep patterns. While many studies show you can't catch up on sleep, getting into the rhythm and flow of shorter active days with longer rest in the winter will help your body renew itself.
There is an added benefit, too, that comes with longer hours of sleep. Plenty of research exists that shows those who get more sleep tend to lose more weight or eat fewer calories than those who don't. In general, getting around eight hours of sleep still seems to be a good standard to aim for.
The best way to get into a habit of more rest is to tune into the sunrise-sunset rhythms, since our bodies have long been in tune with this cycle. Make a point of ending your busy time earlier as the daylight wanes. Turn off the computer and TV at a certain point, since these electronic sources create a false light that encourage us to stay awake. Set a period of quiet time before going to bed and spend it reading, meditating or stretching, or any other habit that helps calm you and centers you.
Enjoy the yang moments of your life, but now is a great time to make sure you get some yin, too.

The history of Swedish from the Common Scandinavian period (600–1050) until about 1225 is known chiefly from numerous runic inscriptions. Radical changes took place in the language, especially in the sound system, during the 14th and 15th centuries. Modern Swedish is usually dated from 1526, when a Swedish translation of the New Testament was first printed. The standard language began to emerge in the 17th century, formed principally on the Svea dialects spoken in Stockholm and around Lake Mälar but with some features from the Göta dialects. The Swedish Academy, founded in 1786, published a Swedish grammar in 1836 and later began a dictionary.
A characteristic of Swedish grammar, shared with the other Scandinavian languages, is enclitic definite articles—i.e., the placement of the definite article after the noun. Standard Swedish has no case endings in nouns except for the possessive s (as in English) and has only two genders (neuter, common). In most dialects, however, three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) are still differentiated. Swedish has a tone or pitch accent, described by many speakers of English as a singsong rhythm. The vocabulary contains many loanwords, especially from Low German and High German and, in more recent times, from French and English.

Thank you for your inquiry about HE Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche's teaching in Poland. We here at Lotus Garden generally don't have information about Rinpoche's teachings at other centers. I suggest that you check with the center where the program is being hosted. There is a web page with some information about Rinpoche's visit here: (the address of the Polish center)

Hi, I'm Ellen Hirshman and thank you for taking the time to check me out on avvo. I have been handling cases throughout Ohio for the past 30 years, as well as some other states. I enjoy representing families, although the reason they initially...
Practice areas: Birth Injury, Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect, Medical Malpractice, Brain Injury, Wrongful Death
If you have a child you suspect suffers from a birth injury or birth defect such as cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy, but you are not sure when the injury happened or who is at fault, you may benefit from the services of a birth injury lawyer. A birth injury lawyer handles cases where babies' injuries occur during pregnancy or birth, even when the problem does not appear until later. Examples of birth injuries are spastic cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injury, brain damage, and broken bones. Birth injuries can also result from improper care during pregnancy. Birth injury lawyers know the medical factors causing these injuries, and the best medical experts for a particular case. Parents face difficult choices when a child is born with injuries, and a birth injury lawyer can help make these choices easier.

Frankly, however, what Moguls & Movie Stars needed was the unerring eye of a Thalberg or a Mayer for storytelling.
The virtuoso, however, whose appearance caused the greatest sensation was Thalberg.
After Chopin, Thalberg, and Henselt, the orchestral school had its sway—it still has.
It was not till the time of Liszt, Thalberg, and Chopin that the pedals became a power in pianoforte-playing.
Thalberg, by the by, had brought a letter from the great Austrian to the Paris authorities.
This trick of treating the melody was not new with Thalberg.
Thalberg is also here, and playing famously, but he is not the man for me.
"Tomorrow, then, I'll ask for Thalberg's resignation," was the reply.
Thalberg was the first pianist in Europe, contended every one.
Farther sensational improvements were probably the result of the Thalberg contest in Paris during 1835.

Hungry CWS Fans Will See A Beefed Up Menu
The menu at TD Ameritrade Park has been beefed up this year to accommodate the College World Series fans.
Chef Tyler Humphrey tells Newsradio 1110 KFAB there are three new hotdog and nacho options on the menu this year.
The staple at any stadium, the hot dog, has been given a face lift. If you like it hot, enjoy a Danger Dog (buffalo pulled chicken and jalapeno slaw with chipotle ranch) or the cowboy dog (onions, bacon and barbecue sauce). If you prefer a throw-back to Rosenblatt Stadium, check out the Blatt dog (bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato).
If nachos are more to your liking, Humphrey says "get ready for a colossal nacho meant for sharing three different varieties nachos, buffalo pulled chicken, barbecue pork and then the traditional chili cheese, lots of cool things, I'm sure everyone will enjoy that," says Humphrey.
If that wasn't enough, listen to Chef Humphrey below describe some of the other items on the menu this year.

Jennifer Lawrence Emerges as Katniss on the Catching Fire Set
Jennifer Lawrence got into character as Katniss Everdeen on the Catching Fire set in Atlanta yesterday. Production on the second installment in the Hunger Games series got under way in Georgia last month, but this is the first we've seen of Jennifer in costume after she debuted darker hair for the role at the Toronto International Film Festival. Josh Hutcherson, Willow Shields, and others were spotted at work in September, as were newcomers Jena Malone and Sam Claflin — check out the full cast of Catching Fire. Jennifer may be focused on her sci-fi film, but she's also lining up other deals and was just named the new face of Miss Dior handbags.

Next in our lineup of featured zinesters is Vanessa Capshaw, whose dreamy 80s zine covers clothe BATS, "an ongoing comic-zine series that centers around the abject misadventures of Juju and the Lox, two genderqueer boys in high school." [from BATASTROPHE]
Why do you create zines?
I create zines because I enjoy the DIY/Self Publishing element to it in which I can publish anything I want to publish. With zines there are no boundaries or rules. I also enjoy the construction process – I love playing around with Xerox machines and silkscreening covers. Even folding and stapling them is fun for me!
What new projects are you working on this year?
I am currently working on a mini-art zine called "OMG BFFS" and a follow up to "BATS: Cry Crystal Castle".
What will be on your table at this year's Zine Fest?
Other than zines and comics, I sell pinback buttons, prints, silkscreened tote bags and even silkscreened shirts that feature my comic characters.
What is the concept behind your zine/zines?
I focus on concepts of escapism, sexuality and mental illness and explore them through my comic characters Lox and Juju, two genderqueer high school boys that live in Houston, TX.
5. What is/are your favorite place(s) in Houston?
The Enclave area of the Energy Corridor in the Westside of town. It has such an intense eerie feel to it! Back when I actually lived in Houston I would drive around that area when feeling pensive or bored. It's changed a lot in the past decade or so, but I still love it.

Thomas, Norman, 1884-1968
An ardent Socialist and pacifist, Norman Thomas ran six times as a democratic socialist candidate for president of the United States. Born in 1884 in Marion, Ohio, the son of a Presbyterian minister, Thomas became a leading voice of the non-Communist left, taking up the causes of civil rights, peace, and social justice.
Thomas's memoir traces the major events of his life from his boyhood and education at Bucknell and Princeton, to his experiences during both world wars, and from his acceptance of Socialism to his reflections on religion.

Its a British thing, but it has to be baked beans from a tin (its the staple diet of Vegans, students, those in a rush and basically everyone who doesn't have time to cook - and it tastes fantastic) ;https://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=...L8q38gO1w6mWDg
Last edited by Firestorm; Apr 5th, 2012 at 08:40 PM. Reason: I forgot bits
^ Its a very British thing, that also happens to be a great vegan snack/lunch/dinner.
Just realised Firestorm has answered this question, doh!
A British thing. Eating baked beans on toast is very widespread over here.
The tomato sauce was Old El Paso fajita sauce, and the cheese sauce I made with Redwoods soya-free cheddar, Kara coconut milk, nutritional yeast and flour heated together in a pot.
Put some fajita sauce in the bottom of an oven dish, put some sautéed veg on in tortillas (I only made two), roll it up, put in the dish, cover it the fajita and cheese sauces and bake in the oven at 200c for 25-30 mins.
@Robinwomb- baked beans on toast are popular in Ireland too, not just in Britain
Thanks Blueberries, I'll be giving this a go.

Wow, those baked beans on toast photos are making me very very hungry! Very occasionally I will eat vegetarian canned baked beans on toast. Mostly I have been eating black beans with spices and tomatoes on toast or a white bean or chickpea spread on toast. I absolutely love the whole concept. Very filling and has staying power.
All that talk of beans on toast yesterday... with chive flavour sheese
Hot choc sauce on warm choc cake, with strawberries and a little bit of soyatoo (couldn't get it to squirt for some reason)
Looks excellent leela!

I've had dinner, but now I feel hungry again...
Breakfast Nachos:
haha, I'm trying to be healthy... mostly just not overeating, but I wish I had the willpower to eat healthier!
These were both from an area restaurant called The Owl House. We love it!
The nachos were covered with tofu scramble, stewed black beans, guacamole, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, salsa verde, smoked tofu and Daiya...
Poutine is a Canadian thing. It's fries (chips) covered in vegan cheese and veggie gravy. It was so good that we recreated it today (although a healthier version w some sweet potato fries and tofu cubes).
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnn - what I would give for those two dishes to somehow magic up in front of me right now!
Roasted purple carrots, tofu, and butternut squash over brown rice
What did you season it with Dermosthenes? I've been craving some veg over rice but I'll need something really yummy as my wife - who grew up with an Indian stepfather and therefore a LOT of rice - gets sick at the sight of rice!
Goulash, broccoli, sprouts, kale, potatoes, pickled onions & beetroot:
That plate of food is right up my alley, firestorm.
@Firestorm; whoa, how did you make that goulash?
Nothing tastes as good as compassion feels.
It's a recipe from a cookbook called Another Dinner is Possible. Its going to become one of my favourites.
Everyone's food looks great
Houmous atá ann!
Tomato and cheese pasta bake. The cheese was Tesco mild cheese, I think I overdid it on the cheese but then again that's impossible!

I made the kale curry a few days ago, all the others I made some time ago. Interestingly, with the crumpets, I had a heck of a time finding crumpet rings. Even the specialty baking store in my city did not carry them but after mentioning to them the trouble I was having finding them they ordered some! Yeah! I didnt want to order online for something that isn't that expensive. Crumpets are not common in the U.S. but English muffins are. Crumpets however are much easier to veganize than english muffins.

Oh thank you.
I havent tried Shepherds pie yet but that photo is awfully convincing.
Last Saturday I was on a roll and in the mood to cook. So I made a few out of the ordinary dishes:
Homemade Energy Bars with White Beans My husband has been happily munching away on these
and he has no idea that these are made with Great Northern White beans in them. They work great as a binder and absorb the flavors of the spices and agave well. Also included are dates, pecans, almonds, oats, agave, raisins and coconut.
Tofu Butternut Ricotta Stuffed Manicotti [/IMG] I got this recipe from Vegweb (they used shells to stuff instead of manicotti). There is no vegan cheese whatsoever, not even nutritional yeast,
and you would never know it. The butternut squash and firm tofu combined with spices and lemon juice adds a rich texture and flavor all by itself and the marinara sauce was a great addition. Awesome dish!

Survey: UK Public is Unaware of Female Scientists

Dorothy Hodgkin, who discovered the structure of insulin
(Source: vcharkam)
Survey indicates a majority of the British population cannot name one female scientist
According to a recent poll by
, a public opinion researcher from England, two-thirds of British population (who participated in the survey)
cannot name even one
famous female scientist.
The Royal Society
, which is a fellowship of individuals who represent all areas of science, organized this survey. The poll showed that almost half of the participants were able to identify at least one male scientist while two-thirds could not name even one female scientist.
Furthermore, 90 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds could not name a current or historical female scientist. Lorna Casselton, Vice President of the Royal Society, said these results were "frustrating."
The number of those who were aware of
scientific figures in the poll were very low, with 18 percent who identified Dorothy Hodgkin as the creator of the structure of insulin, and only six percent who identified Jocelyn Bell Burnell as the scientist who played a role in the discovery of pulsar stars.
Other results were that 20 percent of 1,000 adults chose "Nobel prize-winning scientist" as the best role model for their daughters. These adults were given six role model choices to choose from, ranging from doctor to lawyer and pop star to athlete. Almost half chose "life-saving
" as their first choice.
"People are still unaware of the contribution made by women to science in the past, [but] overall I am encouraged by the findings of this poll," said Casselton. "They suggest public perceptions of women in science are changing. [We] want to encourage more girls (and their parents) to see science as an achievable and desirable career path. Most importantly, we want to encourage them to see science not only as a fulfilling career, but one that can change the world and contribute to our quality of life."
In other news, the United States government is
encouraging Indian women
to enter science and technology-related fields by offering research fellowships and internships that could bring these women to the U.S. With support of the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum, the U.S. embassy New Delhi created a one-day workshop about women in science where many young women in high school and above listened to female business leaders encourage them to "stick with science."

So I think I need to add "i8042.nopnp" to my boot parameters...but I don't know how.
I'm booted using the Live CD for BT4. It brings up eventually the command line saying "root@bt#". I CD to /boot/grub and I can see the menu.lst file, but how do I edit it? or am I not even near doing the right thing?
Can anybody help? I've been out looking and I can see other people have had this issue with various laptops, however I don't know how to implement the solutions they've suggested...(adding the i8042.nopnp) option.
Many thanks for your help!

Guns & drugs found on 2 Chainz tour bus
Listen to 2 Chainz on iHeartRadio
Guns and drugs were allegedly among the cargo on 2 Chainz's tour bus when it was pulled over by police in Oklahoma City last month. Two Chainz - born Tauheed Epps - and ten others were arrested for obstruction following an intense standoff on the tour bus.
According to the "Oklahoman's" NewsOK.com, legal documents filed in Oklahoma County District Court on Tuesday show that a search of the bus turned up a pair of .40-caliber handguns as well as a box of pistol ammunition. A 12-gauge pump-action shotgun was also found along with 20 shotgun shells.
Officers also reportedly discovered the prescription medications hydrocodone and Flexeril, however, there were no prescriptions for the drugs. There was also evidence of marijuana on the bus, including marijuana residue, metal grinders, scales and rolling papers.
After the tour bus was pulled over for a busted tail light, 2 Chainz and the other passengers refused to allow officers on board. While police later obtained a search warrant, they claim they had probable cause to search the bus without a warrant because there was the odor of marijuana emanating from the bus.

Brevard, N.C. - Saturday's game will feature plenty of hard hits and battles in the trenches as the Brevard College football team welcomes Lenoir-Rhyne University to Asheville High School this weekend in a showdown between the top two rushing offenses in both the South Atlantic Conference and the NCAA Division II.
The Tornados (3-3, 0-2 SAC) return home after a 31-21 defeat last weekend against Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C., where the Tornados held the lead for the first 55 minutes of the game before the Indians broke through with a pair of late scores to take the victory. Redshirt senior fullback Derek Church led the Tornados offense on the afternoon with 92 yards on 23 carries, finding the end zone once from four yards out, while quarterback Michael Crumbaker hooked up with Eric Watts for a 57 yard touchdown pass at the end of the first half to give the Tornados the lead, however, Catawba, led by quarterback Patrick Dennis, came back in the end as Dennis found an open Josh Wright in the end zone for a score to give the Indians the victory.
Lenoir-Rhyne (3-3, 0-2 SAC) comes into the game with an identical record to Brevard, having fallen in conference matchups against Newberry and Mars Hill. This past weekend, at home against the Lions, the Bears accumulated 228 yards on the ground led by fullback Le'Quan McCorkle to go up 17-7 on the Lions, but Mars Hill battled back, taking the lead on a 50 yard touchdown reception by Jonas Randolph to go up 24-20. The Bears had one final drive in the game as quarterback Major Herron led the L-R offense to the Lions 21 yard line, but his desperation pass into the end zone was intercepted to end the contest.
This will be the fifth meeting all-time between the teams and fourth game since the Tornados football program was reinstated in 2006, with Lenoir-Rhyne holding the 3-1 edge over Brevard. Since 2007, the Bears won the first matchup between the teams, defeating Brevard in Hickory, 23-12. The Bears took the second contest between the teams in 2008, winning in Brevard Memorial Stadium, 40-14.
Last season, with most of the attention on both teams' ground games, it was three passing plays which provided the majority of the scoring in the game. The Tornados struck first on a 73 yard touchdown pass from Crumbaker to Lawrence Martin to put Brevard up 7-0, while Michael Gist returned an interception for a touchdown in the second quarter to put Brevard up 14-0. Lenoir-Rhyne's first points in the contest came on their next drive on a 22-yard touchdown pass from Justin Sanders to Devan Pointer. A Colin Corpe field goal closed out the scoring as the Tornados recorded their first win against the Bears on September 26th, winning 14-9 in Shuford Memorial Stadium for Brevard's first South Atlantic Conference victory in program history.
Brevard comes into the game, again possessing the leading rushing attack in the NCAA, averaging 320.7 yards per game on the ground, led by the South Atlantic Conference's leading rusher in Kelvin Jeter. The freshman slot has accumulated 664 yards on the ground this season on 70 carries, averaging 9.5 yards per carry and has five touchdowns to his credit. He is joined in the backfield by Thadus Benton III, Neville Bryce, Michael Crumbaker and Derek Church. Every member of the quartet averages over 35 yards per game on the ground and they have combined for 17 rushing touchdowns to pace the SAC's fourth-highest scoring offense as the Tornados average 33.2 points per game.
When Crumbaker drops back to pass, he is 19 of 44 for 386 yards, with three touchdowns, including a season-long 57 yard pass to Watts last week for a touchdown. Watts has been the favorite target on the season for BC quarterbacks, catching 10 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns, while senior wide receiver Justin Fleming has three catches for 73 yards as the deep threat for the Tornados.
Defensively, Brevard is led by Trey Jenkins, as the junior linebacker has 43 tackles on the season and is among the team leaders with 2.5 tackles for loss on the year. Cornerback Salonik Amos is also among the team leaders with 36 tackles, while also being among the leaders in the conference in pass breakups with seven on the year, including an interception. Preseason All-SAC selections Michael Gist and Prince Simunyu are also among the team leaders as Gist has 31 tackles and five pass breakups, while Simunyu is the team leader with four tackles for loss and two sacks.
Lenoir-Rhyne is coming off a season in which the Bears went 5-6 overall, 2-5 in South Atlantic Conference play, gaining 294.3 yards per game on the ground last year on their way to outscoring their opponents 293-241. Currently this season, the Bears are second in the NCAA and the SAC in averaging 311.5 rushing yards per game in their Bear Bone offense, and outscoring opponents 193-126.
Junior quarterback Herron leads the Bears offense in both rushing and passing on the season, accumulating 475 yards on the ground and nine rushing touchdowns, while completing 38 of 79 attempts for 484 yards and one touchdown on the season. McCorkle and James Pone are also among the team rushing leaders with McCorkle having 337 yards and three rushing touchdowns on the season, while Pone has contributed 278 yards and four touchdowns. Nick Stutts and Artis Gilmore are the team leaders through the air, with Stutts being Herron's favorite target, catching 23 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown.
Preseason All-SAC selection Marcus Shuford leads the Bears defensive efforts with 47 tackles and two interceptions on the season, playing free safety for Lenoir-Rhyne. Demetrius Green is the team leader with 4.5 tackles for loss to go with 37 tackles, while Nelson Bullard and Brandon Martin lead the team with three sacks apiece.
Kickoff for the game between the Tornados and the Bears at Asheville High School Memorial Stadium is set for Saturday, October 16th, at 2 p.m.
A fan bus will be provided for all BC fans wishing to catch a ride to the Tornados game and will leave Boshamer Gymnasium at noon.

CRK400BXP: K400BXP Ken Onion Ripple 2
This is an amazing collaboration between Ken Onion and CRKT, the Ripple frame lock folder with premium Acuto stainless steel and a near friction-free IKBS ball-bearing pivot. This is not the aluminum handle model with a liner lock but the premium model with stainless steel handles and a durable frame lock. It's lightweight, fast, ergonomic, and a beautiful example of Ken Onion's eye for design. It's a gorgeous knife and with the Acuto steel, something you won't have to sharpen too often. It's as beautiful as it is fun to play with and could easily replace your current EDC blade.
This knife is noteworthy for its exceptional manufacturing quality, premium stainless steel build, plus an almost unbelievable silky smooth and fast opening action thanks to the use of the IKBS internal knife ball bearing system.
The modified drop point blade has a high hollow grind, swedged top edge, a high satin finish and Razor-Sharp cutting edge. Steel is premium Acuto, stainless, noted for its high chromium and molybdenum content and hardness of 59-60 HRC. It is instantly opened by pressing the blade flipper with either hand. For safety while closed, the blade has a ball detent.
Even the best conventional blade pivot bearings have some degree of friction which resists initial movement, or "stiction." In contrast, the Ripple blade opening action is almost friction-free due to the IKBS ball bearing system. This innovative and simple design places eight uncaged ball bearings on each side of the blade pivot in races which are machined into the stainless steel handle. It is compact and adjustable at the blade pivot screw if ever needed. Not only is opening and closing exceptionally smooth, the IKBS system is durable and requires little maintenance, and yields a folder with great rigidity and no blade play.
This Ripple KX400 model is a frame lock open build knife with stainless steel frame. In typical Ken Onion attention to detail, the frame lock does not create an unsightly gap in the right frame, but its cut is neatly integrated into the grip design of the frame, which is CNC machined with a complex 'ripple' textured pattern plus 44 small lightening holes.
The Ripple K400KXP receives a blue titanium nitride coating, which we then hand buff to give a pocket worn look, that is to lightly reveal the underlying stainless steel on the high points. The Ripple K400BXP achieves the same effect, but with a dark ultramarine blue titanium nitride finish.
Both models feature a removable stainless steel mirror polished pocket clip, high-mounted, and also with small CNC-drilled holes.
This knife combines brilliant design, custom knife quality, and advanced manufacturing technology.

Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Stainless Steel knife handles provide strength and durability and look and feel great.

Rice professors say publicly traded companies can expect increase in stock sales after big ad buysHOUSTON – (Feb. 3, 2010) – It is commonly known that companies spend millions of dollars on advertising to increase general awareness, introduce new product lines, build on their brands and sell products and services, but professors at Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business say such high-profile advertising provides another result that is not so well-known: Publicly traded companies who invest in big ad buys like the Super Bowl see a spike in their common stock being traded, even if they're not advertising a consumer product. "We're fairly certain that the publicly traded companies advertising on Sunday's Super Bowl will see a spike in stock purchases," said James Weston, an associate professor of management and co-author of the study "Advertising, Breadth of Ownership and Liquidity." Weston, along with Rice colleagues Gustavo Grullon and George Kanatas, said the increase in common-stock trading will come from the "everyday" person and not serious investors. "People buy on impulse and on recognition," Weston said. "With more and more online trading taking place, companies that spend money on big advertising campaigns see this additional benefit from their advertising investment." To speak to Weston, Grullon or Kanatas, contact David Ruth at 713-348-6327 or email@example.com .

VIRAL VIDEO: Man stuck overnight at airport makes amazing Celine Dion 'All By Myself' video
Listen to Celine Dion on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – Richard Dunn recently found himself stuck, apparently all alone, overnight at Las Vegas' McCarran Airport — so, naturally, he created an incredible music video of himself lip-syncing to Celine Dion's cover of "All By Myself" in various locations around the terminal. It even includes a shot of Dunn re-creating the iconic waterfall scene from Flashdance using a chair and a water bottle, UPI notes.
Dunn explains, per Gawker, that his tools were his iPhone, a wheelchair with a tall pole on the back, a roll of luggage tape, his own computer bag, and the airport's escalators and moving walkways.
Check it out below:
All by myself from Richard Dunn on Vimeo.
UPDATE: Celine Dion responds
Richard Dunn's viral "All By Myself" lonely airport video has captured the hearts and minds of everyone this week - including Celine Dion herself!
Celine loved Dunn's video so much, she uploaded a little message for him via YouTube. She called the video "touching," and even offered to have him as a guest at her show the next time he's in town and gets stuck at the airport!
That Celine. What a sweetheart. Check out her full response below:

Lobbyists' Lobbyists: Don't Call Us Lobbyists
(NEWSER) – The American League of Lobbyists is tired of being stereotyped. "Everybody has that misconception that lobbyists are walking around with a pocketful of cash and that's about it," says group head Monte Ward. In fact, these days, the group notes that lobbyists affect the political process in multiple ways, including grassroots organizing. So it's time for a name change for the organization, which stands up for "government relations professionals" and pushes for lobbyist ethics.

University officially opens Honors Residence
Students and officials at the University of South Carolina gathered on the lawn of the Honors Residence earlier Friday (Sept. 25) to celebrate the grand opening of the new home to more than 500 students in the South Carolina Honors College.
The program featured Dr. Kirsten Kennedy, director of University Housing, Dr. Davis Baird, dean of the S.C. Honors College, President Harris Pastides and Rohail Rashid Kazi, the hall government president for Honors Residence.
The remarks emphasized the building as an example of the university's commitment to sustainability and to creating living-and-learning communities that help students succeed.
"Amazing things happen when the connections that students and faculty have move outside the classroom," said Baird. "You can graduate with a 4.0 and earn a degree, but if you don't get to know your professors, you will not get an education. We look forward to a great deal of interaction when students and faculty connect in this wonderful new space."
Pastides said the best thing about the Honors Residence living-and-learning community is the students.


text: Looking Back on the Year Highlights from this year's campus news. Healthcare lawsuit Wheaton College first filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services on July 18, 2012, in reaction to a mandate requiring most companies of over 50 employees to cover certain contraceptives in employee health insurance plans. The lawsuit, focused on drugs such as Plan B and Ella, which Wheaton called "abortion-causing" drugs, was dismissed on Aug. 24, 2012. Wheaton appealed the federal judge's dismissal of the suit on Aug. 29, 2012. More > Perspectives From the President Looking back at the year through President Ryken's eyes. The Record was able to speak with Wheaton College President Philip Ryken about his experiences during the 2012-2013 academic year. Ryken shared about the progress of the strategic priorities, memorable moments from the year and his service day, spent working in the admissions office. More > Wheaton Professor Receives Visiting Fellowship at Duke Divinity School After being approached by Duke University in late February, Roger Lundin, the Arthur F. Holmes Professor of Faith and Learning at Wheaton College, has been appointed by the Duke Initiatives in Theology and the Arts as its first Visiting Scholar in Residence. More > Seniors Share Their Plans Eight seniors tell about their experiences at Wheaton and their next steps post graduation. After Graduation: This summer, I'll be working at HoneyRock camp in the kitchens. After that, I'm looking into AmeriCorps programs and various internships at non-profits. I'm open to God's promptings and know that he'll put me where he wants me. Wheaton Experience: I really had no idea of church history, Bible content, theology or practical implications (before Wheaton).

When senior golfers Ryan Augustine, Ben Meyer, Jonny Tink and Ben Souders came in as freshmen in 2009, the Wheaton golf program had some success. The team finished fourth in the CCIW that year and placed in the top three in five different tournaments. But in their four years on the golf team, these seniors have led the Wheaton men's golf program to new heights. More >

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by kristie, Sep 12, 2012.
No worries I really hope Trevin is one of the top 4!
i checked itunes, & both of the songs cassadee sang last night & terry's version of "i want to know what love is" are all in the top 10 so i think those two are safe.
My thoughts after finally catching up on 3 weeks of Voice episodes...
I'm a huge Trevin fan, but I think people are wanting more from him. He's beginning to be a one-note kinda guy. He's a guy who needs to show he can be versatile.
I'd like to hear Terry sing a song from this millenium.. Nothing against classic 80s, but if he's going to be more than a wedding singer, he needs to show he can sing music of today.
I like Nick, but I have the same thoughts about him as I do Terry. Good vocalist, need to sing something from today.
Cassaddee...I like her voice because it's diverse enough to sing different kinds of songs. She's sung pop, rock, and country. Only thing she hasn't touched is an R&B song.
Same with Amanda Brown who I think is going to be a fantastic artist regardless of whether she wins or not. She's proven to be the most versatile of all the artists.
Count me as one who does NOT like Melanie. Her voice puts me to sleep every time. She reminds of Norah Jones who I don't like as well. It's just personal taste, but I don't like artists who whisper to me and call it singing. lol
I kind of agree and disagree. Trevin is the same song and dance every week. If I wanted to hear a powerful song from a female, I will listen to them, not Trevin.
Terry is not in the same competition as Nick IMO. Nick is different and a lot of people like his blues type of deep voice, me included.
I like Terry, but he is stuck in the late '70's and early '80's. No chance he wins this but he is a great singer. I don't see how the younger generation has left him in so long.
Melanie is great, I like the dark singing from her, much like Norah. If she survives tonight, she needs to pick it up though and have her 'moment'.
Amanda and Cassadee have stepped it up lately, I like them both (Amanda a bit more).
Two artist I liked are gone. I am not a big Pope fan.
Melanie and Amanda I wish them luck on their future and hope they have success in their music.
Amanda's gone? Booo!!!
I knew she wasn't gonna make it on there, but I think she's gonna be a huge star, regardless.
I rather Amanda stayed and Pope go but that is me
Yeah same here!
i'm just sad that amanda & melanie are both gone. adam, like christina, doesn't have a team anymore.
The wrong two people went home IMO. Should have been Trevin and Terry.
i agree with you on trevin. he didn't do so hot monday night. he should've gone home instead of either amanda or melanie.
No way Terry should've gone home IMO.
Trevin should've gone before Amanda IMO....his tone is getting old very quickly.
What?! It's one thing to not be a fan but to say he didn't do so hot is a little off base if you ask me. He killed "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" and "Walking On Sunshine" was a horrible song choice from Cee Lo but he still did a good job. Did you not see the reaction from all of the mentors/judges after he sang the Jennifer Hudson song? He's got an amazing voice and he's only 18 and will only get better. I don't think he'll win even though I think he should but basing it on raw talent he's without a doubt in the top 2-3.
I'm just now catching the results show... Really enjoyed the Neyo and Amanda Brown performance.
I just like her...Really looking to see how her career goes from here.
Re: Trevin, I think that he CAN be a very good R&B singer with the right production. I don't want his career to go the way of Reuben Studdard. Poor production and no promotion basically left his career dangling...
Even though I know Amanda Brown lost, but dang, my feelings are hurt she's gone...
Booooo, America!!!!
can't wait to tonight's episode.
Trevin was totally outdone by the other three tonight IMO.
I thought Cassidy's performance was her best so far. Nicholas was very good, and the emotional tone of the performance was obvious. Not Terry's best IMO, but he was still nearly flawless.
Tough call...but I can see anyone but Trevin winning at this point.
Cassadee is going to be hard to beat .She seems to be getting stronger.
Nick was the best tonight followed by Terry.
I absolutely don't get all the Cassadee love.

Our families and friends were so happy, life was a party. Then on January 2nd of this year, we got the result for Maternit21... Positive for T21... Our whole world stopped. My husband is doing so much better than me. I go one day being very happy and accepting the dx to complete denial.
I still hope, dream, wish that my baby is fine. Please do not judge me for saying that i wanted a "normal" child, somehow i feel God has been unfair to us ;(
I have been reading about DS, it is not as scary as the beginning, i do think my baby will be fine...but still i am not fine.
Can else can I do to overcome this feeling?

"Spark of Love" strives to supply less fortunate children in Los Angeles with toys through donations. The Victorino Noval Foundation has been involved with the charity since 2010. Last year's event managed to gather 2,000 toys, a tally they hope to match this year.
"St. Jude's" motto is, "Finding cures. Saving children." They are dedicated to discovering cures for children with cancer and other diseases, through research and treatment. Jaime Pressly has been involved with "St. Jude" for fifteen years, supporting their efforts.
Gentlemen are required to donate $300.00 that will go directly to "St Jude." Ladies, you are welcomed to donate any amount but you are only required to bring two unwrapped toys for the kids.
A hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to "St. Jude." They will be accepting credit cards and cash at entry.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of food, drinks, dancing and live entertainment.
