Nothing in this world trumps homemade guacamole. Especially MY guacamole. Costco's guacamole has WAY too much garlic (ask my Tia Tere), store-bought guacamole is missing that je ne sais quoi, and well, I'm just a picky guacamole eater. I like my guacamole to have simple ingredients and be seasoned only by a juicy lime and salt of the earth.
In fact, I love my guacamole recipe so much, I've been making this exact recipes for at least 6 or 7 years. Whatever you do, don't put raw garlic, don't put cumin and don't make it spicy by adding cayenne pepper (sorry Alton Brown and Rebecca).
Just a note: with these guacamole recipes, we are joining Dine & Dish and Cookin' Canuck for the California Avocado 4th of July Blast, sponsored by the California Avocado Commission. You can join too! Just go to either page and submit your recipes!
- 2 large Real California avocados, ripe (to test this, push on the "nipple" of the avocado. If there is squishyness, it's ready.)
- 2 roma tomatoes
- 1/3 large jalapeno, diced small
- 1 cup diced red onion
- the juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 cup diced cilantro
- salt and pepper (plenty of salt)
- tortilla chips (to serve)
1. First, dice your onions and tomatoes.
2. Cut your avocados in half by running a knife from the top to bottom of the avocado and spinning it to make two equal halves. To separate, DON'T PULL, but rather TWIST the two halves in opposite directions. The pit will stay with one half. Take your knife, and jab it into the pit and twist it out. DO NOT use your hand to remove the put from the knife. Just give it a light tap into the trash can, and it'll fly right off. Avocado pits are slippery and you can cut your hand by trying to remove the pit from the knife using your hand!!!
3. Now dice and add the jalapeno to the onion/tomato mix.
4. Without removing the avocado from the shell, cut it into squares, and that way, when you scoop it out with a large spoon, it'll come out in little squares. (See below)
5. Use a fork to squish the avocados (a potato masher would work, too). It shouldn't be creamy, but it also shouldn't be super chunky. This recipe is not called "chunky guacamole." Finally, dish up with your favorite tortilla chips…and one word of warning…
TAKE YOUR PICTURE BEFORE YOU SET IT ON THE TABLE, or people will dig in and you'll be left with THIS (see below) to snap a pic. Sorry! Could have been a better picture but everyone was chip-diving and I couldn't get a better pic before it was devoured. ENJOY!

"Last minute" shopping is relative to your state of mind. For some, it can mean one month prior to Christmas; for others, one week, or even the night before Christmas. It depends on the individual. So how do you manage your stress during the last minutes of your last minute shopping, and not lose your marbles?
When it gets down to handing the stress of your last minute shopping, and better prioritize your needs, here are some guidelines to consider: (Keep in mind your list of priorities may be different so the key is to make a list that fits your needs and allows the least amount of stress in your last minute shopping spree!!)
Start with your immediate family – Whether you are in good or bad terms with your parents, your mom and dad should be high up on your list of priority shopping. Next come siblings – and it is okay to spend more time and effort into picking out a gift for a brother you have a better relationship with then your sister. There is no "fair" gift giving so don't let that be a pressure. It is alright to spend more money or give a more meaningful gift to a sibling you have a closer relationship with. Sometimes to avoid jealous gift situations we purchase the same gift for all siblings versus unique selected gifts. This is fine too if it alleviates stress, however, don't let the pressure to be "fair" get to you because there is no fair when it comes to Christmas.
Friends – Are like family, so I put them second on the list above extended family. Again, prioritize your friends. Make a list of your best friends and secondary friendships. It helps prioritize your time and allows you to work toward that clock with efficiency.
Extended family – Again, make a list of those in your extended family that you have a close relationship with and work your way down the list from there to the aunt you haven't seen in five years that isn't on your face book.
The Boss vs. Co-Workers – Is the boss first? Not always. It is a dicey situation because you want to make sure to get gifts for those co-workers you have a special relationship above and beyond the boss. But, sometimes the stress of knowing you have to buy something for the boss can make that purchase a priority above your own peers. So take into consideration which prioritized purchase will cause you optimal results and take it from there.
Neighbors – It depends on your living situation and neighborhood. You might feel pressure to get a neighbor a gift when you neglected to do it last year and they showed up with a fruit basket and you had to scram to find something. This brings me to the final tip.
BACK UP GIFTS and RE-GIFTS
Have back up gifts ready to go. You may find a co-worker or neighbor that you didn't put on your list so be ready with something in the event you find yourself in this harry situation. And if you don't have anything in your arsenal your final option is the re-gift. That is okay. Something is better than nothing, right?
Happy shopping and know that I start my shopping Christmas eve afternoon so… these tips can apply to any last minute shopping situations and provide you immediate results.

Our hotel is situated just a half-block from Union Square, placing you at the heart of San Francisco attractions and offering an unbeatable place to begin your visit to San Francisco. If San Francisco has a crossroads, it's Union Square. It's the city's center for shopping and theater, as well as many other San Francisco things to do. Union Square itself hosts art shows, lunchtime opera, last-minute rock concerts, and the city's annual Christmas tree.
If you like a morning walk, step out of your spacious accommodations to the corner of Post and Powell. Walk down the diagonal path through Union Square's center, heading for Neiman Marcus. Half a block to your left you'll discover the entrance to Maiden Lane, a delightful two-block alley of exclusive boutiques. The inside of the Frank Lloyd Wright building at 140 Maiden Lane is a study for his interior for the Guggenheim Museum. If youre coming in from dinner, take a few minutes to walk a block down Post to Tiffany & Co. Their window designers display extraordinary creativity on their very small scale. Stop in the bookstore on the way back; it's open until 11pm.
This one-block plaza and its surrounding area holds one of the largest collections of department stores, upscale boutiques, gift shops, art galleries, and beauty salons in the country.
One of the busiest and beloved tourist attractions in the western United States, Fisherman's Wharf is best known for being home to Pier 39, the Cannery Shopping Center, Ghirardelli Square, a Ripley's Believe it or Not ;museum, the Musée Mécanique, the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf, the Aquarium of the Bay, and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. There are also numerous seafood restaurants to enjoy.
At Pier 39, indulge in a wide array of shops, restaurants, a video arcade, street performances, an interpretive center for the Marine Mammal Center, the Aquarium of the Bay, virtual 3D rides, and views of California sea lions on the marina.
Moscone Center is the largest convention and exhibition complex in San Francisco. It comprises three main halls for special events, conventions and expos.
SFMOMA holds an internationally recognized collection of modern and contemporary art and was the first museum on the West Coast devoted solely to 20th century art. The museum's current collection includes over 29,000 works of painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, design, and media arts.
Located in the South of Market(SoMa) neighborhood, the park has served as the home of the San Francisco Giants since 2000.
This large urban park consists of 1,017 acres of public grounds and welcomes more than 13 million visitors each year. It is home to the De Young Museum, the Academy of Sciences, the Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers.
Easily considered the most iconic symbol of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge is heralded as one of the top ten construction achievements of the 20th Century. The structure links San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County, bridging both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait.
Mission San Francisco de Asís, or Mission Dolores, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco and the sixth religious settlement established as part of the California chain of missions.
Perhaps best known as the principal street in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, Haight Street is known for its history of hippie subculture.

Idaho Education News is the Whore of The Albertson Foundation
by Travis Manning
Sen. Branden Durst's recent op-ed critiquing Superintendent Luna's "end around" the Idaho legislature, and his subsequent analysis of GOP political genealogy, has merit, especially as it relates to a newly minted news organization called Idaho Education News (IEN).
Funded by The Albertson Foundation, IEN started seven months ago in order to advance the school privatization agenda of Chairman Joe Scott. They bought the Boise State University name, where IEN is housed, simply by donating millions of dollars. Strategically, Albertson hired away established reporters Kevin Richert, Jennifer Swindell and Clark Corbin to do its messaging work, under the auspices of their new identity. Albertson uses the B.S.U. trademark as a PR gimmick to expedite credibility within Idaho.
Albertson and IEN blur the arena of ethical journalism, which situation is different from Boise State's relationship with National Public Radio, where Boise State Public Radio, an NPR affiliate, is housed. In this case, NPR is an already-established news entity with decades-long experience and an international reputation for quality and unbiased reporting. IEN is far from achieving NPR's status.
While I wouldn't say IEN produces "pseudo journalism," as Sen. Durst suggests, I will say they have work to do. If IEN is not careful, they will be seen as the propaganda arm of Scott and Albertson, much like IdahoReporter.com is seen as the propaganda machine of The Idaho Freedom Foundation and Executive Director Wayne Hoffman (and whomever else funds the IFF, as Hoffman refuses to publicly disclose its corporate master).
I queried Betsy Russell, president of the Capitol Correspondents Association, as to why IEN received full press credentials as an upstart news organization and IdahoReporter has not. Her response, that "All three of their reporters are B.S.U. employees. The grant from the Albertson Foundation went to B.S.U. No one involved with the operation is involved in lobbying, which is key to credentialing. That is why IdahoReporter.com doesn't qualify; it is a lobbying organization headed by a registered lobbyist."
In a recent IEN article, cross-published by the Idaho Press-Tribune on July 19 titled, "Nampa, Vallivue among districts chosen for Idaho Leads program," such a disclosure was not placed. Whenever IEN reports on projects associated with The Albertson Foundation it is, essentially, reporting on itself. Not to disclose such a conflict of interest is entirely unethical. The Idaho Press-Tribune, and news outlets statewide, need to be cognizant.
While IEN does a decent job allowing for a diverse cadre of op-eds, they have much work to do regarding selection of news topics and the angle and trajectory from which they report on these topics.
IEN reporters tend to report fairly on education issues occurring within Idaho state government (legislature, Idaho state school board, Idaho Department of Education, and within a handful of school districts). However. Idaho's public schools, teachers and students are doing amazing things, especially in the current political environment rife with policymakers who despise Idaho's public school system, its teachers, and its outcomes. IEN needs desperately to broaden its content and reporting to include the many successes occurring within Idaho's public schools – not just charter schools – both large and small, across the state, especially rural schools, and especially regarding traditionally underserved populations.
This bias towards charter schools and against public schools casts a long shadow across IEN's early body of work.
Finally, IEN has not examined how the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is drafting many of Idaho's so called education reform laws behind closed doors with legislators, lobbyists and politicians at the table – but not the public – which practice circumvents democracy.
Idaho Education News needs to report on the elephant in the room.

Welcome to the Penn Lab
The Penn lab studies the role of placental factors in brain development. The placenta produces a wide array of neuroactive hormones. This endocrine function can be disrupted in many ways— by abnormal gene expression, infection, preeclampsia, prematurity— resulting in long-term damage to the fetus or newborn. Preterm birth, which now accounts for 10% of all deliveries, provides the most extreme case of hormone loss. To understand the placenta's hormonal contribution to normal brain development and to loss following preterm birth, we pursue investigations that range from the development of novel mouse models to use of human infant data obtained at Packard Children's Hospital. Our projects focus on testing the role of placental hormones by:
We hope to open new avenues for therapeutic treatments to improve neurological outcome in preterm infants and in others at high risk of developmental brain damage due to placental injury or failure.
We are a multi-disciplinary group consisting of PhD scientists, MD clinical fellows and students at various stages (from high school to doctoral studies.) Our collaborations span the campus from Psychiatry to Computer Science to Pathology. We are in the Division of Neonatal and Developmental Medicine in the Dept of Pediatrics, as well as a part of the Neuroscience Program and BioX.

SuccubusDecember 21st, 2007
Imagine an old, big house and a pretty babe living there all by herself, once she starts masturbating and feels that someone is in the room, what is it? Who is she? Have you ever had sex with a ghost?
Katie gave a tender kiss to Emma and unlocked the door.
-So, see you tomorrow then, – she said, hoping Emma would change her mind and stay for the night.
Emma shuddered. She looked up at black windows that seemed to be watching them.
-This stupid house. I've always hated it, -she drawled finally. She stretched her hand and petted Katie's cheek. – You don't have to stay here. You can get back to my apartment.
Katie smiled broadly.
-I won't be able to get here then, you know it.
-Yeah, I know. But we were totally wasted that time. What's so special about this house anyway?
Katie shrugged her shoulders. She opened the door.
-Are you coming or what?
Emma was frowning.
-I'm really sorry but you don't wanna even listen to me. I'm leaving.
She turned away. She was wearing a short black skirt, her stiletto boots were clattering when she was walking away. Katie was looking at her closely, hoping Emma would change her mind and get back to her. Emma wasn't a stubborn girl. But she never even looked back. When she crossed the street and got in her car, her lover sighed sadly and came into the house.
Sunset beams were drawing funny pics on the floor, reflecting in the stained glass of the door. It smelled of dust, candies and wax. Katie smiled and thought back to her past. She remembered she used to feel the same smell in her granny's house. It was a pity, Emma was still afraid of her crazy aunt's house. It was absolutely clear the house was wonderful. It was meant to be living in happily. What for to sell it?
She went upstairs touching wooden banisters, feeling their coldness. Her sack was full of candles, food, fragrance sticks, and coffee flask. What else could she need to spend a nice evening all alone in a strange house?
Dusty cases covered furniture. Seemed there was an ice rock in the center of the room. Nobody had lived in the house since her granny passed away. It was sure nobody had entered the house, no bums, no teens. Were they all afraid of spooky stories?
Katie came into one of the bedrooms. Purple red velvet curtains covered the windows. The bed had the same color bed curtains. There was also golden decoration on it. It was such a posh bed! She realized aunt Emma used to sleep in that bed.
When she was through with her dinner it was pretty dark in the street. Katie found four cut-glass candlesticks and used them to light the candles she brought. She lit the fragrance sticks as well. Streams of grey-blue aroma were getting up to the ceiling.
She was dressing off. She pulled off her platform boots, leather trousers and black T-shirt. She looked at her reflection in the mirror over the fireplace. Her eyes looked so big against her small face. Candles were highlighting her snow-white skin and red hair. She was wearing just her fishnet lingerie, admiring her thin waist and round hips. Seemed the whole house was staring at her. She didn't mind.
Her hands were resting on her boobs and then got lower. She touched the tattooed rose on her left hip, then she reached for her bush, sticking out of the fishnet outfit. The house was arousing her. She'd been dreaming of spending a night there since the first time Emma showed her the place. Katie couldn't even believe it was Emma's house. And it was the night she'd been waiting for so long. She knew what would happen next.
-You'll be mine. I'll live here with Emma. – She told the house.
When the morning came she would call Emma to come over. Her lips, frisky tongue and skillful fingers would make her lover understand they had to move to the house. They would be lying in the bed, making love to each other. She would prove Emma there was nothing to be afraid of. But first…
What for to hurry? Katie inhaled vanilla aroma. The light reflected from the stone in her pierced nose. Red mob of her hair fell on her shoulders. She was trembling excitedly when getting in bed.
The blanket was dusty as well. The house was watching her, shadows seemed to have come closer to the bed. She was getting more and more aroused. She imagined she was lying in the bed with Emma. Her hands were roaming over the body. She was taking her time, fondling her boobs – she was squeezing and pinching them, or letting them go. Her fishnet was squeezing the breasts tight, cutting the nipples, making her arousal grow faster.
She was very slow, caressing her belly. She was getting to her wet bush. She bent her knees and spread them wider for the dusty air to fondle her wet pussy. She signed. Her aroma got mixed with the fragrance's and filled the room. Her fingers spread the vulva lips and pressed against the love button. She closed her eyes, concentrating on her sensations. Her hand slipped downwards, getting in the hot hole and then got back again to caress the erect clit.
She heard whisper at her ear. The whisper was tender and passionate. Katie started but wasn't scared. She opened her eyes. She looked around but saw nobody in the room. The room changed. She felt the smell of musk and lily. She felt somebody WAS present in the room. She was drawn to him\her. But it was dark in the room safe for candle light and moon light from out the window. Katie smiled frustrated. All those stupid sounds… She remembered foolish stories about ghosts and vampires.
And the shadow moved.
Katie was short of breath. She was lying still. Her heart was beating really fast.
-Come here, – she whispered.
The darkness moved. There was something shining in its center. The haze got thicker and she saw a woman. It was a nude beautiful woman with snow-white skin and black hair. Moon light was seen through her transparent flesh, pearls glares were roaming over her white skin. Katie heard silent but insistent whispering in her head. She was probably dreaming. She started laughing. But I'm NOT sleeping, she realized then. It was real! Her hands fell on the blanket. Her pussy was pulsing.
The woman bent her head and kissed Katie. She hardly ever touched her lips. She got in the bed and lay close to Katie. She was so light, airy and almost weightless. Katie's hips started shivering when the white fingers were caressing her skin. She felt breathing on her cheek, the tongue got in her ear to fondle the lobe. Pale thin, but strong hands were holding her tight. Katie felt cold embrace. Big boobs were pressing against her boobs. The woman was moaning, swaying from side to side, her erect nipples were rubbing against Katie's ones.
Katie loved the caress. She was on the verge of delight. She arched her back, moaning. The woman's skin was getting warmer. When her skin touched Katie's it seems like it was silk touching her skin. There was fishnet lingerie parting them. But it created a perfect contrast between silk and net.
Katie raised her head and sucked on a nipple. The nipple was hard and firm. She was sucking it, caressing it with her tongue at the same time. She was squeezing the woman's knockers. Her saliva made the nipple shine in the moonlight. Katie felt her hand getting over her head. In a moment she felt long white fingers caressing her hips. The nails were playing with her bush, touching her swollen vulva lips. Katie moaned loudly. She wished that sweet torture lasted forever.
Long black hair was sliding down her hips, felt like a silk scarf was lying on her stomach. Katie spread her hips, raised her pelvis, and arched her back. Long fingers opened her pussy. She felt the tongue toying with her lips. Katie was raising her hips, trying to catch the tempo of the tongue. The tongue reached the clit. Katie was getting hotter.
When Katie felt like cumming, the woman stopped fondling her. Katie had no time to say something when strong hands turned her to her stomach. Her face was buried in the dusty blanket. Long nails spread her buttocks, and she felt the hot tongue in her snatch. It was fondling her pussy, getting up to the pink anus. Katie cried out, her hips were quivering, when tip of the tongue entered her hole.
Skillful fingers were pleasing her vagina. She felt vanilla smell. Her first orgasm seized her when two fingers got in her pussy. There was another wave f orgasm and another one, and when she finally reached the climax she felt teeth sticking in her buttocks, and nails in her skin. She was crying, her voice was heard all over the house. The bliss was so unusual, the sensations were so bright, she seemed to be about to lose consciousness.
When she opened her eyes she saw her head handing down the bed. She was having rest after feeling new, incredible sensations. Katie raised her head. The pale body was standing by the window. The woman was staring at her. She read supplication in her eyes. It seemed to Katie the figure was petering out in the air. She could hardly see shoulders in the dark. She heard the same old whisper in her head:
-Stay. I'll come often to please you. I live for you. I can be the way you want me to be. Please, give me a chance to come to you again…
The woman reached her hand to touch Katie. The darkness was devouring the body. Katie smiled happily. Now she knew why Emma's crazy aunt was so unwilling to leave her house – she could get all pleasure she wanted right there in her bedroom. Katie knew what she had to do.
She stretched her hand and hugged the woman's hips. She felt the hips get warmer. She pressed her face against the soft stomach. Her cheek was rubbing against the black soft bush. She inhaled the smell of musk and lily. She was getting hot again.
She bent her head and spread the vulva lips, feeling the salty taste of the pussy. The cold skin was getting warmer from her caress. The hands, resting on her shoulders were getting stronger. When Katie told the woman to get in the bed she thought of Emma, the Emma she had been so willing to talk into living in the house. Katie had something else on her mind now. The house belonged to HER. Emma would only have to spend a night there to disappear forever.

I definitely have a huge advantage when it comes down to exchanging punches. That's my strong point, and that's definitely going to be his weak point.
I can't not picture me knocking him out. So he better do some chin-ups or whatever he needs to do to make him strong, because I'm coming for him. He's not going to be able to handle my power standing and banging. He stands in the pocket with me, he's gonna get knocked out.
Those words might as well have served as the last will and testament of noted patriarch Brett Rogers, who upon saying them, all but signed up to be violently and karmatically (for a number of reasons) knocked out by Fedor Emelianenko at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers on November 7th, 2009 – four years ago today.
Us Zuffa shills tend to forget this, but before Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, or Georges St. Pierre started dominating our "Greatest Mixed Martial Artist of All Time" (aka "The G.O.A.T") debates, there was an emotionless Russian killer who was universally viewed in this light. His name was Fedor Emelianenko, and after quietly building a reputation as PRIDE's most dominant fighter over in Japan, "The Last Emperor" made his long-awaited stateside debut against Tim Sylvia at Affliction: Banned in July of 2008.
The fight would confirm what we already knew about Fedor, as would his next fight with Andrei Arlovski at Affliction: Day of Reckoning, but it wasn't until his monumental signing with Strikeforce (a Strikeforce was kind of like a Bellator, but we don't have time to discuss semantics) that US fans were truly introduced to the mythical Russian. And for his first "true" test, Emelianenko was given Brett "Da Grim" Rogers, a then-undefeated slugger who had one-upped Fedor by KO'ing Arlovski in just 22 seconds in his previous fight.
Fedor fans near and far flooded Illinois for the chance to see their hero compete. Fedor detractors (*cough* Dana White *cough*), on the other hand, were chomping at the bit to see him fail like they knew he would all along. And for the first five minutes of the contest, it looked as if the latter group might actually get their wish. Rogers punished Emelianenko with ground-n-pound, leaving "The Last Emperor" in worse shape than fans had ever seen prior.
But there is a reason why one round MMA fights were outlawed in the Geneva Convention, Potato Nation.
Like a scene out of a Friday the 13th movie (specifically, Jason Takes Manhattan), Emelianenko literally decapitated a gassed Rogers with an overhand right just under two minutes into the second, silencing his haters and solidifying his legacy as the baddest man to ever walk the Earth ever.
If our memory serves us correct, Fedor was legally forced to retire from mixed martial and register his hands as weapons of mass destruction after the Rogers fight. Emelianenko would abide with the grace and humility he had become infamous for over his long career, leaving behind a 32-1 record and a lifetime's worth of highlight reel finishes. Yep, that's how we are choosing to remember it. LALALALALA WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, FABRICIO.
Check out a full replay of Fedor vs. Rogers below, then ask yourself if we'll ever see a fighter as perfect and unbeatable as Emelianenko again. Spoiler alert: The answer is no.

The Professional Personnel Leadership Committee is mandated by State law and provides a powerful opportunity for teachers to lead the discussion on curriculum and instruction. The PPLC is superior to, and can replace, the Instructional Leadership Teams that CPS promotes as an alternative to the State-law-mandated committee. See below for the makeup of a PPLC and start one at your school now.
Look at this handy chart comparing PPLCs with PPCs.
One source for the law is here: http://law.onecle.com/illinois/105ilcs5/34-2.4a.html
It says:
(105 ILCS 5/34-2.4a) (from Ch. 122, par. 34-2.4a)
Sec. 34-2.4a. Professional personnel leadership committee.
(a) At each attendance center operated pursuant to this Article, a professional personnel leadership committee consisting of (i) up to 7 members elected each school year who are certified classroom teachers or other certificated personnel, who are employed at the attendance center, and who desire to be members of the committee and (ii) the 2 teacher members of the local school council. The teacher members of the local school council shall serve as co-chairs of the committee, or one teacher member of the local school council chosen by the committee shall serve as chair of the committee.

Use City's recycling calendar to help reduce your impact on the environment
City of Minneapolis recycling customers should watch their mailboxes shortly for the City's 2009 recycling calendar. The calendar will tell you what you can and can't recycle through the City service, and it will show all the dates in 2009 when you should put out your recycling. Recycling saves natural resources, energy and money, and it's easy to recycle in Minneapolis.
More than 90 percent of the households in Minneapolis participate in the City's recycling program, with the average resident recycling around 2.3 pounds of material per day. Two weeks' worth of recycling collections brings in around three-to-four tons of recyclables per truck. Together, we set out more than 23,000 tons of cans, glass, newspaper, etc., to be collected and recycled into new products every year.
It's also easy for residents to recycle their old electronics. In fact, Minneapolis is the only city in the nation where electronics are picked up regularly for recycling. If you have an old TV or other electronic device to get rid of, just set it next to your garbage cart on your recycling day with a sign on it that says, "for solid waste." A crew will come back for it the next business day.
For more information about recycling in Minneapolis, visit Be a Zero Hero.

Ranbir out Imran in for Deepika!Bollywood Trade News Network
IMRAAN KHAN and DEEPIKA PADUKONE
Actress Deepika Padukone, who's making news for her split with Ranbir Kapoor, is taking on more work to focus on her film career. Now, according to latest reports Deepika has signed a film opposite Imran Khan which will be produced by Kunal Kohli in association with Big Pictures.
CHECK OUT: Asin's loss is Deepika's gain
The film will be directed by one of Kunal Kohli's close associate and is expected to go on the floors by early next year. What is interesting is that despite the fact that Imran Khan is Ranbir's best buddy, Deepika chose to do this film, making it clear that she does not wish to mix her personal and professional life.
With Deepika taking on more assignments by the day, looks like her professional life is becoming a new comfort zone for her.


text: I plugged my external drive into another mac to transfer a folder from one of the partitions to create space. What I did was take the folder and place it in my dock. I believe what I did next, I can't remember, is trash the folder that was in the partition. I then emptied the trash. I noticed that the folder I placed on my dock had a question mark signed. I was like " OHH NO!." I tried to savage the files via FileSavage and I don't believe it was recovered. However, there are a lot of zip files that I haven't checked. The folder has over 20 gigs of video. I remember that I made a clone of the drive that I made the partition for so I mounted it and no luck. The folder is not there. I must of cloned it afterwards. I think I'm out of luck since I also deleted the partition. Is there any other way I can recover these files? Could I be doing something wrong other than the wrong I have already done?

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: Electronic Parking Brake
November 26, 2013
The 2014 C7 Corvette did away with a conventional handle-style parking brake on the center console in favor of an electronically actuated brake. The new button is much smaller than the old lever. It yields a tidier center console and a bigger cupholder plus a pop-up 12-volt outlet. But the C6 managed to pack in everything but the pop-up outlet.
I still prefer levers.
Is it worth it?

New Delhi, Jan 2 (IANS) They are angry. They seek justice. They are firm in their demand for the death penalty for rapists. Their demands are now being scribbled on scraps of paper to be forwarded to a committee working on making tougher laws against rape.
A group, formed randomly at the protest site, has started a mission to collect written messages from people protesting the rape and death of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi. The messages will be sent to the Justice J.S. Verma Committee, formed by the government to look into amendments for enhanced punishment in sexual offences of extreme nature against women.
The unnamed group has also started a Facebook page called the "16 December Kranti", where they are posting messages.
"We started to collect messages on pieces of paper from protestors and the public, seeking suggestions from them for security of women and punishments for the accused in the gang-rape case," Vikas Sharma, one of the protestors, told IANS Wednesday.
"We got together to raise our voice. Anyone can join us. We got this idea of collecting letters and messages four days ago Dec 29. We got about a thousand notes in four days," Vikas Tyagi, another protestor, said.
Riddhi Sharma wrote that all six accused should be given the death sentence or chemical castration.
"We need speedy solutions. How many women will have to sacrifice their lives before the government comes out with stringent laws. We want justice. The accused should be punished so that no man thinks about molesting a girl or a woman," Sharma said.
Savita Singh wrote: "Hang the culprits. Laws should be strict for people who break laws."
"We plan to draft the suggestions and submit these to the Justice Verma Committee, as it is the voice of common people," Sharma added.
"You should feel ashamed for insulting a girl. You have mother who gave birth to you. At least you should have learnt to respect her. Are you an animal or a cannibal. All of you should be stripped (the accused). You should get the same punishment as what you did to the gang-rape victim," Suman Sinha said in her letter.
A modest crowd continued the protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding stringent punishment for the six attackers for the Dec 16 brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman who died Dec 29 of vicious injuries inflicted on her.
Two men from Uttar Pradesh continued their hunger strike demanding the death sentence for her attackers.
The protest spot -- with candles burning in memory of the victim -- is guarded by a large number of police and paramilitary personnel.

Business professionals can stay unplugged even longer with an integrated battery in the keyboard docking station that, combined with the standard battery, provides up to an estimated 9 hours1 of operation. Security is iron-clad with a biometric fingerprint sensor, Computrace® support, HDD and BIOS password protection, embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Intel® Anti-Theft Technology, and optional Intel® vPro™ Technology.
The STYLISTIC Q702 hybrid tablet is road-ready with a wide viewing angle LED backlit, AH-IPS anti-glare, ultra-durable display for increased durability.

Release date:November 30, 2012
Studio:Paladin, Fox International
Director:Matthias Schweighofer
MPAA Rating:N/A
Screenwriters:Doron Wisotzky, Matthias Schweighofer
Starring:Matthias Schweighofer, Sibel Kekilli, Elyas M'Barek, Mavie Horbiger, Theresa Underberg, Milan Peschel, Thomas Kretschmann
Official website:WhataMan-derfilm.de
Plot Summary:
Alex (Schweighöfer, "The Red Baron," "Valkyrie," "Night Train") is a thoroughly amiable and domesticated schoolteacher living with his girlfriend Carolin (Mavie Hörbiger). But when Carolin falls for their hunky upstairs neighbor Jens (Thomas Kretschmann), she throws Alex out of their apartment. Heartbroken, Alex seeks solace and refuge with Nele (Sibel Kekilli, "Game of Thrones"), his lifelong best female friend who doesn't know the first thing about relationships. While Alex muses in Nele's messy apartment, thinking of his failed relationship, his buddy Okke (Elyas M'Barek) takes him under his wing to teach him how to be a "real man." Alex's journey into the realm of so-called manly behavior fails miserably, and he starts to realize that maybe it's not a question of how to change himself but, instead, how to find a woman who loves him just the way he is.

The Texas Rangers fell nine games below .500 on Tuesday and lost another star in the process.
Adrian Beltre exited Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics in the eighth inning after suffering a left hamstring strain.
The All-Star connected on an RBI hit to the gap in right-center field but could barely reach first base after pulling up lame five steps out of the box.
Beltre, who boosted his average to .310 after the hit, immediately left the game with a trainer and was replaced by pinch-runner Drew Robinson. While the Rangers say the veteran will be re-evaluated on Wednesday, he will likely spend time on the disabled list as he did last season with a similar injury.
Beltre is the latest injury for the 8-17 Rangers, who currently have Rougned Odor (hamstring) and Elvis Andrus (elbow) on the shelf.

Name: McKenna Morrow
From: Green Bay, Wisconsin
Grade: 12
School: Ashwaubenon High School
Votes: 0
Impacted My Life, Too
Throughout the past four years of my high school career, I have volunteered my service to
many different organizations in my community where I have accumulated
148.5 hours, leading me to be recognized as Student of the Month by
The Rotary Club. When I think about my previous volunteer
experiences, the most rewarding experience was volunteering for our
communities softball program. This program is called the Ashwaubenon
Girls Softball Association (AGSA). While volunteering for AGSA, my
responsibilities included helping younger girls learn softball
fundamentals, work concession stands during games, scoreboard games
and most importantly, support and cheer for each girl.
Volunteering for AGSA has been my most rewarding experience because it has allowed me
to give back to the program that has done a great amount to shape who
I am today. Because I have grown up playing AGSA softball, I know
that this program is not only about giving girls around the community
the opportunity to learn and play softball; AGSA also teaches girls
important skills such as communication, team work, leadership,
sportsmanship, perseverance and respect. Helping to teach each girl
these skills is the most satisfactory element of volunteering for
AGSA, along with making friendships and seeing the joy in each girls
face when they play softball. However, teaching girls how to play
softball does not come without its challenges.
As a volunteer, it's our job to keep the girls interested and
excited about learning how to play softball. The most challenging
part about our job is when a girl gives up on trying to learn
softball. Once a girl makes up her mind about not wanting to play
softball, it becomes very difficult to change her mind; however, with
enough support and reassurance from volunteers like me (girls who
play softball in high school), we can hopefully change her mind. By
helping these girls with working through their challenges and
cheering with them during their success, I discovered my passion for
working with people. As I venture off to college and begin to look at
different career choices, I now know that I need to work in a field
where I will be able to make strong relationships while still helping
the people in need. The career choice that I feel most fits this
criteria is to become an Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN).
When I get older, I plan to continue to volunteer for the community. I find that I get
the most satisfaction out of volunteering for acts of service that I
am most passionate in; therefor, I am able to say that I will
volunteer for organizations that coincide with the career field that
I will work in. If my plan to become an OB/GYN succeeds, my volunteer
work will consist of trying to raise awareness of rare birth defects,
STD's and offering my service to clinics where I would work for no
charge for those who can not afford insurance.

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia wants to help Richard O'Dwyer, ex-administrator of UK based video linking website TVShack. UK authorities want to extradite Richard O'Dwyer to US authorities for copyright infringements. Jimmy Wales reckons that this case is an example of the ever-growing influence of the copyright lobby over the Internet. Already, Richard O'Dwyer has become popular to the general public for battling the content industry for public interests.
Richard O'Dwyer has been arrested last year by police for operating video linking site TVShack. Although internet activists believe that O'Dwyer was operating the site under UK law and isn't at fault of breaking them, UK authorities are not happy with the actions of the student cum former site administrator. In March, UK home secretary accepted the extradition request of the 'pirating' student from US authorities. An appeal is waiting to the High Court about the controversial extradition which is based on alleged copyright infringements.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has launched a petition website for O'Dwyer. Alongside, he has requested UK's Home Secretary for stopping this extradition.
Wales said, "When operating his site, Richard O'Dwyer always did his best to play by the rules: on the few occasions he received requests to remove content from copyright holders, he complied. His site hosted links, not copyrighted content, and these were submitted by users."
Few days ago, Mr. Wales has met with Richard O'Dwyer and he explained that this clash is an example between civil liberties and the interest of the copyright industries.
He also added, "Copyright is an important institution, serving a beneficial moral and economic purpose. But that does not mean that copyright can or should be unlimited. It does not mean that we should abandon time-honored moral and legal principles to allow endless encroachments on our civil liberties in the interests of the moguls of Hollywood."
