What's better than an easter egg? How about a FREE easter egg!
When Hotel Chocolat say an egg is extra thick they really mean it – look at it!!! That chocolate is soooooo thick it's a challenge to bite through it….a challenge I met, you'll be pleased to know!
My egg was the "Your Eggsellency" extra thick egg – it suits all tastes as one shell is milk chocolate and the other is dark chocolate studded with cocoa nibs – it's a great egg to share as there's something for everyone. If that wasn't enough, it's filled with deliciously boozy truffle eggs including champagne and strawberry, rum and caramel, and amaretto. Whoever said "yummy" is spot on!
So, now you are drooling in anticipation of receiving one of these beauties, you'll be wondering how you can win. It couldn't be easier – simply leave a comment telling me who you'd like to deliver your easter egg (it could be a relative, a celebrity, a fictional character or the Easter bunny himself!) and what sort of chocolate the egg would be made from.
Closing date for comments is 11.59pm Saturday 27 March and I'll make the draw and post details of the winner on Sunday 28. Hotel Chocolat will send the egg to the winner.
Good luck

There's a front-page story in the New York Times about the possibility that a right-wing super PAC will launch a racially charged attack against President Obama centering on his relationship with the dreadful Rev. Jeremiah Wright. This is the campaign that John McCain famously, and honorably, refused to launch in 2008. I suspect it probably would have been devastating but not definitive: Obama probably would have won, in any case, having proved his chops to the country by his calm and smart reaction to the financial crisis. But would it work now?
I think, on its face, the campaign is ridiculous, given what we now know of the President. We now know, for one thing, that he isn't much of a churchgoer — his claim that he wasn't around for Wright's incendiary sermons rests on the solid basis of all the Sundays he's spent playing basketball and on the golf course. More important, we know that Barack Obama — Barack Hussein Obama — is an American patriot who has waged a highly successful war against this nation's terrorist enemies, especially al-Qaeda. The notion that he is some sort of secret Muslim terrorist, which festered in 2008 (and festers still among some profoundly damaged people), has been proved to be hateful drivel. Even the notion that he is some sort of leftist seems silly: he didn't break up or nationalize the big Wall Street banks, his health care and climate-change proposals were Republican ideas.
So what is this all about? Actually, it's about taxes. The disgraceful gazillionaire, Joe Ricketts, who commissioned the proposal for this ad campaign is mostly concerned about "ending spending." What on earth does that have to do with Jeremiah Wright? Well, there is a twisted school of thought that government spending is all about giving poor people money and lining the pockets of charlatans like Wright. That's nonsense, of course. Government spending is all about giving money to the elderly to pay for pensions and health care, and giving money to maintain a strong military. We pay $1 billion per year for Head Start; we pay $820 billion for Social Security; we pay $85 billion for food stamps (much of which goes to people who lost their jobs in the Wall Street crash-recession); we pay $853 billion for defense. Over the past 30 years we've seen that Democrats want to pay those bills and Republicans don't.
Obama could have and should have done more to pare down unnecessary programs and government regulations. It is fair game to attack him for deficit spending, for Obamacare, for Dodd-Frank. But the President has shown that the Wright-induced fears were groundless. He's not a black militant. He's a moderate. And I must say that any attempt to inject race into this campaign, in such a gross manner, could have vast unintended consequences for the Republican Party — which has done its best to alienate blacks and Hispanics — in a country where the majority of births are now nonwhite.

A post on the EA website by Lucy Bradshaw has the latest word from the Maxis label general manager to discuss the fairly disastrous launch for SimCity, their online-only urban planning game. She explains what's going on with the game, and promises those who have suffered through its launch will be rewarded with a free game. "And to get us back in your good graces, we're going to offer you a free PC download game from the EA portfolio. On March 18, SimCity players who have activated their game will receive an email telling them how to redeem their free game," she writes. "I know that's a little contrived – kind of like buying a present for a friend after you did something crummy. But we feel bad about what happened. We're hoping you won't stay mad and that we'll be friends again when SimCity is running at 100 percent." Here's word on the current status of the game:

I'm considering home schooling.
Of course I should be more specific--I don't typically "approve" (my, doesn't that sound so condescending?) of homeschooling. It's a fine idea in principle but my completely unscientific anecdotal studies have shown me that most people who attempt this amazing feat tend to produce inferior results. Don't get me wrong--I'm not condemning it outright, it's just that among all the billions of people I know who have tried to homeschool their kids I've only seen three--count them three--cases where I thought the experience a success.
More often I seen children who have a hard time socializing (though that's a horribly worn-out argument against homeschooling and I don't know that I buy it) who have a hard time with the basic educational requirements. In other words, they can't read. I have the occasional family that takes the money and runs, leaving junior to be the unpaid help in the family business rather than actually making the huge commitment that proper homeschooling takes.
Sigh. So I've been terribly suspicious of the whole idea. Then, on top of that I'm actually quite happy with the school system (speaking in broad generalities). The teachers my kids have had in elementary and middle school have been great--hats off to them. But ever since Grace hit high school there have been issues. She watches more tv at school than she does at home, she's had teachers openly flirting with female students, teachers who consistently show up 10-30 minutes late for class (and by "consistently" I mean pretty much every day), not to mention those that just don't bother to teach.
Then there's the curriculum. When I was in high school we read Shakespeare, Chaucer, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Dickens, you name it. And then we wrote about it. Today she reads things like Jodi Picoult's 19 Minutes (about a Columbine-style school shooting). Her junior year she finally, actually and for the first time picked up anything close to a "classic" (Macbeth) and then instead of reading it they watched a graphic movie version. Don't get me wrong, Shakespeare it meant to be seen rather than read so I don't have a gripe with that per se, it's just the lack of discussion and analysis, the falling back on television as an entertainment rather than using it to actually teach.
There's nothing wrong with modern literature as long as you can prove to me that it can teach as well as that which was produced by the masters. And I'm just not thinking that Picoult can rival the greats at any level. Not in characterization, theme, literary tools or depth. Dumb English department.
So what does this mean folks? Well I've come to a parting of the ways, a crossroad if you will. Forget Grace, there's no hope for salvaging her senior year in the liberal arts, she's only taking a half-day next year anyway and she reads and studies enough on the side that she's doing fine with her own interest in education but Spencer? He'll be hitting ninth grade this fall and he's not someone who will pick up a book on his own to see what he's been missing in English class. I could supplement it all with my own reading requirements but his schedule doesn't permit extra work, we need to find ways to replace what isn't working with stuff that will meet his needs.
The plan is to sign him up with a homeschool program here in town then go back and sign up for the maximum number of three high school classes he's allowed to take. That will be his biology, geometry and Spanish and I should mention that I've had no gripes with the math and science teachers there; on the contrary, I've been impressed with their quality and strength of teaching, plus I don't feel I'm competent to teach those subjects anyway.
For his PE credits he can take extra curricular sports (which he'd do anyway) and then as he's interested in studying graphic design we'll get him local art lessons and from what I've been able to deduce, they're superior in every way to the classes at the school, especially in the areas he needs (drawing). That leaves history and English for me and between my own abilities and the online resources such as Williamsburg Academy I think we can get the job done. He could even take classes at the University here or BYU homestudy online. He's already proved to us that he can handle the discipline of online courses because he's just finished a series of online classes in Adobe Illustrator and has plans to next tackle Photoshop.
So what do you think? Am I crazy? My biggest concern is making sure he's getting what he needs to be able to test at the needed levels. I don't want him to get a year or two into things and then realize he's way behind and has no chance on the SAT or ACT. Boy that would be bad, wouldn't it?
Do you see any holes in this plan? Give it your best shot before we do something I'll later regret and irrevocably ruin my son's chances at an education.
And in related news--our friend Treg Taylor is running for the school board which I find gives me a great deal of hope. It's not that the whole system needs to be thrown out and remade but I think he's someone who can make some crucial changes to get things back on track. Good luck Treg!

LONGMONT -- The sorrowful tones of "Taps" bid farewell Thursday morning to a man who spent 46 years of his life leading the Longmont Police Department's reserve program.
Herman "Smitty" Schmitt was a reserve officer who helped to found the program in 1966. He spent much of his tenure at the Longmont Police Department as a captain or commander.
"I was always very impressed with the amount of energy he had for the role," said retired Longmont Police Sgt. Gary Schmidt, who served on the American Legion Honor Guard, which also provided funeral honors for Schmitt, who died Sunday at Longmont United Hospital.
Schmidt served as a liaison between the department and the reserve program, which he said disbanded upon Schmitt's retirement in 2009.
"He was always the boss, the guy who made sure things got done," Schmidt said.
Longmont Police Sgt. Joel Post said Schmitt was friendly to everyone.
"It is like someone said (during the service,) if you knew him, he was your friend. He was really friendly to everybody," he said.
The reserve program used to number up to 30 officers, who would train alongside professional officers and assist as needed.
Schmitt worked for IBM for 26 years and retired in 1992. He went on to start his own small handyman business called Smitty Does It.
Active and retired police officers attended the funeral on Thursday at Ahlberg Funeral Chapel along with family and friends.
Longmont Police dispatch aired an End of Watch call for Schmitt, ending the call "Cmdr. Schmitt is off of watch. May he rest in peace."
The police honor guard presented U.S. flags to each of his six grandchildren and his brother. The American Legion presented a flag to his wife, Donna.

Kay Commentary 2012-09-08
The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:
I just read a publication from the California Coalition for Immigration Reform listing 15 reasons spelling out why Obamacare if implemented will destroy our beloved U.S. as we know it. I will share the information with you in this and the next Commentary. Please remember Obamacare will probably go away if Obama loses this election!
With a 5-4 decision to uphold Obamacare, America is now headed for a complete and total disaster as it is fully implemented. Obamacare is going to absolutely flood and shred the infrastructure of our medical system, send health insurance premiums soaring, dramatically expand the size and scope of government, fundamentally alter relationships between doctors and their patients, and is one of the largest tax increases in U.S. history. It is also going to add about $1 Trillion (with a T) to our national debt over the next decade.
Here is the beginning of the 15 reasons why Obamacare is a disaster:
#1. According the U.S. Supreme Court, the federal government has the power to force you to buy private goods and services. Now that this Bill has been opened, what else will we be forced to buy in the future?
#2. Obamacare is another step away from individual liberty, and another step towards a nanny state where the government dominates our lives from cradle to grave.
#3. The IRS is now going to be given the task of hunting down and penalizing millions of Americans that do not have any health insurance. The Obama administration has give the IRS an extra $500 million outside of the normal appropriations process to help them enforce the provisions of Obamacare.
#4. Obamacare imposes more than 20 new taxes on the American people (Google Americans for tax reform, for details).
#5. To control costs and promote efficiency, Obamacare limits the treatment options that doctors and patients can consider. This will result in a decrease in life expectancy in the United States.
Listeners: I will hopefully continue this Commentary next week with the next ten reasons why we must defeat Obamacare.
For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.

He is a smooth athletic LB that is very versatile. Moore is good in coverage, a natural pass rusher, and highly productive. At UConn he was the weak-side LB in a 4-3 and he played some DE in a 4-3 alignment. At he Senior Bowl he obviously played LB, but he also got a couple of reps at DE with outstanding results; he got a sack one play as a DE and a QB pressure on the other.
Moore stats for 2012:
72 tackles
15.5 tackles for loss
7.5 sacks
11 pass broken up
As far as Zaviar Gooden is concerned I would take him in the first three rounds of the draft. Gooden reminds me of a smaller version of Aaron Curry; incredibly fast, but instincts are below average. Gooden will probably blow up the combine, but I don't trust his instincts or coverage skills.

Twas two nights before Christmas up in Seattle
The Niners in town, Kaep would be rattled.
The 12th man flag was hung to the stadiums roar
In hopes of a Superbowl win like never before.
The fans were all dressed in their green and blue
With visions of Niners to a boisterous "BOO!"
With some in their #12's and other's in their #3's
The 12th man would bring Harbaugh to his knees.
When out on the field, Sherm got a fumble
He danced around, so far from humble.
Up to my feet I jumped in a hurry.
Gore staggered to the bench, his vision blurry.
The lights on the jerseys so fresh and new
Gave the luster of hope and dreams to come true.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
The 50 point offense, which now defenses fear.
With a little young QB, so lively with hustle
I knew in a moment it must be St. Russell.
More rapid then Seahawks his offense it came
As he signaled and shouted and called them by name.
Run Golden! Run Sidney! Run Miller and Baldwin!
Beat Aldon! Beat Justin! Beat Whitner and Golstin!
To the end of the field! Russ will throw you the ball!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!
As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly
The defensive backs, they got ran right by.
So up in the air the football it flew
To an open receiver, Wilson's read was true.
And then in a twinkling, it landed in Golden's hands
It looked like he'd score, strike up the band.
But he drew in his head and was turning around.
He got tackled by Willis, the ball was downed.
DangeRuss was dressed in blue, from his head to his feet,
The look in his eyes would not allow defeat.
The hopes of Hawk Nation was hung on his back
With the ball at the two they're ready to attack.
His eyes how they focused. His glare was so steady.
He'd watched film all week, so we knew he was ready.
His offense around him all huddled up tight
About to send Niner fans crying into the night.
He listened to the play radio'd into his head
The noise, it went quiet, nervous silence instead.
He knelt in the huddle, gave the play to the team
No nerves here, cool as ice he did seem.
He was short and small, a right elf like QB
But to be the best was his future destiny.
A clap of their hands, they ran up to the line
The intensity said it was game winning time.
He barked out his cadence, took the shotgun snap
Offered the ball to Lynch but pulled it out of his grasp.
It was a quarterback bootleg with no one around!
So into the endzone Wilson went with a bound.
He sprang for the score, the ref blew the whistle.
The game was over, down came the confetti and tinsel
But I heard Russell exclaim as the lockerroom he went in
Merry Christmas to All, and here comes a Super Bowl win!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all
**Edit** Alternate ending for public demand:
He sprang for the score, the ref blew the whistle.
The game was over, down came the confetti and tinsel
But I heard Russell exclaim in his media talks
Merry Christmas to All, and let's go Hawks!!

The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health recognizes the critical role community health centers (CHCs) play in delivering health care to Latin@ communities across the country.
And so does the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA): the health care reform law will provide $11 billion between 2011 and 2015 to support and expand operations of community health centers.
What exactly are Community Health Centers and how do they help our communities stay healthy?
Community health centers (CHCs) provide affordable, culturally-competent comprehensive primary and preventive health care services to low-income individuals living in medically underserved areas. In practice, this means that a community health center may be the only health care provider accessible to those in our community who most need care.
Community health centers receive specific federal funding to provide free or low-cost services, including reproductive health services like cancer screenings and contraception. Studies show that CHCs play a pivotal role in providing essential reproductive health care for low-income women, including prenatal care, mammograms and Pap tests. Community health centers provide care regardless of one's ability to pay, immigration status, or primary language. They are often governed by a community board, whose membership is at least half composed of health center patients themselves and understand the community's needs.
In 2010, approximately 1,100 federally-funded community health centers provided care to 19.5 million Americans. Latinos represent over one-third of all CHC patients and in 2009, 865,000 patients at these centers were migrant and seasonal farmworkers, many of them Latinas. In the new health reform law, $9.5 billion will go to create new CHCs in medically underserved areas as well as expand the types of health services provided at these centers. $1.5 billion will go to enhance infrastructure at existing community health centers.
Why is this funding so important for our community?
With millions of Americans living without health care insurance, there is a dire need for more community health centers to provide essential primary and preventive health care services. Among all racial and ethnic groups, Latinos have the highest health care uninsurance rates. We also know that Latinas disproportionately suffer from conditions and diseases such as cervical cancer and HIV/AIDS among others, so increasing the reach of CHCs will improve access to preventive health services and may begin to reduce health disparities. And finally, as undocumented immigrants and permanent residents who have had that status for five years or less will continue to be ineligible for Medicaid, community health centers will continue to play a unique role on providing quality care regardless of immigration status.
For more information about Community Health Centers,please check out NLIRH's fact sheet, Medicaid and Community Health Centers Threatened with Funding Cuts: What is really at stake for Latinas and Immigrant Communities?

Graveside services, officiated by Pastor Don White, are 2 p.m. Friday at Lone Tree Cemetery chapel by Turpin Funeral Home of Stuttgart.
Richard Aron Turney, 60, of Stuttgart died Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012, at St. Vincent's Hospital in Little Rock.
Rick was born April 13, 1952, in Forrest City to Samuel A. Turney and Mary Elizabeth McCarty Turney. He was a 1970 graduate of Hazen High School and was a truck driver until his health forced his retirement. He was an avid outdoorsman and spent many a day hunting, fishing and camping.
Frequently, Rick would return home with a full stringer to give away to family and friends just to return to his favorite fishing hole to repeat the process. If he wasn't on the river, Rick would be in the woods hunting deer, rabbit and squirrel, keeping his freezer fully stocked at all times. He was of the Baptist faith.
Besides his father, he was preceded in death by a brother, Ronald Turney, and nephew, Sam Turney.
Survivors are his mother, Mary Turney of Stuttgart; daughters, Stephanie Turney Tiner (Mark) of DeValls Bluff, Sarah Turney Neighbors (Jason) of Stuttgart and Amanda Jo Turney of Sherwood; sisters, Darla Turney Harb (Mike) of Little Rock and Linda Turney Shadwick (Bobby) of Ulm; grandson, Stevan Sowell of DeValls Bluff; granddaughters, Mollie Tiner of DeValls Bluff and Zoe Merritt and Amelia Neighbors of Stuttgart; and a host of nieces, nephews and great-nephews.
Graveside services, officiated by Pastor Don White, are 2 p.m. Friday at Lone Tree Cemetery chapel by Turpin Funeral Home of Stuttgart.
The family requests memorials to Arkansas Hospice, 4014 Old Warren Road, Pine Bluff, Arkansas 71602.

- CU-Boulder makes smoking ban official, will create designated smoking areas
- Dec 8:
- CU-Boulder: Student government's opposition won't snuff smoking ban

- Student leaders support tobacco-free campus as CU-Boulder weighs smoking ban
For a map of the 25 designated smoking areas on campus, click here.
Just before the back-to-school rush, the University of Colorado's smoking ban officially went into effect Monday.
There are still 25 designated smoking areas scattered throughout the campus. But, come December, campus officials will decide whether they should start phasing out the designated smoking zones, too, said Malinda Miller-Huey, a campus spokeswoman.
University officials will not issue tickets to those caught smoking on campus, but students could be referred to the Office of Student Conduct. Employees could be referred to their supervisors, Miller-Huey said. Visitors will be required to leave the campus if they don't abide by the rules when informed.
Classes for the fall semester at CU begin Aug. 26, and students are moving into the dorms this week.
In February, Chancellor Phil DiStefano signed the campus smoking ban, making CU-Boulder the second school in the Pac-12 to go smoke-free. Leading the Pac-12 was the University of Oregon. More than 1,100 college campuses throughout the country have bans on smoking.
Jessica Kaminsky, a Ph.D. student studying civil engineering, said she supports the ban. In the past, she said, she's noticed clusters of smokers congregating by building entrances.
"You'd get a blast of smoke when you'd walk over by the doors," she said.
Jonathan Diels, 25, who was passing through the campus Monday afternoon, favors the ban and said smokers need to consider the rights of others who don't want to breathe in second-hand smoke.
The ban faced some opposition, though.
The CU Student Government last year struck down a resolution that supported an all-out tobacco ban. Students critical of the smoking ban raised concerns that CU was infringing on their rights and that students would be unsafe if they walked off campus to smoke cigarettes late at night. Some even said smoking outside of buildings helped them meet new friends.
Since the ban was signed, Facilities Management has uprooted more than 100 smoking urns on the campus. The designated smoking zones -- which aren't in main throughways -- still have the urns, which will be marked with stickers.
As part of an educational phase, CU has put up no-smoking signs and linked smokers who want to quit with resources to help. The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program has hosted a series of smoking cessation workshops, support groups and individual counseling sessions.
A Community Health survey in 2011 found that 60 percent of CU students said they had never smoked a cigarette. About 20 percent of students said they had smoked in the last month, and 6.5 percent of students said they smoked daily, according to the results.

iPhone SE case12/18/2017
A great looking case that is well made and fits my phone like a glove. I really like the grips in the side of the case. The wood looks nice and I do like the "Eagle" print. Excellent work!
Great case5/22/2017
I only gave the product three stars because it doesn't quite fit. The length and width are spot on, but it seems it lacks some depth and doesn't cover the edges all the way. I might've made a mistake and ordered the wrong type of case to fit, but the design and feel are overall, great!

Expected Earthquake, Volcanic or Storm Activity for the Next 1 to 5 Days
Are YOU Prepared?
December 26, 2005
By Stan Deyo
Home http://standeyo.com
Please note that when no text summary is provided, look for circles on the maps. These always indicate my areas of concern.
Summaries are written as time permits. These NCODA Earthquake Maps are a free service outside of the normal workday and depending on the data, they may require several hours to analyze. Some days it simply is not possible to provide an additional written summary. Stan Deyo
For an explanation of how these maps are produced, please see this area.
Stan's analysis shows areas of possible earthquake or volcanic activity, or extreme storm conditions for the next 1 to 5 days. Pay particular attention to areas marked by white circles. The continuous yellow line denotes plate tectonic boundaries as well as the Ring of Fire. Go to the raw data map where it is easier to see the areas of concern. Go to Stan's earthquake map archives.
NEW FEATURE: The circles in varying shades of red are quake prediction zones Stan made from 1 to 4 days ago - with dark red being 1 day ago and the lightest red being 4 days ago. White circles are Stan's prediction zones for today. Tomorrow these white circles will become dark red and will get lighter as each day passes until they are removed.
These circles indicate the stresses in an area and warn of a probable quake in an area. The areas do not always convert to a quake. When a quake does occur and has been in or fairly close to the outer radius of a circle I have drawn over a given fault zone area then it is counted as a "hit". When stress signals go into a large land mass I have to estimate the radius of the circle and the vector to the nearest major fault on the land mass.
DEYO NOTES: For earthquake maps, see the USGS "shake maps" (click anywhere on the global map for a closer view). For quakes USGS may not list, go to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center's map and scroll to the bottom of the page for a global view. You can compare these maps for the next 5 days to Stan's NCODA maps, to see the hits of his seismic target zones (white circles).
Earthquake lists can viewed at EMCS and at USGS.
Ecuador's Geophysics Institute at the National Polytechnic School, does not list quakes on a daily basis as does the USGS and other entities, but when there are significant events, they post them in PDFs.
Disclaimer: Some of the forecast stress areas can be in error up to 30% due to cloud cover variations and false signals from buoys.

The range of eating options in Beijing is unparalleled to any other Chinese city. Beijing's culinary adventures range from steaming food stalls, hole in the wall eateries to five-star restaurants. Local snacks are a special feature of Beijing. A popular tourist destination is the Wangfujing Snack Street. It is located south of Haoyou Department Store, Wangfujing Business Street, Dongcheng District. If you are brave enough to take public transportation, the following bus routes run near the snack street: 20, 37, 41, 59, 103, 104, 120, 420, 802 (get off at Wangfujing Stop).
At the Wangfujing Snack Street, you can nibble not only the local Beijing flavors, but those of other regions as well. Most snacks start at 5 Chinese Yuan (less than $1). The Wangfujing Snack Street is really tiny and may be easily overlooked. An ornate archway will greet you. Make sure to wear sneakers; as the streets are often wet and smelly – even in the summer time.
The range of snacks will surprise you. There are the sweet and the savory. Some snacks to try:
The first stall off Wangfujing Avenue has skewered scorpions on sticks. You can still see the little legs wriggling before they get cooked. Man up! This is an experience of a lifetime. A skewer of three costs RMB 15.
Fried Crocodile. Can you say tastes like chicken? Seriously, it takes like deep fried breaded chicken tempura. The texture is more smooth and chewier. Yum. Just close your eyes and don't think about the crocodile.
Hai dan, or sea urchin. Peel it open and slurp up the gooey yellow innards. My stomach started grumbling a bit after this. Won't be trying these again.
For those who want to play it safer in the food stalls, try the bing. These massive bing (aka burritos) are wraps filled with savory sautéed vegetables RMB 5. You can't find that good a deal in the United States.
Jiucai bing (韭菜饼) or jiucai you bing is a Chinese pancake, but unlike a true pancake, it is made from dough instead of batter. It is a green onion pancake using non-leavened flatbread folded with oil and minced scallions (green onions).
There's also the lamb kebabs pick up Xīnjiāng or Muslim Uighur cuisine.
Lastly, roasted quail is one of my favorites. Nothing really exotic as many Asian household have quail in the US. Nice flavor. Good flavorful, crispy skin and succulent.

Even though most Smyrna High School sports had some time off over spring break, the baseball team kept moving along going 1-1 in games versus Wilmington Christian and Cape Henlopen last week.
The 4-1 Eagles brought the bats but only needed six hits Thursday in their 12-1 win over Wilmington Christian. John Richardson led on the diamond giving up just three hits while striking out five; he also led at the plate with two RBIs.
The win was the Eagles' third straight high scoring game having previously scored 15 runs each in their wins against Indian River and Seaford.
Smyrna's first challenge of the season came in Saturday's home game against Cape Henlopen. Down 3-0 to the Vikings in the second inning, Smyrna spent the rest of the game fighting back until the very end. With two outs and a runner on second base in the seventh inning, relief pitcher Larry Voss hit a RBI double bringing the score to 4-3. The rally was soon over though when freshman third baseman Jared Gillis grounded out in a close call at first base.
"Cape is a quality team. We faced some quality pitching today," said Head Coach Jake Emerson.
While Emerson said the first loss of a season is always tough, he said it's crucial for all the players to take away the positive aspects rather than the negative.
Looking at the positives
For the most part, Emerson said he is very happy with how the team didn't give up and stayed in it the whole game. He said the pitching was nice, the team did well at the plate and did a pretty good job in the field too.
Starting pitcher Dustin Warren had six strikeouts in the game and two RBIs. Centerfielder Robby McKeldin went 2-for-3.
McKeldin was a little disappointed with the loss but said he couldn't be any more proud of his team.
"We were down several times in this game and fought back to a one-run difference," McKeldin said. "It hurts though when you try so hard, you put so much effort and you come out with a loss, but it proves what your team's made of though coming back from losing situations."
Catcher Nicholas Macey said the players knew coming into the Cape game it would be a pitchers' duel because of the quality of pitchers taking the mound.
"No one's happy to lose but we're happy to start off as hot as we did," Macey said. "And even though the books say a lose we all played good, it was a dogfight."
Moving forward
This week the Eagles face Woodbridge, Dover and McKean. Emerson doesn't think the Cape loss will have any factor on these games.
"These guys know what they're capable of," he said. "If we execute the way that we know we can, there's no reason we can't have a productive week."
To keep winning, McKeldin believes the team needs to adjust to faster, better pitching and if the team can do so, he thinks they'll be fine.
As for bouncing back from their first loss, Macey said his mindset will be the same as every other game.
"I think your mindset is the same for every single game and that's to make the best out of every pitch thrown, and every play made," Macey said. "I think you attack every game the same and that's to win."

The Microsoft Surface has been selling well since it was launched with pre-orders making alerts appear on the company's online store - "Out of stock". This has applied to models across the range, and in a number of markets. The tablets were unavailable in the UK and Canada only a week ago.
It's interesting to see the model that comes without a keyboard of any kind selling out frequently. Either consumers are saving pennies by going for the cheapest option or they plan to purchase a Touch Cover sporting a different colour. We suspect both are factors when progressing through checkout.
Microsoft has banked on creating its own hardware to go with the launch of its newest version of Windows. Windows 8 has also been experiencing positive signs of sales with a consumer number in the millions upgrading to the latest version of the popular desktop operating system. Coupling this with Xbox marketshare in the console industry and strong Surface sales, Microsoft's three vision plan is progressing as planned.
We're to take this as the product running out of stock, but has the company actually produced enough of the tablets in the first place? That remains to be seen. With stores across the US opening up with Surfaces, not to mention the mass crowd that gathered in New York for the launch to get their own, it's looking more likely that the Surface simply has the potential to become a popular tablet.
Update: It appears as though the Surface RT tablet has sold out across the markets where its available. This is displayed on the Microsoft Stores for the UK, France, Germany, Australia and Canada. Looks like the tablet is extremely popular across the board and not just in the states. If you're looking to pick up the cheapest model it looks as though you'll have a slight wait to go through.

If riding a motor scooter is considered cheating, then a foot-powered scooter must be ok, right?
This was apparently Teddy Roosevelt's thinking as he prepared for the final presidents race of this Nationals Park homestand.
Two days after being disqualified for riding a motor scooter in the presidents race, Teddy Roosevelt chose a decidedly less high-tech method of cheating tonight for "Get Your Green On" night at Nationals Park.
Unfortunately, Teddy's Razor scooter didn't fare too well on the outfield warning track surface. He fell quickly behind the pack and finished so far behind winner Thomas Jefferson that the umpires, needing to start the bottom of the 4th inning, did not permit Teddy to finish the race.
They say in sports that the road can clear your head and allow you to focus. With Teddy's record in Washington Nationals home games now standing at 0-for-152, this fan is eager to see if Teddy can bounce back tomorrow for the first presidents race road trip to Pittsburgh's PNC Park.

Two common criticisms of JavaScript is the fact that it is weakly typed and that it is not an object-oriented language. Software developers tend to prefer strongly typed object-oriented languages because these features tend to accelerate software development while also helping to maintain a high degree of software quality.
As a result, new languages, such as TypeScript, have emerged that are both strongly typed and object-oriented. TypeScript looks very much like JavaScript, although it enforces strong typing and provides features for developing in an object-oriented manner. TypeScript is also a compiled language, as opposed to JavaScript, which is interpreted.
A big industry trend in UI design is to push as much logic, processing and state management onto the client as you can and to interact with the server through lightweight RESTful APIs and web services. This has led to the development of full scale JavaScript frameworks that control all the aspects of client-side presentation, often pushing a single-page interface () user experience.

Now that the offseason is here, we will be resorting to top-10 lists and what-not
So what do you guys think was the most IMPRESSIVE win of our season?
When I think impressive I think factors like "no one really expected us to win", "come from behind when we thought we were lost", "sheer awesomeness of the win".
So what say you?
I think the dominant win over the 49ers at home was the most impressive win of the season. It has set the tone for NFC West for years to come. While it wasn't a "come from behind win" the "sheer awesomeness of the win" was bar-none!
BTW in the poll I have only 6 options (with all due respect to the Cowboys, Vikings, Jets, Rams, Bills, Panthers). BTW, isn't it awesome that our list of victories don't even fit on one poll!

Gun bills earn approval in state House
Hartford — The Public Safety and Security Committee passed some of the first post-Sandy Hook gun control and safety bills on Tuesday. The bills will be sent to the Senate floor for further deliberation.
"I know there are other processes in place, one from the governor and one from the respective leaders, and we as Democrats and Republican leaders of this committee thought that it was important that we have a process through the committee process," said committee co-chairman, state Rep. Stephen Dargan, D-West Haven, on Tuesday.
The committee voted unanimously in favor of bills that require background checks for private sales, require permits for gun shows and lower the legal blood alcohol level for people using firearms. Also Tuesday, the committee passed a bill that aims to increase communication among police departments.
The committee held a 16½-hour public hearing last week, Dargan said. The governor's commission did not have a public hearing, and the legislature's Gun Violence Prevention Working Group only held a hearing on concepts, not actual bills, he said.
"Some people might say we didn't go far enough, but I think we did do something today by going forward in a bipartisan manner," Dargan said.
Many of the stronger gun control bills discussed at that public hearing last week were not voted on Tuesday.
Senate Bill 506 requires criminal background checks for all private firearm sales except for those among certain family members. The bill also would address private sales at gun shows, said state Sen. Joan Hartley, D-Waterbury.
Currently, if someone purchases a firearm at a gun show from someone who is federally licensed, they go through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, she said.
Hartley said she has heard other private sales might be happening in the parking lot of the gun show without background checks. The bill would require a private seller to call state police to get a background check done before selling a gun, she said.
State Rep. Steve Mikutel, D-Griswold, said he thought this was the "minimum" thing the committee should be doing in response to Newtown.
"I am a strong advocate of sportsmen, but I don't think one can really argue against criminal background checks for the purchase of guns," he said.
Senate Bill 710 requires that someone who organizes or operates a gun show must obtain a gun show permit from the local authority, such as the chief of police or the first selectman of a town. A gun show is defined as any event that has 50 or more firearms exhibited for sale, transfer or exchange to the public, according to the bill.
The gun show promoter must notify the local authority no later than 60 days before the gun show begins, according to the bill.
Senate Bill 897 would repeal current law and limit a person carrying a loaded firearm to having a blood alcohol level of 0.08 instead of 0.10. The bill would make blood alcohol regulations for hunting match the laws for driving and boating.
Legislators voted 22-1 in favor of Senate Bill 299, which aims to provide a way for police departments to notify other police departments of an emergency. This could help departments share resources and tighten security, according to the bill.
The police chief of Middlebury, Thomas Hanley, testified earlier this month that the state has had a radio system in place since Sept. 11, but that it hasn't been used properly. He said he learned about the Newtown tragedy from the media as opposed to from other departments.

The days between Christmas and Valentine's Day show more relationship statuses changing from "single" to coupled on Facebook, according to a study done on the social-media site.
The days between Christmas and Valentine's Day show more relationship statuses changing from "single" to coupled on Facebook, according to a study done on the social-media site.
That means love is at full bloom now as more of the site's roughly 1 billion monthly active users are going from non-coupled statuses like "single" or "divorced" to "in a relationship" or "engaged."
These results come as a shock for some, including local resident Tara Valence because the trend was once that relationships would increase in the days leading to the holiday season, then drop off after to avoid the candy-heart filled expectations of Valentine's Day.
"I thought it would be the opposite," she said. "A lot of people keep their mate through the holidays to bring someone to family gatherings and parties then dump them after the New Year to not have the burden of mushy Valentine's Day attachments."
But the Rev. Josh Rodrigue, the priest at Cathedral of St. Frances de Sales in Houma, wasn't surprised by the statistics.
"Oh yes absolutely," he said. "We usually get a lot of phone calls for weddings. Priests dread Christmas and Valentine's Day because we think 'Oh goodness. We're about to get a ton of phone calls for wedding preparation.' "
The Facebook study used data from 2010 and 2011. Data Scientists Jackson Gorham and Andrew T. Fiore looked at how different times of the year impact the beginning and ending of relationships. They started by counting the number of new couples and compared that figure against the number of breakups. The resulting numbers provided the net percentage change. For example, 4 percent more people entered relationships in December than left them, a gain for romance.
The data showed far more people pairing up around Valentine's Day and Christmas than those who "joined the ranks of the newly single."
On Feb. 14, there were about 49 percent more new relationships than breakups; 22 percent the next day.
Christmas Eve showed about 28 percent more new couples. There were 34 percent more hookups on Dec. 25.
"Admittedly, these numbers aren't exact," the data scientists said in the study's final report. "Some people might not change their relationship status to 'single' after a breakup. Instead, they might opt to hide it from their Facebook profile entirely. But considering the relative levels of coupling and splitting up across days, months and seasons still helps us understand the temporal patterns of relationship change."
Barbara Gaidry, 57, of Gramercy, and her new fiance, Kerry, are one of the many couples bitten by the season's love bug. Though their engagement coincides with the trend identified in the results of the study, Gaidry said their love story is unique because it didn't happen on a holiday.
"I got engaged on Jan. 11, 2013," she said. "I'm so glad he waited until after the Christmas holidays and did it before Valentine's Day. Now I have my own engagement anniversary date."
Nancy Diedrich, marriage and family therapist for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, said she doesn't think everyone purposefully enters relationships during the holidays just to have someone for a seasonal fling.
"People want to feel they have someone in their lives on a day like Valentine's Day and Christmas," she said, adding that it's human nature to not want to be alone. "Both of those days are when people feel the need to have a relationship. But I don't think that many people consciously do that. Around those days they're just trying real hard. They're maybe making more connections, maybe going out more."
No matter when people decide to enter into coupledom, there are ways to make sure your relationship is more than just a fling.
Diedrich offered these tips to building a relationship that withstands the test of time:
- Have very clear communication. Be as open and honest as possible with each other.
- Accept and respect each other's differences
- Try to earn and maintain trust above all else and understand that when you enter a marriage your role changes. You can be in a relationship as a single, and your obligations are very different.
On a lighter note, the study comes with the disclaimer that some changes to relationship statuses are meant in good fun. According to the site, the fifth biggest day for an increase in relationships is April 1, or April Fool's Day. That date saw 20 percent more new flings than breakups.
But unsurprisingly, the study says, many of these appear to be short-lived. April 2 was the year's most extreme day in the other direction, with 11 percent more splits than relationship initiations.

I just thought if the RC Church in Cologne had extra funds to spend, I'm sure they could have spent it on something more in line with the RC mission. Maybe helping the homeless or putting funds towards Catholic Schools etc..
How about collecting money to help rebuild destroyed Orthodox churches in Kosovo or isn't that PC enough.
There's a thought. If Pope Benedict wants to help toward re-unification, speak out against the destruction of Orthodox churches in Kosovo and elsewhere in the world and then literally put his money where his mouth is.
Albanian bishop offers $600,000 for restoration of church and mosqueEcumenical News InternationalDaily News Service / 26 March 2004By Clive Leviev-SawyerSofia, Bulgaria, 26 March (ENI)–Expressions of both sympathy and condemnation following recent violence in Kosovo have come in from many church leaders with a powerful statement of conciliation coming from Anastasios, Archbishop of Tirana, who offered US$600 000 for the restoration of a church and mosque."The burning of churches and mosques, does not promote justice and peace, and certainly neither progress,†said Anastasios, Orthodox Archbishop of Tirana and Albania in a statement. "On the contrary, it is a return to times and practices which led the Balkans to stagnation, divisions and tragedies.â€Â"We offer $600,000 for the restoration of a church and a mosque in Kosovo, or the construction of a youth centre there that will promote peaceful coexistence,†said Anastasios. "This sum comes from the funds that, with great effort, we have raised for the construction of the Orthodox Cathedral in Tirana.â€ÂRiots broke out last week after three Albanian boys drowned in unexplained circumstances, heightening tensions between mainly Muslim ethnic Albanians and the mainly Orthodox Serbs, who are a tiny minority in Kosovo.Since then 28 people have been killed, several hundred have been injured, about 4000 left homeless, and places of worship including about 33 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been destroyed, while mosques have been torched in revenge attacks by Serbs. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has boosted its peacekeeping presence by 2000 soldiers in an attempt to quell the violence.Archbishop Anastasios said: "Those who involve religion in the violence are essentially violating the spirit of religion. No matter how much one is in the right, he must respect the sanctity and the purpose of sacred places of worship. These should become centres of reconciliation and peace and not breeding-grounds for maintaining animosities.â€ÂMeanwhile on Thursday, Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Pavle attended a service celebrated by Greek and Serbian clergy in Belgrade, at the Patriarchal Chapel of St Simeon Myrrhobietes, to mark Greek Independence Day. Pavle thanked the Greek nation for its "support and generosity†during the crisis, singling out Greek soldiers guarding Orthodox religious sites in Kosovo and Metohija.The United Nations administers Kosovo, with NATO troops there to try to maintain peace. Kosovo is officially a province of Serbia and Montenegro, but it has been run by a UN mission and NATO peacekeepers after a 1999 air campaign by NATO pushed back Serb forces which had been cracking down on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians. Source
So the Catholic Church now considers it helpful to community relations to aid the Islamification of Europe?
No. They're trying to foster peaceful coexistence between people, just like the Albanian Orthodox Church did three years before them in Kosovo.
Europe is being Islamified, aiding this process does not foster peace. When Muslims become the majority they are not interested in peace unless it includes the non-believer submitting to them. Now this doesn't mean that we should be antagonistic towards them, and I am not advocating violence. But burying ones head in the sand and pretending that if we help them Islamify Europe we'll all get on like a house on fire is nonsense. The local Catholic Church, if it felt a need to show love to Muslims, could have given concrete assistance to individuals in need. Disenfranchising the native Christian population by aiding the relativisation and takeover of their Christian heritage will merely make them more resentful, and will put their descendants in a very difficult situation when the demographics change.
The RC Priests will probably leverage their strengths and start raising funds by pimping out their alter boys.
Having said that, I'm not sure that his generosity was the right choice either. I can think of about 100 ways the money would have been better spent.
That's lowbrow even for you...(and you mispelled "altar" btw).
Aww cmon! You expect me to pass up an opportunity to rank on the RC's. You expect too much from me! (Actually, you probably don't)
Do you actually think before you post? Or does every stray thought that comes into your misinformed mind end up in print?
Europe is hardly being Islamicised. Very few Europeans are converting to Islam. It really ins't possible to predict retention rates of 3rd and 4th generation European born immigrants, but it is doubtful that it will be dramatically higher than the retention rate of the Orthodox diaspora.
I think Nektarios' statement also neglects the fact that right now in Europe you have a brand new Muslim state (Bosnia) and it looks as though Kosovo will soon join with about a 90% Muslim majority.Following the immigration and birth rates outlined by SP, Macedonia will probably be majority Muslim within the next 20 years. In essence, you have the potential to have Muslim dominated countries from Turkey to Croatia within our lifetimes.
Serbian Patriot, It is amusing that you are beating the drum of European Culture. A great many Western Europeans see you and your ilk as nothing more than primitive and Turkified - certainly not European culturally.
It is not like the Orthodox have ANY tradition of democracy - and Holy Russia serving Polonium to its diaspora in Lodnon isn't exactly going over so well.
And if Europeans are to judge Islam through the eye of the religion of their forefathers - shouldn't they judge the sect of Orthodoxy in the same manner?
The idiocy of Izetbegovic and a few others aside, there is no serious attempt (or threat) to impose sharia in Bosnia.
To further complicate matters with Albanians in Kosovo, Muslims of Slavic, Roma and Turkish descent have all been persecuted at the hands of Albanians.
Also worth noting is that the Catholic Albanians really haven't taken a stance against KLA activities in Kosovo or Macedonia (other than the vague "violence is evil" sort of stuff).
As to your claim that these are an advance of Islam in Europe - that is ridiculous.
Secularism is more insidious as it comes along with a happy face and then slowly lulls and lures the faithful away from the church.That's my two cents.
The idiocy of Izetbegovic and a few others aside, there is no serious attempt (or threat) to impose sharia in Bosnia.
As to your claim that these are an advance of Islam in Europe - that is ridiculous.
Maybe not today, but that was also once true of Afghanistan and Iran.
Well, there are a lot of reasons for this, but the primary one is that the represent less than 5% of the Kosovo Albanian population and they have seen the result of what happened to those Albanians deemd sympathetic to Serbia. They don't have much choice in the matter.
My demographic numbers speak for themselves. Kosovo has has a TOTAL flip in population. Macedonia is en route to the same destination, ditto that for Bosnia and I think the proof is in the pudding.
Serbian Patriot, To think that the former Ottoman territories in Europe are somehow part of Western European civilization is simply wishful thinking.
Now there is definitely a distinction between Western and Eastern Europeans, and this is undeniable. Some historians consider us to be effectively two different civilizations: a Western one, and an Orthodox one.
Since the treaty of Berlin it has been abundantly clear that the European powers (including Holy Russia) see the people of the Balkans as nothing more than pawns on chessboard - expendable ones at that.
I have no idea what you mean when you say that "Christianity and ethnicity are what binds us with our European brothers." What ethnicity?
Does this include Hungarians and Finnic people?
What about the large pockets of Islam that are geographically part of Europe - such as Tatarstan or Azerbajan (or even the far western parts of Kazakhstan)?
While Christianity certainly has an important cultural and historical role in Europe, so does Judaism and to a lesser extent Islam.
Furthermore none of the recent moves towards greater European unity have cited neither "Christianity" nor "ethnicity" as impetuses.
After all these smokescreens are you going to return to the original issue which is: Is Europe being Islamified?. Once we've established that then we can debate the relative merits of Islam.
Just because many Westerners see me as Turkic (according to you), I still don't want to see their once Christian nations become more and more Islamic.
They are geographically part of Europe, but they are not European nations or cultures. Just as Turkey is partially in Europe but is not a European nation.
Do you seriously believe that I care one iota what the EU's stance on indigenous Europeans or Christianity is? I consider it a vile, secular, politically correct, globalist, multicultural, anti-European project.
And quite frankly the unelected elite in Brussels are doing anything but acting for the majority in any case. The majority of EU citizens do not want a political union, but the EU is attempting to force a constitution down their throats, because they of course know better.
What important and positive cultural role has Islam played in Europe?
I wrote a reply to Nektarios about 3 days ago, and I'm sure it was published, yet now its dissapeared. Could it be related to some of the other posting problems members are having in other threads?

Is Simon going to run a 4.4 forty time? No. Does he fit the Clemons/Irvin mold. Not quite. That said, Simon's tape screams Chris Long. A less athletic, LEO version. Both have long, powerful arms and are outstanding at shedding blocks and display an excellent repertoire of pass rush moves. Simon has excellent leadership/intangibles and is a natural leader of his defense. Quite frankly, I am kind of blown away that he's not up there with at least Bjoern Werner in the pass rusher discussion. Or as a MTD commenter aptly put it:
Simon's shortcomings are well known, listed at 6-2 and 263, this average athlete continues to make better athletes look average. I believe you are looking at a 4th round steal.
Here is an article on Simon from earlier this year that I thought contained an interesting nugget:
John Simon is an enigma. He's a big-time hustle player and the unquestioned leader of Ohio State's defense. Simon led Ohio State in tackles for loss (16) and sacks (7) as a junior. During spring practice this year, Simon was playing so much better than everyone that coaches took him off the field. Simon has quickly become a favorite of Urban Meyer. The new OSU head coach has spoken glowingly of Simon's toughness, leadership and character, comparing him to Tim Tebow.
Also similar to Tebow, it's somewhat unclear how Simon will translate to the NFL. It's uncommon to see successful 6-foot2, 270-pound defensive linemen in the NFL. Simon also doesn't look to have the natural athleticism to simply shift out to linebacker. Simon may need to be utilized as he is at OSU as a hybrid Leo-style defender.
Simon comes from a defense that utilizes him in a LEO type role. That's a plus for Seattle when looking for pass rushers out of college, because you get a better idea of how they'd handle the role, while the LEO label could hurt his stock with other teams that use a more traditional end and allow Simon to fall further than his talent deserves.
The one common complaint against Simon is his height (6'2"). For reference, Chris Long is 6'3". Chris Clemons is 6'3". Bruce Irvin is 6'3". Melvin Ingram, who ranked high on Seattle's draft board last year and was a mid-1st round pick, was 6'1".
The reason height matters for defensive ends is mainly because more height tends to equate to greater arm length. I don't know what his arms will measure at, but they look plenty long enough on tape. 34" arms would not surprise me.
My only complaint for Simon is his average speed, and Pete seems to prefer burners at DE. However, if he can get over that, Simon is a player that can create pressure almost immediately on a very high percentage of his snaps. Chris Clemons probably won't be the same guy next year, but Simon could really soften that blow. He also has the kind of drive and intangibles that this regime is always looking for.

I had doubts at first, thinking that at times when the intro is so nice, the membership part doesn't keep its quality, but this site not only kept it, but exceeded it. 1 By Day is one that I would highly recommend for anyone that enjoys hardcore, softcore, lesbian and so much more, with updates done daily.
Content Amount: The numbers are extremely high for this site, not only for the video clips, but also the picture sets, they are offering enough to make the wet well bottomless. With their confirmed pledge of daily updates, this is a site to reckon with in number.


text: Bonhams' Old Master Paintings department has achieved some spectacular results in recent years. We have seen a huge increase in demand from buyers for works of quality by leading artists, particularly if they are in exceptional condition and fresh to the market. In addition to this, increasing numbers of private collectors are turning to this sector, encouraged by its established track record and disenchanted by alternative investments. Recent successes include works by Diego Velázquez, Adriaen Coorte, Lucas Gassel, Pietro Fabris, Vanvitelli, Giuseppe Zocchi and Jan Lievens.
