This homemade Rosemary Arugula Pesto takes just 5 minutes to make — try it on anything from pasta to grilled cheese!
Truth be told, I've never been much of a pesto junkie. It's not that I don't love it — I definitely do! — it's just that I don't like buying pre-made jars of the stuff.
I've been known to whip up a few batches of traditional pesto in the summertime, but I hate paying for basil in the winter.
It occurred to me that there's really no good reason why pesto always has to be made with basil. What if we made a winter version?
Guys, this Rosemary Arugula Pesto might be my new favorite condiment.
It takes just five minutes to make and keeps really well in the fridge. I've been spreading it onto sandwiches, adding it to dressings, and spooning it over pasta.
The peppery arugula and fragrant rosemary make this a completely unique pesto!
When I make basil pesto I usually like it a little bit chunky; that doesn't really work too well with this version. Rosemary leaves can be a little tough when left whole, so make sure you really blitz the hell out of this stuff.
If you don't use it all at one time, put the leftovers in a little jar and keep it in the fridge. The oil will naturally rise to the top as it rests, so just give it a quick stir before you use it.
This pesto has the remarkable ability to add an element of freshness to whatever you're eating.
It's also wonderful spread onto toasted crusty bread — I could make a meal of that by itself! Well, along with a glass of wine (of course).
On a personal note, by the time you read this post I'll be in EGYPT! This has been a lifelong dream of mine, so I'm pretty damn excited about it.
Feel free to follow along with me on Instagram to keep up with all the crazy things I'm doing (and eating).
This homemade pesto takes just 5 minutes to make -- use it to add fresh flavor to anything from pasta to grilled cheese!
Place the rosemary, arugula, nuts, cheese, garlic, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt in the bowl of a small food processor. Pulse until coarsely combined.
Keep the lid on and slowly drizzle the olive oil through the pour spout while continuing to pulse. Once the pesto is ground into a fine paste, taste and add additional lemon juice and salt as desired.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Great recipe! Wouldn't have thought of using rosemary! :) I posted a recipe for cashew arugula pesto a few days ago. :) It's actually not easy to find good quality pesto around here so I prefer making it myself but it was only recently I realized that pesto wasn't only about basil and pine nuts!
I love pesto and the unlimited variety you can create if you unfetter your mind. I made a great winter one with roasted beets and walnuts, plus the usual suspects but no greens but rosemary. Thanks for the great posts and have fun on your travels.
I have both of those growing in my yard, so will try this.
Thank you for this recipe I totally agree about paying for basil in the winter, I am so excited to make this pesto for my restaurant, Flury's Cafe in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, my customers are going to love it!


Summer is here and it's too hot outside. It makes me want to skip my workout, so it got me thinking: how can I keep my workout schedule even when it's too hot outside?
When the weather forecast says it's going to be too hot outside, it's all over the news as well, so I can prepare myself: I set my alarm an hour early, so I can do a morning yoga session before hitting the office. Morning workouts are awesome because you start the day with a feeling that you've already accomplished something (did your workout for the day).
You see a pier, I see a push up workout opportunity!
Hitting the beach or pool with your friends after a day of hard work can be so rewarding! Just be sure not to lay around on the beach sunbathing, but make yourself active! Go swimming! Swim 20 fast laps, and your workout for the day is done! Time to relax with friends!
Look up a class of aqua aerobics around you or join an aqua zumba class! Wet workouts are a great way to get cardio exercise without breaking a sweat (well, actually you sweat, but it is washed away instantly)! Plus exercising in the pool makes less impact on your joints! Don't have water workout classes near you? Get silly like me! Jump around in the pool, and do various workouts while your in the pool!
The awesome thing about the gym when it's too hot outside is that it has air conditioning! So basically you can stick to your usual workout routine even when it's too hot outside to do anything! Just think of how awesome you will feel after your workout and get going! Get your heart pumping without overheating!
Search for a group of workout enthusiasts who gather at night when it's not too hot outside, and join them. It can be anything that you like to do from zumba, softball or running. Make friends when the sun sets and it's not too hot outside!
Take a walk later in the afternoon when it's not too hot outside with your loved ones. Don't forget to take your dog with you!

Two four-star 2020 recruits have decommitted from Ohio State since Urban Meyer announced retirement
By John TaylorDec 5, 2018, 1:23 PM EDT
Whenever there's a head-coaching change there's an expected impact on the recruiting front, and even mighty Ohio State is not immune to that phenomenon.
Tuesday morning brought the confirmation that Urban Meyer is stepping down as OSU's head coach, effective after the Rose Bowl game New Year's Day. At the same time, the football program confirmed that offensive coordinator Ryan Day will be taking over for Meyer.
On more than a few occasions throughout the press conference Tuesday afternoon, recruiting was mentioned, especially by Day, as a concentration for the immediate future. Day's work on the recruiting trail could take a little more effort than his predecessors, especially in the immediate future, as two touted 2020 recruits have announced since Meyer's retirement revelation that they have decommitted from the Buckeyes.
Please respect my decision… pic.twitter.com/xU3YyIcqkE

Please respect my decision. pic.twitter.com/6OGmXlWt70
— Jake Wray (@jakewray77) December 5, 2018
Both Cavazos and Wray are four-star 2020 recruits. Wray, incidentally, is the younger brother of current Buckeyes offensive tackle Max Wray.
Thus far, OSU's 2019 recruiting class, which will start signing later this month, hasn't been impacted by Meyer's decision and currently sits at 12th in 247Sports.com's composite rankings. Despite the twin defections, the Buckeyes' 2020 class still sits fourth in the country.

What does "Evangelii Gaudium" mean?
What is an "apostolic exhortation"?
It's a papal document that exhorts people to implement particular aspects of the Church's life and teaching. Its purpose is not to teach new doctrine, but to show how Church teachings and practices can be applied today.
What level of authority does an apostolic exhortation have?
constitution. But as with everything official that the pope writes, it is to be taken very seriously.
Why did Pope Francis write Evangelii Gaudium?
He wrote it in follow-up to the most recent meeting of the Synod of Bishops, which took place in October, 2012. The Synod was devoted to the subject of the new evangelization.
Papal documents are usually drafted by a committee. With this document, however, Pope Francis was closely involved because he cares very strongly about evangelization. It is one of the highest priorities of his pontificate.
is a movement of the Catholic Church which, by means of a specified method, makes it possible for people to live what is fundamental for being a Christian, and to live it together. It helps people discover and fulfill their personal vocations.
It promotes the creation of core groups of Christians who leaven their environment with the Gospel.
The movement begins with a three-day experience of living Christianity - a "cursillo" (Spanish for "short courses) on Catholic doctrine presented in an environment of Christian community. The three days include daily mass, communion and visit to the Blessed Sacrament.
The 3-day weekend starts on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday evening. During the three days those attending live and work together listening to talks given by priests and laypersons, and participate in small group discussions.
the Christian ideal, the Catholic faith and a method to bring Christ into the modern world.

Q: Effective Java claims that elements.clone() suffices I'm reading on Joshua Bloch's Effective Java, 2nd edition, Item 11: Override clone judiciously.
On page 56, he is trying to explain that when we override clone() for some classes (like collection classes), we must copy the internals of it. He then gives the example of designing a class Stack:
public class Stack {
    private Object[] elements;
    private int size = 0;
    private static final int DEFAULT_INITIAL_CAPACITY = 16;
    public Stack() {...}
    public void push(Object e) {...}
    public Object pop() {...}
    private void ensureCapacity() {...} //omitted for simplicity
}

He claims that if we simply use super.clone() to clone a Stack, the resulting Stack instance "will have the correct value in its size field, but its elements field will refer to the same array as the original Stack instance. Modifying the original will destroy the invariants in the clone and vice versa. You will quickly find that your program produces nonsensical results or throws a NullPointerException."
Now that seems fair. But he then gives an example of the "correct implementation", which confuses me:
@Override public Stack clone() {
    try {
        Stack result = (Stack) super.clone();
        result.elements = elements.clone();
        return result;
    } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
        throw new AssertionError();
    }
}

Now how is that different from super.clone()? I know, the new Stack.element will be a different reference than the old one and all; but the "internals" of the array are still the same, aren't they? The actual elements of the array result.element still point to the original Object references. That could still result in destroying the invariants of the clone when changing the original, or vice versa, couldn't it? Am I missing anything?

A:
Now how is that different from super.clone()?

Because the arrays are now different. If two Stacks share the same array then, when one adds or removes from the stack, the size field in the other Stack is not updated, leading to discrepancies.
The array's objects are not cloned themselves. This is deliberate as they do not need to be cloned. It is expected that two Stacks - or indeed any two Collections - can contain references to the same objects. You would get the same behaviour with this code:
Foo foo = new Foo()
Stack stackOne = new Stack();
Stack stackTwo = new Stack();
stackOne.push(foo);
stackTwo.push(foo);

It's not inherently a problem, and is usually the desirable behaviour.

A: You are absolutely right about how clone works. The objects in the backing array will not be copied, but the backing array will be copied.
That is not a problem because the caller is not expecting the elements to be copied anyway. For collection classes like stacks, the "norm" is to do a shallow copy. One example from the standard library is the copy constructor of ArrayList.
Also note that you could implement clone by cloning the objects inside the array as well (this would mean that the stack can only store Clonable objects that expose clone). That would not break the contract of clone. The contract is very loose.

A:
Modifying the original will destroy the invariants in the clone and vice versa.

The problem is that modifying one stack (pushing new elements into it, or removing them) would modify both stacks, if they were to share the same backing array, but not consistently - for instance, the size member would be updated in one but not the other. If one of the invariants is for instance that no elements in the array past the current "stack top" are not null, that invariant could be broken. (I don't however think this could directly result in exceptions, for this particular case).
By cloning the array, the two stacks have separate arrays (which contain the same elements), as you've surmised. Pushing an element into one stack then won't affect the contents of the array which backs the other stack.

The actual elements of the array result.element still point to the original Object references. That could still result in destroying the invariants of the clone when changing the original, or vice versa, couldn't it? Am I missing anything?

No, it couldn't. (Try to come up with an example of how this could happen; you'll find yourself stumped). The invariants of the stack class depend on the array size and contents (identity), not the state of the objects that are in the array.

A: You can not do anything more than that. super.clone() copies value members, elements.clone() creates a new array so the new stack will have independent storage from the old one, and that is all, for the stack construct itself.
Objects on the stack are not necessarily cloneable, so it is a matter of decision to attempt cloning or not cloning them one by one, and chances are that this is addressed somewhere in the text. (Side note: built-in containers do not clone objects when you addAll(), putAll(), or use a constructor accepting another container)

How do I read a grass seed label?
How much grass seed do I really need?
Dig a hole the same depth as the root ball.
Place tree in hole. Allow peat moss to surround root ball. Allow root ball to sit 1"-2" above natural soil line.
Back fill with regular soil 1/2 way up ball. Cut burlap from neck of tree and push down around the side (do not remove burlap). Finish back filling hole and create a crown, not a bowl.
A crown will allow water to flow away from the stem and forward toward feeder roots.
Fertilize with Plant-Tone or Holly-Tone. Use one handful per gallon size of container or 2 handfuls per inch caliper of stem. Scratch into soil.
Soak well every 5 days if natural rainfall is less than one inch during the week.
How should I read a grass seed label?
If more is better, than a lot should be great! That seems to be the logic when buying grass seed. To get the best results when seeding, it might help to understand a few of the basics.
First of all, what do those names mean?
They are usually proprietary varieties that were specifically bred for optimum results. With improvements in seed breeding and technology in the past 7-10 years, these new varieties are more disease and pest resistant. However, over half the lawns North America are over seven years old. Newer varieties have definite advantages.
The second set of numbers is the germination rate of the seed. Like anything else there are a different grades and qualities of grass seed. Watch out for this number. The higher the number the better. Why pay for seed that won't grow?
What is "other crop seed?"
The seed listed here is for the "off types" of seed that can detract from the quality of the lawn. These are usually fillers used in lower priced mixes. The lower the percentage, the better.
Why is there weed seed listed?
If there is any weed seed present it is listed by percentage of weight. While you don't want any weed seed, it is difficult and expensive to keep it out. Similarly, avoid those listing obnoxious weeds.
What exactly is "inert matter?"
Inert matter is just what it sounds like. This is substance in the box in the box or bag that is not capable of growth. Usually it is filler added to take up space. The lower the percentage, the better.
How much seed do you really need?
It depends on your application. In full sun, figure about 4-5 lbs for 1000 (M) sq. ft. for a new lawn and about 1.5 lbs/M for overseeding. In deep shade your numbers should be more like 3 lbs/M for a new lawn and 1.5 lbs/M for overseeding.
Ready to get going? Measure your area. With an understanding of the basic facts, area, conditions (soil, sun, shade) and a better understanding of how to read a seed label, you'll have greater success with your next seeding project and save time and money!

Israel Announces New Settlement Plans
FILE – Israeli Minister of Housing and Construction Uri Ariel, center, speaks to journalists during ceremony marking resumption of construction in east Jerusalem.
Israel has announced plans to build about 1,500 more settlement homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in response to the Palestinians' formation of a unity government.
Israel's housing ministry announced the new construction plans on Thursday. According to Israeli news reports, housing minister Uri Ariel said the move was an Israeli government response to the establishment of a Palestinian government that includes Hamas.
Israel and the United States consider Hamas a terrorist organization.
Palestinians oppose Israeli construction on land they want as part of a future state.
On Monday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas swore in the new unity government between Hamas and Fatah, the two groups that have separately governed the Gaza Strip and the West Bank for years.
The installation followed an agreement the Palestinian sides had made in April that called for political cooperation.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government would not negotiate with any Palestinian group that included Hamas. He called the group a terrorist organization that has called for the destruction of Israel.

In 12-step recovery, I learned to HALT when I am Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired. Staying disciplined to take care of myself is a conscious commitment. I love my life. Joy loves her life. This is such an incredible gift just to say that!
God showed me how to FRET not. So at the cross I leave Fear, Resentment, Envy, and Toxic anger. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm (Ps 37:8).
You have to want it. The secret is desire. When you identify your desire, you will find your purpose. The desire is your call. Misplaced desire is misspent desire. Your spirit is like a vacuum that was meant to be filled with God and by God. And the contingency clause is willingness. You just need to show up and be willing.
We were meant to be well—spirit, soul, and body. Because we are a threefold being, when one of these areas is damaged, it will affect the others. Healing begets healing. The results of spiritual and emotional healing often bring emotional and physical healing in their wake.
You are second to none. You are unique, unlike any other. You are meant to make a difference. You are born with the spark of divinity. It is the spark that ignites the fire. God birthed in you this feeling of greatness which becomes the foundation upon which your dream is built. It is not of you, and that is why it stays in your heart.
The events that take place in our life define us and impel us. These defining moments birth in you a desire that determines or directs your destiny. It may have been a recurring event or a one-time experience. Regardless, it defines you and reveals your purpose.
Emotions give strength to our decisions when they instruct us, speaking to the bigger picture. They validate decisions resulting from your defining moments. God uses these defining moments to bring forth the gifts given you and already in you.

AMSTUD 50N: The Literature of Inequality: Have and Have-Nots from the Gilded Age to the Occupy Era
Not since the turn of the last century have Americans experienced such a profound gap between those who have and those who do not, between wealthy and working poor, between defacto upper and lower classes, between those of the status quo and those who slip to the social periphery. We will be examining literary and artistic explorations of social and economic inequity, fiction and art that looks at reversals of fortune as well as the possibilities for social change. Readings include Jacob Riis¿ How the Other Half Lives, W.E.B. Du Bois¿ The Souls of Black Folk, Edith Wharton¿s House of Mirth , James Agee & Walker Evans¿ Let Us Not Forget Famous Men , T.C. Boyle¿s The Tortilla Curtain, Julie Otsuka¿s When the Emperor Was Divine and Occupy Movement art.
Last offered: Spring 2013 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-Hum, GER:EC-AmerCul
We may "know" "who" we "are," but we are, after all, social creatures. How does our sense of self interact with those around us? How does literature provide a particular medium for not only self expression, but also for meditations on what goes into the construction of "the Self"? After all, don't we tell stories in response to the question, "who are you"? Besides a list of nouns and names and attributes, we give our lives flesh and blood in telling how we process the world. Our course focuses in particular on this question--Does this universal issue ("who am I") become skewed differently when we add a qualifier before it, like "ethnic"?

Birkenia – rodzaj bezżuchwowca z grupy anaspidów (Anaspida). Gatunkiem typowym jest opisana w 1898 roku przez Traquaira Birkenia elegans z syluru Szkocji; drugim gatunkiem jest B. robusta. Skamieniałości birkenii odkryto również w dolnodewońskich osadach na Ziemi Północnej w Rosji. Birkenie mierzyły około 10 cm długości, miały osiem par otworów skrzelowych, a ich łuski i płytki były pokryte zaokrąglonymi guzkami. Otwór gębowy znajdował się na przednim końcu głowy. Płetwa ogonowa była hipocerkiczna. Mimo obecności pancerza Birkenia była przypuszczalnie lżejsza od wody dzięki znajdującemu się w ciele zbiornikowi gazu. Prawdopodobnie pływała w pobliżu powierzchni wody i żywiła się planktonem.

No. CHICK-FIL-A owners are usually Christian.
Apr 23 2019 at 12:31 pm
Don't you mean "Easter Worshipers"?
@John…hardly. See my comment and link downthread.
Ummmmmmmm………. Chick-fil-a.
Yep. Like "Syndrome" said in The Incredibles", "when everyone is special, no one is".
When my kids came home from high school a decade or so ago using the word "racist" to describe basically anything and everything, I found it disconcerting.
Me: "Did you do your homework?"
Son: "Of course! Stop being racist!"
Me: "How is checking your homework racist?"
Son: "It just is." followed by laughter…
I asked the kids about that and where they figured it was going. They said all of the kids are making jokes like that. I pointed out my concern that when everyone is racist, nobody is racist… and they shrugged their shoulders.
The only upside that I see is that means racism must be such a non-issue that it can be made into an ongoing bad joke…
MmMMmmm… Chick-Fil-A…
Apr 23 2019 at 7:56 am
Sounds like when kids said "That's so gay" a few years ago, Most of them didn't know what gay was. But, teachers and such went bat shait crazy.
Apr 23 2019 at 3:09 pm
Racism is so prevalent in the US that the hate crimes have to be faked.
Chick-Fil-A is now no.2 in fast food and gaining.
They played chicken with the real fascists and they are winning.
But of course some -even on our side- think we should just let them take our words and our crappy gunstock accessories because they are not important enough to fight for…willingly accepting death by a thousand tiny cuts. Not Chick-Fil-A. And not me.
That's all fine and I'm quite happy for them… but Good Lord how I hate chicken.
20 years USN. Just about every meal involved some "creative" implementation of that nasty bird.
I'd take kimchi and rice anytime just to not have to eat chicken.
In Nam, our mess hall had rice and chicken and chicken and rice for two meals a day. When, they served it for breakfast, the entire unit, except the cooks, lined up at the orderly room to complain. Even C rats looked good.
Ed Brault

Sorry for those whose military experience gave them a chicken pox (heh), but I wonder if giving a whole boneless breast of chicken sandwich a try could change that from the McChicken model of ground up beaks and feet ("parts is parts") that probably was used in military mess as well.
They are being banned from some leftist city airport food courts and colleges, how evil an agenda is that? Worst case you can toss it or give it to the dog and you would have still supported one of the very few unapologetic supporters of conservative and Christian values. Have to help them that helps us, and it is worth saying that their success is based not just on their facing down the dark side but also on a truly superior product and service…"It's my pleasure" comes with every single order.
Crap, posted an old link, here's the right one…

What a sad, sad place this country is becoming…
The Age of Enlightenment called for the use and celebration of reason. The left is calling for an Age of Endarkenment.
Thank the French Revolution. They went all-in on ignorance and mysticism because "reason" (not to mention Christianity) were considered to be the delusions of the nobility. Among other things, they were the first Western state to outlaw Christianity- following the example of Islam.
Antoine Lavoisier was a good example of their opinion of "reason";
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Lavoisier
The scientist who discovered hydrogen and oxygen (and named them), he was a French "minor nobility" type who threw in his lot with the revolutionaries. In the internal conflicts within the Revolutionary political matrix, he was essentially framed for a financial crime- and guillotined.
The moral is that you can't trust a homicidal loony to be anything but a homicidal loony. And the left pride themselves on being exactly that.
The Scottish Enlightenment reconciled science and religion. Then, went on to build the modern world.
The French Enlightenment destroyed Europe.
I wish more people understood these simple truths although, to be fair, the Scots let a few Brit philosophers chime in as well.
One assumes you mean the English or Sassenach? All on the isle of Great Britain are Brits. A few sneaked in.
And they are still at it.
Destroying Europe that is.
"The scientist who discovered hydrogen and oxygen"
Englishman Joseph Priestly discovered oxygen in 1774, later moved to Northumberland PA. In 1766 Englishman Henry Cavendish produced hydrogen, Lavoisier named it. Likewise he named oxygen.
Dang Frenchies, they keep taking credit for what hardworking English people did.
American Chemicals Society (ACS): Joseph Priestley and the Discovery of Oxygen
Ensign Chekhov said that the Russians invented it.
While Engineer Scott "Scotty" continued running the wessell.
And the Captain was chasing … well. we all know what the Captain was chasing.
Punta Gorda, I feel your pain! I put in almost 26 in the Navy. My memories of abominable chow center around the infamous CHICKEN FRIED STEAK and versions therof. Back in the day, the Navy bought beef graded 'canner and cutter'. At least that's what it said on the brown box with the crescent moon stamped on it. Contrary to popular myth, the SOS was pretty damned good, though.
Funny bit. My Dad (Ex Army) taught me how to make SOS. Good stuff when done right.
As for beef.. my first working party after Boot camp was stacking boxes of "Grade D beef" in the freezer at the Service School Command galley.
Chick-Fil-A doesn't offer "white" or "dark". It's all just chicken. A 'hidden' message perhaps?
tx2stpr
Chick Filet uses all breast meat. Why wouldnt they be hugely successful?? Just look at how many breast fans visit right here at DBD every day, myself included.
WINNER! 🙂
Winner winner!
Chicken dinner!
The left calls everybody else "Fascists".
The basic tenets of Fascism are;
1. Anti-Semitism; they really, really hate Jews.
2. An infatuation with Eastern mysticism, especially the Islamic version, inherited from the "German Romantic" literary movement of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries AD.
3. A hatred of modern, industrial, technological civilization as "unnatural"; they demand a "return to the soil", with only such technology as can be used to destroy their enemies being considered allowable (hence, the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe).
4. A sharp divide between an exalted "ruling class" and everybody else.
5. A belief in the innate superiority of one "race" over another, and a hatred of "mixing" such.
6. A belief that they (the fascists) are entitled to use violence against anybody and everybody else, either to achieve their goals or just because they feel like hurting somebody.
7. Vegetarianism regarded as not merely "good" (which it really isn't, medically speaking) but holy.
8. A hatred of tobacco use coupled with an exaltation of other drugs, notably hashish, hemp, and (yes) marijuana.
9. A determination to eradicate civilization as a whole, so that its remnants will be puzzled over a thousand years in the future by whatever "scholars" there might be.
10. The worship of a leader as a living god.
That is the definition of "fascism".
It is also a description of the tenets of the modern day "enlightened" left. I don't know too many "conservatives" that would agree with any of the above.
If the mavens of the left want to see real fascism in action, they should start by looking in a mirror.
Number 5 could go either way, but otherwise spot on.
I forgot to mention;
11. A rejection of Christianity and a demand for return to ancient pagan beliefs. Thus, worshiping "Holy Mother Gaia", which puts them right back with the ancient Persians.
There really ism't anywhere the post-modern "progressives" have gone that the fascists of a century ago didn't get to first.
This may be splitting hairs eon, but most of the characteristics you pointed out are characteristics of Nazis, not Fascists. And while all Nazis are Fascist, not all Fascists are Nazis.
4, 6 and 10 were followed by the blackshirts throughout Europe following Mussolini's invention of modern Fascism. He was originally a Socialist, but felt that the Socialist Internationale was too much under the control of Russian Communists and had nothing to offer Italy, so he took the protofascism of Italy and grafted on his own version of nationalist Socialism onto it as he took over the Party.
1,2,3,5,7, 8, were mostly Nazi additions to Fascism.
Il Duce wanted modern civilization gone, too, as part of his dream of recreating the Roman Empire that had been dead for about 13 centuries before he was born.
As for his racial superiority creds, look up the Italian atrocities in Ethiopia and Albania (1923-39) and the "miscegenation law" of 1924 sometime.
I wish Chick-fil-a would open a store nearer me, my nearest is near 100 miles away. Damn that makes for a long day. Although, if I happen to be in that city for some reason, winner!
Chickens are fast food for predators, meat chickens only take about 8 to 12 weeks until they're mature and tasty. Pigs and cows are major investments in comparison, yet with specials and my freezer pork and sometimes beef is cheaper than chicken. Heck, last week I thawed and cooked a nice boneless pork roast that was just past the second anniversary of the sell-by date. Delicious!
Welcome back k-man…
FWIW you are not the first or only commenter who tends toward confrontational (or as my old blog "about" page says, contrarian) who has received a gentle and just comeuppance from our host…
…ask me how I know. 😉
I wasn't gone that long. I just took the hint from the gods and devoted some more time for studying.
HTML5 Tutorial
Go there, learn how to make web pages with a simple word processor. You can also learn CSS stylesheets, Javascript, for free. Heck, just learning how to make a table quick to organize some pics is a useful skill, no expensive web designer/illustrator package needed.
24hrs just seems like a virtual lifetime based on recent activity 🙂
I'll pass on the 'puter fu myself, but have fun.
Would suggest a refresher on 1A and 2A to better understand the dangers of too easily relenquishing components of those though, as well as the chain of command of them, and too obediently accepting the dictus of gov wonks.
You quickly dismiss looking at the code of a page you're trying to view online and knowing what it does on your computer, and writing simple pages you control without the mysterious bloat of "drop pics here click publish" composing software. Well, it probably won't hurt you.
BTW, online for 15 years now has been the famous Not Pron riddle, puzzle, game whatever, has 140 levels. Spoiler alert, solving many levels requires looking at a page's code for hints and info. You can hide a lot of stuff in code.
Both of you add gold…but do not snark against other commenters. My only rule.
Making it the golden rule…I like it.
But as historically been a problem on these here intrawebs, one man's statement is another man's snark, or otherwise is somehow something someone is gonna decide to be upset with. Since I am not in the head of the person who writes something, I found it works best to simply read anything as being neutral-sounding unless otherwise indicated, and assume joking before insulting. Better for the blood pressure and digestion.
Agreed, but while I may consider an animated tete-a-tete enjoyable and stimulating, my wife says I will argue with a fencepost (she's sorta right, with apologies to all those intertoob fenceposts out there), the host prefers to preclude same of an internecine nature…and he is the host, who I prefer to keep happy and productive of arguably the best product said 'toob has to offer.
Silly people. Snark within the family can indeed lead to stress.
"Silly people."
Stressin' me out with that snark bro!
JK, as stated above you are right. 😉

UWGB men earn bid to NCAA tournament
Scott Venci
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men are finally going dancing after 20 years.
UWGB put the finishing touches on an improbable run to the NCAA tournament with a 78-69 win over Wright State on Tuesday night in the Horizon League title game at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
"It's unbelievable," UWGB coach Linc Darner said. "I'm a little shocked right now. … it's an unbelievable feeling."
By most accounts, this was supposed to be a transition season under the first-year coach, who was hired in April after leading Florida Southern to the D-II national title.
UWGB appeared to be in good position to break its tournament drought the two previous seasons, when it had put together some of the best talent in program history with players such as center Alec Brown and point guard Keifer Sykes.
But whether it was an upset loss to UW-Milwaukee in the semifinals in 2014 with Sykes and Brown battling injuries or a title game loss to Valpo in 2015 when the offense went ice cold at the wrong time, it couldn't quite get over the hump.
Now, seemingly out of nowhere, this ended up being the year. It's a crazy ride that hasn't ended yet, with the Phoenix making its fifth NCAA tournament appearance in program history.
"We didn't appreciate being picked sixth (in the preseason)," senior guard Jordan Fouse said. "I felt like that was a shot at me and (senior guard) Carrington (Love). We had been on the best team for the past two years and me and him couldn't get our seniors to the point where we are today."
The No. 4 seed Phoenix seemed to get better and stronger with each passing round in the tournament instead of getting more tired despite playing four games in four days.
It mostly was in control throughout against No. 3 Wright State, leading for 37 minutes, 57 seconds of the 40-minute game.
UWGB was up 42-30 at halftime and by as much as 19 midway through the second half.
Wright State, which also was playing its fourth game in as many days, didn't appear to have the same energy as the Phoenix.
It missed 16 of 18 shots at one point in the first half and finished the game at 38 percent (27-for-72).
UWGB had no such problem, shooting 47.2 percent overall (25-for-53), 46 percent from 3 (6-for-13) and 22-for-31 from the line (71 percent).
It was the Phoenix's starting five that led the way.
Fouse had 16 points and seven rebounds, while junior transfer Charles Cooper had 15 and junior forward Kenneth Lowe 12. Senior guard Carrington Love and sophomore guard Khalil Small each had 10.
And what about that defense, the one that had allowed far too many easy baskets at times earlier this season but came on strong at the very end?
UWGB completely shut down Wright State's two biggest stars in JT Yoho and Mark Alstork, who entered as the only players averaging in double figures for the Raiders.
Yoho was held to eight points on 2-for-17 shooting, while Alstork had four points and went 1-for-7.
They were the same two who were the biggest reasons why the Raiders were in the title game in the first place after combining to score 33 points and shoot 13-for-22 in a semifinal win over Oakland on Monday.
"I love playing the way we play," Darner said. "I like up and down. I like scoring the basketball. A lot of times our style is referred to as we don't play defense and we give up points.
"I think we are a very good defensive team. I think we have been a good defensive team. I think it took time to learn what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do things, but I think we showed the last four games here that you can win playing that way."
Now it's just a waiting game until Selection Sunday, when the Phoenix will find out its first opponent in the NCAAs.
It certainly has earned some time off until then.
"On Sunday night, we will sit there and there will be no pressure wondering if you are in or not," Darner said. "We are just going to sit there wondering who we are going to play."

Q: What is the correct way of accepting the null hypothesis in a coin flip simulation program? I am new to statistics so please bear with my question. There are some similar questions to mine but I didn't get the clear answer after reading them. I have a program that simulates the coin tossing situation. The user enters a guess and the program determines whether the user's guess is correct or not. Each user's guess will be considered as the null hypothesis. For example the user enters: the number of getting heads in 1000 coin flips is 400 if the probability of each single flip is 0.5. Then based on calculating the lower and upper critical values with the significance value of 0.05, the program informs the user whether their guess is correct or not. To code my program, I can think of the following way:
The program receives the number of flips from the user which is 1000 in this example and then does the 1000 flips for 100 separate times and after all experiments are done, the program calculates the mean of heads:
$mean = \frac{1}{100} \sum_{i=1}^{100} a_i$
where each a(i) is the number of heads in each 1000 flips. Eventually if the calculated mean is between lower and upper critical values, the user's guess is failed to reject, otherwise it is rejected.
Now I wonder if this way is the correct one?
Thanks.

A: Too long for a comment.
User's guess 400 Heads in 1000 coin tosses is not a null-hypothesis. Hypothesis testing tests parameter of a statistical model; in your case you model coin tosses by Bernoulli random variables, $\sim Ber(\theta)$, there $\theta$ is probability of getting Heads; or you can model number of Heads in 1000 tosses by Binomial random variable, it does not really matter what you model, because you are testing a value of $\theta$ again.
Possible null-hypotheses are $\theta=0.4$ or $\theta = 0.5$.
That said, please formulate what you want to do correctly. In hypothesis testing framework, you define null-hypothesis and significance level, and compute threshold values; then you run experiment ($100 \, 000$ coin tosses), and if the number of Heads is out of threshold values you reject null-hypothesis.

Offices 1st Semester
According to WORX's research department, this take-up represents an increase of around 27% over the same period of 2018. Of the total of almost 100 operations registered in this first half, 13 have an area of over 2,000 m². Analyzing the evolution of the take-up, from the same period of the year, from 2015 to the present day, it can be seen that the weight of the number of placements with an area above 2,000 m² has been increasing, and has shown a linear behavior with an average slope close to 45º.
Between 2015 and 2017 the weight of placements above 2,000 m² represented, on average, just over 10%, except for the first half of 2016, when there were no placements above this area, the figure skyrocketed to 36% in 2018 and is currently at 63%. Also noteworthy is the trend of the entry of international companies in these placements.
The availability rate of the Lisbon Office Market remains low due to scarce supply and growing demand. At the end of the first semester of 2019, the downward trend that the market has been verifying has placed the availability rate at 5.23%, with the Parque das Nações area reaching 1.41 % and the historic area with only 0.35%.
The pipeline of buildings under construction, and or in the beginning, for 2022/3 projects about 300,000 m² of new office space on the market.
In addition to these projects, it is noted that the conversion of several office buildings for housing is being rethought, the ratio of housing rehabilitation costs to sales value is expected to decline, making the rehabilitation of the building more attractive. the same use, either because of the rehabilitation costs being lower or the current lack of spaces.
Accompanying the growing demand in the office market, also prime income values have maintained their upward trajectory. The CBD prime zone closed the semester at 22 € / m2, with an increase of 1 € / m2 compared to the final average value of 2018.
In anticipation of the new pipeline areas and the aforementioned rehabilitations, it is expected that in 2022/3 the values of prime rents will readjust and may predictably be around 18 € / m². That is, from then on, with excess supply, the balance will weigh in favor of the tenant.
Pedro Salema Garção, Head of Agency at WORX, comments that "At a time when demand for the Lisbon Office Market promises to remain active and at a steady pace, the current obstacle is the ability of supply to respond in a timely manner. There are still very limited areas available to occupy. This scenario will result in the opportunity to dispose of the empty spaces and the promotion of projects with pre-lease contracts, which should continue as a major trend. The Parque das Nações and Ribeirinha areas will continue to be very attractive to companies that escape the traditional CBD office format, even though they have the lowest vacancy rate in the city. In this way, negotiating conditions and renegotiations remain an advantage for the owner side. "

Jon Snow's Birth, And 9 Other Things We THINK Will Happen On 'Game Of Thrones' Season 6
These are the plot lines the Lord of Light is showing us in the flames.
When "Game of Thrones" picks up again after what's sure to be a long, dark, and very cold winter, it'll be after its most divisive and cliffhanger-happy finale yet. Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Stannis (Stephen Dillane) are just two of the lives currently hanging in the balance, and with Cersei's (Lena Headey) plot caught up to George R. R. Martin's books and others, like Jaime's, headed in to completely uncharted territory, it's touch for readers to adequately guess what's going to happen.
However, given the recent slew of casting and location notices hitting the interwebs -- and also given that some characters still haven't caught up to their page counterparts -- we do have some solid theories about what's going to go down in Westeros.
Like, for example...
First and foremost, R+L=J SHOULD be revealed.
https://instagram.com/p/3obA3Yrz37/
Kudos to the Internet for this one -- after a Spanish site revealed some new filming locations for season six, WatchersOnTheWall.com noticed that one of the new castles being used this season, the coastal Castillo de Zafra, could easily pass for the Tower of Joy -- AKA, the place where Eddard Stark once found his bloodied and dying sister Lyanna, and made her a super-secret promise that he took to his grave. The promise that many believe was to look after her newborn child (hence all that blood) and raise him as his own, because if Robert Baratheon found out she'd had a child with Rhaegar Targaryen, he'd slaughter the child just like he did Elia Martell's legitimate children with the Rhaegar. (The child is Jon Snow, in case you hadn't yet caught our drift.)
... And Bran will reemerge, with warg powers.
Lending itself to theory #1 is theory #2 -- that when Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) returns, as he confirmed earlier this week, he'll come fully equipped with warg powers. These warg powers, in the books, allow Bran to look into the past via the trees, so it's totally plausible (and heck, even likely) that "Thrones" will start revealing some of its long-standing secrets through Bran. Like, you know, the secret of Jon's birth that Eddard (and Jon) took to his grave.
Theon's family will take center-stage... and maybe try to marry Dany?
Late last May, a casting call was leaked that called for "man in his 40s to late 50s" who is "an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness." This definitely sounds like Theon's dear old uncle Euron, who captained a ship populated by men whose tongues he'd ripped out, which is certainly one way to go about things if you value your peace and quiet.
Now, in the books, Theon's dad Balon died way, way back around the time when Robb and Joffrey did -- he's still alive on the show, but being that they shelved all of the Pyke stuff while Theon was with Ramsay, it wouldn't be surprising if the show offed him rather quickly in order to focus on the resulting battle for the Throne in Pyke, the "Kingsmoot," that also involves Theon's sister, Yara.
Euron's quest for power involves courting Dany in order to obtain her dragons -- and possibly murder her in the process -- so his presence on the casting call very highly suggests more trouble to come for the Mother of Dragons.
... And Theon and Sansa will go to Pyke?
Helen Sloan/HBO
... Hey, it's as likely as them going anywhere else. In the books, Theon doesn't escape with Sansa, as she's all the way back in the Vale with her gross little cousin. He instead is reunited with his sister -- who came to Winterfell to rescue him -- and promptly taken prisoner by Stannis. So basically, whatever happens to Theon and Sansa is largely dependent on whether or not Stannis lives (which the showrunners are adamantly denying, but they're also saying that about Jon Snow, so.)
If Stannis lives, count on him capturing the two of them as his Hail Mary pass. If not, maybe the two will head to Pyke and deal with the Greyjoy nonsense, because where the hell else do they have to go?
There'll be Littlefinger flashbacks.
Speaking of things Bran will see in trees... the casting notice also calls for "a trio of boys" -- with Northern accents, and one of them being a "newcomer" with "dark brown hair, a narrow face and green eyes." All of these things point to our boy Littlefinger... likely meeting Ned Stark and his older brother Brandon.
Given how their story played out and how it involved Bran's mother, it's highly plausible that this will be one of the many things he sees in those dang trees.
The Hound will return.
Another item in the casting call asked for a "Priest," a "gruff ex-soldier who found religion" and who's "now a no-nonsense rural priest who ministers to the poor of the countryside." This highly suggests that Brienne and Pod will run into Septon Meribald during their travels, and Septon is the one who leads them to the place where the character readers think it the Hound -- a mysterious gravedigger -- is working. This is all on a quest to find Arya Stark, BTW, and it would definitely make sense for Show Brienne to finally give up on Sansa after the events of the finale in order to focus on the youngest Lady Stark.
And speaking of...
Arya will stay put, and kill more people.
Arya's storyline got a little bit topsy turvy timeline-wise as it translated from book to page, but we do know that she probably won't stay blind forever, and has a whole lot more training (killing) to do before she can officially be a Faceless (Wo)man.
The casting call also asks for "an elegant actress with a traveling theatre company," and since Arya briefly joins such a company during one of her assassination missions, we'd bank on her staying put in Braavos for quite some time.
Sam Tarly will have family drama.
While Arya stays put, Sam Tarly will finally get to travel somewhere that isn't ice-cold... but it won't be all sunshine and roses for Sam, as a casting notice heavily suggests that his entire family will be introduced in season six. Book-Sam first goes to Braavos -- and briefly encounters Arya -- while Aemon is dying, but since that already happened on the series, Sam and Gilly will likely visit Sam's horrible father to convince them to take in Baby Sam first.
It's also important to note that one of season six's confirmed filming locations, the cathedral of Girona, is supposedly a dead-ringer for the book's description of Oldtown... meaning Sam probably will get there by the end of next year, and hopefully he'll figure out how to deal with those White Walkers before it's too late.
Dany will go full Khaleesi, one last time.
Nick Wall/ HBO
At this point we're all caught up to Dany in the books, so what happens to her after Khal Jhaqo's khalasar discovered her is anyone's guess.
Meereen is only slightly more popular than Dorne on the HBO series, so we would guess that she'll pull out her Khaleesi charm, then somehow head to Westeros with Daario and Jorah on her trail. BUT -- and this is a huge but -- Tyrion is still in Meereen, and their chemistry was so great in their episodes together that it'd be a true shame to ignore that all next season. And she still needs her army back in Meereen to conquer Westeros (no way is Jhaqo's khalasar going to fill that void, even if they do decide to join her cause), so one way or another she has to be reunited with her people (and dragons) there.
Maybe Tyrion will finally prove the A+J=T theorists correct and ride over to her on, say, Rhaegal's back?
Jon Snow will be resurrected.
C'mon, guys -- they're not just going to give us five years of Wall/White Walker/Wildling plot buildup for nothing. And Melisandre was right there. He'll be fine. I'd bet a kidney on it.

Can the SIP10 be used for continuous sampling?
SIP10 use for continuous sampling.
The SIP10 Sipper unit should not be used for continuous sampling as the pump and tubing are not designed to handle this volume. Longevity will ultimately depend on the sample type and how it is used but the tubing should last at least 1000 sample cycles.
Do the DR 3900 and DR 6000 spectrophotometers have different SIP10 Sipper Kits?
What are the dimensions of the SIP10 Pump Tubing Product # LZV877?
Can the SIP 10 be programmed for individual Hach methods?


Beta agonist bronchodilator metered dose inhalers (MDIs) (short acting), and dry powder inhalers (DPIs) such as Ventolin, Proventil, Maxair, albuterol and Xopenex are used as needed when acute shortness of breath or coughing occurs. These medications relieve acute asthma by relaxing the smooth muscles that surround the airways. They are also used before exercise to prevent symptoms of cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath that can occur because of exercise.
Long acting bronchodilators Serevent and Foradil may be used for continuous effects on the air passages. These medications are never used for reliever medications.
The MDIs and DPIs should be used only as directed by your Asthma & Allergy Center doctor because serious side effects can occur with improper or overuse. Some of the more common side effects include: nervousness, shaking, sweating, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. More serious side effects may include: heart pounding, an increased heart rate, and elevated blood pressure. Patients with a history of heart disease or high blood pressure should use bronchodilators only as directed by your Asthma & Allergy Center doctor. No more than one reliever inhaler should be used per month.
More than one reliever inhaler is used per month.
Rescue MDI does not relieve breathing problems.
Need to use these medications more than 2 times a week.
These signs mean that your asthma has become more severe and you need other medication.
Wash inhalers (MDIs) daily. Remove the canister from the mouthpiece and rinse the plastic case in warm water. However, do not immerse a dry powder inhaler (DPI) in water. Doing so will plug up the inhaler. Dry the MDI before putting the inhaler back together. Keep the cap on the mouthpiece when not in use to keep dust and foreign objects from getting into the mouthpiece and being accidentally inhaled.
Anticholinergic drugs may be an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate inhaled short-acting beta agonists bronchodilators. These drugs work by expanding your air passages (reversing bronchoconstriction) any may also decrease mucous gland secretion, making it easier to breather. A common side effect is drying of the mouth. This medication may be used either by your Asthma & Allergy Center doctor as a quick-relief medication administered by nebulizer or MDI or can be used as a long term (controller) medication.


City Wildlife recently admitted the first baby squirrel of the year! Each spring, we get flooded with orphaned squirrels that have fallen from their nest. We do our best to give every squirrel a second chance at life, but our specialized care does not come close to the care they receive from their mother. To ensure their best chance of survival, squirrels should be reunited with their mothers whenever possible. For that, we need your help!
Do not give the baby any food or water.
Keep the baby warm. Place uncooked rice or birdseed in a sock and warm it in the microwave for twenty to thirty seconds. Then, wrap the sock in a soft towel and place it next to the baby.
Place the baby in a box or basket lower on the tree or at the base of the tree where the nest is located.
Observe from a distance for the next six to eight hours. Reheat the rice/birdseed-filled sock every two hours.
If the mother does not return, the baby is orphaned and will need to be brought to a wildlife rehabilitator.
Do not leave the baby out overnight. After the sun sets, bring the baby inside and keep it in a quiet and warm place. Do not handle it and do not give it any food or water. Try re-nesting it after sunrise the following morning.
If a baby squirrel is visibly injured, covered in fly eggs (which look like small grains of rice), cold, wet, and/or vocalizing, then it needs immediate attention. Please call us at (202) 882-1000.

Here's What A $10,000 Dodge Viper Looks Like
The Dodge Viper is one of those cars with an appeal that far exceeds its shoddy build quality and boorishness. Or maybe those things are just part of what makes it so freaking awesome. These days, you can get one for incredibly cheap. But should you?
In this video from YouTube's superspeedersRob, who showed us what a cheap Las Vegas rental Ferrari really looks like, gives us a quick tour of his friend Vinny's new-to-him 2001 Dodge Viper which he calls a "convertible." Really, it's more like a targa.
The car apparently cost $10,000, and our host estimates a "nice" version of the same would be between $30,000 to $35,000. That gives Vinny a decent amount of headroom to financially justify his project car, especially since it sounds like he's doing all his own wrench work.
As you can see, the Viper's body is straight but the paint is absolutely ravaged. Interior is even rattier. The chrome rims and wing are not really my thing, but the structural condition of the whole package looks pretty sound.
It seems as though the car runs and drives, though a quick compression test reveals that the car's down four cylinders. Still putting down more horsepower than an FR-S, amirite?
With the car obviously neglected as much as this one's been, I'd be pretty concerned about basic stuff like how long all the car's fluids have been heat-cycling under the Florida sun. Would you trust a person that apparently used a screwdriver to regularly open their convertible top with performing basic routine maintenance?
I'm excited to follow along with this project. Even though I probably won't have the money or skills to pull it off myself, I really like the idea of a Dodge Viper that costs less than a Mazda3.

Vietnamese banks report higher profits
by Marc Djandji October 21, 2019
Vietnamese banks are reporting better profit for the third quarter this year, with Vietcombank leading the way despite the predicted slowdown in credit growth.
In the first nine months, Vietcombank announced profit before tax of US$741.1 million, up 51.9 per cent compared to the same period of 2018, 85.4 per cent of the year's plan.
With consolidated profit before tax of $757.9 million, up 50.6 per cent over the same period, Vietcombank is expected to get higher profit than its goal of $861.8 million.
As another state-owned bank, Agribank announced its first eight months' profit before tax of $380 million, fulfilling 80.2 per cent of the year's plan, setting the bank up for the possibility of exceeding its profit goal.
Among private banks, Sacombank reported profit before tax of $107.2 million, up 89.5 per cent compared to the same period of 2018, reaching 94 per cent of its year's plan.
By September 30 this year, Sacombank's total assets hit $19.39 billion, up 10.9 per cent from the beginning of this year. Sacombank's sources of income continued to grow steadily, of which service revenue grew 21.1 per cent, currency exchange revenue grew 35 per cent and revenue from other activities 176.2 per cent.
Sacombank's bad debt ratio fell from 2.11 per cent to 1.96 per cent. Currently, Sacombank must spend on its restructuring project approved by the State Bank, thus its shareholders expect to receive no dividends in this period, despite large profits.
Tien Phong Bank (TPBank) reported profit before tax of $103.4 million in the first nine months, up 50 per cent from its same term last year, reaching more than 75 per cent of the year's plan. The bank's mobilization also exceeded $5.94 billion up 22 per cent from last same term.
In the same period, MBB reported $305.1 million, an increase of 28.5 per cent. By September 30 this year, Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank MBB's total assets reached $16.6 billion, up 9.37 per cent from the beginning of this year.
Though not yet officially announced, VPBank and Techcombank expect high profits in the first three quarters too.
A recent survey from the State bank of Viet Nam showed that as of September 26, credit growth was recorded at 8.64 per cent and capital mobilization rose by 9.03 per cent against figures seen in early 2019.
The report also found the demand for loans would continue to rise, higher than the demand for payments, cards and deposit accounts.
Some 68-73 per cent of credit institutions expect the demand for banking services to surge for the rest of the year.
Notably, the survey showed the resolution of non-performing loans (NPL) at banks had shown positive signs, with 27.6 per cent of banks reporting their NPL ratio declined in Q3 and 28.9 per cent expected a drop in Q4. The rates are higher than 27.4 per cent and 26.9 per cent in the previous survey conducted in June.
The survey also indicated many banks saw a reduction in credit risk in the third quarter.

Priyanka Chopra talks about Ma Anand Sheela biopic and her role in it.
Priyanka Chopra had recently announced that she was developing a biopic on Ma Anand Sheela, a controversial Indian godman, Rajneesh Osho's closest aide. PeeCee made the announcement on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in January and since then, she has been very cautious about all developments related to it. In a recent interview with mid-day, the Desi girl commented that Ma Anand Sheela project was stuck to her by destiny, and not something that she had anticipated.
The report mentioned that American director Barry Levinson was tinkering with the idea of a feature film for years. Levinson and his team finally decided to hit up Priyanka to be a producer and an actor for the project. "I have to credit director Barry Levinson for bringing this movie to me. He will be directing the project. He and his producers have been researching on this subject and developing it for the last few years. He approached me to develop it with him," Chopra was quoted as saying by mid-day.
According to the publication, the film will follow the life of Ma Sheela and her transformation from a student of fine arts in India to becoming the right hand and closest aide of Rajneesh Osho, a godman who was convicted of several murder attempts.
Priyanka revealed that the project calls for an enormous amount of research and that means that it'll be quite a while since the project finally hits the floors. "The Ma Sheela biopic is way in the future and will take some time to fructify. I'm doing a few other things in the meantime, which includes a YouTube series and writing a book," she told mid-day.


...and I'm a wedding and events planner! Welcome and thank you for stopping by!
Ever since I was little (my 5th birthday party to be exact), I knew I loved planning events (it probably happened while picking out those pink petite-fours from the bakery...hmm, could have been from the sugar-high too...). Many years later, after finishing my Master's degree in Events Management at The University of Westminster in London, England, I began the journey of Rachael Steacy Events - and what a life it has become!!!
My clients' happiness (and sanity) are the most important part of what I do, and to have the chance to combine my love for organization, experiential design, and emotive elements with my passion for serving others, this is truly My.Dream.Job. Need to have All The Pretty Things? Bring it on - I love pretty things too! Want to know how to address an envelope perfectly without offending someone? I've got you covered! But when you look at the photos of my work, I hope you'll notice not just the good-lookin' details, but the beautiful, emotional moments of pure joy that my clients were experiencing. I'd like to think that that is an itty-bitty bit due to me, because most importantly, my job is to make you a more relaxed human who actually gets to enjoy the event you're hosting (and if we're lucky, your nearest and dearest will get to enjoy it too!). So please - get in touch - because I can't wait to hear from you!
The foundation of my business runs off of two quotes: The first, "nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" comes from an inspirational high school teacher of mine (and I think he may have borrowed it from Ralph Waldo Emerson). The second, from Julia Child: "A party without cake is just a meeting".
Lover of anything sparkly, believer in equality, drinker of bubbly, and planner of all things full of love and happiness!

Now Reading: People Power Restores Komen Grants to Planned Parenthood
People Power Restores Komen Grants to Planned Parenthood
Jo DePrang Feb 3, 2012, 8:35 pm CST
This morning, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation announced it will not cut breast-screening funds for Planned Parenthood after all.
This is what democracy looks like.
Earlier this week, the Komen foundation encountered major backlash for its decision to stop funding breast health screenings at Planned Parenthood. The foundation claimed the defunding was a result of improved grant-making procedures that prohibited funding of any organization under investigation, which Planned Parenthood is. The investigation is by Congressman Cliff Stearns, R-Florida, into whether Planned Parenthood used state funds for abortion, which is forbidden by law. It bears noting that the Komen funds were also not funding abortions but were specifically for breast health screenings, Pap smears to detect cervical cancer, and similar procedures.
The reaction was immediate. Angry messages about Komen's decision erupted on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and the Komen website's internal message board. A media rep for Planned Parenthood told the feminist blog Jezebel that the day after Komen's announcement, Planned Parenthood received donations from more than 9,000 individual donors. In a normal 24- hour period, it gets 100 donors. On Thursday, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg pledged $250,000 to help restore the lost funding. Two dozen Democratic U.S. senators prepared a letter asking the Komen foundation to reconsider. This morning, in the article "Outcry is Fierce to Cut in Funds By Cancer Group," The New York Times labeled the public reaction as "showing the power of social media to harness protest."
On Thursday, Komen chief executive Nancy Brinker held a press conference to reiterate that the decision wasn't political, as did the statement the foundation released today. "We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood," the statement read. "They were not."
Except that Komen board member John D. Raffaelli told the Times on Wednesday that (I'm quoting the Times here) "Komen made the changes to its grant-making process specifically to end its relationship with Planned Parenthood."
Komen's statement from this morning begins, "We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives." But they're probably not sorry they tried to defund Planned Parenthood. They're probably sorry they got caught.
For years, the Komen foundation has worked so successfully to brand its cause that you can hardly buy a bag of Sun Chips without contributing to breast cancer research. Supporting breast cancer research was the kind of non-partisan, feel-good cause everybody could get behind, and the Komen foundation was by far its biggest name. But now, Komen has done its reputation and fundraising profound damage. While some pro-lifers may have known of and been mad about Komen's grants to Planned Parenthood, now that fact is widely known and neither side of the debate is likely happy—pro-choicers because Komen tried to defund and pro-lifers because it didn't go through with it.
The grant money in question was $700,000, a fraction of the $93 million Komen distributes every year. With a brand damaged and hampered fund-raising, what other organizations will suffer because Komen played politics?

The Broome to Fremantle Ocean Race will be a part of the 7,500 nautical mile Around Australia Race and Rally event.
Bob Williams the CEO of Ocean Events Pty Ltd, the Western Australian company behind the 2011 'Around Australia Ocean Race and Rally' has spent the last few days in Broome, located in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia, and an important stop-over port for both the Around Australia Ocean Race and Rally.
Williams has been meeting with local authorities and business people discussing the event coming to Broome waters in August and September 2011.
'I couldn't be more pleased with the reception that I have received in Broome and the enthusiasm for our event. Broome people will make this a memorable stop-over port that everybody associated with both the Race and Rally yachts will thoroughly enjoy.'
Incorporated into the 2011 Around Australia Ocean Race is the Broome to Fremantle Ocean Race. The Perpetual Broome to Fremantle Ocean Race Trophy is designed and manufactured in Broome by the internationally renowned pearl jewellery company Linneys of Broome.
Principal owner of Linneys Mr Bill Reed yesterday gave Bob Williams and Broome Shire President Mr Graeme Campbell the first viewing of of the trophy.
Linneys apprentice Joshua Gower is the proud craftsman of this fine trophy a copy of which will be taken home by the winning skippers of the 2011 Broome to Fremantle Ocean Race.
Originally founded as a pearling port over a hundred years ago, Broome now boasts a multicultural population of many nationalities lured here by the promise of finding their fortunes. Asian, European and Aboriginal cultures have all blended to create a captivatingly friendly and flamboyant personality that is the heart and soul of Broome.
Broome pearls are recognised as the best in the world and pearling remains one of the town's major industries.
Broome has a permanent population of 15,000 which expands to 40,000 around the time of the Broome Cup Week horse racing carnival (August) attracting visitors from all over Australia and around the world.
The crews of the Around Australia Ocean Race and Rally yachts, shore crew, family, friends, supporters, sponsors, and local and international media people are bound to be captivated by Broome – one of Western Australia's and Australia's best loved tourist attractions.
'Since we opened the doors for Slot Reservations we have been staggered by the responses for both the Race and Rally – still about neck and neck in event preferences at this stage.
Skandia – 2011 Around Australia Ocean Race and Rally for Cruisers Andrea Francolini ©
'We've heading towards 100 boats now from 100 foot super maxis to Transatlantic racers, from cruising and racing catamarans and many cruising monohulls and the reservations just keep rolling in and we expect that at this rate we will have a total of around 300 reservations.
'It's very gratifying to see such interest in the event. It's plain that the event has such national and international appeal with Event Slot Reservations coming in from South Africa, Europe, the USA, and New Zealand already.
'Some very significant Australian yacht clubs have chosen to join with us in planning and running this major event and we will be making announcements about that in coming days.
'Please get your Slot Reservations in as soon as possible, the news is spreading internationally now!!'

BLUE and white blood runs in their veins. They eat, breathe and sleep blue and white, and bleed blue and white blood.
They are the Perth Chelsea Football Club Supporters Group, and they might be coming to a pub near you.
About 70 people, some from the northern suburbs, make up the blue and white army, a small but dedicated band of followers whose mission it is to support and celebrate, lose and lament with the team from their Perth base.
Their fearless leader, president Steve Van Doorn, from Butler, co-ordinates the group's activity, which mainly consist of late-nights and early mornings in various pubs or supporters' houses to catch live telecasts of each game in the October to March season.
"The northern suburbs have a strong contingent of more than 35 members who have been meeting regularly in Butler, Quinns, Kinross, Banksia Grove or Landsdale for the last six years," he said.
Mr Van Doorn said the group ranged in age, from the four- and five-year-old children of members, to men and women in their 60s, some London ex-pats whose passion for the round ball game followed them across the ocean.
FA Cup fever has gripped the group, with a Chelsea versus Everton final on Saturday, May 30.
"It's a 10pm kick-off, which is really an early night for us considering the telecasts of most games start about 2.45am here," he said.
"One of our members wore a 'The Who' T-shirt to a game we won so now he can't take it off until we've won the final – it's just a superstition but he wears that shirt like a badge of pride."

NRL personality Matthew Johns has been stood down indefinitely from all his on-air commitments with the Nine Network following the group sex allegations that aired this week.
The announcement was made on the network a short time ago.
In a statement, Nine CEO David Gyngell said the mutual decision had been taken in the best interests of the Nine Network, Matthew Johns and his family, the game and its supporters.
"The fact is, whatever the arguments about the details of the New Zealand incident involving Cronulla players in 2002, the conduct and its aftermath was simply unacceptable, fullstop," he said.
"I fully endorse David Gallop's comments concerning the indefensible conduct of some players and the lack of respect for women — and the critical focus on all stakeholders to help eradicate it from our game."
"I join with him in extending my apologies and sympathy to the young woman involved in the incident, who clearly is still distressed as a consequence."
Mr Gyngell said Johns had agreed the decision was in everyone's best interests.
"I have always had great regard for Matt, but he knows better than anyone that this incident has placed him in untenable position," he said.
"To his credit he has recognised that and acted upon it."
Johns' future has been under a cloud since the ABC's Four Corners program aired allegations about his involvement in a 2002 group sex incident in New Zealand while he was playing for Cronulla.
The former Test star arrived at Nine's Sydney offices this morning, along with his manager John Fordham, for the meeting with Mr Gyngell.

I say. Gavin Hunt must give young pleyers chance to play


As with fashion collections Spring/Summer is an exciting time when it comes to make up and nails, in my opinion things just get prettier all round and with the promise of sunnier days coming.
Leighton Denny is not a new discovery for me, the brand has been around for over 20 years and with Leighton being awarded an MBE in 2015 for his contribution to the nail and beauty industry it's safe to say he knows a thing or two. When it comes to nail products I think it's too easy nowadays just to grab a colour off the self quite often even thrown in with your regular food shop ! we then get used to nice colours that don't last, with nail varnish I 100% think you get what you pay for and if you are happy and have time to re-paint every couple of days, then cheapies are all well and fine, nail painting is not something I enjoy as a hobby, I love painted nails and the thought of leaving the house with bare nails is like going without mascara to me, which is unthinkable, if I go to the trouble of doing the job, I want it to last.
I have found that with Leighton Denny polish you remove it well before you need to just for a change of shade rather than it looking shameful and being a necessity, the shades featured here I wore for around 5-7 with not a chip in sight, while I have used the brand as a stand alone polish I find I get longer wear by topping with Crystal Finish top coat, which allows the nails to dry quicker, become diamond hard and produce a fabulous gloss, another thing to keep in mind is the size of your polish bottle, these are a good size 12ml, I have experienced polishes as small as 4ml for a higher price.
With the exclusion of the 5 nail nasties Tosylamide Formaldehyde resin, Camphor, DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde you can rest assured that you are using a quality product.
Do you have a nail polish favourite ? I would love to know.
Post contains Brand/PR samples unless otherwise stated, contains AF Links.
Hi Lyn, you have totally made my day, I hope to be doing my nails at 76 ! Your choices are fabulous, I must look out for the Dior, are you a Seche Vite lover ?
Lyn Seche Vite is a miracle top coat, it dries within secons gives a really high gloss, and no polish chips for up to 10 days, I couldnt live without it, you can find it in Boots.
How are you doing Lyn ?
Glad you're OK hope you had a great time.
Ohhhh I am glad it's going well, I have had 10 day maximum using it, you didn't need instructions just top coat and go.

MODEL ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
Use these specifications as a model, replace [Organization] with your company name, and adapt it for your specific needs
1) Recycled Content
All paper and paper products must contain the minimum levels of postconsumer recycled content for federal agencies as outlined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Vendors are encouraged to offer products that contain a higher percentage of postconsumer material than these minimums.
Vendors must verify the postconsumer recycled content of products offered. Preference will be given to paper and paper products with recycled content that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Other certification systems may be considered if their standards meet or exceed FSC's standards; their governance and funding mechanisms are fully balanced, transparent, and independent; and they are widely accepted by environmental and social stakeholders.
After maximizing recycled content, preference will be given to paper and paper products whose remaining content includes other recovered materials, including, but not limited to, pre-consumer fibre and agricultural residues.
Recycled copy paper must function properly in all [Organization]'s copiers, fax machines, laser printers, and ink jet printers without jamming.
All packaging, including ream wrappers and cartons/boxes, must contain a minimum of 35 percent postconsumer recycled content, and include a written statement verifying the actual percentage of recycled content. Efforts should be taken to reduce the use of packaging materials when possible.
2) Responsibly-Sourced Fiber
Vendors must verify the source of any virgin fibre content in paper and paper products. Preference will be given to suppliers and manufacturers that have a "chain of custody" tracking system in place to reliably identify the origin of fibre sources.
Preference will be given to paper and paper products that can be guaranteed to be free of fibre that threatens endangered forests. Endangered forests are defined as those meeting the criteria outlined in the Wye River Coalition's Endangered Forests: High Conservation Value Forests Protection – Guidance for Corporate Commitments and ForestEthics, Greenpeace, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Rainforest Action Network's Ecological Components of Endangered Forests.
Preference will be given to papers that can be guaranteed to be free of fibres from the conversion of diverse natural forest ecosystems into plantations. [Organization] supports Forest Stewardship Council's criteria specifying November 1994 as the cut off date for no more conversion of natural forests to plantations. Wood from forests converted to plantations after November 1994 is unacceptable unless the plantations are being restored to natural forests.
Preference will be given to paper and paper products with a remaining virgin tree fibre content that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Other certification systems may be considered if their performance-based forest management and chain of custody standards meet or exceed FSC's standards; their governance and funding mechanisms are fully balanced, transparent, and independent; and they are widely accepted by environmental and social stakeholders.
If paper and paper products made from alternative fibre crops (e.g. hemp, kenaf, etc.) are offered, vendor must submit in writing that the fibre source crops were grown and harvested using sustainable farming practices.
Vendors must verify that fibre content of paper and paper products do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This includes transgenically modified trees and plants that have genes of other animals and plants inserted.
3) Cleaner Production Practices
Preference will be given to paper and paper products that are processed chlorine free (PCF).
Preference will be given to suppliers and manufacturers that use renewable energy to supply electricity for their facilities, either on-site or through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs). Vendors must provide information including percent electricity from renewable sources used for power generation, type of renewable energy, and any third party certifications, such as Green-e.
4) Recyclability
Paper and paper products must be recyclable in business or municipal recycling programs.
All packaging, including ream wrappers and cartons/boxes, must be recyclable in business or municipal recycling programs.
5) Promotion
[Organization] strongly encourages Vendors to submit materials electronically whenever possible. If submitting hard copies, it is desirable that materials are printed on paper with a postconsumer waste content of 30 percent or higher. [Organization] also encourages the use of submittal materials (i.e. paper, dividers, binders, brochures, etc.) that contain postconsumer recycled content and are readily recyclable. [Organization] discourages the use of materials that cannot be readily recycled such as PVC (vinyl) binders, spiral bindings, and plastic or glossy covers or dividers. Alternative bindings such as reusable/recyclable binding posts, reusable binder clips or binder rings, and recyclable cardboard/paperboard binders are examples of preferable submittal materials. Respondents are encouraged to print/copy on both sides of a single sheet of paper.
[Organization] strongly urges Vendors to adopt a paper policy consistent with the Environmental Paper Network's A Common Vision for Transforming the Paper Industry: Striving for Environmental and Social Responsibility as well as implement other environmentally and socially responsible policies and practices.
Vendors will help [Organization] track purchases of environmentally preferable paper and paper products by providing semi-annual and annual reports on all products purchased under this contract. Information to be included in these reports must include, but are not limited to, total number of products purchased by category, total dollars spent on products by category, and the environmental attributes of products purchased.
Vendors will also help purchasers identify environmentally preferable paper and paper products on its website and in its catalogs.
