HARRISBURG -- For the foreseeable future, Pennsylvania will retain its dubious distinction as the only state with underground shale that doesn't impose a natural gas extraction tax.
An unhappy Gov. Ed Rendell admitted Thursday that despite weeks of talks, he and General Assembly leaders have failed to agree on key details of a gas severance tax, including how high the rate should be and how the $100 million or more in annual revenue from such a levy should be divvied up.
Democrat Rendell has had been pushing for enactment of a shale-gas tax since his 2010-11 state budget speech in February, but now says it "clearly is dead this year" -- and for a lot longer if Republican Tom Corbett is elected governor on Nov. 2, because he opposes such a tax.
"The refusal of Senate and House Republicans to negotiate in good faith on terms of a promised natural gas severance tax has killed the effort to enact it into law this year," Mr. Rendell said.
Republicans are irresponsible, he claimed "for refusing to compromise and simply turning their backs on these negotiations.
"They signed a pledge to the people of Pennsylvania to enact a tax that requires drilling companies to pay their fair share for removing our state's natural resources from the ground, and now they are walking away from that commitment."
Legislative Republicans, in turn, put the blame back on Mr. Rendell and House Democrats. Senate President Pro Tem Joe Scarnati said he and other Senate GOP leaders had worked hard this summer and fall to find a compromise, but Mr. Rendell himself got involved only in the last few days.
Senate GOP spokesman Erik Arneson said his caucus was "surprised by the governor's unilateral decision" to end the shale-gas talks and said Mr. Rendell should reconsider. But the governor said Republicans have been unyielding, so further talks wouldn't work.
"It's obvious they have killed the severance tax in this legislative session," Mr. Rendell said.
Environmental groups such as Penn Future and the Sierra Club were angry, because some of the gas-tax revenue would be used to protect the environment from drilling-related damage.
Penn Future President Jan Jarrett assailed Senate GOP leaders for the failure to work out a deal., claiming they "stalled, delayed and threw up absurd excuses while claiming they wanted to pass a tax. They refused to take action and then left Harrisburg. Their promise to the people of Pennsylvania was worthless. There is no excuse for this failure."
But Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, a group of large gas producers, said Senate leaders "deserve credit for their months of work." in trying to fashion "a competitive, well-balance package" of regulations so Pennsylvania can be a leader in shale gas production.
About 30 other states, including well-known energy states like Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, impose some level of tax on natural gas. Besides Pennsylvania, the only other shale state without a shale gas tax is New York, but it has imposed a moratorium on drilling.
The current General Assembly session ends Nov. 30, and a new two-year session opens in January. But if Republican Corbett is the new governor, there may never been an extraction tax, since he strongly opposes the idea. Democrat Dan Onorato said he will push for a tax but hasn't said what tax rate he would seek.
Some critics have linked legislators' inaction on a tax -- or their outright opposition -- to the hefty political contributions some state officials are getting from gas-drilling companies. According to a Common Cause/Pennsylvania compilation (available online at Marcellusmoney.org), Mr. Corbett is the largest recipient by far, at over $700,000. Mr. Scarnati is second, at $143,000. Mr. Rendell and Mr. Onorato are third and fourth.
"Pennsylvanians know that the drillers have spent millions in campaign contributions and high-powered lobbyists to achieve this [death of the tax]," Ms. Jarrett said.
But legislators from parts of the state where Marcellus Shale is located -- the western and northern-tier sections -- said the gas drilling is a long-awaited economic bonanza and fear that a tax would drive gas companies to other states, costing Pennsylvania jobs and land-leasing revenue.
For weeks, House Democrats and Senate Republicans have been pointing fingers at each other over their inability to agree on a severance tax. The House noted that it had approved a shale gas tax in late September, but the Senate went home without acting on it.
But Republican senators said the House had delayed its action until just a day before Oct. 1, the self-imposed deadline that state officials had given themselves for enacting a severance tax, and even then had sent a legally flawed bill over to the Senate.
That bill was a measure previously passed by the Senate, with the language completely changed to include a tax of 39 cents per thousand cubic feet (MCF) of gas pumped from underground areas of Marcellus Shale. But Republicans said that under the state constitution, all revenue-related bills must originate in the House, not the Senate, so the bill would have fallen in a court challenge.
They also said that 39 cents per MCF rate was far too high. Senate Republicans proposed a 1.5 percent tax on the value of the gas at the wellhead for the first five years, rising to 5 percent after that.
Mr. Rendell had proposed a 3 percent tax the first year, 4 percent the second year and 5 percent a year thereafter, but not enough legislators supported it.
The two parties also clashed over how to spend the tax revenue. Mr. Rendell wanted to use $70 million to balance the state's $28 billion budget, but the GOP didn't think the revenue should go for "bureaucratic" spending. Democrats said the failure to enact a tax leaves a $70 million hole in the current budget, which may have to be made up through layoffs.
Some Republicans said the shale tax revenue should go just for repairing environmental damage done by gas-drilling operations or damage to municipal roads caused by drilling equipment.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I've had a wonderful time over Christmas and the New Year and hope you all have too. All the usual family things up to and during Christmas Day and then it was off to The Royal Hotel in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight on Boxing Day. This was followed by a few days at home and then back to the Isle of Wight and The Seaview Hotel, Seaview to bring in 2018. On both occasions I was accompanied by the Leon Simmonds Trio.
On Sunday 14th January I was with the multi award winning Fat Chops Big Band in Moseley, Birmingham. I took the opportunity to introduce a couple of new charts and it was the first time I had sung them before an audience. I knew that the band would rise to the occasion - and they did!
I have another big band gig coming up. This time with John Ellis and the Doncaster Youth Jazz Orchestra on Friday 2nd February 2018. I shall also be taking a vocal masterclass the following day at the Doncaster Jazz Centre - further details on the diary page, including links to their website.
I'll be working with Hugh Ockendon and his trio and a special guest (to be announced) on Thursday 22nd February at Eltham Warren Golf Club. I've sung there before and it's a lovely crowd - I'm looking forward to being back.
Lunchtime on Sunday 11th March sees me back at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club performing songs associated with Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald in the stellar company of Mark Nightingale, John Pearce, Paul Morgan and Bobby Worth.

ABOUT Online Casinos
Online casinos, also called virtual casinos or Internet casinos, online versions of the traditional brick and mortar casinos. Online casinos allow players to play online casino games on the internet. It’s a very expansive form of online gambling. In fact, it’s been increasing in popularity for several years now. Millions of people from everywhere play online casino games.
There are lots of differences in online casinos over their live counterparts. To begin with, online casinos use random number generators or (RNG) to determine the outcome of every hand. A computer program generates the cards for each hand, predicated on what the player’s input. Thus, online casinos with random number generators will will have a consistent experience, without human intervention.
In addition, many online casinos use sophisticated encryption programs to help make the process of online gambling trustworthy. The encryption means that your personal details (such as for example your name and address) are kept safe and secure. However, if you do opt to divulge any of these details, it could take months for the account to be reinstated. Moreover, hackers often attack gambling sites using lists of usernames and email addresses.
As possible plainly see, the biggest differences between online casinos will be the games and the direction they are played. Each online casino differs somewhat in the way it applies its own group of wagering requirements. Some apply strict requirements, while others may not require you to pay a deposit or may only need a monthly maintenance fee. Here are some examples of online casinos that apply strict wagering requirements:
Normally, online casinos that use random number generators for the card hands will require one to make your first deposit before you start playing. For the reason that these random number generators (RNGs) will be the way that the online casino can simulate the outcomes of the card hands it has generated. As soon as you make your first deposit, you’ll then be able to choose which machine you wish to place your bets on.
On the other hand, most online casinos which have video poker games won’t require you to make your first deposit. Instead, you can be required to create an account with the casino and create your log in name and password. When you have successfully created an account, you’ll then have the ability to access the video poker portion of the web site. In video poker games, you will have a main video poker room where one can choose from various available games; and in some cases, it will be possible to play against live opponents.
In a few online casinos, you will be required to create a deposit before you can start playing. Although you will not be required to make a deposit in most casinos when you initially login to the website, you’ll still be required to make this deposit, as the casinos will then have the ability to credit your account with any winnings you might have won, including those won in online casino games. You will have to make sure that you have sufficient funds in your account to cover all of the winnings that you may win in casino games. Most online 사설 카지노 casinos will help you to withdraw your winnings, but there can be restrictions based on the kind of casinos you play at.
There is no real money involved in online casinos that offer video poker or other gambling games. This is because all winnings in these games are either a consequence of the random number generator or an automated computer program that’s designed to help you increase your odds of winning. If you decide to try your luck at one of these online casinos and opt to switch to real money play, you will be necessary to complete an application process with the web casino you want to play at. Before you withdraw your winnings, you may be at the mercy of a credit check; sometimes, you may also be asked to provide proof of identification. It is very important understand everything that appear on the form you are required to fill out when you intend to withdraw your winnings.

View Full Version : 4140 Chrome Moly vs 415 Stainless Steel
February 22, 2005, 09:10 PM
What are the major differences in 4140 Chrome Moly and 415 Stainless Steel when used for barrels and actions? Is it worth spending the extra money on 415 Stainless Steel for a barrel or action?
February 23, 2005, 04:41 AM
The stainless usually isn't bothered by the affects of powder residue as much as a chromemoly barrel is. Meaning they will normally give you a little longer barrel life, but not always. The stainless takes a lot longer time to rust which makes it ideal in a hunting rifle. If this matters to you, I would use it. If you always have time to clean the barrel and action, I wouldn't worry about it as much. I guess it boils down to a matter of taste.
February 23, 2005, 10:20 AM
It's 416 ,the most common of the stainless alloys in guns.The only real advantage is that's it's better when the environment is a problem - rain, salt water ,sweat.It's low maintainance not no maintainance.

McKinley girls ride strong defense to win over Lake
For 13 days, the McKinley High School girls basketball team had to sit and stew on a loss.
No games. Just practice, practice and more practice.
“It got quite boring for them,” McKinley head coach Pam Davis said.
All that pent-up energy showed on the defensive end during the Pups’ 45-24 road win against Lake on Saturday afternoon.
McKinley last played Dec. 22, a 56-45 loss to Hoover. While rust showed on offense, the Bulldog defense was at its hounding best Saturday as McKinley (7-2, 5-1) stays a game back of first-place Hoover in the Federal League race.
Led by the relentless ball pressure of guards Ronn’Yeil Hogan, Korrin Taylor and Daziah Green, the Bulldogs made life miserable for Lake. They trapped. They jumped passing lanes. They played physical.
“They bounced back after a two-week layoff,” said Davis, who starts no seniors. “For them to come back and play hard and execute as well as they did, I’m very happy with them.”
Lake committed 33 turnovers, shot 27.6 percent from the floor and never scored more than seven points in a quarter.
“They took us out of everything we tried to do offensively,” said Lake head coach Henry Cobb, whose team went almost 12 minutes without a field goal during one stretch. “We just never got a rhythm at the offensive end, and that’s to their credit. Anybody who was at the game could see we struggled to make two or three passes.”
Lake’s 24 points are its lowest output since scoring that same number during an 82-24 loss at McKinley two years ago.
Bulldogs junior star Marquia Turner totaled game highs of 17 points and five steals, and she did it coming off the bench. Asked why Turner didn’t start, Davis offered up, “No comment.”
Hogan added nine points as the Bulldogs struggled to 28.6 percent shooting.
Lake (8-2, 3-2) never was able to establish its talented frontcourt duo of McKenna Stephens and Baylen Dyrlund. Stephens didn’t score her first field goal until there were less than five minutes left. She finished with seven points and a game-high 14 rebounds.
Davis lauded the defensive effort by her sophomore posts Charday Pitts and Tazhia Petitt, while emphasizing the importance of rebounding against Lake.
“We always try to play great defense,” Davis said. “But I think the end result of great defense is the box-out and the rebound. We didn’t give them very many second-chance opportunities. Stephens and Dyrlund are glass eaters, and we knew we had to keep them off the boards.”

New department on the block
By Matt Galnor
The fast-growing division of oral and maxillofacial surgery that contributes to the most comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to head and neck cancers in the region is now officially a department of the UF College of Medicine–Jacksonville.
Until now, oral and maxillofacial surgery was one division among nine others in the department of surgery. From an operations standpoint, the department status gives oral and maxillofacial surgery more autonomy and the chair reports directly to the dean, said Tirbod Fattahi, M.D., D.D.S., an associate professor and interim chair of the department.
On the recruiting end, it should help the department become even more attractive to prospective residents and faculty because it shows the weight of the subspecialty on campus, Fattahi said.
In the short-term, Fattahi said the department will work toward increasing the number of fellows and add another new faculty member. He also expects that within a year, the department will have a new location to see patients. Currently, the oral and maxillofacial surgeons see patients at Emerson Medical Plaza and at Shands Jacksonville.
“If we are going to grow, we have to do so beyond these walls,” Fattahi said.

-Designate time for your youngster to try out games. Equally as they shouldn't sit in front of the TV for 8 hours each day, nor should they sit while watching computer or on a tablet for hours on end, your little ones need an allotted timeframe for online games. If your kid will play an online game, provide them with an hour at the most. On the rainy day, you can push this to three hours, after they have regular breaks between. -As their parent, it is your responsibility include them as not playing games with an age restriction.

I'm stitching this for an exchange, and these two colours are way too similar. It's hard to tell the difference between them when I stitched them together.
I thought I'd be smart and pulled out my guide, only to see the lighter colour is still 964, ugh. I wish I had looked earlier, I would have used 958 as the darker colour instead. I already frogged once and I'm not willing to frog all the 959. I even checked the newer colours that aren't in the guide and didn't find anything.
Suggestions? I'm thinking of blending 964 & 958, yah or nay?

I know– not exactly what you’d expect from a family dinner enthusiast/evangelist like me, but a time to embrace quietude and introspection is just as nourishing of an experience in my books.
“Find a cause where your heart doesn’t feel inactive.”
There’s been a lot to think about these past few weeks, and, like many others, my mind has been feeling busy and scatterbrained lately. I’ve been thinking about what role I need to play in my community now, and how best I can contribute to it. I’ve been questioning how I can be a fearless leader, even though I am one of those marginalized persons that need allies. I’ve been wondering how someone who’s dedicated his working life to empowering marginalized communities can take on even more social justice causes without running the risk of experiencing compassion fatigue. I’ve been asking myself how I can cultivate “skillful fear” by facing it down and recognizing it as a temporary mind state, and then using it productively by redirecting its energy into courage and action.
A Vietnamese monk named Phap Dung recently recommended: “Go take refuge in nature, and find a cause where your heart doesn’t feel inactive and in despair. This is the medicine.”
I’ll get back to my questions soon, but for now– I’ll sit, breathe, and take refuge in nature.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Take care of each other.

Summer is nearly upon us and, of course, the idea of a nice city break becomes all the more enticing. What better way to melt your worries away than to lose yourself in the warm climes and immersive culture of a European city? Here, and in no particular order, are laid out some of the Top 10 city breaks that can be found in Europe.
The only item from the British Isles on this list, Dublin has to be featured thanks to its plethora of culture and beauty that pervades every corner of the city. In the day, take the time to visit the hallowed stacks of the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle. At night, a visit to a pub is a must, not only for the whiskey, but also to revel in the traditional Irish music, usually played live, that invigorates an evening.
Prepare yourself for a classically European experience should you choose to visit Rome this summer. After exploring the sights (the Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, and the Colosseum to name a few), channel your inner Audrey Hepburn or Gregory Peck, and wile away an afternoon at an intimate café, before enjoying a whirlwind adventure through the streets of the 'Eternal City'.
A stunning city with a turbulent past, Granada is a favourite for those with a historical bent to their travels. Scattered around the city are throwbacks to its status as a Moorish capital, the most famous of which being the magnificent Alhambra, filled with Islamic designs and surrounded by lush gardens. At night, catch a traditional flamenco show in one of the many flamenco 'caves', before enjoying some traditional tapas.
Admittedly, to do Paris in a weekend is a bit of a tall order, however one can't write a list about city breaks and miss off this icon. With plenty to do - Sacré Coeur, the Louvre and Notre Dame for example - this is an excellent escape for all ages. To experience something a bit different, perhaps head to the 'Shakespeare and Company' bookshop, a pilgrimage point for literary-minded travellers the world over.
Once the gateway to the New World, the colourful city of Porto is the perfect place to enjoy a warm summer weekend. Of course, the main thing to do here is enjoy a tasting of Port, preferably at a tour of a port cellar. This sweet red wine is named for the city, and it's the perfect tipple to drink whilst delighting in a summer's eve in the warm Portuguese climate. Look out also for the stunning blue and white tiles - known as 'Azulejo' - that dot the streets and buildings.
This split city has pretty much everything a person would need for an ideal weekend. Bohemian Pest to the west of the Danube is a hub of trendy bars and cafés, as well as being home to the lively Jewish Quarter. Stately Buda, on the other side of the river, houses the castle district - perfect for history lovers. In the evening, enjoy the city from the water with a cruise down the Danube: the glittering lights make for a perfect backdrop to a luxurious weekend away.
Sat on the shores of the Mediterranean, the second Spanish city on the list is a must-do during the summer. Of course, visiting La Sagrada Família is a given. An as-yet unfinished masterpiece designed by Gaudí, featuring enormous towers and intricate carvings, this enormous cathedral looks pulled straight from a science fiction film and is quite the awe-inspiring scene to behold.
Florence is the cradle of life as far as the Renaissance is concerned. Once home to artistic, scientific, and political giants, the city is an explosion of priceless art, breathtaking architecture, and excellent food. If one only has a short time in the city, spend a large majority of it uncovering a myriad of Renaissance art at the Uffizi Gallery, once the offices of the scandalous Medici family.
An inherently musical city, Vienna is the perfect spot for culture lovers the world over. During the day, visit the museums within the University area of the city, wander along the banks of the Danube, or visit the Prater, dominated by a large Ferris wheel. At night, don your finery and enter the glittering world of the opera or take in a symphony.
Of course, Venice has to appear at some point on this list. Although summer may be its busiest season, don't be daunted by the crowds. Perhaps visit the island of Murano, famed for its glass, or cross the Rialto Bridge to explore the Venetian mask shops in the back streets of San Polo. Finally, visit Piazza San Marco at night, indulging in a glass of chilled Moscato as the musical quartets that play at every café regale you with a variety of music.
Have we missed your favourite city? What European cities do you particularly enjoy exploring? Leave a comment below.

Fantasy Island is a horror movie remake of a 1977 television show that was revived in 1998 and only lasted one season. Those shows were far more interesting than this film ever could be. With its lazy plot, non-likable characters and lazy writing, it took seconds from my life that I will never get back.
Fantasy Island (2020) revolves around a group of strangers who entered a contest that promised to play out their most desired fantasies. They then soon realize that everything they ever wanted starts becoming real and turning evil and must find a way to escape the island.
The cast sucks. Micheal Pena is the only slightly interesting one and he looks like he checked out five minutes into filming. Lucy Hale attempts to play this really damaged girl who wants revenge only to try to repent. Yet every time she talks, it comes off as her thinking this is a comedy and brings any moment into this stale, awkward mess that lasts too long. The cop character, Austin Stonewall, honestly speaks every line the same possible way and is the worst acted by far. How they dragged poor Michael Rooker into this, I’ll never know. Maybe he needed to pay off a mortgage.
And the movie’s not even so bad that it’s good. Its pacing is so sporadic that almost every scene is given another plot point to add that by the halfway mark, there are nine plot holes going and only one is interesting. The whole film revolves around this concept of fantasies and what would happen if they came true. However, they only give one ark an interesting spin to it, and they give it to the worst actor, Austin Stonewall.
The comedy itself never works and just leaves these weird empty moments where it pauses to wait for the audience to finish laughing, except the issue is that no one’s laughing. The worst part is that it’s boring. It goes so predictably that the last “plot twist” had me just roll my eyes and check my watch for the 15th time in a hope that it can just end. I just left while the last joke was panning out.
Fantasy Island is only a nightmare due to its stale performances, terrible writing, and poor comedy. If there is one thing I can say about this movie it’s to watch the first show. It’s 70’s cheese but it’s handled well.

Carlisle signs with Washburn football
Jeremy Carlisle never has been the biggest guy on the team in his four years as a Tonganoxie High athlete.
Known more for his explosive speed than his stature, his exact measurements were slightly undervalued on Feb. 17, when the Chieftains senior signed a letter of intent to play football at Washburn University, in Topeka.
While introducing Carlisle at the signing ceremony, THS athletics director Brandon Parker was in the midst of complimenting the WU signee for his production as an undersized high school quarterback at 5-foot-9, 160 pounds.
“That’s 170,” Carlisle quickly corrected him, wearing a grin.
Given his size, Carlisle — a key member of Tonganoxie’s football, basketball and track teams the past four years — knew playing college football would be a challenge. He said his passion for the gridiron, though, inspired him to reach that goal.
“Early on in my high school career, I thought track was gonna be my thing and focused on that, then one day I just decided that I wanted to put all of my energy and efforts into football, because that’s my love,” Carlisle said.
Upon signing with Washburn, he felt confident in that choice.
“Once I decided I was going to do that, there was no doubt, no turning back,” Carlisle said. “I feel 100 percent like I made the right decision.”
Throughout most of his football days at Tonganoxie, Carlisle played quarterback for the Chieftains. Unsurprisingly, though, he said his future Washburn coaches want him to play as a slot back, wide receiver or return specialist.
Not too long ago, Carlisle was uncertain he would be playing anywhere. He said the recruiting process was discouraging at times because it slowed due to a mid-foot strain which sidelined him a few weeks during football season. However, his recruitment picked up in January and early February, when Carlisle talked a lot with Washburn coaches and set up a visit.
Carlisle said the injury came up during a meeting with WU coaches.
“I told them the complete truth. I said: ‘Well, it still hurts from time to time but it’s not something that will hinder me at all and it will continue to heal.’ They took my word for it and knew that I wouldn’t be a liability or a problem,” Carlisle related. “It was good to see that kind of trust.”
As a freshman, Carlisle said he fully expects to red shirt in his first year with the program. He hopes to learn the pace of the college game in his second season and go from there.
“I really want to earn a starting position my third or fourth year,” Carlisle said. “I feel like that’s a really good possibility.”
Knowing going in that he will have to make a name for himself at Washburn as a returner, slot back or receiver, Carlisle said he understands what approach he must take to become an impactful player for the NCAA Division II program.
“I’m gonna go in and I’m gonna work to be the best and anything less than that is unacceptable,” he said.
Making his signing official, Carlisle said, was a huge relief. Now he is just looking forward to enjoying the rest of his senior year — and working on getting bigger.

This simple Taco Lime Grilled Chicken is so juicy and delicious! It’s easy to make and it’s full of the most amazing flavors.
The Best Grilled Chicken
Grilled chicken is a staple in our house. I don’t know about you guys, but we seem to have tacos on a regular basis in our home. This recipe is simple, flavorful and the kids (and husband) love them. I have created a simple homemade taco seasoned and lime grilled chicken that is thinly sliced and mouthwatering inside tacos. You can either marinate the chicken or grill it immediately, whatever you’ve got the time for.
Let’s take a look at how simple you can make your own restaurant style chicken for tacos.
Be sure to follow Picky Palate on Instagram for sneak peeks on what’s coming next to the blog!
Homemade Taco Seasoning
Here’s The Best Homemade Taco Seasoning: ground cumin, salt, pepper, garlic salt and smoked paprika. Regular paprika works too. Sprinkle the seasonings on both sides of your chicken.
The limes match my green mixer! Slice your lime and get ready to squeeeeeze 🙂
Thank you hubby for being my lime squeezer.
Taco Lime Grilled Chicken Recipe
Place your chicken breasts onto a hot grill pan (or outside grill). I love using my indoor grill pan all year round. Check your local kitchen store. I use Le Creuset.
Let chicken grill for 5-6 minutes per side.
After about 5-6 minutes, flip those babies and grill the other side.
After your chicken has rested about 10 minutes take a nice sharp long knife and thinly slice each breast like so.
Squeeze the second lime over the sliced chicken and serve inside tacos.
I like to pan fry my white corn tortillas in just a touch of canola or vegetable oil to soften them. I placed chicken slices inside and topped with avocado slices, tomatoes, thinly sliced spinach and a touch of my salsa ranch sauce. Enjoy!
Taco Lime Grilled Chicken
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika regular paprika works too
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 3-4 medium to large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 limes split
- Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat.
- Place cumin, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic salt into a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Place chicken breast into a large bowl or large ziploc bag. Pour seasonings over chicken then squeeze the juice of one whole lime over chicken and seasonings. Stir chicken around with seasonings and lime. You can marinate up 1-5 hours if desired. Can be grilled immediately as well.
- Spray grill lightly with cooking spray then carefully place chicken onto grill. Let grill 5-6 minutes each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Transfer chicken to a large plate and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice chicken and squeeze with juice of last lime over tops. Thinly sliced chicken goes great inside tacos. Top with your favorite toppings.

On Monday, Nov. 9, Dr. Paz Galupo spoke in Cole Cinema about the definition and role of bisexuality in our culture and how bisexuals are involved in the same-sex marriage debate.
Her talk, entitled “Bisexual Visibility and Same-Sex Marriage: Expanding Perspectives on Marriage Equality,” began with Galupo stepping onto stage and asking the audience the difference between sex and gender. After a short pause and various overlapping responses, it was generally agreed upon that sex was based on an individual’s biology and that gender was a socially defined means of expression.
“We are always looking out there and trying to make sense of [sex differences],” said Galupo.
She continued by teasing out the differences between gender expression, how an individual expresses masculinity or femininity to others, and gender identity, an individual’s private experience of whether they are masculine or feminine.
This was followed by an exploration of sexual orientation, which Galupo defined as being who an individual is attracted to based on the individual’s private gender identity and the gender identity of the object of affection.
Galupo lauded the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, which includes many variables of sexual orientation, showing its fluidity. Galupo said, “For most people it’s really hard to pin down sexual orientation to one number.”
This grid contained variables such as sexual attraction, sexual behavior, sexual fantasies, social preference, and political identity in the past, present and ideal time states which are related to a similar continuum in the Kinsey scale. Galupo pointed out that many people find the numbers are different across the grid.
Before moving into the idea of bisexuality and its role in same-sex marriage, Galupo explained how society reinforces having one gender identity and the sexual orientation is almost always exclusively defined by behavior, “Behavior becomes a litmus test for identity.”
As the talk turned to bisexuality, Galupo asked the audience to identify stereotypes and myths about a bisexual identity. Galupo said there is a “question of legitimacy of bisexuality as an identity” and that she has chosen to study bisexuality because of this fact.
She found that there was little inclusion of bisexual perspectives in the same-sex marriage debate and gave several possible reasons why: because bisexuals are seen as not interested in monogamy, because cross-sex marriages have rights that same-sex marriages do not, or because people believe bisexuality can go away if there is a certain relationship.
Galupo ended the lecture by saying that we need to take “sexual orientation back to the individual level,” and by asking, “what can taking a different perspective add to the debate?”
A few audience members gave their thoughts on the lecture after its conclusion.
“The lecture was great!” said junior Rachel Buffington. “She discussed a lot of things that I could relate to, as well as some things that I had never before considered. She talked about how a lot of people who don’t identify as gay or straight, or even bisexual, feel pressure to conform to society’s narrow conception of sexuality, which I thought was really important.”
Junior Courtney Teed said, “I enjoyed it. I felt like she presented the topic in an interesting and informative way for people that might not know much about the topic and it made me want to be more LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender] active.”

Succulents are easy to care for—and to propagate. Starting new plants from older ones is both a satisfying and inspiring project.
Posted in , Jul 3, 2019
I live in New England, which is not exactly a desert habitat. But succulents, members of the “xerophyte” family of drought-resistant plants with plump, water-conserving leaves, are favorites of mine, especially in containers indoors.
Like all plants, succulents live to propagate themselves, to create future generations of their squat, happy selves. There are two main ways to help them along in this endeavor—and when you do, you can make a whole garden from just a single succulent, or a couple of different varieties.
Each method comes with a few instructions—and the kind of inspirational life lessons gardening is uniquely equipped to teach.
Fully Formed Baby Plants
Instructions: Some varieties of succulents produce fully formed babies—adorably called “pups,” “chicks” or “plantlets,” that sprout from the base of “mother” plants and, like seeds, root wherever they fall. Watch your succulents for signs of these tiny wonders and ease them off their mother plants, setting them in sandy soil or cactus growing mix. Then let them find their way.
Inspirations: Everything that grows does so from a source that formed it, nourished it and, ultimately, becomes ready to release it. Discerning when to let go of something we’ve created and nurtured—or when to separate ourselves—is both a gift and a challenge. With confidence that we will root where we’re planted, though, we can find our way.
Instructions: Because succulent leaves are heavy with stored water, they carry within themselves the foundation of a new life. Remove a plump leaf from your plant and allow it to dry out for a few days, until it sends out the beginnings of new roots. Then plant in your sandy, cactus-ready soil mix. If a plant has become “leggy,” growing a long stem with a cluster of leaves at the end, this same method works—snip off the cluster with a small nob of stem left attached, dry out and plant.
Inspirations: Moving on and letting go doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes we need a moment to recover from a separation before we’re ready to set down new roots. Like the leaves that need some peaceful open air, we too should claim the time and space we need before embarking on whatever is next in our lives. Our next steps will be all the more fruitful for it.

' decision not to call his new album Nigger
has been praised by civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton
. The 34-year-old New York native wanted to use the title to make a political statement about the hypocrisy in hip-hop.
But criticizm from Def Jam record executives and fear of a decline in sales persuaded him to pull the title on Monday, just six weeks before the album hits stores on July 1.
And Sharpton is calling the rapper's decision a "partial victory" for racial-equality activists.
He says, "The record companies have to consider the downside of using it, business-wise. That would not have happened if we hadn't protested. I have a lot of respect for Nas. I liked what he said about (police shooting victim
) Sean Bell. We have a fundamental disagreement on this. He can rap against me. I'll preach against them. We're still friends."
But Nas insists the album's original title will still resonate with his fans.
He says, "The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."

London design consultancy Tanka has redesigned the on- and off-line branding and identity for on-line recruitment agency Tempjobs, as part of a 12-month deal worth £500 000. The consultancy won a three-way creative pitch against Bluewave and Blueberry for the project.
The website is financed by recruitment company Reed Executive. It initially went live in March, and was originally designed by Tanka.
However, the group has now further developed the branding to reflect the expanded range of services being offered by Tempjobs since its establishment.
“Tempjobs brings together many different elements on-line – from assessment to timesheets – and demands great versatility, not least in terms of media,” explains Tempjobs director of media Paul Rapacioli.
“Tanka showed versatility across all the media we’ll be using – Web, interactive, TV and Wap – which gave us the confidence that the group will be able to deal with, and excel in, whatever is round the corner,” adds Rapacioli.

The small series of black and white furnishings by the Swedish group Front, which work on the interaction between two-dimensional decoration and object, are suitable for both the day areas as well as the bedroom. Light and poetic signifiers - curtains that quiver as though brushed by a hand, flounce fabrics, regular square areas - cover three-dimensionally the surfaces of three furnishing items: a vertical cabinet, a sideboard and a wall-mounted horizontal storage unit with coplanar doors, designed for those who do not forget emotions in furnishing. The optical effect of these detailed designs, applied to doors, side and back panels of three Modern modules creates a trompe l’œil effect that deceives the gaze and transports us into the world of fairytales, where square forms are softened by gentle fabrics and threads in movement, for a more intimate and feminine living environment. This small new collection that confuses appearance and reality, represents the conceptual follow-up to the material research of Material House, the collection conceived in 2007 by Piero Lissoni, personalising through finishes hand applied to the most representative pieces of the Porro catalogue.

An admission of Republican failure hovers beneath every racist coronavirus slur
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Republicans, encouraged by the twice-impeached, former one-term president, have persisted in using the phrase "China virus" or "Wuhan virus" to describe the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these same Republicans have insisted, despite an overwhelming scientific consensus to the contrary, that the virus was created in a Chinese laboratory as opposed to originating in an animal host. Last April, as the pandemic spread uncontrolled throughout the U.S., the GOP sent a detailed, 57-page internal memo to its 2020 election candidates, specifically urging them to blame China at every turn when faced with questions about the administration's efforts to combat the pandemic.
Of course, the predictable result from repeating this theme was a marked upsurge in violence directed towards Asian Americans. The link between Trump and the GOP's anti-China rhetoric and such violence prompted President Joe Biden, in one of his first official acts upon taking office, to ban such pejorative terminology from our federal agencies and their public documents. Still, despite the well-documented consequences to Asian Americans, elected Republican officials—such as Ohio Lt. Gov. John Husted only last week—continue to trot out the racist slur.
While the connection between this rhetoric and acts of violence is obvious, it's important for Americans to remember why Trump and the GOP made this conscious, collective decision in the first place. Blaming China was more than a deliberate attempt to shift the blame for the pandemic itself,; as employed almost exclusively by Republicans, it was a deliberate attempt to distract from the administration's wholly botched response.
From the very start the "Chinese virus" appellation was intentionally amplified by American right-wing media. It's a slur which almost revels in its senselessness. To be clear, even if the virus actually had man-made origins—even if the virus been created in Xi Jinping's basement with a vintage Gilbert chemistry set—from a practical standpoint, the precise origin of the virus, be it bat, bald eagle or Beijing lab, is essentially irrelevant. Whether the virus originated in China, Kenya, or Wyoming is distinct from the question of how the global community has responded to it, which is what ultimately matters.
That distinction is what Trump's favorite slur tries to obfuscate. The tragic reality is that the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic was atrocious compared to nearly every other developed nation in the world. It was so bad it turned this country into a pariah nation, a cautionary tale of what not to do in a public health crisis.
And that abysmal response, whose ineptitude and human cost will doubtlessly fill the history books for the next hundred years as an example of what failed, indifferent government policies can lead to, was due almost entirely to an abdication of responsibility towards the American public by one of this country's two major political parties. Republicans were the ones responsible for electing, abetting and encouraging an Executive uniquely and pathologically unsuited to addressing the catastrophic implications of a global pandemic. Republicans were the ones who stood by silently, while our public health infrastructure and pandemic response capabilities were being gleefully dismantled by the the Trump administration. And Republicans of every stripe must bear the ultimate responsibility for the consequences of that failure, whether they choose to admit it or not.
Only recently, as the nation finally begins to extricate itself from this calamity, is a reckoning of sorts coming forth. The most up-to-date estimates place direct blame on Donald Trump for approximately 400,000 of the deaths that have occurred to date due to COVID-19. There is literally no president in American history whose malfeasance resulted in so many deaths of U.S. citizens.
But Trump didn't act alone. The death toll was increased exponentially due to the sycophancy of a Republican establishment lined up behind him, adopting his cues as the pandemic's impact continued to worsen. Every Republican at the state and federal level who acquiesced to the former administration's malfeasance either by parroting lethal anti-masking propaganda, forcefully advocating reopening businesses in the name of "personal freedom," or hawking phony cures and ridiculous conspiracy theories is complicit.
So the appeal of the slur to Republicans, however irrelevant to the actual harm caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is easy enough to understand, because it serves as an ready distraction from the blame they so richly deserve for allowing a public health crisis to become a calamity. The entire approach by the Trump administration was intended to abandon any leadership role of the federal government, and thereby escape blame for any failure to stop it. As pointed out by Josh Marshall, writing for Talking Points Memo, this exercise in blame avoidance was intentional, a key to the administration's overall strategy when faced with its own ineptitude.
From the very start of the Pandemic in the first weeks of 2020 the Trump administration consistently sought to disclaim responsibility for things that would be genuinely difficult and could have challenging or bad outcomes. Push the tough tasks on to others and if it goes badly blame them. This frequently went to absurd lengths as when the White House insisted that states short on ventilators at the peak of the spring surge should have known to purchase them in advance of the pandemic. Over the course of the year Trump spun up an alternative reality in which the US was somehow still operating under the Articles of Confederation in which individual states were responsible for things that have been viewed as inherently federal responsibilities for decades or centuries.
But the impetus wasn't ideological. It was mainly a means of self-protection and risk avoidance: arrange things so that the administration could take credit if things went well and blame states if they went bad. Nowhere was this more clear than in the months' long crisis over testing capacity. Since the administration was actually hostile to testing in general and couldn't solve the problem in any case they simply claimed it was a state responsibility.
As Marshall points out, the one constant during Trump's entire botched handling of the COVID-19 pandemic—from the first warnings of an incipient health crisis through and including Trump's final day in office—was "to put it off on someone else so the White House didn't get the blame."
Attributing the pandemic to China or Wuhan, or the rally staple "Kung flu?" That was always a calculated part of Trump's attempt to avoid blame, one which immediately filtered down to the state level and was adopted by Republican officials equally eager to dodge blame. Even following a year of racially-motivated attacks on Asian Americans that resulted from this distraction campaign, most House Republicans still refused to condemn Trump's rhetoric.
As detailed by Alex Samuels, writing for FiveThirtyEight, the vilification of China had its desired effect among the Republican constituency.
Ultimately, blaming China for the pandemic didn't help Trump win reelection in 2020, but unfavorable views of China are at a record high among Americans.1 And there are signs that Americans, especially Republicans, blame China for the spread of the coronavirus. A November Economist/YouGov poll found, for instance, that 64 percent of all registered voters and 86 percent of Republicans said it was definitely or probably true that China was responsible for the pandemic.
The key word for Republicans here was "responsible." Republicans recognize that Donald Trump and those GOP officials that adopted his strategy throughout this crisis were ultimately responsible for the U.S. sustaining a higher death toll from this virus than any other country in the world. As Samuels notes, that fact practically compels them to find a scapegoat for their own failure, with any blowback inflicted on Asian-Americans a secondary consideration at best.
[T]he experts I've talked to think that if people uphold a specific worldview by delegitimizing another group, the framing of diseases will always be political — no matter how apolitical we think diseases are. That's because racism itself is a disease, and as Roger Keil, a political scientist at York University, told me, "[I]t seems to spread sometimes like a virus." Keil compared it to watching a video online: "For every video that links the disease to Chinese people, there will be 10 or 1,000 people watching, so it's normalized," he said. "It's terrible, but that's how racism spreads."
The Trump administration knew the implications of COVID-19,from the outset and that it presented his prospects and those of his minions with a truly daunting, existential crisis. The China scapegoating began immediately and continued throughout the rest of Trump's tenure, heedless of whatever harm such scapegoating would have on millions of Asian-Americans. Republican leaders willingly followed his lead and have continued to do so up to this day. But every time one of them utters the words "Chinese virus" or "Wuhan virus," what they're really doing is dodging their own responsibility for the worst response to a major public health crisis in this nation's history.

S.T.A.N. feat. Sofa Brown “The Almighty Dollar “
Published in Blog, Break on a Cloud. Tags: Music, Nashville.
The tone for “The Almighty Dollar” is set early in the first single from S.T.A.N.‘s forthcoming Nightmare Next Door release, as the brooding track flips between verses from the MC and the P.U.S.H. Productions mainstay Sofa Brown. Produced by Fred the Tech, the dueling verses cascade over the sounds of a haunting piano and thunderous beat. “My goal with ‘The Almighty Dollar’ was to raise the awareness of the evils people rely on just to get by,” explains S.T.A.N. “From crooked leader heads in church down to the stick up kids on the block. The track is just a sample of what’s going on Next Door.” The new album will be released on Halloween, further emphasizing the theme that the new songs will play to. “Every track has a somewhat dark undertone feel with real life situations.”

An extremely leisurely start to the day was very much needed.
We went to a Greek restaurant for lunch. I opted for the moussaka. The meal was very nice, after the meal we stopped off for a drink at a bar round the corner.
Next we headed to The Bronx to grab a drink in Billy's Sports Bar. The bar quickly filled up with Yankees fans. We met Sarah's friends & grabbed our seats.
The Yankees won, & although I may have been the most obvious tourist it was great fun. I purchased a Yankees shirt, grabbed a hot dog, some cracker jacks, & a mountain dew.
Going to Yankee stadium & seeing them hit some home runs was a great all American experience.

Ipswich 2 Burnley 1
IPSWICH Town hit back from a goal down to gain three hard-earned Championship points against Burnley at Portman Road today.
The Blues hero was striker Alan Lee, who equalised in the 63rd minute and was then brought down by Michael Duff for Matt Richards to win the game with an 82nd minute penalty.
Lee had struck the foot of the post with a first half header, and he was also denied by two good saves by Brian Jensen.
Ipswich perhaps suffered a first half-hangover after their win at Norwich, but with Richard Naylor up front in the second period they fought their way to victory.
- 1 'He'd be dead' - mum's terror after wave drags her and baby down beach
- 2 Teenager sexually assaulted and then robbed in Ipswich
- 3 GALLERY: Photos show devastating aftermath of huge fire near Ipswich
- 4 Smoke seen across Ipswich as crews tackle large fire
- 5 Ongoing heathland blaze sees 147 calls made to fire service
- 6 Travellers pitch up in one of Ipswich's busiest parks
- 7 Teenager’s 10 year sentence is warning over ‘horrendous’ acid attacks
- 8 Open air theatre coming to Ipswich park later this month
- 9 Redundant care home being used as homes applying for planning after 5 years
- 10 Strong interest expected as 'prime' town centre shop unit hits market with price tag of more than £1m
Their fans went home happy after such a rip-roaring recovery although the penalty decision looked debatable with Wayne Thomas being sent off for protesting and getting a second yellow card.
Michael Ricketts gave Burnley a 45th minute lead with a slick finish when Town were caught out at the back
