Apple has come under fire in China for kowtowing to Beijing, after withdrawing an app which allowed users to circumvent the Great Firewall.
OpenDoor, which markets itself as a browser and helps users circumvent local internet restrictions like a VPN, was pulled from the Chinese version of iTunes without warning in July, according to Radio Netherlands.
The app, which recently celebrated its first birthday and 800,000 downloads, apparently derived around a third of its users from the Middle Kingdom before the shutdown.
Apple's explanation was that the app "includes content that is illegal in China", OpenDoor's US developer, Not Be Limited, told the station.
Understandably, the dev was slightly peeved at this, as there are still other VPN apps up for sale on the Chinese version of iTunes.
"It is unclear to us how a simple browser app could include illegal contents, since it's the user's own choosing of what websites to view," it apparently wrote in a letter to Apple.
"Using the same definition, wouldn't all browser apps, including Apple's own Safari and Google's Chrome, include illegal contents?"
Although companies operating in China, like Apple, certainly have to abide by local laws, the seemingly arbitrary nature of this particular takedown is likely to make iOS developers selling into that lucrative market somewhat concerned.
The authorities launched something of a crack down on foreign VPNs in the PRC at the turn of the year, but things have gone a relatively quiet on that front since, so the timing of this one is a little strange.
Ironically enough, in December 2012 Apple switched its Chinese iTunes site to HTTPS for searches and downloads, effectively enabling it to bypass Great Firewall blocks on specific content.
In the absence of OpenDoor, Chinese netizens will just have to use another VPN to get their Facebook fix.
Apple couldn't immediately be reached for additional comment. ®

SNL housings in the 30, 31 and 32 series with labyrinth or taconite seals are intended for grease lubrication. For oil lubrication, housings with oil seals (→ Housings for oil lubrication) or Split plummer block housings SONL series should be used.
The lubricant should be selected based on the operating conditions of the bearing. For additional information, refer to Lubricant selection.
Initial grease fill
If no other requirements exist, the free space in the bearing should be completely filled with grease and the free space in the housing should be filled to 20 to 40% of its volume. A 40% grease fill is required when bearings have to be relubricated from the side, while a 20% grease fill is used when bearings are relubricated via the outer ring.
The housing base has markings to show the height of a 40% grease fill (fig. 1). For highly contaminated environments and slow speeds, fill the housing to 70–80%. For best protection against contaminants, use the SKF Three-Barrier Solution. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Quantites for 20 and 40% grease fills are listed in table 1. The values are valid for a typical lithium grease (about 0,95 g/cm3). They include the grease for the bearing, but not the grease to fill the seals. For sealed bearings, the values have to be adjusted.
In most applications, the initial grease fill will adequately lubricate the bearing until the grease is exchanged during the next planned maintenance interval.
SNL plummer block housings enable relubrication of the incorporated bearings and seals. There are three drilled and tapped holes for an AH 1/8-27 PTF grease fitting: two in the cap (one centred and one offset), and one in the base. Each hole is sealed at delivery with a threaded plug.
Dimples cast into the top of the housing cap indicate alternative positions where holes can be drilled and tapped to accommodate a grease fitting. The two dimples on the outer sides of the central ridge indicate the position for lubrication holes for the seals.
The following items are supplied with each housing:
- a grease fitting, designation AH 1/8-27 PTF, with a plastic cover (fitting protector)
- a grease fitting, designation M1 G 1/8
an adapter, designation LAPN 1/8
The adapter transforms the 1/8-27 NPSF thread to a G 1/4, which enables the use of grease lubricators such as SKF MultiPoint.
Relubrication via the outer ring
The hole in the centre of the cap or the hole in the base should be used to relubricate spherical roller bearings with a relubrication feature (a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring) (fig. 2). When applying grease via the relubrication feature, the shaft should be rotating. Narrow bearings (dimension series 13 and 22) in the locating position can be axially displaced, so that the relubrication groove in the bearing does not line up with the relubrication hole in the housing cap. Make sure the bearing is sufficiently centred when relubricating.
Relubrication from the side
When relubricating from the side, which is typically necessary for CARB toroidal roller bearings, the offset hole in the housing should be used (fig. 3).
When bearings mounted on an adapter sleeve have to be relubricated from the side, the grease should be introduced from the side opposite the lock nut.
When bearings mounted at the end of a shaft have to be relubricated from the side, the grease should be applied at the point closest to the end cover.
Grease escape holes
Oil lubrication
SNL housings in the 30, 31 and 32 series can be used in applications where there are relatively high speeds and the bearings are lubricated via an oil bath or circulating oil lubrication system.
The housings must be modified to accommodate one of the following oil seals:
- TURT or TURA for oil bath or circulating oil lubrication system (→ Seals for oil lubrication)
- TURP for circulating oil lubrication system and large axial movements (→ Seals for large axial movements)
Housings modified for oil lubrication are not stock items. Check availability prior to ordering.

Historical Timeline updated: Season 2 Finale edition
Season 2 of TURN: Washington's Spies is a wrap, which means we've got one last timeline update for the season! You can click on the image above to view the full-size Timeline, or better yet, visit the Timeline Page to view a chronological list of every event along with links for further reading.
The Season 2 Finale merited quite a few additions to the Timeline, including the Battle of Monmouth, one of the largest engagements of the Revolutionary War in terms of troop numbers. John Andre was present, but Benjamin Tallmadge and the 2nd Dragoons were not; historically, the young Marquis de Lafayette played a crucial role in the battle, but TURN left him on the sidelines for the entire episode in spite of having introduced him to much fanfare just a few episodes earlier.
The Thomas Hickey affair (a fascinating true story from earlier in the war) received similarly strange treatment in the finale. In the TURN universe, Hickey was the final piece that wrapped up an episodes-long treasonous plot to kidnap Washington, but the entire scene felt like an afterthought hastily shoved into the last five minutes of the episode. The very title of the Season 2 Finale — "Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot" — was actually a reference to the English poem about Guy Fawkes as quoted in one of the most well-known eyewitness accounts of the Thomas Hickey execution, quoted at the beginning of this well-written summary of the event.
Additionally, we have yet another event to add to the right-hand extreme of the Historical Timeline. A central plot point of the finale episode was Akinbode/Jordan's plot to take Abigail and Cicero to Canada. As J.L. Bell points out in his latest weekly review of TURN, this makes no sense, given that slavery was legal in all British colonies, including Canada, in 1778. The writers appear to be setting up Canada as some anachronistic, proto-Underground Railroad destination for this sympathetic Revolutionary War family, even though the abolition of slavery in Canada was a gradual process that began in the 1790s and wasn't complete until well into the 19th century. (You might find a few unexpected TURN-related names if you were to browse the history of slavery and abolition in Canada.)
Finally, there's also an event in the Timeline related to Peggy Shippen's final relationship status — even though we're getting slightly ahead of the show's chronology — on account of so many readers inquiring about it. (As you can tell from the rest of the Timeline, the actual historical record doesn't necessarily act as a "spoiler" for TURN, since the show departs so radically from documented history.)
Today: #RenewTURN Twitter Rally
Last year, TURN fans waited two long weeks after the Season 1 finale for confirmation that the show would be renewed for Season 2. We can expect more of the same waiting period this year, if comments made last week by AMC network CEO Josh Sapan are any indication.
According to Variety, Sapan said that the cable network would "assess" the futures of both "TURN: Washington's Spies" and "Halt and Catch Fire." Both historical dramas (Yes, the 1980s counts as a historical time period, as depressing as that might be to some) debuted in 2014 and have struggled in the ratings despite amassing small, devoted fanbases. If it's any consolation, the raw numbers for Season 1 of "Halt & Catch Fire" (in 2014) were very close to the numbers for Season 2 of TURN (in 2015) — and last year AMC gave "Halt and Catch Fire" the green light for another season.
For you devoted TURN fans who are on Twitter, @TurnonAMC (an unofficial handle) is leading an effort to get the hashtag #RenewTURN trending later tonight. Details can be found here. We'll be keeping tabs on the latest TURN renewal news and will post it on Twitter, Facebook, and (of course) here on the blog once we hear any official word!

This is a wingsuit flight you have to see. Patrick Kerber leaps from the summit of the Ochs at 3,895 m in the Bernese Oberland for a 185 km/h flight in the Swiss Alps.
Check out the video and prepare to be inspired.
But the jump is only part of the story. This wasn't just an extraordinary BASE jump. This was para-alpinism. To get to the take-off site, Kerber first had to had to climb over the Fiescherhorn (4,049 m).
After staying at the Mönchsjoch hut, he and partner Simon Wandeler set off at 4am.
"The hardest part was to climb and cross over on the Gross Fiescherhorn. There was lots of ice and snow it took eight hours of climbing to reach the exit point. The jump-off but was covered with a lot of snow," he adds, "so we had to dig it all out and prepare it for a good push."
What makes the jump unique is that Kerber did not have any external support and BASE jumped with all his gear.
"My goal was to approach this project only with my buddy and to fly all the gear that we brought up back down – that meant crampons, ice axe, harness, laser device to measure the jump, karabiners, ice screws etc. All this stuff had to find space in the suit and this is only possible with new pockets that are integrated in the wings."
He adds: "This is though a big deal when it comes to aerodynamics. So after climbing up for quite some time and also getting tired, you have to make sure that all the technical aspects are correct too or the suit will not fly the right way."
"When you plan a project like this, you can only take and bring the most important gear with you, but also enough to be always safe."
Naturally, that included Kerber's Suunto Ambit2.

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2009:1671
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
This update fixes the following security issues:
a flaw was found in the Realtek r8169 Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel. pci_unmap_single() presented a memory leak that could lead to IOMMU space exhaustion and a system crash. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by using jumbo frames for large amounts of network traffic. (CVE-2009-3613, Important)
NULL pointer dereference flaws were found in the r128 driver in the Linux kernel. Checks to test if the Concurrent Command Engine state was initialized were missing in private IOCTL functions. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-3620, Important)
an information leak was found in the Linux kernel. On AMD64 systems, 32-bit processes could access and read certain 64-bit registers by temporarily switching themselves to 64-bit mode. (CVE-2009-2910, Moderate)
the unix_stream_connect() function in the Linux kernel did not check if a UNIX domain socket was in the shutdown state. This could lead to a deadlock. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-3621, Moderate)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
an iptables rule with the recent module and a hit count value greater than the ip_pkt_list_tot parameter (the default is 20), did not have any effect over packets, as the hit count could not be reached. (BZ#529306)
in environments that use dual-controller storage devices with the cciss driver, Device-Mapper Multipath maps could not be detected and configured, due to the cciss driver not exporting the bus attribute via sysfs. This attribute is now exported. (BZ#529309)
the kernel crashed with a divide error when a certain joystick was attached. (BZ#532027)
a bug in the mptctl_do_mpt_command() function in the mpt driver may have resulted in crashes during boot on i386 systems with certain adapters using the mpt driver, and also running the hugemem kernel. (BZ#533798)
on certain hardware, the igb driver was unable to detect link statuses correctly. This may have caused problems for network bonding, such as failover not occurring. (BZ#534105)
the RHSA-2009:1024 update introduced a regression. After updating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 and rebooting, network links often failed to be brought up for interfaces using the forcedeth driver. "no link during initialization" messages may have been logged. (BZ#534112)
the RHSA-2009:1024 update introduced a second regression. On certain systems, PS/2 keyboards failed to work. (BZ#537344)
a bug in checksum offload calculations could have crashed the bnx2x firmware when the iptable_nat module was loaded, causing network traffic to stop. (BZ#537013)
a check has been added to the IPv4 code to make sure that the routing table data structure, rt, is not NULL, to help prevent future bugs in functions that call ip_append_data() from being exploitable. (BZ#537016)
possible kernel pointer dereferences on systems with several NFS mounts (a mixture of "-o lock" and "-o nolock"), which in rare cases may have caused a system crash, have been resolved. (BZ#537017)
Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
Merged security bulletin from advisories: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2009-December/028431.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2009-December/028432.html

We have an exciting announcement: our SECOND cookbook is about to come out!
Yes, as we've been merrily posting away as per usual, we were also working on another collaboration behind the scenes. Because we both enjoy quite a bit of vegan cooking in the context of our non-vegan lives, we were selected by Gibbs Smith (publisher of "101 Things To Do With Tofu") to contribute to their new Virgin Vegan series, designed for people new to vegan eating and cooking. Ours is titled "Virgin Vegan: Everyday Recipes for Satisfying Your Appetite", and will be officially released on March 1st (though you can of course pre-order it now).
So to celebrate, we're going to share a different recipe from our new baby every day this week – and at the end of the week, we'll give away FIVE COPIES. You can enter each and every day, and we'll tally up ALL the entries from all 5 posts to select our five winners via Random.org. Like so:
1. Any single comment counts as an entry all on its own (one per post)
2. Share that day's recipe post on Facebook
3. Pin it on Pinterest
4. And of course, Tweet it.
You know, the usual. When you post, please make sure you're using a valid email address so we can get in touch with you for shipping info.
On to the sample recipe!

Paula Amato , Maggie Blott- Pregnancy Day by Day English PDF
Pregnancy Day by Day: An Illustrated Daily Countdown to Motherhood, from Conception to Childbirth and Beyond by Paula Amato (Editor), Maggie Blott (Editor) DK Publishing | 496 pages | PDF | 20 MB
It has a page for every day of the pregnancy with useful information, tips, advice and pictures. Key topics such as screening tests, scans and the first days after the birth are covered in their own sections as well. The writing and explanations are very clear, the pictures are great and the information is pretty accurate. Having a 2minute read every day is informative, exciting and a great way to slowly build up a lot of knowledge of what is happening with your (partners?) pregnancy.
There are a couple of minor inconsistencies in the book. For example, there's one page where the average baby size (Crown to Rump Length) is wrong and it has the first trimester ending in week 12, rather than 13 as seen elsewhere. But these are trivial in a book that's such a rich source of info.

A spokesman for Ride-the-wind said: "What makes Ride the Wind's Everglades tours so different from the other Everglades tours is the fact that you are on a private airboat with family and friends. With being a truly private experience, you can see a lot more, spend a lot more time and experience things only a select few can."
The private Everglades airboat tour which would make a perfect present to those celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or a wedding, take off from Weston, Florida. There are different packages available which start from a one-hour private tour. This is a truly unique experience which those on the tour will talk about the months to come. It has become so popular, Ride-the-wind welcomes visitors from the UK, Australia, and Canada who are visiting the USA and looking for things to do in Orlando.
To learn more about the best things to do in Orlando, and to experience gliding across the water in an Airboat, please visit http://www.ride-the-wind.com/
About Ride-the-wind

RECORD: Darwin, C. R. 1855. On the power of icebergs to make rectilinear uniformly-directed grooves across a submarine undulatory surface. The London, Edinburgh and Dublin Philosophical Magazine 10 (August): 96-98.
REVISION HISTORY: Scanned, OCRed, corrected and edited by John van Wyhe 2002-8, textual corrections by Sue Asscher 12.2006. RN2
XII. On the power of Icebergs to make rectilinear, uniformly-directed Grooves across a Submarine Undulatory Surface. By C. DARWIN, Esq., Vice-Pres. R.S., F.G.S.*
HAVING been induced to believe, with many geologists, that certain continuously scored and polished surfaces of rock were due to icebergs, and not to glaciers, I have nevertheless always felt much difficulty in understanding how long, rectilinear scratches, running in one given direction across an undulatory surface, could have been thus formed. Others have felt this same difficulty, and it has been advanced as an insuperable difficulty by the opponents of iceberg action. The following considerations, though possessing little or no novelty, have in my own case removed the difficulty. But first, to give one instance of such scratches, I may quote a passage from Agassiz†, who, in describing the state of the surface near Lake Superior, says, "nothing is more striking in this respect than the valleys or depressions of the soil running E. and W., where we see the scratches crossing such undulations at right angles, descending along the southern gentle slope of a hill, traversing the flat bottom below, and rising up the next hill south in unbroken continuity." He proceeds to state that the scratches run up even steep northern slopes, though the southern faces of the hills are generally rugged. A glacier driven straight forwards over its unequal bed would perfectly account for these facts; but not so, at first appearance, floating ice, whether that of coast-ice or of icebergs. For such masses being borne along on the level ocean, would, when driven on shore or against a submarine hill, be deflected, as it might be thought, from their course, and mark the rocks horizontally or nearly so,—some allowance being made for the rise and fall of the tide. And although during either the submergence or emergence of the land, the whole surface of a mountain might become thus marked, yet the successive scores at each level would all be nearly horizontal. No doubt short inclined grooves might be formed by masses of ice being driven by gales up the beach; but as sea-shores run in every possible direction, it is obvious that such grooves could follow no uniform course, nor could they be of any considerable length; hence grooves thus made would not be comparable with those now under discussion.
The plasticity of glaciers, as shown by the manner in which they immediately expand after passing through gorges, and in which they mould themselves to every sinuosity and prominence in their beds, is now, thanks to the labours of a few eminent men, familiarly known to every geologist. It is asserted by
* Communicated by the Author.
† Lake Superior, its Physical Character, &c., by L. Agassiz, p. 406.1
1 Agassiz 1850.
some authors that glacier ice is most plastic when most charged with water, and the lower part of an iceberg must be water-logged. Again, a glacier, for instance of 1000 feet in thickness, must press on its bed with the whole immense weight of the superincumbent ice; but in an iceberg 1000 feet thick, as the whole floats, there will of course be no pressure on a surface exactly level with its bottom, and if driven over a prominence standing up at the bottom of the sea some 50 or 100 feet above the basal line of the berg, only the weight of as much ice as is forced up above the natural level of the floating mass, will press on the prominence. It may therefore, I think, be concluded that an iceberg could be driven over great inequalities of surface easier than could a glacier. That the weight of a comparatively thin sheet of ice is sufficient to groove rocks, we may infer from the case described by Sir C. Lyell of the scores made by the packed shore-ice on the coast of the United States. That icebergs do not break up when grounded, as à priori might have seemed probable, is obvious from the simple fact of their having been often observed in this condition in open turbulent seas. Let anyone who has witnessed the crash of even so small an object as a ship, when run into by another having only a barely perceptible movement, reflect on the terrific momentum of an iceberg, some mile or two square, and from 1000 to 2000 feet in thickness, when, borne onwards by a current of only half a mile per hour, it runs on a submarine bank: may we not feel almost certain, that, moulding itself like a glacier (of which it originally was a portion), but owing to its water-logged state and little downward pressure moulding itself more perfectly than a glacier, it would slide straight onwards over considerable inequalities, scratching and grooving the undulatory surface in long, straight lines? In short, if in our mind's eye we look at an iceberg, not as a rigid body (as has hitherto been always my case) which would be deflected or broken up when driven against any submarine obstacle, but as a huge semi-viscid, or at least flexible mass floating on the water, I believe much of the difficulty will be removed which some have experienced in understanding how rectilinear grooves could be formed continuously running, as if regardless of the outline of the surface, up and down moderately steep inequalities, now existing as hills on the land. It should be borne in mind that the course of deeply-floating icebergs is determined by the currents of the sea, and not, as remarked by Scoresby, by the shifting winds; and as the currents of the sea are well known to be definite in their course, so will be the grooves formed by current-borne icebergs. It is indeed difficult to imagine any difference between the effect on the underlying surface, of a glacier propelled by its gravity, and that of a mountainous island of ice
driven onwards by an oceanic current, except that the iceberg would perhaps have the power, from the causes above specified, of even more closely moulding itself, and, as it were, of flowing straight over submarine obstacles, than has a glacier on the dry land.
One other point is perhaps worth considering. I have elsewhere* endeavoured to show that the action of coast-ice and of icebergs must be considerably different in transporting boulders; the worn stones on the beach being imbedded in coast-ice, and fragments of rock which had originally fallen on the parent-glacier being carried by icebergs as on rafts. But when we reflect that icebergs are driven onwards year after year in certain definite directions by the currents of the sea,—that they float so deeply as to have been seen aground at the depth of 1500 feet,—that when stranded they must (as I conceive) mould themselves to the inequalities of the bottom and slide some distance over it,—it can hardly be doubted that they also must, like glaciers on the land, push in certain determinate directions moraines before them. Although a fragment of rock or an irregularly formed moraine may by any one iceberg be propelled for only a very short distance, yet in the course of years the transportal can hardly fail to become far extended, the boulders being rolled over large inequalities of surface, and even up heights by the action of successively smaller bergs: an abyss, however, deeper than the deepest-floating iceberg would, of course, absolutely stop this rolling or pushing action. Finally, in the case of every mass of erratic boulders, we have now to determine, and I believe hereafter it will be so determined, whether they were transported by glaciers or by floating ice, and in this latter case whether imbedded in coast-ice, strewed on the surface of icebergs, or pushed onwards as a subaqueous moraine.

Cabell's big night leads JU past Stetson, 74-63
Dolphins snap four game losing streak
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Aloys Cabell was the first man on the court, taking extra shots in preparation for Jacksonville's must-win game against Stetson on Monday night.
He took that focus and determination in warm-ups into the game, scoring a career-high 28 points as the Dolphins snapped a four-game losing streak with a 74-63 win in Atlantic Sun Conference play.
Cabell hit 8-of-18 from the floor, including 5-of-8 from behind the arc, while going 7-of-11 from the free throw line. It was the highest point total for a Dolphin since Ben Smith scored 32 against East Tennessee State on Dec. 12, 2009.
Cabell's big night highlighted a team effort from JU, with nine of the 11 Dolphins getting into the scoring column. Jacksonville (5-19, 3-10 A-Sun) was hot from behind the arc, tying its season high with nine 3-pointers.
"Tonight was a complete team effort," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "Everyone that played contributed for us, whether it was scoring or on defense."
After falling behind by nine midway through the first half, the Dolphins came alive. Jacksonville rallied to tie the game at 29 on a Tevin Galvin layup as part of a 13-2 run that ended the half to give the Dolphins a 38-31 lead.
Jacksonville stormed out of the locker room to start the second half, scoring the first four points to lead 42-31. Stetson (8-16, 5-8 A-Sun) cut the deficit to three, 56-53, with 9:55 left on a Joel Naburgs 3-pointer.
The Dolphins were not to be denied on this evening. JU answered with a burst to push the lead back to nine, with Glenn Powell doing the honors with a steal and breakaway dunk that iced the game with 5:46 left.
Powell had 15 points and six rebounds for JU, while Galvin had 10 rebounds to go with his seven points. Delwan Graham had a career-high five steals to go with eight boards and seven points.
Stetson got 22 points from Aaron Graham with Naburgs adding 11 and Chris Perez chipping in with 10.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington's mayor confronted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the steps of the Capitol Wednesday about the federal shutdown that has imperiled the city government, eliciting a terse reply from his fellow Democrat.
Mayor Vincent Gray and his allies in the House of Representatives blame Senate Democrats and the White House for failing to authorize the city to spend its local tax dollars during the shutdown, a step that was taken during the last protracted federal shutdown in 1995.
After pleading the city's case before reporters and hundreds of supporters, Gray walked across a plaza to the steps of the Capitol, where Senate Democrats were holding their own news conference urging Republicans to end the shutdown. Gray then stood next to Reid.
The mayor pressed his case with Reid after the news conference ended, and Reid told Gray, "I'm on your side. Don't screw it up, OK?"
Gray said he did not know what Reid meant by the remark, and he said he would seek a formal meeting with the majority leader. The mayor's staff has been in frequent contact with Reid's office, but no meeting has been scheduled.
The District of Columbia is barred from spending local tax dollars without approval from Congress, meaning that the city has to shut down if the federal government does. Gray has been using emergency funds to keep the city running, but that money is expected to be exhausted by next week. Services for the elderly and disabled would be imperiled if the money ran out, and the district's charter schools may have to close if they don't receive a quarterly payment due next week, Gray said.
The Republican-led House approved a bill last week that would allow the city government to keep running, but Senate Democrats and the White House have objected to funding the government on a piecemeal basis. Gray argued that the city should not be treated like the other federal agencies that House Republicans have attempted to fund because there are no federal tax dollars at issue.
Reid blamed Republicans for the district's plight. Asked whether he would free the city's budget, the Nevada Democrat said, "Don't talk to us; talk to the Republicans. They're the ones objecting to it."
In 2011, Gray was arrested outside the Capitol as he and other city leaders protested a federal budget deal that took away the district's ability to spend money on abortions for poor women. Some questioned the mayor's tactics then in dealing with Congress.
While the mayor has a cordial relationship with Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., a California Republican who chairs the committee that oversees the district, city leaders have little clout on Capitol Hill, especially since Republicans took control of the House in 2011. Issa's committee has approved a bill that would allow the city to spend its own money without congressional approval — in part to avert the situation the city faces now — but the bill hasn't made it to the House floor.
Gray's spokesman, Pedro Ribeiro, blamed the district's lack of representation in Congress for the mayor's inability to influence Senate Democrats, and he said the mayor meant no disrespect when he approached Reid.
"We have no voice in the Senate. We have a voice in the House who doesn't even have the right to vote," Ribeiro said, referring to the city's nonvoting delegate. "Sometimes you've got to knock on the door and say, `Excuse me."'

The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody but Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass
- Publisher: Plume
- Publication date: 2012-05-01
- Edition: Reprint
- Language: English
- Pages: 368
From the New York Times bestselling author and host of HBO's Real Time, Bill Maher's latest collection of political riffs and savagely funny suggestions for preserving sanity in an insane world. New Rule: The next Republican Convention must be held in a giant closet. Every week there's a new gay Republican outed. I have a feeling that "big tent" they're always talking about is in their pants. There are so many Republicans in the closet, their symbol shouldn't be an elephant; it should be a moth. New Rule: If one of your news organization's headlines is about who got kicked off Dancing with the Stars last night, you're no longer a news organization. Sort of like, if you were on Dancing with the Stars last night, you're no longer a star. Media, celebrity, Democrats, Republicans, religion, children, marine life, electronics, that couple making out in the next booth—when it comes to lighting up his targets, Bill Maher is an equal-opportunity destroyer. The New New Rules offers Maher's new and best-loved observations about the world around us, along with some modest tips for its improvement. Because wouldn't life be a little better if the inside of the office microwave didn't look like a Jackson Pollock painting, or if fathers stopped signing up their nine-year-olds to win free hunting trips? Scathingly funny and relentlessly unafraid of sensitive topics, Maher's hilarious brand of realism is more welcome and necessary than ever. So sit back, read on, and enjoy. You may not agree with all his views, but one thing's for certain: If you're listening, you're laughing.

he'-broo, he'-broo-es (`ibhri, feminine `ibhriyah; Hebraios): The earliest name for Abraham (Genesis 14:13) and his descendants (Joseph, Genesis 39:14, 17; Genesis 40:15; Genesis 41:12; Genesis 43:32; Israelites in Egypt, Exodus 1:15; Exodus 2:6, 11, 13; 3:18; in laws, Exodus 21:2 Deuteronomy 15:12; in history, 1 Samuel 4:6, 9; 1 Samuel 13:7, 19, etc.; later, Jeremiah 34:9, "Hebrewess," 34:14; Jonah 1:9; in the New Testament, Acts 6:1 2 Corinthians 11:22; Philippians 3:5). The etymology of the word is disputed. It may be derived from Eber (Genesis 10:21, 24, 25, etc.), or, as some think, from the verb `abhar, "to cross over" (people from across the Euphrates; compare Joshua 24:2). A connection is sought by some with the apri or epri of the Egyptian monuments, and again with the Habiri of the Tell el-Amarna Letters. In Acts 6:1, the "Hebrews" are contrasted with "Hellenists," or Greek-speaking Jews. By the "Hebrew" tongue in the New Testament (Hebraisti, John 5:2; John 19:13, 17, 20; John 20:16) is meant ARAMAIC (which see), but also in Revelation 9:11; Revelation 16:16, Hebrew proper.

Smith's Bible DictionaryHebrew
This word first occurs as given to Abram by the Canaanites, (Genesis 4:13) because he had crossed the Euphrates. The name is also derived from Eber, "beyond, on the other side," Abraham and his posterity being called Hebrews in order to express a distinction between the races east and west of the Euphrates. It may also be derived from Heber , one of the ancestors of Abraham. (Genesis 10:24) The term Israelite was used by the Jews of themselves among themselves; the term Hebrew was the name by which they were known to foreigners. The latter was accepted by the Jews in their external relations; and after the general substitution of the word Jew, it still found a place in that marked and special feature of national contradistinction, the language.
Easton's Bible DictionaryA name applied to the Israelites in Scripture only by one who is a foreigner (Genesis 39:14, 17; 41:12, etc.), or by the Israelites when they speak of themselves to foreigners (40:15; Exodus 1:19), or when spoken of an contrasted with other peoples (Genesis 43:32; Exodus 1:3, 7, 15; Deuteronomy 15:12). In the New Testament there is the same contrast between Hebrews and foreigners (Acts 6:1; Philippians 3:5).
(1.) The name is derived, according to some, from Eber (Genesis 10:24), the ancestor of Abraham. The Hebrews are "sons of Eber" (10:21).
(2.) Others trace the name of a Hebrew root-word signifying "to pass over," and hence regard it as meaning "the man who passed over," viz., the Euphrates; or to the Hebrew word meaning "the region" or "country beyond," viz., the land of Chaldea. This latter view is preferred. It is the more probable origin of the designation given to Abraham coming among the Canaanites as a man from beyond the Euphrates (Genesis 14:13).
(3.) A third derivation of the word has been suggested, viz., that it is from the Hebrew word 'abhar, "to pass over," whence 'ebher, in the sense of a "sojourner" or "passer through" as distinct from a "settler" in the land, and thus applies to the condition of Abraham (Hebrews 11:13).
Hebrew language
The language of the Hebrew nation, and that in which the Old Testament is written, with the exception of a few portions in Chaldee. In the Old Testament it is only spoken of as "Jewish" (2 Kings 18:26, 28; Isaiah 36:11, 13; 2 Chronicles 32:18). This name is first used by the Jews in times subsequent to the close of the Old Testament.
It is one of the class of languages called Semitic, because they were chiefly spoken among the descendants of Shem.
When Abraham entered Canaan it is obvious that he found the language of its inhabitants closely allied to his own. Isaiah (19:18) calls it "the language of Canaan." Whether this language, as seen in the earliest books of the Old Testament, was the very dialect which Abraham brought with him into Canaan, or whether it was the common tongue of the Canaanitish nations which he only adopted, is uncertain; probably the latter opinion is the correct one. For the thousand years between Moses and the Babylonian exile the Hebrew language underwent little or no modification. It preserves all through a remarkable uniformity of structure. From the first it appears in its full maturity of development. But through intercourse with Damascus, Assyria, and Babylon, from the time of David, and more particularly from the period of the Exile, it comes under the influence of the Aramaic idiom, and this is seen in the writings which date from this period. It was never spoken in its purity by the Jews after their return from Babylon. They now spoke Hebrew with a large admixture of Aramaic or Chaldee, which latterly became the predominant element in the national language.
The Hebrew of the Old Testament has only about six thousand words, all derived from about five hundred roots. Hence the same word has sometimes a great variety of meanings. So long as it was a living language, and for ages after, only the consonants of the words were written. This also has been a source of difficulty in interpreting certain words, for the meaning varies according to the vowels which may be supplied. The Hebrew is one of the oldest languages of which we have any knowledge. It is essentially identical with the Phoenician language. (see MOABITE STONE.) The Semitic languages, to which class the Hebrew and Phoenician belonged, were spoken over a very wide area: in Babylonia, Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine and Arabia, in all the countries from the Mediterranean to the borders of Assyria, and from the mountains of Armenia to the Indian Ocean. The rounded form of the letters, as seen in the Moabite stone, was probably that in which the ancient Hebrew was written down to the time of the Exile, when the present square or Chaldean form was adopted.

Repairs to fence panels and tidy garden.
Everything was done to our satisfaction.
We have used Express Handyman for a couple of years now, the care home that we own always seems to need something or other doing up or replacing. The workmen are always polite, clean and tidy, and make sure that our residents are never stressed by their manner of working
Our bathroom is beautiful now, nicest room in the house, thanks for your patience when we kept changing our minds about the tiles! – have attached the before and after photos as promised. See you in the summer for the decking
I had replacement guttering and soffits fitted to the side of my house and they were matched up perfectly with the existing ones at the back. The work was done while I was at work and there wasn't a bit of mess left behind.. They did the job much cheaper than a quote from a local builder, and I didn't have to wait for 3 weeks! Would highly recommend
A range of different jobs needed doing from updating and improvement to complete renovation. – Fantastic! My house looks absolutely brilliant! Any little jobs that needed doing but were not on the job specified were identified and completed immediately to ensure an excellent outcome.
I wanted a couple of flat packs assembled, two blinds, a mirror and a canvas hung, Gary from Express Handyman did all of these for me in a couple of hours, wiped all the sides down and hoovered, I normally dread the mess that workmen leave behind them, so I am delighted to send you a testimonial (with some piccies)
To Express Handyman Services, I am emailing you to say thanks for the excellent job you made to the rear fencing of my property in Croydon. I understand from my tenant that your worker was punctual, polite and professional, and also removed a lot of debris that no extra charge was made for. Rest assured I'll be asking for your services in the very near future for the interior work as we discussed. Very Best Regards
Refurbished the windows by replacing wood, filling and repainting. – Excellent service. Quick, professional and of high quality. Highly recommended.
Earth works and drain for pool pump. – He has done many and varied jobs for us, ranging from emergency plumbing to wood work. All very well finished.
Thanks for fitting in our jobs list during the evenings and weekends over the last couple of months, most other companies didnt really want to work like this, and if they did they wanted to charge double time! We appreciate this personal touch very much and wanted to let you know.
Redid the front path, repaired a wall, touched up external paint and miscellaneous small jobs internally. Barry did an excellent job. Very polite, timely and professional. Would heartily recommend him and his team.
Hi, just to let you know that we are really happy with the brilliant job you did helping us to get our home ready to go on the market. Thanks for answering all our questions and for supplying all those little extras (that I forgot to buy!) for free. Our friends also think you've done a lovely job and are definitely going to use you when the need arises, in fact you are going to Beryl at number 23 on the 15th because of our recommendation. Thanks again.

A sparkling production of "Mame" at North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly prompts a "We Need A Little Christmas" playlist.
The opening show of North Shore Music Theater's annual season has become a genuine event each spring around these parts, what with the theater's recent commitment to bringing top-notch talent -- often a leading lady -- to headline a Broadway classic to kick things off. This year is no exception, with Paige Davis plumbing the depths of the comic absurdity that abounds in "Mame," the 1966 musical by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee with music by Jerry Herman.
There's no shortage of highlights, but it's hard not to have a soft spot for one number that has taken on a life of its own outside the confines of this particular story: "We Need A Little Christmas," the rare holiday-themed song that's heartfelt without being sappy, suitably toe-tapping and, miraculously, not nauseatingly overplayed.
The cast at NSMT nails the number and has a ball (literally) with the Christmas decorations that they get to trot out, but frankly it's a song that can't lose. In fact, there have been several indispensable versions over the years, and I've narrowed it down to five you should definitely add to your next Christmas playlist. (You can also listen and watch them all above, or here, although doing so all in a row may drive you a little batty -- there's only so much little Christmas any of us can take in the middle of June.)
1) Angela Lansbury. Taken from the 1966 Broadway cast recording of "Mame," it's hard to beat the original version by the future Mrs. Potts herself. She could sure belt, and let's face it, she was much more endearing as Mame than as the sociopathic mother in "The Manchurian Candidate." (Although I actually wouldn't mind seeing a "Manchurian Candidate" musical, and the way things are going on Broadway, that's probably coming.)
P.S.: Not included here is the Lucille Ball version from the 1974 film because, and it pains me to say this, Lucy couldn't really sing. WAAAAAAAHHHH!
2) Sufjan Stevens. Just when you thought we didn't need an indie folk version of "We Need A Little Christmas" -- or of any of the other 57 (!) holiday tracks on Stevens' 2012 set "Silver & Gold" -- along comes this fine version. Luckily Stevens goes fairly traditional on this jaunty take -- the last thing we need is a mopey "Little Christmas."
3) Nancy Sinatra. Nancy takes things down a notch for this smooth lounge version, collected with other odds and sods on 2013's "Shifting Gears." It's perfect for a late-December night by the fireplace, drinking cosmopolitans while stretched out on your bearskin rug with Angela Lansbury. Wait, did I say that last part out loud?
4) Cher. It was 1975 on her eponymous television variety show when Cher, resplendent in a kelly green gown with fur trim and accompanied by an orchestra of Santas, paired "We Need A Little Christmas" with the first verse of "White Christmas" in that incomparable Cher-like way. All that was missing was Sonny as an elf.
5) The Muppets. Originally part of 1987's "A Muppet Family Christmas" -- one of the top 5 almost-forgotten Christmas specials, natch -- I don't think there's a better match of music and Muppets (and there's an awful lot to choose from). The Muppets may not have been a thing when Jerry Herman first wrote the music for "Mame," but Jim Henson would have had to invent them just to sing this song. (Frankly, it's impossible to listen to any version without hearing Kermit yelling "YAAAAAAAY!" at the end in your head. Unless maybe that's just me.)
Performances of "Mame" continue at North Shore Music Theatre through June 17 with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and with 2 p.m. matinees on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. For tickets and information call 978-232-7200, visit nsmt.org or visit the box office at 62 Dunham Road, Beverly.

Online book stores are coming up more in numbers, and are proving to be a viable alternative for traditional bookstores. These offer books at lower rates and the entire shopping experience is free of hassles for students. Students can order the books of their choice from their homes using an internet-enabled computer or any mobile device and get their orders delivered at their doorstep. You must not make the following mistakes while attempting to buy online textbooks.
Go the authentic way
Online bookstores need you to enter the ISBN number of the books that you wish to purchase. There are unique ISBN numbers for every book and the exact number will allow you to find the exact edition that you are in search of. While you can also search with the author name or book title, it is important to type the right spelling. With ISBN numbers, you can minimize the risks of typing wrongly. In some cases, webmasters of different online bookstores use a varied spelling style or can mistype the book title or author name themselves. Naturally, the ISBN number is a more foolproof way to search for books over online textbooks store.
Compare the prices
Make use of comparison sites in order to check the actual costs of the books. Although books are offered at lower costs at online stores than traditional bookstores, especially those at the university, the costs can vary even across web stores. You can type in the title name, author name or ISBN number and compare the prices of the books of your choice across different vendors. This will assist you in getting the lowest rates, and save 200 USD or even more on an average.
Purchase from safe sources
It is important to ensure that the sites that you are buying from are trustable. Go through user feedbacks and recommendations before you buy textbooks online from a specific store. This will allow you to ensure that you are buying from a store which has been checked and recommended by other consumers already. It is also a good idea to purchase early. When you begin your search earlier than other buyers, you can make sure that you get the books before the stocks get empty and the rates climb higher.
Buy in bulk
In case you are considering purchase of plenty of books, you can think of buying various other books along the ones that you want. The logic behind this is that the website might offer discounts to you for buying in more numbers. You can save on the shipping costs and also earn more rewards in case they are offered by the website.
Register with membership websites
Many of the bookstores online offer the chance for membership, and you can sign up with a few of them. Members of these stores can get better opportunities, either in the form of free shipping, discounts or rewards. You may also register for alerts sent through email and get information about whether there are fantastic deals on the books that you require.
Being an educationist herself, the author knows the importance of proper grooming of students from the initial levels. She knows how much a right text book can help them to achieve their dreams. Thus, in this article, she takes them through the different aspects of purchasing the right book and from the right place. To Know more click https://www.onlyschoolbooks.com/

Paht Thai Noodles
Nancie McDermott
Quick and Easy Thai: 70 Everyday Recipes
Published by Chronicle
If you love this dish as much as I do, you will be thrilled to see how easily you can make it in your home kitchen. Our daughter Isabelle has grown up calling paht Thai "pink noodles" since her favorite version at Indra Thai restaurant, in Glendale, California, includes just enough tomato paste to give it a delicious tinge of pink. The classic noodle-shop version calls for a daunting array of ingredients, from pickled white radish and garlic chives to tamarind liquid, dried shrimp, and crisp fried tofu. My family loves this simple and delicious homestyle paht Thai recipe we learned from Ms. Siriluk Williams, owner of Sukothai Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida-it's easy to make and hard to resist. Cooking noodles in a wok or a skillet takes a little practice, but once you have prepared a few plates of paht Thai, you will know just what to do and how to do it. For the rice noodles, or kwaytiow, the traditional choice is a slender, flat noodle resembling linguine, but almost any long noodle will work here.
Serves2 to 4
Cooking MethodStir-frying
Total Timeunder 1 hour
OccasionCasual Dinner Party
Recipe CourseMain Course
Dietary ConsiderationLactose-free
Taste and TextureNutty, Savory, Spiced
- ¼ pound dried rice noodles, linguine or fettucine width
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
- 8 to 10 medium shrimp (about 1/2 pound), peeled and deveined
- ¼ pound boneless chicken or pork, cut in bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon dried red chili flakes or chili powder
- About ¼ cup water or chicken broth, to prevent noodles from sticking
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3 green onions, coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 lime wedges
To prepare the dried rice noodles, bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil, add the noodles, and remove from heat. Let the noodles steep 5 minutes, and then drain and rinse well in cold water. Transfer the drained rice noodles to a medium bowl and place it by the stove, along with a serving platter, a pair of long-handled tongs or a spatula, and a slotted spoon for tossing the noodles. Have all the remaining ingredients ready and handy.
In a large, deep skillet or a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat until a bit of garlic sizzles at once. Add the garlic, toss well, and then add the shrimp and chicken. Cook about 2 minutes, tossing now and then, until shrimp and meat are cooked through.
Add the noodles and toss as they begin to soften, whiten, and curl in the hot pan. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and chili flakes and cook 1 to 2 minutes, tossing now and then. Add a splash or two of the water to prevent sticking.
When the noodles are tender, push them to one side and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the egg, and once it is almost set, scramble it and push it aside. Add the green onions and 1 cup of the bean sprouts and cook about 1 minute, tossing once or twice, until shiny and beginning to wilt.
Sprinkle the peanuts and lime juice over the noodles and then toss to mix everything well. Mound the noodles on a serving platter, arrange the remaining cup of bean sprouts and the lime wedges on the side, and serve hot.

End result.
Well, I just couldn't help myself… Doesn't this look incredible? I was inspired to create this dish last week when I was making my morning cup of green tea and sprinkling of turmeric and tarragon on my breakfast eggs. I thought, hmmm, 'This tastes pretty good'…
And the rest is history.
A quick peak in the fridge fora some lonely chicken breasts and a light bulb went off in my head.
So, let's start from the beginning.
I combined the chicken breasts with fresh green tea leaves with turmeric, tarragon and water in a pot over medium heat.
And let it simmer, covered for awhile, then reduce heat and keep it cookin' for a soft, tender chicken.
Still cookin'…
Then, drained the excess water and was left with a beautiful array of tender chicken and blossomed green tea leaves.
I served this chicken dish with Gluten-Free Girl's amazing Wild Rice Salad, which is one of my favorites. A perfect side dish to compliment some tasty chicken.
Don't ya think?
Poached Green Tea Tarragon Chicken
Serves 4
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup green tea leaves, dried
- 4 cups water
- 2 Tbsp. ground turmeric
- 2 tsp. tarragon
- Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
- In a medium sized pot, combine all ingredients over medium-heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Reduce to a simmer; cook for another 25 minutes or until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Drain liquid. Discard excess green tea leaves.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!
Cooking with tea is one of my favorite ways to create a unique taste to any dish from rice to tofu and chicken to stews…not only does this green tea create an incredible aroma and delicious taste, it's full of antioxidants.
So, put down that cup of tea and pour those leaves into your favorite dish.
It may just surprise you.
Have you ever cooked with tea?
