Country style ribs are a tasty summer favorite. Cut from near the shoulder of the pork loin, they are a delicious, tender, messy treat. If you want to cook some for yourself, here is what you'll need to do. To cook ribs for four people you will need two and a half pounds of country style pork ribs. For the seasoning you will want to have a tablespoon of garlic powder, a teaspoon of black pepper, fresh ground if possible, and two tablespoons of salt.
For the barbecue sauce you will need two cups of ketchup, two cups of tomato sauce, one and a quarter cups brown sugar, one and a quarter cups red wine vinegar, a half cup molasses, four teaspoons liquid smoke, two or three cloves of garlic, and two tablespoons butter. You can also add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to taste.
First you will place the ribs inside a pot large enough to contain them, with just enough water to submerge them entirely. You will then season the ribs with the garlic powder, the black pepper, and the salt. You will bring the water to a boil. While the water is heating up, you should preheat the oven to three hundred and twenty five degrees Fahrenheit (one hundred and sixty five degrees Celsius). You should also grab a nine by thirteen inch baking dish and line it with aluminum foil.
In a separate pot mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke, and butter. Mince the garlic cloves with a knife and cutting board and stir them into the sauce. Season the sauce with a quarter teaspoon to a teaspoon each of the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. When you have seasoned it to taste, reduce the heat to low. Stir it every few minutes. Leave the barbecue sauce on low for approximately twenty minutes. You can cook it for less time if you like thin sauce, or longer if you like it thick.
Once the ribs are tender, you will remove them from the boiling water and place them into the nine by thirteen inch baking dish. You will then pour one to two cups of the barbecue sauce on top of the ribs. Save the rest of the barbecue sauce for later. Cover the ribs with aluminum foil to keep the moisture inside, then place them inside the oven. Allow the ribs to bake for one to one and a half hours. Alternatively, you can use a meat thermometer and cook the ribs until they have reached one hundred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit (seventy degrees Celsius).
When they are finished remove the ribs from the oven, peal back the aluminum foil, and allow the ribs to sit for a few minutes before eating.

Q: Transparency in Background Picture I want to achive that I have a transparent background BUT with a picture !
So if got this in the XML file of my layout :
android:background="@drawable/wallpaperpic"

Now I want to transparent it so the background menu (f.ex. widgets or app menu) is seeable but also my drawable/wallpaperpic and the rest of my buttons etc are normal (100%).Hopefully I was able to express my self !
My Background : https://amazingpict.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/polygon-texture.jpg
I want to have this
WHERE you also can see my background picture a bit

A: Try to set the alpha property of the view, like:
yourView.serAlpha(10);

A: If, as I'm guessing now, you have two layouts, one within the other, where the parent layout has the background, you can do this in the child layout:
android:background="@null"

This way, you can see the background, and your elements are intact.

A: Option 1 is to convert your image to a PNG and add an alpha channel.
Option 2 (which I would recommend) is to have a separate view that acts as your background, and set the alpha property for this view only. You can use a FrameLayout to put this background view underneath your other controls.

A: In my opinion use TintableBackgroundView.
TintableBackgroundView.

A: If you launch your activity the normal way, the system will not render anything behind it (i.e. the launcher will be completely gone - it could even remove it from memory).
You'll need to implement your activity as an alert window. This answer has details on how to implement it.

Every so often there are moments when you know you are watching history unfold. Events come together that crystallize an important moment of change, and the opportunity to shape those moments has outsize resonance.
Last week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the Third International Financing for Development conference proved one such moment of landmark importance for development with its emphasis on each country's responsibilities to define, drive and invest in their own development path.
The resulting Addis Ababa Action Agenda is the right agenda for a world in transition – one where each country owns its own development – and to a new model for development predicated on partnership, results and accountability, local ownership, and harnessing innovation.
Since the first international conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey 13 years ago, we've seen the rate of extreme poverty around the world cut in half. Yet a billion people still live in extreme poverty, left behind from the incredible advances in life expectancy, access to education and technology, and good governance that has lifted so many.
To succeed with the ambitious new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we must focus increasingly on the poorest and most vulnerable, particularly those in fragile and conflict-affected states where the largest gaps remain in achieving the unfinished business of the Millennium Development Goals.
The United States continues to lead the world in official development assistance with nearly $33 billion in 2014 alone. But the most transformational moments occur when our resources are targeted and act as catalysts for much larger trends and pools of resources, like domestic revenues and private sector investment.
Nowhere is responding to these challenges more critical than in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite lowering the percentage of the population living in extreme poverty for the first time on record, the absolute number of people living in extreme poverty in Africa has yet to fall.
Before embarking on a trip to Kenya and Ethiopia this week, President Obama said Africa has the potential to become the next great center for economic growth on the planet. Indeed, seven of the 10 fastest-growing economies in the world are in sub-Saharan Africa. The commitment at Addis enables the type of partnerships these countries need to spur inclusive growth and end extreme poverty.
In Addis, we launched and built on several partnerships that represent the best of what U.S. leadership can do to help African nations to achieve. The Addis Tax Initiative will help developing countries better mobilize and effectively use their own resources to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
Donors, international organizations and developing countries—including Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Tanzania and Namibia—committed to a set of core principles for domestic resource mobilization, and the donor partners committed to double technical assistance for this purpose.
Domestic resource mobilization not only provides countries with a base of consistent domestic funds for development independent of donor nation budgets, but builds a virtuous cycle of accountability wherein the willingness of citizens to pay taxes is predicated on government service delivery and responsiveness.
We also doubled down on Power Africa through a partnership with the European Union, which adds $2.8 billion in resources to enhance Power Africa's work to expand reliable electricity generation across sub-Saharan Africa.
Like the Addis Tax Initiative, this is a commitment at the ground-floor of development; without sustainable energy sources to power economic growth and everyday life, country-led efforts to meet development objectives can't get far.
That's why Power Africa seeks to leverage private sector investment and multilateral and bilateral donor commitments, and builds partnerships with African governments committed to making the tough reforms needed to attract that investment to their energy sectors. These efforts will connect people to the grid and bring off-grid energy solutions to those living beyond the grid, providing energy that can fuel economic growth across the continent.
And because Africa's power sector will not advance without policy reforms and improved governance, our re-commitment in Addis also marks our guarantee to fill critical skills gaps and engage in diplomatic dialogues that drive reform so that the power sector we help build can be managed and maintained for generations to come.
There are many continuing challenges in sub-Saharan Africa, conflict and fragility chief among them. But with the U.S. and our partners working to put African countries in the driver's seat on their respective development paths, the promise and potential of the SDGs becomes, as in a rear view mirror, much closer than they appear.

Letter: Rise in concealed handgun licenses hasn't harmed public safety
By Letters to the editor
Regarding the recent articles by Rick Bella about conceal-carry licenses
("'Everybody and anybody'," Oct. 9; "Revised data for state conceal-carry licenses," Oct. 10):
I have been a prosecutor in four Oregon counties over the last 30 years, the last 20 as the elected district attorney in Clatsop County in Astoria.
In 1991, I was the chief deputy district attorney in Deschutes County in Bend, and I authored an opinion piece run by The Oregonian, in which I was highly critical of a deal made by the former House speaker, known as the "Katz compromise."
Up until then, the issuance of concealed firearm licenses varied wildly, depending on where someone applied. Multnomah County issued very few. The compromise appeased gun rights groups by making a CHL — concealed handgun license — a virtual right, so long as the applicant had no criminal record. Anti-gun activists got an extended 15-day waiting (or "cooling off" period), which has been replaced by an instant online background check.
I was very skeptical and was appalled by the prospect of thousands of drivers packing heat when few really needed to and the risk it would place police officers in dealing with newly armed people who had never received the kind of firearm training many of us in law enforcement receive.
I thought it would be a disaster. I was wrong. Based on my experience, crimes by CHL holders are very rare and are certainly less than in the general population.
Guns are still a very emotional issue for many, but CHL holders have not been a public safety problem.

Sept. 21: A 55-year-old man is near death after suffering years of torture at the hands of Chinese police, according to multiple reports from China.
A resident of Wuhan, Mr. Liu Yunchao (???) is being held at the Fanjiatai Prison in Shayang, Hubei Province. In July 2009, Liu was "sentenced" in a sham trial to three years in prison for practicing Falun Gong. After over a year of torture, twice in August 2010 — on August 8 and August 30 — Liu's family was notified that he was near death. Each time, they rushed to the prison to secure his access to a hospital and medical treatment. On both occasions, Liu was not allowed to go to the hospital.
According to family members, Liu was emaciated and unconscious.

Aug. 27: A middle-aged woman from Hebei province died in mid-August in police custody eight days after being abducted from her home for practicing Falun Gong, the Falun Dafa Information Center recently learned.
Ms. Yan Pingjun (???), a seamstress in her forties, died around August 10, 2010. She had been abducted from her home on August 2. Yan is one of many recent cases emerging from China of Falun Gong practitioners dying in custody within hours or days of being detained. Fifteen percent of the documented cases of Falun Gong deaths in 2009 involved practitioners who had died within two months of their latest detention.
Sept. 7: Chinese security agents in Hunan province beat a local businessman to death in late August within six days of taking him into custody for practicing Falun Gong, the Falun Dafa Information Center learned recently.
On August 19, 2010, agents of the Domestic Security Division in Hunan province's Shaodong county detained 57-year-old Mr. Zeng Huaguo (???), a local appliance salesman. Within six days of Zeng's detention—on August 25—he was dead, apparently beaten to death. Zeng's son was able to view his body and saw a large cut on his back that had been sutured with 13 stitches.
Sept. 13: A father of one in his mid-50's died in early August 2010, while serving a ten year "sentence" in a prison camp in northeast China, the Falun Dafa Information Center recently learned. According to sources inside China, Lu Manku (???) died from torture-related injuries while in custody at the Nanguanling Prison in Dalian City, Liaoning Province. Lu had been taken into custody in early 2008 while he was making leaflets exposing the human rights abuses suffered by Falun Gong practitioners in China. On May 26, 2008, Lu was "sentenced" in a sham trial to ten years in prison.
Lu's case was one of 863 that the Information Center publicized in December 2009 (news)—Lu was case no. 45 and one of 63 Falun Gong practitioners "sentenced" in late 2008, early 2009 to at least ten years in prison (list). His death highlights the danger facing the hundreds of thousands of other imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners in China.
Sept. 10: "Human Rights in China (HRIC) has learned from Beijing lawyer Wang Yajun (???) that he was barred by agents of the so-called '6-10 Office' in Siping, Jilin Province, from representing a Falun Gong practitioner. Wang's client, Du Lihua (???), … was tried on September 10 without a lawyer in his defense.
Wang said that on September 9, when he arrived in the Yitong Man Autonomous County Court, he was told by three men that, due to the 'special circumstances in Jilin,' there are clear rules stipulating that 'lawyers from outside may not represent this kind of case, meet with the accused, enter the court room to defend the client, or make photocopies of court documents.' Wang said that the men, including a Secretary Cui of the Party Committee of Political and Legal Affairs, who identified themselves as from the county 6-10 office, told him that if he 'dared go into the court, they would use forcible measures.' Wang said that when he demanded to see the rules to which the men referred, the men told him that the documents were secret, and refused to give him even the document numbers.

Rex Brown: Zakk Wylde Wouldn't Be Part of Potential Pantera Tribute Tour
Lauryn Schaffner Published: February 8, 2021
Ethan Miller, Getty Images / Kevin Winter, Getty Images
Rex Brown has entertained the notion of a Pantera "tribute" tour in the past, which would ideally see him share the stage with Philip Anselmo to celebrate the legacy of the band. However, he's shot down the idea of such tour featuring Zakk Wylde in place of Dimebag Darrell.
"It would be sold out stadium shows," Brown described to Eon Music of the potential tour. "Offers still come in for Philip and I to do it if we wanted to, but if you don't have the other guys in the band it's not going to sound the same. If we were ever to do something like that it would have to be spot on, or I wouldn't do it. It would be a tribute."
Wylde was close friends with Darrell, and he kept in touch with the late guitarist's girlfriend Rita Haney after his death. In early 2020, Haney voiced her support for a Pantera tribute tour that would see Wylde join Brown and Anselmo, but Brown is confident that that wouldn't be the lineup they would go for.
"It's going to come up, and it wouldn't be Zakk Wylde, I guarantee you that. I've just put it out there so we can get on past it," the bassist declared.
Brown and Anselmo would also have to recruit a drummer to fill in for the late Vinnie Paul if they were to pursue a tribute tour in honor of Pantera. Stone Sour drummer Roy Mayorga filled in for Paul on tour with Hellyeah in 2019.

Q: Streams java 8 Object and String in Map I got 3 classes.

*

*Angestellte (simply contains some stuff like names etc.)

*Department (only contains a String)

*and ttest (for testing obviously)

I want to put all the workers "Angestellte" into their Departments. So basically the output should be:
Personalabteilung: 4
Buchhaltung: 3
Fertigung: 3

I am trying to put the Map as Map with Department and Long
but ultimately I would like to have the Map with String and Long.
I also think my Collectors.counting() doesn't work that way I put it.
I don't really know how to address my Stream of Strings after I have already mapped it. Thats why I put three ? in the code.
import java.util.*;
import java.util.function.Supplier;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class ttest {

public static void main(String[] args){

    Department d1 = new Department("Personalabteilung");
    Department d2 = new Department("Buchhaltung");
    Department d3 = new Department("Fertigung");

    List<Angestellte> AlleAng = Arrays.asList(

            new Angestellte("Sandra","Bullock",d3,3450, "Female"),
            new Angestellte("Yutta","Knie",d1,2800, "Female"),
            new Angestellte("Ludwig","Herr",d3,3850, "Male"),
            new Angestellte("Peter","Pan",d2,1850, "Male"),
            new Angestellte("Nicky","Smith",d3,2100, "Female"),
            new Angestellte("Herbert","Rotwein",d2,2450, "Male"),
            new Angestellte("Sandra","Siech",d1,1100, "Female"),
            new Angestellte("Florian","Schwarzpeter",d2,2800, "Male"),
            new Angestellte("Herrietta","Glas",d1,2100, "Female"),
            new Angestellte("Brock","Builder",d1,6000, "Male"));

Map<Department, Long> DepAnz = AlleAng.stream()
            .map(a -> a.getDep())
            .collect(Collectors.toMap(a.getDep???, Collectors.counting()));

}
}

A: If you want to group by department and your getter is called getDep() You can do
Map<Department, Long> DepAnz = AlleAng.stream()
            .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(a -> a.getDep(), Collectors.counting()));

A: You need to use a group by:
Map<Department, Long> DepAnz =
    AlleAng.stream()
           .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Angestellte::getDep, Collectors.counting()));

The groupingBy(classifier, downstream) collector is a collector that collects the Stream element into a Map where the keys are returned by the classifier and the values are the result of applying the downstream collector to all Stream elements having an equal key. In this case, what we want is to count the values so we use Collectors.counting() as the downstream collector.
If you want to group by the the name of the department instead, you could have, assmuming the getter is called .getName() to retrieve the name:
Map<String, Long> DepAnz =
    AlleAng.stream()
           .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(a -> a.getDep().getName(), Collectors.counting()));

This will return a count of all the different name of departements.

A:  Map<String, Long> map = AlleAng.stream().collect(Collectors.toMap(a -> a.getDept().getName(), a -> 1L, (Long acc, Long newValue) -> acc + newValue));

This is such a verbose usage of lambdas to achieve what you need.
Use a toMap Collector in order to map a specific key and value based on the actual Angestellte references you have got.
Of course, the groupers functions are best suited, but this works as a generic example for map grouping by some criterion

CHIPS Articles: NMCI Update
NMCI Update
By Joseph Cipriano - July-September 2001
Connecting Technology (CT) Spring 2001, May 15-17, 2001 had the honor and pleasure to have Mr. Joseph Cipriano, PEO-IT as a guest speaker. The following is edited from Mr. Cipriano's presentation at CT.
I'd like to talk to you about the progress we've made with the Navy Marine Corps Intranet in the last year. The Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (DON CIO) likes to talk about re-purposing our networks as Navywide assets. Previously we treated networks as local assets — assets under the control of a command or a group of commands. The first thing we did was re-purpose that thinking a network is really a Navywide asset and how we should best use it should be determined by the Enterprise although it still must satisfy the needs of all the local users.
For a period of time, the Navy had been unable to access access information. We were prevented from doing things we knew we could do, and using applications that we had developed for a Web environment because we did not have the bandwidth to support them. Our first attempts at Web-enabling applications were not very successful; in large part this is still true today. Typically, this is due to bandwidth limitations and problems with routing information to support Web-enabled applications.
We had to eliminate this as a restriction because as we started to look at the business issues of what it costs to provide information technology (IT) to individuals, we found that the cost of bandwidth was about three to five percent of the total cost.

Billy Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when his lack of attention results in the death of an old gypsy lady on the street. Overweight Halleck is a lawyer with connections, though, and he gets off with a slap on the wrist. After the trial, the victim's ancient father curses him with a single word: "thinner". Shedding weight by the week, Halleck is desperate enough for one last gamble...one that will lead him to a nightmare showdown with the forces of evil melting his flesh away.

Needful Things
Narrated by: Stephen King
Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

Narrated by: Lindsay Crouse
Paul Sheldon is a best-selling novelist who has finally met his number-one fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she is more than a rabid reader - she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also furious that the author has killed off her favorite character in his latest book. Annie becomes his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Annie wants Paul to write a book that brings Misery back to life - just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on.

A dark and sweeping adventure, Dreamcatcher is set in the haunted city of Derry - the site of Stephen King's It and Insomnia. In it, four young boys stand together and do a brave, good thing, an act that changes them in ways that they hardly understand. A quarter-century later, as grown men who have gone their separate ways, these friends come together once a year to hunt in the woods of Maine.

Narrated by: Grover Gardner
Thad Beaumont would like to say he is innocent. He'd like to say he has nothing to do with the twisted imagination that produced his best-selling novels. He'd like to say he has nothing to do with the series of monstrous murders that keep coming closer to his home. But how can Thad deny the ultimate embodiment of evil that goes by the name he gave it - and signs its crimes with Thad's bloody fingerprints?
Highly Enjoyable!
Narrated by: Frank Muller
Peaceful suburbia on Poplar Street in Wentworth, Ohio, takes a turn for the ugly when four vans containing armed "regulators" terrorize the street's residents, cold-bloodedly killing anyone foolish enough to step outside their homes. Houses mysteriously transform into log cabins, and the street now ends in what looks like a child's hand-drawn Western landscape. Masterminding this sudden onslaught is the evil creature Tak, who has taken over the body of an autistic eight-year-old boy, Seth Garin.

Ben Mears has returned to Jerusalem's Lot in the hopes that living in an old mansion, long the subject of town lore, will help him cast out his own devils and provide inspiration for his new book. But when two young boys venture into the woods and only one comes out alive Mears begins to realize that there may be something sinister at work and that his hometown is under siege by forces of darkness far beyond his control.

Narrated by: Michael C. Hall
When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic, rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Yet despite Ludlow's tranquility, there's an undercurrent of danger that lingers...like the graveyard in the woods near the Creeds' home, where generations of children have buried their beloved pets.
Damn scary elevated by Hall's narration!

Stephen King's "gem of a story" (Chicago Tribune) about a child with extraordinary psychic powers who is on the run from the government. A number-one national best seller.
Andy McGee and Vicky Tomlinson participated in a drug experiment run by a veiled government agency known as The Shop. One year later, they marry. Two years later, their little girl, Charlie, sets her teddy bear on fire by simply staring at it.
Now that Charlie is eight, she doesn't start fires anymore. Her parents have taught her to control her pyrokinesis, the ability to set anything - toys, clothes, even people - aflame. But The Shop knows about and wants this pigtailed "ultimate weapon". Shop agents set out to hunt down Charlie and her father in a ruthless chase that traverses the streets of New York and the backwoods of Vermont.
"Terrifying and gripping" (The Miami Herald) Firestarter is chilling proof that "Stephen King is superb" (Time).

With a mind-boggling portfolio of 62 novels and more than 200 short stories (and counting!), Stephen King undeniably reigns supreme over literary horror. From Danny Torrance to the dreaded Pennywise, check out some of his most iconic characters with this comprehensive look. (But beware: there are spoilers ahead! So, much like when you press play on a Stephen King audiobook, you should proceed with caution.)
The Undoing Project
The Litigators
What listeners say about Firestarter
Wow just wow
Stephen King has an odd way of making you so involved and become the characters in his books. Once this book finally climaxed, I was excited, shocked, sad, and confused. Definitely a roller coaster and I highly recommend it.
Don't worry about the breaks in audio.
The performance is excellent and the editing is fine. The complaints from other reviews are of those who have become accustomed to the digital audio books of this century. This recording is from the days of cassettes with audio break markers between tracks so that cassette players can detect chapter breaks. The story is very well written and the performance is excellent. Enjoy and know that you aren't missing anything in the pauses.

Bad editing
Great book. Editing is horrible. Constantly cutting off words and makes you question if you're hearing the entire book. This happened on more than 2 dozen occasions.
Its a Gem !
What a great story.. I absolutely was not expecting this book to be this friggin GOOD !
I turned it on at 6:30 am on my way to the shop (wink wink) and listened for 14 hours straight.. I just wish it was longer. Seemed like there were no slow parts it just moves along at a good pace.. One of a kind.
Buy it !!!!!!
Tony Rican
Grest Story horrible production.
My issues aren't with the story itself. There abrupt stops that made me check and see if audible suddenly closed. Literally in the middle of words which makes me wonder if I missed some of the story.
Joe Hansen
Great story, choppy editing
Story was fine, twists and turns, character development, etc
However, audio editing had some abrupt transitions and some phrases with lost end bits. You don't lose any words but less polished.
Jeremy R. Latzkowski
good book. bad editing
cuts out in the middle of a word and long breaks between sections. otherwise great story. minor faults on production end...
Goodles Goodell
recording is... poor
book was awesome. one of my favorite. but the recording sucks. weird pauses that made it seem like I was getting a call. words missing because it cuts off early. I have downloaded multiple times and the same stops in the same places.
Poor Production
Any additional comments?
The end of sentences are clipped off abruptly. I had to stop listening about half way into the book. This happens only to SK books I purchase. The Long Walk, Firestarter and IT have this issue. SK and audible are not giving these these books away and the problem has been reported many times from customers. When will it be fixed?

Bowl Mania: Uniform Edition

Yeah, we didn't make it to a bowl this year for the first time in 6 seasons. Oh well that happens, but I do not expect Kentucky to ever play in the BCS bowls, but we will get back to a bowl before you know it and it will all be good. But until then, I get to watch the two best teams in the country battle it out tonight and I can live with that, but the question is can you?
No, I can live with the fact that I'm not going to bother watching the game. I watched the only bowl game that really matters every year and I'm satisfied with that. The Rose Bowl had these things called touchdowns that you guys in SEC country are unfamiliar with. You see, when a player has control of the football and crosses the goal line, it's called a touchdown and his team gets six points. Maybe you guys should try scoring them sometime.
Who the hell wants to see a game with no touchdowns anyway? For God's sake, this is football, not soccer!
Well since your obviously a hockey fan I thought you would be used to low scoring games. But seriously defense wins championships and that is why no other team outside the SEC has won the last 6 BCS title games (including tonight). We like smash mouth football and when the best defenses in the nation face off, then lower scoring games should be expect. However, I expect at least 20 points combined tonight.

Please just stop. None of this is even remotely relevant to the thread content. I love SEC football. Yes I enjoy and prefer it to any other conference. But please stop giving all of us normal, rational, and respectable southern folks a bad name. It's ridiculous and over the top. I hope my conference does well, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go out and throw on a Bama shirt and toot LSU's horn all night because they're SEC and in the championship game. I pull for and support MY team, not the entire conference. I prefer the brand of football the SEC offers and highly enjoy watching SEC teams over other conferences, but I don't go around shouting about SEC supremacy all day. You support Kentucky, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, the overall success of the SEC doesn't entitle fans of subpar teams to equal claims of success. The act of simply being a member of the SEC does not lead to automatic credibility.

I love the hats. Great Triple untandra(sp?).
1. DONE
2. D1 (Division One)
The shirts just looked like the helmet with a speed screen on it with "National Champions" under it. It was nice but kinda a letdown after all the other play on word designs this season.
Anybody know the reason they used #14 for the number on the helmet on the shirts?
Entendre.
They used 14 because that's the number of championships Bama has "won." I say "won" because they've really only won 13.
Duck_Duck 400
The tv said they won 9.
And that game lived up to all my wildest expectations. Puke.
"And the Allstate great hands play of the day goes to the . . . . field goal HOLDER." Wow, thank you SEC for four hours of my life I'll never get back. And thank you BCS for a system that determined absolutely nothing.
They claim 14, but then again, Bama claims a national championship for every little accomplishment so the number is ultimately meaningless.
Glenn52-14 21
We claim one every time a poll said we were the national champion. No different than Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, or any other school. ESPN said 9 because it was AP Poll and BCS championships since 1936. Personally, I'm glad they'll change the number on almost every helmet used on tv because I hate 13
Alabama uses a helmet that has the number if national titles they have won... If you noticed all week coverage of the game they were using a helmet that said 13...I thought it was cool they used a helmet with 14
Alabama official winning years are: 1) 1961, 2) 1964. 3) 1965, 4) 1973, 5) 1978, 6) 1979, 7) 1992, 8) 2010, 9) 2012. Now Alabama also claims other years as the national championship because they were named champion by polls such as BR, BS, CFRA, HAF, HS, NCF, PS, and others that are not recognized. These years are: 10) 1925, 11) 1926. 12) 1930, 13) 1934, and 14) 1941. So there are the reasons the organization claims they have 14 national titles under their belt. I hope this clears it up for you guys and gals.

Adidas Legacy or whatever the call it > Nike Pro Combat (with a few exceptions). this statement is totally true in the rose bowl. the game is the granddaddy of them all i dont need to see NPC 4.0 i want classic uni matchups
The Rose Bowl may tradition, but I am glad that Oregon is bringing a modern feel to this boring bowl game. I prefer the Fiesta or Orange bowl any day over the Rose Bowl.
Dumbest thing I have ever read on here.
The only reason I say that is because the Rose Bowl is between the Pac-12 and the Big 10 generally, which from tradition standpoint never features great teams because the SEC is not involved traditionally speaking.
Well, traditionally speaking, the SEC is not involved in the Fiesta Bowl or Orange Bowl, either.
Logic isn't his strong suit.
Are you trolling again? I never said teams had to be from the SEC, but I prefer watching SEC games, I just hate the Big 10 so much that is why I hate the Rose Bowl. Although this year was better because Oregon was there, but teams like USC and UCLA just does not do it for me. I loved the Fiesta Bowl because I really like Oklahoma State and the Orange Bowl because I like West Virginia. So, these may not traditional be SEC bowls, but this year they featured teams that I liked. But as far as this year goes no bowl is better than the National Championship game considering out of 120 teams in the FBS, none from outside of the SEC are in the championship game. So, TCU fans, Oregon fans, Texas fans, Oklahoma fans, USC fans, Notre Dame fans, and fans of everything other team you need to pay close attention to see what Southern football is all about. Go Tide! Go Tigers! Go SEC!
Not trolling at all. Actually doing the exact opposite. I was trying to explain to him that logic wasn't your strong suit, so we didn't waste two plus pages talking about your views on football that don't make any sense. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Good news is we seem to be back on track now.

Can Opera consider create a version for the BlackBerry Playbook tablet? The Browser imbedded cannot render HTML5. And the only current option for the Playbook is the Dolphin browser which has been cautioned against installing in some BlackBerry forums. Opera would be the best option. I would totally donate if this can be done.
@digital-islandboy But it needs a WORK--around (Direct URL) because the BlackBerry web browser on the tablet cannot even load Opera's (opera.com)website. It would probably need to be placed on BlackBerry App World in order to be downloaded to bypass the current out-of-date internal web browser.
@sgunhouse The BlackBerry Playbook is part of the BlackBerry QNX / BlackBerry 10 Operating System line. So it is pre- their switch to Android.
In this case I guess there is no meaning in developing for it.
@leocg BlackBerry still has built no new Tablets. It is their only tablet and the tablet actually works well just that the internet is HTML 5 now.
There's still no meaning in developing for it in my opinion.

We offers gingival curettage treatment for infected gum treatment. Gingival curettage is a treatment in which we removes the soft tissue lining of the periodontal pockets in order to completely eliminate bacterial colonies and the mechanical and chemical irritants that cause inflammation to the diseased tissue. It may be used along with scaling and root planning. The goal is that the gum will reattach itself to the tooth or will shrink enough to eliminate the pocket.
Oral Irrigation Treatment Procedure for swollen and bleeding gums we directs anti-microbial (anti-plaque) liquid below the gum line to flush out and kill germs to allow the regeneration of healthy tissue. This is a very useful and effective treatment for treating sensitive gums, swollen gums, bleeding gums and bad breath treatment.
Trauma to the teeth can be transmitted to the supporting structures, which get damaged. This can cause mobility of the teeth. Such mobile teeth may require splinting for a specified period of time till the supporting tissues heals and the tooth becomes stable. Splinting is a procedure where the teeth are supported in its position for a period of time. Splinting involves binding a group of teeth together so that the biting forces are shared by a large number of teeth instead of being born by the affected tooth. Hence we provide treatment for mobile and loose teeth and fix mobile teeth.


NYX is one of those companies where a large majority of my favorite or every day makeup comes from. And one thing that I really wanted to try was the Sweet Cheeks Blush palette granted I know a lot of these shades I will most likely not use for blush unless I'm doing it for a specific look. I got this a little while ago but never got around to actually using it until now. So I thought it would be a great idea to do a review/first impression of it.
The order of the swatches are bottom right to top left.
This blush palette costs $20, which isn't that expensive for a eight highly pigmented blushes that have 0.12 oz in each pan. So it's roughly $2.50 per shade. I find each of these shades to be very buttery and have no issue blending onto my skin. And my skin loves to be oily one day then dry the next then over sensitive the day after, and I never have issue with the palette. So it's goes with all skin types and with the wide variety of shades in the palette there is something for everyone.
The top row of blushes are your more peach tone shades, while the bottom row is more of your pink tones. And there are both matte and shimmery finishes depending on your preference. The only shade I know I absolutely cannot make work as a blush as it's just too dark for my porcelain skin tone is the second on the left in the bottom row. I would use this shade instead for an eyeshadow. My favorite blush out of this palette is the first shade in both the top and bottom row as they go the best with my skin tone. So I can see these shades be used the most out of the entire palette. Well the others don't get used on a daily basis. Which isn't a bad thing, as I'm thinking about using the entire palette for an avant garde look at some point during my 100 Days of Makeup over on Instagram.
But overall, I really recommend this palette to anyone!
What is your absolute favorite blush of all time?

The Eagle Review - Federal
Prior Cameron County Sheriff Candidate Petitions the US Supreme Court
By John D Ferrara - "The Hawk's Eye" on April 4, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )
On March 29, 2021, a 2020 Cameron County Sheriff hopeful, John Chambers, has submitted a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court to consider two Federal questions on his misdemeanor conviction(s) of fourteen (14) counts of Texas Penal Code 37.10, Tampering with Government Records
Initially, Chambers was found guilty of felonies, but his appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Thirteenth Judicial District of Texas (13th Court of Appeals) identified the "harm," burden needed to uphold a felony conviction did not exist.
The case has taken various steps leading up to the most recent legal action by Chambers. There are opinions provided from the 13th Court of Appeals which have raised questions by Chambers. Those questions have lead to the submission of the Writ of Certiorari.
The two questions raised are claims of potential overreaching authority of the State of Texas which may create a Constitutional Violation of the Tampering with Government Records law, as applied to Chambers.
That is the claim being made by Chambers to the US Supreme Court.
The US Supreme Court generated Case 20-1372 for the review:
The first question raised by Chambers, is as follows:
"The Court of Appeals' Analysis Goes Far Beyond a Fair Reading of the Tampering with Government Record Statue."
In summary, Chambers claims the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) had no legal reason to request records for Reserve Peace Officers. Specifically, Chambers believes TCOLE overstepped its legal authority when it required Chambers to present firearm proficiency scores for the Reserve Officers under his control when he was the Indian Lake Police Chief.
He claims, Reserve Officers are not bound by TCOLE oversight and he had no legal reason to create the firearms records for the Reserve Officers; as requested by TCOLE.
The petition goes into the argument of why Chambers believes the Reserve Officers appointed by the Town of Indian Lake are not under TCOLE jurisdiction; which creates a needless record requirement by TCOLE.
In the same petition, Chambers admits the Reserve Officers are certified by TCOLE, but contends that "employ," is different than "appoint."
The second question raised by Chambers is as follows:
"The Court of Appeals' Interpretation of the Section 37.10(f) Defense Impermissibly Shifts the Burden of Proof on the Defense Issue to the Defendant."
In this question, the concern raised has the same claims outlined above; however, it focus on the burden to prove by the prosecution. The question lays framework where the prosecution may be legally required to identify the purposes for the record and the need for the same.
Essentially, because Chambers raised the issue, the burden shifts from Chambers to the prosecution to argue against the defense raised by Chambers.
The point Chambers has made and continues to make is related to the terms "employ," and "appoint." He also has raised the difference between the Texas Occupational Code and the Local Government Code; as it relates to Reserve Officers. We have provided our opinion on this concern in the past.
The full brief submitted by Chambers can be read HERE. We will be interested in the decision of the US Supreme Court.

Climb up the step. Again, turn left. There you will be attacked by a ninja. Kill him. Turn right. You'll come back to the hall with the columns. There you have to kill another ninja. Run towards the pit. There you'll meet two more ninjas. One from the front and one from behind. Make a running jump to get over the pit again. Now climb into the gap in the left corner. Follow the passage behind. Use the key to open the door.
In the hall behind you'll encounter two more ninjas. Kill them. Turn left and collect the uzis as well a small medipack. Run through one of the doors into the next part of the hall. Collect the red shotgun ammo on a square in the middle. Now continue to the right. Climb over the stones at the opening on the left and collect the large medipack in the chamber behind. Climb back out. Now jump up and climb into the opening overhead. Run to the other door. Jump up, hold on to the ceiling and monkey climb along. Climb to the right. At the wall, position yourself above the lever. Let go and press action to use the lever. Get your guns out and shoot the ninja climbing towards you. Then drop to the ground and collect the flares. From that rock you can jump up and climb into the next opening. Run to the other side. In the opening jump up and hold on to the ceiling. Monkey climb to the left and towards the elevated platform. Climb further till you have a platform underneath you. Let go turn around and shoot the next ninja following you. He loses blue shotgun ammo. Run towards the wall and collect the uzi ammo on the left. Then run to the right and climb up. Run towards the pillar and jump around it.
There you'll see a huge boulder on a column. Shoot at it. It will then drop down and open up the floor. Climb down. Drop into the hole in the floor. Crawl into the passage ahead and collect the uzi ammo. Now follow the other passage. (On the left, you'll come to a room with a strange mechanism with a chain. There are three beams in the chambers ahead to the right and to the left; they have a pointed end on one side. This is the side that has to be pointed at the pyramid. Leave it alone for now.) Follow the passage ahead. Turn left and climb up the ladder.
There you'll find a wheel. This will turn the beam in the chamber underneath. Turn it clockwise once. Now run to the next chamber. You have to turn the wheel there twice into any direction. Now run to the next chamber. (Keep in mind you're now facing the other direction so don't head back to the entrance.) Turn the wheel there anticlockwise. Now head back to the entrance and climb back down. Now enter the chamber on the right. Pull the chain. (This will activate the mechanism and the pyramid will release an artefact.) Climb onto the pillar and collect the Sun Disk. Climb down and into the hole in front of the middle beam. Follow the passage.


The ex-gay think tank NARTH (National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality) reacted Monday to news of a California bill that would prohibit antigay therapist professionals from mistreating underage youths, and that would require all adult ex-gay clients of such professionals to sign an informed consent form — a form that NARTH and ex-gay "ministry" network Exodus International have opposed for decades.
NARTH said the California bill would "threaten the right of individuals with unwanted homosexual attractions to receive therapy." NARTH has long made this contention that patients have a "right" to demand that medical professionals mistreat them. This is akin to a hypochondriac patient demanding the anticancer quack therapy laetrile (cyanide), or perhaps more appropriately, a Christian doctor insisting that she has a "right" to prescribe asbestos and nicotine to treat "unwanted Judaism and Islam" in her patients.
The California legislation IS about medical malpractice, and it IS about liberties — specifically, the right to be informed and the freedom of religious and sexual minorities not to be defamed and abused by NARTH's antigay and largely fundamentalist member therapists. As Truth Wins Out and others have documented, NARTH leaders have supported bullying, justified slavery, and abused legitimate researchers' work.
NARTH seeks freedom from professional accountability, not religious freedom.

On Abortion and False Piety
On November 16, 2022 by Jonathan Zdziarski
The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband"— here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—"may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries. Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."
Documented use of an Abortifacient, Numbers 5:16-22
In May 2022, white evangelical Christians woke up to some rather unexpected news. A draft opinion had somehow leaked out of the Supreme Court, suggesting that Roe v. Wade would soon be overturned. Shortly after, it was. I single out white evangelicals here because, according to a recent Pew Research study, they are twice as likely to want to see abortion outlawed than other Americans (including other Christians). It would be an error though to conclude this means white evangelicals are the most pro-life. No no no, this is not the case at all. White evangelicals are no more pro-life than other religious groups, Christian or otherwise – they are, however, the most autocratic. Yet those who would use the Bible to institute government sponsored morality seem to have forgotten where the bodies are buried: also in their Bible.
The concept of abortion is nothing new. The practice of inducing an abortion as punishment for unfaithful women was once conducted as part of priestly duties in pre-Christian Judaism. A woman suspected of adultery, yet maintaining her innocence would be partially stripped, treated as an animal (right down to the presentation of an animal's meal offering), and made to drink a type of holy water concoction; it was believed an unfaithful woman would abort her lover's fetus and die within up to three years were she guilty (Mishnah Sotah 3). Holy water has a long tradition of being used to cleanse and purify, and so the implication was that the illegitimate fetus was evil, and therefore must be purged from the woman. Behind the scenes, this seemed to have more to do with the financial aspects of marriage contracts and intimidation than it did holiness, and the practice was eventually ended prior to the destruction of the second temple. Today's American evangelicals take the opposing viewpoint of their ancestors – namely, against all forms of abortion – yet still firmly hold onto the practice of controlling women in much the same way. Yet while many other Christians value life just as much as autocratic evangelicals, we differ greatly from them particularly on a solution to the number of unwanted pregnancies in the country. Evangelicals largely believe outlawing abortion and state control of a woman's uterus is the only solution, while most others believe it is an ineffective and dangerous solution – perhaps just as dangerous as the ancient practice that once caused them (or at least was perceived to; the practice's effectiveness was highly questionable among rabbis).
Forced morality is likewise nothing new either. In the book of Chronicles, King Josiah breaks down the altars of false gods, tears down carved images, and rids Judah and Jerusalem of the ungodliness of the time. When his priest finds the Book of the Law, Josiah tears his robe and imposes moral rule according to the laws of the book. The chronicler Ezra writes, "Josiah removed all the detestable idols from all the territory belonging to the Israelites, and he had all who were present in Israel serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived, they did not fail to follow the Lord, the God of their ancestors." An often overlooked detail in this story is that in spite of a society living under (and clearly practicing!) moral law, God tells Josiah that he will take his life early so that he will not see the disaster God plans to bring about. A useful object lesson can be found here: perceived morality counts for little when it is compelled. At the center of today's controversy is not really Christian doctrine at all (there is no Christian doctrine concerning abortion), or even morality, but rather the same desire for power; today, that translates to the church's desire for socio-economic power.
Evangelical beliefs about economic power can be walked back to the early Protestant Ethic, brought over to America from the Puritans. The Protestant Ethic is the notion that hard work and financial prosperity are a sign of God's election, where election refers to evidence of favor from God; a sign of salvation. In other words, the more prosperous you are, the better your standing must be with God. It is the foundation of our capitalist history. To the chagrin of many a Christian, Jesus rejected the predominant system of power by means of financial status, and put to shame the use of wealth and social status in the community as a means of privilege and power over others. The misguided principle of the Protestant Ethic is however still preached broadly in many fundamentalist churches, not surprisingly by church leaders of elevated status who find such theology a strangely perverse source of self-legitimization. In its most extreme form, it is preached often in economically depressed areas, where the preacher's remedy to poverty is for the poor to give even more to the church. This prosperity gospel, often used to manipulate the poor, further bolsters the status of church leaders by amplifying their own wealth – making them appear in higher stature with God. Throughout this hustle, the poor become poorer, and rarely ever come to understand their role models are prospering only by means of their own exploitation.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, three-fourths of women who have an abortion in the United States live near or below the poverty line. The Protestant Ethic engrained in many has conditioned American evangelicals to historically position against public services such as welfare, free prenatal and perinatal care, universal child care, and paid maternity or family leave. These same services that many American Christians have fought against for decades have turned out to be the very things that other civilized countries – notably Switzerland and many Nordic countries – have done to bring their abortion rates and infant mortality rates dramatically lower. Many Christians ironically see charity as a threat to their very own status with God. Without thinking about it, the protestant ethic has engrained such socio-economic prejudices that are entirely contrary to the Christian teaching. Their world view was biased through the capitalist Christian experience against social justice and welfare. This, despite a connection the old and new testaments both make in fighting for these things as a byproduct of righteousness. One only needs to look as far as the first few chapters of Isaiah to get this.
One common defense against such government programs is the argument that scripture makes these a moral imperative, yet countless research studies suggest this belief isn't backed up by their wallets. A USCCB study on national church giving concluded that only a third of churchgoers give more than $500 annually, with one third giving less than $100. Another study from Barna found that less than 3% of churchgoers tithe. The average churchgoer gives just $17, according to a Health Research Funding study. Of that, other studies estimate at least a third of that money goes to faith and religious services. If you ever look at a church budget, most giving ends up paying for facilities, operating costs, and salaries, followed by foreign missions. Sociologist of religion Robert Wuthnow estimates less than 5% of all giving ever reaches local service activities. While there are many different studies and conclusions, they're all filled with the same awful news: the moral imperative is bankrupt. At the very least, any services being provided by the church today are woefully insufficient to meet the needs of the country. Without services seeing adequate funding from the church, the worldview of evangelicals has left the communities they operate in without resources. In resisting federal funding, Christians look to outlawing abortion as the solution to a problem the church helped create, and could have solved if the church had done its job in the first place – both financially and spiritually. Now that Roe has been overturned, experts predicted what we are already seeing: a patchwork of states with different abortion laws, leaving the economically depressed too poor both before and after pregnancy, and more likely to seek medically dangerous alternatives. This crisis will be the reckoning we face as a result of past inaction of the church to fulfill these self-proclaimed moral imperatives.
As a Christian, I am worried about both the mothers and the children involved. I am worried about the mother's emotional well-being, and her safety. I am grieved that there will continue to be unwanted children, many of whom might be wanted had the parents been given a little bit of financial help. I also think of the deep socio-economic issues that, for many, compress an already bad situation into a worse one. Desperation is a dangerous place to be, and this will undoubtedly push many more into harmful medical decisions. Rather than help, the church has historically left the poor at the disposal of naïve short-sighted Christian politicians, many who seem incapable of thinking through the consequences of their actions. Christians too often treat the poor like garbage, when we should be washing their feet. It has proven itself out, as we read of frequent horror stories in red states where mothers are forced to carry stillborn children to term, and raped children are themselves forced to have their attacker's child as a result of trigger laws and recent legislation. Is this the Christian utopia you envisioned?
Instituting a theocracy where moral beliefs are codified into law will undoubtedly backfire in a country that used to hang Catholics and burn witches. Even among modern day evangelicals, there is little consensus on key doctrine. Robert K. Johnston, professor of theology and culture at Fuller Seminary, wrote of the deeper intrinsic problem of evangelical theology, "That evangelicals, all claiming a Biblical norm, are reaching contradictory theological formulations on many of the major issues they are addressing suggests the problematic nature of their present understanding of theological interpretation. To argue that the Bible is authoritative, but to be unable to come to anything like agreement on what it says (even with those who share an evangelical commitment), is self-defeating." Doctrine has largely been replaced with opinion in the church, and with a growing lack of sound understanding. A theocracy will undoubtedly become oppressive and disagreeable even to evangelicals. Christians have historically been bent toward Christian dominion on Earth, in spite of the fact that "our citizenship is in heaven" and "we are not of this world". Yet we continue to mistakenly attempt to establish a kingdom in a land that should feel foreign to us. The clearly broken eschatological views of evangelical Christianity have debased many Christians' worldviews, somehow normalizing the horrors we are already beginning to see happen as a result of the ruling.
The appropriate Christian response to the abortion matter should be to approach it with compassion and love rather than recklessly compelling morality, especially with the lack of foresight. We know how to make things better, because we've watched other countries do it – dramatically reducing their abortion rates, as well as infant deaths. Those who proclaim to be pro-life should be interested in solutions that work, rather than those that give the appearance of piety. It should be the desire of any Christian to want to help make better parents and set families up to succeed. Without the public services in place for what is coming, we face a different kind of moral crisis on the horizon. Meanwhile, the same people who push society over this cliff will continue to look at their own bank accounts and feel blessed, genuinely believing they are doing God's work and hesitant to want to share any of their "blessing".
Contrary to the Protestant Ethic, God favors the poor. The book of Proverbs says that those who give to the poor also lend to the Lord. I wonder what the Lord thinks of those who continue to oppress the poor and push them into impossible and never-ending cycles of poverty. Pushing women into horrifying medical situations to impose moral law is not Christian, it is downright monstrous. This isn't the moment Christians have been waiting for. This is the moment that underscores the moral failings of the church.

Spanish tapas and sangria in Turkey? Perhaps not the most authentic of meal choices whilst staying along the Bodrum coast, but after a local chef ventured to the very heart of Spains lifestyle and culture to study its cuisine – the idea of opening the first Spanish restaurant in the coastal old town began to form. The owner of La Pasión, Nejmettin Kılıç or Neco, is the culinary expert who is the first to offer an authentic Spanish experience that complements the fresh seafood and flavours Turkey's coast has to offer.
The red peppers have been charred to lose their skin to become delicately soft. Stuffed with light and tasty crabmeat that has a subtle spicy flavouring from the garlic oil makes it delicious, or as Josh liked to describe it as a "gentle spa on your lips".
A surprising twist on your conventional patatas bravas. Large chunks of fluffy yet crispy rectangle potatoes are layered on top of each other, topped with slithers of spiced tomato sauce and dollops of aioli. A simple must to accompany your tapas course.
Although I wasn't able to eat these (not GF), Josh said the filo dough helped soften the large prawns and created a crunchy sweet texture, which teamed with a tangy and spicy sauce created a robust flavour sensation. Josh's only complaint was that he wanted more!
A generous portion of meaty, plump scallops complemented by a light grain from the mushy peas, which adds a running texture to the dish. The sweetness from the pineapple and saltiness of the scallops make for a unique and enticing flavour combination.
Although Josh was upset that there was no wild berry brownie left, we opted for the coconut and ice cream. We had wondered why it wasn't just called coconut ice cream, but after it arrived we understood why. It was filled to the brim with fresh coconut flakes and a lovely vanilla ice cream topped with dark chocolate shavings – can all coconuts come like this?
Bringing the Spanish flair of traditional tapas flavours and pairing them with Turkey's fresh seafood creates subtle stylistic and taste differences that are all by Neco. His unique passion for sangria and flamenco flowing traditions mixes well on the far east side of Europe. Wedged down a tightly knit alleyway amongst the cobbled streets of the old town, La Pasión could easily be missed if you weren't paying attention. Although if you do get a little lost, like we did, then follow the sound of a Spanish guitar and the smell of shellfish paella – it will lead you to a treat!
