Federer sets another major record at French Open

PARIS (AP) ? For Roger Federer, setting records on the tennis court is getting to be a pretty ho-hum endeavor.

The perks that come with them, like dining with Queen Elizabeth II, are the things to really remember.

"Yes, I have had lunch next to the Queen ? with the Queen, basically," Federer said. "Big honor, obviously ... Thank God, she came."

Federer beat Adrian Ungur of Romania 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3 Tuesday in the second round of the French Open. With the win, the 16-time Grand Slam champion broke a record he shared with Jimmy Connors for most career victories at major tournaments in the Open era, which began in 1968. He is now 234-35 in tennis' top four tournaments, an .870 winning percentage.

But he was less than his dominant self, wasting two match points in the third set before losing the tiebreaker.

"Instead of being aggressive, I let him show me what he could do," Federer said. "He played two beautiful shots, and then I started not playing very well."

Novak Djokovic also advanced to the third round, as did top-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland. Radwanska defeated Venus Williams 6-2, 6-3, eliminating the seven-time Grand Slam champion one day after Serena Williams lost in the first round.

On Thursday, defending champion Rafael Nadal will get back on court in his quest for a record seventh French Open title. No. 2 Maria Sharapova and No. 4 Petra Kvitova are also scheduled to play.

Against Ungur, Federer had an easy run in the first two sets but then lost his touch for a while in the third.

"I have been around for so long that, even though I expect myself to win, I can still manage to do that," Federer said. "Whereas in the beginning, when you think you're good but you're maybe not that good yet, you get many more surprise losses."

Federer has a 33-4 win-loss record this season with four titles, but he hasn't won a Grand Slam title since the 2010 Australian Open. To get back into the French Open final for the sixth time, he may have to face Djokovic in the semifinals.

Last year, Federer defeated Djokovic at that stage, ending the Serb's 43-match winning streak. And if they meet at Roland Garros again this year, Djokovic will have another streak on the line.

The top-ranked Djokovic, who beat Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia 6-0, 6-4, 6-4 Tuesday, has won 23 straight Grand Slam matches and needs five more to win his fourth straight major title.

"Everything is working great," Djokovic said. "You know, I'm feeling better and better every match."

For Venus Williams, things aren't going as smoothly. Although she has never won the French Open, the 31-year-old American has always been considered a contender at every Grand Slam tournament.

That all changed last year.

Williams withdrew before her second-round match at the 2011 U.S. Open, revealing that she had been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, a condition that can cause fatigue and joint pain.

She needed three sets to win in the first round Sunday, and never really looked like challenging Radwanska this time.

"When I lose a match, I don't really like to get into ... any of those other things," Williams said when asked about her health situation. "It's just important to give credit to the people who won. And I didn't win."

PST: Liverpool gambles with its new manager

BBC is reporting Liverpool?s search for a manager is over. Now there?s only one big club in England without a permanent coach.

That?s because Swansea City?s Brendan Rodgers is set to take the helm at Anfield. He?ll get a three year deal. Swans will get $6-$7 million in compensation and the task of finding a new coach.

Seems Roberto Mart?nez would be a good fit, but would the booing stop at the Liberty Stadium should their prodigal son return? We?ll likely never know.

There was a number of reasons Mart?nez was a bad choice for Liverpool, all of which apply to Rodgers. Where Liverpool?s biggest concern is getting back into UEFA Champions League, Rodgers has no experience.?He?s proven he can win at lower levels. He?s proven he can keep a team up. Neither of those skills are pertinent to success at Anfield.

More on Rodgers: A brief history of Liverpool?s new boss

But this line of thought begs a question: What if a manager at a lower-table club had no experience competing for Europe yet was truly ? in an absolute, cosmic, indefatigable?way ? capable of success at Liverpool. How would we know?

We wouldn?t. That?s the unfair, double-edged sword that?s dividing this conversation. Rodgers hasn?t shown the skills to run Liverpool, the main reason being he hasn?t had the chance. Thus, any hire like this is going to be a leap of faith. The bosses with Fenway Sports Group must feel they have a view into Rodgers? cosmic truth, because they?re set to push on.

There was a time when Liverpool didn?t have to make hires like this. They were capable of luring La Liga-winner bosses from Spain. They were capable of bringing in managers who took small West London clubs to within 90 minutes of a European title. Now, they?re hiring from below, even after an eighth place finish.

I still think Liverpool?s capable of hunting bigger game. Even the biggest cynic of Anfield?s lore would concede Liverpool?s managerial post is one of the 10-20 most prestigious in the world (excuse the large range). Is Brendan Rodgers one of the 10-20 best managers in the world? If he is, we have no proof.

Ideally, the Rodgers and Mart?nez?s of the world would have a spell at an Aston Villa-esque club ? a place where you can build a team that could compete on the fringes of Europe and give people reason to think ?if he can do it there ??

In fairness, that?s the same logic that led Roy Hodgson to Anfield, and we all know how that turned out.

There were other options, though they?re mostly names I?m pulling out of a hat. Luciano Spalletti?s done as much as he can in Russia. Manuel Pellegrini?s now linked with Roma; he seems willing to move from Malaga. Then there?s former boss Luis Enrique, or other Roma-linkee Andr? Villas-Boas (who Liverpool interviewed). Dick Advocaat?s done will with Russia, Slaven Bilic?s in his last tournament with Croatia. Rudi Garcia?s seen his Lille team gutted, and who knows. If Liverpool was as persistent with Ajax?s Frank de Boar as they were with Rodgers, he may have come available.

All of these men have a pedigree that?s more consistent with the Anfield job than Rodgers?. But who knows. Maybe Rodgers?s interview gave FSG a glimpse into his cosmic awesomeness. Maybe there?s something specific to where FSG?s taking Liverpool that may preclude bringing in a man whose ideas are too firmly entrenched.

Or maybe, as we saw with de Boar and (originally) Rodgers, Liverpool just isn?t that glamourous a destination anymore? Unfortunately, that seems to be the message.

Incredible Hulk Anatomy

Like millions of other superhero comic fans, I loved Joss Whedon?s & Marvel?s The Avengers when I saw it (in 2D) opening weekend. Motion-captured Mark Ruffalo turned in the most incredible version of the Hulk we?ve seen yet on the screen. ?Squeeing and cheering, it reminded me of a drawing I had made back ?in 2002. ?I drew this fan art of Marvel Comics?

I included details such as 3 scars on the bone (I?m Canadian: Wolverine wrecked his face a few times and I wanted to document that) and perfect glowing teeth.

4 killed, 2 wounded in Seattle shootings

http://spdblotter.seattle.gov

A picture taken by a surveillance camera shows the suspect in Wednesday's Seattle cafe shooting, according to police.

By Msnbc.com's Jeff Black and Isolde Raftery

Updated 7:45 ET: SEATTLE -- At least four people were killed and two others wounded in two shootings minutes apart Wednesday, police said -- bringing the number of homicides in Seattle this year to nearly as many as in all of 2011.

Police said the man suspected of the shootings -- at a north Seattle cafe and in a downtown parking lot -- has died of a self-inflicted gunshot.

The man, who fit the suspect's description, knelt down in the middle of the road and shot himself upon seeing a uniformed officer approach, Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said.

It was unclear throughout the day whether the two shootings were connected but Pugel confirmed that they were during a news conference on Wednesday afternoon. He said the similar caliber of the bullets have led police to that conclusion.

Police confirmed that two male victims were dead at the scene of a shooting at a north Seattle cafe at about 11 a.m. Two more men and a woman were taken to the hospital in critical condition. The woman died at the hospital, NBC station KING5-TV reported.

The shooting occurred at the Caf??Racer, a restaurant and music venue in a commercial district near the sprawling University of Washington campus. Roosevelt High School, four blocks from the incident, was on lock down as police looked for a suspect.

About a half hour later, some five miles to the south, a woman was shot several times during what police initially said was a possible carjacking at a parking lot next to Town Hall Seattle, a community cultural center in downtown Seattle.?Police found the vehicle, a black Mercedes SUV, and a handgun miles away in a West Seattle residential neighborhood.

Even before the shootings on Wednesday,?Seattle was dealing with an outbreak of violence that has stumped police officials, who have blamed it on gangs and weapons.

Two men were killed and three more people were seriously wounded in a shooting at a Seattle cafe by a gunman who fled the scene on foot. KING's Linda Brill reports.

At a City Council meeting on Tuesday, police put the number of homicides in the city at 15, compared to 21 homicides for all of 2011, according?to a report in The Seattle Times.?

Last Thursday, Justin Ferrari, a 43-year-old software engineer, was gunned down while running errands with his children in the Central Area. No arrests have been made in that investigation. And over the holiday weekend, four-drive by shootings, one that left a bystander wounded, were attributed to gang activity.

Read more on the KING5 website

Police have not identified the suspects in either incident on Wednesday, though a picture of the suspected shooter at the cafe was released late in the day. ?He was last seen running away and remains at large.?The suspect is described by police as?a white male, about 30 years old, wearing a dark short cap and a light blue jacket with well-groomed dark hair and a neat full beard.

Ted S. Warren / AP

A Seattle police officer stands outside a cafe where gunman opened fire on Wednesday.

One law enforcement source told KING5 that the shooting could be an act of domestic violence.

Evan Hill, who lives above the building where the cafe shooting happened, said the cafe was an artists' collective and performance space.?

"It's the strangest place to think of a shooting," Hill, who heard four to five shots, told The Associated Press. He said he ran to his balcony and called 911, but didn't see a suspect.

At the Trading Musician store next door, store manager John Herman said they didn?t hear any sounds until police converged on the scene.

?Our first customer of the day had just come from Caf? Racer, and he thought he walked out right as the person walked in,? Herman told msnbc.com. ?He thought he saw the (shooter) but other witnesses say that he may have actually seen a victim.?

Trading Musician employees hang out at Caf? Racer, Herman said, and the store holds its holiday parties there. Herman said other Caf? Racer employees had arrived and were standing across the street. The owner had also arrived and had been escorted by police to the crime scene, he said.

The Emerald City, generally considered a safe place to live, had 19 murders already this year. Last year there were 20. NBC's Mike Taibbi reports.

?They seem very upset, but I don?t know if it?s about the fact that it happened, or because they lost somebody,? he said. He said the Trading Musician was effectively closed, but that employees hadn?t left.

?We?re just waiting to find out what has happened to our extended family,? Herman said.?

The suspect in the parking lot shooting is also on the loose and is considered armed and dangerous, according to police. He was described as a white male, about 35 years old, blonde haired with a crew cut.?

Live video from a KIRO television helicopter showed heavily armed officers following a police dog through a residential neighborhood.?

Ibrahim Frishak, who was power-washing a sidewalk across the street from where the carjacking occurred, said he heard gunshots and saw a car peeling away,?The Stranger, an alternative weekly newspaper, reported.?

"I just got back a week ago from Libya on vacation to visit relatives," Frishak told the paper. Everyone over there carries guns, he said, adding, "Now I think Libya is safer than Seattle."

At an afternoon news briefing, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said he told police that their "highest priority is to find the shooters and bring them to justice." He also asked political leaders to look into gun laws and the culture of violence to see what can be done to keep weapons out of the hand of offenders.

Student Loans with For-Profit Colleges, A Huge Part of the Dilemma ...

Do your research. Be reasonably comfortable that the university you select along with the degree you acquire will allow to meet your ultimate goal of financial safety.

VA Loans are a federal government lending program made for Armed Force?s people both energetic and reservist. What?s needed have altered dramatically before few years. Before, ?credit scores weren?t required for Virtual assistant Loans,? says Mansisidor, ?manual underwriting seemed to be applied to the actual payday loans online same day no credit check procedure.

Getting a short-term loan is among the easiest ways involving acquiring income. When your funds takes a change for the toughest or when you?ve got a sudden personal emergency, this sort of loan could be the proper option for you actually. You can easily understand type of loan through money financial institutions, banks, payday advance loan companies and the like. One good thing using this type of loan is that, it is application process can be fast depending on the lending institution. Whether or not or not you could have a bad credit score, you are able to sill qualify for a short-term loan.

Financed loans for felons have got interest rates associated with 6 percent. Non subsidized loans currently have interest rates of 8 percent and contains to be compensated while you show up at your training.

Knowing what can be afforded is simply a matter of spending budget accurately. Subsequently, the right approach can be designed. For example, it may be possible to obtain approval with regard to unsecured personal payday loans online same day cash of $10,500 and then $15,Thousand concurrently. Because of this, the first loan enables you to clear many existing debt, and when it is repaid, your second loan can be used to finish the job.

Anything that you think you know about the lending industry is probably not going to be useful when discussing personal loans if you have bad credit. The rules of the loans, also called advance loan loans, are in contrast to many of the preferred lending techniques that you know. As a result different strategy, getting a private loan with bad credit can be a whole new ball game.

Multiple applications- Intended for a private loan an application will have to be registered separately for each academic 12 months. However, this is also true with govt loans.

These types of lenders are also infamous for being extremely expensive in terms of loan rates etc. And in many cases when you get a quote, it?s never for an total that you can manage. In addition to fast payday loans, the actual quote is generally saddled operating sorts of complex and difficult terms. Which quite frankly will not be worth the cost they are prepared to lend to start with.

When we uncover ourselves in a limited financial position, it?s not necessarily unusual to miss loans repayments or perhaps default absolutely. When that occurs our credit status takes a nose dive, generating the idea of getting a $5,000 personalized loan little more wonderland, but it is certainly not actually an impossibility by any means.

The loan quantities range from Five-hundred to 20000 and as stated earlier, this is all devoid of going through a credit examine. The great thing about V5 Loans is same day moves. These are programmed if the program is submitted before 3pm, Mon through Friday. Otherwise, it?ll be transferred within the next day ? that is still rather fast when comparing other online lenders.

Self Improvement Times: Law Of Attraction - Is It A Fantacy - Posterous

The Book and the film "The Secret" captivated and inspired a lot of folks. The book was on the best seller list in 2006 and moved over 21 million copies. It was based on the "Law of Attraction" and talked about how people can have what ever they thirst to have in life by simply thinking positively, focusing on what they desire, having faith in that they will have what they aspire and thanking upfront for the results they would like. It got plenty of popularity because it made the "Law of Attraction" appear to be an easy way to get anything you itch for in life without having to take any real action.

It endorsed the idea that you can get everything you have a passion for even if you are passive. Determining what you aspire, recording your objectives, imagining having actually achieved your goals and believing that you can have what you want is getting ready to take action, it is not action itself. Without a doubt, the idea of obtaining anything without actually working for it appeals to the masses. The majority of individuals would more willingly do all the elements that the "The Secret" taught instead of taking the actual actions and working to achieve their objectives.

I must admit, for a long time I was a huge fan of the movie. I even invited friends to sit down with me and watch the movie. I loved it! It motivated me, gave me hope and it excited me. I can't even recall how many times I saw it.

However, the problem is that the 'Law of Attraction' does not work if you do not take any specific action! Taking action is pivotal if you desire to have or achieve anything in life. "The Secret" failed to address that. Things don't just come into being by you thinking about them and focusing on them. It would be nice if they did, but they don't.

So, is the "Law of Attraction" real?

Absolutely yes, I do believe that the "Law of Attraction" is valid. As a matter of fact, I believe it is very real. I have seen it work numerous times in my own life. But and this is a big but, it only works when you take action! You can dream all you want, you may even know exactly what you want, you can record your goals, you can put images up of all the things you want, you can say affirmations all day long, but you will only have in life what you want if and when you take action!

You see, whenever you take action, all the things that "The Secret" explained will start working in your favor. All the things that you desire will begin coming closer to you as you take actions. Without taking actions, your manner of attaining what you desire is insufficient. Accept this and understand this and you will begin seeing why some folks succeed and others don't.

OKAY, so what kind of actions do you need to take? You need to take actions that realistically bring you closer to attaining your goals. Writing down your goals is not action; it is getting ready to take action. Looking at pictures of what you want is not action; it's a method to remind yourself of what you have a passion for. Believing that you can have what you want is not action; it is prepping yourself emotionally to recognize the opportunities that will show up that can help you achieve your goals. All of the above things are good and should be done, but you have to do something that realistically helps you reach your goals. In other words, take action!

If you are working an MLM Venture, placing ads is taking action, calling your MLM prospects is taking action, actively Blogging is taking action, doing MLM business meetings is taking action, you get the idea.

I am certainly not an expert in the "Law of Attraction," but I have learned from experience in attempting to achieve my personal goals (in MLM and all areas of my life) is that once you take action, the Universe works in strange ways to help you achieve your goals. Get busy doing things to get what you want in life and the Universe will present you with opportunities that will astound you.

So, my friend, ascertain just what you have a passion for and then take action! Imagination is a fantastic thing, but it must be supported by action.

Food writer opens cooking school to share secrets

It was with much anticipation and some trepidation that I met Robert Carrier for lunch recently. Food personalities have been invading Toronto in droves, but it is rare that one has the chance to meet a real cooking superstar. Not only is he England's foremost food writer (having been the former food and drink editor of House Beautiful, The Sunday Times of London, the English Harper's Bazaar and Vogue magazines, The Daily Telegraph and Homes & Gardens), he has also written the cookbooks that many of us learned to cook from or to use in furthering our cooking knowledge.

When I met him as he visited Toronto to publicize his latest book, Cooking with Carrier (Gage, $19.95), it was almost an earth-shattering decision to choose the right lunch spot. Finally I gave up trying to second-guess what would please him and decided on Joso's, one of my favorite places. When he arrived, he began joking with the chef and staff in the kitchen and my fears were quelled.

He turned out to be a romantic and charming personality. He once owned a theater in Montmartre and his background in drama showed as he described his food experiences - obviously the love of his life. He owns two restaurants - Carrier's in London (a must if you are traveling there) and Hintlesham Hall in Suffolk, where he also lives a good deal of the year. He has also started a cooking school there to which both amateurs and professionals are flocking. Recently he started a new magazine, Robert Carrier's Kitchen, which is published weekly.

He spoke of the differences he had found between teaching people and writing for them and expressed delight that people who attended his cooking seminars were so enthusiastic. After 30 years in the food profession, although he himself kept growing and learning, he didn't think everyone's interest would still be so keen.

He has found that people to want to learn the recipes that are cooked in restaurants rather than basic techniques and that some students don't even realize that they do not know the basics. The thing that upsets him the most, however, is that people do not invest more in good equipment, especially knives, pots and pans. He dislikes most kitchen machines, with the exception of food processors, which he thoroughly enjoys using. For more information on his classes, which sound so interesting that I am tempted to attend, write: Carrier Seminar of Cooking, Hintlesham Hall, North Ipswich, Suffolk, England.

Mr. Carrier likes to keep learning about new cuisines, such as Thai cooking. Every year two apprentices are allowed to come to his restaurants to study, but when a Thai chef came a few years ago the restaurant learned more from him than vice versa. This Thai influence is reflected in items on Mr. Carrier's restaurant menus and his course on French Nouvelle Cuisine also emphasizes the oriental influence in cooking.

Mr. Carrier is also revising his first and possibly most famous cookbook, Great Dishes of the World, originally published 1963 (Thomas Nelson & Sons) in order to keep up with people's changing food expectations. He feels that people are now eating lighter meals, they want things to look as beautiful as they taste, and that quick, pan-fried dishes have become very popular. With these points in mind, he will change the popular cookbook to emphasize garnishing, quick cooking and a lighter style.

One of his most prized possessions is an original copy of this book given to him by a man who had used it over the years in running three successful restaurants. The pages of the book, covered in grease from the restaurants and tattered by much use, testified to the fact that Mr. Carrier was his guru in the matter of cooking.

Here's a recipe from Mr. Carrier's new cookbook that is popular at his own restaurants. PATE aux HERBES 1 pound lean pork Butter 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 pound fresh or 1/4 pound frozen leaf spinach 1/4 pound cooked ham 1/4 pound unsmoked bacon 1/4 pound pork fat 1/4 pound cooked beef tongue 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 tbsps. finely chopped fresh basil (or 1 tbsp. dried) 2 tbsps. finely chopped fresh parsley 2 tbsps. finely chopped chervil (or 1 tbsp. dried) 24 spikes rosemary, finely chopped (or 12 spikes dried) 4 eggs, beaten Salt and freshly ground black pepper Cayenne pepper Freshly grated nutmeg 6 ounces chicken livers 2/3 cup heavy cream (whipping) 2 tbsps. unflavored gelatine (2 envelopes) Thin strips of pounded pork fat Gherkins Cut the pork into small cubes, place in blender or food processor and blend until minced. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large frying pan, add chopped onion and saute, stirring constantly, until it is transparent. Add spinach and continue to cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted (if fresh). Remove onions and spinach and chop coarsely. Add onion and spinach mixture to pork and blend again. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Dice ham, bacon, pork fat and beef tongue and add to green pate mixture. Then add finely chopped garlic and fresh herbs.

Stir in the beaten eggs and add the salt and freshly ground pepper, cayenne and nutmeg to taste.

Dice chicken livers and saute in 2 tablespoons butter until golden.

Stir in cream and gelatine (which you have dissolved in a little water) and mix well. The raw pate with now be a nice, loose, spoon able mixture ready for cooking.

Line the bottom and sides of an ovenproof terrine with thin stips of pounded pork fat. (Note: you can ask the butcher to do this for you. But I warn you, don't ask him on a busy Saturday morning when the shop is crowded.) Spoon pate mixture into terrine and cover with thin strips of pork fat. Cook in a preheated 325 degrees F. slow oven for 1/2 hour and then lower the heat to 300 degrees F. and cook another 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove from oven to cool, pressing excess juices out of the terrine with a board or back of a spoon. Serve cold, cut into slices, with gherkins.

Note: To remove pate from the terrine, place terrine in a pan of hot water for a minute or two then insert a sharp pointed knife all around pate loosening it from the sides of the terrine. Turn terrine upside down over serving plate and pate will slide easily. Serves 10 to 12.

Phillip Phillips' Kidney Surgery Postponed Due to High Fever

Ailing American Idol winner Phillip Phillips will not have his long overdue kidney surgery today as scheduled, because he's burning up with a fever.

As if he weren't enduring enough turmoil, Phillips now has a bad sinus infection that has triggered a high fever. As a result, surgeons will not operate.

We're told the surgery has been rescheduled for early next week.

Phillip has a serious congenital kidney condition that produces kidney stones so large he cannot pass them. This has all but debilitated his right kidney.

He's been through eight surgeries to date, and battled through almost the entire season of American Idol with a stent that was inserted two months ago.

This caused Phillip extreme, continuous pain ... almost as bad as what this young Jessica Sanchez fan went through a week ago Wednesday.

Get well soon P-squared.

BLACK SABBATH Paranoid music review by Conor Fynes

'Paranoid' - Black Sabbath (9/10)

Barring the fact that the album was released a damned decade before metal was in full swing, Sabbath's 'Paranoid' was, and is as solid an album as they come. Although the self-titled debut may have had more of an immediate impact, Iommi and company would focus in on their doom innovation, a decision setting them further apart from the hordes of UK blues rockers. It's not often that an album is still relevant forty years after its release.

Considering how iconic 'Paranoid' is, it seems redundant to dwell on general information regarding the album. Suffice to say, taking into consideration that 1970 was the same year Deep Purple recorded 'In Rock' and the year after Led Zeppelin recorded 'II', Black Sabbath took a more downtuned, heavier approach to rock music. British rock was opening itself up to a more distorted sound in general, but Sabbath weren't afraid to sound ugly. A familiar blues style can be heard in Iommi's crunchy lead work, but the use of tritones, or 'evil' sounding riffs was what gave the band their then-unique take on rock music. The lyrical content somewhat fittingly either contends with the concept of war, or nightmarishly drug-fuelled adventures. As a respite from the doomy riffs, 'Paranoid' is fleshed out with some sounds of 60's era psychedelia, as best exemplified by the spacey, jam-oriented 'Planet Caravan'.

The first side of the album is a hit parade of some of the band's best-known tracks. 'War Pigs' sets up the rest of the album perfectly; a gloomy overture introducing Iommi's gritty guitar tone and some of the best riffs on the album. 'Paranoid' and 'Iron Man' are both instantly memorable tunes that have earned their due as rock radio staples. My favourite cut from the record would have to be 'Electric Funeral' however, opening the second side on an even darker note. From its signature psych-doom riff to lyrics about the apocalyptic existence of mutants in a post-nuclear city, it perfects the heavy darkness explored on the first side. The rest of 'Paranoid's later half doesn't feel quite as memorable as the first, however. The musical tightness never lets down, but 'Hand of Doom' and instrumental afterthought 'Rat Salad' feel a little less vital than the rest. Luckily, 'Fairies Wear Boots' wraps things up on a rocking note, closing with an epic lead melody that seems to foreshadow the future sound of Iron Maiden.

'Paranoid' is not quite perfect, but it's fairly close, especially considering that the sound of heavy metal was still so young. At the very least, it deserves its status as a classic. With memorable songwriting, evocative lyrics and some of the best riffs ever written, who could ask for more?

Tanger, Gonzales Combine To Tax That Man Behind The Tree

Posted by: MacAoidh on Tuesday, May 29, 2012, 22:07

?Don?t tax you, don?t tax me, tax that man behind the tree.?

- Sen. Russell Long (D-LA)

This afternoon, we saw a glittering example of insider dealing and tourist-trap economics when the City of Gonzales, responding to a request by the people who run the Tanger Outlet Mall, agreed unanimously to bump the city?s sales tax from 8.5 percent to 9.5 percent on Tanger property.

WAFB-TV had the story?

?Oh hell no, we not raising the taxes,? that?s the honest answer from an out-of-town woman, who sometimes makes the trip to the Tanger Outlet Mall in Gonzales, to find a good deal.

To the dismay of shoppers we spoke to, officials at the outlet mall asked the city to approve a one percent sales tax increase for only their stores. However, Tanger employees say many of their tenants support the tax.

Tanger?s management wants to enhance the property, and bring in new tenants. In fact they say when one store closes, several are waiting to move in. Right now, they are short on vacant space.

The Gonzales City Council unanimously passed the one percent sales tax for stores at Tanger Outlet Tuesday afternoon.

?We want to make sure that people can get in and out easily because if you can?t access it, you?re not going to use it,? said Clay Stafford, Finance Director for the City of Gonzales.

Stafford says the city looks at the tax increase as a win-win. If approved, the current 8.5 percent sales tax would increase to 9.5 percent. Stafford says the city has been looking a way to fix Highway 30 and this would give them the money.

?Not just at Tanger, but looking down at interstate interchanges and further down Highway 30 making improvements,? said Stafford.

It seems that better than two-thirds of Tanger?s customers come from outside Ascension Parish, much less the city of Gonzales. So the city is essentially pillaging the pockets of Baton Rougeans, Kennerites, Metairieans and Houmans ? and other visitors, to the tune of a 12-percent hike in sales taxes at Tanger in order to finance roads around the outlet mall.

Which sounds reasonable. Except the measure passed at the Gonzales city council wasn?t some temporary tax increase to finance a new entrance to the mall. It?s a permanent tax increase that will fund Lord-knows-what after that entrance is built.

And Tanger says they?re going to expand to put six or eight new stores in once that entrance is installed.

Maybe this is an economically sound strategy. Maybe the new stores will do well because traffic conditions getting in and out of Tanger will facilitate more customers.

Or maybe Tanger is pricing themselves out of the market, and using the Gonzales city council to do the dirty work for them. After all, there?s an outlet mall opening up in New Orleans soon. And while the mall in New Orleans East will be counting on crony-capitalist TIF (tax increment financing) treatment in an effort to enlist the City of New Orleans in assuming the economic risk of its construction, folks in Metairie and LaPlace and Mandeville might decide it?s closer and nicer and has better stores than Tanger does ? and a 9.5 percent sales tax is outrageous. We don?t know what the sales tax at that new mall in New Orleans would be; in Orleans Parish the sales tax rate is 9 percent, and it would be hard to imagine setting up a special tax rate higher than what Tanger will have.

Of course, there?s another element to this ? which is that you can buy stuff online without having to pay any sales tax. And if the city council and the folks at the mall are out to drill their wallets for as many tax dollars as they can find, it?s entirely possible the 70 percent of Tanger?s customers who don?t come from Ascension Parish might decide to save the time and gas money and just fire up the laptop to look for a new shirt. After all, they?ve just gotten a great indication of just how much they?re appreciated by Tanger and Gonzales; surely that goodwill offensive won?t go unrewarded as those consumers exercise their right to vote with their pocketbooks.

Most of all, though, it?s just bad form for politicians and real estate developers to be gouging hard-pressed consumers in the midst of a slow economy ? particularly when they know most of the people they?ll be affecting don?t have the ability to participate in the political process that produced that tax hike. We ought to expect more than this.

Top 5 low-calorie foods for summer | Vegan

As you?re gearing up for swimsuit season, replace some of those higher-calorie foods with these five slim, trim low-calorie veggies.

Sprouts

Sprouts are not only super low in calories (alfalfa sprouts come in at 8 calories per cup), they are ultra-packed with nutrients, versatile in the kitchen, and can fool your eyes into thinking you?re actually eating more. Think about it: Sandwiches piled with sprouts look ?bigger? than two slices of bread laying flat over a slather of hummus. Toss sprouts into your salads, nestle them into wraps, and make them a staple for lighter summer eating.

Cucumbers

The crunch of cucumbers delivers about 16 calories per cup of sliced cukes. These hydrating veggies can be layered in sandwiches, chopped into salads, and cut into sticks for easy snacking. You can also swap sliced cucumbers in for crackers or chips when you?re craving your favorite dip.

Spinach

One whopping cup of fresh spinach leaves has a mere 7 calories, which means you can fill up on this nutrient-dense leafy green without blowing your bikini body diet. Spinach is also a deliciously concentrated source of vitamins and minerals and can be tossed in salads or with grains, layered in sandwiches, and pureed into smoothies or chilled soups. Other low-cal leafy greens include dark leafy lettuce, kale, chard, and fresh herbs.

Summer squash

Summer squash comes in a variety of colorful shapes and can add bulk to your summer meals without racking up the calories. One cup of sliced zucchini comes in at about 18 calories. Saute zucchini with a little olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and fresh herbs for a yummy low-cal side dish. Summer squash can be eaten raw or cooked, so keep it on hand in your kitchen for your diet-friendly summer cooking needs. (Note: Summer squash is botanically a fruit, but we?re listing it here because who really sees a zuke as a veg?)

Cabbage

Unless you drown shredded cabbage with high-calorie dressings, this cruciferous vegetable delivers about 20 calories per cup. Loaded with cancer-fighting phytonutrients, cabbage can be eaten raw or cooked ? we love slaws dressed with a little olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper but we also appreciate garlicky sauteed cabbage and adding the low-cal veggie to stir-fries and soups. You can also add cabbage to smoothies or to your favorite juicing recipes.

More vegan lifestyle tips!

G.L.O.C.: Watch With G.L.O.C. -- Girls Episode 7

2012-05-30-GirlsHBOWelcometoBushwicka.k.a.TheCrackcidentEpisode74550x365.jpg

The episode opens on a shot of Jessa, Hannah, and Marnie on their way to a warehouse party in Bushwick. Jessa is almost carrying off a feathery get-up that's half dying swan, half Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. She gets a text from a random number, but instead of finding out who it's from Jessa just texts back the address of the party. Rebel!

Marnie is jittery -- she's been completely thrown off by her breakup with Charlie. Hannah reassures her that there's very little chance of running into him: "It's like Waterworld in there."

They arrive and find Shoshanna, who's been holding up a wall for two hours: "I am literally so happy to see you I could murder you."

In case you were wondering, Ray and Charlie's band, Questionable Goods, has improved a lot since their last gig. Marnie shuffles up to see Charlie after their set. Turns out having her out of his life has meant that he's got more time for music... and new girlfriends named Audrey! Marnie's reputation hasn't preceded her AT ALL -- "Are you one of those Real Housewives?"

Just when you thought Hannah might have nothing to do, Adam appears! Well, he emerges from the darkness, being crawled over by a bunch of girls in glow in the dark body paint. Ahem.

Ray and Jessa are chatting idly; suddenly Shoshanna is there, talking like the MicroMachines guy; what is WRONG with her? "It was a glass cigarette, and I am high." It becomes clear that Shoshanna has accidently smoked crack. Jessa volunteers to be her Crack Spirit Guide. That is, until Jeff (who she babysits for -- sender of the phantom text!) shows up. Jessa hands her title over to Ray -- he can handle it, right? Shoshanna runs off, yelling incoherently about kick boxing class.

Adam's friend Tako, reveals to Hannah that Adam has been a member of AA for years ("it's the main defining thing about him, right?") She doesn't quite know how to take the news.

Jessa and Jeff are on a fire escape when she almost kills a couple of guys by dropping a wine bottle on them. After following it up with some shit-talk, the guys threaten to kill them. Off to the dance floor!

Ray catches up with Shoshanna, who is either nude from the waist down or just wearing pantyhose (funny either way!) Still high, she kicks the shit out of Ray, who is impressed with her superhuman strength. But in all fairness, "It might have been the crack."

Marnie finds Elijah and tears him away from a make-out session to complain about Charlie. When Elijah calls her out for being selfish, she counters, "No; Hannah's the selfish one! Everybody knows that!" Um... sure.

Poor Jeff. Like many men before him, he gets beat up for his proximity to a mouthy girl, landing him the ER. When Jessa rejects his suggestion that they sleep together, he calls her a tease. Rude, but also... not completely off-base.

Adam invites Hannah to a scrap yard, which he's raiding for materials to build a boat. Soon she's riding high on his bicycle handlebars and everything's idyllic... until Adam stops the bike short and Hannah FLIES to the ground. She's pissed, and not just because of the bloody knees: Why has he never shared his AA status with her? He points out that she never asked. As in "never asked anything except does that feel OK and do you like my skirt"! Touch?. The confrontation between them escalates; Adam finally yells, "Do you want me to be your boyfriend??" We're not privy to the answer, but Hannah's smile in the final shot, squeezed into the back of a cab between Marnie, Adam, and his bike, reveals all.

In this episode we got to see several key relationships (Hannah/Adam, Marnie/Charlie, and Jessa/Jeff) from opposite perspectives. The switch revealed how Hannah, Marnie, and Jessa create narratives that serve themselves alone: Hannah needs to see Adam as distant; Marnie needs to see Charlie as helpless, and Jessa needs to see Jeff paralyzed by lust. But in fact -- shocker! -- these men are 3-dimensional humans who are affected by their actions. The girls' failure to look beyond their own needs means that, until now, they've been deeply implicated in their own unhappiness. It remains to be seen whether they can take these lessons to heart, or whether we're in for more trial and error, which admittedly is a big part of Girls' appeal.
