Typical "Tuscan Hospitality" with superb cuisine at your fingertips, based on purely traditional and organically farmed products while enjoying stunning views of a unique and spectacular countryside- combined with excellent trail riding on beautiful horses!
This is an opportunity to for a refined equestrian vacation in the middle of Tuscany that incorporates first class accommodations, superb meals and relaxed horseback riding into the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The riding routes cover four distinct areas in the available landscape and are aboard our well-trained and top quality horses. While each area has it own special aspects, they all blend gently into a complete picture, with an interweaving of hills, ancient eroded landscapes molded by time, woods, vineyards, rows of slender cypresses and shimmering olive groves.
The "Casale", the main welcome area and elegant lodging for guests, is the completely and traditionally restored beautiful and original stone farmhouse. It has retained its initial appeal and stands in a splendid position overlooking the magnificent and unspoiled landscapes of the clay hills of the Val d'Orcia, the imposing Radicofani fortress, Mt. Amiata, the austere medieval tower of Celle sul Rigo and renowned San Casciano Bagni. An outdoor swimming pool to swim in and relax beside with ample room for sun tanning.
The restaurant on the ground floor of the "Casale" is where the specialties of the Tuscan cuisine can be savored. Every dish is prepared, not only with a creative flair for the eye's delight, but with healthy local food and genuine organic products straight off the farm, taking great care to enhance the most intensive flavors of each of the fresh garden crops as well as the farm-produced pork and cheese delicatessen...pure the gratification of the palate!
The atmosphere is naturally rustic and the quality service is provided in a manner that is both attentive and pleasurably relaxing.
The "Casale", the main welcome area and elegant lodging for guests, is the completely and traditionally restored beautiful original stone farmhouse. It has obviously retained its initial appeal and stands in a splendid position overlooking the magnificent unspoilt landscape of the characteristic clay hills of the Val d'Orcia, the imposing Radicofani fortress, Mt. Amiata, the austere medieval tower of Celle sul Rigo and renowned San Casciano Bagni. Five suites, charmingly furnished and fully equipped with many modern conveniences and comforts, have been suitably built on the first floor of the house. There are also two swimming pools on the back lawn of the "Casale", one of which has a special wading and safe playing area for the joy of children.
Nestled on the ORGANIC FARM, the "Borgo" has been built up it the central area of the old farm buildings, with delightful, completely separate, top quality self-catering apartments, all in the likeness of a traditional hamlet: the so-called "Borgo", ideal for eco-tourism holidays.
A country "Borgo" is truly perfect for total relaxation in the peace and quiet of natural, unspoilt, yet stunning surroundings. It most certainly contributes to getting away from the stressing hustle and bustle by offering a secure place in which to escape and soak up the beauty of fantastic views, a homely atmosphere and...the Tuscan sun...or delight in the warmth of wood fires for cosy winter stays as each apartment has its own fireplace!
Needless to say that it is almost impossible to identify what it is that makes Tuscany so extraordinarily magical. A unique world-renowned region, unlike any other, it has always been famously rich for its own history, art, legends, language, humour and traditions. Tuscany creates atmosphere and enthralling memories...it just has that special touch!
The "Borgo" is made up of charming converted stables, fashioned in genuine imitation of a small, typical and enchanting rural village, with its main square, inner courtyard and homely, secluded Mediterranean gardens for each unit where guests can unwind and enjoy quiet private rests. The various furnishings have all been made by local craftsmen in keeping with Tuscan and Sienese styles.
Within the classic warmth and simplicity of a rural home enough practical space has been designed to fit modern comforts and utilities to ensure guests a blissful stay.

Traditional local dishes from the area, such as "pici" and other home-made pasta specialties are accompanied by the farm wines, or by wines, prevalently Tuscan, especially selected for the Poggio's guests from the most prestigious Italian wineries.
There is a most striking Belvedere leading out from the restaurant – set up with an open-air buffet in the summer months – from which the gorgeous and most awesome view of the countryside, made famous by the renowned Sienese School painters, can be thoroughly enjoyed whilst in the evenings the beautiful sunsets that impart a glowing red silhouette to Mt. Amiata and the tower of Ghino di Tacco's Castle can be witnessed and stored amongst "those special memories".
This trip includes
and can accommodate special dietary requests.

The horses (Arabian and Italian breeds) are raised and trained directly at the farm, according to the classic fundamentals of natural horseback riding. They are well fed and trained, and they have a number of paddocks where they are free to run peacefully, and then become the trustworthy companions of our guests. There are currently 14 horses.
Riding Center
The equestrian center is affiliated to F.I.S.E (Italian Federation of Equestrian Sports).
The facilities include a sand arena (30 x 60 meters) and an Endurance Course (country itinerary with genuine obstacles).

Sample Itinerary
Day 1 Sunday:RIDING FRANCIGENA CLAY HILLS
Arrive on Sunday and settle into your accommodations. You will have time to relax before meeting Enrica Bartolini, owner and instructor-guide with Carlo Baccelloni for a complimentary aperitif. This evening you will sample the first of your delicious meals.
Depart from the equestrian centre on horseback. Today's ride takes a southwest direction and carries you through some of the most scenic hill landscape of cultivated fields and clay hills. During the course of your ride in this area, you will be exposed to the perennial erosive action of atmospheric agents that has created the startling and extraordinary slopes and ridges known as "calanchi". It is the famous Via Francigena, the road of the ancient Etruscans and Romans, with its quite distinctive geography: the open rolling hills planted with golden wheat, the gray balze and some of the most famous farms are located in this area.
Distance: about 22 km
Day 3 Tuesday: RIDING VAL D'ORCIA
On this day you will head off in south direction from the farm, and will ride to the Val d'Orcia area. This area is one of the most beautiful and famous in the world. The Val d'Orcia was registered by the World Heritage Committee in the list of UNESCO sites as a cultural landscape in 2004. The Val d'Orcia is an exceptional example of the redesigning of pre-Renaissance landscape, testifying to the ideals of good governance and the aesthetic research
that guided its conception.
Celebrated by painters of the Scuola Senese, the Val d'Orcia became an icon of the landscape that deeply influenced the development of landscape perception.
Distance: about 21 km
Day 4 Wednesday: FREE DAY
A trip to Tuscany should never be without sightseeing the historic sites or classic vineyards, so today is open for you to explore on your own or we can provide a driver for you. We offer a number of different sightseeing options (not included) to Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino etc., or you can rent a car from the center and explore on your own. We can set aside the morning to participate in a Cooking Class with the chef of the restaurant (included).
Day 5 Thursday: RIDING RADICOFANI CASTLE
Today you will ride to the castle of Radicofani, built in the 9th century. The castle is located in a strategic position, dominating the Francigena route. In the middle age it was occupied by the 'gentleman bandit', Ghino di Tacco, a Robin Hood of sorts that was mentioned by Dante in the Devine Comedy and by Boccaccio in the Decamerone. With its 896 meters high, it is dominates the whole territory set between the Mount Cetona, the Orcia Valley and the Mount Amiata. During the war between Siena and Florence it was Cosimo I Medici who wanted it for a defensive fortress. Since 1735 it was neglected but the recent restoration has restored the ancient splendor of the past.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - With :23 seconds to play, senior Tracey Walker finished a layup to give the Santa Clara women's basketball team a 49-48 victory over Loyola Marymount Saturday afternoon at the Leavey Center. The narrow and hard-fought victory improved the Broncos to 7-3 in West Coast Conference action and 18-7 on the season, while the Lions fell to 6-5 in league play and 14-12 overall.
Redshirt junior Sara Majors tallied her third double-double of the season with a game-high 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Jen Gottschalk added 15 points for the Broncos. Both Gottschalk and Walker pulled down eight rebounds each.
LMU jumped to an 8-4 lead with 16:23 to play on a three-pointer from Kavita Goss. Yet, SCU rallied to knot the score just three minutes last on a layup from Walker, 8-8. The Broncos then took control of the scoreboard, claiming a five point edge on a trey from Gottschalk, 15-10, and then again on made free shots by Majors, 17-12. However, the Lions did not back down a knotted the score, 17-17, on a three point play by Amanda DeCoud with 9:10 left in the half.
The Lions claimed a seven point advantage, 28-21, with 3:22 remaining, but five straight points from Gottschalk brought the Broncos within two points, 28-26, going into half time.
The start to the second half was tight, as the score was tied three times in the first eight minutes. LMU tied the score, 34-34, on a made jumper by Jenna Sybesma with 12:36 to play. The Lions then widened their lead to five points on two made free throws by DeCoud. Yet, Majors' layup with 6:06 left tied the score, 46-46. Possessions were then traded but neither team was able to score for the next three minutes.
Sybesma ended the drought for the Lions with a jumper with 3:08 to play, yet a foul by Lisa Helmers sent Majors to the foul line. Majors made one of her two shots to bring the Broncos within one, 48-47, with 2:48 left. The Broncos made two attempts to take control of the scoreboard, but it wasn't until a layup by Walker sealed the win for SCU with :23 seconds to play.
For the Lions, Goss registered 13 points, while DeCoud and Sybesma tallied 11 points each.
The Broncos take to the road for their final away contests of the regular season. Santa Clara travels to San Diego on Thursday, Feb. 21 and then returns to the Bay Area for a Saturday, Feb. 23 contest against San Francisco. Tip off for both games is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Life In The Park
When I was asked to do a cartoon about Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan and what a great place it is to live, I wondered how does this relate to being green and cause minded? Come to find out I didn't have to look too hard.
Amongst the safe, clean tree lined streets you'll find charming homes and many mom and pop stores. The Park (as it's lovingly called) also recently built their very own movie theatre and a fitness center.
But wait, there's more!
The Park also has a "Tree City USA" designation. In order to be considered for this title, one of the criteria is that the city has it's very own designated full time forester on staff. The Park covers just over one square mile and every one of the 8,000 city owned trees are tended to by forester Brian Colter.
One of the many interesting things I found out is that when residents rake the fall leaves to the curb for city pickup, they are taken for compost and then re-used for landscaping. "Black gold" Brian calls it. He also mentioned that when trees die the wood isn't wasted. Even the mighty ash borer can't take the tree down so to speak. The Park's ice rink's warming hut floor is made from those once infested ash trees which now help keep skaters warm and toasty.
Grosse Pointe Park. What a perfect community blend of ambiance and sustainability. Who knew that in the heart of Metro Detroit the small town is alive and well.

Ten Tips on How to Plan Your Holiday Menu
Holiday menu design doesn't have to be complicated, but there is an art to it. Some consultants and chefs make big bucks deciding what recipes should be offered on a menu. Your undertaking will be smaller, but no less important — yet it can still be easy! Take a look at this list of things to consider when planning your menu:
What kind of party are you having? The more formal the party, the more formal the food.
Consider including a selection of flavors and textures. Perhaps serve something spicy, something creamy and soothing, and maybe something crunchy.
Always have at least one familiar appetizer, such as an onion dip. Then get as creative as you want with the rest of the food.
Include at least one dish that you're familiar with preparing and enjoy eating. You'll gain peace of mind and ensure at least one successful dish.
Take advantage of recipes that you can make ahead of time. That way, you can enjoy the party, too.
Think about the shape and color of food. If the food looks good, people will try it. If everything you offer sits on little crackers, you're not providing any visual variety.
Look to the seasons for suggestions. A cheese ball just says winter holidays to some families. Also, if you buy produce that's in season, it not only tastes better but also is less expensive.
Consider the calories in your menu. Include raw veggies so that anyone on diet restrictions can still nibble along with everybody else.
Plan from your own viewpoint. The easiest choice and one of the most common ways to make a menu is from your own viewpoint. If you enjoy eating the food you serve, most likely, the guests will, too.
Don't forget the eggnog. Most holiday parties wouldn't be complete without drinks of some sort. And what drink says the holidays more than eggnog?Credit: ©iStockphoto.com/William Berry
To make eggnog, mix 1-1/4 ounces light or dark rum, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 6 ounces milk in a shaker. Strain into a glass and sprinkle with ground nutmeg.

Ed Sheeran Gave Taylor Swift a Pretty Epic Present, Reveals Details About Her Albumby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
When Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift exchanged Christmas gifts this year, they didn't just go for the traditional pair of socks (or worse: coal.) While Sheeran couldn't quite outdo the Drake-themed needlepoint she made for him, he still managed to get the 'Red' singer a pretty epic present.
"I got [her] a plate, it was a silver plate with all of the [Red] tour dates engraved into it, which took a while to do," Sheeran recently revealed to MTV. (Sheeran opened for Swift for six months on the Red tour in 2013.) But that's not all: the engraver apparently thought the 'Sing' crooner was just an overeager Swiftie.
"I tried to hurry the dude up. … I didn't want to say who it was for," Sheeran explained. "I think he just thought I was a super fan getting Taylor Swift tour dates. I was like, 'Dude, come on, Christmas is coming.'"
Christmas is also coming a little early this year for Sheerios, as Sheeran is releasing his sophomore album, 'X' (pronounced 'Multiply') in just 10 days. In the lengthy chat with MTV, he revealed that most of the songs on 'X' were penned while he was on the Red tour — though none he actually wrote with Swift.
"…I definitely played her songs [I wrote], but there was never a point where we were like, 'Let's write a tune,' because she's like, 'I've just done an album,'" he explained.
Totally understandable! We're just super psyched for the impending release of 'X' and the eventual release of Taylor Swift's upcoming album, which Sheeran notes she's done "all on her own."
"I don't think she's teamed up with anyone; I think she's done it all on her own," Sheeran said. "It's really good."
It's good — and different.
"She has to evolve," he explained. "If she makes another 'Red' everyone will be like, 'That sounds like 'Red." But she's evolved and I think that's a positive step."

I have recently been toying with the idea of updating our living room interior! We moved into our house a couple of years ago and have bought new furniture and been given bits and pieces from people too. We now have everything we need but are finding we have a bit of a mix mash of everything. I wanted to bring it all together by re-looking at the colour palette for cushions and accessories and was thinking about doing a mustard and charcoal theme.
We don't have loads to spend and already have mid-tone grey sofas so instead of investing in new 'big things' I thought I would add cushions etc in the above colour palette. I will let you know how it goes!
Check out the following websites and blogs I used for inspiration:

I've been told that I do this weird thing with my s's where it sounds like I'm blowing a lot of air out when I say it. Some people call it a "slush." What can I do about it?- Stacey*
This sounds like a lisp known as a lateralized lisp. It's a type of articulation disorder where air leaks out from the sides of the tongue. This can make a person's speech sound slushy.
The best way to treat a lateralized lisp is to see a speech therapist. (You can ask your doctor to refer you to one.) The speech therapist will check where your tongue is positioned. After learning more about your mouth structure, the speech therapist will suggest some things you can do to remedy the problem based on your individual needs. These will probably include mouth and speech exercises to help lessen the lisp.

Mizzou Wrestling Gets First Win in MAC
DEKALB, IL -- Coming off their first loss of the season, the fifth-ranked Tigers blasted the Northern Illinois Huskies 39-3 on Saturday. Mizzou won in every weight class but one, with six of those wins reaching bonus point land.
For the first time in a month, the Tigers welcomed junior Alan Waters back to the starting lineup. Waters has been perfect so far this year, and has been a huge asset in dual meets especially at the top of the lineup. Missouri's 125-pounder kicked off Saturday's dual with a pin over Nick Harrison of NIU. Waters took a quick 4-1 lead in the first period before getting Harrison flat on his back at 2:27.
Senior Nathan McCormick remained undefeated in dual meets this season with a decision over Nick Smith. McCormick tallied three takedowns in the 8-2 win, two of which came in the first period. After two weight classes, the Tigers had built a comfortable 9-0 lead.
The Huskies picked up their only three points of the dual at 141 pounds. Kevin Fanta of NIU took a 2-0 lead after one period. Mizzou senior Nicholas Hucke closed the gap to one in the second, but an escape and takedown in the third by Fanta decided the bout. Fanta won 6-1 with riding time.
From then on out, the Tigers didn't lose. Drake Houdashelt was a scoring machine in his 18-6 major over Rob Jillard. Houdashelt tallied eight takedowns with six in the third period alone. Houdashelt leads the squad with eight major decisions on the season.
Mizzou won by major decision at 157 and 165 as well. Kyle Bradley added two takedowns and a two-point nearfall in the third period against Andrew Morse of NIU to get into bonus point territory and take the bout 11-1. Junior Zach Toal followed that performance with a couple of two-point nearfalls in the first period to take a commanding 8-0 lead after two periods. The 165-pounder added one last takedown in the final frame and took the match 11-0.
Senior Todd Porter is still undefeated in dual matches after an 8-3 decision over Matt Mougin. Porter has been a force at 174 this season as he continues to work toward qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the first time in his career.
Seniors Mike Larson and Brent Haynes each added six team points via the fall in their matches. Larson trailed early, but after a mix of takedowns and two-point nearfalls, Mizzou's grappler out of McKinleyville, Calif. pinned his counterpart Bryan Loughlin with 13 seconds remaining in the third period. Brent Haynes only needed 2:52 to get the fall. Haynes proved to be too much for Huskies' grappler Parker Settecase, and quickly. Haynes had four nearfalls before finishing off Settecase.
No. 1 ranked Dom Bradley added the final three team points against NIU heavyweight Jared Torrence. Bradley took the match 2-1 with an escape and a point for riding time. The Tigers have a quick turnaround and will be back in action Sunday against 21-ranked Northern Iowa.

In addition to the demos of the latest software and hardware on the display floor at Siggraph, there are a number of classes offered in the Siggraph Studio. If you are lucky enough to get a seat, you get a brief (one and a half hours) hands on training on the latest advances in many of the software applications, ranging from Photoshop's new 3D capabilities to the digital sculpting techniques of ZBRUSH. The time allotted as well as the complexity of the software seldom allows you to exit the Studio with something you can apply immediately; rather it wets your appetite for further study or, as the software publishers and authors hope, further purchases.
An exception to the rule was a session taught by one of the printing world's heavyweights Jack Duganne. Among his printing clients is artist and Nobel Prize winner Roger Guillemin. Jack who teaches at Santa Monica College's Academy of Entertainment Technology entitled the session Fine-Art Printmaking Workflow, "printing multiple proofs in an extremely efficient and effective way to arrive at the perfect print." Basically he showed the way to create multiple digital proofs (soft proofing) that can be combined into one print, like a contact sheet and printed on whatever paper stock you are using and then presented to the client be it a painter, photographer or yourself. Instead of printing a number of prints and making fine adjustments, this technique saves the cost of ink and paper which can be considerable if you are printing canvas size prints on fine art stock like Jack does; and most of all it saves you a great deal of heartache. For no matter how closely two people match their color profiles on two different computers, there are too many variables (room lighting, screen degradation, visual acuity etc..) for there ever to be a perfect match. And as you will see these multiple proofs may provide possibilities for a print that not only meets but exceeds what you thought was possible for your creation.
This lesson was one that was years in the making for Jack Duganne, who pioneered the art of marrying fine art printmaking and the world of creative digital imaging. Before founding Duganne Ateliers, he was the master printer, for what was at the time premiere digital printing and scanning house, Nash Editions. Owner Graham Nash , who co-founded the company with Crosby, Stills and Nash tour manager R. Mac Holbert, was a photography collector and fine art photographer who had the resources to develop a company that stretched the limits of what people thought digital imaging could do, Jack coined the term Giclée while working there to communicate to fine artists the new possibilities in reproduction that were now available to them.
The following tutorial taken from Jack's presentation at Siggraph, which makes use of Photoshop's "layer comps". Layer comps allow you to store multiple versions of a digital print or photo into one document. This should allow anyone with any level of color printer to create the best print possible while saving ink. It should also give you a notion of what the professional fine art print flow is all about. The composite we will apply the changes to before it is to be printed was created while I practicing one of Jack's other tutorials.
Step one: open a Photoshop document with a variety of tonal colors and varying levels of light. Though this will work on any photo of a print or photograph, the effects will be easier to see if you choose something that meets these requirements. The printed version of your document differs from what you see on your monitor. Sometimes it looks vastly different. Printed images are not as bright, have lower contrast and the color saturation is lower on print than it is on screen. Because of this there have been standards created so when people pass digital files back and forth they can speak the same language it's called color space. Like the pros do, let us pick a working color space. If you do this, your home printer or the print house you take your own masterpiece to, will see something closer to what you have viewed at home and the results will be more predictable. In Photoshop go edit>color settings (shift-command-k on Mac or shift-control-k on PC) and pick Adobe RGB 1998 and U.S. Sheetfed Coated V2.
To go one step further many If you have a printer like the Epson R1900 you can merely go to Epson's website or Google your printer and download the printer and paper specific profile (ICC PROFILE). If you have the popular and less expensive, Canon Pixma 6600D you will find these profiles included on your install disk. However you should note that the profiles are for Canon papers. Hmmm.. I wonder why?
Most important of all! If you read no further, there is one step that will improve all your prints in an instant if you are a Photoshop user. Always select " Photoshop manages colors" when you print not the default " Printer manages colors". It is under the color management window in the top right of Photoshop's print window.
I have even seen pros forget to do this and were astounded at the difference it made.
This is the Photoshop document before any color or position changes are applied. Here comes the magic. Open up the layer comps panel under WINDOW menu pull down in Photoshop. Now every time we make an alteration to the document we make a layer comp and it creates a snapshot of the change we made. Allowing us to store multiple versions in coloring, appearance and position of our original in ONE DOCUMENT!
Now we add 2 layers in which we add some lighting changes and color and click symbol for new layer comp. When prompted by the layer comp dialog, title layer comp with a number and description.
We can then change levels to alter the sky color.
Now we make a change with hue and saturation and bump up the green way past what looks okay on the screen. Notice how much stronger the grass is and might it not be cool to have a little moss on the grave? Remember printing usually tones down the saturation and now is the time to take chances. We may find we dislike the screen image but will love the print.
We skip ahead a few changes and see a change in position of the carved in flame and other changes.
Almost done. Save your Photoshop document. Go to file>scripts> layer comps to files, when prompted browse to your drive create a folder and hit run.
Make sure you uncheck selected layer comps unless that is what you want.
Now you have all your layer comps as individual images in one folder you can take them into Photoshop and arrange them in one document and print them or if you have CS4 and have installed contact sheet option just go file>automate contact sheet and pick the folder.
If you have not installed these plug-ins from the goodies folder on your install DVD in CS4 you can download them from Adobe. To download the CS5 plug-ins click here for MAC or PC contact sheet options.
If none of the options work for you in Photoshop go to Bridge and click output in the upper right hand corner.
Choose pdf and then contact sheet and then hit save.
All you have to do is open your contact sheet in Photoshop and hit print.

Conservatives still claim private accounts would improve Social Security solvency
Fred Barnes and Benjamin L. Ginsberg both falsely claimed that allowing workers to divert payroll taxes from Social Security into private investment accounts would address the program's long-term solvency problem. Appearing on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews on March 9, Ginsberg, a GOP lawyer and MSNBC contributor, claimed that "the personal accounts -- well, it's going to be part of the solution. What this is all about is putting the whole program in a solvent way." On Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard and Fox News political contributor, claimed that private accounts "are part, not the whole, but they are a part of the solvency issue."
In fact, even the Bush administration has admitted that private accounts would do nothing to address the long-term solvency of Social Security. Rather, President Bush's plan will likely address the solvency of the program through substantial cuts in guaranteed benefits.
Defending his false assertion, Barnes explained that private accounts would mean "that the unfunded liability of Social Security shrinks, and less money has to come out of the system, which is financed by taxes. And more money will come out of being earned in the regular economy in America." But without a cut in guaranteed benefits, which Barnes never mentioned, Social Security would face the same unfunded future obligations; diverting payroll taxes would simply reduce the revenue available to meet these obligations. Indeed, far from improving Social Security's financial outlook, creating private accounts would exacerbate the solvency problem. Social Security's chief actuary recently informed the White House that under Bush's proposal to let workers divert a portion of payroll taxes into private accounts, "[a]nnual cash-flow deficits (negative annual balances) appear in 2012, or six years earlier than under current law," as The Wall Street Journal reported on February 8.
From the March 9 edition of Hardball:
GINSBERG: Now you've got -- now you've got the Democrats moving to the point where they admit there's a problem.
CHRIS MATTHEWS (host): -- accounts the solution?
GINSBERG: And the personal accounts -- well, it's going to be part of the solution. What this is all about is putting the whole program in a solvent way, where people buy into the -- into the system --
MATTHEWS: How do those personal accounts -- do those personal accounts, like I just described them, solve the problem of the fact there's going to be so many more retirees than there are workers in the next 20 or 30 years?
GINSBERG: It doesn't solve it alone. But it lets people --
MATTHEWS: Does it solve it at all?
GINSBERG: Yes.
MATTHEWS: How?
GINSBERG: Yes, because it lets people vest into the system in a way they're not now. People don't believe that there will be anything there for them when they retire. That's my kids' viewpoint of it.
MATTHEWS: Right.
GINSBERG: Personal retirement accounts also allow people of that generation to have a real stake in the system, in its sanctity. And that will help restore the solvency to it, if the Democrats will get off the bench and actually come up with a plan, instead of sticking their heads in the sand and defending --
From the March 9 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
BARNES: No. Well, some are, some haven't. Some are still saying that, that there's no crisis there. We don't have to do anything. It's years off and so on. And that's not what the American people believe.
You know, the Republicans and Bush in particular should be heartened by that poll number you mentioned from that Republican -- from those focus groups finding out that only 20 percent of Americans have heard or even know anything about these private investment accounts. Because I think selling them is the way to get Social Security reform.
In truth, they are part, not the whole, but they are a part of the solvency issue. And they do --
BRIT HUME (anchor): In what sense?
BARNES: Well, in the sense that eventually people getting -- rather than money from the Social Security system and from taxes, their retirement will be funded in part by their earnings from where they've invested their money.
HUME: In private accounts.
BARNES: Yes. Their payroll tax money in private accounts.
HUME: So a different part of Social Security --
BARNES: So it means that the unfunded liability of Social Security shrinks, and less money has to come out of the system, which is financed by taxes. And more money will come out of being earned in the regular economy in America.
MORTON M. KONDRACKE (Roll Call executive editor and Fox News contributor): But there's a --
BARNES: So they are a part of it. They're just not the whole part.

Tonganoxie High athletic trainer Mark Padfield did plenty during his summer vacation this year, but the highlight of his break came almost immediately after the school year ended.
As public relations officer for the Kansas Athletic Trainers Society, Padfield was quite pleased when the School Sports Head Injury Prevention Act was enacted by the Kansas Legislature and eventually put into effect on July 1.
Worries about concussions and head injuries being properly treated have been on the rise recently and KATS and the Kansas State High School Activities Association wanted to have protocol in place to keep athletes in the Sunflower State as safe as possible. Now when an athlete in Kansas has a head injury, it is illegal for her or him to return to athletics participation without being cleared by a medical doctor or doctor of osteopathic medicine, which was exactly what KATS and KSHSAA wanted out of the law.
"That was the only thing we were worried about," Padfield said of KATS.
Last year was the first year KSHSAA recommended doctor's clearance. Now it is a law. Padfield said that doesn't really change anything for THS athletes, because he had been following those guidelines.
However, he said, the law will make it illegal for a smaller school that might be operating without an athletic trainer to clear an athlete with a head injury. Every student-athlete in Kansas, Padfield said, will now be protected from coming back too early after suffering a head injury.
"It takes all of the gray area out of the coach's hands," the THS trainer said. "You can't make that judgment call anymore."
KSHSAA offered the following guideline for compliance with the law:
"If a student suffers, or is suspected of having suffered a concussion or head injury during a sport competition or practice session, the student: (1) must be immediately removed from the contest or practice and (2) may not again participate in practice or competition until a health care provider has evaluated the student and provided a written clearance for the student to return to practice and competition."
The bottom line of getting the law passed, Padfield noted, was to eliminate conditions in which an injured athlete might end up suffering second impact syndrome and doing more damage. The law guarantees athletes time to heal and get rest.
Padfield was happy the law was enacted and that he was able to help KATS push it through.
"It's awesome," he said. "Anything that increases player safety is what we're all about."
Tonganoxie's athletic trainer said seeing the law pass was satisfying and important.
"From a professional standpoint, I would say that was the highlight of the summer," he said. "We worked pretty hard to get that done."
Heat illness, Padfield added, is likely the next issue KATS will address statewide.

I was breezing through the internet yesterday after I was done with work, and I came across one of the most cutest pictures I have ever seen. That very same picture inspired me to draw something a bit different, but recognizable. For my first tutorial of the day I will be showing you "how to draw baby Winnie the Pooh", step by step. Winnie the Pooh is as you know, a very popular character with boys, girls, and even adults. This character was developed by Disney and created by A.A. Milne. Over the years of Winnie's existence, we refer to him as Pooh Bear instead of spelling out or saying his full name. I for one, have grown up with Winnie the Pooh both visually and mentally. What I mean by mentally is, I used to have a bunch of toys that was a collection of all the characters from Winnie the Pooh. I can't even choose just one character that I like best out of the bunch because they are all very unique, cute, and fun. I guess the only character I really didn't care too much about was Christopher Robin, and I think that is because he wasn't one of the animals. This drawing that I did last night came out incredibly cute, and I know that it will be loved and favorited throughout the site. Well that is all I really have to say about him, I think it is now time that you guys learn "how to draw baby Winnie the Pooh step by step". I shall return shortly so stay tuned in to see what comes your way next. Peace!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

A Cowboy Church?
What's that all about?
Cowboy church isn't just for working cowboys. It's for armchair enthusiasts, farm folks, those "stuck in the city", rodeo fans, city slickers and anyone "country" at heart. It's for anyone with an affinity for the western lifestyle.
If you've ever tapped your toes to a country tune, watched a western, know the theme song from Bonanza, read a Zane Gray (or Louis L'Amour) novel, done a line dance or square dance, or own a pair of jeans, you're "cowboy".
The message of God's love for you remains the same. We're committed to solid evangelical Christian beliefs. It's just the atmosphere and music that are different.
Our music is "country". That includes everything that might fit under the broad heading of the country genre. Country. Western. Gospel. Rockabilly. Roots (especially blue grass). Grand Ol' Opry. And more.
Our dress is casual and informal. Wear your jeans, stetson and boots if you've got them. Or wear whatever you're comfortable in.
And to answer a common question ... yes "cowgirls" and "little wranglers" are most welcome too!
Cowboy from the start or just cowboy at heart ... you're welcome here.

If you want to pitch, is there any better organization to play for than the Atlanta Braves?
Or the Texas Rangers for hitters?
Two local 2007 draft picks changed organizations when they became minor-league free agents last winter, and former Guilford right-hander Cody Scarpetta and Boylan star Jake Smolinski are both thriving in their new scenery.
Friday, in his third start for the Lynchburg Hillcats in high Class A, Scarpetta threw the first seven innings of a no-hitter. Scarpetta, 25, struck out seven and walked one. He threw 99 pitches. Scarpetta is now 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA since joining the Braves organization with 15 strikeouts and five walks in 19 innings.
Scarpetta, an 11th-round pick, spent one day in the Majors with the Brewers in 2011 when they were short of pitchers, but after a strong 2011 season in Class AA he missed the 2012 season after having Tommy John surgery, struggled in 2013 and was released last winter. He started this season in the independent Atlantic League, but was signed by the Braves on June 12.
Scarpetta has a career record of 23-34 in the minors with a 3.81 ERA and 455 strikeouts in 444 1/3 innings. At one point, he was rated as having the best curveball in the Brewers' minor league system. Besides injuries, Scarpetta's biggest problem has been 241 career walks, but his three starts in the Braves' system have him with easily the lowest walk rate (2.37 per nine innings) and walks plus hits per innings pitched (0.89) of his career.
Smolinski, a second-round pick, was promoted to Class AAA this week and is hitting .333 with a .500 on-base percentage in his first two games.
Smolinski, like Scarpetta, was hampered by injuries early in his career, both in the Nationals organization and the Marlins organization. He had his best season last year when he reached Class AAA for the Marlins and hit a career-high nine home runs in 95 games for New Orleans, with a .258 batting average and .345 on-base percentage.
The left-fielder started out in Class AA this year and was tied for second in runs scored (43) and fourth in home runs (a career-high 10) in 72 games before being promoted. His .459 slugging percentage was the highest of his career and his .267 batting average and .808 OPS was his highest since age 20 in low Class A.
This is the first year that Smolinski, 25, has not been younger than the league average at the level he was playing at.
Seth Blair, a fellow 2007 graduate from Rock Falls, was also recently promoted to Class AAA. Blair did not sign out of high school, but instead enrolled at Arizona State, where he was Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year as a junior and a first-team All-American. He was a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds by the Cardinals in 2011 but spent much of the last two years injured. He was 4-6 with a 5.70 ERA in 15 games in the Class AA Texas League.
Blair was moved to the bullpen his last four games in Class AA and so far his first two in AAA. He has a 3.38 ERA in two innings for Memphis in the Pacific Coast League, allowing no hits but walking four. He has 42 walks vs. 40 strikeouts on the year.
Jake Junis, another Rock Falls right-hander, is 8-4 with a 3.35 ERA at age 21 in low Class A ball for the Kansas City Royals.
Boylan grad Zach Stoner, 20, has two hits in 15 at bats as a catcher for the Chicago White Sox Rookie League team in Great Falls. His first game this year was June 18. This is Stoner's third year at the Rookie League level.

GOP senators fight over failure
Long-simmering tensions within the Republican Party spilled into public view Wednesday as the pragmatic and conservative wings of the GOP blamed each other in blunt terms for the party's failure to capture the Senate.
With tea party-backed candidates going down in Delaware, Colorado and Nevada, depriving Republicans of what would have been a 50-50 Senate, a bloc of prominent senators and operatives said party purists like Sarah Palin and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) had foolishly pushed nominees too conservative to win in politically competitive states.
Story Continued Below
Movement conservatives pointed the finger right back at the establishment, accusing the National Republican Senatorial Committee of squandering millions on a California race that wasn't close at the expense of offering additional aid in places like Colorado, Nevada and Washington state, where Democratic Sen. Patty Murray holds a narrow lead as the votes continue to be counted.
The back-and-forth following an otherwise triumphant election amounted to a significant ratcheting up of the internecine battle that has been taking place within the GOP for the past year.
"Candidates matter," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). "It was a good night for Republicans but it could have been a better one. We left some on the table."
Referring to the debate within the right about whether the party was better off losing the Delaware seat than winning with a moderate Republican like Rep. Mike Castle, who lost the GOP primary to Christine O'Donnell, Graham was even more blunt.
"If you think what happened in Delaware is 'a win' for the Republican Party then we don't have a snowball's chance to win the White House," he said. "If you think Delaware was a wake-up call for Republicans than we have shot at doing well for a long time."
Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott put it plainly: "We did not nominate our strongest candidates."
Had Republicans run Castle in Delaware and establishment favorites Sue Lowden in Nevada and Jane Norton in Colorado, Lott said, Tuesday would have turned out different.
"With those three we would have won and been sitting at 50 [senators]," he observed.
Another high-profile senator went even further, placing the blame for the Senate GOP's failure squarely at the feet of Graham's South Carolina colleague, DeMint.
This Republican senator said that the tea party was the "big winner" by helping bring enormous energy behind GOP candidates Tuesday, but he said that "Sen. DeMint was the big loser."
"It's like you're on the five-yard line ready to score and the quarterback calls the play and some member of your team tackles one of your members and keeps you from scoring," the senator said. "We came tantalizingly close to a majority."
"I'm completely mystified by it," the senator said of DeMint's tactics.
The senator credited House Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner for keeping House Republicans unified behind a common purpose but he said that DeMint took a selfish path that hurt the party's common cause.

1) reviewed the anchor chart "Three Ways to Read a Book" repeatedly
2) read and reread several books and practiced retelling a story we already know and looking at the pictures and telling a story as a whole class
3) learned how to "lean and tell" and "turn and talk" with a partner
4) introduced my chime wand for bringing students back to the carpet in between rotations
5) taught mini-lessons on how to hold books, turn the pages, and take care of our books
In preparation for starting to build stamina next week I wanted to make sure my students had a clear understanding of the three ways to read a book and how to take care of the books in their book box.
Over the course of the last several days I read and reread several books to my class. After the second read we practiced retelling the story because we already knew it and used the pictures to help us. I held the book up and turned the pages one at a time while I called on different students to retell what happened on each page. When needed I provided students with prompts and asked questions to help get them thinking about what happened.
These two books were favorites this week.
We practiced how to "lean and tell" and "turn and talk" with our elbow partners. When I want students to share a one or two word response I have them lean and tell. When I want them to share something more then that I have them turn and talk.
Our anchor chart came from Kim Adsit's Blasting Off With Reader's Workshop unit.
We practiced reading then putting our books back in the basket and returning to the carpet when we heard the chime. I had to be secretly excited about the students who ignored the chime because they did not want to stop reading their books :) For more information on what the sisters say about signaling click here.
We learned how to hold books correctly, turn the pages carefully, and put our books away. We also learned about the book hospital and when we need to put books in it.
First we learned about taking care of books. Then we made an anchor chart to help us remember what we talked about (this anchor chart came from Blasting Off With Reader's Workshop). I demonstrated the right way and the wrong way to hold a book and turn the pages. I had students give me a thumbs up when I did it correctly and a thumbs down when I did it incorrectly (this idea came from Blasting off with Reader's Workshop). Then we practiced holding books correctly and turning the pages carefully.
We spent two days learning how to take care of books and practicing in small groups. I grouped students by their table color and put them in various places around the room. Then I gave each group a basket of books to practice with.
I used the book Maybe a Bear Ate It! to talk about how to take care of our books. The different pages in the book were a great springboard for talking about how we do not sit on our books, we do not put them in our mouth, we do not lay them all over the floor because they may get stepped on, and we do not put food and drinks around them.
I placed familiar stories and books we read this week in the baskets. I wanted to make sure students could practice reading a book by retelling a story they already knew. I also put books about popular characters in the basket- Froggy, Clifford, Curious George, etc.
I got their book boxes ready for next week. I am starting with three books per student. To get started I chose three "look" books for each student. Once again I used familiar reads, fairy tales, popular characters, and books we read this week.
What's up next...
1) more review of the three ways to read a book
2) modeling looking at the pictures and telling a story and retelling a story we already know
3) learning how to read a book page by page
4) building stamina and the stamina chart
5) I-chart for what to do during read to self
My hope is that by spending so much time now modeling and practicing the three ways to read a book and how to take care of books we will be able to build stamina smoother and faster.

Corticosteroids reduce
inflammation in the lungs. They also decrease
mucus and make it easier for the person to breathe.
Corticosteroids can be given as a pill or liquid, as an injection, or with an
inhaler. The kind of corticosteroid that will be
prescribed depends on what symptoms are being treated.
Corticosteroids are widely used to
treat many different types of inflammation. They have been tested for use in
treating lung inflammation in
cystic fibrosis. At this time, they are recommended
only for people who have significant shortness of breath and
wheezing or an infection caused by a fungus (allergic
bronchopulmonary aspergillosis).
Oral corticosteroids are usually
used only for short periods of time because of the side effects. Inhaled forms
may be used for longer periods of time.
Corticosteroids are the most
powerful medicines for reducing inflammation in the lungs. More research is
needed to find out the specific benefits and potential harmful side effects for
people who have cystic fibrosis.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of oral corticosteroids include:
Side effects of inhaled corticosteroids are uncommon at the usual dose. Side effects (many of which occur only with high doses) may include:
Using a
spacer with a metered-dose inhaler can help you avoid the side effects of inhaled
steroids. After using an inhaler, it is also important to rinse your mouth out
with water and then to spit out the water. Swallowing the water will increase
the chance that the medicine will get into your bloodstream, which may increase
the side effects of the medicine.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Women who take oral corticosteroids during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns is proud to introduce the "Boutique Collection" of Inns to the already fabulous collection of Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns. There seems to be some overlap between the concept of a small boutique inn and a bed and breakfast. Boutique Inns are described as personalized, customized, unique, and individual, combining historic details with chic elegance. The most important defining features of boutique Inns are cultural, historical, authenticity; the boutique hotel is not part of a chain and that it provides interesting, unique services. Other important defining descriptors of boutique hotels include, "social spaces such as living rooms, libraries with social rooms" and "many, high-quality in‐room features".
A "Boutique Inns" describes an approach and attitude, with no regard to hotel size. A Boutique hotel is a term that describes Inns that contain luxury facilities of varying size in unique or intimate settings with full service accommodations. Typically boutique hotels are furnished in a themed and stylish manner. Boutique Inns are often individual and focused on offering their services in a comfortable, intimate, and welcoming setting.
Guest rooms and suites may be fitted with telephone and Wi-Fi Internet, air-conditioning, honesty bars and cable TV, but sometimes none of these, focusing on quiet and comfort rather than gadgetry. Guest services are often attended to by 24 hour staff members. Many boutique hotels have on-site dining facilities, and offer bars and lounges that may also be open to the general public. Boutique Inns have typically been unique properties operated by individuals or companies with a small collection.
Travelers nowadays expect more than simple comfort and convenience. An increasing number of travelers prefer to be "surprised". When planning trips, they seek properties that are noticeably different in look and feel from branded hotels. The Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns Boutique Collection have met a standard established by FBBI, Select Registry, BedandBreakfast.com 4 Diamond, AAA 4 Star or Superior Small Lodging White Glove Award, so you can be assured of the highest quality and standards if you choose a Florida Bed and Breakfast Boutique Collection Inn.

*sniff * sniff*
Okay so I am not that sad about it, but as of yesterday I have been without a kitchen. That means no more home cooked meals, for a little while (unless peanut butter sandwiches fall into that category). The house is now an official disaster zone. I just keep trying to picture the new kitchen in my mind, reminding myself it is all worth it.
So for the next few weeks I will be sharing photos of my kitchen, and maybe doing a review or two on some convenience vegan food products. Right now I am sticking to veggie dogs, salads, fresh fruit and sandwiches. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Trudeau forgets Alberta - the reaction is hilarious...and hypocritical
This blog post comes from a C2E thread of a similar name.
This thread is both sad and hilarious at the same time.
In no way shape or form do I think that the omission of Alberta from the list of provinces was an intentional conspiracy theory on behalf of the Prime Minister or anybody else in his caucus or staff. Mistakes are made in speeches all the time. It's how you handle the fallout that is crucial.
But the bigger problem here is, an allegedly, most likely involuntary omission or gaffe is turned into a lot larger issue. Partisan politics rears its ugly head. I have had a colossal laugh over some folks on this thread who are going out of their way to minimize the gaffe as a simple mistake, yet insert the words Prime Minister Harper, Prime Minister Cameron, President Bush, VP candidate Sarah Palin, or any other on the political slant that is not of their liking, and the very same people on this thread you are minimizing Prime Minister Trudeau's gaffe would be all over these people like a stain. And yes, when I juxtapose this thread with the Trump thread(s), the flip-flop on opinions is just as noticeable.
Does everybody remember Dan Quayle? For those who don't, I will say spell potato. Look it up. Google it. If the Internet existed to the level that it does the day, I'll guarantee you the thread would look exactly like this except several of you who are now easily dismissing a most likely unintentional slipup would be absolutely eviscerating Dan Quayle. Look at how often the 2nd President Bush was portrayed as a goof, a dork, an *****, and anything else that would come out of any left-leaning politician. One that comes to mind is President Bush forgetting the order of, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". In the middle of a heated speech, he slipped up. Yes, the result was hilarious, and even as President Bush was speaking it, he knew what was going on. He knew he made a mistake. Yet, I guarantee you that the vast majority of people dismissing this gaffe were absolutely pointing and laughing and calling President Bush incompetent, thin-skinned, and ridiculous.
The point here? We live in an incredibly divided political time. We waste an inordinate amount of time picking on political leaders, business leaders, celebrities, and even average citizens over gaffes. Even in Alberta, hard-core economic issues and infrastructure issues are often overlooked and fly under the radar as we spend all of our time screaming and hollering over a misplaced modifier or bad syntax. The media, forms, Facebook, Twitter, and every other form of media both traditional and modern is flooded with spam like conversations about the Kardashian groups latest thing, politicians making a loud whoop during a convention speech, you will believe the net worth of so and so, and you won't believe what this person looks like now. Our political and social discourses now about insults and belittling rather than results. The sad result, real conversations, real gaffes, real blunders then suddenly are either missed or easily excused as just another gaffe. You're seeing that more and more especially with our American cousins. They are so busy worrying about golden showers in Moscow that a lot of the real concerns are starting to slip under the radar yet again.
The other point? I mention how you handle this is crucial. There are times when an "aw shucks" is probably the best response. There are times when immediately rushing back to the stage and groveling or pandering would work. And then there are times where you make a political gaffe or a social gaffe that needs a calm and reasoned response delivered after little bit of time has passed. With this Alberta gaffe, the right response is not to suddenly shower Alberta with praise and false I love you's. It seems insincere and only fuels the cannon fodder that obviously is happening in our political discourse. A simple, humble apology would be best. Why? Because you know the history of "Western alienation" is definitely going to rear its ugly head, and the astute will do everything they can to appear humble rather than insincere.
Does this gaffe mean that myself and many others don't like Justin Trudeau now? No. This gaffe didn't sway anybody's opinion one way or another, which is another nail in the coffin of this whole thing being a silly mistake. Just like I know this blog post won't change a damn thing in the wonderful hypocritical race to see who can tease the other person's hero more over the most minor of infractions. I guess I get to continue to laugh while having to work hard in the background to see real change happen.

Product Questions and Answers
Would it work to seal on canvas, such as shoes?- Asked by Hannah on 29-Oct-13
This should work as it works on most fabrics, however it's always best to do a small test first on another item just to be sure.- Answered by MisterArt on 31-Oct-13
I have used Sharpie oil-based markers on pleather and now I'd like to seal the marker - would Blair Clear Spray (in gloss) be a good choice?- Asked by Becca on 20-Jan-13
The Spray Clear by Blair can be used on mounted fabric. The gloss will give the surface a shiny look. If you want the surface to look flat, we would suggest using the matte.- Answered by MisterArt on 24-Jan-13

Product Questions and Answers
How do you remove it from a paint brush?- Asked by Marcia F on 16-Aug-13
The thinner and glazing medium for Dorland's Wax Medium is turpentine or poppy seed oil, so this should also clean your brushes.- Answered by MisterArt on 26-Aug-13

The Dorland Wax medium is more of a sealing medium or a protective coating. It does not act as a sizing agent.- Answered by MisterArt on 09-May-13
Is it firm almost like a candle but not fluid like gesso?- Asked by byron keener arq on 16-Mar-13
The Wax Medium by Dorland's is a translucent frosted compound. It has a heavy paste like texture, but not as thick as candle wax.- Answered by MisterArt on 20-Mar-13
