1969 Heuer Autavia 1163MH Automatic Chronograph. The hour and minute hands on this watch are unfortunately incorrect.
Produced in 1969, The 1163MH was the first model from Heuer to use the caliber modular automatic chronograph movement jointly developed by Heuer, Hamilton-Buren, Breitling and Dubois-Depraz (the Chronomatic group). The movement uses the Buren Super Slender microrotor automatic movement as a base with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module on top
On March 3, 1969 the Chronomatic group held a press conference in Geneva Switzerland and New York City to publicly announce the creation of automatic chronographs with the caliber 11 movement. At the 1969 Basel Fair in April the Chronomatic group showed 100 pre-production prototypes of Heuer and Breitling chronographs to attendees and after the show they distributed the watches to their most important distributors. Heuer chronographs with the caliber 11 in them were available to consumers worldwide in August of 1969.
Early caliber 11 chronographs were known to suffer from over-banking of the balance. Heuer responded to problems in early watches by creating a modification to these calibers which addressed the problem. Caliber 11s modified to fix the problem have an "i" stamped on them next to the Cal. 11 designation under the balance and in 1970, Heuer introduced the caliber 12 which incorporated the modification into production.

A word from Aaliyah, the 'Dr. Seuss Family' costume creator:
Armando Rivera "Thing Dad"
Aaliyah Rivera "Thing Mom"
Aalivia Rivera "Cat in the Hat"
The idea was just something that came across my mind being a first time mom I knew that our costume shouldn't be anything creepy or frightening plus The cat in the Hat has always been my favorite.
"How-to" instructions:
Plain red long sleeve T-shirts, used white construction paper cut in a circle and outlined in black sharpie and words always handwritten in sharpie.
"Cat in the Hat " instructions
Plain long sleeve black onesie used black and white tulle for tutu for the hat i actually found a cat in the Hat doll and cut the hat off the doll and glued ot to an elastic head band. Used a pair of mittens that she already had and for leg warmers cut off the sleeve to a sweater i found grandmother sewed it tighter together and added ruffles.

Heyburn State Park was a very hard 5 mile race. Thank goodness this was really a 5 mile race. The starting line was at a base of a 2.24 mile hill up. I was not ready for that kind of a start. This race took me a long time because it was steep. Too steep for me to run up. The start was not so bad as we started to climb. but as we climbed, it just kept going at a steep incline. This race was more of a run/walk/hike up and level out run for a mile on the Mullan trail, and a fast run coming strait down again. The director called it a lollipop course. The only disappointment I had on this race is we did not run along the lake at all. But I am so glad I finished, and now I am off to race number 3.
The other thing I love about running in these parks is to learn about the history and how they became state parks and why. I always take my family hiking and to the visiting center to learn about the locals. At this park The local Native tribe still plants and harvests water potatoes from the lake. In fact you can see the potatoes in this pic and how they have them in rows that their boats will fit through when its time to harvest.

A Mom Has Been Charged With Child Abuse For Making Her Son Drink Hot Sauce. Is This Woman Insane?
A mother of six is being charged with child abuse for forcing her child to drink hot sauce as a form of punishment.
Jessica Beagley is in a heap of trouble for making her 7-year-old son drink hot sauce and take a freezing cold shower because he'd misbehaved. Her 10-year-old daughter caught it all on tape and it was featured on an episode Dr. Phil back in November. Now the mother of six has been charged with misdemeanor child abuse in Anchorage, Alaska. HollyMoms, do you consider this to be child abuse?
Now that she is facing child abuse charges, her defense attorney Bill Ingaldson tells The Today Show that Jessica regrets sending in the video, explaining that she was looking for advice on disciplining her misbehaving child. Now, Jessica will learn her own lesson about punishment.
Baby drowns while his mom is busy on Facebook
On the show Jessica told Dr. Phil McGraw she had trouble disciplining her adopted Russian son Kristoff, 7, who has a twin, Kolya. "We've tried a lot of different things to punish the kids," she says on the show, admitting she's angry at the boy all the time, screams at him, puts hot sauce in his mouth and places him in a cold shower when he acts up. Her home video brought many audience members to tears, according to the Dr. Phil website.
RHNY's Jill Zarin speaks out against spanking
"We have to distinguish between discipline and punishment, this is punishment and torture," Dr. Janet Taylor tells Today's Matt Lauer. Pediatrician Dr. Alanna Levine adds to that sentiment, saying, "This is completely inappropriate. It is terrible for the child being punished and for the older children in the home, as well, witnessing it."
This dad 'waterboarded' his baby!
HollyMoms, have you tried this hot sauce technique? Even actor turned author Lisa Whelchel promotes the hot sauce method in her book Creative Correction, saying that it is a great way to keep kids in line. Personally, I feel that this punishment is cruel and unacceptable. What do you think?

The Italian Alps are distinct from the French peaks to the west, the Austrian and Swiss mountains to the north and the Dolomites to the east. The region around Bormio holds three of European cycling's giant passes: the Mortirolo, the Gavia and the biggest of them all, the Stelvio. At a whopping 2,757 metres above sea level, this is Italy's highest paved pass, and second only to the Col de la Bonette in the whole alpine massif.
The GF Stelvio Santini offers one or two of these monsters, giving the finisher some serious bragging ability upon his or her return to humanity. The beginning of June is pretty early in the season to come this high, and poor weather is more than a possibility. You need to like it difficult to enjoy this event, but if that's what turns you on, this is a significant feather in any cyclists's cap, and a great opportunity to bag three icons in one ride.
A serious event for serious riders, but the reward for completing it is immense.
One of the world's best mountains. The Stelvio is tough at any time, doing it after the Teglio & Mortirolo is heroic!
Bormio, the host town for this event, is tough to get to (almost a 3 hour transfer from Milan) so make the most of your visit to this cycling spot by riding the other classic climbs the days before on our guided warm up rides. The Gavia is 25km and tops out well over 2,500m - anywhere else in the world this would be the feature climb. We also take in Bormio 2000, Cancano & ride parts of the route.
Our base is the pretty spa town of Bormio. Have a drink with cyclists from around the world or check out the famous hot springs. A great town to relax after a tough ride.
A chance to climb the Stelvio and Mortirolo in one epic ride! There is something for everyone with 3 routes available. With some beautiful warm up rides and the Spa town of Bormio to enjoy this promises to be an unforgettable weekend.
Arrival day. Transfers leave Milan Linate (LIN) at 11.30, please arrange flights to arrive at least 30 minutes before this. The drive is approx 3 hours to Bormio. Our mechanic is on hand to build bikes before we take a short (25km) spin to Bormio 2000
Warm up ride: after breakfast we offer two warm up ride options:
One - The classic Mortirolo / Gavia loop. You have two options on the Mortirolo, the "easy side" (14km at 8%) from Grosio or the hard way up from Mazzo.
Two - Livigno out and back, 75km up and over two climbs. A great warm up ride but not as tough as the first option.
A shorter warm up ride to the mini Stelvio - the Cancano. After the ride we collect race packs and prepare for the Granfondo.
Granfondo day! Early breakfast and then it's you vs the Stelvio (and Mortirolo).
Departure day. We leave Bormio at 12pm to get back to Milan Linate at 3pm. Please arrange a flight 2 hours after 3pm.
There are three routes for the sportive each finishing with the climb of the Stelvio. The short route is 60km - a short spin down the valley and then a long climb. The medium route includes the Teglio climb as part of a 120km there and back before the last climb and the long route, 151km, includes the Mortirolo and a long drag back to Bormio before the the Stelvio.
Choose the Route
Ride Distance: 151
Elevation gain: 4058
Ride Distance: 138
Elevation gain: 3053
Ride Distance: 60
Elevation gain: 1950
The sportive is based in Bormio. The most common way of getting there is flying to Milan (either Malpensa or Linate) and driving three hours to Bormio. Transfers are available. The other option is to break up your journey and spend a couple of days in Lake Como taking in some of the great riding there. Check out our dual location packages.
Race packs can be picked up on the morning of the event and for the two days before at the Palazzo del Ghiaccio in Bormio.
The sportive starts at 7am with grids opening from 6.15am in central Bormio. The finish is at the top of the Stelvio where you can collect your bag and add layers before the descent back to Bormio.
All packages include return transfers from Milan, sportive entry, daily warm up rides and mechanic support.

Twenty-two talented authors are participating in the Grace Filled Christmas Blog Tour, sponsored by the Grace Awards. These writers have a great love for Christmas and would like to share with the public their thoughts about what inspires them and their Christmas memories.
BJ ROBINSON (WHISPERING CYPRESS, SOUTHERN SUPERSTITIONS, ONE RAINY SUMMER, romantic suspense chock full of southern charm)
Grace Awards: Have you ever had to handle a significant loss during the holidays? How did you cope?
BJ: Before I was even old enough to read, Momma had me hooked on fairytales. She bought a new one for me each month out of the small social-security check she received after my father's death. She would rock me to sleep reading my favorite fairytales each night. I loved The Glass Mountain, Cinderella, and Snow White. I was only four years old when my father died one cold Christmas Day in a charity hospital. Four years earlier, I had been born in a charity hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. We never had much, but I had not yet realized that. To me, before Daddy died, we had everything. The last memory of my father before the Christmas he died runs through my mind often. One sunny day daddy and I strolled down Pine Street on our way to the grocery. As we passed Richardson's Hardware, my eyes caught a little pink wringer-type washing machine in the showcase window. I tugged at dad's jacket and pointed, "Look, Daddy! It's a little pink washing machine just like Momma's big machine. Oh, Daddy, can I get it to wash my doll's clothes? It's so cute. It looks just like Momma's big white washer." He told me, "Not today, but who knows, Christmas is right around the corner and perhaps Santa heard you." I remember wishing Christmas would hurry up and come, not realizing that with it, my father would be lost to me forever. I grew up watching all the other children I knew with their fathers and yearning for mine. It was many years later before I realized I still had a heavenly Father, and He would never leave me alone. The first time I had to handle a significant loss during the holidays was the loss of my father as a child. As an adult, I didn't lose my mother and youngest sister at Christmas, but I lost them both a mere six years apart and Christmas has never been the same without them.
Grace Awards: Tell us about your fondest Christmas memory?
BJ: One of my fondest memories centers around a Christmas my husband and I traveled to Louisiana and stayed in our camper in my daughter's front yard. I had all my children together for Christmas that year, and it was such fun. My husband shot fireworks, my son fried a turkey, and my daughter made dressing and all the trimmings. It will be a memory forever etched in my heart when I remember a favorite family Christmas. It wasn't the presents, but the people that made it so special. I thank God for those sweet, precious memories. I just want to add that I'm thrilled to be a part of this fabulous showcase of twenty-five talented authors, ones I love to read myself. I want to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my readers, Facebook friends, and family. As we remember the reason for the season, may God bless you and yours with a heart-warming, safe holiday season.
BJis a multi-published, prize-winning author who writes from Florida where she lives with her husband, two dogs, and a cat. She has authored four novels as well as numerous poems, short stories, essays, and devotionals. She is blessed with children and grandchildren, and Jesus is her best friend. http://barbarajrobinson.blogspot.com.

CAROLE TOWRISS (SHADOW OF SINAI, hope amidst despair, trust in the face of terror, and a love that binds)
Grace Awards: Tell us about your fondest Christmas memory?
Carole: My oldest daughter was born on Christmas Eve. The year before we had lost a baby on Christmas Eve after just a couple weeks. We'd been trying for eight years. That was quite a wallop, and a difficult holiday. For a few days I wasn't even sure I could hold onto my faith. But Emma Noelle came three weeks early to be born exactly one year later. At the candlelight service they announced she'd been born at noon and everyone cheered because they'd all been praying for so many years. We took her home on Christmas Day. They even gave us a baby-sized stocking. She is a living, breathing reminder of God's faithfulness, and the best Christmas present I ever had! She'll be nineteen this year and is studying for a BFA in photography.
Grace Awards: What is your favorite Christmas carol and why? Do you have a favorite performing artist who sings that song?
Carole: "O Holy Night." It's my absolute favorite by far it because it embodies the real meaning, the purpose of Christmas. "It is the night of our dear Savior's birth. Fall on your knees!" Without Christmas, there is nothing else—no life, no salvation, no redemption, no forgiveness, nothing. No Easter! I listen to it over and over all during the season until my kids get really annoyed! I love it by any singer—I have ten different versions on my iPhone. That being said, my favorite is Gary Chapman's.
Bio: Carole Towriss grew up in beautiful San Diego, California. Now she and her husband live just north of Washington, DC. In between making tacos and telling her four children to pick up their shoes for the third time, she reads, writes, watches chick flicks and waits for summertime to return to the beach. www.caroletowriss.com

JEAN THOMPSON KINSET (SECRETS OF WILLOW SHADE, THE LIGHT KEEPER'S DAUGHTER, whether it's a contemporary or historical novel, it's the warmth of family in rural Kentucky)
Grace Awards: Tell us about your fondest Christmas memory?
Jean: One of my fondest memories dates back to 1946, when I was six-years-old. Traditionally, we received a gift from Momma and Daddy separately from Santa. Living in the country, as we did, it was a real treat to go to the movies and buy that wonderful, delicious, buttered popcorn. So when Momma asked what I wanted from her for Christmas, I said, "All the movie popcorn I can eat." Daddy insisted day-old popcorn was not what I really wanted for Christmas. Maybe a pretty doll would be better. Christmas morning, after Santa's gifts were opened, Daddy said excitedly, "Here's my gift." The tobacco crop had been good that year, and he could afford a nice present. Then Momma calmly said, "Here's mine." You should have seen my daddy's long face when I sped past a big beautiful, curly-haired, baby doll to dig into Momma's humongous bag of cold, buttered, movie popcorn. That was the best popcorn I ever tasted, especially at the break of dawn on Christmas morning. Sometimes I think back to those days and wonder why I ask for so much today, when it took so little to satisfy me then.
Grace Awards: What does keeping the true spirit of Christmas alive mean to you?
Jean: When I hear bells jingling, my spirits soar at this joyous season. When accepting a nicely wrapped package, I am aware of the Ultimate Gift I've already received. The pretty, twinkling lights remind me of the star that led the wise men to Jesus. Christmas carols make me think of the angels heralding the news of the King. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."( Luke 2:14 kjv) I cannot do away with the commercialism, the greed and the coveting that surround us during this holy season, but I keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart when I allocate His love to others. When I help someone in need, I share God's generous spirit. Sometimes a smile might be all that's required. Other times I may have to dig deeper and give generously. By sharing Christ Jesus, I keep His spirit alive throughout this hallowed time of year. I sincerely wish everyone a "Merry Christmas."
Jean Thompson Kinsey lived in rural Kentucky until she married in 1960. She has lived near Louisville, KY since then. Jean loves to travel. She and her husband, Glen, explored the back roads of many states of the U.S. and Canada in their motorhome until she was widowed in 2005, at which time she expanded her hobby of writing. Jean teaches adult Sunday school at her church. She is the mother of three, the grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of two. http://kystorywriter.blogspot.com/

text: Trump Taunts Enemies in New Year Message He sends love to those who 'fought me and lost so badly' By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Dec 31, 2016 8:19 AM CST 722 comments Fireworks explode off Auckland's Sky Tower as the new year is welcomed to New Zealand, Jan 1, 2017. (Peter Meecham/New Zealand Herald via AP) View 1 more image (Newser) – Donald Trump has decided to finish off his momentous 2016 by taunting his enemies. "Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do," the president-elect tweeted early Saturday. "Love!" The Hill notes that Trump has long made a habit of using dates like New Year, Thanksgiving, and even 9/11 to send messages to those he calls "haters and losers." Politico reports that Trump will welcome 2017 at a $525-a-head party at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. A Trump spokesman says guests at the sold-out event will include Sylvester Stallone and Quincy Jones. (On Friday, Trump praised Vladimir Putin as "very smart.")

Thanks Monty.Northern Ohio trumps Texas and Manhattan here. Reasserts Fourth Amendment and attacks colonial British seizures! All about Treasury campaign against charities, mostly linked to Hamas.
Hubris….but I'm sure we shouldnt giggle…
Thanks again to Monty for this…Just when was the war on drugs won, exactly?Note that in 2007 Chinese bank notes carried no traces, but in 2008, traces were found. This will make iy difficult toprove where drug traces on a defendant actually originated.
Is this the legacy of Ruth Kelly or Hazel Blears? Remember the past two community secretaries? On the other hand, what is wrong with "building resilience to violent extremism". Someone in the article suggests it is difficult to measure compliance…Hmmm. Not beyond the wit of person, I surmise! All funding maybe shouldnt be under the "Prevent" agenda, though. There should be some funding for the alleviation of derpivation under other programmes…and surely there is?? Dont worry, the change of government will be sweeping all this stuff away shortly.
There are some stats in this piece from Le Monde [in French, of course]. 40% 0f 17 year olds have smoked cannabis at least once. Cocaine use has risen from 0.9% to 3.3% and and amphetamine use from 1% to 2.7% between 2000 and 2008. Price data given too.
I should really be quoting from a German newspaper, but this is from La Reppublica, suggesting a group of converts to Islam of German origin has been seen on video training in al Qaeda camps. The videos are linked from the article.
Telegraph article on same story as previous post. Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has been recruiting in Germany. Story apparently goes back as far as May this year.
I'm sorry, but that isnt what the figures say. 2,692 people sought help for cocaine addiction in 2007-8, while 9,632 sought it for crack and heroin. The figures showa decline in crack and heroin abuse and a rise in cocaine abuse, but there were still more than 3 times as many crack and heroin users seeking help. The headline writer needs to read the article him or herself.
Lucy Faithfull Foundation estimate…but remember these groups have an interest in giving a high figure. Anyone out there have figures for other European countries? They suspect 320,000 paedophiles in UK, but there are only 32,000 names on sex offenders register. Newspapers love this sort of stuff. Classic moral panic. How are figures estimated? There are 56 female offenders in custody. It may be true it may be not, but until we see the methodology, it is difficult to comment.
There really is no honour among theives, it would appear. Lurid tales.

The towns charming feel is probably the very best attraction of Hua Hin. Listed here are the very best 10 things to do in Hua Hin.
Maruekhathaiyawan Palace (Cha-Am)
This season seaside palace like a lot of Hua Hin was constructed in early 1920s during King Rama VIs reign.

Besides the crafts market, you will also look for a beer garden, art gallery, and live music.
Khao Takiab
In Prachuab Kirikhan province, Khao Takiab is among the greatest attractions. A translation of Khao Takiab is Chopstick Mountain but you might hear people think of it as Monkey Mountain due to the monkeys that reside upon it. The Mountain also houses a hilltop temple with amazing views of Hua Hin. A big bell sits at the start of the hike around the temple then a flight of stairs towards the main shrine forming a pagoda-like structure.
Santorini park Cha-Am
Santorini Park succeeds in bringing a piece of the gorgeous Greek Island to Cha-Am.

Those who do take the time get to like a stunning view resembling something out from a scene inside an Indiana Jones movie. The cave is positioned inside the Khao Sam Roi Yot National park, which is actually a 45-minute drive south of Hua Hin. To achieve the cave you first of all must drive to some small village of Bang Pu sitting from the beach and from there you are able to take a boat or trek. The trek is 30 minutes above the hill which leads to the Laem Sala beach.
Black Mountain Water Park
Black Mountain Water Park promises to offer a fun-filled day for anybody looking to get a major splash including families. This park has 9 different water slides, beach pool, lazy river, kids pool, a wave pool, plus much more. Every one of these are set on the vast mountain hugging landscape that fronts a guy-made lake about 10 km north of Hua Hin. Exactly the same people behind the Black Mountain Golf Course are the types that own and manage this type of water park and is particularly the highest attraction in their portfolio. It can be situated opposite the golf course, with a local road passing through Baan Silapin and Wat Huay Mongkol.
Plearn Wan Shopping Village
This themed shopping complex is positioned not faraway from Klai Kang Won Palace. It unique brown wooden building has multiple shops, a caf้, and guestrooms all decorated in 1960s Thai style. The complex is open daily for dining and shopping from about 10:00.

An awesome selection of seafood restaurants line the street that hosts the evening Market and draw a lot of attention in the visitors.
Hua Hin Railway Station
The Hua Hin Railway station was constructed during the reign of King Rama VI. It is just a short distance from the centre of town. The railway station combined with the adjacent royal waiting room are indisputably beautiful.

Cashmere Residency Program
The Cashmere Residency Program began as a means for the station to work with talented musicians, artists, producers and thinkers in developing unique radiophonic works. Throughout the course of the month-long residencies, groups or individuals develop work(s) that exhibit radiophonic merit, with an accompanying live presentation, performance or demonstration that reflects the period of research and development. The residency attempts to further radiophonic practice by putting the medium of radio—its history, its premises and its contemporary operations—into question with the hope that new concepts of radio can be constructed and transmitted.
The project was made possible with the kind support of Musicboard Berlin. The program was inaugurated with a residency by Catriona Shaw with further work to be undertaken by musician Caterina Barbieri.

"To the extent that I've made a contribution, it's been to have people realize that AIDS is about all of us. It's not really about gay white men or IV drug users or babies. It's not about certain groups. It's about all of us, really, and it always was." Belinda Mason
A native of eastern Kentucky, Belinda Mason was, as she says, "a small town journalist, a young mother, a reliable Tupperware party guest" until she became infected with the HIV virus in 1987. She decided to go public with her condition and spent the rest of her life as a powerful advocate for AIDS prevention, education, treatment, and human rights.
In this program, Belinda talks about her own experiences dealing with AIDS and the support she found within her rural community: "AIDS is less about dying than about choosing how to live." Included is a presentation she made with her pastor to members of the Southern Baptist Convention: "People ask me if I think AIDS is a punishment from God. I can't pretend to fathom what God is thinking, but maybe we should look at AIDS as a test, not for the people who are infected, but for the rest of us." Belinda also comments on her role and responsibilties as a national spokesperson for people with AIDS, saying "One Bush Administration insider, when asked to explain the President's decision to bestow a coveted seat on the National Commission on AIDS on me, observed that I was 'palatable' like mashed potatoes and gravy." Funny, down to earth, and never self pitying, Belinda speaks with a moving eloquence of our need for a collective response to AIDS which is not crippled by racism, homophobia, fear or ignorance.
"Belinda Mason's warmth, wisdom, and determination has provided us with a legacy that should inspire us for decades to come. One of the many powerful insights she left us was that, in contrast to excessive and unreasonable fear of HIV, we should all be worried about losing our humanity by failing to respond, for, as Belinda said, 'In all of human history, there has never been a cure for that.'" Dr. June Osborn, Chairperson, National Commission on AIDS
"Belinda the AIDS activist, Belinda the healer, Belinda the talker, Belinda the narrator of this program, invites people to be open and unafraid and then demands, in her undemanding way, that they do the right thing." Kate Black, AIDS activist, Lexington, Kentucky

"Belinda" is a film of extraordinary grace…not about persons with AIDS, it is fundamentally about what it means to be human and what it takes for a society and a church to remain human." Malcolm Warford, President/Bangor Theological Seminary
"…Anne Lewis has produced her most powerful and important documentary yet. "Belinda" speaks eloquently for a generation of HIV infected people.

Hey Everyone!!
It's Kristy here from Scraptastical Kreations and I'm sharing with all of you a "manly" birthday card. I needed a manly birthday card for the Hub's upcoming birthday, and like many, I always struggle to hand make the manly type of birthday cards, but I have one today!
For this card I used the Black and Kraft Timeless Twine and I wrapped the twine around a piece of cardstock to make myself a background out of twine instead of patterned paper. The stamps are from Jaded Blossom.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my card today. I hope everyone has a twine-tastic day!!

Note: Based on more detailed data available regarding teacher pay schedules, it is possible that the Governor's plan could cost $312 million. By including all university personnel in the state employee figure, the cost would grow to $334 million. See the table provided below with explanation.
The key question that the Governor had to answer today went unanswered. How will he pay for the critical investments he proposes in teachers and the classroom?
With revenues coming in under projections in the current fiscal year (and next fiscal year as well) and with the increasing likelihood that costs of the tax plan are actually even greater than revised projections suggest, the Governor has just proposed either to make the structural budget deficit in the state much bigger or to slash other critical services to fund public education.
Here is the basic math.
- The Governor has proposed to make investments in teacher pay and classrooms that total roughly $280 million. These are recurring expenses and will impact the state budget in future years.
- The Governor has suggested in the past that there is $600 million available for this investment. However, there is no sustainable revenue source available given what we know about revenue collections now and in the future. This suggests that there would need to be cuts to other areas of the budget to make these investments, a move that would not allow the state to achieve its goals. After all children need to be healthy to learn, and need to have safe neighborhoods to thrive, and need to have the opportunity to continue their learning at the state's institution of higher learning whether they choose community colleges or a public university.
- There could be some money from reversions or other one-time sources but these would not provide the sustained revenue to support this kind of investment.
The Governor said that these investments will be a priority above all other new spending or tax cuts in 2016. But what about tax cuts in 2015? There could be $300 million available if the proposed rate reductions to the personal income tax and corporate income tax don't go into effect as scheduled.
It, of course, also seems the fiscally responsible thing to do to assess the entire tax plan including the elimination of the graduated rate structure for the personal income tax and the corporate income tax rate cut that occurred without closing a significant number of loopholes.
Putting forward a proposal that costs $280 million should require a careful accounting of whether the funds will be there to sustain that investment in the current year and future years. It appears, however, that fiscal responsibility is not the path North Carolina policymakers have chosen to tread.

A fuse is a safety device that is added to an electrical circuit to prevent excessive current flow. It has the same function as a circuit breaker. However , a fuse must be replaced once it melts (blows). A circuit breaker can be reset after it trips.
Electric symbol for fuse
Fuse is connected to the live wire. It consists of a short piece of thin wire. In the event of an electrical fault, when a current that exceeds its fuse rating flows through, it heats up and melts (fuse blows). When the fuse blows, the electrical appliance is disconnected from the high potential of the live wire (usually 240 V). Hence it protects the appliance and the user.
The choice of fuse is always slightly higher than the actual current flowing through the appliance, and it has to be a whole number. Typical household fuses off the shelves are rated at 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 5 A, 10 A and 13 A. But in theory, we just state a fuse which is slightly higher and is a whole number.

Trusted Monroeville dating service, Pittsburgh Singles, has made dating in Monroeville easier than ever!

- Friendly
- Collaborative
- Attentive
- Facilitative
- Focused
- Gentle
- Outcome-Driven
- Helpful
- Practical
- Mature
- Playful
- Engaging
- Non-Judgemental
- Self-Reflecting
- Friendly
When you walk into a meeting and you feel like you are welcome and feel excited about being there, the facilitator has probably played a key role in creating that atmosphere. It's as though you feel like you're being welcomed into their home.
- Collaborative
Facilitators use their body language, tone of voice, word choice and they arrange the room to create a business-like, yet living-room atmosphere that helps everyone to engage in the meeting. This style creates an air of active involvement to achieve the meeting's desired outcomes. It creates a collaborative learning environment.
- Attentive
An effective facilitator continually learns how to see, hear and feel the interpersonal dynamics in the room. They watch body language and tone of voice. They also watch how listeners react to other speaker's information. They watch for patterns and dances of behavior.
- Facilitative
They know how to use facilitative tools without over-using them. They realize that the use of these tools is the "means" and not the "end." They don't attempt to facilitate the process perfectly; rather, they maintain focus on achieving the meeting's outcome.
- Focused
They know they only have to stay one "mental" step ahead of the participants. They are continually asking themselves "what's next" and "how will we get from here to the desired outcome and beyond?" This is strategic thinking and strategic facilitation.
- Gentle
When there's tension or conflict in the room, they don't avoid it. They gently move towards it by safely reflecting back to the participants what they see going on. They look at the choices being made by the participants. They listen for key points being made and they reflect them back. This is a summarizing skill, which is a very important trait. They do this reflecting in such a palatable way that the participants are not only willing to resolve the situation they see the necessity for doing it.
- Outcome-Driven
They will use the agenda, particularly the meeting's desired outcome, to keep the discussions on track. They keep the outcome firmly implanted in their minds and they use it as their communication screen. They're constantly asking themselves how the current discussion relates to the overall desired outcome. If it relates, they stay out of the way and let the participants do their work. If the conversation is off track, they interrupt and ask "how does this information help achieve our desired outcome?"
- Helpful
They don't ask people to blindly accept the meeting's desired outcomes; rather, they ask participants "what's in it for them" (WIIFM's) to achieve the meeting's outcomes. Then they work with everyone to synergize their WIIFM's. For important meetings this is done before the meeting, not during.
- Practical
While planning an important meeting, they will ask themselves what could possibly go wrong. They know there are two kinds of barriers: processes and people. They identify those barriers; they plan ways to prevent them and they also plan how they will intervene if the preventions don't work.
- Mature
Successful facilitators are true to themselves; they improve and grow their personal facilitation styles. They don't try to mimic other successful facilitators. They find their own voice. They know that there is no one right way to facilitate.
- Playful
They never use humor at anyone's expense even though they are humorous at times.
- Engaging
They look for and take opportunities to get participants into action which often times means getting participants to do something with their entire bodies not just their minds.
- Non-Judgmental
Successful facilitators will step down from that position when they know they can't let go of their beliefs and values in order to facilitate objectively. Effective facilitators don't have to be neutral. They share their opinions without directing and they offer their critical-thinking skills to help the group make the best decision.
- Self-Reflecting
Successful facilitators ask themselves these honest questions:
- Do I understand the outcome from the stakeholders' perspectives?
- Have I done my homework and am I prepared for the unexpected?
- If people get upset or things seem to go wrong in the meeting, do I have a pre-determined set of values and principles to guide my choices and interaction?
- When they answer yes, they know they're ready.

I'm going to be honest here: my husband suffers from a debilitating disorder called hangriness. I'm sure you've heard the term hangry before; it's when you are so hungry you become angry. When he was taking my pictures last night he was hurrying me along so he could go get some grub. We shot in the last few minutes of daylight, so I am in love with lighting in these pictures. Too bad my enjoyment of the sunset was drowned out by my husband's stomach gurgles!

ashington: The US government purchased "a tool" from a private third party to unlock the iPhone used by a Pakistani-American shooter involved in the San Bernardino terror attack, according to FBI director James Comey.
"Litigation between the government and Apple over the San Bernardino phone has ended, because the government has purchased, from a private party, a way to get into that phone, 5C, running iOS 9," Comey said.
Law enforcement officials said last month that they had finally cracked the iPhone 5C used by Syed Farook. After the case was dropped, speculation swirled as analysts tried to identify the third party that helped the government. The FBI chief said the tool worked only on a "narrow slice of phones" that does not include the newest Apple models, or the 5S. Comey said the government was currently considering whether to tell Apple how it pulled off the hack. pti

If perchance you happen to be thinking of a honeymoon in South Africa, then Tinga Lodge won't disappoint. A honeymoon safari is supposed to be extravagant and there is nothing at Tinga Lodge that falls short of that expectation.
Safari Review | Tinga Lodge, Kruger National Park, South Africa
By Carrie Hampton
Experience the Tinga GrandeurA thatched cathedral-like entrance greets you at Tinga Lodge, which befits this safari lodge's grand and sumptuous design mix of Afro-colonial and classic gentleman's club. This is achieved with mounted antelope horns, Persian rugs, fine African antiquities and dark leather sofas contrasting with light, wicker terrace chairs.
The whole effect is striking yet understated. Design features are not limited to the interiors: rendered walls around the lodge incorporate African swirls into the plasterwork and a beautifully packed dry-stone wall surrounds the outdoor dining boma.
A larger than life experienceEverything seems bigger here - the swimming pool, the wooden dining deck, the suites with king-size beds and private terraces with plunge pools, and the views from every part of the lodge out across the Sabi River and into the Kruger National Park bushveld. Everything has been thought about and then doubled!
Exclusive ServiceWith only nine luxury suites, the level of service for the lodge's maximum of eighteen guests is of the highest order. A simple smile from friendly staff starts the day well, but a massage with river stones followed by an exquisitely prepared lunch cannot fail to make your day.Visit Tinga Lodge.

Spuds, Starches, Tubers, Taters — Nothing More Nor Less
November 3, 2015
Homo sapiens are the only species to suffer psychological exile.
~E.O. Wilson, myrmecologist
Perhaps, let us not eat mammals (or even fishes) today, this evening, tonight or perhaps tomorrow and well, likely even later. Our lands, seas and oceans deserve better. Moderation is always the byword.
I may be misinformed, but it seems like ants and humans are the only species that conduct warfare, even enduring certain death. Of course, it does not hurt to have the dismal trio of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald H. Rumsfeld at the helm with their bellicose rhetoric. Guaranteed war in foreign lands — there is nothing like that careless and doddering blend of arrogance and ignorance. Just ask W's dutiful own dad.
This is simple, and yet so delectable, fare.
2 lbs or so, Yukon Golds or golden butts (an intriguing irony)
Cold water, to cover
Sea salt
1/4 C or less extra virgin olive oil
3-4 plump, fresh garlic cloves, minced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves, stems discarded
1-2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves, stems discarded
Chives, chopped
Bring a large pot of generously salted water place in potatoes and boil. Cook until barely fork tender, then drain through a colander.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a heavy skillet until shimmering, add minced garlic and rosemary and thyme, sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
When the garlic is barely cooked, add drained potatoes to the olive oil and smash.
Serve sprinkled with chopped fresh chives.
The Basics — Potatoes 2.0
October 3, 2015
A potato expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
~Victor Hugo
Dill (Anethum graveolens) is a faintly anise flavored herb in the family Umbelliferae which includes carraway, cumin, and fennel, et al. Growing annually from 16″-24″ it has hollow stems and delicate, wispy leaves, demanding hot summers and lofty sunshine with well drained fertile soil.
Containing no cholesterol and low in calories, dill is rich in volatile oils as well as folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin A, ß carotene, and vitamin C. This is not to mention that dill contains minerals like copper, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Dill's benefits also come from two types of healing components — monoterpenes, such as carvone, limonene, and anethofuran and flavonoids, such as kaempferol and vicenin. Needless to say, dill herb is one of the most healthy, functional foods in the chain.
Too bad dill is not consumed for these reasons in this house — scents and sapidity rule — apparently though, the benefits come from the back side. Nevertheless, both "recipes" are darlings of our kitchen…simple starch staples yet glorious (good) grub.
1 lb various hued small, new potatoes ("B" size)
1 T sea salt
4 T (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
2 plump, fresh garlic cloves, minced
Dill leaves, fresh and chopped, in amounts to your liking (or rosemary leaves)
Truffle and salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a medium to large heavy pot, combine hand culled potatoes. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 1″ and set the pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, add salt, then reduce to a vigorous simmer. Cook potatoes just until fork tender, about 20 minutes, depending upon size.
Add butter and garlic to the pot and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, swirling the pan and basting as needed so that the until the potatoes are well glazed, about 5 minutes.
Tear the dill leaves, and with the pot off the heat, stir them gently into the potatoes. Add truffle and sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste and serve next to resting grilled or roasted meats, greens of choice and some more unsalted butter on the table in a ramekin.
4 large baking potatoes, such as russets
4 T unsalted butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sour cream or crème fraîche
Gruyère cheese (optional)
Dill leaves, fresh and chopped (optional)
Lardons (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 F
Scrub potatoes with a brush under running, cold water, then dry well. So they do not explode in the oven, pierce the skin of each in three places with a fork.
Place the potatoes in the oven, and roast for about 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they are fork tender.
Remove from the oven taking care not to burn fingers, slice them open down the middle, and slather with butter and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Again, put some more unsalted butter on the table for those who wish to partake.
Squab(s) + Some Words on Dark vs. White
November 8, 2014
A man must keep his mouth open a long while before a roast pigeon flies into it.
~Danish proverb
Le grand débat: white or dark?
Dark meat is composed of muscle fibers that are termed "slow-twitch." These muscles contract slowly and are used for extended periods of activity, such as casual walking, thus needing a consistent energy source. The hemoprotein myoglobin stores oxygen in muscle cells, which then uses this oxygen to extract the energy needed for endurance and slower repetitive activity. A strongly pigmented protein, the more cellular myoglobin that exists, the darker the meat and the richer in nutrient levels.
Dark meat is flusher than white in minerals such as iron, zinc and selenium, as well as vitamins A, K and the B complex — B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) B6, B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin). Taurine is also found abundantly in dark meat — a nutrient known to aid in anti-inflammation, blood pressure regulation, healthy nerve function, and the production of bile acid (which breaks down fat).
Myoglobin's color varies depending on the meat's internal temperature. For instance, with rare beef, the myoglobin's red color remains unchanged. But, above 140 F, myoglobin loses its ability to bind oxygen, and the iron atom at the center of its molecular structure loses an electron, forming a tan-hued compound called hemichrome. Then, when the interior of the meat reaches 170 F, hemichrome levels rise, creating that characteristic brownish gray metmyoglobin often seen on shoe soles.
White meat is comprised of "fast-twitch" muscle fibers which contract swiftly and are used for rapid bursts of activity, such as jumping or sprinting, and so absorb energy from stored glycogen, a multibranched saccharide of glucose residues. When raw, white meat has a translucent look. When cooked, the proteins denature and recombine, and the meat becomes opaque and whitish to sight. It is admittedly lower in saturated fat and calories, so it has been promoted as the healthier alternative even though white meat has fewer nutrients than dark, is more difficult to digest and contains no taurine. Often obscenely slim on taste, diners often compensate for the dryness and whiteness with sauces, gravies or dressings which render white meat more fatty and less nutritious in the long run.
So, the process of deciding between dark and white will likely prove an alimental impasse. Aromas and flavors should reign instead, and you likely know where my vote lies. By all means though, of course, please make your own call (without presenting ID).
On to the birds. Squabs are simply fledgling domesticated pigeons, typically dressed about four weeks after hatching and even before they even have flown. Thus, they are much easier to snatch before slaughter. They have been bred for centuries, dating back to early Asian and Arabic cultures and now are found on tables across the globe. The term derives from the Scandinavian svkabb which means "loose or fat flesh," as squabs are dark, tender and moist — often almost silky to the palate.
Damned delectable, dark and sensual critters.
2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into sixths
4 squabs, about 3/4 lbs each
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 bay leaves
4 large, plump garlic cloves, peeled and slightly smashed
4 T unsalted butter, softened
1/2 T coriander seeds, roasted and ground
4 medium turnips, peeled and halved
4 parsnips, peeled and cut into large chunks
4 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 T olive oil
4 T red wine, such as a zinfandel or burgundy
2 T cognac or brandy
1/2 C chicken broth
2 T butter
Preheat oven to 450 F.
Season the cavities of the squabs with salt and pepper. Inside each, place a sprig of thyme, a sprig of rosemary, a bay leaf and a clove of garlic. On the outside, rub with softened butter and season with salt, pepper and coriander. Tie legs together with kitchen twine so they do not spread.
Put squabs in a large, heavy roasting pan, breast side up. Strew the turnips, parsnips, carrots and apples around them. Brush the turnips, parsnips and carrots with olive oil. Cook 15-20 minutes, basting the squabs and vegetables fairly often with juices and turn the vegetables at least once.
Remove the apples, set them aside in a bowl and keep warm by loosely tenting with foil. Add the wine and chicken broth. Cook 10 minutes longer, basting often and occasionally scraping the bottom of the pan. The birds should be cooked slightly pink in thickest part of the thigh, about 130-145 F with a meat thermometer. Please beware that if squab is cooked beyond medium rare, the flesh becomes overly dry and the flavor livery. Overturn a soup bowl and place under one end of a platter or cutting board so it is inclined.
Lift the squabs with a carving fork at an angle and allow the juices to flow into the pan. Remove and discard the herbs and garlic cloves. Put squabs on the tilted serving platter or cutting board breast sides down and tails in the air, loosely tented.
Meanwhile, place the roasting pan on top of the stove. Bring the sauce beginnings to a simmer, add the cognac and then the butter, and blend together, stirring with a wooden spatula and scraping. Add some chicken broth and cook further. With a slotted spoon, remove the turnips, parsnips and carrots and place in a tented glass bowl.
Cut twine, and only if desired, carve the squabs in halves and serve with turnips, parsnips, carrots, apples and bathed lightly in sauce. Accompany the squabs with puréed or smashed potatoes or polenta or rice pilaf and a green du jour.
Pourboire: Other methods that come to mind would be to braise the squabs in wine and broth or place the squabs first on their sides and cook in a sauté pan, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 15 minutes and then turn squabs breast up and transfer to the oven, roasting for only 5 minutes or so.
Pot-Au-Feu vs. Phở nạm bo: Distant Cousins?
October 7, 2014
The only difference between (people) all the world over is one of degree, and not of kind, even as there is between trees of the same species. Wherein is the cause for anger, envy or discrimination?
~Mahatma Gandhi
Pot-au-feu translates as "pot on the fire," which is hearty French peasant fare. Granted, there is no raw beef, ginger, cardomom, cinnamon, mint, Thai chilies, basil, fish sauce, noodles (banh pho) or differing condiments and sauces as are found in phở (See February 3, 2009). Also, those seductive noodle sucking sounds are sadly lacking in pot-au-feu. But, given their culinary roots, cultural links, and France's occupancy, colonization and even decimation of the Vietnamese peoples (preceded by China, followed by Japan and then the US) — it would not be surprising if feu slowly morphed into phở. Both words seem suspiciously harmonious to the ear. However, some etymologists dipute this assertion, especially given the stark culinary dissimilarities between the two dishes and due to some vague historical references.
1 lb beef shoulder or brisket
6 pieces of oxtail, cut 1 1/2″ thick
6 beef short ribs
1 veal shank, bone-in
6 whole cloves
2 onions, cut in halves
6 leeks, white part only
2 small celery roots, cut into quarters
2 medium turnips, cut into quarters
1 head garlic, cut transversely
4 medium carrots, cut into 4″ lengths
1 bouquet garni (2 sprig of flat parsley, 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, and 2 bay leaves, stringed together)
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
4 new red and white potatoes, peeled and cut in half
1 cabbage head, cored and cut into 7 wedges
1 baguette, sliced
Parmigiano-reggiano, grated
1/2 lb cornichons
1 C coarse sea salt
1 C hot Dijon mustard
In a large pot, combine the beef, oxtail, short ribs, and veal shank, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, and as soon as the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat. Set the meat aside and throw out the water. Clean the pot and then put the meat right back into the pot.
Push cloves into each onion half and add the onions to the pot, along with the leeks, celery roots, turnips, garlic, carrots, and bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper and cover with cold water.
Bring the pot to a slow simmer, gradually, and let cook over medium low heat until the meat is tender or around 2 1/2 hours. Skim the cooking liquid with a ladle periodically to remove scum and foam. Add the potatoes and cabbage and cook for an additional 30 minutes, until soft. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the beef (shoulder or brisket) from the pot and slice into thick pieces. Remove the veal shank from the pot and cut the meat off the bone, again into ample pieces. Retrieve the marrow from the veal bone.
Pour some broth into serving bowls along with grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese with thick slices of toasted baguette. Arrange the meats, marrow, and vegetables on a serving platter and ladle some cooking liquid over and around. Serve the rest in a sauce boat.
Put the cornichons, sea salt, and Dijon mustard into bowls on the table.
Pommes Duchesse (Duchesse Potatoes)
November 17, 2013
No matter how you prepare it, the root is tasteless and starchy. It cannot be regarded as an enjoyable food, but it provides abundant, reasonably healthy food for men who want nothing but sustenance.
~Denis Diderot, Encyclopedia (1751-1765)
So the tale goes…the potato, solanum tuberosum, a starchy, herbaceous, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade family indigenous to the Andes was brought from the New World to Europe by curious Spanish mariners around the second half of the 16th century. The origins of the potato can be traced to the highlands of the Andes mountains on the border between Bolivia and Peru around 8,000 BCE. The beginnings were far from humble as the Andes are the lengthiest mountain range on earth running some 5,500 miles with peaks exceeding 22,000 feet — an often harsh territory where temperatures fluctuate wildly, and which proves seismically intense, rift with geographic faults, earthquakes, mudslides, and often active volcanoes.
Somehow, the potato made it to French shores and burrowed inland, introduced to the Franche-Comté, the Vosges of Lorraine and Alsace. At first, the French were so suspicious that in 1748 the government issued an edict forbidding their growth, as it was foolishly rumored that potatoes caused leprosy in humans. Later, the tuber was allowed to be used only as animal fodder.
Enter Antoine-Augustin Parmentier (1737-1813), a trained French pharmacist and veteran of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) having been captured by the Prussians no less than five times. To most in North America this conflict is known only as the French and Indian War, but the strife was quite global in scope affecting Europe, North America, Central America, the West African coast, India, and the Philippines. France, Austria, Saxony, Sweden, and Russia were aligned on one side against Prussia, Hanover, and Great Britain and their respective overseas colonial territories on the other. In the end, Britain established as a distinct colonial power, with control over India and North America seemingly secured, while Prussia emerged as predominant force in Europe, and the preponderant voice within Germany. While imprisoned, Parmentier quietly subsisted on potatoes which led to his devotion to the spud as a staple for his homeland.
It should be remembered that regional and national French famines had become routine in the preceding centuries. The country simply could not feed itself. So, soon after he emerged from Prussian prison, Parmentier exalted the potato, laboriously aspiring to scrub the tot's bad pub. He wanted potatoes to become an integral part of the French food supply, a staple. He went on a barnstorming tour of sorts hosting dinners at which potato dishes were featured prominently and guests included such luminaries as Benjamin Franklin and Antoine Lavoisier. In Examen chymique des pommes de terres (1774), Parmentier touted the potato's prodigious nutritional prowess. About this time, some say that Marie Antoinette even adorned her hair with potato blossoms while her husband, Louis XVI, put one in his buttonhole as part of an attempt to persuade French farmers to plant and French diners to consume S.tuberosum. Other members of royalty and aristocratic wannabes followed suit, strutting about in tuberous bouquets. Finally, the Paris Faculty of Medicine declared that potatoes were edible.
This opened the French culinary sluices with such classics as pommes Anna, gratin dauphinois, pommes de terre sarladaises, pommes aligot(e), pommes de terre boulangère, pommes purée, etc. A recipe for pommes duchesse even appeared in a cookbook, La Nouvelle Cuisinière Bourgeoise in 1817.
(M. Parmentier was entombed in the renowned Cimetière du Père-Lachaise, and both a Parisian avenue in the 10th and 11th arrondissements and a station on the Paris Métro bear his name.)
Pommes Duchesse are simply an exalted spud rendition. They are dollops of mashed potatoes with butter, eggs, cream and nutmeg that are shaped in a way that resembles meringues. The textural variances are sublime. Once baked, the interiors of the potatoes remain soft and creamy, while the edges of the contoured tops become crispy.
2 1/2 lb russet potatoes
4 T unsalted butter, softened
2 egg yolks, plus 1 egg mixed with 1 t heavy cream, lightly beaten
1/2 t freshly grated nutmeg
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, whisked
Preheat oven to 400 F
Using a fork, prick potatoes all over and place on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 1-1 1/2 hours, allow to cool, then peel and pass through a food mill or ricer.
Mix potatoes, butter, yolks, egg, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a glass or metal bowl and transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 3/4″ star tip. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and working in a tight circular motion, pipe twelve 2 1/2″ in diameter rosettes — first fill the pastry bag in one corner with the riced potato mixture to squeeze out any air bubbles, while exerting steady pressure from the top with one hand while guiding the flow of the mixture with the other make a solid foundation, then carefully pipe a tight spiral, build a cone shaped mound and finish with a slightly pointed tip until each potato is about 2″ in height.
Brush with egg and then bake until golden brown, about 40–45 minutes.
Ukiyo-e (Pictures of the Floating, or Sorrowful, World) & Latkes
December 12, 2012
Dew Evaporates
And all our world is dew…so dear,
So fresh, so fleeting.
Ukiyo-e 浮世絵 is a stunning art form that conceives an evanescent world, a fleeting beauty divorced from the mundane — a genre of Japanese mass produced woodblock prints for commoners in the seclusive Edo period. The polychromatic images depict romantic vistas, transient tales, street scenes, kabuki motifs, comely courtesans, bawdy brothels and even shun-ga (erotica). Life's momentary insights from shadows and dreams.
Each ukiyo-e image was a collaborative effort: a publisher who coordinated the artisans and marketed the works; an artist who plotted and inked the design on paper; a carver who meticulously chiseled the images, now pasted to a series of woodblocks; and a printer who applied pigments to the woodblocks and printed each color on exquisite handmade paper. Reproductions, sometimes numbering in the thousands, could be made until the carvings on the woodblocks became overly worn.
While a rambling discourse on beloved sushi or sashimi in earlier Japanese culture may seem in order, it is hanukkah so…
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 large turnip, peeled, quartered and shredded
1/2 medium yellow onion, peeled, quartered and shredded
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 T all-purpose flour
1/2 T fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/2 T fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 C duck fat, plus more as needed
Place the vegetables in a strainer over a large bowl and allow liquid to drain. Set reserved liquid aside and allow starch to sink to the bottom. Gingerly pour liquid from the bowl, reserving the milky residue (potato starch) and discard the clearer, watery stuff. Transfer potatoes back to bowl with the starch.
Beat together the eggs, flour, thyme, sage, salt and pepper in another bowl until well combined. Add the egg mixture to the vegetables and mix until evenly combined.
Heat duck fat in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat until shimmering.
Form some "silver dollar pancakes" and carefully place one in the hot fat to test for temperature — the fat should immediately bubble around the edges. Cook until golden brown, turning once, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove them from the pan and taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Form more potato patties and place them in the hot fat without overcrowding. Fry (undisturbed) until the latkes hold together and become golden brown, again about 3-4 minutes per side. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Remove to a paper towel lined platter and continue frying more latkes until done.
Nosh on them semi-hot or preferably closing in on room temp. If you are even a touch unfamiliar, you will wonder where in the hell these divine spuds have been for all these years.

DENVER — A powerful, late-season spring storm arrived in the region Wednesday night in Denver and along the Front Range. Some places will see heavy, wet snow.
While a snowstorm this late in May might seem unusual, it's not. The latest date of snow falling in Denver is June 12, in 1947. See more about the top May snowstorms in Denver here.
Heavier snow will fall above 9,000 feet on Wednesday night through Thursday.
The storm will be a rain-snow mix below 6,000 feet in the metro area on Thursday before changing to all snow Thursday night through Friday morning.
The biggest impact out of this storm will be to the north, from Estes Park & Fort Collins to Cheyenne & Laramie, Wyoming.
The mountainous areas of Boulder and Larimer Counties could have one to three feet of snowfall.
Southern Wyoming may have a foot or two of snowfall also which will make I-80 a very difficult travel route.
Amounts around Denver will vary a lot depending on location, plus if the storm shifts any farther to the north the south side accumulation forecast will have to be dropped significantly. Most of the metro area snowfall will be Thursday night through Friday morning.
Meteorologist Dave Fraser says we could see an average of about four inches in the city.
Also, warm temperatures will allow a lot of snowmelt as the storm moves through.
The heaviest snow accumulations will stay above 6,000 feet, including parts of the foothills, and Continental and Palmer divides.
A winter storm watch will go into effect Wednesday night to Friday afternoon for the southern foothills, where 12-20 inches of snow could fall.
A winter storm watch will go into effect for the Denver metro area from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning.
A bull's-eye of heavy snow where 2-4 feet could fall is possible from Longs Peak to Estes Park to Cameron Pass and Red Feather Lakes.
A winter storm warning above 9,000 feet is in effect from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 p.m. Friday.
Temperatures will plunge to near or just below freezing on Thursday and Friday mornings, making potted and sensitive planted outdoor plants vulnerable. Highs Thursday will only reach the mid-40s.
Snow will change to rain on Friday afternoon before the storm moves out.
With trees leafed out, downed limbs and heavy snow on power lines could pose widespread power outages and damage.
Precipitation will wind down Friday, with Saturday and Sunday looking mostly sunny and dry. Highs will be in the upper 50s on Saturday and the mid-60s on Sunday.

Ways to Stop Panic Attacks Naturally?
Panic attacks generally happen due to high levels of anxiety or stress. Unfortunately, no one is immune from getting a panic attack. The discomforting and debilitating experience of a panic attack can happen anytime to anyone. However, taking a positive outlook, should the problem occur, we can try several things to reduce our anxiety and stop panic attacks naturally. Here are some natural remedies and food choices which should definitely interest you.
Herbs And Supplements To Stop Panic Attacks Naturally
Chamomile is great herb that has anti-anxiety properties. It is commonly brewed into tea. Some of the calming compounds found in chamomile work by binding to receptors in the brain. The same receptors as the ones that respond to drugs such as Xanax and Valium.
Chamomile has mildly sedating attributes too and has been utilised for centuries as a natural herbal aid. It is often used in anxiety-related medical studies. The results from research are promising as compared to placebos. Chamomile is part of the ragweed family. It can also be found in pill or powdered substance form.
Panic Attacks can affect our #qualityoflife severely and can happen to anyone anytime. Here is a short video that describes some natural remedies to help with #panicattacks. Read more about these #remedies in our blog post http://sp.eawesome.com.au/E6zqGOqX #healthyliving #mentalhealth #livehappy #skyisthelimit #psychologistsydney #psychologist #mentalhealthawareness #reachyourpotential #unlockyourpotential #positiveattitude #positivity #love #instagood #photooftheday #instamood #picoftheday #igers #beautiful #instadaily #instagramhub #follow #igdaily #bestoftheday #happy #picstitch #tagblender #followme http://potentialz.com.au
Lavender scent is well known for centuries to help in calming nerves and fight anxiety. As was the case for chamomile, clinical studies indicate that lavender aromatherapy is a suitable non-drug alternative to combating feelings of nervousness.
One such study, published in Phytomedicine, revealed that lavender oil was equally or almost as effective as Lorazepam, without the dangerous side effects.
Our results demonstrate that silexan (new oral lavender oil capsule preparation) is as effective as lorazepam in adults with GAD1
Use of lavender oil also works out be considerably less expensive than pharmaceutical products to stop panic attacks naturally.
Vitamin B12
Studies are indicating that when the body doesn't get enough vitamin B12, you are more susceptible to panic attacks and depression in general.
B12 deficiency can cause almost any psychiatric symptom-from anxiety, and panic to depression and hallucinations.2
Reversing a B12 deficiency is quite simple. You can use a doctor-prescribed nasal spray or get an injection. Alternatively, why not consume foods high in vitamin B12? It's found in a variety of foods such as grass-fed beef liver, yogurt, shrimp, venison, eggs, wild salmon and lamb. Let the dinner bell ring!
Valerian is a sweet-scented flowering herb that grows in the summer. It's been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. Today, it's often taken in the form of a dietary capsule, as a sedative and sleep aid. Valerian is frequently combined with lemon balm or hops in an effort to increase the effects of the herbs.
Kava Kava – a herbal option to stop panic attacks naturally
Kava kava is a Polynesian plant that is commonly used to ease one's worried mind. The roots are brewed to create a drink that is sedative in nature. This beverage often replaces alcohol as a treatment for social anxiety. Why? The answer is simple. Kava kava calms but does not alter mental cognition.
The bark of Magnolia oficinalis is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to address anxiety, nervous tension and for promoting sleep. Some researchers attribute these effects to the presence of honokiol, a natural compound in the bark. Research evidence is growing to support the use of magnolia bark for improving sleep and in easing the effects of depression and anxiety.
Lemon Balm
Melissa officinalis, commonly known as Lemon Balm is traditionally known as a mild sedative that has calming properties. Prescribed as a medicinal herb since ancient times by Greeks, lemon balm has long been known to relieve anxiety, promote sleep, and soothe agitation. In a clinical trial conducted over a period of 15 days, Cyracos™ (an extract of Lemon Balm) showed a 69% reduction in symptoms associated with mild anxiety.
Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as Passionflower, is a great herb for people experiencing insomnia. Passionflower may assist if you are having difficulty falling asleep and has traditionally been used for tenseness and restlessness in the body and to calm the irritability associated with difficulty in initiating sleeping.
Dietary omega-3 supplements are popular as part of almost any supplement routine. Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it good for heart health. Studies are indicating that omega-3 helps in reduction of the symptoms of anxiety and depression. So, it's a suitable way to help in the fight against panic attacks.
The reduction in anxiety symptoms associated with omega-3 (n-3) supplementation provides the first evidence that n-3 may have potential anxiolytic benefits for individuals.3
Now that you're armed with several natural methods to stop panic attacks naturally, it's time to begin making efforts. If one herb or supplement doesn't work, simply move on to the next one. Panic attacks won't stop overnight. But, with patience you should start to notice a difference.


text: Men's Lacrosse 3/18/2016 1:01:26 PM Lizards Extend Win Streak With 15-6 Victory Final Stats (HTML) HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Celebrating his 25th birthday, midfielder Stephen Peyser tied a Major League Lacrosse single-game record by scoring three two-point goals and added an assist as the Long Island Lizards (5-5) won their third straight game, a 15-6 MLL victory over the Rochester Rattlers (2-8) at James M. Shuart Stadium on Thursday evening. Peyser, who had not scored a two-point goal in his career prior to this year, matched his season two-point goal total by tying the MLL single-game record. He is the seventh player in MLL history to record three two-point goals in a game and the first player to accomplish the feat since Long Island attackman Matt Danowski had three two-point markers against Chicago on July 10, 2010. Led by a pair of Danowski goals, the Lizards sprinted out to a commanding 9-0 lead in the first 20 minutes of the game. Peyser also had a two-point goal with an assist during the run. With 2:11 remaining in the first half, the Rattlers ended their scoring drought when rookie attackman Grant Catalino scored on a two-point goal on a power play, trimming the deficit to 9-2. Trailing by seven points to start the second half, the Rattlers used a pair of goals from midfielder Matt Striebel, including a two-point goal, to narrow the gap to 9-5 with 35 seconds left in the third quarter. But, Peyser used another two-point goal with four seconds left in the period to extend the Lizards' lead to 11-5. After midfielder Stephen Berger opened the fourth quarter by scoring an unassisted goal, Danowski added his third goal of the game with 7:39 remaining, upping the Lizards' advantage to 13-5. But, attackman Ned Crotty ended the spurt by scoring an unassisted marker with 6:28 left to cut the margin to 13-6. However, Peyser secured the victory and tied the MLL record with 3:36 remaining when he took a feed from Danowski and fired home a 20-yard shot past rookie goalkeeper John Galloway. While Peyser led the Lizards with his seven-point effort, Danowski added a "hat trick," including a two-point goal, with an assist as Long Island outshot Rochester by a 57-38 margin. Goalkeeper Drew Adams, the two-time reigning MLL Defensive Player of the Week, made 17 saves while allowing just four goals. Striebel led the Rattlers in a losing effort with two goals while Crotty added a goal with two assists. Galloway made a season-high 20 saves in the loss, which eliminated the Rattlers from postseason consideration. After opening the season with a 2-5 record, the Lizards have won three straight games.
