Uploading users that have a column for a Custom Profile field which is a menu may fail because the data from the CSV is directly treated as a key in the Menu Class.
This means if you have user_profile_yearlevel = 9, it will return the value for key 9 or blank in custom profile field yearlevel which may or may not exist. If it did exist it could return the wrong value to be assigned to the yearlevel.
Reproduction steps:
- Create custom profile of type menu.
- Assign various values to the menu.
- Create a csv to upload a value to the menu.
- Update existing users and Existing user details from the file will work.
When the csv is processed you will see this error :-

Thanks for providing the patch Tim.
You might want to check for field.class.php file before including it, as there can be custom profile fields and this might break.
Thanks for reporting this.
Raj is keen to work on that very soon.
I have added another patch.
Thanks for the great patch Tim,
I have created branch with your patch, and did following modifications:
- In convert_csv_data function, for loop is replaced with array_search
- docblock added for pre_process_profile_data
- In 22 and master upload has been moved under tools.
I still have one doubt about convert_csv_data returning '0' if value not found in options. Should user get error if value is not found or default value is acceptable? Will push this for peer-review to get more thoughts on this.
sorry, this is horrible:
if ($field->datatype == 'menu') {
please do not hardcode any plugin names in core! Things like this have to be implemented in plugins, not core.
Also this is going to break backwards compatibility really badly for please that know how it works right now - files that work now would break after this change, right? Maybe numeric values could be treated as keys and non-numeric as values. In any case this must be documented in at least release notes.
Thanks for the feedback Petr,
I don't see why this will break backward compatibility. Also, we can't be sure that values are non-numeric, as they can be numeric as well.
Removed Hardcoding from core, and will update docs, if this gets integrated.
Backwards compatibility:
1/ create file that uses numerical indexes - works at the moment 100%
2/ apply your patch
3/ test it - it should work, if not you have major BC problem
Thanks Petr,
So do you recommend to have this documented, then to have this patch?
or shall we have this in master and not back-port it?
As discussed in devchat, this patch can go in master and release doc for 2.3 should contain this information. Hence adding master branch and doc_required tag
Hi Raj,
When entering in valid value for the custom profile menu, I still get the following error:
Error writing to database
More information about this error

Isn't the patch should prevent displaying the above error?
I have added another commit to handle wrong data for custom menu profile field. I am not sure if this should be part of this bug as we never did any checks on custom profile fields and probably needs to be improved for all the required custom_profile_fields.
Hi Raj,
Some comments regarding the patch.
1. On user/profile/field/menu/field.class.php line 97, you might want to change -1 to null (online comment).
2. It would probably better to move function pre_process_profile_data() to user/profile/lib.php.
3. On admin/tool/uploaduser/index.php, the content on line 1039 (to 1058) and pre_process_profile_data() look similar. The function could probably be modified to handle both cases.
Thanks Rossie,
pre_process_profile_data can't be moved to uer/profile/lib.php, but can be moved to admin/tools/uploaduser/localib.php. As it is only related to user upload feature only. As per code-replication, in first case it's stdClass and updates the value. In second case it's an array and sets error message.
Not sure if we should combine the two and make it complicated and update data-type.
Hello Rossie,
As suggested, I have combined two loops.
Can you please review it again.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
to integrators: I still believe this might be viewed as regression if original CSV file with numeric menu indexes does not work, this would create hard to detect problems if menu uses numeric values. Change like this would need to be announced and documented.
Hi Raj,
I'm sending this back for further discussion.
I feel the decision to affect systems out there to the extent that they might have to change other systems just to be able to upgrade to 2.3 should deserve a little more discussion.
I've noted this in dev chat : http://moodle.org/local/chatlogs/index.php?conversationid=9615
I think we should separate the solution (and its effects) from a design decision here too. Do we want to support numerical indexes? yes/no ? (we have for so long - what changed the design? )
if yes - how?
if no - you're solution seems fine but we need to plan this change so that future uptakes of the version can be planned for by others.
also note :
admin/tool/uploaduser/locallib.php:414: trailing whitespace.
if (method_exists($formfield, 'convert_external_data') &&
ps: Also noting that in a stable (fixes) sprint - we may not have given this enough design/supportability thought too.
so simply - please discuss this change in support with more views/people.
Thanks for the feedback Aparup,
This was discussed in Devchat. Tim, Eloy agreed about having this in 2.3
Not sure, about more discussion. As per rest of the fields, they expect value but with menu it expects index.
You can see there is one duplicate for this issue, so seems it is a problem.
As per stable, as this is change in functionality, I haven't back-ported this.
@Petr: If this gets integrated, I will update the docs.
Thanks everybody! I somehow missed the discussion in dev chat, sorry, sometimes it is better to copy paste any decisions from there into tracker.
Thanks Petr,
My Bad, I should have copied the discussion. Will remember to paste it next time
As per the whole conversation, it is a bug. Unfortunately, we have been living with it. So, 2.3 is a good option to correct it.
I have added Martin, Michael, Sam and Eloy as watchers to have there opinion on this.
@Petr: If you think patch makes sense then please give +1 for it.
As mentioned by Rossie, about user upload showing exception. This is just a status message and will let user proceed. Updating user profile, doesn't mention about wrong fields if uploaded will not let you proceed (which is included in this patch). So doc update is required.
I don't see a problem with this if we note this as a behavioural change in the release notes and update the user docs accordingly. The current labels are set correctly to prompt this.
Branches re-based.
Hoping will get more +1's, by the time integrator reviews it
ok i suppose enough time has passed and hopefully more people see this coming.
Thanks for the work here, its been integrated now and is ready for testing in master.
This change should be highlighted release.
ps: Rajesh, as spoken this was only master, futher to that i take it that there is no fix possible for stable branches.
Test result: Success.
Tested in master with MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS SQL.
Thanks to all involved.
Please could anyone advise what needs to be added to the user docs for this issue, or should the label be dev_docs? (I notice it's mentioned in http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_2.3_release_notes )
Hello Helen,
For custom profile fields that are a menu, it was mentioned to use corresponding menu number (index), and now it's the value itself.
http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Upload_users#Fields_that_can_be_included - Custom profile field names (first example, second line)
Thanks Raj, http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Upload_users#Fields_that_can_be_included now states:
For custom profile fields that are a menu, use the corresponding values (new in Moodle 2.3 onwards).
Example: if your custom field is department and there are three choices - HR, Marketing,Training- then use HR, Marketing and Training.
Hope I've understood it correctly - please shout if not!
"HR, Marketing and Training"
The code will parse that "and"?
Shouldn't it be something like:
Example: A custom field 'Department' with one of three values 'HR', 'Marketing' or 'Training'. Just insert one of those three words (eg 'Training') as the value for that field.

Great looking and functional
"Nice looking bag. Love the storage spaces on it. Nice size and width of strap. Leather feel is great. The two negatives for me -- 1. the zippers and other metal on bag add unnecessary weight, wish it was lighter. 2. the clasp has to be closed to protect inner pocket that carries credit cards, etc."

Skip to comments.Administration Makes Syria Policy Off the Cuff Again!
Posted on 09/09/2013 8:46:39 PM PDT by Hoodat
OMG these people really are bad. I mean, what a three-ring circus. Are they just so full of themselves that they think they can say whatever they want and dont have to discipline their speech to hew to an actual policy?
Obama, you remember, drew a red line off the top of his head committing us to military action against Syria. And now Secretary of State John Kerry has offered Syria a splendid opportunity to delay, confuse the issue, and confound the United States.
Asked at a news conference today in Britain if there was anything Syrian President Assad could do to avoid an attack, Kerry mused, Sure, he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week turn it over, all of it, without delay and allow the full and total accounting.
Kerrys own spokeswoman described this as a rhetorical exercise rather than a proposal, according to the New York Times.
But the Russians, who practice diplomacy like an art form and love to confuse issues, could barely contain their delight. They decided, with rational thought that somehow eludes U.S. leaders, that what the Secretary of State says is in fact U.S. policy. And so Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who was meeting in Moscow with Syrias foreign minister, Walid al-Moallem, offered Russias kind assistance in corralling Syrias chemical weapons. Moallem said Syria welcomes Russias proposal.
So now, completely by accident, a very serious alternative to bombing Syria has emerged. The opportunity here for mischief and delay is unlimited Oh, were rounding up the weapons, but this takes time, and of course UN inspectors must confirm, and wait arent there a few more? . . .
(Excerpt) Read more at whitehousedossier.com ...
ping. This guy nails it. We are back to where we were dealing with Saddam post-9/11.
Rose is an imbecile. Assad, on the other hand, actually made sense.
They have near total control of the US media and they know they will get cover.
John F Kerry, employee of the month
It's okay, obviously God had a hand in it, and caused the pompous moron to utter that statement. Millions of prayers were answered and WWIII postponed for a little longer. Make the most of it...
Clown Prince president. Clown Car administration members. Clown interviewers. I feel it insulting that they don't wear clown suits and clown shoes.
They may get cover. But America will not. Somewhere down the line, we will have to deal with this just like we did with Saddam, because with this 'international inspector' BS, we are now locked in for years to come.
I actually had similar thoughts.
That's the point, to distract from the Hussein / Morsi Egyptian Terrorist Trials!
Putting the "rebels" into power was never the answer.
They do.
>> John F Kerry, employee of the month
I didn't realize Hell acknowledged "employee of the month".
With them, everything is impromptu, off-the-cuff, make it up as you go along.
These are not serious people. And that's gong to make for a long -- and dangerous -- 44 months to go.
"Its okay, obviously God had a hand in it, and caused the pompous moron to utter that statement. Millions of prayers were answered and WWIII postponed for a little longer. Make the most of it..."
Eyes likes your thinkin', Errant. And my bet is you're right on the money.
Who the hell is that? OMG
Putin is playing poker.
Obama plays pokee...
I could picture international inspectors over there verifying this while getting their asses blown off. LOL
The government is used to being able to lie without consequence or detection by the masses. Now that social media has flattened the practice of news reporting, destroying the government-media information monopoly, they have no protocols for dealing with getting caught lying, and what we are witnessing here is the result.
In any previous age, the people would have submissively gone along with the program, they'd believe whatever the TV told them, and they'd have no access to information that went counter to the official narrative.
It begs one to wonder which events in the past have also been false, through and through - besides the many that we already know about.
Under the terms of such a deal Assad would relinquish chemical weapons which are of marginal utility militarily and of distinct liability in terms of triggering an international reaction which causes Western powers to bring down the Assad regime. In return for this, Asad buys months and months of time to negotiate the terms of the deal and to submit to the complicated on the ground inspection necessary to verify the deal. If the German intelligence intercepts to the effect that the poison gas was used by rogue elements of the Assad forces are accurate, it is clear that Asad might not actually be able to account for or deliver all such weapons. In any event the process of verification will be difficult and protracted which time the Russians will exploit.
Meanwhile, Russia will gain diplomatic prestige and, more importantly, cover to expand its naval and military presence in the Levant. It will undoubtedly vastly increase its weapons supplied to Asad which he will use to prosecute his civil war. It is probable that the Russians will become more involved in aiding Assad beyond merely supplying weapons, although they will undoubtedly now supply more sophisticated weapons, and they will probably supply technicians etc.
To the degree that the United States had as its policy the destruction of the Assad regime, that policy has been markedly sent back. Obama will be happy, however, because he has been extricated from a self-inflicted humiliation and will crow about removing weapons of mass destruction from Syria and making the world safer etc. If the United States intends to supply weapons to the rebels that will be made far more dangerous by the increased presence of the Russians. Expect the Russians to flex naval muscles in the Mediterranean basin which makes the world a far more dangerous place, not safer as Obama will claim.
The Russia-Iran-Syria axis will have been strengthened and the Saudis will feel even more isolated and threatened because the precedent has been established that Russia will protect its client states against American threats of bombing and can now do so to protect Iran. Expect that to come in good time. Therefore, although Obama himself will be pleased with this deal, the national interests of the United States have been tragically sent back.
Iran is now to be protected by the Russian nuclear umbrella in its quest for the atomic bomb and there is virtually no chance now of denying Iran the bomb.This represents one of the greatest strategic disasters for the United States since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Recently Israel has been attempting a diplomatic opening with Russia and that might come in handy now that Russia's military will be expanding quite literally on Israel's doorstep.
The long-term consequences of Russia's intrusions into the Middle East cauldron severely reduce both American leverage and Israeli security, while increasing prospects for continuing terrorism and nuclear proliferation.
The irony of all of this is that Obama will come out smelling like a rose.
"... and then, Kerry said that they would only carry out, - an 'unbelievably small' attack in Syria!"
Frederica Wilson, (D-FL), represents Florida 24th CD. Not only a clown, but a moron, proving her ability to multi-task.
The extent of Kerry's "unbelievably small attack" is to place a paper sack full of dog poop on Assad's front porch, set it on fire, and ring the doorbell.
Maybe they can pull Hans Blix out of retirement to do the inspections?
then it would be pretty hard for Assad to "turn them over, all of them" .....and will require Kerry and Obama to attack anyway for not "turning them over"
"The irony of all of this is that Obama will come out smelling like a rose."
At best he'll avoid being totally embarrassed, but he'll be seen as a total loser worldwide - his red lines will mean nothing from now on. Putin will be the winner, as well as Assad.
Not a realistic problem Syria has been a chem weapon producer for decades. Easy way to get rid of old stocks and probably get paid to do it.
Kerry is such a DOLT!!! He is in (nearly) the same class as Biden, and these people control the fate of a Nation.... I guess you elect idiots you get an unlimited amount of idiots appointed to offices. Come to think of it, this is DOLT #2 in charge of DoS under this regime.
Iran is now to be protected by the Russian nuclear umbrella in its quest for the atomic bomb and there is virtually no chance now of denying Iran the bomb.This represents one of the greatest strategic disasters for the United States since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Now, that is an excellent, clearly worded analysis. I was trying to explain it to a (somewhat) disaffected Obama supporter, but your description is much more concise. Do you mind if I quote it to a few people?
That said, does Russia really trust an Iran with nukes?
It's a dumb move if getting rid of the nerve-gas danger is the objective. Weaseling out of the "red line" boast is more important, so this fig leaf will do.
We're All Bozos on this Bus
In judging these things, we should expect the nation to act in accordance with its perceived national interests. The question is how does Putin perceive those interests? How Putin perceives the world, of course, is not congruent with how a Western man sees the world. He is a KGB agent at heart, he is a thug, an autocrat, and a man who has expressed the bizarre thought that the worst thing that has happened in the century was the demise of the Soviet Union and presumably its Empire. His record shows that he has sought to restore that Empire where possible and by means not known to be fastidious. He quite obviously harbors animus against the USA. There is the imponderable tendency among autocrats to live out their fantasies unchecked because of the level of their arrogance. It might be that Putin in his arrogance thinks he can co-opt and control a nuclear Iran. It might be that he just likes the game.
There have been historic ambitions by the Russians in Persia and some interest in its resources.
Ultimately, nations and leaders should be judged not on their rhetoric but on their behavior and history shows that Russia, both before and with Putin, have always attempted to exert their influence in Iran. History tells us that it will continue.
Thank you for the kind words concerning my reply which, of course, you can use but I would be grateful for a hat tip.
The Russians don't seem to mind equipping Iran with the equipment and materials to go nuclear. Maybe this is why:
TSAR Hydrogen Bomb Detonated by USSR
The TSAR was "capable" of 100 megatons, but the video shows one throttled back to just 50...
The original, November 1961 A.E.C. estimate of the yield was 5560 Mt, but since 1991 all Russian sources have stated its yield as 50 Mt. Khrushchev warned in a filmed speech to the Supreme Soviet of the existence of a 100 Mt bomb (technically the design was capable of this yield). Although simplistic fireball calculations predicted the fireball would impact the ground, the bomb's own shock wave reflected back and prevented this.[9] The fireball reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane and was visible at almost 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) away from where it ascended. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 64 kilometres (40 mi) high (over seven times the height of Mount Everest), which meant that the cloud was above the stratosphere and well inside the mesosphere when it peaked. The base of the cloud was 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide. All buildings in the village of Severny (both wooden and brick), located 55 kilometres (34 mi) from ground zero within the Sukhoy Nos test range, were destroyed. In districts hundreds of kilometers from ground zero wooden houses were destroyed, stone ones lost their roofs, windows and doors; and radio communications were interrupted for almost one hour. One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 kilometres (170 mi). The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 kilometres (430 mi) away; windowpanes were partially broken to distances of 900 kilometres (560 mi).[10] Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage at even greater distances, breaking windows in Norway and Finland. The seismic shock[verification needed] created by the detonation was measurable even on its third passage around the Earth.[11] Its seismic body wave magnitude was about 5 to 5.25.[9] The energy yield was around 8.1 on the Richter scale but, since the bomb was detonated in air rather than underground, most of the energy was not converted to seismic waves. The TNT equivalent of the 50 Mt test could be represented by a cube of TNT 312 metres (1023 feet) on a side, approximately the height of the Eiffel Tower.
I do believe you have it right. I thought and wrote the same thing last night.
I heard Kerry's statement yesterday morning...who knew they'd pick it up and run with it?
I would just caution the many thoughts & comments regarding how amazingly Putin seems like the 'leader' here. Syria's defeat and Damascus' destruction is inevitable.
Yes, there are many blessings and many horrors being in this waiting time.
>>>The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km (62 mi) away from ground zero.

In short, just a wing of bombers armed with a cruise missiles equipped with a full-yield warheads like that are enough to ruin Japan or UK.
The bad karma of tens of thousands of dishonored Purple Heart recipients WILL catch up with the mendacious evil-doer. Furthermore, as with other corruptions, the corrupt will carry stunted intellect, hubris and arrogance to every venue at which he appears.
Well said. We've received a short reprieve but those forces steering us toward world conflict will not be deterred because of this little setback. We'll see a new tack soon.
Krauthammer on US-Syria fallout: Chances of Israeli strike on Iran are double
"And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him."
Iran will get nuclear weapons, I'm afraid, and will use it/them.

By Dr. Hal GoochChief Medical Officer of Molina Healthcare of Utah
Can you hear the class bells ringing? With the first day of school behind them, students need some special help from home. Here are 10 helpful tips to get them ready for the new school year:
1. They need sleep: Students need at least nine hours of sleep to be healthy. Reestablish the bedtime and mealtime routine at least one week before school starts. Stagger bedtimes for kids of different ages.
2. Eating a healthy breakfast: When your kids eat breakfast, they will do better in school, be more active and eat fewer calories throughout the day. Try to have healthy breakfast food in the house, such as fruits, eggs and yogurt, but any breakfast is better than no breakfast at all. To give their brains the kick start they need, make sure that whatever they eat in the morning has protein and fiber.
3. Encourage involvement: Whether your child is a star football player or a chess superstar, encourage him or her to get involved in school. Extracurricular activities usually have a grade point average minimum and promote studying.
a. Forty-six percent of uninvolved students failed one or more classes, while only 23 percent of involved students failed a class, according to an Idaho study.
4. Pack a lunch: Your child's cafeteria lunch food may seem like the easiest way for him or her to have lunch, but it's not the healthiest. Instead, encourage your son or daughter to make his or her own lunch the night before. Buy healthy and delicious sandwich ingredients - stay away from processed foods - and help him or her create an ideal lunch.
5. Help them plan ahead: When everything is planned the night before, your children will be less stressed in the morning (and won't fall asleep worrying). Don't wait to the last minute to prepare for school. Before the school year starts, have your child go through his or her room to see which school supplies he or she has and which ones he or she needs. And the same goes for school clothes.
a. Americans spent an average of $7.2 billion in family clothing stores in August 2009, according to the U.S. Census. Clean out closets and dressers to find those forgotten clothes that still fit.
6. Schedule doctor visits: Your son or daughter may not be sick during the summer, but it's the best time to get preventative checkups. Take a day off of work and schedule dental and physical appointments. One summer checkup could keep your children healthy and stop them from missing school.
7. Watch for mental health issues: Look for changes in your child's behavior, especially if he or she is a teenager. Watch for eating disorders or depression and talk to your child if you notice something unusual or different.
8. Turn off the TV: During the final weeks of summer, encourage your child to play quiet games, do puzzles, use flash cards or read instead of watching television. These quiet activities will help ease him or her into the school routine.
9. Get your children immunized: Vaccines and immunizations are required for most public schools, but call your child's school to learn about any new vaccine requirements. And if you're unsure if your child has been vaccinated, check with your family's pediatrician to make sure your child is up-to-date.
10. Be enthusiastic: Many kids are nervous about going back to school, so be enthusiastic about your kids' return. Talk to your kids about the upcoming school year and once the year starts, listen to them as they talk about their day. Be supportive and encouraging.

Here Lambert depicted a nude man seated with his trousers around his feet, presenting his body with cool detachment. His face shows a quizzical expression, which adds to the slight sense of absurdity of this image. Certainly, the presence of the dropped trousers makes the man appear more naked than nude – as if he has been stripped or caught out, rather than posing naturally.
Although this drawing has been thought to be a self-portrait it is probably not. About this time Lambert used a model with similar features to himself, including a beard and receding hairline. The man's hair, however, was even more receding than Lambert's, his eyebrows higher, his cheeks chubbier and his beard thicker. It is likely that the model for the drawing is this man, and that this was the model who was then posing for Lambert for his portrait of King Edward VII. In 1961 Thea Proctor recalled that this professional model had once been a sailor (Thomas 1962).

Choreographer Alun Jones, who is in Denver setting his choreography for "Romeo and Juliet" on the Colorado Ballet's dancers, said that when he originally choreographed the work for the Louisville Ballet in 1982, he started with Prokofiev's music.
"It's intimidating — it's so wonderful. I had a minor panic. Then I started with one little dance…" He worked on it for almost two months — a few weeks with the principal dancers, then the rest of the company. (His wife was the original Juliet.)
He and his wife are spending five weeks with the Colorado Ballet, although they are also staging "Coppelia" with the Louisville Ballet this month. He flew back there for a week and she came to Denver. "In the pas de deux, she can tell the girls what they should think."
The last week before the Feb. 25 opening, the company can rehearse in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, where they will perform. (About 12 to 7 p.m. each day.)
His comment about "what to think" comes from a problem he sees with some young American dancers: They may be so focused on technique that they forget they are onstage and acting a part as well as dancing.
Jones, who was born in South Wales, studied with Dame Marie Rambert in London, who insisted her students be "onstage" at all times. He joined the New London Ballet in 1972 as technical director and toured internationally, then came to the U.S. to work with the Louisville Ballet, where he stayed until 2002 retirement. Louisville has continued to be home base —the grandchildren are there — and he travels to choreograph for various companies.
His staging of this full-length ballet focuses on varying degrees of love between the characters and their relationships to one another. He calls his style in "Romeo and Juliet" neo-classical and says he loves to stage the classics.
Jones also serves as a site visitor for the National Endowment for the Arts and has judged an international dance symposium in Croatia.
This is Colorado Ballet's 50th season and the company recently announced that it's 2010 production of "The Nutcracker" set new records for attendance and revenue — a happy note for artistic director Gil Boggs and new executive director Marie Belew Wheatley, who came on board in September after a 10-month restructuring effort by the board of trustees.
Wheatley has lived in Denver almost 33 years and has worked in nonprofit management (Red Cross and American Humane Society), while being involved with several arts organizations as a board member. She saw many performances of "The Nutcracker" and loved each one better, she said. With "Romeo and Juliet" completing this season, she will move on to planning for the next season.
The company will make a guest appearance at the Arvada Center during the summer and perhaps elsewhere. Programming for the next season is not yet confirmed, but she is excited over what is being considered. Watch for announcements.
Colorado Ballet will present Shakespeare's classic love story, "Romeo and Juliet," from Feb. 25 through March 6 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex, with new-to-Denver choreography and a live orchestra playing the score by Sergei Prokofiev. Six dancers will share the two leading roles.
If you go:
Colorado Ballet present "Romeo and Juliet" Feb. 25 through March 6 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Performing Arts Complex. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 25, 26, March 4, 5; 6:30 p.m. March 2; 2 p.m. Feb. 26, 27, March 5, 6. Tickets range from $19 to $135. www.coloradoballet.org, 303-837-8888 ext. 2. Ticket office at 1278 Lincoln open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

A major component of Big Creek Reservation is Big Creek Parkway, a refreshing alternative to the standard suburban commuter routes to Cleveland. The reservation runs parallel to Pearl Road from Valley Parkway to Brookpark Road, and is located in Brooklyn, Parma, Parma Heights, Middleburg Heights, and Strongsville.
Undoubtedly the highlight of the reservation is the Lake to Lake Trail, a 2.4 mile, universally accessible all purpose trail that connects Lake Abram to Lake Isaac. On foot, by bicycle, or by wheelchair, one crosses Abram Creek and Bagley Road as they travel the trail that passes through 175 acres of headwater wetlands joining the largest kettle lakes in Cuyahoga County.
Reservation open
6 a.m. – 11 p.m.

On the Friday afternoon of Melon Days the Manila Mustang baseball team rode into Green River without a win for the 2008 season and they left the same way.
The Mustangs jumped out to a quick three run lead in the top of the first inning on some not so stellar defense. The wake up call got the Pirate's attention but were unable to get anything going in the bottom of the first.
The next two innings the Pirates held Manila scoreless while they were able to cut the lead with one run each inning. It was in the fourth inning that Green River was able to get things going and play like they knew they could.
Green River took the lead with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
The fifth inning got interesting with the Mustangs tying the score with three quick runs but Green River went back to what has been a main stay in their recent win streak; patience, perseverance and pitching.
Brennan Bigelow found the spot and Manila was held scoreless after that while the bats began to sing for the Pirates. Sarah Swalberg had a break out game when the left fielder must have thought that a girl couldn't hit one over his head and Sarah smashed one deep into left field allowing her to easily reach second base.
On her next at bat the same fielder must not have had much of a memory because Sarah again pounded one deep into left field just off the foul line catching a shallow Mustang fielder off guard and Sarah again made it to second base. Sarah went four for five with two doubles.
The final score was 14-6 and Green River had the confidence it needed as it started the next game.
The second game of the double header saw a pitching change for both teams and this time Elias Polito was on the mound for Green River. 'E' found the strike zone early as the Mustangs were not able to hit off him. Elias ended the game with a shutout.
The bats carried over from the previous game with Brennan Bigelow and Justin Johnson each pounding doubles. The inning ended with Green River posting a 10 run lead and the game was called.
Green River is now tied with Dugway in Region 18 play with eight wins each and they play each other next.
The Green River Pirates and the Dugway Mustangs met on Sept. 26 to determine who would be the champs of Region 18. Both teams had a 12-3 record going into the double header.
Brennan Bigelow took the mound for the Pirates, he threw 13 strike-outs in the win for Green River. Jason Johnson and Justin Johnson both hit two for four to help with the win. In the bottom of the seventh inning, the score was tied 6-6 the Pirates had Justin on third base and Sarah Swalberg at the plate, Sarah hit a double scoring Justin and winning the game.
In the second game of the double header the Pirates couldn't get their bats going and the Mustangs won 9-3.
Both teams now have a record of 13-4, they flipped a coin to see who would go into the state tournament in first and who would go in second. The Pirates lost the toss, so they will play Panguitch in the quarterfinals on Oct. 7 in Spanish Fork. Dugway will play Westridge Academy or Tabiona.

World > Countries > Micronesia
The Federated States of Micronesia is composed of the island states of Yap, Chuuk (Truk), Pohnpei (Ponape), and Kosrae, all in the Caroline Islands. The islands vary geologically from high mountainous islands to low coral atolls, with volcanic outcroppings on Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Chuuk. They are located 3,200 mi (5,150 km) west-southwest of Hawaii, in the north Pacific Ocean.
Constitutional government in free association with the United States since Nov. 1986.
The islands, inhabited by Micronesian and Polynesian peoples, were colonized by Spain in the 17th century. Germany purchased them from Spain in 1898. They were occupied by the Japanese in 1914, but American forces seized them from the Japanese during World War II. On April 2, 1947, the United Nations Security Council created the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. The trust placed the Northern Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands under the administration of the United States.

Skip to comments.Obama says deficit plan must include higher taxes for wealthy (OK! Bush Tax Cuts will expire)
Posted on 11/10/2012 6:04:06 AM PST by tobyhill
President Obama called on Congress on Friday to reduce the deficit in a balanced and responsible way in his first public remarks since winning reelection.
The president said Congress should extend the current tax rates for 98 percent of Americans, but raise taxes on households with annual income of more than $250,000.
Obama did not talk about higher tax rates in his speech, but said he would not accept a deal that cut spending and entitlements but did not ask wealthier households to pay more taxes.
If were serious about reducing the deficit, we have to combine spending cuts with revenue and that means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes, Obama said. Thats how we did it in the 1990s when Bill Clinton was president, thats how we can reduce the deficit while still making the investments we need to build a strong middle class and a strong economy.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Am I wrong or is "taxing the rich" the one thing he says he will not compromise?
Not that I believe anything this lier says.
Shut this economy down.
If the President feels so badly about the rich, why doesn't he give up his Presidential salary?
Why doesn't he pay more in taxes as he has every right to choose to do.
The President wants racist revenge on rich white people, that is his goal. In the meantime he is slamming hell out of Middle incomepeople too. He knows the facts, that if we took every penny the rich have it would not solve the problem.
Any more than taking away the oil company deductions of 2 billion dollars will negate the 90 billion he gave to Greenies so they could go bankrupt with our money.
The Democrats really did re-elect this stupid Muslim didnt they.
The wealthy will leave and we the middleclass while we are still alive will be temporarily footing the bill..... until this runs out the people march and the real plan is put into effect, welcome comrad to the new Amerikka. why do you think the feds took over education of our children, so they know nothing about history and the repeat of it. Ask anyone here from a communist government
The wealthy will leave and we the middleclass while we are still alive will be temporarily footing the bill..... until this runs out the people march and the real plan is put into effect, welcome comrad to the new Amerikka. why do you think the feds took over education of our children, so they know nothing about history and the repeat of it. Ask anyone here from a communist system
Republicans should just let the Bush era tax cuts expire at this point. (it a loser with the MSM fighting Democrats battles for them). Then start an ad campaign asking our moron in chief how he plans on closing the rest of the deficient spending now that the tax on the "rich" have put a microscopic dent in federal spending.
THE PRICE TAG we are paying so that America-hater Obama and desperate vote-crazed pols can get re/elected.
NOTE Oftentimes the conniving pols bury these programs within other programs making them difficult to find. Americans have been hammered with govt propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting the US. Heres the real reasons:

14. The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States. Verify at: http: // www.drdsk.com/articleshtml
The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. Are we THAT Stupid?WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
1. The Earned Income Credit...money people get back on their taxes that they NEVER paid into in the first place! Illegal aliens, most of which pay zero in net taxes, enjoyed $4.2 billion from the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) last year. Thats more than the annual revenue from the selected oil tax deductions and corporate jet deductions combined!Verify: http://www.redstate.com/dhorowitz3/2011/09/02/illegal-aliens-receive-4-2-billion-in-additional-child-tax-credits/

"Tax the rich"
I've worked hard for a long time, against the friction of incessant taxes, to reach a point where they want to take more and more of what I've earned while I'm alive, and more and more of what's left for my family after I die.
Even so, in a time of crisis, I could temporarily go along with this if I didn't think Obama and the Dems were such liars. They want it all.
In particular, this 10 for 1, or 5 for 1, expenses cut versus tax raises, will prove to be particularly false. For example, let's say they settle on 5 to 1. Obama will want to count $2 trillion in war savings as a cut, so without changing anything, he'd ask for $400 billion in tax increases (over ten years). And that's the way it will go with everything. They will use baseline budgeting as the expense level, so there will be no real cuts—but there will definitely be higher taxes.
And, after a couple of years, even though the deficits will still be large, the increased taxes will be used as a platform for increased future spending. "We've sacrificed so much for so long; the still-wealthy should show economic patriotism and fund these programs for our suffering new amnesty-granted citizens. They are Americans, too." I can hear it all now.
In conversations with the wife, my wife found out that they're working the extra jobs because they wanted to have money for the extras. Turns out, "extras" is things like little league dues and soccer shinguards for the kids.
I am really beginning to detest Democrats.
Lowering tax rates will actually increase the revenue to the feds. This has been shown time and time again. He's either too stupid to understand this, or too committed to punishing the rich to give a damn.
The unfortunate result will be that the debt and deficit will increase and growth will decrease because a group of Americans are being targeted for punishment. Disgusting.
Were that true there would be no rich - the ultimate outcome of all socialist endeavors.
We are a pathetic nation of greedy, self-indulgent imbeciles neither capable nor deserving of freedom.
Actually, how stupid do you have to be to believe that some rich guy can tax the rich and will give you the money?
Were that true there would be no rich - the ultimate outcome of all socialist endeavors.
We are a pathetic nation of greedy, self-indulgent imbeciles neither capable nor deserving of freedom.
Just let the bush tax cuts expire. This way Boehner can go on TV and say the Bush tax cuts were tax cuts for he rich, therefore the expiration of them takes care of the tax increase on the wealthiest.
Then let the media and Obama try to explain it away.
I've tried that argument many times when talking to Libs and they seem to be dumb to understand. It's time to just let it go and prove to them that raising rates on everyone will not work despite everyone paying their "fair share".
Terrible. $250,000 a year should afford one things such as Catholic school and little league. I'm afraid the rest of the nation is soon to follow the Northeast.
That is the right move — but let the Demwits do it.
First off, refuse to budge on "some" tax increases without getting rid of Zerocare or specifying what gets cut.
Second, all Republicans need to vote "Present", thus letting the Demagogic Party be responsible for letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire.
We can take all the rich, confiscate their every last asset, have them drawn & quartered in the streets, and maybe take a small chunk out of the interest on the debt. For a few years.
Hearing this guy lecturing Romney about "the math" in the debates was excruciating.
They're going to do Boner like they did Reagan in the '80's.
The taxes will rise but the cuts will never appear...only this time obama won't get the blame like Reagan did.
Thus the reason not to "negotiate" anything. Let the Rats do EVERYTHING on their own from raising the debt ceiling to passing a Continuing Resolution.
Yep, let the DEM's own the inevitable collapse.
After the smoke clears maybe enough will wake up to reality....the rest will continue to blame Bush.
This will not hurt small business. Millionaires can afford it. It won't lower the deficit, but who cares. The Demoncrats want to demonize the rich, so be it. WE HAVE ALREADY LOST THIS ARGUMENT. This can be a HUGE compromise issue. We can get something HUGE for it. We'll be seen as compromising, willing to work together, while they really get nothing of consequence.
It's time to compromise on immigration. All we need to get out of this is border security. A fence, drones, cameras, sensors, agents, (whatever we want), in return for pseudo amnesty. Call it whatever you want as long as you don't call it amnesty. I don't care if it IS amnesty. We HAVE TO be on the right side of immigration reform. They are not all going to self deport. We are not going to uproot or split up families. We are not going to deport adults who were brought here as children. We are STUCK on stupid on this issue. We are not going to kick these people out.
THEY ARE ALREADY HERE. DEAL WITH IT. We need to STEAL this issue from the Demoncrats. Again we win. We get what we want, (border security) and they get what is already the status quo and WE take credit for it.
Have a retroactive drop dead date, say 11/10/2012, and then enforce immigration to the letter of the law. ZERO tolerance. If you can't PROVE you were here prior to the drop dead date, YOU GO BACK.
Illegals will come out of the shadows, get documentation, have a chance at FUTURE citizenship. Remember, THEY ARE ALREADY HERE and they aren't going back, voluntarily or otherwise. Can you handle the TRUTH?
Let's make these WINNING issues for US. As it stands now, we are the biggest losers.
Everyone will be "rich" when he have Zimbabwe dollars. I just wish that one time, one of the Republican leaders would come out hard against 0bama and the regime. Tell the nation that 0bama wants the nation to fail and give the reasons; call him a proto-dictator, a Marxist-socialist and send the regime and Leftist media into an apoplectic fit. Tell the public that we need spending cuts and across the board tax cut, repeal of 0-care, energy; nothing short will suffice, and no compromises. We need to stir the pot, not acquiesce. Paul Ryan is in the best position to do this.
Better yet, propose a fix where all the lower rates are reduced by 3 to 5%, and increase the top rate to 36.25%. Keep the cuts.
Sit back and watch 0 sputter.
He won't go for it, but if he does (And let's face it, he wanted the top rate to go up, he never said how much) in six months propose a small business tax cut that lowers the top rate to something below 30. Diffrentiating between personal and business income isn't that hard, at least for people with a brain.
Truly wealthy do not pay taxes, they hide behind c-corporations.
They'll just flee the country like Denise Rich.....they vote for it, and then they'll leave when it affects them. Taxes are for the "little people."
the democrats have been demonizing the "Bush Tax Cuts" for 10 years. The democrats said the "Bush Tax Cuts" destroyed our economy and only benefittted "the rich"
So let them ALL expire
All of them
No more "Bush Tax Cuts"
For the next two years all Republicans in Congress should vote "present" on every single bill. Democrats will have their Utopia — no dissent.
The pain will be immediate.
The cities will burn before the next election and the Republicans could not be called obstructionist, even by the media.
Only then will conservatism, not progressivism and its evil twin RINOism, be the ascendant political philosphy and America can then rise from the ashes.
The Republicans should offer up a bill that takes 50% of the wealth over 10 million of all the "evil wealthy". Make it cover wealth going back 20 years so that all the "evil wealthy" who have moved their wealth overseas get hit, too.
Make it illegal for them to come to the US unless it is paid.
I guarantee the Democrat Senate and Obama would not pass it. They would freak out and then the Republicans can use it as a learning moment for all the class haters.
Also, throw in 95% wealth tax on all Hollywood actors and directors.
Most certainly they pay their tax attorneys more than they do to the IRS.
The Kennedy's hide behind trusts, and I am sure man others do too.
This Obama idiot thinks we are all fools withhios tax the rich BS. He is rich, all of the Congress are rich, they will figure a way to protect their rich's we all know that.
If they really want to do something pass a law that they have to retire on Social Security and have Obamacare for their insurance. See how fast they straighten this mess out then.
The biggest scam in this country is Congressional and Presidential retirements and the fact that they are free from Obamacare.

Adorable and Comfy!
"I am very pleased with this purchase, the shoes are amazingly comfortable and very stylish. The heel adds some class, but still casual enough to wear everyday. The shoe feels sturdy and they are very easy to walk in, although a little slippery so I will probably have to sandpaper the bottoms for more traction. I like that the back strap is adjustable so you can tailor it to your ankle width. Overall, very pleased with the shoe."

I got this recipe from a friend when we were discussing ideas for mishloach manos. She serves this meaty chummus dish every Shabbos morning as one of her dips. She layers chummus, techina, and then this meat mixture on a small plate. Placed in a glass jar (such as the Weck jar shown), this makes a neat and practical mishloach manos, to be enjoyed at the Purim seudah. Tie it together with a bundle of mini pitas or crackers with twine.

|Posted by Greg N on February 18, 2004 at 11:51:48:
An inspector pointed out that the drain line for our clothes washer is sloped improperly and has no vent and it should be corrected. The washer is about 14 feet from the main waste stack in our basement.
The current drain line for the washer is PVC (2" diameter?) that has a P trap and then runs 14 feet horizontally (with very little slope) and connects to the main drain line going out of the house.
I plan to install a new PVC drain line for the washer with the correct slope, but I'm unclear about the proper way to vent it.
1. Is it important where the vent I install on the drain line is located on the 14 ft run of PVC (from P trap by washer to the main stack)? It would be easier to locate the T for the drain line closer to the main stack because the existing vent lines are directly above the main stack in the upstairs bathroom.
I'm under the impression that the vent needs to be closer to the P trap (within 6 ft?) to be effective? Is this correct? If I need to put a vent within a short distance of the P trap, would it be valid to T into the waste line within a few feet of the P trap, run vertically up the ceiling in the basement, then turn and run horizontally for 10-12 feet, then turn and go vertically upstairs?
2. Adjacent to the main stack in the basement is an empty area where I hope to have a 2nd bathroom plumbed in the near future. What size PVC pipe should I use for a vent on the clothes washer line so I can tie into that in the future to vent fixtures in the 2nd bathroom (shower, sink, and toilet planned).
3. When I run the vent pipe up through the floor into the wall cavity of my upstairs bath, where should I elbow and connect into the upstairs vent? Should it be connected above the highest fixture (which would be the sink in the bathroom)?

By Matt Whewell//USA Swimming PR & Digital Communications Coordinator
USA Swimming's Matt Whewell is with the U.S. Short Course World Championship Team in Istanbul, Turkey. Matt is the media liaison for the team and will be blogging about his experience throughout the duration of the competition.
The first day of competition was quite successful for us. We walked away with four total medals, three of which were wins. I was also able to make the dreams of a few media members come true. Not really, but I like to think that way after every night.
Wednesday morning began with an awesome breakfast in the hotel. Waking up for it was the only issue. I think jetlag finally caught up to me as I woke up to my alarm and really wished I could turn it off and just keep sleeping. No can do in the life of a PR-pro. Instead I catching a few more z's, I grabbed a bite than boarded the early bus – 7:30 a.m. – for the venue since it was the first day of competition.
The bus was a typical, morning bus ride – quiet, some joking and laughing but mostly people trying to wake up.
When we got to the pool, the team and I split up. They went to the pool deck or the massage area to get ready while I went to the mixed zone to set up my shop. The mixed zone is where all the magic happens for the media. Interviews, quotes, filming, recording, press conferences are done from this location. The media here for the event is predominantly international so there are a lot of French, Italian and British members.
After mingling with some of the international folk, I decided to head up to the deck. That's where our head of security, Larry Buendorf, guided a young, Australian lady who had been looking for me over to where I was standing. Her name was Kathleen Rayment and she's the media liaison for Swimming Australia. If you think I'm lucky and have a cool job, Kathleen is only 21-years old, just graduating school and this is her first job. Talk about being lucky.
Spending hours in the mixed zone, we get pretty close with the other country's liaison since we understand what each other has to deal with. This is Kathleen's first major meet so, not to toot my own horn, but heard (hopefully) great things about me and wanted to talk before the meet began. We walked and talked about how things 'usual' go down in the mixed zone.
Right before the session begins, all the PR people come down and get ready for the heats. I'm normally joined by Australia, Great Britain, Canada and Japan. Australia wasn't the only new face for the veterans but Canada had a new PR person. Nathan White is the name and he blew out his knee two days before come to Istanbul. It's pretty funny – not in a haha way – to watch him hobble around with a straight leg as his swimmers blow right by him.
Prelims came and went in about three and a half hours. The first day of a meet is always the longest but once you get over the first one, they all seem to fly. With prelims have ended, our team is only given one copy of results to be passed around the coaches and the entire team. Being so close and having access to a surplus of results, I always snag a few extra to get on a coaches good side. It helps for when I need one of their swimmers to come back and do an interview (insert smiley face).
After getting back to the hotel and realizing the turnaround for bus that heads back to the pool was a small window, not much could be done. Answering emails, figuring out what swimmers can't talk in the mixed zone immediately after they swim because they have a double that night (or triple if your name is Ryan Lochte) and how the press conference schedule is going to happen.
We headed back to the pool at 4:30 p.m. for the finals that started at 7 p.m. The bus was filled with those that were swimming while an hour later another bus departed the hotel with swimmers who weren't swimmer that night but were coming to support their teammates.
I'm not going to bore you with details from the evening session. You can read the story from the night here. I will add that the last of us meaning Allison Schmitt, Anthony Ervin, Lochte, team manager Brandon (BD) Drawz, Jack Roach and myself didn't leave the pool until about 10:30 p.m. because of warm down swims, doping control and press conferences. That's a long day if you ask me.
I hammered out the release when I got back to the hotel, answered some emails since it was about 3 p.m. Mountain Time (5 p.m. ET) and my inbox was filling up and did some other tasks before I could call it a night. When I could, it was about 12:30 a.m. Again, the life of a PR-pro!
Thursday, December 13 started with another rough morning. It reminded me of working for a baseball team when you stay late at the stadium on a Saturday night but had to arrive early the next day for a Sunday day game. The quick turnaround is brutal but you honestly get used to it.
After grabbing a few extra start lists for our coaches and writing down what events have what swimmers, I was asked by some staff members to give them the lowdown on where they can get some coffee. One thing I've learned since I've been at USA Swimming for almost two year, coaches and staff LOVE them some coffee. Again, it's the little things you do for them that they remember when you need a favor from them and their swimmer.
Prelims came and went. Team USA did really well advancing eight individuals and holding the fourth seed in the men's 4x200m free relay. The only hiccup from this morning was a discrepancy on the timing monitor in the mixed zone during the women's 50m fly. Christine Magnuson swam a 25.83, the second-fastest swim of the morning, but the timing monitor registered her at 33.1 and had her in 69th. After a few phone calls we found out it was just technical difficulties with the monitor. For complete results, OmegaTiming.com has them.
In other news from this morning was Kathleen Hersey announced to the bus on the ride over that Olympic gold medalist Brendan Hansen and his wife Martha gave birth to a baby girl. Congrats, man!
Well, we're headed back to the hotel now and I'm going to try and squeeze in a short run with BD. Talk to you all later…
We headed back to the pool at 4:30 p.m. for the finals that started at 7 p.m. The bus was filled with those that were swimming while an hour later another bus departed the hotel with swimmers who weren't swimmer that night but were coming to support their teammates.

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
You all still have Zoidberg!

Holy crud monkeys, that is crazy. Gin is extremely dangerous and what in the world as aizon about to do?

Ok wow that was crazy
Pandaman FOR PRESDIENT
i wonder how itd feel to have your soul reconstructed... Im guessing he will be more hollow-like now, when it finishes... :-/
^he said before he would never turn himself into a hollow so aizen will probably say that it was god-like feeling.
what amuses me is gin saying his zan is not the longest but the fastest. So it means that there are zans out there longer than his
So Aizen's soul is understanding the will of the hougyuko? Is he about to become its Beatch?
Second, Aizen at his limit with no bankai? And Isshin might not even be in Shikai.

Psalm 42
The souls of the righteous thirst for God—The wicked say, Where is your God?
1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Real Brooklynites don't shrink from the cold. They spend the often-frigid first night of the year outside watching fireworks. They host blizzard parties. They bike to work in February. And they shop outside at their local farmers markets all winter long.
The Park Slope Farmers Market is keeping it real. For the first time, they're staying at their outdoor location at 5th Avenue and 4th Street, in front of PS 51, every Sunday right through the winter.
Miriam Haas, founder of Community Markets (which runs the Park Slope market) says staying outdoors will keep Brooklynites in touch with the seasons.
"If you're into the local food movement, you're probably someone who likes change. We sell the freshest varieties of produce that thrive in this region, season-by-season. Our shoppers are spontaneous–often people come to the market and then decide what to cook," she explained.
Thanks to some hearty (and forward-thinking) farmers, there will be more than just root vegetables to add to your winter pantries.
Hector Perez of Jersey Farm Produce is cultivating crops in 7,000 square feet of heated greenhouses. He's harvesting vitamin-rich leafy greens and other vegetables in the chill of winter.
"The people of Park Slope really support farmers," said Perez, "Our greenhouse produce is looking good and we're looking forward to the winter market."
Also at the market each Sunday, you'll find Fork and Glass, American Pride Seafood, Bombay Emerald Chutney Company, Bread Alone, Brooklyn Cured, Dr. Pickle, Breezy Hill Orchard and Cider Mill, Feather Ridge Farm, Hudson Valley Duck Farm, Migliorelli Farm, Mortgage Apple Cakes, The Pastures, Raaka Chocolate, Tierra Farm, YisRoyal (vegan cookie dough), Flour City Pasta, and Calcutta Kitchens. Baked goods from Made by Molly will return in March.
Of course, the Park Slope Farmers Market isn't the only game in town. The Grand Army Plaza (Saturday), Fort Greene (Saturday), McCarren Park/Greenpoint (Saturday), Carroll Gardens (Sunday), Courtelyou (Sunday), and Borough Hall (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) Greenmarkets are all sticking it out 'til spring as well, and the Greenmarket organization is dangling a carrot to lure shoppers out into the cold.
They're kicking off the 2012 edition of the Greenmarket Winter Challenge this weekend at all the winter markets with the exception of Borough Hall. Here's how it works:
The 12 week challenge begins next weekend (Jan 21 & 22) and runs through the first week of April. Shoppers should sign up this weekend (Jan 14 or 15) and check in at the info tent every time they shop. Those who check in in three of the twelve weeks get a Greenmarket tote bag. Hit your market six out of the twelve weeks to win a Greenmarket print by artist Claudia Pearson. And Greenmarket black belts who check in all 12 weeks in a row will win a "surprise Greenmarket neighborhood-proud prize and serious bragging rights!"
A little cold weather isn't keeping local farmers from loading up their trucks with fresh produce every week and driving it all the way in to the Brooklyn markets. It would be downright rude of us to just not show up, don't you think?
