Wineke: GOP needs to respect minorities
C3K columnist finds fault with GOP reasoning after election loss
I don't customarily pay attention to right-wing talk shows. I consider them to be mostly devoid of reality.
But, given the results of the election, I did wonder what Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly might have to say about things. For all I knew, they were going to proclaim victory.
Not quite. They all admitted their side lost the election. The reason why, they said, is that the country is no longer white; it now makes room for all sorts of people of color and those people of color want "stuff."
Uncle Sam is Santa Claus, Limbaugh asserts. Latinos want "stuff" and the Democrats are most likely to provide it, O'Reilly agrees.
Numerous right-wing blog postings quote Alex de Tocqueville saying that democracy is doomed since it "can only exist until voters discover they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. . ."
Actually, there is no evidence de Tocqueville ever said that and, even if he had, recent evidence suggests that it is the very rich who vote themselves tax breaks from the public treasury. But the quote sounds good.
But it is a common thread among the right. Obama won reelection because minorities want goodies and don't want to work.
There is a problem with this line of reasoning, however, and if I were a Republican leader I would be terrified by it.
Asian Americans favored Obama over Governor Romney by a three-to-one margin.
Think about the implications of that for a moment. If there is one group type-cast in our imaginations as being hard-working, willing to live in hovels so their children can go to Harvard, job-creating small business a entrepreneurs, it is the Asians.
And, while you are thinking about the implications of the Asian tilt toward Democrats, take another moment and think about our stereotypes of Latinos.
What do we think of when we think of people the Republicans call the "illegals?" We think of people climbing tall fences and risking death on the desert in order to find jobs building homes or landscaping golf courses.
And the African Americans? Romney spent part of his campaign trying to convince us that Obama wanted to take them out of their jobs and give them welfare, which, of course was a lie. But when I see someone doing a really miserable task, that person tends not to be white.
I suppose I shouldn't speak for minority groups, but it does seem to me that what they want is not "stuff" but respect. Respect for being a valuable part of the United States of America.
Unless the Republicans find a way to convey that respect (actually having respect might be good first step), they will never win elections.

Serves 8
4 Jerusalem artichokes
1 Tbs butter, melted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup watercress
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbs toasted cashew nuts
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt to taste
50g parmesan cheese
8 scallops
1 Tbs butter
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 Preheat oven to 200C. Peel the artichokes then slice finely. Toss in the melted butter and season.
2 Layer in a small baking dish which will allow 8 canape-sized portions to be cut out. Press down and bake for about 25 minutes or until tender.
3 To make the pesto; process all the ingredients, add salt to taste.
4 Have the scallops at room temperature. Heat the butter and olive oil together in a fry pan. When hot, add the scallops and cook until well seared and golden on one side, turn and repeat - this will only take 2 minutes per side.
5 Use a sharp knife to cut out squares of artichoke. Top with a small amount of watercress pesto, then a scallop. Garnish with a watercress sprig and a drizzle of oil.

24 Hour Crisis Line
victims and their children.
Are you in an abusive relationship?
You don't need scars or bruises to be a victim of abuse! Abuse occurs when behaviors are used to establish and maintain power and control over another person!
The victim can be any person - man, woman or child. Everyone in the household is affected by family violence.
Abusers are all ages and are found in all races, religions and socio-economic levels. Battering is a socially learned behavior.
Research and experience tell us that children learn how to interact with others from watching their parents and caregivers. Children who live in violent situations often grow up believing this is the correct way to solve problems. They are physically abused or seriously neglected at the rate of 1500% higher than the national average in the general population.

Anti-censorship organization Fight For The Future announced today that two billboards went up in San Antonio and Austin, Texas that patriotically shout a simple warning: "Don't mess with the Internet."
The announcement from FFTF:
SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith came close to destroying the Internet we love (it took the largest online protest in history to stop him). So we thought it would be awesome if the internet sent Lamar a message, in the form of a billboard right outside his Texas office.
Your donations funded *two* billboards in less than two days, which ruled.
The signs are going up in congressman Lamar Smith's Republican district (we've reported at Hammer of Truth as the much-despised author of the SOPA legislation). The SOPA legislative effort may have failed spectacularly, but these visual shots of discontent are still being fired in Smith's direction with two signs near two different district campaign offices.
Smith and others who wish to follow in the internet censoring footsteps are clearly going to have their hands full trying to get re-elected if these public shaming issue campaigns can so easily flex their muscles. They're certainly more more agile than a traditional candidate campaign.
On the downside here, they really ought to have put Lamar Smith's name on the billboard since they aren't exactly across the street from his offices. They did offer this semi-disclaimer on the placement:
(The first is as close to his San Antonio office as we could get: Loop 410, 500 ft. east of Nacogdoches. And the second is on Lamar Blvd. in Austin between 12th St and 15th St –his Austin office doesn't have any billboards nearby.)
The billboard jingo is certain to leave an impression on Internet-loving Texans nonetheless.
In the future we're fighting for, I hope to see them take this to a nationwide campaign. Instead of a Texan these though, I suggest turning the Gadsden flag snake into an ethernet cable bundle snake and the words "Don't tread on the Internet." That's a billboard banner the Internet's TCP/IP Party could get behind in internet censorship friendly congressional districts across the land.
UPDATE: I should have known some artist already thought of this. Go figure.

Recognition Criteria
The NAHRS Seal of Recognition Program is strictly voluntary. In order to be granted the Seal, there are certain requirements that must be met. The requirements vary depending on the product type.

The program is available to products, treatments, or medications that effect hair growth, hair shaft characteristics, or the condition of the scalp.
The Seal is awarded for up to a two-year period. Continued use of a Seal shall require completion of a renewal application and payment of applicable fees. NAHRS may withdraw recognition of a Seal at any time upon the occurrence of one or more events described herein.

Satisfied. . . . .
I bought this as a wedding present for my sister in law who does yoga on a daily basis and she loved it! I was initially surprised at how small it is (fits in your hand) but after playing around with it was pleased at the rich tones it produces. I might have to buy one for myself one day.
Love Love Love It!!!. . . . .
I am a singer/songwriter and Conversations With God Life Coach so I love this bowl on two levels: (1) as a professional musician—its tone is pure resonating perfection, and (2) as a spiritual communicator, its vibration puts me in my soul space so I can hear what wants to come through both for my own spiritual journey as well as that of others who I work with. I tried out many different bowls in the Ten Thousand Villages store in Nashville and picked this one for its beautiful appearance, feel, and tone. I recommend it to many of my life coaching clients.
A little gem!. . . . .
This singing is a solid weight. Sings effortlessly when rubbing the rim with a deep rich resonating tone and a higher melodic tone often at the same time. Very pleased with my first singing bowl and definitely not my last from Ten Thousand Villages.

Some people are surprised by some of the things Israeli President Reuven Rivlin has said and done. That just shows a real lack of historical perspective on the Israeli political scene.
In the United States and Europe, the Israeli right, epitomized by the Likud Coalition, has always been the "opponent of peace," while the Labor Party and, later, Kadima were the "pursuers of peace." This was always a false dichotomy. It would have been somewhat truer to say that supporters of Likud were usually, but far from always, opposed to the two-state solution that Oslo envisioned, while Labor and Kadima supported it.

We have been providing Australians with the high quality statistics necessary for informed decision making for over 100 years. Throughout 2013 the Australian Bureau of Statistics proudly supported the International Year of Statistics (IYOS) which was endorsed by our previous Australian Statistician Mr Brian Pink (2007-2013). Mr Pink emphasised that IYOS celebrates the important role statistics play in building a better nation for all Australians, and people in different countries all over the world.
During the International Year of Statistics more than 2,250 organisations including universities, research institutes, high schools, professional societies, government agencies and businesses in over 100 countries have joined to celebrate and promote the importance of statistics to businesses, governments, the media, policy makers, employers, academia, students and the community.
The steering committee decided at the end of 2013 that the IYOS initiative had been such a success they would create a new campaign called the World of Statistics which aims to continue the goals that were initially established for Statistics2013. These goals are:
- Increasing public awareness of the power and impact of statistics on all aspects of society
- Nurturing statistics as a profession, especially among young people
- Promoting creativity and development in the sciences of probability and statistics.
The World of Statistics Initiative aims to: promote the education, contribution, use and application of statistics in our every day lives; achieve their goals; and influence attitudes towards statistics.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics is keen to progress the goals of the World of Statistics through its own initiatives during 2014 and beyond, so stay tuned for more information and updates.

• hector •
hek-têr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Meaning: 1. [Noun] An intimidating braggart, a swaggering fellow, a blusterer, or bully. 2. [Verb] To bluster, brag, browbeat, and bully (repeatedly).
Notes: Hector and to hector are classical eponyms (see Word History). When encountered as proper noun, a male name, we are compelled to show it the respect of capitalization: Hector. When we use it as a common noun, we need not show it that much respect. It comes with an adjective, hectorly, an action noun, hectorism, as well as a personal noun, hectorer.
In Play: Today's Good Word normally implies repeatedly bullying: "Harley Davidson just won't stop hectoring me about his new motorcycle." However we use it, we must keep in mind that hectoring is generally looked upon as socially unacceptable: "Norman Conquest has been relieved of his duties for hectoring the boss over his worth to the company."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from the name of a hero at the Battle of Troy. The original sense of the common noun was "as valiant a warrior as Hector". As the meaning changed, the spelling hasn't, so the spelling of this word remains identical with that of Latin, which simply transliterated the Greek. The name comes from a Greek adjective hector "holding fast" from the verb hexein "to hold, have". Hectic was somehow derived from the same verb. (Let's give his due Rob Towart as a Hector [with a capital H] of vocabulary for submitting today's very Good Word.)

Monkeys Gone
Every win is vital, but perhaps none as important as Monday night. Trailing, 6-3, the Phillies scored four times to get the monkey off their back. Two walk-off wins in a row has to get the juices going.
Going into the game they were 0-42 when trailing after eight innings. The rally was reminiscent of the Phillies of the past years when they came from behind to pile up wins. They still have a huge mountain to climb.
Chase and Ryan went deep and that's another good sign. Now, we got to get Cliff rolling.
Joe Savery was the winner and he got a monkey off his back. Of his 18 appearances in the majors this season, last night was the first time he pitched in a win.
With the trade deadline next week, a flock of scouts were at the game. Twenty have asked for tickets for tonight. Sitting next to each other in the scout section Monday night were Pat Burrell (Giants) and Jim Fregosi (Braves).
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley lost its fourth in a row, 14-9, to Columbus. SS Andres Blanco hit his seventh home run, a grand slam.
Reading dropped a 7-1 decision to Altoona. 1B Darin Ruf, 17th homer, 62nd RBI.
Clearwater edged Dunedin, 2-1. LHS Austin Wright (9-4), 1 run, 7 innings. 1B Jim Murphy, 12th homer, 62nd RBI.
Lakewood lost, 5-4, in 10 innings at Hagerstown to fall out of first place. RF Aaron Altherr, 7th homer; 3B Maikel Franco, 10th home run.
Williamsport bowed to Mahoning Valley, 3-1.
Gulf Coast League Phillies were rained out at Lakeland (Tigers).
July 24,1995: Phillies drop an 11-3 decision to the Colorado Rockies, despite RHP Omar Olivares' pinch-home run, first by a Phillies pitcher since Schoolboy Rowe in 1943.
July 24, 1998: Phillies sweep a doubleheader against Florida, winning both games in the 12th inning (6-4 and 7-6). Mark Parent catches all 24 innings.

BETHEL -- A woman described as an aspiring pornography star and her father were arrested after a complaint from the woman's former girlfriend led to the discovery that the father and daughter were having a sexual relationship, Bethel police said.
George Sayers Jr., 46, and Tiffany Hartford, 23, of Nashville Road, were charged with third-degree sexual assault after DNA tests proved they were father and daughter and the parents of a child, according to an arrest warrant affidavit made public Tuesday in state Superior Court in Danbury.
They were also charged with obscenity and conspiracy to commit obscenity for allegedly distributing photos and videos of Hartford and the former girlfriend having sex. Both pleaded not guilty to all charges during their court appearances.
Police said the investigation began in February after the former girlfriend told them Sayers was selling the images, which he made with her consent when she and Hartford were dating several years earlier.
The woman, who was 16 or 17 at the time, said Hartford had introduced Sayers as her "husband/father." Even though she knew the encounters were being filmed, the woman was upset because he was selling the videos for $40 and the photos for $5 each without her approval, police said.
The images aren't considered to be child pornography because the woman was over the age of 16 when they were made, and the case doesn't fall under the state's voyeurism statute because she consented to having them taken, police said.
A search of Sayers' computer turned up similar images, as well as a commercial video crediting him with being the producer, of Hartford dressed in risque outfits and posed in sexually provocative positions, police said.
Hartford told police that prior to becoming pregnant, she had aspirations of starring in pornography films, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
In separate interviews, both Sayers and Hartford initially denied knowing they were father and daughter, although Sayers said at one point he believed that Hartford was the daughter of his deceased brother, police said.
They were arrested by police Monday after a DNA test proved that Sayers was not only Hartford's father, but also the father of her child, according to court documents.

Recipe File: Grilled Pork Chops
Article Digest:
It seems the site has survived the unexpected rush of hits, so now it's time to return to the reason why I have this site: food and cooking.
I made my grilled pork chops a few days ago. Done correctly, pork chops can be juicy, fragrant and delicious. The recipe begins the night before with a rub, refrigeration, and finally grilling.
First, we'll need to start with the spice rub. You'll have your preference, but here's the one I created. I use 2 parts paprika, 2 parts chili powder, 1 part light brown sugar, 1 part salt, 1 part ground black pepper, 1 part crushed red pepper, and 1 part cumin. The rub can be made in any quantity and stored for use later. For a small amount use a teaspoon, for a large quality use a 1/4 cup (or more) per part.
Now, I grind the cumin and red pepper in a spice grinder until powdery.
Pour the spices together into an available spice jar. I had just finished a container of dried rosemary, so I used it after washing (and drying!). A salt shaker would work just as well.
Laying out the pork chops, I liberally sprinkled the surface with the rub. Then I took one to two teaspoons of dried thyme and sprinkled it over. Using my tongs, I pressed the rub and thyme into the chops before flipping and repeating the rub and thyme sprinkling.
The pork chops should refrigerate for about 8 hours before grilling to help the flavors really get into the meat. If in a hurry, I recommend at least an hour of refrigeration.
Build a two level fire if using charcoal and grill the chops over high heat for three minutes on each side (or until browned). Move to lower heat and cook until an instant read thermometer registers 145°F (63°C) [336 K].
Let stand for five minutes and serve!
Please note that trichinella larvae (the cause of trichinosis or trichinellosis) can survive in temperatures up to 170°F (78°C) [350K], but this usually produces a tough piece of pork. You can avoid danger of trichinosis by freezing the pork at 5°F (-15°C) [258 K] for 20 days. This will effectively kill any trichinella larvae.

Warning: Making pork safe by freezing requires LOWER temperatures according to the National Pork Producers Council:
"Freezing - Experiments have been performed
to determine the effect of cold temperatures
on the survival of T. spiralis in
pork. Predicted times required to kill
trichinae were 8 minutes at -200 C (-40 F),
64 minutes at -150 C (50 F), and 4 days at -
100 C (140 F). Trichinae were killed instantaneously
at -23.30 C (-100 F). The U.S.
Department of Agriculture's Code of
Federal Regulations, requires that pork
intended for use in processed products be
frozen at -17.80 C (00 F) for 106 hours, at -
20.60 C (-50 F) for 82 hours, at -23.30 C (-100
F) for 63 hours, at -26.10 C (-150 F) for 48
hours, at -28.90 C (-200 F) for 35 hours, at -
31.70 C (-250 F) for 22 hours, at -34.50 C (-300
F) for 8 hours, and at -37.20 C (-350 F) for
0.5 hours. These extended times take into
account the amount of time required for
temperature to equalize within the meat
along with a margin of safety."

I've found most pork chops rather dry-- a result of pork farmers mania for low fat products.
Have you tried brining the chops? I use 1/2 cup of kosher salt and 1/2 cup of sugar, dissolved in a gallon of water. Then I soak the chops for 12 hours, rinse and dry them, then apply the rub. The chops are noticably moister.

Krikey! Here I was thinking the odds of getting trichinosis were insignificant these days, cooking my pork "just right", and relishing every bite!
Perhaps you could include ingredient risk assessments here...
Cool site.

From CDC.gov:
"Is trichinellosis common in the United States?
Infection was once very common and usually caused by ingestion of undercooked pork. However, infection is now relatively rare. During 1997-2001, an average of 12 cases per year were reported. The number of cases has decreased because of legislation prohibiting the feeding of raw-meat garbage to hogs, commercial and home freezing of pork, and the public awareness of the danger of eating raw or undercooked pork products. Cases are less commonly associated with pork products and more often associated with eating raw or undercooked wild game meats."

Trichinella spiralis dies at 137F degrees. See below:
Cooking pork until it is 160F is unnecessary. Wild game meat is the main source of infection these days, and only a few instances per year. You are more likely to get sick from your meat being than infected (thousands of times more likely).
Juicy, rare(r) pork is not bad for you in these fancy dancy modern times.

I would not really recommend letting a dry rub sit for 8 hours. Dry rubs contain a significant amount of salt and for that long of a period of time, it will pull out a significant amount of water. This sometimes is a desired effect (as in aging beef) but since pork is so famously dry I'd imagine this isn't what you're going for.
If you're investing 8 hours, I'd go with a brine. You'll infuse quite a bit of moisture into the pork chop. You're rubs kind of more complicated than it needs to be. Chili powder already contains a fair amount of paprika. I'd cut out the paprika and just increase the amount of chili powder.
I'd be very wary of exposing crushed red pepper flakes to that high of a heat too. You're probably going to burn them. This is all being picky though (engineers are supposed to go for perfect though right :-)).
This recipe also works well for any sort of high, dry heat cooking method. You could interchange either broiling or pan-frying here. You could also combind if you're dealing with a thick pork chop. Just sear the outsides in a wicked hot cast iron pan, then pop the pan in the oven at about 350 and cook to temperature.
I find cast-iron searing produces a better crust than grilling. In the 10 minute cooking time, I'd wager grilling won't infuse any real additional flavors either.
Just my thoughts, great site btw :-)

Oh Criminy,
If you're buying quality meat (pork that is) you don't have worry. If you're buying grocery store slag pork then you have more problems than we can deal with. I've got 26 years of eating good food (pork) and have YET to get sick from it. Lighten up people, this isn't 1956.
Dry Pork Chops? Start with a cold pan and bring it up from there. However, most dry pork chops come from having the chop sliced too thin (less expensive for the consumer). You'll need something at least 3/4" or 1" for it to come out nicely.
Or wrap a piece of applewood smoked bacon around the sucker, that'll infuse some nice flavors.
In any case I will usually lay down a piece of bacon on top to give it some pop. Pork always goes good with pork. Or beef.
Yes, brining pork chops RULE. But you'd have to be thinking ahead. And most of us Americans don't. Think ahead.
NO, marinating meat in salt doesn't dry anything out. Sorry. I use Rock Salt from some little place in Italy, cover my chickens for up to 2 to 3 days. NO problem. Check out the Zuni.

Basilica of San Francisco el Grande
Tavern in the La Latina quarter
Контактная информация
Barrio de La Latina
Madrid (Madrid Region)
- Автономное сообщество: Madrid Region
- Провинция / Остров: Madrid
La Latina is one of the most genuinely authentic neighbourhoods in the city of Madrid. It is located in the centre, and its mediaeval streets are arranged around the squares of La Cebada and La Paja.
The streets in this neighbourhood are an illustration of the most popular side of Madrid. This district is much frequented by Madrid locals thanks to its numerous bars, pubs and traditional taverns full of character in streets such as Cava Baja, Cava Alta and right in the squares of La Cebada and La Paja. Although it tends to be very lively all the time, the atmosphere is particularly animated in the evenings and at weekends. Additionally, every Sunday the neighbouring streets are home to Madrid's famous El Rastro open-air street market. Another good time to visit this neighbourhood is during the festivities in honour of the Virgin of La Paloma, which take place around 15 August and are some of the most authentic celebrations in Madrid. The streets are filled with cheerful high spirits, there is popular dancing for all, and many madrileños dress up as chulapos and chulapas in the typical regional costumes. Other sights of interest in the La Latina quarter are the basilica of San Francisco el Grande and the park of Las Vistillas, which is the ideal spot for watching the sunset against the backdrop of the cathedral of Santa María Real de la Almudena. This neighbourhood today is on the site of what was Madrid's first urban walled enclosure in the Middle Ages, and even now some remains of the defensive wall which originally surrounded it can still be seen. In the past this area was mainly occupied by artisans and manual workers, and the squares of both the Plaza de la Cebada ('barley square') and the Plaza de la Paja ('straw square') were home to busy markets selling farm produce and fodder respectively.

Bernie Sanders campaign gets another win in Colorado
UPDATED: Bernie Sanders supporters won Colorado's three seats on the Democratic National Committee, ousting longtime party leaders and Hillary Clinton loyalists.
The Democratic delegates at the state convention elected Terry Tucker, Jeri Shepherd and Mike Hamrick, the party announced late Monday. Sanders supporters pushed the slate and worked to get them elected at the party confab Saturday in Loveland, though the campaign said it didn't officially endorse them.
The selections give party outsiders a foothold in the state and national Democratic leadership amid concerns about bias toward Clinton and other establishment candidates. Sanders' strong showing at precinct and county level party meetings helped him stack the deck at the state convention — where he won the straw poll and claimed a majority of the delegates.
But his big showing does little to help with superdelegates in the 2016 election. The new DNC members will take office the day after the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia.

Jesus is Alive! We have reason to celebrate! I hope that you, dear visitor to our little blog, know the hope that is found in Jesus.
every knee will bow (including your own) and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. This won't be spiritual knees in some ethereal fantasy land. You, my friend, will have a body on that day, and you will bow before the King of the universe.
He desires that you know Him and worship Him now, in your brief life on the earth. By His very real death and resurrection, He has made the way for you to have True Life. To know God and be transformed into His image. You do not have to be a slave to sin!
This is what we celebrate today.
An egg hunt might seem like a silly way to celebrate, but there is something to be found in the symbols of searching , finding hidden treasure, within eggs (representing new life), and the opening of that egg to find a surprise gift waiting inside (like discovering the open tomb, and the surprise gift of the resurrection of the Messiah).
Find all of our most recent photos in our April 2011 album (including Abigail's science project and our Easter egg hunt).
