Before this budget season, a balanced budget in California was whatever the legislature said was a balanced budget.
Now, a balanced budget is whatever the governor and controller say is a balanced budget.
The California budget is still mostly nonsense. But different people and institutions get to decide what nonsense can pose as real.
U.S. & World
For all the talk about the process being transformed this year, this change in authority over a broken process is the only thing that's really changed.
The shift came as a result of Controller John Chiang's decision, under Prop 25, to stop paying legislators after Gov. Brown vetoed the budget they passed on June 15.
Chiang's logic and defense of the decision was questionable. (He bizarrely took issue not with the fictions and accounting gimmicks in the budget but with an actual cut--a deferral of education money that had been done without the two-thirds vote required in matters of educational spending).
In the end, Chiang approved pay to legislators after they made the budget even phonier, by assuming $4 billion in additional revenues would come into the state.
The controller's office made clear that this budget was OK precisely because Gov. Brown approved it.
In effect, the controller ruled that a budget is now balanced when a governor says it is.
That's a significant power shift in Sacramento. But it doesn't change life for the rest of us; we're stuck with a budget process that makes very little sense.

Energy and computers help push five Texas counties into the top 10 job markets in a new CNN Money survey.
The website's study tracks a decade of growth in 2000-11 and ranks a total of 25 U.S. counties based on job opportunities and quality of life.
(See the full list and CNN Money's analysis here.)
Virginia's Loudon County takes the No. 1 spot with 83.6 percent job growth thanks to Verizon Business, AOL and other high-tech firms that give the area its nickname, "Data Center Alley."
South Texas' own Fort Bend County, with the cities of Sugar Land and Missouri City, ranks second at 78.1 percent growth thanks to oil services firms like Schlumberger and CVR Energy.
CNN Money also credits Fluor Enterprises' plans to add 2,000 jobs in a future expansion at the engineering firm and takes note of 100 more jobs here after Team Industrial Services relocates its headquarters to the area.
With anchor cities of Round Rock, Cedar Park and Georgetown, Williamson County ranks third in the CNN list at 73.8 percent growth. That's mostly due to Dell's 13,000 employees in Austin's "super suburbs." The survey also credits Thermo Fisher Scientific plans to move health care equipment production and 150 jobs from Wisconsin.
Energy firms also put The Woodlands and Montgomery County on the CNN survey map at No. 4 with 63.5 percent growth over the decade. Anadarko Petroleum is noted for building a skyscraper for 1,700 workers by 2014 and Exxon Mobil's 385-acre campus will bring some 2,000 jobs from other states.
No. 5 on the list goes to Douglas County, Colo., and its cities of Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock, strategically located between Denver and Colorado Springs.
Texas' Collin County follows at No. 6 in the survey, with the cities of Frisco, Allen, Plano and McKinney seeing 55.9 percent growth, especially among younger families. CNN notes it's no longer a "country cousin" of Dallas-Fort Worth, thanks to Denbury Resources creating hundreds of jobs with its oil and gas campus expansion in Plano even as big employers J.C. Penney and HP have downsized.
The final Texas entry in the list, at No. 7, is Denton County, with 53.4 percent growth over the decade. The CNN survey credits Peerless Manufacturing's expansion plans and University of North Texas' boost to local economies in anchor towns of Flower Mound, Lewisville and Denton.
The Top 10 rounds out with Prince William County, Va., and its proximity to the D.C. Beltway; Suffolk County, Va., with the Navy's four commands, plus a giant Planters peanut processing center; and finally, Tennessee's Williamson County ranks with Viacom, Verizon Wireless, Nissan Americas and United Health Group.
The rest of the Top 25 counties are:
11. Sarpy County, Neb.
12. Wake County, N.C.
13. Faulkner County, Ark.
14. Houston County, Ga.
15. Bonneville County, Idaho
16. Cass County, N.D.
17. Lafayette County, La.
18. Burleigh County, N.D.
19. Leon County, Fla.
20. Johnson County, Iowa
21. Anchorage County, Alaska
22. Pennington County, S.D.
23. Minnehaha County, S.D.
24. Washington County, Tenn.
25. Garfield County, Okla.

Sacramento (city, United States)
Sacramento (săkrəmĕn´tō), city (1990 pop. 369,365), state capital and seat of Sacramento co., central Calif., on the Sacramento River at its confluence with the American River; settled 1839, inc. 1850. A deepwater port via a 43-mi (69-km) channel to Suisun Bay (opened 1963), it is the shipping, rail, processing, and marketing center for the fertile Sacramento valley, where fruit, vegetables, grains, sugar beets, and dairy goods are produced. Cattle and poultry are raised, and food processing is a major industry. Aerospace and computer and electronics industries contribute greatly to the city's economy. Other manufacturing includes printing and publishing, glass, wood products, and building materials. Government is a major employer.
Sacramento is the seat of California State Univ. Sacramento, and has a professional basketball team, the Kings. Points of interest include the state capitol (in a beautiful park), the former governor's mansion (occupied 1903–68; now a museum), Sutter's Fort, the Crocker Art Museum, and the Golden State Museum. The city is known for its camellias; a camellia festival is held annually along with the California State Fair and Exposition.
Sacramento lies on part of a Mexican land grant that belonged to John A. Sutter, who in 1839 began a settlement called New Helvetia and in 1840 built a fort. The discovery of gold in 1848 at nearby Sutter's Mill (now Coloma) led to the platting of the town, and its population soon reached 10,000. Sacramento was made the state capital in 1854. The city annexed adjacent North Sacramento in 1965. In the late 20th cent. Sacramento was one of the fastest-growing U.S. cities.

It's the last week of the ModCloth Spring Fever Blogger Challenge! It has been a lot of fun (and quite the challenge!) participating and seeing our different takes on the looks. This week we were asked to style the Composition VII Hat. Did I wear it backwards? Is the bow supposed to go in the front? I'm not sure, but it's cute either way. I like that it has a vintage feel, but with a modern pattern. Be sure to check out how all three of the other gals styled it...I think this is our most diverse challenge yet! I decided to take it a little over the top, with the intense makeup, brightly hued top and a new Postlapsaria skirt. Sometimes it's fun to be over the top and break some rules. Dark eyes and lips...garish, but fun!
It has been inspiring to see how four different girls style each piece we were given. I'm sad it's over! When Turi asked me to participate, I was really excited - I love anything that forces me to get creative. It really helped me get out of my rut (and think outside of the suitcase), having a fun little challenge every week. Maybe I'll start doing something like this more often, only with items already existing in my closet. It will be a fun way to make sure I utilize all of my neglected garments.
Be sure to click on any of the pictures and vote for your favorite look:)
Outfit Details:
Composition VII hat - courtesy of ModCloth
skirt - Postlapsaria
belt - thrifted
shoes - courtesy of Seychelles
shirt - thrifted
tights - Target
gloves - vintage, Hourglass Consignment (available on postlapsaria right now)

UNITED NATIONS, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Iran's U.N. ambassador on Monday issued Tehran's most unambiguous statement so far on Iranian participation in this week's peace talks on Syria, saying that Iran will definitely not take part if it is required to accept a June 2012 deal agreed in Geneva.
"If the participation of Iran is conditioned to accept Geneva I communique, Iran will not participate in Geneva II conference," Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said in a statement after U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon suggested he was reconsidering his invitation to Iran to attend the talks.
The Geneva I communique, agreed in June 2012, called for a political transition in Syria that would replace the current government and end the Syrian civil war, which has been raging for nearly three years.
Ban earlier said he was disappointed that Iran had made statements repudiating Geneva I after telling him it could accept the June 2012 deal. (Reporting by Louis Charbonneau)

March is International Women's Month. It's a good a time to talk about sexual politics in dancehall culture which is often dismissed by outsiders as misogynist. But dancehall culture can be seen in a quite different way as a celebration of full-bodied female sexuality. Especially the substantial structure of the Black working-class woman whose body image is rarely validated in the middle-class Jamaican media!
The uninhibited display of female bodies in the dancehall is vividly illustrated in the lyrics of two foundation deejays whose endurance is legendary: Shabba Ranks and Lady Saw. References to fleshy female body parts and oscillatory functions should not be seen just as devaluation of female sexuality.
In "Gone Up," from the As Raw as Ever 1991 CD, Shabba, playing on the proverbial association between food and sex, notes that the price of a number of commodities is going up. To a chorus of affirmative female voices, he asks women a rather pointed question and proceeds to give advice on negotiating a mutually beneficial sexual contract:
Woman, wa unu a do fi unu lovin?
(Wi a raise it to)
Before yu let off di work
Yu fi defend some dollars first
Mek a man know seh
Ten dollar can't buy French cut
No mek no man work yu out
A body line, old truck.
'Everything a raise'
Shabba makes it clear that he's not advocating prostitution. The complicated relationships between men and women cannot be reduced to purely economic terms of exchange. He insists that men must assume responsibility for their sexual partner. It's a moral issue:
Is not a matter a fact seh dat unu a sell it.
But some man seh dat dem want it.
As dem get it, dem run gone lef it.
No mek no man run gone lef it
An yu no get profit
Everything a raise, so weh unu a do?
Shabba encourages robotic, domesticated females to stand up for themselves. They are often too timid to question the unequal exchange of services and resources in the household:
Have some woman gwaan like dem no worth
Hitch up inna house like a house robot
House fi clean, dem clean dat up
An clothes fi wash, dem wash dat up
An dollars a run an dem naa get enough
Shabba chastises irresponsible men who waste household resources on carousing with their male cronies:
Now yu have some man no want do no spending
Dem wuda do di spending pon dem bredrin
An naa buy dem darling a icymint.
An icymint is one of the cheapest sweets on the market. The depth of the delinquent man's failure is measured in very common currency.
Erotica or pornography?
Lady Saw would certainly not put up with this kind of cheap man. In a decisive act of feminist emancipation, she cuts loose from conventional social expectations. Marian Hall's spectacular performance of the role of "Lady Saw" is not often acknowledged as a calculated decision by the actress to make the best of the opportunity to earn a good living in the theatre of the dancehall.
Flamboyantly exhibitionist, Lady Saw embodies the erotic. But one viewer's erotica is another's pornography. So Lady Saw is usually censured for being far too loose—or "slack". Even worse, she is often dismissed as a mere victim of patriarchy, robbed of all power. But it is Lady Saw's anansi-like personality that appeals to a wide cross-section of intelligent fans – both male and female.
In addition to the sexually explicit songs for which she is infamous, Lady Saw's repertoire includes impeccable hymns, country and western laments, songs of warning to women about the wiles of men and politically "conscious" lyrics that constitute hardcore socio-cultural analysis.
In a radio interview in the "Uncensored" series on Fame FM, Lady Saw boldly countered charges of vulgarity with absolute self- assurance:
Interviewer: Lady Saw, you do things like, yu grab yu crotch on stage. . . .
Lady Saw: Uh huh. Michael Jackson did it and nobody say anything about it.
Interviewer: And you gyrate on the ground. I mean, do you think this is acceptable for a woman?
Lady Saw: Yes, darling. For this woman. And a lot of woman would like to do the same but I guess they are too shy.
Shyness is not one of Lady Saw's virtues. In response to the question, "Some people are saying that you are vulgar on stage and your lyrics are indecent. Do you think they are justified?", she dismissively asserts: "I think critics are there to do their job and I am here to my job . . . to entertain and please my fans."
Aphrodisiac Avocado
So who's in charge of the rompin' shop? In the case of Shabba Ranks and Lady Saw it's a clear draw. And, not so surprisingly, even the frontrunners of the reggae revival are singing rompin' shop songs. Last Thursday evening, Janine 'Jah9' Cunningham gave a brilliant lecture at the University of the West Indies, Mona, tracing her musical journey to her first CD, New Name.
One of Jah9's sweetest tracks 'bigs up' her 'humble lion' who is almost seven feet tall and wears size 14. He satisfies her with the 'right remedy': avocado. The aphrodisiac qualities of this fruit are well known. At the album launch at Redbones, she put on the mask of her sunglasses to sing "Avocado".
Jah9's lecture was the first in a series of 'Reggae Talks' that are being hosted by the Department of Literatures English. Protoje will give this week's lecture on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the Neville Hall Lecture Theatre (N1). No-Maddz, Cali P and Michael 'Freestylee' Thompson follow. The public is invited and admission is free. The reggae dancehall rompin' shop has many rooms.

Temporary House by Anna Rita Emili
Anna Rita Emili Creates The The Abode of The Outside Temporary House
Anna Rita Emili, the author of the displayed design Anna Rita Emili's the abode of the outside temporary house illustrates, The movement of architecture as it acquires subjectivity replacing the individual. Moving parts and elements through operations such as rotating, sliding, flowing, overturning etc. it is possible to reach infinite spatial conditions in a short time no one of which prevail. According to us this represents an alternative and different way of perceiving the space in which architecture expresses itself, not only through the searching for a form, which for us has a deductive character, but through pure and simple gesture. Just through action you can always reach different expressions. .

Ancestry.com has created two great Knowledge Base Articles on this topic.
The difference between Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker
Family Tree Maker compared to Ancestry.com trees when using TreeSync
I thought I would focus on some of the obvious differences.
To Do / Task List
When you open FTM2014, you are taken to the Plan Workspace. I have blogged that I have a lot of Filenotes as High Priority items, that briefly explain how I enter certain pieces of information. Below is my "To Do" or Task List. The medium priority items, as I am using them, are pieces of information that I need to find for that person. For example, I'll look at the person's timeline and create a new To Do item for any census years that I have not yet found. So when I open FTM2014, I am looking at what I have to do.
I can filter and sort this list in a number of ways. For example, only show those Tasks, dealing with Census Records.
You can't see my To Do list in the AMT.
Research Log.
I keep a brief research log for each person. I found this person on two separate days, and looked at 5 records.
For example: that first entry says "1920 Census, Missouri - Place Holder - Birth Location of the Father of Cynthia Serena Rutter". That may not mean anything to any one else, but that 1920 Census Record for Cynthia indicated were her father was born. If I were to look at the list of Names for this person, I would have a Citation to the 1920 Census, but his name would have been entered at "_____ Rutter". I am guessing that is his Surname at this point, and there is no indication of his name, but I wanted to capture where he was born.
You can't see that in the AMT.
The Residence fact for 1860 has a note (the 1 in the 3 columns of numbers on the right), where I record information from the Census Record as to who was in the household at the time, and record ONLY the Head of Household's information, but paste that same note into each persons Residence fact for 1860 that was in the household.
I do this to make it easier for me to see who the selected person was within that household. I don't have to go look at the Census Record, although it is there in the Source, but this "trick" has worked for me.
You can't see that in the AMT.
Also, the above image shows a Find-A-Grave Fact but there is a "lock" ICON to the left of the fact name. That is a Private Fact and will NOT be seen online. I use it for reports and the filter in / filter out features.
This next example shows a person with 4 different Name Facts, one of which is the Preferred Fact. This is the one that will be seen in the People Workspace, Family View. I record each fact the way that the record reported that fact. I will have to deal with that on my own by evaluating the information presented.
I had mentioned earlier about seeing a Census Record with the Birth Location. That is the bottom entry. What I believe to be the correct full name is the Preferred Name.
Looking at the People Workspace, Family view, only the Preferred Name is displayed. You have to go to the Person View to see that there are other names.
Going to the AMT, Pedigree View we see the same information. These two views appear to be the same, or at least very close.
In the AMT, you can also see those other names IF you know where to look. Selecting the Profile ICON for this person Facts and sources you will see:
So all of those other names and sources are shown.
They can be seen in both places but you need to know where to look.
FTM2014 Media Files can individually be made Private. For example: I have headstone pictures from Find-A-Grave. However, I do NOT have permission to use them. I can have them in my FTM2014 file but I will NOT put them in the AMT for others to see.
In this file I have 146 Media files. 35 of them came from a Web Merge from Ancestry.com, so they won't be in the Gallery in the AMT 92 Media files are marked as Private, as I do not have permission to post them in the AMT. The remaining 17 will be in the Gallery.
Bottom line on this, for me at least, the important data in my file is available in the AMT I must be aware and anyone I am sharing this AMT with needs to be aware that everything is NOT in the AMT.

Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco caused a stir at a private inaugural event by busting out a song critical of President Obama.
At the StartUp RockOn concert, Lupe performed his song, "Words I Never Said," which includes these lyrics:
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist. Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say s---. That's why I ain't vote for him, next one, either. I'm part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful."
Lupe, an outspoken critic of Obama who once called the president "the biggest terrorist," was escorted offstage by security guards. A few fans shouted, "Lupe!" but most booed.
Lupe has also been acting erratically in Chicago lately. After getting into a Twitter beef with Chief Keef, he threatened to quit the music business. And last week, he announced he'd scrapped plans to release a follow-up to his popular "Food & Liquor" album.
Hypervocal, one of the party's sponsors, Tweeted after the show that it was "Disappointed that an artist took opportunity to use an event celebrating innovation/startups to make a political statement."
I'm sure Hypervocal would not have been disappointed if Lupe had made a political statement by singing Obama's praises. But they should have known who they were hiring before they invited him to the party. I'm sure they thought Chicago + rapper=Obama fan. That may be the case with Common, Rhymefest, Twista and Kid Sister, but it's not the case with Lupe.

Add More Color to Your Diet
Peter Tak
The latest research shows that one of the best ways to lose weight and boost your health is to eat a host of colors. Trouble is, eight in 10 people in the United States don't consume enough of a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, which means they face a nutrient deficit, according to a recent analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys and the USDA. Here's a kaleidoscope of inspiration to punch up your next meal.
Torch Calories
Move over, Wheaties. The new breakfast of champions is red chili peppers — seriously. People whose morning meal included the spicy vegetable were less hungry after breakfast and ate less fat at lunch, a study in the British Journal of Nutrition found. "Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their bite, increases the production of appetite-suppressing hormones called catecholamines," says Sasson Moulavi, MD, a physician in Boca Raton, Florida, who specializes in weight control.
Fresh idea: Add diced red chili peppers to scrambled eggs or top a whole wheat English muffin with low-fat ricotta cheese and chopped chilies.
Whiten Your Teeth
Brush, floss...and snack on strawberries? Yup. It turns out that the fruit contains salicylic acid, a natural tooth whitener. "Strawberries are a potent plaque fighter, and they actually contain a mild bleaching agent that's used in many commercial products," says Janice Cox, coauthor of Eco Beauty.
Fresh idea: Puree a handful of fresh strawberries and add it to iced green tea.
Step Up Your Sweat Session
Go longer by tossing beets into your salad. Researchers discovered that this vegetable helped cyclists increase their endurance by up to 16 percent. "Beets seem to reduce the amount of oxygen the body uses during exercise," says exercise physiologist Stephen Bailey of Exeter University in England. "The result is muscles that can tolerate high-intensity exercise longer."
Fresh idea: Drizzle beets with red wine vinegar and olive oil, then roast. Or saute with onions and garlic.
Peter Tak
Protect Your Breasts
Regularly including mangoes in your diet could help prevent cancer by warding off free-radical damage. Researchers at Texas A&M University in College Station found that mango extract contains various polyphenolics, compounds they think may inhibit the growth of an aggressive breast cancer cell.
Fresh idea: Combine sliced mango and jicama for a refreshing salad or sprinkle wedges with lime juice and chili powder.
Outrun Muscle Cramps
If you want to up your potassium intake, dig in to a sweet potato; one baked spud contains nearly 30 percent more of the nutrient than a banana. "Potassium is important to fitness because it helps ensure proper muscle movement and prevents cramping," says Elizabeth Ward, RD, author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to the New Food Pyramids. Bonus: The veggie is a great source of muscle-building copper, too.
Fresh idea: Don't fry sweet potatoes. This cooking method reduces the amount of potassium they contain. Instead, mash or bake 'em.
Think Like a Genius
Pumpkins, and especially their seeds, pack a zinc punch. Scientists discovered that people who took a zinc supplement laced with other micronutrients performed better on memory, reasoning, and hand-eye-coordination tests than those who took the micronutrients alone. "Zinc is essential for proper brain function, including aiding in neurotransmissions, which help you think clearly," explains researcher Harold Sandstead, MD, professor emeritus at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
Fresh idea: Whip up pumpkin muffins or pumpkin pancakes. Toss some roasted seeds onto a salad for a flavorful crunch.
Peter Tak
Boost Your Energy
Most people think that oranges are the vitamin C superstars, but the truth is, yellow bell peppers have nearly three and a half times as much. The newest reason to get your C: People who popped the supplement burned more fat than those who were deficient, according to a treadmill study from Arizona State University in Mesa. "Your body needs the vitamin to produce carnitine, a compound in muscles that converts fat into energy," says lead study author Carol Johnston, PhD, RD, the director of the university's nutrition program.
Fresh idea: Add yellow peppers to a stir-fry, or layer them on a turkey sandwich for crunch.
Beat Bloat
Pineapple makes it a cinch to zip up your skinny jeans. "It contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps break food down so that it speeds through your system faster, reducing bloat," explains Jonny Bowden, PhD, author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth.
Fresh idea: Make a salad of pineapple, red onion, and mint, or grill pineapple rings for a turkey burger topping.
See More Clearly
Here's another reason to enjoy yellow corn on the cob tonight: It's packed with the antioxidants zeaxanthin and lutein, aka "nature's sunglasses," according to Ward. "Zeaxanthin and lutein work together to block harmful light that can cause damage to your eyes over time," she says.
Fresh idea: Add frozen kernels to your favorite gazpacho recipe, or spread a mixture of butter, chopped fresh herbs (try basil and oregano), and a pinch of salt on corn on the cob.
Peter Tak
Get Your Glow On
Popeye's favorite is good for your complexion. "The vitamin A in spinach protects skin from UV damage and ensures healthy cell turnover, which keeps you looking radiant," Cox says.
Fresh idea: Steam and toss spinach with garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, or use the leaves to fill out a sandwich.
Slim Down
Pears may help you kick hunger. Researchers in Brazil put two groups of overweight women on almost identical diets. The only difference was that one group ate about three small pears a day; the other had oat cookies with the same number of calories. The result: The fruit eaters lost more weight. "Because pears contain water and are an excellent source of fiber, they keep you full longer. Plus, the fiber guards against drastic blood sugar spikes that can lead to overeating," notes Amy Kweller, RD, a nutrition professor at Johnson & Wales University in Denver.
Fresh idea: Core pears, drizzle with honey, and bake for a sweet treat. Or add them to a grilled cheese sandwich.
Lift Your Mood
Feeling frazzled? Instead of reaching for a candy bar, try an avocado. It's packed with monounsaturated fat, which provides a pick-me-up. "The building blocks of brain cells are predominantly fat. If you don't eat enough, you get grouchy, crabby and depressed," says Susan Kleiner, PhD, RD, author of The Good Mood Diet. "Just make sure they're the healthy fats."
Fresh idea: Drizzle sliced avocado with lime juice, brush with olive oil, and grill; then season with salt. Or make kebabs with avocado chunks, grape tomatoes, and mini mozzarella balls.
Peter Tak
Purple and Blue
Fight the Flu
It's too hot for chicken noodle soup. So if you need to ward off summer sniffles, try plums. "The stone fruit contains neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids, natural compounds that have been shown to inhibit the growth of viruses and bacteria in lab tests," Bowden says.
Fresh idea: Instead of jelly, put thinly sliced plum on a peanut butter sandwich. Or puree the fruit, pour it into ice cube trays, and freeze it to use in summer drinks.
Improve Your Memory
Munch on blueberries to keep your brain nimble. They can help stave off dips in concentration, memory, and logical thinking, researchers at the University of Reading in England say. "Berries improve blood flow to the brain, which keeps cells in top shape," explains study author Jeremy Spencer, MD. "Also, they contain certain flavanoids that help us store memories better."
Fresh idea: Mix blueberries into Rice Krispies treats or add a few to maple syrup and warm on the stove for a perfect pancake topper.
Fuel Up for a Workout
Raisins are an excellent preworkout snack. Athletes who ate the dried fruit 45 minutes before an hour of exercise performed just as well as those who had a sports gel, according to San Diego State University researchers. "Raisins are a stellar source of simple sugars, which are a key source of energy," says lead researcher Mark Kern, PhD, RD, a professor of nutrition at the university.
Fresh idea: Pop a few raisins before or during a run for some get-up-and-go.
Peter Tak
Build Up Your Bones
Leeks are great for fending off osteoporosis because they're packed with inulin, a plant fiber that has been shown to increase calcium absorption by up to 33 percent, Dr. Moulavi explains. The key is to enjoy leeks with calcium-rich eats like legumes, dark leafy greens, and dairy.
Fresh idea: Caramelize sliced leeks in olive oil or use 1 percent milk to make a chilled low-fat cream-of-leek soup.
Prevent Cavities
Here's something to smile about: Onions help keep your teeth healthy. "They contain sulfur, a powerful antibiotic, and quercetin, an anti-inflammatory agent," Dr. Moulavi says. "These compounds have been shown to kill various types of bacteria, like Streptococcus mutans, which can contribute to tooth decay."
Fresh idea: Raw onions are more potent than cooked ones, so use them in salads or stir them into guacamole, salsa, and other dips.
Strengthen Your Heart
The humble spud has gotten a bad rap, but it turns out that white potatoes can be part of a heart-healthy diet. "The high amount of vitamin B6 in potatoes helps hold down levels of the amino acid homocysteine, which is preventive against heart disease," Kleiner says. One medium baked potato contains more than 20 percent of your recommended daily dose of B6.
Fresh idea: Mix chunks of boiled white potato with canned tuna, steamed green beans, and a vinaigrette dressing for a quick nicoise salad.

Social Security boosted by immigration bill, chief actuary says
WASHINGTON -- The bipartisan Senate immigration proposal would provide a boost to the Social Security fund, its chief actuary said Wednesday, as more immigrants come out of the underground economy and begin paying taxes.
The assessment of the bill's impact on Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance is another entry in a growing body of economic data amassing on both sides of the immigration reform debate.
"Overall, we anticipate that the net effect of this bill on the long-range OASDI actuarial balance will be positive," Stephen C. Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration, wrote in a letter to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), an architect of the bipartisan legislation.
The chief actuary wrote that the number of workers paying taxes into the system would increase as the bill provides legal status for the estimated 11 million immigrants who entered the country illegally or overstayed their visas.
"Many of these individuals already work in the country in the underground economy, not paying taxes, and will begin paying taxes," the letter said.
The letter also said that over the long haul, the benefits for immigrants who become legal would "become more significant." At the same time, children of immigrants would "have substantial positive effects" on the fund.
Enhanced security proposed for the southwestern border "will reduce the number entering the country without authorization by about half a million per year by the time the measures are fully implemented," the letter said.
The chief actuary noted that the estimates were preliminary, and that the Social Security Administration was developing a longer, 75-year estimate, as is normally done for the fund.
The bill heads to committee on Thursday for the first of several days of amendment debate. A report this week from the conservative Heritage Foundation said that legalizing immigrants would be a $6.3-trillion drain on federal revenues because they would collect more in government services than they pay in taxes. Other conservatives disputed the report.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is expected to present a separate analysis in the weeks ahead.

Your drain is plugged
I found a link that says it should be under the evap coil in the back. I will pull that panel off and see if it is frozen over.
That ice on the evaporator is not from a clog drain in the picture you first posted.Are your door gasket OK?Is the dispenser flap closing?Are all the fan motors working,fan in freezer and fan by compressor working.And does it have that ice on the evaporator again like in the first post or is it just the drain.
Pour water on your evap coil with the cover off and see what it does

Weighing eight tons, the 62-foot, double-hulled canoe known as Hokule'a is only overshadowed by who and what she represents and the hopes and dreams filling her masts.
Although I've only seen Hokule'a once with my own eyes, I stared in awe of this great voyaging vessel's sheer size while feeling pride in the rich Hawaiian culture and kuleana (feeling of responsibility) she brings to her navigator and crew every time she sets sail.
I was on the beach in Waikiki when I heard a slow murmur crescendo into a wave of cheers. The locals knew Hokule'a was just stretching her masts, but the tourists gathered had no idea what they were lucky enough to witness.
As she glided across the water, she embodied the past and the future, the heart and soul of Hawaii. Through the efforts of countless dedicated people, she has resurrected thousands of years of "wayfinding" (non-instrument navigation) in Hawaii, linking together the common heritage of Polynesian seafaring cultures. Fittingly, her name translates to the Star of Gladness.
When I think of Hokule'a, I see one of my heroes, Eddie Aikau, sitting atop the mast, watching over the lives of those he saved while sacrificing his own. Eddie's life has turned to legend since he disappeared in 1978 while paddling for help after Hokule'a capsized in the channel between Molokai and Oahu during the voyage to Tahiti.
He is the only casualty in the Polynesian Voyaging Society's (PVS) three decades on the open ocean. He made a name for himself as a lifeguard on Waimea Bay and a big wave surfer in the '70s. A competition is named in his honor. To Hawaiians he simply embodies "aloha spirit."
The man at the helm of the current renaissance of Hawaiian culture and wayfinding is one of Eddie's best friends. Nainoa Thompson is a navigator for the PVS and Hokule'a. He was the first Hawaiian in more than 500 years to navigate a canoe retracing traditional Polynesian migratory routes when he and his crew successfully sailed more than 2,500 miles from Honolulu to Tahiti in 1980.
To make things clear, it should be spelled out that these voyages are made in the old way by using the stars, sun, moon, cloud formations, wave directions, wind movement and, with a little luck, some birds flying overhead. No maps. No compass. No radios.
Fortunately for Nainoa, Hokule'a also comes equipped with mana—spiritual power—and the blessings and guidance of her ancestors.
Since his first successful journey in 1980 as navigator (he was also on the initial voyage to Tahiti in 1976 as a member of the crew), Nainoa has led expeditions all over the South Pacific and throughout Polynesia. Each journey has been its own adventure, and each adventure has had its own cast of characters from Hector Busby, the lighthouse guy in Aotearoa, to Judson Brown, or "Gushklane" as he is known in his Native Alaskan Tlingit nation.
People all around the world have been responding to Nainoa's stewardship and perpetuation of Hawaiian culture.
The main character in his journey, however, has been Mau Pialug, a traditional master navigator from the Island of Satawal in Micronesia. It is Mau who is directly responsible for teaching Nainoa the traditional wayfinding methods used by both their ancestors.
It was a navigational art that had been slowly fading away from the face of our planet. Mau had learned the techniques from his grandfather, not as a means for discovery, but rather survival.
Living on the tiny island of Satawal meant sailing for food. Mau grew up living in harmony with the ocean and nature, but he had a passionate and dedicated disciple in Nainoa who fused traditional education with na'au, what Hawaiians refer to as instinct, and the two men have together raised the awareness of Polynesian wayfinding and resuscitated it back to a life.
The 2007 voyage of Hokule'a is set to honor their teacher and master navigator Mau Pialug with a journey to his island home in Satawal with a gift. Hokule'a will sail alongside the Alingano Maisu, a canoe for the people of Satawal from the people of Hawaii, which will surely be filled with mana and aloha.
The second leg of this journey will bring Hokule'a to Japan between Apr. 20 and June 20 with stops in Okinawa, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Ehime and finally Yokohama.
Nainoa and his crew have as much enthusiasm for education and cross-cultural exchanges as they do for sailing, ensuring Hawaii, Polynesia and the Pacific Rim will not have to wait 500 years for another journey of hope.
Glenn Killian is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, but for the past 12 years has made Fukuoka his second home. Spending time away from home helped him reconnect with what it meant to be from the islands.
He now runs Alohana, a Hawaiian restaurant in Fukuoka, and has plans to open a second in Yokohama later this year.

Staff at stricken satellite broadband outfit Aramiska knew nothing of the firm's shock decision to pull the plug on its service last Friday.
A week after Aramiska dumped its customers, a number of former workers have told El Reg they were unaware of the firm's decision to axe the service - giving customers just a few hours notice.
One former worker explained how last Friday was just another ordinary day at the office - until a meeting was called mid-morning. It was then management broke the news to staff that Aramiska was ceasing to provide its broadband satellite service. Others were told to pack up and go home.
Staff at Aramiska's office in Belgium were "stunned", one insider told us, while another said it was "completely unexpected".
"We were unaware that Aramiska was shutting down of the services until Friday, the day it shut down the services," said one source.
Staff were told they would be given more information this week, but so far they've heard nothing. While it's still not known how many end users have been left without broadband following Aramiska's crash, it's becoming clear that a number of sectors relied on the service. Outlying government departments, embassies, military stations, as well as oil rigs are all understood to have subscribed to Aramiska's service either as a principal broadband connection or as back-up.
In the UK, the Community Broadband Network (CBN) has been helping those hit by the company's demise and has been flooded with enquiries about what to do next.
A CBN spokeswoman told us: "We have been incredibly busy dealing with calls and emails from across Europe as communities and rural businesses try to find alternatives. The CBN website is full of information for those people.
"The worst part is that in this day and age so many are reliant on satellite for broadband comms, while other countries have fibre, and it is of vital importance that the government address the impact that rural disconnectivity is having on businesses and communities in the UK." ®

I never really make it simple, do I? I started yesterday with a car ride to the Caltrain to the hotel shuttle. Today, I took the hotel shuttle to SFO, VirginAmerica to JFK, AirTrain to Jamaica Station, the E line subway to Lexington, the 6 line subway to Grand Central Station. Wish I'd had time to take photos, but I only had five minutes to buy a ticket and hop on the Metro North train to Bridgeport and then switch to the Waturbury train. There, I'll hopefully be driven to tonight's accomodations, or food. Food would be good right now.
Just to make it more complicated, I'm not taking the same way home.

Many of your ideas may come absolutely from watching your beloved movies, or you may read about the hottest trends for the holidays in your desired magazines, and come up with a absolutely creative idea for a great costume character.
Bunny Halloween Costume
However, if you happen to be at a loss for a unique costume idea this year, times a ticking! Don't worry, we can offer you a list of the newest Halloween costumes available, and add a petite twist that will make a hilarious splash for your outfit this season.
Halloween fun starts when you create that unique costume, that everybody wonders how you came up with that concept! Many adults and kids love to be the town of attention with the most creative characters that no one else will have, and that's a tough task in itself when there are dozens of sell market selling the exact same Halloween costume.
The best costume tips we can offer to ensure that you don't have half a dozen population with the same Halloween outfit, is to try and mix and match the costume, in order to create an outrageous combination, which will have your friends and family howling their heads off!
Think Out Of The Costume Box To Get Those Creative, And Fun Juices Flowing! If you're having a petite problem arrival up with something that will wow your party guests, remember you must think exterior the box! If you need a petite push in the right direction, let us offer you a few of our suggestions to get you started, and see if you can progress on our outrageous Halloween tips.
Become a Vampire Baby : Just think about it for a second? Dracula had to be born and brought into this world just like us, so did you think he came into this world with his fancy ensemble? Of course not, so how about taking a large blanket for a diaper, a full-size skin tone color or light grey body tights, cape, white face paint, blood, and a pair of fangs. Add a baby bottle filled with deep red cranberry juice and Voila!
Now with your baby vampire outfit ready to take on the dark underworld of infants, we are sure you can dream the laughs you will get, and I bet you wouldn't have concept that Dracula would be getting his/her gruesome cheeks pinched so much during the night. After your party, it's going to be rather painful crawling back into your coffin.
Here's someone else wacky one! Cross-Dressing Darth Vader : Find a absolutely awful dress, preferably off-white or pink, and get your hands on a Darth Vader mask. Now we're sure with the popularity of Star Wars that you will come over many Vader costumes, but while they may be switching over to the dark side that night, you will be flipping-over to the Darth Vader Cross-dressing side.
Come on, can't you picture this great idea! Going up to guests at your party and saying, "Luke, I'm absolutely your mother!" Ok let's move on, maybe you'll like our next idea!
For the adult only event, and we mean a total non-Halloween family function (no kids allowed), the guys can consider going as an Egotistical Scotsman ! Order a Highlander costume complete with the plaid skirt and all the accessories. Now we're sure you're absolutely wondering what is the major distinction from someone else Scottish costume.
Here's the twist, you go out and purchase a skin tone color stocking and fill it with foam, tie off the tip to give it the, well, you know what look we're talking about! Then wrap it nearby your waist, letting it hang just long enough for it to be showing slightly below your skirt. Who's the king of Scotland now! For the men that still don't get what I'm trying to clarify here, talk to your better halves or your mother, they can help you!
Of course we are not going to leave the women's costume ideas out, but it was a petite more difficult arrival up with a twisted concept for the ladies. So here we go!
Female Hugh Hefner : It's time to turn the tables, and we know it's not difficult for a gorgeous lady like yourself to get your hands on a few of your male friends to dress-up as sexy Playboy bunnies! The rest is history, all you have to do is go online and find an authentic Hugh Hefner smoking jacket, silk seeing pants, and fake cigar.
Make sure you're strutting nearby with your Playmates waving your cigar and acting very arrogant, and pinching the occasional bunny cheek during the night. (Pinching at your own risk, and we take no accountability for this action, oh what the heck, give him two pinches on the cheeks for good luck!)
In order to make sure your costume theme idea is realistic, you must ensure your male partners are hanging nearby you often, giving you all the attention you deserve as the sexiest Playboy icon. Have the guys wear thick red lipstick while placing kiss marks all over your cheeks. We have a feeling after the Halloween party is over, you may not want to give up all that attention! We may be creating some monsters here.
Kids Ideas Are Very Creative When It Comes To Wacky Costume Fun! Children are the best source when it comes to reasoning of crazy ideas, and they can absolutely turn up with some mad creations! If you don't have any kids to help you, then experience the closest friend that has a bizarre imagination. If you can do it on your own, then we advise you jump on your witches broom, and fly with your off the wall idea.
It's crunch time, and you want to make your ideas fun and unique. If you happen to like our wild ideas, and they find your funny bone, then go with them. Or if you would like to create your own concept, go for it.
The bottom line here is that we want you to perform a great costume idea, by taking easy concepts and letting your ideas work to create that petite twist, that will make your outfit that much better. Your Costume will be so funny that you will have all your guests laughing in stitches. Hmmm., stitches, I think we have someone else great idea for a costume!Costume Ideas Like You Never Imagined For Halloween!

I have grown up in the Southern Baptist Convention, a denomination of Christianity that has more conservative and traditional views of leadership. I was always told that as a disciple of Jesus Christ, it was my responsibility to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. However, I saw no women leading in my church to provide this example. The SBC states in The Baptist Faith and Message, "While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture." The SBC is very specific that women are not allowed to pastor, based on verses that say women are not allowed to have authority over men. However, it says nothing about youth pastor.
When many within my church convicted me and convinced me that youth ministry was my vocational calling, I was confused. I thought that women couldn't do it because I hadn't seen it, yet those with the same theology were affirming it. So I sought it out for myself. Here's what I came up with.

Documentation supporting the information in your family file is most important. After the Web Search and Web Merge was complete a review of what was added to the family file is next.
In this example, the web search included that the Birth Location was Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It had no Source-Citation in the file, as it was only the family story that said Hiram was from Hunterdon County. See Figure 18 of this post:
Since that location was not documented, Right Clicking on the unwanted FACT and selecting Delete Fact, or clicking on the Red "X" just above and a little to the right of the word Preferred deleted that unwanted Fact.
Figure 25
We will look at the new Birth Fact (hi-lited across the upper left portion of Figure 25. #1 on the Right is a summary of the Source-Citation for that Birth Fact. Double clicking on that Fact (in grey in #1) will bring up the Source-Citation screen.
In Figure 23 of article, Web Search Final, the full Source-Citation was in the bottom portion of that figure. The pop-up window (#2) here, it hnow that is presented in the Source-Citation screen for this Fact.
Two points of interest on this pop-up window, is 1) This citation is linked to 4 facts, and 2) the text that is hi-lited, which says "Record for Hiram Deats". This is mentioned because when another Individual has a FACT linked to this Source-Citation, you will see who was being searched when this Source was found. Works very nicely when an entire household is included in the Web Merge.
More on this in a later posting.

Yes, we all know that time flies by as we get older, but it really does seem like yesterday that we brought our little son home from the hospital. He is now 6 years old. He is a joy in our life yes at times he is pushing my buttons and doesn't want to listen and with this SPD life gets hard but I wouldn't trade him in for anything.
I love who he is and who he is becoming. It is the sweetest thing to listen to him remind us at family prayers to pray for a family in our ward who has a sick daughter and this friends dad who is looking for a job, and Jackson who is a friend to get better. Now he doesn't just pray that they will get better but for what each person needs.
I love the faith he has and the wiliness he has to listen to the spirit.
It was his day today and I allowed him to do whatever he wanted. So we watched some TV put together his little box of Lego's (I left the big Lego box for Aaron to put together with Kodi). The only thing I won't let him not do is he had to go to OT today and he loved it, he did a great job and I can already see the difference it makes. He is calmer and more together when we are done. It just reminds me that we need to do more sensory diet during the day. He really does need it.
We than picked up Aaron who had a flat tire on the way home from work let him change and off to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. All three boys loved it and the place was pretty empty.
It was a good night and a great birthday for him.
His party is on Saturday and it's going to be great, fun he wants a Angry Birds party so that is going to be a great time.
Happy Birthday my son I love you and I am so happy you decided to join our family

Age discrimination?
This morning Imus was very positive about Sue. I like her. There was some question as to how much money she makes. But that was dismissed as not the real reason. "They want some blonde young girl."
Us old job seekers know the ugly truth: Age DOES make a difference.
Too bad! We, as a society, better figure the old age problem. "We" have to align the Social Security Retirement Age and Life Expectancy Tables. To do that, folks will have to work later into life. If employers discriminate, this will be impossible.
So Sue Simmons is the poster girl for future age discrimination.

Mass Transits
Categories: Earth
May 28, 2012
On June 5, our sister planet Venus will slowly slide across the face of the sun. This will be the last transit of Venus until 2117, so there's no subsequent chance to observe this celestial spectacular for anyone alive today.
Join us for a special episode devoted to this rare event. Two centuries ago, nations were locked in a race to be the first to measure the Venus transit. From the first observation by the "father" of British astronomy to Captain Cook's Tahitian expedition in the 18th century, meet the pioneers who were trying to nail down the scale of the cosmos
Plus, tips for observing the 2012 transit … how the Kepler spacecraft uses transits to detect Earth-like worlds … and could there be life floating in Venusian clouds?

If you are at the book store, look for No need for Speed, a Beginer's Guide to the Joy or Running. Now look at page 176. Under the heading "Lesson Learned" at the bottom of the page, there is a quote by a 44 year old runner named Jonathan R. Zuckerman, a runner of modest ability.

NEW YORK -- The ACLU is lobbying for the gay couple on "Modern Family" to get married.
ACLU Action started a campaign to urge the show's producers to write a wedding episode for Mitchell and Cameron, fathers of an adopted child and one of three couples at the heart of the show.
The ACLU says it is appealing to the fictional family to draw more attention to the real issue as it awaits Supreme Court decisions on two important marriage equality cases.
"Mitch and Cam are a couple that America has come to know and love, and seeing them get married, and seeing the characters in the story grapple with their desire to get married, makes it real for a bigger part of America," said James Esseks, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Project at the ACLU.
Supporters are invited to "RSVP" to the wedding online. The ACLU plans to deliver the online "guest list" to the show's producers but said it had not yet contacted the show.
Esseks said the petition was a departure for the group, but that along with filing lawsuits, lobbying for bills or organizing ballot initiatives, the group saw public education and changing the culture as part of its mission. He applauded what "Modern Family" has done already for public perception of gay couples.
"It's a popular show, they're a lovable, very real couple, and it would be great to see them walk down the aisle," he said.
ABC referred questions to 20th Century Fox Studios, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Show creator Steven Levitan tweeted a link to the campaign with a simple "Wow." Jessie Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell, tweeted: "Love this! Thank you ACLU! Maybe once Prop 8 is overturned!"

DailyDirt: Don't Just Give People Numbers... Draw Charts?
from the urls-we-dig-up deptA number is often meaningless without a unit attached to it, but sometimes a unit is useless if it's an unfamiliar one. Given all the reporting on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, a few helpful folks have created some charts to better explain what the radiation dosages mean. These graphs aren't perfect, but they attempt to put some uncommon figures into context. If you don't know what a sievert is, check out these charts.
- XKCD has a chart that illustrates radiation dosages to help folks understand what the sievert unit means. No stick figures were harmed in the production of this chart. (Also, feel free to copy and distribute it because it's public domain material.) [url]
- A slightly more colorful chart of what a sievert unit means is available for purchase -- with all the money going to help with the disaster relief effort. The logarithmic scale on this one is kind of easy to miss on this chart, though... [url]
- Here's a chart that's a bit more complicated to read, but it also incorporates exposure time. Unfortunately, Roy G Biv is apparently not helpful for determining the order of severity. [url]
- The New York Times published a nice table explaining how far the effects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster have spread. For the radiation detected near British Columbia, "a person would have to drink 3 million glasses of water at one time to reach a problematic dose in the thyroid." [url]
- To find more stuff on research & research tools, check out what's currently floating around the StumbleUpon universe. [url]

Narberth Castle is a sad sight today, neglected and overgrown its ruined towers and walls forlorn and crumbling: an ancient building under threat of extinction.
Experts say it is undoubtedly of Norman origin, which tallies with its first historical mention in 1116.
Its history is unexciting. Glyndwr left it alone and it was not until the Civil War that it was slighted by Cromwell on the grounds that any fortress was a threat to the Commonwealth. Cromwell actually encouraged the locals to remove the stone from the castle to use for their own building purposes and there can be no doubt that this was done, for stone was a valuable commodity and there are many old stone buildings in Narberth which could well have come from the castle.
The ancient building, which is seen to best advantage either from the other side of the valley on the road to Templeton, or from the opposite side, looking down the street towards the De Rutzen Arms. The ruined towers are still tall enough to be see above the roofs of the houses and it would be a great shame if they were allowed to fall down. The Narberth skyline would be changed for ever.
The sad fact is that in the current recession potential custodians of such buildings, such as CADW or the National Trust do not have the money for additional projects and lottery funding has not yet recovered sufficiently from the heavy cost of the Olympic Games to be able to support major projects which do not possess significant national or regional importance.
There was some hope of a future for the ancient buiding and grounds in the 20th century. In the early 1900s the town's annual fair held a procession, which ended in the castle grounds, with music and dancing, and this was replicated in 2005 when it was opened to the public after the council had made it safe. The ceremony was combined with the signing by the Mayors of Narberth and Ludlow of documents sealing the towns' twinning arrangements. A dramatisation of one of the Mabinogion stories, Culhwch ag Olwen, was also played there at the time.
About 30 years ago the castle was given some care and attention when an elderly gentleman called Perrot, who claimed descent from the reputed builder of the castle, Andrew Perrot, a forebear of the famous Sir John Perrot, one-time occupant of the castles at Carew and Laugharne, took residence in the grounds in his camper van and started some painstaking amateur repairs.
He was not there long, for the work was arduous and futile. It appeared he was able only to point gaps in the masonry, seemingly with ordinary cement and not the lime mortar the work required, and inevitably made little impression on the ruins which were so far decayed.
The castle is strongly linked to The Mabinogion, in which it states that Castell Arberth was the home of Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, who features in the book's fables of enchantment and magic.

There is something so Delicious about a Panini Sandwich! I'm sharing one of my favorite recipes that I think you will love too. I enjoy mine open face for more flavor but you could serve it closed as well.
You will find Balsamic glazes in many of the high end cooking stores that will run up to $20.00 I have found the $3 bottle at Trader Joe's is just as comparable Although I enjoy making my own pesto, the store bought jar at Trader Joe's is quite good as well.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the oil over the eggplant, onion and peppers and cook until tender (about 10 minutes)
Slice the baguette in half and toast for about a minute. Spread the baquette with the pesto, add the cooked vegetables on top followed by tomato slices, mozzarella, and Basil.
Cook in a 350 degree oven until cheese is melted. Drizzle The balsamic glaze on top and enjoy!
I also wanted to say thank you for all the heartfelt comments on Bailey and the Kitchen, I enjoyed reading each and every beautiful note from you.
If you get a chance stop by Savvy Southern Style to see what my favorite room in the house is and It's Overflowing for our home tour.
