What are those little pumpkins for, anyway?
Long before commercial canners discovered the convenience of canned pumpkin, Thanksgiving pie bakers labored over hot, little pumpkins to create their own filling.
They knew not all pumpkins are pie pumpkins. The bigger ones are bred for decorations and would be bland and grainy in a pie.
Pie pumpkins are the little guys, most commonly the Sugar Pumpkin or Sweet Pumpkin or in the Midwest the Cheese Pumpkin (a favorite pie topper was a slice of cheddar cheese). These are not immature pumpkins. Their flesh produces the creamy, sweet filling so coveted in a perfect pie.
It's a lot easier to open a can than to prepare a pie pumpkin. Scratch pies remain a lost art, as is the last generation to enjoy them, probably in the 1930s. Most of us have no idea how using fresh improves the dessert.
Pumpkin flesh from cans seems OK when we have nothing to compare. But this is last year's pumpkin, already cooked. It tastes like, well, it's out of a can.
Fresh pie pumpkin is as you might expect it — light, airy, screaming for another piece. All this, without help from whipped cream or a brown sugar and pecan topping.
If there's no little ones available, you can go to Plan B. That's butternut squash. It substitutes well in any pumpkin recipe. Plan C is carrots. Both are nearly unmistakable if you use the same pumpkin-pie spices (kind of like hot dogs which can be made of any meat if you dump on the right flavorings).
We must be patient for pie pumpkins. They take longer to mature than the big ones. They often are not available until November and are gone by late December.
This year, shoppers will find a wide array of prices. I saw them at 69 cents at a small grocery and $4 at a megastore. Don't mistake them for the even smaller mini pumpkins used for decorations, which are actually gourds. Pie pumpkins look like full-size jack 'o lanterns only smaller.
For a standard, deep-dish, 9-inch pie, use a 6-inch diameter pie pumpkin. You may have enough for a second pie (a 4-inch) or use the leftover mash for cookies or pudding.
Since we're going scratch on this one, leave the "pumpkin pie spice" on the shelf and craft your own (see recipe). You'll be surprised at the improvement.
1 6-inch fresh pie pumpkin
1 9-inch single crust
2 eggs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 can, 12-ounce evaporated milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pull off pumpkin stem. Cut pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds (save for the birds) and membrane. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with lightly oiled aluminum foil. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender. Cool until just warm.
Scrape the pumpkin from the peel. Mash or puree in a blender or food processor.
Whisk eggs and add to pumpkin. Add remaining ingredients singly, mixing after each. Pour mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Place a strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning.
Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees, then reduce to 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes. A toothpick in the center should come out clean. Remove the foil 20 minutes before the pie is done to brown the edge. Cool pie and refrigerate overnight for flavors to meld.
Note: In the olden days, it was common to add a tablespoon of rum to the filling and serve with a slice of mild cheddar cheese on top.
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Mix ingredients, store in an airtight container.

New American
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the purported founders of communism, established in the 19th century a government paradigm that transformed Europe and other regions in the eastern hemisphere, adding to an already expansive repertoire of political ideologies. And the seemingly farfetched assertion that communism could someday take control of America seems, quite simply, unfathomable. But is it really that improbable, or furthermore, has it already ensnared certain sectors of society?
Writing for The Blaze, Tiffany Gabbay recently produced a thoughtful exposé entitled "Are We Headed Toward the Constitution or the Communist Manifesto?" that breaks down the 10 tenets of Marx and Engels' infamous 1848 publication and describes how those 10 steps or "planks" to establish communism are slowly being woven into American society. In prefacing her piece, which was published on Saturday, Gabbay quotes the British philosopher Anthony Flew, who exploited Marx's blatant disregard for the truth:
… the first and only volume of Das Kapital to be published in the lifetime of Marx was, in his own words, to demonstrate that "In proportion as capital accumulates, the lot of the labourer must grow worse. Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation at the opposite pole." But by 1867, when that volume was first published, Marx had known for 15 or more years that this thesis was false.
In describing how the Communist Manifesto''s key tenets stack up against the U.S. Constitution, and society as a whole, Gabbay's argument should provoke alarm, as the republic founded centuries ago, which was built on the concept of freedom and justice, has been tainted with characteristics of an illegal and despotic political structure.
The first ideal under the microscope is the abolition of private property, and while the complete confiscation of private assets is not fully developed here in the United States, such freedom is enjoyed not in its entirety. Eminent domain, for example, has arguably violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which prevents the government from confiscating private property "for public use, without just compensation."
Now, what the government determines to be "fair and just" is often arbitrary, and regardless of the dollar amount agreed upon, the citizen's property is still confiscated with or without the owner's blessing. Moreover, politicians stretch what is acceptable under the Constitution's "public good" charge, as they often acquire land or property through eminent domain to launch public works projects designed to "improve communities," by building such things as freeways, schools, libraries, and public utilities. And following the Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London, the use of eminent domain greatly expanded in scope to include reforming "depressed areas" — meaning, a private citizen's home could be seized by government bureaucrats to construct shopping malls and sports complexes on their land.
Another tenet included in the Communist Manifesto advocates a highly progressive income tax. This ideal is an archetype of class warfare, as Marx and Engels believed the upper echelon of society must have their wealth redistributed to establish so-called "social equality." This progressive tax structure is evident in President Obama's "Buffett Rule" tax plan, which would set a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on the nation's highest earners. And the consequences of not adhering to the U.S. government's progressive tax code are draconian, including imprisonment, the freezing of bank accounts, and the confiscation of personal property.
The third tenet under the Communist Manifesto deals with abolishing the rights of inheritance, such as the estate tax, more commonly known as the "death tax." The abolition of inheritance was evident in Marx's ideology, as he strove to eliminate all physical property upon a person's death, which in a subtler form, has woven itself into the U.S. political system. Ms. Gabbay explains how the estate tax is not only unconstitutional, but it delivers the IRS another arbitrary stream of income for it to disperse at its own discretion:
First, many argue the estate tax is unconstitutional because it creates a direct tax that is not disbursed to the states for collection. But the more obvious discrepancy is that it allows the government to tax individuals twice, as the items that find their way into one's estate — be they a car, house, land, jewelry or other valuable possessions — have already been subject to either sales or property tax once before. The Federal government's carte blanche to double-dip is spurred further by Democrats' renewed push to resurrect and expand what the Wall Street Journal dubs President Obama's "night of living death tax."
Another unconstitutional, and communistic-inspired entity, is the Federal Reserve, America's national bank which exerts unprecedented power to set monetary policy with the intent of "stabilizing" the economy. All in all, the impact central bankers have had on the U.S. economy has been devastating, by, for instance, devaluing the dollar and spiking inflation rates by printing more and more money.
"One of the fundamental problems with the U.S. economy right now is the Federal Reserve thinks the answer to all our economic problems is printing money," asserted Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal. "We haven't created new jobs from all of this printing of money, but what we have produced is inflation in prices." (The actual definition of inflation is an increase in the amount of currency in circulation, which in turn causes an increase in prices.)
One of the more widely perceived tenets of the Communist Manifesto is its stance on the "equality of labor," which often take the form of labor unions and their intimate relations with government. While unions themselves are not nationalized organizations, many develop a strong bond with government leaders, resulting in favoritism in the area of labor policy.
Another example of labor control comes from the Labor Department's policies in the area of Affirmative Action, which forces private businesses to adhere to a staff-quota consisting of minorities, women, and people with disabilities. This mandate imposes a blatant confiscation of individual rights, as it ties the hands of business owners who desire to hire employees based on merit, not on the color of their skin or other characteristics.
Nationalized education, which is glaringly evident in the United States, is also a tenet of the Marx-Engels communist ideology. In America's K-12 education system, despotic bureaucrats have largely seized the parents' rights to choose their school districts, they have imposed certain religious teachings on children, and have decided what can and cannot be consumed during lunch break.
Among the remaining tenets propagated in the Communist Manifesto — government ownership of factories, combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, centralized control of transportation and communication, and the confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels — Gabbay points to nationalized healthcare, the unspoken 11th plank of the Marx-Engels brand of communism.
If President Obama's landmark healthcare overhaul makes it past the Supreme Court, a blatantly unconstitutional precedent will be set that grants the U.S. government a supreme and tyrannical authority over citizens' health and well-being. Gabbay sums up her article by countering the inevitable charge, that all those who claim America is embracing communism are fanatical:
Some balk at the use of the word "Communism," dismissing its invocation as hyperbole. Yet when dissecting actual policies, laws, regulations and bureaucratic government approaches which Americans are increasingly subjected to, and weighing them against the 10 progressive "rules to live by," the facts scream loudly and clearly in the face of those who deny the ever-creeping onset of Socialism. Marx's Communist "utopia" is only one evolutionary stage away from reality.

died last month, and in death, her accomplishments sounded just as historic as they were when they happened--but with the benefit of history. Her acceptance speech for the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 1984 may seem late in coming. But while many women had run for president before her, she was the first woman nominated by a major party for the vice-presidential role, as Walter Mondale's running mate. Not until Sarah Palin's nomination two dozen years later was that repeated.
In many ways, the nation wasn't ready for her, and yet her persistence helped set precedents and markers for thousands of other women. Today, we are still marveling when a female member of Congress talks about her own abortion on the floor of the House of Representatives. Ferraro paved that road, while tackling a grueling speaking schedule. From her obituary:
For the first time, a major candidate for national office talked about abortion with the phrase "If I were pregnant," or about foreign policy with the personal observation "As the mother of a draft-age son...." She wore pearls and silk dresses and publicly worried that her slip was showing. She also traveled a 55,000-mile campaign trail, spoke in 85 cities and raised $6 million.From coverage of her funeral:
Mr. Mondale said that the path Ms. Ferraro took was not an easy one. During a vice-presidential debate, "George Bush offered to explain to her foreign policy," Mr. Mondale recalled. "Every day, she was patronized in a way not experienced by male candidates. If they ever make another movie about true grit, it should be about Gerry"....There were two women in the Senate when Ms. Ferraro became the vice-presidential candidate, Mr. Mondale said; there are 17 now, along with 77 in the House, 6 governors and 1,700 state legislators. Ms. Ferraro's candidacy "took down the men-only sign at the White House," said Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat. "Gerry was a force of nature, a powerhouse. She did change the way we women thought about ourselves in American politics."Bush also addressed her as "Mrs. Ferraro" throughout their debate, despite her standing as a former member of Congress, which should have called for addressing her as "Congresswoman" or "Representative." Reporters questioned whether, as a woman, she could "push the button" to start a nuclear attack.
But all that came after her acceptance speech, which is why--in retrospect and in the history books--it looms large. That night was all about hope, possibilities and connecting with her party's base. Ferraro did that by talking about herself as part of her family:
Tonight, the daughter of a woman whose highest goal was a future for her children talks to our nation's oldest party about a future for us all. Tonight, the daughter of working Americans tells all Americans that the future is within our reach, if we're willing to reach for it. Tonight, the daughter of an immigrant from Italy has been chosen to run for President in the new land my father came to love. Our faith that we can shape a better future is what the American dream is all about.Looking back, many would say she played it safe in this speech--and there were scores of critiques about this speech and her debate, saying she was too masculine in her style and too traditional. It's tough being first. Today's listener should keep in mind that when the occasion is historic, the speech doesn't need to overreach. It just needs to fulfill the goal, and let the occasion do the talking.
Later in her career, Ferraro shared her battle with the teleprompter (a new technology in her day) and how it affected this acceptance speech. (You'll note in this partial video of her speech that she refers to written notes more comfortably.) And more recently, she caused a foment during the 2008 campaign by criticizing Barack Obama and suggesting that Hillary Clinton had been treated unfairly in the campaign, not a "safe" stance at all. None of that takes away from what made this speech famous: The first time a woman could say these words for real. Here's the video:

As someone who previously campaigned on the same platform as Jack Hickey, I whole heartedly agree with this recommendation to dissolve the Sequoia Hospital (now renamed to Healthcare) District, which was formed specifically to bring a hospital to South San Mateo County. That purpose was served and the hospital is now in private hands. Stop spending public money on private philanthropy (not that some or all of the causes supported are worthwhile, because they are) and let people decide what philanthropic causes to support themselves rather than having a hospital district do so for them with public tax dollars. Listen to the grand jury recommendations which are to dissolve the Sequoia Healthcare District. Vote for Jack Hickey, and only him, to send that message to the District.

The Sequoia Health Care District funds a number of community health care related programs and grants that directly benefit District residents. With approximately 8.6 million dollars this last fiscal year, the District will return 10.6 million dollars in community health services. The District's Heart Safe program has provided life-saving defibrillators and cardiac compression devices to schools, public areas and first-responders. During the economic downturn we provided funding to food banks and "soup lines" when private funding could not make up for the increasing gaps. We also fund Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly or disabled who are unable to prepare a warm, nutritious meal or obtain food on their own. This service currently provides meals from the poorest to some of the wealthiest District Residents.
Our Chronic Disease Management program provides education and training for a number of illnesses; keeping residents healthier and sparing more health dollars by preventing complications of their illnesses. The District's Healthy Schools Program has provided more school nurses, health education, counseling and physical education to all school districts within the health care district. Providing this service to our children is another cost-saving preventative program.
The Health Care District works in conjunction with Sequoia Hospital and Sequoia Hospital Foundation to monitor the needs of District Residents with a considerable stake in the new Breast Health Center and plans for a Case Management Program designed to keep District Residents out of the Hospital. The Health Care District continues to fund the County clinic as well as surrounding community clinics that serve District residents. This provides access to care and prevents costly use of local emergency rooms that would otherwise be used for primary care.
Currently approximately 51% of county revenue goes to Jails and Courts. There is no guarantee where the current tax dollars collected for the Health Care District will go. The only thing certain is that money will continue to be collected. As a registered nurse; I do not view health care, nutrition, or lifesaving medical equipment as "philanthropy". I know it is a necessity, cost effective, and generally expected to be available when ultimately all of us require it. Voters now have more control over utilization of tax dollars that go directly to health care programs within their own District. The board (with the exception of Mr. Hickey) and the District Director constantly assess and evaluate our programs making necessary changes according to community needs and the many changes taking place in health care. The Health Care District once owned the Hospital, continues to support it and provides services that every one of us will eventually need. The Grand Jury has never opined that the District should not exist. This is a rumor Mr. Hickey and his disgruntled cohorts continue to spread, but I am happy to remind them of the following 2004 Grand Jury Report:
"The Grand Jury determined that the SHD continues to represent and serve the healthcare interests of the District and divestiture of direct responsibility for owning and operating the Sequoia Hospital has not diminished the value provided. In fact, separation has allowed for the redirection of resources to additional and complementary services that support both residents of the SHD and the County."
It saddens me that anyone likely to require health services would so quickly deny those now receiving them. Mr. Hickey chose to run for an additional seat on the Board despite the fact his current position does not term until 2014; forcing the District to spend $160,000 on what otherwise would have been an uncontested election. That is a tragedy when one considers District programs that would have greatly benefited by what I consider a lot of money. No Board member should have the right to enforce the tax payer to foot the bill for an election he cannot lose or advance their own political agenda.

I joined Jack Hickey's slate in 2010 for the sole purpose of honoring the 2000-01 Grand Jury recommendation. If elected we were going to stop the collection of taxes from the property owners period.
Here is the 2000-01 Grand Jury Report. See for yourself if Kim Griffin is being honest.

Kim, welcome to the Town Square Forum! You should drop in more often. As a nurse, your thoughts would be welcome on the $10,000,000 Sequoia Healthcare District Nursing Education Program topic.
Web Link You might even stimulate public participation in our upcoming meeting on the subject.
You and the other majority members on the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors have refused to seek voter approval of the philosophical role which was assumed following the sale of Sequoia Hospital. The District continues to collect property taxes originally assessed to build, operate and maintain Sequoia Hospital.
I called this election to create a poll of voters whereby they may support or oppose the dissolution of the District. This will be $160,000 of taxes well spent, particularly when compared to the $4,000,000 spent on nurses who are not serving residents of the District. And, there's the $182,000/year CEO managing a staff of 4, 2 of whom are employed halftime (with fulltime benefits!). See: Web Link
If you support dissolution of the Sequoia Healthcare District, vote ONLY for John J. "Jack" Hickey.

Kim, you should also weigh in on the topic regarding the Sequoia Healthcare District "Report to the Community" which hit mailboxes yesterday. Web Link
This 4 page, 11"x 17", full color, tri-fold brochure was sent out despite my concerns expressed to our $182,000/year CEO. On October 17, 2012 I suggested that the brochure was intended to influence the outcome of the election, and asked that the mailing be delayed. Kim, you were copied on the CEO's response and as Board President, could have directed him to delay the mailing. The CEO's response:
"The sending of the annual report to the Board in advance is a courtesy not for your approval. Neither the Board president or the majority of the board has asked for approval so as I understand the situation this is a staff responsibility. There will not be a delay."
See "Report to Community or Electioneering Communication at Web Link
I can only hope that voters see the report for what it is.

To feed the city's data hungry smart-phone users, the case was presented to the City Council Tuesday for installing a network of relatively small cell antennas atop Mountain View's utility poles.
AT&T and ExteNet Systems pushed for the "Distributed Antenna System" in the city's residential neighborhoods Tuesday at a City Council study session. The companies propose numerous low power 10-watt antennas, which stick up a few feet from the top of utility poles. They would be spread throughout neighborhoods, rather than on the large monopoles that might be rejected by the city and neighbors for aesthetic reasons.
AT&T's Randy Okimura said that among the area's tech savvy residents with smart phones, the "demand for data is insatiable." Data use among AT&T customers has increased "8,000 percent" since 2007, he said. "We are just trying to meet the needs of our customers."
Bill Stevens of ExteNet Systems, a utility company that leases antennas to service providers, said what he hears from cities is "make it small, make it less obtrusive. DAS allows for that."
Council members had mixed reactions.
Ronit Bryant described the idea as taking already ugly utility poles and "loading them with equipment. I would definitely prefer one big pole. Saying this is the least ugly thing we can do is an awfully sad way to move forward. This is not trying for the best solution; it is just going for the easiest and quickest way."
"I think we should ask the neighborhoods what they want," Bryant said. "There may be more people who think like me."
City staff members say they have seen a dramatic increase in the number of applications for cell towers in recent years, with 65 received since 2009. There are now cell towers on 64 sites in the city. However, there are areas not covered: all of Shoreline Park and much of the Monta Loma and Rengstorff residential neighborhoods, city staff reported in the study session Tuesday.
Staff reported that there would be a "significant" public benefit in allowing DAS. But it would require a change to the city's zoning ordinance to allow additional utility pole height, which the council could approve as early as September. DAS applications would still be subject to a design review permit and public hearing process.
A representative from Verizon had a different view on DAS, saying that the technology was less able to penetrate buildings than more powerful cell towers and monopoles. He added that utility poles could quickly become ugly with all of the boxes of equipment that may be necessary. While AT&T houses much of that equipment in central offices, Verizon does not, he said.
"If a neighborhood really needs it, then neighborhoods can choose," said council member Laura Macias.
Mayor Jac Siegel agreed. "We have 14 different neighborhoods. Ask them, see what they want."
Siegel urged the city to be flexible because the technology was rapidly changing, and cell companies were already considering newer technologies as it implements the latest. He also suggested the city allow cell antennas atop the police station's large monopole, "unless there's a security reason" not to do it.
Member Tom Means said he saw no problems with allowing cell antennas in Shoreline Park. Others weren't as supportive. "I don't really think there's a need right now to put poles in the park," said member Margaret Abe-Koga. "Can we put poles on the top of the (Shoreline Amphitheatre) tent? Make it look like a circus top." City staff said they had been curious about that as well.
Options for Shoreline Park, which may not have consistent coverage for calling 911, include cell antennas on PG&E lattice towers, which would require ground level equipment cabinets and access for service trucks.
"At this point, staff's position is to be very protective of parkland," said Zoning Administrator Peter Gilli. "If a proposal came in for Shoreline Park, we would say no."
Council member Mike Kasperzak suggested the city allow a cell antenna on top of the Rengstorff House at Shoreline Park. "I'm not really kidding about that," he said, adding that it could help fund Rengstorff House-related activities.
Macias and member John Inks also said they supported using city property for cell antennas to raise funds for city services. Three already exist on city property, including one at the Rengstorff Avenue fire station and two on Shoreline Amphitheatre parking lot light poles. The city receives $2,500 a month for each one.

Two third-graders at a Warren school were hospitalized after they ate what they thought was candy but turned out to be niacin, a Van Dyke Public Schools administrator and the mother of one of the kids said Wednesday.
Nikole Buss said her 8-year-old daughter, Kaitlin, phoned her Tuesday morning from Lincoln Elementary School.
'She called and said her whole body was red. She was feeling like she had been running. She was hot to the touch and had chills. And itchy,' said the Warren mom when reached for comment. 'I went up to the school and that's when I found out that a kid had brought in some pills.'
Buss said a paramedic told her during the ride to a local hospital that the young girl's symptoms pointed to an overdose of niacin.
'She looked scared,' said Buss, who thinks her daughter was frightened because of the presence of police. 'I think she was more worried that she was in trouble.'
Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is often added to foods and is present in many multivitamins and nutritional supplements. According to www.drugs.com, niacin often is used to reduce the risk of heart attack for people with high cholesterol and have already had a heart attack.
Flushing of the skin is a side effect of niacin.
Kaitlin remained at the St. John Macomb-Oakland Hospital for about two hours of observation and was released after her accelerated heart rate returned to normal, her mother said.
Buss said a school staffer obtained a pill that was thrown into a garbage can by a third student who was offered the 'candy' but declined to eat it. She said the hospital's pharmacy confirmed the pill was niacin.
Buss said her daughter felt fine the rest of Tuesday and returned to school on Wednesday. She said the boy who ate one of the bills also was feeling well Tuesday night and even spoke with Kaitlin.
Van Dyke Public Schools Superintendent Joe Pius said a student brought over-the-counter vitamins to school and, along with another student, offered it to classmates as candy. Two kids each ingested a pill.
School officials summoned the parents of all four children.
'Two kids were taken to the hospital just for precautionary measures,' Pius said. 'We made sure the kids were fine.'
Pius said the parents of the other two students were interviewed. Both pupils 'were dealt with' in accord with the district's student code of conduct, the superintendent said. He declined to elaborate.
'This was an isolated incident. It was dealt with immediately,' Pius added.
Buss said she learned that parents of the children who offered the pills to classmates wanted to go to the hospital to express regret over the incident but were advised by the Lincoln Elementary School principal to not make that visit.
The Warren mom said police told her charges would be filed in the case.
The Macomb Daily attempted to reach Warren Police Commissioner Jere Green and Deputy Police Commissioner Louis Galasso but a clerk said the police administration is not commenting on the incident.

Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility
The goal of the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility project is to understand the evolution of coastal ecosystems on the northern gulf coast, the impact of human activities on these ecosystems, and the vulnerability of ecosystems and human communities to more frequent and more intense hurricanes in the future.
Regional scale interdisciplinary investigations of the geological - geomorphological - biophysical structure, physical and ecological processes, and spatial patterns of social vulnerability in response to storm hazards of the northern Gulf of Mexico landscape are a high national priority following the devastating hurricanes of 2005. Holocene geologic and climate evolution, historical ecosystem change, present and projected future ecosystem structure, and the associated hazards to human populations will be investigated in parallel within integrated studies.

Hi Karen and Michelle,
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorites. Your book has me intrigued!
Are you only an opera singer or are there other stage performances you do?
Would you want to perform the Phantom of the Opera? Or have you?
- October 3, 2011 at 3:41 PM
Oh, I have to get this one. I love vampires!
Phantom of the Opera is a favorite of mine, too. I love to see it on stage. I've only seen the movie with Gerard Butler.
I enjoyed the original story, but I also love stories other authors have created about the phantom character.
Have you read any phantom stories you liked?

- Bianca Swan said...
Michelle, great title! I love stories about traditional vampires as well as the more modern mythos. Your plot and the potential for dark romance sounds very intriguing.
- October 3, 2011 at 4:20 PM
Thank you so much, Jacqueline! I appreciate your comments so much! Vampires and Phantom, both need the same amount of love! :)
Cathy, I do a lot of opera performances at St. Xavier University in Chicago. I have a huge recital at the end of October and am playing the Queen of the Night in the spring when we do The Magic Flute. I did some musical theatre in high school but not Phantom. How I wish I would have been able to do Phantom!! But aside from a few songs are recitals, I haven't been so lucky! If I could, I definitely would!
Katrina, I LOVE Susan Kay's Phantom. It is beautifully written and gives a back story to Erik's life. Excellent! And if you are interested, on my website are links to all of my phantom stories. Two are full novel-length. All are Erik/Christine. I can't help it that I'm not really a Raoul fan!
Desi, I'm so happy you got the book and are enjoying it!! Thank you so much!!!
And thank you, Bianca!! I'm so happy you are interested in it! Yes, they are definitely dark vampires! Those are the best kind! :)
Thanks again, everybody!

You're not crazy. YOu're obviously very talented. Combing opera with vampires seems like such a natural fit. All mysterious and yet strangely beautiful. I'm definitely adding this book to my TBR list!

- Dariel Raye said...
Hi Michelle and Karen. Even the musical score of "Phantom of the Opera" is luscious. What a perfect combination! My bachelor's degree is in music as well - I love the whole tortured soul idea that vampires embody. Here's wishing you beautiful music and mega-sales :)- Pen

Did the NSA stop Najibullah Zazi?
It's only natural that successful terrorist plots will generate vastly more attention that unsuccessful ones, but I've long believed that Najibullah Zazi is one of the under-appreciated stories of the last several years.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, we're talking about what was arguably the most serious domestic terrorist threat since 9/11. Zazi plotted with two friends to detonate bombs in New York City – Grand Central and Times Square – during rush hour, in the middle of the packed trains, to ensure the most carnage possible.
The plot had progressed to a rather dangerous point – this was not just an aspirational goal – before Zazi was taken into custody. From there, the system worked flawlessly – Zazi cooperated with law enforcement; co-conspirators were caught; and many lives were saved. In the post-9/11 era, this was as big a counter-terrorism victory as any we've seen in the United States, even if most Americans have no idea it happened.
Why am I bringing this up now? Because as Dan Amira explained, unnamed officials brought this up last week.
Late last week, unnamed sources told CBS News, Reuters, and the New York Times that the NSA's PRISM had helped to disrupt Najibullah Zazi's plot to bomb New York's subways in 2009. Thanks to PRISM, authorities were monitoring an e-mail address known to belong to a member of Al Qaeda. Zazi e-mailed that address and unwittingly revealed himself and his plans. He was arrested and now faces life in prison. Huzzah.
But it wasn't long before the credibility of this narrative was questioned.
The Associated Press' Adam Goldman explained that the NSA program was very likely irrelevant – British intelligence had already identified an al Qaeda email address, and shared that information with U.S. officials. Zazi did, in fact, send an urgent message to that address, which ultimately led to his arrest before he could successfully murder a lot of people.
So, what does this have to do with NSA surveillance, metadata, and PRISM? Given what we know, nothing.
But maybe, the argument goes, British intelligence learned of the al Qaeda email address in the first place thanks NSA programs. Right? No, as it turns out, the address was found on a laptop when a different terrorist was captured in 2009.
It appears, then, that conventional intelligence gathering saved the day – though that's not what the public heard over the weekend.
On the Sunday shows, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) both said that when it came to the Zazi case, the NSA programs in question were "exactly [what] was used."
It is, of course, possible that Feinstein and Rogers know details of the Zazi case that are highly relevant, and that the public is not aware of. But at a minimum, using this as an example to bolster the case in support of NSA surveillance seems dubious.
And stepping back, it's also worth acknowledging the bigger picture. For defenders of NSA surveillance programs, including the programs that have come to public light in recent days, there's a simple calculus: the surveillance saves lives and prevents terrorism, ergo they have merit and should be left in place.
To be sure, we can at least have a credible conversation about this – some may well argue that exhaustive government surveillance simply isn't worth the cost, even if it prevents attacks, and it's a debate worth having.
But we're not even at that point, since we don't know whether NSA surveillance is saving lives or not. And the one example the programs' defenders are touting seems fairly hard to believe.

Today is Sunday, at that means, of course, that it's time for football. Unless you're a quarterback in the NFL, it seems.
Today is Sunday, at that means, of course, that it's time for football. Unless you're a quarterback in the NFL, it seems.
The same way I get geared up for Sunday Night Baseball in the summer (unless it's another five-hour Red Sox/Yankees snooze fest), NBC's Sunday night game is typically a welcome sight, the last vestige of sports before the weekend ends and reality returns.
But tonight's marquee matchup of the Ravens and Steelers will have a little less pull, with Ben Roethlisberger injured and out for Pittsburgh with broken ribs that threatened his heart, thanks to the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's the same story tomorrow night. When the 49ers host the Bears tonight, Jay Cutler won't be behind center for Chicago, and Alex Smith might be absent from San Francisco's schemes as well. Both quarterbacks suffered concussions in Week 10, just the latest dominoes to fall now that the league is taking head injuries as seriously as they should.
It doesn't stop there, though. Michael Vick won't be in the lineup for Philadelphia this week. Running back Fred Jackson already missed Buffalo's game on Thursday with a concussion. That's just a small sample of this week's list, too. Every week, there's a new crop of players who can't leave their room thanks to a concussion, and every year, more players have their careers end and their lives encumbered by brain injuries, sometimes to horrifying conclusions.
Even with Roethlisberger, who suffered an injury below the neck, it all hits on the often-brutal nature of the sport, and how to best curb it enough to keep it exciting while retaining its humanity is not a question simply answered.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, to his credit, has attempted to tone down the nature of the injuries. New regulations for hits, fines and suspensions for helmet-to-helmet hits have at least brought awareness to the issue.
The league needs to do something, and at the least, they've made a start in the past couple of years. But it might be too late. Law suits from former players have piled up, and they're not likely to go away.
Players are bigger, stronger and faster now. Despite any attention-grabbing headlines about awful behavior that seem to scatter across headlines in the offseason, they keep themselves in better shape and better tuned for football season. On top of that, their equipment is better now — pads are harder and stronger, shoes help speed up and strengthen on the push, helmets can absorb and deliver more punishment.
So where is the solution? Do we take away some of the equipment from the players? Do we ban them from the gym for five days a week?
This is about more than toughness, or football being a "man's game," or any of that nonsense. Simply, it's about supporting a sport with a clear conscience. There's a reason the public stopped watching slaves be fed to lions, just as the most gruesome aspects of our culture tend to remain in the underground. It's upsetting. Who wants their Sunday ruined by that?
Goodell has at least tried to address the issue. The hope is there's room for physicality that lives between tough and brutal. The league wants to evolve the game in a way that maintains the edge while removing the inhumanity.
But I don't expect this to get better. I'm not sure how easily that line can be toed. And if the game's best players keep winding up on the sidelines with chilling brain injuries, I don't expect Sunday nights to be the exclusive province of the NFL forever.

|Candidates Countdown: GM Rogers on London
|By GM Ian Rogers
|March 15, 2013
A day before the start of the most important tournament of 2013, the Candidates Tournament, the main lecture theatre of London's Institute of Engineering and Technology was a frenzy of activity.
The IET, sitting next to the Thames, honors many of the great engineering minds of the past, with busts of Lord Kelvin (of absolute zero fame) and Michael Faraday, who built the first electric motor. FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov also pointed out that IET was only 100 meters from the venue where the Immortal Game between Anderssen and Kieseritsky was played.
In the early afternoon of Thursday the IET's lecture theatre "looked like a bomb site" said one observer, but soon the outlines of a playing hall began to take shape.
A team of carpenters busied themselves assembling tables for the players, while other workmen raised posters of the big event and checked that the screen above the players would give a clear view of the game positions to the audience in the theatre.
Chief arbiter Werner Stubenvoll dropped in to check the unusual lighting system and was suitably impressed while video chief Macauley Peterson made sure that his cameras were well placed to pick up all the action, both in the main hall and in the commentary room.
The entrance and commentary room saw a display of the so-called World Championship design chess set; a stylish design, though with the king looking a fraction too similar to the standard queen for this critic's eye.
As the construction of the stage was going on, some IET staff ventured into the theatre and tried to work out what was going on.
"It seems like the London division of a chess tournament," said one, seeing the World Chess London Candidates Tournament sign.
"I suppose so," said another. "I hear they are only going to be here for a couple of days." (I felt obliged to let them know that they were to lose their lecture hall for almost three weeks.)
As dusk fell in freezing London the players, their representatives and the arbiters started arriving for a 5.00pm technical meeting with the organizers in the Kelvin Room, a lounge filled with comfortable chairs and bar service.
The meeting was largely uncontroversial. When it was mentioned that Grischuk, the lone smoker, would need to leave the playing area and go outside the building in order to smoke, Aronian spoke for all when he said that they had known Sasha for years and they trusted him completely.
The specially designed chess sets were however a source of some unease amongst the players, who had been given sets to use in their hotel rooms. Apart from the squares being slightly too small for the (rather attractive) pieces, Grischuk, in particular found the white logo situated around the e0 square seriously distracting.
AGON chief Andrew Paulson, whose company had commissioned the sets and were hoping that they would become as ubiquitous as Staunton pattern sets, said that he was "happy to hear [the players'] opinions" but his body language indicated that he thought it was not necessary to make any changes.
Soon discussion turned to the trivial: did the snacks need to be on stage with the players – Kramnik thought not – and could Gelfand secure an espresso instead of a regular coffee – yes by asking the arbiter.
The technical meeting lasted for little more than half an hour after which the official opening ceremony began. More than 100 people attended – players, seconds, journalists, English chess' leading figures, FIDE officials and Azeri officials – SOCAR, the Azeri oil company is the major sponsor of the tournament.
SOCAR's massive sponsorship of the prize fund is the price tag for Teimour Radjabov to gain entry to the Candidates tournament, though the Azeri star, currently ranked number four in the world, is far from an undeserving wild card.) Even the British armed forces chess club made an appearance, supporting Carlsen since he was the only player from a NATO country. By halfway through the evening the men with multiple stripes on their uniforms were hanging out so much with the world number one that at times they looked like his security detail.
Since the pairings had already been made a week earlier – making sure that there would be no all-Russian match-ups in the final rounds of the tournament – there was little left to do except listen to speeches from Paulson and FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov and drink champagne (or, for most of the players, something non-alcoholic) and mingle. The crowd were serenaded by an unorthodox jazz trio – with saxophone, double bass and keyboard – and plentiful hors d'oeuvres were provided to accompany the drink.
The players all looked in great shape: Carlsen with his designer stubble, Svidler looking trim taut and terrific having lost 20 kilos in preparation for the Candidates tournament. Recently married Radjabov arrived with his wife. Gelfand looked just as relaxed as he did during his 2012 world title challenged and came with his trusty second Alexander Huzman.
Gradually most players drifted away, to prepare for the next day's encounter but jazz fan Levon Aronian, stayed on with his girlfriend Arianne Caoili until he remembered that he had the biggest job of all on Friday – a game against Magnus Carlsen.
The Norwegian would, of course, be the hot favorite to win in London, although Ladbrokes bookmakers' odds of 1/2 (with Aronian next favorite at 4/1, eight times longer odds) seem ridiculous.

Where to Watch the Games
There are at least two official tournament web sites - http://london2013.fide.com/and http://new.livestream.com/
The curious, but hopefully unofficial given their spelling of Shedule, site http://candidates2013.com/ has also sprung up.
The official site(s) will feature video of the games as well as commentary by the English duo of Laurence Trent and Malcolm Pein. Trent will be joined by Nigel Short in later rounds.
Playchess and Internet Chess Club have their usual varied teams of audio commentators, with Yasser Seirawan and Daniel King featuring in the line-up of both broadcasters.
After the games, various chess bloggers will have an opinion – and often some fine analysis - but for accuracy and sober assessments, The Week in Chess and Chess Vibes are the first port of call.
Also look for further reportage by GM Ian Rogers on the Candidates in CLO and in Chess Life Magazine.

RICHMOND, Va. – While senioritis crept in on her peers, Anett Farkas chose to finish her college career with style.
Farkas, a three-year volleyball standout for VCU, graduated Saturday with a degree in Fashion Merchandising, but not before she got a head start on her career. In January, Farkas and friend Carlos Funn, a professional photographer, founded the fashion blog FRSHSqueezed.com. Farkas writes and edits the blog, while Funn's photography gives the site a refined visual edge.
When the curtain fell on Farkas' volleyball career in November, she looked to occupy her time with new projects. When she returned from winter break this year, she and Funn launched FRSHSqueezed.
"The blog is a really good place to channel my energies," Farkas, who calls her personal style sort of an American-European fusion, says. "I didn't think it would be this much work, but it's a lot of fun."
Online, Farkas models some of her favorite styles, provides fashion tips and reports on local fashion fare. She does so while appealing to more than just a Richmond audience. A native of Budapest, Hungary, the site is written in both English and Hungarian, which Farkas hopes will invite readers from her native country.
"I thought it would be a good idea because I didn't want the Hungarian aspect to be lost," Farkas, 21, said. "I'm actually very excited that I'm building my Hungarian followers, and I've had quite a few likes on Facebook that are from Hungary and people that I don't know, and that's what gets me super excited."
Although still in its infancy, Farkas and Funn have already seen modest success. Earlier this year, they struck a partnership with Dillard's in Short Pump which allows Farkas to choose styles directly off the retailer's floor and model them on FRSHSqueezed. Recently, Richmond, Virginia Fashion Bloggers (RVAFB, for short) featured FRSHSqueezed on their "Saturday Spotlight", which casts a light on local fashion bloggers. FRSHSqueezed's Facebook page has already accumulated nearly 3,000 "likes".
Farkas also worked as a runway model for VCU Catalyst, a show featuring clothing by VCU Fashion Design and Merchandising students, at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on May 5. Not only did Farkas model at the show, but she was able to report on it for FRSHSqueezed.
Now that she's graduated, Farkas says she plans on investing herself in the site even further. There are a number of plans in the works, she says, and she and Funn hope to monetize the site in the near future.
"It's definitely evolving," Farkas, a two-year starter at outside hitter for the Rams, says, "But I'm excited that school's ending because I can really dive into it."
While it's a labor of love for Farkas, she says there are other motivations for the blog. Farkas, who recently completed a marketing internship with Sue Williams and Colleagues in Church Hill, says she'd like to find a job in the fashion industry in the United States, and the blog could help her stand out. What better way to market yourself than with a successful blog that incorporates modeling, writing, marketing, fashion forecasting, social media saavy, smart aesthetics and a heap of initiative? It's like a LinkedIn profile meets Vogue.
"I can kind of have that as a reference, [and say] 'This is my thing, I built it from zero to here in this much time. I think I can do that for your company, and I do have ideas.'"

And she does it again. Go-to gown? Not this girl. Red-carpet dressing means everything from leather trews to shorts and all-in-one lace jumpsuits for the ever-cool K-Stew. Whether in Zuhair Murad or Balenciaga, every looks comes complete with a nod to her personal rock-chick style. What a year!

Intro to TIG Welding with Allen Slamic
Intro to TIG Welding with Allen Slamic
4 Wednesdays 9/11-25, 7-10pm
$195; $145 for members
Tungsten Inert Gas [TIG] welding is an arc process that uses a non-comsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas. A filler metal (rod) is normally used in the welding process. TIG welding is commonly used for welding thin sheet metals, aluminum, stainless steel, magnesium, and copper alloys. TIG welding provides greater control over the look of the weld than other types of welding processes. This type of welding is typically used when welds will be highly visible.
This class will teach you the basics of TIG welding. We will focus on welding steel for practice. Aluminum and stainless steel will be introduced after a considerable amount of practice with steel. Students should have a small project in mind, no larger than an average night stand or small stool. The materials fee will cover practice metal and basic TIG supplies, but students are encouraged to bring their own materials for their individual projects.
Allen Slamic is the co-founder of ALEXALLEN STUDIO; a Gowanus Brooklyn based architecture and design studio.

Amassia, Astro-LOA, daily astro flash, enlightenment, gateless way, Kim Falconer, midpoint astrology, thrid eye
The great way is gateless, reached by a thousand paths. Know this and you walk free in the Universe. – Zen saying
Astro Flash: Neptune on the Sun/Uranus midpoint is a sudden, mystical opening of the inner sight, the third eye. Clouds are blown away and you see the world from a new perspective. Stay with it! Even an extra few seconds is enough to change your mind. Change your life.
Take a moment today to ask questions about the larger, meta story arc, of your life. Where are you really headed? What do you really want? In meditation, or a quite time alone, a walk in nature, listening to music, dancing, swimming, musing, you might look through your Third Eye. What is that? Casey Kochmer explains it well here:
The Third Eye is a very clever bit of natural evolution: a meta organ designed to sense, connect to patterns and then relay that data back in overlays of information on top of your other senses . . . – Personal Tao
In my new series, w/t Amassia, there is a culture that is built on the notion that we are all on the 'path,' whether it looks like it or not! Enlightenment is the goal, particularly for the 'savants', those trained in the sanctuaries to raise their phantoms who . . . well, I won't give away more just yet but certainly my mind has been on enlightenment lately, my characters' as well as my own!
What path are you one these days? I love that of all the thousands there are, each is headed in the same direction.
Have a blissful, insightful day!

A riot police is seen covered in milk as farmers dump milk on the European Parliament during a demonstration in Brussels on Nov. 26.
Reuters -- Dairy farmers sprayed thousands of gallons of fresh milk at the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday in protest at what they say are excessive milk quotas and prices below the cost of production.
Hundreds of farmers and tractors from across Europe took up position in a park near the European Commission and a square in front of the parliament in the early afternoon, after blocking traffic along several of Brussels' busiest streets.
They then turned their hoses on parliament, a collection of vast marble, glass and steel buildings on a Brussels square, and unleashed torrents of milk, some of it raining down on police and passers-by.
Afterwards they set alight barrels of hay and a pile of tires, sending plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky. They plan to stay put outside parliament until Tuesday afternoon.
The European Milk Board, which coordinated the two-day protest, said prices with current quotas were putting small farmers out of business. In Belgium, for example, the board said the wholesale price for a quarter gallon of milk was around 34 cents, but the cost of producing it is more than 50 cents. Continue reading.

In case you hadn't heard, there's a little event happening in London this summer. It goes by the name of the Olympic Games. For those not lucky enough to have got their hands on tickets, all the action can now be watched on Acer's special-edition Olympic Iconia A510.
Pocket-lint got to have a play with the limited-edition version back in March, when we were shown the Olympic branding on the back of the tablet, but it's now emerged that the device will come preloaded with the Eurosport Player App.
Though the app is free to download, a monthly subscription of £4.99 is needed to view content. However, customers who purchase the Olympic edition of the Iconia A510 will have free access from the day they buy it, to 13 August, thus covering the duration of the games.
Anyone who orders the device before 29 June will also be entered into a draw to win an Acer K330 Projector worth £480.
The Acer Iconia A510 runs on Ice Cream Sandwich, houses a 1.3GHz Quad-core processor, features a 10.1-inch WXGA display and has 32GB of storage.
The special-edition Olympic Acer Iconia A510 is available now from Carphone Warehouse from £349.
Is the Olympic edition enough to entice you to buy the Acer Iconia A510 tablet? Let us know in the comments below.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The father of a black woman fatally shot by a white police officer inside her Fort Worth, Texas, home has died.
In this Monday, Oct. 14, 2019 photo, flowers lie on the sidewalk in front of the house in Fort Worth, Texas, where a white Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson, a black woman, through a back window of her home. (AP Photo/David Kent, File)
A spokesman for Marquis Jefferson, Bruce Carter, tells the Dallas Morning News that the father of Atatiana Jefferson suffered a heart attack and died Saturday night at a Dallas hospital. Carter tells KDFW that Jefferson "just couldn't get back from what happened with his daughter."
The 28-year-old Jefferson was killed last month after police went to her home for a welfare check. The Fort Worth officer, Aaron Dean, was charged with murder after resigning from the force.
After his daughter's death, Marquis Jefferson sought a temporary restraining order to gain control over the funeral arrangements from his daughter's aunt. A deal was eventually reached and the funeral was rescheduled.

Updated 10/18/2013 at 3:12pm
(CNN) - Senator-elect Cory Booker will move forward with his support of same-sex marriage, with plans to grant the marriages of several same-sex couples 12:01 a.m. Monday after a court ruling goes into effect.
The story was first reported by Buzzfeed. The New Jersey Democrat, who's the mayor of Newark, re-tweeted that article to his celebrity-sized Twitter crowd of 1.4 million followers.
According to Buzzfeed, Booker will recognize the weddings of at least 10 same-sex couples at Newark City Hall.
The weddings will come after a New Jersey judge ruled last month that the already legal civil unions in the state didn't go far enough because they prevented couples from getting federal benefits. In her ruling, the judge cited the June Supreme Court decision that overturned a key part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie's administration filed an appeal with the state Supreme Court, but on Friday the court refused to grant a stay. That means that the initial ruling allowing same-sex marriage is still valid and will go into effect Monday, hence the timing of the weddings Booker plans to grant.
The state Supreme Court is expected to hear further arguments in January.
Booker's political celebrity and high-profile fundraising helped the two-term mayor sail to a decisive victory in the special election this week to fill the rest of the term of Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died in June.
- CNN's Bryan Koenig and Kevin Conlon contributed to this report.
Dominican mama 4 Obama
@ Data
Probably too soon for Booker,
Really Data?
I had made the same "too soon" argument about Barack Obama in early 2007 when he announced a candidacy. Then I started counting up the years. I came up with the next best window of opportunity another 16 years away.
It seemed almost a given that another Republican would not win a general election in 2008. If Obama didn't run in 2008, then another Democrat was likely to win, and likely to be re-elected in 2012. Eight years have passed, and it is now 2016. I found it unlikely that the nation would elect a Democrat in 2016, simply because it is quite rare for a POTUS to serve two terms and then have another member of his party win the next election. I reasoned 2016 would go to a Republican, who would get re-elected in 2020, which carries us all the way out to 2024...... another 16 years later and he would be well into his 60s.
Seeing how it is difficult to stay at the top of the headlines and public opinion for 16 years, during which time you can easily become type cast like a character actor, it was better for a young Illinois Senator to make a try in 2008 and lose, than to not try at all. At least if he lost, then he could have better name recognition moving forward than if he didn't run.
A similar rationale can be used to understand why I repeatedly say that Hillary Clinton missed her best window of opportunity in 2008. It is almost a certainty that the right wing will make an issue out of age and health by the time 2016 gets here. Do you think Clinton will still be healthy and vibrant come 2024, which would be the end of two terms?
@wake up people-ever heard of allen west, micheal steele, nikki haley, marco rubio, herman cain, ben carson, condi rice, etc. They all have 2 things in common they are not white and they are republicans.
@wake up people-ever heard of allen west, micheal steele, nikki haley, marco rubio, herman cain, ben carson, condi rice, etc. They all have 2 things in common they are not white and they are republicans.
Steel- banished from GOP
Haley- Pretty savvy, a possible contender
Rubio- A TP rube
Cain- Crazy man with no chance
Carson- -ditto
Rice- Vey bright Cold War warrior that's about 40 years behind the times- and has no interest in public office
So, what's you point the GOP has (had?) 6 member of color? So? Their members of Crazy far outnumber their diversity quotient.
@DM4O, Rudy,
It's funny: if Obama hadn't already "jumped early" from Senator to President, I'd feel a lot better about Booker's chances to do the same. But he'll get copycat grief if he tries to run. Of course, Christie and Ted Cruz will get no grief for unfinished terms, because It's Okay If You're Not A Black Democrat, apparently.
Rudy, I agree that all Dems and/or liberals take the time to shop around. The last time Hill was inevitable, she got routed by a guy no one but political junkies had ever heard of. I would also ask prominent Dem leaders to put themselves forward. Let US decide, please - just like in 08.
Rudy NYC
Do you think Clinton will still be healthy and vibrant come 2024, which would be the end of two terms?
Hard to predict a person't future health as I'm sure you'll agree Rudy,
reagan was 71 when he assumed the presidency for his first term. He was 79 at the end of his second term. Some say he was suffering from dementia somewhere long before his second term ended. I don't know.
Hillary will be 69 in 2016. Assuming she wins and serves two terms tha'll put her at around the same age as Reagan at the end of her presidency.
The advantage that Hillary has, however, that no other president has had, is that she's in a sense been there done that through her husband, Bill.
She will come into the White House fully familiarized with its rigours, demands, and hectic schedules. She will have Bill there to help her navigate and guide her through a learning curve that all other presidents have had to go at alone,at least certainly without the added advantage of having had their spouse be and ex-president.
Those advantages go a long way towards staving off some of the stress and anxiety of jumping into something with such a huge burden of responsibility as being POTUS.
So I think, IMHO Rudy, that Hillary will be fine. She should excercise regularly, eat moderately, prioritize well, multi-task and laugh a lot. Oh and love.
Thank you rs......
Six or seven uncles that have been used and then cast aside. I didn't have the energy to post a comment that probably would have been zapped.
@rs- the point is if the gop was so racist why didn`t they exclude these folks from their party.
You ever heard the word t o k e n?

Mine company nearly finished with exploratory drilling
A company looking to dig a huge iron mine south of Lake Superior is expected to finish exploratory drilling within days.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources officials say Gogebic Taconite is expected to finish its eighth and final test hole by the end of the week.
The next step for Gogebic Taconite will be removing larger rock samples from five sites in the mine area. The DNR hasn't granted a permit for that process yet. Agency officials say they want more details on the plan.
The mine has been a flashpoint of contention for conservationists. Gogebic Taconite deployed armed guards at the site last week after protesters wrested a camera away from an employee in June. The guards were removed on Wednesday because they lacked the proper state license.

Here is the press release we have been waiting for -
"Library and Archives Canada took custody of the Census of the Canadian population, 1921 from Statistics Canada on June 1st, 2013, and is beginning work to make it discoverable for Canadians. Closed for 92 years under the Statistics Act to protect individuals' private information, the census data is being indexed so it can be mined for historical and genealogical research as soon as possible.
Information for the census was collected on the following five subjects: population; agriculture; animals, animal products, fruits not on farms; manufacturing and trading establishments; and supplemental questionnaire for persons who were blind and deaf. This represents a total of 565 questions. The population questionnaire contained only 35 questions.
Library and Archives Canada is committed to making the 1921 Census' rich and complex information accessible and available to all Canadians, no matter where they live, in the next few weeks. Further details on the 1921 Census' availability will be shared once they are available".
So there we have it – the 1921 Census has been transferred from Statistics Canada to the Library and Archives Canada.
Now, the LAC isn't saying who the indexers are, right now. Will we learn, as they say, in the next few weeks? Who are these "mysterious indexers"?

Cane, Walker and Commode Tips
Finding the right replacement tips for canes, walkers, and portable commodes is critical to safety. The rubber tips on these mobility devices often wear down and lose their gripping ability over time. Instead of replacing the entire walker, cane or commode, just replace the tips to regain stability an prevent slips.

For more than a year now, we've been working hard behind the scenes developing an easier-to-use website. While insurance industry professionals -- agents, brokers and insurers -- are familiar with navigating our site, testing showed that consumers could only complete site-related tasks about a third of the time. That's a problem, obviously, when a key part of our mission is informing and protecting consumers.
So we've revised the navigational structure of the site to make it a lot more intuitive. For years, for example, much of the navigational structure on the site simply mirrored the agency's organizational chart, rather than putting things where average users would expect them to be.
Along the way, we've repeatedly tested the changes on both consumers and industry professionals to make sure that we really are improving things, rather than just changing them.
The upshot: Successful task completion on the website for consumers, which is about 33 percent on our current website, rises to nearly 80 percent on our new prototype website, pictured below.
We're also changing the look and feel of the site to update it. The site isn't live yet, but we're expecting to make the change in mid-January.
There will inevitably be some hiccups and things we'll need to fix, but we think you'll like the new site better. And we know it will be easier to use.

Some Lazy Man's Brioche I made this week. Quite tasty.
My biggest takeaway, baking-wise, from the Kneading Conference West this year is that I've been baking with too strong flour. I almost always use bread flour, and generally try to bake with the highest protein flour I can find. It works, in the sense that I usually have strong loaves that can hold their shape well, but they are tougher and less tasty than they need to be. So I'm trying to ease up and get used to mixing in more AP flour. I did this with a batch of pizza dough last week and it turned out really nice, much more extensible than what I typically make.
Still much more to learn about and explore.

We have a strange problem when using german umlauts in the senders from name on different OpenEMM versions.
Let's say the senders name is Jürgen Lastname.
It translates to quoted-printables in the following way:
OpenEMM 2011
From: =?UTF-8?Q?J=C3=BCrgen_Lastname?= <email@example.com>
OpenEMM 2015R2
From: =?UTF-8?Q?"J=C3=BCrgen_Lastname"?= <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Outlook (different Versions) displays the mail sent with OpenEMM 2011 correctly.
The mail sent with OpenEMM 2015R2 is displayed in Outlook (different Versions) with an additional whitespace in front of the senders name.
The senders name gets indented one character what looks very irritating to the receiver.
Is this a bug in OpenEMM 2015R2 or a specific Outlook problem?
Quoted-printable headers OpenEMM 2011 vs OpenEMM 2015R2
