Human Rights Violators should NOT be rewarded with Money or Prestige!Posted: July 26, 2008 Filed under: No Obama | Tags: Human Rights Violations and China, Nepal, Obama advertising Beijing Olympics, Obama no, sherpa 8 Comments
This picture was sent to me earlier this year by a friend that is a Buddhist monk. We are both of the faith typically called "Tibetan" Buddhism. As such, we're pretty much automatically labelled enemies of the Chinese People. I wanted to share this picture with you because of several things going on right now concerning His Holiness the Dali Lama, the candidates for President, and the upcoming Beijing Olympics.
This picture demonstrates the real force being the so-called rioting monks and the violence last April in Tibet. It was posed so China could justify the disappearance of over 10,000 Buddhist monks and nuns. You are seeing this correctly. It is a group of Chinese soldiers holding monk garb. This was taken by a friend of ours right after some of the riots. I think you can figure out the rest for yourself.
I decided to re-open this issue since I was also speaking to my Lama today. A lama is a spiritual teacher along the lines of a Rabbi in Judaism. His wife, Ang Dawa, is an activist for the Sherpa peoples. They both are from Nepal but were born in a section where the line between Nepal and China is more relevant to countries than native peoples. The Sherpas are indigenous people living in the Himalaya Mountains and you all probably know them best for their incredible mountaineering skills. Ang Dawa has just been elected to the new Nepali parliament and has been an activist/journalist for the UN for many years for Human and Women's Rights. She just wrote an article in the local newspaper stating that there are basic human rights and they include being able to practice religion as you see fit, including becoming monks and nuns. It was a very generic article on human rights and mentioned no countries by name. However, there are over 10,000 tibetan buddhist monks and nun–many of which are Sherpa–unaccounted for after the april/may so-called uprisings. This includes some of the senior most and most respected rinpoches. They have simply disappeared.
While I am not surprised the President George W. Bush has decided to attend the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, I had held out some hope. This week there have been several headlines out there concerning both the Olympics and the struggles of the Tibetan people to maintain their cultural identity and practice their religion. There have also been some activities on the parts of presidential candidates. I argue, both activities are essential windows into their approaches to Human Rights.
The first was this picture of John McCain and his Holiness the Dali Lama. The New York Times in its story stated this:
"But other Republicans — the so-called foreign policy pragmatists, many of whom have come to view the Iraq war as a mistake — say the administration's policy shifts highlight the more confrontational nature of Mr. McCain's foreign policy, particularly in his approach toward Russia and his embrace on Friday of the Dalai Lama, whom the Chinese regard as the fomenter of a rebellion in Tibet. They say the meeting will only antagonize China before the Summer Olympics, and at a moment when the United States is seeking its cooperation on economic issues and negotiations with North Korea."

At the same time, we see this move from the Obama Campaign.
As reported by Advertising Age, it appears that the Obama campaign is going to be a major TV sponsor of the Beijing Olympics.
"It's official. Sen. Barack Obama's campaign will be among the TV sponsors of NBC Universal's Olympics coverage. In the first significant network-TV buy of any presidential candidate in at least 16 years, the Obama campaign has taken a $5 million package of Olympics spots that includes network TV as well as cable ads. According to NBC's political file, the campaign had initially requested information about 500,000, $2 million and $4 million package of Olympics spots. The network also offered the candidate a $10 million package."
So, let me ask you a question. Aren't the progressives supposed to be the ones concerned with Human Rights and standing up for them regardless of the economic consequences? Is it way too cynical of me to see this move by the Obama campaign as finding a way to profit and gain votes from an event that highlights a country that mistreats its peoples? This is Communist China folks! Monks and Nuns disappear there. Google and MIcrosoft have had to build limits into their software to suppress free speech in this country.
Oh, btw, after the Chinese government protested the publication of Ang Dawa's statement of basic human rights, there were threats issued to the publisher of that paper in Nepal. The paper has been been barred from further publication.
Is this the type of thing the Obama campaign should be sponsoring with campaign dollars?
I read the news today, OH BOY!Posted: July 9, 2008 Filed under: Hillary Clinton: Her Campaign for All of Us, No Obama, U.S. Economy | Tags: Christopher Hitchens, economic plan, FISA, Jackson nuts comment, mortgage meltdown, Obama no, presidential primary, Vanity Fair August Edition, waterboarding Comments Off on I read the news today, OH BOY!
If I was in need of a mini-vacation then I have to tell you that reading the latest Vanity Fair was not going to do it for me. There were three articles that brought me down to earth with a thud! One was the account by Christopher Hitchens who voluntarily underwent water boarding and concluded that it really is torture. I think the most valuable quote I got from the article was bolded and oversized and said "If waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture."
Hitchens was one of the biggest drummers in the drumbeat to the Iraq War. This article is about four pages and has some very close up and big pictures showing the manner in which George Bush has defined the "American Way' to the world. You can also find a video of his experiences on youtube. It is not for the faint of heart and I'll let you google it.
The second article was a dissection of Hillary's campaign. This was a depressing walk down the first six months of the year. My favorite part of the article was this bit:
"The air began to go out of Barack Obama's balloon on the night of March 13, when ABC News ran clips from inflammatory sermons by the pastor from an Afro-centric church in Chicago, in which Reverend Jeremiah Wright twisted "God Bless America' into "God Damn America." Then on April 11, less than two weeks before the Pennsylvania vote, Penn read comments on the Huffington Post from a closed door speech Obama had given at a San Francisco fund-raiser. He seized on Obama's characterization of small-town, working class Pennsylvania voters as "bitter' because of economic distress and disposed to cling to "guns or religion."
This was the turning point that came a little too late for Hillary but still is turning on Barrack Obama. Of course, after we were told that this was NOT the Jermiah Wright Obama knew, he moved on. After the FISA vote today, I'm sure there are a lot of folks saying this is not the Obama they thought THEY knew. Obama has now decided that granting Telecom companies immunity for conspiring to spy on American citizens is acceptable. Perhaps this version is not the IMMUNITY GRANT he once knew and swore he'd filibuster. He voted for it. Hillary stood by her convictions and voted against it.
This came after a week of selling-out on so many issues so noticeably that we caught a rare morsel of the frustration of black activists on primetime with Jesse Jackson's poignant but crude remark. He wanted to "cut off Obama's nuts" for "talking down to black people on morality" without mentioning the bigger issues of many young black men who grow up in neighborhoods filled with violence, horrid schools, and Mt. Everest-level unemployment rates. I'm pretty sure NARAL felt that way too when Obama implied that women will seek unnecessary third term abortions just because they feel a little 'blue'. However, nice ladies talk about removing men's private parts away from live microphones
The final article was about the Bear Sterns bailout. This was again pertinent since we're now talking about multi-million dollar bailouts of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Ben Bernanke has been on the stump for expanded regulatory powers of the Fed in the mortgage and mortgage derivatives markets. Afterall, if they're stuck with these nonperforming assets on the tax payer's books, they might as well have the ability to stop these demons of greed before they strike again. This while more foreclosures are imminent and the illustrious Secretary of the Treasury says there's no way to bail out the poor unfortunates stuck into risky mortgage vehicles because banks really wanted some high points. This is going to be no solace to anyone shortly. Even if you are making your mortgage payment, it only takes a few neighbors not paying to put your home's equity on a downward spiral. I don't know about you, but I've heard NADA, zilch, ZIP, NOTHING about this big problem from either of the presidential candidates. Probably because Obama's finance committee and big donors are mostly the folks that created this problem and well, let's face it, I've never met a Republican willing to go mano-y-mano with the American Banker's Association.
All of this after I woke up to the news that Iran had just successfully tested a new long range missile capable of hitting Israel AND carrying a nuclear warhead. Of course, the Russians and Chinese, those folks whose sudden turn to capitalism has made them friends of Dubya, had something to do with this. As far as I can tell, once a totalitarian regime, ALWAYS a totalitarian regime. But you know, it's more important that George gets to wave from the stands of the Olympic Opening ceremonies rather than stand for anything like, NOT throwing folks in prison for disagreeing with the government. OH, right, I forgot, that's what could happen with the FISA thing and Obama voted for it and McCain just didn't think it significant enough to show up and do anything about. Plus, Obama is just looking forward to getting elected so he can have a kumbayah moment with these guys. Yeah, that's going to work real well. Perhaps he can send Jesse and Jeremiah over there to soften them up a bit.
So, this is the best our democracy offers us–two men who have no compass to point out what is right or wrong.
Two men who will say and do anything to be president while the newspapers are filled with situations outlining serious problems that need solutions. Next time I feel like a good summer read, I think I'll find a good comic book. Maybe I'll look for some thing from Japan with one of those Ninja warriors that takes on all the injustices of the world and lives by the samauri code. Maybe we can find one that will fight for truth, justice and the American way.

Samikhsya Bureau
Odisha chief minister has really taken the clock back and in the state politics what is really missing is the air of a strong dissent. BJP is, as evident, happy playing the second fiddle and what has made things for Patnaik more easy is the plight of deserters from the BJD who had tried to dig a pit to bury the Biju legacy, that Naveen Patnaik continues to perpetuate successfully for last two decades.
Among the ones who were out of the BJD or were ousted on grounds of indiscipline, were Damodar Rout and the Baijayant Panda. A duo which had somehow been in the focus either for their relevance in the BJD or for a kind of revolt against the Naveen-led regime. But politics which is fraught with several uncertainties have failed to become the intelligent ones in their efforts.
It was obviously the lack of stubborn conviction which has driven many others who had left the BJD in the past and later became hostages of their own creation.
For example, Odisha's former chief minister Giridhar Gamang, once a benevolent head of state suffered a slide in politics rather abruptly after coming into the BJP. And the most recent twist being the case of Ashok Panigrahi, who had fought the Bijepur poll as the BJP candidate after leaving the BJD, is nowhere now. He has been abandoned by the party as a lame duck post his debacle in Bijepur poll. Now his laments have any listeners.
A cursory glance shows how many others who chose the BJP as the last resort have become victims of either isolation or cynical manipulations of their own creation.
The case of Dilip Ray, a staunch Biju loyalist, who had often been playing political footsie both with the BJD and the BJP for some time in the recent days, is irrelevant for both.
Although, what happened to Bijay Mohapatra is all together a different case. His penchant for resentment of the obvious in 2000 itself landed him in a spot he had never been able to recover from in the face of tight political manipulations by the BJD.
Even worst of his enemies have some empathy for him but, fate has, somehow, failed to smile on him since. Vanity in politics and political prudence can hardly travel together in present politics and Mohapatra has remained a disappointed one.
All the above cases are the ones' those who had found themselves reared by a leader like Biju Patnaik, who had always supported rarefied political upbringing and also had always encouraged some criticism from within, should have developed a power to face some unpleasant facts of today's politics.
They were all leaders of some consequence, riding piggy back, now have reduced themselves to the kind of spent forces for the BJP itself.

Several new features have been added to my MVP framework.
It is possible to create a fully localized application. Some localized message are framework embedded (for instance messages like: Yes, No, Accept, Resign) and it is possible also to create application specific messages.
More detailed description is available here.
Example of localized application (Google App Engine).
English (default)
In both cases U/P is admin/admin
Check list widget utilization
In application available from above a check list widget is used in order to specify permission for the specific user in the specific hotel.
The purpose is to develop Web application business logic only in Jython code without recompiling and redeploying the application. It means that during development every request should read fresh copy of jython code and dialog XML format. But of course it should be avoided in production code because it means significant reduction in performance. So development mode is introduced with the following features:
- Jython code, XML dialog and message bundles outside java class loader to avoid constantly republishing application to application server (when Eclipse project is open)
- No caching, just load resources directly form file system.
- Restart Jython with every request
- Every request takes a new copy of bundle messages.
The application above is the first step in creating Java Hotel application. So far simple administration part is created - allows defining hotels, user and permissions.
Full source code of Java Hotel application created so far is available here. Also not Google App Engine (JPA based) version has been created.
Next step
Authentication to Java Hotel application using realm created in Administrative part described above.

LOS ANGELES With the N.B.A.'s age limit under assault by a congressman and a variety of critics, Commissioner David Stern reiterated Thursday that he was happy with the policy and had no interest in abolishing it.
Speaking during a news conference before Game 1 of the N.B.A. finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic, Stern also announced that he had fined LeBron James $25,000 for failing to meet with the news media after the Cleveland Cavaliers' loss to Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals last Saturday.
Stern defended the motives and underpinnings of the age policy, which generally requires players to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school before becoming eligible to play in the N.B.A. The age limit was instituted in 2005 through negotiations with the players union.
"This is not about the N.C.A.A., this is not an enforcement of some social program," Stern said. "This is a business decision by the N.B.A., which is: We like to see our players in competition after high school."
In fact, Stern has expressed a desire to raise the age limit to 20 in the next round of collective bargaining. The union wants to repeal the rule.
The issue drew renewed focus this week when Representative Steve Cohen, Democrat of Tennessee, issued a news release assailing the age limit. In an interview Wednesday, Cohen called the policy "a vestige of slavery," because most of the players affected are African-American.
"Not like the slavery of 150 years ago," Cohen said, "but it's a restraint on a person's freedoms and liberties."
In defending the policy, Stern noted that Congress itself has a minimum age of 25.
"I don't know why our founders decided that age 25 was good for Congress, but I guess they thought that was about maturity," Stern said. "For us, it's a kind of basketball maturity."
Critics of the rule say it prevents players from making a living and forces them to go to college for a year. Stern disagreed, saying that players can choose to attend college or junior college, or play in the N.B.A.'s Development League or in Europe.
"So this is not a mandatory direction by anyone that players should go to college," he said.
As for James, who left the arena without congratulating the Magic players and initially defended his actions when he met with the news media on Sunday, he expressed regret when he spoke with Stern on Wednesday, the commissioner said.
"He expressed to me that when he left the building and did not meet the media or did not congratulate the Magic, he was wrong," Stern said. "He asked that I express to the media, the Magic and the fans his apology, and particularly the young fans, because he knows he has a responsibility to all of our fans and that sportsmanship is appropriate, whether you win or whether you lose."
Stern also spoke on other topics.
¶The N.B.A. has no plans to allow corporate sponsorships on player jerseys, as the W.N.B.A. has done, although Stern said, "We'll study it."
¶In light of the recession, Stern said that N.B.A. revenue could be down "maybe as much as 10 percent." The league is discussing whether to change its revenue-sharing model, which is extremely limited compared with the N.F.L. and Major League Baseball.

- Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass Goes to England
In late 1856 and early 1857, three comic letters appeared in the Keokuk Post signed "Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass."1 Written in an exaggerated vernacular, the letters relate the humorous adventures of a wide-eyed Keokuk bumpkin, who travels for the first time to big cities like St. Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati. Snodgrass variously finds himself amazed by the steam action of a train, baffled by the events of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, startled at the hellishness of Chicago, and tricked into taking a baby in a basket (whom he is later caught trying to dispose of in water).2 Snodgrass is, in short, a gentle idiot. He is also a work of fiction, created by a young Samuel Clemens. Writing under a pseudonym, Clemens published the trio of travel letters in the Post for a total commission of fifteen dollars.3 They are thought to be among the earliest newspaper pieces, if not the very earliest, Clemens wrote for payment. In his later years Clemens maintained that he did not recollect writing them,4 but the three letters are assuredly his. No additional letters by Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass are known to exist.
But there is one more. It did not appear in the Keokuk Post, nor any other American newspaper, but rather in the London Speaker for 1891, a full thirty-four years after the writer had last signed off as Snodgrass. At the time, the Speaker published weekly theatrical reviews, most of them signed by one "A.B.W." In the July 4, 1891 issue "A.B.W." argued that although anti-theatrical sentiment was then widespread in London, those in the business of theater should embrace such dismissiveness as a compliment. As the reviewer puts it, [End Page 175]
deep down in the hearts of men there persists the feeling that to make a public show of yourself for money, to be always expressing ideas not your own, and emotions which you do not feel, to pretend in short to be what you are not—to clap a hump on your back and call yourself Richard the Third, as Johnson puts it—is to violate the dignity of a citizen and a free man, to resign the "captaincy of your soul."5 You may consider this feeling Philistine, if you will; call it "ignorant" with Mr. [Henry] Irving, "bitter and unreasoning" with Mr. [John] Hare; but the point is that nearly all men, whether consciously or unconsciously, entertain it. I am not defending the prejudice. I am merely trying to appreciate it. Why will not the actors do the same? Why will they not frankly accept the situation, and regard themselves—with a certain pride—as a class apart?
The solution, apparently, is to grin and bear it—that is, not to discuss it so "uncritically," but rather to understand that "the prejudice against them is a more or less unconscious—and if they will only look at it philosophically, not unflattering—recognition."6
"A.B.W." was Arthur Bingham Walkley, by day a clerk at London's General Post Office and by night a book and theater critic. Today, he is probably best remembered as the addressee of Bernard Shaw's introductory epistle to Man and Superman (1903). In this lengthy letter, Shaw aims to convince his close friend Walkley that the best plays are not comedies of manners or wit, but of social conscience. "It is your favorite jibe at me that what I call drama is nothing but explanation," writes Shaw,
but I have a conscience; and conscience is always anxiously explanatory. You, on the contrary, feel that a man who discusses his conscience is much like a woman who discusses her modesty. The only moral force you condescend to parade is the force of your wit: the only demand you make in public is the demand of your artistic temperament for symmetry, elegance, style, grace, refinement, and the cleanliness which comes next to godliness if not before it. But my conscience is the genuine pulpit article: it annoys me to see people comfortable when they ought to be uncomfortable; and I insist on making them think...

80-Year-Old Malaysian Uncle Has Been Selling Bak Kwa Buns For 4 Decades
At the ripe old age of 80, most should ideally be enjoying their retirement. Some, however, do not have the luxury of doing so.
According to a Facebook post dated 6 Nov, an 80-year-old uncle from Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia continues to sell bak kwa buns so he can earn enough to survive.
Bak kwa sandwiches for just S$1
According to the post, the elderly uncle works from a worn-out red motorcycle outside ICC Pudu, an indoor market in KL.
He sells bak kwa sandwiches at just S$1 (RM3) and is swift in preparing the snack — presumably owing to his decades of experience.
The uncle claims he earns less than S$0.30 (RM1) for each sandwich he sells but remains grateful for having the chance to make an honest living.
He sells about 30-50 sandwiches a day, which he states is enough for him to yum cha – meaning 'drink tea' in Cantonese – from time to time.
According to netizens, the uncle's sandwich tastes really good for its price.

Has no one to take care of him
Despite being in his 80s, the uncle reportedly has no one to take care of him. He is currently single and has no contact with his siblings.
According to World of Buzz, the uncle is contented with just being healthy and doesn't expect much in life.
The uncle, who worked previously as a construction worker, has problem with his lower limbs. He reportedly left the construction industry as a result of his leg injuries.
Sells buns no matter rain or shine
The strong-hearted uncle can be found outside ICC Pudu, no matter rain or shine.
However, his operating hours are unclear.
If you happened to be around the area, make sure to help the uncle out by patronising his bak kwa buns stall.

Latrobe was hired to design this building due to a heightened need for clean water sources because of the yellow fever outbreaks of 1793. The building never was very efficient, it needed a lot of maintenance and was ultimately discontinued. The design shows the Greek-Roman designs that Latrobe generally sticks to. Graff was put in charge of developing a more practical design after it was clear that Latrobe's original didn't work out.

Francis Rooney Introduces bill to Permanently Protect Florida's Gulf Coast from Offshore Drilling
Francis Rooney Introduces bill to Permanently Protect Florida's Gulf Coast from Offshore Drilling, January 3, 2019 | Chris Berardi (202-897-7700) |
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Francis Rooney introduced a bill to permanently ban oil and gas leasing, preleasing, and related activities in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Congressman Rooney stated, "Water quality impacts all of Florida's residents and visitors. I want to ensure that all areas east of the Military Mission Line in the Gulf of Mexico are permanently protected from offshore oil drilling. In 2022, the moratorium on drilling and exploration will expire. Offshore drilling will negatively affect our environment, tourism, and military readiness. I am fighting to protect our Florida coast for future generations to enjoy - Florida's economy is dependent on clean water and a healthy environment."

Best 19 of Picnic quotes - MyQuotes
Jeffrey Stepakoff
She leaned over the basket again, taking in the mouthwatering aromas wafting out of it. "Fried chicken? Oh, I'm thinking buttermilk fried chicken?" Dylan was once again amused. "How do you do that?" "I like food." "You don't say." "And I love Southern fried chicken." She tried to open the basket, and he tapped her hand jokingly. "Sit," he said. And she did, crossing her legs and plopping down on the blanket. Opening the basket and playing waiter, Dylan began removing flatware and plates and red-checkered napkins, and then wrapped food. "For lunch today in Chez Orchard de Pomme, we have some lovely cheese, made from the milk of my buddy Mike's goat Shelia." He removed the plastic wrap, which covered a small log of fresh white cheese on a small plate, and handed it to her. Grace put her nose to the cheese. It was heavenly. "Oh, Shelia is my new best friend." "It's good stuff. And we have some fresh chili corn bread. The corn, I think, is from Peter Lindsey's new crop, just cut out from the maze, which is right down this hill." He motioned with his head toward the field, and then he handed her a big loaf of the fresh corn bread wrapped loosely in wax paper. "It's still warm!" Delighted, she held it to her cheek. Then he pulled out a large oval Tupperware container. "And, yes, we have Dolly's buttermilk fried chicken." Grace peeled open the top and smelled. "Fabulous." "It is!" He also pulled out a mason jar of sourwood honey, a sack of pecans, and a couple of very cold bottles of a local mountain-brewed beer.
Plus, Mama packed a good picnic. That night she brought us plenty of ham sandwiches and Lay's potato chips, plus orange slices and Oatmeal Caramelitas, a salty, buttery layer of oats topped with chocolate chips, walnuts, and melted Kraft caramels.
Becky Albertalli
I bring the leftovers to rehearsal, and Ms. Albright lets us have a cake picnic on the stage. And by cake picnic, I mean drama kids hunched over the box like vultures shoveling cake by the fistful.
Kristen Ashley
I'd eat a picnic in Hades with him.
Love is like a picnic without ants, pleasant for a while, but sooner or later something's definitely getting squashed.
Eloisa James
The sun danced through the small leaves of the oak, turning them saffron and dappling the blankets with the ghosts of baby leaves. Ewan very seriously filled all the glasses with bluebells, and gave them water from the stream, so the picnic turned from a very formal affair, all heavy silver and starched linen, to a child's tea party.
She serves us, pouring the iced tea into red plastic cups, piling chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a couple of biscuits each onto our plates. It's an almost entirely brown meal. Mama would say it needs a colorful vegetable to complete it, but brown or not, it tastes good. Salty and hot, except for the tea of course, which is cold and sweet.
A picnic is more than eating a meal, it is a pleasurable sate of mind.
The idea of a sandwich as a snack goes back to Roman times. Scandinavians perfected the technique with the Danish open-faced sandwich, or smorroebrod, consisting of thinly sliced, buttered bread and many delectable toppings.
They sat under a walnut tree on wooden benches draped with kilims and soon the table was covered with small dishes of yogurt, olives cured with angelica, eggplant and whey cooked to a silky paste, piles of basil, cilantro, and tarragon, and a pitcher of doogh, the tangy yogurt drink spiked with mint
Kate Morton
Eleanor unpacked the picnic basket and spread Mrs. Stevenson's goodies across it. As the sun rose higher in the sky, the four of them ate ham sandwiches and Cox's Orange Pippins and far too much cake, washing it all down with fresh ginger beer. Edwina watched the proceedings imploringly, snaffling up each small tidbit as it came her way. But really, the heat for October was uncanny! Eleanor undid the small pearl buttons at her wrist, rolling her sleeves back once, and then twice, so they sat in neat pleats. A somnolence had come over her after lunch, and she lay back on the blanket. Closing her eyes, she could hear the girls bickering lazily over the last slice of cake, but her attention drifted, sailing beyond them to pick out the 'plink' of water as gleaming trout leapt in the stream, the thrum of hidden crickets on the rim of the woods, the warm rustling of leaves in the nearby orchard. Each sound was an exaggeration, as if a bewitching spell had been cast over this small patch of land, like something from a fairy tale, one of Mr. Llewellyn's stories from her childhood.
Roman Payne
Be there a picnic for the devil, an orgy for the satyr, and a wedding for the bride.
Lisa Kleypas
The indoor picnic had been laid out in an octagonal-shaped sunroom featuring an atrium set in the center of the stone floor. Here a "white garden" planted with white roses, snowy lilies, and silver magnolias gave off a delicious scent that drifted across the table laden with linen, crystal, and silver. The white linen cloth had been scattered with pink rose petals that matched the flowered Sevres china.
After we became a couple, she composed our time together. She planned days as if they were artistic events. One afternoon we went to Tybee Island for a picnic; we ate blueberries and drank champagne tinted with curacao and listened to Miles Davis, and when I asked the name of her perfume, she said it was L'Heure Bleue. She talked about 'perfect moments.' One such moment happened that afternoon; she'd been napping; I lay next to her, reading. She said, 'I'll always remember the sounds of the sea and of pages turning, and the smell of L'Heure Bleue. For me they signify love.
Lisa Kleypas
After Sims and the footmen had departed, Ethan sat with his back against the tree trunk and watched as Garrett unearthed a feast from the hampers. There were boiled eggs, plump olives, stalks of crisp green celery, jars of pickled carrots and cucumbers, sandwiches wrapped in paraffin paper, cold fried oyster-patties and wafer crackers, jars of finely chopped salads, a weighty round of white cheese, muslin-lined baskets filled with finger cakes and pastry biscuits, a steamed cabinet pudding left in its fluted stoneware mold, and a wide-mouthed glass bottle filled with stewed fruit.
I told her one of the few stories that she'd told me of myself as a child. We'd gone to a park by a lake. I was no older than two. Me, my father, and my mother. There was an enormous tree with branches so long and droopy that my father moved the picnic table from underneath it. He was always afraid of me getting crushed. My mother believed that kids had stronger bones than grownups. "There's more calcium in her forearm than in an entire dairy farm," she liked to say. That day, my mother had made roasted tomato and goat cheese sandwiches with salmon she'd smoked herself, and I ate, she said, double my weight of it. She was complimenting me when she said that. I always wondered if eating so much was my best way of complimenting her. The story went that all through lunch I kept pointing at a gaping hole in the tree, reaching for it, waving at it. My parents thought it was just that: a hole, one that had been filled with fall leaves, stiff and brown, by some kind of ferrety animal. But I wasn't satisfied with that explanation. I wouldn't give up. "What?" my father kept asking me. "What do you see?" I ate my sandwiches, drank my sparkling hibiscus drink, and refused to take my eyes off the hole. "It was as if you were flirting with it," my mother said, "the way you smiled and all." Finally, I squealed, "Butter fire!" Some honey upside-down cake went flying from my mouth. "Butter fire?" they asked me. "Butter fire?" "Butter fire!" I yelled, pointing, reaching, waving. They couldn't understand. There was nothing interesting about the leaves in the tree. They wondered if I'd seen a squirrel. "Chipmunk?" they asked. "Owl?" I shook my head fiercely. No. No. No. "Butter fire!" I screamed so loudly that I sent hundreds of the tightly packed monarchs that my parents had mistaken for leaves exploding in the air in an eruption of lava-colored flames. They went soaring wildly, first in a vibrating clump and then as tiny careening postage stamps, floating through the sky. They were proud of me that day, my parents. My father for my recognition of an animal so delicate and precious, and my mother because I'd used a food word, regardless of what I'd actually meant.
As a kid, I was taught that if you opened the Bible in the middle you'd probably land on the book of Psalms. And near the middle is everyone's favorite, the 23rd, there is this line: "You prepare a table before in the presence of my enemies." I don't know how many times I've read or recited this Psalm without pondering what that line actually means, but here is my take on it. When things are a bit tense, when life is not going at its best, when the potential for disaster is just around the corner, when your enemies are all around you - and even staring you down! - that's when God lays out the red-checkered picnic cloth and says, "Oooo, this is a nice place. Let's hang out here together for a while...just you and me.

One man's panic funds another's picnic.
Signor Renzo's lodge stood on a grassy knoll near the crest of the hill. It was a modest place, just a low stone hut, before which stretched a woven ceiling of vines. My dinner was cooked on an open fire by the table. This was no banquet, but what the cook called a pique-nique, a meal for hunters to take outdoors. After Renzo had chosen two fat ducklings from his larder, he spitted them over the fire. Then he made a dish of buttery rice crowned with speckled discs of truffle that tasted powerfully of God's own earth. 'Come sit with me,' I begged, for I did not like him to wait on me. So together we sat beneath the vines as I savored each morsel and guessed at the subtle flavorings. 'Wild garlic?' I asked, and he lifted his brows in surprise as he ate. 'And a herb,' I added, 'sage?' 'For a woman, you have excellent taste.' For a woman, indeed! I made a play of stabbing him with my knife. It was most pleasant to eat our pique-nique and drink the red wine, which they make so strong in that region that they call it black or nero. I asked him to speak of himself, and between a trial of little dishes of wild leaves, chestnut fritters, and raisin cake, Signor Renzo told me he was born in the city and had worked at a pastry's cook shop as a boy, where he soon discovered that good foods mixed with ingenious hands made people happy and free with their purses.

text: Just wondered if you have noticed all the rabbit hutches that you can see from the train window just before Limehouse (near the car racing thing). It is the left hand side windows you see them from as the train heads towards Fenchurch Street. There are two areas a little distance from each other full of hutches and I saw a bunny in one one morning, but usually can't see much as the train goes past quite fast! It seems weird to have them there because one yard definitely has no house attached to it.

So I received a bounty of ingredients from a friend recently, they work for a kitchen that was closing for a couple of weeks and they cleaned out their walk-in and just gave away the fresh food, as they would be bad before the kitchen reopened. So I am staring at a fridge full of heavy whipping cream, green onions, pears, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, and sour cream. What to do, what to do?
Sour cream is easy, goes in baking, mexican food, dips, etc. Everything else posed challenges to use up before it went south. Here's my adventure in Pears.
I have about 20 bosc pears. They are old enough to not look super pretty, but for the most part firm and crisp. In searching for inspiration, I came across "pear butter". As I am a fan of apple butter (growing up in New England it was very common), I'd thought I'd give pear butter a try. I ended up using this recipe that allowed me to use the crockpot. Summers are hot, and turning on the stove for a few hours needs to be avoided, as paying for the heating of the stove and the cooling of the house simultaneously makes me feel a little ill.
I followed the recipe, except I used allspice instead of pumpkin pie spice and used less sugar. I know it makes me weird, but I don't really like the pumpkin pie spice blend outside of pumpkin pie. It is soo distinctive in my head that it makes it immediately jump to pumpkin pie, which isn't what I was going for here. The sugar was really reduced to 1 cup. I just wanted the pear-ness of it all to come out, and I know that pear can be a delicate flavor. Also, shout-out to the author of the recipe , Tammi (I assume), she handled the haters on her comment page with a patience and civility I don't think I could match.
Score: Used up 10-11 pears, had a delicious and easy result!
After everything was cooled down, it was absolutely enchanting! But I still had pears left, so the saga continued.
The second pear recipe was a Pear Custard Pie. So easy and it worked well! Served as breakfast all week. The real star of this recipe is that you don't have to do a crust! The custard really does firm up and take care of itself. Also I love cooking in cast-iron, so this combined two things I like! As I pretty much can't follow a recipe exactly, I did add 1/2-1 more pear than the recipe required (I have a lot to use up!), but the custard did still nicely balance it all out.
Score: 4 more pears down, leaving me with 5.
The last recipe I found to use is a pear bread. I figured, well you can flavor those fruit breads with anything, so why not? I ended up using a recipe for Cardamom Pear Bread because that sounds absolutely yummy. And the picture (posted for your pleasure) just looks awesome.
So the recipe doesn't actually call for much pear usage (1 cup), but the pears had been sitting for a spell and by the time I peeled and cut off all the bits I didn't like, it used up most of the remainder. The 1.5 left were just kinda too soft (I hate mealy pears), so no big loss. This recipe I followed, but more like followed the spirit of. Now, I will caution you, if you are not an experienced baker, follow recipes! I have been baking since I was about 4-5 and so I frequently know the consistency of batters I'm going for, what can and cannot be substituted with impunity, and how to compensate for more/less of certain ingredients. I substituted all-purpose bleached flour (King Arthur) for the whole wheat pastry flour, 1/4 cup sugar for the 1/3 cup honey, 1 egg and a little meringue powder for the 1 egg+1 egg white suggested, and cut my pears up into slivers instead of shredding them. I also used some homemade lemoncello for the pear juice, as my fresh pears didn't have juice and I don't keep juice in the house.
My batter was a little thicker/tighter than I knew it needed to be. But I planned for that. I put 1/2 the batter into the pan, spread it well, then added about 1/4 cup of my pear jam. Swirled that around with a spoon, keeping away from the edges, then added the remainder of the batter, leveled it out, then added a few more spoonfuls (so exact, I know) to the top and swirled some more!
The bread cooked the same amount of time listed in the recipe and is moist and delicious. There was a little leakage of butter out here and there, but a quick run around the edges of the pan with a butter knife while it was still hot seemed to take care of it sticking to the sides. I didn't line my pan with parchment, because I don't like to and my loaf pan is non-stick, so I've never had problems with it sticking to the pan. If you are worried, add the parchment.
That's it! All done with pears. Let's see what I do with the rest of it! Or really hope what I do with the rest of it is interesting enough to warrant a post!

We are often warned about putting our eggs in one basket and when it comes to property it would seem that it is no longer the case that buy-to-let investments are the golden egg.
At one time property was seen as an easy way to generate income, with many expatriates investing in the UK homes market, considering it a fairly safe, long term way to quietly grow their wealth and income. As professional advisers, we often warn clients about the risks of illiquidity, cost, taxes, legislation change and the hassle involved with being a professional landlord, but the latest announcements come as a further blow to those intending on investing in property.It has been announced that from April 2016, stamp duty land tax (SDLT) will rise for those purchasing property to rent or buying a second home. The higher rates will be three percentage points above current SDLT. Now, a property valued at £175,000 – which could be termed typical for a residential landlord, stamp duty costs alone will be £5,250 more than a person buying their first home.
Property experts see this as potentially spelling the end to the buy-to-let industry. It comes in addition to the announcement that capital gains taxes (CGT) will be due within 30 days rather than at the end of the tax year from 2019. UK landlords will be further bitten by the fact they've recently found that higher and additional rate tax relief will no longer be allowed to be offset against their mortgage interest costs.
Before making any investment it is always wise to speak to an expert hence ensuring what seems to be a sure fire return on investment is just that, and not a fragile shell that can be broken.

We are mVirtual Card -- a new customer loyalty program. We have developed software that allows your customers to store loyalty points on their smartphones. While a lot of companies have entered this space we offer three benefits over the competition.
- Custom -- unlike other apps that put your store as part of a general loyalty program, we will customize the app to your specifications, making an app for you. After designing the app we will launch your app (again, not part of some general scheme) in the App Store and Google Play Market under your company name . For example, say you own Joe's Coffee Shop, when customers want to download your loyalty card app, they go to the App Store or Google Play Store and search for your app.
- Post Launch implementation-- Many times companies will launch their app -- either by themselves or through one of the "general" companies mentioned above -- and it will just sit there with no one downloading it. At mVirtual Card we realize that launching the app marks only the beginning of the relationship, and in order to make your loyalty program a success you will need to make sure your customers actually use your app. We have a lot of experience in "converting" these customers, and will tailor a unique program to make sure your customers use the app, which will in turn increase sales.
- Flexible Pricing Options -- We offer two pricing models, one that allows you to buy the app, and one that allows you to pay a monthly subscription fee. You know what your business needs, and we want to give you as many options as possible
Thanks for taking the time to read this introduction, and please don't hesitate to DM me for more information.

And this is a different kind of s'more. It's one that has all of the flavor of the classic campfire snack, with maybe a fraction of the mess! Ali Rosen, who wrote the new cookbook Bring It, came by
S'mores Bars
Much as I would like to, it's not practical to have a campfire in the middle of your home (we can dream though, right?). This dessert takes classic flavors and makes them portable. The s'mores bars are like condensed little campfire treats that are also pretty simple to make. I take the path of least resistance here: there's no premelting or overly complicated scenarios. Just layer the ingredients on top of one another, and leave carrying the firewood to someone else.
Makes 8 to 10 Servings
3 cups crushed graham crackers
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup salted butter, melted,
plus additional for the pan
1 egg, beaten
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups mini marshmallows
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking pan, approximately 13 x 9 inches.
Stir the crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, butter, and egg together until fully incorporated. Spread the mixture across the baking pan. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes, until the crust is firm.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips and marshmallows evenly over the crust. Return to the oven to bake for 10 more minutes, and then turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, making sure to brown but not burn the top.
Remove and allow to fully cool to at least room temperature. Cut into squares before serving.
How To Bring It
This dessert can be made up to 2 days ahead, covered and refrigerated, but try not to cut it until the day you are serving it. HEAD

"Canada can stall, litigate and mislead, but justice is coming whether it likes it or not."
Cindy Blackstock, Executive Director, First Nations Child and Family Caring Society
Off the Bookshelf
"The constant, obvious flattery, contrary to all evidence, of the people around him had brought him to the point that he no longer saw his contradictions, no longer conformed his actions and words to reality, logic, or even simple common sense, but was fully convinced that all his orders, however senseless, unjust, and inconsistent with each other, became sensible, just and consistent with each other only because he gave them."

Rankin Inlet, Nunavut – At approximately 10:25 pm on Saturday, November 15th, 2019. Rankin Inlet RCMP were dispatched to a report of an ATV driving at a high rate of speed, not stopping for stop signs and driving recklessly around town. The same ATV was also witnessed by Rankin By-Law Officers driving with three people on it, which exceeds the lawful limit of two riders.
RCMP immediately located the ATV and arrested the driver for impaired driving after failing the road side screening device.
A 20-year-old male from Rankin Inlet, NU is facing impaired driving related charges after he failed additional breath tests, where he blew over the legal limit. The driver is scheduled to appear in court date on February 10, 2020 in Rankin Inlet.
The Nunavut RCMP wish to remind the public of the dangers of impaired driving and the dire consequences that often result from operating a vehicle while impaired. The public should take note that the National Impaired Enforcement Day is scheduled for December 7th and check stops will be conducted throughout the territory.
