A Perfectly Elegant Pasta Dish
I'm a big fan of tattoos… both on others and on myself. In the best case scenario they are beautiful pieces of art work or meaningful sayings which someone has had etched onto their bodies as a permanent reminder. Of course, occasionally they can be downright horrible or hilarious mistakes. I think we've all seen those represented on different social media platforms… you know the ones "No Ragrets" or "Nowlege is Power" I love those… regardless they are a way of expressing oneself and that can be rendered meaningful in any number of funny or serious or just beautiful ways.
I have a number of tattoos, each of which means something special to me… well except one… that's a topic for another day. I spend a lot of time considering what I'm having permanently inked onto my body. It's never something I leap into (well except that one above mentioned time…) It's got to mean something very special to me, or remind me of something important. Each of my tattoos has been done for me and me alone. I never consult others before getting them (well except of course the actual tattoo artist). This to me is an important part of the process.
I'm sure you're wondering why I'm explaining all of this to you. It is simply to preface a brief story.
I had been considering a new tattoo. It had been on my mind for almost a year (which isn't uncommon for me to plan a tattoo for that long). It's a phrase and one that I continually mull over trying to determine if it truly means enough to me to have it placed on my body until, well until forever.
It was the funniest thing which helped me make my final decision. It became a living example of exactly how important the phrase is to me. Someone made a very rude and thoughtless comment to me… it truly bordered on flat out nasty and that it was utterly unprovoked and unnecessary really put a very sharp underline on it. I marched around my house for two solid hours after the comment had been made, thinking really uncharitable and mean thoughts. A few choices phrases may have been uttered aloud and they may or may not have included some very unladylike language. I wasted two hours of my life and to what end, I wondered until suddenly it dawned on me… this was exactly the thing that helped me to decide that it was time for my latest piece of artwork… and I feel a much better… much kinder and ultimately a happier person for it.
I now have a reminder to skip over the useless step of anger and resentment and think kind thoughts in their place… it leads to kind words and kind deeds. That's the sort of world I want to live in.
This story has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this pasta dish, but if you make it I think you will find kind thoughts coming your way from those you've served it to 🙂
A couple of quick notes on the preparation of this very easy and delicious dish… you'll notice in the recipe that I ask you to transfer the cooked pasta directly from the cooking liquid to the greens and garlic… feel free to drain it in a colander should you prefer but please don't rinse the pasta before adding it to the sauce.
There is only one time it's okay to rinse cooked pasta… nope that was a trick… it's never okay. You want those starches, they help the sauce stick to the pasta. This also explains why I ask you to use a cup or so of the cooking liquid. And finally, I suggest a splash of lemon juice to finish. I almost ALWAYS suggest a splash of lemon. I really like lemon, like to a sort of weird degree, I think it brightens most any dish, but do feel free to leave it out if you aren't similarly obsessed
Enjoy & Namaste!

AMA urges independent assessment of EHR program
The American Medical Association has called for an outside expert to evaluate the electronic health record incentive program and wait to strengthen qualification criteria until after doing so. Such an evaluation would identify "measures that make sense and can be reasonably achieved; functionalities that vendors can build into EHRs and the time frame required to build, test and fully implement these functionalities; and meaningful-use requirements that are reasonable for CMS and ONC to propose and pursue," wrote Dr. James Madara, AMA CEO and executive vice president.

FULL TEXT: A gentleman, who refused to give his name, called at the office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children early yesterday morning and told Assistant Superintendent Stocking that he knew of a case which, if not immediately attended to, would result in the death of two small children, 8 and 5 years respectively. He said he was walking through East Twelfth street on Wednesday afternoon when his attention was attracted by two children playing was attracted by two children playing in front of 641. One of the youngsters, a little girl, was covered with bruises, and both eyes were bloodshot. The other child, a boy, also showed evidence of bad treatment. The gentleman said that when he asked the boy who had beaten by her mother, but neither of the children seemed to be able to tell just why they had been whipped.
Mrs. Stocking sent Agent Becker to investigate. When Becker reached the house, which is a tenement, he found that he was expected. The family he was after live on the third floor, but the door to their apartments was locked. He knocked repeatedly, but there was no response, and, concluding that the rooms were empty, he left. Mr. Stocking on Wednesday evening sent Agent Schultes to the house. Instead of going direct to the apartments of the family, Schultes made inquiries among the neighbors and learned that everything about the children reported at the society's office was true.
He was told that the woman's name was Mrs. Rosana Hoffman, and that the two children were Rosana and Arthur.
The woman is the wife of a longshoreman who left her about four months ago. Since then the woman's apartments have become a resort for bad characters. The neighbors also said that she was continually beating them, and that the sound of the little ones' cries for mercy could be heard all times of the night.
After getting the history of the case, Schultes climbed the stairs and knocked on the door of Mrs. Hoffman's room. There was no answer, but Schultes know that some one was inside, for he could hear a woman's voice, cursing and laughing in turn. He could also hear two men singing. The door was locked. Schultes went down stairs, got into the rear yard, climbed up the stairs, got into the rear yard, climbed up the fire escape, and effected an entrance to the room through an open window. His sudden appearance somewhat startled the three roughs and the woman, who were drinking at a table. The two children were playing on the floor. Taking the little girl in his arms and the boy by the hand he left the den, amid the curses of the mother and her companions.
After placing the children in the care of a neighbor Schultes got two policemen and went back to arrest Mrs. Hoffman. The men in the mean time had gone away and the woman was alone.She refused to go with the officers and fought like a demon. It took the three to get her down stairs, and it was only after an hour's hard work that she was eventually locked up in the station house.
Yesterday morning both the children and the mother were in the Essex Market Police Court. The latter was sullen and absolutely refused to talk. Both the children are naturally pretty, although one would hardly think so to look at their bruised and scarred faces.
They were happy and contented in court, and chatted joyfully together. Their old clothes had been taken from them, and they were attired in clean and new suits furnished by the society. The little girl had quite a store of dimes and nickels, presents from the court officers, which she and her brother took great delight in counting. Little Arthur is an unusually bright child, and speaks German and English equally well. Half concealed by his soft yellow hair is an ugly scar across the forehead, which with the numberless other marks on his body, show the treatment he has been subjected to.
Rosana, however, is the one on whom the mother's work seems to have fallen the hardest. Her head and body are indescribable. There is hardly a spot of unbruised flesh on her whole body. Everywhere are long stripes, cuts and bruises, old scars, and black and blue marks. Both of her eyes are bloodshot and the flesh around them swollen. A close examination of her head shows old cuts innumerable under the hair. The society consider it one of the worst cases they have had for a long time.
Mrs. Hoffman is only 27 years old, and, despite the marks of dissipation on her face, is still a good-looking woman. Justice Tyan held her in $500 bond for her treatment of the boy. The children were taken to the society's headquarters, where they were seen later in the day by a Sun reporter.
"Who beat you?" was asked of the little girl.
"Mamma," was the reply. "She beat me with a great big stick, and she used to hit me with the stove hook too."
"What did she hit you for?"
"I don't know," said the little one. "She just hit me. She only did it when the bad men came, and they used to laugh. She laughed, too, but I didn't. I cried 'cause it hurt."
"Well, who hit Arthur?"
"Mamma hit him, too, but only when she was tired of hitting me. She didn't hit him with the fire hook. She took kindling wood and dug at his head with it. He cried awful, but mamma and the men only laughed more."
Little Arthur corroborated his sister's story, but could not tell why they were whipped. He said that his father was not a bad man, but said he went away because his mother had too many other men to see her.

Get up close on rare space center tours
By John Couwels, CNN • Updated 15th August 2012
View Gallery
5 Pictures
Wearing a floppy hat, 3-year-old Thor does his best rendition of a rocket launch countdown, "three, two, one, zero -- blast off" and jumps up in the air next to a Florida launchpad where NASA rockets have blasted off for more than 50 years.
Apollo missions took the first men to the moon, space shuttles carried the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station into space -- all on rockets taking off from two launchpads at Kennedy Space Center, an hour east of Orlando.
Thor, his twin brother, Espen, and his mother, Diane, are on a tour inside launchpad 39A's security fence at Kennedy -- something that has never been allowed in the history of the space center -- until now.
The Launch Pad Tour, introduced in July, is one of three new rare-access tours being offered this year to celebrate Kennedy Space Center's 50th anniversary. In addition to getting an up-close look at the launchpad, visitors can also tour the Vehicle Assembly Building and the Launch Control Center with a space expert guide.
"Are you a space nut or were you forced to accompany one?" a tour guide asks laughing guests on a bus taking them to the space center recently for one of the new tours.
Photos: Earth's otherworldy landscapes
Space nut or not, you'll be amazed by the size of the Vehicle Assembly Building -- or VAB, if you want to sound like a NASA aficionado. The rocket hanger is one of the largest enclosed spaces in the world. The 525-foot-tall building with the huge NASA logo and American flag painted on the side can be seen for miles on the ground and in the air -- look for it while flying over central Florida.
Built in the 1960s, the hanger was designed to handle the assembling of huge Saturn V rocket segments during the Apollo missions. Later the space shuttle program used the assembly building to attach the shuttles to a large orange external fuel tank and two white rockets used during launch.
Once inside the large cavernous building, look up to the ceiling where shuttle mission banners filled with the signatures of the personnel who worked on those missions hang from support beams.
As an added bonus, the shuttle Atlantis is parked inside the Vehicle Assembly Building just behind a fence only 25 feet away -- for now. The retired Atlantis is waiting to receive final preparations for public display.
"It's awesome to see it in real life," said Chris Finlay, 30, from New Castle, England, who was on vacation in Florida for three weeks. "It's not something you get to see every day."
Mars landing went 'flawlessly,' scientists say
NASA says Atlantis will be moved to a shuttle hanger on August 16 -- switching places with shuttle Endeavour, which will remain inside the assembly building until mid-September when it will be transported to the California Science Center in Los Angeles for permanent public display.
Atlantis will be back in the VAB briefly before it moves to its new permanent home at the visitor complex. Still under construction, the new facility is expected to open to the public in July 2013.
Next to the tall Vehicle Assembly Building is the much smaller Launch Control Center with large windows looking to the east toward the launchpad. The control center is open to visitors for the first in more than 30 years.
Control center tours visit Firing Room 4, where Apollo and shuttle managers directed launches.
"There's a lot of responsibility in this room. It's not just one person who launches a space shuttle," said tour guide Rob English, pointing to a photo of the launch room that describes how the team works together.
"You'll feel the energy when you walk in this room," said English as the security officer opened the door.
Mars images from NASA's "Curiosity" Rover
Inside, workstations line the room with labels for each position's area of responsibility on top -- from Main Engines to Electrical Systems. At the front, overlooking the room, is the workspace labeled Launch Director.
Don't expect to see a launch button. Computers have launched rockets for years, though managers can override them. Next to work spaces for the launch director and the public affairs officer are large windows overlooking the launchpad.
"This is the window on mankind's future right here," says English, the guide, as we look out toward the launchpads, which appear much closer than three miles from the control center.
During the Launch Pad Tour, guests step out of a bus inside the last high barbwire fence surrounding the launchpad. The massive jumble of metal service structures used during the shuttle program sit on top of a white concrete mound.
Bill Jackson, a middle school science teacher who just moved to Florida from St. Louis, was glad for the opportunity to see the space center up close.
"Finally getting to see all the things that I told the kids about and my own children about for 50 years ... it's amazing," said Jackson.
Searching for life on the moons of Jupiter
His friend Lila Steinhoff recalls watching launches as a girl on small black and white televisions.
"I'm seeing it in person. It's wonderful," said Steinhoff.
Jackson agreed, "It's better, you saw those grainy black and white pictures and something over Walter Cronkite's shoulder and now it's real."
The new tours are expected to run through the end of December 2012 and possibly into 2013. Each of the three tours costs an additional $25 for adults and $19 for children ages 3 to 11 beyond the entrance fee to the Kennedy Space Visitor Center, which is $45 for adults and $35 for children.

About SWITCH
Switch is a double accordeon book.
One folded accordeon binds front & back cover 2gether by glue.
The second is only attached to the front at the other side of the cover but not to the back.
This implies you can add pages to both accordeon folds.
So inside the book you have 2 books with several pages.
You can see them apart, as duos or triptychs even or mix the pages in between.
I owe the concept of this artist book to Lavona Sherarts (USA).
It was one of the many books she showed me how to make during my sabbatical in 1997.
I glued pages of different sizes and shapes in the folds of both accordeons to create a contrast. So pages show you also a glimpse of other pages that follow.
On these pages are asemics made with torn newspapers, pieces of brown envelopes and some greenish paper. On top of that are line drawings in black ink, except on a few that show you only the collaged papers.
This is a bit similar to my second collaboration with John Bennett but on a smaller size.
I am mailing this artist book (1/1) to Cheryl Penn in South Africa as an exchange for her free verse book. Her productivity and creativity in various forms of expression continues to surprise and delight me.

Brad Reifler: Forefront Capital CEO And Middle Class Investment Advisor
Brad Reifler believes there is opportunity for everyone to invest whether you're a big business owner and executive, or a regular middle class or blue collar worker. He believes one reason people don't look to invest is because the opportunities given to the top 1% of investors haven't been available for the other 99%, and many of the 99% have been given bad advice just like in the movie Money Monster.
According to Crunchbase, Brad Reifler knows in today's world you have to be careful where you invest, but he also believes that because people are able to find more information now than they were 20 years ago that there should be less regulations on where they can invest their money. Learn more about Brad Reifler: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/brad-reifler-forefront-capital-want-165445401.html
Brad Reifler says investing can be successful if it's done right, and he advises investors to heed some warnings before they invest their money into various funds. First he cautions that while the stock market can be a good option for investing, it should not be the only one because it can be a very volatile environment.
Second he says that investors need to do their homework on the company they want to invest with to see if it's had a good employee retention or a lot of turnover, and to make sure current and former investors have had a good experience with them. And finally he says investors need to have investment objectives and goals that they need to stay with until they reach them.
Brad Reifler started out primarily catering to the 1% crowd of investors. His first company was Reifler Trading Company, a fund management company that became one of the largest independent futures businesses prior to being sold to Refco.
Brad Reifler also started a private equity firm Pali Capital in 1995, and then founded Forefront Capital in 2009. He changed who Forefront Capital opened its doors to because of two personal experiences he had in investing.
Prior to starting his own companies, Reifler had tried to open a college savings fund in hopes that after many years it would be ready when for his daughters to attend college. But it did not do as well as Reifler had hoped. And then later he tried to invest his father's money into a retirement account, but he couldn't find a good fund to invest in because his father was unaccredited.
So in 2014 he opened Forefront Income Trust after consulting with the SEC, and he was able to lift regulations on non-accredited investors, and today anyone can invest in the fund for as little as $1,000.

Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are common conditions that cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. They affect joints and connective tissues around the body. Millions of people in the U.S. have some form of arthritis.
Arthritis means redness and swelling (inflammation) of a joint. A joint is where 2 or more bones meet. There are more than 100 different arthritis diseases. Rheumatic diseases include any condition that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones. Arthritis is usually ongoing (chronic).
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are more common in women than men. They are also often linked with old age. But they affect people of all ages.
The 2 most common forms of arthritis are:
Other forms of arthritis or related disorders include:
cause depends on the type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by the wear and tear of
the joint over time or because of overuse. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma
are caused by the body's immune system attacking the body's own tissues. Gout is caused
by the buildup of crystals in the joints. Some forms of arthritis can be linked to
genes. People with genetic marker HLA-B27 have a higher risk for ankylosing spondylitis.
For some other forms of arthritis, the cause is not known.
risk factors for arthritis that can't be changed include:
factors that may be changed include:
Each person's symptoms may vary. The most common symptoms include:
These symptoms can look like other health conditions. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider will take your medical history and give you a physical exam. Tests may also be done. These include blood tests such as:
Other tests may be done, such as:
Treatment will depend on your symptoms, your age, and your general health. It will also depend on how what type of arthritis you have, and how severe the condition is. A treatment plan is tailored to each person with his or her health care provider.
There is no cure for arthritis. The goal of treatment is often to limit pain and inflammation, and help ensure joint function. Treatment plans often use both short-term and long-term methods.
Short-term treatments include:
Long-term treatments include:
Arthritis treatment can include a team of healthcare providers, such as:
Because arthritis causes joints to worsen over time, it can cause disability. It can cause pain and movement problems. You may be less able to carry out normal daily activities and tasks.
There is no cure for arthritis. But it's important to help keep joints working by reducing pain and inflammation. Work on a treatment plan with your healthcare provider that includes medicine and therapy. Work on lifestyle changes that can improve your quality of life. Lifestyle changes include:
Call your provider if your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

Stockton, CA
William Keith Arthur
Aug. 26, 1953 - Jan. 19, 2014
William Keith Arthur passed away Sunday, January 19th, 2014. He was born on August 26th, 1953 in
San Francisco, California to loving parents Dr. William Charles Arthur and Alma Doris May
(Peters) Arthur. The family later moved to Stockton in 1956, where Keith was raised alongside siblings Karen, Charles, Cathy, Robert and Craig. He attended Lincoln High School, graduating in 1971, and thereafter became a proud student of the University of California Berkeley. After graduating as a rhetoric major, he went on to pursue a law degree from
Golden Gate Law School, which he received a semester early in December of 1979.
Upon his completion of law school, Keith returned to Stockton and became Deputy Public Defender for the San Joaquin County Public Defender Office, a position he held with fastidious devotion for thirty-three years. Keith represented misdemeanor clients in his early years, and for a small time taught philosophy at Humphreys College School of Law. He was assigned to juvenile court for a significant period of his career, but was widely recognized for his handling of felony cases - several of them high-profile. Praised for his outstanding work ethic and encompassing breadth of knowledge, Keith earned the respect and love of his cherished colleagues. His retirement in late 2013 marked the end of a wonderful career - one which he reflected upon with
utmost reverence.
His profound appreciation for literature and music fueled his astute and brilliant mind. He possessed an undeniable mastery of the culinary arts, a genuine concern for the environment and a boundless fascination with the cosmos. Weekends would be spent with
his beloved sons, Matthew and

Paint manufacturers Dutch Boy have created an app called Paintlist that suggests a colour palette based on the music you listen to.
Stuck on the right colour for a room? Well, Dutch Boy have you covered with their brand new app. The US paint manufacturers have created a smartphone app called Paintlist that suggests paint colours based on the users' favourite music. The said music can either be identified from what's already playing or taken from the user's own collection on their phone. According to the New York Times, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's "Autumn in New York" lead the app to suggest Perpetual Green for the walls and Glorious Glow and Silicon Valley for the trim. Interesting.
Download the app on the App Store and Google Play and try it for yourself (unfortunately, this is only open for US users. Damn).

Master Class: Northern European Art 1500-1700 from the Permanent Collection
Saturday, August 11, 2018Time

Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center Temporary Exhibition Galleries
Master Class: Northern European Art 1500–1700 from the Permanent Collection
Through September 2, 2018
Temporary Exhibitions Gallery
At Vassar College, Northern European art from the 1500s and 1600s has long been a vital part of the institution's art collection and curriculum. These parallel traditions intersect often, resulting in the use of original works in teaching German, Dutch, and Flemish art. This exhibition showcases Old Master holdings from Vassar's collection, primarily drawings and prints, by major artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Jan Brueghel I, Jan Lievens, and Rembrandt. While this impressive group of objects demonstrates the importance of teaching with original works of art at Vassar, it also relates to the broader history of Northern European art in the United States, as it developed from the nineteenth century to the present day. This exhibition has been organized in celebration of the career of Susan Donahue Kuretsky, Vassar Class of 1963 and Professor of Art. Support for the exhibition has been provided by the Smart Family Foundation.

I Love Bows
I love the rococo-esque bows on this 1888 evening gown by the House of Worth. It's always interesting to me to see designs on Victorian garments that would be quite at home 100 years earlier.
It's also interesting to me when I come across larger dresses, since mostly one sees dainty little waists. Who wore this dress? A lady of mature years perhaps?
And I love the pleats and bow at the hem!

Caroline, wonderful dress isn't it. So simple and yet sooooo elegant! I love bows, too. This dress was worn by Sally Hewitt or her mother Mrs. Abram Hewitt of New York. It is a Worth Gown. Sally was apparently very Rubenesque and collect textiles. Apparently, she is reported to have been enormous but amusing of the two sisters, but they both were of a size typical of that time, (1880)'s. We tend to forget that being Rubenesque or well rounded was not looked down on in those days. Thin and tall is a 20th century standard of beauty as you know. Anyway, I love this dress. It is featured in the book: The Opulent Era: Fashions of Worth, Doucet and Pingat. CheersReplyDeleteReplies

I have been trying to decide over the past couple of days what beers I will enjoy on christmas day. I have decided to go with a couple of bottles of Black Jack Porter from Left Hand Brewing Company for the main course which should be a good pairing with the beef Wellington we are having. I have decided to follow this with a bottle of Brooklyn Chocolate Stout with dessert, I have been saving this beer for a while and so I am really looking forward to it.
I suspect Santa might bring me a hamper of beer as well so I should have plenty of choice for the evening! I'll report back on how these beers go down.

Featured Landscape Coin Drops for 2006
Back to the main page of the Landscape Coin project.
Sculptural Installation with Three Figures, Route 395 NE of Alturas, Calif.
Coin Drop of the Month for May, 2006
Sculptural Installation with Three Figures, Route 395 NE of Alturas, Calif.
These three life-size figures really startled us as we whizzed past them at 60 miles per hour on Route 395. Naturally we turned right around and went back to examine them more closely. Because of the ditch by the shoulder of the road and the fencing that surrounded them, this was as close as we could get. They seemed to be stepping right out of a movie we want to see, but haven't, as they evoked both The Road Warrior and Robo-Cop in our minds, while being very different from the characters in either of those films. Each figure is inspiringly hand-made: the figure on the far left has a chest made from an old cash register; other parts are from motorcycles, typewriters, toasters, and engine cylinders (and everything else). This style of make is consistent with the world of yard-based folk art that is distributed regularly across North America. But most yard art engages themes that are fanciful but serene. These figures' unusual collective pose instead suggests a demonic army of the mechanical world, animated by a glee at coming alive, and perhaps a bloodlust for the living. At the same time, the figures are wielding patriotic flags that are in crisp condition, and that do not seem to be posed ironically. The red flag carried by the motorcycle-riding figure is a standard of the U.S. Marine Corps. The figures are positioned facing the road in a stance that suggests they are moments away from tearing onto the road and into the path of oncoming traffic.
The figures were so well done that we paused on the isolated stretch of road and observed them for several minutes. There were no buildings nearby. The figures were carefully enclosed by protective fencing, and were unmarked by any kind of attribution or artists' statement. After a while the ticklish contradictions of the installation began to sink in: Is it making a patriotic statement? Hard to believe otherwise, out in rural, relatively socially conservative northeast California. And yet its very nature suggests an aesthetic of critique: a comment on the dehumanizing/dehumanized nature of armed conflict. In a different setting I would assume it to be a strong anti-war comment piece. Interesting that its setting here in the bucolic Modoc County countryside has such a determining effect on our perception of the installation as probably pro-military. But even more interesting is that whoever made the sculptures, no matter what his or her feelings are being expressed about the military, expressed those feelings in a style that lies far outside mainstream aesthetic sensibilities. It was an exciting find. The coin was tossed into the grass at the feet of the figure wielding the American flag. --MSP

Occupy Wall Street's focus on disparity hits nerve
At a congressional hearing Wednesday, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke was asked what he thought of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Bernanke replied: "Like everyone else, I'm dissatisfied with what the economy's doing right now. They blame, with some justification, the problems in the financial sector for getting us into this mess, and they're dissatisfied with the policy response here in Washington. And at some level, I can't blame them."
Bernanke for leader, or at least spokesman, for the Occupy Wall Street movement? Probably not. Standing outside the Federal Reserve Bank building on Market Street on Friday, a member of the Occupy SF group - one of innumerable local offshoots - was carrying a sign that read "End the Fed."
Still, Bernanke's statement hit the nail on the head as to why the movement appears to resonate beyond a still relatively small band of activists. "I have some sympathy for them," said one San Francisco executive, whose salary probably puts him closer to the "1 percent" of Americans in terms of wealth than the "99 percent" the movement purports to represent. "What the banks have done, what the government allowed them to do. ... The kids (have) few careers to look forward to. I say go for it, man."
The Occupy Wall Street movement - the brainchild, oddly enough, of a Canadian magazine called Adbusters - took off three weeks ago when a few dozen demonstrators occupied a New York City park. The numbers grew, as did the organization, and drew closer media attention last weekend when a march to the Brooklyn Bridge was blocked by police, with clashes ensuing and 700 marchers arrested.
Since then groups have sprung up in dozens of cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles. Hundreds of college students, primarily on the East Coast, have walked out of classes to join the protesters. On Wednesday, the AFL-CIO's executive committee endorsed the movement, and a number of unions joined up with Occupy Wall Street in a march from the occupied Zuccotti Park to Foley Square near New York's City Hall.
On Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, gave the movement a ringing endorsement. "God bless them for their spontaneity," she said. President Obama, somewhat more gingerly, said the "protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works," and went on to defend the much-criticized Dodd-Frank financial legislation.
In fact, the movement's sometimes inchoate demands - ranging from ending capital punishment, "corporate censorship," war in general and "American imperialism" - go far beyond what Pelosi and Obama might imagine.
Some observers doubt the movement has much staying power. But given the state of the economy, "the protests are hardly surprising," said Ken Scott of the Hoover Institution, an expert on corporate finance. "The restoration of household and business confidence will come about at some point, and then the protests will fade away."
For now, the movement's emphasis on income inequality and the financial industry's misdeeds has hit a broader nerve.
"One of the most striking developments of the U.S. economy is how the top 1 percent has pulled away from the bottom 99 percent," said Emmanuel Saez, UC Berkeley's award-winning economist whose studies have found the nation's income gap to be the widest since 1928 and the largest in the advanced industrial world.
Until the Occupy Wall Street movement came along, little attention was being paid to the issue. At the same time, the unemployment numbers and other distressing statistics roll out with a numbing continuity. The Pew Research Center reported last week that the number of Americans living in multigenerational households (i.e., with their parents) in 2009 reached 4.9 million, the highest since 1940. It is reasonably safe to assume the numbers are even higher in 2011.
"All of a sudden, you get a sense of what is going on," said UC Berkeley Professor Harley Shaiken, a labor economist who teaches globalization and other subjects. While still an occasion for joy, college graduation also has become "a time of apprehension and fear of the future for many, a fear that is absolutely justified," he said.
In the other universe, meanwhile, the board of directors of Hewlett-Packard gave fired CEO Léo Apotheker a $25 million exit package last month after just 11 months on the job.
That could have been an example of what former Republican Commerce Secretary and Blackstone Group co-founder Pete Peterson wrote about in 2009. "In my more than 50 years in business, I cannot recall a time when there were so many daunting national challenges, with business engagement so lacking," he said.
Could that be changing? Warren Buffett's call on the government to stop "coddling" the superrich and tax them a little more appears to be gaining some traction. He's been joined recently by a Bay Area group called Patriotic Millionaires, who wrote an open letter urging Washington leaders to increase taxes on incomes above $1 million "for the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens."
Signatories include William Jurika of San Francisco investment advisory firm Jurika, Mills & Keifer; Wayne Jordan of San Francisco's Jordan Real Estate Investments; and Susie Tompkins Buell, co-founder of Esprit (yes, Obama supporters all).
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz's campaign to withhold pledges from political campaigns until "our elected leaders face our nation's long-term fiscal challenges with civility, honesty and a willingness to sacrifice" has attracted almost 23,000 signatories. Last week he kicked off Create Jobs for USA, donating $5 million to a national community funding organization. As of Friday, his website recorded 3,226 "pledges to hire."
Tokenism? Guilt money? Corporate tin-cupping? Maybe, but at least they, along with the Wall Street occupiers, appear to be trying to do something, and for very much the same reasons.
Whether the combination of voices will make a difference is another matter.

Tummies get ready to rumble
Perth has always been neglected on the gastronomic map of Australia - and to be completely honest, this has not been without good reason. For too long, this sleepy city has produced an alarmingly large proportion of poorly conceptualised restaurants which underwhelm in service and food but overwhelm in price and lack of interest.
But things are changing - and slowly the city is beginning to awaken from the culinary comatose that has plagued it for much too long. Talented chefs and artisanal food stores are injecting the much needed adrenaline into the veins of Perth's food scene, and with it, energising the people who live in it with the realisation that this city also has much to offer.
And whilst I am under no delusion that Perth has a long way to go in achieving the same food culture that is so prevalent in sister cities like Melbourne... I remain hopeful. So it is with much excitement that I await the arrival of the Good Food and Wine Show right here in my adopted city.
In its third year here in Perth, the event will showcase over 150 food, wine and beverage exhibitors. Of course, a definite huge draw card to the show is also the celebrity chefs that will be "performing" cooking demonstrations over the 3 day event. I say "performing" in inverted commas because whilst I am excited at the prospect of seeing Gary Mehigan, George Colombaris (both of Masterchef fame) and Matt Moran whip up culinary delights with hopefully a bit of humour and wit thrown in, other segment descriptions have already started to make me cringe.
Take Manu Feildel's "Spinning plates" segment - "He is the fun, feisty, fancy Frenchman from My Kitchen Rules, now see him juggling his culinary skills with his circus skills." So he's going to be spinning plates whilst cooking up a meal at the same time... right... NEXT!
Nevertheless, events like the Good Food and Wine Show are well worth supporting... afterall, it's publicity that leads to interest... interest that leads to awareness... and awareness that ultimately leads to choosing and demanding the right food direction for this city.
In Perth July 2-4

What's hot in celebrity hair these days? It's headbands. Wide, thick, one-tone color headbands are being worn by celebs everywhere. Headbands are a quick way to make yourself look polished and put together without seeming stuffy. With a wide array of colors and prints available, headbands can be matched to any outfit.
Headbands have really become popular due to the rise of the young star Leighton Meester from television's hot drama Gossip Girl. Meester has become a fashion icon and routinely pairs her gorgeous attire with satin headpieces.
Another great plus about headbands –they can hide bangs. So if you're in that awkward hair stage where you are trying to grow out your bangs, but they haven't quite reached a good length yet, pull them back in a headband.

During an annual custom-build event lead by Chuck Johnson of Apple Music, the customer chose the classic C25 body shape built with a redwood top and walnut back and sides. To highlight the fine wood attributes of the instrument, he chose a maple binding with an abalone purfling on the top of the guitar and the fingerboard. The look was completed with the iconic Northwest Totem inlay on the fingerboard.
Concert Body
The Concert is our most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.
Top – Redwood
Redwood, sequoia sempervirens, originates in the coastal mountains of Northern California. Redwood is a dark, beautiful top wood favored by fingerstyle players who appreciate clear upper harmonic content. Sinker redwood comes from logs that were submerged in an oxygen-free environment, in the bottom of lakes or ocean waters, yielding darker, more striped, and often stiffer and lighter wood. The tone is bold, punchy, and crisp, with rich, strong overtones. It sounds like a cross between spruce and cedar. Coloration can range from a light pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown.
Back/Sides – Walnut
Walnut, juglans hindii, has a very even response curve. From the dramatic curly figure of claro walnut to the straight grain of black walnut, this tonewood offers a strong clear fundamental, with clear harmonics. First discovered by the English Botanist Richard B. Hinds in the Sacramento Valley, it is the favorite wood of many luthiers and has been described as "the mahogany of the rich." With tight lows, strong mids, with fat, even treble tones and lots of sustain; it is warm and earthy with the overtone depth of rosewood the clarity of mahogany. Brighter than mahogany, but not quite as bright as maple. Coloration varies from black and orange contrasts to the usual chocolate walnut tones.

This calf support is part of the Copper Skin:Z by Trion:Z range of easy wear garments which harness the natural properties found in copper.
The unique copper fabric provides an enhanced natural compression and recovery, and incorporates proven high levels of antibacterial resistance.
The optimum compression provided by the support reduces muscle fatigue, brought on by muscle vibration, by promoting lactic acid removal, which relieves and reduces muscle soreness, stiffness and discomfort.
The high percentages of embedded copper fibres in its composition mean that the copper effect will not dissipate after washing and will remain as part of the garment for its lifetime.
The ultra-light nylon material provides a 'second-skin' feel for all-day wear, while it is also ultra-absorbent and quick-drying, wicking away sweat and moisture for optimum comfort.
To ensure a perfect fit, please measure the circumference of your calf at the thickest point.
Copper has been used for centuries to stimulate circulation. The purpose of the Copper Skin:Z range is to aid in the relief and ease of muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting oxygen through the bloodstream to the affected muscles and joints. It achieves this by using body mapping technology aimed at maintaining warmth, stimulating circulation, reducing muscle fatigue and aiding in recovery.
The technically woven fabric allows for 100% flex, matching and mirroring the body's natural range of movement, and its four-way dimension stretch gives exceptional elasticity, which gently supports muscles and joints.
This support has been designed and sculpted to the areas of your calf often under the greatest pressure during exercise.

No High School Grads Need Apply: As Wall Street firms demand more college graduates, trading has be
Story Utilities
Also in this article
- No High School Grads Need Apply: As Wall Street firms demand more college graduates, trading has be
- Page 2
Are traders born or bred? According to industry pros, it's both.
A generation ago many traders only had high school degrees. They worked their way up the Street, starting out as messengers or in the mailroom.
Today, the typical young trader has at least an undergraduate degree and strong computer skills. An increasing number of pros have advanced business degrees in economics or finance. Some even have doctorates.
Still, as Jack D. Schwager, who interviewed dozens of traders over the past several years for his "market wizards" book series found, the key to becoming a successful trader is gaining lots of on-the-job experience, regardless of educational credentials.
As one veteran trader told Schwager in his latest book, "Stock Market Wizards: Interviews with America's Stock Traders" (HarperCollins), "You can't expect to become a doctor or an attorney overnight, and trading is no different."
For Aldo Parcesepe, "having a college education today is important, yet it's not as important as applying yourself." Parcesepe, who began his career some 30 years ago in the order room, added, "I think traders become good traders if they have a passion for the job."
Traders must have the ability to make split-second decisions and know how to anticipate the changing forces of supply and demand. Most head traders agree that a college education, especially a business or finance background, can mentally fine-tune a pro in assessing the barrage of information that comes across the trading desk.
"When I started in the 1960s having a college education was not a prerequisite to getting a [trading] job," said E.E. "Buzzy" Geduld, president and chief executive of Herzog Heine Geduld, a Merrill Lynch company, in Jersey City. "That's all changed. Nowadays, at a minimum one has to have a college education. We wouldn't even think of interviewing someone without a college degree."
Jim Toes, a director of Nasdaq trading at Merrill Lynch and president of the Security Traders Association of New York, said that when he started about 15 years ago he was one of the few traders who had a college degree on his desk.
Business school graduates are no longer thumbing their noses at trading. In fact, at many business schools today, becoming a trader is now considered a prized career.
"Years ago students who had MBAs from better schools only wanted to get into corporate finance and M&A," Geduld said. "Today, we are finding that the best schools in the country have candidates who would love to get into sales and trading. Trading has become a much sought after occupation."
Art Form
To be sure, a college education, whether it's an undergraduate degree in finance or an MBA, can only accomplish so much. "Trading is an art form," Parcesepe said. "The more experience you have with gauging the real supply and demand structure the better you get at it."

BERLIN (Reuters) - Roman Polanski's new movie "The Ghost Writer" premiers on Friday at the Berlin film festival, but the director will be staying at home in Switzerland because of a sex case dating back more than 30 years.
Interest in the political thriller starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan has been ramped up since the 76-year-old Oscar winner was arrested in Switzerland in September forcing him to stay away from the prestigious event.
Polanski was involved in post-production on the film while in prison and when he was moved to a chalet in Gstaad under house arrest was still adding the finishing touches.
Robert Harris, whose novel forms the basis of the plot, hopes the movie will be judged on its merits alone, despite the intense media interest in Polanski's legal tussle with the United States over the under-age sex case.
"Of course it is a very unforeseen and distressing situation to offer a film to the public without its director," Harris told the Hollywood Reporter.
"Showing it without him is a bit like having Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark. But in a way, it is the best riposte to just show his work. That cannot be confined or silenced. I hope people will see beyond the controversy to the film itself."
Polanski, who made classics like "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" and won an Academy Award for "The Pianist," pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl but fled the United States on the eve of his 1978 sentencing.
He has said he feared the judge would renege on an agreement to sentence him to 42 days he had already served behind bars.
Polanski's decision to flee made making movies particularly difficult, with the French-Polish director unable to travel to Hollywood or Britain. In a London libel case in 2005, he was allowed to give evidence in court via video link from France.
Should Switzerland decide to extradite him to the United States, Polanski could spend up to a year in court appealing. The Swiss justice ministry has said it will decide on extradition early in 2010. While Polanski's longer-term future is uncertain, his immediate concern is likely to be how The Ghost Writer, made with a budget reported to be around $45 million, is received.
McGregor plays a writer hired to write the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang (Brosnan), who is accused of authorizing the seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over to the CIA to be tortured, constituting a war crime.
The writer stumbles across clues linking his employer with the CIA, and faces a life-and-death struggle to find the truth.
The storyline has inevitably led to comparisons between Lang and real former Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose decision to send in troops in 2003 made him unpopular with many voters, who said he had deceived them about the reasons for invasion.

Now, I'm willing to bet that a handful of you readers have partaken of online poker or some other kind of online wagering. While I don't gamble very much, I do make a nice income from other people's gambling activities.
Internet gambling is currently, and always has been, illegal in the U.S. But a slew of online gaming companies — some who are publically traded, such as online poker giant Party Gaming — have met the public's desire for online gambling to the tune of $12 billion a year, much of it from U.S. customers.
Instead of legalizing, regulating and collecting taxes from online gambling, people like Virginia representatives Bob Goodlatte and Rick Boucher seek to criminalize it — a futile task considering that all online gambling companies do business outside of the U.S. where their activities are perfectly legal. Not to mention that this proposed legislation could conflict with a WTO decision that declared U.S. prohibitions on internet gambling as an unfair trade practice.
But let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth: "For too long our children have been placed in harm's way as online gambling has been permitted to flourish into a $12 billion industry," Goodlatte said in a statement. Hey, Bob? Kids don't gamble; adults do. You're basically telling adults what they shouldn't do with their money in the privacy of their homes, in the name of "protecting the children." Bullshit, Bob.
"These Internet gambling websites typically operate offshore and often serve as a prime vehicle for money laundering and other criminal enterprises." Proof? Like I said, most online gaming companies are as reputable as Vegas casinos. They operate under the jurisdiction of their localities and international gaming authorities, and their random number generators are regularly audited by well-known accounting firms. By criminalizing them, you only make these unsavory activities more likely.
This isn't the first time this bill has been introduced. It was voted down in 1999, due partly to the efforts of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. But even with Jack out of the picture, I think it's unlikely this thing is going to become law, since it's largely unenforcable and will do little to stop online gambling.

And Adin of It's Sewtastic, Mama for her email dated April 13, 2011:
|Inday's baby enjoying ensaymada
Hello there Manang,
My name is Adin Blankenship and I am a Pinay in Kansas. I have been your follower for quite a long while now and the other day, the prego in me was craving for some really soft Ensaymada that I knew I can find the recipe in your website. I gave it a try using my new breadmaker and it turned out really well. It soft and moist and just delicious! Thank you so much! I have attached some photos of the ensaymada I made and my little boy who loves it a lot. He could not wait to eat them even the unbaked once. When I turned my back on him, he was trying to eat some of the unbaked dough and thought it was good. hahaha.. Silly kid!
Later on, I will be able to share it to my blog and have your link posted as well. My friends have been asking me of the recipe and I gave them your link because I know you would love for them to visit your site than just giving the recipe. :)
Thank you again,
Adin B
From Teresa's email dated June 25,
Dear Manang,
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It's easy to understand and follow . Texture and appearance-wise (in and out), the cupcakes came out perfectly nice; taste-wise, I guess, there's something missing, I just couldn't put my finger in it. I'll keep on tweaking it or continue researching and trying on other recipes and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to figure it out.
Thanks again,
Orlando, Florida
From Reena who sent me an email on July 25th --
Hi Manang,
Thanks sa recipe ng hopia. This is the first trial of hopia :-)
My husband (Czech national) likes the hopia dough, super thanks po.
Actually, hindi na talaga ko makahintay na makapunta kami sa Asian Market.
Kaya ang ginamit ko na fillings ay 'kidney beans' in can, it has salt and sugar already pero syempre its more salty.
Anyway, i mashed it first and cooked with 1/2 cup of fresh milk, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk.
I really want to make it sweet kase salty un kidney beans.
Halo to the max for 30-45 minutes, hanggang maging dry...
Nkagawa naman ako... Next, i will use yellow mung beans (kase nka kita na ko sa Asian Market)
Thank you so much...
And lastly from Jimema McA:
Hello Manang,
Nais kung magpasalamat sa mga reciping binahagi mo sa iyong blog site.People like you encourages me to keep trying in the kitchen.I tried two of your recipe's and both of them came out good.I'm also married to a very fussy American husband,and when I made the ensaymada he asked me if I can top one with butter,cinnamon and sugar. To my surprised he ate the whole piece of ensaymada.It was the size as a saucer plate. And the choco-flan cake is excellent.
Once again Thank you so much and I'll be checking your blog more often.

Bits and Pieces
I bought two packs of blank greetings cards when we were in New York - and also these cute stickers - I'm a sucker for pretty stationery. The shops we went to were amazing...so much choice...you could easily spend €€€€ in them...shortly I'll write up about my second wool-shopping experience but I wanted to post these photos first.
This is my order for Jaye, my lovely customer (& friend) in England - five matching hats (all made in Rowan's superfine merino dk) and then also two cotton shower mitts and a pair of crocodile stitch wrist warmers. :)
I brought over some wool and my hooks to America but I didn't get much crochet done at all - just the flowers for Jaye's hat order and a tiny part of these wrist warmers (above) -- we were either on the go so much or else I was too tired to crochet! I had brought along my felt-tip pens and a colouring book that my sister had given me for Christmas, so that kept me occupied on the plane (when it wasn't bumpy!) and in the hotel in the evenings.
Right now I'm working my way through some of my more fine yarns - these two pairs are made in Schoppel's 'Zauberball 100' which is 100% merino wool and is a sock yarn.
I'm half way through a pair in shades of blues and purples too (sneak peek photo!)
and then after that I've got a green yarn lined up, it's also Schoppel's 'Zauberball' but this one is 75% merino and 25% nylon.
I quite often go through 'phases' of using similar yarns or making the same items over and over (e.g. how I was just making hats last month) - I think you get used to the feel of the same size hook -- it always kinds of disorientates me when I switch from using, say, a 3mm hook on a pair of wrist warmers, to then using a 6mm hook for a hat.
Barbara the artist has very kindly commissioned me to make the hats for her annual artists' retreat again - so I've ordered a great big 2kg of Studio Donegal's aran tweed wool from Springwools.
This is the colour she's selected for this year - it's rather unimaginatively called 'black/grey/beige' but it's gorgeous. I really love the depth of colour that they put in their aran wool through the little tweedy flecks.
The artists' retreat isn't til the middle of June so I have plenty of time yet - I've got to wind out the wool from the cone first. At the moment the order is for 7 hats for the male artists and 6 flower headbands for the female artists...I'm looking forward to doing the headbands, it'll be a nice change and I always like making crochet flowers :)

With the theme, "Changing Lives for a Changing World," McDaniel College will install its ninth president, Roger N. Casey, in an inauguration ceremony at 2:30 p.m. April 16 in Gill Learning Center. An all-campus reception will follow on the lawn in front of Gill.
National and local dignitaries, including state Sen. Edward J. Kasemeyer '67, Westminster City Mayor Kevin R. Utz, Phi Beta Kappa Society Secretary John Churchill and McDaniel College Alumni Association President-elect Sally F. Stanfield '78, will deliver remarks during the ceremony. Special remarks from faculty will come from college librarian Jane F. Sharpe, Lazlo Frenyo, dean at McDaniel Budapest, and Richard Carpenter, professor of Exercise Science and Physical Education.
"The theme rises from President Casey's desire to celebrate contributions of McDaniel students, faculty and alumni – locally and globally – and how they have been changing and helping change lives over the years," said Mohamed Esa, professor of German and chair of the Department of Foreign Languages.
President Casey has declared the week starting April 9 as Inauguration Week and a time to celebrate McDaniel's mission and meaningful contributions of our students, faculty, staff and alumni to take charge of their lives and engage locally, nationally and globally for the common good.
Highlights of the week include a "Day of Community Service," which kicks off the week at 9 a.m. April 9; a gala Inauguration Concert at 7 p.m. April 10 in Baker Memorial Chapel; and "American Education in the 21st Century: Achievement, Accountability and Apprehension," a discussion forum including national and local education experts at 7:30 p.m. April 12 in Decker Center Forum.
"Part of this whole process is to bring together lots of people into the academic community, both off and on campus," said James Lightner, college historian and chair of the Inauguration. "It enables us to think about ourselves, to celebrate ourselves and to share our enthusiasm with the larger community around us."

I'm so ready for spring!
This is a little spring display on my entry way table using a cloche from Pier 1 Imports. I added nests, birds, vines and moss balls to complete the vignette.
This is very easy to make. The hardest part is getting that nest to sit just right inside the cloche!
Happy Spring decorating!

The Farm Bill that passed the Senate last week has a little bit in it for everybody, save families who use food stamps.
The Farm Bill that passed the Senate last week has a little bit in it for everybody, save families who use food stamps.
Food stamp funding would drop about 5 percent if the bill becomes law, and food stamp funds account for about $4 out of every $5 of the $100 billion annual bill.
For farmers, though, some came out winners; some came out losers; some will ultimately probably come out about even.
The bill�s framers, it appears, sought to level the playing field between Southern row crop farmers and most every other agriculture sector � except for the sugar industry, which retained its niche subsidies. Whoever runs the sugar lobby needs a raise, because those folks are doing a heckuva job.
What does the bill mean for Arkansas farmers? Maybe a net gain, but we won�t fully know until the House passes a bill and a conference committee hammers out a compromise. But under the Senate bill, the state�s farmers will lose direct payments, price supports in case commodity prices fall below a certain level. That safety net guaranteed farmers a floor price for rice, soybeans, corn, etc. But as most farmers would acknowledge, commodity prices haven�t been near that floor in a while, and there�s little to believe that prices would fall to the floor anytime in the near future.
There is a flip side to the commodity prices of the past few years. The cost of putting in a crop has skyrocketed. Fuel costs more. Fertilizer costs are ridiculously high and John Deere doesn�t give away those shiny green tractors and combines.
On the positive side, federal crop insurance (for catastrophic crop failures) will get a boost. The amount farmers pay in premiums will go down, and that�s money back in their pocket. They will have to adhere to certain guidelines, but the vast majority of the state�s farmers already do the right things. Those who will be hurt by the crop insurance changes are those who abuse the system, and there are a few who do.
Plus, insurance payments will phase down for farms with a gross income of more than $750,000, which will affect some �family� farms but will hit the �corporate� farms harder.
The crop insurance portion of the bill is more important in states such as Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and others because many farmers in those locales can�t or don�t irrigate their crops. A dry month at the wrong time can, indeed, cause a catastrophic crop failure. In Arkansas, though, most soybeans, corn and milo get watered a time or three each summer, thereby nearly guaranteeing a crop worth harvesting in the fall.
One other group of Arkansas farmers � though the term should be �ranchers� actually since we�re talking about animals and not plants � who lost a round in this bill are those who raise catfish. Sen. Mark Pryor had pushed to have the Department of Agriculture control catfish inspections. This is a hot topic because imported fish from Asia are directly competing with homegrown, pond-raised, corn-fed catfish. If you didn�t know about the Great Catfish War, you�ve been missing out on a heated battle.
Who won this round of the every-five-year argument over the Farm Bill? Farmers in the Midwest and Upper Midwest. They are getting a more level playing field when it comes to government assistance.
This day of reckoning has been coming for some time. Southern farmers have been losing clout in Congress over the years, and each time the Farm Bill has come up for reconsideration, the tradeoffs have gone more and more the way of farmers in other parts of the country.
Wonder how that might have changed had a certain chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee not lost her re-election bid in 2010?

RHW's first Eye of the Day!
I'm sorry it took so long guys, but photographing your own eyes is quite difficult. I'm still just getting use to my camera, and while I was taking these I figured out that the flash is brighter on one side than the other -.-. These pictures are pretty true to color, or at least the best I could do. My skin looks like its two different colors but I promise, its just the lighting.
Natural Light
Its just a quiet Friday night here at RHW headquarters. I was feeling kinda blue lately and I thought some cheery color would brighten me up. Turns out the color ended up being more moody. Please excuse the sloppy lashes, my mascara really should be binned. All camera, editing, and lash issues aside, this is still a semi-decent look and i really was in the mood to put something up. Bear with me guys, it'll get better.
Hope all is well on your end guys, as always it was nice talking to you.

Cats have nothing only Offaly on minds
The injury concerns may be mounting in the Kilkenny camp, but the National Hurling League champions won't let them get them down.
There is a deadly serious championship challenge coming up against Offaly in Nowlan Park on June 7, and nothing, absolutely nothing will get in Kilkenny's way of being 100% ready for a match that could explode in their face if they were not ready.
"We saw what Offaly were capable of last year," Kilkenny manager, Brian Cody, offered when he spoke after a satisfying work-out against Clare in a challenge game on Sunday.
"Offaly are potential destroyers as far as we are concerned," the James Stephens clubman added. "They are serious opposition.
"We will approach the game in a massively serious way. They slaughtered us in lots of ways when we played them in the championship in Tullamore last year. They were hugely impressive at under-21 level last year as well.
"They are the next opposition and we will prepare properly for them. That is it. We got a warning last year.
"It is the Leinster championship. There is no room for anything other than total concentration on the next match, which is against Offaly."
Issues like the injuries suffered by Henry Shefflin (stress fracture) and Richie Power (hamstring) the week before last, and Michael Fennelly (muscle strain) and Eoin Murphy (concussion) at the weekend may be uppermost in the minds of fans, but the panel will carry on regardless.
Injured players will be placed in the care of professionals, who will guide them through the medical processes on the road to recovery, but the rest of the panel will get down to work in Nowlan Park.
"Injured players will be dealt with by the people in that area," Mr Cody explained when asked how such knocks affected the squad. "There is no point in feeling sorry for yourself. It is all part and parcel of the game. It is something that could happen to any team."
He revealed that Shefflin will be visiting a specialist shortly for an update on his injury, and he was hopeful that "it will be short term stuff".
Power was in the care of the team doctor and physio, and he expressed the wish that the Carrickshock man would be back soon, although sources suggest it could be a minimum of six weeks.
The clash with All-Ireland champions, Clare, on Sunday evening to mark the official opening of James Stephens new grounds on the Kells Road was more than a mere friendly as far as Mr Cody and his fellow selectors, Michael Dempsey, Derek Lyng and James McGarry were concerned.
"That was the start of our championship preparations," Mr Cody insisted after a contest that was played out in constant rain on an expansive pitch that made the players work to earn their keep.
"It was great to get the match," Mr Cody added. "The championship is coming up quickly now, so that was a huge part of our preparations for it. It was a very different test.
"Clare play a different game, surely. They test you. It was a great game to get. It was a fine open pitch. There is a lot of ground to be covered. The match went well for us. I was very pleased.
"Now we just train," he said when he looked ahead. "We haven't an awful lot of time for training. We will get in a few quality training sessions and that is all we can do."
However, he admitted that Kilkenny weren't in a "bad place" after the League final win as they head into a championship that will bring huge challenges.
Last year the Cats failed to quality for the Leinster final. They didn't play in Croke Park at all, and they missed out on the All-Ireland series for the first time in 16 years.
By Kilkenny standards of recent times, it was a poor championship.
Cody made no bold predictions. He admitted that Kilkenny were in a better place than they were this time 12 months ago.
"The championship is only starting," he said. "What we have done, we are happy with. Now we push on and prepare properly for everything else."
The new James Stephens facilities were opened officially by GAA President, Liam O'Neill and the blessing was by St Patrick's PP, Fr Dan Carroll. A plaque marking the occasion was unveiled to a fanfare provided by St Patrick's brass band.
"We cannot thank enough those who led the wonderful fund-raising efforts, often during dark financial times," said club chairman, Tommy Lanigan. "We appreciate the hard work and generosity of so many people who love The Village, their parish and the GAA."

The secret to having resilient, confident and optimistic children is to teach your kids to shrug!
Modern children can find themselves under a lot of pressure. Rates of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses in young people are increasing. Expectations are sky high. All of which, of course, only puts pressure on parents too.
What's gone wrong?
A big part of the problem is that too many kids have never learnt the ability to shrug things off. They've never learnt how to handle life's inevitable 'downs' as well as the 'ups'.
Teach Your Kids to Shrug! is a highly readable, extremely practical guide to parenting in a way that will improve your children's ability to deal with life's challenges, rather than be weighed down or held back by them.
In six sections, author and parenting expert Michael Grose shows you how to build resilience, confidence and cooperation in your kids, and how to better handle family matters, gender matters and sibling matters.
An essential guide to raising the children of the 21st century.
Michael Grose is the author of nine books for parents including Why First Borns Rule the World and Last Borns Want to Change It and Thriving! He is well recognised in the media for his expertise, regularly appearing on television programs such as The Today Show, Sunrise and The Morning Show as well as on ABC Radio Victoria. His popular parenting columns appear in newspapers and magazines across Australia, and his parenting resources are found in schools in every state.
