that totally simplify the process of setting up a website to sell

average reseller. FTP, html, javascript, php, SQL... YUCK!
wonder so many people get turned off by the technology. But having an
online store is such a critical part of
success that without one you're almost doomed to failure. Even for
people who do most of their selling via tried and true brick &
mortar channels, an online store can be a great asset that regular
customers can use to do their reorders. The point is that your online
store is a 24x7 sales person who adapts to the needs of buyers who want
to be able to order whenever and from wherever they want.

a webstore can really simplify selling online
of the great things about a webstore is that it really simplifies the
process of selling online. Once you have decided what product you want
to sell, it can take as little as 5 minutes to load that product into
your store where it becomes immediately available to online shoppers (or
you can choose to keep it unavailable while you add to the product
listing then publish it later with a single button click). Without a
webstore, you would have go through some pretty complicated steps:
MyShopKart store eliminates all that hassle and makes website management
much easier because most of the tasks above are automated &
simplified. Some typing and a few button clicks and that's it.
to get traffic to your store
of the keys to selling online is understanding how to drive traffic to
your site. Without traffic, it's hard to sell anything. We provide you
with some simple & straight-forward guidance on how to quickly
generate traffic and test products one at a time. Instead of having to
load hundreds of products into your store before you're even ready to
start selling, we'll show you some easy to use techniques that allow you
to test-market products and get results right away.
a profitable online business one product at a time without weeks
of time consuming upfront work
a few days, you will drive enough targeted traffic to your product
listings to know whether or not they are good sellers. If a product
listing produces profit, you keep it in your store & continue to
drive traffic to it. If not, you drop that product & move on to the
next one. Slowly but surely, you can build a profitable online business
product by product. We'll teach you how to prospect products so that you
select the right things to sell online & avoid wasting time on duds.

I'm not sure I really know how to do this.
What exactly am I getting for my money?
You are getting a fully functional web store as
described above.
We host your website but you are in full control of it. Easy to use
utilities allow you to manage all the products you sell. There is also
comprehensive help system which will guide you through the setup &
use of your store.
And you can always ask questions through our support dept.
Is my store loaded with
any products to start?
No - you can add your own products via bulk upload tools or one at a
time via the site administration tools. You can also use files supplied but
whatever suppliers you want to deal with to load your store
is going to be my cost for the merchandise?
cost for merchandise is going to be the wholesale price that you get from your
supplier Sample
item x = $4.60, you resell for $9.20 = $4.60 profit
gross sales means $2500.00 PROFIT for you! If you are just starting out or if you already have a retail store, this is
great opportunity to add an e-commerce store & additional income stream for
your business without putting in an extra 60 hours a week.
I don't want to have a site off of
myshopkart.net. Can I use my own domain name so that people can come to
store without seeing the myshopcart.net address?
Yes, you can use your own domain name. Just tell
us what domain name you want after signing-up, we'll register
it &
point it at your MyShopKart store (35$ setup fee)... You own &

If you setup the domain with us, we take care of that
for you. To use your own domain, first setup your eStore then you can setup
domain from within your store control panel.
If I don't want to setup a domain now, can I
still do that later?
You can add a domain at anytime - it's easy
to integrate with an existing MyShopKart eStore. There is a link to

Congratulations to TheRunawaySpoon, whose Baked Ricotta and Goat Cheese with Candied Tomatoes won this week's contest for Your Best Cherry Tomatoes, earning her big prizes from Viking, OXO and Tiny Prints, and a spot in the next Food52 cookbook!
Q&A with TheRunawaySpoon
Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.Really just being in the kitchen. My family cooks – my Mom made a great dinner every night when I was kid, and my Dad was a great one for kitchen projects like making bread or pasta or cooking Chinese food in a wok. I visited my grandparents for camp every summer and my aunt would loan me her 1950s Betty Crocker Boys and Girls cookbook and let me choose what we would cook on the weekend. We even did the fun cakes shaped like teepees and drums.
But I had this cookbook from a Junior League in South Carolina that came with colored metal measuring cups and spoons. The drawings in the book showed you when to use 1 red cup, or 1 green tablespoon. I cooked for my family from that book - I still use some of the recipes. It is one of my most treasured possessions.
What's your least favorite food?Broccoli. Hands down.
What is the best thing you've made so far this year? Gee, I hope I haven't done it yet! It's early days. I am always trying to grow and learn in the kitchen, so I hope each recipe gets a little better.
Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.Knock wood, I haven't burned down a house yet, or had any truly major disasters. I prepared an amazing dinner for friends once, and my back went out while unloading the dishwasher right before they arrived. I had to direct them how to finish and serve everything from a prone position on the floor. It actually worked out pretty well. I have great friends (and now a good chiropractor).What is your idea of comfort food?I am a good Southern girl, so I like dishes that feel like the South, like buttermilk biscuits, country fried steak with cream gravy and fried chicken or catfish. But true comfort is a favorite dish someone else prepares. I do most of the cooking in my life, so it's nice to have someone else serve me a good meal!Apron or no apron?Cooking alone and doing the dirty work, no apron. But for serving and entertaining, I have a huge collection of vintage and modern half-aprons. In a way, it's kind of a trademark. That's why the spoon on my Runaway Spoon website logo has on her flirty half-apron.What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year attempting to win Spencer Tracy's heart by proving she can cook breakfast. It's a complete disaster, but it still worked!If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?This is a tough one. There a ton of people I'd love to sit at the table with, but many of them I'd be too nervous to cook for. I think I'd like to cook a meal for Calvin Trillin. I could cook up a good Southern meal, and maybe show the Kansas City boy what real Memphis barbecue is. Plus, we could talk food and maybe he could entertain me while I cook by speaking in rhyme!You prefer to cook: a. alone, b. with others, c. it depends on your mood.I immediately thought to answer alone – I like to be in charge! But I love cooking with my nieces and nephew, and have had some really fun moments in the kitchen with family and friends. My niece's Iron Chef birthday party with 15 ten-year-old girls running around my kitchen may be the most fun I have ever had cooking.
When it comes to tidying up, you usually: a. clean as you cook, b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking, c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to clean.Sometimes I clean as I go, but mostly I do it at the end. I can't imagine what an amazing cook I could become if I had someone else to clean up after me! I could put all my energy into the fun part.
See what other Food52 readers are saying.

Cochabamba's New Direction
Earth Day was the closing day of the first World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba. It occurred to me as I watched participants and organizers streaming into the Félix Capriles Stadium for the closing ceremonies that decades from now, 2010 will be remembered as the year that Earth Day took on new meaning—the year that humanity turned a corner in our relationship to Mother Earth and began struggling along a new course.
Over the last week, a lot of information has been exchanged, new relationships were built, points and direction were strongly debated, and a new, shared course took shape. Always present in discussions was the role and actions of the United States government, the principle polluter of the last century, and the main obstacle to a meaningful response to climate chaos. The Copenhagen Accord, if adopted, would create a carbon market that researchers believe would decrease global emissions by 2 percent (from 1990 levels) by 2020, which is less than what countries committed to 10 years ago under the Kyoto Protocol. So as the problem has gotten worse, the U.S. administration under President Obama is proposing that the world be less ambitious.
But, as President Chávez of Venezuela pointed out in his statements today at the conference, "There wasn't any accord [agreement] in Copenhagen." Neither is the Copenhagen Accord a proposal. It's a threat made by a bully. The U.S. is now playing hardball, withholding funds for those impacted by climate change unless they sign on. In a lighter moment during the closing statements by government representatives today, the representative of Ecuador (which has been denied $2.5 million dollars already for its lack of support of the Copenhagen Accord) countered with an offer of $2.5 million dollars to the U.S. if it will join the rest of the world by signing the Kyoto Protocol. President Chávez later suggested that the money would be better spent getting social movements to Cancún.
And he was right. Leaving Cochabamba, there is a real sense in the air that our real work lies in front of us. A new global people's alliance for the defense of Mother Earth will be formed. Representatives will be going back to their home countries to continue fights around water, food and seed sovereignty, land reform, jobs and housing, indigenous rights, and forest protection, as well as for the protection of their local land and ecosystems against destruction by mining, dams, logging, and more. They will also have new direction in the fight against destructive climate policy. At the World People's Conference, particular points of contention were around the Program on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, carbon trading, and ecological debt. These were big issues for the communities represented in Cochabamba, and will continue to be heading into Cancún.
No Fairness, No Deal
Equity is the only way to break the climate stalemate between the Global South and the North.
This also raises an important point. When the social movements met, what came through loud and clear was that people all over the world think that climate change should be solved by having those who pollute too much cut their emissions. The communities and movements don't want fancy trading schemes, and they don't want their land, their labor, or their bodies to become a commodity to be sold in someone's market (and neither do those who have been made marginalized and poor wish to stay that way—this is the "right to development" that has been so debated). This opinion, broadly shared by those outside of the official negotiations, differs somewhat from those governments, including Bolivia, who have taken the approach of fighting for continued open negotiations by all nations and maintenance of the Kyoto Protocol. This tension between the demands of movements on the outside and governments on the inside will be resolved favorably to the extent that movements can flex their muscle and the negotiations reflect what people want and not just what's possible under the political power plays of the day.
But more than politics, the conference in Cochabamba brought to the table humanity's relationship with Pachamama, or Mother Earth. This question, raised most pointedly by the indigenous communities present, was reflected in the project of creating a declaration of Mother Earth Rights, but also went way beyond it. Can we really reach a sustainable relationship with the Earth unless we stop looking at it as something to be conquered or fixed that is outside of us? How would it change our lives and our struggles if we believed, as Leonardo Boff of Brazil said, "Todo lo que existe merece existir, y todo lo que vive merece vivir" [Everything that exists deserves to exist, and everything that lives deserves to live]? Or if we understood the Earth as a living thing of which we are a part, or that, "La vida es un momento de la tierra, y la vida humana un momento de la vida" [Life is a moment of the Earth, and the human life is a moment of life]"? The clear message coming through in Cochabamba is that we have to get right with nature. As President Morales warned in his opening statement to the conference, our choice is between "Pachamama o muerte!" [Pachamama or death!]."
- from the World People's Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth.

Capt. Rick Redmond's job often means barreling his heavily armored vehicle through the barren, mine-laced countryside in one of the most lawless regions of Afghanistan.
Capt. Rick Redmond's job often means barreling his heavily armored vehicle through the barren, mine-laced countryside in one of the most lawless regions of Afghanistan.
Redmond of Utica is one of many New York Army National Guard members deployed to the country – officials wouldn't say how many are there – and charged with enlarging and training the miniscule police and military force.
"We are working on new weapons, new vehicles, uniforms, ammunition for their weapons," Redmond said by phone recently from Kabul, Afghanistan.
Many military personnel are doing similar tasks throughout the Middle Eastern country, but Redmond's location in the flat, destitute province of Ghazni puts him in one of the most dangerous in the country, officials said.
"These guys, they operate 'down range,'" explained Lt. Col. Paul Fanning. "Most of the violence is taking place in these other locations. They are the ones that are on the roads all the time, braving the IEDs."
IEDs is Army lingo for improvised explosive devices. That is, bombs.
The fight against terrorist groups including the Taliban in Afghanistan has continued to increase recently: In the last three months, more Americans have been killed there than in Iraq.
And the number of suicide bombers continues to climb, from two in 2002 to more than 100 in 2007.
"We seem to fight the enemy at least once a week," said Redmond, 34.
Fighting may mean dodging an explosive device set along the few roads that lace the country. He's had many close calls.
Two months ago, he was riding in a vehicle that rolled over one of those mines.
The vehicle was destroyed. But he, the driver and the gunner walked away, he said.
It's just one of "numerous" close calls, he said, in a land populated by people who live without running water, and several generations occupy just one or two earthen-walled rooms.
"It's a tremendously poor area," he said. "The majority of the people do not have running water and they live in mud huts … subsist on vegetables they grow."
There are flocks of sheep, a few cows, some orchards and the occasional cash crop of opium poppies.
He doesn't know when he will come home.
He misses things: "The summer atmosphere. The Boilermaker. Saranac Thursdays.
"And my family, of course."
That includes wife, Amy, and his daughters: 15-year-old Kaela and 10-year-old Tiana.
Amy Redmond tries to keep up the morale at home, she said.
"There's good days and bad days," she said. "We try to keep it normal and keep the same pace and same routine.
"We miss him --- we can't wait to have him home."
Rick Redmond's mother, Carol Redmond, tries to keep up her son's morale by sending cards and letters, packages of Slim Jims and family pictures.
"You think and you pray every day," she said. "That's all."

Opening Statement of Senator James M. Inhofe
Ranking Member, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
Full Committee hearing entitled, "Update on the Latest Climate Change Science and Local Adaptation Measures."
Wednesday, August 1, 2012 10:00 AM
I must say it feels like we're back to the good old days. It may be hard to believe, but it was in February of 2009, during the height of the global warming alarmist movement, that this committee last held a hearing on global warming science. Back then we heard promises from the Obama administration of a clean energy revolution with green jobs propped up by billions in taxpayer dollars to companies like Solyndra.
What came of all those promises? The global warming movement has completely collapsed and cap-and-trade is dead and gone.
I suspect a look back over the past three years will be a little painful for my friends on the other side. In 2009 with a Democratic President, and overwhelming Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate, global warming alarmists were on top of the world - they thought they would finally reach their goal of an international agreement that would eliminate fossil fuels. Yet the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill didn't happen.
Of course, what drove the collapse of the global warming movement was that the science of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was finally exposed. For years I had warned that the United Nations was a political body, not a scientific body - and finally the mainstream media took notice:
New York Times editorial: "Given the stakes, the IPCC cannot allow more missteps and, at the very least, must tighten procedures and make its deliberations more transparent. The panel's chairman...is under fire for taking consulting fees from business interests..." (February 17, 2010)
The Washington Post: "Recent revelations about flaws in that seminal IPCC report, ranging from typos in key dates to sloppy sourcing, are undermining confidence not only in the panel's work but also in projections about climate change.
Newsweek: "Some of the IPCC's most-quoted data and recommendations were taken straight out of unchecked activist brochures, newspaper articles..."
UK Daily Telegraph on Climategate: "The worst scientific scandal of our generation."
Just how unpopular is the global warming movement now? The Washington Post recently published a poll revealing that Americans no longer worry about global warming and one of the reasons is because they don't trust the scientists' motivations.
The IPCC has even lost the trust of the left. Andrew Revkin of the New York Times recently called for IPCC chair Pachauri to make a choice between global warming activism and leading the IPCC. They are also saying similar things about global warming alarmist James Hansen. As David Roberts of Grist acknowledged, Hansen has "become so politicized that people tend to dismiss him."
Just one look at this committee and we can see how bad things have gotten for the alarmists: today there are no federal witnesses here to testify about the grave dangers of global warming. President Obama himself never dares to mention global warming and some on the left have noticed: Bill McKibben recently criticized the President for not attending the Rio + 20 sustainability conference noting that, "Unlike George H.W. Bush, who flew in for the first conclave, Barack Obama didn't even attend."
It must be very hard for my friends on the left to watch the President who promised he would slow the rise of the oceans posing in front of pipelines in my home state of Oklahoma pretending to support oil and gas.
I imagine they are trying to keep quiet because they know President Obama is still moving forward with his global warming agenda - he just doesn't want the American people to know about it.
Now what the American people don't know: President Obama is doing through his bureaucracy what he couldn't do legislatively. He is spending billions of taxpayer dollars on his global warming agenda. We've already identified $68 billion.
Today we should have a fascinating debate. I want to thank climatologist Dr. John Christy for appearing before the Committee to provide his insights. I am also looking forward to the testimony of Dr. Margo Thorning, a noted economist who will discuss the economic pain of the Obama EPA's current regulations.
We've been through this now for the past 3 ½ years and the results are clear: President Obama's green energy agenda has been a disaster. The time has come to put these tired, failed policies to rest and embrace the US energy boom so that we can put Americans back to work, turn this economy around, become totally energy independent from the Middle East, and ensure energy security for years to come.

Posted on 02/03/2006 2:56:16 PM PST by jdege
by Faith Okpotor
February 3, 2006
Many - perhaps most - Chicago aldermen have chosen not to exercise their statutory right to carry a weapon.
Most, that is, except the fiery, hat-wearing alderman from the Third Ward.
Dorothy Tillman startled those present at a Police and Fire Committee meeting of the Chicago City Council several years ago, an aldermanic aide recalled, when the issue of aldermen owning guns was broached.
"I carry a gun," she announced, pulling a pistol out of her purse.
A survey of all 50 aldermen had one aldermanic aide - not from Tillman's office - say, "You should talk to Tillman. Tillman is your girl."
Despite the fact that it is illegal for ordinary citizens to carry concealed weapons in Chicago, it's different for alderman. An 1872 state law allows aldermen and other municipal officials, as peace officers, to carry guns, make arrests and detain suspects "after receiving a certificate attesting to the successful completion of a training course administered by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board."
Sheila Albright, an assistant to the director of the training standards board, said her agency does not have a record of how many municipal officials have guns, nor of how many have undergone the necessary training.
Some aldermen who do not personally bear arms said they understand why others would want to.
"I don't need one," said Ald. Brian Doherty (41st), the lone City Council Republican from the far Northwest Side. "I feel secure in this area." But Doherty said he would carry a gun if he lived in a high-crime neighborhood.
"In this position we don't have bodyguards," Doherty said. "[Aldermen with guns] have the ability to defend themselves." He added that Ald. Edward Burke (14th), chairman of the Finance Committee, and Tillman both carry guns. Neither Burke nor Tillman returned numerous calls seeking comment.
Burke also has the distinction of being the only alderman with a security detail from the Chicago Police Department.
Of the 15 aldermen who responded to inquiries, 14 said they do not have guns, six said they had no problem with aldermen being allowed to carry concealed weapons and two disagree with the idea altogether.
Those two, Toni Preckwinkle (4th) and Latasha Thomas (17th), were vocal.
"I am a big supporter of gun control," Preckwinkle said curtly, "and I don't carry a gun."
Thomas said, "I am not a fan of guns. I don't think I need it. I use the police just like any other citizen." Thomas also said it is unnecessary for aldermen to pack heat, and that if the matter ever came before her, she would vote to repeal the law.
Ald. Anthony Beale (9th), being a hunter, has guns and a firearms identification card, said Rich Ringer, his spokesman. But Ringer said Beale does not carry concealed weapons on his person as a peace officer.
Another alderman opposed to guns is Walter Burnett Jr. (27th).
"I am totally against it," Burnett said, adding, however, that he would not criticize his colleagues who have chosen to own guns. "It has an effect on people's emotions. They get confrontational when they have a gun."
Emotions definitely ran wild on one occasion. Tillman allegedly brandished her gun during a shouting and shoving match at a ward redistricting meeting in November 1991. She allegedly pulled a .38-caliber snub-nosed revolver. The incident resulted in a reference to Chicago by a Washington Post writer as the "wild, wild (Mid)west."
Perhaps the most remarkable thing over the 134 years the law has been in effect is that no gunfights have taken place during a City Council meeting or the often contentious committee meetings - such as deliberations for the recently passed smoking ban.
Former state Rep. Lee Preston, D-Chicago, now a Cook County judge, said he unsuccessfully tried to repeal the law when he was serving in the General Assembly. Preston said his measure failed because aldermen were successful in getting their legislators to protect their clout.
"It is bizarre," Preston said. "It makes absolutely no sense. They have badges, they can initiate arrests. The law is archaic. It ought to be repealed. If it makes you feel safer that aldermen are out there carrying guns without training..."
Mayor Richard M. Daley and Gov. Rod Blagojevich have recently repeated calls to ban assault weapons in Illinois. According to a Chicago Police Department 2004 murder analysis report, 313 of the 448 murders in Chicago were committed using handguns, not assault weapons.
Gun control opponents have criticized a policy that allows aldermen, but not ordinary citizens, to bear arms.
Ald. Ariel Reboyras (30th) has a gun license dating back to his days as director of security for the city's water purification plant, but said he never purchased one.
However, he said: "I think it is a good law. We are protecting individuals."
"I carry my badge everywhere," Reboyras added as he pulled the badge from his pocket and read from its insignia: "City of Chicago, Alderman."
Faith Okpotor is a reporter for the Medill News Service.
Despite the fact that it is illegal for ordinary citizens to carry concealed weapons in Chicago, it's different for alderman. An 1872 state law allows aldermen and other municipal officials, as peace officers, to carry guns, make arrests and detain suspects "after receiving a certificate attesting to the successful completion of a training course administered by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board."
One law for us, another law for the rest of you.
Oh yes, some pigs are more equal than others.
I guess I missed the part of the Constitution that restricted the second amendment to aldermen and other municipal officials.
Exactly why the second ammendment was put into the constitution.
I'd like to see a push to get this "loophole" repealed. I wonder what HCI et al. would say?
These politicians need to be mugged. Brutally.
"I guess I missed the part of the Constitution that restricted the second amendment to aldermen and other municipal officials."
Isn't that odd? I was thinking last night, whose right to bear arms is being infringed?
Federal Government? Nope.
State and Local Government? Nope.
The People? Yep.
"The right of the People to bear arms shall not be infringed".
There are many circumstances in this nation of ours that are, more and more often, beginning to be very similar to pre-WWII Germany!
OH...so THAT is what you're talking about! Ah...like I was saying...it's not original. :-) I read it somewhere else. But it's a good point still!
A true "ban" would forbid everyone from having an "assault weapon", am I correct in believing that the police will still have these weapons and that the "ban" is really just disarming the subjects?

Tuesday's game at No. 2 Miami is not only a chance for Virginia to enhance its NCAA tournament credentials but also the Cavaliers' first-ever regular-season clash with a team 12-0 or better in the ACC.
The Hurricanes (21-3 overall) defeated Clemson 45-43 on Sunday, their seventh ACC road victory. They were a combined 7-25 on in road conference games from 2009-12.
Miami leads second-place Duke (22-3, 9-3) by three games with six to play, virtually assuring them the Hurricanes top seeding for the ACC tournament in Greensboro, N.C. Miami would be the event's first No. 1 seed other than Duke or North Carolina since Wake Forest in 2003, the first from outside the Tar Heel State since Maryland in 2002.
While Virginia (18-7, 8-4) has never encountered a 12-0 or better ACC team during the regular season, the Cavaliers have four times in the ACC tournament. A quick summary:
* After completing a 16-0 ACC regular season in 1999, Duke faced last-place Virginia in the opening round of the ACC tournament. Led by William Avery's 18, eight Blue Devils scored at least eight points in a 104-67 rout.
* The most competitive and memorable of the four games was a 1987 ACC semifinal against North Carolina at the Capital Centre in Landover, Md. The Tar Heels had gone 14-0 during the regular season and dismissed Maryland in the quarterfinals. Fourth-seeded and NCAA tournament-bound Virginia extended Carolina to double-overtime before falling 84-82. Andrew Kennedy scored 22 for the Cavaliers, Joe Wolf 27 for the Tar Heels, who lost the title game to N.C. State. Virginia's John Johnson played all 50 minutes.
* The Cavaliers were no match for David Thompson and eventual national champion North Carolina State in the 1974 ACC semis. The Wolfpack, 12-0 during the regular season, rolled 87-66 behind Thompson's 37 points.
* Similarly, in 1963, Virginia encountered 14-0 Duke in the ACC quarters, losing 89-70 as Jeff Mullins and Art Heyman combined for 50 points.
A couple of follow notes on the rarity of Virginia shooting 58.5 percent from the field in Saturday's 93-81 loss at North Carolina.
That's the Cavaliers' best shooting in defeat since 2003, when they made 59.2 percent in a 78-77 setback at Clemson.
The Tar Heels' 53 second-half points were one more than they scored in a 61-52 defeat at Virginia last month.
North Carolina has won 284 games in Roy Williams' 10 seasons as coach. None of those victims shot as well as the Cavaliers on Saturday.

Book Club: Food for All by Janet Poppendieck
Our September book club selection is Food for All: Fixing School Food in America by Janet Poppendieck.
We'll be meeting from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 8th. Roy Street Coffee and Tea is located at 700 Broadway East. Limited free parking is available in the lot below. This will be an active, open conversation and all are welcome – please come even if you haven't had a chance to finish the book!
How did our children end up eating nachos, pizza, and tater tots for lunch? Taking us on an eye-opening journey into the nation's school kitchens, this superbly researched book is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment of school food in the United States. Janet Poppendieck explores the deep politics of food provision from multiple perspectives–history, policy, nutrition, environmental sustainability, taste, and more.
Drawing from extensive interviews with officials, workers, students, and activists, she discusses the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and turns a critical eye on the "competitive foods" sold in cafeterias. How did we get into the absurd situation in which nutritionally regulated meals compete with fast food items and snack foods loaded with sugar, salt, and fat? What is the nutritional profile of the federal meals? How well are they reaching students who need them?
Opening a window onto our culture as a whole, Poppendieck reveals the forces–the financial troubles of schools, the commercialization of childhood, the reliance on market models–that are determining how lunch is served. She concludes with a sweeping vision for change: fresh, healthy food for all children as a regular part of their school day.
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="288"] Janet Poppendieck[/caption]
Janet Poppendieck is Professor of Sociology at Hunter College, City University of New York. She is the author of Free for All: Fixing School Food in America; (University of California Press, 2010); Sweet Charity? Emergency Food and the End of Entitlement (Penguin, 1999); and Breadlines Knee Deep in Wheat: Food Assistance in the Great Depression (Rutgers University Press, 1985).
"In her extraordinarily well-thought-out, beautifully written, sympathetic, and compelling book, Jan Poppendieck makes clear that Free for All has two meanings: how pressures to reduce the cost of school meals put our children's health at risk, and how best to solve this problem–universal school meals. Anyone who reads this book will find the present school lunch situation beyond unacceptable. Free for All is a call for action on behalf of America's school kids, one that we all need to join. I will be using this book in all my classes."–Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics

The Xbox One launches this fall for $499. Microsoft has recently backtracked on several key features for the console following a backlash from video game players.
In June, Microsoft scaled back policies requiring regular authenticity checks online and limitations on what players could do with games after purchase.
Last week, in an interview with IGN, Microsoft's Marc Whitten confirmed the Kinect motion sensor was no longer required for the console to function. Several critics raised privacy concerns related to a feature where a user could power up the console by saying "Xbox, on."
The holiday will prove critical to the video game industry, which also introduces Sony's PlayStation 4 this holiday. Meanwhile, Nintendo hopes to regain traction with its Wii U device, which has struggled to capture player interest.

Yep, it's that time of year again – the epitome of redneck entertainment - the annual, bi-annual, no real schedule whenever we feel like it – La Sal dynamite shoot.
Even if you didn't read the ad in this paper, local folks knew what was going on just from the kabooms that can be heard in town from West La Sal aka Rattlesnake Ranch.
Now these folks might be a little red in the neck, but most are crack shots. Their skills were put to the test Saturday on what was just one more blustery, windy (I'm getting tired of this) spring day.
I believe, nevertheless, a good time was had by all. More than a few participants hit their targets or there wouldn't have been any Kabooms!
For the more refined among our citizenry, the next scheduled meeting of the La Sal Literary Guild will be held on June 26 at the local library at 7 p.m. I'm quite sure there will be refreshments or I'll eat my hat.
I'm not worried; our librarian always has some yummy goodies for our gatherings – much tastier than an old dirty hat. This time around we did not settle on one particular book to read and discuss. It was decided that we'd each pick a biography to read and then share thoughts with the group.
It really is a fun night and we are always ready to welcome new folks to the gathering. It would be nice to have a few representatives of the male species. I know they read as readily as the gals do. Come on out and join the fun.
Speaking of our local library – and summer (almost) – the summer reading program is underway every Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. Kids of all ages are invited to come out and participate. We have a really cool librarian and it promises to be a fun summer activity. Coming soon are contests for the summer reading activity.
Here comes the bride! Or, we'll be saying that in a few more months. Former La Salian Amanda Fuller came home to visit find a wedding venue.
These two are planning on tying the note later this summer at a scenic spot nearby La Sal. No shortage of those! You can catch up on the happy couple by checking out Facebook.
The train will soon be pulling out of the station for the annual trek to the Midwest lead by our own Ruthie Thayn. Going along with her this year on her last trip (we'll believe that when we see it!) is her new hubby, Lloyd, as well as other local folks.
They head to Nauvoo this time every year and have a great time touring all the historic sites. Even though Ruthie swears every year that this will be her last (she puts a GREAT deal of effort and planning and time and expense and stress into these trips) she's already got folks clambering to go with her next year. I'm betting there will be a trip next year.
In what has become an annual and even several times a year event, many former La Salians and friends met this last week for a Reddirtretreat Quilting retreat. This is hosted by a gal with roots in La Sal and firmly in San Juan County – Krista Redd Chadwick.
Now this endeavor falls firmly in between redneck doings and sophisticated fun. It's an old time country women's pastime/necessity and a very popular present day art form. It also includes food. If you've ever been to any kind of a Redd shindig you know their reputation for great vittles! Quilting and food – can't beat that.
Most of the action took place in Paradox this year. In years past it has been at the new Lodge (currently under renovation) in Old La Sal. Next year the event is scheduled to begin June 11 and will be held at the La Sal Community Center. As for me and my house – next year I'm grabbing my sisters, and we are going to try and attend! (Yea for retirement!!).
Do country folks really travel on their stomachs or is it just me? (Don't answer that!)

McCain, Graham blast Paul filibuster
While Republican senators flocked to the floor Wednesday night to support Sen. Rand Paul's nearly 13-hour filibuster, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) did exactly the opposite on Thursday.
McCain quoted heavily from a Wall Street Journal editorial that slammed Paul's filibuster on the Obama administration's drone use, including a line that said "If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in college dorms."
Story Continued Below
McCain called Paul's concern that the government could kill any American with a drone "totally unfounded." He referenced Jane Fonda, as Paul did on Wednesday, calling her "not his favorite American" for her support of the Viet Cong, but said the American government would not have killed her.
(WATCH: Rand Paul filibusters CIA nomination)
"To somehow say that someone who disagrees with American policy and even may demonstrate against it, is somehow a member of an organization which makes that individual an enemy combatant is simply false," McCain said.
Graham also chided his fellow Republicans on the floor for joining Paul in his filibuster.
"To my Republican colleagues, I don't remember any of you coming down here suggesting that President Bush was going to kill anybody with a drone, do you?" Graham said. "They had a drone program back then, all of a sudden this drone program has gotten every Republican so spun up. What are we up to here?"
Graham, who has railed against the president for the administration's handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, praised Obama's use of the drone program.
"People are astonished that President Obama is doing many of the things that President Bush did. I'm not astonished. I congratulate him for having the good judgment to understand we're at war," he said. "And to my party, I'm a bit disappointed that you no longer apparently think we're at war."
Many senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) supported Paul's efforts on the floor Wednesday.
(PHOTOS: Filibuster highlights)
Additionally, McCain said the filibuster would give fire to critics of the Senate rules and warned his colleagues that it set a bad precedent.
"What we say yesterday is going to give ammunition to those critics who say that the rules of the Senate are being abused. I hope that my colleagues on this side of the aisle will take in that information," he said.

The UK has been understandably reluctant to consider what it will call itself when Scotland leaves the union. I have suggested UK Minus, and some refer to it as rUK. Among the speculation in the Guardian letters today, we have the suggestion Former United Kingdom (as in Former Yugoslavia). This is fine until one considers the acronym thus derived, and although it might accurately describe the reaction of the British Establishment to Scotland's independence, I feel that it is unlikely to be adopted.
The seasonal press and media are boke-inducing at this time of year, an orgy of triviality, religiosity and sentimentalism. I look around despairingly, hoping to find a street urchin to shove up a chimney or a downtrodden clerk to oppress, but such consolations are hard to find. Unfamiliar people pop up out of nowhere – the Guardian gives over its Face to faith column to Denis Alexander, an eminent scientist, who is director of the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, based at St. Edmond's College, Cambridge. A cursory glance at the site and its publications seems to show rather a lot about religion and not too much about science, but this is a superficial judgment. Denis Alexander is the author of a book called Creation or Evolution – Do We Have to Choose? My answer is – well, yes, we do.
The article opens with another question -
"Given the fact of human evolution, here is a good question for Christmas: if we last shared a common ancestor with the chimps about 5-6 million years, and humans have been gradually emerging through a series hominid intermediates ever since, then why did Jesus die? The connection of thought here might not be immediately apparent."
The last universal ancestor was not a chimp, but the cenancestor, which was around some 3.7 billion years ago. Around 6 or 7 million year ago was the time of the latest common ancestor, but it's not for the likes of me to quibble with an eminent scientist – Millennium Man was foraging in Kenya about 6m years ago, and various others hopped about until Australopithecus around 3.6m years ago considerately left footprints on volcanic ash to help Denis Alexander with his Christmas message.
Denis Alexander rather disarmingly says that "The connection of thought here might not be immediately apparent." Well, yes, it is, Denis – to everyone but The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, who, Templeton Prize perhaps in mind, make a different connection. For the uninitiated, I quote Richard Dawkin's description of the Templeton Prize – ""a very large sum of money given ... usually to a scientist who is prepared to say something nice about religion."
The Templeton Foundation's connection with right-wing causes and a certain kind of free market economics is well-documented. Its objectivity is, to put it mildly, fiercely disputed. The Templeton Prize - £1 million pounds – is enough to make any scientist consider carefully what he or she has to say about the link between science and religion. I am forced to say that, for that kind of dough, I might be persuaded to think again about my atheism and my 'spirituality'.
I greeted the election of Barack Obama as a great event signalling a new dawn for America and for global politics. His initial attempts to reform healthcare in the US seemed to point towards a new liberalisation of America.
In fact, he has turned into the American equivalent of Nick Clegg – all shining idealism in opposition and pre-election campaigning, and sordid expediency and retreat from principle in power, with the difference that Obama has the reality of power, but has failed to used it.
Mehdi Hasan - Obama's abysmal record – is one of many commentators to document his bleak record in today's Guardian, and there are many others.
Obama is about to endorse the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) permitting indefinite detention in military – not civil – custody of US citizens who are suspected of having terrorist connections. This pernicious act will also make such detention mandatory for foreign nationals who are 'accused' of having links with Al Quaida.
This makes Obama an even more illiberal president than George W. Bush. What the Obama presidency appears to show is that even a liberal, Democratic president is powerless in the face of the conspiracy of unelected power in the United States, an impotence mirrored by that of successive UK governments in the grip of a similar unelected Establishment. In the case of a good man like Obama, it is a tragedy: in the case of the Cameron/Clegg regime, it is a predictable Whitehall farce.
But despite all of this, I am of good cheer, capable of Scrooge-like regeneration, surrounded by those I love and respect, and looking forward to another year's progress towards the independence of my little nation.
If Scotland must face global corruption and chaos, I want us to face it daien oor ain thing.

The Scotsman has the story at http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scotland/39Sophisticated39-swindle-at-National-Library.6777672.jp?articlepage=1. In the piece Martyn Wade, national librarian and chief executive of the NLS, is quoted as saying the following: "This was a complex and sophisticated crime committed by a senior manager and budget holder who had a detailed knowledge of internal processes and procedures. Our systems identified discrepancies and as soon as these were confirmed, appropriate action was taken and the police were notified. Internal procedures were immediately reviewed and strengthened. A planned upgrade to a new financial system has recently been completed, which should prevent any future misappropriation of this kind. To date, over £146,000 of stolen funds has been recovered and the National Library of Scotland is continuing legal proceedings to recover as many funds as possible."
No longer employed by the NLS, Dinham is now facing prison, though sentencing has been delayed until June 21st in order for background reports to be carried out on him.
Comment: Considering how important the NLS's digitisation programme is for all of us in Scotland researching our family histories, this is indeed a series blow to the library's project. However, with a glass half full approach, I personally think that whilst some money-grabbing piece of filth wants to better his lifestyle by illegally appropriating money for his gain from the tax money paid by you and I, there are also decent hard working folk at the NLS who spotted the irregularities and contacted the police. To them should go our utmost thanks. Let's sincerely hope it does not happen again, and that this has not in any way damaged the library's digitisation programme.
The story has also been picked up by the BBC and the Daily Record.

Anyone looking to beg is going to need to get permission first in one area town.
A South Jersey town now requires beggars to obtain permits and seeks to punish those who aggressively solicit donations.
The Middle Township ordinance defines aggressive begging as speaking to or following a person in a manner that would cause them to fear bodily harm or otherwise intimidating someone into giving money or goods.
The ordinance requires those who solicit money to obtain a permit at no charge and forbids solicitation by obstructing a pedestrian or vehicle, near an automated teller machine or bus or train stop, and in exchange for a service.
Fines start at $250 and include possible jail time.
Police Chief Christopher Leusner tells The Press of Atlantic City beggars who are not threatening and comply with the ordinance will not be punished.
"Someone walks by and says, 'Can you spare a dollar?' And they thank you, they keep on moving -- that's something that is protected by the First Amendment," Leusner told the paper. "That's not what we're targeting here. These are people that are making people feel unsafe."
Middle Township is a part of Cape May County and has about 16,000 residents.
Middle Township isn't the first area town to require begging permits. Nearby Atlantic City has had begging permits in place for the past three years.

That's the question on our minds this month as we get ready to hand over $500 to the lucky winners of our National Coupon Month giveaway. It could buy a designer handbag, a new iPhone or go towards a weekend getaway. But if you're looking for something a little more practical, then take a peek at these items that will make that $500 stretch into even more.
Museum membership. Buy an annual family membership to a museum or educational center that participates in a reciprocal program. It will cost between $75-$125 for a family of four, but your membership to one center will also get you in to hundreds of other museums and science centers for free or half the cost.
Vacuum sealer. No, we're not kidding. A vacuum sealer keeps food for up to five times longer with no freezer burns. It opens up a lot of possibilities like buying markdown meat in bulk, individually portioning and freezing it. Or, you can double recipes and freeze a meal or two for a rainy day.
Extra freezer. Stocking up on meat and having all of those perfectly sealed meals only works if you have a place to put them, which is why it may be good to invest in a spare freezer. A chest freezer is typically more energy efficient than an upright freezer. Score a small freezer unit for less than $200 when you look for closeout sales on last year's models.
Coffeemaker. You've heard it said before, one of the best way to cut costs is to skip your trip to the coffee shop and go with home-brewed java. If you want a plain cup of drip, that's not so hard. If you want a daily nonfat soy vanilla latte, a machine at home will cost you a little more than a simple coffeemaker. However, coffee machines have come down in price and you can buy a pretty good one for around $150. You're just about 40 lattes away from breaking even.

Reasons for Designation
The most complete and extensive survival of chalk downland archaeological remains in central southern England occurs on Salisbury Plain, particularly in those areas lying within the Salisbury Plain Training Area. These remains represent one of the few extant archaeological "landscapes" in Britain and are considered to be of special significance because they differ in character from those in other areas with comparable levels of preservation. Individual sites on Salisbury Plain are seen as being additionally important because the evidence of their direct association with each other survives so well. Twenty-eight Neolithic long barrows have been identified in the Salisbury Plain Training Area. As a monument type long barrows are sufficiently rare nationally that, unless severely damaged, all examples surviving as earthworks are considered to be of national importance.
A large long barrow with a mound c.48m east/west x 18m wide in the west and
22m wide in the east. The flanking ditches are c.10m wide but damaged by the
military. Several partial excavations took place in the 19th century.
MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract.

I was reading some of my favorite blogs when I came upon Blog Anniversary Dates in GENEABLOGGERS. I thought my date should be coming up soon and so I checked…..
Much to my amazement it is December 22, 2008. Have I only been writing here for one year??? It must be so because I have the written documentation……
I love reading others blogs, it gives me inspiration, where and how to research and just ideas on what to write about.
I have been working on Genealogy for three years now and I must say I have found more and gotten farther than I would have thought to be possible.
My biggest regret would be I did not start it sooner and gotten information from my parents or grandparents. Some one posed a question to me one day. If you could have dinner with anyone throughout history, who would it be? My initial answer was Thomas Jefferson, but now it would be my great grandparents. There would be so much to find out. I would love to talk to the people who came before me and who genes made me who I am today.

Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations
Women In Egypt face the increased danger of sexual assault by large gangs of men .Due to a lack of legal protections and restrictions on social services, female victims of violence generally have NO options for assistance.
Egypt's ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women to prevent them from going out for work or study .
The Campaigners in Egypt say the problem of sexual harassment is reaching epidemic proportions, with a rise in such incidents over the past three months. For many Egyptian women, sexual harassment - which sometimes turns into violent mob-style attacks - is a daily fact of life .
Some Egyptian women have begun carrying kitchen knives at protest marches in Cairo against sexual harassment and rape, which has been an epidemic since the Arab Spring. Ultraconservative Islamists have declared that women invite attacks because they mix with men at anti-government protests. One hard-line cleric, Mohammed Abdullah, said women at protests "were going there to get raped."
Women in Egypt cannot report to the Police because the police stations aren't safe for women , there are a lot of reports have mentioned that women got molested there by the official employees.
Lastly, I urge you to publicly offer your support for women in Egypt and take action against Egyption Authorities for allowing crimes against women .
I hope the Secretary General will stand firm against the violence against women and not allow to violate women rights in Egypt as well as in the world .
I suggest to set a new law that can protect women and create a female police force for violent crimes and sexual harassment against women
I also suggest to implant cameras in public places and inside police stations ,
I finally recommend that women must be allowed to carry a weapon for protection.
Sincerely ,
Bassma Gandhi

Egypt's ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women to prevent them from going out for work or study .
the Muslim Brotherhood is paying gangs to beat up men who are taking part in the latest round of protests, which followed a decree by President Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers.
under Mubarak, the Government paid thugs to beat male protestors and sexually assault women.
'This is still happening now,I believe thugs are being paid money to do this .
The Muslim Brotherhood have the same political approaches as Mubarak.
One protestor, told the newspaper how she had been in the square filming the demonstrations for a few hours when the crowd suddenly turned.
Before she knew what was happening, about 50 men had surrounded her and began grabbing her breasts. She said they ripped off her clothes, starting with her headscarf and for nearly an hour, indecently assaulted her with their hands.
A few men tried to help her but they were beaten away. Eventually some residents who had seen the attack from their windows came to her aid and an elderly couple pulled her into their home. She suffered internal injuries and was unable to walk for a week.
Four of Yasmine's friends were also sexually assaulted in the square that day, in the summer.
Afaf el-Sayed, a journalist and activist, told the newspaper she was assaulted by a group of men while protesting in Tahrir Square just over a month ago and she was sure her attackers were 'thugs from the Muslim Brotherhood'.
In February 2011 the correspondent for the American network CBS, Lara Logan, endured a half-hour sexual assault in Tahrir Square by a group of men. She said after the ordeal that she had been 'raped with their hands'.
While the exact frequency of these attacks is unknown, activists have reported nearly 20 attacks in the last ten days and say there has been a dramatic increase in mob sex attacks on protestors in the last year.
all we want is to ban this heinous behavior and protect women from such a humiliation and violation , it's a serious Crime that requires serious response.

She's open to just filing for bankruptcy so we're going to speak with a lawyer buddy of mine in a few days to see what happens there. She has no choice at this point than to face a really bad credit score whether by bankruptcy or we settle with the credit card companies. My credit score won't be affected she's going to have to live with the consequences of her actions and just eat it. I don't want to have to pay this back. Student loans are coming due next month
I don't know enough about bankruptcy to give you advice as to whether to file or not, but this seems short-sighted and a good way to make your financial life pretty damn difficult for the next 7-10 years rather than just sucking it up for 2-3 years and dealing with this.
As DZ said, it's her score not mine. My name isn't on any of the debt. We have a house that is jointly owned so creditors can't touch it and both cars are paid off. She knows her credit is going to have to be the price she pays for her stupidity and she has accepted it. Just seems like the most sensible route to go considering the enormity of the debt. And DZ, it's the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to give 3 guesses at it and I bet you won't get it.
