It might be the next meeting with your boss, a doctor's appointment to discuss your lab results, an unavoidable conversation with someone who has hurt you in the past, or simply the fear of what today might bring.
Here's a poem entitled, "A New Day," written by Margaret Cowan, Office Manager of the Mind-Body Wellness Center. It's literally just what the doctor ordered - a prescription to inspire a healthy perspective to brighten your day.
Then an opportunity suddenly arises that requires a gut decision. Just when life's experiences are about to condition that typical knee-jerk response, we stop cold in our tracks. We ask ourselves if our next step is going to be based upon what we bring to the picture from the past. Then we suddenly freeze.
After all, its obvious that our past instincts didn't necessarily generate stellar results. However, now we must choose. Shall we abandon the lessons and bittersweet experiences of our past, or shall we try another approach utilizing a new vantage point?
It then becomes clear that the decision upon us does not require an all-or-none response. What things should we bring to the table and what must we lay aside?
Just because a relationship didn't work in the past, must we be fearful of establishing new ties? Just because someone we trusted let us down, does that mean that history will repeat itself? Deep within, there's a gung ho "nothing ventured, nothing gained" drill sergeant shouting commands to move forward. There is also a wound so deep that even contemplating suffering at the same depth again is more than we can handle. Must we distance ourselves based upon the past, or march forward with a wide-eyed perspective that anything is possible?
Ultimately the choice is ours and as stated in the poem, we must lay down the path to our future, one step and one decision at a time. Will all of our choices lead to the "best and the most beautiful?" I think not. We're not perfect beings.
Yet I do believe that when we allow ourselves to choose, and open ourselves to feel and understand the weight of the past, we then progressively grow and evolve in mind, body and spirit. Our only rational choice is to move ahead with what we need.
For remaining stagnant and resorting to a path already traveled leads us nowhere. In our contemporary society with so many choices, it's easy to reject choice, to get stuck ... and depressed ... and ultimately hopeless.
In fact, such a predicament requires no choice at all. While the decision not to choose appears easy at first, it buries us within the depths of our own complacency sculpted by avoidance behavior. Such inaction quickly transforms itself into the baggage of our past.
Margaret's insight is timeless - this is your chance to lay down the stairway of your future. Move onward, make wise choices and hear your inner voice. Know that every obstacle is an opportunity in disguise. And as an old philosopher once said, "dance like no one is watching!" -- Mind Over Matter!

I recently purchase a 1963 Austin Healey Sprite I plan on restoring to a previous race form for AACA. With AACA for the car to be eligible I must prove it was raced more than 25 years ago and document it. So, I am seeking anything anyone who may know anything about the car to help me get a picture of it over 25 years ago and a signed statement to that fact it was raced. (solo OK) Information I have:
1963 Austin-Healey Sprite VIN HAN7L31007
It is all metal except flairs. there was a side bar removed from drivers side on the roll cage.
It was purchased by a Victory Gulley of Peoria Il in 1985. (anyone know Vic?)
That about all I know, It it has been setting for years so it may still look similar.
I have attached a couple pictures. Looks like it may have been blue at one time.
any names, emails, or anything would be helpful.

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. — Authorities have closed three upscale townhouses operating as a maternity center for Chinese mothers paying thousands of dollars to give birth in the United States so the children would automatically gain citizenship.
Police and city inspectors found seven newborns and two mothers when they closed the homes for building code violations on March 8 in San Gabriel, a suburb east of Los Angeles that is home to a large Asian population.
The women, who were Chinese and Taiwanese nationals and spoke little English, told officials their families had paid to send them to the United States to give birth, said city code compliance officer Clayton Anderson. He did not know how much was paid.
The women stayed at the center before and after giving birth at local hospitals, Anderson said.
Condos converted
The three homes, part of a five-unit condo development on a quiet residential street, had adjoining inside walls removed and had rooms divided so mothers each had separate spaces, Anderson said.
The babies were kept in clear plastic bassinets in a kitchen converted into a nursery.
"There was a woman there who said she was a nurse but she kind of scrambled away when we got there," Anderson said.
The women and babies were taken to another location after the homes were deemed unsafe for occupancy because structural walls had been breached.
U.S. law automatically entitles children born on U.S. soil to citizenship, and it is not illegal for pregnant women to visit the U.S. to give birth.
Women from other countries have long traveled to the U.S. legally on tourist or student visas and given birth, but this case is unusual in that it appears to involve an organized business, experts said.
"The reports up to now have been about travel agencies abroad that specialized in this, but they send one person at a time here," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies. "What this could suggest is ... they're taking it to the next step. Whoever is organizing this type of operation is buying or leasing a home to become a clearing house. That's a serious problem."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement would only investigate if the case involved fraudulently obtained visas, agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.
Automatic citizenship under attack
Republican lawmakers have targeted limiting automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. and earlier this year said they hoped to trigger a Supreme Court review of the Constitution's 14th Amendment or force Congress to take action with legislation they've drafted on the issue.
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King sponsored a bill that would limit automatic citizenship to people with at least one parent who is a citizen, a legal permanent resident or served in the military, but there has been little movement on the legislation since it was introduced.
Some states, too, have tried to take steps to limit birthright citizenship. Last week, Arizona's state Senate rejected illegal immigration bills that included measures intended to produce a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on who is entitled to U.S. citizenship at birth under the 14th Amendment.
But Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte, said traveling to this country to give birth is not a common practice and defended automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S.
"The 14th Amendment is fundamental to the U.S. and too important to change because of the practice of a few," she said "It would be a severe disservice to our nation if millions of immigrants are painted with the same brush."
Chapman University law professor Maria Cianciarulo, who specializes in immigration, said she's never heard of a maternity house, noting that birthing tourism is a tiny fraction of the flow of immigrants and tourists into the United States.
Home undergoes restoration
Workers at the San Gabriel house were busy Thursday restoring it to its original state as ordered by the city.
Property manager Dwight Chang was fined $800 for construction without a permit and operating a business in a residential zone. He told city officials that he had rented the townhomes to a woman. A phone message left at Chang's business, Ta Way Development in Arcadia, was not immediately returned.
The city investigation, which included police and child protective services, was prompted by neighbors' complaints of noise at night and a lot of activity at the house at all hours, said Jennifer Davis, community development director.
Neighbor William Padgett, who has lived on the street for 22 years, said he often saw groups of women in the advanced stages of pregnancy taking walks in the neighborhood and a lot of cars in the middle of the night.
"I knew something from the get-go was going on," he said. "There was a lot of coming and going."
Mayor David Gutierrez said he understood why some foreign citizens would wish to have their children in the U.S.
"They should certainly be commended for looking at the future welfare of their children but we need to be very careful that as a result it doesn't impact services and quality of life that we provide for U.S. residents," he said.

Beginning September 5, 2017, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will require asset managers to shorten their standard settlement cycle for most securities to two business days. Designed to reduce counterparty and systematic risk, and improve capital efficiencies, this change will require asset managers to take a close look at their settlement performance and practices.
Firms that are quick to recognize their existing limitations and take steps now to remedy those shortcomings should be on track for T+2 implementation later this year and well positioned to deal with the possibility of T+1 settlement down the road.

Hale County Probate Judge Arthur Crawford will fight a misdemeanor assault charge filed against him in April.
Hale County Probate Judge Arthur Crawford will fight a misdemeanor assault charge filed against him in April.
An employee who worked as a security guard with Crawford at Mercedes Benz U.S. International claims Crawford, 56, injured his shoulder when he hit him on Feb. 19, 2010.
Crawford said during a hearing in Tuscaloosa County District Court Wednesday that he is not guilty and plans to hire an attorney, He declined to comment further after the hearing.
According to the court deposition written in March 2010 but not filed in court until April 18, Crawford and Lee Alexander, 63, were working as guards for Wackenhut Corp., a Birmingham security firm that contracted to work at the auto plant in Vance.
Alexander wrote in the deposition that Crawford, his supervisor, asked him about an employee he had let in a gate at the west turnstile just after midnight.
"He became very agitated and asked me why I didn't call him," Alexander wrote. "I told him I didn't think it was that important. He got very upset and got right in my face and told me he didn't like my attitude. He then took both of his fists and hit me with a hard blow to my chest, knocking me backward, causing me to fall into the chair. He then stepped back with both of his fists to attack me again."
Alexander was treated for the injury at UAB Medical West emergency room in Bessemer. A doctor wrote two weeks later that Alexander could return to work but should refrain from using his left arm.
Crawford, a retired U.S. Army veteran from Sawyerville, took office in January after a controversial battle for the position held by Leland Avery for three terms.
He won the Democratic primary, but was disqualified after rulings that he didn't follow new campaign finance rules. He launched a successful write-in campaign and defeated the incumbent with 3,729 votes to Avery's 3,353 and Republican challenger Bob Hoggle's 1,409.

- Campus Community
Dear University of Maryland community:
Today, the $85 billion across-the-board federal spending cuts to defense and discretionary domestic programs -- known as "sequestration" -- are expected to go into force amid the continuing fiscal impasse in Washington, D.C.
It will directly affect two critical areas of the University: financial aid and funded research. Although the full impact of the cuts may not be clear for a few months, we are prepared to redeploy our limited resources to help tide over, as best we can, those who are most vulnerable to the financial consequences of sequestration.
Reductions in federal work-study aid will affect over 200 of our undergraduates. The most at risk are in Maryland Pathways, a program that assists academically talented students from low-income backgrounds. To them, the University of Maryland offers this assurance: you will not have to leave the University in the coming year because of sequestration. We will find private funds to replace the lost aid, so that the current federal budget stalemate does not derail your education.
Sequestration will affect in different ways the approximately 1,500 graduate research assistants and 2,300 research faculty and staff whose salaries are supported partly or wholly by grants from over a dozen federal funding agencies. The University will work with colleges and research centers to help buffer, on a case-by-case basis, the varying impacts of cuts by different agencies. To our research assistants who are jeopardized by sequestration, the University will find ways to provide you with temporary bridge support. We want you to stay on track with your graduate education.
We do not yet know the full force of federal austerity on Maryland's economy, which is heavily dependent on federal and military spending. Therefore, we do not yet know the ripple effects on the state's budget for higher education next year. Meanwhile, we continue to work with our elected officials in Annapolis to keep the tuition increase low; to fund salary merit increases that we have not had in four years; and to support expanded enrollments in science and engineering.
I will keep you informed as sequestration and the state budget process unfold. We are a campus family. We must stand together to help each other through these difficult and uncertain times. I am confident that our nation, our state, and our university will come through this latest round of fiscal brinkmanship.
Wallace D. Loh
President, University of Maryland

Looking For Clarity In 2013? Not Gonna Happen
We live in a time of unprecedented access to entertainment, news, information — even to each other. But that access requires navigating a digital labyrinth, with toll booths, hidden doors, gates that only open in one direction, false exits, and misleading turns — along with some clear paths and dazzling topiary. I wish I could say that will get easier in 2013. It won't. And if there's one prediction I feel safe in making, clarity isn't even in our mid-range future.
Why? I explain as part of the Nieman Jopurnalism Lab 2013 predictions project. (Thanks for including me, Josh.) Lots more on a variety of topics from much smarter people.

Making Feedback Mobile
Nov 1, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Businesses and consumers instinctively understand the importance of customer feedback. Customer engagement represents a potential source of continuous improvement and competitive advantage for businesses. Consumers want to be heard and shape the products and services that impact them.
Having advised business and nonprofit leaders across nearly all sectors for over 25 years, I believe the creation of a virtuous customer feedback loop may represent the greatest transformative opportunity in business today. A truly effective consumer-business "conversation" can drive product innovation, brand development, customer loyalty and employee recognition and retention. This list is why management experts Peter Drucker and Jim Collins repeatedly stress the critical importance of customer engagement and feedback.
Technology lies at the heart of accessing the opportunity.
The Trouble With Existing Tools
Traditional feedback tools including lengthy surveys, 1-800 numbers, rating sites and comment boxes are often ineffective on a practical level. The reason is that they don't work particularly well for BOTH parties. As a result, they often end up not working for either.
First of all, organizations struggle to obtain actionable data. They worry the unsolicited feedback they are receiving through surveys is skewed and does not represent the opinions of the less-vocal majority of their customers.
Consumers, meanwhile, don't want to be hassled or spend precious minutes providing feedback they're not sure will be heard or is largely irrelevant to their experience. Handing customers a receipt with step-by-step instructions is impractical; no customer wants to shuffle through their receipts when they get home, and by then their experience is a distant memory. Phone calls or on-site questioning can be intrusive and time-consuming.
Patrons want their voices heard -- but on their terms, and often anonymously.
As a result, some customers turn to more public online outlets to voice their views. These sites allow consumers to express themselves in their own way and on their time. Yet this public, and still often anonymous, feedback ends up primarily geared towards educating other consumers. Although businesses monitor this input, it does not provide them the type of insights they need to make good decisions.
In order to be effective, feedback needs to offer convenience to the user and actionable data to the business. Mobile gives users a fast and easy outlet for real-time commentary that provides businesses with private, structured and effective data.
According to Pew Research Center data, 56 percent of American adults now own a smartphone of some kind and 80 percent of time on mobile devices is spent on apps. With an on-the-go client base that is linked to a mobile device, businesses have an unprecedented opportunity to hear from consumers. If you're looking for feedback, it's time to go mobile and meet your customers where they already spend most of their time.
Engage Customers in Mobile Feedback
Getting customers into the habit of providing feedback is difficult, but offering a mobile outlet they can use on their terms makes it a lot easier. Below are a few tips to help promote a mobile feedback channel:
- Use social media: Post your mobile feedback tool to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Let your loyal customers know about it and tell them you want to hear directly from them.
- Incentives: Consider offering an incentive to those initial patrons who give you mobile feedback. The hardest feedback to get is the first. Once customers know you're listening and responding, they will gladly provide it. Nothing generates early adoption faster than financial savings.
- Awareness: In retail, post a picture of your feedback tool's logo at the checkout area or on your front door. Catch patrons' attention with an interesting and appealing image that encourages them to use your chosen tool. Get them curious. Use online or other customer interaction points if you are in a nonretail businesses.
- Promote good: Consider asking customers to help you recognize the people of your business. Thank them for taking a minute to acknowledge the waiter whose been taking their order for years and always greets them with a smile, for example. Spread positivity -- this is the best kind of feedback from a cultural standpoint, and many customers love to give it!
Businesses have become extremely efficient in most organizational aspects. For example, supply chains are highly integrated and Six Sigma type thinking has led to massive process improvements. Yet the last and most critical mile -- true customer engagement -- is still underdeveloped.
Like so may other things, mobile technology promises to revolutionize traditional feedback products with a massive benefit for consumers, businesses and society.

The round ball is bouncing in Blanding and Monticello as the San Juan boys and Monticello girls opened their 2012-13 basketball seasons.
Seven seniors look poised to guide the Broncos of Coach Jason Torgerson to big heights this year. Returning double figures scorers, Barkley Christensen and Logan Meyer, have led the Broncos in the early going, forging a 2-1 record.
In the opener on the road at Shiprock, NM, Meyer led the way with 18 points. Christensen added 16 points as the Broncos lost at the buzzer 54-52.
Next the Broncos matched up with Pedro Vista, NM and came up with a hardfought 83-62 win on the road. The Broncos led by just one at halftime but blitzed PV with 47 second-half points.
Both Meyer and Christensen poured in 25 points apiece to pace the win. Meyer added 11 rebounds and seven assists to his all-around effort, while Christensen canned five treys.
Ammon Mitchell also scored in double figures with 12 points.
The hectic early season schedule, three games in five nights, seemed to catch up with the Broncos on Saturday night in their homeopener against Gunnison Valley.
Struggling to score (the Broncos did not hit a three the entire night), the Broncos trailed a physical Bulldog team 31-26 at halftime, although Bobby Bowring's steal and score at the buzzer made it closer than it seemed.
The Broncos were clearly tired, with many shots hitting the front of the rim, but found their legs and their free throw shooting hops in the second half.
When a frustrated GV coach picked up a technical with five minutes left in the third quarter, the Broncos had drawn even at 34-34 after an eight-point spurt from Christensen.
The game seesawed back and forth from there with neither team gaining more than a three-point advantage. The Bulldogs squeaked out a two-point lead at 57-55 with just 26 seconds left and looked to take the road win home until Christensen craftily drew a foul on a three point attempt and then willed three tired free throws into the basket, giving the Broncos the lead they needed.
When Meyer added two more free throws with nine seconds left, the Broncos had their win.
Meyer pulled down 11 rebounds, had five steals and scored 18 points on 10 of 15 freethrows, all in the second half, while Christensen was eight for eight from the charity stripe while scoring 14 points.
As a team, the Broncos made 28 of 36 freethrows for 78 percent. They've made 45 of 59 freebies in their last two games.
Next up for the Broncos are two home games, Tuesday against Whitehorse, and Thursday against Aztec, NM before the annual trip to the Farmington, NM tournament next week.
Put 21 December on your calendar for the annual Christmas season game against Monticello in Monticello.
Lady Bucks
Coach Lee Chadwick's Lady Buckaroos started off with four games in a week, too. The young and inexperienced Bucks have had trouble finding the basket early on, but are improving with each game.
In the opener at Grand, the Bucks pulled out a tight 20-15 low scoring win over the Red Devils. Brittany Keith led the way with eight points, but the Buckaroos only managed eight for 28 at the foul line.
The game was in doubt with Monticello leading 17-15, when Zoe Chadwick hit a turnaround jumper in the lane with under a minute to go, giving the Lady Bucks the cushion they needed to get the win.
On Friday, the Lady Bucks traveled to Milford for the Oak Tree Inn Invitational. The Lady Bucks again scored 20 points, but couldn't stop the Lady Tigers, who poured in 49 points of their own, including 30 in the second half.
Chadwick led the way with half of the Buckaroos 20. Brittany Keith was injured in the last quarter, and missed the next two games. She got a tooth knocked loose.
Saturday saw two games on the docket against Duchesne and Tintic. The Lady Bucks lost to Duchesne 31 – 15. Chadwick is high scorer with eight.
The Lady Bucks beat Tintic 31-30 on a last second shot by Kaitlyn Clark. Clark and Mary Beh both had eight.
This week finds the Lady Bucks in action right here in Monticello against Dove Creek on Tuesday and a rematch with Grand on Thursday.
The Buckaroo boys begin play this week at Dolores on Tuesday and at the 1A Preseason Preview in Richfield on the weekend.
San Juan Lady Broncos begin play this week as well with three road games, at Whitehorse, Millard and Green River.
All-state football
All-state football teams were announced this past week. Eight Broncos for Coach Monty Lee's second place Broncos and six of Coach Lee Chadwicks Buckaroos were honored.
Broncos Barkley Christensen, Logan Meyer, Bobby Bowring, and Bogh Bayles and Buckaroos PJ Leiataua and Gunnar Hollingsworth, all seniors, aere first team choices.
Ammon Mitchell, Brett Laws of San Juan and Austin Maloy, Austin Wilcox, Jake Duncan, and Jake Giles of Monticello are second team choices.
Justin Nielson and Mason Shumway are honorable mention. Congrats!

All roads lead to Rome, but PulseAudio is not far behind! In fact, how the PulseAudio client library determines how to try to connect to the PulseAudio server has no less than 13 different steps. Here they are, in priority order:
1) As an application developer, you can specify a server string in your call to pa_context_connect. If you do that, that's the server string used, nothing else.
2) If the PULSE_SERVER environment variable is set, that's the server string used, and nothing else.
3) Next, it goes to X to check if there is an x11 property named PULSE_SERVER. If there is, that's the server string, nothing else. (There is also a PulseAudio module called module-x11-publish that sets this property. It is loaded by the start-pulseaudio-x11 script.)
4) It also checks client.conf, if such a file is found, for the default-server key. If that's present, that's the server string.
So, if none of the four methods above gives any result, several items will be merged and tried in order.
First up is trying to connect to a user-level PulseAudio, which means finding the right path where the UNIX socket exists. That in turn has several steps, in priority order:
5) If the PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH environment variable is set, that's the path.
6) Otherwise, if the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable is set, the path is the "pulse" subdirectory below the directory specified in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
7) If not, and the ".pulse" directory exists in the current user's home directory, that's the path. (This is for historical reasons – a few years ago PulseAudio switched from ".pulse" to using XDG compliant directories, but ignoring ".pulse" would throw away some settings on upgrade.)
8) Failing that, if XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is set, the path is the "pulse" subdirectory to the directory specified in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
9) Still no path? Then fall back to using the ".config/pulse" subdirectory below the current user's home directory.
Okay, so maybe we can connect to the UNIX socket inside that user-level PulseAudio path. But if it does not work, there are still a few more things to try:
10) Using a path of a system-level PulseAudio server. This directory is /var/run/pulse on Ubuntu (and probably most other distributions), or /usr/local/var/run/pulse in case you compiled PulseAudio from source yourself.
11) By checking client.conf for the key "auto-connect-localhost". If so, also try connecting to tcp4:127.0.0.1…
12) …and tcp6:[::1], too. Of course we cannot leave IPv6-only systems behind.
13) As the last straw of hope, the library checks client.conf for the key "auto-connect-display". If it's set, it checks the DISPLAY environment variable, and if it finds a hostname (i e, something before the ":"), then that host will be tried too.
To summarise, first the client library checks for a server string in step 1-4, if there is none, it makes a server string – out of one item from steps 5-9, and then up to four more items from steps 10-13.
And that's all. If you ever want to customize how you connect to a PulseAudio server, you have a smorgasbord of options to choose from!

Gym Class Heroes, 'A— Back Home' Feat. Neon Hitch – Lyric Video Premiere
Gym Class Heroes enlist the vocal assistance of Neon Hitch on their brand-new song, 'A— Back Home,' which you can hear (and watch per the lyrics video) exclusively on PopCrush.
Hitch introduces the track with the hook, "I don't know where you're goin' or when you're comin' home / I left the keys under the mat to our front door / For one more chance to hold you close / I don't where you're goin' / Just get your a— back home."
The mid-tempo song utilizes guitar accents but keeps the focus on the vocals, as frontman Travie McCoy raps about having a girl who reluctantly puts up with the fact that he's constantly away from home, living the rock & roll lifestyle:
"You've been nothing but amazing and I never take that for granted / Half of these birds would've flew the coop, but you, you truly understand it / And in fact you stood beside me everytime you heard some bogus-ness / You deserve a standing O cause they'd have just been over it."
The lyrics video exemplifies that, with footage of a couple who make their relationship work, even if the guy ops for takeout and accidentally misses a home-cooked meal prepared by his girlfriend.
It's a cute song, especially when McCoy reassures his love interest they are meant for each other. "We put the 'us' in trust, baby!," he promises. It sounds like these kids are going to find a way to make it work.
Hitch was excited to work with GCH, writing on her blog, "I've always been a big fan of their music and it's an honor to have the chance to collaborate with Travie and the boys."
'A— Back Home' appears on Gym Class Heroes' upcoming album 'The Papercut Chronicles II,' which also includes 'Stereo Hearts,' 'Life Goes On' and 'Martyrial Girl$.' You can buy the song on iTunes starting at midnight, Tuesday morning.

The biggest surprise of the night isn't President Obama's victory. It was always plausible to believe that Obama would triumph based on narrow wins in battleground states like Ohio and Virginia.
The real surprise is in the Senate, where the Democrats will probably expand their majority in what should have been a difficult year for them. And it won't be because of the comments of Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock on the subject of rape. Their comments pretty much ensured that the Republicans wouldn't gain control of the Senate. However, a good showing by other candidates, especially in Red States, would have avoided a rout.
We may yet see that showing, but right now the odds are against.
Deb Fischer has held up her end in Nebraska, defeating Bob Kerrey by claiming nearly 59 percent of the vote. And Jeff Flake has held off Democrat Richard Carmona in Arizona.
But Power Line Picks Rick Berg (North Dakota) and Denny Rehberg (Montana) seem to be in trouble. With 96 percent of precincts reporting, Berg trails Heidi Heitkamp by 50.8 to 49.2. And Rehberg trails incumbent Jon Tester by 51.5 to 44 with 21 percent of precincts counted.
Finally, in Nevada (a purple state), Republican Dean Heller and Democrat Shelly Berkley are essentially tied (Heller 45.6, Berkley 45.4) with about 30 percent of precincts counted.
So we may well see Democrats win North Dakota, Montana, and Nevada. In each case, the result would be an upset. And rather upsetting.
I'll check back in on these races tomorrow and offer some additional commentary.
Good night.

Michele Bachmann clearly possesses a strong self-image.
The Minnesota congresswoman and former Republican presidential candidate told Bloomberg TV that she was "the perfect candidate" for the White House in 2012.
"I was. I was the perfect candidate," Bachmann told Bloomberg's Al Hunt. "America had their chance with the perfect candidate."
The rest of the candidates — not so perfect — but OK fellas.
"Any of our candidates are going to be acceptable to the American people," Bachmann declared. "More than acceptable, because right now, if you look at the Gallup map that came out this week, President Obama is in big trouble all across the country."
Tuesday might have been the perfect candidate's perfect opportunity: Her home state holds its GOP presidential caucuses. But in this imperfect world, Bachmann is on the sidelines, seeking re-election to Congress rather than the White House.

Measles outbreak will not lead to mandatory vaccinations in B.C.
Warning issued to residents of Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, Hope
B.C.'s health minister says the government won't be forcing people to get a measles vaccination despite an outbreak in the Fraser Valley.
Instead, Terry Lake says the government hopes most people heed the advice of health officials and have their children vaccinated to protect the population.
Other provinces have mandatory vaccination policies, but Lake says he's not sure the B.C. government wants to take that step.
There are two confirmed cases of measles and dozens of other suspected cases in a Chilliwack, B.C., school.
The Fraser Health Authority has issued a get-vaccinated warning to residents in half a dozen communities from Abbotsford to Hope, where the immunization rate is low.
Lake says he's concerned that students are being put at risk in the school system because people aren't protecting their kids against an easily-preventable disease.

Tim Tebow's No. 5 Nease High jersey was retired Friday night.
Tebow, the former Nease standout and Florida Gators star, could not attend the ceremony but was represented by his parents, Bob and Pam Tebow, before the start of Nease's game against Menendez.
Tim Tebow led Nease to a 2005 Class 4A state championship win at what is now called Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens. The Tebow-led Panthers earned the first state title in school history by defeating two-time defending champion Seffner Armwood 44-37. Tebow passed for 237 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns.
Tebow famously lined up at defensive tackle on the final play of the game to hold off a late Armwood surge and secure the win.
Tebow, now a quarterback with the New York Jets, sent a short video message that was played for fans before Nease's game Friday.
"I will never forget my time at Nease, especially our state championship," Tebow said in the video,
Tebow was home schooled, but he was awarded an honorary Nease High diploma.
"It's a great honor," Bob Tebow said, according to the Augustine Record. "The years at Nease were not only a lot of fun, but they were very formative years."
Nease players followed up the ceremony with a 43-13 win over Menendez. Senior running back Ulysses Bryant rushed for a Tebow-esque 267 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries during the victory.

For Our Mutual Benefit: The Athens Woman's Club and Social Reform, 1899-1920
- Coverage Dates: 1899-1920
- Update Frequency: ongoing
For Our Mutual Benefit consists of two minute books, covering the years 1899-1920, from the Athens Woman's Club collection housed in the Heritage Room of the Athens-Clarke County Library. The minutes provide a detailed record of the educational, social, philanthropic and reform activities of the Athens Woman's Club during the height of the Progressive Era and document the relationships between the Athens Woman's Club and various other organizations of local, state and national significance such as the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The materials help shed light on the complexity of southern progressivism, with particular regard to the social and political issues surrounding the regulation of child labor, the enforcement of compulsory school attendance and the passage of a woman's suffrage amendment.
Chartered in 1899, the Athens Woman's Club, like many other women's clubs in Georgia and throughout the United States, was originally formed as a literary club dedicated to the educational and cultural development of its members. Over the next two decades, the club gradually directed its efforts to serve the community beyond its membership by embarking upon social reform and civic improvement initiatives.
The following set of minutes chronicles this critical transition and the notable work performed by members of the Athens Woman's Club, who organized, fundraised and lobbied to establish institutions such as the Tallulah Falls Industrial School and the Crawford Long Infirmary and to persuade university trustees to admit women as students at the University of Georgia.

Phil Schiller's comments to the Shanghai Evening News follow soon after reports from The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg - both regular conduits for genuine leaks about forthcoming Apple products - that said a cheaper iPhone was in the works.
"Every product that Apple creates, we consider using only the best technology available," he said.
"This includes the production pipeline, the Retina display, the unibody design, to provide the best product to the market."
Analysts have said Apple should offer a smartphone at a lower price to increase its share of the booming Chinese market, which has been falling under pressure from a slew of cheap, low-margin Android devices from domestic manufacturers. IDC said in December the American firm had slipped to sixth biggest smartphone maker in China, with less than 10 per cent of the market.
Mr Schiller, who is Apple's second most powerful executive, after chief executive Tim Cook, acknowledged the trends in China.
"At first, non-smartphones were popular in the Chinese market, now cheap smartphones are more popular and non-smartphones are out," he said.
But he rejected calls for Apple to make a "cheap" iPhone, saying that "despite the popularity of cheap smartphones, this will never be the future of Apple's products."
"In fact, although Apple's market share of smartphones is just about 20 per cent, we own the 75 per cent of the profit."
China is nevertheless seen as a weak spot for Apple by investors. When it introduced the iPhone 5 there in December, it was forced to issue an unusual announcement of strong sales to counter negative reports that Apple Stores had failed to attract customary crowds.
While appearing to make a smaller, cheaper iPhone less likely, Apple watchers have insisted Mr Schiller's comments do not amount to a denial of The Wall Street Journal's and Bloomberg's reports that one is in development. Instead, his message was consistent with Apple's strategy of never making price the main selling point of its products, many claimed.
"A cheaper iPhone may indeed be cheaper than what we're used to, but it's unlikely to end up being what Apple considers to be 'cheap'," wrote Jacqui Cheng of Ars Technica.
"Another way of looking at it is this: the iPod nano is cheaper than the iPod, but it's not a 'cheap' product."
It has been reported that Mr Schiller and Mr Cook are visiting China in the hope of making a distribution deal with China Mobile, by far the country's largest operator, with 700 million subscribers.
Mr Cook told the official news agency Xinhua he expected to see growth for Apple in China.
"China is currently our second largest market. I believe it will become our first. I believe strongly that it will," he said.

Congressmen Michael Michaud (ME) and Tom Petri (WI) have sent out a "Dear Colleague" letter urging other members of Congress to join them in supporting the Recreational Trails Program (RTP). In a letter to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee leaders, the Congressmen express their strong support for the program and urge that the Committee provide adequate funding levels for the program.
The Recreational Trails Program was created in 1991 by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and is administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). RTP provides funds to the States to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both nonmotorized and motorized recreational trail uses. The program is funded by taxes on fuel used in off-highway recreational vehicles and a 20 percent state match is required for the projects.
Under the current draft of the Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2009 that was recently released, the RTP is reauthorized. However, specific funding levels are not included in the legislation. Congressmen Michaud and Petri are urging that the program have adequate funding levels and that the levels accurately reflect the federal fuel taxes paid for off-highway fuel usage.
ASLA recently joined 267 other national and local organizations and businesses in sending a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urging their support for RTP as part of the reauthorization of the surface transportation legislation, which the Senate will address soon.

Proof of concept: whisky/shochu blends
One of the dirty secrets of the Japanese whisky industry is that for many years some companies put non-whisky alcohols into their whisky blends. I am sure there are a few rogue operations still out there (discussion of ji-whisky at the end of this post) but the big players, such as Nikka and Suntory, are now extremely committed to keeping in line with the Scottish conventions.*
This is why I think it will take a while for one of the big players to do what I just did in my kitchen: blending malt whisky and shochu. The idea occurred to me after reading a load of articles from the Scotsman newspaper (c. 1800-1900). I have been going back to the source material because there is such a lot of romantic claptrap talked about the development of whisky in the home countries.
One thing that came across to me from the debates about blended whisky in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United Kingdom was that they were often not at all precious about what exactly constituted the grain component of the whisky. According to one side of the debate, all of the grain was a foreign substance.
So, why not go for something completely foreign? Inspired by Serge Valentin's blending, by my knowledge of Japanese whisky dim and dusky past, and by my research into shochu and awamori for my book, I decided to do a "proof of concept" with the ultimate easy drinking blend: 4 parts Miyagikyou no age statement whisky (mainly made up of 5-8 year old whiskies) and one part Iichiko, which is a very popular barley "honkaku shochu".
"Honkaku shochus" are not continuously distilled in column stills like grain whisky but are made in pot stills like malt whiskies. My rather shallow thought process was that, although there are very significant differences in the processes of making shochu and whisky, the Iichiko is, as a pot distilled and barley based spirit, less "foreign" than the grain whiskies the malt whisky is habitually married with.
Iichiko is known as "Shitamachi no Napoleon" over here, which roughly translates as "Cockney's Cognac". It became very popular in the 1980s and is still prominent on supermarket shelves. As the nickname makes clear, Iichiko is nowhere near the premium end of the honkaku shochu market, retailing for about 900 yen a bottle compared to a still very reasonable c.1,800 yen for the Miyagkyou (no age statement). It is a very smooth drink. Indeed, it is soft to a fault and makes the already extremely easy going Miyagikyou very light indeed (and under strength. See the note below).
Let`s be honest, a Miyagikyou/Iichiko combination is a bit of a half-assed sort of a blend but I think I will be able to take this experiment a lot further. It at least proved to me that there is nothing in the nature of whiskies and shochus to preclude such mixtures. But what about a bit more oomph in the malt? And a lot more power in the shochu? We could leave the barley shochu shores and stick in a shlick of lengthily aged rice-based awamori? Or a heavily peated malt with a drop of stinking potato shochu. Nice! Or maybe not?
*There is at least one difference. The Japanese companies still bottle their cheapest whiskies (such as Torys and Nikka Black) at below 40 per cent alcohol, which any Scot would tell you is not a whisky. The Japanese tax laws still seem to protect the shochu market by taxing higher alcohol distilled drinks at a higher rate. This does nobody any favours, not least of all the quality shochu makers, but this anachronism will take a while to be reformed.
1 comment:
I blend tequila all the time. One of my favorite blends is a 2:1 mix of Hornitos Reposado with the 100% agave version of El Jimador (hard to find, not great on its own, but it really takes the alcohol edge off the Hornitos). I do the same thing with coffee. I cook a lot of Indian food, and one thing I've learned from Vedic cooking (which doesn't allow tasting during the cooking process) is that your nose is a far more sensitive sensory organ than your tongue. Don't believe me? Try it. Your nose can detect the most amazing subtleties. You can actually SMELL, for instance, whether a dish has enough salt without tasting it. I didn't believe it myself until I tried it, but it's true. When you first do it, it's like walking through a maze blindfolded. But try it and you'll be convinced. We rely on our eyes and our tongue way too much.
Go to the grocery store and make yourself a nice coffee blend, using only your nose. It's not only a lot of fun, but you'll end up with some great coffee.
The nose knows.

Escarpment Vineyard was established in 1999 as a joint business ventur...
It goes without saying the impetus behind establishing this vineyard came from the four's deep love for Pinot Noir. Meeting by chance in 1999 through Dr Richard Smith, Larry and Robert quickly hit it off and realised they had more than a love for the grape in common. Serious talk about establishing a definitive New World vineyard began in earnest even then and the 'idea whose time has come' has resulted in one of the most significant vineyard developments in the New Zealand district of Martinborough.
Escarpment is accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand®, an industry initiative directed through New Zealand Winegrowers. With a growing trade and consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, it provides an important platform to promote the New Zealand wine industry as a world leader in clean, green wine production.

First city-wide wireless project in India is also the first test of WiMAX on a commercial basis in the country.
First city-wide wireless project in India is also the first test of WiMAX on a commercial basis in the country.
Freifunk, a free user-run network, is spreading like wildfire. In Berlin, it already covers more than one tenth of the city providing possible Internet access to about 350, 000 people. The Leipzig and Weimar communities are growing. And the model is starting to spring up to other countries.
First the city was going provide free wireless Internet access. Now, due to telcom opposition, this has changed to a competitive commercial service. And still telcom operators are kicking up a fuss trying to stop it.
Wireless@SG is the Singaporean initiative to deploy island-wide wireless access for citizens and for the time being it's free. Singapore is now the second nation in Asia after Taipei to possess an anytime, anywhere wireless broadband service.
India's Department of Telecom is working on a way to censor the Internet without attracting a public outcry. And it may put a stop to Internet telephony services of Yahoo, MSN and Skype.
Spain's Basque country leads in European rural broadband access as a direct result of an innovative government program.
The self-proclaimed largest do-it-yourself wireless community network, Freifunk in Germany, has developed a new algorithm that the developers claim would revolutionize adhoc networking or mobile mesh routing to make all current mesh routing protocols and algorithms obsolete.
After just three months of going live, Norfolk's wireless community network has become something of a role model for other cities and local authorities in UK interested in developing their own wireless projects.
A University of Berkeley research group and Air Jaldi connects a rural Himalayan region of India with WiLD -- reportedly the only low-cost wireless alternative that connects Wi-Fi mesh networks over long distances at high speeds.
Building digital communities in the UK, or even in Europe, is still mired in issues ranging from technology and choice of appropriate business models to skepticism.

Ahhhh… Mothers Day…
I remember the days of being all doe-eyed and oogie over a hideous breakfast in bed knowing full well the kitchen probably looks like a Third World Country. Gifts like tiny hand prints pressed into cement, so much cuter than the tiny handprints in ketchup on the walls. Mothers Day Tea parties with cucumber sandwiches and fancy paper hats made by dirty, sticky hands that I ate and wore with a smile on my face.
I ALSO remember thinking that when they are older, Mothers Day will be a fancy breakfast buffet with mimosas in crystal glasses and Eggs Benedict on fine china, served AND cleaned up by someone else. Gifts like a day at the spa and maybe a real cup of tea like Earl Grey, with lemon…and actually hot.
The reality is… acutely different.
My kids now range from almost 10 to 17. And right now, the only thing I want from them is this…
1. Flush the fucking toilet.
2. Pick up, un-ball and place into a laundry basket your crunchy, Frito smelling socks.
3. When you take your pants off.. don't leave them inside out with your underware securely attached to them. They are 2 separate items. Take them off one at a time.
4. When you walk in the door and actually remember to take off your shoes, MOVE THEM FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE DOORWAY.
5. Stop putting half eaten bowls of cereal in the fridge. WTF? You will NEVER eat it later. Hell, the dogs won't even eat it.
6. Penicillin has already been invented. Bring your plates and cups down from your room.
7. Keep track of your shit. IE: iphone/ipod chargers. Stop stealing mine.
8. When I hide something, I isn't a game. You aren't supposed to go looking for it. (like chargers…)
9. If you have a spider in your room, and are too fear struck to kill it yourself, get me or dad… we will help, judgment free. Stop lighting them on fire, insurance won't cover that. Spraying them with Febreeze won't work either and whacking them with a metal bat only leaves holes in the wall.
10. If you make a hole in the wall, fix it. But not with gum and candle wax.
11. Girls, I will happily share my makeup with you. But keep in mind it's far too expensive to waste doing blind make up challenges, doggie makeovers or dressing Charlie in drag. Awesome as it may seem..please, refrain…
12. Boys, I will happily share my tools with you. But please put them back when you are done. I break a lot of shit and need them often…
13. Clear the browser when you use my computer… there are some things a mom doesn't need to know.
14. Stop slamming doors. Every time you slam a door, an angel gets its wings chopped off… think about that!
However, if you are so inclined to actually do something for me on Mothers Day, my sweets, do something good for a Mom in need. Because, despite my bitching and complaining, I know how lucky I am to have Daddy and you guys and I am incredibly blessed to have all I could ever want or need.
This is Jorge… his nickname is Pooty…
and a container of Tang…
Get it?
God, I love my kids…..

This is one of my favourite mazes that I have ever created. Its basically a merger of 3-d vanishing points and a bunch of monkeys jumping around all in a maze. It took me over 20 hours to complete this maze, and it is one of the most popular mazes that I have ever created. Click on the maze to view it in much greater detail.

Maddy's Mixes necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Maddy's Mixes
I have a home-based specialty food business. The products I offer are allergy-free pancake/cake/cookie mixes. I came up with the idea because I have daughter (Maddy) who has severe food allergies, and I wanted to be able to make treats for her such as pancakes, cookies, cakes, etc. The mixes I have created are free of any allergens such as eggs, dairy, nuts, and soy. Currently, my main product is an allergy-free pancake mix. I plan on expanding to include cookies and cakes in the near future.
My target audience is parents with food-allergic kids. I want them to be able to still make homemade treats for their kids even though they have so many dietary restrictions.
I would love a whimsical design with perhaps a girl/kid or a bowl or spoon or combination. Perhaps a silhouette of a kid doing a cart-wheel? In fact, the logo does not even need an image, perhaps just a great font and color combination? How about using a spoon or whisk for the "i" in "Mixes" - or even two spoons to make the "x" in "Mixes"? Or how about an image of a kid licking a spoon? Another option is to spell Maddy with an 'ie' at the end which would give you more spoon and whisk options.
Another idea, as the product has been inspired by Maddy, perhaps some kind of image of her? I included some pictures of her in the files. Although I added some photos, I am not looking for a photo-realistic image of her in the logo. I would prefer a more abstract or silhouette or cartoon-like girl if she is included in the logo.

Great job! I pinned it on my DIY board. :)ReplyDelete
Your candle turned out beautifully! I particularly like those colors, but it would look good in blues, greens, purples, etc also.ReplyDelete
This is so pretty, bright & cheerful. I love sparkly things! It seems like it doesn't make as much of a mess as using glue and glitter. Did you make the candle, too?ReplyDelete

This Week Whine – The Iraq Dilemma and Globalized Ethics
This past couple of weeks has brought to light the very precarious nature of the idea of an Iraqi nation…and it does not look good. We provide a quick historical context for the civil war in all but name that has resurfaced in Iraq. We also look at the UN's Responsibility to Protect…a high point for humanity where we no longer limit people to be citizens of a nation but citizens of the world with rights the global community is charged to protect. Alas, we discuss how Iraq shows the utter failure of the UN, NATO, The US and the global community in general to actualize these rights…to ACTUALLY protect people from military violence.
The New Prostitution Bill…oy vey
In the wake of the Supreme Court striking down Canada's prostitution law, the Harper government has presented to parliament a replaced based on the so called "Nordic Model".
We review the reason the previous law was struck down and how this new law makes matters worse for sex workers. We deconstruct Justice Minister Peter McKay's regressive, paternalistic sexist misogynistic law and the real reasons Harper is introducing a law he knows will be struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada.

- Prostitution bill would make it illegal to buy, sell sex in public

- Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act

The Case to Legalize Brothels
In the previous section, I asserted that prostitution and more specifically brothels were not innately harmful…well, to be a good skeptic…we take a moment to review the evidence out there and see if the proposition – legalizing brothels makes sex work and sex workers safer is justified or just dogmatic.

How Class Works
Based on a presentation given by Richard Wolff, an economist who has studied class issues for more than 40 years.
Wolff explains what class is all about and applies that understanding to the foreclosure crisis of 2007–2011. He argues that class concerns the "way our society splits up the output [and] leaves those who get the profits in the position of deciding and figuring out what to do with them… We all live with the results of what a really tiny minority in our society decides to do with the profits everybody produces." As you watch and listen, consider what we know from research about disease and illness patterns among groups with lower income, more stress, and less control of their lives. Consider how investment decisions in neighborhoods, over transportation, school facilities, parks, location of grocery stores, quality of affordable housing, etc. influenced by powerful interests, affect the quality of life for large segments of the population.
This was produced by the National Association of County and City Public Health Officials (NACCHO) as a part of their Roots of Health Inequality Project. The project is a web-based course for the public health workforce and "How Class Works" is one section of the course.
