I Cant Sleep Unless I Have My Bunny With Me!
Personal Stories, Advice, and Support 13 People
Well, He's Not a Bunny!!I can't sleep unless I have my teddy bear with me. His name is Spike, and I've had him for almost as long as I can remember. I'm 24 now, and do feel a little sheepish sleeping with a teddy bear, but he's my security, and I really can't sleep well without him!!!

My Molly DollI am nearly 40 and I have a stuffed doll named Molly that I sometimes sleep with. Recently, it has occured to me that this is odd behavior for a grown-up. However, I then realized that I do other things which are childish, like (wow, I am glad this is anonymous) I blow bubbles...

RUFC - Ref sends apologies to Millers
Rotherham United received an apology from referee Paul Tierney at half-time on Saturday.
Both the referee and his assistants missed a terrible lunge on Johnny Mullins, which Millers Manager, Steve Evans said was the 'worst challenge of the day'.
'He's an honest guy the referee,' the Millers Boss told MillersPlayer today, 'but the fourth official put him right at half-time. We substituted Johnny at half-time and the referee sent his apologies to us admitting that he'd missed the incident.
'We are grateful that it isn't a nasty one because, we thought he could have tweaked the ligaments in his knee but thankfully it seem to be a lot less than that and he should be fit to play tomorrow.'

Well, it's Christmas season and here we go again. I truly believe in freedom of speech and I do not try to define what that freedom is (unlike those who define free speech as only speech they agree with).
However, it's just perplexing to me that atheists go to such lengths to attack something they don't believe exists. If there is no God, why are you trying so hard to erase Him? Just like my head-scratching over the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which continues to profess being "offended" by something they say doesn't exist — but hey, we have our freedoms, right?
I also thought there was another First Amendment right of freedom of religion and its free exercise — as well as the right to petition your government for redress of grievances. But that doesn't mean you have the right to burn down businesses to express your grievance. But I digress.
Back to Christmas, and the annual assault.
As reported by 5newsonline, a national atheist organization has put up a billboard in Springdale, Arkansas depicting a little girl writing to Santa saying she wants to skip church on Christmas because she's too old for fairy tales (but not too old to believe in Santa, apparently).
According to 5newsonline, "the billboard is part of a "firebrand-style" campaign launched in multiple Bible Belt cities including Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis and Fort Smith, according to a post on the American Atheists website. The group also plans to put up a billboard in Milwaukee. Danielle Muscato, public relations director for American Atheists, told 5NEWS the billboards are aimed at in-the-closet atheists who are pressured to observe religious traditions during the holidays. He said the billboards are to let them know it is OK to doubt the way they were raised and think for themselves."
I don't think anyone is out there pressuring anybody to observe religious traditions — perhaps this is just a ploy by someone who doesn't want to give any Christmas gifts? But seriously, this group wants to put up billboards as some kind of public therapy session?
Hey, no big deal, they have the money so let them put up their advertisements. However, why use the image of a little child? Why are adults spoiling Christmas for kids? I remember writing my letter to Santa and I was always excited about it. And why place these in "Bible Belt" cities — seems this group is purposefully targeting — that gets you a penalty flag in football.
Well, the Christmas billboard wars have begun. According to 5newsonline, leaders of Grace Church in Alma said they plan on putting up a billboard near the atheist advertisement, saying, "Questions, Doubts and Curiosity…All Welcome At Grace Church." Muscato said he welcomes the church's billboard, saying he advocates people being able to think for themselves on whether to believe in any, or no, religion."
Except the billboard is not just about people — it specifically displays the image of a little girl, with a letter to Santa.
"Even children know churches spew absurdity, which is why they don't want to attend services. Enjoy the time with your family and friends instead," said American Atheists President David Silverman. "Today's adults have no obligation to pretend to believe the lies their parents believed. It's OK to admit that your parents were wrong about God, and it's definitely OK to tell your children the truth."
"The group was unsuccessful in one Bible Belt city, though. American Atheists was unable to get their billboard put up in Jackson, Miss. due to push back against the billboard's content from local residents, according to the post. "Area lessors rejected the design due to content," the post states. Muscato said in the website post, "The fact that billboard companies would turn away business because they are so concerned about the reaction by the community to a simple message that not everyone goes to church and not everyone believes in gods shows just how much education and activism on behalf of atheists is needed in the South."
I guess Mr. Muscato seems to believe that we Southerners are just some backwards stupid folks — clinging to our guns and religion." Well sir, we kinda like church and I just gotta tell ya, I grew up down south and never thought churches spew absurdity. At my church today there are plenty of kids who seem to have lots of fun attending.
We all remember the first prayer we learned as children, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep, If I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take."
Now I don't begrudge Mr. Muscato his opinion one bit. But I just cannot seem to understand why he would condone using the image of a child purposefully in this ad campaign? You can bet the next step may be to file a lawsuit against the billboard company in Jackson, Miss. that refused the ad.
This story makes me particularly happy to be flying to Carlsbad, New Mexico today for the Eddy County Mayor's Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning.
I met Mayor Dale Janway of Carlsbad back in May as we rode through his town during the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America. The good mayor and I have maintained contact, and it was an honor to have him ask me to come and deliver the address for his prayer breakfast — hope y'all can come out. And afterwards I get to visit the Carlsbad caverns!
I just pray there never comes a day in America when such an event will not be permitted. I pray that is not the objective of Mr. Muscato, because just as I respect and honor his freedom of speech – despite the confusing intent — I pray he respects my freedom of religion and the free exercise thereof.
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to everyone. After all, even Scrooge had a change of heart.

Any industry growing at a fast pace triggers a spate of acquisitions and mergers. The growth opportunities open up possibilities and an acquisition not only becomes viable but lucrative. It becomes strategically important for certain markets to increase share or for penetration in that market. With the luxury industry declaring very healthy financial results and even stronger forecasts the pace of luxury mergers and acquisitions has more than doubled this year. As against a total M&A worth $2.9 billion in the full year 2010 the figure has already touched $6 billion by May 20 this year. There are several deals in the pipeline that might fructify this year. However, acquisitions are becoming tougher as the companies which are potential targets are also feeling confident of achieving their own targets under the improved business environment and are not willing to listen to offers.
1) Puig bolsters portfolio with Jean Paul Gaultier acquisition
The Spanish group Puig has bolstered its portfolio with the acquisition of Jean Paul Gaultier. Hermès confirmed that it has sold its entire 45% stake in the house to Puig. Puig reported net sales of €1.2 billion in 2010, while net profit was €150 million which is an increase of 57% on the previous year. The new acquisition will give the group greater critical mass in the world of fashion and fragrance. However, Gaultier's fragrance licensing agreement with BPI which runs till 2016 will not be disturbed.
2) Jimmy choo
Jimmy Choo is another high profile brand that has been acquired after being in the sales mode for over a year. Luxury group Labelux is the new owner of the iconic shoe brand for which they reportedly paid ₤500-550 million (approximately $850 million). The addition of Jimmy Choo to their portfolio gives them a wider range and access to a newer segment of the market. Labelux already owns well known brands such as Bally, Derek Lam and Solange Azagury-Partridge among others.
3) Bulgari/LVMH
Bulgari is the 127 year old Italian luxurious jeweler which was till recently controlled by the Bulgari family. In a strategic decision the family has ceded control to the French luxury conglomerate LVMH. It was a no cash deal as the Bulgari family handed over 51% stake of their company in exchange for LVMH stocks. More importantly they will be entitled to a seat on the LVMH board. In order to make Bulgari a wholly owned subsidiary LVMH has made an open offer for the balance share of the company.
4) Trinity bought Italian fashion house Cerruti for $70 million
Hong Kong based Trinity which is a sister concern of consumer goods exporter and logistics consultant Li & Fung acquired Italian fashion house Cerruti in December for $70 million. It already has in its bag the upscale British clothing brand Kent & Curwen through a long term licensing arrangement. Subsequent to the Cerruti acquisition Trinity has raised another $95 million for more acquisitions. Their preference is for high end menswear that matches and extends their existing portfolio. Since their focus market is China their preference is for European brands which are preferred by the Chinese over the American brands.
5) PPR to buy U.S. sports clothing brand Volcom
PPR has been rearranging its portfolio of brands and increasing its focus on sports and lifestyle brands. They already control German sports brand Puma and they have announced their offer to buy all outstanding Volcom shares at a substantial premium. Volcom is known for its surfing-inspired clothing. Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO of PPR had raised 2.4 billion euros by disposing off the African distribution business CFAO and French furniture retailer Conforama. He is using that fund to realign their product and brand portfolio and offerings.
6) Oscar de La Renta, GF Capital Management & Advisors
Alex Bolen, the CEO of Oscar de la Renta took a strategic decision to fund his expansion plans. He sold a stake which is estimated to be around 20% to GF Capital Management & Advisors, who also have investments in Jonathan Adler. The amount paid was not disclosed either but it must have been sufficient to fund Oscar de la Renta's plans to open more stores in areas where their presence is insufficient and add new categories that will make their range of offering more comprehensive.
7) Paris Group plans expansion for Gianfranco Ferré
Gianfranco Ferre has been sold to Dubai-based Paris Group. Exact figures were neither disclosed nor confirmed but estimates put the value of the deal at £8 million. Since February 2009 Ferre has been in negotiation with different companies to strike a deal but nothing had worked out so far. What seems to have swung the deal in favor of the Paris group is their offer to help the Italian label develop its signature brand in-house in Bologna.
8) L Capital Asia to Invest $100 Million in Gitanjali Group the largest Jewelry Retailer in India
LVMH has created a dedicated fund for Asia through its private equity arm L Capital Asia. The fund has a corpus of $650 million and the focus is primarily on the Chinese and the Indian market. Their first major investment in India is going to be the Gitanjali Group, a premium jewelry and diamond brand which they are expected to acquire for $100 million. They are also in advanced negotiation for Genesis Color a major luxury retailer with 125 stores to have a strong distribution and retail network in place to take advantage of the expected growth in the luxury market in India.
9) Flash Sales Website HauteLook Sold For $270 Million To Nordstrom
Flash sales sites have become the most popular concept in the luxury industry with even the big guns of the industry trying to replicate the Gilt Groupe model with minor variations. Nordstrom, the renowned retail chain, decided to take the acquisition route to get into this business. They recently acquired the flash sales website HauteLook. The valuation was done at a staggering $180 million which they paid in Nordstrom stock. In addition to the valuation a three-year earn-out amounting to about $90 million was also part of the high profile deal.
10) Hong Kong's Peter Woo takes 8% of Ferragamo
The Ferragamo group has a long association with their first store in Hong Kong dating back to 1986 and their first mainland China store opening in 1994. The Woo family has been their partner in Greater China for over 20 years now. To further consolidate the fruitful relationship the Ferragamo group has sold eight percent of the luxury clothing brand Salvatore Ferragamo to Hong Kong businessman Peter Woo and his family. This has been done to facilitate the ongoing expansion activity in the Greater China markets to fully tap the growing demand for luxury goods.
There are several other M&A plans in the pipeline which are at different stages of negotiations. Looking at the conditions of the market it is likely that most of the negotiations will result in an acquisition. The companies are flush with funds and markets are offering innumerable opportunities. The companies are looking for best buys and the targeted companies are also looking for the best buyers who can give a boost to their sales but maintain their individual identity.
1)Italy's Yoox open to tech sector buy
Federico Marchetti, the CEO of Yoox, the online fashion retailer had recently told the Reuters luxury summit that they are not looking for a particular acquisition but are open to the idea if a suitable and attractive opportunity becomes available in the field of technology. A technology provider will add to their strength and efficiency. In these times of fast evolving technology, it is important to stay ahead of the others and harness the latest technology innovatively.
2) L Capital Plans To Invest In Genesis Colors
LVMH, the French luxury conglomerate is scouting the Indian market for strategic buys through their private equity arm L Capital. They have zeroed in on Genesis Colors who are a fashion and lifestyle goods retailer with 125 stores in place. More importantly, in a highly regulated market like India they have the exclusive distribution rights for luxury brands such as Just Cavalli, Canali, Kenzo, Paul Smith, Jimmy Choo and more. This is expected to be the first investment of LVMH in India.

At its most basic, beauty begins with a pristine complexion. Whether a nod to the influence of minimalism or a means of directing focus to the clothing itself, bare face beauty was an omnipresent look at the international spring/summer '12 presentations.
This aesthetic trend has evolved in a very polished, subtle direction thatâs most often complemented by boyish eyebrows as well as natural or monochromatic shades on the eyes, lips and cheeks. Variations on the bare look for the upcoming season include an emphasis on a refined semi-matte complexion, monochromatic color, bronzer, bare or nude matte lips, a continuing fascination with brushed-up, masculine eyebrows, graphic shapes on the eyes and slightly toned down â60s-inspired eyeliner.
Though minimal, this highly impactful approach was selected for s/s â12 by several designers who typically opt for more sexy or dramatic styles. Donatela Versaceâs modelsâ (right) fresh scrubbed faces and softly curled, center parted hair were breathtakingly youthful. Other standout examples of this extremely popular and highly accessible trend were seen at Carolina Herreraâwhere Diane Kendal used soft earth tones with muted pink lips for a very pretty and wearable effectâand at Rochas, where the look was complemented with a coiffed up-do that contrasted nicely with the side-parted, low ponytails sported by Missoniâs flesh-toned beauties. (Photo courtesy of Marcio Madeira/firstVIEW)
Designers who deviated from such extreme interpretations of bare drew slightly more attention to the eyes in the form of immaculate lashes and slightly â60s-inspired eyeliner. Jil Sander, whoâs always one of our favorite resources for beauty inspiration, and Dolce & Gabbana both adopted this eye-emphasizing approach with lots of fluttering and, at the latter, seemingly chunky lashes.
At Gucci, Pat McGrath added a somewhat more dramatic impact to the look with a strong, almost graphic monochromatic shape. Models strutted like raccoon-eyed, art-deco punks with Luigi Merenuâs neatly pulled back bleached hair dyed in obvious contrasts of black that were reminiscent of Debbie Harry. At Rodarte, meanwhile, James Kiliardos chose dark ink blue shades for his version of this extremely visual style. On the softer side of the graphic spectrum, Philip Lim 3.1 featured a swipe of silver across the middle of modelsâ eyelids for a surreal effect, while Thierry Mugler offset a bare and slightly contoured look with battery acid green lips and slicked back hair.
While the latter may be slightly extreme for some, the overall aesthetic message is clear: beauty is once again at its most accessible. Choosing an appropriate, wearable style has never been easier.

Georgetown Professor Wants Each White Person to Start Bank Account to Pay Blacks Reparations

Georgetown Professor Wants Each White Person to Start Bank Account to Pay Blacks Reparations
-By Warner Todd Huston
An African American Georgetown University professor thinks that in the face of a lack of government policies each white person in America should start a personal bank account from which they can individually pay blacks reparations for slavery.
Georgetown sociology professor Michael Eric Dyson said that he thinks white Americans should start what he calls an "IRA," or an "Individual Reparations Account," with which whites can save money to then distribute to black people, black organizations, or black charities.
Dyson made the suggestion in a new interview with The New York Times Magazine's Ana Marie Cox aimed at flogging his upcoming race-tinged book, "Tears We Cannot Stop, A Sermon to White America."
In the book Dyson notes that white people need to be penalized for being white, but since government seems unable to levy this penalty, white people themselves should individually start their own "IRA" bank account from which blacks can be paid back for America's "peculiar institution." But Dyson seems oblivious to the fact that the practice of slavery that ended over 150 years ago was paid for by the deaths of over 600,000 Americans during the ravages of the Civil War.

Today We See How Many Un-American Electoral College 'Faithless Electors' Vote Against Donald Trump
-By Warner Todd Huston
Today, December 19, is the day the electors meet to cast their Electoral College votes to actually certify who will become the next president of the United States and if the anti-American left has its way enough of these electors will defy their duty and vote for anyone other than the actual winner, Donald J. Trump. Even if this last second effort doesn't beat Trump, the whole campaign is thoroughly anti-American and can't end well.
Thanks to our horrid system of (mis)education, many Americans are just waking up to news of the Electoral College (EC). Many are surprised over the way we've chosen our president since the beginning. They are shocked that we've never elected our president via the "popular vote" because we are not a democracy. We are a representative republic and the EC is one of the ways we manifest that "representative" part of our system.
What is the EC?
The Electoral College is currently made up of 538 electors. 270 or more of their votes are required to elect a President. Each state's allotment of electors is determined by the number of members in its Congressional delegation which equals one for each member in their delegation to the House of Representatives along with one for each Senator.
Most states now have a "winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the candidate who won the state's popular vote. But Maine and Nebraska currently utilize a variation of "proportional representation."

Today is the Anniversary of When Republicans Outlawed the Democrat Run KKK Terror Group

Today is the Anniversary of When Republicans Outlawed the Democrat Run KKK Terror Group
-By Warner Todd Huston
It is indisputable that the Republican Party is really the party of civil rights, not the Democrats. And today we have one more example of that truism with the 145th anniversary of the Republican Party's essential outlawing of the Ku Klux Klan, the Democrat Party's domestic terror group.
The actions against the Klan stemmed from an outrageous massacre of nearly 300 blacks perpetrated by white, Democrat Klan members in Louisiana in 1868.
On September 28, 1868 — three years after the Confederate south lost the civil war — a mob of marauding whites rampaged through Opelousas, Louisiana and massacred nearly 300 blacks who were Republican voters.
The outrage began when white, Democrat KKK members attacked the white owner of a Republican-leaning newspaper. The newspaper editor, a former school teacher for black students, was defended by several black friends during the attack and this action enraged the mob further sending them on a day-long spree of murder and mayhem.
The attack was so outrageous that the Republican Party acted to essentially ban the KKK. By April 20, 1871, the GOP passed a law banning the oppression perpetrated by the KKK when President Ulysses Grant and Congress passed the Ku Klux Klan Act, also known as the third Enforcement Act. The law established penalties against anyone who tried to deprive any other citizen the benefit of equal protection under the laws of the United States. The law also gave the president the power to use the military to ensure that the rights of blacks were upheld.
This interest in civil rights carried all the way to the 1964 Civil Rights bill that was passed with the overwhelming support of Republicans.

Lincoln Quote That Can Be Used for Freedom of Religion
-By Warner Todd Huston
On August 24 of 1855, Abe Lincoln made another one of his arguments against slavery. But I'd dare say that the logic of his point works to defeat the left's efforts to destroy freedom of religion today, too.
By 1855 Illinoisan Abraham Lincoln had firmly joined the anti-slave element of the Whig Party and he was already developing a reputation as an eloquent speaker against the "Peculiar Institution."
In August he made the argument that having slavery in a nation that is supposed to believe in the freedom and equality of men is a contradiction that makes the belief in equality essentially a lie.
Here is how he once described the dichotomy between a nation that claims to value equality and a nation that supports slavery:

What the Constitution Really Says About Race and Slavery
-By David Azerrad, Heritage Foundation, Daily Signal
One hundred and fifty years ago this month, the 13th Amendment officially was ratified, and with it, slavery finally was abolished in America. The New York World hailed it as "one of the most important reforms ever accomplished by voluntary human agency."
The newspaper said the amendment "takes out of politics, and consigns to history, an institution incongruous to our political system, inconsistent with justice and repugnant to the humane sentiments fostered by Christian civilization."
With the passage of the 13th Amendment—which states that "[n]either slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction"—the central contradiction at the heart of the Founding was resolved.
Eighty-nine years after the Declaration of Independence had proclaimed all men to be free and equal, race-based chattel slavery would be no more in the United States.
While all today recognize this momentous accomplishment, many remain confused about the status of slavery under the original Constitution. Textbooks and history books routinely dismiss the Constitution as racist and pro-slavery. The New York Times, among others, continues to casually assert that the Constitution affirmed African-Americans to be worth only three-fifths of a human being.

Bernie Sanders Went To A Christian Conservative University And Claimed the USA is Racist
-By Warner Todd Huston
Democrat candidate for President and self proclaimed socialist Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders visited a Christian university on Monday and told students that our founders were racists and that the USA is inherently a racist nation.
It is a bit unusual that a Democrat would even accept the invitation to speak to a Christian university, of course, but with his claims that the USA is hopelessly racist, Sanders didn't disappoint from offering the typical anti-American rhetoric that other Democrats indulge.
On Monday Sanders accepted the invitation to speak to a large audience at Liberty University, the college founded in Virginia by Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell, and during the questions and answer segment of the program, the Vermont Senator insisted that it was a "fact" that America was founded by racists and upon racist principles.
Sanders was asked by the moderator what he'd do about the deteriorating race relations in our country if he became president. His reply was typically liberal in its contempt for our founding.

Harvard Prof Excuses ISIS Sex Slavery and Terrorism Because USA Had Slavery 150 Years Ago
-By Warner Todd Huston
I thought liberals were always congratulating themselves on how they are so mentally superior that they see "nuances" everywhere? Now a halfwit liberal is making the lie to that by equating U.S. slavery to ISIS rape culture thereby proving he is an utter simpleton.
A pinheaded Harvard professor is now out there insisting that we shouldn't get too upset over the fact that ISIS terrorists are using rape and sexual slavery as a weapon of war because, gosh darn it, the U.S.A. had slavery 150 years ago, too. You heard that right, that is exactly what Bloomberg columnist and Harvard professor Noah Feldman is saying. He is saying that U.S. slavery is exactly the same as ISIS using rape as a tool.
Feldman starts his facile piece with a lie on his lips right at the outset.
It's been 150 years since U.S. law allowed masters to rape enslaved girls and women. Almost all modern Muslim societies banned slavery in the last century. So why is Islamic State turning back the clock, actively embracing and promoting enslavement of Yazidi women, thereby enabling them to be raped under one interpretation of classical Islamic law?
The first half of that is essentially a lie. U.S. law did not excuse rape of slave women in direct terms in the same way that ISIS is using rape as a tool of war and religious supremacy.
Yes, it was true that negro slave women had no standing in American law during that time period, sure, but it is not true that rape was actually ensconced in that law in certain terms. On the other hand, ISIS is making rape and sexual slavery a directly espoused practice that they are trying to back up via sharia law and interpretations of the Koran. So, the case of early 1800s American law turning a blind eye to the ravaging of slave women and ISIS directly entering sexual slavery into its political and legal codes are not at all the same thing.
There is that "nuance" of which the left claims to have sole ownership. If this nitwit "professor" can't see the truth I just stated, the "nuance" between then and now, then he truly is a simpleton.

Assuming The South Was 'The Confederacy' Is Built on a Lie
-By Warner Todd Huston
When people today say that "the south" were all racist "Confederates" during the civil war you can dismiss them as either historically illiterate cranks, or liars. That's because there was no such thing as "the south" during the civil war. History is more complicated than that and we risk not understanding our own country if we ignore this fact.
When simpletons think about the American civil war they think of "the north" versus "the south." But the truth is there was never any "the south" during the whole of the conflagration. Not for an instant was "the south" fully vested in the Confederate States of America. Instead, as "the south" fought the federal army in multiple places around the country there were vicious internal insurrections and mini civil wars going on all over the place as southerners who supported the U.S. government fought and killed southerners who supported the nascent Confederacy and this fighting was going on in the supposed Confederate states themselves, quite apart from the war proper raging on famed battlefields across the land.
The fact is, "the south" was never fully under the control of the central Confederate government in Richmond (and Montgomery, Alabama before that) and neither were the Confederate state governments able to completely control their own states because of constant internal resistance from their own citizens. There was internecine warfare going on in North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and other southern states throughout the civil war.
Even as the south was never fully vested in the Confederacy, the north was never paralyzed with such consternation. A key to proving this is to look at the volunteers who streamed to the armies north and south. In the north there is only one state, Illinois, that ever had any appreciable southern volunteers.

An Example of How the Media is Lying About the Confederate Flag

An Example of How the Media is Lying About the Confederate Flag
-By Warner Todd Huston
The current flap over the Confederate flag has two very interesting features. One is that the debate over the flag is completely divorced from the incident that supposedly spawned it–the nine murdered in a Charleston church. And two, it is notable for the fact that the media is lying about the flag's history by making the Confederacy out to be a "Republican problem" instead of more properly a Democrat one.
While Democrats and their media lapdogs run around attacking the Confederate flag in support of the nine murder victims of the AME church in Charleston, the fact is the flag has nothing at all to do with the attack. Many have noted that the whole debate is a total distraction, certainly, but it is a distraction with a point and that point is in my second reason for this debate. Clearly the goal is to drum up a fake issue with which to attack Republicans.
One of the more fitting example of this effort to paint Republicans as the Party of the Confederacy is in a Monday piece by The New York Times's Michael Barabaro and co-author Jonathan Martin.
The Monday piece is entitled, "5 Days That Left a Confederate Flag Wavering, and Likely to Fall," and the entire article is a skewing of history in order to foist the controversy of the Confederacy upon the Republican Party–yes, the very party that fought against the Confederacy.
The most revealing paragraph is the article's fifth.

Jeb Bush Calls Southerners and the Confederate Flag 'Racist'
-By Warner Todd Huston
Jeb Bush has now told the entire south that he doesn't want their vote by claiming that the Confederate flag and all who support it are racist.
Bush made his comments on Monday at a campaign stop in South Carolina.
He told the media in Charleston that he has felt that the flag and those who support it are racist since he took down the flag in Florida in 2001.
"The symbols were racist," the Republican presidential candidate said during a campaign stop at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.
"If you're trying to lean forward rather than live in the past, you want to eliminate the barriers that create disagreements, and so I did," he added.
Notice that Bush used the liberal terminology "lean forward" here? Quite telling on how he thinks.

If You Are A Republican Who is All Balled Up About the Confederate Flag, You are a Traitor
-By Warner Todd Huston
This week the left has gone off on another one of its meaningless tangents in response to something wholly divorced from their newest crusade. This time they are suddenly all upset about the Confederate flag. Why? Because a killer is seen in a photo with one. So, OK, fine. The left has its wild eyed tangents, we all know. But what is most infuriating about this particular crusade is that morons who claim to be Republicans are also joining in with this silliness. Certainly those who have should be branded traitors to the center right coalition.
Now, let's get a few historical things straight before we get any further into this slapping down of these useful idiots on the right for being so stupid as to allow the left to–once again–control the entire political narrative. The Confederate flag is no longer an effective symbol of racism. The CS flag is not any more a racist symbol than the US or the British flags.
Of course, while it is true that the CS flag is essentially an anti-US government flag, it isn't an anti-American flag. It is true that it is a flag that opposed the government of the United States but it never was one that opposed the American ideal. It isn't an anti-American flag because as far as the Confederates were concerned in 1860 they were being more true to the original intent of the American founders than the US government was. In fact, their CS Constitution is in most ways just a copy of the US Constitution.
With their claim to be giving more deference to the founder's ideals, the civil war's "rebels" shared a sentiment with the American patriots from the Revolutionary War. Our founders wanted to separate from Britain because they felt that Britain was no longer acting British and had instead become something inimical to Britishness. The founders felt they were being truer to Britishness than were the British back in the mother country. In like style the Confederates felt they were being more American than the federal government and the Yankees.
But it is also absolutely beyond doubt that the CS government's flags (the Bonnie Blue flag, the proper Stars and Bars–which isn't the Southern Cross–the Stainless Banner and the Third National flags) were all essentially racist banners because one of the central tenets upon which the CS government was built was the protection of slavery.
There were several other reasons for the war, mind you, but slavery was foremost. You can make that out as a fact because nearly every secession statement by the southern states issued to explain why they were leaving the union mentions slavery multiple times.

With Ben Affleck Flap, PBS Again Proves it is a Left Wing Shill

With Ben Affleck Flap, PBS Again Proves it is a Left Wing Shill
-By Warner Todd Huston
PBS is not fair or balanced and nothing it does can be trusted. We see this claim fully validated with how the network bent over for actor Ben Affleck's demand that his slave-owning ancestry be eliminated from a recent program tracing the actor's family.
PBS had Affleck on its show "Finding Your Roots" to trace his family history and learn of his lineage. But during the process, PBS discovered that the actor had slave owners in his family tree. Affleck was not having any of that, though, and demanded that the show edit out any of that reality. Affleck didn't want his slave history known by the public.
Instead of retaining its integrity, PBS kowtowed to Affleck's demands and agreed to excise all mentions from the show of the truth of his family tree.
We know all this because of an email hacker, not because PBS reported the truth to the country that pays its bills with tax dollars.

Candidates for Woman on the $20 Bill Features Man hater, Mass Murderer and Advocate for Genocide of Blacks
-By Warner Todd Huston
There is a new campaign afoot that is tickling the interests of the mainstream media. It is an effort to kick President Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill and replace him with a woman. Sadly at least three of the candidates do not belong on the list. One is a famous hater of men, another can only be termed a mass murderer, and the third was an important supporter of the genocide of African Americans. How is it these three women deserve to be celebrated on the $20 bill is anyone's guess.
The campaign called Women On The 20, is, the group says on its website, is an effort to "compel historic change by convincing President Obama that NOW is the time to put a woman's face on our paper currency."
The group hopes to have the change on the money made by the year 2020, which happens to be the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the one that gave women the right to vote.

A Point and Counter Point of US Reparations for Slavery
A Point and Counter Point of US Reparations for Slavery
-By Warner Todd Huston
A recent article recommending reparations for slavery in the U.S. in the Baltimore Sun serves as a perfect platform for a point and counter point on the whole idea of paying reparations.
So, in pursuit of that back and forth, I am going to post the whole article intercut with a counter point.
The article was written by Karsonya Wise Whitehead, Conra Gist–yes it took three people to disgorge this rote nonsense–and titled "The U.S. has yet to make good on its promise of reparations to black Americans."
Conversations about reparations are not about money but about people and about the way that people are seen and valued in our society. These are difficult conversations, and we have found that what is most challenging about the idea of reparations today is the notion that America still owes a debt to black people.
WTH: First of all, the very first sentence is a lie. It is about money. It's about an assumed entitlement that these pseudo academics in "African American studies" have been pushing for decades in an attempt to legitimize their field of "study." When you have nothing to study, you have to invent it, after all.
But secondly, no the USA does not owe blacks anything at all. The USA paid for slavery with over the blood of over 600,000 men and women from 1860 to 1865. That is a debt paid in full. The rest has just been working out the details.

Historical Ignorance: Anti-Gun TV President Claims Slavery is 'In The Constitution'
-By Warner Todd Huston
The faux President of the United States on the ABC TV show Scandal gave one of those typically left-wing TV speeches that is more like an uninformed screed meant to push a leftist agenda than truthful commentary. In this case the actor pretending to be president scorned the Second Amendment and then said incorrectly that slavery was enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
On the TV show, "President" Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) noted that the Second Amendment was "set in stone" in the Constitution, then as an aside said, "So was slavery, by the way."
No it wasn't… by the way. It is a lie the left tells.
In the show the "president's" son was killed in a mass school shooting sending this "President" into his screed.
Here was the relevant part of the segment.

Politico Illustrates Story on GOP Racism With Photo of Democrat George Wallace
-By Warner Todd Huston
To illustrate an article about racism in the Republican Party, Politico dipped into American history and oddly dug up a photo of Democrat segregationist George Wallace.
Claiming that "the seeds of America's dysfunction were planted 50 years ago," and going on to say that "the ugly politics of race had everything to do with it," Doug McAdam and Karen Kloos indulged the decades old liberal claim that the political parties have somehow switched places from 50 years ago. Now the GOP is the racist party and the Democrats are the accepting ones, the authors contend.
Despite that George Wallace was an unreconstructed Democrat segregationist and so were his followers, Politico tars the GOP with the racists and Dixiecrats of the 1960s.

New Nationalized History Curriculum Eliminate Founding Fathers, Teaches Country Built on Hate
-By Warner Todd Huston
Looks like the Obamaites are once again attempting to tech our children that the U.S. is an evil country with new nationalized "history" standards for our schools that eliminate the founding fathers and focuses only on a relentlessly negative interpretation of the birth of the country.
I am late to this story, I know (it is impossible to cover everything, certainly), but this one is egregious, so I just had to hit it. Still, it is of a piece with the way the left is attempting to destroy this country by tearing it down in the eyes of our youth so that they grow up with the left's preconceived notion that this country is evil.
Late last moth documents were uncovered that reveals they way that College Board authors have redesigned the AP U.S. History (APUSH) Framework from a previous five-page, cursory outline that leaves a lot of what is to be taught to teachers and school districts to a massive 98-page document describing in minute detail what is to be taught and more importantly what isn't to be taught.
The College Board, the administers of advanced placement (AP) courses and tests, is unveiling the new scheme for AP U.S. history which is to be given to 450,000 students who take these history classes across the nation.

He's made these idiotic, hyperbolic statements many times, of course–like in the video above from Feb. of this year–But his latest statement was made in remarks to Politico on the eve of the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech.

Slavery Flap Shows Emory University Professors are Morons
-By Warner Todd Huston
Earlier this month the President of Emory University wrote a piece for the school magazine about the efficacy of compromise. By the 24th he was forced to apologize for the piece because he mentioned slavery fully in context in his piece. The faux outrage that his comments caused proved three things: that no one at Emory has any grasp of American history, that the professors at Emory University are morons, and that the student body are utterly unable to employ critical thinking.
The segment that upset everyone was utterly innocuous and cited properly in context by Wagner, without hate or racism. Unfortunately, logic and context isn't what the race baiters of Emory University are interested in, sad to say.
President James Wagner's piece was meant to extol the virtues of compromise and meant his piece to explain that this vaunted compromise was as American as Apple Pie, baseball, and the restl. Pursuant to that, Wagner wrote the following:
One instance of constitutional compromise was the agreement to count three-fifths of the slave population for purposes of state representation in Congress. Southern delegates wanted to count the whole slave population, which would have given the South greater influence over national policy. Northern delegates argued that slaves should not be counted at all, because they had no vote. As the price for achieving the ultimate aim of the Constitution—"to form a more perfect union"—the two sides compromised on this immediate issue of how to count slaves in the new nation. Pragmatic half-victories kept in view the higher aspiration of drawing the country more closely together.
Such as it is, this is correct, straight forward, pure fact. It has not a whiff of controversy to it. Well, it wouldn't have a whiff of controversy if an intelligent, informed person were reading that excerpt, anyway.
Instead of intelligent people, however, we ended up with dolts like Emory history "professor" Leslie Harris, halfwits like "professor" Leroy Davis, and racebaiters like student Jovanna Jones.

Danny Glover's Revisionist History: 2nd Amendment Was for Protecting Slavery
-By Warner Todd Huston
Actor and hardcore progressive Danny Glover should add revisionist historian to his growing resume of left-wing activism after a recent visit to Texas A&M University where he told students that the Second Amendment was mainly meant to keep African Americans in slavery and to kill Native American peoples.
During his January 17 appearance at the university, Glover thought to teach the students attending about the real purpose of the Second Amendment.
I don't know if people know the genesis of the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect, for settlers to protect themselves from slave revolts and from uprisings by Native Americans. So, a revolt from people who were stolen from their lands or revolts from people whose land was stolen from. That was the genesis of the Second Amendment.
This is simple historical revisionism. Slave revolts had yet to become the constant, nagging fear it was later to become for southern slaveholders. There was no such preoccupation in the late 1780s during the debate over the Constitution or in the decades previous to that and it certainly wasn't a cause for northerners to worry.
Glover is completely wrong in every respect.

What We Are Thankful For
-By Warner Todd Huston
Like most conservatives, I felt Election Day was the end of the United States of America. I am not convinced going forward that it isn't, either. But on this day of giving thanks for what we do have, it would be a mistake not to be grateful for the things with which we have, in our good fortune, been blessed. There are things that we should and must be thankful for.
What are those things? What should we be thankful for? Well, certainly there are all manner of things we should be thankful for as individuals. Our loved ones, friends, perhaps our health and good fortunes. But, as a nation, there are many things to be thankful for, even if those things seem fleeting. Granted, there are many things other than what I list below that we should be thankful for. I have no intention of claiming this list is comprehensive.
So, first and foremost, as a nation we should be thankful for our founders' vision of a nation created on the premise of self-government, freedom and liberty.

In yet another facile example of the Old Media equating President Obama's presidency to the greatness of Abraham Lincoln's, NBC News correspondent Kevin Tibbles used the occasion of the opening of the new Lincoln movie helmed by Director Steven Spielberg to do just that.

Tibbles goes to the director himself who gives us a line about why he wanted to do a movie about Abe Lincoln, our 16th President.
"Lincoln advocated things that we hold dear today. He advocated that government can be a positive force for the good of all people," Spielberg said.

Andrew Sullivan: Racist Romney Voters Like 'The Old Confederacy'
-By Warner Todd Huston
On the Sunday, October 28 edition of ABC's This Week, Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Beast claimed that Obama might lose this election because the whole south is filled with racists that are somehow just like the Old Confederacy. As George Will noted, according to Sullivan all the whites that were not racist in 2008 suddenly are racist in 2012.
In a discussion of the "racial gap" in this year's election, Sullivan declared all southerners to be racists and are sliding back into the civil war. "If Virginia and Florida go back to the Republicans, it's the Confederacy, entirely. You put the map of the civil war over this electoral map you got the civil war," he said.
George Will correctly dismissed Sullivan's ranting as poppycock. Will noted that Democrats have been steadily losing the white vote since 1964 and that it has nothing to do with Barack Obama being black.

Did Steven Spielberg Say the GOP is Just Like the Slave Holding South?
-By Warner Todd Huston
As he unveiled his epic new movie based on Abraham Lincoln's civil war era presidency, Steven Spielberg said he doesn't want his film to become a "political football" in today's presidential election. But as he talked about it further, it seemed as if he went on to say that today's Republican party is somehow just like the slave-holding Democrats of the antebellum south.
That's right, Spielberg implied that today's Republicans are just like the old south's racist Confederates.
These comments were delivered during a Q & A at the New York Film Festival on Monday, October 8, after he debuted his new film starring Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln, Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, and Tommy Lee Jones as Pennsylvania Congressman Thaddeus Stevens, a zealous anti-slavery activist.
Mike Fleming reports that Spielberg delayed the release of his film until just after the election in order to keep his work out of the current presidential election.
"I just said, please don't release this until the election is over. I didn't want it to be this political football going back and forth," Fleming reports Spielberg as saying.
Of course, it is admirable that director Spielberg wants to make sure that a film based on history is not abused as a "political football" in today's political contest. Unfortunately, Spielberg, a big Obama supporter, went on himself to use history to make modern political points.
After pronouncing his disdain for abusing history for political points, he did just that, saying:

-By Warner Todd Huston
Before we get any further into this story, I have to warn you that this is not satire. That having been said, Buzzfeed's Zeke Miller perpetrated one of the worst attempts at guilt by association ever made. Miller attempted to intimate that Mitt Romney is a racist because his motorcade drove past private property that had a Confederate flag flying on it as he campaigned in Virginia.
You read that right. All Romney did was sit in a car that drove past a Confederate flag and that was something that Miller thought was "news."
Miller made this trenchant observation on his Twitter feed on October 5.
Romney motorcade just passed a hill flying a large confederate flag in rural SW VA
Wow. Imagine, driving past a Confederate flag in a state that makes millions in tourist money off its intimate connection to American history! Imagine the sheer luck of finding a Confederate flag flying in the one state most associated with the Civil War! Why, the absolute craziness of finding a Confederate flag flying in the state that hosted the Capitol of the Confederate States of America!
What are the chances?

Rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd Denounce Then Support The Confederate Flag
-By Warner Todd Huston
After forty some years of prominently featuring the Southern Cross flag of the old Confederacy as part of its schtick, suddenly the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynrd is denouncing the banner claiming it is a symbol of racism.
Sole surviving original band member, Gary Rossington, explained why the band was dumping its long-time use of the Southern Cross flag (often mistakenly called "The Stars and Bars") in an interview with CNN's Fredricka Whitfield in an episode of the cabler's Face to Face entertainment segment.
It became such a issue, you know, about race and stuff, where, we just had it, in the beginning because we were southern and that was our image back in the 70s and late 60s because they kinda branded us from being from the south so we showed that.
But I think through the years, you know, people like the KKK and skinheads and people have kind of kidnapped the Dixie or Rebel flag from the southern tradition and the heritage of the soldiers, you know, that's what it was about. And they kinda made it look bad in certain ways. So, we didn't want that to go to our fans or show the image like we agreed with any of the race stuff or any of the bad things.
Bandmate Johnny Van Zant went on noting that they all grew up "loving the old Blues artists," and other black musicians and they "just didn't want to be associated with that particular (racist) thing."

CNN's History of Democrat Party Forgets Jim Crow, KKK

CNN took the time just ahead of the Democrat National Convention to put together a little primer on the history of the party and, while they do mention slavery as a prime issue in the party's early days, no mention is made of its support of Jim Crow, Japanese Internment, or the Ku Klux Klan.
The CNN Explains video only lasts a few minutes, so it is impossible to do a comprehensive history of anything in such a short time, certainly. Even so, the video had a few serious omissions and at least one misleading factoid.
The video begins properly relating the fact that the first President to call himself a Democrat, Andrew Jackson, was a "fierce" supporter of slavery and worked tirelessly to keep the government in Washington out of the people's business in order to assure the rights of slave owners.
While it was quite right for CNN to note that the Democrat Party began as one chiefly interested in protecting slavery, the video somehow forgets to mention that the Democrats were also responsible for starting the Civil War — the first shots were fired by Confederate forces, after all. Additionally, the video forgets to mention that even after the civil war the Democrat Party sponsored such racist attacks on fellow citizens as Jim Crow, poll taxes to suppress minority voting rights, Japanese internment during WWII, not to mention creation and support of the Ku Klux Klan.

MSNBC Commentator: Hey, Biden Talking In Black Dialect Didn't Mean He was Talking about Blacks!
-By Warner Todd Huston
Proving that nothing so painfully obvious as Joe Biden saying that Republicans want to bring back chattel slavery can't be spun away into meaningless babble, MSNBC trotted out Joy-Ann Reid on the August 15 broadcast of News Nation with Tameron Hall to prove it could be done.
On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden perpetrated yet another one of his near daily gaffes at a rally in Danville, Virginia. His comments drew sharp criticism from Romney, Republicans — any clear thinking person should be aghast at Biden's remarks , really — and this prompted MSNBC to cast about to find some way to obviate Biden's clear context into something that would reflect badly against Republicans instead of Biden and Obama.
In Virginia Biden said, "Look at what they value, and look at their budget. And look what they're proposing. [Romney] said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks write their own rules — unchain Wall Street."
Biden next lapsed into street talk, or what some might call black dialect, dramatically saying, "They're going to put y'all back in chains."
Why, what ever could ol' "Sheriff" Joe mean?

Evil Confederate, German, Nazi, Racists Invades Mind of The Atlantic Writer

Evil Confederate, German, Nazi, Racists Invades Mind of The Atlantic Writer
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Atlantic's Yoni Appelbaum has a troubled little mind. He seems to be an excitable sort, too. I say this because during this 150th anniversary of the American Civil War he strangely sees evil Confederate, German, Nazi, racists at Civil War events. He might want to see a therapist about this. Either that or he's just another left-wing writer that is striving so hard to find something, anything, to write about that he's put aside common sense and instead decided to illicitly impute any manner of absurd motivations to Germany's Civil War reenactors. You know, because he wants to be considered the thoughtful type, because this sort of tripe is what passes for intellectualism in journalism.
Appelbaum's article on Germans that reenact the American Civil War is entirely absurd, of course. He imputes all sorts of motives, dark and evil, to a mere hobby. He sees shadows of low and dangerous undercurrents to this pastime and desperately tries to tie a plethora of evils into the harmless fun of dressing up as a soldier from some 150 years ago.
Appelbaum finds that many Germans reenact the American Civil War in Germany as Confederate soldiers and this troubles him. He notes that Germans that reenact the American Civil War as Confederates are play-acting contrary to their own pre-WWII cultural history because few Germans fought for the South in the conflict. In this he is correct. But after getting one thing right, Appelbaum launches off into paroxysms of agonized fantasy. One gets the feeling he is not writing to explore truths but is writing to get the knowing and concerned nods of other wacky leftists like himself.

Wash Post's Cohen: GOP Should Compromise… Like They Did With Slavery?

Wash Post's Cohen: GOP Should Compromise… Like They Did With Slavery?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Richard Cohen is what passes for an opinion editorialist in the Washington Post — not a learned one, just a bloviating one. Cohen's latest, "The Myth of American Exceptionalism," is at the same time as self-loathing as it is historically stupid. Not only does this nonsense Cohen ladled out upon us all serve an example that you don't have to actually know anything to be in our modern Old Media establishment, but it is evidence that the profession of editor is long dead.
In his ten paragraphs Cohen indulges every left-wing trope that one can find. Whites are all racist, we don't do enough for "the poor" in America, Christianity is the root of all evil, and it all started in the 1850s when the Republican Party was born. Most ridiculously, Cohen a-historically seems to think that the art of compromise died in American politics when the GOP was born. This last bit alone is guffaw worthy to say the least.

JERSEY CITY (Dec. 10)
The American Jewish Congress regional executive here adopted a resolution denouncing compulsory Sunday observance laws as, "violating the principle of religious liberty by compelling persons to adhere to a law, the motivation and operation of which is basically religious."
The resolution which will be forwarded to Gov. Meyner and members of the State Legislature declared: "Religious liberty is an indispensable aspect of democratic freedom and indeed the very foundation of American democracy. As a nation of people attached to many different religious faiths or to none, we owe our survival and our unity to the universal acceptance of the uniquely American concept that the relationship between man and God is not and may not be subject to government control or regulation.
The American Jewish Congress urged members of the Legislature to adopt amendments to any Sunday observance law," exempting from the operation of those laws, persons whose religious convictions compel them to observe a day other than Sunday as a religious day of rest."

About Preventive Medicine / Wellness
Preventive medicine or preventive care consists of measures taken to prevent diseases, (or injuries) rather than curing them or treating their symptoms. This contrasts in method with curative and palliative medicine, and in scope with public health methods (which work at the level of population health rather than individual health). Occupational medicine operates very often within the preventive medicine.

Further instigating the dissension amongst Uhra's people is the recent Magic-Industrial Revolution, which saw the innovation of Magic Energy (technology) beget advancements such as a monorail and swift taxis. Just like modern technology, breakdowns can cause more trouble than they're worth, and a problem at the Great Staff, a mysterious structure built by Uhra's most powerful magician, requires looking into by Kaim and his growing party.
Kaim picks up a few stragglers before setting out to the Staff: female Immortal Seth, a former pirate, and Jenson, a man whose passion for booze is bested only by his love for women.Adding to Kaim's party also opens new combat possibilities, arguably the most useful of which is Formation. Characters can be placed into Front or Back lines, with those in Back protected by the Front's Guard Condition: the sum of all Front characters' hit points.So long as the party has GC points remaining, all characters in the Back take less damage.One obvious strategy is to put spell casters in the Back Formation to keep them out of harm's way.
Immortals can't be killed, but they can be KO'd. They will automatically revive after a few turns, but this doesn't mean players should allow Kaim and other Immortals to take all of the heat.As in any turn-based RPG, those characters still left standing will be subjected to all the abuse, so make sure to keep Immortals healthy even though they can always get back up.
Lost Odyssey is breathtaking to behold.From the flagstone streets and magical monorail in Uhra to the snaking mountain paths and sharp, rain-soaked precipices leading to Great Staff and beyond, Hironobu Sakaguchi's newest world feels vibrant and alive.Though the camera can't be rotated while moving, traversing the various paths of Odyssey is mostly simple and elegant, allowing strategic combat and a fascinating narrative to hog the proverbial spotlight.
Come this February, Lost Odyssey will be found. Sakaguchi's latest adventure is almost here, and it looks poised to deliver on the hype.

Toasting and then grinding whole hazelnuts leads to an enhanced flavor which makes this hazelnut streusel loaf cake a special treat.
I had hoped to make this recipe for hazelnut streusel loaf cake days ago. It's been a while since my last post. And the one before had also been later than usually. This is not me moaning and telling you I have a creative break down or I lost my writing juices. In fact, my creativity is overwhelming recently and I wrote several brilliant posts but just in my head. You may wonder what I am up to and I will tell you.
I am painting! Watercolor or oil painting? Nope wall paint in fact. We are going to move into an old but nearly new place in Atlanta, which needs some tender loving care. I had to omit the jacuzzi and the walk in the refrigerator but I still have a long list of wishes. Unfortunately, every budget has a limit. DIY painting sounded like a good option to save some bucks for fulfilling some of my dreams from my wish list. So far I am happy with the results. Some of those days I would rather sit in a cubicle, sipping coffee and hide for a while, rather than rolling, rolling and rolling color all over the walls. But at the end, seeing a day's work makes me appreciate my future home even more. Even if I fell asleep way too early, missing out reading time for books and blogs and taking pictures.
And where went all the genius blog post in my head? Gone! Maybe scrubbed away with all the paint on my hands, face and hair. Actually, I blame the paint fumes. But after I got knocked out at night, there is nothing left of them next morning.
In fact, cooking and food had been on the back bench for some weeks. I am still eating, lordy eating is not the right word, renovating makes me inhaling whole cows. But I haven't thought about food that much, usually I have food on my mind all day long, I mean all day, every hour, every minute. One of the rare occasions I was not attached to a paint roller, searching for perfect toilet bowls or looking for a tile that I might still love in a couple of years, I went for cookbook shopping. Yes, I still haven't found a cure for that. I came across Home Baked Comfort (William Sonoma) by Kim Laidlaw. It was the title that let me grab it, so inviting and magnetic. Paint came into my way again and I saved the first reading until I knew I would have heaps of time and not be interrupted. The first time is the best, don't you thing? So it took a while but after I finished a great deal of colorful bookmarks decorated the top of the book. Although I already know baking all of them would be a 500.000 calories journey, I started with hazelnut streusel bread (page 62) and changed it to my liking. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
- for the streusel:
- 30g / 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 80 g / ⅓ cup turbinado sugar
- 55 g / 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 100 g / 3.5 oz. whole toasted* hazelnuts
- for the batter (all ingredients at room temperature):
- 60 g / 2.1 oz. whole toasted* hazelnuts
- 3 tsp. instant espresso powder
- 100 g / 7 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 160 g / 5.6 oz. granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 160 g / ⅔ cup plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
- 200 g / 7.1 oz. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. fine sea salt
- 100 g / 3.5 oz. (½ cup high-piled) white chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 175 C / 350 F and grease or line your loaf pan 9 x 5 inch (ca. 23 cm) .
- Add all ingredients for the streusel except the nuts to a midsize bowl.
- Add all (160 g / 5.6 oz.) whole nuts to the bowl of your food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Spoon 100 g / 3.5 oz. to the bowl with the streusel mix and stir until combined and set aside.
- For the batter continue pulsing the remaining nuts in the food processor until finely ground, remove and add to a big bowl.
- Dissolve espresso powder in 1 Tbsp. water.
- Add butter and sugar to the food processor and blend until creamy. Add eggs, dissolved espresso and yogurt and continue blending, stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and pulse just until combined.
- Pour batter to the finely ground nuts in the big bowl, add white chocolate chips and stir shortly.
- Add ½ of the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle with ½ of the streusel, top with the other ½ of the batter and remaining ½ of the streusel.
- Bake 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out without crumbs clinging to it.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Add more espresso powder if you prefer more coffee taste, 3 tsp. are just enough to enhance the flavor of the nuts.

Advocacy & Lobby
- Details
- Parent Category: ROOT
In as far as Zimbabwe and most of the world's countries have ratified Conventions and Instruments on the rights of the girl child, not much has been done in terms of implementation of those rights. It is TaLI's cause to create a safe place for the girl child, to advocate and lobby for policies, laws and instruments that ensure the protection of girl child. Advocacy and lobby would be done through song, poems, in workshops, in collaboration with likeminded organizations, coalitions and bodies as well as our funding partners.
To date, TaLi has participated in the following events in its Advocacy and lobby efforts; Constitution Making Process with special interest in the girls' issues, through partnerships with the Women's Coalition of Zimbabwe(WCoZ), Road Map to Elections; demanding a safe and secure space for the girls during elections also through the WCoZ, 2011 International Women's Conference where we participated in the Peace Building cluster, International Women's Day which had a special interest on the education of girls, The ongoing National Gender Policy review; with special interest in the Justice Delivery system where the current law is encouraging rape as offenders are given a US50 bail.

'Arsenic and Old Lace' Revisited at the Franklin Opera House
- Published in Community Announcements
FRANKLIN — Franklin Footlight Theatre proudly presents the ageless and energetically funny comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace" by Joseph Kesselring at the Franklin Opera House.
There will be four performances: Thursday March 20th through Saturday March 22nd at 7:30 p.m., and a Sunday March 23rd matinee at 2 p.m.. Ticket prices are $14 for Seniors (over 55) and Students, $16 adults, and can be purchased in advance through the Opera House website, www.franklinoperahouse.org or by calling the box office, 934-1901.
The production features the talents of Jennifer Simpson, Doug Embree, Ben Heath, Robbie LaFlamme, Sean Jordan, Suzanne Banister, Jennifer Creasey, Colin Malette, Peter Heath, Gary Evans, Howard Amsden, John Masse, Paul Smith, and Vince Ribas. Also contributing their artistic skills are Chris Schroeder and Amanda Chance designing and building the Victorian set, Lori McGinley costumes, Sue Bitteto props, Dan Darling lighting design, Mark Bitteto stage managing, and Leigh Webb, producing and directing.
This wonderful 1940's comedy is an hilarious play of nobly motivated but somewhat misguided (and definitely illegal) deeds of two lovable sisters, complemented and complicated by the quirky personalities of the entire family. The show's timeless humor and familiar story will be sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of patrons, who understand the value of community-based entertainment and its ability to showcase understated talent.

Corelli's Mandolin
Although our site is very popular, the current economic climate has reduced our revenues just when we need extra security to prevent attacks from hackers who don't like what we do. If you think what we do is worthwhile, please

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.
[more �]
MPAA Rating: R
Italian soldiers invade the Greek island of Cephallonia
during WWII, and Captain Antonio Corelli (Nicolas Cage), an Italian officer with a jovial
personality and a passion for playing the mandolin, falls in love with a Greek woman
(Penelope Cruz), the daughter of the village doctor. She slowly warms to the charming
invader as they are forced to share her father's home, but then the humorless Nazis invade
the island too. . Also with John Hurt, Christian Bale and David Morrissey. [2:07]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A man and woman kiss passionately, undress (we see the
woman's bare breasts and the man's bare back) and make love (the man kisses down the
woman's chest and they roll back and forth caressing each other). Several bare-breasted
women romp on the beach with soldiers (the women are referred to as prostitutes), and we
see them again lying on the beach. We see a nude man from the back and several partially
clothed men as they wash and shave. A man and woman kiss passionately while swimming in
the sea, a man kisses a woman deeply, a man and woman hug and kiss each other, a man and
woman kiss goodbye a few times, a man kisses a woman briefly, a woman kisses a man on the

buttocks exposed. We see a woman sleeping in a slip a couple of times. We see bare-chested
men in several scenes; one man is fishing, one man is on a doctor's examining table,
several men are on a beach. A woman asks a man to dance and they do so suggestively.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A group of soldiers are lined up and shot with machine
guns repeatedly; we see them jerking as they are hit and see their blood-soaked bodies
several times. A man is shot in the head and blood sprays out of the wound. Four soldiers
are shot repeatedly with machine guns; we see their bloody bodies lying dead. There are
scenes of war which show many people being killed, people panicking and property being
destroyed by an attacking army: bombers fly overhead dropping bombs as they are fired upon
by anti-aircraft guns and a gun turret explodes. We see many men being shot and hit by
bombs and shrapnel, a man is shot in the leg and he screams in agony, and we see a bloody
hand dangling, there's a bloody wound shown a few times (we can't really tell what it is,
but it's big). A bomb explodes in the middle of a town and everything goes quiet. A man is
shot in the back as he runs. We see a very bloody man on a makeshift operating table, a
man is covered with a rash which leaves open wounds in his skin and his feet are swollen
and bloody (a woman remarks about the stench). A woman is taken away by two men while
she's screaming, and she's accused of being a traitor; we see her hanging from a tree with
a sign around her neck. A man and woman are forcibly dragged from their home and we hear
the woman being shot after seeing a soldier holding a gun to her head. We see a group of
wounded soldiers (limping and bandaged) coming off a ship and hear a description of the
terrible conditions they have endured (freezing temperatures and a lack of food). A bomb
explodes; rocks are ejected in a huge plume and we see a few men with bloody scratches. A
group of soldiers is surrounded by other soldiers with guns drawn and cannons pointed at
them. We see the military occupation of an island (by sea and air) a couple of times;
soldiers rifle through houses breaking things and push people around (and we also hear
that they are killing people). An earthquake turns a city to rubble; people run through
the streets screaming and we see a house crumbling; a man is inside and he has blood on
his face and nose. An officer threatens to destroy a town if the officials do not
surrender. A man gives his daughter a pistol and tells her to use it to protect herself,
or use it to kill herself if she has to, and a man asks another man to shoot him. We see a
man sobbing uncontrollably when he sees his son's name on a list of dead soldiers. A
cannon filled with stones is fired and a man is hit in the buttocks; we see him jumping
around and yelling. We hear a man asking how long someone has been deaf and he asks for a
fish hook and a hammer; we then hear a banging noise and see a decayed pea after it has
been removed from a man's ear. People lie on the ground and shake and quake as the icon of
a Greek Orthodox saint is passed over them (presumably to heal them). A woman yells at and
smacks her son. We hear several radio reports of ships being torpedoed. A woman threatens
a man with a gun, and a man jokingly threatens to shoot a man.
PROFANITY 5 - 3 F-words, 2 mild obscenities, and some name-calling and
insults. [profanity glossary]

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
