I dream about these things...
I'm so excited to go to London in May. I have submitted my paper work to get my green card change so that it shows my married name. It's kind of a waiting game at this point. I got a letter saying they received my application and money, so that's a good first step. Now I have to wait for another letter that will give me the date and time for my biometrics appointment. This is where they will take my finger prints etc.
So, thinking about my trip to London, I realized there are some things that I need to buy before I go. Things that I will need in order to be prepared for my travels. And here they are:
Bose noise canceling headphones, $299.00
I don't know that I could bring myself to spend this much on headphones, but they would be a great investment.
When traveling on a plane for 10 1/2 hours, the best thing you can do is sleep. I have a tough time with that because of the different noises in the cabin. These range from the guy 2 rows up snoring to the kid behind you kicking your seat and screaming at the top of his lungs that he wants his Pokemon game.
The other big noise annoyance is the sound of the plane itself. It's a low humming that is constant and the volume of the air swirling around the cabin can give me a headache. I know that sounds ludicrous, but it's the truth. It sounds like you're going through a wind tunnel, and 10 hours of that is not fun.
Pamela Barsky Luggage Tags, $12 for 6 of them.
I usually just tie a color ribbon to the handle of my case, but these will make it even easier to find my suitcase in the sea of black.
Plus, it will let people know that my bag isn't their bag.
Ray Ban Aviators, $99.00
Ok, so I have these in black already, but gold just reeks of international adventures.
Jules Smith, $247.00 I do realize that I have already posted this delicious necklace in "things I'm lusting over" but this is a perfect piece to wear during my whole trip.
It's fun and funky and cheeky and also kind of feminine and sexy, so I wouldn't have to bring a ton of jewelry with me and decide what I was going to wear every day.
Christian Dior Frames, $250.00
See above
Eugenia Kim $215.00
Calm down, I know it's totally overpriced for a hat. But what you have to understand is that Eugenia Kim is kind of a legend in the hat world.
They are beautifully made, fit like a dream and are flattering on almost anyone. The pattern is festive and is a perfect hat to wear while wondering the streets of London, cruising Camden Town and noshing on some fish and chips.
Steve Madden Bregatta, $175.00
I heat this bag so much for many different reasons.
It's a classic camel color, which is timeless. It's got great hardware, which makes it visually stimulating. And it's roomy without being out of control huge. It even has a long strap so you can wear it as a messenger bag if you want. This would be my perfect carry on bag. Sleek, stylish and plenty of space for my Ipod, book and all the other stuff I like to lug around with me.
Gap, $198
This is a gorgeous leather jacket. It's not your usual black run of the mill. Not that there is anything wrong with that, because of course there isn't. Every woman should own a black leather jacket.
But this is something special. It's soft and buttery and the color is calming and classic. I like the fact that it looks like it's been worn in already and has some history behind it. Love it!
Mac Cosmetics, $50
This travel set of brushes is perfect for traveling.
It has everything In need without having to bring the kitchen sink.
Inhabit, $84.99
A warm cashmere scarf is a must as it can get quite crisp while walking to the bus station.
I like the color of this one because it reminds me of toffee.
Whew! I guess that's kind of a lot of things huh?
Too bad I'm not having a birthday or Christmas or winning the lotto before I leave on my travels.
I would love love love to have all the things I talked about above because I really think they would make this fabulous trip perfect!
But let's talk reality shall we? I can't go out and buy all this stuff. So I will have to pick just a couple of items.
But which ones will make the cut? Which are absolutely necessary for me to have in my sticky lttle hands before I board that flight in 3 months?
Ok, maybe not necessary for me to have, more like which ones I love the most.
Decisions, Decisions....

Incidentally, a friend mentioned the game almost every time we met, for almost a year. I finally looked into it and he was right. It is a blast. Now my children all love to play. I have this time sink on three computers and two iOS devices.

Sanctuary State
Hoeber Calls MD HB 1461 SAFE Act "One Step Closer to Making Maryland a Sanctuary State
Rockville, MD – Amie Hoeber, Candidate for Congress, issued the following statement: "I am appalled and outraged that Delegate Aruna Miller would support protecting criminals from further prosecution by supporting Maryland House Bill 1362 which is benignly being referred to as "The Safe Act." Simply put, this bill is intended to offer shelter to those who are already in the criminal justice system – known criminals – and treating them on par with otherwise law abiding immigrants."
The bill directs the Maryland State Police to shield known criminals from being investigated for other crimes by coordinating with federal law enforcement agencies.
"We need cooperation with all levels of law enforcement. All State agencies should comply with Immigrations Custom Enforcement (ICE) the same way they would comply with any other Federal Law Enforcement Agency," stated Hoeber. In 2014 Montgomery County implemented a policy at the local level that restricts ICE detainer compliance. As a result, what we have seen in our county is that gang violence and recruitment activity has increased to the point that the Montgomery County Police Department in 2017 formed a special unit to deal with the growing MS-13 problem.
"Our Montgomery County States Attorney John McCarthy said in 2017 that "MS-13 has been implicated in up to 18 murders over the past two years in Montgomery County." Based on this, Ms. Hoeber says: "I do not believe HB 1461 will make our state safer; it will do the opposite, which is why I oppose this proposed legislation."

Matthew 25: 31-45
It is Christmas Day! How rarely we are in this place on Christmas Day. When our children were growing up, Mary Ann and I thought it was only right to celebrate Jesus' birthday. So we would come on Christmas Day even when it was not on a Sunday, and give everyone else the day off. From 1986 -1999, our family left presents at home, put on some of our new clothes, and came to greet, read a Christmas story, be the "choir," and be fellowship hour hosts. A volunteer pianist joined us.
Well times have changed and here we are on a full service Christmas! But the tradition of sharing a Christmas story has not left me. Last week I told the story of the Legend of the Poinsettia. Last Christmas I told the Story of the Candy Cane. Last night I shared the book "Three Christmas Stories" and read one of the stories. And today for the children I read the short children's book "Starry, Starry Night." Last week Lester Holt's Inspirational story on NBS was about a librarian who, every week, would pack a bag with different children's stories, and go to places in his community just to read stories to children. He believes it fosters their understanding of language and fosters their imagination. And they hear a good book read to them! Now I want to share a story with you today, a story that encapsulates God's Gift at Christmas. Before we turn to Matthew 25, I want to reference Luke chapter 10. There was a man of the law who asked Jesus: "What should I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus asked him back: "What do you read? And he answered: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." Jesus said, "You have answered right; do this," Jesus said to the man as he says to us, " and you will live." Do this and you will live. Then Jesus launches into—what else?—but a story. It was the story of the Good Samaritan and how a man who was not expected to care for a beaten man at the side of the Jericho road actually took care of him. "This is your neighbor too," Jesus was implying. Love God; love neighbor. In the First Letter of John, chapter 4 verse 8, we find, in fact, that God is love. And John, in his gospel, said that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The Word that came into the world was Jesus Christ. Professor Emeritus Dale Bruner from the College of Wooster put it this way: "The Word became flesh and moved into our neighborhood." How, or where, might we see Jesus around us? This Christmas I have a story that illustrates that point. In the later half of his life, Russian author Leo Tolstoy—famous for huge works like War and Peace and Anna Karenina—had a spiritual awakening and began to write faith stories. Perhaps you wonder how Tolstoy could write such a gospel story, but he did. This, in summary, is it. It is found in the original form in a book called Where Love is, There God is Also, and in the children's book Martin the Cobbler.
Once upon a time there lived a man who, as he grew older, wanted to get his spiritual life in order and get closer to God. He had had two death experiences that made him bitter for years: the death of his dear wife and then the death of his only son. Martin was a cobbler, a shoemaker by trade, and he had lived in his town for years. He knew nearly everyone in town and could even recognize them by the shoes they wore! You see, he had made or repaired most all of them. His little shop was in a basement room that was below street level. The only way he could look outside was through a high window, and then he could only see the shoes of those who walked by. One day he complained to a friend saying: "I have no desire to live any longer. I only wish I could die. I am a man without hope." "You don't talk right!" his friend chastised. "We must not judge God's doings. The world moves not by our skill, but by God's will. And you are in despair because you wish to live for your own happiness." "But what should I live for?" asked Martin. "We must live for God," his friend replied. "He gave you life, and for his sake you must live. When you begin to live for Him, you will not grieve over anything, and all will seem easy to you." And then, like the lawyer confronting Jesus, Martin asked, "But how can one live for God?" His friend said, "Christ has taught us how to live for God. You know how to read; buy a Testament and read it; there you will learn how to live for God. Everything is explained there." Well, Martin took his friend's advice and began to read the Gospels. God changed his life as he read about Jesus. He felt joy and peace; the only thing he wondered was if he might know and recognize Jesus one day. He fell asleep fitfully, Bible in hand, and awoke in the night. "Martin, Martin!" he heard a voice cry out. He awoke with a start, but saw no one. "Look for me tomorrow Martin, for I am coming!" the voice said. Martin still saw no one. In the morning he awoke. It was just another day. He got up, said his prayers to God, had a breakfast of Cabbage soup and gruel, and went to his shop, not thinking much about what he heard. Soon he heard the sound of scraping outside, and he looked out the window. Stephan, the street cleaner, was shoveling snow off the street outside his shop. "Oh," Martin thought in dismay, "It's just Stephan … not Jesus." Then he noticed Stephan was looking particularly old and worn out as he stopped and rested from his heavy work in the bitter cold. Martin went to the door. "Stephan!" he called out. "Come inside for a bit and warm up! I have some hot tea and food I can share with you!" Stephan gladly came in and felt better sitting by the small fire, drinking tea, eating a bit of salted beef, and talking with Martin. "Thank you Martin!" he said. "I'll be on my way now.
After awhile Martin heard a commotion outside. Soldiers were walking by. Then he noticed a shabbily dressed woman and her infant daughter, neither of whom had enough clothes to keep warm. "Here dear lady!" he called from the door of his shop. "You and the child come in for a minute. You look frozen!" "We are," said the woman as she and her baby came in. The child seemed to have a cold: coughing and shivering. "I haven't eaten in a while," the woman said as Martin give her some tea, and then reached his pantry to give her some food too. She then added, "This is all I have to wear." The woman started to nurse the baby. Martin remembered an old coat he had in his closet. He went and got it, then wrapped it around the woman and her child. Tears' filled the woman's eyes as she said: "God will bless you for such an act of kindness. Thank you! Thank you sir!" Soon she left too. "It's been a busy day so far," thought Martin. He noticed he was behind in his work. He went about catching up. Late in the afternoon he glanced out the window. He noticed a woman across the street carrying a basket of apples she had apparently just bought from a vendor. As she walked by, a young boy started to run past her and he grabbed one of her apples. The woman caught his sleeve. "A tussle ensued, but the woman held fast. Martin dropped his tool and ran out the door. "You young thief!" the woman said to the boy. "You'll not get away! I'm taking you to the police so they can arrest you!" "Just a minute," Martin said, a bit out of breath. He turned to the boy. "Young man you were stealing ;stealing from this poor woman I saw you do it. Tell her you are sorry and ask her to forgive you!" "No!" the woman said, "He's going to the police!" Martin said gently to her: "Please? If he apologizes, won't you forgive him this time? I will take him with me and talk with him about what he did." Just then, the boy burst into tears. "I'm sorry lady. Real sorry." The woman still wanted to press charges, but Martin said: "God has forgiven our sins; we are to forgive the sins of others." The woman started to give in under Martin's insistence. As Martin was ready to take the boy with him, the boy said: "Lady, you are old and that basket is heavy. Let me carry it for you and we'll walk together. I am really sorry. What do you say?" As they walked off, Martin watched as the woman began teaching the boy about his choices. She seemed to take him under her wing. Martin went back to his shop.
Ad the end of the day before he left for home, he opened his Testament and read one more time. He was wondering about the voice that had awakened him the night before. Suddenly he heard a commotion behind him. He looked, and an image of Stephan appeared. "Martin!" a voice said. Didn't you recognize me? It was I." "And it was I" said another voice and the woman stepped forward with her child. "And it was I" continued a voice and the boy stepped forward with the old woman. Then the images vanished. Martin wondered about what he had just seen. His eyes fell on the page where he was reading: Matthew 25: Suddenly he understood, and his heart rejoiced! The words on the page said: "For I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was a thirst, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye came to me …. Then his eyes fell on the last line: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me." Love is God's gift at Christmas. We love, because God first loved us. Love one another with hearts and eyes opened. You may be meeting angels, or your Savior, today.

It was great to head out of Taipei yesterday, if only to briefly escape the media frenzy whipped up over AP and CNN reporting of vice president Annette Lu's press conference in which she announced she'd be standing for her party's nominee as President.
I briefly got caught up in the coverage...mistakenly identified in the press conference when I asked the v-p a question. Wish the local media would check their facts...and behave more responsibly.
Anyhow, yesterday, visited a lovely lantern festival in Chiayi. The special thing was part of the event was given over to some artists, allowing them to express - mainly using local materials - their view of a very traditional festival. It was really beautiful.

race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet." -- Grantland Rice
The bet is the atom of winning poker. Betting units are made of chips, but a chip is like an electron, nothing on its own. The bet is
the individual building block on which you must construct your game.
But bets are easy to misuse. A bad call here, a poor fold there, a raise missed here, a missed bluff there... you can choke a whale on
ways to misuse a bet. Poker is a card game, but winning poker is a betting game. Unfortunately for most players, they focus on their
cards more than their betting -- even though a commonly recognized standard for successful poker is to win one bet an hour.
One of the problems with starting hand charts
or count systems are they (by themselves) don't offer a player a clue to the different ways hands play. Maybe both Starting Hand A and
Starting Hand B should be played, but they should be played dramatically differently. Some hands earn their profit early in a hand,
while some hands show their profit by being more bettable in the later betting rounds.
As I discuss in Omaha Poker Strategy, hand bet-ability is a crucial
aspect of the game. Players who play crappy starting cards find themselves with mediocre, un-bettable hands. They make two small pair, baby flushes
and idiot-end straights -- hands that may be winners but are usually not bettable, especially out of position. (One reason it is better to play hands
from late position is because some mediocre hands become more bettable.) You should be playing hands that can drive the poker betting, hands that you
can extract more value from.
Consider this Omaha HiLo hand, head-up between two players. On the turn card, the board is Jh6c8d3d. One player holds 8s7c5d3h, while the other
holds Ad2dKdTd. Notice each player has exactly six cards with which to could scoop the whole pot. The hands are equal, right? Heck no.
The 8753 is almost never bettable, while the A2KT is extremely bettable. When it comes a diamond, and the A2KT will scoop the pot, it
will bet 100% of the time -- and often get paid off by the 8753. On the flipside, suppose the last card is the Ac. The 8753 will scoop
the whole pot, but the hand is not bettable at all. It has very weak high value and very weak low value. It happens to be good enough
to win, but betting would normally be foolish. The A2KT has the nut hand both ways, and has a fearless bet. So, the A2KT will make the
best hand the exact same percentage of the time as the 8753, but the A2KT will make money while the 8753 will lose. Betability makes
all the difference.
But that is not even where the difference ends. Except when it comes an offsuit 8, 3, 9 or 4, the 8753 will not be bettable, while the
A2KT will always be bettable -- which will mean that the 8753 will fold a winner some amount of time greater than zero, tipping the
$$$ scales even more in favor of the A2KT. Even if the A2KT player is concerned about getting quartered and will bet cautiously, he
will likely bet when the river card comes a King or Ten, so to get its equity out of the pot, the 8753 will have to call these times.
It will also have to call when it comes a Jack, crippling his two pair, and when it comes a Seven or a Five, counterfeiting its low and making a straight
very possible. Even though these cards don't make the A2KT the winner, they offer the A2KT the ability to sometimes win the pot merely by betting.
The bottom line is the 8753 will almost never get an extra bet, while the A2KT will always be able to make an extra bet, and will win
some amount of pots beyond that when it bets and the 8753 folds. Two hands with an equal chance to win are not in fact equal.
A similar Holdem example is the classic confrontation between Ace-King and a pair of deuces. It's close to 50/50 if both hands go to the showdown,
but AK destroys 22 in actual play because of it superior bet-ability.
You don't win in poker by winning pots. You win by
mastering the wagering of atoms.

Seth loved this picture. He had so much fun drawing the monsters for the whole series, and though the gorilla is not in the same vein as his made-up monsters, this picture in particular tickled him. Once again, the cover image is not actually a moment in the story, but rather an expression of the threat that is felt in the story--terrifying, but not too serious.

Heart Medicine Monopoly Restrained in Nevada
RENO, Nev. (CN) – Up to 10 cardiologists can join competing practices without being penalized for breaching employment contracts, after Nevada sued Renown Health, claiming it had 97 percent of the cardiology market in the Reno-Sparks area.
Renown Health acquired Sierra Nevada Cardiology Associates in late 2010 and Reno Heart Physicians in March 2011, making it the employer of 97 percent of the physicians who provide cardiology services in the Reno-Sparks area, according to the Nevada attorney general's federal complaint.
After the acquisition, Renown required all its physicians to sign noncompete agreements barring them from practicing cardiology in the area for 2 years after leaving Renown.
"As a result, Renown Health has eliminated head-to-head competition in an already highly concentrated market, which increases the likelihood of higher prices for cardiology services," Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto said.
Cortez Masto said in a statement that Renown Health violated state and federal antitrust laws, and that the consolidation "increased the bargaining power of Renown Health."
In its own statement, Renown said that it "employed physicians in the groups as a way to help keep them in our community," and that "the goal of the arrangement was (and is) to enhance quality, improve services and retain physicians in our community."
The public has 30 days to submit comments about the settlement to the Federal Trade Commission.
Renown's cardiologists must remain with Renown until the consent order is finalized. Then they have another 30 days to leave without penalty.
At least six doctors must leave during the 30-day period to satisfy the conditions of the settlement, the attorney general said. If less than six decide to leave, the exemption to the noncompete clauses will be extended indefinitely.
Under the agreement, Renown must notify the attorney general of any plans for acquisitions that affect cardiology services in Nevada. It also must implement an antitrust compliance program, and pay $550,000 for investigative fees and other costs, the attorney general said.

It was a dark and stormy night… Technically, it's not dark yet but it's been a very windy night. We've had gale warnings and there's a small craft advisory out on the Sound right now. The rain seems to have passed but it was a good day to be inside!
Tea for two… or seven. My priest invited me and some of her other mom friends to a "mothers' survival tea" today and it was wonderful. There's a tea room on the second floor of a granary in the downtown area and it was a nice and intimate location for lunch. I had a lovely Caesar salad for my first course while others had a zucchini-pear soup or a casoulet. The tea sandwiches were excellent and the chocolate zucchini bread was excellent. I was bummed to have to leave early to go to a therapy appointment!
Grades are in. I have a solid 4.0 (all A's, no A- at all) for the third straight quarter! I'm applying to be a tutor next year in my department because I loved working with my classmates in various subjects.
I never thought I'd have to post this… However, we had a mass shooting at the local mall and a police shooting in December. (The injured policeman lived though he's now blind.) So… here's how to help a shooting victim before EMS arrives.
And for my troll, friends of mine who teach gun safety (including a few LEO's) are quick to point out that people with concealed weapons are not helpful in this kind of situation because they add to the chaos and end up getting shot themselves.
Bad behavior. I've seen two instances of bad behavior in the 36 hours since the shooting in Alexandria. One was Newt Gingrich being interviewed and ranting about the radicalization of the far left. Yeah… the ones who have been fighting for gun control? Nice try.
The second instance of bad behavior was someone commenting that the Republicans deserved for this to happen because of what they've been doing to this country. Ummm… no. *NOBODY* deserves to be shot or to be in a place where someone opens fire.
One of the students from my entering class at UCSC was Gabby Giffords' director of community outreach Gabe Zimmerman and was killed at that event where she was shot by Jared Lee Loughner. He was in a different residential college than I was so we're not sure if I had any classes with him but he was friends with some of my friends. When Congressman Scalise was shot, Gabby was one of the first to speak out and her statement was powerful. Let's follow her example and come together over this.
To infinity and beyond! I'm excited to see these 5 new female astronauts.
Some more levity. Because there are *TOTALLY* first world cat problems!

A topic of interest this week – giving proper credit to photos and images used on blogs.
Chelsea of {frolic!} is of the opinion that "Not properly crediting photos is incredibly disrespectful to the photographers and the people who created the images… I know most people aren't trying to be mean or disrespectful but just aren't aware."
I agree with Chelsea. I'm guilty of not crediting images – especially in my early days of blogging. But as I personally delve deeper in to the world of photography, I'm understanding and appreciating the importance to giving proper credit to the photographers and artists whose images I use.
Jess of Epheriell shares how she will be 'taking it up a notch' with her image crediting and also shares "a really useful tool… tineye.com" – a Reverse Image Search tool, which I have started using as well.
Caiti of Life is a Canvas focuses on Pinterest – a virtual pinboard 'where you can create collections of things you love' – and has "come up with a list of "better practices" for Pinning".
Personally, I've recently attached a Creative Commons Licence to my photographs that I post on the blog.
Why? It's not that I'm overly concerned about others using my images. It's just (in the ideal world!?) it is the right thing to do, to show your appreciation for the beauty that talented photographers and artists create. So…
What is Creative Commons?
'Creative Commons (CC) is an internationally active non-profit organisation that provides free licences for creators to use when making their work available to the public. These licences help the creator to give permission for others to use the work in advance under certain conditions.' ~What is Creative Commons? Factsheet
Instead of trying to go in to detail here about how to properly credit images, I'm going to instead provide links to the informative factsheets (where it's already done!) on the Creative Commons website.
How to Attribute Creative Commons Materials
Finding Creative Commons Material
Choose your Creative Commons Licence
While I know these links won't ensure that bloggers do the right thing and give their fellow artists credit where credit is due, it is my small way of contributing to the education and awareness of how we can do the right thing.
So, are you fellow-blogger, prepared to do the right thing?

Read John 6:1-13; Mark 6:30-44
He (Jesus) said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. John 6:5b-6 NIV
* * *
Nothing that Jesus did while on earth was just happenstance. Jesus said to the twelve, "You give them something to eat." (Mark 6:37) When everyone was fed, they were able to gather up enough for a basketful each for themselves. They served the bread, but it cost them nothing, and they had their own needs supplied. This is significant in light of Philip's protest; "eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!" (John 6:7)
* * *Lord, more often than not, I sound just like Philip. I see only the practical facts, and the impossibility of the situation. Help us to trust You for our daily bread, and for all other needs we may have. You lord, are the Bread of Life and You know our requests even before we ask; but You did tell us to ask. I am asking You this morning, to provide for our financial and spiritual needs.
* * *After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. John 6:14-15 NIV

This Fund Outshines the S&P

Focus: FUNDS
Investors looking for diversification among large-cap stocks would find little to quibble about in this fund, says Russel Kinnel of Morningstar FundInvestor.
It's tough not to have confidence in FMI Large Cap (FMIHX). Lead manager Pat English and his team look for strong and durable businesses trading at reasonable valuations. With that comes a contrarian mindset. They look to buy stocks whose prices are suffering and sell into strength.
The managers run a concentrated portfolio of 29 stocks, keeping a watch list of attractive companies they can buy when their prices dip. They're also patient investors, targeting a holding period of one to five years. A few of the fund's holdings have been in the portfolio for close to a decade.
The fund's concentrated nature means it courts more issuer-specific risk than does its average large-blend peer. One of the fund's bigger single-name bets in recent years, though, has been one of omission.
Not owning Apple (AAPL)—4% of the S&P 500 and nearly 5% of the average large-blend fund—weighed on 2012's relative performance, given its 33% gain last year. The managers tend to shy away from technology companies because of cutthroat competition and short product cycles, so Apple has never appealed to them.
So far this year, as Apple's stock price has slid more than 16%, its absence from the portfolio has been a contributor to the fund's top-quartile 11.4% year-to-date gain through March 31.
Still, some of the fund's longtime holdings, including top ten holding Kimberly Clark (KMB, 3.8% of assets as of December 31), don't appear as attractively valued to the team today. However, in the absence of more attractive opportunities, the managers argue it's a well-run, financially strong company that should continue to hold up well in a low-growth environment.
Over time, the team's patient and disciplined process has been rewarded. Its 8.0% annualized gain since its December 2001 inception through March 31 outpaces the S&P 500 and large-blend category average by an annualized 3.2 and 3.9 percentage points, respectively, with less volatility.
It's been consistent, too, landing in the top quartile in more than three-fourths of all rolling three-year periods since inception. All told, investors are in good hands.
Editor's Note: The top three holdings in FMIHX (as of March 31) are 3M (MMM), 5.43%, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), 5.29%, and Bank of New York Mellon (BK), 5.27.

Chiles Rellenos Casserole
- Makes: 4 servings
- Prep: 20 mins
- Bake: 15 mins 450°F
- Cook: 3 mins
- 2 large fresh poblano chile peppers or fresh Anaheim chile peppers (8 ounces)
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno chile peppers, shredded, or shredded Mexican-style four-cheese blend (1-1/2 cups)
- 2 ounces crumbled Cotija cheese (1/2 cup)
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart square baking dish; set aside. Quarter the chile peppers and remove seeds, stems, and veins.* Immerse peppers in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain. Invert peppers onto paper towels to drain well. Place the peppers, cut side up, in prepared baking dish. Top with cheeses.
- In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk. Add flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Beat with a rotary beater until smooth (or place in a food processor or blender; cover and process or blend until smooth). Pour egg mixture over chile peppers and cheeses.
- Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until a knife inserted into the egg mixture comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
From the Test Kitchen
Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

Cabbage is a «surprise»
When the guests offer this salad, everyone is surprised how I managed to grow such a beautiful red cabbage. And I modestly smile and keep silent, that I'm so marinel ordinary cabbage!
I gladly share my secrets with all readers.
Cabbage (2 kilograms) is mine, I remove the top leaves, large shin. Beetroot (2-3 pieces) is cleaned, cut into small cubes.
Carrots (3-4 pieces) I clean, I cut figuratively.
Garlic (1 — 2 cloves) is cleaned and cut into slices.
Ginger (20-30 g) rub on grater.
In a saucepan, lay the prepared vegetables in layers.
The top layer is cabbage.
I prepare marinade: boil 1.5 liters of water, add 9 tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of salt. Brine I bring to a boil, pour two tablespoons of acetic essence and pour cabbage.
I press the cabbage and leave it for 3 days.
I mix the prepared salad, tightly spread it over the sterilized jars. I close the capron, adhering tightly with lids and lower it into the basement.
