We Know We're Nuts, What's New
Since moving to Phoenix three years ago, I've been working for my husband's firm - and my husband is my boss. Here is a pause ______ for you to swallow that holy-shit in your throat. See, when we decided to move here, I had to leave my Fortune-500 career-type-job because it wouldn't transfer down here; his firm threw me a bone and I've been torturing my hubs from 8-5 ever since.
At this point, almost everyone who hears this says "are you NUTS?" - because people just cannot fathom working with the person they married. On one hand, I understand their contention. On the other, I don't get it - I mean, if you can't work-it-out with the person you married, of all people, then how the heck do you manage to work out a marriage of all things, which is a tad more complicated than the workplace? Just curious. So, I'm always a bit struck by the fact that people are JUST DUMBFOUNDED by the fact that we can work together - and 90% of the time they say "I could NEVER, ever work with my spouse, NEVER!!" - am I the only one who finds that a strange oxymoron?
Now, this is not to say that the marriage sub-language does not make it into the office. Oh no, it is insidious - no matter how hard I attempt to snuff it out. And, I think my husband is a saint; I think the saints should come marching in at any point - on any given day, seriously. I fully admit to being a total pain in the ass on some days - there, it's in print - and he loves and adores me nonetheless. At the office, I think there are 3 major "looks" from the marriage sub-language that he has to deal with on a regular basis:
1) Look #1: "I'm on the internets, probably very busy researching who is on Perez Hilton - what could you POSSIBLY want that's more important, but OOPS I also shouldn't be doing this" - so, this look is a mixture of irritation, guilt, and "I love you, honey!".
2) Look #2: "I have PMS, so you may as well grab ALL of my nerve pathways in a bundle, pour kerosine on them, take a lighter, and torch them - because anything you ask me right now will feel 1 billion times worse than that" - this is when I hate working with any human being. But my husband? OH, he loves finding out the hard way just when THIS look is coming to the table, LOVES IT.
3) Look #3: "These are my teeth in a fake smile and yes I'll do that for you because we're at work right now, but if we were at home, you'd kinda be in trouble right now - but we'll have to talk about it later." This look can also be in combination, or following, Look #2. Poor fella.
Believe it or not though, we actually really do enjoy working together. Except for that PMS thing. Plus, he loves the fact that I bring baked goods in for the office almost weekly. Maybe that's why he wants me around. Maybe that's the only reason, actually, now that I think of it. He's actually rather obsessed with my baked goods. Now I feel used for my baked goods. He should double my salary, that ingrate. What am I, a caterer? Well, I'm getting off track here...
Anyway, so before I tell you about my recent sugar high, do you think you could work with your spouse, partner, love-dub, significant other? Or, are we indeed just nuts, per usual?
Soft Sugar Cookies
This is a recipe from my childhood. It's weird, because I thought these cookies were SO fantastic when I was a kid, almost heavenly; now, I would describe them as a good soft sugar cookie. I amped up the vanilla, of course. They're kind of a tangy, cakey, soft, singular-note, sugar cookie. They'd also be nice with a bit of glaze on top and would do well with the addition of almost any other flavoring that blows your hair back. So, if you're in need of a simple, sour cream based, soft sugar cookie - this is your baby, baby.
1/2 c. butter, room temperature
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sour cream
3 c. flour
Preheat oven to 375F and place baking rack to middle position. Place parchment or silicone baking pad on baking sheet, set aside.
In large bowl, using electric mixer - combine butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, thoroughly combine. Add salt, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and sour cream - mix until combined. Add flour and mix until just combined.
Drop by tablespoons onto baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart; sprinkle generously with sugar. Bake 8-10 minutes, just until bottoms are light golden. Place on cooling rack. ENJOY!

I think you're nuts! Although I did meet my husband at work, and we got moved apart because we were 'disrupting the office' by joking around too much! I think we could work together, but it would be really stressful!
- October 6, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Awesome that you are able to work with your husband...I agree, why wouldn't you if you could? And thanks for the great recipe, it seems like one I can actually do.
Though our blog is something quite different in spectrum, yours was refreshing to read. Don't read Perez Hilton...read us...we're better.

I actually laughed when I read that your husband is your boss - no swallowing of holy shit necessary. Because I think - I mean, I'm sure you're a good employee, and all - you just strike me as kind of bossless, if you know what I mean. Like - you are *choosing*, that moment, for him to be your boss, but at any moment, you could choose otherwise. It seems like more of a game.
I've never understood how people couldn't work with their spouse, either - but, of course, it still surprises me how so many parents don't want their kids around, too.

Hey Ann - yes, you are nuts. NO FRIGGIN' WAY would I work in a professional environment with the spouse. (1) I like the idea of bringing new material home, and there's no new material if you had kinda the same day. (2) hate commuting together - need the time by myself in the car. (3)power struggle, power struggle, power struggle. like what dharmamama said.
That said, we work on projects together all the time - remodeling and such, and haven't killed each other yet . . . .
Cookies look divine!

I once worked with a boyfriend. We didn't work well together, and that is why he is not my boyfriend anymore ;)!
He should totally give you a rise! Those cookies must be worth it! But again, nobody really deserves PMS looks, so maybe you should call it even!
- October 6, 2008 at 2:45 PM
Oh I would totally love to work with my husband *but* I would have to be the boss. Just like at home... :)
I think the ideal situation would be for him to be self-employed so that I could steal time away with him whenever I wanted. SO selfish, aren't I?

I completely agree with you... I think we might be the minority in this department though. I JUST had this conversation with my BF the other night.. if this is the person you are opting to spend the rest of your life with, you should be able to get along all the time, right??
Ps - I HAVE to make these cookies. The BF craves a soft chewy sugar cookie with a texture similar to those mass-made ones (subway, grocery store, etc)... this these ones are similar, or do you have another suggestion? NONE of my MANY attempts have been up to par.

I met my ex at work and became his boss (sort of). Hmmm, I wonder if that is why he is my ex? I could work with Mr. Monkeygirl although the kissing every time we left the room would probably get annoying to our co-workers!
- October 6, 2008 at 5:28 PM
My husband and I actually have this conversation a lot. He says he would love it if we worked together because then he gets to spend more time with me (awwww...lets see if he feels that way in another 10 years). I tell him that it would be nice, but I have a feeling that if he were to tell me to do something, I'd glare at him and say, "Excuse me? Don't you dare tell me what to do. I cannot believe you would talk to me like that!" Haha.
- October 6, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Let's really be honest here, Look #2 is daily not monthly.
The fake smile look will almost certainly make me find something in the office that will require me to work late.
Look #1, well.. look number 1 is cute and frankly, it is a free pass to place any task in front of you. In fact, a weeks worth of tasks that could not be transferred during look #2 or 3 are now given a pass to land in your office. We love look #1 and your baking!
You are forgetting look #4 which is priceless: It is the look when a solicitor enters the office and thereby declares himself the lowest form of life on this planet by demonstrated they can't read the sign on the door that says "NO Soliciting...EVER".
I almost feel sorry for the fool that springs that trap.
In all seriousness, I can't work with my wife :) Let me repeat that!
Wife. (loved SNL this week)

Would I work with a girlfriend or wife? I don't think it'll be a problem, as long as we have breathing room. Much like hanging out with friends, sometimes "buffers" are needed, like human shields. They could protect against the 3 death stares you girls give, which strip the retinas from my eyes.
Just kidding, no but seriously :)

My hat's off to you, dear one.
I worked with a long-time S/O but in a different location until AFTER a rather unpleasant break-up. Then we found ourselves working together in the same building. One of the best days of my life was him appearing in my door after I'd received a big promotion and posing this question: "Does this mean you're my boss now?"
"Why yes, it does."
I was professional about it and never abused that though. Well, maybe once ...

Oh I could totally work with my husband. So long as I was his boss.
I think I would love that to pieces.
- October 6, 2008 at 11:41 PM
for a genius like you who cooks like a goddess, he should definitely double your pay :) awww. i think being able to work with the person you've married shows how strong tht marriage is. don't be fazed! x

i hope your coworkers (and boss) are a lot more appreciative of your goodies than the folks at my workplace. :)
oh, an dkudos to you for not taking advantage of the fact that your husband's the boss and goof off every day. :)
- October 7, 2008 at 9:25 AM
Could I hypothetically work with my spouse? Of course, I'm calm, cool, and collected.
But could I work with my actual spouse? No. But not because of me, of course, but because she would stick to looks #2 & #3 almost the entire time.
Plus, I have a hard time working with someone who is illogical.
How many paragraphs can I put in this comment?
I'm happy that you are back to the blog. Over a week is much too long to have to wait for a new post.
I guess I'll let you go and shit.

I gotta tell you... sugar cookies are my favorite. I'm weak just looking at them.
Okay, so I don't see there being any trouble with you and The Man working together. You just seem like the perfect couple -- you're obviously deliriously happy and if the rest of the world can only stare slack-jawed at the thought of you two working in the same office -- well screw 'em.
You rock.
Like KISS.

You know, I would hate to work with my husband, but that's only because I know how he is at work. He's not good at playing nice with the other kids. He always takes the wrong side in any situation. And he has a really bad habit of talking shit to the wrong people. Had I known of this horrible side of him before I married him, I likely still would have married him. I was sick then. Now that I'm "better" I'm stuck.
I wish I had a husband that I would love to work with. I envy you. You and those soft Sugar Cookies.
- October 7, 2008 at 3:01 PM
If i had a husband, and if I loved him, which presumably I would or why else would I have married him, except for maybe the money because this economy is killing me, then yes. I would want to work for him, too.

This is so freaking amazing! Ann quit reading my mind. I work with my "love dub" and I am his boss. Eeek. Well, no one even knew until Sunday when I had a complete melt down. Not couple related- work related and he hugged and kissed me. And every found out. Eeek. Thank god I was off Mon, Tues, and Wed. because I am kinda nervous about going back. We just talked about this tonight and he said no one asked or said anything. I'll let you if I enjoy working with him on Thursday.

Ooh, sour cream in a cookie recipe? Interesting! Fab post as always. Sounds like you have a pretty good thing going at work...but the colleagues who get to eat your baking have it even better :)
- October 9, 2008 at 3:33 PM
I can just picture the two of you! You really "work" together so well on so many different levels--soul mates, I'd say.
Never could I work with my husband! I don't even think we could raise a kid together, so it's a good thing we had kids from previous marriages and that they were teenagers when we met. Given all that, we'd both say we have a wonderful marriage and are deeply in love. I can't explain it, I've just been living it for 14 years. I guess every relationship is unique.
As for the cookies, now those are cookies I know I could agree with every single day! Sugar and sour cream are a perfect storm. Why, oh why, did Tony have to leave the Minneapolis office just when he was going to marry you! Yeah, you should be getting paid at least double!

I posted more of that there story start that remains untitled. I'm hooked on it. It's like crack -- only I don't feel like a genius or have super energy (I'm told that's what crack does to you... or is that coke?). Anyway, enough of my dorky drug references. I can't pull it off. I was on debate for God's sake.
Yeah, so I'd love your input you creative love, you.

First timer here! This is gonna be a tad long but....
First my parents owned a furniture store so they worked together until they sold the building and store. I remember one day Mom coming home early. When we asked why she was home already she said Dad had fired her.The next morning she refused to go to work, said she was going to be a stay at home mom. That lasted a day until Dad wised up and apologized. (She might have held out for a raise too)
I also worked with my Honey for years. It was tough though more so for him as I was around to witness guys being guys so he had to mind his P's & Q's. It didn't help that I was the exc assistant to his dept which meant he (& all the other guys) took orders from the director through me most times.
Okay, now on to the cookies. I'm not terribly fond of sugar cookies but yours look great! The sour cream I think makes them for me. Thanks for the recipe!

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Outgoing Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is looking to pardon long-dead rocker Jim Morrison who was convicted of exposing himself at a raucous 1969 concert in Miami.
Morrison was lead singer for top 1960s rock act The Doors and a Florida native. He was appealing the indecent exposure and profanity conviction when he died in 1971 in a Paris bathtub at age 27.
Crist told the St. Petersburg Times Tuesday that the more he looked into what happened that night, the more he thought it was right to seek a pardon. Morrison was fined and sentenced to six months in jail but never served that time.
A jury in 1970 convicted Morrison of indecent exposure and open profanity, though he was cleared of a more serious felony count of lewd and lascivious behavior and public drunkenness. He was sentenced to six months in jail, but died two years later in Paris while the case was under appeal.
Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
Philip Seymour Hoffman withdrew a total of $1,200 from an ATM at a supermarket near his New York City apartment the night before he was found lifeless in his bathroom with a syringe still in his left arm, sources told NBC News.
- NYC mayor will skip St. Pat's parade over gay ban
- Indiana man back home 18 years after abduction
- 32 states in the path of another wild storm
- Judge vows quick ruling on Va. marriage ban
- Hoffman withdrew $1,200 hours before death: sources
"I've decided to do it, for the pure and simple reason that I just think it's the right thing to do," Crist told The New York Times. "In some ways it seems like a tragic conclusion to a young man's life to have maybe this be a lasting legacy, where we're not even sure that it actually occurred. The more that I've read about the case and the more I get briefed on it, the more convinced I am that maybe an injustice has been done here."
A message left by The Associated Press with Crist's spokesman wasn't immediately returned.
Crist, a Republican-turned-independent, lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat earlier this month.

UConn and the ACC: The One That Got AwayPosted by Chris Kehoe on April 4th, 2014
When the most recent jumble of conference realignment was underway, the ACC squarely targeted the Big East for its newest conquests. Commissioner John Swofford wanted to add programs that were strong in the revenue sports of football and basketball, holding distinctive geographic locations that would open up the conference to new fans and marketing possibilities. The ACC won out in a big way, snagging prominent athletic programs at Syracuse, Louisville, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh from the old Big East. While these programs are have had varying degrees of success in the sport that drives realignment, Notre Dame is the only football name brand (and the Irish retained their football independence). So while the current athletic landscape is shaped by the financial juggernaut that is college football, the ACC locked up some of the country's most elite basketball programs.
So while the ACC may have sought greater football legitimacy as its primary goal, the league also landed two massively successful basketball programs in Syracuse and Louisville. As a result, the ACC may very well have positioned itself as the basketball conference of the future, made up of most if not all of the best programs up and down the East Coast. That is, with one notable exception. As the league plundered the Big East, it may have made a drastic mistake from a basketball perspective. The ACC left behind a basketball powerhouse in its own right, Connecticut, a school that all but pleaded for entry into the ACC and a Final Four participant in a season when no conference team made it past the Sweet Sixteen. Recall the silly preseason talk about how the ACC was supposed to be 'the best ever', and it leaves you wondering if the exclusion of a program like UConn was the right move. The basketball program based in Storrs has had continued and sustained excellence in the sport over a long period of time, winning the national title three times since 1999 (as well as 2004 and 2011), and putting 13 players into the NBA as lottery picks since 1994. Few programs can match that record.

|Luscious Dulce de Leche Cheesecake
Years ago, ( probably 23 ) my daughter was in a confirmation class and, I was one of the mom's that volunteered for several of the events they were having for the group. During this time, I met a lovely woman, who would eventually become my friend. Together, we started a dinner club. Our original group had 6 couples and, we would meet once a month. We always planned a theme that we would follow. We would break into two groups and each host would pick the menu together. They would then pick a recipe for a dessert and an appetizer to assign to each guest couple. Both houses served the exact menu. Through the years, we have lost members and gained some. We are now four couples! The rules have loosened quite a bit but, we still try to meet every few months. The host still picks what they would like to serve. However, now when they assign the others to bring a dessert or appetizer, the person assigned gets to choose what they bring.
Saturday night, we were getting together for one of our dinner parties. I was assigned the dessert! I decided to make a "Dulce de Leche Cheesecake". Dulce de Leche means "sweet milk". It is a traditional dairy product from Argentina. It is used as a topping for ice cream or fresh fruit. In this delicious dessert, it is used to give the cheesecake a delightful caramel flavor. You will need to have a can of dulce de leche, which can sometimes be bought in the ethnic part of your grocery store or homemade. My grocery store did not have any, so I bought a can of sweetened condensed milk and made my own. There are different processes for making dulce de leche, the easiest being boiling the can of sweetened condensed milk. It is important to keep the can covered with water during this process, because the can could explode! I use a big soup pot and put the can into it and boil for at least 90 minutes. Keep adding water as needed. After the can cools for about 10 minutes, open and scoop into a small bowl to cool completely. I like to make it a day ahead and not open the can until I am ready to use it. Here is a link to different methods on making Dulce de leche. They do not recommend the boiling can method that I use but, I have been doing it for years and have never had any trouble. This cheesecake is easy to make but does have several steps. For the crust I used dulce de leche maria cookies made by Goya. They really complimented the cheesecake and made a delicious crust. After you mix the cheesecake, take out 1/2 cup of the batter and put into small bowl, then add a 1/2 cup of dulce de leche. Pour the plain cheesecake batter onto the baked crust. Drop tablespoons of the dulce de leche batter onto the plain cheesecake batter. Then, with the tip of a knife swirl it into the plain batter before it is baked. This was truly sinful and was a big hit with our dinner club. Hope you'll give it a try. You won't be disappointed!
- Preheat oven to 400°F. (200°C)
- Mix crust ingredients together and press into the bottom of a lightly buttered 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- Reset the oven to 325°F. (160°C)
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour together mix well. Add the vanilla and beat until smooth. Then add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Beat until smooth. Add half and half and mix until well blended.
- Measure 1/2 cup of the cheesecake batter into a small bowl and add 1/2 cup dulce de leche and mix well until combined.
- Pour plain batter over the crust. Top with rounded tablespoons of dulce de leche batter and gently swirl into plain batter with tip of knife or spatula.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove from oven and let cool 20-25 minutes before covering and placing in the refrigerator. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving. Serve this with dulce de leche sauce drizzled over the top of each slice or on the plate. You can also pass around a bowl of the sauce so that guests can help themselves.

Because publishers are trying desperately to keep e-books away from libraries, LaRue is hoping to develop a relationship through e-reading devices that connects libraries to those who can self-publish important books. In other words, he wants to hit the publishers back a little and give readers at his libraries more information.
Keeping libraries open has become a big issue in the five boroughs. Maybe, through what we see in other states, we can limit library hours and still make books available to people.
New York City has more pull with publishers than smaller towns in states like Colorado. The major publishers are in New York, and our market for their books is bigger.
Our city officials should be able to broker a deal where e-books can be temporarily used by library members. The future of our libraries is not in danger, but has to change to a more electronic environment. We never want to lose the actual brick-and-mortar library. But if we have to save money, we should find a way to keep the books available in some other form.
Lastly, and more importantly, there has to be a way to get free e-readers to public school students. I have written about this before. If we can get big discounts on e-readers for public school students, it would be giant leap forward.
This is the kind of innovation that will lift our most troubled schools out of despair. If we can expose students to all of the books that college students can get – and without them having to enter another drab public building – we could expose students to things that are bigger and better.
This is why we have a government: to think ahead and improve. If we are going to fix our beleaguered public school system, part of the answer has to be that we utilize the wonderful alternatives out there.
Heard Around Town
What do rank-and-file Republicans think of John Catsimatidis as their potential nominee for mayor?
Some of the more established are still not won over. Others, however, seem to be okay with the idea of an entrepreneurial candidacy. They feel it has won before (see Michael Bloomberg in 2001, 2005, 2009) and perhaps it can happen again.
What some may have forgotten, however, was that it was hard for Bloomberg to win in 2001. He spent a lot of money, he was running against an unlikable opponent, and he still barely won.
Catsimatidis, should he be the nominee, would face the same uphill battle as Bloomberg. Catsimatidis, to his credit, seems to realize that he is not Bloomberg. He is running ads telling people that he is just like them, highlighting his middle-class background.
Appealing to the common middle-class commuting New Yorker is a good idea for the GOP, which is in serious need of brand repair.
Although there is a criticism of the Catsimatidis candidacy from within the Republican Party, there is also some quiet positive chatter. Some feel that Catsimatidis' concern about vocational schooling in New York City is necessary to keep those who are not destined for college on a path to a decent career. No other candidate has talked about this issue.
As one party insider (who is not working for Catsimatidis) has explained, good ideas like this get lost with some of Catsimatidis' other ideas, like his desire to bring a monorail to the city.
If Catsimatidis does not become the nominee, or if he loses on Election Day, this is a cause on which he should remain focused. His narrative of "poor kid makes good" seems to be important to him, and it could be useful to the city.
Not all of our students are headed to college. They will need to do something. We know how hard it is to get a plumber or an air conditioner repair person when we need one.
These are options for kids that might not want to go to college or may not have the resources. There may be some giggles when Catsimatidis talks about some of his ideas, but there is also some agreement.

This one is passed on from Julia M as it's more in my line. The fine detail will possibly not be of interest but the implications might:
"OFA 2.0 considering merger with radical left-wing groups":
The new Obama advocacy nonprofit Organizing for Action is reportedly considering a merger with a left-wing umbrella group whose financiers have ties to Palestinian terrorists and Central American Marxists.
The Common Purpose Project (CPP), an affiliation of left-wing activist groups, may merge with Organizing for Action, the new 501(c)4 iteration of the Obama campaign's 527 group, Organizing for America.
The Common Purpose Project held periodic meetings attended by top liberal groups during President Barack Obama's first term. Top White House officials regularly attended the meetings and the president himself has even attended one.
Erik Smith and Laura Burton Capps—CPP's founder and the group's managing director, respectively—have reportedly attended at least 50 "planning sessions" at the White House.
Among CPP'sdonors are Sandor and Faye Straus, founders of the left-wing Firedoll Foundation. The couple has funneled money to a host of radical organizations through Firedoll.
According to Firedoll's form990filings, it has provided $30,000 in grants to a group called the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ). AFGJ's president Katherine Hoyt worked for Nicaragua's Marxist Sandinista government.
The Nicaragua Network, one of AFGJ's "core projects," was created with the explicit goal of overthrowing the government of Anastasio Somoza Debayle, the predecessor to the Sandinista regime. Somoza was expelled from power in 1979, months after the Network's inception.
Other Alliance activities in Latin America have included defending leftist leaders Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Rafael Correa of Ecuador against charges that they supported the Colombian narco-terrorist organization FARC.
Ron Arnold, an investigative journalist and author of Freezing in the Dark: Money, Power, Politics, and the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy, said the radicalism of these and other Firedoll grant recipients could reflect poorly on Organizing for Action (OFA).
The bottom line is a hell of a lot going on with these people. They've been characterized before as a hydra but that presupposes one uniform organization. Rather, it's the propagation of a mindset and these donors and organizations do what they see as promoting that mindset and the agenda.
There are not many people who knowingly and deliberately pursue a destructive agenda, i.e. they consciously and deliberately wish to destroy humanity. It's probably more a case of them thinking, in their twisted, limited way, that they're doing good and that anyone opposing what they do must be some sort of uncaring demon, rather than someone concerned with the level of personal freedom within the society.
Perhaps the worst aspect is how much damage can be done by well-organized action groups like this, backed by unlimited money. The ordinary person or the freedom crusader does not stand a chance against these Statist enslaveniks.

Another year, another set of resolution. I, for one, this year decided to make only one resolution: to gain weight. Yep, that's right! It's a win-win. If I gain weight, and judging by the historical trend there's a very good chance of gaining, I would have finally kept a resolution. If I lose weight, I still win because of all this medical nonsense about healthy weight increasing one's life span, which might not even be true.
So I was on my merry way of keeping my resolution, indulging in post-holiday semi-binge of leftover and on sale chocolate, which skinny people in our office put out as part of their evil plot to keep me fat, when I read an article about the best apps to for DIY weight loss. Since my hubby bought me an iPod Touch on the occasion of Black Friday, I decided to download the app, MyFitnessPal, just to see what this is all about.
Ladies and gentleman, there is nothing miraculous about that app. MyFitnessPal is on my iPod for the last 14 hours, and I still haven't lost an inch or a pound. There was something magical about it though. Upon entering my weight and height, I was given allowance of over 2500 calories a day, roughly twice my usual on any low calorie diet. Now that's magic! I was so ecstatic, I even forgot to overeat. But then I grew suspicious and upon further investigation discovered that my weight in kilos had been translated into pounds, but the translated number remained somehow as my weight in kilos. A quick adjustment brought down my daily allowable calories to a very, very little over 1300. There's nothing magical about that.
But...it has been fourteen hours and I can say that there's something about this app that I cannot explain. I had kept food diaries, recorded points and calories and fat and blah blah, at times obsessively, but I always knew there was no way I could sustain that for more than a week, even if that. My inner gut tells me that this has a chance of sticking. It could be the magic of Apple though. Also? That number of remaining allowable calories is somehow more difficult to ignore than a piece of paper with points. I don't know why.
And finally, yes, I still take my weight in kilos, even after living in this wonderful country of ours for more than 15 years. I still am more comfortable with metric system and haven't given up hope that Americans will eventually come to their senses and switch just like the rest of the world. I also know that the minute I fully acclimate myself to pounds and inches and Fahrenheit, the switch will be finally made and I would have to relearn the old way, so I resist being the victim of Murphy's Law. The biggest bonus though - my weight in kilos is 2.2 times less than in pounds! It just sounds and looks less scary on the scale. One would say that the weight loss is also 2.2 times smaller in klos, but I got it covered! I measure my weight loss as a percentage of total body weight! On the Excel spreadsheet.
Yes, I am an accountant. Did you even need to ask?

As tablets become more popular and continue to chip away at the mobile computing market, the idea of leaving the notebook behind in favor of a slate certainly seems attractive. On the pros side you have portability, instant-on capabilities, longer battery life, a touchscreen, and in the case of most modern tablets like the iPad 3, an HD video camera.
A recent Caribbean cruise vacation provided the perfect opportunity to test whether or not my iPad would make a suitable travel replacement. I decided to put several products spanning multiple categories to the test to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses based on my hands-on experience.

Dr. Allen Verhey of the Duke University Divinity School faculty, an expert on Christian ethics who formerly taught at Hope for many years, will present the address "The Art of Dying" as the 2009 Danforth Lecture at Hope College on Tuesday, March 3, at 4 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Verhey focuses on the application of Christian ethics, especially in the area of medical and health practice. His address will critique the medicalization of death in the 20th century; reflect on the "Ars Moriendi," a guide on death and dying written in the 15th century; and then turn to the story of Jesus' death as a clue to dying well and faithfully.
Verhey is a professor of Christian ethics at Duke University Divinity School. He has published widely and is the author, editor, or co-editor of 12 books, most recently "Reading the Bible in the Strange World of Medicine."
Prior to coming to Duke, he was the Evert J. and Hattie E. Blekkink Professor of Religion at Hope, where he continues to hold an adjunct appointment in religion. He taught at Hope from 1975 to 1992 and from 1994 to 2004. From 1992 to 1994 he was director of the Institute of Religion at the Texas Medical Center for two years.
The Danforth Lecture is sponsored by the Hope College department of religion with support from an endowment established by the Danforth Foundation of St. Louis, Mo. The program was established by the foundation "to deepen and enlarge the religious dimension of the campus family through speakers who can reflect on the broad, interdenominational and yet positive sense of the Judaeo-Christian perspectives of life and existence."
Some of the many distinguished scholars who have visited the campus through the program in the past include theologian Dr. John D. Crossan of Orlando, Fla.; Dr. Stanley M. Hauerwas of the Divinity School at Duke University; Dr. Martin E. Marty of the University of Chicago Divinity School; Dr. Phyllis Trible of Union Theological Seminary; Dr. Jon D. Levenson of Harvard University; and Dr. Daniel Maguire of Marquette University.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

This report maps and analyses the core issues which together make up effective regulatory management for France, laying down a framework of what should be driving regulatory policy and reform in the future. Issues examined include: strategy and policies for improving regulatory management; institutional capacities for effective regulation and the broader policy making context; transparency and processes for effective public consultation and communication; processes for the development of new regulations, including impact assessment and for the management of the regulatory stock, including administrative burdens; compliance rates, enforcement policy and appeal processes; and the multilevel dimension: interface between different levels of government and interface between national processes and those of the EU. This book is part of a project examining better regulation, being carried out in partnership with the European Commission.

Police respond to a fatal shooting Thursday, June 13, on Cherokee Street in St. Louis.
Four employees of a home health care business were killed in a murder-suicide Thursday in St. Louis, police said.
The gunman, a second man and two women were found shortly after 1:30 p.m. in the office of A K Home Health Care on the first floor of the Cherokee Place Business Incubator, which renovates buildings on the street and leases them as work spaces, police said.
Police identified the gunman late Thursday as Ahmed Dirir, 59. State and federal licensing records list a man with that name as the company's director.
His three victims were identified as Khadra Muse, 44; Seaeed Abdulla, 29; and Bernice Solomon-Redd, 54.
Police Capt. Michael Sack told reporters that video from a surveillance camera showed the gunman having an argument with the three others before opening fire.
"It appeared to be brief," he said. "We don't know if this was a thing that carried over into today or was initiated today."
The weapon, a semi-automatic handgun, was recovered at the scene, he said.
Abdisalam Elmi, a Somali immigrant who drives a cab, told NBC station KSDK of St. Louis that he knew all four victims.
"They are very hard workers," he said in an on-camera interview. "They're friendly. They always smile for me."
"This is the worst day in my life," he said, adding: "I pray for peace, for love, no hate."

Gold-filled jewelry, unlike gold plated jewelry, can be polished and cleaned with jewelry cleaner. The layer of gold will not eventually rub off. It will not tarnish, and it is safe for most people with sensitive skin and allergies.

Today's post is an excerpt from a recent NewsWire mailing
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." —Isaiah 40:8 (ESV)
I still choke up when I read that verse, and I pray that I always will.
Isaiah 40:8speaks volumes. It conveys more depth and richness of content in fifteen short words than some authors getacross in their entire collected life's works.This powerfuldeclaration remindsus why we are here at Logos. We believe in this verse with all our hearts, and want to do everything in our power to make sure that during our brief time on this earth,we doas much as we areable to advance the study of God's Word.
You have probably heard the story behind the founding of Logos Bible Software before: A couple of young Microsoft programmers with their entire careers of high-pay and lucrative Microsoft stock options ahead of them, dropped everything to join a partner and risk it all on pursuing their dream.
They weren't satisfied with using their skills to help businessmen have access to the latest and greatest in technology just so they could be more productive or do better in business…
They wanted more.
They wanted to use those same skills to help God's people in every walk of life have better access to the treasures of God's Word.
They wanted to use the latest and greatest in technology to create tools for taking people deeper into Bible study than they ever thought possible.
"Advanced Technology for Eternal Truth"
Before anything else, we have a passion for God's Word. In order to help you get the most fromGod's Word, we relentlessly push technology to the limits, and make sure we are always up on the latest and greatest.
It is that passion that keeps everyone at Logos pushing technology forward. It is that passion that keeps us experimenting with the latest software and tools out there wherever they come from. It is that passion that ensures that your Logos Bible Software will continue to get better and better.
We promise that we will continue to push technology to the limits to make studying the Bible deeper, easier and better in every way possible.
Really, we are serious about this!
The most obvious benefit of our passion to help you get the most out of your Bible study is the ever-improving Logos Bible Software engine (the Libronix Digital Library System).Our passionfor making sure we are up on the latest and greatest technology ensures that you have uninterrupted access to the best Bible studysoftware in the world even when Microsoft releases new operating systems like Windows Vista, and new browsers like Internet Explorer 7.The latest version of Logos Bible Software is ready for both: Get it now.
Honestly, there is no catch!
Keeping up to date with the core engine in Logos Bible Software doesn't cost a thing. There is no reason not to download the latest versionand stay current. Take a moment and make sure you are using the latest and greatest in technology by updating your engine for free: https://www.logos.com/support/download/30update
Experience just how far our passion has taken us…
There is no catch to the download. You can make sure you have the latest core engine at no cost just like we mentioned above…
…but if you are looking to do more than just keep your software current with the latest operating systems,or you want to see just how far our passion has taken us to create extra tools and add-ins to bring you new ways to dig deeper, read on.
After you update your core engine you should check out the individually customized upgradesale that is about to expire on collection upgrades. Download the update first, then if you want to jump light years ahead in your Bible study and add more great tools, add-ins and resources for pennies on the dollar, you should really check out our custom collection upgrades that are still on sale for just a month or so more at: https://www.logos.com/upgrade

Governor's Office of Consumer Protection Warns Senior Citizens Not to Fall Victim to Home Repair Fraud
ATLANTA, GA – Earlier this year a Cobb County Grand Jury charged five suspects with racketeering and accused them of conspiring to defraud 25 elderly victims of over $74,500 in a home improvement scam they ran between July 28, 2011 and February 15, 2013. Three of the suspects – Larry McGill, Nicholas Mitchell and Helen Johnson – pleaded guilty last month to racketeering and were sentenced to prison time followed by probation and ordered to pay restitution to victims. Two suspects, Rocky Mitchell and Gidget Williams, are still at large. The case was investigated by the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection and the Roswell Police Department.
In the wake of this scam, the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection is now placing renewed emphasis on advising elderly consumers how to avoid becoming victims when contracting for home repair work.
Home improvement scammers often target elderly homeowners. They typically initiate contact by going door-to-door and offering a seemingly reasonable price for a small repair job, such as exterior home cleaning, roofing, tree trimming or driveway sealing, as was the case with the foregoing Cobb County home repair scammers. Victims would agree to the work at the flat rate quoted. However, after the work was done, the crew would then tell the homeowners that the quoted price was actually the amount per volume of the materials or product used, and that a larger quantity of materials or product had been used than expected. Many homeowners felt they could not protest the higher amount, and so, feeling pressured or even intimidated, they would pay an amount higher – often significantly higher – than the originally agreed upon amount.
In other home repair scams, the perpetrators complete the original job but inevitably "discover" additional problems that need repair. They then overcharge consumers for that work, do a shoddy job, or take the consumer's money without ever completing the additional repair (and sometimes without even beginning).
Here are some potential "red flags" of a home improvement scam:
- Work is unsolicited, repairman goes door-to-door. He may show checks received from other neighbors as proof of his credibility.
- Business is not listed in the local phone directory and/or contractor refuses to give out his address.
- There is no written quote/contract.
- Contractor only accepts cash as payment.
- Contractor offers special introductory offers or a discount valid only for today.
- Contractor insists that you pay in full before all work has been completed.
- Small job expands into huge job, or additional problems are later "discovered".
- High pressure sales tactics, scare tactics or threats.
Before hiring someone to do home improvement work, consumers are advised to do the following:
- Ask friends, neighbors and coworkers for referrals.
- Contact local trade organizations, such as the Home Builders Association of Georgia, to find contractors in your area.
- Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if there are any complaints against the business.
- Make sure that general contractors, electricians, plumbers and heating and air conditioning contractors are licensed. You can verify this on the Secretary of State's website: www.sos.georgia.gov. Note that certain specialty occupations such as roofers, painters, drywall contractors and repair handymen are not required to be licensed by the state.
- Ask for three or four references of customers who had projects similar to yours.
- Get written bids from several contractors. Be skeptical if the bid is too low. Cheaper is not necessarily better.
- Always insist on a contract for work to be performed, with all guarantees, warranties and promises in writing. Agree on start and completion dates and have them written into the contract.
- Ask to see proof of insurance (personal liability, workers' compensation and property damage).
- Consider setting payment terms in conjunction with completed stages of the job.
- When the job is done, make sure it matches the terms of the contract.
- Never pay for the entire project before the work begins. Do not in fact pay more than 25% or at most 1/3 of the total cost as a down payment. Remaining payments should be tied to completion of specified amounts of work.

There are new comics to buy each week, and, as always, I have some suggestions...
Comics You Should Consider Buying (from comics shops)
Action Comics #2 Grant Morrison continues his tale of the re-booted Superman, back when Superman was young and an anti-authority super-hero activist. Morrison's first issue was superb.
Animal Man #2 One of the critical darlings of DC's New 52 back for another issue. Official summary: "Maxine's new abilities continue to terrify Ellen and Buddy Baker, and things take a turn for the worse as Buddy begins a startling transformation of his own that will lead him on a journey into the heart of The Red. Meanwhile, The Hunters Three arrive on Earth and set their sights on the Baker family. The Hunt is on as DC's most surprising new series continues to take Animal Man in shocking new directions."
Avengers 1959 #1 One of comics' best, grittiest, bawdiest writer-artists, Howard Chaykin, begins his mini-series about 1950s'era Avengers.
Chew #21 You people love your Chew. There's a new one out (sorry, I still haven't read past the first issue). Official summary: "Baseball, Hot Dogs and Apple Pie, Part One... Mike Applebee's good day, Tony Chu's first day and John Colby's last day. An issue of beginning and endings, as we head into the fifth story arc of the multi-Eisner award nominated series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals, clairvoyants and...meter maids?"
Last of the Greats #1 A week ago, I wouldn't have cared, but then I read writer Josh Fialkov's shockingly good DC New 52 comic I, Vampire. Suddenly, I'm interested in his work and he's got this new book out for Image. Official summary: "There were seven, possessing the power of gods, and representing all that could be right with the world. But now... he is the Last. As humanity stands on the brink of annihilation, he is our only hope. And he hates us for what we've done."
Swamp Thing #2 Another new issue from one the best New 52 DC books. Official summary: "Alec Holland thought he knew the history of the Swamp Thing—but he was wrong. The creature's roots run deeper than he knows, and the Parliament of Trees intends to make him understand the responsibility he wants so desperately to avoid! With this issue, the mythology of the Swamp Thing branches out in ways you never saw coming - don't miss it!"
X-Men Schism #5 Final issue of the best Big Event book of the year. Official summary: "After years of fighting side-by-side the X-Men are torn irrevocably in half. On one side, X-Men team leader, Cyclops. On the other, X-Men mainstay, Wolverine. Between them lies the fate of mutantkind, and surrounding them, the foes who want to end them forever! Be there for the conclusion of the story that will set the stage for the X-Men universe for years to come, from Marvel Architect writer Jason Aaron and art legend Adam Kubert!"
X-Men by Chris Claremont & Jim Lee Omnibus, Volume 1
For a mere $125! Official summary: "What happens when you combine an industry veteran at the top of his game with a hot, up-and-coming young artist, and let them loose on Marvel's mightiest mutants? You get a fan-favorite, multi-year X-Men run unequaled in style, pizzazz and wall-to-wall action! It's Chris Claremont's most ambitious story arc ever, featuring Jim Lee's dynamic debut issues and major changes to the X-Men's status quo! Jubilee debuts just as the X-Men disband, granted new lives by the Siege Perilous! The Reavers enact gruesome revenge on Wolverine and decimate Muir Island, while Psylocke is transformed into a ninja! The Shadow King makes his play for Storm, culminating in the action-packed introduction of Gambit! Wolverine's hidden past with Captain America and the Black Widow is revealed! And this is just the first volume! Collecting Uncanny X-Men #244-269, X-Men Annual (1970) #13 and Classic X-Men #39."
Comics With Video Game Connections (new this week in comics shops)
Crysis #5 Official summary: "With the knowledge that their powerful nanosuits were made with stolen alien technology, Prophet and the members of Raptor Team head back to Earth to try and stop the alien Ceph from destroying mankind. But have they returned too late… or too soon?"
DC Universe Online Legends #15 Official summary: "Following the tragic events in the last issue, the heroes must pick up the pieces of a shattered League. With Superman AWOL and seeking revenge, will Lex Luthor be the hero of the day? And can anyone keep the Man of Steel from hunting down and killing Brainiac?"
Sonic the Hedgehog Archives, Vol. 16 Official summary: "The best-selling Sonic Archives graphic novel series continues! The hunt for the evil Ixis Naugus goes into full swing as Sonic and his best friend Tails continue the World Tour Saga! Can the power of friendship overrule the wills of interdimensional machine-gods? What is the sinister secret of Sand Blast City? And are those duck-bill platypus warriors riding crocodiles? Collects Sonic The Hedgehog #59-62."
And Over On The iPad/iPhone/Droid/WebBrowser…
The ComiXology Comics app and website offer a fresh batch of new and old digital comics this week (and as of this week, Marvel's are available on Comixology's website, instead of just on iOS… but still not on Droid). Highlights this week include any of the new DC super-hero books you're interested in and Marvel's Ultimate books, since they all hit ComiXology on the same day they come out in shops. Other notables include The Complete Essex County (Jeff Lemire's critically acclaimed graphic novels for just $15) and several issues of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up which paired Brian Michael Bendis with some wonderful artists.
And the best comic I read last week….
Wolverine #14 Not even the newest issue of writer Jason Aaron's excellent ongoing Wolverine series (there have been two since), but the one that caps off a story about a group of people who manage to successfully get revenge on Marvel's most popular X-Man.
I'd rather you read it yourself to see what happens—and I recommend you back up a few issues before that to enjoy the full impact. But let's just say that some folks whose loved ones were killed by Wolverine figure out how to make him feel some pain in a most unique way.
That's it for this week. Tell me what you're reading this week and which great comics I'm missing.

In what is gearing up to be a battle of America's biggest bicycling legends, Greg LeMond said he believes evidence Lance Armstrong used illegal performance enhancing drugs will prove "overwhelming."
LeMond, a three-time winner of the Tour de France, told The Denver Post he was glad to get a subpoena to testify in federal court in Los Angeles July 30 in a probe of possible fraud and doping by Armstrong and his associates.
"The evidence will come from the investigation," LeMond told the newspaper, "and I believe it will be overwhelming."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
LeMond said he believes disgraced Tour winner Floyd Landis told the truth when he described Armstrong's systemic doping program.
"I think he's telling the truth," LeMond told the newspaper. "I think the level of detail, the descriptions, I think it rings true."
Armstrong, who won the French race seven straight times, has denied allegations of doping. On Monday, his attorney sent a letter to the federal prosecutor looking into the case complaining about leaks to the media.
"This appears to be a full-blown and largely unmonitored exploration of Floyd Landis' patently unreliable and routinely changing accusations of possible improper conduct in the professional cycling industry at large," wrote Armstrong's attorney, Tim Herman.
"I'm hoping it gets as far as it can," LeMond told The Denver Post.
LeMond's belief in Landis' allegations is quite a turnaround from three years ago, when LeMond testified in Landis' doping case. On a remarkable day in that hearing, LeMond told how Landis' manager threatened to reveal then-secret stories of LeMond being sexually abused as a child if he came to the hearing.

Lou Gramm Sings National Anthem at Minor-League Game
Hometown hero Lou Gramm made an appearance in Rochester, N.Y. on Friday (July 26) to sing the national anthem before the town's AAA ball club attempted to solidify its hold on a wild-card playoff spot.
Gramm was also on hand to sell and sign copies of his recently released memoir, 'Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades in Rock 'n' Roll,' which details the ups and downs of his career, both as a solo artist and as the frontman for Foreigner during the group's wildly successful string of albums throughout the '70s and '80s. The book also chronicles his personal struggles, including the brain tumor that nearly killed him during the '90s.
The memoir comes during a busy period for Gramm, who's kept a low profile over the past few years. Earlier this summer, he reunited with his former Foreigner partner Mick Jones for a one-off awards show performance, and more recently he announced plans to hit the road for a North American tour that's scheduled to last into October.
As for the Rochester Red Wings? Perhaps Gramm's rendition of the national anthem (which you can watch above) gave them an extra bit of luck. The team, which has been surging through the standings since dropping to 11 games out of first place earlier this season, defeated the Norfolk Tides 5-2 to claim the lead in their division's wild-card race.

Per Jim Bowden of ESPN the Cubs and Dodgers are just about done negotiation and have agreed on a deal for Dempster. Per Bowden they are dotting the I's and crossing the T's, should be announced soon. WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE! So please take it for what it's worth, I will update as news comes in.
[UPDATE 1] Phil Rogers on MLBN says the Cubs are still pushing to get Allen Webster in the deal from the Dodgers, might be including another player.
[UPDATE 2] Kevin Goldstein thinks that if this is a multi-player deal that James Russell would be the other player going to the Dodgers. Cubs really want Webster.
[UPDATE 3] Multiple reports now that another team has emerged for Dempster and the Cubs are talking to them now. This would be the Cubs using big time leverage against the Dodgers, something they didn't have prior to today, who's going to blink??
[UPDATE 4] Tom Verducci just said on MLBN that the Cubs have broke off talks with the Dodgers and are not talking with the Yankees and a mystery team. Dodgers are going to have to cough up what the Cubs want or watch Dempster go elsewhere, or that's what the Cubs want the Dodgers to think at least.
[UPDATE 5] Dempster has told Bruce Levine that he will accept a deal to the Yankees, Dodgers, or Rangers. Thanks Ryan as we sit here an hour and 15 minutes from the deadline.
[UPDATE 6] Per Tim Brown of Yahoo sports the Dodgers have pulled out of talks with the Cubs over Dempster. A very real chance that Dempster pitches for the Cubs tonight, ick.
[UPDATE 7] With just minutes to go, the Rangers are sneaking in ahead of the Yankees, nothing confirmed yet. CBS is reporting Rangers.
[UPDATE 8] Multiple sources reporting Dempster has been traded to the RANGERS, craziness. Updates coming.

I missed this, but I do get where you're coming from. I am approaching the 35 year of my shingles gunk. Even still I've never gone more than 3 maybe 4 months without sores. I have them really bad right now. I've often wondered if I'd have been better off if I died. I worried that my kids would hate me or resent me, but instead it helped turn them into empathetic little critters who are all in great positions to serve others. M is a counselor who works with very troubled monkeys, Q is well on his way to become a UMC minister and has spent the summer being Pastor Q at one othe biggest Christian Camp in NC. I think he has grown and learned so much this year and Lyd wants to be a teacher and is excited that she can study in Ireland this Fall. Oh I'm going to miss herRebecky wrote:Ok... fine. I'll just pick on you instead!JesusPuppy wrote: And Kiddo.. Quit picking on Shann... that's my job.
Yeah, today is 3 years since the car accident. I remember after the accident I had nightmares every night for I don't know how long. During that time because of the nightmares, sleepless nights and the pain I was in, many night I wished I had just died in the accident instead. That could have been way better than the pain and everything I was going through.
But now the nightmares are gone, even if everything else remains.
I've got a bad headache that is going from my sinuses to the back of my neck right where my spine comes up.
Which brings me to you Ms. Becky, I know we have had some up and downs, but I am so glad you didn't die in that accident. I wouldn't have had the honor to call you friend. You've touched me in many ways. In 2012, it was the first time in like 25 years that I didn't have to go into the hospital even once during that year. Then in February, I needed to go in, but struggled, feeling like I would have failed and given in to this stupid disease, but Becky simply said, "Seems to me that going to hospital to get medicine you need is fighting, not giving in!" I really wish you knew how much that meant to me. Becky. I have tears in my eyes now still when I think about it. When we hurt all the time it can be difficult to step outside of the pain and minister to others. I think that may be your gift Becky and I wish I could help you see that beautiful part of yourself. If you could get a job in the health care or at camp or some kind of a mission trip, even though it would be hard, scary, painful, and much more, God would reward you a thousand times over. Lyd really came back a changed person after her mission trip. Lots of time people see those trips as hard labor, building houses, cleaning up after disasters, but there are Missions of Peace which is what Lyd went to and she was so blessed. She often would call our house a dump, but after seeing people who literally lived in a dump, it made a change in her. You do have that type of heart Becky and you have made me a better person because of it. Hugs
