|Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party
|Folder Description
|A description of the overall contents of the MFDP files in the Wisconsin Historical Society, including a short history of the MFDP, opens this folder. This particular MFDP folder deals largely with the MFDP's "Congressional Challenge": its efforts to prevent the seating of white segregationist Mississippi congressmen in 1965 on the grounds that they were elected unfairly as African Americans had been systematically prevented from voting in their elections. Other topics deal with the advent of the War on Poverty--many of whose programs were administered by segregationists to the detriment of the people for whom it was intended--and the increasingly desperate conditions of displaced Delta agricultural workers by 1966. The folder includes minutes from a statewide MFDP meeting held in May 1965 which call for a march in Jackson in support of the congressional challenge and to publicize the need for free elections. A variety of press releases about the basis for the congressional challenge, obstacles to the congressional challenge (including the Washington, D.C., arrest of 10 Mississippians who had come to speak with the Clerk of Court who had been stalling in the preparation of key documents), the next steps in the congressional challenge, and its ultimate defeat. There's a pamphlet on the congressional challenge put out by Californians for the Congressional Challenge. Repeated statements by Martin Luther King, James Farmer, John Lewis, and Lawrence Guyot--as well as state resolutions and a list of supporting organizations--favoring the congressional challenge. Assorted form letters on "what you can do to help the MFDP [in its congressional challenge]." A printed document, "A Message from Mississippi: Help Us Unseat 'Congressmen' We Never Voted For!" along with an article by George Slaff on the congressional challenge, which begins with a fascinating first-hand account of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission hearings on obstacles to voter registration in Panola County, Mississippi. Legal documents filed by African American congressional candidates who state that white Mississippi officials have not allowed their names to be placed on the ballot and ask that the municipal elections in Sunflower County for spring 1965 be postponed until fall 1965. Articles by Drew Pearson on Speaker of the House John McCormack's role in obstructing the congressional challenge, and on former Mississippi governor and white supremacist J. P. Coleman's appointment to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court by Lyndon Johnson. MFDP statements on Coleman's judicial appointment. A blank application form for summer 1965 MFDP workers. A press release about the summer 1965 student-based Washington Lobby organized to lobby for the congressional challenge. A press release about mass arrests and police brutality that took place in Jackson, Mississippi, during a June 14, 1965, demonstration, an MFDP newsletter about the same issue, a call for a mass meeting about the arrests, and conditions for detainees at the State Fairgrounds, and an announcement about a hunger strike among the protesters. John Perdew's "Mississippi Legislature: Old Wine in New Bottles" discusses the legislation passed during the 1965 special session of the Mississippi legislature. There's an MFDP statement clarifying its lack of an official position on the Vietnam War. Part of an article on "The Southern Freedom Movement" by Anne Braden in the Monthly Review. A press release about the Loyal Democrats of Mississippi and a list of their steering committee members. An August 8, 1965, document by Joseph Meissner and Steven Nelson called "The Mississippi Challenge: Some Questions and Answers." William Fitts Ryan's and the Medical Committee for Human Rights' statements in support of MFDP's congressional challenge. A statement from Edwin King encouraging MFDP members to go to Washington, D.C., to lobby Congressional representatives to support the challenge. Statements by Martin Luther King and by the National Council of Churches on rumors that Congress will dismiss the congressional challenge. A statement by members of various state bar associations in favor of the congressional challenge. An MFDP report on the defeat of its congressional challenge. A Congressional Record account of the defeat, with the roll call vote listed. Lawrence Guyot's statement on the defeat. Transcripts of Lawrence Guyot's remarks, made after the congressional challenge defeat, about the future of the MFDP in Mississippi, and of the MFDP's prospects of being seated at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. Both Andrew Kopkind and Richard Rovere's magazine articles on the congressional challenge acknowledge the justification for the congressional challenge but criticize the MFDP's strategies and outlook. A late 1965 MFDP "Report from Mississippi" discusses voter registration since passage of the Voting Rights Bill (and the use of federal registrars in some counties as well as Mississippi's continued resistance to its provisions), plans for the 1966 elections, the white opposition to desegregation of public schools, and mass arrests of African Americans in Natchez. A 1965 MFDP document called "The Reapportionment of Mississippi." Handwritten excerpts from New York Times articles about MFDP elections in 1966. A January 1966 MFDP "key list." Meeting minutes from a January 1966 MFDP statewide convention. Annie Devine has a fundraising letter for the MFDP from the same period and reports on the beginnings of the food stamp program. There are several 1966 MFDP reports on continued violent incidents directed toward African Americans and MFDP's efforts to deal with growing poverty. There's the text of a telegram from Lawrence Guyot and other attendees at a Poor People's Conference to Lyndon Johnson, pointing out that poverty program funds are not reaching the people for whom they were intended, and begging for assistance. The text of the telegram the group got in response is also here. The demands made by unemployed, evicted persons taking up residence at an abandoned Air Force base in Greenville are here. New York Times articles describe widespread unemployment among agricultural workers due to mechanization, government subsidies to planters, increased use of chemical pest control, and planters' fears about a minimum wage for agricultural workers, as well as about the "Strike City" near Greenville. Victoria Gray has a concise description of the issues leading to poor people's occupation of the Air Force base. An MFDP newsletter points out that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has invalidated municipal elections in the town of Sunflower in 1966 because the registrar failed to abide by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and that the repressive former police chief of Indianola has been placed in charge of the new poverty programs to the detriment of poor African Americans. A letter from an African American man working in the distribution of food commodities points out many examples of racial discrimination in the program. A 1966 MFDP legal document asks for a stay of the June 1966 Democratic Party primary election based on charges that state officials have prevented African Americans from registering to vote.

A New Jersey high school senior faces assault charges after he allegedly broke a school nurse's hip while in a drunken rage.
Since Wednesday was an exam day, seniors were allowed to arrive to Pennsville Memorial High School late.
Pennsville Township Police told NBC10's Chris Cato that the 17-year-old and his friend Manpreet Singh, 18, used the opportunity to get drunk.
U.S. & World
The 17-year-old, who wasn't identified because he is a minor, began to act belligerent in class, police said..
"They took him from the classroom and took him to the principal's office," said police Lt. A.J. Cummings.
Sources told Cato that when the boy was confronted with a Breathalyzer test that he went nuts and shoved the principal. He then allegedly burst out the office door, knocking down school nurse Marilyn English.
English, 68, suffered a broken hip and remained in South Jersey Healthcare – Elmer Hospital Friday night. Cato spoke to her by phone.
"I'm doing as well as can be expected for the type of injury it is," English said.
She told Cato that the boy never stopped. Police sources say he kept going right out of the building. Police say they later picked him up around 11:20 a.m. but not before he kicked an officer.
The 17-year-old faces three assault charges, disorderly conduct and alcohol charges while Singh, who police say supplied the alcohol, faces an alcohol charge.
The Pennsville School District had no comment on what discipline both teens could face.
Neither teens' parents wanted to talk to NBC10. The minor's mother slammed the door on Cato and Singh's mother had no comment.
As for the school nurse hurt during the teen's alleged rage, English told Cato that she hopes the action of a couple students doesn't reflect on the majority of students saying this was an "isolated" and "abnormal" incident.

Paladins on YouTube
A bit over a week ago, I got an email from Freckles, a Holy Paladin who'd recently made a how-to video on healing Heroic Morchok.
The email was immediately followed by this reaction on my behalf: "OMG! THERE ARE PALADINS ON YOUTUBE!!!"
That reaction was shortly followed by me reacting to my reaction: "Well, duh! Of course there are paladins on YouTube. You can find anything on YouTube, even paladins."
I guess it kind of goes to show how little I watch videos. It's funny to say that videos don't do much for me because I'm visual, but that's how it is. I need to see words to understand them, and most videos don't have subtitles. I do all my research via written text. So I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to the WoW YouTube scene.
Which is a shame because there are some fantastic resources (like Freckles' video) out there, and there are a lot of players who really benefit from videos, and I, who tries to be the Librarian of Paladin Content, haven't shared them.
It's time to remedy that.
I added Freckles' YouTube
page Channel to my blogroll.
I did a search through YouTube to find more Paladin videos, but YouTube is so huge that it's hard to find relevant videos amidst everything else. I wasn't kidding when I said you could find anything on YouTube.
Some recently updated pages I found were:
Hellseth's Channel has 2 Holy Paladin guides for 4.3
CrAcK123Cr's Channel has some videos on Leveling a Human Holy Paladin
PalawinFC's Channel has some Heroic 10m Videos from a Paladin's perspective
RXthames has quite a few videos about PvP and tanking
mehie's Channel has a lot of helpful videos on a variety of topics, among which you can find a number of Paladin-themed videos.
Note that I can't necessarily attest to the quality of all the channels I listed, but there are paladins out there in the YouTube world, and some of them may be entertaining, informative or all of the above. If you've got some paladin channels you'd like to share, let me know and I'll be happy to update the blogroll to include our cinematographic cousins.Explore posts in the same categories: Blogging

Are there EVER Paladin vids on Youtube!
January 11, 2012 at 11:37 pm
OMG! Paladins everywhere!
I was actually asked to put some text into my video to emphasize some of the points, but personally I prefer guides without text. I like to be able to focus on listening and watching and go back and listen again and look at specific points in the fight. That is also why I use the whole kill in my guide because I think it tells a lot more than just some short clips and text. I always feel a bit unsatisfied watching most guides nowadays. There is too little information and too much talking about how easy the boss is… Well, it's not easy on heroic if you don't have the right tactics, that's for sure!
I hope my videos are helpful to someone at least. I want it to be useful to other classes as well, not just holy palas. But sometimes it's hard not to talk too much about paladins…
We all learn in different ways. Some like to watch videos others like to read (traitors!). The best way of learning is still to try it out for yourself!
Thank you so much for posting this, Ophelie. There are a lot of paladins on You Tube and they deserve a little attention for their hard work. If anyone is interested there is a very nice thread on MMO-champion listing T13 paladin PoVs. You can find it here:

All of my guild's videos are from the holy paladin perspective (myself).

The Model Notary Act Of 2010 Model Notary Act Adoptions Map Drafting Committee The Model Notary Act is a comprehensive statute prototype designed to assist lawmakers and Notary program administrators in modernizing and strengthening the Notary Public statutes in their state. Conceived as the Uniform Notary Act in 1973 in a special collaboration with Yale Law School, it was renamed the Model Notary Act and progressively expanded in 1984, 2002 and 2010. The MNA drafting panels have included secretaries of state, law professors, technology experts, mortgage banking executives and government officials at every level.

My friend was pleased with the basket and that's really what matters. She said it was lovely. My only hope is that it was what it was advertised to be.

Thank you GiftTree for providing me with a company that I can trust and for providing me with a website that is easy to use and with a huge variety of great gifts for the people I love!
A daughterThe attention to detail was amazingSeptember 8, 2016
I bought this as birthday gift for my mother who is in her 60's. She raved about the lemon cookies and the teas she had tried so far (and she was really excited to have so many to try from). She also mentioned how nice the presentation was in the basket with the tea pot. But the best part of all - she loved how easy this gift was for her to enjoy - the set came with little scissors to allow her to easily open packages and the teas were in bags ready to seep without her having to look for her own. Since she lives out of state I send her lots of different gift baskets for various ocassions. This is the first time I have ordered from GiftTree and I will be back. The site even let me choose my delivery date and the delivery was spot on. I'm so impressed by the total experience.
Gift giverWife liked the basketJune 30, 2016
This was a birthday gift for my wife who loves tea. She thought the diversity of quality brands was great, and the presentation in the basket was very nice. The tea cup is small but a cute decoration. Overall, the gift was well received. Thanks GiftTree!
kathyExcellent Choice!!!June 29, 2016
I sent this as a get well pick-me-up for my sister. I never saw it but from what she said, it was very similar to the presentation online. As she went on and on about it, I was well aware that I had made an excellent choice for a gift. I will continue to use this site for gift shopping in the future!!

basketbuyerRecipient loved itMay 2, 2016
The only reason this isn't 5 stars is it frustrated me to not be able to tell exactly what was in it. He was happy so that was what really matters.
camilleBeautiful PresentationApril 24, 2016
I wanted to surprise my man with something he would really love and I know very well how much of a tea lover he is. I saw this traditional teatime basket and after I read the reviews I knew for sure this is the one I should get for him. GiftTree didn't disappoint and the service is excellent. My order arrived on time and the recipient really loved the presentation and the stuffs inside it. He took a picture of it and sent it to me. He loved it and that's what matters. so I'm giving it 5 stars for the excellent service and for making him happy :) and I'll keep using GiftTree to send gifts since then. Thank you GiftTree!

It's perfect in every way. Thank you so much for delivering this wonderful gift and making my mother's day/week/month better. I will definitely be ordering from Gifttree.com again in the future!!!
TeagiverExcellentNovember 3, 2015
Nice selection of fine tea! I wasn't too familiar with this brand of tea, but I bought it for a guy and he loved it. It was nicely packaged when arrived and everything was there. The taste of tea was of high quality! The tea pot that is stackable with a cup was a great asset to the gift basket. Unexpectedly comes with a pair of scissors from GiftTree. Would definitely order this again.
HipSisterEnjoyableSeptember 28, 2015
I sent this to my sister and brother-in-law after his father passed away. My brother-in-law is British, so I thought it was fitting instead of flowers. Ironically, he also had a sore throat so he commented that the tea also helped sooth that. The entire family enjoyed the basket and I would definitely recommend this product.
loving itBeautiful Presentation!September 25, 2015
I love this basket. I think they are so pretty and I know the people who are getting them will enjoy this very much. This was a very unusual gift as far as I am concerned. It's also a very thoughtful one and something different in giving as a gift.
ViolettaCute IdeaSeptember 18, 2015
I sent this to my mother who was feeling a bit blue since the anniversary of my father's passing is coming up. She loves a cup of tea at night while she watches tv and with the Hallmark Channel shows starting up soon, I just knew this would be a hit!!!! She commented on the teapot and teacup and scissors sent to open the package and couldn't wait to try all the goodies. Overall a wonderful basket to send and to receive. I would definitely order it again!!!

Hi I live in Venezuela and sent a gift to my boyfriend in North Carolina for a surprise. He said it was a beautiful gift and was very fresh and nice. My boyfriend liked everything they had in the basket. All the different flavors of tea, cookies, lemon, and lime. Thank you very much! You are very professional.

MelongalElegantMarch 3, 2015
We received a wonderful thank you for the Traditional Teatime Basket we sent to a friend. She used the word "elegant" to describe the basket. She loves tea, and was surprised to receive some she had never heard of and was excited to try them. Other reviewers said their recipient had trouble telling who their gift was from, so we decided to add the personalized ribbon to add wishes for a speedy recovery and added our names. It was worth the slight extra cost by the response we received, and how surprised and touched our friend was to receive such a personalized gift! I would highly recommend this gift basket.

sivo4kaGreat Gift for tea loversJanuary 26, 2015
Our friends were excited to receive this gift with tea and sweets.
This was a gift for my 97 year old Aunt, I love her more than a bushel and a peck. This by far was her fav gift for a belated Christmas gift. She so loves getting baskets with all kinds of goodies, it makes her feel like Santa was so good to her. lol. She loves the color green and tea, so this was the perfect basket, If anyone knows someone they love that loves tea and everything that goes with it. Buy your loved one this.

grateful momLovely giftOctober 8, 2014
This was a birthday present for my daughter who lives far away and was by herself for her birthday. The little teapot and cup were lovely and so were all of the goodies - there were more cookies than tea so a better balance would've have made it perfect, but all in all it was really, really lovely. Thank you so much!

SharonLovely GiftAugust 1, 2014
We have sent this gift to many of our clients - usually when they feel a little under the weather. I personally have sent this to my friends; one who was recovering from a hospital stay and another who just bought a new home. Both of my friends have stated that they could not get over the gift. Especially the scissors to open the gift with. Whether we use it for friends, family or clients it is definitely a gift we go back to for many occasions.
RobynTea-lovers Delight!July 21, 2014
I sent this to a dear friend for her birthday and she was OVERJOYED! She'd recently given up coffee so this was a glorious surprise.
GinnyBeautiful Tea BasketJuly 21, 2014
My husband and I sent the tea basket to our daughter as she was recovering from surgery. My comment will be to use my daughter's exact words in her thank you note. Here it is: Thank you for the beautiful tea basket. It was so much fun! It brought smiles every time I noticed something new in the basket. Everything was delicious. Loved the teapot and cup.
HappybuyerVery PleasedJuly 4, 2014
The recipient was very pleased with this gift. I wanted to send something that she could have as a keepsake rather than flowers or just food, both of which are perishable. With the nice basket, tea pot and cup, this fit the bill.

Mel KGreat surprise for GrandmaJune 23, 2014
My husband and I purchased this for his grandmother who had not been well. She was so thrilled with this lovely basket. She said the teapot was perfect because it wasn't too big. Being elderly I knew a regular teapot would be too large for her to handle but this one was just what she needed. She also loved all of the delicious treats. There were so many she got such a thrill out of exploring them all. This was such a beautiful, well put together basket and everything in it was top quality and great presentation. Can't wait to send my next basket!
She absolutely loved it and I'm so happy with the presentation provided by GiftTree. Will be ordering most gifts from them now.

When I received my gift basket I was recovering from eye surgery. Well, nothing perked me up as much as the great variety of items in my basket. From the scissors (what a cute idea) to the variety of tea and cookies. Last, but certainly not least, was the adorable little tea pot and cup combo. that I felt was for " just me". I just loved everything in the basket!

The items in the package were of great quality minus the wafers. I was not a big fan of these items because they were too bland. I wish the basket included more teas for variety. The cookies were excellent to the point I recreated them at home.

I didn't actually "see" this basket in person, but my Mother in Law loved it. She was so excited, she called us as soon as it arrived. She's very curious about a cookie/biscuit (Tea Wafers) and can't wait to try it but is waiting until she sees us to share it. I highly recommend this basket for the Tea Lover you know.

SamanthaGet Well GiftSeptember 19, 2013
I bought this as a get well gift for my boss and she loved it. However, they put the card on the back of the return label so it took her a day to see who sent it to her. They should put the card on the basket itself.
Always looking for the perfect giftHappy with gift and service.August 21, 2013
The person we sent this to said it was lovely! Shipped when it was supposed to and received notices about its' status. Overall, happy with the gift and service. Granted, it isn't cheap for tea, but they get to keep the pot, cup, and basket!
NoneHow to get a thank youAugust 11, 2013
Since the person I sent the gift to did not tell me thank you, I was thinking that you should have an option that would include a self addressed thank you card so that the poorly mannered recipient might get the message that a thank you would be appropriate. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ On your end everything was perfect.

Sometimes you run out of gift ideas and it's always nice to get a surprise delivery. She loved it! It was delivered on time, just before Mothers Day, and she said it's so beautifully wrapped she doesn't want to open it! This is the 2nd time I've ordered from GT and is the 1st thing I will keep as a gift option when any occasion comes up!

KhBEST CHOICE FOR MOTHERS/MOTHER'S IN LAWMarch 22, 2013
I came from a country which serving tea to family members or your guest is part of the culture. I'd like to introduce that culture to my boyfriend's mother and at the same time getting her a nice gift - and she LOVED it! This might be the best choice if you trying to do the same thing. I wish I could send this to my own mother who lives on the other side of the globe. I am sure she would love it too.
MzNanzeeTea Lover's Dream.March 21, 2013
Both the teas and the treats were to quote a famous British sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous." Tasty, high quality, good value choice. The individual tea pot/ tea cup combo is a nice addition to this pretty re-usable basket.
TealoverGreat Customer ServiceMarch 18, 2013
Very easy company to work with. Unfortunately my giftbasket didn't get delivered to the patient while at the hospital. But when I called Gift Tree to find out what happened, they were very sweet. They gave me date and time of delivery so I could check with the hospital where it was delivered and then offered to replace it at no charge if the hospital couldn't find it. Turns out the hospital's shipping and recieving dept. messed up and had it the whole time the patient was in the hospital. Point being Gift Tree did a great job and the patient eventually got her get well gift. Thank you.
Tea loverTraditional Teatime BasketMarch 3, 2013
Bought this product for my sister and had it sent to her home. My sister said that it arrived on time, looked great and she was very happy with all the products in it. She said the quality of the products were very nice and the quantity that was there of tea and cookies was just so nice. Couldn't wait to try the cookies and she just loves tea, so was quite happy with the organic teas that were in the basket as she tries to avoid tea's with caffeine in them. Thought the basket it came in was great and she could reuse it. The Florida grown honey was just delicious! Wouldn't hesitate to send to a friend or recommend this to someone as a gift. Had no problems with the website and having it sent to my sister's home. She was so happy with the gift and seeing that I am in MI and she is in CA it's nice to know that something ordered on line turned out to be as nice as it looked and so enjoyed by the person it was sent too! Keep up the good work, will recommend to all my friends and family.

DiomalcoTea Drinkers Will Enjoy ThisDecember 30, 2012
I'm English so have been immersed in 'tea culture' since milk changed from necessary to ingredient. This gift has both traditional and less so components which make it something of a fun adventure. The recipient, who was a Michigan lady, thoroughly enjoyed receiving the mix of items and their careful presentation.

Colts turn attention to run-stuffers on defense
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Building the monster is no longer a campaign slogan. The Indianapolis Colts might have finally found an identity on defense.
It's written all over signs, printed on shirts and plastered on billboards all around Colts training camp: "BTM" for Build the Monster. Since his hire in 2012, coach Chuck Pagano's plan has focused heavily on the defensive side of the ball.
In 2012, the Colts had the 29th-ranked rushing defense in the NFL, giving up an average of 5.1 yards per attempt and allowing 2,200 total yards. Last season, Indianapolis surrendered 2,002 yards rushing and allowed an average of 4.5 yards per carry.
The Colts added former Browns inside linebacker D'Qwell Jackson and Baltimore Ravens defensive end Arthur Jones this offseason. Jackson led the Browns last season with 141 total tackles, 75 of which were solos, and Jones compiled 53 total tackles and four sacks.
If training camp is any indication, Pagano is now seeing what he has always expected.
"We can play great defense and we will play great defense (with) the players that we've added. It's the third year in the system, from the terminology and communication standpoint, we are ahead of any place we have ever been to this point," he said. "Just watching these guys run around, communicate, be in the right spots, the plays that they're making . I've seen enough to know that if everybody just trusts the call, trusts the guy next to him and they do their job we will play good defense, we will play consistent defense."
Cory Redding is the undisputed veteran voice of the defense. In his 12th season, Redding finished 2013 with 36 tackles and 4½ sacks. Along with their veterans, the Colts are counting on third-year nose tackle Josh Chapman as the anchor in the middle.
Chapman had just 15 total tackles last season, but with Redding's guidance, he carries a clear sense of understanding what is expected this season.
"He (Redding) took me in as a young pup, learning from him and learning how to be a pro. If you want to find energy in someone you look to a Cory Redding," Chapman said. "I feel like to be a top defense overall, you have to stop the run, and I feel like we have a great front seven guys that know how to set the edge and play the 3-4 (defense) and great backers behind us.
"Being a nose guard, keeping those guys clean and being that wrecking ball (is my job)."
Redding, a product of Pagano's defense during his time as a coordinator in Baltimore, embodies the idealism of BTM. Along with Pagano, he is a large part of why the Colts' defense will be an entirely different unit on Sept. 7.
For now, Indianapolis will use the remainder of training camp to buy into what building the monster is all about.
"It's all about being accountable for one another," Redding said. "knowing that whatever I'm going to do is in the best interest of the guys behind me and making sure they're going to make the tackles and play for one another."

When I moved to California in 1980, I came with high expectations for my future.
And why not?
I was marrying – for the second time – and finally found "the man of my dreams." My three kids were eager for the move. Even my mom thought I would have a brighter future.
In fact, she was encouraging enough to give me half the down payment on a California house with a lovely detached cottage for her.
And so I became, in a sense, mom's caregiver. A trend that is accelerating today, according to Jane Bryant Quinn, AARP financial correspondent.
While there is no data yet, Quinn believes the economy – specifically the unemployment rate – is having a drastic impact on the way parents and adult children face the future. For the first time in a generation, increasing numbers are forced to face the future together, often a painful interaction.
"If they're over 55 and lose their job, it's not easy to get another one," Quinn said. "People start going through their savings.
"We talk about boomerang kids going home, but what about parents moving in with the kids? And sometimes these adult children, because of financial concerns, are forced to house a frail parent or one they frankly don't have a good relationship with.
"If the parents aren't young, you've got a problem to start with. Telling them what to do can be a real problem.
"Families need to have regular meetings to discuss what's working and what isn't. Maybe they even need to set up a regular payment system."
Quinn talks about the importance of privacy for elders and notes that "telling them what to do can be a very big problem. You really need to have these family meetings to find out why people are angry."
Parents moving in with a child in other parts of the country also face a friendless social scene, she notes.
"So much of this is personal relations," Quinn said. "Maybe they need to see a financial planner or accountant. At the least, they need to talk, talk, talk about these things. And then there are the intra-family problems when one child does the caregiving but doesn't get paid or recognized when inheritance comes around."
Sherry Martin understands that.
The Irvine mom lost her job in the process of caring for her mother and then her father, both "sent" to her by an older, retired brother. Now he is in charge of distributing the estate and has not, so far, given any recognition to her hours of work.
"I'm still so broken up about my dad's death I haven't thought much about it," Martin said. "But I am miffed at my brother."
Often it takes a professional care manager to work out kinks in family relationships, says Kari Buist-Baker, whose Senior Life Management office is in Mission Viejo.
"We help families make better decisions," she said. "As a case manager, we look at the gamut from legal, medical, pharmaceutical, physical, just every system that's in place."
Often elders don't know where to go, she says. Many are well into their 80s when money runs out or other concerns force them to stop living alone.
"People are simply living longer," Buist-Baker said. "I have one client who is 103."
Colleen Goto-Nettel recalls all the difficulties her mother, Chiyo Goto, faced 12 years ago moving from Las Vegas to her Santa Ana home. And the problems Goto-Nettel had to deal with as the daughter of an independent woman.
Goto-Nettel is national sales director for a major health care firm. She and her husband, John, have no children.
After her father died, her mother wanted to remain in their Las Vegas home. But the trips back and forth and other caregiving demands were too great for her daughter.
"I insisted she move, but in the beginning, it was difficult – it was hard – having a parent live with you. I learned you have to set up ground rules.
"Mom doesn't like to cook and I love to. She loves to do gardening and I don't. I travel more than 50 percent of the time and I have four cats and a dog – well, I'm down to three cats."
Her mother became head of the household, scheduled and regimented in her divisions of duty.
"Actually, it worked out rather well," Goto-Nettel said.
"I have one brother in Las Vegas, but he is in the gaming industry and starts work at 8 at night. I didn't feel Mom would get the best attention from him."
Financially, Goto-Nettel pays expenses. Her mother uses her Social Security and savings to offset part of the utility bills. "It makes her feel like she is contributing," says her daughter.
When her mother stopped driving, Goto-Nettel made arrangements for a cousin to take her to the Tustin Senior Center weekly.
"I went through a period of angst, but she was always a homebody. She is perfectly happy to stay at home, and I was the one worried she was not getting out enough. I'm a very social person. I think I made up problems for myself," Goto-Nettel said.
As Quinn says, "So much of this is personal relationships. No one situation can be the same. You must talk it out."
And we also wondered, are all caregivers women? The answer next week.

Sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is made from pressing sunflower seeds and extracting the oil. It's usually…
- 1 large onion, chopped
Onions are endlessly versatile and an essential ingredient in countless recipes. Native to Asia…
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 400g sweet potatoes, cut into medium chunks
Sweet potatosweet po-tate-toe
Sweet potatoes have a creamy texture and a sweet-spicy flavour that makes them ideal for savoury…
- ½ tsp crushed chilli flakes
- 400g can chopped tomato
- 140g salted, roasted peanuts
- 250g chard, leaves and stems, washed and roughly chopped
Heat a large saucepan with a lid over a medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion and fry until light golden. Stir in the cumin seeds until fragrant, about 1 min, then add the sweet potato, chilli flakes, tomatoes and 750ml water. Stir, cover and bring to the boil, then uncover and simmer for 15 mins.
Meanwhile, whizz the peanuts in a food processor until finely ground, but stop before you end up with peanut butter. Add them to the stew, stir and taste for seasoning – you may want to add a pinch more salt. Simmer for a further 15 mins, stirring frequently.
Finally, stir in the chard. Return to the boil and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 mins or until the chard is cooked. Serve piping hot with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

Regarding Output Parameters and RETVAL: A change that appears to have begun around 4.3.
According to the documentation and previously posted comments, if a stored procedure returns only one Recordset, you could retrieve the RETVAL and Output Params right away. THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE. Beginning around 4.3, you must always use the mssql_next_result() function if any recordset is returned at all.
If you consider the example posted below by fjortizATcomunetDOTes on 26-Dec-2001...
// Execute the Stored Proc
// Get the recordset
print ("Answer: " . $arr[0] . "
" );
// NEW for 4.3: Switch to the next Recordset
// Since there was only one recordset, it will return false...
// And now RETVAL and Output Params are accessible...
print ("RETVAL = $val ; intval = $ival ; floatval = $fval ; string = $sval");
There is also another way, and that is to use a new optional skip parameter on the execute.
mssql_execute($stmt, true);
This appears to ignore any recordsets, allowing you to get at the retval and output parameters immediately.
For more information, please see Bug #21089.

Chrome 4.0 is out with extensions support
Well finally Google has released Chrome 4.0 and with it extensions support amongst the many other features which finally brings some much needed juice to the browser. I've been running Firefox and Chrome simultaneously (Chrome for gmail & google apps, firefox for daily browsing) but I have a feeling I may change to using Chrome full time now.
Some cool extensions to try (most are from Firefox)
- Xmarks Bookmarks Sync – I've been using FoxXmarks to sync my bookmarks for a while now, so its only natural I install this for Chrome. You can also stick with the standard Bookmark sync via Google which you'll need a Google account for.
- Google Mail Checker / Google Alerter – there's also the One Number extension that brings more than just checking gmail.
- AdBlock – probably the number one reason most people wanted extensions in Chrome!
- Forecastfox Weather – My weather extension I use in Firefox.
- FlashBlock – Can't stand videos playing automatically when you load a gazillion tabs and wonder WHO THE EFF is talking?
- Goo.gl URL Shortner – none others required.
- Firebug Lite – Not as feature packed as Firebug, but then why would they call it Lite?
- IETab – Sometimes you gotta.
Chromed. There's lots more if you're into Facebook, Twitter and all the other fancy things these days, even one for uTorrent! Download the latest build and give things a go!
PS. You don't need to restart Chrome to install extensions either!

Accenture defines sustainability as how an organization creates value for its shareholders and society by maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative effects on social, environmental and economic issues and stakeholders.
Our aim is to help agribusinesses develop sustainable solutions that spur innovation, drive operational efficiencies and generate significant cost savings that improve the bottom line. And we understand that sustainability must be linked to an organization's larger performance management goals.
Policy and Regulation
National or global regulations on sustainability have major impacts on agribusinesses. While these policies have the potential to lead to positive change, they can also create major disruptions to existing business models. Accenture can help organizations navigate the uncertainties of new sustainability policies and regulations by evaluating and developing sustainability modeling and planning solutions, allowing clients to better understand future sustainability challenges and opportunities for their organization.
Innovation and New Business
By viewing sustainability as a driver to innovate and create opportunity, organizations are poised to perform at the highest level of social responsibility. Accenture helps agribusinesses integrate the principles of sustainability into both their everyday business processes and their strategic decision making to unlock innovation and travel the road to high performance.
Sustainable Operations
As sustainability becomes more of a focus for governments and consumers, agribusinesses are finding themselves at the center of increasing pressure to build sustainable practices. From increasing sustainability in the supply chain without sacrificing efficiency to sustainable consumption and environmental health and safety management, Accenture uses proven methodologies to help organizations integrate sustainability into the fabric of strategies and operating models under the banner of an intelligent infrastructure.

Coming off of a record 2012, when sales rose 125% to just under $3 million, Pegasus Books publisher Claiborne Hancock hopes to keep the momentum going in 2013 with new hires, more titles, and more e-book sales.
Through the first half of the year, sales were slightly up compared to the first six months of 2012, with e-books helping to lead the way. Pegasus's e-book sales are handled by Open Road Media and became a meaningful part of the house's revenue for the first time in 2012, when e-book sales doubled. To give a further boost to its digital revenue, Pegasus recently created Pegasus Classics, the company's foray into digital-only publishing. Pegasus Classics has acquired six titles to date, and Hancock plans to release about a dozen titles annually via the imprint, which will focus largely on genre fiction and feature original titles and e-book editions of backlist titles.
Growth in e-book revenue notwithstanding, the foundation for Pegasus sales gains has been terrific support from the library market, which accounts for approximately half of the company's business, and steady growth at retail accounts, including sales through independent bookstores. Pegasus has also steadily increased the number of books it releases annually and will publish about 100 this year after producing 90 in 2012. The company is able to release such a large number with a small staff (now at seven) in part because it acquires about half its titles from U.K. publishers and agents.
Pegasus's first big hit, The Ice Princess, published in hardcover in 2010, was from Swedish thriller novelist Camilla Läckberg, and while her subsequent novels have sold well, the company has not replicated her success with other Swedish authors; as a result, Pegasus is now more selective in publishing translations. Still, Hancock has high hopes for The Midas Murders by Flemish author Peter Aspe. The company's list is evenly divided between fiction and nonfiction, and its nonfiction list scored a couple of hits last year with Robert Hardman's Her Majesty and Prince William by Penny Junor, as well as with Caveat Emptor, the memoir of art forger Ken Perenyi. Trade paperback editions of all three books are coming out this summer and fall, and Hancock is hoping that the birth of Prince George of Cambridge will result in increased interest in Prince William. Pegasus has set a 10,000-copy first printing for the edition, which will have four new chapters, including one devoted to William and Kate's firstborn.
With sales of its books rising, Pegasus has been able to generate more foreign-rights sales, which are handled by Linda Biagi's Biagi Rights Management firm. The company is also now firmly on the radar of U.S. agents. "We get more submissions than we can handle," Hancock said. To give Pegasus more bandwidth, it hired Iris Blasi as marketing director and senior editor. Blasi, whose first day was August 12, will help ramp up the house's social media activities and acquire new books. "2012 was a real breakthrough for us," Hancock said of the publisher, which was founded in 2006. "We are working to build on that success."

6 Possible Explanations for the 9-2 Blowout
I can't say last night's 9-2 thrashing by the Twins was a big surprise, though I would have preferred a fifth straight win and the chance to get over the .500 mark.
1. First of all, it would have been natural to have a letdown after the emotionally-charged weekend sweep at Wrigley.
2. The off-day on Monday might very well have stifled the Sox momentum.
3. Earlier in the day, the Sox attended the funeral of popular batting practice pitcher/coach Kevin Hickey. So, the day probably manifested into more of a reflective one than an atmosphere suited for a hard-nosed victory on the baseball diamond.
4. We continue NOT to play our best ball against the Twins. We've gotten better lately, but I guess it's something about those uniforms.
5. The Sox have trouble facing pitchers they've never seen.
6. If the first five points didn't contribute to the disappointing loss, this one certainly did: Simply put, this kind of blowout happens in baseball.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
- "Professor Dumbledore seems to have been writing for a Wizarding audience, so I have occasionally inserted an explanation of a term or fact that might need clarification for Muggle readers."
- —J. K. Rowling, The Tales of Beedle the Bard[src]
J. K. Rowling was a Muggle author. Despite being a Muggle, she had a connection to the wizarding world for an unknown reason, and was an acquaintance of Albus Dumbledore.
J. K. Rowling authored Wizards' Book[1] and the 2008 edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard .[2] Along with Comic Relief, she set up a fund in Harry Potter's name for proceeds from the sales of special copies of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages to be used to help struggling children worldwide.[3][4] She would later associate with another charity, the Children's High Level Group, to distribute royalties from the sale of The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
Rowling was also apparently associated with the Wizarding Examinations Authority, as her signature appeared on completion certificates for the Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test.
- "J.K. Rowling is a world authority on Quidditch and has been writing about the sport since 1990. Royston Idlewild, former player and International Director of the ICWQC, described her as 'perhaps the only person in the world who knows more about Quidditch than I do.'"
- —Description[src]
In addition to this, Rowling had access to a computer on which she frequently used the internet.[5] She was the Quidditch correspondent for Pottermore, and provided information for them on the Quidditch World Cup to share with Muggles; in addition to this, she gave insight into Muggle sports from a wizarding perspective as well[5].
She had knowledge of magical history, and wrote the book Magic in North America.
Behind the scenes
- As this individual is the in-universe counterpart of J. K. Rowling, it is likely she also authored the in-universe counterpart of the Harry Potter series.

Divas Uncovered
Hardcover: 192 pages
"We go out there, we're sexy, we're strong, we're beautiful and athletic...we've redefined the word DIVA." -- Trish Stratus WWE Raw Tenth Anniversary, January 14, 2004
There's no doubt that World Wrestling Entertainment is represented by the most beautiful and athletic women in sports entertainment, if not the entire world.

Divas Uncovered is a lavishly designed, diary-style photojournal that focuses solely on these unique women, combining their thoughts, feelings, and desires with photographs -- many of which are exclusive to this book -- of the Divas in the squared circle, during private moments backstage, on the road, and with each other.
Make no mistake, each and every one of these Divas -- Lilian Garcia, Jackie Gayda, Joy Giovanni, Christy Hemme, Ivory, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, Lita, Dawn Marie, Michelle McCool, Candice Michelle, Trish Stratus, Victoria, and Torrie Wilson -- enjoy working hard and playing hard. But do you know which of these amazing ladies loves being able to "unleash" her quirky personality, or wants an "on-call man" available at all times? Who among them likes using power tools or riding motorcycles? Which Diva doesn't fear a "wardrobe malfunction" ringside, or adheres to a daily regimen of push-ups to stay "perky"? Find out the body part that Stacy reveals earns the most compliments from fans, the Diva whom Candice loves rooming with most, and the male Superstar Lita would like to be stranded on a deserted island with. Divas Uncovered is your personal key into the Divas' locker room, exposing you to these intimate details, and many more.
Come see what's really underneath these Divas. You'll be pleasantly surprised by what you find.

Home-made plum, star anise and amoretti ice cream
I am hanging on to summer. Well, sort of.
As I walked (rather than take the car) to pick up ingredients today with the boy in the buggy I sniffled lightly as I thought of all the work I have pending. Exam season is near, but it's still summer isn't it because there is still a week before it all kicks off. A whole week. I looked down at my jumper; well at least it has a floral print on it eh? And you know the menu for my upcoming cookery class has kale included, maybe I should just give in.
I mean there is even back-to-school stuff in the shops and the swimming pool is already quieter for all the children are screaming in playgrounds now. There is more traffic building up on the roads and the trampoline in the garden is filling up with rain water. I am still making the season's last visits to the zoo and well, making ice cream.
So when the chap from Riverford tucked a box of seasonal jewels near my garden with a wrapper l on it and I saw it as I arrived home, my boy and turned our glances away from the wilting flowers and drying rose bushes to grab it and see because we have learned after a few deliveries that the quality of the fruit and vegetables we get is absolutely outstanding. Here is the thing, with no word of exaggeration. The corn we got this week is probably some of the best corn we have eaten in years. Years! I also got a perfectly sweet-tart and sunny looking plums with which I have struck a deal with the season-Gods. They bestow these beauties and I pretend it is still summer by adding a touch of exotic and aniseed-sexy star anise and I wouldn't be me if I didn't create a little Asian-Italian fusion with the amoretti biscuits. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I will. This ice-cream is out of this world. It is sensational. You have to do it. The creaminess is exquisite and definitely not bashful. The spice is bold and the plums, they are tantalisingly sensual.
for the full recipe head over to great british chefs
I am sharing this recipe with Eat your Veg and Delicieux for the four seasons challenge
