We can blame the D all we want but its hard to play well when your O keeps giving the other team the ball.
I am so sick of hearing this bull**** excuse. The Jets defense is getting pummeled right out of the locker room. The first Bronco series of the game is the same as we've been seeing every week: They just galloped down the field with hardly a fight and scored a TD.
Yeah, they have been on the field a lot this year, and maybe they are demoralized at this point. But if that's the case, then that's the same as saying they've given up, which is what they look like: defeated. For that state of affairs, you have to blame the coaches.

Civic engagement refers to the ways in which individuals and groups participate in the life of a community in order to improve conditions that shape the community's future. Participating in civil society by voting, understanding the issues of the day, and engaging in civil and productive conversation with others is one of the many strengths of the United States and an important part of integration for new Americans.
Civic engagement is a key component of integration and building welcoming communities
Voting and participating in civil society are key to both the integration and naturalization processes. When naturalized immigrants and refugees exercise their right to vote, they empower themselves to be full members of their new communities. Even immigrants and refugees who are not yet naturalized, and therefore cannot yet vote, they bring important contributions to social issues important to their communities, through participating in events educating the public about the benefits that newcomers bring to their communities and the need to build stronger, more welcoming communities.
We affirm that it is important for policy makers to take time to meet refugees and immigrants and understand their struggles. Although our various faiths come from many political perspectives, we come together to educate our local policy makers on the importance of building stronger, more welcoming communities. The level of civic engagement in which our network participates helps build champions across party lines, at the local and national levels to create policies that lift up and value refugees and immigrants in our communities. Civic engagement work can also energize current volunteers and develop new leaders, as it brings communities together to engage with policy makers on meeting challenges and building stronger communities.
Our civic engagement work is non-partisan, and does not endorse any candidate or political party
The IIC is made up of non-partisan, 501(c)3 organization. This means that we will not be endorsing parties or candidates, but we will continue, as we always have, to promote welcoming communities.

Why Should We Get Out the Vote?
- The call to promote justice, compassion, and equality is one shared across many faiths. Voting and participating in civil society are key to both the integration and naturalization processes.
- When naturalized immigrants and refugees exercise their right to vote, they empower themselves to be full members of their new communities.
- The goal of a get out the vote campaign is to get as many people from our grassroots base to vote and assist others in the voting process.
SERMONS & FAITH INITIATIVES ON CIVIC ENGAGEMENT (Follow Links for More Information)
Rev. Phill Kniss Park View Mennonite Church
Jesus rubbed shoulders with the power structures—religious powers and state powers, the politics of the temple and the politics of Caesar.He was quite willing to confront either one, but not on their terms. The religious politicians were stuck on a certain kind of legalistic righteousness. Jesus confronted their power, but not by taking over their positions in the temple, and enforcing a new righteousness. He confronted their power by touching lepers, eating with tax collectors, hanging with sinful women, and otherwise living a different kind of righteousness. He practiced the politics of radical love.
Rev. Chuck Currie, United Church of Christ
Part of what the Bible provides is a philosophy of how to led both our private and our public lives. If we are compassionate to the individuals we encounter and concerned with justice above all else in community affairs then it is said we are building up God's Kingdom. It is always easier for a minister to talk about personal responsibility than it is to talk about what we need to do to improve society. But we cannot as Christians afford to forget about the larger world because Jesus didn't and part of our obligation as the faithful is to follow Jesus even into difficult places.
The Christian in the Voting Booth By Lutheran Rev. Richard Futrell
From a Christian worldview, we see voting as a divine gift that allows us to think the way God thinks, to act the way He acts. Through voting, we can see others the way God sees them in His mercy. It's a way to show mercy and compassion, in the way God shows mercy and compassion. As Scripture says, "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful" (Luke 6:36).
Catholic Bishops- Consciousness for Faithful Participation
We urge our Catholic pastors and people to continue to use this important statement to help them form their consciences, to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue, and to shape their choices in the coming election in the light of Catholic teaching. The statement lifts up our dual heritage as both faithful Catholics and American citizens. We are members of a community of faith with a long tradition of teaching and action on human life, and dignity, marriage and family, justice and peace, care for creation, and the common good.
National Council of Churches Christian Principles
Our faith compels us to address the world through the lens of our relationship to God and to one another. Public discourse is enhanced as we engage civic leaders on the values and ethics affirmed by our faith.
Reform Judaism Resources on Voter Engagement
As people of faith and American citizens we have an obligation to participate in the elections to ensure that our country's policies at the local, state and national levels reflect our commitment to social justice. Please see sample voter engagement guide for Reform Jewish Congregations at
Preachers Prepare to Get Souls to the Polls
"Our duty today," said Barbara Arnwine, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, before a crowd of African-American clergy members, "is to remember that the Bible tell us: 'For lack of knowledge, the people perish.' " The Congressional Black Caucus and the Conference of National Black Churches joined forces on Wednesday for their inaugural Faith Leaders Summit on Voting Rights. The Washington, D.C., forum, attended by members of Congress and about 200 leaders from black churches across the country, was designed to inform attendees about restrictive state-level voting laws passed around the country and to empower them to share with their home congregations information about surmounting subsequent voting obstacles.

ASHLAND, Ky. (WSAZ-TV) -- Residents on Ferguson Street in Ashland say not much goes on in their normally quiet neighborhood.
But on Thursday night, that peacefulness was turned upside down by the sight of sheriff's cruisers swarming the area. It was all due to a house along the street that's the target of a drug investigation.
"We'd received information that they were selling (drugs) to underage kids as well as adults," Sgt. Robert Donta with the Boyd County Sheriff's Department said. "We went to do surveillance at the house and saw several kids stay about 30 seconds and be in and out."
Investigators say the alleged drug dealers inside were targeting students at nearby schools, trying to get them to buy marijuana.
"[Residents] said the heaviest traffic was before school, around lunch time at school and it got even worse right after school," Sgt. Donta said.
On Thursday, deputies decided to check it out, and quickly made their move.
"They called and within four hours we had a search warrant and were kicking the door in," Sgt. Donta said.
Once inside, police say they found several ounces of marijuana and a large amoung of cash. Deputies arrested 20-year-old Akeem Webb and 21-year-old Ryan Peters. Both are from Huntington, and both now face several charges, including possessing and trafficking marijuana.
Mike Seagraves lives down the street from where the bust happened. He says drug activity like this happens far too often. He and his family have now installed security cameras as an extra precaution.
"it doesn't surprise me a bit that its so close to home," Seagraves said. "We're within 2 miles of three schools. It's bad when they're selling it to the kids and all that."
Police say this is a warning to any drug dealers in the area, no matter what they may be pushing.
"We have a saying in our department: not in our county," Sgt. Donta said. "We're going to go after them no matter what they're selling. Marijuana, crack cocaine, we're going to go after them the same way, every time. Especially if they're selling to kids in our community."
Both suspects were taken to the Boyd County Detention Center.

Voter ID bill passes in state Senate

AUSTIN -- With a $27 billion projected revenue shortfall boring a hole into the state's fiscal years 2012 and 2013, it was generally assumed that both houses of the Texas Legislature would move with all possible speed to devise a budget to maintain state government functions on slimmer rations.
But the Senate put that task on hold last week and instead devoted the time to passing a voter identification bill, SB 14. Democrats lost a battle to keep the bill from advancing to floor debate, and lost again on a final 19-11 party-line vote. The bill was written by Troy Fraser, R-Marble Falls, and coauthored by the other 18 Republican members of the body. It passed with nine amendments and now moves to the House for consideration.
During the Senate floor debate, when pressed as to why voter ID should take precedence over the state budget this early in the 140-day session, the answer given by Fraser and other coauthors was that they consider the matter high priority because their constituents believe voter fraud is widespread and they wish to protect the integrity of the voting system.
Democrats argued that voter fraud is rare, that few if any cases of it have led to conviction and that enhanced identification requirements pose an unfair burden on the poor, the aged and on citizens who are not white. But no Republican senator was persuaded to change their vote.
SB 14 features a new public awareness campaign and other requirements, but in brief, it would require election judges to post a list of identification options outside of voting polls, and to vote, a citizen would be required to present their voter registration card in addition to a state-issued photo ID card.
The forms of official photo ID include these: an unexpired Texas driver's license or Texas personal identification card, an unexpired U.S. military ID card, an unexpired U.S. passport, a certificate of U.S. citizenship, a Texas Department of Public Safety-issued concealed handgun carry permit.
List of Senate candidates grows
Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael L. Williams last week resigned from his seat and declared himself a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison. On Jan. 13, Sen. Hutchison said she would not seek another term. Her current term expires on Dec. 31, 2012.
Williams, who is a Republican and the fourth African-American to hold a statewide office in Texas, joins a field of other Republicans who would like to be Hutchison's successor, including Railroad Commissioner Elizabeth Ames Jones; Ted Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general; and Roger Williams, a former Texas secretary of state. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he is exploring a run for the Senate seat and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, reportedly has indicated interest in seeking the seat, too.
Hutchison, a former Texas state treasurer and state representative, has held the Senate seat since 1993.
DPS: Avoid travel to Mexico
Baptist missionary Nancy Davis, 59, was killed last week as she and her husband attempted to escape from gunmen in the state of Tamaulipas, about 70 miles south of McAllen.
The incident prompted the Texas Department of Public Safety on Jan. 28 to warn against travel to Mexico, and Gov. Rick Perry to reiterate the need for increased border security.
DPS Director Steve McCraw said, "If violence does occur, we cannot guarantee that anyone will be brought to justice for those acts."
This was the fourth time in the past year, because of spikes in violence, that the DPS issued a warning against travel in Mexico.
AG promotes financial literacy
When most students graduate from college, the debt for years of tuition, books, fees and living costs comes home to roost in a big way. Even with a college diploma attesting to their fitness for an array of life responsibilities, how to pay off the debt can be a daunting conundrum.
That's why Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott was in San Antonio Jan. 27: to provide credit card and debt education materials to the University of Texas at San Antonio.
This was a gesture in support of a new law that requires state colleges and universities to educate their students about personal financial management. The attorney general's office developed the money-management materials.

My question is why do some oppose verifying your identification when voting? Unfair burden on the old and those who are not white? Why?

Home prices close out 2011 on a sour note
In December, all three Case-Shiller home-price indexes and four major cities reach post-housing-crisis lows. Is this the housing bottom?
That thud you heard in December? It was home prices hitting their lowest level in nearly a decade.
S&P/Case-Shiller reported today that its 20- and 10-city home-price indexes reached their lowest points since the housing crisis began in 2006. The 20-city index was down 1.1% in December, compared with November, and down 4% from December 2010. The 10-city index also was down 1.1% from November and slipped 3.9% from December 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2011, prices decreased 3.8% from the previous quarter and 4% from a year earlier.
Home prices now sit at late-2002 levels nationally, with all three indexes — plus Atlanta, Las Vegas, Seattle and Tampa, Fla. — hitting low points since the downturn began in 2006.
Post continues below
Meanwhile, Detroit and Dallas were the only cities the index tracks that showed a year-to-year increase, though Motor City prices fell 3.8% from November to December. Atlanta registered the deepest annual decline, with prices dropping 12.8% year to year.
David M. Blitzer, chairman of S&P's index committee, said in a press release that these data closed the year on a "disappointing note," all but wiping out hopes of market stabilization.
"The pickup in the economy has simply not been strong enough to keep home prices stabilized," he said. "If anything, it looks like we might have re-entered a period of decline as we begin 2012."
What's the culprit? Slow economic growth, for one, Blitzer said.
As Teresa Mears pointed out here yesterday, the price dip also could be a partial byproduct of more realistic expectations on the part of home sellers. More than 50% of sellers say they're pricing their homes more competitively than they would have last year, a recent Coldwell Banker study says. Some commenters on our Facebook page agreed; one noted that he had seen sales fall through because "the seller was not willing to accept the market realities."
Falling prices in the luxury-home sector, which didn't see huge declines in the recession, also are emerging. AnnaMaria Andriotis wrote on SmartMoney's blog that some cities are witnessing stabilization among lower-priced properties but signs of decay among higher-priced ones:
To date, homeowners in expensive neighborhoods have been better equipped to handle the housing downturn than those with the lowest-priced real estate within the same city, says (housing analyst Jack) McCabe. Well-off homeowners who lost their jobs were more likely to have savings or retirement accounts they could dip into to pay their mortgage, says Brad Hunter, chief economist at Metrostudy, a housing market research and consulting company. Many of them also had valuable assets to sell, such as jewelry or cars, to stay afloat. But with the job market still weak, those still trying to find work could be running low on ways to pay their mortgage, says Hunter. A growing alternative could be to go into foreclosure, experts say, which would in turn lower prices of nearby homes.
On the bright side, January's market statistics already look promising, at least in terms of increased housing demand. The National Association of Realtors reported yesterday that the number of homes under contract reached its highest level since the days of the homebuyer tax credit. Existing-home sales also hit a 20-month high.
And they could be even higher, if billionaire Warren Buffett followed through on his comments to CNBC yesterday about buying up "a couple hundred-thousand" homes.
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO also made headlines yesterday for admitting in that company's shareholders letter that he was wrong to say the housing market would recover this year. He did add, however, that "housing will come back — you can be sure of that."

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - Family members of murder victim Christine Whitis cried quietly in court Wednesday morning as jurors were shown video evidence of her body during day three of William Clyde Gibson's trial.
Indiana State Police Detective Bill Wibbels was on the stand while the 12-minute video played. Wibbels was the lead crime scene investigator the day Whitis' body was found inside a garage at Gibson's New Albany home in April 2012.
Some jurors wiped their eyes after they watched the video, which showed the 75-year-old Whitis' twisted and battered body.
Wibbels testified that when he first saw Whitis' body, his first thoughts were "unbelievable" and "unnatural." He told the jury he's seen a lot of murder victims, but seeing Whitis' body was like seeing his grandmother's.
Gibson currently is on trial only for Whitis' murder. He will be tried two more times for the murders of two other women.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) The Green Bay Packers return to the practice field today, to start going over the game-plan for Sunday's match-up at Saint Louis. It's the final contest in a three-game road stretch for the Packers – and a victory would even their season road mark at 2-and-2, and put the Pack over .500 overall at 4-and-3. But most of all, it would give Green Bay its first back-to-back wins of the season, and provide a little momentum after a rough and injury-riddled start.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined the walking wounded when he hurt a leg on a touchdown run that was called back by a penalty. On his weekly radio show yesterday, Rodgers said he should have slid – but he thinks he'll be okay.
He also said Sunday night's 42-24 win at Houston was not fueled by all the doubts expressed about the Packers by the fans and the media – but it didn't hurt. He said it's easy for the media to highlight a team that's not meeting its expectations – and hopes are extremely high for the Pack after their 15-and-1 regular season a year ago.
Also today, the team plans to learn more about several injured starters – including receiver Greg Jennings, nose tackle B-J Raji, linebacker Nick Perry, and corner Sam Shields.

Policy Discussion Papers
Providing you with in-depth analysis of monetary and financial policy.
- No. 28
- Workshop on Entrepreneurial Finance: A Summary
- This Policy Discussion Paper summarizes papers that were presented at the Workshop on Entrepreneurial Finance, which was held March 12–13, 2009, at the Federal Feserve Bank of Cleveland. Researchers presented new empirical research that exploits data sets on entrepreneurial activity that are based on broad and representative data samples. Papers in the workshop focused primarily on analyses of the sources and structure of start-up finance, including the importance of bank lending, venture capital, angel investors, and owner equity.

- No. 27
- On Systemically Important Financial Institutions and Progressive Systemic Mitigation
- One of the most important issues in the regulatory reform debate is that of systemically important financial institutions. This paper proposes a framework for identifying and supervising such institutions; the framework is designed to remove the advantages they derive from becoming systemically important and to give them more time-consistent incentives. It defines criteria for classifying firms as systemically important: size (the classic doctrine of too big to let fail) and the four C's of systemic importance (contagion, concentration, correlation, and conditions); it also discusses the concept of progressive systemic mitigation. [NOTE: This issue is available only on-line. It was not printed.] Read more (PDF)
- No. 26
- A Conference on Liquidity in Frictional Markets
- This Policy Discussion Paper summarizes the papers that were presented at the Liquidity in Frictional Markets conference in November 2008. The papers, which looked at markets for assets as diverse as houses, bank loans, and electronic funds transfer, all explored that amorphous concept called "liquidity" and how its presence—or absence—affects the economy. (PDF)
- No. 25
- Understanding Ohio's Land Bank Legislation
The effects of sustained high rates of foreclosure on numerous areas of Cuyahoga County have thrust land banking to the forefront of recent public policy discussions in Ohio. This Policy Discussion Paper seeks to inform those discussions by explaining the state's traditional land banking system and illustrating how the new land banking system, spelled out in Senate Bill 353/House Bill 602 and signed into law January 2009, works.
Originally published January 6, 2009. Updated January 30, 2009, to reflect changes in legislation. (PDF)

I'll take some of Number 2 and 11 please. =)ReplyDelete
Ha! Do you really want/need more random utensils in your kitchen!? Or are you gonna clear yours OUT and then replace them with mine..? :)~ReplyDelete
...and you've got some weight to gain before you can inherit any of my clothes, friend! :-)
Wow! I just came across this! LOVE this! Starting TOMORROW! :)ReplyDelete
This is great! Thanks for the inspiration! =) What font did you use to make that list?? LOVE it!ReplyDelete
hi! i LOVE this idea!!ReplyDelete
i just shared your list on my facebook page and hope to inspire lots of people to take on your challenge!!
xo ~ kristi
Just saw this on facebook, after I get back from my wedding, I am so doing this challenge! :] Also sharing on my facebook!ReplyDelete
Found this on pinterest. Shared it on my blog. Am doing my own starting today! Thanks for the {much needed} inspiration!ReplyDelete
Ooh! Love this idea. Totally doing it. I think I should start with the diapers... (I'm a cloth diaper addict. Is there a 12 step program for that?)ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJune 4, 2012 at 5:09 PM
Good for you!! You don't need a 12 step program.Delete
I read about this on Pinterest and I LOVE the idea. What do you do with the stuff you 'throw away'.... do you literally put it in the trash? Do you donate it? Do you give it away, say on 'Freecycle'? That is always the hard part for me. I hate to just waste things that might be useful to someone else. I'm going to try this! Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
Hi Anne,ReplyDelete
No, I don't literally put it in the trash ... (well, maybe some of it - the stuff that SHOULD be there!:)~ Otherwise, most of my "stuff" went to Goodwill. And some I've got in the garage, ready for a garage sale. :)~
I just came by your blog by chance, and LOVE this idea! I am going to give it a go when I can!!! Probably next week!!!ReplyDelete
Just found this on Pinterest and loved the idea. I have now adjusted your list to fit my life/home and will be featuring it on my blog. Hopefully some of my friends will join in.ReplyDeleteReplies

Sorry Anonymous ...ReplyDelete
Takes me longer to reply to you gals who don't have a "no reply" email! :)-
All of the fonts I use are from kevinandamanda.com :-)
You totally inspired me!!! Thank you!ReplyDelete
This is great. Pretty sure I'll have to do this before I move in the spring. With this small apartment I'll have less than 40 but still feels nice to purge/give some stuff away rather than moving it... to a new place... where it will fight for space with all my other stuff.ReplyDelete
I just found this on pinterest and really love it. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I love Pintrest, Thanks for the idea. I'll see how I go.ReplyDelete

Love this! I'm on day two and it reminds me of the decluttering I did when I started flylady.com. Who knew I still had so much clutter!ReplyDelete
We move every so many years cause of the military and we have lots of boxes that seem to keep "traveling" with us that should go away. I have been trying to go through them for awhile, I even thought while my son was visiting his grandparents I would get them done (YEAH RIGHT). Hopefully with this list I can get not only the boxes done, but the house done before our next move. Thank you!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Brenda you have the same issues I have. Got to love those military moves and the unpacked boxes that keep traveling with you. My "traveling" boxes are currently cluttering up the garage.Delete
I am currently working on "traveling boxes" some go as far back as from my childhood...Sad but true. I love getting into a box from a previous marriage and realizing I can purge all of it or at least most of it! Fantastic feeling moving forward.Delete
That i s a great to do list! I am going to get started this afternoon. I want to totally declutter before we move across the country!ReplyDelete

So happy to have found your list! It gives me something to go on. I did clean out under the bed on Saturday and boy what a mess. I take this challenge in the hopes of regaining my space one bag at a time! Found you on pinterest!ReplyDelete
I have done this 2x since moving from Missouri this summer. 1st time was all of the extra clothes and things I didn't feel I needed back in Texas. Once we got to Texas, I sorted boxes by what I had opened and reclosed and those that still had original movers' tape. (long story short - I moved to missouri from Texas to a small place - too small for my 3 bedroom house full of stuff then moved back to Texas less than a year later with the same unpacked boxes.) I figured if I hadn't opened them in Missouri it wasn't worth opening in my temporary house. After awhile though I got tired of a room full of boxes, so a friend of mine and I opened each box, threw away, gave away and put away 80%. Some of it will probably get a 3rd purge when we finally get to my permanent home. I can't waitReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 28, 2012 at 8:17 PM
OMG, this is the best idea!!!!! Something I can manage, one bag a day and NOT the entire house. Going to start this quest ASAP!!!ReplyDelete
I'm going to start this today for Lent and blog about it! Great idea!ReplyDelete
What size are your bags?ReplyDelete
Nice read! I like the suggestions.ReplyDelete
Found this in perfect timing! I will be using this for my Lenten practice <3ReplyDelete
I love this idea.... seem easy! Just printed the daily progress sheet! ;)ReplyDelete

It's a hot new trend on the popular site "Instagram." A darker side of social media that showcases young women's bodies. Teens, girls as young as ten, competing for attention and approval.
It's a wakeup call to parents who may not realize there's more to Instagram than innocent postings.
The comments. The racy photos. Teenaged girls so young we can't show their faces are entering beauty contests on Instagram.
"They're really young and they shouldn't be showing off on the internet," said one girl.
"I've seen girls post half naked pictures to get more likes," another girl told us.
There's no way to trace when or who started these so-called pageants. But a keyword search of #beautycontest turned up more than 10,000 posts.
But unlike a real pageant there's no crown.
The girl with the most likes wins. The loser's photo is branded with a red x.
17-year-old Gabby Deangelo, a fan of Instagram, describes what's taking place as a popularity contest -- and the photos she has seen as provocative.
"Bedtime with like full on makeup blown out like hair and big ol' boobs," says Deangelo.
Deangelo, who has not participated in a beauty contest herself, says girls seem to be baring it all just to find out what people think of them.
"They're showing what the guys want and the guys are the majority of their likes."
What experts say the contestants don't think about are the consequences. This snapshot in time is forever saved in cyberspace. There are also long-term emotional risks.
"This can cause depression, this can cause anxiety for the young girls, they can really suffer and they may not know who to talk to about it because they are the one who put the picture on there in the first place," says teen psychologist Dr. Morgan Francis.
Dr. Morgan Francis explains that even positive affirmation, or likes, could cause girls to develop negative behavior as an adult.
"You're going to keep wanting to maybe dress more seductively or sexually because that's what got you attention in the first place."
"A lot of the parents don't know about it because they don't even know that their kids on the site exposing their bodies and stuff. There's a few you see they pose normal and stuff, most of them it's their body," said one girl.
There could be security risks as well. 100 million people a month use Instagram, according to the popular site. Unless you activate a privacy setting, anyone, even perfect strangers can view the pictures posted by the young women.
Teens who think they're just having fun.
A statement was issued on behalf of Instagram: "We are aware this is a trend taking place on virtually every media platform that teens engage with. We work hard to make Instagram a safe, interesting and vibrant place for teens to spend time and express their creativity through photos. As with other social products, we encourage parents to take an active role in understanding what their kids are posting and who they are sharing with."

Dear Clients: How About We Find Some Self Confidence For You?

I LOVE Dal so much, so I wanted to share these three recipes with you. The spices range from super simple to more complex, so you can probably find one that works well for you.
But first, thanks for the feedback about my E-book on my last post!
The first recipe, is one taught to me by the Matriarch of the family I used to cook for. She is from Pakistan and this is her simple recipe. Everyone who has tried it, loves it and it's really good for people who like simpler food.
The second recipe is a one pot meal for sure, with sweet potato and greens. It has more traditional dal flavors and is my go to recipe!
Finally, the third recipe was definitely a clean out the fridge deal, but it was soooo delicious. Make it just once the way it was written and I guarantee you will make it over and over again!

Check out progress toward the Tobacco indicators! [PDF - 283 KB]
Find evidence-based resources from this related topic area:
Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States, yet more deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.1, 2
In 2009, an estimated 20.6% of all American adults age 18 and older—46.6 million people—smoked,3 and every day another 850 young people age 12 to 17 began smoking on a daily basis.4 As a result of widespread tobacco use, approximately 443,000 Americans die from tobacco-related illnesses, such as cancer and heart disease, each year. An estimated 49,000 of these deaths are the result of secondhand smoke exposure.1 For every person who dies from tobacco use, another 20 suffer from at least one serious tobacco-related illness.5
Tobacco use poses a heavy burden on the U.S. economy and medical care system. Each year, cigarette smoking costs more than $193 billion in medical care costs, while secondhand smoke costs an additional $10 million.1, 6 Tobacco use is thus one of the Nation's deadliest and most costly public health challenges.
Tobacco use in any form—even occasional smoking—causes serious diseases and health problems, including:
Secondhand smoke from cigarettes and cigars also causes heart disease and lung cancer in adults and a number of health problems in infants and children, including:
Smokeless tobacco causes a number of serious oral health problems, including cancer of the mouth and gums, periodontal disease, and tooth loss.

Summary: Phil Randazzo, owner of the trendy Tasso Restaurant in New Orleans, is being haunted and he's not at all happy about it. Strange supernatural events are taking place in the home he shares with his new wife, Michelle. Michelle's late husband, the legendary Cajun musician A. P. Savoie, begins to appear at will and inhabit everyday objects. As Savoie's presence grows stronger, the couple asks for help-psychics and exorcists are consulted until Phil narrowly escapes a deadly accident. Clearly, the honeymoon is over; but what, if anything, does Savoie want from them? In The Year of Past Things, the acclaimed author of The Worst Day of My Life, So Far has conjured up a savvy ghost story with a healthy helping of New Orleans flair.

i have been very sporadic with my postings on the blog + with listings in the store lately. i do apologize.
the main reason: trying to find a new place is like having a full time job on top of trying to run a business and possibly having a social life.
above is a pic of a development called 14 townhouses. (14townhouses.com) it's about 6 blocks away from my house. and they are my dream houses; they are so spacious and modern and look way better in person. the best thing is that the people who live there keep their windows uncovered so you can see how beatiful they are living.
side note: do all rich people hate curtains/shades? that is very popular in my neighborhood. but i digress…
i even know which one i would like to live in (279 state st, which is the one to the left of the gray house.) i usually walk on the block and day dream of owning one of them. of me throwing lavish parties. of arriving in front of my house in a cab after closing a big business deal in the city. of opening the door to invite my boyfriend lupe (fiasco) in for dinner (which i probably paid someone to cook; i'm not very domestic). of living there and only have an office + a few samples because naKIMuli inc will have a showroom in the city. (yes, i will be balling that much.) but of course this is all a dream for now cuz i can't afford to buy a 3.5 million dollar house. yet.
and it seems like i can't afford to rent an apt either. damn, this process of looking for a place to live is so draining!!! i guess i have had good luck in the past. i found my current apt very quickly. and i live in an amazing neighborhood and pay an insanely low amount of rent compared to the neighborhood asking price. but things have changed big time within 6 yrs. the ghetto neighborhoods have/are starting to become gentrified + the rents are already reflecting it. and just imagine, it will be even more insane once the market bounces back.
i don't really have a reason for this rambling. i am just so discouraged right now…i know i will find the place i am supposed to be soon, but this process sucks. and it takes up so much of my day that all i can do is look for an apt + fulfill orders. cuz, as my friend khalia observed in our 4 hr convo, anything outside of that is creating so much anxiety that i need to just focus on the things that are immediate. but in a way, this process just makes me wanna work harder/smarter so i can be on top and afford a million dollar house. soon.
and if u hear of anything, i am looking for a 2 bedroom apt (or a loft) in brooklyn. preferably within a 15 minute train ride to the city. need more deets? email me : firstname.lastname@example.com
from naKIMuli—-the cater dress
my business, of course! i have so many things i am gearing up for the end of this yr + the beginning of next yr. wish i could move fast enough to get them done!
from shanae—-101 dress (coming soon)
at first i was only getting them in the mail. then my friend convinced me to watch the instant movies on my computer. i am hooked! damn u netflix!
any type of tutu/petticoat has got me anticipating an event to rock it to.
As much as i despise gentrification, i still daydream about "moving on up" + living in a bk luxury high rise building. i already have my building picked out. lol i need a doorman!
my recent babies! got them on right now. lol looking to get more even though i am the worst heel walker (not really but really.)
designed this houndstooth pencil skirt last yr but it started my current obsession for them. will have some variations in the new label.
twisted pencil skirt coming soon
naKIMuli mermaid/pencil skirt available now!
just started on my journey of going to the gym + embarking on a vegan diet. started november 1st + so far i luv it! i never looked forward to cooking until now. in an hr, i will start cooking dinner. yay! wouldn't offer my food to anyone just yet (even though my girl daizy tried some of it yesterday + is still alive), but give me a couple of months…
took me a while to join twitter. there is nothing spectacular about it but i luv it. guess cuz i follow some cool people who inspire me: rev run, deepak chopra, june ambrose, russell simmons, my girl chanel of junkprints, and my boy taqiy of go tee entertainment .

Rashida Tlaib, an attorney and state lawmaker representing Detroit, says she was sexually harassed by prominent Arab-American civil rights advocate Imad Hamad. She says it happened 15 years ago when she worked for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Dearborn."He's being very aggressive, trying to kiss the girls, putting them in headlocks, pushing them up against walls," Tlaib said.In a letter to the group's national office, she said eight other women who worked or volunteered with the ADC filed written complaints against Hamad in 2007, but they were not taken seriously."I've never felt so guilty about the fact that maybe I should've gone much more public about this, maybe even in 2007, but I didn't know that they were going to botch the investigation. I didn't know that there were going to be so many more victims," Tlaib said.The state representative says she is coming forward now after seeing a photo of Hamad with a new group of young female interns posted on Facebook. She says she left the ADC after just five months on the job because the harassment made her physically sick."Making references to some of my body parts, it was very uncomfortable, whispering in my ear during community events about things that were of a sexual nature," Tlaib said.Hamad's attorney agreed to talk to us at his office in Troy. He said his client stepped down willingly while the investigation moves forward."Obviously, the allegations are very serious, and they are to be treated very serious. The challenging part is the allegation was kind of dated. It goes back to 1999," said Shareef Akeel.The attorney pointed out Hamad has done a lot of good work for the community. He is asking people not to rush to judgement.The ADC says an independent investigation will now take place.

The Medibuntu repository has been unmaintained for several months, and has become more and more useless over the years. The project is now considered abandoned, and we recommend to disable the repository if you are using it.
The project is not really needed nowadays, except for one package: libdvdcss. This package is now maintained by Jonathan Riddell at Blue Systems. It is available in a repository hosted by VideoLAN.
To disable the Medibuntu repository and enable the libdvdcss one, use these commands:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
curl ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add --
echo "deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list
sudo apt-get update
If you are using Ubuntu saucy, you can also install libdvdcss using an alternative method (make sure to install/upgrade the libdvdread4 package first).
