Politico: US Senator Michael Crapo (R-Idaho) was arrested for driving under the influence early Sunday morning in Alexandria, Virginia.
Police said Crapo was seen running a red light and was pulled over, after which he failed field sobriety tests. He was taken into custody without incident.
If you care about clean air & water and the climate, you should be scared of Paul Ryan
Presidential nominee Mitt "the shit" Romney has selected golden boy of the GOP Paul Ryan as his Vice Presidential running mate. Completely ignoring his record on the economy, social issues, government reform, etc. I'm going to tell you why you might not want to vote for this duo on the ticket come November if you care just a little bit about the environment.
- Paul Ryan voted to deregulate the EPA from monitoring and regulating greenhouse gasses, which are the main contributor to climate change
- Paul Ryan has voted against tax breaks, credits, and incentives for renewable energy projects
- Paul Ryan has voted for keeping subsidies for oil & gas exploration
- Paul Ryan has voted for eliminating the "critical habitat" protection ruling in the Endangered Species Act
- Paul Ryan has voted against government grants encouraging families to get outdoors and increasing conservation education across America
For a man who supposedly fishes and hunts regularly, he sure the hell isn't a proper sportsman who cares about protecting wildlife habitat from the threats of climate change and human encroachment.

"I've looked at the numbers and (Nicole LeFavour) can win," said Larry Grant as he mapped out the district on the napkin…
The slate is one of the most-robust ever put out by Idaho Democrats. The party recruited more than 90 statehouse candidates and 82 of them will be on the Tuesday, Nov. 6, ballot, representing every district except three: No. 14, which includes Eagle and Star, and Nos. 27 (Mindoka and Cassia counties) and 30 (Bonneville County).
GOP strategist Jack Burkman and Mother Jones reporter James West join the Power Panel to determine whether brush fires in Colorado and flooding in Florida should be linked to climate change. "This isn't an inside the beltway conspiracy," West says. "The evidence has been mounting for many, many years." But Burkman says, "Even if it is true — so what? There's nothing we can do about it anyway."
Advantage: West.
Typical Republicans. They either say climate change doesn't exist or they say it does exist yet we can't do anything about it with a "fuck it" attitude.

Well since it is public record now (thanks Republicans) I'll tell you that I was one of the few in District 20 to write in James Mace. I'm happy to see he made the ballot for November; we definitely need an alternative to incumbent Chuck Winder (who this year tried to pass a mandated ultrasound-before-abortion bill).
— Idaho State Senator Chuck Winder's final (disgusting) comments on his bill mandating women to receive ultrasounds before abortion procedures happen. It has passed the Senate and is waiting to be heard in the House Committee.

Easily one of my favorite Idaho State Senators, Nicole LeFavour, will be stepping down from her State post and will be running against Republican incumbent Mike Simpson in Idaho's 2nd Congressional District. She has been such a positive voice and role model for the Democratic and LGBT minority in Idaho. Unfortunately I do not think she has much of a chance running against one of DC's most seasoned politicians in Rep. Simpson, but I wish her the best. If she was running the the 1st District I would definitely vote for her!

Van Pierszalowski, the songwriter and primary ringleader of SF's WATERS, has always seemed like a guy on the brink of wide(r)spread stardom. The band's music is an ear-pleasing mix of guitar-driven rock riffs and power pop hooks the size of Buicks; it's radio-ready without feeling squeaky-clean, in no small part thanks to Pierszalowski's plaintive vocals.
This may be the year it happens for WATERS. The band announced yesterday that it signed to the LA-based Vagrant Records, which will release its forthcoming EP, It All Might Be OK, on Oct. 14. Read more »
You know that feeling where, if you see one more headline about how all the artists and musicians have fled San Francisco and the city's dead and we should all just throw in the towel and pack the car for LA right now, you might throw your computer through a window?
Yeah, same here. Luckily, we also have the antidote: an email inbox that fills up every day with new music from an insane number of Bay Area bands and artists, many of whom would probably be offended if you were to suggest that they do not, in fact, exist.Read more »
Y'all ever have that thing where a week or two will go by without a show you're particularly stoked on, and then all of a sudden there's one weekend where you want to go to everything? But you can't, because you're human, and science is too busy ensuring you'll have nightmares of outstanding proportions tonight to get on that teleportation thing, so you have to make all these god-awful decisions?Read more »
Between POW!'s "Hi-Tech Boom," the schticky "Google Bus Song" from Cachebox, and Violent Vickie's "Fuck You!!!!!", it's safe to say San Francisco musicians — the ones that are left here, haha! sorry — are currently leading the nation in anti-gentrification music.
This is a good thing, of course. It means the city still has a pulse. You know what we've been sorely lacking, however? As Emma Goldman basically said, give the people a summery, socially conscious anthem we can fucking dance to. Read more »
With all the tears shed and (Internet) ink spilled bemoaning the death of the Mission District at the hands of the tech bubble, it's easy to forget lately that there actually are still artists here. There are people who give a shit about community here — even people who've dedicated their lives to building it.Read more »
Papercuts, the indie-folk output of San Francisco songwriter-producer Jason Quever, has been a San Francisco staple for a decade now. By turns stark and raw and layered, lush and atmospheric, Papercuts' newest album, Life Among the Savages is full of excellent songs for a long, moody solo drive.Read more »
Eclectic local eight-piece DRMS (formerly Dreams) today released a haunting video for "With You" off the band's self-titled debut LP. The album release party takes place Sat/28 at Rickshaw Stop. Read more »
Blatant disregard for traffic safety be damned (really, the bike-riding sparklers past the Castro Theatre shot is magick), the new Double Duchess video for "Bucket Betch" looks like something I'd show to my friends who don't live in San Francisco to make them jealous. See, New Orleans and Brooklyn aren't the only place with queer hip-hop anthems right now. See, it is possible to dance in those shoes. See 2:55 for an expert glitter vogue move. Read more »
In this week's issue, we talk to Bay favorite musician Meklit Hadero about her latest project, Copperwire -- a hip-hop space opera coming to the Rickshaw Stop on Sat/5. Hadero is joined in the project by two Ethiopian-American emcees, Gabriel Teodros and Burntface. Go more indepth (and outerspace) with Hadero about the project below. Read more »
Normally, when the white-hot energy that first surrounds a music project fades, there is drama to be had. Obviously. You're sneaking around on the group with that guitarist? Do you really think your lyrics will hit the same notes with that other emcee? Maybe it's because Bayonics have been around the block, but apparently this local funk-hip-hop-soul-R&B mega-group has few jealousy issues: the collective will be showcasing its members' next steps tonight (Wed/29) at "Leapstock 2012" a showcase taking over the top floor of Elbo Room.

questions about couchbase.
I'm using couchbase server 2.0 preview and confused about some questions.
1. Does the key with expired time be persisted to disk?
I set a key 'key1' expired in 30 seconds and restart the couchbase server before 'key1' expired.
When server started, 'key1' can be retrived, and never expired anymore. However I expected couchbase
should not only save the value but also the expired info.
2. Should we create another memcached type bucket just for the keys with expired time?
To avoid these keys persisting forever as above.
3. I confused about how couchbase works for hot and cold data?
Our previous project use mysql as a storage. So we first get data from memcache, when missed,then mysql.
4. When bucket RAM quota runs out, should the old data be swapped from RAM to disk?
Does couchbase hold all data in memory just like redis?
Should anyone give me some suggestions using couchbase in practise, Thanks a lot.
Ya, issue3 and 4 can get the answer here: http://www.couchbase.org/wiki/display/membase/Growing+Data+Sets+Beyond+M...
Hi ismtlee,
Thanks for your report. 1/2 seem like a bug, I raised an issue here: http://couchbase.org/issues/browse/MB-4362
Thanks, jan.
Issue 1 has been resolved. I just tested on cb server version 1.8.0 & php client with version 1.1.0-dp1.

SPOKANE -- The Spokane Shock aren't throwing away this week's season finale against the Jacksonville Sharks.
There's plenty of reason for both team's to blow this battle off. The squads are both heading to the playoffs, and there's no room to improve their seed.
But, when the football is kicked off at 5pm in Jacksonville on Friday, the Shock are going to give their best effort. That's what this week's starting quarterback Kyle Rowley hopes at least.
"For me and the other players, it's full-tilt, straight ahead," Rowley said at practice this week. "We don't want to get in the habit of playing any other way."
Spokane is 9-8 on the year, winners in five of their last six games. You can watch live on the NFL Network as they try to make it a ten win season.
The Shock face Arizona in the first round of the playoffs next Friday (July 29th) at 7pm in Phoenix.

Watch Dr. Freeze describe his research
Dr. Freeze's research focuses on the pathology resulting from faulty glycosylation, the process of adding carbohydrate (sugar) chains to proteins and lipids. Carbohydrates are required for proper secretion and targeting of thousands of proteins – an often overlooked fact of biology. He is driven by the search for novel therapeutics to treat patients with mutations leading to glycosylation defects called Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG).
Dr. Freeze earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego in 1976. Subsequently he held fellowships in Biology, Medicine and Neurosciences later joined the faculty at the same institution. In 1988 Dr. Freeze was recruited to Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.

The title of this entry is a song by Guided By Voices that I'd never heard and began to play on Spotify at the very moment that I began this first entry. I empathize with it's sentiment, it's knee-jerk puerile reaction to unrequited or irresponsibly modulated acceptance of heartbreak.
Heartbreak moves the world. Not love. Love was the mistake. Romantic love is a moment, not institution, it is an instant sacrosanct memory. A holy divestment between two or a few people. It is a game that we take too seriously. A warning from our higher consciousness.
"Aren't we all just hamsters on a wheel anyway?"
The moment she said that, I fell madly in love. She was beyond all this…effluence. All these distractions. Still susceptible to cats, and ultra quirky, super witty cute little Indie films, but even so: I didn't think it would happen again. You want to know what I thought would happen?
I thought I'd wrangle someone either far above or far below me into loving me. Either a patroness or a pet. I didn't think I'd have to endure a drama again. She proved how stupid I am.
"I only lie by omission."
Let me go back to that moment, please, and feel a twinge of paranoia. Let me get giddy at the prospect of playing at sparring with another persons psyche in delicate, premeditated, methodical ways, instead of the sledgehammer.
My friend Murph says our emotions are tools. We all have a toolbox. In mine, I have determined, are a sledgehammer, a jackhammer, and a microscope.
I usually wield the sledgehammer. Sometimes I wield the jackhammer. I always have the microscope handy, but that "I" is really some strange maladjusted, dystrophied ego monkey, who keeps it all hid.
So the sledgehammer says to her, "You are my everything."
The moment I said it, I regretted it. I hadn't learned a thing.
Moments we'll have. I'm finally confident that I can do this thing I espouse. I've only been in love three times. Five times, if you count the one that didn't exchange a word with me beyond her cashier duties, and the one that in her cashier duties was technically illegal.
Where are they now? Bound inextricably to moments we spent together. Moving away, then, back around, then out away.

Have booked ceremony & receptions sites, music for both, cake, photographer, and food. I am picking up my dress tomorrow, and I hope it fits.
We need to work on Save the Dates, Invitations, Rehersal Dinner, flowers/decor, rings, wp attire, and honeymoon locations.
I guess the hardest thing for me was trying to establish a benchmark for the cost of everything. Is this the best price, or can I find cheaper? I also don't have a lot of decorating flair I guess? I'm pretty simple when it comes to color coordinations, but I think by keeping things simple & elegant I'll do well.
I also hadn't thought about hiring a DOC, but with my hectic life for the next six months, I decided that I needed to. I think I found one that's reasonable, and we see eye-to-eye on a lot of things. It's also nice to know that I'll have someone in charge the day of so we can enjoy the day.
How is everyone else doing-6 months from today??!!
My big project I need to work on is invites and BM dresses!! But I've got the majors covered....
oh my checklist is sooo long.. haha. found my dress its on order.. have the venue, photographer, photobooth, bridesmaids dresses, engagement pics dj, pastor, diy projects and a few others.. but i am a huge organizer so i think i have extras on my list..
thank goodness my venue comes with a DOC cause I'd be going crazy.
The item I'm having the most problems with at the moment is finding my mum a nice outfit for the day. She's 'vertically challenged' so nothing too long but she's also fresh and vibrant - so nothing too old! As far as planning goes, I've been engaged since June 2008 so I'm pretty far along. The only things left for me to do is pick up the invites and send them off, create seat savers and place settings and wait for the RSVPs to roll in!
Had my hair trail today! Super excited about the results! Take a look at my bio for results!
Ottergirl...I'm also having a hard time with my mom's outfit! She is very difficult to find outfits for because she doesn't take any risks and wears very modest/conservative clothes!
I just received my save-the-date magnets ans will be sending those off pretty soon. My invites are in, the dresses are ordered and on the way, most of the vendors are booked except for MUA/hair stylist and the big one is florist. I think I've just been putting off the florist for way too long, but I am going to see two this week.
Jcmunson - my florist was amazing! If you ever decide to get married in NZ I can reccomend her ;) . But seriously I would suggest going with an absolute figure in mind that you dont want to exceed. I had really firm ideas about what I wanted for flowers and a medium budget that I thought would cover it. I went to a few florists, named my price and what I wanted and just got 'No'. By the end of the day I was pretty shaken, some vendors suggested that I triple my budget for flowers! Finally I walked into my florists shop, we sat down, had some tea and talked about the venue, what I wanted and how much I had to spend. Instead of saying no, my florist tweaked a few things (re-using flowers from ceremony in reception, changing the type of flowers to more readily available ones) and *Shabangabang*! I have my flowers at my price!
Another peice of advice? Dont wear heels! Still hurting from that!

Danger and chaos are all around and he becomes a man trapped in his own world. Eventually Frank is left with no one to turn to and nowhere to go, becoming a man paralysed with the fear of knowing there is no way of preventing his inevitable fate.

30 ways to freshen every room for spring
Kitchen | Clean around & inside appliances
Dirt, pet hair, and dust particles can build up behind your refrigerator, says Steve Ash of partselect.com. Airborne materials can block the appliance's coils, restricting airflow through the appliance. It's worth it to pull out the refrigerator and vacuum the coils. Also, sanitize the dishwasher. Place a shallow dish of vinegar on the top rack of your dishwasher and run it (empty) on a long sanitation cycle to kill fungi.
Kitchen | De-smudge windows
A simple mixture of two parts water to one part white distilled vinegar is all you need for a streak-free finish on windows and glass surfaces. Wipe the inside of windows from side to side, and the outside of windows from top to bottom. This makes it easier to see which side (if any) needs further cleaning.
Kitchen | Dispose of old food
Go through the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for foods that are past their expiration dates or those items you know you'll never use. Throw them away. For unopened can and jar foods that are still good, donate them.
Kitchen | Create a natural air freshener
Give your room a fresh scent. Whip up a room deodorizer on the stovetop by simmering orange rinds or lemon slices and rosemary in a pot of water. The scent will freshen your space.
Kitchen | Take inventory of small appliances
Donate the novelty appliances you rarely or never use. Clean out the inside of your microwave. And turn your attention to your must-have appliance: the coffee maker. To clean your coffee maker, brew a pot using 2 parts distilled water and 1 part vinegar. Brew this mixture through 3 times, then follow up with 3 brews using distilled water.
Bathroom | Clear your counter
Organizer MaryJo Monroe of Respaced says those little bottles of lotions and potions are dust-catchers. "If you're not using them, give them away or throw them out. If you do use them, find a storage system to hold and organize them in your bath."
Bathroom | Neaten up the medicine cabinet
Throw away any medicines or health and beauty items with expired dates. Many personal care products deteriorate after six months.
Bathroom | Go through old linens
If your towels, rugs, and shower curtain are looking shabby or worn, it might be time to donate them and replenish your supply with fresh ones. Organizer Michelle Paxton of The Organizer Gal says it's smart to invest in products such as containers, racks, shelves, or drawers for extra storage in a small bath.
Bathroom | Scrub tile grout
Clean grout is like a facelift for your bathroom. To remove mold and mildew, home care expert Cheryl Mendelson, author of Home Comforts: The Art & Science of Keeping House, recommends scrubbing grout with a toothbrush and a simple solution of 1/2 cup chlorine bleach diluted in a gallon of water. Test on an inconspicuous section of grout and tile first.
If deep cleaning your tiled surfaces doesn't go far enough, try regrouting the surfaces.
Bathroom | Create natural scents
Soak a cotton ball with essential oils and toss it under the bathroom sink (out of reach from pets) for a clean, fresh smell. Try lavender, jasmine, or any fragrance you like. The cotton will stay fragrant for about two weeks.

People have different ways of approaching reality. Some are analytical, reasoned, logical, etc. That's not me. Not that I can't be analytical, reasoned and logical. But those are deliberate disciplines that I practice; in contrast to my instinctive way of approaching the world which is through my feelings. I'm just a feeling kind of person.
Maybe too much sometimes. When people talk about having certain spiritual gifts I always say I have the spiritual gift of weeping – I cry at weddings and baptisms and movies. I can't sing Charles Wesley's And Can It Be without getting choked up. There's just something about the words, "Amazing love! How can it be, that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" I'm not a very good singer, but I love to belt those words out. And then toward the end of the song when it says, "My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee." I usually have to keep myself from jumping up and down during that verse.
Jumping up and down to Charles Wesley – go figure.
Not surprisingly, I resonate with Scriptures like Paul's word in Romans 8 that God's Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children; and with John Wesley's experience of having his heart "strangely warmed." That kind of gut oriented experience of the faith is foundational for me.
So one of the most disorienting moments of my ministry happened when I was approached by a young woman toward the end of a weekend of preaching who earnestly asked how she could really know that God loved her if she couldn't feel it.
This was a Cornerstone Celebration weekend so she had heard me preach three times already and had been involved in my three-hour teaching session on sharing our faith. Now it was about 5 minutes before the last service was to start and she was desperate to know if what I'd been talking about all weekend long was really true.
Was it really true that God loved her enough to become human in Jesus; was it really true that God's love for her was radical enough to involve passionate sacrifice. She was sure it was true for everyone else since they could feel it; but it couldn't possibly be true for her because she couldn't.
You've probably already guessed that I was getting all misty as my mind raced, searching for some way to respond. She continued that it wasn't just about feeling God's love. She couldn't feel anything. Things had happened in her past and she had dealt with them by repressing, pushing down and blocking out any and all feeling within her. I have no feelings, she said and as I looked into her eyes, I believed her.
How is it that we come to know God's love? Is it only when we feel God's Spirit "bearing witness" with our spirit? Is it only when our hearts are "strangely warmed?" Is there more to it than that? If we're not a "feeling kind of person," does God not work in us and through us anyway?
I was really struggling as the woman patiently waited for my response. My heart was breaking and I was petrified that somehow I would compound her pain. That in my bumbling I would somehow contribute to her certainty that God couldn't possibly love her since she wasn't able to feel it.
Way back in the mid-400′s Patrick began preaching in Ireland. He traveled from settlement to settlement, staying with the people, loving them and working among them. Through his ministry, monastic communities sprang up. These communities were different from what we normally think of when we think of monastic communities where monks separated themselves from the rest of society for a life of solitude and prayer. These were communities of committed Christ followers who lived and worked together, sharing resources, love and life together. There were men and women, adults and kids; some were single, some were married, some had families – some were priests but most weren't, and they were all together in community.
One of the things that made these communities so cool was the way they treated outsiders. There was always a gatekeeper – not to keep anybody out – but to be on duty all the time so that anyone who wanted to come in could come in – no matter what time of the day or night it was. If you visited the community the gate keeper would welcome you first and then call everyone to come greet you. The abbot or abbess (head of the community) would immediately come out to make sure you felt at home. It wouldn't matter what people were doing, they would stop because making guests feel welcome was more important than anything else. Then they'd show you to the guest house – the best accommodations in the whole place. When it was time to eat, you'd eat at the head table with the abbot/abbess. It would be clear that you could stay as long as you wanted, but you were also free to leave at any time. You could eat with the community, work with the community, worship with the community – always welcome to share in everything about the community. If you stayed for a while they'd assign you a 'soul friend' to talk to – no agenda – just about whatever was on your mind. Eventually, if you continued to stay they'd talk to you about God's love and offer you the opportunity to become more than a guest.
It was a slow process of revealing God's love; a process that started with the concept of belonging and acceptance and moved only gradually toward commitment. It was a process that took time because it was about providing evidence of God's love. Not evidence in the form of skilled argument or tight logic; not even the evidence of any specific feeling even though that was probably part of it for most people. It was the evidence of action – consistent actions of love, continued day in and day out – actions that made God's love visible and tangible and real through the welcoming, caring, support and nurture of people. Evidence through action that people have value simply because they are.
The minutes were passing faster than I wanted them to. I could tell the worship leaders were ready to get started but couldn't since the woman and I were standing front and center in the sanctuary. I asked her why she came to this particular church. She said that the people were kind to her and took her in when she returned to town after a long absence. In the few years since she'd been back, they'd consistently helped her and her children. Over and over they had been there for her even in really difficult times. It was kind of like they had made space – just for her.
That's how you know.

Meat Shredders from Williams-Sonoma
Faith's Daily Find 07.05.13
Meat Shredders from Williams-Sonoma
• $11.96
• Williams-Sonoma
Sure, you can shred meat with two dinner forks, but it's more fun (and faster) to paw around with these bear claws. I like to cook big hunks of brisket and pork in the slow cooker and then shred them for adding to meals later.
4 Comments
I discovered that putting the meat into my mixer with the regular beater is a fast and easy way to shred meat. Texture is perfect. (Pinterest tip that works.)
Yep, I use my food processor too. But I'm kind of a lazy chef soooo.... I'm sure it's fun to tear it up with these guys, though.
I use two forks.
Interesting idea using the mixer paddle, I think I would use that more than the forks.

For an elderly political junkie who needs money on the side, its the perfect job with an exotic-sounding name: Boletero
It literally means balloteer, but the post carries the Spanish nickname in deference to the dozens if not scores of paid small-time operatives who find ways to turn out or collect absentee mail-in votes in Miami-Dade.
Its a shady world, as the case of 56-year-old Deisy Cabrera in Hialeah shows.
Cabrera was charged Wednesday with a state felony for allegedly forging an elderly womans signature on an absentee ballot, and with two counts of violating a Miami-Dade County ordinance banning the possession of more than two filled-out absentee ballots.
The boleteros hover on the edge of the letter and spirit of the law, said Christian Ulvert, a top state Democratic campaign consultant who has run races in Little Havana and Miami Beach.
These boleteros in Miami Dade have become like some political consultants, Ulvert added. You dont want them working for you. But you dont want them working against you. So some candidates figure you just have to pay them.
Its a cottage industry in a county where nearly 50,000 people have already returned their mail-in ballots, out of 150,000 requests. All that for an Aug. 14 primary that consists of relatively small races and the contest for Miami-Dade mayor.
The exact number of boleteros is unclear. Consultants estimate there are as many as 100 in the county.
Many act as free agents for multiple campaigns, earning as much as $5,000 for about a months worth of work, consultants say. An individual campaign can pay as much as $1,000.
Cabrera offered her services to some campaigns that included hiring teams of volunteers and phone-banking services at a cost of $3,000.
Often, boleteros are elderly and have years of experience working as campaign volunteers and block-walkers. Over time, they develop relationships with senior citizens and voters in their communities, assisted-living facilities and apartment complexes.
Top boleteros who tend to be Republican have access to about 200 voters and as few as 30.
The more voters they say they represent, the more money they can earn from each campaign they work for especially this year, when the Aug. 14 ballot in cities like Hialeah has as many as two-dozen candidates and questions. Boleteros can theoretically cash in on every race.
One absentee ballot can be worth hundreds of dollars depending on how many campaigns a boletero is working for. So the bigger the ballot, the bigger the payday.Ballot brokers exist virtually everywhere, but are prevalent in Miami-Dade, Floridas biggest county, which is dominated by a Cuban-American community obsessed with politics. The political culture and big money that campaigns command have created a thriving industry of consultants, ad men and boleteros. And nowhere are boleteros as common as in the most-Cuban of Floridas cities, Hialeah.
Big mayoral and congressional campaigns dont need their services because the candidates are well-known and have television and radio advertising budgets that can easily reach $1 million.
But down-ballot campaigns, such as judicial and city council races where candidates are relatively unknown, dont have the money to advertise. They need people on the street.
When it comes to the judges, its a beauty contest, said David Custin, a consultant and Hialeah native who has worked for Republican and Democratic candidates.
When it comes to a district or a race where its a jump ball, thats where the boleteros come into play, Custin said. You could have local bartering. The boletero says: Be with me, Ill put in a good word with the mayor or the councilman.
Like Ulvert and other consultants who spoke with The Miami Herald, Custin said he doesnt use boleteros.
Boleteros are part of a patronage system or a shortcut or they get hired by campaigns who dont know how to do it, Custin said. You dont have to have them. People do it because theyre there.
Florida House Republican leader Carlos Lopez Cantera, whos running for county property appraiser, said Cabrera offered her services but he declined. He said he feels uncomfortable with ballot brokers.
People would not solicit these services if people stopped paying for them, he said.
Former Rep. J.C. Planas, who worked for John McCains presidential campaign in 2008, said boleteros are a dying breed and not worth the money.
Most of these people are snake-oil salesmen selling a campaign a bill of goods, he said. Its a fraud.
Boleteros seldom show up on campaign-finance reports, and instead operate like off-the-books subcontractors who are paid by campaign consultants in cash to get out the vote.
In some cases, a subcontractor for a campaign consultant can hire a boletero, who is therefore kept three transactions away from the campaign.
No one has admitted to employing Cabrera.
A private eye, hired by an unknown client, followed her into a building that houses the Hialeah campaign office of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, who has denied hiring Cabrera. She has been charged for possessing 31 voted absentee ballots over two days.
A top Gimenez consultant, lobbyist Al Lorenzo, signed an affidavit saying he didnt hire her. Lorenzo also works for State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle, whos facing a tough reelection, and has recused herself from the investigation of Cabrera.
Boleteros dont work alone. Theyre usually used in coordination with sophisticated absentee ballot-turnout operations.
First, campaigns target likely voters identified through database searches of the states voter file. Theyll call the voters and ask for their support and whether theyd like to vote early by absentee ballot.
The campaign will then send an absentee-ballot request form. Once a voters request is processed in the state system, it can be like blood in the water that alerts the shark-like senses of aggressive campaigns. They start calling and mailing voters.
Campaigns time when absentee ballots arrive at someones house.
At that point, they dispatch boleteros to make face-to-face contact with known voters to persuade them to fill out the ballot.
Cira and Jose J. Machado, Hialeah residents for 23 years, are typical of the voters that boleteros target. Both are elderly and have health problems.
Jose Machado, suffering from Parkinsons and a bruised hand, met Cabrera at a Sedanos grocery store.
She said she would take the ballots to the mail. I gave her my address, he said.
The couple said they filled out and voted their own ballots without Cabreras help.
Boleteros arent supposed to collect ballots, but sometimes voters request that they mail it for them or keep it in their possession.
Before absentee-ballot fraud marred Miamis 1997 mayoral race, boleteros would collect boxes worth of absentee ballots that theyd drop off at the elections office. That ended with legislative reforms in 1998 that, among other things, limited third parties from possessing absentee ballots.
These days, boletera is a slur to consultants like Sasha Tirador, who was labeled the absentee-ballot queen by former Hialeah mayor and ex-congressional candidate Raul Martinez.
He knows a phrase like that would hurt a consultant, she said, If you are labeled as a boletera, it would hurt your business.
Miami Herald staff writers Daniel Chang and Christina Veiga contributed to this report.

"Peace on earth! Good will towards men!" is a common greeting to be found on cards during this season of the Nativity. These are, of course, the words sung by the angels the night Christ was born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:14). It is also a phrase which admits of several interpretations.
The possibility of various meanings is very likely the reason for its popularity on greeting cards. Who could be opposed to peace on earth and good will towards men (especially if the "men" is translated in a more "gender-friendly" way)? The difficulty with Christmas, for many, is that it introduces what is characteristically known as the "scandal of particularity." The scandal, or "stumbling-block," is the specific claim made by Christians that the child born in Bethlehem is the incarnate Son of God, the One through whom salvation alone may be found. Everyone likes peace. Most people like Jesus. Not everyone likes Christ, the Son of the Eternal God, the God made flesh.
And so the feast of Christmas becomes the great Gnostic Temptation for modern culture. Modernity wants to admit that Jesus was an important figure in history but does not want to grant that He is the Lord of history. Modernity wants to advance the cause of peace but does not want to admit that Christ alone is the Prince of Peace.
The Christian faith rightly and properly rejects gnosticism as a heresy. It is not peace and good will nor even love that Christianity properly confesses. These words, when stated without a context, have no meaning whatsoever. They become symbols of the banal and empty quality of modern life. Peace as the absence of conflict has no positive content. Good will without a reference becomes nothing more than a smile. Love without the brutal sacrifice of self-emptying is nothing more than sentiment.
Sentimentality is the content of modern idolatry. We worship feelings and those things which produce the feelings we worship. It is for this reason that entertainment and its purveyors are the "icons" of the modern world. Those whom the world holds in esteem are pictures without content – feelings without reason. And so the indiscretions of our icons (whether golf legends or the idols of our matinees) face the unrelenting judgment of the media whenever they stray from the pre-defined content of their image. Our sentiments must not be offended.
Sentimentality requires generality. Those things which we perceive in a "general" manner, lack content. Things in general have no specificity nor particularity. Their general character allows us to project our own wishes and dreams upon them without contradiction. Modernity prefers a general God for the same reason. A general God has little or nt content – little or nothing than can offer contradiction or offense to the culture god of sentimentality.
The incarnate Son of God is full of contradiction and offense. The claim to be the Incarnation of the only true God stands as a stumbling-block for the demands of sentimentality. Peace on earth and good-will towards men receive a very specific content in the incarnation of Christ. The angels sing because Christ is born. Without His birth, there is no peace nor good-will. His birth proclaims the beginnings of God's peace on earth, the in-breaking of the Kingdom of God. His birth proclaims good-will – God's good will towards men (the only good-will that matters).
The contradictions inherent between Christ the God-Man and the empty sentiments of peace on earth, good will towards men, form the content of modern culture wars between "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays." A Christmas which does not offend is not a Christmas that can save. My sin is offended by the love of God. Without such offense there can never be repentance. My sin is an offense against Christmas itself – though the true Christmas has taken my offense into itself and forgiven me everything: a forgiveness that can only have meaning if the child of Bethlehem is none other than God.
Better than "Merry Christmas" is the traditional Orthodox greeting: Christ is born! Glorify Him!

This is perfectly understandable because of the level of interaction in the modern world, among other things; religious doctrines are perceived as weak since they "evidently" contradict between them and with each other.
This, in many ways, is a good hint for believers too; because it precisely points out to the fact that the realities doctrines contain are of a transcendental, and not of a literal, nature.
In many ways the "conclusions" that modernity has reached via the "enlightment" are due to the direction western spirituality took after the 15th century. What is today perceived as a "western worldview" began as a divorce of Christianity from the transcendental and embrace by the same of the literal. This has already culminated with the various atheistic worldviews that want everyone to be his own god.
Such worldviews may indeed have problems comprehending what is hinted by the words "Christ, Son of God", and this is not surprising.

Christ is born! Glorify Him!
Father, bless!
I used an idea of yours in my blog– I mentioned your name and provided a link to your blog site.
If you are not okay with his, please let me know.
My blog is: http://boehadden.wordpress.com/
Thank you!
Glorify HIM indeed!
To a silent tongue and a contemplative mind You draw near, O All-Holy Spirit, bridegroom of my soul. You avoid a talkative tongue as a swan avoids a stormy lake. Like a swan you swim across the quiet of my heart and make it fruitful.
Desist from your wordly wisdom, my neighbors. Wisdom is begotten, not made. As Wisdom is begotten in God, so is it begotten on earth. Begotten wisdom creates, but is not created.
So, you braggarts brag about your intellect! What is your intellect except remembering many facts? And if you remember so much, how could you have forgotten the moments of the wondrous begetting of wisdom within you? Sometimes I hear you talking about great thoughts that were born to you unexpectedly without any effort. Who bore these thoughts to you, intellectuals? How were they begotten without a father, if you admit that you did not father them?
Truly I say to you: the father of these thoughts is the All-Holy Spirit, and their mother survives as the virgin corner of your soul, where the All-Holy Spirit still dares to enter.
Thus every wisdom in heaven and on earth is begotten of the Virgin and the All-Holy Spirit. The All-Holy Spirit hovered over the chastity of the first hypostasis, and the Ultimate Man, the Wisdom of God, was begotten.
What the chastity of the Father is in heaven, the virginity of the Mother is on earth. What the action of the Holy Spirit is in heaven, His action is on earth. What the begetting of wisdom is in heaven, the begetting of wisdom is on earth.
O my soul, my eternal surprise! What happened once in heaven and once on earth must happen to you. You must become a virgin, so that you can conceive the Wisdom of God. You must be a virgin, so that the Spirit of God may fall in love with you. All the miracles in heaven and on earth originate from the Virgin and the Spirit.
A virgin gives birth to creative wisdom. A wanton woman creates barren knowledge. Only a Virgin can see truth, while a wanton woman can only recognize things.
O triune Lord, cleanse the vision of my soul, and bow down Your face over her, so that my soul may glisten with the glory of her Lord, so that the wondrous history of heaven and earth may be unsealed in her, so that she may be filled with glittering like my lake, when the sun hovers above it at noon.
St. Nikolai of Zhicha – Prayers by the Lake, X
I am standing in awe in front of this description – that there is difference between knowledge that is created, and wisdom that is begotten. Wisdom that is begotten in purity of the heart is alone capable to lead all nations to true brotherhood. If there is no purity in the heart, how could possibly one truly love his enemies? Only in very rare moments when I feel purity in my heart I can honestly love my enemies, because only then I have genuine hope that their hearts might become pure too one day, and that would be a practical solution worth of infinite patience and forgiveness.
There is a good reason why even the slightest impurity leads to sentimentality. Because sentimentality is created, not begotten. And sentimentality is like a beautiful painting that cannot see the painter. But, son of the painter can see his father.
Only when heart shines in purity like a sun (is not sun an icon which reminds us of lofty ideal of selflessness?), only then I can sincerely understand that "He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous" (St. Matthew 5:45). But how I would wish that I remember that wisdom always, and not only in those rare moments!
Holy Mother of God pray for us all that our hearts may become pure.
Thanks! May Christ be with you in this holy season!

I personally very much doubt that this line of thought is itself practical.
With all due respect it sounds more like wishful thinking rather than anything else.
Neither i believe that the "peace" that Christ will bestow on nations amounts to a theocentric political solution or something of that sort.
It seems to me that the peace of Christ can take place even in the midst of actual war, as his love took place in the midst of very real hate.
Wishing for an eventual world inhabited exclusively by cozy and nice saintly people would ridicule good and God himself, since He made the world the way it is.
Best Regards
I definitely lamented winter weather canceling services near me because I wanted to join in the festal shout with others who share the joy of anticipating the season. CHRIST IS BORN!!!!
Glorify Him in word and deed.
I deeply agree that any kind of expectation in love is wishful thinking. May I find enough sincerity that whenever I love, I do it without any expectations from the people I love, be them friends or enemies. Love with expectations is no love at all.
Thank you for pointing out that error which I missed to see.
I am trying to understand the message of St. Silouan on love for enemies. It seems practically difficult but feels inherently beautiful.
Sentimentality is also the cloak for all kinds of venality from simple greed to tyrannical lust for power and hedonism.
thank you for your words, posts and links, may God be with you.
Best Regards
Please forgive me for posting a comment highly irrelevant to your post but I felt I had to share this; The National Geographic magazine featured an article about the Holy Mountain on its latest issue (Dec 09) and I found a picture on NGM website, that, well, made me feel a bit jealous, in the good sense:
It's so inspiring, even more so knowing that there are still people out there who strengthen the Church by leaving the world behind in order to approach the Lord when I am so weak myself to do the same.
Btw, I am referring to the second from the end picture in the set I just posted…
It's a wonderful article with great pictures. It at least inspires a visit someday.
I love the fourth from the end picture. My husband wants to take our son(s) some day ………….
Fr. Stephen,
I enjoyed this post. I think, though, that although you are certainly on to something, here, with the "sentimentality" aspect, there is a commercialism that has been wedded to it. In addition, there is the third leg of the stool, the secular (maybe simply anti-Christian) component as well. You know, the non-Christian who celebrates "Christmas" anyhow, complete with the guy in the red suit and little elves. It is all wrapped together. Your insights are appreciated.
Blessed Feast to everyone!
Sean, I enjoyed that "National Geographic" article (my dad subscribed us).
Dejan said:
"Only in very rare moments when I feel purity in my heart I can honestly love my enemies, because only then I have genuine hope that their hearts might become pure too one day, and that would be a practical solution worth of infinite patience and forgiveness."
His thoughts really resonate with me. My experience and hope is similar, but the "practical solution" he alludes to here is definitely something that transcends the world as we now know it and enters the Mystery of the Resurrection and Eternity itself–or so it seems to me. As Yannis rightly points out (if I am understanding his comment correctly), any purely human utopian dream is not in keeping with an Orthodox perspective, but I also didn't understand Dejan's post in that way. Rather his thoughts seemed to me to describe the hope I experience when we sing of "forgiving all by the Resurrection" at Pascha.
Father, bless!
Karen, Dejan, et al,
I think the love of enemy must be based within the love of enemy and not in the hope that they might change. "God is kind to the unthankful and the evil" (Luke 6:35). He is not kind because of what they might do or become. He is kind because He is kind. This is, of course, only a gift of grace and only possible by the gift of God. But it is this that which must long for and pray for. It is this that is an inherent part of "being conformed of the image of His beloved Son." Christ says these things in Luke with the admonition that we should "be like God."
Dear Father, a very true and sobering point! I do still find that the joy the hope of the Resurrection gives is what provides strength for present obedience, just as Jesus "endured the Cross for the joy set before Him, despising the shame . . ." as Hebrews 12 says. Of course, that doesn't mean that I love my enemy because I believe he may change. Rather it means that such selfless love is itself already a participation in Christ's Resurrection, which participation is our joy.
Karen. Yes, I agree completely.

SMEs working in tourist niche markets should better participate in the digital value chain. Therefore the European Commission proposed today to establish an ICT and tourism platform.
At a dedicated meeting which took place in Brussels today, European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani underlined how important it is in the current economic crisis to support the tourism industry.
It is one of the few sectors which resists well in times of crisis and still has lot of potential for economic growth and employment in Europe. It is expected that in the coming decades tourism demand will shift from mass tourism to more tailor-made customised tourism for the individual traveller, which is a market segment particularly relevant for the EU SMEs in the tourism sector.
In order to make this niche market global the Commission participants of today's meeting discussed the setting up of an ICT and tourism platform to facilitate SMEs' participation in the digital value chain.
This platform will contain 3 pillars:

Please understand that i do not intentionaly feed my bunny anything that could be harmful when reading this.
Over the past week or so sage has grown so much, and has also become quite daring. I live in an apartment with teenage boys and as you can imagine its hard to keep bunny proofed. The other day i walked into the living room and she was eating marijuana to my utter disbelief. She has also been caught in pringles cans, and even jumped into my rice bowl and started chowing down! Luckly i am a vegetarian, but im still worried. She doesnt seem as interested in her pellets or hay and wants to eat my food! She even peed on me when i didnt share my icecream. Does anybody have any advice on this behavior? And particularly will eating marijuana hurt her? /:

MYALANSKY [America's Most Wanted (Interview)]
Interview Date:
30th September 2012
Published Date:
04th December 2012
Conducted By:
Dark 7 Invader
Special thanks to Myalansky
Last year we
interviewed Myalansky (Wu-Syndicate) when he dropped his first
AMW mixtape. Myalansky who was just released from prison, had
wasted no time and had, besides the mixtape, started working on
his solo album immediately. In the meantime he has released a
second volume of AMW and now completed the AMW trilogy with the
third volume which is now also available in physical copies.
Wu-International sat down again with Mya to see how the work on
his solo album was going and the possible Wu-Syndicate album
which had been mentioned on our last interview. While at it we
had a look at the album that put Myalanski, Joe Maffia and
Napoleon on the Wu map back in 1999: "Wu-Syndicate", as we ran
down the classic album track by track to serve all Wu-Syndicate
fans an interesting piece of history. Enjoy!
I like to say thanks first and foremost for
taking the time to answer these questions, highly
appreciated, and will also point out that nothing will be
altered, edited or changed when this is published online.
Wu-International: Peace Mya, how are you?
Myalansky: Peace guys, I'm good cant complain who would listen?
Wu-International: You wanted to release the third instalment of your AMW mixtape series specifically on thanksgiving day. Any special reason for this choice of date?
Myalansky: Not really just had to follow up and complete the final chapter of amw.com so thanksgiving was just a good time to strike....
Wu-International: It seems this time you will also have physical copies available for fans who want to add this to their collection? Where can they order it?
Myalansky: It can be ordered but if you in the street you gonna have a physical copy...my street team in order...but if they dont get it catch the free download link or email me ya info..firstname.lastname@example.com
Wu-International: Have you worded with Joe Mafia and Ocho again on volume 3?
Myalansky: No doubt those my comrads ya dig? they family aint nothin changed wit that situation...
Wu-International: Any other features besides joe and ocho?
Myalansky: Mitchy Slick
Wu-International: it seems you have added another diss track towards Pusha T?
Myalansky: He know what time it is....……
Wu-International: You are also doing a video for the track with some exclusive footage, can you please tell us more about this?
Myalansky: The footage im not gonna lie it seems to be hard to get in my hands but im workin on it trust me imposter video coming soon....
Wu-International: To date there have not been any reply from pusha, what kind of reaction are you expecting with these songs you are putting out?
Myalansky: Next question.....
Wu-International: Your first diss was towards da clipse but lately it seems your main target is just on pusha, are you in good terms with Malice?
thanks for those answers? Are you using classic beats again for volume 3 or do we get new music on this third instalment?
Myalansky: Yea the tracks are all classic aswell as present except one track produced by Big Will Kopnflip records song #13 aint did enuff feat Mitchy Slick
Wu-International: you called this your final chapter of amw.com, will you still put out other mixtapes with new concepts and titles or is this also it for mixtapes?
Myalansky: Without a doubt their will be more mix cds infact the next chapter is devil's advocate vol 1.
Wu-International: Last year you were in talks with mook from wu-tang management for a new wu-syndicate album, how did that evolve?

Myalansky: Really solo projects has put that album on hold but we definitely going to srtike again!!!
Wu-International: Can you be more concrete this time about producers, features, concepts?
Myalansky: Underworld king is the 1st of a trilogy.....so there will be three volumes of this album..... The producers on the first album is big will kop n flip recodrs..... And Jon Vegaz tracksmith productions..... The concepts consist of the mobster mentality of myalansky bringing you inside the underworld remorselessly holding the bloody crown as king....
Wu-International: tell us more about your new label "wrongkind" and what about "syndicate entertainment'?
Myalansky: Unfortunately syndicate entertainment is no longer active. My new label is pietnam inc. But my new bizniz associate label is wrongkind records executive producer mitchy slick....we about to make shit happen 2013.....
Wu-International: You mentioned Mitchy Slick as part of it, we knew of ocho from the past as well, who is part of the new label?
Mitchy Slick is wrongkind records thats his movement on the west coast.. Im basicly a new arstist to the family.....
Wu-International: Last interview you mentioned taking up acting lessons, how was that experience for you ?
Myalansky: Its funny you ask because a few weeks after i enrolled I was shooting the video for tote gunz feat nlz on amw.com vol 2 and injured my anckle so I had to drop out.. The scene when I jump from the roof was real when i landid my anckle snap in the oppisite direction bone was pokeing out the side of my sneaker shit was brazy.......im still fucked up behind that shit....smmfh..
Wu-International: do you have any concrete film plans since those lessons?
Myalansky: Like i said that came to an end but im still interseted in that venture... 2013 lets see what myalansky do next?
Wu-International: A lot of fans consider the wu-syndicate album a classic album. It would be a great read for those fans if you could run down the album track by track in our resident viewpoints series. So just break down what you remember of the track, inspiration or who came up with the title, where it was recorded, who was involved, songs or guest features that didn't make it, rza's and the producers involved etc etc, would you be willing to do that now as a final thanksgiving present?
Myalansky: No problem.

Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:07:34 -0700
Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers SP Nick Tepesch (knee) will not work in the weekend series against the Cleveland Indians, so manager Ron Washington has shuffled his rotation. SP Jerome Williams will work Friday, Aug. 1, SP Miles Mikolas will go Saturday, Aug. 2, and SP Yu Darvish will work Sunday, Aug. 3. The team still does not feel Tepesch's injury warrants a stint on the 15-day disabled list.
Fantasy Tip: Despite the fact Tepesch does not sound destined for the DL, fantasy owners will want to steer clear of him until he is able to return and make a full start without any setbacks or restrictions.

SPOKANE-- Court documents revealed what was seized from the home of the man suspected of Kimberly Schmidt's murder
Daniel Arteaga, 40, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and is charged with 1st degree murder of his girlfriend of over six years and fellow diver.
Court documents say Daniel Arteaga drugged Kimberly Schmidt with Advil P.M. then shot her in the head.
Detectives pulled boxes and bags of evidence from Arteaga's Spokane Valley home.
Detectives found a copy of her obituary. Detectives say killers would take items like those as trophies.
Detectives also say Arteaga owed Schmidt a lot of money for diving trips.
Documents show Schmidt's mother "discovered that Daniel Arteaga would sell firearms on the internet." the money went to a PayPal account associated with a credit card in Kimberly's name.
Detectives pulled a long list of guns from Arteaga's home, as well as Schmidt's.
A friend of Arteaga's called him an "'end of the world" type guy who routinely stashed supplies in case something bad happened."
Detectives also pulled books about forensics from Arteaga's home.
He's currently being held at the Spokane County Jail on a $1 million bond.
