2013 is done and dusted and, with 2014 on the horizon, the ASP is looking to implement some change. Now full-time ASP Commissioner, Kieren Perrow is making a change looking forward.
In 2014, WCT and WQS rankings will be completely separate. This means whatever points a surfer earns in a WCT event–the fast-approaching Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast, for example–count exclusively for their WCT point total. The same goes for their campaign on the WQS–Prime and Star points won't count towards anything other than a surfer's World Qualifying Series rankings. This is part of the new ASP that will take effect at the beginning of 2014–a mere month and a half away when the Quiksilver Pro kicks off (March 1-10).
The change stems from what Perrow says the ASP has had in mind all along. "The tweaks and alterations that have been made to the technical aspects of the sport over the past several years have been done so with one guiding principle – create a fair and balanced platform for the world's best surfing to be rewarded," said the Commissioner in a recent ASP press release.
Looking forward, Perrow's change will affect the process of qualifying for the 2015 ASP WCT, the year after these changes take effect, but the ASP Top 34 structure will remain the same.
In 2015, the ASP Top 34 will be comprised of:
- Top 22 finishers on the 2014 ASP WCT rankings (best 9 of 11 WCT results)
- Top 10 finishers on the 2014 ASP QS rankings (best 5 of all WQS results)
- Two ASP Wildcards

Weekend Meditation: Some People Grow Things
Confession: I do not have a green thumb. I would like one but the truth is I'm lucky to keep a few house plants (barely) alive. I just don't have the instinct for it like I have the instinct for how to roast a chicken or bake a layer cake. Somehow, when I pick up a knife or a wooden spoon, I know what to do. Without hardly thinking, I understand that a particular recipe would taste better if the onions are browned a little instead of sweated. Or that fresh basil, finely chopped, would be an interesting garnish on a fresh peach tart.
Over the years I have come to accept my lack of gardening skills just as I've come to accept the fact that I'm tone deaf and can't seen to pick up a second language. Even better, I've come to appreciate these talents in my community of friends. In my mind, we're like a crazy quilt or maybe a masala, each one contributing what they can and creating something beyond any individual effort: a greater whole.
The Slow Food movement has suggested that we replace the word 'consumer' with 'co-producer' as a way to recognize and support a less passive relationship with our food and how it is produced. When we do this, a deep alliance is revealed and a more complex and ultimately rewarding relationship is formed. One in which our dependancy is acknowledged and growers and eaters take our places beside each other in the long, noble effort to put food on the table and carry on with the business of staying alive.
The lesson for me here is that we don't live in isolation or only with the things that we choose or are comfortable with. Life is much fiercer than any nest we try to build. We can fight against this, or we can roll up our sleeves and participate in it, and celebrate it and enjoy it.
So this post is in praise of gardeners and farmers on whose instinct and knowledge and tenacity my very life depends. Thank you for your steady, patient effort as you tend to growing the things that end up on my plate or fill my house with beauty and color and fragrance. Thank you for your backbreaking work, and your daily crapshoot with the weather, insects and a fickle marketplace.
This post is also dedicated in gratitude to my father who would have been 80 today: a passionate grower of peonies and tomatoes, and a dedicated bread baker, pickler and applesauce canner. Each day of my life reveals more of what you taught me.

I know it's off-topic, but I love that plate that you featured in the photograph. It's obviously vintage, but do you happen to know who made it, or how I could go about looking for one? Thanks!
I can't even keep houseplants alive, Dana; I'm right there with you on the gardening. I'm lucky--my partner may not know which end of a knife to pick up, but she can grow vegetables like nobody's business. And I'm thankful for it.
I love how talented my friends are, and how willing they are to share those talents. It's so amazing when you realize that a life shared is just so much easier to live.
Raising my hand as another brown-thumbed person. Which, I think, makes me appreciate my CSA even more.
The 'plate' is actually a round print mounted in a round frame. It's by a Milwaukee artist named Joanna Poehlmann and I believe she sent it out as a holiday card (?). The print is signed by her with the date 1966. She gave it to me about 15 years ago but I've lost track of her since.
I believe she just had a show at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Maybe they have her contact information.
Another brown-thumbed cook here, and from a family that has a green-thumb gene a mile wide. Grandparents could grow ANYTHING, one grandma had pots and pots of ever-blooming African violets and never knew "what the big deal is" about how hard it is to grow them. Well. I got the cooking gene, and the gene for picking up foreign languages, and these have served me so well I'm not going to miss the green thumb gene much. I plan to conduct my annual ritual of starting an herb garden on my windowsill anyway, but this year when it dies I'll be cheerful about chucking it in the trash. The "garden" is for my daughter. Hey, maybe the gene skipped a generation!
Those of us who do grow things appreciate those of you who have brown thumbs come zucchini season. :)
LOLOLOL! Thanks for that laugh-which really was out loud!
P.S. Dana, thank you, too. : )
Thanks, Dana!

We've got 100s of great baby toys, toddler toys and pre-school toys. But if you need help picking, scroll down for our handy baby and toddler present guide. It's got specially selected toys for each age group and top tips from the real experts - parents!
Buying toys for kids aged 0-6 months
Sam (mum of Lucy aged 5 months) says:
"Lucy's favourite baby toy is her squeaky giraffe. It makes a funny noise, it's easy for her to hold and she likes to chew on it which is great for teething.
"Lucy also loves her play gym. This toy is good for her development because it's really engaging and stimulating. It has different textures, plays music and there are things she can rattle. I buy toys that are good value for money because Lucy grows out of things so quickly that I'm constantly replacing them to meet her needs."
Children aged 0 - 6 months will often:
- Reach out for objects - they can usually hold things at about five months
- Enjoy making new and different sounds
- Start to lift their heads to see the world around them
Top toys for babies aged 0-6 months:
Buying toys for kids aged 6-12 months
Olga (mum of Finn aged 10 months) says:
"I buy Finn baby toys that are fun, stimulating and educational – he loves anything that plays music. His favourite toy is a little piano because it plays tunes and lights up when the keys are pressed. It's perfect for his little fingers and is great for developing fine motor skills.
"I recently bought Finn Elefun Busy Ball Popper which keeps him entertained for hours. It's really colourful, interactive and helps develop hand-eye coordination skills."
Children aged 6 - 12 months will often:
- Develop better hand-eye coordination
- Sit without help, crawl and pull themselves upright
- Respond to your voice and their own name, and say words like momma and dada
Top toys for babies aged 6-12 months:
Buying toys for kids aged 12-18 months
Chanel (mum of Emerson aged 15 months) says:
"Emerson loves cars, trucks, diggers, vehicles - basically anything with wheels that he can push along. He's just started walking and particularly likes his ride-on which helps with his balance and stability.
"He also enjoys playing with building blocks which are great for developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. I usually buy toys that are durable because he's a typical boy and likes to throw things."
Children aged 12 - 18 months will often:
- Start to take an interest in words, say words and understand them better
- Build with bricks and express their creativity
- Feed themselves as their coordination improves
Top toys for toddlers aged 12-18 months:
Buying toys for kids aged 18-36 months
Kristine (mum of Jessica aged three) says:
"Jessica's favourite toy is her art easel because she loves drawing and colouring. It's great for developing fine motor skills and helps her to be creative. She gets a lot of use out of it so it was great value for money.
"Jessica also likes playing with dolls and dressing up in fancy dress outfits, both of which are good for encouraging imaginative role-play."
Children aged 18 - 36 months will often:
- Learn to kick or throw a ball
- Start to put words together and talk in short sentences
- Hold a crayon and use it properly
Top toys for toddlers aged 18-36 months:
Buying toys for kids aged 3-5 years
Laura-Ann (mum of Kara aged 3 1/2) says:
"The best toy I've ever brought Kara is a wooden kitchen. She loves pretending to cook like mummy, so it's great for imaginative role play and helps her learn about different types of food. Kara also loves whizzing around on her scooter which encourages her to get out and about.
"I like buying traditional wooden toys because they are good quality and can be passed down generations (I still have some of my mum's old toys). They aren't noisy either which is good for my own sanity!"
Children aged 3 - 5 years will often:
- Start to talk well in sentences and develop their communication skills
- Draw people as their creativity flourishes
- Start to use a knife and fork with increased coordination
Top toys for kids aged 3-5:

- Stack – The system is built to destroy our karma, tax and addict us – our goal is not to jopin/get a piece of a corrupt system but instead to transform it

Evelyn Waugh's literary contribution to modern culture is immense – memorable novels, insightful travel writing, perceptive journalism – but his greatest legacy is that he wrote stylish prose. He put down biting satire in Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies and A Handful of Dust, wrote elegantly about World War II in his Sword of Honour trilogy of novels and managed to single-handedly create nostalgia for the fading British nobility in Brideshead Revisited.
Like so many other authors who wrote on either side of World War II, Waugh (1903-1966) led a fascinating life. He started out as a school teacher but was bored and quickly turned to writing. His first wife was also called Evelyn. He converted to Catholicism in 1930. He travelled the globe extensively as a nomadic journalist during the 1930s. Waugh (full name Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh) fought, rather unsuccessfully, in World War II. Brideshead Revisited, written while recovering from a broken leg suffered in a parachute training accident, brought him fame and fortune. He had a mental breakdown in 1953 but his experiences still inspired a novel - The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold. Towards the end of his life, he suffered from ill health and a lack of funds.
His strong opinions ranged from the merits of Catholicism to the merits of the British class system. He wrote a fine book about wine – Wine in Peace and War – that is now highly collectable along with first editions, complete with dust jackets, of his novels.
A large number of books have been written about Waugh who continues to provoke discussion more than 40 years after his death. At War with Waugh by William Deedes, Evelyn Waugh A Biography by Selina Hastings and Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead are all worth a look. There are many varying opinions about Waugh himself, who seemed to polarize people, but the biographers all agree about the high quality of his writing.

Ericsson Telephone Company Stock Upgraded (ERIC)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 2.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 33.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Although ERIC's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.21 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.46, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 413.34% to $1,057.32 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, ERICSSON has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -16.86%.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

Great addon and great discussion about why it works so well (linked on curse website)
I was actually part of Eminent and the mod for this system works wonders especially the GUI version that was released half-way through T11. What the mod does is sets a max limit of what everyone can have, and you can spend on what you think the item is worth in a closed Auction (you don't see what others have bid). The winning price will be downgraded to the second-highest bid and will be divided by the rest of the raid evenly. If you are the only person who bids on the item, you get the item for free. The price will eventually go down.
The only problem with the mod is that the creator of the mod no longer is part of Eminent. Recently the guild partly disbanded and went from a 25-man guild to a 10 man guild, and the creator of the mod left when that happened (server transferred/faction-changed). So I'm not sure how much longer that mod will last.

After their mother escapes from Sydney to Margaret River in the 1970's, the two Kelly brothers spend their youth searching for the perfect wave. Out of necessity the family launches a backyard surf business - re-thinking board design, crafting homemade wetsuits and selling merchandise out of their van.
Battling big waves, small town conservatism and criminals, the brothers give rise to a global brand. A story of passion, corruption, friendship and loyalty, deadly addictions and fractured relationships, "Drift" tells a tale of courage and the will to survive at all odds.

- Filming Locations: Margaret River, Australia; Perth, Australia
- MPAA Warning: Language and drug content
- Production Budget: $12 million
- Production Companies: World-Wide-Mind Films
- Production Schedule: 1 August 2011 - November 2011
Featured Articles
2013 Guide Analysis: "Sam Worthington returned home in late 2011 for this $11 million surfing drama shot around the Margaret River region in Western Australia. The "Avatar" star plays a bohemian surf photographer and filmmaker who inspires the main characters. Think something akin to a less flashy version of Heath Ledger's "Lords of Dogtown" turn, albeit one with a whole lot more hair.
"Sea Patrol" actor Morgan O'Neill penned the script and co-directs the true story tale which follows Jimmy and Andy Kelly (Xavier Samuel, Myles Pollard), brothers who battled killer waves, conservative society and ruthless bikers to kick start an entire global industry and help create the laid-back surf attitude lifestyle that many live today.
Wrekin Hill and Hopscotch Films will distribute the film sometime early in 2013, a little later than expected as more than a few people were hoping to see it out around now. A recent trailer revealed a solid, if familiar looking comedic drama which mainly has the distinction of some stunning location photography, big surf action set pieces and various 1970s style quirks."

By now you've surely heard their song "Barbra Streisand" but do you really know who Duck Sauce are?
Duck Sauce is the name of the chart-busting collaboration between DJ's Armand Van Helden and A-Trak.
Van Helden is the legend behind songs like "My My My" and "You Don't Know Me", while A-Trak has done killer remixes of songs from artists like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Kanye West.
Together, they form Duck Sauce, and first released their track "aNYway" in September 2009. Later that month they released their EP 'Greatest Hits'.
Their latest track together, "Barbra Streisand", is a bizarre house tribute to the actress of the same name. In fact, the only lyric is the song is Streisand's name.
VIDEO: Listen to "Barbra Streisand" by Duck Sauce here.

So, I told someone this week that it sort of freaks me out when someone finds my blog because they googled air traffic controllers wife (wives). But today is just too weird . . . I got a hit from someone googling air traffic control relationships wives. Given that the hubby and I are back to the same old same old struggles … and I hate writing about all that in the open since my daughter reads my blog … but hey, she can't be oblivious when we live in a cardboard box called a mobile home where there is NO sense of privacy . . . but given the past 24 hours, I don't know what to say about someone searching for that phrase and finding my blog except, if you are the wife of a controller and you are looking for support, please visit my contact page and leave me a message.

Table Export to Database
|User, date
Written by everydayfam

Category: Import/Export
6 posts since Thu, 31 Jan 13
I'm trying to export a table (with data) from an existing MS-SQL database to a new MySQL database. I'm selecting the Create checkbox when I perform the export.
The process fails with a syntax error. From what I can tell, this is occurring due to the double-quotes that are being placed around each object reference.
I can export to a SQL file and use find & replace in a text editor to remove all the " in the file and it loads properly into the MySQL database.
I was wondering if there was a better way to accomplish this, to save me those extra steps.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, my apologies about being vague (and probably using the wrong terminology). Here's what is getting exported :
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "checklist_track" (
"checklist_track_id" INT NOT NULL,
"member_id" INT NOT NULL,
"group_id" INT NOT NULL,
"checklists_item_id" INT NOT NULL,
"created" DATETIME NOT NULL,
"updated" DATETIME NOT NULL,
"modified_by" VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL);
That is kicking up a syntax error from MySQL. When I remove all the " it processes successfully.
Thanks for looking at this, let me know if you have any other questions.

My research seems to indicate that setting the SQL mode to ANSI_QUOTES would resolve this. But I'm not sure how to do this, or if it can be done within the Export to a DB process within HeidiSQL. See the below URL for more info:

SQL exports in HeidiSQL work fine as long as you do not interchange data between MySQL and MSSQL. It's my goal to make this as compatible as it can be, but currently this is not done 100%. But who knows, probably setting ANSI mode also does it, although I guess you won't be able to import more complex data types, and indexes.
Fire this query on your MySQL server, just before you call the export dialog:
SET sql_mode:='ANSI'

Gotcha, I thought that this was the preferred way to convert from MSSQL to MySQL. Is there a better method I should be using?
If not, I'll use the code you provided. Thanks for the support and for the great product!

Review: inFAMOUS 2
Ed Note: This review contains spoilers for the first inFAMOUS.
One month after the events of the first game, inFAMOUS 2 puts you back in Cole's shoes as he seeks to become stronger, leaving you to decide whether he saves the world or destroys it.
Cole MacGrath: the courier-turned-superhero/villain after a package he was sent to deliver (containing the Ray Sphere) exploded with him in the center of the blast. The result was an enormous crater in the middle of faux-New York City, dubbed Empire City. Cole is what is known as a "conduit", a person who can channel the Ray Sphere's radiation into supernormal abilities. His power is to create, conduct, and manipulate electricity. He can shoot balls of lightning, hover on the static in the air, push enemies back with a wall of electricity, and even toss timed electric grenades. And that was just the beginning. Throughout inFAMOUS 1 Cole developed heightened powers based on his karma standing.
But while you can certainly change your moral standing for the sequel, the game doesn't want you to. You're urged to import your previous karma standing, making inFAMOUS 2 not only a franchise sequel but a character sequel as well.
The developers got me. After all, why start fresh when a character history already exists?
Continuing your inFAMOUS 1 story gave me starting bonuses toward the sequel, like extra energy for my shard collecting in the previous game and a level 1 good karma bonus (out of 3) for my Jesus-like handling of the situations presented in the past. Though I'd initially planned on taking the "infamous" route this time around I was going "hero" in this sequel and there was no turning back now.
Clearly continuing from the "hero" ending of the previous game, Cole starts with an upbeat disposition and acts and speaks like he downright cares about others, even in cutscenes that call for the player to make a good/evil decision. Because of his relationship with Trish, Zeke's actions, and the reveal of Kessler's identity in the first game I was expecting a very grim Cole. But inFAMOUS 2 feels centered much less around actually being "infamous" rated, with less emphasis on choosing good or evil missions to play (until the last mission) and more focus on the progression of the main plot, as well as on the continued development of Cole as a character. His development works well with the new voice actor, who helps bring more emotion to the character this time around. Strangely, many of the evil mission options just feel wrong for the story, and I got the impression the developers want the player to lean toward a hero standing.
The game opens with a younger looking, remodeled baby-face Cole with a healed scar on his cheek jumping into an epic battle with The Beast, a man-shaped molten lava giant, as it wreaks terrible destruction upon Empire City as prophesied at the end of the first game. The prophecy stated that The Beast was coming and Cole needed to be much more powerful to face it. This is the moment Kessler was trying to train Cole for.
While a great, epic, chaotic opening tutorial, the scene culminates in God of War sequel syndrome leaving Cole drained of his advanced powers after a fight that leaves him exhausted, weakened, and temporarily defeated. You do maintain your static thrusters (which allow you to glide in air) from the beginning this time, which is nice.
But a Dr. Wolfe in a fictional New Orleans might be able to help. Wolfe has found a way to enhance existing powers which will help him charge a device Wolfe created called the Ray Field Inhibitor (RFI) and take down The Beast. Cole's obsession with the prophecy combined with his defeat sends him on a power lusting mission to New Marais to meet Wolfe, where a fascist militia led by a man named Bertrand is on a rampage against "delinquents." By now, people have heard what happened in Empire City during the events of the first game and have also heard of the utter destruction The Beast brought to the city. Panic ensues as the city becomes aware the monster is on its way down the coast of the U.S., destroying all it can as it travels, and the militia uses force to maintain control.
The tracking of The Beast acts as a cool visual aid to your progress in the game. Throughout the 40 story missions the player will be told how many miles away The Beast is from New Marais, and the pause menu displays a map that charts its distance, giving you a stylish progress bar for the main plot.
But while fear is building, live-action news special reports play (and give misinformation) and the militia crushes protests, arresting anyone who steps out of line - especially when Cole, misunderstood as "The Demon from Empire City" arrives. But these aren't even the biggest problems the town faces. A mysterious plague has hit the area killing people indiscriminately, and other conduits have appeared in New Marais. A new character named Nix, for example, has Night Crawler-like teleportation and the ability to manipulate and create what looks like oil — flammable when used in conjunction with Cole's electricity. While you get to team up with her throughout the game, it is made clear that she is your evil choice for story missions: she craves destruction and vengeance. Kuo, on the other hand, a female NSA agent who is interested in Cole's powers and investigating Bertrand's connection to the Ray Sphere, is always the "good" choice for missions, as she shows calculated compassion when creating an offensive. Cole's best bud from the first game, Zeke, is also around to give advice and help plan, having made amends with Cole after his betrayal in inFAMOUS 1, however rocky. It's worth mentioning that there is one scene in the middle of the game in which Zeke and Cole chill out for an evening to have some "bro time" that is done fantastically, especially given all that's going on around them. Sucker Punch's directing really shines here.
But Cole and Nix are not the only conduits in town; there are also powers-induced people who were given their abilities through a machine that can transfer powers. These new enemies give way to many fights, and later on chaotic war-like street battles that pop up randomly along the map: the militia is fighting conduits who are also fighting "corrupted" – mutants that have been popping up around the city. Rockets, shotguns, machine guns, claws, ice, plus moves created by Cole's ability to team up with Nix and another conduit character creates an immense amount of destruction on a grand scale that will keep you moving, strategizing, and throwing everything you have at your enemies (including cars), making this iteration really feel like a superhero game.
And that's where the game excels best: utter chaos and destruction. Cole has truly become a powerhouse. He's extremely powerful and not to be taken lightly — especially in "infamous" with a deep taste for terror and destruction. The explosions coupled with the environmental effects, like scaffolding crumbling from the weight of a blast, look and feel fantastic, further tempting the player to throw everyone under the bus by, well, throwing the bus on top of everything (actually, you cannot throw a bus but throwing cars is equally effective). You'll often feel like you're part of an action movie, especially with Die Hard 4-style attacks like blasting a car into a helicopter.
The new powers are not bad, though only a couple of them impressed me. Noteworthy is the addition of ionic powers, which let Cole gather ionic energy drops from fallen enemies to replenish an upgradeable ion gauge, allowing him to summon crazy-powerful environmental attacks that one shot most of the enemies on the screen.
And of course there's the story which, while not as big of a twist as the first game (no time travel references here), tells a solid story with mostly natural character development and an epic end to the series whether Cole ends as a hero or infamous (the infamous ending could give way to a sequel but would be a totally different game).
While the story missions won't take you very long, there are plenty of side missions to complete as well as the new User-Generated Content (UGC). These are custom-created missions that can feasibly be in infinite supply like LittleBigPlanet's, also giving way to a steady supply of XP toward powers upgrades. Of course, these have the potential to be masterful or downright terrible because of the complex level creator included. The missions are fully integrated in the map and appear as any other mission marker, only green.
I thoroughly enjoyed inFAMOUS 2. My only wish is that I'd played through as evil, but that's what a second playthrough is for, right? I'm looking forward to it.

Ch -Ch-Changes
I've had some Gorgonzola cheese in the fridge for several months now, and I finally offered it on Freecycle... someone is coming to pick it up tomorrow. I feel free! I am overweight and food has been a struggle for many years, but I feel like I am finally eating what my body needs and enjoying it... I am not feeling obsessed about portions, but I have noticed that I am eating less than usual. The best thing, is that none of this is forced.. it has come naturally...
OMG... my neighbors are lighting off so many fireworks and my dog is going NUTS... she is NOT happy. We celebrated her "guesstimated" first birthday yesterday..
8 comments:
Hey Melody!!! Good for you on the CHANGES!!! (i hear David Bowie now!!)ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry about the fireworks and your dog. I *hate* this time of year because of that... It's just so awful what it does to animals. They don't understand... Every night in the summer at SeaWorld (ugh!) they do a fireworks show and while it's beautiful, as fireworks are pretty, i always fear for the animals (at SeaWorld and beyond... they are visible and hear-able far, far away from SeaWorld)...
And even tho Mattie is deaf, the lights going on and off and the "feel" of them frighten her. I'm not a fan.
You go, girl! I'm still making your recipes every week! I love the addition of fresh ginger. My daughter likes your recipes so much that she is actually thinking about becoming a vegetarian full- time.ReplyDelete
As a Greek Orthodox Christian, the church recommends that we fast from meat and dairy about half of the year. Seriously...every Wednesday and Friday, Lent, Christmas Fast, and two other smaller periods of fasting.
Before coming to your blog, I was making spaghetti and baked potatoes way too much. Now you've helped me to add variety. Thanks so much! It will be interesting to see how my daughter fares in her quest.
Bravo to you, again!
Cheese is my weakness.ReplyDelete
I can only hope that someday cheese will hold no appeal for me. But I am from Wisconsin, it is hard. At least beer is vegan :)ReplyDelete
DEFINITELY!! Finding blogspot and this little "community" has been absolutely wonderful for me. I think the biggest influence was seeing how much you all really enjoyed the process... it rubbed off on me or something because in the past, the vegan process was one of sacrifice, guilt, good/bad and all that. Now, it seems natural and I never, ever thought tht would happen.
Hey Melody, once I gave up on the idea of "replacing" cheese and started exploring everything else that's out there, I found veganism very very easy. Get this: my favorite meal used to be double cheese pizza with NO other toppings, fettuccinne alfredo, chocolate milk and ice cream for dessert. Yet, I don't miss it at all!ReplyDelete
So yeah, what you said makes sense. It's easier not to miss something when the food you're eating doesn't involve it.
what is freecycle??ReplyDelete

The news is bad. When two of the nicest, friendliest, most competent people on the planet (and yes, I speak of John and Martha King) find themselves victimized by law enforcement based on sloppy investigative practices, you have no choice but to ask, "Who is safe from this sort of short-sighted, narrow-minded, over-zealous security that has so obviously run amok?" Sadly, the obvious answer is, nobody. But that's not the burning question at this point. The real issue is, what are you gonna do about it?

If you think the 112th Congress was a weak, unproductive bunch, you're not alone. Saxby Chambliss agrees with you.
"Unfortunately that's the way it feels inside, not just outside," Georgia's senior senator told me over coffee at his Cobb County office Tuesday. "Harry Reid's leadership [in the Senate] leaves a lot to be desired, and the in-your-face stuff that the president's thrown at us has gotten a lot of backs up on our side, in both the House and the Senate. You throw the presidential election in there and it just kind of all came together, and nothing got done."
Readers who are not GOP partisans would probably add House Republicans to Chambliss' list of Washington's bad actors. But after spending the past few years working with a handful of his fellow senators to fashion a big, bipartisan deal to reform the federal tax code and reduce spending, to no avail, Chambliss conveyed disdain for the way the Jan. 1 agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff came about. And he blamed President Barack Obama.
"He was pretty open about the fact that, 'Look, if we go off the cliff, if you guys don't give me what I want, if we go off the cliff, I'm going to get what I want. And then I will spend the first three weeks of January beating the heck out of Republicans, and then I'll present my plan of [tax cuts for those earning] $250,000 or less and dare you guys to vote against it.' That's just not the way that you get major things accomplished."
What Obama did accomplish — higher taxes on some high earners — bought little time before the next showdown. By March, Congress and the president will face a trio of expirations: the debt ceiling, the delay in automatic budget cuts known as sequestration, and the temporary funding Congress has enacted in lieu of a budget for almost three years now.
"Some people might argue that the debt ceiling is the least pressure point [of the three] because you've got to pay your bills," Chambliss said, "and that's what [Obama] keeps saying, that 'I … dare you to not allow us to pay the bills that you've incurred.'
"Well the fact is, the Democratic Congress incurred the bills. This administration incurred the bills. The Republicans have been in charge of the House for two years; this money was basically spent in the two years before that when you look at the stimulus package and the other spending that he put in place to create the massive deficits. So for him to come out and say, 'You guys are obligated to pay your bills' — I didn't vote for any of that stuff."
Because the debt ceiling isn't really about whether to default on the national debt — the Treasury takes in far more revenue than it needs to make debt payments — the more likely short-term alternative to raising the debt ceiling is a federal government shutdown. (Which is not to suggest there would be no consequences, or only mild ones, for taking that route.)
Chambliss said he hopes it doesn't come to that, but once again he put the onus on the president. In the past, he noted, Obama has embraced both the need to reform entitlements and a ratio of $3 of spending cuts for every $1 of tax increases.
"If [Obama's] serious about that, then … the likelihood of a shutdown would certainly be minimized. If he gets his back up and says, 'We'll only do this if we get more revenue,' then I'd say the chances of a shutdown are pretty good. … If he wants to get serious, show the world marketplace that we are going to lead in this area, he'll have that opportunity. If he doesn't, then something dramatic has got to happen, and a shutdown could be it."
Chambliss is up for re-election next year, and it's no secret tea partyers and Democrats alike are eyeing his seat for a possible challenge. "I've never backed off from a fight," he said. Fine, but does the bitterness in Washington ever make him think twice about running again?
"This is an eight-year decision for me. It's two years [campaigning] plus six years" in office, he said. "And if I thought the next eight years were going to be filled with contentious debates and the wrong way to govern that we have just gone through in the last two months, it would have a significant impact on my decision. But yeah, right now my plans are to run."

First Clarence says that the "112th Congress was a weak, unproductive bunch," then says the "government shutdown is up to Obama? This is the same guy who gave Bush a blank check (never said no to any spending bill), won't identify the cuts in spending that he appropriated that has built up our annual deficit to more than a trillion dollars, and has been an obstructionist for the past eight years
January 10th, 2013
6:04 am
Question for Clarence. If you supported a President increased our debt to $10 trillion, and you approved every spending bill that took the country from a budget surplus to having an annual budget deficit of $1.5 trillion dollars, what would your accumulated debt be in four years? Government shutdown is up to Obama? No Clarence, it's arithmetic and you have not told us of any spending cuts that would significantly reduce the annual deficit.
January 10th, 2013

Kind of like when the Democratic Congress incurred debt filled budgets because George W Bush dared them to vote against Freedom and Democracy? The money spent on the war sure would be nice to have now.
January 10th, 2013
6:24 am
What a lot of bull!
The Bush Republican administration and Congress reversed the Clinton legacy of burgeoning federal budget surpluses and ended the period of the greatest well-being and prosperity Americans will ever know. First, they reduced revenue by cutting the taxes of high-earners. Then, they started two wars: the most costly one was unnecessary and counter-strategic, the other one the longest running war in American history. Finally, they abetted the financial manipulators in New York and London in crashing our economy.
When the new administration took office in the midst of a financial crisis that threatened Americans with another economic depression, Chambliss and his Republican henchmen obstructed economic recovery, paralyzed the Congress, and held the economic system hostage to their demands for "spending cuts" that they lack the political courage to specify .
The American people have shown in elections and polls that they will not tolerate drastic cuts in Medicare and Social Security to give the ultra-rich more tax relief and to fund more spending on useless cold war weapons programs. The American people overwhelmingly favor increasing federal revenue by reinstating Clinton-era tax rates on high-earners. And many Americans are smart enough to know that significant federal spending cuts while we are struggling to recover from Republican economics would cause drastic job cuts that would plunge the economy back into recession.
Chambliss and his Republican henchmen in Congress are a bunch of hack politicians financed by Wall Street financial manipulators and voted into office by southern rednecks. They have no loyalty to the United States of America, nor any regard for the well-being of Americans.

"The Democratic Congress incurred the debt…" Really, Saxby? Are you joking? You do realize that over 20% of the debt we MUST pay is attributable to the two wars, which you certainly did vote for. What an idiot. No wonder we are in such a mess when we have legislators that deny they are the problem. I had a flash of hope that Chambliss might be able to help lead us out of this mess by being reasonable. But once he compromises to try to get our country back on track, the threats by Tea Partiers to "primary" him make him turn yellow and lose his backbone. We raise the debt ceiling (which is a stupid, arbitrary thing that was raise 16 times by Dubya the Dumb) to be able to pay our past debts. When our "leaders" refuse to raise the ceiling, they are telling our debtors that we are low life scum, who choose not to pay our bills. These bills, contrary to Saxby's attempt to spin it, were incurred by Rebublicans as well as Democrats.

Well, get ready for the shutdown then. Not only will obozo want more taxes, he'll probably want more spending too.
January 10th, 2013
7:24 am
HAHAHA! Sounds like Saxby did a good job of selling himself to Kyle as the poor pitiful ultra conservative right winger from Georgia who just can't make any headway because of that mean old uppity Obama. Guess what, Kyle. Obama did not win as a result of unskewed polls. The majority of the voters have caught on to the Republican party and it's desire to continue to feed at the trough of the Koch boys and Sheldon Adelson, et al, at the expense of the 99.9 percent. HAHAHA! Perhaps two billion will be enough campaign financing to get one of your boys in the White House in four more years. Probably not.

Obama got his tax increase but will not go for spending decreases, repubs will most likely fold instead of fighting.
January 10th, 2013
7:28 am
Obama, Reid and a bunch of democrats, plus the media, of course, want the uninformed public to believe it's all the republicans' fault. Although the republicans are guilty of spending too much, too, it's the dems who are the party of big spending. The Tea Party gets nothing but bad press, but they are the ones who want to curb spending and reduce taxes. Go figure.
January 10th, 2013
7:34 am
No surprises here – not my fault – his fault!! Looks like we will have more of the same "fun" and the ones that will be the big losers will be the American public.

I'm calling out saxby for his utter bs…how's about 2 undunded wars, medicare part d, and nonsensical, irresponsible tax cuts that squarely put us in this mess? Really sick of republican amnesia, that's why we are in such dire straits – one sided responsiblities, it's absurd!

That's Republican Math to make him feel better.
What a weak politician. Blame everyone but himself. Where was he during Bush's big spending years? Did he vote for waging war in Iraq without paying for it? Did he vote for Medicare Part D without a way to pay for it?
January 10th, 2013

Cry me a river Senator.
The Congress voted to spend the money, not just the Democrats.
Man up and pay your bills like the rest of us have to.

Chambliss is completely useless……. The only thing he is good at is collecting paychecks and getting re-elected. He is the epitome of a Georgia politician.
January 10th, 2013
8:31 am
LOL. Chambliss is delusional.
Let's see who shoulders the blame should such a thing happen. Who shouldered the blame the last time such a thing happened?
January 10th, 2013
8:33 am
If Chambliss really said this headline, then he is part of the problem.
The 'government shutdown' can only be caused by Congress not increasing the debt ceiling. This means that the Congress decided not in pay bills already incurred. President Obama has nothing to do with this.
If the idiot con repub or ANYONE wants to decrease spending…. you do this through the BUDGET. If this Congress voted 'yes' on the budget, how can they vote 'no' when it comes time to pay the bills?
The analogy would be you using your VISA card to purchase food, but when the bill comes in the mail, you say 'nope', not gonna pay it. The idiot con repub wants the public to think that by saying 'no' this will somehow make the food magically return to the store?
However, there is a large percentage of idiot public that will listen to the idiot con repub….
January 10th, 2013
8:35 am
"I'd say the the chances of a shutdown are pretty good"
It looks like the Republicans are going to do everything possible to force a shutdown.
Then, they will do everything possible to persuade the public it's all Obama's fault.
They are still so angry at American voters for not electing Romney that punishing the Country with a shutdown actually seems like a good idea.
January 10th, 2013

It is hard to balance the budget when the President does not think we have a spending problem.
January 10th, 2013
9:09 am
Obama said he will not compromise on paying the nation's debts. He said he will not capitulate to hostage takers in the House again and has vowed to break them of this habit. I think he's going to mint the coin and stop the children from fighting. That's what adults have to do sometimes with children who keep fighting. Take away their toy and nobody gets to play. As far as Saxby, he's a target now of his own party, but I doubt the TP is powerful enough to take him down. The TP's power is fading and people are starting to understand the danger they pose to our economic health. Saxby will ultimately win this fight.
January 10th, 2013

LOL….he certainly sound like he's running for re-election too. The Republican party apparently has no part in the fiscal mess facing this country…facepalm
January 10th, 2013

What, what…..in your face republicans get upset when someone gets back up in their face? This country has some major issues and all the American people get are sophomoric idiots.
January 10th, 2013
9:24 am
Did Chambliss pay for the wars? Farm bills? What about those budget-busting tax cuts or the Prescription Drug bill? To lay blame for policies that he didn't vote as the problem is asinine. And that's the problem w Republicans. They ignore their big spending ways of years past, and act as if the nation's debt was $0 the day Obama was inaugurated.
The first step to recovery, and regaining the trust of Americans on the fence about both parties is to admit your mistakes. Chambliss didn't in this article, and Kyle had the opportunity to bring it up and didn't. He should have mentioned that he did vote for all the deficit spending mentioned above, and I don't believe the wars are entirely paid for.
January 10th, 2013
9:27 am
Taxme and Johnny are so wishy washy it is difficult to put much faith in their words. What they say for the home folks, has little resemblance to their voting records. Hard to comment on what they say because it means absolutely nothing.
January 10th, 2013
9:31 am
'You guys are obligated to pay your bills' — I didn't vote for any of that stuff." I guess Saxby thinks that when a bill is passed, the cost for it there will never be an additional expense associated with that vote. I won't look it up, but I'd guess Saxby voted for both the Bush tax cuts and the Iraq war when he was in the House. Earth to Saxby, those two votes will cost this country for the next couple of generations. Those votes, coupled withe the repeal of Glass Steagall has set this country on a path that will cost generations of people who were not eligible to vote in 2000 and 2004 a tremendous amount of money. Saxby, take Economics 101 before you make comments about the debt and deficit.

The hypocrisy of Chambliss' statements about the fiscal cliff deal is palpable, even if explainable by his reelection concerns. After the four years of Republicans' paralyzing the Senate by filibuster he dares to accuse of the President of insisting on what he ran on in the election, won, and was supported by a majority of the people?
But even that pales in comparison with the complete idiocy of Chambliss' claim that the bills requiring raising the debt ceiling are just the bills that the Democratic Congress and this administration incurred. The legal obligations include, among other things, Social Security and Medicare benefits, interest on the debt, military salaries etc. How does Chambliss distinguish the money to be paid for those items from whatever the Democratic Congress and administration "incurred," and the items the Republicans voted for?
January 10th, 2013
9:36 am
Republicans are ready to increase the debt limit and implement common-sense spending controls. Let us hope Obozo and the Democrats back down from their irresponsible threats to obstruct progress.
January 10th, 2013

So Republicans pass the biggest increase in the history of Medicare in 2004 and now they want a Democratic president to offer cuts in social programs. What planet do you guys live on?

Darwin, would you support repealing that Medicare Part D? You understand that Obozo INCREASED spending on it, making it even more generous to seniors, right?
January 10th, 2013

Chambliss is referring to Obozo increasing spending by around $700 billion above what he inherited.

10:22 am
OK – thanks
Senator bernie sanders nails it:
"My Republican colleagues say that the deficits are a spending problem, not a revenue problem. What these deficit-hawk hypocrites won't talk about is their spending. They won't discuss what they did to dig the country into this $1 trillion deep deficit hole. They waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq without paying for them. They gave away huge tax breaks for the rich. They squandered taxpayer dollars on the pharmaceutical industry by making it illegal to let Medicare bargain for lower drug prices. They also rescinded financial regulations that enabled Wall Street to operate like a gambling casino, leading to a severe recession that eroded tax revenue and left more than 14 percent of American workers unemployed or underemployed"
January 10th, 2013
10:26 am
@Kyle…you sure that was coffee you guys were drinking?
"the Democratic Congress incurred the bills"…O' Dear Saxby meet George. He was once President. Raised deficit spending from 0 to $1 trillion plus by giving away money in tax cuts, starting unfunded wars and running the economy in the ditch. Time to pay the bill.
As for this nugget…""He was pretty open about the fact that, 'Look, if we go off the cliff, if you guys don't give me what I want, if we go off the cliff, I'm going to get what I want."
Elections have consequences, win and you set the agenda, lose the other guys do. Rather than whining and holding your breath the responsiblity of the the losers is to work within the parameters set by the winners.
January 10th, 2013
10:29 am
@LBB…"Chambliss is referring to Obozo increasing spending by around $700 billion above what he inherited."
Then like you he is wrong…as always. Obama has increased spending less than 2% a year since the Duhbya Debacle…less than any president in modern times.
January 10th, 2013
10:30 am
Bernie Sanders seems to have forgotten that the last deficit before Dems took the Congress in 2006 was $160 billion. Our President Bush never proposed or ran a trillion dollar deficit. That dishonor belongs solely to Obozo.
January 10th, 2013
10:35 am
When members of Congress have one secretary, are paid a flat salary with no perks each year of their tenure, and no government retirement benefits, then (and only then) talk about cutting Social Security and Medicare. We all have to give a little and some have to give up their aristocracy. Lord Clarence, Downton Abby is fiction so is the United States Congress (the only bi-partisan fact known to exist).
January 10th, 2013
10:44 am
I just love the good Senator blaming Obama. As I recall the GOP turned down a four to one spending to tax increase deal that Obama and Boehner cooked up last year. The dynamics have changed and the deal offered isn't as good, in good part because of GOP intransigence and now it's Obama to blame?
January 10th, 2013
10:46 am
@LBB…"Our President Bush never proposed or ran a trillion dollar deficit. "
Factually incorrect…Duhbya both proposed and ran FY 2009. Deficit $1.4 trillion.
January 10th, 2013
10:52 am
No, JDW, $3.7 trillion (Obozo's annual spending) is not a 2% decrease over $3 trillion (Our President Bush's spending).
