L'Oréal's Newest Face: Gwen Stefani!
Written on January 18, 2011 at 7:37 am , by April Franzino
We've loved Gwen Stefani since we were teenagers: She's always nailed the balance between being sporty and strong yet still beautiful and feminine. Apparently beauty behemoth L'Oréal Paris agrees, as they've just named her their newest spokeswoman. Appropriately—thanks to her trademark rouge lips—she's appearing in ads for the brand's upcoming Infallible Le Rouge Lipcolour (which you may have caught during Sunday's Golden Globes). Congratulations to Gwen!

Pacific Focus: Millennium Development goals plus the Mauritius Strategy & The Brussels Programme of Action
The mission EPOC is restated to focus on supporting Pacific countries in their efforts to attain their Millennium Development Goals through the implementation of the Mauritius Strategy.
The Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small island developing states (SIDS) is the blueprint for SIDS and the international community to address national and regional sustainable development in SIDS that takes into account economic, social and environmental aspects. It sets out the basic principles as well as specific actions required at the national, regional and international levels to support sustainable development in SIDS.
The Programme of Action was first endorsed by at the Global Conference on Sustainable Development of SIDS held in Barbados in 1994. In 2005 a review meeting was held in Mauritius, which adopted the Mauritius Strategy for Further Implementation of the Programme of Action.
Small island developing States and territories share a number of disadvantages, including small population, a narrow range of resources, susceptibility to natural disasters, excessive dependence on international trade and vulnerability to global developments. In addition, they suffer from lack of economies of scale, high transportation and communication costs, and costly public administration and infrastructure.

What is the Global Mandate?
The Mauritius Strategy for the further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States was adopted by 129 members and associated member countries of regional commissions in a global conference held in Mauritius in 2005. It covers the period 2005 to 2015 and succeeds the Barbados Programme of Action (BPOA). The Mauritius Strategy is the United Nations Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States, and represented the only global development strategy that addresses the unique development problems of this important and vulnerable group of countries. The Strategy includes 19 Chapters relating to the development concerns that include environmental management (e.g. climate change, waste management, marine and coastal management, energy), transport and communication, trade, national sustainable development strategies, education health and knowledge management.
ESCAP assists Pacific Island governments to implement the Mauritius Strategy, particularly through assistance in the development and implementation of national sustainable development strategies as the main mechanism to implement the Mauritius Strategy on the national level. Key partners of the Centre are the Pacific Island Forum Secretariat and SPREP as well as the SIDS Unit of UN-DESA , UN-OHRLLS , UNESCO and the UNDP Pacific Centre.

About Compass
Between the two of us we have spent more than 40 years on a skateboard. Both West Michigan natives, we moved away after high school to various areas of the country to pursue different avenues of life. The idea of eventually returning home and creating our own skate shop had always been on the horizon. After all the different skate spots we've experienced first-hand, from New York to Hong Kong, we've learned that at the foundation of any solid skate scene exists a core skate shop.
Compass Skate Shop is our dream realized.

MOSINEE, WI (WSAU) - A busy highway bridge is going to be closed much of next week. The Highway 34 overpass crossing I-39 south of Mosinee has allowed one lane of northbound traffic during this spring's deck replacement. Now, highway workers are at a point where they need to close the bridge to finish pouring concrete.
The bridge will close at 6:00 a.m. Monday, June 3rd and reopen to traffic at 6:00 a.m. Thursday June 6th.
Motorists on Highway 34 northbound heading for Interstate I-39 will be detoured to Highway DB to enter the freeway at exit 171. All of the highway 34 interchange ramps will remain open, which means motorists leaving southbound I-39 exiting onto southbound Highway 34 will not be impacted by this closure.
Motorists coming from the Junction City area towards Mosinee and Wausau may choose to stay on Highway 10 and access I-39 just north of Stevens Point instead of using the detour.

Flying Dutchmen Senior Named To Allstate/National Coaches Good Works Team®
Hope College's Grant Neil is one of 10 men's college basketball student-athletes chosen to the 2014 Allstate National Association of Basketball Coaches Good Works Team®.
The program, in its second year, recognizes men's and women's basketball players who have made a commitment to improving their communities and the lives of others. Ten's women's players across the country also were recognized.
"We are very proud of Grant receiving this award," said Tim Schoonveld, co-athletic director at Hope College. "It is a testament not only to Grant but to all of our coaches and athletes who are using the gifts that God has given them to make an impact on our community and world."
Grant Neil, son of Hope College men's basketball coach Matt Neil, follows former teammate Colton Overway as a Good Works Team® member. Overway was chosen in 2013.
"Our basketball program is honored that one of our players has been recognized by the Allstate Insurance Company as a Good Works Team member for the second consecutive year," Matt Neil said. "Grant's involvement with several different volunteering venues is indicative of what our team mission statement says: we want to give back to others."
Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® will be invited by Allstate, an official corporate partner of the NCAA, to the 2014 NABC Convention and 2014 NCAA Men's Final Four® in North Texas, where they will participate in a community service project.
The recognition means a lot, Grant Neil said.
"This is something I really wanted to get it because it's something about character, it's something about what you are about," Grant Neil said. "Hope is all about academic excellence and being successful on the court. Hope is also about transformational experiences. Coming in as a freshman, I'm a lot different now. I give a lot of credit to Hope for that."
Grant Neil is pursuing a degree in business management at Hope College. The West Ottawa High School graduate is a starting forward on the Flying Dutchmen basketball team, which is in first place in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
In December, Grant Neil was chosen a Men's Soccer NCAA Division III Second-Team All-American in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tire program.
Off the court, Grant Neil volunteers at Community Reformed Church in Zeeland to watch four- and five-year-olds. He also helps tutor at Holland Heights School once a week. Every summer, he works at Camp Sunshine, which serves people ages 12 to 50 who have developmental disabilities.
"Even though Grant devotes endless hours to train for two sports, he makes time to participate and serve this community," Matt Neil said. "Student athletes have rich experiences because of the sacrifices of many, and it is crucial for student-athletes to give back to that community in order to complete the entire process.
"At Hope, our desire is to blend on-field excellence with off-field transformational experiences. Grant has taken this to heart and lived it out. As his father, I am humbled. As his coach, I am honored. He has taken our mission seriously. Our athletes appreciate the support they receive and find reward in providing support and encouragement to others in return."
The Allstate NABC and Women's Basketball Coaches Association Good Works Teams® are each comprised of 10 student-athletes: five from the NCAA® Division I, and five combined from NCAA Divisions II, III and the NAIA.

USPS supporter in Senate criticizes postmaster general
Tuesday - 3/20/2012, 7:27am EDT
"The postmaster general and I fundamentally disagree on how to save the U.S. Postal Service," Collins said, on the Senate floor Monday. "I am concerned, indeed deeply worried, that he will continue to make decisions that will severely degrade the service and drive away customers. That will undermine the opportunity for our bipartisan legislation to be successful."
Collins and Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) authored one of several bills to give USPS some financial help.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) (AP photo)
He also wants to control the agency's own health care benefit program, which Donahoe said would save $7.1 billion annually. Its recent strategic plan aims to save $20 billion a year by 2015.
But Collins said this plan flies in the face of the work she and her colleagues have done with Donahoe over the last year.
"The approach taken by our postal reform bill, the 21st Century Postal Service Act, would be to reduce excess capacity while still preserving service for the customers of the Postal Service," she said.
Collins added the bill she and her colleagues submitted would not ban the closure of every single post facility, but it would establish service standards and allow for public feedback to ensure that delivery delays and the impact on customers would be considered.
"Our bill would still allow the Postal Service to reduce the workforce using buyouts," she said. "And, it would still allow processing capacity to be reduced to match the decline in volume."
The Collins-Lieberman-Carper bill is set to come to the full Senate for a vote in the coming weeks. Collins said the fact that the bill is coming to the Senate floor shortly should slow down Donahoe's plans.
"On top of the damage already incurred, what this reckless move demonstrates is an attitude that is dead-set on its service-degrading, customer-be-ignored approach," she said. "That attitude seems so stubbornly entrenched that I worry that even if our bill becomes law, the current Postal Service leadership would not enact it properly in good faith."
Collins also questioned whether postal reform legislation was worth pursuing any longer.
A USPS spokesman told Federal News Radio the agency had no comment on Collins' criticisms.

The following article was written by the late Eric M. Noonan, Assistant Executive Deputy Attorney General. Eric joined the office of Attorney General in 1988 and over the next eleven years became a recognized expert in wiretap law. He also gained a reputation for honesty, integrity and diligence throughout the law enforcement community in Pennsylvania. His intelligence and wit made him a beloved and trusted supervisor.
Eric M. Noonan
February 19, 1958 - April 24, 1999
By: Eric M. Noonan
Assistant Executive Deputy Attorney General
Organized Crime & Narcotics
The general rule in Pennsylvania is that electronic surveillance is illegal. For the purposes of this article, "electronic surveillance" shall include the interception (to include recording) of electronic (digital pagers, computers/e-mail, fax machines), oral (face-to-face conversations where there is an expectation of privacy/non-interruption) and wire (telephone conversations) communications. This general rule, and certain limited exceptions thereto, appear in Pennsylvania?s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act, 18 Pa. C.S. § 5701, et seq.
Some 41 other states nationwide have their own wiretapping/electronic surveillance statutes. These statutes follow either a "one party consent" or "two/all party consent" rule. The former creates an exception to the foregoing general prohibition if one of the parties to the intercepted communication is aware of, and has consented to the interception. The latter reflects a more restrictive rule -- that being that both, or all parties to the intercepted communication must be aware of and have consented to its interception. Pennsylvania falls into the latter, more restrictive category.
In addition to the various state statutes, the federal government has its own wiretapping/electronic surveillance statute at 18 U.S.C. § 2510 et seq. The federal statute is of the less-restrictive "one party consent" variety. This federal law is what authorizes the various states to enact their own statutes. Generally speaking, in order for state statutes to be deemed lawful, they must comport with the constraints of the federal statute. The state statutes can be even more restrictive than the federal statutes, however, they cannot be less restrictive. In addition, there must be compliance with the constraints of the United States Constitution and the respective state constitutions.
There are certain limited exceptions to the general prohibition against electronic surveillance. The exceptions exist for so-called "providers of wire or electronic communication service" (e.g., telephone companies and the like) and law enforcement in the furtherance of criminal investigative activities. With the limited exception of telemarketers, there is no sweeping exception for the private sector absent all parties? awareness and consent to the interception of the communication.
As to the providers? exception -- this generally relates to ensuring the proper operation of their facilities and protection of themselves and their customers from fraudulent or illegal use of their facilities. As to the law enforcement exception -- interceptions can only be undertaken in the furtherance of a criminal investigation. Further, the police do not have an unfettered ability to do interceptions. Their authority is tempered in situations where one of the parties has consented to law enforcement?s eavesdropping by the fact that they must get the prior approval of a designated prosecutor. Further, in the event the conversation is expected to take place in a home, a probable cause-based court order is required in addition to the attorney?s approval. In the event the interception proposed by law enforcement is without any of the participants? knowledge or consent, then a court must issue an order based not only on a finding of probable cause, but also a judicial finding that the technique is necessary -- that more traditional/less intrusive investigative techniques would fail or would be fruitless to continue, or would be too dangerous to try. As to the telemarketers? exception -- interception can only be undertaken for training, quality control or business monitoring purposes.
The majority of the Act is devoted to the law enforcement exception. In that regard, the Act provides law enforcement with five investigative techniques: 1) consensual interception of electronic, oral or wire communications (where one of the parties to the communication is aware of, and has consented to law enforcement?s electronic eavesdropping); 2) records/information access (i.e. toll records/long distance billing information subscriber information, etc.); 3) mobile tracking devices (electronic tracking of the movement of a vehicle, parcel, etc.); 4) pen register/trap & trace device and telecommunication identification interception device (devices that provide law enforcement with the outgoing numbers dialed from a targeted telephone facility, source of incoming calls to a targeted telephone facility and the electronic serial number/mobile identification number assigned to a cellular telephone facility, respectively); and 5) nonconsensual interception of electronic, oral or wire communications (where none of participants in the communication are aware of or have consented to law enforcement?s electronic eavesdropping).
As to 1), consensuals -- the technique must receive the prior approval of the District Attorney, Attorney General or an Assistant DA/Deputy AG before being undertaken. Further, if the technique is to occur in the "home" of anyone other than the consenting party, then a probable cause-based court order is also required. As to 2), records/information access -- either a subpoena, search warrant, court order or the consent of the customer/subscriber to the facility in question must be obtained before law enforcement can access the material. As to 3), mobile tracking -- a court order is required before the technique may be undertaken. As to 4), pen register, etc. -- a probable cause-based court order is required. As to 5) nonconsensuals -- a probable cause-based court order is required finding not only that certain crimes have been, will be or are being committed, but also that there is a need for law enforcement?s use of this technique.
Disclosure/use of contents of communications obtained hereby is authorized only in extremely limited circumstances. For criminal investigative purposes, an investigative or law enforcement officer who, pursuant to the proper performance of his/her duties has acquired knowledge of the contents of a communication, may disclose such contents to another investigative or law enforcement officer so long as such disclosure is appropriate to the proper performance of the duties of both the disclosing and receiving officer. Likewise, such investigative or law enforcement officer may use such information (which may implicitly include further disclosure) as appropriate to the proper performance of that officer?s duties (such as disclosure to a judge in an affidavit for a search or arrest warrant).

5 Retail Stocks That Show Growth is Good
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Driving down Route 52 this weekend I saw a sign. Not like, in the sky or anything, but a development sign. It said 'Coming Soon: 50 Acre Retail Destination Shopping.'
Apparently, a new shopping center is coming to my corner of South Carolina. It promises new 'upscale' shopping in a convenient location. Well, the sign does, anyway, and that was enough to get my wife and two girls excited. I'm not much of one for shopping, God knows, but it was enough to get me thinking about the long term prospects for retail stocks. There's more there than meets the eye.
One of my most basic beliefs is that the American economy is on its way back. Growth is slow, but steady, and things look brighter now than they have since 2008. Unemployment is going down and consumer spending in December was the highest in four years. Those are all very good signs for the retail sector and should get you thinking about the profits to be made, both for the firms and for you, as an investor.
There's retail and there's retail, though. Which retail companies can provide the return you want is as important as the simple decision to invest in the retail sector at all. High end? Low end? How will spending play out?
My thinking is that the prudent consumer should have a chart of both high-end and low-end retailers to cover the bases. Walmart (NYSE: WMT) should be a part of any retail portfolio, you should know that if you've been reading me. But here's my thinking on a reasonable set of retail stocks to provide growth while also providing protection against the fluctuations that the retail sector can see.
Of course, any investor who's thinking retail should have some Walmart in their portfolio. The Bentonville-based giant is somewhat of the 800-pound gorilla in the sector. While they face pressure from other low-end retailers, as I'll discuss below, no one is moving them off the top spot any time soon. In the last year Walmart stock has gone from $59.10 per share to $68.43. Toss in the fact that its board raised the dividend from 37 cents to 40 cents and it's a stock you should have.
Target (NYSE: TGT):
Target is, to my mind, the most significant competition that Walmart sees in the retail space. While maintaining its own, unique look, the retailer gives the appearance of being more upscale while keeping prices lower than Walmart. So you have a shopping experience that provides some consumer reinforcement while also being cheaper. A strong 12-month stock performance doesn't hurt, too. A year ago the firm's shares were trading at $48.57 while today they're at 60.58. Dividend growth has been good, too, with the firm increasing dividends by 20% over the year, from 30 cents to 36 cents per share.
Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN):
For the investor looking to round out his or her portfolio with some high-end retail, Nordstrom can fill that need. Not for the faint of heart, shopping at the truly upscale Nordstrom can be a pricy, but satisfying experience. The firm has the reputation for providing costly and quality goods. There's real money spent there, but shoppers report a high level of satisfaction from the experience. The company's stock has gone from $49.66 per share to $54.73 so it hasn't performed quite as well as Walmart and Target recently, but in a growing economy where people are spending more it could surprise.
Home Depot (NYSE: HD):
The first real specialty retailer on this list, Home Depot provides home improvement and building supplies to both large construction firms and homeowners. A growing economy means more building and construction and more moms and dads painting the living room as they become more comfortable spending on their homes. Another strong growth stock, its shares have climbed from $43.23 a year ago to $63.18 now. So money invested a year ago would have grown almost 50% and I don't think that's ended.
Walgreen (NYSE: WAG):
I couldn't leave a pharmacy off this list. While not everyone across the country will know about Walgreen (there are some regions where they're rare) the firm is one of the top pharmacies in the country, recently coming in 4th in the National Retail Federation's list of top retailers. The firm's sale grew more than 8% from 2010 to 2011, the latest year for which data is available and it has the most stores out there of any of the top 10 on the NRF list. The stock has had some ups and downs over the last year but finished up a bit more than 10% from a year ago. Raising its dividend from 23 cents per share to 28 cents isn't exactly a sign of weakness, either.
So, those are five stores I wouldn't mind seeing go in about half a mile from my house. I know that my family would shop there if any of those are the anchor stores going into the new mall. My biggest concern is making sure that I get some extra return on my family's shopping trips. And that means making sure I position myself correctly to take advantage of a retail sector that benefits from a growing economy. You can, too, if you pay attention to what's going to be built around you.

5.56X45mm NATO
It might seem odd to include the 5.56 NATO here, since it is the most popular AR-15 cartridge and the current military chambering, but the round has undergone considerable changes since its adoption. There are essentially two classes of this cartridge. The first and original class features light bullets like the 55-grain found in the M193 round. The second, epitomized by the Mk 262, Mod 0, and Mod 1 rounds developed by Black Hills, uses heavier bullets for long-range, precision shooting.
Built for the U.S. Navy's Mk 12 SPR and now coveted by snipers and designated marksmen using similar rifles, the Mk 262's 77-grain Sierra MatchKing projectile has a listed effective range of 600 yards, though it has certainly been put to use at longer ranges. It achieves velocities around 2,750 feet per second (fps) from 18-inch barrels and benefits from advanced propellants. Hornady loads a 75-grain hollowpoint boat-tail bullet in its .223 TAP line with similar specs.
Slower 1:7 twist rates are required to stabilize the heavier/longer bullets. Once they strike soft tissue, the bullets yaw and usually fragment to some degree, greatly increasing lethality over that of the more widely issued rounds like the M855 62-grain Penetrator or Green Tip. Serendipitously, the bigger bullets also perform quite well at close-quarters distances, when fired from short-barreled rifles like the Mk 18 (10.3-inch barrel) fielded by entry teams.
Shooters of all types have benefited from the military's extensive efforts to improve on the 5.56mm NATO round, and now we have ammo options that extend the range and increase accuracy and lethality.

Others, such as Laura Bush, have opted to stay out of the limelight. Mrs. Bush even lets the president speak for her when the couple is interviewed together.
Given Mrs. Bush's reticence on matters in general and politics in particular, I was quite amazed to find her advancing a uniquely tendentious opinion about the case of the late Terri Schiavo: "I just feel like the federal government has to be involved," she told reporters last Wednesday. "It is a life issue that really does require government to be involved."
Despite being a former librarian, it appears that Mrs. Bush has not bothered to read the United States Constitution, which clearly enumerates the separation of powers between the judiciary and the other two branches of government.
It was this cardinal principle of the American republic that Congress and President Bush willfully violated by passing legislation that infringed upon Mrs. Schiavo's fifth ammendment rights to due process, placing her case under the jurisdiction of federal rather than state courts.
Thankfully, the state courts themselves struck down the legislation less than 48 hours after it was signed.
This appears to be a textbook example of the Constitution's checks and balances in action: the executive and legislative branches were carried away by their own ideological fervor, and the judiciary served its constitutional purpose as the impassive, unswayable arbiter of the law.
Having read the Constitution myself, I was positively appalled to open the newspaper last Friday and read that lawmakers and pundits were not only unapologetic over Congress' shameless attempt to empower itself, but they were actually arguing that the courts had overstepped themselves.
House majority leader Tom DeLay, who allowed his own brain-damaged father to be taken off life support in the early 1980s, bellowed that the courts "Thumbed their nose at Congress and the president," and that "the time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today."
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, called the Schiavo case "A tragic, unfortunate but avoidable event that should awaken Americans to the problem of the courts. It is no longer theoretical. It is life or death."
When the majority leader of the House of Representatives makes statements which could be construed as death threats against the members of the judiciary, and opinion-makers call the proper functioning of the Constitutional process a "life or death 'problem,'" something is surely rotten in the state of America.
Thomas Jefferson wrote that "The republic is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind," but it seems these public figures wish to open hostilities.
It is a strange twist of fate that Terri Schiavo's legacy is a battle over the soul of our republic rather than a debate over something more germane, such as the right to die; however, that does not change the nature of the fight.
Any attempt by Congress to further legislate away any of the rights involved in the Schiavo case, especially the position and powers of the judiciary vis-à-vis its fellow branches of government, is not only unconstitutional, but dangerous. If DeLay and his compatriots live up to their rhetoric, they could critically endanger our republic.
Jefferson also wrote that "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and whatever one's opinion concerning Terri Schiavo's sad story, we must all take away an increased wariness over our elected representatives' willingness to tinker with the fundamental laws governing our country. If we do not, we may soon find ourselves living in an America we can no longer recognize as "the land of the free."

September's six matches saw Everton continue their Premier League campaign whilst also launching their charge in two cup competitions.
It was, in truth, a mixed month.
It began with a very good 2-1 win at Bolton, a game notable for Yakubu's first goal for Everton - just 11 minutes into his debut.
Nemanja Vidic's late header denied the Blues a point at home to Manchester United before unknown Ukrainians Metalist Kharkiv hit town.
The first round, first leg Uefa Cup tie had almost everything - including two red cards and two missed penalties - but ended 1-1.
A lacklustre 2-0 reverse at Aston Villa was swiftly followed by a 3-0 Carling Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.
Yakubu was on the scoresheet again, with James McFadden weighing in with the other two goals.
And the month ended on a positive note, a clinical Goodison performance securing a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough.
First Joleon Lescott scored his fourth goal of a prolific opening few months of the season.
Another new boy, Steven Pienaar, then registered his first goal in the Blue of Everton with the second goal.

Like the others I substituted chicken leg quarters as I could not find duck, but it was still fall-off-the-bone tender, and probably lower in fat for it as well. I also used spicy Italian chicken sausage and hopefully cut back on the fat even more. Apart from the meats being tender and delicious, these are by far the best beans I have ever eaten. I cooked dried beans most of the way in a crock pot and finished them in the dutch oven with the meats. They absorbed all the flavors and I could have eaten them by themselves! I'm not sure that this would be company-worthy but I will definitely make this again, hopefully with the duck next time.

I have made this dish many times and my family loves it. We have an uncommon cold snap today in sunny FLorida, and it just said cassoulet t me. I use the lamb, duck and bacon from the supermarket, although I do use boneless duck breast as my kids prefer it this way. I get garlic sausage at a local polish butcher. Fresh bread crumbs mixed with melted butter make all the difference in the topping. I love to serve this with a rustic crusty bread, crisp new green salad and good Pinot Noir. I recomend this dish for company, I divide it into individual caserole dishes before putting on the bread crumb topping and browning as this makes a nicer presentation.
bostonsmaman Posted: 01/28/09
Rich, flavorful, hearty and filling. This recipe does take a long time to make, so I "cheated" a bit and used a precooked duck quarter that I stuck in during the last hour of cooking. I did tuck 3 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs with the lamb, and it gave immense flavor. I actually couldn't tell the difference between the duck and chix thigh, so next time I'll save the $9. My next attempt will include a better sausage--spicy & garlicy. I used garlic chicken sausage, but it was too bland. I'd also like to try it from dried beans b/c hubby said they got mushy. This is an expensive meal, about $40 for the ingredients, but well worth it!
loveleigh98 Posted: 01/12/09
This recipe was a lot of work, but it was worth the effort and I would gladly make it again. Just not on a Monday! Subbed boneless skinless chicken thighs for the duck, and it was still good. Next time I will try pork in place of the lamb. My husband wants to try it with venison and duck. My picky 5 year old even ate it. I served it with shepherds bread and a salad.
Streets Posted: 01/10/09
We have always wanted to try a cassoulet, but thought it would be too time-consuming and not healthy. Finding it in Cooking Light convinced us to do it. It was outstanding! Yes, it has to cook all afternoon, but we had time to do some minor home improvements while occasionally checking it. The flavors are incredible - the meats are so succulent - it's comfort food at gourmet level.
MollyMc Posted: 03/13/09
This dish was wonderful, it was one of the best things I've made. Not as time consuming as I thought, i had chopped up the onion and bacon the night before, and had set out the ingredients to make it for a small dinner party the next night. I only used 4 duck legs, and used spicy chicken sausage instead of regular. I poured out all the fat from both the bacon and duck and omitted the oil. I also added 3 fresh thyme and parsley sprigs while the duck and lamb were cooking in the oven. THe beans were not mushy either-next time I will use fresh bread crumbs instead of store bought. Served it with a goatcheese, pistashio and beet salad, and made the lattice blueberry pie from this site. This dish is perfect for a winter get together and my guests all had seconds.
yessicasue Posted: 02/03/09
This recipe has great flavor. I could not find any duck at my regular market, so I used chicken thighs and it was excellent! For the sausage, the spicy Italian sausage recommended is awesome in this. This is worth the time it takes to make, and it is pretty simple, so don't be intimidated!! Also, there was enough left over to freeze for another meal, so it will save you from cooking dinner on a different night.
Reedster Posted: 03/02/09
Ditto on the 5 stars! We stayed "on recipe" as best we could, but had to cut the cooking time short since it smelled so good! We used duck this time but had trouble finding it so will try it with chicken next time as others suggested. Good wine pairing idea.
PaulMKE Posted: 01/27/10
Worth the labor. Very good. I made some honey, ginger, and organge juice glazed parsnips and carrots on the side which were very good
aalock7337 Posted: 02/06/10
This was a ton of work. It tasted okay overall but just not worth the amount of work (literally more than an hour and a half hands on cooking time) and cost (more than $50).

Back in 1988, I hung out for a summer in West Berlin. Yep, this was before the wall fell, when West Berlin was a roiling, hyperactive, neon-crazy island in a sea of Communist repression -- kind of like the most exclusive nightclub in the world.
One of the things that took my breath away: high school kids and college students went to clubs before school. At least the few I knew would met their friends around 5-6am at the all-night club du jour and dance it out for a while before heading to class. "This is the best place in the world!" I thought at the time.
Also: "Why can't we have this?" Well, now we kinda do. Welcome to San Francisco, Daybreaker.

Officials were upset because Risen's book, State of War, exposed what -- in his words -- "may have been one of the most reckless operations in the modern history of the CIA."
The book told of a bungled CIA attempt to set back Iran's nuclear program in 2000 by supplying the Iranian government with flawed blueprints for nuclear-bomb design. The CIA's tactic might have actually aided Iranian nuclear development. Read more »

BMW is preparing to launch a new version of its popular X5 SUV, the F15 Security Plus. To the casual observer, nothing is amiss with the X5, but to a firearm-wielding criminal bent on theft or worse, the F15 Security Plus is a rolling safehouse disguised as a BMW .
BMW will officially debut the armored X5 at the upcoming Moscow Auto Show next week, though the original concept made its first appearance in Frankfurt last year. The F15 Security Plus is designed to meet the VR6 protection level, meaning attacks from small arms fire like the AK-47, AR-15, and most hand guns will have no effect on the passenger's health (well, save for panic or heart attacks).
Ballistic panels and glass aren't the only modifications BMW has done to the F15. The chassis has been strengthened while the electronic management systems and brakes have been upgraded to deal with the added weight. Power comes from the twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V-8 making 445 horsepower and 480 pound feet of torque.
This isn't BMW's first in-house armored vehicle. The German automaker has been producing armored versions of its 7 Series for nearly two decades. Currently BMW is producing the VR7-rated 7 Series rated to protect against more lethal threats like explosives and higher-powered rifles.
BMW will also offer a lighter, VR4-rated X5 SUV for customers looking for basic protection but with minimal changes in vehicle driving dynamics. More details are slated for release once the vehicle debuts in Moscow.

India's Prime Minister praised the work of security forces in disputed Kashmir on Tuesday, in a show of support for troops that killed over 100 separatist protesters last year that risks angering those that resent India's large military presence in the state.
The remarks represent a seal of approval for security forces that are cited by many Kashmiris as an element of the violence, rather than the preventers of it, and come as a team of interlocutors enters its fifth month of talks in the troubled region, and almost two months after Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said that a political solution to the troubles was likely to emerge "in the next few months."
But can Manmohan Singh's praise for the "tremendous restraint" of Indian forces in Kashmir be applauded considering they have been responsible for the death of over 100 separatist protesters in months of violent clashes since last summer?
"It is really unfortunate and sad that despite tremendous restraint shown by the security forces, many young people died," Singh told a conference of state chief ministers in New Delhi on Tuesday. "As we meet today, the situation in the valley has improved."
Such rhetoric — regularly trotted out by New Delhi and military leaders — is reviled by many in Kashmir by those who resent the perceived heavy-handed treatment by India's security forces.

MADRID (AP) -- Athletic Bilbao followed up another emphatic victory over Manchester United with domestic defeat, the Basque team losing 3-0 to Valencia on Sunday thanks to a hat trick from Roberto Soldado.
Soldado exploited a fatigued Athletic team that showed little of the intensity and combination football that carried it to a pair of Europa League wins over the Premier League leaders in the past 10 days.
Ten-man Mallorca held on to beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 and inflict coach Diego Simeone's second defeat since taking over at the start of the year, while Xavi Torres' stoppage-time winner gave Levante a 1-0 victory over Villarreal, which fired coach Jose Molina after the loss.
Spanish leader Real Madrid plays Malaga later.

Other big names to look out for include Lucien Delfour, Rosalyn Lawrence, Robin Jeffery and William Forsythe.
A small international contingent will compete with Kiwi paddlers Michael Dawson and Luuka Jones out to try and spoil the Australians on their home course.
With Penrith set to stage the ICF Junior and U23 World Championships in April, next weekend's event will provide those athletes with one eye on the competition to hone their skills ahead of the highly anticipated international event.
Some of the athletes to watch out for include Tasmanian duo Daniel Watkins and Kate Eckhardt, New South Wales trio Joey Croft, Noemie Fox and Angus Thompson, Western Australian Brodie Crawford and Victorians Maggie Webster, Jaxon Merritt and Tim Anderson.

He has claimed election fraud.The recount follows certification Tuesday of the election by state canvassers who had to tabulate more than 24,000 write-in ballots for mayor. County officials deferred the certification to the state because city elections workers used numeric counts instead of hash marks to tabulate some of the write-ins.Write-in candidate Mike Duggan received the most votes for mayor, followed by Benny Napoleon.

411 Mania Interview: Director Jean-Jacques Annaud
Posted by
Tony Farinella
on 02.14.2013
411's Tony Farinella sits down with director Jean-Jacques Annaud (Two Brothers, Enemy At the Gates, Seven Years in Tibet) for an exclusive interview about his new film, Day of the Falcon!
Jean-Jacques Annaud is an esteemed director who has worked on such projects as Two Brothers, Enemy at the Gates, Seven Years in Tibet, The Bear, and The Name of the Rose. His newest film is called Day of the Falcon and it stars Antonio Banderas, Mark Strong, and Freida Pinto. It was a big project, without question, but as Jean-Jacques Annaud tells me in the interview, he has had the rare privilege to only make movies that he badly wanted to direct. In my interview with Jean-Jacques Annaud, we discussed Day of the Falcon, working with the cast in the film, working with Brad Pitt on Seven Years in Tibet, and a whole lot more. Day of the Falcon is now available on VOD and hits theaters on March 1, 2013. There is also a You Tube clip which includes the audio of the interview.
Is there something a film has to have, a certain quality, in order for you to attach yourself to it?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
First quality is I have to feel deeply for it. I have to feel that I have a cause and a personal enthusiasm. I had the rare privilege to make only movies that I badly wanted to do. Yes, this one, I wanted to make a positive movie about the Arab world. Living in France, very close to Africa, I have respect for this large Muslim population that has such a bad reputation. I felt depressed to see that there was only one sort of voice coming from our countries depicting those people as terrorists. Unfortunately for that population, they make the news with horrible attacks, horrible wars. It's a big shame because the population I know is quite different. They truly want democracy. It's almost bizarre to say those things. I wanted to have a different voice and it was a personal crusade to do something different and not to follow the preconceptions about the Muslim people and Arab world.
You have a very talented cast here with so many incredible actors. What's your approach as a director in dealing with them to get the best out of them in this atmosphere?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
That's quite easy. I have a sort of long tradition of mixing different nations. I love my multinational sets. Usually, we are like fifty different nations. There are people from Poland, Ethiopia, France, it's great because it's like being on a ship. When I direct those kind of units, I have the feeling that we are more united because we all belong to the movie. That is what we have in common and we're in the middle of the desert with all those people from those different nations. Actors are usually very, very happy to be with another group. Let me explain, when you take only actors from New York or let's say Chicago, they all know each other. There's no surprise. When you take an actor from Chicago and have him in India with an actor from Sri Lanka, there is excitement, there's discovery, and this is what I experience on my sets. It's usually a very, very pleasant experience.
On that movie, I definitely wanted to show what people don't know, which is that Arabia is not populated by a uniform style of people. There are people coming from Palestine, in the old days, from the Crusaders, blue eyes, there is people coming from India, a lot of people coming from Ethiopia, from next door in Africa and of course a lot of nomads from the Sahara from countries like Algeria, Indonesia, Spain, of course, which has been Muslim for seven centuries. I wanted that very badly. I was very happy to recreate that melting pot on my set.
When I was researching this interview, I noticed there seems to be a two to three year gap between projects. Do you find it hard to find films that bring out that excitement in you?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
No, it's very much like falling in love. I don't have the capacity to fall in love every year. The rhythm of every three years seems possible. I'm so committed that I have to spend a lot of time researching my movies, getting familiar with a civilization, with a period. After that, as I'm shooting in distant countries with units from different film culture, I have to train them very often those crews. It's a wonderful life experience and then I have also very long post production because most of the time I have to post synchronize my movies with my actors of course.
As I'm using a lot of visual special effects on screen, very noisy special effects, I have a long post production. I'm also a very hands-on director. I work on the screenplay for usually one year. I do all my research myself. I do all my scouting myself. I do all my casting, even for small parts, myself. For this movie, I went to Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, France, England and the states. So you see, that took time to travel, time to meet people, understanding them takes a long, long time. I'm pleased because each movie is a part of my life and it's part of me instead of just being a job.
You strike me as the kind of director that likes a challenge and likes to take on a challenge. Are there any challenges that you see in the future that you want to take on as a director?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
I'm shooting now. I'm leaving in a few days for China where I'm shooting one of the largest Chinese movies ever. It's based on a very, very fascinating book with political implications set during the cultural revolution in Mongolia.
I want to ask you about one of your previous projects:
Seven Years in Tibet
. Working with Brad Pitt, at that stage in his career, what was it like working with him and what has it been like seeing the success that he's had lately?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
He was already a very exciting actor. He was already extremely popular especially with young girls. When we met way before the shooting, I think we liked each other in terms of human relationship. It was one of the most pleasant relationships I've ever had with an actor. I still have wonderful memories and I adored Brad. He was such a wonderful friend and a man with such a beautiful heart. It was such a good experience for me. I hope it was the same for him (laughs).
In terms of what you get out of it personally and creatively, do you get something different out of it now than when you first started directing?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
No, it's still the same excitement. I'm almost amazed that each time I'm so excited. I'm like a kid, because there's a feeling of discovery of a new world of new civilization that I don't see the time going because it's so exciting. I think it's an immense privilege. I spend three years in the Arab world with people explaining to me the Quran and now I'm spending so much time in China. It's so fabulously exciting. A country that most people have a preconception about or they don't know what it is. I am fortunate to share the life of my Chinese friend and to almost be Chinese myself. I think it's wonderful. What kind of job could I have to get so much pleasure?
How do you quantify success? What makes a movie that you direct a success in your eyes?
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
I know only twenty years later. That may sound extravagant, but the lasting quality of a movie seems essential in my eyes. Making a movie that is a success for a week is not a great satisfaction. Frankly, what makes my life so happy is that in countries that I've never been in, people come to me and talk about movies that I've done years and years ago that are still on television. The way they speak about it, that's my reward. I don't need anything else to feel grateful about life. When I was a young director, I didn't know that some movies have a reputation and when they do get that reputation, it's the biggest compliment that you can get. It's much better than money. It gives you something deep in your heart.
Thank you so much for your time. It was really good talking to you. I appreciate it.
Jean-Jacques Annaud:
Thank you very much, Tony. Hope we meet one day.

"The textured paper makes these special and the clean design is perfect for my business which doesn't have a logo yet. Love them!"
"I was concerned that the typeface might be a bit small, but it all looks great. Very professional, and a bit swish also. I could not be happier."
"I loved the way my business cards came out. Unfortunately, the ones that were reprinted was an older version of the business cards. Any way I can get the newer version reprinted again? LMK next steps. Look forward to hearing from you soon, Melissa"
"I was super impressed with the weight of the cards stocked used. These are professional business cards, not like cards you get on free or highly discounted sites. I love the shape of them, so different! I was able to fit my first and last initial on the front of the card. They look great! The only issue I had with them is that the blue border on the back is supposed to go all the way to the edge. It looks like the cards were mechanically cut and some of the edges are peeling, showing the white underneath the blue. I won't be using those cards, but overall I am very happy!"
"The clean lines of the card's design, the sharpness of the lettering nd font used, the quality of the pearlized paper board stock, and the dimensions of the card all work extremely well together to make a superb card. Absolutely thrilled with it and will certainly order more and also a new design from tinyprints in the future."
