Dry-style stir-fried lamb is a Northern Chinese dish originating in Mongolia. It's primary flavor comes from cumin, soy sauce, and Sichuan peppercorns. It's musky, hot, and well, awesome.

I had assumed that the mixture of spinach and chickpeas was solely an Indian combination.

Hmmmmm... "Kid Mummy -- The Fastest Undead Gunslinger in the West!" Bring the mummy back to life through the traditional string of unlikely coincidences in a San Francisco penny arcade where he's on display, circa 1875. Send him up against supernatural threats -- make it a tongue-in-cheek "Seriously Weird Western Tales" sort of book.
It's a pity that the Three Stooges already used the mummy of King Rootin-Tootin, 'cause that would be ideal... Maybe I could go with the mummy of King Hutsutralston...

The Skinny On (Uncured) Beef Bacon
Beef bacon. It just sounds weird to say. Bacon as most of us know it comes from pigs and there's never really been a reason to question that. Before now, beef bacon has only been available through Halal Butchers (for the most part), although it's slowly creeping onto your local grocery store shelves. We took it for a test run this morning and as you might expect there are some differences!
For our morning test run we used not only beef bacon, but uncured beef bacon. This style of bacon hasn't gone through the curing process, where meat sits for 3 days in a brine of water and sugar and is then smoked. Because it hasn't gone through these steps, the bacon is less sweet and still retains its natural moisture. Normally this isn't really something to write home about, but cured beef bacon tends to be a little on the dry (although less fatty) and lackluster side (think thinner jerky without spices).
It's advertised as a healthier alternative to pork bacon with grassfed beef bacon being almost 90% lean. But like most things that are 90% lean, it can also be lean on taste as well. Although cured beef bacon is delicious in its own right (and still has less fat than pork due to the cut it's made from), if we're going to deviate from pork bacon (for other than health reasons), we stand by the idea of uncured vs. cured.
We cooked this morning's meat treat on the stove top, although next time we will be baking it instead. Since it still has all of its yummy fats and juices it can "spit" a little more than we prefer. Putting it on a cookie sheet in a pan with sides would have yielded perfect results for sure! It cooks up short and fat instead of long and skinny, but still had a good ratio of soft bits to crunchy, tasty bits!
The texture is more "meaty" than your average pork bacon. It feels like the main protien in a dish and doesn't really feel like something you would top a hamburger with, although we can see it used in combination with a lighter protein such as chicken or seafood. It would make killer BLT's however, which is where our morning left overs will be used up this afternoon.
We picked ours up at the local Whole
Paycheck Foods, but we've seen it around other grocers as well. It didn't run us anymore than pork bacon of the same quality. Next time you feel like trying something new, give beef bacon a whirl! Oh, and don't forget to use the drippings for your next salad!
Here's a few great recipes to give it a try in:

WOW. that sounds fantastic. I'm sure there will be plenty of haters, but really... it has to be better than turkey bacon!! and healthier? Oh god... now I need a BeefLT. those photos are intense.
Interesting. All the halal bacon I've seen has been made of chicken or turkey.
Wow, this is really interesting. Do you know from what cut this bacon actually comes? Is it still from the belly? Also, is it smoked like pork bacon is?
Great question Emma! Most often beef bacon is cut from either the brisket or the plate. Uncured bacon (no matter the animal) isn't smoked, while cured on the other hand is.
The smoking process is done for flavor, but more importantly to dry out the meat from the brine it was soaked in.
I honestly didn't miss the extra bit of smoke flavor, although an little bit more of it wouldn't have hurt!
Curing (bacon or otherwise) doesn't have to include smoking. It has more to do with the salt. You can make fresh bacon, for example, with a dry cure of salt, curing salt/prague powder (nitrite), and sugar. I'd highly recommend the Ruhlman/Polcyn book Charcuterie to anyone interested in learning more about curing.
I recently heard of this from my mom, as kosher households in the 50s and 60s used to eat this all the time. She never ever served it to me, though, and even allowed me to order normal bacon in diners, so I had no idea such a thing existed.
we've been eating this for YEARS.
gualtney (sp?) makes a version they sell at kroger.
ditto on the chicken/turkey version at halal shops michelle
I'm intrigued by this. As someone that believes that everything is better with bacon I feel compelled to expand my horizons. I agree that this must be better than the processed turkey strips that they call turkey bacon.
We have a month's worth of beef bacon in the freezer, thanks mom. My mother brings both turkey and beef bacon when she comes to visit from Philadelphia. The turkey is all gone due to my lovely husband donating a batch to my BIL. Granted we can get (halal) turkey bacon here in Lowell, but I don't know about beef. Beef bacon is so delicious with eggs and grits. Now I am getting hungry...
I love this bacon, has eaten it most of my adult life, however I relocated to West Mi, and can't find it anywhere!! Any ideas on stores that carry it in this area?
There is very good beef bacon developed by the department of agriculture, however it is cured exactly like regular bacon. some photos at www.beefbacon.net
the site has lots of info including a white paper report on beef bacon.

Would you share a hotel room with a total stranger?
That's the concept behind Easynest.com, a startup that connects solo travellers looking to save cash on hotel stays.
Here's the thing: hotel rates are based on double occupancy. Which is a win for couples but if you're flying solo, you pay a premium. That's where Easynest comes in. Instead of spending $40 on a stained bunk bed in some ratbag hostel (and instead of paying $80 for a whole hotel room to yourself), you can pay 40 bucks to get 1 of 2 beds in the $80 hotel room.
So you'll pay hostel prices but get more room and comfort (in theory). Easynest's slogan: "Share cost. Make friends."
Just pray you don't spend the night with, say, Heisenberg or Swimfan.

Posts tagged Tax cuts don't solve everything
Posts tagged Tax cuts don't solve everything
We've had 30 straight years of pretty much unabated tax cutting for the rich. And yet a random comment that perhaps the rich aren't actually undertaxed on Twitter gets me lots of angry retorts–from a lot of people I'd bet aren't rich themselves. The idea that 'you can't tax success' is ridiculous on its face: that's what we do every single time we pay income taxes. We certainly didn't manage to find a way to tax failure, or else Wall Street would be out of business.
Threatening to essentially tank the economy again if you are taxed is economic violence.
"Returning to the Scene of the Class War" by Sarah, on Feministe
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Tax the rich. Now.
When even conservative economists are calling for taxes to be raised on the rich, maybe it's about time. We're living in this delusional la-la land, where if Warren "El capitalismo espectacular" Buffett suggests raising taxes on the rich, he's a socialist. If the economy has hope of ever rebounding, spending cuts are not the only answer. We must also raise revenue. The
temporary Bush tax cuts must be allowed to expire.
The super-rich must not be allowed to hold the economy hostage any longer. One percent of the country cannot, logically, dangle the futures of the other 99% off of a cliff without an outcry… can they?
Former Sen. Alan Simpson told Lawrence O'Donnell it's time to "peel all the layers of the onion" and figure out just why people seem to listen intently to Grover Norquist.
In an interview on The Last Word tonight, Simpson noted that Norquist had challenged Republican Sen. Tom Coburn on a $6 billion cut on ethanol subsidies he had called "tax increases," which incensed Simpson greatly. "Grover and his happy band of warriors are trying to call that a tax increase– that's a damn lie and he knows it," he told O'Donnell. "And if he can get away with that, elect him President."
Simpson continued to question Norquist's power throughout the segment, arguing that "he can't kill you, he can't burn your house, he can defeat you in reelection," and if a public servant thought the latter was enough to obey him, they didn't deserve the spot.
He also told O'Donnell several times that "if Grover Norquist is more powerful than the President of the United States and the Congress, he should run for President" … On that note, Simpson called for an investigation. "Grover Norquist should be examined into– where does he get his money?" In times where people amass so much power, he argues, it becomes necessary to "peel all the layers of the onion." "Anytime anyone gets this powerful," he argued, "you want to dig in… who is he slave to?"
He clarified that he did not mean "salacious stuff and his personal life," but how Americans for Tax Reform operated and why so many people in Congress feared him, because based only on his status as leader of an anti-tax group, "you must be chicken if you fall for that crap."
I have a soft spot for former Sen. Alan Simpson. He's part of the Reagan era, yes, and that's where the accelerated sell-out of my generation began. However, he also has a streak of common-sense conservatism sorely lacking in the Republican Party. He's pro-gay rights (including marriage) and pro-choice, which puts him to the left of nearly every Republican out there.
I agree with Simpson. Let's find out where Grover's getting his bucks.
[Warren] Buffett compiled a data sheet of the men and women who work in his office. He had each of them make a fraction; the numerator was how much they paid in federal income tax and in payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the denominator was their taxable income…
It turned out that Mr. Buffett, with immense income from dividends and capital gains, paid far, far less as a fraction of his income than anyone else in his office. Further, in conversation it came up that Mr. Buffett doesn't use any tax planning at all. He just pays as the Internal Revenue Code requires. "How can this be fair?" he asked of how little he pays relative to his employees. "How can this be right?"
Even though I agreed with him, I warned that whenever someone tried to raise the issue, he or she was accused of fomenting class warfare. "There's class warfare, all right," Mr. Buffett said, "but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning."
Ben Stein, "In Class Warfare, Guess Which Class Is Winning?" The New York Times, November 26, 2006.
I'd like to point today's GOP to Mr. Buffett's nearly five year old quote, thank you very much.
Some perspective… look at the Bush-era tax cuts compared to everything else, including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
For affluent Americans outraged by the fiscal and social consequences of tax cuts handed to them by President George W. Bush and recently extended for two more years, a trio of similarly dismayed academics has furnished a way for them to put their money where their mouth is.
Their new website, giveitbackforjobs.org, invites high-income Americans to calculate the value of their tax cut under the extension and then pledge to donate that money directly to charities that the site says encourage "fairness, economic growth, and a vibrant middle class." The site doesn't accept contributions directly, but links users to those charities.
The site has been engineered to offer Americans who view the tax cuts as misguided a means to personally direct dollars toward countering the effects, while also registering a protest for broad policies that have exacerbated economic inequality.
"It's like civil disobedience," said Daniel Markovits, a professor at Yale Law School, and one of the three academics behind the initiative. "You're not committing a crime, but the government says, 'This is what you should give,' and you're saying, 'No, I should give more.'"
This just made me happy.
One year after electing a Tea Party candidate, one of the wealthiest counties in America is broke.
MINEOLA, N.Y. — Facing a huge budget deficit when he took office in January, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano did not impose a hiring freeze. He did not stop borrowing to subsidize some of the richest school districts in the country. He did not eliminate the Police Department's beloved mounted unit.
Instead, Mr. Mangano, a Republican who won one of the first upsets of the Tea Party era, did what he had promised: He cut taxes, adding $40 million to the county's deficit, which has since reached nearly $350 million.
Now, with its bonds suddenly downgraded and a state oversight agency preparing to seize its checkbook and credit cards, Nassau is on the verge of a full-fledged fiscal crisis.
Okay, so Nassau already had some problems, and the whole county isn't super rich, but seriously. How's that borrow-and-spend trickle-down economics working out for you guys?
Wow. Who would have thought that cutting taxes and bringing in less revenue wouldn't work? I'm looking at you, Colorado Springs.
(Source: starfieldcanvas, via greenstate)
By Felix Salmon
Stephen Culp has another striking chart today.
This chart should be ingrained in the mind of anybody who cares about fiscal policy. The main things to note:
- Federal taxes are the lowest in 60 years, which gives you a pretty good idea of why America's long-term debt ratios are a big problem. If the taxes reverted to somewhere near their historical mean, the problem would be solved at a stroke.
- Income taxes, in particular, both personal and corporate, are low and falling. That trend is not sustainable.
- Employment taxes, by contrast—the regressive bit of the fiscal structure—are bearing a large and increasing share of the brunt. Any time that somebody starts complaining about how the poor don't pay income tax, point them to this chart. Income taxes are just one part of the pie, and everybody with a job pays employment taxes.
- There aren't any wealth taxes, but the closest thing we've got—estate and gift taxes—have shrunk to zero, after contributing a non-negligible amount to the public fisc in earlier decades.
If you were structuring a tax code from scratch, it would look nothing like this. But the problem is that tax hikes seem to be politically impossible no matter which party is in power. And since any revamp of the tax code would involve tax hikes somewhere, I fear we're fiscally doomed.
Individual taxes have taken a dramatic dip, but I find the corporate tax structure flat-out offensive.

Bernie Sanders Defends Regular Americans | Disinformation
The Estate Tax (which was given an Orwellian rename by the Republicans as the "Death Tax") does and will not hurt you — unless it is abolished.
The Estate Tax affects only 3/10 of 1% of the richest Americans. We're not even talking about the wealthy here, we're talking about the OBSCENELY wealthy here.
To put this in context, if the Republicans get what they want, it would mean $30 BILLION in tax cuts for the Walton family (who own Walmart) alone.
So they barely pay their workers a living wage and abuse them in a hundred other ways, drive multiple small businesses out of the marketplace which are major drivers of economic growth in the country, and the Republicans in the Senate and an all-too compliant President Obama, want to rewards them for all that by giving them a tax cut that is more than the gross national product of some of the nations of the world.
For anyone to look at that and NOT think that is radically out of balance, is simply insane.
Click through to read more.
Read it. Please.
A liberal uprising over House procedures on Thursday was delaying a final vote on a far-reaching tax compromise brokered by the White House and Republican leaders.
Dozens of Democrats were demanding an opportunity to cast a vote to change an estate tax provision they view as too generous for the wealthy without also approving the rest of the package as passed by the Senate. That package contains a two-year extension of George W. Bush administration tax policies that benefit families at all income levels, including the very wealthiest Americans.
Democrats have complained for years about those provisions and want an opportunity to vote against them.
Senior Democrats said the delay was unlikely to derail the package, which is intended to prevent tax rates from rising in January for virtually every household.
House leaders initially proposed adding a third vote that would have permitted liberals to vote for the amended version but then vote against sending it back to the Senate for further action.
But after huddling with Democratic leaders on the House floor, Rep. Peter A. DeFazio (D-Ore.) said liberals were pushing for a new and broader amendment that would include changes to the estate tax, substitute the president's signature Making Work Pay tax credit for a two-percentage point reduction in the Social Security payroll tax and add a $250 bonus payment for Social Security recipients who are being denied a cost of living increase for the second year in a row.
And now they get a backbone? Well, better late than never…
Do not let Congress compromise with Obama. "The Compromise" is against everything the House Republican Leadership agreed to in the "Pledge to America." This type of behind closed door politics is not what "We the People" voted for in November. Read more…
Sign Tea Party Patriots' petition against "The Tax Deal" with Obama.
Don't allow Congress to Compromise with Obama.
So this is a weird oppositeland… It's now the "Obama Tax Compromise"
I think progressives should hijack this bitch and demand the removal of the Estate Tax compromise and capital gains compromise. Or something…
The math doesn't add up…
Filthy Republicans. You blackmailing piece of shit. You make me sick.
Yeah, this is how I see it…

Police: Fake trooper faces chargeAugust 27,2013READSBORO A Vermont man in an ongoing feud with his neighbor has been accused of leaving him a phone message in which he pretended to be a state trooper.
State police listened to the voice message left for 64-year-old Joseph Mangiacotti in Readsboro. They determined the caller was not a trooper.
They later traced it to 30-year-old Justin Gamache, his neighbor.
Gamache was arrested last week on a charge of impersonating a police officer.MORE IN This Just InFree lecture about Full StoryMIDDLEBURY — Operators of a holistic health center are planning a grand opening from 4 p.m. Full StoryCastleton State College present a production of the drama "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad...

Amber believes that ToGetHerThere Alabama will help girls in Chilton County and surrounding regions to achieve their greatest aspirations. She is also excited to watch people within the community come together to invest in underserved girls who are often overlooked.

Look! A Small-Space Antique
There's a little folding rocking chair that's been in the family longer than me. It's a design by Albert M. Lock & Son and it folds smoothly into a compact plane for storage. Unfolded, it's a comfortable and inviting chair...
I never really thought of it as a small-space solution, but now I'm considering putting the charming old chair to use in our little apartment. Do you have any antique pieces that were pioneers of today's small space solutions? (The rocker pictured here is not my family's, but is very similar. This one's from Canada's Archives and Collections Society).
1 Comment
I don't know if it's pioneer-like or even an old idea but I have a gorgeous folding chair step ladder.
It's dark wood and really pulls my living room together.

Putting together an outfit with a walking cane is an emerging fashion statement, while still being an age old function of utility. Here at Cane Walk we want your selections to fit in with your style and aid in your mobility.
One of the first decisions will have to be which type of material catches your eye. We stock wood, aluminum, acrylic, and carbon fiber canes. Each of these materials has unique qualities including strength, design, and comfort.
Our wooden selections tell the story of a natural, hand carved process that has existed for centuries. Each cane from our wood collection will help present a more down to earth style whether you choose one that is perfectly refined or one that still has its beauty marks. We use locally sourced woods and many are one of a kind works of art.
Our hiking sticks are handmade from one solid piece of wood. They are light weight to ensure you're focused on the natural beauty of the world and not your walking stick. All are finished to a glossy sheen to prevent weathering and have a leather strap included to keep it attached to your wrist. Most include a compass to help with navigation and all others can have one added for a small fee.
Our aluminum line has comfort in mind. Each one comes with an ultra soft cushioned handle to alleviate pressure on your hand, wrist, shoulder, and arm. Most are fully adjustable to ten different heights. Plus, many of the aluminum canes are designed with elegant patterns to add some jazz to any outfit.
The carbon fiber line has strength in mind. They're made from blending various resins and fibers together to create an incredibly lightweight and strong cane. Take a look through the carbon fiber line and you'll notice one of our newest products, the carbon fiber hiking sticks that weigh less than half a pound. While you're taking a look at the hiking sticks, take a quick peek at the LED illuminated handles.
Get your cane today to make sure your next walk is without limits.

What's in your handbag?
Feb 02/10 Jenn posted in Digital, Freebie, Hybrid, In My Handbag Challenge | 2 Comments »
Well, it is me here again…Jenn. We are starting a new challenge here at Sausan Designs….called In My Handbag. It is going to be sort of an eclectic mix of challenges that we will post every other Tuesday. Sylvie has a wonderful gift planned for the random winner – your choice of a free kit!!
This week we are exploring the hybrid Valentine. It doesn't have to involve much hybrid at all – you can do it all digital and then just print it out, sign it and send it to somebody you love!! Or you can cut, glue and stitch….it is up to you!!
We have some samples from our amazing Creative Team to get you started, but first want to point out some Sausan Design kits that are perfect for all your Valentine needs (and they are on sale too!!) Read to the end though, as we have some great free cards made from Sylvie's designs for you.
Some of my favorite Sausan Design kits will work perfectly for Valentine's Day. Cloud 7 is my huge favorite – that funky, hand-drawn plaid paper is just amazing.
Another great Valentine kit (an oldie, but goodie) is Valentino Valentina. The papers are so richly textured and the elements are timeless.
Another option is to go the QuickPage route… For the amazing kit My Little Heart, Sylvie has some gorgeous Quickpages that would make your Valentine a nice "love" book!!
Here are the papers and elements for My Little Heart, so you can add some pages to your Quickpage love book.
Also found a couple other element packs that work well for making Valentine's. How cute are these hand-drawn, hand-colored hearts. Sylvie has a great eye for colors and designs. Also, the pressed flowers are always timeless.
Ok, enough eye candy…now let's see what you can do with these amazing designs. Below are some samples from our Creative Team.
Polinka put together this beautiful card. I love that it is different from the traditional pink and red of Valentine's day. Beautiful work.
Lena put together these two gorgeous cards. Love all that cut paper on the first one. The second is just plain fun!!
Chengie made a couple very cute cards and she was kind enough to offer them to you. See these cards below and click here to download them. Thanks Chengie!!
After all that, seems crazy to add some more. I put together a couple Valentine's day cards, printed them out and added some stitching with my sewing machine. I sort of thought the ends of my flower stems looked a bit messy, but a friend was kind enough to point out that they seemed clumped with dirt. LOL!! Thanks, Nevermore!! Anyway, you can download my cards by clicking here.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this. When you get a chance, please play along with us. Please post your Valentine's creation sometime before Tuesday, February 16th to be eligible to win a free kit from Sausan Designs. You can post your creations in the In my Handbag Gallery at SausanDesigns.com. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday and a great Valentine's Day. We will be back in two weeks for the next "in my Handbag" challenge!!

By signing a plea agreement, a 20-year-old Fort Wayne man may avoid prison time for having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Michael Doucet, of the 9200 block of Blazing Woods Trail, pleaded guilty in Allen Superior Court on Friday to one count of sexual misconduct with a minor, according to court documents.
He was accused of having sex with the girl this past November when he was 19, according to the documents. Charged with two felony counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, Doucet entered a guilty plea to one of those counts.
In exchange, Allen County prosecutors recommend he be sentenced to a three-year suspended sentence and given four years of probation, according to court documents.
Doucet is scheduled to be sentenced at the end of the month.

Recent Internal Frame Backpack Reviews
Deuter ACT Lite 75+10
Comfortable adjustable pack that can adapt to haul a lot or a little. Quality construction with some thoughtful details. Weighs in at 4 lbs 5 oz, a good compromise between weight and haul-ability. Age and prior back injuries has made finding a backpack I could wear a difficult task. With the Deuter Act Lite 75+10, I finally found a pack that I could not only carry but was comfortable also. For me, the key was to find a pack that did not put any pressure directly on my spine. The "air contact" system… Full review
Blackhawk! Barrage Hydration Pack
A heavy-duty "military style" 3-day pack that is designed to last forever, no matter what you do with it. Although BlackHawk! categorizes it as a hydration pack, I believe the hydration bladder is a small portion of this pack. I purchased this pack prior to a deployment overseas in 2008 and it still looks brand new today. In between being an every day carry item thru Kuwait and Afghanistan, it has also been used as a day pack for hikes and hunting. As well as a great commuter bag and travel bag. … Full review
Osprey Volt 75
Great fit without a lot of weight. I would definitely recommend this backpack for anyone doing a 3-4 night outing. Just purchased this pack in July 2014. Have used it 4 times in the Adirondacks of NY and AT in NJ and Maine. I bought it for the lesser pack weight of 3lbs 12oz vs my other, older Osprey pack. This is a one-size-fits-all pack with an adjustable stay system that I really liked, especially if you're an in-between size like me. It carries 4,700 cu, so I did have to choose my gear wisely… Full review
Osprey Talon 44
Great transitional bag! I'm 5'11" with a slender build @ 162 lbs. I bought the bag at the beginning of the 2014 spring season with the intent of doing lightweight trips up to 5 nights. On a 1-2 night cool-weather trip, I carry 27 lbs of gear (including a full 3 liter hydration bladder and 1 change of clothes), minus food. For longer cool weather trips, an additional change of clothes and larger fuel bottle brings it to 30 lbs of gear, minus food. The bag handles this very well, is light, quite… Full review
GoLite Jam 50L
Solid entry into backpacking with less weight, more miles and more fun. If you're wanting to go lighter but aren't ready to commit lots of money to a specialized pack, go for this pack. Fit: 35" waist and got a large; this will put you at the end of the belt straps — lose any weight and belt won't be as tight (just a note) 19.5" back measurement (iirc); length is fine on the large Comfort: hip belt padded appropriately; no rough spots shoulder straps padded appropriately; no digging/pinching/etc… Full review
Teton Sports Scout 3400
Great quality pack with lots of pockets and loops. I purchased this backpack about 1 years ago, used it so much. On trips I carried food, a tent, a sleeping bag, sleeping pad and clothes for three days without a problem. I'm content with this product. Full review
Berghaus Expedition Light 80
The Berghaus Expedition Light 80 is a large capacity pack with a lightweight design. It has a surprisingly supportive suspension system which provides comfort in the hips and shoulders. It has a low, stable profile, even while strapping everything from skis to my dog's pack to the outside. It can be warm during hot days. I would recommended the Expedition Light to backpackers and mountaineers looking for a large capacity pack that is functional with heavy loads in the 50 plus pound range all seasons… Full review
Lowe Alpine Vision 40
A 1-2 night fast and light pack. I am 5'11" 190 and this pack has fit me very well, it is somewhat adjustable. The hip belts and shoulder straps are very well padded with and the padding has stood up well over time. I think it truly holds 40L, but is 40L enough for a reasonable amount of gear? If you want to get more than a day hike out of this pack you will have to be very selective about your gear selection for the sake of eliminating bulk. I do believe that you could comfortable carry 35-40lbs… Full review
High Sierra Col 35
Reasonably priced, reasonably spacious, reasonably usable. This is a reasonably priced entry pack. It fits well enough, carries enough, and is simple enough to be useful to almost anyone that gets it. The fact that it's a mere two pockets makes it impossible to get confused where stuff is, but you need to have some method of organizing smaller items or they will be lost without unpacking the entire thing. The main pocket is pretty cavernous for a 35 liter pack and can swallow a surprising amount… Full review

(I don't know what this is but I'm not trying to make sense anymore…)
The girl ran away from the Devil, and towards the sun; but the sun was cold and ran faster than her. She was left with the night and stopped running. She turned around and apologized to the Devil. Perhaps he could have taught her a thing or two as well. Like, how to shout louder, and how to let go. Hell is warm of its own warmth, even in winter. To her frozen heart, that thought looked like a chance. Like the possibility of happiness. Like your lover's hoodie when you're naked the morning after. She felt naked, and cold, and with a card left for her on the bedside. A card without a name, that said thank you, and meant goodbye.
knots and knots and twists
and intricate contortions
and tied-up turmoil
and oh god where shall I begin
where can I begin
to unravel these thoughts
and put them in order
any order
and make sense
at least to me
of this disorder
it's my disorder
and so unknown
I feel it here
behind my eyes
just in my stomach
(all a mess)
and I can't hold in my hands
the sense
and it's behind my eyes
and it's everywhere
but I can't understand
and it leaves me wordless
Redeem me
consume me with my own tears
Free my heart from a body
that doesn't listen to its beat;
lay it on the ground,
may a tree be my tombstone
so that my blood could finally be
become one with life
(or will it paint the leaves red
and make them too die?)
I am trying… there are just so many pieces everywhere….

My Mind Likes To Linger Over Missed Chances
Fragments of defeated nights
colour my dreams with thorny flowers.
The wind alone will carry
the petals and whisper their secrets,
bedtime stories will never know.
Shards of possibilities
broken by the rising sun
cover my bed like thoughts and dewdrops.
Her smile donated the seed
of a future that will never bloom.
Words carried on paper planes
to dissolve under the rain
like the voice you choked…
A puppet you left without
strings and scripts and parts to play;
I danced like you told me to
when we left you went your way
You were nobody, I just…
lost your smile and some more hope.

Montana Senate Committee Unanimously Votes to Approve Anti-NDAA BillSaturday, March 30, 2013 at 12:22 pm by BORDC Staff
This post was written by Nick Sibilla, a BORDC summer 2012 intern.
This Wednesday, March 27, the Montana Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12-0 in favor of HB 522, which bans indefinite detention under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012 within the state of Montana.
Last month, the Montana state house voted 98-0 to prohibit state cooperation with federal officials who attempt to detain individuals within Montana under Sections 1021 or 1022 of the NDAA. The bill now heads to the Senate floor for a full vote, which may occur as early as next week.
Supporters of the bill are very diverse, including the ACLU, the Tenth Amendment Center, Oath Keepers, and BORDC. When the bill was heard in committee last week, no objections were raised.
Montana is just one of many jurisdictions that are rising up to counter the NDAA's detention provisions. Bills aiming to restore Due Process have passed the state house in New Hampshire, as well as the state senates in Indiana, South Carolina, and Michigan, all by large margins. Meanwhile, another dozen states are still considering restoring due process.
Most recently, Las Vegas passed a resolution condemning the NDAA.

Atkinson County High School Reviews
If you really want to know what a school is like, ask the students. But don't ask the ones that are failing, they will blame everybody else. Don't ask the staight "A" students they will love it. Ask the students who show up day after day, and do as well as they can. Their the ones that will tell you what the school is really like.
And from a teacher's perspective, I can tell you that I have taught at a few schools, and this one by far is the best. Yes, it is small, and that's a good thing.

Alumni Connections: School of Public Affairs, October 2011
Every day I interact with prospective students, current students, both graduate and undergraduate, tenure track professors, instructors, citizens. Each one of these individuals brings a new idea to me to think about.
Last week a prospective student with an undergraduate degree in engineering talked to me about how a master's in public administration could benefit civil engineers as they worked with municipalities. Not long after that a student talked with me about a class and how its focus needed to be changed because of the impact of the internet on government. An instructor chats with me regularly about online learning and if it is a viable way to teach people who will be going into public service. A professor walked through my area and handed me an article and added, "This might interest you." And it did! The article was The Founding Fathers, Unzipped by Simon Schama. The article begins "The Constitution's framers were flawed like today's politicians, so it's high time we stop embalming them in infallibility." The article is about leadership and history and human beings. The School of Public Affairs and the people who are teaching and learning about public service are the nation's leaders and by being leaders the makers of our future's history. It is exciting to be right in the middle of this!

A nervous man in a long dark coat and wide brimmed hat walks past on a tangent that runs parallel to the path that we, either side of this fallen tree make, yet he is walking in a direction perpendicular to the one the timber tube is lying in.

New stories about the death book stores (and books, for that matter) pop up all the time, but rare is the long-lasting success story. We're lucky to have one in our city, at Charis Books and More the little lavender mainstay off Moreland Avenue in Little Five Points.
The feminist book store and Charis Circle, a non-profit programming arm, will celebrate the store's 35th year in business next month with readings, discussions and sales. The story has regular workshops and events, too, but I tend to spend my hours there browsing the bookshelves.
It's not easy for Charis or any book store in those decades. A quick peek through the AJC archives revealed half a dozen Charis-centered "local bookshop beats the odds" stories over the years, detailing the store's struggles to stay open.
The good news is that it has, so far. Seems like a reason to party. Here's how:
7-9 p.m. Nov. 4: Atlanta Queer Literary Festival and Charis Birthday Kick-off Reception features performances by local poets, including emcee Lisa Allender, Malika, Krystal Tift, Alice Teeter, Louisa Merchant, Sharon Saunders, Sincere, Charlene Ball and Libby Ware.

7:30 p.m. Nov. 5: "Founding the Future: A Conversation with Beverly Guy Sheftall and Gloria Steinem," will be moderated by Alexis Pauline Gumbs. $35-$100. Georgia Tech Hotel, 800 Spring St. N.W., Atlanta.

Amid the nonstop chatter of college sports recruitment, this one went pretty much unnoticed earlier this season.
But given that Harvard just qualified for the NCAA basketball tournament and the excitement about Knicks rookie point guard Jeremy Lin, it's worth noting (for those who missed it when the news broke a few months back) that the point guard on Minnesota's No. 1 ranked big-school team has committed to the Crimson.
Siyani Chambers made the call before the start of the current season.
When he committed, the sports blog of the Harvard Crimson, quoted CBSsports.com hoops guy Jeff Borzello as saying that Chambers "knows how to move the ball, he's getting better on his shot. I think he's a really solid point guard, and he would be a good fit for Harvard.
"He could run the show for four years."
Chambers is averaging about 17 points per game for Hopkins, which beat Southwest 105-45 in the first game of the Section 6AAAA playoffs and now meets Wayzata at 6 p.m. Friday at Osseo High School.
Here are highlights from the Hopkins-Southwest game, including an interview with Chambers (No. 4) at the end.
Hopkins has given high school basketball fans reasons to root against the Royals over the years and to mock their success. That overlooks players like Gophers grad Blake Hoffarber and Trent Lockett, now at Arizona State, who are classy people on and off the court.
Chambers is an excellent bet to continue the best of the Hopkins tradition.
