PLAYERS: Steven Jackson
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
According to Dan Arkush of ProFootballWeekly.com, it's continuing to looking like Rams running back Steven Jackson won't be back in St. Louis next season. The way we hear it, the odds that longtime offensive centerpiece Steven Jackson will remain with the Rams after this season have dropped below 50 percent. "There's no way I see anybody being willing to pay him $7 million a year for sure," said one team insider of Jackson, who was granted an unusual opt-out of his contract after this season by executive V.P. of football operations/COO Kevin Demoff, who does not believe in artificially binding players who might have value on the free-agent market. "Maybe if they can land him on the rebound (from whatever free-agent offers he might entertain) at a cheaper price, he could be back." I believe it makes the most sense for the Rams to move on from Jackson. They could save the money that they would pay him and upgrade their offensive line.

Last week I was lucky enough to get to go to Los Angeles to shoot the tour poster for the highly exciting announcement that Kimbra and Janelle Monae are performing together in a show called The Golden Electric across Australia and New Zealand. It was a challenging and inspiring day of shooting where lots of creatives had to come together to workshop something cool in a tight amount of time! Here is a final look at the poster art!
|The final poster featuring Janelle Monae and Kimbra
Lauren McCowan did Kimbra's hair and makeup - and her playsuit is from Gail Sorronda's new collection Mermaids Exist. Jessie Sara English did all the production and Shayan Asgharnia was my photographic assistant. It was a great day. You should check out the video as well below shot by director Alan Ferguson - who is such a lovely guy. The footage is a great introduction to what you'll expect from the tour! A massive thanks to the team at Sonic Fuel Studios where we shot and recorded the entire piece - they were so helpful and accommodating I would recommend them to everyone!
I'd book my tickets now if I were you via live nation!

Dear Straight Talk: I'm 16, hoping for a fresh start at a new high school after leaving my old one because I was being bullied. I'm pretty small for a guy and not very athletic. I mostly seemed to make friends with girls at my other school, which made everyone think I was gay, even though I'm not. Being picked on made me socially awkward at school, though I'm not socially awkward ordinarily and wasn't before high school. I'm paranoid about being a target at the new school. What should I do to start off on the right foot? — "Gary" in California
Sarah, 16, Monclova, Ohio: People can be so mean. The boys soccer team started a rumor that I'm lesbian because I've never been kissed. I was really hurt at first, but I decided not to let it ruin my high school experience and I'm much happier now.

Why Some Women Sleep with Married Men
Why does a woman choose to sleep with a married man? The answer may surprise you.
Dr. Michelle Golland: Some women sleep with married men because they most likely have been "mean girls" for a long time. These mean-girl man-stealers do not understand the bond of true sisterhood, and may have trouble with establishing or sustaining authentic female relationships because it is probably hard to find a nice girlfriend who would support their home-wrecking ways.
Such a woman may not have ever gotten enough attention from her father, and craves male attention at all costs. The fact that she can get a married man to stray from his wife may also feed her insecure ego, because she inherently feels in competition with other women. Which, in her twisted logic, means that getting him to stray places her as the winner and the wife as the loser. What she has really done, however, is lose big-time -- she has lost her self-respect.
The mistress probably likes the thrill of the hunt and feels her self-esteem boosted at the thought that a man would risk so much to be with her. She may like the drama and illicit experience too. I predict, however, that the mistress also feels comfortable being the victim, because ultimately, at least most of the time, she gets lied to and cheated on herself in the end. She winds up crying alone because her romantic life has been a secret, or she simply doesn't have any friends to cry to. It becomes a sad cycle of false hope fueled by desperation and desire, while being led on by a married man who himself obviously has a host of his own issues and demons he hasn't faced.
The high of being with a married man also extends the illusion of the "Romantic Love" experience for such a woman. She is pursued, desired passionately, and the possibility of an amazing future seems almost available. "Almost" is the key word, because the married man is lying to her in order to keep the emotional and sexual attention coming (no pun intended). But 90% of the time, the cheating man knows that even the illusion of "Romantic Love" is just that -- an illusion. It is mostly hot sex and emotional attention with no strings.
As the woman willing to be a mistress, you must have been hurt by a man and have real trust issues. By being the one who is cheated with, you have a false belief that you are in control of things, and that at least you are not being "cheated" on. You choose to believe that he doesn't "love" his wife and he really wants to be with you, so it seems safer to you than being in an authentic, honest relationship with a man who is actually available. You unconsciously fear being truly vulnerable with a man, so you collude in the cheating to avoid really being vulnerable and trusting a man.
You mistake him wanting your body sexually for love. It is not and will not ever be the same. He may love how you make him feel, and love that you allow him to not focus on the reality of his life, but remember you are not actually in his reality -- you are a part of an illusion. This illusion of his will most likely fade due to age or interest, and he will either move onto another newer and hotter illusion, or he may man up and deal with the problems in his "real" relationship with his wife.
As a marriage and relationship expert, I am always hoping he will man up, especially when there are children involved. With my female clients who have cheated with married men, I have learned that deep down they actually do want more for themselves, and also desperately believed the illusion they chose to live because they themselves felt so unworthy of an honest, connected, healthy relationship.

Beautifully written article! I have a few friends who I love dearly. Both are them are so blind to their man's cheating ways. Their men lie to them everytime their lips are moving. I can't bear that their mans lies are so easily believed by each of them. They don't check up,investigate or even have any clue as to what the red flags they are denying are really saying. I have no respect for any man that doesn't "man up" to his cheating. It proves that he doesn't want to stop, he just doesn't want to be found out.
I have to say that this entire article is pretty much the truth. However, as a single woman, I have learned that women can be pretty nasty to their "sisters". Personally, after years of having many, very close friendships then relocating and trying through the normal avenues to meet other females for friendship, I have found few. I've heard some of the untrue things that have been said and how (jealousy??) will make people degrade others with no shame. That said, after awhile, you give up and look for just about any way to "cure" the loneliness. Unfortunately, men, married or not, are the first to offer companionship, whether it's real or not, sometimes, it's better than nothing. And yes, when friendship becomes so hard to find, self-esteem gets very, very low.
Good article!
Or maybe she just thinks he's going to be good in bed & she doesn't want a commitment. Maybe sometimes it's just that simple.
Many mens think that it is their god given right to cheat. They really act like that it is ok for them to do this and the wife or girlfriend don't or better not even say anything about it. It is so hard to put the trust back into the relationship once it is broken. My story is I have been married for over 10 years and now my anniversary is coming up again. My husband cheated on me once he got a promotion at work he lied time and time again I mean really every breathe that he took was a lie. There have been many confrontations between me and him I found his bank statements showing that he spent a large amount of money on her every time he got paid which was every two weeks. He took her to the hotels and any where else he wanted to go. Me and the children have been hurt and neglected by his cheating ways. The children always talk bad about their daddy when he is not around but talk good about him when he is here. They don't understand why he cheated all they want is for our family to be back together. My son even told me that he wanted to take a bat and beat the crap out of him and her for destroying our family. I know violence do not solve anything but I tried to tell him that this is my problem not theirs. I had to comfort the children on several occassions and they comforted me for the whole time during our seperation. They was hurt by his lies and betrayals more than I thought. He told me that the children do not understand what is going on because of their ages which is under the age of 12 and a little older than 3. But I told him that they do understand what is going on with his betrayal.
He said the reason why he cheated was because I would not give him any and I kepted telling him no. I told him that I was tired. I have been working 2 jobs and trying to raise kids and running every where for him so I was tired so he went to his job and slept with the married woman. She used him for everything what he was worth and wasn't worth. Her husband and her is sitting back laughing at my stupid husband because they don't have to spend money or pay bills because my husband is doing it all for them. I have called her husband and we was suppose to be meeting and discuss the rest of the details. Her husband do not care what she do as long as he do not have to spend any of his money on her. All I am trying to do is keep my self together and my family so where is my justice from this cheating fool and players. When will I be able to find me a man that I can trust and love. I am not looking for another father for my children but a partner that will grow old with me.
I dated a guy for 4 months and found out he was married. He lied to me. Hindsight was 20/20 and there were some signs. However, I did ask why he was single, why we wasn't married, etc? He always told me he was single. As soon as I found out he was married, I gave him hell and kicked him to the curb.
I learned a lot from this. I don't think I'm a bad person nor a mistress. I would've NEVER EVER touched him if he was married. Married men aren't my thing.
Not all "other women" are bad people. I'm just as much of a victim of his lies as his wife.
I have to disagree with some of this article. I am 45 and divorced for the last eight months. I have two grown children. I've been a "mistress" to a 58 year old married, professional man for the last six months. I am also in a professional position. I do not hate other women, I do not hate his wife in any way. I am in full understanding of my position in this relationship. We are confidantes to each other and we even talk of his wife and family. I know he loves her and his family. He also loves me in his own way. He was there for me in the early days of my marital separation and has provided me with very generous financial support. He also has paid for me and my daughter to go to Europe this summer while he's out the country on a vacation with his wife. To put in succinctly? THE SEX IS AWESOME, there I said it. My marriage was horrendous, my husband had a porn addiction and an erectile issue he refused to get treated. I haven't had such good regular sex in longer than I care to remember. I am thoroughly enjoying the time I spend with him. He calls me everyday and we meet at least weekly, or more if his wife is out of town. I did not pursue him, he pursued me. I do not feel bad, or guilty or mentally ill. I do not feel like I'm hurting his wife. He has a very high pressure job and has been married to the same woman for well over thirty years. He has provided his wife and family with a very comfortable life style. I was not his first mistress and I've known him peripherally for almost 25 years. As far as finding a single man? My options are extremely limited as I live in a small rural area. I need to stay for the timebeing as my daughter is going off to college. He also wants to pay for me to get an advanced degree in my field. I'll never regret this relationship.
I am in love with a girl who is currently, shall we say, "Distracted" by an affair of this nature. I must say it is very painful.
This isn't some sort of puppy love thing with her, but rather a fairly significant spiritual and emotional connection. So long as she is immersed in this affair, however, whatever would she need me for?
Knowing her as I do, I believe that I could probably provide a relationship that is loving and supportive and fulfilling on many levels.
But because she is living in this fantasy, and it is little more than that, aside from the emotional damage it's going to eventually do to her, I can't get the time of day.
So you see it's not just the individuals in question whose lives are affected, it's those of us on the periphery as well. A cheating male has in effect taken two females out of the available pool of potential mates, and that short changes everyone.
Then of course there's who whole circle of impact that emanates out from these little affairs that ultimately involves the courts, broken children, theraputic services, insurance for same, etc, etc, etc. Essentially the very social fabric we live in feels the ripple effect.
Perhaps that's why society at large puts value on things like the sanctity of marriage and keeping ones word. Perhaps some thousands of years of human evolution and lessons learned the hard way speak to this as well.
These people, both parties, play very selfish and childish games and everyone in some way or another feels the pain or bears the burden of it in some way.
The mistresses in many ways I find pitiable. The men I find beneath contempt.
If he can't keep his word to a woman who trusted him enough to forsake all others, who will he with?
He's not someone I can trust to have my back in combat (where I have spent many years). A harder bottom line than most people, but there are thousands of us now who see things through that prism. It's the ultimate acid test.
In that respect, this is not some archaic moral stand.
Regards women who cheat. Same is same.
So, ultimately I say, if you're married and it's not all you think it could or should be, then either do something about it or together, like a couple of adults, come to some means of ending the relationship in a way that doesn't create too large a blast area.
Then you can go out and screw your wait staff…
(which I won't even go into the whole senior / subordinate aspect of that social dynamic)
your article typically vilifies the woman who sleeps with a married man regardless of the circumstances that can lead to that coupling. i expected a more scientifically behaviorally-based and a little more unbiased evaluation of why affairs occur from someone with your scholastic credentials.
during the course of my own marriage, i met a married man. we were both receptive to the idea of getting to know each other better because of circumstances within our individual relationships. affairs dont just "happen". they are a function of curiosity, condition and receptivity.
in my case, i ended up leaving my husband and my married man left his wife. we are now together, and have been, for a few years now and cant be happier. we just happened to have married the people that werent right for us when compared to what we could be to each other. it happens. and it doesnt mean anyone is a villain or a victim.
This article is full of generalizations that sound like they are coming from someone who hates women who sleep with married men and has no clue why they would do such a thing. Maybe the author has experienced a cheating husband and is letting that experience speak instead of actual research.
Sometimes, marriages fall apart and people get hurt. Sometimes the "wife" is not a good wife and is to partly or even fully to blame for a bad relationship. Sometimes the "mistress" is not evil, and is actually a much better match for the husband. Sometimes the cheating husband is genuinely unhappy with his relationship with his wife and finds someone better. So it goes. I wouldn't wish a crappy relationship for eternity on anyone. Some marriages just shouldn't last forever. Maybe more often it is simple explanations like these that are the likeliest scenarios, and less so the tired "mistresses must be horrible people" nonsense.
If your marriage isn't working, do the decent thing and end it. Don't have an affair. Don't stay together 'for the kids', because you're setting an example of dysfunction for them to follow.
If you're attracted to someone else, and your marriage is ending, do the decent thing and be honest with your spouse. Too many "innocent affairs" have turned into ugly divorces.
Your kids are smarter than you know, and they will figure it out faster than you think. Do you really want to set that example for them?
why do we have to overthink everything? I slept with a married man once. It had nothing to do with low self-esteem or jealousy. i wanted sex and have found that men (like women) will say they're ok with that and then end up wanting more. I knew i didn't have to worry about that with a married man.
I was also young and self-centered and have thankfully outgrown such behavior.
I'm sorry, but this is a bad article, and I agree with the few others who have noticed that it is a very biased take on mistresses, delivered in a very subjective manner. As a therapist/scientist, I'm surprised that you have let personal feelings tinge your article.
To make sweeping statements such as mistresses having trust issues, or being attention seekers is plain wrong. There are mistresses and mistress-wannabees. Real, smart mistresses are those who will actually through their actions try their best to keep a man's marriage together. She is discreet to a fault, emotionally secure and understands her role as a lover and confidante. Often a mistress will be well-looked after by the man in return and when this is the case, she of course won't rock the boat because that messes up the happy balance she has attained with her male lover. It is not a situation for everyone and to pull it off successfully, you have to be a person who is trustworthy, strong-willed and above all realistic! Not everyone is like this though and this is where the stereotypical loud-mouthed 'mistress' who doesn't get her way and tells all comes from. Don't let that fool you that all mistresses are like that. Fact is, if she's doing things right you won't even know she exists.
What many married women don't realise is that real mistresses dont want to steal their men AT ALL and most men don't want to leave their wives either!!! When a man is married for a long time to someone who does/can not fulfil his needs at one point, he may turn to a source of escapism for release. If it's a mistress, she can offer him that time away to think, vent, relax which can mean he returns to the family home with a burden lifted off his shoulders (often meaning less stress for the wife too). It may be a preferable alternative to a man who just ups and walks out of the family home because he is upset. Think about it.
I am a Mistress although when I read the last comment I have realized I am not the best of one. I am trust worthy and wont ever tell and I am discreet. Unfortunately, Yes I really like him. Many times I want him around more and hate myself for what I have done to me. I am faced with the fact he is married every day as I see them together. I wonder to myself what is it with me that I settle for this kind of relationship. Then I remember that its not a relationship at all. On top of that I feel like his world. Only to be slapped in the face when I see them and realize I am nothing. I feel so close yet so far away. It is killing me that I have stooped so low for a false feeling.
For the record…I think man and mistress are both completely untrustworthy. Man because he's sneaking around and lying and mistress because she's betraying a sister and being delusional or a sexual predator.
this article is very judgmental. Many women who sleep with a married men ARE NOT looking for romance, they are looking for sex with someone who hopefully won't ever have feelings for them. and yes i was "the other girl"before and I am not insecure AT ALL whatsoever. i just don't want a relationship, I want sex. And many married/taken guys do not get sex enough, so why not help them out? In fact, I have actually saved a marriage before b/c the man was about to get a divorce b/c of how rarely he had sex. The key is just to not develop feelings for the guy which is hard for many women to do but i can do that very easily.
Anyone who's just looking for sex can get it from a single, available man. Good sex is not a justification for victimizing someone else, for lying, cheating and treating your fellow human beings in a way that you would never want to be treated yourself. While some of the people who commented here are willing to rationalize away bad behavior, it doesn't change the fact that helping someone cheat is wrong. That's why most people, even when they understand why someone cheated or became the "other woman" don't respect those who assume these roles. Of course, not all these people deserve condemnation, but they also don't deserve respect.
There is apparently a bundle to know about this. I believe you made some nice points in features also.

The UFC on Fox Sports 1: Shogun vs. Sonnen fight card slated for Aug. 17 in Boston will move forward as planned after UFC officials avoided disaster due to Massachusetts' requirement for all fighters to have a social security number in order to compete.
The requirement nearly tripped up several foreign fighters on the card since they would not normally have a social security number.
More MMA
UFC officials worked overtime, however, to make sure that the fight card will move forward as planned, according to a Boston Herald report.
Fighters that enter the U.S. with a valid visa can apply for a social security number. It's a time consuming process, but the UFC worked with the proper authorities to make it happen.
"We ended up getting everything straightened out. The fights will happen. The card will be great. It's going to be good," UFC president Dana White told the Boston Herald.
"There's always something. It literally never ends. There's always something, something that pops up or whatever. We're pretty used to dealing with this stuff."
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Chael Sonnen headlines the UFC on Fox Sports 1 #1 fight card, which also serves as prime time programming for the launch of the new Fox Sports 1 network.

This card is sick. I really hope it stays injury free.
I feel like they might be putting too much in to these Fox Sports cards at the cost of the PPV's. The last couple PPV's and the upcoming few are kinda weak…you have a fan fest ppv card with only 5 televised fights, then a free fox sports card with 10 televised fights? Kinda lopsided if you ask me
Is it true alot of cable subscribers wont get Fox Sports without having one of the higher channel packages?
Are you complaining too many good fights are being shown for free? o_0
And satellite tv is totally the way to go.
I totally agree with you about satelite. Im just curious about how many people are not able to actually watch these fights.
I know alot of local bars wont show free fights because they can't charge cover for a free fight like they do the PPV's.
They very well might be over extending themselves. Lately I have only liked two maybe three fights on the ppv's and this card here is just stacked with pretty much every fight IMO. I have heard that rumor as well about the Fox Sports package but I'm not sure.
Exactly. Despite what everyone thinks…PPV dollars are by far the biggest earner for UFC and shorting the PPV's to be able to put on a couple overly stacked free cards doesn't make much financial sense to me. I've ordered half as many fight cards this year as I did through this time last year because of all these stacked free cards.
The social makes them subject to US income taxes, I assume. Uncle Sam wants a piece of these foreigners!

Strategic Investment in International Gas-Transport Systems: A Dynamic Analysis of the Hold-up Problem
AbstractWe develop a dynamic model of strategic investment in a transnational pipeline system. In the absence of international contract enforcement, countries may distort investment in order to increase their bargaining power, resulting in overinvestment in expensive and underinvestment in cheap pipelines. With repeated interaction, however, there is a potential to increase efficiency through dynamic collusion. In the theoretical part we establish a fundamental asymmetry: it is easier to avoid overinvestment than underinvestment. Calibrating the model to fit the Eurasian pipeline system for natural gas, we find that the potential to improve efficiency through dynamic cooperation is large. In reality, however, only modest improvements over the non-cooperative solution have been achieved.

lol, Great trip report.
Your daughter appears to be a fine writer, although her prize winning story was a tad bit on the depressing side for early on a bright Saturday morning! ;) Her mystery story about the Diamond Doll was a lot of fun though! Tell her to keep up the excellent work!
Did your daughter get anything else because it was her birthday? Like free fastpasses or something?
I am also suprised that Disneyland has blackout dates for its Season Pass holders. To me that sound extremly odd since WDW and Great America (the ones that my brothers have) do not.
The other thing that struck me is your dislike for Indy. I really wouldn't compare it to Spiderman, but rather, Dinosaur at AK. Still, I am a bigger fan of Dinosaur. Indy invented the technology, Dinosaur made it better!
I love the pictures. I'm looking forward to the upcoming trips.
Looks like the B'day girl inherited her Dad's skill with the word, pretty good prize. I am waiting for the blockout to lift to return to DL.
Have a great trip, and I will be looking forward to the reports.
Disneyland has four levels of Annual Passes, not just one. I bought the cheapest level, which is blocked out all weekends, holidays and weekdays in summer. (I bought it to do the Tuesday park visit reports during the off season.) The upgrade the to second level adds Sundays during the school year.
As for Dinosaur, I'm not a big fan of that ride, either, though my biggest problem with it at the time I rode was the light level, which made seeing anything difficult. The story there made more sense, though I preferred the old "Countdown to Extinction" name.
Actually, I think you are wrong about Natalie. She's a far, far better writer than I ever will be. She took what she got from her mother and me, and amplified it.
If she got the best of both worlds, should we be looking out for a future songstress? Having adult kids of my own, it is great when they outdo the parents and leave them in the dust.
I miss roadtrips!
Please, someone, make this happen! That would be an uniquely awesome attraction.
On the topic of Natalie, her favorite musical instrument is the iPod. Neither of the kids has any desire to listen to, much less play, the violin, much to Mom's chagrin.
Completely agree with your Indy criticisms. It was very underwhelming and overhyped.

5 Reasons Why Scented Sugar Makes A Great Gift
With the start of the holiday season so close, we've already received several invitations to friends' homes for get-togethers or parties. Like in many households, money might be in short supply, but that doesn't mean we have to go empty-handed.
Hostess gifts are wonderful things and they can literally be as beautifully simple as a scented jar of sugar.
Here are five reasons why a jar of sugar can be the perfect gift this fall season.
This idea is one we've used for years (and apparently so has the staff at Martha Stewart). It requires very little energy to create and there's no frantic last minute stopping at the store. You always show up with something to give to a wonderful host or hostess, no matter what the occasion.
Here are a few reasons why we love it so much:
1. Inexpensive: Although sugar isn't as inexpensive as flour, it is far less pricey than a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates you pick up at the last minute. Buy a large bag from a bulk retailer for around $15 and you'll be able to make 50 or more gifts depending on the containers used! How's that for thrifty? Plain jars are sold at small prices, $2-$3 per container — or just use canning jars!
2. Shelf Stable & Ready To Go: Once you have your batch of sugars made up, they can sit, well, for years without problem (assuming they're airtight). Certainly through a holiday season anyway! After an hour's worth of work you'll have a whole collection of sugar containers ready to walk out the door with you. Take it one step further and dress each one with a napkin or tea towel and raffia with a tied-on blank card. Then you won't even have to wrap them — just pick them up and walk right out the door!
3. Everyone Can Use It: There aren't many households that can't use sugar and having some that's a little more special than others gives them a gourmet product to use with love and care in dishes for other friends and family. Even in households where sugar isn't used as much it can still be used in small amounts or in dishes for events where many people will be gathered, like potlucks.
4. It's Pretty & Practical: A jar of sugar with a few hints of herbs, spices or fruits not only acts as an ingredient, but also looks great on display. We like to keep our kitchens practical and all the things on display in them usable. You don't have to worry about the recipient finding a place for them as it can sit out on the table or counter without looking out of place!
5. Big Bang For Little Work: Pretend for a moment that you bought an industrial size bag of sugar from your local Costco or Sam's Club. It's huge, it weighs as much as your 16 year old! Once you get it home, the shopping wraps up 75% of the work involved in this craft. You can add in dried fruits (which would require drying) but things like basil leaves, cinnamon sticks or vanilla beans are simple and easy to add in without any real "work." They don't have to be perfect, just layer in your stuff and that's it. Making many will only require a few minutes of your time, so how can you say no to that?

I simply ADORE this idea. Not just for vanilla-infused sugar for cookie batter but for the bath. Oh, that's right. I use sugar as an exfoliant from head to toe and to have it scented would be so lovely. Thanks for the tip! You too, Martha.
Joy the Baker has a post today on lavender vanilla sugar:
hoe long do you have to let the flavors/scents set before you can taste them in the sugar?
This is great. I love giving jars of edibles at the holidays. Last year we did spiced pecans, infused vodkas, and peppermint bark. This is definitely going into the rotation this year.
We have made salt jars last year: a dash, really a dash(!) of chopped chilli, or lemon zest (which is great on fish), or even crushed garlic... into a jar of good crunchy sea salt made a great gift last year.
We also made fresh roast tomato sauce in jars and a packet of pasta as gifts - folks loved it, with all the hectic-ness of the season it was fabulous having a ready to eat meal at hand. Here's a link to our gift jar post if you would like to take a look... http://www.se7en.org.za/2009/12/24/se7en-bazillion-gifts-in-a-jar
The possibilities are endless!
caliH - Usually it takes a few days, but even if you made some tonight and gave them as a gift tomorrow, there's a good chance the recipient won't use them for at least a week.... so even making them at the last minute will work just fine :)
Knowing how much I ADORE the scent of citrus zest being rubbed into sugar, I think I might have to do this one this year, if only for myself! :)
I'm also making my boyfriend a bottle of flavored olive oil for his birthday. Cracked black pepper and garlic. This means I'll have to buy him oodles of french bread until it's gone, but I think he'll appreciate it. Olive oil can be purchased in bulk, too (though it's a bit more expensive than sugar).
My mom turned a bottle of plain vodka into akavit last year by adding whole spices and letting it sit for about a month. Vanilla vodka, hot pepper vodka (good for bloody marys), lemon vodka, orange vodka...the possibilities are endless. Plus, it's special AND shelf-stable!
Just please, for the love of god, don't give anyone "Russian tea" (a.k.a. instant iced tea mixed with Tang). I received that for Christmas one year. Yeah... it got thrown out a year later, untouched. Ick.
All the reasons you list are why it's an easy gift to make... but I'm having trouble understanding how someone would use these sugars. I hate giving gifts that eventually just end up in the trash....
i have a little mason jar of coarse sugar with rosebuds in it. it's so pretty and makes everyday coffee or tea a little more special; i can imagine it would be a great hostess gift!
tip on where to find rosebuds: i noticed the other day that my local health food store sells rosebuds in their bulk spices section. otherwise check an asian market.

"Last year in Japan the working age population peaked. From now on they are in an inexorable secular decline. The rubber is hitting the road there today."
Tax revenues by definition will not meet social security and other government expenses, which cement structural deficit. Previously, the population funded large government deficits by buying low interest bonds. As the population declines retirees will become bond sellers instead of buyers. Who will buy them now, and what interest premium will they require? 200 basis points will consume all tax revenue in interest payments, not to mention retiree obligations.
That is the essential mathematics demonstrated in the Macro view of western civilization. Demographically, Japan is in the worst position of all developed nations; it has the largest debt, the lowest fertility rates, and its population is now in decline.
Here is the BBC interview with Kyle Bass:
The interview begins with a description of the short term financial crisis, but moves to the larger long term one.
And in the article, "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Which Nation Has the Most Debt of All?" by Dan Mitchell, he references the same BIS article as I did in my Macro view of civilization.
What is surprising is that too often articles and news coverage (what there is of it) do not make clear that the issue is not demographics; it is merely the symptom that uncovers the disease.
The disease is structuring long term liabilities on pyramid style tax revenues without investment and ROI. There are solid reasons this practice is illegal in private enterprise. And regardless of the political arguments, however legitimate or attractive, no one, including governments, can redistribute money on their way to prosperity.
It turns out you have to earn it.

In reply, we already have term limits. Every 6 years the Senators must face the people; if they are re-elected, it is our fault.
Every 2 years, our Representatives must face the people; if THEY are elected it is, again, our fault.
Early Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week" Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered a simple yet important message to President Obama and his Democratic colleagues on the Hill: It's time to tackle spending:
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says that "absolutely the tax issue is behind us" as a result of the "fiscal cliff" deal and that it's now time to focus solely on confronting what he calls "our spending addiction."
He says it shouldn't require a crisis for President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in the Senate to address federal spending and the future of big entitlement programs...

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things… A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."

The GF donuts are a bit dense, but still delicious. The Benedict's are great, just sub some GF toast. GF pancakes are just OK.
Not safe for Celiacs. I have not eaten here. I emailed & the response was that the GF menu was for those "who want to limit their gluten intake" and that it was not safe for those on a medically necessary GF diet. They do nothing to prevent cross contamination. Go to Snooze. Tell them you're Celiac & they will be careful.
Amazing gluten-free donut bites (I got lemon, jelly, cinnamon, and cream and they were all delicious!) I also had scrambled eggs with gluten-free toast that was wonderful. Great service and cute, laidback atmosphere. I highly recommend for breakfast!

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Twins traded right-hander Boof Bonser to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday for a player to be named later.
After missing all of last season recovering from surgery to repair tears in the labrum and rotator cuff of his pitching shoulder, Bonser was designated for assignment on Tuesday by the Twins to make room on the 40-man roster for Carl Pavano, who accepted the team's arbitration offer.
Bonser started experiencing pain in the shoulder at the end of the 2008 season, but an MRI performed at the time showed no structural damage. Rest and rehabilitation was prescribed for the veteran, which proved unsuccessful.
The 28-year-old Bonser received a cortisone shot prior to reporting to the club's spring training facility last February, but the problem did not subside.
Over three seasons with Minnesota, Bonser boasted an 18-25 record with a 5.12 earned run average in 96 games, including 60 starts.
In 2008, he went 3-7 with a 5.93 ERA over 47 contests, starting 12 of those games.

Last Thursday with its inch of rain was not an evening for casual outings, but three factors drew us out to hear the "audio play" Calypso at STOREFRONT. Number one was the duo behind it, author Paul Rome (who we haven't heard from since last year's radio play …And Once Again packed out the Bushwick Starr), backed up this time around by electronic musician Roarke Menzies. Next was the venue: we were curious how our second-narrowest gallery could possibly work as a performance space. And third was the event page's teasing lack of details, which didn't even settle which usage of the name Calypso we would be dealing with.
Calypso has two meanings with no common etymology: the island nymph in the Odyssey who detained Odysseus as her husband for seven years, and the steelpan-driven musical tradition of Trinidad and Tobago. As it played out, Rome used both meanings as a weak tie between two alternating stories, not so much a common thread as a sort of hyperlink, as though the stories were two Wikipedia pages just one disambiguation apart. One told a story of young love between two deliciously stereotyped students in Morningside Heights, while the other told the tale of the Odyssey from the viewpoint of the long suffering wife Penelope.
Each tale by itself would be a good one in any format and any pairing, with Rome's easy humor and detail oriented storytelling. As with last year's radio play, it's the presentation that made a real evening of it, even if this one only lasted 40 minutes. The paired stories with Menzies's custom musical carrier signal were sounded out at last month's Bushwick Home Companion, a series at the Northeast Kingdom Den to which we ought to be paying some attention. From there the creators were stumped by the "weird length" of their creation, and decided that the pocket-sized work needed a proportionally scaled down venue. Thus STOREFRONT, the sparse event flier, and the single Thursday staging.
The audience, however, had other ideas. STOREFRONT was packed to the rainy threshold and glowed with laughter, undiminished in its enthusiasm from last year's Bushwick Starr feature. The stories were of love misplaced and misunderstood, of relationships betrayed by distant islands – Trinidad, Ogygia – and their resident doppelgängers. What so engaged the audience, however, were the simpler delights of spot-on characters, with Menzies delivering the uncomfortably believable confessions of a Columbia student (riding a tandem down to Chinatown for banh mi and bubble tea) and Rome playing Penelope as a frustrated contemporary, a Marge to Odysseus's Homer.
Rome admits that along with the weird length, it's the less-than-sexy idea of the "reading" that makes it hard to go places with his brand of performance. He's gaining ground in this, though, and has at least convinced Bushwick that spoken literature can be more than just an excuse for authors to get out more. Working with atmospheric, mood-coloring music like Menzies's plays a role in this, creating a fictional space that holds auditory focus. The rest of the work is done by the writing itself, which is simply storytelling in a good oral tradition. "Homeric" is too grandiose a comparison, but let's call it a hyperlink.

An autumn adventure with Otterlock and Hedge-John
Inspired by eldritch-elegy:
"Sherlock…you didn't…do anything to these apples did you?"
"Hmm? Did you say something, John?"
"The FRUIT, Sherlock. Is it safe to eat?"
"What? Fruit?"
"Wait! Don't eat that, John! It's for a case! Autumn fruit has been vanishing all over London!"
"*sigh* Figures."
"Don't sulk, John. It's so melodramatic. Anyhow, there's no time for eating…we have a case!"
"…You can console yourself by thinking of a ridiculous entry title for when you write about this in your ludicrous blog. You could be really clever and call it The Case of the Vanishing Apples."
"Oh, I just figured I'd call it 'The Escapade of Sherlock is Still a Jerk and Never Does the Shopping.' It sounds fancy because I used the word 'Escapade'."
"Yeah, uh-huh…I'm sure whatever you think is best will be…A CLUE!"
"You know, it's rather frustrating trying to insult you when you aren't even listening."
"Are you coming, John?"
"Oh, sorry, yes."
"The GAME, John…is AFOOT!"
"These small, pointy toed footprints are familiar."
"This grass was clearly bent by rolling something heavy over it."
"Hey Sherlock?"
"Not now, John! I must move quickly if I wish to intercept him!"
"Intercept who?"
"I knew you'd find me, Sherlock. I left you a trail of clues even your pet hedgehog could have followed."
"FERRET-IARTY! Moving on to bigger fruit, I see."
"I suppose I can't really take this with me this time. But keep a close eye on your produce, Sherlock. WELLL…that won't actually matter. i mean, you can't watch it ALL the time, now, can you?"
"You can't escape, Moriarty. John is right behind me."
"Really? Oh dear. On the other hand, look to your left, Sherlock."
"Now, now, Sherlock…you can hardly blame yourself. Seb does blend into his environment rather well. Easy thing for the AVERAGE otter to miss. Amazing creatures, tigers. FAST, too. Unlike your own pet. Where did you say he is, now?"
"I. WILL. Stop. You. Maybe not today, but I WILL."
"No you won't!"
"Sherlock, come on! I found the missing fruit!"
"That's really…not entirely worthless, John. I'll text the Yard."
"And home in time for tea. That wasn't so bad."
"…not so bad. Hmm."
"Sherlock? Everything okay?"
"Yes. Yes, it's fine. Let's go home."

Spoil Yourself on Valentine's Day. Go Ahead!
When I asked a few single-mom bloggers if they were going to say "No" to Valentine's Day, I'd expected to get a good dose of cynicism.
Single Mom Seeking: Instead, bloggers like The Quest for T -- a single mom of two -- said:
"I think love is who we are -- and we should celebrate that every moment of every day!"
So, this time around -- when I called these same women to touch base about their Valentine's mood -- I was sure some bitterness would come through.
But no. Listen in:
"In the last year, I've lost 35 lbs, quit smoking and started paying off divorce-related bills," says Julie from 47 and Starting Over. "Now I am about to turn 49 and I feel fabulous about that! So I will celebrate this crazy little Hallmark holiday with some white wine, dark chocolate and candles ... and be thankful to be starting the last year of my 40s in such a better place in my life!"
Kat Wilder, who celebrates Valentine's Day every day, adds: "I make sure the people I love know it every day."
And then there's Jessica, a.k.a. Sassafrass, who put it all out there:
"This year, I will be sweetly and quietly completely single. OK, I won't be that quiet. Although right now I am challenged to just 'be' in my singleness, I am actively seeking ways to delight in the quiet time to make my way through a queue full of Netflix movies and seasons of shows I missed when I was out with cute boys who kept me out way too late."
And her plans for today?
"I will be spoiled on Valentine's Day. By myself, for myself. Nothing lavish. Nothing budget-blowing. Nothing life-changing. Nothing practical. Just something that will remind me that I deserve to be delighted. I'm thinking about buying and wearing a pair of saucy red knickers that no one else really needs to know about to give me a thrill. Or maybe a big old gaudy cocktail ring to flash when I'm tapping away at my laptop, working late at night. Perhaps a new belly ring or lipstick or ridiculously small and adorable clutch purse. Of course, I always accept shoes from myself with great appreciation and bliss."
So, will you spoil yourself on Valentine's Day? Let's hear how!
|Rachel Sarah, a.k.a. "Single Mom Seeking," blogs at SingleMomSeeking.com and co-founded SingleMommyHood.com, the first-ever website to offer "a whole new way to think about life."
I'm married, but working all night….I just ordered takeout (which I rarely do at work). I ordered lemon chicken AND filet mignon/chicken teriyaki hibachi. Two of my favorites….the rest we can have for lunch tomorrow! Yum!
I am a single Mom of two teenage sons. I've been divorced for 8 years and for Valentine's Day I bought myself a big, gaudy ring which I love. I also buy myself flowers and ballons on my birthday. I am better to myself than any man has ever been! I enjoyed some parts of being married and am enjoying the peaceful bliss that comes along with being single - it suits me quite well.

Ranger-guided tours scheduled weekly through March
By Jessica Creagan
SEBASTIAN INLET -- The water traffic just north of Sebastian Inlet State Park is about to get a whole lot busier on Wednesdays.
Park rangers assigned to state park will be offering guided kayak and canoe tours leaving from Campbell's Cove on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. through March, weather permitting, showing off the Indian River Lagoon's flora and fauna.
Park services specialist Ed Perry said participants are welcome to attend and reserve a single or double occupancy vessel from the Sebastian Inlet Marina for a rental fee of $20 for two hours, which includes life jackets and paddles and a launch fee.
"You can also bring your own kayak or canoe and just pay the launch fee of $3," Mr. Perry said.
Because the tours are weather dependent, it is best to call the marina not only to sign up, but also to verify the status of the program on your scheduled tour date and where exactly to meet up, he said.
While media coverage about the health of lagoon may be accurate to report a decline in wildlife and plants, that doesn't mean there is nothing to see at all, Mr. Perry said.
"It's likely that you will see a lot of plant life on the trip, especially mangroves. There's also migrating ducks, egrets, blue herons, mullet, maybe some sting rays and sheepshead," he said.
Kayak or canoe tours have been popular and successful in other state parks around the state, and since Sebastian Inlet and the Indian River Lagoon have so much to offer, it seemed like a natural fit to add to the available programs, Mr. Perry said.
The tour will begin at Campbell's Cove, which is sort of a bay area right off of the lagoon and continue to Long Point Park and then back to Campbell's Cove.
"Depending on the paddler, it should take about one hour in each direction," Mr. Perry said.
Participants should dress appropriately for the activity and the weather, he said.
The Sebastian Inlet Marina is located at 9502 S. Highway A1A, Melbourne Beach.
For more information about the tours or other marina activities, call (321) 724-5424 or visit www.sebastianinlet.com.
Sebastian Inlet State Park is located at 9700 S. Highway A1A, Melbourne Beach.
For more information about Sebastian Inlet State Park programs, call (321) 984-4852 or visit www.floridastateparks.org/sebastianinlet.

Stocks head higher for fourth dayBy STEVE ROTHWELL
The Associated Press | July 10,2013AP Photo
Traders Joel Lucchese, left, and Michael Urkonis confer on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange recently.NEW YORK The stock market edged higher Tuesday as investors bought companies that fare best when the economic outlook is bright.
All major stock indexes rose, but gains were led by the riskier parts of the market. The Russell 2000, an index of small-company stocks, climbed for a fourth straight day. The Dow Jones transportation average, seen as a leading indicator for the broader economy, also jumped.
The gains suggest that investors are getting more confident about the economys prospects. In the first half of the year, stock markets were powered by the safer companies that paid large dividends.
When you see that leadership from the smaller caps thats probably a good sign overall for the bigger blue chips to potentially follow suite, said Ryan Detrick, a senior technical strategist at Schaeffers Investment Research. People are leaving the more defensive areas.
The Russell 2000 rose eight points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,018.05. It has gained 4.2 percent in July and is moving deeper into record territory. The index has risen more this year than its large-company counterparts, the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poors 500 index.
The Dow Jones transportation index rose the most among major U.S. indexes Tuesday, led by strong gains for Alaska Air Group and FedEx.
The index jumped 148 points, or 2.4 percent, to 6,446. Alaska Air Group rose 7 percent after it forecast an additional $50 million a year in revenue from increased fees. FedEx rose 6 percent on speculation that William Ackmans hedge fund, Pershing Square, could invest in the company.
Wall Street is also turning its attention to corporate earnings. The second-quarter results should give traders and investors fresh insights into the economy. Market watchers spent most of June trying to figure out where the Federal Reserve was headed with its economic stimulus program.
Along with the quarterly results, investors want to see how confident companies are about the rest of the year, said Cam Albright, director of asset allocation for Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors.
Major U.S. stock indexes have notched a series of all-time highs this year on expectations that earnings will remain at record levels.
A lot of what the market has justified its advances on is a strong second half for the economy and a strong second half for earnings, said Albright. Its important that we see verification of that.
Alcoa was the first major company to announce second-quarter results. The aluminum maker late Monday reported a second-quarter loss that wasnt as big as financial analysts feared. The company benefited from strong demand for aluminum used in autos and airplanes, although that was offset by weaker prices.
Traders werent blown away by the results, though. After initially rising, the stock ended down 1 cent, or 0.1 percent, to $7.91.
Yum Brands, which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, and Family Dollar store are among the companies reporting their earnings this week. JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo will also report.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 75 points, or 0.5 percent, to 15,300.34. The S&P 500 index gained 11 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,652.32 The Nasdaq composite rose 19 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,504.26
The S&P 500 has risen for four straight days, its best streak in almost two months. Gains were led by industrial firms and companies that provide raw materials. Telecommunications companies, which investors turn to when the economic outlook is gloomier, fell.
The S&P 500 is now just 1 percent below its May 21 record of 1,669. It was down almost 6 percent to 1,573 on June 24.
Stocks have recovered since Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the central bank planned to reduce its economic stimulus.
The central bank is buying $85 billion in bonds a month to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and spending. That stimulus has been a major support in the stock markets five-year rally.
Stock markets are likely to become more volatile as investors try to assess when and how quickly the central bank will cut back on stimulus, said Dean Junkas, chief investment officer of Wells Fargo Private Bank.
More volatility in the second half of the year is what were expecting, said Junkas.
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was little changed at 2.64 percent early Tuesday. The yield has pulled back after surging to 2.74 percent Friday, its highest level in almost two years, after the government reported strong hiring for June.
In commodities trading, the price of oil rose 17 cents, or 0.2 percent to $103.33 a barrel. Gold rose $12, or 1 percent, to $1,246.90.
Among other stocks making big moves:
WD-40 rose $3.13, or 5 percent, to $60.77 after the company reported earnings that beat financial analysts forecasts.
Barnes and Noble rose 64 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $18.32 after the bookseller said Monday its CEO is leaving after three years.
