Community calls for justice and transparency in police shooting of Nieto after new eyewitness contradicts SFPD version
As word spread to San Francisco that police in Ferguson, Mo., were taking reporters into custody and firing tear gas at demonstrators outraged by the death of Mike Brown, a small group of writers and organizers with ties to the Mission District was gearing up to hold street demonstrations of its own.
On Aug. 21 and 22, they staged vigils and a march and rally in memory of a different shooting victim: Alejandro ("Alex") Nieto, who died suddenly in Bernal Heights Park on March 21 after being struck by a volley of police bullets.Read more »
United Educators of San Francisco authorize preliminary strike vote as concerns about cost of living rise
The first day of school was Aug. 18 in the San Francisco Unified School District, but a group of teachers started the day with a press conference announcing the possibility that they could soon go on strike.
The teachers union, United Educators of San Francisco, announced the results of a strike authorization vote held the previous Thursday. The vote, which was the first of two required to authorize a strike, resulted with an overwhelming "yes" with 99.3 percent of teachers saying they would take that step if necessary.Read more »
Decades after crack cocaine "epidemic," bill aims for parity between crack and powder cocaine sentencing
Roll up a dollar bill, snort a line of coke, sit back and smile: If your cocaine use leads to a conviction, your drug of choice will be spared from the harsher penalties associated with inhaling the substance through a glass pipe. When it comes to busts for cocaine possession and dealing, those caught with a rock instead of the powdered stuff are kept behind bars longer. But that could soon change.Read more »
How a high-minded countercultural experiment ended up on everyone's bucket list
The question of when Burning Man jumped the shark is a matter of perspective, or perhaps it's a philosophical question, but these are waters worth wading into as burners pack up this week for their annual pilgrimage to the playa.
The meme that Burning Man has jumped the shark — that is, that it's gotten ridiculous or strayed from its original ethos — circulated more strongly this year than most after conservative firebrand Grover Norquist last month tweeted that he was "off to 'Burning Man' this year. Scratch one off the bucket list."Read more »
Protesters prevent Israeli ship from unloading during two days of picketing outside the Port of Oakland

Height: Most of the town lies between 2,100 m and 2,300 m
Languages spoken: Hindi. Also English, Punjabi and Pahari.

With all its intricacies, history seems to have been the mortar for every brick and stone that has built Shimla. As the summer capital of British India for well over a century it was the seat of one of the most powerful governments in the world. From its cedar-shaded heights, one fifth of the human race was ruled and the decisions made those decades ago affect our lives to the present day.
Map of tourist spots around Shimla
Plan Your Sightseeing
If you are fond of walking, Shimla will unfold parts that remain hidden to vehicles. Combinations by car and then on foot are possible in several areas. It is suggested that you take a direction for the day and cover the places of interest.
The area around the Institute of Advanced Study has several walks. Combine these with visit to the State Museum and expand if you will towards Kamna Devi.
Tara Devi and Sankat Mochan can be linked with a short train ride to Tara Devi station. The Himalayan Queen that leaves Shimla at 10.15 am is recommended.
Jakhoo can be combined with a stroll and shopping on the Mall and in Lakkar Bazaar. The Lower Bazaar that runs parallel to the Mall at a lower level has the flavour of a typical Indian market place. Trinkets that can be purchased here include silver jewellery. You can also walk towards Chotta Shimla and Raj Bhavan the residence of the state Governor. The recently created rooms of Himachal Darshan offer a glimpse of the various district in the state. Jakhoo has several paths that criss-cross the hill a good walk is along the old Five Benches Road near the microwaves link tower. The Bharari spur also has many walks that can be done in a few hours or carried over the day
Special Interest
Some routes offer a greater variety of Shimla trees, shrubs, wildflowers and ferns. If you are lucky some bird species can also be sighted. Some suggested places are:
The Glen, and the narrow forest trail that runs above it and loops around Summer Hill. The Bharari spur. Towards the villages of Kamina and Pabo. Trek route down from Kamina to Tattapani.
Colonial Architecture
Most of Shimla has diverse colonial forms culled from all over Europe.
English Renaissance: With a castle-like appearance is the former Viceregal Lodge which is now the Indian Institute of Advanced Study. This is surrounded by assorted cottages.
English Home Counties Marketplace: The Mall
Neo-Gothic: Gorton Castle now the office of the Accountant General and formerly the Imperial Civil Secretariat; the Secretariat of the Himachal Government at Ellerslie; and the Gaiety Theatre on the Mall
Norman- Baronial: District Courts.
Swiss- Bavarian chalets: The Chalet Day School and Cedar Lodge (Punjab Government Rest House).
Tudor: The Library on the Ridge and Barnes Court
Churches: Christ Church, St. Andrew and the deconsecrated churches of St. Andrew's (now, the Evening College) All Saints Chapel 9nearthe gates of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study).
Cemeteries: Adjoining Oakover, the residence of the Chief Minister of Himachal has the oldest one. The largest 'old-one' is below St. Edward's school and is approached via the Potato Research Station. The one at Sanjauli also dates back to colonial times and is still in use.
Others: Yarrows, various schools and college and cottages all over town.
Handicrafts. Shawls and tweeds. Fruit juice and jams. Honey. Quality woollens. Silver jewellery. Rare books and etchings. Contemporary pahari miniature paintings. Metalware. Rugs and carpets. Handmade footwear. Wooden items like walking sticks.
Planning a Week in the Shimla Sector
A week's time will give you a healthy sampler of Shimla. Dividing your time between the town and suburbs is suggested. You can also divide your stay between the town and the peripheral region. A good time to do the walks are the mornings. A visit to the Mall is the ideal plan for the evenings. When visiting the suburbs plan for most of the day. In season, an appropriate activity like activity – like ice-skating can be pursued. Let your hotel or an approved travel agent help you plan your itinerary – those few minutes will add a great deal to your stay.

1. Schedule of Courses
View the Schedule of Courses (SOC). Choose from the drop down menus: Semester: Fall 2014; Campus and Location: Dickinson School of Law (DN). Additional Search Criteria located in the lower left corner of the SOC provides several ways to search the schedule of courses. To see a complete list of courses being offered, select Dickinson School of Law (LW) in the College drop down box on the Additional Search Criteria screen.
2. Plan Your Schedule
Before you register, take time to gather the information and advice you need to plan for next semester and beyond. Use the Registration Worksheet (PDF or Excel format) to assist you in planning your schedule. To see when a course will likely be offered in the future, review the anticipated course lists for Spring 2015 and Fall 2015 semesters. For information about enrolling in a clinic or externship, including course requirements and application deadlines, visit Clinics and Externships. For information about courses with content tested on the bar examinations see Information About Bar Admissions and Exam or contact the Assistant Dean for Student Services.
Academic Advice — Take the initiative to ask for advice. Law faculty members are happy to help you select courses, provide advice about the sequence of related courses, and explain how courses relate to law practice. You can visit one of your current professors during office hours. Ask for an appointment with a faculty member who teaches or writes in a field of law that interests you. The website lists faculty by specialized fields of study. Or, ask for an appointment with your assigned faculty advisor or any law faculty member. Your faculty advisor's name is available on eLion. Academic Affairs is also a good source for academic advice. To make an appointment with Dean Reilly or Dean Pratt at any time, contact Ms. Lori Smith in UP, or Ms. Teresa Dows in Carlisle.
Employment While Enrolled — Because law school course work requires full-time application, students are cautioned not to place excessive reliance on employment for financial support. First-year students are strongly advised to refrain from any employment. All students are forbidden from working more than twenty hours per week. By registering for classes each semester, students certify compliance with this throughout the semester. Employment inconsistent with this rule is a violation of the Honor Code. Under the Academic Standing Rules, the Rules Committee will not consider employment during the semester as an excuse for poor academic performance.
Special Information about Advocacy I in Carlisle — Carlisle students entering the third year should plan to take Advocacy I in Fall 2014. Carlisle students entering the second year, and who are interested in taking Advocacy I, should plan to take: 1) Evidence in Fall 2014 and 2) Advocacy I in Spring 2015. Advocacy I in Carlisle will NOT be offered in Fall 2015 and the Spring 2016 offering will NOT be open to 3L students.
Important Registration Rules and Tips — Consult the Student Academic Handbook for information about J.D. degree requirements and other academic rules, including the rules on Co-Curricular Credits, Independent Study, Pass-Fail Option, and Seminar and Professional Skills requirements. You are responsible for satisfying all degree requirements and complying with all academic rules. For questions about degree requirements and academic rules contact the law school Registrar.
The Degree Audit application under the Advising tab on eLion is available to Law students. The degree audit allows you to compare your academic record to your J.D. degree requirements so you can be sure you are on track academically.
- J.D. and joint degree students cannot register for more than 17 credits per semester.
- Students may not register for courses with overlapping meeting times.
- Carlisle-based students should register in sections with 100 numbers. University Park-based students should register in sections with 200 numbers.
- The drop/add period for all law school courses ends at 11:59 PM on Wednesday August 27, 2014. You can drop or add courses on eLion at any time before the deadline. However, you cannot drop or add courses after the deadline except with permission of the Associate Dean which will be granted only in compelling circumstances.
- If your academic record is subject to a hold, you cannot complete certain registration steps on eLion. The University Registrar notifies students by e-mail whose records are subject to holds. You can check the status of your academic record on eLion by selecting Financial, then Holds.
- Please check Timely Registration News for information on courses with special enrollment criteria.
- For information about electing to take a graded course on a pass/fail basis, see Pass-Fail Option in the Student Academic Handbook. See the Fall 2014 Pass/Fail Course List for courses you can elect to take pass/fail. When classes start, the Registrar will remind all students by e-mail about the pass/fail option and provide instructions for making the election before the deadline on Wednesday September 10, 2014.
- The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs may cancel a course with low enrollment (less than 5 students) ordinarily no later than the first day of classes for the semester, and may maintain or cancel any course due to exceptional circumstances. Check Timely Registration News for notice of course cancellations. The Registrar's Office will notify enrolled students of cancellation by e-mail.
Exam Schedule — Check the Fall 2014 Final Exam Schedule and Final Exam Regulations for information about the final exam schedule and law school exam rules.
Law School Wait List — If a course is full when you attempt to register, you can request to be placed on a wait list for that course. Please note that the law school does not use the Watch List on eLion. You must use the law school wait list linked from the law school website. Do not add your name to a wait list if addition of the wait listed course would raise your credit total over 17 credits, unless the wait listed course conflicts in day and time with a course you have successfully scheduled, in which case if a seat opens in the wait listed course the conflicting course will be automatically dropped without notice to you in favor of the wait listed course, provided that your course schedule does not exceed 17 credits with the addition of the wait listed course. If a seat in a wait listed course opens but addition of the course will raise your credit total over 17 credits, you will not be scheduled in the course. The law school Registrar will send a message to your PSU e-mail account if you are scheduled into a wait listed course or removed from a wait list. You can also monitor changes to your schedule on eLion.
The wait list is monitored on a regular basis during business hours Monday through Friday. As a courtesy to your classmates, please remove your name from a course wait list if you are no longer interested in the course.
IMPORTANT!!! The law school does not use the Watch List on eLion. You must use the law school wait list linked from the law school website.
Changing Campus Location — J.D. students may reside at either campus. If you decide to change campuses permanently or for the semester, you must notify the law school Registrar before you register. The law school offers semester-based housing options in Carlisle and University Park for students who want to change campuses for a semester.
Timely Registration News — Visit Timely Registration News frequently during the registration period for late-breaking registration information.

Connolly is known for his role on the HBO original series Entourage as Eric Murphy (also known as "E").
At the age of six, Connolly began his career appearing in television commercials including the popular "Betcha bite a chip" campaign for Chips Ahoy. In 1990, he landed his first film role, as Chickie, in Rocky V. Two years later, Connolly was cast as Shaun Kelly in the film adaptation of Myron Levoy's novel Alan & Naomi, and co-starred in the short lived Fox sitcom Great Scott!. His appearance in the show later earned him a Young Artist Award nomination for Best Young Actor Co-starring in a Television Series. In 1993, he portrayed Dabney Coleman's son in the 1993 movie The Beverly Hillbillies. Connolly continued guest starring in television shows like Wings, Getting By and the medical drama ER.
From 1995 to 1996, Connolly filmed Don's Plum, alongside friends and future collaborators, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio. Later that year, he landed the role of Ryan Malloy on the sitcom Unhappily Ever After. The show also marked Connolly's directorial debut when he directed six episodes in its fourth season. In 2007, Connolly made his full length movie directorial debut with the film Gardener of Eden, which premiered in April of 2007 at the Tribeca Film Festival.
In addition to television work, Connolly has starred in several major motion pictures including, Antwone Fisher, John Q and The Notebook. In August 2007, Kevin signed on to play a lead role in Drew Barrymore's new comedy He's Just Not that Into You. Most recently, Connolly has reportedly been cast as jazz musician Benny Goodman in an upcoming movie. The film, set in the 1930s, will focus on one of the first interracial bands of the era. Nick Cannon, Brandon Routh and rapper Ludacris will co-star.
Connolly was born in Patchogue, New York. At one time, Connolly was linked with his Unhappily Ever After co-star Nikki Cox. He also dated heiress and designer Nicky Hilton from January 2005 to October 2006. Most recently, he has been romantically linked with actress Haylie Duff and Dancing with the Stars dancer, Julianne Hough.
In June 2007, Connolly was named one of People magazine's hottest bachelors of 2007 along with cast mate Adrian Grenier.
Connolly is a die-hard New York Islanders fan. He showed his support for the team by wearing an Islanders hat in the Entourage episode "Welcome to the Jungle".

One time, my parents got a wild bug and decided that they wanted to move houses. I guess it really boiled down to them wanting to downsize, but they didn't want to say that. Well, of course they enlisted every child and child's spouse in the family to come help. I put on my work shorts and shoes and readied myself to get busy, because it wasn't going to be an easy task!
My wife and I arrived a little late, and the entire family was standing out front in some form of argument… here is another detail I didn't give you. My mom is somewhat of a hoarder. Not severely, but she keeps things she "might" need and never wants to throw things away. I figured out what they were arguing about before I even stepped foot out of the car. They didn't have enough room in the new house for all of her stuff, but she didn't want to get rid of it. Finally though, she agreed to get rid of some of it. But not all of it!
Now we had a predicament on our hands, because we only had access to a couple of large trashcans. But she had so much stuff! She had a collection of magazines ranging from a decade old, all kinds of Tupperware that was never used, and trinkets galore. We didn't know what to do, until my brother said "No fear! Who ya gonna call? Trash busters!" He searched for a local company on his smart phone and within 30 minutes we were delivered our very own rented dumpster! Thanks to http://www.dakotadumpsters.com/ we were able to get rid of the majority of my mom's junk within four or five hours. It could have been quicker if she didn't want to sort through all of it as we went, but you know how that goes. I like to think twice about every move I make and I don't have any hoarding tendencies. I'm so proud of her!
We filled that dumpster to the brim and then called them back, and off it went to the trash heap, which is another wonder in itself! It was a hassle free experience on our part. I'm so thankful for Dakota Dumpsters and the service they provide. You wouldn't think about it, but trash removal is such a big deal all around the world. It's something we generally take for granted, but it's a big job and gratefully there are big companies to deal with it.
Next time you move, go ahead and rent that moving truck to make it easy. And if you have a ton of items you won't be taking with you, then rent a dumpster. They'll haul that stuff off for you in a jiffy. All you have to do is toss it in and you're off to your new house!

Find & share great dishes, not just restaurants.
Find whatever you're craving, see what's good at any restaurant and learn what foodspotters, friends and experts love wherever you go.
Really good vegetarian dish. Fried mushrooms and onions were delicious, but overall, there was a little too much grease. Sorry about the picture, I was hungry and forgot!
Went for the first time today with a couple of friends. A very simple menu of paninis and salads, various coffees and desserts, vegetarian and meat options. The Purple House Cafe Panini with portabello mushrooms was excellent. I was most impressed with the water. Not wanting to buy a plastic bottle of water, we asked for a glass of water... And this is what we were served. A full litre, cold and refreshing, no charge, no plastic. :) #vegetarian
A complete meal. Greens, veggies, black beans and guacamole. Leave out the cheese for a vegan dish.

I haven't posted in a few days because I have been battling Vertigo.
At least I think that's what it is.
I woke up in the middle of the night on the 5th, at 3:15 a.m. to be exact, and could not make the room stop spinning. It was beyond scary.
I've had this happen before (back in 2002) and back then the E.R. told me it was Vertigo, and that once you have it, it could pop up again at any time.
And that's just what it did.
I am doing much better today, but I'm still afraid to move too quickly.
I will post some more Lettered Cottage photos later this week, once the ground is a little more stabil!

Bosch Solar Energy starts crystalline silicon module production in Vénissieux, France
Bosch Solar Energy has begun operation of a new manufacturing line for crystalline solar modules in the French town of Vénissieux, near Lyon.
• The factory has an annual manufacturing capacity of 150MWp.
With the new factory, Bosch has managed to keep 200 jobs in Vénissieux. Production of common rail injection pumps at this diesel site was discontinued last year due to declining demand.
Five different types of mono-crystalline and multi-crystalline Bosch solar modules can be built in the factory.

At first glance the bag looks like it may be a bit small but it's amazing the amount of stuff you can fit in it. You'll only run into trouble if you try and use full size bottles (shampoo) etc. Seems to have been put together very well. The hanging hook is a huge plus.

Decent bag, but not great if you have a lot of bottles.. I kept this, but ended up ordering an Eagle Creek bag... plus this has no hangar or mirror.

Not too bad a bag, some of the pockets are a little small. But I guess it holds most of the stuff you need to bring on a regular type trip. The hook for hanging it up is quite handy.

Lies the airlines tell me
Written by Robert Niles
My experience flying yesterday gave me an extra appreciation for something Disney does, or, more accurately, doesn't do.Tweet
How? My flight out of Denver left the gate on time, then spent the next 20 minutes on the tarmac. The pilot came on the intercom to tell us we were being held while "waiting for some paperwork." A half hour later, we were on our way back to the gate. A fluid line was reporting a problem, we were then told, and after two attempts to fix it, our flight was assigned to a different plane.
Of course, by that time, our pilots had exceeded their daily shift limit, so we had to wait for a new crew to arrive.
Frustrating, sure, but what bothered me most was the string of bogus departure times United issued. We were scheduled to depart at 1:02 pm. When the troubles started, our published departure time slid from 2:00 to 2:15 to 2:30 to 2:40 to 2:45 to 2:50 to 3:00 to 3:30 to 4:00 to 4:18 to 4:30 to 5:00 to 6:00, when we eventually did get on the new plane and off the ground.
Having worked for several years in the theme park attractions, I know that machines break down from time to time and that delays happen. But I appreciate Disney's policy of training cast members not to provide a definite reopening time when that occurs. Because, let's face it, you never know exactly when something's going to be fixed.
Sure, you can tell people how long previous fixes of the same time have taken. (And I've found many Disney cast members over the years who'll do that.) But every downtime is different. There's no guarantee that this power-up from a cascade stop on Big Thunder Mountain will take 15 minutes just because 90 percent of them do. This could be one of those annoying 10 percent.
So I appreciate when a business is honest and tells me "we don't know." I understand that it's good business to communicate with your customers - but only if you're communicating honestly. United just embarrassed itself with that string of bogus take-off times. I wish the airline industry would quit feeding us this garbage. Tell us what the problem is, and what you're doing about it. But don't insult us by making up a dozen departure times that you can't keep.
In the interest of getting some entertainment out of a frustrating day, I invited our Facebook fans to submit their airline delay horror stories, and promised to give a new Theme Park Insider T-shirt to the best one. You can check out the one that have been submitted already, or add your own. Vote for your favorite story by "liking" it.
I'm giving away two more of our T-shirts this week, as well - just publicly share our posts on Facebook or retweet our posts on Twitter to enter to win one of those.
Readers' Opinions
From Tim Odom on March 15, 2012 at 12:44 PM
A few months ago, I was coming back from seeing my girlfriend (now my fiance). My flight from Pittsburgh to Providence, RI had a stop in Philadelphia, for reasons I have yet to understand, but that is neither here nor there.
So, I get to the airport in Pittsburgh on time, and, come to find out, there was some sort of weather delay. Mind you, it was not raining at all in Pittsburgh, but hey, it MUST have been raining in Philadelphia. Ok, I can deal with that.
Well, regardless, the delay increased. I saw my scheduled departure time start to slip, from 3:35pm til sometime around 8pm. Mind you, my connecting flight in Philadelphia was scheduled to leave at 6pm. So, of course, I start to get concerned, seeing as I had work the next day and had no vacation time left. I make a point to ask about what would happen if I missed my flight, and was told by the Southwest officials that they were holding the flight in Philadelphia due to several passengers for that flight being on this one.
Ok, so finally, around 8, we take-off. Please note, my girlfriend lived 2 hours away from the airport, and getting there 2 hours early, meant that at this point, this was a very long day. We get to Philadelphia, with the pilot telling us, again, that we would not miss the connecting flight.
I get into the terminal and ask a Southwest employee what gate my flight is at, and am told to go to Gate 16. I go there and another Southwest employee says, and I quote, "Oh, that flight left hours ago." I go back to the first Southwest employee, and she AGAIN sends me back to Gate 16.
At this point, I lose it. Really, it's like 9:30pm, I have been on the road since like 11am, and am still no where close to home. When I finally got the answer as to what the heck was going on, a supervisor came over and apologized to me (please keep in mind, I was not nice to the the Southwest employee that kept sending me to Gate 16, and under any other circumstances should not have flown that night.) He tells me that my flight will leave at 10pm, which it does. In the end run, it would have taken me less time to drive than fly.
I ended up getting over $200 in vouchers for all of this, when all I would have asked for is a little honesty. I understand weather can be crap, but lying about it again and again and again was a little much.
Just typing all that out again gets me ticked at Southwest. Again.

From Carrie Hood on March 15, 2012 at 6:47 PM
"It must be raining in Philadelphia..."
Lemme guess, USAirways? (Sarcasm Sorry, couldn't help it)
Oddly enough the Airlines (where at least several years ago) required to re-file paperwork each time a delay happened, that's why the scheduled time changes like that. If the fix takes longer, one poor gate attendant (or their poor coordinator) will have to keep re-filing the papers to the control tower and everyone else until the flight gets moving.
Plus Airline workers are just as mistreated as theme park workers. They honestly take so much abuse I personally think they out-rank the theme parks, cause just like Disney they go out and break the plane on purpose just to mess with your plans.
From Aaron M. on March 15, 2012 at 8:15 PM
I hate flying so much. I'm flying out of San Diego tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it at all.
From Tim Odom on March 16, 2012 at 6:44 AM
@ Carrie - Not USAirways, it was Southwest. I usually have good luck with Southwest, but this time was so far out there it was rediculous.
From Doug Jenkins on March 16, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Not to mention they first told the delay was because of paperwork! We all need to drive if we can.
From Anon Mouse on March 16, 2012 at 10:48 AM
I'm not sure comparing the customer service problems of airlines with that of Disney is helping much especially since Disney has well documented service lapses. Certainly, when a ride breaks down at Disney, it is a great inconvenience to guests. Sometimes they never return, thus a Fastpass is useless. You get no vouchers for that. (Of course, some will report that they do.)
Airlines must operate in stricter regulation of the Federal Government. I noticed that the more the government gets involved, the worse the customer service becomes. Gov't regulation becomes the ceiling rather than the floor where courtesy is usually extended. So the airlines try very hard to be incompliance with the law to avoid lawsuits. As a result, they are within the law, but forget to put on a happy face.
As for why airlines put on bogus flight times, there are laws on the books that say when a flight is late. There must be a scheduled time. It cannot remain open ended. The fact that a crew change happened cannot be anticipated if the mechanic said the plane could be repaired, but later reneged. Thus, you are saying they are lying when it isn't quite as easy as that.
From Mark Hollamon on March 17, 2012 at 6:00 AM
@Annon: I have, in fact, received a new complimentary fastpass when a ride is out of service for any length of time. It doesn't happen every time and you must def ask for it in a courteous but firm fashion.
Disney employees are people too and realize what commitment you have made to vacation at the resort.
From Anthony Murphy on March 17, 2012 at 7:42 AM
Very true and a very good observation about rides breaking down.

My mother brought this treasured recipe into our family from a trip to New Orleans. A muffaletta sandwich is a kind of sandwich that originated in the French Quarter made up of layers of Italian deli meats and cheeses served on round Italian bread with an olive spread, and it is the olive spread that earns the concoction its distinction. However, as my mom learned, the spread can be enjoyed just as much on its own, with pieces of French bread
or specialty crackers used to scoop up as much as can be carefully balanced.
I can't remember the first time I made the muffaletta spread, but I know that I brought it once as an appetizer to Thanksgiving. We were spending the holiday with my husband's family that year, and it was such a big hit that it's now my perennial assignment. (Jeremy, of course, is not so thrilled about this – he'd rather I bring or , than what he's dubbed the "icky purple stuff.")
This year, my sister-in-law Melissa missed out on the muffaletta at Thanksgiving, so I told her perhaps I'd make it for Christmas Eve. You should think about it too – easy, super delicious, and you probably already have half the ingredients in your refrigerator or pantry.
As this will be my last posting in 2011, let me add that I am grateful for the place that food holds in our culture. It gives us the opportunity to come together around the people we love and share in celebrations and sorrows, in everyday and extraordinary. I can't wait to make and share Christmas Eve lasagna with Jeremy's parents and siblings (which is a tradition I carry on from my mom), and then to soak in the aromas and conversations that will swirl around my parents' kitchen during the creation of one wonderful meal after another and offer time to catch up with my own brother and sister, her husband, my grandparents, aunt and uncle, and cousins. I feel truly blessed.
Merry Christmas!
Muffaletta Spread
- 1 cup pitted Spanish green olives
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh horseradish (you can substitute prepared if necessary)
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Dash of Tabasco
- Dash of Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ cup olive oil
Combine first 10 ingredients (all except olive oil) in the food processor until you reach a coarse consistency. Stir in oil. Refrigerate for one hour, then serve.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
busuan, you are correct in many ways. People do solve problems by coming up with ingenious simpler methods for overcoming obstacles. The problem is that this is a game. One definition of a game is a system where we humans create "artificial" obstacles via rules and restrictions and then try to over come them. It's these created obstacles that create the fun when we overcome them. Soccer wouldn't be soccer if the obstacle of not using your hands was removed, and a player that found a way to creatively over come that, while ingenious, would be in a way not playing soccer anymore. AVR is similar (and DBM too in my mind though the community has seemed to accept it) in that the obstacles that are specifically created are either reduced or removed completely. I mean, taking the raid assistance mods further, (ignoring the agreements we made with Blizzard) why not have them move the character to where they should be.
Of course, like many things in life, there is a whole scale of what sort of assistance goes against the spirit of the game (created obsticles) and what sort is just a missing UI element. Thinking about DBM, I don't run it, and the Blizzard default UI tells you everything you need to know. With name plates, cast bars, boss emotes, and other visual indicators we have everything we need to succeed. For example, I used to die to void zones on KT a lot until I disabled my scrolling combat text completely (it didn't really provide any critical information) and could clearly see the zone under me. That made me realize the more I pay attention to the game and the less I play attention to ten other things that supposedly make things easier, the better I do.

The A&E reality TV star, who's an expert in pest control, has agreed to undergo substance abuse treatment.
NEW ORLEANS — William "Billy" Bretherton, star of the A&E reality TV show "Billy the Exterminator," has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of possessing synthetic marijuana, his attorney said.
Bretherton was put on probation for a year and prosecutors dropped charges against his wife at a hearing April 19 in Bossier Parish, attorney Allyn Stroud said Tuesday.
He said Bretherton was given a suspended 60-day jail term and fined $500 and that the reality TV star has agreed to undergo substance abuse evaluation and treatment. Bretherton's probation requires community service and regular drug and alcohol testing, Stroud said.
When Billy and Mary Bretherton were arrested last year in Bossier Parish, a spokesman for the northwest Louisiana municipality of Bossier City said police answering a 911 hang-up call from a hotel room had found the Brethertons with suspected synthetic marijuana and a device often used to smoke drugs.
That happened in April 2012; police got an arrest warrant in June after tests found synthetic marijuana on the device, Mark Natale said.
They were booked with one count each of possession of synthetic marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Both charges against Mary Bretherton and the paraphernalia citation against her husband were dropped.
A&E has not answered requests for comment in the case.
The show follows the spiky-haired, leather-wearing Bretherton as he responds to calls to trap or kill various pests.
Calls and emails to Bretherton's pest-control company, Vexcon LLC, were not returned. A residential listing for the Brethertons was unavailable.

After Bollinger in relief of Vinny Testaverde led a furious comeback last week against the Chargers and brought the Jets within five before a late rally faltered, he was handed the reigns.
Today, Bollingers dream turned into a nightmare in his second career start. The Jets turned the ball over six times and Panthers claimed their sixth straight win by steamrolling the offensively challenged Jets, 30-3, before 66,825 fans at bank of America Stadium.
Bollinger threw four interceptions, the last of which was returned 35 yards for a touchdown by Panthers (7-2) LB Will Witherspoon. It was an emblematic end for a dreadful day for Bollinger and the Jets offense.
The third-year quarterback had completed his first 91 career passes without an interception, but in the second half was intercepted three times in a span of four passes.
Bollinger threw his first career pick in the third quarter and it was costly. The Jets marched to the Panthers 24-yard line but Bollinger under threw a pass to WR Laveranues Coles, who had a step on CB Ken Lucas. But Lucas hauled in a rather easy pass, and the Jets offense came away with nothing.
Lucas again intercepted Bollinger on the Jets next series, which led to the Panthers second touchdown. RB Stephan Davis (27 carries for 81 yards) capped a 10-play drive with a two-yard touchdown run, extending the Panthers lead to 17-3.
On the ensuing kickoff return, rookie KR Justin Miller fumbled at the 32-yard line after being hit by CB Ricky Manning Jr, The Panthers recovered, and that led to a 42-yard field goal by John Kasay.
The Jets (2-7) next possession had a familiar ring to it. WR Justin McCareins had Bollingers pass go off his hands and Carolina CB Chris Gamble picked it out of the air. It led to John Kasays third field goal, and the Panthers extended their lead to 23-3.
Witherspoon joined the festivities on the next possession with his interception, Bollingers fourth of the half. Bollinger (11 of 21 for 98 yards) had a paltry quarterback rating of 28.8.
Even with Bollinger, who was sacked four times, struggling, the game couldve been salvaged. It appeared the Jets big break came with 5:59 left in the third when DE John Abraham stripped Panthers QB Jake Delhomme on what players and officials initially thought was a fumble. The referees did not blow the play dead, and S Rashad Washington picked up the ball and returned it for a game-tying touchdown.
However, Panthers head coach John Fox challenged the play and replays revealed Delhommes arm was moving forward. It was the closest the Jets, who are winless on the road this season, would come to scoring a touchdown. The offense had a 10-play drive, which featured eight runs, ended when Mike Nugent kicked a 22-yard field goal.
The Jets offense mustered just 214 yards. RB Curtis Martin had a decent game, rushing 19 times for 75 yards after coming into the game averaging just 3.4 yards per carry. However, even Martin was not infallible today. He was stripped by LB Dan Morgan and lost a fumble for the first time since 2003. The Jets defense bent but didnt break, holding the Panthers to a field goal.
The Jets defense, which held its version of an all-staff meeting earlier in the week, held the Panthers to just 220 yards. Their offense came into the game averaging nearly 28 points per game, but if not for Jets turnovers, was held in check.
-RB Cedric Houston made an impact on special teams and offense. Houston had 10 carries for 53 yards. The rookie tackled Panthers punt returner Chris Gamble for a loss in the first quarter.
-Two of the Jets first three downs were by penalty.
-Bollinger turns 27 years old on Tuesday.
-Rookie S Kerry Rhodes, who has one interception this season, nearly added another when he had a ball go off his hands with 10:15 left in the third quarter.
-CB Ty Law intercepted Delhomme after RB Stephan Davis couldnt hold onto a ball and tipped it into the air. Law leads the team with five interceptions.
-S Eric Colemans second interception of the season halted a Panthers drive.
-Jets Inactives: QB Kliff Kingsbury (3rd QB), QB Jay Fiedler, RB Derrick Blaylock, FB B.J. Askew, CB David Barrett & LB Kenyatta Wright
T Jason Fabinis left the game and was replaced by T Scott Gragg on the Jets third possession. Fabini was seen on the sideline with his left arm in a sling.
-RB Derrick Blaylock (ankle): Out
-QB Jay Fiedler (shoulder): Out
-S Oliver Celestin (knee): Questionable
-LB Kenyatta Wright (ankle/knee): Questionable
-WR Harry Williams, Jr. (knee): Questionable
-QB Vinny Testaverde (calf): Probable
-RB Curtis Martin (knee): Probable
-WR Justin McCareins (Achilles): Probable
-FB B.J. Askew (hamstring): Probable
-WR Lavernues Coles (rib): Probable
-C Pete Kendall (back Probable
-G Brandon Moore (pectoral Probable
-LB Victor Hobson (groin): Probable
The Jets road ahead gets no easier as they visit Denver next Sunday for a date with the 7-2 Broncos. Kickoff is 4:15 PM EST at INVESCO Field.

Nepal Reels After Terrorists in Iraq Kill 12 Hostages
- Wednesday, September 01, 2004
Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - The Himalayan kingdom of Nepal was in shock Wednesday after news broke that terrorists in Iraq had killed 12 Nepalese workers and posted graphic images of their corpses on an Internet website.
At least one of the 12 -- all civilian workers who were taken hostage last month -- was filmed being beheaded while the rest were shown being shot dead from behind.
The footage was posted on an Islamist website, which said the Nepalese were killed by a group called Jaish Ansar al-Sunna.
According to a translation of the message, also posted on the Internet, the group said the killings were carried out "at Allah's command" against the Nepalese who had come to Iraq to work for "the crusader forces."
In Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, protestors took to the streets, and hundreds attacked a mosque, chanting "we want revenge."
The Himalayan News Service said the 12 men had gone missing on August 19, just after entering Iraq from Jordan in two vehicles.
The gruesome murders have focused media attention away from a bloody Maoist rebellion in the kingdom which has cost some 10,000 lives over the past eight years.
After an emergency cabinet meeting, Nepal's government issued a statement calling the hostage killings a "barbarian act of terrorism."
The government, which is not a member of the U.S.-led multinational force in Iraq - it says its forces have their hands full dealing with the Maoist insurgents - called on the international community to take "stringent action" against those responsible.
Nepalese media report that opposition parties have accused the government of not acting with sufficient urgency to end the hostage crisis.
Minister of state for foreign affairs Prakash Sharan Mahat sought to defend the government, saying it had no inkling that the captors would kill their hostages without even making public demands.
Dozens of foreigners have been seized by extremist groups in Iraq this year, and the kidnappers generally have made demands.
They have usually called on hostages' governments to withdraw from the coalition - or in cases where the governments are not involved in Iraq, to pull out their civilian nationals working in the country.
The whereabouts of three Indians, three Kenyans and an Egyptian seized on July 21 remain unknown. Their captors had threatened to kill them if the transportation firm they were working for did not stop its operations from Iraq.
A group holding two French journalists has threatened to kill them if the French government does not rescind a recent law banning Islamic headscarves and other conspicuous religious symbols from public schools.
A deadline set by the group, called the Islamic Army of Iraq, passed Tuesday with Paris refusing to give in to the demands, and no word about the journalists' fate.
Last week an Italian journalist was killed by terrorists who demanded that Italy withdraw troops from Iraq. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has vowed not to back down under threat.
The kidnapping tactic has worked most obviously for the terrorist groups last July, when the Philippines withdraw its small military contingent from Iraq after kidnappers threatened to kill a civilian Filipino hostage.
According to terrorism researchers, Jaish Ansar al-Sunna, translated "army of the defenders of the faith," is a group comprising Iraqi Sunni and Kurdish extremists as well as non-Iraqi Arabs, which first declared its existence on the Internet in September 2003.
The group is believed to be an offshoot of or successor to Ansar al-Islam, an al-Qaeda-linked Islamist organization based in northern Iraq before last year's war.
Jaish Ansar al-Sunna has been linked to various terror attacks since the fall of Baghdad, including twin suicide bombings targeting two Kurdish political organizations in Irbil last February, in which more than 100 people were killed.
It also claimed responsibility for the killing of seven Spanish intelligence officers in a Nov. 2003 ambush.
Researchers say there is evidence the group has received help from Iran - especially in infiltrating fighters into Iraq, where the terrorist group has taken root in the area around Mosul.

Score from 27 reviews Excellent
Staff friendliness
Music was too loud in bar
The staff was great. They were very prompt and we're willing to chat.
The room had odd stains and the shower is all glass. It can be kinda creepy if you are staying with someone other than your significant other because you can see everything.
fantastic hotel with staff that couldn't do more for you. Highly recommend.
Nice design
No hottub on the pool deck. For the money we paid, many better choices in Atlanta. Hotel was much smaller than I thought.
Awsome amenities and good location... the room decor was real modern and young. .. i would definitely stay there again
In the morning the window covers cover all sunlight except for one little beam right over our heads into our eyes...
You can't beat the location.
The hotel overall was dirty. The floors needed to be vacuumed. There was long dark hairs all through out the bed I slept in. The bathroom needed extra cleaning. The room needed to be dusted. The wifi cost $15.00 a day. There is a shuttle service within 2 miles of the hotel that was advertised but was never available for us to use. I paid $900 for three nights and it was not worth it. Parking was an extra $90. I would suggest staying somewhere else.
Staff was very nice and helpful.
The staff that checks you in was fablous! No issues. All request were granted and the bar staff was professional and knowledgable in their craft. Gym was great. Loved the views!
Front desk staff was very helpful. Good fitness area and pool. Excellent location near downtown attractions and Marta for transportation.
Have to pay for WiFi in the rooms!
The location was great for the areas we wanted to visit
The room was filthy, I have seen Days Inn's that have cleaner rooms! For someone to pay $200.00+ a night I would rather not have a window so scummed over it obstructs the view, nor un vacuumed carpet and filthy walls! I also find $30.00 for parking a bit on the extreme side for paying guests. This hotel presents itself as a nice luxury get away only to be a supped up roadside motel.
The staff, especially the Front desk and Valet, were very friendly and welcoming.
No vending machines in the hotel. Not everyone wants to go to the lobby to get a bottle of water or soda.
Fresh smells...cleanliness...professional staff
I called to get my car 2 days and when I got downstairs the car wasnt there...I called for a bellman to get my luggage and noone came.
Design hotel very fancy Excellent service Excellent fitness facilities Close to Coca Cola world center, very nice to visit
No breakfast included, the breakfast offer is rather expensive
Service on every level is outstanding at the W
the shadowy shower that you can see through the room is a little strange.
No glass shower door Television didn't swivel
The location.
My 2nd nights stay.. I called twice for my room to be serviced to no avail. Spoke to the same guy both times with no results.
Everything! The ambiance, comfort, cleanliness, location, parking, and professionalism.
The location was perfect for the events we were attending. Easy access to get in after the day was done and it was nice not having to find a parking spot. Holla!
Valet was my only safe option in parking. The valet attendants lost my car twice and the first time i had to go in the garage myself to get it for them. The second time we waited an hour before they found it.
I have stayed in many 4 star hotels in Atlanta, the w is nicer than any of the big area hotels at $300/night. Staff was great, check out at noon, two bars on property. Very modern design - hotel rooms that look like penthouses including glass showers , views and dramatic lighting. I would give this hotel a 10 out of 10 and will be going back. &Quot;GREAT job W!!!!"
Staff was friendly
Phone did not work when dialing extensions also cab to zoo could have been free if checker cab was called not sure why hotel is not aware
most everything here is far too expensive for what you're getting. several of the machines in the fitness room did not even work!
2 mile shuttle service, large corner room all glass with wonderful view, excellent restaurant

Found Love?: Sophie Blackall's Missed Connections Art
Did you find love through Craigslist's addictive Missed Connections section? First of all, we're going to need to hear all about it, but after that you should have your first, fleeting moments of connection preserved forever in a custom painting.
Sophie Blackall's Missed Connections illustrations are graceful and evocative- I particularly like I Gave You My Umbrella But The Wrong Directions and We Shared A Bear Suit- and capture the magic of Missed Connections at their best. She's received numerous requests for custom paintings, but what with this project and her moving collaboration with her father, Drawn From My Father's Adventures, she's been too busy...
Until now, that is! I asked her nicely, and Sophie said she'd be happy to do custom illustrations for lucky lovers. Commissioned paintings would be approximately 11"x17", would cost $5,000, and you'd need to allow at least one month for completion (she'll be able to give you a more accurate time frame, depending on her current schedule). Contact her with your tale, including the Missed Connections text and a photo of the happy couple, if you're interested in placing an order!

Ha! I had someone post about me on "Missed Connections." Pretty cool. This is a gorgeous art piece and makes it even cooler to recognize the hilarious nature of Missed Connections. In Chicago I went to a "dramatic reading" (comedy) of people reading REAL Missed Connections. It was SO funny! But this turns funny into beautiful.
i love this series! i've always thought the ice skating one and the one about putting up the girl's coat collar were really sweet. Such a fun idea.
These are really sweet but this was not my recent experience with missed connections. I don't know if it's the town I'm in but a good half of them were dudes expressing in not so subtle terms what might transpire on a "date" with them. *shudder*
I met my boyfriend on missed connections! Ever since I heard about them, I've read them religiously everyday. I met my dream man (a shy, shabby chic, hipster with black curly hair and blue eyes) on a patio. he asked me for a cigarette...but I saw he had a pack in his pocket. it was clearly a not so subtle way to stike up a conversation. I missed the oppotunity to exchange contact information with him, and after two days of kicking myself I thought I would post a missed connection about him. I heard back from him within the day! Been living together for two and a half years! Love love love this idea <3
a lingering look, a subtle touch, spoken words then they simply disappear out of your lives and you have to wonder what your life would have been if you had made the first move. This is what i love about when i read missed connection posts.
Remember, Life is far too short so live it up! make mistakes, laugh, love and live.

Like vitiligo it spreads across your brain cell
Whistles its addictive rhythm to your spell.
Like Alzheimer it eats away your memory
Bewitches your mind to apocalypse a la gory.
To the addictive evil hand your soul you sold
That's procrastination; it devours your whole.
Procrastination prods like a knife blade
Confines you to a space you can't escape.
Procrastination's a sweet pill you hardly resist
So addicted you become that you can't desist.
At the abyss of laziness your intelligence lies
Your mind's killed daily as your creativity dies.
Procrastination is an addiction with a price tag
Indolence, un-productivity inter alia in your bag
You shop until your thoughts are eroded
And your mind's consumed until all idea's faded.
Procrastination's an addiction to battle to its grave
You win until you silence and abandon your crave
For the enticing cadence it plays on your brain.
Only then will you be un-addicted again.!
