Eliminating electoral college in the United States
I just want to hear your opinions on if things would be better if electoral college ceased to exist in the United States.
Eliminating the two party system in the United States?
Rich Curren
Dec 10 2012: My first reaction would be "Yes! Things would be better!", but if that's my answer I think I have to pinpoint what problem the EC elimination would solve.
- +1
The EC is far from perfect, and by all accounts is not operating the way the framers intended (and even if it did, that might be even worse). It leads Presidential candidates to focus on a handful of states while campaigning (because not acting that way would likely lead to defeat), and has in the past handed victory to the candidate that didn't not carry the most votes nationwide (see Gore V Bush).
On top of that it unnecessarily complicates the process while also leading voters to believe, because in many cases they are correct, that their vote "doesn't count" (because the direction of the their state electors is a foregone conclusion: Utah, California ...).
But my biggest fear is with the ever-expanding partisan divide coupled with the fact that states manage how their electors are assigned. What happens when states start getting "creative"? This is already happening in Ohio where a Republican-controlled state house is trying to have EV's apportioned by congressional district (not PV), and those CD's have already been gerrymandered by the same R-controlled body. It may sound crazy, but gerrymandering does have an impact, in 2012 Dems won 2M more votes than Republicans in house races, yet won fewer house seats. Had Presidential votes been assigned that way the "will of the people" could have easily been subverted and chaos would ensue.
So in short, I say buh-bye to the EC. But bigger problems (in order) are the money in politics that has perverts the process (or, campaign finance reform) and voter suppression and voting practices that need a national overhaul.
Dec 11 2012: 116.1 million people voted last month. 59.3M (51.1%) voted for Obama. 56.8M (48.9%) voted for Romney. The will of the people (who bothered to vote unlike the 28.8M who could have voted but didn't bother) was clearly (2.5M people) that Obama should be POTUS for four more years. The EC came up with the same decision. So what's the problem?
Dec 11 2012: I think that the EC and the popular vote have only been different a couple of times in history.
Rich Curren
Dec 11 2012: My point wasn't that the will of the people was subverted in this election, but that it could be in the future with the state-based CD-driven EV allocation example I mentioned above. We've seen Republican-controlled state governments pass crazy laws in the past couple of years (from anti-Sharia law laws, to forced ultrasound) so I wouldn't put anything past them. I realize this sounds partisan, but it's fact-based.
- +2
I will also add that Al Gore won 500,000 more votes nationally than Bush in 2000. Regardless of how you judge the quality of Bush's leadership (or prognosticate on how well Gore might have governed) you don't see a "problem" with that?
Lastly, the current numbers are actually "better" (higher turnout/more clear winner) than you stated: The winning margin is actually closer to 5M votes, Obama is sitting at 50.97% to Romney at 47.29% and 128M people voted. Could that be even higher with a straight PV model?
Given all this I'll boil it down and ask three questions:
1-Do you think a President should be elected with a smaller share of the popular vote, as happened in 2000?
2-Would you be happy with some states allocating their EV's in a manner inconsistant with the rest of the nation? Knowing that doing so would skew the EV count and potentially the outcome of the election.
3-There are currently 7-10 (swing) states where each vote is effectively more "valuable" because the margin of victory is low. This inevitably leads voters (red and blue) to believe that their votes "don't matter". Do you believe more people would vote if they knew each vote would truly be counted? (Please table for a moment the notion that people SHOULD feel compelled to vote in any circumstance, consider actual human behavior, be it personally acceptable or not).
*And yes, that last one is subjective, speculative and maybe even leading. Respond as you will!
Dec 11 2012: 1) EV votes are tied directly to population, about 1 per 279,000 voter I think. 39 states can vote for X and the remaining 11 can vote for Y. If the Y states are CA; TX; NY; FL; IL; PA; OH; MI; GA; NC; and NJ then Y wins based on 56% of the population voting for her/him. The other 39 states only represent 44% of the population.
2) I think no EC members have ever gone rogue even though, legally, they could. They vote according to the general election results. Anyone attempting to gerrymander the system should be shot on sight for treason.
3) People do not make voting decisions based on their perception of whether their vote counts or not. Those irresponsible people who choose not to vote do so because they are apathetic and uninformed, they are too busy with other things. Those who do choose to vote do so because they want to promote a desired agenda.Dec 12 2012: Thanks for entertaining my questions Ed! (*Can I call you "Ed"?)
1) I have to admit, you lost me with the math, but what I believe you're arguing is that if EV's are connected to population (which is true) than it's mathematically impossible to have an EV/EC split? Or is it more of an interesting fact that the 11 largest states can overpower the other 39? Regardless, in 2000 GW Bush got 50,456,002 vote and Gore received 50,999,897 for an PV advantage of approximately 1/2 a million votes, yet Bush won the EC 271/266 and with it the Presidency. The SCOTUS actions aside, I personally don't think that's acceptable (*and that goes for D or R).
2) I'm sure there's some tongue-in-cheek with the "treason" part but you might be surprised to know that it's already happened and has for years. Maine and Nebraska both award their EV's by Congressional District. It hasn't been an issue because historically these are not swing states and they don't carry a lot of EV's. In 2008 Obama, for the first time in modern history, carried one of NE's 5 EV's (CD2/Omaha). Now, Pennsylvania GOP Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi wants to follow that same model. If that happens in other heavy EV swing states that normally swing Democratic (Ex: MI), and does not happen in other swing states that normally go red (Ex: Georgia) you have a rigged system. And we agree states are fully within their Constitutional rights to award their EV's however they please so nothing is stopping them.
Michigan has already done the CD gerrymandering, now they just need to attach EV's to the CD's.
3) I agree people normally cast a vote to promote an agenda, but it's pretty hard to ascertain why people DON'T vote. I believe the reasons you noted have merit, but I have a hard time believing voter turnout wouldn't go up with a PV system.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Dec 12 2012: I do answer to "Ed".
1) [First, a detail: 271 + 266= 537. Aren't there 538 EC delegates?] The only way Bush could have won was if he reached 270 EV's which, of course, only one candidate can do. Your figures show that Bush did that. I am ignorant of the details regarding the 27 Florida EV's, but I think it was an anomaly.
2) I'm serious. Gerrymandering should be punishable by law. I am sorry to hear it has begun, but we cannot throw out the baby with the bathwater. Hunt those conniving bastards down and lock them up! Thanks for the link.
3) I see no reason to think ignorance and apathy would be reduced by abandoning the EC. I firmly believe the end effect of not voting is to support whoever wins, simply because the non-voter did not vote against the victor. This is a MUCH bigger problem than the EC.Dec 12 2012: 1) Weird. Good addition by you and good point re: 538. The FEC stats say there was one abstention. WTF?
2) Agreed.
3) Mostly agree. Abolishing the EC won't wipe out apathy but I think it would help.
While I don't have any sympathy for those that don't vote, I'd also like to encourage voting in any way. I don't think that's the job of the Government, but at the same time if Gov can do something to help, why not? Conversely, the Gov should not be making it harder for people to vote either (see recent "voter ID" laws). I'm a little torn here.
How about making it a crime to not vote? What about making election day Saturday? What about automatic registration when you get a drivers license? What about vote by mail in every state? What about same-day registration? The last three have been done and do lead to better turnout ...
Dec 12 2012: Good exchange sir. Eisenhower said, "The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter." It is too bad that the word "American" is not understood to be the same as the word "voter". Thank you and be well!Dec 12 2012: Right back at ya' Ed, it's been a stone groove my man!Dec 10 2012: This was discussed at length recently.
Short answer learn about why the Electoral College exists in the first place.

When Nubbins the cat was found, he was emaciated, riddled with birdshot, and had tumors hanging from both of his ears. But the minute he was removed from his carrier by his rescuers, he started purring. He knew he was finally safe; relief was here at last.
Dr. Patricia Wagner, a veterinarian at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, performed surgery on the sweet feline and fell in love with his kind demeanor. Soon after, Nubbins joined Dr. Wagner's household. He is incredibly grateful for his second chance and gets along swimmingly with the family's resident parakeet.
In fact, kitty and bird are stars of the 2014 ASPCA calendar. Check out this adorable behind-the-scenes video of Nubbins sitting for his photo shoot.
Have you received your 2014 calendar? Want another one for friends or family? (They make great gifts!) Make a small donation to the ASPCA, and we'll send you our 2014 calendar today. Thank you, as always, for your support. It makes stories like Nubbins' possible.

Gavrielle B. shared the following story with us about meeting Chelsea, a spunky little dog at the ASPCA Adoption Center, after waiting years to meet her perfect puppy match. As it turns out, Chelsea was well worth the wait.
We had wanted a puppy for years, and adoption was the only option for us. We knew we wanted to adopt a female puppy that would grow up to be a small to medium-sized dog. When Chelsea's litter became available, we visited the Adoption Center and Chelsea's golden coat and spunky personality won us over.
We had never adopted before, and we visited the Adoption Center for the first time in September to start looking for a puppy. We went back to the Adoption Center to walk through the available dogs once more before finally meeting and taking home Chelsea.
The adoption process was surprisingly straightforward and quick. Before we met Chelsea, a behavioral specialist gave us lots of information about typical traits of her breed so we knew what to expect. We also really enjoy going to puppy kindergarten every week where the behavioral specialists help us train Chelsea as she gets older.
We spoil her with toys and attention. She loves running back upstairs after her walks outside to play at home. Chelsea is the princess of the apartment and she knows it!

The U.S. Farm Bill is very close to completion. The House and Senate have each drafted versions of this five-year bill, and starting today, a committee made up of about 20 senators and representatives are meeting to iron out any differences and present a final, unified bill.
We have the opportunity to strike a major blow against animal fighting in this Farm Bill. The Senate's version of the Farm Bill contains a provision to make it a federal crime to be a spectator at an animal fight—this language mirrors the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, a stand-alone bill with an astounding 216 House cosponsors—that's very close to half of the entire body!
Since the Senate passed identical legislation during the last session of Congress and the current version is supported by nearly half the House, the bill seems poised for success. However, if we can get the Farm Bill conference committee to keep it in the Farm Bill, it's a done deal: We won't have to wait for the House to take a vote on the stand-alone bill.
It is important to note that spectators at animal fights are not there accidentally; they intentionally seek out these illegal activities at secret locations, often traveling long distances and crossing state lines for the entertainment of watching animals fight to the death and the opportunity to gamble on the barbaric event.
You can help! See if your U.S. representative is already a cosponsor of the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act—and if not, ask him or her to sign on. The more support this bill has in the House, the more likely it is that the Farm Bill committee will chose to leave the same language in the Farm Bill. Thank you, animal advocates!

Today, in honor of National Cat Day, we're teaming up with Cheezburger, the online humor network, and Uber for a special three-city event, "I Can Has Uber Kittens." For only $20 (with 100% of the New York proceeds benefiting the ASPCA), cat lovers can order a special "kitten car" to bring furry felines to their office for some exclusive kitty playtime!
Uber drivers in New York, San Francisco and Seattle will transport the kittens, accompanied by shelter volunteers as chaperones, from each city's partner shelter. As a thank you for every visit, Cheezburger is including a delivery of designer cupcakes created by celebrity pastry chef Duff Goldman, star of Ace of Cakes on The Food Network. In addition to the proceeds from each kitten visit, Cheezburger will make an additional donation to all three participating shelters.
This fun and lighthearted event was created to highlight the importance of making pet adoption your first option. There are millions of cats in shelters across the country that may not be a part of the Uber kitten car but are still uber cute and waiting for a home!
Follow the action on ASPCA Instagram, ASPCA Twitter and ASPCA Facebook from 10 to 3 EDT using the hashtag #iCanHasUberKittens.

Making your bed is something your mother told you was a requirement in life, so for years you probably didn't do it. But now, after all those years of mutiny, some holiday company is coming to your house and you're not sure how to start putting your bed back together after all these years.
Do you even have the proper bedding and linens? What's under the bed? Give your bed a finished look and hide the junk underneath by adding a bed skirt. A bed skirt should be the size of your mattress and has either ruffles or panels on two or three of the sides. It lies between the top and bottom mattress. The next layer on a well-made bed is a mattress pad; they come in various prices and cushion thickness. There is an amazing difference in your comfort level when your mattress is covered with a mattress pad. Next, on top of the mattress pad, fitting on your top mattress with elastic corners, is the fitted sheet.
Fitted sheets are easy to put on your bed unless your sheets don't come with elasticized corners. In that case it's time for the hospital corner. Line your flat sheet up with the top of the bed and making sure the sides are hanging down evenly. Tuck the end between the top and bottom mattress. Stick your whole arm under there to make sure the sheep is snug and lying flat. Take the corner of the sheet directly below the end of the mattress and bring it up to the top edge towards the top of the bed forming a rigid triangle. Holding your triangle in place, tuck the remaining fabric between the mattresses. Perfect corners!
Now comes the blankets and comforter. Veratex Toscano Bedding will add a beautiful new look to your bedroom. The soft elegance of the opulently traditional Toscano bedding collection by Veratex Bedding makes this ensemble the perfect centerpiece for your bedroom décor. The collection features a blush ground adorned with elegant embroidered emblems in warm taupe, finished with beautifully tailored flanges.
Last but not least are the pillows. For a comfortable and a polished look you'll want at least four pillows. Two should be covered in regular pillowcases, and the other two should be covered in decorative shams that will bring the look of your bed together. Add a nice throw blanket at the foot of the bed and your room is complete.

COHDA: Recycling Design Factory at Dott 07
One of our favorite eco-design visionaries Cohda Design recently brought its amazing recycling design process to the public by staging an interactive event that showed off its recycling machines and allowed the public to participate in the process of turning plastic bottles into beautiful designer chairs.
As part of the Design Council's Dott 07 conference in Newcastle UK, Cohda Design created the Recycling Factory, a live public display that "allowed visitors a front-row seat in viewing a range of recycled products being born." Members of the audience were asked to bring along plastic waste that was then transformed by Cohda's U.R.E. process, creating a range of functional design objects. Culminating two years of research, the aim of U.R.E. (the un-cooled recycled extrude process) is to "(A) view waste packaging as a valuable resource as opposed to an ecological difficulty, (B) utilize the embedded energy present in waste plastics, and (C) generate a new recycled design aesthetic."
This live-show technique, pioneered by Design Miami/Basel this summer that showcased designers working in open studios throughout the exhibition space, is a new take on the design process, signaling the rise of a "design as performance" model. Over the nine-day event, running from October 20-28, the Cohda space filled what started off as bare display occupied only by a set of machines that would produce these second-life plastic designs.
Along with many individuals and enterprises hoping to spread an awareness of their work and highlight their process, an archive of time-lapse movies from the Recycling Factory can be found on the Cohda website.

This was such a great post!!
For those who love art or design and wanna take environmentally-friendly associated concepts and media to a whole new level!..this was definitely something to feast our eyes on. Artists have the opportunity to think ouside of the box and be more adventurous and original with the medium they use..
Taking recycled products and transforming them into something practical for day-to-day use, funky and fresh, and orginal. Now this is what I call "conscious art"!
This was truly inspiring!

Douglas-Nolichucky Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan
Land Management Planning Process
General information
TVA develops land plans to facilitate the management of 293,000 acres of public land around its reservoirs. Plans are developed with participation by public agencies and officials, private organizations, and individuals. By providing a clear vision of how TVA will manage public land and by identifying land for specific uses, a reservoir land plan minimizes conflicting land uses and guides decisions on requests for use of public land.
Land plans include an environmental review conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The level of environmental review of the Douglas-Nolichucky Tributary Reservoirs Land Plan will be an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Douglas-Nolichucky reservoirs have no previous land management plan. The scope of the Douglas-Nolichucky Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan will include all of the TVA-managed public land — approximately 3,200 acres — on two tributary reservoirs: Douglas and Nolichucky.
What is the process?
The reservoir land planning process is a systematic method of identifying and evaluating the most suitable use of public lands under TVA stewardship. It uses resource data, computer analysis, and public input to allocate land uses to the following land management zones:
- Project operations
- Sensitive resource management
- Natural resource conservation
- Industrial
- Developed Recreation
- Shoreline access
See definitions of these zones.
How does reservoir land planning relate to access rights for private water use facilities?
TVA defines access rights as property rights across TVA-owned shoreland held by some adjacent landowners. These rights provide access to the water and allow the landowner to request TVA permits for proposed docks and other water-use facilities. The Reservoir Land Planning Process will not change the existing access rights of adjacent property owners for the use of TVA land.
How is the public involved in the planning process?
Early in the planning process, before any decisions are made, TVA invites comments from the public through the public scoping process. The purpose of public scoping is to gather information from diverse agencies, organizations, and individuals who are users of public land and water. This information helps the planning team identify key issues and concerns to ensure that reservoir land plans address public issues while meeting TVA's objectives.
How does TVA use public input?
The information generated during public scoping will be compiled and analyzed. The planning team will use this input to help form reservoir land plan objectives and to guide allocations in developing a draft land plan. After reviewing public input on the draft plan and addressing public comments, TVA staff will submit a final plan to the TVA Board for approval.

Hurlingham 4 Player Croquet Set
Top-of-the-range championship set will add a distinctive touch of class to your game.
Our top-of-the-range championship set with four international quality square mallets.
Jaques made a set similar to this in the days of the British Raj, and supplied it to Indian potentates through the East India Company. To go with their Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts, we even made sets for the Maharajahs. A famous one even had solid ivory mallets. This fine Hurlingham croquet set in a box continues this famous tradition, a reputation gained over many decades. The set contains two each of our Colonial and Laser Tuftex LV mallets, the Laser Tuftex models featuring a new protective face material developed by the company over the last few years, the Colonial models harking back to those earlier times and still made to the same famous design. Matched Championship balls in a smart canvas carrier and Association cast iron hoops and hoop drill are the finest available, together with Championship corner flags and yard line pegs, a hoop smasher mallet and a gold-lined, color-banded winning post, to show order of play. Enameled metal hoop clips and ball markers complete the set, with Jaques' basic rules and instructions for croquet and golf croquet, the Official Croquet Association Rules, and Anton Gill's lovely illustrated book on the history of croquet, which also has a wealth of other information and tactical advice. The set is presented in a beautiful polished solid mahogany cabinet which will, with care, last a lifetime.

ETSU men's soccer receives first ever NSCAA/HendricksCars.com Regional Ranking
Requires Adobe Flash
Monday, September 27, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 27, 2010)
- The ETSU men's soccer team received its first ever NSCAA/HendricksCars.com Regional Ranking as the Bucs were voted eighth in the South Region, announced the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) on Monday.
"The players have worked hard in training and games, and performed well to this point in the season," said head coach
Scott Calabrese
. "The regional ranking is a reflection of this. I am very pleased with our progress and with our focus. I believe the players have a great deal of spirit, and they want to continue to build on our season thus far."
The Bucs (5-2-0) have won three straight at home, defeating Winthrop 2-0, Marshall 2-1 and UNC Asheville 2-1. Junior
Aaron Schoenfeld
(Knoxville, Tenn.) has had a goal in three straight contests as he netted the game-winners against the Thundering Herd and Bulldogs.
North Carolina is ranked No. 1 in the South Region, while Atlantic Sun foe Florida Gulf Coast is ranked just above the Buccaneers at sixth. The Bucs and Tar Heels matchup on Oct. 30 in the final home contest of the 2010 season.
"We now have two very important games this weekend," Calabrese said. "Our goals revolve primarily around our results and performance in conference play. We must be ready for a big challenge against Campbell come Thursday night.
ETSU is set to face Campbell Thursday at 7 p.m. at Summers-Taylor Stadium, while the Mercer Bears come to town on Saturday at 7 p.m.

This heated throw earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it generated the most consistent heat on the highest heat setting and was the most comfortable in comparative tests. The Best model fluctuated by only 1.14� F across its surface, proving to be 48% more consistent than other throws. The Best Heated Throw recorded the highest average temperature over three hours and reached a comfortable 10� F above ambient temperature at its peak. Unlike other throws that were made from thin, itchy fabric, The Best Heated Throw is knitted from plush 100% polyester fleece with an impeccably soft sherpa lining. The Best model withstood repeated cycles in a washing machine without pilling or fraying. The tethered digital controller allows users to easily adjust the temperature to six settings, the blanket's 13' long power cord enables optimal positioning, and it automatically turns off after 10 hours of use. Sage, Chocolate, Taupe, Spice, Denim. 62" L x 50" W.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Best Heated Throw comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Best throw I have used
By Broadway Danny Rose
from Shrewsbury, MA
See all my reviews
The micro-fiber material is soft and strong and the many heat settings ensure that you don't overheat, while providing ample heat where needed.The one noticeable issue is the cord location, which is attached at the top center near the feet. This causes two problems: 1) The cord connector occasionally gets caught under our "zero-gravity" recliner. 2) The length of the control cord is too short, which sometimes causes the control to slide off our side table and onto the floor when the recliner is lowered. Both of these problems can be managed, but it takes a little getting used to. This all assumes you use the blanket as directed, with the label facing out at your feet. Perhaps placing the label at the top end (which I usually have done with heating blankets) might mitigate these issues.If you use it as directed, probably the best single improvement would be to lengthen the control cord so there is plenty of slack to set the control down next to where you are sitting and not have it pulled away when you get up. (The plug cord, which plugs into the wall, is plenty long enough, however.)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Best Heated Throw....really is !
By Sharsie
from Placentia, CA
Love the feel and look of the throw. The temperature settings are varied so you can get exactly the comfort you seek. The temperature is set and doesn't fluctuate unless you change it.
Awesome heated throw
By Picky Peg
from Racine, WI
The fabric's softness and flexibility on both sides naturally hugs and relaxes the body and relives mental stresses of the day. Ease of assembly and disassembly of the electric cord makes storage fast and convenient. Best heated throw I have ever experienced. Can't thank you enough.

The Best Heated Throw
By Robyn, recently returned to the cold
from Vestal, NY
Based on other reviews, I knew the cord placement may be an issue. To hopefully alleviate this concern, I placed my throw sideways across the bottom of my full-sized bed. The only things I need to be careful about are not covering the cord with blankets placed on top of it and not getting out of that side of the bed at night.The throw heats up quickly and keeps me warm all night; I've had to turn it down because it's so good at its job. It's incredibly soft and considerably lighter in weight than any other electric blanket I've used. I love that the thin wires don't poke me while I'm sleeping.It does get staticky due to the fleecy side. I'd prefer to have the smooth side on both faces of the blanket, but that's just me being nitpicky!I've been using it nightly here in NYS and am already considering purchasing another one!

The heated throw was very nice and as advertised. Our puppy ate through the electric coil so it doesn't work anymore. I'm definitely considering purchasing a replacement for it.

Subject: Thank You for Visual, Aromatic and Culinary Joy! (Waterloo, ON)
Received: Tue, 16 Jun 1998
I'm visiting your web site for the first time (just got internet access) and I'm taking this opportunity the say how pleased I have been in dealing with you over the past 2 years. I love visiting your greenhouses in person, but since I no longer have a car I have been shopping be mail ( now E-mail too ). My garden is doing beautifully!
The mugwort I planted just last year is now nearly six feet high, and I'm getting 2 or 3 harvests every year from oregano and basil. A local chef has even created a new salad dressing from fresh herbs from my garden, and a wonderful mint cheesecake from the pepper- and spear-mint I harvested last year. Thank you for helping make my garden a visual, aromatic and culinary joy!

|A KosherEye Chat with Zipporah Malka Heller & Shifrah Devorah Witt
We are continuing our conversation with Zipporah Malka and Shifrah Devorah, the mother/daughter authors of The Best of Mexican Kosher Cooking.
What was the defining moment when both of you decided to collaborate on a cookbook?
SD: By trade I am a writing consultant. I was working on a client's manuscript, ghost writing a large part of it, and I remember sitting in a café and wanting so badly to help him publish the book; he was writing it for family with no intention of taking it to a publisher. Then I thought about it and said why is it I am more committed to getting him a book deal than myself? I had a vision in that café that within a year I wanted to publish a book. When mom asked me to collaborate with her, I jumped at the chance.
Why did you pick out Mexican cuisine as the topic for your second book?
SD: Again, mom was the visionary, but she had my full support. We live in Israel and I can't tell you how often I hear Americans wishing there was a Kosher Mexican restaurant here. I felt a kosher Mexican cookbook was the next best thing we could offer them. Also, we came from CA where kosher Mexican is easy to find, and we were lucky enough to enjoy lots of it. So once we were here, I started to miss the flavors of the Mexican palate. When I miss a cuisine enough I start to cook it, and one thing leads to another. That's how we came out with two cookbooks in two years.
The book is a collection of recipes that represent different regions of Mexico. What were your criteria for determining what type of Mexican recipe would be considered for inclusion in the book?
SD: We closed our eyes, thought about the flavors of the past that we missed and started making a list. Then there were the classic recipes we felt should be included. So between part A and part B the table of contents was set.
Do you work on recipe creations together or do you each "do your own thing" and then discuss/test/taste the recipes?
What is a little known fact about each of you?
SD: I really cook because I love to eat. I think that cookbook writing has come out of necessity; creating recipes has been a way of eating the food I missed from my past, and that didn't exist in my present. I joke about myself that if I lived in a kosher metropolis like NY or LA I would be perfectly happy to eat in restaurants or order take-out every night.
What are your favorite kitchen "must have" tools?
SD: I love long metal tongs and a hand-held blender.
What is your absolute all-time favorite cuisine? (one pick each)

Hang tight!
Recipe by Cindy Capps Lepp
"Mom made them because they are cheap, and now the convenience stores sell them in the South! You must have a fry screen -- these darn things pop and will burn you! Serve with pepper gravy or a packet of chicken gravy.
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound
chicken livers
1/2 cup
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 quart
vegetable oil for frying
Rather than immersing in a deep fryer, I pan fried the liver under medium heat, using less than half a cup of walnut oil. Once both sides were golden brown, I turned off the heat and let them cook completely. If you have a glass covered saute pan, that helps to keep an eye on the livers without them spattering out of the pan. I also dumped the leftover flour mixture into the leftover egg and milk mixture (add 1/2 tsp sugar and 1 tsp baking powder) and poured out small pancakes in the pan. The garlic is REALLY strong in the pancakes, but they were a perfect accompaniment. Both are delicious!
This is a mixed review. First, the taste (especially with hot sauce) is really very good. However, the making of these are hazardous. I had to turn off the flame twice to make sure the oil that splatters and leaks didn't hit the flame before I could clean it. Also, if you eat too many of these, your stomach will be mad at you.

I added some hot sauce to the dredge liquid...tasted wonderful! Also I did fork them and that really works, no popping at all! Great tip you guys!
This is one of my favorite foods EVER. I add a little Johnny's seasoning salt to my flour with the garlic powder. This is heaven. Great thing about this dish, too, is you can almost always buy the ingredients for this on the cheap. NOTE: You can do this with chicken hearts, too.
To prevent (or at least reduce) popping and possible burns, puncture the livers before frying. I use a cooking fork and poke away, puncturing each liver at least 5 or 6 times. Then follow the recipe as written.
Awesome! My son loves chicken livers (as do I) and when he tasted these, his exact words were, "These are possibly the best chicken livers I have ever tasted!" They were tender, yet crispy and sooo tasty. I did what Cindy posted last....I floured them first, then dipped in egg and milk mixture, then back in the flour. I fried them in a skillet. They were wonderful! Thanks, Cindy!
I love fried chicken livers- i grew up on them, but my husband was hesitant to try them. However, he ended up LOVING them. Followed the recipe to the letter. Thanks so much Cindy, we will be making this again for sure!!!
When I was very young my mother would fry chicken livers but I never liked them, so she would eat them herself. I do remember her just dredging them in plain flour and frying. I want to assume it is because of the addition of spices to the flour and the egg/milk mixture is the reason why I liked how these tasted! I was reluctant to try liver again - but it has always been in the back of my mind to give it another chance because they are very good source of iron. I am glad I found this recipe cause I will definitely make these again. I ate them on toasted bread with lots of ketchup and pepper sauce (chicken liver sandwich - lol!) and I really enjoyed the garlic flavour in there. I used black pepper and cayenne in the flour as the pepper suggested in the recipe. Thanks for a new twist on an old "not-so-favourite" of mine. It has definitely made me change my mind about eating liver.

No, Dredd 3D is not an adaptation or inspired by a specific storyline.
Alex Garland did consider adapting one of the more well known Judge Dredd storylines such as Origins, but decided that that he would not adapt such a big epic and instead went for an approach of writing an original story - a kind of 'day in the life of Judge Dredd'.

Although he would like his future to be decided by the end of the month, Nico Hulkenberg concedes that in F1 one has to be patient...
Although he would like his future to be decided by the end of the month, Nico Hulkenberg concedes that in F1 one has to be patient.
The Sauber driver is believed to be on the verge of signing with Lotus for next season, however, it all depends on money.
If Lotus secure the sponsorship they want, the team has stated that want Hulkenberg on the books. But if they don't, they may have to look for a pay driver.
For now, though, Hulkenberg is still hopeful.
"That is what I hope for," he said in an interview with ESPN. "See everybody wants to have security rather sooner than later, but sometimes, things take a bit longer and don't happen overnight and you've got to be patient.
"That's the game in Formula One.
"There is still no news, still no decision in terms of my future. Still having contacts and negotiations with a couple of teams so we're still in the process of sorting it out and hoping to select the right one."
Pushed on the Lotus situation, the German said: "We're talking, obviously, and there's always updates and situations but I can't really talk about it in too much detail."
However, before Hulkenberg agrees to move over to Lotus, the 26-year-old wants a few guarantees of his own, one of which is that the team is financial viable.
"Of course that's an important point nowadays in Formula One, just for a team to be able to keep the development up, to keep going, to keep being competitive. It is an expensive sport to run if you've noticed; it's no secret.
"I think for the team, for themselves, for Lotus, I think it is important to find that deal and finalise it and have the security and stability."
Asked whether he had concerns about reports that Kimi Raikkonen had not been paid his salary by Lotus, Hulkenberg, who went through a similar situation with Sauber earlier in the season, insists he's not worried about it.

"Things change and I'm not super worried about that. I think you have three or four big teams which are financially quite stable. Everybody else is struggling a little bit in terms of finance so it's difficult."

ICBA Statement on Release of 2007 National Money Laundering Strategy
Washington, D.C. (May 4, 2007)—Camden Fine, the president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Departments of Treasury, Justice and Homeland Security's 2007 National Money Laundering Strategy:
"ICBA supports the agencies' efforts to fight money laundering and the criminal activities that it funds and supports. Community bankers are committed to adopting balanced, effective measures to stop terrorist financing. We commend the agencies for their continued diligent efforts to address this issue and safeguard our country's banking system.
It is important to recognize that the nation's community banks play a critical role in these efforts. ICBA looks forward to continuing to work with the federal government and law enforcement to help safeguard our nation's banking system. At the same time, we encourage them to offer additional information and guidance for community banks and continue making every effort to focus efforts and resources where they belong: detecting and deterring money laundering and not reporting routine transactions."

Which is pretty off-topic, since we're discussing Editors, and the post you (part-)quoted was about standardized keybindings.Hm, it was about the "user interface" actually, which is not restricted to the keybindings. So I was, maybe, wrong.

New year, new 'do: Suri recently debuted bangs, which she may have cut herself. (INF Daily)
The gossip world was obsessed with Suri before she was even born. In 2006, TomKat mania was in overdrive, conspiracy theories ran rampant (Was their relationship real? Was "Kate" really pregnant?), and Cruise himself fueled the gossip machine, sharing the unusual story of how he purchased a pricey sonogram machine for on-demand tracking of fetus Suri's development.
[Related: Did Suri Cruise Cut Her Own Bangs?]
After Holmes gave birth to the blue-eyed baby at an L.A.-area hospital on April 18 of that year, the couple "joyously" announced her arrival via a statement -- and shared the origins of her unusual name. Suri was Hebrew for "princess" -- or, in Persian, it meant "red rose," the statement noted.
However, what the statement didn't say was that "suri" also means "pickpocket" in Japanese and "horse mackerels" in Italian, and is a form of a French verb meaning "to sour." Those discoveries led to jokes aplenty on the Internet.
Further, Hebrew linguists were stumped by the claim that Suri meant "princess." At the time, name expert Jonathan Went told the media it had just two meanings -- one being a person from Syria, and the other the expression "go away" when spoken to a female.

"I think it's fair to say they have made a mistake here," Went said. "There are variations of the way the Hebrew name for 'princess' is spelled, but I have never seen it this way."
[Related: Stars Step Out With Their Kids]
The name brouhaha didn't bother Cruise. In the Vanity Fair article in which Suri made her world debut that fall, the proud papa gushed about the couple's name choice, though he omitted its supposed Hebrew origins.
"We had the name before we found out because we both thought the baby would be a girl," he told the magazine. "Some friends of ours sent us two [baby-naming] books. When we came to the name Suri, we both loved it. And we both said, 'Suri Cruise.' We later found out that it meant 'red rose,' and that was just a bonus. Suri -- it was perfect."

And became a 'razzi fave by being extra adorable - like the time she had a chat with her doll. (Splash News)
While many of the monikers celebrities have given their offspring have boosted the popularity of that name, that hasn't happened with Suri.
"Suri has inspired a scattering of namesakes but hasn't really made an impact on name trends," best-selling name expert Laura Wattenberg from BabyNameWizard.com tells omg!. "That's not surprising because celebrity examples only move style in a direction parents are already eager to go. The baby's name matters far more than the parents' fame. You can see that even within a single famous family: Gwen Stefani's elder son, Kingston, inspired thousands of namesakes, while her younger son, Zuma, had virtually no copycats.
"Even when unconventional Hollywood names don't spark baby name trends though, they still influence the sound of our times," Wattenberg continues. "They encourage parents to be creative with their own choices, and help fuel the drive toward more and more distinctive names."

As for what we can expect from Suri as she embarks on her next year, we turn to Allie Hagan, who cracks us up with her popular blog, Suri's Burn Book. According to her, you just never know!
"It's been seven years since she made the most mysterious celebrity baby debut ever, and she hasn't yet been outdone," the author of "Suri's Burn Book: Well-Dressed Commentary From Hollywood's Little Sweetheart" tells omg!. "I know I at least will never get tired of her outfits, her posh lifestyle, her eye-rolling -- and how just when you think you've got her figured out, she goes and cuts her own bangs."
Co-sign. Happy birthday, Suri!

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
We are in the process of trying to develop two new courses here in Colorado Springs. One of the properties was previously proposed but rejected but this time we have a City employee on our side.
So the property has been split into two sections. The first is for the competitive or short course. It will be mainly a par three and possibly par four setup. The other part is the championship course which will be a lot longer. On the championship course we have a par 6 and two par 5s. There are also par 4s and par 3s. It is very long and this Saturday will be our first chance to actually play the entire course. We have been going out two to three hours at a time and putting in two to three holes at a time. It is also quite tiring to walk the entire course as it could well be over two miles in length with elevation change as well. I am guessing that one round could take about three and a half hours. This is not a course designed for recreational or casual players. It is a course designed to test the ability of more experienced players. This is a course that could put us on the map and our goal is to definitely push the envelope of course design.
Most people that we have run into have been very supportive of our efforts with the exception of three people that we ran into the other day. They started lecturing us about the wildlife and asked us if we had permits to be out there. We explained that this was already in the works. They really didn't want to hear it and were pretty antagonistic towards us. Oh well, you can't please everybody and there are bound to be people against your cause.
This Sunday we will be trying out the three designs for the short course and the following week we will be doing the same for the two long course designs. Reviews will be given for everything.
In the end we are hopeful that we will be getting two new courses. I really hope so as that piece of land is about two minutes from my house.
Views: 155
wait.. you met 3 hippies that out hippie a hippie sport?
Sounds Great !!! Best of Luck in getting multiple courses in !!!!
Sweeeeet! Good luck! Next time I'm out that way I'll have to check it out.
Got some bad news today. While we were out Saturday we ran into three people who were apparently neighbors and not exactly fans of disc golf. One person had a small saw which we were using to cut some wooden stakes. Those neighbors came up to us and started acting hostile and yelling at us. They demanded to know if we had permits to be there. We tried to explain what was going on but they didn't want to listen. Anyway, today we got news that they had complained to the County and that we are supposed to cease all course design and remove all of our flags and stakes that we had put out there. I am quite upset but I also feared that something like this might happen. After all, we were asked to design a course on land that had not even been approved yet.
I am upset to say the least. Just not much I can do about it. I did send an email to a lady who works for the County explaining our position. We need to get the word out that the County needs to hear from us, the disc golfers, that we are not the bad people that we are being portrayed as by a few angry neighbors. I let her know that I am in charge of organizing yet another cleanup day at Cottonwood on October 13 and that we partner with the Colorado Springs Forestry Department in that effort. We are not crazy people running around and cutting down trees. We are civic minded people just wanting to get a few good courses in our town.
Welcome to the club. And it's a big club.
There are perils in proceding without clear approval from the government department that controls the property (which is how I read your post). Heck, there are perils inproceding WITH their clear approval.
Neighbors who think of the park as their personal playground, and environmentalists who see wilderness in every drainage ditch and vacant lot, are a regular hazard to course installation and continued existence.
I wish you the best of luck in working this out. Sounds like a great project.
Thank you. Well I did get an email back from a lady with the County Parks today and it was still very positive. They have even budgeted money for 2013 for "disc golf improvements" at that park ($6000). So it looks like things are still on track but we need to take a step back and let the process continue. The County has also informed us that they will trying to work with the neighbors as well.
Last night I was pretty down about the whole thing because we had made some great progress and our 18 hole design was finally complete. However, it could be a while before we get another chance to actually play the course. Up until yesterday, my friend and I were planning on going out today to finally play all 18. Guess that will have to wait for another day.
Just to ease my confusion---are baskets in, or are you playing the course without baskets?
Anyway, good to hear things aren't as dire as you thought. Try to keep good relations with County Parks because if it comes to a conflict between you and the non-disc-golf advocates, you really need the Parks Dept. on your side.
No, no baskets in yet. We were simply trying to get a design in that was playable. So we were marking tees with flags and using wooden stakes to mark out basket positions. Since we had different teams putting up different designs we were going to put in some temporary baskets and then play the different designs and review them. That all sounded good but seems to have drawn the ire of a few neighbors. So that part of it has been put off. The good thing with our team was that we had finally completed the design of all 18 holes.
Yes, we want to stay on the good side of the County people as they are on our side.
yeah it sounds like the neighbors just made a snap judgment without really looking at what you guys were doing.
good luck with the completion.

"AGOA at 15: Charting a Course for a Sustainable U.S.-Africa Trade and Investment Partnership"
The U.S.-Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum, commonly known as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was held last week in Gabon. AGOA is the centerpiece of the United States government's trade policy with Sub-Saharan Africa. It was recently renewed for 10 years by the U.S. Congress. The act, which was originally signed in 2000, provides 39 sub-Saharan African nations with liberal access to the U.S. market. The 2015 forum marks the 14th year that government officials, business leaders, and civil society from African countries and the United States have convened to promote trade, business, and investment opportunities that sustain economic development in Africa.
Join us on the next edition of Straight Talk Africa for our live, one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast, when host Shaka Ssali and his guests discuss the latest developments from the AGOA meetings held in Libreville, Gabon.
Question of the Week:
AGOA has been extended for ten years, what more can be done so the program can help African businesses reach their full trade potential?

skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup
sour cream
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh rosemary
Our whole family loves this recipe. If you don't mind that the chicken won't be as brown (it's covered in sauce anyway), try covering the baking dish for moister chicken, and you won't have the problem of a sauce that's too thick, either. Absolutely delicious, and a nice creamy consistency to the sauce.
The flavor of this was ok, although I think it was a little bit too piney for my taste.
60 Ratings
Very good. Followed the recipe the first time I made it and would like to have the chicken been more brown and the sauce less thick! It was still tasty and moist, but next time will add some garlic, milk and will brown the chicken.
Very GOOD! I only had dried Rosemary and somewhere I read that you only use 1/3 of dried herbs called for in recipes if they call for fresh, but I ended up adding the whole Tbs anyways. But some of my dried rosemary was still hard after it was finished so I would definatly use fresh next time. Added a small amount of milk ad served the sauce over my baked potato also. We loved it.
This was a great recipe!! I tweeked it some tho, I made it for 4, and added 4 cups uncooked rice with the soup mixture. Nestled the chicken in the rice bed, covered and baked for about 40-45 min till chicken was done. Stir the rice before serving. It's a great way to have a flavored side dish with the chicken. My family really liked it
This is sure to become one of the recipes I make often -- it is easy and very tasty. I used the herb-flavored cream of chicken soup, which gave another nice layer of flavor to an already wonderful dish. Fresh rosemary is a must for this recipe. Adding some milk to help thin the sauce a bit, as some other reviewers have suggested, is a good idea.
I loved this recipe and it was a big hit for dinner. Even my finicky 7 yr old liked it! I added 1 tsp of minced garlic and 1/2 a cup of white wine to the mixture before pouring over the chicken. I also seared the chicken first before baking it but it really wasn't necessary. A nice easy recipe that I'll use again. Yet one more way to make chicken.
This is such a quick and easy dinner- and it's great for leftovers. I thin the sauce with a little milk and some chicken broth and also add rice to the dish.

Caught this one on the mind-mapping blog: TreeSheets - fast, visual organisation for notes.
Its homepage is here: http://treesheets.com/.
It has a very unusual approach, and its interface might take some getting used to (its unorthodox use of mouse wheel, e.g.), but having tried it for the last two days, I have to admit it's very addictive. The first time you launch it after installation, a short tutorial (sample) document is open. Follow along and you'll be amazed at what it can do. (And if you're not impressed, or don't like its approach, it's pretty safe to uninstall it right away, for you've seen all it can do.)
Warning: it's a very young product, so don't expect it to do everything your favorite note taker can do.

Ace Hood gets personal on Trials & Tribulations, his fourth full-length album and first for We The Best Music/Cash Money Records. It's more than just a collection of songs for the gold-selling Florida MC. In fact, it tells his story.
"It's my journey," he explains. "It's a reflection on my life up to this point. It's what I represent. It's what I believe in. It's my faith. It's my hunger for success. I've endured a bulk of things personally and professionally. I went through these Trials & Tribulations to get here."
So where is Ace Hood at right now? Well, the irresistible and inescapable lead-off single from the album, "Bugatti" featuring Rick Ross and Future and produced by Mike WiLL Made It [Juicy J, Rihanna], gave him his second gold plaque (his first was for Hustle Hard in 2011) shortly after it dropped in early 2013. Moreover, it became a ubiquitous anthem, burning up radio, notching 21 million-plus YouTube/VEVO views, and drawing Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, French Montana, T.I., and more to a high-profile remix. Still, it was only a piece of a larger puzzle for the artist.
"This is a complete vision," he goes on. "On my past few albums, I was still figuring out who I am. This was the first time I was able to record and understand who I am. My sound is finally locked in. I know what I have to offer the game. I know the mark I want to leave on this hip-hop community. I know what I want to gain by creating this type of music. Every record has a deep meaning."
That holds true for the second single "We Outchea" featuring label mate and rap icon Lil Wayne. As "Bugatti" exploded, Ace joined Weezy in the studio to up the ante yet again. The result is a slick and sizzling banger that touts another massive hook and fierce rapping from both gentlemen.
Ace proclaims, "That's definitely an anthem. Being 'Outchea' is a lifestyle. It's about being on every scene. It's about doing what you've got to do for your family and loved ones. We've to be 'Outchea' to have anything in life. I soaked up the energy and saw how Wayne worked in the booth. I was happy to witness him create, and when it was done, I was ecstatic. You've got a guy who's on that level, and one who's aspiring to be there. It's awesome."
Elsewhere on the album, Ace's fierce flow drives the thoughtful "Testimony," while he ruminates on the ups and downs of the game with the pensive "Come Up." Then there's "Another Statistic," which looks back on his life and struggle.
"As a community, we should never want to just be another statistic," he continues. "Growing up, I didn't want to be like the dudes on the block who sold dope or ended up in the pen. I made up my mind that I wanted something greater for myself and my family."
He started working tirelessly towards that in high school. Sidelined by a football injury, the budding MC rapped in his high school cafeteria to the cheers of his classmates, realizing his gift early on. In 2007, he took a random chance and rolled up outside of DJ Khaled's radio station. Seeing the personality, artist, producer, and mogul in the parking lot, Ace handed him a package with a CD. Khaled called days later.
"I didn't think I'd even meet him," smiles Ace. "I believe everything happens for a reason and that day changed my life. He's 500 percent energetic all the time. He's always turned up. We're brothers. He gives me so much insight and input. To have someone like him believe me is amazing. We're in this together."
Khaled signed him to his imprint We The Best Music, and he went on to release Gutta in 2008, Ruthlessin 2009, and Blood, Sweat, & Tears in 2011, which spawned the hits "Hustle Hard" and "Body 2 Body" featuring Chris Brown. However, everything has been only leading up Trials & Tribulations.
This is his time. Khaled puts it best, "Ace Hood is going to be one of the greatest. He is We The Best Music. Don't ever forget that. He is a beast."
Cash Money Records co-Founder and C.E.O. Bryan "Baby" Williams aka Birdman agrees. "It's incredible to watch Ace Hood's rise, and we're honored he's part of the family. He's got true power and passion, and that's what it takes to be legendary."
This "beast" is loose, and he has his sights set on the top. "I want people to feel how real this music is," concludes Ace Hood. "If I can inspire or motivate one person, my job is done. I want to get that message across. I want to bring substance back. My passion and hunger have only increased with Trials & Tribulations. I'm becoming more of a beast."

Completed in 1800, the White House was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban. The main façade, shown here, echoes that of Leinster House in Dublin, a mid-18th-century structure that was originally the mansion of the Duke of Leinster; today it houses the Irish Parliament.
