I hate them. I know it's wrong. At least, I know my mother taught me it is wrong to hate. I know that the one time I truly hated a specific person, I felt awful about it. I still feel bad for 23 year-old me about that. My boss was an awful, horrible person, but I was the one wracked with guilt every night because I couldn't get over my hatred for her. I deserved to hate that mean-spirited woman with a clear conscience.
But I don't feel bad about hating prosecutors. They're evil. They don't view criminals (aka our clients) as actual people. They view everybody as guilty from the second the police report hits their desk. They expect us to prove our clients' innocence to them, not the other way around. They think cops are great. They don't see the problem with searching any and all cars stopped for routine traffic infractions. They don't believe there's such a thing as a coerced confession. They think coroners and crime labs work for them and them alone. They don't think any mistakes they make should result in a criminal going free. I'm pretty sure they kick puppies. (Ok, probably not that last one.)
Yes, I know, there are supposedly some good ones. A few. But secretly, I don't really believe that. Even the "good" ones get sucked into the culture sooner or later. And even the "good" ones secretly feel like they're on the good side and we're not.
I hate that every time I walk into the courtroom or write an argument to the court, I know I'm the better lawyer. I know I've thought more about the law, I know more about the facts of my case, and I have better analyzed how the law applies to my facts. And yet, more often than not, the prosecutor comes out on the winning side. Even when he admits he hasn't read the critical transcript. Even when she obviously doesn't get why the court is even considering granting my request. I hate that they are routinely validated as lawyers when I should have won.
I hate that their sloppy, half-assed work is accepted. But if I try to get the court to see something in a new light, I get reamed for not having any authority for my position. I hate that they can misstate the law and the evidence with almost no consequence. I hate that as a result, they hardly even notice how careless they are anymore.
I hate that prosecutors assume even I think I should lose. I will never forget walking out of the courtroom after arguing a suppression motion. I was absolutely dead-bang right on the law. The warrantless police entry into the home was completely unjustified. 9 times out of 10, I win that argument. But this tenth time, the evidence I wanted suppressed happened to be the dead body, the murder weapon, and the crime scene. The prosecutor had been grilled, but ultimately the court let her off the hook. It became clear that she would be the victor. As we walked out, she said she was glad that reason had returned to the courtroom. The thing is, she said it in a conspiratorial tone, as if I would naturally agree with her. I mean, I couldn't possibly actually believe the dead body should be suppressed. Could I? But I did. And to this day, I believe I was right on the law there and absolutely should have won. I hate that she genuinely doesn't get this.
I hate that they seem surprised to learn that I feel human connections to my clients. That it is in fact possible to see the humanity behind the heinous act. I hate that they are unwilling to see the whole person instead of just seeing the snapshot image from the moment of his or her crime.
I could go on, but I've already wasted too much time stewing about prosecutors. I know it's wrong to hate, but they just give me so many reasons.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is calling for new initiatives to help absent fathers re-engage with their children.
The president on Monday outlined plans to fund local projects that help train men for jobs, prevent domestic violence and take other steps to encourage healthy and loving families.

Another program will use courts to help find jobs for men just leaving prison. The goal is to have them paying child support and reconnecting with their children as soon as possible.
A day after Father's Day, Obama said that being a dad is not just an obligation. He said it's also a privilege and a blessing.

Joshua R. Dull faces up to 3.5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Sarah Olson faces up to $11,500 in fines and four years and one month in prison if convicted of all counts.
According to the criminal complaint, on Aug. 24, while Prairie du Chien police officers were attending to an unrelated traffic stop, Olson came up and began speaking with officers.
A strong odor of marijuana was coming from Olson's vehicle, the complaint said. A search was conducted of the vehicle and a marijuana smoking device with residue was found, along with a clear plastic baggie containing suspected marijuana.
The officers were then called away from the scene in order to attempt to apprehend a man in a different investigation.
A 27-year-old McGregor, Iowa man has been charged in Crawford County Circuit Court with one count of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and one count of possession of marijuana.
Thomas D. Wiemerslage faces up to a $26,000 fine and 13 years in prison if convicted of both counts.
According to the criminal complaint, as part of a narcotics investigation, Wiemerslage was seen standing in the driveway of a Prairie du Chien residence on Aug. 24.
Wiemerslage was holding a black safe and, as officers approached, he attempted to throw the safe into the garage near where he was standing. The officers looked inside the safe and found numerous (estimated at more than 100) small clear plastic baggies, some of which had a red bulldog design on one side and others which had a Grim Reaper design.

With the warm weather this past week, it's hard to utter the dreaded "W" word. But colder temperatures and snowy precipitation are inevitable of "winters" in Wisconsin.
No one seems to be able to predict the weather better than "The Old Farmer's Almanac," the 2018 edition released Sept. 12. Since the oldest, continuously published periodical touts itself as "the only weather prognosticator with traditionally 80 percent accuracy," it's understandable why so many Midwestern farmers and seniors put such great stock into the yearly projection.

3V0764.01 Many Lawlers: extended family (2/25/80)
going through the catalog again:
P: "Peggy Lawler… Mimi Lawler…Tree Lawler…"
G: "Tree Lawler?"
P: "Out there (gesturing)."
going through the catalog again:
P: "Peggy Lawler… Mimi Lawler…Tree Lawler…"
G: "Tree Lawler?"
P: "Out there (gesturing)."
Out for a walk on a windy day. We did not get very far when Peggy
remarked, "I'm [or am – unclear] cold."
G: "Shall we go back home and get warm ?"
P: "Yep."
"Hurts…neck" Gretchen.
So, Gretchen reminded me. I sat in my chair with Peggy and one of her
books on my lap. (My eyes get itchy from allergic reactions and I rub
them excessively, almost without noticing). Peggy turned, looked at me
(after I had stopped) and said "/do/ruhb/aiz/." Why?
What is THIS imitation all about ? Is it analysis by synthesis, i.e. does it
help Peggy understand another's meaning to try producing her own
first interpretation ?
A weaker help: does producing her own copy confirm for her ability to
make sense of what she hears ?
A NOVEL idea: could this imitation of speech be useful in elaborating
and/or exercising the new network of verbal links abuilding between
disparate frames that are object and event oriented ?
How can I answer these questions ?
Because in the worst periods of her allergies, Miriam slept better sitting
up, we bought her a king sized pillow. It is longer than Peggy is tall and
wider. Thus Peggy finds it perfect for falling on. Miriam tried to take it
away while Peggy was falling on it, "Mimi pillow." Peggy responded. "
Peggy pillow," and, after a pause, "My pillow." This is clear evidence
for her understanding of at least the first person possessive pronoun.
When Robby tried to lay with his head on the pillow, Peggy lifted that
corner and said, "Sleep on boards." — referring to our oak flooring.
Late in the day, she passed me at the table and said, "Get the pillow//
Down the bed." (Where // = pause.) Here we have two separated
phrases as before we had separated words. What is the quality of "the"
in these phrases ? First, she said something that could easily be
interpreted as "the" — because it was unaccented and the vowel was at
least close to a schwa. The initial consonant ? I believe it was /th/ in
both cases. What is the function of "the" in these utterances ? I can
see it as a pause-filler of no semantic significance but permitting a
continuous flow of speech which connects related elements together as
the caesura between "pillow" and "down" separates them.
We should attend closely to such utterances.
Spontaneous sentence apropos a piece of cheesecake left over from my birthday.
Peggy sat reading in the middle of the study floor. Was Gretchen sitting
with her ? I can't recall., but I know she was least in the room. Peggy
turned the first page, pointed at the picture and said, "Up // Pup."
(This is the large letter text of the page.) On other pages, she "read"
other names and words, singly and in multi-word phrases: Song, Black;
All, Tall; No, Pat. She also produced her own interpretations. Where
three dogs fell out of a tub into the water, she noted, "Dog wet //
Soggy." Peggy passed by the picture of three fish in a tree. I asked her
"What do you think of that fish in the tree?" She replied, "How bees ?"
The significance of this observation is that Peggy is obviously relating
uttered words and phrases to the specific pictures of her book "Hop on
Pop." Some of this relating is associational, e.g. the name "Black" with
the specific character (she doesn't know well color names). The role
of semantics is clearly evident in her interpretation of the "wet dogs"
picture. It is also probably implicated in her 'reading' of "No, Pat" and
"Up // Pup." This applies even more strongly to her reply "How bees?"
(An idiosyncratic production instead of "How can that be?")
I read this to Peggy for the first time today. It was very difficult to keep
her interested in any specific page long enough for me to read aloud
the relatively extensive text on each page. Realizing early that this was
a problem, I decided to see how far I could carry a straight forward
reading. I just barely managed — by using all of the tricks picked up by
being a father for ten years, pointing at the objects, verbal emphasis,
preventing her turning pages, etc. So "Hop on Pop" is a book of
pictures with words. "Cat in the Hat" is a storey book with pictures.
The episodic character of "Hop on Pop" is not only no draw back for
Peggy, she is clearly insensitive to, uninterested in, any extended story.

Text commentary: I am not proud of letting my frustration surface so much in this session, but it came from the technology (30 minute video tapes) that I couldn't afford as a grad student ($15. each, in 1970's). Times spent on re-reading "Little Black" etc. were lost opportunities for other data capture.

"What's the hardest part about writing a book?"
I've been asked this question a lot lately, and my answer is what you'd expect: figuring out which darlings to fight for and which to cut, weaving a cohesive narrative, and finding an author bio photo of me that doesn't have obscene words in the background.
You know, the usual.
What I did not anticipate, after my book was sold to a publisher, and after we finished the edits, was that actually telling people about my book would prove to be one of the hardest things I had to do. For the record, this should sound like utter bullshit. I mean, it sounds like utter bullshit to me. 11-year-old me has been waiting for this moment for COUGH COUGH years. And now we're being sheepish about it? WHAT THE HELL, GERALDINE?
But as a whole Pandora station called "Geraldine's Greatest Self-Disparaging Hits"

Link to character workshop topic: Hi this is a disaster
At least two of your recent role play topics: the little mermaid [except not really] - Alani meets Alston Byrne for the first time and accidently tricks him into thinking she's a mermaid, confuses Loki with low key. Oh yeah and she almost drowns. Don't worry. She still thinks the squid just wants to be friends...
when it rains, it pours - She meets with Alston the first time after the lake scene for dinner. But are his intentions really all that honorable? Alani seems to think so!
rainrain go away - Alani accidentally flirts with Brydon and he kisses her.
Commentary: SO! I have some wonderful drama planned for this wonderful ball of sunshine so I'm actually really excited for this.

Hey Puzzle, I know I already apologized for being so slow on you, so we can skip that part and go straight to the requirements so you are finally getting a review from me. Here we go!
You've been there a few times already so this looks all good of course. I'm going to have a closer look at your profile today and I won't make any grand speeches and just move straight forwards <3
Appearance: At first glance I can definitely see you expanded on this, which is always good to see because we cannot have one paragraph sections. It still looks a little short so I will try and give you some expansion advice of course. I have to say that I think the beginning of your appearance for Alani is a little unfortunate, because you are comparing her to her mother. But we do not know Alani's mother - and if you are entirely honest, we also do not care about her mother, because this is about Alani. So if you are going for the higher ranks, I would suggest you start differently, and you do not empathize these things too much. The part when you are saying whom she resembles more definitely works - but the comparison shouldn't be guiding your appearance, because it strays too far away from the character you are talking about.
There are a few awkward sentences/typos in here which I will just point out quickly before going through the content:
→ The beginning of this sounds a little crooked, and I doubt you can wear shows ;3
→ I do not mind long sentences but this is one of the cases where the reader loses the point halfway through. Commas or slashes definitely help to fix phrases like that.
→ I am not sure if you can call it a feature because it first made me think of something on her body.
Now, let's get down to business and talk about content. You mentioned the basics of her looks, but it is all scratching on the surface. I love the details like her shell necklace and the way it looks all tarnished from wearing it all the time. For future edits, I want to see more details. The first things that came to my mind were stuff like her general body shape and height, as you already mentioned the way she moved. Think about details like her skin - is it dry and flaky or oily? Does she wear makeup? If so, which colours does she use? How is Alani wearing her hair? I know you are really great at describing textures and colours from reviewing Brandy twice, so don't be afraid to bring these skills to Alani, too - don't tell me simple colours, give me pretty descriptions. Talk about her hands, about flaws - because flaws make our characters more vivid. Does she have scars, tattoos? Does she have moles? Does she tan or burn? You offer a good base, but there is a lot you can expand on. Bonus: how does she talk? Does she have an accent? Does she use certain talking patterns? I know this is a lot of input but consider the next profile review is Intermediate, so you can't offer too much information :3
I am sure reviewer #2 has to say some things as well, so I will move on to Alani's personality now:
I really don't want to ride on the grammar train for too long, but I have to say that I would like to see more proofreading in future ranks - both in profile and in threads. I wouldn't mention it but you have a lot of very long sentences where pronouns no longer match the beginning of your sentence, and that's sad because you are definitely saying good things. But they get lost when the sentences are too crooked. Let me give you two examples that jumped me straight at the beginning of this section.
→ When reading this sentence out loud, I am still confused where you wanted to take this - and therefore I suggest you to try the same and read long sentences out loud to see if you can still follow your own train of thoughts.
→ This is another very long sentence which you could break up, but the part I underlined was the one that put me off. When written like this, you make it sound like the girl's mother was not a stubborn child - and I doubt that this is what you wanted to day. I would pull the stubborn child part back, so it could be like this: Alani's mother[/u] often found herself arguing until she was blue in the face as she tried to reason with the small girl as to why it was important that they killed roaches, instead of just putting them outside or why they couldn't adopt every stray beast they came across at the local animal shelter - even though Alani generally wasn't a stubborn child.
This does not necessarily stand in opposition to each other? I came back to this because of the paragraph that followed this one, and I think you can ditch the first part of the sentence, because you are coming back to Alani not being the brightest lightbulb on the lamp - so you do not need it here.
Generally, I think you did very well on Alani's personality, and I think the way your organized your paragraphs makes sense. For future edits I would like to see more changes concerning typos and the structure of your sentences, because I think you can erase all those slips with more proofreading. You covered all the traits of Alani, and I like how she is actually flawed and you are pointing it out. Content-wise, you could tie in more of her relationships to others - be it family, friends, lovers or enemies, because you already did very well on involving current Hogwarts events such as the auction. For expansion, you can always add examples and dig deeper into the whys behind her traits, but you already did a good job on this. Now that personalities are not my forte, I am sure your second reviewer can give some more advice than I did. So let's move on!
History: I really love how you started with the history of Alani's parents, because these are most definitely my favourite kind of histories :3 Now, what do I have to say here. I have to admit that it started well and then it all seemed a little rushed? You mentioned Ilvermorny all of the sudden, while there was not even a hint she received a letter. I would like to see 1. more childhood memories 2. more details about her magic 3. more about her time at Hogwarts, although I understand she is a transfer and you couldn't fill in that much yet. Pay attention that you do not stray too far from Alani's life by talking too much about her mother - remember my first comment on your profile? We do not care that much about her mom, because this is about Alani.
Generally my biggest issue is that you need to proofread more - and often not in the way of having typos, because I make them a lot, too. There are many crooked sentences in each of your appearances, and that derails a lot of your hard work on painting a very nice image of Alani. I will just have a quick look at your posts and leave them to your second reviewer <3
You can guess that further ranking will require more variety than two different people, but I feel like the Alani in your profile matches the one in your posts very well, and I love how excited she always sounds. You offer a good post length as well and plenty to react to, so I will leave the rest for your second reviewer.
Without further ado, I am going to APPROVE you and @Alani Lua-Millers for BEGINNER, congrats and good luck with your second review <3 If you have any questions, feel free to poke me on skype!

Hey Puzzles! It's Alice and I will be your second and final reviewer.
As a character, Alani instantly strikes me as being consistent with the way you've described her in your profile. She's breezy, fun-loving, shoe-hating, and a giant ray of sunshine. Don't tell anyone, shhhh, but those are some of my favorite characters in existence. We all love some drama and heartache, some of which Alani has a little bit in her background, but to have a character who is strong enough to stand on their own two feet without that is a testament to the writer's ability. I'm not knocking those other characters at all, I promise - they make up a majority of my list. But building depth without that to help is truly impressive and I think you're doing a swell job in that regard with Alani. Thank you for that!
Your writing with her is - as expected - a breath of fresh air. That said, I certainly see what Tine mentioned when it comes to wonky sentences and the occasional typo or wrong word altogether. Almost as if your laptop might have auto-correct on it. My new one did when I got it and it drove me absolutely bonkers. If not, never fear, sometimes our fingers just like to write different words than what our brains intended. That is where the proofreading comes in. I know it's tempting to want to hit that submit button almost instantly after you've finished a post, but going back over it will do you and Alani a world of good. The same can be said of your profile, as suggested by Tine. For your next revision, I would go back over it a day after you've completed it with fresh eyes just to catch any mistakes that were made. Heck, do that with your posts too, even if they're already posted.
One thing that I've noticed is that you will paint vivid imagery of something in your posts and then will use that same description again in the same post, sometimes more than that, which takes away the effect of your word choice. I'm a huge fan of variety - it kills me to reuse descriptors more than once in a post unless it is on purpose and for effect. But hey, maybe you're not like that and think it's okay! If so, that's cool, but I think paying closer attention to that will help smooth out anything repetitive and get your posts to flow even better. That said, you find a lot of different ways to refer to Alani - my personal favorite being 'The Hawaiian,' as it's different, so no complaints there.
For the next rank, variety would definitely be key! Let's see how Alani interacts with other girls. We've seen her with Alston and Brydon, but maybe... a girl of her own house? You've thrown her out of her comfort zone already, more than once, which is absolutely awesome to see. She handles it all pretty well, too, despite the fact that it is all new to her. But I do like your attention to detail - she still feels lonely, even though she is happy for her mother. I might even suggest a thread in London where she is forced to be out of her element again in a large city that is, by all rights, pretty much the opposite of where she grew up. It can build on the fact that she is already feeling out of place.
Overall, I think it's safe to say that I approve Alani for beginner! She's got such spunk and she's adorable - not to mention I love the way that you write her. Squishy sunshine girls have a special place in my heart. For Novice, I would definitely take some time to proofread both your posts and profiles for any weird sentences and typos. That is something that is easy to do and will make one heck of a difference. Even read things out loud if you aren't sure if they work or not. I do it all the time! I also suggest showcasing some threads of her with different people, perhaps another girl, and in situations that show a different side of her character to flesh her out and add to her character depth.
Wonderful job, love! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on Skype or through PM.

The intelligence office of the U.S. Capitol Police warned all 1,800 officers last month of a potential for violence this weekend when the Nation of Islam stages a rally on the Mall to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March.
The newsletter, distributed via e-mail, warned that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan "has been accused of inciting violence against both Caucasians and police officers."
The newsletter acknowledges that there was no violence during the original march, which drew hundreds of thousands of black men to Washington and ranks as one of the nation's largest civil rights demonstrations. But "given today's negative racial climate and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement," it warns, "there are legitimate concerns that the second march may not be as peaceful."

AUGUST SPECIAL - PAINT ON THE PATIO WITH ROBBI FIRESTONE! Whether you are a tourist in Santa Fe wanting to experience something uniquely New Mexican, or a local in need of a mini staycation, a 15-minute drive from our historic plaza is all it takes. Indulge all of your senses at Buffalo Thunder every Thursday in August! Join renowned artist Robbi Firestone for a two-hour Paint on the Patio session under a gorgeous portal situated alongside the hotel's swimming oasis, and nestled against the elegant Red Sage restaurant. This creative respite from everyday life provides a physical, mental and creative "time out." Easels, paints, brushes and guidance are provided by Ms. Firestone, who encourages attendees to break the rules and paint according to their instinct and inspiration. Best of all, the class is a non-intimidating way to release one's inner artist in a sophisticated setting. The resort's Sommelier, Laurie Catizone has curated a mouthwatering list of viniferous offerings by the bottle and by the glass. Thoughtfully chosen and well-priced, adding some liquid inspiration to this experience is highly recommended! Also, Executive Chef Eric Stumpf presents scrumptious appetizers to accompany the sips and strokes. (Try the shrimp flatbread!) I highly suggest a night of it by booking dinner at RED SAGE after the class. The scallop appetizer– cooked to plump and succulent perfection - presented atop a bed of parsnip puree is sheer delight. Entrees range from locally sourced lamb to farm-fresh vegetables from the area. If the painting class, dinner and wine are still not quite enough, book yourself a room and stay over. Some rooms even have balconies and / or fireplaces. CHECK ROM RATES HERE. A great solo timeout, couple getaway, or girls-night-out! INTRIGUED? Why not make it a family affair at the Pool and Paint Party on August 27. No better way to bid summer farewell in the Land of Enchantment. Call the resort for details!
On May 19th, the fourth annual FOR THE LOVE OF COCKTAILS GRAND GALA will be held at Delano Las Vegas. This exquisite event brings the finest mixologists, cocktail bars and chefs together for a huge celebration of libations. But even more importantly, the event is also a three-day fundraiser for the HELEN DAVID RELIEF FUND, a breast cancer support fund for bartenders needing help with medical bills and everyday living expenses. The charitable organization was founded by TONY ABOU-GANIM (THE MODERN MIXOLOGIST) in memory of his inspiration and cousin, Helen David, the beloved owner of the Brass Rail bar in Port Huron, Michigan during a time when women business owners were rare. Despite fighting breast cancer twice, Ms. David lived 91 vibrant years. Abou-Ganim has joined forces with Back Bar USA and the United States Bartenders' Guild to expand the program by creating For The Love Of Cocktails! In honor of this great cause, I'm sharing my summertime twist on a Negroni which I first tasted from the hands of Tony Abou-Ganim, himself. Tony will also be conducting a fundraising bike ride for the Helen David Relief Fund during COCKTAILS & CULTURE FESTIVAL in Santa Fe, NM on Saturday, June 3, as a kick off to Negroni Week, a national fundraising effort. Natalie's Negroni * 3/4 ounce gin * 3/4 ounce Campari * 3/4 ounce Sweet Vermouth * 3/4 ounce grapefruit juice * Garnish: pinch freshly grated ginger * Build in double rocks glass over ice. Stir. Enjoy. If you're thinking about making your way to Vegas, I found some great Las Vegas hotel and flight packages on Vegas.com to simplify your planning. Hope to see you out there!
Saint Patrick's Day is coming up and everyone is looking for an excuse to let our inner Leprechauns out to play by knocking back some Irish whiskey! What makes this particular kind of whiskey special? As the luck of the Irish would have it, I've got a quick overview. Whiskey is made around the world, and each region - America, Canada, Scotland, Japan and Ireland – has its own set of regulations. Irish whiskey is made within its national boundaries, from grain, aged a minimum of three years in barrels, and typically has a light, fruity quality. Potcheen is the equivalent of American moonshine, meaning it is doesn't follow official laws of production or aging. Smooth and versatile, Irish whiskey's popularity and sales have quadrupled in the United States, over the last decade. In fact, it is one of the fastest growing spirits categories, worldwide. And, in congruence with global trends, new micro distilleries are popping up across the emerald landscape. Meanwhile, most well known brands have been bought by larger companies, helping them reach enthusiasts around the globe. Let's explore a few: Last year, the adventurous Irishman Tim Herlihy, Brand Ambassador for TULLMORE D.E.W., spent a month traveling throughout our fifty states seeking the most interesting St. Patrick's Day celebrations, and recording his findings. Along the way, he visited San Francisco's Buena Vista famed for its Irish Coffee, saw the world's largest shamrock in Georgia, and attended the world's shortest one-man St. Patrick's Day parade in Arkansas. His trip ended at the famed Dead Rabbit Irish Pub in New York City. See this interesting interview he did upon completing his trip and get his Irish Coffee recipe: Tullamore D.E.W. was the first to boast a triple blend of grain, malt and pot still whiskies, which impart sweetness, citrus, and spicy notes, respectively. Its name comes from Daniel E. Williams, the distillery worker who worked up to head honcho, back in the 1800s. While journeying, Herlihy is also introducing the U.S. to TULLAMORE D.E.W. TRILOGY, their new 15-year old version, which is thrice distilled, and aged in used bourbon, oloroso sherry and rum casks. With the power of William Grant & Sons behind the small brand, it is now sold in 80 countries, winning 35 gold medals in the last decade. JAMESON is perhaps the most widely known brand, and has seen huge growth here. Consistent, versatile and affordable, try it in place of vodka in a Moscow Mule (with lime and ginger beer) for your St. Pat's celebration. TEELING SINGLE GRAIN is made from malted barley. The Teeling family's distilling dates back to the 1700's, and the youngest generation has opened the first new distillery built in Ireland in 125 years. Teeling's tasting notes include fig, melon, citrus, vanilla, spice and cloves. BUSHMILLS is marked by clean, fruity notes, this pot-stilled whiskey has followed the same recipe for four centuries, and is one of the top sellers in the U.S. CONNEMARA is an enigma in the Irish category being the only peated version, giving it a rich smokiness. It's high proof so enjoy it with a little dilution, or as the base of a cocktail.
It is immensely exciting and humbling to have been voted a "Local Hero" in the area of Mixology in Edible Magazine's annual awards. I grew up Santa Fe, graduated UNM, then took my lil' BA in French and Theater and moved to Los Angeles so - like most dreamy-eyed actors and writers - spent most of my time catering, waitressing, cocktailing and occasionally bartending. I did singing telegrams (I'm a terrible singer!), was an Assistant at Miramax Films, and did pretty much everything to scrounge a buck until I got some kind of lucky break. Well, by the time a no-name gal hits her 30s, the possibility of "being discovered" in Hollywood diminishes to ashes. I escaped to Spain for a couple of years, worked in Paris for a bit, then, in 2004, moved to Washington DC and became a restaurant publicist. There, I got to work on the Kimpton Hotel bars and restaurants, and that's where I first heard the word "MIXOLOGY." Inspired by the history of spirits, classic cocktail recipes and bartenders muddling herbs into drinks, I left my job and, in 2006, started a cocktail blog called The Liquid Muse as I began to study, read and attend seminars about spirits and cocktails. Pretty soon I was writing national magazine articles and being flown around the world to visit distilleries, judge competitions and teach seminars. Looking back, it was dumb luck. Fast forward ELEVEN years… and I have THREE COCKTAIL BOOKS, dozens of videos, a slew of TV appearances, customized signature cocktails for celebrity events, CO-CREATED OM LIQUEURS, train restaurant staff, do product consulting, and I produce my own cocktail festival right here in Santa Fe (June 2 - 4). COCKTAILS & CULTURE FESTIVAL is a way for me to grow my business while giving back to our community. My decade-long ties to some of the most influential and KIND people in the booze business made it a possibility to reach out and say, "I want to help build a cocktail community here. Could you help me?" And, lo-and-behold, it still floors me to have these incredible people come to educate and inspire bartenders and home entertainers through seminars, tastings and parties during the festival. It also wouldn't happen without the support of the liquor brands who get involved. Big companies, small companies, local companies… they are all investing in our community through the festival. There are no words for my gratitude. It's just enormous. So, Cocktails & Culture also raises money for several organizations: Cooking With Kids; Children's Cancer Fund of New Mexico; and the Helen David Relief Fund which supports bartenders with breast cancer. The biggest compliment I can receive is that some of you out there consider my work worthy of acknowledgement, and that you see my desire to support the local culinary, mixology and tourism industries. Receiving this honor only makes me want to work harder, and give more. I am a champion all that we have to offer here. I want to be worthy of an award called Local Hero. Thank you.

In my cocktail classes, I always stress that if you can follow a cookie recipe, you can make cocktails! Mixology is the liquid element of the culinary arts so everyday kitchen appliances are commonly used, especially for homemade ingredients. Still, for properly executing cocktails, these are some essential tools to have in your home bar: PARING KNIFE AND CUTTING BOARD - Keep a designated bar set for cutting garnishes or halving lemons and limes for juicing when entertaining at home, or on a picnic. CITRUS PRESS –This handheld device is essential for easily squeezing fresh juice for a cocktail. To use it, slice the fruit in half, place the cut-half down (where the holes are) then squeeze it directly over the mixing glass. JIGGERS - These measure liquid in fractions of ounces. The most commonly found jiggers are metal and look like two cones connected back to back, with one being larger (usually twice the size) of the smaller one. Cocktail recipes call for varying amounts so it's helpful to have a few sizes such as ½ : 1 ounce, ¾ : 1 ½ ounces; and 1:2 ounces. MUDDLER – These long pestles are used to squash fruit, vegetables and herbs in the bottom of the mixing glass, thereby releasing their juices, oils and flavors. BAR SPOON – This long-stemmed spoon measures about ¼ ounce, and is used stirred drinks (ones that are all spirit such as the Martini, Manhattan, Negroni, etc). MIXING GLASS – This is a wide-mouthed glass in which cocktails are stirred. They can be a simple pint glass or a decorative, ornate vessel. COCKTAIL SHAKER –During Prohibition, a myriad of "disguised" cocktail shakers were shaped to look like art so as not to rouse suspicion that alcohol may be consumed on premises. Antique shakers are interesting conversation starters, and wonderful gifts for weddings and birthdays. Professionally or practically speaking, though, the Boston shaker is a great choice. This is comprised of a pint-sized mixing glass, which can also be used on its own for stirred drinks, or in conjunction with the slightly larger tin cup for shaken drinks. STRAINERS – there are 2 main kinds of cocktail strainers: The HAWTHORNE strainer is used in conjunction with the metal part of the Boston shaker. It has a coil around the perimeter, and holds back ice and other particles when straining into the cocktail glass. The JULEP strainer is slightly cupped, round, and dotted with holes through which liquid flows. Usually used for straining stirred drinks from a mixing glass, it gets its name from when people used them to hold back crushed ice while sipping Mint Juleps. ZESTER – These are mainly useful for garnishes, which are visual, aromatic and flavorful drink enhancements. ICE SCOOP – Even for home parties, this useful tool is easier to use than prongs or spoons, and more sanitary than – ick - your hands.
Do the first weeks of January mean dragging around the gym bag and yoga mat to tighten up your jiggly "dad bod" by Spring? Have you emptied cupboards of sugary treats, and rendered dairy verboten from the fridge until your butt is ready for bikini season? Do you tote snack bags of cashews and sunflower seeds to ward of the temptation to stop for "just one" donut? Is your car's dashboard dotted with taped-one vision board images to keep constant sight of your goals? In other words… are you ready to quit kidding yourself and have a freakin' drink, already? Yeah, me too! However, this guide will help you pick the libation to keep yourself sane while keeping as on track as possible with New Year Resolutions. ORGANIC If dropping growth hormones and pesticides from your dinner table are part of your diet goals for 2016, consider applying that philosophy to your drinking habits, too. In order for booze to be "certified organic," it goes a similar process as your organic groceries. The source material for the booze is not grown with antibiotics, growth hormones, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides or GMOs in order to qualify for the government USDA Certified Organic stamp. The wine, beer and liquor brands going to the trouble of getting certified organic, are also often sourcing from sustainable farms and using eco-friendly packaging, a win all around. Full disclosure: I'm passionate about "organic when possible" and have taught organic cocktail classes from coast-to-coast in the United States. So, a few years ago, I co-created OM LIQUEURS which is an organic product… and it's pretty rad. GLUTEN-FREE If only I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if their vodka is "gluten free"…! There is so much misunderstanding over this topic when it comes to alcohol that many people never quite believe me when I say that distillation strips it all away. Unless gluten is mysteriously added after the distillation process, hard liquor is gluten-free. However, for the people who are hyper freaked out by the risk that this scientific fact is somehow not true, here are a few options: 1) hard cider is made from fruit such as apple, pear, cherry, etc. 2) wine is made from grapes. 3) many spirits are made from fermented agave, sugar cane, and fruits juices rather than "gluteny" grains. VEGAN I got a crash course in vegan booze when I taught cocktail classes at a vegan cooking school in Los Angeles. For example, did you know that the delicious Italian liqueur, Campari, originally got its bright red color from crushed cochineal beetles? It has since switched its coloring tactics but I had never before considered that a Negroni cocktail (gin, sweet vermouth, Campari) may not be vegan-friendly! If you avoid animal products at all costs, then you also want to also pay attention to wine. The process called "fining" removes yeast and other organic particles from the liquid during the making process, and is often done so with animal-derived products such as gelatin and fish bladders. Basically, read labels and / or research your favorite booze online because you may be surprised! And, of course, if you're doing a sober January (as I am - well, more or less) then just grit your teeth and bear it until next month, when chocolate and champagne are back in season!
A new dawn of dining is on the horizon at Sunrise Springs. The luxuriously tranquil, immaculately landscaped, somewhat mysterious retreat center has been kept exclusively for guest use only since re-opening last year. Offerings such as yoga, puppy therapy (that's a thing!), art projects and dining have been part of the program for resort goers. However, with Chef ROCKY DURHAM now leading the restaurant, the public is welcomed to enjoy Sunday brunch in the peaceful oasis.
View from Blue HeronChef Durham cut his teeth in back-of-the-house positions as a teen in Santa Fe, studied classical cooking in Portland and worked at the Royal Sonesta in New Orleans. He later took flight across the pond and opened eight Santa Fe-themed restaurants across England. After returning to his hometown, Rocky taught at our local cooking schools and earned "Super Chef" status for Cooking With Kids, a program bringing healthy cooking skills to children in this area. Chef Durham is also a supporter of New Mexico agriculture and viticulture as you will see in THIS EPISODE OF "DIGGING IN," an online sustainable culinary series by The Liquid Muse and Edible Magazine.
Sunrise BenedictI fluttered in to BLUE HERON for the inaugural Sunday service and instant relaxation ensued. The calming color scheme and refined simplicity of the interior design and art offer a step out of the mundane. Brunch is by reservation only, and I suggest you request a table by the large windows overlooking the lake, gardens and Autumn's fiery red leaves on majestic trees, below.
Ginger, Rice Pudding BruleeI was excited to experience Chef Durham's brunch, particularly as he had mentioned the DUCK CONFIT HASH with blackened scallions and smoked guajillo aioli ($25) a few times in a prior conversation… I ordered it…YUM! We also ordered the SUNRISE BENEDICT which comes on a blue corn crepe with avocado, house-made sausage, poached egg and cottage fries ($20). And, the GINGER, RICE PUDDING BRULEE is essentially a few delicious desserts presented in one ($10). Another plus: the coffee comes from Santa Fe's ICONIK, woot! Extending an invitation to our local community, and visitors, is a wonderful move on the part of Sunrise Springs. In months to come, Sunday brunch will expand to lunch and dinner, and the Moon House will become a wine bar. Keep in mind that the current owners of this resort also own Ojo Caliente so it is also exciting to know that Sunrise Springs will also offer day passes to the spa and private hot tubs – a luxurious place to roost to revive, restore and see the sun rise or set.
Kids bolstering their Halloween street cred with the biggest bag of loot add a lap in the fanciest block they can wander into – it seems logical that the more impressive the house, the more copious the trick-or-treat offerings. Meanwhile, this time of year, the Wicked wines reappear on shelves across the country, so while the little terrors are rubbing goodie bags in the high end zip codes, parents can gather for some hob nobbing of their own. The fourth annual limited edition WICKED RED BLEND wine has those big New World characteristics marked by blackberry, mocha, a hint of oak and balanced tannins. The bottle is decorated with a Dia de Los Muertos sugar skull design, making it perfect to take to a Halloween party or enjoy with friends at your house. This year the WICKED CHARDONNAY is stepping onto the moonlit stage. The bottles features a female Day of the Dead ghoul, and the vino is marked by notes of crisp green apple, nuts and honey. At only $11.99 per bottle it's a treat for the grown ups in every neighborhood. Maybe swipe some of the kids' good candy to pair with it. It's what the fancy folks do…
Cocktails and mixed drinks are a delightful way to unwind, but mixology isn't just for evenings. Whipping up a morning mocktail is a great way to energize and detoxify. They'll definitely help soothe hangovers, but they'll also give you a huge lift with workouts and workdays. These four ingredients below are also pretty unique to the world of mocktails, so they're the perfect way to impress friends. They're so healthy and delicious, the following mocktails may even send health nuts into nutritional shock… * MATCHA The Starbucks matcha latte may seem overhyped and overpriced, but there's actually a good reason for that. Matcha comes from the same leaves steeped from green tea, but they're ground into a powder that's concentrated and readily absorbed. Matcha is packed with detoxifying chlorophyll and disease-fighting catechins, and it totes caffeine that's paired with an amino acid that promotes calm. Buying a quality powdered matcha will set you back about $20, but that will save you money if it keeps you from needing lattes and iced coffee _(it'll also save you from the lead found in cheaper Chinese matchas)_. When you're ready to play with mixology, try using one teaspoon of matcha for every half to full cup of mocktail juice. For chilled mocktails and preggatinis; dissolve matcha in warm water before adding to cold ingredients. * MATCHA LEMONADE: The tart flavor of lemon matches matcha perfectly. Since lemon juice packs it's own strong flavor, matcha can be increased up to 2 teaspoons per cup of lemonade. Pair your matcha with the lemonade idea down below and your mocktini will be the talk of the town. * MATCHA TONIC: If you crave bitter drinks, then matcha will be the best thing to happen to tonic water (_since gin, of course_). Just add dissolved matcha to a glass of tonic and ice, and your done. But if you're the type that lives for new extremes, add a plop of sliced cucumber and mint leaves. It will be so healthy and refreshing -- it _may _border unbearable… * KOMBUCHA It used to be that only wierdo health-nuts would tote around glass bottles of 'bucha, but now you can get a kombucha fix at a _gas station_. Kombucha is crazy trendy, but give yourself a week of it and you'll get why people love it so much. Energy, digestion, and health all get a boost thanks to it's brain-boosting B vitamins and friendly microbes. Kombucha is definitely worth the money, but if you're looking to be thrifty and crafty, you can use that same money to buy some filtered water, sugar, and tea. Mix it all together and you can make your own kombucha for a mocktail party (or a weekday morning pick-me-up). * KOMBUCHARITA: Nothing adds to a hot day quite like an icy sip of microbes. Put your kombucha on ice, and you can swirl in coconut water, lime juice, or muddled strawberries. If you want to slush up your mocktails, blend your 'bucha with a handful of ice or frozen fruit. Garnish your blend with salt and a lime wedge, and you may actually wake up in time for that 6am tequila sunrise. * KOMBUCHADE: Mix kombucha with lime juice, and you'll have a probiotic limeade that compete with any whiskey sour. Take a spin off Serious Eat's black peppercorn limeade, and your simple mocktail will leave drinkers in awe. * APPLE CIDER VINEGAR This simple vinegar is the topic of some fascinating health studies. So far, science suggests apple cider vinegar has amazing health benefits that can help regulate diabetes, cholesterol, and weight. Raw ACV has even more health potential because it contains the live enzymes and probiotics created by its fermentation. Vinegar may be the last thing you'd think of adding to a mocktail, but once you try it you may never go back. For a mocktail that's as tasty as it is healthy, pair ACV's strong flavor with another powerful flavor like lemon juice. You can also mellow it out with something sweet like coconut water or honey. Add ACV to mocktails a teaspoon at a time until you find the right flavor for your palette. * HOT (ACV) CIDER: Use 1-2 Tablespoons of ACV for every 2 cups of cider. If you're using raw ACV for extra enzymes and friendly microbes, wait to add it to the cider until it's had a chance to cool (_high heat equals death_). * VIRGIN BLOODY MARY: Top off your favorite Bloody Mary recipe with 2 Tablespoons of ACV. It may seem like a lot, but if you were a wimp, you wouldn't be drinking horseradish, worcestershire, and tabasco. * FERMENTED CITRUS Citrus fruits are loaded with vitamin C. Drinking it up will support immunity because vitamin c boosts production of white blood cells (the fighters of foreign microbes). A citrus mocktail is a must with that alone! But vitamin C is also an antioxidant that helps the liver detoxify. So, it's a delish post-party necessity. The ideas below have been tried specifically with lemon, but lime is always a great substitute. Oranges in all their variety call for experimentation in the kitchen too. If you want to add extra pizazz, try using essential oils. Lemon essential oil boosts detoxification, which makes it wildly popular with oil nuts and health fiends. But on top of the health bene's, it's flavor and aroma can give the simplest drink new depths. * FERMENTED SODA: The pros at Nourished Kitchen have a recipe for fermented lemonade that will have Sprite crying in shame. All it takes is a little honey, water, lemon juice, and whey (_which is __easily strained from plain yogurt_). Bottle up the final mix, then allow it to sit and ferment for 4-7 days. If you to add extra jazz, try taking a spin off of Liquid Muse's own lavender lemonade recipe. * PRESERVED LEMON MOCKTINI: If you love the "adult" feeling you get drinking alcohol, preserved lemons are a mocktail must. Their deep and complex lemon flavor is practically guaranteed to blow your palette away. All it takes to make preserved lemons is salt, lemons slices, and time. You will have to wait 2-4 weeks for them to set, but it's worth the wait since they'll keep in the fridge at least six months.
_What a joy to introduce you all to, ASH STEVENS (see pic & bio below). We met on THE LIQUID MUSE FACEBOOK PAGE and I'm now excited to share her delightful writing here on the site. I tend to sidestep the topic of "hangover cures" because I don't want to sound like I encourage over-indulgence. However, I think that Ash covers this topic very well and has such a fun voice - and, honestly, some great tips - so take a swig and read on… Natalie_ We like to think we're smart and we know our limits, but every now and then there's a special celebration that has us pushing our liver just a little too far. Fun as it may be in the moment, it's not so great the next morning. We all know by now sneaking a few glasses of water into our night will help us avoid the hell of a hangover, but there are other means of prevention that are just as easy. Even healthy! VITAMIN C Sure, orange juice is a welcome addition to cocktails come cold season, but it has a place anywhere booze is involved. The vitamin C that oranges are so famous for actually plays an important role in reducing the damage of oxidative stress. Oxidation just happens to be the process that makes alcohol metabolization possible, thus you have alcohol's impact on the liver. Luckily, vitamin C has shown that it can help cut down on alcohol's damage. The antioxidant is also known for it's ability to speed the rate at which the liver detoxifies, so a "shot" of vitamin C is the perfect end to every big night out. Oranges are an obvious resource for liver love, but some of the the sources below are even _higher_. * CITRUS likes lime offer an average of 29mg in every 100g of fruit, while grapefruit totes around 31 mg. Navel orange take the vitamin C content even further with an impressive 53mg of the antioxidant, but that leaves it in a tie with lemon. A delectable addition to alcohol of nearly _every _variety. * TOMATO JUICE can vary in vitamin C depending on tomato type or brand of juice but, given the vitamins and cocktail possibilities, it's _always _a smart choice. A juice like R.W. Knudsen's Organic Tomato Juice serves 20% of the vitamin, plus 25% of the RDA for potassium, 16% of daily sodium, and a dash of calcium. Is there a better reason to indulge in capers, SKYY, and lemon juice? * STRAWBERRIES make their way into romantic picnics and Valentine's desserts, but this delicious berry in an edible hangover remedy! Gram to gram, it lugs more vitamin C than the standard orange. * GUAVA is loaded with so much Vitamin C, oranges will _run away_ in shame. For every 100g of fruit, oranges offer 53mg while guavas are packing an incredible _228mg_. That's nearly 4.5x _more _vitamin C! If that doesn't impress you, then you should know it's being studied as a way to improve or flat-out prevent diabetes. Now who's ready for a guava cocktail? ELECTROLYTES Yes, electrolytes _are _actually as important as Powerade claims. However, they're neither exclusive to sports drinks, nor post-workout routines. Electrolytes (specifically sodium calcium, potassium, chlorine, phosphate, and magnesium) are a group of minerals that keep necessary electrical currents flowing through our bodies to enable fluid transportation, muscle contraction, and an array of other cellular functions. Needless to say, they're pretty dang important. Sweating it out in the gym or the field will cause electrolytes to push their way out through our pores -- thus the sports drinks -- but alcohol's effect on these precious minerals can be even _worse _than a session on the stairmaster (_and anyone who's ever been on one knows that's saying __a lot_). Because drinking has a diuretic effect, we're losing electrolytes with each and every flush of the toilet. So, too many drinks and bathroom trips will have us wincing with achy muscles and the piercing headache from a dehydrated brain. Spare yourself the pain by keeping these electrolyte sources on hand. Or, better yet… In your martini glass! * OLIVES are beloved by martini drinkers for their taste, but their use in drinks may be as appealing to the tastebuds as they are to the body as they pack about 61 mg of sodium. Drop a few into a bloody mary and you'll boost your Friday night hangover defense. * COCONUT WATER may seem overhyped and overpriced, but it's the Gatorade of Mother Nature. According to Dr. Axe, a 240g serving of fresh coconut water will get us 17% of our daily potassium while packing in 15% magnesium, 11% sodium, and 6% of the RDA for calcium. The average coconut milk can actually take these mineral numbers even higher, so a coconut cocktail is as smart a choice as it is delicious. * PICKLES offer a tasty snack that delights a variety of palettes, and that comes with a salty concentration of liquid sodium. That makes pickle brine an electrolyte booster, and a welcome addition to shots and drinks alike. Just don't go crazy with the sodium because too much will be less hydrating than _de_hydrating. * BAKING SODA offers hangover help in a pinch, and you can find it in cupboards and fridges _everywhere_. Just a teaspoon gets us about 52% of our daily sodium, plus the bonus benefits of its buffering properties, so it will help neutralize the acidic effects of alcohol while restoring imbalanced sodium levels. Try a spoonful in a glass of water and see it for yourself. CYSTEINE This name may be new to you, but this amino acid is what makes libations and celebrations possible. The process of metabolizing alcohol requires two steps; converting from ethanol to acetaldehyde, then converting from acetaldehyde into acetic acid. Acetaldehyde is quite toxic, but our liver is there to help us out with a special compound called glutathione. However, the average liver can only produce enough to metabolize about a drink per hour. It's obviously wise to limit drinks to a max of 3 or 4 per session (_women are supposed to stick to 3 -- Dang it!_). But since cysteine is used in the formulation of glutathione, you can enjoy your favorite drinks and love on your liver at the _same _time. * EGGS are one powerful little bundle of cysteine. A large egg packs 250mg of the recommended daily 425mg * SOYBEANS could be your new favorite bar snack. Just one cup of these roasted beans will give you 593mg of cysteine. That's a day's worth in a single shot! No pun intended… * DAIRY also dishes up some cysteine, with the highest source being swiss cheese, then going down to yogurt and feta, and finally to milk. If you ask me, this is sounding like the _perfect _excuse to throw a drink pairing party… If you're going to be drinking, then test out some of these remedies to see what happens. And don't forget to treat your tastebuds and liver to some extra TLC with one of our fabulous detoxifying mocktails. A healthy morning mocktail is the perfect counter to _every _evening cocktail. I'm sure your liver will agree! _ASH STEVENS is a writer who doubles as a pretend philosopher and a wannabe shaman. When she isn't writing her soul out on her blog, she's listening to the great minds (or great comedians_) on YouTube, soaking up sunshine, or having yet another fascinating conversation with herself _(she gives excellent advice, you know_).

MOTHER! directed by Darren Aronofsky (USA, 2017)
Beware of films with exclamation marks in the title!
"Mother! is a movie designed to provoke fury, ecstasy, madness, and catharsis, and more than a little awe". This verdict is from a review in Vox that Darren Aronofsky says 'gets it'.
It culminates in an apocalyptic finale that works on the theory that nothing succeeds like excess. It is shocking in the sense of being shockingly awful.
If Aronofsky's goal was to get under my skin he succeeded but, while I usually gain a perverse pleasure from mindfuck or body horror movies, this one left me cold and with feelings of distaste and repulsion. Continue reading

Last weekend I posted a list of my top 10 bands. One of the groups that I listed was the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and I commented on the fact that even though many people would not consider the Dorsey Orchestra a jazz band, it was through listening to them that my interest in jazz was sparked and provided me with entry into the diverse musical world that is jazz.
During my high school days, my musical interest could probably be summed up fairly well as middle of the road Easy Listening. Then one Christmas, I received the album Perhaps Love, an Easy Listening album by operatic superstar Placido Domingo, and featuring the title duet sung with John Denver. Musically, this remains the most significant album I've ever owned. In hearing Domingo I came to understand to a small extent the wonders that a human voice can achieve. More than that, this album played no small part in my decision, a few years later to take singing lessons, something that even though I don't do much singing anymore, still helps me out when I have to sing.
Much like saying that the Dorsey band was not a good exemplar of jazz, many critics would suggest that the Perhaps Love album was not a good exemplar of opera, and in one sense they're right, because it doesn't fit the genre at all, but it did open my eyes to the glories of the human voice. The one thing both Dorsey and Domingo did for me was they encouraged me to explore deeper into the styles that their music, in the form I first heard it, hinted at. This was a gift to me that went far beyond the actual music itself, and my life is richer because of it.
