Asafoetida (Ferula assa-foetida)
Latin Name: Ferula assa-foetida
Common Names: Asafoetida, Hing
Asafoetida, or the Latin Ferula assa-foetida, is a perennial plant with hollow stems and unbrel-shaped yellow flowers. The stems of these natural herbs can reach to six to ten feet tall. But be warned--the uncooked scent is not pleasant. Perhaps this is why asafoetida was given a common name of devil's dung. On the other hand, because it produces an onion/garlic flavor when cooked, other cultures have called it the food of the gods.
The stems and roots of Asafoetida excrete a sap that, when dried, produces a gum that is turned into a powder form of these quality bulk herbs. In addition to cooking, this herb may help to decrease gas, and to promote digestion.
In Indian and Persian cuisines this herbs is used to flavor pickles and it often finds its way into foods of these nations as a condiment. To cook with Asafoetida, one would heat oil or butter in a pan and then add a small amount of the asafoetida dried herbs to the fat to saute. Dishes featuring vegetables or lentils are the usual ones in which Ferula assa-foetida herbs are used to best effect. For those who cannot eat onion or garlic yet enjoy the taste, Asafoetida herbs can take their flavorful place. Because of its strong scent when uncooked, it is wise to store it in an airtight container so that it does not impart its aroma to other nearby food products.
Ingredients: 40% Asafoetida resin and 60% Fenugreek as a processing aid.
Warning: Not to be used during pregnancy. Not for use in infants.

i cook with many herbs and spices and make up my own blends often, this particular herb is new to me and a Delight. perhaps in its raw resin form it is more odoriferous but blended with fenugreek as it is here~mellows it. it is a real hardy and warm flavor~rounds off and compliments garlic n onion chives shallots~ very wholesome. i use it in every batch of Basmati.
i'm vata-kapha dosha and it resonates with me beautifully.
i just got it a week ago and already i can tell i'm gonna need more.
it's now a staple for me~! i love the fact that it is gluten free, and Thankyou to Starwest for making this blend available to us.

Tombstone Tuesday: Another Name Puzzle
This week's gravestone is my greatgrandmother, Mary F. Orand, at least that's what it says on the stone. She is buried in the Ralls Cemetery, Ralls, Crosby County, Texas. My mother never talked about her very much. About the only thing I knew was that before I was born, I was supposed to be named after her and my father's mother. I was supposed to be Francis Ann Cheek. My parent's were sure I was going to be a girl because they already had a boy. Many of us remember the days when you didn't know ahead of time. After my surprise entrance, they quickly changed my name to Richard Orand Cheek. I never knew for sure where the Richard came from. The Orand is my mother's maiden name. I am eternally grateful that they didn't decide to just go ahead and use Francis or Frances as a boy's name. When I began to research our family history, I looked for the only name I knew, Francis Orand and had a hard time coming up with anything. I found Mary Orand and even Elizabeth Orand in the right places and the right times but no Francis. I finally came across a cousin who clued me in. Our greatgrandmother Orand was originally Mary Francis Elizabeth Brandon. Shazam, the pieces all fell into place. I am grateful to Dave, a FindAGrave volunteer for this picture.

GuardianJuly 9, 2003
They were promised a brighter future, but in the 1990s the world's poor fell further behind
The widening gulf between the global haves and have-nots was starkly revealed last night when the United Nations announced that while the United States was booming in the 1990s more than 50 countries suffered falling living standards. The UN's annual human development report charted increasing poverty for more than a quarter of the world's countries, where a lethal combination of famine, HIV/Aids, conflict and failed economic policies have turned the clock back.
Highlighting the setbacks endured by sub-Saharan Africa and the nations that emerged from the break-up of the Soviet Union at the end of the cold war, the UN called for urgent action to meet its millennium development goals for 2015. These include a halving of the number of people living on less than a dollar a day, a two-thirds drop in mortality for the under fives, universal primary education and a halving of those without access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation. The report said the 1990s had seen a drop from 30% to 23% in the number of people globally living on less than a dollar a day, but the improvement had largely been the result of the progress in China and India, the world's two most populous countries.
Despite some sporadic successes such as Ghana and Senegal, there was little hope of Africa meeting the UN's 2015 development goals; on current trends it would be 2147 before the poorest countries in the poorest continent halved poverty and 2165 before child mortality was cut by two thirds. Thirty of the 34 countries classified by the UN as "low human development" are in sub-Saharan Africa.
Taking issue with those who have argued that the "tough love" policies of the past two decades have spawned the growth of a new global middle class, the report says the world became ever more divided between the super-rich and the desperately poor. The richest 1% of the world's population (around 60 million) now receive as much income as the poorest 57%, while the income of the richest 25 million Americans is the equivalent of that of almost 2 billion of the world's poorest people. In 1820, Western Europe's per capita income was three times that of Africa's; by the 1990s it was more than 13 times as high.
In Norway, top of the UN's league table for human development, life expectancy at birth is 78.7 years, there is 100% literacy and annual income is just under $30,000 (about £18,200). At the other end of the scale, a newborn child in Sierra Leone will be lucky to reach its 35th birthday, has a two in three chance of growing up illiterate and would have an income of $470 a year.
Overall human development, measured by the UN as an amalgam of income, life expectancy and literacy, fell in 21 countries during the 1990s. By contrast, only four countries suffered falling human development in the 1980s. "Though average incomes have risen and fallen over time, human development has historically shown sustained improvement, especially when measured by the human development index. But the 1990s saw unprecedented stagnation, with the HDI falling in 21 countries.
"Much of the decline in the 1990s can be traced to the spread of HIV/AIDS, which lowered life expectancies, and to a collapse in incomes, particularly in the commonwealth of independent states." The UN said the events of September 11 had created a "genuine consensus" that poverty was the world's problem, but urged the west to abandon the one-size-fits-all liberalization agenda foisted on poor nations.
Mark Malloch-Brown, administrator of the UN development programme, said many countries in Africa and Latin America held up as examples of how to kick-start development were among the stragglers in the global economy. "The poster children of the 1990s are among those who didn't do terribly well. There are structural restraints on development. Market reforms are not enough. You can't just liberalize; you need an interventionist strategy." The report added that: "Over the past 20 years too much development thinking and practice have confused market-based economic growth with laissez faire." The west needed to tear down trade barriers, dismantle its lavish subsidy regimes, provide deeper debt relief and double aid from $50bn to $100bn a year. This would provide the resources for investment in the building blocks of development - health, education, clean water and rural roads.
"Poor countries cannot afford to wait until they are wealthy before they invest in their people", said Jeffrey Sachs, special adviser to Kofi Annan on the UN millennium development goals.
Economic growth alone would not rescue the world from poverty, the report said. "Without addressing issues like malnutrition and illiteracy that are both causes and symptoms of poverty, the goals will not be met. The statistics today are shaming: more than 13 million children have died through diarrhoeal disease in the past decade. Each year, over half a million women, one for every minute of the day, die in pregnancy and childbirth. More than 800 million suffer from malnutrition." It added: "For many countries the 1990s were a decade of despair. Some 54 countries are poorer now than in 1990. In 21, a larger proportion is going hungry. In 14, more children are dying before age five. In 12, primary school enrolments are shrinking. In 34, life expectancy has fallen. Such reversals in survival were previously rare."
Matthew Lockwood, head of UK Advocacy Team, ActionAid, said: "The shocking truth is that the poor are getting poorer. "Leaders, in rich and poor countries alike, are not taking poverty seriously enough. You don't solve this problem by making the leaders of poor countries accountable to their rich-country counterparts. They need to be accountable to their own citizens. Poor people must have a voice."

Safe Rooms5/26
Is there an uptick in demand for this item? 5/27
Poured concrete, 1/2" steel door!, Wouldn't want anything a bullet could go through. Need 3/4" to stop a 50 cal. How "safe" do you want to be?
I read somewhere that this has become more popular. Ostensibly worries about unrest on the horizon and now. 5/27
We just worked at a home that had a interior concrete room in place, and last year did one where the neighbor has a safe room, complete with escape tunnel. Many people are secretive about these things, which makes sense to me. We also have a local company that makes steel rooms, mostly advertised for storm protection, but they certainly would be handy to have if the people get unruly. The company is currently adding another production facility as they are way out on deliveries. I have certainly been entertaining the idea of adding one myself, mainly for storms but also for protection from people as well. 5/28
New business Pat?
Just looking, you apparently don't have a high opinion of the idea? ?The areas where public transfers are the highest are going to be the problem areas. LA, DC, NY, Chicago. Thanks for the feedback Mitch, anyone else
We did several in the years leading up to the Crash. The better ones had bulletproof out swing doors, with claw-lock jamb latches. One owner has a company that has security clearances, does a lot of Defense work, so the Homeland Security boys wanted to know where his hidden room was, the locking, the door and other details. The bullet-proof door weighed in at about 240 lbs. without the jamb. Apparently they approved. The idea was that it was also a good place for a tornado shelter - formed concrete, in the lower level, with fresh air shafts, etc. The owner finished it off by making it a wine cellar. If it is the 'end', as he would say, at least he could entertain himself.
I guess it depends on what you are trying to be safe from. I live in Tornado Alley. Every year a tornado comes within a few miles of where I live. There are warnings of a few minutes, generally time enough to get to our basement shelter. Everyone around here has seen what happens when a tornado hits a frame house or mobile home. Nothing left above ground except shattered sticks. A protective room is easily sold here but it isn't likely to be bullet proof. The bullet proof room is probably an easier sell to high dollar folks living in metro areas. Need some very targeted PR to sell to a very few people. 5/28
When I was researching bulletproof cores, the first question was "What do you need to stop?" The second was "How many?" I passed these questions on to the homeowner, and he consulted Homeland Security for answers. How they knew, I don't know. I forget the specifics, but the 3/4" mineral core would stop an AK 47 at 5 feet, about 20 shells. Or something like that. This project was a wealthy owner, about 25 miles out from the city. His concern was that if there was any sort of attack, he could be on his own for anywhere from 20 minutes to weeks. Another project involved a more cleverly hidden access door that no one would guess was moveable. The project was done for a wealthy gay couple that was very high profile - wealthy business owners, with lots of flamboyant charity events, sponsored gay pride parades, etc. They were honestly afraid that any of the crazy threats they got from various deranged individuals might just come true at some point. They read a few to me, and it was hard to believe that some people used religion in such a warped way. I could understand the homeowners reasonable 'precautions.' The best part was they lived right next to the onetime head of the Republican party (also a customer), that later helped craft the ill-fated RFRA law that was so disastrous for the current State legislature. We would do work for both houses, and kept to ourselves and tried to not make waves, but the two parties did not get along. Money isn't everything..... 5/29
Safe Rooms would be a very good niche market to exploit. You would have to do it quietly - no signs in the yard, etc. The uber wealthy I have worked for had all the bases covered - lots of insurance, lots of security, probably had money stashed all over the place, even offshore, as well cash "buried in the back yard". Yet they all lived in fear of the crazy guy with a gun crossing their path. For this, they had their own guns, and some training, but it was a wild card over which they had no control, no matter how much money there was, or how well prepared they were. But A Safe Room completed the picture. That would be the selling point - 'you have the insurance, the financial security, the awareness and preparedness - except for a Safe Room'. Selling fear is now commercially and politically accepted, so there are no cultural barriers anymore. 5/29
I shot through a half inch thick steel plate with a friend's .30 caliber deer rifle loaded with jacketed slugs. One round, one hole. 7.62 x 39 bounced off. A .45 - made a splat on the surface, but no penetration. A tornado room would be a nice thing to have - but I wouldn't want it in the crawl space or basement - really don't want to have a house on top of my shelter. 5/31
It's actually a legal requirement in Switzerland. Very old houses may get granfathered in, but then the residents of that house have to register with a nearby public one (school or soemthing) http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/bunkers-for-all/995134
I've been going down the rabbit hole on this one...
Looks like a lot needs to go into those in terms of hermetic yet livable environment, in case of something like biological warefare. Air, water, waste, etc. Then there`s the fact that you are in close quarters with few humans... pack the booze and the prozac.
Anyway... here's a few companies that do it:
(Got a chuckle out of the claim: ``Surviving the end of the world in style!``)
Wondered what modern doomsday risks could be, outside of conspiracy and FOX news, and stumbled upon The Center for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) at the University of Cambridge. Pretty cool, bunch of smart folks trying to quantify and assess validity of possible future risks.
Apocalypse think tank
The very real threat is the entitlements coming home to roost. There very likely will be blood in the streets.
But that doesn't apply to Hosers.
Except the world economic system is based on fractional reserve banking, when growth no longer occurs it is hard to keep fractional reserve banking going and you have a period of deflation. This applies to the entire western world. This might be a bit of a problem for everyone.
"The very real threat is the entitlements coming home to roost. There very likely will be blood in the streets.
But that doesn't apply to Hosers."
I'm laughing right now--French Canadian/ESL background prompted having to look up "entitlements", "roost" and "hosers".
So if I try to understand that paragraph--does it mean "people who think they are privileged will sit on the toilet too long and piss people off. But Canadians will be fine."?
Lol thank you google translate!
No, it means that retirees will collect about 7x what they paid into medicare. This does not pencil out...
Add on top of that 17 trillion in debt that is at 250 billion per year interest payments at almost 0% interest, will turn into a trillion per year right quick when interest rates are in the same zip-code as they are normally.
Since Canada's finances are in better shape they do not have this problem.
As to the other you need to look up fractional reserve banking.
Then you need to look at what is happening to Japan and why despite massive money printing they still do not have inflation AKA how fractional reserve banking will be effected by this situation.
Of course I doubt you are really interested in this, in which case disregard.
Just to make sure things are totally F'd they are trying to pass TPP, which will seal the deal at least for the US.
Things will get corrected and the US will continue to be the biggest economy in the world, but not without some serious tumult.
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around external debt...
So from what I gather external debt is a debt of a country not just govt, but also other institutions, towards other countries govt and other institutions?
How is that tabulated and even regulated? Can any institution get a loan from any other so long as they are willing?
Another question...
In fractional reserve banking, if the bank counts the reserve $amount as it's own, but the deposit is counted as the cusomer's $amount as well--is that money in a sense double counted in the economy?
Are they riding on the fact that their whole clientele will never all purge their accounts on the same day?
External debt does not have anything to do with what I'm talking about. And it is NOT a problem.
DEFINITION of 'Fractional Reserve Banking'
A banking system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are backed by actual cash-on-hand and are available for withdrawal. This is done to expand the economy by freeing up capital that can be loaned out to other parties. Most countries operate under this type of system.
Also known as "fractional deposit lending".
Many U.S. banks were forced to shut down during the Great Depression because so many people attempted to withdraw assets at the same time. Today there are many safeguards in place to prevent such an instance from occurring again, but the fractional-reserve banking system remains in place.
Dynamics of external debt may not be a problem, but I'm still curious about it....
As for FRB--do you mean safeguards to prevent everyone from withdrawing at the same time? How can one prevent that?
Can't prevent it. What they have now (in the US) is FDIC to cover any bank defaults. It is a calculated risk that there will not be a run on the bank, this is a tradition that started with gold smiths way back when.
But in reality the FDIC would just print up the money creating inflation that would then dilute the value of all of the money in the US. What they did before was just to issue bank scrip which was an IOU from the bank. FDR saw fit to outlaw scrip which resulted in IIRC 1/3 of the banks going under in 1933.
The more I look at money the less I understand it.
So I always heard that printing too much money causes inflation. But then I remember reading about 1 trillion dollars being printed to climb out of the recession, without having caused inflation in the following years...
You said something once about velocity of money, and that said printed dollars were not reaching the population if I recall correctly.
I guess if you print a ton of money but don't distribute it it can't really cause inflation? But then it is said to have pulled us out of the recession--how if nobody saw any of it?
More and more confused! But interested :)
found something good on money growth and inflation variables...
something good
"The more I look at money the less I understand it."
That is because the overlords don't want you to understand it. It is simple anyone who says or implies otherwise is lying.
"So I always heard that printing too much money causes inflation. But then I remember reading about 1 trillion dollars being printed to climb out of the recession, without having caused inflation in the following years... "
The very definition of inflation is an increase in the money supply.
If the money does not show up in the money supply the inflation does not show up.
Inflation does not occur uniformly at once. It spider webs out as the money finds it's way into the market place from the Federal Reserve Bank. The places that it has shown up is in Real Estate and the Stock Market. Which is why you see the manifestation (increasing prices) of inflation there and not elsewhere as much, except it surely shows up in the grocery store but not as much as Real Estate and the Stock Market.
This is where you see the velocity of money at record lows.
The reason that they say that it has pulled us out of the recession is that they are LYING, and lying benefits their agenda.
The best indicator of this is in the graph below.
You have to wrap your head around the idea that they are disingenuous in the extreme, the whole lot of them, Ds and Rs.
The ONLY thing a politician cares out about is getting reelected, to do that they have to lie. The blame goes to the one looking at us in the mirror.
Part of the lie is that demand keeps the economy going, so all they have to do is print money and that that money will create demand. This is patently not true. As we see now we have the greatest economic inequality in 100 years. The money printing is the sole cause of this as it was in the 1920s.
Breadwinner jobs are defined as jobs that pay more than 50k a year.
Yea that is the crap you shouldn't read.
The fact is that the money supply does not need to change one iota.
The economy left to it's own devises has a natural deflation. This is because technology makes stuff cheaper, Wide screens are cheaper today, phone service is cheaper today not to mention portable with internet access for just a little more than a land line used to cost, cars last twice as long, etc. So the question is why do we have inflation?
Is velocity of money psychologically dictated by individuals and their beleifs about the state of things?
I'm wondering if pretending to enhance the money supply (by printing but not shelling out) gets people to increase the velocity....
Confidence has a lot to do with it, but people have more confidence when they have more money.
But mostly it has to do with confidence in investing in business. Which is not happening because the prez has made everyone nervous for good reason.
At what levels are businessees not being invested in? Like no one expanding/starting them and/or no one is investing/loaning for them?
Yes the rate is declining, it is hard to find graphs on this, here are a couple.
Here is an example of how Japan's money printing has not done them any good.
That last graph for Japan and the red dot area has mostly to do with the big jump in the sales tax rate.
Good point Larry, I wasn't familiar.
The trouble with graphs is there is never a single influence that creates them.
As to the latter, sactly. The Japanese have been doing it for 25 yr, and it has worked the same way here, with endless unintended consequences. None of them good.
I feel like there's a million reasons money is close to untrackable. e aft
For example--drugs. How do you even track drug money? Assume only bikers/mafia are after it? Pretty sure it's not a coincidence that big powers go after Afghanistan... USSR was after it hardcore and failed, before the USA. Is it really to correct their ways/protect the nation?
If that was the case there would be a thousand vile ways to go after... why seemingly insignificant Afghanistan?
I smell poppies....

The platform is a neat device with plenty of potential, but the games so far available mostly aren't quite there. Advertisement Enter Ghost Recon Shadow Wars. This turn-based strategy game foregos the bells and whistles of 3DS' tech offerings (like StreetPass, the gyroscope and pedometer) to focus instead on delivering an engaging tactical experience with a bit of 3D panache.While I found even the 3D a bit off putting at times, especially with the constant looking back-and-forth between 2D and 3D screens, the basic gameplay of Shadow Wars is so much fun, so reminiscent of tactical titles like X-Com, that I couldn't put it down. Advertisement Players control a small team of recon soldiers as they work their way through the game's 35 missions. The game also includes 20 skirmish maps, a pass-and-play option for multiplayer and six classes, all of which can be upgraded with skill points. You can also unlock new weapons and gear.There are also a ton of clever interface design choices made in the game which make it a joy to play. (Check out the video.)I haven't had a chance yet to play through the entire game, but the short time I've spent with it has me convinced this is a must have, must play titles for any portable. It just happens to be only coming to the 3DS.Reply132 repliesLeave a reply

A new day
Trip Start
Jul 04, 2009
Trip End
Sep 06, 2009
I head over to Center Camp. There's a large tent structure with a stage, a lot of seating, a small open floor area and a bunch of espresso machines and cash registers. They sell drip coffee, espresso drinks (iced or hot), electrolyte drinks, lemonade and that's about it. It's the only place that sells anything except the 3 ice stations in the city.
There's a singer/songwriter on stage in front of a small crowd. There's a growing line at the few registers open selling coffee. There are a few people who look like they've slept on the painted plywood seating all night. And, a few who are writing in journals, doing tai chi or yoga, or just waking up.
I head back to the motorhome and find signs of life. We do a little breakfast and One of my co-workers has a golf cart that he lends us. Vinny hops on his bike and Joe and I get in the golf cart and we head out generally toward the Man zig zagging our way from one art piece to another. There are tons of sculptures out in the open Playa area (away from the camp area). The size of the Playa and the number of art pieces is stunning. It's impossible to capture the size of the place in a picture. Even the pictures taken from airplanes/skydivers don't get across the shear size of the place.
From a distance, the art pieces are tiny specs in the vast desert. You just head toward a dot and see what you stumble upon. My favorite is an obelisk that has a music looping system to create your own music in the desert off a keypad and effects keys. There's a beautiful "tree nest" at the far edge that you can climb up through the trunk, then sit in the nest. There are metal figures, an iron pipe 'nest' with Fabrege-esque eggs in it, video screens showing performance art, all kinds of things. The artists put generators away from the art to power the stuff that needs power. It's endless and fascinating.
Dougie Fresh pops by. He says there's another spot that has a more reliable electrical connection. He takes me over to look at it. It's a tight squeeze in behind some other vehicles at the outer edge of First Camp between Picasso Camp and a camp called "The Dump". It's VERY near Center Camp and across the street from the largest Ice station.
I get the boys to pack up and they follow me over on the bikes while I thread the needle to put the motorhome into the spot. It ends up we're camping near some DPW folks and some folks who provide some outside services to BRC, Black Rock Solar, BRAF (Black Rock Arts Foundation), etc. The people next door end up being great fun. (Names withheld to protect the guilty.)
The weather is hot. The air conditioning is working....and so is the refrigerator. Life is good.
We wan We take naps in the afternoon. We eat dinner. We feed the neighbors...we have clearly brought too much food.
NOTE TO FUTURE BURNERS: Seriously, you'll be lucky if you eat 2 meals a day. Don't bring so much food. And make sure that 2 dinners can be made easily because either there will be a dust storm or lots of stuff going on that you want to participate in so you just want to grab something. You'll get up late and either eat breakfast or lunch, but rarely both. Definitely, bring snacks. On the otherhand, DO bring enough to share. We fed DPW folks that were tired of cooking for themselves or eating commissary food (they'd been on Playa for a couple of weeks), friends who dropped by, people we'd never met and hungry neighbors. Food was a great way to meet people.
As the sun went down we headed past First Camp and said hello to some of th LLC members, got a flame shot over our head by Will Roger's art car (which scared me half to death). We wandered through the new art cars in front of DMV, then headed around the Esplanade clockwise this time...exploring like Raccoons: moving toward anything shiny and burning.

Hulu,, best site ever!
Oh Nathan.
You just like Hulu because now you can sit in the rig and watch TV on your laptop. In MY day, the only thing we had to do was listen to the RADIO! And in SKIP's day :) the only thing they had to listen to was AM RADIO!!!!
But i'm probably just jealous.
Of course, some ambulances in my home state have taken it to the next level:
Of course that's so the Medic's can watch Trauma while they are on-duty.
Still, I'm a bit tweaked how Trauma represents the profession. But I'll probably watch it anyway.
Nathan said:Hulu,, best site ever!
Oh, come on, you wouldn't want to watch as every episode, your dashing ambulance crews rescue someone from whatever toxic thing bit them? :) Australia seems to have enough poisonous creatures that you could get 2 or 3 seasons just on different insect/snake/fish/whatever bites alone.... Think too of the awesome scuba-rescue scenes you could have with the Great Barrier Reef--talk about making HEMS look dramatic. Then you could have special guest star Russell Crowe, playing an Australian for the first time ever! ;)I saw the clip awhile ago but now everyone in the US has an embargo the rest of the world watching it online.
Like we'd wanna copy it............

I got the Wyrd as an attempt to fix the skipping problem I had with my Emotiva DC-1 DAC. I think the problem is my computer, but sometimes it would skip for a split second and it was very annoying. This didn't happen always and I'm sure it had to do with the load the computer was running at the time. Also, it seemed to only happen with USB 2.0 mode, and not 1.1, but Emotiva recommends running 2.0. I was skeptical at first about this product since the DC-1 doesn't draw power from the USB port, but so far with the Wyrd the skipping has been gone! Fingers crossed it's actually the Wyrd and not just getting lucky so far.
Good to hear...I've had intermittent issues with my iMac not recognizing my DAC (new and old one). So I picked one up yesterday...should be here in a week or two.

Judge Blasts Ohios Last Minute Disenfranchisement Effort: I Dont Want To See Democracy Die In The
Source: ThinkProgress
Judge Blasts Ohios Last Minute Disenfranchisement Effort: I Dont Want To See Democracy Die In The Darkness By Aviva Shen posted from ThinkProgress Justice on Nov 9, 2012 at 6:00 pm Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is fast becoming one of the most despised election officials in the country for his many attempts to restrict early voting and throw out legitimate provisional ballots. Hes also alienating federal judges left and right. After Husted issued a last-minute directive that could invalidate thousands of Ohioans votes, US District Judge Algenon Marbley did not bother to hide his impatience with the secretarys hijinks. Husteds directive, which was issued at 7 pm on the Friday before the election, openly defies Ohio state law by shifting the burden of correctly filling in a provisional ballot form from the poll worker to the contested voter. As Andrew Cohen at the Atlantic explains, Judge Marbley had already worked out an agreement that placed the responsibility on poll workers and the state, so a vote would still be counted if the poll worker made an error. Husteds directive snuck around this agreement, apparently infuriating the judge: THE COURT: Mr. Epstein, would you agree that voting is the linchpin of our democracy?
MR. EPSTEIN: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: I do too. What concerned me about the 2012-54 directive is that it was filed on a Friday night at 7 p.m. The first thought that came to mind was democracy dies in the dark. So, when you do things like that that seeks to avoid transparency, it appears, then that gives me great pause but even greater concern. So, if anyone Im going to give additional time to, its going to be you, Mr. Epstein, because you have a lot of explaining to do Im really trying to get to the root of this, and I dont want to see democracy die in the darkness on my watch, especially with voting. You know I have a special place for voting. Ohios attorney was unable to point to any legal justification for ignoring the law and shifting the burden to the voter. Marbley exploded: Read more: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/11/09/1169321/federal-judge-not-amused-by-ohio-gop-secretary-of-states-last-minute-disenfranchisement-directive/

3. Expose this Jon Husted for his intent to disenfranchise Ohio voters.
I want to know how many provisional ballots were discounted based upon this abuse of power exercised by Jon Husted. Another thing....how many voters just walked away?

Even here on DU, everyone seems to 'know' that bad people NEVER make plans and that only the most laughable fools would ever think they did.

I sure would appreciate a through investigation immediately. Prosecution is the only way to end this abuse of power.
I live in Ohio...actually the same county Husted is from..... same county Dennis Lieberman, (D) lives. Dennis was the Board of Elections Officer fired by Husted for fighting to keep weekend early voting. Yea...Oh Boy. |

31. "Prosecution is the only way to end this abuse of power"
And even then, it will only work if it includes significant prison time for those at the top.
If it's a fine, probation, community service, any kind of slap on the wrist it will just be treated as the cost of doing business. Long years in a little cell -- for the BIG fish -- that's the only thing that will deter the next bunch of traitors. |

12. THE COURT: So show me where it is.
Show me where its meant. Show me the legislative history. Show me the facts that the secretary used to make the decision to change this directive at seven oclock on a Friday night on the eve of an election. I want to see it, and I want to see it now. Show it to me.
MR. EPSTEIN: Your Honor, I have no legislative history to present to the Court. Marbley isnt the first federal judge to be provoked by Husteds defiance. After another district judge, Judge Peter Economus, ruled that Ohio must restore early voting hours on the three days before the election, Husted forbade the local election boards from following the court order. Husted backed down when the judge issued a terse order that demanded he appear in court to personally explain himself. Marbleys ruling is expected Monday. Provisional ballots will be counted on November 17. |

21. I think Husted better watch his back . . .
. . . along with Rove. They were paid huge dollars and were supposed to deliver the election to Romney and didn't. When Husted saw all those other states going to Obama and everybody paying very close attention to Ohio, he said "I'm outta here, I'm not going to jail for a Turd Blossom", and didn't flip the votes like Rove was expecting him to. Thus the Rove meltdown live on FOX. Beautiful!

1) Judge Peter Economus Cleveland 2) 3 Fed. Judge Panel (Cincinnati ????? ) 3) SCOTUS 4) Fed. Judge Marbley Columbus, OH I might be wrong but with the DoJ, the Federal Courts, and thousands of lawyers and poll watchers following the Ohio 2012 vote I think Husted was afraid to pull the trigger on any major vote flipping operation. |

Judge Marbley from finding Husted in Contempt of Court and ordering him to jail. Then the DOJ (hello, Holder? Anybody home?) can investigate Husted for election fraud, civil rights violations, and probably RICO Act.

Photo gallery: Duchess of Cambridge visits Islington school's project to help families of addicts
PUBLISHED: 09:04 02 July 2014
The Duchess of Cambridge brought fun to a playground on a visit to a primary school – and one excited little boy said he had "never seen a princess before".
Kate was at the Blessed Sacrament School in Treaty Street, Islington, yesterday afternoon to see the work of a project she launched to help families affected by addiction – a cause royal aides said is very important to her.
Her arrival attracted lots of onlookers keen to catch a glimpse of royalty while children sat cross-legged waving England flags and cheering.
Kate, wearing a coral dress by Goat, knelt down and chatted to the excited children, asking them about their favourite subjects and what they like most about school.
Five-year-old T'shai said he enjoyed it, adding: "Because I've never seen a princess before."
Nathan, also five, said he told Kate his favourite thing was "books", while Ezekiel, four, said "lunchtime and playing".
Kate was joined by comedian John Bishop, with whom she launched the charity effort last year, and she spoke with people involved in a pilot programme for the school-based project M-PACT (Moving Parents and Children Together) Plus.
The initiative, funded by The Royal Foundation and Comic Relief, and delivered by charities Place2Be and Action on Addiction, of which the Duchess is a patron, aims to provide early support for schoolchildren affected by a parent's drug or alcohol misuse.
Bishop had the Duchess giggling at the end of the visit when he appealed to the press not to focus on what the "style icon" was wearing, where the clothes were from or what hairstyle was in place – but to focus on the project.
"Basically, don't make the story about me," he joked.
Speaking about his passion for the issue, Bishop said a lot of it is down to how "fleeting" childhood is, adding: "We haven't got the time to waste."
Bishop said Kate is "genuinely committed" to the issue, and hailed the involvement of the Royal Foundation.
"What's good about it is that it will hopefully de-stigmatise the whole area," he said.
"Addiction doesn't care what social class you're from. It's across the board. The levels of addiction in Knightsbridge will be as high, if not higher, than some of the most deprived areas in the country," he said.
"I think, from the brief conversations I've had with her, she's committed to it as a person and probably even more so now as a mother, because you realise children are such fragile things and you've got to try and support them when they're at their weakest."

Illness and Healing - ANTH202
This unit offers an introduction to medical anthropology and cross-cultural beliefs relating to illness and healing. We consider different notions of disease causality and examine the proposition that good health, and conversely ill health, is never just about the body. Throughout the unit, we look at conditions of disease as having social as well as biological origins and take the point of view that ideas of health and methods of treating illness are deeply lodged in cultural frameworks. Thus we treat healing practices, including Western biomedicine, as inevitably predicated on cultural systems of understanding. How people understand illness and where it comes from, and what they do about it when it does occur, tells us a lot about how different societies understand people and their place in the world. Specific topics include: cross-cultural approaches to bodily and mental disorders; the social construction of illness; somatisation, placebos, and the role of symbolism in healing; shamanistic practices; emotions and embodiment; science and biomedicine; gender and health; alternative medicine; health promotion and regulation; and new infectious diseases.

Stuffing this lean pork with mushrooms adds not only elegance but also flavor and juiciness.
Nutrition Profile: Diabetes Appropriate Gluten Free Diet Healthy Weight Heart Healthy High Potassium Low Calorie Low Carb Low Cholesterol Low Sat Fat Low Sodium
Serves 8
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 110 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Toss mushrooms, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon sage, 1 teaspoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Stir and continue roasting until the mushrooms are soft and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes more. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
To butterfly tenderloins, lay one tenderloin on a large cutting board. Holding the knife blade flat, parallel to the board, make a lengthwise cut through the center of the meat, stopping short of the opposite edge so that the flaps remain attached. Open up the flaps as you would open a book. Cover with plastic wrap. With a meat pounder, rolling pin or heavy pan, pound the meat to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Butterfly and pound the remaining tenderloin.
Step 4
Divide the mushroom mixture between the tenderloins, spreading evenly and leaving a 1-inch border all around. Starting with a long side, roll up each tenderloin to enclose the filling, then tie the roasts at 2-inch intervals with kitchen string. Combine the remaining 2 teaspoons pepper, 1 teaspoon sage, 1 teaspoon thyme and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the tenderloins.
Step 5
Increase oven temperature to 450°F.
Step 6
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roasts, bending to fit if necessary, and cook, turning often, until the outsides are browned, 3 to 5 minutes total.
Step 7
Transfer the pan to the oven and roast, checking often, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the roasts to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the string, cut the pork into 1-inch-thick slices and serve with Tomato Salsa Verde on the side.

Look at Naxx40, there wasn't any mass exodus from WoW because 99% of the players didn't get to raid it. The whole time, subs went up; even through TBC where lots of people didn't get to progress to the higher tiers.

North Platte Community Colleges McDonald-Belton Theater has a new look thanks to major renovations.
Work began immediately and was completed in November.
The remodeling consisted of repairing/retexturing the ceiling, new paint, new carpet, polished concrete floors under the lower seating area, new acoustical wall panels, new doors, hardware and electronic card access, plus 302 new theater seats. The sound system and stage lighting was also upgraded.
Axtell gave high praise to the NPCC maintenance staff and to several firms and contractors for their help with the project.
Farris Engineering and WHSA Architects provided the architectural and mechanical engineering services, he said. Dowhower Cabinets was the general contractor for the remodel, with their sub-contractors being Select Carpet, Pagel Electric, Kucera Painting, MidWest Door, Blankenship Meier, Mitchell Drywall and AMAX.
Axtell said the college maintenance staff remodeled the dressing rooms with the assistance of Dowhower Cabinets, AMAX and Morland Enterprises. Westbrook Audio and Heartland Scenic provided the upgrades to the sound and lighting systems with assistance from Pagel Electric and the NPCC maintenance staff. The new seating, including ADA provisions, was provided by Mid-State School Supply.
Axtell singled out one sub-contractor in particular, Ryan Brown Flooring, for their work on the floors.
When you go replacing carpet on a curved, tiered seating layout its a very difficult process. Ryans professionalism and meticulous attention to detail is evident with the end result being an excellent carpet job, he said, adding, All the vendors who worked on the project and the NPCC maintenance staff deserve a hearty thanks for a job well done.

The long and the short of it: Borut Bozic, who last year won a stage in the Vuelta for Vacansoleil and finished third in Paris - Tours, once kicked my ass across the length of Cuba (in 2006), including on the last stage where he embarrassed me in front of my wife! Even still, we became fast friends, and BB graciously gave this interview, which appears on Pez. He's a super-interesting character and he speaks frankly...and when given the chance to dis' VINO, he declines! Ugh! That's right - not everyone in the ProTour hates Vino!
Seriously though, check out the interview - it's really good.
UPDATED: VeloResults UK takes an interest in Bozic, and reprints the interview here, with a fresher selection of pictures! And if you like what you read, and want to learn more about Bozic and his Vacansoleil team, visit their Fan Club, here!

Balsa Wood has been a crafter's staple source of inspiration, being both lightweight and also intensely flexible. Finely kiln-dried, balsa wood is incredibly versatile: from model-building to carvings, it's a material that cuts and stains easily and can be quickly moulded into shape.
When you want direct control over your crafts, no need to faff about – get stuck right into the wood that can be used for woodcrafts, papercrafts, textiles and more! When you're done, simply paint over and varnish to transform this pale wood into a masterpiece.

COLUMBUS — Ohio State University is moving toward charging resident students an additional $465 for room and board in the next school year.
The 5.5 percent increase will be voted on Friday by the university's board of trustees. It won the approval of the trustees' fiscal affairs committee on Thursday.
On average, students would pay $8,874 for a room plus the basic meal plan, up from the current $8,409.
Officials at Ohio State say the extra money will be used for student housing expansion and renovation projects.

The Road Not Taken
I got home last night from an annual ski trip to Jackson, Wyoming with my best pal from college. If you live in southwest Idaho like me and want to drive east to any major town, according to GPS devices, it's best done by taking US 84 through Idaho Falls – A lifeless stretch of multi-lane highway filled with truck stops, billboards and fast food joints. I much prefer the two-lane roads that meander through the mountains where you can go an hour or more without seeing a building, billboard or even another car. You also get to visit with folks who live in towns of only a few hundred people, where you can pull up to a local diner and get a home cooked meal and a great piece of pie. It may take a little longer but life's all about the journey, isn't it?
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost

Ostrich legs are freaky.
Justin FitzPatrick, The Shoe Snob on Pinterest
His favorite shoes
il Quadrifoglio Wholecut Oxford with Imitation Brogues for N-C.
Bolero Bespoke shoe & Bootmaker
Camel Suede Adelaide
Reminds me of Carreducker. They even had their own school when the shoes they made are simply underwhelming... Whatever pays the bill I guess.
I think Ms Carre and Mr Ducker just run a short (week or two weeks or something) introductory course a couple of times and year. I'd be surprised if any product of that was any more than "underwhelming"! And didn't they both work for JL before, rather that starting up post-apprenticeship?
