Bureau of Justice Statistics Has High-Quality Programs But Needs Greater Independence
WASHINGTON -- The Bureau of Justice Statistics' programs to collect data on crime in the U.S. have generated a solid body of information, but the bureau should be repositioned within the Justice Department to provide the independence -- and protection against structural and political interference -- appropriate to a statistical agency, says a new report from the National Research Council. It recommends that the bureau be moved out of its current position within the Office of Justice Programs and that its leaders report directly to the attorney general or deputy attorney general.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) collects and disseminates statistics on crime and criminal justice in the U.S. Its flagship study is the annual National Crime Victimization Survey, which surveys households to determine whether any household member has been a victim of crime; it is the nation's only source of data on crimes not reported to police. BJS asked the Research Council to review the bureau's programs and recommend ways to improve them.
The bureau has sustained "major shocks" to its independence in recent years, the Research Council report says. Among these challenges were an attempt in 2005 by Justice Department officials to alter the findings presented in a statistical press release -- an incident that led to the dismissal of a BJS director -- and legislative changes that have the effect of inappropriately leaving a statistical agency under the direct oversight of a program administrator.
BJS should serve as a statistical resource to DOJ, not a tool to justify the programs of the department, the report says. The bureau's chief strategic goal should be to establish and maintain a strong position of independence. Congress and the administration should make the BJS director a Senate-confirmed presidential appointee reporting directly to the attorney general or deputy attorney general; the director's term of service should be at least four years.
BJS' data collection is generally well-justified by public information needs or legal requirements, the report says. However, the report also identifies several major gaps or weak areas in BJS' coverage of criminal justice issues. White-collar crime, including fraud, public corruption, and Internet crimes, and civil justice -- including property crimes and custody disputes -- are two significant areas that are not well-addressed by existing programs at the bureau. The report notes that these gaps are sufficiently challenging that they cannot be adequately addressed at BJS' current level of funding.
BJS' National Crime Victimization Survey and the other major source of data on U.S. crime, the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program, share a common problem: lengthy lag times between data collection and full release of results. BJS should study the feasibility of compiling crime incident data already maintained in individual police departments' electronic systems, the report says. The new data collection is not intended to replace the survey or duplicate the FBI's program, but rather to leverage existing local data in order to produce a quick indicator of general national crime trends.
The report follows an interim report released by the committee last year, Surveying Victims: Options for Conducting the National Crime Victimization Survey, which examined ways to improve the survey.
The report was sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council make up the National Academies. They are independent, nonprofit institutions that provide science, technology, and health policy advice under an 1863 congressional charter.

By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK (AP) — For two old TV neighbors, all that's needed for a therapeutic reunion is a ride and a cup of Joe.
On an emotional season finale of Jerry Seinfeld's Web series, "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," Michael Richards recalls the infamous heckling incident in 2006 that he says "broke me down." The episode, which was shared with The Associated Press ahead of its online premiere Thursday evening, is a cathartic get-together for Richards, whose Kramer was hardly separated from Seinfeld by a door in the nine years of "Seinfeld."
It's one of the few times Richards has appeared in anything since, during a stand-up routine, he answered a heckler with racist slurs. Years later, Richards is clearly still scarred from the incident, for which he has repeatedly apologized and which essentially caused his withdrawal from show business.
"I busted up after that event seven years ago," Richards tells Seinfeld over a cup of coffee in Los Angles. "It broke me down. It was a selfish response. I took it too personally. I should have just said, 'Yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm not funny.'"
The title of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" relates its simple premise: Seinfeld, an avid automobile collector, picks up his guest in a car befitting the guest's personality. For Richards, Seinfeld selected a rusty 1962 VW bus with an interior patched together by duct tape.
"This is you, Michael," introduces Seinfeld.
Seinfeld launched the series with little fanfare, letting it pop up on the Internet on its own site, on Facebook and on the Sony Corp.-owned digital network Crackle. With guests like Ricky Gervais and Alec Baldwin, the 15-minute episodes offer a stylized snapshot of comedians in conversation. One guest, "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David, observed that Seinfeld had "finally done a show about nothing."
But the heartfelt and tender Richards episode is an exception. It begins, though, with Richards exuberant at being back together with his old co-star. (In 2009, both also joined in the "Seinfeld" reunion on David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm.")
"Being around you, Jerry, I'm going to turn into that crazy character," says Richards, who later adds that he could have played Kramer "for the rest of my life."
In true Kramer fashion, Richards leads Seinfeld to what he claims is the boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard's home, calling out "Sugar!" from outside. It's quickly revealed that Richards neither knows Leonard nor where he lives, and that the house is, in fact, comedian Jay Mohr's. Richards also dons a blond wig as a disguise and, bizarrely, is immediately met by someone with strikingly similar hair.
When they start exchanging memories from the "Seinfeld" days, Richards transitions to the heckling incident. He thanks Seinfeld for "sticking by me."
"Inside, it still kicks me around a bit," says Richards.
The conversation winds down after Seinfeld urges Richards to try to lay down his guilt, having carried it so long. The episode concludes with not more talking, but an elegiac, soundless montage of Richards interacting with fans who approach the two. Shuffling his feet with Kramer panache and playfully taking photos, it's a reminder of Richards' comedic gifts, undimmed if now largely unseen.

As the so-called 'Generation Z' of 16 to 24 year olds enter the workforce, they will cause chaos by using their own smartphones and tablets at work and snubbing email in favour of instant messaging and social networks - or so the theory goes.
As a result, CIOs are putting in place bring your own device policies to make sure their IT department isn't overwhelmed by these multitaskers. But it could be a waste of time: tomorrow's workforce are a more conservative bunch than widely believed, favouring email over social networks and work PCs over their iPhones, according to research.
The study, which questioned 1,000 16-24 year olds from across the UK and 200 IT decision makers, found that 'Gen Z' are far less enthusiastic about using personal devices in the workplace than CIOs.
Just under half of the young people questioned believed that personal devices make them more productive at work, compared to almost 70 per cent of IT decision makers. The majority use a PC or laptop at work, with fewer than 10 per cent using a tablet.
And despite growing up in an age of social networks, just 17 per cent of Gen Z said they wanted to use social media to talk to colleagues at work, favouring either face to face chats or email instead.
Barry Hoffman, HR director at Computacenter, the IT supplier which carried out the research, said: "The idea of this always connected, socially mobile and technologically demanding generation entering the workplace is something of a myth."
Outside of work social networking remains young people's preferred way of talking to their friends, with Hoffman adding that the way Gen Z behave outside of work is distinct from inside the office: "There is not this blurring of between work and personal life that people think".
He added that CIOs should not assume that they need to support a bring your own device (BYOD) policy and allow the open use of social media if they want to attract generation Z into their workforce.
"There is a disconnect between what the corporate world are saying this generation wants and what they say they want themselves."
In reality the employees demanding to be able to use their own devices at work are more likely to be the CIOs and senior management, than young people.
"It's more driven by those senior people who get very excited by some of the gadgets in their personal life and this is how they enter the corporate world," Hoffman said.

A Gourmet To Go Holiday Sampler
Dean FoustIf your hard-to-shop-for friends are food lovers, you could whisk them away to the airport and, hours later, escort them to dinner at K-Paul's in New Orleans or Legal Seafood in Boston. Sound impractical? Well, how about letting K-Paul's or Legal Seafood bring dinner to you?
The boom in air-express service makes it possible for dozens of well-known restaurants, as well as thousands of mom-and-pop kitchens, to ship food practically anywhere--getting even perishable goods there fast and at a reasonable price. So if you're looking for an alternative to the same old crate of grapefruit, these foods are perfect either as gifts or as a flourish to a holiday meal. (Note: Most prices don't include shipping, which ranges from around $5 for slower ground delivery to as much as $20 for overnighting of perishables. Most offer free catalogs, although a few charge a buck or two. To ensure delivery by Christmas, order by mid-December.)
YULE LOX. For a memorable dinner, consider Balducci's (800 225-3822), a shop that's the gastronomic mecca of New York's Greenwich Village. Balducci's offers such distinctive specialties as its 8-pound holiday roast--a partially cooked, multilayered mix of loin pork chops, beef and veal tenderloin, provolone, and herbs that feeds eight ($98).
For an appetizer, look no further than Homarus Inc. for savory smoked Norwegian salmon. Based in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., Homarus (800 23-SALMON) supplies Balducci's and leading delis, restaurants, and hotels, including Zabar's, the Rainbow Room, and the Beverly Hills Hotel. A 1.3-pound smoked salmon is about $42.
By New Year's Eve, you probably can't face any more turkey or roast. So how about a New England clambake? Boston's renowned Legal Seafood (800 343-5804) or Clambake Celebrations of Cape Cod (800 423-4038) will fly in live lobsters and fresh clams, plus such trimmings as potatoes, sausage, and corn, all packed in seaweed and shipped in a lobster pot. To serve six, figure $175 to $300.
A different kind of holiday spice comes from New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme, who offers Cajun favorites from the kitchens of K-Paul's (800 457-2857). For $99, shipping included, you get six to eight servings of Prudhomme's crayfish etouffee or seafood jambalaya--a tasty mix of crayfish, redfish, andouille sausage, tasso ham, and rice.
For a true down-home treat, ring up Corky's (800-9CORKYS) in Memphis. Within a day or two, you'll be feasting on some of the best wet or dry barbecue ribs anywhere (three slabs, shipping included, $90). And for a do-it-yourself barbecue, Specialty Sauces in Northbrook, Ill. (800 728-2371), offers five-packs of sauce from the country's best rib joints--such as Arthur Bryant's in Kansas City, Mo.--for $30.
If your friends have a sweet tooth, surprise them with cheesecake from Eli's Chicago's Finest Inc. (800 999-8300). For $35, the international sampler combines three slices each of ricotta, tiramisu, crme-caramel-amaretto, and white-chocolate-espresso mousse cakes. Or for a Texas treat, order the two-pound chocolate-and-pecan whiskey cake from Wunsche Brothers Cafe (713 350-6609, $20) in Spring, Tex.
Devout chocoholics will worship the creamy fudge prepared by the Brigittine monks in Amity, Ore. (503 835-8080). At $8.95 a pound, it comes in chocolate (with or without nuts), chocolate amaretto, chocolate cherry nut, and pecan praline. For something a little fancier, call Winand Chocolaterie Suisse in Concord, Mass. (508 369-8588) for its bche de Noel (yule log) of Valrhona chocolate, containing truffles and pralines. A 14-ounce log is $27.50. And Divine Delights (800 4-HEAVEN) in Novato, Calif., offers jewel-like petits fours molded in Christmas shapes for about $28 a dozen. A simpler treat comes from Old Salem in North Carolina Inc. (800 822-5151): Moravian sugar cookies, hand-rolled and cut paper-thin. Fifteen dollars gets you a one-pound tin of either plain sugar, ginger, or lemon cookies.
Java addicts can tell you if Starbucks (800 782-7282) is in their town yet: Many swear by its trademark dark-roasted blends. If they're still waiting, surprise them with Starbuck's CARE Sampler, which, at $21, contains four half-pound packs of its Guatemala Antigua, Kenya, Sumatra Boengie, and Estate Java beans.
For even more ideas, subscribe to Mail Order Gourmet, a bimonthly newsletter devoted to the subject (800 989-5996, $18 a year). Or pick up a copy of Food Finds, a 346-page directory by Allison and Margaret Engel ($16, HarperPerennial) that lists hundreds of small mail-order food providers. And with luck, maybe your friends will be willing to share their goodies.

Slidell couple sentenced in Medicare fraud case

Slidell couple sentenced in Medicare fraud case
Updated: 8:02 AM CDT Aug 16, 2013
BATON ROUGE, La. —
Two Slidell residents have been sentenced in Baton Rouge to federal prison terms for health care frauds that cost Medicare $17.1 million.
64-year-old Louis T. Age was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge James J. Brady to a prison term of 15 years.
Age's ex-wife, 60-year-old Verna Age, received a 5-year sentence. The judge ordered both to pay $17.1 million in restitution and forfeit $9.2 million in assets.
Federal prosecutors say Louis Age owned South Louisiana Home Health Care, which had offices in New Orleans and Houma. Verna Age was a part owner and also served as the firm's director of nursing.
Brady ordered Louis Age to report to federal prison on Sept. 19. The judge told Verna Age to report to prison Sept. 16.

What Attracts Women? Gemini Woman |
What Attracts Women? Gemini |
The Sun Sign is what the average person answers when you ask "What's your sign?" If Sun and Mars are in the same Sign, the attraction to that type is extra strong! For convenience, the typical dates the Sun is in a particular Sign are given. If the woman's birth date is the same as one of the "cusp dates" given here, you may find that the Sun Sign for the date one day before or after that date is more appropriate. This is because in some years the Sun moves into the next Sign one day before or after these typical "cusp dates" - and it also depends on what time of day the Sun actually crossed the Cusp. Click here for more information on Cusps. |
We can use these convenient "cusp dates" for the Sun because our calendar was designed to conform to the apparent motion of the Sun. But the position of the planet Mars does not conveniently match the calendar; so you will have to look up its position on the exact month/day/year of birth from the listings in an astrological or naval "Ephemeris", or get an inexpensive computer-calculated "natal horoscope chart" based on the birth data. Before you look up your own Mars Sign, try an experiment - read about all twelve "types" and then choose the one (other than your Sun Sign) which best describes the second "type" of man who attracts you. Is it the same "type" your Mars Sign predicts? Has your dating history included partners with that Sun Sign? |
What Attracts Women? Gemini |
NOTES TO MEN(1) If a man were to read these same descriptions which match his own natal Sun Sign, he may find some strong similarities between the traits women with that Sun Sign seek in a mate, and the ways he tends to express his own masculine side. (2) If a man were to read these same descriptions which match his own natal Mars Sign, he may find some strong similarities between these traits the same Mars Sign women are attracted to in a lover, and the kind of women who make him feel or act more masculine or "sexy", or who draw out his masculine energy (which is similar to his own Mars Sign "type"). |
It's natural for a man to quite unconsciously shift into a mode of self-expression matching his own Sun Sign "type" when in the presence of women he would like to impress. It's natural for a man to quite unconsciously shift into a mode of action matching his own Mars Sign "type" when in the presence of a woman he desires to win. If you've found someone you are interested in, and know their birth date and year, you can get a 10-15 page analysis of your mutual attractions and reactions by ordering a Cupid Compatibility Reading C1 by Michael Star. If you can provide accurate birth times for both of you, you will also get a "Mating Rating" with scores from 0 to 99% on each of seven relationship factors. |

Upcoming walk in the cold to launch new community kitchen
Whether it's the chilliest night of the year – or merely the rainiest – organizers of an upcoming charity fundraiser in Cloverdale are hoping to recruit at least 20 teams to take part in the Coldest Night of the Year walk.
The Feb. 22 event is all part of a nation-wide initiative focusing on raising awareness of homelessness and collecting funds for local non-profits working to address the needs of the homeless.
Locally, teams will walk 2, 5 or 10 km routes through the historic town centre in support of the new Cloverdale Community Kitchen – hosted and built by Pacific Community Church as the result of 14-month-long fundraising campaign.
Nearly up-and-running now that construction is complete, the kitchen will be home to three existing programs assisting Cloverdale's homeless along with new programs.
Last year, 8,000 walkers braved the nation's toughest weather (Feb. 22 on average is close to the time of year when Canada's at its coldest), raising more than $1.6 million for various charities across the country.
The aim is to give participants a taste of what it's like to experience a cold night spent outdoors, like a homeless person might experience it.
The goal in Cloverdale is to raise $30,000 to help launch the new community kitchen. At least 20 team captains are needed to recruit 7 to 8 of their friends, family members, or coworkers, with a goal of raising $2,000 per team. Walkers without teams, volunteers and sponsors are also needed.
It's one of three walks taking place in Surrey. The other two are helping the Surrey Urban Mission and Sources Community Resources Society.
Cloverdale walk director Jim Heuving said the opportunity to join in the Coldest Night of the Year was too good to pass up.
"It sounded like a great way to raise awareness on homelessness and focus on the community kitchen," said Heuving, who's also a pastor at Pacific Community Church.
The event is the official launch of the Cloverdale Community Kitchen initiative.
"We really need to finance it," he said.
Between 14 and 15 teams have now signed on for the Cloverdale event, where already $6,000 has been pledged to the cause.
The walk is from 4-8 p.m., but participants on the shorter routes will be done well before 8 p.m., he said. A light meal will be provided when walkers return to the starting line at Pacific Community Church. In the past few weeks, the church has received nearly all the necessary approvals for the new community kitchen from Fraser Health, engineers, the Surrey Fire Department, and the City of Surrey – save one.
The architect did a last inspection on Monday, and the final occupancy permit is imminent.
Meanwhile, supporters can "tour" the new kitchen in a video posted to YouTube on Jan. 16.
The video shows a fully-functional commercial kitchen with all the ingredients, including prep tables and storage, a professional washing system, grill line, convection oven, griddle, monstrous range hood and fans, plus a pantry and walk-in cooler.
It's everything required for church groups and volunteers to serve up hot meals and meet Food Safe requirements.
Prior to construction, three different church groups including Pacific Community Church were serving up to 70-100 hot meals a week out of facilities that were completely inadequate.
"In many ways the process to fundraise and build the kitchen seems to have been a very long process," project manager Alan Caldwell told supporters last week.
"However, I was reminded the other evening that from the launch of our $400,000 fundraising campaign for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen to completion has been just a little over 14 months."
That includes a seven week wait for the building permit, he added.
Support for the project from the community, the church congregation, and the business community has been critical.
"Together we made this happen," he said. "You made it all possible."
Caldwell said the completion of a commercial kitchen is only the beginning, because it will spur new programs.
"We are all very excited about what it means to our own church, but what it means we can be doing in terms of [being] a catalyst for our community."
To get involved with the Coldest Night of the Year as a walker, volunteer or sponsor, contact walk director Jim Heuving at 604-574-4001 or sign up the website: www.coldestnightoftheyear.org and choose "Cloverdale" under the heading for "location."

The Nikon D40 was announced just under four months ago, and yet here we are with a new version of that camera. The D40X has the same compact lightweight body and easy to use control layout, in fact the only external physical difference is the badge. Under the bonnet Nikon has swapped out the D40's six megapixel CCD for a ten megapixel unit, this also provides a lower base sensitivity of ISO 100 and must utilize dual readout because continuous shooting frame rate has gone up from 2.5 fps to 3.0 fps. Based on the specs and features this camera is clearly aiming to knock the EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi) off its pedestal.
Auto Focus only for AF-S or AF-I lenses
As with the D40 the D40X doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor (AF-S and AF-I lenses). The lack of a drive motor can be seen by the missing mechanical focus drive pin on the lens mount (see images below).
D40 / D40X lens mount | D80 lens mount |
Nikon D40X key features
- 10 megapixel DX format CCD (1.5x FOV crop)
- Nikon Image processing engine (as D80 / D200)
- 3D Color Matrix Metering II, 420 pixel sensor (as D80 / D50)
- New Multi-CAM530 three area AF sensor
- ISO sensitivity range 100 - 1600 plus HI 1 (3200 equiv.)
- 3.0 fps continuous shooting, unlimited in JPEG
- No status LCD, new LCD monitor based status / settings screens
- Help suggestions on LCD monitor (eg. scene too dark, try using flash)
- Large 2.5" 230,000 pixel LCD monitor
- Bigger viewfinder view (x0.8 magnification, 95% coverage)
- Short shutter lag and viewfinder blackout
- Support for SDHC (SD cards over 2 GB in capacity)
- In-camera retouching
- D-Lighting (shadow / highlight enhancement)
- Red-eye reduction
- Trimming
- Monochrome
- Filter effects
- Small picture
- Image overlay
- USB 2.0 with PTP and Mass Storage device support
- Very compact, light body (smaller, lighter than D50)
- Improved menu user interface (as D80 / D200)
- New EN-EL9 Lithium-Ion battery (7.2V, 1000 mAh)
- New 'Version II' AF-S DX 18-55 mm kit lens
Differences compared to the D40
- 10 megapixel sensor
- Lower base sensitivity (ISO 100 vs ISO 200)
- Auto ISO option includes ISO 200
- Faster continuous shooting (3 fps vs. 2.5 fps)*
* Slower with noise reduction enabled
Review notes
Because of the similarities between the two the first half of this review (up to page 12) is based on our review of the D40.


text: 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake Hits TurkeyOn October 23, 2011, an earthquake, measured at 7.2 in magnitude, struck Turkey in Van Province, near the border of Iran. The death toll quickly rose to more than 360 and was expected to climb higher. Rescue teams worked quickly to find survivors in more than 2,260 buildings that had collapsed from the earthquake. More than 1,300 were injured in what was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the area in recent years. More than 50 countries offered aid, including Israel, despite strained relations between the two countries. Officials in Turkey denied reports that the government refused Israel's offer. In the days immediately following the earthquake, the Turkish Government said that it planned to build 3,000 houses and would postpone residents' tax collections for a full year.

Helpful Tips and Hints
Stress Free Furniture Removal Tips
Relocating and moving can be a stressful occasion for most people or businesses. However, taking some careful planning and organising can help make the big move alot easier than most people make it.
Hiring a professional furniture removal company is one way to take the hassle out of moving, however some people simply can't afford the expense and prefer to tackle it themselves. Most furniture removal companies will cut their prices if the client undertakes some procedures which will make the removalists job easier. Some of these are listed below.
A Quick List of Furniture Removal Tips
- Make a comprehensive list of what you will be packing and moving to your new destination
- Sell, give away or hold a garage sale for anything that you no longer need or use
- Organise your belongings and personal items into groups eg. fragile, consumables etc
- Purchase or obtain suitable strong cardboard boxes. Try approaching any local businesses who would normally throughout such boxes.
Removal Materials Need
- Strong cardboard boxes
- Packing Tap
- Wrapping paper/old news paper, bubble wrap, tissue paper
- Texters to label boxes
- Notes for wrapping. Makes unpacking at the other end alot easier
When packing fragile and breakable items always take time to make sure they adequately wrapped with bubble wrap, news paper or even old news paper. for larger items use towels, old linen and or blankets to help cushion any rough any fragile or breakable items that are already wrapped.
Another useful item is zip lock bags that are great for storing small items that end up cluttering your draws.
Never Rush Furniture Removal or Packing
Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to start packing. You should start with those items that never get used. Always do one room at a time if time permits. Going from one room to another always leads to confusion and makes removal alot more stressful. Make a list of the items that you need for your daily routine. Everything else which isn't on that list can be packed away ready to transport.
Packing Valuables
For this example we will refer to valuables as those things including, wills, jewelry, photographs, home and family videos, investment related documents. These type of valuables, were appropriate, should always travel with you.
Packing Bulky Items
One of the last pieces of furniture to be packed will be your bed. When you take apart your bed be sure to tape the frames and rails together to avoid them rubbing against each other in transit. As with your tables, and any other furniture, wrap them in old linen or blankets to stop them being scratched or damaged. Check any user manuals for transportation instructions on any white goods. Most are fine along as they aren't layed down or carried up side down. Be sure to tape any draws or ice containers in your fridges or freezers.
All mirrors should be securely wrapped in old linen or blankets. Roll up any rugs or carpets and tie them down using rope or thick sticky tape.
These are some helpful tips and advice to assist your furniture removal and take some of the stress out of your relocating. Remember it is always important to be organised well ahead of time.

Rooted (Summer Cocktail Edition)
Over lunch a few days ago, a friend suggested I take a stab at making ginger beer. Not quite a Three Cubed project, perhaps, but not something I'd ever even thought about making in my home kitchen before. She sent me a recipe, and I filed it away for future crafting.
As these things tend to unfold, a few nights later I was at my favorite dining establishment and the summer cocktail list included a tempting item called a Root Cup. This drink involved said gingery beverage plus lemon, cucumber, and (bonus points) a new-to-me liquor called Root, produced by our friends to the north, Art in the Age. The friendly Woodberry Kitchen bartender showed me the lovely watercolor reproductions of herbs on the bottle and explained the contents, but the producer has actually made a short movie about it (it's that kind of operation) which you can watch for a much more illuminating explanation than I could type here.
Based on my internet research, I wasn't sure Root could be sourced locally for common purchase, but of course it was available at the Wine Source. In fact, a few people before me had clearly also been bitten by the bug and there was only a single bottle left on the shelf.
If you can juice (thank you, $5 yard sale juicer) and measure, you can make ginger beer. The ingredients in the recipe I followed are lemon juice, ginger juice, and simple syrup, plus water and a pinch (and I do mean a pinch–more on that below) of champagne yeast. Pour it into flip-top bottles, shake well, and leave it to brew in a dark, warm place for 48 hours. Then refrigerate and get ready to get your cocktail on.
By 6 p.m. this evening, we were ready to experiment. Drink production started explosively enough, since I apparently had not taken the "25 grains of yeast" proviso literally enough. Fair warning all: This recipe tastes great but the dude is serious about the teeny tiny itsy bitsy amount of yeast needed to make the bubbles. I lost a good portion of the brew when I popped the swingtop and the carbonated beverage spewed forth, over the top of the bottle and across the counter with frightening speed (not pictured due to frantic mopping). If you want to work this into a volcano demonstration for your kids, by all means. Otherwise, be stingy with the yeast, keep cameras and pets clear, and maybe open the bottle over the sink just to be safe.
Once that little bit of drama was cleaned up, the drink itself was a welcome reward. To my taste, it's a perfect match to a setting sun and a summer swing. A little sweet, a little bubbly, the alcohol not offering too harsh a bite. This is going to become a habit, I can tell already.

Wow, you take lovely pictures. I loved your blog. Do visit my curry blog at
I've been dying to try Root, but haven't found it in Indiana and I don't think it can be shipped here either. But this looks so refreshing, I love those pretty blue bottles!
[…] while I contemplated what to make. In the end, most of my construction work ended up in jars. More ginger beer, more yogurt, more watermelon juice (mixing this with seltzer is my new favorite drink, and […]
Sounds great. I'll take a case. Just kidding. Kind of. Love the blue bottles too!

Nienhuis is an associate professor of English at Western Carolina University. In this essay he examines the nature of myth as it pertains to Shepard's play. Nienhuis also discusses the abundant humor in the work.
As critic Frank Rich pointed out in his New York Times review of the original Off-Broadway production of Shepard's play, "True West is a worthy direct descendant of Mr. Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class and Buried Child. Many of his persistent recent themes are present and accounted for—the spiritual death of the American family, the corruption of the artist by business, the vanishing of the Western wilderness and its promising dream of freedom." Critics and scholars have since elaborated on these and related themes, pointing out, for example, that Lee represents the vanishing "old" West and Austin the plasticized, overdeveloped "new" West of Hollywood and its adjacent suburbs. It...

text: Upper Big Branch marker to be placed at courthouse By The Associated Press March 25, 2013 BECKLEY, W.Va. -- A memorial marker honoring the 29 miners killed in the Upper Big Branch mine explosion is being placed on the Raleigh County Courthouse lawn.The Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce will unveil the marker on April 5, the third anniversary of the disaster.Chamber member Mick Bates tells The Register-Herald that the dedication ceremony will memorialize the fallen miners and recognize those who continue to mine coal and provide electricity for the nation. The memorial marker was funded through a partnership of the chamber and the Raleigh County Commission, along with a state grant. Another memorial honoring the Upper Big Branch miners is located in a small park-like plaza in Whitesville. It was dedicated in July 2012. Volunteers raised money for that project.

'Advocates' would destroy farmland
Editor: Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Who is misleading who?
Everyone in Langley probably has received misleading election flyers from at least four of the six-pack concerning agricultural support. One piece states, "a clear, independent voice for Langley Township council."
On the back I read, "We need to preserve our rural heritage...and protection of agricultural lands...a system of mass transit (whether that is buses, light rail or SkyTrain)." Good grief, as far as the "clear voice" is concerned, this councillor who voted in lock step with the six-pack slate for the Mufford overpass that would destroy HBC farmland and the rural heritage of Milner?
Now we see the big yellow IAFF Local 4550 sign, supporting six of our present council who supported paying off the $8.3 boondoggle of the Langley Events Centre, rejected the staff report on a Property Endowment Trust Fund, but gave us a tax increase of five per cent each year over five years.
Canadian Federation of Independent Business reports that operating spending by B.C. municipalities has nearly quadrupled in the past decade, compared to the rate of population growth and inflation. In spite of a 214 per cent increase in revenues from government transfers over the decade, taxpayers can't afford spending that outpaces population and the rate of inflation.
It is beyond outrage that the politicians who voted to destroy the HBC farmland and the heritage community of Milner have the nerve to stick their signs on the very farmland that would now be pavement, against all public interest. This brings to light a new meaning of the word "independent."
In fact, to many of the present council, "independent" appears to mean "apart from the democratic will of the electorate."
It is time for a truly independent and new financially responsible council which truly respects the taxpayer, supports agriculture, and a Property Endowment Trust Fund.
The present five percenters have to go. Good luck to Mayor Rick Green.
Dean Holcombe,

The Bush administration has taken direct aim at Noah's ark in its latest attack on the environment. Instead of asking Congress to adequately fund the US Fish and Wildlife Service's division that enforces the Endangered Species Act the administration is seeking to strip key provisions from the Act to make it cheaper to administer.
This move could push hundreds of American species closer to the edge of extinction in the coming year. The Bush changes could keep the New England cottontail rabbit, along with hundreds of other American species, from getting federal protection, ironically on the eve of the Easter weekend. The administration proposal is likely to benefit developers, timber companies, mining corporations, and other special interests with ties to the administration.
"We came very close to wiping out the American bison, the bald eagle, the wolf, and the grizzly bear," said Earthjustice executive director Buck Parker. "Now the Bush administration is happy to stand by and deny a host of American birds, animals and plants the protection they desperately need and deserve."
The bill's changes would affect hundreds of species at various stages of ESA review. This includes some 249 species currently awaiting review by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The proposed level of funding from the administration doesn't come close to giving the Fish and Wildlife Service what they need to handle the problem – twice as many as the 80 people nationwide currently working on it. More ominously, the bill would also suspend parts of the Endangered Species Act that compel the government to act in a timely manner in dealing with America's vanishing species.
"We don't have the luxury of time when trying to save vanishing species," said Earthjustice attorney Todd True. "Every day more land is paved over, more of America's forests are mowed down, and more of America's waterways are polluted and diverted. Americans care about the natural world around us in this great land of Lewis and Clark, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. We have to act now."
Specifically, the bill would drop several important deadlines currently contained in the ESA. Dropping the deadlines would neutralize one of the key tools citizen activists have used to move ESA compliance along.
"In the last decade, due to political pressure from industries, few species have made it onto the list without deadline enforcement by citizens," said Earthjustice attorney Mike Sherwood. "Bush's proposals would make listing decisions voluntary by removing the law's deadlines. And it would leave the notoriously anti-ESA Gale Norton to decide which species deserve to live and which would be too expensive to save. That is like deciding that it is okay for 10 or 15 or 100 rivets to fall out of a jet airliner before it needs to be taken in for repair. Who is to say which is the rivet that will make the plane crash to the ground?"
One deadline forces the government to respond within 90 days after receiving a petition to "list" a species. Another forces the government to issue a "proposed determination" within 12 months of receiving a listing petition. A third deadline compels the government to make a "final determination" within 24 months of receiving the petition.
Yet another deadline that is being dropped says the government has to designate critical habitat at the time of listing a species. This means the government has to determine the actual real estate that is critical for the species to recover. Typically the government asks for and receives a one-year extension to designate critical habitat. This deadline also gets dropped under the Bush proposal.
Historically the government has failed to add species deserving protection to the ESA list and has only done so when forced to by citizen groups. Ninety-two percent of all species listed in California during the last nine years were as a result of citizen petition and court order. The government has typically failed to designate critical habitat within the time prescribed in the ESA and typically does so only after court orders instigated by citizen groups.
"The Bush proposal will shut out regional citizen groups who want to protect their local wildlife," said Mike Sherwood.
The Bush proposal would start a new rule-making process aimed at establishing a hierarchy of which species would get attention under a limited FWS budget.

One of the greatest things about the New York Yankees is their rivalry with the Boston Red Sox. While this has had an ebb and flow to it – some years are better/worse than others – the disdain that the teams' fans feel toward each other is timeless. Until this year, perhaps.
On Sunday morning Boston sat 15 games out of first place behind the Yankees. The only team the Red Sox are battling right now are the Blue Jays, for who ends up in the basement of the AL East. Boston has traded practically all the players Bombers' fans love to hate, leaving them with a bit of a void. That last blockbuster deal with LA was the final straw.
Baltimore – that's right BALTIMORE – is making a run at first and the Rays are still hanging in. It's been a long time since a Yankees fan has hated the Orioles for being good. Think like Earl Weaver and Jim Palmer long time.
From the Sox faithful all that they can come up with is, "As long as the Yankees don't win the World Series, I'm ok." But are they really?
It's a very troubling time for Red Sox and Yankees fans. Without your rivals around, how much fun is it to win?

Salmo hosts second Nancy Green Zone Race
On Feb. 3, Salmo Ski Hill was a friendly host of the second Nancy Greene zone race of the season. The NG Summit Lake racers had a great turnout with even a few first time racers.
Due to some rain on the hill the week before, Salmo had to change the schedule of racing from a slalom course and a giant slalom course to only a GS course. The teams were informed that they may only be racing once depending on conditions. Race officials then monitored how the snow was holding up through the first run and determined they could have the racers compete in a second course.
Soon the flags were efficiently reset and the teams did not have to wait long before getting to hit the slopes for their second GS course.
Savannah Olsen, a first time racer, said her favourite part of the day was "skiing with friends after the race." Everyone enjoyed skiing a great hill for the afternoon while they waited for the race results. Our NGSL teams did great, coming in with third place!
Next on the schedule of races Summit Lake ski racers will host a Nancy Greene zone race on Feb. 17, and teams from four other ski hills will be coming out to compete.
Summit Lake Ski Hill will have their club races on Feb. 24, and everyone is invited to come out, sign up and enjoy a great day on the hill.

Mo's Burgers, hahaha youll get fat. Have fun.
Back in Bangkok
Trip Start
Jan 09, 2013
Trip End
Jan 22, 2013
I stepped into a mall nearby and the malls here are ginormous. They usually have 4-5 floors of shops, with the top floor occupying restaurants and food court. I found a Japanese restaurant in the mall and they had an authentic Japanese menu, like yakizakana (grilled fish), oyakodon (fried chicken with egg over rice), chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), and Japanese hamburger with demiglas sauce!!! I had the tonkatsu set (fried pork over rice) and I was in heaven. Nothing makes me happier than eating good food and being on a beautiful beach :-). I may have to go back there tomorrow.
It is brutally HOT in Bangkok.
And humid. When I step outside, it feels like I walked into a steam bath. If I just stand outside without moving, sweat will start to drip down the sides of my face, my back and my chest. It's so gross. I love Thailand but this heat is so draining.
I am staying at a hostel and I've met so many people here in just 1 day! Yesterday I met Robert, a guy from San Fran and we went looking for some street curry. Paid $1 for a yummy coconut bamboo and chicken curry. Tonight I met Veneria from Germany and Humi from Holland and we hit the streets for dinner. Found a noodle shop and had a bowl of noodle soup with spinach and chicken for $1.25. When I came back to the hostel, I met a whole bunch of Japanese people and we all just sat in a circle and chatted for a couple of hours. They were so much fun!
You just never stop meeting new people out here. And they all have different backgrounds and travel stories so they are almost always fascinating to talk to. Today was a good day :-)
I am a bit worried about tomorrow. I was planning on going to a train station to buy a ticket to the islands. But a guy at the hostel told me today that the tickets are sold out for the next 2 days due to upcoming Songkran (Thai New Year). I guess I need to get over there myself and find out what the situation is. I hope I can successfully leave Bangkok as scheduled!!

A few weeks ago, Karl Alzner packed up his things in his car and left British Columbia for D.C. Along for the ride were his wife, Mandy, and their three dogs, Duncan, Charlie and Murphy.
"Thiry-three hours, 54 minutes," said Alzner, who was quite proud of making good time.
Alzner broke up the drive into three legs, for the benefit of the wife and furry friends.
"The first day I have so much energy, I feel like I could drive for 16 hours," Alzner said. "And honestly, if it was just me driving, no dogs, I'd probably go all the way through."
Instead, they made stops in Minot, N.D., and Rockford, Ill., where he knew there were pet-friendly hotels. Alzner said that the couple learned the hard way how important it was to plan ahead when traveling with dogs.
"We've got them figured out now, so we know where to go," he said. "The first time we did it, we drove to Chicago the first night and then to Minot. Minot had a conference and all the hotels that were open didn't accept dogs. So we had to drive straight across the border. That was a 16-hour day, so we learned from that mistake. Now we know ahead of time where to stop."
It takes a special couple to be able to spend three days in a car together, and Alzner said the road trip was smooth sailing.
"We're great," he said, of traveling with his wife. "That's the third or fourth time we've done it. We've had a lot of long trips together. She talks to me a lot, keeps me into it. She was going through "Sons of Anarchy," trying to catch up. So she would play an episode and I would just listen to it, because I've already seen most of them. It was actually really smooth."
"We listened to the Comedy Central roasts," he continued. "They were playing them over and over. We even listened to the Roseanne Barr one two or three times. It was so funny."
Suspect taste in comedy aside, Alzner's said it was a good trip. He even tweeted his arrival, proving his efficient travel time to the world.

O.C. baritone wins Met Opera regional contest
An Orange County native won a prestigious singing competition this week and is headed to the Metropolitan Opera.
Efraín Solís of Santa Ana took top honors on Sunday at the Western Regional Finals of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in Los Angeles. The baritone will now head to the National Semifinals in March, when the competition continues on the stage of the venerable New York City opera house.
Solís said on Tuesday that the big win hadn't quite sunk in yet.
"I feel honored to be part of it, to be able to stand on the Met stage," he added by phone from the Bay Area, where he is studying at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. "What more can a 23-year-old ask for?"
The Met's annual National Council Auditions, which date to the 1950s, are designed to find new talent for the company as well as for its Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. The auditions are held in 13 regions in the U.S. and Canada, which are in turn broken down into 40 districts.
Solís won the district auditions in San Francisco on Oct. 7, then the regional, which was held at the Colburn School. The regional contest was taped by KUSC and will be broadcast in December. Soprano Tracy Cox, a member of the young artist program at Los Angeles Opera, will join Solís in New York for the national semifinals.
Born and raised in Santa Ana, Solís is a first generation Mexican American and the first in his family to receive a college degree, from Chapman University's Conservatory of Music in 2011. He is in his second year of the master's program at the San Francisco Conservatory.
He credits his parents, both of whom performed in church, and his public school teachers (he attended Saddleback High School) for encouraging his interest in singing.
In the regionals, Solís sang Figaro's "Aprite un po' quegli occhi" from Act Four of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" and Onegin's aria from Act One of Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin."
About 10 of the semifinalists are chosen for the Grand Finals, a public concert on the Met stage that is accompanied by the Met Opera Orchestra and broadcast nationwide on the Metropolitan Opera Radio Network. The Grand Winners, approximately five, will receive $15,000 and are automatically considered for the Lindemann Development Program.
A number of notable singers have come through the National Council Auditions, including Renée Fleming, Ben Heppner, Deborah Voigt, Eric Owens and Frederica von Stade.
Solís is eagerly anticipating the nationals in New York. Every few hours he is reminded of it and has to calm himself down.
"To think of all the people who stood on that stage is overwhelming," he said.

Virgin Atlantic is promoting its daily flights to Mumbai with a poster campaign by Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R.

The poster shows the sky at night, which is in Virgin's trademark red instead of midnight blue. In the top right hand corner where the moon should be is a half-eaten poppadom. Copy reads "Mumbai. Every night."

Wordless Wednesday ~ Keeping People On Their Toes
Meet Annie (Pointer) Paddelford Ritter and either Mr. Paddelford or Mr. Ritter. I have a Pointer and Williams Family Reunion photo from 1914 [It's the one in my blog header up above.], and in it is Annie's 2nd husband, Mr. Ritter, who looks nothing like this man above. Therefore, I think this is her first husband, Charles Paddelford. I first introduced you to Annie with a postcard that she sent her brother Harvey Lewis Pointer, my husband's 1st great-grandfather, in the blog post I Just Needed a Sign.
I just love this photo of Annie. Her hat just screams fun! Zany! And with her eyeglasses she looks like a school teacher, doesn't she? I don't believe she was a school teacher, though. I wonder if she was ever told she looked like one? I get that a lot, especially when I'm doing research on the go at one of the kids' basketball practices. With all the paperwork I'm poring over, they just naturally assume I'm grading papers. Or when people learn that my degree is in English, they always assume I teach it. I love keeping people on their toes, and I think that's what I like about this photo of Annie. She just looks like she kept people on their toes too.
Plus? I love the fact that a postcard of Annie's still exists and is in the family archives.

Foodies and culture lovers flocked to the fifth annual Charleston Fine Arts Dealers' Association's Palette & Palate Stroll last Friday. The highly anticipated event paired local chefs with 12 CFADA galleries for an unforgettable evening fraught with sensory experiences.
While some Charlestonians were content to relax, mingle, and slowly make their way through the scenic French Quarter, others ambitiously flitted from gallery to gallery, trying to experience all twelve pairings before the end of the evening. "It's more a sprint than a stroll for me!" one guest laughed.
The twelve participating galleries feature a range of work from celebrated local and internationally renown artists, and each was host to one of Charleston's prestigious chefs. Those who attended took in the pieces while nibbling on a wide range of gourmet savory bites, such as Chef Mike Lata's Sheep's Milk Ricotta & Mint Gnocchi, Chef Todd Garrigan's Lemon Marinated Scallops with Cucumber, Caviar, and Radish, and Chef Richard Barlion's Shrimp Ceviche with Green Tomato and Pineapple. Each gallery offered complimentary wine pairings, and guests at Ella Walton Richardson Fine Art sipped on Blu's refreshing Cucumber and Lemon Infused Gin cocktail.
Founded in 1999 by gallery owners and artists, the Charleston Fine Art Dealers' Association is dedicated to developing Charleston's art community and building and maintaining the city's reputation as a fine art destination. To date, the CFADA has donated over $245,000 to the Charleston County High School Fine Arts Programs, and the Palette & Palate Stroll benefits the CFADA's visual arts scholarship.

- - Is she worth a 21 hour drive??
Is she worth a 21 hour drive?? http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1802382 She is about 21 hours away from me in New York. Do you think she would be worth going to see? Do you think she has any potential for improvement? My goal would be to put a little work into her over the winter and show her next summer in local green classes. And the price seems right! One thing I do know is she is stinking CUTE!!! Posted via Mobile Device |
Here is the video: Hollidazzle Lena - YouTube Don't ask me why the address looks weird, but it worked for me! Lol Posted via Mobile Device |
730 Attachment(s) Hi idea but she is really cute haha |
She's nice but I wouldn't drive 21 hours for her... |
I like her a little. She has a couple little things in her confo that aren't ideal (straighter hocks, long back) but she still looks like a nice enough little ride. Trot might be a bit rough, but that's not uncommon in cow bred horses. There are a lot of things that can be improved on her if you have the knowledge or budget for more intensive and proper training. Her lead change that they did show looked rather rough (hoppity-skip and really threw her head) and her spins were just...bad. Wrong pivot foot, she looked like she was backing into them and didn't really seem to know where her feet were at. In the circles, she seemed way overbent to me. A good reiner needs to have bend in their body, but they should also be following their nose along the arc. She had her nose way to the inside of the circle and it made her look like she was shouldering out the entire time. They were also right about her stop, it needs quite a bit of work. She's still landing pretty heavy on her front end and it's a 4 footed stop. Of course, I have no idea how much of that might have been rider error, but.... She looks like she has a lot of potential to improve. She'll probably never be "great", but more than likely she'd do well at the level you're looking for...with the proper training. The main question is whether you think she's worth traveling so far to see a horse that needs so much work. Personally, I wouldn't, but that may just be me. |
730 Attachment(s) *No idea.. not Hi o_O |
I think she is pretty cute & has a good start on her but yes needs more finishing hence I guess why they have her priced lower as not a finished horse.I thought though she would be more advanced than that said she was in training as 2 yr old, just that would make me want a full PPE.How much pro training has she actually had & how much is the owner just been trying to work with her that may be the reason she is not so finished:-( Don't think she stands out that much that i'd be driving that far to check her out:shock: I'd be asking for more alot more info,videos & pics first:D If you are still smitten with her then you can make that decision about travelling.:wink: |
Thanks!! My budget is pretty tight. I'm actually horse shopping for a friends "spare" horse aka the horse I ride 99.9% of the time. I've been looking for some finished horses and I sadly many of them aren't within my 5-6,000 price range, which I know is VERY tight to begin with. Plus I live on Long Island so as soon as you bring any horse here their price skyrockets. Lol. Hence why I'm looking out of state and unfinished. I did sent the owners an email stating exactly what I need this.horse to do. Hopefully they can send me more pictures and videos too. I'm also going to have my trainer look at the videos, depending on if my friend likes her. I guess I'll go from there. Any more opinions are MORE then welcome! Thanks everyone! Posted via Mobile Device |
Remember you'll have to transport her 21 hours, or rather do the journey in legs and have stopovers so it will take a lot longer than that. Could be costly - even if you float her yourselves you'll need to pay board at the stopovers. Posted via Mobile Device |
If she was in Missouri, I would have checked her out for you. But Wisconsin is too far. If you like her you could pay a reputable person from the area to go look at her for you. |

It's only a matter of time until A&E has a show called Daddy Wars where these old geezers fight to protect the honor of their middle aged son's message board identity. And between the fights, they play Pinochle, eat pierogis, flirt with the blue haired ladies in the home they live in, and play picture picture (whatever the F that is).
The good news, after one loss, is that there is a long season left to play. The bad news could be that there is a a long season left to play. Gonna choose to stay positive, even in the face of some clear concerns, as long as I can.

Rising out of the underground in the mid 90's, Garage and 2-step has been a major part of the dance music landscape ever since. Characterized by irresistible, hip-shaking swing and always providing the body moving factor be it through grinding on the dance-floor or a nodding head to that latest radio hit, garage music is truly here to stay.
With recent artists such as Disclosure and Mosca taking heavy influence from that 2 step sound and the resurgence of key garage pioneers such as Todd Edwards returning to the fore, it was inevitable that Rankin Audio would retrace it's roots only to deliver the finest pack of garage grooves this side of the Watford gap. So we called in the inimitable talent of Sheffield via Brighton's finest purveyor of swung riddims, DJ DeadbeatUK. This rising star delivers only the most authentic garage sounds. From classic 187 Lockdown and Double99 inspired drum-loops to the organ stabs and vocal chops popularised by the likes of MJ Cole and his contemporaries, this pack really has everything you could need to finish your own 2-step anthem. As usual, the focus is on usability meaning each sound has been carefully processed and is ready to drop straight into your tracks to instantly add that illusive garage vibe.
So re-ee-wind that demo and get steppin'.
