Over a decade ago, the city of Town & Country decided to hold a summer celebration, setting off fireworks and distributing free ice cream to residents. After the tried-and-true combination of fireworks and frozen treats became a local tradition, the annual event became known as "Fire & Ice."
The name has stuck, becoming locally synonymous with beating the heat and spending time with friends and family.
With some minor differences and returning traditions, the 2017 Fire & Ice event celebrates the summer on June 24 at the city's Town Square property, located off of Clayton Road. The event will be held from 6-9 p.m., with fireworks taking place at approximately 9:15 p.m.
Last year, Fire & Ice drew about 3,000 attendees, and the city anticipates a similar turnout this year.
A Town & Country tradition
The original inspiration for Fire & Ice was another local event called Jubilee Jamboree, held in 2000 in honor of Town & Country's 50th anniversary. The event featured an early version of the "Our Town, Our Country" parade, plus carnival rides, a petting zoo and a fireworks show.
In the 17 years since, the event has become a Town & Country tradition, known for its devoted sponsors, kid-friendly activities and local cuisine.
Through 2009, Fire & Ice was held near what is now Westminster Christian Academy. From 2010-2013 it was located west of Target in Town & Country Crossing. Since 2014, it has been on the Wirth property, the future location of the city's Town Square.
"This is our third location for the event, and each location had its own unique features," said Anne Nixon, director of Parks and Recreation. "Having the event at our soon-to-be Town Square is very exciting. Having people gather and having fireworks shot off right in the center of town makes it extra-special for everyone."
Nixon has been with the Parks and Recreation Department for 10 years and has watched the event evolve to include local sponsorship, live bands and help from dozens of local businesses and restaurants.
No parade this year
One of the changes made to the 2017 event is the absence of the traditional "Our Town, Our Country" parade. According to Nixon, the parade will be cancelled in 2017 in anticipation of inclement heat and storms, weather patterns that have affected the parade in previous years.
"We're not having the parade for Fire & Ice this year, but we do plan to have it next year," Nixon said. "It may become a semi-annual event, so we're still working on that."
Nighttime fireworks display
One of the Fire & Ice highlights is the fireworks display that occurs after dark. The show will be set to a choreographed soundtrack and launched from The Principia's field, located at 13201 Clayton Road. Attendees will be able to view the fireworks from the north side of Clayton Road on The Principia's property, or the south side of Clayton Road on the Town Square property.
Preparation for the fireworks has spanned several months, with the city's Board of Aldermen unanimously approving a motion at a May 22 board meeting authorizing the Parks & Recreation Department to enter into an agreement with J&M Displays, Inc. to issue a purchase order of about $7,600 for the show. According to Anne Nixon, director of Parks and Recreation, the same bonus was approved for the 2016 fireworks.
"It's really a wonderful show with really intimate fireworks, just because of the proximity from where they are launched to where people can view them," Nixon said.
Food and drink
In addition to the fireworks display, attendees can expect to see a variety of local cuisine at the Taste of Town & Country dining area, which will be lined with booths from local restaurants.
Some of the booths include Mike Duffy's Pub and Grill, Farotto's, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Menchie's, Kona Ice and Subway. Residents will be able to purchase grilled food, cold beverages and desserts.
The Taste of Town & Country dining area was added in 2006.
For restaurants like Mike Duffy's Pub & Grill, which has been involved with Taste of Town & Country since its inception, getting involved has become a community tradition. Mike Duffy's is the only restaurant to have been involved in every Fire & Ice event.
"We've always done it because we like to stay involved in the community, and we've got a lot of business from regulars here," said Kirk Spisak, general manager of Mike Duffy's.
According to Spisak, the dining area has a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of a backyard barbecue.
"We actually grill out there," Spisak said. "We obviously sell our famous burgers, but we do hot dogs as well. We get our kitchen managers out there and they're cooking everything up on the grill."
The event is advertised as cash only, and an ATM is available at the Midland Bank in Mason Woods Village.
Live music
Steven J. Push, a Nashville-based musician and former St. Louis-area middle school literature teacher, is returning to the area with his band, "Push."
"We're really excited to have him back in town," said Nixon. "We try to keep the musicians local whenever we can."
With a blues-pop style based on musicians like Ray LaMontagne and Martin Sexton, the band played at Fire & Ice five years ago and will be returning to do a mix of covers and original music from their latest album.
"It's nice to have something to come back to," said Steven Push. "Maybe after we play this second time, we can keep coming back down the line if it works for both the city and where we are as a band."
Kid-friendly activities
The event boasts many activities for kids of all ages. Bounce houses will be available, and the Bubble Bus also will make an appearance at the event.
Based in Valley Park, the Bubble Bus is a retired school bus painted with bright colors and 60s-inspired patterns. Workers use the bus to haul bubble-blowing equipment on site.
"Some of their workers blow some of the really large bubbles, and some of them have smoke inside," Nixon said. "It just sort of fills the area with bubbles."
Shuttles and parking
Clayton Road is scheduled to remain open throughout the event. The Town & Country Police will be available to control traffic. Residents also will be able to utilize the pedestrian crosswalk between Straub's and the West County EMS & Fire Station, as well as the Clayton Road Trail.
Parking will be available at The Principia, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Longview Farm Park. A shuttle will make runs to and from the fire station and the church.
Community involvement
Fire & Ice continues to draw familiar businesses, restaurants and locals back to the area for an annual celebration that's been decades in the making.
Two recurring sponsors, Mari de Villa Senior Living and Coldwell Banker Gundaker, have sponsored the event for about 10 years.
According to Dana Devers, branch manager of Coldwell Banker Gundaker, the branch works hand-in-hand with the city to determine what forms of kid-friendly entertainment the company can provide.
Devers said one of the branch's main reasons for their devoted sponsorship is the event's ability to engage the community and bring residents together.
"Not only does [Fire & Ice] engage the Town & Country community, but it brings in people from all over St. Louis and gives them the opportunity to appreciate the city as well, and have a fun day and enjoy the activities," Devers said. "We are proud of the community, and it's our honor to be part of anything that contributes to, helps and helps recognize what an outstanding community Town & Country is."

BENGAL POLITICS IN DARJEELING & DOOARS: Rival slaps food charge on Morcha – a legacy of the GNLF revisited, proof first then charges ?!!
Siliguri, Nov. 11: The ABGL today accused the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha of distributing foodgrain meant for the public distribution system and mid-day meal scheme to Gorkhaland Personnel in connivance with a section of contractors and government employees.
"We have information that since the formation of the GLP (a lathi-wielding squad of the party) the Morcha leaders, in association with the contractors who supply essential commodities like rice, wheat, sugar, kerosene to the PDS, are sending the foodgrain to the GLP camps, depriving common people, including those from the below the poverty line," said Dawa Sherpa, the working president of the ABGL, at a media conference here.
"We also have data that show a huge disparity between the allotment made by the district food supply department and the quantity distributed to the people. Distribution of ration is irregular in the hills for this reason. We also suspect the involvement of some employees of the department in this racket and want the state government to investigate it," Sherpa said.
The Morcha, however, dared Sherpa to prove his charges.
"Let Dawa Sherpa prove the allegation first and then make statements to the media," said Harka Bahadur Chhetri, the party's media and publicity secretary. "He himself is corrupt and has no right to point finger at others."

I made a little drawing over the weekend and had a definite concept in mind. I searched through photos and came up with a photo from Colorado with the meandering stream flowing through the valley. I played with the color and came up with this sunset leaving most of the painting in shadow.
Make sure and check out my workshops. I have an online 4 week workshop starting Jan 23 for $150.

I've seen the adapter quite a few times at various parts counters. So, it should be easy to pick one up the next time you're in for service.
I got mine before MITM. Works great, and much...
The power connection for the flashlight socket should still be there. I'm betting the socket is a standard BMW part number. So, they should be able to pull it form any other car.

All knitters have questions about the best way to do things, why different things happen while they are knitting, how to fix knitting mistakes and more. Here is this weeks questions posed by a new knitter. Question from Angelena : What is an I – cord?
Answer: An I-cord is a narrow piece of knitting made on double-pointed needles that can be made as long as you like for a thousand different uses, either utilitarian or decorative. They can be made of any yarn as long as you have double-pointed needles that are similar in size to the gauge of the yarn (use smaller needles with finer yarn, bigger needles with heavier yarn).
I-cords are great because once you've made one, you'll start thinking of all sorts of uses for them. Here are just a few ways you might use them:
- Strap or handles for a purse or bag.
- Straps for a knitted shirt or dress.
- Use it as a belt.
- Make a headband.
- Sew the cord together to make a flower, a spiral, or some other shape you can use on another knitted project.
- Use as a tie for a hoodie or in place of elastic in a hem.
- Jewelry – bracelets and necklace etc.

Patient: I'm planning to join the army in the next few months, and I've started working out again. I'm in decent shape, but I need to get in to great shape. I have a problem that could be a deal breaker though. Every time I jog, whether outside or on a treadmill I develop calf pain. The pain is sudden, and moderate. It becomes more severe if I don't stop. It goes away after a few days. Right now it affects my right calf, but in the past when I jogged it affected the left calf also. The pain seems to affect different parts of the calf during different occurrences. Sometimes it strikes the lower calf. Sometimes the inner calf, and sometimes the outer portion. It usually takes about 10-15 minutes of jogging before it hits, and again it only happens when jogging. Calf raises, leg presses, elliptical, bike, and walking are all fine. Please…I need some help!
Doctor: According to your description, possibly you are experiencing a Calf Tendinitis, The calf muscle is made up of three mus scles. The two heads of the gastrocnemius and the soleus, these three muscles end in a common tendon: the Achilles tendon. Usually the complain is a dull aching pain and in severe cases a sharp intense pain. If you have a partial tear of the calf muscles then I do not recommend jogging for 4-6 weeks depending on the severity of the injury. If you are suffering just inflammation of the muscle then you can resume training after 7-10 days. Ineffective warm up and warm down routines can lead to calf strains. Excessive hill work, running, jogging with a sudden increase in mileage can cause a calf strain. Many runners carry on running even after the initial signs of a calf strain. They adjust their running stride to increase the forefoot foot slap and decrease heel strike. This further exacerbates the condition. Calf strains can be caused by dehydration. Many runners don't adequately hydrate. Deficiencies in calcium, trace minerals and magnesium can also lead calf strains. Therefore I would recommend to ensure adequate water intake and multi minerals. Initial treatment should consist of ice packs. Some runners prefer to use a wet towel that has been in the fridge, you can use also commercially availableice packs for focused pain relief. An anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen ("Motrin", "Aleve") will help you to reduce the swelling; this should be taken with meals and never before running. It is recommended complete rest for 5 days for a mild calf strain and then a gradual increase in mileage. Massaging the calf also helps to speed up recovery. View the calf Massager with four free rolling heads it's particularly good at giving yourself a deep calf massage.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was revealed yesterday with Sega pinning it as a "Summer 2010" release. That window has been narrowed down today thanks to the people over at Sonic Stadium. The game will be releasing this July. In addition to that information, is confirmation that an iPhone version of the game will be coming also.
Looks like Sega needs to be a little more careful with its website assets.

hello handsome!!!
Much, much, much prefer this look compared to the crazy pic above! I'm not sure what he did to the lighting but it makes him look like a character from a scary movie! This is my Andy, the one I met in highschool before facial hair. I told him it made me think I was kissing him in high school again! He lost 7-10 years by shaving the beard so now it looks like I robbed the cradle! He plans to immediately start growing the goatee back and I'm okay with that. As long as it stays trimmed and under control. :) I have to admit it sure was weird to see him without the beard. It's been at least 8 years since I've seen Andy like this. It took the boys and I a little while to get used to it and Andy even said he didn't recognize the stranger in the mirror at first. Thankful for razors and trimmers today! Ha! I love you. Andy!

A few years ago, my beloved oak bed broke. One of the rails split well beyond repair and even my most talented carpenter-minded friends sadly shook their heads and told me to let it go.
I was heartbroken. I loved that bed.
I purchased a brushed metal bed frame a few years ago while I searched for my next bed. For whatever reason, I thought I'd like an old brass bed and began the hunt. I found some OK ones that were waaay overpriced. I resigned myself to letting go and just seeing what the universe tossed my way.
Two weekends ago, I walked into the Verge's rummage sale and my heart skipped a beat. There it was— an old brass bed with a stunning patina. Simple design. Truly beautiful. It called to me. I purchased it for $35.00. Yup, you read that right— $35.00! The lovely SS helped me load it into my Jeep which seemed to magically expand to fit the tall headboard.
Well, sorta. I got home and thought I'd go mattress shopping— mine was 9 years old and no longer comfortable. So off we went, looking for a new mattress set. Easy enough. Done. I measured and re-measured the bed. A queen mattress would fit lengthwise. Perfect.
Well, sorta. The mattress and box spring set was delivered last Sunday. I spent the morning constructing a slat system to support the mattress and box spring. Easy enough. HOWEVER, when I went to lay the box spring down, no matter how much I pushed, pleaded, and swore, it was 2″ too long.
Not so perfect.
So, I began looking for rail extenders. With all the old beds out there, SOMEONE must have figured out a way to extend metal rails. After a few internet searches, I realized, I needed to be creative as no one seemed to have any suggestions. Considering the metal rails, it occured to me—perhaps the rails could be cut and matching steel welded in place. A call to my uncle confirmed my thought. I called a few metal fabricators in town and the only one who didn't think my request was too crazy was Cole Fabrication in Orangevale.
The owner, Jacob, was awesome. I dropped the rails off Saturday afternoon and picked them up today (Monday). See for yourself—he did a great job. I didn't need the welds polished/sanded down as they would not be visible. Regardless, he sanded them down a bit after welding in a four inch extension. For safe measure he added a second weld on the inside of the L-bend to ensure strength.
The cost was $100.00 and he guarantees the welds will hold for life. If not, he will re-weld them for free. So, if you're in the Sacramento area and want to convert your antique metal bed by extending its length, give him a call. He's great!
Maybe this would have seemed like an easy solution to others, I'm surprised it wasn't yet suggested on the multiple antique bed refinishing sites I'd read.
I put the bed together tonight and WOAH, it's, umm, a little high. Dammit. There may be dog steps in my future OR I may return the current set and look for a lower-profile set. I haven't been that thrilled with my mattress selection (it seems a bit soft for my liking). Ugh.
BUT it looks great and the new set fits perfectly. For that—I am VERY pleased. Siddhartha and Sky both can reach the bed, but they aren't very pleased. Siddhartha looked at the bed and then to me and I could hear him thinking, "Seriously, Ma? Seriously?!"
As I'm 5'2″ (on a tall day), I will have to do a little hop to get into bed as well… for now. Ultimately, I'll figure it out and stop being Goldilocks. Well, I can hope anyway, right? Grin.
The total cost for my new old brass bed frame? $160 for the frame, the extension, and wood to build the slat system.

Wow, what a beautiful weekend. It's strange how as I am aging, I seem to be enjoying summer so much more. I always hated summer (wearing bikini's and shorts, and being "out there" was just never my thing; wearing coats and big woolly jerseys in winter suited me just fine), but now I am really enjoying summer. I love the warmth, the fresh air, braai'ing outside, even swimming on occasion. Perhaps its the age in me – or perhaps I'm just getting a fresh perspective of how lovely and relaxing summer can actually be.
Today, I am grateful for:
- Such a stunning weekend. On Friday night we had friends around and on Saturday night, we had a little function in celebration of my hubby's birthday. It was lovely and relaxing and well, both were actually quite fun.
- A really good Park Run on Saturday morning. I did feel a bit tired after Friday night's get together, but it was lovely to get up early and enjoy the beach and the sun and have a good run. And Park Run has grown – there are now just on a thousand people running each week. It is awesome to see so many people trying to get out there and get fit.
- The delicious supper hubby made last night. Boy, that man really knows how to cook!
- Coming across a beautiful Christian book by scientist Dr Caroline Leaf and how she explains the damage that negative thinking does to your mind and body. It explains so much to me, and why doing gratitude journals and taking control of your thoughts is so important. I have come along way – to which I am eternally grateful to the Lord above – but I have a long way to go.
- My husband. This man is amazing and I am in awe that he has decided to spend the rest of his life with me.

Hearts Knit Together #28: French Bread and Creamy Potato Soup Recipes
Hearts Knit Together was born out of my struggle to balance my desire to create with my busy life as a mother of four. I am challenging myself to do something creative WITH my children each week and to share that adventure with you on Mondays. I invite you to share your creativity with your children so that we might inspire each other with ideas to help "knit our hearts together."
If you want to join me, write a blog post about something creative you did with kids and share your link in the comments. No rules really, only that your link is current and something about creating with children. They don't even have to be your own kids. Please remember to link back to The Gauge Wars so that others who may want to join can find it. Pretty simple. Your post can be from any day of the week. It doesn't have to be Monday. Thank you for participating!
Cooking is creating. With the cold weather comes soup time. And soup time requires bread at my house or my littles rebel. My little Maeve hates soup with a passion. She even yelled at me once, "I hate you more than soup" which was the worst insult she could think of. Finally this winter we have found a soup that "she doesn't hate as much." She was happy to help make the creamy potato soup. It got a little chaotic having three little hungry helpers in the kitchen while trying to cook dinner but they were so enjoying our time cooking together that I couldn't kick them out.
The soup is super easy and tasty. My mom gave me the recipe that originally came from a woman at her church I believe, Heather Smykalski. The french bread recipe came from a woman Joel worked with when we were first married. Sadly her name is not on the recipe anywhere so I can't give her credit. It is really easy if you are looking for a nice soft bread I recommend this recipe. It only takes 1.5-2 hours to make. I should have done my loaves more long and skinny so they looked better. But they still tasted great. If you are wanting a nice crusty bread I recommend
this recipe.
SO QUICK AND EASY. Seriously the bread is amazing and so so easy. It doesn't require kneading, which makes my boys sad since that was their favorite part.
Creamy Potato Soup
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups chopped onion
4 cups chopped potatoes
2 tsp. dry dillweed
8 TBSP butter
8 TBSP flour
4 cups milk
2 cups grated cheese
garlic clove
In a stock pot, combine broth, onion, dillweed, garlic, and potatoes.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Cover and summer until potatoes are tender. When potatoes are tender put the mixture in a blender to make creamy.
In a saucepan melt butter. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Add milk, cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Add grated cheese.
Add milk mixture to potatoes. Stir until heated through.
French Bread
6 cups flour
2 1/2 cups hot water
3 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP salt
1/4 cup oil
2 TBSP yeast
Mix 3 cups of flour with all the other ingredients in mixer for 3 minutes. Add remaining 3 cups of flour and mix with spoon then hands. Dough should be barely sticky.
Cover with dish cloth and let rise for 20 minutes. Knead
Rise 6 minutes. Knead. Repeat this step two to four more times.
Turn dough onto floured surface, divide into two loaves. Place on a greased cookie sheet or one sprinkled with corn meal. Slice the tops diagonally three times. Let rise until double (about 15 minutes).
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Happy Monday!

This will be pretty short again, but I just wanted to tell you all how much i love this mission. It is so hard. SO HARD! But it was meant to be hard, because that is the only way we can grow!!
THis week was difficult. We walked a million miles.. like really. And i am pretty sure i died of heat like a hundred times.... but i am alive so it`s all good! :) but i experienced a miracle this week. Yesterday, i had a feeling that we needed to fast. So my comp. and i did. We haven`t been having as much succes with our progressing investigators, especially with the church attendence. And if they don`t attend chruch, they can`t get baptized. So yesterday morning, we woke up extra early and walked to each one of their houses to bring them to chruch.. and guess what? no one was home... no one. We seriouly walked three miles and nobody could come. So we entered in the sacrement meeting, and i just prayed with my whole heart that by some miracle they could come. ANd guess what, i had no sooner finished my prayer, than one of our investigators walked in!! MIRACLE!!! i just testify that fasting works. That when we sacrifice just a little bit of what we have, the lord blesses us with ten times more!!!
I love you all so much and i love being a missionary in this crazy country!!

So, from all sides.
Forced to endure the manipulation of your pussy, I did not know where to hide from embarrassment.
- Now lift up and move from pisyunchik here this little bag – Mama smiled sweetly, taking unbearably tickled me a soapy cloth to wipe the scrotum.
Despite the tenderness of mother's hands and her gentle voice, I'm still terribly embarrassed her.

Today I flew to Italy. I took videos of the clouds and the sky while I was the plane. I plan to film a lot of nature so I can create my own KOYAANISQATSI.
For those of you who don't know what that is, it can all be explained here:
It's all about life out of balance, something I feel often. I work hard to try to level out the scale but mostly it seems impossible to me. I hope to find some way of doing this here on this trip.
So far, everything is enchanting. I love the apartment I live in although there are many things I did not expect..
I can't wait for something to happen.

Over the past year, I've repeatedly said that we need a strong two-party system and that the GOP's current incarnation isn't helpful to the democratic system of give-and-take. I've wondered why the party seems to lack adult participation. I recommend several recent pieces for your consideration.
First, a Tom Friedman op-ed piece that's nearly a month old. Friedman has been on the "green" bandwagon for some time, and I'm finally getting into his most recent book Hot Flat and Crowded in which he follows up on the thesis that our global economy, assisted by communications technology, is flattening the world and offering opportunities to provide services and reach customers regardless of where the parties to the transaction are located. In order to survive this sea-change, we need to recognize both its threats to the status quo and the opportunities it presents. His latest work makes the case that China is doing a better job than the US is in preparing for a world that will necessarily rely more heavily on alternative forms of energy. In this op-ed piece, he points to the autocratic nature of the Chinese political system to force the necessary changes and in a similar vein bemoans the stagnation of the US political environment, even though it is effectively, at the moment, also a single-party system.
Then, today Neil Gabler penned an op-ed piece in the L.A. Times that may shed additional light on the same debate. Gabler compares our current political climate to fundamentalist religion, in which negotiation and compromise have given way to a doctrinaire certainty that there is only one correct solution and that any disagreement is tantamount to heresy. While I'm not totally objective, I do think that the Dems have shown more willingness to compromise and to negotiate than have the Repubs — the health care debate being the most current example. Many Democrats actually prefer a single-payer system — Medicare for everyone — as the optimal solution. But that was taken off the table even before the debate and the compromising began. Indeed, the compromises have been driven by the need to have a solution that can obtain the 60 votes necessary to end a certain GOP filibuster. Meanwhile, despite what Sen. McConnell claims, there have been few efforts on the part of the GOP to do more than obstruct.
Much has been made of the influence on and even control of the GOP by the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and others, including the right-wing bloggers. Since last November, several conservative voices have tried to criticize Limbaugh, only to be taken to task by the base to the point where they've had to beg for his forgiveness. David Brooks, who I've long considered one of the more sane voices coming from the right is the latest to try to marginalize the likes of Limbaugh and Beck and their corrosive effect on the way we do politics these days. And Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently opined that the "birthers" are crazy, and that Beck is not so much a Republican as he is a cynic.
Could it be that there is a growing recognition among the pragmatists in the GOP that the party is becoming even less appealing to the independent center, around whom elections turn? Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) is one of those pragmatic Republicans who dares to ignore the pressure from the GOP leadership and use reason and the genuine needs and wishes of her constituents in determining how to cast her vote. She recognizes that while Maine has two GOP senators, the state does have voters of both parties and that ideological purity isn't always in the best interest of her constituents, let alone of the nation at large. Ideological purity is corrosive, regardless of which party's ideology is at issue. And John McCain, rather than retreating into political oblivion after his defeat last November is, according to sources at Politico, seeking to find pragmatic and moderate Republicans to re-invigorate the party. Unfortunately, if Gabler's view is correct, his efforts will be in vain.
[UPDATE: Paul Krugman's op-ed piece in Monday's New York Times sums it up a bit differently, but in a manner entirely appropriate given the reaction on the right to Chicago's failed Olympics bid. Given Krugman's assessment and Glaber's, it is clear that what needs to be done by people on all sides of the political spectrum who seek a more honest and rational discussion of issues. The radical right needs to be isolated from the discussion. They will not change. That segment has been present in American politics for many decades. But like a recalcitrant child, they need to be marginalized, not given additional power by virtue of attention. Sure, we must be aware of them, especially when the level of violent rhetoric rises. But awareness does not necessarily equate to attention. The media loves conflict, thus the attention they receive from the likes of Rupert Murdock. He sees them as a cash cow. As soon as the ratings decline, they will be out on their collective ear, not because their masters have changed their stripes, but because, as David Brooks put it, they are no longer raking in the cash. Beck's decline in sponsors served only to raise his ratings, and allow Fox to charge more to his other sponsors, making the whole episode a financial wash.]
Yes, I am liberal in my political views, and proudly so. After all, liberalism has brought many of the advances and achievements that have made America great — the abolition of slavery, the Civil Rights movement, women's suffrage, public education. Government, for all of its ills and faults, can be made to work for the benefit of the people. Capitalism can be a powerful creative force, but even Adam Smith understood that it cannot be allowed to succumb to greed. But more than simply a liberal, I am an American. I want the country to succeed. And that means that even when I disagree totally with a President's policies, I want him to do right by the country. I want him to succeed in making our country better. I not only accept the theory of an opposition but support its creation and benefit. But in order to be a loyal opposition, it must be willing to propose as well as to oppose. I fear that the United States body politic has become so focused on the "me" that it is losing sight of the "we" that made us what we are.

Now, Cecilia has been saying "mama" and "dada" for months but we don't know when she began to know who "mama" and "dada were." So we were waiting to hear some other word.
Today Cecilia was having some mac and cheese and peas at lunch. When James saw her mashing more peas than eating them, he asked her, as we always do, "Are you done?" She proceeded to begin eating more peas. So he went to check his email and let her nibble some more. While I was sitting here at my computer suddenly I began to hear, over and over again, "Done, Done, Done." I turned around and sure enough she had stopped eating. I went over to her and asked, "Are you done?" and she said, "done," with arms outstretched for me to get her out! I told James to come hear her first word and we both repeated with her and applauded her and made her say it again and again.
So, discounting the standard "mama" and "dada" (of which she said "dada" first), Cecilia's first word is "Done!" at almost 14 1/2 months.

1. And so on to my father. The last i saw him, in 2010, the house was full of junk – entire rooms packed with cardboard boxes, the hallway and stairs lined with newspapers (hundreds) he wouldn't throw away because, in his words, Egh well I have PAID GOOD MONEY for the thing, egh? I must read them, egh! At one point he had a huge cardboard box full of empty and meticulously-scrubbed glass (jam, honey, etc.) jars, which he planned to ship to India, when he thought to return to his vile ancestral lands. He had eleven radios in his room, three the same model. He had six second-hand cars, all shit.
The house is now largely uncluttered. i was able to sit on a sofa and he treated me to one of his Dreadful Monologues. i took the precaution of breaking out a pipe and smoking at him, a useful screen i found. As is his wont, he was belligerent and full of querulous rage and grandiose self-pity. He burnt out when he was 67, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, was like a zombie for years afterwards, i was sure he would die at any moment, then after i left in 2004 (actually, he kicked me out of the house for eating one of his ready-made meals) he apparently found a "cure" (B12 injections, i think) and spent thousands on herbal remedies and whatnot. i am generally sceptical of such things but he is physically only slightly worse than in 2004, and mentally sharper than i remember. i would say, after Apocalypse Now, that his mind is clear but his soul is mad. He has no friends, never had any, and i am the only family he has any contact with (and i have only seen him twice in the last decade).
It transpires that he met some nurses from his home state in India, who cleared his house and removed all the junk, presumably keeping anything valuable and binning the rest. They were nice to him and brought their small children to entertain him, he made a will giving them 2/3 of whatever paltry sum he will leave (he has virtually no money saved, but there is still the house), then they wanted power of attorney and he apparently realised all was not well and flipped over from his nice side to his horrible side, kicking them out and cursing them, Lear-style (he also kicked my sister out of the house on Christmas Day, about 25 years ago).
All this took a good hour or two of enraged monologue, while i sat and smoked and thought, God, how horrible. Every minute or two he bellowed, Egh? Are you with me? DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Egh? and i had to shout, Yes!
He wanted me to become executor of his will, and to receive his worldly goods, but i refused the former and said i'd be as happy to get nothing. Any disagreement with my father is ill-advised, as he is more or less incapable of accepting that another human being might have an independent existence or will, so i said i can't be executor because i'm too busy, and that he can leave me the house if he wants but i really don't care, because i find money largely insignificant. Actually, i would prefer to get nothing because anything i bought, even if i just used it to pay off my debts, would in a sense be a homage to him, come courtesy of his life. i managed to persuade him to give some to my sister's children, suggested he leave them everything but he wasn't having it – however, he's so emotionally volatile that i have some hope he will decide on this. It's also possible he will just will everything to the postman or a random taxi driver or a dog or stone.
2. i slept in my old bedroom, having bad dreams and a bad feeling about the whole thing. Although i respect my father as a physician, it's somewhat like respecting a mathematician as mathematician – it has little bearing on the broader character, and for all his medical experise one could say he hath ever but slenderly known himself. i found several brand new expensive cashmere jumpers in my old wardrobe, too big for either him or me, and a (again, brand new) cashmere coat i guess would have cost several hundred pounds, again too large for him or me. It seems that the Indians cleared out dozens of identical cashmere garments that would fit them, leaving only these. It's rather depressing to think that my father wasted his considerable salary on things like this, leaving him now nothing except his pension. Even before the Indians removed his things, he wore the same clothes every day, and had no use for the things he bought – buying them was the point, not to derive any pleasure from their craftsmanship or quality. His approach to the world has always been one of attempted dominance, with no interest in, or understanding of, either people or things – so he buys things because in doing so they become his, not because he has any use for them. i can't really understand how it was possible for him to be a good doctor, except that, perhaps, it was another expression of domination. His drama of the Will has a Lear-like theatricality, which i mislike.
3. In many ways, i realise how little people can integrate to another culture. My father was born in 1931 (six months after Thomas Bernhard) in south India, and has never moved beyond what seems a Stone Age culture to me. He can't use the Present Perfect or PP Progressive; he regards women as slaves and whores; he is distrustful to the point of paranoia, but also highly gullible, with virtually no understanding of people, except as medical cases. He is convinced that people are bad and just want his largely non-existent money (one of his mantras is "eghh well NO ONE DOES NOTHING FOR FREE!!!"), yet easily adopts a grotesque, clownish bonhomie, grinning hideously, if people seem friendly. It doesn't surprise me that he never had a single friend and that i'm the only family he has any contact with.
He has a constant emotional intensity, much like that of my old Kassel boss, Morgana (though she had intellect and softness), which makes it impossible to be in the same room unless you agree with him. Emotional force is the fuel for magic so i often felt a kind of impingement upon my sanity in his presence, as if a raw and untutored magic was splashing about from his cauldron of rage. In the past i simply endured it, and avoided him as much as possible. This time i found myself smoking a screen of tobacco (Dunhill 965) and occasionally popping to my room for a new pipe and some impromptu runework and beseeching of the gods.
4. Over time – i spent 8 days in his house – i found myself deflecting his will, though it was always difficult and left me feeling troubled and anxious that, perhaps, my life in Germany was just an illusion. It's not that my father is evil or even particularly bad, more that he has an unfortunate combination of autism and emotional force, and anger was always his way of coping with what he perceived as opposition. i'd be as happy to never meet him again, in this or any other life, but also recognise that i've had similar fathers in other lives (and similarly passive mothers), and so presumably choose to be born into such circumstances, because it matches my fundamental view of existence. It's also true that rather than crushing me, such fathers have merely driven me to make my own life elsewhere, and to resist domination, so i perceive him with some distance, akin to an end of level boss who has been defeated.
As Nietzsche said, if you do not have a good father you should acquire one. i've picked up various role models, some younger than me, and my true father now is the gallows god. Curiously, this made it easier to talk to my merely biological father, and proved indeed necessary.
5. This trip was a reliving of situations i thought i had long departed. i had wanted to meet Bonehead, my fascist friend from school; and a friend from Durham; but Bonehead was in Boston to visit his brother, and the Durhamite at a conference in the South, so i had nothing to buffer me from the Horror – i saw my mother, and Shrekh, an old schoolfriend – but both are remnants of my old life.
My father kept trying to drag me back into the life i had 20 years ago, even attempting to persuade me to abandon my life in Germany to live with him and nurse him for the rest of his life. i would rather commit suicide, but i have become Dr Tact and so simply said i couldn't, because i had invested too much time and money in my German life. It wasn't simply that i dislike the ugliness & violence of my father's mind, as that being in that house was like being dragged back into the considerable hell of my youth. He occasionally treated me like i was a small child again, with the mix of contempt and rage i remember well from my hideous youth. i noted that he didn't treat outsiders so; i think it is, in its way, as bad for him as for me, for us to be in the same place – it brings out the worst in him, i.e. the way he was for most of his life – though these attacks were intermittent and fairly easily deflected.
With tobacco, whisky, and god, i could meet and repel these attacks, here's one that i remember, he gave Shrekh some unsolicited medical advice and medication:
Father: Egh well eggghhh you JUST TAKE these pills, eghh!!!
Shrekh: Okay, I'll give them a go.
Father: Egggghhh well LISTEN, you TAKE and you are ONE MILLION PERCENT better!!! Egh? Are you with me? Egh?
Me: How long would it take to have an effect?
Father [suddenly bristling with suspicion and fury]: Egh well DON'T YOU LISTEN, egh? I SAID, egh? Well YOU PEOPLE JUST DO NOT LISTEN, EGH??? EGHH? I said HOW LONG, egh? Egh?
Me: I wasn't really listening to be honest.
My absence of either fear or aggression seemed to calm him, so all his attempts to draw me back into the twenty-year-gone nexus of contempt and misery quickly fizzled out. It was nonetheless mildly gruelling.
Family are a special case, as one doesn't so easily have the option to just avoid them. i tend to think one should try to find some form of communication, something worthwhile in the inevitable relationship. With my sister, i found nothing at all and so haven't had any contact with her since 2008 or 9. With my father, we can have conversations but i found they only worked in the evening, when i was full of pie and had a glass or two of Glenturret, and a pipe of Dunhill 965. It would be an exaggeration to say i treasure these conversations but i enjoyed them – for example he assured me that "eghh well the English people are SO UGLY because the English women HAD SEX with egh the AFRICAN SLAVES so English are all part-African, egh, they are NOT EUROPEAN!!!" – i found this highly amusing and it was almost worth losing a week's work just to hear it.
His monologues about various supplements and pills were also diverting, as he has a very Indian tendency to hyperbole; so he instructed me to only drink matcha green tea, assuring me that, "Egh well YOU JUST TAKE and you will feel TEN MILLION TIMES better than with the normal green tea, egh?" i found i like making matcha, and bought a bamboo whisk when i got back to Munich (he had an electronic whisk), but i haven't noticed any significant difference to normal green tea – the taste is different, that's all. All in all, these pep talks reminded me most humorously of Jesse Ventura's chopper scene in Predator (from 2.00 to 2.20)
If (God forbid) i'm reborn after this life, it would be interesting to briefly meet my father again in another guise. In the meantime, i noted the Indians had overlooked virtually the only thing i remembered with interest – a pipe stand from my father's pipe-smoking days. Since he hasn't smoked pipes in over 30 years, i asked if i could have it, and took it back to Germany with me, along with an ashtray my mother gifted me:

The Republican primary is the gift that keeps on giving for the Barack Obama Presidential re-election team. Somewhere in Chicago, there is a bulletin board full of Republican gaffes in debates and media appearances. The real problem facing the Obama re-election team at this point? Is the bulletin board big enough?
Mitt Romney delivered a gem today, while talking to the folks at CNN. And it has conservatives in full blown damage control mode today.
"I'm not concerned about the very poor, we have a safety net there" – Mitt Romney to a CNN Reporter
So, lets recap here. Mitt Romney pays a lower tax rate than you and I. He ties his dog to the top of his car for 12 hour family road trips. He touts his record as a job creator from his time at a business that shuttered businesses and made millions doing so.
And now, coming out of one of the harshest recession this country has ever seen, he admits he isn't concerned for the poor? And since 99% of this country makes less money than Mitt Romney, wouldn't that be just about all of us?
How anyone can see Mitt Romney as a "fresh alternative" is beyond me.

U2's 'Pop': A Reimagining of the Album 20 Years Later
U2 kept fiddling with their ninth LP long after it hit shelves in early 1997, so here's a new take from live recordings, remixes and re-recordings
"Please" (Live at the MTV VMAs)
With a little more time "Please" could have been the best song on Pop. The anthemic tune was written after Bono got into a conversation with someone that sympathized with the IRA's bombing campaign in Ireland. It's a plea for sanity in the middle of war. "It is a great song," said Larry Mullen Jr. "I don't feel like it was finished." Knowing they'd botched something special, U2 remixed it for the single release, but it wasn't enough to get any radio play or MTV love. The song got a new life on the Elevation Tour after 9/11. We'd include a version from that tour here had the band not played "Please" on the 1997 VMAs. U2 were deep in the PopMart shit by this point and Bono buried himself in a hoodie, but he'd never sung the song better. He simply couldn't compete with Puff Daddy bringing out Sting, the Wallflowers duetting with Bruce Springsteen on "One Headlight" or Marilyn Manson ending the night with "The Beautiful People," though. This wasn't the band's moment in the pop-cultural sun.

Bloodborne pathogens refer to the disease carrying organisms that are present in a patients' blood. They can pass on to another person under certain circumstances that often arise when working with infected blood. However, bloodborne pathogen training can teach you to understand and manage the associated risks which are always present due to the nature of certain occupations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has laid down certain standards so that bloodborne pathogen training covers all the vital areas and provides complete knowledge about the risks.
Following are the 5 important points that any Bloodborne Pathogen training should cover:
• Recognizing Threats: The first thing that you must know is the different diseases that can be caused by such bloodborne pathogens. Besides the three major diseases including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Hepatitis B and C, there are a number of other ailments like viral hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis arboviral infections, syphilis, brucellosis, Babesiosis and malaria that are less common but can also be caused by such pathogens. There are many more diseases, too, which you can learn about depending on your area of work.
• Fluid Exposure: Bloodborne pathogens spread through blood of course, but there are several other body fluids that carry the organisms too. Some such fluids include cerebrospinal, amniotic, semen, vaginal discharges and most of the fluids from your lungs and body cavities. On the other hand such pathogens generally do not pass through tears, urine, sweat and secretions of the nose, however even these fluids can become dangerous if they get mixed with the infected blood. Furthermore, the risk of the pathogens passing through saliva will depend on the kind of disease and if there is any bleeding injury in the mouth.
• Spread of Pathogens: Bloodborne pathogens can cause infection when they enter the body of another person; there are a number of ways this can happen. The most common way of transmission is through accidental injury caused due to sharp objects like needles or any broken and contaminated instruments. Furthermore such organisms can easily enter your system when the infected fluid comes in contact with the mucus membrane or any broken or open skin. Such diseases can also pass on from a pregnant mother to her child.
• Avoiding Exposure: Your training should adequately cover the preventive measures to be taken for avoiding the spread of the pathogens. Universal precautions cover various aspects of protection like using personal gear like gloves and masks, maintaining hygiene, sterilization, and proper disposal of all contaminated materials.
• Handling Exposure: Even after taking all the precautions at times there might be an accidental exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Your training must also prepare you for such situations so that the matter is reported and treated promptly and any other protocol like follow-ups, maintaining reports and informing the relevant authorities are adhered to at all times.
The above points will ensure that you not only have the theoretical knowledge of bloodborne pathogens but also know how to deal with it in a host of different circumstances, and must therefore be a part of any such training.

Batman 129 (Feb. 60) contains of of Batwoman's best stories, 'The Web of the Spinner," by Finger, Moldoff and Paris.
Batman and Robin are on the trail of a costumed thief, the Spinner, while Kathy Kane checks out a psychic who she believes is a fraud. Neither are having much success at their goals.
Batman finds evidence narrowing down the identity of the Spinner to a former inmate of Joliet prison, while the psychic alerts Batwoman to the Spinner's hideout.
A big windmill explosion climaxes the story, but there is a great twist. The man they find in the Spinner costume at the windmill is a former Joliet inmate, but he is not the real Spinner. It had been a giant set-up, leaving false clue for Batman to find. The psychic is really the Spinner, as Batman explains.
Easily the best, and mot serious, Batwoman story. She functions independently, yet helps in the overall case. The story does not get bogged down in romance or the usual identity games.

Obamacare's enrollment site faces biggest test
On Tuesday, 45 million uninsured Americans will have the opportunity to enroll in health insurance programs through a new website, healthcare.gov.
The question is, can the site handle it?
The "obvious" concerns with the online system are technology glitches, said Jonathan Cohn, senior editor of the New Republic, during an appearance on Morning Joe on Tuesday.
Cohn, the author of "Sick: The Untold Story of America's Health Care Crisis—and the People Who Pay the Price," noted that buying insurance right now is already complicated and messy. "If it takes a few weeks for the glitches to work out, that's OK," he said.
"[Obamacare is] going to make sure that almost all Americans can get a decent health insurance policy regardless of income or pre-existing medical conditions, and it is going to start to change the way we pay for medical care so we get better care without paying so much money for it," he said.
Americans can sign up for Obamacare through March 2014.
The Obama administration's health insurance plan was at the heart of the debate that led to a government shutdown just after midnight on Tuesday.
Watch more on Morning Joe.

Full movie description "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island":The 17-year-old Sean Anderson receives a coded signal and his stepfather Hank helps him to decipher the message. They find that Sean's grandfather Alexander Anderson has found the mysterious island in the Pacific described by Jules Verne and two other writers in their novels. The stubborn Sean wants to travel to the coordinates and Hank decides to buy the tickets and travel with the teenager to a small island nearby the location.

They find a beautiful and dangerous place, surrounded by forests, volcanoes with lava of gold and menacing life forms. They also meet the old Alexander and Hank discovers that the island is sinking. Now their only chance to survive is to find the legendary Nautilus.
Reviews of the Journey 2: The Mysterious IslandSomewhere in Hollywood there are people who think children are morons and when they set up to make a kid movie, they do it starting with this premise. Morons they may be, but not in the sense their brains don't work well, but because they don't have enough experience. As such, this kind of films appear to me made for retarded (in the real sense of the word) people.
As a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth from 2008, it is not that bad. The only character remaining, though, is Josh Hutcherson's, so I was at first confused if this is the sequel to that film or to Race to Witch Mountain, which stared Dwayne Johnson and some kids. Also, all the characters are male but for a teen that has no real role in the film. So I was really missing Anita Briem.
The effects were not bad, rather average. The plot itself, taken from afar and with the grain of salt that one has to take with a movie made for children, had potential. I also liked how the characters completed one another, instead of the lone hero knowing and doing everything. However the script to this plot was so incredibly bad that I could not like it, no matter how much I tried.
Bottom line: a franchise dedicated to the sense of wonder and discovery in Jules Verne's books should make more of an effort for actual education. Dropping occasional (and conflicting) science facts that don't even apply to the situation is not enough. Also, having silly to the point of idiotic characters doesn't really inspire kids, either. I grew up with the books of Jules Verne. This entire series has nothing to do with them.

what is wrong with that? that's how i get dressed everyday- and i usually don't even bother with the bra...
if i wear a matching pajama set to bed (like full-on pants and long sleeved button down shirt), my husband calls this my business suit. and he'll say something like, "oh, i see you've put on your business attire. that must mean i should just roll over and hide in my shame tent." to be clear, a shame tent is what he calls pulling the covers over his head and fake crying when he's pretending to be sad i'm wearing my business suit, even though he's too tired to be much disappointed i'm not in a birthday suit instead anyway. it usually makes both of us laugh even more when someone deliberately farts in the shame tent.
Ha! You know, I wrote this while wearing a blown-out six-year-old pair of lounging pants from the Gap, an ancient black tissue tee (Mossimo, from Target) that has spit-up on the left shoulder, and a nursing bra that has seen better days (and none of those days were ever very sexy). So I ain't judgin.

Stress, or 'bad' stress, can be described as 'a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.' According to a survey done in 2013 of 30,000 students in 34 colleges and universities across Canada, 38.6% reported that their academic performance was affected due to stress.
As started above, there's a different between 'good' and 'bad' stress. Good stress can be managed, and will actually assist you with your everyday activities. On the other hand, bad stress makes you feel like you are loosing control. Instead of motivating you to do what needs to be done, bad stress can cause you to have medical problems. Bad stress makes it hard for you to concentrate, and could make you feel physically sick.
Obviously, there are times when bad stress isn't easily avoidable. If your friend, or yourself, are struggling with stress, take a look at the list below for some ways to help relax when the stress becomes too much:
- Make the effort to have healthy meals, and try not to pig out of junk food. That doesn't mean to avoid junk food such as candy, pop corn, chips, and the like. Eat it in small doses, and concentrate more on healthy goods.
- Take a mindfulness/meditation break. This can include meditating, yoga, stretching, anything designed specifically to help you relax. Take as much, or as little, time that you need to clear your mind and just concentrate on your breathing.
- Try to get a good rest. But, if you cannot fall asleep don't try to force yourself to. If you just find yourself tossing and turning, try reading a book, watch some television, or do an activity that doesn't require much concentration. This will help reduce anxiety, and you may even get a nap in.
- Don't forget to breath. Just take a couple minutes out of your day to concentrate on breathing, sitting back in your chair and concentrating on your breath.
- Exercise. Go for a walk outside when you are feeling really stressed, or go to the gym for some stress relief.
For further information on stress and ways to relief it, please visit the Heart and Stroke website or News Center.
