Art has always been part of my life in one way or another - creating, exploring, observing, expressing, searching for meaning as I move through the world, through the life that has been given to me. I have tried many different media, studied with masters, traveled far and wide always amazed at what is out there. Through art I find what fits me, who I am, what I believe to be true and most real. It has been for me a mode of escape into parallel universes and a way of reaching into the depths of meaning and expression, into the soul. I invite you to view my paintings in the hope that you will find within them a reminder of a quieter gentler world that reawakens within you a sense of calm. I paint a variety of subjects in an...

America is going to hell if we don't use her vast resources to end poverty
and make it possible for all of God's children to have the basic necessities of life.
— Martin Luther King Jr.
They have become great and rich;
they have grown fat and sleek. . . .
they judge not with justice
the cause of the fatherless . . .
and they do not defend the rights of the needy.
— Jeremiah 5:27–28
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood for the good or evil side;
Some great Cause, God's New Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
— James Russell Lowell
It is a national moral disgrace that there are 14.7 million poor children and 6.5 million extremely poor children in the United States of America – the world's largest economy. It is also unnecessary, costly and the greatest threat to our future national, economic and military security.
Combined: Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming and is greater than the combined populations of the countries of Sweden and Costa Rica. Our nearly 6.5 million extremely poor children (living below half the poverty line) exceeds the combined populations of Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming and is greater than the populations of Denmark or Finland.
The younger children are the poorer they are during their years of greatest brain development. Every other American baby is non-White and 1 in 2 Black babies is poor, 150 years after slavery was legally abolished.
America's poor children did not ask to be born; did not choose their parents, country, state, neighborhood, race, color, or faith. In fact if they had been born in 33 other industrialized countries they would be less likely to be poor. Among these 35 countries, America ranks 34th in relative child poverty — ahead only of Romania whose economy is 99 percent smaller than ours.
The United Kingdom, which, if it were an American state, would rank just above Mississippi in per capita GDP according to the Washington Post, committed to and succeeded in cutting its child poverty rate by half in 10 years. It is about values and political will. Sadly, politics too often trumps good policy and moral decency and responsibility to the next generation and the nation's future. It is way past time for a critical mass of Americans to confront the hypocrisy of America's pretension to be a fair playing field while almost 15 million children languish in poverty. This report calls for an end to child poverty in the richest nation on earth with a 60 percent reduction immediately. It shows solutions to ending child poverty in our nation already exist. For the first time this report shows how, by expanding investments in existing policies and programs that work, we can shrink overall child poverty 60 percent, Black child poverty 72 percent, and improve economic circumstances for 97 percent of poor children at a cost of $77.2 billion a year. These policies could be pursued immediately, improving the lives and futures of millions of children and eventually saving taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
Child poverty is too expensive to continue. Every year the lost productivity and extra health and crime costs for adults who grew up poor add up to $500 billion – six times more than the $77 billion investment we propose to reduce child poverty by 60 percent. MIT Nobel Laureate economist and 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Dr. Robert Solow in his foreword to a 1994 CDF report Wasting America's Future presciently wrote: "For many years Americans have allowed child poverty levels to remain astonishingly high…far higher than one would think a rich and ethical society would tolerate. The justification, when one is offered at all, has often been that action is expensive: 'We have more will than wallet.' I suspect that in fact our wallets exceed our will, but in any event this concern for the drain on our resources completely misses the other side of the equation: Inaction has its costs too…As an economist I believe that good things are worth paying for; and that even if curing children's poverty were expensive, it would be hard to think of a better use in the world for money. If society cares about children, it should be willing to spend money on them."

Well-loved cookbook yields warm nostalgia and fabulous ginger cookies
Some of my favorite cookbooks become my favorites because they consistently feed me and my husband reliably, quickly and deliciously.
Others I love because they transport me, through amazing photography and unfamiliar flavor combinations, to exotic places I may never visit, but they make it possible for me to taste.
Then there are the cookbooks that are mementos, relics from my personal archive, ones used by my mom or by friends' moms, stained with drips and smudges, pages dog-eared and crumbling. These books have served their owners — and me — very well. And now that time has gone by, cooking from them brings not only a comforting meal, but a warm nostalgia, and a sometimes poignant or perhaps bittersweet connection to a forgotten moment, a childhood family meal or an old friend.
"The Well Tempered Kitchen" is the first cookbook published by the Chorus of Westerly, then the Westerly Community Chorus, in 1978. It was printed by Sun Graphics, the commercial print operation of The Utter Company, the longtime owners and operators of The Westerly Sun, on the second floor of its recently demolished headquarters at 56 Main St. in Westerly.
It's an eclectic collection of more than 250 recipes, some of them holding up better than others over the years, many of them requiring downsizing unless you're feeding a big crowd. The most stained page in my book is the one containing Betsey Hall's recipe, "Spinach Salad II." It has an amazing sweet, tart, creamy, robust dressing that includes four hardboiled eggs that you puree in a blender with onion, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, cream and oil — yum.
So if you came upon a copy of the book at a tag sale or in a used book store (it's no longer in print but can be found online at websites such as www.alibris.com or www.abebooks.com) the recipes alone make it worth a look. But the book itself really is a work of art.
Edited by Katie Utter Schaffer, the book features hand lettering — yes, that's right, hand-written, impeccable, lyrical lettering — by Nan Young, and delicate drawings by Laura Kent, daughter of founder and then-music director George Kent, scattered throughout, a violin, here, a trumpet and a pair of tympani there.
Also throughout are a selection of quotes that focus on food, drink, music and generally living well. Most recipe contributors are names from the chorus' 1978 membership rolls but soloists and orchestra players of the time also contributed. Some authors — such as The Choir Camp Cookie Lady — remain cloaked in mystery.
Choir camp is an annual summer camp for child singers from the chorus and from the choir at Christ Church in Westerly. Still staffed to this day by a cross pollination of volunteers from each organization and still held at Camp Ogontz in Littleton, N.H., the camp is known for its beauty, its music, its creative recreational activities, both indoors and out, and its tradition of delicious and lovingly prepared food for the masses.
This recipe, Choir Camp Ginger Cookies, is one that reflects the "live life to the fullest" philosophy embodied by this group. As if a demonstration that these people don't do anything small, this recipe makes a lot of cookies, a gross in fact. I divided the quantities by eight to achieve what I feel is a socially acceptable number of cookies for two people to eat and share with others over the course of a week or so.
Cook them less and these warm, spicy disks will be chewy in the middle and crisp around the edges. Cook them a bit longer and they'll be snappy throughout, perfect for dunking into a glass of cold milk or a steamy cup of tea.
In the book, the quote on the page with the ginger cookie recipe is from Henry James:
"Summer afternoon — summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."
Choir Camp Ginger Cookies
Makes 18, 4-inch cookies
¾ cup shortening (better with butter, softened)
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour (half whole wheat would be delicious I think)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground cloves
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare two cookie sheets. I use a silicone mat under these cookies, which works perfectly, but I think parchment paper also would guarantee success. If you don't have either of these, I would spray the cookie sheets with cooking spray.
Put shortening and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on slow speed until well combined and creamy, scraping the bowl down as needed. Or cream them together by hand.
Add beaten egg and molasses, mixing until well combined, scraping the bowl down as needed.
In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until well combined.
To get 18, 4-inch cookies, use a 1.5 ounce ice cream scoop (about 7 teaspoons, a little more than 2 tablespoons) and drop the dough onto the cookie sheets, keeping the lumps of dough 3-4 inches apart. The original recipe says to flatten the dough with a fork, but I use the bottom of a glass that I dip in granulated sugar in between each cookie.
Bake 10 minutes for crispy edges and chewy middles. Bake longer (keep your eye on them though) for totally crispy cookies.
Original recipe from "The Well Tempered Kitchen: A collection of the favorite recipes of the Westerly Community Chorus and their friends."

Bonus recipe: Spinach Salad II
Serves 8-12
2 packages fresh spinach
4 hard-boiled eggs
1 medium onion
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt & pepper to taste
4 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cream (or milk)
2 tablespoons oil
Wash spinach and, if using big leaves, remove stems and tear into bite-size pieces. If using baby spinach, keep stems.
Combine all remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Note: If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can finely grate the onion and the eggs.

Frank Oz Isn't Thrilled With the New Muppets Movie
"I don't think they respected the characters."
Hollywood veteran Frank Oz has long voiced Miss Piggy (and even directed The Muppets Take Manhattan), but you won't find his voice in the franchise revival of The Muppets out next month. "I turned it down," Oz tells Metro. "I wasn't happy with the script. I don't think they respected the characters. But I don't want to go on about it like a sourpuss and hurt the movie." According to THR, Oz himself was hoping to mount the next Muppet movie himself until Disney struck a deal with star Jason Segel, but Oz isn't the only one dissatisfied with the new direction: Other Muppet insiders quibbled with jokes in the film (like Fozzie's fart-shoes, given a point of prominence in the most recent trailer) or even the plot point that Kermit now lives in a mansion, which causes the other Muppets to resent him for his wealth. Look, until Beaker goes on the record, it's all hearsay. [Metro, THR]

If you're here reading this chances are that you have a firm love and affection for potatoes. You are not alone. I am a potato lover and trust me when I tell you that I have mourned to loss of potatoes on IP. Although the plan's Potato Puree is decent… it's definitely NOT potato. Oh, neither is mashed cauliflower.
At my weigh in last Friday our coach had put up a flyer that had pictures of different vegetables and if you lifted the flap you would see the name of the veggie and some facts and a recipe.
One picture I noticed right away because I had it for the first time just this past summer: RUTABAGA! It was a surprisingly mild taste and it certainly wasn't nearly as bad as it sounded. I was even looking for them on my last shopping venture because I liked it but I couldn't find it. There was something called Waxed Yellow Turnip that suspiciously looked like a rutabaga but I wasn't taking any chances. They are, in fact, one and the same. Now that I knew what they were I picked them up and let my husband work his magic!
Rutabaga Fries
2 cups Rutabaga cut into fry shape
Adobo Seasoning or Old Bay
2 Tbl Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Take the olive oil and place in a saute pan on the stove on med high heat. Add in the Adobo Seasoning or Old Bay to the oil. When hot put in rutabaga and cook like french fries. When toasty brown remove from oil, drain on paper towels. Add salt and pepper to taste. NOTE: A nice complement to this dish is Walden Farms Ketchup!
After having these tasty potato free fries I was hooked. The secret to a successful eating plan is to not feel deprived. It was getting a little dangerous the more I kept missing food… mourning food. I'm still thinking of ways to be sure that I say on plan for Thanksgiving! The joy of this recipe is that I feel like I'm eating potatoes… like everyone else… like any other day.
Let me know if you try them or if you have found any other food that can take the place of one of your former favorites AND make you happy!

Great Perseids.
Got a calendar? Circle this date: Sunday, August 12th. Next to the circle write "all night" and "Meteors!" Attach the above to your refrigerator in plain view so you won't miss the 2007 Perseid meteor shower.
"It's going to be a great show," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "The Moon is new on August 12th--which means no moonlight, dark skies and plenty of meteors." How many? Cooke estimates one or two Perseids per minute at the shower's peak.
The annual Perseid meteor shower is caused by the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle intersecting Earth's orbit. For the best view, go somewhere away from city lights. And if you stay up late enough, you'll get a good view of Mars rising the same night! Link -via J-Walk Blog

Time Zone class inherits from a Java.util.time zone. This class represents a time zone offset.
Time Zone class inherits from a Java.util.time zone. This class represents a time zone offset. The Time zone gives you a specific time zone of a specific locale where the program is running. In case a program running in USA,This class creates a time zone object based on USA.
In this Tutorial we want to describe you a code that help you in understanding a Get Time Zone. For this we have a Class name Get Time Zone. Inside the main method the calendar class call a get Instance ( ) method returns you the default zone and locale and in order to get an instance of calendar class in a calendar object. The calendar object calls getTimeZone method and return the calendar current's time of the zone by System.out.println. method. Time Zone ( ) is a static method that return you all the Id supported. Date Format is a abstract class used for date, time formatting class.
Date Format df = DateFormat.getDateInstance( ) - The DateFormat.getDateInstance returns you the date for the different locale. This provides you to get the time format for a specified country.
The System.out.println print the time zone for a given id .GetTimeZone.java

The Most Powerful Veeps Ever
The Times Magazine delivers a journalistic cliché in its Joe Biden feature.
Shafer's first law of journalism states that no article can be created or destroyed; it can only change form.
This timeless truth gets a workout in the pages of our most prestigious newspapers and magazines with the election of every new vice president. Whether composed by a reporter assigned to the vice president beat who hopes that a little exaggeration will raise the profile of his work or by a bureau chief who figures that extravagant praise in print will provide the source grease for future scoops, the "he's the most powerful vice president ever" story has become a Washington staple.
The Nov. 29 New York Times Magazine bestows the "most powerful vice president in history" accolade on Joe Biden with the qualifier that he's the most powerful vice president in history after that Cheney guy. Written by James Traub, who scampers around the globe and down the White House's halls with the logorrheic 47th vice president, the piece conforms to all the clichés of most-powerful-veep genre. It catalogs the size of his staff, the number of meetings he has with the president, the number of important presidential briefings he attends, the number of private lunches he has with the president, the breadth of his policy portfolio, the air miles he's flown on diplomatic missions as "Obama's fire chief and ambassador without portfolio," and the frequency of his impromptu sessions with the president ("Very seldom a week goes by that he doesn't call me down to his office, or wander in here and close the door and say, 'Wait a minute, what about this?' " Biden tells Traub).
Just because Traub finds Biden so damn all-powerful doesn't mean that he can't also recognize that the man is a doofus, too. Traub, who has contributed to Slate, calls the vice president "a windbag," ridicules him for telling the same long anecdote twice in 36 hours to the traveling press and his aides without being aware of the repetition, and dings him for his "unscheduled rhetorical flights," some of which have been preserved in Slate's "Bidenisms" column.
But doofusness doesn't automatically negate vice-presidential power. Indeed, the case can be made that doofusness assists in the achievement of vice-presidential power. Take Al Gore. Is there a bigger doofus? The man could have moved directly into the White House if only he'd promised the nation during the 2000 campaign another eight years just like the previous eight. But no, he had to speak mysteriously about "powerful forces and powerful interest" standing in your way and completely confuse the electorate.
Yet on March 15, 1993, less than two months after Gore and Bill Clinton took their oaths and well before he'd had a chance to do much of anything except move his knickknacks and family into the vice president's residence on Massachusetts Avenue Northwest, Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau Chief Jack Nelson seized valuable Page One real estate to anoint Gore the potentially greatest veep. The headline read:
Gore May Emerge as Most Influential Vice President
White House: He Plays Self-Effacing Role, but Clinton Has Leaned Heavily on Him for Advice on Crucial Issues
Nelson, who died in October, found evidence of Gore's White House pull everywhere he looked. Gore met "frequently and regularly with the president," was "one of only a handful of advisers with direct access to the Oval Office," was considered by Clinton to be "his alter ego within the White House." He quotes President Clinton telling his Cabinet, "Whenever you get a call from the vice president, I want you to treat it as a call from me" and collects this bit of harmony from Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos: "And before any big decision is made, the president always wants to know, 'What does Al think?' "
Even when a modern vice president is so irrelevant he can't get his calls returned by the president's valet, press can be relied upon to produce a hagiographic masterpiece about him, as Bob Woodward and David S. Broder did in January 1992 with a seven-part, 40,000-word, six-months-in-the-making Washington Post series about Vice President Dan Quayle. The series served as the foundation for their 1992 book, The Man Who Would Be President: Dan Quayle. Amazon lists 113 copies priced as low as 1 cent apiece, if you're interested. They make excellent fire-starter.
Even the Post knew the Quayle series sucked. The paper's press reporter, Howard Kurtz, wrote that most members of paper's national staff he interviewed found the series "too favorable to Quayle." A disappointed Tom Rosenstiel, then a Los Angeles Times media reporter, told Kurtz, "The stories were told to a large degree from his point of view." Quayle campaign aides liked the series so much they leafleted reporters in New Hampshire who were covering the Bush-Quayle re-election effort, Kurtz reported.
Before Quayle claimed the title, the big veep on the Washington campus was, of course, George H.W. Bush, whom White House press secretary Jim Brady tried to sell to the press as Ronald Reagan's "co-president" in March 1981. And before Bush came Vice President Walter Mondale, the original Most Powerful Vice President. "The possibility that Walter F. Mondale will turn out to be the most powerful Vice President in the nation's history is now emerging," trilled U.S. News & World Report in its Jan. 31, 1977, issue, just a few days after the Carter-Mondale inauguration. Mondale was the first veep with working quarters inside the White House, Dom Bonafede reported in a March 11, 1978, National Journal piece titled "Vice President Mondale—Carter's Partner With Portfolio." Mondale loved to brag about his influence and closeness to the president, and the press happily repeated the boast.
Just because Traub (whose work I admire) and his editors make it easy to ridicule the Biden feature doesn't mean you shouldn't read it, especially if you're interested in the man who could be president or you're fascinated by power's tendrils rather than its roots. But is it too much to ask that we retire from journalism the conceit that the vice president should be profiled only if we're prepared to call him the most powerful (or even the second-most-powerful) person to warm the seat?
Who was the most powerful editor of Slate? Some say it was founding editor Michael Kinsley, and others say Jacob Weisberg, who now runs the Slate Group. I put my money on the current editor, David Plotz, who can dunk a basketball, bench press 200 pounds, was once company table tennis champion, and who has an office right next to mine.

Sykes Puts In A Stunning Double Win As He Leads By 37 Points
October 7, 2013
Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) scored his third double race win of the season at Magny
Cours today and in doing so took a strong 37 point lead with only one round of the championship remaining.
In the first race Sykes was not seriously threatened after he headed off into the lead at lap record pace,
taking a new best lap in race conditions of 1'38.345. He would go on and beat in an even more impressive
race two performance.
In the opening race, scheduled for 23 laps, Tom had a two second advantage over Sylvain Guintoli as the
laps timed down. When a red flag was shown to halt the race because of a bike laying on track on fire,
Sykes was declared the winner and, as enough laps had been completed to call it a full result, he was
awarded full points.
The second race also did not quite go the full distance and when rains started towards the end, two riders
crashed behind Tom. A red flag was shown to halt proceedings again and this time Sykes was 11.091
seconds ahead in the final race results.
On lap four of race two Tom set a final new lap record, 1'37.932. This was Tom's ninth race win of 2013,
the 14th of his career.
David Salom (Kawasaki Racing Team) had a tough weekend in some regards as a stand in for team
regular Loris Baz, falling three times. He also scored points, however, with two eleventh places on
raceday - a good effort from rider and team given that bad weather had robbed them of some clear track
time in practice.
Kawasaki Team Pedercini rider Federico Sandi was 12th in race one, and 13th in race two, with Mark
Aitchison having a big highside crash in race one but finishing race two in 12th place.
A Superstock 1000 FIM Cup race win for Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Kawasaki) was a hometown victory on
his Ninja ZX-10R. The race was stopped for a red flag and reduced to an eventual nine laps, which
Guarnoni eventually dominated. Lorenzo Savadori (Kawasaki Team Pedercini) was third. Leandro
Mercado (Kawasaki Team Pedercini) placed fifth in the race.
Tom Sykes: "It is great to score a double win here and we made two small changes in the bike to race
two. We are always chasing perfection. That is what we spend our lives doing. When you are on the edge
all the time you have got very small changes that make a big outcome. The bike was very nice to ride
today and the races went very well. When the circuit and conditions suit a bike and rider you have to take
the most advantage from it. Magny Cours was generous to me, the bike and all at Kawasaki, so this was
great. It was spitting with rain at the end of race two and that was difficult to manage, even though I had a
big gap and not much pressure. I was sliding the rear a lot. We still have some work to do but the good
thing is that we have been there or thereabouts all season."
David Salom: "It ended up a hard weekend. The team worked very hard for me after three crashes but
with 11th position in each race I am happy in one way, happy with progress in the second race being
faster than the first race. With three crashes it was difficult. I am sorry for that but happy that we made
progress. I think it was possible for me to finish better, if I had been riding a Superbike all season. I am
sure it would have been a little bit better that way."

DRAMA CLUB: Marry Him If You Dare Episodes 1-2 (1/2)
Hey there all my fellow Drama Clubbers! It's me, Zombie Mamma, here along with Tanya and Martina to take you through the next sixteen episodes of what has to be my most anticipated show of the year, Marry Him If You Dare! Are you ready? Then let's go!
Before we dive into this week's episodes, I should probably warn you now that I'm a HUGE fan of both Yoon Eun Hye and Jung Yong Hwa so I may spend an inordinate amount of time squealing and swooning over the next several weeks so bear with me...or join me...as we dig into Marry Him If You Dare together.
There's so much about these first two episodes that I like: the time travel, the schemes of a crazy woman, the desperate attempt to change your fate...they're all great, but it's the characters, namely Mi Rae herself, that I absolutely love. Two episodes in and I'm already wishing I could be her best friend, partially because she reminds me of Lorelei Gilmore but beyond that, she's just too cute. There's something about her particular combination of desperation and spunk that makes her irresistible and I'm not the only one to notice as evidenced by the fact that Park Se Joo has fallen for her before the end of episode one. (And yes, I'm choosing to believe he's fallen for her on her personality alone and not because he watched her skinny dipping. O_o)
Oh Park Se Joo! If ever a guy looked at me the way he looked at Mi Rae when asked if he'd ever fallen in love, I'd melt in an instant. *swoon!* Once again Jung Yong Hwa has managed to land a role that's instantly captured my heart. With his sweet temper, honest heart and devastating good looks how could you not fall for Park Se Joo? The question is, how long will it take for Mi Rae to fall completely head-over-heels for him? I'm hoping it won't take long because I'm ready to ship them now.
That being said, I can't shake the feeling things aren't going to play out between them the way I'd like. Maybe it's because I've watched one too many K-dramas or maybe it's because I've still got the sadly overlooked Kang Shin Woo embedded in my brain, but I can't get the thought of Mi Rae ending up with the jerk Kim Shin by the end. No matter how awesome Kim Shin's Clark Kent hair is, I don't want see Mi Rae with anyone other than Se Joo. What worries me is that Future Mi Rae warned her younger self of what could happen when she said, "A bad fate is still fate...if you're meant to meet him, you'll meet him no matter what." My question is, just because they meet, are they destined to be together? I'm really hoping that's not the case, mostly because I don't think my poor heart can watch Yong Hwa's character be passed over for a jerk…again. *sniff*
So what are your thoughts of Marry Him If You Dare? Are you enjoying it as much as I am or am I just suffering from serious fan-girl delusions of this show's greatness? Do you think this down-and-out girl can really change her stars or do you think Future Mi Rae's meddling will only make things worse? What about Future Mi Rae's warning about the death of a loved one? Is it really Mi Rae's brother or someone else? Share your thoughts in the comments below and let's chat!

What's the Big Idea?
The bursting of the dot com bubble in 2000 and the real-estate bubble in 2008 not only gutted workers' bank accounts – it shook to the core whatever trust they had left in their employers. This is a story that began in the manufacturing sector, as companies began to close down factories, ship jobs overseas, and to default on long-promised pensions. Since 1998, according to the AFL-CIO, three million jobs have been lost in US manufacturing. The writing was on the wall: this was no longer the "we're-all-in-it-together" America of the post World War II golden years. "You're on your own, kid. Watch your back." was the unmistakable message to the younger generation. The response of many businesses was, not surprisingly, "Look. We're a business. We have to cut costs to keep competitive."
This breach of trust between businesses and workers has had dire consequences for both sides. For workers, the consequences are obvious: lack of job security, and lack of motivation and investment in their work. Companies, too, are finding it harder and harder to retain promising young employees, who are quick to jump ship at the sight of a better opportunity. The HR and training costs of hiring repeatedly for the same positions are enormous, not to mention the incalculable bottom-line effects of a semi-committed workforce.
Fortune magazine named Boston Consulting Group #2 among the 100 Best Companies to work for in 2011. Rich Lesser, BCG's Chairman for North and South America, shares one good reason why; from overreacting to the dot com bust with a wave of downsizing, BCG learned a key lesson: people need to come first. A company is only as strong as the bonds of trust and cooperation among its staff – erode employee loyalty, and you rot out the core of the business. Therefore when the 2008 recession hit, BCG decided to cut anything and everything before personnel.
Watch the video:
What's the Significance?
"Retention, even in difficult times," says Lesser, "becomes a bellwether for employees about whether they should invest back in you, and so your priority is . . . to know the things that are most important to your future success, and invest starting with the people.'"
"Conscious capitalist" companies like Whole Foods attach a fully-fleshed ideology to this commitment, using internal language (e.g. "team member" for employee) and structures (e.g. public forums for passing feedback up the corporate ladder) to codify their loyalty to all of their stakeholders and their awareness of their common humanity. This is nice, powerful even, but not necessary.
It would be sufficient – and a huge step forward – for every business to recognize its employees as the very essence of the company, and to demonstrate that recognition by taking every possible measure to retain them, especially during tough times. Belt-tightening, people can handle – presented well, it can even strengthen their collective bond as mates on a storm-tossed ship. But (to stretch the metaphor almost to its breaking point) tossing people overboard in an effort to lighten the load isn't likely to do much for the morale of the rest of the crew.

|Yes, it's a fan you wear like a back pack and a parachute! That's it!
And then I see this. Today, I saw the next best thing to Icarus's wings (before he flew too close to the sun and they melted). He ran, jumped, and flew. No cliffs, no airplane, no joke. And very little equipment either!
I screamed at my mom to come look. She ignored me probably because me screaming is at least a twice daily occurrence, and something my momlearned to ignore a long time ago in the interest of maintaining her sanity. Luckily my dad gave up any efforts to save his sanity years ago, and answered the phone.
I'm probably going to order one off Ebay tonight.

Deal of the Day
Deal of the DayEnjoy water filtration with your units by connecting the Water Pipe Adapter to the CF, CFX, or CFV.
Likes2Vape - F***combustion.com [CFV]
"For dry use and passing between buddies I am really liking the CFV!!! The flavor is amazing the whole bowl and if you have that one buddy who likes to sit a talk into the mic this is perfect!! No more baking your herb away!!"
Marc -Puffitup.com [CF]
Love this. Perfect. Good battery life, good flavor. Easy to clean. Buy this one.
Mike -Planet of the Vapes [CFC]
Best Quality Session Portable. The 100% Convection and excellent smoothness, effiency and taste makes it my favorite portable. I recommend the water adapter, it's even more free flowing, heavy hitting and condensed. Its the best quality vapor from a session portable , best overall with the water adapter.
Vaporizerwizard.com [CFX]
The vapor quality on the CFX is good overall, especially for the price. The vapor density is really good, this thing can kick out clouds. The vapor is fairly cool and smooth, and the flavor is above average.
Paintthemoon.org [CF][CFX]
I think these vapes have a strong potential to become the next standard of mid-tier portable vaporizers that aren't out of the financial reach of a beginner or seasoned vaporist. The quick heat up times, efficiency, ease of use, and flavor have many people agreeing that these are strong vapes that stack up nicely to the competition.
CF- Best Budget Portable
Big thanks to the team at Australian Vaporizers for giving the Boundless CF this acclamation

Typically, I would write about a chill in the air, sunny but shorter days, the first frost and other autumn themes in the October edition. However, on warm days this month, the temperature required shorts and a T-shirt for many.
While the variable rainfall pattern and unusual warmth throw Delaware farmers a curve ball, students in my Sustainable and Organic Farming course enjoy the weather as we spend every Friday on the farm practicing what's preached in class. They work in teams to produce kale, broccoli, cauliflower or lettuce—all cool season crops. This reinforces the challenges farmers face with weather. As the season turns over Homecoming weekend, we will soon eat kale and lettuce, along with broccoli and cauliflower by Thanksgiving. The grand college tradition of Homecoming falls on the last weekend of October, so it's a great time to reflect on certain events.
Fall festivities
Fall Fest Success! The first ever CANR Fall Fest was a great hit in September. Designed as a "welcome back" event for our students, we hosted over 200 students, faculty and staff on a gorgeous fall afternoon. The menu included UD Fresh to You organic garden produce and UD-raised Angus hamburgers. A great time was had by all. In addition to Grace Wisser, our event coordinator, I am grateful to many who worked hard to develop this event:
- Scott Hopkins and the UD farm team (Richard Morris, Mark Baker, Ron Gouge, Charlie Willis, Albie Nojunas, Sam Reynolds, Rodney Willis, Larry Armstrong and Wayne Bartsch)
- Mike Popovich (UD Fresh to You)
- Chef Carl Zampini and catering team
- Sara Dietz and the sisters of Sigma Alpha Professional Sorority
- Matthew Bogdan and the brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho
- Alpha Zeta
- Agricultural College Council
- Ag Ambassadors
- UD Creamery
- Communications team (Wenbo Fan, Catherine Hamrick, Christy Mannering and Adam Thomas)
By the way, we still have Angus burgers for sale in the Creamery—get 'em while they last!

Retirements, searches and personnel changes
In the August Blog, I failed to mention that Judy Hough-Goldstein, professor of Entomology, began her retirement sabbatical year and will retire officially in June 2017. Judy worked on biological control of invasive plant species, notably the mile-a-minute weed, and served UD for 35 years. She is also a great fiddle player and frequently played bluegrass music at Ag Day. Hail and well done, Judy; we will miss you!
As Judy and several others retire, we're working quickly on searches to fill important positions throughout the College.
- In Plant and Soil Sciences, we seek a molecular biologist to work on crop genetics, genomics and related topics. This person will join other CANR faculty located in the Delaware Biotechnology Institute.
- In the same department, we will hire an agronomist with primarily Extension responsibilities early in 2017.
- Accompanying the agronomist will be an Extension entomologist in our Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology. That search is well underway.
- The Department of Applied Economics and Statistics plans to fill three positions in statistics, two predominantly focused on teaching and the other a teaching/research split appointment. These searches, combined with other recent hires in statistics, will renew the statistics side of the department in just three years!
- In Extension, we will shortly announce the next poultry agent who will be housed at the Carvel Center in Georgetown, serving Delaware's largest agricultural industry. Details will appear in the December Blog.
- At Carvel, Sharon Webb has filled the position of business administrator, replacing Barbara Stephenswho retired this month after 43 years of service. Sharon will keep Mark Isaacs straight. Sharon's old position will be posted soon. A new lab coordinator will oversee the critical function of our Lasher Laboratory for poultry disease diagnostics.
- We will also fill a business officer position that will be a great asset to Michelle Rodgers in managing the fiscal complexity of Delaware Cooperative Extension.
- Last, we will welcome a new financial coordinator to the dean's suite in early 2017, as we look to build the personnel infrastructure to support CANR's position as the third largest College at UD in terms of sponsored programs. I thank all of the faculty and staff who have served on search committees and done the behind the scenes work to bring the best candidates to the CANR family.
Congratulations to staff members who were reclassified recently.
- Mike Popovich, who manages the UD Fresh to You and Garden for the Community enterprises that bring local, organically grown vegetables to both the Newark area and the Food Bank of Delaware, has been reclassified to farm manager. This well-deserved and long overdue reclassification recognizes all that Mike does to enhance teaching, research and Extension in the College.
- Katie Daly was reclassified to academic program manager in recognition of her tireless efforts in recruiting and advising undergraduate students. As tuition dollars provide the majority of the College's budget, we couldn't exist without Katie's efforts and those of her colleagues in Undergraduate Student Services.
I thank Kawkab Rasheed, Kathryn Thoroughgood, Chris Towers and others who prepare and review reclassifications.
UD to grow under Assanis administration
Our 28th president, Dennis Assanis, has been developing plans for the growth of UD as he settles into his new role. The deans and other administrators have met frequently throughout the fall to plan for growth, which includes 1,000 new undergraduate students and a doubling of graduate student numbers within five years. To accommodate such growth, we look to hire 250 new faculty members over the same period.
And we don't simply want to grow quantitatively; we will endeavor to enhance the quality of our teaching, research and outreach as well. It's too early to say how we will grow in terms of buildings and infrastructure, but UD's skyline will clearly change as we bring in more students, faculty and staff. Obviously, this has created a lot of excitement across campus as we imagine new possibilities. Indeed, Delaware will shine in the coming years!
Speaking of shining—the days may be getting shorter, but the sun always rises beautifully over CANR, whatever the season. Happy Homecoming and Happy Halloween. Go Blue Hens!
The Blog will return in December in time for winter break along with a final 2016 roundup of our research in the news. We continue to grow our presence in traditional print and new media. For example, here is a quick snapshot of our September placements. I invite you to follow us on social media!

GPS-Enabled Wireless Service Provides Location-Based Group Communication for the First Time
Lets Users Share Their Location With Others Anywhere on the Nextel National Network
DULLES, VIRGINIA and OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS and WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 3, 2005) -
MapQuest Inc., Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM)(TSX:RIM) and Sprint (NYSE:S) today announced new group communication functionality for "MapQuest Find Me." The GPS-enabled wireless service is now available on the BlackBerry 7520™ Wireless Handheld, operating on the Nextel National Network.
"MapQuest Find Me" lets users automatically find their location, access maps and directions and locate nearby points of interest including airports, hotels, restaurants, banks and ATMs. "MapQuest ® Find Me" now allows users to share their location with colleagues, friends and family members as well as view the location of other users who have opted to join their private networks. Users also can now set up alerts to be notified when network members arrive or depart from a designated area.
"Location-based solutions are an important arena for MapQuest, and we are thrilled to introduce this exciting new group communication functionality to 'MapQuest Find Me,'" said Austin Klahn, chief technology officer for MapQuest, Inc. "This development, along with the availability of 'MapQuest Find Me' on the Blackberry 7520, will help us further meet our goal to deliver innovative, more intelligent mapping solutions to our users, wherever they may be."
Sprint customers using the Blackberry 7520 from Nextel can take advantage of the walkie-talkie technology along with support for wireless email, phone, organizer, Internet browser and corporate data applications. "MapQuest Find Me" complements these applications with intelligent, location-aware maps and directions.
"'MapQuest Find Me' is a good example of how the wireless data industry is evolving to support a wide array of applications beyond email and adding incremental layers of productivity and flexibility for users and companies," said Mark Guibert, vice president, corporate marketing at Research In Motion. "The BlackBerry 7520 on the Nextel National Network, with its integrated GPS capabilities, large color screen, easy navigation and optimized performance, is ideal for the 'MapQuest Find Me' application."
"As more and more people understand how location-based services can enhance their quality of life, we will continue to see the demand for unique variations of this technology," said Mary Foltz, director of product management and development for Sprint. "We have a long-standing relationship with MapQuest and RIM and are pleased to extend this technology to our customers. The new 'MapQuest Find Me' service is another example of Sprint's leadership in the GPS space, and we will continue to include it in our portfolio of wireless data solutions."
The new functionality of "MapQuest Find Me" includes:
- Location-Based Group Communication: Create private networks where other "MapQuest Find Me" users, such as colleagues, friends and family members, can opt-in to exchange and share their current locations. Users can find their network members on a buddy list-type feature and view their locations on a map, right on their wireless device or online at a private web site.
- Alerts & Notifications: Set up alerts to be notified via SMS or email when users (who opt-in to share their location) arrive or depart from a designated area
In addition to these new features, "MapQuest Find Me" continues to offer:
- Automatic Location Reporting: Leverage GPS technology to easily identify your current location without manually entering an address, ZIP code or other information.
- Points of Interest Locator: Find hotels, conference centres, banks, restaurants, theaters and other points of interest based on their proximity to your current location or any U.S. address.
- Interactive Maps and Driving Directions: Get interactive maps and text-based turn-by-turn directions to any destination in the United States.
- Convenient Address Book: Store addresses or points of interest to save time when you need directions again. Update your Address Book on the Web and automatically refresh information on your wireless device.
- Peace of Mind: Send your location as a text message to trusted colleagues, friends and family members or allow them to view your location on a private web site.

Ladybug beetles are exterminated by using residual insecticide or pesticide. Non-chemical control methods, such as light trapping, sweeping or vacuuming, don't kill the pesky pests.Continue Reading
Ladybug beetles invade homes during the winter to hibernate. They get into homes through cracks, crevices and any gaps spotted, such as open windows or doors. While these beetles are beneficial and harmless in nature, they often infest homes in large numbers, causing unnecessary disturbances.
Essentially, the most effective method for eliminating ladybugs is spraying residual insecticide. Generally, the pests are killed at the point of contact with the deadly chemical. To prevent their return, chemicals are sprayed around the exterior of doors and windows, cracks, gaps, crevices and any other habitat.Learn more about Beetles

The creation of a harmonised system for the unique identification and the traceability of an explosive – from its production site and its first placing on the market until its final user and its use – aims at reducing the misuse for terrorist purposes and ensuring the security of citizens.
The implementation of the Directive 2012/4/EU of 22 February 2012 amending Directive 2008/43/EC setting up, pursuant to Council Directive 93/15/EEC, a system for the identification and traceability of explosives for civil uses has been postponed due to the difficulties and challenges that it means for the supply chain.
The new deadlines for implementation are:
- 5 April 2013 for manufacturers and importers to properly mark explosives following the new requirements
- 5 April 2015 for the supply chain to keep date collection and record keeping
Industrial Minerals producers are users of explosives. IMA-Europe actively participates in the working group created in order to identify the areas that need further work and cooperation, to communicate and to pass on the message to all relevant players and to prepare an action plan to insure the proper implementation of the directive on time. The group includes explosives manufacturers and their representatives, supply chain representatives, software providers and representatives from the European Commission.

Learn a few simple steps so you can improvise a homemade dressing in a flash with the ingredients you already have on hand -- no measuring required.
Step One: Build Flavor
Start with finely chopped garlic, ginger, onion, shallot, herbs, or capers, and honey, soy sauce, or Dijon mustard (which will help emulsify). Season with salt and pepper.
Step Two: Add Acid
A vinaigrette gets its name from vinegar (red- or white-wine, balsamic, or cider vinegar are all good choices), but lemon or lime juice do the trick, too.
Step Three: Pour in Oil
Traditionally, vinaigrettes are 1 part acid to 3 parts oil, but we also like a light, bright 1-to-2 ratio. Use a grassy extra-virgin olive oil for big flavor, or try vegetable, safflower, or light olive oil.
Step Four: Mix It Up
Shake it in a jar, whisk it in a bowl, or whir it up in a blender for a thicker result. Most vinaigrettes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Fresh Combos to Try
- garlic, thyme, Dijon mustard, red-wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil
- garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, lime juice, safflower oil
- shallot, honey, orange zest, lemon juice, light olive oil
- chopped capers, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil
- ginger, honey, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil
- shallot, cilantro, roasted jalapeno, lemon juice, light olive oil
- mint, lemon zest and juice, peanut oil

Nice little outfit Marvelous is about to take off in her fourth layout. The heels could be a little higher, but, here we go again, wanting more. More, more more. Well, a man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a penis for? One of Marvelous' fantasies is "getting my pussy sucked on top of the hood of a car with black cherry ice cream." That's a new one and sounds a little chilly. Her kinkiest fucking in real life was on top of a washing machine in a laundry room. That must have been a moving experience. She truly has beautifully shaped tits.

Quick Reference
(1905–90), British journalist, whose flair for the editorial use of photographs eventually earned him a knighthood. Brought in at the foundation of Picture Post in 1937, he became editor in 1941. He was sacked in 1951, and in 1958 became editor of the South African magazine Drum, operating in semi-clandestinity under the apartheid regime. In the 1960s he established the first pan-African university journalism courses, and in the 1970s and 1980s founded and directed the Centre for Journalism Studies at Cardiff University.

A North Korean official has denied the country's government is responsible for the recent hacking attack on the Sony Pictures database.
The movie giant's computer network was compromised at the end of November (14) and the personal details of many stars, including Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz, were stolen, along with recent and upcoming releases from the studio, including Brad Pitt's war drama Fury.
It was thought officials in North Korea were responsible for the incident to take revenge on the movie giant over its upcoming comedy The Interview, in which James Franco and Seth Rogen try to assassinate the country's dictator Kim Jong Un.
Government heads have publicly condemned the movie, but a spokesperson has now issued a statement denying any involvement behind the hack.
It reads, "We do not know where in America the Sony Pictures is situated and for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack nor we feel the need to know about it... But what we clearly know is that the Sony Pictures is the very one which was going to produce a film abetting a terrorist act while hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK...
"The hacking into the Sony Pictures might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathisers with the DPRK in response to its appeal... What matters here is that the U.S. set the DPRK as the target of the investigation, far from reflecting on its wrongdoings and being shameful of being taken unawares... The U.S. should also know that there are a great number of supporters and sympathisers with the DPRK all over the world as well as the 'champions of peace' who attacked the Sony Pictures."
Hacking organization Guardians of the Peace have since taken responsibility for the leak. On Friday (05Dec14), they allegedly sent threatening messages to staff at Sony Pictures.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officers are investigating both incidents.

As of January 1, the tax laws allow for taxpayers to avoid estate taxes up to the amount of $5.25 million and $10.5 million for couples. As great as this may be for the 'ultrawealthy,' there may be concerns about leaving these large sums to their heirs. As we have seen over the past decade or so, the children of this ultrawealthy class don't seem to manage their affairs particularly well, and often find themselves embroiled in tabloid drama. The Wall Street Journal addressed this question in an article entitled "Can you trust your kid with $5.25 million?"
Many people who are planning their estates may have similar concerns when choosing heirs and the amount to give to them in their wills. Though most families don't have $5.25 million to give to an heir, the article still presents an interesting question: can the potential heir handle and manage the amount they're given? Obviously, much of this capacity is based on age and maturity level, but there are legal options in estate planning that can help to control how and when the funds are used.
The article gave a few tips to aid with this question, one of which was 'keeping it quiet.' If the heir is not aware of the amount they will be given, they will not be able to depend on the funds and will be forced to live their life 'normally' until the funds come unto them.
Speaking with an experienced estate planning attorney can present options to ensure that an estate is well-cared for, and the wishes of the decedent are respected and followed.

From a reader who wants to know more about ettiquette.
Because I'm totally qualified to talk about fancy manners on social media, right?
Laurie, I figured I would ask you this question since I am subscribed to your blog and enjoy reading it daily. I am on Facebook merely for personal reasons – staying connected to my friends from grade/junior high and high school & a few of my family members who live in other states. I am a HR Representative and have received requests from a few people at work. I felt awkward and didn't want to ignore their requests, so I added them. I have a very strong work ethic and they know that I am responsible for enforcing and obey our policy/procedures, but I am still outgoing and since we have a low turnover rate, everyone knows each other. I want to delete these "few" people from my list, but am not sure how to do it…or what to say when I do it. What advice can you give me as I don't want to mix business with pleasure? Help!! Thanks!
The nice thing about social media is that you get to choose the way you engage.
- If you want to delete them, delete them. They won't even notice.
- If they do notice, you can say that you're using Facebook just for personal reasons.
- Or you can take the passive-aggressive route and lie. I've offered this strategy in the past because lying can be a good way to save face. You can say that you're not sure what happened, you'll look into it, and then just avoid the conversation in the future.
There you go. Delete and don't look back. That's my advice.
Anyone else?
