Now THIS is what breakfast should look like! My stomach is growling already. Cannot wait to try!
SO in love with this ramen! I bet the miso in the broth gives it so so much flavor. And the gourmet mushrooms… I. Can't. Even. Seriously so excited to make this one! Going on the weekly meal plan!
These energy bites were amazing! I had to use almond butter because peanut butter doesn't like me. I'm embarrassed to say just how many of theses I ate in one sitting 😊
This is so delicious! So easy to make and the Carmel sauce is da bomb!!
Wow, this is probably the most beautiful presentation of pumpkin soup I've ever seen! I wish I had a bowl of this in front of my right now ❤

What a beautifully presented salad. The colors of the ingredients are so vibrant, and the textures they provide makes this salad very fascinating. The salad dressing is also well balanced in flavors. This salad makes eating healthy so enjoyable.
What a pretty breakfast! Sounds so delicious and festive!
These all look AMAZING! I never thought of using freeze-dried strawberries so will definitely have to try that one out!
OMG! This sounds so delicious, such a creative recipe, I am a fan of sweet potatoes, but have never thought of using them like this! This is incredible 🙂
I didn't know what to make for breakfast but saw this and next thing I know I'm eating a sweet potato toast variety plate! lol. Not as pretty as yours!
These toasts are SO beautiful! Cannot wait to make these. Version 3 is calling my name!
Where are the bananas?!
Yay, thanks! I can't wait to make them. 🙂
My wife is so gonna love me for making her these bowls, she has been asking me to make her more quinoa, as she loves it too, but seems to forget about it? oh well, these bowls sounds delicious, specially those zucchini mint falafel
Absolutely love how colourful this looks. And it sounds amazing!
Omg, these are a work of genius art and I love your photos!
These are so pretty! I haven't used dragon fruit much (hard to find in the middle of nowhere…) but it sounds wonderful and is so gorgeous!
This was so soothing on a cold, winter evening!
Oh my! This looks absolutely amazing! So easy to make too and full of all good things.
These sandwiches look amazing! I am so excited to try the O'Doughs Everything Bagel! I haven't found a good GF bagel yet, and I am pretty sure this is "the one"!
I'm having a hard time finding tahini. Do you have a suggestion for where to buy and which brands are the best?
Looks AMAZING! I cannot wait to try this! Question: for the pumpkin cashew cream it says 1 1/2 cashews, just want to verify that is actually just 1 1/2 cashews and not 1 1/2 cups possibly? I will be making this for my extended family that are not vegans so I want to make sure everything turns out perfect! Can't wait to make this!
The rainbow carrots are so beautiful! I can't wait until we have them here more in the summertime. I also just read through your photography course. Great tips for food photography!:)
Carrots and pomegranate – never tried this, but it seems like an interesting and clever combination! And I love tahini and yogurt sauce, it is great for dipping and snacking 🙂
I think all vegetables can be delicious if only prepared properly, and you've definitely proved my point with these delicious carrots! 🙂
OMG! this sounds so good! and your images are truly stunning, your right – the tri-colored carrots do look amazing on images. I do love carrots 🙂 but that yogurt sauce…..now that is impressive
Hello! I'd like to make these tonight. When/how do you use the teff flour? Thanks!
These look so delicious Gina! Anything with guacamole and I'm in!
Wow, this really looks epic! I love using coconut bacon on both sweet and savoury dishes. It gives such a great flavour!
These sound SO good, Gina! I love all of the unusual flavors and textures going on here! I need that pink oozy sauce in my life, for sure. I keep meaning to try falafel burgers and you have officially inspired me! Can't wait to try <3
This looks OH SO DELICIOUS and your photography is stunning! I can't wait to try some of the recipes!
Aww they look so yummy! I'm craving them even though I can't stomach food right now haha so grateful for our friendship too lovely! <3
Is the amount of flour 2/3 cup or 1& 2/3 cup?
I would never have thought about having sweet potato with my breakfast, but these bowls look so damn good! Will have to try it out sometime.
Never seen anything like this. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow what an incredible looking cake!! (:
I've never had a ginger spice cake, I need to make it for the next party we attend! YUM!!
Ah this ginger spice cake looks absolutely divine! Those colors are gorgeous.
Oh my goodness! This cake is pure bliss. The color of the frosting is to die for! And the addition of vegan ricotta in the cake… oh my word! Making this one ASAP!!!
Well aren't these just the best thing to happen to a potato in a long time!? I love how you piped the hummus on top instead of slapping it on, cause I'm a bum and totally would've taken the lazy route haha.
I made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious. I used kale, asparagus, edamame, brussels sprouts, and fennel which was AWESOME because I don't feel like I get to use fennel all too much. I was nervous because the sauce was a little soupy as first but I realized I had the heat too low. As soon as I increased it and kept stirring it went in to a better consistency. I have made a good amount of Healthy Little Vittles recipes and they are always so good. Thanks for them!
Gina, I found this recipe through Food Gawker and I was instantly attracted by your amazing photography. It really makes your food shine and look absolutely scrumptious! Unfortunately, when I read the ingredients, I did not have artichokes, avocado or vegan parm on hand hahaha! However, I was super inspired to create my own version of these lovely boats. Here is the recipe I created: https://www.muriellebanackissa.com/blog/loaded-sweet-potatoes-with-baked-chickpeas-and-herb-drizzle
I did bookmark your recipe for the future! P.S. Loving your food photography tips guide from other bloggers and photographers. It has been of great help! Thanks a lot.
Hi Gina! For this recipe I don't see the mushrooms listed under the ingredients? How much do I need? Thanks!!
Happy blogiversary, Gina! I'm so so happy to have connected through this space and can't wait to see where your blog adventure continues to take you. I think you did a gorgeous job baking this cake! It looks delicious and the decoration is so playful 🙂 xx
Made these for dinner today, this was my first time making any sort of veggie burgers and they were sooo good! Love the flavor the liquid smoke gave them (I only used a 1/4 tsp and the flavor was still quite strong) I also baked them instead of frying them, 350 for 25 minutes and they turned out fantastic! Thank you for such an amazing recipe.
These bowls look so good Gina! Love the addition of pineapple to a savoury bowl!
Wow, these look stunning! Definitely want to try them out. 🙂
You mentioned you're not much of a baker but this cake is gorgeous! The colours are perfect. Happy blogiversary!
Ohhh this is so exciting! Is there a part of this recipe that would be considered the base recipe? So I could make different flavors other than lavender blueberry? Thanks so much for al your hard work!
These might just be the most precious little things I've ever seen. Incredible photos and these look delicious!
In LOVE with this recipe!
The "nice" cream recipe sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it over the weekend with this heat wave coming! I love myself a great mixture of fruit and chocolate!
Oh man I bought matcha powder a month ago with plans to make all kinds of fun things but promptly forgot about it, I literally cannot remember where I put it! I must find it and make this.
very tasty these ice cream look
Your style is very unique compared to other
people I have read stuff from. Many thanks for posting when you've got the
opportunity, Guess I'll just bookmark this site.
Love this recipe.. looks delicious!
This cake is so perfect!! Where did you find those gorgeous sprinkles?!
What you typed made a lot of sense. But, think on this, suppose you added
a little content? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how
to run your blog, but what if you added something that makes people want more?
I mean Orange Chocolate Silver Dollar Pancakes | Healthy Little Vittles is kinda boring.
You should glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create
post headlines to grab viewers to open the links.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people interested about what you've written. In my opinion, it
could make your website a little bit more interesting.
These look amazing and i love that they are made with healthier ingredients
These look so bright and refreshing!!! I love your shots and styling 🙂 I'm glad I found you!

Tommy Mac & 'Rough Cut'
As 'Rough Cut' begins season two, we discover the host's career path to television success.
By Glen D. Huey
Pages: 40-43
From the November issue #193
Buy this issue now
I'm a firm believer that every person has a talent; everyone is great at something. To find that something and make it your life's work is how you stand out from others. And that leads to success – be it money, fame or happiness.
Step one of that discovery is to recognize what your life's calling is when it passes in front of you, and to be able to see yourself in that position. With that, you need the discipline to stay on course while rising above naysayers, and you have to take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way. Of course, it also helps to have a little luck.
Thomas MacDonald, host of "Rough Cut: Woodworking with Tommy Mac" – the newest woodworking show from WGBH, Boston's public television station – perfectly fits this description. He's a "go-getter" woodworker who found his calling as he progressed through the woodworking program at North Bennet Street School (NBSS) in Boston.
As he did so, Tommy accepted advice that led him in the right direction, he was aggressive enough to make things happen as he took advantage of opportunities, and he had the discipline to stay the course – even when others doubted his ability. He had a bit of luck, too.
At the Beginning
If you've read anything about Tommy, you surely have read that he was injured while working construction on Boston's massive "Big Dig" project. But the real story of his path to hosting an Emmy-nominated woodworking show, which opens its second season in October 2011, begins much later.
Tommy reached a settlement for his construction misfortune then began renovating a house near his parent's home. He soon discovered that wasn't his calling, so he continued his search – but he knew he wanted to stay in construction, or to work with wood in some way. As his funds dwindled, Tommy turned to NBSS. "I went to North Bennet out of desperation," he said. That turned out to be a great decision.
Once at North Bennet, things began to take shape. On a walk through of the school, Tommy, a personable fellow, struck up a conversation with an older gentleman – Jock Gifford. You may not know the name Jock Gifford, but you probably know his work. Gifford is, said Tommy, a gifted artisan. He is a furniture maker, an accomplished jewelry artist and, to most woodworkers, he's best-known as the architect of Norm Abram's old digs at "The New Yankee Workshop" and for his numerous appearances on "This Old House" (shows that are both produced by WGBH). During their time at NBSS, Gifford and Tommy became friends.
False Start
As Tommy advanced through the NBSS program, he made regular trips to a jobs posting board at the school to find woodworking opportunities for pay. He completed some repairs for a couple who then asked about commissioned work. The clients wanted a nice highboy built for their home. Tommy met his clients at a museum, walked with them to discuss different pieces on display, then worked out the details for the commissioned piece.
Needless to say, Tommy was pumped. Back at NBSS, he was walking on air; he could now call himself a professional furniture maker. But a couple weeks later, a call came to cancel the commission. His clients backed out of the deal. Though it was a blow, Tommy pushed on and stayed focused on woodworking.
Then the school's instructors came to him with a challenge. They handed Tommy a photograph and suggested that he set his sights beyond a highboy and build a Salem block-front secretary – they wanted Tommy to move beyond his comfort zone.

You can have the best coders in the world working in your teams, but if your project management isnat up to scratch, your project is almost certain to be delayed, to come in over budget, and in some cases to fail entirely. By taking precise control of your application development process, you can make changes, both large and small, throughout your projectas life cycle that will lead to betteraquality finished products that are consistently delivered on time and within budget. Application lifecycle management (ALM) is an area of rapidly growing interest within the development community. Because its techniques allow you to deal with the process of developing applications across many areas of responsibility and across many different disciplines, its effects on your project can be wide ranging and pronounced. It is a project management tool that has practical implications for the whole teamafrom architects to designers, from developers to testers. This book focuses on the most powerful ALM tool available for the Microsoft .NET Framework: Visual Studio Team System (VSTS). It demonstrates the key concepts and techniques of ALM and illustrates how they can be achieved using the tools VSTS provides in a clear succinct style. After reading the book, you will understand how VSTS can be used to generate continuous meaningful reporting on your projectas health for the decision makers on your team as well as for your projectas sponsors. What youall learn What ALM is and what it can do for you How to achieve traceability in your projects How to improve your development process Why VSTS is so much more than just a version control tool What the importance of welladesigned and welladefined processes is and how to implement these things Who this book is for This book will be of value for anyone developing applications with Visual Studio Team System whether they are working in a small team of just a few people or in a large enterprise environment.Web tests are, among other things, used to test how our web applications perform under a heavy load so we can determine whether we have chosen the right scalability ... In some cases, we need a user to perform the test and decide whether the test was successfulain other words, a manual test. ... We can create our own test cases by using a Microsoft Word document as a template (see Figure 7-11).

Two years ago, Eagles fans had dreams of luring Larry Fitzgerald away from the Cardinals and teaming him up with Donovan McNabb.
Those were the days when every wide receiver rumor involved the Birds, regardles of how unrealistic each one seemed.
Now, a similar scenario is playing out, except in reverse.
Fitzgerald joined WIP's Howard Eskin last week and was asked if McNabb would be playing for the Cardinals next season.
"I doubt it very seriously," Fitzgerald said. "... How do you turn a quarterback away that's taken you to the promise land every single year? I mean he's been in the league 11 years, eight playoff appearances. Name me another quarterback that's done that, besides Peyton Manning."
But if McNabb were on the market, would Fitzgerald consider going to Cardinals management and urging them to make a run at him?
After some laughter, he responded, "Donovan's an amazing quarterback, one that anybody would love to play with, but I think Matt's [Leinart] ready to take the reins and lead us."
Asked one more time if he'd lobby for McNabb, Fitzgerald laughed again before saying, "I don't think Andy Reid wants to lose McNabb."
He tried not to ruffle any feathers, but Fitzgerald certainly did not sound like he'd be upset if the Cardinals entertained the thought of acquiring McNabb.
Meanwhile, another radio clip you have to listen to. Former Redskin, Giant and Penn State Nittany Lion LaVar Arrington delivered a tremendous radio rant in response to comments made by his ex-teammate, Clinton Portis.
If you have some time today, definitely give it a listen. Just another chapter in the PSU-Miami rivalry, I guess. JoePa would be proud with this one.

I've been a Sidewalk Dave fan for a while now, and have already written about him in posts here and here. Today, I interviewed Dave on the phone. We talked about a wide range of topics from the inspiration of bee mating for his new record, to his recent shift in musical approach from folk to rock, to the importance of the great Miya's Sushi in his life, and his new experimental side project, Sasquatch Fucker.
Click through to read the interview
JB: Let me start out with the "Honey Bee" video, which I just watched and thought was a cool concept. I was wondering actually, have you seen something called Green Porno?
SD: Green what?
JB: Green porno.
SD: You mean like pornography?
JB: Yeah.
SD: No.
JB: OK. Well I recommend you check it out because I think it's sort of similar to the concept you had for that video. Do you know who Isabella Rossellini is?
SD: No.
JB: She's an actress and she's a pretty bizarre person. And she makes these videos where she dresses up as different animals—a lot of them are insects. And shows how they mate. (laughs) And she has one for bees which is really fantastic.
SD: Ah I wish I knew that.
JB: Yeah yeah so what happens in the video. The man bee mates with the woman bee and he loses his penis. The penis gets stuck in the woman bee. So she becomes the new queen. And then he bleeds to death. So would you say that that idea had anything to do with that song?
SD: Yeah that had everything to do with it. I was reading the Biology of the Honey Bee, a book, while I was traveling. I was reading through it and I was in the middle when I was about to start recording Hard On Romance. So I went to the section about mating and I read all that. And it's the most fucked up mating process I've ever heard. (laughs). These bees, their only purpose is to mate with the queen and when they do they get killed and all their friends do the same thing and actually it's like a big orgy.
JB: Yeah. And they also fight with each other and some of them die.
SD: Yeah totally. I was just thinking about Romeo and Juliette being one of the most tragic love stories and then I was like, that's not fucking tragic (laughs). I like to go with extremes and that seems pretty extreme for me. That helped form the whole album. You're totally right. "When I cum I bleed" [lyric from his song "Honey Bee"]. All that stuff.
JB: So I've been looking at your website and I saw you put in a couple articles about Ty Segall and Tame Impala, who I think both released fantastic albums this year—in Ty Segall's case three really good albums. And both of them I think are on the forefront of this movement of going back to the basics, making old school garage psych albums that sort of sound like they were released 40 years ago. So would you consider yourself to be a part of that movement at all?
SD: I had the idea for the sound of the record last year. I was already demo-ing stuff that way. I've always been trying to keep lo fi and get hi fi as well. High fidelity lo fi recordings…There's a difference between that and the other way around, you know? I didn't think about any scene but when those albums came out I was really pumped because they're in the vein of types of sounds I look for in the music that I make. It was just cool to feel not alone. Not that it's that far out there. I knew that I was trying to get away from folk, which is something that Ty Segall has also seemed to do. Goodbye Bread had more acoustic guitar. It was rockin' too, but it was lo-fi folky.
JB: Do you think that you've abandoned folk music for good, or do you think you might eventually go back to that?
SD: I haven't burned my acoustic guitar or anything. I'm definitely not interested in it really right now. I think it's more likely I'll get further away from it than go back to it. But I think those songs are good. Those songs are always in me. I just don't know of a new way to do it right now. Until I find a new and exciting way to make folk songs again I don't really want to go back to my roots just for the sake of nostalgia.
JB: It seems like there have been a lot of changes in your life recently. Not only did you switch styles pretty drastically but you moved from New Haven to Brooklyn. I was just wondering what that's been like? Do you foresee staying in Brooklyn for a while or ever coming back to New Haven?
SD: I'm in New Haven still a lot. I still work at Miya's and my record label is in New London. So I still feel very connected to New Haven and Connecticut. But it's a big scene in New York and there's a lot of exciting stuff going on. I don't think you can check that out quickly, you know? I've been coming to New York and falling in love with New York for years and I kind of always knew I'd end up here. But in New Haven, the scene is so promising and so potent for how small the population is. So I'm lucky in that way. I feel like society breeds you to go through phases. Ever since you're a kid, you're 4 years old and then you go to preschool and then four years later you're in another school and four years later you're in another school, and you do your undergrad and that takes four years. And then, since I graduated in 2008 or 9, it's been at least four years with this band, and it was just time for a change.
JB: From your website's bio, you say that you traveled around a lot when you were a teenager. So what were some of the better and worse experiences you had when you were doing that?
SD: I lived in Iowa when I was four to eight years old. All the memories from that time in my life are really beautiful. I lived in a trailer park. And then we made money and we built this big house and it was really contrast-y. I moved to Switzerland. All of a sudden my world changed. My memories are really vivid. It was a lot of adventures and staying out until sunset and then riding bikes down long roads with fields. That was one of my better memories. And then living in North Carolina was pretty awful. In contrast, it's a really beautiful place. We lived in the mountains. But we were poor and I was picked on and the people were not that nice where we were.
JB: And what brought you to New Haven originally?
SD: I got a swimming scholarship to Southern Connecticut State University. It was the only school I got into and it was only because of swimming. My grades were really bad for the first two years. At that point I was already living on my own. My mom moved to Kansas when I was 16. I didn't have anywhere else to go. I just figured I may as well live on some school loans and live in a dormitory for free basically. Well, not free. I had to pay it back. I knew about The Space. I knew the owner of The Space somehow through my mother.
JB: And then how did you start working at Miya's?
SD: Our guitar player, who you saw play with us in New York, he worked there, and our drummer got in a motorcycle accident. So I couldn't work for like a month and then I didn't have money and I was living at the rehearsal space. And then our guitar player, who was already playing with us a little bit, said that he could get me a job there because he worked there. They saved my life. They really treat you like family.
JB: That's my favorite restaurant in the world. I love that place. Do you think you'll try to keep working there for a while, or do you eventually want to make your whole living off music? Do you think that's feasible?
SD: I want to spend as much time playing and working on that stuff as I can. So I want to work as little as possible or not at all. It used to be a goal of mine to live off music, but I don't know if I'm interested in spending my time trying to make that happen. I'd rather just spend my time trying to have the time. So right now Miya's takes good care of me and I don't have anything in New York that's coming up right now that will allow me to be as flexible with my schedule as I am with them and make as much money quickly. I'm not actively trying to stop working at Miya's. But, I don't know if in a year I might want to stop commuting.
JB: So I saw on Facebook, you recently debuted a side project called Sasquatch Fucker. (laughs)
SD: Yeah, Sasquatch Fucker is kind of this art installment…a very crass art installment band. It's just me and this guy I work with at Miya's.
JB: Dave Corsack.
SD: Yep. So every once in a while, usually when he's fighting with his girlfriend or breaking up with her, he all of a sudden has time, and then we go to his storage space rehearsal cube and we play blistering, loud music about really, really crass and tasteless things. And we speak in Southern accents and we have stage personas. But that was the first time we did it live and it was really spur of the moment and half the people really, really hated it. And half the people really, really loved it. So, I think that was a success.
JB: Yeah, you always want to have strong feelings as opposed to indifference.
SD: Right right. Because even the people who hate it are talking about it. They're like, Sidewalk Dave is totally making a fool of himself or a fool of us or not taking it seriously anymore. At least they're talking about it.
JB: You recently donated a song to a benefit compilation for Hurricane Sandy. I just wanted to know what your experience with the storm was, and how it affected people you knew in New York or elsewhere.
SD: A lot of the people I know personally weren't in any sort of emergency state, and for me it was like a windy night. I didn't know how bad it was until the next day when it was on the news. And then to better understand the effect it had, I went and volunteered in Rockaway in Queens that was hit really, really bad, and those people are still homeless and still screwed up, and I'm trying to go once a week if I can, even though I haven't been in the city, to go and volunteer. It's worse than people think in a lot of ways. So I was really excited and jumped at the chance to be on the compilation, and I hope it does well. I don't know about the Red Cross, though. I don't know how much help they were at the beginning. They might be doing better stuff now. But that's where the money's going. I don't know if I agree with that completely, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

By Michael Yudell
President Obama's speech and executive orders were an important step forward to address gun violence. The president affirmed both his support for the Second Amendment and his commitment to quickly reduce gun violence in the wake of the national tragedies in Newtown, Aurora, Oak Creek, and Tucson.
As we've written here before, gun violence is a public health problem, and the president's proposal — ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, improve mental health services, close background check loopholes, and make schools safer — treats it as such.
Any changes to gun laws, including banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines, will have to be taken up by the legislative branch, and the president promised on Wednesday to push Congress to do just that. It will be a hard road ahead to pass such legislation, but hopefully our elected officials pay attention to the national mood on gun safety matters.
According to a poll out this week from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, that mood has dramatically shifted to support basic gun safety measures: 85% of those polled support "background checks for private and gun show sales," 67% support a "federal database to track gun sales," and a majority support bans on semi-automatic and assault style weapons, as well as a ban on high-capacity ammunition clips.
Using the power of the executive branch, Obama on Wednesday also issued 23 Executive Orders as steps towards reducing gun violence, including allowing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "to research the causes and prevention of gun violence," to "provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations," to "clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes," and to "launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health."
These measures are a first step in the right direction.
As the president said Wednesday, "in the month since 20 precious children and six brave adults were violently taken from us at Sandy Hook Elementary, more than 900 of our fellow Americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun."
Now we wait for Congress to act. But every day we wait more Americans will die. "The number will keep growing," Obama said. Well aware of the political hurdles that lie ahead, the president reminded us "the only way we can change is if the American people demand it."
So let's demand it. Now.

DENVER (AP) — In a state darkened by the shadow of nightmarish mass shootings, a pair of Colorado lawmakers who voted in favor of new firearms restrictions are fighting to keep their jobs.
Senate President John Morse in Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron in Pueblo face recall elections Tuesday in a battle that has attracted major players from around the nation, reflecting the sustained intensity over the issue of gun rights.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has contributed $350,000 in support of the lawmakers. Recall backers, meanwhile, have raised nearly a half million dollars, most of which has come from the National Rifle Association.
The contributions have raised the stakes in a fight over a pair of seats in the state Senate that don't even stand to tip the balance of power in the Democrat-led chamber.
"Colorado has become one of those swing states, a critical swing state, so the symbolism is really perfect," said Joshua Spivak, who tracks recall elections nationwide at the Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform at Wagner College in New York.
The elections will gauge how voters have reacted to the gun restrictions Colorado Democrats passed this year, most notably new 15-round limits on ammunition magazines and universal background check requirements. The measures were a response to mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. — and in Colorado, the Columbine High School shootings are never far from mind when gun rights are discussed.
The political tests come in a battleground state that has increasingly voted Democrat, and they are happening in districts that are emblematic of Colorado's nature. Morse was re-elected in 2010 by just a few hundred votes in an area not entirely friendly to Democrats. Giron's district, albeit favorable to Democrats, includes strong support from both parties for the right to bear arms provided by the Second Amendment.
Colorado residents have pushed for recalls of local elected officials before, but their frustrations have never reached the state Capitol until now.
Challenging Morse in Colorado Springs is former Councilman Bernie Herpin, and in Pueblo, former police officer George Rivera is challenging Giron.
The money from Bloomberg, an advocate for stricter gun laws with his group Mayor's Against Illegal Guns, is formidable compared to any single contribution that recall backers have publicly disclosed. In all, Morse and Giron's supporters have raised about $2.5 million, including Bloomberg's contribution and $250,000 from billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad.
And while recall backers have been mum about their spending, Democrats think the amount is formidable, noting that some of their opponents are nonprofits that don't have to disclose their contributions.
President Barack Obama's administration lobbied Colorado lawmakers during debates on the gun bills this year, and he used the state as an example while pressing Congress for new restrictions on firearms in the spring.
A few weeks ago, the father of a Columbine shooting victim sent an email letter through the president's "Organizing for Action" account, decrying Congress' rejection of new gun laws.
"These tragedies keep happening, and so far, Congress has failed to take common-sense action to stop them," said Tom Mauser, whose son, Daniel, was among the students killed in 1999.
Despite the powerful lobby supporting firearm restrictions, Second Amendment advocates believe that momentum is on their side. They note that this is the first time Colorado lawmakers have ever faced a recall election and say they are part of a motivated voting bloc, ready to punish lawmakers who advanced gun-control measures.
"They were so appalled by their actions that they decided to organize a recall election and express their displeasure that way," said Andrew Arulanandam, a spokesman for the NRA, which has contributed about $361,700 to support the recalls. "This is democracy playing out in an orderly manner, and we are proud to be a part of that effort and representing the interests of our members in these legislative districts."
Victor Head, a 29-year-old plumber who organized the recall effort against Giron, said he and his friends were so enraged by what they saw at the state Capitol that they came to the simple conclusion: "No more sitting on the couch and shaking our fist at the TV."
While Head said the original goal was accountability, the significance of the elections is not lost on him that this is a referendum on how far lawmakers can go in passing stronger gun laws. Outside of the liberal-friendly confines of the East Coast, Colorado is the only state to pass gun restrictions in reaction to recent mass shootings.
"Colorado is a test case. I think everybody can admit that," Head said.

A Professor, a Sage, and a Guru walked into a bar. Brian the Bartender, greeted them: "What'll it be, boys?"
The Professor said, "We need some help, Brian, settling an argument."
"No problema," Brian the Bartender said. "I've got an answer for everything."
"Well," the Professor said, "I think ESL's not going to happen in our lifetime, but the Guru here says it's just around the corner now that he and his have finally got all the pieces of the flow in place."
Brian the Bartender laughed, "Yeah, the Guru's been saying that since the dawn of mankind!"

In Europe dendrochronological research of wood from the cultural heritage and sub-fossil tree trunks found in situ has resulted in large amounts of absolutely dated tree-ring series. These series contain unique information about former chronology, social economy, the historical landscape and its uses, climate and wood technology. Many of these data are stored locally in non-standard legacy digital formats. This not only hampers their usability for research, but also severely threatens their durability.
The DCCD-project seeks to improve this situation within the Low Countries and beyond.

The first woman to lead the U.S. Army's drill sergeant training is taking legal action against her employers, citing sexism and racism. Command Sgt. Maj. Teresa King, alleges that she was unlawfully suspended last November, and filed a legal complaint with the Army, Monday (April 30).
King made headlines back in 2009 for becoming the first woman the head the Drill Sergeant School in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. According to her lawyer, James Smith, King became the victim of discrimination at the hands of Maj. Gen. Richard Longo, and Command Sgt. Maj. John Calpena— both of whom led and investigation which commenced with disciplinary action. "It's abundantly clear that there was nothing to warrant her removal. The Army should reinstate her and restore her honorable name," Smith told The Associated Press.
While his client refused to release a statement on the pending suit, according to Smith, the Army is attempting to strong-arm her into early retirement. Unfortunately, the discrepancy puts King in the company of other high-ranking individuals who have spoken out against racial profiling in the work place. Earlier this month two NYPD officials became the subject of a federal discrimination lawsuit for racist practices, while in March an off-duty police officer was racially profiled and attacked for wearing a hoodie.

Post subject: Graflex Series C Press Model with Beam Focus
I recently purchased a Graflex Series C and I posted some info about it in a previous post. I just received the camera and it is more interesting than I expected. It is indeed original Graflex and not modified post production. Here is what I've discovered about it. Go to Ebay item# 330347172539 to see some pictures of this camera. Serial # is 159104 stamped on the underside of the of the narrower section of the two piece top door. It has the Graflex shutter speed plate that says Graflex Series C on the underside of the same door where the serial # is located. The focus hood has pop up stereo magnifying glasses for easy focusing, never seen this on a Graflex other than on a Stereo Graflex. Here's the cool part. With top door open there's a shelf with a metal plate that has a threaded hole, which I presume holds a flash unit that has batteries in it. Under the plate there are two size C batteries. These batteries power a beam for focusing that is created by a light bulb that is placed in a hole in the center of the ground glass that has two wires attached to it. When lever attached to the auxiliary hardware is depressed to touch the shutter release lever, the light goes on and bounces against the reflex mirror in the down position, casting a beam against the subject. It is possible to focus this light bulb on the subject in the dark without looking into the focusing hood. I can only surmise that this camera was made as a low light press like camera. The flash unit could be placed on the camera with the top door open or closed. The front hood has an auxiliary flange attached to it, also made by Cooke that permits the lens to be mounted to the front of the hood with the hood closed, I can imagine only for closer focus or portraits.This flange also has a ring that screws into it to hold teh lens cap in place. The clip to keep the front door closed is on the bottom of the front standard and not the bottom of the camera as in all other Graflex SLRs. On the underside of the narrower section of the top door there is a contact that touches the shelf that transfers signal of teh flash to the camera with the top door closed. There is a flash sync device on the top shutter winding mechanism and this winder has a knob like a Press Graflex and not the usual wing style winder. I think this covers it. I can try to post some pictures or email some pictures to anyone interested. I would love to hear from any one who knows anything about this camera. I've never seen another like it. Thanks, Geoff

Serial number 159104 is #104 of 300 Series C 3 1/4 X 4 1/4 slated to be built starting 10-12-1927.
If you go back and read all the old posts you'll find that:
Graflex did not keep very good records or make them accessiable.
Graflex would custom make any camera upon request.
You have an example of the later.
The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU.

Hello, Thanks for the info. Yes, I'm aware that Graflex made special orders but this camera is different as it has special hardware made specifically for it that I've not seen on any other Graflexes. I don't like to use the term Prototype but this camera looks Prototypical. Best, Geoff

China touch panel makers' shipments to the handset, tablet and notebook segments dropped 19.9%, 13.5% and 44.7% respectively in the first quarter of 2014, according to Digitimes Research's latest quarterly data report.
The drop was mainly due to shipment slowdowns that generally take place in the first quarter of each year coupled with holiday seasons and worker shortage.
Thin-film type touch panels are expected to make up 77.5% of the makers' shipments as of second-quarter 2014 as China handset vendors put in increased orders for the technology to meet entry-level and mid-range smartphone demand in China during 2014, Digitimes Research estimates in its latest quarterly data report on China's touch panel industry.
The demand will push China-based O-Film's handset touch panel shipments to around 35 million units in the second quarter as a result, added Digitimes Research.
Digitimes Research also expects the makers' shipments of 11-inch and below size touch panels for use in tablet products to increase 7.9% in the second quarter due to increased demand from Samsung Electronics, Lenovo and various white-box vendors.

Skip to comments.Live blog: Zimmerman protesters clash with LAPD
Posted on 07/15/2013 9:57:11 PM PDT by Nachum
Times reporter Ruben Vives is reporting live in South Los Angeles, where protesters are taking to the streets around Crenshaw and Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards to oppose the not-guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin.
Earlier, dozens of protesters gathered in Leimert Park for a vigil in support of Martin. Following the vigil, marchers moved along Crenshaw Boulevard chanting "No justice, No Peace."
Police estimated that 80 to 150 people began engaging in lawless activity along Crenshaw as they jumped on top of vehicles and appeared to assault bystanders.
Some protesters stormed a Wal-Mart as guards scrambled to close security gates. A short while later, Los Angeles Police Department officers wearing helmets and carrying batons swarmed the store as others marched through the parking lot.
The LAPD declared a tactical alert about 9 p.m., which means that off-duty officers can be held on duty when their shifts end and may respond only to high-priority calls.
The LAPD arrested at least one person but vowed to take more into custody if the lawless actions continued.
Zimmerman, 29, was acquitted Saturday in Florida of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
We got a live thread going on here:
Maybe they'll get some feedback.
Today I officially start vacation. This trial date was set for maximum carnage, knowing Zimmerman would walk free. This is how democrats do politics.
They've played the same record over and over so many times people are just sick and tired of hearing the same old same old just to loot and pillage.
The news anchors keep saying "groups of people"? What do these people look like? Who are they? Do some actual reporting you politically correct wimps.
The ONE place this won't play is LA.
They continue to smart after the Rodney King riots.
May 1 Soy Illegale be damned they will not let any crap happen.
whether its "kids" or "teenagers" and we all "know" how teenagers can be....heck, some of those yutes look the size of football players....then again , Little 12 yro Martin was a football player too...
And the government will rebuild for them and force national retailers to return, just like in the aftermath of the LA riots of 1992(?).
Really mad about this - You'd think that once the trial is over they would accept the verdict.
Seems to be not so in this awful racist world (all controlled by the left it seems). Have given up on justice these days as it seems to be more dependent upon who you control and who is the a leftist rather than right or wrong. Sure hope that this is just because of our current justice system and not a permanent fixture. Time will tell but am not hopeful.
Just look at the Senate and Congress, all losers and hopeless crooks. Ah but at least 20% of the public think that they are decent and honest folks...heh, stupid is the kind word.
these journalists all ought to be ashamed of themselves, trying to make a story just the same as they killed Diana
Set up some tables and start a 'Job Fair.' They'll hie it home in a hurry.
wasn't much of a riot, clearing out now. After all, these people have to get up early for work tomorrow /s
To chilly for a decent riot? Gots to be HOT and sweaty.
The Democratic party: the party of looting, pillaging, plundering, negroes. Sign up today kids!
if they behave violently they're no longer "protestors" they're rioters.
Doesn't go their way, they Riot.
Doesn't go our way, we financially support the Appeal of the injustice foisted upon an innocent Man, even if he was an Obama supporter.
We are Civil, they are Feral.
I heard local Fox news LA say that the protesters are the "same race as Trayvon." They'll never ever ever say that the rioters are black — same thing during Rodney King riots in 1992.
most of the photos show mostly middle aged white protesters, with a few token blacks. The one in Time Square, which is on the front page of the local (Manila) paper shows over half are definitly paler of skin than Zimmerman...
These "demonstrations" were organized by Obama's folks (e.g. "move on" etc). This is political, not racial, protest. My liberal friend has all the hate stuff on facebook, by the same groups that post hate stuff about Republicans, religious believers, pro life people, etc. It's almost as if she has to have Orwell's "One Minute Hate" every day, and I'm thinking of not checking facebook from now on.
If the blacks were demonstrating, they'd be really causing trouble in the hood, not demonstrating in city center where the tv cameras are.
The police allowing VANDALS to commandeer major streets and intersections for OVER 2 HOURS is a "clash with police"? LOL!

Police make arrests in Portsmouth Market Basket robbery
Julia Marie Konchek
Kyle J. Roy
PORTSMOUTH - Police said they have arrested a man and woman in connection with Tuesday's strong-arm robbery at the Market Basket store on Woodbury Avenue.
Police said Julia Marie Konchek, 21, of 37 Hanover St., Apt. 2, and Kyle J. Roy, 25, of Gardner, Mass., were the people responsible for the robbery. Police said Konchek grabbed the purse and got into a struggle with the purse's owner.
After the purse's contents spilled, Roy allegedly grabbed the victim's wallet from the purse and he and Konchek fled the grocery store.
Konchek and Roy were each charged with robbery and are scheduled to be arraigned today in Portsmouth District Court.

The Walrus Says
General Order No. 11; May 5, 1868 "The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit."
On Monday, Jamestown residents and organizations led by military veterans moving to the beat of the Jamestown Community Band will march down Narragansett Avenue fulfilling General Order No.11.
The official birthplace of Memorial Day, known then as Decoration Day, was Waterloo, New York. It originated the observation following the Civil War on May 5, 1866, and held it each year thereafter. After speaking at a cemetery in Carbondale, Illinois, two years later, General John A. Logan, Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans' organization, issued General Order No. 11 proclaiming that Decoration Day be observed nationwide.
Following World War I, observances also began to honor those who had died in all of America's wars. The alternative name, 'Memorial Day' was first used in 1882. It did not become more common until after World War II and was not declared the official name by Federal law until 1967. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated the last Monday in May.
Proudly fly your flag and applaud the marchers on Monday. The parade steps off at 10 a.m.
That day will mark the 63rd Memorial Day trip down Narragansett Avenue for 94-year-old islander Jim West. His first parade was in 1946 when he returned home after serving with the Army Engineers inWWII.
Sweet personality, full of rascality, that's "Peggy O'Neil" say Barbara-Ann Mac Intosh and Bob Kinder.
In answer to Peter C. Pemantell's query, Don Barry, John Wright and Dick Rembijas agree on the location of the old grain store. Dick said it was at 9 Howland Ave., the present home of Page's Pampered Pets. John added that a Mr. Simon was the owner of the grain store.
Peter asks, where was John Brazil's Shoe Store? Can you tell him what kind of shop was next to it and who owned and ran that shop? "It's pretty hard to stump Linda Albaugh! Just give me time, I'll stump her yet. The big question is, can she stump me?"
Debra Vierra Murphy, Joey G and Marlene Murphy replied that Solo's sidekick was Illya Kuryakin played by David MacCallum. Joey and Marlene said that David now performs autopsies on NCIS.
The Boy Scouts of Troop 1 served dinners to 350 people Saturday night at the Troop's annual Pasta Supper at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church. The diners consumed 76 pounds of pasta and 55 pounds of meatballs. The dessert table was to die for. Amongst the supper goers was 4 1/2-month-old Kate Lindley who was charming everyone and enjoying all the excitement.
It takes a lot of busy hands to put on a 2 hour-long supper. The members of Troop 1 showed Saturday they were well prepared for the task. Assignments included: kitchen setup, Kyle Wright and Nathanial Hopkins; room setup, Brian Volpe, Jimmy Perry and Mike Brendlinger; dessert table setup, Sal Morenzi and Josh Nolan; host/leaders, Danny Bailey, Hayden Maclean and Tom Munro; kitchen staff, Cameron Toppa, Nathanial Hopkins, Dylan Walsh, Ben Normand and Eric Archibald; dessert leaders, Sal Morenzi and Josh Nolan; waiter leaders, Jimmy Perry and Mike Brendlinger; waiters, Ian Archibald, Mason Kelly, John Waddington, Finn Dwyer, Josh Masterson, Caellum Kerr, Vaughn Nelson-Lee, Zach Neronha, Chris Waterman, Truman Christie, Milo DiGasper, Ryan Geib, Owen Baertlein and Mike Pratt.

Seventy-five years ago this week, on July 2, 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the Democratic nomination for president and pledged "a new deal for the American people." He promised public works, agricultural price supports, new mortgage markets, working-hours legislation, securities regulation, freer world trade, reforestation, and repeal of Prohibition. Congress passed laws for all these goals and added, in his first term alone, watershed management, legalization of labor unions, deposit insurance and a stronger Federal Reserve Board, and Social Security. All these remain: We live in the nation the New Deal made.
As Roosevelt pointed out, the New Deal wasn't so new. He claimed inspiration from the progressivism of Woodrow Wilson, under whose administration Congress created the Federal Reserve System, lowered tariffs, and tried to legalize unions. Republicans supporting him cited Roosevelt's cousin-uncle Theodore, under whose administration Congress began to regulate corporate accounting and passed truth-in-advertising and pure-food laws. Farm supporters of the New Deal drew on the decades-old tradition of populism, which opposed the gold standard and demanded that government assist rural residents as much as it assisted railroad corporations. What was new in 1932 was a basket case economy with 23 percent unemployment, offering the possibility of getting these American traditions together to fuel a national majority coalition—which is what the New Deal did.
Despite its deep American roots and its popularity across class, regional, religious, racial, ethnic, and to a degree even party lines, the New Deal never lacked critics. They came mainly from the corporate boardrooms and the white-shoe law firms. They could not deny the New Deal's popularity, so they challenged its Americanness. They claimed, as the attorney Frederick Wood did in 1935, that Roosevelt aimed at "some form of national socialism—whether Soviet, Fascist, or Nazi." Some duPont executives, annoyed that the New Deal was raising wage rates for black workers, created the American Liberty League for "encouraging people to get rich" instead of supporting Roosevelt. They made the 1936 election a referendum on the New Deal.
Roosevelt won this referendum by a record majority. He appealed most to the poor—pollsters found Roosevelt garnered 76 percent of the lower-income vote. But he won more than 60 percent of middle-income votes, and even 42 percent of upper-income votes.
If the New Deal survived that test, so did the white-shoe critiques. Today, Grover Norquist complains the New Deal was "un-American." And like-minded Amity Shlaes says in the Wall Street Journal that she wants "[t]o write sympathetically about the Liberty Leaguers." Which she does, in her new book, The Forgotten Man. Despite its subtitle, it's less "a new history of the Great Depression" than what Shlaes says it is: a resurrection of the duPont critique of the New Deal, circa 1935. The New Deal was un-American, she argues, and bad for business.
The New Deal did bear some relation to European welfare states, but it was an uneasy one. Consider Social Security, which would have been simpler had the Democrats written a European-style law, using general funds to support retirees. Instead, out of an American conviction that we "mustn't have a dole," Roosevelt insisted on a contributory scheme which has required repeated tweaks. Shlaes never makes a clear argument about New Dealers' relationship to European politics, center or left. She writes first that "the problem of the New Dealers on the left was not their relationship with Moscow or the Communist Party in the United States, if indeed they had one," but then gives a chapter to discussions of various leftish reformers' interest in the Soviet Union, without showing that this significantly affected New Deal policy.
As for being bad for business: The greatest knock on the New Deal is it did not end the Great Depression. The war did that. Open the authoritative reference work Historical Statistics of the United States and you will find that the unemployment rate did not return to its 1929 level until 1943.
But if the New Deal did not end the Great Depression, was it doing some good? Historical Statistics of the United States says yes: Except in the 1937-38 recession, unemployment fell every year of the New Deal. Also, real GDP grew at an annual rate of around 9 percent during Roosevelt's first term and, after the 1937-38 dip, around 11 percent.
So on the numbers, the U.S. economy improved briskly during the New Deal. Things that are moving quickly and in the right direction, but still haven't reached their destination after a while, are things that have a long way to go—which is true of the U.S. economy recovering from 1932. Historians disagree on which part of the New Deal most encouraged economic growth, but at the least the New Deal did not prevent this recovery.
Shlaes makes a different argument about numbers, because she uses different numbers. She starts each chapter with a rat-a-tat of just-the-facts, but instead of GDP, which represents the overall economy, she quotes the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which represents the maybe 10 percent of Americans who owned stock. And though she quotes an unemployment number, she doesn't quote the figures I've just mentioned. Instead she chooses different estimates of unemployment that (she acknowledges) show a much larger share of Americans out of work during the New Deal.
If you want to know how the New Deal treated ordinary Americans, this choice really matters. Let's look at a figure Shlaes gives twice in her book and again in her Wall Street Journal editorial: She has unemployment at 20 percent in the 1937-38 recession. That's appalling—almost as bad as 23 percent in 1932. Based on such a statistic, you could think the New Deal wasn't alleviating the Great Depression. But that number hides something: A third of the people Shlaes counts as unemployed had a job that the New Deal gave them through its relief programs.
Now, you may say, wait: Those people really shouldn't count as employed—we're not interested in government make-work, we're interested in the real economy. Fair enough—and if you look again at Historical Statistics of the United States, you'll see another measure of unemployment—private, nonfarm unemployment—measuring the real, industrial economy. And on that measure, unemployment again runs markedly lower under Roosevelt than under Hoover. John Maynard Keynes might have explained that the New Deal wasn't just offering make-work, it was stimulating the economy—and Shlaes in fact at one point says the same: "[I]t functioned as Keynes ... hoped it would." Yet of all the possible ways to measure unemployment, Shlaes chooses the only way that hides the effect of New Deal relief programs and makes it look as though the economy performed as poorly under Roosevelt as under Hoover.
Roosevelt did make mistakes, the National Recovery Administration—which let industry cartels set noncompetitive, price-raising codes—chief among them. Roosevelt admitted NRA was "pretty wrong," and historians generally agree. But the NRA lasted less than two years and did not typify the New Deal, which mostly protected Americans' rights to strike bargains for themselves in a marketplace it left largely intact. Laws like these—for example, the Wagner Act protecting the right to unionize—kept the state small, as Sen. Robert Wagner explained: "[W]e intend to rely upon democratic self-help by industry and labor instead of courting the pitfalls of an arbitrary or totalitarian state." That was Roosevelt's legacy.
Shlaes prefers Calvin Coolidge, whom she calls a "minimalist president." This might surprise Coolidge, who declared, "The nature of man requires sovereignty. Government must govern. To obey is life. To disobey is death." Coolidge backed an increase of federal power to restrict immigration, and under him the federal payroll grew by 40,000 employees (after shrinking under Warren Harding).
But for Shlaes, as for the Liberty Leaguers, government isn't big unless it restricts big business; then big government is bad. She makes this point plainly: "[T]o force business to go on spending when it did not want to was to hurt business," she says of wage-raising policies. Yes, and to force labor to go on starving when it did not want to was to hurt labor. Sometimes government, as Coolidge said, must govern, which means balancing one interest against another. Roosevelt made this homely insight the hallmark of his administration. And it's why the American people kept him in office and why so much of his New Deal remains.

My blog life is slipping. I think I got a hang of this warm weather thing and have relaxed some. I'm able to sit here and do shit like this instead of jumping on my bike and heading down to the beach.
Last Tuesday I went and checked out the very first Sketch Third Tuesdays down there at 111 Minna. Every month will be a new group of artists. This round featured Brad K. Alder, Paz de la Calzada, Chela Fielding, Rene Fressola, Alexis Mackenzie, Kottie Paloma, Ferris Plock, and Kelly Tunstall... You can buy some work fresh from the paint brush. Ms. Kelly Tunstall had an army of dudes around her waiting for her to finish a piece so they could snatch it up.
Some Ferris Plock and some Porous Walker
I loved these, but right now I'm spaced and cant remember who did them. Anyone know? She gave me a flier for her website but I can't find that thing in the mess that's my "office".
Kelly Tunstall
Jay Howell on the wheels of steel.
Mr Ferris Plock
Isaac was there.
Issac and Porous
Maria, Kelly, and Ferris
Thanks, Porous. I cherish it.
and then followed Mr. Howell and others to Pops.
We were having more fun than she make it seem here.
Andreas and Jay
Vannesa and Meagan
Ran into Jonathan and David from the Woodward Flats days.
no checks at the Peacock lounge
Got an email from Ryan who's in this band called Music For Animals to let me know he added me to the guest list. Sweet. Close and free.
They were pretty good, but I couldn't stop looking at this girl's hair.
Richard and Breezy
Then Andrew showed up and the dance party started... So much dance dance this weekend.
Aaaaaa, they pour large shots of whiskey at the Peacock that make you dance when they turn the lights on.
This is where things start getting blurry... ended up in the park much too late.
nice butt, Ashley
Sorry, Jessie. We stole your wine.
No, not again! Hello Saturday morning... Worked all day then went to check out Yikes, The Mall and such at El Rio. Clicky.
Like an idiot I went out again on Sunday to Yuko's B-Day party... Or I should say that I stayed too long at the party... Check out the sweet rings I got Yuko. She's really big into raving.
Everything started out fine.
watching The Sopranos
Go outside. Take a photo of Franklin's new ear ring.
Still on course.
Even though there were moments of hysterics earlier, we're good.
and then maybe around here I took a few drags off the weed. If you know me, you know I don't smoke weed and when I have... well, it effects me pretty good.
and then spin the bottle started
Some of my best filmmaking.
Mind you a lot of people had done the Bay to the Breakers thing all morning and afternoon, so really it was just half time during the Sopranos. A little whiskey would kick start things.
I feel ya
Crash and burn
That looks not good
This is probably the safest photo from the no shirt dance party fun fun.
And as much as it may seem at the time, the smack me as hard as you can game never ends well.
Back to work. Softball Sunday next Sunday. I don't think the rain works well for us.
Hey, New York people, does Kyle still look like this?

MOSCOW, Russia --A player in the Kazakhstani ice hockey league has died, several days after a violent hit to the head during a playoff game.
Dmitri Uchaykin, a Russian forward for the Ertis Pavlodar club, was 32. His club announced the death on its website, but did not give further details.
Uchaykin took a hard hit from Arystan forward Donatas Kumeliuskas during their semifinal Wednesday, but Russia's Sovetsky Sport newspaper said the player left the ice on his own and went home after the game. It said he then lost consciousness the next day and was rushed to a local hospital, where he died of a stroke early Sunday.
Uchaykin had spent most of his career with Russian club Amur.

Hopsters Brew & Boards in Newton opened in September 2013 as a combination bar-restaurant-brew your own beer on premises location.
It was a novel idea � grab a beer, watch the game, eat some food and brew a seven gallon batch of beer � but I hadn�t had a chance to go there until this past Saturday.
Hopsters has finally gotten a brewing license, allowing them to brew and sell its own beer on premise, as well as to off-site accounts.
"Since we opened Hopsters doors, it has thrived as a unique destination for the community to educate themselves on craft beer in an enjoyable and relaxed environment," said owner Lee Cooper, of Hopkinton, in a release. "The new brewing license further enhances our customer experience, allowing us now to sample and serve an array of Hopsters� innovative, experimental batches of custom craft beer brewed on site, which is what Hopsters is all about."
Now that Hopsters is able to offer its own beers on draft, I decided to make the trip out on Saturday and check it out for myself.
Located at 292 Centre St., Newton, Hopsters has the advantage of being close to both a metered municipal parking lot, as well as a parking garage, so parking is a lot easier than a lot of locations in Natick.
Inside, Hopsters does not have a huge seating area - there are�a few tables, as well as bar seating next to the windows and at the actual bar. The lack of seating is for a reason, though � a portion of the restaurant is set aside for people who are there to brew beer in the brew your own portion of the business. So, while you�re enjoying a beer of your own, or some food, you can watch people brew and enjoy the aromas wafting from the brewing ingredients.
Hopsters had several of its own beers on tap � the House Saison, House Hefeweizen, Red Bear Ale, West Coast IPA, Down Boy Stout and an imperial IPA, as well as a nitro (instead of carbon dioxide) keg of the West Coast IPA.
To try as many as possible, I ordered a flight � four four-ounce glasses of the house beers. They were all decent to quite good � the House Saison was probably the best of the lot � it had a nice spiciness that would really go well with a lot of foods. The West Coast IPA was also a winner. I did not have a chance to try to red ale or the stout.
If there was one negative, it was the fact that none of the Hopsters beers were under 6 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). However, unlike most brewpubs, Hopsters offers several guest taps (more than a dozen) of beers from other breweries, so you can always find a lower alcohol option on that list.
The list is well thought out � it includes mainly New England beers, including beers from Jack�s Abby Brewing of Framingham, Night Shift and Idle Hands of Everett, Mayflower of Plymouth and Rising Tide of Portland, Maine.
Growlers of all of the house beers are available, so if you fall in love with a beer, you can bring it home with you.
Food wise, the menu is small, but well thought out. It includes Ploughman�s Boards that include pickles (the first pickles I have ever liked), jams, mustard, crusty bread and a selection of three meats from New England Charcuterie of Waltham. There are also artisanal cheese boards.
Other menu items include flatbreads, sandwiches and small plates such as soft pretzels and hummus & pita. I had a Ploughman�s Board and was satisfied with the meal, while my friend game the sausage and cheese flatbread a thumbs up.
Hopsters is definitely a great addition to the Massachusetts brewing scene. I can�t wait to see how their beers develop and to head back there again for a few more meats and cheeses and pints.

No worries
Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: No mistakes, no worriesBY DAVE D'ONOFRIO
Special to The New Hampshire Union Leader
October 09. 2013 9:50PM
IF YOU were holding on to some lingering doubts, and the first 97 wins weren't enough to convince you that the Red Sox are the team to beat this season — even though those victories let them party as champions of the American League's most competitive division, then enjoy the privileges accompanying the AL's best regular-season record — it may be time to let go of those reservations.
Instead, embrace a reality that became almost indisputably apparent over the past week, en route to triumphs 98, 99 and 100.
Just ask Joe Maddon, the manager whose Rays were the victims of those victories, and thus eliminated by Boston, 3-1, in the American League Division Series that was clinched by the same count in Tuesday's Game 4.
"They were really good," Maddon said. "They didn't make any mistakes. You could see their grit. I talked about from spring training on, I think they've really promoted the character within that group, and they're just gamers, they've got a bunch of gamers over there.
"They're just good, man. They're good," he continued. "They're the reason we're sitting here not winning right now. They beat us all season. They beat us in a five-game series. I should take this moment to say I want to give them a lot of credit, (Manager) John (Farrell) and the entire Red Sox organization (for) what they've done this year. Based on the difficulties they faced last year. Obviously they made some wonderful decisions and they deserve to advance."
If you were worried that the Sox' baseball-best offense would have trouble against good pitching in the postseason, they dismissed those concerns by scoring as many runs as any club through its first four games of these playoffs. Despite going up against the elite arms of Matt Moore and David Price, they posted 26 runs over four games, while leading American League contenders with a .286 average, a .390 on-base percentage, and an .803 on-base plus slugging.
If you were worried that the Sox didn't have a top-of-the-rotation starter to match up with an opposing ace, Jon Lester authored a performance that should allay some of those fears, allowing Tampa Bay just three singles and a walk before he took the mound in the eighth inning of Game 1.
If you were worried that the Sox seemed to lack reliable setup men at the back of the bullpen, Junichi Tazawa offered four outings that could restore the club's early season confidence in him, while Craig Breslow confirmed his status as Boston's second-best reliever. Together they combined for six innings of scoreless relief, striking out six while yielding just a walk and three hits.
If you were worried about Koji Uehara's spotty postseason track record, and concerned his ridiculously good regular season might not carry over, you can relax now. Yes, he allowed a walkoff homer to Jose Lobaton in Game 3. But that was a good piece of hitting on a pretty good pitch. And of the nine hitters Uehara faced in the series, Lobaton was the only one who reached base. Four of them struck out.
So if you were worried for whatever reason that the Sox might not have the pitching it takes to win in October, know that they entered Wednesday with the lowest earned run average of any team in the division series — a product of consistently excellent game plans that consistently neutralized threats like Evan Longoria, Ben Zobrist and Wil Myers, and spoke to the club's ability to exploit advantages with preparation and attention to detail.
If you were worried those advantages wouldn't carry the Sox as far in the postseason, when the chance to play for a championship tends to make everybody more purposeful and passionate and intense, let Boston's clean, crisp, in-control style of play stand as proof that's still a strength — even in comparison to a team with a reputed manager and revered for fending off three straight elimination games before Tuesday.
"There's accountability, and 25 guys who prioritize winning baseball games, beyond any kind of individual achievement or accolade," Breslow said. "The resiliency is a word that continues to come up. (Monday) was a tough loss in a good, well-played baseball game, and we came out (Tuesday), we grinded through at-bats, we came back from a one-run deficit — and that's been the trend all season."
If you were worried about the depth throughout the roster, consider that it was Xander Bogaerts, the 21-year-old rookie, who started the critical Game 4 rally with a patient walk; it was Jake Peavy, the fourth starter, who pitched well enough to keep the team in the game to that point; and they scored 6.5 runs per game despite the No. 3, 5 and 6 spots in the order combining to go 9-for-44 (.205) around David Ortiz.
If you were worried that the Sox don't have too many home-run hitters capable of changing the game with one swing, take comfort in that last fact. The Dodgers had eight more hits, including five more homers, en route to beating the Braves in the NLDS — but Boston and Los Angeles still scored the same number of runs, in part because the Sox have all season found other ways to be productive.
"Talk about executing and doing the little things, and doing whatever it takes to win," Shane Victorino said, "and we were able to do it."
If you were worried about Farrell in his first trip to the playoffs as a manager, and particularly concerned about his ability to adjust and adapt to circumstances concerning affecting strategy, Game 4 should be a relief. After some questionable decisions a night before, he pulled all the right strings in the clincher — from knowing precisely when to pull Peavy, to expertly using his bullpen, to avoiding the traps of stubbornness by pinch-hitting Bogaerts for Stephen Drew (after not doing it a night earlier).
If you were worried about the Red Sox, they showed that you shouldn't have been. In retrospect, the series probably should've been a sweep. It'll be more difficult in the AL Championship Series, because the Tigers and A's are both better than the Rays. But, then again, neither of them is the team to beat. With 100 wins to prove it, that's the Red Sox.
So, Red Sox fans, heed the words Bob Marley will be singing as Victorino digs into the batter's box Saturday, and the crowd sings along as "Three Little Birds" blares throughout Fenway.Don't worry about a thing.

PARIS (AP) — French President Francois Hollande ordered members of his Cabinet to publicly disclose their finances within days and asked lawmakers to do the same, saying Wednesday the country needed to learn from its mistakes after the budget minister was revealed as a tax-dodger with secret offshore bank accounts.
Some requirements around the world — and how they're met:
In a country uncomfortable with flagrant wealth or open discussions about money, only the president currently has to publicly list his assets. The new rules require Cabinet members to disclose their assets and their value.
The rules will ultimately apply to all national lawmakers and Cabinet members, as well as former presidents who are automatically on France's Constitutional Council, which rules on the constitutionality of laws. One ex-president on the council, Jacques Chirac, was convicted of corruption. Another, Nicolas Sarkozy, faces allegations that he took envelopes stuffed with cash for campaign funding.
Hollande's plan came after Jerome Cahuzac, the former budget minister, was forced to resign after an investigative journalism site uncovered evidence that he had secret accounts in Switzerland and Singapore. Some officials are releasing their financial details already in response; others are unenthusiastic about an idea they say is being imposed without debate.
"I know how much the French want a change in this sad succession of affairs that sullies the image of the country and of our political life," Hollande said.
France and Slovenia are the only two European countries that do not make lawmakers' financial disclosures public, according to Transparency International.
American disclosure rules cover just about everyone in high office, including members of Congress and senior staff, candidates for federal office and members of the Cabinet, and Supreme Court justices. Since 1978 they have been required to disclose their personal finances annually. In addition, since last year they are required to report any stock trades, to avoid conflicts of interest. The information is readily available online, but the disclosure forms require only ranges; the higher the amount, the broader the range.
Republican Mitt Romney, one of the wealthiest candidates ever to seek the presidency, was accused of manipulating his tax deductions to keep his overall 2011 rate artificially high. Overall, the Romneys' tax return and other forms for blind trusts totaled more than 800 pages. He made $13.6 million in 2011.
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama reported almost $790,000 in adjusted gross income in 2011.
High-ranking officials are required to report assets in internal reports, but there's no public declaration system and corruption is rampant, a sore spot for a public that has become cynical about the Communist Party's political monopoly. The leadership installed last November has taken largely symbolic measures, including imposing limits on expensive dining at the public's expense and an end to the official motorcades people find obnoxious. The wealthy province of Guangdong will test an asset disclosure program in one county and an urban district this year but the disclosures are not expected to be public. Much corruption has been committed by family members of officials, and it isn't clear that asset disclosure requirements being discussed will touch them.
The most spectacular purge in recent years has been that of Bo Xilai, the telegenic son of a veteran of the revolution who ran the city of Chongqing. Bo has yet to be put on trial but was expelled from the Communist Party in September and accused of taking massive bribes. With no independent investigation, Chinese believe he was ousted more for his ambition than for corruption.
Members of Parliament, including ministers, are required to publicly report their income from gifts and work outside Parliament but not the value of all their financial interests and assets. Ministers also must disclose any other involvements, including charities, which might conflict with their responsibilities.
Russian officials have three months to shed their overseas bank accounts or stocks under a new measure introduced by President Vladimir Putin, but some analysts have said some Russian officials would still be able to keep money in accounts that are tied to offshore companies or under the names of proxies — a common practice in tax havens. Russia's former Central Bank chief estimated that about $49 billion, which is equivalent to 2.5 percent of Russia's gross domestic product, was wired to foreign accounts illegally last year.
Rulers across the oil-rich Gulf Arab states have no obligations to publicly disclose personal wealth or other holdings such as businesses or investments, including many assets abroad in Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere. Some hints of their vast assets come from their travels — the UAE's president, Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nayhan, owns an estate in the Seychelles and the Saudi royalty has palaces in Morocco — but a full accounting is impossible.
The Forbes magazine list of billionaires released last month includes only a few from Gulf ruling families, including none from hyper-rich Qatar, where rulers never publicly disclose personal information such as wealth.
