Since I made a couple batches last weekend, thought I'd share my recipe. These can be time consuming, so it's worth it to make a couple batches of dough and different fillings.
4c Flour, all purpose
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1c warm water (you may need a bit more depending on the moisture content of the flour
1 egg whisked, room temp
Add all dry ingredients to a stand mixer, turn on low speed, then add egg mixing for about 15 seconds to incorporate, then slowly add water. Add as much as needed so dough comes together and pulls away from side of bowl. The dough should be a little sticky. Use dough hook attachment and knead for 5-7 mins. Remove hook and cover bowl with plastic wrap and set inside fridge for 30mins to 2 hours.
Beef and Mushroom Filling
1lb ground beef
1 large carrot finely grated
1 large onion finely grated
1lb assorted mushrooms, cleaned and finely chopped (I used a food processor and pulsed them about 6-8 times to a fine chop)
1/2 tsp fresh thyme (1/4 if using dried)
1 tbsp butter
salt & pepper to taste
Brown beef in skillet. When about halfway done add the onion/carrots and continue sauteing. Season to taste when beef is completely cooked. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
In a saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Drop heat to low, add mushrooms and thyme and saute over low heat for about 35-40 minutes. You want to slowly cook out any moisture in the mushrooms but not looking to brown very much. It should take on a paste like consistency. Season to taste. Transfer to bowl with beef filling and mix thoroughly. Will fill about 24-30 pierogi depending on size.
Potato and Cheese filling
1.5 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 chunks
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2-3 tbsp butter
1/4 milk
2-3 bacon slices, browned and crumbled (optional)
salt & pepper to taste
Put potatoes in small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until knife stuck into the center comes out without any resistance, about 8-10mins. Drain and add to a bowl. While hot, add butter and mash. Add milk and mix until you have basically mashed potatoes. You want a stiff consistency. Mix in cheese and bacon (if using) and adjust seasonings. Set aside to cool. Makes enough filling for about 24 pierogi depending upon size.
Remove dough from fridge and cut into quarters. Place 3 of the quarters back in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Roll out remaining quarter on a well floured surface to a thickness of 1/8in. Use something about 4inches in diameter to cut as many circles out of the rolled out dough. I used a plastic container, but anything like a small can or round pastry cutter would work. Fill each circle, just off center, with about 1 heaping tsp of your filling of choice. Fold each circle in half to make a half moon shape. Using the tines of a fork, crimp the edges together to seal. Dip the tines in extra bench flour to stop from sticking to the dough. Repeat process with each remaining quarter of dough. The scraps can be reformed into a new ball and rolled out one more time. After that, the dough will become too tough. Each batch of dough makes approx 24-30 pierogi depending on size.
Gently drop pierogi into a pot of boiling water. Once the pierogi float to the top, continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes to cook dough all of the way through. When finished cooking, remove from water and set on sheet pan to cool. At this point, you can eat them straight out of the water or fry up with some butter and onions and top with a dollop of sour cream.
Traditionally in our family, the beef and mushroom fillings were left separate. I just combined them as they taste good together. Also, have fun experimenting with different ingredients for the fillings. For my potato/cheese filing I used Zingerman's Aged Vermont Cheddar and homemade guanciale (jowl bacon). My mushrooms were a mix of white button and shitake.
We're all here, because we're not all there.

Continuing from our first post, here are 10 amazing javascript demos that were made using 1k or less:
Strange Crystals
Imagine an unknown area, a dark mine with a tunnel that you can explore. This is what the Strange Crystals is all about. Developer Philippe Deschaseaux created this amazing but compact game that begins with the description that talks about the miners who are known to have stopped working. They have found some strange sparkling crystals and it seems that they are afraid of them. Your journey will begin and you are supposed to be on the lookout for these shiny crystals. Now, your job is to enter the mine and find those strange crystals and unravel their mystery. Pretty neat for a game under 1k.
1k Meteors
This is an old school under 1k game that will immediately make you feel the retro effect. We are all fascinated by asteroids and the depth of the universe. Oscar Toledo G created 1k Meteors, a game that operates at 30 frames/second. The unique thing about this game is that every instance is unique. The game is also very realistic and keeping that in mind, the creator has added no sounds because sound cannot travel in space.
Don't worry, Bee happy
This is a brightly coloured game where you will notice a bee (busy) flying all over the place in the middle of brightly coloured green grasses. There are colourful flowers, a bright blue sky, and a sun. The camera will constantly follow the bee flying in all the different directions. Manuel Rulke is the developer who came up with this unique and amazing idea. As expected, the game is under 1k but offers amazing graphics, and fun unlimited. Once again, the Closure Compiler was used to reduce the size of the game.
In part 3, well learn about 4 other demos that you must check out today.

NORTH SALEM, N.Y. – In explaining her path to becoming a New York Times best selling author, Wendy Mass told North Salem Middle School students about a couple of other dreams that didn't pan out.
"Once I realized becoming an astronaut and marrying Tom Cruise weren't too realistic, my dream was to become an author," Mass said.
Mass has certainly fulfilled that dream, as she has penned 14 novels for young people, including "A Mango-Shaped Space," "11 Birthdays," "The Candymakers," and "Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life." The latter was the school's choice for an optional summer reading project for grades six through eight. Eighth grade English teacher Karyn Johnson said approximately 75 percent of the 300 students took part in reading Jeremy Fink, along with completing a small project.
The novel tells the story of 12-year old Jeremy Fink and his best friend Lizzy Muldoun in their quest to retrieve four keys that unlock a wooden box that supposedly holds the meaning to life.
"Rarely do we get an opportunity for a cross-grade learning experience like this," Johnson said. "It's hard to find a book that's appealing and appropriate for both genders and all three grades. For the kids to get a chance to meet Wendy after most of them read her book is really neat."
Mass gave an hour presentation in her Thursday visit, which delved into her literally journey, why reading and writing is so important and a peak into her creative thought process. She also showed a laminated scroll of the many, many rejection letters she's gotten over the years from potential publishers.
"It was really neat that she showed all of the rejection letters," 7th grader Stella Ard said. "It's an inspiration to always remember to keep pushing through."
After her presentation, some students took part in two writing workshops, where Mass gave them a template to create their own characters. Many students were avid fans of Mass, and brought in copies of the books for her to sign.
"I talk to schools in grades four through eight a lot," she said. "I think it's great that they celebrate reading and books. It also gives me a chance to be around kids who are the same age as the characters in most of my books."

As I navigated through my business-oriented classes in college, professors emphasized the significance of dressing for success which often mean an expensive suit and heels.

Something else I quickly learned: no matter which way you spin it, business clothes are expensive.

Captivating Documentaries on the Internet

3 Ingredient Drinks: Sour Green Tea Refresher

Hot off the press. Senate afirm's two-year extension for Mortgage Debt Relief Act
The Senate Finance Committee voted 23-3 in favor of extending a package of business and individual tax provisions known as "tax extenders," including one that will ensure that mortgage debt that has been forgiven by a lender will be excluded from the borrower's personal income.
Under current law, taxpayers who have mortgage debt canceled or forgiven after 2014 may be required to pay taxes on that amount as taxable income. Under this provision, up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible to be excluded from income through tax year 2016. This provision was created in the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 to shield taxpayers from having to pay taxes on cancelled mortgage debt stemming from mortgage loan modifications through 2010. It was extended through 2013 by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The extension would be through 2016. A two-year extension of this provision is estimated to cost $5.122 billion over 10 years.
Also included in the package taken up by the Finance Committee was a mortgage insurance provision that would treat mortgage insurance premiums the same as interest, allowing a borrower to deduct the cost of the premiums from income taxes. This extension would also be through 2016.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
Nick and I are your MASSACHUSETTS SHORT SALE NEGOTIATION CLOSERS! Call us today to find out more about a SHORT SALE OPTION for underwater homeowners. If the bank is knocking, we want to speak to you.
Nick Aalerud and Maryann Little
So what does that mean? In most short sales we work on in Massachusetts, we are working directly with the servicer of the loan. Servicers usually have delegated authority for an investor, and sometimes you can never find the investor. I have a short sale I'm working on in the Cape, in which the servicer has a very high value. Anyone in this business knows when a value is high, that pretty much dooms your sale, unless you can show the servicer why that property will not fetch that amount, e.g. a value dispute.
We did the value dispute on this property and it came back at the same amount we were quoted, so we knew something was wrong. They SENT us their reconciled value and low and behold, it was the amount the buyer was offering, so something is even more wrong. After MULTIPLE left messages for the Director of Loss Mitigation at Specialized Loan Servicing, and faxes, we felt we had to direct to the investor of the loan:
Good Morning James,
I'm writing today regarding the above property located in Massachusetts, which is a default property serviced by SLS.
Your company is listed as the investor on this loan, and before you tell me SLS has delegated authority, I just want to understand how a value reconciliation done on this property by SLS showing the value of $225,000, is denied and countered at an unrealistic value of $270,000. I have tried calling in several times to show them this error, and were are being told this is the number the investor wants.
This number will seal the homeowner's fate to foreclosure, which he has been trying to avoid for some time now.
I am unsure what to do as I notified Darren Bronaugh several times via fax and email and still have yet to hear back. I also reached out and left voice mails for Christophoer Chavez (SLS loss mitigation supervisor) and emails, none of which were returned.
I would imagine that investors have some threshold for the authorization of a short sale. I can imagine if a property value came back at $400,000 and the offer was $300,000 it may make more financial sense to send that property to foreclosure, but I'm trying to understand how a property value of $225,000 with an offer of $225,000 is being denied and countered as too low.
I don't often reach to an investor directly as there is no need because we can usually work smoothly with a servicer, but considering no one in management has addressed this issue even though I have reached out multiple times, I wanted to go to the investor.
Please let me know what I can do to help or assist and if there is anything that can be done on this property. Thank you.

Today I'm patiently waiting for someone from SLS to respond, however am losing hope on this sale. Poor valuations PLAGUE the short sale market and unfortunately there is no oversight to this. How does the investor truly KNOW they will get more for the property if they foreclose? They are basing their decision on a valuation. Anyways, say a prayer for this homeowner as we patiently wait out and see what happens. I was told the investor was reaching to SLS and would ask SLS to respond to us.

Yes. Started the day with a HUGE complaint to the CFPB over a valuation from a company called MCS Valuations, that we believe tampered with one of our short sale valuations. My poor homeowner has been through enough. I'm going to advocate this one all the way up to a director at the CFPB if I have too. I'm thinking of putting a complaint into the Treasury too as the loan is Freddie backed….although I love my Freddie gang, this is blatant tampering by the valuations company and no one wants to actually LOOK at what happened. They all just say, "well that's the value I see on the screen" – NUMBERS ARE INPUTTED WRONG all the time, and many homeowners lose their homes over it. Sorry, I'm not standing for this. My poor lady lost her husband on Christmas day!!!! http://shortsalemitigation.myproptrackr.com/
We are called quite frequently by Massachusetts Real Estate Investors looking to buy a short sale we may have listed, and asking what the best way to get them the property is. There is no magic ball for an investor to buy a short sale, but there certainly are things that will help the process when writing your offer. You want to make sure you are prepared with the following, when buying a short sale:
1) If you are an LLC, INC,. Trust or some other entity other than an individual, provide your "creation" documents, either articles of organization, trust docs etc. Sellers lenders will frequently request this to review information.
2) If you are using a HARD MONEY LENDER, you are NOT a CASH BUYER. If you check you are a cash buyer and your company is an LLC, the seller's lender will want to see a copy of your bank statements. When a hard money lender issues you pre-approval, that's exactly what it is, it's a letter saying you are APPROVED to buy the sale, but your offer should be written as FINANCED without a contingency. If you are using hard money, just write in that it's not contingent upon anything, like an appraisal (although I do know some hard money lenders want appraisals). The bottom line is you need a bank statement showing you can buy the property if you are a true cash buyer, so submit your offer accordingly AND your bank statement if you are a cash buyer.
3) Know your numbers. Selling banks are not going to consider a low ball number. If you are trying to buy the property for a certain price, have your back up ready. You should have repair estimates on hand, inspections, appraisals, comps, pictures of the property and any damage, and any other information pertaining to the sale that would affect the property value. Be prepared to support the value you are offering.
I was talking to an investor last week, and I told the person Zillow and Trulia were listing the property value at $110,000 and the investor's offer was in the $40,000 range. Now I know Zillow and Trulia are NOT ACCURATE, but they ARE a gauge. Once the investor told me about the chemical plant across the street and the work needed on the property, it made a lot more sense to me on WHY they were offering such a low amount. If you do plan on submitting a low offer, be prepared to bullet point out WHY certain things affect the value so that we can submit it to the sellers lender.
4) UNDERSTAND WHAT SOLD AS IS MEANS! This means the seller has no money to fix things on the property, remove snow, winterize pipes, pay past due utility bills, get smoke certs or title V, or bring money to closing. 99% of short sale homeowners, do not have excess funds. If they did, then they'd be able to pay their mortgages. Many times an investor will need to assist paying off an execution, or other non-mortgage lien on title. The seller will NOT be cleaning the property at closing and you may have to take ownership of the property subject to the tenants still being there. Many times the bank has taken possession of the property so you will have to change the locks. These are all things to consider when submitting your offer.
5) Ask if the loan is backed by Ocwen or Nationstar and if so, back away quickly. Both servicers will take your offer, not respond, and then put the property up on Hubzu or Auction.com for other investors to bid on, even though you have an executed contract. I know, I know, it stinks, but any NON-GSE loan will end there and you don't want to go through the work to lose the property to a higher bidder.
6) Just because it's a foreclosure, does not mean it's a SHORT SALE. I get one call a week from eager investors who see a property going into foreclosure and they call looking for short sale advice in Massachusetts. JUST because a property is being foreclosed upon does not mean it's a short sale. The homeowner must have NEGATIVE EQUITY. If the homeowner has equity and is being foreclosed they can just list it online and get a traditional buyer and pay their loan off, so this goes back to knowing numbers.
That's it for now, but as I think of more things, I'll let you know.
We are trying to track short sale trends in Massachusetts per county. Feel free to visit our Essex County Statistic and Middlesex County statistics for January for an overview of numbers. So far the numbers in January are not surprising. As I have stated before January is one of the slowest months of the year for negative equity properties to sell in Massachusetts. Massachusetts short sales however are still strong in numbers overall. In 2014 we had one of our highest year for short sale negotiations in Massachusetts. Much of this is due in part to lenders working through the Massachusetts red tape and finally being able to foreclose on properties that were protected under Massachusetts law. Massachusetts does an EXCELLENT job of protecting defaulting homeowners, and does make every attempt to make sure that a homeowner has the option of a workout before foreclosure.
The Suffolk County short sale SOLD numbers for Massachusetts in January are unremarkable. There was not one single family property that sold short in Suffolk county in January 2015, however there were 3 multi families and one condo that made up the Suffolk sold market. The graph below represents those numbers. The DTO on the condo was zero, so it was likely a pre arranged buyer where the DOM for the condo was 73. The DTO was 3.67 for the multi family listings – and DOM was 135 – Muti Family listings don't last long in Massachusetts. The market is strong for sellers of Multi families.
Moving on to active Massachusetts short sale listings, there is a TON of activity, and most properties are either UAG, or CTG. Boston, leads with 19 Single Family Massachusetts Short Sale Listings, 18 Condo Massachusetts short sale listings and then 13 Massachusetts multi family short sale listings. This is followed by revere that has much smaller numbers. The DOM for Suffolk County Massachusetts active single family short sale listings is 174, where DTO is 78. The DOM for Active Suffolk County Short Sale Condo Listings is 252, and DTO 94, where the DOM for Active Massachusetts Suffolk County Short Sale condo listings is 170 and the DTO is 47. Again, Massachusetts short sale Multi families don't last long.
I pulled the numbers of CTG/UAG and Actives for Active Condo listings and very few short sales do not go under contract. Out of the active short sale condo listings in January for Suffolk County Massachusetts only 6 were active out of 25. The rest were CTG or UAG.
Our firm works with underwater homeowners throughout the state. Feel free to visit our website at http://shortsalemitigation.net for more information or poke around on our blog site here to learn the MOST about short sales. Our firm has the most up to date current information on short sale guidelines and what you need to do to get your home SOLD if you are underwater. Please don't forget you do need some sort of hardship or inability to pay.
Most lenders will want you to pay a note or cash at closing if they feel you have the financial means to do this.

Thinking about Hillary.
Larry Sabato over at the Crystal Ball has a fantastic post entitled "The Hillary Dilemma." A lot of this post is sort of stating the obvious, but I think people need to hear it over and over again.
There is something about Hillary--the person, not the politician--that upsets and repels tens of millions of Americans. Fairly or not, she is seen as cold, calculating, and ruthless, an off-putting combination of characteristics.Indeed, this has led to some rather frightening polls where she is concerned.
|ABC News Poll - April 18, 2007
|Definitely would not support:
|ABC News Poll - April 18, 2007
|Definitely would not support (inds. only):
|Gallup Poll - May 24, 2007
|Favorable/unfavorable (all adults):
|53% / 45%
|55 / 20
|56 / 24
|Gallup/USA Today Poll - June 5, 2007
|Favorable/Unfavorable (all adults):
|46% / 50%
|53 / 25
|44 / 32
So, even though she is the front-runner (and pretty overwhelmingly so according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll) among the Democratic contenders, a lot of people hate her. So, if she does happen to win the Democratic nomination, this is a very bad way to start a general election campaign. As Sabato points out,
The final several percent of swing voters needed to get Hillary Clinton over the top in the general election will vote for her only with the greatest reluctance, more as a way to stop a Republican than as an endorsement of her. That is a shaky way to start a Presidency.So, if somehow the Republican tide turns and people stop hating them (or one of the candidates actually has enough guts to distance himself from the Party), Clinton's campaign is on very shaky grounds. Her campaign slogan might as well be "I'm not a Republican!" And we saw how well that worked in 2004...
And a Hillary presidency would be troubling simply from the standpoint of democracy.
How is it that the country is on the verge of filling its highest office for the sixth consecutive term from one of two families? That every President from 1989 to 2017 may be a Bush or a Clinton is a national disgrace. What has happened to the American Republic?I don't know, but I truly hope that Democratic voters are wise enough to see these issues and vote for Obama instead.

The administrative evaluation of your Arkansas disability claim
Social Security disability applications can go through four different levels of administrative adjudication. If your claim is accepted at any level, then you are done. Here are the four levels:
- The initial determination. This is performed by a disability analyst and a doctor (or sometimes a clinical psychologist) who work for the Arkansas Disability Determination for Social Security Administration. The decision is made based on the paperwork in your application and medical file. You do not get to talk to the disability analyst. Decisions from the Arkansas Disability Determination for Social Security Administration are adopted by the Social Security Administration.
- Reconsideration. Just as with the initial determination, reconsideration of initial determinations is done by the Arkansas Disability Determination for Social Security Administration. Again, you do not get to talk to the decision-maker.
- Appeal hearing to an Administrative Law Judge. The appeal hearing is your first chance to have a direct meeting with the person who makes the decision on your claim. The Administrative Law Judge works for the Social Security Administration (rather than the State of Arkansas, like the initial disability analyst) and will hear testimony about your disability.
- Review by the Appeals Council. Appeals beyond the Administrative Law Judge go to a national Appeals Council.
Let me help with your Arkansas disability claim

January 16, 2008 09:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 16, 2008) -
Coastal Contacts Inc. (TSX:COA) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with an offer to purchase for cancellation up to 7,000,000 of its common shares, at a price per share that is not less than $1.10 and not greater than $1.25, through a modified "Dutch auction" issuer bid. If the offer is fully taken up it will represent approximately 10% of Coastal's issued and outstanding shares.
The Dutch auction tender procedure allows shareholders to select a price, within the specified range, at which each shareholder is willing to sell all or a portion of the common shares he or she owns. Upon expiration of the offer, Coastal will select the lowest purchase price that will allow it to buy up to 7,000,000 shares (the "Purchase Price"). Shares tendered at or below the Purchase Price will be purchased at the Purchase Price subject to pro-ration to the extent that the aggregate number all of such common shares tendered exceeds 7,000,000 shares.
"The issuer bid reflects Coastal's continued commitment to enhancing shareholder value and provides an attractive use of capital given Coastal's business and current market valuation," stated Roger Hardy, Coastal's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with our strong cash balance allowing us to return value to our shareholders while retaining sufficient working capital to pursue the Company's growth initiatives."
The Company intends to finance the purchase from its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of approximately $27 million as of October 31, 2007.
An offer to purchase and issuer bid circular containing full details of the offer and procedures for tendering common shares is expected to be mailed to shareholders on or about January 17, 2008. The offer, which is subject to regulatory approval, will expire at 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on or about February 22, 2008, unless extended by the Company. The offer is not conditional upon any minimum number of shares being tendered, but is subject to certain other conditions which are specified in the offer to purchase and issuer bid circular.
Neither the Company nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation to shareholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their shares into the offer. Shareholders must decide how many shares they will tender, if any, and the price within the stated range at which they will offer their shares to the Company. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to review the offer to purchase and issuer bid circular and related documents carefully and consult with their financial and tax advisors prior to making any decision with respect to the offer.
Since October 2006, Coastal has, pursuant to its two previously announced normal course issuer bids, purchased for cancellation approximately 4.1 million shares at an average price of $1.06 per share. Coastal will cease purchasing common shares pursuant to its current normal course issuer bid until at least 20 business days after the expiration or termination of the offer.

With more three decades of film and television work under her belt, Molly Ringwald is readily identifiable as an actress. But what most people don't know is that she was singing and recording jazz music even before she was nominated for a Golden Globe at age 13.
Ringwald, who released her debut album "Except ... Sometimes" through Concord Records in April 2013, will share her lifelong passion for jazz with a Johnston County audience on Sept. 19. "An Evening with Molly Ringwald" is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday in the Paul A. Johnston Auditorium at Johnston Community College, 245 College Road, Smithfield. The performance is part of JCC's 2014-15 concert series.
The actress, who's also an author, was born with the jazz gene. Her father, Bob, is a jazz pianist, and Ringwald started performing with his band when she was just 3 years old. Growing up with siblings, she loved playing music with her dad because it was "their" time. She recorded an album of jazz songs with her father's band when she was 6 years old.
"I love all different kinds of music, but I feel like I really love jazz, because I grew up with it and it's very familiar to me," Ringwald said. "I like the sound of it, I find it very comforting.
"I'm the kind of person who will be inclined to stay in a restaurant that plays jazz."
It wasn't until she met jazz pianist and actor Peter Smith that she started to conceptualize an album. They met while acting in an Off Broadway production of "Modern Orthodox," and at the wrap party, they discovered they were both musicians. In 2008, while both were living in Los Angeles, they started playing music together and gradually began work on an album.
"I didn't really intend to do an album; I was just going to start playing with these musicians," Ringwald said. "We decided to do the album because I really liked what we were doing. It happened very organically."
The album is a nod to the Great American Songbook, with nine classic songs and a jazz cover of "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds. That song opens and closes the 1985 film "The Breakfast Club," which starred Ringwald.
She recorded "Except ... Sometimes" with a four-piece band, giving it a more intimate, subdued feel than a more traditional, big band-style jazz record. Picking the right songs to put on the album was hard, Ringwald said, because the band knew and had practiced so many. She ultimately picked the ones she thought sounded best, with a special emphasis on choosing some lesser known pieces from the Great American Songbook.
"I tried to pick songs that were more obscure, that are not usually heard as much as 'My Funny Valentine,' 'Stormy Weather,' what have you," Ringwald said.
She and her band, which includes Smith on piano, Clayton Cameron on drums, Allen Mezquida on alto saxophone and Trevor Ware on bass, have been touring since last year, taking just last summer off. They are performing tonight (Wednesday) in Kenan Auditorium at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington .
Ringwald and the band are thinking about a second album, which she said might be a live one. It's all very up in the air now, though. After all, she does have two other careers and three kids to tend to.
Tickets for the JCC show are $25 for adults, $22.50 for seniors, students and military and $27.50 at the door. For tickets, call the college's box office at 919-209-2099 or visit jccperformingarts.com.

On June 9, 1884, Theodore Roosevelt arrived back in North Dakota, a very different man from the one who left. In February of 1884, Roosevelt lost his wife and mother on the same day and he had been biding time, finishing up commitments in New York, before he could escape back to the Badlands, an escape he thought would be permanent as he was done with politics.
Elkhorn Ranch, Theodore Roosevelt's second ranch on the banks of the Little Missouri River in North Dakota. From the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site.
On Roosevelt's first visit to North Dakota, he had purchased the Chimney Butte, or Maltese Cross Ranch, the cabin of which can still be seen today at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Visitors' Center. It was upon his return that Roosevelt set about establishing and building a second, larger ranch, right along the banks of the Little Missouri River, a ranch he named Elkhorn.
The new ranch site was located 35 miles north of Medora, well away from the railroad line and bustle of Medora's businesses. Visiting the site at another time, Roosevelt found interlocked horns from two bull elk that had been fighting when their horns became tangled. The symbol struck Roosevelt and he named the ranch for his discovery, even designing his brand for the ranch to resemble an elk horn.
I was privileged enough to be able to visit the Elkhorn Ranch site last fall alongside many of our Symposium guests. It isn't easy to reach but well worth the effort. The site itself is part of the three units that make up Theodore Roosevelt National Park and under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. The site still sits peacefully along the Little Missouri River. However, all that is now left of the once large and prosperous ranch is the cornerstones of the house.

In the wake of the eruption of violence in Kenya, sociology professor and director of the African studies program David Wiley sat down with five local Kenyan Ph.D. students to discuss the situation. One student, hailing from an area where some of the violence has been the worst, turned to Wiley and said, "You know, the problem is that there are two big tribes in Africa: the rich and the poor."
This may be the truest statement about the continent, despite all the talk of ethnic tension and tribal violence that normally perpetuates the headlines of the major national newspapers when something bad happens in Africa. It is most often that the roots of Africa's problems arise simply because many people live on a day-to-day survival basis, and Kenya is no exception.
On the surface, the current violence in Kenya directly stems from the Dec. 27, 2007 election, which ended with Mwai Kibaki being sworn in for a second term as president. The announcement of his presidency came amidst a swirl of allegations that the election was rigged, and his opposition, Raila Odinga, refused to accept the results and interrupted the official announcement. A few days later, Kibaki began filling his Cabinet with allies, and after originally agreeing to talks, Odinga rejected the offer to meet with the president. Both sides have yet to meet.
Leading up to the election, most of Kibaki's Cabinet had been swept from power, and multitudes of Kenyans turned up to vote in the second biggest multiparty vote since Kenya gained its independence. According to Wiley, the turnout for the election may be why so many Kenyans were disgruntled when the results were revealed. "There's widespread consensus that the president's election commission mishandled and probably rigged the reporting of the results," he said. "All across Africa, people want the right to control who governs them, and after that, for it to turn out to have been rigged, there's a huge amount of anger all across the country."
This anger manifested itself in violence that has left more than 800 dead and more than 300,000 Kenyans displaced from their homes, according to the most recent reports at time of publication. Churches destroyed, roadblocks set up by violent youth gangs, fleeing Kenyans thrown into rivers – all have made for sensational headlines about a country that has long been known for its peaceful democracy, despite being surrounded by countries torn apart by civil war.
"We never felt anything. Maybe we took it for granted and it was always there, but Kenya is generally peaceful," said Betty Okwako, a native of Kenya teaching a class in teacher education. "I never would have imagined something like this would have happened."
Okwako has relatives in Kenya and knows people who are displaced, and some of her extended family members are in areas where violence is occurring. "It's really distracting," Okwako said. "When it will end, I don't know. I worry about my family and friends and everybody back home."
She has good reason to worry, according to the news headlines that have been reaching the United States. "Tribalism tears up social fabric," reads one headline. "Death toll mounts in Kenya riots," reads another. Some articles have compared the violence to that in Rwanda in 1994, and the question of a Kenyan civil war has been thrown into the ring. Like most conflicts in Africa, it all boils down to tribal violence that pits Kibaki's Kikuyu supporters against Odinga's allies, who are all decidedly not Kikuyu and instead belong to one of four other major ethnic identities. According to Wiley, however, it's not as bad as some of the articles make it seem, and tribal violence is a poor way of describing the conflict.
"The articles kind of make things seem worse in Kenya than they are. Most of the major tour operators are continuing to operate their tours in Kenya," Wiley said. "There's a normalcy the headlines don't catch." The headlines also do not seem to catch the fact that the violence is not widespread across the large country.
Zoology professor Kay Holekamp leads a summer study abroad program in Kenya and described the violence as occurring in pockets. "Right now the violence is being perpetuated by a sort of lowlife individuals, but the rest of the population, although unhappy – like Americans in the Bush/Gore election – doesn't burn down buildings for that," Holekamp said.
[logan2]There is no doubt things are suddenly worse off in Kenya, but the reasons for it are much more complex than just tribal violence or frustration at a failed election. Wiley teaches his students there are no tribes in Africa. "Tribes have a sense of the primordial identities of natives in the jungle," Wiley said. "That concept was invented by European colonists."
Instead, Wiley looks at Kenyans – and all humans from different countries – in the context of both ethnicity and language. Carolyn Logan, an assistant professor of political science, supports Wiley's view. "It's not ancient tribal hatreds. It's a much more complicated situation than that, and that's the most important thing that's really being missed in the general coverage of it," Logan said. "Kenyans have been living side by side with people of these different ethnic groups for a long time."
The current violence instead has its origins in Kenya's political history, which has often exploited ethnic identities. "It's how politicians use their power and manipulate ethnic differences that cause what's going on," said Logan.
Logan cited the Kenyan elections of 1992 and 1997, where there was evidence of politicians trying to mobilize groups around issues and displacing people from certain ethnic groups so they could not vote. However, when the 2002 elections rolled around, Logan said there was more unity in the country. Kibaki was elected for his first term as president with a large majority and public support. "When Kibaki was elected, he was received very euphorically because Kenyans were glad to be done with the Moi era," said Logan, referring to Daniel arap Moi, Kibaki's predecessor. But many were soon disappointed, she added. "After having extremely high expectations for new change, Kenyans have gotten the same old, same old from the administration."
When elected president, Kibaki promised the creation of a prime ministerial post that would go to Odinga and the reformation of the constitution. When these promises yielded no results, Kenyans fell back on their ethnic identities, according to Logan. "But ethnic identities aren't in any sense what has caused the violence. Political betrayal is what's caused the violence," Logan said. "If Kibaki had been a different ethnic group, we would still be facing many of the same things."
Along with political betrayal and corruption, the roots of the violence also include Kenya's continual struggle against poverty. Many of the people involved in the violence are from the slums of Kenya's capital, Nairobi. "The violence you see is the anger of the poor," Wiley said. "They don't have the resources that the wealthier people get."
This poverty has long been a part of the country, according to Jeanne Gazel, director of the Multi-Racial Unity Living Experience (MRULE) program at MSU. A group of her ISS students founded Family of Strength Organization (FOSO) three years ago to provide support for Kenya. "The roots of these problems (poverty, disease, education systems that aren't adequate and poor health care) are in the colonial past," Gazel said. "Those cards were dealt throughout the entire continent, and it's a struggle to come back."
And currently the Kikuyu, Kibaki's ethnic group, are dominating the wealth of the country. "Since Kibaki came to power, the Kenyan economy has done quite well on a macro scale, but too much of that is going to cronies and not trickling down to people at the bottom end of the scale," Logan said. "The people supporting Odinga rate their economic status much worse than those aligned with Kibaki." She also said it is the poor that feel they have less to lose by participating in acts of violence simply because they don't have jobs or possessions to lose.
Many of the Kenyans living along poverty's lines carried high expectations for the election, believing if their leader, Odinga, was to be elected, their lives would be different. "There's no proof that the opposition leader will make it better, but they think he will because they're coming from the perspective of have-not," Gazel said.
And in a country that has prided itself on being more democratically stable than the surrounding countries, the possibility of a rigged election gives even more incentive to turn to violence. Logan, who has participated in surveys of the country, said one of the things she's seen in the data is how much the quality of elections matter to people's perceptions of how democratic their country is. "Having an election that's so widely seen as flawed is problematic for the long-term development of democracy in the country," Logan said.
In order to restore faith in Kenyan democracy, its people need to know their votes were counted, Wiley said. The end of the violence also depends on international help, which the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and the African Union have all been eager to give. Well-respected international figures, such as the South African peace activist Desmond Tutu, also have been going to Kenya to encourage people to solve the problem peacefully. However, according to Logan, "ultimately it's got to come from the Kenyans and be a Kenyan political solution." This would mean talks between the two opposing leaders and finding some sort of compromise, an idea that makes sense to many people.
"At the end of the day, it's up to those two people," Okwako said. "People just need to step down and let the legitimate person lead who's supposed to lead."
[gazel]Before that happens, though, students in Gazel's FOSO are doing their best to raise money to send to Kenya, holding fundraising events such as a 5K walk/run. FOSO works closely with the group Kenyan Orphans Rural Development Programme (KORDP), a group that is continuing its work despite the violence. "We can't solve their political strife – just support the Kenyans in the hope that the political unrest will dissolve and democracy will flourish once again," said Randi Schaefer, a business marketing and communication senior with a specialization in women, gender and social justice.
Members from FOSO also will be traveling to Kenya in the summer to continue their work there, and as of now, the program does not seem in danger of being canceled. Neither does Holekamp's program, though she said she does worry about the university's safety committee making a premature decision. "Their fear threshold is lower than mine," Holekamp said. "I sure hope it works itself out quickly because I would hate [for] the university, in its nervousness, to cancel a course that all students love."
Gazel is pulling for the Kenyans, too. "We're going to hope that Kenyans pull it together because they're wonderful people, building communities and addressing deeply rooted problems," Gazel said. "It's not going to all go up in smoke because of this election." All eyes will remain on Kenya in anticipation, hoping they'll put out the fire, fueled by class and cultural differences, soon.
In the wake of the eruption of violence in Kenya, sociology professor and director of the African studies program David Wiley sat down with five local Kenyan Ph.D. students to discuss the situation. One student, hailing from an area where some of the violence has been the worst, turned to Wiley and said, "You know, the problem is that there are two big tribes in Africa: the rich and the poor."

Uttaranchal India > Uttarakhand » Uttaranchal Business and Economy
Past few years has seen the state of Uttarakhand emerging as one of the most attractive industrial destinations in India. Having tremendous growth potential, Uttarakhand Business and Industries sector is thriving across the state.
The Uttaranchal Industries sector mainly consists of Sugar Mills, Cloth Mills, Paper Mills, Flour and Rice Mills, Pharmaceuticals, and Stone Rolling Mills etc. The Agricultural Sector, on the other hand, consists of Dairy farms, Rice and Wheat Production, Fish Farming, Poultry Farming, Floriculture, Horticulture, and Pickle and Sauce Industries, which are flourishing in the state. But, by and large, the Tourism Industry remains as one of the major industries of the state and generates most revenue for the Uttaranchal Business and Economy.
Hotel Industry, Travel Agencies, and all hospitality related business are other subsidiaries of the tourism industry are also growing as potential Uttaranchal Industries. Besides, Handicrafts, handlooms, wool based industry, khadi and village industry, waxed based industry are other traditional industries spread across the state.
The efforts shown by the state government further supports the Uttaranchal Business and Industries to prosper in the state. Amongst the several other government initiatives, the establishment of Information Technology Park in Dehradun and the setting up of Integrated Industrial Estates in Pantnagar and Haridwar can also be counted.
The state government also ensures the adequate supply of power in the state. In the recent times, the government has set to develop several small and medium size hydro power sites in the private sector or in public-private partnership. All this has been done to ensure proper supply of power to the Uttarakhand Business and Industries and to attract new businesses to the state.
Moreover, the state government is also assisting to establish a number of small and medium size agro parks, food parks etc., to aid the agriculture and food processing industry to provide common infrastructure facilities for storage, processing, grading and marketing. This is done under the Rural Business Hub Initiative to assist the small and medium enterprises in the rural areas and to boast the Uttaranchal Business and Economy.
All these and much more efforts from the government are encouraging several big players to come and invest in Uttaranchal Industries to take Uttaranchal Business and Economy sector to greater heights.

I\'m going to make music with gigasampler and a midi-seq program. But since gigasampler doesn\'t support effects (directX pluginns), I\'ll have to record the tracks into CubaseVST so I can add effects to them there.
How will this work, if I buy Wave/824?
I know I have to record one channel at a time, but will there be problem with sync/delay working this way? Let\'s say, if I record from gs to cubase this way, one channel at a time, and end up with 24 channels of audio. Will every channel stay in synch with each other?
I\'m also thinking about the dakota/tango24 combo. (Though I don\'t need all that adat stuff, since everything is happening inside my computer - except for recording some vocals and guitars).
Will dakota work with directX pluggins in CubaseVST?
Thanks for your help. I\'m in the middle of the process of building/buying my own \"pc-studio\", so I need all the information I can get.

At the Center for Media Justice we believe that the human right to communicate, and therefore to organize and fight for a better future, should belong to everyone. Unfortunately, in the context of the big money media environment of the U.S. and the dawning of Tea Party politics following the this year's mid-term elections- the vast majority of voices are shut out of the public debates that shape the daily material conditions of their lives
Over the last month--together with MAG-Net and our beltway partners—we have ramped up our political education and grassroots action

As the December 21st vote approaches, CMJ and MAG-Net continue to push for a strengthened proposal from the FCC Chairman—and real digital justice.
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski proposed Network Neutrality rules that he claims will save the open Internet.
An open Internet means access to health care, small business development, full employment, and quality education. Rural America needs strong open Internet protections to ensure that the legacy of corporate interests do not trump those of working families and everyday Internet users.

D-Day - Morning
Today is my official due date, although only like 5 or 10% of women actually deliver on their due date. It's a bit surreal to know that all these weeks of waiting and watching the tummy get bigger are officially ending. I have la-la-loved being pregnant and enjoyed bonding with Kyle and our families. I am pleased I wrote this blog to remind me of all the fun times and how I felt as each moment arrived. In a silly twist of fate, the episode of "Sex & the City" I randomly selected to play as I write this is the episode where one of the main characters, Miranda, finally gives birth to her son.
I am not feeling any additional urges to "nest", although I am thinking that I should finish the things that don't realllllly need to get done but might as well, such as packing my bag for the hospital. It's mostly packed and since I plan to do most of my laboring at home, I figured I will have plenty of time to throw the last things into the bag, Instead, I will now be packing everything, including the iPod with playlist, speakers, walkie-talkies, video camera, digital camera & all those cords, (note to self: bring extension/expansion cord).
Tonight, we are planning to take our cars to the fire department to make sure the car seat bases are properly installed. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as many as 85 percent of all car seats are improperly installed. We are also going to see the Harry Potter movie, which should be interesting because Ace kicked me hard throughout the last movie we saw, "Up", which was super cute.
Tick-tock! xoxo

thank you!! I do intend to continue writing and including more recipes, pictures and eventually making the Cliff Notes to pregnancy.... I hope you stay tuned!ReplyDelete
This adventure is just beginning!
PS- Megan, remember how much fun we had when we met in High School through a theater troupe that went to inner city schools and performed assemblies about safe sex? Acting out the various characters with their sex-related issues was a great way to connect with the students and I remember the many girls that would hug us afterward, tears in their eyes. Good times. =)

Remember Mr. Weber? We got him last year. You can read about that adventure here.
Since then we have been putting him to work. But he was a little tired and rusty when we got him. Even with his new cover to protect him – he has seen better days.
Sunday I decided to get him out and make some dinner, I noticed the wear and tear and thought this might his last supper.
I faithfully fired him up, watched him smoke a bit and chug into action.
I put him to work on some baked potatoes and some brisket that I seared first and braised longer in a juicy foil setup.
But as we sat back and enjoyed a late summer evening dinner together, I realized that Mr. Weber is still the one for me.
This will not be his last supper.

I ate a nutrition bar today. Nevermind that the line between nutrition bar and cookie is sometimes rather thin. This bar packed a punch - 35% daily value of vitamin A, 50% of vitamin C, 100% of vitamin E, and 50% of vitamin B6. At least, that's what the label says.
How much vitamin C I actually got is less clear. While food products languish on the shelf, they lose vitamins. Vitamin C is a classic example - the molecule oxidizes in the presence of air rather quickly. The two largest influencers on the reaction rate for vitamin degradation reactions take place are temperature and water activity.
As with most other reactions, vitamin degradation increases with increasing water activity. The speed with which vitamins degrade depends on both which vitamin we're talking about, and the specifics of your product. Here's how you test your product to determine its susceptibility to vitamin degradation:
Materials: You'll need your product as close as possible to its processed form, a temperature/humidity controlled chamber, a water activity meter, and test kits for measuring vitamin concentrations.

Suning, second largest of China's top non-state-owned enterprises, has showcased its unmanned, automated 'Biu' store at CES 2018.
Suning's 'Biu' store concept is big-data driven and powered by Facial Recognition and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), bringing together the company's experience and technology applications in "O2O" retail.
Since launching its first self-service store in Nanjing in August 2017, Suning has unveiled a further four cashier-less stores in China, with new stores in Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Xuzhou, along with the inaugural store, proving a huge success with consumers, claims the company.

TechCrunch reports that Google is working in the Gaza Strip–a 6.8-mile-by-32-mile territory controlled by terrorists–to develop a local tech start-up culture in one of the world's most challenging business environments.
Serial tech entrepreneur Lauren Peate, who advises Middle East startups on business acumen, reports that a year after the most recent war with Israel; Gaza Sky Geeks (GSG) has built a business accelerator to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs.
The population of Gaza subsists on six hours a day of electricity and Internet access; has 43 percent unemployment and 60 percent youth unemployment; and is subject to rigid trade restrictions due to fears that terror groups will import material for weapons and tunnels.
Peate joined GSG, which was launched by Mercy Corps in 2011 with a Google.org grant, to conduct two workshops to mentor tech startup teams. In March she conducted "pre-incubation bootcamp" and followed up with a pre-investment bootcamp in June.
Mercy Corps' "mission is to save and improves lives in the world's toughest places." They report helping over 258 million people in 40 countries during times of poverty, conflict and disaster for the last 35 years.
Despite the presence of radical Islam, 41 percent of GSG's would-be tech entrepreneur candidates are female.
(It seems that Google, who put up the cash, might learn something from the Palestinians–since Google's workforce diversity is only 30% women.)
As a further layer of support for its female participants, TechCrunch reports, GSG also created an Intalqi (English for "Let's start!") all-female support group. These women, who include local female business owners as role models, make presentations on their own challenges in business and are available for one-on-one counseling. Peate says she has observed presentations on social-media marketing and social gardening startups.
GSG hopes to bring in international mentors from places like Silicon Valley, London, Copenhagen, Dubai and other major business communities.
Peate told TechCrunch that a few GSG initial start-ups that are already humming.

|The Kensington Review
7 June 2004
From the editor: It is obvious that pace of world events will accelerate in the next six months, and a weekly publication is too leisurely to be appropriate. Consequently, the Kensington Review will appear each Monday, Wednesday and Friday until further notice.
Latest Commentary:
Iraqi Governing Council Gets Last Laugh -- Iraq's Governing Council made fools out of both the US and the UN on its final day of existence. It chose its own president and then voted itself out of existence. It's hard to argue with an opponent that has passed on to history. Harder still to deal with what it left behind, and Iraqi regime that has some perceived legitimacy and a desire to flex its muscles.
Tenet Quits as CIA Chief -- One was beginning to wonder if anyone in the Bush administration would ever take responsibility for anything that has happened in the last three and a half years. It was a great relief to see that the one Clinton hold-over, Director of the CIA George Tenet, finally left office for "personal reasons." Perhaps, he can start a fad in Washington among those who have failed in their duties to own up to the failure and depart.
Renault Targets Emerging Markets with Logan -- While the American love affair with SUVs and other gas guzzlers seems able to survive gas at $2.50 per gallon, there are other parts of the world where $50,000 for a Lincoln Navigator seems a touch steep. French automaker Renault has targeted the emerging markets with the Logan, which it plans to sell for just Ć5,000, or US$6,100 new.
President Reagan Loses to Alzheimer's --
Ronald Wilson Reagan's body finally stopped working Saturday. To say that he died then, however, is incorrect. Alzheimer's Disease took away what made the 40th president of the United States unique many years earlier. While the media and the masses chew over their memories of him, his passing raises a bigger issue - the quality of life versus the quantity of years.

Hitman: Absolution
Nevermind my last post. Also, I am not sure if this has been mention before. I believe there's a conflict between the intuition cheat and actually using it to take out target several targets at a time. 47 just simply stands there and does not move after. I wonder if that can be fixed...
[Edited by kissmejohnjohn, 11/21/2012 8:37:20 PM]
Um kissmejohnjohn if you are using invisible it conflicts with it. I noticed this last night. But to tired to post. So just turn the visible option off and it should work when you use point shooting in instinct mode. Al look more to it later today.
Pestering is not good. Remember they can simple just stop. Be glad they bring out trainers. Then add some extra features.
what do you mean be glad? I always apprieciate their hard work, but its not like they do it for free, we paid for subscriptions, so we have some right to make requests. As long as people dont get hostile, i see nothing wrong with asking for options, besides, how will the team know what we want for the trainer, if we dont ask?
The team often make a trainer when enough people ask for it in the request thread, so its only logical that options wont be added until enough people ask for them.
Besides, im sure they are used to people pestering them for stuff over the years.
[Edited by Ashar, 11/21/2012 7:19:09 PM]
There is the request page, but that is up to the CHT. They do not have to do all the requests even if they get a whole load of requests for several. Now to paying, you paid to be able to use the trainers. That does not give the right to pester them. Plus if you have read many of the trainers threads the people that complain and constantly pester have caused many trainers to be retired. Sorry but a one off payment does not give you the right to pester them over and over of obvious options. Not that you are lucky to get the options we have due to the games security. So basically be happy with what you get and what updates can be done.
There is a difference between making a request and pestering. From what I have seen on here the people that keep pestering them about additional options are the one that get the most hostile when they say no. No, pestering shouldn't be an option.
We pay to have access to the trainers and editors Caliber and 0x90 make, that is all.
No, we don't have the right to make requests. The CH staff let us make requests because they are awesome.
Yep CHT is awesome they have always for filled my cheating side of me
