The Cheese Sandwich Chronicles #3: Cheese Sandwiches are Like Food Blogger Friends, You Can Never Have Too Many!
A fun blog I hadn't seen before, Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once made cheese crackers in solidarity with the cheese sandwich eaters. Jennifer at Weekly Dish makes no excuses for writing about the Philly CHEESE Steak sandwich she had for dinner. At Tigers and Strawberries, the always eloquent Barbara had some comments that food magazine editors should be sure to read. The Fat Free Vegan went to extra lengths for her *cheese* sandwich.
Kayak Soup had a grilled cheese which was way above average. Another out-of-the-ordinary cheese sandwich was the Panini Caprese at Dispensing Happiness. A very well-written piece on the cheese sandwich furor, quoting (with permission) a number of bloggers, appeared in Paper Palate. A Few of My Favorite Things had a photo of a cheese sandwich that I wanted to just take a bite of! Not to bore you to death Mr. Wells, but Milk and Honey reported on what she had for lunch. Stephanie at The Feast Crusade breaks new ground in the food blogging world by telling us what she had for a midnight snack.
Ok, by now I am seriously losing track, but Gourmetish now has made and shared two sandwiches, first a delicious-looking Grilled Colby Jack on Rye, and then a grilled cheese on foccacia. At Culinarily Obsessed, Jaay eats her sandwich before she has a chance to photograph it, but she still dishes up some great commentary. A fun blog called 1x umruehren bitte delivers some politically neutral cheese commentary and a great looking sandwich too; the blog is written by Zorra, who is Swiss, but living in Andulucia, Spain.
A fun find sent by my friend Alanna, an actual Cheese Sandwich Blog. The writer, Stephanie, apparently didn't know about cheese sandwich day, but I still thought this was too good not to share. Saturday morning, my sister Pam reported on our family blog that she was reading my blog and had a sudden urge to make a cheese sandwich! Cooking Vintage posted one of her favorite sandwiches from childhood, Jarlsberg on whole wheat with spinach and mustard.
Magic Tofu has been very busy all weekend with Paper Chef #15, but still managed to create a masterful sandwich at Slurp and Burp, featuring asparagus, proscuitto ham, gruyere, and a mustard flavored bechamel. Also on Saturday, Paul, who originally came up with the cheese sandwich idea, showed his version of the sandwich, Havarti and Cornish Game Hen on Rustic Sourdough. (And yes, he had it for lunch.) Jonski Blogski does a great post on Cheesy Sandwich, Grilled, then follows it up with Cheese Sandwich, Redeemed. Saltshaker joins the fun with Viva, LaCheese Sandwich, in which he reports on how he has accidentally joined the cheese sandwich movement.
ReMARKable Palate discussed Cheese Sandwich Day, along with an interview with Sephardic Cooking expert Janet Amateau, on his weekly podcast. I thought his analysis of the reaction by food bloggers was very thorough and fair. (Also, Mark, thanks for featuring Kalyn's Kitchen in the podcast!)
On Sunday the cheese sandwich posts were still going up. Elizabeth from Etherwork.net blogged about a wonderful sandwich she had eaten while traveling and written about in her travel journal. Now she plans to recreate it at home. LAist gives a nice write up of the cheese sandwich protest, which it calls Glossy Mags vs. Foodblogs. (To illustrate their point, they included Magic Tofu's happy and sad faced cheese sandwiches.) In New York City, The Hungry Rose found a restaurant specializing in cheese sandwiches and ordered one, then reminisced about the cheese sandwiches of the past. Claudia from Fool for Food sends a cheese sandwich post in German.
On Sunday, Mrs. D. at Belly-Timber posted 'Mighty Cheese Warriors: An Historical Vignette' in which she visits the 2440th anniversary of Cheese Sandwich Day in the land of Gastroblogia. Don't miss this incredible and imaginative post! All I can say is Bravo!
After the dust is starting to settle, I Was Just Really Very Hungry shares some insightful thoughts on the whole cheese sandwich saga. The Gallumphing Gourmand finds he is still thinking about cheese sandwiches and recreates a recipe from childhood. At Spittoon Extra, Andrew creates a unique sandwich with fried haloumi layered with spinach, watercress, and rocket, served in whole wheat pitta and doused with lemon rind and olive oil dressing.
Early in the next week, Ed Charles from Tomato announced a new blog event springing out of Cheese Sandwich Day : Post and EaT Everything Week End Lame Leftovers (Pete Wells). Designed to promote the recycling of leftovers, the new event is sure to help folks use leftover comments on the Blog vs. Mag topic. Paint Brush Poet published Ode to a Cheese Sammitch, the first cheese sandwich poem I've seen. Matt at Matt Bites created an amazing cheese sandwich magazine cover.
Even later in the week, food bloggers are still making cheese sandwiches. At One Whole Clove, Sarah Lou creates a fabulous looking Garlic Bread, Merguez Sausage and Cheddar Cheese Panini. Truly worth blogging about! The Web Sorceress Cooks also made some very tasty looking mini-cheese sandwiches, which she had for dinner! Cookbook 411 thanks Pete Wells and other bloggers who had photos of great cheese sandwiches for inspiring her to order the El Gaupo at the Honey Hole in Seattle.
By the following weekend, Vanessa of She Craves was forced to pay a visit to her doctor, where she was diagnosed with auto-Petewellesian Bloggorhea. The prescription was no more blogging, but Vanessa cured herself with a Grilled Brie Sandwich with Ginger Preserves.
By the following week, CBS News had picked up the story on their online site, and Magic Tofu was kind enough to alert me here.
(Edit – even years later people were hearing about the Cheese Sandwich controversy, and Wandering Chopsticks sends me a cheese sandwich post with a note that people really do care what she's having for lunch!)
(I'll be adding more whenever people let me know about them. There is no time deadline for this, cheese sandwiches taste good anytime! Please don't feel slighted if I missed you, just send an e-mail and I'll add you in.)
We will never go back.

CrockPot Tortilla Soup Recipe
Day 47.
--it's okay if you have frozen stuff. My broth, vegetables and chicken were all frozen.
--totally okay to assemble the night before.
--cook on low for 8-10 hours, or high for 6 or so.
before serving, add whatever garnish you choose.
We were out of tortilla chips, so I used a bit of parmesan and fat free sour cream.
The Verdict:
I ate this for lunch 4 days in a row. The liquid absorbed a bit, so it was more chowdery than soupy after the first day, but still amazingly good, and much healthier than taco bell for my Mexican Food Fix.

I had some tom yum grilled shrimp left over and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I had recently come across a recipe for a mango and avocado salad with a peanut dressing on Cara's Cravings that sounded amazingly good and it called for finishing the salad off with some shrimp. I really like the creamy avocado and juicy mango combo and that immediatly caught my attention with this salad. If the shrimp, mango and avocado weren't enough the salad was dressed up in a peanut and coconut dressing and I had recently tried and really liked a peanut dressing with coconut milk on the Thai green bean and crab salad . The shrimp are of course optional but if you have some already cooked shrimp on hand then this salad is a piece of cake to throw together and well worth it! The salad was nice and light and yet filling and packed with flavour. The peanut and coconut dressing was really tasty and it went well with the mango and avocado and the tasty tom yum shrimp finished the salad off perfectly.
Mango, Avocado and Grilled Shrimp Salad with a Peanut Dressing
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 lime (juice and zest)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 birds eye chili (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon palm sugar (grated or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon mint (chopped)
- 1 mango (stoned, scooped and sliced)
- 1 avocado (stoned, scooped and sliced)
- 2 handfuls salad greens
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons peanuts (roasted and chopped)
- 6 tom yum grilled shrimp (optional)
- Mix the coconut milk, lime, fish sauce, peanut butter, chili, sugar and cilantro in a bowl and set aside.
- Assemble the salad, toss with dressing to coat and serve garnished with chopped roasted peanuts.

Is Abra Safe To Invest In – Free Gold IRA Rollover Guide Inside
Is Abra Safe To Invest In
Is Abra Safe To Invest In A gold IRA or protected metals IRA is a Self-Directed IRA where the owner maintains ownership of the accounts receivable and the value of the accounts balance. The IRA owns shares in a company, also referred to as "protocol shares." It works like a standard IRA, only it holds bullion bars or coins instead of holding paper investments. The company or broker maintains the investment on behalf of the account holder and will distribute the value of this share to the account holder periodically.
The IRA allows individuals to invest in metals like gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and many others. Many investors use this option because gold IRA's offer high interest rates relative to many other traditional IRAs. This has been especially beneficial to younger individuals who cannot afford to purchase expensive gold items for their retirement accounts. For instance, if an investor wants to buy a gold item that costs $100, he may not be able to buy it at the current price if it were purchased through a gold IRA. He would have to find another way to acquire the item, which would involve a great deal of research and time.

An individual retirement account is one of several types of IRAs. This type of IRA allows you to invest in bonds, stocks, and other assets, instead of having to invest in mutual funds and other products. A good gold IRA has a lower cost of investment than a standard or Roth IRA which invests solely in bonds, stocks, and mutual funds. However, there are differences between a standard and a hedge against inflationary climate.
There are several types of IRAs that an individual can open for investing. The most common IRA types include a standard IRA, a hedge against inflation, and a gold IRA. If you want to have the most flexibility with your investments, then you should invest in a standard IRA. To learn more about these different IRAs, as well as the pros and cons, we have looked at some of the more popular options.
What You Need to Know About Gold IRA's
A standard IRA allows you to invest in funds and other products with a wide range of eligibility requirements. With these types of IRAs, you will pay both a brokerage and a management fee, depending on which company you use. There are also some IRA companies that offer the option to invest in gold iras and there may be a discount or no service charge. When you buy a gold IRA, the company will typically provide a full disclosure of their brokerage and management fees and charges.
Investing in gold IRA's provides you with tax benefits over other forms of investing in a retirement plan. The most popular form of IRA investing is the Roth IRA, which allows you to invest in any form of income, without having to pay taxes on them. In order to contribute to a Roth IRA, you need to have an employer-sponsored retirement plan. The tax benefits that you receive from the investment will depend on the type of income that you have and the tax rate that you are paying.
Another way that you can save on taxes when you buy gold IRA's is through the inclusion of your earnings and profits. By including your sales proceeds from gold bars in your retirement account, you will be able to exclude the amount that you have invested. You will need to include the amount of the sale in your income when you take the deduction, but it is important to remember that you will not be able to deduct the sales price from the sale. Although you cannot deduct the sale from your retirement account, you can include it in your other retirement plans. If you want to purchase gold bars in order to add them to your IRA, you will be able to deduct the transaction cost from the purchase.

When you invest in a gold IRA, you are doing so for two main reasons: to build a precious metals portfolio and to protect your portfolio from inflation. One of the most common misconceptions that people have about inflation is that it is something that is really happening to them. In reality, inflation is simply the increase in prices of goods and services, as well as the increase in general inflation. By investing in a gold IRA, you will be able to guard against the inflation that may occur and purchase precious metal when the prices are low and store them when the prices are high.
One of the tax benefits that you will receive by owning a gold IRA is the ability to benefit from the inflation of the market. Because gold and other physical precious metals are highly priced on the market, you will be able to profit as the price increases. If you are looking for an excellent way to diversify your portfolio and gain tax advantages, you should consider purchasing a gold IRA. If you are already a member of a company that manages your retirement savings, you may want to think about purchasing a roth. A roth is one of the best ways to utilize your tax saving to increase your portfolio value and protect your overall portfolio from fluctuation.
What to Lookout For Is Abra Safe To Invest In
There are some drawbacks to investing in gold IRA's. The main drawback is that the IRA cannot hold both platinum and palladium. Another limitation is that the IRA cannot hold bullion or silver in amounts higher than $100. Investors interested in these types of investments must diversify their portfolios so that they are invested in gold IRA's with smaller amounts of each metal. It would be impractical to attempt investing in more than one type of investment through a self directed IRA.
As gold has become more valuable, so has the demand for IRA's that hold precious metals. Because of this, the IRS has implemented several rules that restrict where precious metals can be deposited and taken out of the country. When considering your retirement planning objectives, this rule should be the first thing you look into.
When you take advantage of a self-directed gold IRA you do not have to pay taxes on the gains. You do have to pay taxes on your regular income from your job, however, since the gains are in your own funds you do not have to report them to the IRS. If you choose an IRA that allows for direct transfer of funds, you will have to pay taxes on the full amount of the transactions even if they take place outside of your retirement account. For example, if you sell a product you made in your home town to purchase a new one, you will need to report the full sale amount as income to your tax return.
For many investors, the IRS rules concerning IRAs are one of their major concerns. As the owner of a valuable asset like gold, there is often concern about how the government will seize the holdings once you are gone. The Internal Revenue Service rules allow for seizures only in the case of "iversable" property, which means that you can easily transfer the asset without any difficulty. Many investors worry that the IRS might try to take their gold IRA along with them when they die, but in reality this rarely happens.
Self directed IRA investments may also come with better business bureau ratings. This is due to the fact that most people report their own experiences with any given company they have bought through a gold IRA. In turn, companies that have good ratings are more likely to be reliable. For self directed IRA's, companies that have been in business for at least five years are considered very high quality and reliable. If you choose to diversify your portfolio using gold iras, make sure that the company you are buying from is well established.
If you are ready to get started with your own IRA, it is always a good idea to work with an experienced self-directed IRA consultant. These experts know all the rules and regulations governing IRAs, and can help you find the best places to invest and the best deals around. You can also get tips on how to make your golden years even more enjoyable by learning more about purchasing precious metal investments like gold. A gold IRA is definitely a sound investment for your retirement account.
Best Gold IRA Option
There are a number of great options when it comes to selecting a Gold IRA for your future. Through our research, we found that Regal Associates was the best option. Regal Assets was featured in the investment guide special issue of Forbes Magazine and for a limited time will be giving away a FREE copy in every Gold IRA Rollover Kit.

Final Thoughts
No matter which type of IRA you choose, you can be assured that there are some excellent advantages to investing in gold. You can purchase fine gold jewelry, invest in gold bullion, increase the overall value of your portfolio, and safeguard your retirement account from loss due to inflation. No matter which IRA you decide to invest in, or where you decide to invest it, you will certainly have a great time learning about all of the benefits associated with this exciting investment option.
Is Abra Safe To Invest In If you wish to hold physical gold in an IRA, it can not be your routine account. It needs to be a different, special one, called a Gold individual retirement account.
Additionally known as a rare-earth element individual retirement account, a Gold individual retirement account functions virtually like a common individual retirement account: the very same contribution limitations as well as circulation rules. However, rather than holding paper assets like stocks and bonds, the Gold IRA is allocated for holding physical bullion— that is, coins or bars of gold and other accepted rare-earth elements, including silver, platinum, as well as palladium.
Gold IRAs can additionally have gold supplies (shares of gold mining/production firms), gold mutual funds that purchase bullion or stocks (or both), as well as gold ETFs that track gold indexes. else. It can be present all of the moment, can be intermittent, and/or pulsing.

How to Leverage Your Credit Card Terminal to Improve Your Point of Sale
In this article, you'll learn:
Why upgrade your POS system(s)
The benefits of adding web-based analytics software
Bookkeeping and reporting made easy with SumUp's credit card terminal
Your point of sale strategy isn't merely to get buyers in and out of the door as fast as possible.It should actively contribute to your marketing and stock control systems. It should also optimize your employees' time so that they can put their focus where it belongs: on upselling.
Once you've hammered together an effective POS strategy, analytics should be gathered to enhance the many diverse tasks your point of sale can now fulfil. Your EMV terminal should be sophisticated enough to contribute to every single department in your company.
Where is Point of Sale Today?
In the Nineties, all you needed to run an efficient point of sale (POS) was a basic magnetic strip payment terminal, a computer, and software. Despite how rudimentary POS systems were 20 years ago, a basic interface often cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Today, that price has been dropped drastically due to open source code and freeware applications you can nip and tuck to fit your precise needs. The days of paying massive flat fees for an EMV terminal are as good as over.
Readers like SumUp charge a negligible percentage of each sale with no additional costs for your bookkeeper to worry about. SumUp doesn't even have an upfront cost.
Is your business ready to tackle payments? Get the SumUp Card Reader!
Increase your payment acceptance by taking debit, credit and contactless payments. Pay only 2.65% per transaction. No monthly contacts. No hidden fees. Ever.
One of the most dramatic improvements to contemporary POS systems is the existence of analytics and automation. You can effectively use the data your cashiers enter when processing a sale to inform your marketing team, refine your stock choices, and obliterate much of your accountant's legwork.
You needn't know the difference between a one and a zero to use such innovative functionality. With a click or two, analytics software will automatically craft your data into digestible graphs and other formats, ready for your management teams to analyse.
Your SumUp wireless credit card terminal can feed information into Microsoft Excel, automating much of the work your accountant usually has to do at a snail's pace. By taking labor intensive tasks off your staff's shoulders, you can at last use their most profitable talents to raise revenue.
The Mobile Solution
A credit card terminal with EMV processing power can travel anywhere a smartphone can. Every waiter in your restaurant can carry their own pocket-sized terminal, speeding up service and keeping your guests smiling. Your reader travels with your delivery team, who can use any Android or iOS device to process transactions the contactless way.
Mobile businesses never need to worry about processing payments before service delivery again. A recent study of businesses deploying new POS systems found that entrepreneurs had four primary reasons for upgrading:
48% upgraded to cut out time-consuming point of sale tasks.
33% wanted to shorten lines and serve clients faster.
20% wanted to gain competitive advantage.
12% wanted to improve customer loyalty through better service and loyalty programs.
The Customer-Centric Credit Card Terminal
Nearly half of all retailers believe that their POS systems eat up too much of their employees' time. Failure to update to more efficient and accurate EMV technology has even worse effects than that, though.
Price inaccuracy can directly drain your profits, and screen and keyboard malfunctions can cost you time and money. The inability to accept credit and debit cards has an obvious impact on your bottom line, while a lack of loyalty programs affects your revenue indirectly, especially if your major competitors are offering rewards.
Implementing a new system that eliminates all these problems is easier and more economical than you might imagine, and it begins with your wireless credit card terminal.
Step One: Adding Card Terminal EMV Technology
With a little thought and effort, your credit card terminal can act as the foundation of your POS. While your SumUp credit card reader only processes EMV cards, you can still run cash sales through it and, in so doing, replace your register entirely. How you build your next POS step depends on which operating system you use.
Step Two (a): Adding a Point of Sale System for Microsoft and Android
If you're a Microsoft client, an Excel point of sale application is easy and economical to implement because SumUp can convert all the data it receives into XLS format. Apps can even be installed on all your staff's touchscreen devices, so it's one of the most seamless ways to upgrade to EMV chip cards.
In a single download, and often at no outlay, you can issue barcode sales bills, control your stock, complete end of month stock balances, and handle purchases.
SumUp also graduates your POS to the cloud when you add web-based analytics software to your spreadsheets. Excel itself has an online version capable of providing you with your sales statistics, but more evolved applications are worth considering. Advanced analytics apps can:
Track average inventory and shrinkage.
Assess your gross margin and sell-through percentages.
Calculate return on investment.
Calculate your average basket value.
Tell you who your most profitable employees are.
With that data, you can make more intelligent inventory choices and assess your buyers' responses to your marketing efforts. Your store performance data gives you all you need to know about each branch of your business, while your employee figures can be used to develop a better talent management strategy.
Step Two (b): for iOS
If you or your any of your staff are Apple users, SumUp's iTunes App emails or texts receipts to your client, accepts all credit cards, and transfers payments to your bank account. SumUp is the first to launch an open mPOS platform with native software development kits and application programming interfaces. Anti-fraud measures are built into the reader, adding an extra tier of security to the already airtight safety of EMV technology.
Your iOS users can use browser-based applications, too, which means you can be entirely independent of all operating systems if you prefer to be. In essence, what all this jargon means is that your credit card reader has been opened up to third parties, so you can develop your own applications or download those created by others.
Step Three: Stock Control
By feeding product codes into your payment terminal, your inventory numbers can be updated automatically with every transaction. This lets you identify which items are selling well, which need replacement, and which are responding to your marketing efforts.
Step Four: Stay Secure and Integrate
SumUp's Checkout API lets you integrate stand-alone and omnichannel payments online and off so that card information never makes it to your server. All information is encrypted, and a new transaction is generated for each payment to prevent fraud. If you don't want to embed your own web app, SumUp provides a custom checkout program.
Step Five: Use Your POS Register for Your Books
With the help of additional applications, SumUp's POS can act as a pixelated version of your brick-and-mortar cash register, managing everything from multiple payment methods to discounts and reporting. It can:
Function in the cloud
Operate in offline mode.
Manage loyalty programs.
Handle a full suite of transactions over the phone or via tokenization.
Accept data about your clients.
The API also creates a pagination of transaction events so that you can control refunds, chargebacks, and orders. This data is easily transferred into your bookkeeping software to cut out the need for repetitive tasks. Transaction histories can be transformed into metrics to inform your marketing and advertising teams.
Creating a New Business Model with Your Credit Card Terminal
Today's POS systems are supposed to enhance your revenue and make life easier for staff, and your EMV terminal can act as the central point around which the rest of your POS functions revolve.
Before the new generation of contactless EMV readers hit the stands, how you accepted payments limited the mobility of your business. Fees were too steep to support more than a few card machines, and mobile credit card processing wasn't an option.
Today, your terminal can travel with you, so your business isn't limited to your brick-and-mortar address. If you want to sell products at a convention, you no longer need to be tied to a cash register. Contactless readers will carry you from outdoor markets to catered events without requiring you to prepare.
If you've never thought about what your business model would look like if it was unconstrained to a physical address, it's time to start.
EMV technology is more than merely a tool for eliminating fraud. With a little thought, it will change the way you think about your company. If you've been in business for a decade, you've probably invested thousands in old-fashioned POS systems. It's time to wave goodbye to those unnecessary costs and say "hello" to tools that raise profits.
In Summary
It's important to recognize that today a credit card terminal can not only provide a fast POS system, but that it can also be utilized to provide marketing and reporting analytics by which you can develop better business models and strategies. The SumUp Air Card Reader does all this but also uniquely frees you from all operating systems should you desire to develop your own app or download those of others—evolve your enterprise your way.

One of my favorite 'go to' ways to turn a vegetable into a quick and easy light meal is fritters or vegetable pancakes. I have experimented with fritters using many different vegetables with many different flavours including both sweet and savoury and it was finally time to try using one of my favourite flavour combinations, spinach and feta, to make some fritters. At their base, these vegetable pancakes are made with the vegetable in question along with an egg and enough flour to hold them together. From there you want to add some flavouring to keep things interesting and then the fritters are fried in oil until crispy and golden brown on the outside. These spinach and feta fritters, inspired by spanakopita, are pretty simple with just a bunch of fresh herbs added to season them up a bit. With just a few minutes of prep time followed by some mixing and a few minutes of frying you have some really tasty spinach and feta pancakes to tantalize your taste buds!
Spinach and Feta Fritters
- 10 ounces spinach (roughly chopped, cooked and squeezed to drain)
- 1 handful fresh herbs (I used a mixture of parsley, dill and mint)
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 1/4 cup feta (crumbled)
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2+ cup flour (whole wheat flour is also good)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Mix the spinach, herbs, onions, feta, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Mix in the flour. (Note: You want to mix in enough flour that the mixture will hold its form when fried.)
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Spoon the spinach mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side.
Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie)
Greek Style Zucchini Fritters
Pumpkin and Feta Fritters
Ntomatokeftedes (Greek Tomato and Feta Fritters)
Authentic Okonomiyaki

Read Shakespeare's 'O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven' soliloquy from Hamlet below with modern English translation and analysis, plus a video performance.
'O, My Offence Is Rank It Smells To Heaven', Spoken by Claudius, Act 3 Scene 3
O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon't,
A brother's murder. Pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will:
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent;
And, like a man to double business bound,
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with brother's blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercy
But to confront the visage of offence?
And what's in prayer but this two-fold force,
To be forestalled ere we come to fall,
Or pardon'd being down? Then I'll look up;
My fault is past. But, O, what form of prayer
Can serve my turn? 'Forgive me my foul murder'?
That cannot be; since I am still possess'd
Of those effects for which I did the murder,
My crown, mine own ambition and my queen.
May one be pardon'd and retain the offence?
In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law: but 'tis not so above;
There is no shuffling, there the action lies
In his true nature; and we ourselves compell'd,
Even to the teeth and forehead of our faults,
To give in evidence. What then? what rests?
Try what repentance can: what can it not?
Yet what can it when one can not repent?
O wretched state! O bosom black as death!
O limed soul, that, struggling to be free,
Art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay!
Bow, stubborn knees; and, heart with strings of steel,
Be soft as sinews of the newborn babe!
All may be well.
'O, My Offence Is Rank It Smells To Heaven' Soliloquy Translation
His offence was rank, it smelt to heaven. It had the most primal ancient curse on it. A brother's murder! He tried to kneel but couldn't. He couldn't pray, even though his need to was as powerful as it could be. His guilt outweighed his strong desire. He didn't know where to begin as there were two main considerations: his crime against a human being and his sin against God. And so he could only stand there doing nothing. What if this cursed hand of his were thicker than itself with brother's blood; wasn't there enough rain in the sweet heavens to wash it white as snow? What was mercy for if not to help him fight the effects of his crime? And what was prayer for if not to prevent his fall before it happened? Or if it did happen, to pardon him when it did? Then he would be able to look up because his sin would be behind him. He prepared to kneel but still, what kind of prayer would help him? 'Forgive me my foul murder?' That was no good because he still possessed those things that he had done the murder for: his crown, his ambition, and his queen. Could one be pardoned for a sin and still keep the benefits of it? In the corrupt ways of the world one could shove justice aside and the power and wealth one achieved by one's crimes could be used to bribe the dispensers of law. But that wasn't the case in heaven. There's no crooked dealing there. Our actions' true nature is laid bare before God and we ourselves are forced to give full and true evidence. What should he do then? What could he do? Only try what repentance he could. It couldn't do any harm. But it wouldn't help if one simply couldn't repent. Oh wretched condition! Oh heart as black as death! Oh soul trapped in sticky lime, that struggling to free itself, was becoming even more entangled! Help angels! Make him do it! Make his stubborn knees bow, and make the steel strings of his heart as soft as the sinews of a newborn baby! It may work. He knelt slowly in front of the altar, bowed his head and clasped his hands together.

It makes sense that for-profit institutions like Google, Amazon, Barnes and Nobles or even Starbucks, begin to consider applying for university accreditation, and offering degrees of their own. Clearly, well-run for-profits are vastly more economically efficient than any non-profit college or university. The efficiency is a consequence of following the basic economic principle that an informed consumer will always purchase the best value for the least money. I, like most parents, would happily send my children to Google University if I knew they would learn more there than at a higher priced university. (...)
Google could escape the tenure trap by not hiring any faculty at all. Instead of hiring the faculty themselves, institutions like Google could simply purchase a vast library of taped, high quality, lectures given by academic super stars or other top performing teachers who are willing to sell series of their lectures (perhaps even receiving residuals if they really rock!). These professors would operate as free agents in a digital world of Professors Without Borders. (...)
Google University (...) would not only reduce the cost of education to students, the competition between professors to produce the best lectures would create vastly superior lectures, and the competition between for-profit institutions in order to attract students would produce vastly better outcomes for students, and therefore would even help American corporations, like Google itself, who need highly competent employees.
James suggests that YouTube could be a good platform for distributing lectures and other Google tools could make learning much more efficient. Google Books and Google Scholar could be a universal library, Google Groups and Google Talk - a way to communicate, Google Docs - a platform for online assignments.

Leiden University
Music plays an important role in our daily lives and is woven into the fabric of society. We listen to music while alone or in company, in a dance club or at home, through simple headphones or via high-end speakers, as background or as foreground, after we get up or before we go to bed. Music accompanies us when we are traveling, doing sports, shopping, working or relaxing. This omnipresence of music raises several questions: how does music affect our lives? What is the relation between the society we live in and the role, function, and position of music within that society? How is music influenced by and does music influence social, political, economic, technological, and multiple other developments?
Do these questions trigger you? Music and Society provides a thorough introduction to the various ways in which music and society are connected through engaging lectures, insightful interviews, challenging assignments, interesting readings, and of course a lot of musical examples. The course aims at increasing your insights on where, how and why we listen to music, how music contributes to shaping our identity, how music forms, expresses, and subverts political ideas, and how music affects our norms and values.

Store Faq
This Official Jazz Dispensary Store is managed by Craft Recordings and fulfilled by Second City Prints. If you have any questions about merch or your order, please use our Contact Page.
Updated: August 10th, 2020
Due to COVID related delays with the United States Postal Service (USPS), many shipments are experiencing delays of 30-45 days for all classes of USPS mail. Tracking links are taking longer to update as well. Packages are not lost and we have been reassured that all orders will be delivered. As states start closing again, we are expecting more delays like this through the end of the year. We appreciate your support of our stores and your continued patience.
Due to these delays, we are discontinuing USPS Priority/First Class shipping options for new orders being placed. We will continue to offer USPS Media Mail but please be advised that it is the lowest priority class at USPS sorting facilities and will be extremely delayed. Please note that our DHL Economy option still relies on the USPS for the last 5 miles of delivery, so there may be delays for those shipping options as well.
Additionally, all international orders shipped outside of the US are taking 4-12 weeks to deliver due to delays at customs as well as COVID related outages all over the globe.
If you already placed an order that has not yet been shipped and you would like to cancel your order, please fill out our CANCELLATION REQUEST FORM
If your order has already been shipped and your tracking link has not updated or you believe there has been a delay, please allow additional time for USPS to catch up. For domestic orders, if it has been past 45 days since the shipment date, please contact us at [email protected] and we will determine the best course of action for your order. For international orders, please contact us after 75 days.
Per our website and policy, no refunds are being issued for delayed mail at this time.
We understand how frustrating this is. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. With the state of USPS right now, we are doing the best we can with the information we have from USPS. We respectfully ask that you allow the given time frames for your package(s) to deliver.
Again, we are sorry for any inconvenience and we appreciate your order and support.
The terms below refer to our standard policies. Please see above for current conditions related to COVID-19.
When can I expect my order to arrive?
All orders will be shipped within 1 business day of you placing your online order. Packages will then take 1-7 days depending on where you live and what you order. Check your e-mail for a shipping confirmation with a tracking number.
Is it possible to have an order expedited?
Yes. Upon request, we can send your package with overnight shipping and guaranteed arrival times. Please contact us before or immediately after you place your order indicating when the order must be delivered and we will figure out the additional shipping costs.
How does pre order work?
If an item is marked as Pre Order that item will not ship until the in stock date listed on the product page. If you order 2 items with different Pre Order dates, the items will ship together on whatever the later date is. If your order contains a Pre Order item and an in-stock item the order will not ship until the Pre Order item is in-stock.
How do I know what size to order?
All of our clothing items have size charts. We highly recommend checking these before placing your orders. We suggest taking a ruler or tape measure to your favorite clothing items and comparing them to the specifications in our size charts to compare.
Will your items shrink?
All t-shirts are made with 100% pre-shrunk cotton. If washed according to tag instructions, they should not noticeably shrink. All sweatshirts are contain polyester and will not shrink if washed appropriately.
How much do you charge for shipping?
Your shipping costs will be displayed at checkout. It depends on where you live and what items you order. We charge the lowest rates possible and do not profit from this cost!
Do you charge sales taxes?
We charge sales taxes on all orders shipped to an Illinois address to comply with our state sales tax laws. Items are taxed at 8.0%.
Do you ship international orders?
Yes! We have sold our products to customers in over 20 countries. Shipping and handling will be more expensive, but if you are able to afford it, we will ship it! Orders will take longer to arrive so please be patient. Also, some countries will charge the receiver a customs fee for out of country purchases before delivering a package. We will not be liable for these extra customs fees. Please contact your local post office or customs office with your questions.
What shipping carriers do you use?
Most orders are shipped using the United States Post Office (USPS). Smaller packages are shipped using 1st Class Mail and larger packages go Priority Mail. We use these methods to save on cost and pass the savings on to you with fair shipping rates. Occasionally, packages over a certain weight limit will be shipped with UPS Ground. Your shipping confirmation email will give you such details with a tracking number.
Is my package lost? It has not arrived after 2 weeks.
Probably not. Please contact us though if your tracking number is not giving you answers or if you have not received a shipping confirmation yet.
Why can't I add more than 10 units of a given item?
We limit per item orders to 10 to discourage individuals from buying up limited stock and keeping a level playing field for exclusive releases. If you believe you are receiving an order limit in error, please reach out to customer support.
How do I exchange an item that doesn't fit?
If the purchase was made within 60 days, send it back to Craft Recordings Store, 1521 Hubbard Ave, Batavia, IL 60510. Include a note with what size(s) you want instead and check, cash, or money order for return shipping. For one t-shirt, include $4.00. For one hoodie or multiple items, include $7.00. Make sure to include your name and contact information. If it has been longer than 60 days since the item was purchased, we unfortunately cannot exchange or refund you for it.
