Farmers Market – BaltimorePosted: April 14, 2014 in Food Review, Wonderful Humans

Spring has spring and oh, it is a wonderful and beautiful feeling!
Yesterday, in the spirit of all things "springy", I visited the Baltimore Farmers Market which is located beneath the I-83 Expressway. I was happy to see that many of the vendors from the year before were there and prices were very good, as always. I was a little sad to see less produce (fruits and veggies) as last year but I was reminded that it's still early in the season so abundant fruits and veggies will be coming my way soon and I certainly cannot wait. The scents were overwhelming at first in a not-so-good way with a blast of fried foods, eggs cooking and that wet, outdoor, protein-rich scent where puddles of water had gathered as the vendors with cooked food products were set up. However, once we walked past that section, the scents of cheeses and fresh bread hit me which, the carb whore in me suddenly perked up and my mood was immediately elevated to new levels. It's amazing how the feel of a cool, smooth, flawless kale leaf, the firm feel of sweet onions, or the sweet cream in those old-fashioned milk bottles can make me appreciate the animals, and earth from which we gain nourishment. So while there wasn't as large of a selection from which to choose, I did not leave empty handed; in fact, we made two trips to the car. Besides, isn't that what a Farmers Market is for? To get creative and get some ideas about food for the week that you may be lucky enough to change up next week!
Below are seven helpful hints of things I've learned from experience (and inexperience!) but before I get to that, here's my usual "Good, Bad and Ugly" breakout:
The Good:
- Most vendors were pleasant and seemed happy to be there. I will definitely return with much cash to encourage the feeling of happiness and warmth when interacting with these awesome folks. As I go there more this year, I will share more about the individual vendors…
- The food was so fresh and so clean, clean!! The fish smelled and looked fresh, as did the buffalo, kale, collard greens, onions (red and sweet), sweet (heavy) cream, half and half, pressed olive oil, and avocado honey, among other products.
- The co$t of all items I listed above were about a hundred dollars and twenty dollars. Yes! I got all of that for $100! Suck it, Whole Foods and Harris Teeter!! MUAHAHA
- There's not only produce and meat, there's soaps, jewelry, clothing, and an entire section with cooked breakfast and lunch items, including coffee, delicious little donuts (that were featured on the Baltimore news recently for their tastiness), freshly made smoothies and juices, sandwiches, omelets, etc.
- Abu the flutemaster. This gentleman at the opening close to the I-83 exit makes all of his instruments from PVC pipes, plastic funnels, etc., he plays them well and they sound very good!
- The connections with people. I randomly met a Facebook friend in person and was able to share a few minutes of conversation and camaraderie.
The Bad:
- If you're not a morning person (which I'm not!) the "getting there" aspect is a bit tough on a Sunday. The vendors are there from ~7 AM to 12 noon. So don't go partying like a rock star on Saturday night unless you're in your 20s still and can do that sort of thing on two hours of sleep. 🙂
- Sometimes parking can be a pain but if you plan it right (see the helpful hints below), you can walk a few blocks with ease and not worry about the parking.
- For some, there may be an issue with the number of homeless people who are around asking for money or food. I'm not bothered by a homeless person and prefer to give food, etc., but some of the people I've encountered in the past can be very demanding while others aren't rude or abusive.
- There were two vendors who didn't make my "pleasant" cut.
- One was just kind of "cutting" with her tone because I pronounced the name of some greens inaccurately (my tongue was not feeling the word, "Mesclun" at o'dark thirty AM. She said it was because she had just taken a swig of a potent smoothie, which was fine if that's the case, but I felt like I was being judged a bit by my inability to state my order. I ended up just pointing to the wretchedly worded greenery as I asked sheepishly for a pound of it.
- The other vendor was the Caribbean food vendor who sold cooked items. This man was rude and even if his products weren't dry and overly seasoned (I promise you that the statement is accurate and not based on his demeanor. After all, I know my Caribbean items!), I will not spend my money or recommend his products. Unfortunately, he may have been from an Island and I had to sigh at my Caribbean peeps and their 'tudes. Why? Here's a play-by-play:
- Me: Is the Caribe pollo item spicy?
- Vendor: The ingredients are listed right there.
- Me: What kind of… [as I raised my arm to point to the part of the sign that said, "peppers" I was immediately cut off]
- Vendor: Right there. It's listed there. Not spicy. [giving me an irritated look as if I asked if he had washed his hands before serving the food or something offensive]. Either way, he appeared aggravated that I didn't just place an order and move on. Apparently, this someone had watched a little too much, "Soup Nazi" Seinfeld episodes!
- Me: Okay, well your ingredients list peppers and I need to know what kind.
- Vendor: Oh, multi type. Sweet peppers.
- Me: Okay, that's all I wanted to know. I'll take it. [Thinking, "was that so freekin hard!? I'm never going to spend my money here again."]
The Ugly:
- There is nothing ugly about this Farmers Market thus far!
Natasha's Helpful Hints
- Get there before 9 AM if you want parking spots relatively close to the market. This Baltimore Farmers Market It's located below the I-83 expressway ramp so while it's convenient to access, remember to pay attention to the metered parking signs and parking lots that clearly warn you against parking in them or you may be ticketed and/or towed. It's in the heart of the city and tow truck drivers don't seem to sleep.
- Take ca$h! Most of these vendors do not accept credit cards for small purchases. Many take cards for larger purchases like the items for $25 and up, etc. but for the most part, cash is king there.
- Take large cloth carrying bags. They have soft handles that are more comfortable for walking longer distances, and you can place a lot of the smaller bags of items you purchase.
- Return your empty cream, milk and olive oil bottles to the vendor for saving$!
- The creamery vendor took $2 off the purchase when they have their glass bottle back.
- The olive oil vendor takes $5 or so dollars off the purchase when you return the olive oil glass jar.
- Wear comfortable shoes and clothes! Sometimes with all the walking on an uneven surface, with dogs, children and crowds, your feet will be stepped on and it's not a club people…don't go getting mad when people accidentally step on your toes. It can get pretty hot with large crowds of people so dress for summer time.
- If you don't like a vendor's attitude or products, walk around. Chances are, there are more vendors selling the same products. You're there for a good deal and fresh produce. Scope out the competition. But please remember that the vendors need to make money too and they're often better and fresher than the supermarket chains so don't be a cheap bastard and get upset with the prices if they're mostly consistent. If you really think they're expensive, leave and go to your supermarket. Don't make the experience a bad one for others.
- Smile! Talk with the vendors only if they're not busy. I've found that everyone (except the two I mentioned above in the "bad" section), were willing to tell me about their products, such as, the day the fish were picked up from the fishermen, the small business fees when paying with a credit card, etc.
Have you been to the Farmers Market in your town or neighboring city? Or the one in Baltimore and/or DC? Tell me about it!
Happy Spring!

Venice 2000
My first night evening in Venice, and we're enjoying one of the best pizza's of our lives at a surprisingly swanky restaurant considering the prices. Suddenly the door to the kitchen bursts out, and out storm the staff, weaving their way through the tables of customers out into the street. followed swiftly by all the waiters. Naturally, we follow, to see what all the fuss is about. It soon becomes clear. The bar across the alley has a TV. The TV is showing the MATCH.
The Dutch, host of Euro 2000, are squared up against the Italians in the semi finals. Squandering numerous chances through the game, the Dutch are held nil – nil. Down to penalties.
History will tell you the Italians won. I got my first glimpse of the famous Italian passion and emotion, with grown men crying in the streets, hugging and kissing all and sundry as they celebrated their good fortune and the win. It felt like Venice boiled over that hot summer evening, and the passion of the Italian men and woman was sight to behold, and led to a very special first night in Venice.
Milan 2002
I'm catching the overnight train from Milan to Brussels, and find myself sharing the cheap seats with two Spanish university students. Just weeks before, the Spanish had sent us tumbling out of the World Cup in Japan/South Korea, 3 – 2 if my memory serves correctly. I remember sneaking off work in the UK so that I could watch the game and suffer the anguish that South African sports fans know so well as we came so close, yet ultimately came up short. Yet for the two Spaniards, that game had been nothing special, just another minor obstacle on their way to bigger and better things later in the tournament. Hardly impartial, but I felt rather belittled the way they rather unceremoniously tossed my country to the soccer scrap heap.
On these two experiences alone, I make my decision. For inadvertently giving a youngster like me a most fantastic introduction to Venice, and all things passionate one summer night in 2000, I hope the Dutch emerge victorious on Sunday at Soccer City, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Bravo SA, you've done yourself and all your citizens proud over the last month. Lets finish this thing off with a bang.

I've been thinking about what to blog about. I have lots of things in my head right now I guess. My kids have been doing some funny things. Spencer got a bonus at work. But I feel the need to blog about my 3rd child, the one who I won't get to post first-day-of-school pictures of....the one I won't get to see eat her first birthday cake next month...The one I I had to say goodbye to before I ever really got to say hello.
I love that when Emma draws pictures of our family or writes all our names, she includes Macie. I love that we don't feel the need to go to the cemetery every week anymore, as we know she isn't actually there. I love that every helium balloon {still} goes straight to her in heaven. Life does go on, but it's different. And, as I recently heard, "Grief looks different on everyone."
I wish I'd soaked up that pregnancy more. I wish I hadn't complained about my swollen ankles. I wish I'd had just a little more time.
Anyway, on her 11 month birthday/angel-versary I just thought I should remind myself - physically - of her. We have plenty of reminders of our little angel in other ways.

I experienced a new sense of freedom yesterday. At the same time I experienced (a tiny amount of) loneliness! After dropping Tyler off at preschool I went to Michael's and the grocery store. Alone! In one hour I got all my shopping done, and still had an hour at home. (Aren't you feeling so sorry for me?) Yes, I had every reason to be productive and clean my house or something...but didn't.
I picked up Emma and she was excited to come get Tyler with me. When he ran out, he said, "Mom! I didn't even cry!" My little sweet homebody actually enjoyed it. That's what I call success. And go figure, I was asked to be the room rep for Emma's class. There goes most of my freedom.
*If you're thinking he wears this shirt a lot, you're right.
In his prayers last night, he prayed that "mommy won't be wonwee (lonely)." I'm thinking I'll be just fine.

We had a bunch of people over for ice cream a few weeks ago. One of our friends commented on a picture of Tyler I had taken, and said how much he liked it. Spencer jumped in with, "She has a nice camera." And I do have a nice camera. But that picture in particular is one I am very proud of. Lately I've been realizing more and more that it is about the person behind the camera--as well as other factors--more than the actual camera.
My other camera is a Canon point and shoot and we've had it for years. It's a nice point and shoot. I love it! Some of my favorite, most crisp photos have come out of that camera! It's 10 megapixels, has a great zoom, and I set the ISO to 100 or 200 so that my pictures look pretty darn amazing. Nowadays I see pictures taken with camera phones and they look as good as pictures from actual cameras!
I have a friend who bought a Canon DSLR but after a few days realized it was too much for her. She took it back and got a slightly easier to use camera, that was a little cheaper but is still very nice. And it fits her. She knew she would never use the different settings and would probably just shoot on Auto, so I think she made a wise choice. And the camera she uses now (also a Canon) takes amazing pictures! Ahem, she takes amazing pictures. She didn't need the SLR to get what she wanted out of photography.
Sometimes I take crappy pictures. Sometimes the lighting is awful and there isn't much I can do about it. This happened a lot this past weekend. I think my point and shoot would have taken equally as good (or, equally as crappy) pictures. Thank goodness for Photoshop, so I can at least do a little color correcting.
Anyway, my main point is that it isn't the camera but the person and the lighting. I guess it's been on my mind the last few days since I have a bunch of pictures that need serious re-touching. Don't waste your money on a serious camera hoping for instant amazing pictures - it doesn't work that way. Sometimes I even prefer my little point and shoot. And Spencer no longer credits my camera when I happen to get a great photo. I'm not aspiring to be a professional photographer, but I do still have a lot to learn.

mixed emotions
I don't remember much about my first day of school. I don't know if I cried. Probably not. I do remember my first day of high school. In fact, for the first TWO days I thought I was going to puke. I was terrified.
I will always remember THIS first day of school. Emma's first day. I've been dreading it for weeks. Maybe because it means that in 12 days Tyler starts preschool and that means I have 8 hours a week ALONE. I still can't fathom that. It wasn't in the plans for me to be alone during the day at all, at least not for a few more years.
Back to Emma. I just have such mixed emotions about sending my sweetest little oldest child off to school. I am excited for her. I know there is a reason why kids go to school at age 5 - I know it's important for her to be there. But I can't shake the desire to keep her with me forever! Spencer gave her a blessing on Sunday night, which probably helped me more than her. She woke up this morning with a big grin on her face. I helped her get dressed today, she insisted on her hair in ponytail, and then we took the obligatory pictures outside the front door. The neighbor even noticed and came over to fawn over Emma.
At the school I made a mental note that perhaps Spencer should take work off to join me at the school next time, as it seems like that's what EVERY other family was doing (is it me, or is that weird?). Then Tyler and I walked home. On the walk to school this morning Emma asked me if I was going to cry. That little girl is so keen and smart...and sensitive. I am proud to say that I didn't cry until I got home.
When I picked her up she didn't have much to say, other than she loved it. I kept asking "what else??" to be met with blank stares. She did tell me one boy's name is "poop." (She really thought that was weird.) I sure hope she got that wrong...
Our first-day-of-school tradition, we decided, will be making chocolate chip cookies. Usually it's Spencer who makes cookies - he makes the best ones - but someone has to be at work so it fell on me. Yum!

The Slender Bedstraw (Galium pumilum) was probably the rarest plant nationally speaking that we saw on the visit. It looks little different from other white bedstraws, but the tooth structure of the leaf is different, being toothed only towards the tapering base, and these teeth curving towards the base of the leaf. It has recently turned up at a second chalk downland site in North Hampshire. My illustration shows the UK distribution and two of my photos one of the leaf and the other of the plant at Porton Down.
I was again surprised this morning at what one can find within walking distance of one's house. On the verge of a residential street in Basingstoke I found a spike of the Lesser Broomrape (Orobanche minor) and the Ratstail Fescue (Vulpia myuros) both of which were new species to me.
Orobanche minor (Lesser Broomrape)
Total species 1202
Found and photographed 385 (32%) - just 16 more species to one third

Clare hurling boss Ger O'Loughlin has said that referee John Owens did little to help his men in yesterday's gallant defeat to All Ireland champions Tipperary.
Although O'Loughlin was delighted with his side's performance and spirit he told a press conference after the match that he was "disappointed" with Owens:
"Most of you guys wouldn't have given us that chance – that we'd be up by six points after 10 minutes or 15 minutes. Again, most times in hurling matches goals win matches and we paid the price for giving away two soft goals to bring them back into it, but that's something we have to learn quickly, that you can't concede after a great start.
"We had a tremendous start, our hurling was very crisp, our tackling was ferocious, we looked a team. In saying that we left them back into it and against All-Ireland champions Tipp there's never a panic button pressed. They'll turn the screw on you if they get a chance and they got a couple against us. Hopefully we'll learn from that.
Regarding the official: "Now, where do I start? I must say I was disappointed, I have to say that.
"I was very disappointed. I might be wrong but I think for 23 or 24 minutes we were entitled to three frees and we got none. We were well on top and I just felt we didn't get the rub of the green from the ref. I got very frustrated with him. I thought a team like Clare needs a few breaks like that.
"I was only looking for what we thought on the sideline were frees to Clare."


text: I've been fascinated by the color greige lately and decided to do a little research on it. The dictionary meaning is "being in an unbleached, undyed state as taken from a loom". The first use of the word dates back to 1926 in reference to french raw silk. It has become known in interior design circles as the color that hovers between grey and beige, a muted light grey with a touch of warmth. I always assumed a green involvement in the color greige. Here's my interpretation as I display pieces of stone, paper, silk, ceramic and steel to arrive the perfect neutral, the intersection of green, grey & beige.

Good Morning from a frosty white South Yorkshire...
Here I bring you Little Claire's February Stamp club kit. I absolutely love this little cute stamp set.
The meadow patterned paper adds a lovely touch to the stamped images. The images were stamped with memento ink then coloured using promarkers.
I hope you don't end up with too much snow this evening and you all get plenty of crafting done.

Sugar Tree Inn
High in the Blue Ridge Mountains, less than a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, is a haven of natural beauty called The Sugar Tree. Set on twenty-eight wooded acres at 2800 feet, Virginia's Mountain Inn is a place of peace, solitude and tranquility.
Named as one of the "Six Romantic Inns" by the "Washingtonian" and called "Mountain Magic" by "Hampton Roads", The Sugar Tree is truly unique. Nestled on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mts. less than 3/4 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the inn is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Yet, with Lexington and Staunton only 30 minutes away, cultural events, shopping, and great antiquing are nearby.
Activities galore. With two trails on the 28 acre property, the novice hiker does not have to stray far to experience nature. Spring bursts forth with the color of Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, Trillium, and other mountain flowers. Summer finds the mountain air cooler and dryer than the valley below.
Although the rooms have air conditioners, they are rarely used. The fall colors are hard to describe. As for wildlife, guests have seen turkey, pheasant, deer, and numerous other species of birds and animals on the short loops about the inn.
Trails with names like Yankee Horse Trail, Indian Rocks, White Oak Flats, and Jump Mountain Trail are nearby. For the avid day hiker, trails abound in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests and along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Appalachian Trail can be accessed at several points less than 30 minutes from the inn. The highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River, Crabtree Falls, is only 15 minutes away.
Books and maps abound in the living room and library of the lodge. For those less inclined to walk, we will assist you in finding a perfect road tour of Rockbridge or adjoining counties. Sights along the way include Rockbridge Vineyards, Buffalo Springs Herb Farm, Wade's Mill, and walking suspension bridges in Goshen Pass. For those wanting live theater, the Lime Kiln and Black Friar Theatre are approximately 30 minutes away.
Accommodations are both spacious and cozy. Each guest room is individually themed and decorated. Built of 175+ year old logs taken from cabins, a store and a church in the Shenandoah Valley, the main lodge and one of the guest buildings offer the rustic feel of another time.
All guest rooms have wood-burning fireplaces and private baths.


text: I'm blessed to be where I am today! Thank you GOD for having your hands on my life. My wife asked me a question the other day and that really got me thinking. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in work, church, and life in general that we sometimes miss the opportunity to look one another into the eyes and say THANK YOU!!! Thank you for loving me eventhough I forget to say, I love you. Thank you for everything. My wife is the best wife in the world. I don't tell her enough how blessed I am to call her my wife.

In December of 1997 I received a $50.00 child support check (my court order was $747.00 a month).
That was the only child support check I have ever received.
I've thought about getting that date tattooed to commemorate that one time occasion to remind myself how capable I am.
I've been looking at tuition fees for my daughter's college classes, no matter how capable I have been over the years I have to admit that money would've been helpful. Its hard not to dwell on that when I stare at all these upcoming costs.

One of the few success stories for the NHL's southern expansion has been the Tampa Bay Lightning. Maybe partially because Tampa doesn't have an NBA franchise, but they actually have carved out a nice little niche for themselves there. I don't think even the biggest critics of the NHL's southern march can point at Tampa as an example of a failure in expansion.
Well now news that former Columbus GM and Florida Panthers coach Doug MacClean has bought the Tampa Lightning, along with a group of TV/Movie investors probably spells doom for the franchise. Why does that spell doom... let me restate former Columbus GM and Florida Panthers coach Doug MacLean has bought the Tampa Lightning. Lightning fans have to feel like that's the kiss of Death.
Until this season MacLean was the only GM in Columbus history. In a related story, Columbus has never drafted higher than 8th in their history. The Columbus' organization has the 9th best farm system right now which sounds good. When you consider they have never drafted outside the top 10 (which means they have had lots of high 2nd and high 3rd round choices as well) and they are still ranked behind teams who have consistently made the playoffs like the Oilers and Wild, and teams who have hope for next season, like the Rangers, Blues and Canadians.
It's too bad. The Lightning have actually been one of the better NHL franchises over the last 5-10 years. Faux Rumors put them in their "middle 20" in organizational rankings, and I think an argument can be made they could be in the top 10. They have a likable star in Martin St. Louis, and an unlikable one in Lecavalier.
Lightning fans, and everyone else I think, were pretty shocked about this one.
MacLean has had some success in the NHL, as he coached the 1996 Florida Panthers to the Stanley Cup Finals. that lead to this:
and this:

This cute little top was my second refashion in my Sew Spooky Series. I actually found the orange pumpkin top and candy corn shorts forgotten in the back of my closet. I knew these two would come together this Halloween season.
I cut through all the seams in the shorts.
I cut out where I wanted to put in the raglan sleeves.
New raglan sleeves. :)
Afterwards, I just sewed on the lace pocket and hand sewed the sequin pumpkin on.

Waiting for the Sun to Shine My Way

After successfully installing report services and configuring all options in 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' while trying to access the URL under 'Reporting Manager URL' section of configuration manager its asking to provide credentials which is weird as it should directly connect. To avoid this we need to add the respective reporting URL to 'Trusted Site' zone in iexplorer Tools - > Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites -> Sites.
Now after adding the reporting URL to trusted sites zone it's not asking for credentials but after connecting throwing below error:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
This happens when the user does not have the permission to the reporting url, even if you have windows admin privileges, access to reports URL should be given explicitly. This happens mostly during fresh installations, in such case you need to open iexplorer or browser with administrator credentials like shown in screenshot below:
Right click on iexplorer and select the option 'Run as administrator', once browser will open, open the report url and in url on right hand top corner you will find option ' Site Settings' shown in screen shot below
Click on Site Settings and in it click on 'Security' tab
Under security tab click on 'New Role Assignment' and add the user to whom you want to give the access to SSRS URL and click on OK. In our case you can add the user with which you logged into machine and give him 'System Administrator' and 'System User' roles. After giving permission you should not receive this error any more.


text: This has been the most wonderful day, full of tears of joy, family, great food, and of course, the most wonderful gift from God. My heart weighs heavy for my many friends who are still waiting for the opportunity to celebrate this holiday. Just because I am no longer in their shoes, doesn't mean I will ever forget what this holiday used to feel like. It was the 1 day every year for the last 4 and a half years that I wanted to pull the covers over my head and stay in bed until it was over. I will never forget. I will continue praying for my dear friends who have so much love to give, and would give anything for a tiny miracle to give it to. I continue to pray for the sweet, wonderful girl who loved unconditionally and gave life to our Mira*cle and placed her in my arms, giving me the most amazing gift and the opportunity to celebrate this holiday. I will never forget.

Time to write or call your United States Senator and voice your support for RAISE Family Caregivers Act (S. 1028) introduced into the senate by Susan Collins and Tammy Baldwin. The legislation has the support of the American Association on Health and Disability, Association of University Centers on Disability, Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, Paralyzed Veterans of America and many other groups.
Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act
Washington, D.C. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee unanimously passed legislation introduced by U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), the Chairman of the Senate Aging Committee, and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) to establish a national strategy to support family caregivers. The Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage, or RAISE, Family Caregivers Act will now be considered by the full Senate.
The RAISE Act would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and sustain a national strategy to recognize and support the more than 40 million family caregivers in the United States. This bipartisan legislation has been endorsed by 58 aging and disability organizations, including the AARP, the Alzheimer's Association, the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Arc. U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) are cosponsors of the bill.
"Every day, 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 years old. The need for care and support is increasing; however, the number of professional caregivers is shrinking,'said Senator Collins. "Our bipartisan legislation would develop a coordinated, national strategic plan to help us leverage our resources, promote best practices, and expand the services and training available to caregivers. By supporting family caregivers, we can enable people to live at home, where they want to be, and delay or prevent more costly care and unnecessary hospitalizations."
"If we are serious about ensuring that our older adults and loved ones with disabilities receive the highest quality care in their own homes, we must formally recognize and support family caregivers," said Senator Baldwin. "Our bipartisan legislation will create a national strategy and plan to assist family caregivers to help everyone have access to the care and assistance they need and deserve. As someone that served as my grandmother's primary caregiver, this is personal to me. I am excited that this bipartisan legislation has cleared this important hurdle."
The RAISE Act is based on a recommendation of the bipartisan Commission on Long Term Care and modeled on the law Senator Collins co-authored in 2010 with then-Senator Evan Bayh that created a coordinated strategic national plan to combat Alzheimer's disease.
Here is a sample letter you can send or email to your United States Senator:

more longies
i made these for my 10yo dd. she is very happy with them, wearing them most every day. they are especcially good for ice skating, which is where she is right now. :-)
i enjoy making these because there is so much soothing stocking stitch in them.
i did have to frog rather severely after the short rows for waist/hip shaping. these were designed for ladies. being me, i just blindly followed ez's directions, even though she does footnote them, saying "adjust as needed."
i ended up with a severely tilted waist, in that the back sat high on her waist, which we liked; but the front sat at the bikini underwear line. didn't like that; looked funny. so i frogged all the way back to the short rows, taking quite a few of them out, too. we're both happy w/them now!

Say what you will about old-school, smoke-filled backroom politics, the work got done. That is what is missing in Washington today, unfortunately, in a time when we need that type of leadership more than ever.
Gone are the days when liberals and conservatives found common ground and hammered out agreements. Now the liberal Democrats, conservative Republicans, and uber-conservative Tea Party leftovers hammer each other. No one segment is large, strong or reasonable enough to prevail, and the absence of both intent and ability to compromise is disgusting.

In one of those sweeping gestures for which he's justly famous, William Saletan has formally approved the proposition that "the ideal amount of teen sex is zero."
We're still waiting to learn how much and what kind of teen masturbation is ideal, if any. Perhaps Saletan can prepare some diagrams for us with his free hand.
Putting aside the question of whether it's seemly for a grown man to spend so much time fretting officiously over the sex lives of other people's children, I think the belief that teenagers are "good" to the extent that they're nonsexual says a lot more about us than it does about who they are, or should be. The modern concept of childhood exists more for the benefit of adults than children; innocence is the shadow cast on them by our own guilt.
In too many American families, adolescence recapitulates Eve's temptation by the Serpent: will these little angels remain pure, or will they corrupt themselves by learning things they shouldn't know and thus, in a certain uncomfortable sense, becoming our equals? (Girls, of course, can also be accused of failing to manage a valuable resource properly...by preferring use value to exchange value, as it were.)
It's no wonder that as unease about sex increases, the ultimate symbol of "childhood innocence" becomes the fetus, or even the stem cell. According to this school of thought, children shouldn't be seen or heard; they should be imagined.
Real children, meanwhile, get punished for turning out to be human after all...despite all our good-natured attempts to treat their sexuality as something that can vaccinated against like measles, or cured like strep throat. They suffer when they try to live up to our fantasies, and they suffer when they fall short of them.
That's OK, though, because the underlying fear is not so much that children will suffer excessively because of sex, but that they won't (which, among other problematic things, would prove the Knights of Purity wrong on a fairly fundamental point).
Like the people who piously invoke the ideal of "colorblindness" in order to ignore everyday proof of racial inequality, Saletan hopes to lead us to Heaven by settling down comfortably in Hell:
It's absurd to have to say this, but judgment isn't a bad word. You can moralize without losing your soul.It hadn't occurred to me that judgment is what's been missing from the national discussion about teen sex, but Saletan surely wouldn't say it if it weren't true. Evidently, things will change for the better only if we don't.

I've currently been focusing on understanding the Design Model and wading my way through the jungle of similar terms that may or may not be discussing the same concept that Norman does.
My main confusion had been whether Design Models and Design Patterns were the same concept. Through posts to IxDA and PhD-Design listserv and direct correspondence with academics I have been gaining some insight. I'd like to acknowledge the advise of C K Vijay Bhaskar, J. Ambrose Little and Paul Ralph from IxDA; and Filippo Salustri, Ranjit Menon, Sydney Hudspeth, Terence Love from PhD-Design listserv for their comments.
Added to these posts are an email conversation between myself and the two joint authors of the paper 'Understanding and Using Patterns in Software Development' Dirk Riehle and Heinz Zulligghoven. They have helped me see that Patterns are different from Models, and have encouraged my choice of research from a visual communication position.
>This is a quick post to acknowledge comments and advice… I'll post soon on the comments and the results gained from them.<

Ahmadinejad's letter to Bush & Prophet Mohammad
Mehran Riazaty: Iran Analyst
Years after Mohammad become a Prophet he sent letters to a number of neighboring monarchs and rulers inviting them to Islam. He told his companions "Allah has sent me as a mercy for all humankind (and not just for Muslims). Do not differ amongst yourself like 'Isa's (Jesus) disciples. Take this message of truth to everyone."
On April 5, the Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA) reported that a member of Iran's Parliament, Ezatollah Josefijan, said last night in a meeting Ahmadinejad said we are acquainted with a situation which is directed by invisible power. Ahmadinejad added that this situation will go on for another seven or eight years.
The main question is that who really wrote this letter? Ahmadinejad could not send this letter to President Bush without supports of powerful Ayatollahs. This letter was most likely written by the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei to advise President Bush and also buy more time delaying the United Nations Security Council sanction on Iran.
Yesterday, Mehr (2) and many other Farsi news agencies published Ahmadinejad's letter to President Bush. The content of letter was mostly concentrated on the war in Iraq, Israel and Holocaust, the responsibility of world leaders, the nuclear dossier and the security council, on religion, Saddam Hussein, the truth about lying, the world in general, and the end of liberal democracy.
Webnevesht reported, in regard to Ahmadinejad's letter to Bush, Mohammad Ali Abtahi, close advisor of former President Mohammad Khatami, said Ahmadinejad holds himself responsible for; Invitation to Godly, spiritual and Islamic values. This kind of correspondence probably inspired by the Prophet' letters to the heads of the old world, today in a period obviously different from what the Prophet was standing in and in a completely different world, neither results in the salvation and deliverance of Mr Bush nor helps the country out of the global dangerous problems it is facing currently especially now that the Islamic Republic of Iran has lost the last resisting card for any direct negotiations with the US.
On December 18, 05 IRIB News Agency reported Ahmadinejad in a gathering on the campus of Tarbiat-e Modarres University stressed Iran's right to peaceful nuclear technology and said those owning this technology has no right to deprive other nations of such a right. He strongly condemned the oppression being done to nations by suppressive powers under different pretexts. He said "they suppress any voice under the pretext of maintaining freedom of expression and impose medieval values and manners in modern disguise on nations." The president then expressed his confidence that all kinds of oppression would come to an end once rule of Islam prevails in the whole world. READ MORE

Sorry for the lack of posts for the month of February. Not only has it been what feels like a super busy month (including a trip to Ottawa to go skating on the canal and visit with old friends) but I have been having computer problems. They did a temporary fix on it so I could use it but not to do anything strenuous or it would crash again. Well it did crash yet again but the replacement part has come in and it is going to the computer doctor tomorrow (currently typing this post on Sean's computer hence why no pictures). Hopefully this means I will be doing more frequent postings but that might have to wait until the end of March since we are moving mid-March and still have to pack!
There has been quite a bit of knitting going on behind the scenes this month. I have finished the baby blanket for Karyn's baby girl; all that is left to do is to block it. I also have been working on my Henley with a twist and have finally gotten past the waist shaping and have split the front for the deep V neck. Sadly pictures posted will have to wait.

Lyla was due to arrive on the 16th of December,I thought for sure I would NOT make it to the 16th. After all this was my 4th and I had been having braxton hicks contractions for weeks. I remember feeling anxious to meet her yet nervous to become a mom of 4! As the the 16th came and went I grew more and more nervous of going into labor on or around Christmas and missing being home with the girls. I was scrambling to get all of my Christmas shopping done and wrapped and everything prepared for Adam. Let me add that wrapping presents while 9 months pregnant is NOT an easy task (Iam surprised that alone didnt put me into labor) My Dr had me go up to the hospital for an NST and Ultrasound and to meet with a Dr to discuss my options as I was 3 days late. The NST and Ultrasound showed that Lyla was happy where she was. My plan all along was to try for a VBAC and because of the previous C-section my options for induction was limited. I left the hospital feeling a little sad that she wasn't ready,as I was secretly hoping they would just admit me and we would get to meet her! But we left with a date December 25th.
Early Christmas Eve Morning (8 days past due) I woke up to strong contractions about 6-10 minutes apart. I woke up Adam and he frantically packed the kids up to bring to his moms and we headed to the hospital, only to be sent home a few hours later as the contractions stopped.
Christmas Day came and I was a nervous wreck all day. I was told to expect a call from Labor and Delivery around dinner time to head in. So after 4pm every time the phone rang my heart dropped. They finally called and told us to head up around 7pm. We arrived,met our awesome nurse,got checked in and went over the plan of action. Which was to insert the foley bulb to dilate my cervix and hopfuly kick start labor. So they inserted the foley (OUCH!!!) and turned down the lights and told us to get some sleep. Adam did just that, me on the other hand couldn't between the anxiety and infrequent contractions I maybe slept 3 hours.
The next day was a whole lot of painful contractions and walking around the hospital to help things along and to peek into the nursery to get a look at the sweet newborn babies. Finally sometime after lunch the Foley bulb came out, I was dilated to a 5-6 :)
We spent the next few hours breathing through painful contractions, bouncing on the birthing ball and more walking. Finally at about 8-9 centimeters I got the epidural!!!!Auntie Kelsey arrived and 2 hours and 3 pushes later our Beautiful Lyla Reese entered this world the day after Christmas at 10:59 pm weighing in at 9lbs 4oz and 21 inches long. They laid her on me and all I could do was cry. I kissed Adam and we looked at each other in amazement. I was so thankful she was here, she was healthy and she was beautiful. She is perfect!!!! I wouldn't change a thing about that day.....It was amazing!
In that moment Adam and I became the proud parents of 4 beautiful girls!
Happy Happy Birthday Lyla Reese!

I will meander on down.....there are a lot of ships coming......but I must confess, the only one that interests me is USCG Eagle.
LOL! I guess I'm a little bit a chauvinist. "Yeah, that's nice. Where's the Coast Guard ship?"

Ice Cream Cake
This is a recipe from my childhood. A food memory...the kind that takes me straight back to the afterglow in the church basement(this recipe was always made by the pastors wife).
2 boxes Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
2, half gallon containers Ice cream....whatever flavors you like
1 pkg. Oreo cookies
1/2 pint Heavy Cream
3 T Sugar
Take your ice cream out to soften. Cut your swiss rolls in half and place them around the outside of a springform pan, with the white icing facing out. Crush that package of oreo's...sprinkle about 1/3 of the crumbs on the bottom of the pan. Press down firmly. Spread in 1 of the ice cream flavors(i did cookies and cream)...smooth and press in with a offside spatula or a spoon. Sprinkle another third of the crumbs on top, press in lightly.....move on to the next flavor ice cream and smooth as before. Now top with the last of the oreo crumbs and press them in lightly. Whip the cream and sugar. pipe it onto the top of the cake with a piping bag and star tip. OR use ready whip in a can, in a pinch. Freeze for a few hours or overnight. Place in fridge 30 minutes before serving. Remove ring of pan and slice with large knife(have a cup of hot water near and stick the knife in it....wipe it clean before using. this will help it cut through the cake more smoothly.) Another good flavor combo is chocolate chip and coffee ice cream.

Can't you just SEE the love??
My 7 year old (who is the pickiest eater on the planet and who also has food allergies) was surprised to see that there were only 10 rolls left (I made 24). He asked me what happened to all the rolls. I said "well, we all had one straight out of the oven, then we all had another for dinner and I took some over to the Kenny's" "what? Why did you take some to Kenny's?" "well, because they love these rolls too and we love to share with them" "can you check with me next time? I think we gave them too many."
Divine Crescent Rolls
2 T yeast
3/4 c warm water
2 2/3 c warm water
1/4 c sugar
1 T salt
3 T vegetable oil
7-8 c flour
Dissolve yeast in 3/4 c water. Add the rest of the water and the rest of the ingredients except for the flour and mix together. Add flour one cup at a time and stir until you have to use your hands to mix it. Knead dough until incorporated. Put in bowl and cover with a towel and let rise about 1 hour.
Punch dough down and divide in half. With a rolling pin, roll out one of the dough balls into a circle about 12" in diameter. Spread dough with melted butter (about a 1/2 stick will do ya). Cut into 12 pieces (like a pizza). Roll each wedge from the fat end inward. Repeat with other dough ball. Place crescents on cookie sheets - 12 to a sheet. Cover with towel and let rise until double (30 min - 1 hr) Bake in preheated oven at 425 degrees for 10 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown on top. Brush with melted butter and serve.
Make sure you share these with friends - they'll be your friends forever!
*My son loves to eat them warmed in the micro for 10 seconds then spread with butter and cinnamon sugar.
My daughter loves them warmed and spread with her fav jelly
I just love them with butter - warmed or not - they are that stinkin' good.

DEAUVILLE, France — Deauville kicked off a cinematically successful first weekend on Friday with Yank comedy "I'm With Lucy," produced by French major Gaumont.
Director Jon Sherman delighted the crowd with a speech in French in which he admitted that although Jean-Luc Godard was an early hero, "I'm sure Godard wouldn't like my movie."
The affection in the packed auditorium was palpable when ousted Canal Plus topper and jury prexy Pierre Lescure walked in.
Christopher Nolan's "Insomnia" was a crowd pleaser, as was John Sayles' "Sunshine State." "Last Party 2000" and "The Laramie Project" gave French festgoers fodder for debates about what American society is really like.
Gallic newspapers and magazines are taking the 28th American film fest and the one-year anniversary of 9/11 as an opportunity to ask whether Hollywood's response to last year's terrorist attacks has been to produce fewer violent action films.
On Sunday afternoon, Jack Valenti gave the MPAA's $16,200 Michel D'Ornano screenwriting prize to "Hypnotized and Hysterical (Hairdresser Wanted)," directed by Claude Duty. "This is a festival that has stood the test of time," Valenti told the crowd on his 28th visit.
On his third visit to Deauville, Steven Soderbergh introduced "Full Frontal." "You may not be aware that Deauville has a very high profile in the U.S. and directors are extremely happy to be invited," he told the audience.
Tom Hanks, Sam Mendes and producers Richard and Dean Zanuck were on hand for Sunday's gala screening of "Road to Perdition." Still to come are tributes to thesps Ellen Burstyn and Harrison Ford and producer Robert Evans. Fest closes Sunday.

I love travelling and discovering new places, customs and traditions. At times I really feel the urge to leave behind my routine, to pack a bag and just go wherever my heart takes me. Unfortunately (and at the same time, thank God) I have a full-time job and only a few days of vacation per year so I can't really do what I want whenever I want. Still, I can dream of long exotic journeys while planning little trips and one day excursions.
Last Sunday, my boyfriend and I did one of those excursions. We visited Castell'Arquato, which is a magical and timeless medieval burg in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. And we are not going to stop; in fact, we're going on a two day trip to Tuscany in about 3 weeks from now. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Here's a picture of the fortress and the surroundings of Castell'Arquato.

Had to wake up the kids very early to catch the Vintage Car Grand Prix demonstration. A must for all vintage car lovers and avid photographers.
Besides the vintage car display, we witnessed the flag off by Sonny Rajah, our very own motor racing hero. We cheered on the racers as they manoeuvred their way down Connaught Drive.
It's the first time the kids were seeing real vintage cars. They were very fascinated. It's great that a few of the owners talked to them about their cars and allowed them a ride. :)
Don't forget to vote for eastcoastlife as it's only a few days left to the closing date. I engaged the help of a snake to help me get more votes. It isn't easy to manipulate it as it keep twisting here and there..... plus I was shaking with fear.
For the next few days, you will see some interesting pictures and posts of eastcoastlife.... Nude!? hmmm.....

Wikipedia says that Dia
is an international hard-discount supermarket chain of Spanish origin, which is part of the Carrefour Group.
They have two different web pages. The first one is http://www.dia.es/ :
It offers the customer special offers and products. This web page is designed for Dia's customer so that they can inform themselves about stores, products and the latest news.
Dia has another web site at http://www.diacorporate.com/diawebapp/web/home.jsp?lang=en. It informs the customer about its business in general, its concept and it provides background knowledge:
On the web page Dia is decribed as a
distribution chain which was founded in Spain in 1979 on the opening of its first store in Madrid.
- More facts about Dia are:
- At the close of 2008, the DIA Group employed 52,375 people working
- It has 6,252 located in Spain, France (under the ED banner), Portugal (under the Minipreço banner), Greece, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil and China
- Of these, 4,795 are the company's own stores
- 1,457operate as franchises
- DIA is the fifth largest franchiser in Europe
- The secret of Día's back shop is concealed in 850.000 square meters. It plays a key role in the system of Día
- In Spain operate 18 centers, each one comprises 18.000 square meters
- The incorporation of perishable goods obligates Día to divide the warehouses in chambers with controlled temperature and climate from 9 degree for the fruits and vegetables to minus 22 degrees for the frozen products.
The second web page is very interesting for us because it gives us the first hints about the Dia warehouse. We have retrieved the information from the site that Dia calls Our logistic network http://www.diacorporate.com/diawebapp/web/our-concept/warehouses.jsp
Dia uses 44 logistic platforms equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Processes of the platforms are under constant revision, always striving for continuous innovation and at the service of efficiency.
The perishable goods only stay one day in the warehouse until they arrive at the store.
Each platform moves about 95.000 bundles per day and serve about 120 stores. One of the newest developments is to pick by voice (for the preparation of the orders), a system that improves the efficiency of the employees because they know at any time where they have to address themselves to and what they have to choose.
One of Día's obsessions is to avoid that they run out of a product in the store, therefore the control of the stock is very important. Each store has to place its order to a national data centre every day which then sends the information to the warehouse assigned to the store. Within 24 hours the order is in the store and since the stores have hardly any own warehouse the truck visits them four times a week.
See: http://www.ahorrarte.com/page/noticias/id/42
To visualize this procedure we have created a chart:
Dia has implemented a management model to assure an overall efficient and effective system. This system monitors all activities in all Dia's warehouses and guarantees a capable material flow. The material flow starts form conveying products from the supplier until reaching the final consumer with the best possible quality. The system includes:
- Totally computerized management: This system allows the Group to continuously control stocks and minimize errors when preparing orders.
- Truck tracking: A fleet of GPS controlled trucks which deliver merchandize to stores on a daily basis within 12 hours of the order being submitted, thereby guaranteeing stock turnover and product freshness.
- Fresh food products treatment: Dia pays special attention to fresh food or perishable products as well as refrigerated and frozen goods. The receiving, manipulation and dispatch of these goods is carried out under conditions which are ideal for maintaining the cold chain at all times, an aspect which is vital in these products.
- Supply Chain Management: Efficient and effective management throughout the complete chain, planning to promote work in a system of continuous improvements, thereby allowing compliance with employee work time optimization objectives (productivity), the reduction of stock breakages, and guaranteeing product freshness.
- Non-perishable products treatment: Since September 2009 the Día Group uses a huge logistic warehouse in Miranda for non perishable goods with the goal to create a transport centre of the supermarket chain. The investment for the development of this project, which will be a distribution centre for the north of Spain, cost more than 9 million Euros. This warehouse is designed as a delivery hall for the supermarkets of the chain. All types of alimentary products are handled, including frozen products. The warehouse covers an area of 21.948 square meters and has 25 loading and unloading docks. It is situated close to the freeway of Bilbao to guarantee a good infrastructure.
We summarized this information from the following web sites:
Dia is facing a special problem because it offers quality products at a low price. Therefore, it is forced to carry out its distribution logistics efficiently and continuously seek improvements in order to save money. The solution for this issue was implemented in 2002 by a company called ORTEC. In this article, the company tells its success story.
Through the SHORTEC system of ORTEC, Dia has optimized the control over its fleet and continuously guard the quality and safety of its products. Additionally, Dia equipped all vehicles with special ALCOM GPS devices from Protos Communicationes, an ORTEC partner in Spain. The GPS devices allow Dia to track all their vehicles so that the company knows the exact location of every truck. Knowing the exact location of each vehicle and truck helps to control the supply chain and saves money by not losing those assets that are in transit.
What was special about the Protos GPS system, was the fact that Protos integrated its GPS devices with temperature devices. Therefore, the planner has full control, armed with not only information about the position of the trucks but also with its temperature, which is especially crucial to fresh, perishable food.

For the assignment, we had to do different layers for the foreground, mid ground, and background. I had four layers....in case you were wondering. So yeah, this is what I made. It could still use a little bit of work. Some areas are still a little messy and stuff, but oh well. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think. You're the best.
Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, I got engaged on the 9th of February! Crazy stuff! Well, I'm super stoked to get married to my bestest friend, so that's pretty cool. Maybe I'll do a post about how he asked me so I don't have to tell the story a million times. We'll see.

But despite, or maybe because of the historical trappings, Christmas at Williamsburg is always a regal affair.

Image via WikipediaJob hunting sites are filled with disheartening tales of well-educated folks who had to look for a job for over a year. This makes it seem like seniors should look for jobs alongside of finishing their final year. While this may be necessary in some cases, there are a few flaws in logic with the plan.
For one, not everyone has time for the job hunt before graduation. It is said that job hunting should be a full-time job, and with a part-time job, classes, sleep and eating, it isn't possible to cram anything else into the schedule. While senior year has the reputation of being the easiest year because that's what students try to make it, that isn't always the truth. Capstone can kill us, and its when we're forced to take those classes we've put off for four years. In fact, job hunting distracted me from my school work more than anything.
Job hunting before you can accept an offer is not really practical. If there are immediate openings, they will be filled by the person who can accept the job now, not a year from now. Meanwhile, the company isn't going to hold on to your application for much longer than six months. You will just end up reapplying.
At the beginning of senior year your resume isn't as good as it could be a year from now. I took most organization leadership positions during my senior year, and added another year of work experience.
Finally, in my opinion, if you have to look for a job for a whole year, you're doing something wrong and you need to change your methods. It's the same reason why I don't think job hunting should be a full-time job. If you are spending that much time, I think that's a sign that you need to take a break and change something. Build experience through a part-time job or volunteering. Join some networking organizations. Maybe take a few classes. Or just target the companies you apply to better.

Back in the college concrete block at Cardiff we were then taught how to draw from life or photographs using the Grid Method. It made life a little easier than just using the eye and intense concentration all the time. Soon, even the weakest artists among our class were all drawing fairly realistic Brut bottles of aftershave and our pretty life models started to look less disfigured and have breasts that weren't lopsided.
In those faraway days I did an A3+ pencil drawing of my hero Harry Chapin, an American singer songwriter, who came to play concerts for us in bombed out Belfast when most other musicians thought it too damned scary. A wonderful human being, Harry died in a car accident on the Long Island Expressway, New York in July 1981 and with his demise my pencil drawing career kinda passed away too. I just didn't have the heart to do another epic piece – nor the time either, as graphic design, advertising agency life and then Apple Macs took over my increasingly cluttered and messed up world.
Despite the drawing being a wee bit worse for wear (I accidentally sat on the bottom of it one day, crumpling it) my old schoolmate Ray kindly framed him for me and it now hangs high in my hallway.
With my art world reignited recently I initially used the Grid Method I learned in my student days for my early pastel work. More recently I confess the mortal sin of using Frisk Tracedown Graphite paper to proper plan my paintings. Some would call that cheating but I don't care. It saves me time and that's not something I have a lot of. And if it helps me get perspective right and other things in the right position well why not take advantage. It's not as if I would trace every last wrinkle on your face. And of course if you want to pit your drawing skills, en plein air, against mine you are very welcome.
So folks regardless of what some luddites might say I would recommend Frisk Tracedown Graphite paper. Make sure it says Graphite at the top as there are different versions available. I bought the A3 pack and there are five sheets of carbon inside. It can be used time and time again. It seriously is an absolute godsend for busy people.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Viral Hepatitis is a common blood borne infection that slowly destroys the liver. A person can't live without their liver, yet few know they are even infected with one of the viruses.
Building Inspector Tom Espinosa said he was stunned when he found out.
"The doctor told me, 'I have some good news and have some bad news.' She said, 'You don't have AIDS, but you have Hep C'," Espinosa said.
Longtime California politician and CPA Fiona Ma found out in her 20s, but only after she donated blood.
"I got a letter back saying that I had Hepatitis B, and that they cannot accept my blood," she explained.
Millions of Americans have chronic viral hepatitis and don't know it.
"Many people who are infected have absolutely no symptoms and that's why it's called a silent epidemic," assistant U.S. Secretary of Health, Dr. Howard Koh, said.
Hepatitis B and C are caused by different viruses and spread in different ways.
People at risk for Hepatitis B include those who have unprotected sex with an infected individual, come in contact with blood at work, share personal items such as nail clippers, a toothbrush or razor with an infected individual, or, like Ma, someone who was born to a Hepatitis B-infected mother. Those at highest risk are Asian and Pacific Islanders.
Anyone who received a blood transfusion before 1992 are at risk for Hepatitis C, which is the most common cause of sharing contaminated needles.
Both viruses can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer or even death.
"If you have liver cancer, the chance of surviving for one year in this country is less than 50 percent," said Dr. Samuel So, founder and director of the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University.
But now, experts are hoping to change the equation.
"We have the opportunity now to break the silence on hepatitis," Dr. Koh said.
On Monday, May 19, certain clinics will offer a free blood test for one or both infections. To find a clinic, visit here.
"Be sure, be tested, be free," Ma said.
"Get it taken care of, 'cause the sooner the better," Espinosa encouraged.
For those wondering if they should be tested, the CDC has a quick online assessment. For that, click here.

Civil Society is usually spoken of in the singular--as a sort of unified institutional construct with a single animus and singular organization. But is it well known that, like states and economic enterprises--civil society serves as a shorthand description for a large constellation of actors which, singularly and collectively, have assumed a critical role in global governance.
While the great global civil society actors are well known--Oxfam, Amnesty International and the like, the brunt of thew work of civil society is undertaken by a large group of organizations working from a virtually every corner of the globe. These smaller organizations serve two critical roles-. First they provide significant focus to local or regional manifestations of global issues central to their distinctive missions. Second, they communicate with other similarly situated elements of civil society to leverage their ability to serve their communities and to harmonize their actions. It is this combination of local action within a web of global issues served by local actors which amplify their effects through communication, coordination and harmonization of action/effort, helps construct both the diversity and singularity of civil society.
One such organization serving as an important element of this construct is the Institut de Drets Humans de Catalunya (English--the Human Rights Institute of Catalonia; Spanish, Instituto de Derechos Humanos de Cataluña).
The Human Rights Institute of Catalonia (IDHC) was created more than twenty years ago by a group of people committed to fighting for the progress of freedom and democracy in the world. Their aim was to join both individual and collective forces, coming from both public and private institutions, in order to expand the political, social and cultural rights of everyone.
Human Rights Institute of Catalonia, The Institute. Like other active civil society actors in this sector, the IDHC undertakes a coordinated set of projects.
The IHRC carries out three parallel. yet independent, lines of work; the promotion, consultation, and teaching of human rights.In each of these areas special attention is given to relations with other institutions, network participation and study and research activities.In the area of promotion, activities of different types are carried out on diverse themes (forgotten conflicts, rights in the city, emerging rights, human rights in the street...) but with a common objective; to spread the culture of human rights in our society in order to make effective the respect, enjoyment and guarantee of fundamental rights.With respect to its consultancy work, the IHRC offers technical and scientific support to public institutions in the development and implementation of, for example, the European Charter for the Safeguarding of Human Rights in the City. The Institute also gives its support to specific projects linked to the strengthening of the culture of human rights in civil society.As part of its work teaching human rights, the IHRC organises courses, specialist seminars, short courses for specific groups, studies and research work, analysis and evaluation projects, and conferences at the local as well as the international level.
IDHC, Activities. One of its current efforts focuses on the increasing manipulation of law and law enforcement against migrants, especially in the south of Spain. The IDHC has been concerned that the economic crisis has made it harder for some to resist the temptation to use set of aggressive interpretive and enforcement methods to effectively criminalize migrant status. See, Manifesto MEDIDAS RACISTAS Y XENÓFOBAS: RESPUESTA POLÍTICA ANTE LA CRISIS Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos de Andalucía (APDHA) y el Instituto de Derechos Humanos de Cataluña (IDHC) (7th of May 2010)
I was fortunate enough to be able to speak recently about the work of the IDHC with its President , Jaume Saura Estapà. Dr. Saura Estapa has served on the faculty of law of the University of Barcelona since 1990. Professor Saura Estapà was kind enough to speak at length about the activities of IDHC, its organization, goals, mission, and interactions with other civil society actors, government and related stakeholders.

Seminar: Writing Your Novel
Mindy Friddle
How do you go about constructing a novel? Where do you start? How do you avoid getting bogged down in the middle? Some novelists balk at the idea of adhering to a framework, and don't discover what happens in their novels until they've completed a draft. Others find following guidelines and rough outlines frees them up to focus on the flow of ideas. It's helpful to discover which kind of writer you are. In this seminar, we'll explore strategies not only for constructing a novel, but ways to navigate the immensity of such a long work. Using in-class writing exercises, samples from master writers, and discussion, you will be inspired and motivated to start—or finish-- your novel.
Note: Students are asked to bring along one favorite novel to the seminar. The novel can be of any kind—literary, contemporary, classic, mainstream, thriller, horror, young adult, romance—the only stipulation: a published novel you have read and count among your favorites.
