This is a mini-epic of a post. Settle in. I spent yesterday wandering around Somerville Open Studios. I'd wanted to check out the Artisan's Asylum which promised robots.

So last year (and pretty much forever), my reaction to highly stressful or upsetting situations would be to eat. I would feed my sadness with food. This year, apparently I no longer feel the need to turn to food when upset. I'm not really sure why this change has occurred, but I've had absolutely no […]

PKU-UCL inter-university module in the Cross-Cultural Health Humanities
An inter-university module in the Cross Cultural Medical/Health Humanities, taught by historians, philosophers and global health specialists from PKU and UCL, will run this week at the Yenching Academy of Peking University.
Chinese Film and the Medical Humanities workshop
4 March 2014
In the context of the UCL initiative for the creation of a Chinese Medical Humanities, on the 22nd and 23rd February,2014, the collaborate workshop (with Peking University [PKU] Institute of Medical Humanities and King's College London [KCL]) convened international experts to reflect on the use of film in teaching the Medical Humanities.
Building on the experience of an existing UCL/PKU course on Film and the Body taught together with experts across the three institutions, we explored the potential of film for speaking to the challenges of the discipline. The workshop anticipates a larger conference to be held across the institutions involved, looking at the future of the teaching of Medical Humanities in and about China and what it can contribute to the wider field.* It is envisaged that the proceedings of both workshop and conference will generate publications and online open access teaching materials.
*Medical Humanities in China, Peking University Institute for Medical Humanities, University Health Science Center 15-17th October, 2015, Convenors Prof. Guo Liping (PKU) and Dr Vivienne Lo (UCL). Download a flyer here.

If the United States ever deals with another massive terrorist assault, the survival of thousands may depend upon one wonky, eight-syllable word: Interoperability.
For police officers, firefighters, paramedics and others arriving at the scene of a major disaster, it means being able to speak directly and instantly with people you need. It turns out this is harder than it sounds.
Last September's terrorist attacks raised anew questions asked after the bombings of the World Trade Center in 1993 and a federal office building in Oklahoma City in 1995: would emergency first responders from dozens of jurisdictions and agencies be able to efficiently exchange information to save lives and prevent destruction?
If an attack happens in Delaware or Michigan, chances the answer is yes. Both states have received high marks for developing statewide wireless networks that let local police, fire, medical and other emergency personnel to talk seamlessly with each other and with state and federal responders.
But anti-terror experts in government and the policy community say it could take as long as 20 years to ensure that every U.S. resident lives in an area where multiple public safety teams can readily communicate.
"We have to be prepared. Communications is the key," says Richard Sheirer, who retired as New York City's Emergency Management director in March.
Robert E. Lee Jr. of the Public Safety Wireless Network (PSWN), a joint project of the Justice and Treasury Departments, says states are moving more quickly after Sept. 11 to address the problem.
But reallocating radio frequency for stressed public safety systems is a slow and complex process. Setting up the infrastructure to use it properly costs serious money.
Lee says one PSWN estimate, now a few years old, puts the price of a smooth, secure nationwide emergency communications network at $18 billion.
Michigan alone spent $230 million developing its system over the last seven years. The state's outlay doesn't include the $3,000 local subscribers will have to shell out for each piece of handheld or car-mounted radio equipment they'll need to use it.
The money must come from somewhere. One likely source: the $3.5 billion President Bush has proposed for state and local first responder aid through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The aid would be welcome in Ohio, where officials are committed to a $272 million statewide network scheduled for completion by 2004. Emergency Management Agency director Dale Shipley says state legislators weary of trying to make ends meet question the project's value on fiscal grounds.
"The funding support for the anti-terrorism effort may give us the financial capability to do something. We have known for a long time what we needed to do," Shipley says. Ohio is already talking with its neighbors to see how to hook their systems together.
Spectrum First
Many states that would like their emergency personnel to be able to talk to each other are awaiting the outcome of Washington, D.C. battles over expanding the radio spectrum devoted to public safety.
"To build an interoperable statewide radio system involves a lot of radio spectrum. In many parts of the country, that's not available. Regardless of the amount of funding and planning you may do, if you don't solve the spectrum problem, you're not there yet," says Robert Gurss of the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials.
Television stations currently block out some of the frequencies that are supposed to be allocated to public safety in more than half of the nation's 84 largest cities. These stations may continue to do so until at least the end of 2006 under current law.
"The mechanics of it are complex but the government issues are quite simple," says legal counsel Juan Otero of the National League of Cities (NLC). Otero wants the "Big Seven" state and local government organizations like NLC and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) to put pressure on Congress to stop "unacceptable" federal and telecommunications industry foot-dragging to clear space for public safety.
NCSL's Task Force on Protecting Democracy made spectrum needs a top priority when it made recommendations to Homeland Security director Tom Ridge last month.
"This is critical. If we don't resolve interoperability issues, people are going to get hurt," the panel's chairman, Sen. Richard Moore of Massachusetts, told Stateline.org.

There is no denying that consumer preference for stylish, quality natural products can be seen in all areas of interior design. Wool sets the bar for all other carpets and has advantages that synthetics cannot match.
Nothing compares to the luxury of a soft wool carpet under your feet. Also, the natural crimp of wool creates millions of tiny pockets that trap air and act as an ideal insulator.
The surface of a wool fiber is covered by a thin protective membrane that prevents water from readily penetrating into your carpet. This same membrane which is so waterproof still allows the fiber to absorb moisture in vapor form and as a result, makes it resistant to static electricity.
Wool is a naturally soil and stain resistant fiber. Its fundamental structure is that of overlapping scales which keep dust and dirt near the surface of the pile, where it can easily be released by vacuuming.
The natural crimp of wool allows it to spring back quickly after compression and retain its original shape. This crucial characteristic ensures woolen carpets look good for longer, even in high traffic areas.
Wool is sustainable, biodegradable and a rapidly renewable resource that has the least environmental impact of all the carpet fibers. It is the only carpet fiber made without petroleum.
The high moisture content of the fiber will not support combustion making it difficult to ignite and self- extinguishable. Charring can easily be brushed away. In addition to being extremely safe, wool carpets retain their appearance even after minor burn damage.
Allergies are on the rise universally. Wool fibers are too long and too course to be inhaled and, being a natural fiber, won't give off harmful emissions. Wool has a breathable fiber structure that does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites.
Fluffing, or balls of fluff, is completely natural on a new carpet. These are loose bits of fiber leftover from the manufacturing process. The fluff will likely fill your vacuum bag the first few times but it is not harmful in any way.
Tracking vs. Permanent Shading. "Tracking" is the imprint left by footprints on your carpet which is more common on the plusher cut pile surfaces and disappears with vacuuming. Carpet is most prone to tracking in high traffic areas and should be given extra attention during routine vacuum cleaning.
All cut pile carpets will develop lighter or darker patches over time known as "shading" or "watermarking." It is caused by the permanent bending of the carpet pile fibers which then reflect the light differently, much like velvet. The extent to which shading occurs cannot be accurately predicted or prevented and is most often related to the location of use rather than the type of carpet construction. Shading does not affect the wear or durability of the carpet and is not recognized as a manufacturing flaw or defect.
Fading. Technical advances in UV resistant window panes have greatly reduced fading, however; like all natural textiles, your wool carpet will fade or change color over time in areas consistently exposed to sunlight.
Crush marks refer to noticeable light and dark areas, often in strips. This is more likely to occur with the plusher pile carpets and is caused by the weight of the carpet in a large roll pressing down on the layers underneath and bending the fibers. It can also happen when two rolls that have been rolled at different tightness are laid next to each other. Over time and with regular vacuuming and general foot traffic, this effect will diminish, though it can take 3-6 months or so for the marks to disappear entirely. This is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Indentations from heavy furniture. Place furniture cups under the legs of heavy furniture and regularly shift the furniture a few inches one way or another to give the pile a chance to recover. To revive
flattened pile, you can use a warm steam iron over a towel laid on top of the carpet. Hold the steam iron gently to the towel and use the steam button to inject steam - do not press the iron down on the towel as this could leave gloss marks on the carpet underneath.
Insect Damage occurs where food, animal or plant substances are present near a wool carpet. Preventive measures include regular and thorough vacuuming, especially in areas around and under furniture that is not moved frequently, and along base boards. The Medium Green and Light Green Nature's Carpet products are treated to deter insect damage and we offer a five-year insect-resist warranty for those products. The Dark
Green Nature's Carpet products are not treated for insect resistance, and therefore the insect-resist warranty does not apply to the Dark Green line of Nature's Carpet.
Regardless of fiber type, regular cleaning and maintenance are needed to keep your carpet looking great year after year.
Dry vacuum approximately once a week. This will prevent soil from becoming embedded in the pile, causing accelerated wear. Over-vacuuming can cause fuzzing, while under-vacuuming can cause matting. It is important to find a balance in-between.
A "beater-bar" type vacuum (rotating brush such as an upright Hoover) is effective for lifting the pile, pulling away dirt particles and removing shedding fibres. It is important to adjust the height setting of the beater-bar for positive results, according to the pile-height of your particular carpet.
There are some popular vacuum models that are advertised to have amazingly powerful suction and beater bars, however, they can be extremely damaging to your wool carpet and are not recommended. Such vacuums may be great for hard surfaces, but they also have the ability to shred wool fibres, destroy the appearance of wool carpet and void the warranty on your carpet.
Promptly attend to spills and stains. If left unattended, the spill will chemically bond with the pigment of the carpet fiber making removal extremely difficult without causing damage to the carpet pile. When necessary, have a reputable operator professionally steam clean your carpet.
Never rub, brush or massage a wool carpet when it is damp or wet. This will only damage the carpet pile and spread the stain further.
Prior to using any of the stain removal methods listed below, ensure you have blotted up any excess liquid spills as noted above. This is a critical step - the more colour or moisture you remove out of a stain with paper towels, the easier it will be to remove any remaining residue. And remember - NEVER rub wet carpet.
Note: If using lukewarm water, ensure you have blotted up as much excess moisture from stain as possible with a paper towel before gently squeezing any water onto a stain and then blotting up with paper towel.

Many of you might already know these following two, but since I haven't mentioned them here it's about time: My friend Mark Tucker just started his own blog, and I wish it was me egging him on for a couple of years that finally did it. But alas… In any case, I hope he'll publish some of the observations concerning contemporary photography he has shared with me via email over the past four years. Plus, Vincent Laforet just started his blog - I'm sure you've all seen his photography from the Olympics in Beijing.

So you want to start an RPG actual play podcast?
Great idea!! Rpg podcasts are really hot right now. just think of the story your party can tell about evil wizards and warrior maidens !!! Podcast and RPGs are a lot of fun to make!! So what are you waiting for? This article will point out some things you can expect from this process. At the bottom of this article, I have a list of tips on being an RPG Podcast producer
Have a great concept for your podcast
Just like running a game of Dungeons and Dragons, A podcast takes a little bit of prep. Some Gamemasters plan out every single detail. Some fly by the seat of their pants. Or if you are like me its a little of both. Podcasting is very similar. I know more than one podcast where every word is scripted like a play or a movie. Others will be recorded chaos. whatever you decide to do you are going to need a great concept.
You are going to hear me say this a few times "Content is King" The stronger your content the more listeners you will keep. (Getting the listeners in a different story) Make sure your idea stands out. having the DM Run another Dungeon Crawl from that module from the 80s will only go so far (That and there may be copyright issues) Have a Unique idea that is all yours.
By the way, the whole "Getting Drunk and playing D&D has been done a lot so if you are going to go that route bring something more to the show than vodka
Hosting your RPG Actual Play Podcast
There are all kinds of hosting companies. You could code your own RSS feed but I found that paying a hosting company who specialises in podcasts works best. I am a fan of Libsyn. They are easy to use hand do a lot with your RSS feed that would take me forever to code myself. Oh and their customer service Rocks (They do not pay me I am just a happy customer)
It takes time to edit the show
Some people think we just hit record then publish. There is a ton of editing to do. I figure that my podcast takes 5 hours production for every hour of published content.(You can reduce that ratio by practice or good planning ) I highly recommend that you set aside some time to work a little bit every week. Personally, I'm up at 5 AM every day before work, doing something for the show.
How long should an RPG Actual Play Podcast Be?
it's easy to have a game session take four to six hours in one session. However, your listener is not going to stay listening to that long. I have already done the research for you. My listeners want between 30 Min to an hour per episode. This means that a single game night we a get anywhere from two to three episodes. (We remove a lot of content)
But do not take my word for it .. .ask your listeners to do a poll on twitter.
You don't need an expensive microphone or software.
I know I know, you need to kit out your game studio like a 7th Level Palidin on a shopping spree. But don't fall for that.
I have been podcasting for a very long time. I know more than one podcaster that is all about the whiz-bang microphone and top end studio software, And yet their show is not any fun. It is better to have great content and crappy equipment than to have spent all the money so your crappy show is a very good sounding pile of shit. We are still trying to make ends meet with the show. However, with patience and a few backers, we are going to slowly add to our equipment but we need to have better content first.
Say it with me "Content is King/Queen"
The first season of Star-Fall was recorded on my phone. Yah that is right my phone. The sound quality is not horrible and its portable. Get your show going then work on upgrading.
Here is some Free/Cheap software to help with the editing
Garageband (OSX comes on every mac)
Audacity (Free and Cross-platform)
Ardour (Cross-Platform Pay what you want)
Pro-tip : Youtube has video lessions on all the software above.
Rpg Podcast is not an overnight success
Unless you have a HUGE budget to advertise before you even publish forget about the concept of being an overnight success. Podcasting is not a sprint. Or a Jog or even a hike. it's more of a long journey where you are not sure where the castle is located. It's about the random encounters along the way and having fun. It's far too common for a podcaster to start up something and notice they only have 10 downloads for their first episode and give up. It takes time. As long as your notice your downloads slowly growing you are doing fine.
Copyright is not your friend unless you are the creator
So by now, you should know that you should not be playing your favourite music in the background when recording a game. There are a few other IP issues you should be aware of before you hit record. Such as much as your rules lawyer player wants to read the spellcasting rules for Shadowrun 4th Edition out loud to prove a point. Unless you want to talk to real lawyers with a real lawsuit DONT!! Edit that out!! The text in the rules are copyrighted and you should avoid it like a first level cleric avoids a Black Dragon.
As an artist, I get Real angry if someone uses my artwork without a pre-arranged contract or permission. This is not better to ask for forgiveness scenario. If you need artwork for your game look up public domain images and try your hand at photoshop or contact an artist to do it for you (Hint Hint)
Putting the famous logo of your favorite game on your website has some serious potential for lawsuits. It implies they are endorsing you when they are not. A company MUST defend their trademark like a dragon guards a hoard. They have no choice but to contact their lawyers to deliver the legal smackdown on you. They are not being evil its just the rules
Useful Links
How to get paid for your RPG podcast
How do you like the idea of being paid to be a gamemaster? Being a gamemaster or running a podcast is hard work. Why should we not get paid? There are a few ways to get paid my Favorite is Patreon. This service allows your listeners to subscribe to your show. This has been very good for us as it keeps our show up and running, At the time of writing this we make double what it costs to make the show. The rest go for Pizza and beer for the cast (And computer upgrades)
RPG Podcasting Tips you are not going to find in any book.
have a backup recorder. RPGs are very impromptu if your mic dies for some reason you are never going to be able to have that moment again. Use your phone recorder as a backup recording device.
Get involved with the RPG podcasting community. Other podcasts are NOT your competition they are your allies. A show that does the same kind of show as you have listeners that would love your show. Reach out say Hi.. most are willing to help. That said ... help other podcasters!
Contribute don't Distribute.
If you are on twitter do more than post links to your show .. talk about RPGs as a whole. Get into conversations with other podcasters and RPG lovers about their games. if you must have a formula for this a good ratio is 10 RPG tweets for every one link to your show.
Record 5-10 Episodes before publishing
It's really hard to keep up with the publishing schedule. If you get behind you are going to lose listeners. We did not do this and I'm busting my ass even with an assistant editor (Who ROCKS BY THE WAY )to not fall behind. It's not uncommon to have an entire season ready to go before publishing.
You may have quiet fans
Just the other day I was thinking that nobody cared about my show when someone random at work told me they loved the show. So fans may not reach out to you.
Figure out if you are going to be Clean or Explicit and stick with it. Explicit has a limited range vs Clean. But clean is more work because you have to edit out the cursing or get everyone really good at not cursing in the first place.
The GM should not be the one controlling the recording equipment. This took me a while to get. WOW does it make a big difference to the game as a whole to let someone else control the microphone
. Now I can focus on being a good gamemaster and not a sound tech.
Fun anymore Rule If you re making no money whatsoever. but you are having fun!!! Then keep going. The moment this becomes a job stop. Your listeners can tell.

In the rare instance that product is requested to be returned, please make sure to call for a return authorization number (RMA). This RMA# must be shown on the outside of the returned package. We recommend using UPS or insured mail for returns. Because we are not able to actually package and make the shipping arrangements, we are not responsible for shipping or handling costs on returned items or for items that never make it back to our facility.

Our knowledgeable and well experienced staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and adherence to ethical standards are the fundamentals that insure our customers receive quality products and service. We manufacture only in the United States under strict USP quality control and follow FDA guidelines to insure the optimum in safety and reliability.
Our commitment to quality is exemplified by our assurance of excellence in four primary areas: raw materials, testing, processing, and R & D.
Raw Materials (Ingredients): Quality begins with the raw materials. All of our raw material suppliers are prequalified: investigating and auditing their facilities, processes, and standards. Because of our many years of experience in the industry, we have established relationships with the best growers and manufacturers. Most importantly: Every ingredient must have a certificate of analysis, is quarantined upon arrival at our facilities, and undergoes rigorous inspection before use.
Testing: Utilizing state-of-the-art testing equipment we are able to maintain rigorous and efficient testing procedures throughout a products' complete manufacturing process. Testing starts with our raw materials and continues through each step of the production process; ending with a reviewed analysis of the completed product. Specific tests include: Microbiological screening for bacteria (including Staphylococcus and E.coli), yeast, and mold; mineral and metal analysis; potency verification; and testing for tablet disintegration, friability, shelf-life stability, fill-weight, and hardness.
Processing: It's not just the testing of our products that contributes to their quality. The actual processing procedures which are responsible for closely monitoring their production, are just as, if not more significant. Our procedures carefully follow product production from procurement of raw materials to finished product shipments. All products are tested and inspected at intervals during manufacturing. We utilize large inspection tables that enable automated visual inspection of every finished capsule and tablet. In addition, our strict follow-up analysis verifies that the potency of each tablet and capsule is accurate.
R & D: Product development: This is our strength. It represents what we feel is one of our distinct advantages over others. Because of our years of experience and long standing industry relationships: We know the territory – from the latest in scientific developments to where and how to buy the best raw materials.
Our top R & D personnel bring over 31 years of industry expertise to the table. They have spent considerable time working closely with physicians, which has contributed to their wealth of knowledge about nutritional and botanical ingredients. Together they offer the kind of savvy formulating that is uniquely successful. Effectively, they evaluate the appropriateness of ingredient combinations and have the technical know-how to put them together in the ideal manner. With a dedication to innovation, they create custom blended OneLifeUSA formulas that are known for their ability to provide the best balance between science and nature.
Because science leads our way, we have a track record of producing top selling dietary supplements. They sell because they work. Science indicated that they would. Our R & D has a commitment to the best practices, attention to detail, and cost-effectiveness that comes from expertise, not cutting corners.
Last But Not Least: Our lab is proud to be NPA GMP-Certified. The NPA (Natural Products Association) established its certification program in order to set and maintain high standards for the industry. This provides assurance that our manufacturing processes have been thoroughly inspected by a third party auditor. Because of these stringent procedures you can be confident in the quality of the ingredients, the manufacturing procedures, and the preciseness of the product label vs. ingredient content for all of our products.
We go to greater lengths than what is federally required; being the only company to manufacture in micro-batches that sell-out within weeks. Therefore, our products are not stored or warehoused for long periods of time; insuring our customers the freshest possible products. In addition, our money back satisfaction guaranteed promise is a further indication of our commitment to quality you can trust.

The Harry Potter Generation
As I walked out of the darkened movie theater after seeing the final Harry Potter movie I felt like a chapter of my life had been closed. I started my Harry Potter journey in middle school with a much loved and very tattered set of hardback books, and finished more than a decade later as a grown woman, a wife and a mother who could barely squeeze in the time to see a two hour movie. That's right, I'm part of the Harry Potter Generation. A slice of the population that can directly correspond the events in Harry's world to major events in their own lives. My memories of my youth, my college days, my honeymoon, even the first few months with my newborn son will always be indelibly etched into my memory side by side with the books and movies of the Potter world.
A Bookworm Finds Her Match
As a kid I'm surprised I didn't develop some sort of back disorder because I loaded my backpack down with books so heavily I should have had a pack mule for school. Add to this my "around the house" bag which was also stuffed full of books, because who can read just one at a time, and you could say I lifted a lot of weights as a child. Around the time I was an awkward, gangling sixth grader J.K. Rowling came out with her first book in the U.S. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". All it took was one look at the cover, just a glimpse at the first page and this self-proclaimed dork who watched Star Trek instead of Barney as a child, was hooked. I shuttered myself away in a corner and wandered the narrow streets of Diagon Alley and snuck with Harry through the corridors of Hogwarts, only occasionally coming up for air for other activities. Looking back though, why did I bother? I mean, my other hobbies ended in such drastically ugly costume choices.
The Birth of a Film Titan
What Potter fan wasn't excited about the news that Rowling's beloved books would be made into films? While years had passed since I first happened upon the books, and I had changed quite a bit, I was still thrilled, but apprehensive about the books being made into films. I mean, what book lover doesn't shudder with fear at the thought of a much loved piece of literature being systematically dissected and disemboweled on the big screen? Fortunately, I had other things to distract. Things like getting a boyfriend, whether or not my hair needed to be crimped, and maybe the occasional five minutes for math homework. Fortunately I had another Potter fan, and one of the best people I've ever met to keep me on the straight and narrow. We went to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" together and for two hours my head was full of bigger and better things than wondering if that senior was going to ask me out on a date. Thank God for good friends, and superb film adaptations.
It's Funny but Those Potter Kids Keep Getting Older...
And so do I! By the time I had turned around twice I had teleported to college, without any splinching might I add. I kept thinking, wow, those Potter kids are getting older. Then I'd look in a mirror and realize, hey, so am I. Like many others I said "wow, Hermione's getting busty". Then I tried to put on a tank top from the back of my closet only to find I couldn't get it over my own chest. Talk about karmic retribution. During my years in college I saw numbers three and four of the Harry Potter movies come out, and though they are darker than their predecessors, I still remember them with a fond lightheartedness. These were the last movies before the Voldemort really hit the fan for Harry, so to speak, and these were the last films in the series which I viewed free from worry,care and responsibility. While I was liable for my grades, I didn't have to worry about much else. Making friends came easily, my housing was paid for, and the only dragon I had to face was a legally blind writing teacher who made us print all of our assignments in size 26 Arial font.
Then They Grew Up...
By the time the fifth Harry Potter movie, "The Order of the Phoenix" was hitting theaters I was weeks away from being a married woman. That senior I obsessed about during the first movie? He did ask me out, and we stuck it out all those years, even through college, to get married in 2007. But I didn't care if we had to postpone the honeymoon, I wasn't missing "The Order of the Phoenix". It's not like I thought Sirius Black would reach out and hex me, but by now it had become a personal tradition, a pact to stick it out through all seven movies in the theater. So a week before I got married I sat in quiet anticipation in a dark theater with some friends and logged another chapter of my life side-by-side with Harry. Two weeks later, on the sunkissed beaches of Hawaii, I sat by my new husband, face buried deeply in the final book of the Potter saga. Of course, he expected nothing less.
7/11...It All Ends
Or so proclaimed the stark movie posters of the final chapter of the Harry Potter film saga. Only a handful of months before I managed to convince a friend to leave her three month old daughter and my six month old son with their fathers to enjoy a few child free hours at the movie theater. Only six months later my husband and I left our now walking and semi-coherently talking son with the babysitter and headed out to the final Harry Potter movie, not to mention the only one of the series my husband had ever seen. I'm still not sure what motivated him, but I have to admit I'm so proud he only fell asleep for about five minutes. (Breaks out the tarps for the slung tomatoes from Potter fans everywhere). Ten years ago I started watching these films as a much younger, much slimmer, much carefree version of myself. It's funny how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same. Harry grew to understand the awful truth of his life and the responsibility he carried. I put aside childish things and got a job, a house, a husband and a child. Harry faced his, quite literal, inner demons and vanquished them. I at least try to do the same. No matter how I look back on my formative years I always have a strange sense of having an "imaginary friend" of sorts in Harry Potter, as I imagine many people my age do. I'll always have Potter in my memories and my heart, and am so glad I had such a magnificent set of characters tied to some of the biggest, and best memories of my life.

One day, I got an email from a reader named Ryan inviting me to try their Tapsilog in Bacoor Cavite. He sounded very proud of their tapsilog and he claimed that it will be the best tapsilog that I will ever try. It sounded promising, so I decided to visit their tapsilogan.
Laidz tapsilogan is a small tapsilogan located in Greentown Homes in Mambog Bacoor Cavite. It is a home business established by Ms. Adelaida Cadiz hence the name Laidz Tapsilogan. Ms. Adelaida is a retired teacher so she decided to put up a small home-based business. The person who emailed me was Ryan Cadiz, Ms. Laidz Son.
They put-up their tapsilogan in-front of their house. Thier house is located along the main street so it is a great location. Finding the place won't be a problem once you get to the gate of Greentown Homes because the tricycle drivers know the place and can give you directions.
It was a small place, just a couple of tables and several chairs. They cook their tapsilog inside their house. The place was clean and well maintained. It was also very nice of Ms Laidz when she offered their electric fan to us because it was a bit humid that night.
Now the food.
Of course we have to try their tapsilog. Their tapsilog comes in two sizes, the resular tapsilog and the Supertapsi. Supertapsi = Double Order in a single plate. Also I tried the longsilog. But before eating and while waiting for our orders, they served us the most delicious free soup that I have tasted! I mean it! It did not taste like any other free soups out there. It tasted like a good beef nilaga or something! This food trip is starting good.
I intended not to tell them that I will be paying a visit. Just to pretend to be a normal walk-in customer. But as soon as I took out the camera and started taking photos. They Immediately noticed and asked if I was Dencio! Cover Blown! Sayang! Surprise sana! :)
Tapsilog P45 Tapa-Sinangag-Itlog
The tapsilog was good. I see now why they are so proud of their tapsilog! What they claimed was true. Although I still Love Matys! Hahahaha! :p But this one is promising. It was tender, juicy and very flavorful. I could say that I can level it to SEX's tapsilog! The serving was big enough and it was Cheap! :) A must Try!
Longsilog P39 Longanisa-Sinangag-Itlog
The longsilog did not disappoint either. It was sweet and spicy, crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Good!
Sisig P55
They also have a new offering. Sizzling Sisig! It was ok but the plate could have been hotter. :) It was not sizzling anymore when served :)
I should say that Laidz tapsilog has a potential to become a successful tapsilogan. They only have to introduce their tapsilog outside of the village and on to the main roads. This place is a combination of the great tapsi of SEX and the Hiddenness on the Hidden Tapsihan! :)
Here is the menu of Laidz Tapsilogan. As you can see, they already tapped the power of the internet by putting up their own multiply site!
Last Stop on my Tapsilog Series… Rufos Tapa! :)
Lastly, I will correct my last post.. This one is not in Imus but Bacoor Cavite! :)
Hanggang Sa Muli! Paalam! :)

By Dan "Get Off Me" George
This Saturday night, a mixed martial arts legend will look to further cement his legacy while a rising prospect and undefeated fighter will try not to let Georges down and become the next 185lbs sensation. Somebody's 0 in the Octagon has to go when Champion Anderson Silva defends his middleweight title against Chris Weidman at UFC 162.
Come along as we head to Las Vegas and breakdown some of the undercard as well as all of the main card bouts for Zuffa's latest 2013 PPV offering. All betting lines courtesy of BestFightOdds, as usual.
Undercard bouts:
Seth Baczynski (-280) vs Brian Melancon (+240)
Melancon makes his UFC debut as the +250 underdog after a 1-1 record in Strikeforce against a -300 Seth Baczynski. "The Polish Pistola," who is built like a middleweight, will enjoy a 7 inch height advantage and should be able to keep the fight standing to compliment his striking advantage in this bout. Melancon has yet to be finished and fight goes the distance at -195 is a fairly safe prop option for a single bet. Baczynski makes the parlay.
Dave Herman (+200) vs Gabriel Gonzaga (-240)
Coming in at the same price as he did against Big Nog, Dave Herman is looking to keep his spot on the UFC roster and is worth some consideration here. Since his return, Gabriel Gonzaga's biggest win has come against Ben Rothwell in Brazil, but in his last outing Gonzaga was quickly dispatched by Travis Browne. If Herman can keep this fight standing and exploit Napao when he shoots in (like Browne did) we may have the makings for an upset. Herman at +200 for the upset win, which may later be overturned for you know what.
Main Card PPV:
Tim Boestch (+105) vs Mark Munoz (-125)
Both fighters are looking to bounce back from respective tough losses in their last outings. Both fighters also seem to posses similar skill sets with strong wrestling and powerful striking. Picking a victor here is an exercise in futility, but -160 that the judges need to decide this one is never a bad idea when two wrestlers are trying to implement their game plan in a 3 round fight. Prop fight goes to decision -160.
Cub Swanson (-235) vs Denis Siver (+195)
Siver is coming off his most dominating performance to date (over Nam Phan) which improved his record at featherweight to a perfect 2-0. Swanson, on the other hand, has quietly knocked out three of his last four opponents and will surely be thinking title shot…or not….if he finds a way to derail Siver in this fight. As the +180 underdog, Siver is worth the risk more than laying -225 for Swanson, but the likelihood that this fight starts round 3 at -180 is a happy medium with these two top featherweights. Prop for FOTN should pay around 4 or 5 to 1 seeing how both fighters have been involved in FOTN contests multiple times. Prop -180 fight starts round 3.
Tim Kennedy (-150) vs Roger Gracie (+130)
Roger Gracie will come in as a slight +120 underdog against fellow UFC newbie and former Strikeforce middleweight contender Tim Kennedy. I may be wearing blinders here, but if Tim Kennedy could go 5 rounds with Jacare and not get submitted, the likelihood that he can stay out of trouble against an equally dangerous yet far less experienced MMA fighter in Roger Gracie seems very likely. Couple this with the fact that Kennedy's most recent losses have come in title fights and the allure of a -150 to win becomes hard to ignore. Kennedy keeps the fight standing and outworks Gracie for the win, maybe even finishing Roger if his striking has not improved since the fight with King Mo. Kennedy -150 makes the parlay.
Frankie Edgar (-600) vs Charles Oliveira (+450)
Hovering above -500, the question over whether or not Frankie Edgar can win this fight is not nearly as compelling as the pick'em odds that this fight ends by decision (or not). Franky could catch Oliveira like Swanson did or he could control the fight and use his wrestling to grind out a decision win like he has done many a time at 155. This is Frankie's comeback fight of sorts, a fight that is his to lose and even at -500, when combined with a few other heavy favorites, get's you close to even money. Frankie makes the parlay.
Anderson Silva (-220) vs Chris Weidman (+200)
There is only one reason that Chris Weidman is being touted as the man to dethrone Anderson Silva and that is Chael Sonnen. Those who believe Weidman can win subscribe to the notion that Chris will be able to emulate the 5 out of 7 rounds that Chael was able to win against the Spider, but this time not fall short in the process. Where Chael failed due to his lack of submission defence in his first title shot, Weidman is given such a good chance by many because of his BJJ credentials and performance against the likes of Demian Maia in the past, where he was able to use his wrestling while simultaneously controlling one of the best grapplers in the UFC at any weight class to win. Weidman has proved he can defend submissions as well as create opportunities from top control to end fights. There are considerable variables in this fight, but the most important if you are thinking of picking Weidman will be, exactly how long will Herb Dean allow Weidman to stay inside Silva's guard when the fight inevitably goes to the ground? Dean is considered one of the best in the business, but it is the lack of clarity as to when a fight should be stood up that may cause this fight to be next to impossible to predict.
Silva has the decided advantage in the striking department, but if he is forced to fight off his back for long periods during the fight, the judges will definitely give Weidman the win. If Herb Dean resets the fighters often, however, the likelihood Silva is able to catch Weidman increases to the point where -240 feels like a gift. Weidman +605 to win by decision as a prop bet is even more plausible as Chael Sonnen was less than 2 minutes away from accomplishing this not that long ago. In the middle, +105 that fight starts the 3rd round is probably the safest place to be, but again Silva needs one mistake and about 5 seconds to finish a fight so it is still going out on a limb. Gun to the head, Silva does what he always does and we all pick our jaws up off the floor shortly after midnight, wake up Sunday morning and try to find the GIF of the finish. Prop that fight starts round 3 +105, and +605 Weidman by decision if you believe Chris can get it done on Saturday.

7 No-Cook Side Dishes For Slow Cooker Dinners (Or Any Time)
As much as I admire fancy stovetops with extra burners, I really don't get it. I have five burners, one more than the fully functional stove of my youth, and after ten years, I can count on one hand the number of times I've used all five at once. I rarely use more than two, and on any given weeknight, one will do it.
See, I have a collection of completely no-cook side dishes that can easily be served with any entree. They are on regular rotation in my house, and I love that I can whip them up in the minutes before putting dinner on the table.
Side dishes that don't require cooking are important in my house — because I'm a control freak, and I'm much more likely to ask my children to help with meal preparation if it doesn't involve them using the gas stove with its open flame.
(Don't worry: I'm letting go with the big kids and teaching them how to cook on their own, but I still like having a few safe dishes up my sleeve.)
These side dishes are especially appreciated when I'm not in cooking mode at all, having started supper hours ago in the Crock-Pot and spent the rest of the day anywhere but the kitchen.
My Favorite No-Cook Side Dishes
- Crudités with Faith's Quick Ranch Dressing. Ever since I learned how to make this dressing myself, this is a favorite. And if I have it ready before the meal, waiting on the counter, I won't hear, "When's dinner, Mom?" and the kids will eat a big serving of vegetables before we even sit down to the table.
- Chopped salad with avocado, mozzarella, and tomato, drizzled with oil and vinegar. The cheese and avocado make this a really rich side, almost a meal on its own. If we want a lighter version, I add salad greens.
- Celery root salad. My French mother-in-law makes a version of this that's very similar to David Lebovitz's. I do, too, but recently discovered that adding a bit of wasabi gives it a nice kick. Preparing this ahead of time makes it a mellower dish.
- Little toasties. You may refer to this as "toast points with cheese." Technically, this involves some cooking, if you count toasting as cooking, but I'm no purist in the kitchen, so I'm including it. This is a perfect accompaniment to soup or salad, and a great way to use up slightly stale bread and whatever kind of cheese I have in the fridge. Years ago, I called these "LITTLE TOASTIES" in that voice parents use to get toddlers excited about something they don't want. "Look at that! We have vegetable soup. AND LITTLE TOASTIES." The name stuck. We also make them without cheese, drizzled with a little olive oil and sprinkled with coarse salt.
- Kale salad. This has become a mainstay in our kitchen. On the rare occasions that there is any left over, I toss it into pasta or an omelet the next day.
- The classic: salad greens dressed with a traditional vinaigrette. The recipe for this vinaigrette is posted on the side of our fridge, at the request of one of our children, who realized it was something he would need to know. And that recipe? Well, years ago, I used to use the packet by Good Seasons. These days, I season it myself, but still use the bottle that came with the packet, and the measures on the side.
- Black bean salsa...errrrr...salad. When I serve it with fish tacos, we call it salsa. On its own, it's salad. Magic!
I'd love to hear all about your own no-cook side dishes for those last-minute dinners!

|Subject: 401k to Roth???
|Date: 6/13/2000 12:15 AM
|Author: TJScanlon
|Number: 22513 of 90498
I have several questions I can't seem to get a handle on. Looking for some help. First I will give the details. I have a traditional IRA with about $7k in it and I have a 401k from a previous employer with about $12k. In addition I have a 401k with my current employer. I am 35 and married filed jointly with AGI of approx $90k joint, will likely go over $100k in 2001, possibly in 2000 depending on commission. OK, now that I have that off my chest....
I want to roll the my old employers 401k into a Roth IRA (I think this may be best but am open to counter viewpoints). I understand that it must first go into a traditional or conduit IRA.
Can I use my existing IRA or does that create problems with the money already in there?
What will be the tax implications of transfering the 12k from older 401k into a Roth IRA? ie. approx how much will I need to pay?
What happens if I convert it to a Roth and our AGI goes over $100k in 2000? (from what I understood, the AGI to open a Roth was under $100k?)
Thanks for reading and offering your opinions to a fool who is trying.

Display doors are something that is absolutely terrific to have on an entrance to the outdoors. The disadvantage is that they do tend to set you back an excellent little bit to acquire them and also not all entrances are able to deal with a display door. That is why lots of people have chosen to develop their very own as opposed to look for the best screen door for their house. Here are a few ideas and tips on how to develop a screen door for every single doorway, especially if you like the means a wood screen door looks.
The very first step is certainly making certain that you have the right tools and also products offered to construct your screen door with. You may opt to purchase a display door package that will certainly give you every little thing you require, however you need to construct it. This might be a terrific alternative for someone that does not have a great deal of devices, however it could be complicated to put a package door with each other. If you have tools handy, you might be better off to get timber, screen, and staples.
You will certainly hang the door, include springs if you desire it to stop before knocking also much as well as harming the hinges. Some individuals additionally put chicken wire or lattice strips on the bottom to prevent kids or pet dogs from pushing versus the screen and causing it to unclothe place. Don't hesitate to do anything that you feel will certainly look terrific.
Following comes the screen. There are a number of methods to take care of setting up the display. Among the easiest ways is to make use of trim pieces as well as staples to hold the display firmly in place. The trim pieces can also be ornamental so that they make your display door unique. When the display remains in area as well as tight, you will certainly wish to measure out and attach the joints to it. You could additionally choose to include the door handle right now, however waiting up until it is hung is likewise fine.
You will start out by gauging your doorframe to make sure that you can place the door in place when it is done. Bear in mind to earn the screen door a little larger than the structure if you desire it to overlap. Outline the cut boards on a level surface in the shape that you want the display door to be in. You must measure from the lower edge to the other top corner to guarantee that your screen door is completely square. You can then glue the boards together in the shape that they are laying.

My wife and I have been busy getting ready for our son's Bar Mitzvah (the fourth of our five children) which will take place in June. We allow each child to buy a new computer with their monetary gifts and the rest I will invest in a portfolio of five of my favorite stocks as part of their college custody account. These five stocks are also amongst the top holdings for the client accounts at LakeView Asset Management, LLC and me personally. What follows is what I affectionately call the Bar Mitzvah Portfolio:
1. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) – AAPL is not just an iPod company. AAPL iTunes is the largest site for digital downloads. The company is growing its core Macintosh desktop computer sales as more users continue to migrate away from the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows operating system platform. MSFT Vista operating system is such a disaster that it turns out to be the best marketing tool for the Apple Mac. For his Bar Mitzvah computer purchase my son and I went shopping for a Mac this week at the Apple store in the Short Hills Mall. We picked out a model as we now plan to take that first big step away from Windows. AAPL is making a move into home entertainment with Apple TV. Next to launch is the greatly anticipated iPhone. My guess, and this is only a guess, is that AAPL will develop its own video game system with digital download capability to compete against the Xbox and take more business away from MSFT.
AAPL 1-yr chart
2. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) – Google is set to report earnings today after the market closes and I expect the company to far exceed analyst expectations for EPS of $3.30 cents. This should come as no surprise especially as we know how strong the company's business model is performing and how poorly Yahoo (YHOO) is executing after that company reported a disappointing quarter earlier this week. The best way to look at this relationship is in SAT terms. GOOG:YHOO as AAPL:MSFT. GOOG continues to expand its reach into advertising, the internet, and the digital media. Just last week GOOG announced that it would acquire DoubleClick and entered into a radio advertising arrangement with Clear Channel Communications (NYSE:CCU). Expect this company under its very astute management team to continue to innovate and grow. A price of $600 in the next year for GOOG is not out of the question.
GOOG 1-yr chart
3. McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) – I have held this stock for several years. Despite the unexpected passing of two CEOs in a short period of time, the company continues to be the best managed restaurant chain in the world. You can credit: the deep pool of management talent; innovative menu changes; increased operating hours; turnarounds in Europe and Japan; and, expansion in China for MCD continued success. Just last week MCD surprised analysts and investors by guiding to significantly higher than expected 1q07 EPS and sales. On top of all this, MCD has a dividend yield of 2% which should get a boost later this year on top of a healthy stock buy back plan.
MCD 1-yr chart
4. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) – Oldie Goldie is the investment banker to the world. When it comes to investment banking, mergers & acquisitions, investment advisory, and sales & trading GS is the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Lakers, Montreal Canadians and Green Bay Packers all rolled up into one. It's a proven winner. GS attracts the best talent, has the best stable of clientele, is well connected politically (in the US and abroad) and should attract your investment dollars.
GS 1-yr chart
5. Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD) – I came upon SHLD many years ago when it was still Kmart not long after Eddie Lampert took it out of bankruptcy while I was doing my research into Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) during the several months leading up to Ms Stewart's trial. I had correctly positioned our portfolios short MSO for a guilty verdict but also bought Kmart in the process. A few months later Lampert and Kmart gobbled up Sears turning the combined company into SHLD. I highlighted SHLD as one of the most compelling investments in a LakeView Asset Management blog entry last month. Recently Lampert put a plan into motion to harvest some benefits from its Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard brands by securitizing those intellectual properties as part of a complex structured transaction. Expect Lampert to make some savvy acquisitions in the future. When people ask me if Lampert is the next Warren Buffet I always answer "No. He's the first Eddie Lampert."
SHLD 1-yr chart
Disclosure: At the time of this Blog entry Scott Rothbort, his family and or clients of LakeView Asset Management, LLC were long shares of AAPL, GOOG, MCD, GS and SHLD -- although positions can change at any time.

SACJ has had a layout designed for print up to now. For print, if you are trying to save paper count and therefore use a small font, it becomes difficult for the eye to follow a long line. That is why multiple columns were invented. Now that the journal is published online, there is no strong reason to maintain a layout designed for print with a small font and two columns. Two columns make for difficult reading on a small screen as you have to read to the bottom of a left-side column then scroll back up for the next column. Two-column layout also makes it hard to fit in decent-sized figures and tables, leading to a compromise of allowing them to run across both columns if necessary. Going to single-column layout removes all these problems.

Congress MLA heckles Kejriwal, AAP denies any Batla probe promise
New Delhi, Jan 30 (IANS) Congress legislator Asif Muhammad Khan Thursday disrupted a press conference by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, demanding an SIT probe into the Batla House shooting, and vowed to vote against his government. The Aam Aadmi Party said it never promised an investigation into the matter.
A furious Khan also asked the Congress to take back its critical legislative support to the month-old AAP minority government for what he said was a "betrayal" of a promise made by Kejriwal to Muslims in his area.
Kejriwal said at the press conference there would be no probe into the incident as the court has given its verdict and the case has been closed.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh also said there was no mention of the Batla House incident in the party's manifesto for election to the Delhi state assembly.
The drama began when Khan, Congress legislator from Okhla, entered the first-floor room of the Delhi Secretariat where the chief minister and his cabinet colleague Manish Sisodia were briefing the media.
Khan started shouting slogans after Kejriwal denied a probe by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the 2008 Batla House shooting.
Khan said Kejriwal had earlier promised an SIT probe, similar to the one the chief minister now wants into the 1984 killings of Sikhs, but was refusing to do so.
Demanding an investigation, Khan called Kejriwal the director of "Radio Jhootistaan" and thundered that he would no longer support the AAP government even if the Congress expelled him.
"I will also request the Congress to withdraw its support to the AAP," he added.
"He (Kejriwal) had promised the people of Okhla that he will probe the Batla House case, and had even distributed hand bills to this effect," the Congress leader said.
He said Kejriwal was now backtracking and "has betrayed the people of Okhla".
The controversial shooting between a Delhi Police team and suspected Indian Mujahideen members broke out in Okhla in September 2008 that left a police officer and two alleged militants dead.
The AAP, which has 28 seats in the Delhi assembly, is in office on the strength of support given by eight members of the Congress. It is also propped up by an Independent and a Janata Dal-United legislator.
Speaking to media persons later, AAP leader Sanjay Singh said: "A plea was filed in the case by Prashant Bhushan, but the court rejected it stating there would be no other plea in the case."
"We should respect the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter," he added.

'Alice' a wild ride for kids
By MICHAEL ECK
Special to the Times Union
SARATOGA SPRINGS …Â
How did "Alice in Wonderland"
ever become such a popular children's entertainment?
It's surreal beyond description,
genuinely twisted, and not very
easy to follow.
 C'est La Vie. Children have
loved it for years, while generations
have gone on to become parents
themselves, who only later in life
grasp Lewis Carroll's more psychedelic intentions.
 Home Made Theater is offering
Tim Kelly's contemporary adaptation in its holiday kids slot … in a
charming enough production directed by JJ Buechner.
 Kelly amplifies Carroll's weirdest moments.
 The Caterpillar, for example,
becomes a Bob Dylan fan, quoting
"Blowin' in the Wind" between
what are quite clearly bong hits.
 And the queens become caricatures of caricatures.
 Buechner has fun and really lets
creativity fly, albeit not always in
the right direction.
 The addition of a score (supplied
by sound designer Peter Kobor)
built on disco classics and '70s TV
themes, for instance, makes the
proceedings more bizarre without
really adding any relevance.
 Question is, is relevance really
necessary in "Wonderland?"
 However wacky this "Alice"
gets, it is never less than a joy to
look at, due in large part to the
efforts of scenic designer Mary
Fran Hughes and Buechner and PJ
Duell's fantastic costume design.
 The real magic is in the cloth, as
Buechner and Duell have conjured
everything from turtles to chess
pieces with bright colors and pizzazz. They've also taken liberties,
dressing, for example, knights as
cowboys and Tweedledum and
Tweedledee as The Blues Brothers.
 Sarah Ely makes her HMT
debut as Alice, and she does a fine
job of navigating Wonderland.
 It's really Ely's responsibility to
steer the proceedings and she
makes sure she's never upstaged by
all the insanity.
 A huge ensemble tackles the
remaining roles, with standouts
being Amy Rosen as a robotic Red
Queen, Doreen Watson as a head-
hunting soul mama of a Queen of
Hearts and John Schmeiderer as a
briefly seen Cheshire Cat.
 HMT's Winnie Owen is also
memorable as the Mock Turtle,
while Ann Reidy's Caterpillar is
hippie to the max.
 Kids will certainly enjoy this
"Alice" even if they don't grasp just
how strange it is.
 And it makes a nice alternative to the holiday-themed fare of the

The mounting of this brooch is unmarked but tested 14 karat gold--the pin stem and hinge are base metal. The micromosaic is in very fine condition--no scratches, chips, cracks, or fleabites :) The bright yellow roses provide an uncommon palette. The clasp is a simple C, also gold.
The setting is a little loosey-goosey in its flip mechanism. It snugs up, but for the weight of the brooch, needs to be snuggled up to a garment to stay flat. It's in excellent condition ~ the hair compartment hasn't ever been used so is ready for anything.

"Have a Blessed Day"
I believe in the four words Vanita, the postal clerk at the Morgan Park Post Office in Chicago says almost every day after she hands me the receipt for the boxes of books I bring in to mail for my wife and my book business: "Have a Blessed Day!"
It's not have a good day or have a happy day, which one hears from every seeming fast-food drive-through worker from coast to coast or the immigrant owner in broken English down at the local convenience store when you buy a paper or milk.
Someone wishing you to have a "blessed day" is much more personal, sublime. It is a holy and sacred wish rooted in the old hymns of Pentecostal Christians and African-American gospel choirs. It is quaint, simple, but aren't all profound statements easily understood? They are very evident, pregnant with complex, universal human truths as intricaly held together as the vast and varied DNA strands that weave us into humans.
Wishing someone blessedness is the ultimate act of civility. All of us can't be good or happy everyday, but we can treat our fellow humans (brown, black, white, yellow, or a mixture of all or some) with respect and sacredness in a world that is often vulgar and violent. In fact, our culture is one that packages and sells such vulgarity and violence from baggy pants, Long White-shirted rappers, spewing their hatred of authority and their "bitches," the women who they only have around to sexually penetrate for gratification and then abandon with distain. It is a lifestyle that has spread from coast to coast from the inner city ghetto to the suburban shopping mall where crooked hatted "wannabes" wander the mall in a glaze of ignorance and disrespect for all that is civil and elevating of the human soul.
But not from Vanita who is African-American and I White Caucasian-American. The hypens do not matter when those words, "Have a Blessed Day" are spoken. They have their roots in the old Gospel hymn that cuts across all races, all economic levels, and all cultures: "Blessed Assurance Jesus is mine. Oh what a foretaste of Glory Divine!" To wish someone a taste of something glorious, uplifting, divine is just so special and to hear it in a simple visit to a U.S. Post Office. It is the wish Vanita wishes for me and I for her-to experience just a small morsel of God's mysterious grace and in so doing enrich the life another person, another human, another citizen.
"Have a Blessed Day!"
