I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
-Major General Smedley Butler, USMC,
Two-Time Congressional Medal of Honor Winner
Author of, War is a Racket!
In observing politicians, the media, and American citizens, one thing is clear to me about the presidential, congressional, and local campaigns. Nobody is ready, willing, or able to ask and/or answer questions of substance.
Quite some time ago, my family and I ran across one of our elected representatives, our United States Congressman, campaigning at the town square. We observed more than 100 of our fellow Texans shaking hands with him, and offering their support, which he was grateful to accept. Not one person asked a question about his party's platform, or his voting record. The congressman did not make a single statement of substance about any issue. Sure. There were a few comments and jokes exchanged about the personalities of other candidates, but nothing at all about policy.
Finally, our family approached him, introduced ourselves, told him where we live (in his district) and exchanged warm greetings. I asked, "Considering that you voted for both TARP bills in 2008, the most recent of many tax-payer bailouts of bank shareholders, and considering that you reported owning more than $100,000 of JPMorgan Chase Common Stock and Employee Stock in 2007, Congressman Brady, what is your position on the Federal Reserve Banks being responsible for regulating and supervising the very same banks that own them, such as JPMorgan Chase?
Immediately, a twenty-something woman stepped around from behind our elected representative, and in between him and us. Our congressman stepped backwards several steps. She said to us, without even a hint of the Texas twang used by Brady, "The congressman believes strongly in protecting our nation's financial system for the benefit of every American."
I said, "Well, like the vast majority of Americans, I did not, and do not, own any bank stocks or receive any bank dividends, especially New York banks. I am, however, paid my salary in the US dollars that continue to lose value, and I use them to purchase the ever more expensive necessities of life. Back to my question, please. Doesn't self-regulation and bailouts put the fox in charge of guarding the tax payer's hen house? And hasn't our congressman shown himself to be one of the foxes?"
Congressman Brady was smiling, waving, and making his escape to a waiting vehicle. One of our children shouted, "Dad! He's getting away!"
I laughed and nodded.
The un-elected twenty-something woman simultaneously smiled and glared at me. She said, "America has the strongest banking system in the world, and the most stringent regulation. Your congressman has worked hard to ensure that. Thank you." Then she also left the town square.
I love the United States of America. But as a parent, I have learned that two very important parts of love is not accepting wrong behavior and holding our loved ones accountable. If we do not, then we are enabling wrong behavior, and that is not loving.
Many years ago, in high school journalism class, I was taught that journalists held politicians accountable. In fact, the media used to be known as The Fourth Estate. However, today, I see no evidence of this. I only see the media as tools of propagandists and sellers of advertising and advertisers' products and services. Nobody in the mass media appears ready, willing, or able to ask our politicians any questions of substance. When they do, rarely, and the politician is not responsive, usually, journalists are totally incapable of holding the politician accountable for an answer.
As I have described in a previous ZH article, I have spent many days with Donald Trump on several occasions. I found him to be intelligent, honest, and hard working. However, I am not yet willing to vote for him, even though he has never held political office, and is using his own money, which are both very admirable and appealing traits in a political candidate. Below are five of the questions I need to hear answers to before I would consider supporting Trump, or any politician.
As a side note, mostly because of the way the electoral college works, I do not currently subscribe to the idea of voting for anyone except candidate X. Voting for the Libertarian candidate, such as Gary Johnson, and not voting for any candidate at all, are both rational options. The candidate that represents me may not be able to win this election, but my vote will encourage him or her and others to continue to be a voice crying out in the wilderness.
1) Would or could you ever support amending The Bill of Rights? If so, which, how, and why?
2) Do you consider the recent actions of the United States military in Ukraine, Pakistan, Syria, Libya, etc., to be violations of the War Powers Act? If no, then why not? If yes, then what actions would you take on this issue, if elected?
3) What is your position on the Federal Reserve Banks being responsible for regulating and supervising the very same banks that own them?
A term used to describe the situation in which a public official or fiduciary who, contrary to the obligation and absolute duty to act for the benefit of the public or a designated individual, exploits the relationship for personal benefit, typically pecuniary.
In certain relationships, individuals or the general public place their trust and confidence in someone to act in their best interests. When an individual has the responsibility to represent another person—whether as administrator, attorney, executor, government official, or trustee—a clash between professional obligations and personal interests arises if the individual tries to perform that duty while at the same time trying to achieve personal gain. The appearance of a conflict of interest is present if there is a potential for the personal interests of an individual to clash with fiduciary duties, such as when a client has his or her attorney commence an action against a company in which the attorney is the majority stockholder.
Incompatibility of professional duties and personal interests has led Congress and many state legislatures to enact statutes defining conduct that constitutes a conflict of interest and specifying the sanctions for violations. A member of a profession who has been involved in a conflict of interest might be subject to disciplinary proceedings before the body that granted permission to practice that profession.
4) What are the similarities between unlimited campaign contributions and bribery, and what actions would you take to reform campaign finance, if elected?
Bribery is the act of giving money, goods or other forms of recompense to a recipient in exchange for an alteration of their behavior (to the benefit/interest of the giver) that the recipient would otherwise not alter. Bribery is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.
5) The invasion and ongoing 14-year occupation of Afghanistan represents the longest war in American history. Explain your personal understanding of why, exactly, US soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen are still killing Afghani men, women, and children in their homes, schools, fields, shops, and hospitals?
Look at that American-enabled growth of the largest opium crop in the world!
Try to ignore 2001, when the Taliban were in control, along with the epidemic of heroin abuse in the USA.
Look at all of those dividend payments (blue diamonds)!
Try to ignore this little girl who was burned beyond recognition by a U.S. drone and Lockheed-Martin Hellfire missile in Afghanistan...
I hope ZH readers read and act on my article, hedgeless_horseman's Revolutionary Call to Arms, and find the courage to ask your politicians at least some of these five questions.
Peace and love!

The National Christmas Tree was lit recently in Washington, DC, the nation's capital. According to Yahoo! Style, it lit up the Capitol, which is the building where Congress meets:
I bet that the writer had no idea that there is only one meaning of capitol — it's a building. If you mean anything else, then you need some capital.

Multiple companies end deals with NRA in wake of Florida school shooting
More than half a dozen companies, including three rental car companies and two hotels, are altering their relationships or severing ties with the National Rifle Association in the wake of the deadly Florida school shooting that left 17 people dead.
The moves appear to be at least partly influenced by a campaign on social media, #BoycottNRA, which began Thursday.
"We value all our customers but we have decided to end our discount program with the NRA," MetLife, an insurance giant, tweeted Friday. MetLife previously offered policyholders who were NRA members discounts on transportation insurance.
A spokesperson for Symantec, creator of the Norton anti-virus software and owner of the identity theft protection company LifeLock, said Friday that it has "stopped its discount program" for NRA members, according to a CNN report.
Enterprise Holdings, which owns three car rental brands—Enterprise, Alamo and National—announced the end of its discounted deals with NRA on Thursday. It will go in effect March 26.
The First National Bank of Omaha also said Thursday it would stop issuing an NRA Visa card due to customer feedback, according to CNBC.
Many called for Wyndham Hotels to sever ties with NRA, but according to Business Insider, the hotel chain already did in 2017. The organization has been distancing itself from the guns rights group on Twitter since Thursday. Best Western tweeted Thursday it "does not have an affiliation with and is not a corporate partner of the National Rifle Association."
#BoycottNRA supporters also pressured Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to stop streaming NRATV, which is NRA's free online video channel.

But there is more that I have taken on-- facilitating a workshop with the dear and talented Amy Keitzman on spiritual action, called Growing Our Capacity for Spirit Led Action. This is only for 3 hours a day, but it feels like a lot more. I had never realized that the head space of facilitation and of parenting were so similar. I am intently caring about this group of 14 folks, sitting in a circle, daily attending to their place on the journey.
Our primary modes in the workshop are two-fold-- strategic public engagement, and engaging in the Great Turning. We have spent our time together asking ourselves about the distinction between prayer and action, and what constitutes 'activism.' The stigma on both sides of the false dichotomy between spiritual practice and activist practice is strong. Activists feel alienated from recognition of their spiritual ground, contemplatives and lifestyle radicals feel alienated and distant from those who are more traditionally engaged in campaign work.
We chose to do this workshop to make space for that false separation to end. Joanna Macy, in her work of the Great Turning, describes a spiral of change work that reflects the sea change underway in our midst. As opposed to the industrial growth society, where the linear acquisition of power, possessions, and resources leads to a planetary and societal crisis leading to apocalypse, the Great Turning offers a new paradigm for understanding this historical moment. Instead of seeing direct action as rearranging deck chairs on the climate change Titanic, or alternative structures as ill-gotten gains from the margins, not effecting anything in the face of the Dominant System, the Great Turning tells us that all of these things are needed for the task of seeing with new eyes.
And what are we supposed to see, exactly? Where the power-over paradigm sees human and ecological action in atomistic isolation, the power-with paradigm of the Great Turning sees all of these actions, organizations, movements, prayers, and ecological systems as connected. Big or small, the life-giving truth of our interconnection can change our view of this moment in time, and give us energy for committing to this work for the long term
But this new way of seeing is not something we can know in our minds, only. As Friends gathered, we are in a good position to know that we need to know this with our bodies, as well as our minds. An embodied faith makes it possible for us to know the truth of our experience. The activities we planned-- including participating in a youth-led action with the Coalition for Immokalee Workers-- have made space for people to engage the different places they might feel led to act, or worship, or minister.
The truth of our work together, for me, is a lived panentheism-- a recognition of the God(ess) in the work of liberation for all beings, human and non-human. The nested systems of our selves, our communities, our alternative organizations, modeling and building the kin-dom together, is where my theology lives. The gift of this time with Friends is to reflect and experience together the inward activism and outward prayer of lived faith. And I am grateful for it.
And so the answer to the question, of course, is that yes, you are big enough for the world, because you are a part of the world, and the world is a part of you. And God(ess) is in all. Welcome to the Great Turning, may we travel this spiral in peace and love.
** Update 7/11/13 **
A Friend and friend asked me to outline the effects of this long-term campaign on the lived realities of farm workers in Florida. Having been a participant in CIW action on and off since 2002, I trust this movement and its information, so I direct folks to the FAQ page of the Fair Food Program, the implementation and oversight program for the gains made by the work of CIW. From the CIW website, this work has taken a decade to come together, with its first signer in 2005-- Taco Bell, and the organization of oversight and implementation began in the 2011-2012 growing season.
I will also write that my understanding is that this agreement for increased compensation for harvest and a code of conduct for the farm workplace is based on pressure at the local level-- or at least this is the context in which I have participated. The momentum needed to effectively pressure an industry requires longterm and strategic engagement. And I will also write that these gains are hard won and important-- but they are not the only gains that are effected by a long-term campaign like this. Organizing based on the stories of workers, bringing the story of these workers reality to the front of folks' consciousness is a battle for story that I think CIW is winning. I also think that the process of empowerment and self-determination that happens with long term committed work can have long reaching effects that are yet to be seen.
The action that young people at the Gathering organized was beautiful, and at the end of it, before we returned to the grounds of the Gathering, we were gathered outside of Wendy's, watching the young people walk out of the store. As they finished telling their story of the successful conversation with the manager on site, some elder Friends started chanting-- Lead Us! Lead Us! It was a bit surreal at first, for me, but as I saw the faces of those gathered, I heard in that the cry of hope, of desperation, of love across generations. What would this chant look like, what would it be lived like, if we called it across other chasms in our relationships? I am glad to be led by young Friends, and by Florida farmworkers and their allies.

Just a quick note to say that due to a low number of entries and a lack of internet access at my end (which is due to be fixed imminently – hurrah!) I've decided to extend the time for entries into this month's Breakfast Club to Sunday 3 October, 6pm. This will hopefully give me some time to put something together too!
Monthly Archives: September 2010
I was invited to go on a six-day culinary tour of Northern Sweden by Visit Sweden. Reading over the itinerary, a few words jumped out at me, words like "reindeer", "bear", "elk", and "grouse". I began to panic a little. Why had they invited me? I eat fish these days, but I hadn't eaten meat from mammals or birds since I first went vegetarian about sixteen years ago.
Then I read a little further, and spotted words like "sustainable" and "organic". That sounds a little more me, I thought. I've also recently been re-examining my views on vegetarianism. The whole issue is so much more complex than it appeared to my thirteen-year-old self. There are parts of the world where it is impossible to be vegetarian – vegetables just don't necessarily exist. I recently read about the paradoxical Inuit diet – which consists mainly of seal meat, is high in fat and protein, and contains no vegetables, yet the Inuit are among the healthiest people in the world. Am I ethically opposed to the way they eat? No, I don't think I am.
The diet of the Sami people in Lapland is not so different. The Sami have always lived in the far north of Scandinavia, where not much plant life grows and the main food is reindeer. The Sami were a nomadic people, following the reindeer migration. Nowadays they mainly live in villages and towns, but travel to their reindeer herds at least a couple of times a year first to mark the reindeer with the distinctive ear snips that mark ownership of every reindeer in Scandinavia, and second to slaughter the reindeer. The reindeer can depend on the Sami as much as the Sami depend on the reindeer – sometimes there is not enough food and the people must feed them with expensive pellets.
To me, it seemed that the reindeer and the people had evolved to live in perfect harmony with each other.
I learned all this at Nutti Sami Siida, near Kiruna, above the Arctic Circle in Northern Sweden. First we met the reindeer:
Look him in the eye before you eat him.
Then we were ushered into a tent where smoked reindeer souvas were being cooked over an open fire.
The tables were beautifully set with lingonberry jam, lingonberry juice and flatbread.
The idea was to eat the smoked reindeer with some bread and a dollop of lingonberry jam. The moment of truth arrived. I still didn't know whether I would try the reindeer or not. But already having established that I had no ethical objection to it, I felt it was something I should do, out of respect to our hosts to whom the reindeer mean everything. I only had a little bit, and it was fairly slathered with lingonberry jam, but it did taste good.
Afterwards we had Sami coffee, brewed on the fire:
And cloudberries with cream, in traditional Sami cups:
Plane Food
Our flight to Sweden was out of Terminal 5, which gave me a chance to return to Plane Food. Niamh had received an invitation to review the Best of British menu, part of a wider promotion throughout Heathrow's food outlets. The menu offered two courses for £14.95 or three for £18.95.
Plane Food is what the name suggests: it is first and foremost an airport restaurant. And while the food is not "plain", it is not complicated. Think good, simple ingredients cooked well, and quickly – as everyone who eats there has a plane to catch, after all. There is even a departures board in the restaurant so you can keep an eye on your flight.
I chose the beetroot and goat's curd salad to start. The goat's curd in particular was delicious. I also loved the two different colours of beetroot.
My second course was pan fried sea bream with wild garlic, spring onion mash and tomato dressing. The mash was of the Robuchon variety – it tasted like it was at least 50% butter and sinfully delicious. The inclusion of wild garlic was surprising as it is well out of season.
Dessert was lemon posset:
By this stage I could have done with about half that portion size and been completely satisfied. It was lovely though and that candied slice of lemon didn't just make a good decoration, it was nice to eat too! By then it was time to make our way down to our flight. I skipped the BA sandwich.
Beetroot Chocolate Brownies
I've just come back from a trip to Sweden. More on that very soon. While I wait for my pictures to upload, I'll tell you about the beetroot chocolate brownies I made last week.
Two things happened:
1. I got my veg box from Riverford. Now, the previous week I had received plenty of beetroot. I like to grate beetroot and put it with some quinoa, salad leaves, smoked mackerel and toasted seeds for a wonderful superfood lunch. So I saved some of the beetroot for the next week. Unfortunately I wasn't to know they had substituted the sweetcorn I was expecting with more beetroot. So I had a beetroot glut to deal with.
2. We had a coeliac visitor staying.
I remembered seeing a recipe from Riverford for beetroot chocolate brownies, so I looked it up. Upon reading it I realised it could very easily be made gluten free, as only the baking powder called for in the recipe contained gluten. Baking powder doesn't need to contain gluten, the active ingredients are baking soda and cream of tartar, however these ingredients are usually combined with starch such as cornflour or potato starch. Luckily, I had baking soda and cream of tartar in the cupboard. If you don't have cream of tartar you could always use a little vinegar. I used about a quarter of a teaspoon of each.
The brownies were delicious, no one thought they tasted gluten free and the texture was great. Not up there with my favourite brownie recipe, but good all the same. Our guests even took some to eat on the way back to Italy.
Tian de tomates, courgettes et Sainte-Maure
I had a big sort-out of my room the other day. I threw a lot of stuff out, built some new shelves, filed things, and generally turned my desk area into somewhere I can actually work.
The best thing about a tidy-up is the things you dig up. I found a copy of an old Marie Claire Idées on my bookshelf, started flicking through it to decide whether or not I should keep it, and found a recipe for Tian de tomates, courgettes et Sainte-Maure. I had some courgettes in the fridge needing to be used up, and a friend about to visit, so I thought it would make a lovely meal. Sainte-Maure is a little difficult to find in London so I used a Somerset goat's cheese instead.
My friend Pip loved it so much she has been pestering me for the recipe, so here it is!

6 tomatoes (small, or 5 larger tomatoes – I didn't use all the tomatoes)
2 courgettes
1 Sainte-Maure goat's cheese, or substitute this with a British goat's cheese like I did
4 sprigs of thyme
4 cloves of garlic
100ml olive oil (I don't think I used this much)
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Chop the tomatoes, courgettes and cheese into rounds about 3mm thick. Finely slice the garlic. Oil the dish, then arrange the vegetables and cheese in the dish, alternating them. Put the sliced garlic between the vegetables. Pour some more olive oil over the top, sprinkle with thyme and put in the oven.
The tian is cooked when the courgettes are translucent and soft. Let it cool for a bit before serving. I recommend serving it with a crusty baguette.
Also, if anyone knows where I can get Marie Claire Idées in London please let me know!
Breakfast Club #4: British
Breakfast Club: Because breakfast should be more interesting than tea & toast or coffee & cereal.
This month it's my turn to host Breakfast Club.
Breakfast Club is a food blogging event hosted by Helen from Fuss Free Flavours and Sarah from fingers and toes. We love breakfast and want everyone to enjoy better and more interesting breakfasts.
Each month one of us will choose a theme and then post the round up on the last Sunday of the month.
So far we've had:
Breakfast Club #1: Asian
Breakfast Club #2: Eggs
Breakfast Club #3: Muffins (link to announcement – entries close on Sunday!)
You still have a few days to make some muffins and email Helen – I'm hoping to still find time to enter myself! I was planning on making English muffins, but I may make something different now. However that did get me thinking… So this month's theme is British.
There are so many options here. English muffins, crumpets, Scotch pancakes, a full English, Welsh, Irish or Scottish, kippers, porridge, Marmite or marmalade on toast.
There's going to be a breakfasty prize for this one – more info on that later! Entries close the last Sunday of the month, 26th September. I look forward to seeing what you all make.
To recap:
Make breakfast inspired by the month's theme, write about it (please include a link in your post to both hosts' announcement or blog – Helen's announcement is here)
Mail the host for the month, (sarah dot e dot moore at gmail dot com) with a link to your post, name of your blog and a photo (or link to your photo) by 6pm (UK time) on the 26th September.
If you do not have a blog send a recipe and photo to the month's host who will include it in the round up.
Tell everyone – let's inspire each other to make more interesting breakfasts!
ETA: we have a prize, people! Kellogg's is running their National Breakfast Week promotion next week and have kindly offered us a lovely breakfast hamper to give away. We'll be giving it to our favourite EU entrant by a completely impartial judging process which may involve the Kellogg's people or may just involve random numbers. Either way I promise you don't have to be a close personal friend to win. And look at those teacups!
ETA: Kellogg's have just sent a link to their latest ad, which is kind of cute. My morning routine is somewhere between the two. I tend to eat my homemade granola with yoghurt (and recently, chopped strawberries) while I'm making my lunch.
Also, I've decided how the competition will run. I'm going to open it up to commenters on the round-up post (not this post). Anyone who enters a recipe will get 5 entries (which I will assign numbers to), commenters will get 1. Then I'll use a random number to pick the winner – if the winner is someone outside the EU, I'll keep picking random numbers until we have an EU winner. Clear as mud?

North Valley Survival Tips for Valentine's Day.
As a married guy, and someone who's romantic skills are questionable to say the least, I had to dig deep to find the right sort of things to put in a survival guide for V-Day. I mean, gosh, it sounds like D-Day and conjures up images of husbands and boyfriends storming a beachhead amid mortar bombs and grenades and rushing through barbwire and metal blockades to get a good table at your favorite restaurant, and so on.
If this is what comes to mind when you start planning a romantic evening for your significant other, then perhaps a few tips couldn't hurt.
– Survival Tip #1. –You're not Tony Soprano. Nor the queen of England. Make a reservation. Don't be overconfident or think that you're connected like some goon from Goodfella's. I get it, some people don't want to be beholden to a schedule and think spontaneity is the only way to be romantic, but if you were truly spontaneous, you wouldn't be out on V-Day trying to make up ground in the trenches… call ahead.
– Survival Tip #2. – Always prepare a Plan-B. Restaurant owners and managers are going to hate me for this one, but you should have a second reservation, at a different restaurant, and at a later time. What happens when you get to his or her house and they are still trying on dresses, or doing curls in front of a mirror, or in the middle of a bad hair nightmare? You're late… that's what happens. Plan ahead. While being completely unburdened by time, as mentioned in Tip #1, is ill advised, it's best not to have to watch the clock in agony. Besides, it will give you last minute choices on the type of food or restaurant.
– Survival Tip #3. – Limit your consumption (Part 1). Drinking too much is not romantic. You aren't funnier or a better dancer and are statistically 10 times more likely to get caught leering at your server's physique… just stop it. It's okay to have a drink to loosen up and get a little groove going on, but you have a long battle ahead and you will need your faculties to carry you through the night. Remember, we're in it for the long haul and no one wants to go home early, or alone. Pace yourself. P.S. I made that statistic up, but it's still true.
– Survival Tip #4 – Cab it. Many of the other V-Day warriors will ignore tips 1-3 and therefore be a danger to you and your date. Aside from that, traffic is frustrating and will kill your mood if you get stuck behind a grandmother for 15 blocks. Your date will be 44% less likely to discard his or her clothing if they see and hear you berating an elderly couple on the 101. Again, my statistics are a total fabrication and still, somehow, accurate.
– Survival Tip #5 – Have dessert prepared and ready at home. It might be presumptuous or bold, but I like to have a plate of chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge and a bottle of white wine or champagne chilling at home, next to some candles and rose petals. If the date goes south then it will be nice to move all that to the bath and polish off the drink and dessert by yourself while you reflect on what went wrong.
– Survival Tip #6 – Limit your consumption (part 2). No buffets, all you can eat, or family style restaurants. Unless you are taking an escaped circus bear out for dinner, you don't need to pack away three pounds of meat and cheese. Just stop it. Do you want to invite your date home to watch you sleep it off, or do something that will be fun for both of you? If you are taking a bear out for dinner, I recommend completely ignoring Survival Tip #3 as well, because everyone knows it's way more fun to watch a bear ride a unicycle, after you've had a few.
– Survival Tip #7 – Discuss allergies ahead of time. This comes from personal experience. You don't want to take someone to a place that has wall-to-wall shellfish if they might go into anaphylactic shock. One time I cooked dinner for a woman who has peanut allergies. I unwittingly ate a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup to curb my appetite while the food was on the grill. One little kiss later and we were in the ER while she transformed from a smoky brunette co-ed, into Louis Armstrong. Needless to say, ole Satchmo never called me back, and that date cost me a ton in medical bills. P.S. Never call a dying girl Satchmo.
– Survival Tip #8 – Keep the natives happy. Line up two, nay, three babysitters and a doctor who does house calls, don't leave anything to chance. If you have no children, this rule applies to your roommates. Find some way to keep them out of the house, even if it means changing the locks, better that than you find them in the bath eating your strawberries and crying into a glass of your bubbly while listening to Fiona Apple.
– Survival Tip #9 – Keep it simple. Don't go too far overboard with extravagant multilayered event planning, No one wants to go on a scavenger hunt for hours or be out in public until their feet blister. As a general rule, when someone asks what you did for Valentine's Day, you should be able to say: "Dinner and _ __," or "_ __ and dinner." Everything else exciting, like what happens when the chocolate strawberries and champagne are done, should be omitted from proper conversation. P.S. It should be stated that neither of those "__ _'s" ought to be "a movie," unless it is at a drive-in-theatre and you don't care about actually watching the film, or potentially getting arrested. P.S.S. If you are adhering to Tip #4, this might also cost you a lot of money and embarrassment with the Taxi Company.
– Survival Tip #10 – Think about what you're doing to your body. This should be common sense, but chose your food wisely. You don't want to be fighting a fart all night, or afraid to breathe, in the close confines of the cab. Mexican food is never a good choice if you hope to see someone naked any time soon. The chicken Caesar salad at Hillstone is the best thing I have ever put in my face, but it will murder your breath for no less than three days. I don't know what they put in it, but it should be illegal, for a multitude of reasons. Most Italian food, as well, has enough garlic to ward off insects and vampires, as well as a good night kiss. Incidentally, do not use the word fart on your date or your breath won't matter.
I hope this helps as you all go out to do battle with other couples and your own reckless impulses on V-Day. Please be sure to message me via my website and let me know how it goes.

Food product manufacturer and distributor Supreme Oil Co. Inc. is facing $259,000 in fines for one willful, one repeat, and 30 serious safety and health violations found at its Englewood, NJ, plant, said Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) officials.
A February inspection was a part of the agency's Site-Specific Targeting 2012 inspection plan.
Big Safety Fines for Cabinetry Maker
Safety Issues at Chocolate Maker
MT Oil Refinery Faces Safety Fines
Safety Violations at Steel Company
"The wide range and variety of both safety and health related violations found at Supreme Oil Co. Inc. are indicative of a failed safety and health program," said Lisa Levy, director of OSHA's Hasbrouck Heights Area Office. "The cited hazardous conditions must be corrected quickly and effectively to ensure a safe and healthful workplace for all employees."
Lockout/tagout procedures which prevent inadvertent machine start-up, were not developed, documented, and utilized by the company for the control of potentially hazardous energy, resulting in a willful violation carrying a $70,000 penalty. A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
The repeat violation, carrying a $33,000 penalty was for workroom floors not maintained in a dry condition. The company faced similar citations in 2012. A repeat violation exists when an employer faced previous citations for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any other facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years.
The serious violations include electrical and trip hazards, and the company's failure to provide lockout/tagout training for employees involved in service and maintenance activities; ensure fire exits were not obstructed; provide appropriate machine guarding and fall protection; provide and maintain a hearing conservation program for employees exposed to excessive noise; limit employee exposure to carbon monoxide; and obtain written approval from the forklift manufacturer prior to making modifications. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known. The proposed penalty for the serious violations is $156,000.
"A key way employers can prevent conditions that can injure or sicken workers is to establish and maintain an effective illness and injury prevention program in which management and employees work together to identify and prevent hazardous conditions," said Robert Kulick, OSHA's regional administrator for New York.

Focus on smart beta - investors apply smart beta approach to bonds
Smart beta solutions were originally developed for equities, but now some of the key product providers such as Lyxor Asset Management are offering the same approach for bonds.
Smart beta solutions were originally developed for equities, but now some of the key product providers such as Lyxor Asset Management are offering the same approach for bonds.
Over the past few years since the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, equities have been considered the riskiest asset class and investors have been on the search for solutions to hedge against these risks and diversify their equities portfolios.
This is where smart beta solutions come in. They allow an investor to allocate to an equity index in a "smart way" by controlling the risk exposure of a portfolio. To achieve this, the smart beta portfolio weighs stocks based on their risk contribution rather than market weighting.
Lyxor Asset Management has developed the Equal Risk Contribution (ERC) strategy, which weights the risk contribution of each component of an index equally. The strategy seeks to minimize the investment biases inherent to market cap indexing, among which its tendency to concentrate risks into a limited number of components.
In a volatile environment, this approach can help protect the portfolio on the downside and capture some of the upside of the equity market. The passive approach allows an investor to keep down the costs, which is an advantage over actively managed funds (which charge management fees).
Guillaume Lasserre, head of custom solutions at Lyxor Asset Management, says institutional investors have been using smart beta indices to diversify their equity portfolio holdings in a passive way. It is less about the outperformance and more about diversification and hedging, he says.
Now, the same investors are asking for similar solutions for bonds. This interest stems from the changing risk profiles of asset classes. Bonds, which have been considered a safe haven investment, have lost this status due to the sovereign wealth crisis.
In response to investor demand Lyxor has developed smart beta solutions for bonds together with Citigroup, available on Bloomberg from this year. It is one of only few providers to have moved into this space so far.

The EHF Court of Handball has reached a decision following disciplinary proceedings opened following the direct disqualification received by Alexandr Boret at 22:13 minutes of the 2015/16 Challenge Cup 3rd Round 2nd Leg match: HC Olimpus‐85‐USEFS (MDA) vs Handball Esch (LUX) which took place in Luxembourg on 29 November 2015.
The Olimpus player was directly disqualified for pushing an opponent from the side during a match interruption. The contact was such that the opponent fell to the floor but no injury was caused.
The EHF Court of Handball finds in substance that the foul was reckless, dangerous and intentionally committed as an act of retaliation.
Hence, the player is therefore suspended from participating in EHF European Cup competitions for one match.
An appeal may be filed with the EHF Court of Appeal within seven days.

Pacman the kitten had a close call with a trash compactor.
Luckily, an employee of Dainty Rubbish Service noticed the 4-month-old kitten while shoveling trash from a truck into that compactor, according to the Meriden Record-Journal.
The kitten was cleaned. The Humane Society in Meriden was contacted and the kitty was given the name "Pacman," because of the close call with the compactor, the paper reports.
The kitten got into the trash during routine pickup in Middletown on Thursday, the paper reports. Whether he was placed into a dumpster or climbed into the garbage is not known.
The kitten is blind and Pacman is likely to need major surgery to save one of his eyes.
Mike Armetta, the manager of the company who found the kitten, is one candidate to adopt Pacman once the kitten's health has been restored.

Not that I'm thinking about God as a regular thing. In class last week, my awesome professor, Ted Hiebert, said:

He said it in the context of modern artistic thought, but I feel that it stands on its own.

Yesterday was the last day of my first week of winter quarter. I ended up dropping my Saturday drama class, because 25 credits was starting to feel crazy and the middle of the afternoon on Saturday is a really inconvenient time to be tied to a class. I'm still set up to take regular 15 credit quarters spring and summer and have a few more credits than required to graduate.
All of my classes this go round are arts related. I feel the difference coming out of week one. I'm excited and interested in everything I'm taking, and a little scared about the amount of creative output required (not to mention the reading). Overall, I'm feeling optimistic and cheerful. I'm a little worried about "artsy-fartsy" factor–the part of arts classes where instructors and fellow students wax philosophical about high-minded artistic concepts that may or may not be present in the work at hand. I think I'm up for it though.
Keep an eye out for artwork in progress here on the site, and also for more updates about school generally.

School starts up again for me today. It is the first quarter of my new major (Culture, Literature, and the Arts) and is filled with classes that I hope will be fun for me. Today, for example, I have Video Art followed by Creative Writing: Poetry. I'm looking forward to it.
It's also a scary quarter, because I'm signed up for 25 credits. If you aren't familiar, a normal full load in a quarter system is 15 credits. It's possible that I'm crazy to take so many classes, but I want to stay on track for graduation at the end of the summer, and there happened to be tons of classes I wanted to take this quarter.
Part of what I'm trying to do is learn the discipline to manage the work. I'm not working, so the course load shouldn't be too much if I manage it properly. Of course, I also have to acknowledge that my ADD is a hurdle and establish coping techniques appropriately.
Fun, challenging times ahead.
