At Home In Louisville Real Estate Group Client Testimonials
"I had no previous relationship with Krystol, but she happened to be the first person to reach out after I inquired on Homelight. Krystol worked hard, went above and beyond the call of duty, was more than responsive and just a pleasure to work with. Krystol is a true professional and someone I highly recommend to anyone in the real estate market. "
Andrew Woods
"Shopping for a home or property can sometimes leave you wishing that you had never made the decision in the first place. Choosing Pam Hawkins and the At Home in Louisville Real Estate Group turned out to be the best decision ever! It was absolutely flawless from beginning to end. From the first showing of the property, to the closing, it was a smooth, painless process. I would highly recommend them!"
Michael Unser
"Pam Hawkins was great. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Her negotiation skills are great. She responded quickly to all inquiries and kept the home buying process moving forward. I would recomend Pam and her team to any one looking to buy a home."
David & Courtney Mullins
"Our experience with Keller Williams and the At Home In Louisville team have been nothing short of amazing! Their no pressure approach made the entire process much more enjoyable for our family and when we found a property they were quick to act. We found a home and after deciding this was the one for us we worked with Riad, who was out of town at the time and put his vacation on hold, to discuss our best strategy. We had an accepted offer within 12 hours of viewing the house! During the time between the accepted offer and closing, Riad did a good job of walking us thru the entire process, as well as being available via text, email, or phone calls for any questions that we had. Overall, our home buying experience was great, and we will definitely look to Keller Williams for all of our realty needs in the future."
Caleb Shewman
"We found ourselves in an urgent situation to move. Our home had incurred damage from a fire, while simultaneously we found out we were pregnant with baby #4! As our home finished up all repair, we knew who to call. We called Melanie Jones and Melissa Gabeheart who immediately went to work listing our home, beginning an aggressive marketing approach to get it sold, as well as finding us a new home to fit our growing needs. We had a fast approaching date of when we needed the entire process wrapped up (about 6 weeks from meeting with Melissa to assess listing to closing date). The team worked diligently to keep all parties on target with our closing date. They were amazing!! Customer service and professionalism far beyond our highest expectations!!! This frightening and daunting process transformed into a pleasant and smooth transaction!!! This team is so skilled and brilliant. It was a joy to work with them to sell and buy a home!!!!"
Lesley Hyatt
"I worked with Pam Hawkins from start to finish and she was superb in her knowledge of the area, her patience in the midst of a rushed timeline, and her awesome personality! I felt taken care of and looked out for as I made my transition from Philly to Louisville. She made my first home purchase a smooth process and offered reassurance along the way as she calmed any worries that came about. To this day, she stays in touch and makes sure my house is in tip-top condition. I cannot recommend her enough! She rocks!"
Christina Bui
"I was looking for a company that would help me through one of the biggest decisions most people will make. I would highly recommend the people at Keller Williams East. They took the time to see me and understand my needs. Enough cant be said about the staff. Thank you Riad and Shaunta. I found my home."
Shawn Jennings
"I can't say enough good things about Clayton Knauer and his team, including Shaunta Hamby and Lauren Hammond. Clayton and company helped me buy my first house, and my husband and I contacted them again when selling the same house. They worked tirelessly to effectuate the purchase of our new home, as well as the sale of our former home. There were several obstacles along the way which required a lot of work, and which the team handled like pros. They are the best!"
Megan Hastings
"Melanie Jones was my agent and I could not have done it without her. She was very helpful and patient with me and my family. Shaunta was awesome as well with sending me all the information that I need, setting up the home inspection and always being available when I needed her. I would highly recommend the At Home In Louisville team."
Dena Hardin
"Everything was very efficient and run like a machine. Every deadline was hit and no extra expenses were incurred. My expectations were set and exceeded. I was told in the beginning I would close on January 11th and my closing date was not moved back once. I have purchased several homes and using Katelyn and her team made me realize how the process should be. It made me realize I probably should have been using them all along."
Caleb Vittitow
"I am thrilled we chose At Home In Louisville with Keller Williams as our real estate agent.

She goes above and beyond to give priority to her clients and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her."
Amy Broyles
"Clayton Knauer is not only a pro, but he's fun to work with and researches even the smallest details on your behalf. We felt comfortable during the entire process.

You will find a new house that you love AND make a new friend."
Lori Yeoman
"Our home had previously been on the market with another realtor for nine months. Because of that experience we were very skeptical of what the next realtor could or would do for us. We interviewed four realtors, and decided to hire Melissa Gabehart because of her professionalism, honesty of market values and especially for her "go get it" attitude. Right away we knew we had chosen the right person for us. The tenth day on the market, we had a contract. Team members Kathryn Sotelo, Lauren Hammond and Shaunta Hamby were very nice and professional as well and attended to all of our questions, suggestions and needs. We have, and will continue to, spread the word and refer others because At Home In Louisville rocks!"
Bill and Norma Henderson

Mildred Sewell
"Shaunta was very professional and a great communicatior. Melissa not only found us a great neighborhood & home, but she went way outside of her obligation to us.

Todd & Jill Wray
"Moving to Louisville from Chicago was going to be a big difference for me and my family. Clayton went out of his way to not only show me every aspect of the real estate market from the city, to the park areas, to the western suburbs but gave up several weekends to just show me around town to the sights, restaurants, the shops and the people. He was extremely easy to connect with personally.
When it came time to make a decision, the tools he provided were world class. Even better, when it came time to negotiate, he was relentless. On things I would have otherwise accepted, he pushed me to negotiate harder. Even at close, he continued to make sure we received every single consideration and left no stone unturned.
He took a personal interest in me and my family and acted as truly our agent in the entire process. I have been through the home buying and selling experience a total of 7 times. I have NEVER been so over the top impressed as I was with Clayton."
Michael Hough
"Clayton came highly recommended by both of my brothers. He did an equally great job at helping my wife and I find the right home for us as well. Anyone that can get a couple to agree on a house in under 10 visits is doing something right. Clayton's method cuts out all of the nonsense of looking at homes that you know aren't right for you, and helps you look each house as your possible future home. Would definitely use Clayton again."
Matthew Blandford
"R. Clayton Knauer brings innovation and an unrivaled attention to detail to his position as Lead Buyer Agent at Keller Williams. Clayton provided top notch organizational skills in coordinating the purchase of my house, which allowed me to concentrate on the high level decisions that were at times quite stressful for a first-time home-buyer. Clayton helped me focus and make the most efficient use of my time and resources. I purchased my home in early 2009, just months after the onset of the recent financial crisis, and his expertise proved invaluable as he guided me through a financing option that allowed me to both purchase a property and renovate it to best meet my needs. I could not have been more happy with the service and the result Clayton provided and I whole-heartedly recommend him."
Chris Herndon
"We did not feel pressured to buy or compromise. Everyone was extremely available to us. Clayton Knauer was incredibly patient, helpful, and truly our advocate. Shaunta Hamby is an excellent and very pleasant communicator. "
Adam & Emily Frederick
"100% Professional, Returned all of my calls & surprised me with the professionalism across the board."
Jill Harrod
"If you want a hassle free buying experience choose At Home In Louisville Real Estate Group. You will not be disappointed! "

"Clayton Knauer and Shaunta Hamby made what could have been a painful process go very smoothly. They were always there for me and often had answers for me before I knew what to ask. Clayton helped me get a good price and ensured the home was move-in ready."
William Vincent DeGeorge
"Our neighborhood was astounded by the number of showings we had! We were given excellent advice on pricing and contract negotiations. All our contact people were knowledgeable, pleasant to be with, and got the job done!"
Natalie and David Primm
"The team surpassed all expectations. They were extremely thorough and knowledgeable during every part of the process. Clayton Knauer helped me to get my family into the type of home we've always wanted. Everyone I worked with made me feel like family."
William Vincent DeGeorge
"Your company has an excellent infrastructure in place that really allows it to provide excellent services that go way beyond just selling a home. The support after the sale meant so much too."
Margaret Arnold
"Shaunta, you truly were a blessing to me in this whole process. Thank you so much for all you did to keep things straight, clear, and moving forward. You were so available and quick to answer my questions and that really made an impression on me. You have a sweet attitude and were a joy to work with."
Beth Johnson
"Lynn, you are a gem! Thank you so much for everything you've done to help get my house sold. Working with your team truly made the process painless."
Beth Johnson
"This Team is Awesome! They are very professional, prompt and simplify the home buying process for those of us that have a million other things to do. Without them we would never have our new beautiful home. Thanks !"
Samuel Bailie and Angela Fullenkamp
"Being out of state and buying a house could not be easy, but the team helped so much with the transition. They worked on our behalf and also located local businesses for us."
Harry & Linda Mason
"Kathryn Sotelo has been excellent from day one to present (weeks after sale!). There is no better agent, I cannot praise Kathryn enough. Her superior customer service is the best I have ever seen. She is knowledgeable, professional, and really does represent her clients the best way possible. She should be Realtor of the year."
Jonathan Brand
"I have never had such a smooth Real Estate transaction in my life. Everyone in this team should be commended: Lynn available even in California, Perry & Barry who initially showed us our new home, Kathryn who helped neogotiate and close contract and Shaunta who did a remarkable job of keeping us informed and on track. Not to mention we sold our home in 8 days of being on the market due to Lynn and her suggestions."
Stephen & Melissa Dimitri
"Lynn was straight forward, knowledgeable, and entirely honest with us. She sold our house quicker than we anticipated and for more than we hoped for. She even visited us while we were in the hospital. Her team is fantastic and they treated us like family. She's our obvious choice the next time we need a realtor. Kathryn came to us almost daily with more house choices that not only fit our price range, but that matched our taste as well. Throughout the entire process we felt like we were in capable hands, excellent team."
Jesse & Kara Deyoung
"We extend our appreciation to you and to each member of your team for your professionalism yet warmth and friendliness extended to us while selling our home. It has been a pleasure working with all of you. We liked the professionally done brochures. They were impressive."
The Gentry Family
"I really appreciated how efficiently and professionally you handled our home sale and will certainly recommend YOU to prospective clients whenever and wherever I can in the future."
"I was amazed at how effortless and enjoyable finding a house was. They sent me e-mails of the kind of house I was looking for. I sorted through them to find the best house I wanted to see. We saw them, I put an offer on one and got the house. The team went to work on all the paperwork to make the process easy. They handled everything. It was truly wonderful."
Beth J.
"Thank you for the endless effort and the time you guys spent to advertise and sell my property. You guys are awesome and I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family. Thank you again for a great job done."
Ali G
"Lynn Thomas is hands down the best agent I have ever worked with. She truly is professional, thorough, energetic, and committed to her clients' success."
Eric Blackwell
"I worked mostly with Pam Hawkins. She was super, and went above & beyond what she needed to do to make my move as painless as possible, down to the smallest detail! And it did not matter what time of day I contacted her, she was immediately available for me. Her associate, Shaunta Hamby, was helpful as well. If I rated Pam on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, she would definitely be a TEN!"
Irene Loftis
"We will definitely refer you & Kathryn, you are a dynamic duo!!! We truly appreciate your professionalism throughout our entire home purchasing experience. Thank you for making us feel top priority on your list. Everytime we sent an email you replied right back, anytime we had a question or concern you responded and made sure we fully understood. You made our experience about us, every single time, as it should be. Thank you for congratulating us in our home purchase. You absolutely made this an amazing experience for us, the entire way through. Thank you for continuing to provide Excellent Customer Service, that's what it's all about!"
Jocelyn & Chad Newby
"I met the At Home In Louisville Real Estate Group at a difficult time when I was dealing with the death of my sister. I was looking for someone to help in getting through this process, not knowing any realtors in Louisville. I received a letter from a gentleman in regards to the property at 8515 Running Spring Drive in Louisville. It was through this man that I came in contact with Melissa Gabehart and she sat down with me and explained what we would need to do (AWESOME). The quick sale of this property was made possible through the outstanding advertising and marketing by three wonderful ladies: Melissa Gabehart, Shaunta Hamby and Lauren Hammond. I certainly know it takes many more to make it all work, thank you each and everyone so very much. I will forever be eternally grateful for a job well done."
Charles Brownd

Day 19, Feb. 15
Without question, in my eight years that I have served in the legislature, this has been the busiest I have ever experienced.
While I am happy that leadership is trying to get us out by the end of March, the pace by which we have been operating has been very trying and exhausting.
Having last Friday through Monday off was a welcome relief so that we could get back home to our families and businesses.
Although we were not in session yesterday, as a member of the Appropriations Committee, I was at the Capitol as we are currently reviewing the FY12 amended budget.
Being the Chairman of the Criminal Justice Subcommittee, it is my responsibility to oversee the budget for the Department of Corrections as well as the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
We start our day off today with an early morning meeting of the 1st Congressional District Coastal Delegation, chaired by Rep. Ron Stephens.
The two-hour meeting includes presentations by Georgia Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens regarding the difficulty coastal property owners east of Interstate 95 are having obtaining homeowner's insurance.
We also hear from Todd Long, Director of Planning for Transportation in our state regarding the upcoming TSPLOST referendum as well as presentations from the Board of Regents, DNR and Georgia Ports Authority.
As we go into session today, we have three bills on the calendar including SB 246 which increases the employee contribution for new members (as of July 1, 2012) of the Employees Retirement System from $4 per month to $10 per month.
We also pass SB 286, which prohibits future tax commissioners and their employees from becoming members of the Employees Retirement System if they become a tax commissioner on or after July 1, 2012.
SB 269, dealing with voluntary corrective actions for water violations, turns out to be somewhat controversial and is pulled off of the calendar by the author.
Among the many committee meetings that I have this afternoon is a Health and Human Services Committee meeting where I pass out SB 378, a bill I am sponsoring that updates the Controlled Substances Act.
Day 20, Feb. 16
I submit two more bills today as we go into session bringing my total number of bills that I am sponsoring at this point to 14 for the year.
Counting the bills left from last year, I have a total of 25 bills that I am working on.
SB 331, a bill that defines which tasks and duties title insurers are authorized to execute, is one of three bills to pass today.
We also pass SB 358, which requires local governments in Georgia to reciprocate the preferences granted by out of state local governments for vendors in their own states to Georgia's vendors.
The final bill to pass is SB 366, which prohibits certain acts in regards to Juvenile Detention Centers and Youth Development Centers, specifically persons would not be authorized to bring drugs or weapons across the guard line and the sale and trade of contraband is banned.
During our daily time of "personal privilege" today, a number of senators from the minority party speak out critically of the HOPE Scholarship, prompting me and other members of the majority party to go to the well to speak in support of this great scholarship program.
Day 21, Feb. 17
We start out early today with a caucus meeting at 8 a.m. and session at 9 a.m. I present and pass my first bill of the session today as SB 369, extending the repeal date of the Georgia Geospastial Advisory Council (GGAC) from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2015.
The GGAC was created by a bill I passed in 2010 (HB 169) while I was still in the House for the purpose of auditing Georgia's geospatial capabilities at the county, regional and state levels.
The GGAC is charged with making recommendations for utilizing those capabilities to meet FEMA floodplain notification requirements.
We also pass SB 107, increasing the maximum fine for contempt of court in Superior Court from $500 to $1000, and SB 395, which authorizes the collection of SPLOST revenues to be fractionally collected up to a full
1 percent.
SB 362, the Deadhead Logging bill, also passes today.
This bill has been around for many years but has never finished the complete process and is therefore being brought up again.

Old-Fashioned Rich Champagne
Last October while making my way through Champagne, I finally visited a small producer that was first recommended to me many years ago by a customer. It had been some time since I had originally tasted the wines, and I had been contacted by the new generation at the estate about a possible appointment, so I added the stop to my already busy schedule. That producer was Fallet-Dart: one of the oldest estates that we carry from anywhere, with a history of grape growing going back to 1610. They sit at the far western edge of Champagne in Drachy, just outside of Charly-sur-Marne. Their estate is large for a grower-producer, with forty-seven acres of vineyards and a production of about 170,000 bottles a year. They have a very modern winery, with 8000 kilo Pera pneumatic presses and a mix of stainless steel and used Burgundy barrels. Most of their wine is put through malolactic fermentation, but they block the malo on about 10% of their vintage and prestige cuvees that are meant for very long ageing. They age all of their wines for a long time—both on the lees and before shipment on the cork. Even their most basic wines get four years on the lees and nine months on the cork, and their highest end bottling gets over 12 years on the lees. The plantation here is mostly black fruit, pinot noir and meunier, but they also have some very nice chardonnay. The best of that chardonnay is inside their six acre Clos du Mont, one of the very rare, walled, monastic-era vineyards in the region.
Up until now, most of the Fallet-Dart wines have been sold in France. They are about a half hour closer to Paris than Epernay, and so much of the Champagne made in this area never leaves the country. The style of the wines is rich, toasty, and complex as one would expect from such long ageing, but that richness comes from old-fashioned, long-term aging.. Their range starts off with the Fallet-Dart Grand Reserve Brut Champagne which is a blanc de noir composed of 60% meunier and 40% pinot noir. It is aged for over four years on the lees and dosed at about ten grams per liter. It has a lovely combination of spiced pear, pie crust and black cherry on the very generous, open nose. The wine is broad, rich and textural in the mouth, and has a persistent black fruit finish. The Fallet-Dart Grand Selection Brut Champagne is aged for six years on the lees or more and is composed of 70% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. This wine has very fine, brioche like aromas from the long sur-lee-ageing as well as a savory cherry note from the high quality Pinot. It is very rich and long in the mouth, with a fine bead, again from long ageing. This is also available in magnum and three liter with even longer ageing! The Fallet-Dart Brut Rose Champagne is composed of 60% meunier and 40% pinot noir that has been macerated for 48 hours with all of its skins. If you like a big, flavorful rose with a classy bead, you will love this.
The vintage wines at Fallet-Dart have a much higher percentage of Chardonnay, usually more than two-thirds, with the balance pinot noir. They never release a vintage with less than six years on the lees, but it is usually closer to eight. Their top of the range wine is their Fallet-Dart "Cuvee Clos du Mont" Brut Champagne. This comes from a small plot adjacent to the church in Drachy, and has been planted for over 1000 years. The monks of the middle-ages had knowledge of great vineyard sites that we can barely aspire to today, and they never bothered to construct a handmade wall around anything that was short of world class. This clos is now a little worse for wear; it was bombed heavily in World War I and much of the original wall was destroyed. This wine is aged for over twelve years on the lees and is a blend of the great 2002 and 1999 vintages. It is composed of 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot Noir. It is the lowest dosage of the line at five grams per liter, but because of the long ageing is no less rich than the rest. This is one of the greatest Champagnes that we carry, and while we will never get enough to keep it in stock all the time, it is the kind of wine that will stand on the table next to anything. This is creamy, nougat loaded Champagne that manages to be honeyed and fantastically complex without getting heavy or ponderous. If you are a fan of a fine bead, the extraordinary long sur-lee-ageing given to this wine will impress you with a near perfect texture. We're very excited to finally offer the wines of Fallet-Dart at prices that reflect the wonderful advantage of direct-importation.

How to Market Your Time Abroad to Recruiters
By Mairead Tuttle
Time spent studying abroad teaches you so much beyond lessons learned in the classroom. You more than likely spent several weeks, a semester, or even an entire academic year speaking a foreign language, navigating a new city, and learning customs of a culture that might have been much different from yours. Your time abroad was invaluable, as you tell every person who asks you about it.
Unfortunately, not every potential employer will see you time abroad in the same way. The good news is that attitudes toward job candidates who have spent time studying away from their home countries are improving.
A 2011 report from QS Global Employers Survey found that American companies are increasingly looking to hire students who have had professional or academic experience abroad. 54% of American executives and managers surveyed said that they "actively seek or attribute value to an international study experience when recruiting." Until that number reaches 100%, here are a few ways in which you can better market your study abroad experience to recruiters and potential employers.
Emphasize your foreign language skills.
As the global economy becomes increasingly interconnected, employees who speak more than one language are vital to companies that do business around the world. While almost anyone can learn a language in a classroom, living in a foreign city and speaking that language every day exponentially increase your language skills.
Include an anecdote about using your foreign language skills in an everyday situation in your cover letter or during an interview. Perhaps you negotiated down the price of a scarf at a local market in Rabat, or helped a native Parisian figure out why the metro wasn't running on schedule that day.
Stories like these show potential employers that you not only have the ability to take initiative in unknown situations, but that you can also do it in multiple languages.
Talk about how you adapted to your new environment.
Whether it is a classroom or a restaurant, adjusting to the norms a foreign country can be difficult. For example, you might be completely unfamiliar with the format of economics exams in France to point where a professor refuses to give you credit for your work. Discuss with a potential employer how you put in the effort to speak with the professor about your work (which again reminds them of your language skills), learn about the proper format, and perform very well on your next exam.
The same could be said for adapting to your home environment. Whether you lived with a local family or rented your own apartment while abroad, you more than likely navigated a new cultural situation. This is direct evidence of your ability to adapt.
If you studied abroad in an emerging market, your new employer knows that will have an employee with direct knowledge of that market's culture were they to hire you.
Acknowledge the challenges of studying abroad.
Some employers view a semester or year spent studying abroad as a vacation from academics. While almost anyone who has studied abroad knows that this is untrue, it is still a prevalent perception. When we talk about our study abroad experience, we are much more likely to show friends and family pictures from the wonderful excursions we took and tell stories about life-changing events we experienced than to talk about the difficult days when we wanted to go home or seemed to forget the language skills we had worked on for years.
Some of the most valuable lessons learned while studying abroad can come from hardships. By discussing these with potential employers, they are able to see that you are willing to put yourself into situations that you know will be challenging, and that you have the ability to work through them to find success.
Mairead Tuttle is from Pennsylvania and is currently a French and Economics major at Mount Holyoke College. Through her economics classes, she found a passion for business, and hopes to someday work on the management side of the fashion and beauty industries.

It's cookie swap season! I'm participating in my first ever virtual cookie swap with a bunch of talented food bloggers this year. I experimented with three cookie recipes and this is the one I chose to share with you because it's super easy and there's not much you can do to mess this one up. Literally, it'll take you 15 minutes to prepare and then it's in the oven. I tried coming up with a chocolate chip cookie with fresh mint but that was a disaster because somehow it ended up tasting like weed cookies once it came out of the oven. I also thought up of a salted caramel sandwich cookie, but it's labor intensive and easy to mess up the consistency of the caramel. These snickerdoodle wedding cookies are quick and fool proof, no need to add an extra level of stress on this stressful enough holiday!
If you want inspiration for holiday cookies or if you're just here for pretty food photos take a quick peek at my snickerdoodle wedding cookie recipe and hop on over to everyone else's recipes!
Snickerdoodle wedding cookies
for the cookie:
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups sifted flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
for the cinammon sugar:
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3 tsp cinammon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Combine the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Make sure it's fully mixed.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a kitchen aid with the scraper bowl attachment, cream the butter (about one minute on high speed). Add the powdered sugar and cream until light and fluffy (another minute on high). Add the flour and salt and mix on low speed until the mixture looks smooth, but don't overdo it! Over mixing once the flour is incorporated will encourage unnecessary gluten formation. We want the cookies to be crumbly, not bread like. Form dough into small balls about the size of a melon ball and roll each of the cookies in the cinnamon sugar. I like to roll all of the cookies in it once and then go back and do it again for extra cinnamon flavor. Place the cookies on a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
Apple cider bourbon cocktail
- left over cinnamon sugar from the cookies
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 oz brown sugar simple syrup (see below for recipe)
- 1/4 oz Campari
For the simple syrup, combine a tablespoon of brown sugar and a tablespoon of water in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds and mix until all of the sugar dissolves.
Pour the remaining cinnamon sugar in a small plate. In another plate, add some water. Take your coupe and turn it upside down. While keeping it flat, wet the rim of the coupe in the water, then place it in the plate with the cinnamon sugar to coat.
In a shaker, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, 1/4 oz simple syrup and Campari with ice and shake.
Garnish with a rosemary sprig with cranberries for extra festivity (I usually make the holes in the cranberries with something else beforehand to make it easier).

In my mizuna and arugula with goat's milk feta recipe, I mentioned we picked up our first CSA share of the season from Small City Farm. Not only was it a good share, but it was also a fun visit. In the midst of picture perfect Carolina-blue-skies, 70 degree weather, I got to see chickens! The farm itself is full of charm - the kids were sleeping so we didn't get a chance to see much (well, they didn't see anything). Perhaps next week they'll stay awake for the ride. So, check it out! It was a giant goodie basket full of treats. In nearly 48 hours, we will have cooked or consumed most of it. I should note that we have a family of very healthy eaters.
If you are curious, here's a rundown of what we picked up. Quite an eclectic mix, right? I think its taste is exceeded only by the rich variety of its lush, deep color.
Our first CSA share included:
- arugula
- mizuna
- mixed herbs - basil, dill, parsley? (have to check)
- tatsoi
- Arkansas traveler tomatoes
- eggs
- sweet peppers
- serrano (hot!) peppers
Perhaps I shouldn't admit that I didn't know what a couple of these produce items were until today. Now, I am hooked.
Have you ever participated in a CSA? If so, what did your share look like?

Subscribe To Mia Farrow Claims Frank Sinatra, Not Woody Allen, Might Be Ronan's Father Updates
I've already subscribed
Twenty years ago, the seemingly happy lives of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen were ripped apart by a series of scandals. First, she discovered naked pictures Allen had taken of her nineteen-year-old adopted daughter, and second, Dylan, the seven-year-old adopted daughter the couple shared, accused Allen of molesting her. Through multiple custody trials and more public allegations, the story played out on the front pages of newspapers for years, but eventually, everyone involved settled into a fairly quiet routine, at least until the new issue of Vanity Fair brought with it entirely new allegations.
Apparently, there's a real possibility Farrow and Allen's brilliant biological son Ronan might not be Allen's at all. Instead, he may have been fathered by Frank Sinatra. The actress claims she and the legendary musician never totally separated and were sleeping together around the time she got pregnant. Ronan himself, however, isn't quite as convinced. Here's what he said on Twitter…
In addition to Farrow's reveal, Dylan also spoke on the record for the first time about what she claims happened between her and the famous father she never speaks to. She apparently doesn't remember everything that happened because she was only seven, but she remembers enough to know it was (allegedly) wrong.
"There's a lot I don't remember, but what happened in the attic I remember. I remember what I was wearing and what I wasn't wearing. The things making me uncomfortable were making me think I was a bad kid, because I didn't want to do what my elder told me to do. I was cracking. I had to say something. I was seven. I was doing it because I was scared. I wanted it to stop."
The first time through, the police thoroughly investigated Dylan's allegations, and there really wasn't any evidence beyond her testimony. In order to spare her from having to get on the witness stand, the matter was completely dropped, though in retrospect, she wishes she would have followed through and testified. Since day one, Allen has always vehemently maintained his innocence. More than likely, the general public will never know exactly what happened.

I am trying to simplify meal preparation, but still make great (gourmet-type) meals. I don't know why gourmet meals are important to me, but I think it is sort of my way of respecting Mother Earth and all her bounty. I try to make a lot from scratch and to use the freshest ingredients I can find. This meal is still a teensy bit complicated, but I am improving on my menu selection. As an added bonus, I made this recipe up. That's right. This is a Lucy Original. And its not even from a contest or anything!
I sort of lie about using fresh ingredients. Well not lie exactly. Partially to save money, and partially a deep-seated need to save the vegetables, I often buy the rotten produce that they mark down for quick sale. Actually, I don't buy the rotten produce, just those that have been reduced, but are still good. I had a whole bunch of tomatoes, but canned diced tomatoes would work perfectly as well. I also stock-pile dented cans. Half price is half price.
I am planning a series of recipes like this. I think very similar ingredients can be used and if you just change the herb/spice profile, you'll have completely differing results. For this recipe, I used a Greek spice mix that I had previously made. That recipe follows. Any other spice mix, such as an Italian, will be just fine. You can also use flavored diced tomatoes, such as garlic and herb or balsamic onion.
Mediterranean Chicken and Mushroom Bake
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes or about 4 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken thighs
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika, optional
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place tomatoes, in a single layer, in the bottom of a casserole. Season with the Greek seasoning.
Cut slits, next to the bone, on the bottom of each chicken thigh. This is a trick I picked up from the great Jacques Pepin to enable the chicken to cook through without overcooking.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken well with salt and pepper. Brown chicken well on both sides, skin side first, then nestle them in the tomatoes you already placed in the casserole. Season with paprika, if desired, for coloring.
Pour out excess grease from the skillet. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they give up some liquid, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour in the cream and cook while stirring for a couple of minutes just to incorporate.
Pour mushroom sauce over chicken and tomatoes. Place in oven, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is hot and bubbling, 30 minutes.
Serves 4.

Daven Says
We're having a day home from preschool/daycare and work because Daven had a rough night with a tummy that just wouldn't settle. While sick days from my childhood were spent watching The Price is Right, we've been spending our day watching movies on Netflix. By his request, we turned on Baby's Day Out, a movie from the 90s about some bad guys kidnapping a baby and end up getting outsmarted by an infant.
"Momma, I want a baby sister. "
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah and I will want to name her Rocket Raccoon even though she won't actually be a raccoon; she'll be a baby. "

Design, Construction, Products and Maintenance
King Street Vineyards provides everything you need to turn any space on your property into a beautiful and fruit producing compliment to your home.
Five sets of home services
1 Sharing your vision and ideas
The first step in the process is to meet in person at your property to discuss what you hope to establish on your property. There is no cost to the meeting. This is where everything is put on the table and we work together to bring to reality your vision of growing your own fresh fruit and making your property even more beautiful for years to come.
2 Design
Based on the meeting and your requirements, King Street Vineyards provides design options, ideas and budget for your consideration. You will be provided 2D and 3D landscape design models that help you better visualize the possibilities of growing fruit on your property.
3 Construction and Planting
King Street Vineyards is a fully licensed landscape contractor who has the equipment, experience, workmanship, materials and quality work ethic to complete the job on schedule and on budget to your specifications.
4 Products
King Street Vineyards has established relationships with the leading providers of fruit trees, bushes and grape vines in the Northeast.
Furthermore, we stand behind every product we plant through its first season. If the plant or tree fails in its first season, KSV will provide, at no cost, a replacement the following season. We stand behind this guarantee because we deliver the very best trees, vines, berries, and brambles that grow extremely well in our New England climate. To see the complete line of products visit our product catalog page.
5 Maintenance
Designing, constructing and planting your perfect orchard or grape vineyard is important but nothing is more important for ultimately enjoying the "fruits of your labor" than properly maintaining what was built each year, thereafter. Specifically, this means fertilizer, weed control, pest control and annual pruning. During our first meeting (#1 above) your King Street Professional will make sure you fully understand how important annual maintenance is for a successful and bountiful fruit production. In regard to maintenance, King Street Vineyards can do one or all of these tasks. All we want to do is to make sure you have the very best results. For more on Maintenance work please visit our orchard and vineyard maintenance page.

Don't get water in your eyes! is a single channel video that parodies synchronized swimming to engage in a discourse about positionality. All elements in the video are bodily; the audio is a sound created by a performer's mouth, a technique readily taught on Youtube Tutorials. The text is appropriated from online guides in overcoming fear from swimming or entering water. The amateur performers (of multiple ethnicities) are taught choreography inspired by synchronized swimming, dry land exercises, and Pilates. The bodies allude to attempt to stay afloat as well as perform a relationship to each other. This video explores a more intimate investigation of the body's movement in understanding its orientation and the space it inhabits. There is a recent urgency in addressing ideas on migration and mobility in regard to certain ethnic bodies. I am interested in exploring ways in which I can engage digital and performative tools to disorient and delay the viewer attempting to synthesis and mis-recognize the context, action, and especially the subject.
Body of Water is a single channel video piece that is an exploration on marking how the body attempts to move in water, land, and the digital realm. The materiality of the green screen paper (digital fabric) is enacted as the bodies shift; through these movements the surface continues to exist as well as the formation of an uncanny relationship to swimming. The size of the surface allows for close contact between the bodies of intergenerational relation. There are moments of touch between both subjects but the emphasis is to allow the artificial body of water to exist. The merging and delay of actual and imagined realities through references to stock footage readily available on Youtube against an recorded 'immediacy' of the amateur performers. This simple gesture grapples at the futile attempt towards social mobility and a yearning for fluidity in motion as if in water.

I've been in Michigan and Chicago this past week, having a fun time doing school and library visits, the IRA conference, and my agent's annual retreat... it's been a whirlwind! I'm dying to post pics of all these amazing events, but the little slot in my computer where the memory card goes is broken... it got drenched with tea (with lots of milk and honey) one disastrous morning a few months ago (hmm... now how did that happen?) Anyway, I'll be doing a bunch of posts about this trip when I get home next week, but in the meantime, I thought I'd give you this treat...
Isn't it beautiful!? This is more-or-less what the cover of The Queen of Water will look like when it comes out next spring (2011). A coupla little details will be changed, like the word order of the title). This is a photo of Maria Virginia that my friend Ken Burgess took of her! I'm so excited that she's on the cover. I love the rich, warm colors, and the shimmery gold of the beads and lace and her lips... and her expression is so tender and introspective.
Let's hope this is the final cover... there's always a chance it could change, depending on the whims of the giant bookstore chains.
Here's a description of the book:
Born in an Andean village in
Virginia, who has always dreamt of leaving her village, soon embraces the privileges of mestizo life. But as much as she wants to be part of her new family, she instead receives a tangled mixture of love and disdain. Beaten and taunted by her boss, she has to fight to hold onto her spirit and humor. Told that the sole purpose of indigenous girls is to serve, she teaches herself to read and write… and performs science experiments in secret.
But when her most cherished ally betrays her, can she gather the courage and wits to escape? And once free, will
In this poignant novel based on a true story, acclaimed author Laura Resau has collaborated with María Virginia Farinango to recount an indigenous girl's unforgettable journey to self-discovery that will speak to anyone who has ever struggled to find his or her place in the world.
I can't wait until the book is out in the world for you to read! Okay, I'm off to take a walk in this windy, sunny city right now... and then I'll be having dinner with my agent (Erin Murphy) and a bunch of her wonderful authors. Thanks for reading!

Northland Enterprises Bayside development continues to grow/
PORTLAND — Coastal Pharmacy and Wellness is the latest business to locate in Northland Enterprises' Bayside property that was once Century Tire. (Direct link to Mainebiz article.)
The compounding pharmacy, owned and operated by Joe Lorello, Cassi Brooks and Stephen Drapeau, has moved from 84 Marginal Way down the street to Century Plaza, at 29 Marginal Way. The group bought Apothecary By Design's retail pharmacy in 2016, establishing an independent pharmacy and wellness center.
Other businesses that have located at Century Plaza since Northland acquired and redeveloped the property in 2015, are Chipotle Mexican Grill, T-Mobile and Orangetheory Fitness.
Coastal Pharmacy has leased a 2,900-square-foot space on the site, which also is accessed from Kennebec Street.
There are two remaining leasable spaces in the complex — 1,375 square feet between Coastal and T-Mobile, and 1,900 square feet in the second building, off Kennebec Street next to Orange Theory Fitness, according to Josh Benthien, a partner with Northland.
Along with the Century Tire site, Northland acquired 1 Marginal Way, 200 Kennebec St. and 202 Kennebec St. for redevelopment.
The first of those to be developed is the 1,700 square feet at 200 Kennebec St. Leavitt & Sons Deli, of Falmouth, opened its second location there at the end of last year.
The brick building, across Kennebec Street from Century Plaza, had most recently been used as a Century Tire warehouse. A lease agreement with deli owner Peter Leavitt, whose first location is at 37 Depot Road in Falmouth, on the corner of U.S. Route 1, in early 2017.
"The deli is really doing well, and I'm glad to see it," Benthien said. He said the addition of Leavitt & Sons advances Northland's effort to help the neighborhood and the city revitalize Bayside.
"The entire Bayside neighborhood is really coming along, and this is one more locally owned enterprise" he said. "As we looked for the right tenant, we felt that was an important factor for the character of the area. Leavitt's definitely adds some local charm."
He said that 2,000 square feet above Enterprise Rent-A-Car at adjacent 1 Marginal Way is also available.
He said that of the 12 leasable spaces Northland has, the two at Century Plaza and the second-floor space at 1 Marginal Way are the only ones unoccupied.
The Northland developments are part of a larger investment effort into the West Bayside neighborhood in the past few years.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I knew essentially nothing about vaccines 6 months ago. Vaccines & childhood vaccinations (well, vaccinations, period) were simply not on my radar screen at that time.
They grabbed onto me back in February when a fellow activist colleague sent out a message about vaccinations & Vitamin C.
I sent the message on to several close friends & asked them for their opinions.
It was the replies from these friends that actually got me on the learning-about-vaccines highway. Totally un-planned. A detour for then-anti-nuclear activist me. An entirely unexpected detour.
The vaccine issue simply took me so by surprise, it took me by storm. It kidnapped me. Ambushed me.
At first, I suppose I was simply surprised. As in "Whoa! I didn't even know there was an issue around this stuff … any controversy … at all!"
Pretty soon I moved into being stunned & shocked.
"Whoa!!" I was saying. "Holy shit! OMG!!! All this has been going on: autism rates skyrocketing, the number of vaccinations being given to children – & to adults! – going pretty much ballistic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) MMR-autism link scandal (others call it a fraud & a cover-up, & it is both of those, but it is also a scandal; let's call a spade a spade, shall we?) … while I simply wasn't paying any attention at all!"
By the time I'd watched
Shots in the Dark (National Film Board film from 2008) Shots in the Dark
Silent Epidemic; The Untold Story of Vaccines (2013)
The Vaccine Panel: The Insider's Report (2016). Panel discussion in L.A. in Feb. 2016. A ton of useful info. Includes a panelist who used to work for Merck (pharmaceutical company) & now preaches an anti-vaccination message (her site) ++ affected parents & 2 MDs. Herd immunity thoroughly covered.
BOUGHT – the truth behind vaccines, big pharma and your food (2014) Parents of vaccine-damaged children. 2 whistleblowers. Big fines levied against Pharma giants GlaxoSmithKline & Johnson & Johnson. Excellent. (I've seen only Part I so far.)
Trace Amounts – Autism, Mercury, and the Hidden Truth (2014) Fantastic resource on the long history of thimerosal use (the story of how it came to be used is a shocker!); science that has proven its dangers over & over & over again; how the CDC found a strong autism link, then massaged the data until it "went away" – with shots of the transcript of the secret "Simpsonwood" meeting – & voice recordings of Dr. William Thompson, the CDC scientist who is now ashamed of his vaccine work with CDC & states the CDC has put vaccine science 10 years behind. Also: the Bush ties – both Georges – with the pharmaceutical industry. How males are at much higher risk for autism. Other sources of mercury in the environment. Decades of the autism rate being 1 in 10,000. Through the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. Until the 90s. Then? The autism generation. Aluminum also mentioned, btw. (I rented the documentary online. $6 for 72 hours of use. Highly recommended!)
& this lecture Trojan Horses & Cluster Bombs <Nov. 2015> by Dr. Suzanne Humphries about aluminum in vaccines
… well, by then I wasn't just stunned anymore. I'd become appalled & sickened – heartbroken, actually – that such a horrific, purely greed, profit-driven (only supposedly health-driven) agenda – was, has been & still is – taking place all around us – pushed & driven by our "health care" professionals & "health" agencies, no less.
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa…
So, yes, by this time, after hours & hours of watching documentaries, reading articles, watching YouTubes – learning of the autism epidemic (but not just the autism epidemic; also the rising epidemic of sick children: of asthma & allergies, learning disabilities, ADD, ADHD, diabetes, etc. etc. etc.), the U.S. CDC (Centers for Disease Control) cover-up, & gradually, learning about the devastation to people's lives
… & simultaneously, the growing body of science about the dangers of the MMR vaccine in particular (& the others, more generally … since it's not just about babies & children & autism; it's about all vaccines, & people of all ages)
& the growing number of doctors now dissenting, thank you very much, from the Great Vaccine Experiment
(& the U.S. Congressman calling for an investigation into the CDC cover-up)
I was (& continue to be) stunned, shocked, sickened, appalled & horrified – & also, it's fair to say, flabbergasted & gobsmacked
by what's been going on while so very very many of us have simply not been minding the store.
& then
Then, when I began to stick my head up above the parapet (as it were), & becoming vocal about what I'd learned – on my blog, on Facebook, & via my email lists (did I mention I've been an activist for 30 years now? Information-sharing & networking are what I do)
I became once again, flabbergasted & gobsmacked … this time, at people's reactions & remarks.
What People Say!
I'm not going to quote anyone. (I'm kind of embarrassed for people; some things some (not all) say are pretty irrational, & make it abundantly clear they have spent no time at all doing any meaningful research of their own.)
But you can characterize many of the remarks as:
"Have you gone crazy? Vaccinations are like motherhood & apple pie. You're just nuts for questioning them!!"
I suppose what has shocked me the most is people's apparent unwillingness to pursue the research sources I've suggested to them – even a little – for themselves.
That is what I really want (& beg) people to do.
Not to accept my word for this, for after all, I'm only 6 months into this learning experience. Don't trust me. Check out the scientists, the researchers. The doctors who used to be pro-vaccine, who are now vocally anti. The Congressmen demanding the CDC be brought to heel, & dangerous substances be taken out of vaccines.
& not just to accept the bland reassurances of the pharmaceutical industry-backed "experts" who claim all is well. (It is well, for them! Very very well indeed. Billions of $$ of profit for Big Pharma. Financial incentives for doctors who keep their patients on the full vaccine regime in the U.S. (so I have heard). Collusion with government agencies, what we could call the "health establishment.")
By people's naivete in supposing that Big Pharma & Big Government really & truly have ours – yours & my … & our children's – best interests at heart. As if!
I suppose this naivete is somewhat touching, rather poignant, even (we humans are fundamentally such naive and trusting creatures, hmmmm?). But … very (very!) dangerous!
I may have neglected to mention that I've been an activist for 30 years now, & learned the long, slow painful way that so-called "regulatory agencies" – on pesticides & nuclear energy, for example, issues on which I spent years in the trenches – are utterly captives of industry, utterly corrupted, & that while they claim to be "regulators," they are in fact out-&-out promoters of industry agendas. I was a slow learner, I'm afraid. The news on all this was so deeply disturbing, I took it on fully quite slowly. Now I see that our "health agencies" are health agencies in name only. I'm sure doctors set broken bones well (I certainly hope they do!), but they do entirely too much quarterbacking for the pharmaceutical industry that wines, dines & bribes them, along with politicians & the overall "health establishment."
I point people to the science on the MMR-autism link (also this mind-blowing one) … & other health impacts, from other vaccines; scary, truly scary. I send them YouTube links about the growing number of doctors dissenting
(Dr. Humphries memorably said
"I was once an idiot. I once thought that people who didn't vaccinate were taking advantage of all the people that were. I thought that they were being privileged opportunists, and I was a vaccinating doctor, because I was taught nothing about vaccines, because I had never met an unvaccinated child. But once I met unvaccinated children, and started seeing problems first-hand with vaccinations in my own patients – and started doing my own research – I flipped around 180 degrees. And I've known other doctors that were able to do that as well, and some of them, because parents like you have presented the facts to them – quietly, calmly and rationally. That's key." (find this near the end of her Finland talk, here).
All of it seemingly falling on deaf ears! Deaf ears & closed minds.
"Don't confuse me with the facts" is the reaction I am (mostly) receiving.
So, flabbergasted I remain.
Does it take seeing at first hand a precious, healthy, beautiful, dearly-loved infant, toddler or child – morphing overnight into a fever & convulsions-affected, clearly suffering, pain-afflicted child – & then into an unresponsive automaton (parents repeatedly report that their baby is suddenly … gone. Just … gone) … or even dying (& again, it is not "just" babies affected, but people of all ages, reacting in scary numbers to any/all vaccines)
to be able to listen to, & hear, the 1000s & 1000s of parents now affected by this vaccine-induced epidemic? Who have been trying to warn us for quite some time now?
Apparently, it does!
Apparently, it does.
Colour me
& also, very very VERY frustrated.
The Ironies
The so-called "anti-vaxxers" are not only not the devil's spawn (as some particularly vociferous voices on Facebook seem to suggest; their overheated reactions stun me!)
They were
Parents. Who. Had. Their. Children. Vaccinated
& were harmed – deeply, irrevocably harmed
They have had to deal with a medical community that first of all bullied & harassed them into "getting with the program" & administering to their children supposedly "safe" vaccinations
& then, once their children were harmed, largely abandoned them.
Only after becoming like proverbial canaries in the coal mine did they become "anti-vaxxers" (if they are indeed "anti-vax." Many seem simply to be calling for more research, safer vaccines, a CDC that can be trusted – though that's probably an impossibly tall order).
These people have walked through the fire, Reader!
Only then to be scorned, criticized and ridiculed by other parents & "health" professionals for not being happy converts to the Great Vaccine Experiment.
Well. I've just thought of another word to add to my list.
I was tempted to say I apologize if I've offended you with my passion & anger on this issue.
But you know what?
I'm not going to do that.
I am not sorry for speaking up. I am only sorry now that I remained ignorant about this issue for so bloody damn long.
I invite (& implore) you join me in waking up & smelling the coffee. (& then, in taking action!)
p.s. do you want to hear another irony? You can bet your sweet patootie that a whole lot of CDC staff members (all too well aware of the scandal that had CDC scientists manipulate & then destroy data & documents proving the MMR vaccine-autism link & cover it up for 14 years until whistleblower Dr. William Thompson spilled the beans) do not have their own children vaccinated. & I bet you plenty of pharmaceutical industry folks don't have their kids vaccinated, either (or take medications that they know full well are dangerous). & I bet you plenty of doctors who push vaccines down your throat, don't have their kids vaccinated.
Do you see why I feel more than a little outraged??
p.p.s. please consider visiting the Learn The Risk Web site. A former Merck (pharmaceutical) rep left her career & has become passionate about informing parents about vaccine risks. Her site has a ton of useful information. You can see photos of children who met with disaster (or death) as a result of vaccinations. These images will very likely hurt or break your heart. My own heart was already broken on this subject before I came across her site, & I'll admit, I am only able to look at the page quickly, in passing.
But we honour the affected families by being willing to confront the truth of what really, actually happened to them … and surely, that is the very least we can do for families whose lives have been put through a meat-grinder of unimaginable personal tragedy and loss?
*** For information on the Canadian scene, best place to visit is Vaccine Choice Canada. Simply TONS of great information there.
p.p.p.s. please visit the VAXXED Web site to learn about that documentary, & for a ton of related & useful information. Short-term viewing options now available for minimal cost. DVDs of the documentary will be available soon!
p.p.p.p.s. my 4 previous postings have also been about vaccines/vaccination. Feel free to check them out. The one called 'Vaccines: 12 things you may not know' contains a very large # of links that can help you learn plenty about this important issue (& it is very-very far from being exhaustive!?). But to be quite honest, you could probably learn all you need to know from the Learn The Risk site!
p.s. # 5: I must also, & very importantly, add that as I have talked about this more & more with friends, I've learned that the number of vaccine-injured children is very high … & not reflected in doctors'/health units' statistics, as the doctors involved almost invariably deny that the child's allergic reaction or subsequent health issues are related to the child's vaccination! So there is truly an epidemic not just of known vaccine injuries, but of un-reported ones. Finally, the more parents I talk to among my admittedly limited acquaintance of parents with children born since 1989 (when the # of vaccines being given was bumped up)
the more I hear that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children due to their concerns about possible negative outcomes (or possibly having suffered a negative or disastrous one, then subsequently refraining from additional vaccinations), are very-very quiet about their decision – because all they get is horrific flack if they make the mistake of speaking up about it.
I have to emphasize something yet again. I've been an activist for 30 years now, got into the game (having at the start, of course, no conception whatsoever of the places this activism would take me) because I cared (still care) so much about the state of the world … not just for my own children, but for all children, & all human beings (well, all creatures!).
I only began learning about this particular issue a little under 6 months ago now.
I was, am now, & suspect I will remain, flabbergasted & gobsmacked.
Both by the true situation, & by people's seemingly unquestioning attitudes about it.
I suppose people need to feel they can retain some trust in someone – some professional group, some agency – in this ever-more-messed-up, unpredictable, chaotic world of ours. They want so badly to be able to trust. I understand that.
But it does not pay to be unquestioning in this world of ours, I'm afraid. It just really, really doesn't.

WORCESTER, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's golf team shot a team score of 317 and finished fourth in a 13-team field at the Nichols Fall Invitational Sunday at the par-72 Green Hill Golf Course.
Holy Cross and Worcester State tied for first at 308, while Endicott was next at 315. Johnson & Wales trailed the Corsairs with a score of 324.
Individually, senior Scott Woodacre (Westborough, MA/Westborough HS) shot a 78, sophomore Brandon Oldham (Mattapoisett, MA/ORR HS/Allegheny/BCC) and sophomore Matt Connolly (Lynnfield, MA/Lynnfield HS) each came in at 79, junior George Gillmore (Cotuit, MA/Barnstable HS/Fairfield) shot an 81, and junior Nick Jagoe (Westport, MA/Westport HS) came in at 83.
"I was happy with our performance," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Joel Baptista. "We were very competitive today, although we had a couple of double bogeys and triple bogeys at bad times, and we have to stay focused for all 18 holes. That can make the difference between winning a losing. Overall, it was a solid effort by our team, we finished third among Division III schools, and it was a great week for our team."
UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host the UMD Fall Invitational next Sunday.

Head In The French Cloud - Rachel Delacour
It's not enough to be a rising entrepreneur. It's essential to be a voice. And a mentor. And this is why Impossible is not a French word! has been the buzz phrase of the summer for all the French technology entrepreneurs. A phrase that Rachel Delacour, CEO of BIME Analytics, launched in Nantes at the Web2Days event where she was one of the main speakers - a phrase that caught fire - from Montpellier, the center of the La French Tech initiatives in the region and all the way to Paris where she presented her global vision during the France Digitale conference.
The great international achievements of BIME Analytics gave a major image boost to the emerging French digital industry and a higher level of trust in its capacity to compete with / within mature markets such as the ones in the USA or Asia. As a sign of recognition for all these feats, Rachel Delacour has been awarded the La Tribune Women's Award in the Digital Industry by Philippe Saurel - the mayor of Montpellier.
Rachel Delacour is on track to being nominated for the European Web Entrepreneur of the Year. Follow the Europioneers page starting with the 31st of August and vote for Rachel and BIME Analytics until the 19th of September!
The award highlights Rachel Delacour's initiatives that made Montpellier as one of the main cities in the La French Tech national program. 9 women in the Languedoc-Roussillon region were given this honour and Rachel outlined once more in her award speech that the cloud computing market is opening up never seen before opportunities for local French entrepreneurs to expand quickly and efficiently at a global level (see her intervention at 2:50).
LaTribune also created a complete portrait of Rachel in an interview through which the newspaper offered young entrepreneurs in France the opportunity to hear her thoughts on the direction the French digital industry.
She explained to the readers that BIME Analytics' success is based on the global vision she and her co-founder, Nicolas Raspal, had from the very beginning for the product they created as the company develops its business all over the world with US being one of the main markets for the cloud BI solution. More than that, as the company opened its first office in the US, in Kansas City, she unveiled the mirage of the Silicon Valley and highlighted the potential for accelerated recruitment of brilliant people in an emerging tech region of the US in comparison to the already crowded Palo Alto alleys. Last but not least, Rachel presented the future company plans for expansion and her own plans to helping French tech start-ups as a mentor and business angel.
Rachel Delacour is on track to being nominated for the European Web Entrepreneur of the Year. Follow the Europioneers page starting with the 31st of August and vote for Rachel and BIME Analytics until the 19th of September!

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - Romanian prosecutors investigating an alleged bribery scheme have questioned the former finance minister about the origins of 100 paintings, including three works by Pablo Picasso.
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) � Romanian prosecutors investigating an alleged bribery scheme have questioned the former finance minister about the origins of 100 paintings, including three works by Pablo Picasso.
Prosecutors questioned Darius Valcov on Friday, saying the paintings had been hidden by four of his friends. The works have been sent to art experts for evaluation. Valcov, under house arrest since Thursday, declined to comment.
Among the paintings are works by Romanian painters Corneliu Baba and Nicolae Grigorescu as well as sketches by Picasso and works by Renoir and Andy Warhol. Prosecutors said some of the artworks had been purchased for him by an art dealer at two Bucharest auction houses.
Prosecutors said Valcov was an art collector who wanted to conceal the origin of money dishonestly gained.
Valcov resigned March 15 after prosecutors charged him with taking 2 million euros ($2.1 million) in bribes when he was the mayor of a small town in exchange for awarding contracts to a local businessman.
Valcov hid a Renoir painting, three kilograms (6.6 pounds) of gold and stashes of cash worth $410,000 in a friend's safe from 2011, prosecutors said. He was mayor of Slatina from 2004 to 2012.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta on Friday named Eugen Teodorovici, was previously the minister for European funds, as the country's new finance minister. He will be sworn in next week.
In an unrelated case, prosecutors on Friday arrested lawmaker Theodor Nicolescu and said he is suspected of receiving 6.2 million lei ($1.5 million) from 2008 to 2013 in exchange for overestimating the value of real estate handed back to former owners. The kickback he is suspected of pocketing came after he restituted land in 2007 that had been seized by the communists. At the time, he was deputy chief of state restitution property board.
Romanian prosecutors have launched a series of high-level corruption investigations in the past year.
