Coming into last Thursday's local soccer square-off at the Water Tower Recreation Center, host Norwood Fontbonne Academy was undefeated and the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy boys middle school varsity team was winless.
It was only the second official game of the season for both the NFA Bears and the SCH Blue Devils, and both teams left the Water Tower with 1-1 records following a 5-1 victory for the visitors.
At the beginning of the week Springside Chestnut Hill had launched its season with a 7-2 loss at Shipley School, where Mike Buck scored a goal in real-time play for the Devils and also converted a penalty kick. On Wednesday, Norwood was also on the road, notching a 5-0 win at Nazareth Academy, a fellow member of the Catholic Academies League. There, Max Mocharnuk rang up a hat trick for the local booters, and the other two goals came from Joey Devine and Phil Burkhardt (who is only a sixth grader).
In Thursday's local encounter Owen Williamson played most of the game in goal for Norwood, and Will Adler came in for the final four minutes. SCH split time in the cage between Joe Conlin and David Brenman.
Williamson had a busy afternoon, seeing a lot of pressure from the Blue Devils. Fortunately for Norwood, the visitors were called offsides on their first three rushes at the Bears' den, but they eventually got on the board with 10-and-a-half minutes remaining in the first half, when Jack Lamb dribbled up the left wing and fired a successful outside shot.
More SCH markers were not long in coming. Griffin Glendinning scored from near the left post a little over a minute later, netting what would prove to be the game-winning goal.
In Norwood's league the many of the teams play co-ed line-ups, and while only boys started in Thursday's match, Nora Kenney subbed in near the end of the first half.
With under six minutes to go in the opening round, Buck raised Springside Chestnut Hill's lead to 3-0, bagging his third goal of the week. Not long after that, Lamb took a corner kick from the left side, and the ball bounced back out to him off of a defender. He lined up a shot from a tough angle along the endline and made good on the attempt, putting the Devils up 4-0.
Norwood was able to snap the shutout before halftime, though. The Bears brought the ball through traffic up the middle of the field, and the charge culminated in a goal by Joey Devine with two minutes left to play in the first period.
The score remained 4-1 until the middle of the second half, when Jan Alex stuffed in the rebound of a teammate's shot for SCH's fifth and final goal of the day. Norwood's Williamson made several difficult saves after that to keep the Blue Devils from adding to their total.

Something stinks in Los Angeles: Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are a shocking 24-28.
The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Miami Heat on Sunday. This is not wildly important. What's important is that the Lakers continue to be a mess. Barring a shocking turnabout, they will not win the NBA title. It's quite possible they may not make the playoffs; as it stands right now, they wouldn't even qualify. They have lost more than 50% of their games. They are inhaling their second coach. They have been playing a little better lately, including Sunday in Miami. But that's not important, either. What's important is that they usually play like strangers who met on an airport shuttle bus. What's important is that they bicker. That is the role they are playing.
The Lakers have made a huge deal out of being a Big Mess. The spectacular underachievement of the 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers—it is not a collapse; you have to build something in order to then collapse it—is practically its own industry by now. LakerFail has been a media-saturating saga for months, starting with the firing of coach Mike Brown in early November through the struggles of replacement coach Mike D'Antoni to the recent weeks of intrasquad bad feelings among the team's biggest names. LakerFail is treated with the instant-update gusto of an international war zone or an election night; it is often given far more attention and space than the very real successes of contenders like Oklahoma City, or San Antonio, or even the defending champion Heat. Can Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard cease their psychological warfare? Is D'Antoni the right coach? Will they sneak in as the Western Conference's eighth seed? On and on it goes. It's as if the security of Western civilization hinges upon Los Angeles's return to basketball adequacy.
Or does it? Maybe it's totally sufficient for the Lakers to be bad. Maybe being a Big Mess is their role this season. Because it is very easy to detect, amid this mania over LakerFail, and the supposed "concern" for the Lakers, a certain amount of unrestrained glee, even fascination, especially as one drifts further away from the purple and gold in Southern California. What fuels the glee, of course, were enormous expectations for these prematurely preordained Lakers. They created from hoarded parts: pre-existing stars Bryant and Pau Gasol were joined in the off-season by All-Stars Howard and Steve Nash, and there was an assumption that this boldface, Frankenstein'd outfit, while not assured of a Finals run, would give heavy competition to rivals like the Thunder and Spurs. New hires Nash and Howard appeared side-by-side on the cover of Sports Illustrated, under the headline NOW THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.
It has not been fun. Funny, perhaps. Not fun.
But it hasn't diminished the fascination with the team. Sports adores a Big Mess. A Big Mess is its own kind of obsession, too—ugly, raw, pocked by infighting, open to debate and second-guessing. (Admittedly, it's a lot more fun to play "What's wrong with the Lakers?" than "What's right about the San Antonio Spurs?") The interest in these Lakers is not very different than the obsession in the recent iterations of the Boston Red Sox, a baseball team that plummeted spectacularly from contention in September 2011, fired its manager and then spent most of 2012 walking around the AL East with an aluminum pail over its head. Or the New York Jets, a franchise that feels less and less like a football team and more like an avant-garde sketch-comedy outfit. Why, late in the season, was it possible to hear long, animated discussions of what poor soul should be sentenced to quarterback a team that had long been out of the playoffs?
Because the Jets were a Big Mess. And people love a Big Mess.
It's possible to see here the influence of a generation's worth of reality television. Everybody knows that in reality TV, merit means little. What matters is the messiness—the squabbling and self-obsessiveness and removal of dignity that makes a person feel comfortable wrestling their sister on her wedding day. We gawk harmlessly at the self-immolation; it makes us feel better. That's the formula. Nobody wants to watch some perfect family getting along, showing respect and love for each other.
Zzz. Nope. We want a mess.
The Lakers did not want this. And they are not the worst basketball team in the NBA. No way. Not as long as the Charlotte Bobcats exist. After next weekend's All-Star Game, it may be hard for Los Angeles to reverse the bad energy of the season's first half. Howard has been uncomfortable all season; frustrated Kobe looks ready to get in his car and drive south to Patagonia. If the Lakers make the playoffs, it may be a short stay.
Still, they have made their mark. They have served a purpose. They have entertained. This season, the Lakers have been the Big Mess.

Mary Deone Daniells was born on her parents' ranch near Mercedes, Texas. Her grandmother, Dora Bliss helped with her delivery. The house in the picture is the house where she was born. Her parents, W.C. and Iva Daniells, were proud of their new glass window that they got before Mary was born. Her middle name is the name of one of her mother's closest friends, Deone Oppenlander.
When she was about six months old, the Daniells family moved to Chicago and, about 18 months later, to Watertown Township near Wacousta. Except for her third grade year, Mary and her sisters attended Watertown Center School until she completed eighth grade. The family spent her third grade year in Tavares, Florida.
In 1923, the family moved to Eustis, Florida, where Mary graduated from high school. She enrolled in Florida State College for Woman in Tallahassee. Money was scarce during the depression, and she worked in the school lunch room and supplemented her income by darning silk stockings. Her mother assisted by taking in teachers and also repairing stockings. At the end of her junior year, Mary moved back to Michigan to live with her grandparents and completed her last year at Albion College.
Donald Winegar and Mary grew up attending the same church in Wacousta and knew each other slightly. They attended different schools and really had little contact other than at church. In 1928 the Daniells family visited Michigan during the summer. She attended the Epworth League at the church. It was decided that there should be a debate. Nina Winegar, Don's older sister, and the minister's son were the negative side, Mary and Don became the affirmative side. Mary doesn't remember what the topic was, but she remembers that she and Don won. This was the first time that they saw themselves as a couple. They were married 10 years later.
Don and Mary spent their honeymoon at the lake cottage near Greenville, Michigan, built by Orla and Kate Bailey around 1932. Kate Bailey was a cousin of Iva Daniells, Mary's mother. The Winegar family loved Bass Lake and the cottage so much that 22 years later, Kate insisted that they should have it and arranged an open ended loan that allowed them to pay it off as they were able. Many years later after the death of Mary, her son Jim bought out his brother and sisters and now owns the cottage.
After their marriage, Mary worked full time as a minister's wife and a mother of four. They had twin daughters and two sons. They were:
- Donna Lorraine, b. 1939
- Mary Elaine, b. 1939
- James Steven, b. 1944
- Carleton David, b. 1952
After Donald's death, Mary moved to Bishop's Glen retirement home in Holly Hill, Florida. She and her sister Eleanor had apartments on the same floor. As Mary's health declined, Eleanor played a major role in her care. Mary passed away in 2003 in Holly Hill, Florida. Mary and Donald are buried in Wacousta Cemetery. Eleanor Daniells, the last remaining of the five Daniells sisters, died in 2008 and is also buried in Wacousta Cemetery.

Cult hit God Hand was one of the last title released by Capcom's now-shuttered-subsidiary Clover Studio. Shinji Mikami, creator of Resident Evil, designed the game. He now has regrets.
When it was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006, God Hand was met with positive-to-mixed reviews. Fans, however, appreciated the zany and quirky humor.
"I've released a lot of titles before and I feel that, perhaps specifically with regard to God Hand, I was given too much freedom to make that game just as I liked," Mikami told Edge in a recent interview. "It didn't sell too well."
The game allowed players to knee enemies in the nards and then punch them into space.
Mikami is working on a sci-fi third-person shooter called Vanquish for Sega and Platinum Games.
"We're definitely going for something a little more mass market that will appeal to a wide audience," Mikami continued. "Certainly a bigger one than God Hand had. We [Platinum and Sega] knew that these were points we had to address from the very beginning, and Vanquish is a result of that."
So think of Vanquish as Shinji Mikami having less freedom than for God Hand and trying to sell more game copies. Less freedom, more sales and more vanilla?

Nice to meet you! Interview with a Blogger
This month, we're delighted to hear from Sasa of Sasasunakku. ("sunakku" is how a Japanese person would pronounce "snack" and I'm half Japanese).
Tell us about your blog in five words: Stories, recipes and fighting hangrrr (anger that comes from hunger ;P)
Where do you find inspiration for your blog?
In the food I make – often ideas for stories are evoked by the recipes or ingredients. For example, where I learned to make something or where I first ate something. Also, other bloggers, especially those whose writing I love or who post unusual recipes that catch my eye and lastly how I'm feeling/what is happening in my life at the time.
Three blogs you can't stop visiting right now:
3! Can I say more? There are so many…
- Pease Pudding
- Alessandra Zecchini
- Curious Kai
- At Down Under
- Cous Cous and Consciousness
- Hungry and Frozen
- Heartbreak Pie
And I bet I've missed some too.
The best thing about blogging is…
Meeting lovely people from around the world – I thought I had a pretty international set of friends because I've lived in so many countries but I've met so many more – I've made some firm friends in the U.K, the U.S and Berlin among other places already, and I've been blogging less than a year. Food bloggers have a real sense of community and I've had so many people reach out to me. I'm actually meeting 4 Kiwi blogging friends for the first time when I come home.
Also, it's been instrumental in getting previously un-techy me a bit savvier; I'm lucky to have a good friend who helps me but I've done all the backend stuff myself and learned a lot as I did it.
The worst thing about blogging is…
Um…Spammy Viagra sites leaving comments? Akismet does a great job of separating the spam from comments but I still check manually in case it does bin something from a real person. Also, while most PRs are lovely and polite, I've had a few who send emails asking me to promote their product without even checking my name! The emails start "Hi there…" I'm not sure why anyone would want to promote their product without thoroughly checking out the ethos of a site in the first place actually. I'm certainly not opposed to advertising or anything, I just haven't found anything I like enough to promote yet and I don't want to bore my readers with something they wouldn't care about.
Top three tips for happy blogging:
Heh, I have four, what can I say, I'm a blabbermouth eldest child.
- Find a subject you care about or a good reason or you'll get bored and give up; I started Sasasunakku because I wanted something that would help me be disciplined about writing – I have always loved writing but I'm a master procrastinator. Knowing there are people who want to read my work is a great motivator.
- Even if you don't like an aspect of blogging, keep at it and you might surprise yourself – I hated taking photos at first but I knew they were an integral part of a food blog and now, while I'm far from being a good photographer, I quite enjoy puttering around with a camera and props.
- Keep challenging yourself – videos and interviews are some of the things I've incorporated and I was so pleased with the response.
- Also I think it's really important to reach out to others in your niche – it's easy to feel "Oh, my stuff's not as good as theirs" etc. but unless you engage in the community I feel you may as well keep an diary; the rewards are so great.
Experiences you'd like to share from your blogging career?
I've got to interview and/or been in touch with a couple of my food blogging heroes and I often get lovely packages in the mail from other sweet bloggers – homemade jam, cookies, Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise and sweets. Even though we're all online a lot, many bloggers treasure snailmail as a way to keep contact real and I love sending and receiving packages so it's a lovely bonus.
Thanks so much Sasa! Click here to visit Sasasunakku.

It's hard to believe the first week of February is almost over, although with all the snow, cold temps and abundance of rain we've been having, Winter can't end soon enough for me. I miss the sun and am ready for flowers blooming in my garden.
Also trying to add bits of color around the house like these French glass bottles on my bottle rack.
I was going through some of my vintage items recently and decided to stack this trio of chippy white benches in the dining room. My favorite being this little guy on top from France. You can't go wrong with all this chippiness and beautiful blooms any time of year.
I'm hoping Spring comes quickly and that you have a wonderful weekend!

STEVENSON, Md., Aug. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court of Massachusetts on behalf of purchasers of InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. ("InVivo" or the "Company") (Other OTC:NVIV) common stock during the period between April 5, 2013 through August 26, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period").
If you have suffered a loss from investment in InVivo common stock purchased on or after April 5, 2013 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period, as described below, and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html. You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at email@example.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616. No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no more than 60 days from the date of the issuance of a statutory notice of the filing of the lawsuit and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Company units during the Class Period.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants' failure to disclose during the Class Period the time within which its first-in-man clinical study for our biopolymer scaffolding product would be complete and data submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). According to the complaint, following Company's August 27, 2013 press release disclosing that the FDA had placed conditions on the approval of an Investigational Device Exemption that would make the Company's stated target date for completing the study and submitting data to the FDA was impossible, the value of InVivo shares declined significantly.
Attorneys at Brower Piven have extensive experience in litigating securities and other class action cases and have been advocating for the rights of shareholders since the 1980s. If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.

The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) has produced a new, Web-accessible brochure that explains the process for buyers and sellers to identify outstanding equipment liens.
NAEDA's four-page Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Brochure, freely available via the Internet at www.naeda.com, explains why buyers and sellers need to know about UCC law and how to check for UCC-1 filings.
It also defines liens specific to an individual piece of equipment and blanket liens. Buyers, sellers and secured parties must agree on how liens are handled before a legal transaction protecting all parties can take place.
Quick reference guide
The UCC brochure was produced as a quick reference guide to lien considerations and supports NAEDA's efforts to reduce transaction risks for equipment dealers and their customers. A UCC Search resource, also available free on NAEDA's Web site, links users to an interactive map of the United States and allows them to contact state lien-tracking sources.
The North American Equipment Dealers Association is based in Fenton, Mo. It provides educational, finance, industry relations, legal assistance, and legislative services to more than 4,800 retail agricultural, industrial and outdoor power equipment dealers in the United States and Canada.

With corn planting underway, he says, farmers already were turning on the pivots just to get the crop to emerge from the ground. They had received just 4" of rain in the previous 30 months. "We're looking at historic situations, whether it be trends in prices or trends in yields," says Flory, who presented his 2013 grain outlook on Tuesday during a webinar hosted jointly by Farm Journal and Watt Ag Media. "The drought that we've got in the central and western Corn Belt and the central and southern plains is a tough one." Both Flory and Tom Elam, president of FarmEcon LLC, say uncertainty over weather conditions will result in volatile grain prices. They spoke ahead of the prospective plantings and quarterly grain stocks reports due out Thursday. "It makes hedging and cash contracting a nightmare," Elam says. While corn prices could climb to $10/bu. under a drought scenario comparable to that of 2012 and an average national yield of 125 bu./acre, that price wouldn't last long, he adds. "That's just too much stress on the system," Elam says. The potential range for old- and new-crop corn prices this year is $4/bu. to $8/bu., Flory says. He indicated he is hesitant to say an excellent growing season is developing simply because planting isn't getting underway as quickly as it might have. Uncertainty surrounding the timing of planting, summer weather and other factors makes it difficult to pin down prices, Elam says. In particular, the "loaded gun" that is the western Corn Belt drought is an important consideration. As for the exports forecast, Flory says they are the lowest he's seen in a long time. The drought "erased 40 years, or four decades', worth of work to build up the export market for U.S. corn," he says, and it will time to get back to past levels. At the same time, exports have helped sustain the meat and poultry production system in the last three years, Elam says. Livestock and poultry feeders will continue to be challenged by high and ever-changing feed costs. Meanwhile, nine poultry companies have declared bankruptcy since 2008, and two more have undergone forced sales. Two more meat plants shut down recently. Increasing demand for ethanol under the Renewable Fuel Standard will limit corn availability further in the future. A slight increase in poultry production is expected to offset a slight decline in beef production in 2013, Elam says. That's miraculous given the cost-per-pound increase producers have experienced, coupled with an ongoing decline in meat consumption per capita. Other points of interest from the webinar: Soft red winter wheat is in good shape, likely resulting in an early supply of feed from the Eastern Corn Belt. About 9.5 million acres of cotton likely will be planted this year in the U.S. That's below USDA projections of 10 million acres. The departure from cotton acres will leave between 2.5 million and 3 million open for other crops, primarily corn. Southern corn will be harvested earlier than corn elsewhere, and that supply will bridge the gap from tight old-crop supplies to the new-crop situation. Growing opportunities will expand if soil moisture conditions ease over Iowa, most of Minnesota and down into Missouri and South Dakota. China continues to buy old-crop U.S. soybeans because of loading delays in South American harbors. The number of waiting vessels surpassed 100 last week, and the total wait time is between 45 and 50 days from the time a vessel arrives for loading to the time it departs with soybeans. Average growing conditions for corn would project a national average yield of 150 bu./acre, Flory says. That's up from the 123 bu./acre national average yield for the 2012-13 drought year. Food affordability is declining amid higher prices and slow economic growth. The economy has been growing significantly slower than it generally does in a post-recession recovery, Elam says. Corn prices do matter for food costs. ""We can see that when corn prices depart from their long-term trend that food costs in the economy depart in the same direction," he says, noting that the trend will continue this year and in 2014. The base crop forecast is for some limited room for protein production expansion, a rebound in corn exports and improved protein production profitability, Elam says. The base projection minus 15 bu./acre of corn would result in higher corn production than in 2012 but a sharply lower feed supply, much higher feed costs and price pressures, and $8.50/bu. corn for a good piece of the year. Additionally, more protein and ethanol companies likely would shut down. A brighter scenario—the base projection plus 15 bu./acre of corn—could result in a significant rebound in feed use and exports and expanded protein production in 2014.

Though it launched on May 20th, we've been so busy playing the new game for the Wii called Excitebots: Trick Racing that we've had no time until now to write a review. Like MarioKart, Excitebots is a fun racing game played with an optional wheel controller. Excitebots is a lot different from other racers we own however.
First off, you're not racing cars. Oh no, with a name like Excitebots, cars just wouldn't do. You have your choice of a variety of giant robotic insects and similar creatures. Yup, you're in complete control of things like a speeding metal lady bug, laying waste to all that oppose your polka-dotted fury.
Then come the tricks. In this game, finishing first is not the primary objective. As you tear around the outdoors in your grasshopper of destruction, you score points for a variety of crazy maneuvers. These are as simple as crashing into other bots or jumping hundreds of feet through the air, to flipping around bars with retractable arms and shaking a tambourine. Yes, I said shaking a tambourine.
On the tracks are special gifts you can unwrap. Inside are a variety of surprises that either help you gain an edge in the race or unlock an on-track mini game right in front of you. These include sports-related actions like knocking a soccer ball into a goal to the downright scary like throwing a pie into a freaky clown face. As silly as this all sounds, all of it is incredibly fun and satisfying (at least for a while).
The other major feature that makes this game fun is the sense of speed. When you hit your turbo, the world around your flying centipede literally becomes a blur. The developers have done a great job of using this technique to give you a real feeling of incredible speed without blasting your robo-spider forward so fast it's uncontrollable. In fact, the game is very forgiving when you make mistakes. This is great for kids who are easily frustrated. Jump wrong off a cliff and heading towards a forest? Your bot can easily be steered back on course mid-air. Even when things go terribly wrong and your hummingbird of terror smashing into a million pieces, the game goes into slow mo and if you shake your wheel you are reassembled, put back on the track, and you get an extra speed boost to help you catch up.
At the core, all these tricks earn you stars. The more stars, the more tournaments you unlock. In addition, you can use stars to purchase new bots. Each bots is good at certain things, so it's not just a change in looks when switching between a beetle and a bat. You can also buy new colors for your bots, which I didn't find much value in. Do well enough and you'll unlock a special outfit for your bot. I did find it amusing to race around in a mechanized insect wearing a top hat, but I'm not sure it worth more than a chuckle.
In order to add to the replay value, they've included several mini-games as well as the option to race online against players around the world. Unlike MarioKart where you get new challenges delivered all the time, the tracks and challenges will get repetitive after playing over and over.
All in all, the kids found it was high on fun and relatively low on frustration. Their interest did wane after a while, but they still get a kick over that lady bug.
Suggested Retail Price: $49.99 (with Wii Wheel) & $36.99 (without Wii Wheel)

Philip Seymour Hoffman didn't want his children to turn into lazy rich kids. The 46-year-old actor who died earlier this year of a drug overdose seems to have wanted his children to develop a real work ethic.
Hoffman's accountant reportedly urged the Oscar-winning actor to leave a portion of his $35 million estate to his son and two daughters, but court documents reveal that Hoffman rejected this advice. He didn't want his children — Cooper, 10, Tallulah, 7, and Willa, 5 — to grow up to become "trust fund kids."
Instead, Hoffman left his fortune to the kids' mother and his longtime girlfriend, Mimi O'Donnell. The Oscar winner felt O'Donnell would take proper care of the children.
According to the New York Post:
Attorney James Cahill Jr. — appointed by a court to protect the interests of Hoffman's children…in his estate proceeding — recently interviewed the actor's accountant, David Friedman.
Friedman "recalled conversations with [Hoffman] in the year before his demise where the topic of a trust was raised for the kids and summarily rejected by him," Cahill says in the Manhattan Surrogate's Court filing.
Hoffman isn't the only wealthy individual to worry about his children becoming spoiled by an inherited fortune. Bill and Melinda Gates are worth an estimated $76 billion (makes Hoffman look poor) and the power couple is supposedly planning to give each of their three children $10 million. In an interview at the March 2014 Ted Conference, Gates said, "They need to have a sense that their own work is meaningful and important," Bill said. "You've got to make sure they have a sense of their own ability and what they're going to go and do."
The Gates created the Giving Pledge inviting America's wealthy elite to give half of their money to charity. Everyone from Paul Allen to Richard Branson has signed on. Warren Buffet has famously pledged to give away 99 percent of his wealth and gift little to his children. In a letter to the Gates Foundation, he wrote, "I want to give my kids just enough so that they would feel that they could do anything, but not so much that they would feel like doing nothing."
Actor Jacki Chan has told the media that he plans to give his entire fortune to charity and will not be leaving anything for his son Jaycee. "If he is capable, he can make his own money. If he is not, then he will just be wasting my money," Chan told Channel NewsAsia in 2011. George Lucas, Nigella Lawson, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Gene Simmons have made similar statements.
I think these tycoons are probably onto something. Wealth rarely makes it to the third or fourth generation — and this isn't a result of estate taxes. Often the children of the wealthy become spoiled and soft as a result of their charmed lives, according to The New York Times. Never seeing the need to get a real job, they fail to develop the type of work ethic needed to keep the family business going or to find a career of their own. The wealth is only spent, never growing, and eventually it all disappears.

Sojourners/Call to Renewal recently hosted a nationally televised candidates forum with the three leading Democratic presidential contenders. In order to host a forum that provided enough time for a thoughtful and substantive discussion of faith and values, we invited the declared Democratic candidates occupying the top polling positions. We entered into this territory very carefully—frequently consulting an attorney to guide us.
With the election season already on fast-forward, the Internal Revenue Service has again issued its guidance for section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations, including churches. The bottom line is still that these organizations "are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office."
However, there are many ways that churches can and should become involved in the democratic process with nonpartisan activities. If your church or organization is planning electoral-related activities, it is always good to check with an attorney before proceeding. You can lose your tax-exempt status if you're not careful, appropriate, and discerning.
The IRS has several "thou shalt nots" when it comes to political involvement. Churches and other (c)(3) organizations are prohibited from making any direct or indirect contributions to candidates. You can't contribute money, but you also can't give free use of your mailing list, free advertising in a newsletter, the use of your building or facilities for campaign work, or the printing of campaign literature. You can't publicly endorse a candidate using organizational resources—from the pulpit, in a newsletter, in a press release, or at a church picnic.

|Eggplant Meatball Sub
|Simmering down the eggplants
Fast forward through making breadcrumbs, simmering down chunks of eggplants, mixing it all and shaping it into balls, baking and placing on a sub roll with soft mozzarella cheese just oozing out the sides and I was left with pure eggplant magic. It was messy magic (keep lots of napkins with you!) but straight up deliciousness and a great way to look at something completely differently. Give 'em a shot. You'll like 'em.
|Eggplant Meatballs before the oven
|Eggplant Meatballs after the oven: golden brown and ready to be sauced
Eggplant "Meatballs"
- Makes about 10 medium-sized meatballs
- 1 eggplant, peeled and chopped into cubes
- 1 baguette, cut in half
- 5-6 button mushrooms, finely chopped
- A small pat of butter for frying the mushrooms
- A couple handfuls of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- A handful of fresh basil, shredded
- Salt and pepper
- Fennel seeds (optional)
- Flax seeds (optional)
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 400. Start by turning the bread into fine breadcrumbs by using a food processor or a blender. Make sure that the breadcrumbs are as fine as they can be. Place them in a pan and lightly toast them, just until they have a little crunch to them. Set them aside.
Meanwhile, brown the mushrooms in a little butter and set aside, Next, place the eggplant cubes into a pot and add some salt. Cover and simmer the eggplant until it become very tender and mushy. Run the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or use paper towels to remove any excess water. Add the eggplant mixture to a bowl and toss in breadcrumbs, mushrooms, basil, fennel and flax seeds. Mix thoroughly. Add some salt and pepper to taste, then add the egg and combine. Shape the eggplant mixture into little balls with your hands. Place on a greased pan and bake until they start to brown. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge in an air-tight container for a few days or freeze.
