Summer only officially ended on Friday, but we're already knee deep in Bills football, pumpkin beer - and advertisements from ski shops and resorts.
As the area's skiers and snowboarders get ready for the upcoming season they should keep in mind that ski swaps present good opportunities to buy clothing and equipment at lower prices.
"A lot of times, you can find good deals at a ski swap," said Nick Sciara, a certified boot fitter and salesman at Mud Sweat Gears ski shop in Ellicottville. "There's definitely good stuff to be found. It's not low quality."
Four major ski swaps are coming up in October and November, at three of the region's ski resorts and at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg, with some of the proceeds going toward ski patrols and other worthy organizations. Another big ski and snowboard sale, though not technically a ski swap, will be held in mid-October in Niagara Falls.
Ski and snowboard shops from across the area set up at the swaps, selling used and demonstration equipment and last year's inventory - all at a discount - to make room for this season's stock.
The swaps also draw in skiers and snowboarders who are updating their gear and selling their old equipment on consignment.
Organizers and store employees say the swaps are aimed at beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders, particularly those with children who have grown out of their old equipment.
"You will not find the high-priced items at this swap," said Diane Smith, who runs the annual Kissing Bridge ski swap with Al Hohl, though she added that the prices on listed items are "all over the board."
Ski swaps have been around for decades. Smith, the Kissing Bridge Ski Patrol director, has worked that resort's swap since 1973.
The swaps typically are held in the fall, often tied into a fall festival or other local event.
Four of the biggest locally are held next month and in November at Kissing Bridge, Holiday Valley, Peek'n Peak Resort & Spa and at the Hamburg Fairgrounds.
Mud Sweat Gears owner Miguel Azcarate said the shop will be selling at all four of the swaps, while Snow Ski & Board in Amherst will have a presence at the Kissing Bridge event.
The swaps give the ski and snowboard shops a chance to sell off leased, demo or leftover but unused equipment at discounted prices, while skiers and snowboarders can upgrade by selling their old gear and shopping for replacement gear.
"It's a brand-new ski, but it's last year's graphics," said Sciara. "We also use them to blow out demo skis, old rentals."
Swap attendees aren't getting the newest styles or models, but they'll probably get a better price, he said.
A pair of skis that was used as a demo model by a ski shop might sell at a swap for 30 percent to 50 percent off its original price, Sciara said.
The swaps generally aren't aimed at expert skiers or snowboarders who have to have the newest equipment and clothing, but they instead appeal to people who ski less frequently and buy gear only if they can get a bargain.
They're a boon to families, especially, because young skiers and snowboarders can grow out of their boots and other equipment from one season to the next, said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley's marketing director.
"It's a great way to get into the sport," she said. "Generally, you're able to get the best rates if you go to a ski swap."
How do the swaps work? At Kissing Bridge's swap, people are assigned a ticket for each item or piece of equipment they want to sell, with some stores taking 1,000 tickets, Smith said.
There are set times when sellers can drop off their equipment, and everything of the same type - all the skis, all the snowboards - is placed in one area to make for easier searching, she said.
The stores usually assign employees to the swaps to help customers find the right equipment, in the proper size - a feature of the swap that can't be replicated online.
"There's always volunteers and salespeople there," Sciara said.
Experts, however, don't recommend buying a used helmet at a swap or anywhere else.
Ski and snowboard helmets are designed to absorb one major impact, and it may not be apparent whether a used helmet has absorbed such a blow, said Randy Bergin, a floor manager at Snow Ski & Board.
"It's definitely worth it for your own safety," he said of the extra cost of a new helmet.
Shoppers should be aware that all sales at swaps are final. The sellers set the prices for their equipment and the host venue or sponsoring organization collects a commission based on the price of each item that sells.
Anything that doesn't sell is returned to the owner and leftovers are held for next year or donated, depending on the venue's policies.
Peek'n Peak charges $3 per item to put it up for sale and a 20 percent commission on any item that sells, with the proceeds of the commission going to the resort's Junior Ski Race Team.
At the Fairgrounds ski swap, the money goes to the Niagara Frontier Ski Council.
And the proceeds from the Holiday Valley ski swap go to the resort's Race Team, Freestyle Team and Snowboard Team, Eshbaugh said. "It's basically a fundraiser for them," she said.
The swaps are less of a swap among skiers than they were in the past because the stores now have a major presence.
At Kissing Bridge, for example, about 75 percent of equipment and clothing purchased is from the stores, with the rest sold by skiers and snowboarders, Smith said. "Every ski shop in Western New York participates in this swap," she said.
"Swaps - it's sort of like 'Auction Hunters.' Sometimes you find a gem," said Bergin of Snow Ski & Board.

New Year's Eve is around the corner! Today I've put together my dream New Years' Eve tablescape by using some of my favorite vintage heirlooms and some new sparkly accents from Oriental Trading.
I've updated my 2012 NYE "clock-themed" tablescape that some of you may remember. All you have to do to recreate this look is have a set of clear glass dinner plates which are really inexpensive and also so versatile! Then print off a set of clock faces so they fit the size of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
No fancy paper needed! The clock faces will be round, so just cut them out carefully with scissors. Nestle them between your glass plate and a silver or gold charger plate.
I used "Happy New Year" tiaras, with the headband removed, to accent each place setting with a fun salutation!
Under each place setting is a round circle of glittered gold mesh fabric that I cut out, as well. The light hits all these sparkly accents and makes the table come to life!
Winter evergreens layered diagonally down the center of this round table add the perfect foundation for the white roses and gittery gold votives that add a hint of glamour. A garland of dreamy silver stars sways quietly in the background.
These antique silver goblets hold little arrangements of roses, but they also come in handy for a favorite beverage.
Champagne (or sparkling grape juice) is mandatory!
Here's the view from the top…
I can't believe 2017 is almost here!
I love how this layer of glitter fabric detail adds dimension.
A toast…
to all of you!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting this year!
Cheers and Best Wishes...
for the new year! xoxo

This one made me seriously laugh because it is so true! Shopping with my husband is like a form of torture for both parties involved. Also, my husband is a hunter, so this really is a perfect saying for us since we both can relate to it.

I don't know about you, but I got a good laugh out of these. I do know that my family is always making fun of me for the things that I find funny. They just don't have the same sense of humor I guess. Hopefully you fully appreciate my humor though. Right? Anyone?
Also, if you happen upon something that you find humorous, would you pass it along? I am always in search of a good belly laugh. Thanks!

February 13, 2012 in Lifestyle (E)
[prMac.com] Revere, Massachusetts - Independent developer James Hollender's Life Inventory app has achieved a rating of 5 Stars. Using an iPhone or iPod touch, users can learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible, and only at a small fraction the cost of a single office visit to a therapist. Life Inventory is the new name for the Step 4 Moral Inventory Jr app. Originally designed for 12-steppers it was discovered the inventory would also be of benefit to anyone, which is why the name change.
Here's what some users are saying about Life Inventory:
1. This app is amazing! - "This app is a must have for anyone looking to do a thorough moral inventory of yourself that helps summarize your thoughts, events, emotions, and actions of your life. With writing, honesty, support and prayer, this app will help you locate and find what triggers your behaviors. With well written instructions and easy to follow step by step sections, this app truly is an eye opener to my life and is definitely worth the download. The amount I saved on this app verses a therapy session makes it even more worth it. I have only scratched the surface, but can already tell this app is going to help me a ton."
2. Great App, Great Price! - "I have to admit - I was a little skeptical when deciding to buy this app. It is not often that I spend $9.99 on an iPhone app, but I can honestly say it is worth every cent. After talking to people I know who have gone to therapy and counseling classes I've come to find out that this app is highly comparable in the questions that are being asked and also provides a huge cost savings. This app is a great alternative to those individuals who may not be able to afford therapy classes. Life Inventory is truly an awesome app and does what it says it can do. I highly recommend this app to anyone who has a lot going on in their life and needs to take time to Stop, Review, and Analyze why they are feeling the way they are and why they do the things they do. Great app all around!"
3. Highly Recommended - "Life can get us to points where we do not know where to turn or how to fix our situations, ultimately needing guidance or help. If you are someone who is looking to improve your life and want to diagnose some potential problem areas that need work, if so, then I would recommend you try this app. It asks you specific questions and offers you valuable insight and answers based on the information you enter. The $9.99 is just an investment into your future which I promise you will be one of the best investments you have made in a while! It certainly worked for me and gave me a new outlook and caused me to re-prioritize some key areas in my life. Try it out!"
Note: The terms "Life Inventory" and "Moral Inventory" are interchangeable.
Life Inventories Can Help Anyone:
Although originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined possible ... and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. Examine your reactions to:
* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement
* Fears
* Sex Relations
The Life Inventory app was created because of the complexity and length of time needed to complete a proper Moral Inventory. When persons working their way through a 12-step program start creating their own moral inventory and discover that some ways of doing a Moral Inventory might require a thousand spreadsheets, the task seems daunting and many never get around to finishing it, thus depriving themselves of the rewards a completed Moral Inventory can provide. This app is an attempt at finding a way to make the task less time consuming, while at the same time helping the user create a valuable asset in their recovery process.
Storage of the Life Inventory data is done using an underlying database which can be backed up and restored as necessary.
Disclaimer - This app is neither officially produced nor approved by Alcoholics Anonymous or any other Addiction Recovery program. From what is known there have been many Moral Inventory spreadsheets circulating unofficially among AA members for at least 50 years in various versions and this app is based on one the developer found to be useful and more comprehensive than most.
Many thanks to "George" and his "Dungeon Prison Complete" spreadsheet which has been used as the outline for this app. This spreadsheet was developed based on years of his own personal research of the AA Big Book, along with help from many others who had already gone through the process of completing their own Moral Inventories. This was done in order to more fully understand the concepts necessary for completing his own Moral Inventory. George's extensive research resulted in the creation of the "Dungeon Prison Complete" spreadsheet, a detailed set of instructions on how to create a Moral Inventory, including several new concepts not directly covered in the AA Big Book: Sources of Anxiety/Excitement as a 4th Category; and a set of Sex Relations exercises. Both of these new elements were discovered to be critical in eventually understanding why we do what we do, the end result of completing your own Moral Inventory.
Anyone, Not Just 12-Steppers, Can Benefit from Completing a Life Inventory:
The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address addictions specifically, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before like:
* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself? (always present)
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?
Sometimes the questions are difficult to answer, but once done, they help provide significant insight into why certain choices were made and, more importantly, determining there are often alternative choices available which will make life so much better in the future.

(Portland, Ore.) December 1, 2010 — Young women veterans are nearly three times as likely as civilians to commit suicide according to new research published by researchers at Portland State University (PSU) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
The paper "Self-Inflicted Deaths Among Women With U.S. Military Service: A Hidden Epidemic?" appears in the December 2010 journal Psychiatric Services, published by the American Psychiatric Association. This work is the first general population study of current suicide risk among women with U.S. military service.
According to the data, female veterans between the ages of 18 and 34 are at highest risk.
"Women veterans are more likely to complete suicide than non-veteran women," said Bentson McFarland, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry in the OHSU School of Medicine. McFarland co-authored the paper with Mark Kaplan, Dr.P.H., and Nathalie Huguet, Ph.D., of Portland State University.
"The rate was lower in the next oldest age group we studied (35 to 44 years of age) and the rate was lower still among those ages 45 to 64. However, even within this age group, the rate was higher than civilian women's suicide rates."
The study examined data on 5,948 female suicides committed between the years 2004 and 2007. In the 18 to 34 age group alone, there were:
• 56 suicides among 418,132 female veterans (1 in 7,465);
• 1,461 suicides among 33,257,362 nonveterans (1 in 22,763).
"This study shows that young women veterans have nearly triple the suicide rate of young women who never served in the military," said Mark Kaplan, co-author of the study and professor of Community Health at PSU. "The elevated rates of suicide among women veterans should be a call-to-action, especially for clinicians and caregivers to be aware of warning signs and helpful prevention resources such as the Veterans Suicide Prevention Hotline [1-800-273-TALK (8255) press "1"].
The research, funded by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, was conducted by tracking suicide data in the 16 states that constitute the National Violent Death Reporting System, a program within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

On Friday's program, radio host Rush Limbaugh put the Obamacare rollout fiasco into historical perspective, declaring that in many ways, the current scandal is worse than Watergate.
"Folks," Limbaugh told his audience, "Richard Nixon resigned over a lie that was much less damaging in scope than this one."
"The bottom line," he said, "is that Obama, the regime, knew that 93 million Americans would be unable to keep their health care plans under Obamacare. … I mean, this is an abject, purposeful lie to the American people for the express purpose of passing legislation."
The other aim of Obamacare, Limbaugh insisted, was to undermine the private insurance business itself.
He pointed to an "obscure report buried in a June 2010 edition of the Federal Register," in which White House officials matter-of-factly predicted that Obamacare would create "massive disruption of the private insurance market because that's what was intended."
Limbaugh replayed an audio montage of Obama's repeated promises that Americans who were satisfied with their existing health insurance could keep their plans following the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Limbaugh called these promises "a total fraud."
The Affordable Care Act, Limbaugh continued, "is a purposeful, deceitful, fraudulent law."
"I think Obama's lie about keeping your insurance may be the biggest lie ever told by a sitting president. This is not an error. It was not a mistake. This was a calculated, purposeful lie."
Limbaugh added the mainstream media to his list of offenders. He called their biased pro-Obamacare coverage "media malpractice" and "one of the worst examples of modern day journalism in my lifetime."
For all intents and purposes, Rush said, the media is "just the PR firm of the Democratic Party."
Along with Nixon, Limbaugh compared Obama to his Democratic predecessor Lyndon Baines Johnson.
With the revelations of outright deception that reach as high as the White House itself, Limbaugh remarked, "You're getting close to LBJ territory."
"They were lying through their teeth about Vietnam and other things."
Limbaugh agreed with a caller who said facetiously that Obama is no longer the president as such, but the "official spokesman for Obamacare," rather like a paid pitchman.
The Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon's resignation is widely considered one of the most traumatic national events in 20th century American history. It greatly increased the public's cynicism regarding the political system. Press revelations of Nixon's "dirty tricks," such a botched break in at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Washington, D.C., Watergate building, were compounded by Nixon's repeated insistence that he had done nothing wrong. Rather than face impeachment, a disgraced Nixon resigned as president Aug. 9, 1974.

NEW YORK – It's apocalypse season again, those fun few summer months when instead of wearing white the Hollywood movies are clad in artfully tattered rags. This June alone, in addition to Will and Jaden Smith's "After Earth," we have Brad Pitt leading us through the CGI carnage of "World War Z" and the maestro of world-ending mayhem himself, Roland Emmerich – director of "Independence Day," "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" – burning the "White House Down."
Wedged between these more traditional entries is "This Is The End," Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's terrifically silly genre-buster, in which a party at James Franco's Los Angeles mansion goes nuclear – or satanic, or maybe alien: One of the running jokes questions which flavor of apocalypse has interrupted the fun. The movie sends up any number of the end-of-the-world staples audiences can now measure in buttered handfuls.
Rogen and Goldberg say their film, the directorial debut for both, is really about friendship. The same is more obviously true of their first feature collaboration, "Superbad," which they wrote as kids growing up in Vancouver. But whereas "Superbad" X-rayed an adolescent male friendship, "This Is The End" – despite featuring a cast so pungently male that the lone woman (Emma Watson) to stumble into the story soon axes her disgusted way out – offers a less gendered slant on its theme. The niche it explores instead is even more exclusive: What happens when a Canadian friendship is hitched to a third wheel the size and shape of the United States.
Canada's axis of talent and opportunity has long run north/south. Brain and comedian drain are known blights; every four years Canadians weep to see those hometown hockey players sold off to American franchises don the maple leaf for the Olympics. Developing a cultural identity is tricky when a country is pressed against the world's greatest superpower. In the past this has contributed to what Lorne Michaels, a highly successful Canadian, has called "a kind of national self-loathing." In an interview with Alec Baldwin last year, Michaels recalled approaching his boss, the then-head of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., about a job offer that would take him to the States. "If you're that good, why are you here?" his boss replied.
Rogen and Goldberg were raised, then, as all Canadians are, amid these delicate resentments, and their new film folds them into an allegory of the end of a friendship as the end of the world. As with all of the characters in "This Is The End," Rogen stars as himself – that is to say, a Hollywood baller with the connections and the view to prove it. His co-star is Jay Baruchel, another Jud Apatow alumnus and a fellow Canadian. (Baruchel was the lead on "Undeclared," the follow-up to "Freaks and Geeks" that was also quite good but will probably never get the oral history treatment.) In real life, after a stint in Los Angeles, Baruchel decided to return to Canada and pursue his career from there – though not before a bout of homesickness resulted in a red maple leaf tattoo over his heart. Since then Baruchel has vowed never to leave his native Montreal, and he exhibits the kind of patriotism that can make those Canadians camped out across the border feel a little queasy.
"Everyone had always left," Michaels said in that same interview with Baldwin, describing his youthful hope of joining "the first generation of artists who would be able to stay in Canada. "And the moment that you left, in Canada people started to treat you differently." Like Rogen, Michaels had a writing partner; in the late '60s he and Hart Pomerantz tried their luck in L.A., writing for Phyllis Diller and "Laugh In." The pair headed back to Canada for a CBC show, but their stay was brief. When Michaels decided to take that better offer in Los Angeles, Pomerantz settled in Toronto and became a lawyer.
Growing up in a Vancouver infested with film and television shoots demystified the industry for Rogen and Goldberg, but some naiveté remained: They wrote "Superbad" not realizing, as Rogen said on Marc Maron's WTF podcast this week, that "you can't write a movie that takes place in Canada and have it be released in America in a major way." Their very personal story would have to be deracinated, all its references to home extracted, made American and put back in.
"We always thought we'd make it," said Goldberg during the same interview. "We just never thought we'd make it how we made it." Canadians tend to be uncomfortable with bald ambition, bulging out in the open like that. But Goldberg and Rogen had each other, and they had a plan. Baruchel also dreamed of filmmaking (as opposed to acting) from a very young age, but he felt more ambivalent about the expatriate path. (Aware of his friend's ambitions, Goldberg asked Baruchel to co-write the hilarious – and deeply Canadian – hockey flick "Goon," released in 2011.) With "This Is The End," Rogen and Goldberg finally wrested the kind of control they ditched Canada (joking, joking) to command. For a Canadian viewer, especially, it's gratifying to see them restore to their more universally pleasing repertoire of penis jokes a few elements of home.
The film opens with Jay arriving in Los Angeles for some alone time with his famous friend Seth. Rather than a rose-petal heart arranged on the bed, on the coffee table at his condo Seth has spelled out his buddy's name with joints. (This is true love.) But there is tension between them, as becomes evident when Seth suggests attending Franco's housewarming blowout. Jay is uncomfortable with Hollywood flash, and with Seth's apparent comfort with it; he spends the party sulking in the face of American exuberance and excess. (Another alternative, posed by Canadian No. 3 Michael Cera in a neon color-blocked windbreaker, is delirious, coked-out corruption.) Baruchel has said that the story draws on his time as Rogen's roommate in L.A., and the movie makes it easy to imagine them as the two types of Canadians likely familiar to Americans: the mole on the make, identifiable only by his extreme self-deprecation; and the peacock, always fanning his superiority and Montreal Canadiennes plumage.
Once the apocalypse hits, Seth's assimilation gains a mortal importance. Franco favors him, slipping him crackers from a secret food stash and vowing to sacrifice himself for his friend, both in real life and in their sequel to "Pineapple Express."
Maybe I was particularly vulnerable. On my way to the screening of "This Is The End," at the start of my 10th summer in New York City, I pulled a brand new green card out of the mailbox. I clutched it from Brooklyn to midtown and kept it my lap until the credits rolled. Listening to Goldberg and Rogen on WTF this week, I felt a new kinship; they don't issue cards here, but limbo is its own country.
"Do you miss Canada?" Maron asked them. "Yeah," they both said softly, without hesitation.

"Compromise requires all of us to agree to items that we don't agree with," Governor Mark Dayton, May 16, 2011.
The Minnesota government has officially been shut down after budget negotiations failed to produce a state budget. There will be no trips to Fort Snelling to celebrate Independence Day, the Minnesota Zoo will not be open to visitors, 23,000 state workers don't know when or if they will return to work, and services have been stopped for many of Minnesota's most vulnerable. Why? Because Republican state legislators, who control both chambers for the first time in 38 years, cannot seem to understand what the type of compromise that benefits the people they are charged to represent: Minnesotans.
On May 16, 7 days before the Minnesota legislature was constitutionally required to adjourn for the year, Governor Mark Dayton (D-MN) sent a compromise budget to both chambers of the state legislature. This budget, a sharp change from his first proposed budget – which called for $3.356 billion in new taxes as a partial way of dealing with the $3.6 billion ($5 billion, but both parties have agreed to delay payments to former governors and the state's public education systems) projected deficit – called for a recipe that was equal parts tax increases on the wealthiest Minnesotans (Dayton included) and spending cuts. $1.8 billion would come from increased tax revenue on less than 2% of the state's population; $1.8 billion would come from mutually agreed upon spending cuts. That budget deal sounded like everyone came out a winner, right? Not to Republicans. Republicans said they would not support anything that has tax increases, even on millionaires and billionaires. The budget compromise failed, which brings us to budget negotiations in recent weeks.
As the negotiations lingered, stalled, resumed, lingered again, and finally resumed, Republicans suggested the governor call a special ten-day "lights-on" session to not only allow the dialogue between legislative leaders and the governor to continue, but to, in effect, keep the state government running. To his credit, he said no. His reason: he has been calling for a full budget approach since day one. It makes sense. In college, could you ask for an extension on a group project because you had different opinions? No. You had to work together on your differences, find middle-ground, work from there and turn the project in on time.
This nonsense about not raising taxes on the wealthy and taxes being the end-all to the negotiations is astounding. Governor Dayton's final budget would have raised income taxes on only .3% of the population of the state of Minnesota: 7,700 people making more than $1 million per year. Again, Republicans said they did not have the support in either chamber to pass a budget that has tax increases for anyone, even the millionaires and billionaires.
It has been reported that Republicans also would not continue with the negotiations unless policy issues like abortion, Voter ID and changes to collective bargaining agreements were on the table to be included in their respective budgets. These policy items were in exchange for "new revenue in a compromise offer." Adding policy items to the table of budget negotiations sounds less like compromise and more like hostage taking – if you don't consider these in addition to not raising taxes, the government shuts down.
The reaction the governor had to their "demands" is reminiscent of the reaction President Bartlett has on an episode of "The West Wing" called "Shutdown." The Speaker of the House, a Republican, changes the deal on budget negotiations he made with the president at the last minute. The president refuses to agree to the changes, saying "we had a deal." The speaker says the president, in refusing, is talking about shutting down the federal government. President Bartlett replies "then shut it down." It takes courage for a governor to react the way Dayton did. He is willing to compromise, he has produced compromises but the Republicans will not budge.
While it is a little presumptuous to assume the Minnesota state government shutdown is comparable to what is happening at the federal level, there are a couple comparisons. First, Governor Dayton had a 1-1 plan to deal with the deficit. Equal parts tax increases on the wealthiest Minnesotans to equal parts spending cuts. At the federal level, $1 for every cut = $1 in tax increase for the wealthy to lower the federal budget deficit is being suggested by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Second, Republicans at both the state and federal level will not compromise, or even include in negotiations, on increasing taxes those wealthiest individuals.
I am from Minnesota. My parents own the house I grew up in. I know how proud they are of their governor and their state senator and state representative (both members of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party) for standing up for them and their neighbors. I thank Governor Dayton and those elected officials who understand tax cuts aren't the only way to solve the deficit problem. I hope that both sides can come together and truly compromise the way Minnesotans need them to; increasing taxes on millionaires and billionaires in addition to spending cuts, not just the spending cuts. And I hope that happens soon, for everyone's sake.

Call it brio, joie de vivre, zest, élan vital, perhaps Lebenslust. You might even call it "fun." But no matter what you call it, that's not the mood Renée Fleming was in when she dropped in for lunch with Muse at Bloomberg.
"Lyric Opera of Chicago announced today that the respected stage, film and television actor Patrick Stewart will co-host The Second City Guide to the Opera on Saturday, January 5 with internationally renowned soprano and Lyric Opera creative consultant Renée Fleming…. Fleming will perform with live musical accompaniment, and both she and Stewart [pictured] will share emcee duties and appear in satirical vignettes." [Broadway World]

Captain Pirate is an odd little game for your Windows Phone. Odd not so much in a bad way but remember the old board game Operation? Where you had to have a steady hand to extract game pieces (body parts of sorts) from a cartoon character? Touch the edge of the game board as you extract the game piece and you lose.
Captain Pirate reminds me of that game.... well, in a way.
With Captain Pirate, the goal is to maneuver a pirate's hook to buried treasure, avoiding dangers and collecting gold coins along the way. Touch/bump into any of the dangers and you lose a life. Lose three lives and the game's over. Captain Pirate is a decent game for your Windows Phone but probably more appealing to the younger (much younger) crowd.
Game play with Captain Pirate is simple, just tap and hold on the hook and drag it to the treasure chest. The multi-level game gets more challenging as you progress through the levels and it will test your timing as well as your ability to steadily drag the hook around the screen.
Captain Pirate does have bonus items you can purchase with the gold you collect such as bombs to eliminate dangers, an ice cube to freeze the dangers or a skip level token.
The game also supports a two player mode that you play at the same time. This can get kinda cramped, even on the larger screened Windows Phone.
Graphics are decent with Captain Pirate and game play is oddly addictive. It's so simple, when you do hit a jelly fish or crab, you feel compelled to try again just to prove to yourself you can get to the treasure. Some may see Captain Pirate not much more than a children's game (especially when you hear the soundtrack). And that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that Captain Pirate may not appeal to everyone.
There is a free trial version available for Captain Pirate that lets you play enough of the game to get a feel for things. The full version is running $1.99 and you can find Captain Pirate here at the Windows Phone Store.

Man Gets Calls and Sues
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Telemarketers are people who call homes trying to sell things or services. It is their job to call people. If people do not like to be called by telemarketers they can sign up to be on a "do not call" list. This list tells telemarketers not to call phone numbers that are on the list.
Telemarketers are not supposed to call people who are on the "do not call" list. If they do call these people they can get in trouble. They can be fined $500 for each call that they make after they have been told to stop calling.
One man is fed up with calls from telemarketers. He signed up to be on the "do not call" list but still got a lot of calls. He kept a list of telemarketers who continued to call his home. He took some of them to court. He sued them. So far this man has collected over $13,000 from telemarketers who would not take no for an answer.
This man said that if others are interested in suing telemarketers they will need to keep good records. He offers detailed instructions on a Web site that he created. Many people have visited his Web site.
This man believes that Americans are tired of telemarketers who break the law.

Dior Taps Julia Nobis for Fall 2016 Ad CampaignCategories:Other Brands
Trapped amid the non-so-speculative rumors stating that Maria Grazia Chiuri will soon be appointed as Dior's first-ever female creative director, the French Maison has just tapped Australian model Julia Nobis as the face of its fall 2016 ad campaign. To hit it big even more, Dior's creative headquarters asked iconic fashion photographer Steven Meisel to capture the campaign's pictures, as well as the model's true essence.
Designed by Dior's in-house studio directors Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux (who will also design Dior's fall couture show, which is scheduled to be showcased on July 4), and was overall well acclaimed. It did not go too heavy on the patterns (apart from animal and floral prints, this collection could be regarded as low profile indeed), but celebrated elegance, ready-to-wear and modernity as the core of its aesthetics.
It went big, however, on the accessory line, with bags and shoes destined to enter the Fashion Hall of Fame with a blaze, as most of the staples are about to become the main It-items of the upcoming season.
Such modernity, along with the accessories, was at the core of the Dior fall 2016 campaign too, wherein frozen dynamicity figuratively represents the label's transitional period. Julia Nobis is seen theatrically trapped between dynamic and softer poses, representing all the things a woman usually does throughout the day.
Her athleticism showcases the richness of the collection, exposing side slits, airy flounces, minuscule and intricate embroideries, and elegant details, such as buckles on the handbags.
"Her personality is spontaneously expressed in an unfiltered mix of garments, motifs, and embroideries," explained Dior in a statement.
Eclectic and spontaneous, Nobis dons remarkable staples, such as a fitted black dress with loads of frills and an elegant high neck figure, an oversized trench coat with cheetah patterns, an asymmetrical short coat dipped into a soft, delicate creamy white color, and some of the collection's sultriest skirts, the prints of which match the line-up's incredible array of clutches, handbags and edgy backpacks.
Wearing high heels and au naturel makeup that is light on the eyes and heavy on the lips, confirming once again that Dior will always rise from the ashes like the most fashionable phoenix ever.
As for Nobis, her enigmatic and classy personality can be seen in numerous AW 2016-17 campaigns, such as for Givenchy and Marc Jacobs too.

GIVENCHY FALL 2016 SEASONAL BAG COLLECTION FEATURING NEW GIVENCHY PARIS SHOULDER BAGCategories:Other Brands
It's as if two or more bags isn't enough, Givenchy's Fall 2016 Seasonal Bag Collection will then catch your attention before you even manage to say No. Let's talk about these two particular bags that has caught our attention.
First off is this lovely Small Cross Body Bag with 'Givenchy Paris' debossed on its fine and smooth black leather. We like the simplicity and exquisiteness of this shoulder bag. Its plain design isn't washed out entirely because the debossed logo made it a complete standout. That's what we want in a bag: simple yet has a signature statement.
Another one that is on our list is this Chain Wallet in Smooth Leather with Metal Crosses. Yes, definitely a style stunner, this chain wallet is perfect for those sweet yet swift errands that you have to attend to during the weekends since you need not be stashing a lot of things inside your wallet on chain bag. And oh, this also goes pretty great for that certified punk look especially when you go to metal/rock concerts with your equally cool girlfriends.

GIVENCHY FALL 2016 CLASSIC BAG COLLECTION FEATURING METAL CROSSES NIGHTINGALE BAGCategories:Other Brands
Well if you haven't heard it yet, Givenchy's Fall 2016 Classic Bag Collection is the talk of the buzz in the fashion industry. Yes, this is one thing to look out for, especially to bag lovers out there.
Let's talk about the Nightingale Bag. This one has been a favorite style staple ever since it's release in late 2006. Yes, it's almost a decade old but due to its flare and modernity, it managed to live through its name.
A classic and timeless Givenchy piece, this bag was named after Florence Nightingale. Its versatility due to the two handles and a detachable shoulder strap makes it easier for you to use it either over your shoulder or just wrap it around your hands.
For the Fall 2016 Classic Bag Collection, the Nightingale Bag is seen to be bolder and up-to-date with the added metal crosses adorning it. We are loving this style since you can go from glamour chic to hard punk rakista in less than a second by pairing it with the right clothes and right amount of accessories.
Another bag stunner is the classic Lucrezia Bag. It was introduced to the public three years back, last Spring 2013 to be exact. The Lucrezia dominated the hands of several celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Miranda Kerr and Amanda Seyfried to name a few. Its well-structured style has appealed not only to Hollywood superstars but also to other bag lovers out there.
For the Fall 2016 Collection, we are seeing the Lucrezia bag reinvented. It has this happy-go-lucky vibe with the Givenchy Logo stamped leather. It makes us remember those childhood moments of ours in a good way.

The Fall It-Bag That Goes With Absolutely EverythingCategories:Other Brands
You may remember Chloé's first iconic bag — the Paddington — that ruled the red carpet during its heyday in the early 2000's. Well, the iconic French brand is back with a new lust-worthy design that touches on this season's '70s influence while still feeling sophisticated and contemporary. As Fall creeps closer, the purse's popularity has skyrocketed, popping up on both bohemian and preppy style stars alike — and that's exactly what gives The Drew it-bag potential. It looks as cool paired with cutoffs as it does with a dress — and we've got the pictures to prove it. Scroll through for a look at the bag that's destined to be this year's must have, then snap it up for yourself!

CELINE FALL BAG COLLECTIONCategories:Other Brands
Celine Trapeze Handbag in Pink Multicolour Pony Calfskin
I know exactly what you've on your mind, even I have to scratch my head three times and still, I do not understand. But it's the way it is, the Celine Fall 2016 Bag Collection is published on the web, far too early from its actual release date and in the middle of our summer shopping spree-mode (This collection is certainly a game breaker).
My eyes dropped on the Celine Trapeze Bag in Pink Multi-colour (pssst… have you checked the Mini Trapeze yet?) and if you too, then I pray that you haven't made any bag purchases recently or it's like taking your first bite on your just-ordered banana cake, right at the same moment that the chef is presenting you his most delicious strawberry cake with chocolate cream.
And while we like and love the entire collection, we can't lie that the first two bags we want to see are Celine 'Luggage' and 'Trapeze'. The Classic Box is not bad either, in lovely pink, why didn't they introduce that for the summer, the color is the perfect fit for this season.
The Celine Fall 2016 Collection prices are not announced yet, because it has yet to be released. But as soon as we know more, we will publish the prices at this post, like our Facebook page to be informed.

R&B beauty Rihanna has slammed a U.K. tabloid report suggesting she used a body double in a sexy new advertisement for Armani underwear.
The Umbrella hitmaker recently stripped off to shoot the revealing black and white commercials, in which the singer writhes around in bed before waking up and pulling on some jeans.
However, editors at Britain's The Sun newspaper claim the sexy close-up shots of Rihanna's butt and cleavage are actually those of Irish model Jahnassa Aicken, who had reportedly signed a gag order to ban her from discussing the job.
An insider tells the publication, "Jahnassa's torso, body and bum appear in parts of the ad. It's shocking Rihanna wanted one considering she loves posing with no clothes, plus she's in great shape."
But Rihanna insists the tattoo on her hand proves the curves shown in the black and white ads are all hers and she has lashed out at The Sun in a series of angry Twitter.com posts.
She writes, "Ok @thesunnewspaper, this is the only way I could say this to you!!! F**K YOU… Who is Jahnassa… Does she have a tat (tattoo) on her hand too?"

Topic: RPG: Jedi Purge
This RPG is about the attack on the Jedi Temple. You can choose to either be a Jedi or a clone trooper. You can also be a Temple Guard (like the ones from Battlefront 2),but I doubt anyone will choose to be one.
You may choose any rank except for Commander (I am special because I am made this RPG) I am Commander Appo and you will either serve under me as a clone, or be a Jedi. Same rules as a normal RPG. You can't kill another person's character unless they say you can. However, you can wound them. No all powerful characters. Jedi can't have super powered force moves (ex. blowing up a room with the force and stuff.) The clones will eventually win just like in the movie, but your character can escape if you are a Jedi. when every Jedi has escaped and the RPG is over, I will make a new one where the clones try and hunt down Jedi on various planets.
Nobody can be Zett Jukassa, that kid Jedi who almost killed Commander Appo but was shot down.
Name: CC-1119
Nickname: Appo (I'm not sure why he is called that)
Rank: Commander
Weapons: DC-15 carbine, dual blaster pistols, cluster grenades (Not sure if he really had them but they are cool)
History: Appo was the Senior Clone Commander for the 501st legion. His elite troops were often sent to the farthest reaches of the galaxy to battle. Appo was ordered to attack the Jedi Temple with the 501st. That is what we are doing now.
Commander Appo was having a dicussion with Anakin Skywalker about the plans to take over the Jedi temple tonight.
"Sir, Commander Thire has Shock troops that are stationed nearby. Can they help us on our assault?" Appo asked.
"No!" Anakin snarled. He was a very cranky boy lol.
"Alright, sir, but my men are weary from battle. We might need extra help." Appo replied. The commander walked away to go give a prep talk to his troops. the troops were standing in formation, ready to fight.
"Men, tonight we shall destroy the Jedi vermin! We will halt their rebellion. We will slaughter all of them, the Masters and their brainwashed apprentices. Have no mercy, because we must stop the Jedi from taking over!" Appo shouted. His troops cheered, trying to mask their fear of their mission. They had all seen how deadly the Jedi are.
"Now we march!" Appo commanded. It was time to destroy the Jedi.
(P.s. If anyone is confused just tell me)

The reference was buried deep in a closing communiqué after the Council of Atlantic Premiers met last month in Halifax.
It was in the third-last paragraph of the two-page news release detailing joint efforts to expand the regional economy, create jobs and streamline regulatory co-operation.
It has premiers finally acknowledging the elephant in the room — major increases to minimum wages in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and other provinces. Many of them will reach $15 an hour in early 2019.
The four Atlantic premiers agreed "to explore opportunities to align minimum wage rates in the region" and to attain predictability and consistency throughout Atlantic Canada.
Will a $15 minimum wage attract even more Atlantic Canadian workers to Ontario or Alberta? To keep workers here, will businesses be forced to pay substantially higher wages?
Last year, there was considerable angst in the Atlantic business community over minimal increases.
P.E.I. now has the highest minimum wage rate at $11.25 an hour, followed by New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador at $11. Nova Scotia has the lowest wage — $10.35 for inexperienced workers and $10.85 for experienced workers.
A valid complaint of businesses has been unexpected increases to the minimum wage. They must budget for it, and that's a lesson Atlantic premiers seem finally to have learned. There is a commitment in the Maritimes to adjust minimum wages once a year on April 1, generally tied to the consumer price index; and the four Atlantic provinces are exploring opportunities to align rates.
Ontario's minimum wage leapt to $14 this month, creating turmoil in the fast-food industry, with some employers reducing employees' benefits and eliminating break times to cover the cost of the increases.
The reaction to that was swift. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne called those employers bullies, and consumer boycotts in support of workers forced some employers to back down.
Polls indicate a majority of Ontario residents support the minimum wage increases, and a surprising number of businesses have embraced the higher wage levels as well. They feel if they can retain an experienced workforce, then paying a higher wage is an acceptable cost of doing business.
The premiers have found a key ally in the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC), which has endorsed the concept of predictability and consistency in setting minimum wages.
Last week APEC released a report card that echoed the council of premiers' views.
Atlantic alignment would require that P.E.I. hold or slow its rate increases, while other provinces, especially Nova Scotia, catch up. That prospect has already drawn the ire of a P.E.I. anti-poverty group, which says Island workers would suffer from such an agreement. P.E.I. has always felt it must pay a higher minimum wage rate to retain workers, especially in fisheries and agricultural industries.
Atlantic premiers had better fast-track a regional strategy to assist both workers and employers amid this growing minimum wage imbalance threat from other regions of the country.

CANBERRA, Feb 25 (Reuters Life!) - Cyber attacks on Facebook pages set up to pay tribute to two murdered Australian children has prompted calls for the social networking site to be more accountable for its users.
Social media experts say it is natural that people who use sites such as Facebook or MySpace as a major form of communication should turn to these sites with personal tragedies.
These memorial sites often attract thousands of friends and well-wishers, as in the case of the pages set up after the deaths this month of Elliott Fletcher, 12, and Trinity Bates, 8.
Students from Brisbane College in the state of Queensland flocked to a memorial site set up after Fletcher was stabbed in a schoolyard fight two weeks ago, but it was defaced with offensive comments and images including child pornography and bestiality.
The same happened to a site set up in memory of Bates who was taken from her bed in Bundaberg, Queensland, with her body found in a nearby storm drain on Monday. A teenager accused of her murder was also revealed to be a Facebook friend of her parents.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has appealed to the owners of U.S.-based Facebook to find ways to stop a recurrence of these types of "sickening incidents".
"To have these things happen to Facebook pages set up for the sole purpose of helping these communities pay tribute to young lives lost in the most horrible ways adds to the grief already being experienced," Bligh wrote in a letter to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg which was released to the media.
"I seek your advice about whether Facebook can do anything to prevent a recurrence of these types of sickening incidents."
A spokesman for Bligh said the premier had yet to receive a response from Zuckerberg.
But Facebook spokeswoman Debbie Frost said the site had rules to check content and reviewers were quick to respond to any reports of hate or threats against an individual, pornography, or violent photos or videos, and would remove the content, and either warn or disable the accounts of those responsible.
"Facebook is highly self-regulating, and users can and do report content that they find questionable or offensive," Frost said in a statement.
She said in the tragic case of Elliott Fletcher, Facebook responded to reports of vandalism from others users and the police by removing the groups and disabling the accounts of the people responsible but that was about all the action possible.
"It is simply not possible to 'prevent' a person with a sinister agenda from undertaking offensive activity anywhere on the Internet where people can post content. Nor is it really possible in real life," Frost added.
Detective Superintendent Peter Crawford of Queensland police said people should think twice before setting up such social networking groups. As well as memorial sites, Facebook pages popped up vilifying the man accused of murdering Bates.
"I would say anybody thinking about putting these sites up in the future need to realise that they're going to attract these kinds of people," Crawford told radio station Fairfax Radio 4BC.
"The reality is once you open these sites up to open access to anyone on the Internet, you are going to attract unsavoury people and clearly that's occurred again."

If there is one lesson that resonates from years of watching markets, it's that earnings quality doesn't matter in cult stocks on the rise. Nobody wants to hear it. Look no further than Netflix. Or even Amazon.
All of which brings us to Tesla. Flying red flags over its earnings quality would appear to be foolhardy.
Still, to ignore it is just as foolhardy, especially given the first sentence of the most recent "shareholder letter" accompanying the fledgling car company's earnings. "Tesla reached profitability in the first quarter of 2013 for the first time in our ten year history," it stated.
Furthermore, lower in the same letter Tesla says: "We believe that the accepted automotive industry approach of focusing on margin improvement,profitability and deliveries are the more meaningful metrics for measuring progress."
If profits matter going forward, so does earnings quality. And according to Gradient Analytics, the earnings quality gets a grade of 'F."
What stands out the most?
"So many things," says Gradient research director Donn Vickrey."By declaring themselves profitable, I said there is just no way. How can this be at this point in the cycle? It has to be purely a paper profit and at that some elements of the paper may be lower quality than usual."
Paper or not, Vickrey believes whatever Tesla's profitability, it isn't sustainable.
Rather than go through all of his points, let's focus on just one: warranty accruals. This is the amount the company puts aside for expected warranty expenses — a non-cash charge that hits earnings as a cost of goods sold. The lower the provision, the less of a hit to earnings.
It's highly subjective, and Tesla current reserves at a rate,relative to sales, in-line with Ford and General Motors. But its warranty is longer than mainstream auto companies and "its product is based on new technology with unproven reliability," according to Gradient's report on Tesla." Of particular concern: The firm's eight-year, 100,000 mile battery warranty could prove to be extremely costly."
But what if the company is so new it simply doesn't know — so uses existing auto companies as a benchmark?
Under accounting rules, Vickrey says, if you don't know what they'll be "they should be higher, not lower."
Put another way: it could be yet another possible hit to earnings.
All in, Gradient estimates that once nonrecurring, unsustainable "and cosmetic" benefits are removed — rather than reporting a profit of $11.3 million, Tesla would've lost $91 million. And that doesn't include a more conservative warranty accrual. The good news, that's better than the $464 million it lost a year earlier — but not "profitable."
And we're not even talking about anything to support the current valuation.
My take: We've seen this before. Cult stocks like this run over any and all skeptics and critics — and Tesla is likely to continue leaving tire marks for the foreseeable future. Earnings quality, or lack thereof, rarely matters at this phase of a growth company's cycle. But Tesla makes such a big point of talking "profitability" that it should.
And what I know is this: investors may not care about earnings quality now, but one day it's likely they will wish they had. This has nothing to do with Tesla the car, and everything to do with Tesla's potential vulnerability with its stock.
P.S.: Tesla the stock is very dear to CEO Elon Musk. According to Tesla's proxy, his option grants are tied heavily to the company's market cap. Onward...

Not content to merely lobby for cutting Social Security pensions, the other day Peter Orszag put disability insurance on the menu as well, saying that people with disabilities should be working during this economic downturn.(It's bad for their character if they don't, you see, and they'll get lazy and unproductive.)
This is evidently something that the President's former GOP bff, Tom Coburn is on a tear about as well, so it's looking as though this might be one o0f those vaunted areas of common ground. (I'm sure nothing will make Republicans happier than throwing the poor disabled to the mercy of charity — where their characters can be appropriately monitored by the right people.)
Demographic and economic factors explain much of the increase in the number of people receiving Social Security disability benefits in recent decades. But that's not the impression you'd get from some alarmist recent reports. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), a member of the President's fiscal commission, told the commission that disability payments were "out of control," and authors of a new Brookings Institution report described the program as a "rapidly growing expense" that has "largely escaped the scrutiny of policymakers."
Here are the facts:
This month, 8.2 million people will receive disabled-worker benefits from Social Security. (Payments will also go to some of their family members: 160,000 spouses and 1.8 million children.) The number of disabled workers has doubled since 1995, while the working-age population — conventionally described as people age 20 through 64 — has increased by only about one-fifth. But that comparison is deceptive. Over that period:
* Baby boomers aged into their high-disability years. People are roughly twice as likely to be disabled at age 50 as at age 40, and twice as likely to be disabled at age 60 as at age 50. As the baby boomers (people born in 1946 through 1964) have grown inexorably older, disability cases have risen.
* More women qualified for disability benefits. In general, workers with severe impairments can get disability benefits only if they've worked for at least one-fourth of their adult life and for five of the last ten years. Until the great influx of women into the workforce that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, relatively few women met those tests; as recently as 1990, male disabled workers outnumbered women by nearly a 2 to 1 ratio. Now that more women have worked long enough to qualify for disability benefits, the ratio has fallen to just 1.1 to 1.
* Social Security's full retirement age rose from 65 to 66. When disabled workers reach the full retirement age, they begin receiving Social Security retirement benefits rather than disability benefits. The increase in the retirement age from 65 to 66 has delayed that conversion for many workers. This month, over 300,000 people between 65 and 66 are collecting disability benefits; under the rules in place a decade ago, they would be receiving retirement benefits instead.
The Social Security actuaries express the number of people receiving disability benefits using an "age- and sex-adjusted disability prevalence rate" that controls for these factors. Over the 1995-2010 period, that rate rose from 3.5 percent of the working-age population to 4.4 percent. That's certainly an increase, but not nearly as dramatic as the alarmists paint
Not surprisingly, the rate crept upward during periods of economic distress. Anecdotally and statistically, we know that many workers who can't find jobs and who exhaust their unemployment benefits turn to disability insurance.
I'm sure disabled people are at the head of the hiring lines right now. Employers don't have many people to choose from, after all.
Here's an entertaining fact for you: My brother-in-law Vincent receives toe and toenail care at the podiatrist. No he doesn't wear toenail polish like Frank Burns did on M*A*S*H. A combination of skin issues, chronic obesity, and intellectual disability create mundane but important foot problems for Vincent that require serious attention.
He's unlucky enough to require Medicaid. Luckily for him, though, he doesn't live in South Carolina (h/t Diane Meier's valuable tweets), since that state will no longer cover these mundane but important services. As today's WYFF4 news puts it:
Starting in February 2011, Medicaid will no longer cover podiatry services, routine eye exams or dental services for anyone older than 21. Routine circumcisions for newborns, diabetic equipment and services and some wheelchair accessories are on the list. Hospice care services will also be eliminated.
You read that last one correctly. The state will no longer provide Medicaid coverage for hospice care.
Like an anxious investor watching a crashing stock market, I'm seeing what's happening with Medicaid and wondering when states will finally hit bottom. One might think Arizona's transplant policy provides a credible floor (listen here if you haven't been following this). But maybe not. Here's what is coming later to South Carolina:
In April, Medicaid will eliminate services under the state's Community Long-term Care Program, which provides services to people at their home. That includes chore and appliance services, nutritional supplements, adult day health care nursing services and respite service. There will also be a reduction in the number of meals delivered to the home each week.
That's a new one. Meals on wheels will apparently reduce its weekly meal deliveries from fourteen to ten.
I don't quite know what to say, except to hope that this is some budgetary game of chicken, and these cuts don't actually happen. Given what is happening around the country, there's little reason to be hopeful.
This war on the safety net is starting to head into areas that we once would have thought were sacrosanct. I think it's the inevitable result of years of conservative cant, the cruel ethos of our post 9/11 rage and the unthinking embrace of post meltdown austerity. It's the perfect fetid petrie dish for the disaster capitalists to thrive.

Spitzer's rollicking campaign rollout
Politicians and pundits are already pairing him with mayoral hopeful and late-night TV show comedy fodder Anthony Weiner. Business types and unions, in a rare moment of consensus, are eying him with disdain.
Yet in his 24 hours back as a declared candidate for public office, disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is having a ball — released after a five-year sojourn through the political wilderness of short-lived talk shows and online columns. His campaign rollout even won a few grudging points from his longtime nemesis, Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Story Continued Below
And Democrats are privately admitting what most are afraid to say publicly: Spitzer has a very real chance of winning the race for New York City Comptroller, a job for which he is vastly overqualified.
( Also on POLITICO: Wall Street braces for Comptroller Eliot Spitzer)
"Anybody who discounts Eliot Spitzer is an idiot," said Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf, a consultant to mayoral hopeful Bill Thompson.
Still, the hurried, disjointed nature of the Spitzer candidacy was starting to become clear by Monday night, when three sources confirmed to POLITICO that Neal Kwatra, the longtime union organizer who's worked with Mike Bloomberg and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, would not sign on to the campaign for the long haul. Kwatra had agreed to help with the rollout without committing beyond that, the sources said, but the organizer did not set up a paid signature-gathering operation before departing.
Spitzer has only until Thursday to collect 4,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot — and realistically thousands more than that are needed as a buffer — a tight timeline that leaves him little room for error.
( PHOTOS: Eliot Spitzer's career)
Kwatra's temporary help was on some level a sign of fealty to Stringer — Kwatra has labor clients in his private consulting work — and one that represents a real potential problem for Spitzer.
Reporters noticed the absence of petition-carriers in Union Square; Spitzer had not only told reporters that Kwatra was with the campaign, but insisted to the New York Times that he would have 100 paid signature-gatherers on the streets early Monday.
Earlier in the day in Manhattan, Spitzer arrived by subway to start gathering signatures to get on the ballot. In an only-in-New York scene, the disgraced ex-governor traveled solo, venturing into a sea of photographers, TV cameras and reporters that tracked his every step.
( Also on POLITICO: Spitzer explains his return)
His arrival into an already chaotic open-seat election caught even most of Spitzer's circle by surprise. He had been looking to get back into politics almost from the moment his prostitution scandal forced his resignation in 2008 — but even the people who thought they were in his inner circle had already written off his reentry in 2013.
He'd talked to them about running for something. He'd laid out a plan and talked to them about trying for the almost completely unknown office of New York City comptroller, and what he'd do on the job if he won.
"There was a sense in the last year that he very much wanted to get back in the game – he would tell you flat out that it was just, 'Bide the time,'" said one former Spitzer adviser who's been regularly in touch with the former governor.
As his rocky 15 months at governor showed, Spitzer was better at poking and instigating than being in charge. By the time he was outed as Client 9, his administration was mired in a scandal involving the misuse of state troopers to track the Republican State Senate majority leader and an ultimately abandoned push to give illegal immigrants drivers' licenses.
( Also on POLITICO: Spitzer launches political comeback)
Now Spitzer's looking at the very real possibility of winning and transforming the office into a major new force in the financial world, and a four-year-long migraine for the city's next mayor. Sheinkopf pointed out that the labor unions that are aligned behind his would-be opponent, Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer, will not make the comptroller's race their priority; they will be focused on the mayoral race.

With Tony Gonzalez getting the week off from Falcons minicamp, they needed some more help at tight end.
So they added another, signing former Jaguars, 49ers and Colts tight end Colin Cloherty, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Cloherty might be a spare part for camp, but the extra work for fourth-rounder Levine Toilolo this week will be worth monitoring.
The 6-foot-8 Stanford product could be a contributor for the Falcons in the red zone in the future beyond Gonzalez, or maybe sooner.

AI War 2 is out now in Early Access! Get it on Steam today!
First game, and you got that much enabled? Damn, you brave, son!Congratulations on your first win!
Congratulations on your win!Was that your first game, period? No lost or aborted games before that? That is impressive. Well done!
If you are interested in something different for your second game, I'd actually recommend the Fallen Spire campaign over the Exodian Blade alternate win condition. There's a lot more substance to Fallen Spire, and it helps build up some of the game mechanics that the Blade's mini-campaign kinds of drops on you.
(and yes - avoid the trains. Always avoid the trains )
If not, I... can't say that I recommend standard champion progress. Those nebula scenarios are pretty tedious

Alan Dalton post's birding diaries and original artwork from Sweden. Established in 2006, this now long running blog is now a complete overview of my birding experiences. As an artist I greatly enjoy sketching birds in the field and you will find a wide selection of that work here, from fieldwork to finished paintings. I am very passionate about my artwork and try to depict birds in their natural habitat, as I see them in the wild. My artwork is for sale and can be viewed at
As regards to my photography, since 2008 I have used a Nikon D90 DSLR camera coupled with a Sigma 150-500mm OS lens for since March 2012 for
bird photography, all previous images being digiscoped.
Regarding sound recording, I have been usung a Telinga Stereo Dat Mic and parabol to record birds in the field, coupled to a Marrantz 661 digital recorder, a superb piece of kit. Interest in butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies has recently seen the accquisition of a Sigma 150mm macro lens. I hope you enjoy the blog and please feel free to leave comments or contact me at email@example.com
