Whatever you call it, I did it on New Year's Day. As I wrote last week, we will be focusing on the turkey dinner. I researched a recipe on the net an decided to adapt it to my own needs. It turned out pretty good. The recipe was from About.com. I'm going to post the recipe here and make my own notes about how I did it. Pictures will come later.
Basic Bread Stuffing
* 1/4 cup finely chopped onionsI also like onion, so I just used a small onion, and it doesn't have to be fine. I like Medium chopped.
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 1/3 cup butter I mistakenly gave this 1/2 cup. It was still pretty good.
* 4 cups bread cubes
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 2 eggs, beaten I used 1 duck egg which is the equivalent to 2 chicken eggs.
* 1/2 teaspoon salt I'm not a salt person, so I didn't use it.
* 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
* 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning For the seasoning, see below.
* turkey or chicken broth I used vegetable which works just as well.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme…no, no rosemary. I didn't have any poultry seasoning, so I used my own blend. I had some butter left over from the turkey and since I didn't use my hands to dish it out, I felt that I could use the same thing in my stuffing and it worked really well. The spices got a better chance to marry with the mix and made it a better mixture. The egg was purchased at our local farmer's market from Green Eggs and Ham, a local farm here in Edmonton.
Sauté onion and celery in the butter until softened. Combine onion mixture with bread, pepper, eggs, salt, sage and poultry seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Stir in broth until well moistened. Enough for an 8 to 10-pound turkey. Or, bake in a greased covered shallow casserole at 325° for about 35 to 45 minutes. This is what I did. Take the cover off the last 5 minutes to brown.
The only problem with this recipe is that it makes enough for 2-4 people. Otherwise it's a great recipe. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Even if Arkansas voters should approve of Issue 5, the Medical Marijuana Act, in the Nov. 6 election, therapeutic weed won't be accessible soon. "Issue 5 is not a get-out-of-jail-free card," says Jerry Cox, who heads the Family Council, a coalition of fundamentalist churches who oppose marijuana in the same way they oppose abortion and gay marriage. Regardless of Issue 5, possession of marijuana for any purpose will still be illegal under federal law. (Though that hasn't stopped 17 other states from legalizing medical marijuana, with varying results. Medical marijuana is legal also, through congressional action, in the District of Columbia. Arkansas, generally considered a backward sort of state, would experience a change of image should it become the first Southern state to approve medical marijuana.)
Issue 5 was placed on the ballot by initiative, which is to say by regular people, not by the state legislature. Almost certainly, there would be legislative attacks on a voter-approved Issue 5, prompted by the Family Council and other opponents.
Supporters of the act say the measure is self-enabling and that legislative action to implement it is neither necessary nor permissible. But the legislature still has authority to amend the substance of the proposal, perhaps drastically, although a two-thirds vote would be needed to amend, and a two-thirds vote is usually hard to achieve. Legislators seem overwhelmingly opposed to Issue 5, at least publicly, but many of them will be reluctant to override a vote of the people. (They may be less reluctant if Republicans gain a legislative majority in the Nov. 6 election. Republican legislators tend toward the reckless.) In any case, there are ways the legislature can make it difficult for legalization to go smoothly, and legislators would be urged to do so by the Family Council and perhaps the Chamber of Commerce, two strong lobby groups. The Chamber is opposed to Issue 5, and the Chamber usually gets what it wants from the legislature, but nullification of a voter-approved act might not be a high legislative priority for the group. The Chamber has fingers in many pies.
Whatever the legislature might do with Issue 5, its approval by voters would reveal a huge gap between the people and the officials who are supposed to represent them. Even a close vote against marijuana would expose a legislature badly out of step with constituents.
Chris Kell, campaign strategist for Issue 5, professes to believe that if the act is approved by the voters, it will take effect more or less unhampered by the legislature, but he could hardly say anything else at this pre-election point. Why borrow trouble? "I hope the legislators listen to their constituents," he says. "You'd think elected officials would listen." Many a reformer has found otherwise.
Gov. Mike Beebe has said he'll vote against Issue 5, and members of his administration, including a state "drug czar," are openly campaigning against the act on state time, using taxpayers' dollars, a commitment to keep ill citizens suffering that is questionable if not, as Kell claims, outright illegal. But Beebe, a moderate Democrat — the only kind of moderate these days — isn't the sort to crusade against an act once the people have approved it.
The Obama administration's attorney general, Eric Holder, has said in effect that enforcement of the federal law against medical marijuana is not a high priority with the Justice Department at the moment. But it'll be a high priority if Holder is replaced by a Republican attorney general in January. States' rights will count for little then in states that have approved medical marijuana. When Asa Hutchinson, an Arkansas Republican, was the federal drug czar, under the second President Bush, he was relentless in cutting off cancer patients from their prescribed pain relief. Another possibility, one that could tip in the patients' favor, is that the federal Drug Enforcement Administration could reclassify marijuana so that doctors could legally prescribe it, and pharmacies legally fill those prescriptions. The DEA has so far refused to do that; its refusal is being appealed in federal court.
Regardless of how this year's medical-marijuana election comes out, there'll be another. If marijuana opponents lose this time, they'll arrange a rematch, either by initiative or legislative collusion. The Family Council opposes Issue 5 on religious grounds. The Chamber of Commerce argues, more or less, that legalizing medical marijuana would increase the use of marijuana generally, and that workers under the influence of marijuana might come to work and cause accidents, slowing production and exposing employers to lawsuits. If medical marijuana becomes legal, the chamber will likely demand legislation limiting or eliminating employers' liability in marijuana-related accidents.
If they lose this year, medical-marijuana supporters will try again at some point, too. Time is on their side, younger voters more willing to accept medical marijuana than their elders. And not even the Family Council and the Chamber of Commerce can stop time's inexorable march. The Family Council might call on a higher power, but some think He's on the other side.
Hard feelings will continue. When Cox looked on at a pro-Issue 5 rally at the Capitol, and was interviewed by reporters afterward, one of the Issue 5 supporters stood nearby delivering unpleasantries, including, "You're a coward!" Cox gave no sign he heard. He may be the most hated man in Arkansas, and seems to thrive on it. To a reporter who asked what the Family Council would do if Issue 5 is approved, he said "I don't think it's going to be approved," and scurried away on his rounds. He stays busy.

What is Searchlight on Campaign 2001?
on Campaign 2001 is a guide to the political races in what
many are calling New York City's most significant campaign
season in modern history.
What is so significant about it?
the first time in memory, most political offices in the city
will be wide open to people who have neither money nor connections.
Why will the races be so open?
are two reasons. This year, a new law goes into effect that
limits the terms of New York City elected officials, forcing
the mass retirement of most incumbents in the city - including
the mayor, the comptroller, the public advocate, four of the
five borough presidents, and 36 of the 51 members of the City
Council. At the same time, a new campaign finance law kicks
in, which allows any candidate who agrees to certain restrictions
to collect four dollars of matching funds for every dollar
they raise.
What does this have to do with this site?
a public service, Searchlight on Campaign 2001 has a separate
page for each race, including all the races for City Council,
that not only sorts out the candidates -- many of them new
and unfamiliar -- but also offers an opportunity to learn
about the issues, and the districts themselves.
Who is behind Searchlight on Campaign 2001?
on Campaign 2001 is a project of Gotham Gazette, a non-profit,
non-partisan, non-ideological (but non-boring) web site about
New York City news, policy and politics published by Citizens
Union Foundation, part of the oldest and largest good-government
group in the city (founded in 1897).
What's wrong with the way the regular press
covers the races?
is for you to decide. And one of our regular features, Campaign
Trail, helps you to decide. Campaign Trail provides succinct
summaries and links to campaign articles in the commercial

Official Primary Election Voter Guide for Residents of District
A Suburb In the City, Except Diverse
In many ways the neighborhoods of Queens Village, Floral Park,
Glen Oaks, and Oakland Gardens, with their many single-family
detached houses, more closely resemble western Nassau County than
the rest of the city. With its safe streets and more suburban
feel, the area has become attractive to many young families, including
new immigrants, from India, Korea, Guyana and Haiti.
That may be why, though the three candidates seeking to replace
Sheldon Leffler are remarkably different from one another, all
three have made the same two issues as their top priority - education
and "safe" new homes.
Bernice Siegal, Leffler's legal counsel, said the number one
issue facing her constituents, and the city at large, is the lack
of quality public education. As a "proud graduate" of Queens schools,
Siegal thinks city government needs to shift its emphasis from
quality of life and public safety measures to the city's sprawling
school system.
Jairam Thakral, an accountant and a native of Delhi who hopes
to become the first Indian on the city council, said the population
of District 23 has outgrown its school system. He hopes he can
use his financial experience to "give something back" to the schools
and the area.

statistics and more -- click here.
David Weprin, brother of State Assemblyman Mark Weprin, and son
of the late Assembly Speaker Saul Weprin, points to the innovative
middle school of school district 29, in which students can choose
from an array of academic choices in the course of their studies,
as a model education initiative he would like to replicate in
his council district. Weprin, who is an attorney and an executive
in the financial services field, is opposed to school vouchers
and would like to see an increase in teacher salaries to attract
"new, young, qualified" instructors and reduce class size.
Also on the agenda for these candidates is the need for safe,
affordable housing. A long-time tenant's rights advocate, Siegal
notes that too many houses in her district have been converted
to multi-family dwellings in ways that are unsafe, putting these
homes and the people that live in them in danger from fire and
overcrowding. She also proposes a coordinated effort among various
city agencies to identify land upon which new homes can be erected.
In her plan, these new housing developments would include rent-stabilized
units for lower income residents as well as market-rate housing.
Weprin aims to keep real estate taxes low in order to attract
new families.
Despite the candidates' agreement on the issues, each claims
support from different sectors of the county party.
Thakral is counting on immigrant voters and feels the term-limits
that will oust Councilman Leffler out of his seat after 23 years
in office, provides a great opportunity for many of the city's
new residents to become more involved in politics.
"Diversity is key," said Thakral. "These people [from immigrant
groups] are professional people: doctors, lawyers, accountants,
computer technicians - and they want to take part in the process.
This is their adopted motherland."
Siegal has garnered the endorsement of State Assemblywoman Cathy
Nolan. Weprin, a county Democratic leader, enjoys the support
of the County Democratic Party hierarchy.
However Councilmember Leffler, saying he's "friendly with all
the candidates," declines to endorse any of them. Leffler's reticence
is perhaps the result of his current quest for Claire Shulman's
soon-to-be vacated post of Queens Borough President. By endorsing
his staff member Siegal, an unexpected challenger to establishment
candidate Weprin, he could risk losing the party's support in
his own race.
Weprin is currently leading in fundraising, followed by Siegal
and Thakral. But Thakral was once quoted in the Times of India
as saying his middle initial "D." stands for "dollar." He will
also have to overcome the political connections of his opponents
to win the council seat. He thinks he has a shot at it.
"American democracy should not be a dynasty," said Thakral. "It
should reflect diversity."
Campaign Update:
In May, front runner Bernice Siegal was offered a judgeship by
Queens Democratic leaders, which would mean she would have to
drop out of the race for city council and help pave the way for
candidate David Weprin.
"That night I cried," Siegal told the Queens Courier. "I knew
that I could have beaten David. The posters were ordered. A mailing
was about to go out. And I was winning. But being a judge is what
I always wanted to be. It's for a ten year term. And I'll stay
there for the rest of my career. So, in the end, I'm happy."
So is David Weprin, who was endorsed by the Queens Democratic
organization, and is banking on the $180,000 he has raised, and
his familiar family name.
"I grew up being taught that public service is a noble profession,"
said Weprin. "My father's home number was always listed for the
public, as is mine. I enjoy dealing with the public and was exposed
to it at an early age."
But Weprin's opponents said that the Queens delegation of city
council needs diversity, not a family legacy and a political machine
candidate. Jairam Thakral hopes to be the first Indian-American
in the city council.
"Unlike other immigrants who came before us, like the Jewish
community or the Italians, all of whom went into politics, South
Asians basically went on to embrace business and economics," said
Thakral in an interview with the Times of India. "We need to change
Philip Sica, who is backed by the Republican, Independent, Conservative
and Right to Life parties said it is time for more Republicans
in the city council.
"If you have a minority representative in the council, it keeps
the people in power in check," said Sica, who bills himself as
the "quality of life" candidate. "I want to keep the good things

Campaign Trail
Newsday announces its endorsements in a number of Queens City Council races.
District 19: Jerry Iannece's "legal experience and community activism make him qualified. Each of his opponents - particularly Arthur Cheliotes, president of Communications Workers of America Local 1180, and the party-backed Tony Avella. . . is a credible candidate. But Iannece has the most innovative ideas for addressing the district's needs."
District 20. "John Liu, the party designee, could have avoided some last-minute controversy had he used better judgment. As a member of Community Board 7 in Flushing, he voted last year with the majority to approve a variance for a development company whose partners include a campaign contributor. Liu, an actuary, should have recused himself. . . . We hope he has learned something about appearances. Still, his energy and impressive command of the issues make up for his lack of political acumen. And while his civic service isn't as long as that of opponent Ethel Chen, he seems better suited to alleviate the tensions between old-time residents and new immigrants.
District 21. "Despite the ethnic conflict dividing various Latino communities in the district, the four candidates - all Latinos - are evenly matched. . . .Luis Rosero is the most appealing. . . .His background gives him intimate knowledge of government and politics. His contacts at the federal level wouldn't hurt, either. He also understands the common concerns of a diverse population."
District 22. "As a member of Queens School Board 30, John Ciafone has worked diligently on behalf of school kids. . . . But Ciafone made a mistake that we cannot overlook: His ads in a local weekly newspaper boasted of endorsements by mayoral candidates Fernando Ferrer and Mark Green. Such endorsements never existed. Ciafone says the ads should have read "supported," not "endorsed" - a stretch, to say the least. . . . That leaves Peter Vallone Jr., the party's designee. Voters get more than a name with Vallone. He helped found a community group to fight power plants in western Queens. And he has learned something from watching his father's success as Council speaker. Newsday endorses Vallone."
District 23. "David Weprin is a Democratic district leader, his brother is a state assemblyman, and their late father was Assembly speaker. By contrast, Jairam Thakral immigrated from India 30 years ago, got an MBA from St. John's and recently retired as chief financial officer of the State Veterans Home on Long Island. Thakral emphasizes his financial experience in dealing with city, state and federal governments. . . . He contrasts his "diversity" with Weprin's "dynasty." Weprin, a lawyer, was the state's deputy superintendent of banks. . . . Thakral radiates eagerness to improve the city's quality of life, but Weprin has more experience and a deeper knowledge of the district. We endorse Weprin.
District 24. "The three candidates are already on the public payroll. Barry Grodenchik is Borough President Claire Shulman's chief administrative officer. He emphasizes the downside of the 2012 Olympics, which he says could freeze development in western Queens and shut down much of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park for years. James Gennaro has been a policy analyst for the City Council since 1990, specializing in environmental issues. He's positive on the 2012 Olympics but negative on destroying Flushing Meadows wetlands to create a rowing course for the games. David Reich, chief of staff to a state senator from Brooklyn, cites his experience drafting bills in Albany . Gennaro offers greater familiarity with the council and broader concern for the environment. We endorse Gennaro."
District 25. "The organization person in this multi-candidate race is Helen Sears, a longtime district leader and community affairs director at Elmhurst Hospital Center. . . . Louisa Chan, a nurse and three-term secretary of School Board 24, wants community school boards to have more power and the central board to be elected. Magdalena Schultheis, vice president of an international hospitality consulting firm, would like to cut back bureaucracy to produce more affordable housing. James Van Bramer, community affairs manager for the Queensborough Public Library, has been an activist for campaign finance reform as well as gay and lesbian rights. . . .Finally, Rudolph Greco is a lawyer, civic enthusiast and author of a children's history of Jackson Heights. Along with a dedicated tax to provide higher teacher pay and smaller classes, he would encourage corporate partnerships to improve schools. Greco is a convivial, seasoned, one-of-a-kind candidate with a shrewd grasp of the district's needs and possibilities. Newsday endorses Greco. (Newsday)
In Eastern Queens, or district 23, Jairim D. Thakral hopes to
make his presence felt. He brandished himself to be the "people's
candidate." In a tour of Gurdurwara, a Mosque, and a temple, Thakral
delivered several speeches, which reflected his desire for "political
empowerment for my community." Amongst his accomplishments are
over thirty years experience at positions with both city and state.
He also has a great deal of experience as financial administrator.
He is aware of the benefits of his prior work experience. He showed
this when he stated that "I know how the government runs and how
the funds are appropriated and each district gets the money for
services depending on the power you have." His support in the
district has been great. Amongst his priorities include an improvement
in the New York health care system. He wants to save the public
hospital system, primarily for veterans and the uninsured. He
also wants to see improvements in all other areas of community
interest. Such areas include: facilities for the elderly, the
recreational system, the educational system, and facilities for
the youth of the district. The candidates share the view that
in the past, the community has focused solely on economics, employment,
education and family. Now they feel that there should be focus
on political empowerment. Should these three be elected, their
view of political empowerment could be attained. Said Thakral:
"We have nobody to take care of our interests, at the city or
state." Should they be elected, they feel the interests of our
community would no longer be a concern. (India Post)
Bernice Siegal, a candidate for district 23, was offered a judgeship.
"I didn't anticipate this," she told me. "But last Thursday, at
the Democratic Dinner, (Dem organization operative) Mike Reich
goes over to Honey Miller (the Dem District Leader who heads Siegal's
club, the Eleanor Roosevelt Democrats). Honey comes to me and
Honey, Mike, and I talk. Mike offers me the judgeship. That would
mean that I'd have to drop out and County's candidate, David Weprin,
would get the Council seat. I figured that a bird in the hand
is worth . . . well, I said yes. Then, that night I cried. I knew
that I could have beaten David. The posters were ordered. A mailing
was about to go out. And I was winning. But being a judge is what
I always wanted to be. It's for a ten year term. And I'll stay
there for the rest of my career. So, in the end, I'm happy." Honey
Miller was concerned that this judgeship would prejudice her club
in the granting of future judgeships. However, Reich assured her
that this judgeship would be "charged" to David Weprin and his
Saul Weprin Democratic Club. (Queens
Foreign-Born Pols Aim to Make Voices Heard With term limits

Changes in the Political Map of Queens since era of Donald
Manes ended in 1985.
There has developed a strong dynastic tendency among people in
office. At least half a dozen sons have succeeded their fathers,
or are preparing to do so. Mark Weprin succeeded his father, Saul
Weprin, in the Assembly. And Mark's brother, David Weprin, is
a candidate for City Council in a district that includes Mark

same district that his father, Leonard Stavisky, represented and
Leonard Stavisky's wife, Toby Stavisky, now represents the same
State Senate district that her late husband represented. At least

in Battery Park City. There are several candidates hoping
to be the council's firsts -- the first Asian-American man,
the first Asian-American woman, the first gay Rhodes Scholar,
the first dot-com guru -- running against some politically
well connected opponents. Endorsements and fundraising will
play a big role in this race. But voter turnout could be the
main determinant of who will next represent district 1 on
the council. The key question is how many voters from each
community will come out on Election Day.
7 -- Washington Heights, Manhattan
The northern tip of Manhattan has become one of the most popular
places for new immigrants to call home. The northern tip of
Manhattan is a place that today's new immigrants call home.
The majority have come from the Dominican Republic, but also
from countries in South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia.
But it is not just new immigrants that are moving in. Students,
artists, and other Manhattanites looking for less expensive
rents and larger apartments have also moved north. Ten Democratic
candidates are competing for the 15,000 voters expected on
primary day. The winner who emerges from a crowded field of
candidates will have to balance the needs of the newcomers
with those who have lived there for years.
16 -- Highbridge, Bronx
The neighborhoods of district 16 are the city's poorest, with
the highest rate of unemployment and the lowest median household
income. But those who live there also point out that much
is positive and stable about the area, thanks in large part
to local organizations, not-for-profit agencies, and houses
of worship that help hold the neighborhoods together. Each
candidate for City Council believes that through his or her
connections to churches and local organizations, they can
help empower the community toward a better life. Helen Foster,
the current council member daughter, will face Michael Benjamin,
who has worked as an aide to several government officials
and Anthony Curry, a Bronx neighborhood activist.
20 -- Northeast Flushing, Queens
This year district 20 may elect the first Asian-American ever
to the City Council to an area which now has the second highest
number of immigrants from Korea and Taiwan in the city. There
are three Asian candidates in the Democratic race who have
each drawn big endorsements. Council Speaker Peter Vallone
endorsed Terence Park, City Comptroller Alan Hevesi endorsed
John Liu, and the New York Times recently endorsed Ethel Chen
The campaign has also drawn national and international press
25 -- Jackson Heights, Queens
Thirty-seventh Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens is one of
the most diverse streets in the world. Little India quickly
blends into Little Colombia, with vendors selling Latin American
food to Colombians, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, Mexicans, and
Uruguayans. And each summer, the Queens Pride Parade fills
the same street with rainbow banners. So it is no surprise
that this election year the district produced a diverse field
of candidates. A number of them, however, found out that getting
on the ballot is not an easy task, especially when the Queens
Democratic organization sends teams of lawyers to challenge
petitions. But five Democratic candidates survived and will
face off on September 11.
31 -- South East Queens
When a heavy rain hits southeast Queens, many residents in
neighborhoods like Springfield Gardens, Laurelton and Rosedale
head to the basement with a bucket in hand. And it has been
that way for the last 50 years. In the rush to build housing
in the area after World War II, developers overlooked the
need for storm drains in hopes that the city would eventually
build a city-wide sewer system. The plan never materialized
and the area has experienced "100-year rains" three times
in the last decade. The eight Democrats -- all with little
experience overseeing massive infrastructure projects--will
try to convince voters that they can finally solve the flooding
35 -- Central Brooklyn
The residents in council district 35 have some of the highest
incomes in Brooklyn and some of the lowest. They can play
in a famous park and a beautiful botanical garden, and live
in the city's most crumbling public housing. They can attend
one of the four institutions of higher learning in the district,
and the worst-scoring high schools in the city. Such juxtapositions
are a way of life for a district that includes the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanical
Gardens; mid dle-class African-American communities near Prospect
Park; immigrant communities from Haiti, Sierra Leon, Nigeria,
and Trinidad, and in Crown Heights, a mix of Hasidic Jews
and African-Americans. Seven Democratic candidates are campaigning
in hopes that they can bring some kind of unity, and attention,
to the area. Their backgrounds are as diverse as the neighborhoods
39 -- Park Slope/Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn
The candidates in district 39 include a chief of staff for
an Assemblywoman, the husband of a member of U.S. Congress,
a lawyer for the Legal Aid Society, an attorney and president
of the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats, Senator Hillary
Clinton's campaign manager, the district manager of Community
Board 6, and a labor organizer. This is the race to watch
this year. The group of high-profile Democrats have raised
a lot of money, almost $1.4 million combined.
45 -- East Flatbush
In no place in the city are the effects of campaign finance
reform and term limits being felt more than in East Flatbush.
The seven Democratic candidates seeking to represent this
largely West Indian district come from a number of Caribbean
nations. Many have been working on politicians' staffs and
serving with community groups, clearly hoping someday to win
their own elected office. Term limits has presented them with
that opportunity, and they want to make the most of it. But
this race that usually draws only about 8,000 voters could
be decided by just a few votes. The candidates are attempting
to come up with anything that will separate them from the
49 -- North Shore, Staten Island
Staten Island has always been somewhat of a suburban stepchild
to New York City. When a 1998 survey asked New Yorkers why
they go to Staten Island, the top two responses were ''visiting
friends and relatives" and ''passing through.'' But in many
ways, the north shore has more in common with areas of Manhattan
and Brooklyn than with the rest of the Staten Island. The
top priority for all the candidates -- Jon Del Giorno, an
administrative manager for the Board of Elections, Mike McMahon,
an attorney and counsel to current Councilmember Jerome O'Donovan,
and Debi Rose, an administrator at the College of Staten Island
and the first African-American candidate in Staten Island
politics -- is to make sure that the island becomes more than
just a turn-around-point for the over one million tourists
who ride the free ferry from Manhattan each year.

How to Bore the Children by Charles Eisenstein
"Here is how to make a child bored: first and foremost, keep him indoors so that the infinitude of nature, its endless variation and chaotic messiness is replaced by a finite, orderly, predictable realm. Second, through television and video games, habituate him to intense stimuli so that everything else seems boring by comparison. Third, eliminate … More How to Bore the Children by Charles Eisenstein

Daddy's away for work this week, so it's just me and the kiddos dining at Chez Mom.
I find it hard to motivate myself to make the regular kinds of meals that I do when Daddy's home, but I made sure to meal plan our dinners this week so I didn't give into finger food dinners for the kids and skipping dinner all together for myself.
Here's what we had:
Honey Glazed Salmon with Citrus Avocado Salsa
Courtesy of Cooking Classy
4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
8 tsp honey, divided
8 tsp flour, divided
2 Tbsp olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large hass avocado, peeled, cored and diced
1/3 cup chopped red onion (I like to run under cool water to remove harsh bite)
1 tsp orange zest
2 small navel oranges, peeled, segmented and diced*
1 tsp lime zest
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Working with 2 salmon fillets at a time, sprinkle tops of fillets with salt and pepper, then drizzle tops with 1 tsp honey and rub over salmon to evenly cover, then sprinkle tops with 1 tsp flour and spread to cover.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, once oil is hot add 2 salmon fillets to pan and cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. While they cook, sprinkle tops of fillets in pan with salt and pepper then drizzle and rub top with 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp flour.
Carefully rotate salmon and cook until bottom is golden, about 2 minutes longer. Repeat process with remaining 2 fillets.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray then transfer salmon to baking sheet. Bake in preheated until cooked through, about 7 – 10 minutes longer (cook time will vary depending on thickness of salmon).
Serve warm with citrus avocado salsa.
For the salsa:
Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and gently toss, while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
*This can also be made without the oranges, just omit the oranges and orange zest and use 2 avocados and up lime zest to 2 tsp.
I failed to buy the avocados, so we had our salmon sans salsa. But I married it up with some steamed spinach, a Caprese salad and some "browned rice". The kiddos sure gobbled their dinners up quickly, so this another dish to add to the Weeknight Dinner list.

More Deeper into the Soul: Beyond Dementia and Alzheimer's Toward Forgetfulness Care
Elders Academy Press is excited to announce that we have copies of Deeper into the Soul: Beyond Dementia and Alzheimer's Toward Forgetfulness Care.

Deeper into the Soul will push you further than you meant to go, surprising you into a smile of pleasure, a buzz of new learning, a challenge to your usual interpretation of meaning.

~Elizabeth Bugental, Psychotherapist and Author of AgeSong: Meditations for Later Years
This book is a practical guide for people who work and live with relatives or residents with symptoms of forgetfulness. The authors offer ideas and tips dealing with symptoms such as aggression and wandering, but they also explore a new way of understanding the people for whom we care. They ask the basic existential questions: What are the possible meanings of forgetfulness? What purpose does it serve for both caregiver and the one experiencing forgetfulness?

For anybody out there in a creative communications field, or even just very adept at the English language, you may have heard the quote, "I made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter", as written by Blaise Pascal. Well, it's true because the mere fact that rascally devil Mark Twain tried to take that quote and shorten it to, "If I had more time I would write a shorter letter", just goes to show you how poorly Monsieur Pascal did in the first place. Then again, he was born 60 years after Shakespeare, so thou dost believe he may have foundeth extensive difficulties in this task.
I, for one fail miserably. Funnily enough, at work I am currently mentoring my intern on how to write in simpler terms. Write short? Ya, right. How on earth could I get all my witty andecdotes out there then? (kidding…well, sort of). But, let's be honest, it is incredibly difficult to do. Why do you think there are so many brutal tweets floating in the digital world and why do you think all these terrible acronyms were invented "FML, LMAO, LOL, OMG"…or my brother's favourite…"OMFG"? It's because there are things we all want to say and cannot in 140 characters or less! Also noted, when reading some of my friends' texts, I swear I'm chatting (I can't believe I just called it that) with an illiterate sailor who cannot spell or avoid swearing in a one-sentence message…they want to say so much more than they want to type! C'mon, just give in, type YOURSELF and get over urself.
Once again, who am I to really judge anyone? I am a recent iPhone owner and am incredibly guilty for shortening (you) to (u)…but the (u) is actually next to the (i) and pretty consistently I mistakenly hit the wrong one, COMPLETELY changing the message (oh HOW funny)…and more importantly I am now getting off topic. Butttt, more often than not I end up sounding like a narcissistic ass. Somehow the meaning of "I suck" changes when it becomes "u suck ".
But, back to the point…which, I inadvertently just proved. It's hard to stay concise. My grade 12 English teacher (let's call him Mr. Pretentious Douche) told my mother I would never achieve an 'A' in his class. I was younger than the other students and he believed it took a certain maturity to grasp the English language. What I soon discovered is that he believed in brevity. Shorten your sentences, simplify your words, say more in less. 3 months later….I got an A.
Take that. Short enough for you?

Antimicrobial Peptide LL37 and MAVS Signaling Drive Interferon-β Production by Epidermal Keratinocytes During Skin Injury
Investigators found that type 1 interferon-β was abundantly produced by epidermal keratinocytes in psoriasis and during wound repair. [Immunity] Abstract | Graphical Abstract
(Ranked by impact factor of the journal)
Plexins Function in Epithelial Repair in Both Drosophila and Zebrafish
Scientists describe a role for Plexin A (PlexA), a protein with particularly well-characterized roles in axonal pathfinding, in the healing of damaged epithelia in Drosophila. Semaphorins, which are PlexA ligands, also regulate tissue repair. [Nat Commun] Full Article
Transient Tissue-Scale Deformation Coordinates Alignment of Planar Cell Polarity Junctions in the Mammalian Skin
Investigators showed that Celsr1 asymmetry arises concomitant with a gradient of tissue deformation oriented along the medial-lateral axis. This uniaxial tissue tension, whose origin remains unknown, transiently transforms basal epithelial cells from initially isotropic and disordered states into highly elongated and aligned morphologies. Reorienting tissue deformation is sufficient to shift the global axis of polarity, suggesting that uniaxial tissue strain can act as a long-range polarizing cue. [Curr Biol] Abstract
Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in Keratinocytes Is Essential for Murine Skin Barrier Integrity
Researchers showed that transepidermal water loss, a parameter of skin barrier integrity, is high in aryl hydrocarbon receptor-deficient mice. [J Invest Dermatol] Abstract
Activation of Dopamine D1 Receptors in Dermal Fibroblasts Restores VEGF-A Production by These Cells and Subsequent Angiogenesis in Diabetic Cutaneous Wound Tissues
Investigators demonstrated that stimulation of D1 dopamine receptors present in dermal fibroblasts restores vascular endothelial growth factor A production by these cells, resulting in adequate angiogenesis and subsequent healing of cutaneous wounds in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic mice. [Am J Pathol] Abstract
Epidermal RAF Prevents Allergic Skin Disease
Researchers generated mice with compound epidermis-restricted BRAF/RAF1 ablation. In these animals, transient barrier defects and production of chemokines and Th2-type cytokines by keratinocytes cause a disease akin to human atopic dermatitis, characterized by IgE responses and local and systemic inflammation. [Elife] Full Article
FOXM1 Allows Human Keratinocytes to Bypass the Oncogene-Induced Differentiation Checkpoint in Response to Gain of MYC or Loss of p53
Researchers demonstrated that keratinocyte oncogene-induced differentiation is caused by mitosis control and provided new insight into the mechanisms driving malignant progression in squamous cancer. [Oncogene] Full Article
Synergistic Functions of E2F7 and E2F8 Are Critical to Suppress Stress-Induced Skin Cancer
Scientists showed that loss of E2F7/8 triggers apoptosis via induction of E2F1 in response to stress, indicating that the tumor-promoting effect of E2F7/8 inactivation can be partially compensated via E2F1-dependent apoptosis. [Oncogene] Full Article

Scientific Literature: Information Overload
Recent bibliometrics show that the number of published scientific papers has climbed by 8–9% each year over the past several decades. In the biomedical field alone, more than 1 million papers pour into the PubMed database each year — about two papers per minute. For researchers who are already overwhelmed by bench and field work, grant-writing, publishing and other time-eaters, trying to navigate the growing deluge of data has become a second job.

If you are a member of Beachbody OnDemand you probably know by now that Sagi Kalev released two new workouts from the Body Beast program. They are exclusive to Beachbody OnDemand. If you have done them already, you know they are killer and if you haven't done them already, you are in for a treat.
For this workout you are going to need a large variety of dumbbells and if you have one an EZ curl bar. If you don't have an EZ curl bar you can always modify and this workout does have a modifier. You will also need a bench and if you don't have one, I'm sure you can figure out how to improvise.
The workout is 45 minutes long.
Beast Up: Legs starts out with a thorough warm up. This is something I felt was lacking in the Hammer workouts but this has a five minute warm up.
Parallel Squats: Rep Counts: 12 – 10 – 8 – 6 -6 – 8 – You want to start off with a lighter weight then move to medium and on to heavy. For the 6 rep count you use a super heavy weight for both 6 counts and then go back down to heavy.
Split Squat w/ EZ Curl Bar: (Left then Right) – 7 reps for 7 sets with a 10 count hold at the bottom between sets. The hold is your rest. Complete all on left first and then move to the right. You may keep the same weight throughout. Make sure it isn't that heavy. This one sneaks up on you.
Superset: You do both moves before decreasing in the rep count.
Partial Sumo: Rep Counts: 12 – 10 – 8 (Partial because you do not come up all the way)
Bulgarian Split Squat: Rep Counts: 12 – 10 – 8
You want to start with lighter weight for the 12 reps – medium for the 10 and heavy for the 8 reps.
(end of superset)
Single Leg Deadlift: (Left then Right) – 7 reps for 7 sets with a 10 second hold at the top between sets. Complete all on left first and then move to the right. You may keep the same weight for all 7 sets. Oh yeah, this one is a motherchucker!
Glute Bridge with Calf Raise: 60 secs – 45 Secs – 30 Secs – Starting with lighter weight for the 60 seconds, medium for 45 seconds and heavy for 30 seconds. Sagi calls this a superset but the move is really one continuous move in my opinion. You just fluidly do a calf raise after each bridge.
There is a nice stretch at the end to get the nooks and crannies you just worked.
As you can see there aren't a lot of moves. You get a lot of rest periods not only between movements but also between sets – especially when moving up to the super heavy weight. I think the rest periods help the workout go by fast.
I give this workout 5 out of 5 stars because it really gets the job done.

A great way to keep yourself grounded and happy is to connect with the world around you. One of the best ways to do this is to adjust to the seasons. Being responsive to the promptings of the world around you will allow yourself to relax and escape from the stresses which so often consume us. So with that in mind, here are a few great ideas for ways to celebrate the summer season.
With summer comes heat, and one of the best ways to deal with heat is going swimming. This can take many forms. If you are not a confident swimmer, now is a great time to learn. Many communities have institutions or programs which allow adults to become more confident in the water. If you have children, teaching them swimming skills is a great investment. Not only will it boost their confidence and give them a chance to be active but can also help them to be safer around water.
Summer can also be a great time to get outdoors and experience some of what nature has to offer. However, do this with caution. When extreme temperatures arrive, hiking and exploring can quickly become dangerous if you are not prepared. Heatstroke, heat exhaustion, and dehydration can quickly become deadly. Make sure you have plenty of water and plan your hikes for times when the temperatures will be lower, such as in the evening. If you are confident and know the trail well, summer can be an amazing time for a night hike.
Another great thing about the summer is that children are typically not attending a school. While this can be somewhat of a headache for busy parents, don't neglect the opportunity to spend extra time with them and to go do things that they find exciting. Before you know it they will be gone. Now is the time to form strong bonds and teach them healthy living.
Because of the freedom and the weather, summer is perhaps the best time of year to spend more time outdoors. As holistic living practices can easily include all manner of outdoor activities, you should sit down and make a list of at least a few things you would like to do before this summer ends. Pick one, set a date, and start planning. Great memories are a thing that very few people regret.

» Patrimony and Guests
» The last week and a half has been heavy on things patrimonial. On 10 November our Florentine Madonna finally returned after a long period of restoration by eminent conservator Ruth Bubb. The restoration has lightened the painting immensely and revealed details previously unnoticed. It has returned to its home in the long cloister.
» This past week the new Short History and Guide of the Library was received from the printers. Written by Abbot Geoffrey and designed and produced by Fr Hugh, it will meet a growing demand for information about the Library and Archives, and their contents. It will soon be on sale for £5 in the Library.
» This past week 21 Benedictine senior educators stayed at Douai for a brief retreat led by Fr Gabriel of St Benet's, Oxford. The weekend before there was an oblates' retreat here led by Fr Gervase. This weekend we have a number of seminarians from Wonersh on retreat with us. All these activities reflect something of our traditional involvement in the life of the Church.

Today, the Apdex Alliance welcomes its latest sponsor. WatchMouse tests websites, services and applications utilizing an infrastructure that includes over 58 worldwide remote monitoring stations and a global network of checkpoints in 26 countries. The worldwide coverage is impressive as shown in the map below.
WatchMouse has implemented Apdex reporting in its tools. You can easily add Apdex reports to the many monitoring systems that WatchMouse supplies. But this is just one from a wide range of reporting tools available. They support many user platforms along with detailed test settings. I have been using the tool for a while and will be writing about how to use Apdex with WatchMouse in the future.
WatchMouse has also implemented a great Live Apdex Report widget that is running on the left of this website. We have been working with WatchMouse to make is simple and informative. I hope you agree. You can add the Apdex widget to track any service and make it part of your website (public or private). I am still experimenting with the widget. At the moment it is reporting on my two favorite websites (this one and NetForecast). But I think we should widen the scope of sites to track. Got any suggestions?
I recommend you try out their service which is available with a free 30-day trail.

Watch Idris Elba in 'Beasts of No Nation' Trailer (Video)
Netflix has released the intense first trailer for their original feature film, Beasts of No Nation. The film, directed by True Detective's Cary Fukunaga, stars Idris Elba as an African warlord and Abraham Attah as his child protege.
The official film synopsis reads:
BEASTS OF NO NATION is based on the highly acclaimed novel by Nigerian author Uzodinma Iweala, bringing to life the gripping tale of Agu, a child soldier torn from his family to fight in the civil war of an African country. Newcomer Attah gives a stunning portrayal of Agu, while Elba dominates the screen in the role of Commandant, a warlord who takes in Agu and instructs him in the ways of war.
The film will be released simultaneously in theaters and online through Netflix's subscription video on demand service. Considering it a violation of the traditional 90-day window of exclusivity to theatres, AMC Cinemas, Carmike Cinemas, Cinemark, and Regal Entertainment-four of the largest theatre chains in the United States, announced that they would boycott Beasts of No Nation-effectively downgrading it to a limited release at smaller and independent theatres.
Beasts of No Nation debuts on Netflix and in select theaters on October 16.

A native of the City of Mexico, b. 1562; d. 1604. At the age of sixteen he graduated at the University of Mexico as master of arts and soon after entered the Dominican Order. He held the chairs of philosophy and theology at Puebla and Mexico. He was successively definitor and procurator of the Mexican province of his order and was sent to Rome and Madrid as its representative. In 1601 he was made Bishop of Santo Domingo, where he died.
Dávila Padilla was not a prolific writer. He left, however, one very important, though unfortunately rare, work, the "Historia de la Fundacion y Discurso de la Provincia de Santiago de México" (Madrid, 1596; Brussels, 1625). Beristain mentions a third edition of 1634. While not free from mistakes, it still stands as the foremost chronicle of the Dominican Order and its missions in America up to the end of the sixteenth century.

My friend Paul Vahur has just announced the formation of the Mises Institute Estonia. As their introductory notes explains:
We are glad to announce about the creation of Mises Institute Estonia (in Estonian: Misese Instituut). The founders were 10 members of Mises Circle Tallinn which was created in 2009. Mises Institute Estonia is politically independent and funded only by private donations.The purpose of the Institute is to promote and advance in Estonia the theories of Austrian School of Economics and classical liberal and libertarian political theories. To achieve these goals, the Institute will regularly publish articles on its website Mises.ee, it will also hold conferences, educational courses and lectures. The Institute publishes books in Estonian popularizing economic science and libertarian political theory.
The Institue will be headed by Paul Vahur. The members of supervisory board are Risto Sverdlik, Urmas Järve and Paul Keres.
Mises Institute Estonia is named after Ludwig von Mises, a renowned Austrian economist whose biggest contribution was to explain the cause of economic crises and why state's economic intervention is doomed to failure. First Mises Institute was founded in 1982 in USA. Thanks to their great success many other Mises Institutes have been founded in recent years in other countries such as Poland, Brazil, Sweden and Canada.
It is heartening to see the growing ranks of counterparts to the US Mises Institute or others similar or related to or inspired by same, such as the Cobden Centre in the UK and others, to help spread the message of private property, individual liberty and Austrian economics.

Interview: Rodrigo TX Talks Adidas Skate Copa 2014
When the adidas Skate Copa Tour 2014 hit New York City we caught up with Rodrigo TX at the LES Skatepark to talk about the campaign, soccer, and his new shoe. Check out what the Brazilian skateboarder had to say.
Tell us a little about the Skate Copa campaign.
The Skate Copa is adidas' collaboration with all the riders' board sponsors. In my case, it was DGK. Adidas chose the riders who were fans of soccer as well as skateboarding. It's cool because we've got about five different nationalities represented in this collab. The first Skate Copa contest is a competition for skate shops with a team. They sign up for it, and then go against each other. There's about five stop in total. The winner of each stop gets to go to L.A. for the finals.
The world Cup should be a pretty big thing — especially with it being in your home country this year in Brazil. Did you grow up playing soccer first?
In Brazil, soccer is like skateboarding in California, or basketball in America. When you're a kid in Brazil, you go to school and everyone plays. That was my thing growing up before skating, and then I got into that when I turned 12. It really pulled me away from soccer. As I got older, and trying to find new hobbies, I got back into soccer.
How did you come across skateboarding?
When I was young — around 5 or 7 — my brother had a board. I only sat on it and pushed around. Years later, I moved into another building that always had skaters around it. That's how I really got into it. From the first time I did an ollie, I was hooked. I'm 30 now, and I've been addicted ever since. I definitely can't stop.
Getting back to Brazil, what's a comfort food or something you would bring with you from back home to remind you of the place you grew up?
That's hard. Can I choose two? [Laughs] I'd bring Feijoada though. It's a bean/pork plate that came from the Africans and then became a part of Brazilian culture. Every Wednesday and Saturday, all the restaurants cook it. If you can find it out here [in the States], it's very expensive.
New York is one of a kind for skateboarding. What's it like for you to come here and experience it?
I haven't been here that many times — maybe four in total. The first two times it was winter and it snowed. The third time I came was for three weeks with LRG, and I really love it. It reminds me of where I'm from, Sao Paulo. It's a big city with a mix of cultures. I love that there's so much life in the streets. Oh, and graffiti is everywhere! I really like it here. "Cidade Viva" — a city that has life.
Your video parts always have life to it, and usually have a dope song to accompany. What are you listening to right now?
The new Mobb Deep album that came out, The Infamous Mobb Deep, has been on loop every day. I'm also listening to Troy Ave. He's dope.
Walk us through the process with adidas when it came to releasing your new shoe.
This is a new shoe in the line, and they gave us the freedom to choose the colorway. The shoe is already done. I like to go through shoes that I like from the past, send it to the designer, they send back a bunch of options, and you pick the ones you like the most. I just wanted something clean. White is the new black, so I'm pretty hyped for this one.

In electronic systems that combine analog processing with logic gates, several parameters are essential to the overall behavior of the system. These parameters include the finite slew rate of circuit output signals, the propagation delay of signals, and the exact decision threshold of circuit inputs. Add blocks to your model to include these effects in time domain simulations of the system.
|Slew Rate
|Model amplitude, rise and fall times, and propagation delay of logic gates
|Logic Decision
|Threshold crossing detector at input to binary process
|Variable Pulse Delay
|Delay samples by controlled, continuously variable amount
