NY Bans Sale of E-Cigarettes to Minors
New York State has just put into place laws that officially ban the sale of electronic cigarette products to minors. It becomes effective January 1st, and is meant to continue measures to keep those under the age of 18 away from tobacco and related products.
Electronic cigarettes are not intended for minors to use, and they are most certainly not marketed as a "gateway" product. They are made for use by current smokers, not for nonsmokers and especially not impressionable youth. Legislators have been claiming that e-cigarettes are a threat to youngsters because they are available in a multitude of flavors, but this is simply not true. On any conscious, intelligent, mindful, and responsible company's website you are not eligible to purchase e-cigarette products if you are underage. It's just the way it is!
Most companies offer a variety of e-cigarette flavors to appeal to the many different people who are into using them. Cigarettes are not so commonly available in flavors other than tobacco and menthol, and I quite sure most teenage (underage) smokers are not seeking out candy and fruit flavors. They are smoking the generally available tobacco and menthols, and because it is illegal to sell tobacco products to minors, many teenage smokers take what they can get. Electronic cigarette users range in age from 18 through the elderly, and they enjoy using different flavors. Many find that having more flavor choices results in a more pleasant experience because they associate tobacco and menthol with traditional cigarettes.
These new laws are not a bad thing by any means. Electronic cigarettes are an invaluable alternative available to smokers, and they are not going anywhere. Legislation to control who purchases them, especially in terms of keeping them out of the hands and mouths of minors is a great thing. It adds further clout to the case of e-cigs as products meant for adults, and only available to adults! So, with that said, kudos to New York for being responsible!

In a 2017 essay reprinted in his new book Twilight of the American Century, Andrew Bacevich comments
Like it or not, the president of the United States embodies America itself. The individual inhabiting the White House has become the preeminent symbol of who we are and what we represent as a nation and a people. In a fundamental sense, he is us.
He discusses this observation and more in this new episode of Liberty Law Talk.

8th Virginia Captain Jonathan Clark was the oldest of ten siblings in a family that left a powerful impact on American history. No other family can claim a larger role in the history of the War for Independence, the conquest of the old frontier (the "Northwest Territory"), and the exploration of the post-Louisiana purchase frontier than the Clarks can.
Today, the most famous of them is William, who was twenty years younger than Jonathan. Each of them, however, contributed to the founding and expansion of the nation in his or her own way.
Jonathan (1750 – 1811) was the oldest. A Captain in the 8th Virginia, he was later promoted to major and then lieutenant colonel and held a post-war rank of major general in the Virginia militia. He was at the Brandywine, Germantown, Valley Forge, Monmouth, Paulus Hook, and the siege of Charleston--where he was taken prisoner. He lived his later years near Louisville, Kentucky.
George Rogers (1752 – 1818) was, during his life, the most famous sibling, known as the "Conqueror of the Northwest." He led successful western campaigns against the Shawnee, who were allied with the British. Control of that Northwest Territory (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and a bit of Minnesota) was no small matter. Following the French and Indian War, the British Crown considered this territory to be part of Quebec. This territory would likely be part of Canada today were it not for George.
Ann Rogers (1755 – 1822) married Owen Gwathmey, an early settler of Louisville.
John (1757 – ca 1784) was, at the age of 19, awarded a commission in the 8th Virginia as a 2nd Lieutenant in Robert Higgins' 1777 replacement company. He served only a short while. He was captured three weeks after his twentieth birthday at the Battle of Germantown. Held in terrible conditions aboard a prison ship, he eventually returned home half-dead with consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis). He continued to waste away until his death in 1783 or 1784.
Richard Henry (1760 – 1784) died alone while traveling on horseback from the falls of the Ohio (Louisville) to Vincennes or Kaskaskia (Illinois). He is presumed to have drowned.
Edmund (1762 – 1815) served in the 4th Virginia Regiment as a young sergeant. This was the regiment the 8th Virginia merged with (and took the number of) in 1778. He is believed to have been captured in the siege of Charleston, along with Jonathan.
Lucy (1765 – 1838) married 8th Virginia Captain William Croghan. The Croghans lived and prospered on their estate "Locust Grove" east of Louisville, Kentucky. Jonathan lived close by and George came to live with Lucy in his later years, struggling toward his eventual death with an amputated leg and the effects of a stroke.
Elizabeth (1768 – 1795) married Richard Clough Anderson, a well-regarded officer in the Virginia Line and surveyor of Kentucky military bounty lands.
William (1770 – 1838) explored the new frontier with Meriwether Lewis at the head of the Corps of Discovery from 1804 to 1806, co-leading the first overland journey all the way to the Pacific Ocean. He is now, by far, the most famous of the Clark siblings.
Frances Eleanor (1773 – 1825) married three times, the second time to Charles Mynn Thruston, Jr. Thruston's father had been the rector of Berkeley Parish (Berkeley County), Virginia, and a Colonel in the Continental Army. Berkeley County played an important role in the life of the 8th Virginia. The life of the elder Thruston holds strong parallels to the life of 8th Virginia Colonel Peter Muhlenberg—they were both "fighting parsons" from the frontier.
Jonathan and his wife Sarah Hite Clark lie in the center of six Clark family graves fronting a family monument at Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery. Flags adorn the graves of Jonathan, George, and Edmund, who fought in the Revolutionary War. Their famous younger brother, William, is buried in St. Louis, Missouri.

Boulder, CO City Guide
Today's Boulder, CO City Guide comes to us from Heather Hansman, a magazine editor and freelance writer who recently moved to southern California from Boulder. She misses trail running at Marshall Mesa and happy hour at The Med, but today she's sharing some of the best spots in this college town. Thanks, Heather, for showing us around Boulder! — Stephanie
Read the full post after the jump . . .
For a long time, Boulder got a bad rap as the patchouli-scented free-love enclave that spawned Crocs, but it's much more than that. The college town, endorphin mecca and tech hotbed is the kind of place where it's impossible to get bored, sit still or go hungry. It was ranked the foodiest city in the country by Bon Appetit in 2010; is home to scores of creative thinkers, thanks to the University of Colorado; and is situated at the base of some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Boulder has grown up and gotten classier, and its hippie roots have shaped it into one of the most progressive, sustainable and fun places in the country.
You can check out all the listings below on this Google Map.
The most beautiful building in town, the Boulder Dushanbe Tea House was built by hand in Boulder's sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, as a gift and reconstructed in downtown Boulder. Each panel of the wall and ceiling is unique and elaborately carved. Go for brunch to get a mix of Indian and American food, along with the best chai you'll ever have. It's also a great pre- or post-farmer's market option, because it's right next door.
Boulder has long been a hotbed of locally sourced, sustainable food, and the Kitchen is the pinnacle of that. The restaurant focuses on community, both by sourcing its ingredients locally and by hosting family-style dinners. They recently opened The Kitchen [Next Door], a more budget-friendly casual restaurant with a smaller menu, in the next store front over. Both places have excellent wine lists, and the beet burger at [Next Door] is a must.
Go to Spruce Confections, Boulder's local bakery, for Denver-roasted Kaladi Coffee and chocolate croissants. And cupcakes. They have two locations, one right downtown and one in North Boulder, and they're responsible for Two Spoons, a gelato shop on Pearl Street, too.
Show up at Lucille's for breakfast and expect not to be hungry for the rest of the day. The Creole restaurant is tucked into an old yellow Victorian on 14th street, and tables are packed into the rooms. Fill up on beignets, chicory coffee and shrimp and grits.
The high-end Black Cat Bistro gets much of its food from its own farm just outside of Boulder. The menu changes constantly to reflect what's in season, but it's always good. They also have a standout wine and cocktail list.
There's a lot of good Mexican food in Colorado, but in Boulder Efrain's is the place to go for blue corn enchiladas and almost-too-hot-to-handle green chile. It's a bit out of downtown, but while you're on the east side of town, you can visit the Avery Brewery, too.
Boulder's unofficial best restaurant, Frasca, serves award-winning northern Italian food in a beautiful but unfussy space on Pearl. Chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson often nabs accolades of his own, and the team behind Frasca has recently opened Frasca Caffe, a more casual pizza joint.
Bacon might be reaching the end of its trendiness as a dessert ingredient, but the maple bacon cupcakes at Upslope Brewing is mastering the canned beer game. Their tiny tap room serves up beers that you can't get anywhere else, so it's worth the venture north. If you're still craving beer, check out Boulder Brewery and Twisted Pine, or Oskar Blues in nearby Lyons.
Hidden in a strip mall off the bike path in east Boulder, Boulder Distillery makes small-batch 303 vodka and whiskey. They pour strong drinks in the tasting room, but it's worth going for the space itself. It's an eclectic mix of thrift store treasures, family heirlooms and delicate model airplanes made by the owner. You could find things to look at for days.
The best place to get cocktails downtown, The Bitter Bar fancies itself a speakeasy, but it's really just a bar that serves darn good, creative drinks. The cocktail menu changes seasonally, but they often have local booze in rotation, so look for CapRock Gin or Stranahan's Whiskey.
Part bookstore, part cozy coffee shop filled with professors, independently owned Trident is what every college town (and really every town) needs. Now if they would just start serving beer at night . . .
Two Sole Sisters is just what it sounds like: a boutique-y shoe store owned by sisters Laurel and Lindsey Tate, who moved to Boulder from Texas. Their selection is small but dialed, and they also have bags and jewelry.
Boulder is the land of physical freaks and adrenaline junkies (I often get passed by 80-year-olds when I'm jogging), and if you want to fit in or if you need new running shows, climbing pants or ski gear, Outdoor Divas is the place. A women-specific gear store with an all-star staff of ladies, they'll set you up for whatever sport you're looking to do, and they've got a selection of cute clothes, too.
If I were to imagine my dream kitchen, it might look something like Peppercorn, which has everything you could possibly want or need for cooking. Stop in to check out kitchen gadgets, knives and a huge selection of cookbooks.
Savvy skews a little toward the college crowd — there will be Uggs — but it also has a good selection of post-college-appropriate clothes and shoes.
Crafting in the plans for your trip? Stop by Gypsy Wools for supplies and inspiration.
If you haven't already made yourself sick eating your way through Boulder, head to Cured, a new meat and cheese shop on east Pearl. The local cheese selection is mind blowing, as are the wine offerings.
For journals and thank you notes, go to Two Hands Paperie. They letterpress in-house, and they also offer classes in letterpress and bookbinding.
Right on the corner of Pearl and Broadway, Weekends has everything from Fryes to party dresses. They have a really good selection of jeans, and it's probably the best place in town to get clothes for guys.
The only American outpost of the Japanese outdoor company, the MontBell store is the place for everything down, including really cute jackets. Because it gets cold in Colorado.
Boulder has managed to turn its hippie roots into an understated eco-friendly culture that pervades the whole town. Nowhere is that more obvious than Twig Salon. No one has to tell you that the products are paraben-free and that the wine they give you during your haircut is organic; it's just implied.
Every college town has a few good thrift stores, and Boulder's best is Goldmine Vintage. It's carefully curated, so it can sometimes be picked over and pricey, but the scores are usually worth it.
Violette is the place to go for pretty dresses and accompanying earrings. I've scored more outfits for weddings and events here than anywhere else in town.
Boulder is surrounded by a ring of open space, so the best thing to do in town is get outside. Rent a bike and go spin up the canyons to the west, or pedal the Boulder Creek Path. Hike up to Mallory Cave in the Mountain Parks, or go for a swim in the Boulder Reservoir.
The innocuous Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is tucked into a narrow building on 13th street, but it has interesting and frequently rotating exhibits and a big focus on local art.
Boulder is a yoga town, so there are tons of options for classes, from CorePower to mediation centers, all across town. It's hard to go wrong, but the Eldorado Mountain Ashram in a yurt just south of town is pretty special. They offer drop-in classes every day.
Chautauqua Park, which rises up into the Flatirons on the western side of town, serves two functions: It's Boulder's most accessible hiking and climbing (hit Royal Arch if you only have time for one hike), but it's also home to the Colorado Chautauqua Association, which brings speakers, musicians and other cultural events to the area. Check the schedule to see who they're bringing in; the summer is busiest. You can also stay in the cottages and eat in the dining hall.
There are a bunch of small music venues in Boulder, but the two big ones are the Fox, on the hill, and the Boulder Theater, on Pearl. Between the two, there's usually a good show to see almost every night.
The eTown radio show, a weekly concert where the hosts talk to the artists about sustainability, is a Boulder standby. It leans folky, but they get bands like Mumford & Sons and The Head and the Heart. It's taped in Boulder, at the eTown Hall or the Boulder Theater, and you can go. Tickets can be hard to get, especially for bigger-name bands, so check the schedule ahead of time.
The Boulder Farmer's Market is great for people watching and produce gathering. It's open Saturday mornings and Wednesday nights. Go for dinner on Wednesday; there's always live music, and a few of the local restaurants set up food carts.
Boulder is known for its startup culture, and that tech world spawned Ignite Boulder, a PechaKucha-style presentation series that happens every few months. Topics range from backyard chickens and graphs to freestyle rapping. The next one is February 21, and if you're in town, it's worth catching. It's a microcosm of Boulder's nerdiness and creativity.
Those ubiquitous Sleepytime Tea boxes that are in every grocery store come from Boulder, and they actually have an interesting story behind them. You can visit the Celestial Seasonings factory, just outside of town. It's worth it for the smell of the mint room alone.

The historic (and haunted) Hotel Boulderado is the classic place to stay in Boulder. The 100-year-old hotel is a national historic landmark. It's been updated, and it's super nice, but it still has some old quirks and charms.
The St Julien downtown is about as good as it gets. Everything is beautiful, but the spa and the Sunday brunch are particularly good. They also have free bike rentals, so you can explore town.
If you want to be a bit closer to the mountains in the summer, you can stay in one of the Chautauqua cabins, which can be rented by the day during the summer. Many of them are privately owned, so they're all a little different and funky.

If you are looking for a place to indulge yourself with fine fare and unwind in a relaxing ambience at the airport, Grappa's is exactly what you are looking for. With over two decades of experience in serving Hong Kong people high quality Italian cuisine, you know Grappa's won't let you down.
The dining space is stylish and welcoming with the added buzz of an open kitchen layout, making it an ideal place to enjoy a cup of cappuccino or other Italian culinary delights before boarding.
talian cuisine has long been a darling of vegetarians with its use of seasonal vegetables and fruits, and Grappa's does not disappoint on this count with its plethora of options for vegetarians. My favorite amongst the list of spuntini (Italian snacks) is the juicy Red Pepper Dew filled with feta cheese which is an ideal appetizer to kick off a meal, while the wonderfully fresh Grilled Artichokes and Eggplant had me wanting for more, but reluctantly I knew I had to leave space for the next round!
Grappa's pizzas and pastas are always delightful and mouth-watering, and worthy of particular note is my all-time favorite dish: Linguine al Pesto Genovese. Its delicious combination of the simple ingredients of fresh basil, garlic, olive oil and pine nuts all make a wonderful aromatic sauce for the health-conscious diners.
But the Smoked Scamorza Cheese with Grilled Vegetables should definitely not go unmentioned. For the uninitiated Scamorza is an Italian cow's milk cheese, similar to mozzarella but stronger in flavor and in this case tasting very much like smoked bacon. Of course, it tastes even better when washed down with a chilled white wine!
And if it's just a glass of your favorite tipple that you are after before you are up and away, Grappa's bar has a wide selection of wine and beverages, making it a great pick-me-up for the weary travelers.

Once Upon a Time Creation Custom Keepsakes
Client: Jen Anderson
Business Challenge:
Once Upon a Time Creation is a small company that creates keepsakes from treasured clothing. Their market is mostly local but they have a national web presence as well. Once Upon a Time hired us to create an informational video for them to share on their website and social media. They wanted something that was informative but not boring to watch. We wanted to show how beautiful the products they sold are but also communicate the one on one attention you receive when doing business with them.
Instead of just focusing on what the company sells we decided to walk potential clients through the creation process while telling the story of the company and showing their products along the way. We focused on the feelings and stories that are shared when you allow Once Upon a Time Creation to turn your treasured clothing into something that can be passed on from generation to generation. The video struck a chord with viewers and sales increased by 50% after the video was released. The video received over 1,700 views on their Facebook page which was a significant increase over the typical view count of 200 views for previous videos. The owner Jen Anderson says "I think the video helps people choose us to create their keepsakes because it gives them a glimpse of what their experience will be like."
"We chose to work with Something's Awry Productions to create Once Upon a Time Creation's promotional video because of their attention to detail (both in prep and execution), ability to tell a story, and ease to work with. Amy always came well-researched and prepared and was patient and helpful with our team for our first on-camera experience. We were so excited to share the finished product with our affiliates, clients, and prospects"

Speaking of the XRCOs, click on Asa for some photos from the awards:
- Spieglergirls were the big winners with Asa Akira, Jessie Andrews, Brooklyn Lee, and Bobbi Starr getting all of the major female performer awards.
- Cherie Deville was quite lovely as a trophy girl, but I didn't get to meet the other trophy girl, Allie James.
- Taylor Russo kept showing me her vagina. Of course, that made me wonder about what her twin's vagina looked like. Too bad Flickr censors vaginas.
- The crowd was smaller than last year's but they certainly stayed a lot longer. Even Tim Von Swine and his broken shoulder stayed for several Heinekens with me.
- I really like Vicky Vixen's boobs… and her vagina too. Again with the Flickr censorship thing.

'Labor Day' is too much work to watch
Plodding, implausible story of a family accepting captivity in their own home doesn't work
The multiplexes are awash these days with movies about home invasions, which usually end in violence, blood, dead bodies and vengeance, not necessarily in that order.
In that way, "Labor Day," the new adaptation of Joyce Maynard's novel, adapted for the screen and directed by Jason Reitman, sets itself apart from those horror-movie standards, though it is about a family kept hostage in their own home. It has virtually no blood or violence, though perhaps it should have, as it might have livened up the proceedings.
The movie, set just before the beginning of a new school year in 1987, is as plodding as it is implausible, the sort of film that begins as a slow burn, but never truly catches fire.
Tobey Maguire provides the narration, remembering events of a childhood long past. He is the adult version of Henry (Gattlin Griffith), who is a conscientious seventh-grader in a small New England town as the film opens. Henry lives with his mother, Adele (Kate Winslet), who has been left behind by her husband, Gerald (Clark Gregg), and is absolutely crippled by depression. She can barely leave the house, and when she does, she frequently stays in the car and has Henry run most of the necessary errands.
"Labor Day"
Rating: PG-13
When: Opens Friday
Where: Wide release
Running time: 1 hour, 51 minutes
On the first day of Labor Day weekend, however, the two are in a department store, where they're approached by Frank (Josh Brolin), a desperate, bleeding man. There is no violence involved, but he menaces them into their car and from there, into their home, where he explains that he's an escaped convict who will wait until his wound heals enough to hop a train. It's terrifying for Adele and Henry, but by the next morning, Frank is making breakfast, fixing things around the house, teaching the boy how to throw a baseball and eyeing Adele in a way she hasn't experienced in years.
It's nice to have a man around the house, it turns out, even if he was convicted of murder. Henry finally gets the father figure approval he so craves, Adele is reminded what it feels like to be desired and loved, and all three of them slowly start to see what it's like to be a part of an average family, albeit one that has to be constantly on the lookout in case a neighbor like Mr. Jervis (Reitman regular J.K. Simmons) stops by with a bag of peaches and a lecture about not opening the door when there's an escaped murderer on the loose. Of course, the moment he's gone, Frank takes those peaches and shows Adele and Henry how to bake a pie, a bonding moment that just brings the three of them closer together.
That may sound like a stretch, and that's because it is. Look, Winslet does broken as well, if not better, than anyone, and Brolin is still trading on that bruising charisma he discovered in "No Country For Old Men." The two of them, together, are damaged goods, and the house Henry shares with his mother becomes its own little island of misfit toys.
Brolin and Winslet gamely work to make you understand why they're able to put aside their pasts and cling to each other in the hopes of having a future, but the exposition and explanation for these behaviors comes far too late in the film, and in many ways, would be better left a mystery. Despite the turns these relationships take, the simple fact is that this man has kidnapped the two of them, and although Frank and Adele seem to regularly misremember the circumstances under which they're living, the audience never does.
Additionally, the movie's attempts to show Henry as nearing puberty, including his burgeoning romance with Eleanor (Brighid Fleming), the new girl in town, feels tacked on. But perhaps worst of all is that unlike Reitman's previous endeavors, "Labor Day" takes itself terribly seriously. Gone is the zip and the pep found in "Thank You for Smoking" and "Juno," and, more tragically, the hysterically funny sincerity that held center stage in "Up in the Air." "Labor Day" may be a labor of love of sorts, but it's also a labor just to get through it.

Letters to the Editor
Look to Paget Island
December 31, 2010
Dear Sir,
I read with interest the assumption that White's Island may be turned into a juvenile correction centre, and wish to remind the public of the excellent facility that once flourished on Paget Island. Many will remember the leadership of Tony Muirhead, who literally turned many young potential criminals into law abiding citizens. He was much loved, and with his gentle but firm touch reached out to many disturbed young people and literally turned their lives around.
Unfortunately, this facility closed when Tony retired years ago, but if someone of the same strong personality and commitment could be found to run the place again, why not make Paget Island once again a place for young offenders to go?
White's Island is not suitable for such a project as it is far too close to Hamilton, and it would be a shame to put an end to the sailing classes etc. which are so important to Bermudians as we are a sea faring country.
Since Paget Island was once such a huge success, and if such a project is being considered, I strongly suggest that Paget Island be considered as a serious alternative.
A bus driver's attitude
December 30, 2010
Dear Sir,
I believe the situation I encountered on public transport is absolutely disgusting. I attempted to board the #7 Dockyard to Hamilton bus today. I boarded and politely greeted the bus driver "Good afternoon, sir". Without greeting me the bus driver said: "Where is your pass." I responded: "Sorry sir, I don't have my pass." He said: "Well you cannot ride the bus." I responded by saying: "Can I pay?" He reiterated his past statement and stated "You can't ride."
I then just got off of the bus to avoid any confusion. I was very astounded and disappointed in the bus driver for not letting me ride the bus because I didn't have my pass, even though I offered to pay the fare.
Not to mention that I was at the bus stop across from the Boaz Island gas station so I had to wait approximately 20 minutes for a bus in the cold and wind. I am absolutely disgusted in the way the bus driver treated me, especially because he knew that I would have to wait 20 minutes in the cold for another bus. However in light of this situation I have learned that I must always carry my pass, especially on days in which there are not school because not all bus drivers are kind and have leniency.
Recognising gays and lesbians
To the Editor:
As Caricom citizens, we are proud that a majority of Caribbean nations stood up in the United Nations General Assembly on December 22 and voted together, in the words of the Rwanda delegation, to "recognise that … people (of different sexual orientation) continue to be the target of murder in many of our societies, and they are more at risk than many … other groups".
Antigua & Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada and St. Kitts-Nevis joined 85 other nations in voting to specifically mention sexual orientation, in a biennial UN resolution, as one ground of vulnerability for being murdered or executed unlawfully for who you are.
All but one of our Caribbean governments had opposed an effort in committee by a bloc of Arab, African and Islamic nations, several of which execute gays and lesbians or would like to, to remove the reference. We appreciate their responsiveness, with the notable exception of Trinidad & Tobago, to our reasoned appeals. We salute the foreign ministries of Belize and Jamaica who communicated with gay and lesbian voters about their December vote, a welcome measure of accountability and transparency in our foreign policy.
On the other hand, the St. Lucia delegation seems not to have listened to their Prime Minister's pledge in Parliament this April to "stand against stigma and discrimination in all its forms" and "guarantee non discrimination against persons on the basis of sexual orientation". St. Lucia stood apart from Caricom in voting no.
We in the Caribbean have lived largely free of the levels of violence experienced by postcolonial nations like Rwanda. But we continue to harbour a colonial mentality that some groups are more worthy than others; and homophobic killings are a reality in several places in the region. We hope that, without the need for atrocity to teach us this lesson, our governments will mature in their understanding that everyone has an essential right to equality and protection because they are human. The vote is a hopeful sign that in 2011 Caribbean governments may get serious about their commitments to these rights at home.

Dollars over family
December 30, 2010
Dear Sir,
I find it so upsetting to see that the New Year's Resolution Vote in The Royal Gazette is 37 percent towards persons wanting to "save more" compared to a mere seven percent for persons wanting to "spend more time with family". I guess this is why families in Bermuda are in such conflict with each other. You can't put a dollar amount on family.
Obstacle is party politics
December 31, 2010
Dear Sir,
Walton Brown ends his analysis on "A Pivotal Political Year" (Royal Gazette, December 29) with the comment that political parties are the vehicles for taking us along the quest for "democracy" and "our collective quest for 'the good life".
However, his analysis and even casual observation of the implementation of party politics in Bermuda, with their political hierarchy which in many ways demeans the majority of us, confirms my own conclusion that it is party politics which is the obstacle that stands in the way of our moving towards true "democracy". There are many ways in which it is the obstacle but let us begin with the most obvious. The PLP is proud of its achievement of "every vote of equal value". However the MPs for which we vote do not have equal value! They do not have equal responsibility, nor do they make equal contribution. They do not receive an equal salary, nor do they have equal status. Clearly the votes which put them in Parliament do not have equal value!
Mr Brown emphasises the importance of the "middle class" in order for a party to achieve power but it is not the "middle class" that has felt so excluded from the economy and so alienated that they have created a flourishing "alternative economy" which has resulted in the current violence.
In fact, despite Mr Brown's dismissive comments on the "banality of racial rhetoric" and his contention that the black middle class is not persuaded by it, the fact is that race, even if not the rhetoric, has determined not only that large "segments of the white voters" vote for the UBP but it determines the continuing economic disparity which existed in 1834 when the black slaves were (partially) emancipated and has been deliberately imposed since. Some in the black middle class do ignore the rhetoric because it makes them more acceptable to those whites in the community who have no intention of ignoring race. In fact the PLP itself has not only ignored the rhetoric but they have ignored the reality of race and the economic disparity which has continued from its inevitability in 1834 when whites owned it all and the newly emancipated black slaves owned nothing.
Mr Brown's emphasis on the importance of the middle class in achieving power underscores that the goal of achieving power is different from the democratic goal of achieving a more just society. The disadvantaged black working class and those on the margins of society are of equal value and as important in achieving a more just society as is the middle class. Since party politics are primarily concerned with power rather than justice, it is clearly an obstacle to democracy.
Despite the "banality of racial rhetoric" our political parties are sufficiently race-based that the PLP could remain in power indefinitely and therefore could continue to ignore the economic disparity and those blacks who continue to feel the impact of centuries of economic exclusion and exploitation and we could continue to experience the consequences in violence and gun play.
The tragedy for the black community is that we achieved public desegregation and the right for all to vote without party politics and we could undoubtedly have addressed the economic disparity but we chose party politics instead. The "party" became the focus for our political energy rather than justice for all the people which would have meant early attention to the economic disparity between the races.

Another Finance Minister
December 5, 2010
Dear Sir,
It is incredible, but scarcely surprising, that our new Premier and continuing Finance Minister has finally accepted that we are in a mess "due to circumstances beyond our control". Yet for the last two to three years, Government has been told that the world is heading for major financial problems at the very least recession and maybe depression. So what did Government under the bullying, self gratifying leadership of you-know-who, apparently supported by his Minister of Finance, do? At best, nothing except throw money at schemes that lined the pockets of expensive consultants (who could care less about the future of Bermuda) and politicians who seem to be similarly inclined.
It could take years to recover from this "mess" from which some of the pain could have been eased had the proper steps been taken. There were plenty of people telling Government what those steps should be. That said, the new Premier seems to be making efforts to lead us to recovery from the slough of despond into which our unlamented ex-Premier has led us politically, racially and financially. However, by retaining the Ministry of Finance she has kept control of the country's finances and, whilst the last thing of which she could be accused is corruption, she lays herself open to the abuse of the checks and balances that we so sorely need.
The Premier may be making the right noises but she should do more to encourage, at the very least, open Government, responsibility and accountability by separating the Finance Ministry from the Premiership. In Terry Lister she has someone who has the knowledge and ability to be Finance Minister - either give it to him or consider the alternative, suggested by others already, to appoint someone from the Opposition or, dare one say it, from the "Third Party" to use their undoubted financial expertise to run the financial affairs of the country. How about that for a beginning working towards "togetherness"?
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant.

Complete Idiot(s), Volume 2: Varejao and Pavlovic
October 1, 2007
I know lately I've been calling a lot of people names that aren't so polite, so instead of ditching my rudeness, I figured I'd just put a little title on it so I can refer back to previous Idiots. Everyone loves a good idiot. Anyways, word on the street is that Varejao and Pavlovic of the Cleveland Cavliers have yet to show up to Cavs training camp. To be quite honest, I think these guys are IDIOTS (bet you didn't see that one coming). Clearly the main problem here is money. I know these two think they're worth more than they're being offered, but I truly don't think either of the two are that great of players. I genuinely believe the Cavs will not be back in the Finals, let alone the East finals. Their title run last year was pretty fluky. I still can't believe they even got past the Pistons. The boys from Motown really melted down, and seemed a little unusual how they kept losing those games. Maybe a little Tim Donaghy style scam happened? Probably not. Back to the two clowns. Even as the Cavs made it to the Finals, Pavlovic was garbage! Both he and Larry Hughes were pretty useless, and it proved so in the actual Finals series again the Spurs. As for Varajao, he is one of those up tempo energy players, but that's about it. He's pretty physical, but all in all, not worth $10 milllion per season. He's a little full of himself for now, and needs a little kick in the ass. With his clone Joakim Noah in the league, Varejao will likely get overlooked this season, as he rightfully should! If Cleveland was smart, they would have used the money they were allotting to these guys, and searched for some more valuable talent and aggressively pursued it. Instead, they're stuck with two garbage players who think they're 1000% better than they actually are! Good work…idiots!

dans la marge n°11
collection dans la marge / cahier n°11
size : 22 x 17 cm
softcover, stapled
36 color pages
limited edition : 1000 copies
arts factory [ éditions ] - 2009
The Dans la marge project - published by the Arts Factory gallery - is a collection of school notebooks customized by contemporary artists featuring : Daniel Johnston, Isabelle Boinot, Julien Langendorff,

After his stay at the Fine Arts School of Angoulême, he discovered silkscreen at the turn of the 90's and learned on the job edition techniques. BlexBolex has then published many pieces of work with this printing technique – at the Dernier Cri Publishings and for CBO among others – before directing the Lucette and Louise collections at Cornélius.
In October 2006 "L'Oeil Privé" is released at the Requins Marteaux Publishings. Nominated at the Angoulême Festival, the book would meet a great welcome from the critics, allowing a wider audience to become familiar with his graphic world, one of the most singular in illustration and graphic novels.
In 2009, BlexBolex received for his album "L'imagier des gens" (Albin Michel Jeunesse) the coveted Worldwide Best Book Design Award, rewarding, in other words, the most beautiful book in the world ! This book would soon be followed by "Saisons" (Albin Michel) and "Fétiches"; a series of portraits, published in the "Dans la Marge" collection: An exercise half improvised in which each head is a collage set on a cut paper figure, re-drawn afterwards; a real game of intimate (de)construction in which BlexBolex unveils, as the pages turn, certain aspects of his creative process.
In 2012, three more important books are released : "Crime Chien" and "Hors-Zone" by Cornélius, soon followed by "L'arrière-pays" (Orbis Pictus Club) and a major retrospective of his work is produced by the Arts Factory gallery, celebratring 20 years of an amazing graphic production.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. – Henry Ford
We are by our nature curious! We see patterns, ask questions, and draw conclusions. Occasionally we ask more questions. If we don't get answers that make sense, we wonder. Not always for ourselves, for others too. We see things through their eyes. Often, we don't stop there. We go beyond wonder and take action. We take a few notes, make a sketch, and connect a few dots. I would argue, we are all designers provided we work at it; else we risk becoming a group of passive consumers. We must care about design because the world does not need faster horses.
Future ready
I never let my schooling get in the way of my education. – Mark Twain
We can no longer accurately predict the future. Social media strategist, blogger, data miner, drone pilot, who knew these would be jobs? 1 We are creating artificial intelligence (AI) that does the amazing, drives, writes, and grades. We replace TVs, phones, and computers, not fix. Cars run for ten+ years. The future looks good. Yet, if we eliminate more jobs then we create, what will we all do? This is why we need our curiosity, interesting questions, and our ability to care; it defines our "humanness" if you will. We need to focus our educational efforts on our uniquely human qualities, which cannot be duplicated; else what job is next.
Creativity & innovation
Repetition is the death of magic. –Bill Watterson
Self-driving cars, stores where you don't line up,2 and AI that writes poetry3 all seem wildly creative and innovative. Yet, so many products are poorly designed or lack empathy. We wait in too many lines. And standardized tests still define our future. We are in an age of transition. We struggle with how to teach creativity and define innovation. The top ten grossing films in each year of the first decade of the millennium, seventy-four of the one hundred were sequels, adaptations of an earlier work, or based on comic book/video games.4 Going forward, we need to be comfortable with the dynamic nature of terms like original, inventive, fresh, surprising, risk, better, and useful. Algorithms/AI cannot yet solve complex problems, build social collateral, or be empathetic. Remember when we used to play in the sandbox? We build stuff, worked with others, and sought feedback from parents. Teamwork can be infectious, if we let it. The future needs creativity and innovation and people who question authority. Let's get back in the sandbox and keep magic alive.
What can we do?
Every great design begins with an even better story. – Lorinda Mamo
Don't wait! Curiosity, wonder, the design cycle, these are not top down movements. It is not going to come from admin, the school board, or even parents. We are all creative provided we give ourselves the permission. Celebrate good design when we see it. Call out bad design, but be prepared to ask questions, to step up, and offer insights and solutions based on research. Critics only and passive consumers need not apply. Stop just reading and discussing what defines creativity, innovation, and design and take responsibility for our future! Go create a story to own. There no shame in failing, so why not do it with a little style?

text: Very few people know or understand that we are powered by an energy field that permeate every cell of our body and mind. Individuals are daily exposed to two forces. The first is a positive and productive force that enhances the quality of our lives. We are also exposed to negative and destructive forces that parasite on our energy resources. These negative polluting forces have absolutely nothing to do with the evil satanic entities that are bounced around by the religiously inclined. You might be surprised to learn that partners, teams, families, corporations and even nations have a collective energy field. I have been blessed at birth to detect not only the levels of the psychic energy in a person, but also in a cluster (team etc. as indicated above) of individuals. Most individuals do the best they can under their given circumstances. They often work extremely hard, but more often than not never really achieve their desired outcomes. It is only after I point out the sources that sabotage them that happiness, success and growth returns to them. Every person that you have in your game of life and every person that you come across in the street have an invisible force that surround them. This energy field is either predominantly negatively or positively charged. Your energy field should be strong and your first line of defence. It can be compared to your immune system in your body. It must repel or defeat negative attempts to suck you dry in an attempt to recharge their own energy resources. I am sure you know at least one person that drain you and leave you depleted almost every time you have the displeasure to run into them. That is the reason why it is so important when you select a partner or a person to work for your company. A person with a well disguised parasitic tendency can infect and finally destroy its hoist. They walk, talk and smile and make the right noises while they subliminally like a deadly bacteria infect everyone that they come in contact with. I could write a book on the tragic wreckage that they often leave behind them when they finally like a parasite move to their next donor. Please note that what I describe in this post have nothing to do with psychology or religion. It is a field that very few understand. I still consult on a person to person basis with individuals that want to disinfect their energy field. I also consult with corporations and often prevent parasites to be appointed in their staff or management structures. I still have person to person and remote national and international consultations with individuals or corporations. I saved countless individuals years or meaningless effort and frustration. I prevented corporations to invest in products, ventures and projects that would have crippled them. Look around you for a couple of days and you might notice some of the stuff that I mentioned in this post.

From: "Greg Groninger" <email@example.com>
Date: February 5, 2015 at 11:15:16 AM EST
To: <email@example.com>
Subject: The Appeals Court Opinion Has Arrived
So we can all be clear, the case we are talking about here is Groninger et al v. MI. Dept. of Environmental (DEQ). The DEQ is just like the kid in the schoolyard who likes to start fights knowing Big Brother (Attorney General Bill Schuette and his office) will step in and protect Little Brother (DEQ). Bill Schuette's office will tell you – by statute – it is his job to defend lawsuits against state agencies. What?? Attorney General Bill Schuette seems to not understand that his FIRST DUTY is to the Constitution of the United States (the supreme law of the land) and the Michigan Constitution. Constitutions are written to protect the rights of the minority from the majority.
To sum up the opinion, the court denied us a jury trial or any trial for that matter. I would say the opinion also shows the State trustees to be constitutionally and morally bankrupt.
Attached to this e-mail is a copy of the opinion and I have highlighted only five points, of the many points, that could be commented on in this six-page opinion. To make this easy, start on page four. However, before you start reading, let me say this: Do not be confused or intimidated by all the case citation used in this opinion. Many of these citations can be summed-up by one citation used in a case where the fed's sued the State, U.S. ON BEHALF OF SAGINAW TRIBE v. STATE OF MICHIGAN 106 F.3d 130 (1997). "The defendants (State) follow the familiar model of contemporary legal argument by taking out of context a snippet of language from a Supreme Court opinion and manipulating it to reach a chosen result. They seize on language from…" Yes, the Attorney General's office is good at doing this and the court seems to have bought right in.
Comments on points numbered in the opinion. Please see opinion, then read comment below.
Point #1: When did the Constitution stop being the supreme law of the land? Article VI, § 1, Cl. 2 "This Constitution, … shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby,…" The State feels "However, the clause is not absolute, but "must be accommodated to the inherent police power of the State to safeguard the vital interests of its people." Sounds like we are being told we live in a police state and the Constitution is not relevant. To see where they think they get their police power authority, see point #4
Point #2: It is clear the State does not understand – or wants to twist the meaning of – FEE SIMPLE. Black's Law Dictionary (2nd, Edition, pg. 487) Fee Simple- "Absolute is an estate, which is limited absolutely to a man and his heirs and assigns forever, without any limitation or condition." Seems to me when the DEQ wants to come on to my property and determine IF I can or cannot build a driveway this would be a "limitation or condition".
Consider Black's Law Dictionary (2nd, Edition, pg. 955) what is property. – Property, "Rightful dominion over external objects; ownership; the unrestricted and exclusive right to a thing; the right to dispose of the substance of a thing in every legal way, to possess it, to use it, and to exclude everyone else from interfering with it."
Black's Law Dictionary (2nd, Edition pg. 694) "LAND, in the most general sense, comprehends any ground, soil, or earth whatsoever; as meadows, pastures, woods, moors, waters, marshes, furzes and heath. The word "land" includes not only the soil, but everything attached to it, whether attached by the course of' nature, as, trees, herbage, and water, or by the hand of man as buildings and fences."
Point #3 This statement by the courts is very telling as to how they feel about private property. "Additionally, plaintiffs Groninger have not shown any reduction in the value of their property because defendant may enter the land to inspect whether it is wetland nor have they shown that any failure to issue a permit would reduce the value of their property. Even if they did, "[a] reduction in the value of the regulated property is insufficient, standing alone, to establish a compensable regulatory taking." The State Trustees are saying to us, we can take it if we want it and the Constitution cannot stop us.
Point #4: The Attorney General Bill Schuette is claiming the Michigan Constitution Art. IV § 52 gives the state police power over private property.
Art. IV § 52 states the following: "The conservation and development of the natural resources of the state (society of men) are hereby declared to be of paramount public concern in the interest of the health, safety and general welfare of the people. The legislature shall provide for the protection of the air, water and other natural resources of the state from pollution, impairment and destruction." (added by gdg) STATE, n. Black's Law Dictionary (2nd, Edition pg. 1105) "A body politic, or society of men, …"OF, Webster's Dictionary 1828: "From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing."
Does this sound like the state trustees were given any police powers over your private property or just the property owned by all of us, the Michigan society of men? Will they next say they have the police power to come and develop your land?
The State is a society of men, not a land mass. This means the boundary of Michigan is the defining line of who can be a member of the society of men we call the State of Michigan.
Point #5 "Plaintiffs make a number of other arguments, which fail principally because defendant is a state regulator empowered by a state statute." Seems they did not have any comments about the IX Amendment "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It is very apparent; if it is not clearly called out in the Constitution, it belongs to the people undiminished.
Folks, it is up to us, the society of men, to stop this unconstitutional taking of your private property. All these folks (Attorney General, Judges, Governor, State Legislators…) who work for us, took an Oath before we allowed them to work for us. We must hold them to their Oath's; it is our duty to our children and grandchildren. What you are seeing is one of the most powerful tools the state uses to move the agenda of Agenda 21 forward in our great State.
What can you do? Call, write or do both the Michigan Attorney General and let him know how you feel. His contact information is below. If you do not know, what Agenda 21 is then please looking into it.
Samuel Adams, who famously uttered,
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in the minds of men."

This weekend in the wild world of sports…November 21, 2009
12:00 pm Michigan vs. Ohio St.—Yes, this game does not have the hype surrounding it as it once had, but it is still once of college's greatest rivalry's and if Rich Rodriguez is to stay in Ann Arbor he knows what he has to do today: Not only win, but win convincingly.
1:00 pm Knicks vs. Nets—Hey, somebody's gotta win. Knicks and Nets don't deserve high fives…
7:00 pm Panthers vs. Rangers- Rangers had a tough week of practice. Henrik Lundqvist and Gaborik can not do it by themselves. The Rangers will need help from Kotalik, Del Zotto, and the Captain Chris Drury who returns after suffering a concussion on November 7th. Dubinsky will be out, so someone is going to have to help Gaborik out offensively otherwise the Rangers could start sliding quick.
7:30 pm – Cal vs. Stanford- Stanford over the last two weeks have put up ridiculous offensive numbers against USC and Oregon, two of the best teams in the conference. With a win against 25th ranked Cal and losses by Oregon, Oregon St, and Arizona in the remaining games can give the Cardinals a Rose bowl birth. Gotta root for the geeks, sorry folks.
8:00 pm- Islanders vs. Blues- I'm not watching it, but its on T.V. and this is T.O.N.Y. We don't discriminate. We showcase crappy NY teams as well.
8:00 pm- Oregon vs Arizona- This may be the ABC game if it isn't Texas vs. Kansas and I hope it is because these two teams deserve it. After it's opening season loss and after game activities, Oregon has bounced back and have only lost one other game making them 8-2 overall and 6-1 in the Pac 10. If Arizona (6-3, 4-2) can win all of their last three games, they will play in the Rose bowl. Arizona as we all know is a basketball school first, but their football program this year deserves one night on national television. Coach Stoops was quoted as saying, "There's a lot of football to be played, but pretty much it'll be over if we don't win on Saturday.".
11:00 pm—UFC 106- Ortiz vs Griffin 11- What a rematch this will be after Griffin was robbed by decision against Ortiz three years ago. Ortiz has gone Hollywood and hasn't seen action for about a year and a half so it will be interesting to see if he still has it. Griffin is coming off back to back losses against Evans and Silva, so expect Griffin to come out and try to destroy Ortiz. These guys beat the crap out of each other in their last fight, and after that weak decision, I do not expect anything else. Punches will be thrown, people will get bloody, and someone's face will hit the mat of the octagon. ONLY ON PPV! On the undercard, if you want to see a real man fight, make sure you tune in before the main event for Anthony Johnson. He fought a month ago, but since he beat that dude's ass in about 14 seconds he is ready to fight again. Josh Koscheck can fight, but Anthony Johnson is a force that will be a champion very soon once he gets a shot. Koscheck will be just another step as he tries to attain that goal.
Sunday Footballlllllll!!! 1 pm Falcons at Giants (Giants -6.5)–honestly, if the Giants are to turn it around this season, it starts tomorrow. After a loss to Green Bay, the Cowboys have allowed the division to stay up for grabs. The Boy's play an interesting game against Washington that they can lose outright, so Giants need to win. Antonio Pierce will not play due to a neck injury, but Michael Turner will probably also miss tomorrow's game. Advantage, Giants.
4:15—Jets vs. Pats (Jets +10.5)—Lets get it! No need to say anything. Brady decapitation. Kill Kill Kill!

It joins two other projects on Hillary that have been announced recently: a theatrical film called Rodham about Hillary's days as a young lawyer on the Nixon House impeachment committee and a four-hour mini-series on Hillary starring Diane Lane that will appear on NBC. Politico reported that the sudden pile-on to produce Hillary projects even prompted a source close to Clinton to accuse CNN of focusing on Hillary to simply turn a fast buck. "I don't know if I'm appalled or impressed," the source told Politico. "Either way, they have some explaining to do on how they're going to manage the conflict between news standards and the profit imperative. I'm not sure they know."
Many people aren't sure if the makers of the Hillary projects know the many minefields they will have to cross.
What caught my eye when NBC announced its mini-series last Saturday was that it would only be covering Hillary's life from the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998 onwards. So Lane, who is eye-stoppingly beautiful at 48 years old, will only be portraying Hillary from the age of 50 to her current age of 66 and later. It didn't make any sense till I realized that airbrushing the first half-century of the former First Lady's life away meant the pro-Hillary filmmakers wouldn't have to deal with the messy collection of scandals she was involved in during her husband's first term, from Whitewater to Travelgate to FBI Filegate to controversies over what a federal judge called a "cover-up" of her health-care task force's records.
Bob Greenblatt, the head of NBC Entertainment, is promising his mini-series will be "even-handed" in covering Hillary, telling reporters: "I don't think she will endorse it."
But he certainly doesn't want to talk more about how he will ensure that. He didn't respond to my request for an interview, just as he declined to talk with me back in 2003 when he was director of entertainment at Showtime, the pay cable network.
Back then, the controversy I wanted to talk with him about was his decision to have Showtime air The Reagans, a TV movie on Ronald and Nancy Reagan's life originally bought by CBS. The New York Timesobtained a copy of the script and pointed out several scenes the Times called "historically questionable." Ronald Reagan was depicted more or less acknowledging he was an informer for the Hollywood blacklist during the McCarthy era. Another showed Nancy Reagan begging her husband to help AIDS patients only to be told, "They that live in sin shall die in sin." Lou Cannon, Reagan's most prolific biographer and no right-winger, scoffed at the film saying the blacklisting charge was "really wrong" and that "Reagan was not intolerant."
The backlash promoted Barbra Streisand — whose husband, James Brolin, played Reagan in the film — to claim the ensuing controversy had been whipped up by the Drudge Report and Republicans who couldn't stomach the exposure of "the more unpleasant truths about his character and presidency."
But CBS couldn't defend the film against charges it was pure, nasty fiction. CBS president Les Moonves maintained the rough cut he saw wasn't the version the network had promised viewers. "We thought it had a very specific point of view that we thought was contrary to what we planned to air." He told Daily Variety that his decision not to use it "was a moral decision, not an economic or a political one." He dumped the film in the lap of CBS-owned Showtime, where Greenblatt agreed to air it.
Greenblatt held firm against requests he edit the "historically questionable" parts of the film, whose plot line can be summarized as "President Fuddy Duddy Dominated by Mommie Dearest." His one concession was to take out the mean-spirited AIDS line attributed to Reagan. "That is the one political give that we agreed to," Greenblatt told the Boston Globe. He also arranged for a panel discussion to follow the film that featured both Lou Cannon and AIDS activist Hilary Rosen.
The Reagans garnered mediocre ratings, failing to break the top 40 cable shows the week it aired. But at least at 180 minutes it covered all of Reagan's life from young actor to his dotage. At the same 180 minutes, NBC's mini-series on Hillary will cover just 15 years of her tumultuous life.
I have no doubt that NBC's Hillary epic will do far better than The Reagans. Let's just hope that Greenblatt sticks to his commitment that the film will be "even-handed." The last time he green-lighted a film on a controversial political subject he fell well short of that mark.

Disney has little to do with publishing decisions, outside the Lucasfilm Star Wars titles overseen by Lucasfilm Story Group.
All these bad decisions fall to the feet of Perlmutter and Loeb, who after getting pushed out of marvel Studios, ended up steering all Disney run flagship characters into the rocks. It's not a coincidence they were tone deaf to the core readers bailing, it's what they wanted.
You want to blame some people, blame Alonso, Buckley, Loeb, and Perlmutter for making the most identifiable IP characters Marvel got, into unrecognizable hack jobs done by frat boys trying to appear PC.

Amish Cinnamon Friendship Bread (with starter!!)
- Complexity: easy
Delicious Amish Cinnamon Friendship bread with starter recipe. This is what friendship is truly about, sharing coffee and bread with friends!
Step by Step Directions
For the Starter: To prepare the starter batch, mix yeast with 1/2 cup hot water until yeast is dissolved. Add 1 1/2 cup hot water, 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix until blended. Use whisk if needed. You now have enough batter for 4 portions.
In three Ziploc freezer bags, add 1 cup of batter to each bag. These can be given away or used immediately.
In your bowl will be a remaining one cup of batter. You can use this immediately following the directions below.
For the Bread: Okay, with your 1 cup of batter, add remaining ingredients (except the last two). Mix. Will be slightly lumpy, that's okay.
In two loaf pans, grease generously. I like to grease my pans, lay parchment paper on just the bottom of the pan, then grease again! After greasing the pan, sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mix.
Divide batter between two pans then generously top each battered pan with remaining cinnamon sugar mix. This is what provides a nice crunchy cinnamon layer on the bread, very important!
Bake in a 325-degree oven for about one hour.
Cool about ten minutes in pan, then remove to cooling racks. Delicious served hot or cold (with butter of course)! Enjoy.

Kurt was a very wealthy businessman, with a very shady past.
Biography Edit
Kurt once encountered the Seventh Doctor during a Sontaran invasion of a human occupied world.
The Doctor was there fomenting rebellion against the humans, and then promptly switched his focus to the Sontarans upon their invasion. Kurt was a smuggler who ended up in a cell with "the infamous rebel general Smith". (PROSE: Shakedown)
Kurt was part of Lisa Deranne's Tiger Moth crew. He and Deranne were the only two to survive when Sontarans boarded their solar-yacht searching for a Rutan agent, and he resolved to hire a new crew and re-enter the solar-yacht races. Prior to this event, he claimed to have met a "dentist" who had a perchant for screwdrivers and who told him about Sontarans and their weakness. He was shot by Steg after all the Sontarans on board except him had been killed, mostly by the Rutan agent. (HOMEVID: Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans)

Should this not be Rahnius (Slitheen), or perhaps Rahnius (Raxacoricofallapatorian)? I see no need for a conjectural title.
Talk about it here.
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.
In 2009, a member of the Slitheen family posed as Ambassador Rahnius of the Galactic Alliance, using his skin as a skin suit. He teleported into Sarah Jane's attic to reward her for saving the Earth so many times. He gave her and her gang deeley boppers as gifts, but his farts soon gave him away. K9 came out and tried to stop him but he was disabled. Rahnius revealed to Sarah Jane that his plan was to capture K9, gain his knowledge and "crunch the credit of the cosmos". Sarah Jane channelled an energy reversal beam through her sonic lipstick and stuck him to the floor. He was then sent back to where he had came from by Mr Smith or "maybe a bit further". (TV: From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love)
