Nothing says summer quite like berry-stained hands and faces, dirt-covered feet and the mouth-watering aroma of sun-ripened, farm-fresh fruit. With its temperate climate, rich soil and abundant rainfall, the hillsides and valleys of the greater Seattle area are freckled with farms featuring you-pick produce that will delight even the most discriminating fruit connoisseur. From longtime favorite Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm in Bellevue to picturesque Graysmarsh Farms in Sequim, there's a farm for berry pickers of all ages – and opportunities to meet farm animals, enjoy historical sites and even visit a children's amusement park. Whether you're craving blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or tayberries – or you're looking to adorn your home with the aroma of fresh lavender – there's a you-pick farm for city slickers and country lovers alike.

What began as a small family farm in rural Carnation, Washington has since grown into a not-to-miss Pacific Northwest destination that has helped put this tiny town on the map. Remlinger Farms' 200 acres are filled with you-pick strawberries, blueberries and raspberries; a market with fresh-farm produce; a petting zoo; and an amusement park for children. Remlinger Farms provides containers for berry pickers at its fields and berries are weighed when you're done picking and then sold by the pound. The farm only uses natural fertilizers and also provides recipe packets and canning supplies to help berry pickers enjoy the fruit year-round.

Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm and nearby Mercer Slough Blueberry Farm are located conveniently in Bellevue, Washington and they have been operated by the Bellevue Parks Department for more than seven decades. The farm sits near the confluence of several freeways, but it's a quiet piece of country amid the nearby whir of city life. And once you're in the fields, you'll never realize just how close you are to the city. The Lake Hills Farm Fresh Produce Stand provides picking buckets and fruit pickers can enjoy a piece of history too – the trails winding through the Lake Hills Greenbelt have an historic log cabin and historical markers dotted throughout the farm. After you've picked your fill of blueberries, the Lake Hills Fresh Farm Produce Stand features other farm-fresh produce.

Take the entire family on a trolley ride down a long, winding dirt road that opens into lush fields with 20 acres of strawberries – and meet some friendly farm animals, too! Biringer Farm has provided juicy, farm-fresh strawberries to Washington State for more than 60 years. Visitors can pick strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and tayberries and pick up ready-to-eat slicers – containers of sugared, sliced strawberries – for immediate use or freezing. Biringer Farms is now affiliated with the Red Rooster Route, an association of Arlington-area agriculturalists that provides fresh produce and heritage activities.
42930 S.E. 92nd St.
North Bend, WA 98045
(425) 888-5745
Bybee Farms, established in 1946, comprises 42 acres in the foothills of Mt. Si approximately two miles from North Bend, Washington. The farm has six varieties of you-pick blueberries, including Jersey, Dixi, Pemberton and Stanley, all first planted in 1946; and Blue Crop and Blue Ray, first planted in 1983. Each variety features its own distinct flavor profile, color hue and aroma, from the high-flavored Blue Rays and Stanleys to the dessert-quality Blue Crop and Dixi. Get closer to nature as you enrich your dinner table: there's abundant wildlife nearby and you might even have a mountain goat sighting as you pick your fruits and vegetables. The farm provides both picking buckets and take-home flats to fill to your heart's – and stomach's – desire.

Sequim, WA 98382

You'll first be met by the intoxicating aroma of lavender, and then you'll see field upon field of the lush plant, in varying hues of purples and blues. At Graysmarch Farm, which is located near the water in picturesque Sequim, you can pick strawberries, loganberries, raspberries, boysenberries, blackberries, blueberries and even luscious lavender. Graysmarch grows lavender in several varieties, including Grosso (French and deep purple in color), Otto Quast (Spanish), Provence, Royal Purple, Royal Velvet, White Spike and Hidcote. Visitors can also pick up jars of Graysmarsh Berry Preserves, which are available in lavender-flavored raspberry, raspberry, wild blackberry, loganberry and strawberry.

Best of
the Twin Cities
Strict city ordinances in Minneapolis and St. Paul leave flesh customers with a choice: A topless bar that serves liquor? Or an all-nude outlet that won't serve anything stronger than Red Bull? At King of Diamonds, located just 20 minutes south of St. Paul, you don't have to pick between liquor and lewdness. And they've got great deals. (On the liquor part.) Perhaps you're a little uneasy about spending money on man's baser urges. Keep in mind that this gentleman's club is owned by a gentlewoman, Debra Kalsbeck, who took over King of Diamonds in 2011.

Talking Heads Without A Voice
"Hanna Pitkin (1967) provides, perhaps, one of the most straightforward definitions: to represent is simply to "make present again." On this definition, political representation is the activity of making citizens' voices, opinions, and perspectives "present" in the public policy making processes." taken from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (2006)
I awoke today to the morning news as I do most days. Between the weather, daily reports of shootings and silly human tricks that make up the morning news the commercials for political candidates fill my waking moments. Over the years, I have started paying more attention to who represents my interest in the political arena. Most of the time, I get drawn to one candidate or another but in the world between sleep and wakefulness, I realized that nobody is representing my interest.
With all the pointing the fingers and sensationalism that is presented to sway the votes of people, who for the most part will vote their party anyway, there is no real message. It is a series of who voted this way or who stole this money. I have to admit that some of them are pretty humorous in their obvious distraction to their own agenda. Overall the substance is as solid as steam.
There was a time, I am not sure if it was just folklore or reality, from our history books that portrayed politicians as the representatives of the common man. Farmers, shop owners and small business men dominated the political world. People with the ideas and conviction to convince their fellow citizens that they were going to represent their beliefs were the ones that served. In this day and age, this sees more of a myth than a history lesson.
Why is it that we spend our time complaining about the way government is ran, yet we don't make a conscious effort to do anything about it? The choice is not simple. It involves educating ourselves on the choices we make when voting or to even vote at all. I have to admit, I am not the most avid pollster when it comes to election time. Recently, I have found out how my lack of involvement in local government is impacting my family, but that is a story for another time. However, it brings me to the point I am trying to convey. We are people who have the freedom and rights to vote for those representing us. Many have died for this right and many are still dying for the rights that we have. Until, we as citizens, pay more attention to what is happening in the world around us instead of spending our time watching the television and complaining, will forever be cattle that is led to the slaughter by someone else that is benefiting from the meat.
Just try for a moment to look past the flashy television ads, lawn posters and political parties. Seek out the real issues and beliefs that matter to you and your family. Educate yourself on our government, the world and the policies that are being initiated. Learn about how each decision a business makes impacts your life. Dig for the answers to question. Even better, understand the questions and stop being cattle. If you choose to be ignorant in what is happening around you, then you choose to not complain about it. You are not a victim, you are a participant in what is happening.
Until next time…

My biggest PR gaffe? Surely none, I thought. Turns out there have been several, from the whole pitch team whipping out our carefully concealed pants at the end of a presentation with "dirty knickers" printed on them in front of a bemused audience (it was to do with our ideas being scary – it seemed right at the time), to combining shaving and art and coming up with the unfortunate term 'Shart' for a shaving brand. Neither pitch was won…
My worst moment was in Jersey. We were pitching for the tourist board during a very busy period for the agency. In what is decidedly worst practice, three of us found ourselves on a light aircraft headed to the island, reading through the document that had been prepared for us for the first time. The bulk of our ideas seemed to centre on the "famous battlefields of World War Two".
The ideas were inappropriate, given Jersey's history. We quickly tried to rewrite our ideas in the taxi on the way to the meeting, by interrogating the driver about the best hidden gems of the island. The best we got was a snail farm, which we waxed lyrical about to a panel of bemused business leaders.
The moral of the story? Research, join up, rehearse and know what you're talking about. And snails are never really going to get people to visit Jersey.

I discovered yoga after the birth of my first son in 1996. I practiced Hatha and Iyengar Yoga until 1998, when I went to my first Ashtanga Yoga workshop. It was 'love at first sweat', and since then I has been committed to daily practice.
I was a direct student of the late Ashtanga Yoga guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and continue to study with his grandson, R. Sharath Jois, having made regular trips to Mysore, India, since 2001.
I have also studied with Manju Jois (son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois), Greg and Tracy Cooper (Ashtanga Yoga School of Melbourne), David Williams, Mark Robberds, Matthew Sweeney, Simon Borg-Olivier, Peter Scott, and have frequented the schools of Eileen Hall (Sydney) and Iain Clarke (Brisbane).
I began teaching at the Yoga Space in Townsville in 2000, and now teach weekly classes on Magnetic Island. I feel that the strong physical practice of Ashtanga Yoga has the potential to open the heart and calm the mind, enhancing self-awareness and overall wellbeing. Even though it is a dynamic practice, it can be made accessible to many levels of physical ability, so that as many people as possible may benefit from this practice.
Call Meredith on 0401 937 574
or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Meredith Starck began practicing yoga 40 years ago. In the mid 1980's she undertook three years of intensive Synergy yoga/dance training in Washington, DC. Her teaching and continued training has evolved into a practice of Scaravelli Yoga through her ongoing work with master teachers Diane Long and Paddy McGrath.
She currently teaches a flowing style of Vinyasa Yoga in natural settings in Townsville and on Magnetic Island. This natural union of inner exploration and expressive movement, is a realm where rhythms and harmony meet. This is the movement of energy and is the focus of our quest for balance and health. A class starts with slow rhythmical circular movement stimulating the energy pathways of the chakra system and progresses into stronger more flowing dance movements.
Her abiding passion is for women and girls to honour their bodies through breath and movement. As a mother of two daughters and carer for her own invalid mother, Meredith has personally found yoga as an essential element for leading a holistic life.

Having started my Yoga journey in 1996, I relocated to Cairns the following year where I practised under the tutorage of the then Iyengar senior certificate holder Nicky Knoff. In 2001 in Byron Bay, I enrolled in The 9 month Yoga Arts Teacher Training Course, where I studied and practised Iyengar and Ashtanga Yoga, the training included extensive study in pranyama, yoga philosophy and anatomy.
Upon completion I moved to Townsville and taught at The North Queensland School of Yoga. In 2003 I traveled to India where I deepened my practise in asana and pranayama through teaching and studying. The next 2 years were spent working in a home for destitute children in the village of Tapovan outside Rishikesh. Here I practised Karma and Bhakti Yoga, while teaching asana to the children.
During the past 9 years I've spent a total of four years in India increasing my knowledge of yoga and have continuously returned to India to teach and study. In between trips I reside on the beautiful Magnetic Island where I conduct regular classes.

My yoga journey began primarily with a focus on the physical. Soon after I began noticing positive changes in my mental and emotional states, a more energized body and clearer mind as a direct effect of the practice and I naturally wanted to go deeper and share this gift with others.
I am very grateful to have studied with a number of highly skilled teachers from unique backgrounds including Jivamukti, Vinyassa, Yin and Yoga Therapy of which I incorporate components of each into my teaching. Studying Yoga Therapy has humbled me into the realisation and acknowledgement that no two bodies are the same, the individualistic approach to yoga made so much sense.
I am sensitive to the needs of the individual and meet people where they are at in their own life's journey. By challenging my students to surrender, to become more aware of each moment, each movement, each emotion, each breath I assist in providing techniques and experiences that students can take with them off the mat into every aspect of their lives.
I believe that by trusting in your own capabilities and bodies intelligence, through yoga, anything is possible.

Classes are based on the "hatha yoga" principle, toward balancing energy within the body; and are suitable for beginner to intermediate students.

My experience in Indonesia has been a lot to drink in. Emotionally, I'm both encouraged by the deep faith of people who live in poverty, trusting God to meet their needs, and wrecked by the reality that their living conditions are so terrible.
As I visited the Filadelfia Children's Center in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, I heard an 11-year-old boy who sang for our group. He sang in English. I didn't know the song but near the end, he kept singing, "Jesus loves me" over and over again. He sobbed as he sang because He was so overwhelmed by the love that God had shown him in Christ. The reality of what had been done for him on the Cross was overwhelming to him. He cried…and I cried.
You can also view this Wally Show video on YouTube.
These beautiful children living in extreme poverty are being shown love that they never dreamed could be true for them. Their faith in desperate circumstances is so much greater than mine. But, those children have taught me too. I left a part of my heart in Indonesia, for sure.

The Advantages Of Various Medication For Asthma
Most people take into account various medication as a practice separate from conventional drugs, with its use of drugs and surgical procedure.

Right this moment, what we know of as complementary and alternative medication (CAM) has roots going back 5,000 years to Chinese language (conventional Chinese language medicine), Indian (Ayurvedic medication) and related healing traditions. Typically, the term different remedy " refers to any well being remedy not commonplace in Western medical practice.
Cancer sufferers have unrealistic views of the worth of complementary remedy, Yu's workforce wrote. Consequently, the dangers of infertility as well as ovarian and endometrial most cancers abound and these have prompted many ladies to seek an alternate drugs for endometriosis and its painful symptoms.
It is hard to say for positive whether or not complementary and alternative therapies would give you the results you want, as everybody responds differently to the remedies. Opposite to standard perception, alternative medicine has a historical past longer than typical medication.

(click on the menu above to access other pages on this website.)
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, August 12, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Until the shelter-in-place and similar rules go away, we're using WebEx to have on-line meetings. If you would like to participate in this call, please email Fran at email@example.com. She will confirm your RSVP and send instructions on how to log on.
We're using WebEx rather than Zoom because the latter has time limitations. If you've not used WebEx before, it's a lot like Zoom: it is easy to use and if your computer has a camera you can even be seen. If you don't have a microphone or access to a computer, you can call in by phone.
Who are we?
Our group is a drop-in group, requiring no reservations or fees. (We are non-profit and in fact lack a budget.) It's aimed to assist parents, relatives, guardians, spouses, siblings, parole & probation officers, and caregivers to help our loved ones to be "high functioning" in society despite having some or many of the symptoms which define Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), as defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (Fifth Edition). Earlier editions of that book defined these symptoms as part of "Asperger Syndrome" (AS). Despite the change in terminology, we continue to use the term AS, mostly as a matter of convenience.
Despite our focus, the group is open to anyone interested in Asperger Syndrome or related issues (including all Autism Spectrum Disorders). The "children" are of ages from 2 to above 60. AS is a lifetime issue, though it need not be a disability, especially since "special" problems are so often associated with special abilities.
Our Meetings.
Who (the Speakers): the group as a whole, hopefully not all at once.
In general, most people want to talk about their own issues instead of listen to guest speakers. So Fran and I decided not to have speakers unless popular demand prevails to change this.
What (the Topic): whatever people want to discuss.
When: Wednesday, August 12, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. See the instructions in the summary at the top of this page.
We meet on the second Wednesday of each month, come rain or shine, snow or sleet, hail or oobleck. In case I forget to up-date this page (again?!?), our meetings in 2020 will be September 9, October 14, November 11, and December 9. [It looks to me that oobleck has already hit: Dr. Seuss predicted the coronavirus. 😉 ]
Where: the Community in the Outpatient Counseling Center
There are three Community Rooms: we meet in the one on the Eastern arm of the OCC. This building was formerly known as the "Julia Ann Singer/Reiss Davis" and the "Mark Taper Building." It is westward across the grass from the old Julia Ann Singer Center (now the Baron School) all the way inside the Vista del Mar campus (almost to Edith Ave., but the gate there is almost always locked): if you're at the front door of the old place where we used to meet (the Baron school), turn 180 degrees and look for glass big doors near a basketball hoop and the Barbecue to find our current meeting place.
Making matters confusing, the old building where we met for many years still has the words "Julia Ann Singer" above the front door. But there is a free-standing sign in front of the main entrance to our new building that says "Outpatient Counseling Center." Unfortunately, it is only visible from the South. Despite all of the name changes, we're still meeting in the same place as during the last few years.
The Vista del Mar campus is at 3200 Motor Ave. (Los Angeles, 90064) between National and Pico, 1/2 block North of the Santa Monica (10) Freeway underpass.

November 7th, 2018 • Aerio Staff
All authors need a comprehensive sales and marketing plan; even traditionally published authors assume some, if not most, of the responsibility for marketing and promoting their books. But to fully build an all-inclusive marketing strategy, you need to first create a unique author brand.
Your author biography is made up of your personality, interests, skills, and accomplishments (published books and other content). When you combine your biography with your mission statement (think author taglines) and social media presence, you create your author brand. Your brand identity helps build trust in your work, attracts new readers, builds your fan base, and ultimately leads people to buy your books.
Your brand identity is a major part of what makes your buyers (in this case, readers) have trust in your work and your books. When people get to know your author name and have an interest in who you are, they'll be much more likely to take an interest in what you do and what you say; perhaps even enough interest to make them want to buy your books!
In other words, your author brand helps sell your books, and that's why it's so important for you to create one.
For example, the websites for Benjamin Black and John Banville depict author branding examples for two distinct voices and genres that are, in fact, the same author. Literary writer John Banville uses the pen name Benjamin Black for his murder mysteries. His mystery books are so distinct from his literary novels he even writes them in completely different locations!
The takeaway here is that in most cases, it's best to use your real name for your author blog, website, and brand identity.
Find a way to convert your 400 Tumblr followers to your Instagram account (or YouTube channel) that has 4,000 - 40,000 followers. Take advantage of data analytics and Amazon algorithms to help you find your readership, price your book, and sell more books.
1. Find and establish your brand voice. Do you write in a specific genre? Determine how you want to be known and what sets you apart. An important, distinct part of your brand voice is visual:
Color Scheme
Logo or Imprint
Professional Headshot
Use the same voice, including visuals, for your website, business cards, book covers, communications, and other marketing materials.
2. Write a mission statement. What conveys your message and purpose? Write down a few sentences and read other author taglines. Then boil it down even further. What one sentence conveys the message you want to send?
3. Build an author website that will be the base of your author platform. Include your bio, mission statement, blog posts, links for readers to buy your book, and contact information.
4. Develop a social media presence and build your author platform. Your public presence across all social media sites (your visibility) is your author platform. Use Amazon algorithms and other data analytics to determine which social media sites are the most effective for you.
The best author platforms aren't spread across every site; spend your time steering your small audiences to your most effective social media sites. Use your platform to establish relationships with your readers.
5. Create a social media kit that contains a concise packet of information about you and your work. Make sure it is freely available to journalists and others both digitally and physically. Be sure to include your:
Author bio
Contact information
List of books
Links to reviews, book trailers and all your social media sites
Book launch & book sales information
6. Generate additional content. Maintain your blog, conduct email surveys, hold contests, start an email newsletter, and consider SEO content as you write and communicate.
Build a content funnel that starts with your social media presence. Reach across your author platform and other appropriate social media sites, and engage with readers who read your books as well as the work of other authors in your genre. The next level of your content funnel is your blog, as people will go there to find you.
The deepest level of your content funnel is where established and potential fans have access to premium content only available behind a paywall or submission form. It may include discounts, writing not available anywhere else, extra chapters or even a place where subscribers can read a book for free for a limited time.
7. Maintain your online presence. Once you've established a voice, built an author website (or have one built for you if you're not technically savvy), and begun to engage with readers and book buyers, don't stop! Your author brand needs to stay "alive" if you want to keep selling books.
Keep up your relationships with all kinds of "book people" including readers, writers, influencers, industry professionals, and others related to your field. You can do this by publishing quality content on your blog, reaching out via your most effective means of communication, linking to content across your platform, and simply being available.
The bottom line is: Your author brand will help you sell books! Your brand identity is how readers see you apart from your books, and helps build relationships with book buyers, booksellers, book reviewers, and others. When people trust your brand, they want to buy your books.
Build your author brand from the ground up. Be concise and consistent, and keep it up. (A stale blog is a stale author brand so keep yours fresh!) Coupling your established brand identity with continuous, high-quality, interesting content greatly increases your online discoverability, and that's how people find - and buy - your books.

Former President Bill Clinton has always
been generous to us with regard to samples for analysis. Here, he continues. As to our question, only you can answer for yourself. Regardless of your analysis, it is likely that 50% will be pleased; and 50% will object; some will be happy, and some will be not. You will be accused by some, of being partial. Others, due to personal persuasion, will dismiss analysis. Although based upon commenting, readership is more female than male, the overwhelming number of comments regarding Amanda Knox, for example, are male. Of these, few are happy with the analysis.
Yet, this is the struggle of analysis for some, and leaves them with an uncomfortable pressure:
The same analysis that proved Casey Anthony is lying, which they heartily agreed with, seeing both the means and the end; is the same analysis that proves their personal favorite killer to be also lying.
What to do?
But, at least it is with politics that no matter what your personal viewpoint or party affiliation, your politicians will provide you with lots of rich sample of which to analyze.
I promise.
Bill Clinton wants more credit
Bill Clinton thinks he deserves more credit for reforming welfare and balancing the budget.
"I go crazy every time I read the conventional wisdom," he said Friday night at his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark. "So part of the Republican narrative is that I was saved from myself by the election of the Republican Congress [in 1994] that forced me to do welfare reform and 'made the balanced budget possible.'"
One of the more difficult aspects of analysis is learning where a subject has entered into the language of another; and where the subject speaks for himself. This is most often seen when a husband or wife enters into the language of the spouse. Here, the subject calls it "the" conventional wisdom, rather than "a" or without an article. This is an indication that the topic (conventional wisdom) has already been introduced. Here the analyst must seek to know if these are embedded admissions of what took place, although it may not be intentional by the subject, or if he is quoting someone else. Note that he credits "the" conventional wisdom with these statements, rather than specifying anyone in particular. This should cause the analyst to work from the premise that there may be an embedded admission within the subject's words.Continue Reading
Clinton said reporters and commentators "keep saying this, overlooking all relevant facts." We recognize that not all quotes are present; but exerts from a long speech. Here, he identifies, perhaps, the identity of "the" conventional wisdom: "reporters and commentators"; yet no one individual is quoted. We are looking to see if the language is the subject's, or another's.
The 42nd president said Arkansas had been a test case for reform during his governorship. At the federal level, he said 43 states received federal waivers to implement welfare reform before the GOP-controlled House passed the final bill.
"And yet I kept reading how this was 'a Republican idea,' just because President Reagan had a good story about a welfare queen and a Cadillac who didn't exist," Clinton said.
Note that a sentence which begins with "And yet" is likely missing information. He now says that this was something he "kept reading" (not "read") which suggests sensitivity of the action (as it was ongoing). Note that he says "President Reagan had a good story" follows the noted "because" (which tells us why; not what). He asserts that "a" welfare queen with a Cadillac did not exist"; not "the welfare queen" which would specify a particular "welfare queen". This should cause the analyst to question if the subject is making up this "story" that he attributes to another. Those who have studied liars know that when someone is able to shake his finger at the camera, (President Clinton, baseball players before Congress) and boldly lie, are not going to be reliable at any time in their lives. Each statement must be viewed for veracity within itself, but the subject, himself, is a liar, something learned early in childhood and practiced, reflectively, for a lifetime unless a crisis experience takes place in which the subject seeks change through understanding.
The subject may be telling the truth, but alertness should always be present.
The feisty comments came during 20 minutes of unscripted remarks that immediately followed a one-hour panel discussion commemorating the 20th anniversary of Clinton announcing his run for president in front of the nearby state house. They showcased a Clinton determined to present himself as a transformational figure.
Six senior aides from the 1992 campaign had waxed nostalgic, praising their old boss for revitalizing the Democratic Party and changing the way campaigns are run.
When Clinton took the microphone, he riffed on the importance of offering voters a compelling story line.
"I'm telling you this to point out that we need a coherent narrative," he said. "The No. 1 rule of effective politics, especially if the people you're running against have a simple narrative — that government is always the problem, there is no such thing as a good tax or a bad tax cut, there's no such thing as a good program or a bad program cut, no such thing as a good regulation or a bad deregulation — if you're going to fight that, your counter has to be rooted in the lives of other people."
This should be considered personal and sensitive to the subject. Note the comparison of "coherent" narrative to "simple" narrative as a change of language. A change of language should represent a change in perceived reality.
"Other" people are noted.
"Other" people are noted.
His speech included an attack on the tea party governing philosophy.
"We need to understand that one of the things that tends to tilt things toward the Republicans' anti-government narrative is our country was born out of a suspicion of government," Clinton said. "King George's government was not accountable to us. That's what the Boston tea party was about. When the tea party started out, at least they were against unaccountable behavior from top to bottom. Then it morphed into something different. If you want to go against that grain, you've got to tell people you understand it's a privilege and a responsibility to spend their tax money, but there's some things we have to do together. And that's what the purpose of government is, to do the things that we have to do together that we can't do on our own."
"If we can make that choice credible," he added, "then our candidates — starting with the president — and our principles will be fine."
Among friends and longtime supporters, the 65-year-old looked at ease and spoke lovingly about the aides and Arkansans who helped him get to the White House two decades ago.
"We were looking at total meltdown about a week before New Hampshire," Clinton recalled, praising James Carville for the way he handled the blow-up over the Vietnam letter.Continue Reading
"He likes to act crazy because it helps him get speaking gigs," Clinton joked. "He figures if he goes around acting like he needs a rabies shot that more and more people will want to see him."
Clinton said commentators struggled to deal with him when he stepped onto the national stage because he did not fit easily into one easily defined category.
On the issue of race, he bragged about having the highest percentage of African-Americans on his professional staff of any state attorney general in America in the late 1970s.
Panelist Vernon Jordan, the civil rights icon who chaired Clinton's presidential transition in 1992, heaped on praise.
"The party was lost at sea," Jordan said. "And Bill Clinton came in 1991, and he was to the Democratic Party what Rosa Parks was to the civil rights movement. … He was to the Democratic Party what Martin Luther King became to the movement. It was change. It was different. It was fresh. It was young. It was also experience. He'd been governor a long time. It was renaissance time in the Democratic party, and a lot of the older Democrats had to be brought around."
In any statement, note the names and note the order in which the names appear to show priority for the subject.
Al From, the founder of the Democratic Leadership Council, marveled at Clinton's ability to give the same charter school speech to two different groups with opposite interests and get them to see him as on the right side of the issue.
Frank Greer, media consultant to the 1992 Clinton campaign, said it took someone from the South to bridge the gap between working whites and African-Americans.
"He understood it because he had lived it," he said. "It was growing up in the South."
Former Little Rock Mayor Lottie Shackleford, deputy campaign manager in 1992, talked about how Clinton was a party outsider who did not initially attract many movers and shakers.
"It was true grass roots," she said.
Carville talked about the innovations in the 1992 Clinton campaign. Every campaign has a war room now. The "it's the economy, stupid" mantra has long become cliché. The candidate bus tour that seemed somewhat novel when Clinton did it is now standard practice for national candidates.
"The campaign was not just a different way," Carville said, "but it was sort of a cultural transformation in American politics."

Another from Stanley Clisby Arthur's "Famous New Orleans Drinks and how to mix 'em". This is a Manhattan variation that I thought might be too sweet but is actually quite balanced. He stresses the use of rye over bourbon here.
Says Arthur of the variation "Naturally the formula has been improved upon in New Orleans; you'll note we always improve upon things to eat and drink in this New Orleans."
I won't argue there...

I thought I would do that stitchery update now.
This is Rosemary. One of the store cats at the Mystery Bookstore. All cats seem to love sleeping on stitching supplies.
This is a sofa blanket I'm making with 'I Love This Yarn' brand yarn in the color Surprise Stripe 804. I love it. This yarn has the most perfect name ever. It is great to work with. It is a Hobby Lobby exclusive yarn. It doesn't fray or unravel like other yarns if you have to keep ripping it out and restarting. If you don't have a Hobby Lobby near you so you can get this yarn then I feel very sad for you.
I could have been farther along. You would think that just outlining with the double running stitch would go more quickly. But it is a bit boring, to tell the truth. This is usually my complaint when working with one color only. There is also the issue of getting each stitch to lay right. I'm actually using three strands and sometimes it wants to twist or it just refuses to lay nicely and I have to make several attempts on a troublesome stitch. The outline would have been done if I hadn't also suddenly wanted to work on pumpkins.
I love projects with pumpkins and Halloween themes. I fell in love with this one even if it is more Harvest than Halloween. This is Elegant Pumpkins on a lovely green evenweave. I've forgotten the exact type of fabric. The color, Golden Olive, is very heavy on golden. It is supposed to be heavy on the olive if the magazine photo is any indication.
This is what the finished version should look like. The photo from my camera loaded onto this computer seems to be true to the image I see in the magazine. But since colors don't show up the same on all computers, readers may see something different. All I know is that the pumpkin I'm stitching is the rather green looking one to the front right of the picture. What I'm stitching looks very orangey gold rather than golden olive. The primary color is normally the second word in a color description and the first word is the direction the primary color seems to be tinted towards.
Like I said. I love Pumpkins, Jack'O'Lanterns, and Halloween stuff. As you can see by my chubby little shoulder here, I love them so much I have one inked onto my skin.

The sooner Cavani learns Neymar's the boss the better
If Edinson Cavani needs any insight into the consequences of crossing Neymar at penalty kicks then he just needs to pick up the phone and call Dorival Junior.
He was the Santos manager who, in September 2010, ordered the-then 18-year-old sensation to step away from a spot-kick he'd just won himself against Atletico Goianiense in a Brazilian top flight match.
Neymar 14/1 to be CL top scorer

A few weeks earlier, in the Copa do Brasil final, Neymar had bought a penalty and was given the opportunity to convert it. He hit an embarrassingly inadequate Panenka straight at the Vitoria goalkeeper Lee.
Not too much lasting damage was done as Santos won the cup anyway, with young Neymar among the scorers in the final. Nonetheless, when Neymar won his penalty against Atletico, he attempted to smuggle the ball to the spot and take it for himself.
Dorival intervened and insisted a senior figure in the shape of Marcel take it instead. Neymar unleashed a volley of abuse towards his manager on the bench and towards his captain Edu Dracena, who was attempting to calm him down.
Marcel scored but Neymar wasn't celebrating, even though it sealed a 4-2 win for the home side at the Vila Belmiro.
He sulked, throwing his water bottle towards the bench as the kick was being despatched and turning his back on the manager. He spent the last few minutes playing the spoilt brat act, half-heartedly dribbling towards the Goianiense ranks and putting little-to-no effort in when he was inevitably dispossessed.
Opposition manager Rene Simoes remarked afterwards that he had hardly ever seen anybody as rude as Neymar in his entire life. "It is time someone educated him or we will create a monster," he warned.
Dorival attempted some tough love for the player, who, even at that point, was widely expected to become one of Brazil's all-time greats. A heavy fine was levied and the manager barred Neymar from the line-up for a fortnight.
A two-week suspension, however, would have meant the prodigy missing the Clasico against Corinthians, so club president Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Riberio intervened.
The club sided with the brattish Neymar in the dispute and Dorival was unceremoniously sacked for daring to tame him. The monster had been very much unleashed.
Neymar learned then that his talent could excuse any amount of petulant behaviour and garner indulgence from those at clubs who relied upon him for results and income.
He's 25 now, infinitely richer and far more powerful. The Paris Saint-Germain that he's joined will be designed going forward to cater to his every whim and fancy.
The dressing room is stacked with national team allies, the absence of which hindered his control of the Barcelona ranks.
Check out Neymar's Instagram page and you'll see plenty of images of him alongside Thiago Silva, Lucas Moura, Marquinhos and Dani Alves.
Indeed, it was the new signing from Juventus who helped steal the ball away from Cavani for the Neymar free-kick over the weekend, the first incident in the game against Lyon which eventually led to this Parisian civil strife.
Lionel Messi was boss at Barca but there is no doubt who is boss in Parc des Princes.
Ici c'est Neymar.
He is being paid more money than not only his team-mates but every other player in the game.
PSG have not brought in Neymar to fill a slot in the team. He has been summoned to transform the club from Champions League also-rans and international irrelevance to the most important club in the world.
One of the key reasons he left was to step out of Messi's shadow. Barca is Messi's team and will always be Messi's team until he retires. This though is Neymar's team. This is his opportunity to be the centre piece, to dictate the team's attacking play, to be the number one guy.
Surely Cavani cannot be oblivious to this? If PSG were content to settle for the results, Cavani could bring them as the centre piece of their attack, then they would never have called for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the first place.
With Cavani front and centre, the PSG without superstars managed second place in the one-horse race that is Ligue 1 and were eliminated in the most humiliating fashion by Neymar and Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Cavani was second fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic for three long seasons, being shunted to the wing and largely doing the Swede's dog-work. If he is to have a future at PSG, then he will need to revert to that kind of deputy role and do so quickly.
And if that means Neymar takes the penalties, then Neymar takes the penalties. Either way, coach Unai Emery has to make a clear stance.
"The manager has to decide," Simoes told Goal this week. "If he decided it was Cavani, then Neymar is to blame. If he chose Neymar, Cavani is to blame. And if he did not chose, he is to blame for what happened."
There is no doubt that the conflict knocked Cavani's confidence in the game against Lyon, causing him to miss, but the easy way to avoid any future disputes is to give up the fight.
Cavani will never command the same kind of respect and attention as Neymar, even if he is PSG's third top scorer in history. Mario Balotelli expressed a popular sentiment in the week when he suggested that a player like Neymar shouldn't even need to ask to take penalties for PSG. It should be a given.
"I believe someone promised him that he could be the best in the world [with PSG]," Simoes said. "And the best in the world do as Cristiano Ronaldo does; from the corner kicks to the headers, penalties, free-kicks, everything.
"The same happens with Messi. I believe they promised him that he would be responsible for everything."
PSG have abandoned all reasonable team-building methods in order to best satisfy Neymar. They need to stick with it if that's the path they've chosen. For it to work, he needs to be assured of that status. He has not come to Ligue 1 to watch Cavani insist on taking the penalties.
Brazilian football may well have created the monster but through the PSG money and their insistence on putting Neymar on a pedestal they have fed and enlarged it.
The sooner Cavani learns you don't cross the boss, the better.

Things You'll Need
- Standard HDMI cable
- PS3 component cable
Maximize your PlayStation 3 (PS3) experience by plugging it into a high-definition television (HDTV). Connect the PS3 to an HDTV using either an HDMI or component cable. After properly connecting the cables the PS3 automatically configures its video options to take full advantage of your HDTV's maximum resolution. Hooking the PS3 up to an HDTV requires a few simple cables and a few minutes of your time.
Turn off the PS3.
Plug the HDMI cable into the PS3's HDMI out plug-in or connect your component cable's output into the PS3's "AV Multi Out" plug-in. Both outputs are positioned on the rear of the PS3. You can use any HDMI cable for the PS3, but you must use a PS3-specific component cable. Depending on your purchased PS3 bundle, the system may or may not come with either an HDMI or component cable.
Plug the HDMI cable into an available HDMI input on the HDTV. If you are using a component cable, insert the five color-coded component input on the HDTV. Depending on your HDTV, HDMI and component inputs are typically located on the back or the sides of the HDTV.
Turn on the TV if it is not on already and press the "Input" or similar button to view the HDMI or component that corresponds with where you plugged the PS3 into the HDTV.
Turn on the PS3. If you are using a component cable the console automatically configures the video settings. If you are using an HDMI cable proceed to Step 6.
Choose "Yes" twice to allow the console to optimize the video and audio settings to adjust to the HDMI cable.
Plugging your PS3 into an HDTV using an HDMI cable will produce the highest video and audio quality. Some HDTVs, however, do not have HDMI inputs. See your HDTV owner's guide for available inputs.
All HDTVs have component inputs, which still output the PS3s picture in HD, but at a slightly lower quality than if an HDMI cable were used.

Goodman A Christmas Carol: Simply Wow!
Phyllis Dreazen | 11/25/2014, 1:17 p.m.
I was the newbie, probably the only adult in Goodman's Albert Theatre who had never seen Dicken's A Christmas Carol. Perhaps the only one of any age: from their laughter and excitement, it seemed that most of the kids as well as their parents knew the story, the characters, what to expect and where the laughs were.
In this production, director Henry Wishcamper combines new magic–explosions, stars and glitter, flying angels and more–with familiar moments in a magical, WOW! making production. Nearly four generations of children have been introduced to live theater via Tom Creamer's adaptation of Dicken's beloved tale. More than 1.2 million attendees have been charmed and somewhat transformed with Scrooge as one Christmas Eve night when he changes from the meanest, most miserly man in London to the nicest, most loving and most generous.
Lavish costumes, inventive sets and wonderful, creative lighting provide the backdrop for Larry Yando (Ebenezer Scrooge) and an all-Chicago, thoroughly-integrated, totally terrific cast (Goodman Theatre of Chicago is recognized nationally as one of the pioneers of color-blind casting).
All manner of delights, from the tech-delicious flying Ghost of Christmas Past (Patrick Andrews) to the simple love of the Cratchit family, fill the two-act, one-intermission show. Tiny Tim's timeless blessing to all, "God bless us, everyone", sends the audience home in the happiest of moods.
A Christman Carol, which runs through December 28, is dedicated to Robert Christen (1949-2014), the Resident Lighting Designer who was the only artist to work on all previous 36 productions. Some tickets are as low as $10.

Are well-funded, industry-disrupting market entrants in the sharing economy engaging in unlawful predatory pricing? Some have raised concerns that popular ride sharing services and other similar startups have created a dangerous probability of a monopoly by implementing business models that are designed to gain market-share by initially operating at a loss. These companies have raised enormous amounts of capital to fund their expansion and customer acquisition strategies. If the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) considered such behavior to constitute predatory pricing, it could have large enormous implications for start-ups going forward, in the sharing economy and many other industries. However, recent comments by FTC officials imply that the Commission is not yet ready to disrupt these markets with enforcement actions on predatory pricing theories.
At the Fordham Competition Law Institute's Antitrust Economics Workshop on September 13, 2017, D. Bruce Hoffman, Acting Director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition, during a panel discussion, indicated that the FTC is unlikely to pursue predatory pricing claims against companies that simply use investor funds to enter a market without being initially profitable. Hoffman recognized that, "entering [a market] while losing money and being paid for by investors in the hopes of eventually making a profit," has been a "pretty common entry model" for startups. As a result, proving price predation is "really challenging." "Most entrants in any industry aren't profitable on day one," Hoffman added.
Predatory pricing is the act of selling a good or service below cost to enable a dominant competitor, who has the capital to withstand losses, to knock rivals out of the market. Once competitors exit the market, the dominant competitor can then raise its prices to above-market levels for a substantial time to recoup the losses it incurred and earn substantial profit. This type of textbook market manipulation harms the marketplace and consumers by forcing them to purchase goods and services from a would-be monopolist at prices above competitive levels. The FTC can step in to prevent this sort of harm where it appears that a pricing scheme "is part of a strategy to eliminate competitors, and when that strategy has a dangerous probability of creating a monopoly for the discounting firm so that it can raise prices far into the future and recoup its losses."1
Thus, to be predatory in the eyes of regulators, a pricing strategy requires not only an initial phase of providing below-cost services, but also a second step where the dominant market player is able to then raise prices without effective competition. As Maureen K. Ohlhausen, Acting Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, explained recently at Georgetown University's Global Antitrust Enforcement Symposium, "a company needs to do more than just sell below cost and drive out rivals. It must somehow put itself in a position where rivals cannot easily re-enter the market once prices rise."2 Consequently, the FTC and other antitrust enforcers "must find evidence of a barrier that competitors cannot overcome once the price-cutting company raises prices enough to both recoup its earlier losses and to start earning supra-competitive returns."
These comments suggest that while the FTC will be monitoring startup pricing strategies, it will not move forward with enforcement based on predatory pricing theories unless and until it has reliable evidence that would-be competitors will be unable to reenter the subject markets as prices rise.
A more in-depth discussion on the FTC's views on the economic and regulatory implications of the growth of "sharing-economy" companies may be found here: FTC Report on Sharing Economy Cautions Regulators Not to Impede Innovation.

I logged into WordPress on Friday morning, thinking the name of my last post was a little clichéd and wanting to tweak it before it was read. I was stunned to find that this little blog, which was getting a modest 3-4 hits a day (mostly from friends and family and searchers after 'liberty' and 'ponyo') had been hit 228 times overnight (and this number continued to climb over the next few days), all on account of the WordPress powers-that-be deciding that a two sentence post, and a few pictures of raucous Australian native birds with attitude was worthy of the WordPress front page.
Needless to say, I was chuffed.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and left lovely comments.

In 2015, a stock broker who had been in the business for over 30 years told me that the best way to beat the market is by buying good, high-quality companies whose stocks had pulled back recently.
Although I don't always follow that advice, it does seem like a logical strategy that is often successful. Investors looking to embrace such a strategy should buy General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) stock, Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) stock and Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:PANW) stock.
All three names have retreated recently but have very strong businesses and are very well positioned to rebound strongly over the medium-to-long-term.
Stocks to Buy on Weakness: General Motors (GM)
GM stock has been beaten down recently, falling around 14% over the past six months. The trade dispute between the U.S. and China, along with worries about the future of NAFTA, have probably been key catalysts behind the decline. However as I pointed out in a previous column, "President Trump has always been a deal maker, and many of his actions as president … have been efforts to reach deals that improve the country's situation, as he sees it," making it likely that he would seek to make a trade deal with China.
Moreover, as I wrote in a subsequent column, China's president has indicated that the country is prepared to reduce the barriers to imports of vehicles to his country, where GM sold about 4 million vehicles last year. Furthermore, as I pointed out, "Chinese law currently requires 50% of all profits made by foreign companies from vehicles built in the country to be given to Chinese automakers," and "any relaxation of that onerous rule would greatly benefit GM and GM stock." And a NAFTA deal now may be right around the corner.
Meanwhile, GM is a leader in the autonomous car race, as it's already testing self-driving cars and intends to launch such vehicles by next year. The automobiles, which will be deployed as "ride sharing vehicles," could be much more profitable for GM than its current vehicles, since some middlemen, like banks and dealers, will be cut out of the picture.
Finally, GM stock is trading at a dirt cheap forward price to earnings ratio of just over 6.
Stocks to Buy on Weakness: Albemarle (ALB)
Lithium miner Albermarle, which mines lithium used to develop electric car batteries, is down about 30% over the last six months due to worries about increases in the supply of lithium. But demand for lithium is poised to explode over the longer term as the governments of many areas, including China, the U.K., France and California are setting electric car quotas or even banning the sale of non-electric vehicles starting 12-20 years from now. The entire EU is also considering implementing such a plan.
Additionally, as lithium prices drop slightly in the near-term, many smaller producers are likely to go out of business, removing some supply pressure over the longer term.
And Citi recently upgraded Albemarle stock to "buy" from "neutral," saying that lithium prices probably won't collapse and stating that the company is one of the few producers that can provide reliable, large quantities of top-quality" lithium carbonate/hydroxide to battery-makers," The Fly reported.
Stocks to Buy on Weakness: Palo Alto (PANW)
Over the last 10 days, Palo Alto stock has sunk about 3%. One reason for the pessimism may be the market's displeasure with two sizable acquisitions that the company made over the last month.
But the acquisition of Evident.io appears to greatly improve the company's cloud security offerings, while JPMorgan is upbeat on the Secdo deal, The Fly reported.
And Morgan Stanley recently stated that Palo Alto is "'well-positioned'" to increase its already leading market position in network security through cloud security services," Benzinga noted, adding that Morgan Stanley expects spending on cloud security to surge going forward. The firm raised its price target on the shares to $224 from $205.
As of this writing, Larry Ramer owned shares of Albemarle stock.
