Friendly locals are one of Brazil's greatest assets. Meet the people on the sun-kissed beaches of Rio de Janeiro, or learn the fluid dance-martial art of capoeira with them amid the colonial splendour of Salvador. Get up close to Brazil's fauna and flora in the incomparable Amazon or lesser-known Pantanal wetlands.
Brazilians take partying seriously. Watch the glittering pre-Lenten spectacle of Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, relax on golden beaches or join locals for caipirinhas cocktails in a small Bahian town. For modern architecture go to the capital Brasília or visit the cultural centre São Paulo. The Amazon jungle is mostly uninhabited, and its great river is best explored on boat trips and lodge visits.
Visit the futuristic-looking city of Brasília. People watch on the beaches in Rio de Janeiro. Marvel at the panoramic views from the Corcovado – site of the Christ the Redeemer statue. Gaze at masterpieces by Rembrandt in the São Paulo Museum of Art. Tuck into São Paulo's varied choice of cuisine and sample some of the renowned nightlife in the continent's biggest city.
The northwest of Brazil is dominated by the enormous Amazon rainforest, where the Amazon River runs from Manaus out to Belm on the coast. In the northeast you'll find Chapada Diamantina National Park, with its tabletop mountains, underground caves and azure lakes. The swampy Pantanal is great for spotting tapir, giant otters and monkeys, while the border with Argentina is the site of the spectacular Iguazu Falls.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Announced this past June alongside the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR camera, the new Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is an ultra-slim, entry-level pancake lens that uses Canon's Stepping Motor Technology (STM) to enable extra-quiet continuous autofocus, making it well-suited for video shooting. |
(This review has been prepared with Focus Numérique, a French photo news website) Owning a 50mm lens is probably a must for any photographer. These primes are ideal for many good reasons. Mounted on a full-frame body, they provide a neutral field of view. Not a wide-angle, and not yet a telephoto lens, it is said to be close to human vision. On wide sensors, a 50mm lens can be the perfect companion for many different activities, including reportage, portraits, or even landscapes. Mounted on an APS-C sensor, they become a short 75mm telephoto that is highly suitable for portraits. |

9 Alternatives to Spanking
Choices, Consquences, and Make-Ups
4. Give Choices
Giving your child a choice is an effective alternative to spanking. If she is playing with her food at the table ask, "Would you like to stop playing with your food or would you like to leave the table?" If the child continues to play with her food, you use kind but firm action by helping her down from the table. Then tell her that she can return to the table when she is ready to eat her food without playing in it.
5. Use Logical Consequences
Consequences that are logically related to the behavior help teach children responsibility. For example, your child breaks a neighbor's window and you punish him by spanking him. What does he learn about the situation? He may learn to never do that again, but he also learns that he needs to hide his mistakes, blame it on someone else, lie, or simply not get caught. He may decide that he is bad or feel anger and revenge toward the parent who spanked him. When you spank a child, he may behave because he is afraid to get hit again. But do you want your child to behave because he is afraid of you or because he respects you?
Compare that situation to a child who breaks a neighbor's window and his parent says, "I see you've broken the window; what will you do to repair it?" using a kind but firm tone of voice. The child decides to mow the neighbor's lawn and wash his car several times to repay the cost of breaking the window. What does the child learn in this situation? That mistakes are an inevitable part of life and it isn't so important that he made the mistake but that he takes responsibilty to repair the mistake. The focus is taken off the mistake and put on taking responsibility for repairing it. The child feels no anger or revenge toward his parent. And most importantly the child's self-esteem is not damaged.
6. Do Make-Ups
When children break agreements, parents tend to want to punish them. An alternative is to have your child do a make-up. A make-up is something that people do to put themselves back into integrity with the person they broke the agreement with. For example, several boys were at a sleep-over at Larry's home. His father requested that they not leave the house after midnight. The boys broke their agreement. The father was angry and punished them by telling them they couldn't have a sleep-over for two months. Larry and his friends became angry, sullen and uncooperative as a result of the punishment. The father realized what he had done. He apologized for punishing them and told them how betrayed he felt and discussed the importance of keeping their word. He then asked the boys for a make-up. They decided to cut the lumber that the father needed to have cut in their backyard. The boys became excited and enthusiastic about the project and later kept their word on future sleep-overs.

Monday's preliminary hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to hold James O'Neil, Wyatt Williamson, Gregory Stephens and Trevor Bohn over for trial has been continued to Wednesday, Bohn's attorney, William Bragg, has confirmed.
The four men pleaded not guilty in Humboldt County Superior Court on Oct. 24 to 11 felony charges, including conspiracy to commit a crime, assault with a caustic chemical and false imprisonment by violence.
The charges listed in the felony complaint, prepared by Assistant District Attorney Kelly Neel, stem from a Sept. 19 home invasion incident at a Fortuna apartment complex that sent five people -- including an infant and a toddler -- to the hospital after they were doused with bear pepper spray.
Bragg said that Monday's preliminary hearing was pushed back as the result of a discovery motion he filed, which was granted Wednesday by Superior Court Judge Bruce Watson.
Under the discovery motion, Bragg said he is seeking access to records, specifically involving contact made with the children involved in the bear pepper spray incident. Bragg said the records will be delivered to Watson for review, at which point the judge will determine whether they can be used by Bragg.
The defendants are expected to reappear in court Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.

Mark Webber is refusing to predict how Red Bull will perform at the upcoming European GP, saying this season's results have made that "very difficult."
Webber is one of seven different drivers to have won a grand prix this season and given that Formula One is only heading into its eighth race that means no one has yet to claim two victories.
Red Bull, though, do have the honour of being one of only two teams to have won two events as Sebastian Vettel has also added his name to the winners' list.
As a result, Red Bull are leading the Constructors' Championship by 31 points over McLaren while Vettel and Webber are third and fourth in the Drivers' race, three and nine points respectively behind Lewis Hamilton.
"Obviously it's very difficult to predict how we might go in Valencia, as we've clearly seen with seven winners and plenty of different podiums," Webber said.
"Our main goal is to improve our positions in both Championships, so personally for me in the Drivers' Championship and of course the team is looking to keep a good margin in the Constructors'.
"I know everyone in Milton Keynes has been working incredibly hard in between the two races."
As for Vettel, he admits a good qualifying session will be needed as it is not easy to overtake on the Valencia street circuit.
"In Valencia, we drive an average of more than 200kph, which means it's one of the fastest street circuits in Formula One," said the German. "Overtaking is possible, but only with some risk.
"The reason is that the air turbulence created by cars driving closely behind each other doesn't disappear as it normally would due to the high walls around the track; you lose grip and, in some extreme cases, you have to lift the throttle."

Click Here For Special CofC Class of 2011 Cougar Athletics Video
CHARLESTON, S.C. - A total of 51 current and former student-athletes participated in a pair of May Commencement ceremonies held at the College of Charleston on Saturday on the Cistern Yard.
A tradition unlike many other colleges and universities, CofC students who complete their undergraduate degrees do not wear robes or caps for the spring commencement ceremony. Instead, women don white dresses and men wear white dinner jackets. For decades, this annual tradition has taken place in front of The College's oldest building, Randolph Hall, with ancient live oak trees draped with Spanish moss setting the stage.
Of this year's diverse and articulate group of political science, arts management, psychology, international business, geology, marine biology and biochemistry majors, CofC women's basketball standout Tonia Gerty (Port Orange, Fla.) beat the odds as a first-generation college graduate in her family with a bachelor's degree in communication. She finished an impressive four years with the Cougars ranking second all-time in career games played (121), sixth all-time in career points scored (1,230), first in career assists (466) and second in career steals made (203). Gerty hopes to play professional basketball overseas post graduation.
CofC women's tennis player Emma Hayman (Wanganui, New Zealand) was the recipient of the Willard Augustus Silcox Tennis Award, while 2010 Southern Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Year Lukas Koncilia (Tyrol, Austria) was the recipient of the Pat Kelly Award in Social Activism.
Hayman, a business administration major, recently completed a sports marketing internship with Dunlop Sport during the Family Circle Cup on Daniel Island and is looking to pursue a master's degree in marketing at Durham University in England next year. Koncilia, a communication and political science double major, is in the process of opening his own film company, "Tierra Unida," with the hope of setting up a base for activist filmmaking in St. Leon, Nicaragua. He and his fellow production group of activists have a local documentary in the works on the lack of food access on the eastside of Charleston called, "America Street."
Equestrian rider Alex Percival (Rock Hill, S.C.) garnered outstanding student and department honors in English, while softball pitcher Alexa Datko (San Diego, Calif.) and women's cross country distance runner Kristin Jenkins (Cheyenne, Wyo.) earned outstanding student honors in biology and mathematics respectively.
Most notably, 14 student-athletes in the Class of 2011 graduated with honors including Jenkins and third baseman and 2010 SoCon Baseball Player of the Year Matt Leeds (Boca Raton, Fla.), who graduated at the top of their class, summa cum laude, with a 3.9 or better grade-point average, thanks to the help and guidance of the CofC Student-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) office headed up by director Keith Merritt II and academic advisor Kate Tiller and learning specialist Karen Donovan.
Koncilia, Percival and softball centerfielder Kristi Woodall (Huntersville, N.C.) graduated magna cum laude (3.750-3.899 GPA) followed by Datko, Ali Dowty (Vernon, Conn.) of equestrian, Justin Fojo (Port of Spain, Trinidad) of men's soccer, Jamie Holler (Rock Hill, S.C.) of baseball, Brynne Johnson (Centerville, Ohio) of women's track and field, Kelley Kroll (Irmo, S.C.) of equestrian, Annie Pease (Marietta, Ga.) of women's soccer, Amanda Raymond (Richmond, Va.) of women's soccer and Mary Zolga (Raynham, Mass.) of women's track and field, cum laude (3.500-3.749 GPA).
Former guard Danny Johnson (Morganton, N.C.), who starred for the CofC men's basketball team from 1998-99, returned to The College after 10 years of playing professional basketball to finish coursework towards his degree in sociology. Since 2009, Johnson has been the owner of Teacups and Trucks, a small business he built specializing in custom birthday parties for children.
The majority of CofC's graduating student-athletes have benefited from scholarship funding throughout their academic and athletic careers provided by the Cougar Club, the athletic department's fundraising arm. If you would like to become a member to help continue to support student-athlete scholarships, please contact executive director Brandon Stevens at (843) 953-8255.

3dr Cpe Auto Turbo w/Black Int
Starting at $23,100 | Starting at 24 MPG City - 31 MPG Highway
Hyundai is blurring class lines with the Veloster. It's got two doors like a coupe yet it's shaped like a hatchback. No matter what you call it, the Veloster is designed to win over just about everyone. With attractive and unique asymmetrical styling and a sporty demeanor, the Veloster is loaded with standard features that set it apart. Add to that best-in-class interior volume and high-quality materials, with a base price just over $17,000, and the Hyundai Veloster is hard to beat.
While the Veloster was all new for 2012, Hyundai has still been hard at work trying to make the Veloster appeal to an even broader audience. A high performance version is brand new for 2013 featuring a much more powerful turbocharged engine. Simply dubbed the Veloster Turbo, the new car is faster, handles better and includes more upscale features.
The 2013 Hyundai Veloster rides on a platform loosely based on the Elantra sedan, but all similarities end there. The new car is not only a visual departure from the rest of the Hyundai lineup, it is a segment-defining look sure to draw lots of attention.

The Scion tC is an affordable, stylish coupe offering up plenty of features and fun with a base price well under $20,000. It promises all of the looks of a more expensive sports car without the price tag.
The 2013 Scion tC comes in two trim levels from the factory, base trim and "Release Series 7.0" trim. Buyers can choose to equip it with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed sequential automatic transmission.
Power for all tCs comes from a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with dual variable valve timing. The unit produces 180 hp and 173 lb-feet of torque, making plenty of power at the first stomp of the gas. However this power does not come at the cost of fuel economy as the Scion tC is still rated at 31 mpg on the highway.
The tC benefits from MacPherson front, while the rear utilizes an independent double- wishbone system. Steering is quick thanks to electronically assisted rack-and-pinion power steering.
Standard features include power mirrors, windows and locks, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, sport seats, a 60/40 split folding rear seat, keyless entry, panoramic power moonroof and an 8-speaker Pioneer audio system with USB port and iPod connectivity.
The Release Series 7.0 tC adds on a unique body kit, a honeycomb grille, an 18-inch alloy wheels and proximity keyless entry.
The options list is extensive and includes body graphics, rear spoiler, fog lights, door sill accents, Bluetooth, remote start, TRD performance accessories, Alpine premium audio, navigation and satellite radio.
Safety is paramount in the tC, with advanced front airbags, front side-mount airbags, front and rear side airbags, active headrests front and rear, a first aid kit and a tire pressure monitoring system.

My mom had one of these type pillows for over 20 years. I have been looking for this pillow and FOUND IT!!! It will NEVER go flat and will be as comfortable as any pillow you have ever used. It has a springy type feel. Your head sinks in but it is also firm enough to give you good neck support. The pillow has a removable, washable cover also. You will not be dissapointed. I bought two, two years ago and they are like brand new, and I use them every night. It is almost comparable to memory foam without being "hard " like. A must have for anyone any age!!!
This is without a doubt the most comfortable pillow I've ever had. After years of searching for the "perfect" pillow, this one by far comes the closest. It's neither too firm nor too soft and gives just the right amount of support in all the right places. I bought my first one over a year ago, and have never woken up with a stiff or achy neck since. I just bought a second one to have on hand as an extra. If you're looking for a good pillow, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I was so tired of tossing and turning and waking with neck pain. After about a week sleeping with this pillow, my neck pain disappeared. I never have to toss and turn to get comfortable on my pillow, the material is hypoallergenic (a must for my husband), and the pillows don't lose their shape. Worth every cent!
There are not enough stars for this pillow. I have tried down, feather, memory foam, none of these compare. This pillow is soft enough to sleep comfortably, but firm enough to support your head. The memory foam pillows are tooooo hard, feather and down toooo soft to give support. This is the only pillow I will ever use again. It is like sleeping on a cloud, no more tossing and turning at night. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
This latex pillow is the best thing ever invented! I'm very sensitive to headaches from pillows that compress when you sleep on them- this pillow almost completely suspends my head. It's truly amazing and I highly recommend it. I bought 1 just to try it out- but now I'll be buying 3 more to complete the set!
Love, love, love these pillows! They are just what I'd been looking for and couldn't find in stores.
I was looking for a pillow that was not thick and extra firm. This pillow is so soft that your heads sinks to the bed as if there is no support at all. I'm using a pillow that is 30 years old because I can not find a pillow to replace it.
While I am still missing my old broken in pillows, they needed to be long gone, this is the same style and will take a bit of adjustment as they are very thick. once they break down a bit and get used to having a head lay on them it will be more comfortable.
I have been using These pillows for years I purchased these for my guest rooms These are the most comfortable pillows I have recommended them to all my friends
Love my pillows so comfortable. Really ge a great night;s sleep. Would recommend

All things Mother Earth Living
When the holidays roll around, it can be tempting to toss our usual standards out the window and buy whatever's cheap and convenient. But this time of year is one of the most important for retailers—which means exercising your "dollar as your vote" at this time of year is particularly effective. Rather than buying inexpensive, mass-produced items made with questionable materials and manufacturing practices, try choosing handmade gifts made by artisans in the United States. A wide array of Etsy shops offer affordable and beautifully crafted items for just about anyone on your list. Here are a few of my favorite shops.
One of my long-time favorite Etsy shops, Oh, Little Rabbit offers tea towels, cloth bags, onesies and more, all created and screenprinted at the owners' Albany, Oregon, home. I was lucky to visit their home for an upcoming Mother Earth Living profile, and the couple is incredibly nice and hardworking. They make all their own designs, and they've grown their business from a closet-in-an-apartment operation to now offering pieces in retail outlets nationwide. Check out their superfun Christmas tea towel designs—perfect for a holiday hostess or a housewarming gift.
Hill Country Woodcraft offers wooden toys handcrafted by a Texas family out of sustainable hardwoods. Dedicated to supporting local business and customer service, the HC Woodcraft family purchases its non-wood materials in Central Texas and guarantees each product they sell. Their adorable wood (finished with tung oil), leather and yarn stick horses sell for a very reasonable $40, and they also offer adorable customized wood blocks, stacking rings, bowling sets, tractors, animals, cars and rattles.
Elucx (Eco & Luxury) is a brand dedicated to handcrafted and luxurious skin and body-care products. Made by a crafter and mom in Montreal, the line features certified organic ingredients, reusable packaging and is 100 percent free of chemicals. Considering their handcrafted nature and gorgeous, high-end packaging, Elucx products are priced fairly—the Spa Gift Set (with pink clay facial mask, lavender and vanilla body scrub, milk bath soak and four lip balms) makes a great stocking stuffer at $41.
Vintage jewelry makes for a beautiful, thoughtful and unique gift, but it can be hard to come by high-quality pieces for a decent price. Luckily, Etsy shop FreshyFig offers a slew (432 items as of right now) of beautiful, reworked vintage pieces at excellent prices. The Portland, Oregon-based shop owner refreshes old lockets and adds water-resistant coatings to make them highly durable. Her offerings range from delicate filigree to whimsical animals—unique accessories for affordable prices (nearly all around $30 or less).
Give your loved ones the gift of gardening—and fresh food—with these superadorable microgreen indoor growing kits from Maggie's Microgreens. New Mexico-based Maggie Briggs found gardening a challenge when she moved to the high desert mountains of New Mexico, but then she discovered microgreens, which are easy to grow inside and delicious to eat any time of year. Her kits include six of her best-selling organic microgreen seeds with detailed growing instructions for $18, or get a vintage growing vessel with seeds, rocks and instructions for around $10.
Creams, lotions, moisturizers, shampoos—body care is expensive! Especially for those of us who want to the avoid potentially toxic chemicals found in many conventional body-care products. The great news is that nature provides us with affordable and effective alternatives—after all, who hasn't heard of Cleopatra's alleged natural beauty regimen, which included milk and honey baths and essential oil perfumes? We love offering natural DIY beauty tips throughout the year in Mother Earth Living, and many excellent blogs provide the same kind of recipes on a weekly basis. Here are a few of my favorite recipes from the blogs of natural health pros. Mix away and enjoy!
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a fabulous organization fighting the use of toxic chemicals in makeup. The group's site is an excellent source of information and, as an added bonus, they also have some great recipes for DIY body care. Try this invigorating coffee scrub!
• 2 cups coarsely ground coffee • 1/2 cup raw sugar or sea salt • 2 to 3 tablespoons massage oil Mix all ingredients together. Take a hot shower to moisten your skin and open your pores. Using wide, circular motions, rub the coffee exfoliant onto your skin with strong, even pressure. Shower off, pat skin dry and apply a thin layer of your favorite body lotion. Read more.
Certified holistic health coach Sonnet offers delicious recipes for food and body care on her blog. Here's a simple DIY dry shampoo.
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder • 2 tablespoons organic cacao or cocoa powder (omit if blonde)
Combine ingredients and store in a small container. Use a makeup or blush brush to apply a small amount of dry shampoo to the roots. Then, working in sections, brush powder through hair until it blends in with hair and oil is absorbed. If needed, apply a bit more and repeat. Read more.
Certified health coach Amanda offers excellent recipes and advice on her blog. Here is her recipe for a home version of a rich face oil.
• 50 milliliters (about 2 ounces) of carrier oil • 15 drops of essential oils (either 15 of 1 oil, or 5 drops each of 3 different oils … just make it 15 drops total) • 1 vitamin E capsule (optional) Put a few drops of oil on your hands, rub your hands together gently and massage into your face, concentrating on the drier areas. I like to do a few minutes of facial massage in the evening when I apply the oil. Relaxing! Read more.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but it's not necessarily the best for our health with its combination of sugary treats and cheap plastic costumes. This year, I'm trying to make my holiday fun a little healthier for my family and the environment. Here are a few ideas I've come up with. Please share your tips with me!
1. Host a costume-swap party. I love this idea of saving and passing on used Halloween costumes, especially for kids. If you have a group of parent friends, especially whose children are a few years apart in ages, make it an annual tradition to save your children's costumes and swap them next year. The site National Costume Swap Day offers registration and tips for hosting a swap. A friend of mine used to host an annual "soup swap" party. Everyone would make a large batch of soup, then package it in 1-quart plastic freezer bags. Everyone would bring four to six servings and trade. We all left with many kinds of soup for the freezer. You could host such a party and add a costume swap into the mix.
2. Get thee to the thrift store. I love thrift store shopping, but depending where you live it can require some hunting to find nice, normal day-to-day clothing. Lucky for us we aren't looking for nice or normal when it comes to Halloween. Take a few hours on an upcoming Saturday to visit your local thrift store and see what inspirational (aka weird) clothing options you can find.
3. Make your own face paint. When the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics tested children's face paint for lead and other heavy chemicals, they found lead present in 10 of 10 samples. Fortunately, it's fun and easy to make your own nontoxic version by mixing natural food coloring (available at health food stores or here) into unscented lotion or pure cocoa butter. Greenhalloween.org offers video instructions.
4. Candy, man! It's a major bummer, but most conventional chocolates are made using horrible working conditions and in some cases child slave labor. The good news, though, is that you can find a number of delicious organic, fair trade candies via the Natural Candy Store. Try the OCHO bite-sized organic candy bars or Halloween lollipops. All Natural Candy Store candies are also free of artificial colors, dyes, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives.
5. Make a healthier treat. While candy doesn't offer much in terms of nutritional value, a few Halloween favorites are better from a health perspective. Caramel apples, for example, offer all of the fibery goodness of the fruit and, if you add them, nuts provide healthy fats. This recipe from Whole Lifestyle Nutrition uses cream, sucanat (unrefined cane sugar) and honey to make caramel. Another tasty treat that's pretty good for us: Caramel corn. This healthier version uses almond or peanut butter and honey to make a sweet topping for popped corn (always avoid microwave popcorn bags, which are lined with the chemical PFOA—instead opt for air-popped, skillet-popped or simply use a brown paper bag in the microwave).

It may not be a metropolis, but my home of Lawrence, Kansas, is pretty cool. A college town filled with art, music and intellectuals (we're the 9th-smartest city in America, according to this recent study), we're also lucky to have access to some pretty amazing food. One of our leading businesspeople is Hilary Brown. The founder of the visionary café Local Burger—think healthy, local fast food—Hilary has now moved on to be the owner of an expanding veggie burger business, Hilary's Eat Well, making her delicious burgers available at Whole Foods and other grocery chains nationwide. We're all proud of this local dynamo (and quite lucky that she will be catering some events surrounding our upcoming Lawrence Mother Earth News Fair). Hilary agreed to share some of her recipes with us. The great thing about these delicious vegan recipes is that they are much healthier alternatives to the conventional versions of these classic comfort foods: nachos, sloppy Joes and Swedish meatballs. Enjoy!
Adzuki Bean Burgers add amazing flavor and extra crunch to these nachos. The secret to great vegan nachos is the cheese—we love WayFare cheese dips because they're dairy-, soy-, egg- and gluten-free and taste really (really) good! Also great with black olives, WayFare sour cream, jalapenos and extra salsa!
• 30 tortilla chips • 2 Hilary's Eat Well Adzuki Bean Burgers (toasted) • 1/2 cup black beans (rinsed) • 4 green onions (chopped) • 3/4 cup WayFare Mexi Cheddar Spread • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
1. Heat cheddar spread in a small saucepan over low heat.
2. Arrange chips on large plate. Crumble toasted burgers over chips and add black beans.
3. Drizzle with cheese dip and top with green onions and tomatoes.
This is a great gluten-, soy- and meat-free version of sloppy Joes! Sir Kensington's Spicy Ketchup is perfect with this recipe—it has great flavor and is made with real, whole-food ingredients.
• 1 medium onion, chopped • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 green pepper, chopped • 4 Hilary's Eat Well Adzuki Bean Burgers, chopped into ¼-inch cubes • 1 tablespoon oil • 1 tablespoon brown sugar • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder • 1/4 cup yellow mustard • 1 cup Sir Kensington's Gourmet Scooping Ketchup, Spicy • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) • Gluten-free hamburger bun • Sliced red onion (to serve, optional)
1. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent.
2. Add bell pepper and cook another 3 minutes or until softened.
3. Add burgers and cook until browned and heated through.
4. Stir in brown sugar and chili powder. Add mustard and ketchup and stir until combined. Add salt to taste.
5. Serve heaping on a gluten-free bun with sliced red onion.
This easy-to-make vegetarian version of Swedish meatballs is great for parties!
• 4 Adzuki Bean Burgers, crumbled • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped • 1/3 cup raw unsalted almonds, chopped • 1-1/2 cup vegan, soy-free Diaya • 3 clove garlic, finely chopped • 1 tablespoon corn starch • 1/3 cup almond milk • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped • 1 tablespoon Pickapeppa or vegetarian Worcestershire sauce • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper • 2 teaspoon salt • 1 egg (omit if vegan)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and shape mixture to walnut sized balls.
3. Place in a lightly greased or oiled pan and bake covered with foil for 20 minutes. Turn periodically to brown each side.
4. Remove from pan and let sit 5 minutes before serving. For Vegan Swedish Meatball Sauce follow a traditional recipe and substitute Vegan Sour Cream or find a recipe here.
Next week, I, along with my 1-year-old Julian; husband and Mother Earth News Fair Programming Director, James; and about 30 other members of our staff here at Ogden Publications will be heading east to our fourth annual Mother Earth News Fair in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. If you've never heard of the Mother Earth News Fair, you're missing out. As I mentioned, my husband, James Duft, is the programming director, and with such a close view of this event, I can tell you how much care, conscientiousness and planning goes into it every year.
Each year, more than 10,000 enthusiastic people descend on Seven Springs Mountain Resort, a gorgeous spot in the mountains of Pennsylvania, about an hour and a half from the Pittsburgh airport. More than 150 speakers and presenters (myself included) present on a range of topics focused on self-sufficiency and sustainability. You can see the full program guide here. This year some of the highlights for me include the always entertaining and informative Joel Salatin presenting "Don't Be Scared, Be Strange"; a legend in the herb world, Rosemary Gladstar, presenting on Herbs for Family Health; the excellent author Lisa Kivirist presenting on "Organic Eating on a Dime"; and, because cheese is just one of the greatest foods, a workshop on making cultured raw milk mozzarella—yum!
Mother Earth Living has its own stage with its own lineup of presenters, covering such topics as herbal remedies, DIY home necessities and more. Plus there is tons of fun for the whole family outside the presenters—dozens of animals are on display including alpacas, llamas, pigs, chickens and sheepdogs. There is delicious food, ongoing presentations of old-fashioned skills such as weaving, plus a marketplace of more than 200 vendors. Plus, everyone stays together at the resort, so breakfast might find you comingling with actor Ed Begley Jr. and our publisher, Bryan Welch. If you love living simply and living well, I would highly encourage you to join us at one of the upcoming Fairs. We are adding a Midwest location this year in Lawrence, Kansas, (where many of us live) on October 12 and 13. West Coast residents can visit the Puyallup, Washington, Fair every June, and anyone in the Southern regions can look forward to our first-ever Asheville, North Carolina, event this coming April of 2014.
Here is an overview of last year's Pennsylvania Fair
You're coming, right??
Weleda Calendula Baby Face Cream: This wonder cream is my go-to for any skin problems my baby is having. Whether it's a raw chin from teething drool or a mild rash outbreak, this miracle cream makes it disappear. Incredibly effective yet gentle and free of harmful chemicals, this cream is a must-have for sensitive baby skin. 1.6 ounces: $13
Pura Bottles: I'm in love with my Pura baby bottles. I didn't want to use plastic bottles, and glass is great but it can crack or chip. Hence, the stainless steel solution. Pura makes excellent bottles with a wide range of nipple styles. The other amazing thing they've thought of? The steel rim also comes with a silicone sealing disk, so as baby gets older, you can use it as a container for snacks or whatever else you're toting. I love them! Pura Kiki 11-ounce infant bottle: $16
Earth's Best Organic foods: Although there are a few companies making high-quality organic baby foods, Earth's Best Organic is the only full line, including cereals, purees, snacks and more for infants, toddlers and kids. Every ingredient is organic, the company tests its ingredients for pesticide contamination, and the foods are sourced from American farms. Plus they make lots of interesting flavor combinations such as Apple Butternut Squash, Chicken Mango Risotto and Summer Vegetable Dinner (zucchini, corn, green beans, brown rice, carrots and garbanzo beans). 4-ounce jars: $1
Ubbi diaper pail: Made of durable stainless steel, Ubbi diaper pails don't absorb odors like plastic cans often do. They have a tight seal you close at the top, which helps hold in odors, and they use standard garbage bag sizes, unlike some that require custom bags you have to keep buying. And, unlike some of the plastic options, Ubbi pails have a modern design. It's a great product. Ubbi diaper pail: $80
Honest Diapers: I have been totally satisfied with the service from Honest Diapers. Figuring out what kind of diapers to use was one of my hardest decisions when pregnant. Although I love the idea of cloth, working full time made it sound unappealing to spend so much of my precious baby time doing laundry. But I definitely didn't want to use chemical-laden and landfill-clogging conventional diapers. Enter Honest Diapers. Chemical-free and biodegradable, these disposable diapers arrive at your doorstep each month, along with saline diaper wipes. The quantity is perfect: I've never run out of diapers, yet I have very few left when the next batch arrives. They come in a variety of adorable patterns, including seasonal and holiday patterns, all of which are updated periodically. It's fun, easy and better for the environment than conventional. Another advantage: I never have to think about buying diapers. Honest Diapers and wipes, monthly subscription: $80
My husband, James Duft, is the programming director for our Mother Earth News Fairs, a series of hands-on celebrations of sustainable living. This year will be the first one we've had in Lawrence, Kansas, where we live. A couple months ago, we met for coffee and breakfast with a few of our city leaders as he started developing content plans for the Fair. It was a fortuitous meeting, because we met Ian Spomer, sales director for Cromwell Solar, which is now leasing solar panels in Lawrence. As an editor for Natural Home & Garden (now transitioned into Mother Earth Living), I had talked to and featured many people who had financed solar panels, most notably Matthew Grocoff, the host of GreenovationTV, who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He made the good point that "most people can walk into a car dealership and walk out with a $25,000 car and financing. Yet navigating solar rebates, tax credits, incentives and financing requires an advanced degree. Investing in solar should be as easy as buying a car." (Read about Matt's net-zero Michigan home.)
In California and many other places in the U.S., solar leasing has made investing in solar just about as easy as buying a car. Major companies such as SunRun and Sungevity have been making this opportunity available for years. But solar leasing didn't exist in Kansas—until now. Using a solar lease, the bank owns your solar panels and leases them to you for a period of 15 years. The first step is applying for the loan. Then the company determines how much solar you'll need by pulling your electricity bills for the past year. In our case, our south-facing roof and smallish house meant that our solar array will be able to provide 98 percent of our energy needs. If we can cut back on energy use at all, we should be able to achieve 100 percent solar.
We will make payments to the bank, which is financing the panels, which will cost less than our current electric payments. The payments go up with inflation over the years of the lease, but less than the expected cost of electricity increases. At the end of the 15-year lease period, we buy out the remaining cost of the panels—contractually not more than $1,000. Then we own them and they continue producing free energy on our roof. The panels are under warranty for 25 years.
None of this requires a down payment. The bank gets big tax credits for financing the alternative energy; we get an expensive alternative energy system with bite-size payments we can afford. Of course, you may also be in the position to take out a loan and take advantage of tax credits on your own, but for us, this was a workable solution.
I can't tell you how excited I was to come home to solar panels covering our roof! They're not turned on yet—we're awaiting a final inspection by the energy company. I am so excited for the day we start producing solar power!

The West Valley detective whose name is popping up in several allegations of corruption now appears to be popping up on a pink slip. According to a letter from an attorney representing the Fraternal Order of Police, Thursday West Valley police told Detective Shaun Cowley they were going to fire him in the next 7-10 days. "The police department cited issues of "mishandling evidence, insubordination, and dereliction of duty."
Cowley was one of two officers who shot and killed Danielle Willard last November. Cowley is mentioned in many of the 19 West Valley drug cases dismissed by the Salt Lake County District Attorney, and Cowley was a member of the West Valley Neighborhood Narcotics Unit now being investigated by the FBI for corruption. Right now West Valley police are refusing to talk about Cowley's possible termination.
"So as a police department you're not going to respond to anything regarding the letter?" Reporter Brian Carlson asked police.
When Carlson called police Friday they didn't want to comment, and referred him to city spokesperson Aaron Crim. He told Carlson he doesn't know where this letter is getting its information, but said claims that Cowley is losing his job are simply not true.
"No decision has been made at all. In fact the police chief is the only person who can make that decision, she has not determined anything," said Aaron Crim, West Valley City Spokesperson.
You can decide for yourself whether you believe the letter or West Valley City. Either way, you'll find out which one is right in the next 7-10 days.

Steven Tyler does 'Idol' audition in drag
Tyler appeared as 'Pepper LaBeija'
During "American Idol" on Thursday, the judges panel was treated to a skirted surprise.
As Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj weeded through the contestants in Oklahoma, in walked one "Pepper LaBeija," there to spice things up a bit.
In actuality, of course, it was former "Idol" judge Steven Tyler. He was committed to his appearance as Pepper, arriving in a wig, lipstick, heels and a full bosom.
Urban was the sole member of the panel to immediately fall into a fit of laughter, while Jackson channeled his inner Liz Lemon and exclaimed, "what the what?!" Carey and Minaj, meanwhile, bore polite, if not a little confused, smiles.
After Tyler told a few jokes in a noticeably strained voice, Minaj called him out. "Dude look like a lady," Carey quipped.
Sadly, though the Aerosmith frontman said he tried hard, he didn't make it through to Hollywood week. Nice that he paid homage though to one of the most beloved stars of the 1990 documentary "Paris is Burning."

Retail sales in the U.S. unexpectedly rose in April reflecting broad-based gains that may ease concern consumers are holding back.
The 0.1% increase followed a 0.5% drop in March, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 81 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.3% drop. The figures used to calculate growth, which exclude categories such as automobiles, also advanced.
The figures may prompt economists to forecast spending this quarter will cool less than previously projected as Americans overcome the January increase in the payroll tax. Lower fuel costs combined with rising stock and home values also are helping boost buying power, which will help underpin purchases as the labor market mends.
"Consumers are staying active and providing support to the economy," said Michael Moran, chief economist at Daiwa Capital Markets America Inc. in New York, who correctly forecast the increase in sales. "We will see a slowdown this quarter, but it won't be dramatic. There will be some damping of spending due to the payroll tax, but it will be mild."
Stock-index futures trimmed earlier losses after the report. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index maturing in June fell 0.2% to 1,627 at 8:50 a.m. in New York. It had been down as much as 0.5% earlier in the day.
Survey Results
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a drop of 0.9% to a 0.7% gain. The reading for March was revised from an initially reported decline of 0.4%.
Nine of 13 major categories showed gains last month, led by a 1.2% advance at clothing stores, the biggest in more than a year. Receipts at general merchandise outlets, which include department stores, climbed 1%, the most since March 2012.
Sales at automobile dealers also improved, which is at odds with the industry data that came out earlier this month.
Cars and light trucks sold at a 14.9 million annual pace in April, down from a 15.2 million rate the prior month, according to data from Ward's Automotive Group. The average for the first quarter was 15.3 million, the strongest since the same period in 2008 and a sign the longer-term outlook remains positive.
Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC said sales increased in April from the same month last year.
"Low borrowing costs and rising consumer wealth should continue to support spending growth going forward," Jenny Lin, Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford's senior U.S. economist, said on a May 1 conference call.
Gasoline Prices
A drop in receipts at service stations restrained the gains. The decrease probably reflected lower gasoline prices because the data aren't adjusted for inflation.
A gallon of regular gasoline at the pump averaged $3.55 in April, lower than March's $3.69. The price peaked at a four- month high of $3.79 on February 26, according to AAA, the biggest U.S. auto group.
The figure used to calculate gross domestic product, which excludes autos, gasoline and building materials, climbed 0.5% after a 0.1% increase in the previous month. The data for March and February were revised up.
Retailers that sell discounted name-brand clothing and home goods were among those showing the best results. Same-store sales jumped 8% last month from the same time in 2012 at TJX, the owner of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores, while Ross Stores Inc. had a 7% gain. Results at both chains exceeded analysts' forecasts.
'Strong Start'
May is "off to a strong start," Sherry Lang, senior vice- president of global communications at Framingham, Massachusetts- based TJX Cos., said on a May 9 sales call. "It was nice to see strength in apparel as well as home categories across the board."
Chains that didn't do so well included L Brands Inc. The operator of the Victoria's Secret lingerie chain reported a 2% rise in April sales at stores open at least a year, missing analysts' average estimate.
Household spending, which accounts for about 70% of the economy, will grow at a 1.8% annualized rate this quarter after expanding at a 3.2% pace in the first three months of the year, the most since the end of 2010, according to the median forecast of economists survey by Bloomberg this month.
Economists marked down forecasts on expectations an increase in taxes would start to bite. At the beginning of 2013, the payroll tax reverted to its 2010 rate of 6.2% after holding at 4.2% for two years.
Stock Prices
Advances in equity prices, which mainly benefit wealthier Americans, are helping to underpin consumer spending. U.S. stocks are in the fifth year of a bull market amid better-than- forecast corporate earnings and record stimulus by the Federal Reserve.
Retail sales may also keep getting help from the housing market. Residential real-estate prices rose in the year ended in February by the most since May 2006, according to the S&P/Case- Shiller index of house values in 20 cities.
Better job growth would help spur purchases and put more of the 11.7 million unemployed Americans back to work. Payrolls expanded by 165,000 workers in April after a 138,000 gain in March, according to the Labor Department. They rose by 236,500 a month on average from November through February.

The Rev. Bradley M. Schaeffer, a Boston College trustee and rector of a major Jesuit training program in Brighton, failed to stop a predator priest associated with Mother Teresa of Calcutta during the 1990s, personally reviewing sexual abuse allegations and allowing him to continue to travel with boys. A judge has found that Schaeffer could have prevented years of abuse if he had taken stronger action against the Rev. Donald J. McGuire.

Episodic move away from "hard goods" desirable, says Zelnick
Speaking at the Piper Jaffray consumer conference in New York yesterday, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick admitted that the company is actively pursuing interests in episodic content, saying the model takes a lot of the risk out of retail.
"If we can get a good model for episodic content for high quality titles, that should be a pretty profitable business because there are no hard goods associated with it," he said.
The company head also talked about micro-transactions at the event, saying that allowing players to "change the way characters look, [add] weapons, cars and the like" is a valid way forward and that he has an aim at the moment to "turn packaged goods partially into a subscription business, and drive some of the volatility out."

He might be a favorite of evangelicals, but former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has said some things that scare other Americans, particularly those oh-so-coveted swing voters.
Zero percent—that's a bagel—of New York Jews favored Huckabee over the other Republican front-runners in a mid-January poll by Siena College. And a completely unscientific search here in Los Angeles didn't yield better results. (Huckabee's press office did not respond to a request for info on any Jewish volunteers in California; Greenfield also was unaware of any supporters.)
Here's how Jacques Berlinerblau, the author of "Thumpin' It," explained that phenomenon to me:
"Jews have been conditioned to play it close to the vest and keep their religious sentiments to themselves," said Berlinerblau, an associate professor of Jewish civilization at Georgetown University. "It is so viscerally in our cultural DNA, I don't think we are very comfortable with public faith-and-values talk. Especially when it is coming from a Christian spokesperson."
I know what you are thinking: Jews aren't typically considered swing voters. True, but if the Republican nominee is John McCain, we will most certainly see more Jews vote Republican than if the nominee is Huckabee or Mitt Romney or, heaven help us, Ron Paul. The same can be said for those who consider themselves an amalgam of liberal and conservative political opinions.
The question then becomes: What happens to the evangelical vote if the nominee is not Huckabee?

You know it is a religion-laced campaign season when only days before Barack Obama got on the phone with reporters for Jewish publications to reiterate that he's not an anti-Semite, he spoke with Christianity Today about his faith and why he thinks evangelicals can trust him.
I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life. But most importantly, I believe in the example that Jesus set by feeding the hungry and healing the sick and always prioritizing the least of these over the powerful. I didn't 'fall out in church' as they say, but there was a very strong awakening in me of the importance of these issues in my life. I didn't want to walk alone on this journey. Accepting Jesus Christ in my life has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals.
There is one thing that I want to mention that I think is important. Part of what we've been seeing during the course this campaign is some scurrilous e-mails that have been sent out, denying my faith, talking about me being a Muslim, suggesting that I got sworn in the U.S. Senate with a Quran in my hand or that I don't pledge allegiance to the flag. I think it's really important for your readers to know that I have been a member of the same church for almost 20 years, and I have never practiced Islam. I am respectful of the religion, but it's not my own. One of the things that's very important in this day and age is that we don't use religion as a political tool and certainly that we don't lie about religion as a way to score political points. I just thought it was important to get that in there to dispel rumors that have been over the Internet. We've done so repeatedly, but obviously it's a political tactic of somebody to try to provide this misinformation.

I never see anything about him anymore. I miss that little angry man.
everything is a scripted fratto bit with him now
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
He's gonna flip his shit
he's due to die again.

I hope his doing ok, love all his bits with Johnny Fratto
