Yesterday, the president called on Congress to implement Pay-As-You-Go budgeting, as he did during the 2008 campaign and Democratic Congressmen promised to do during the 2006 campaign. "The pay-as-you-go rule is very simple," Obama said. "Congress can only spend a dollar if it saves a dollar elsewhere." However to date, the only people tightening their belts are the industries he is strong-arming.
In his latest weekly radio address, which focused on health care, President Obama said, "A few weeks ago, some of these improbable allies committed to cut national health care spending by two trillion dollars over the next decade." That $2 trillion "commitment" was obtained in a meeting that took place at the White House last month. Convened by the president, it featured top players in the healthcare industry who were invited to account for their spending practices and then asked to come up with ways to cut costs. At the summit's conclusion, the president proudly announced that those present made a "voluntary" commitment to $2 trillion in spending reductions by 2019.
Later on, however, it emerged that the commitment was not entirely voluntary, as the participants were arm-twisted by administration officials into making their pledge. In any event, most of them do not think that they will be able to honor it in the end. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa described the vow as "fairy dust."
The futility of this particular exercise notwithstanding, the president's effort deserves close attention, because it is part of a recurring pattern. That pattern unfolds in the following manner. Obama summons top representatives of a major industry and tells them that their spending and expenses are unsustainably high. He declares this unacceptable and then orders that significant cuts be made. In the process, the president goes as far as to point out specific items which he personally deems unnecessary and wasteful. Some of the things that have drawn his criticism so far include the use of private jets, office refurbishments, and client hospitality functions. This attention to detail is meant to be the practical outworking of Obama's often-repeated conviction that in this time of economic hardship we all need to tighten our belts.
But the president's words and actions beg the question: Why doesn't he do the same? While Obama berates everyone else for their "excessive," "unsustainable," and "wasteful" costs, the federal government has under his direction embarked on an unprecedented spending extravaganza.
Consider these numbers. In less than a hundred days, he managed to open the largest budget deficit in American history. The $787 billion stimulus package he signed into law in February of this year is by far the largest spending bill ever. Described as "mammoth" by the media, this amount far exceeds any single bill of FDR even with inflation factored in. Christina Romer, Obama's close associate and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, boasted that the bill is "is a completely different animal in terms of size" from anything that has ever been tried before.
Worse yet, the stimulus package was ridden with pork. The final version of the bill, for example, included $225 million for "grants for violence against women prevention and prosecution programs." One can only wonder how a quarter of a billion dollars spent on this kind of program will help the economy. The vast array of questionable items included $2.5 billion for "research and development of renewable and efficient energy technology," $4 billion for "loan guarantees for standard renewables" and $85 million for "Indian Health Services IT development and deployment." Very little in the stimulus package was directed to stimulate the country's engine of jobs and prosperity – private enterprise. Most of it will go instead toward expanding government and paying off the president's leftwing constituencies and liberal interests groups. According to a recent analysis by Matthew Vadum, senior editor at Capital Research Center, ACORN – the radical community organizing group that has been indicted or convicted of voter fraud in seventeen states – could be eligible for $8.5 billion of stimulus money.
According to its latest estimate issued in March, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that this year's deficit will reach some $1.85 trillion. This is the biggest deficit ever, exceeding the previous record set in 2008 by a factor of four. Even though George W. Bush was something of a careless spender himself, Barack Obama makes him look like a model of fiscal sobriety. In a sign of how far things have gone, six months ago deficits of $1 trillion seemed unthinkable. Barely half a year into the Obama administration, they are already accepted as par for the course. To make the outlook even bleaker, the CBO's March projections were based on optimistic assumptions. With the economy slower, unemployment higher and tax receipts lower than what the CBO had forecast, it now seems inevitable that the deficit will exceed $2 trillion by the end of this fiscal year. We can expect this to be confirmed when the regular monthly update is issued early in July.
Revising the deficit upward has recently been something of a habit with the CBO. Earlier this year it put it at $1.2 trillion, then at $1.6 trillion, and finally at the current $1.85 trillion. Some experts predict that the budget shortfall will reach $2.5 trillion this year. Given the unparalleled spending propensities of this administration, they may well be right. It is hard to believe that in the course of a mere twelve months, the deficit will have shot past two previously-undreamed of landmarks – one and two trillion dollars. This is truly a historic achievement, but not the kind that is conducive to the economic and fiscal well-being of this country.
By current CBO's estimates Obama's deficits will add some $10 trillion to our national debt in the next decade, nearly doubling it. This number, however, will also be revised upwards once the new deficit figures are factored in. Dreary as these figures are, things are likely to be worse. This is because the CBO calculations do not take into account the costs of some of the president's most ambitious programs such as health care reform. Providing universal health insurance would effectively create the most far-reaching entitlement program in American history. The administration puts its cost at some $1.2 trillion over the next decade. Most experts, however, dismiss this figure as grossly understated. It is only enough to look at the exploding costs of Social Security and other entitlements to see how profoundly unrealistic the administration's numbers are. But even if we take Obama's estimate at face value, the resulting national debt would by 2019 stand at more than twice the level he inherited when he took the oath of office.
By far the most profligate president in this nation's history, Obama's spending extravaganza is made especially indefensible by the fact that he is using the money we do not have. Under his direction, the federal government has been borrowing almost fifty cents out of every dollar it spends. The president has repeatedly told us that he wants to lead by example. Cutting federal spending by the same amount he required of the healthcare industry – $2 trillion – would be a good start. The savings could surely be found, since Obama has himself publicly complained of government waste. So far the president has been asking everyone else to make sacrifices. Perhaps the time has come for him to do the same.

Here is the introduction to the DMB (Diamond Mind Baseball) Trade Value series.
2010 DMB Trade Value: #50 -#41
2010 DMB Trade Value: #40 – #31
2010 DMB Trade Value: #30 – #21
2010 DMB Trade Value: #20 – #11
So here we are, to our Top Ten DMB Ball Players and I must say looking at the top 15-20 there isn't much that seperates most of these players, almost personal preference or just slight improvement in key areas (and age). It has been awesome to break this type of list down with a "DMB" twist and I look forward to doing it every season. We'll see who rises and falls the most season over season and see what hot new players burst onto the scene in 2011, hope you enjoyed.
10) SP Adam Wainwright (R) – Age: 29
Quick Take: Definitely one of the best arms in baseball, sporting a solid 8.2 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, 2.91 FIP and a solid gb rate Wainwright is quickly becoming a reliable workhorse and ace pitcher many had envisioned when he was a prospect. His big weakness in 2009 was his propensity to get slightly roughed up by left handed hitters appears to be over given his .222 avg vs L this season and he should be counted upon to be one of the game's best starters for the next 5-6 seasons.
DMB PRO: solid control, groundball rate
DMB CON: lefties have historically hit him relatively hard, not a major concern at this point.
9) 2B Robinson Cano (L) – Age: 28
Quick Take: Can you believe this is Cano's 6th season with the Yankees? It feels like just yesterday he was the young rookie from "Murderer's row plus Cano" but now he is firmly entrenched in his prime and his offensive game has gone to unseen heights, his power (.238 ISO, .563 SLG%) as well as patience (8.5 BB%, almost double is career rate) has powered the second basemen to a career best .402 wOBA. Cano plays a very valuable position and has improved his defense in 2010 (3.2 UZR) and is the best overall second basemen in the game on pace for 30 HRs. He has finally put it all together in 2010 and should remain among the best middle infield options in DMB for 4-5 seasons if he continues to improve his patience and plate discipline.
DMB PRO: huge power for a 2B, big numbers versus lefties and righties.
DMB CON: plays in hitter's park, still needs to improve BB rate to maximize DMB value.
8 ) SP Josh Johnson (R) – Age: 26
Quick Take: One of the top overall arms in baseball, Johnson has taken another step forward in 2010 posting career best numbers in ERA (2.28), K/9 (8.8), BB/9 (2.28), FIP (2.50 and xFIP (3.23) in his second full season in the majors since coming back from TJ surgery. He is equally effective against lefties and righties and possesses one of the biggest fastballs in the game (94.8 MPH) and has shown a solid gb rate in his career. The only flaw he has DMB wise is pitching at Marlins Stadium, a notorious pitchers park.
DMB PRO: huge strikeout numbers coupled with low walk totals, good groundball rate, effective vs lefties and still improving
DMB CON: plays in is a pitchers park
7) 1B Albert Pujols (R) – Age: 30
Quick Take: Having an "off-year" with only a .420 wOBA, Pujols is in contention for the NL Triple Crown and is again having a remarkable season, if you don't compare to his past body of work of course. One of the best hitter's of our generation, Pujols is likely to be among the game's best all around players until he retires.
DMB PRO: best overall hitter in the game? Patience/power
DMB CON: only a 1B.
6) 1B Miguel Cabrera (R) – Age: 27
Quick Take: Probably the game's best right handed hitter, if he was still rated at 3B he would probably be near the top of this list but as it is he is still firmly in the top ten as his offensive ability carries him a long way. Miggy possesses huge power (.305 ISO), patience (14.4 BB %, .437 OBP) and a huge .446 wOBA all while playing in a pitcher's park with zero protection is a pretty lame Tigers lineup. Equally amazing against lefties (1.034 OPS) and righties (1.096 OPS) Cabrera is entering his prime and there is no reason to believe he won't remain among the game's best hitters for the next 5-6 seasons.
DMB PRO: amazing hitter, power and patience. Plays in a pitcher's park
DMB CON: only plays 1B, lousy defender
5) SP Roy Halladay (R) – Age: 33
Quick Take: The best pitcher in baseball, period. Halladay is a nightmare matchup for any hitter with his impeccable control over an arsenal vast enough to make an army general jealous. Halladay throws a nasty two-seam fastball with good sink, a cutter he throws to both lefties and righties, a solid overhand curveball and an improving changeup he hasn't thrown with much frequency until 2010 – scary.
The only thing keeping him from being ranked even higher is his age, though showing no signs of slowing down in 2010 (career best ERA at 2.27, FIP 2.80 and xFIP 2.91) Halladay has carved up the NL after serving as the game's best pitcher in the game's best division (AL East) since 2002. Doc seems to have a skill set that will age well (a control, groundball pitcher) that a Greg Maddux like age 36-40 period doesn't seem far-fetched.
DMB PRO: workhorse, solid against lefties and righties, awesome control and BB rate, groundball pitcher, pitches in a hitter's park, is a DMB dream pitcher
DMB CON: aging – like fine wine however.
4) 3B Evan Longoria (R) – Age: 25
Quick Take: One of the best all around players in the major leagues, his big time power (career .240 ISO, .523 SLG%), decent patience (10.2 BB %) and outstanding defensive abilities (15.3, 17.7 and 8.4 UZR marks the past three seasons). Still young and theoretically improving Longoria will be a DMB mainstay on rosters for the next ten seasons with his huge level of talent. Hits lefties and righties nearly equally as well and has added a bit of speed in 2010 (15 SBs) to go along with the power.
DMB PRO: huge power, great glove at 3B
DMB CON: could strike out less, never been a huge average hitter until 2010
3) C Joe Mauer (L) – Age: 27
Quick Take: The player to which all prospective catchers will be compared to for the next 15-20 seasons, maybe longer. Mauer has everything you want in a DMB player, he plays the most demanding (and leanest) position at catcher, has solid power for a backstop (.156 ISO), patience (11.7 BB %, 11.0 K %) and average (career .327). The fluky power show from 2009 (in 2009, his HR/FB was 20.4 %, his career mark is 10.7 %) hasn't returned but when you have a catcher that is as strong of an overall hitter and player as Mauer you have one of the top assets in DMB baseball. Only 27 years old and entering his prime, keep an eye on the park factors for the new Minnesota ballpark.
DMB PRO: premium position and top flight stats, hits lefties and righties
DMB CON: power has come and gone over his career.
2) 3B Ryan Zimmerman (R) – Age: 26
Quick Take: Simply, Zimmerman is a beast. Playing in a pitcher's park Zimmerman has put up huge power numbers (career .199 ISO), his 12.3 BB % is a career high which has also led to a career best OBP of .387, Zimmerman has it all. One of the best defensive players in baseball at a relatively thin 3B position, there aren't many better all around players in the game when factoring in age, talent and what DMB values in a player. Zimmerman might still improve as he is only 26 years old and the future is bright for a guy who has already put up a 6.3 WAR in 2010.
DMB PRO: big offensive numbers in pitcher's park, awesome defender, solid versus lefties and righties
DMB CON: nothing major
#1) SS Hanley Ramirez (R) – Age: 27
Quick Take: Like we discussed with Pujols previously, Hanley is having a bit of a 'down' year but has still put up an impressive .370 wOBA with a triple slash line of 299/375/476 in 2010 while providing league average defense at shortstop, he is miles better than any other SS in DMB considering he also plays in a pitcher's park. He destroys righties (874 OPS in 2010, 1018 in 2009) and has been remarkably consistent with his offensive numbers (.364, .411, .405, .410, .370 wOBA ) since his rookie season.
Hanley brings everything to the table, average, power, patience, speed and improved defense. At only 27 years old, Hanley will be entering his prime hitting seasons and is poised to be considered one of the best hitting shortstops in the history of the game if he continues at his current torrid pace.
DMB PRO: best offensive middle infielder in baseball, plays in a pitcher's park, great all around game, hits righties better than lefties
DMB CON: could stand to improve BB rate to maximize DMB value

One of my first stories as a young reporter at the Baltimore Sun was about a federal enterprise zone in a poor neighborhood known as Pigtown (it had once had slaughterhouses). The zone was supposed to boost local hiring and jobs by giving companies a $3,000 tax credit for every local person they hired. In practice, it worked differently. One big company let its local employees go, replaced them with Vietnamese immigrants recruited from Virginia, helped those immigrants move to Pigtown, and collected the tax credit.
Enterprise zones don't work any better in California, according to any number of studies. Last year, the Public Policy Institute of California compared enterprise zones in the state with similar areas that aren't enterprise zones and discovered this: enterprise zones had no effect on jobs and business creation.
The state legislature is now considering legislation to remake the enterprise zone program, replacing the hiring tax credits (which are so famously easy to game, as I learned in Baltimore) with a new tax credit for vocational training. The measure faces strong business opposition, the Sacramento Bee reports.
I'm not sure if a vocational tax credit will produce much. But eliminating a tax credit that doesn't work at a time of budget crisis makes all the sense in the world.

The following was a post I made on the Faerie Nation Yahoo group in 2008. I'm blogging it now because the problems it addresses keep on happening, I recently heard instances of it that broke my heart. And they did not all happen to a newbie! I hope my thoughts helps someone.
Ethical (and Unethical) Fey Teachers
Francesca De Grandis, May 5, 2008
For hundreds of years, fairy glimmers in the woods have beckoned, reflecting our secret longings, illuminating our honest needs. Puritanical moralists caution us about the evils of the fey. But we know better than that: The good folk can help free us from repressive religions and absurd social strictures. In addition, when we are barraged by a logic that denies magic and miracles, that fairy glimmer reassures us, telling us that mysticism is real, and that the wondrous is possible.
But not all the realms of fairy have beneficent dwellers. There is an Unseelie Court. And not all fey-touched magicians can be trusted, whether they call themselves fey, faerie, feri, fairy, or faery. (To define Unseelie in an oversimplified manner: Just as the Faerie Queen and her Seelie court might help us, so the Unseelie Queen and her followers are more likely to malevolently perpetuate great tragedy for humans.)
Sate your hunger for luminous mystery and faerie mysticism, and for the fellowship thereof. But don't let that ferocious appetite, authentic though it is, blind you to the following fact. Some people with immense glamour and fey power are pawns of the Unseelie Court. Perhaps this happens because power has made them so haughty that they are unwitting dupes for the forces of evil. Or perhaps they themselves become outright evil. Whatever the reason, it does happen.
Silence allows it to continue. I might sound strident but: I will not tolerate Fey practitioners who participate in molestation of children, sexual harassment of students, disregard for magical safety, and flashy curriculums lacking a moral compass that withstands the rigors of daily life. I am available by phone (814-337-2490) if you're concerned about yourself or a friend when it comes to such people. Newbies to the community are vulnerable, and I post this warning for them and for anyone else who needs support around these issues.
While many cautions against the fey realms can be rightly interpreted as disguised attempts to suppress us, and to make us milquetoast, there are valid cautions. Dark mysteries needn't be an excuse for a teacher to dominate. Wild hearts don't mean that a teacher can ignore your sexual boundaries. Powerful magic needn't lack caution. The quest for utter fulfillment needn't lead to hollow longings or addiction.
There are dark mysteries that are wholesome, wildness that is authentic, satiation that is both attainable and ethically possible. Powerful magic can safe. Fey fellowship, wild lovers, and powerful teachers can be both otherworldly and good. Find them all!
So mote it be.
In Her service,
Francesca De Grandis
Here is another blog by a woman named Mae that also addresses this issue. (It also says very kind things about me. Mae, thank you again.)

We celebrated my wonderful Mom-in-law's birthday yesterday. Each year, I look forward to what her "cake order" will be. See, each year family members place their specific "cake order" with me for their birthday...It can be anything they want! My Mom-in-law comes up with a fantastic cake challenge each year, and I was excited to hear what she had dreamed up. You might remember THIS FABULOUS MOUNDS BAR CAKE from last year. I think she may love chocolate and coconut just as much as I do!
This year, she challenged me with a chocolate cake that had a coconut-cream cheese icing. Game on! This is the concoction that I came up with. I whipped up a perfectly moist chocolate cake and flavored the batter with coconut extract. After one whiff of the batter as it was mixing, I knew that I had struck chocolatey gold! The cream cheese icing was equally decadent, with shredded coconut mixed right into the icing, and topped off with toasted coconut to add depth of flavor and texture. I even added a little toasted coconut in between the two layers for a little surprise.
This folks, may very well be my new favorite cake. The flavors are P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for the upcoming summer months. If a friend or loved one has a birhday coming up, surprise them with this cake! Better yet, make this cake for them "just because." You'll be their new favorite person! ;-)
Dreamy Coconut-Chocolate Cake
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (I prefer Ghirardelli)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 cup boiling water
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a different bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil and coconut extract; Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed of an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water...the batter will be very thin!
Pour batter into the prepared pans.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely and add icing...along with the toasted coconut on the top of each layer.
After icing the first layer...
Almost ready!
Coconut Cream Cheese Icing
Source: allrecipes.com
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted (see note below)
1.Beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, alternating with heavy cream. Beat in the salt, coconut flavoring, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and spreadable. Add additional confectioners' sugar if necessary to thicken the frosting, or more cream to thin. Stir in the coconut. If desired, spoon toasted coconut evenly over frosted cake.
***To properly toast the shredded coconut, simply spread the coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5 - 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Keep a close eye on the coconut while it's in the oven, because it tends to brown quickly! You may need to stir the coconut around on the baking sheet a few times, in order to avoid over-browning. The pieces of coconut near the outer edges will probably brown the quickest.***

Any fighter you like, sir - choose an F-35 off the rack
But to be honest, to an outsider it looks as though this sector could really stand to shrink quite a lot. The militaries of the West, it appears, continue to plough far too much of their straitened funds into exotic combat jets designed for unlikely wars, and not nearly enough into bread-and-butter infantry, surveillance platforms, helicopters, transport planes and so on***. The British forces' present state of financial paralysis, for instance, is caused by the expense of the Eurofighter more than by any other single factor.
Perhaps the boutique world of beautiful bespoke fighter technology should indeed become a dull one-size-fits-all sausage machine: any fighter you like, sir, as long as it's an F-35. Choose your variant off the rack. If that's what it takes to get our actual real fighting people properly paid, housed, equipped and up to appropriate numbers, it could well be a price worth paying.
One thing's for sure, anyway. If anyone really wants to trash the F-35, they'll have to wheel out someone more credible than Dr Carlo "Semtex Pulse Bomb" Kopp. ®
*A lesson the British "learned" from the Falklands, for instance, was that we should have a standing parachute brigade. As the Falklands lay well beyond the operational range of parachute transports from any available base this was a very curious conclusion to draw. It probably resulted mainly from the fact that the Parachute Regiment was the only Army (as opposed to Marine) unit to emerge from the campaign with much credit, no matter that they had travelled to the South Atlantic by ship. The UK has since admitted that it will in future conduct only "battalion level" parachute operations, if any. (The last real one was during the Suez conflict.)
**Who remembers the vaunted Mig-25 Foxbat, at one time the terror of the West? It was said to be able to fly at substantially better than Mach 3, handily beating almost any free-world jet. This actually was true in a sense - but a Foxbat has to have its engines scrapped after any such burst of speed. The Mig-25 didn't even come close to living up to the reputation that Western fearmongers had given it.
Another example of the oh-the-terrible-Russians mindset was the novel (and later, Clint Eastwood movie) Firefox, featuring the eponymous Russkie uberfighter - so potent that the technically outmatched West is forced to steal and copy it.
***There will also be those offering the traditional viewpoint that too much cash is ploughed into the military in general, and what about schools or hospitals etc. This is a rather old-fashioned notion, with the UK defence budget in modern times looking paltry compared to health, social protection etc.

Making your birth plan
A birth plan is a record of what you would like to happen during your labour and after the birth. You don't have to create a birth plan but, if you would like one, your midwife will be able to help.
Discussing a birth plan with your midwife gives you the chance to ask questions and find out more about what happens in labour.
It also gives your midwife the chance to get to know you better, and understand your feelings and priorities, and allows you to think about or discuss some things more fully with your partner, friends and relatives.
You can change your mind about your wishes for labour and birth at any time.
Your personal circumstances
Your birth plan is personal to you. It depends on what you want, your medical history, your circumstances and what is available at your maternity service. What may be safe and practical for one pregnant woman may not be a good idea for another.
You might be given a special form for your birth plan, or there may be room in your notes. It's a good idea to keep a copy of your birth plan with you.
The maternity team who care for you during labour will discuss it with you so they know what you want.
Be flexible
You need to be flexible and prepared to do things differently from your birth plan if complications arise with you or your baby, or if facilities such as a birth pool aren't available.
The maternity team will tell you what they advise in your particular circumstances. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need to.
Things to consider
You can find out more about the things you need to think about when making a birth plan, such as:
- where you can give birth
- pain relief
- forceps or ventouse (intervention or instrumental delivery)
- caesarean section
- your baby after the birth
You can work out whether there's anything you feel strongly about and might wish to include.
You and your partner can also think about what your birth partner can do to support you during labour.

First Look: Mari Vanna Brings Russian Food and Karaoke to Los Angeles
Note: First Looks give previews of new dishes, drinks, and menus we're curious about. Since they are arranged photo shoots and interviews with restaurants, we do not make critical evaluations or recommendations.
Long-awaited Russian restaurant Mari Vanna officially opened in Los Angeles last week. With locations already in New York and Washington D.C., Mari Vanna's Los Angeles branch is setting itself apart with distinctive menu differences. House-infused vodkas, such as pepper, seaberry, and horseradish are a hallmark of the Mari Vanna restaurants. But unique to the Los Angeles location is house-infused tequila, which includes flavors like red pepper, pineapple and mixed berry.
Food-wise, "we try to cater to a more vegetarian and vegan-orientated crowd in Los Angeles," said partner Tatiana Brunetti. "All the chefs at every location are from Russia. They are trained to know how to duplicate recipes using local ingredients." New dishes include Braised Veal with Homemade Noodles ($21) and Svekolnik ($10), a chilled borscht soup with sour cream and diced vegetables, plus desserts like a Napoleon Cake ($10) and Kislitsa ($10), chilled slices of orange-zested cream sprinkled with caramelized nuts.
Perched on Melrose Avenue, the shabby-chic space has a considerable fairytale-esque outdoor area. The white wrought iron gate marks the entrance and birdhouses, flower baskets, and lanterns dangle above the cushioned wicker seating. The overall effect is reminiscent of a rural Russian garden party. Inside, there's a fireplace, a watering can fountain, and a karaoke room.
Check out the photo gallery for snapshots from their opening party and best bites.

Learn about Elizabeth Hemings's descendants.
Learn more about the lives and stories of the Hemings family at our related family history website.
Nance Hemings, the third daughter of Elizabeth Hemings, worked as an enslaved weaver at Monticello. Jefferson inherited her in 1774 from his father-in-law, John Wayles. When head weaver Bartholomew Kindred came to Monticello in 1776, he supervised and trained Hemings in his craft until his departure in 1783. In 1785, Jefferson gave Hemings and her young children, Billy and Critta, to his sister, Anna Scott Jefferson Marks, as a wedding present. But in 1795 Jefferson was "in want of a weaver," and purchased "a woman of the name of Nance," back from Hastings Marks for £60, but did not buy either of her children. Jefferson's son-in-law Thomas Mann Randolph, however, bought Critta for £70. Hemings likely worked in the converted textile workshop. In her spare time, she raised chickens to sell to the Jefferson household; Mary Randolph noted that she bought, "9 chickens & 6 doz eggs from Nance" in 1826. Because the "Woman Nance" was deemed "Worth nothing" when Jefferson's estate was auctioned off in 1827, she passed into the hands of Thomas Mann Randolph.

Get ready to relax in Bundy (as the local's call it). This family-friendly region marks the start of the Southern Great Barrier Reef with undiscovered islands offshore and nesting turtles at Mon Repos on the mainland. Plus, if you're of age, you can take a sip of an Australian favourite at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery.
The Mon Repos Conservation Park, in Bargara, north-east of Bundaberg, is one of Australia's most important turtle breeding sites. See these endangered creatures come ashore to nest on the beaches from November to January, then watch as the babies hatch and make their way to the sea from February to March.
The Southern Great Barrier Reef begins in the clear waters off Bundaberg. Go off the grid at Lady Elliot Island, a remote coral cay with a single eco-friendly resort focused on conservation. Swim with manta rays and turtles that visit the calm waters or learn to scuba dive at one of the island's 20 dive sites.
Bundaberg's rich red soil and sunny skies make for a foodie paradise. Sample famous Bundaberg Rum and Ginger Beer at the local distillery and brewery, and eat your fill of fresh oysters, crab, scallops and fish from the local fishing boats. Sample a huge selection of goodies at the weekly RiverFeast Markets, or time your visit to attend the Bundy Flavours and Winterfeast Farmers Market in July.

In this article
What is a UTI?A urinary tract infection (UTI) is caused when your urinary system becomes infected by bacteria. UTIs are much more common in women than in men. Half of women will have at least one UTI during their lifetime (CKS 2009).
Cystitis, an infection of the bladder, is a common UTI which you're more likely to develop while you're pregnant (NHS Choices 2009).
If left untreated, UTIs can be quite painful and may cause other problems if the infection reaches your kidneys. If a kidney infection is left untreated during pregnancy your baby could have a low birth weight or be born prematurely (Lloyd 2009, CKS 2009). Your kidneys may also become damaged. So you can see why prompt treatment is important.
You're more prone to UTIs during pregnancy due to the changes your body is experiencing. The hormone progesterone relaxes the muscles of the tubes (ureters) that connect your kidneys to your bladder. This slows down the flow of wee from your kidneys to your bladder. As your uterus (womb) enlarges, it has the same effect. As a result, bacteria have more time to grow before they're flushed out.
Symptoms of a UTI in your bladder (cystitis) may include:
- pain or discomfort in your pelvis, the lower part of your tummy, the lower part of your back, or in your side;
- pain or a burning sensation when you wee;
- being unable to wee properly;
- an uncontrollable urge to wee;
- slightly raised temperature;
- frequent need to wee;
- cloudy, bloody, or bad-smelling wee;
- change in the amount of wee you pass (either more or less);
- pain during sex. (CKS 2009)
Signs that the infection has spread to your kidneys may include:
- a high temperature of 38 degrees C or above;
- constant pain in your back, pelvis or side;
- shaking and shivering;
- nausea and vomiting;
- diarrhoea;
- feeling hot and cold by turns. (Lloyd 2009, CKS 2009, Vasquez and Villar 2011)
I often have UTIs. What happens if I get one while I'm pregnant?Your doctor will test your urine for the presence of bacteria and will prescribe antibiotics, if appropriate. Antibiotics are effective and most are safe to take if you develop a UTI in pregnancy (Lloyd 2009, CKS 2009, Vasquez and Villar 2011). You will usually be prescribed a course which will need to be taken for between three days and seven days.
If you have an underlying infection, such as a severe kidney infection (pyelitis), you may be admitted to hospital for intravenous antibiotics. These will give you the dose you need, straight into your body through your vein, to clear up your infection.
If you have repeated UTIs you may need to take a low dose of antibiotics for a longer period of time. You can take paracetamol to relieve your pain and fever when pregnant. But talk to your doctor as soon as you notice any symptoms.
If antibiotics don't help, you may have an ultrasound scan so the doctor can view your bladder and kidneys.
If you have repeated UTIs that antibiotics don't clear up, your doctor may recommend a cystoscopy. During this procedure, a urologist places a thin instrument (cystoscope) with a light and a camera at one end through your urethra and into your bladder. Your urologist will use a numbing gel around the opening to your urethra, so the most you will feel is mild discomfort.
What can I do to avoid getting an infection?Taking the following precautions should reduce your chance of getting a UTI:
- After going to the toilet, wipe yourself from front to back to prevent bacteria from your back passage being spread to your front passage (urethra).
- Wash between your legs every day.
- Don't use strong soaps, scented bubble baths, shower gels, douches, antiseptic creams or feminine hygiene products. These may destroy the good bacteria and irritate your urinary tract.
- Empty your bladder completely when you go to the toilet.
- Go to the toilet soon after having sex.
- Avoid long or very frequent baths and have showers instead.
- Wear cotton knickers and loose clothes, rather than tight jeans and trousers. It's also best not to wear tights, but if you do wear them, put on clean ones daily.
- Change your underwear every day.
- Treat constipation as soon as possible.
- Drink plenty, especially water.
What you eat or drink, for example spicy food, may make your cystitis worse. Steer clear of these triggers for a while and see if it makes a difference (NHS 2009, CKS 2009).
You could try drinking cranberry juice if you suffer from repeated UTIs. Cranberry juice may reduce levels of bacteria in the urinary tract, and prevent new bacteria from taking hold.
Studies have found that women who drank cranberry juice, or took cranberry supplements, didn't have as many recurring infections over the course of a year (Jepson and Craig 2008). The women were given the equivalent of about one or two glasses of cranberry juice every day, either in tablet or liquid form.
However a separate study found that cranberry juice had no effect on how many infections women had over the course of six months (Barbosa-Cesnick et al 2011). So there is still some doubt about its effectiveness.
There's no evidence that cranberry juice can cure a UTI once the infection has already taken hold (CKS 2009).
The good news is that if you are prescribed antibiotics, your symptoms will probably improve after the first day of taking them.

Editor's note: CNN contributor Hilary Rosen is the political director and Washington editor at large of HuffingtonPost.com, which describes itself as an Internet newspaper and focuses on politics from a liberal point of view. A longtime Democratic adviser, Rosen is a former CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America. This column by Rosen, a former Clinton supporter, is one of a series of commentary pieces on CNN.com from Democrats and Republicans attending party conventions.
Hillary Rosen says Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign connected with women who have to juggle multiple roles.
DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Is there a score higher than an A+? I have heard about a hundred speeches by Sen. Hillary Clinton. Tuesday night's speech in Denver was a clarion call filled with power and grace.
Hillary's job at the Democratic National Convention was a big one. She had to make a strong and compelling case to any of her recalcitrant supporters for the election of Sen. Barack Obama.
She had to express her deep appreciation for all those who supported her in this campaign but not too much appreciation so that people would think she was trying to keep them to herself.
And finally she had to describe the stakes in this election and the choices we face, particularly for American families. But she had do it in a way that was not threatening to Obama but rather would be seen as amplifying his message.
And she had to do it all in 23 minutes (including applause). For weeks, people will make comments about what she should have or shouldn't have said.
But Tuesday night she was strong and compassionate, comforting and combative, deeply intelligent and extremely charming. She did everything she needed to achieve for a united party and a dignified conclusion to her campaign for her supporters. I think she gave the speech of her life.
Clinton's journey broke barriers on several levels. Yet it also gave us some real insights about the road ahead. We cannot try to replicate how men got ahead in politics, but must be open and heartfelt about the special qualities that we as women bring to public office.
Yes, it is true, she not so silently admitted, that in the beginning she was trying to avoid running as a "woman." She thought she needed to prove she was commander-in-chief material. But instead in the last and more successful months of her campaign, her message evolved.
She realized that what people wanted was to connect with someone who understood their daily lives. They saw in her a woman who understands the complexities of life as a mother, a daughter, a wife and a worker all at the same time -- the glue in other people's lives. Whether it was about health care, education or knowing a soldier in the war, women needed to tell her their stories. She would nod knowingly because she understood them.
From the waitress in the diner to the schoolteacher to the executive on Wall Street, women feel the daily slights that are often invisible to others. Many of Clinton's supporters needed real and immediate help from the government, but so many more are just grateful to be noticed.
Her campaign was for every woman who has spoken up in a meeting and was greeted with silence, only to have a man say the same thing and be praised. It was for the mothers who are taking care of their children and their parents and their home and have no time to take care of themselves.
And yes folks, it resonated for all the women who have seen the younger guy come along and get the promotion, even though she has worked in the company loyally for years.
Because she connected with women on this level, she has forever changed women's role in politics. So, after Hillary is done having to be the Democratic Party's therapist, what are we left with?
Where do women really stand now in the Democratic Party, in politics and in the governance fabric of our country?
First, some statistics:
And most important of all, Rep. Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House. Clinton goes back to the Senate to join her 15 colleagues with more to come.
That is a lot of power.
We have moved to the next step. That means that we no longer count firsts, we count what counts -- which is wins. Hillary Clinton's candidacy is important not only as a milestone. It is important as a beacon of expectation, not just hope. The expectation that comes with knowing that we are not waiting in line, we are in the race.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the writer.

Video: IP addresses and privacy explained
How to change your IP addressand hide your location
It's very easy to hide or change your IP address. All you need is a VPN (virtual private network).
A VPN will switch your IP address by virtually placing you in a different location. When you use a VPN, your internet traffic is routed through an encrypted tunnel so that no one, not even your ISP, can see what you're doing online.
A VPN will make it seem like you are in the same place as the server location. For example, if you are in the U.S. and you connect to a VPN location in the UK, you will appear to be in the UK.
There are many advantages to using a VPN to hide your IP:
- A VPN conceals your real location.
- A VPN encrypts your internet data so you can go online with more security.
- A VPN allows you to easily switch between virtual locations, giving you a fuller internet experience, unfettered by censorship or other firewall restrictions.
What is an IP address?
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a unique number assigned to all devices (such as a computer, tablet, or phone) when they connect to the internet.
IPv4 vs. IPv6 addresses
Two versions of Internet Protocol are now in use, IP Version 4 (IPv4) and IP Version 6 (IPv6). They have two primary functions: identification and location addressing.
The main difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the number of possible addresses. IPv4 only allows for about 4 billion, because it uses just 32 bits. IPv6 was introduced in 1995 to ensure that the world would not run out anytime soon: IPv6 uses 128 bits, resulting in 3.4 x 1038 possible addresses.
You can't go online without a public IP address
To use the internet, all connected devices must have a public IP address. An IP address allows two devices—the sender and recipient of internet communications—to find and exchange information with each other.
The setup is similar to real-life address systems. For example, if you were to subscribe to a magazine, the magazine distributor (the sender) would need your address to send you (the recipient) your copies. Without your address, the distributors wouldn't know where to send the magazine.
The same applies to the internet. Without an IP address, two devices would not be able to find and exchange information with each other.
Public vs. private IP addresses
Unlike public IP addresses, private IP addresses are used by private networks to identify and share information among computers and devices (like printers) that aren't directly connected to the internet.
Each computer or device in your home network has a unique private IP address so it can communicate with all the others, but nothing outside of the local network can see them or establish a connection.
Your router assigns a private IP address to everything on your home network via the DHCP protocol. Certain ranges of numbers are only available for use as a private IP address.
What your IP address can reveal about you and your location
Your IP address reveals some pretty in-depth information about your location:
- City
- Country
- State/Province
- ZIP/Postal code
The websites you visit can gather even more information about you. By combining your IP address with other information gleaned from metadata, cookies, trackers, and browser-fingerprinting tactics, website owners, marketers, and advertisers can build quite a thorough profile about you.
They can piece together your location, what websites you're visiting, what you're interested in, what files you're torrenting, who you're communicating with, etc., and present you with targeted content and advertisements—or sell your data to the highest bidder.
ISPs are privy to even more information. There is very little about you that your ISP doesn't know. Because you're a customer, it knows your name, address, phone number, credit card number, bank account details, credit history, and potentially even more.
In countries like Australia and the UK, ISPs are required to maintain logs of your browsing activity and hand them over to countless government agencies without a warrant. If you're browsing websites that aren't HTTPS-secured, your ISP can see the individual unencrypted webpages you're visiting.
Even if you're browsing websites that are HTTPS-secured, your ISP can still monitor the domains you're visiting (but not the individual pages).
Using ExpressVPN for a private connection
ExpressVPN operates 3,000+ servers in 94 countries to provide a truly free and private internet experience.
A strict policy to keep no activity and no connection logs ensures that no one can see what you browse online, and best-in-class 256-bit encryption means your data is as secure as it can be.
If you're worried about what people can see about you online, ExpressVPN can start protecting you now.

USCIS Launches Website Improvements
October 30, 2013
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today launched a redesigned website available in both English and Spanish. The website upgrades seek to provide customers with a simplified and user-friendly experience thanks to improved navigation menus, a tools section that helps customers complete certain electronic transactions, and a home page with a banner that rotates time-sensitive information and alerts as well as a larger search bar. Visa petitioners familiar with the layout of the previous home page may wish to note that the link to check on a case status has moved from the upper left corner to a more prominent position below the rotating banner.

When I think back to my childhood, I remember a drink my mum would make us as a special treat. My parents were very strict with sugar intake so chocolate, sweets & fizzy drinks were a once-a-week delight to look forward to. As was this…
Coke mixed with milk!
And not any milk but gold top, full fat, milk. Mixed in equal portions and blitzed in the blender with ice! Delicious! The week would feel so long as I would be waiting anxiously for the days to pass and Sunday to arrive so I could indulge in this marvel of an invention. 😋
Funny thing is, I tried it a little while ago and couldn't stomach it! In fact, it gave me a belly ache! The only difference between my recipe and my mum's, was the milk used. Instead of gold top (which is hard to come by nowadays), I used blue top, could that make such a huge difference? Or is it the simple saying – nothing tastes as good as your mum's cooking?
Another strange thing – my cooking tastes nothing like my mums! Even if I follow her recipes to a tee and considering I've learnt to cook from her, something is always different… Again, is it just mum's cooking? Is the special ingredient – Mum's LOVE?
Very Baffled!
What do you guys think? Do you believe your mother's cooking is the best? Or can you match her in the kitchen?
Also, I would love to hear about any special recipes you remember from your childhood. Maybe it's still your favourite or like me, maybe you can't tolerate it anymore.
I look forward to hearing from you…
Suki… X!

Video: NASA Chief: One of the Foremost Tasks Obama Gave Me was to Make Muslims "Feel Good" About Themselves…
July 5th, 2010
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden explains what Obama has charged him with doing as the head of NASA.
Foremost on that list…?
"to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering"
Obama's new mission for NASA?
Make Muslims feel good about themselves…
Guess exploring space by launching off of exploding tin cans at thousands of miles per hour wasn't "cool" enough for Obama.

I'll be live-tweeting the high points today @CoyoteGulch. Twitter users are using hash tag #2013cwc.
From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
Drought and wildfires are at the top of the list of concerns for state lawmakers and water leaders.
Nearly everyone who spoke at the annual convention of the Colorado Water Congress touched on the topics Thursday morning. More than 500 attended. "Drought has an impact on water quality," said Steve Gunderson, director of the Colorado Water Quality Control Division. "Wildfire has a catastrophic impact on water quality."
One-fifth of the state's 250 public water systems were affected by last year's wildfires, and the watersheds that supply them will take years to recover. "Last summer was a nightmare, and next year could be worse," Gunderson said.
State Engineer Dick Wolfe said the recent storms that left snow in the mountains raised the snowpack to 76 percent, up from 62 percent one week ago. "We need 130 percent for the rest of the season to get to average," Wolfe said. "But we need to get to 20 percent to 30 percent above average to make up for dry soil." That isn't likely to happen, according to the longterm forecast.
That could make things difficult for state parks and wildlife. "Without water, we don't have a revenue stream," Cables said. "We don't have a grand plan." State lawmakers also addressed the Colorado Water Congress, explaining several bills that finetune state water laws, including measures that would encourage agriculture efficiency, create guidelines for using "gray water," prevent federal "taking" of skiarea water rights and provide more mitigation for wildfires.
State Sen. Gail Schwartz praised Gov. John Hickenlooper's announcement Wednesday that $10.3 million in state money will be made available for wildfire mitigation designed to clear more than 4 million acres of standing timber. There were strong sentiments from lawmakers to protect agricultural ownership of water rights.
"We in the urban areas of Colorado can use water in the most efficient way so we don't buy up and dry up agriculture," said state Rep. Randy Fisher, chairman of the state House ag committee.

Yes, we know this is old news, but it's still quite important. And we just didn't get round to writing anything about it. So here it is, belatedly - the news that there's a new Lambchop album on the way, released on February 20 through City Slang. It's called Mr. M.
There is an album teaser which you can watch below, as well as a free download of the record's opening track, 'If Not I'll Just Die'.
Lambchop's Kurt Wagner tells us about the record:
As I worked, I was approached by Mark Nevers (former full time band member & producer for the likes of Andrew Bird and Will Oldham) with the idea of making another Lambchop record. He had a concept of a sound and a method that worked with the tone of my writing. His idea was a kind of 'psycha-Sinatra' sound, one that involved the arranging of strings and other sounds in a more open and yet complex way.
It was a studio creation, not a type of recording based on band performance, and this was a radical approach for us. I felt Lambchop had one more good record in us, and this time I was going to do things as directly and true to my desires as possible."
You can catch Lambchop in March next year, supporting the album. Full tour dates for UK and Ireland below:
1 - London, Barbican
3 - Dublin, Vicar´s Street
4 - Gateshead, Sage
5 - Glasgow, Oran Mor
6 - Manchester, Cathedral

FRA approves Marquette Rail's product safety planWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The Federal Railroad Administration approved Marquette Rail, LLC's Product Safety Plan (PSP), allowing the railroad to use RailSoft Systems Inc.'s TrackAccess Track Reservation System in the autonomous mode.
Marquette Rail now operates a controlled track railroad without a dispatcher or controller. In accordance with regulations, TrackAccess was required to prove that its system of track control was safer than the system it replaced, a manual Track Warrant Control (TWC) system. Critical to the process was the completion of a Fault Tree Analysis, to compare the risk associated with TrackAccess to that of the replaced TWC system.
Transportation Technology Center, Inc., (TTCI) performed the analysis and concluded that the hazardous event rate for a manual TWC system was between eight and 24 times higher than the rate for the TrackAccess system, showing TrackAccess provides a significant safety improvement.
A subsequent evaluation by TTCI indicated that TrackAccess is also substantially safer than a computer aided TWC system. The FRA approval allows TrackAccess to be deployed in autonomous mode on U.S. railroads, which have an approved Railroad Safety Program Plan (RSPP) and Track Access PSP.

PHOENIX - The self-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" joined forces this weekend with action movie star Steven Seagal to train volunteer armed posse members to defend Phoenix-area schools against gunmen.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced the controversial plan in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting that left 27 people dead, including the gunman and 20 first-graders.
The exercise took place Saturday at a closed school site in suburban Fountain Hills, outside Phoenix, where sheriff's SWAT members acted as shooters and teenagers played the part of students during mock scenarios involving up to three gunmen.
Seagal, best known for his roles in movies such as "Above the Law" and "Under Siege," planned to lead training on hand-to-hand defense tactics, among other techniques, drawing from his expertise in martial arts, according to a sheriff's office news release.
Arpaio's office didn't respond to requests for comment Friday and Saturday, and Seagal representatives also did not return telephone messages from The Associated Press.
When faced with criticism in January about the school posse plan, Arpaio snapped back, "Why would people complain about my posse being in front of schools to act as prevention?"
He boldly announced the plan on the grounds of an elementary school, saying at the time he wanted the patrols publicized.
"I want everyone to know about it for the deterrence effect," Arpaio said, adding that no taxpayer money would be spent on the patrols and volunteers will be supervised over the radio or telephone by actual deputies.
Arizona Democratic House Minority Leader Chad Campbell called the plan to use Seagal as an instructor "ludicrous."
"Steve Seagal is an actor. That's it. Why don't we also have Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis come out and train them too while we're at it," Campbell said.
Campbell has been a vocal critic of Arpaio's school posse protection plan, complaining that using untrained, armed civilians to protect students is a bad idea and likely will only make the facilities more dangerous.
"He's making a mockery out of it. You're having a movie actor train people how to protect schools?" Campbell said.
Randy Parraz, president of Citizens for a Better Arizona, also a longtime Arpaio critic, said it's unfortunate the sheriff, known nationally for his tough stance on illegal immigration, is using the "wake of a tragedy like Newtown" to grab headlines.
"We'd like to think he would take something like this much more seriously," said Parraz, who added that his group planned to be at Saturday's event with petitions to recall Arpaio.
The patrols were launched at 59 schools in January throughout unincorporated areas and communities that pay Arpaio's agency for police services. The sheriff announced this week he needs more members to continue the patrols, calling for 1,000 additional citizens to step up and volunteer.
Current posse members already are used to bolster the sheriff's office force by providing police protection at malls during the holidays, directing traffic and transporting people to jail.
Arpaio even sent one group of posse members to Hawaii to conduct an examination into the authenticity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate.
Joselyn Wells, a mother of three children at a school in suburban Phoenix, where Arpaio's posse has begun patrolling, said she was excited to hear about the initiative.
"A lot of people sit around and watch these things happen, watch key signs and no one wants to do anything about it," she said when Arpaio announced the plan. "Nobody wants conflict, nobody wants to be out in the limelight. And he doesn't care. He wants to do the right thing."
Andrew Sanchez, however, a town council member in Guadalupe, said he wants nothing to do with posse members patrolling schools in his community, which spends about $1.2 million annually for Maricopa County sheriff's patrols.
"We are paying him to have certified deputies here, not to bring a circus and not to use our town as a political platform," Sanchez has said.
The volunteers, dressed in uniforms and driving patrol vehicles, some authorized to carry guns after training, won't go onto school grounds unless they spot danger, but will instead patrol around the facilities, Arpaio said.
Seagal is already a volunteer posse member in Maricopa County and has been deputized with sheriff's offices in New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana, where a film crew followed the actor on ride-alongs with Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies for the reality TV show "Steven Seagal: Lawman."
Arpaio says other notable people also have joined his more than 3,000-strong volunteer armed posse, including "The Incredible Hulk" star Lou Ferrigno and actor Peter Lupus of TV's "Mission: Impossible."
