Illuminance, By Rinko Kawauchi
Sunday 26 June 2011
A decade on from the debut release of three books, Utatane, Hanabi and Hanako – all lauded for their subtle use of palette and off-hand compositional mastery – Illuminance is Rinko Kawauchi's first book published outside Japan.
It continues her exploration of the extraordinary in the mundane and the seemingly inadvertent organisation of the natural world into formal patterns. This clothbound volume of mostly hitherto unpublished images testifies to her unique sensibility.

Corey Frierson has been on the run since Christmas. The FBI says thats when he and two other masked men robbed a Country Club Hills bank, armed with uzi's.
Since he was profiled on Chicago's Most Wanted in March, Frierson has had a few brushes with the law.
Based on viewer tips, the FBI's Ross Rice says agents tracked Frierson to Lexington, Mississippi. They believe he was hiding out there because he has friends and family in the area.
When a local police officer recently stopped a person who they described as a "suspicous individual," Rice says that person turned out to be Frierson. As the police officer was checking his i-d, Frierson left his vehicle and disappearred in to the woods. Rice also says Frierson's i-d was a fake Ohio drivers license where he was a fake name: Christopher Redmond. They also say Frierson now has a shaved his head; he used to have dread locks.
While in Mississippi, agents learned that Frierson has made threats to kill police officers. As a result, the FBI has now increased the reward for information leading to his arrest to 20-thousand dollars.
Here is a detailed description of what Frierson looks like. He's described as a black male, about six feet tall, weighing around 200 pounds, with a light complexion and freckles.
He is considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, call police.
You can also call the FBI at (312) 421-6700.

JACKSON. MS. — The semifinals and the finals of the Class A MAIS Tennis Tournament were held last week in Jackson, MS, at the Ridgeland Tennis Complex.
The winners and the runner-ups in each of the nine divisions of competition from both the North A and the South A Tournaments filled the 'draw' for the championships. By virtue of their having won the South A titles, Amelia Christy and Catherine Willis were matched with the runner-ups from the North A in the semi-finals. "This was a new experience for both girls. The pre-court time was filled with nervousness, yet anxiousness, mixed with a degree of the unknown. My advice to each of them was to play 'your' game, take advantage of unforced errors, focus/concentrate, and have fun," noted coach Wayne Orr.Subscribe to Read!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by AMack Great Gift I got these as a father's day gift for my dad. He is 61 and wore Gazelle's exclusively when I was a kid. He was so happy to get them. They fit the same and are as a great shoe. He was disappointed at the colors they were offered in this time around though. July 7, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by bodog Too Narrow of Shoes I am a loyal ADIDAS shoe purchaser and it's not my first purchase online. I am displease with this shoe because it's so narrow. If they are going to make shoes this narrow, they should let the online public know. I hope they can come up with some solution on this problem because I purchased 3 shoes on this online order and they were all narrow. Give us the option on a E, EE or EEE on or shoes if you are going to continue with this make of style. Or I may have to change shoe brand. October 25, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5Â by paisan work of art I don't know how anyone could use this shoe for soccer. It's too beautiful. I know I know - it is SO cliche for me to say it. But here I go saying it: this shoe along with the black, is an absolute work of art. It's beauty is in its simplicity. The navy suede absorbs the light so well that it would be a crime to wear with anything other than worn jeans. I have received only two compliments on it, both of them emphatic and earnest. But that is exactly what I want. I want people to look at my ensemble and think, "something is really cool about the vintage t-shirt and jeans, but there's something else going on and I can't quite place it." The design seems perfect 70's, especially the toe. I wish the tongue wasn't "plastic" but it makes for a nice effect as background for the laces. The contrast between the iconic white stripes, that lead the eyes from the sole to the laces, and the dark swede is bright and vivid. The shoe is indeed comfortable but at first it took sometime to get used to the narrow feel of the shoe. I wear 10 1/2 to 11. The 11 felt significantly more comfortable so I recommend erring on the side of too long. May 9, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Bono my gazelles I love Adidas shoes have been wearing them for years.Love the comfort and always classic style. My only negative is my recent purchase I had to purchase online since no one in Colorado carries the classic Gazelle. I had been looking for them for sometime and was told try here you had them shipped them promptly ...but having to buy with out trying on I think I would have gotten a 1/2 size bigger. thats it . Thanks Lloyd May 31, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by de-midfield Long Lasting Shoes Strong, well build quality is great, look little wied a first but get better with age great for indoor soccer, as well as everyday shoes. May 1, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5Â by jackt A little on the narrow side. I think I have a wide foot though. I wear them without socks and they are fine. September 20, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by GibsonSG First they are very nice looking shoes, a little more Royal/ light blue than the picture shows, but still very neat shoes. I've gotton many compliments on how nice they are, and its true they are a bit snug but when you get them just pull out the back and sides of them to break them in. Also they do squeek for a couple days however its not very loud, you cant really hear them in the halls at school or a resturant. So until thats corrected they will remain good, but otherwise could be worth an excellant rating. Also if the zigzag adidas lines down the side were straight they wouldn't fray so easily. January 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bigkel Classic I have been wearing Gazelle's for over 35 years. I have had over 20 pair. Very comfortable. Would like to see Adidas bring back some of the other colors and combinations. May 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by beckstrat Finally got my Gazelles back! In 1975 I was singing in a choir in Philly. I had two pair of Gazelles. A red one and a blue one. I left them in a hotel and wanted a pair ever since then. I don't shop for shoes for often, but when I did, I would ask if they had Gazelles. They never did. In fact, most of the stores had never heard of them. I heard adidas stopped making them for a while. On a recent birthday I looked on line for them and low and behold, there they were. Bought 'em, Love 'em. I feel like singing. Thanks March 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mine Perfect I wanted to get a pair of these for a while, except there isn't anywhere around that sells them. I went to a place that sold Sambas and tried them on. I ordered the same size in Gazelles, received them a couple days later and they fit great. No issues. I would like to see some different colors in suede. Green, red, grey, would really like to have a pair of orange and white suede. It would also be nice to see the cost of the custom made colors go down. September 27, 2012

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff have signed one-year contract extensions through the 2016 season.
Also, the Falcons announced Monday President Rich McKay signed a four-year extension through May 2019.
McKay, who chairs the NFL's competition committee, will continue to serve as chief executive officer of the Falcons while leading the development and operation of the team's new stadium, scheduled to open in 2017.
Dimitroff and Smith each came to the Falcons before the 2008 season. The Falcons are 60-36 under their leadership, including a 4-12 finish in 2012.
Financial terms of the new deals were not released.

Melissa's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
I'm a die hard hockey fan! Favorite NHL is the Chicago Blackhawks because when I first started liking hockey they had the cutest players! That counts as a pretty valid reason to like a team, right?
What's your favorite movie quote?
I could quote Dumb & Dumber start to finish. "You had an extra pair of gloves this entire time?" "YEAH! It's the Rockies!"
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
I like to keep it pretty old school! Nintendo 64 Mario Cart!
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Nothing too exciting. My ears are double pierced. However, if I ever get the nerve I would LOVE to rock a full sleeve.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
I should be embarrassed but its a guilty pleasure. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua
What's your best party trick?
I am a three time world champion at LouisVille Chugger. Guys are usually pretty impressed with that one!
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"You look a lot like my future ex girlfriend."
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I worked as a personal assistant for a business man in Portland, Oregon. Most days I felt like I was taking care of a three year old in a grown mans body. I practically had to tie his shoes for him. It was awful.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
On an excursion in the Bahamas my family and I swam with real live stingrays. We even got to feed them out of our hands and hold them. It was quite the experience!
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Late night munchies are my biggest weakness. Anything greasy and loaded with calories would hit the spot! KFC would be a great stop.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Its pretty empty right now. But I have an odd amount of onions and salsa right now.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I've done my fair share of skinny dipping-- when its warm out of course! A dares a dare!
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
Stilettos! There is something about 5 inch heels that can make a woman feel so sexy and powerful!
Tell us a joke.
What do you tell Simba when he's moving too slow? Mufasa!

Check out our guest blogger Logan Stewart's thoughts on Postcard From Morocco. What did you think? Tell us here, on Facebook or Twitter.
***Spoiler alert
Dominick Argento's opera Postcard From Morocco is truly a standout this season at Portland Opera. This witty and whimsical production lightened the season after the emotionally gripping tragic operas Salome by Richard Strauss and Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti. Postcard From Morocco was a joy to watch and highlighted the talents of Portland Opera's Resident Artists.
Unlike other operas, Postcard from Morocco does not have a plot to follow. The opera takes place in the waiting room of a train station where seven passengers wait with their luggage and a personal item for their departure: Lady with a Hand Mirror, Lady with a Cake Box, Lady with a Hat Box, Man with Old Luggage, Man with a Cornet Case, Man with a Shoe Sample Kit, and Man with a Paint Box. These four men and three women (who have supposedly never met before) try to pass the time with chitchat while snooping into the luggage of the other passengers. Each are eager to talk about themselves superficially, but when asked to open their luggage, they clam up, refusing to reveal anything too intimate. It is not until the end of the opera when the Man with a Paint Box opens his luggage, and reveals a tiny replica of the room in which they are standing.

With the President expected to provide his signature on Friday....we are are now starting to hear about the good ...the bad and the ugly aspects of the Agricultural Act of 2014. The nearly 1,000 page bill with close to a trillion dollar price tag is being criticized for still being too costly. Although The agricultural portion of the bill makes up less than 20% of the total cost...and the bill is projected to reduce the deficit by nearly 23 billion dollars.
The new law will repeal direct payments..which were criticized, since farmers received them if they needed them or not.... and now will be replaced by risk management tools such as crop insurance and the new dairy margin insurance. As I mentioned in an earlier blog the margin insurance is a voluntary program where producers will be able to select margin protection (which is the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost) at 50 cent increments beginning at $4 per cwt. through $8 per cwt. Fees are slightly different for operations that produce below and above 4 million pounds of milk. There is also an annual administrative fee of $100.... You can cover anywhere between 25 and up to 90% of your milk production..and there is no supply management element in the plan,
The new law will also streamline the number of conservation programs while strengthening conservation efforts to protect our soil and water. It invests more in research for product development..while boosting export opportunities. It supports beginning farmers..local farmer markets and organic food opportunities. It does maintain the controversial country of origin labeling law for meat products. It also support rural development .... provides promotional and research support for the Christmas tree industry and bio energy production.
As a compromise.... no one is going to be totally pleased but just the fact that a new 5 year bill could be passed is in itself.... a positive story.

Housecalls—Lowdown on Canola Oil, Bee Venom Therapy, Getting Rid of Warts
Canola Conundrum
Q I've been hearing that certain types of canola oil aren't healthy—can you clarify?
A There's a lot of misinformation out there about this oil. Canola oil, made from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, is low in saturated fat and contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), one of the health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids. But it's not uncommon for the makers of supermarket brands to use petroleum-based chemicals to extract the oil from the seeds. Such oils are also heated during the refining process, which reduces their level of omega-3s.
The other worry about canola is basically groundless. Some versions of the rapeseed plant do contain erucic acid, which can be toxic, but this substance has been almost entirely bred out of the plants used to make canola oil today.
Your best bet is to choose an organic version that's labeled "cold pressed" and that contains more than 20 percent ALA.
Cold pressing uses a mechanical press to squeeze the oil, generating less heat and leaving more of the omega-3s intact. By choosing organic, you avoid genetically modified organisms, since organic oils can't come from such seeds.
One caveat: Canola oil produced this way has a lower "smoke point," so you shouldn't use it for high-temperature cooking like stir-frying; not only will it taste bitter, it can break down and cause damaging free radicals to form. (Grapeseed oil is a better choice.)
Humdinger Pain Helper
Q Can bee venom therapy help with my arthritis?
A It just might. Formal research on this topic is scant, but there's a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest that bee venom can indeed make a difference for both osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. "Bee venom contains several anti-inflammatory compounds," says physician Andrew Kochan, director of the Kochan Institute for Healing Arts Research in Encino, California. "It has one particular agent that's a hundred times more powerful than hydrocortisone." Happily, stinging isn't required; most practitioners inject a bee venom solution into the skin instead. Kochan says his arthritis patients start getting relief after just a couple of treatments.
You should be prepared, though, for the same minor side effects that come from being stung by a bee, namely swelling, itchiness, and redness. (Anyone allergic to bee or wasp stings, of course, should steer clear.) Finding a practitioner who uses bee venom therapy may take some legwork, as it's not widely available. For more information, contact the American Apitherapy Society at www.apitherapy.org .
Warts Begone
Q Are there simple ways to get rid of warts?
A Most warts are harmless and eventually go away on their own, but most of us would prefer not to wait around. A physician can freeze them off with liquid nitrogen; you can freeze them at home with a new over-the-counter product called Wartner; or you can use an OTC salicylic acid product. But these treatments can require several rounds, and sometimes sting or leave you with blisters.

By Robin SchwartzFox 2 NewsWARREN, Mich. (WJBK) -- It's not quite a holiday portrait, but a mug shot is how Dr. Nana Mimura will remember her Christmas week travels. The 45-year-old internist from Troy was arrested at the airport in Fort Myers, Florida Thursday after her Spirit Airlines flight home was canceled and officials said she started screaming and swearing at ticket agents before she was handcuffed on the ground."We just don't know where this was coming from inside of her. We do not know what burst that lid open for her to go into this place of anger and then rage," said Farmington Hills psychologist Dr. Toni Kaplan.She said it is a given that holiday travel can be stressful with large crowds and unpredictable weather, but she said Mimura's alleged reaction to a canceled flight was not typical."It seems like an overreaction. It sounds like an exaggerated response to a situation that perhaps did not warrant it."No one wanted to talk at Schoenherr Medical Associates where Mimura works. We're told she posted $2,000 bond and was released from a Florida jail.Mimura also works with Warren Radiology on Schoenherr. She was traveling with her husband at the time of her arrest.Spirit Airlines told the story this way. "The customer and her husband requested a refund rather than waiting until the afternoon flight, which we provided. She then started causing a disturbance. When police were called in, she was escorted away.""The first thing in calming is always to breathe because when you're stressed, your breath becomes shortened, quick, fast paced," Kaplan said.The doctor advises travelers to expect the unexpected during this busy travel time.Mimura is charged with disorderly conduct.

So precious...oh, the fun you are going to have through the years.
So precious...oh, the fun you are going to have through the years.
ok lets see...i have several favorites is that ok?
This is when Landon was very little (he is 2 now). I like it beacuse this is my first "creative" photo of him. This is when i started my photography business.
I like this one because this was the first time i tryed to do somethign "big" and experiment with what i can and cant do. Later on it became my "signiture" photo for my friends. They all wanted that same photo for their's kids Easter pic. The chocolate all over him was not chocolate all..it was Gerber prunes. My husband was cutting bunny's ears as if the baby was eating it. So dont worry, guys, the baby didnt get any of that!! just prunes.
This one too...I promise the last one! This is my fave because i learned i can make a flower hat and make it a good photo with it =)

A Tantalizing Glimpse Into the Kitchen of the World's Best Restaurant
Even in the restaurant business, where trends seem to be born in the time it takes to boil an egg, the rise of the Copenhagen restaurant Noma can only be described as a gastronomic sensation. Launched seven years ago, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant achieved the ultimate recognition this April, topping S.Pellegrino's list of the World's Best Restaurants for 2010. Its charismatic head chef, René Redzepi (still in his early 30s), previously worked in the kitchen of renowned restaurants such as The French Laundry in the US and Spain's El Bulli, before taking the risk of opening Noma in an elegantly refurbished warehouse on the waterfront of Copenhagen's Christianshavn district. Redzepi's critics took some convincing, given his radically different approach to haute gastronomy: instead of the caviar and foie gras frenzy one typically finds on the menu at high-end outfits, his modus operandi is to offer guests a sense of time and place by only serving seasonal ingredients from the Nordic region, like sorrel, puffin eggs and musk ox. This goes hand in hand with the established manifesto for the New Nordic Kitchen—which, above all, advocates an uncompromising respect for ingredients—drawn up in 2004 by Redzepi and Claus Meyer, co-founder of Noma. With Redzepi taking a leading position worldwide in encouraging chefs to reevaluate "going local," Noma has long overcome the skepticism with which it was initially met, and now serves some of the most innovative and refined cuisine in the world. NOWNESS sent photographer Joss McKinley to capture Noma's chefs preparing such delicacies as smoked bone marrow fudge and tartar of ox, for diners that have waited up to three months for their coveted seat at Redzepi's table.

Hockeytown is heading north for training -- but some of its citizens are taking time-outs along the way for some community good will.Detroit Red Wings players, including goaltender Jimmy Howard and forward Patrick Eaves, on Tuesday stopped at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township near Mount Clemens to meet troops and sign autographs."Our fans, no matter where we're at, always come out and pull for us and I think we all feel it's necessary to give back," said Howard.
Click the video player to hear more from Howard.Other groups of players were scheduled to make stops across Michigan's Lower Peninsula en route to the team's annual training camp in Traverse City.Stops include Bronson's Children Hospital in Kalamazoo and the Michigan State Police Training Academy in Lansing. Players also will visit schools in Frankenmuth and Mount Pleasant, and the Coast Guard station in Grand Haven.

Oak Park police responded to Forgotten Harvest after the call came in that a car belonging to a student volunteer was missing."The receptionist behind the desk even said, 'Well, she had the key, and she hit the alarm.' So they watched her open the young lady's car and get in it," Shariece Cooper explained.Cooper is a member of the student government at Bradford Academy High School. The whole student government was volunteering as part of a service project. They put all of their belongings in one car. Cooper said they were all just following directions.
"I feel violated because my prom stuff was in that purse.... My phone, my wallet, my I.D., my money, it was in the purse," she said. "Whoever stole it had to go through the pockets of the stuff that was in the building to get the keys to get into the car with our stuff."Students believe that the thief was a volunteer. The doors to Forgotten Harvest are locked. Even Fox 2 has to be buzzed into the building.Susan Goodall with Forgotten Harvest said the nonprofit is cooperating with police."I am deeply distressed that something like this would happen in an organization that works so hard to do good in the community. I mean, it's unconceivable that it would happen anywhere, but that it would happen in a place like this is just unconscionable," she said.Police said the car was later located at a house in Detroit and a suspect was arrested. The students will be getting their belongings back.

Those are awesome crafts, Molly! I really wish that I could be so creative with crafts like that. Maybe one of these days I'll try it but I don't think I have the concentration level for it!

I LOVE that quilt!!!!!!
We went to Tahoe for the weekend because I had a conference. Dh came along with the twins, and Grandma stayed at our house to take care of Soren for his first nights without us. We took the long way up there to stop and do a cave tour. Dh's camera is broken so I gave him my camera to use on Saturday and told him to take some pictures of the twins in the beautiful scenery for my blog. As you may or may not know, he is an excellent and practiced photographer. He took NO pictures. He said, "It is just too difficult managing two children and taking pictures as well."
I met someone who is hiring people like me only a few miles away, so I'm going to dust off my resume (I haven't updated it in 14 years) and send it in. I think it may not pay as much, but it's worth checking out.
Very pretty quilting!
L, that is a good idea to dust off the resume. Never hurts to send it out and less pay (if it is less pay) might be worth having the commute gone.
That sucks that he didn't take pictures. Did they like the cave? We have a couple by me and I really like going on them....well in ones with things like stairs and railings and paths and lighting! I could do without the bats though.
There were no bats in this cave. It is too vertical to have bats. It was a beautiful cave, but the tour itself was really lame. Dh said they gave a lot of erroneous scientific information about the processes for crystal formation. And then they filled up a lot of the time by pointing out how various formations looked like stuff. Like, this formation looks like Lady and the Tramp. "You all know Lady and the Tramp, right?" "Right?" The twins stared blankly at her. We shook our heads no. Later on, she pointed out another structure and talked about the reindeer that helps Santa Claus. "You know who that is, right?" The twins again just stared at her. "The reindeer with the red nose?" "Rudolph?" Dh and I again shook our heads, and stage-whispered, "There is a story about a reindeer with a nose that glows red, and they think this crystalline formation looks like it. But don't you think this stalactite over here is very interesting?"
Anyway, dh and I could have done the tour in about half the time, with fewer references to whatever the original tour guides were hallucinating on the cave walls.

Lovely quilt! Great job.
L, sorry about the cave tour. But it looks like it was fun, despite the extraneous references. But no bats? What a shame!

Molly that is SO beautiful! Love them.
Lydia, how annoying about the cave tour. I know when I took Savana to get her haircut the poor women was failing every attempt at getting Savana to talk. "What's your favorite cartoon? What did Santa bring you? What's your favorite candy?"
L, I think I told you his before, but I love the way R always keeps his baby look about him. Love the pic of him in the cave.
Molly, I commented on the other thread, but I just want to say again how fantastically the projects turned out. I am sad that you & I are both on a sewing bender and are so far from one another. I too was up late last night. I broke 3 needles on a sweater project. The universe might be telling me to trade up on my sewing machines. Now I'll have to share what I made with you ladies too.
I don't know how much I want/don't want anyone else to reprimand my kid, because I imagine I can't be objective about it. At school, I don't mind him being corrected. There's a good listener board, and it doesn't bother me that his name gets taken off if he doesn't listen, because I just see it as another game, and there's no penalty associated with it. But anyone acting angrily or snottily or dismissively to my son? That would really chap my hide, mainly because I wouldn't treat another adult that way.

So what do you guys think about this:
I took Josh to his new swim class today, it was the first week I have taken him because DH took him the first week and he was sick last week. So there was one other boy, the only other kid in the class, who was crying and really unhappy. It's the class where the parents don't go in with the kids. Josh was fine, but the other kid did not want to go in. The teacher scooped him up and brought him in the water. Basically dragged him.
I'll tell you, I was personally not happy with this, but his mom just looked on. The boy cried for about 10 minutes and then he was fine. I think Josh helped him because he was so happy and talked to the other kid and everything.
But would you let someone else handle your kid like that? I wouldn't.
No way I would not! We pulled Savana from one of the programs here because one of the teachers hoisted Savana up under her arm and took her to the water kicking and screaming specifically after dbf had told them to let her sit off to the side until she was ready. I was steamed. When I called her to speak to her about it she said that most parents want them to "get the kids in the water."
I just think it goes against everything we try to teach our children about who is in charge of their bodies and that no means NO. And no means no very specifically in regard to another adult (a stranger nonetheless) forcing them into a situation they are not comfortable with. Gah, I get so angry about that!
No, you won't be bodily forcing my child to do anything. That is such a violation of their personhood.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I have never run into a situation like that Kate. I know I wouldn't want anyone doing anything like that to one of my kids. A lot of kids in my family are terrified of water and I admit I do attempt to get them to go in the water but I don't drag them kicking and screaming. I just ask them to put their feet in, if they want me to hold them, can I rub water on their face. If they say no, I am like Bridget and will back off. It is so disrespectful to do something like that to a child, not only disrespectful but maybe even traumatic for the child. Elle is kind of leery of water. She isn't as crazy over water getting on her as she used to be but she will tell everyone she doesn't like water on her face, on her arms, on her whatever. She will actually go swimming though. She sat at the edge of the pool and we talked about it all summer and I am proud that she will go in the water now. When we went on vacation this summer at a waterpark she even went down a water slide about 6 times. I was just amazed and proud of her. The teacher could have just let the boy sit for a while until he was calm and worked with Josh. More than likely the boy would have seen Josh having a good time and eventually joined in and if not, he is entitled to one of those days just like anyone else at some time.

That is so sad. I can't believe someone would haul a kid around like that, especially in a case like Savana's when you told them to let her sit out and watch. I would have lost it completely.
But that's so great that Josh is doing well and being a good example for the other kids!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I have to wonder what part of kicking and screaming in protest the teacher didn't understand. I mean, really?!? How has that worked for the teacher so far?
Erin, Elle can already swim?
Bodhi is on week 4 of his swim lessons and we're thinking they're not worth the time and we should go to another swim school. The pool is in a high school gym and so huge that there are a million other activities going on at the same time. It's horribly loud in there. The noise level is bad enough. But then they have this crate of water toys, and Bodhi gets fixated on them. He's completely distracted the whole time. All he wants is the toys. And the water is too cold. Normally B likes to be in the water in pools with me, but this one is not is happy place. He does have a lot of fun in the locker room, though. Everyone seems to dote on him in there.
Speaking of Walmart, have any of you guys seen the documentary "Walmart: The High Cost of a Low, Low Price?" It makes you never want to shop there again. The thing is, Target employs a bunch of the same business practices. And yet I still shop there at times for household stuff because - in a nutshell - I like their marketing better. How's that for a confession?
The twins had their first swimming lesson last week. It's pretty nice. Only five kids in the entire pool, no toys, warm-ish water, only one other kid in their class. But the instructors just asked them to start kicking toward them, and they don't know how to swim at all. They don't even get their faces wet. They're scared of getting water in their ears. The other kid starts kicking away. I told the teachers they'd never had a single swimming lesson before. They tried to get them to blow bubbles in the water. DD kept putting her face close and then giggling. They wouldn't hold on to the edge because they were hopping around and excited, and DD fell into the water off the platform at one point--came up gasping and crying. I tossed the baby to DH, ready to go to her, but the teacher handled it and I was glad she let him comfort her.
I think being forced into the water would be very counter-productive for any kind of learning.
Molly, I read a while back when I was in Tahoe I think about how you appreciated it when other moms pitched in to help discipline your daughter, and I have to say it was interesting seeing your perspective. I liked it. I don't ever mind it when my mom disciplines any of my children, but she is essentially the third caregiver at our house so she needs to be able to discipline them. It's never come up that someone else has had to. We're not around anyone else enough, and I'm never far enough removed that someone else needs to. My mom tends to discipline less than dh and I do, and will not call the kids on rude behavior like yelling and demanding more of something instead of asking nicely.
I realize as I write this that at a playground today I told a complete stranger (a 3-year-old boy) that he needed to get off the slide because his turn was over and other children wanted to come down the slide. He was just hanging out on it, blocking it.
I also think I would be totally into a communal living situation, and have tried to talk DH into it several times, but he is firmly against it. He's more of the "live on 100 acres off the grid with no neighbors to speak of" kind of guy, lol.
On that note, we were all brushing our teeth tonight, I usually help Abbey and use my toothpaste but sometimes DH brushes her teeth too. I use Burt's Bees toothpaste and he uses Crest or whatever. Tonight when I put toothpaste on Abbey's brush she told me "No, no, no, I don't want your hippie-dippie toothpaste. Want Daddy's toothpaste." DH obviously had called it that at some point and she picked it up.
Abbey! How funny. Savana got a little tube of crest toothpaste at her last dentist appt and she came up to me with a very serious face that she needed to talk to me about something. She then let me know that she was going to use this toothpaste, just this once, and promised not to swallow a bit. It was like she was letting me down gently that the Waleda toothpaste just wasn't going to cut it anymore.
I am exhausted. Why, you ask? Is it my teething non sleeping 8 month old? My tempermental four year old? The never ending chores?
Nope. Dbf. It is so hard to parent with someone who is so different. I am at a total loss as to how to make it work! It's the simplest things that turn into knock down drag out tantrums. For example, Kai was in the bath last night in a very involved game he had invented with his little toy animals riding inside his hardhat like a boat. So I go in and say, "In five minutes we are going to load everyone up on the boat and bring them to dry land so that we can have a bedtime story."
"Okay mom"
Then I go to read to Savana and I foolishly tell dbf that I gave Kai his five minute warning and that he'll probably need help getting out of the tub and drying off. Dbf goes in and says, "Kai. Out. Now. Bedtime." He reaches in the bath and takes the hardhat out and sets it on the counter. Kai freaks and starts to cry and swats at dbf and tells him to go away. So dbf freaks right back and starts yelling at him that he loses his hardhat forever for hitting.
Of course I go in and kneel down next to the tub and talk Kai down and he tells me he just needed one more minute to load up all the animals and daddy came in and ruined it. Dbf is in the background going off on me about how their has to be consequences for hitting. And he's right about that but at the same time if he would just pay attention he would know that Kai was in the middle of something. And if he would get off the whole "they need to learn to listen" kick and just follow my lead. He thinks it's so cut and dry that they do as directed or they get punished. It's just not that simple with young children. They listen to me, almost every single time and if they don't I find a way without reducing them to tears.
It's just gotten to the point where i don't even want to ask him to help anymore. It's so much easier to just do it myself and keep my childrens' dignities intact along with my home peaceful.

I think it's funny that your dh can't handle the twins and photo taking at the same time. You seem to manage very well!!
As for physically forcing my child into the water? No.freaking.way. I remember when I was just learning to swim on my own and an older kid (teenager) thought I was a better swimmer than I was. He actually threw me out into a pond away from the dock. It was a distance I could have covered, but I was so stunned and scared I forgot how to swim. I remember clearly going under, coming up, going under again. My mother was in one of her manic moods...some other Dad had to jump in and save me and the first words out of Mom's mouth was about how she was wearing her leather belt and didn't want it ruined by the water. I'm not exaggerating-she would have stood there and watched me drown rather than get her belt wet. Why don't I hate her? lol
Bridget-just I wish I had some great words of wisdom. You do have my empathy. You know you and the kids deserve better. I wish I knew what his deal was...that whole, "out. now" thing sounds very much like Rich. He was bad about it when Bobbie and Jessie were little, then he backed off and followed my lead (for the most part) for a number of years...but lately he's really started slipping back into that pattern again.
No way on the forcing kids into water! There is no call for it, I'm scared of heights I don't want someone dragging me up a billboard!
Bridget I'm sorry your going through that, it must be hard to have two so very different parenting styles. I agree with Chrissy that you deserve much better. I honestly don't know how you do all that you do-running a daycare all day while taking care of your 3 LO's, you are amazing mama
DH and I agree alot on most parenting issues, thank goodness! Although I know for him working on delivery and listening is going to be difficult. He's pretty good about following my lead though and even if he disagrees after a conversation about my "whys" and "hows" he's usually right on board with me. Heck he's the biggest breastfeeding, cloth diapering, natural birth advocate you'd ever seen and he never knew a thing about any of them a year or so ago
Bridget. It seems like your dbf uses parenting to feel like he has authority (or control). IMO I think people who were raised by strict parents tend to subconsciously think it's their turn to "be in charge" or whatever.
TBH I can see it being a really difficult relationship to be in because your dbf doesn't do anything on a daily basis that is so outrageously wrong that it makes it easy to leave, he just seems to have a short temper and low patience and not a lot of appreciation for your work. Basically he just makes it hard to live with him. again.
Bridget, that bath does sound awful. Not just for its own sake and for Kai and you, but also for the bigger picture of having your children see you and dbf so obviously at loggerheads on so many basic things. I agree with what Molly said above.
I don't think that it would even occur to me to discipline someone elses kid at their house. Of course if they were about to run into traffic like Chrissy said that is different. But I figure, their house, their kid......I'm not going to say anything though I probably will talk about it with DH on the ride home!
Now if the kid is in MY house, I would say something but do it nicely like Johnny please don't throw things in the house. Johnny pet the doggie nicely....that sort of thing.
I agree. NO WAY is someone forcing my kid into the water. I do plan on doing swimming lessons from infant on though (unless kid is one prone to ear infections...that makes it hard). I grew up with a swimming pool and taught a couple of kids I watched how to swim. And I never had to force any of them into the water.
She will start formal swimming lessons around 4 years old. At that time I figure she will be receptive enough and used to the water enough to be able to follow directions and not be so apprehensive about putting her face in the water. She will go to our neighborhood rec center which gives swimming lessons for youth 4 and above in small classes of 5 kids or less. Ky has had 3 years of swimming lessons and usually there are 3 kids in the class.
I actually have disciplined (I guess) plenty of kids at the park and at other people's houses and in stores and malls and all sorts of places. But I run across a lot of people who ignore what their kids are doing or kids who don't have parents around them especially at the park a lot of kids come to one specific park on Fridays that we go to and do not have any adult or older person with them so when they start throwing dirt at Elle or rocks at Ky or think it is funny to pester Elle who is easily bothered, I do have long conversations with them and tell them about respect and ask them about what their parents would say if they were there. Most of the time the kids will respond positively and I make a new little friend and they go out of their way to show me how respectful and courteous they are being (my words to them). We have a good time. I have done this with adults there as well and they are not bothered by it. I don't hit children or yell at them or make them sit or anything. I have told them to not come around me or one of my kids though if they are one of those kids who don't like to listen and I will put on my stern voice (which is scary to kids and they usually do as I say even though I do not yell) when I tell them this. I also have a stern look and I have never had any problems, even with rowdy, smoking teenagers even though once I did tell one of them that I would call the police if they didn't leave. They left. If one of my kids does something they shouldn't be doing, I don't mind if someone tells them in a respectful way not to do that. I would mind it if is in a snotty, yelling sort of a way. People have said things to Ky about throwing mulch and I didn't have a problem with that. I usually heard it and reminded him about how I have also told him not to throw mulch because it is not a nice thing to do.

I threatened to kick a 14-year-old off his bicycle if he spun rocks at me one more time when I was jogging at the park. After that, he always smiled and waved very nicely at me. I bet his parents wouldn't have thought I was so funny.
I have spoken to kids at the park and at play areas if they are doing something that's not ok and their parents aren't paying attention. Around here that means they are busy smoking a cigarette. In fact, the last time we were at the park there was this granny there with 5 kids and they were all just rough and tumble. She chain smoked at the picnic table and was more than happy to let me correct the children. The one time she came over to do something she brought her cigarette with her and Savana yelled, "GROSS she is smoking around her KIDS!". Savana will always call people out for smoking around kids. She rocks.
Once at an airport play area I was totally regulating the slide since the older kids were basically steamrolling the toddlers to go down it and all of the other parents were either reading or on electronic devices. One of the kids asked me if I was the teacher.

Oh, tween and teenage punk kids? I definitely speak up to them if they're up to no good, especially if their parents aren't around. They're old enough to know better and I think you can assume they can be spoken to practically like adults. I do tend to be fairly gentle and with them too, though. That's the way I deal with conflict in general (but my inner snark comes out at times before I can help it). There were some age 13-ish boys on the beach the other day who started mouthing off to DH and he fought back. DH, can regress into a kid and sometimes get into weird pissing matches with little punks, but that's not all the time. I've seen him take the "Gidget's Dad" role with kids he was correcting too (he was my role model for a kind-but-still-authoritative parental figure while growing up).
Bridget, I can totally see my DH doing something like M did with the tub. I think the menfolk tend to take things way more literally and don't pick up on the little nuances of our children's needs. Which is unfortunate, because kids are full of nuance. A few weeks back, I was singing to B at night, and he was tired but wanted to stay up to "chat" with me. When I kept insisting he just sleep - and knowing DH is the best person at lulling him to slumberland - B whispered: "Mommy. I don't like you. I want Daddy." And I went out of the room to get DH. I giggled and told DH verbatim what Bodhi said. I was relaying the story mainly because I was excited that B showed a preference for DH at that time (still rare), but DH must have mistook it as my feelings being hurt, because he barged in and loudly scolded B: "Why'd you have to say that to Mommy? That's not nice to say something like that!" and probably upset/stimulated B when I already had him nice and sleepy. I keep wondering if I should have known DH was going to do that and not said anything about B's choice of words that night. And not sure if I should have expected DH to have the same appreciation for what Bodhi said as I did. See? Nuances.

So before we started having kids, DH said once we were done he would get a vasectomy. He said it would be easier for him to get it done, less invasive, less side effects, etc...made sense. So, here we are, twins will be here next week and he has made every excuse in the world not to do it, to do it later, blah blah blah...
Well today when I was signing consents for my csection next week the surgical coordinator was trying to sell me on getting my tubes tied. I just don't feel it is the best thing to do, we agree we are done completely, I just worry about the side effects of messing with things in there. I don't want to end up with whackadoodle periods, awful hormonal changes, or anything like that. Also from what I have read so far the vasectomy is more effective and there is risk of ectopic pregnancy with the tubal ligation.
I mean it does make total sense to do it while they are in there, but I also don't want to make a rush decision on this either.

I loved all of the pancake suggestions from my last post! I think the one I'm most interested in trying is the frozen corn kernels.
For lunch, I went to my freezer and grabbed one of my 2 cup portions of frozen food. Today's deliciousness was my New Years Day Black Eyed Peas and Greens! Since I spiced it knowing I would eat it over rice, I decided to add a couple T of dried quinoa ( I have a very small stash I use very judiciously since quinoa is so expensive now ) and water to make a stew. What I LOVE about the freezer is that it actually IMPROVES the taste of many soups/stews. The flavor was out of this world. The little chunks of ginger were still crisp and gave delightful bursts of flavor with every bite.
If you aren't utilizing your freezer, what are you waiting for? Here are some links for several of my favorite freezable recipes:
- Chana Saag
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Pie (make this ahead for Valentine's Day!)
- Creamy Tomato Soup
- Creamy White Bean Stew with Collards
- Chipotle Split Pea Soup
- Thai Tofu and Veggies
Chipotle Hummus
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1 t Tony's creole seasoning
- ¼ t cumin
- ¼ t coriander
- 2 c HOT chickpeas (reserve ½ c cooking liquid)
- 1-2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 4 T tahini or peanut butter
- 2-4 T chickpea cooking liquid as needed or Olive Oil if you aren't watching your calories
- Juice of 2 limes ( around 3 T )
- ¼ c chopped cilantro (optional)
- Salt/pepper to taste
- Pulse garlic and tony's in food processor until garlic paste is formed
- add the rest of the ingredients and puree until totally smooth
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more lime juice if needed.
I just love hummus! It's so versatile. I am planning on using a good portion of this in soup later on this week.
Here are some of my other hummus recipes:
What are your favorite hummus flavors?

"I already believed him before I heard him, but I needed to hear it from him."
Oliver wouldn't reveal details of their conversation or Zimmerman's version of events that led up to the shooting, he did have this to say.
"But this was not a racial profiling case. Something bad happened from the time George saw Trayvon and from the time the two came face-to-face," he said.
Oliver says Zimmerman has been told by Sanford Police not to talk publicly about what happened. A grand jury will hear evidence in the case and decide if Zimmerman should face any charges when they convene April 10th.
"He's just now realizing how big this is because up until this point he's been assured that he acted within the law. There's some evidence that's going to come out once the grand jury convenes that goes even beyond that," said Oliver.
Zimmerman's attorney says his client had a broken nose, injuries to the back of his head, and grass stains on his shirt that support his claim of self-defense. After hearing 911 calls from neighbors, where someone can be heard screaming for help right before the gunshot, Trayvon's parents think it's his voice, but Oliver said that's his friend, George Zimmerman on the tapes.
"That was George's voice. I'll be the first to say I don't know Trayvon's voice, but I do know George's voice and I feel confident that that was his."
Both Zimmerman's attorney and friend say when everything in the case is finally released, it will exonerate him and prove he acted in self-defense.
"When the evidence comes out I think a lot of people will be surprised as to what happened," Oliver said.

Amarillo, TX -- Major changes could be brewing for the craft beer industry in Texas - but it's up to the legislature whether to open the tap.
Beer is big business in Texas - Texas ranks 8th in the nation in per-capita beer consumption - but craft beer accounts for less than one percent of the sales. So now industry leaders are asking legislators to lift some of the limits they say are hindering their growth.
Under the current Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, brewers are limited in how much they can produce, distribute, and ultimately, sell. And brewers say raising those limits will allow the industry to grow, along with its economic impact for the state.
"Last year alone, the beer industry in Texas put over 600 million into the Texas economy," says Jared Read of Long Wooden Spoon Brewery in Amarillo, "so if you look at that, and you allow that to grow, that number just grows exponentially."
Texas is known as a business-friendly state, and local suppliers say loosening regulation would foster business growth. Amarillo Brewing Supply just opened its doors last week, and they small businesses are dependent on each other for growth.
"I'm all for small business," says Baker, "Obviously, we are a small business, so I think anything we can do to help small businesses grow and make them able to stay in business, I'm all for it."
And although beer consumption in the U.S. and Texas has been waning in recent years, the craft beer industry has shown double-digit annual growth since 2008.
"The craft beer industry in Amarillo is just now starting to come out, just now starting to flourish," says Read, "It's a great time - plus being on I-40, I mean, you look at Dallas and Austin and San Antonio, it's really, really coming about down there, so it's about to hit Amarillo."
On Tuesday (Mar. 5), the Business and Commerce Committee asked a group of industry leaders to recommend appropriate changes to the state's alcoholic beverage code. And late this afternoon (Mar.11), they reached an agreement which will now be considered by lawmakers.
If you'd like to learn more about the beer industry in Texas or about the proposed changes, follow the links attached to this story.

Progressive Challenge - May
A progressive scrap is a *slow* speed scrap!!! I love speed scraps and I'm equally fond of progressive scraps because there's no way to anticipate the next step so it's always interesting to see what kind of a fix we can get ourselves into and out of! Heaps of fun!! So here are the general rules to our *slow* speed... er I mean *Progressive Scrap*.
1. On the first day of the month I'll post Step 1. Then, I'll post the first of next weekly steps to the Progressive Scrap in a weeks' time, and so on until we've completed the layout
2. Add only the items listed in the step for that week, although you may add/alter shadows at any time.
3. As in card playing, *once it's laid, it's played*. If you posted your layout, you may not go back and change it. You may only build on the previous week's layout following the new step for the week and this makes things VERY interesting indeed!
4. The original and subsequent steps will be posted in this forum thread, as well as here in the first post.
5. Post your weekly layouts no later than midnight of the day before the next step is due - I'll post this date in the steps.
6. Post your layouts in the *Progressive Challenge* gallery.
7. Link your layout back to this forum thread so we can have a look at your artwork and leave some love!
8. Use of GDS Designer products is encouraged and very much appreciated!
9. Please list all the GDS products you've used.
10. There will be a posting bonus for everyone that: a) posts a layout in the gallery for each step AND ALSO b) linking their layout back to this forum. (so you have to do both). I'll post the bonus in this thread when it's available.
11. YES this challenge counts towards the Scrap 7 Challenge!
To link your images back to the gallery .. have a look here
Also... here's on on how to assign keywords to your layouts to give the credit back to the GDS designer
Step One:
1. For this months challenge you'll need to start with 3 papers. One dark one for the background. The next on top of it should be a lighter colour with a pattern and the top paper will be the lightest and plain. Resize the top 2 papers and give them an angle twist that is pleasing to you. Add shadows to give a little depth.
Post your layout by Wednesday, June 6 2012 The next step will be posted Thursday, June 7 2012
Step Two:
2. This layout aims to focus on the center line, either horizontally or vertically, your choice. Keeping this in mind, keep all your elements from here on out very near the center line. Now you'll need either two photos with one repeated twice or 3 different photos. You'll need to find two different circle frames to put them in, repeating only one of them. They should also be 3 different sizes and they should be overlapping slightly so they are connected. Add shadows as you like.
Post your layout by Tuesday, June 12 2012 The next step will be posted Wednesday, June 13 2012
Step Three:
3. In this step you'll need to create 4 paper strips or wide straight ribbons to arrange behind your photos. Add a bead scatter that does not exceed the width of your paper strip elements.. :) To do that, use any bead scatter and arrange over the paper strips, then erase the beads outside the paper strip boundary. :)
Post your layout by Monday, June 18 2012 The next step will be posted Tuesday, June 19 2012
Step Four:
4. Now you'll have to find four different elements to cluster around your photos. Keep the clusters tight to the photos so that they don't stick out into the layout too much as this is about keeping things on the center line. You can use flowers, ribbon,s buttons, greenery or whatever you like.
Post your layout by Sunday, June 24 2012 The next step will be posted Monday, June 25 2012
Step Five:
5. Ok.. this step is easy... find a tag and a *font you have not used before*. Put the date on the tag and put some journaling somewhere on your layout. Position a title anywhere you like.
Post your Saturday, June 30 2012.

Ariz. tries for foliage crown, to Vt.'s chagrin
MONTPELIER, Vt. — This fight has its peaks and valleys.
Vermont officials are rushing to the defense of one of the state's most cherished icons, the red-, orange- and gold-hued fall foliage that tops trees and mountains, after an Arizona magazine claimed the fall colors are better there.
The cover of the October issue of Arizona Highways magazine shows a waterfall surrounded by golden foliage and the headline "Autumn in Arizona and why it's better than it is in Vermont."
Not to be outdone in the battle to draw leaf peepers, Vermont Life magazine quickly produced an all-in-fun cover mocking the claim. It has a photo of a local attraction, the Quechee Gorge, and the headline "Gorges in Vermont and why the Quechee Gorge is grander than the Grand Canyon."

Ever since I discovered turkey bacon roughly 7-8 years ago, it became one of my favorite foods.
Since then, I've read many articles on the dangers of "nitrates" in processed meats, so my wife and I have avoided buying/consuming meats with nitrates in them. While more expensive, it seems to be a worthwhile investment health-wise.
Unfortunately, reading the ingredients of turkey bacon, it contained nitrates...UNTIL NOW!!
(Actually, not sure how long this has been out, but I know roughly 6-8 months ago when I looked at all of our area grocery stores, I couldn't find any nitrate-free turkey bacon)
I found this at our local grocery store. If it's here, I'm sure you can find it. Finally, a low-fat, delicious and nitrate free version of one of America's favorite food. Rejoice!!

Commission plans to modernise European company law and corporate governanceThe European Commission has today adopted an Action Plan outlining future initiatives in the areas of company law and corporate governance.
The Commission's analysis and consultations over the last two years clearly indicate that further improvements can be made, by encouraging and facilitating long-term shareholder engagement, by increasing the level of transparency between companies and their shareholders and by simplifying cross-border operations of European undertakings.
On the basis of its reflection and the results of the consultations, the Commission identified several lines of action in the area of company law and corporate governance that are fundamental to putting in place modern legislation for sustainable and competitive companies.
Internal Market and Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said: "This Action Plan on company law and corporate governance sets out the way forward: shareholders should receive additional rights, but also fully assume their responsibilities to make sure that the company remains competitive over the longer term. Companies should also become more transparent in several respects. This will contribute to effective governance of companies."
Key elements of the action plan
1. Increasing the level of transparency between companies and their shareholders in order to improve corporate governance. This will include in particular:
Increasing companies' transparency as regards their board diversity and risk management policies;
Improving corporate governance reporting;
Better identification of shareholders by issuers;
Strengthening transparency rules for institutional investors on their voting and engagement policies.
2. Initiatives aimed at encouraging and facilitating long-term shareholder engagement, such as:
More transparency on remuneration policies and individual remuneration of directors, as well as a shareholders' right to vote on remuneration policy and the remuneration report;
Better shareholders' oversight on related party transactions, i.e. dealings between the company and its directors or controlling shareholders;
Creating appropriate operational rules for proxy advisors (i.e. firms providing services to shareholders, notably voting advice), especially as regards transparency and conflicts of interests;
Clarification of the 'acting in concert' concept to make shareholder cooperation on corporate governance issues easier;
Investigating whether employee share ownership can be encouraged.
3. Initiatives in the field of company law to support European businesses and encourage their growth and competitiveness:
Further investigation on a possible initiative on the cross-border transfer of seats for companies;
Facilitating cross-border mergers;
Clear EU rules for cross-border divisions;
Follow-up of the European Private Company statute proposal (IP/08/1003) with a view to enhancing cross-border opportunities for SMEs;
An information campaign on the European Company/European Cooperative Society Statute;
Targeted measures on groups of companies, i.e. recognition of the concept of the interest of the group and more transparency regarding the group structure.
In addition, the action plan foresees merging all major company law directives into a single instrument. This would make EU company law more accessible and comprehensible and reduce the risk of future inconsistencies.
The Commission's 'Europe 2020' Strategy (see IP/10/225) calls for improvement of the business environment in Europe. EU company law and corporate governance rules for companies, investors and employees must be adapted to the needs of today's society and to the changing economic environment. European company law and corporate governance should make sure that companies are competitive and sustainable.
With its 2011 Green Paper on EU corporate governance (IP/11/404) the Commission initiated an in-depth reflection to evaluate the effectiveness of the current corporate governance rules for European companies. It also carried out an on-line public consultation on the future of European company law which generated a large number of responses by a wide variety of stakeholders (IP/12/149).
