Representative Doug Overbey has agreed to facilitate a panel on collaborations at the upcoming Nonprofit Training and Enrichment Seminar on June 4 at Maryville College.
The panel will focus on how nonprofit organizations can work together in their community to create a greater impact, and will include representatives from the seminar's sponsoring organizations: the Blount County Chamber Foundation, the Center for Strong Communities at Maryville College, and United Way of Blount County.
The seminar is almost sold out, but a few openings are still available for its Nonprofit 101 and Logic Modeling seminar tracks.
Tab Burkhalter of Burkhalter-Moser, PC, and Michelle Hankes, President and CEO of United Way of Blount County, will present the basics of running a nonprofit organization in Nonprofit 101. Topics include creating a solid board of directors, strengthening an organization's mission and goals, developing a working budget, and ensuring compliance with all state-mandated forms.
In Logic Modeling, Dr. Janet Kelly of the University of Tennessee will provide a hands-on workshop helping agencies create outcome measures. Outcome measurement is designed to help organizations gauge the impact a program has in its community, and it has become increasingly vital for funding, community support, and program improvement.
The seminar also features a track on Marketing Communications on a Shoe String with Mary Beth West of Mary Beth West Consulting, but that session is full.
Nationally renowned nonprofit management consultant Peggy Morrison Outon of the Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management of Robert Morris University will be the keynote speaker, kicking off the event with an address on strategic planning.
The price of the seminar is $20 per person and attendance is limited to 90 registrants. To register for the seminar, visit unitedwayblount.org or call the Center for Strong Communities at Maryville College at 865-273-8894.

A memorial trust has been established for Donald Largen, a 57-year-old saxophone player and urban planner who was killed Wednesday in the Café Racer shooting. Donations are needed to fund funeral expenses and support his surviving partner, Glenna Wilson.
Donations are welcome in any amount and can be made at any Bank of America location to the Donald B.Largen Memorial Trust Fund. All proceeds will be used to cover funeral expenses, with the remainder going to Wilson, Largen's partner of 22 years. Separate funds are being created for the other shooting victims.
Paul Zemtseff, a close friend of the departed, said funds are strongly needed and appreciated.
"Don was a brutally honest man who could argue with the best of them yet could be convinced to change his mind. I will miss all his superb, clever (and often bawdy) jokes that he never had a chance to share with us. Whenever they came to dinner, it was always like the first time. He was consistently the most gracious and thankful guest. He lived a very conscious life and will be missed – most by his sweetheart Glenna, who has lost her other half. We will all so miss your great big heart," Zemtseff said.
Largen was a Seattle native who graduated from Shorecrest High School and the University of Washington. He worked as an urban planner while simultaneously pursuing his love of music, regularly playing at cafes and friend's houses whenever possible. He loved Costa Rica and visited as often as possible with Glenna. He was a resident of the Roosevelt neighborhood and was a regular at local establishments such as the Café Racer, Latona Pub, Big Time Brewery and Café Allegro.

For Immediate Release
Health Offers Express Testing for STDs
Sexually transmitted diseases can often go unnoticed leading to transmission of disease and potential illness for people throughout the community. Barriers often discourage detection of commonly transmitted STD's such as Chlamydia and gonorrhea. These diseases, left untreated can be harmful, causing illness that could affect a woman's ability to have children. Springfield, Missouri is not unique in the fact that STD's are common illnesses affecting many people in our community, sometimes without any outward signs and symptoms.
The Springfield-Greene County Health Department is now offering innovative, unique new services aimed to expand the number of clients served, and in turn prevent spread of common sexually transmitted diseases. The laboratory located inside the health department has recently implemented an express urine test for Chlamydia and gonorrhea. This express testing option is available for clients that do not have symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease.
The health department is the first agency in the Springfield area to offer urine testing for Chlamydia and gonorrhea. This test offers the most advanced testing technology which has been shown to be less invasive and offer the same reliability as former versions of testing for these diseases. "Reducing barriers is a significant step toward making testing more widely available and could lead to a reduction in cases with proper treatment and prevention education," said Kendra Williams, Administrator of Community Health and Epidemiology.
The Springfield Greene County Health Department has partnered with Jordan Valley Community Health Center to provide this state of the art testing. The goal of implementing this additional form of testing will be to increase the number of clients served while decreasing illness and complications to clients caused when these sexually transmitted diseases are left untreated.
Currently, testing for sexually transmitted diseases is available at the health department at no cost to the client. Walk-in clinics are available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday on a first come, first serve basis. Doors open at 7:30 am and registration begins at 8:00 am.
For more information, contact: Kendra Williams, Administrator Community Health and Epidemiology, 417-864-1408

Because of the red color and it's faintness it is usually only visible in photographs.
I used my unmodified Nikon D7000 camera in combination with the Nikon AF-Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 for this photograph. 11 individual exposures of 120 seconds at f/2.8 were combined using Regim by Andreas Rörig. Additional adjustments were made in Adobe Lightroom.

Awesome House!
Review submitted: October 26, 2012 Date of arrival: August 17, 2012
We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your Cooperstown home. My family and my sister's family truly had an excellent vacation.
The house, the location and to be able to just relax on that porch was awesome, our only regret was that we rented it for 1 week instead of 2!. The house itself was beautiful with a great layout that was really good for our families to be together. For my husband and I it was an easy ride to Dreamspark to watch our son play baseball, we enjoyed the lake although some of us were able to go more than others. We also enjoyed downtown, lunched on the lake, and managed to get to Fly Creek even though we had a lot of baseball.
I just wanted to let you know that we had an enjoyable vacation at your home.

Great house!!
Review submitted: June 17, 2011 Date of arrival: June 10, 2011
This house is awesome!! Fully equipped in the kitchen so no problems making dinner there! The views from the porch are gorgeous, it makes you want to just sit on the porch & have a cocktail or two. The beds are comfy and plenty of room to spread out.
The NY Pizzeria on Chestnut St is highly recommended...good food and friendly staff. The Ommegang Brewery should be on your visit list as well. The tour, tasting, and restaurant at the brewery is top notch!
The road leading up to the house is questionable, especially if it rains, but if you exit down the other side Red House Hill Rd, you will have no problems taking two lefts and then end up on highway 28.

The Google TV team is making a greater effort to make Google TV thrive, lately. Some great updates have been announced and we are moving forward, but you will need to stay updated with so much great stuff coming. This is why the Google TV introduced the monthly What's On newsletter.
The first What's On newsletter was sent out last October 10th, and though it took a while to get the second one, it seems there is a third newsletter already out! We can tell by the difference in the previous newsletter's main image, wich was related to YouTube. The second newsletter was released only last week, making this one a very sweet surprise.
Aside from purchase links for Google TV devices, we have gotten a few recommended YouTube videos to watch on our Google TVs. These include the presidential election videos, the Redbull Stratos video and the Halo 4 live action series (which is great watch, by the way).
The featured apps of the month are Willow.tv, DramaFever and PostTV. I actually use PostTV and it is a great source of news if you like to stay tuned to the Washington Post.
If you haven't yet, it is a great idea to sign up for the (sometimes) monthly What's On Google TV newsletter. It is simple and convenient, as well as informative.

Updated: Aug. 4, 2012, 1:40 p.m.
Westchester County Police identified the Putnam man who drowned in the Hudson River after saving his niece Friday evening as Christopher Baisley, 52, of Upland Drive in Garrison.
The boat Baisley had been driving was a 26-foot cabin cruiser and it appears the kids were "tubing," or floating on a raft attached to a moving boat, said WCP Information Officer Kieran O'Leary. All three children had personal flotation devices, as is legally required.
Baisley's 7-year-old niece apparently became separated from the raft and the uncle jumped in the water to retreive her. The girl's twin brother and 11-year-old sister pulled her back onto the boat, but Baisley and the boat appear to have drifted apart.
Captain Mary Pat Driscoll of the Evening Star came across Baisley's body at approximately 5:40 p.m. near Charles Point, said O'Leary.
"We are not sure what caused him to have the distress he had," said O'Leary. "There was nothing on the boat that would indicate alcohol was a factor. This seems like an uncle who took the neices and nephews out for a day of fun."
Baisley's friends described him as a good swimmer to detectives.
A 52-year-old Putnam County man reportedly drowned after helping his niece in the Hudson River near Charles Point in Peekskill, according to the Journal News' _Will David._
The man, still unidentified by police, helped his niece who was struggling on a raft attached to their boat when he became distressed himself, according to TJN.
The 7-year-old niece's twin brother and sister, 11, pulled her back to the boat while the vessel drifted away from their uncle in the water. The children put out a distress call, which the Coast Guard picked up and sent to local police, David reports.
Around 5:40 p.m. Captain Mary Pat Driscoll of the Evening Star came across the deceased body of the man, as Westchester County police arrived on the scene by boat, she said.
By about 7:40 p.m. two men, whom David reports were the children's father and grandfather, arrived and left with the three, who were visibly upset.
The distressing incident occurred just as Peekskill Celebration began Friday night. The Celebration will continued as planned Saturday.
Here is a statement from Bill Powers, Peekskill Celebration spokesman:
While we have limited details tonight, we are deeply saddened by the news surrounding the apparent drowning of an individual in the Hudson River who heroically tried to save the life of a child. Plans for our Cancer Awareness dragon boat races, designed to honor the memories of those who have passed, those who are fighting the disease now, and those who have overcome cancer, will go on as scheduled. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family impacted by this tragedy.
Read the full Journal news report here.
Original posting, 8 p.m. Aug. 3:
While leading a tour of about 20 people on the Evening Star Friday, Captain Mary Pat Driscoll spotted a body in the water. As she got closer, she realized it was the dead body of an unidentified male floating in the Hudson River not far from the coastline, she said. Driscoll made the discovery around 6 p.m. while Peekskill Celebration was just getting started.
While Driscoll pulled up to bring in the body a Westchester County police boat arrived and took over, she said.
Westchester County police, Peekskill Office of Emergency Management and the Putnam County Sheriff's office were on the scene, but no law official would comment on the incident. They did not identify the victim or reveal details on how this happened.
Around 7 p.m. two men arrived at the riverfront to retrieve three children, visibly upset, from a private boat that was at the scene at Peekskill's boat launch. Police then searched the boat.
Police set up a perimeter at the scene and are continuing their investigation.
"It's strange. This is not really the place where something like that happens," said Arianna Memoli, a 17-year-old Peekskill resident who was at the Riverfront when Peekskill EMS and county police initially arrived.

ATLANTA — When the first game of the ACC tournament tips off this afternoon, as always, there will be two broadcast teams at center court, one from ESPN, one from the ACC Network.
It's been that way for years, with the ACC Network - formerly known as Raycom - carrying the game in ACC markets, and ESPN carrying the game nationally, with that broadcast blacked out in ACC territory.
Today, when Wake Forest takes on Maryland at noon, both broadcasts will be available in the Triangle: one on WRAL, the other on ESPNU. The same is true for the other 10 games of the tournament, right down to Sunday's championship game, pitting Dick Vitale and ESPN against the traditional home of ACC basketball in a battle for viewers for the first time in the Triangle and throughout ACC country.
"How many people will watch on which network, we still don't know," Raycom president and CEO Ken Haines said. "We should know at some point after the tournament. It's obviously good for the conference to have this type of exposure. It's probably the only conference that has this dual exposure of the same events."
New deal
For decades, going back to the earliest days of ACC basketball on television, the ACC sold its basketball rights to Raycom, which sold the national rights to ESPN. Those ESPN broadcasts were blacked out in Raycom territory.
That changed when ESPN came up with $1.86 billion in the conference's new television deal, which came into effect this year. At the ACC's insistence, Raycom was retained as a partner - rebranded as the ACC Network - but ESPN is now the alpha dog.
So while Raycom will continue to broadcast ACC tournament games on its affiliates, like WRAL in the Raleigh-Durham market, those same games will also be available on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU in ACC markets for the first time.
"That's a terrific thing for our league, and for fans, I think," ACC commissioner John Swofford said. "We couldn't be more pleased, in terms of the relationship among the three entities, as well as the resulting exposure that our teams get because of that relationship. We're the biggest benefactor, the ACC and our fans."
High stakes
In February, when Duke faced North Carolina in Chapel Hill, both ESPN and the ACC Network carried the game, but ESPN wasn't blacked out in ACC Network markets for the first time. Almost 310,000 households watched in the Raleigh-Durham market. WRAL averaged a 20.8 rating and ESPN a 6.6.
The rematch last weekend was available exclusively on ESPN, and underlines what's at stake: Nationally, the game's 3.1 rating was the best for a college basketball game since the March 2008 Duke-UNC game and had the fourth-most viewers since 1990. In the Triangle, it did a 20.9 - the highest since ESPN started keeping records in 2002. Those numbers translate into big money for broadcasters.
"We're kind of each doing our own thing," said Nick Dawson, ESPN's director of programming and acquisitions. "Certainly there's going to be some people that watch the game on our network and some that watch on theirs. It's sort of the nature of the beast with the coexist model.
"I don't look at it as competition. It's great to put the games on nationally, because that's the business we're in. And it's great for the fans. They have two ways to watch it and we'll let them pick which one."
Back to the '60s
Raycom, which is the direct descendent of the original, innovative C.D. Chesley broadcasts that put the ACC at the forefront of sports television in the '60s and '70s, did obtain the right to syndicate its games outside of ACC markets for the first time, adding about 50 affiliates as far away as California, Colorado and Iowa, in big markets like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cleveland and New Orleans.
As for the longstanding regional affiliates, like Capitol Broadcasting's WRAL and WRAZ, any concern about the new competition from ESPN is tempered by faith in viewer loyalty that goes back decades.
"Viewers watch their hometown teams on their hometown station," WRAL station manager Jim Rothschild said. "WRAL has a tradition of being the Triangle's ACC station for decades."
Additionally, there are still the 11 percent of households that don't get cable or satellite. For them, over-the-air stations like WRAL are the only option. The same is true of Thursday's games for homes that have basic cable and don't get ESPNU.
A similar battle for viewers will be carried out online, where ESPN will feed content to its WatchESPN app and website and Raycom will do the same with its own ACC Network app and website. According to ESPN, the Feb. 8 Duke-UNC game was the most-watched college basketball game ever on that network's online platforms.

I'm using Drupal 7.x with the Entity Reference and Entity Connect modules. I have a Product Page content type that has 1 entity reference field that I'm trying to use to create user associations (i.e. - "Product A" might be associated with 2 users whereas "Product B" might be associated with 5, "Product C" only 1, etc., etc.)
I didn't use a user reference field for this because the entity connect module wouldn't work with the standard user reference field type and since everything in Drupal is moving toward using entities anyway, I figured I might as well go with it. (I use entity connect for those moments when a user doesn't exist; it allows content editors who create Product Pages to create users on the fly if the reference doesn't exist).
So from what I understood, users can be "entity referenced" because user profiles are entities themselves. This must be true because the field I'm using allows me to reference users by their username (i.e. - the auto-complete input of the entity reference field shows respective registered users when they're found) but what I need to do is reference users by their last name fields instead--which I'm having problems with.
Think of all this as a "mask" for the auto-complete. That said, how does one reference users by another field in the auto-complete input??? Surely there's a way to do this because I can't imagine that you're locked into referencing only by username...
With entity reference fields, you can attach a view to the field and I've read that this is how you can do all this... So I created a view that accepts a last name as a contextual field and made this view have the Entity Reference display. I then attached it to the field, but when I type a last name, well, nothing shows. So clearly, it doesn't work or else I did something wrong somewhere...
(This is a hairy issue, I know, but I tried to keep it short. I posted a more verbose explanation of all this on a Drupal project page, too, which has more detail if necessary: http://drupal.org/node/1906344)
Any insight into this is appreciated.

The 10% I disagree with is the dual assertion that I would be writing these kids off and that the environment would be any different that some of the squalor that kids these days are already raised in. We see success stories still somehow managing to come out of garbage homes. I say that if less of these kids are raised in an environment where "oh well, Gubment check comin" is the attitude more of them will be successful. I maintain that if you give the lazy incentive to be lazy, that's exactly what they will do. Remove that incentive and a surprising amount of them will go to work.
I realize that I may be oversimplifying things but hey, its the internet.
The other thing that I wish people would realize is that almost everyone in this thread is basically a libertarian (other than Psuedo) until it comes to the specific government program that benefits them. Like I said earlier, everybody looking out for #1 is very healthy basic concept. The general problem with that is that nobody wants to cut their own programs, this is probably a big part of why Ryan voted for a lot of the things he did, he has to look out for his district. If the money is being handed out he better get his for his district. This is why I'm a huge fan of term limits. I'm always amazed when I talk to liberals and ask them to explain their point of view. Some of them are pure talking points people like Psuedo but quite a few of them are very much libertarian and just don't know it. Keep the government out of my bedroom? Libertarian, but from the liberal side of things. Cut the military! It's to big, to wasteful etc. ( I happen to agree, I know because I was there) Libertarian, but still a liberal talking point.
People need to understand that the R and the D are not really that different. People on both sides agree that the government is the most ungainly, inefficient, ungodly disaster of an organization the world has ever scene but they are allowing themselves to be divided by minutia to that point where nobody in Washington is ever held accountable. Like I said, dependency minimizes accountability. In general, I support the tea party point of view here. Less government is better in every way. Don't get caught up in the kill the grandmas and put the babies in the streets garbage, nobody wants that, and that is my original point. Everybody wants to take care of those that NEED the help, I just don't want to take care of lazy bastards that take help when they don't need it.
Look, it's insulting to characterize people who disagree with your viewpoint as pure talking points. I get beliefs from my experience with people, not from the radio (as one former BYTO poster once accused me). I don't need to drag out my own experience (if you're actually curious, PM me), but I've rarely encountered people who truly need to be cut off and who through mentorship and opportunity don't desire to try hard, to acquire work ethic, to be a productive member of a community. Seriously, even the people with the poorest attitudes can become motivated under the right circumstances. That fact that some people rise from poverty to achieve success is notable speaks to its rarity. People rarely escape poverty without some outside assistance; I think it's absurd to suggest that such people are testaments to the fact the everyone can overcome poverty.
There's something really disconnected in your analysis of why people fail or why people choose to fail if you believe that children aspire to live on welfare. Seriously. No one aspires to live on welfare, especially children. (Of course there are people who see such few options for themselves, that they see welfare as the best path for their life, which is sad, not blame-worthy). I understand your point about normalizing welfare-lifestyle, but your solution (or non-solution) is just lazy. We have the history of civilization to tell us what happens when the poor and incapable are left to their own means. You get the plague. I mean are you actually imagining what urban environments would look like without social welfare? I don't think you're following your thought experiment to any arduous end; you somehow assume that pain and misery of poverty-stricken children will suddenly result in them trying harder at their underfunded and poorly-instructed classes, that some how seeing their parents and themselves go without food and healthcare will teach them the value of some good ole fashion work ethic. Again, imagine what wide-spread poverty looks like. There are places in the world and instances throughout history where you can see the ends of your philosophy.
Despite how you try to characterize my point of view, I'm not some dumb flower-kissing hippy. I don't want people to mooch, and I understand their tendency to do so. I think we can create efficacious welfare to work programs if we have 1) the funding 2) the policy 3) the jobs on the otherside.
If simple laziness were indeed the root of why people grow dependent on welfare we'd see jobs going unfilled and a premium on motivated workers, which would result in higher wages. But of course, that's not the case. At the base of your assumption is that there are indeed enough jobs to employ all of the people who are welfare which is a total and obvious falsehood.
Another silly assertion that libertarians like to proffer is that if we simply cut taxes on businesses, we'd suddenly have enough jobs to employ everyone. This is something I've asserted before, but we could cut taxes to zero and businesses would still not come to America for it's low-skilled labor. Our standard of living and hence our labor is far too expensive to compete in free world market. It will always be cheaper and more profitable to build a plant in Indonesia because their labor is cheaper (both because of economy there and the lack of civil rights and worker rights).
What is more slippery is how do you decide who needs help legitimately and who does not? I'm pretty sure that welfare programs try to do this, but with what success, I'm not sure. Even if we can decide who the illegitimate needy are, what happens to such people? Pretty soon you're breeding criminals, because desperate people do desperate things. I agree there's illegitimate needy people, but I think they are such a small percentage, that we can regard such people as sunk cost. A broken dish in a restaurant, to run out a dehumanizing metaphor. Any effective welfare-to-work program will involve fraud, and needs to guard itself against defiant people, but we can't simply get rid of the programs because they might be abused.
We all agree let's help people who need it and avoid creating a system that breeds ineffectual citizens. We all agree with that. But what I am not seeing from you is ideas of how welfare-to-work might operate. In fact I'm seeing zero ideas from you, just in your words, libertarian talking points. Which strikes me as lazy. (To Levi's credit, he's willing to get nuts and bolts about how to fix it, and what we find is that we often agree at what kind of welfare mechanism we'd like to see).
The libertarian policy is no policy. Again, which is damn lazy. There's hard work to do on social welfare, but your philosophy contributes zero to real-world workable solutions. You stand in the way. What I find so offensive is that you also seem so lazy in your analysis of why people fail and how people become lazy and what the day-to-day living on welfare is really like. I don't think you've spent a lot of time thinking about the roots of failure, when and where it happens, the psychology of it; much less, how to break people out of the attitudes of failure.
Again, no one wants to simply give a man a fish, we want to teach a man to fish; but the process of teaching/training is complicated, especially in terms of the unwilling or the broken, but it's totally within our capacity to design such policy and to people it with individuals who can get the job done. We need smart, tough policy. Not railing against the idea of public policy (government) in general.

I normally don't really care for Sully, but I think his recent take on Paul Ryan (and libertarianism) might coincide with some poster's here.
A blip:
I don't share some Obama-supporters' contempt for Paul Ryan. That's in part because he comes across as a sincere, decent, fine fellow - whose Randian worldview has produced a reformist zeal known most intimately to an adolescent male. Indeed, he reminds me most of all of myself in my teens - dreaming of how to cut government in half, relishing schemes to slash taxes and slash spending and unleash revolutionary growth which, in itself, would render all other problems more manageable. There is no libertarian quite as convinced as a teenage libertarian. And it's the adolescent conviction of Ryan that shines so brightly.
Brock, you already have a permanent underclass, and as long as the economic setup is allowed to continue as it does, it will only continue to grow. The welfare system rewards mistakes, so there's nothing preventing others from continuing to make them and no incentive to get out of the situation. Inflation is a different side of things in that it slowly erodes away the wealth of all of us (except those at the very top who have access to the money before it's value is destroyed)... That punishes people on fixed incomes and slowly moves more and more people into these safety nets where they have no else to go.
I get the "what about the children" argument up to a point, but the simple fact is that since these programs have been put into place, there are more children that need them now. There will always be poverty, and there will always be suffering. Thinking that the government can provide some magic pill to fix all of that is everyone's first mistake. The other problem, is that somewhere you have to give the government control of parenting decisions. Is that really a line people are willing to cross? This is the same one giving the finger to the first ammendment telling religious organizations they ahve to do something that's against their convictions. What would stop them from telling you as parents that you cannot pass on your own moral views to your children?
You want a smart conversation? Put down the damn bunny and the gun you have to it's head and let's talk. You and other of your political persuasion are what is stopping this from happening by your own version of "oh so you want the terrorists to win?" response to a perfectly pertinent question. (Iraq war, just for the record) As a libertarian I can look you in the eye and honestly say I have the same intentions. What you can't do in return is honestly say you mean to discuss them. The drivel you tried to pass as arguments in this thread alone show your real intent.
I, and I think most other libertarians at least, are ready for that conversation. It's you and the rest of the Lovejoys that have to back off so we can have it.
I'm not here to insulte you or characterize you as something you are not, but I'll be real honest in that I've seen enough of the bad sides of society to say that relying on the goodness of humanity to escape poverty is absurd. I'm a landlord and own several rental properties, all of which tend to cater towards lower income individuals. I don't accept government subsidies because by and large for the most part, those individules are some of the most entitled-self centered people I have ever met. In my 8 years of doing this, I've come across 1 person who I would consider to be a success story amongst many failures. People don't escape poverty without outside assistance... with the exception of a lucky fuew, they don't escape it. Not anymore at least. There's a system in place today that wasn't there 100 years ago that virtually ensures that poverty isn't going anywhere.
Likewise, your view on history is skewed. Engraved on the statue of liberty are the following words: "Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." This was the mantra in this country up until the Great Depression, and it worked for the first 150 years of this country's existence. There was no welfare prior to that and this country did just fine. It wasn't until the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the subsequent Great Depression which it engineered that required these social programs, and instead of dealing with the cause of this poverty, we allowed the corruption to continue. That system is designed to slowly suck money out of the general economy and place it into the hands of a few, and this is exactly where the US is going. You are correct to task conservatives on this issue, as they want to deal with the welfare without fixing the problem at the top, but this is one thing the libertarians have figured out. The problem is here because the system as a whole is stacks the deck against everyone else.
I know you aren't directing this post at me b/c I've stayed out of this largely, but there's far more than libertarian talking points here. There's a root cause that welfare-to-work does not address.
diehard, thanks for being thoughtful and thorough in responding, but it will take me a couple of days to retort.
Take offense Pseudo and clean up your retorts. Your "dead in the street" nonsense you should be ashamed of. Its beneath you. To then call out someone else's committment to real solutions after that pathetic nonsense is embarrassing. You know full well I dont play sides. My retort to jocko was coming - you just jumped the priority list with your high and mighty crap after twice sounding like a smug, shallow alarmist.
Well, what would you do about the illegitimately needy? Like I said, I'm not seeing much to combat the hyperbole from the libertarian side.
(FWIW, I took out the last line of my post.)

08-20-2012, 09:08 PM #114I'm not the only one using that phrase. Obviously, there's hyperbole on all sides. But I don't see much in the terms of counter pointing that harsh assessment.

It seems to me that there is an obvious way to sort out the lazy from the motivated, which would be to make sure that there are enough jobs for everyone. It sickens me to work 50+ hours a week while unemployed people watch Oprah. It seems to me that if they are going to collect government benefits, then they should be working. There is plenty of work that needs to be done in this country that would benefit our people and our economy. Our roads, bridges and other infrastructure has been neglected. We could also use more teachers and teachers aides. There are also lots of fairly high quality jobs that are going unfilled because there are not enough Americans with the training to fill them. This is where government needs to come in and spend money for the long term benefit of everyone, while putting a lot of people back to work. Also, there are a lot of jobs filled by illegal immigrants that could be filled by citizens if we had better mechanisms for requiring genuine slackers to take such jobs, and to this end, a more decent minimum wage would also help.
To me, the irony of this debate is that we taxpayers are going to pay for our less fortunate citizens one way or another. We can cut their Medicare and their Medicaid but that won't keep them out of the emergency rooms. We can give their kids crappy educations, but then we get to pay $35,000+ per year per prisoner to keep them in prison later. And we can starve them, but what's it going to feel like and look like around the world when the United States is allowing people to starve.
I would like to try to weed out the slackers, by offering them jobs and cutting their benefits if they don't at least try to work, but I would also like to do a lot more than we do now in training and employing the non-slackers. Basically, I would like EVERYONE to work at least 30 hours per week, except people who are disabled from doing so. And I think that with the right policies, we could find jobs for the vast majority of people who are now unemployed.
I think that the best solution might come if we can put aside party and philosophy and try to find ways to spend our tax dollars more wisely. It's no secret that governments at all levels waste many billions of dollars per year, and that there are programs that overlap and that are inefficient. It's also no secret that tax rates for high earners are very low compared with historical rates and that the top 1% has been thriving. If only the liberals could put social programs on the table and the conservatives could put tax rates (and the defense budget) on the table, then I think that we could still get out of this mess. On the other hand, our system seems to broken to allow for compromise, and the special interests are calling most of the shots, no matter who we elect. And with Citizen's United, this will likely get worse before finally there is a backlash and we clamp down on the corruption that comes from politicians doing things that they know are wrong in order to get money to get re-elected.
Canada, anyone?
P.S. - can we at least all agree that the billions spent on the drug war and on imprisoning users is a total waste?

Have hair envy after seeing how healthy Lindsay Lohan's long red locks look? Here are 5 ways to make longer hair look its best
Right on the heels of the announcement that she is indeed playing Liz Taylor in a made-for-TV biopic, Lindsay Lohan makes a red carpet appearance that actually doesn't have us questioning the casting choice. In fact, the floor-length gown and bright-eyed smile is enough to almost make us forget her ongoing troubles. (Related: Mean Girls came out eight years ago today, how?!) The real star of Lohan's look at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, however, is her hair. The cascading, loose curls are flawless and also prove that she really does look best as a redhead. Sure, some well-done extensions deserve a bit of credit—but their undetectable nature is another reason why Lohan looks so good. We're not the only ones with hair envy, right?
Here are five ways make your long hair look as good as LiLo's! »

Wire reports
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Freshman Tori Patrick scored a game- and career-high 16 points on efficient 5-of-8 shooting, and the Bluefield State women's basketball team limited Ohio Valley to just a 23.1 percent effort from the field in a convincing 84-47 win over the Fighting Scots Monday night.
Patrick's outburst led a group of three Lady Blues posting double figures in scoring.
With the win, BSC improved to 2-2 overall and in the league, its best start to a season since 2007-08, when the Lady Blues also started the season 2-2.
Ohio Valley dropped to 0-7 (0-4 WVIAC).
Juniors Shay Gravely and Charity Harris contributed to the Lady Blues' offensive potency scoring 15 and 12 points respectively. Gravely also led the team with six boards. Amy Brooks led Ohio Valley with 12 points.
BSC scored 27 points off the Fighting Scots' 28 turnovers and their bench out-scored Ohio Valley's reserves, 37-10.
The Lady Blues built a 10-0 lead in less than four minutes. BSC finished the frame on a commanding 12-3 spurt, taking a 43-22 lead into the locker room at halftime.
BSC eventually built a game-high 39-point lead, 84-45, with 15 seconds remaining.
The Lady Blues travel to Division I Liberty University in Lynchburg for their final exhibition game of the season at 7 p.m. Thursday night. The Flames are the reigning Big South regular season and tournament champions.
Men's game: OVU 74, Bluefield State 65
The Bluefield State men used their rebounding prowess to give Ohio Valley fits all night, but struggled from the field and at the line in losing 74-65 to the Fighting Scots Monday night in the Snyder Activity Center.
After taking a 33-30 lead into the half and tying the game at 62 with 3:17 to play, the Big Blues allowed OVU to score 12 of the game's final 15 points in the game where BSC couldn't convert when it needed to – going 0-for-6 from the field and 3-for-5 from the charity stripe to close out the game.
Big Blues' freshman guard Avery Holliday made his second start and scored a career- best 12 points, to go along with eight rebounds. Senior Vincent Rogers continued to be a force for BSC, recording his second double-double of the season with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Junior Johnny Uhegwu inserted a spark from the bench, as the Big Blues reserves outscored the Fighting Scots' bench 28-19.
Ohio Valley used senior Ashton Brown's 18 points and seven rebounds to secure their first conference win of the season.
Despite the loss, BSC delivered a quality effort on the boards in logging a season-best 54 rebounds, including 26 offensive rebounds. They also swiped a season-high 17 steals. But it was the Big Blues' cold shooting from the field (30.4 percent) and the line (45.2 percent) that prevented BSC from earning its first win of the season.
The Big Blues (0-7, 0-4 WVIAC) will get another chance for a win on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. when BSC travels to Bristol, Va. to face Virginia Intermont College in non-conference action.

"Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go . . . "
A familiar song from your youth? That's right, "Heigh Ho" is a song sung by the seven dwarfs in the 1937 animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as they come home from (and go to) work. It is the movie's most popular song, but, while most people mistakenly sing "it's off to work we go," the lyrics are really "it's home from work we go." Just a little trivia for you.
So what does this have to do with Microsoft? Well, I point out "it's home from work we go," because we all want to get home to our Windows Home Server, now don't we? And Windows Home Server is now in one of the coolest homes around, the Innoventions Dream Home in Tomorrowland at the Disneyland® Park in Anaheim, California. The home delivers on Walt Disney's vision for showcasing cutting-edge technologies that make life better and easier.
This home of the future has recently been updated and now features the HP MediaSmart EX495 Home Server. You can check out a virtual tour of the home here. Hint: look behind the desk in the family room where the white arrow is pointing. You'll see other cool Microsoft products in the home, including an Xbox 360 Elite and Microsoft keyboard and mouse.
The Innoventions Dream Home was first introduced in June 2008 with Microsoft as an original exhibitor , and the home has been a huge hit since then. The home, which shows how a connected digital lifestyle can simplify and enhance many aspects of daily family life, is a perfect showcase for how Windows Home Server helps families centralize and connect their digital experiences.
The Innoventions Dream Home is both a show and a showcase, offering guests a hands-on experience with new in-home technologies, some that are practical and some that are just truly astounding – like the Magic Mirror, a virtual mirror that projects accessories, hairstyles and clothes from your closet onto your reflection, allowing you try out different "looks."
Also, check out the Taylor Morrison Dream Home Giveaway contest on the Innoventions Dream Home site. Depending on where you live, looks like you could be in the running to win the home of your dreams – the perfect place to put your Windows Home Server!

Of Tubes and Toothpaste
23 Aug 2011 3 Comments
The phrase, "The cat's out of the bag.", is often used to describe what happens when some event, bit of news, or a secret gets out.
Being a companion of cats I've often felt this phrase is rather incorrect. Yes, a cat recently sprung from a bag will very likely crash wildly about the place. It is also likely that the cat will saunter sedately away from the bag and go have a good lick somewhere. It is also pretty easy to get a cat back into a bag.
To Get Cat Back into Bag:
- Put bag on floor.
- Walk away.
*With Obie, pictured, the bag only needs to be unattended.
The phrase I prefer to use when acknowledging that you can't put something back the way it was is this, "You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube."
That's more apt. The news is out. The time is now. You cannot return to a time when that particular bit of toothpaste was already in the tube.
The "toothpaste" that's outta the tube right now is this blog. It would seem in recent weeks my Mom has stumbled upon it. Not sure how, but that really doesn't matter much anyway. This is a public blog and it has my real and legal name on it. It even says where I live. There's always been a chance my mostly non-internet-using Mother would find it.
And so she has. This apparently is the cause of the silent treatment.
I have a queasy hunch it might even be partly related to the sudden about-face on the apartment. I could see her deciding to whole-heartedly move into an environment that isn't healthy for her physically because she'd decided I was not to be relied upon. I've become another in a long line of betrayals.
Here's the scoop, as provided to me by her deeply concerned husband who had just left her bedside at the hospital (yes, again).
Mom interpreted somewhere along the way in reading my blog that I wished she would die.
Yeah. Seriously.
Her husband, WD, had asked her to show him what I'd written, but she wouldn't. He really didn't think I'd ever say such a thing. At the hospital this past Sunday she informed him that I was not to be called. He went home, called me and told me what's been going on. I've since talked with his son as well. WD and his kids all have my phone numbers, CK's mobile number, and my email. They also have the link to this blog.
What I told them, without knowing what it was that set Mom off, was that it was possible that I've written about the relief her death would bring. Not because I wish she would die, only that it will be a tremendous relief to know that she won't be suffering in this life any longer. No more procedures. No more hospital stays. No more anxiety. No more bitterness. True and final rest.
I dread the day my Mom's death comes. I will be profoundly sad and deeply grieve the loss of my only living parent. I will mourn her unassuaged life that only knew such fleeting joy. Knowing that she will never be in pain again will bring me relief.
I've resisted the nearly overwhelming urge to compulsively read through every single thing I've written about my Mom on my blog to find it. CK also insisted. I think I've got it though. It came to me when I was cross-referencing an older post for the bit I put up recently, 'Stumbling on Joy'.
If my Mom had been reading chronologically, likely starting at the post about my trip to Denver for Jen's memorial, she'd have hit the post called 'A Bitterness'. In it I note the struggle I was having at acknowledging that her death would bring me relief.
Right there. Boom. I'm pretty certain that's it.
And she totally missed the point of it. Missed the struggle, the guilt, the pain in that post. The profound sorrow for her unhappy life.
She also missed that it was written in the Summer of 2010 when we all thought Mom had Stage 4 stomach cancer and didn't want to go through surgery or chemo for it. A time when I was really struggling and agonizing about my Mom's imminent death. We were all certain we were just ticking down the days until we would lose her.
I think my Mom tends to look for the worst. She really wants the best, but she doesn't believe it is possible. Maybe she doesn't believe she's worth the best, I can see her having got that message during her own childhood full of abuse. I don't know the reason, we've never really talked about it, but I'm pretty sure she expects and looks for the worst.
I think she ran across what was for me a moment of real agony and profound sadness for her life. She looked for the worst in me and decided she'd found it. Then she disconnected her phone number and told WD she was moving out to Corbett. That's why I can see her deciding that I was of no help or use to her in making the move into the apartment she'd fallen in love with.
There was a time in my life I practiced Mom's habit of expecting the worst out of life. I was miserable, obese, depressed, and in an unhappy marriage. It wasn't how I was as a child, but I grew into this habit almost like it was just part of "growing up".
It has been hard work, but I think I'm coming back to expect the best, particularly out of people. I'm shaky at this relearned skill. It is pretty easy to fall back into the trap of feeling like I don't deserve the best, something I learned in my childhood. I practice though. I acknowledge my brain coming up with all the worst-case scenarios and try to meet a person or a moment without expecting that the worst will happen. Most of the time I am relieved to find that instead of the worst, people reveal their best to me.
Sometimes we learn by watching and seeing what not to do. I watched my family and I've generally applied myself to doing exactly the opposite of them. Some people rebel by making destructive choices. My life of compassion, yoga, meditation, art, laughter, friends, and community is one big act of rebellion against the example my family set for me.
3 Comments (+add yours?)
I feel so connected to you and your experience. I had a very similar relationship with my mother, who died of 2 undiagnosed cancers 7 years ago, after a lifetime of unhappiness. You're an amazing person and I admire your spirit.
If only your mom could lease the hurt and let them go like feathers in the wind, and start a new journey of hopefulness and joy. I pray she can and will find that place, and have you by her side smiling.
doh, I meant release.

Out of Office Reply - a kick off to my Key West adventure
Author: Tucker Ladd
I felt a certain level of superiority as I sat on the plane awaiting takeoff. Maybe it was due to the fact I was sitting in first class (a benefit of waiting until the last minute to book your flight, when the price difference between coach and first class is $100), or perhaps is was the fact that I was headed for a 5 day run of tarpon fishing out of Key West. Ah yes, this is most likely the culprit of my current state of mind.
Looking around the plane, I feel certain that nobody around me (other than my travel and fishing companion) is destined for the kind of toils and adventures I'm in store for. It slowly starts to sink in, my office for the next 5 days: extensive ocean flats. Our targeted prey: large migratory tarpon, resident permit, and maybe the occasional bonefish. Obligations for the next week: eat, sleep, fish, repeat.

For a number of years, my sons had a canned food drive for their birthdays instead of presents. After the party, we would bike on down to the Oregon Food Bank. The staff at The Oregon Food Bank did a great job of making my sons feel good about their actions. I have always appreciated the work done here.
On August 2, 2012, I biked my way down to The Oregon Food Bank again, but this time it was for something different. Read the rest of this entry >>

N.C. House approves new abortion legislation
by Anna Oakes
The N.C. House of Representatives voted 74-41 Thursday on a new version of abortion legislation following the governor's threat to veto a similar bill passed by the N.C. Senate.
A House committee on Wednesday added new
language to an existing bill on motorcycle safety, Senate Bill 353, that would amend abortion laws
in the state. The language includes some of the provisions approved by the Senate last week in
House Bill 695 but differs in that it would not require abortion clinics to meet similar license
standards as those required for ambulatory surgical centers.
Critics said that measure aimed to reduce access to abortion services, as only one clinic in the state currently meets those standards.
S353's new language would ban sex-selective abortions and bar health plans under the new federal health care exchange from covering abortion services -- provisions already approved by the House in other bills. It would also require a physician performing a surgical abortion to be physically present during the entire abortion procedure; for a drug-induced abortion, the physician would have to be present only for administration of the first drug, a change from H695.
Unlike H695, S353 would not require abortion clinics to meet ambulatory surgical center standards; instead, it directs the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services to apply similar standards to abortion clinics to address patient safety "while not unduly restricting access."
"Our abortion centers need to be brought into the 21st century," said Rep. Ruth Samuelson, a Republican from Charlotte.
But Rep. Beverly Earle, a Charlotte Democrat, said she was insulted by the maneuvers to enact the changes so quickly and without sufficient public notice.
"We've made a mockery of women's health and safety," Earle said. Rep. Jean Farmer-Butterfield, a Democrat from Wilson, said the bill could still force clinics to close depending on what standards DHHS puts into place.
The changes to S353 came after Republican Gov.
Pat McCrory on Wednesday threatened to veto H695 "unless significant changes and clarifications are
H695 passed the Republican-led Senate on second reading July 2 only hours after the abortion language was added to a bill on foreign laws. State Sen. Dan Soucek of Boone told Watauga Democrat on Tuesday that he submitted the amendment in the Senate Judiciary I Committee that added the abortion language to H695.
DHHS Secretary Aldana Wos urged the House to "spend more time studying these issues" at a public hearing held by a House committee Tuesday.
H695 was scheduled to be considered for concurrence in the House Wednesday but was withdrawn from the calendar and referred to a committee. The same day, S353 was amended and placed on the House calendar for Thursday.

A. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in their policy statement on The Use and Misuse of Fruit Juice in Pediatrics makes it clear that 'there is no nutritional indication to feed juice to infants younger than 6 months.'
They also recommend that juice be given only in a cup, not in a bottle, and that if you do give your older infant juice, then 4-6 ounces of juice would be more than enough for the entire day.
Keep in mind that this is really a daily limit though and not necessarily an endorsement for drinking juice. Since most kids drink too much juice and drinking juice can be associated with having cavities, diarrhea, not eating well, and being overweight, you would be better off giving your older infant fruit instead of fruit juice.
If you do give your child juice, do follow these tips from the AAP:
- when you give your child juice, it should be 100% pasteurized fruit juice and not fruit drinks and you should offer it to your infant in a cup only and not a bottle
- infants under 6 months of age should not be given juice, although many Pediatricians do recommend small amounts of juice for children that are constipated
- younger children aged 1 to 6 years should have only 4-6 ounces of juice a day.
- older children should be limited to 8-12 ounces of juice a day
- instead of juice, children should be encouraged to eat whole fruits

Bellaire / Shanty Creek Cabins or Farmhouses(10)
10 Results
Recent Bellaire / Shanty Creek Reviews
The Cabin was very clean and well supplied for our needs. A lot of simple necessities were supplied that normally are not at other places (paper towels, napkins, paper plates, coffee, shampoos, etc...) The kitchen was well stocked and we were VERY pleased with the bedrooms and bathrooms (4!!!!). We enjoyed sledding right outside the cabin and the pools and hot tubs were a big hit with all. Everyone was very sad when it came time to leave. All nine of us want to come back again. We are definitely recommending this place to others. ( We would have given 5 stars if there had been wifi, our only regret. Everything was exactly as advertised ) Nelson Family
We had a couple's getaway at this cute little cabin. I wanted to mention a few things that weren't on the previous reviews or the descriptions. There is a stove, but no oven. However, they do have a toaster oven. We did not know this, but it didn't impact us too much. There is also a grill to use and a fire pit, so plenty of ways to cook food. Also, the neighbors are quite close. This wasn't a problem for us at all, but it is worth noting. The owners were very helpful. The glass roof and glass wall that faces the lake was beyond beautiful. The listing says 2 doubles, but the second room is a bunkbed (the bottom bunk is a double in size, but the top bunk is quite low making it somewhat tricky for an adult or two to sleep under there). Overall, we had some surprising when arriving there, but many were good surprises! I would recommend the cabin and I would love to go back.
Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this property. The cabin was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The lake was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It was nice to have the rowboat for fishing. Bellaire was close by and a nice little town. Good restaurants and shops. Traverse City was not far away and easy to get to. Charlevoix was also close by and was not someplace we had been to before. The Apple Fest was very nice and the Friske Orchard and Farm Market should not be missed. There were a couple of small maintenance issue with the cabin, four burnt out lights with no replacement bulbs available, smoke detector battery was low with no replacement battery available ( so had to listen to the beeping last night there) and the dining room light fixture stopped working. Could not find the breaker box to see if that was the issue. Overall a great stay, would recommend to others.

Fresh, plump raspberries are so abundant in the summer that sometimes it's hard to know what to do with them. They're fabulous fresh from the garden, of course, and always lovely in desserts and jams, but they can also add unexpected spark and complexity to savory foods — from salads to BBQ ribs. Resplendent in vibrant red (and equally gorgeous in their exotic black, yellow, orange, purple and white varieties), raspberries bring an artful, delicate touch to all kinds of dishes. Read on for ways to enjoy them now, at the height of their season, as well as how to creatively preserve the big harvest, so you can continue to enjoy raspberries' vibrant gifts during the colder months to come.
Quick and Easy
- Breakfast Bowl: Top a big handful of raspberries with nuts, dried fruit, shaved coconut and chia seeds. Then add your choice of milk, such as coconut, hemp, almond or rice. A great alternative to breakfast cereal.
- Vinaigrette: Blend together 1/2 cup raspberries, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Great over salad greens topped with toasted walnuts and chèvre. (For more salad dressing options, see the upcoming September issue.)
- Syrup: Combine 3/4 cup raspberries with 2 tablespoons honey, and cook until soft, then mash and strain through a fine sieve. Add desired amount of chilled syrup to fizzy water to flavor and make your own natural soda drinks. And try drizzled over whole-grain pancakes, oatmeal or tart fruit desserts.
- Infused Vinegar: Add a handful of fresh raspberries (and a sprig of thyme, if you like) to a bottle of white wine vinegar. Steep for a few days and enjoy on salads or braised greens.
- Coulis: Cook 11/2 cups raspberries with 1/2 cup white wine or apple juice. Flavor with 1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot or 1 teaspoon grated citrus zest, if you like. When the raspberries are soft, purée the mixture, and strain through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. Serve the velvety sauce over ice cream, in a yogurt parfait, or with chèvre or other cheeses
- Frozen Fruit Pops: Blend 2 cups raspberries with two bananas in a food processor or blender. The mixture should be thick enough to support a wooden craft stick (if not, add a little more banana). Add a handful of blueberries for playful polka dots. Freeze in ice-pop forms or small paper cups until firm.
Nutrition Know-How
- Dark berries, including raspberries, are a good source of phytonutrients and antioxidants, including ellagic acid, a tannin that helps prevent cell damage from free radicals and slows tumor growth.
- Anthocyanins, the flavonoids that give red raspberries their color, contribute to fresh and frozen berries' high antioxidant level. There are notably fewer anthocyanins in processed raspberry products, including jams. (Freezing raspberries doesn't significantly affect their antioxidant properties, but it does reduce their plentiful vitamin C by half.)
- Anthocyanins also help prohibit too much growth of certain bacteria and fungi in the body, like Candida albicans, which can contribute to irritable bowel syndrome and vaginal infections.
- Raspberries are an excellent source of fiber, and because they rank low on the glycemic index, they're a good fruit option for those managing their blood-sugar levels.
Kitchen Tricks
- Freeze an abundant crop of berries in a single layer on a sheet tray, and then transfer to an airtight freezer container. This helps berries freeze separately and keeps them from getting squashed.
- For best results when straining puréed raspberries, don't just press the purée through a sieve — the seeds will clog the holes. Instead, tap the edges of the sieve until most of the mixture passes through. Then squish.
Shopping and Storage Tips
- When purchasing, select plump, brightly colored berries. Remove any moldy or soft ones so they don't contaminate the others.
- Raspberries rarely keep well for more than a few days. They'll do best in a moisture-proof container (preferably in single layers between paper towels) in the refrigerator. Wash berries right before eating.
- To keep raspberries fresh longer, swish them in a basin filled with a solution of three parts water to one part vinegar. Drain, pat dry and store in the paper-towel-lined container in the refrigerator.
Raspberry-Ginger BBQ Sauce
This sweet, tangy, smoky sauce is terrific brushed on grilled meat or vegetables.
Makes about 11/2 cups
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tbs. chopped fresh gingerroot
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbs. adobo sauce
- 2 tbs. honey
- 3 tbs. molasses
- 1/4 cup minced onion
Simmer all ingredients together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and spattering. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, until BBQ sauce is slightly thickened. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Raspberry Arugula Salad
Dressed with a tarragon vinaigrette, this makes a wonderfully refreshing light lunch or first course.
Serves four
- 4 cups arugula
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 cups sliced cucumber
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted almonds
- 3 tbs. sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar (or raspberry vinegar)
- 1 tsp. chopped fresh tarragon
- 5 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together. Toss with salad ingredients in a large bowl and serve
Raspberry Crisp
Luscious raspberries and plums are topped with a crunchy crumble of oatmeal, pecans and brown sugar. Other types of fruit, such as apples, peaches and nectarines, also work well in this recipe. Try subbing in maple syrup for the brown sugar.
Serves four
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 4 medium plums, pitted and cut into chunks, about 3 cups
- 2 tsp. potato starch
- Zest and juice of one lemon
- 2 tbs. honey
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking oats), divided
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 tbs. butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
Toss the raspberries and plums with the potato starch, lemon zest, lemon juice and honey, and spread into a 1-quart baking dish or pie plate. In a food processor, blend 1 cup rolled oats with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter until it can be compressed into a crumble. Pulse in the pecans and gently stir in the remaining ½-cup rolled oats. Spoon topping over the fruit and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature and top with crème fraîche, whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Great Food and Hospitality at Joe's BBQ (Northern, GA)
BBQ Is A Great Southern Tradition and Craft To Be Expertly Honed and Handed Down from One Generation to the NextOn a recent business trip to Atlanta we set aside some time for a day-trip up into the mountains of Northern Georgia, a driving sojourn which would ultimately lead us not only to the town of Blue Ridge, GA but also the most hospitable dinner table at Joe's BBQ.
A quaint town nestled in northern Georgia's scenic mountains, Blue Ridge, GA boasts a population of little more than 1,200 people in a town barely more than 2 square miles in size. This is the epitome of relaxed southern-mountain living, the sort of town that makes the most of what it's got and in doing so has created a community and culture that accommodates both locals and tourists alike. Want to go shopping? They've got that covered. Looking for high-end dining? You've got several choices. Want to eat at a Cupcake Wars winning cupcakery? They've got that covered too! But perhaps most importantly, un-ostentatiously situated atop the hill that overlooks the historic downtown resides smoky culinary mecca that is Joe's BBQ.
Having wandered up the hill in search of BBQ we discovered that the hour was getting late and Joe's would soon be closing, bummer because we had heard such good things about this tiny eatery. As my wife made her way back to the car having just looked at the hours out pops an older gentleman with gray hair beckoning us to come on in and they would take care of us… Clearly not the sort of hospitality we routinely know back in Florida we were both immediately taken by the kind gesture and followed who we would soon learn was Joe back inside to a warm, friendly, clean and comfortable dining room that resembled the sort of log-cabin you always picture when thinking of mountain get-aways.
Joe was quick to tell us that they didn't have much food left as they had been cleaned out by a large party and take-out orders but they would be happy to see what they had left and make sure we "got fed." A quick run-down of the food still available revealed some chopped pork, bbq chicken and ribs. My wife and I made sure to ask that we were not putting either Joe or his staff out with eating so close to closing or making them scramble to come up with food? The response was overwhelming from both Joe and the entire staff that they were happy to have us.
Sold on the notion we were not an inconvenience to this amazing little restaurant's staff my wife and I opted for the BBQ chicken and chopped pork respectively. Our sides consisted of potato salad and cole slaw for myself and a double order or potato salad for my wife. Immediately the ladies in the restaurant scurried about while Joe talked to us a bit and asked us where we from and how we had enjoyed our time in the town, etc… Never one did we let on that we owned a magazine or did food reviews and all the while Joe made us feel welcome as he shared information about the town and some of the other restaurants and eateries.
Then in short order our food appeared at the table… We were now nearly the only diners in the restaurant as those people who were there when we arrived had begun to trickle out, wishing the staff and Joe a good evening as they left. The food looked amazing, BBQ as simply elegant and smoke ringed as it should always be. No flash, no embellishment just the requisite simple presentation that all good purveyors of BBQ readily master. The pork was moist, tender and smoky even without the sauce. The chicken fell off the bone it was so tender and moist. Then there was the sauce, savory and spicy with just the right amount of vinegar and sweetness to perfectly compliment the smoky flavored meats. Certainly nothing store-bought or doctored here, this was exactly the type of one-off sauced you expect from any great pit-master. The sides were fresh and excellent as well, and while the coleslaw was excellent it paled in comparison to the creamy savory potato salad…a potato salad that both my wife and I immediately agreed upon as the best we had ever had out…anywhere. Then Joe popped into the back for a moment and reappeared holding a different bottle of sauce…Alabama white sauce. A bit skeptical at first my quizzed Joe about it and we learned it is a sauce popular on chicken that you find in Alabama and some of the more western southern states. A sort of creamy, vinegary horseradish laden concoction that while sounding a bit peculiar to describe really was quite excellent and serves to bring out the smoky goodness of BBQ chicken.
Not wanting to loiter or keep these kind people any later than we had to, we quickly ate our dinner and took about half to go. The prices were reasonable, in fact the prices were by Florida or Atlanta standards quite affordable. We said our thanks and good-byes to both Joe and his kindly staff and wished them well on their weekend. Joe walked us out and as we were saying our good-byes my wife made mention that she professionally baked cupcakes and happened to have a massive cooler of them in the BMW, headed for the 8th annual Z Nationals in Atlanta the following day…and would Joe and his staff like some? Taken back and appreciative, my wife put a sampler pack together for Joe and his staff to enjoy…we then shook hands and parted ways. Our sincerest hope, being that Joe and the entire crew at Joe's BBQ enjoyed those cupcakes if only a tenth as much as we had our enjoyed our most hospitable dinner with them. Thanks Joe!

Socks and Blackie, the ended their journey to the U.S. this morning. As Guardians of Rescue volunteers went to the airport to pick them up, Erin, Kayla and I went into "OH MY GOD, COMPANY IS COMING!" mode and did a final sweep through the facility to make sure everything was "just so" to welcome our oversees guests.
We cleaned, we put together beds, we set up their feeding station, we decorated the kennels – the three of us were in total overdrive. Even our regular campers were excited! (OK, maybe they just enjoyed the nice weather and all the activity but why split hairs.)
And then they arrived! Filthy, scared and completely baffled. However, after a big lunch and a spa treatment, Socks and Blackie (who we'd like to rename Shoes or Sandals, haha!) went about exploring. They ran around, laid on their beds, peed on their beds, played with their toys, ya know, acted like dogs. Both are very lovable and sociable, considering everything they've been through.
I've had a few people ask me what breeds they are. Truth is, I have no idea. They look almost like border collie/lab mixes but I can't imagine what either of those breeds would be doing in Afghanistan. Regardless, they're absolutely adorable!
I'll update as I can. Another round of dogs are due in so I'm sure tomorrow will be just as hectic! As always, check out the and Guardians of Rescue Facebook for more updates!

Coleman, a Tennessee transfer out of Tennessee-Chattanooga, but the pick is made more interesting by who is still out there — college football's winningest all-time quarterback, Kellen Moore. He remains on the board as we get into Mr. Irrelevant territory.
