Trail Ridge Road Opens Early Due To Warm Weather
By Emily Boyer
Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is now open for the summer season. This isn't the only mountain roadway opening almost two weeks ahead of schedule.
Trail Ridge Road closes by late October and spends half the year covered with ice and snow. It's normally reopened by Memorial Day weekend. But, officials say because of the mild winter this year, the road needed less repair and maintenance crews were able to start working earlier.
In 2011, heavy snowstorms forced the road to remain close until June 6th. The earliest the road has ever been opened was May 7 of 2002, the year Colorado experienced a drought.

Political and Social Blog. A Magazine Forum on public and private thoughts, meanderings, and odds and ends. (Disclaimer: The views held on this blog are our views, and not necessarily the views of any organisation we are involved with or represent)

Twenty Questions to a Fellow Blogger Part XCVII: Holyrood Patter
What made you decide to start blogging?
Unlike most people, I didn't start reading blogs for a while, leaving the odd comment, and then commit to my own. I started my blog as soon as I became aware of the scottish blogosphere. I had a glance over some political blogs when the total politics countdown of blogs was announced and thought, I want to be a part of this. Like many moaners, I was astounded at the level of bias against the SNP in the Mainstream Media, so I wanted an objective look at scottish politics. Its hard to do that completely, but I think since I started I have kept it reasonably free of really bad bias.
What is your best blogging experience?
Early in the blog's life, I showed my opposition to the SNP's alcohol proposals. I wasn't disrespectful, I just thought it was a vote loser. It wasn't that the story was particularly good, but when people know you work in some capacity for the party, there is always a danger you get accused of just being a mouthpiece, angling for a seat, and that all you do is re-print press releases. By stating my opposition, I felt good that I had more credibility as an independent voice in the party. More recently, I posted on an illegal paypal link on the website of a Labour MSP, David Whitton, which has since been removed. It shows someone who matters is reading the blog, and that MSPs on the fiddle have as much to fear from bloggers as they do from the likes of the Mail on Sunday.
And your worst?
Again, early in the life of the blog, I posted on an argument between parliament researchers through e-mail. On reflection, I broke some unwritten laws (and in fact probably some actual laws!) and regret it still.
What do you regard as your best blog entry?
It is personal touches like these that can make a blog. It also shows, right after many were getting very excited about it, that the VAT cut was a complete waste of time an money. This was, of course, when we thought that 12bn was a lot of money, it seems practically buttons now.
Favourite blogs?
In Scotland, there simply isn't any beating SNP Tactical Voting. A political commentator free of parliamentary pressures, or editorial pressures, just someone with really insightful opinions, and the right amount of random chat. Subrosa, J Arthur Macnumpty, and Malc in the burgh are also goo for differing views. From the dark side, Yapping Yousuf is always worth a read, and is in fact a nice guy to talk to, and having a healthy debate with. Too nice actually, I am not supposed to get on well with Labour hacks!
What inspired you to go into politics?
Probably my mum. Ive always considered myself of the left, but my mum is a real left winger, and a former SSP candidate. I was always going to be averse to Labour, given the fact i had been faced with a Labour MP, MSP and council for my entire politcally aware life, none of whom inspired me, and I seen first hand how Labour took Scotland for granted, something I was glad to see the SNP smash in 2007, and something I wanted to be a part of.
Whats the best thing about working in the Scottish Parliament?
The childlike glee of being in a lift with people you have seen on television. The social side of it, surprisingly cross party, is also a very positive aspect. It feels like one big workplace, rather than lots of individual party workplaces.
The SNP are about halfway through their term in government. Is it more tough than you imagined?
Yes and No. From November to March, we had it really tough. Every headline was negative, and with Gray and Jim Murphy getting a fawning press, and Salmond seeming to get portrayed as a political incompetent, when he is probably Scotlands best politician, not because of his politics, but his skills as an orator, something still unrivalled in the parliament. In all honesty the first 19 months were probably easier than anyone could have imagined, Wendy was an absolute disaster and is still giving us ammo right up to the end of this term. Labour seem to have finally got over the fact they lost, something that they made harder than it should have been. They are still obsessed with the SNP, something which is both flattering and depressing on their behalf, sometimes I think they should have a cull in their press office. Every press release mentions the SNP at least twice, and although they are the official opposition, they have no real alternatives to the SNPs policy.
Is there anywhere abroad which you haven't been to, that you would like to visit?
South Africa is somewhere I am still hoping to visit in 2010, if Scotland get their footballing act together. in Greenock, they often advertise Nordic cruises, something I hope to do in the future.
Is there anywhere abroad you have visited, that you would love to revisit?
I love visiting London. When my family moved back to Scotland from East London in the 90s, they promised to go back every year to visit. I havent made every trip, but its always good to get back to the roots. Barcelona is one of those places that seems modern and historical all at once.
Who, excluding the present SNP leader and First Minister, do you regard as the best First Minister, and who do you regard as the best SNP leader?
I would have to say John Swinney, not only because hes the only other leader in my lifetime, but because he got such a hard time as leader, and still does, which is unfair. Having said that, I do think he has found his ideal role at finance, perhaps the most difficult department. For First Minister, I would say Jack McConnell circa 2005. There were a lot of disasters in his leadership, but I dont know who can argue with the smoking ban. For all his faults, and his current laziness, he can assure himself he has made a nation healthier.
Which political figure has been your greatest inspiration?
Anyone who left the Labour party in the wake of it changing to new. There are a few left wingers who believed they could change what was a thatcherite agenda, but those who recognised this wasn't the party they joined. If ever the SNP changes, I hope I never put selfishness ahead of principle the way many in "New Labour" have.
Favourite Bond movie?
Casino Royale. But Quantum of Solace was the worst. Interesting.
Favourite Doctor Who?
David Tennant. And I am not convinced about this new guy. It had to be Patterson Joseph or Russell Tovey I though. I still think Alan Davies fits the bill also.
Chocolate, vanilla, or mint?
I am going to cheat and say mint Chocolate.
Which Band, past or present, would you most like to see in concert?
Motion City Soundtrack. I am going to see Bruce Springsteen in July, thats a "thigns to do before you die" moment.
In terms of visiting for the weekend, Oxford, Cambridge, or Barsby, Leics..?
Better the devil you know. I have only ever been to Oxford and it was good, if permanently wet.
Favourite national newspaper?
The Times still, to my shock, seems to be avoiding the questionable political leanings of its proprietor, but I still religously buy the Scotsman, and will do till the day it dies(probably quite soon!)
What would you say your hobbies were?
Football, supporting (without great success) Greenock Morton and perennial lower league strugglers Leyton Orient. Socialising with friends who aren't interested in politics(that is, all my friends) is always a chuckle, but most of them work at wekends, so the best night out always seems to be the pub quiz we do every wednesday, with our team name always a variation on the name of a legendary scottish footballer, Andy Ritchie.
And what would you say were your three favourite songs and three favourite books
(Bar the Bible and The Complete Works of Shakespeare)?
Songs: LG Fuad - Motion City Soundtrack
Festival - Sigur Ros
Hysteria - Muse
Books: Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkein
The Acid House - Irvine Welsh
Angels in America - Tony Kushner

I'm going to see the Boss too - saw you yesterday at conference, meant to say hello but got chatting to other folk. When you in parly again and do you get excited when I'm in the lift too lol??
- Political Dissuasion said...
Seems like you sort of pity the Labour Party in Holyrood - almost craving them to get better so that you guys can really get your teeth into it and prove yourself in a proper political setting?
Also nice to see another non-hack.
(As a Scotsman based in South Woodford, I'll say hello to Leytonstone for you)
- SPQR said...
I would like to invite you to join my group in facebook in battling the cheaters in pub quizzes using their phones. It's a little unfair that if you've got the money to own one, that you can cheat and receive all the glory of winning your local pub quiz.
Let's get united to Stop Pub Quiz Rascals

i dont think i have been in a lift with you anne, and we have shared too many chats over cups of tea for me to get starry eyed in your prescence :)

Fort St. John is known as a city that always has many people coming and going. However, sometimes the many different services within the community that provide services and support to immigrant people are forgotten.
Three local organizations were honoured on Tuesday, Nov 6, for their contribution in providing immigrant services and resources in British Columbia. S.U.C.C.E.S.S., Peace River North Settlement Workers in Schools Program (SWIS) and Fort St. John Literacy Society were given awards at the at the WelcomeBC celebration.
�It means a lot, it means that we are being recognized,� said Onose Oboh a settlement worker with S.U.C.C.E.S.S.
�Just because Fort St. John is far from most places and it�s a small town the fact still remains that it�s growing and it�s expanding� you have lots of immigrants coming in here.
�We were not expecting it, as an organization, so it came as a pleasant surprise,� noted Oboh.
S.U.C.C.E.S.S. provides immigration support services. Oboh explained that this organization has two parts, The Settlement program which is designed to help people settle into the community and the Welcoming Inclusive Community Program, which creates awareness of diversity and inclusiveness within the community.
Gail Lundquist, Program Coordinator for the Fort St. John Literacy Society explained that the Fort St. John Literacy Society is also excited to be recognized.
�The Fort St. John Literacy Society are very pleased to have received this award,� she said.
It is a non-profit organization that helps promote literacy for all individuals and groups throughout Fort St. John and the local region.
Literacy is something that Lundquist believes is an important skill for immigrants to possess in order to be able to settle into the community and to be able to experience what the community has to offer.
�It's important for newcomers to have basic English skills because they need it for their jobs, to talk to their child's teacher, (pretty much everything).�
Peace River North, Settlement Workers in Schools Program (SWIS) was the final organization to be included in this award. SWIS is a partnership with the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Ministry of Education and School District #60. The program has received funding that will go towards helping new students and their families become part of the school and the community.
Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour Pat Bell explained that he believes these services are essential and that it�s important they get recognized.
�Every year newcomers from around the world chose to call B.C. Home. WelcomeBC Day gives us an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate individual outstanding contributions and the hard work of organizations across B.C. to welcome immigrants into their communities,� said Bell.
The government invests $139.7 million through WelcomeBC during 2012 and 2013 in programs such as English language development, settlement and inclusive communities and labour market participation.

AVON, Ind. -- One of the biggest questions surrounding national signing day in the Indianapolis area was the status of Avon High School defensive end Elijah Daniel. The 6-4, 250-pound defensive end committed to Mississippi in January after previously committing to Clemson. Then last weekend he took a visit to Auburn, which raised more questions.
Avon coach Mark Bless wasn't sure as late as Tuesday night which school the highly sought Daniel would choose. Daniel, dressed in an Auburn pullover and stocking hat, officially faxed his letter of intent to Auburn at 7:01 a.m. Wednesday.
"It was mainly (Auburn) because of my family and me knowing (defensive line coach Rodney Gardner) for a long time," said Daniel, who is from Alabama. "Me and my family came to an agreement (Tuesday) that it was the best choice for me."
Daniel, ranked No. 51 nationally in the senior class in the composite rankings from 247sports.com, said he came away from his Auburn visit with a favorable impression of the program. But he also had strong feelings for Ole Miss and the connection he had established there.
"It was a real tough decision," he said. "I really liked Ole Miss. But after talking with my family, they convinced me Auburn was the better place for me."
Daniel's older brother, Montez Robinson, played at Georgia under Gardner, who was hired at Auburn last month and has a reputation as a strong recruiter.
"They expect me to come in right away and help with pass rushing," Daniel said.
If Daniel could do it all over again, he said he would have taken more time in the recruiting process. He regrets that he committed twice before ultimately signing with Auburn.

Despite her professional background in business finance, PennySue Larsen always had a fondness for the simple pleasures of creating delicious Scandinavian baked goods - something she started doing at age 9, thanks in part to a rich culture passed down from her Danish mother and Swedish father.
With four nearly grown boys at home ranging in age from 17 to 26, Larsen wanted to so something more personal and close to her heart. She had been pondering how to pursue that childhood love for quite a while when she happened upon downtown Cole Street and the site that formerly housed Suburban Soul on Cole, which closed earlier this year.
The building was perfect for what she envisioned would be a resort retail business, celebrating the destination of the Pacific Northwest and built around those baked goods she so loved as a child. "It's quiet yet has a touch of flair," she said. "You walk in and it has that resort feel to it."
And thus, Creekside of Enumclaw was born. Larsen had a soft opening last Thursday, Nov. 1, and despite a small inventory hiccup thanks to Hurricane Sandy, she's getting all systems up and running ahead of Creekside's official grand opening on Dec. 1.
In the current winter season, customers can find an assortment of apparel, candles and gifts, home decor accessories, skin care products and more. Larsen carries brands including Powderhorn Outerwear, Clara S resort eveningwear and Sun Bum sunscreen products downstairs, along with leather jackets and throws by the Montana Clothing Company.
She will also have available some winter recreational gear including snowboards, snowshoes, hiking poles and backpacks.
Upstairs, Larsen is helping to display the work of local furniture craftsmen and artists such as photographer Cathy Simpson in a space designated for visitors to take a load off and enjoy a hot drink, a glass of wine or a snack. The set up is modeled after the Swedish tradition of fika, or a coffee break.
While she gets her business ramped up, Larsen is currently sourcing her Scandinavian pastry offerings from a Northwest baker but aims to start producing her homemade baked goods after she gets things going. Creekside also carries baked goods from local baker Aaron Brenner.
Free wifi is available, and Larsen is rounding up talent to be able to provide live acoustic music every other Friday.
Basically what customers will find at Creekside is "everything you see at resorts," Larsen said.
The concept of a resort might seem intimidating to those on tight budgets who can't afford to splurge, but Larsen said the inventory she carries has something for everyone. "I want everyone to feel good when they walk through my door," she said.
And when the snow melts and the skis need to be put away in the summertime, Larsen's prepared as well to switch her inventory to includde paddleboards, camping equipment, and swim apparel.
With Enumclaw's close proximity to Crystal Mountain, it made sense to use the space to celebrate the outdoor culture of this area. "I wanted to capture what the essense of the Pacific Northwest was all about -- the outdoors, hiking and enjoying yourself in nature."
Creekside will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, Dec. 1 along with the Kasey Kahne Store down the street. The first 100 people through the door get to sample Larsen's homemade cupcakes. There will be free coffee too.
The store at 1335 Cole Street is currently open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays with extended hours to 10 p.m. on Fridays featuring acoustic music upstairs, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Closed Sundays.

As others have already stated, Porter's photo/entry should be the winner, as she seems to be the only contestant to have read the rules. I found it very funny that other contestants think that they could win simply by putting on a tie, one that isn't even related to the era.

Congrats to Heather, who won The Rebuilding Year by Kaje Harper! The Rebuilding Year is being released today by Samhain Publishing.
Many thanks to Kim Dare for donating an ebook copy of her forthcoming kinky m/m romance, Facing Fitz, for a lucky commenter to win! Facing Fitz will be released on March 14 by Resplendence Publishing.
It took Harvey months to gradually work up the courage to let his friends set him up on a date with Fitz – a dominant he'd been admiring from afar ever since he set foot on the local kinky clubs. But, when their first scene ended in disaster before it even got started, he was very quick to retreat.
Forget going back to the club where he made a fool of himself. Harvey's determined never to leave the house again. Facing Fitz is out of the question.
Fitz, however, has other ideas. Intrigued by what he saw on that first date he's determined to do a real scene with Harvey. Dominant to the core, Fitz has no intention of walking away from a boy he's genuinely interested in without a fight.
Harvey is going to have to get over his embarrassment and face Fitz sooner or later and, with the help of a few friends, Fitz is determined he'll do that tonight.
Kim's Other Books
About Kim
Kim Dare is a twenty-eight year old full time writer from Wales (UK).
First published in December 2008, Kim has since released over fifty BDSM erotic romances. That means that well over one hundred characters have chattered away inside her head during that time – and that's not even taking into account the fact that there are over three times that number of people clamouring in the wings for a chance to tell their stories. It's no wonder she loses track of what's happening in the "real" world at times…
While Kim's stories range over male/male, male/female and all kinds of menage relationships and have included vampires, time travellers, shape-shifters and fairytale re-tellings, they all have three things in common – kink, love and a happy ending.

70 cars burglarized overnight in Texas college town of Denton
Wow... I don't think this has happened on this scale around here before, this far north of Dallas. That's a good question the police have - How come no one saw it happening? People are usually up all hours in college-town apartment complexes. I guess I can understand how no one heard it, if they used a centerpunch or something.
Vehicles at 4 apartment complexes targeted in one night of break-ins
06:09 PM CDT on Friday, September 7, 2007
By DONNA FIELDER / Denton Record-Chronicle
A day after burglars swarmed through four Denton apartment complex parking lots, breaking windows and stripping available property out of 70 vehicles, police had few leads to follow, a sergeant said.
They took everything from loose change to car stereos, said Detective Sgt. Brad Curtis. We dont have an estimate yet on the dollar amount, but there has to be between $6,000 and $10,000 in broken windows alone.
Sgt. Curtis said he believes the criminals hit the complex lots between 1 and 4 a.m. Thursday. Vehicle owners from the Coventry Apartments in the 500 block of South Interstate 35E, Oak Meadows at 1804 Teasley Lane, The Ridge in the 2700 block of Colorado Boulevard, and Campus Park at 1541 Meadow St. reported burglaries.
Every one of them was along the I-35 corridor, Sgt. Curtis said. Im pretty sure theyre all going to be related.
The sergeant said he did not know why the four complexes were selected for the crimes or how the burglars chose the vehicles they broke into. Most were locked, he said. Investigators still are working to determine whether the burglaries could be connected to similar large burglary sweeps in Fort Worth recently.
Sgt. Curtis said no witnesses had come forward. With that many windows breaking, hes hoping someone saw something they did not realize was criminal behavior at the time, he said.
Saying he took the break-ins personally, Sgt. Curtis said the police were working hard to solve the case.
Thats what we do, he said. Im going to work it and stay on it until I just think there isnt any further I can go.
Anyone with information should call Denton police at 940-349-8181 or call Denton County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-388-TIPS (8477). Callers will remain anonymous.

It's time for Father's Day, graduation parties, and other backyard parties. My favorite thing to bring to these parties are desserts, especially trifles. Trifles are just so easy and so delicious. My favorite is a strawberry-coconut tres leches trifle, and can be made with mostly low fat or no fat ingredients. This trifle is sure to be a hit.
1 lb fresh strawberries
3 pkg (3oz each) soft ladyfingers (about 24 total)
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk, divided
1 can (14oz) unsweetened coconut milkk, divided
1 container (8oz) sour cream
1 container (12oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 pkg vanilla instant pudding and pie filling
1 tsp cinnamon
1. Hull strawberries and slice. Cut ladyfingers into 1 inc pieces; set aside.
2. Whisk together 1/2 cup of the condensed milk, 2/3 cup of the coconut milk, and sour cream in a large bowl. Add ladyfingers and toss gently.
3. Set aside 1 cup of whipped topping. Combine pudding mix and remaining coconut milk in another bowl; whisk until thickened. Add remaining condensed milk and cinnamon; whisk until incorporated. Fold in remaining whipped topping.
4. In trifle bowl, place half the lady finger mixture; top with half the strawberries. Spread half the pudding mixtured over the strawberries. Repeat layers. Either transfer remaining whipped topping into a plastic bag to pipe onto top, or smooth over top of trifle.
Serves about 24

State's immigrant workers score court victories on wages [1]SACRAMENTO BEE
In a major legal win for immigrant workers, thousands of California construction workers will start receiving checks April 15 to compensate for unpaid wages and other alleged labor violations committed during California's housing boom.
The $8.5 million legal settlement benefits nearly 3,100 former and current workers for several companies that built houses in Southern California, the Central Valley, Central Coast and San Francisco East Bay.
A few workers initiated the complaint in 2006 after approaching a Spanish-speaking attorney, but lawyers say the case grew into one of the biggest class-action lawsuits in California involving mostly Latino construction laborers, including some who are undocumented.
"We hope that this sends a strong message that all workers have rights," said one of the attorneys, Gladys Limon of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund's Los Angeles office.
The construction settlement isn't the only indication that courts and government agencies are dealing with long-standing allegations of underpaid immigrant workers.
State Attorney General Jerry Brown's office has a new Underground Economy Unit that investigates businesses for suspected wage and workers' compensation abuse and tax fraud.
And in Tulare County — a week after the construction workers' settlement — a Superior Court judge signed off on a nearly $1.28 million settlement for immigrant dairy workers in the Central Valley.
Suits like these help counter fear among undocumented workers — and legal immigrants — who assume they are not covered by the same labor rights as citizens or are intimidated and afraid to assert themselves, Limon said.
Worker's status 'irrelevant'
MALDEF received a rare endorsement for its victory from Minuteman Project leader Jim Gilchrist, who supports strong measures to deport illegal immigrants. "The lawyers are doing the right thing in going after these slave-trading employers," he said.
But federal officials, he suggested, should now look into prosecuting the businesses for hiring illegal immigrants and deport the workers — with the money they're entitled to get.
California civil code specifically states that "for purposes of enforcing state labor and employment laws, a person's immigration status is irrelevant to the issue of liability."
The dairy settlement benefits about 650 workers, and is believed to be the largest class-action back-wage agreement involving California's dairy industry, according to Mark Talamantes of San Francisco, one of the employees' attorneys.
He has handled five cases over the past decade on behalf of immigrant dairy workers. His partner on some of these cases, California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, reports that dairy workers often report to their offices with complaints of unpaid overtime.
Oakland attorney Bill Lann Lee, who was President Bill Clinton's chief of civil rights in the Justice Department, was part of the team representing the construction workers.
If illegal immigrants are not included under labor rights, he said, employers could have unbridled license to hire and exploit them.
"As a matter of policy, you do not want to create two classes of workers," Lee said.
If you strip a group of rights, he said, "you create an underclass, and then jobs tend to migrate to that underclass and it affects everyone."
Lee said that during legal proceedings, rival attorneys broached the issue of immigration status, perhaps to try to get workers to back down.
"In the context in which it was raised," Lee said, "I think there was an effort to get plaintiffs to think twice about participating and testifying."
Brown: Employers tempted
Brown, the Democratic attorney general, said there is "a great opportunity for exploitation" among immigrant workers.
"Lower-paid workers are often forgotten," he said.
During the housing boom, he said, competition tempted businesses to gain an edge by cheating vulnerable workers and putting "downward pressure" on wages.
Immigration enforcement, Brown also noted, is a federal duty, not the state's.
Census data suggests that immigrants are nearly 37 percent of California's labor force, and that one in every 11 workers in the state is undocumented.
As part of the March settlements to compensate workers, the construction and dairy companies do not admit to committing labor violations.
The construction workers who will share in the $8.5 million settlement — a quarter goes to attorneys' fees — installed insulation, rain gutters, fireplaces, cabinets and other material in new housing subdivisions in California suburbs.
Those entitled to get compensation worked for the Western Insulation Co. or Schmid Insulation Contractors Inc. at any time between Oct. 13, 2002, and Sept. 30, 2008, or for Masco Contractor Services of California Inc. at any time between Jan. 1, 2008, and Sept. 30, 2008.
The companies are subsidiaries of Michigan-based Masco Corp., one of the world's biggest producers of home building products.
Masco spokesperson Kathleen Vokes said Masco has no comment about the lawsuit other than the contents of a press release explaining that workers' payments will depend on length of time on the job and position held.
Ivan Gonzalez, who lives in Thousand Oaks, said he was supposed to earn at least $16 an hour at Schmid, but his pay rarely matched that promise.
Employees didn't get paid, he said, for time loading and unloading material from warehouses, traveling, or working overtime, at night, sometimes illuminated by car headlights.
Workers also alleged they had to pay for their own tools, and if they didn't meet production quotas, their pay was docked in a practice called "negative bonuses."
Gonzalez said supervisors wanted to pay workers a lower wage for time in meetings to plan jobs. Because he objected to this and other unlawful practices, he said, he was fired.
"They thought I didn't know my rights at all," Gonzalez said in Spanish, his first language. "But they found out I did know what I was talking about."
Joel Villaseñor, the Los Angeles County attorney workers first approached, said some were very nervous because they were undocumented, or because they or a relative had an application pending to obtain legal residency. They were worried the lawsuit might jeopardize that, Villaseñor said.
"We told them, 'We don't need to know (status) and it doesn't matter. You're protected,' " he said.
Overtime denied, suit says
In January, Brown's office filed suit against a California drywall business, seeking $3.13 million in restitution for employees and $1 million in civil penalties.
The Bakersfield business is accused of paying workers flat daily rates while denying workers breaks and overtime; withholding workers' wages to use as incentive pay for supervisors; and paying workers in cash to avoid taxes and workers' compensation payments.
Barry Goldner, attorney for Charles Evleth Construction Inc., said his clients deny the allegations and have not yet seen hard evidence backing the claims.
"It's always their intent to comply with the law," Goldner said.
Clarence Bosman, the Tulare County dairyman who was sued by workers, could not be reached for comment.
Martin Bravo, a former Bosman employee, said he earned about $950 every two weeks for what were supposed to be 10-hour shifts. The shifts routinely lasted longer, he said, because he was told to stay and help the next shift of workers.
"They didn't give us lunch breaks. We were milking cows with tacos in our hands. We had to run to attend to all the animals. There were just too many cows," he said. "One felt like a little piece of trash."
Talamantes, the dairy workers attorney, described Bosman and other dairymen he has sued as "hard-working people" who have failed to "reach out" to immigrant workers but who are taking the law more seriously now because they have faced consequences.
"This is impact litigation," Talamantes said. "At one time, the dairy industry was the Wild West of wage law in California."

After her failed presidential bid, Michele Bachmann announced in a January 25, 2012 interview with Associated Press reporter Doug Glass, that she plans to seek a fourth term in Congress, representing her district in Minnesota.
In the report, David Fitzsimmons - the 6th District chairman for Minnesota's Republican Party points out that Democrats have challenged her position three separate times "without seeming to make much of a dent." But that was before her successful win of the Iowa Straw Poll last August 2011. After that event, more details about the Congresswoman came out which put enough negative light on her to cost her the GOP nomination for president. Seeking the higher office brought the hopeful candidate more intense scrutiny.
Known for her Tea Party rhetoric and a staunch advocate of Conservative principles in government, but also for what many call double-standards when it comes to her own family farm benefiting - as reported on the LA Times website in June, 2011 - Ms Bachmann leaves little room for middle ground. Her supporters are nearly as rabid in their support, as are her opponents in their derision of the representative.
But in the state which elected Jesse "The Body" Ventura as a governor and whose most popular representative is former comedian Al Franken, the rest of the country will need to take a "wait and see" approach as to whether her fourth run will be successful. At this point, all bets are off.

Allow me to introduce you to the newest Nette-King. This is Eric Northman (yes, I am a massive Trueblood fan).
I found Eric during an excellent long weekend of op-shopping, garage sale-ing and vintage store rummaging. I was feeling very lucky when Annebelle and I pulled into The Mill vintage market in Newcomb near Geelong, but I certainly didn't expect to leave with a goat in my arms. Annebelle cleaned up too, scoring lots of lovely vintage clothing that only a thirteen year old can get away with wearing. I also found heaps of vintage bowling balls at a garage sale - not sure what I'll do with them yet, but they'll come in handy one day, I suppose!
|Jem and Dougal
The rest of the weekend was spent as planned: sleeping, eating, reading and walking the hound along the beach. Tomorrow, it's back to the real world.

The Attack Queers: Liberal Media and the Gay Right
Verso, Jun 1, 2002 - Social Science - 108 pages
For most of its history, the American gay movement has been part of the democratic Left. Gay liberation's founders were Communists, and its activist core is still overwhelmingly progressive. But in recent years, a more affluent group of gay men has begun to make its mark. Though they are a minority in the queer community (which includes people of all races, classes and genders), conservatives have become the loudest gay voices in the mainstream media. With their withering contempt for feminism and radical politics, these 'gayocons' are changing the movement's public image. Unless their rise is met by a persuasive critique, they may also alter its heart and soul.Homocons offers such a critique. It describes how the gay Right agenda differs from the one the queer community has long embraced. Never abandoning its analysis of the complex relationship between homosexuals and liberal society, the book examines the conflict between liberationists and assimilationists that has raged since the Stonewall era, and explores how political success tipped the balance and facilitated the rise of the gay Right. Finally this book offers an alternative to gay conservatism grounded in queer humanism, a distinct sensibility that has been a major force in progressive thought for more than a century.

OKLAHOMA CITY — P.J. Carlesimo's first big motivational message as the interim coach of the Brooklyn Nets earned him an elusive win in Oklahoma City, and perhaps the kind of jolt his team needs to get out of a monthlong funk.
Joe Johnson scored a season-high 33 points, Deron Williams added 19 points and 13 assists, and the Nets snapped Oklahoma City's 12-game home winning streak by beating the Thunder 110-93 Wednesday night in a game featuring the first ejection of Kevin Durant's career.
Johnson said Carlesimo "jumped on us" after a 31-point thumping at San Antonio two nights earlier, stressing the importance of ball movement on offense and helping each other out on defense.
"To be honest, it helped," Johnson said. "It translated into the game because we were in a spot defensively that we hadn't been in in a while. We was talking, communicating, the ball was moving great, guys were getting wide-open shots and it just kind of played into our hands."
The Nets built a 23-point lead late in the second quarter, then allowed Oklahoma City to tie it at 85 before ripping off a 23-8 run to seize control right back. Durant was ejected near the end of the surge, arguing with Danny Crawford after the referee had already issued a technical foul against Kendrick Perkins.
"I just thought it was a bad call. You get frustrated throughout a game, you show emotion. That's how you can tell you love it," said Durant, who scored 27 points.
The three-time scoring champion had never before been ejected in his six NBA seasons but got tossed after Brooklyn rallied largely from the foul line. The Nets made 11 free throws in a span of just over 5 minutes, pulling away after Oklahoma City had finally fought all the way back.

Play this game as:Applet Jar Web Start Source
Click a tab to play this game!
What was your inspiration for the game?
A game I played on Whirled back in the day. It was pretty much identical as far as I remember, except much more polished. Twas very fun.
Did you run into any challenges while creating the game?
Oh so many. This was my first game in Java, as opposed to Processing, and that alone made enough problems to make any grown man cry. But I powered on through, just to reach logic problems. Balls weren't bouncing properly, circles were teleporting, and even still the percentage-o-meter is just a total guesstimation, because for some reason it wasn't working when I used proper values.
Do you have any future plans for the game?
I don't think so; not in its current state at least. I have a few ideas to jazz it up a bit (coloured balls that do things like exploding after 3 bounces or pushing circles) but I don't think I'll have the time or the will to implement them any time soon.
EDIT: I've noticed that I forgot to remove a little test-dot in the top left corner of the screen. Oh well. It can stay there. Anywho, here's a GIF of me playing and losing the game:

moreThroughout the years that she has lived and worked in East Hampton, Ina Garten has catered and attended countless parties and dinners. She will be the first to tell you, though, that nothing beats a cozy dinner, surrounded by the people you love most, in the comfort that only your own home can provide. In Barefoot Contessa at Home, Ina shares her life in East Hampton, the recipes she loves, and her secrets to making guests feel welcome and comfortable.
For Ina, it's friends and family–gathered around the dinner table or cooking with her in the kitchen–that really make her house feel like home. Here Ina offers the tried-and-true recipes that she makes over and over again because they're easy, they work, and they're universally loved. For a leisurely Sunday breakfast, she has Easy Cheese Danishes or Breakfast Fruit Crunch to serve with the perfect Spicy Bloody Mary. For lunch, she has classics with a twist, such as Tomato, Mozzarella, and Pesto Paninis and Old-Fashioned Potato Salad, which are simply delicious. Then there are Ina's homey dinners–from her own version of loin of pork stuffed with sautéed fennel to the exotic flavors of Eli's Asian Salmon. And since Ina knows no one ever forgets what you serve for dessert, she includes recipes for outrageously luscious sweets like Peach and Blueberry Crumble, Pumpkin Mousse Parfait, and Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing.
Ina also lets readers in on her time-tested secrets for cooking and entertaining. Get the inside scoop on everything from what Ina considers when she's designing a kitchen to menu-planning basics and how to make a dinner party fun (here's a hint: it doesn't involve making complicated food!).
Along with beautiful photographs of Ina's dishes, her home, and the East Hampton she loves, this book is filled with signature recipes that strike the perfect balance between elegance and casual comfort. With her most indispensable collection yet, Ina Garten proves beyond a shadow of doubt that there truly is no place like home.

The city of Murrieta will move ahead in exploring a sister city partnership with Shaoxing County, China, with the intent of improving the local economy.
The vote was 5-0 during a regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday night, and means a committee of two council members will be nominated to study the feasibility of the partnership.
The decision followed Councilman Rick Gibbs' recount of a 12-day trip he recently took to China. Gibbs was invited on the trip by Ron Darling, of Irvine-based American Redevelopment Solutions, LLC. Darling helped secure $12 million for the Olivewood project on Kalmia and Jefferson through foreign investors--many of them from China--and is now seeking the same for the development of the Murrieta Education Center.
"While the developer will fund one-fourth of that, there still needs about three-fourths of that from foreign investment," Gibbs said about the education center project.
"Three years ago the Olivewood project was approved by this Council and low and behold the bank market collapsed," Gibbs said. "...the money did not come from a U.S. bank; it came from the EB5 program."
The EB5 program allows foreign investors to bring their families to live in the U.S. if they invest at least $500,000 that can create at least 10 jobs. This can be enticing because the U.S. has the university system the Chinese seek for their families, Gibbs said.
So Gibbs agreed to go on the trip. His fare was funded by the city of Murrieta as part of its economic development goals of attracting commerce, he said. While there, he gave four presentations and spoke to more than 100 investors.
He also met with the county magistrate of Shaoxing County, which is the birthplace of silk and continues to be a leader in the textile industry.
In May, visited Murrieta as part of a visit to Southern California.
Tuesday's City Council approval means a memorandum of understanding about the potential partnership will be translated and sent to Shaoxing. If accepted, there will be a signing ceremony. Gibbs said the U.S. Department of Commerce would likely arrange an ambassador to be on hand at the ceremony in China.
Each of the council members spoke in support of the budding partnership, with Councilman Alan Long also bringing up the subject of other sister city relationships. Some months ago, Long mentioned forming sister cities with Bad Vöslau, Austria, the hometown of the Juan Murrieta's wife. The city is a spa town with natural hot springs, much like Murrieta was in the early days. It also boasts a wine industry.
Long supports the partnership with Shaoxing, but said, "It is not all about the money with me when we start to talk about sister cities...I just ask that these factors be considered when we get there.
"There are many other reasons to have sister cities and Bad Vöslau really mimics us. In addition to all the history, it is a different aspect; it is certainly not the economic aspect."
Councilwoman Kelly Bennett said traditional sister city relationships are not as useful in this economic climate.
"They (traditional ones) seem to be almost Rotarian," Bennett said. "The identification of additional sister cities should be filtered through (on the basis of economic impact)."
City Manager Rick Dudley said identifying other sister cities could come as part of the committee work.
"My recommendation would be (that) our first focus be Shaoxing, but then as we explore it, it can be open to other options," Dudley said.
Temecula-based manufacturer Roy Paulson spoke on behalf of the Chinese partnership.
"I hear a lot of people get nervous when they hear China, that they are going to take away jobs," Paulson said. "...I think what you have been talking about tonight is (establishing) faith with them, an equal partnership."
Paulson said Honeywell is one of his biggest customers and that they export at least 30 percent of what they buy from him.
"All of my products are made in the U.S.A.," he said. "Around the world, the made in the U.S.A. label is the best possible advertisement you can have."
Councilman Doug McAllister said he supports the MOU and would nominate Gibbs and Bennett to be on the committee, which would also be tasked with getting a group of citizens together to form a sister city foundation separate from the city.
"Folks say well 'what is he (Gibbs) doing in China?'" McAllister said. "Well what he is doing is working on jobs so we don't have to do the commute...a job is a job is a job. I'm all for that. If a job is in Temecula, I'm all for that. If it is in Wildomar or Menifee, then we've done our job. I'd love to see that signing ceremony happen."
Mayor Randon Lane also believes it has the potential to enrich the local economy.
"I see no reason why we would not move forward with this," Lane said.
