Will you Tumbl for me?June 25th, 2012
I'm not posting much, but when I do, you can find me at my Tumblr. Asante sana!
I'm not posting much, but when I do, you can find me at my Tumblr. Asante sana!
I love this quote…
Multi-taksing Stats: Gosh, it's been years since I've done this, but here goes…I posted this whilst grading, tweeting, lounging on the couch thinking about the red velvet waffles I'm going to make in celebration of a milestone later this month and being underwhelmed by the leftover salmon I had for dinner tonight, and helping my bonus daughter with her math homework over the phone.
ETA…A couple of friends have asked about the chicken and red velvet waffles. Read on to see what they look like (WARNING: Do not blame me when you can't focus for the rest of the day.)
Claude McKay wrote the following poem the year my grandmother was born. It still rings true today.
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time=s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.
Claude Mckay, from Harlem Shadows,
copyright, 1922, Harcourt, Brace & Co.
Over at my second cyber-home, CoParenting101.org, we've just announce that we're teaming up with The Ricki Lake Show. Deets.
(I'm sick. I have deadlines. Pardon the brevity.)
It's a blessing and a curse that I've married a man who is a very good dancer. My bonus kids are good dancers too. This means that FedBooHusband and I have had some memorable nights on the dance floor in various cities. He's full of energy and makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the room, even though, as I've said before, this is what I'm working with:
As a kid, I was always the last one to learn a dance, if I ever learned. I remember practicing The Spank and The Smurf in my grandparents living room for over an hour one summer. But I never did get the hang of the Roger Rabbit or the Running Man, which, for an '80s baby is akin to heresy.
I basically have one move: shaking my hips and making sure I look good doing it. Nevertheless, I've danced more with FBH in the 5 years we've been together than I did in all the previous 35 years combined. He makes me feel like dancing, what can I say?
At home, my bonus kids get in on the action, and our living room becomes The Club. The kids like to show off their moves, and fall out laughing at their dad and me (mostly me). But sometimes, they take pity on me. Like this text I received from one of them: "'Teach Me How to Dougie' just came on…you will learn this weekend!"
I'm so excited! She hasn't given up on me. My previous attempt at dougie lessons ended up with her shaking her head. But she believes in me, so dougie we shall!
And maybe after that, I can learn how to Wobble (I'm always about 1.5 years behind these dances):
My heart was heavy this morning. It was definitely shaping up to be a serenity prayer kind of day. Sometimes, in this space, I'm limited as to what I can share because while my stories are mine to tell, I tread lightly on telling other people's stories. I have written (elsewhere) about my bonus children, and how their loving me comes at an emotional cost to them, a cost I wish they didn't have to pay, and one that I would gladly pay for them. If I could. And I never want to make that cost to them higher than it already is.
But what I can always share and celebrate and revel in is their love for me and mine for them.
This is my comfort today. Despite the many things I cannot change, no amount of eye-rolling or lies can change the fact that I enjoy a close, loving relationship with my husband's children. They are treasures in my life. I treasure the mundane and special moments we share, our talks, silly texts, and inside jokes. I have never, ever, ever wanted to take their mother's place. Instead, the children have created a space for me in their lives and in their hearts, and for that I'm grateful. Children have a boundless amount of love to give and they can never have too many people in their lives who love and care for them.
All children are gifts. Just showing up in a child's life doesn't entitle you to anything. Giving birth doesn't either. How we love children teaches them how to love others. How we treat children teaches them what they can and should expect from others. A child's love is a humbling thing. All we can do as adults is try and be worthy and embrace the gift when children open their hearts to us.
I'm grateful for the four girls who freely choose to open their hearts to me. I believe my children love me for the same reason my bonus children do: Not because I'm their mother and they're obligated to love me, but rather because they choose to love me. Being a mother doesn't entitle me to anything that I don't prove worthy of by my actions and commitment. And obligatory love is no love at all. No one is owed a child's love. Even, or perhaps especially, biological parents shouldn't take this gift for granted. None of us have that kind of time.
We have a saying in our family, one that TechBooHusband and I share with each other, and that we've passed along to the kids: "I don't always like you, but I always love you." I was texting with my bonus daughters today and one of them wrote, "Okay…stepparent who loves and likes me ." She understands that love is a choice, that we've chosen to open our hearts to each other, and that this is a special thing. And with that reminder, I had to get out of my earlier funk: I am blessed.

Swype updated for Symbian^3. Get it from Nokia Beta Labs
Not sure how recent this is but fahoum and Nils has notified us of a SWYPE update for Symbian^3. I think Swype is awesome but NOT for two handed landscape, and is even worse one handed-landscape. I can type much faster with the standard landscape keyboard (turn prediction/autocorrect on, it's actually quite good).
Swype – it really is, in my opinion, meant for one handed portrait QWERTY swyping (and we may not get this until we receive a default portrait QWERTY). Though I do know some really like landscape Swype too.
As you can see, there are some changes compared to the old SWYPE.
- Text box larger due to buttons moving to the side
- Keyboard shorter in height
- Keyboard narrower in length due to buttons moving from top to the side.
I think this is a good change, smaller keyboard more useful for one handed swyping – less travel for your fingers.
Fingers crossed for portrait Swype/Split screen swype. Perhaps the option too just to have swype for portrait and normal QWERTY for landscape.
Are you a Swype user?

If you read the swype responses on beta labs you will see all these changes were for pr2.0.
What I am most excited about is Vlingo is finally availsble for the n8.
what i like even more about the new Vlingo is its a full version, and has a better implementation of the homescreen widget.
plus its very accurate , even with my foreign english acccent
vingo is very good like it also
If you like portrait qwerty, try this: http://shouji.baidu.com/input/
please N8 users tell me-IF N8 ABLE TO PLAY YOUTUBE,MY SPACE,DAILYMOTION,METACAFE VIDEO IN INBUILT BROWSER??? Q-2)Does it able to load heavy webpages in inbuilt browser without automatic exiting as seen in previous phone???
please N8 users tell me-IF N8 ABLE TO PLAY YOUTUBE,MY SPACE,DAILYMOTION,METACAFE VIDEO IN INBUILT BROWSER??? WHAT IS THE RAM OF N8 AFTER 10 MINUTES OF BOOTING
Q-2)Does it able to load heavy webpages in inbuilt browser without automatic exiting as seen in previous N and E series phone???
It can play videos from those sites.
and depends on how heavy website,engadget loads fine full site but if u have 2 heavy tabs then browser will exit with memory full eror eventho free ram will be around 70mb!
After booting free ram is around 150mb which depletes to 120 after a days heavy use
Very disappointing change. The sizing of the previous keyboard was perfect, and should have been the sizing of the stock QWERTY. Now they've made it the same size as the stock QWERTY on Symbian^3, which is too small. Looks like I'm keeping old Swype keyboard.

Academics are the cornerstone of the Honors Program, and we want to ensure that students take full advantage of Honors academics. It is important for you to know how many honors courses or credits you need to take per year as you work toward Sophomore Honors, graduation as an Honors Scholar, and Honors Participation requirements.
Honors Participation Requirements
The minimum academic participation requirements vary depending upon your catalog year, which is usually the year that you entered the University. Earning Honors credit may mean taking an Honors course, converting a course to Honors, or taking a graduate course towards graduation requirements. Exceptions may be given for studying abroad for the academic year or participating in internship/co-op work for the academic year.
- If you are following the 2011-2012 Undergraduate Catalog or earlier, you must earn Honors credit at least once per academic year.
- If you are following the 2012-2013 Undergraduate Catalog or later, you must earn 6 Honors credits per academic year.
Dismissal Due to Insufficient Honors Credits
- Each summer the Honors Program will review your record to verify that you have met the academic participation requirement.
- If you have not fulfilled the minimum academic participation requirement for your catalog year, you will be sent a link to an Honors Coursework Participation Form (coming summer 2014) requesting documentation of your Honors coursework participation.
- Please fill out the required Honors Coursework Participation form by the deadline listed on the form.
- If you do not complete this form by the deadline, you will be dropped from the Honors Program.
Minimum Grade in an Honors Course
- You must earn a minimum of B- on an Honors course or conversion to receive Honors credit.

No matter what is thrown at us with outdoor entertaining, the food gets prepared, the drinks chilled, the guest bathroom cleaned, and the annoyance of numerous Costco trips is quickly forgotten. It will get done, because it has to.
In the last month, we've had four outdoor patio parties, three in the last week. It became so familiar that the kids no longer complained about their expected duties ... well, sort of. When their friends were over, they too were given a broom, asked to unload the car and take out the trash. The more hands, the better. If it wasn't done properly the first time, they did it again. Being preoccupied with my own internal list, I had no sympathy when asking them to re-vacuum a previously hasty contribution.
While washing the outdoor dust off the grill and table, a stench of funk filled the air. Naturally, the trash from the previous party hadn't be taken out. After a bottle of ammonia and soapy water, the trash can appeared to be clean. As I continued to putter about the patio, the stench continued to lurk. I tried to convince myself it was the leftover aroma from the forgotten trash treasure.
As I walked around the house, unfinished tasks continued to present themselves. Since civilized guests don't care to gaze upon wrinkled piles of laundry, attacking the land mines of cotton became a priority. As I turned on the washer, water spit out like a pressured garden hose, gradually flowing to a trickle. I went about the house, angrily turning on non-flowing faucets. After a 20-minute call to Connecticut Water, I was told that contractors down my street had hit a water main. No water for four hours.
Gladly, laundry was out of the question. For the next few hours, I cut fresh flowers, squashed spiders, vacuumed cobwebs and pulled out the outdoor tables. The funk continued to greet me each time I went outside. As I went to the side of the house to grab a plastic bag flying on a branch, I found the source. The carcasses of two birds were within whiffing distance of the patio. A shovel was retrieved from the garage and the fly-infested carcasses flicked into the woods. Better the discovery now than with a patio full of guests.
As party time quickly approached, orders were barked a little louder while doubts of beer supply were questioned. The heat was intense.
After the clutter of magazines, random paper piles and dirty laundry baskets were hidden in the spare bedroom, the water was finally restored. Showers were taken and platters of food were put outside.
As guests arrived, a sense of calm had taken over. As I sipped my wine, I gazed upon the patio of happy guests and melting ice cubes ... days of preparation for a few hours of enjoyment. The laughter became louder and cars squeezed into tight street parking, and seeing everyone enjoy one another's company made the handling of dead birds and forgotten trash all worthwhile.
It all got done, because it had to.

---- —
Charles Henry Cooper, born Sept. 20, 1947, in Terre Haute, painlessly passed through the mystic veil with family at his side at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26, 2012, at I.U. Health Hospice House in Bloomington, Ind.
A writer, poet, and musician with an eclectic, spiritual, and mystical nature, Charles loved life, people, and learning throughout his journey. As an avid reader and lover of books, he spent much of his free time at the original Nations Bookstore and Campbell's bookstore. Terre Haute was his home until the last 10 years, when he made Bloomington, Ind., his new home. Active in the community both physically and spiritually, he played a vital role in the petitioning and creation of the "People's Park" located on the corner of Kirkwood and Dunn streets in downtown Bloomington. Over the years, he was involved with the Anti-War and Peace Coalition, along with many other social issues.
Charles graduated from Wiley high School in 1965. While attending high school, he ran for the track team and played in the marching band. Also during this time, he was a drummer in a local Rock and Roll and Surf band called the Makahas. Besides playing for area high schools, the band began playing at early Bohemian style coffee shops, such as the "Loft" and the "Tin Ear," as well as weekly dance parties at South Lake. After high school he attended classes at Indiana State College for more than two years. Later on this campus he would be introduced to his future wife, Bettie Jean Wood, who was a freshman.
He is preceded in death by his loving mother, Mary Francis (Oelgeschlager) Cooper, and his father, Floyd Alvin Cooper. He is survived by his son, Bradley Floyd Cooper and daughter-in-law, Melissa Ann Cooper. Also surviving are: a "special" niece, Andrea Nicole Molina and husband Thomas Molina; a "special" nephew, Sean Eric Mason and wife Dana Mason; a "special" great-niece, Cesya Lucinne Heine; a "special" great-nephew, Trenton Montague-Griffin Molina; and a forever friend, Bettie Jean (Wood) Cooper.
A memorial service will be given in his honor on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, at the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 1875 S. Fruitridge, with visitation beginning at 1 p.m., and service at 2 p.m. The Rev. Doddie Stone will officiate. Charles was a longtime "friend" of the Congregation before moving to Bloomington. After making his home in Bloomington, he attended as a "friend" at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington before his illness.
If so desired, donations can be made to I.U. Health Hospice House in Bloomington, Ind., or to the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Terre Haute, Ind. Special thanks of appreciation go out to all of those involved in his care during the last days of his life. Condolences can be made to his family online at:

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (AP) — Authorities have arrested a North Texas teacher for a hit and run accident that killed a 6-year-old boy last week.
Grand Prairie police say Tammy Lowe turned herself in on Tuesday to answer for the deadly accident that killed John Raidy. Police say the boy was crossing a street on Thursday when a vehicle ran a red light and struck him as his mother and sister watched.
Authorities say 53-year-old Lowe was a teacher at Adams Middle School in Grand Prairie, which is a western Dallas suburb.
Lowe is being charged with manslaughter. She had initially been charged with injury to a child. She is also charged with failure to stop and render aid. She is being held on $100,000 bond.
Jail records did not list an attorney for Lowe.


text: A Look at Today's Health Headlines | Daily Glow Releases Best And Worst Skin Cities A new report by Daily Glow studies weather, pollution and melanoma to help you rank the skin healthiness of your city.By Sushma Subramanian, Senior Editor THURSDAY, June 21, 2012 — Do you live in Portland, Ore.? Lucky you. Live in Vegas? Bummer. In terms of skin in the game, where you live has a big impact on your skin health. Just in time for the summer, beauty and skin care Web site Daily Glow released a list of the best and worst American cities for your skin. "Skin health is a combination of environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors," says Daily Glow skin and beauty expert Jessica Wu, MD. "It's important for Americans to understand that it is never too late to protect their skin and reverse sun damage – and that even the smallest changes have the power to save and protect their skin for years to come." If your town isn't ranked, here are some of the key factors in your environment that are affecting your skin's health. UV exposure: Sunshine year-round might sound like tons of fun, but it can also harm your skin. UV radiation is the main factor responsible for skin cancer, as well as sunburns and premature aging. Some of the most highly ranked cities have long winters and plenty of cloudy protection. Of course, weather isn't the only factor. For example, cities in higher elevations tend to have more exposure to UV rays because of less cloud cover. Pollution levels: Free radicals from pollution can damage the skin's DNA and actually worsen the effects of ultraviolet rays on skin, so try to stay inside on those high-ozone days. Smoking rates among adults: Smoking damages blood vessels that transport nutrients to skin tissue. With high taxes and bans, some cities have drastically reduced cigarette use. Skin care doctors per capita: Some cities are flush with skin doctors while others, like Memphis, are under-served by dermatologists. Physical activity: Exercise helps to boost oxygen and blood flow to the skin, makes you sweat to purge toxins from your pores and eases stress, among other benefits. Number of tanning beds: No matter how many health warnings you've heard about indoor tanning, it's still a trend that's not going away any time soon. But it's more popular in some cities than others. San Francisco scores low on number of tanning beds; Fort Worth scores high on number of tanning beds. Incidences of melanoma: The most dangerous type of skin cancer is prevalent in certain cities, such as San Diego. Adults who've experienced a sunburn: Even in spite of constant sun, some cities are more vigilant than others about sun protection. Sunscreens need to protect against both UVA and UVB rays, according to a dermatologist cited in the report. Zinc-oxide sunscreen, for example, is a physical block that doesn't have chemicals that degrade over time. Hats are also a great way to prevent sun exposure. Here are some other fun facts Daily Glow's study turned up: The Best Cities For Your Skin Portland, Ore., ranks as the best city for the skin because its long rainy season keeps people out of the sun, in addition to its low pollution and healthy lifestyle. San Francisco has the lowest number of tanning beds per capita in the United States. Baltimore has one of the lowest incidences of melanoma in the country, possibly because of local world-class healthcare resources. Hawaii might enjoy its time in the sun, but the state is also known for the lowest rate of air-particle pollution in the country. The city has zero high-ozone days. Boston contains the highest number of dermatologists per capita. Austin has the most physically active population in the country, with 36.5 percent of adults engaging in vigorous physical activity for more than 20 minutes three times a week, according to the Census Bureau. That's good news for their bodies as well as their skin. The Worst Cities For Your Skin Las Vegas ranks worst for skin health. More than a fifth of its residents smoke. Its sunny, parched weather also leads to stressed out skin. Los Angeles has the highest number of high ozone days (about a quarter of the year). The mountains around the city trap its abundant traffic pollution. San Diego has 29.1 melanoma-incident cases per 100,000 people, making it the city with the most melanoma cases in the country. Memphis' residents exercise less than the people of any other city in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fort Worth has a huge number of tanning beds. One dermatologist quips that there's practically one on every block. The city passed a law banning minors 16 and younger from tanning beds. Tulsa has the highest skin-cancer death rate in the country, with 4.1 deaths per 100,000 people, according to the National Cancer Institute. Daily Glow is one of the Everyday Health network of Web sites.

Hollywood Unwrapped: Must Not See TV
April 15th, 2011 8:43am EDT
I have a question to ask all of the readers of this column. Do we really have Hollywood movie stars or real actors that we had in the past? I mean the time when the studios had an iron claw on the stars and being a star actually meant something!
Yes, today we still have a handful of Academy Award winning movie stars such as Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, and Clint Eastwood, who was a star back before I was born! With that said, we don't have stars like Steve McQueen, James Dean or an Audrey Hepburn.
Today, television is packed with reality shows that makes us lose lots of brain cells and for some reason, we become dumber after each one! We have a different group each year that try to get a record deal, win a date, lose 100's of pounds, lots of Italians drinking, acting like idiots and these people are getting $100,000 dollars an episode! Are they serious? MTV is paying those losers that much?! Soon, MTV will become the network of Jersey Shore TV!
MTV is not the only network that has stepped away from its original business plan. Entertainment Television best known as E! is becoming the Kardashian television network with Ryan Seacrest adding more and more shows devoted to the Kardashian family! What is wrong with entertainment? HELL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD??
Now, it seems like out of the 500 channels available on cable 450 of them have reality shows on them from The Biggest Loser, The Real World (Pick your city), True Beauty, Shedding for the Wedding, The Swan to other shows devoted to making imperfections disappear. Lets not forget Survivor, Amazing Race and other shows where you actually, to some degree, need a brain to get to the winners circle. Even these shows make it a point of having alliances and then stabbing those who trust you in the back as many cast mates on Survivor have done. At one point they had a show devoted just to ruining relationships and making sure you stabbed people in the back. Do you remember Temptation Island? How about that show where the men and women where spit up and were hit on by beautiful women or men to see if they would cheat. I'm not sure what makes me more sick, that people sign up for this or that we watch these shows each and every week!!
What happened to moves like Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Bullet, The Great Escape, Full Metal Jacket and Psycho? Now, the stars are no longer stars and TV is full of brainless garbage. All of those movies that I've mentioned, can be seen years after they are made and still make an impact on today's youth.
I believe it's very similar when many women hate Howard Stern and Tom Leykis. The people that hate them tune in daily to complain about what these shock jocks are talking about. Love therm or hate them, if you listen or watch you're just making them stronger! As long as 13 million people tune in to watch each week, networks will continue to produce this garbage and shit! It's a lot cheaper to produce reality TV then another episode of Law and Order or any of the NCIS and CSI series currently on television.
Now, Reality Television even has their own convention called Reality Rocks! They just took over the Los Angeles Convention Center and I learned that a television network is going to be dedicated just to reality television! At this show, the biggest presence was the people auditioning to become the next big reality performer.
Being a star used to be something you earned because you had talent and it was something you worked up to becoming. It wasn't something you where called after sleeping with enough guys on a reality show or being able to chug a beer in a record time or to become pregnant at 16! What kind of morals does that show have? Glorifying a 16 year old kid getting pregnant! Now, I'm sure some 16 year old kid in this country,hell, there's probably MANY who are saying to themselves "Maybe I'll get pregnant so I can be on my favorite show!" What a world!
You don't need to have any special skills, or work your ass off to make it to the big time! Gone are the days when Studios had contract stars and being a star was glamours. Now, during these times, you don't have to work for it. You only have to act like an idiot or see if you can fall in love with that one guy who may or may not give you a rose! You don't have to have any talent at all except being attractive enough to where guys want to meet and date you.
The million dollar question now is how on earth did we go from respecting a guy named James Dean to loving a girl named Snooki!?!? Unfortunately, I don't see the state of entertainment improving any time soon. All I can say is how sad is that.

Cochran meets with locals
U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, met recently with Mississippi rice growers who were in Washington to attend USA Rice Federation meetings.
{paypalaccess}Read more{/paypalaccess}
Gibb Steele of Greenville (center) presented Cochran with a "Friend of the USA Rice Industry" award in appreciation for the Senator's work on the 2014 farm bill, the five-year agriculture policy measure enacted on Feb. 7. Meeting with Cochran at the U.S. Capitol were (left to right): Ronnie Aguzzi of Cleveland, Curtis Berry of Tunica, Steele, Nolen Cannon of Tunica, Kirk Satterfield of Benoit, and Buddy Allen of Tunica. Rice production in Delta was valued at $141 million in 2013, ranking it among the top 10 commodities produced on Mississippi farms.

Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform has a policy center called the Center for Fiscal Accountability, where they promote many of their anti-government policies, from deadlocking legislatures with supermajority requirements to mandated spending limits to strangle social services.
If most state legislatures are considering reasonable revenue increases this year, a few, like Missouri's House, have been captured by rightwing anti-tax fundamentalists. One of the pet ideas of the far right in recent years has been eliminating the income tax for both individuals and corporations and replacing it with a sales tax applied to every transaction. The rightwing call it the "fair tax" and the Missouri House became the first legislative chamber in the country to vote for a constitutional amendment, HJR 36, that would put the issue to voters in 2010.
After resisting the proposal for months, New York Governor Patterson has agreed with legislative leaders to raise income taxes on the wealthiest state residents in order to help close the state budget gap. "It's a profound breakthrough for tax fairness," said Dan Cantor, executive director of the Working Families Party, an organization of New York individuals, labor unions and other groups that was a leader in the campaign to raise the tax rates. The New York deal is part of a national movement of state leaders looking to raise new revenue from high-income residents to avoid budget cuts and fund needed investments for long-term economic recovery.
For decades, property tax revolts have been a thorn in the
side of progressives. California's Proposition 13 remains
the highest profile example of the property tax revolt, but just about every
legislator in the country can attest to the level of frustration many Americans
feel about property taxes.

Vt. hopes syrup grade changes will sweeten salesBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | February 19,2013TOBY TALBOT / AP PHOTO
Four grades of maple syrup are displayed in a gift box in East Montpelier.MONTPELIER Would fancy grade maple syrup by any other name taste as sweet?
Vermont lawmakers are pondering that question as they consider whether to drop the states traditional maple labeling system in favor of an international one.
The change pits tradition versus a desire to be a bigger player in world markets. Vermont is the No. 1 maple syrup producer in the United States, but its unique labeling standards put it at odds with the other big producers, including Canada.
The state Senate last week passed and sent to the House a measure to drop fancy, grade A medium amber, dark amber and grade B. (Fancy is the lightest and mildest, while grade B is the darkest and has the strongest maple flavor.) In their place would be several types sharing a grade A label, with descriptive phrases following: golden color and delicate taste; amber color and rich taste; dark color and robust taste; very dark color and strong taste.
Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, initially argued against the measure before reluctantly going along.
We should not be following everyone else in lockstep and ... giving them the ability to try to pretend that syrup made in another state is anywhere near as good as the syrup made in Vermont, he said.
Mullin later said he was mollified by assurances that the changes would be phased in over three years and that producers wouldnt have to throw out containers already printed with the existing labels.
State Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross said the changes have largely been pushed by the industry, though the agency has conducted a series of public hearings to address the concerns of the more reluctant producers.
Thanks to improvements in technology and growing interest by landowners, Vermonts syrup production has roughly doubled in the past decade, to the extent that supply vastly exceeds any demand that would come from a state of about 626,000, Ross said.
Whats become clear is that the majority of syrup produced in the state of Vermont is sold in national and international markets, Ross said.
Vermont will maintain its distinct branding by labeling its syrup as coming from the state. Connoisseurs will continue to appreciate that Vermont regulations will continue to require boiling sap for longer than is the case elsewhere, producing a slightly denser product, Ross said. But to continue using a separate grading system would lead to consumer confusion, the secretary added.
Doug Bragg, an eighth-generation syrup producer from East Montpelier, said he was taking the changes in stride.
Most of our customers are asking, why do we have to do this? Theres a logic to it, no question about it, Bragg said. Its still annoying though.
Back at the Senate office, where Lt. Gov. Phil Scott was chatting Friday afternoon with the five-member staff, there was broad agreement that people would get used to the changes. The only real debate was over the best grade.
Office assistant Roxy Quero said her preference was for fancy grade, but Scott said he preferred medium amber. Deputy Senate Secretary Steve Marshall said the darker the better for him.
I usually go with grade B, grade C if I can get it, but you have to know somebody, Marshall said. Grade C isnt sold as syrup at retail; its usually use in baked goods or maple candy.
Id take double D if you gave me some, Marshall said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER — Vermont Law School Professor Cheryl Hanna, a frequent legal commentator for...

Yet another Ouch!
OK, we have all seen the commercial …. Bob Corker coming out of a "fundraiser� thrown by the oil industry ….. ooooooh. (insert gasp!) But, in researching, I discovered that Ford has received over $39,000 from energy lobbyists. Also, Ford has received over 10 times the amount of PAC money that Corker has received. So, whose candidate is Ford, anyway?
I really don't think that Ford is in any position to criticize Bob Corker for any fundraising decision.

The Best Eye Cream That Not Only Reduces Wrinkles by 33%, But Also Reduces Dark Circles and Bags Under Eyes By As Much As 61%…
As you probably know, finding an eye cream that really works to reduce wrinkles and remove the dark circles is almost impossible with all the hundreds of "miracle potions" on the market.
You only need to turn on the TV or open any magazine to be inundated with ads of beautiful celebrities (who actually had facelifts) in their 50's looking like they have 30 year old skin.
The simple truth is that most anti wrinkle creams are grossly ineffective for the wrinkles and dark circles under your eyes. Unfortunately, the eyes is where the signs of aging show most and by simply removing the wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles under your eyes you can instantly look 10 years younger.
For many of us reaching 40 is a challenging time in life. When you start looking old, you can quickly "lose it" and start to feel old and it's remarkable how quickly women can lose their confidence and self esteem when they hit the big 4-Zero. I would know, cause I've been there and done that. I've also been in your shoes – looking for the best eye cream (or just one that actually works) and being faced with too many choices.
With this in mind I started extensive research on more than 23 of the best eye creams on the market – looking at their medical backing, medical research, value for money and effectiveness. The 2 products that stood out above all the others was Hydrolyze and Revitol.
You can see my full research below, but here are some information on what I know to be the best eye cream, Hydrolyze.
Removes Dark Circles Under Eyes. The Haloxyl in Hydrolyze is designed to not only remove the leaked blood under the skin, but it actually prevents the problem from getting worse. In a double blind study, an impressive 72% of women saw a visible improvement in dark circles under eyes.
Significantly Reduces Wrinkles Around Eyes. The ingredients in Hydrolyze focuses on the 3 main building blocks of youthful skin and stimulates your skin to revive itself. By stimulating the production of Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Fibronectin wrinkles are reduced by as much as 33%.
Proven To Work. In a 60 day independent survey, 9 out of every 10 people saw visible results – not just a reduction in wrinkles, but also a significant reduction in dark circles and puffiness. Unlike any other product, 98% of the users said they would recommend it to a friend. 89% of users report that they received compliments on how great their skin looks.
Based on my assessment of the ingredient base, clinical trails, side effects, re-order rate and price, I have come to the conclusion that Hydrolyze is by far the best eye cream.
Hydrolyze Review
The problem with under eye creams is that very few of them target all 3 signs of aging. While many under eye creams do work for wrinkles, most of them cannot get rid of dark circles or bags under eyes. This is where Hydrolyze is miles ahead of its competition.
The active ingredients in Hydrolyze is designed to deal with all 3 under eye problems. The Haloxyl and Matrixyl 3000 have been proven in multiple double blind studies to be the most effective ingredients in fighting wrinkles, dark circles and bags under eyes. While many other anti wrinkle creams contain Matrixyl, Hydrolyze contains the maximum dose that you can safely use.
The fact that 89% of women who use Hydrolyze said they would recommend it to a friend says it all. I recommend it as the best eye cream out of the dozens of products I tested. You can expect to see visible results in as little as 14 days.

Choosing the Best Eye Cream
Each one of us has a desire to look good and appear younger than our real calendar age. However, there are several factors that prevent this from happening. Most of these factors are related to our skin. After all, our skin plays a pivotal role in our physical appearance. Dampening of the skin to a certain extent is closely associated with the aging process.
There are several factors that contribute to the aging of our skin. Lack of sleep, exposure to sun, smoking, excess stress and lack of nutritional food are amongst the most common reasons for skin aging. Most of us can't evade one or few of these harmful causes, which is why many individuals may appear older than their actual age.
To regain back your real calendar age, you need to devote certain amount of time, effort and money. The combination of all these factors can fetch you one amongst the best eye cream out there in the market. Eye creams are widely available in the market which has immensely contributed to the consumer's confusion, when it comes to selecting the best eye cream. Celebrities also contribute hugely in confusing a consumer. They are known to promote products they have hardly touched or used. Their false claims lead the consumers in a bewildered state of mind. How is a consumer expected to clear his or her confusion about the best eye cream?
Best eye cream should be evaluated based on the ingredients present in the cream. There is no denying to the fact that there are plenty of companies which spend huge amount of money on advertisements, rather than focusing on the ingredients of the product. Some of these skin care products can have adverse effects on our skin. A small mistake from you end can land you in lots of trouble.
There are several factors one needs to consider while choosing the best eye cream. Let's have a look at these factors in detail. First and foremost, consider the price of the eye cream. The best eye cream would usually involve a high cost. Do not compromise on the quality of the product for the sake of few dollars. The best eye cream should include components like vitamin C, CoQ10 and Retinol.
The cream should include ingredients which should stimulate the production of collagen. Lack of collagen production is responsible for dark circles below the eyes. Apart from the best eye cream, there are several other natural means to deal with dark circles. One needs to consume lots of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables play the role of antioxidant preventing the skin from dark circles. One should also train regularly. Regular exercise is a great way to reverse the aging process, and to prevent wrinkles and other skin relating aging conditions.
The best way to select the right eye cream is by looking at the ingredients. Ingredient is the king when it comes to effective skin care. Also, your choice becomes relatively easy and less confusing if you know exactly what you are looking for.
About Anti Wrinkle Eye Creams
Anti wrinkle eye cream is a cream intended to treat the areas surrounding your eyes. A good anti wrinkle eye cream can effectively treat dark circle, reduce eye bags, wrinkles and other skin issues you can encounter with growing age. Its core function is to make your skin looks brighter and good, thus providing you with a healthy and younger appearance. It also repairs the elasticity capacity of the skin, which is considered the prime cause of sagging skin.
The skin around the eyes is very delicate which makes it very prone to damage. There are endless reasons to develop wrinkles, dark spots etc on this highly sensitive area. Lack of sleep, unhealthy lifestyle, lack of fluid, nicotine etc is amongst the few reasons for skin damage. Anti wrinkle eye creams contains natural moisturizing properties which protects the skin surrounding the eyes.
Replenishing oils are a part of the anti wrinkle eye creams. Replenishing oils present in most of the anti wrinkle eye cream helps to revive the skin cells near the eyes. It also includes filters which prevents your skin from the hazardous effects of sun rays. Chamomile, plantain, plant and fruits extracts are few other natural ingredients present in an anti wrinkle eye cream. These ingredients play a pivotal role in preventing the itching, redness and other similar problems related to the skin. Almost all the anti wrinkle eye cream do not contain irritants in them as they are applied close to the eyes.
It's also easy to apply the cream on your face. All you need to do is apply it gently with your fingers on the skin near the eyes. The cream is usually applied before the makeup, but after cleaning the face. Some individuals also use anti wrinkle eye creams as the base before they apply their makeup. For faster absorption, one needs to apply the cream in a circular motion surrounding the skin near the eyes.
The skin near the eyes is undoubtedly very delicate, which is why it becomes extremely important to choose the best anti wrinkle eye cream. Some of the creams out there can have harmful effects on your skin. Also, exercise caution while applying the cream as you will be moving your fingers very close to the eyes. It's vital that you do not allow the cream to get inside the eyes or else it will call for further trouble. Most importantly, follow all the instructions mentioned on the product label very precisely.
It's also vital to store the cream in the location as described on the product label. Most of the creams are required to be stored in a cool place, in order to maintain its effectiveness. Remember, you will derive maximum benefits only if you comply with the instructions mentioned on the product label properly.
Also, it's a cost effective measure to get younger with every passing day. Getting rid of the loose skin, dark spots, and unwanted wrinkles will improve your life.

First Person: Bradley
I looked at the officer and we both knew what was going on. Bradley was using his get-out-of-jail card.
He was dressed in tactical pants, an old button-down dress shirt, blue rain jacket that was ripped out on both sides, a tan rain hat, with grey hair sticking out all around, and had blue eyes that at one time must have been vibrant but were now pale and rummy. A thin grey mustache covered his upper lip.
My partner Kelly and I had responded to a call for a man down, unknown if he's breathing or has a pulse. We were responding to a call in "homeless woods," an area where the homeless congregate to drink then sleep it off, and we never know if we're walking into something serious like cardiac arrest, assault, stabbing or gunshot. If you stay and work in one place long enough, you eventually get to see it all.
Our ambulance rolled to a stop, lights still flashing, and we climbed out of the cab. On the ground where he had been lying was a vodka bottle, just shy of empty. He greeted us with eyes now dull and glazed over from too much alcohol and body odor from too many days of not bathing.
"What's up?" he asked.
"We were called for a man lying on the ground; just checking that you're okay."
"Who called you?" His tone was belligerent.
"The call came in from 9-1-1. My name is Mike. What's yours?"
"Bradley. Who called 9-1-1?" the tone still belligerent.
"I don't know who called them. Are you okay? Do you have any pain or trouble breathing?"
"I'm okay. Just wanted to lie down and take a nap."
From far away we heard the siren heading our way. Whenever our EMS service gets called to man down with unknown cause the police are dispatched as well.
"Ah shit, who called them? Jesus Christ!"
"They get dispatched to all calls like this. It's automatic," I said.
I tried to get more information from Bradley, but he wanted to know about the police. As the officer arrived, Bradley's demeanor changed and his eyes hardened. By the time the officer got out of his car and approached our little group, Bradley had his identification out of his wallet and handed it to him. The officer went back to his cruiser to run a check on his ID.
"I want detox," Bradley said as the officer walked back to us.
"You want detox, you'll have to come to the hospital," I told him.
"That's what I want." Bradley's eyes were taking on a menacing look. I don't get nervous very often, but this looked like someone who is about to explode.
"Okay," I said, "we'll take you up to the ED, but once there you'll get lab work, IV fluids, and no alcohol or cigarettes."
"I don't care. That's what I want."
I looked at the officer and we both knew what was going on. Bradley was using his get-out-of-jail card. "You okay with that?" I asked the officer.
"If you are, I am," he said. His calls were backing up and he wanted to move on.
With that, Bradley and I got into the back of the ambulance and my partner drove us to the hospital. En route, Bradley let me check his heart rate and blood pressure. All the while I was doing this he was getting more agitated, like a caged animal peering out the window to see where we were. Was he looking for a way out? Was he thinking of jumping out the door?
I kept talking to him in a calm reassuring voice. I've found over the years that I can talk most people down if they are agitated or depressed, but it wasn't working with Bradley. The look in his eyes was becoming threatening, and I was starting to have second thoughts about not having the police officer follow us.
We were finally at the hospital, and I escorted Bradley into the ED, my hand resting in the middle of his back to give direction. Bradley was looking around, leaving me thinking he wanted to bolt. He turned to me with a look that could chill and said, "Get your hand off my back."
We were at the ED door. "Let's go in Bradley," I said in what I hoped was an understanding yet firm voice.
Once inside, we proceeded to the room that would be Bradley's and gave our report to the nursing staff.

One of the things Paul Ryan subtly references in this video is something that cannot seem to penetrate the stubborn political minds of America: It doesn't really matter what has happened and what party has done what up to now. We can point fingers at the past all day long, but the only thing that truly matters for the sake of our country is what we do going forward.
Have fun with this, lefties: President George W Bush increased government spending more than any of the six presidents preceding him. W's administration increased the federal budget by 104%. In his second term, Dubyah increased discretionary spending (non-Medicare, non-Social Security) by 48.6%.
But who cares? He's not in politics and doesn't represent what conservatives want in 2013, so trying to point a finger to the Republican party of a decade ago is absolutely pointless. (Looking at you, liberal commenters.)
Whether you like Paul Ryan or not, the gist of what he is saying is that we need a new kind of leadership; one that can look leaders of both parties in the eyes and tell them that we are going to put together a deal that works for everyone whether they are blue, red, donkeys, elephants, Republicans, Democrats, liberals, or conservatives. In the same interview, Ryan said, "All of the statements and all of the comments lead me to believe that he's thinking more of a political conquest than political compromise." President Obama has done very little leading, and subsequently our elected officials just put together legislation to avoid the fiscal cliff that raised taxes on the middle class, raised deficits, and did not even begin to address spending. Congrats, fellas, because nobody won.
You may like Paul Ryan, you may hate Paul Ryan, but his point about Obama not being a great leader is valid. Blame House Republicans all you want, but notice that no one is getting what they want, and both sides are blaming the other. A better leader wouldn't have that.

The Human Centipede 3 is ready to start filming in May - for real this time. Nearly a year ago, production was halted before it even began over contract disputes between writer / director Tom Six and Centipede 1 star Dieter Laser. The legal dispute has been settled, everyone is friends again, and Laser will appear in HC3 as Tom Six intended.
Ilona Six, Centipede producer and Tom's sister, told EW that Laser will star in part three, along with Laurence R. Harvey, star of part two. The pair will play "a new, villainous duo with a storyline no one will expect." Ilona also says that "a big American celebrity" will have a cameo, and she confirms that the human centipede will be over 500 people long.
On the script, Tom says: "I know my Human Centipede 3 will be very politically incorrect, but I didn't want to change anything in the script. I am very happy Dieter will follow my vision for a full 100% now and know he is absolutely the most brilliant actor I could wish for."

Nick Palumbo's sadistic slasher Murder-Set-Pieces created a lot of controversy when it was released in 2004 with a NC-17 rating. Some considered the movie too gory and sexually violent and it was banned outright in the UK. We haven't heard much from Palumbo since then, but Deadline reports that he is planning his return with two movies, "psychological horror" film Muse and "indie neo-noir thriller" Last Gas Station.
" ... Muse introduces newcomer Samantha Mion as an actress descending into homicidal madness in Los Angeles. Patrick Scott Lewis (Zodiac) co-stars as a fellow actor. Palumbo wrote and will direct the pic, producing with David Palumbo and James Cullen Bressack (Hate Crime) for the trio's Fright Flix banner," Deadline said.
Palumbo is reportedly planning to cut Muse for an R rating, but knowing the director's background and style there's no doubt the movie will be heavy on the blood-soaked scenes. Watch the red band (!) trailer from the stylish Murder-Set-Pieces:

Who says pop and hip-hop can't intertwine? Kanye West and Jay-Z have recruited Beyoncé and Bruno Mars for their new single "Lift Off."
The song is from Kanye and Jay's forthcoming duet album "Watch The Throne," which was originally reported to hit shelves in March. The project's first Lex Luger-produced single "H.A.M." dropped a few month ago to mixed reactions, still the producer behind "Lift Off" boasts high hopes.
"When rappers hear Watch the Throne they gonn' be pissed off. #andproducerstoo," tweeted Jeff Bhasker, who crafted "Lift Off" alongside West.
No official release date for the latest "Watch The Throne" was released at press time.
