President Obama and rival Mitt Romney issued similar statements Friday expressing shock and offering their condolences after the shooting rampage in Aurora, Colo. Absent was any discussion of gun control or ways to end gun violence.
That is hardly surprising and is perhaps appropriate on this day. Presidential politicking will resume soon enough.

As part of Coaches vs. Cancer Week, the Wauwatosa West girls soccer team is having a fundraiser Thursday for their Woodland Conference match against New Berlin West at Whitman Field.
Stas Stadler, the father of Tosa West's Anna, Tim and Andrew, has entered a hospice and the team is having a fundraiser for the family.
There have been 1,100 bracelets and T-shirts ordered and fans are encouraged to wear yellow that night.
"This family has meant the world to Tosa West and they are the true spirit of our program," Tosa West coach Jon Gulrajani said.
With yellow being the color for bladder cancer awareness, the Trojans are selling yellow bracelets that say 'TW Soccer for Stas' for $2 and yellow T-shirts with a logo designed for this event for $10.
The Trojans will wear yellow jerseys that will be auctioned off following the match in addition to other silent auction items that may be bid on throughout the match. There will be a get-together at O'Sullivan's Public House on 126th and North Avenue following the match. A portion of the money spent at O'Sullivan's will be donated to the Stadler family.

'Superfast broadband' for East Lancashire in £43million scheme (From Lancashire Telegraph)

'Superfast broadband' for East Lancashire in £43million scheme
10:30am Tuesday 19th March 2013 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
PARTS of Blackburn and Burnley will benefit from the roll-out of 'superfast broadband' as part of a countywide telecoms revolution, it has been revealed.
Upgrade work will begin as part of the first wave of the Lancashire SFBB (Superfast Broadband) Project at locations across the two boroughs, and the village of Chatburn, during the next few months.
The work should see broadband speeds rocket ranging from two to 10 megabytes per second (MBPS) to between 50 and 330 MBPS.
Part of a £43.8million partnership between Lancashire County Council, Blackburn with Darwen Council, the European Regional Development Fund and BT, it should revolutionise internet access countywide.
Under the scheme it is hoped that 97 per cent of Lancashire will be able to access superfast broadband by 2015.
County council chief executive Phil Halsall said in an executive report that the initial planning stages for the initiative had now been completed. "The 'big build' begins in early April with the first live services expected later in the spring," he added.
The first round of streetside cabinets to be overhauled for SFBB will be in Leyland, which will benefit first in May.
Telecoms giant BT is already advancing its own plans for broadband and has exchanges in Accrington, Chorley, Clitheroe and parts of Rossendale hooked up to the system.
These developments should be followed during 2013 by Blackburn, Burnley, Bacup, Darwen, Nelson and Longridge.
Supporters of the scheme have established a website – www.superfastlancashire. co.uk – which enables those curious about superfast broadband to register and be kept updated regarding when their area will see Lancashire SFBB's arrival.
The ERDF has pledged £16.5million, which has been matched pound for pound by BT. National funding body Broadband Delvery UK, backed by government is providing another £10.3million.
Another £4.7million has been earmarked from county council regeneration funding, should it be required.

Tom Smith on LÔÇÖArc en Ciel, the band that defines ÔÇśJapanese rockÔÇÖ
ItÔÇÖs May 1991 and after three months of jamming, TETSU and his newly formed band have their first live show at a dingy 80-seater venue in Osaka. Skip forwards to present day and the band is preparing for a world tour estimated to draw crowds of 100,000. They are LÔÇÖArc en Ciel, and after rocking Japan for twenty years, theyÔÇÖre ready for global domination. LondonÔÇÖs Indigo2 will get a piece of the action on 11 April 2012.
The secret to their success? Vocalist hyde, who has barely aged since the groupÔÇÖs debut, states that itÔÇÖs down to having ÔÇťa generous heartÔÇŁ. ItÔÇÖs a very simple answer, and a piece of advice that could serve so many bands well if only they listened. Perhaps the UKÔÇÖs own rock group Oasis would still be in the charts if the Gallagher brothers took heed of such words.
Oasis are also a good comparison for people in the UK to understand the kind of cultural impact LÔÇÖArc en Ciel have in their home country. Both bands began in 1991 and went on to define their countryÔÇÖs pop-rock scene ever since. In fact, LÔÇÖArc en Ciel even manages to beat the Mancunian rockersÔÇÖ impressive run of 22 top ten hits by racking up 21 number one singles, and a consecutive run of 35 top tens ÔÇô and only one of those was as low as sixth place. In other words, just as Oasis defined a generation of British music, LÔÇÖArc en Ciel did the same in Japan, and continue to do so.
Unlike Oasis, theyÔÇÖre still churning out singles. Their latest, ÔÇśX X XÔÇÖ (pronounced Kiss Kiss Kiss), available digitally in the UK, went straight to number one and its follow up ÔÇśCHASEÔÇÖ, featuring in the live action adaption of the 70s manga Wild 7, looks set to follow in its predecessorÔÇÖs footsteps.
Through their lengthy career, LÔÇÖArc en Ciel (ÔÇśrainbowÔÇÖ in French) have also had several singles appear in anime, particularly the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise. The first series includes one of their best known songs outside of Japan, ÔÇśReady Steady GoÔÇÖ, whilst the first film in the franchise received double helpings, with the group performing its opener ÔÇśLinkÔÇÖ, and closing theme ÔÇśLost HeavenÔÇÖ. Their anime credits also include DNA┬▓, Gundam, Rurouni Kenshin and the CG film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
Being playful has also led a big part in their continual success. You may have noticed that hyde was written in lowercase earlier, whilst TETSU was in capitals (ThatÔÇÖs not playful, itÔÇÖs just irritating ÔÇô Ed). After LÔÇÖArc en Ciel had hit the big time, its members started to experiment with solo work and side projects (including various takes on the LÔÇÖArc format, including PUNK EN CIEL, a faster upbeat take on their regular style). To differentiate between their various schemes they devised different spellings and stylisations of their names. Lowercase was chosen for all activity relating to LÔÇÖArc en Ciel, forcing TETSU to become tetsu (and then later tetsuya), unless talking about his solo career, in which case all names are in capitals. Confusing? A little bit at first but the Japanese music scene is riddled with this kind of preciousness, and managers will hunt you down if you place a capital letter where a lowercase one should be.
The group recently marked their 20th anniversary with a showcase spectacular at the Ajinomoto Stadium split over two days ÔÇô because there simply werenÔÇÖt enough hours in a day to fit all their hits in to a single show. Each day celebrated a decade in the unitÔÇÖs career and all proceeds were donated to charities helping in the relief work following the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Now the group prepares for its next big set of live shows, this time playing in some of the most respected live music venues the world has to offer. The tour also sees them make history by becoming the first Japanese artist to perform solo at New YorkÔÇÖs Madison Square Gardens, as well as the first to perform at LondonÔÇÖs own Indigo2.
Tickets for LÔÇÖArc en CielÔÇÖs show in London on 11 April 2011 are on sale now.

Obama's Claim That British Tortured His Grandfather Debunked
I wonder if Barack Hussein Obama will stop hating Western Civilization in general and our closest ally Britain in particular in light of the revelation that his fantasy about his grandfather being tortured by the British for standing up on behalf of the put-upon colored masses is not true:
'Barack Obama: The Story' by David Maraniss catalogues dozens of instances in which Obama deviated significantly from the truth in his book 'Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance'. The 641-page book punctures the carefully-crafted narrative of Obama's life.
One of the enduring myths of Obama's ancestry is that his paternal grandfather Hussein Onyango Obama, who served as a cook in the British Army, was imprisoned in 1949 by the British for helping the anti-colonial Mau Mau rebels and held for several months.
Obama's step-grandmother Sarah, Onyango wife, who is still living, is quoted in the future President's memoir, as saying: 'One day, the white man's askaris came to take Onyango away, and he was placed in a detention camp.
'But he had been in the camp for over six months, and when he returned to Alego he was very thin and dirty. He had difficulty walking, and his head was full of lice. He was so ashamed, he refused to enter his house or tell us what happened.'

that shits hard to fake……LOL!!!
Seriously, despite all the ignorant liberals, dems, dead dems, long dead dems, retarded white guilters, what used to be formerly known as 'the media', and his own party bullshit…how the holy fuck did this poser get anywhere near a security clearance? Are they trying to cause us to believe that our own 'intelligences' forces couldn't out this mo-fo, yet everyone else can and regularly does…how the fuck did this fraud get anywhere near an elected office…any office, anywhere?!?!???

Holy shit Oblowme lied again. Whoda thought?
Doesn't matter though cause the idiots on the left believe this clown no matter what he says or does.
I mean to not believe Oblowme is RACIST ya know?

@House of Kell – To start off, he had very rich Saudi backers that got him through some college. Then, he had terrorists as his political backers. And to get "elected" he simply had 3rd party supporters DESTROY any of his competition so that his success in "public office" is mainly due to "Political attrition" (read: Dirty Tricks).
When he finally got to the national level a guy named Soros got involved as did the "Kneel & Bob" Media. Plus, some Ignorant Masses who had been brainwashed and infiltrated for decades soaked all of that slop up for breakfast. The rest, as they say, is history.

And I didn't like him at all to begin with.+4 -
If grandaddy was a Mau Mau, the limeys should have executed him. The Mau Maus killed baby negroes and ate their brains as part of their "Oathing" ceremonies.
Some really sick, cannibalistic, terrorists.

The Many Lies in Obama's "Dreams"
Most people don't care how many angels can dance on the head of a pin since the question is pinheaded and the answer almost as incalculable as the number of lies in Barack Hussein Obama's Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.
Obama's "memoir," first published in 1995 when the future president was all of 34 years of age and while he was still slaving away as a Chicago civil rights attorney, soared into the best-seller list after he addressed the 2004 Democrat Convention and rocketed following his election to the United States Senate in 2006 and began to make noises about running for the presidency.
Revised and re-issued in 2004 after those noises became thunderous and Obama came to believe his wild ambitions thanks to aid, encouragement, and financial support from mysterious, unidentified "friends," Dreams became a publishing phenomenon and helped make Obama a millionaire "one-percenter."
Barack Obama's childhood dream of leading the Free World his Marxist father so detested was on the near horizon; America's Left and America's book-sellers welcomed him with open arms, open wallets, and open adulation.
Gushing acclaim followed. The book was variously praised as "extraordinary," "daring," "evocative," "honest," "lyrical," and "candid" and was dutifully awarded a place on Time magazine's list of the top 100 English non-fiction books written since 1923.
Heady accolades, indeed!
The chief problem with Dreams from My Father is that the book is largely fiction in the guise of a memoir. Overflowing with lies and misrepresentations, Dreams went unvetted by the mainstream media most of whom obviously never read it before virtually proclaiming it the greatest autobiography penned since Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in A.D. 1440.
Why vet a book when you don't bother to vet its alleged author?
Dreams from My Father has evolved into a transparent nightmare for our misbegotten president as his prevarications have become public knowledge.
LIE NUMBER ONE. First came the suspicions of people who did read Dreams and noticed distinct stylistic and ideological similarities with the writings and thinking of the confessed, unrepentant domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers.
To this day, Obama contends he barely knew Ayers, who lived in his neighborhood and with whom he served on the 9-member Woods Fund of Chicago and whose family reputedly financed his Harvard Law School education.
When Google recognized Ayers as the ghost writer of Dreams and Ayers confirmed writing the book last year, the matter of the authorship of the "autobiography" should have been closed.
It wasn't. Obama's acolytes wouldn't allow their hero to be tarred with truth no matter how extensive that truth.
LIE NUMBER TWO. As with many African-Americans, including semi-African-Americans, the young, mixed-race Barack evidently preferred dating white girls.
In Dreams, Ayers wrote of Obama's "New York girlfriend," another mystery, "Genevieve Cook," who never existed as an individual, yet he was able to clearly describe her looks, voice, and mannerisms.
David Maraniss' recently-published biography, Barack Obama: The Story, has been characterized by the Huffington Post as questioning "the accuracy of the president's memoir." In fact, Maraniss did nothing of the sort. He didn't question the accuracy of Dreams. More precisely, he. . .

Budget Watch Dog Group Warns State Surplus is Temporary
By Karen DeWitt
Albany, New York – A budget watchdog group warns that lawmakers should not get too excited over the recently reported budget surplus, and predicts even tougher economic times are ahead.
The Citizens Budget Commission says a report that found a nearly $800 million dollar surplus in the first quarter of the fiscal year should not be viewed as a license to spend more money. The Commission's Tammy Gamerman says there are likely harder times ahead.
"If you take a look at the broader economy, everything is starting to point down," said Gamerman. "We don't believe that tax revenues are going to continue to come in at the level that they have."
The global economy is slumping, and the Citizens Budget Commission notes that federal deficit reduction could result in cuts to key social service programs for New York, including Medicaid. It's also unlikely that another stimulus package, which helped the state balance its budget and fund road construction projects in the past, will be renewed.
The State Comptroller, Tom DiNapoli, who wrote the report on the budget surplus , and Governor Andrew Cuomo, both agree with the CBC's warnings, and the governor's budget office has said the surplus is illusory, and a result of tax payment scheduling, that will not mean extra cash by the end of the fiscal year.
Some legislators and advocacy groups, though, have suggested restorations to programs reduced in the state budget and repealing some taxes, including the MTA pay roll tax. Gamerman says those actions would be a mistake.
She says the state budget, while in balance back on April 1st, the start of the fiscal year, still contains some uncertainties that could be worsened by a further economic downturn. The state has budgeted for a 4% cap on increases in Medicaid spending, but if growing unemployment results in a higher caseload, the cap might not be met, says Gamerman.
And there are still outstanding union contracts. The second largest state worker union is set to vote on a contract containing numerous concessions, and already some employees are attempting to organize an effort to defeat the measure.
Gamerman says the successful contract settlement with the Civil Service Employees Association still leaves nearly $400 million dollars in budgeted workforce savings yet to be achieved.
"The governor has said he's going to try to find some savings from agency consolidations and restructuring," said Gamerman. "There may be some lay offs at the end of the day, but these have not been clearly delineated yet."
If that's not enough, the instability of the stock market, and shrinkage in the financial industry also effect the state budget, which relies on Wall Street related revenues for around 15% of total taxes.
"A number of the larger banks have been announcing fairly significant lay offs," said Gamerman. "We know many of them are headquartered in New York City so that will certainly have an impact on state personal income tax revenues."
Gamerman says there are a number of indications that projected tax revenues will not hold up through the rest of the year. New York already faces a $2.4 billion dollar structural deficit next year, if nothing is done to change spending on programs, setting the stage for another year of hard decisions.

So, how did I get the best seat in the house, an upper box hanging over the front of the stage? Just lucky, I guess.
Like many of you, I have been horrified by the atrocities allegedly perpetrated by another Ariel -- Ariel Castro.
Years ago, I escaped from 18 years of an abusive situation -- and I know that it isn't chains that hold you. I was not tied in a basement. I could have found a way to escape. But my chains were mental and proved to be a much stronger binding than any physical restraint could have been.
To feel the full force of Ramsey's statement, you have to know something about the history of race relations in this nation and in particular about the role that white woman have played -- or been made to play -- in the incrimination and lynching of black men.
We have to be more sensitive to such wake-up calls, before our communities turn into a complete "collection of strangers."
Many laugh when they watch the Charles Ramsey and Sweet Brown interviews, but the joke is really quite sad.
All of us contribute to this unequal system of values. When a pretty, blond young woman from a prominent, wealthy family goes missing, we follow the media stories of the search for months. Neighborhoods that do not have such influence are invisible. So, how do we see?
When I saw the news this week out of Cleveland about the women who'd been held captive since they were kidnapped as teenagers, I asked myself the questions that we all asked as the details came out. Most of the questions started with How?
I've now watched the taped phone call between Amanda Berry and her grandmother and I wish I had never seen that. She deserves for that to be a private and a protected moment.
Maybe we should spend less time being curious about the female victims and more time asking ourselves as men, "What can we do to resist this age-old male drive to dominate and have power over women?"
Cleveland, home of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Paul Newman, now has another bit of notable fact...three women, recovered after being kidnapped for ten years by three brothers...it's almost like a fractured fairy tale, except that the moral lesson may be harder to find.
I hate that we have to live in a "just in case" world. It's too bad we have to take all these precautions. It's unbelievably sad we have to take all these precautions but we do and stories like the one in Cleveland prove it.
The problems that you see startups tackling are dramatically different in different cities. Silicon Valley is unlikely to produce the same set of companies as New York or Cleveland because the region has a different set of strengths and defining institutions.
The "art" of "Capitalism Works for Me!" isn't necessarily in the LED sign and voting machine, it's in how people are confronted with a question that is both very public and very personal.
Right now, a specially-commissioned play is touring schools in 12 Ohio counties, bringing theatre to kids so that they don't have to leave school, ride a bus and miss out on mandated teaching programs.
Burlington, Vermont, nestled just below the border of Canada, is a charming town with a fittingly charming little airport. Its pedestrian-only main drag, Church Street, feels just like England. Everyone I met was astounded that this was my first visit to Vermont.

Youth and Finance
ShoreBank International Vice President Jesse Fripp, in his remarks to the opening plenary of the 3rd day of the Global Youth Economic Opportunities Conference, hosted by Making Cents on September 13th, emphasized the critical need for partnerships, business model innovation, and empowerment of youth as economic drivers in order to realize the promise of mobile and branchless banking as a means to achieve financial inclusion. "Youth are leading the way in adoption, innovation, and creativity – we, the private sector and development practitioners must catch up. As emerging market technology and bandwidth access converges into a low-cost utility service reality in coming years, many, many more on-ramps will open up to enable a wide range of innovative market linkages," Fripp commented.
Dr. Phillip Auerswald, Senior Fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, moderated the "Use of Technology for Linking Youth to Markets: Elixir or Achilles Heel?" plenary panel, which – in addition to Fripp - included Janet Longmore, CEO of Digital Opportunities Trust. In a dynamic panel format, Dr. Auerswald invited several members of the audience to rotate on to the stage to share insights and updates on a wide range of innovations.
Later in the day, SBI Senior Lead for ADC Implementation, Khurram Sikander, served as Discussant for a workshop session, "Counting on Technology to Deliver Financial Services to Youth: Lessons and Applications." Panelists included Samuel Ndungu of Equity Bank (Kenya), Amelia Kukliwcz of Freedom from Hunger (Ecuador), and Jean Kabongo of FINCA (DRC). After a lively panel and audience exchange, Khurram summed up the session: "I believe there is a tremendous opportunity to work with tech savvy youth by exposing them to financial services at an early age. This will not only educate the youth on how to better manage money or financial habits but may result in innovation that changes how we bank."
Presentations for both sessions can be found at the links below:

The Environmental Protection Agency continues to monitor air around the vacant Baycote Metal Finishing Facility at 1302 Industrial Drive in Mishawaka -- but they have given the OK for people who live nearby to return home after a chemical leak forced them to evacuate.
Firefighters say the building has been vacant since 2008 but this spring the EPA started cleaning up the site. Over 50,000 gallons of liquid and solid chemicals were stored there. Yesterday morning a crew put some of those solid "sludge-like" chemicals into a poly-lined cubic yard-sized cardboard box. That cleanup crew left the building around 4 p.m. Then around 7:15 p.m. some of those chemicals self-combusted, catching on fire. The Mishawaka fire department went to the scene to put out the fire and when they went inside saw a large white vapor cloud.
WSBT learned today that vapor cloud was made up of hydrogen cyanide
Mishawaka fire Chief Jim Cocquyt ordered an evacuation of an area around the plant. Some residents reported an awful smell that burned their noses, skin irritation, and burning eyes.
Roads were closed between Byrkit Avenue west to Merrifield, and 12th Street north to Lincoln Way East.
32 people and five pets stayed overnight at St. Joseph Elementary School on Third Street in Mishawaka where the Red Cross had set up an emergency shelter. CLICK HERE FOR A MAP
Blankets, pillows, cots, food and toys for the children were supplied.
Cocquyt said hundreds were evacuated. Most went to stay with family and friends. This morning around 7 a.m. the EPA announced it was safe for the families to return home.
Mary Holcomb and her two great-grandsons stayed at the school. They said the Red Cross took good care of them and provided them updates often. Holcomb says she arrived home last night to find a note on her door from the EPA ordering her to evacuate. She says she could, "smell something nasty in the air," and that, "it burned my nose."
Eight people were checked out at local hospitals, including a local TV reporter who does not work at WSBT, but there were no serious injuries.
Spokeswomen for both St. Joseph Regional Medical Center and Memorial Hospital confirmed both hospitals counted the number of cyanide kits they had on hand in case anyone had been exposed to hydrogen cyanide. Last night officials say there were low level readings of cyanide in the vacant building at 1302 Industrial Drive, but none in the surrounding area. However, officials did not want to take any chances and ordered the evacuation.
The EPA arrived on scene around 10 p.m. last night. They set up ten air quality monitoring systems inside the building, around the perimeter, and had portable monitoring units throughout the evacuation area. The readings from those units showed the air quality outside to be good.
Paul Atkociunas, EPA On-Scene Coordinator, says they have been working diligently to carefully clean up the chemicals in that building, and what happened last night was an, "unfortunate accident." The EPA's original plan was to have the entire site cleanup and all the chemicals removed by November. Atkociunuas is not sure if Friday's incident will change that date.

There were no chocolates and flowers at a Valentine's Day event at the University of
Central Florida on Thursday, where dozens came together to fight violence against women.
"It is not stopping. People need to be aware that this is happening," said Carol Palumbo. "Girls are being date raped and not talking about it, girls are being abused. Men are being raped, men are being abused. The community needs to be aware."
As a child, Palumbo was molested by a family member; she never got helped nor pressed charges. And then more recently, she says she was date raped.
Palumbo was one of several who stepped up to the microphone Thursday and spoke out in front of the Health and Public Affairs Building.
The School of Social Work, Women's Studies, UCF Victim Services, the Theater Department and Seminole County SafeHouse encouraged onlookers to rise in "One Billion Rising," an international event started this year by Eve Ensler, the writer of The Vagina Monologues. The event was created to unite women around the world to dance, sing and celebrate saying no to violence against women everywhere.
Elizabeth Swart, with the School of Social Work, helped sponsor the event. Swart teaches Global Violence Against Women at UCF and also works as counselor at Seminole County SafeHouse.
"One woman abused is one too many," said Swart.
Men and women came up to the microphone to talk about why they were there. Some did it for friends, family or victims of violence. Carol Palumbo said she was there for herself.
"I rise because I had a right to decide yes or no," said Palumbo, holding back tears.
For the past seven years, Palumbo has participated in UCF's production of The Vagina Monologues. She says her participation served as therapy and to raise awareness.

The Reserve Bank, Australia's central bank, is responsible for Australia's currency notes. The Museum tells the story of our currency notes against the background of Australia's economic and social development.
This fascinating story is illustrated through a number of stages.
Before Federation: To 1900
After some chaotic currency experiments, the discovery of gold led to the production of Australian gold coins and boosted the issue of private bank notes. But by Federation, Australia did not have a national currency.
A New Currency: 1900–1920
The first Australian currency notes were produced. They reflected the new nation's heavy dependence on the land and a few rural products and minerals.
The Commonwealth Bank and the Note Issue: 1920–1960
In this period, Australia's currency notes changed several times, mainly in response to changes in the British Monarchy but the designs continued to reflect our economic development.
The Reserve Bank and Reform of the Currency: 1960–1988
The Reserve Bank was established and decimal currency introduced. A distinctively Australian series of currency notes was issued which captured Australia's emerging social and cultural diversity and its contribution to the wider world.
A New Era – Polymer Currency Notes: 1988 onwards
Australia created the world's first series of polymer currency notes and exported polymer note technology to many other countries.
A Guide to Dollar Bill
The introduction of decimal currency required the education of a nation. It was the job of the Decimal Currency Board, and an animated character Dollar Bill, to assist Australians with the transition from pounds, shillings and pence to dollars and cents.

I was born in Abruzzo. Both my parents came from another region, Umbria. My father was a "Maresciallo" in the "Carabinieri" (a special corp of the Italian Army) and he got transferred to Abruzzo where I was born. Although we stayed in Abruzzo only for a few years we all have great memories of that time and my mother still carries the tradition of making Ferratelle at Christmas. Here she is "in action" making Ferratelle for the entire family.
Travelling in the US, promoting TANTO Wines, I have seen Ferratelle sold in a great number of Italian Specialty Stores; that's why I decided to share with you the images of my Mother, Maria, making Ferratelle this past Christmas. Their preparation requires a specific tool called "lu ferre" (the iron), a kind of clamp that is heated usually on the stove. In the old days "lu ferre", made by local artisans to make waffles of different thickness and with a different design inside the clamp, was part of women's dowry as Ferratelle were an important part of family celebrations and Feasts.
What my mother likes is the thin, crisp type of Ferratelle, she would make them and then use two overlapping waffles kept together by a very special filling she makes.
Legend tells that to properly cook Ferratelle one should recite an "Ave Maria" prayer while cooking one side then turn it over and recite a "Pater Noster" to properly cook the other side!
I am afraid for most of you will be impossible to make Ferratelle from scratch as you need the iron however you may buy Ferratelle/Pizzelle in your local Italian Specialty Store and try them with Maria's very simple, healthy and delicious filling. Enjoy!

Try out the new Microsoft Surface tablet at a new store
Microsoft has opened a holiday kiosk at Penn Square Mall to let users get a feel for the Surface with Windows RT tablet.
On the Surface, you get a version of Microsoft Office preinstalled; other applications (Angry Birds, Cut the Rope) are familiar, too.
At the kiosk, Jones demonstrated the Microsoft 8's new "live tile interface," a beautiful navigation system that helps users swoop through tiles to find the application they want to use.
Cost is $499 for a 32GB tablet only. For a tablet that includes a super-thin black "Touch Cover" keyboard, cost is $599 (32GB) and $699 (64GB). Colored "Touch Cover" or black "Type Cover" (for a more traditional typing feel) keyboards cost about $20 to $30 more.
The Surface has a microSDXC card slot to add up to 64 GB of extra storage, an HD video port to connect the device to your TV and a USB port for other connections as well. It offers Flash compatibility for certain websites.
Even though the app store isn't as evolved as Google Android's or Apple's, the Surface tablet is an appealing choice if you want to find a sweet spot between a laptop and a tablet.

Fatoumata Diawara's career continues to explode. The 30-year-old singer from Mali, with the golden voice and charisma to match, has been very busy lately. She released her debut album last September; in and around creating that record, she found the time to collaborate with Herbie Hancock, Oumou Sangare, Damon Albarn, Flea and Tony Allen, among others.
The latest collaborator you'll find her sharing harmonies with is soul singer Bobby Womack. His new album drops on Tuesday, June 12. That very day, Fatou will be making her North American debut, performing in Toronto as part of Luminato. She'll be opening for super group AfroCubism, and then adding vocals to their performance following her own.
Check out the entrance she makes in this live video of Rocket Juice and the Moon, from Marseilles (at 1:15):
We recently asked Fatou a few questions about her music.
Q: How does it feel to be the most "in demand" West African female singer right now?
A: This is a big responsibility, it's positive, it makes me want to keep fighting.
Q: What have you learned from performing with the super group AfroCubism?
A: This is a great chance to play with great musicians like Toumani Diabaté, the group Buena Vista Social Club, Djelimady [Tounkara], Bassekou Kouyate.
Q: Of all the people you've collaborated with in the past two years, who's been your favourite? And why?
A: I have no preference because each project has its own interesting feature. They are all very rewarding for me because I learn many things through the various meetings, including one with Herbie Hancock, which was a musical meeting between Malian tradition and contemporary music.
Watch Fatou sing with Oumou Sangaré on Herbie Hancock's "Imagine" (Fatou is in the yellow dress and comes in around the four-minute mark):
Q: Where did you find the emotional strength to flee Mali and ignore your parents' desire for you to marry and stay away from the performing arts?
A: I do not know where the force comes from, but what I do believe in, is my little angel who accompanies me in all my decisions. I think that's who guides me thus far and I thank him.
Q: Have your parents forgiven you for this?
A: I do not have to give them forgiveness. I am not at war with them and I thank them…. They are very proud of me today. I am very well received at home.
Q: Who has been the biggest musical mentor in your life?
A: My aunt Fanta Ndiaye Diawara, who is a singer. And the fact that I was really pushed to sing at weddings in Mali when I was a kid. And Cheick Tidiane Seck, Oumou Sangaré and Abdoulaye Traoré, who are people who made me work and taught me a lot.
Q: I've read that Rokia Traoré convinced you to learn to play guitar. What is your relationship with her like?
A: She is my big sister. We love and respect many.
Q: What is your advice now, for young West African women looking for a future in music or theatre?
A: I advise them to fight and to work very, very hard. There is a job that pays. She must learn to be independent, and not automatically count on men.
Q: Your life story reads like a film script. When can we see you play yourself in a movie called Fatou?
A: [Laughs] I hope that happens soon. Because I want to make films in the future and be able to tell many stories concerning my life and those of others.

The annual Marsh Creek Cleanup Day traditionally sponsored by the city of Brentwood and Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed (FOMCW) is getting a helping hand this year from neighboring Oakley, and local officials in both communities are asking for volunteers to lead the effort in the organization and implementation of this eco-friendly event.
After a lot of thought and consideration, we decided to change our annual creek cleanup event from May to September so that we can do it with Brentwood and also to make it part of the International Coastal Cleanup, which is held on the same day (Sept. 20), said Lindsey Bruno, recreation specialist for the City of Oakley. We really wanted to make this a community-wide event.
Organizers for both the Brentwood and Oakley events are looking for volunteers to make phone calls, send e-mails or run errands, as well as meet over the summer to coordinate the community picnic, gather donations of food and supplies, recruit volunteers for the day of the event and organize publicity.
Basically what we're trying to do is encourage the community to take ownership of the creek cleanup on an annual basis so that it becomes an event that the community can get behind and support, said Mary Grim, FOMCW coordinator. It's just a great feel-good day.
The cleanup event has been a long-standing tradition in Brentwood, where hundreds of volunteers turn out each year to pick up debris along the trails and creek banks, followed with food and entertainment in nearby Creekside Park.
This year, the city of Oakley, which has participated on a smaller scale in the past, has decided to make the cleanup a bigger event for the town, and will simultaneously hold its cleanup party at several locations, including Oakley's Creekside Park, presently under construction.
The reason for promoting the project so far in advance, said Grim, is to allow residents time to help with the organization and coordination of the expanded event.
At this point we're just trying to get as many volunteers for the event as we can and get things going, said Grim. It really is a fun event. It's the one time a year when you can get out there and get legally dirty for a great cause.
For volunteer opportunities and other event-related information, call the city of Oakley at 925-625-7041, the city of Brentwood at 925-516-5444, or the Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed at 925-325-2908.

Parshas Behar: G-d is in Your Backpack
As observant Jews, we have a lot of items to carry around with us when we travel. We carry pots to cook kosher food. We carry a siddur to pray. We carry tallis and tefillin and shabbat candles. We have a lot of things in our backpacks that add to our weight and our bulk.
But no matter where we travel or how, there is one thing that never takes up space and never weighs us down: G-d.
In this week's parsha, we are commanded, "Do not make gods for yourselves, and do not set up an image or a memorial stone or put up a marker anywhere in your land to cast yourselves down upon it." G-d is telling us that we don't need reminders of Him. We don't need huge monuments, sculptures, or little idols on our car dashboards. We don't need paintings or pictures to remember Him.
Instead, G-d has given us a precious gift: his Sabbath. By keeping Shabbat and the commandments, by doing what is right and good, we remember Him. We remember Him through something much more potent and meaningful than simply looking at a picture.
In fact, a picture or a sculpture is easy to overlook. Look around the room you are in right now. Are there photographs or artwork on the walls or on your desk? How often do you really notice them. How often do you sit and really look at them? Most of the time, we look through them or past them. We know they are there; our brains do not need to register their presence. The same thing happens with paintings, drawings, pictures, sculptures, or monuments of idols.
But if we remember G-d through our actions then we truly cannot forget Him. We can't look around or through our actions. Even if some things, like negelvasser in the morning, become habit, the majority of our actions are conscious decisions we make. We decide to do an act of chessed for someone else. We spend hours upon hours of our time preparing to make the Sabbath beautiful… and if we are spending so much time doing it each week, it cannot be out of habit. By keeping the Sabbath, by doing the mitzvot Hashem has given us, we remember Him and know He is with us and watching over us.
So when we travel, we may have to worry about packing a few extra things, but there is one thing we will never need to worry we've forgotten: G-d. Because no matter where we are in the world, He is with us. Even if we travel with no bags at all, even if we travel with nothing, G-d is still with us, as long as we keep Shabbat and do His mitzvot to the best of our ability.
Incidentally, Rabbi Ben has a book called "G-d is in My Backpack" coming out very soon. Watch this space for it! In it you will be able to read many amazing incidents that show just how true it is that no matter where you go, G-d is always with you.
Shabbat shalom!

Tyranny 101: Lessons in the fall of a nation
by Ron Gaudio
Featured writer of The Liberty Voice
In the Old Testament, during the iron age, Israel was ruled by "judges." These were men of character chosen to be itinerant judges, making circuit rides on donkeys throughout Israel to hear legal cases (1 Sam. 7:16-17) The governing principles of Israel were found in the Law of Moses, given to the Israelites several hundred years prior. People were expected to be self-governing, but there were judges available to hear cases when the need would arise. In times of war, these judges often led the nation into battle as generals. There was no draft, but troops would rally around the generals and were mustered as needed. Those who, for various reasons, did not want to fight, were exempted.
This form of government was a great blessing. The judges did not rule with iron-fisted authority, but led by example and provided moral authority by humbly applying God's law to the people. Often, after a judge would die, the people would lapse into immorality and end up being oppressed by a foreign power until another judge was raised up. The people were to rule themselves according to the Law of Moses, with God as their King, but they needed the moral guidance of the judges. They were most free when they were most obedient to God's law, and most oppressed when they deviated from that law.
Israel was unique in the ancient world, for all of the other nations had kings. Their constitutional theocracy stood in sharp contrast to the hereditary absolute monarchies of the other nations. Often, the men who were chosen to be judges, such as Gideon, were reluctant men who did not desire power. After Gideon led Israel to defeat the Midianites, he wanted to retire, but the people wanted to make him a king. Gideon's response was striking:
"I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you."
Here is an early instance in history of a person refusing to be crowned a king, but instead directing people back to God. Not only that, but he rejected any type of hereditary monarchy.
Shortly afterwards, a man named Abimelech arose in Israel, killed the sons of Gideon, and attempted to make himself king. This attempt was short lived, for the people rose up and killed him. The people spoke; they did not want a human monarch. Eventually though, things in Israel changed. Instead of being responsible with the great liberty that they had, the people became corrupt and the morals of Israel sharply declined.
Despite this moral decline, God raised up good judges in Israel, such as the prophet Samuel who governed Israel well. Eventually as he got old, he appointed his sons as judges, but they did not follow in their father's footsteps and became corrupt:
"His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice themselves" (1 Samuel 8:3)
It is within the context of this corrupt power vacuum, that the people desired a king:
"Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; and they said to him, 'Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.'" (1 Samuel 8:4)
They wanted the glory and splendor of an earthly kingdom like the rest of the nations. After all, who can see an invisible heavenly monarch? They were not happy with the liberty and freedom that they had.
"But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, 'Give us a king to judge us' And Samuel prayed to the LORD. The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them." (1 Samuel 8:6)
God then directs Samuel to appoint a king, but to give the people this solemn warning:
" 'Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them.' So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who had asked of him a king. He said, 'This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots… He will appoint for himself commanders…and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves and give them to his servants. He will take a tenth of your seed and of your vineyards and give to his officers and to his servants. He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants. Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.'
The people did not heed this warning, but continued to ask Samuel for a king:
"Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, 'No, but there shall be a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.'" (1 Samuel 8:9-20)
A hundred or so years later, Israel was ruled by her third king, Solomon. Solomon had subjected the surrounding nations under Israel's rule and expanded the borders of the kingdom to the greatest size ever seen in its entire history. There were great scientific, technological and artistic advances. Israel became very prosperous. Massive building projects were undertaken. Now instead of the humble donkeys ridden by judges of old, Solomon imported stately horses, indicative of empire.
But, with the benefits of a great empire, came the burdens as well.
Empires are expensive. Solomon had to levy heavy taxes in order to maintain his kingdom. Also, forced labor was necessary. At first this came from the surrounding conquered nations, which probably did not illicit too many protests from the Israelites. But eventually, Solomon had to press fellow Israelites into forced service through the corvee system.
He would send 10,000 of his people per month to Lebanon to work for shifts of one month in Lebanon and two months home. This is one example of the many duties put on the backs of the people. This double burden of heavy taxation and forced labor eventually led to the northern half of the kingdom of Israel rebelling against Solomon's son and successor to the throne, Rehoboam. The people asked him to lighten the burden that Solomon had imposed. Not only did Rehoboam refuse, but he promised to make it far worse.
In response, civil war broke out in Israel, and the northern half broke away from the southern half, never to be reunited again. Neither of the two kingdoms ever obtained the glory and heights of Solomon's empire, but they both sank into immorality and were eventually destroyed by the Assyrians and Babylonians.
What can be learned from the mistakes of the Israelites? For a nation to be great, it must first be good. Every citizen must take responsibility to be moral and upright. The strength of a nation is not in the might of its government, but in the goodness of the people. As John Adams said:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Also, George Washington said in his farewell address:
"Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. 28 It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who, that is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?
Thomas Shepherd, a Puritan minister and founder of Harvard University, said that only a nation that embraces the Gospel will be free. He stated that if a nation, like the Israelites of old, departs from God, then God will give them over to a harsh task master. It may be a foreign power or maybe even one's own government. If people don't want to follow a benevolent heavenly ruler, then they will end up serving an oppressive earthly ruler. We have seen the greatest (though imperfect) expression of the Gospel in the United States, and it is no accident that the United States has been a bastion of freedom, an example for the rest of the world, a city set on a hill.
There are many ways to fight tyranny and each one of us has to decide how we can be most effective in this struggle. At the heart of the matter, at a foundational level, our nation will not recover from where we have fallen unless we reestablish our bond with the heavenly King and then maybe we won't need such a strong, tyrannical, earthly king.
"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." (Galations 5:1)

How to grow an entrepreneur is coming to Amazon.com soon. It is a book called SAVE PEBBLE DROPPERS & PROSPERITY. The book shows how America prospered in a world unable to achieve freedom, prosperity and success, other than dictatorship and special interest elite bennies. It describes the psychological foundation of entrepreneurship and prosperity. The basic, simple elements of prosperity are listed in claysamerica.com and are great Tea Party and Ayn Rand justifications for those new to politics. Many people are learning why and how to apply the brakes to Obama's headlong rush to European Marxism, mercantilism and bigger government. The tradition of individualism and freedom is still too strong for the kind of centralizing power-grab we are experiencing today.

To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown.
Lentils are a legume that require no soaking. Before cooking, just make sure you rinse them and pick through for any debris. Lentils have an earthy flavor and do well when paired with assertive seasonings, such as the spices in this casserole.
Feel free to substitute golden raisins for the apricots in the topping.

The Huffington Concert Series continues at Culver Academies with the return of the Chicago-based Hubbard Street II Dance Company (www.hubbardstreetdance.com) Tuesday, March 12, at the Eppley Auditorium on the school's campus. The company, which has performed to rave reviews in 44 states and 19 countries.
Described as "A near-perfect storm of movement, music and choreography" by the Los Angeles Times, the modern dance company will take the stage at 7:30 p.m.
Chances are, most Culver residents drive with some regularity by the Elkay (Medallion, if you're looking at the sign) factory at the corner of West Mill Street and State Road 17, oblivious to the fact that the plant churns out some 650 cabinets -- some custom made -- each day for national vendors like Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and Sears, employing some 260 workers. They're also one of the few plants in American which can run both traditional and frameless cabinets on the same line, at the level they do, thanks to an "extreme assembly makeover" at the factory last July.
According to presenters at an event last Thursday, chances are a mass shooter at a local school, business, or public place will already have departed, committed suicide, or been disarmed by a bystander before law enforcement agencies arrive at the scene -- in which case, civilians need to think ahead and plan, should the worst take place.
After much planning and discussion over the past year or more, Culver's parks and recreation department now boasts a programming director, in addition to the role of park superintendent Kelly Young.
Already on the job and conceiving programs, activities, and events is Donna McKee, who arrived in Culver seveen years ago along with her family when husband David's job relocated them from Michigan. The McKees have two sons, Dylan (3rd grade) and Derek (1st grade) in the Culver Elementary School, who Donnas says "keep me very active."
The Culver Community School corporation's budget will be $500,000 less by 2014, which translates to a job loss for 7 to 10 teachers, likely mostly from the Culver Elementary School staff.
The news initially hit school staff members in a letter circulated by school superintendent Brad Schuldt last month, though the decision was formalized regarding $500,000 in budget cuts this year at the school board's Feb. 4 meeting, in which it was also resolved to make cuts totaling $700,000 within two to three years.
Members of a Culver museum steering committee shared a vision they hope will address two of what they feel are Culver's needs -- that of a dedicated center to act as a "one stop shop" for visitors to the community seeking any and all information about Culver, and that of a center preserving the stories of Culver's past -- with the Culver Chamber of Commerce last week.
Culver Community High School wrestlers Allen Betts and Mark and Matt Hurford continue to strive for success day in and day out. All three of these wrestlers have one thing in common, other than all three being NSC and sectional champions: all three competed for a semi-state championship at Merrillville High School Saturday.
The first African-American students to attend Culver Academies enrolled in 1965, when a student from Gary, Ind., and a gifted scholarship student from Watts (Los Angeles) enrolled as a sophomore and freshman, respectively.
Then-superintendent Gen. Delmar T. Spivey, according to an article in the summer, 1987 Culver Alumni magazine on the school's black student history, had said prior to the 1965 school year, "Our policy has always been that when a qualified black student applies, he will be admitted," and without fanfare, added the superintendent -- which was just what happened.
With the exception of Hollywood invention, it's rare in actual history that a real, live person steps outside the context of their own era and predicts something which today we hold as a given. So imagine the first African-American student to graduate from Culver High School, Clara B.
The Culver park board's vote as to whether to allow a beer tasting event in the town park came down to an even 50-50 split, but the lack of a majority of favorable votes equaled a "no."
The decision came after lengthy -- and sometimes heated -- discussion between representatives of the proposed event, Evil Czech Brewery owner George Pesek and brewery manager Shawn Erikson, and the park board and audience.
