|"I Believe": The Poetry of Wislawa Szymborska
There is something almost fragile, something disarmingly vulnerable and at times unwieldy about the poetry of Wislawa Szymborska; fragile, vulnerable, and unwieldy in a similar way to one of Mendelssohn's "Songs without Words." Her sense of irony undercuts any pretension (a vice that she seems completely to lack in herself), and becomes a weapon, deftly cutting and destabilizing any attempt by others to mask the truth.

all correspondence about the committee will be addressed. He or she is
also responsible for maintaining committee records and filing reports on
time. The registered agent must be a natural
The registered agent acts as a treasurer,
keeping track of all contributions and expenditures.
In addition to the registered agent, the committee may also
appoint a designated filing agent to be responsible for the timely filing of
Contribution and Expenditure reports.
Q5. Do we have to have a registered agent?
A5. Yes. All committees registered with our office must have a registered agent.

must file a resignation letter with the appropriate filing officer via
certified mail.
There must be a registered agent associated with each committee at all times.
Q7. When do we have to file reports?
A7. Filing calendars for committees participating in a recall election are determined by the date of the election, or by the date that the recall petition is deemed insufficient. The filing officer will prepare and issue the calendar.

Q11. Can a recall committee support or oppose particular candidates to fill a vacancy left by a recall?
A11. No. A recall committee can only be used to address the recall issue; persons supporting or opposing candidates to fill a vacancy left by a successful recall need to form a political committee.

contributions received by a committee must be deposited in a financial
institution in a separate account with a title that includes the
committee name.

choose which bank you will use for your committee account. Please
consult your bank and IRS regulations concerning account requirements,
which may vary depending on the institution.
Q15. What statutes and rules apply to recall committees?
A15. The following provisions apply to recall committees:
Registration and reporting: C.R.S. 1-45-108(6) and Rule 15.

Tag, Toss & Run
Tag, Toss & Run
This spring arrives with the release of this book from Storey Publishing that I illustrated, "Tag, Toss & Run," art directed by Alethea Morrisson. It's a really nice concept for a book, a compilation of lawn games along with their rules, histories, some diagrams and illustrations. Everything from more commonly known games like badminton and croquet to lesser known games such as Quoits and Cherokee Marbles.
I did these drawings in the summer of 2011, and will always remember the book as one of the toughest deadlines I ever had. This is because right before the finals were due, I had to go and have wrist surgery on my drawing wrist, which put me in a cast for three weeks and, after the cast was removed, projected me into months of hand therapy. There were a ton of drawings, a rigorous schedule, and a further challenge: the interiors needed to be colored in "channels" using 2 Pantone Spot colors.
Sometimes it's fun to do a project that is pure design and gesture. Conceptually, the only challenge on these was to show the idea of how the game works, and do so in a way that focuses most on the fun of the play. Before the surgery, I made a point to finish all of the interior sketches. Here are a few of them.
While in the cast, I had my assistant Catalina Bastias transfer all of the sketches onto board. When the cast was removed, my forearm was extremely weak, but fortunately the small movement of painting the line art with ink was therapeutic.
After finishing all of the line art, I set about educating myself on how to work in channels. With a good bit of help from Storey's production department, once I figured it out it was a fun way to work. Channels allow for an interesting play with transparency, something I'd like to explore more in the future. For this, in order to stay on deadline in semi-gimp mode, I worked them in a more technically straightforward approach, using Illustrator, Painter and Photoshop.

Something I've noticed recently in the publishing world is that covers are getting more and more obsessed over. In this case, the title kept changing. It originally began as being called "Olly Olly Oxen Free," which I loved. As a kid in Missouri in the 70's, we used to scream that out while playing neighborhood games. However, it got changed a few more times before being finalized. As my cover treatment was typographically focused, it was a bit of a shuffle.
In the end, I look back on this project and realize it was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to work on a unique product with an excellent art director. I'd worked with Alethea once before when she was at Chronicle Books, on a gift book called Angel Catcher for Kids. Stressful at times, but a good learning experience and a productive way to help heal a wrist.

We stayed at Hotel Executive Suites in Carteret, NJ the evening prior to our cruise with our group. The hotel was reasonably priced and there is a bar and restaurant there. Our stay included a breakfast. The drive to the port was approximately 20 minutes with traffic.
We arrived at port around 10:30am. We were in a concierge room, so we were the 3rd bus load to be driven to the port. (those not familiar with this port you have to take a bus a short ride to the ship) We were greeted with Champagne or Mimosa when entering the ship.
Had read reviews about how run down the ship was. We thought that the ship was beautiful. Our cabin #7186 was ready for us at 1:30pm and we had 3 or our 4 bags before the muster. Prince was our cabin steward and took very good care of us. Unfortunately, right before the muster my sister fell and hit her head in the bathroom by tripping over her shoe on the ledge of the bathroom and had to get stitches. Heck of a way to get out of the muster...lol. The doctor and his staff where wonderful with her. Of course, we will never let her live that one down.
We ate in the Main Dining Room all but 2 nights. The food was very good most nights and the staff was wonderful. Nelson was our server and was excellent. Even the wine server kept us full with our wine and was terrific. We ate in the café the other two evenings, when we were at port, since we had a tour with Sally Bum Bum and Capt Leon at 5:30pm.
This was the 2nd time we did this evening sunset cruise with Sally Bum Bum and the highlight of the cruise. We also took a taxi all together to Horseshoe Bay and had a wonderful time. Took the ferry over to St. George and walked the town one day and over to Hamilton. We love Bermuda. This was our 4th trip to Bermuda.
We sat twice in the auditorium to see shows only to get up and leave. We decided after that not to watch the shows. We have seen so many excellent shows on other ships and were really sadden by these.
The other disappointment that most of the group complained about was that the bar staff was few and far between. The pool bar had only 2 servers and it was packed. All of us had the beverage package and found it difficult to get drinks when we wanted them. At many areas where they should have had bar staff waiting on tables we couldn't find any or it took them 40 minutes to get to our table. We would end up going to the bar ourselves and waited long there. Also, there was complaints that this ship catered to older people and everything seemed to shut down around 11pm.
Disembarkment was quick and we were out of there in no time. Would I sail on the Summit again. Probably not, when there are other ships that sail to Bermuda that have more activity and staff. I do think it is a beautiful ship. If you are looking for quiet and early nights then this is a good ship to sail on. With a group of us looking to dance and for activity, it was a little disappointing. If not for our group, we may have been bored, but there was plenty of laughter and so much fun just being with our friends.

The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Prince George's County and much of the surrounding Washington, D.C. region.
According to the forecast, scattered thunderstorms may roll into the area this evening, some with the potential to produce large hail and powerful winds.
For Independence Day, forecasters said that an upper level disturbance could bring severe thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
The storms aren't the only thing that could put a damper on your Fourth of July celebrations. With the heat index predicted to be above 100 on Wednesday, the risk of heat-related illnesses increases.
Temperature-wise, the forecast isn't getting any better for the rest of the week. High temperatures are predicted through Saturday.

The Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County could lose a quarter of its budget Tuesday if county commissioners move forward with a plan to send stray animals to DeSoto County.
Commissioners say it'll save taxpayer money, but animal lovers say they'd be making a big mistake.
"I know they have sent their representatives there to see the facility and they think it's a viable option, but it's much different when you have to look in the eyes of an animal like this and say, 'sorry pal, we have no room for you,'" said AWL Board Member Dianne Hoffer.
Last summer, commissioners cut their monthly funding from about $18,000 down to $5,000. A few months later, the AWL tried negotiating a new contract, but they haven't been able to agree on a proper number for funding.
Now, the county says they could save even more taxpayer money by changing where they send strays. Commissioners are considering cutting off funding completely and sending animals to a pound in DeSoto where animals are usually euthanized after five days.
"I think the county should figure that out with them than make the decision by themselves, since they're not the ones who have to take care of the animals or put them down," said Port Charlotte resident Kassie Benton.
Charlotte County's AWL does not euthanize animals for space. Commissioners could not be reached for comment. A final decision is expected Tuesday.

Three people are in the Walton County Jail after sheriff's deputies busted a meth lab in DeFuniak Springs.
According to the Walton County Sheriff's Office (WCSO), investigators received a tip that an active methamphetamine lab was located inside a house at 310 Cat Island Road. When officers went to the scene, they allegedly discovered items used for manufacturing methamphetamine.
The WCSO Vice/Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant and reportedly recovered an active lab, more than 200 grams of methamphetamine oil and several grams of finished product. The WCSO said it also found chemicals used in the manufacturing process, a small amount of marijuana and several items of paraphernalia including cooking vessels, smoking devices and hypodermic syringes.
Deputies arrested the three residents of the house: Rachel Beth Parker, Ryan Marshall Phillips and David Peterson. The trio was charged with manufacturing and trafficking of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of narcotics equipment.

MIDDLEBURY — The RV industry is on its way back in Indiana, and Elkhart County has a lot to do with it.
To help relay that message, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence made a brief appearance in Middlebury Thursday afternoon to help celebrate the recent expansion plans of up-and-coming RV manufacturer Grand Design RV LLC.
Surrounded by Grand Design executives, employees, team members, suppliers and their family members, Grand Design President and co-owner Don Clark announced that in the next 60 days the company plans to launch its second line of RVs — a launch which could potentially bring as many as 120 new jobs to the county.
Started by RV veterans Clark and brothers Ron and Bill Fenech in late 2012, Grand Design's first RV unit, the extended stay fifth-wheel known as the "Solitude," rolled off the line on Jan. 15 to rave reviews.
"Our entry into the marketplace, the "Solitude," has been very well received by the retail buyers — so well received that I am pleased to announce that in the next 60 days we will begin manning and staffing for Line 2," Clark said. "Our Line 2 will produce a smaller, mid-profile fifth-wheel. After the ramping up stage of Line 2, we intend to bring approximately 120 more jobs to the community. These are exciting times for Grand Design."
And if you ask Pence, it's exciting news for all of Indiana as well, especially when coupled with Grand Design's recent pledge to bring as many as 500 new jobs to the area by 2016. That's a pledge the company has to keep, at least if it wants to take advantage of up to $2.85 million in conditional tax credits and up to $200,000 in training grants recently provided to the company by the Indiana Economic Development Corp. Such tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
"When I was first elected governor, I said we were going to make job creation job one, and today is a great example of how Hoosier entrepreneurs and Hoosier workers are coming together to create new jobs and opportunities and are bringing Indiana back," Pence said. "Grand Design launched in the fall of 2012 and has been on a tear ever since, with plans to produce more than 1,750 units this year. We appreciate their commitment to quality and to service. This is a great moment for Elkhart County and the RV industry."
Pence went on to thank the company for its decision to locate its headquarters and manufacturing operations in Indiana and for throwing its support behind the workers of Elkhart County.
"The desire of this company to set up a "Grand Design" here in Middlebury in Elkhart County is a tribute to many things, but it's mostly to the skill, to the character and the work ethic of the people of Indiana, and particularly of Elkhart County," Pence said. "We look forward to your continuing and abounding success. You are proving today two things: the Hoosier RV industry is coming back, and Indiana is open for business."
Elkhart County Council member Dave Hess also had some words of thanks and encouragement for the fledgling RV company during Thursday's gathering.
"Things have turned the corner, and things are improving in Elkhart County, and I think it's a real testament to the outlook and the vision of these fine business people we've got here, and the fact that they chose Elkhart County not only to locate their industry, but to grow and expand their industry as well," Hess said. "They could have probably gone anywhere they wanted to, but they chose Elkhart County because of our entrepreneurial spirit, our expertise in the RV business, and most of all, you people standing right out here, the workers in this county. I think it's because of companies like this that the future of Elkhart County is very bright."

That 23-member board, according to the agreement, will govern the two systems during the two-year transition period and also be responsible for adopting a transition plan as recommended by a 21-member transition planning commission under the terms of the Norris-Todd state law that guides transfer of MCS administration to the county. On Sept. 1, 2013, after merger has been completed, the 16 MCS and SCs members would evaporate. The judge has granted the County Commission his blessing to then create a 13-member board.
- How does Judge Mays' order affect the Shelby County School Board election scheduled for next August involving three current members who are up for re-election?
- Can current school board members resign their positions so that they can run in the election next August for the 7 new slots in order to extend their stay on the school board past the point at which they would otherwise have to drop off?
The agreement calls for all existing MCS and SCS seats to stay in place until Sept. 1, 2013. Those seats are never again subject to election -- the terms extend by one year for the three SCS and four MCS board seats that would've faced election in 2012. If a vacancy occurs in any of the seats, the Shelby County Commission will appoint someone from that particular district to finish out the term.
The seven NEW seats -- non-MCS and non-SCS -- will be subject to election in August of 2012. The County Commission moved forward with the process to appoint the interim members to those seats, and will have them ready to join the unified board on Oct. 1.
And, yes, the current MCS and current SCS members can indeed run for those countywide seats. As we understand it now, the current MCS and SCS members would not have to resign to run, which could make for some interesting dynamics on the countywide board if an appointed incumbent is being challenged by one of the elected MCS or SCS members.
- How soon after the new 7-member Shelby County Consolidated School Board takes office in the fall of 2013 can the County Commission expand the board and hold an election to fill the slots?
- Will the commission have to redraw the boundary lines and form a completely new board, or can it keep some of the original 7 members and hold an election to fill the vacancies?
This is one reason why it may make sense for the current SCS and MCS members interested in staying on the countywide school board (not all of them are) to stand pat and NOT run for the 2012 seats -- they could just keep their political powder dry and hope the Commission will appoint them for the expanded 13-member school board. On the other hand, running in 2012 looks like a no-risk proposition since MCS and SCS members are guaranteed their seats through transition (however, politicians underestimate the risk of suffering a political loss at their own peril -- voters hate the smell of political weakness).
Even after the Commission does the likely expansion and redistricting to 13 seats in 2013, the seven people who are elected in 2012 would stay on until their terms are completed. However, it is possible some of those seven might be affected by the redistricting. If so, they would probably stay in office until the next regularly scheduled election.
Add all that up, and you can conclude that we won't likely have an entirely popularly-elected county school board in place until Sept. 1, 2014. Depending on your view of the judgment of Shelby County voters vs. the County Commission, that may or may not be a good thing.

We're up and running in Colombia, where the home side are met by the iconic blue and white of Argentina, who are led by superstars Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain. Realistically, they might as well have nobody else on the pitch, because for some reason Alejandro Sabella has decided that Colombia merit three defensive midfielders, two of whom don't even play in Europe.
The fact that Argentina are playing to pretty much shut everything down is fairly evident from the play thus far - the visitors are calmly keeping possession but not doing much with it, and the hosts' attacking play has been somewhat stymied by the amount of bodies clogging up the midfield. Nobody's made much of a mark so far, which is disappointing considering that one of these teams is Argentina and is starting two of the best forwards in world football. Come on, game. You can be more entertaining than this.

Bring Back P.B. Crisps
To: Planters, a division of Kraft Foods In 1992 you introduced the snack product known as P.B. Crisps. Since that time, they have been discontinued...and no other snack has lived up to its reputation. This was quite possibly the most delicious snack product ever introduced to the market. Our request is that you bring this product back for the consumer. This may seem like a joke, but anybody who has ever had this snack can attest to how serious this matter really is.

Deadly crash
DALLAS - A vehicle burst into flames after the driver lost control, ultimately slamming into a pole off North Central Expressway near Lemmon Avenue in Dallas.
Two people inside the vehicle were killed in the fiery crash. Two others were pulled from the vehicle and taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Their conditions are not known.
Witnesses at the scene attempted to pull the last two victims from the vehicle but said the flames were too strong.
Authorities said the driver lost control while on the northbound Central Expressway service road, driving through a fence and slamming into a power line pole around 1:30 a.m. Friday.
Power was knocked out to two nearby apartment complexes.
Nobody has been identified.

Jewish extremists vandalized six cars in the Palestinian village of Kusra around
1:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the B'Tselem NGO.
Four of the vehicles
were torched and two had their windows broken, said B'Tselem, which provided
photographs of two of the vehicles.
The IDF could not confirm the "price
tag" attack because its forces could not safely enter the village to investigate
the matter.
But Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad condemned both
the "price tag" attack and the IDF demolition of electricity poles in the same
village on Wednesday.
A statement by his office said, that the "acts of
sabotage by the occupation forces" as the "continuation of settler terrorism
against our people" showed that Israel was deliberately targeting "the basic
elements of the life of our people."
Early Thursday morning, a number of
Palestinians who saw the Jewish extremists vandalize the cars, alerted the
village. A mosque used its microphone system to call out a warning that
extremists, believed to be settlers, were in the village. The vandals
When Israeli security forces arrived an hour later, villagers
attacked them with stones, according to the IDF.
Clashes broke out, and
security forces used riot dispersal means, to clear the area.
forces abandoned the area, attempting to return later in the morning, only to be
met with more stone throwing. They again used riot dispersal means. Both times
the IDF had to leave the village.
This is the second time in two days
that clashes have broken out between security forces and Palestinians in Kusra.
Security forces arrived to help an IDF team take down some 10 or 12 electricity
poles on Wednesday that, according to the IDF, had been illegally raised.

A North Dakota woman has pleaded guilty to felony child abuse which led to the death of a toddler on the Spirit Lake Reservation.
Thirty-two-year-old Hope Louise Tomahawk Whiteshield, of St. Michael, pleaded guilty to child abuse and witness tampering in federal court on Monday.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, federal prosecutors will recommend a sentence of 30 years in prison for the two felony charges. Whiteshield has agreed not to seek a sentence of less than 25 years.
Tomahawk Whiteshield is accused of throwing a girl just shy of 3 years old down an embankment last month, then bathing and clothing the unresponsive child and putting her to bed. An autopsy concluded the girl died of a head injury.
A sentencing date has not been scheduled.
UPDATED JUNE 21: Step Grandmother arrested - child died from "severe head trauma"
31 Year-old Hope Lousie Tomahawk Whiteshield was arrested in the child's death and charged with child abuse and neglect. The US Attorney's office confirmed the arrest this afternoon in a criminal complaint where they accuse Whiteshield of throwing the child down an embankment. They also corrected the age of the dead toddler, Lauren Whiteshield. The FBI had originally reported the child's age as 3 years old, the corrected age is 2 years 11 months.
Fort Totten police chief Marty Foote confirmed this afternoon that an arrest had been made in the death of a child on the Spirit Lake reservation. He did say that the FBI had authorized him to confirm the arrest.
Sources we have spoke with who have read the autopsy report on three year old Lauren Whiteshield say the report indicates the child died from "severe head trauma."
This is a developing story. Keep checking back for more details.
June 19, 2013
North Dakota's U.S. senators are calling for quick action by authorities investigating the death of a 3-year-old girl on the Spirit Lake Reservation.
June 18, 2013
The FBI is calling the death of a three year old girl on the Spirit Lake Reservation "mysterious." FBI spokesman Kyle Loven says they are trying to determine if the child's death is a homicide.
The toddler was pronounced dead Thursday morning after police were called to a home on the corner of BIA 4 and Highway 1. Investigators had the home taped off early in the day.

Short of a built-in fan, nothing provides better venting than the Foray's two-way side-zips, which extend from armpit to hem. Testers loved the ability to adjust from standard pit-zip openings to gaping poncho-style vents. The jacket's waterproof/breathable Gore-Tex Paclite kept us dry in all conditions, from pounding afternoon thunderstorms to steady all-day showers. The adjustable hood has a wide, stiff visor that prevents water from dripping in the eyes or face, and the below-the-hip cut is just right for moderate conditions.

UNC guard Leslie McDonald has torn his anterior cruciate ligament, according to The Daily Tar Heel, UNC's campus newspaper.
McDonald will be a junior this season and was expected to have a significant role after averaging seven points a game in his sophomore season, hitting 51 three-pointers.
McDonald reportedly suffered the injury during a summer league basketball game in Durham, N.C., which gives Tar Heel fans yet another reason to hate Duke. As if they needed one.
"I just hate this for Leslie and his family," Coach Roy Williams said in a press release. "He's worked so hard this off-season and he told me he was really playing well. We'll certainly support him as he works to get back on the floor, but we will miss his play on both ends of the court."
Although the injury is devastating to McDonald and his supporters, UNC will still likely have a dominant season in the ACC after returning all five starters from an Elite Eight squad, plus adding five-star freshman James McAdoo.

Warning: The following may not be an angry rant, but also couldn't pass as an attempt for journalism by any stretch of the imagination. Please tread carefully as I allow you free entrance into my stream of consciousness.
A definite change has come over me, since I started visiting the West Bank and the rift between my world and the politicians' is widening. There's a distinct difference between all the complex formalities between Netanyahu and Obama, and Clinton and Abbas, and my own relations with the Palestinians and other international activists. While politicians call it "international relations" and formulate strange rituals of courtesy, I find that no matter who I'm addressing, as long as I come in peace, with a smile, our international relations will be just dandy, and any cultural faux pas immediately forgiven (with a smile).
I'd really like to intellectually analyze all the meetings that are happening, lately, in the White House, but really, I've heard this kind of talk before. And though I was very happy to read Clinton be specific ("[Obama] wants to see a stop to settlements — not some settlements, not outposts, not 'natural growth' exceptions…"), I just refuse to celebrate until I read the human rights groups' reports that prove it.
It's probably just the anarchist in me, but it seems the detachment of politicians from "their" people and their interests in furthering their own gain/agendas/values is what brings on these complex situations, in the first place. As demented leaders air-strike civilians (overseas or in the back yard), college students act as human shields for their perceived "enemies", begging an answer to the question "can't we all just get along?"
"Yes we can!" Said Obama, and I find myself perplexed yet again at the grim reality in which I'm being a responsible citizen and getting along, thus furthering peace, while my government sends my children to shoot gas canisters at me. And what does Obama do? He says "stop the settlements". I understand the need to be cautious and not do anything too dramatic, and not offend either side, but quite frankly, my government is criminal. And since when do we kiss the ass of a mass murderer?
This is where the stream diverts to the UN (I know, I know, all you veterans told me- US controls the UN). All 30 articles of the International Declaration of Human Rights are being violated daily. What was it written for, if you continually allow these violations? If I'm going to have jungle law, than I'd rather have no law at all. If I'm going to have to strategize and formalize every move I make, in order to talk with my neighbors, it's not going to be any wonder we don't get along.
One of the most poignant quotes I've heard about the occupation came out of Michael Palin (bold by me):
"Most depressingly, the policy of West Bank settlements deliberately prevents the people of the area, Jewish or Palestinian, from coming together for any kind of mutual interest or to exchange or discuss their experiences. With human contact virtually forbidden, it's hard to imagine how political change can ever be effected."
That's the point. That's the be-all-end-all of this situation. Had Israelis and Palestinians been able to mingle, this wouldn't happen. My government is extremely good at dividing and conquering. One simple realization came to me,as I was having what can only be referred to as a "spiritual experience": When I sit with my neighbors- eat from their plate, socialize, play music, engage in simple friendly trade, laugh, help in time of need, god-forbid fall in love- I'm doing the one thing my government fears the most- Making peace.

Amir Khan and Zab Judah hit the scales this evening in Las Vegas in preparation of their HBO clash tomorrow night. Both men weighed in at the targeted 140 pounds so their junior welterweight title bout is a go. There were no real fireworks or any other unexpected behavior at the weigh-in but both men looked ready for what should be a terrific bout.
Other weigh in results included Peter Qulinin and Jason LeHoullier both weighing in at 161, Gary Russell weighing 126 for his bout with Eric Estrada who checked in at 128. Finally James Kirkland and Alexis Hloros both tipped the scales at 157.5.
One other note of interest for boxing fans from the weigh-ins that speaks to future fights comes courtesy of Dan Rafael's twitter:
Had a chance to talk to Jorge Linares. Really wants fight DeMarco, which is possible for a vacant 135 belt.

- 1/2 cup store-bought refrigerated fresh salsa
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- In the bowl of a slow cooker, combine the beer, 3 cups water, the chilies, adobo sauce, cumin, onion, beans, pork, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- Set the slow cooker to high and cook, covered, until the beans are tender and the pork pulls apart easily, 4 to 5 1/2 hours. Using a fork, separate the pork into large pieces.
- Divide among individual bowls and top with the sour cream, salsa, and cilantro.
- Note: This recipe was tested in a 6-quart slow cooker. Because different models cook at different rates, the cooking time above is presented as a range. Check for doneness at the low end of the range (but not before, as the escaped heat will significantly slow the cooking). If the food is not done, cover and cook to the end of the suggested time range. If using a slow-cooker smaller than 6 quarts, the cooking time may take an additional hour or more, and results may vary.

Dave Lobeck
Birmingham —
When readers think about a column, they likely consider the wealth of knowledge the author has acquired on the art of creating great barbecue, or how to properly grill and present 5-star outdoor
entrees. At least I hope they do.
What is probably overlooked is the second state of good grilling and barbecue, that being the use of great outdoor leftovers to create delicious dishes in the kitchen. That's what we will cover in today's column.
I had leftover beer can chicken. It is moist and has a hint of smokiness. You can also use smoked chicken, or any cooked chicken for that matter. I decided to fix a casserole with what I had at the
house. I came across a recipe for a chicken and stuffing casserole. But of course, I had to kick it up a bit. I posted a video on my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/BBQMyWay. Once you get to my channel, search for "chicken casserole."
This casserole was a real hit, and filled the house with heavenly smells of smoked chicken and sage.
Perfect aromas for the opening of autumn.
Recipe and Ingredients
3 to 4 cups of cooked chicken (smoked or beer can is the best)
2 cups of chicken broth
1 14 oz can of cream of celery soup
1 14 oz can of cream of mushroom soup
1 box of commercial stuffing mix
12 oz bag of green beans
1 cup of sliced mushroom
1 stick of butter
1 Tbs of chopped garlic
½ cup of your favorite cheese
½ cup of fried onion toppings (optional)
Saute the mushrooms and the garlic in 1 touch of butter and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Microwave the green beans for 75 percent of the recommended time and set aside.
Combine the chicken broth with the two cans of soup in a large bowl. Mix till smooth. Add the cooked mushrooms, green beans and chicken. Set aside.
Pour the stuffing mix in a separate bowl.
Melt the butter and add to the stuffing.
Stir thoroughly. Pour the stuffing - butter mixture into the bowl containing the chicken et al and mix thoroughly. Pour into a casserole dish that has been sprayed with a cooking spray and spread out evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Add the shaved cheese (and/or fried onion toppings) and bake for another 5 minutes.
If serving wine, consider a Pinot Noir. If beer is your adult beverage of choice,
offer a nice ale on the sweet side. Serve it up and enjoy!

The city will not have court in the month of June, all cases slated for June will be rescheduled for July.
As before, the council and mayor expressed a great deal of frustration over the condition of the court records and the function of the court itself.
"I'm tired of talking about it," Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harvey said. "It's been seven or eight months and we haven't dealt with the court, it's time to do something."
The council chose last week at its regular meeting to not retain or reappoint the magistrate as part of a campaign to overhaul the city's troubled court system.
A letter from the Alabama Peace Officer Annuity and Benefit Fund, which is suppose receive a portion of court proceeds, said that they received $10 on May 6 as payment for the January court date but had received no money or reports for February through May.
The council hopes to find a candidate with experience in the field and hire them as soon as possible to begin rehabilitating the records and get the court system back on track.
The council also considered changing the employee insurance packages provided by the city due to increases in insurance premiums. The council ultimately decided to take no action on the insurance.
The changes to rates will take effect July 1.

The Need for Struggle - Blacks at a Political Impasse
Post: #1
The Need for Struggle - Blacks at a Political Impasse
Dem boyz at Black Commentator are "spitin' hot fiya" lol
For real tho this paragraph says it very clearly... any objections?
The media-based modalities of corporate political conduct - in which much is said, but nothing is grounded in fact - can be countered by a political strategy that affirms the Black Political Consensus as it has actually existed for generations. We must lay out the lines of demarcation - the "bright lines" that separate the "derelicts" and traitors from the rest of us. And then we must demand that our political leadership adhere to these "bright lines." Or be ousted.
The Need for Struggle - Blacks at a Political Impasse
We have arrived at, and long passed, the juncture in Black politics when we can afford a false unanimity. Although there does exist an overwhelming consensus of progressive opinion among African Americans at-large, there is a deep and widening chasm between the people and those who purport to represent the masses - such as has not been seen since the mid-Sixties, when distinct strains of divergent Black political opinion gave motion to various oppositional movements. These movements were not opposed to each other, but were joined in opposition to racial oppression.
The result was a social transformation of America - accomplished by Black people - and which spawned the women's and anti-war movement: children of the Black movement, without which these social advances would not have been possible. The entire society was restructured, for the benefit of most citizens. But there was a price to pay - a great "white backlash" that has been most dramatically manifested in mass Black incarceration as a national policy since the early Seventies, the white reaction to Blacks stepping out of their place.
At the same time, during the early Seventies, we saw the ascension of a newly liberated class of Blacks who had cashed in on the chips that the Freedom Movement had provided. These African Americans saw a clear cut through the forest to the sunlight of profit - and took off like gazelles. The masses of Black folks applauded them, believing that their political and financial victories were our own. But they were not.
The Black political-business class positioned itself to accept the largesse of the much more powerful white capitalist class. It took a generation for the white corporate denizens to realize that their money was their power, and that they should use it to influence the now-established Black political-business class. White corporate America convinced itself, fitfully, to sit down with Negroes who would sit down with them, and come to agreement. They found a willing audience.
By the mid-Nineties, the corporate approach to Black politics had matured. They would use their financial resources to create a new Black leadership, and to infiltrate the urban environs in which Black politics operates - the Democratic Party.
From what was a trickle of cash to the only right-wing member of the Congressional Black Caucus - Floyd Flake (NY), in the mid-Nineties - to a Mississippi of money to the "derelicts" who have been identified by the CBC Monitor, we have witnessed a sea change in the behavior of the Black business-political class. They now try to define racial progress in terms of their own aggrandizement. But we are not applauding, anymore.
This deal has run its course. It is now clear that the class that was catapulted to Black leadership was - with some exceptions - out for itself. Too much blood has been spilled to be wasted on them.
There is a reason that this Black political-business class has been allowed to seize - and abuse - Black people's power for their own profit. It is the strong historical current of Black solidarity - trust. For so many generations, we relied on that solidarity, and supported our upwardly mobile few, trusting that they would do good in the 'hood. Often, they did. Now, they don't. They work against our interests - bought off by corporations.
Nobody can force corporate America to abandon its offensive against independent Black politics. They have the money to finance their infiltration - to invent media-created Black leaders. But we also have the power to rise up and say "No! That ain't our leader!"
The media-based modalities of corporate political conduct - in which much is said, but nothing is grounded in fact - can be countered by a political strategy that affirms the Black Political Consensus as it has actually existed for generations. We must lay out the lines of demarcation - the "bright lines" that separate the "derelicts" and traitors from the rest of us. And then we must demand that our political leadership adhere to these "bright lines." Or be ousted.
In order to accomplish this task, it is necessary that Black folks take the historical step - actually, a great leap - into a political maturity and standup-adultness that relinquishes the ties with the class that has betrayed us. We don't have any obligation to Andy Young, the former aide to Martin Luther King who now represents Nike and Wal-Mart. He's getting paid to work against our interests, and against the interests of others who are suffering in this world. Andy Young has gone over to the enemy camp.
We have no interest in Harold Ford, Jr. getting a Senate seat from Tennessee. He is a whore for the Republicans, who says he "loves, personally" George Bush. If it is a choice between Harold Ford and a Republican, what is our business in it? To elect a "role model" who is the worst model of all, for our people and our children?
Black Commentator is concerned most of all about Black political development, not because we are Afri-centric, but because we understand that nothing happens that is progressive in this nation that we have built occurs unless Black people are in motion.
It is therefore time for us to stop censoring ourselves, to stop biting our lips, and to speak the truth as we know it. Forget the Black business-leadership class. Replace them. They are no use, and they do us no good.
Glen Ford and Peter Gamble are writing a book to be titled, Barack Obama and the Crisis of Black Leadership.

A group of Federal Way, Washington parents calling themselves a "Citizens School Safety Committee" say putting armed volunteers in the district's schools is the best way to prevent tragedies like Sandy Hook."These individuals would be carrying concealed while wearing a normal school attire," said Mark Knapp.They would be trained with their own money and would be required to pass the same competency requirements as police officers.The idea is triggering controversy."No one should be armed at a school, period," said parent Josh Turner."I don't think more protection is going to stop it, I think more prevention," said parent Adeline Kerns.Evie Livingston, a school principal, argues they'd be more like vigilantes than volunteers. She questions their ability to make sound decisions."Temperaments are varied and sometimes people get emotional and in a second they can regret something they do later on," she said.Others agree with the idea."We defend our money with guns, why not our students," said parent Alexander Merz.Merz says the proposed "supplemental security" can immediately take out a threat.Read more: http://bit.ly/Vrlp3P

The tag team challenge starts and Aaron wastes no time hovering around Emily's shoulder like a hawk, stressing over details. The pressure builds up in LT and comes out in the worst possible way.
As the artists set up shop, the tensions are already high: Ryan and Mark can't even stand to be in the same room while Cleen and Tim argue about past grievances.
The intense competition begins with a bang as 18 eager artists enter Grand Central Terminal to find out that their first elimination tattoo is to tag team tattoo a human canvas – with their rival.
The artists let their erratic emotions fly for the first time in the loft: LT blames his absurd artwork on his nausea while Robbie and the others let him have it.
Dave Navarro, Oliver Peck, and Chris Nunez have seen it all in the competition; from skull game strategies to manipulative mind games. What explosive results will the rivalries have on Ink Master this season? Watch and find out when Ink Master Rivals premieres on Sept 2 at 10/9c on SPIKE.
18 rival tattoo artists are out to settle the score, facing off in extreme challenges that will test their limits like never before. Only one can claim the $100,000 prize and the title of 'Ink Master'.
Battling brothers Robbie and Jayvo reluctantly work together to decide on a piece for their canvas while LT already lets the other artists get into his head.
From artsy parents to doing graffiti in their spare time, every tattoo artist has inspiration for their art. Sometimes, the best inspiration is the personal connection with clients.
Ink Master is always full of thrilling twists and turns that push artists to compete in ways never dreamed of. Nude canvases? Check. Inking inmates? Check. Scar tattoos? Check.
After a showdown at a tattoo expo where LT emerged as the victor, Ty'Esha wants a second shot to redeem herself. Will she finally prove that her drive and talent make her the better artist?
Tune in to the season premiere of Ink Master Rivals on Sept 2 at 10/9c on SPIKE.

Palo Alto district to offer summer school refunds
Original post made on May 31, 2013

It's a shame that the Weekly didn't think to ask Superintendent Skelly just how much money it costs to run the Summer Sessions.
It's a larger shame that the Superintendent does not seem to know just how much the Summer Sessions cost to produce. When someone makes as much money as this man does, he should demonstrate clear managerial skills, such as knowing the costs of major programs.
on May 31, 2013 at 8:03 am
Also a shame that the weekly didn't fact check the districts claim to have been kind of caught off guard in April because there is another post by Curious on paonline that shows that CDE has been telling districts they can't charge for summer school for at least 15 years. It would really help to get the truth and not just district spin in the news stories. Just because Skelly says it doesn't mean it's true. One might think at this point that fact checking is especially important whe the story is about whether or not the person you are interviewing himself followed the law or not. He does have a reason to spin and shade. In 1997 the CDE guidance was the same ad it is today. Skelly knew that the charges were not allowed he was just like a lot of other districts a scofflaw. That's why the new law was passed. To just print his misleading statements without any reporting or fact checking of easily available facts should embarrass you.
on May 31, 2013 at 8:11 am
Yes, it's beginning to look like this is the last year for summer school.
What will be next? PE?

baby, blizzard 2013, breakfast, food, hot cocoa, inspiration, lifestyle, mommy, motherhood, musings, nature, parenting, photography
Yes, we were forewarned that a blizzard was coming our way. However, that still didn't prepare me for what I witnessed this morning. Opened our front door and basically screamed "What the F (freak)!!" Our car was almost completely engulfed in snow and the street was a complete blanket of white madness that was probably over 2 feet deep.
(via instagram)
This was actually our first time experiencing something like this. Here's what we did today as we were basically stuck in our home. The only short distance traveled was walking outside to the street. It would be sinful to not have Zoey play in the snow!
I made this hearty breakfast consisting of crispy bacon, buttered grits (YUM!), sunny-side up eggs, sauteed spinach, bagel w/ whipped cream cheese, and hot cocoa w/ mini marshmallows. When it's cold outside, a big breakfast seems fitting. Oh, and the two pieces of spinach totally categorized this as a healthy meal.
My favorite part is the undercooked yolk.
My feet were kept warm, cozy, and dry!
Zoey was not as excited to play in the snow as we were.
My husband made this awesome dessert! Enjoy warm and so perfect with maple walnut ice cream.
To keep my footsies and legs warm.
While Zoey took a nap, I enjoyed some hot green tea. Hopefully the weather will be kind tomorrow so we can enjoy some Chinese New Year festivities…
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday!

Sophomore Radka Dimitrova (Sofia, Bulgaria) and 2001 All-conference senior setter Carrie Bosworth (Centreville, Mass.) each recorded double-doubles, but it wasn't enough for the No. 5 Dolphins as they fell to No. 4 Florida Atlantic, 3-1, Friday in the first round of the Atlantic Sun Championship tournament at FAU Gym.
Dimitrova tallied 14 kills and 10 digs for the Dolphins, while Bosworth added 50 assists to along with a match-high 18 digs in her final match as a Dolphin. Junior middle hitter Brooke Ahrens (Benson, Ill.) led JU's offensive attack with a team-high 15 kills, while Alesha Rodriguez chipped in with 12 kills.

JU fell behind, 2-0, losing the first two games 26-30 and 21-30. The Dolphins fought back hard, to win game three, 30-27. The Owls' attack proved too much for JU as the Dolphins dropped the fourth frame, 22-30.
