Pasta Rocks by Olivelle
Individual souffles baked in hollowed-out oranges are an intriguing presentation that fascinates children, while their feather-light texture and intense orange flavor delights everyone.
- 6 navel oranges
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, separated
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F. Cut off the top 1/3 of each orange and reserve the tops. Using a large metal spoon, scoop out the oranges, putting the pulp of 4 oranges into a bowl and saving the rest for another use. In a blender, process the pulp until just pureed, about a minute. Pour the pulp through a sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on it gently with the back of a wooden spoon to release the juice. Using a zester or peeler, remove the zest from the reserved orange tops. Mince the zest and reserve 1 tablespoon.
In a large saucepan, combine the juice and butter. Bring to a boil and continue to boil for about 3 minutes, until reduced by 1/4. Stir in the minced zest. Reduce heat to low and whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste. Whisk in the sugar and salt and cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes gel-like. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the egg yolks until a creamy mixture forms and the color lightens, about 1 minute.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the juice mixture. Fill the 6 orange shells equally with the mixture. Place the shells on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the souffles are puffed and lightly golden. Serve immediately.
Tip: You can also use a food processor to puree the fruit.

Commissioner Corner Message Board
Who do I keep for next season?
I can keep up to five players. Tough decision who to keep, any comments?
Catcher: Wilin Rosario Starting Pitcher: Jered Weaver
Catcher/1B: Carlos Santana Starting Pitcher: CC Sabathia
Second Base: Anthony Rendon Starting Pitcher: Dan Haren
Shortstop: Jimmy Rollins Starting Pitcher: Jared Cosart
Third Base: David Freese Starting Pitcher: Gerrit Cole

Bench: Nelson Cruz Relief Pitcher: Kenley JansenSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Jose Bautista
Adrian Gonzalez
Alex Rios
Nelson Cruz
Wilin Rosario
The first three, they are your best players. Last two, because Rosario is a top five catcher (fantasy wise) and Cruz can be a top flight talent next year. (I am not a Santana believer, check his numbers against other non-big name catchers).
I agree with Suz.... no reason to keep a closer, you can find many, many closers throughout the year as they take over for injuries/ineffectiveness. You don't have any top flight SP to secure either as CC & Weaver have been largely disappointing.
1) Alfonso Soriano seems rejuvenated playing for a contender again and the Yanks will hold on to him seeing what he is still capable of producing for them.
2) Alex Rios so long as he stays in Texas (one of the best hitters parks in basball) should see some good returns with a full season there.
3) Adrian Gonzalez batting third in that hefty lineup is someone I wouldn't be able to part with. It's strong now as is and who knows what will happen if Kemp gets himself back on track again for the start of next season.
4) Kenley Jensen with the strikeout rate coupled with low era and whip playing for a team that looks to be strong for many years to come.
5) Jim Henderson though he plays for a weak club he gets his share of saves with a good strikeout rate and low era and whip consistently. With Braun back next year as well as the emergence of guys like Jean Segura, Scooter Gennet, and Khris Davis showing some promise for the future Jim's prospects for saves look good for next year. Especially since both K-Rod and Axford are gone which were his only real competition for the job. Shouldn't be any closer controversy to worry about with the Brewers.
I know this list excludes SP but I think you need to overhaul your SP from scratch for next year. I feel Jered Weaver and Sabathia might be starting to hit the downsides of their careers and I don't see your young SP guys as being the top end of the rookie crop to waste keeper picks on. I like Kyle Lohse cause he seems to always quietly have a productive season but not quite keeper pick worthy. Throwing all those SP back into the draft pool also gives other teams options to grab so that some of the new pitchers you want to overhaul your staff with stay up on the board a bit longer. People are certainly going to go after CC early and Jered because of their names which will leave other big names you might want up on the board. I don't know if Jered will bounce back but I think CC is just worn down from heavy workloads many seasons.

Good roster. If it were me i'd keep CSantana, AdGonzales, JOBautista, KJansen, LLynn. I'd wait on Gerrit Cole because as you know the second year sometimes teams figure it out on how to hit these new guys so i'd go with the sure thing in Lynn. You could always draft Cole next season.
Purple Tomato Purple Tomato Aug 31, 2013 11:44 AM Flag
this team will be at a disadvantadge in a keeper, there is not a clear #1 first round kind of player to keep
i would keep Bautista, your best player, Santana, A Gonzales, Rios, Jansen.
None of your SP are likely to be better than a 6th round pick next year and you will be able to draft equal players easily. Good solid overall roster though

I agree with Eagleputt regarding the first 4 choices. However, I'd be hesitant to keep a closer - with only 5 keepers - there will be loads of closers available next year and throughout the season as teams make changes. Jansen is an elite closer but I'd personally take Cole cos he's young and has so much potential.

Who is VRX Racing? They are an Asian company that makes affordable basher type vehicles, that's who.

THE Tower Hobbies Cutback SCT Review

THE Pro-Line PRO-MT Monster Truck Review
Low slung buggies and stadium/SCT trucks are great for busting out fast laps, but for real bashing monster trucks still rule. With bigger tires and more ground clearance, monster trucks can blast over the roughest of terrain, land from the highest jumps, and smash into hard objects better than their smaller counterparts.
Recently Pro-Line decided to throw their hat into the 10th scale 2wd monster truck ring. Their new PRO-MT is made up from a slew of high-end hop-up parts, do they jell to form the ultimate basher, or fall short into an overpriced shelf queen?

Can they pull it off? Will the Yeti XL be everything fans want and more? Keep reading to find out..
Ever since it was seen at the Nuremburg Toy Fair in January, the ARRMA Kraton BLX Monster Truck has been creating a lot of buzz. The Kraton is not only ARRMA RC's first 4wd, but also their first 1/8th scale machine, hence the reason bashers are biting at the bit to hear how it performs.
ARRMA Kraton Review Gallery 1
Since receiving our review Kraton we've been bashing and thrashing it like the true bashers we are. What did we find out?
* Handling – The Kraton comes with soft sprung but heavily damped suspension, making it handle like a champ. It attacks a track like a race truck, yet it's big monster truck tires love chewing up loam and grass. We also found it soaks up big hits (via multiple roof jumps) like a beast.
ARRMA Kraton Review Gallery 2
* Power – Oh ya, it's got plenty on tap. We normally ran the Kraton on a pair of Reed Wolfpack 3S LiPo batteries wired in series for 6S, and it does not fail to impress with power. On 6S it is a beast right off the bottom, tears through the mid-range, and has tire exploding top end. When compared to the E-Revo, MT4 G3, and Savage Flux, it is right in the mix for power output. When run on 4S it is noticeably softer off the bottom and on top, but still has plenty of rip.
ARRMA Kraton Review Gallery 3
* Durability – We have yet to break a plastic part on the Kraton, but did manage to explode one of the rear tires with all its power (we ended up running Pro-Line Big Joe IIs). The pinion on our test unit came loose, but it was simple enough to pop it back on. We also noticed that the included Deans connectors looked to have been overheated when they were installed at the factory, making them a loose fit on our battery packs.
* The cage used to keep the body from crushing in worked like a charm. Even after lots of abuse the stock body has yet to be destroyed.
* The Kraton comes with perhaps the most powerful RTR steering servo we've ever seen, it truly has no problem throwing those big front tires around. To make sure all that power makes it to the wheels, an aluminum servo arm comes standard, a very nice touch for a RTR.
ARRMA Kraton Review Gallery 4
* We measured the top speed on the Kraton to be 38 mph (on 4S LiPo) and it got there in a hurry.
* Typical bashing moves like pulling wheelies and backflips are easy with the Kraton. Big power and big tires help it pull off those moves even with a center diff.
* While the Kraton might be called a monster truck, it comes with a center diff and a massive rear wing, items typically found on truggies. Speaking of the rear wing, all our reviewers liked how it was molded to match the body lines.
ARRMA Kraton Review Gallery 5
We found the ARRMA Kraton to be a gnarly bashing machine, easily capable of running with all the big hitters in its class. It should be hitting hobby shops in the next couple of weeks with a street price of $499, much lower than most of its competitors. To get complete details, check out the Kraton Page over on the official ARRMA website.

THE ARRMA Granite Mega Monster Truck Review
Being a two time champion of our coveted Bash Vehicle of the Year, the ARRMA Granite packs some serious street cred with the bashing crowd. For 2014 ARRMA announced a new more affordable line-up, the Mega Series, that was designed to give good performance at a reasonable price. To make the price drop happen on the Mega Series, certain goodies had to be taken away (like the aluminum chassis and hex hardware). Is the Mega Series Granite still a capable bash machine? Is it slower than the previous brushed Granite? Has it lost any mojo? Hit the "Read More" to find out…
THE Losi Mini 8IGHT-T Truggy From Horizon Hobby Review
In today's review we'll be taking a very up close and personal look at the Mini 8IGHT-T Truggy from Losi. The Mini 8IGHT-T comes in at 1/14 scale, bigger than most minis, but significantly smaller than a tenth scaled truck. It comes brushless powered and with the high zoot AVC that everyone is talking about. Can the Mini 8IGHT-T take the beating required to be a good bash vehicle? Is it worth its $279 price point?

Looking for some DATING SUPERPOWERS?
Speed sniffing, brain imagers might be just the ticket
When you're single and going on lots of dates, you start to wish you had some sort of dating superpower. Perhaps a Spidey sense to help you differentiate Ms. Right from Ms. Wrong. Or a charm spell to win over that dreamy person who's out of your league. Or -- for efficiency's sake -- the capacity to be on three dates at the same time.
If we extrapolate from current trends, we might imagine superpowered dating in the future will involve further advances in communication. All the cutting-edge dating tech these days is focused on using the Internet to throw people in touch with one another. There are online services such as OkCupid, which scour thousands of sortable profiles. There are apps such as Blendr, which alert you to the presence of available singles in your geographic vicinity. And there's Bang Your Friends, which turns your Facebook account into an underground sex club.
For the sake of this story, and because my editor suggested it, I tried out Bang Your Friends. The app showed me profile photos of all my female Facebook contacts -- including my sister, my mother and many moms holding up their toddlers for the camera. Then it asked me to click on each of the photos I was "Down to Bang." This made me wonder if perhaps at this point we've maxed out on the Internet as a dating aid.
The real breakthrough in future dating might not be about sifting through and encountering more prospects than we ever could meet IRL. It might be about more quickly and accurately determining which people are particularly good matches for us. That could be a job better suited to biotech.
Will McIntosh is the author of the sci-fi novel Love Minus Eighty, set 100 years into the future, in which attractive dead people are cryogenically preserved, partially reanimated, and allowed to date from beyond the grave. McIntosh has spent a lot of time contemplating the future of hooking up. "I think one exciting possibility is more use of brain imaging," he says. "Using an fMRI, we might see exactly what love looks like in a brain."
McIntosh envisions us examining our own brain activity to empirically determine whether an emotion is love or lust. Or -- using some discreet, futuristic device -- we might look into our date's brain to see if its patterns suggest feelings of affection, boredom or contempt. "People also lie so much, particularly in the early stages of meeting someone," says McIntosh. "With brain imaging we might be close to having a foolproof lie detector. I could see that coming in handy for speed dating."
Patricia Brennan, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, seems to think we could just ditch speed dating altogether and replace it with speed sniffing. "We pick up a lot of cues from pheromones," she says. She notes studies that show body odours can be excellent predictors of romantic compatibility.
"We can smell a good mate," says Brennan, an expert on duck genitalia. She explains the key lies in the composition of our immune system, specifically the cell-surface molecules known as the major histocompatibility complex. "We want someone whose MHC is very different from our own. That signals a different immune system, which will translate into having kids who have more genetic diversity and can fight off more diseases and parasites."
Right now, this sniff test all happens subconsciously -- and only after we're close enough to a person to inhale his or her musk. But it's possible to imagine a time when we could easily scan a roomful of people using a sensor that could identify which ones have an MHC complementary to our own. Those people are the ones we should have kids with. And they're the ones that we might expect will be most attracted to us once they get a whiff of our pheromones. So, theoretically, all we'd need to do is make a beeline for the most genetically compatible person, get within nostril range, and let nature do its work.
Or why not just integrate MHC into online dating? Along with your height, education, and age, you could post your own MHC readings. The dating-site algorithms could incorporate them into their searches for your perfect match.
I confess, I'd be tempted to peek at brain imaging if it meant I could know precisely how I feel toward someone, or how she feels toward me, without confusion and self-doubt clouding things up. I'd likewise pay very close attention to MHC if it meant a guarantee that I'd have healthy, hearty kids. Still, while technology and romance can without doubt be exciting partners (remember, this is the combo that brought the world sexting!) I wonder if new kinds of tech that take the guesswork out of love could also ruin a lot of the fun.

Nicky Henderson was out of luck with Finian's Rainbow in the feature race at Ascot but normal service was resumed as Oscar Whisky proved in a class of his own in the Coral Hurdle.
A faller at the last when right in contention in the race last year, the 8-15 favourite was always in command under Geraghty and cruised eight lengths clear of Raya Star.
"He loved the ground, and that was a very smart performance," said Henderson.
"We thought we would go to Cheltenham next month, then Ffos Las, possibly Fontwell, miss Cheltenham and go to Aintree but if it came up soft, you'd have to run him in the Champion Hurdle."

Do you wrap Xmas presents?

As the title suggests? Do you wrap in paper? Do you put in a sack? What do you do?
It's just such a huge waste and unecessary rubbish going into the ground..... The thought of minimising rubbish is appealing...
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:32 AM
I wrap the presents from us. Santa's go into the sack unwrapped. Last year I just asked my son if Santa wrapped his presents and he said no. Awesome I thought.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:33 AM
DD loves ripping apart the paper.
Not wrapping the trampoline though
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:34 AM
Presents from us get wrapped and put under the tree.
Presents from Santa go into their stockings unwrapped at the end of their beds.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:34 AM
Always wrap everything individually.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:36 AM
for DS i wrap everyone else i do bags - which i recycle by keeping ones i am given and use following year its easier and with all the paper from DS s presents fills the bin a fair bit last year (only child/granchild great grandchild got very spoilt last year )
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:36 AM
I was thinking of popping their presents in a Xmas box each.... The type you buy from crazy Clark's or similar. Maybe get some good sturdy packing boxes and the kids can decorate them for Xmas craft and then santas presents can go in the sacks.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:37 AM
I wrap.
I love seeing the kids tear it to shreds. I get the minimising waste thing but but but... it's Christmas!
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:40 AM

yes, i love wrapping the presents, and watching them open them. Thats half the fun of getting another suprise with each gift they open. We don't wrap big items though sometimes throw a blanket over them.

I always wrap every single present. I have wrapped everything from trampolines right down to a bag of choclate coins.

We wrap them here. (well actually I make DH wrap - because that's his only contribution. )
Kids are colour coded - so they get their presents in their colours (I colour code other items of theirs so they already know what colour is theirs. )
This way they have to wait for DH and I to be up before they see their presents, plus it stops them from sneaking out and swapping presents. Apparently one year one of my sisters swapped a present over with another sister because she didn't like what Santa had brought. My mum put her foot in it as she knew what each of us got, so she told my sister that the other one had got that present from Santa. Mum was then questioned on how she knew that, as we'd been up for a couple of hours before she got out of bed, so she wouldn't have known what Santa gave to us as she was still asleep.

I always wrap everything, half the fun to me as a child was seeing the present under the tree, wondering who it was for, then holding one, wondering what it might be and then ripping the paper off. I even wrapped DPs ping-pong table for his bday (the top of the box). He just lifted the paper off it and we saved it to reuse.
We have just moved and DP gave me my bday present on the weekend in a small box, inside a bigger box, in a bigger box and in a bigger box as he had forgotten paper

I am one of those wrappers. I love wrapping I love ribbon I love decorating the tree and matching the wrapping and adornments to it all.
Which is ind of nuts becasue i wouldn't strike anyone as the type til they see my tree and gifts.

They all get wrapped. The presents from Santa get wrapped in different paper.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 12:40 PM
We wrap most things
Everything under the tree is wrapped, my kids don't care who stuff is from so I just write names on the labels/gift tags and ignore the 'from' bit. That stops me forgetting that one of the kids has seen something I've bought and accidentally writing 'from santa' on it (all my kids still believe, even my 9.5yr old).
Their santa bags get filled with a mixture of small fun things, these get wrapped, and food/drink items (eg little packets of chips/tiny teddies, pop tops/mini cans of drink, sunny boys, etc), these don't get wrapped.
A few years ago DS1 & DD painted every page of a weekend newspaper, we then sent it to santa so he could use it to wrap their presents They thought it was awesome! and because we used water based paints the paper went into the compost bins at my parents place instead of in the bin.

We wrap, some things go in a bag but it would be very expensive to do that for them all.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 12:43 PM
I wrap everything, even the ones that go in the sack. I love wrapping, even awkward fiddly stuff.
Big items get a twirly ribbon on only.

As the title suggests? Do you wrap in paper? Do you put in a sack? What do you do?
It's just such a huge waste and unecessary rubbish going into the ground..... The thought of minimising rubbish is appealing...
There is certainly some waste in terms of the manufacture, but it all get's recycled in Australia now right so it's not actually 'going into the ground'.
Yes, we wrap. For the sake of the little ones. If there are large sized presents for adults they will just get a band of paper around them rather than being totally wrapped. And for a while we used old movie posters.....because we had a bunch from somewhere.
Presents from Santa appear all wrapped in the same wrapping usually with a santa or reighndeer related print, presents from mum and dad are wrapped in different wrapping.

My DS has one those art easels with the big rolls of paper, so instead of throwing out his multitude of artworks throughout the year I've been keeping some to wrap family presents in, the grandparents in particular love it!
I also try to recycle gift bags and make plain ones christmassy by adding some ribbon or little baubles.
Santa only brings a few little treats in a stocking here so those go straight in unwrapped, but all the other presents will be wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper

Alcester Has Water Back
by Breanna Fuss, Reporter
January 15, 2013 5:33 PM
Things were getting back to normal in Alcester Tuesday night, after five days of tight water restrictions. The city's main water main broke over the weekend, and residents were only able to use water from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m.
But this afternoon crews fixed the break, and city officials said residents can begin using water.
Earlier Tuesday, the residents of Alcester, the small town treasure, seemed to be treasuring what water they had.
"It's an inconvenience but we are getting by," said Bob Nyreen, owner of Hillbilly's in Alcester.
Nyreen said no water during the day made people want to stay home and not go to their local watering hole, making business a little slower than usual.
"It defiantly helps, you don't have bathrooms being used constantly," laughed Nyreen.
But Nyreen said once the water did come back on just in time for the nightly rush, it tended to be a little dirty.
"We have to run this back here to get it flushed out clean, then beyond this point it will come out clean to go to the ice machines and elsewhere," Nyreen said.
He said then it was back to business as usual until 8:30 a.m. when the water was turned back off.
Steve Johannsen, chair of Alcester's City Council said shutting off water during the day wasn't an inconvenience he wanted residents to deal with. But he said city officials didn't have much of a choice.
"In order to fix it, you can't have water running through it," said Steve Johannsen.
And while crews, worked hard for yet another day, Nyreen, knowing there wasn't much he could do, made light of the situation.
"So short of melting snow and getting water, we just go down to the grocery store and buy it," said Nyreen.
City officials said for the next 48 hours residents need to boil all water before they use it for cooking or drinking.

South Stream Bulgaria Halts Commissioning Activities
South Stream Bulgaria has announced it will suspended all public procurement activities and will not sign contracts related to the South Stream gas pipeline.
In a message to the media quoted by the website Dnevnik.bg, the Bulgarian-Russian joint venture has cited a recommendation from the European Commission to be behind the move.
South Stream Bulgaria's decision was followed by a statement on the website of the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH), the company which has the Bulgarian 50-percent stake of the leg.
Earlier on Monday it was revealed that the joint venture had decided to raise its capital 25 times, or to BGN 397.6 M, in accordance with a decision taken by former Economy Minister Dragomir Stoynev.
The increase was entered into Bulgaria's Commercial Register on August 18 in violation of an order Stoynev's interim Successor, Vasil Shtonov, issued a week earlier to freeze all activities relating to the implementation of the project until the project was brought in compliance with EU regulations.
In June the EU Commission started an infringement procedure against Bulgaria over a number of "irregularities" in the pipeline's Bulgarian section.
Former Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski subsequently heeded calls from Brussels to freeze the project until discrepancies have been smoothed out.
However, reports of ongoing activities related to the construction have cast suspicions about whether the project has effectively come to a halt.

PQ's 'secularism' masks European-style intolerance
No multiculturalism for Quebec but rather 'interculturalism,' with its implicit supremacy of not only the French language but also French culture.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Parti Québécois' descent into cultural warfare bears some resemblance to the contemporary French assault on minorities.
After the first hijab debate surfaced there in 1989, sociologist Pierre Bourdieu said this of those fretting over a piece of cloth: "Their explicit question, 'Should Islamic voile be accepted at school?' hides their implicit question, 'Should immigrants of North African origin be accepted in France?'"
The PQ, too, has an implicit agenda — but not about immigration. The separatists have come to accept that Quebec's economic well-being depends on a steady inflow of immigrants, ideally French-speaking.
But immigrants must assimilate. So must all minorities, regardless of how many generations they've been here. No multiculturalism for Quebec but rather "interculturalism," with its implicit supremacy of not only the French language but also French culture.
Minorities must follow majority mores — "conform to our way of life," in popular parlance. But that was shot down by the 2008 commission on reasonable accommodation: "The desire for sameness is authoritarian."
However, the idea never did die and has been revived in different forms, not just by the Parti Québécois but also the governing Liberals.
Jean Charest gave in to the popular clamour for banning the niqab — he passed legislation withholding all government services, including essential health care, from those not showing their face.
In recent days, he wouldn't even condemn the mayor of Saguenay who derided a PQ candidate of Algerian origin, Djemila Benhabib, as someone whose name he couldn't pronounce.
Charest has followed Nicolas Sarkozy, who pandered to majority prejudices fanned by the right wing. That did not help the French president win a second term. We shall see what happens to Charest on Sept. 4.
Demagoguery knows no ideological bounds — it can come from the right or the left. But it does come wrapped in the tinsel of principle — for example, "saving secularism," invoked not only by the Islamophobic far right in Europe and such Canadian groups as the Christian Heritage Party, the Jewish Defence League and Hindu Advocacy, but also by the leftist Parti Québécois and liberal feminists prone to issuing fascist diktats to orthodox Jewish and Muslim women.
Demagoguery knows no consistency, either.
In promoting her Charter of Secularism, PQ Leader Pauline Marois proposes to ban civil servants from wearing the hijab, the kippa and the turban but not the crucifix. Nor does she want to remove the crucifix from the National Assembly or ban Christmas trees, even as she espouses "the neutrality of the state."
Her proposal would mean that no turban-wearing Sikh, kippa-wearing Jew or a hijab-wearing Muslim could be hired by the civil service or publicly funded institutions.
Also, "imagine the absurdity of saying that we have the best surgeon in Quebec, but he can't operate because he's not permitted to wear his kippa, turban or scarf," as Julius Grey, Quebec constitutional expert, told the Canadian Press.
While Marois is advocating "the fundamental value of equality between men and women," we can be reasonably certain that she won't take on the Catholic Church for keeping women confined to the pews and not letting them ascend to the altar as priests.
This is "the inconsistency of narcissism, of people who take others to task while making an exception for themselves," in the words of American philosopher Martha Nussbaum — a case of "seeing the mote in your brother's eye while failing to appreciate the large plank that's in your eye."
She makes that observation in her new book, The New Religious Intolerance, noting that in parts of Germany, Holland, Spain and Belgium, the hijab may not be worn by public school teachers even though nuns and priests can teach in full habit.
Marois' proposal copies French rules that forbid "ostentatious" religious symbols, such as the yarmulke, the hijab and the turban, but not small crosses. This places "an unequal burden," as Nussbaum notes; the first three items are religiously obligatory for the observant while the cross is not.
Marois knows that her proposals would be unconstitutional. But she is prepared to invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Charter of Rights — that allows overriding Charter rights for up to five years. This offers yet another irony — she hopes to rely on an instrument that she and her PQ cohorts have consistently rejected.
By all means, keep the cross in the National Assembly. It is part of Quebec's heritage. Keep the Christmas trees, indeed celebrate Christmas. But stop sacrificing minority rights at the altar of majority insecurities. Doing so only erodes the foundations of our liberal, secular democracy in which all citizens must be equal.

California Gourmet Vegan Chocolate Chips Are Here!

365 Vegan Smoothies Book Review
Kudos to Kathy Patalsky for her beautiful new book, 365 Vegan Smoothies. I suspect the 365 allusion is fully intentional, and expresses you would do well with a smoothie a day, a different smoothie every day of the year. How exciting is that? Not for nothing does Kathy run a blog...

Bob Uecker to return on Friday
Jul 21, 2010, 8:59 AM EST
Great news from Milwaukee: Bob Uecker is going to be back in the booth for this Friday's Brewers-Nationals game.
You'll recall that Uecker underwent heart surgery back in April. He was supposed to miss 12 weeks, so he's right on schedule and — quite apparently — is recovering nicely.
Uecker is one of the best folks, so if you're able, I highly recommend you tune in on Friday to welcome him back.

Lorde Walks Off the Stage in Perth After Falling Sick [VIDEO]

By Anne Lu | July 7, 2014 2:00 PM EST
Lorde walked off the stage of her own concert in Perth on Saturday.
The Kiwi Grammy winner was feeling ill not even half an hour through her show. She apologised to her fans and got off the stage, only to return five minutes later.

She was singing her track "Buzzcut Season" and dancing a bit of her signature moves when she suddenly addressed her fans.
"I'm just not feeling very well. I'm really sorry. Can you just please give me one second?" Lorde said fans before walking to the backstage. "I'm so sorry about this."
She returned after a few minutes to continue her show.
"I must have eaten something weird," she explained to the crowd at the Challenge Stadium, hinting that she threw up backstage. "I've never had to do that. I love you and I'm so grateful to be here."
The show continued without a hitch after the short break, though she was seen wrapping a towel around her neck at one point.
She was still able to deliver a near-perfect performance, though it was apparent that she was less animated than before the break.
After her show, Lorde thanked the crowd for their understanding.
She wrote on Twitter:
thankyou for your kindness and your sensitivity last night, perth. i'll never forget it and i hope to see you again soon. lots of love. xox
— Lorde (@lordemusic) July 6, 2014
Her fans were supportive, though, expressing their concern on social media.
@lordemusic YOU WERE INCREDIBLE LAST NIGHT ELLA. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON

Greg Kalkwarf - Forty under 40 winner
Send this to a friend
- Scott Bassett
Greg Kalkwarf
Title: Regional marketing leader
Company: BKD LLP
Age: 38
Key civic affiliations: Underwearness, Do at the Zoo
Greg Kalkwarf gives away underwear.
As the board president of Underwearness, he's been instrumental in the local nonprofit's mission to donate underwear to children in need.
The organization has given away more than 5,000 pairs of underwear to organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Tennyson Center for Children.
It's working with the Salvation Army to raise 3,000 pair of new underwear for child refugees from Haiti, Kalkwarf said.
Children are a huge inspiration in his life; he has a 5-month-old son, Bryce, and a teaching degree.
"Kids are kids," Kalwarf said. "They rely on adults to take care of themselves. And to see kids, as no fault of their own, [who] don't have the things that perhaps you and I grew up with — that makes me want to work hard to do stuff like that."
Kalkwarf sought donations running the Pikes Peak Marathon for two consecutive years. He raised a total of $10,000 in finishing both runs, and gave the money to Make-A-Wish Foundation and Underwearness.
Kalkwarf, in Colorado for four years, is the marketing leader of accounting firm BKD's Colorado office. He's also a founding member of Colorado Chapter of the Association for Accounting Marketing.
But no matter what Kalkwarf does, no matter how many organizations he's involved in, it all comes back to his son and helping indigent children.
"As I look at all these things in general, it is funny how not just children, but then my child in particular, becomes my No. 1 priority," he said.

To the ire of anti-abortion supporters, a temporary restraining order has been extended on an Oklahoma law requiring doctors to report the personal information of women seeking abortions to a Web site.
A new Oklahoma law, effective Nov. 1, will require women seeking abortions to reveal personal information such as marital status, number of children and race—all of which will be posted online. Critics say that the intent is intimidation.

Limiting the Fed - Doing Away With the Dual Mandate
Econintersect: Charles I. Plosser, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia believes the dual mandate (inflation and employment) has lead to expansionary objectives for monetary policy which are risky.
I have concluded that it would be appropriate to redefine the Fed's monetary policy goals to focus solely, or at least primarily, on price stability. I base this on two facts: Monetary policy has very limited ability to influence real variables, such as employment. And, in a regime with fiat currency, only the central bank can ensure price stability. Indeed, it is the one goal that the central bank can achieve over the longer run.

Japan: GDP Growth Slumps
Econintersect: Japan's economy slumped in the third quarter but still managed to beat expectations. GDP advanced by 0.5% vs. consensus expectations of 0.4%. The growth was a significant slowdown from the 0.9% increase registered in the second quarter. This was the fourth consecutive quarter of growth, the longest sequence since 2010. The third quarter number was dragged down by low capital expenditure growth (0.2%) and by private consumption (0.1%). All the reports are for quarter-to-quarter growth. Year-over-year GDP was up by 1.9%.
Smaller Counties Did Not Have A Housing Crisis
Econintersect: A new housing release shows that median home values in many small counties across the nation held steady after the most recent recession, while values in large counties declined. In 66.9 percent of the 1,038 smaller counties (with populations between 20,000 and 65,000) the median home value in the post-recession period of 2010-2012 was not statistically different from the recession period of 2007-2009. Similarly, the median home values in 37 of the 50 smallest counties of this size were not statistically different from the recession period.

Texas Governor Rick Perry, a possible Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 race, has been fingerprinted and had his mug shot taken by judicial authorities after being indicted last week on two felony charges of abusing power.
''The actions that I took were lawful. They were legal and they were proper. This indictment is fundamentally a political act that seeks to achieve at the courthouse what could not be achieved at the ballot box,'' Perry said Tuesday (local time) after finishing the 15-minute processing at the Travis County criminal justice center, a short walk away from the governor's mansion.
Supporters turned out to cheer his words while his opponents relished seeing him face a criminal court.
The indictment has cast a shadow over a presidential run for Perry, who has ranked near the bottom of possible Republican candidates. Experts predict that legal wrangling in the case is likely to stretch into the 2016 election cycle.
Perry was indicted on Friday by a grand jury in Travis County, a Democratic stronghold in the heavily Republican state, over his veto of funding for a state ethics watchdog that has investigated prominent Texas Republicans.
Perry, the longest-serving governor in the state's history, became the target of an ethics probe last year after he vetoed US$7.5 million (NZ$8.8m) in funding for the state public integrity unit run from the Travis County district attorney's office.
The veto was widely viewed as intended to force the resignation of county District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, after she had pleaded guilty to drunken driving but remained in office.
Democrats have said Perry may have been looking to put an ally in charge of the unit, extending what they say is cronyism in his administration.
The more serious of the two felony charges carries a prison sentence of five to 99 years.
''This may be a sideshow to Rick Perry but no amount of spin can cover up two felony charges,'' Democratic National Committee spokesman Michael Czin said.
Perry could try to rally support in Republican primaries by portraying himself as a conservative victim of a partisan legal attack launched by Democrats, analysts have said. But the indictment could undermine backing from major donors and party heavyweights who see the legal case as hurting his general election chances.
After flaming out in a gaffe-strewn campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, Perry has been attempting a political comeback that gained him national attention for accusing President Barack Obama of doing too little to secure the US-Mexico border.
He will step down as governor when his term ends early next year.
