With summer has come the return of the Wine for the Rest of Us Friday Night Blind tastings, and they continue to underscore our contention that price has very little correlation to wine enjoyment. That said, our first of the season found the pricier red and white wines edging their affordable counterparts as favorites of the tasting panel, if only by the slightest fraction of a star.
Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir Carneros 2012, which costs $25 a bottle ($24.99 at Rodman's to be exact) beat out Mandolin Pinot Noir Monterey 2012, which costs half as much, yet by the paper-thin margin of just 3/100 of a star. The $25 Mondavi earned an average rating of 2.81 stars from our tasting panel of casual wine drinkers, compared to Mondolin's 2.78-star average. Both earned a solid score on the Wine for the Rest of Us five-star scale:
* Yuk, where's the spit bucket?
** Drinkable, but I don't need another taste, thanks. …
*** I like this, please fill my glass.
**** I love it; I'd buy a bottle if it's less than $20.
***** This one's a ringer; what's this $35 bottle doing at this two-bit tasting?
But does an extra 0.03 of a star really merit twice the price?
As if last week's post touting a bargain in Montgomery County hit a nerve, within days Rodman's in DC put that Spanish red (Los Dos) on sale for 50 cents a bottle less, robbing County liquor stores to the north—including one less than half a mile up Wisconsin Ave.—of best-price honors.
Montgomery County rarely enjoys that distinction and is never going to rival DC's Rodman's or Calvert Woodley for everyday competitive prices. Nor will its weekly or monthly specials challenge the three- and four-week sales Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in the District or the Doorbusters at Arrowine and Chain Bridge Cellars in Virginia. And no area wine merchant can touch Total Wine's combination of vast selection, competitive pricing and enticing sales.
But if recent sale prices in MoCo are any indication, the County is trying give wine bargain hunters some viable alternatives to trekking across the Potomac or Western Ave. every time they want to stock up on wine.
When our favorite blogger, The Wine Curmudgeon, praised an $8 Spanish red blend as perfect for kicking off grilling season, he raised doubts about its availability, so we didn't give it a second thought. But we did when Washington Post columnist Dave McIntyre recommended the same wine in Wednesday's paper under the heading "5 patio wines to try."
Los Dos from Bodegas Aragonesas is a blend from Spain's Campo de Borja district, which produces an array of good, inexpensive wines made from garnacha, the Spanish name for the grape called grenache in France, and widely planted in the southern Rhone Valley. (Think Bodegas Borsao.) Like many Rhone blends, Los Dos includes a 15 percent splash of syrah, which according to McIntrye is "to tame the juiciness and give the wine minerality and heft."
"Kirsch and licorice flavors mingle with smoke and coffee notes in this juicy red, which features moderate tannins and balanced acidity," writes Wine Spectator's Thomas Matthews in the June 15, 2014 issue (thanks to the magic of online publishing). "Fresh and clean," he calls the 2012 vintage designated as one of the magazine's Best Values.
It costs a little more to be a wine drinker in Montgomery County. We don't enjoy the competitive prices and wide selection available in the District or Virginia. Even neighboring Prince George's County has one Total Wine super store, which makes stocking up on good, inexpensive wine easier for our Maryland neighbors to the east.
We won't belabor the evils of the state-mandated three-tier distribution system that keeps prices high and limits selection in Maryland—exacerbated in Montgomery County, where the County government is the wholesaler through which all wine, beer and spirits must pass. Suffice it to say that MoCo residents have to hunt down the occasional local bargain like pigs rooting for truffles. Otherwise, we make a periodic pilgrimage over the District line to Rodman's or Calvert Woodley or across the Potomac into Virginia if we want to pay competitive prices for our favorite wines.
We buried the lead in our post two weeks ago on South African wines. Sure, we mentioned the crowd favorite—the only non-South African wine in our blind tasting—but not until the 4th paragraph, and we didn't give tasting notes until the bottom half of the piece.
Yet the HandCraft Cabernet Sauvignon California 2011—supplied as a winery sample—merits its own column. In part because its average score of 3.31 stars on the Wine for the Rest of Us five-star scale was among the highest earned in our blind tasting to date. But more importantly, it's part of an entire line of good, inexpensive, "artisan" wines that are gaining wider distribution in the Washington area; and they are on sale in Montgomery County for the rest of the year.
It's one of the most consistently pleasing $10 wines you can find ($9.98 at Finewine.com). At $8 a bottle (Total Wine, Calvert Woodley, Rodman's DC, MacArthur Beverages, Montgomery County Liquor stores) it's an awesome bargain to buy by the case. At less than $7 a bottle?! ...
Last year influential critic Robert Parker called Borsao Garnacha "possibly the single greatest dry red wine value in the world." (After we named it one of our Top 5 Spanish Red Values.) The similar Las Rocas Garnacha was an $8 wine when Parker first raved about the 2001 vintage, and it now averages $10 to $13 a bottle locally.) Yet now that the 2012 Borsao Garnacha has begun to hit local wine shops, you can buy it for as little as $6.75 a bottle by the case this weekend at Chain Bridge Cellars in McLean.
If there's a single takeaway from the blind tastings we conducted through the summer and fall, it's that today there's an abundance of enjoyable wine at all price points, but particularly in the $8- to $12-a-bottle range that is the sweet spot for this website.
We're woefully behind in reporting the results of those tastings (due to numerous day-job commitments—for which we are seasonably thankful—that kept the wine writing on the back burner for weeks). So since we're not reporting in real time, there's no reason we can't skip ahead to the 10th in our series of tastings, for no other reason than to explore a winemaking region that produces some great values but has been grossly under-represented here. (We promise to pick up with tastings six through nine shortly.)
Before this website took a nearly two month hiatus (sorry about that), we were in the midst of a series of Wine for the Rest of Us (WRU) blind tastings that offered further evidence--as if we needed more—that enjoyment of wine bears almost no correlation to price. And the fifth in the series of double blind tastings was no exception.
For whites, a $9 Italian pinot grigio edged out a high-scoring Washington state pinot gris (same grape) that averages $16 a bottle in good vintages. And in the blind comparison of red blends, yet another Concho Y Toro Casillero del Diablo wine that sells for less than $10 a bottle and a $12 Washington state blend crushed a well-regarded Bordeaux that scored 91 points from at least one influential wine critic.
We're determined to publish our "Top 5 value sauvignon blancs" before the official end of summer in September, but this Top 5 list poses particular challenges. There are several distinct styles of this popular summer sipper, and representing each of them in a list of just five wines requires some serious juggling.
The intense and bracing sauvignon blancs from New Zealand's Marlborough region will undoubtedly top the list, since the grassy, citrusy wines have grown immensely popular over the past decade or so and are often considered the world's best. But a nod should also go to the subtle minerality of sauvignon blanc from the grape's native France, particularly the Loire Valley. While some room on the list must be made for sauvignon blanc from the Americas, floral-scented wines that typically express a middle ground between the vibrant intensity of New Zealand and the chalky complexity of French sauvignon blanc.
If crisp, citrusy sauvignon blanc is your white wine of choice for summer sipping, run, don't walk to Calvert Woodley for this week's installment of its ongoing 35th Anniversary Sale.
We try to avoid plugging a specific sale at a single store, which would likely be inconvenient for the vast majority of readers throughout the area. But these ridiculous prices on a pair of favorites – perfect for weathering the sweltering heat predicted we're suffering this week – are just too good to pass up.
Just last month in "Tale of the tasting: a pair of $7 white wines shine," the clear winner in our blind tasting of sauvignon blancs from four different countries was the New Harbor Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2011, which we bought on sale at Rodman's on Wisconsin Ave., NW for just $6.99. It was an awesome bargain at that price, since it averages $13 a bottle nationally, and if you live or work near Friendship Heights, it's still on sale at Rodman's. (Actually, it's still on sale at Rodman's even if you don't live or work near Friendship Heights.) But Calvert Woodley's sale price of $5.95 a bottle is ridonkulous at less than half the national average price.

"Las Aparicio" recap: Episodes 14-17
It's time for another Las Aparicio recap! This time we'll cover the happenings from episode 14 through 17.
Lady Rafaela is really not a big fan of men. Particularly men that wander into her daughters' lives. She hates Armando (with good reason). She hates Claudio (also with good reason). And she hates Leonardo (and while no one else knows it, we know it's with good reason). The lady can smell a rat from really far away, even if she can't prove it. Doesn't stop her from trying to get close, though. Which is why her latest plan of action involves going into business with Leonardo (Alma's boyfriend).
Alma, oh Alma. Your life is so complicated. It's not enough that the ghost of your ex-husband follows you everywhere and that your daughter is the long lost offspring of Jerry Falwell and Dr. Laura, but your boyfriend is totally lying to you and has a private investigator after you and your family and now your Saintly and Virginal Daughter is dating one of your male escorts from that Top Secret business of yours. Drrrama.
I'm kind of glad I'm not you. But you're still awesome because you spend all that time between ghost sightings and running a male prostitution ring, openly empowering women and making them feel good about themselves.
Mercedes, Lawyer Extraordinaire, grew closer to Claudio (her partner at the law firm), only to have him confess that he'd lied about the whole fraud fiasco. You know, the one that cost her her house and dragged her ex-husband's name through the mud, and left her assets frozen, etc. As it turns out, some other partner committed the fraud and ran off with the money to some remote island and it was just easier to blame the dead guy. Mercedes was not happy.
In light of this revelation, she quits the law firm but takes some of her clients. Claudio, who's grown fond of Mercedes and her hot body, promises to make things better again. He's going to clear Cheating Husband's name, and get Mercedes her house back, and everyone is going to live happily ever after.
Rafaela, who's present for Claudio's attempts at getting Mercedes to forgive and forget, tells him, "Bitch, you better keep that promise or I'll cut you." Only with different words and more sinister glaring.
Julia/Mariana (and Armando)
I'm confident they're going to drag this storyline out until the end of time but it's so delicious it's got me at the edge of my seat.
When last we left these two ladies (and that guy) Mariana had admitted to herself and her girlfriend that she was in love with Julia. Lovely, forbidden Julia. Julia, for her part, was busy dealing with Armando's sex addiction and trying not to lose her mind in the process.
In order to deal with her feelings, Mariana buries herself in a video project, revealing her feelings to the camera and talking about unrequited love, while simultaneously ignoring Julia's phone calls.
Julia and Armando spend their time fighting and going to meetings and abstaining from sex. Although, Armando still puts in some secret alone time.
Mariana and Julia then start a film project together about infidelity and interview Alma and Mercedes on camera. Alma's feelings about infidelity and sex lead Julia to wonder if Armando ever slept with Alma and she grows very paranoid about this until she eventually goes to talk to Alma. Alma is offended that Julia would think that she'd ever sleep with her sister's boyfriend.
Let's recall that during Armando's Long List of Women He Slept With, Julia stops him before he confesses the last one. One that seems to be important. Eek.
Anyway, Julia apologizes for having doubted Alma and goes home and gets angry at Armando for making her doubt her own sister.

text: For Agreeing with Palin, Will Howard Dean Win Politifact's 'Lie of the Year' Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 29 Jul 2013 post a comment In December of 2009, Politifact, a left-wing website that poses as an objective fact checker, awarded former Alaska governor Sarah Palin its "Lie of the Year." Politifact claimed that Palin's use of the term "death panel" to describe the rationing that will come with ObamaCare was the biggest whopper of '09: Of all the falsehoods and distortions in the political discourse this year, one stood out from the rest. "Death panels." … [Palin's] assertion — that the government would set up boards to determine whether seniors and the disabled were worthy of care — spread through newscasts, talk shows, blogs and town hall meetings. Opponents of health care legislation said it revealed the real goals of the Democratic proposals. Advocates for health reform said it showed the depths to which their opponents would sink. Still others scratched their heads and said, "Death panels? Really?" Yes, really. And Democrat Howard Dean agrees. In a Monday Wall Street Journal op-ed, Dean writes: One major problem [with ObamaCare] is the so-called Independent Payment Advisory Board. The IPAB is essentially a health-care rationing body. By setting doctor reimbursement rates for Medicare and determining which procedures and drugs will be covered and at what price, the IPAB will be able to stop certain treatments its members do not favor by simply setting rates to levels where no doctor or hospital will perform them. Here is what Palin wrote four years ago: The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. If what Dean fears comes true, specifically that "IPAB will be able to stop certain treatments its members do not favor by simply setting rates to levels where no doctor or hospital will perform them," it takes no leap of logic or faith to fear which expensive and/or experimental procedures will not be covered. Of course that kind of thinking is most likely to hurt those seen as the least desirable by bureaucrats -- those unable to "contribute": the elderly, disabled, and sick. (Palin forgot one group: the unborn.) IPAB is what Palin directly referred to in her "death panel" post. And for spelling out the truth about the obvious human consequence of a rationing problem both she and Howard Dean agree is very real, she was awarded Politifact's "Lie of the Year." What is important to remember, though, is that Palin was falsely smeared with PolitiFact's "award" in December of 2009. At the time, ObamaCare was still four months from being signed into law and still not a sure thing to make it that far. But in order to help Obama win passage of his signature legislation, the media as a whole not only ignored the many troublesome parts of the bill (like 15 bureaucrats given the power to ration America's health care -- IPAB), but launched an industry-wide campaign to falsely smear ObamaCare opponents as liars and racists. Only now, after ObamaCare has been signed into law, are critics being heard in the media as they are proven right about everything from death panels, rationing, the impact on the deficit, the devastating effect on job creation, and the assault on our religious freedoms. Apparently, we are all racists and liars now -- including the unions and clergy who supported ObamaCare, and Democrat Senators who helped to write it. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

City Employee Tobacco Ban Shot Down in Florida
Andrew Nagy
Posted: April 23, 2010
Brooksville City Council members recently rejected a comprehensive tobacco ban proposal that, among other provisions, would have required all city employees to quit using tobacco or risk the possibility of losing their job.
The Tobacco Free Workplace Policy also sought to deny employment to any applicants who admitted to using tobacco. In addition, the policy prohibited use of tobacco in and on city-owned or leased premises, including inside personal vehicles of employees and non-employee visitors parked on the premises.
"I want a smoke-free environment, but not a dictatorship," said Vice Mayor Richard Lewis at Monday's City Council meeting, according to an article in the St. Petersburg Times.
Mayor Lara Bradburn backed the policy change, according to the article, because it would decrease the city's health care costs while promoting healthy living choices.
"That's being a fiscally responsible employer," Bradburn said at the meeting.
The rejected policy change has been set aside until a later date.

text: Hobby Drones Stir Controversy with LAPD Print article Send a Tip by Adelle Nazarian 3 Aug 2014 post a comment Video footage of the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood parking lot filmed by a drone hobbyist, which was then posted to YouTube, prompted the LAPD on Friday to explore possible legal action prohibiting civilians from flying camera-wielding drones over their parking lots. The video was reportedly shot by Daniel Saulmon, 42, according to the Los Angeles Times. "What concerns us is that they are filming over private property and it's gated--you're looking at the layout of the police station, how we operate, personnel license plates," said police Lt. Michael Ling to the Times. He continued, "It's kind of like if it was your house, if they're flying over your backyard you'd start asking questions about it." Saulmon didn't seem to agree. "They bring up the expectation of privacy, I"m not buying it. Suddenly they're talking about how I'm trespassing on a public sidewalk. They do not have an expectation of privacy... if you want privacy, build a roof," he told the Times. Despite Federal Aviation Administration regulations surrounding the use of drones by private businesses and law enforcement, there aren't any clear-cut rules about their use by the casual hobbyist, notes the Times. The police claim that drone use is considered illegal if it interferes with aviation activity or if it is used to spy on neighbors, the Times writes. Photo: File

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are slightly lower Wednesday as the Dow Jones industrial average continues to hover near the 11,000 level for the third straight day.
European markets dipped on mounting concerns about Greece's ongoing debt problems, while Asian markets mostly rose as expectations for a global economic recovery grew.
The U.S. market's momentum has slowed in recent days with little economic data to drive trading. No major reports are due out Wednesday, but investors will keep a close watch on the Treasury's auction of 10-year notes later in the day.
The market paused Tuesday, with the Dow remaining below the psychological barrier of 11,000. The Dow hasn't hit that level in 18 months. It came within 12 points of 11,000 before retreating and ending trading nearly 4 points lower Tuesday at about 10,970.
After the Dow jumped about 50 points in the first hour of trading on Monday on upbeat economic reports, it has settled into a 45-point range.
Instead of the broad-market moves that have been standard in recent months, individual shares have been rising or falling on company-specific reports. That trend appears to be holding for at least one more day with futures indicating a slightly lower opening.
Ahead of the opening bell, Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 11, or 0.1 percent, to 10,902. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures fell 2.50, or 0.2 percent, to 1,183.30, while Nasdaq 100 index futures dropped 2.50, or 0.1 percent, to 1,976.25.
The government is auctioning $21 billion in 10-year notes Wednesday. The 10-year note is used as a benchmark for many consumer loans. Bond yields have been rising in recent weeks, which has pushed interest rates higher.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.95 percent from 3.96 percent late Tuesday. On Monday, its yield climbed above 4 percent for only the second time since October 2008.
Rising rates have yet to have much effect on stocks. But if rates rise too fast, it could slow the economic recovery, which would put a damper on stocks.
Stocks have been on a near relentless climb for 13 months. The past two months' gains have come mostly from steady, more modest moves, and not the triple-digit gains that were common early in the market's recovery. Recent momentum is due primarily to a string of economic reports showing the economy is improving, albeit slowly.
The Dow hit its highest level of the day Tuesday after the Federal Reserve's interest rate-setting committee released the minutes from its March meeting. Investors welcomed the comments that showed the Fed is upbeat about economic growth, though there were few surprises in the notes to propel stocks higher.
The dollar rose early Wednesday against other major currencies, while gold and oil dipped.
European markets fell slightly. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1 percent, Germany's DAX index fell less than 0.1 percent, and France's CAC-40 dropped 0.2 percent.
Greek debt worries have been one of the few reasons stocks have retreated in recent months because investors, at times, have been worried that debt problems in Greece and other European countries would upend a global economic recovery.
Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.1 percent. Japan's central bank said it would hold its key interest rate steady, and it sees a recovery taking hold. Asian shares also rose after the World Bank boosted its growth forecast for developing economies in East Asia.

Eastbourne Business Awards
The Federation of Small Businesses is this year's headline sponsor. Darran Hathaway, the regional Chairman said: "We are extremely proud to be the headline sponsors this year. The Federation is celebrating its 40th anniversary and what better way is there to celebrate than headlining one of the most prestigious Business Awards in East Sussex."
The purpose of the Eastbourne Business Awards is to offer formal recognition of business excellence, providing a much needed boost to the business community of the town. Eastbourne is full of forward thinking businesses and the Eastbourne Business Awards offer the perfect environment in which to celebrate their achievements.
All kinds of businesses enter for these awards and many different kinds of achievement are celebrated. Success may be due to the combined efforts of a management team and staff, working together to offer exceptional customer service, competitive pricing and outstanding attention to detail. Alternatively some businesses owe their success to the efforts or vision of just one person and these awards offer the opportunity to highlight their achievement. For those businesses which acknowledge the importance and value of recognition, the Eastbourne Business Awards are a must!
The 2014 Awards categories include the Medium Business of the Year Award for companies with 10 to 50 employees and Large Business of the Year Award for companies with 50 plus employees, offering an even greater opportunity for businesses of all sizes and styles and the opportunity to showcase their achievements over the past year. In total there are 15 categories of awards.
It is very important for all who wish to enter to be aware of the fact that in 2012 new rules were set in motion which meant that sponsors of the awards were no longer allowed to enter their companies for an award - a decision that has been hugely popular and these rules are to apply again for the 2014 Eastbourne Business Awards.
The awards ceremony will take place at the Grand Hotel on the 21st November, following a delicious three course banquet lunch. An acknowledged highlight in the business calendar, this year's event will once again have two hosts and they are Beverly Thompson (formerly of BBC South) now with Southern Water and Ian Palmer of BBC South. Click here for ticket info.
ENTRY IS SIMPLE: You can enter yourself or your company or make third party nominations for colleagues or other businesses whom you feel deserve recognition.
Click here for information on categories and eligibility, click here for entry/third party nomination forms, or phone Faiza Shafeek on 01323 414493 or via email at email@example.com. You can send entries by email or by post.
Closing date: FOR POSTAL ENTRIES 3rd NOVEMBER/ FOR EMAIL ENTRIES BY NOON 4th NOVEMBER 2014. Click here for more information.

Republicans in the Michigan Legislature are attempting to overturn a decision to extend state-paid health insurance coverage to same-sex partners or other adults living with some state employees.
The Senate's Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing Committee approved a resolution Wednesday that would reject the domestic partner benefits awarded in a decision earlier this year by the Michigan Civil Service Commission. The measure now goes to the Senate floor.
It would take a two-thirds vote of the Senate and the House to overturn the commission ruling.
The benefits are scheduled to begin Oct. 1 for some state employees including those represented by the United Auto Workers and the Service Employees International Union.
Opponents of extending the benefits say the state can't afford them.

SEAL BEACH, Calif. Los Angeles-area ports, which already have the reputation of being among the most expensive U.S. arrival points for imported steel, are due to get a lot more costly, according to local shipping industry executives.
New environmental, security and safety regulations planned for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif., represent a heavy burden that threatens to make these ports less competitive, local firms serving the ports said at an Association of Women in the Metals Industries (AWMI) meeting late last week.
"You are seeing costs go up exponentially," according to Wray Bartling, terminal and procurement manager at Wilmington, Calif.-based Pasha Stevedoring & Terminals LP, whose terminals are among the largest handlers of break-bulk steel to the West Coast.
If all the regulations now being enacted for the local ports take effect, Pashas costs over the next five years could go up by 15 percent, not including increased labor costs, Bartling said. This includes requirements for yard trucks, new fork lifts and new engines for gantry cranes that cost $2 million to $3 million apiece.
Its already comparatively expensive to bring steel into local ports, sources have said. A manufacturer in the AWMI audience with facilities in both California and Texas said he was recently "stunned" to learn from a trader that the Asian steel plate he has been bringing into Los Angeles could also be shipped to Houston for $20 per ton less.
Tony Firth, general manager at Rancho Dominguez, Calif.-based Ancon Transportation, which hauls steel and other materials from both ports, said air-quality regulations are forcing companies like his own and Pasha to replace equipment "thats well within its operating life."
These costs include fitting fork lifts with particulate filters that carry price tags of about $20,000 or even more with new motors, often opting for the purchase of new fork lifts altogether. These are seen as huge investments in a business where it typically costs $175,000 for a forklift that is used to load and unload metal products from a ship, he said.
One of the most costly regulations coming into play is a "cold ironing" requirement mandating that by 2014 half of the vessels in port must plug into power supplied by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power rather than the low-sulfur diesel generators now employed by all ships, Bartling said.
The ongoing price tag of this obligation for the local ports is $50 million, he said, pointing out that companies such as his own will have to foot some of the bill.

November 26, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit filed by the families of 17 sailors killed in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday reversed a lower court's dismissal of the lawsuit against Sudan.
U.S. District Judge Robert Doumar had ruled that the families could not seek damages for emotional distress because they had already won an earlier judgment for compensatory damages. Doumar said the plaintiffs could not sue twice for the same terrorist attack.
The appeals court unanimously disagreed. It ruled that a law passed by Congress in 2008 while the first lawsuit was still on appeal specifically allowed the families to file the second lawsuit.

Book Description:
Wyoming Territory 1870 Widowed and barren, Jenna sees the newborn left on her doorstep as a priceless gift worthy of any sacrifice. She knows she'll need a husband to keep the baby, but nothing prepares her for the man who offers. Big and dark, simmering with a deadly intensity, Clint McKinnely could put fear into the devil. He certainly strikes fear into her. But Jenna soon discovers that the man behind the reputation is the one man she longs to trust. A hard man burned out by the choices he's made, Clint is looking for a reason to go on. He finds one in Jenna Hennessy. Lushly plump, sweet and shy, she calls to him on every level. When it looks as though Jenna might lose the daughter she loves for lack of a husband, Clint steps forward. Having Jenna in his home brings Clint a peace he's never known, but even as he ferrets out the secrets that haunt Jenna's nightmares, Clint keeps his own close to his chest, knowing this marriage is temporary because there are some sins a man can't expect his wife to forgive.

WICHITA, Kan. -- A business that provides residential and adult day services for people with disabilities has gone out of business. And now former employees of the company are complaining they didn't get paid when the company shut down.
House of Hope is located at 2400 South Greenwich in southeast Wichita. Some employees say they found out they were out of a job just a week before the company shut down.
Some said they weren't paid. Others say they received half a paycheck. We found the building with a "now hiring" sign out front locked up tight this morning with a sign on the door that said "paychecks will be handed out at 3 p.m. today" on Monday.
Employee Billie Jenkins said the pay delay meant no turkey on Thanksgiving for her two kids. "So we really didn't do anything for Thanksgiving. I mean I couldn't do anything," Jenkins said.
Jackie Quintanilla said she feels sorry for the clients she helped who were sent to other programs.
"They have special needs for a reason and they way they were going about stuff there at the end. It's not fair," she said.
Late Monday afternoon the owner of the company told KAKE News that employees are paid bi-weekly and provided payroll schedules. When employees showed up at 3 p.m. Monday they were told their paychecks would be direct deposited into their accounts. The owner told KAKE she knew nothing about the sign on the front door and referred all other questions to her attorney.

So. Um. A homeschooling book about chocolate?
That only sounds weird if you don't actually homeschool (or if you're one of those "white chocolate" weirdos). The fact is, homeschooling and chocolate belong together.
Think about it. Say you're having a tough day. Gripe to your non-homeschooling friends, and they'll helpfully point you in the direction of the nearest public school. Take that same rant to your homeschooling support loop, and what will they say? "Sounds like you need chocolate. Go send the kids on an educational field trip to get you some."
Sadly, this book is not actually made of chocolate. But it does offer some wonderful recipes, fun facts, and general information about the substance that keeps more homeschoolers going than John Taylor Gatto, Charlotte Mason, and The Well-Trained Mind combined.

Farmers Alley Drama Forces New Thoughts On Freedom, Family
By Judith Cookis Rubens
Originally printed 2/14/2013 (Issue 2107 - Between The Lines News)
Audiences might think they know many Civil War-era stories, but playwright Matthew Lopez's "The Whipping Man" adds one more dynamic tale to the list.
Farmers Alley's forceful, thought-provoking, three-man drama will leave you with even more questions about our country's painful history. But it does so with artful flourish and small, poignant details of one fictionalized family's past.
It's 1865 and the Civil War has just ended, the Confederacy falling just days earlier. Injured Jewish Confederate officer Caleb DeLeon returns to his family's once-grand plantation home in Richmond, Va., only to find it in ruins and his family gone.
Left are two of the family's newly freed slaves: Simon, a faithful, humble elder who knows all the DeLeon family secrets; and John, a wild, law-breaking cad who wants revenge after years of servitude.
All three have their secret reasons for holing up in the crumbling mansion. Outwardly, they are protecting it from looters until the DeLeons return. But, really, they are protecting their own interests and secrets, which only adds to the suspense.
The men clearly need each other, and, indeed, they've been "family" for years, but they circle each other warily, no one knowing his role anymore. When Caleb's wounded leg, rotting from gangrene, needs to come off, Simon (a war nurse of sorts) saves Caleb's life and plies his former master with stolen whiskey to ease the pain. But Caleb can't stop himself from ordering Simon and John around, as if they are still his property.
Interestingly, John and Caleb grew up together ("two peas in a pod," Simon recalls). But John, understandably, harbors deep resentment over the many times Caleb's father punished John by sending him to the local "whipping man," a brutish devil with a massive collection of bullwhips.
Further complicating things is the fact that the three men are bound by their shared faith of Judaism. The elder DeLeon passed on his Jewish faith to his slaves. To Simon, that faith has been a gift he's clung to in times of sorrow.
But, as the two African-American men recount, it's also tough for them to square their treatment as enslaved men in the Old South at the hands of a Jewish family whose own ancestors endured persecution and slavery.
It's a novel conceit (African-American Jews in the postbellum south? According to history, there were some), and one that adds interesting complications.
The second-act Passover Seder scene is especially powerful as the trio commemorates the freedom of Jews from slavery in Egypt. A reluctant Caleb joins in, having abandoned his faith after seeing the horrors of war. Simon, the family's new moral compass, flips back and forth between memorized passages of the Jewish Haggadah to singing verses of the African-American spiritual, "Go Down, Moses," further cementing the parallels between both enslaved groups.
What does it mean to be a family? Is it strictly blood, genes? Or do shared rituals and faith have a part? Can there be love with ownership?
We don't get simple answers, but director D. Terry Williams' masterful interpretation of this taut two-act play offers surprises up until the very end.
W. Douglas Blickle's charred, decaying home set is rich with period details, while sound designer Derek Mechinger gets it just right with the ominous, relentless rain just outside the front door. The gauzy lighting designed by David Downey is well-executed and bathes everything in the filmy veil of history.
But it would all be nothing without a stellar trio of actors who deliver multi-layered characters. The obvious leader is Rico Bruce Wade as the quietly moral but steely Simon. Wade captures Simon's hopeful optimism and humor, along with his weariness. He lends perfectly timed humor and great energy to every scene.
As John, Scott V. Norman reprises the role he played in 2011's joint production by Plowshares Theatre Company and The Jewish Ensemble Theatre Company in Metro Detroit. He menacingly pulls on John's cloak of resentment and anger, but Norman also excels at unearthing the wounded childhood pain beneath.
Ben Reigel's Caleb is (spoiler alert) injured and couch-ridden for most of the play, and, therefore, stripped of much physical acting. Somehow he manages to bring great depth to this pivotal character using voice, timing and facial expressions. Reigel's achingly beautiful reading of Caleb's wartime letters further humanizes his character.
As Simon so powerfully explains to John, everyone has choices. Some of these choices turn out to be bad, but they are all within our power.
One easy choice, however, is catching "The Whipping Man" at Farmers Alley before it closes.

Kicking at 10 weeks?
This is my fourth child and I am "suppose" to be 10 weeks along but, however, when I push on my tummy I can feel where the baby is and it will kick back. Not tap but kick back. There is NO way I can only be 10 weeks can I? I must of had a couple periods during my first trimester, yes? I have been declared significantly anemic already.

I am 10 weeks pregnant with my fourth child and I know that the baby is kicking already the doctor says its too early to feel it but I know that those movements I feel are in fact the baby.posted 11/10/2007 by Sabrinarjb
It is very possible to feel your baby kicking and moving at 9 weeks or maybe even sooner1 I am 10 weeks along with my third child and this one has been very different! I started to feel kicks at around 8 weeks and I couldn't believe it, but I did! Also it is true that the slimmer your stomach area, the sooner you will start to feel kicks and possibly even see them. But you probably won't actually see them for a while eventhough you can feel them sooner. You can definately tell the difference between gas and kicks.posted 11/09/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
To the Ob office as I stated below this is my 7th pregnancy 5 of my children made it to term 2 did not I am 10 weeks pregnant and dispite if you are ob or work for one does not prove the fact that you can or can not feel the baby at early stages even an ob will tell you every pregnancy is different in some way or other and maybe you are just not experiencing what the rest of us are there are some things that can feel like movement but may simply be gas but there are other things that really can be movement even if it is hicups kicking hitting or just even fluttering machines can not tell you what you physically feel not even and ultra sound they can only tell youwhat they know everybody is different.posted 11/09/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

I am so happy to hear this I am 10 weeks so I feel some kicking and dont believe that I am 10 weeks I have read some things that say If you feel kicking at an early age that is just becaues your baby is a really healthy baby.
