Another View: Why raising the state's gas tax takes taxpayers for a ride
As we begin to build our state budget spending plan for the next two years, two camps have emerged regarding how to increase funding for our road and bridge projects: One insists that raising our gas tax is the answer, while the other looks to protect taxpayers by establishing a totally new source of funding.
As Senate Finance Chairman and the veteran of several budget battles, I am convinced we need to move forward on this funding issue in a manner we can best handle financially with the least burden to taxpayers. That is why I could not be more opposed to HB 617, filed by Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, that seeks to increase our gas tax by fifteen cents per gallon.
This would mean an eighty-three percent increase, totaling one billion dollars over ten years, in our gas tax and the timing could not be worse. Prices at the pump are heading back up at the same moment New Hampshire is beginning to show signs of climbing out of the current recession. This is exactly the wrong recipe for improving our economy.
When fully implemented, this tax will cost drivers in my hometown of Salem nearly $2 million a year. Nashua drivers will contribute an additional $5.2 million, and Manchester motorists will pay in over $6.3 million more a year. In return, our communities will receive less than 20 percent of those funds for local road and bridge repairs; the rest will be funneled to bureaucracy of our state's Dept. of Transportation.
There are additional reasons why raising the gas tax is bad policy:
We are currently living in a time of high gas prices and a stagnant economy. These are the two main obstacles to raising the gas tax in recent years.
As gas prices/taxes increase, consumers drive less, purchase less gas and as a result, tax collections decrease.
Supporting an increase in the gas tax is one thing, being honest about who is footing the bill is another. Since most gas in New Hampshire is bought by New Hampshire drivers and businesses, we would not be passing this increased cost along. Example: $22 million of diesel fuel was purchased last year in New Hampshire and New Hampshire businesses/individuals bought $21 million of it.
An increase in the gas tax is bad for commerce and small business because it makes energy more expensive. These increased costs cut into a business's bottom line and are often passed on to consumers.
Once any tax is raised, the state becomes dependent upon it.
And if those arguments aren't convincing, try this: If we pass an increase in the gas tax as Rep. Campbell suggests, it would nearly double the amount of revenue our Dept. of Transportation collects when fully implemented.
If every department took this approach, state government and the taxpayers would go broke.
Instead, I believe funding roads and bridges with money generated by expanded gaming is the better approach for two reasons. First, under Senate Bill 152 (legislation that I am sponsoring), gaming money generated by a casino located near the Massachusetts border will go directly to the source, i.e., bettering roads/bridges, paying off bonds. And second, there will be no additional taxation of New Hampshire citizens.
Specifically, this legislation guarantees the state gets 30 percent of the net revenues a casino generates from its slot machines. Twenty-five percent of that money pool is split between roads and bridges, higher education, and North Country economic development. The town where the casino is built, as well as adjacent communities, would benefit from three and one-percent shares respectively. The final one percent is set aside to support problem gamblers.
Here's the bottom line, to pay for needed road and bridge work the legislature can either create pain at the pump by nearly doubling the gas tax and thus reducing disposable income and hurting commerce in the state; or go with a plan that protects taxpayers by establishing a new, non-tax source of revenue that could raise more than $50 million a year - a plan that also has the green light from Gov. Hassan.
I think the choice is pretty clear.

Jinal, Levipil contains the active ingredient Levitiracetam, which is used to help control seizures in Epilepsy patients.

As to how long you have to take it, that really depends on your condition, some people do require them for their entire lives.
Bhupendra, it seems they think your episode was caused by a seizure.
The Ecosprin contains the active ingredient Aspirin and it is usually used for its blood thinning properties.

Are there any other questions or comments?

The "Unconditionally" singer outsells all women in 2013 — including Miley Cyrus
Katy Perry came in with a "Roar," and is now your Billboard No. 1.
The pop star's new album "Prism" debuted in the top slot on the Billboard 200 chart after selling 286,000 copies in its opening week. In doing so, Perry also had the best album sales week for a woman this year, topping Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz," which moved 270,000 units during its debut week, according to Billboard.
"Prism" unit numbers were so strong actually that it old-sold the eight albums below it combined, including last week's No. 1, Pearl Jam's "Lightning Bolt."
See video: Katy Perry Freaks Out Over 'Ja'mie: Private School Girl' Surprise Call
Among pop releases, Perry's week is only second in 2013 to Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories," which sold 339,000 copies.
"Prism" is Perry's second No. 1 effort, following 2010's "Teenage Dream." That album moved 192,000 units in its opener, making this current week the artist's best ever.
Perry is currently out on tour promoting the album and plugging its new single, "Unconditionally."

WHAT do three enormous craters in the Siberian wastelands have to do with a terrified American climate scientist? Methane. And that's something to scare us all.
The end of the world could be starting right now - in a frozen Siberian wasteland known as Yamal. It translates as "The End of the Land".
The first mysterious crater was spotted by oil workers earlier this month. It was an 80m wide cavern that reached deep into the earth.
Since then, the
Siberian Times reports goatherds have found a further two enormous vents in the ground.
Russian researchers have returned from their investigation of the first find and taken water and soil samples to help resolve how the hole was formed.
Some say aliens. Some say they're "hellmouths" - gateways to the undead.
But scientists already have a pretty good idea.
Explosive vents of vast quantities of methane gas.
Now a new, ominous, name could be attached to them: Dragon's mouths.

Authentic Spanish restaurants in the Boston Area?
We're looking for an excellent authentic spanish or mexican restaurant in the Boston area to celebrate my father-in-law's 75th birthday. South Shore would be even better. It needs to have a nice atmosphere, great authentic food (to those who have tasted the real thing), not be too exorbitant in price and ideally able to handle a sizeable group. I know it's a lot to ask, and it might be tough to get all our wishes fulfilled, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!
re: Prav
His background is mexican and spanish and he adores both cuisines. He grew up and has been cooking mostly Mexican all of his life, but he just got back from a trip to Spain (his first) and has been particularly excited about Spanish cuisine. So, either would be great, although Spanish might top the list at the moment. Thanks!
This is a great and an affordable Spanish resto in the Boston area. If you want Mexican, El Sarape in Weymouth Landing is the BEST in the area.......for miles around. I think the actual address is Braintree...... So good!!! Carnitas !!! Mole!! Yumm!!
415 Washington St, Somerville, MA 02143
Taberno de Haro is the best authentic Spanish restaurant. Beacon St in Brookline. Fabulous tapas to share and the best Spanish wine list anywhere.
Among Boston-area restaurants, Taberna de Haro and Estragon hew closest to traditional Spanish cuisine, and both are excellent. Taberna is a bit more homey in feel, and has an astonishing all-Spanish wine list. Estragon is more swish in atmosphere, and has a beer / wine / cordial license (making some pretty good cocktails within those limits). Both take reservations: at one time Taberna didn't, but it's on OpenTable now, woo-hoo! (For a big party, you'd probably have to call; most places don't reserve more than 12 or so via OpenTable.)
Toro does very worthy food, but stretches the definition of Spanish a bit more. (Good bartending and wines, too.) It's not my favorite destination for occasion dinners, though, as it is a very hectic environment, loud and crowded, and doesn't take reservations; there's rarely a time when you won't face a significant wait for a table. Smaller parties work better there.
re: MC Slim JB
Taberna de Haro's on Open Table now? That's the best news I've heard all winter!
re: BobB
I was pretty excited about that development, myself. Somehow I'm guessing you won't be able to reserve Taberna's patio seats that way, though.
re: MC Slim JB
Maybe not, but in a couple of months I'll be trying.
re: BobB
Update - I made a reservation this past Saturday and specifically requested the patio. I was told that they'd try to hold a table there but couldn't guarantee it, but that they would guarantee a table indoors if not outside. I got there right on time (8PM) and got seated outdoors with only about a ten minute wait. And they let us order wine to drink while waiting - very civilized!
There was one couple ahead of us for an outdoor table, and they had also made a reservation.
So it looks like the bottom line is, making a reservation does help get you an outside table, though not necessarily with quite the same degree of reliability as sitting inside.
If you have a large appetite...
Lunch at Las Ventas (Estragon's sister sandwich shop next door). Get the "las Ventas" sandwich, a slab of delectable tortilla espanola smeared with aioli and served on wonderful toasted slices (definitely get the toasted slices - perfect textural combo with the egg/potato/oniony goodness). This sandwich rivals Mei Sum's bahn mi as my current local favorite.
Dinner at Estragon. Wine list isn't as phenomenal as Taberno, but features the old style Rioja of my favorite Spanish bodega: R. Lopez de Heredia. Get the blanco. Not just because it's summer, but because the white Riojas are their finest wines.
re: Ricardo Malocchio
We were at Estragon last night and enjoyed it. Disappointed that the $1 selected tapas special could not be had at table but only at the bar. I guess we could have walked the 10 feet and plopped ourselves down barside. But, whatever. Highlights were the Bomba rice with squid and ink (clearly cooked to order), the beef cheeks (braised to impressive tenderness), a grilled baby octopus special and the arugula salad with goat cheese. Bocquerones were disappointing and meager. Price point is good for the quality and the setting and relaxed pace are nice.
re: Ricardo Malocchio
Ooh ooh I love the R.Lopez de Heredia wines! I've had a 97blanco, the 99 rose, and the 81 red- all fantastic! FYI Brix on Washington St recently had the 1981 red for $85- not sure if it's still there...
I recommend Dali is Somerville. I used to live in Madrid, and this is one of the few places in Boston that makes the cut for me. Dali offers an extensive selection of authentic hot and cold tapas. The dessert menu even includes a few Spanish postres I've never seen here in the states. If your father-in-law made it to Santiago de Compostela on his trip, he'll appreciate the Tarta de Santiago, a delicious almond cake.
re: walnuticecream
This is part of a LONG running discussion/debate on chowhound. Dali has it's lover's and haters.
I am in the latter camp. Having lived in Spain myself, I find most of their food not at all authentic, and often not particularly good.
The Dali owners are not actually Spanish either, but from South America.
Since he's a fan of "Mexican" flavors and ingredients, if he wants to take a slight departure from the food he's used to but stay in the same taste family, I'd recommend heading to Orinoco, a Venezuelan place in the South End and Brookline.
The owner is as authentic as they come, and her arepas are truly excellent.
PS: I haven't seen Tu y Yo recommended. Is that intentional? I remember it being pretty great about 5 years ago, but I've heard mixed reports since.
re: TroyOLeary
Tu y Yo is Mexican, not Spanish. And if you are going Mex, I would go to Angela's Cafe in Eastie, NOT Tu y Yo. I find Tu y Yo only so so of late.
re: StriperGuy
I'm aware -- poster said that "either [Mexican or Spanish] would be great" in a later post.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A new master plan for West Virginia's Capitol Complex proposes six new office buildings and three new parking facilities.
The 30-year plan also calls for expanding green space by closing a section of Washington Street and a section of California Street.
A legislative building is among the proposed new structures.
It would house the House of Delegates' offices and committee rooms, and offices for Legislative Services and Joint Committee staff.
Three buildings would be constructed east of the existing complex on Washington Street.
Currently, more than 1,200 employees occupy existing office space intended for about 750.

Best of luck to the guy though, or if he's looking for something "different", this could pave the way for a straight swap with Mr Rossi?

Ive nothing against Spies as a person, but he's failed big time on the best bike out there, Bar the odd flash of talent, last year was nothing special and this year has been embarrassing.
No, well done Yamaha, it would have been the biggest injustice in GP racing in you'd given him another contract simply because of his passport.

BC Football Team Showing Stellar Defense
BC Football Team's Defense Top-Notch
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield College football team heads into Saturday's state title game against City College of San Francisco with a tough defensive nature.
BC has given up an average of 13 points per game on the defensive side of the ball since their September 22 four-overtime loss to Ventura College.
That defensive prowess will be on display when the Renegades host CCSF at Memorial Stadium in a 2pm kickoff.

Procurement Policy
Agencies have reimbursed contractors for their executive salaries in one form or another since a 1997 law enabled it, a practice that seems reasonable to some and objectionable to others.
While there is a debate over whether government should do it at all, perhaps the more pressing issue is at what level the reimbursements should be capped.
"We're near the boiling point," said Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president of global public policy at TechAmerica.
The cap, calculated based on a formula first devised by the Clinton administration's Office of Federal Procurement Policy, was $693,000 in 2010 and rose to $763,029 in 2011. According to current OFPP administrator Joe Jordan, the cap will next have to be bumped to $950,000 if no legislative action is taken.
The struggle over current federal contractor reimbursement levels has its roots in 1997's Internet-fueled economy. At the time, now-retired Sen. Joe Lieberman, (I-Conn.) and others in government were concerned that top executive talent at private companies, immersed in the white-hot, high-tech-driven environment of the time, would eschew government contracts in favor of more lucrative private industry work. The idea was to sweeten the pot for contractors, adding funds to cover some or all of their executive salaries. It applies only to cost-reimbursement contracts.
Under the formula, the cap is based on the salaries of top corporate executives. Over the years, Congress has tried repeatedly to rein in the payments as the U.S. economy has slowed and CEO compensation has skyrocketed. In 2011 and 2012, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and other lawmakers unsuccessfully tried to reduce the cap.
More recently, bills have attempted to make the cap equal the salary of the president ($400,000) or the vice president ($273,000). This time around, private- and public-sector economic conditions could force lasting change. In the last decade or so, the gap between executive and regular employee pay at contracting companies has widened into a chasm. According to an AFL-CIO study in April, chief executives of the nation's largest companies earned an average of $12.3 million in total pay last year -- 354 times more than a typical American worker. Those executive payment levels, say opponents of higher caps, are prohibitive for taxpayer reimbursements for contractor executives.
This year, federal agencies have been thumped by sequestration cuts, with some instituting furloughs for employees to save money and all looking to substantially reduce costs and increase efficiency.
A look at how the contractor compensation cap has risen in recent years, in thousands of dollars, as reported by the Office of Management and Budget. Click here for detailed data.
"The trouble began when the reimbursement level was tied to executive compensation," said Scott Amey, general counsel at the Project on Government Oversight. Amey, other government watchdog groups and lawmakers in favor of limiting reimbursement contend the payments are incongruent in a government tightening its belt and a stumbling national economy.
The contractor compensation rules are slightly different for civilian contractors and defense, according to Scott Amey, general counsel at the Project On Government Oversight.
For civilian contractors, the five highest-paid executives in the company are eligible for compensation. For defense contractors, as of 2011, it applies to all DOD contract employees, not just executives.
The formula for calculating the cap is complicated, but boils down to this:
Using commercially-available surveys, determine the median amount of compensation provided for all senior executives, using data from the most recent year available when the OFPP administrator determines the amount.
The data used is the total amount of wages, salary, bonuses and deferred compensation earned by the five highest paid employees in management positions in publicly traded U.S. companies with annual sales of more than $50 million.
Once OFPP establishes the benchmark compensation amount, it stays in effect until OFPP again revises it.
Read the rule here.
"The payments place a huge burden on taxpayers. We need reform," said Amey. "Why does CEO pay apply to a defense contractor when there are hiring freezes and pay freezes at government agencies?"
Amey said that, ideally, he'd like a new reimbursement cap set at $200,000, with individual waivers filed if more money is needed to keep a top-level executive on the job.
Groups that represent federal contractors contend the picture is more nuanced, arguing they well understand the pressure to cut costs, but also see private industry continually drawing valuable executives away from government contract work. They say there must be realistic compensation to keep talented contracting-company executives engaged, especially in some critical markets. They also said they are open to other solutions. But if reimbursement is unrealistically limited and executives seek more-lucrative private industry work, said Hodgkins, "we stand to lose skills and erode our ability to retain top performers in key areas like cybersecurity and software design."
One way to address the ballooning executive reimbursement caps, he said, is to change the baseline of payments. Instead of tying them to the top five executives' salaries, they should be based on broader compensation data gathered by the Department of Labor. "We should use a formula based on public sector averages, and shouldn't conflate salary with compensation," he said.
Salary and compensation are not the same thing, Hodgkins stressed. The president, he argued, receives benefits beyond his salary, so using only the salary isn't the most accurate yardstick.
Steve Kelman
Some who have watched the battle over the years are conflicted about the process and its results, but ultimately see reimbursement caps as a roadblock to government contracting.
"I can see the arguments from both sides," said Steve Kelman, professor of public management at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and former administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. Savings are vital to government, he noted, yet government also needs top talent working on some of its most difficult problems.
Ultimately Kelman argued that reform should affect all executives, not just those working on government contracts. "I come down on the side of 'if you want to address pay inequality, do it through tax law and don't single out government contractors,'" he said. "That deters companies from doing business with the federal government."
Reform efforts
Multiple proposals looking to reshape the reimbursement payments have been introduced in Congress in the last few months. Last year, legislation to reform the caps stalled.
Recently, OFPP administrator Joe Jordan recommended tying the caps to the president's $400,000 annual salary and extending them beyond only defense contractors and the top five nondefense contractor executives.
On June 20, the 2013 Commonsense Contractor Compensation Act was introduced by Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y) and Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). The legislation would cap the maximum salary reimbursement for all government contractors at the vice president's $230,700 annual salary, and extend the cap to cover all defense and civilian contractor employees.

The General Services Administration's Matthew Goodrich predicts more agency-driven authorizations and previews a new two-year road map.
Government contractors already deal with unallowable costs every day -- and they continue to incur those costs, such as booze for the company picnic, but they simply don't include those costs in their direct or indirect cost pools for Government contracts. It's the same with executive compensation -- even with the current caps, some companies still pay more to certain executives -- but they don't include the overages in the Government contract accounting. This isn't a big deal.
What if a critical contractor does not feel the defense of our nation is as important as the govt does and therefore does not pay to reatin a critical executive? In this case a program the govt feels is vitally important will then totally depend on whether or not the contractor feels the same way. If they don't they will let the exec go to more lucrative work while national defense (as determined by the govt) languish. So here, the taxpayer (represented by the govt) wants a program badly. The contractor disagrees and the taxpayer does not get what he/she wants. Who's fault will that be? Hint: the govt.
This is a Red Herring for the simple minded. Demagogues can make hay with this issue but my guess is they have already spent more money beating the war drums about this than it has actually cost the Government in real dollars. The average officer of a contracting firm doesn't make anywhere near that ceiling and since the cost is spread over all their contracts I don't think it adds up to much in real terms. It is an apple-pie issue designed to stir up us-them friction. Unnecessary and unproductive. Get back to mission folks! Get rid of bad contractors and reward good contractors - next!
How can this be a democratic goverment when we have corupt policies like this giving top executives money so they can keep doing business with the goverment. We are no better then the next guy down the road. You know you get paid for the work you do and if you do not do it then that is it, go some where else to get that money. We should stop this giving away of money, some of this top executive would not make it with all this hand outs we are giving them. You would have some of the small companies be able to compete if they would stop giving away money to this Corporations that do not put out quality equipment. Think of the billions of dollars they would save if they would quit giving this top executives money. Someone's is in somebody's back pocket, think about it.
Our colleagues at the Center for Effective Government have been out front arguing that the the cap applies to fixed-price contracts, stating that "whenever Federal Acquisition Regulation cost principles apply to the pricing of a contract [i.e. when cost analysis is used pursuant to FAR 31.102], the caps should apply."
Additionally, we have to remember that the cap doesn't limit how much contractors compensate their employees, it only limits how much of that compensation the taxpayers have to pay. We need to remove the burden of exorbitant salaries from the taxpayers' shoulders.

Slow-Cooked Nova Scotian Baked Beans (with European Soldier Beans)
Bean envy.
Do you have it?
Jealous of those who live in the US with easy access to Rancho Gordo heirloom beans? RG even has a BEAN CLUB!! Or how about heirloom beans from Kalustyan's, Purcell Mountain Farms or MarxFood? I mean, they technically could ship to Canada, but it costs way too much to be feasible (beans are heavy). I have recruited very loving family and friends help me collect my heirloom bean stash. My Christmas present included heirloom beans (and tote bag) my brother picked from Rancho Gordo's booth while vacationing in San Francisco. Woohoo for me!
I have searched for local options. Canada has such vast farmland; why don't we have heirloom beans? Turns out you just need to know where to look. I have had good luck at ethnic grocers (Sunny's has a whole half aisle dedicated to beans), Whole Foods (especially the store near Square One in Mississauga) and for those that don't live nearby you can even mail order Nova Scotian beans right to your front door. But only if you buy 12 lbs. :)
Not daunted by such a large amount of beans, I ordered a mix of Jacob's Cattle, Soldier and Yellow Eye beans from Webster Farms, a family farm in Cambridge, Nova Scotia. I have been eating the Yellow Eye beans as a nice alternative to white beans. The next experiment is for the European soldier beans, named after its red markings (the red coats of the British soldiers).
I decided to tackle a Canadian specialty: baked beans. In the Nova Scotian way. I mean, these beans are from Nova Scotia, how could I not?
Turns out there was a recipe on the back of the package for baked beans. In general, recipes for baked beans call for gobs of sugar – molasses, honey, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Most recipes will advise you specifically not to use blackstrap molasses, but the recipes that use it are the recipes that interest me the most. Blackstrap molasses may be bitter but it also has a lot of iron and calcium, too.
So, on a wintry night, I warmed the house with a slow-cooked pot of baked beans. With a trio of soldier beans, blackstrap molasses and pumpkin seed butter, we have an iron overload. Food bloggers always exaggerate, right? I am not kidding. With almost 40mg of iron in one serving, that's 220% of the standard recommended daily intake. (If you don't believe vegans need extra iron, of course). Eat an orange and pass on coffee/tea to help absorb it all. These beans are not too sweet but have a depth from the bitter blackstrap molasses. The pumpkin seed butter makes these a lot more creamy than they look. The slow cooking makes the sauce thick and full-bodied. I stopped after 3 hours but feel free to let it cook into the evening.
So, envying the beans, yet? :)
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes, and to month's My Legume Love Affair, hosted by Susan.
Slow-Cooked Nova Scotian Baked Beans
Adapted from Ripe From Around Here (original recipe found here)
1 lb (2 1/3 cups) soldier beans (or navy or yellow-eye or pinto, etc), soaked overnight
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 can tomato paste (~1/2 cup) (optional, but I used it)
1/4 cup blackstrap molasses (substitute molasses for a sweeter taste)
1/4 cup pumpkin seed butter
sweetener, to taste (Jae recommends 2 tbsp brown sugar but I did not add anything else)
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp Ancho chile powder (optional, but highly recommended)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. Discard soaking water and rinse beans.
2. Preheat oven to 350F. Place beans along with 6 cups of fresh water in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or large saucepot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the beans are almost done but not quite (around 30-60 minutes). Remove any scum that accumulates at the top.
3. Add onion, tomato paste, blackstrap molasses, pumpkin seed butter, salt, ground mustard, ginger, chile powder, and any additional sweetener, to taste. Add an additional cup of water. Cover and bake in oven for 30 minutes. Check to see if any additional water is needed. Reduce heat to 300F and continue to cook for an additional 4-6 hours, until the sauce is saucy and the beans are meltingly soft. I stopped cooking after 2.5 hours.
Serves 8.

I've never enjoyed the sweetness of standard baked beans, but in truth I've only ever really had the canned kind! This looks incredible. And oh, I dream of eventually being in a position to splurge on fancy food ingredients again… :)
I'm a big fan of blackstrap molasses and try to use it whenever regular molasses is called for. These beans sound perfect. I've been craving baked beans lately and need to give this a try!
Those beans are gorgeous–and I had no idea there was a Nova Scotian recipe for them. Anything Nova Scotian makes takes me down memory lane :) Definitely making this weekend or next!!
I never would have thought to add pumpkin seed butter to baked beans! Very interesting indeed. This may have to happen at our house sometime in the next week…
maybe it's a dumb question…but what is pumpkin seed butter? recipe sounds great! but…I have not a clue about that one ingredient!
So…I totally joined the Rancho Gordo year of beans club thing! Got my first shipment the other day and am loving it. I'm mostly glad that it will force me to cook up a batch of beans once a week and get inventive. :) Definitely going to add this to my list of to-make bean recipes!
I don't know about anyone else but I certainly have bean envy. These look fabulous!
There are some truly magnificent and unusual heirloom varieties out there. I am familiar with all the online retailers you mention, but cautious in my purchases b/c I know it's not nearly as economical than picking up a bag of black turtles at the local store. : \
Your beans have that dense, paste-like quality which is so homey and colorful. This would be wonderful mounded on toasted Boston brown bread.
Thanks, Janet, for another great MLLA recipe!
In Nova Scotia, Webster's beans are in every supermarket. If you live near a Farm Boy outlet in Ontario, try asking them to order them in. They recently listed Terra Beata farm cranberry juice , also from NS. Also great.
[…] trying out new versions. Mango BBQ Beans are one of my favourites, but I also enjoyed the robust Slow-Cooked Nova Scotian Baked Beans with blackstrap molasses and pumpkin seed […]

As a single woman of 68, and living in France far from my family, I am beginning to look at end of life issues — such as how to age gracefully in place, how to create a support group and face the last how-ever-many years with dignity, control, and pleasure. I have been discussing creating a shared home with four or five other women and wonder if anyone else thinks of this.
This is Offbeat Home's archive of Roommates posts.
The practice of living with roommates and getting along with family definitely deserves its own category of posts.
Ozzie and Harriet beds: The aftermath of sleeping separately
This is in response to the insomniac post. I saw a few comments like, "Separate beds will help. Separate rooms would probably help even more."

Reconnecting with my family by changing the way we do dinner
As children, eating dinner with our families was a nightly occurrence, but as adults we seem to have fallen out of the habit.

We've been incredibly pleased with our arrangement, which has led to some unexpected benefits…

5 ways to cope with hoarding
I didn't expect hoarding to impact my life in such a big way. I grew up in a house that made constant donations to whatever organization would come by our front door — at least three garbage bags each month, minimum. Stuff came in, stuff went out. This was my normal. And then I met the man who would one day become my husband. And then I met his parents. And now hoarding is a very real and stressful part of my life. Here are some of the challenges of dealing with hoarders, and how we cope with them…
Living with my partner isn't like living with a roommate
The other day when my boyfriend was at work, I texted him to say "I'm exhausted and I just want to warn you that the dishes aren't done. I'll get to them tomorrow first thing."
His response: "I hate to tell you this, love, but you're an adult now. You can do the dishes whenever you want!"
My reaction in my mind: "Not true. I have a responsibility to my roommate to maintain this house in the way that I would want to live in it." Then I caught myself and thought for a minute. Does living with your partner mean that maybe, just maybe, the entire home is now under our shared dominion? And that, within reason, I can decide what gets done when, just like he can? I still wasn't sure.

My exam results come today!! Five As and a B, which is much better than expected! The B was for Chemistry, weirdly enough - I thought I'd get Bs or Cs in Physics and/or Engineering, but apparently not.
School starts up again next Thursday... I have done nothing. No revision and no essay, which I do actually need. So. Hopefully I can dredge up the motivation to do it before the last day of the break. School will not be fun. Highers will not be fun. Hmm.
We're going down to the England from tomorrow to the 11th. I don't think this affects anyone in any way because I'll probably be just as active and might still post art because I've started using GIMP! GIMP is great.
I think that's it. Not much to say. How is everyone else?

The drive as 3 partitions 1 Hidden with the Vista factory installer and 2 others split into aprox 70GB each. The 1st with the OS and the second as a data drive. Question: Oncethe upgrade to windows 7 is done will it leave the 1st partition with the Vista installer and delete the other 2 so I get 140GB. Also once the upgrade is done will Ibe able to image the new OS so I can move it to a bigger drive and then delete the old laptop drive and use it a a spare external drive so as only to have one version of windows.

For some reason Motor Trend mocks the 2014 Malibu. Check out the rear legroom of higher priced cars--many have less rear legroom than the Malibu. The interior is not cheap looking. I find the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry lacking in many ways. Accord has a cheaper looking seats for example.
I compared many in the same class, test drove and reviewed each, feature for feature.
Top competitors were Accord and Optima.
The 2014 Malibu had the fit and finish that were a obvious step above. The smooth quiet ride was a very big difference, and the awesome refined looks of the exterior are in charge. The interior with soft finishes, and great Infotainment system rocked. I've got the 2LT, and very satisfied.
Best buy in midsize sedan category.
Tired of high price camrys. Plastic wheel covers on Camry.
Bought a 2014 Lt1 with extra convience power package.
Great design and features. Exceptional quiet
and smooth ride. Real aluminum wheels. Beats Camry and Accord in
every vehicle stat. Has onstar, XM radio. My link
pandora, bluetooth, back up camera, etc.
free 24 month maintenance.
Chevy dealer gave excellent service in every way.

The Flood of 2011 gave the Fort Calhoun Fire Department a chance to hone their skills.
The flood left a house north in Fort Calhoun damaged beyond repair. Firefighters recently burned the house down in a controlled burn training exercise.
The house is owned by the Fort Calhoun Stone Company and was donated to the Fort Calhoun Fire Department.
Fort Calhoun Fire Chief Chad Nixon says nothing can compare to experience gained by these controlled burn exercises where firefighters can watch the burn and how it builds.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Gordon Beckham hit an RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Tuesday night after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth.
One batter after Jordan Danks was thrown out trying to score from third on a fielder's choice, Beckham hit an 0-1 pitch from San Francisco reliever Santiago Casilla (1-2) past shortstop Brandon Crawford into left field. Sierra, who entered the game as a late defensive replacement, scored easily.
Adam Dunn hit a two-run home run off Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong in the first for Chicago, which wasted another strong start by Chris Sale when reliever Jake Petricka gave up four hits in the ninth.
Beckham, who made two stellar defensive plays including one in the ninth, bailed out the White Sox bullpen with only hit in five at-bats.

National Nursing Home Week: Caring for LGBT Elders
This is a guest post by Hilary Meyer, Director of the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging.
Did you know? This week (May 12-May 18) is National Nursing Home Week! The theme for this year is team care. At SAGE, we believe it takes a team to deliver culturally competent services to LGBT elders, including those in nursing homes.
For this reason, SAGE's National Resource Center on LGBT Aging trains thousands of providers across the country on cultural awareness of the particular difficulties that LGBT people face. These certified trainers are then able to provide trainings in their community to policy makers, services providers (including to nursing home staff) and other leaders.
LGBT older adults came of age in a time when there was tremendous discrimination and hostility toward LGBT people. As a result, many LGBT older adults have concerns about whether they will be treated with dignity and respect in congregate residential settings, such as nursing homes.

Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of what is called "the satellite that forever changed weather forecasting."
On this date in 1960, the first weather satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It's called the TIROS-1 or Television Infrared Observation Satellite." Its first image was a fuzzy band of clouds over the Eastern U.S.
Since then, dozens of new weather satellites have been launched. The newest pair was launched last year and can provide a complete picture of the globe every six hours.
For more information about the TIROS-1 visit the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Web Site.

Jeff Branscome writes about Spotsylvania County schools. You can email him at email@example.com.
Chancellor High recognized by School Board for 25th anniversary
The Spotsylvania School Board just recognized the 25th anniversary of Chancellor High School. Principal Jackie Bass Fortune and nine of the original staff members were present for recognition.
The following resolution was signed by all board members and presented at this evening's meeting.
WHEREAS , as early as August 1984, the Spotsylvania County School Board discussed the need for long-range planning in relation to population growth patterns in the County and the effect of this growth on schools; and
WHEREAS, a long-range planning committee comprised of the school Superintendent, School Board member(s), a member of the community appointed from each district, members of the County's Board of Supervisors, and the County Planning Director met in June 1985 and established a subcommittee to identify potential school building sites based on current and planned construction in the County; and
WHEREAS, in September 1985, the School Board began reviewing proposals from architectural firms to design and oversee the construction of a high school project and ultimately selected the firm of Smithey and Boynton for this project; and
WHEREAS, on January 2, 1986, the School Board unanimously approved the purchase of approximately 69 acres known as the Bell Tract for the construction of a 1,500 student high school and a 1,000 student intermediate school as well as approximately 12 acres adjacent to this property known as the Freeman Tract to provide space for and construction of sufficient playing fields; and
WHEREAS, on August 11, 1986, the School Board unanimously approved the site plan and building layout for the new high school—an approximate 240,000 square foot facility on two floors at an estimated cost of $52 per square foot or $12.5 million; and
WHEREAS, on December 21, 1987, during a Special Meeting of the School Board, attendance lines for Chancellor High School were approved; and
WHEREAS, on January 11, 1988, the School Board named the first principal of Chancellor High School—John Winston;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, despite construction delays due to weather, Chancellor High School opened for students on September 6, 1988 and was dedicated to the students and community on September 25, 1988.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the School Board recognizes the Chancellor High School's twenty-five years of service to the students of Spotsylvania County during the 2012-2013 school year.
