"Cashmere Mafia" Recaps: Episode 1.3 "Dangerous Liaisons"
Nice try — It's quite late, and Juliet's work is never done. Bountiful paycheck and fine dining aside, who would want this life? The work is dull, the hours are long, and the shoes are way too tight.
An assistant tells Juliet that Davis is loitering in her office, something he rarely does.
Davis says he wants to take her out to dinner before their daughter Emily's school thing. Juliet is not feeling lovey-dovey enough to move things around just to eat dinner with a cheater. He suggests some take-out falafel, like the old days. "You have to stop trying to make historical re-enactments of when we were good. It is what it is," she says.
Davis has been cheating on Juliet for so long, he's going to need a tri-corner hat for that historical re-enactment.
Juliet then tells him, with a smug smile, that she wants Cilla Grey's phone number. Davis can feel Juliet's vise-like grip around his you-know-whats, even from across the room. He nervously asks why she wants that phone number. Juliet replies slyly, "Why don't we leave you out of this, for once."
Cilla is strolling down Madison Avenue when she gets the call from Juliet.
After some catty pleasantries, they set a date to meet for coffee.
Juliet: How do you take your coffee? My treat.
Cilla: Light, no arsenic.
Juliet: I'm looking forward to it, darling.
Juliet's agenda is known only to Juliet, but I think it involves some bitch slappin'.
To serve man — Todd reports to Mia's office, as ordered, to defend the magazine cover as only a straight man can.
Mia: Why is there a man about to be eaten by a woman on the cover of my magazine?
Todd: It's the zeitgeist. Female execs are taking over. Movie studios, Silicon Valley, maybe our next president, God help us. The whole paradigm is flipped. Men are holding on for dear life. They want help.
Mia: I'm sure they do. And I get [that] controversy sells, but honestly? Corporate women are faceless cannibals? Who thinks like that?
Todd: Men.
Dear gad, someone hold a benefit for them right now!
Mia: Really? So this is how you see me? Am I eating you alive?
Todd: No, although other men might. Let's say, Jack.
Mia: Why would we say that?
Todd tells Mia this was Jack's idea, his last cover before leaving. A lovely parting gift of sorts. Todd thought Mia knew about it until Mia admits she hasn't really talked to Jack-ass.
They agree to never mention Jack's name again. Or rather, Mia tells Todd to stop talking about him. That's the new zeitgeist, Curly.

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada Republicans moved ahead with endorsing GOP candidates before the June primary after a bitter debate during their state convention Saturday in Las Vegas.
The party's central committee initiated the unusual move in response to grassroots anger over early candidate endorsements from elected officials, such as Gov. Brian Sandoval in the contentious lieutenant governor's race.
It fueled infighting within the party over what it means to be Republican and is indicative of the deep divides between the conservative wing of the GOP and "establishment" Republicans like Sandoval, U.S. Sen. Dean Heller and others.
At least three dozen GOP candidates are seeking primary backing from the state party. Others, including the governor, have shunned the process.
Critics say primary endorsements will pit Republicans against Republicans and further split the party.

Help outfit a completely bare kitchen!
- s
- SarachkaInBrooklyn Jun 23, 2012 10:26 AM
Hello, Chowhound!
I have been lurking on this site for about a year but figured it was time I started posting.
My significant other and I have finally procured the apartment of our dreams in lovely Park Slope. However, both of us are fairly young, and although we have lived sans parents in various situations over the past few years, we have no kitchen tools or gadgets that we can bring along to our new place to help outfit our kitchen. Essentially, we are starting from scratch - we have a few sets of water glasses, but that is about it.
I thought I would be able to compile a basic list of what we would need, but looking through what is in my parents' kitchen has caused me to become a bit overwhelmed. Money is a bit tight right now, and we plan on adding things over time, including replacing cheaper things when we have the money.
I love to cook and bake, by the way, and have done a lot of both growing up, but have always had many tools at my disposal. I would like to continue doing so, and although I realize I might have to become a bit creative, (and I would love to hear about multi-purpose tools, or tools that double/triple as something else even if it's unorthodox!) I would like to have a cheaply, but somewhat well outfitted kitchen.
So, hounds, I would like to hear what you consider necessary tools to outfit a kitchen! Pots/pans (what type, and how many?) dishware/glasses (what type, how many?) kitchen gadgets, etc., and tips on where to get them cheaply, even if they only last for the next year or so (we are hoping to be able to replace with better quality by then). Also, if so inclined, a ranking from most important to least? Thanks for the help!
*Mods, I put this in Cookware, but I'm not sure if it's better suited for General Topics. Please adjust accordingly! Thanks!
Without knowing what and how you like to cook it can be difficult to make appropriate recommendations. If you bake a lot, certain types of pans are required--such as muffin tin if you make muffins. As to regular cooking, if you do a lot of Asian then a wok and rice cooker might be basics. So starting by looking at what you cook can help to determine what you will use. And I second the thrift store suggestion. I've been wanting a new mini Cuisinart Food Processor for months and have haunted the thrift stores. Two weeks ago a brand new one, still in the box with everything appeared--$7.95--at least $30 in the store/online.
re: escondido123
Good tip re: what I like to cook/bake! I rarely make muffins, so no muffins pans necessary, but I do make scones, biscuits, and cookies a lot, so looks like some baking/cookie sheets are in order. Also, loaf pans...I love quick bread.
Thanks to everyone for input so far!
re: Sharuf
How does a restaurant supply store compare to Ikea? Have had a quick look through at Ikea, lots of cheap utensils and glasses and such, but don't know about quality. I am pretty sure there are a few restaurant supply stores relatively nearby...
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
When I was commuting to Houston a lot I outfitted my entire unfurnished apartment for $3,000 $2,000 of which was spent at Ikea. I've never had a problem with anything I bought there. Frankly, if you want cheap and acceptably good, it is hard to go wrong with a combination of Ikea and Walmart. Walmart used to have a set of 4 Santoku knives blessed by Wolfgang Puck for $25 - just fine for a small apartment. Buying most of your stuff there, you can probably get by with a crockpot, a microwave and maybe (since you bake) a breadmaker or a little oven (convection oven?). Get stuff you don't hate cheaply and then upgrade at your leisure.
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
Ikea is pretty decent -- and probably better than you can get elsewhere for the same money.
Here's a link to my reply to a similar question, just about the pots and pans: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8460... The whole thread is worthwhile.
Some excellent equipment can be obtained cheaply via thrifts, flea markets, online auction/flea sites, and friends and family members who are downsizing or upgrading. You certainly should not get a set of everything of one material. For baking sheets and many utensils, as well as basic durable dishes, restaurant supply stores are good.
Here's my list of essential utensils:
Chef's knife, cutting board, small utility or paring knife, peeler, grater (a box grater covers all needs, or get a microplane of the size(s) suited to your most frequent uses: large for soft cheeses, tomato, etc.; medium for hard cheeses, chocolate, ginger; fine for nutmeg).
Mixing bowls (some glass or ceramic, a few stainless), 4-cup pyrex measuring cup, strainer (medium), colander, nesting prep bowls.
Metal spring-loaded tongs, blunt spoon, slotted spoon, whisk, silicon spoonula, measuring spoons, stainless measuring cups, manual can opener, timer (unless one is built in to an existing appliance), oven thermometer.
Small appliances: immersion blender, toaster. Coffee device (press or drip don't require an outlet).
Dishes: Dinner plates (not too huge, for ease of storage and washing, i.e. 10.5" or smaller), soup/cereal bowls, salad/sandwich plates (7-8.5"). Fork, soup spoon, teaspoon, knife for each person. Coffee/tea cups/mugs. Glassware is totally dependent on what you drink and how many people you serve/entertain. Second tier: shallow wide rimmed bowls for pasta, stews, etc., a serving platter, and a serving bowl or two [mixing bowls can serve], serving utensils [cooking spoons can serve].
Hope the list is helpful in assembling what you need to use and enjoy your new kitchen. Remember, you don't need everything at once.
re: ellabee
I love this list!
Any recommendations for brands regarding the immersion blender? It might be one of things I get a few months in, but would love to have one.
<I love to cook and bake>
Well, your cookware should be based on your cooking style, and no one knows this better than you. For example, if you like to do a lot of slow cooker, then a Dutch Oven or a large pot is essential for you, and you may need two. If you like to cook Chinese, then a wok is more important than a frying pan.
For pot and pan, you will need at the very least one pot and one pan -- for large volume liquid based slow cooking and for fast quick oil assisted cooking. Of course, you will like want more than just one pot and one pan, but I am just trying to point out the very necessary.
If you like a cheap set and yet high quality triply cookware, then nothing beat Tramontina from Walmart. You said you have lurked in this site for over a year, then you must have seen many praises for this line of cookware.
This is only a good buy if and only if you like to cook with stainless steel surface cookware, so you have to ask yourself if you like this.
A good kitchen knife is a must must must, but that deserve a separate post.
A good cutting board of course.
In term of gadgets, I think a coffee grinder is nice if you like to grind your own spices which I do. You will of course need a few food containers for storing sugar, flour, ...etc for baking.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I don't have any experience with stainless steel, what makes it so love/hate? I have read a few threads comparing stainless steel and nonstick, but they always seem to devolve into why nonstick is so terrible, and then arguments about how harmful the coating is. As much as I love cooking, I haven't devoted as much time as I probably should have to learning the pros and cons between different types of cookware as I've cooked throughout the years.
Although I didn't venture much into the cookware section of Chow while I was lurking, I have read good things about stainless steel, but not so many things about why some dislike it. I have read about problems regarding sticking, but I would really prefer not to buy nonstick, which many offer as a solution to the sticking problem. However, I am afraid to spend money on stainless if it turns out I hate it! What do you love about your stainless?
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
I have a mix of many cookware from stainless to carbon steel, from cast iron to clay...etc. What I like about stainless steel cladded cookware are that they are very nonreactive. You can use it at high temperature or low temperature, to fry or to simmer, stovetop or oven, hand washing or machine dishwashing...etc. It biggest drawback is that foods readily stick to the surface. There are techniques to minimize this, but there is certainly a learning curve -- whereas there is absolutely zero learning curve for Teflon nonstick cookware in comparison.
<I have read good things about stainless steel, but not so many things about why some dislike it>
I am sure you have heard of the phrase that "vote by their feet", "or "dollar voting". That is to say at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. At the end of the day, with all the passionate arguments silent and all the dust settled, significantly more consumers chose nonstick cookware over stainless steel cladded cookware. If stainless steel cladded cookware are so universally loved, then you would think there is little need for nonstick cookware. Basically, everyone who bought nonstick cookware sets are in fact saying that stainless steel cladded cookware are not for them.
Personally, I think stainless steel cladded cookware are good for many things especially for pots and saucepans. I prefer cast iron and carbon steel for fast cooking cookware like the frying pans or woks. However, my preference is not yours. You should choose cookware best for you, and not to be persuaded to buy something I like. I don't think you can really go wrong with stainless steel cladded pots or saucepans. Since the sticking problem of stainless steel mostly manifest in frying pans and saute pans...etc. Do you think you can go to your friend's house and try to saute or fry something in their stainless steel fry pans? Better yet if they can lend you theirs for a day or two.
P.S.: Get a good kitchen knife and a good cutting board if you have not. Many people buy $1000 worth of cookware, but use some crappy $10 kitchen knives.
ANother in favor or checking out thrift stores or yard sales. I'd look for a rectangular/square Pyrex/Corning baking dish... lasagna, brownies, lots of things. Even if a little crusty from prior use... spray oven cleaner will fix that. Would also look for a "good" old cast iron skillet... Lodge or Griswold... NO made in China. Maybe buy 1-2 nice non-stick pans. I have to recommend Calphalon... becasue they have a GREAT return/replace policy. Bought 2 pices set at BB&B (I think) SEVERAL years ago... less than $50 for the 2. They were starting to be a little non-non-stick. Just sent them back... NO receipts... and got brand new replacements in a week or 2. A decent sized stock pot... for pasta, soup, chili, etc.
For the little stuff... veggie peeler, spatulas, wooden spoons... I'd head right to the Dollar Store.
Have made a few GREAT small appliance finds... Cuisinart food processor, KA stand and hand mixer, etc. Even if you don't find a higher end cast off... if it's clean and works, will fit the bill till you can upgrade.
For things to actually buy... get a few good knives! A good size chef's knife, nice paring knife and something in middle (size-wise). Places like Home Goods are good for making nice finds.
re: kseiverd
Me, too -- I've seen some pretty nice stuff at Goodwill and Salvation Army -- ask the store staff if they know what days they put out new goods. (I've also given some pretty nice stuff to Goodwill and Salvation Army!)
...and I have an entire block full of Wusthof knives that I picked up for a song at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Ross, and Home Goods.
Tramontina Try-Play from Walmart.com is a good place to start for reasonable quality pots and pans. Stainless steel can be a love or hate thing if you don't know how to cook in stainless steel. I started with a Sitram Professerie set from Ebay at a similar price point and it has served me well. Today, I would probably replace the Sitram with Tramontina FWIW.
Get a medium to large "plastic" cutting board from your local Wal-Mart. You need these to protect your knives and counter tops. While you are there, get a "3 piece" knife starter set with a parer, chef's knife, and bread knife.
Then you get into electrics. I love my KitchenAide mixer. You appear to be a baker so, watch for sales and discount coupons and save up for a the "right" mixer the first time instead of a bunch of inferior ones over time. This is worth waiting for.
Things a lot of people buy and ones I don't really use much:
Electric can opener - I've got one on the counter (clutter) and use my Swing-A-Way manual can opener all the time. Blenders are another waste of space and money for most people. Unless you consume a lot of smoothies or through parties with blender drinks, pass on this one too.
Sliverware - Wal-Mart again. They sell "loose" forks, knives, spoons that are really pretty good for what they are. Skip the thin cheap 4 packs for $1 and look for the 3 piece sets that are $1.50. These are much heavier and are actually very good for everyday use.
Hit the TJ-Max, Tuesday Morning's, etc. for Jelly Roll pans, cookie sheets, etc. Chicago Metallic available on-line makes some very good bakeware for minimal money if you buy from somewhere on-line with free or cheap shipping.
Finally, Oxo kitchen tools. Buy one of the "large" packs on sale for ~$40 that has measuring cups, big spoons, etc. in it for a well rounded set of gadgets. Add a few Oxo "silicone" spatula's (I love the pancake and regular models) for flipping eggs, french toast, pancakes, etc. and you will be well prepared for most normal cooking needs.
re: Sid Post
I forgot about Oxo tools - all solidly made. On the cutting board front, I'd skip plastic and buy a little bamboo board. Aesthetically more pleasing and better for other reasons. (mildly bactericidal and pretty knife friendly). People have mentioned checking out consignment stores. Another place to check is auctions - I got an entire set of cut crystal glasses (about 50 pieces) at auction for $17 (yes $17 for antique perfect srystal glasses).
re: kagemusha49
kagemusha, what do you mean by auctions? Do you mean online auctions, like ebay, or do you mean the type of auctions like estate sales?
Also, I'm not sure where to find estate sales, etc., if you do mean those, so tips on learning where those types of auctions are would be appreciated. Thanks! Those cut crystal glasses sound like they were some find!
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
I mean estate sales - usually there are small auction houses that have regular auctions and estate sales. I'd google auctions or estate sales for Brooklyn and neighboring towns and boroughs. The same day we got the glasses I also bid on a cardboard box because I glimpsed something like fur - for $7 we got a mink a sable and a leather jacket! It did not hurt that the auction occurred during a snowstorm! (hint - go to auctions during playoff games and bad weather).
BTW have you been to Osteria Convivium in Brooklyn? Not cheap but very good!
I vote for IKEA as the best place to get almost everything you will need. They also carry large butcher block desk/table tops which can be cut to make great cutting boards.
Baking stone, toaster oven, a kitchenaid mixer, sheet pan with a cooling rack, digital scale, ove gloves, crockpot. If you can, go to a restaurant supply store or GFS if you have them. Also, check amazon. They have really cheap kitchen stuff. I got a big like 13 pc Cuisinart set for $130. Don't forget small things like a colander, potato peeler, can opener, thermometer, spatulas, tongs, whisks.
Buy the best you can afford for the things you'll use the most. Skimp on the other stuff.
A few years ago, Mark Bittman wrote an article on outfitting a kitchen for under $300 by buying everything from restaurant supply stores. I might quibble with a few of his choices, and Ikea might still be a cheaper (and better) option for some items, but it's worth a read.
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
How old are you Sara? Not trying to be intrusive but here's the thing. Your income will almost surely go up. Buy cheap stuff you don't absolutely hate and which won't make you sad to discard (or give away or sell) when you can afford to buy the good stuff. The truth is that a lot of the cheap stuff out there is almost as good as the expensive stuff - the manufacturers survive by exploiting that fact and selling premium stuff to folks with excess cash. That's why IKEA has made Ingvar Kamprad one of the richest people in the world as his store sells pretty darn good stuff (some of which lasts forever) to folks who aren't distracted by images - they have a pretty good cafeteria too!
re: kagemusha49
Early 20s, so hopefully my income will go up over the years! Thanks for the tip...all of the expensive things are packaged so nicely, but I'm sure you're right.
Also, just had Ikea food for the first time ever about a month ago...was pleasantly surprised at food quality, and the PRICE, oh, it was unbelievable!
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
<Early 20s>
<was pleasantly surprised at food quality, and the PRICE, oh, it was unbelievable!>
Ikea sells foods? Man, I have not been to one forever.
Yes, there are many high quality inexpensive cookware, and conversely low quality expensive cookware. I would definitely go with the "First, do no harm" rule. In other words, if you are going to spend a lot of money, then make sure it is worthy.
Inexpensive cookware also give you a chance to try out different things which you won't able to otherwise. For example, you may not able to afford an expensive enameled Dutch Oven (think Le Creuset) and a expensive stainless steel saute pan (think All-Clad), but you can the cheaper versions of the two. By going the less expensive route, then you get to try the two different style of cookware, and find out what you like and don't like from them.
You NEED a fire extinguisher and first-aid kit.
Knife nicks, hot plates, spilt oil...trust me.
It never hurts to have a "wish list" of fancy items. To wit: I wanted a copper pan. I finally found one with a retail price of $300 at TJ Maxx--marked down to $10.
My local Tuesday Morning has Viking immersion blenders with all the attachments (chopper, whisk, beaters, etc.) for dirt cheap. Also picked up my Le Crueset there for $40, having bought it on a day when they were offering 50% off things on the clearance rack.
I wish I could tell you what you really need in your kitchen, but for me, I've found it by trial and error. So there was some wasted money. You just have to get in there and start cooking, and over time, you'll figure out what you want.
Except for the fire extinguisher and first aid kit. You really need them.
Hi everyone! I don't know if anyone who posted previously will see this, but I just wanted to report back since I first posted. I have unfortunately been extremely busy with work and other things, so the apartment stuff has been put on hold a bit, but that said, I have been able to scrounge together the following things simply by asking around (so no money spent yet)!
box grater
set of stainless steel mixing bowls
set of pyrex mixing bowls (that will probably double as serving bowls for now)
heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet
tea kettle
paring knife
knife sharpener
and a few other things I can't think of right now! I just wanted to thank everyone for their replies, and once I start looking at thrift stores and sales and such, I will report back some more.
re: SarachkaInBrooklyn
Well done! You're off to a great start.

A fight to free themselves from Valley Center city limits ended in defeat today for some residents as Sedgwick County Commissioners struck down an annexation cancellation.
Residents in the Arrowhead Heights neighborhood, on the west side of Valley Center, were annexed into the city five years ago. Many of them have been battling to cancel the annexation ever since. So today's decision brought disappointment for them, after commissioners sided with the city.
"It's just a real disappointment that our government basically does not see our concerns," said resident Jan Groves.
They're concerned because they say when the roughly 100 homes in their area officially became part of Valley Center, their taxes increased and their public services declined drastically. Many residents cited road maintenance as a major problem, and some commissioners agreed.
"I do believe the city has not provided equal or greater service than what they were used to previously," said Commissioner Richard Ranzau.
But commissioners ruled regardless of quality, services were in fact provided. This, after the city brought forth documentation which it says shows it upheld its end of the deal.
"They are providing the services as called. It appears that they need to do better, they gave testimony that they're working on it to do better," said Commissioner Dave Unruh.
The annexation was upheld by a vote of three to two.

MONDAY, Jan. 20, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Happier seniors can look forward to greater mobility as they age than their gloomier peers, new research suggests.
The findings don't prove that happiness preserves mobility. However, "the research suggests that enjoyment of life contributes to healthier and more active old age," said study author Andrew Steptoe, director of the Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care at University College London. And it's not just because healthier people are happier and more energetic, he said.
The researchers, who study happiness and how it relates to life, wanted to understand the physical effects of happiness.
"We have previously shown that positive well-being and enjoyment of life are predictors of longer life," Steptoe said. "Older people who report greater enjoyment are less likely to die over the next five to eight years than those with lower enjoyment of life."
For this study, published Jan. 20 in CMAJ, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers tracked almost 3,200 men and women aged 60 and over in England. The participants took surveys designed to test their levels of well-being. For instance, they were asked if they enjoy the things they do, being in the company of other people and if they feel full of energy. They also responded to questions about their ability to handle day-to-day physical activities such as getting dressed and showering. Some took a test that measured how fast they walked.
Over the eight years of the study, only 4 percent of people who enjoyed life the most -- those in the top third of the total sample -- developed problems physically handling day-to-day activities, Steptoe said. But that number shot up to 17 percent among those who showed the least enjoyment -- the people in the bottom third.
Greater life satisfaction at the study's start was also associated with slower decline in walking speed, the researchers added.
"These associations could be due to many things: the people with greater enjoyment of life could be more affluent, have less physical illness or disability to start with, or have healthier lifestyles at the outset, and these factors could predict the changes in physical function over time," Steptoe said. "But what we found is that baseline health, economic circumstances and lifestyle explain only about half the association between enjoyment of life and deterioration in function. So there is more to it than that."
Steptoe said that less stress (and, potentially, more happiness) could contribute to better health by protecting the body from the harmful effects of stress hormones.
The research "suggests that among other things, we should think about the positive aspects of life and experience of older people," Steptoe said. "Not only are these important issues in themselves, they might have benefits in terms of physical function. These could in turn help us contain the spiraling costs of social and health care among older sectors of society."
James Maddux, a professor emeritus of psychology with the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., said the findings are convincing and reflect other research.
"Healthy people are usually happier, and happy people are usually healthier," he said.
However, he said, it's important to be cautious about the conclusions. "All we can conclude is some kind of relation between physical health and happiness and life satisfaction," Maddux noted. "The findings do not tell us whether a great sense of well-being results in improved health or whether improved health results in a greater sense of well-being."

310 West Broadway, 2nd floor, 212-965-3588
The SoHo Grand Hotel is owned by Hartz Mountain Industries, the real-estate giant that split off from the familiar pet-supplies company, and if the regal bronze dog statues aren't enough of a clue, the complimentary live goldfish available in every suite tell the tale: This place doesn't just tolerate animals—it adores them. On any given night, the spacious second-floor lounge plays host to furry companions from Pekingese poking out of Fendi bags to the occasional Newfoundland standing at attention. You would have to book a room to secure your dog a full-body pillow or a pedicure, but she can spend the evening wagging her tail next to your oversize armchair for the price of a $15 margarita or two, sometimes in the company of the pets of New Yorkers like Mariah Carey and Fran Drescher. Reassuringly, Randy, the head bouncer, insists that he's never had to intervene in any dog-on-dog—or even dog-on-cat—strife.

***** Public Policing in the 21st Century: Issues and Dilemmas in the U.S. and Canada. James F. Hodgson and Catherine Orban, Eds.; published by Criminal Justice Press, www.criminaljusticepress.com (Web); 277 pages; $35.
The years since September 11 have seen a proliferation of experts, organizations, seminars, overpriced conferences, and books all relating to terrorism. But Clifford Simonsen and Jeremy Spindlove, both of whom have academic and operational experience in the area, have updated one volume that truly stands out.
This work is a collection of ten essays on a diverse array of topics, from paramilitary policing to advocacy of battered women. Ten of the book's 11 contributors possess doctorates in sociology, criminal justice, or psychology; and they communicate their ideas clearly, making for a scholarly but highly readable work.
Several of the essays stand out. "The Challenge to Civil Rights and Liberty in Post 9/11 America," by William Burger, looks back to the Red Menace and the Palmer Raids of 1919 and 1920, and finds uncomfortable comparisons with the current climate in the United States. "Policing in the Information Age," by Ronald Stansfield, charts the transition from public to private policing.
"School Shootings and School Terrorist Attacks: Identification, Intervention, and Tactical Response," by David Stein, is an ambitious and wide-ranging essay that, with expansion, could make a good book in its own right.
The most interesting and disturbing essay is "The Police, the Public, and the Post-Liberal Politics of Fear: Paramilitary Policing post-9/11," by Stephan Muzzatti. He sees an erosion of civil liberties since 9-11, citing a Department of Justice requirement that each state conduct a threat assessment. As part of it, local police were asked to "identify up to 15 individuals or groups designated 'potential threat elements' driven by 'political, religious, racial, environmental [or] special interest[s].'"
The state assessments were used to divide nearly $4 billion in federal grants, a sure method of discouraging a nil return. Colorado's list of 3,200 people in 208 organizations included members of Amnesty International and the Quakers American Friends Service Committee.
Muzzatti's closing discussion constitutes a blunt, distressing, and insightful analysis of the condition of democratic society in the United States today. After reading this essay, you will never look at a SWAT team or riot squad the same way.
Anyone studying or working in criminal justice, law enforcement, or private security needs to understand the challenges of providing security while ensuring that civil rights and freedoms are protected. This book offers worthwhile insights on the issue.

GREENSBORO, Ga. --- Led by tournament runner-up Nicholas Reach, the 12th-ranked Georgia men's golf team placed fifth Sunday in the weather-shortened Linger Longer Invitational at the Great Waters Course at Reynolds Plantation.
The tournament originally was slated for 54 holes, with 36 holes on Saturday and 18 on Sunday. But inclement weather affected Saturday's action, which ultimately was suspended due to darkness. On Sunday, the teams completed the second round and the tournament ended there.
The Bulldogs completed the second round on Sunday at 3-over-par 291 for a total of 6-over 582. Alabama captured team honors at 16-under 560.
Reach shot a 2-under 70 on Sunday to wind up at 6-under 138 -- just 1 shot behind medalist Cory Whitsett of Alabama. A year ago at the Linger Longer, Whitsett topped Reach in a playoff for medalist honors.
Senior T.J. Mitchell and junior Keith Michell each signed for a 1-over 73 on Sunday, while junior Brian Carter and freshman Lee McCoy posted 3-over 75s.
Keith Mitchell came in 10th at 1-under 143, followed by T.J. Mitchell at 5-over 149, Carter at 8-over 152 and McCoy at 10-over 154.
Playing as individuals, junior Mookie DeMoss (1-over 73 Sunday) finished at 1-over 145, junior Michael Cromie (even-par 72) wound up at 6-over 150 and sophomore Sepp Straka (8-over 80) came in at 12-over 156.
The Bulldogs will return to action April 6-7 in the Insperity Augusta State Invitational.

Secrets To Earning Cash Online REVEALED
If you have been working on a daily job for the most part of your life and would like to give something completely new a try then, earning cash online could very well be an option for you to consider. If you are also a part-timer, a work from home mom, or just someone who is interested to know more about earning cash online, stay with me as you are about to discover just how simple and easy it is to get going.
Though, I'm going to be honest and frank with you, making tons of money (we're talking 5 figures and above) isn't something that will happen overnight, as you can already tell that success can often be a slow thing but always remember that the small steps are the ones that will help drive you forward even further. Even if you're just earning $25 bucks at the beginning, you are still earning!
First, you'll need to determine what is it that you're most proficient at. What are you able to offer to the online community? Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to have a totally unique talent to be able to contribute.
Lets say for an example, I have been washing dishes my whole life and have developed a certain level of skill at washing dishes, I could write about the proper techniques of washing dishes like, "how to wash dishes like a pro dish washer" or just share my knowledge and expertise of dish washing with some dish washing community on Facebook.
The point I'm trying to make is that, it doesn't matter whatever skill that you have or whatever skill level that you're at. If you have been doing something for a while, that usually means that you have valuable experience that is worth sharing. You'll be surprised to see just how many people are willing to pay just for a little piece of your experience in a particular subject so I encourage you to share with the world! :)
The Secret To Earning Cash Online Is..
One of the best way that I have found to be working for me is to share my knowledge and experience by writing on a blog. That way, I will only be required to drive a high traffic of people who are looking for the answers that I have available on my blog.. So, instead of sharing and talking with them one by one, I'm able to reach a whole lot more audience with the message available on my blog. This method is known as leverage, it is a method used by the rich in order for them to NOT have to continuously work for their money.
Still the trick is, how do you get more people who are looking for your answers to reach your blog posts? Trust me when I say this, once you figure out how, you'll be amazed at how simple it is to start earning cash online. Of course, you'll also want the traffic to come on autopilot as that is the whole point of this method of leveraging. So how do you accomplish just that? Simply by utilizing these blogging methods.
Now that you KNOW the step by step process on the method of getting traffic and leveraging (which is really the only thing you need to know), but of course you'd also like to know how can you start earning cash online through blogging, right? Well I can't say for the rest of the other bloggers out there but how I personally got started making money is available for if you read this article.

In 2007, I adopted a registered Arabian through Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society. I am grateful that this wonderful organization cared for my sweet, rescued mare until she found her forever home. I have since become a member of the organization and volunteer with them when I can. This group is amazing - helping, feeding, healing those equines who have been all but forgotten. BEHS maintains a solid foster program to house these horses until they, too, find their forever homes. I continue to be in awe of the individuals who are involved with this group. They do all they can to ensure the well-being of as many horses as they can because they care. You can't ask for more!

Feeling every bit as deranged as this name would suggest, the ISK went on the prowl in Night 1 and was "lucky" enough to find a bored, despondent character wandering the dark alley behind the Zip Trip in South Hillyard, complaining about how he never got any special abilities and nobody liked his bone-chillingly-horrendous avatar. After the ISK bashed his head in with a pair of cymbals and replaced his eyeballs with primate testicles, the corpse of Dan Lambskin (regular townie) was barely recognizable.
But that was only half the "fun" had on the part of evil in Night 1. The mafia set out in force when darkness fell, and they had a simple mission: to silence the second-brashest member of Spokane. Even though they specialize in the business of silencing all opposition through fear tactics, they simply couldn't shut this native Canadian up if they kept him alive. As the town cleared the sleep from its eyes and looked out onto the beautiful 6-lane arterial that is Market St., they were horrified to find a body devoid of its vocal chords with an ambigram of the phrase "I gots to be me" burned into its chest. This was the end of Mookie (regular townie) as they knew him.
Police Chief Flash Hodges says things aren't dire at this point, as there is still a 5:3 ratio of townies to scum (counting the ISK), but another night like the last one and the town could be crippled.

Hi SP CSS gurus,
I am seeking some advice/pointers about a good way to accomplish a design. You can see from here, what I am trying to get:
You can also see that to get the text inside the image, I set the width and height to specific pixels. I feel like that's not a great way to accomplish this, and I wondered if anyone had some advice.
Question 2: in the above link provided, the beginning of the text actually overlaps with the border image. Can anyone explain that to me?
Sorry, basic questions, I'm still a tables dependent designer trying to move to css dependent.
(And how do I vertical align center...just kidding ;) )

Local leaders and citizens have been working together to build livable, resilient, and prosperous communities in America for centuries. Communities today connect across borders to form a vital network of our nation's people. And our neighborhoods, streets, schools, and infrastructure depend on the health of the natural systems that support us. The health and well being of our natural systems is changing on a global and local scale.
Climate change is a global issue that has come home to roost, as impacts become more apparent in communities across America on a street-by-street, neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. Now that these impacts are visible from our kitchen windows, Americans can no longer dismiss climate change as a remote possibility in a far-off land.
Fortunately, local communities have emerged as leaders in promoting positive change in climate action. American cities, counties, and states are at the forefront of the movement to address climate change globally.
Many communities have yet to begin local climate action planning. Solving climate change may hinge on increasing the ability of local leaders and citizens to make constructive, values-based choices in how they consume energy, purchase goods and services, dispose of waste, and get from place to place within their communities.
Solutions are available to us now, and now is the time for community leaders to build a better future for America's people. We are ready.
Learn more about how climate and communities are connected
What is FutureReady
As part of the cross-sector MomentUs initiative, FutureReady is a coalition of diverse community leaders and organizations from across the nation united in the effort to advance climate solutions at the local level and to protect communities from the effects of climate change. FutureReady is a program platform that empowers local and regional leaders to maximize the opportunities climate solutions bring to American people and their communities. Leaders and organizations from American cities, counties, and states have joined MomentUs and are invited to leverage the FutureReady program.
Who is Leading
FutureReady is led by a growing network of local leaders under the MomentUs initiative at the city, county, and regional levels who have made advancing climate solutions an important part of their leadership. FutureReady leadership also includes activists and organizations that serve local leaders through training, capacity building, program support, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

Today Octagon is also one of the biggest corporate sports-marketing consultants. Among its 500 clients are BMW and MasterCard. The job: build strategies for companies to reach their target audiences through sponsorships, athlete endorsements, Web and television advertising, and more.
"Sports sponsorship has become very well recognized as a way to deliver for companies and brands a unique audience," says Picciotto. Whether Octagon's client is an athlete or a Fortune 500 company, says Picciotto, "we're all about brands."
The media end of the sports business operates largely out of New York and Los Angeles. But Washington, thanks largely to AOL's influence, is stepping up in new media.
Jimmy Lynn is at the heart of this. In the late 1990s, AOL execs hunting for new subscribers to its Internet service decided that sports programming would attract men from middle America and the South. "They said, 'Let's go do sports deals,' " Lynn says.
Lynn had come to AOL Sports in 1995 after stints in radio, cable-TV sports, and an apprenticeship with Charlie Brotman, the longtime Washington public-relations man. At AOL, Lynn headed a team that watched over the company's deals with the professional leagues. He met regularly with league officials, television executives, team owners, agents, and athletes. And he made a point of introducing many of them to Ted Leonsis, an AOL exec with whom he'd bonded over a shared love of Georgetown basketball.
These deals helped AOL Sports become a rival to ESPN.com, the dominant sports Web site. But after its merger with Time Warner, AOL changed its focus, and many of the leagues pulled away to build their own Internet presences.
AOL alumni haven't forgotten the power of sports on the Web. James Bankoff, a former AOL programming exec, has started SB Nation, a DC-based network of more than 200 blogs that cover professional teams. Carlos Silva—a tennis star at Potomac's Churchill High School who ran programming for AOL's broadband division—now is a Bethesda-based executive with Universal Sports, which delivers Olympics-related sports coverage via TV, the Internet, satellite radio, and mobile devices.
Lynn left AOL last year, cracked open his Rolodex, and set up shop as a consultant. Raised in Japan, he's working with a couple of prominent Tokyo families to develop sports-related businesses, and he plans to introduce the families to Leonsis. One of them is interested in owning a sports team. Lynn is also working with American companies that want to reach Asian markets, particularly through fantasy sports on mobile devices. The possibilities: fantasy basketball in China, soccer in Europe, cricket in India.
"There's a real business out there," Lynn says. "And there's money to be made for people who can figure it out."
Who's Who
Here are other players in Washington's sports-business industry:
Jeff Austin, Octagon agent. A former star tennis player at UCLA and a Donald Dell alum, Austin handles Chris Paul, David Robinson, and other NBA players. He's married to fitness guru Denise Austin; his sister, Tracy, was a teen tennis sensation in the late 1970s.
Adisa Bakari, Dow Lohnes. Represents 14 NFL players, including Maurice Jones-Drew (third-highest-paid running back in the league) and Matt Forte.
Charlie Brotman, a legendary sports PR man who also handled public-announcing duties for the Senators.
Steve Disson, a ProServ alum who promotes and produces ice-skating events for television and traveling tours.
David Falk, a superagent who has negotiated some of the highest salaries in pro-basketball history. Once a protégé of Dell's, Falk signed Michael Jordan in 1984 with a fledgling Oregon company called Nike. Falk split with ProServ in 1992, taking Jordan with him, and eventually sold his agency for $100 million. He still handles a few NBA players, having reopened his firm in 2007.
Sara Fornaciari, who runs her own event-management firm in Bethesda that specializes in charity sports events. The first female intern in the Washington Post sports department, she joined Donald Dell in 1973 and became a force in women's tennis, representing Tracy Austin and Zina Garrison, among others. In the 1990s, Fornaciari served as a top executive with the Women's Tennis Association.
Abe Frank, NCAA lobbyist. A former Citigroup lobbyist, Frank works Congress and federal agencies on issues relating to Internet gambling, drug testing of athletes, and more.
Jeff Fried, an agent who handles a few pro athletes (Steve Francis, Ty Lawson) but is chiefly known as a boxing promoter. He's credited with behind-the-scenes work to pull off last year's debut of the EagleBank Bowl college football game in Washington.
Meredith Geisler, former Advantage International and Fila USA executive, now a sports-marketing consultant.
Peter Hill and Bob Morris, founders of Billy Casper Golf, a Vienna company that manages and develops golf courses.
Karen Irish, lobbyist for the US Olympic Committee.
Gregg Levy, who heads Covington & Burling's litigation practice and, with Bruce Wilson, its sports practice. NFL owners took a long look at Levy, the league's outside counsel, to succeed Paul Tagliabue as commissioner before picking Roger Goodell, a league executive. Later this month, he argues for the NFL before the Supreme Court in a case that commentators say may inoculate the league against antitrust attacks.
Lamell McMorris, Perennial Sports & Entertainment. The longtime civil-rights advocate and lobbyist is also the lead negotiator for unions for NBA referees and Major League Baseball umpires.
David Osnos, elder statesman of the Arent Fox sports practice and consigliere to Wizards owner Abe Pollin. Arent Fox has more than a dozen partners who do stadium acquisition, development, and financing; naming-rights deals; player contracts; and more. The firm serves as counsel to several pro teams, including Bob Johnson's Charlotte Bobcats, the Miami Dolphins, and DC United.
Kevin Plank, founder of Under Armour. While a football player at the University of Maryland, Plank created shirts that wicked away sweat. The company he founded in his grandmother's Georgetown townhouse is now a $700-million giant in apparel.
Erik Rydholm, the DC-based producer behind Pardon the Interruption, ESPN's hit talk show with Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon.
Bill Schweitzer, Baker Hostetler. Major League Baseball lobbyist whose firm has been involved with professional baseball for nearly a century; its lawyers drew up the American League's charter.
J.C. Watts, a former congressman and Oklahoma Sooners star who lobbies for the Bowl Championship Series.
Lyle Yorks, Proactive Sports Management USA. The Georgetown agency of this former University of Virginia soccer star handles top US soccer players here and abroad.
Peter Zern, a media and finance specialist at Covington & Burling, named by Sports Business Journal one of the most influential young people in sports business. He has represented NASCAR in media deals with ESPN, Fox, and Turner broadcast networks.

Some disabled Omahans are concerned about possibly losing their rides as Metro considers revamping its bus routes.
Emily Brayman is blind and she relies on MOBY transportation at least twice a week to pick up prescriptions, groceries and other essentials.
But MOBY only operates where there is a bus route nearby and Metro is looking at consolidating and changing routes, especially in West Omaha were ridership is down.
That means Brayman could lose her MOBY service if the route in her area is eliminated.
She said, "I'm home now but in three months I may be paying taxis or friends and nobody should have to pay $15 just to go to the store."
Metro Executive Director Curt Simon said, "For someone who is having their service discontinued, we'll try to mitigate that as best we can. There may be ways we can do that - may not be. But we'll try to do a personal reach-out to any of the MOBY clients."
Nothing is final. Metro will be holding a forum in mid-July to get public input on which routes should be changed or eliminated and which should stay.

For some kids, Halloween is all about the candy...and eating as much of it as possible. Help keep your kids from consuming too many sugary treats with the following tips. By instilling the habits of nutritious eating young, you ensure everyone has a healthy and fun Halloween for years to come.
For parents, Halloween offers a wonderful opportunity to moderate kids' sweet indulgences with messages about nutrition and exercise. Here are a few suggestions to help parents strike a balance between holiday fun and healthy activity:
New "Trick or Treating" Traditions
- Eat before treat. Serve a healthy and nutritious dinner before your children set out for a night of candy-collecting. Your kids will be happier, and it will help reduce the temptation to devour candy at each "trick or treat" stop. During the meal, take the opportunity to discuss "trick or treat" safety, as well as the importance of healthy diet and lifestyle choices.
- Sort and save. Allow your kids to enjoy some of their Halloween bounty. Then work with them to portion out two or three treats in small bags. Create a weeks-worth of bags to accompany nutritious school lunches or to serve as after-school snacks. Repeat the ritual over the weekend for the following week.
Sweet Snack Alternatives
- Mix things up. To give candy a healthy punch, consider making your own trail mix. Combine raisins, peanuts and even cereal with your child's favorite candy or chocolate treat.
- Practical pairings and portion control. Try pairing caramels with an apple or a snack-sized candy bar with a banana. Encourage kids to pair their favorite sweets with healthy options. Most candies now come in bite-sized snack sizes. For the ones that don't, consider breaking into sections to moderate your kid's candy intake. In addition to these suggestions for a happy and healthy Halloween, following are some general guidelines created in partnership with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP):
General Health and Nutrition Guidelines
- Never say never. Allow sweets or treats, such as candy and other snacks, in moderation rather than eliminate them. Children who learn the importance of balanced eating will be better-equipped to manage their own diets as adults.
- Give children a choice. Provide your kids with plenty of healthy alternatives. Focusing only on what your children cannot eat does not teach them how to make healthy choices.
- Practice what you preach. Be a role model. Be active yourself and demonstrate the importance of a healthy diet. If you eat right and exercise regularly, it will be easier to get your children to do the same.

A joint effort between the two village groups, the concerts are presented the first weekend of each month, September through May, with Pemberville presenting on Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the historic Opera House and Grand Rapids on Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m.
The shows feature entertainers from across the United States who will bring a variety of music including the Blues, Swing, contemporary piano, Folk and Bluegrass.
The 2013 schedule for Pemberville includes:
Tickets are $10. Information is available at www.pembervilleoperahouse.org, www.grandrapidsartscouncil.org, or by calling Carol Bailey at 419-287-4848.
The exhibit commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie, one of the largest naval battles of the War of 1812 in which nine U.S. vessels captured six ships of Great Britain's Royal Navy. It includes paintings, prints, sculpture, artifacts, letters and music.
One of the prominent works on view includes "Perry's Victory on Lake Erie" by marine painter Thomas Birch – a work that depicts a critical moment just before the surrender of the British ships.
The naval engagement, led by Commander Oliver Hazard Perry, was a watershed moment in which the Americans reclaimed the lake and Perry became a national hero. A squadron of British ships had never before been captured; as Perry famously reported, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."
Admission is free. Visit www.toledomusem.org for more information.
The two-month exhibit will be on display from November into early January at the Way Public Library, 101 E. Indiana Ave. in Perrysburg.
The exhibit is open to all honorably discharged veterans of any era or branch of service in any media or genre of visual or literary art. Submissions can be visual arts only, literary arts only, or a combination of both.
This year is the beginning of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, therefore Vietnam veterans are especially encouraged to participate. The show is also open to entries from family members of veterans and/or deceased veterans. These entries may honor the veteran or be entries of their works or that of their late veteran.
A printable application is available on pages 17 and 18 of the Mid 2013 PRIZM Newsletter, found on the homepage of the PRIZM website at www.MyPrizm.com. The participation fee is $10. The deadline to apply is Oct. 15.
The event will include a craft/vendor fair, along with a Mom 2 Mom sale, face painting, a pumpkin contest and more. Nelson Farms will be set up outside with pumpkins and gourds.
The festival – a celebration of Lake Erie and the Maumee River – will include informational booths about the region's watershed and water bodies, live music and storytelling, a Lake Erie Perch fry, boat rides on the Sandpiper, an exclusive Surgeon Ale from the Maumee Bay Brewing Co., and tours of the future Middlegrounds Metropark.
Proceeds raised will benefit Lake Erie Waterkeeper, a 501c3, specifically their programs intended to re-introduce sturgeon into the Maumee River and Lake Erie, as has been done successfully in other Great Lakes areas.
Admission is $5. Attendees that arrive by bicycle or TARTA will receive $2 off admission.
The event will be held on Thursday, Sept. 12 from 1-3 p.m. at the Pemberville Area Senior Center, 220 Cedar St., Pemberville.
Those 50 and over are encouraged to participate in these unique challenges such as the "Chocolate Unicorn." where participants will be seated and they will attempt to stack five chocolate snack cakes on their foreheads; or the "Breakfast Scrabble," where participants will have put the front of a cereal box back together after it was cut into 16 pieces.
Registered participants will have a chance to participate in all of the events with an opportunity to win the "Minute to Win It" championship title.
The service will be offered Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights from 6 p.m. through 6 a.m. While AAA encourages partygoers to designate a driver if they plan to consume alcohol at Labor Day celebrations, the Tipsy Tow service is available to assist those who find themselves in an impaired situation and need to get them and their vehicles home safely.
To take advantage of Tipsy Tow, drivers should call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357), state that they need a "Tipsy Tow" and provide their name, home address, phone number and vehicle location.
Tipsy Tow provides a one-way ride for the driver and his or her vehicle at no cost for up to 10 miles. Services will not be provided to motorists requesting a tow to another drinking establishment or to a destination other than their home. A tow to a hotel may be allowed if the motorist is, or plans to become, a guest.
Other services that will not be provided as part of the Tipsy Tow program include requests for a vehicle start, flat tire change, gas delivery and/or taxi service. For trips longer than 10 miles, motorists can expect to be charged the towing company's standard rate.
It's a Labor Day tradition – the Sandusky County Restorers of Power will present their 25th annual Antique Tractor & Engine Show Aug. 31, Sept. 1 and Sept. 2 at White Star Park in Gibsonburg. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)
In addition, a 25th anniversary quilt made by The Hayes Ohio Star Quilters will be on display.

Finches' personalities 'shown by head colour'
Gouldian finches have different personalities depending on the colour of their heads, researchers have found.
Scientists from Liverpool John Moores University and The Royal Veterinary College investigated the "highly sociable" Australian birds.
The team set the finches a series of behavioural tests to understand the purpose of their bright appearance.
They found that red-headed finches were more aggressive, while black-headed birds were bolder and took more risks.
The findings are published in the journal Animal Behaviour.
"Our idea is that the colour signals their behavioural tactics," said lead researcher Leah Williams.
She explained that the research also suggests that "bolder" black-headed finches may act as "leaders" in a group.
Gouldian finches are found in open, subtropical woodland and are known for their colourful plumage.
In the wild, the majority of the birds have black or red heads, although a very small number are yellow-headed.
When Gouldian finches first hatch "they're actually all an olive brown colour," Ms Williams told BBC Nature.
"After their first moult, when they're a couple of months old, that's when they get their colour."
Colour communication in nature:
- Adult Phayre's leaf monkeys are a dull shade of grey but they are born bright orange so that it is easy for the adults to keep an eye on the babies
- Humboldt squid are sometimes called "the red devil" because of their ability to flash red when angered or excited
- The panther chameleon of Madagascar communicates by changing colour. A chameleon can switch from cool green to angry red in an instant
To test for aggressiveness, the team put out a feeder for two hungry birds, but with only enough room for one to feed.
The red-headed finches displayed a more "fiery personality" than their black-headed peers, by displacing each other from the feeder and threatening other birds with an open beak.
"The black-headed birds stay away from the red-headed birds because they're signalling that they're aggressive, and this stops them getting into an escalated conflict," said Ms Williams.
Black-headed birds, however, were found to be greater "risk-takers" around predators.
Researchers presented the finches with a cardboard cut-out silhouette of a hawk. After fleeing from the feeder, the black-headed finches returned faster than their red-headed peers after the "danger" had passed.
Black-headed finches were also quicker in approaching unfamiliar objects, such as bundles of string prepared by researchers. This showed them to be bolder than their red-headed counterparts.
The research team now plans to find out if it is the birds' head colour that influences their personality, or whether it could be the other way round.
"The next step is to find out which birds associate with which," said Ms Williams.
"Do reds hang out with blacks and do they do better for that?"
The study was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
