Piedmont, Italy
There have been a small pause in my sewing activity, but luckily here comes the end of the world and I desperately needed a new dress to celebrate it accordinly.
I liked the simple cut of the dress that opens possibilities for future variations. I was looking for emerald green fabric like in the magazine but could only find this one in pine green colour. I had to adjust the pattern for a better fit. Dress is with lining.

Because the calls were coming in over an unencrypted line, Fortas and Johnson used a variety of ad hoc codes in an attempt to disguise at least to some degree the topics of their conversations. Part way through, the call is gatecrashed by some uninvited guests, and Fortas tries desperately to get their attention and get them off the line.

Whither the Travis Letter?
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

By Jerry Patterson, Texas Land Commissioner
AUSTIN -- On March 8, 2013, the William B. Travis "Victory or Death" Letter will return to Austin.
In its 13-day stay at the Alamo, this faded 177-year-old letter touched the lives of tens of thousands of Texans -- and non-Texans -- from around the world. Old and young waited up to five hours in the morning chill and blazing afternoon sun. There were few complaints.
Rather, the opportunity to see such a patriotic letter in such a historic location -- the place where it was created -- moved many to tears. Children, lulled to sleep by a long wait, were often awoken just to see the letter, so that they would remember it later in life when they might understand its importance.
Yet, as it is placed on the big blue truck and once again flanked by state troopers on its trip to Austin, the Travis Letter returns to an uncertain future.
Over the last few weeks, opinions about its fate were as numerous as those who waited in line. Some said it should stay at the Alamo permanently, while others believed seeing the letter once in a lifetime is good enough.
The answer to this issue rests with legislators, who ultimately have the power to decide the letter's fate.
The larger issue is the long-term effect of this event on the Alamo and Texas history.
For the first time in a long while, Texans saw the Alamo in a new light. The Alamo was seen not only as a tourist destination and photo backdrop, but as a place where history actually happened. A place where men like Travis lived and died like heroes.
While well known, Travis was but one player on the Alamo stage. Other names like Juan Seguin, Father Olivares, Edward Everett or Clara Driscoll might be utterly unknown to Texans but are just as crucial to the Alamo story.
If there is to be any aftereffect of the Travis Letter event -- and I think there are many -- one has to be a new appreciation for the history that the Alamo represents.
It must again be seen as the crossroads of Texas history. Not just the location of a single battle in 1836, but as the very cornerstone of Texas. As one of the first Spanish missions, San Antonio de Valero set the stage for all that was to eventually become Texas.
As the ongoing World Heritage Nomination process proves, the Alamo has a regional, national and, yes, international importance.
Yet how many wandering through Alamo Plaza today know that they are standing where the foundations of Texas were laid?
Therefore, as the Travis Letter returns to the State Archives to be placed in a folder in a darkened, undisclosed location, we are left to consider its impact.
For now, the letter accomplished the very same goal that Travis intended in 1836. It inspired everyone who read it. It reminded us all that freedom is not free and that when it comes to defending liberty, some times the only choice is Victory or Death.
God Bless Texas.
JERRY PATTERSON was re-elected to a third term as Texas Land Commissioner in 2010 and is responsible for managing state assets, investments and mineral rights worth billions of dollars on behalf of the schoolchildren of Texas. He is a retired U.S. Marine, Vietnam veteran and former state senator.

The God Who's Still There
Why Few Mistake Liberal Religion for Christianity
In his April 6 article, "Ejecting from the Church," published on the American Spectator's website, Mark Tooley notes "the liberal--controlled United Church of Christ (UCC) has unveiled its latest television ad, which features an intolerant and presumably conservative church ejecting an 'African-American mother,' 'a gay couple, an Arab-American, [and] a person using a walker.'"
Tooley quotes UCC President John Thomas's complaint that "there is the generalized sense in the culture that Christianity means a relatively conservative portrait of the Gospel. . . . What people see on television, they hear on the radio, is a conservative to more right-wing view of politics and religion in general."
President Thomas is, I think, correct when he observes that liberal religion is not viewed in the culture in general as "regular" Christianity. I am often surprised at the widespread assumption that professors of religion are conservative in bent, or that those who wish to enter the ministry and are going or have gone to seminary are motivated by essentially conservative opinions, when so often the opposite is the case—or that liberal churches, simply because they are churches, are home to a traditionalist mindset. Some of this must be related to the notion of the Church as Establishment, as an institution with reliably identifiable values that have given it success and proved of some worth to society over time. What is interesting here is President Thomas's perceptive comment that those values are normally perceived as conservative.
I doubt, however, this is occasioned by the prominence of conservative Christianity on television and radio. Liberal religion has its own media prominences. Its existence, at least as a religious voice against religious conservatism, seems to be generally known, but, as Dr. Thomas perceives, it has been unsuccessful in convincing most people that it is anything but minority resistance to essential religion, which is by nature conservative.
This common understanding of "essential religion," I suggest, arises from two sources far deeper than the media could influence, the idea of God itself and the idea of religion that follows it. God is rooted in human consciousness as the One with whom we have to do, and as such appears irreducibly in the common mind as Creator, hence a lawgiver (the first laws that concern us being given with creation). While God may also be merciful, he by definition stands over against man as someone whose nature, expressed in the first instance in his laws, cannot be dictated by human preferences or opinions. Nor, if he exists at all, can he possibly be a nice, liberal God, given the suffering and death in the world.
Since it is clear that liberal religion challenges traditional notions about God, particularly as someone who has given laws religious liberals think unfair and wish to change, there is consequently a general understanding that they have had to alter the definition of "God" to accommodate their convictions about what he should be—but which he very likely is not. Along with this comes a general understanding of the riskiness and futility of this exercise in redefinition—and of the corresponding character of the churches in which this operation is attempted.
The Biblical God
The "conservative" God, while opposable, is impossible to eradicate. He is, as we might say today, hard-wired into human consciousness as such, and in such a way that in order to oppose him, liberal religion must be at constant pains to obscure, denigrate, or circumvent him. The advertisement referenced above is a fine example of this. Its message is that the God of conservatives is cruel, arbitrary, and unjust.
The reason it won't work to advance religious liberalism is that this corresponds quite well to an understanding of God natural to humanity—along with the intuition that because he is God he has the right to appear this way to us. The biblical God, covered in blood, is plausible; the liberal God is not. What we have in the liberals' tireless pronouncements against conservative religion is protest against the fearsome and not-to-be-trifled-with God who haunts them not only here, but in general human consciousness, and will not go away.
The idea of true religion as commonly understood, in any environs where this advertisement can hope to be understood, is therefore not only the worship and service of God, but of this particular God. While the average unchurched person may have a profound distaste for church attendance, perhaps for a number of very understandable reasons, these are nearly all based upon what we might call anthropological rather than theological objections.
If the God of the common notion exists, if he is worthy of worship and service, then it had best be done according to his own self-definition, if he has given any, and any prescriptions that may go with it. One may do his best to ignore this God, or may acknowledge him occasionally, and perhaps guiltily, outside the context of "organized religion," but, once again, if he exists, he is unlikely to be the God of the religious liberals.
Smiley Faith
Thus the natural constituency of liberal churches is a small and select group: Religious people who are in active opposition to the God not only of traditional religion but of common God-consciousness. The result in the liberal denominations is a phenomenon analogous to the population decline in first-world countries. Those who have retained their religiosity while opposing the old, exclusivist God have not reproduced themselves at a level sufficient to replace their churches' die-off.
The chief reason for this reproductive incompetence, I suggest, is that the natural result of acceptance of the liberal gospel is not the adoption of liberal religion, but actual or practical atheism, for which church membership is optional. The liberals have produced a God who, once believed in, is soon discovered unworthy of the bother by all but a certain kind of religious -hobbyist—a Cheshire cat God, whose body has long since disappeared leaving nothing but an ingratiating smile—a United Church of Christ kind of God, who hasn't the strength of character to kick anybody out of anywhere, much less one of his churches.
Most people, most men in particular, simply haven't the enthusiasm for religion to talk themselves into belief in this deity, or to take up churchgoing as a form of protest against the God they already know.

Back in 12.04,, all items that had messaging menu integration are shown in the messaging menu. However, in 12.10, this isn't the case. 3rd party items aren't showing up in the Messaging Menu. Well, at least for me. I've only got Empathy, Gwibber, and the Webapps. What I'd like to do is add Polly to the Messaging Menu instead of Gwibber (I already uninstalled Gwibber), hide the webapps when they're not active and enable some of the 3rd party problems that I have installed. How can this be done with the least fuss? Also, is it possible to do through a GUI?

Holy Cow. This post inadvertently turned crazy long. I need to hire an editor to help me say things a bit more succinctly. Sorry. Stick with this post only if you have some time to spare. Or if you know and love me in real life and fear I might ask you if you read it. Just kidding.
It frustrates me for my kids to be unreasonably fearful of things or experiences. (Of course I get to be the judge of what's "unreasonable".)
Ryan, being my first child and therefore somewhat of a guinea pig, was unfortunately "pushed" into doing some things he most certainly didn't want to do.
The first time we visited the beach, Ryan was not quite two years old and he was content to stay about 50 yards from the water, playing in the sand. He didn't want anything to do with the actual ocean. Wouldn't even put a toe in the wet stuff.
This would not do. I knew that if I could convince him to try it he would love it! My heart was set on seeing him gleefully running from the waves just as they started to lap at his toes! That's what happens on beach vacations!
After all my verbal coercion failed to convince him, I finally just picked him up (kicking and screaming and obviously scared to death) and stood ankle deep in the water with him. Eventually he would calm down, right? Eventually he would trust me, right? Nope.
He spent the rest of that day on the beach avoiding me, running for the safety of his Dad any time I got close to him.
He never did get wet on that trip.
And I'm left to wonder if he would have eventually warmed up to the ocean if allowed to do so on his own time. Probably so.
I was disappointed because I knew he would have fun if he just tried it.
But I was also frustrated that he wouldn't trust me. I realize the ocean is loud....and big...and was completely foreign to him....but I was telling him it was safe! That I would hold him tight the entire time! That he would be fine and have a great time! I wanted him to believe me. I wanted my words to be enough to help him overcome his fear. "Mommy is telling you it's fun and safe. Why won't you try the water with me?" (Yes, he was a teeny toddler, who didn't even understand the concept of "safe". I was a brand new mom with lots to learn.)
Since that trip I have learned a lot. It takes some major restraint, but I've learned to give my kids the time they need to try new things. A few summers ago at the pool, it was all I could do not to peel Ryan's arms from around my neck. He wanted to be held...I wanted him to try swimming with his arm floaties...but I couldn't convince him. So, he stayed around my neck. And by this summer, he's a little fish, diving to get things off the bottom of the pool. Without the trauma of me forcing him into it.
Since becoming a parent, I realize how often I act like an untrusting toddler. God speaks, and I respond like an untrusting child.
"Go and make disciples of all nations...."
I sure like it here in my nice, safe home in Lubbock.
"Sing to the Lord! Proclaim his salvation day after day."
I want people to be able to relate to me. I don't want to be that person who is always being super spiritual.
"Train up your children in the way they should go. Teach them my commands when you are at home, on the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
I need Sponge Bob to entertain the kids again this afternoon so I can get some things done around the house.
"In humility, consider others needs above your own."
I really don't have time for this phone call from a friend in need.
God is the perfect parent. He never picks me up kicking and screaming and forces me into his will. He waits on me to trust Him in my own time.
I wonder how often I'm content to sit in the sand, when there is an entire ocean of adventure and abundant life right in front of me. If I will only trust Him.
Beautiful! what a great reminder that I think we all could use. (It wasn't too long BTW)
Also... cool pictures!!
Love it.
And "long?" Are you kidding? I think I am the queen of "long" and that was a joy to read - not in the least bit long or tiring.
Love ya!
okay so being the self-professed "detailgal" i got uber-interested in your email from the preface suggesting it would be just my style-unedited & detailed. especially since carter napped today starr!! no coersion at all! just like old times. songs, blankie, i love you, nite nite! okay, so that's off the topic. i loved this reminder to trust that still small voice. and also the way your "new parent with lots to learn" experience made me realize i'm not alone.
A poignant commentary on being a good parent, and even more important, being a good child.
Tears are streaming down my face as I sit and ponder in awe at how patient my Heavenly Father is with me! This is so moving for me--I'll be thinking about this all day at least. Thank you for writing this!
Thank you Starr for this. I just came back to your blog and realized I looked over this post. This is sobering for me today.
Great as one word!

Burlington, MA – June 19, 2013 – Acquia today announced its role as a collaborator in releasing the results of the third annual Future of Cloud Computing Survey, conducted by North Bridge Venture Partners, GigaOM Research and supported by 56 other collaborating organizations.
Open Source Fueling Innovation in Mobile and Cloud; Quality a Top Reason for Enterprise Adoption
Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), SAN FRANCISCO – May 21, 2012 North Bridge Venture Partners and Black Duck Software today announced the results of the sixth annual Future of Open Source Survey. Conducted in partnership with The 451 Group, the 2012 survey reveals that open source software (OSS) is leading innovation in major technology segments including mobile, cloud and big data, as well as creating innovative business models such as Open SaaS. The quality of open source, and the ability to continuously improve, is now one of the top reasons for its adoption.
"The 2012 Future of Open Source Survey reveals the OSS market is thriving. This year's results show an important shift in respondents' view of OSS, focusing less on cost and more on how OSS can innovate and help create industries. Taken together with applications like mobile and enabled by cloud, we are entering an exciting new era of 'Open Innovation on Demand,' where not only can OSS innovate faster, it can be deployed immediately and consumed as a service from the cloud," said Michael Skok, General Partner, North Bridge Venture Partners.
Massachusetts companies, including Acquia, raised $201.4 million in venture capital across 22 deals disclosed in July, according to a Business Journal tally.
Drupal-based software developer Acquia announced on Wednesday that it has closed a $15 million Series D financing round. This news comes more than a month after Acquia announced its plans to partner with Ruby on Rails-based development and deployment platform Engine Yard.
Acquia, the popularizer of Drupal, the open source content management system, has gotten a $15 million D round, its largest yet, bringing total outside investment to $38.5 million.
CMS Wire reports on Acquia's Series D funding cycle, the fourth round of fundraising for the company, raising US$ 15 million. According to Dries Buytaert, Drupal creator and Acquia founder, this round of funding is all about growth.
The Boston Globe's Chris Reidy discusses Acquia's plans for accelerated growth, sales, and marketing following the announcement of Series D funding.
Acquia, the specialist in commercial support for open source content and community management will use the money to gain share in the social software market.

I watched a clip on the Australian Screen website today. It's from an episode of a TV show called More Winners.
A little girl wants to be a lawyer. A male visitor (family friend?) encourages her, and her mother says it's a silly dream. She scolds the man for encouraging the impossible.
It reminds me of Modern Family. In the pilot episode, a mother and stepfather have opposing views on how to handle their son's desire to hit on a girl very much out of his league. The mother is proud of him for being brave, and encourages the behavior. The stepfather sees it as an embarrassment doomed to end in failure. Gloria (the mom) shares a Spanish saying which translates as being I'll be the wind in your back; not the spit in your face.
It's a hard thing to balance really.
I have often felt my parents didn't praise and encourage me enough. Then I wonder if I'm any better, in that regards, with Jack. Sometimes I worry that I'm not.
I'm definitely not a Gloria. I'm not that positive. I'm very honest. I can praise, and I do. But I'm not good at praising when....well, I'm not good at dishonest praising.
I would never tell a person you can't do that, or you'll never be good at so and so. I think I mix idealism with realism. You COULD do that, but I'm not sure it's one of your strong points. I think you'll need to work on it a bit....if that's what you really want to do. I also do a lot of redirecting. You know what I think you're really good at.....
Tim made deep dish pizza the other night. I didn't like it, and I was honest about that. I don't think he had much hope in me liking it, because I'm not a fan of thick crust. But I made sure to (HONESTLY) tell him that I loved the thin crust pizza he had also made. It was really amazingly good.
I also asked if he had brought some pizza over to my parent's; since he had gone to help my dad with something. He had. That was good because they DO like that type of pizza. They'd be better ones to judge.
I hope I'd never be arrogant to believe that my personal opinion is gospel.
In another episode of Modern Family, Claire is embarrassed by her husband's upcoming speech. He thinks he's absolutely hilarious. She thinks he's not. She doesn't want him to do the speech, because she thinks he'll humiliate himself. We don't want to see our loved ones being humiliated. Sometimes there's that idea that it's better that WE be the spit in their face, rather than a bunch of other people.
Uh...Spoiler alert. Skip the next paragraph if you don't want to know what happens in the episode.
Phil (the husband) ends up doing the speech, and the audience thinks he IS funny. Phil doesn't make a fool of himself. Claire gets to see her husband through their eyes, and she gains some new respect for him.
I guess there's two things I try to remember as a parent.
A) If Jack doesn't seem to have natural talent in something..... if he really wants to do it, he can work hard on it, and learn. (not including things like learning to cast truly magical spells with a plastic wand or fly with his toy broomstick)
B) Just because I don't think Jack has talent in something, it doesn't mean he doesn't. People have varying opinions. I might think he's mediocre at something, and other people might think he's fantastic. I might think he's fantastic at something, and other people might think he's awful at it.

I love my ecotools eyeshadow brush so much I wanted to get other brushes from the brand. This set has an angled blush brush, eye shader brush, concealer brush, lip/detailer brush and an angled eyliner brush. Ecotools make such great brushes. They are so soft and dense and don't shed. They apply makeup flawlessly. I'm glad I have a full set of these brushes now. It came with a small makeup/brush bag and only cost $10 at Walmart. Don't let the low price fool you...these are high quality brushes.

What a wonderful brush set! I love the softness of the bristles. These brushes are eco-minded, fairly priced, and easy to clean. I have had these brushes for over a year with no signs of wear and tear. The apply makeup smoothly and evenly. I do not think I will need to repurchase soon, but I will not mind doing so!

This kit came with:
- Angled Blush Brush
- Eye Shading Brush
- Angled Eyeliner Brush
- Detailer Brush
- Concealer Brush
- Brush Case
I needed an extra set of makeup brushes to use in between cleanings when my regular mac makeup brushes were dirty but I didn't want to shell out tons of money. I heard ecotools had really good brushes so I decided to try them out. I am so glad I did! Not only are they eco friendly but so soft and so far none of them have shed at all! They all pick up product and apply just as well as some of my more expensive brushes that are similar. The angled eyeliner brush is amazing on its own! I do have to say that the case that comes with it was not something I would use. It's made out of cotton and hemp which is ideally a good idea environment wise, but it was way too stiff and hard to roll closed. It seemed a little too short also but I didn't buy these brushes for the case anyways so I could really care less. Of course I still love my mac brushes but I will definitely try more ecotool brushes in the future.

Create a Single View of Data
Talend's MDM solutions turn disparate, inconsistent information across your business, such as product and customer data, into a single "version of the truth", providing increased confidence in the decisions you make.
What it DoesRapid, Powerful and Flexible Data Mastering
Talend MDM provides the technology to create a unified view of information and manage that master view over time. Talend simplifies Master Data Management with a flexible and open approach to master data projects, and combines complete functionality for data integration, data quality, data profiling, data mastering, and data governance. Talend MDM provides collaborative workflow enabling teams to build and enforce data governance policies. It provides a system of record and ensures that master data stays clean and is made available to those who need it.
How it WorksFirst Open MDM Solution
Master Any Domain
Talend provides the scalability and flexibility to model and master any domain. You can start by mastering a single domain and incrementally increase this to include other domains all within a single deployment. You can define advanced business rules, validations, access rights and registry lookups directly on the model. The model sits at the center of the MDM solution and drives all interactions with closed loop quality, workflow and end to end integration functions.
Powerful Business User Interface
The Talend graphical user interface provides the business user a rich utility to search and manage master data. Standard composite views are provided to gain a 360-degree view of any mastered entity or to investigate a hierarchy. Business–oriented views can be specified with the Smart View custom form designer.
Workflow and Business Processes
Talend allows you to define and track master data through a series of steps using tasks. This workflow uses an intuitive graphical interface and displays a graphical trail of process steps for contextual history. Every create, read, update or delete of master data is evaluated and initiates an event to look for a duplicate, enrich data, synchronize a back-end system, send an email and even kick off a custom workflow.
Data Quality Built-in
Talend MDM provides built in comprehensive data quality features. These cover data profiling, data standardization, parsing and next generation data matching that provides a superior alternative to overly complex processes used by legacy vendors. Sophisticated matching algorithms are provided to help find duplicates and probable duplicates. Stewardship and survivorship components define common business rules to apply to sets of duplicate records and automate the creation of a single master.
Manage Permissions, Users and Groups
Role-based access controls are applied to every concept in Talend MDM - from read/write access to master data attributes to workflow and user permissions.

The [Talend MDM] solution met all of our business requirements, and delivered a cost-effective proposal in terms of development and license fees.

On the other hand it is certain that the ancon and mauchamp breeds of sheep, and almost certain that the niata cattle, turnspit and pug-dogs, jumper and frizzled fowls, short faced tumbler pigeons, hook-billed ducks &c, and with plants a multitude of varieties, suddenly appeared in nearly the same state as we now see them. The frequency of these cases is likely to lead to the false belief that natural species have often originated in the same abrupt manner. But we have no evidence of the appearance or at least of the continued procreation under nature of abrupt modifications of structure and various general reasons could be assigned against such a b[el]ief: for instance, without separation a single monstrous variation would almost certainly be soon obliterated by crossing.

What a little bit of color can do
Here's a little project I did with my 3yr old. We have a beat up table that the kids use for coloring as you saw here. I've been meaning to do something to it and today was the day. We used acrylic paints and tape. I didn't want it to look slick and perfectly painted so I love that you can see all our brush strokes. My little helper was soooo excited to be painting on furniture! I hope she doesn't think that's allowed elsewhere!
Thank you to all of you that have shown A Little Hut so much support! I've received encouraging feedback regarding the site and I had my first sale already! Thank you - you know who!! :)

"I have had a bag of the cinnamon chips in the freezer for a couple of months, so today I decided to make the cookie recipe on the back of the bag. They are wonderful! I am not a cookie maker but these were easy to put together and they came out beautiful. I used Crisco, I don't care for butter in cookie recipes. I didn't have any raisins, but hop..."
"I should have known this would be wonderful!! OMG....so good...so good!! My blueberries were BEAUTIFUL....the old man will be so surprised when he gets home from work..teehee..."
"This was really good. I was craving some type of a spaghetti "thing" and found this today. Ran to the market to grab the makings, and had a wonderful supper. The family really enjoyed it. I added mushrooms, black olives and 1/2 packet of spaghetti seasoning, the McCormick kind. I used less pasta than called for but it was plenty. I'm thinking some..."
"These are really good! I think I kind of messed up, I had 4 cups of jalapenos so I tried to adjust the sugar and water, came out kind of too sweet so I just emptied some of the juice out, anyway, sure didn't stop us from eating a bunch. With the cream cheese and Wheat Thins they are delightful!! The old man even liked them! I'm going to do Kitten'..."
"This was out the world good!! YUM! We enjoyed this so much. My DH could not get over how tasty it was. I had gotten some really nice shrimp, which always helps, I didn't have any vermouth but Marsala and it worked just fine. Next time I will use the vermouth. When I served it we ran outside and gathered some fresh basil and then added the fresh..."
"I make this every time I have left over pot roast, really good. Just a suggestion. I don't use the vegetables, and still very delicious. UPDATE: I always use onions, it has to have that!"
"We adore this recipe! I use pork tenderloin and pound out till very thin, then proceed as directed. This is soooo good, and you just have to put some fresh lemon on top. YUMMY!!"
"I've been making this for years, only difference, GREEN CHILI...put in as much as you like. Once I used jalapenos, also very good. This goes great with a south of the border meal. Enjoy!"
"I WILL NEVER make another recipe from Ina Garten! This was the second time I've made one of her recipes, the first was her so called famous pound cake, was disappointed in it, but NOT as disappointed as I am in this cake!! I am furious!!!! Wasted ingredients and MY time. If she sold this kind of crap at her bakery, then the "snobs" of the Hamptons..."
"These are over the top GOOD!! Here's what I did, flour tortilla, smeared some avocado on it, grilled flat iron steak that had marinated in some spices, caramelized onions and a dollop of sour cream. YUMMO! These onions are to die for. I can see me doing these often. Thanks again for a superb recipe, as always!! Merry Christmas!!"

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The country's backlogged immigration courts are bracing for a deluge of cases after tens of thousands of Central American children began arriving on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Lauren Alder Reid, counsel for legislative and public affairs at the U.S. Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review, says the courts have temporarily reassigned judges to hear cases in southern Texas and at a New Mexico detention facility via teleconferencing since the influx.
She could not say how many cases have been postponed, but she expects the surge in immigration will have a significant impact on other immigrants' cases.
The immigration courts are backlogged with more than 375,000 cases, and it can take months or years for immigrants not in detention facilities to get a hearing, let alone a resolution.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (14.75 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a two-quart baking dish and set aside. In medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In large mixing bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add eggs, one at a time and mix well after each addition. Beat in flour mixture on low speed just until combined. Stir in corn, pineapple and cheese. Spoon batter into prepared dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
