This Week in Candy - I'm Going to Meet All the Candy Bloggers
Technically this happened last week, not this week, but bear with me. Last Friday I got to meet another one of my fellow candy bloggers (I have a set of three in-person meets so far!). Joanna from SugarSavvy.net was in town and we went out to lunch at the Farmers Market (because it was the densest candy location I could think of near my office). We had a little lunch with the incredible view of Littlejohn's Toffee & Fudge. They were wrapping their slick and gorgeous caramel kisses (caramel covered marshmallows). Joanna bought some penuche, a pecan praline for a friend and I also got a praline and a piece of honeycomb (because it looked so good on Rosa's post over at SugarSavvy ... but I ate it and can't review it now). I probably jabbered on a lot about candy, but it's pretty rare that I get to talk to anyone about candy except through the blog.
She also gave me a wonderful selection of four chocolates by Xocolatl de David. I've gobbled them up without taking their picture or reviewing them. (I'm sure I'll have them again and do some coverage.) Mmmm ... dark and scorched fleur de sel caramels coated in rich chocolate. I definitely have to visit Portland one of these days.
As another update, the winner for the Ultimate Candy Expo Box was Kimberly. It was a little warm in both our locations last week, so I'm boxing up a list of her top requests and a bunch of other stuff to send off on Monday. There were 537 valid entries (a few doubles on the comment thread and a few that came in via email). I'm kind of 21st century in my drawing method. I export the entire list to an spreadsheet. Sort it (in this case by email address) and then have a random number generator tell me which entry won.
I'm thinking about running another giveaway, this time filled with Limited Edition items (some you may have loved, many you may have hated!). Any thoughts?
As a little follow up to another post earlier this week, Hershey's has named Richard Lenny's replacement. They're promoting from within and have tapped David J. West (43) as the new President, CEO and Director. West's current position is Chief Operating Officer, Exec. VP, Sr. VP and Pres of the North American Commercial Group (see, he'll have a much shorter title!). Don't worry about Lenny (55), he's leaving with plenty of compensation for his hard work this year: a $1.1 million base salary and $10.25 million in long-term compensations ... that's just this year. (He has some other yet unexercised options worth $23.5 million.) More about Lenny's history with the company here. Of the 20 top executives in Hershey, West was the youngest in senior management.
Chew on That has their monthly roundup of answers from bloggers. October's topic is "What is the one thing in your refrigerator or pantry that you cannot live without?" As I'm not the cook in my household, my answer isn't an ingredient, just something I eat.
Monday: Reese's Whipps (4 out of 10)
Tuesday: Java Twix (8 out of 10)
Wednesday: Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Kisses (5 out of 10)
Thursday: GudFud Stuffed Marshmallows (6 out of 10)
Friday: Chocolate Poppers (6 out of 10)
Healthy Friday Bonus: Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks (6 out of 10)
Weekly average was 5.833 with 50% chocolate content.

Candy Travels - NCA Reveals Top 10 Sweet Destinations
The National Confectioners Association (the people who run the All Candy Expo) released a list of what they call America's Top 10 Sweet Spots for Halloween.
Here are their cities with my notes:
1. Hershey, Pa. Yes, they mentioned the Hershey empire with the park and Chocolate World and the Spa at The Hotel Hershey. But what you may not know is that there are lots of other confections within an hour of Hershey. Don't miss Lititz, PA, home of Wilbur Chocolate and a fantabulous outlet store (with far better prices than you'll find at the Chocolate World mall). Also in Souderton, PA, Asher's Chocolate, Wolfgang in York, PA.
2. New York, N.Y.—They mention M&Ms World & Hershey's in Times Square, Jacques Torres and Dylan's Candy Bar, but miss many of the other confectionery delights: MarieBelle, Kees, Vosges, Pierre Marcolini, Max Brenner and Economy Candy. (See my New York Guide.)
3. Orlando, Fla.—I've never been there. The highlight Disneyworld and other mass-produced candy meccas like Dylan's Candy Bar & Ghirardelli stores.
4. San Francisco, Calif.—this is a huge confectionery town. Ghirardelli, Scharffen Berger, Jelly Belly (in Fairfield) as well as Joseph Schmidt, CocoaBella, the new Charles Chocolates cafe and factory as well as some really great candy shops and don't forget the Ferry Terminal (Recchiuti & Miette). I'll have more in December. (Here's my current guide for the Bay Area.)
5. Chicago, Ill.—Home of Ethel's, Blommer, Ferrara Pan, Tootsie and a bunch of other companies that don't offer tours but you can snuggle down at one of the five Ethel's Chocolate Lounges. Vosges calls Chicago home, as well.
6. Los Angeles, Calif.—This is where I live and I can tell you that the press release was talking about Anaheim in nearby Orange County. (I did a little bit on Disneyland here). No factory tours for you here, but plenty of chocolatiers like Boule, Compartes, Valerie Confections, Jin Patissiere and Artisan du Chocolat. (Here's my local shopping guide.) Don't forget about See's ... if you don't live on the West Coast, it's a must stop that won't break your budget.
7. Boston, Mass.—the one time I visited Boston, I don't think I had ANY candy (but made a wonderful trip to Filene's Basement back when it was actually in the basement.). They highlight Boston's part in making Halloween the holiday that it has come to be (but I can't eat history!)
8. New Orleans, La.—again, another one I've never visited, but any city that loves coffee, pecans and boiled sugar is going to be a favorite. They suggested Evans Creole CandyFactory, Laura's Candy Shop and Aunt Sally's Praline Shop (I got some of their pralines at the All Candy Expo).
9. Las Vegas, Nev.—There's really nothing unique in Las Vegas, except for the sheer density of it all. There are many large branded stores and fine European chocolatiers that want you to sugar up with them. M&Ms World, Ethel's Chocolate Lounge, & Vosges.
10. Kansas City, Mo.—I've never been, but I've certainly had plenty of candy from Kansas City. Russell Stover is there, as is Christopher Elbow and Andre's Confiserie.
The Pacific Northwest is conspicuously absent from this list. Portland and Seattle are amazing chocolate, toffee and caramel towns ... not that I've toured them with that in mind ... yet. If anything, Los Angeles and Orlando don't belong on that list.
If you don't feel like going too far afield, I did a little map last year with the confectioners I'd tried so far ... maybe you can make a little vacation for yourself for the price of a box of chocolates.

Because you asked ...
Every once in a while I go through the search logs either on this site or the ones that refer people here from the search engines.
Sometimes I know that their questions aren't actually answered when they arrive, so I'll take a stab at it here!
Question: Why is my tongue is irritated from sour foods?
Answer: Sour foods are acidic. Many very sour candies contain high levels of acids such as malic acid and citric acid. At higher levels this can irritate the tongue and tender mouth parts. Luckily the irritation is temporary for most people.
Malic acid is naturally occurring and usually found in apples, more highly concentrated in green (unripe) apples.
Citric acid is also occurs naturally and is found in citrus fruits such as lemons and limes and in lower concentrations in oranges.
Question: What flavor is the red Skittle?
Answer: Red Skittles are strawberry flavored when found in the classic Fruits mix.
Question: What's the difference between Hershey's Mounds and Almond Joy candy bar?
Answer: I think the jingle for the candy bars answers that best:

Hershey's CEO to Retire
Richard H. Lenny, the CEO, President and Chair of The Hershey Company is calling it quits at the end of the year. He took his current position in 2001.
You can read the press release below, which is obviously geared towards investors and not consumers, because not once does it mention anything good that's happened since Lenny took over ... a period which saw the addition of PGPR to Hershey's chocolate, the swapping of real milk chocolate in the Fifth Avenue bar to subpar mockolate and of course their support for the Grocery Manufacturers Association proposal to lower the standards of identity for chocolate (a reversal from their earlier position logged in 2000). Oh, yeah, and the closing of the Smith Falls, ONT and Oakdale, CA along with many smaller factories totalling at least 1,500 people directly.
If I were in charge, I'd go private. If I were the Hershey Trust, I'd slowly buy the company back. They have (or at least it looks like they have) the capital to do it. Move away from all for the profit business and move to become and socially and ecologically responsible company both in the United States and abroad. Mars has a huge advantage over Hershey's in that it is privately owned and can take bigger risks when the consumer confectionery market is in flux as it is now.
Hershey's should get back to making quality confectionery products at affordable prices, pay people a decent wage and the Hershey Trust will be able to continue the Milton Hershey School without problems. After all, the Trust is there to help mold disadvantaged youth - give them the education and boost that they need. Are they really teaching them anything if they abandon the town, communities and ideals that Hershey built?
More at the Wall Street Journal.

The Traveling with Candy Balancing Act
Each day a the All Candy Expo I balanced my sense of discretion with each candy booth's generosity.
I think the candy companies won.
Each attendee was given a small bag to put their samples in on the floor. The same bag was used each day and it was about the size of a shoe box for some nice women's dress shoes. Basically, not too big.
Many booths had "eat it here" samples, little cups or sections of their products for sampling. I generally didn't eat much while on the floor of the show, so I didn't go for those often. (I couldn't bring them home, they didn't have the ingredients and nutrition info on them.)
I was pretty picky about what I picked up, but often when I'd get into conversations with the candy purveyors, they'd offer me full sized samples. A 6 ounce bag of some new gummi spiders, a stack of six 3.5 ounce chocolate bars, a 5 ounce bag of delicious dark chocolate coated toffee almonds or a half a dozen full-sized Ritter Sport bars. It adds up. So somewhere around the middle of the morning my bag would be full and probably weigh about five pounds. I had a benefit over most attendees, somewhere to stash the contents of my bag. I'd go to the press room and empty it out and leave it with my other stuff (my jacket, etc.) and go back out onto the floor.
At the end of the day I'd be hoofing it back to the hotel with 15 or so pounds of candy along with a sampling of press kits which are also heavy in their own right.
So with a little math you can tell where this is going. At the end of the show I had at least 45 pounds of candy, probably closer to 55 pounds (if you include the press kits, which as I said in my defense, are heavy).
I planned well, or at least I thought. I brought one large suitcase to Chicago. I packed my 8 days worth of clothes (I was heading to visit family in the Midwest when I was done) and another smaller, collapsible suitcase in the bottom. I had my laptop messenger bag and a purse. Once back at the hotel I tried to pack all my stuff. It all technically fit, but I was concerned that the large bag was going to be over the weight limit. If figured if I could carry the large suitcase down the three flights of stairs to the lobby, it couldn't be that heavy. Certainly not over 50 pounds.
I got to the airport dragging things behind me (may I thank the fellow who invented the wheel at this moment?) I found that I was correct ... my luggage weight 101.5 pounds. However, the large bag was 61 pounds and the little one was over 39. (The good news, apparently, is that I can carry 61 pounds down three flights of stairs!)
Luckily the nice agent at American Airlines said I could take a moment and transfer some things around instead of charging me for being overweight (that'd be $50). She even helped me by pointing out the items she thought were heaviest. I stuffed some of the heavier things into my carry on and in the end each of my bags was balanced at 47 pounds each. (Yes, I was now toting an additional seven pounds in my carry ons.) I thanked the ticket agent for her patience and help and gave her a full-sized Hershey's Cacao Reserve nibby bar. This was when she told me that she only worked part time for American Airlines. Her day job was as a dental hygienist. She said she would have given me a toothbrush if she had one on her!
At my brother's (where the guest room is sadly on the third floor, but happily he carries my bags up for me) I took all my candy out and organized it and repacked it, using a bathroom scale to make sure that each bag was 45 pounds. I left plenty of chocolate and candy there, too. I gave my mother three full sized dark bars plus a box of Russell Stover Private Reserve chocolates that I just wasn't going to get to review anytime soon (but I'll go buy at some point). I left only a few things at my brothers ... sadly I didn't find his new perfect candy bar for him at the Expo. He was a Snickers Cruncher fan. I'll have to keep working on it.
It took about three days after I got home for the sore shoulders to go away (carry forty pounds on them regularly takes a while to get over). It's been 10 days since the Expo ended and I can now say that my feet don't hurt any longer. Maybe next year I won't walk that mile to and from the convention center and just splurge on a cab.
In case you're wondering, this is what 50 pounds of candy looks like, all dumped out on my dining room table (which is 50 inches around, by the way).
In case you're wondering the result of this trip on my weight ... I've lost four pounds. Don't worry, I have a notion of where to find them.

This Week in Candy - Candy is better when you sleep in your own bed
If you've already entered my candy drawing, you should definitely go enter Candy Addict's. He has far more candy that I've got, so it should be a windfall for all FOUR winners.
Chocolate Bytes is also running a drawing for some cute See's Foil Wrapped Autumn Leaves. Check that out and enter! (Deadline is Sunday.)
X-Entertainment marks the beginning of Candy Season with their first haul of Halloween Candy. If that's not enough to get you through to the sales that start on the day after, check out their huge archives that go back years and years.
Buzzle has up a list of the 10 Great Moments in the History of Chocolate. Of course any top ten list will generate comments. I'm pretty sure Hershey should be on there, mostly because it was when chocolate became accessible to the masses and large-scale production techniques were applied to what had been a rather upscale artisan product. But there are other things left out of there as well.
Tasty Show (mostly chocolate) attended the Chocolate and Beer pairing sponsored by Cote d'Or at All Candy Expo. (I would have put this in my roundup, but it was posted on the same day and I didn't see it.)
Jessica posts on Su Good Eats about a new chocolate maker in the US called Askinosie ... definitely on my list now!
I didn't do a This Week roundup last week, I was traveling and having spent all that time and money to get across the country to see my family, I thought it best to spend time with them! I had a great trip and my mother and I went to visit Daffin's Candy Factory in Farrell, PA and then to the Daffin's Candy Store (the World's Largest, they say). I'll have a complete write up on that soon and tell you what's in that box.
I also got to watch my niece and nephew try out a bunch of the All Candy Expo candies. The biggest hit with the two of them seemed to be the Candy Stampers that Concord makes. They're a compressed dextrose disk that has a little shape on it and lots and lots of food coloring. You wet it on your tongue and then stamp the shape on your skin, or paper, or whatever. They seemed most interested in stamping their tongues.
Here's what I know my niece doesn't like: Razzles, Russell Stover's Mocha Truffle (I don't know why she wanted to open it), Trolli Gummi Bears or Concord Bananas. She seemed happiest when I opened my bag of Swedish Fish Aqua Life and she picked out all the red fish. They both got a couple of Pez as well, and seemed to like them. My nephew is more mellow about candy and seemed happy with most of the stuff I gave him. He likes sour, but not super sour. Sour Patch Kids are just about his speed.
I'm so happy to be home but haven't even really looked at all my candy yet, I've just been trying to respond to your requests for the new candies revealed at the All Candy Expo.
Monday: Tootsie Rolls & Fruit Rolls (5 out of 10)
Tuesday: Chewy Lemonheads & Atomic Fireballs (7 out of 10 & 8 out of 10)
Wednesday: Skittles Chocolate Mix (5 out of 10)
Thursday: Pop Rocks Milk Chocolate Bar (7 out of 10)
Friday: Junior Mints Deluxe (7 out of 10)
Average rating: 6.27 ... 29% chocolate content.

All Candy Expo - Link Wrapping
Of course I wasn't the only writer covering the All Candy Expo and I'm glad, otherwise I wouldn't know half this stuff. So here are some extra reads if you're inclined:
Kim from ChicagoParent.com has a great write up from a mom's point of view.
Here's the official press release from the All Candy Expo where they talked about the different trends (you can see how many of the reporters parroted that in their listings).
Other Coverage by Me
Finally, the National Confectioners Association site also has a nice roundup of coverage including video links!

Candy Revival: Good 'n Fruity Returns
I got word during All Candy Expo that Good 'n Fruity, the fruity version of Good & Plenty is returning next year.
I believe the revamped product was test marketed last year in Oregon, as the photo shown here by permission from ravenzachary shows (or perhaps he got a frighteningly old box).
The original Good 'n Fruity was a clear sweet jelly center with a variety of fruit flavored candy shells. According to Wikipedia, back in 1988 the centers were changed to improve the flavor and were rather like pieces of fruit licorice with a candy shell.
I have no recollection of ever eating Good 'n Fruity, I always preferred the licorice parent. But I'll give it a whirl! If only to find out if they've squandered their Dr. Frankenstien powers on this candy instead of reviving the Bar None.
We'll find out in late February 2008 whether Zombie candies are as good as the original ones.
UPDATE 3/11/2008: I finally got a hold of a box via CandyWarehouse ... here's the review.

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas?its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries?Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Royal Tan And Spa's staff bronzes bodies with modern tanning beds and services and offer a variety of spa services such as body wraps, massages, and facials. A series of Royal Gold sessions gently browns customers with 40 souped-up, full-body lamps. The futuristic bed of lights keeps clients cool with adjustable fans while evenly bronzing faces with four high-pressure facial-tanning lanterns and offering up to five gradients of an overall golden glow. Patrons may also choose Mystic Tan sessions held in a private room with the automated Mist Applicator, which evenly and gently gilds skin without exposing it to harmful UV rays. Mystic Tanning is available in three levels, so customers have the choice of looking as though they just returned from the beaches of the Bahamas or the sand dunes of Mars. The technicians can even apply custom airbrush tans at the spa or at clients' homes for a sunless solution that lasts up to 10 days.
The tanning technicians at Mira of Beauty take the guesswork out of getting a glow by administering professional airbrush tans at their studio. They mist bodies with paraben-free South Seas tanning products that are infused with DHA, an FDA-approved ingredient. These top-of-the-line bronzers, which have been featured in Allure magazine and used on the sets of many television shows, are emitted from high-volume, low-pressure guns at a slow rate to ensure glows go on even, unlike applying them with a salad shooter.
The pro pamperers at Endless Summer Salon LLC brighten faces with a seamless fusion of Old World beauty traditions and modern techniques during a one-hour European facial. Once knowledgeable beauty gurus choose suitable supplements from a trove of top-shelf skin elixirs, pores surrender their hoarded impurities to a firm but gentle exfoliating scrub. A coddling hydrating or refining mask blankets squeaky-clean cells with protective barriers against future dehydration, textural unevenness, and complexion-defiling grease from insurgent french fries before gentle massage strokes expel delinquent tension from the face, the scalp, and the shoulders.

The IStackWalk type exposes the following members.
|Asserts that the calling code can access the resource identified by the current permission object, even if callers higher in the stack have not been granted permission to access the resource.

Partially trusted code always presents a security risk. It can sometimes be manipulated to perform actions on behalf of malicious code that does not have permission to access a resource. In this way, malicious code can achieve higher security access than it should be allowed.
The common language runtime helps protect managed code from these attacks by running a stack walk on all calls. The stack walk requires that all code in the call stack has permission to access a protected resource. Because the code attempting the attack will always be somewhere in the call stack, it will be unable to exceed its own security permissions.

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to kick off your shopping than by supporting our local Evergreen artists? Friday, Dec. 5, marks the 23rd annual Holiday Walk in downtown Evergreen. The walk begins at 5 p.m. with the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Evergreen Lake House to light the community tree. Crowds then walk with Santa down Main Street and take holiday photos, enjoy entertainment, and shop for gifts.
It's quite a hot time in the Borocle, one of downtown Evergreen's newest art galleries.
The gallery in the building at the southeast corner of Highway 73/74 also is a workshop for glass blowers Eric Post and Kyle Purcell, who create jewelry pendants, vases, goblets and other art forms. Mandie Smith rounds out the group, creating wire art plus soaps, scrubs and other items.
My first and most important job in writing this essay is to invite all of my mountain neighbors to the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at St. Laurence Episcopal Church in Conifer at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25. You will "dine" upon fine music, readings, prayers and hymn singing. You will have an opportunity to contribute to the Mountain Resource Center and Evergreen Christian Outreach.
The age-old quest for "happily ever after" has unfolded in fairy tales, stories and movies throughout time. In 1986, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine set out to create a musical that asked the next question: What happens after happily ever after? The result was a Tony Award-winning musical that presents a new twist on fairy tales. This weekend, the high school company of StageDoor Theatre in Conifer sets out to answer the question of life after happily ever after in its production of "Into the Woods."
"Grease" is the word around our mountain towns these days. Grab your leather jackets and bobby socks and take a trip down memory lane with the original high school musical! This sock-hop show performed by the Venue Theatre's high school company is sure to have audiences hand-jiving the night away.
Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen has once again paired with Lumberg Elementary for some Random Act of Kindness. In the spring of 2012, RMAE donated almost 1,000 books to Lumberg, an elementary school in Jefferson County with a high population of students needing free or reduced-price lunches.
Classic musicals stand the test of time because they have simple story lines, laugh-inducing scripts, and music that sticks with audiences long after the curtain falls. "Anything Goes" is a celebration of the great American musical and one of its greatest composers, Cole Porter. The latest production of this time-honored show, presented by StageDoor Theatre's high school company, offers a fresh take on this 80-year-old theatrical gem.

By far one of the best restaurants I have ever dined in. From Sydney I have experienced some of the best restaurants in the world, this one is on par if not better. Compliments to the chef. Allan.
With a stunning riverfront location and a menu showcasing the region's best wine and produce, Cove Restaurant & Bar captures the Tamar Valley at its finest. Part of Peppers York Cove Resort in George Town, Cove Restaurant & Bar affords glorious views across the Tamar River from both its breezy al fresco terrace and sleek, vibrant modern interior. Equally captivating is chef Jason Smith's diverse seasonal menu, which pays homage to the finest local ingredients with skill and a deceptive simplicity. Tapas style palate teasers begin the selection, ranging through to flat bread pizzas and the more refined likes of chilli and chive squid with citrus and wild rocket salad or Tasmanian wallaby porterhouse with beetroot quinoa, Persian feta and pepper berry.
Oven roasted chicken breast w/ charred pumpkin, artichoke nut gratin, pickled parsley sauce
At the Cove Restaurant and Bar, you can sample award-winning wines from the region before savouring the infinite flavours of modern Australian cuisine made from the freshest local produce.Overlooking the marina and Tamar River, guests have a choice of inside or year-round outside dining while taking in captivating Tamar Valley views.Cove Restaurant & Bar's Head Chef has a passion for local produce and his diverse menu reflects this. Using simple yet intense flavours, the menu is designed with seasonality in mind ensuring you experience a taste of the region's freshest produce.For entree relish the flavours of salt & pepper calamari, or succulent Tasmanian farmed Venison before moving onto a main of Cape Grim beef or a juicy oven roast chicken breast served with charred pumpkin, artichoke nut gratin & pickled parsley sauce.

Nuclear Statecraft: History and Strategy in America's Atomic Age
November 29, 2012 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
We are at a critical juncture in world politics. Nuclear strategy and policy have risen to the top of the global policy agenda, and issues ranging from a nuclear Iran to the global zero movement are generating sharp debate. The historical origins of our contemporary nuclear world are deeply consequential for contemporary policy, but it is crucial that decisions are made on the basis of fact rather than myth and misapprehension. In Nuclear Statecraft, Francis J. Gavin challenges key elements of the widely accepted narrative about the history of the atomic age and the consequences of the nuclear revolution.
Explaining Nuclear Forbearance: A Case Study on Sweden
November 01, 2012 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
Why did Sweden choose, in the late 1960s, to abandon its long-standing nuclear weapons plans? Today, the end of the Cold War and the declassification of large parts of the relevant documentary record, especially concerning the technical preparations for nuclear weapons production, have created the prerequisites for a more penetrating analysis of this important historical issue. The purpose of this presentation is to summarize the research on Sweden's plans to acquire nuclear weapons based on primary sources. This overarching analysis is then tested against International Relations theories which have sought to explain factors of proliferation and non-proliferation.
Cuban Missile Crisis: Nuclear Order of Battle

Overall market conditions remained unchanged, with mixed demand levels among industries and geographies. All business segments reported orders growth, with emerging markets stronger than mature markets. Currency translation was negligible.

Europe and Middle East/Africa orders declined. Currency translation deducted 2 percentage points, primarily due to backlog revaluation.

Bush Press Sec Ari Fleischer Is Tweeting His 9/11 Experience Alongside the President
POTUS left the event and went into the holding room 2get briefed/ work the phones. Here is a picture of the scene. pic.twitter.com/ZztLy2plSl
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 11, 2014
On this day of 9/11 remembrance, former George W. Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer took to Twitter to share his memories of that horrible day, which he spent by the President's side.
In a stream of posts that has gone on for hours, Fleischer recounts the moments immediately after the World Trade Center towers were struck and the steps the President, his administration and the military took in those confusing hours after. It's an amazing story well told, showing what it was like before technology was stepped up to what we know now (so much has changed). And it illustrates the importance of sharing solid information quickly among those internally and with the American people. Reading it today, even after all these years, conveys all of the sadness, fright, frenzy and anger of 13 years ago.
Moreover, we get a usually untold sense of what a press secretary's role is in an emergency. We have a few tweets after the jump, but you can check it out entirely on Fleischer's feed.

Hey everybody.... I've been hanging on to some older suits that I've collected over the years, with the intention of recycling them when it came time... but now that I've thought about it, is it even possible to recycle a wetsuit? Is it more of a recycling in the traditional sense? Or is there a non-profit out there that I can send the suits to and they distribute them to people who may have a use for them? Either way, just want to get rid of them without tossing them into the trash! So if anyone's got any pointers, I'm all ears. Thanks and make sure you get in the water tomorrow!
I'm in the Wilmington/Myrtle Beach area if that helps as far as where to take the used rubber. All suits "work" so to speak, in good condition as far as appearances; they're just old. Supposed to be meeting a guy in the morning about a 4/3 Cypher... Stoked! First new wetsuit I will have purchased in many a moon.

British Overseas Territories
|Largest cities / towns
|1,727,570 km2
667,019 sq mi
The fourteen British Overseas Territories are territories under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom. They do not, however, form part of it.[1] Instead, they are those parts of the former British Empire that have not acquired independence, or, unlike the Commonwealth realms, have voted to remain British territories. While each has its own internal leadership, most being self-governing, they share the British monarch (Queen Elizabeth II) as head of state.
The name "British Overseas Territory" was introduced by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002, replacing the name British Dependent Territory introduced by the British Nationality Act 1981. Prior to 1 January 1983, the territories were officially referred to as Crown colonies. With the exceptions of the British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (which host only officials and research station staff) and the British Indian Ocean Territory (used as a military base), the Territories retain permanent civilian populations. Permanent residency for the 7,000 or so civilians living in the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is limited to citizens of the Republic of Cyprus.
Collectively, the Territories encompass a population of approximately 350,000 people and a land area of approximately 667,018 square miles (1,727,570 km2). The vast majority of this, 660,000 square miles (1,700,000 km2), constitutes the British Antarctic Territory.[2][3] Britain participates in the Antarctic Treaty System[4] and, as part of a mutual agreement, the British Antarctic Territory is recognised by four of the other sovereign nations making claims to Antarctic territory.
Although the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are also under the sovereignty of the British Crown, they are in a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom.[5][6][7] The British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are themselves distinct from the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of 53 countries mostly with historic links to the British Empire.
The current minister responsible for the Territories is Mark Simmonds MP, of the Foreign Office. Gibraltar and the Sovereign Base Areas, however, are the responsibility of the Minister for Europe David Lidington MP, while the Falkland Islands are the responsibility of Hugo Swire MP, also of the Foreign Office.[8][9][10]

Early colonies, in the sense of English subjects residing in lands hitherto outside the control of the English government, were generally known as "Plantations".
The first, unofficial, colony was Newfoundland, where English fishermen routinely set up seasonal camps in the 16th century.[33] It is now a province of Canada known as Newfoundland and Labrador. It retains strong emotional ties with Britain.
English colonisation of North America began officially in 1607 with the settlement of Jamestown, the first successful permanent colony in "Virginia" (a term that was then applied generally to North America). Its off-shoot, Bermuda, was settled inadvertently in 1609, with the Virginia Company´s charter extended to officially include the archipelago in 1612. St. George's town, founded in Bermuda in that year, remains the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in the New World (with some historians stating that – its formation predating the 1619 conversion of "James Fort" into "Jamestown" – St. George's was actually the first successful town the English established in the New World). Bermuda and Bermudians have played important, sometimes pivotal, but generally underestimated or unacknowledged roles in the shaping of the English and British trans-Atlantic Empires. These include maritime commerce, settlement of the continent and of the West Indies, and the projection of naval power via the colony's privateers, among other areas.[34][35]
The growth of the British Empire in the 19th century, to its territorial peak in the 1920s, saw Britain acquire over one quarter of the world's land mass, including territories with large indigenous populations in Asia and Africa. The late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries saw the larger settler colonies — in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa — becoming self-governing colonies and achieving independence in all matters except foreign policy, defence and trade. Separate self-governing colonies federated to become Canada (in 1867) and Australia (in 1901). These and other large self-governing colonies had become known as Dominions by the 1920s. The Dominions achieved almost full independence with the Statute of Westminster (1931). During the second half of the twentieth century most of the British colonies in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean were granted independence. Some colonies became Commonwealth realms, retaining the British monarch as their own head of state.[36]
After the independence of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in Africa in 1980 and British Honduras (now Belize) in Central America in 1981, the last major colony that remained was Hong Kong, with a population of over 5 million.[37]
With 1997 approaching, the United Kingdom and China negotiated the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which led to the whole of Hong Kong becoming a "special administrative region" of China in 1997, subject to various conditions intended to guarantee the preservation of Hong Kong's capitalist economy and its way of life under British rule for at least 50 years after the handover. George Town in the Cayman Islands has consequently become the largest city in the Overseas Territories by population since.
Following the return of Hong Kong, the remaining British overseas possessions are mostly small island territories with small populations – the only territories of significant area being the Falkland Islands and the uninhabited British Antarctic Territory.
In 2002, the British Parliament passed the British Overseas Territories Act 2002. This reclassified the UK's dependent territories as overseas territories and, with the exception of those people solely connected with the Sovereign Base Areas of Cyprus, restored full British citizenship to their inhabitants.[38]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (February 2011)
The head of state in the overseas territories is the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen's role in the territories is in her role as Queen of the United Kingdom, and not in right of each territory. The Queen appoints a representative in each territory to exercise her executive power. In territories with a permanent population, a Governor is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the British Government, usually a retired senior military officer,[citation needed] or a senior civil servant. In territories without a permanent population, a Commissioner is usually appointed to represent the Queen. Exceptionally, in the overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, an Administrator is appointed to be the Governor's representative in each of the two distant parts of the territory, namely Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha.
The role of the Governor is to act as the de facto head of state, and they are usually responsible for appointing the head of government, and senior political positions in the territory. The Governor is also responsible for liaising with the UK Government, and carrying out any ceremonial duties. A Commissioner has the same powers as a Governor, but also acts as the head of government.[citation needed]
All the overseas territories have their own system of government, and localised laws. The structure of the government appears to be closely correlated to the size and political development of the territory.[citation needed]
|There is no native or permanent population; therefore there is no elected government. The Commissioner, supported by an Administrator, run the affairs of the territory.
|There is no elected government, and currently there is no native settled population. The Chagos Islanders – who were forcibly evicted from the territory in 1971 – won a High Court Judgement allowing them to return but this was then overridden by an Order in Council preventing them from returning. The final appeal (regarding the lawfulness of the order in council) to the House of Lords was decided in the government's favour, exhausting their legal options in the United Kingdom at present.
|There is no elected government. However, the Commander British Forces Cyprus also acts as the territory's Administrator, with a Chief Officer responsible for day-to-day running of the civil government; as far as possible, there is convergence of laws with those of the Republic of Cyprus.
|There are an elected Mayor and Island Council, who have the power to propose and administer local legislation. However, their decisions are subject to approval by the Governor, who retains near-unlimited powers of plenary legislation on behalf of the United Kingdom Government.
|The Government consists of an elected Legislative Assembly, with the Chief Executive and the Director of Corporate Resources as ex officio members.[39]
|The Government consists of an elected Legislative Council. The Governor is the head of government and leads the Executive Council, consisting of appointed members made up from the Legislative Council and two ex-officio members. Governance on Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha is led by Administrators which are advised by elected Island Councils.[40]
|These territories have a House of Assembly, Legislative Assembly (Cayman Islands), or Legislative Council (Montserrat) with political parties. The Executive Council is usually called a cabinet and is led by a Premier or a Chief Minister (in Anguilla), who is the leader of the majority party in parliament. The Governor exercises less power over local affairs and deals mostly with foreign affairs and economic issues, while the elected government controls most "domestic" concerns.[citation needed]
|Under the Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006 which was approved in Gibraltar by a referendum, Gibraltar now has a Parliament. The Government of Gibraltar, headed by the Chief Minister is elected. Defence, external affairs and internal security vest in the Governor as a matter of distribution of powers.[41]
|Bermuda, settled in 1609, and self-governed since 1620, is the oldest and most populous of the Overseas Territories. The bi-cameral Parliament consists of a Senate and a House of Assembly, and most executive powers have been devolved to the head of government, known as the Premier.[citation needed]
The Turks and Caicos Islands adopted a new constitution effective 9 August 2006; their head of government now also has the title Premier, their legislature is called the House of Assembly, and their autonomy has been greatly increased.[citation needed]
Each overseas territory has its own legal system independent of the United Kingdom. The legal system is generally based on English common law, with some distinctions for local circumstances. Each territory has its own attorney general, and court system. For the smaller territories, the UK may appoint a UK-based lawyer or judge to work on legal cases. This is particularly important for cases involving serious crimes and where it is impossible to find a jury who will not know the defendant in a small population island.[citation needed]
The Pitcairn rape trial of 2004 is an example of how the UK may choose to provide the legal framework for particular cases where the territory cannot do so alone.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has the responsibility of looking after the interests of all overseas territories except Akrotiri & Dhekelia, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defence.[43][44] Within the FCO, the general responsibility for the territories is handled by the Overseas Territories Directorate,[45] which is headed by the Minister for the Overseas Territories. As of January 2013[update] the Minister is Mark Simmonds, a Parliamentary Under Secretary of State.
In 1999, the FCO published the Partnership for Progress and Prosperity: Britain and the Overseas Territories report which set out Britain's policy for the Overseas Territories, covering four main areas:[46][dead link]
Britain and the overseas territories do not have diplomatic representations, although the governments of the overseas territories with indigenous populations all retain a representative office in London. The United Kingdom Overseas Territories Association (UKOTA) also represents the interests of the territories in London. The governments in both London and territories occasionally meet to mitigate or resolve disagreements over the process of governance in the territories and levels of autonomy.[47][dead link]
Britain provides financial assistance to the overseas territories via the Department for International Development. Currently[when?] only Montserrat and Saint Helena receive budgetary aid (i.e. financial contribution to recurrent funding).[citation needed] Several specialist funds are made available by the UK, including:
The territories have no official representation in the UK Parliament, but have informal representation through the All-Party Parliamentary Group,[48] and can petition the UK Government through the Directgov e-Petitions website.[49] Only Gibraltar has representation in the European Parliament and it shares its Member with the region of South West England.
Foreign affairs of the overseas territories are handled by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. Some territories maintain diplomatic officers in nearby countries for trade and immigration purposes. Several of the territories in the Americas maintain membership within the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, the Caribbean Community, the Caribbean Development Bank, Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, and the Association of Caribbean States. The territories are members of the Commonwealth of Nations through the United Kingdom. The inhabited territories compete in their own right at the Commonwealth Games, and three of the territories (Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands) sent teams to the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Gibraltar is the only overseas territory that is part of the European Union (EU), although it is not part of the European Customs Union, the European Tax Policy, the European Statistics Zone or the Common Agriculture Policy. Gibraltar is not a member of the European Union in its own right. The Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus are not part of the European Union, but they are the only British overseas territory to use the Euro as official currency. None of the other Overseas Territories are members of the EU, the main body of EU law does not apply and, although certain slices of EU law are applied to those territories as part of the EU's Association of Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT Association), they are not commonly enforceable in local courts. The OCT Association also provides overseas territories with structural funding for regeneration projects.
Since the return of full British citizenship[50] to most 'belongers' of overseas territories (mainly since the British Overseas Territories Act 2002), the citizens of those territories hold concurrent European Union citizenship, giving them rights of free movement across all EU member states.
Several nations dispute the UK's sovereignty in the following overseas territories:
The many British overseas territories use a varied assortment of currencies, including the British Pound, US dollar, or their own currencies which may be pegged to either.
|Native currency
Falkland Islands pound (parity with Pound Sterling)
Gibraltar pound (parity with Pound Sterling)
Saint Helenian pound (parity with Pound Sterling)
United States dollar (de facto)[51][52]
Eastern Caribbean dollar (2.7EC$=1US$)
Bermudian dollar (parity with United States dollar)
Cayman Islands dollar (1KY$=1.2US$)
None of the overseas territories has its own nationality status, and all citizens are classed as British Overseas Territories citizens (BOTC). They do however, have legislative independence over immigration, and holding the status of a BOTC does not automatically give a person a right of abode in any of the territories, as it depends on the territory's immigration laws. A territory may issue Belonger status to allow a person classed as a BOTC to reside in the territory that they have close links with. Non-BOTC citizens may acquire Belonger status in order to reside in a particular territory (and may subsequently become naturalised BOTC if they wish).
Historically, most inhabitants of the British Empire held the status of British subject, which was usually lost upon independence. From 1949, British subjects in the United Kingdom and the remaining colonies became citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies. However changes in British immigration and nationality law between 1962 and 1983 saw the creation of a separate British Dependent Territories citizenship (BDTC) with effect from January, 1983. Citizens in most territories were stripped of full British citizenship. This was mainly to prevent a mass exodus of the citizens of Hong Kong to the UK before the agreed handover to China in 1997. Exception was made for the Falkland Islands, which had been invaded in 1982 by Argentina. Full British citizenship was soon returned to the people of Gibraltar due to their friction with Spain.
However, the British Overseas Territories Act 2002 replaced British Dependent Territory citizenship with British Overseas Territories citizenship (BOTC), and restored full British citizenship to all BOTCs except those from Akrotiri and Dhekelia. This restored to BOTCs the right to reside in the UK.
British citizens however, do not have an automatic right to reside in any of the Overseas Territories. Some territories prohibit immigration, and any visitors are required to seek the permission of the territory's government to live in the territory. As they are used primarily as military bases, Ascension Island and the British Indian Ocean Territory do not allow visitors to the territory unless on official business.
Defence of the Overseas Territories is the responsibility of the UK. Many of the overseas territories are used as military bases by the UK and its allies.
Each overseas territory has been granted its own flag and coat of arms by the British monarch. Traditionally, the flags follow the Blue Ensign design, with the Union Flag in the canton, and the territory's coat of arms in the fly. Exceptions to this are Bermuda which uses a Red Ensign; British Antarctic Territory which uses a White Ensign; British Indian Ocean Territory which uses a Blue Ensign with wavy lines to symbolise the sea; and Gibraltar which uses a banner of its coat of arms (the flag of the city of Gibraltar).
Akrotiri & Dhekelia is the only British overseas territory without an official flag of its own. The Union Flag is used in this territory and is also used for Ascension Island.
As a British Overseas Territory, all apart from Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands do not have a recognised National Olympic Committee (NOC); the British Olympic Association is recognised as the appropriate NOC for such athletes and thus athletes who hold a British passport are eligible to represent Great Britain at the Olympic Games.[57]
Shara Proctor from Anguilla, Delano Williams from the Turks and Caicos Islands, Jenaya Wade-Fray from Bermuda[58] and Georgina Cassar from Gibraltar[59] strived to represent Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics. Proctor, Wade-Fray and Cassar[59] qualified for Team GB, with Williams missing the cut, however wishing to represent the UK in 2016.[60][61]
The British Overseas Territories have more biodiversity than the entire UK mainland. There are at least 180 endemic plant species in the overseas territories as opposed to only 12 on the UK mainland. Responsibility for protection of biodiversity and meeting obligations under international environmental conventions is shared between the UK Government and the local governments of the territories.[62]
Two areas, Henderson Island in the Pitcairn Islands as well as the Gough and Inaccessible Islands of Tristan Da Cunha are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and two other territories, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Saint Helena are on the United Kingdom's tentative list for future UNESCO World Heritage Sites.[63][64]
The three regions of biodiversity hotspots situated in the British Overseas Territories are the Caribbean Islands, the Mediterranean Basin and the Oceania ecozone in the Pacific.[62]

I need advice
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 07-14-2014 - 5:25pm
About 6 months ago i started working closely with a male co-worker who is unhappily married and i am in a relationship that i have not been very happy in as well. I am attracted to this co-worker and hes attracted to me. At first it was innocent we would go to lunch and talk about our problems in our relationships and compare notes. Recently about a month and a half ago we started going out for drinks after work and of course we had to lie about it to our significant others. Last week we went out and we kissed for the first time and he said he has been thinking about me ever since 6 months ago and i felt the same way. That night my boyfriend caught me in a lie and i told him the truth about my co-worker minus the kiss. This past weekend has been hell with my boyfriend as i said i would stop seeing my coworker outside of work which i also told my co-worker and he didnt want it to end but i said it has to because its just plain wrong and i dont think its going anywhere good. So its monday morning said co-worker has called in sick and i think i realize that i do have strong feelings for him and im not sure i want to continue in my relationship with my boyfriend of 5 years. Please help.

I am not against the idea of having an affair in general, but would strongly advice against conducting one at the workplace. Some companies have policies againt employees having romantic relationships (to the point that they even discourage single people from dating each other). Some are more relax, but there are simply too many things that can go wrong which would make the work envirnonment awkward for you and others around you.
If you are not happy in your relationship, is there any reason that you would not end it?
|Mon, 07-14-2014 - 11:57pm
You have two different problems. You're in a bad relationship, you're not happy in it. So, get out of the relationship! That's a no brainer. The affair is a whole other problem. First of all, an affair with a co-worker is a big no no......some companies actually forbid it. But even if they don't frown on it, what happens when you two get tired of each other, or his wife finds out and causes trouble at work......and trust me, many do! Even if he says his marriage is unhappy, maybe HE's the one that's unhappy, and his wife is clueless that she's married to a cheater. I've never heard a cheater say that he's happy at home......it would be kind of hard to get women if he said that. I've known men to have long term affairs with NO intention of ever getting a divorce. My ex was one of them! He was with someone for 5 years...and I got sick of it, so I divorced him. BUT, he begged me not to, he told me how much he loved me and the children, he even threatened suicide. He didn't commit suicide! He totally ignored his sons, and didn't pay his child support. Meantime, he married again within a few months, NOT the 5 year affair woman, a different one. She divorce him too. Get your life in order......end your bad relationship, and get out and make new friends and get happy THAT way. In 99% of affairs, the woman is the loser. And the longer you stay with him, the more it will hurt when it ends. And always remember, a cheater is a cheater.......and if they cheat WITH you, they will cheat ON you eventually.

You stop contact with the coworker while you figure out if you want to stay with your bf. If not, then end it with him before you start seeing anybody else. It is kinder to him and you will feel better about yourself too. Meanwhile your coworker can decide what to do about his marriage without you confusing the issue. I realize that it will be hard because you have been having an emotional affair for months but you really need to try to separate the problems.
If you and coworker want to resume your affair, find out what the company policy is, like others said it may be forbidden meaning one or both of you could get fired. At the least its usually awkward when coworkers date and then break up. And since your AP is married you will probably get labeled as a home wrecker, even if he initiated things. Unfortunately the woman seems to get more blame and scorn from the coworkers...and believe me, other people in the workplace notice what's going on.

Bright red color. Powerful dark berry and candied cherry aromas are complicated by black cardamom, cured tobacco and dried flowers. Fleshy bitter cherry and dark chocolate flavors show an intriguing amaro-like bitterness, with chewy texture and slow-mounting tannins. Finishes with surprising energy and excellent lift, echoing the bitter cherry and tobacco qualities.

Lucas Reiner has composed a series of intimate, loosely rendered paintings of trees, each of which stands as a character or personae in Reiner's private narrative.
Reiner's oil and wax paintings on canvas are small (14 x 20 in.), although they seem somehow majestic and tall. Perhaps this is because these dense little paintings are more than just quaint depictions of trees, but encapsulate both their stature and movement as well as a kind of ineffable presence. With titles like Happy One and Come Back, and The Two Made One, Reiner's paintings allude to romantic notions of beauty.
Reiner's palette features dark greens and deep reds, and each painting "assumes its own shape over time, through the manipulation of color and form, light and pictorial space." These paintings retain their history; the decisions to modify and erase, to reapply color or change forms altogether become traces, or "leavings" that are evident in the final finished pieces.
A graduate of the Parson's School of Design in Paris, Reiner approaches trees not as traditional landscapes, but as portraits, and has imbued them with specific traits and attributes to delineate character. One tree is squat and bushy while another leans despairingly away from its own shadow. All beg the obvious question: which tree would you choose for your own? Or better yet, which tree would choose you?

I decided to go for it with the online CLI request for my Citi Diamond Preferred card, which was opened in Feb 2012 and used sparingly (very little use) and has a zero balance (always PIF but again, very little use), and started with a $8300 CL.
After putting in the personal info, here's what the result was:
Your credit line can be immediately increased by $1,000.00 for a total new credit line of $9,300.00.
During the evaluation process, a credit bureau report was not pulled.
Please indicate below whether or not you accept this amount. If you want a lower credit line, call Customer Service at 1-888-766-2484. Outside the U.S., call 605-335-2222.
I declined the $1K CLI, figuring that I may just call and go for a larger increase, at the very least to get a CL of $10K but hopefully higher. I don't mind a HP since Citi pulled EQ when I opened the card and my score has since jumped over 50 pts to over 800 FICO now.
09-21-2012 04:20 AM - edited 09-21-2012 04:21 AM
I would call them for sure. With your score, $10k should be easy.....
Good luck! Let us know the results of the call.
I just made the same request and got the exact same message. I went ahead and accepted the $1000 CLI, mainly because I don't feel like dealing with it! This is also a SD'd card for the moment. I've had the card for a year and have never asked for a CLI, so I figured what-the-heck!
On the first page of the request form (where you enter your income info), is there a message that submitting the form authorizes them to do a credit check? Just wondering, because mine does. Would take the 1k for a SP, but not looking of a HP at this time.
"On the first page of the request form (where you enter your income info), is there a message that submitting the form authorizes them to do a credit check?"
Yep, on the final step before you hit submit there is a little statement that says you authorize Citi to do a credit check if you submit your request. Whether it is a SP or HP seems to be not entirely predictable.
I forgot to mention that I requested a total CL of $15K from the current $8300.

WASHINGTON -- First there's the spark, then the conflagration, followed by the litigation and then, surely, the movie. Call it "Moonlight Fire," and prepare to suspend disbelief.
WASHINGTON -- It is probably too soon to declare a feminist reformation, but a few signs here and there give one hope. Hold it, sirs, don't stop reading yet. I realize that seeing the F-word in the first paragraph is like discovering that your bride is wearing pantyhose, but bear with me.
WASHINGTON -- To paraphrase Roger Miller -- and, indeed, to reveal my vast store of musical trivia -- America swings like a pendulum do.
If projections, human nature and historical bent prevail next Tuesday, we may see a bit of topsy-turvy up on the benighted Hill. Anything still can happen, but it seems as though Republicans may command both the House and Senate beginning next year.
WASHINGTON -- If politicians preying upon your attentions this season fail to inspire, you might seek common cause with the beasts -- the four-legged variety rather than those running for office. Ballot initiatives aimed at protecting bears and wolves from hounding, trapping and other inhumane hunting practices are up for a vote in two states -- Maine and Michigan.
WASHINGTON -- So unpopular is President Obama these days that the (D) following Democratic candidates' names might stand for Denial. And, so desperate are political pundits for any fresh news crumb that a molehill quickly becomes a mountain. One ill-chosen word -- or, worse, failure to answer a reporter's question -- and the candidate is suddenly redrawn into a caricature he doesn't recognize.
WASHINGTON -- Words have a way of seeping into our vocabulary and, through overuse or distortion, soon begin to lose their meaning. Who could have imagined that the word "beheading" would become commonplace, as though we were discussing a sport or a new product?
WASHINGTON -- It has long been accepted by the conventionally wise that the Republican Party is waging a "war on women." Let's be clear. The war on women is based on just one thing -- abortion rights. While it is true that access to abortion has been restricted in several states owing to Republican efforts, it is not true that women as a whole care only or mostly about abortion.
WASHINGTON -- Without prior knowledge or intent, I recently was inducted into a club I had no interest in joining, especially in light of the $200 initiation fee.
WASHINGTON -- About that stunning defeat. Conventional Wisdom, that self-righteous propagandist, has it that Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's trouncing by an academic, tea-sipping nobody marks the end of the GOP establishment.
WASHINGTON -- So much for the argument that having more people armed in public places will result in fewer gun deaths.
WASHINGTON -- The exchange of five Guantanamo detainees for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has reminded us of three unpleasant facts of life: The United States does negotiate with terrorists; the president will circumvent laws as circumstances require; Republicans and Democrats will be summarily outraged as party affiliations seem to require.
WASHINGTON -- To hear tell, the mean ol' GOP is waging war on Michelle Obama and, brace yourself, America's children.Got it?The newest war on women/children relates to the first lady's well-intentioned but disastrous school nutrition program, otherwise known as the Dumpster Derby.
WASHINGTON -- Former President George W. Bush once said, rather proudly, that he didn't read newspapers. President Barack Obama, a confirmed newsie, has claimed to read the major papers, perhaps to learn what's going on in his own administration.
WASHINGTON -- Just when you thought American higher learning couldn't get any more ridiculous, along come demands for warning labels on provocative works of literature.
WASHINGTON -- When my neighbor gleefully reported that Bill Maher had dedicated a searing monologue to me for a column about the Donald Sterling/Cliven Bundy rants, my first thought was, Nah. If I tussled with everybody who tossed a brick through the window, I'd never get the draperies hung.
WASHINGTON -- This is the time when Americans renew their hatred of Washington and Washington wallows in a bittersweet cocktail of self-love and self-loathing. Which is to say, this is White House Correspondents' Association weekend, with the dinner Saturday night amid a galaxy of pre- and after-parties. Attendant to these events is the also annual handwringing about the dinner's value.
WASHINGTON -- The Cliven Bundy spectacle in Nevada has provided a Wild West backdrop for our hottest political issues as we gallop toward the midterm elections.
Politically, the conflict between the Bureau of Land Management and the Bundy family has highlighted the importance of picking one's battles wisely. Suffice to say, a smattering of pundits and politicians drank from the wrong chalice.
WASHINGTON -- The word is out that Chelsea Clinton is with child, making the favorite Democratic presidential nominee a soon-to-be grandmother.
The headlines were inevitable -- "Grandma Hillary" -- followed by the similarly crucial question: Will being a grandmother help or hurt Hillary Clinton's chances in the 2016 election?
WASHINGTON -- The new "agreement" between Russia, the U.S. and our allies is exactly what the former KGB agent ordered. This isn't to say it's not a good "prospect" for ending tensions in Ukraine, as President Obama has said. But neither should it surprise anyone that Vladimir Putin is willing to step back from that country -- not to ease economic sanctions but to satisfy his own designs.
WASHINGTON -- One approaches the race fray with trepidation, but here we go, tippy-toe.
The race cards have been flying so fast and furious lately, one can hardly tell the kings from the queens.
WASHINGTON -- In selecting Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman as host of the "Late Show," CBS has waged war on America's heartland -- or so proclaims that Palm Beach font of heartland mirth, Rush Limbaugh. Don't you believe it, Heartlanders.
WASHINGTON -- H.L. Mencken gets a workout in election years when voters are reminded by pundits of the curmudgeon's observation that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. Mean. But true?
WASHINGTON -- "Once an agent, always an agent." This was the terse response of Nina Khrushcheva on New Year's Eve 1999 when her mother commented favorably about the new president, Vladimir Putin, who was then speaking on TV.
WASHINGTON -- There's nothing quite so helpful as a fatwa and threats of a Christian boycott to create buzz in advance of a new movie. "Noah," scheduled for its U.S. release on March 28, has become such a target. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have banned the movie because it depicts a prophet, which, as Danish cartoonists will attest, isn't the peachiest of ideas in certain circles.
WASHINGTON -- I must need to smoke pot. How else to explain why I wasn't getting President Obama's interview on "Between Two Ferns," the Web show hosted by Zach Galifianakis of "The Hangover" fame.
WASHINGTON -- In matters cultural, California has always been America's petri dish. Whatever happened in California usually infiltrated the rest of the country. Today there is reason to hope that other trends collecting on our far-left coast (geographically speaking) might infect the nation, especially in matters of governance and fiscal responsibility.
WASHINGTON -- President Obama's new outreach initiative to help at-risk boys of color -- "My Brother's Keeper" -- is cause for cheer. It isn't that we haven't known for some time that minority boys are in trouble. Poor school performance, truancy, delinquency and, ultimately, high incarceration rates cannot be separated from the absence of fathers in many homes. Out-of-wedlock births are now at 72 percent in the African-American community and 53 percent among Latinos, compared to 29 percent among non-Hispanic whites.
WASHINGTON -- It is easy these days to imagine that one is living in a fairy tale, albeit a dreary one. In fairy tales, as in Washington, things are true that can't possibly be -- and what is not true can be defended by tilting the facts a certain way and catching the light just so.
WASHINGTON -- President Obama is correct in wanting to make higher education more affordable and accessible, but Americans would also be correct in wondering just what they're paying for.
WASHINGTON -- The question du jour is, why did Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer wait so long to step forward and level her corruption charges at Chris Christie? As surely everyone knows by now, Zimmer claims that following Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno told her that Hoboken wouldn't receive relief funds unless the mayor supported a commercial development project favored by Christie.

Great topic! Getting information on how to stay away from the flu is very important! I had the flu early this year and it was awful! I'll definitely be keeping these ideas in mind for next year.
