Vegetable growing cheat sheet - Imgur. Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. DIY Infused Olive Oils. I'm really excited about Christmas this year.
We're going up to see Dan's family again, which is always fun, but even more exciting — the cousins are doing a Kris Kringle gift swap! The only other time I've been part of a gift swap/Secret Santa exchange was freshman year of college, and I remember it being a lot of fun. There's something really exhilarating about sneaking around behind someone's back, gathering data and trying to figure out what they want for Christmas… The only problem with being Secret Santa for Dan's cousins is that I don't know all of them that well. Over the years I've tended to have more interactions with some than others – nothing personal, just a timing/geography thing.

3 Members of US Civil Rights Commission Warn Amnesty will Increase Black Unemployment
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On April 12, 2013 @ 11:01 am In The Point | 8 Comments
And if you can follow the math on this, higher unemployment leads to more crime, social tension and social welfare use. The cost from even a 1 percent increase in black unemployment would be severe.
Three members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights urged the Congressional Black Caucus to consider how the immigration proposal could cause black Americans to lose job opportunities.
"The obvious question is whether there are sufficient jobs in the low-skilled labor market for both African-Americans and illegal immigrants," USCCR members Peter Kirsanow, Abigail Thernstrom, and Gail Heriot in a letter sent today to Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio. "The answer is no."
The members recalled a 2008 USCCR hearing that concluded that amnesty would harm black Americans.
"The briefing witnesses, well-regarded scholars from leading universities and independent groups, were ideologically diverse," they wrote. "All the witnesses acknowledged that illegal immigration has a negative impact on black employment, both in terms of employment opportunities and wages."
Kirsanow and Thernstrom are Republican appointees to the commission. Heriot is a registered independent who was appointed by Congress.
Considering that a sizable chunk of the Republican Party has climbed on board the amnesty train, even a Republican dissent is significant. Abigail Thernstrom is a serious well-regarded scholar. Heriot is an independent. None of these are people who come from the right.
The opposing view all involves delving into an imaginary utopia in which legalizing illegals will somehow cause an economic boom that will offset all the negatives.
The economic argument for illegal alien amnesty is not fundamentally different than Obama's budgets. It depends on a completely implausible belief that destructive policies will lead to runaway growth and then calculates the economic effect of those policies in line with the unrealistic projections.

- ERS has created a new reimbursement form in ERS called Travel Arranger Airfare Expenses. The Travel Arranger Airfare Expenses reimbursement Form is used when one pcard holder arranges travel for a group of individuals. The ERS report will include all the airfare for the travelers. Please make sure if the expenses are for non-employees there is a note that all travelers are US citizens and that a VISIT form is on file in the department.
- If a traveler is a Non-US Citizen,a separate ERS report should be completed so the visa information can be captured and the VISIT form and appropriate documentation must be scanned into the report.
- If the traveler is being reimbursed for other expenses, a separate report should be completed in their name to keep all the expenses together.
Travel Mileage
- The Internal Revenue Service announced today that the personal mileage reimbursement rate will be increased to $0.560. cents per mile effective January 1, 2014. The Employee Reimbursement System has been updated with the new rate and effective date to ensure reimbursement of mileage for travel occurring on or after January 1, 2014 will be calculated using the new rate.
Entertainment Vendors are prohibited from doing any business whatsover with Penn State:
- The Smith Agency out of Grand Rapids, Michigan has been permanently prohibited (includes all events regardless of insurance requirements). If any campus receives any calls from The Smith Agency simply notify them the University is unable to do business with them and if there are any questions direct them to contact Richel Perretti in Risk Management.
- The company Cutting Edge Productions, which also goes by the name CEP Inc., out of Grand Rapids, Michigan is prohibited until their insurance meets the University's insurance requirements. This was effective late 2011 and Cutting Edge Productions has been recently reminded about Penn State's insurance requirements so they are aware of what they need to do to become compliant. It is important to note that this applies to any and all events with Cutting Edge Productions even if it is an activity we would not request proof of insurance for. (NOTE: the company Cutting Edge Entertainment and Event Planning LLC is
not the same entity.)
No contracts with these two companies should be signed at any point unless you have secured Risk Management approval.

Living Simply: Creating a New Life Off the Grid
Seeking a simpler lifestyle, we left San Juan Island and moved to a log cabin in northern British Columbia, beyond the reach of telephone and power lines. Our neighbors are moose, bear, wolf, and beaver.

Seeds of Friendship
Today I was in the vegetable garden weeding the row of raspberries. New canes emerged an inch or two up through the soil. This is their second year, so we should get a good crop. These first few days of garden work remind me of last spring when our garden was begun…

Drink Your Coffee, Save a Bird
(Photo: Dave Menke) When we are in the states, we enjoy a cup of Starbuck's coffee. Here in Canada, there is always Tim Horton's. But at the outset of our cross-country trip looking for hope, we met a man who believes there is more to a cup of coffee than taste. His name is Wes Bergman and he owns and runs the Blue Moose Coffee House in Hope, B.C. He sells 'coffee with a conscious.' On his website he states, We are happy to announce that all our coffee is now Fair Trade – Organic – Shade Grown. Ethical Bean from Vancouver roasts our Coffee. That was our first introduction to Ethical Bean coffee. All of this coincides with watching the return of our migratory birds, and a book I am currently reading called, SILENCE OF THE SONGBIRDS by Bridget Stutchbury. Stutchbury is a leading authority on the science of migratory songbirds, and the news is not good: "The bird migration system that is the heart of our northern lands is slowly but steadily eroding. By some estimates, we may have alread

The Scenic Route
Going to town. I was reminded the other day, that "going to town" for the locals meant going to Terrace or Smithers. I had mistakenly said that Bob had gone into town, referring to Kitwanga. There is only one major road into "Town" – Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway), which stretches from Prince George in the interior to Prince Rupert on the northern coast. When accidents, washouts, or landslides occur on this road, you are stuck because there are few if any detours available. It takes us about ninety minutes to get from our cabin to Terrace, depending upon road conditions. Not exactly a quick trip to the shopping mall or convenience store, and with fuel prices rising almost daily it is not a trip to be taken lightly. But it has its advantages. One is that there is virtually no traffic… we have gone miles without seeing another vehicle on the road. The other plus factor is the sheer beauty. Highway 16 to Terrace follows the Skeena River through mile high mountains. So we just relax, enj

Action, Not Words
Well, Earth Day is over. All the news sources have had their innocuous 'Green' reports like CBC/BC who wanted to know "Who do you think is the greenest person in Vancouver?" The LA Times featured a Travel article, Top 10 responsible travel tips for Earth Day, and there were eco-tips from Macy's, "Switch from incandescent to compact fluorescent, long lasting, energy saving, one bright idea." Many op-ed pieces were written, some of which were no more than a rearrangement of words that have already been written before. And I found myself becoming angry when I read a manipulated piece of misinformation called, Junk Science: A New 'Green' Body Count Begins. I was all ready to jump into the middle of things… then I stopped. Isn't that part of the problem? Too many voices all shouting at the top of their lungs and no one listening? It has become a war of words, and there will be no winners – only consequences. So rather than add my own rant to all the others, I am simply going to give an exa

Earth Day at the Cabin
. . Two things happened here on Earth Day. In the morning we spotted a beautiful thick-furred coyote walking down our driveway. He was in no hurry… just out for a leisurely stroll, and maybe a little vole or deer mouse if one happened to be handy. Eventually he turned off the dirt track, crossed under the crab apple tree and slipped into the woods. I always keep my camera and telephoto lens on the table next to the front window for events like this. I'm going to have to do a better job at keeping the windows clean though!

Robin Rescue
"I've found eleven robins' nest so far this spring," Jeremy Bedwell told me when we first met his family, "twelve actually, but ravens found one and already got the babies." We met the Bedwells, a small farm family several kilometers down the road from us last June. A few days later we were helping the family move things to higher ground as the worst flooding in 35-years swept away their newly planted cabbage and carrot fields. I was touched when Jeremy showed me where he had put a robin's nest to keep it safe from the rising floodwaters… that even during this moment of crisis, the fate of three baby birds had not been overlooked. Momma Robin was fully aware of the emergency move and continued to fly to the relocated nest with tidbits for her babies. I recently read a reprint of Rachel Carson's THE SENSE OF WONDER. In the introduction to the book, Linda Lear writes, "She (Carson) hoped her book would inspire adults and children alike to experience the sensory and emotional in nature,

Our Favorite Planet
(Photo NASA) Tomorrow is Earth Day. The first Earth Day, conceived by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, was celebrated on April 22, 1970. He passed away July 2005 at the age of 89, but prior to his death he answered some of the questions he was most often asked about how he conceived of the first Earth Day, why, and what his hopes for the observance had been.

Listening to Opposing Views
When I spoke of demanding Truth a few days ago, a visitor to the site correctly asked, "Whose truth?" In my own mind, I meant verifiable truth like the overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is happening and that human activity is responsible, and investigative documentation such as the one by David Barstow in Sunday's New York Times, Behind TV Analysts, the Pentagon's Hidden Hand. Belief and truth can be one and the same, or very different. There are people who believe that the world is flat and that the Holocaust did not happen. Does that belief make it true? For me, truth comes with critical thinking as defined in the dictionary: "disciplined intellectual criticism that combines research, knowledge of historical context, and balanced judgment."

Wonders Big and Small
The sun rose at 6:14 this morning and we actually saw it today – well, not at 6:14 – but for the first time since our return to the cabin, I could look out our front window and see Woodcock Mountain in full view. The forecast calls for a few more days of sunshine and we will enjoy every one.

I love this fixture. I kept seeing the $1,000 version and wanted it. Buying this copy felt like a risk but I'm so glad I did. I've put it in my home office in our new house. It's feminine and classy and I get lots of compliments. It was easy to put together though it does take some time to attach all of the balls. The one difference between this fixture and the expensive one is that this one has a clear wire going from the canopy into a center hub that is attached to the spokes leading to each light. I didn't like that the wire was visible so I covered it with narrow, chrome-colored cable cover. It looks like it's been there forever. With 5 lights, there is more than enough light for the entire room. Another great Overstock purchase.
The fixture sparkles and looks like a much more expensive piece. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the directions are not detailed.Also, I was told that because the 1 of the 5 light bulbs sits with the base upside down, the one socket in the fixture requires a special bulb. This is according to a lighting expert with whom I spoke. He said that when a candleabra light sits with the base up (as opposed to the "usual" base down), the heat is generated upward over the base and if the right bulb isn't in that socket, the fixture is at increased risk for fire. Not being a light expert myself, I have to take his word for it. Just be aware that you might require at least 1 special bulb for the "base-up" socket.
I was surprised by the large number of broken crystals. I didn't discover the broken crystals until after the electrician was paid for installing the fixture (as I was following other reviewers' wise advice to install the crystals AFTER hanging the chandelier). I was advised that new crystals will be arriving from China. If they arrive, though, I will be 100% satisfied. If not, I am in a pickle indeed....and down the electrician's fee for installation. As an aside, I do concur with others that the crystals should be installed post-instAlation. Check them upon arrival, perhaps.
The light is perfect! I hung it in my dining room and it looks gorgeous and much more expensive that what I paid for it. I have been searching for a dining room light for approximately 1 year and I knew this was the one as soon as I opened the box. Also included were extra fasteners, chains and glass.
We absolutely love this chandelier BUT just be warned....it comes in 200 plus pieces. Be sure that you have help because every "bubble" is individually wrapped and must be hung to the metal fixture. It was actually fun putting it together, but we will have an electrician hang it. For the money (and way less than the Robert 'bling" original) it's worth it!
Absolutely gorgeous light! Everyone loves it when they see it.
it looks like a work of art, the light that reflects from the crystals onto the walls is gorgeous
Perfectly gorgeous, just as it looks in pics. You do have to assemble every single glass ball, but it is well worth the effort.
I bought this chandelier to hang above my kitchen island, it looks beautiful.
This is a beautiful fixture for the price. I'm in love.

Absolute PowerReviewed by: Dale Mason Very Offensive
Moviemaking Quality:
Primary Audience:
121 min.
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Laura Linney / Director: Clint Eastwood A philandering President. A globe-trotting "first lady" with an agenda all her own. Loyal law enforcement officers who transgress the law in order to hide their leader's scandalous actions. A White House staff member who commits suicide because he can no longer deal with the pent-up guilt he carries for his own part in covering up for the President… It's hard to believe that this big-budget, politically-incorrect drama even got made, let alone released to the theaters of America! With its amazing similarity to some of the most notorious headlines of the present presidency, the only thing missing was a booming narrator's voice "…only the names have been changed, to protect the innocent." "Absolute Power" is a story about an extremely skillful and "respected" burglar (Clint Eastwood) who witnesses an illicit bedroom tryst which turns violent. He watches in disbelief from behind a one-way mirror as a seductive young women is suddenly murdered at the hands of America's most powerful man (Gene Hackman) and his most loyal staff members. It is also about a father who seeks to restore his relationship with his only daughter, a relationship crushed by his own actions many years earlier. This script weaves three primary themes: betrayal, restoration, and "justice". It is an eye-opening reminder that "absolute power corrupts absolutely." Carefully crafted, it makes the "bad guy" look good (burglar/vigilante is the hero) and those who are normally trustworthy (Secret Service agents, the President of the USA, etc.) to appear unworthy of admiration. Amazingly, "Absolute Power" probably would not even have made it into production just a few years ago. It simply does not engender respect for the office of the President. But, the writers seem to have observed national news reports carefully as they developed this script. "Absolute Power" is clearly based, in part, on the current social and political situation of the American presidency—a man faced with allegations of deceipt and sexual, political, and financial scandal. …Unfortunately, this production probably won't have any truly beneficial effect on society. No other generation of American adults has been as apathetic about the "personal life" of their leader as the parents and grand-parents of the 1990's. (Includes 9 profanities, near-rape sexual violence, blood spattering murder, and simulated oral sex—no nudity, but you know exactly what's going on.) Year of Release—1997 (February 14, 1997 wide) I'm concerned about that reviewer who says she can't remember Eastwood's films combining violence and sex. What about Unforgiven which won awards. I haven't seen any of Clint's work since the foul Good, Bad and Ugly in 1968. Another person said the film was very realistic. That's a frequently expressed term of admiration for movies which isn't valid. My pastor and his wife are realistic subjects but you don't see lives like theirs depicted in movies.
They also are exciting lives as they help the many people in their congregation. Concerning this film and many others of the modern mode, I see no valid reason for showing the sex act just because it happens. It is a private matter between the parties involved and only sick people would want to see someone's private sexually behavior. —Jo McCord, age 55 In response to Warren, I said I don't think it is wrong to make films where the president is the suspect(Vince Foster's death had a lot of mystery to it, I might add at no extra cost). I HAVE NEVER SEEN "Absolute Power" and I don't like subjecting myself to gore, profanity or nudity. I think making films with those elements is sick, demented and gross. I was merely stating that the concept of a fictional president hiding murder information is not a disrespectful one.
—Michael C., age 15 I saw Absolute Power. I thought that it was an okay movie. I really could have done withouth the first 15 minutes of the movie. That was horrible. Other than that, I would go and see it again.
—Rebecca Wolfe, age 24 I… went to see Absolute Power and Shine. Although both movies contain nudity and violence, which no longer shocks me, (I have been to desensitized as George Will would say). I still found both movies to be horrifying. At least Shine had some good music and a few heartwarming seens. The only redeeming point about Absolute Power was the relationship between Eastwood's character and his on screen daughter. I always suspect that Clint is delving (sp) up things from his personal life in scenes like those where a high class thief, Clint has always played sort of grey good and bad guys, is having heart to heart talks with his estranged daughter. I wonder what Eastwood's religious beliefs are? I still admire some of his movies. I liked "In the Line of Fire." Fire still has lots of violence but I don't recall there being any objectionable sex scenes. Absolute is the first Eastwood movie where I can remember explicit sex and violence in tandem.
—Sterling Levell, age 34 Where have we come as Christians when teenagers can watch this garbage and not find the opening scene offensive and freightening? Have we so de-sensitized our children that they can "comfortably" view this and comment on it as if it were a baseball game. Why should it be a surprise when young people indiscriminately kill others when we, the "adults" give them absolutely no example of respect for human life? Just how close to the bottom are we?
—Warren Rue, age 55 It is hard to not like the anti-hero main character of this film. Mr. Eastwood is a thief with "high moral standards" who's main desire in life is to re-establish the broken relationship with his grown daughter… and to steal a few million dollars as well. The way in which he engineers the downfall of the guilty is intriguing. However, once again, Hollywood has added too much implied sex and too much graphic violence. As with most films, it gets silly towards the end and then ends ludicrously.
—Steve Ulrich, age 38 I was disappointed by this movie. I found it too predictable. Boring. However, Clint's character does have his moments. I went thinking that with Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman it HAD to be good. If you have time to kill, give it a shot. If you can't afford to be disappointed-don't bother. Please don't take the kids! **
—Karen, age 33 (In my opinion) it's not disrespectful to do films like this about the President. There's another one with Wesley Snipes called "Murder at 1600" coming out in April and because our President (is accused of trying to) cover up and lie about such cases as filegate, Whitewatergate, travelgate, Indogate, Lippogate and illegal contributions and fundraisers, I wouldn't be surprised if he did cover up a murder if he had to. …He still hasn't admitted what he did to Paula Jones (which, hasn't struck the media yet, has more evidence than the Anita Hill case).
—Michael C., age 15 Absolute Power is as dramatic and suspenseful as any Eastwood film couldbe expexted to be. With the exception of the unneccessarily explicit bedroom scene, my wife and I found the film to be well written and produced. It is a sad statement concerning the condition of our world, but the characters and circumstances are very believable. Given the current occupants of the White House, This film could well have been based on actual events (With allowances for theatrical license).
—Glenn Wyant, age 30 |

Eyes and ears intent, Edith Silvas celebrated her belated birthday the way she wanted to - listening to a poet she has long admired.
The 46-year-old made a special trip from Houston to Victoria on Thursday after learning Arab-American poet Naomi Shihab Nye would be the spring semester inaugural speaker for the University of Houston-Victoria's American Book Review series.
"Her words to me are just so healing and helpful," said Silvas.
Nye captured the audience in the packed Alcorn Auditorium with her soothing, passionate voice as she read through some of her collection of poetry and short stories.
Between the readings, she talked about a message - a message of open-mindedness, diversity and the simple luxuries in life usually taken for granted.
"No, I was not busy when you came; I was not preparing to be busy," she read from one of her pieces, "The Red Brocade." "That's the armor that everyone put on to pretend they had a purpose in the world."
Nye went on to explain that the places she has visited around the world have always seen and heard of Americans being busy. This she doesn't agree with.
"This is the stereotype of our country," she said. "I urge you to identify words that don't serve you and cast them aside. Words that do not belong in your lexicon."
Nye first become interested in poetry as a young girl, reading and digesting content like Emily Dickinson's work.
One of Nye's poems, "Knowing," was about things she discovered after her father's death. She found her Palestinian father's scrapbook, filled with letters to editors of American newspaper he had sent in 1950s. Among them were a letter to Eleanor Roosevelt and her response.
This, and several of her other readings, focused on racial diversity and the importance of embracing being different.
"On April 16, 1953, Eleanor Roosevelt wrote a letter to my father answering one of his own. 'No,' she said, 'I do not think Arab refugees should be permitted to return to their homes in Israel. There are few homes to return to,'" she read. "I imagined his face - perfect burn of indignation. He would carry his lost home into the next millennium and never enter it again, though it remains intact till now."
Her readings went on, and people listened closely, admiring each word delicately, taking it in, understanding it and applying it to their lives in different ways.
This, Nye said, is the power of poetry.
"It's that sense that we could be given worlds through four lines, eight lines and participate in another's experience was what made me fall in love with the slow, carefully shaped language of poetry," she said.

In the meantime, bids for the next phase of the project had been opened and awarded to a Mississippi company. The next question will be if the money from the federal government will be available to move the project forward.
Gilbert said no announcement about the funding had been made, but remained optimistic.
"I think this project will be funded, just so we can get it over with," he said.
The next phase will involve paving and putting cement over the apron.
The board has said on many occasions over the years that creating a cargo hub was a top priority, and the construction of a cargo apron is essential in reaching this goal.
Also Tuesday, the board:
• Discussed a possible tenant for the old Harley-Davidson building, who Chairman Ray Miller said was no longer returning calls.
• Discussed beaver dams that were causing persistent drainage problems. Removal of the dams had failed, so the board will now try to use Octagon soap to get rid of the beavers.
• Agreed to send Miller and other interested board members to Albertville to discuss a flight school.

A recent Johns Hopkins study reveals the unique care challenges blended families face (stepparents and their children, and this video interview from HuffPostLIVE covers the news in detail. The research states that adult children feel less obligated to provide for a stepmother or father, and conversely, stepparents are less willing to ask their stepchildren for help. Biological children — 68% of them — are primarily involved in elder care decision making, compared to only 30% of stepchildren. Is a care crisis emerging among boomers given these stats and the rising divorce rates? Watch to learn more:
As Amy Goyer of AARP shared in the video, step relationships can be very complex; often, there are feelings of resentment, bitterness or guilt among these family members, or there are tensions and difficult dynamics between stepparents and stepchildren. Some of these dynamics are long-standing, others may be the result of a new relationship, but all can be quite complex and add layers to the already multifaceted caregiving experience.
A previous post of ours, Survival Tips: Senior Care Decisions and Stepfamilies, offers advice as well. If you find yourself in a blended family or know someone who is, please share these tips.

One of the best fashion tips I can give is to encourage everyone to mix and max "sensibilities". It is the perfect way to add pizzaz to a 'fit. Like wearing a cardigan with a wedding dress or a casual top with a dressy skirt, contrasting dressy and casual (i.e. sensibilities) is a great way to add visual interest.
Try it, gals!

CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. — A grand jury says a Clackamas County Elections volunteer is facing up to five years in prison and a $125,000 fine. After several ballots were changed right before the November election.
On Thursday, a Clackamas County grand jury says the woman should be charged with two counts of unlawfully altering a cast ballot, two counts of unlawfully voting more than once, and two counts of first-degree official misconduct.
The allegations surfaced two weeks before the national election during Oregon's vote-by-mail election process.

Review: Yogarden, Fisherman's Village, Ko Samui
A funky new yoga studio-cum-cafe has opened down a quiet back street of Ko Samui's cosmopolitan Fisherman's Village. The village is known for its east-meets-the-Med appeal, where trendy coffee shops bump shoulders with upmarket boutiques, and bars and restaurants trade from old Chinese shophouses. The effect is eclectic and charming, making a perfect location for the equally quirky Yogarden.
Yogarden is set in a traditional old Thai house, with the studio being a bright open-air structure cooled by fans and surrounded by the landscaped garden, colourful with orchids. Currently, classes are held at 9:00 and at 18:00 Monday through Friday, as well as Saturday mornings. A kids' room with a babysitter is available for yoga mums with young children; this service needs to be booked in advance.
Yogarden is not a 'do your yoga and leave' kind of place; rather, the idea is to linger in the cafe or garden over a healthy snack and mingle with like-minded people. Healthy goodies are also for sale, and the menu comprises daily specials by co-owner and vegan chef, Ian. In keeping with this social aspect, Yogarden hosts frequent gatherings such as film nights and music sessions. Workshops such as Reiki training are offered. Check their website to see what's on during your visit to Ko Samui.
The old wooden house has been beautifully restored, and colourful tables, artwork, beanbags and cushions have been added to lift what would otherwise have been a dark interior.
Various disciplines of yoga are offered, as well as special classes for kids. Rates are competitive, at 800 baht per week, with the price dropping considerably for longer memberships. Daily rates are also available, with new members given a special of 200 baht for unlimited access for the first week.
As the studio is only a few hundred metres' walk to several excellent accommodation options in Fisherman's Village, chef Ian's wife Bonnie has put together yoga holiday packages, from budget through to upmarket, including a private villa option. These holidays can be customised to include detox plans and various treatments by therapists.
For anyone wanting a little personality out of their yoga studio, and a quiet place to relax away from the crowds, new kid on the block, Yogarden meets the mark.
78 Moo 1, Laan Thong Rd, Fisherman's Village
(On entering Fisherman's Village main gate, turn left immediately after Namcha Teahouse, and follow the road along 200 metres to Yogarden.)

Yields: Enough for 42 cheese straws
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
For the Dough Package:
- 3.00 cup(s) all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 3/4 cup(s) cake flour (not self-rising)
- 1.50 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
- 4.00 tablespoon(s) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1.75 cup(s) cold water
For the Butter Package:
- 1 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cup(s) (3 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
- Make the dough package: Whisk together flours and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers, incorporate butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Form a well in center; pour in cold water. Using your hands, gradually draw flour mixture over water, covering and gathering until mixture begins to come together. In bowl, knead until dough just comes together, about 15 seconds. Pat into a rough ball; turn out onto plastic wrap. Wrap tightly; refrigerate 1 hour.
- Make the butter package: Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons flour on a piece of parchment paper. Place sticks of butter on top; sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons flour. Top with parchment. Using a rolling pin, pound butter to soften and flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Remove top parchment; fold butter package in half onto itself. Replace top parchment; pound until butter is 1/2 inch thick. Repeat 2 or 3 times, or until butter becomes quite pliable. Using your hands, shape into a 6-inch square. Wrap well in plastic; refrigerate until cold, up to 10 minutes.
- Roll dough: Place dough package on a lightly floured work surface. Gently roll dough into a 9-inch round. Place butter package in center of dough round. Using a paring knife or bench scraper, lightly score dough to outline the butter square; remove butter, and set aside. Starting from each side of the center square, gently roll out dough with the rolling pin, forming four flaps, each 4 to 5 inches long; do not touch the raised square in center of dough. Place butter package on center square. Fold flaps of dough over butter to enclose. Press to seal.
- Using the rolling pin, press down on dough at regular intervals over entire surface until it is about 1 inch thick. Gently roll out into a rectangle, about 9 by 20 inches, with one of the short sides closest to you. Keep corners even by squaring them with the side of the rolling pin or your hands. Brush off any excess flour. Starting at the near end, fold the rectangle in thirds as you would a business letter; this completes the first single turn. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 1 hour.
- Repeat step 5, giving it 5 more single turns. (Always start with the flap opening on the right.) Refrigerate 1 hour between each turn. After the sixth and final turn, wrap in plastic; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before using.

China's commitment to growth will drive the global economy
From outside China, the Bo Xilai trial looks like the Chinese news event of the year, one of the preoccupations of Western media, along with corporate corruption and the clampdown on American and European companies. Yet these issues are no more than sideshows to the most important economic event of recent times, the unveiling and ratification of a major program for reforms for the next decade, which will occur at the Chinese government's third plenum in November. The reforms promise to bring another great leap forward in China's dramatic ascent.
Chinese officials will reveal how long China will need to make the transition from an investment-led, middle-income country to an innovative, consumer-driven, high-income one — and thus when it will become the world's largest economy. Can China circumvent what we know as "the middle-income trap" that has for decades denied high-income status for Latin America and Asian countries like Malaysia and Thailand?
The challenges that China's new leadership faces in pushing for rising levels of innovation, entrepreneurship and skills will be the main discussion points this week at the New Champions summit in Dalian, China, organized by the World Economic Forum under the leadership of executive chairman Klaus Schwab. The summit recognizes the important truth that China's degree of success will determine global growth: it will determine whether the twenty-first century w...

Well originally in another thread Haruhi5, I think is the name, asked me to see some of my literature, and since it's been a while I decided to make a descision and finally post in one here so tell me what you think.
Lost, lost like a needle in a haystack. Forever to roam in the every ending nightmare of the burning, eternal, flames of this endless place. Eternal darkness is all I see. For miles it's endless darkness, but the screams of the damned fill my ears. I see one man, being burned alive in the flames. His screams loud and crazy, his body seeming to burn to a crisp. His screams sounded as painful as those being crucified by romans. I just watched him in awe. My hands slowly reaching outward to him, wanting to stroke his burnt skin. And soon, I too felt myself burning in that eternal damnation of an inferno, the screams of the lost souls somehow echoing in my head and ears, and I felt the burden and shackles of hands slowly grabbing at my ankles. It was forever to be my punishment, to burn with the damned. To never see the light of day. I will lose my sanity, my place, my authority, and my purpose all in this place of flames and punishment, in this place called Hell.
