GKSS Spring Cup -The road to Marstrand
Thu, 28 Mar 2013
There are ways to get to into the Open Class of Stena Match Cup Sweden besides having a Tour Card on the Alpari World Match Racing Tour. One way is to compete in the GKSS Spring Cup where the winner is awarded a ticket to compete at Marstrand. This year there is also an extra qualifying spot for the best Swedish team.
GKSS Spring Cup has served as a qualifying event for Stena Match Cup Sweden for several years and the competition has always been fierce between the sailors aspiring to get to Marstrand. For Swedish sailors, the stakes are even higher in this year's event as both the best Swedish team and the best international team will get a ticket to Stena Match Cup Sweden.
Registration for Spring Cup opened in early February and one team that has already applied for an invitation is Viktor Ogeman's Team Accure. They received a wildcard to Stena Match Cup Sweden 2012 after placing forth at last year's Spring Cup.
'The chances of getting to Marstrand are a bit better for Swedish teams this year but it's not going to be easy and there will be plenty of Swedish sailors in the fight for the ticket. To race at Marstrand last year and compete on such a high level was an important and energizing experience for us. That's where we all want to be and our goal is definitely to win the Spring Cup', says Viktor Ogeman, skipper of Team Accure.
The GKSS Spring Cup can lead to a breakthrough for match racing teams on the world stage. Last year's winner of the GKSS Spring Cup, Reuben Corbett from New Zealand, had an impressive run at Marstrand in 2012 and reached the quarterfinals. He will be back with his team in Gothenburg for Spring Cup this year and the aim is set on Marstrand once again.
'I can't wait to compete in May and it would mean a great deal for us to qualify for Stena Match Cup Sweden two years running. That is certainly the goal and we will give it our best shot. Marstrand is one of, if not the best World Tour Event and with the new changes to the Tour format it's even harder to earn entry. Last year, our team made it right through to the quarter finals and we were winning all our races in the quarter finals but still came up short. That really shows the caliber of racing at Marstrand and we would really like to improve on last year's performance and go one better', says Reuben Corbett.
GKSS Spring Cup is run by The Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club and is sailed in Gothenburg on the 25th-- 26th of May. 10 teams will be invited and the registration for an invitation will be open until April 30th. GKSS Spring Cup is an ISAF Grade 3 event and the regatta will be sailed in DS 37 type boats, crewed by five (or if only women crewed by six).
Besides the eight Tour Card Holders of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour and the two teams qualifying in the Spring Cup, two teams will also be given wildcards to enter the Open Class of Stena Match Cup Sweden 2013.

State Audit Finds Some Oversight Issues in Cincy Fire District, No Money Missing
Friday, May 2, 2014
An audit of the Cincinnatus Fire District by the State Comptrollers Office finds the Board of Fire Commissioners, which oversee the the department and its finances need to implement new policies to better safeguard taxpayer funds.
The audit finds the the board did not establish adequate controls to ensure that financial transactions are properly recorded and reported and that fire district moneys are safeguarded. Although the board does have a procurement and code of ethics policies, it did not adopt an investment or credit card use policy.
The lack of a credit card policy may have created an issue with on the the departments former chiefs.
The board discovered that the chief made credit card charges that included personal expenditures at various gas stations totaling $795. The audit says the board required the Fire Chief to return the credit card and to reimburse the District.
For the current year the Cincinnatus Fire District collected over $233 thousand dollars in taxes to provide fire coverage.
The District Treasurer which has turned over a couple times recently submits monthly financial reports to the board, including monthly expense reports. The board it reviews the reports and approves the bills at the monthly board meetings.
Auditors say the report does not include a check sequence. Therefore, the board is not assured that it is reviewing and approving all claims prior to payment. District officials informed auditors that the former chairman reviewed monthly bank statements. However, because he was also authorized to sign the checks, so this was not an adequate control to ensure that the checks listed on the bank statement were legitimate district disbursements.
The review also found department audits were not prepared in a timely manner. however the review found no misappropriation of funds and that all expenses appeared to be legitimate.

Malvin (Mal) Walker
Estes Park resident Mal Walker died Friday, October 25, 2013 with his two daughters by his side. He had turned 93 years old the day before.
Malvin Early Walker was born October 24, 1920 in Indianapolis, IN. His parents were Howard John Walker and Ann Lorraine Moran. He graduated from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis and received a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the Jordan Conservatory, now known as the Butler University, Jordan College of Fine Arts in Indianapolis. Mal interrupted his studies to answer the call of duty to his country. As an officer and Army Ranger, he was aboard one of the Allied ships that fought at Omaha Beach, France. He was wounded after the initial invasion, and spent three months in an English hospital before returning to the front lines on the German-Belgian border. For his injuries, Captain Malvin Walker was awarded the Purple Heart. Later, he would receive a second Purple Heart as well as the Bronze Star and many other medals and awards. After his discharge in 1954, Mal returned to the Jordan Conservatory to complete his Master's Degree in music. He went on to play cello with the Indianapolis Philharmonic, the South bend Symphony and the Jordan Symphony. He wrote several arrangements and scores for string quartets and concertas for stringed bass. His Stringed Quartet Concerta was played at the Rocky Ridge Festival.
Mal was a patriot as well as a contributing member of his community. Mal was married to Joan Leatherman from Oct 19, 1951 to June 26, 1967. In 1983, he moved to Estes Park where he was a member of Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, the Rotary Club of Estes Park where he was a Paul Harris Fellow and Sergeant-at-arms for over 20 years, board member and later Honorary Member of Rocky Ridge Music Festival and Estes Park Music Festival Board, AARP board and the Estes Park Senior Center. He was also Emeritus Director of the Indianapolis Music Ensemble Society. In 1978 he authored the book "Chronological Encyclopedia of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich." On July 10, 2005 Mal was a guest of the Queen of England and the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the ending of World War II. Estes Park has honored him with proclamations of "Mal Walker Day" on February 15, 2004 and February 15, 2013. On November 9, 2012, the government and people of France recognized his contribution to their liberty and bestowed its highest award to Mal with acceptance into the Knighthood of the Legion of Honor. Mal is survived by his two daughters Sara Walker and Julia Walker Krohn, both of Estes Park and grandsons Jonathan and David Krohn, both of Littleton, CO and a brother Wendell Walker of Rio Rancho, NM.
A memorial service will celebrate Mal's life on Monday November 18, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. at the Stanley Music Hall 333 E. Wonderview Ave. in Estes Park. Memorial contributions may be made to Rocky Ridge Music Center in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Mal's family.

Maxi-Cosi Kaia
At a glance
A two-in-one stroller compatible with Maxi-Cosi infant car seats which easily converts to a slim, everyday stroller for an older child.
Suitable for
BabyCenter Editors' review*
What it is
The Kaia is versatile enough to be your everyday stroller from infancy through the early big-kid years. If you've got a newborn, simply pop on a Maxi-Cosi Mico or Prezi infant car seat and you're ready to roll. Older babies and kids up to 50 pounds can doze off in the fully reclinable seat. You'll also appreciate the adjustable footrest, the spacious storage basket, and the parent cup holder. The Kaia folds into a compact, standing position and is easy enough to hoist in and out of a trunk.
What to watch out for
At 19 pounds, the Kaia is not exactly lightweight, and it's a little wide for a stroller that is seemingly streamlined. A carrying strap would improve the stroller's portability when folded. Another con: the harness clips need to be fitted together before being pressed, simultaneously, into the crotch strap.

Welcome to the reservation system for the Kitt Peak Nightly Observing Program.
We want to make sure that your time on Kitt Peak is a truly memorable experience. There is important information found that can make or break your experience on Kitt Peak. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ EVERYTHING! If you have questions, please call the Visitor Center at 520-318-8720.
High atop Kitt Peak sits the largest collection of optical research telescopes anywhere in the world. Each evening, we offer a public program like no other. At our Visitor Center and its three observatories, the public is invited to learn about and gain hands-on experience with what the latest astronomy has to offer. We'll view everything from planets to distant galaxies using our 20- and 16-inch Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes from RC Optical Systems and our 16-inch Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. This program is offered to a small group of participants EVERY NIGHT of the week (although we are closed from July 15 to September 1 for our monsoon season). Now it's your chance to experience Kitt Peak!
While people have always requested a night under the stars on Kitt Peak, it wasn't until the fall of 1996 that this became possible when the public programs were established. Then, in October 2002, expansion to a second dome allowed additional guests to take advantage of the program without increasing the number of participants in each observatory! In early 2006, we were fortunate enough to get our third observatory. Since fall of 2006 we have been scheduling guests in our new roll-off-roof observatory or ROR.
NEW Advanced NOP
You asked for it now you got it! For those who want a more in depth viewing experience. This program is held monthly around the new moon. It is not recommended for beginners. The Advanced NOP covers topics more in depth and concentrates more on telescope viewing. There is no weather option with this program. The calendar page will show which nights are NOP programs and which nights are ANOP programs.
If you've only just found out about the Nightly Observing Program, please consider joining the nearly 7000 people each year who experience the thrill of an evening on Kitt Peak. Discovery and excitement await!
Normally we shut the NOP down July 15th - Aug 31 but for this year we are running a limited test program to see if we can run some summer stargazing events. Our summer rains are sometimes unpredictable. We are offering NOP's on Friday-Sunday nights running July 15 – Aug 31.
Due to the popularity of this program, it is recommended that you make reservations 3 to 4 weeks prior to your visit.
NOP Programs are held regardless of cloudy or clear weather. In the event of cloudy weather a series of unique indoor presentations and hands- on activities and behind the scene telescope tours, will stimulate your curiosity and interest. Refunds or discounts due to inclement weather are not available. Cancellations must be made no later than 24 hours prior to check-in time for your program. Advanced NOP programs require cancellation 48 hours prior to the program. Deposits will be charged for no shows if the 24/48 hour cancellation is not met. In the event of dangerous weather and if we cancel the program, no deposit will be charged. There is NO weather program for the Advance NOP; in the event of bad weather the program will change to a regular NOP type program and your rate will be adjusted.
This program is an introductory star-gazing program. Those looking for a more in-depth overnight experience can reserve a night on the Advanced Observing Program.
Group Rates are available for 10 or more people; please call the Visitor Center at 520-318-8726.

Hunger: A Lenten Meditation
Written by: Andrea Lawse
I've long regarded myself as an intensely hungry person, though not in the physical sense. I don't care inordinately about my dinner, save that it is healthy; yet, I've always experienced the world itself—the concept of it, the vast beauty and mystery of it, as something I desperately long to bring nearer in order to incorporate it into my(S)elf. I experience this longing as hunger to be spiritually and emotionally intimate with the world by "consuming" it—by "feeding upon infinity," as William Wordsworth might say, as if my mind and heart were a great, hungry belly ready to fill itself with the cosmos.
Because of these intense experiences of emotional and spiritual craving, I have come to understand God as that something I'm always trying to 'eat,' really, in the hope that in doing so, my hunger will be satiated. And the way to consume God is by consuming, on a variety of levels, God's Creation, because as I understand it, Creation is meant to draw us into deeper and deeper intimacy with the Creator. I say "consume" because this is precisely what the body, mind, and spirit do: the eyes draw the world in—absorbing light (and matter is, after all, various forms of light); the pores absorb the atmosphere and environment; the mind is saturated by experience of the world, and human identity is shaped by our reflections upon and interactions with the world and its creatures. Finally, we put Creation into our mouths each day and eat it in order to live. The mind and spirit digest all of this "input", or sensorial experience, and grow and learn from it–existing because of it.
In essence, I regard hunger as the root of my being and humanity, as well as my need for God and completion. But, how I go about satisfying my hunger is crucial; uncontrolled appetite can be utterly devastating. I'm reminded of Dante's Inferno, which depicts cannibalism (which is hunger at its most uncontrolled) as the deadliest of all sins; and in fact, all sinfulness in the poem is represented as self-consuming—because sin eats away at one's own heart and spirit, or selfishly consumes the lives of others. It is the inordinate hunger for power, wealth, and resources, for example, that produces war, genocide, and ecological devastation: in these cases, "eating" or predation, is meant for domination—one group of people consumes the resources and lives of other people and creatures, but not for the purpose of relating with them, and certainly not for intimate connection. So, in a very important sense, I understand religion as that which teaches us how to understand hunger, as well as how to control and satisfy our appetites on all levels of being.
These are some of the reflections I want to pray with this Lenten season, during this forty-day fast in preparation for Jesus' rising from the grave. For the next month, Catholics are asked to cull their appetites, pare them down, and abstain from animal flesh. We are literally called to think about food and our relationship to it, for fasting is meant to make us more conscious of how and why we eat, and what we hunger for. During Lent, we are to mindfully consider how our acts of consumption bring us either nearer to or farther from Christ.
Thus, I understand this season as an opportunity to bring into order my disorderly appetites, emotionally, spiritually, and physically, by adhering to a more conscientious diet. I am asked to confront my hunger, and consider the origins of my cravings. I am called to discern the difference between holy and unholy hunger, because disorderly hunger complicates and obstructs my relationship with God. (So much depends upon how and what we eat!). Which raises, too, of course, the way I consume all objects and to what purpose. Living in a "consumer society," it is crucial to have periods of fasting—of stepping back and away from this kind of relationship with my world and the people who inhabit it. It is crucial to get at the root of why I consume—mindlessly eating–physically, mentally, and spiritually… Lent is meant to give us all a time of pause to question the cause of our hunger, and to consider its insatiability. Not only is Lent meant to remind us, ultimately, that God alone can fill our need, it is also an opportunity to remember how to eat or consume consciously.
Because to live is to eat—the act of ingestion and even the process of "digestion" (literally and metaphorically) can bring us into deep intimacy with both the Creator, and with our Selves. When we ingest food, we turn Creation into our flesh. There is no greater intimacy possible than this, is there? Isn't this why Christ has asked us to "eat" Him? Christ has called us to mindfully ingest the bread that has been transubstantiated into his own flesh, and in turn, we incorporate him—literally turning him into our own
corpus, or body. I cannot believe that the spiritual lesson is meant to stop here. What I take away from the experience of Christ in the Eucharist is also the lesson of how to eat period. To me, the Eucharist is a constant reminder of my relationship with what I eat, and the spiritual and physical possibilities available when I eat well, or with awareness and intention. The Eucharist invites me to consider the way I consume. It is a weekly reminder that only one way of consumption is meant to be truly satisfying…the mindful ingestion of God as my daily bread, and, that my daily bread is also full of God. I try never to forget that it is prayer and intention that transubstantiates food into Christ's body… Prayer is both the awareness of God in creation, as well as the supplication for God's presence to be increased; or, maybe prayer is really how we strive to perceive more fully God's constant and complete presence in creation. Either way, if we were to bring a similar level of mindfulness to all our acts of consumption, wouldn't we consume in a radically different way? Wouldn't the earth be a vastly different place—if we mindfully acknowledged and prayed for the increased presence of God in what we consumed?
This will be the first year I take such questions and reflections with me through the Lenten season; normally, I get caught up and bogged down by the struggle of "giving up"—thinking that by giving up the addicting food or substance or object for forty days will cleanse me, and ready my heart and spirit for the Easter celebration. However, I've never really considered how fasting may be the best tool for teaching me how to know God through consumption, too. In learning how to fast, I also begin to understand how to better eat. I become increasingly aware of the nature of my relationship with those things that I regularly consume—and the possibilities that mindful ingestion brings to me spiritually, emotionally, and physically. So ultimately, I'm finding that Lent isn't about merely "giving up," but rather, about learning how better to relate with and grow in intimacy with my food, with the world, with other people…and thus, with God. I simply hope and pray for the strength to bring this mindfulness I experience during the Lenten season with me into Easter, and then into Ordinary time…

Sir Alex Ferguson says Dimitar Berbatov will be a great signing
Dimitar Berbatov will leave Manchester United during the summer with a ringing tribute from Sir Alex Ferguson. The 31-year-old Bulgaria striker, signed from Tottenham for ?30million on transfer deadline day nearly four years ago, is unhappy because he cannot be guaranteed a first-team place at Old Trafford. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and his former club, Bayer Leverkusen, are ready to fight for his signature, and Sir Alex said: 'Berba is a top, top player who has years left at the highest level.'

Harlot, San Francisco
San Francisco , California
Tel: 415 777 1077
Concierge.com's insider take:
Named for the Barbary Coast–era prostitutes who dominated SoMa back in the day, Harlot is situated on shadowy Minna Street behind a velvet rope and mysterious facade. Until nightfall, it's a moody happy-hour hangout, then it morphs into an ultralounge. The interior features a black-on-black palette, 24-foot onyx bar, leather banquettes, and cowhide accents. Harlot further entices revelers by spoiling them with rare amenities like valet parking and a well-edited wine list, by sommelier Mark Bright (of restaurant Michael Mina); bottles come with olives, nuts, and local chocolates. There's also a white-on-white upstairs VIP lounge with table service. Wednesdays and Thursdays draw a mostly local crowd, particularly at happy hour; on weekends, the place gets overrun by Bacchanalian suburbanites. Finicky bouncers pick who comes in: To avoid getting stuck outside, dress smartly.—Updated by John Vlahides
Open Wednesdays through Fridays 5 pm to 2 am, Saturdays 9 pm to 2 am.

Mayor Barrett's response to Mayor Bloomberg's challenge will focus on urban agriculture, foreclosures
Milwaukee will try to win "The Mayor's Challenge" — and a $5 million grand prize — by focusing on urban agriculture
By Mary Louise Schumacher
Journal Sentinel
Aug. 14, 2012
Milwaukee will try to win "The Mayor's Challenge" — and a $5 million grand prize — by focusing on urban agriculture and foreclosed properties, Mayor Tom Barrett said Tuesday.
Along with nearly 400 other mayors across the country, Barrett is taking up New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg on "The Mayor's Challenge," a competition to come up with innovative solutions to ubiquitous problems facing American cities. The winning city gets $5 million to implement its big idea, and runners-up get $1 million each.
Barrett is inviting proposals that build on the success and leadership of urban agriculture programs such as Growing Power, Milwaukee Urban Gardens and Sweet Water Organics, while also addressing issues related to poor nutrition, obesity and the need to revitalize neighborhoods with foreclosed properties.

Long Beach Agriculture Movement Grows With Edible Gardens And Urban Farming
Larry Rich, sustainability coordinator with the City of Long Beach, explores the edible garden in the civic center just outside city hall. The vertical planter next to Rich is a recent addition to the garden and is part of the concept that residents can grow their own food using less space with vertical garden systems.

"People want to know where their food is coming from and know that it's not traveling far."
By Tiffany Rider
Long Beach Business Journal
August 14, 2012
At a time when exceptional drought in the United States, coupled with rising food prices, is cause for concern, Long Beach residents are taking matters into their own hands.
According to the USDA, food prices are expected to increase 2.5 to 3 percent overall in 2012. The forecast for food costs in 2013 is an increase of 3 to 4 percent. To this end, people across the nation have moved to growing their own vegetables, fruits and herbs to supplement their grocery needs.
Several businesses and local organizations across the city support the growing local agriculture movement in Long Beach, including GreenCoast Hydroponics.

The Turkish long-necked lute or bağlama
Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:23
This book about the Turkish long-necked lute, also known as the saz or bağlama, is the first book about the instrument to be published in the Netherlands. The bağlama has a prominent position in Turkish music culture. It serves as the core in all folk music ensembles and orchestras and is a popular instrument in arabesk, entertainment and pop music. It is the pre-eminent instrument of Turkish music education and the religious rituals of Turkish Alevis. Nowadays the bağlama is appearing more frequently as a solo instrument on international stages.The instrument, belonging to the tanbur family, has a long history in Turkey. The original two-stringed tanbur was already mentioned in pre-Islamic Persian sources. The tanbur travelled along the Silk Road and inspired a large family of three-or more- stringed variations. Some of these instruments had strings arranged in courses, and this variety included the Turkish saz and bağlama. The book opens with the fascinating origins and development of the lute from antiquity to the present, with the aid of a geographical map. We are introduced to many styles of the instrument including innovative modern bağlamas. Subsequently the focus is on the production process, drawing on field research and interviews with instrument makers, including the renowned Kemal Eroğlu from Istanbul. The different stages of construction are described as are the shapes and adornments. Another chapter is devoted to the technique of playing. The Turkish tonal system is explained to the Western reader and this is followed, with the help of a geographical map, with an overview of Turkish folk music as it is played today.
With the exception of Laurence Picken's 'Folk Musical Instruments of Turkey' from 1975, no other book gives such a complete, detailed and accessible description of all things associated with the bağlama. The book is richly illustrated (colour and black and white) and comes with a CD of recordings by Okan Murat Öztürk, demonstrating different playing techniques and instruments from the bağlama family. The book concludes with a discography, bibliography, glossary of musical terms and an index.
Not only for lute players (Dutch and Turkish), the book will be interesting to all lovers of world music.
*This book was published with the financial support of the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.
Illustrated, bound (with CD), 17 x 23 cm, 160 pages, isbn 978 909024004 6 | nur 660, price € 19,50.
Available through quality bookshops. You can also order the book from www.baglamaboek.nl, however this will involve some postage costs.

Summer is half over. Are you starting to hear your kids say things like, "I'll be fine at home, I don't need to go to camp?" When my son was 11 years old, he wanted to spend the summer home and not at day camp. My husband and I both work, and we weren't comfortable with the idea. We sent him to camp that summer and the summer after that too, but his request did give us food for thought. We began to consider the right age to …Click here to continue reading

This weekend's warm weather reminded me that it's time for a very important message: Never leave your children alone in the car.
I know why it happens. Your child is sleeping, and you don't want to wake him or her. You'll only be in the store a minute. But let's be realistic. What you think will be a minute usually turns into 10 or 15 minutes. Did you know the temperature in a car can rise nearly 20 degrees in the first 10 minutes? According to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Board (NHTSB), even when the temperature only is 60 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can get up to 110 degrees.
Follow these tips to help keep your family safe in warm summer weather: …Click here to continue reading
I hear a lot of heartbreaking stories about child abuse. You might think this would make my job difficult, and sometimes it does. But people often share their stories because they're proud of the lives they lead now and who they've become. They believe strongly in the important work Children's Hospital of Wisconsin does through child abuse prevention and intervention programs.
One such couple, Marge and Chip, wanted me to share their stories with you. …Click here to continue reading

For me, those dips are mostly related to the death of my beloved pets or the first time a boy broke my heart. But for some people, those dips are significant and …Click here to continue reading

The recent situation at Penn State reinforces what we already know. Statistics show that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday. Less than 10 percent of these children will ever tell anyone what happened to them.

Babies cry. That's a fact of life. It's how we handle the crying that can make a difference for a baby. It could have made a difference for Mason.
- When a caregiver feels frustrated with a baby or a child, take a break. Put the baby in a safe place like a crib or bassinet. Close the door to the room and call a friend.
- Talk with your babysitter about how they should handle crying babies or irritating child behaviors. Give him or her permission to call you when they feel frustrated.

Even though I had a good support system – husband, mother, friends, colleagues who are nurses, our pediatrician – I still felt overwhelmed and a little helpless. What am I supposed to do with a new baby? How do I know what he wants or …Click here to continue reading
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and a time when we are helping people understand how they can prevent child abuse from occurring in the first place. But we know well that child abuse can happen at any time, to any child.
The problem of child abuse in Wisconsin is staggering. In any given year, more than 40,000 children are reported to authorities as being abused or neglected. And nearly 20 percent of those reports actually are proven. These children could fill every seat at Miller Park or populate a city the size of New Berlin or Brookfield. Most often, the abusers are people the children know, love and trust – family members, siblings, unrelated people living in the home, neighbors. And the list goes on.

He served three terms in the New Mexico House of Representatives, where he was a member of the Business and Industry Committee, the Transportation Committee, the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Committee and the Higher Education Committee. Ben has also served as Lincoln County Commissioner, and as a member of the Airport Board, the Lincoln County Planning and Zoning Commission, the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Joint Use Board, and other organizations devoted to the betterment of New Mexico.
In 2010, Ben was elected by his fellow New Mexicans to a four-year term as the District 5 Commissioner for the Public Regulation Commission. Ben's platform was simple but effective – he believes that every citizen has the right to expect that their interests will be protected by their elected officials and that every elected official, from the Governor on down, has the obligation to give his or her individual attention to all matters that come before them.
Ben Hall intends to use his experience in business and as an elected official to help bring about badly needed changes at the PRC. He has invited his fellow commissioners to join him in carrying out his mandate to review and simplify PRC rules and regulations and to reorganize the agency to the extent necessary to efficiently and effectively serve the people of New Mexico. Most importantly, Ben's door is always open.

Manchester - Consider Bardwell Farm
Country of Origin: United States
Region: Vermont
City / Village: West Pawlet
Type of Milk: Goat
Flavor Profile: Medium
Consider Bardwell Farm is located in West Pawlet, Vermont. Cheesemaker Peter Dixon (a cornerstone of the Vermont cheese making world) uses milk from the farm's herd of 100 Oberhasli goats - a rare breed known for their high quality milk.
Manchester is an aged goat's milk tomme that offers full flavors of fruits and nuts. The flavor profile is at once earthy (from the perfectly-developed rind) and bright (from the clean milk of happy goats). The texture is crumbly but firm. It has a sharpness that makes it an excellent candidate for pairings with fruit such as pear or apples.
This is a seasonal cheese made in limited quantity. This cheese is generally available June - February.

Thank you for being so kind to take time off to shoot our pre-wedding photos and for being so accommodating! We can be such a pain. Nonetheless, we had great fun! The sneaks turned out so well! We were very impressed! We had no doubts that the actual wedding shots were going to be even better! All I can say is that there were not one bit of disappointment!
Everyone was sooo looking forward to seeing the pictures especially my family and my 'Chi Muis'! Even my colleagues were pestering me for the pics! They were all so natural. All the funny moments were captured especially. The photos still makes us laugh whenever we look at it again. Trust me, we have been browsing through every night ever since we received the photos. We apologize if there were too many unexpected distractions on that day! The whole day was just crazy! Hope you had fun!

spinach and chickpeas
First off, this dish is not called "spinach and chickpeas", it is espinacas con garbanzos. Don't you agree? "Spinach and chickpeas" is something you eat because you should — it is healthy and you aspire to be. Espinacas con garbanzos is something you eat because it sounds sexy, and doesn't taste half bad either. It's hearty and smoky with a little kick, you eat it on little fried bread toasts at a tapas bar in Spain.
Or, you know, in New York City on another brutally rainy March night. My friend Ang had a tapas pot-luck last Friday (the baby ditched us for a better party at his grandparents house) and, yes, I brought a Spanish dish to a Spanish party that did not include a single format of pork. Wild! Hey, I figured others would have the chorizos and jamón serranos covered. Me, I wanted some Spanish comfort food. I'd tried a version of this dish a few years ago, thanks to the sweet nudging of Ximena at Lobstersquad and instantly loved it. It sounds like it would be too simple to hold your interest, perhaps something you'd eat because you "ought" to, but it tastes like something you'll crave again and again.
