Best Leather Handbag Styles
Leather handbags are always in fashion. Whether you carry a large tote or a smaller hobo-style leather purse, your handbag is sure to be a durable, timeless addition to your outfit. Go casual or dressy, and there will be a leather bag that coordinates. Available in smooth dyed cowhide or a variety of animal prints and textures, the top leather handbag styles include the hobo, satchel, tote, shoulder bag and clutch. Hobo. One of the most common bags, the hobo handbag is a great day-to-day option. The top layer of many leather hobo handbags> is made from top-grain leather, since it can be dyed in any color imaginable. The hobo handbag comes in many different sizes, but it is never considered bulky or oversized. A leather hobo handbag can easily accommodate a wallet, cell phone and other personal items with room to spare. Satchel. Top-grain and full-grain leather are commonly used to make satchel handbags. Made for women on the go, the durable leather satchel handbag offers a chest-crossing strap. Satchel handbags leave your hands free to open doors, maneuver strollers or carry shopping bags. Look for a leather satchel handbag with compartments and pockets for convenience. Tote. This oversized handbag option is popular with women who need to carry heavier loads to work or around town. The leather tote has a large capacity that allows you to carry paperwork, a laptop or lunch. Also used by modern mothers, a large leather tote can easily double as a purse-diaper bag combo. A tote's long straps make it easy to throw the bag over your shoulder and go. Shoulder bag. The most versatile handbag is the leather shoulder bag. This handbag commonly has two straps for carrying ease. A short option allows the bag to rest on the shoulder and fit snugly under the armpit. The longer strap allows the bag to rest against the hip when you drape it over your shoulder. Leather shoulder bags can be found in soft suede or top-grain leather. Clutch. The small, hand-held leather clutch may also be referred to as a coin purse. Just large enough to hold your daily essentials -- a little cash, identification, a credit card or two, cell phone and a tube of lipstick -- the clutch is perfect for short trips to the store or a special evening out. Often made of soft suede, a leather clutch is fashionable with strapless gowns and other evening wear. View All Leather Bags Back to Guides Directory View All Leather Bags

I seem to recall someone on here saying they cut out the top of their keg with a Dremel. I tried to take the top off the other day with a cutting blade on my angle-grinder and gave up after fifteen minutes of not getting through it.
What exactly did you use and how long did it take?
I'm considering going out and buying one as I need it for other things too and there doesn't seem to be anyone around with a plasma cutter who will take it off for less than the cost of a dremel.
Heb no oana Hoibe hoch, du Hund!
Drinking: Fight Night Pale Ale
Fermenting: 100 pints o' Stout
IMO: A dremel is no good for a keg. Not enough power and you'd use 100's of discs.
Buy a cheap grinder it's worth it.
Angle grinders are like $30. Buy one, you'll use it more than you think and it's an uber-cool tool to have.
Take your time with it. Get a couple cutting disks, the thin ones, you'll probably only need one, but get a backup, they're cheap enough. Again - take your time, probably four passes. Draw out the circle you're cutting out - the bottom of an Ale Pail was the perfect size for me.
Or, send it off to BierMuncher - he'll hook you up
Get a pack of the really thin 4.5" metal cutting disks for your grinder. Should take two easy passes, 10 mins tops. Use a grinding wheel/flapper disk and sand paper to clean it up.
Edit, dang an early bird got the worm.
I second the grinding disk.
You take more meat out but it's easier and because you make multiple grinding cuts then you get a better cut.
Rest the back of the grinder against the rim of the keggle and use it as a guide.
Every time I go to Home Depot, I see the Return rack full of Ryobi angle grinders for half the cost of a new one. Look there first.
I gotta say, I've tried both the grinding disks and the thin cutting disks. I think the thin ones were much easier and I ended up with an almost perfect cut. I can't imagine how cutting more metal with a grinding disk could be easier.
i used a dermel to cut my keg open. it gets the job done but you need about 15-20 disks and it doesnt cut very fast. it leaves a nice round edge though so i guess thats a +

U of M Announces First 'Fast Charger' For Electric Vehicles On Campus
Posted: 01/28/15
Electric vehicle owners now have access to the latest, fast-charging technology on the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus.
Two weeks ago, a new station was installed at the corner of Washington Avenue and Harvard Street, making it one of the first of its kind operating in the state of Minnesota. This station typically re-charges a vehicle's battery to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes.
"The U is committed to incorporating sustainability into its teaching, research and outreach and the operations that support them," said Ross Allanson, director of Parking and Transportation Services. "We are glad to offer the latest technology in an easily accessible way for those electric vehicle drivers on campus."
In all, the Minneapolis campus boasts 13 charging stations for electric vehicles – 12 currently inside various public-parking facilities on campus. These stations take an average of four hours to fully charge a vehicle.
Use of all 13 charging stations are free, but the posted parking fee must be paid.
To see where all public electric vehicle charging stations are in the metro area, including the U's new charger, visit plugshare.com.

Display Cases in the Great HallInsult Paintings by William Hempel
February 14th, 2015 - March 21st, 2015
When William Hempel returned to New York after seven years living abroad, he was struck by the casual and constant use of insults. This series of paintings emerged from his experience of language, and its permutations, as the artist experienced harsh words in common parlance, called out loud on streets among friends and strangers every day in public and private in the City.
Each small painting has the same dimensions. The panel depths vary, implying the hurt of the words, how deeply they penetrate as they are uttered. Contained on the handcrafted wooden panel is a single word, appearing in the top register of a two-color field, lovingly painted with stencil. The act of stenciling the words on carefully prepared panels, in rich colors of diverse media, is an echo of mechanical repetition of these words in daily speech, where it is all too easy to repeat such insults. Yet Hempel makes them into icons, with care, restoring and reframing meaning. The contrast between harsh intent, and sensitive or careful transmission of words onto prepared ground, reiterates the loving transfer of what is spoken and experienced into a written word, created in rich clear tones and old master materials.
Case One:
FOOL, shellac, gesso, poppy oil, matte damar varnish, 2" deep
IDIOT, oil primer, cold wax, 2" deep
JERK, oil primer, stand oil, 2.5" deep
Case Two:
SHITHEAD, glue, gesso, safflower oil, retouch varnish, 1" deep
ASSHOLE, glue, oil emulsion gesso, walnut oil, gloss damar varnish 1.5" deep
SCUMBAG, glue, gesso, casein, casein varnish, 1.5" deep

LUCIFER'S KISS: Photograms by TR ERICSSON
Lucifer was the Latin name given to the brightest star in the ancient Roman sky, the light we now identify with the planet Venus. The first light in the night sky, it is often seen low on the horizon just after sunset. Ericsson plays with the subsequent interpretation of Lucifer as the favored angel who falls from grace, becoming identified with forces of darkness. In these photograms, Lucifer brings light to the paper, revealing a woman's form, fashioning her contours against glossy black.
Playing with light and dark, edges and shadows, Ericsson manipulates both muse and medium to create a sensuous and luminous image. Read more >

EPHEMERAL PIGMENTS: Polaroids by Beatrice Pediconi
Beatrice Pediconi's Ephemeral Pigments is a series of polaroids of paintings on water, documenting her spirit moving over the liquid tableau. Using a different medium each time, sometimes paint, sometimes egg, sometimes pigment and oils, she circulates images into a basin of water, dropping viscous liquids into a receptive tray filled with water, coloring the movement and ripples on the surface, with these intense and delicious substances. At times they are suspended like a meniscus on the surface, at times they form shapes, and then dissolve, trailing tails behind.
The movement of the artist's hand over the water, her gesture, is recorded in the three poetic series of polaroids. Read more >

NORWAY: Small works on Paper
Michael Kirk's intimate pastels and watercolors were made on trips he took to Norway. Tender reflections of majestic landscapes, made on site as he traveled through Norway's fjords and mountains, many of the small works later inspired larger paintings and drawings when he returned to his studio. They convey his immediate responses to Norwegian landscape. His own words describe his impressions:
1991. Lofoten, an archipelago within the Artic Circle, mountainous islands reach out into the Norwegian Sea. In late May the "midnight sun" floats along the horizon. Dusk becomes dawn; one day runs into the next. I was working with pastels using my fingers to grind pigment into pigment. This physical act extends my being directly into the paper. The work is not driven by conscious thought, rather by a series of sensations and the rhythm of my hands responding to the moment. Read more >
June 20th to August 8th, 2014
As a photographer and a filmmaker, Dean Dempsey plays with questions of identity by masking his figures, removing them from our gaze with layers and adornment, or by placing them into carefully arranged tableaus that reveal a multiplicity of meanings.
In his film Dreamsequence, women are posed in diferent rooms that suggest a dramatic stage set. One kneels on the floor in an empty room filling with balloons that drop randomly from the ceiling, and later sits in a chair, lifting her face to a shower of golden glitter raining down upon her skin. The other perches on a chair in a bay window, naked except for the paint on her face, and the tulle enveloping her lower limbs. She moves without speaking, holding a bird in a cage. In the close ups of their faces shown here, they appear as though they are remembered from a dream. Read more >

HUNTED: Gouache Drawings by Eliana Pérez
Domestic intranquilities form the subjects of this series of gouache drawings by Colombian artist Eliana Pérez, executed as a continuous numbered series with point of brush on deckled edge paper. Animals inhabit an interior and domestic landscape, coming to life and interacting with their environment. A group of branches in a vase waves cautiously as if bent by wind toward an unseen place, breaking into pieces and wispy fragments for no apparent reason. A slipcover begins to growl as if ready for attack. A hidden dragon slithers to life in the folds of a drapery, leaving fire in its wake. An archer shoots at a trophy stag from the comfort of his decorative pose on an ovoid telephone table. A flock of birds twitter against the back of a sofa. A living room is submerged in standing water, colorless, and linear. A blue mattress, its coils exposed, floats away on an ocean of coiled lines. The images form a personal narrative of disquiet.

WOLF: Constructions in Wood and Mirror by Jongil Ma
Jongil Ma is intrigued by the delicate social relationships between friends and inside social groups. As an immigrant to the United States from Korea in 1996, his continued fascination with these interactions has led him to create an art practice that embraces sculpture and installation to create interactive spaces. Working in both large-scale monumental sculpture and intimate conceptual pieces, he brings sensitivity and power to his work. Because he wants to break through the confining divisions between audience and artist, he asks a wide range of participants to bring their own concerns to transform his pieces. Read more >

Wishes: Horses
Horses are powerful, atavistic creatures, symbols of freedom, speed, and sensitive response. This exhibition of horse drawings spans two important dates connected to the imagery of Irish painter Timothy Hawkesworth: 1 February 2014 marks the beginning of the Year of the Horse, the seventh sign of the Chinese zodiac and an auspicious year recognizing the power and primal nature of the horse. The end date of the exhibition, 17 March marks Saint Patrick's Day, named for the patron saint of Ireland, where Timothy Hawkesworth grew up on a farm and began his relationship with horses.
Hawkesworth's horses are energetic and rapidly drawn with graphite over wax and paint on paper, moving from right to left, galloping, rearing, and walking with heads bowed, raised or thrown back in restless movement. Evoking the animal nature with figurative representations, like Susan Rothenberg's horses from the 1970s, Hawkesworth infuses a personal vision in these drawings, and taps into a source of infinite fascination: domesticated animals that retain a wild and untamed spirit.

Alabaster and Albacore
Christopher Smith's Alabaster and Albacore is a series of lush and velvety photographic prints, showing proposed video installations in the interiors of recognizable landmarks and public spaces, including the James B. Duke House. In this body of work Smith engages themes of transience and permanence, movement and color, nature and displacement.
Taking elements of color and bubbles from his ongoing "Painter Project," Smith transforms them, draping them over the railings of staircases, suspending them from the skylights and floating them across the floor toward the viewer. Using techniques attuned classic films like as director Carol Reed's "Odd Man Out (1947, Two Cities film), Jean-Luc Godard's "Two or Three Things I Know About Her," (1967, Argos Films), or Martin Scorsese's 1976 classic, "Taxi Driver," Smith hones in on the bubbles floating in front of the camera as visual metaphors for the transience of life, the fragility of the moment.

Flowers of the Sky
Flowers of the Sky is a series of life-size botanical paintings on the folios of an 18th century astronomy text, dismantled and then reassembled into an accordion-fold artist book. The transformation of the text of James Ferguson's Astronomy Explained upon Sir Isaac Newton's Principles (1799) began in response to a Victorian astronomy book entitled Flowers of the Sky in the archive of the John Work Garrett Library at Johns Hopkins University.
As the artist describes, the fluid yet tenuous painting on the book pages is analogous to a fragile web or distant constellation. For Smith, flowers are symbols of our selves and of nature, as well as a metaphor for the machinations of the universe. Implicitly, book folios serve as multivalent supports for the painted leaves and flowers that adorn them with color and design imposed over printed words. Read more >

It seems that atomic types (int, string, ...) are passed by value, and all others (objects, pointers to functions, pointers to methods, ...) are passed by reference.
What is the best way to check if a variable will be passed by value or by reference?
isinstance(input_, float) or isinstance(input_, basestring) or <...>
seems to be very inelegant.
The reason why I need it is below: I have a class that wraps wx.Button, if args/kwargs are of types that are passed by value, updating their values in other objects will not be taken into account. So some checks will be beneficial
class PalpyButton(wx.Button):

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
In considering the new home that imported species have made for themselves on the continent, John Leland departs from those environmentalists who universally decry the invasion of outsiders. Instead, Leland finds that uncovering stories of aliens' arrivals and assimilation is a more intriguing-and ultimately more beneficial-endeavor. While he does lament such storied ravagers as the chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease, and gypsy moth, Leland also posits that the majority of nonnative plants and animals, much like their human counterparts, go about the business of existence and reproduction without threat to the world around them.
Mixing natural history with engaging anecdotes, Leland cuts through patriotic and problematic myths coloring our grasp of the natural world and suggests that the stories of how these alien species have reshaped our landscape are as much a part of the continent's heritage as tales of our presidents and politics. Simultaneously, he poses questions about which, if any, of our accepted icons is truly American (not apple pie or Kentucky bluegrass; not Idaho potatoes or Boston ivy). Written with a genuine appreciation for nature's resiliency, Leland's ode to survival reveals how plant and animal immigrants have made the country as much an environmental melting pot as its famed melding of human cultures, and he invites us to reconsider what it means to be American.

Human Rights Campaign Statement on March 27 Events
April 1, 2013 by Fred Sainz, Vice President, Communications & Marketing
In the midst of a tremendously historic week for our community, two unfortunate incidents at the United for Marriage event at the Supreme Court last week have caused pain in the community. In one case, a trans activist was asked to remove the trans pride flag from behind the podium, and in another, a queer undocumented speaker was asked to remove reference to his immigration status in his remarks.
HRC joined in a coalition statement on Friday apologizing for these incidents and the individuals involved have personally offered their apologies to those affected. But to be perfectly clear, HRC regrets the incidents and offers our apologies to those who were hurt by our actions. We failed to live up to the high standard to which we hold ourselves accountable and we will strive to do better in the future. Through both our legislative and programmatic work, HRC remains committed to making transgender equality a reality.

Kitchen Sink Studios Inc. founders Nick Hower and Kory Kapfer always have tried to keep their marketing and branding business ahead of the curve, and their devotion to technology development is helping them do that.
In the past few months, the Phoenix-based business has expanded its use of computer-generated renderings; adopted quick response, or QR, codes to aid in marketing; and developed virtual simulations for legal cases.
"What's important is the diversification and sophistication we take things to," Hower said.
That diversification is drawing some new clients, including Fox Restaurant Concepts; Universal Technical Institute; Macerich, the parent company of mall developer Westcor; and Jokake Construction.
Much of that growth is a result of how the company is using new technologies. It has begun developing websites in HTML 5, a new industry standard that embeds all media, from audio to video, into websites so viewers are not required to download multiple extensions to view different types of content.
HTML 5 is garnering interest because of the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, particularly in the wake of Adobe Inc.'s announcement last year that it no longer would support its Flash media player on mobile devices. The standard is becoming more accepted in Web browsers, as slightly more than half of them can access the new format, according to StatCounter, an online database of browser use.
The company is looking to add to its Web design team to accommodate the increased business, but it hasn't figured out how many people it needs to hire yet.
Tom Evans, a public relations consultant at Kitchen Sink, said many of the company's new clients have signed up because the marketing and branding landscape has changed so much in the past five years.

It was a disappointing end to the tournament for Bester, who was looking for Canada's first-ever gold at the Games in lawn bowling — a sport also commonly referred to as lawn bowls.
"I just wasn't good enough and Darren played well," said Bester. "Too many short bowls. That's what happens but I'm still quite happy with silver in Scotland."
As he should be.
The 29-year-old became the first Canadian to finish second in the event since W.S. MacDonald won silver at the 1934 Commonwealth Games in London.
In a sport where many of the competitors are much older, Bester should have plenty more chances to climb atop the podium.
"At the end silver is brilliant," said the Hanover, Ont., native. "Canada has never won gold in the lawn bowls, so that's my goal."
Bester lives and plays professionally in Australia, and has picked up an accent since moving there following a bronze-medal victory at 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
Asked if he thought a gold medal will ever come his way, he simply replied with: "Eventually."
"(Silver) is not too bad," he added with a smile. "I still have a few years left to try to win it."
Bester led 3-0 after the three ends, but Burnett scored four in the fifth and three more in the sixth to blow the game wide open at 10-3 in front of a partisan crowd at picturesque Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre.
A small pocket of Canadian supporters tried to get behind their man, but Bester couldn't recover as Burnett built an insurmountable lead.
"I dropped a couple short and then he got a four and a three," said Bester. "Once he got off to a big lead I was a bit chasing, which is pretty hard to do."
Bester chipped away to make it 14-9 in the 15th end, but three more from Burnett in the 16th all but sealed it.
The two men shook hands afterwards, with the Scottish crowd hailing the police officer who had to lobby for time off from work to be able to compete at the Games.
"I came in with confidence knowing that I was going to get a medal," said the 38-year-old Burnett. "To get gold is icing on the cake.
"I started most of my games with a dodgy first few ends and I wanted to come in and put Ryan under pressure. I did that and, thankfully, his hitting was slightly off today."
In Friday's bronze-medal match, Australia's Aron Sherriff defeated New Zealand's Shannon McIlroy 21-8.
Bester made his debut at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England, at the age of 17 back in 2002, and became the first Canadian to win a world title when he took home the pairs crown two years later.
Although the sport is popular in many corners of the world, Bester said it would be nice if his performance in Scotland helps get more people in Canada interested.
"Hopefully people just go out and give the sport a try," said Bester, whose home club will be the site of lawn bowling when Gold Coast, Australia, hosts next Commonwealth Games in 2018. "I'm sure they'll fall in love with it.
"It's exactly the same as curling. Everyone loves watching that in Canada. This can be the summer-type of curling."
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said Bester's second-place finish was the best men's singles lawn bowling result by a Canadian at the Games.

Concerned with high rates of adolescent drug abuse, hundreds of U.S. middle and high schools have begun randomly testing students for drugs, and the Bush administration has asked for $17.9 million in 2008 to further fund such programs. Proponents hope tests give children another reason to say no, but health officials and addiction counselors say testing is not reliable and violates trust.

Does your dining/kitchen set really have to match? (pics)
I have for a long time been wanting to get an antique harvest table for my dining room (which is our main kitchen eating area).
Right now I have a 3 piece set which is not really my style but I don't want to replace the whole set. I like the feel of having 3 pieces in there.
Would it be 'all wrong' to just replace my table and keep my buffet and sideboard? Most harvest tables are a darker wood so the coloring would not match.
My gut is thinking maybe it is a no-no but thought I would ask in case I am just being over picky with the matchy-matchy! lol
Types I like
The harvest table you like seem to be very similar to what you have from what I can see. My first thought was to paint also. Have you seen the work of Annie Sloan? She is a decorative painter. She has done beautiful transformations of several pieces. Maybe her site can inspire you.
Here is a link that might be useful: painted furniture
I have thought about painting the pieces although it is a little intimidating to me for some reason.
What would you think if the table I found would lean towards a cherry color with my other too pieces being honey colored?
Allison this is the website I got the last photo from:
Here is a link that might be useful: Table
Your home is lovely, Haley.
No they don't have to match. If you look at the Dining Rooms photo thread in our Gallery, you will see some unmatched sets that will give you a feel for how it would be.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dining Room Eye Candy
Thanks - food for thought.
Its true I guess the tables are a little similiar. Perhaps it is the chairs with the table that I have an issue with....they seem kinda 'country'.
I would if I could just replace those? Maybe that would look wierd...? What style and color would work?
I am actually thinking now paint may do the trick. Maybe paint or restain the top of the table?
Can anyone suggest any chair styles I would get away with if I were to just replace my existing country style chairs because it is true...its not the table I have issues with..its the chairs.
And what about color (another match question on a different aspect) but what about if the chair color and the table color aren't the same. Like a dark cherry or black with a honey wood table?
I agree with you that it is the chairs that look country to me I would change those out instead of the table.
I had an oak table and chairs that was a honey color similar to yours which felt country to me. I sanded down the table and first applied a rosewood stain which I didnt like so I resanded and then applied a walnut stain. It turned out fabulous. I replaced the chairs with parson chairs. With so much wood in your dining room, you might consider chairs upholstered chairs.
I love windsor chairs. I think they would work. Are you ok with no padding? I am thinking of doing the same thing in my DR, replacing the chairs, but mostly because I want more comfortable chairs.
Very pretty room!
I love that big plant/tree. What kind is it?
Love the windsor chair idea.
It is an excellent point about the amount of wood and I do really like parson chairs but with 4 kids unfortunately I need to stick to the wood.
Thanks Boopadaboo - funny about that plant I bought it at my local grocery store 10 years ago for $1.99 and it was about 4 inches tall and just kept growing and growing. Actually now it is touching my ceiling...yikes..
Just a note to say I love the tables you posted, particularly the last one w/ the white hutch. That's what we're looking for to furnish the DR in our new home. We have young children (3 under age 7) and will probably use windsor chairs with ours. We have some lovely windsor chairs in a deeper mahogany type stain (not sure if we'll refinish or leave them as they are) that are family heirlooms. We need to find more if we go that route (only have 4 currently). I love the non matchy matchy and think it is a great look.
I recently "traded" my dining set on CraigsList. I say that because I bought a table, chairs & sideboard for a little more than I sold my table and chairs. You might check out your local CL to see how active the furniture listings are, and to get a feel for how much your table and chairs would sell for. I think you might get a better price by selling a whole set than just the chairs. I also notice one big difference in the tables. The one you have has a scalloped apron, while the harvest type have a straight apron. Personally I prefer the straight lines, but others might not care about the difference.
Jessica - thanks very much! The green in the dining room is called Caraway from Behr - took me a long time to find this green and I love it! Its not too yellow based not too grey... The beige in my kitchen is Latte by Sherwin Williams. My trim is straight ol' "ultra white".
I have a harvest table in oak that is a honey colour. I do have the windsor chairs but they aren't the high back windsor chairs and I think thats what makes the set look too countryish. The price of high back windsor chairs is expensive and can't find any good used ones. Was wondering the same thing if maybe parson chairs would look okay. Don't want to change the whole set as I have a hutch in same colour.

Harkin Joins Colleagues to Introduce Legislative Fix to Protect Women's Health in Aftermath of Supreme Court Decision
Wednesday, July 09, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, joined his Senate Democratic colleagues in introducing the Protect Women's Health from Corporate Interference Act. The bill would restore the contraceptive coverage requirement guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act and protect coverage of other health services from employers who want to impose their beliefs on their employees by denying benefits. Representatives Diana DeGette (D-CO), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), and Louise Slaughter (D-NY) are introducing companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
"Providing consumers with access to preventive care services with no cost-sharing was a top priority for me in crafting the Affordable Care Act. This coverage empowers Americans to make the health care decisions that are best for them and their families. Ninety-nine percent of women—our sisters, daughters, friends, colleagues, and neighbors—will use some form of birth control in their lifetime, and strong majorities of Americans support the notion that women should be able to make their reproductive care decisions without interference from their employer," Harkin said. "The Protect Women's Health from Corporate Interference Act reinstates the ACA's contraceptive coverage and protects the right of all Americans, men and women alike, to make decisions about their medical care in consultation with their doctor, not their boss. This bill will ensure that every day working people in Iowa and around the country, and their families, continue to have access to critical health care services."
"With this bill, Congress can begin to fix the damage done by the Supreme Court's decision to allow for-profit corporations to deny their employees birth control coverage. The Supreme Court last week opened the door to a wide range of discrimination and denial of services. This bill would help close the door for denying contraception before more corporations can walk through it," said Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Action Fund. "As the nation's leading advocate for women's reproductive health care, Planned Parenthood Action Fund is committed to making sure women can get the no-copay birth control benefit that we and others fought so hard to pass and protect. No woman should lose access to birth control because her boss doesn't approve of it."
"Last week, we heard a collective gasp across the country as Americans everywhere tried to make sense of five male Justices on the Supreme Court deciding that our bosses could have control over our birth control in the Hobby Lobby decision," said Ilyse Hogue, President, NARAL Pro-Choice America. "Today, we hear those gasps turn to cheers as we see champions in Congress move to right this wrong. Ninety-nine percent of American women use some form of birth control in our lifetimes, and all medical experts agree that these remedies should be included in comprehensive healthcare. Anything less than this amounts to discrimination against women in the workplace. If there's one thing we can agree upon more than the idea that politicians aren't equipped to decide for us how and when and with whom we have families, it's that our bosses are even less so. This bill is the first step in making sure those personal healthcare decision stay where they belong—in the hands of the women whose lives are affected."
"This critical legislation will protect women's health care services guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act and safeguard their rights," said Marcia D. Greenberger, Co-President, National Women's Law Center. "Women have worked for and earned the right to have their health needs covered—just as men do. This legislation makes it unmistakably clear that businesses, in the name of religion, can neither discriminate against their female employees nor impose their religious beliefs on them. Bosses should stick to what they know best—the board room and the bottom line—and stay out of the bedroom and exam room."
Harkin joined bill authors Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Mark Udall (D-CO) in introducing the bill. Additional original cosponsors includeSenators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Mark Begich (D-AK), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Al Franken (D-MN), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Timothy Kaine (D-VA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Carl Levin (D-MI), Ed Markey (D-MA), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Tom Udall (D-NM), John Walsh (D-MT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Ron Wyden (D-OR).
In January, Harkin joined eighteen other Senate Democrats in filing an amicus brief in support of the government's position in the cases of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Sebelius. The brief provided an account of the legislative history and intent underlying the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The senators urged the Supreme Court to reverse the Tenth Circuit's expansion of RFRA's scope and purpose as applied to secular, for-profit corporations and their shareholders seeking to evade the contraceptive coverage requirement under the ACA.

My Grandma taught me to make this when I was a little kid, using the cucumbers and dill she grew in her own garden. Now when I make this, I use reduced fat sour cream in this salad. One of my favorite summer salads.
Very good. I will make again.
Cucumber salad as I remember it! It wasn't until I sampled this after putting it together and refrigerating it that I realized this tasted just like Mom use to make…and Grandma before her. Can't go wrong with this classic cucumber salad.
