HAVE: Red Crown of Thorns for Pink Easter Cactus
love_the_yard(z9A Jax FL)May 20, 2014
I have two red crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii) cuttings that I would like to trade for a pink Easter cactus (Rhipsalidopsis or Hatiora gaertneri) cutting.
These were just cut today (May 5, 2014) and are in a shady spot to harden off. After 4-5 days, I will pot them up to start rooting. So they may be rooted by the time someone responds.
Before cutting:

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Gunmen from the Somali extremist group al-Shabab, who had taken up positions in a hotel frequented by government officials and dignitaries killing at least nine people, were exchanging fire with government troops more than 12 hours later, officials said Saturday
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — All but counted out a little over a month ago, coach Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans are still playing.
Saudi-led coalition warplanes bombed rebel camps in Yemen for a second day, as President Barack Obama said the United States shared a "collective goal" with its regional ally to see stability in the war-torn state. Obama offered support to Saudi ruler King Salman in a phone conversation as it emerged the US military had rescued two Saudi pilots forced to eject from their fighter jet in the region on Thursday. A months-long rebellion by Shiite fighters in Yemen has escalated into a regional conflict that threatens to tear apart the impoverished state at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia has vowed to do "whatever it takes" to prevent the fall of embattled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, accusing Shiite Iran of "aggression" and of backing the Huthi rebels' power grab.

Another week, another round of rumors about the development of the next generation C7 Corvette. GM Inside News is saying that the C7 will be an evolution (not revolution) of design from the C6, and that we are to expect a more European-looking design. Not breaking news so far, they did say they were able to confirm that the split rear window will not be on the next-gen Corvette.
Rumors & Innuendo
An article about the C6 Corvette and the coming C7 redesign hit Bloomberg's news wire over the weekend and there were some interesting quotes from GM insiders both named and unnamed. Former VP of Product Development Bob Lutz, who helped usher the Corvette ZR1 from pipe dream to Nurburgring terror is back in company's fold as a consultant and we get to hear his thoughts on the coming next-generation Corvette.
With the C7 Corvette under development, we've taken a sudden interest in the pipeline of future products coming from General Motors. So after we watched the demo video of the new Cadillac CUE infotainment center and the futuristic customizable gauge cluster, we're holding out hope that the next generation C7 Corvette will benefit from similar technology.
Autoweek has published a batch of photos of what appears to be a C7 Corvette mule captured out in the wild by spy photographer Brian Williams of Brenda Priddy & Co. What is noticeable right away on the Cyber Grey Corvette Grand Sport appears to be a lengthened wheel base.
It seems like every time we turn around, some other site has an "inside source" that is spilling the beans on the next-generation Corvette. We've heard rumors and speculation that the 2014 Corvette will be powered by a turbo, or that it will be mid-engined, or it will have all-wheel drive. Whatever the case, it appears that everyone is talking within the C7 program as yet another "inside source" has come forward to leak new details on the development of the C7.
While the C7 Corvette may still be a couple years out, rumors and speculation are already running rampant as to what it will look like and how it will be powered. Popular Mechanics magazine sent one of their writers out to the streets of Detroit during July's Dream Cruise to search for clues regarding the next generation Corvette and he came back with some interesting tidbits of info.
LeftLaneNews.com has five images from spy photographer Brian Williams (Brenda Priddy & Co) that appear to show the next generation Corvette will indeed retain its front engine/rear wheel drive layout. The engineering mule is disguised as a Cyber Gray Grand Sport Coupe, but you can see how the proportions of the body are slightly larger than the mule's wheelbase which gives the impression of the wheels being "tucked in".
As the Bowling Green Assembly Plant ramps up production of the 2012 Corvette, two of its most popular colors are noticibly absent from the order system. Cyber Gray and Crystal Red Metallic have been in the top four color choices for Corvette buyers in both 2010 and midway through 2011. But the Japenese earthquake damaged the plant that provided a key paint pigment and both colors have been sidelined ever since.
When GM's North American President Mark Reuss visitied Bowling Green in May to announce the $131 million in upgrades to the Corvette Assembly Plant, he said in his speech that the C7 Corvette with be "completely different". That statement has set off a number of speculative reports about the C7, from Autocar still talking about a mid-engine design while the Detroit Bureau breathlessly opined about GM developing a 3.0-litre turbocharged V8. Motor Trend has offered their take on the C7 in the August 2011 issue as well as debunking some of the irrational speculation surrounding the next generation Corvette.
Photo Credit: TurboTechnologyInc.com
According to a story by TheDetroitBureau.com, one of the engines that General Motors is planning on offering in the C7 Corvette is a European-style turbo V8 that will be slightly larger than 3 liters in displacement. This would mark a turning point for the company which has traditionally offered high-displacement V8s in the sports car. The turbocharged engine is expected to woo the hearts, minds and wallets of European performance car buyers who are usually drawn to the likes of Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Legendary Force starting to peak at the right time
Too old? Washed up? Fourteen-time Funny Car champ John Force is anything but. Two wins in four weeks -- including Sunday's victory at Sonoma -- have re-energized the unflappable Force, writes Bill Stephens.
The NHRA's new playoff system is an elimination process. That's the biggest difference between the Countdown to the Championship and NASCAR's Chase for the Nextel Cup.
It starts with the NHRA's biggest event -- the U.S. Nationals on Labor Day weekend at Indianapolis. In the 18th of 23 annual events, the top eight racers in each pro category will begin competing for the championship.
It means the 17th event, the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Reading, Pa., on Aug. 16-19, is the last chance to make it to the playoffs.
Starting at Indy, the standings are reset, with points awarded in 10-point intervals from the first- to last-place finishers for the eight contenders in each class: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Indy begins the Countdown to Four over the next four events. The drivers who rank in the top four in each class after the Richmond race on Oct. 7 will compete for the title in the last two events: Las Vegas and Pomona, Calif.
Points are reset again at Las Vegas with a 10-point margin between the four competitors in each category.
"The one thing most of the drivers wanted was to keep the top eight in it until the end,'' said six-time NHRA champion Kenny Bernstein. "No one was complaining about going to the top-eight playoff. But a lot of teams and crew chiefs don't like cutting it down to four in the last two races.
"It's a brutal way to end it, but this always has been a brutal sport. You line up at 23 events and can lose in the first round each time."
-- Terry Blount

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Olympic dream alive for Stoughton
Wins Canada Cup of Curling
Jeff Stoughton just doubled the chances of a Manitoba-based curling team doing something never done before — representing Canada at the Winter Olympics.
With a 4-3 win over Ontario's Glenn Howard in the men's final of the Canada Cup of Curling in Moose Jaw on Sunday, Stoughton joined Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones as the two Manitoba teams already qualified for next December's Canadian Curling Trials at the MTS Centre.
With eight men's teams and eight women's teams competing in Winnipeg next winter for the right to represent Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, a trials berth is for some teams an even bigger prize this winter than a Canadian curling championship.
"Whew, that's a relief," Stoughton said Sunday evening. "Of course we want to go back to the Brier, but (the rest of this season) will be a lot less stressful because we don't have to worry about this trials spot anymore."
The addition of a popular Winnipeg-based team like Stoughton — with third Jon Mead, second Reid Carruthers and lead Mark Nichols — to the roll of teams now qualified for the trials comes at a perfect time for event organizers, who later this week are holding a news conference to unveil further details on ticket packages and a Christmas sales promotion.
And adding a two-time world champion like Stoughton to the roster of teams that will compete at the MTS Centre also substantially increases Manitoba's chances of finally breaking the Olympic curling goose egg.
For all this province's glorious and record-breaking curling history, all eight of the teams that have represented Canada in curling since it became an official Olympic sport in 1998 have come from somewhere else.
Alberta has sent four teams — Kevin Martin twice, as well as Cheryl Bernard and Shannon Kleibrink. Ontario's Mike Harris, Saskatchewan's Sandra Schmirler, BC's Kelley Law and Newfoundland's Brad Gushue round out Canada's Olympic curling contingent over the years.
Stoughton came as close as you can get to qualifying when he lost the trials final in 2005 to Gushue on an agonizing last rock measure and Mead, who was on that team and blamed himself for blowing a line call in the final end, was asked if he and his skip will head to the MTS Centre next December with a sense of unfinished business.
"I don't look at it that way. I look at it more as an opportunity," replied Mead. "This is a different team, a different day. Winning it wouldn't make up for the last one. It's different — it would be about winning it with these guys.
"And I feel like we have a legitimate chance."
Ironically, one of the members of the current Stoughton team was also playing in that 2005 final, only Nichols was playing third for Brad Gushue at the time.
Nichols moved across the country this year to replace longtime Stoughton lead Steve Gould. Gould's sacking last spring was a controversial move at the time but the addition of Nichols to the foursome came up cherries on Sunday, particularly in the 10th end when he made two perfect 'ticks' — a shot Gould practically invented — to keep things open for a game-winning shot.
"On that stage, with so much at stake, it was really cool to make that shot when it counts," said Nichols. "(The trials berth) is the reason we did all this — the reason I up and moved from Newfoundland to curl with these guys. That was the one thing I wanted to do, the goal from the start of the year."
After going 5-1 in the round-robin to finish first overall and advance straight to Sunday's final, Stoughton never trailed Howard on Sunday. After settling for a single with the hammer in the first end, Stoughton made a brilliant shot with his last rock in the second end to bury a stone on the back of the button and set up a steal to take a 2-0 lead.
Howard settled for a single in the third end and then the two teams — both known for aggressive games — found it uncharacteristically difficult to generate much offence the rest of the way, blanking four of the final seven ends.
But the game was not without its drama. With Stoughton leading 3-1, the Winnipeg skip pulled the string on a final rock draw in the seventh end to give Howard an open draw for a game-tying deuce.
After blanks in the eighth and ninth ends, Stoughton needing only an open hit and stick with the final rock of the 10th end to seal the win and take down not only a trials berth, but also a total of $24,000 in prize money and also a chance to play in the 2014 Continental Cup in Las Vegas.
With the win, Stoughton now joins Howard and Alberta's Kevin Martin as the three men's teams already qualified for the trials. Three more trials berths will be awarded at the end of this winter to the top teams on the Canadian Team Ranking System who still require berths.
The final two berths will be determined next November at a pre-trials bonspiel.

You go on and on about how brilliant you think you are yet you are not intelligent enough to grasp that the entire point of the advice you are given is to perpetuate what you enjoyed and allowed you to spend most of your adult life wandering aimlessly: stable families and loving parents. "But that's not for me..." or "I can have kids at 40, deal with the very high probability of birth defects at that age, and have all the energy I need to control a teenager at 60"? Yeah, guess what? That's why your advice is best kept to your "hypothetical daughters" and not people with REAL daughters. You do not want to accept the fundamental premise of the traditions you reject which is that life is not all about you. No, really, it isn't. Spare us the "liberal, intellectual, humanist" blather. Being attuned to your personal enjoyment is not an intellectual achievement, it is a sign of never having graduated from the crib.

Where's Slow?
Have not seen posts from her on the other side in quite awhile, and am concerned. Anyone know where she has wondered off to? On another road trip? Is her daughter doing okay?
Well aren't y'all the little watchers?! Makes me feel good to know I'm missed. I don't know how life can get busier. Mosaic block for sure. I've made a Lazy Susan for Lally, and attached her stand to it. I've been cooking for a birthday gathering w/my three friends tomorrow, had weekend company, spent all day Monday in the Jeep Dealer, buying a new one, and today had errands to run. I simply can't come up w/an idea right now. Going to Dallas on Friday for the weekend, so when I come back, hopefully I'll have an idea, cuz I always go into withdrawals when away from home. Thank y'all for missing me. :

"Statistics are a composite, but there is only one me and only one you. You can't know an individual's soul in a statistic. You can't know their heart. You can't know their dreams, their frustrations and challenges, their tears. For me, this journey is more about the person behind the statistic, rather than the statistic itself."
"Angie handled her injury with great heart and grace, finishing out the season on the sidelines in support of her teammates all the way. Angie remained a leader, and I will forever remember her positive attitude as she dealt with such a devastating personal situation."
"It's her heart and her willingness to push it when it hurts. Not many others can do what she does. It's a very special thing."
"Beware of the great attractors, who can manifest whatever their hearts desire. Fear them, for they are God's in their own small universe, and like God's, can destroy your entire world; with a single thought."
"Sharing and taking are different. When you share, it is coming from the kindness of your heart. When you take, it is coming from the rootless part of your heart."

The Democratic Progressive Party, Taiwan's first opposition party, was founded in 1986 to challenge the one-party authoritarian rule of the Kuomintang. The DPP is committed to political change, supporting freedom of speech, press, assembly and association. In the 2000 presidential election, DPP candidate Chen Shui-bian's victory ended more than half a century of Kuomintang rule in Taiwan.
A decision to reinstate Chen may prove to be too difficult to make for the pro-independence party, given that any misstep could intensify the rift in the party between pro- and anti-Chen forces and affect its chances in next year's local government polls and the 2016 presidential election.Wednesday, 5 June, 2013, 3:52am
While Chiu Yi-ying, of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, could face a lawsuit, analysts said her action could best explain why Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou has been able to avoid becoming a lame duck, despite mounting criticism of his administration.30 Apr 2013 - 7:04am

Moves by Taiwan's main opposition Democratic Progressive Party to form a "China affairs committee" appear to have backfired.5 Dec 2012 - 3:31am
The chief prosecutor has dismissed suggestions that there is a pressing need for Hong Kong to have an independent director of public prosecutions (DPP).

The city may need specific laws to deal with intrusions of people's "intimate privacy" that are separate from common law offences such as outraging public decency, the chief prosecutor says.6 Nov 2012 - 3:28am
First came the suspension of year-end bonuses for retired public employees, a benefit that opposition politicians argued was unfair when so many Taiwanese are short on cash. Then came cuts to lawmakers' allowances, as well.3 Nov 2012 - 3:20am
Ever since President Ma Ying-jeou won re-election by defeating Tsai Ing-wen, the Democratic Progressive Party has been agonising over how to mend fences with Beijing so as to have a chance to regain power in Taiwan.24 Oct 2012 - 5:09am
All eyes are on whether former Taiwanese premier Frank Hsieh Chang-ting will be able to meet senior mainland official Jia Qinglin in Beijing this weekend.
Asked whether he would meet Jia, Hsieh said he was not sure if the meeting would take place. "Arrangements are still being made over who I shall meet in Beijing," he said.6 Oct 2012 - 10:23am 1 comment

Review Price £1,799.00
It's almost a year to the day since I found myself reviewing - and very much enjoying - Panasonic's PT-AE3000 LCD projector. And lo and behold, sat on my projector stand as we speak is that model's annual successor, the cunningly named PT-AE4000.
And I should imagine that it's feeling just a bit nervous, as it happens. For the last few months have been a real vintage period for the projection market, with all manner of great new models from a variety of manufacturers at a broad range of price points. So the AE4000 is going to have its work cut out if it's to look as impressive relative to the competition as its predecessor did.
Unfortunately, it stumbles at the very first hurdle. For in these days where even the most bargain basement projectors are managing at least a dash of style, the AE4000 enjoys all the aesthetic pleasures of a breeze block. Seriously, is there really any need in this day and age for Panasonic's premier home cinema projector to be housed in a plasticky, matt black, chunky rectangular box that looks like a throw-back to the worst bits of the 1980s?
The best that can be said about its drab looks is that they're symmetrical - although on a practical level, its matt black finish does at least not reflect light, and helps the projector 'disappear' if installed on the ceiling of a permanent, dark home cinema room.
The AE4000 steps up its game dramatically when you check out its connections, though. For rather superbly it carries three v1.3 HDMI inputs. This level of digital/HD catering isn't even found currently on ultra-costly projectors like Vivitek's H9085FD or SIM2's MICO 50.
Elsewhere there are component video inputs (as demanded by the increasingly outdated HD Ready specification), an S-Video input, a composite video input, a D-Sub PC port, a serial control bus and last but not least, two 12v trigger jacks. These are more interesting than unusual in that they can be set to function as inputs and outputs, enabling the projector to be engaged on a much more sophisticated level with other bits of kit in your system.
Another handy early feature of the AE4000 can be seen on its top panel, in the shape of two rotating 'dial' knobs. These provide a straightforward means of optically shifting the image in both the horizontal and vertical planes. And they let you do this over a wide enough range to accommodate the demands of even the most oddly shaped room without having to call on the image-distorting nastiness of keystone correction.
I have to say that I found the image shift knobs a little hard to use with any finesse, but with a little patience you'll get the image exactly where you want it. Zoom and focus, meanwhile, are motorised, and accessed simply by pressing a dedicated Lens button on the remote control. I was impressed, too, to see the AE4000 reinforcing its positioning flexibility by providing a really healthy x2 optical zoom level.

Fernleaf Bleeding Heart problem
I recently planted 2 small Fernleaf Bleeding Hearts close to each other in our new shade garden. We added some Nature's Helper according to the directions on the bag to the good new garden soil---which was brought in, and is not native---since we know that shade plants need fairly rich organic soil. One of the Bleeding Hearts, however, soon started having problems: the lower foliage began to turn black and die, and now the whole plant is almost gone.
My question is simply this: did the one Bleeding Heart die because we didn't mix the compost in evenly enough in that spot, or is there another cause for black foliage? The dead one got almost exactly the same water and sunlight as the one that's still alive and thriving.
Just wondering!
I do not know the answer to your question but I did disagree with your assumption "shade plants all need....soil". I have rather good soil due to years of oak leaves decaying. My mother in law has clay or sandy soil. I got my fern leaf bleeding hearts from her. They grow like weeds for her, self sowing all over the place. Mine have NEVER come up from seed they self sow and when I divide them, only about half survive. I water regularly, she is too frugal to ever water. It is quite possible we are over mothering this particular plant. My largest most vigerous plant is in a front bed near the house that gets more sun and less water than most of my plants. In fact I recently mulched that bed and the bleeding heart does not look happy about it.
arcy: Ok, obviously I now realize my assumption about rich soil for shade plants does not apply to bleeding hearts--they are at least one exception to this rule, as is evident in the fact that they are now dead, and I believe it was due to my soil amendment. I was simply looking for any other explanations for the black lower foliage, since every shade gardening book I have read instructed me to provide rich, organic, well-drained soil.

Anyone Grow Pink Surprise Bush? Orthosiphon lablatus
I purchased this plant recently - wasnt told much about it but it has beautiful blooms. I read online that it is hardy from zones 9-11. Has anyone pushed the limits on this plant? I am in zone 8 and was wondering if I kept it in the greenhouse over the winter and planted it in spring, if it might be able to be overwintered next year. Anyone have any photos of it as a mature bush?
I have grown Orthosiphon stamineus (aka Cat Whiskers, Java Tea) and my experience is that the one I planted in the ground didn't make it over the winter last year. The one I put in a pot stayed in my flower hut - not a greenhouse, it is not heated at all - during the winter and it died back there, but came back this spring. Very thirsty plant - I couldn't keep the one in the pot watered enough this summer, so as with all plants that need too much attention, it ended up in the compost pile last month.

The new collection is stronger than his most recent EP Teach which was released in May. This talented artist is dramatically improving his skills by the day. The contrasts between the two are incredible and worth the listen; compare the changes in mood and texture. The variously treated voice-samples with the dexterity in which he applies affects show his more playful side.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - I love the Little Sisters of the Poor. Anyone with a heart who has ever had any contact with them feels the same way. The epitomize everything beautiful about the Gospel, the Catholic Church, Christian faith, and humanity itself.
These women put legs on love. Their smile dispels the darkness of the hour. They offer their hands to the Jesus who still loves the poor so much that he comes to serve them. He reveals the depth of His love in a most beautiful way through these Little Sisters of the Poor. They care for Jesus himself, in the face of the sick and the dying. (See, Matthew 25)
My last personal contact with them was during the years I served St Benedict Catholic Church in Richmond, Virginia while I was engaged in doctoral studies in Moral Theology at the Catholic University of America.
Visiting St Joseph Home in Henrico, Virginia always moved me deeply inside. It drew me to my knees after I left. It showed me what I was studying, Moral Theology, in a way that all the books, lectures and research could never fully communicate. Those Little Sisters of the Poor reveal the Gospel without a need for words.
St Joseph Home is only one of many outreaches of this Catholic religious community. These faithful, humble, beautiful women of God provide Love to thousands around the world. They are beloved wherever they are.
My friend, the pastor of St. Benedict Catholic Church, Fr James Kauffmann, provided some pastoral care to them. His mother, of blessed memory, spent the last season of her beautiful life with the Little Sisters. They not only helped to care for her, but became a profound influence in her already saintly life.
On January 1, 2014, the Little sisters celebrated 175 years of caring for the elderly poor. The Lord, who loves them with such a special love, gave them a great gift to affirm them in their work of charity. They expressed their gratitude in a simple, non-confrontational Press release:
Supreme Court issues favorable decision on HHS Mandate: January 1, 2014, Baltimore: 2014 marks 175 years that the Little Sisters of the Poor have been caring for the elderly poor. We are grateful for the decision of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor granting us a temporary injunction protecting us from the HHS contraceptive mandate. We hope and pray that we will receive a favorable outcome in order to continue to serve the elderly of all faiths with the same community support and religious freedom that we have always appreciated.
These women are peacemakers, healers and missionaries of love. They are genuinely humble. They are also now the focal point in a major constitutional case before the US Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor handles what are called emergency applications from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Little Sisters in Denver, Colorado filed a motion for an emergency stay.
They asked the Highest Court in the United States of America to prevent the Obama Administration from compelling them - under threat of fines which would literally shut some facilities down and force them to violate their faith (which they will never do) - to pay for condoms, sterilizations, and chemical abortions under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).
The Justice granted the stay in an order which can be read here. She gave the Obama Administration until Friday, January 10, 2014, to file a responsive brief. The Obama Administration filed the brief. In effect, they argued that since the nuns can - as they wrote in their argument "with the stroke of a pen" - sign a form which allows them to shift the distribution to a third party, their case should be dismissed.
These simple, faithful, humble Catholic nuns who spend every waking hour caring for the poor, will not do indirectly what they cannot do directly. They are faithful Catholic Christians, with the courage borne of living faith. In other words, the Obama Administration is telling these nuns do what we say or you will be subjected to punitive fines which will threaten your work with the poor.
The Little Sisters correctly insist that sterilizations, abortifacient chemical birth control and artificial contraception are all immoral. They are not only against the teaching of the scripture and Christian tradition but, as Catholics, the Sisters also maintain that they violate the Natural Moral Law.
The Obama administration has asked the Court to compel these Little Sisters of the Poor to do indirectly what they refuse to do directly. They asked the Court to force Catholic nuns to sin, to act against conscience, to pursue an immoral course of action.
The nuns are placed in a situation reminiscent of other times in the history of the Church when unjust rulers sought to compel the Church to bend the knee to Caesar. This administration, led by a man who claims to admire Catholic Social Teaching and understand the concept of giving a love of preference to the poor, is seeking to compel the Little Sisters of the Poor to bend the knee.
In effect, the Little Sisters of the Poor are being bullied by the Obama Administration. There, I said it. They are being bullied and they need our support, in prayer, public outcry and support.
I know these self effacing, humble nuns women will not say it. They are being bullied by a regime which is violating the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution. A regime which gives lip service to caring for the poor while now seeking to compel nuns who serve the poor to violate their deeply held religious beliefs and violate the Natural Moral Law.
Fortunately these Little Sisters of the poor have a legal champion in their corner. They are being represented in this David v Goliath lawsuit by some of the best constitutional lawyers in the Nation, the lawyers at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. The Fund is working in tandem with Locke Lord, a national law firm and Kevin Walsh, a law professor at the University of Richmond in Virginia.
The Little Sisters are joined in the lawsuit by religious health benefit providers, Christian Brothers Services, Christian Brothers Employee Benefits Trust.
For the most accurate explanation of the issues, as well as the most accurate news coverage on this historic case, go right to the source, the Becket Fund. Remember, much of what is often called the main stream media has become a propaganda arm for the current Federal administration and does not report the news.
I know that my blunt assertions in this article will be met with some negative reaction. First from those who seek to use sophistry to argue that it is somehow OK for this Administration to compel faithful Catholic nuns to do indirectly what they cannot do directly. I contend with these folks regularly.
However, I will also be met with negative responses from some who, thinking that we now need a kinder, gentler tone, will object to the manner in which I state my position.
Frankly, I do not care. I write as a Constitutional lawyer, a Catholic Deacon and someone who has experienced the beauty of the acts of love in which the Little Sisters of the Poor are engaged. What is being done to them is not only unconstitutional, it is immoral and wrong.
I have never had much tolerance for big bullies. Especially big bullies like a Federal Administration which has exceeded its constitutional authority and decided to take on the Little Sisters of the Poor.

You Can Do It!
We asked child experts in Fairfield County, CT, for their best advice on how to instill and cultivate self confidence in children.
Experts agree that self-confidence is one of the most important contributors to good mental health for any individual, and the earlier you instill this trait in your child, the better his chance of success in many areas of life.
In addition to setting a good example for your child, one of the keys to fostering self-confidence is to genuinely support your child's efforts-even if the outcome of those efforts is less than perfect. "If a child has worked hard, that should be acknowledged. That is what motivates children to keep trying," says Siobhan Powers Streams, director of Landmark of Ridgefield Academy in Westport, CT. It's important to keep in mind, though, that encouragement and flattery are two different things, and the latter can actually harm your child's self-confidence in the long run.
"I believe that encouragement, rather than praise, is most helpful in developing healthy self-esteem in children," Powers Streams says. "Praise is evaluative and teaches the child to seek the approval of others, while encouragement teaches the child to value herself and the efforts that she makes. As a parent, your goal is to help your child develop the confidence and sense of competence that will allow her to make good decisions and not need the approval of others."
Read on for more advice from local experts on how to instill and cultivate self-confidence in your child.
What is your best advice for raising self-confident children?
"Authentic self-confidence stems from self-knowledge and self-control, which arise from a sense of competence in managing one's interior world. Parents should encourage their children to explore, ask them to do real work in support of the family/community, and praise them in a way that matches their efforts and intentions."
-Mark Dansereau, co-head, Connecticut Friends School, Wilton
"Encouraging a child by saying, 'You really put a lot of effort into this project' validates the child's work ethic rather than the grade, which is a measure of the teacher's approval. If a child has worked hard, that should be acknowledged, even if the outcome was less than perfect; that is what motivates children to keep trying.
Listening to your children and letting them know that you love them for who they are will also help develop a healthy self-esteem.
Another important component is helping children feel competent by allowing them to do things for themselves. When parents give children responsibilities, it shows that they believe in them enough to let them work out some of their own problems. This is also crucial to helping your child develop coping skills. Even two-year-olds love to say 'I can do it myself,' so let them try (as long as it's safe!). For example: If they spill their juice, they can help wipe it up. Part of learning to feel okay about yourself is learning that it is okay to make mistakes."
-Siobhan Powers Streams, director, Landmark of Ridgefield Academy, Westport
"I believe the best way to raise a child who exhibits self-confidence is by teaching him independence from the beginning. One way you can do this is by allowing your toddler to complete daily tasks with little parental assistance. Although at times it may be more work for you, the result is worth all of the messes and headaches because it will help your child accomplish a sense of pride and mastery. For example, you can let your child dress himself in the morning or allow him to feed himself at a meal. As your child discovers that he can in fact problem-solve on his own, he will begin to show self-confidence. This will be evidenced when your child explores new environments with a sense of adventure rather than fear."
-Brittany W. Kelley, MSW, LCSW, Bethel
"Raising self-confident children starts at a young age. Parents should give children the opportunity to do things for themselves, which will empower them to take risks and figure out how to get their needs met. The truth is that children are much more capable than their parents and caregivers give them credit for, and if we give them the tools to accomplish things on their own-such as putting on their own jacket or using their own words to ask for help-they will gain lifelong skills."
-Ann Hirsch, director, Landmark of Ridgefield Academy, Redding

This is the perfect dish created from leftovers for a Sunday night easy meal. Grab some cooked rice and eggs, add some tinned tomatoes and off you go!
Budget, Lunch box, Rice, Salads
Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160°C fan-forced and lightly grease a couple of ramekin dishes.
Mix rice with tomatoes and season well with salt and pepper. Divide mixture between the two dishes and crack eggs into each one.
Push mozzarella into rice around dish edges (keeping the egg whole in the middle). Drizzle with olive oil and place in oven for 20 minutes or until egg is just cooked.
Sprinkle generously with parmesan and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve with some warmed bread.
