5 Ways to Have Fun with Your Baby on a Rainy Day
It just so happens that my baby and I didn't have a lot of common interests for the first several months, unless you count snuggling.
Yes, staring at each other passes the time and reading books happens every day, but those aren't very novel. Searching for a few indoor activities that are just as fun for me and a wee one, I wanted to dig a little deeper and think of the activities that brought big smiles, if not fits of giggles, to both our faces.
Prepping Your Little One for a Trip to the Pediatrician
Heading to the pediatrician? Whether it's baby's first check-up, or your toddler's first "big kid" visit, allow me to impart some of my wisdom…
Personally, I've always felt that bringing a newborn to the pediatrician for the first time is both comforting and anxiety-provoking. And here's why: it feels like I'm returning, for a few brief moments, to the experts who know way more than I do about everything when it comes to this baby stuff. I better not mess it up, I always think to myself. But now that I've been down this path three times before, I can assure you that the doctor is only a phone call away.
To be most prepared for your 10-minute session, here are some things I've learned: More
5 Photos Every Mom Should Take During Baby's First Year
Baby's first smile. Baby's first crawl. Baby's first birthday – complete with smash cakes. There are so many "first" moments we want to capture with our cameras, and since we all now carry them in our purses – or diaper bags – it's never been easier.
Though you may be with your baby 'round the clock, the odds are that you (yes you, Mom) are always behind the camera, pointing it at your little sidekick; and never in front of it. But years from now, when you flip through that baby book, where will you be?
My one piece of advice: Do yourself a favor now, and turn the camera on yourself every now and again – so you can look back on early motherhood and know that you were actually there, too.
Here's a list of photo ideas that celebrate Mama's milestones as well as baby's. (And don't require a professional photography session.) More
Going Somwhere? Vacation Rental Tips for Family Getaways
Parents often joke that when you travel with children, it's not a "vacation", but rather a "trip". Point taken. Vacation implies a break from our everyday responsibilities and with a baby or two in tow, there's really no break from feeding, cleaning, and organizing gear. Blargh.
I loathe going to the grocery store when we are on vacation, but despite the domestic responsibilities that come along with a vacation house rental, the benefits of a house or condo over a hotel often win out. Here's why so many grown-ups favor rental homes once kids are on the scene:
Beat the Heat! Keep Cool with These Summer Baby Essentials
Carrying a baby around in the summer can be a sweaty proposition. (Just thinking about it makes me a little warm behind the knees.) From lightweight, breezy carriers to fun and sun-safe swimwear, here are a few must-haves to keep your baby comfy and cool all summer long.
Fun First Foods for Babies: Summer Edition
Whether you want to feed your baby smooth purees or give your toddler a big hunk of fruit to gnaw on, summer is a good time to explore new foods together.

Below are 7 delicious "meals" to try out on your little one.
Last-Minute Father's Day Ideas for Baby-Brained Mamas
Before you panic about being unprepared for Father's Day this Sunday, I want to remind you that you probably already have everything you need to celebrate. (Yes, really.) Think about it: you could brew some coffee, change all of today's diapers, and whip up a real present, all in a few minutes.
Here are some other last-minute ideas every baby-brained mama should take advantage of.
You could print these DIY labels and make even the simplest gift look lovely before he comes down for his morning coffee. Things you can buy in 30 minutes or less: Your husband's favorite candy or snack food (already in your house or right at the corner store); new barbecue tools; or coffee beans. (See how I'm just grasping at whatever I know he'll like?) Even if it's nothing fancy, labels dress it up just enough to qualify as a gift. And when it's hand-delivered by a super-cute kiddo? Well, that makes it even better.
4 Budget-Friendly Summer Activities That Are Right in Your Town
By the time your baby sits up, you're probably aware of the myriad enrichment classes available to you: Music Together, Gymboree, Baby Massage, Le Petite Baleen, and more. I am a fan of all of them and have not one bad word to say about them.
Okay, maybe one bad word: Expensive.
While I do encourage you to try out a bunch of classes, because you never know where you might meet your new best mommy friend, I want to also make sure you know about these amazing, local, tax-payer-funded goodies for families with young children. Put them on a bucket list of things to do before your little one's first birthday. More
Maternity Leave Outings with Baby That Are Fun for You, Too
When I have a long stretch of unstructured time, I just about lose my mind. My first maternity leave was like that, but compounded with hormones, a little one, and a lot of self-doubt. To find my new normal, I made tiny goals to leave the house every day.
I like to have goals and a to-do list, even if it's someone else's list. Maternity leave–whether for six weeks or six years–is a tremendous bonding opportunity with a new baby (plus, it can be a fun time off from work, too!). My best tip for maximizing your own enjoyment with this beautiful gift of time is to set your to-do list aside and create a new set of goals.
3 Things on My Mother's Day Wish List (That I'm Still Waiting For)
My very first Mother's Day I was not yet a mom. I was practically bursting with my nine-months-pregnant swollen belly and matching ankles; but I didn't have a child.
My husband, Alec, and I had walked to a neighborhood cafe for a celebratory dinner. I was in flip-flops, because that's about all I could wear on my marshmallow feet. Uncharacteristically for the Bay Area, it started torrentially pouring rain during dinner. I remember these silly details because the restaurant manager, a woman named Sarah, offered to drive us home the few blocks. Alec and I were still engaged in some rather heated baby-naming discussions and I figured that we could name our future surprise-baby Sarah rather than Sara, based on her kindness.
Three sons and nine Mother's Days later… and things look rather different for me.

Are store-bought dried red beans just dyed that color?
The pkg clearly says they aren't:
However, after sorting, rinsing & then soaking the beans for 18 hours the liquid I poured off was very reddish color and most of the beans had turned from a uniform darker red to a mixed blend of mostly much lighter colors:
Been on a dried bean cooking and canning binge lately. (just 3 kinds canned so far) Decided not to "muddy up" two excellent threads on beans and ask this question in a separate post.
The other threads I was referring to:
How to can garbanzo beans/chickpeas?
The quality, and specifically, the pH and type of minerals (or lack thereof) found in your tap water will affect the type of color change that happens to various vegetables during the cooking process. My tap water here is naturally very hard and alkaline, and it discolors many vegetables badly unless I acidify it with vinegar, lemon juice, or sour salt prior to cooking or soaking. Usually, I try to avoid boiling vegetables in tap water for this very reason, preferring instead to steam them in their own juices or just a bit of bottled distilled water.
You might find that you get somewhat better color retention in beans and other items if you add acid to the water. It won't completely stop the loss of color, because many of the plant pigments are naturally water soluble and will leach out, but it helps somewhat.
With beans, too, remember one other thing is playing out as you soak them -- they pick up water and expand quite a bit. As a result, the seed coat stretches out, diluting the pigmentation. It's kind of like writing on a balloon with a magic marker and then blowing it up -- the writing becomes more and more spread out and lighter in color the bigger the balloon gets. At least that is my take on it.
Thanks much for the answers! I knew someone here would know.
Quit cooking with and drinking tap water in the 80s & bought a Sears distiller. After retiring in early 90s I took courses by the DNR and Mo Conservation Dept to become a certified water quality monitor volunteer (lakes & streams) so have equipment to test for dissolved solids, pH etc. Wish I didn't have to even shower in city tap water. There are usually several "boil orders" issued a year around here because something has contaminated the public water system.
Ever pickle garlic and have it turn blue/greenish color? Ugly!
Practically grew up on Red Dye #2 and is why I was concerned about the beans. A dear cyber-friend recently sent me "The China Study" and I'll probably be making more dietary changes.
This forum continues to be the best on the internet!
before Rit came along, fabric dyes were made from things lilke this. I have a quilt made by my grandmother in the late 19th century while she was waiting for her future husband to get back from Texas where he'd gone to seek his fortune. He came back without the money, but she married him anyway.
The quilt has lovely vines and flowers appliques, mostly reds and greens and family lore is that the muslim from which the flowers and vines were cut had been dyed with roots and bark (maybe some red beans).
Maybe you could go into the natural dye business!
They might have used red peppers, but it's hard to know exactly what color dye they would have yielded. Obviously, we would all assume red. But, when my sister was into spinning and dyeing her own wool back in the 1970's and 1980's, I thought it was quite interesting how the colors of the finished product changed from the original color of the plant pigments -- it all depended upon many factors, and it could be manipulated to give different outcomes. Usually the outcomes were predictable, but sometimes things didn't work as planned and a different color came out of the vat. Very interesting.

How to Lose Weight if You Are a Kapha Ayurveda Mind-Body Type
Kapha represents the earth and water elements in Ayurveda medicine of India. Ayurveda means science of life and provides detailed advice for diet, nutrition and how to treat disease. Kapha individuals tend to have large bones, thick hair, good physical stamina and a calm disposition. Kaphas also have an infamous sweet tooth, and if they overeat frequently, they tend to carry extra weight. If extreme, obesity can increase risk for chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes.Panchakarma is a detoxification that can be done with an Ayurvedic practitioner. There is a simple version that can be done at home for 5 to 7 days. If you have any serious medical conditions or are more than 15 percent over your appropriate body weight, consult your physician or an Ayurvedic specialist.
Things You'll Need
- Triphala
- Ghee
- Corn oil
- Brown basmati rice
- Red or yellow split lentils
- ¼ tsp. coriander
- ¼ tsp. cumin,
- ¼ tsp. mustard seed
Follow the advice of Dr. Vasant Lad, an Ayurvedic specialist. He advises Kaphas do a home panchakarma (detoxification) by taking 2 ounces of ghee (sold in Indian grocery or health food stores) daily with equal amounts of black pepper, ginger or Indian long pepper for 3 days.
Continue by doing a small oil massage daily: rub about 2 tbsp. of heated corn oil over the head, scalp and entire body before showering in the morning. Every morning before breakfast, consume a drink of hot water and fresh lemon juice squeezed into it to prompt peristalsis. Wait 20 to 30 minutes before eating fresh fruit and tea.
Prepare kitchari, a traditional Ayurvedic dish for detoxifying the body. It is comprised of basmati rice and red or yellow split lentils cooked together with turmeric. Eat this mixture for lunch and dinner with steamed seasonable vegetables for the first 4 days.
Take triphala, a mixture of three dried fruits before bed with water. Consume 1 to 3 tbsp. of flax seed oil to ensure daily bowel movements. Following Dr. Vasant Lad's expertise once more, take a medicated enema each night to clear the colon. He recommends boiling 1 tbsp. of dahamoola tea in a pint of water (sold in stores specializing in Indian goods). Cool and strain this mixture and use as a nightly enema.
Continue this detox diet by eating only kitchari for days 5 to 7. Drink plenty of warm teas appropriate for Kapha (there are Ayurvedic teas labeled as Kapha in specialty stores).
Do gentle exercise daily. To lose weight permanently, exercise for 20 to 30 minutes daily. Walking before breakfast or for 10 minutes after each meal is a gentle way to reintroduce daily exercise. Bring bottled water and enjoy these walks as a way to boost mood and metabolism. Return to your normal eating by gradually adding steamed vegetables, fresh raw salads and easy to digest foods.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- To prepare kitchari for a day's meals rinse 1 cup of brown or white basmati rice with 1 cup of red or yellow split lentil. Place them in a medium pot, adding 5 to 6 cups filtered water. Add ¼ tsp. each of cumin, coriander and mustard seed. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to cook slightly uncovered for about 25 minutes.
- Do not do this detox diet if you are pregnant or have just recovered from any illness, such as a cold or flu, unless under a doctor's care.
- Do not starve yourself or do very strenuous exercise while doing the panchakarma.

OBAMA TO SOFTEN TONE ON ISRAEL – PLAYBOOK LUNCH TODAY: Transportation Sec. Foxx, EPA Administrator McCarthy -- NEW TWITTER FEED: @WalkersBunker – ASHLEY ETIENNE married – THE FINAL 4
By Mike Allen (@mikeallen; firstname.lastname@example.com), with Daniel Lippman (@dlippman; firstname.lastname@example.com)
Good Monday morning. SNEAK PEEK – Kate Andersen Brower's "The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House," (out Apr. 7 from Harper), as reported by Yahoo's Jon Ward: "[T]he Clintons changed the phone system in the White House because they thought, according to [longtime White House usher James W.F. 'Skip'] Allen, that 'too many people could listen in on them' under the old operator-run phone system. 'So they had all the White House phones changed over to interior circuitry so that if the first lady was in the bedroom and the president was in the study, she could ring him from room to room without going through the operator,' Brower writes." http://yhoo.it/1Db7FjQ $19.99 pre-order on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1MmZVB7

** A message from the Partnership for Open & Fair Skies: For more than 30 years, Open Skies agreements have ensured a level playing field for airlines around the world. But Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are violating U.S. Open Skies policy, breaking the rules and providing $42 billion in government subsidies and unfair benefits to their state-owned airlines. And as these unfair practices continue, the damages to U.S. airlines, U.S. jobs, and the U.S. economy will only increase.
Middle East airlines are now targeting the United States for dramatic expansion. Open Skies agreements give state-owned Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, and Emirates Airline open and unfettered access to the U.S. market but the carriers are using subsidies to seize market share from U.S. airlines, shifting good American aviation jobs overseas and damaging the U.S. economy. America deserves fair competition and open skies -- we need to keep the playing field level. Get the facts at OpenAndFairSkies.com **

TWP 1500 vs Cabot Deck finishes
I'm sure this has been discussed to death but I can't find the information that I need.
My question is what is the comparison between TWP and Cabot Deck products? Does the cabot stain also need a protector applied to it after? Which is easier to use?
Basically, I just finished building a cedar deck and am trying to pick out a deck stain/protector. I've read many different things that say all sorts of different advice. I think I have it narrowed down to TWP 1500 and Cabot.
I have never used TWP but I did stain our deck with one of the Cabot oil deck stains in a semi transparent color. I has held up better than any other product I have used. That said, I stained the redwood bench that runs on one side of the deck with another Cabot product: Australian Timber Oil. It only comes in three colors I believe, but when my deck needs refinishing I plan to use it because it looks beautiful on the bench. It has a sheen that the deck stain lacks. Could be a little slippery, I suppose, but not bad. It is not just a surface finish like a varnish and it has held up even better than the deck stain.
So for the Australian Timber Oil, you do not have to apply anything else over the top? You just put the ATO on and thats it? Their website wasn't clear on that and they haven't gotten back to me.
Any other opinions or advice for either product? TWP or Cabot?
They both have a total different approach all together in make up.
Cabot product is a lot like paint, twp product is resin base. One gets on the wood the other gets in it. Cabot will require stripping after a few go arounds,twp never needs stripping but requires more coats to keep looking good.
There is a post on this subject in Contractor Talk, it spans 5 years or so and has had close to 30,0000 looking at it the thing just keep going.
Folks there is no perfect anwser !!! and no end to the products coming out with wild over wild cliams of perfection. My advise is to keep it simple. Do not expect any outdoor finish to stay nice looking with out Work.
Manmade decking/railing tried to fill this workless American hunger 20 years ago after all the smoke cleared it's the same story. If you dont want to keep your project nice because it requires Work......Place a Dirt Deck ... with the option of high flex Grass hire the guy that knocks on your door to mow it. Bamm Bamm not counting the water you have a no maintance area.
Australian Timber OIl is an Oil. If I recall it is a mixture of stuff like tung oil linseed oil etc. It does not need sealing. I don't know what Cabot used to color the colored versions. Mine was very attractive.
john_hyatt: Do you mean that TWP has no pigments in their products? Cabot oil stains come in a variety of transparecies. Only the thickest is paint like. My stepson always paints his deck and it doesn't last a bit longer than mine stained with semi-transparent (middle thickness) Cabot. Mine has lasted 3 years and that is about the longest I can get from stain in our desert weather. Many stains like Olympic and TWP were 1` or 2 year products for me, even when the Olympic was the 3 or 5 year grade don't recall which).

tool storing caddy
jollyrd(Richmond VA)May 24, 2010
Just wanted to share this with you. Thanks to DH's grandpa who loves to go to all estate farm sales in eastern Kansas, I got this for free. I've been looking to buy something to store tools and that you can move around easy, but I never saw this in any store. During our last trip to KS, he just had it and gave it to us. We drove it all the way from Kansas to VA on top of our van. I cant believe the price tag on it - can this be real? $160?
It stays dry inside even in heavy rain. All shelves and trays are movable; it has two wheels on the back and a handle so that you can move it around the garden.
What do you use for storing and transporting your tools?

Sorry to say that while Ron and his friend Paul were great, in the 2 months that my wife and I stayed in the apartment we were almost constantly plagued by mice.
I stayed in NY with my friend at Ron's place for 4 days, the stay was beautiful. Right when we first arrived, Paul (Ron's friend), met us and gave us the key. Paul explained in details everything about the room, he was very welcoming, and even left us some breakfast and beers in the fridge. Also nice, they even gave us access to the computer with free internet. When we first turned on the computer, a page with all the touristic events in town during our stay was already opened. The room was exactly as shown in the pictures, right what we needed; an affordable clean place to stay in, clean towels, computer and internet, queen bed with comfortable sheets, TV, dishes and cups. The house is warm, and very close to Penn station, where we arrived on a bus from DC. It is also within walking distance of times square, and other touristic places. A subway station is about 4 blocks away from the apartment. Thank you Ron and Paul for this nice welcoming to NY, we will definitely visit you again whenever we are in the city.

Ron was going to be out of town so his friend Paul met me at the apartment. He was very helpful, engaging and easy to reach by phone and text message. Ron's apartment was clean and labeled with notes letting me know where things were, how to use the computer, which drawers were empty for me to use, etc. There was even some breakfast in the refrigerator! The queen size bed was comfortable, the apartment was quiet and the location was very convenient. I highly recommend staying at Ron's apartment.
Great host and great apartment. Quiet, comfortable and near Madison Square Garden, Penn Station, Empire State Building and Chelsea. It's a bargain! I've spent two weeks and would definitely return. Thanks Ron and Paul.
10 out of 10 Stars! Two Thumbs WAY Up! This is a TREMENDOUS space and a bargain as well, if your rent by week. I just returned after staying a week at Ron's incredible studio. As a first time user of Airbnb, I really didn't know what to expect. What I found was: Perfect location, an elevator building (!), 9th floor rear so you hear NO traffic noise from 30th Street and very easy access to buses and metro. Ron is a gentleman of the first order, a superb host who went out of his way to ensure all things (keys, A/C, computer, etc.) were perfect for me. As a foodie, his kitchen was WONDERFUL and a variety of markets and delis are very nearby for shopping and thus cooking at home. The computer was a tremenous help so I didn't have to lug my laptop. Plentiful hot water, towels, cutlery, glassware and cookware. The whole space says "Comfort! and Welcome!" Ron is an extraordinary person: delightful, knowledgeable, humourous and above all, generous in his ability to make guests feel comfortable and at ease. I confess, it was difficult to leave since I had made it my 'home'. Thank you, thank you!! I cannot recommend Ron and his beautiful studio more strongly. I will DEFINITELY rent from him again!! Bravo Ron, and a standing ovation for being the SUPERB host and person that you are!
Ron was a great host and the place was fabulous! He made sure my keys worked and provided maps and made me feel very comfortable. You cannot beat this location either - one block from Penn Station, easy access to all NYC has to offer. I will definitely stay at Ron's place again.
As soon as Ron booked the place he made me numerous request to cancel the booking, hopefully he had change in plans.
He wanted me to cancel so that he gets full refund, but i could not cancel as Airbnb would have charged me.
As soon as he arrives he starts all his complain..
He had issues in everything.. As if he had come to create issues.
Would never recommend, have hosted so many people..
One of the worst nightmares of my life..
Would never recommend to others..
Ron was a polite and a good guest to host. He himself being an airbnb host had a lot to share and we had a good time hosting him and his friends.
Ron and his friend were great guests. Communication was excellent, I knew when they were on the way so I could let them in. On departure they left the place extremely tidy, I would certainly host Ron again and encourage others to do so. It was an absolute pleasure.
J'ai reçu avec beaucoup de plaisir Ron. C'est un voyageur extremement agréable. Non seulement, il a été un hôte parfait mais il a encore su prendre l'initiative d'améliorer le confort de l'appartement. Je serai heureux de le revoir l'année prochaine, comme il en a le projet. Je ne peux que le conseiller à tout le monde.
I received with great pleasure Ron. This is an extremely pleasant traveler. Not only was he a great host, but he still managed to take the initiative to improve the comfort of the apartment. I am happy to see him next year as he has the project. I can only recommend him to everyone.
Ron is fantastic. He made everything super easy and was very respectful. I was so surprised to come home and find the place so clean as if the cleaning person was here.

Rolled up in Canna leaf
Is this a good larva? Can anyone ID it? I usually find the white worms rolled in my Cannas, but this was found this morning. Thanks, Jeannie:)
To determine who it is:
1. Put the pupa in a clear container.
2. Add lid that's porous -- eg. paper towel -- held in place with a rubberband.
3. Set on the counter/ your desk -- a place where you'll see it every day.
When the moth emerges, post its picture for us to see.
Rhizo....please get out of the dark! I mean as "good larva" when it becomes an adult will it be beneficial to my garden or will it eat up my canna leaves again.If it will be a moth or butterfly, they are welcomed in my yard. Just trying to find out. Isn't that what this forum is about.
Jean001a....I did as you posted and hopefully we will see what it becomes.
Thanks, Jeannie :)
Jeannie.....let me turn the light on for YOU, lol. You are clearly confused.
ALL moth and butterfly larvae feed on plants. They might be foliage, bud, steaaym, seed, or flower eaters. That is what they do. It is up to you to decide whether or not you are willing to sacrifice a few plants (or a LOT of plants) in order allow those caterpillars to develop into the adult butterflies or moths.
Most adults feed on plant juices for their short existance as moths or butterflies. During that time, they perform as a minor pollinator (beneficial) and major 'beautifier ', depending upon the species. Some don't feed at all as adults. Many people judge the benefit of the adults by how beautiful they may or may not be.
The adults live solely to mate; the female will then lay eggs on a preferred host plant and usually die shortly thereafter. The eggs hatch......well, you know what happens after that. The adult will turn around to lay another generation of eggs on the canna.
I grow citrus in containers for one reason. I love to observe the entire Giant Swallowtail butterfly life cycle. The fascinating caterpillars strip the leaves in a matter of weeks. Are they "good larvae "? The spectacular butterflies are of more benefit to my soul than they are to the ecology of my gardens as a whole.
Your canna leaf roller caterpillar will turn into a short lived adult. It's up to you to decide whether it is of enough benefit to counter balance the damage to your canna. I expect that there is quite a bit of good information on the internet to help you make your decision.
My question to you was an honest one. I don't really care (anymore) if you understand the roles of the adult or larvae pestering your canna, but the general topic does come up quite often in several of the forums. It CAN be an interesting topic.....
Not confused.....I've been gardening for over 30yrs.....I have just never seen that large of a what-ever-it is on my canna leaves. I've had the small white (almost see through ones) off and on for over 30 yrs. I love watching nature also.....I have so much butterfly weed in my garden already and I still buy more every spring for the butterflies. Just wanted to see what this would turn into. Thanks, Jeannie :)
Did this guy make threads around the leaf to hold it closed? Found some Canna leaves like that yesterday. Inside each was a little greenish caterpillar, lots of poo, smelly. Lesser canna leafrollers I think since sources I found said greater canna leafrollers cut the leaves before rolling them. I don't usually interfere but I got involved in this one for sure.
From what I can discern with the help of the handy-dandy WWW, yellow sulphur larvae will munch a bit on leaves but they don't roll them up. Lesser leafrollers are not attractive, IMO, and not why I have the Cannas. The leafrollers have no purpose except to eat Cannas, as far as I can tell.
The link below is informative but I'm very disappointed in the control info. It took 5 minutes to remove the affected leaves and eradicate the munchers. Can't imagine poisoning the yard over something so trivial, easy to find, and eradicate.
Here is a link that might be useful: NC State info sheet
Thanks Rhizo. Looks like it is the larger canna leafroller, Calpodes ethlius (Stoll), whose adult form is variously called the Brazilian skipper, the canna butterfly, or the arrowroot butterfly. I found this website for more info. Thanks, Jeannie :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Featured Creatures
It started to rain, so I checked on him and now setting him free. I've always seen the smaller white worms (almost see-thru) and never saw one when it was this large. It was a neat experience to watch. Thanks purpleinopp for the advice. I raise butterflies (mostly Monarch and a few Gulf Fritillary ). Thanks, Jeannie :)
I wanted to also thank Jean001a for the idea about watching it in the jar with papertowel and rubberband. I had it on a tall shelf in my covered breezeway and it just started raining earlier, and I went to check on it and noticed it had emerged. I'm sure I'll use the jar idea again. I've been seeing a black butterfly fluttering by in the summer, but he always leaves my yard....I guess he/she's being selective on what he/she's looking for. I have all kinds of tropical plants and lots of native ones. Who knows! Thanks, Jeannie :)

At a cafe table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with a suspicious and possibly armed American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the tale that has brought them to this fateful meeting.
Changez is living an immigrant s dream of America. At the top of his class at Princeton, he is snapped up by Underwood Samson, an elite firm that specializes in the valuation of companies ripe for acquisition. He thrives on the energy of New York. But in the wake of 9/11, he finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned. And Changez s own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and perhaps even love. "
When it was announced that the accused Times Square bomber was a Pakistani-American, Mohsin Hamid, the author of the 2007 novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist, noticed several parallels between the life of his main character and Faisal Shahzad, the accused bomber. More at NPR.org

What Ferguson can teach Miami about civilian oversight
As with people, cities can learn from their mistakes or from the mistakes of others. The latter option is preferable. The recent events in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, Mo., can be instructive for any American city.
Two weekends ago, a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager, as he was walking near his grandmother's house. The fatal shooting exposed deep racial and economic divisions in the community. As police response to protests have escalated, the community has been torn apart. What remains clear is that many of the residents do not trust the police and feel that their voices have not been heard.
The city of Miami has a troubled history of its own with police shootings. Only last year, an investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) found that there was "reasonable cause to believe that [the Miami Police Department] engages in a pattern or practice of excessive use of force with respect to firearms discharges."
This was the second time that the DOJ had cause to investigate MPD in a little more than a decade. The first investigation began in May 2002 and was predicated on allegations that officers had used excessive deadly and nondeadly force. The DOJ concluded in 2003 that there were deficiencies in MPD's investigative practices and observed that officers' use of deadly force was sometimes avoidable. They also noted that the promise of a Civilian Investigative Panel ("CIP") should provide a crucial oversight mechanism and be an important deterrent of police misconduct.
The CIP, which was established in 2002, consists of 13 diverse members of the community who are authorized to review and investigate complaints of misconduct by sworn members of the police department. It was intended to add accountability, transparency and legitimacy to the relationship between the residents and the police. Functioning as it should, it provides an independent and unbiased forum where the public can be heard when they are aggrieved by the police and an avenue of communication through which panel members can provide thoughtful perspectives and recommendations to the chief of police and City government.
In an age of increased and rapid media scrutiny, no issue or controversy remains local. Yet, decisions that result in incremental and fundamental changes in trust in the police and community safety most often happen at the local decision-making level. Thus, community input is valuable to the citizens, elected officials, and the police department. Good civilian oversight can prevent the distrust and anger that precedes rioting. As Martin Luther King said, "Riot is the language of the unheard." The CIP provides a forum to be heard.
It was a coalition of community organizations that came together in 2001 to demand the creation of a community oversight body for Miami police, won 73.8 percent support on a binding public ballot and midwifed the birth of the CIP in the city's charter and code. Prompted by the fatal shootings of seven young black men over the course of just seven months in 2010/2011, that same coalition came together once again to monitor and study the current performance of the CIP.
Unfortunately, after three and a half years of scrutiny, the coalition that helped create the CIP recently presented evidence to the Miami City Commission demonstrating that the current CIP is not fulfilling its mission and is not meeting the requirements of the city charter and code. In response, city commissioners appointed a five-member Independent Review Committee to look into the performance of the CIP and its independent counsel.
It is the coalition's hope that the important work of the Independent Review Committee will put the CIP back on the right track — for the sake of all the Michael Browns who live in the city of Miami.
Jeanne Baker and Julia Dawson co-chair the Police Practices Committee of the Miami Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and members of the Civilian Investigative Panel Community Coalition of Organizations.
