Last Light
Last Light, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
After the sunset light often lingers. For example, in late February, long after nominal sunset Horsetail Falls in Yosemite lights up.
As this photo from Pirate's Cove shows, the last light is often the best light: dreamy, otherwordly, mysterious, and evocative.
[Nikon D300, 18-200VR zoom lens at 120mm (180mm in 35mm terms), 93 seconds at f/14 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Dusk at Pirate's Cove
Dusk at Pirate's Cove, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
On Saturday I went with a few friends from the Bay Area Photography & Exploration Society to photograph Pirate's Cove in the Marin Headalnds. The idea was to photograph star trails, and I even schlepped a second camera body and tripod so I could multitask by taking automated exposures for stacking in Photoshop.
As is often the case, the weather didn't cooperate, and dense, low-lying fog came in at dusk. I took the captures in this image shortly before we packed it in and headed up through the clouds.
Marin County lacks eating establishments that stay open late. As has happened before when I've gone shooting at night, we ended up at the all-night Denny's in Corte Madera. Good company, but hardly gourmet dining.
[Nikon D300, 18-200 VR zoom lens at 20mm (30mm in 35mm terms), six exposures combined in Photoshop at shutter speeds between 8 seconds and two minutes, all exposures at f/22 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Simple Anemone
Simple Anemone, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Briefly noted: this flower is a simple and small anemone from our garden, photographed using a daylight-balanced white box.
More anemone images: Anemone Japonica, White Anemone.
[Nikon D300, Zeiss Macro 100mm f/2 ZF Makro-Planar T* Manual Focus Lens, three exposures combined in Photoshop from 0.5 of a second to 2.5 seconds at f/22 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Nurse Ashlee Visits Katie Rose
Nurse Ashley Visits Katie Rose, photo by Harold Davis.
We had a nice visit this week from Ashlee, a NICU nurse who was there when Katie was born, and who helped take care of Katie in the NICU. This photo shows Ashlee holding Katie Rose in our living room.
Katie Rose in Chiaroscuro
Katie Rose in Chiaroscuro, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Katie Rose was sleeping upstairs. The room was dark, except for a low-watt lamp that illuminated part of her face. I shot this handheld, high ISO (ISO 1,600) photo in low light conditions to take advantage of the wonderful chiaroscuro light (not to mention the angelic baby).
Chiaroscuro refers to a lighting situation in which there is an extreme contrast between light and dark areas.
In Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), I made several passes on the RAW file to exaggerate the chiaroscuro effect. I combined these different exposures from the same RAW file in Photoshop as layers.
It would have been pretty easy to process the noise out of this high ISO image. In fact, I made no effort to process the noise inherent in the photo. Instead, I converted the noise to simuated film grain using the NIK filter set. Next, I partially converted the image to black and white, using two Photoshop black and white adjustment layers, one set to maximum white and the other to maximum black. The point of the multiple black and white adjustment layers was to partially desaturate parts of the photo while continuing the chiaroscuro.
[Nikon D300, 18-200mm VR zoom lens (with image stabilization engaged) at 105mm (157.5mm in 35mm terms), 1/25 of a second at f/5.6 and ISO 1600.]
Gaillardia Gone to Seed
Gaillardia Gone to Seed, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
This is a flatbed scan of the seed pods of Gaillardia. (You can see one of these pods in the foreground of this photo.) I used an Epson 9660 scanner set to the highest possible resolution that the scanner would actually do the scan, and imported the results directly into Photoshop.
I left the scanner lid open. The background is black velvet cloth jury-rigged over the three-dimensional pods with tape and sticks.
Some other flatbed scans: Iris Scans; My Brilliant Butterfly; Nautilus on Black.
Curvature, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Briefly noted: A brisk, cold wind blew as the sun set over the Pacific. Mark and I were perched on the edge of a crumbling cliff. As the light of sunset burnished the Pacific edge of Point Reyes, I hurried to make a few exposures, hoping the wind wouldn't blow over my tripod, or blow me over the cliff (Mark's tripod did get blown over).
[Nikon D300, 18-200 VR zomm lens at 18mm (27mm in 35mm terms), circular polarizer, 1/4 of a second at f/13 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Between Earth and Sky
Between Earth and Sky, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
On our way home from a sunset-to-night hike on the Tomales Point fork of Point Reyes, Mark and I stopped at the wreck of the Point Reyes fishing trawler. Many people like to photograph this trawler, which is easily accessible outside of Inverness, California.
The week before, at my Point Reyes night photography workshop, I'd been stymied in my idea of stacking photos to produce circular star trails (stymied because it was cloudy). But this time it was clear. The stars were bright, although a little less than on Tomales Point, probably because of the ambient light pollution.
I pointed the camera north, and used a digital fisheye lens to maximize the celestial rotation of the star trails.
First I tested the light with a one minute exposure at ISO 800 at f/3.5. Then I made an eight minute ISO 100 exposure (with in-camera long exposure noise reduction enabled) for the foreground. This image in its entirety is found below (I think it is interesting in its own right, with the still stars at the center and circular star trails around the edges).
Next, I turned noise reduction off, and programmed my Nikon MC-36 remote for twenty exposures, each capture at four minutes, ISO 100, and f/5.6.
It was damp and a bit chilly in the dark, and for a while Mark and I left my camera on autopilot and sat some distance away in my car, listening to the superb and eerie music of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. After twelve exposures (about 48 minutes) our patience wore out and weariness won. Mark had a plane to catch in the morning for a business meeting, and I've been going on fumes since Katie Rose was born. I stopped the automated exposure process, and packed it in.
This morning, I combined the thirteen images in Photoshop using the Statistics script, choosing Maximum as the method for combination. An airplane trail in one of the captures made it into the stack, and I decided to keep this apparent visual anomaly. Finally, I layered in the longer exposure for the detail in the foreground and boat.
[Above: Thirteen captures, all captures Nikon D300, 10.5mm digital fisheye, tripod mounted; one capture 8 minutes at f/3.5 and ISO 100; twelve captures 4 minutes at f/5.6 and ISO 100; star trails created by statistical stacking of 13 exposures; foreground created by layer with the 8 minute exposure using a gradient and layer mask. Below: Nikon D300, 10.5mm digital fisheye, 8 minutes at f/3.5 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]

Briefly noted: I gave Julian a lesson in macro photography, and for practice I showed him how to photograph this door knob.
[Nikon D300, 105mm f/2.8 macro, 25 seconds at f/40 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Gaillardia Caucus
Gaillardia Caucus, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Yesterday was the first rain of the season, a light mist that made the garden wet and saturated colors under a bright, but cloudy, sky. When I went out to photograph I was struck how my clump of Gaillardia in the side yard had proliferated. It's hard not to love Gaillardia, and worth bearing mind that it is a native. Here's a solo Gaillardia x grandiflora.
[Nikon D300, 200mm f/4 macro, 5 seconds at f/36 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Milkweed, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Briefly noted: I found these grounded milkweed seeds along the Hidden Valley Trail near Limantour on Point Reyes.
[Nikon D300, 105mm f/2.8 macro (157.5mm in 35mm terms), three combined captures with different exposure times (1/4 of a second, 1/2 a second, and 1 second), all captures at f/36 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]

Chins, photo by Harold Davis.
At the pediatrician yesterday, Katie Rose weighed in at nine pounds and seven ounces. This is up a pound since her last visit two weeks ago. Katie Rose is gaining roughly an ounce a day. She is definitely a chunk, amazing considering that she started out so tiny.
Stars and Milky Way
Stars and Milky Way, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Briefly noted: This is a nine and one half minute exposure from the top of Half Dome looking southwest across Yosemite Park, taken in June 2007. When I was there the Milky Way, shown in this photo as a pleasing blur, was crisp and sharp, but the time exposure and the motion of the heavens rendered it soft focus. The orange light is from the west and is ambient light from the cities of California's central valley (probably mostly Fresno).
I used this previously unprocessed photo as a demo of RAW conversion the first night of my recent workshop.
[Nikon D200, 12-24mm zoom lens at 12mm (18mm in 35mm terms), 970 seconds at f/4 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]
Point Reyes Night Photography Workshop
Point Reyes Trawler, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Even though thick fog blanketed the night skies, I think the night photography workshop I taught this past weekend on Point Reyes was a success. The weather, of course, is not a tame lion—and I was amazed at the creative responses to the weather conditions, the talent of the workshop participants, and that no two photographers came up with the same image, even when photographing in near proximity. What a great group of people!
On Saturday evening we went to photograph the Point Reyes trawler behind the Inverness general store. I was hoping for another shot of the star trails around Polaris by pointing my camera directly at due north behind the boat (this time I would have tried statistical stacking as in Night Vortex). But obviously the cloud cover ruled out star trails.
David, who helped us experiment with light painting at a previous night photo workshop, crawled onto the trawler. The assembled photographers shouted directions and encouragements as he light painted the interior of the boat cabin.
Next day, I was pleased and surprised at the level of interest in post-processing these photos. I used this image as a case study. The original RAW file was dark with a left-side histogram that indicated underexposure. A common reponse: "You got this image from…that!" Of course, to see the original and the way I processed it, you needed to be at the workshop.
[Nikon D300, 12-24mm zoom lens at 12mm (18mm in 35mm terms), 100 seconds at f/5.6 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.]

Involuntary Racism !
(Via Peoples Cube) The Department of Social Justice is contemplating several charges against the racist George Zimmerman for his cold-blooded murder of the post-infant and minority representative Trayvon Martin.Evidence compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Citizens has found Zimmerman to be guilty of at least several major civil rights-related crimes.
Having found no sign of racism in Zimmerman's background, prosecutors plan to file charges of Involuntary Racism in the Commission of a Hate Crime, punishable by up to 20 years of labor in a correctional facility. Party officials believe this is the most appropriate charge based on the FBIC's report. Continue reading →
You know, I don't believe being black means anything more than a white person getting a sun tan or being yellow means any more than a white person painting themselves yellow. But, I do believe in cultural norms that are transmitted within certain societies. I believe Palestinians have certain cultural beliefs that are common to that group of people.
I believe that the differences between separate cultures should be appreciated, accepted, and protected. My belief is supported by my religion through the story of the tower of Babel in the old testament. Varieties of groups of people are identified by group throughout the bible and these groups are identified as good or bad.
Blacks in America are a culture in and of themselves. They are different than the black culture in South Sudan, North Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Haiti, etc.
While the black culture in America has individuals who are exceptions to the rule, is the black culture in America good or bad? What do Mexicans, Chinese, Russians, Indians (who are black), white Americans, and even Black Africans from Zimbabwe think of the American black culture? Hummm…. Is the American black culture universally disdained?

WASHINGTON — Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain have been asked by President Barack Obama to travel to Egypt next week to urge the military to move ahead on new elections, the senators said Tuesday.
Egypt has been roiled by deadly protests since President Mohammed Morsi was toppled in a military coup on July 3, developments that have threatened the $1.5 billion in annual U.S. military and economic aid to the Arab world's most populous country. Responding to reporters' questions Tuesday about an attempt to cut off the aid, Graham offered up word that Obama has sought the help of the two lawmakers. Continue reading →
Report: Congressional Investigators Interview "Dozens" Of Benghazi Witnesses, Including USMC Colonel George Bristol…
HatTip WeaselZippers - WASHINGTON DC - In recent weeks, members of the House and Senate and their staffers have held two classified hearings on the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya; conducted more than 25 hours of formal, transcribed interviews with witnesses; and spoken informally with several dozen additional witnesses, including some who are being called "whistleblowers."
Among those who have recently spoken to Congress is Marine Corps Col. George Bristol who was in the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) chain of command on Sept. 11. Earlier this month, CBS News reported that the Pentagon declined Republican congressional requests to produce Bristol for interviews. At the time, the Pentagon said Bristol had retired and that they "cannot compel retired members to testify before Congress."

How Do You Insure You Never Exceed The Debt Ceiling? Just Stop Tracking It… Prog Logic #101
When reality is in direct conflict with your ideology or beliefs, just do what the progs do – ignore it.
CNS NEWS - According to the Daily Treasury Statement for July 26, which the Treasury released this afternoon, the federal debt has been stuck at exactly $16,699,396,000,000.00 for 70 straight days.
That is approximately $25 million below the legal limit of $16,699,421,095,673.60 that Congress has imposed on the debt.
The portion of the federal debt subject to the legal limit set by Congress first hit $16,699,396,000,000.00 at the close of business on May 17. At the close of every business day since then, it has also been $16,699,396,000,000.00, according to the official accounting published by the Treasury Department.

It is now clear that the Russians are in violation of major arms control treaties and that the current Administration is ignoring these violations. The current proposal will create major nuclear disparity in Russia's favor and leave the U.S. vulnerable to Russian air and missile defense. The Administration reportedly intends to circumvent congressional approval — a clear indication of how bad they expect the outcome to be.

Top 10 tech breakthroughs of 2011
- By Sebastian Anthony on December 20, 2011 at 11:17 am
- Comment
Silicon chips
And finally we come to what has been the lifeblood of technology for the last 40 years: silicon chips. 2011 wasn't a standout year for semiconductor technology in general, but that's not to say that a few big changes didn't occur. Intel finally moved away from 2D transistor (MOSFET) designs to 3D "Tri-gate" FinFET chips, summarily leaving TMSC and GlobalFoundries in its wake. IBM on the other hand is looking at 3D chips of another variety entirely: It wants to stack multiple dies on top of each other with a 3M-made glue.
2011 also saw a lot of movement in the magnetologic arena. Magnetic RAM (MRAM), which is as fast as DRAM but non-volatile, is coming of age — and a separate discovery hints that MRAM could also harvest waste heat in your computer. Graphene magnetologic gates combine elements of MRAM and the transistor to create, in effect, logic blocks that are their own little two-bit computers.

On my 2nd bottle and loving it because it's one of the few formulas that removes my Shiseido mascara base and waterproof mascaras without leaving a trace! My new HG, replacing Clinique Take The Day Off. ***UPDATE June 2007: Is actually quite oily and stingy. I'd say it's still better than many other removers for waterproof mascara. I thought it removed everything until I found an even better brand!

I have tried about five other eye makeup removers over the years and I just keep coming back to this one. Unlike the others I've tried, it doesn't sting, it doesn't make my eyes itch, and it removes my mascara quickly and thoroughly. I use a q-tip and gently wipe my eyelashes clean. I wouldn't use it on the rest of my face because of the oil content, but my eyes love it.

Easy and fast remover that dissolves my eyemakeup and mascara in no time. It's gentle and does not sting my eyes which is always a plus. And it's reasonably priced too.

Marcelle Gentle Make-up Remover for Sensitive Eyes is one of those oil and water formulas you need to shake to activate. It is enriched with green tea and cucumber extracts, hypo-allergenic, perfume free, ophthalmologist tested and suitable for contact lens wearers. This is the dual-phase eye makeup remover I buy the most and trust the most because it is non-drying, non-irritating, non-stinging and dissolves with minimal effort on my part all traces of eye makeup gently, quickly and effectively, even multiple layers of the most stubborn formulas. No need for rubbing or tugging at the delicate skin in the eye area, just a few gentle pats with a saturated cotton pad, and then it rinses off clean. At about $12 (Canadian) for a 150 ml bottle every so often offered at a lower price, I find it quite affordable. The packaging is okay: a round see-though blue plastic bottle with rounded shoulders and a large, smooth, easy to twist (Thank you, Marcelle!) white plastic cap. Although the bottle is not that easy to tip over, I wish the opening wasn't so wide. Other than that, this is HG material in the eye makeup remover category, very similar to the revered Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover minus the fragrance and the ridiculous price, on a par with my newly discovered Yves Rocher Express Cleanser for Sensitive Eyes with Cornflower minus the color.

This is a pretty good eye make-up remover...nothing overly WOW about it...it doesn't burn my eyes, so that's a plus...I'd probably buy this again although I'm always on the search for something "better"...

Not the best for sure. I am not pleased with this eyemake up remover and will not purchase again. It looks like I get all my make up off at night but each morning I have little racoon eyes - not attractive. Best to date that I have used is Merle Norman Dual Action Eye Make up Remover. The MN does cost more (about $21 Can.) but is worth every penny as it removes ALL eye make up. I wear a waterproof cream liner and it is totally removed easily with my usual MN. Again trying the cheaper product didn't work but it sure is great when they do - I guess that is why we keep trying them.

I'm kind of on the fence over this one. It does remove eye makeup decently well but isn't outstanding. I find it takes a while to dissolve anything and some rubbing is needed to get everything off. It also leaves an oily residue and does sting if you get it in your eyes. Maybe this works better on waterproof mascara? I dunno. Price is good at around $12 Canadian for a large bottle and it frequently goes on sale as well.

I was looking for an inexpensive eye makeup remover. I had tried the L'Oreal one, and I hated it. I tried the Life brand Cucumber eye-makeup remover cream, but that one dried my skin out, was hard to use, and stung.
Finally! Something that works very well (my makeup slipped off), leaves my eye area soft and not irritated, and does not sting! Used with the Shiseido Facial Cotton, it is the best remover I have ever tried. I will be repurchasing.

This is a great make-up remover which is perfect for my sensitive/dry eyes. I have gotten this product in my eyes (can't be helped) with no reaction at all. It does feel oily/greasy, but this disappears quickly and does not seem to encourage more acne (I have mostly oily skin which still gets occasional acne). However, usually I remove the make-up first, and then use a skin cleanser. It has no problems completely removing my mascara (usually I only wear mascara and face powder to work). I don't find traces of mascara under, or in my eyes in the morning, as I have with other removers. I also find that it does not take alot of this product to remove mascara, however I do not use waterproof mascara. All I use is a round cotton make-up pad blotted around four times with the remover and use the one pad for both sides. For now this is my HG.

If both parties are in mutual agreement that their marriage is irreconcilable and needs to be dissolved, they can apply for an uncontested divorce. This allows them to skip the court process and work out their own divorce amicably, without a courtroom battle.
In this type of divorce, the parties agree to the grounds for divorce and often other elements of the divorce as well. When it comes to deciding factors such as child custody and
maintenance, there is typically some common ground of both parties. A divorce lawyer from Worsham Law Firm can help you make sure that each party's rights are upheld and that laws are followed. A divorce attorney can also provide you with advice and support prior to signing important legal documents.
One of the best parts about an uncontested divorce is that there is no need for court hearings. This kind of divorce can also be significantly less expensive because there are fewer arguments and, therefore, the court does not have to be involved. Uncontested divorces tend to be less hostile, which can lead to a smooth and an agreeable outcome. The proceedings typically move much quicker than a contested divorce. Less time will be spent filling out paperwork, and mutual agreements can be made.
In order to pursue an uncontested divorce, the couple must meet specific requirements that can be further explained by a Springfield, MO divorce lawyer Uncontested divorce is not available in every jurisdiction, so it helps to consult an attorney. Issues of property distribution and criminal offenses do not have to be discussed because they are not subject to these proceedings. After final decisions have been made on specific elements of the divorce, a final decree of divorce can be signed by a judge.
This process can help you avoid courtrooms and prevent you from having important life decisions made by a third party. The firm offers their services to those seeking uncontested divorce so the process can proceed as smoothly as possible.

Chef Hugh backs town's hub project
Posted: September 08, 2012|
Hundreds of people yesterday joined celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for a "big picture" opportunity as the campaign to make an old dairy into a community hub gathered pace.
Mr Fearnley-Whittingstall, who is based at Axminster in East Devon, has become the fifth high-profile patron of the Atmos Totnes project.
He said: "This is fantastic, to come down here this morning and see the crowd and see the amazing potential of this site is so great.
"Totnes has already done so much, set such a blazing trail for those who are interested in finding new heart in their community, a new heart that's committed to a better way of living, and a more sustainable way of living, and if we could pull this project off, it would just be a brilliant example for the rest of Britain of what's possible at a community level."
Atmos Totnes wants to transform the former Dairy Crest site into a complex with affordable housing alongside business units.

The Top Ten Dishes of 2008 - #3: Foie Gras at Araka
Categories: Restaurant News & Reviews
The foie gras' buttery richness and silky texture, here given a mild crunch by a pistachio crust, are paramount. Black-pepper honey provides both the sweet note you often want with foie gras as well as mild heat. Juicy grapefruit brightens the dish and provides a textural counterpoint, bursting in your mouth while the foie gras seems to melt. Now, I like foie gras -- a lot -- but only as an occasional indulgence. I never crave it. Yet in the days following my meal at Araka, that's exactly what happened: I craved foie gras.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Below are quotes from the Predators after their 3-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Predators coach Barry Trotz
On Columbus' desperation level
"I didn't like our response, but it was probably understandable a little bit. There's a desperation level, and it has been Columbus' way to find a way. They had a lot of energy in the building cheering them on and pushing them. They have a good, strong group there. I hope they get into the playoffs, because they'll be a dangerous team if they get in."
On goaltender Chris Mason
"He's as good a pro player you're going to find, when you talk about a pro on and off the ice. I think he has a great work ethic, I think he has some hockey in the future, as a player, a development coach, or goalie coach. I think he's going to be in the game. He's a bright young guy who has a tremendous work ethic. It has been a pleasure with him all the times we've had him."
Forward Mike Fisher
On goaltender Chris Mason
"He was outstanding, you could tell with a couple of games, he could feel the rhythm. You could tell he was feeling well and he kept us in that game for a long time. It was good to see him play real well for us and was one of our best players."
Goaltender Chris Mason
On the Blue Jackets' comeback
"You don't like losing, but sometimes you play hard and you end up losing games. You saw a desperate team there. That's the way they've been playing all year. They never give up. They scrap and claw, they threw everything at us in the third period and won the game. They did their part."

Burnard: A tale of two budgetsWritten by Don Burnard | | email@example.com
This week, two budgets were introduced in Congress. The Congressional Progressive Caucus introduced its "Back to Work" budget, and Republican economic mouthpiece Paul Ryan introduced his "Path to Prosperity" budget — for the third year in a row — to address the "huge deficit" problem the GOP has buffaloed much of the media into thinking is the premier problem America faces.
In actuality, many real economists — that is, people whose jobs are studying economics for their entire working lives as opposed to sucking the public teat for their entire working lives — think this is pure bunk. Personally, I'm more inclined to give credence to those who have won Nobel Prizes in the field. Much of this is the standard Republican ploy of creating a huge scare tactic to try to push through the agenda they have been trying to foist on the American public for the past 30 years, even though it has been proven wrong and, as recently as last year, overwhelmingly rejected by voters.
Their rigid adherence to failed dogma rather than even attempting to address the real underlying problems facing the country is unbelievable. To the Ryan group, there might as well have not been an election. They refuse to acknowledge that their approach is flawed. To them, there is no problem that can't be fixed by a tax cut for the wealthy. They've completely perverted the term "entitlement" to try to make it seem like a dirty word.
Merriam-Webster says an entitlement is "a right to benefits specified especially by law or contract." Notice the word "right." These are programs that we have the right to, in most cases because we have paid for those rights throughout our working lives. In the case of Social Security, we've paid in more than most of us will ever use, and it doesn't add a dime to the deficit! If there is to be a future shortfall, it could be easily addressed by raising the cap from $110,000 to $250,000 and voilá!, solvent until 2075! But we couldn't possibly burden the upper crust with such a thing.
The Medicare/Medicaid problem could be addressed in any number of ways. The obvious fix would be a single-payer health care program like most of the developed world has, but we couldn't put all those private insurance CEOs in a bind. The Ryan budget did claim it would "balance the budget" in 10 years, which is about the only new claim from the previous iterations. Alas, he leaves out the pertinent details on exactly how that would happen. Of his cuts, 68 percent would directly affect the middle class, elderly and poor. His plan would voucherize Medicare within 10 years, thus destroying the most efficient program in government and health care history, which would directly impact the elderly. Other domestic services slated for the chopping block include education, research and development, infant nutrition, workplace safety, border patrol, food and drug safety, Head Start, etc., to a degree not seen before. Other mandatory programs being slashed include Pell Grants, food stamps, school lunches, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit and supplementary support for the aged and disabled poor.
In other words, it falls mainly on those who can least afford it. The rich, meanwhile, would benefit from the reduction of tax rates from 6 percdent to 2 percent, and the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 25 percent. Coupled with the fact that they got 121 percent of income growth during the Great Recession, and corporate profits are at an all-time high, it doesn't seem to make sense to give them these new bonuses at the expense of the rest of us. More smoke and mirrors.
Finally, this week Speaker of the House, John Boehner actually admitted in an interview with Martha Raddatz, "We do not have an immediate debt crisis. But we all know that we have one looming. And we have one looming because we have entitlement programs that are not sustainable in their current form. They're gonna go bankrupt. Washington has a responsibility — to our seniors and near seniors — that we firm these programs up so that they're there for the long term. Because if we don't do it, not only will they not get benefits, we will have a debt crisis right around the corner. We have time to solve our problems, but we need to do it now."
Next up — do we really have a debt crisis? Stay tuned.

These materials are particularly rich for immigrant groups that originated in eastern, central, and southern Europe and the Near East—referred to historically as the "new immigrants"—who came to this country during the migration wave that gained momentum in the 1880s and peaked in the first decades of the 20th century. The Center also documents the work of institutions and individuals concerned with service to and programs for immigrants, including the most recent newcomers from throughout the world.
The IHRC's collections include printed, manuscript, and audio-visual materials of national and local origin. The print collection consists of 45,000 books and pamphlets, more than 3,500 serial titles and over 900 newspaper titles. Most of these publications are the products of ethnic presses in the United States and Canada from the late nineteenth century to the present; but there are also many academic and popular works from university and commercial publishers. The manuscript holdings consist of ca. 1,400 collections occupying over 11,000 linear feet. Audio-visual materials consist of small, but rapidly growing, files of phonograph records, photographs, and oral history tape recordings.
Over the years, efforts have been made to collect materials reflecting as fully as possible the social, political, religious, and cultural characteristics of immigrant groups. Manuscripts collections, for example, include archives of ethnic fraternal associations, churches, publishing houses, musical and theatrical societies, political and labor associations, and consumer cooperatives, as well as papers of ethnic community leaders and ordinary individuals/families. These primary sources are complemented by a library composed predominantly of publications of ethnic presses, including novels and poetry, histories and biographies, religious and political works. The Center's extensive collection of newspapers and serials, covering a wide diversity of perspectives, constitutes a fundamental and often used source for researchers.
Through the records of service agencies, publishers, and research institutions, the IHRC has in recent years been acquiring significant sources documenting the migration and acculturation of immigrants and refugees in the post-1965 era. Among these materials are the records of Immigration & Refugee Services of America (and its affiliate U.S. Committee for Refugees), records of International Institutes in several U.S. cities, the research library and program files of the University of Minnesota's pioneering Center for Refugee Studies, and the primary resource documentation accumulated by the publishers of Interpreter Releases, the nation's leading digest of immigration policy and law.
The Center has also obtained significant collections of reformatted material made available commercially or from other institutions. These include INS subject files on Asian exclusion, Mexican immigration, and prostitution and "white slavery." Increasingly, such sources are being commercially distributed in electronic form, and the IHRC (in cooperation with the UM Libraries) obtained a subscription to the Alexander Street Press digital collection "North American Immigrant Diaries, Letters, and Oral Histories." Collections such as this now provide the opportunity for the IHRC to dramatically extend the reach of its collections to UM students, faculty, and outside visitors exploring a wide array of topics, cultures, and time periods.

I made the recipe exactly as it stated in the instructions. The only thing I did different is I used Stove Top Stuffing and Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes. We really enjoyed the meal and the flavor was great. Easy meal to make. We would certainly make it again.
This was a great recipe for using up the Thanksgiving left overs. I altered it a hair....only a hair. I layered everything and poured a little cream of mushroom soup and gravy between the layers. Bottom to top was turkey, green bean casserole , stuffing and topped with mashed potatoes. I poured the remaining soup over the potatoes then sprinkled french fried onion rings on top. I baked it for about 40 -50 minutes at 350..(.the length of time depends on how much food you have to heat). But it was a hit and everyone loved it even the kids!! Thanks!!

I was a little skeptical of this recipe. I could not find the Roasted Garlic Recipe Starters....so I used the Mushroom one and sauteed some garlic. This was really good and a great way to use up most of my leftovers! I didn't have enough stuffing leftover, so I made a quick batch. A friend of mine was in the neighborhood and stopped by with her daughter. They both raved about it and by the end of the night, there was nothing left!
Yay thanksgiving leftovers casserole!!!
I substituted mushroom soup for the Recipe Starter, which I couldn't find at the store. I also used leftover chicken instead of turkey. It was easy to make, and we all loved it.
My family loved this! I couldn't find the cooking sauce so I used cooking stock. Also, I used peas instead of mixed veggies. Will keep this in my recipe box for sure!
I made the recipe just as written, and my husband LOVED it. Great way to use up all of the leftovers!
Had it the day after Thanksgiving with our leftovers. I liked it better than our Thanksgiving dinner!
