Salemites have gone to a very dark place lately. There's a lot of betrayal and unhappiness going around. Viewers are confessing to feeling as though there's not a lot to tune in for right now, even with Kristen's return, but they can't deny that there is still a lot to be intrigued by...
Eric's name is finally cleared. Yay?
Eric and Nicole's story is working many viewers' last nerve. Eric flew all the way to Italy in order to clear his name so he could become a priest again. Nicole, knowing that he can't stand her, changed seats with another passenger in order to sit next to him. Why does she do this to herself? To him? It's like she's begging to be mistreated. And that Eric hates Nic Nic yet being in close proximity to her rockin' bod makes him horny… Oy. What a mess. And that was just the flight to Rome. The Cardinal offered to make him a priest again but he refused. He refused! After all this time, the moaning and groaning, whining and praying, he decided he's not good enough because he's part human. He blamed Nicole – sure it's partially her fault but he's so narrow-minded that he couldn't even think of serving God in another manner! Gah! These two need to retreat to their corners and give each other space for all our sakes! Soon, Eric will probably realize he's still in love with Nicole.
Vote in our "Days" poll to let us know what comes next for Eric.
Crocodile tears.
Jordan got a double whammy this week when Sami gloated about Rafe doing Kate behind her back, but then Kate made things worse by butting in while Jordan was confronting Rafe about it. Still, with all of that I felt nothing for either party or this storyline which is still as lifeless and dull as Jordan's character. The most exciting part of this story to date was Kate mocking Jordan for being unable to express an emotion, something we were all thinking. And Rafe's spent the better part of what feels like two weeks trying to explain how he got himself into Kate's bed when Jordan has stated pretty firmly that she has no interest in hearing the details. As Jordan said, it doesn't matter how he got there, the result is still the same! The most bizarre part of this story was that Sami actually seemed to think Rafe wanted her back.
How random was it to have a scene with Clyde and Jeremiah on a park bench discussing characters we've never heard of and don't care about? What in tarnation, to use a phrase we're sure has rolled off Clyde's tongue a time or two, was the point of that conversation? To show Clyde is kind to other people's kids? The only thing that could save this story is if Jordan and Ben turned out to be little bastards and Clyde's the good guy.
Pure and perfect Abigail.
Abigail poops butterflies and rainbows and magically, she can have sex with anyone's man in Salem and end up on top. Figuratively, mind you. Even her new beau Ben never had much of a reaction to Miss. Perfect banging Samanther's fiancé. Then again it's Ben. He's Jordan's sister and she doesn't react to much of anything with passion either. I'd say it was a family trait but then Ben turned into a psycho when he heard Rafe cheated on his sister, and beat on Rafe's head. And he says he's nothing like Clyde?
Another one.
JJ went after Sami for hurting his big sister which was understandable but looked lame. It was easy to side with Sami who called Abby and JJ "pampered little brats." She called him out on getting out of a few jams with the good Horton name and money. Sami made a point but didn't EJ do the same thing for Sami when she killed Bernardi and again when she threw Nick into the river? She's as pampered as JJ!
Last week's Deconstructing "DOOL," I talked about how revenge was taken to a pretty dark place when Sami blackmailed her own flesh and blood, Aunt "don't ever call me that again" Kayla. Sami went further than we ever thought she could by allowing Adrienne to think Kayla and Justin got it on when nothing of the sort happened. It really was reprehensible. But...for Sami it was a long shot to get someone – anyone – to side with her and see how empty and wretched she must be feeling. She should talk to Roman. He knows something about that. The bizarre part is that Adrienne called Will of all people to tell him all about the lie and Sami's blackmail of her Aunt Kayla. It made no sense and felt as if it was thrown in there in order to force Will's hand.
Slice of life.
It's been a lot of fun watching Sami and Kate living together, dining together, and working side by side. It's something I can't recall any other soap doing, having two powerful women as roomies, especially ones with such a rich history. I'm not sure whether or not Sami should forgive EJ – each gave good arguments for both sides. The most interesting part of this story this week was EJ's deal with Victor and his return to the drug scene. What's up EJ's sleeve?!
Stop treating your husband like a child.
Seriously? Sonny went to Victor behind Will's back to get him a job and then when it didn't go the way he wanted, he asked Victor to step in. Not good. Victor said it all when he asked, "Did you marry this man or adopt him?" Best line of the week, hands down. Not that we're disputing that Sonny's right. What Will's doing is deplorable and unforgiveable yet...very intriguing. What does this mean for this character's future?
Theresa visited Brady at home and flashed back seven hundred and thirteen times to hitting John. The guilt is hitting her almost as hard as Brady used to hit the bottle. Now that Eve knows she can't get Daniel, she's scouting out her sister's husband, hoping she'll have a crack at his millions once the annulment goes through. Gross, but convenient timing since if done right, this could force viewers to care for Theresa.
That's all I've got for this week. Feel free to leave a comment or two with your own thoughts and have a great weekend.
Check out this week's interview with Lauren Koslow. A taste: "The times that we really have seen her fall in love, I think we got to see another side of Kate; to see that more vulnerable side and maybe a little bit of the person she was before she discovered the toughness of life. I love being able to do both of them, and as a matter of fact we're moving into an area where we might be doing that again."
Best lines of the week:
Kristen, "Daniel I don't do jail."
Sami, "No wonder you think that Abby should skate. My God the two of you are just pampered little brats."
Victor, "Did you marry this man or adopt him?"
Kate to Jordan, "I'm glad you can express an emotion."

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Pro knife sharpeners in Santa Monica?
I decided to give Magnus a try. He came over to our house and I give him 4 Global knives (2 long - Chef's, 2 short - paring). He dropped them off 2 hours later, clean and sharp! It was $32 total. He is super passionate and knowledgeable about knives, and the the price and convenience was amazing.

Pro knife sharpeners in Santa Monica?
Has anyone tried Magnus Pettersson Hand Knife Sharpening in Santa Monica? I was looking up Japanese Knife Imports based on this thread and came across Magnus Petterson's blog. Doesn't look like there is a shop, just free pick up and drop off. Prices seem closer to Ross than JKI.

i've tried a couple times now to bake chicken wings, and haven't been able to get good results. It's frustrating, because I love the wings off a simple baked whole chicken (450 degrees, trussed, salted, about 50 minutes). When i do the whole chicken, the wings come out golden brown, and crispy.
I wanted to get the same result with just wings, so I put them on a baking sheet, cooked for about 40 minutes, and it they really just seemed to stew in their own fat, and never got crispy. So i tried again, putting the wings on a rack in a roasting pan so the fat could drain. This time they came out somewhat crispy, but more of an unappetizing fleshy brown than a golden brown. Maybe they just need more time? Next time I'll try tossing them in baking soda as recommend earlier in the thread, but I'm curious why they cook so differently than the whole chicken. I was expecting them to be even more crispy since they weren't attached to main mass of the chicken.

attention pho aficionados....good pho in the south bay...anyone?
I was down in the south bay on a sunday, and ended up at Pho Ever (a lot of other places seemed to be closed). It really exceeded my expectations - the pho broth was complex (not one note and overpowered by anise like some places). We also got a pork broken rice plate which was good (com dia?). I think it is a good Westminster worthy alternative.

I gave Monta a try for dinner on Monday and it was really good. I had the tonkotsu and the broth was delicious. The chashu was also amazingly tender and flavorful. I had them add mustard greens which like everything else brought a surprising amount of flavor. I live in Los Angeles and think it's as good as any of the ramen houses here. Thanks for the recommendation!!
Best place for loose leaf tea?
If you happen to be in the south bay, try Tea Habitat which is in the mall at the top of the hill in PV. Nice mom & pop Chinese tea place. http://www.teahabitat.com/

Whats your favorite Tea Cafe? Why?
Green Tea Terrace in Westwood - good quality Japanese green tea that is brewed carefully (most of the time). Never tried the boba there, but for traditional green tea, it is great.
Sep 21, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
If you sit at a table for dinner, you don't have to order Omakase, you can dine a la carte. The dinner at Echigo (Omakkase, or a la carte) is now substantially better than what you get for the lunch special. I don't think it was always the case though. The size and quality of the lunch special has gone down over the last couple years.

Zankou today: dry, bland chicken
Was the chicken at Zankou ever really great? I love it, but it has always been about the garlic sauce.

Bay Cities vs. Claro's Italian Sandwich
I'm surprised people are complaining about the meat - last time I was there I ordered a spicy salami w/works, and ended up peeling about half the meat because it was too much. Everyone has their own bread preference, and there is no right answer, but objectively, the bread at bay cities has a thin but crunchy crust, and is definitely chewy in the middle. I think it is perfect for sandwiches.
Claro's sounds awesome, but not really an option for mostpeople on the westside to got to Arcadia or Tustin to grab lunch. Maybe a good stop next time on the way to Vegas. :)
In need of recommendations for Santa Monica Farmer's Market
Are you sure it is accurate to say a small percentage? I haven't counted but it feels like a majority are organic - almost everything west of the promenade.
Persian Restaurants in the South Bay
The only one I know of is Seaside Palace in Torrance, on the corner of Sepulveda and Hawthorne. I haven't eating there in 5+ years (call to make sure it is still open), but back in the day it wasn't quite as good as some of the best westside Persian places, but pretty close.
Beer Garden / Outdoor Drinking in LA?
Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas has one of the biggest patios I can think of. It is a great place for a cold beer on a hot night (food is pretty weak). Speaking of Cantina's, Baja Cantina in MDR/Venice also has a nice patio.
Jul 01, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
The Brentwood/San Vicente location was open today. Unfortunately the parking lot was blocked of for construction. Still looked to be a line out the door.
Jun 18, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
It's a really pleasant indoor/outdoor space as well. It is really a great package of food/space/value. The thing they need to work on is the ordering process which can get chaotic as it gets crowded. You end up ordering multiple times to multiple people before you are done.
Jun 15, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
It looks like the one on San Vicente is about to open - I drove past this evening and they pulled the paper covering off the door and windows. It looked like there may just be some cleanup work remaining.
Jun 14, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
Finally did the Sabor thing ...
At Sabor do you order at the counter, or is it a sit down place?
Jun 11, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
I agree that high alcohol and low acidity are bad trends, but a sweetness in an acidic wine can really work towards a good food pairing, as well as balancing its own acidity.
Who has the most tart yogurt? That's what stands out to me and I like the most about Pinkberry.
May 07, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
Where in Brentwood are they opening?
Apr 25, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
I think their hangar steak is one of the best beef dishes in LA. The sweet sauce with the wasabi relish is a great combo.
Apr 24, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
They are some of the best looking cupcakes, but I think they are overly sweet, and maybe a little light on salt.
Apr 20, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
Bay Cities Deli- bad attitude of the managmt
You have to ask for "the works" to get the pepper concoction (which I think is one of the best parts of the sandwich), so you just need to remember not to ask for it unless you want it. The second part (preferential treatment) is indefensible, but I've been going for a while and never seen it.
Apr 15, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
montana of santa monica: is there a best?
I think Vincenzo is often overlooked when people talk about Montana. Definitely a cut above Rosti (which I like for a quick bite) and not as cramped as Locanda Postofino. If you aren't totally locked into Mpontana, it is only 3 blocks down 11th St to Wilshire where you could try Rustic Canyon.
Apr 10, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
PHX hound visiting Santa Monica
Do make sure to try Cora's, which is just a block or south from your hotel, for breakfast or lunch. Simple food with great ingredients.
Mar 31, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
I understand it isn't the classiest expereince - it is a casual place, but I don't think that a waxpaper cup is going to ruin, or even affect the flavor. Oversteeping or overheating has a much bigger effect, and they tend to be good about that.
Feb 25, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
Best Asian tea shops in Los Angeles?
I've had the highest grade green Oolong from Ten Ren, which was really good, but you can get better for about half the price online. My favorite is this seller in Taiwan:
Jan 18, 2007MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
I really like Susiecakes. The cupcakes taste much better than Sprinkles, which I find sickeningly sweet and bland. Sprinkles' cupcakes do look beautiful, but the taste never lives up to the look. Susiecakes has a much more home made look and taste. I wouldn't drive 24 miles for one, but a great addition to the westside.
Dec 16, 2006MrShoop in Los Angeles Area
Yakitoriya is really good, if a little expensive. I like the ground chicken bowl/quail egg, but the skewers are where it really shines. All sorts of yummy chicken parts. They used to do chicken sashimi, but I didn't see it there the last few times I ate there.

meet stylists: lauren lozano-ziol and mary collins
To create an eclectic look in her own home, CB2's Senior Director of Marketing worked with Mary Collins to mix modern with vintage—bonus is she also met Lauren Lozano-Ziol!What Alicia found most exciting about working with them—both personally and professionally—is how they took eclectic to a new level. By mixing sleek modern drinkware with cut crystal and bright orange plates with antique China plates—not to mention placing funhouse mirrors and gold pig bookends above a craftsman-style fireplace—it's fun for us to see our modern furnishings in fresh and different ways than we typically feature as they get mixed in with very personal, even heirloom items. For this shoot, Mary and Lauren hand-picked CB2 products that not only spoke to them, but that they were already recommending to their clients. Thank you Mary for inviting us into your home for this photo shoot—we're thrilled we had the opportunity to work with you and Lauren!
Lauren Lozano-Ziol has been practicing residential interior design for 14 years and has received degrees in interior design and art history. Her education, her passion for travel, and experience of living abroad have inspired her love of mixing old and new design elements—along with the launch of her budding furniture line.
To create classic, timeless spaces, she blends traditional elements with clean lines, refined materials, and sophisticated colors. All my clients have different needs according to Lauren, and her portfolio reflects this versatility.
She feels like she can accommodate a vast range of styles from modern to traditional. Anything from urban residences to casual weekend retreats. Lauren has been Featured in Elle Decor, Chicago Home & Garden, NBC's Open House and I4DESIGN magazines.

meet us: adam pearson
Meet Adam Pearson, a professional food stylist based near our photo shoot in LA and Palm Springs. He's the creative genius of our Mexican Fiesta and his recipes will be featured throughout the season.
Who taught you to cook?
Growing up in southern California, my dad spent a lot of time with me grilling outside. He also taught me how to make biscuits and sausage gravy when I was about 8. The gravy recipe is so easy its ingrained in my memory—and those moments became more special as our family split up.
Has 'California cuisine' influenced you?
I was exposed to a lot of different, exotic cultures and cuisines at a young age—ironically none from my own family. I took bits and pieces from friends' homes and what they were cooking, and now as an adult they finally make sense when I mix them together in the kitchen.
What's your favorite ingredient to cook with?
Spices. I love the flavor of ethnic foods but right now I'm obsessed with Korean. It's warm, spicy, filling—very much like comfort food. I'm working with an assistant who goes to the Korean market with me, translates the staples, shares how they can be mixed—this opened a door to experimenting with Korean cuisine.
Got any food styling secrets you can share?
Instead of following a recipe, I'll start by 'deconstructing' it—meaning I'll cook ingredients so each looks its best. As for plating, I like them to look approachable…a little messy…perfectly imperfect.
Also, tools are my thing. I'm the tool kid. I'd be lost without a blow torch…a mandolin…but the most important tools are a sense of confidence and your hands. It's so true that experience enhances your senses. The first food stylist I apprenticed under—all he needed was his fingers and spit.
Where do you find inspiration?
My partner Matt and I, we travel a lot and always bring something back that's food related. Our first stop is usually a grocery store for local ingredients—like chick pea flour from Nice, France. Matt was recently in Singapore and brought back a suitcase and a half—our pantry is filled with international foodstuffs.
We like to shop for one-off serving dishes, special baking dishes made for indigenous recipes…in Spain we found local pottery shops with hand-made, lovely cazuelas which are very useful in preparing Spanish recipes.
And wherever we are, we're dissecting and cataloging what was prepared for us. In Buenos Aires we had compound butters with fresh bread that was to die for! Like English muffins with pistachio butter—so easy to do at home.
What do you do for fun?
Matt publishes mattbites.com, and we often work on it together, so recipes, food styling and photography are a huge part of both our lives. There's no way around bringing our work home with us—especially since his studio is part of the house.
Often one of us is on a shoot out of town, so when we're both home we make lots of trips to farmer's markets. It's almost a cliche but we get what's local and seasonal—we're spoiled being in southern California where we get fresh vegetables all year. We go without a menu in mind, check out what looks good, and make things up as we go along.
Great looking plates, platters, and serving utensils add another layer. Dinner in our house is usually a small production and we love rotating pieces from our prop studio with our everyday slip porcelain from Australia. And we get just about every food magazine out there so—there may be a fine line between passion and addiction, but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of free time for anything but food.
one of a finds: sake set
The heaven and earth sake set is the vision of an emerging Chinese design collective, Spin.
In their studio just outside Shanghai, seven young designers honor the 13th Century Yuan Dynasty porcelain-making traditions of the town of Jingdezhen in stunning pieces that speak to modern times.
At the same time, they are reviving the ancient qualities of Jingdezhen porcelain: white as jade, thin as paper, clear as glass, sweet-sounding as a chime. Using only the finest Kaolin clay, natural drying techniques and authentic Jingdezhen glazes.
Toast the Chinese New Year 4708—the year of the rabbit, or hare, starts tomorrow.

Tax Exempt and Government Entities
This IRM provides an overview of the systems available for processing Employee Plans (EP) determination letter applications.
The guidance in this IRM applies to all EP employees and Cincinnati Service Processing Center (CSPC) employees that process determination letter (DL) applications.
DLs may be requested using the following forms:
Form Revision Date Form 5300, Application for Determination for Employee Benefit Plan. December 2013 Form 5307, Application for Determination for Adopters of Modified Volume Submitter (VS) Plans. June 2014 Form 5309, Application for Determination of Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
NOTE: The Form 5309 must be filed with a Form 5300.
January 2012 Form 5310, Application for Determination for Terminating Plan. December 2013 Form 5310-A, Notice of Plan Merger or Consolidation, Spin-off, or Transfer of Plan Assets or Liabilities; Notice of Qualified Separate Lines of Business.
NOTE: The filing of Form 5310-A will not result in the issuance of a determination letter.
November 2010 Form 5316, Application for Group or Pooled Trust Ruling or Cover Letter. June 2011
DLs cannot be issued for an out of date application. If one is received, request that the taxpayer send in a completed version of one of the current forms.
Tax Exempt Determination System (TEDS) is the primary system for processing DL applications. Although, DL applications are processed in TEDS, they will continue to be closed and DLs generated on the EDS.
The Letter Information Network User Fee System (LINUS) is used to process the user fee applicable for the DL application. This initial input data for user fee is then automatically transmitted to TEDS. The Form 2221, Schedule of Collections, acknowledgment letters and the EP Determination Input Sheet are generated from LINUS.
EDS is a national system run in a Sun Solaris environment. Potential tax-exempt entities submit applications to Exempt Organizations (EO) and EP to determine if they meet the law requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. EDS maintains inventory for cases being resolved under the EP Determination Letter Program and the EO Determination Letter Program. EDS also contains letter generation functionality for the determination letter.
EDS receives data from, and sends data to, several remote systems via Electronic File Transfer Utility (EFTU). Data is received from the Modified Employee Plans / Exempt Organizations Determination System (MEDS). EDS uses that data to create and update cases in the EDS database. Acknowledgement data is sent back to MEDS to report on the status. EDS sends case data to MEDS on a daily basis for the management of information reports. LINUS data is taken in and stored to support manual case entry. The LINUS data transfer provides data to EDS in the event that MEDS is unavailable. This functionality is available when necessary. Data is provided to the Returns Inventory Classification System (RICS) to be combined with TE/GE compliance data. This data transfer occurs on a daily basis. Data is sent to the EP/EO Application Control System (EACS) for forwarding to the Employee Plans Master File (EPMF) or the Exempt Organizations Business Master File (EOBMF), and data is received from EACS to report the status of posting EDS data into EACS. This data transfer occurs on each business day. Data is sent to a contractor (ICF Macro) who performs the Customer Satisfaction Survey. Data is transmitted via EFTU to Secure Data Transfer (SDT), which utilizes Tumbleweed Secure Transport v4.8.1, a certified Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 cryptographic module. Tumbleweed Secure Transport has an integrated web server based off of Apache that utilizes Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. SDT is used to provide files to external IRS customers. SDT is managed and maintained by the General Support System (GSS)-17.
Business Objects replaces the Cyber Security Data Warehouse (CSDW) in order for users to view, create, and modify inventory and employee reports. Business Objects uses a set of tools providing an in-built interface to query and analyze data and also to build ad hoc and canned reports.
Locally developed letters must meet national standards for letter format, content, and style. These standards also apply when local changes are made to letters approved for national use. If a local change is made to a letter approved for national use, the letter must still contain the appropriate Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number and letter number used by the Tax Forms and Publications Division. EP Determinations must request approval from the Office of Taxpayer Correspondence for any locally developed letters or local changes made to letters approved for national use.
Correspondex is used to automatically generate the Acknowledgement Notice 3335, Letter 4577C, Letter 5289C, and Letter 5290C.
Centralized Authorization File (CAF) is no longer used for EP determination letter cases.

Population Control
MICHELE BARNABY | Social Sciences Instructor
Although world population reached 7 billion on Oct. 31, the need for a world population control policy, or a policy to control or reduce the current world population, is not necessary.
Most nation states already have a population policy that sets aside federal funds for family planning. Strict population policies, like China's one-child policy, are not needed today. What seems to be more important and more successful is economic development. As economic development takes place, people choose to limit (or control) family size, and this makes sense. In rural societies, children are needed to help out on the farm, take care of younger children, and care for the older generation—children are assets. In urban societies, children are no longer needed to help out, are expensive, and a liability. As the world develops economically from primarily rural societies to primarily urban societies, couples choose to have smaller families.
Where vigorous population policies do exist, they have tended to be successful at reducing population growth, but unsuccessful at meeting societal needs. Many negative outcomes are associated with these types of policies. China's growth rate declined immediately after the installation of its policy in 1976. Today their natural growth rate is lower than the US's. China could abolish its population policy and would not see an increase in family size or a change in its continued declining growth rate because China is now an economically developed nation.
The negative consequences of this policy are still apparent. In China, the law states how large your family can be. If you ignore the law, the penalties can be quite strict from paying fines to losing certain privileges. Also, China's culture favors males over females, resulting in an abnormal sex ratio at birth. Today, China has many more grown men than women. Other negative social problems have been associated with the strictly policed policy. Outside of China, vigorous population policies don't always work as well, either. India has had a less stern population policy since 1952 with somewhat unorthodox approaches, such as focusing on providing incentives to voluntarily become sterilized. This has resulted in distrust among people in certain regions toward "help" from the government regarding family planning.
A strict population policy today could cause a severe population decline if it worked as well as China's. A declining world population would have negative results as well. Some regions already see population declines. Europeans no longer reproduce themselves. This has resulted in an aging population where more people are no longer part of the work force. Aging populations put financial stress on governments, can result in declining GNPs, and can even affect military policies. Europe relies on immigrants to make up for the hole in their work force. In Japan the declining population is so problematic and extreme that the Japanese have introduced policies to keep the elderly in the work force and even policies to assist in increasing the birth rate.
Population worldwide continues to grow, but eventually, and probably not too far in the future, we will see more regions with a stable or even a declining population. Focusing on economic development allows people to move to a condition where conscious family size is a priority. Government "control" is not wanted or needed.
TRAVIS IRION | Guest Columnist
Did you know you can fit the entire world's population into an area the size of Texas?
And this would give each person about 1,069 square feet to live on, leaving the rest of the world uninhabited. Although this would not be ideal, this shows there is no land crisis in relation to population. As for food, American-grown food alone provides about 3,800 calories per American each day. That is 1,800 calories more per day than the recommended 2,000-calorie diet.
Here is the kicker, 1,100 of those calories on average are wasted. This is not including the amount of foreign food consumed each day in the United States. The facts show that the U.S. produces enough food alone to sustain its own population.
With no land crisis and no food crisis, this leads to the conclusion that there is no need for government regulation of population size. The real issue is with our culture of materialism. There is no self-control to Americans' greed and indulgence. The government cannot legislate self-control for Americans. As much as governments have tried in the past, laws will not change people's ways. In fact they may only serve to reinforce them.
Try telling an American to eat only 2,000 calories per day! The real crisis is overconsumption, not overpopulation. The solution to this problem lies with America and its need to step back up to the plate and educate its population properly. Churches, private charities and health classes in school should be leading this campaign.
There is a fundamental moral factor to this issue, too. Self-control would invariably feed more people and satisfy the needs of the hungry not only in America but the rest of the world. Again, this requires a total cultural reorientation, which is not something that the government has any lasting effect on. If anything, government is an expression of culture, especially our democracy in America. Thus, government is not the solution.
Besides all this, the population-control advocates' solutions are patently illegal. Many support forced contraception, abortion, or sterilization and child limits. This would fly in the face of several fundamental rights that all Americans hold dear: religious liberty, privacy and family rights.
To enact such laws, the government would need a legitimate reason to interfere and regulate public life. In America, the Supreme Court has ruled that for the government to make forays into reproductive rights, it must have a compelling interest, which is more than legitimate. The case that made that most clear is Roe v. Wade. Let's see how many population control advocates would go for repealing that case!

DETROIT (AP) — Brisk demand for SUVs and pickup trucks — and five sunny weekends — pushed U.S. auto sales to a nine-year high in May.
Chrysler, Nissan and Toyota all reported double-digit sales gains over last May. Even General Motors, battling bad publicity from a mishandled recall, surprised with a 13 percent sales increase.

They did have many gluten free choices but the food was not good. I ordered broiled flounder, shrimp and scallops. The flounder and shrimp were overcooked. The scallops were undercooked. Long wait and pricey. Will not eat here again.

Mean spirited people. Why can't you say congratulations? Great Barrington has its charm which is more than I can say for the road rage afflicted. God forbid someone should want to cross the street at a leisurely pace in the digital age.
True. It is almost impossible to find Made in USA. I, too, miss the authentic L.L. Bean. Thank you for reminding consumers that they have the power of choice. I'd rather pay more for something made in my own country because I know it helped the person who made it feed her family.
Good point. Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Does anyone seriously believe it is an envious lifestyle to be a single mother dependent on food stamps?
I am not advocating eugenics. Nor I am an advocate for abortion. I am an advocate for civil liberties. Women ought to control their biological destinies and reproductive matters: not the state, not the church, not the insurance company. Period. End of story.
NOW nags? Not nice name calling. A house divided cannot stand. Race war, class war, gender war: all contribute to the demise of our great country. Look at the big picture: neither party has "We, the people," front and center. WE, the people, must stop petty bickering. I believe party politicians (of both parties) want to keep us at each other's throats so we are too busy to notice the damage they are doing. For example, a corporation is now a person. Outrageous!
I beg to differ. Let us unite and take action. Talk has never been cheaper. Volunteer. Help the military in your community, teach adults and children how to read, mentor a troubled teen. Action speaks louder than words. Massachusetts still refers to itself as the Commonwealth. Our common wealth lies in the talent and caring of individuals who are willing to take action to save their communities and thus our country.
Unfortunately, when I got laid off my job after 15 years of service and taxpaying, I was unable to afford the COBRA payments. Three years later I am still uninsured. I do not want you or anyone else to pay for my health insurance. I want a job that provides decent insurance. I work two part-time jobs to pay my bills, but neither of them provides insurance. I budget wisely. Still I have not found affordable health care insurance for someone in my situation. I am a college graduate, by the way. Maybe I should incur more debt by taking student loans and advancing my education for one of the jobs that the 1% wants me to believe they are creating. Yeah. Right after I buy that bridge in Brooklyn.
The year is 2012. Were it not for the bully pulpit, we would not and should not even be discussing women's reproductive rights! Thank you, Mr. Baird for continuing the fight. You will be successful when this is no longer an issue. Let's focus instead on, oh, homelessness, which is a direct result of our denial of services to the mentally ill. You would have to be mentally ill to end up sleeping in filth on a city street. Mother Teresa understood this and brought dignity to the forgotten in India. Let's help the people who are already here and suffering and let's stay out of women's ovaries and bedrooms. If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one. I don't expect you to pay for others to have one, either. But leave their choice intact. If you don't want to take birth control measures, fine. If you employ others and don't want to include their reproductive medical needs in their insurance policy, please read the United States Constitution carefully. If you find a clause that justifies your excluding reproductive rights from employee medical benefits, please let the Supreme Court know. They could use all they help they can get right now. Unfortunately, the lower socio-economic brackets are the ones who reproduce most frequently. Lack of education of children growing up in poverty leads to society's bearing the burden of paying for incarceration and/or other social services for people who are unprepared to provide for themselves. And don't give me that bootstraps song and dance. In order to raise yourself up you have to have some minimal structure and guidance. All of these issues are related. Until we, as a country-community stop judging and start helping, our society will continue to fragment. We are all in the sinking ship. Everyone has to grab an oar and head for the shore. "A house divided cannot stand" is applicable now more than ever.
Romney only cares about "poor single Moms" because he needs their vote. Don't be fooled. I am also tired of men speaking on women's issues. We are not equal yet. We will only be equal when we have a qualified, highly intelligent female candidate. We need a woman who is electable and who has ALL people's interests sincerely at heart.
Yes, it was very sad to see history aflame. I often found inspiration driving through Holyoke on a grey day when others found it depressing. I saw a glimpse of the past when we were a thriving manufacturing center. Thank you to our brave firefighters. The video was chilling and shows how underpaid you are for the risks you take.
I just had to have it. It will go great with the sofa.
Did anyone notice that Bain Capital( ringing any Romney bells?) bought up this company? I am sure they ain't worried about the florist pulling ads. It always comes down to money, folks, and Rush has so much big money behind his big fat mouth that he will get a pass on this. Try listenting carefully the next time he speaks about Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton. Like her or not, she is the Secretary of State. And this blowhard would be the first to demand respect if his choice for Secretary of State were being attacked by his adversaries. No hope for our country if this is the low level of discourse. Sad that not one person commented about the Bain connection. Bain and Fluke. Gotta love the prophetic names.
Here's hoping this project will be a success. Despite the negative comments and naysayers, this article offers a glimmer of hope for downtown. That building is a gem at Court Square and needs to generate income. The architecture is reminiscent of the prosperity that once visited the city of trees. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I do have to note that we get tired of all the talk and no action. Union Station, for example, has been talked to death, but it still sits waiting for a facelift.
I don't hear envy. Rather frustration and disgust. Race used to be the skeleton in the closet; not it is class. Wake up folks: the 1% just does not care about the rest of us. If we want to rebuild our communities it is up to us. ACT LOCALLY. Washington is, was, and always will be corrupt and out of touch with our needs. That is why the fighting and hating has to stop. The more polarized we are, the more the 1% advances. If we, the people, stop in-fighting and start acting, they will shake in their custom made shoes. Or Cadillacs.
@A Conservative: She may indeed be sincere. However, times are hard for so many American citizens that her apparent sincerity will surely be misinterpreted by the press and by many viewers or readers. Litmus test of fairness: What if First Lady Michelle Obama or Secretary of State Hilary Clinton had spoken these words? Would Fox news have been so ready to stand behind either of them? Hmmmm....
Keep talking, Mrs. R. You will talk your husband out of votes. I am sure the handlers and spin masters won't let this happen again. I am glad she said it: it is very revealing. If I were married to someone worth $250 million would I consider myself wealthy? Duh! The way things are going right now, I would consider myself wealthy if I earned a total $250,000 over the course of the next five years. Must be nice to live in a cushy vacuum.
You've done your homework and research. You are correct to invoke angelic intervention in this debacle. Verbally abusing a woman under any circumstances is simply unacceptable. The issues about Georgetown and its disregard for traditional dogma and moral codes are a more complicated and newsworthy story.
Thank you for the back story, but a gentleman does not speak thusly if he is schooled in rhetoric. Rush ought to have made his point tastefully. Now the point is missed and the vitriol is all that remains. We might examine why fighting for women's rights is still considered radical. If a man's insurer objected to testicular surgery because it might inhibit his ability to impregnate and breed or because it offended the employer's morals or religion, would a man be a gigolo for testifying before congress or protesting for his right to medical coverage? I think not. But I am an emotional, irrational woman ruled by my hormones. What would I know?
Rush an entertainer? He's about as entertaining as a root canal. Not giving him a pass on this one. Nothing entertaining about offending a woman in this manner.
Whether you are Limbaugh fan or not, his comments were vulgar, disrespectful and irrational. I know that provocation is part of Rush's theatrics, but this crossed a dangerous line. How sad that our nation is so polarized about women's reproductive rights. Rush has been a public figure for some time now. His viciousness is puzzling. Fluke (great name!) was acting as a concerned citizen by participating in our democracy. We, the people, are dismayed by this outburst. I do not expect my employer to subscribe to and pay for procedures that s/he finds objectionable on the basis of her religious beliefs. However, women ought to have an affordable independent alternative made available to purchase independently. And Rush, you can step down from the bully pulpit anytime, sir.

Pro Tools 9 Essential Training with musician and producer David Franz demonstrates concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in the industry-standard software for music and post-production. The course covers creating music with virtual instruments and plugins, editing with elastic audio for time and pitch manipulation, creating a musical score, and mixing with effects loops. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to import a video file and how to manipulate it in Pro Tools. Pro Tools can import QuickTime and Windows Media video files, as well as AAF, OMF, and MXF files. We're going to import a .mov file here. Let's go to File > Import > Video and locate the video. It's right here. Double-click it and we get the Video Imports Option dialog. We're going to put it onto a new track, and we'll put at the session start; however, you could put it somewhere else if you wanted. And I'm not going to import the audio, even though we can.
Note that you could also bring in a video file by dragging and dropping from the workspace or the Desktop. Let me expand this track out a little bit here, and you can see that we have two track views possible on a video track. We have got frames and blocks. We'll choose frames. I'm going to zoom in on this little bit, and you'll see that Pro Tools shows multiple frames in this track view. You also see that the video window opened automatically, so if I press play, we can see the video.
We can resize this video window. If we go down to the corner, you'll see the icon change, and I can click and drag to make it smaller or larger. I can also right-click in the video window and choose a different size. If you go up to the Window menu, you can choose to show or hide the video window. Over by the name of the track, we've got the Video Online button, and we can toggle this between having the video play along when it's online or not play along when it's off-line, and we'll see this little note "QuickTime movie is Offline" in the video window.
Pro Tools also automatically shows the Video Engine rate. Pro Tools determines this from the video when it's imported, and this video is 23.97 frames per second. Just like any other audio region or MIDI region, you can use the Grabber tool to click and drag the video region anywhere on this track. Once you've got the file where you want it, I recommend locking it in time in the session. And you can do that by right-clicking on the name of the track and choosing locked. And you'll see a little icon right here, meaning that it's locked, and that's the basics of what you need to know to import, display, and manipulate video files in Pro Tools.
There are currently no FAQs about Pro Tools 9 Essential Training.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.
Click on text in the transcript to jump to that spot in the video. As the video plays, the relevant spot in the transcript will be highlighted.

Ok, I have taken into account all of the advice offered in this tread and present Emetshamash with your new handgun!
The Glock 27 in 40 caliber!
It fits your price range, has good power, great reliability, and is easily concealed.
But do not listen to me, for some reason I own a Walther PP in 32 caliber and take Judo, I have a delusion that I can be as cool as James Bond when I grow up.

Without derailing this much, can I ask is it the majority of states in the U.S where you can legally have a concealed weapon??
As far as I know, in all of Australia it's illegal.
The other thing is, don't some of you feel that perhaps you are inviting trouble into your life by cruising around with a gun? Wouldn't just avoiding trouble area's etc be wiser?Wheels within wheels in a spiral array...

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A long time Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife staff has been named Deputy Commissioner. Andrea Erskine becomes the first woman in the 130-year history of the department to be given a leadership post.
Erskine is a native of Madison who was one of eight children in a family which enjoyed outdoor activities. She went to work for the state not long after graduating from Madison High School. She transferred to Inland Fisheries in 1984.
Since that time she has risen through the ranks and became IF & W's Legislative Liaison. Commissioner Chandler Woodcock knows Erskine from having served on the Fish and Wildlife Committee when he served in the legislature.
"She is the most responsive person I've ever seen in government," Woodcock told NEWS CENTER. "You ask her for a question and usually, by the end of the day, you have an answer, which for government, is warp speed."
Erskine characterizes herself as a good listener and a collaborative worker. She loves the outdoors and participates as a snowshoer, a paddler and a fisher. She and her husband have two grown sons. The Erksines enjoy a camp on a lake.
She hopes to get the word out about how much good work the department does. She also wants to tear down barriers which prevent women from enjoying the outdoors.

IS 589 a good price for a factory refurbed sig 229 .40?
Does it have night sights?
sounds a little high to me
without night sights, it's about $150 high for my area
Well, my used 229 (9mm) cost me $500.00. I sent it to Sig (on my cost) to have it cleaned, new springs and stock sights installed. The end price was a lot higher than $589.00.
I just bought a brand new Sig 229 9mm two tone with nightsights for $790
it's good to be the king
Pictures???? Get 'im, Ship....
I think you'll love the way it shoots. I've got a 229r in 9mm.
Let's hear all about it, once you get it out on the range.
it came in today..I loaded it up with Triton Quik Shoks and put it in a Bianchi AccuMold holster
it needs wood grips and a leather holster
I purchased a 229R in TT CPO in March for 600.00 including shipping so sounds about right in my area.
This price seems high unless you are in California
Just purchased a factory refurb Sig 229 40 cal with night sights and 2 extra mags for $450.00.

There is a pawn shop in town asking 599 for a .357sig. The gun is not in the best of shape either. Didn't ask to see it since I noticed on the tag that it was a .357. That price seemed high to me.

Madagascan Vanilla.
I have trouble with vanilla fragrances, often finding that they fall flat on my skin in a neutral layer of sweetness that is both boring and unappetizing. The thing is, I do love the scent of vanilla, so struggle to find one that works. Although they're not always to my taste, here are two solid vanilla's :)
Vaniglia Del Madagascar opens up with a recognizable, sweet vanilla. I struggle to use the word "rich", as I said, I just don't get that plush feeling I crave from most vanilla fragrances. However, there is some slight depth to this, and also a bizarre citric, salty accord that rests over the vanilla in a translucent layer. The ever-so-slightly candied lemon and some quiet, almost unidentifiable floral notes (orchid?) sit on the vanilla adding a minimalistic but necessary alternate dimension.
The vanilla from start to finish is the leading player without a doubt, and it's all down to whether you like the simple aroma of Madagascan vanilla as to whether you'll like this. There is a subtle amber in the background adding a tiny bit of depth – but Vaniglia Del Madagascar goes on light as air, but gradually gets denser and more potent as time goes on – which is an unusual development. On the skin, the vanilla gets better and better which is one thing I find really appealing about this fragrance.
It is undoubtably comfortable to wear which is surprising for me finding most vanillas turn cloying and clammy on my skin – they gain a dense, almost clotted texture with a dirty, breathy note that I so often bring up when discussing amber and myrrh – here however, that turn never happens. Instead it keeps its light and its translucency, whilst still remaining potent with a beautiful sillage – throwing back to my nose an almost almond-biscotti aroma, so maybe there's some heliotrope in here giving off a subtle almond vibe?
Anyway – it's a straightforward, lovely soft vanilla that still won't make it on my full bottle list but is nice enough to sniff.
Memoirs Of A Trespasser opens a little more bitter, a far more interesting beginning of almost soiled citrus, and a slightly diluted boozy accord. It smells like the sticky residue of a shot glass of whisky – the alcohol has evaporated but left behind is a slightly acrid but sweet vanillic liquer.
Underneath, the madagascan vanilla gets more and more prominent, showing a similar translucency to that of the Vaniglia Del Madagascar – only with a greater complexity underneath. There's a smooth, sweet wood listed as guaiacwood (a note I have little experience with) – but it comes across as a lovely, delicately smoked support. A lightly-handled bundle of resins is grouped underneath, a slightly smoky and smooth myrrh and vanillic benzoin with an amber-y base, holds the still leading vanilla. It sounds dense, but Memoirs Of A Trespasser is completely translucent – these additional notes an extremely subtle edge.
Thanks to the resinous base notes, the vanilla is a little less sweet than Vaniglia Del Madagascar, but still – completely smooth and it doesn't clot and congeal on my skin. The subtle trail of incense smoke throughout keeps the vanilla interesting and three-dimensional.
The vanilla that stays till the end results in the late drydown smelling extremely similar to the Farmacia fragrance, only a little de-sweetened and a little more subtle. Still, I find it the most interesting of the two, but preferring the sweeter drydown of the other (and appreciating it's gain in strength as time goes on). However, Memoirs Of A Trespasser gets drier and dirtier as time goes on – resurrecting the slightly soiled opening of the beginning – that charred quality with a hint of smoke which I like – at this point I find it hard to decide which vanilla I prefer, and am understanding how a vanilla soliflore can have different personalities.
In honesty, I have sampled Memoirs Of A Trespasser numerous times and never thoroughly enjoyed it – or understood it. As a result, I ordered some samples of other vanilla fragrances – and as proves in this review – it made me appreciate the fragrance a lot more. The perfumer (in recent conversations) suggested I may be anosmic to the ambrette seed musk in this, and I can totally appreciate that, as I don't detect a note-worthy muskiness in this, at least not until the late drydown. If it is a prominent accord, then it's likely I can't smell it – but there we go, that's what makes these things so much more interesting!
Both vanillas I find easily wearable and comfortable, which is a rare find for me – still, I haven't yet found the vanilla for me… Mona Di Orio's came close – that was before it started to smell like egg shells :|

Lookie what we have here! The same dreamy dress worn by the two, very dreamy starlets! This is a number by couturier Giambattista Valli and as you can tell, super hard to pull off. Emma Stone wore it at the Friends With Benefits premiere in New York back in July this year. Now it's turned up on Kirsten Dunst for Flare Magazine's November cover. Question is, who do you think wore it better, because we're having a hard time deciding! Our heart says Emma because we're feeling the love for her these days!
