|the united states of GOOD beer via GOOD
Representing the better half of the state of Missouri, Boulevard Brewing Company took the title. As a local Kansas City native, I'm glad to support our local brewery that consistently produces amazing craft beers. Although, I do love a summer Weach from O'Fallon and I've got some Coffee Stout from Schlafly in the fridge right now, I'm glad my hometown took the title. So far I've drank beer from Alaska Brewing Company, Nimbus, New Belgium, Dogfish Head, Landshark, Free State, Abita, Flying Dog Brewery, Bells, Big Sky Brewing Company, Granite City and Full Sail. I think that's about it… Dogfish Head and Bells are among my other favorites that I've had.
I'll go ahead and tack this map on my wall alongside my "To Drink:" list.

Man shot at Atlanta nightclub
ATLANTA -- Police said a man was shot inside an Atlanta nightclub.
Police told WSB-TV the shooting happened early Saturday morning at Primal Nightclub.
Police said the 25-year-old victim was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and was in stable condition.
Police said they couldn't immediately find the person or people who shot the man.
Authorities in Bryan County try to ID dead man
RICHMOND HILL -- Authorities in Bryan County are trying to identify a man found dead by the side of a road.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Micah Ward said a passerby found the man about 11:20 p.m. Friday along Carter Town Road in Bryan County. Ward said foul play is suspected but wouldn't describe the man's injuries.
Ward described the deceased as a white man, between 25 and 30 years old, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 180 to 200 pounds, with very short brown hair and a brown goatee.
Ward said the victim has a number of distinctive tattoos, including a devil and skulls on his back, an evil joker character on his chest and a marijuana leaf on his right leg.
Couple leave kids in shopping cart
COMMERCE -- A Georgia couple got so carried away with snagging Black Friday deals, authorities said they left their kids alone in a shopping cart.
Banks County Sheriff Charles Chapman told WSB radio that 35-year-old Mario Navarro and 31-year-old Esmeralda Elias have been charged with reckless conduct.
Chapman said the two left their 9-year-old and 9-month-old children in a shopping cart at the Banks Crossing Walmart so they could go shopping.
Chapman told WSB he figures the couple thought the kids would slow them down. The children were not harmed.

Do you have any information with research done in the 21st century?
Ditto. Why would anyone in their right mind base medical care for a patient using studies that are that old??? I'm baffled. Just goes more and more to prove that Brewer Diet does not work.

What travellers think
Enjoyed my visit.Hostel staff and other guests were friendly,helpful and courteous! People of Montreal were wonderful.! The hostel location was perfect, close to transport,central Montreal. Before I knew the importance of Rue Rene-Lavasque I "accidentally" I toured Montreal on foot (quite an effort for a 70+ year old gal).Hostel food was good (he made a terrific double cheese grilled sandwich-perfectly).Mgr of an HI NY state hostel visiting loaned me a baseball cap to protect my fair skin.

Best Example Of Why Radio Hosts Should Prepare For Celebrity Interviews St. Louis 2001 - George Carlin on KMOX
The Hippy-Dippy Weatherman, George Carlin, was doing the book tour thing in May, pumping up sales for his Napalm & Silly Putty bestseller. He was being interviewed by two of the chuckleheads at KMOX (1120 AM), McGraw Milhaven and Charles Brennan, during a live remote broadcast of the Morning Meeting from the Muny Opera. Milhaven asked Carlin about his wife, wondering that, given Carlin's anti-establishment, rebel image, were some people surprised he had married his childhood sweetheart and had stayed married for 35 years? Carlin replied that yes, he had married his sweetheart and had been married to her a long time but that she had died in 1997. At least Milhaven didn't start off by asking Carlin how his wife was standing the heat.

An Experimental Study Of Auctions Versus Grandfathering To Assign Pollution Permits
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
The authors experimentally study auctions versus grandfathering in the initial assignment of pollution permits that can be traded in a secondary spot market. Low and high emitters compete for permits in the auction, while permits are assigned for free under grandfathering. In theory, trading in the spot market should erase inefficiencies due to initial mis-allocations. In the experiment, high emitters exercise market power in the spot market and permit holdings under grandfathering remain skewed towards high emitters. Furthermore, the opportunity costs of "Free" permits are fully "Passed through."

Evacuation Policy and Procedures
Evacuation emergencies include fires, hazmat and explosion emergencies (when evacuation is directed by emergency personnel), natural gas leaks, unplanned utility outages, bomb threats and other situations in which emergency personnel direct evacuation of a building. In the event of fire or other evacuation emergencies at Susquehanna University, all persons in the affected premises must evacuate. Occupants will be notified of a fire or other evacuation emergency by a fire alarm signal, which may be a bell or a horn, depending on the building. Initial emergency notifications may also be followed by e-mail, text messages, outdoor public address system and phone communications (voice mail) if appropriate.
If occupants discover a fire or smell smoke, or discover any other hazardous emergency condition in a campus facility, immediately activate the building fire alarm and call the Department of Public Safety (DPS) at 570-372-4444 and/or 911. As occupants evacuate the building, they should calmly alert others in the affected area that they must leave and may take only important personal possessions that are in their immediate vicinity, if they can carry such items without risk to themselves or others. Items occupants may take include coats, valuables, medicines, purses, wallets and keys. Occupants should also take any pets with them. Occupants should never try to retrieve items in another location in the building.
Building occupants are not required or encouraged to fight fires and may only use a fire extinguisher when they are designated and trained to do so. Any individual designated and trained in the proper use of a fire extinguisher and confident in his or her ability to cope with the hazards of a fire may use a portable fire extinguisher to fight incipient fires (no larger than a waste basket). Any such efforts must be terminated when it becomes obvious that there is risk of harm from smoke, heat or flames.
Upon hearing a building fire alarm signal, occupants should evacuate immediately unless they have specific emergency responsibilities designated. Occupants should close windows and the doors behind them, and use the nearest safe exit, but NOT use any elevators. If caught in smoke or heat, one should stay low where the air is better, and attempt to reach a safe exit or area of refuge.
Occupants should check the door with the back of their hand and if the door or doorknob to the hallway is hot, they should not open it, as fire may be on the other side. If occupants are unable to leave a room or office due to heat or heavy smoke in the hallway, other obstructions, or physical disability, they should try to put a cloth or towel under the door to help prevent the entry of smoke. They should call 911 and the Department of Public Safety at 570-372-4444 and give the exact location so that emergency personnel can be directed appropriately.
Individuals should assist those who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing or mobility impaired as needed and immediately inform the nearest emergency responder of the individual's location. Individuals who have a disability that may impede their exit from a building in an emergency are encouraged to inform their supervisor of the nature of their disability in advance so that emergency evacuation procedures can be developed that will ensure their safe evacuation from the workplace.
Occupants should know the location of all exits from a building. All exits in residence halls are marked with EXIT signs.
Occupants should leave the building and assemble in the designated area assigned for a building, where individuals will not hinder the approaching emergency response personnel and apparatus. Students and employees should attempt to account for individuals that are known to be in the building, including all visitors. Any missing individuals should be reported to the DPS or emergency personnel. In addition, public safety staff will conduct a sweep of all floors if sufficient personnel is available and it is safe to do so.
Individuals should wait for DPS officers or emergency personnel to determine when it is safe to return to the affected building. Even though the alarm may stop, the building may not be safe to re-enter. If re-entry to the building in not imminent, occupants will be directed to proceed to another location.

Tasty, but not enough for two
Chili Mac and Beef is super tasty and user friendly, but it's definitely a stretch calling it a meal for two people. If you plan on doing anything active during the day there's no way this is enough fuel for two adults. If space and cost are that much of a concern, I suggest bringing some instant rice or, better yet, rice and beans (more protein) to stretch out the meal a bit.

TMZ reports that the woman who sent Chris Brown the three-page text that sparked his violent argument with Rihanna was his manager, Tina Davis. The detective's affadavit on the case referred to the texter as "a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with." In 2007, Brown and Davis denied rumors of a two-year affair between the pair, who are 20 years apart in age.
Chris Brown and his manager, Tina Davis have a strictly professional relationship. Ms. Davis has been instrumental in helping Chris achieve success as a multi-talented singer/dancer/actor. Rumors that the relationship goes beyond a working one, are not only patently false; they diminish her efforts and his undeniable talents.
The alleged text has been described as a "booty call" that provoked Rihanna to slap Brown. Neither Brown nor Davis has responded to the accusation.

6th Anniversary
Yesterday was our sixth wedding anniversary. We were lucky that my mom took the kids and we had an overnight date - a wonderful hotel room with a view, drinks and dinner (at 9 pm!), sleeping in! and a leisurely breakfast on a patio. I can't believe how time is flying and how six years ago I married the best husband anyone could imagine. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!

A Blast
A week or two ago we went to the hobby store and bought a model rocket kit. The kit included materials and instructions for two model rockets - one made of balsam wood, the other made of cardboard and plastic. Hubby has been dreaming about building model rockets with the kids and re-living his teenage years.
Hubby did most of the building (it's pretty finicky at times, requires paint, glue, sanding, etc.) and got the two model rockets ready. This past weekend there was no wind and we headed out to the soccer field and found the perfect dirt patch (we didn't want dry grass because of the fire hazard).
We set up the model rocket launcher and started with a small engine - the kids loved it! We sent up both model rockets and were lucky that they came down unharmed. This meant that they could be shot up again with a larger engine - wow, the second blast for both model rockets was really, really high! It took forever for them to come down and again we were lucky to retrieve them undamaged.
Once we sent our video to family and friends it was amazing to hear how others had done the same when they were young. We also attracted a couple neighbourhood kids that wanted to partake. This was such a fun thing to do and I know we'll be out there again soon.

Pattern and blue - looking for new drapes
Remember back in March when I shared my dining room tour? I was planning on replacing some of my plain stand-in curtains with something more substantial in our dining room. Those new drapes will serve as a focal point and the smaller window to the right will be covered with a simple white shade, which we also need next to our fireplace*.
We now have the simple shades and I'll share that in a separate post, but that means I need your help in selecting fabric for our focal window.
I ordered a bunch of samples from Tonic Living and narrowed it down to three. This very rough Photoshop job gives you an idea how the below choices affect the tone and colour of the room, the scale is a little off, but it might still help. The Ashbury Ikat on the left is a linen fabric and mostly navy. The middle Diamond Ikat is a cotton canvas and is much brighter with tones of blue and turquoise. On the right we have a more modern print with the Links cotton fabric in blue.

We had company this past weekend and it was hot - really hot. I wanted to have a dessert that was easy to make, could be prepared in advance and was great to eat at room temperature. And because cherries are out right now, I wanted to incorporate those.
I decided on a clafoutis and used Aran's and Helene's recipes as a guide. It turned out great and I was glad to have something on hand without having to rush before our company arrived.
You need (Adapted from Tartelette and Cannelle et Vanille):
- 2 cups of cherries, pitted
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup honey
- Scraped vanilla bean
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- powdered sugar (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350F and position a rack in the middle. Place all the cherries in a 8-inch round pie dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey until well combined. Add the vanilla, lemon zest, milk, cream and flour and whisk until smooth. Carefully pour over the cherries. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve at room temperature and dust with sugar.

Cake, Flowers and Hair

My job for this Saturday is a wedding cake. I'll create a 2-tier cake and will attempt a Swiss Meringue Buttercream icing. I'll decorate with flowers, similar to the inspiration shots above. All my inspiration photos are flowers in pink - my sister doesn't like pink - so I'll be working with shades of red and orange.

And then she asked me to do her hair (ahhh!). My sister has super straight and glossy black hair. She wants a simple up-do, so we've got the pins and hairspray and I'll do my best!

Collectible Colours - July
It's time for another collectible colours. This time I was inspired by the shells we collected in Cape Cod, the gems collected at a kids mining activity and painting the fireplace. The natural shades are very calm.
What is this series about?
For the collectible colours feature I choose a specific colour per month and collect things in my house to arrange and photograph. I can't go out and buy anything to match the colour scheme though, I have to own it - I find this a great exercise to focus on day-to-day objects and to see if they fit.

There isn't much that tastes better than Cod on Cape Cod. We got the fresh catch of the day and baked it in the oven with some lemon/herb aioli. Served with some tomato and mozzarella salad and we were in heaven on the back deck - even the kids couldn't get enough of it.
The simplest how to ever:
- Put the fish in a buttered baking dish and slather with aioli
- Bake for 12 minutes in pre-heated 350 F oven
- Check that the thickest part of the fish is cooked and serve immediately.
Lemon Herb Aioli
- ½ Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 ½ Tbls Lemon juice
- 1 Tbls each Fresh parsley, basil and thyme
- 1 Tbls Chives
- Pinch pepper
*It was fun taking the photo with dishes and cutlery I found at the rental. I placed everything on the back deck for the photo, right on the cedar planks.

Abysmal back yard
* if you have a phobia of weeds and/or crumbling decks and patio stones, please move on to another blog story.
When the weather was first getting nice in April I posted about my dream back yard. Dream solution for the available space anyway. At the time I didn't show you my actual space - here it is in all it's abysmal glory.
Everything street facing on the other side of the fence (we are on a corner) is lovely - our plants are doing well, our lawn is maintained, the path is old, but in pretty good shape. Even the fenced in side of the yard where we have our play structure and new raised flower bed is ok, nothing fancy, but in good shape.
Then you turn the corner and see the image above. Our not to code deck with wobbly railing and oddly off stairs, the weeds that are growing like trees, the deck box that doesn't have a proper home, the old patio table that is sized wrong for such a narrow space and the horrendous pink patio stones, home to even more weeds.

While I was dreaming in the spring to tear down everything and rebuild, it was clear to us that that won't happen this summer. Budget is our first reason: we want to do a proper overhaul and use quality materials. Cedar decking is expensive and we'll also have to redo the concrete posts. Even more expensive are stone paving stones. The second reason is time: this is some time consuming tear down and rebuild.
I thought that we could pull up the stones and live with it for the summer, just so I would not have to look at their pink horrendousness, but then we thought that a pile of mud with two kids is probably not a good idea. So we wait and are embarrassed when inviting people over for BBQ, corralling them to the lawn section of the yard which is indeed much nicer.
I might get different dining chairs that don't need cushions at the end of the season so we could sell the deck box. This past weekend we just added to the 'loveliness' by buying a larger filtered kids pool (see blue blob above). It's been so hot that we felt bad dumping the water of the kiddy pool each evening - while this thing again is not pretty, the filter allows us to keep the water in and it's deeper for more cooling fun. Hubby stated that now we just needed to add a car on blocks and we'd have a complete look going.
Is your back yard a priority or do you focus your time and money on the inside?

After a week in Cape Cod we headed to Boston for two days. The last time we had visited Boston was about 3 weeks before M was born - I was walking around all big and puffy, but man, a visit in the city was so much easier then.
I find travelling to cities harder with kids than staying at the beach or at a cottage. The crowds, the transportation and the confined space of a hotel room make things just a bit trickier. However, this time was definitely the easiest city visit we have done to date with kids.
We stayed at the Ames Hotel, which is right smack in the middle of Boston - turn the corner and you're at Quincy Market. The Hotel was amazing - the design is incredible. An old historic building with a complete modern design inside. The rooms are on the smallish side, but the beds are super comfortable, the bar was the most stocked I had ever seen with full 365ml bottles of all the large liquor brands (not that we'd spend that money on mini bar alcohol), the accent wall was black and the ceilings were about 15 feet tall. The bath was so deep that the kids heads went to the edge of the tub when they were sitting. Breakfast is included and is wonderful, a great selection and good quality. The staff was super friendly and the location can't be beat - except for the expensive downtown parking. The kids loved the hotel and after a hot day walking around the city we all fell asleep quite easily.
First day we walked around Quincy market and then beat the heat by jumping on a trolley tour around the city. The breeze was welcomed and we got to see a lot of the sites without having to drag the kids by foot (oh my, our kids really don't walk when in the city - they'll run all day at the water-park or the woods, but get them to the city and they just won't walk! An umbrella stroller would have been a good $20.- spent) We ate fresh fish at Legal Seafood, which find is a bit pricey for what it is, but my crab cakes and scallops were really good and the kids ate well and we were seated right next to a huge aquarium. We then walked around the harbour and headed back to the hotel, hours past their bed time.
The next day was another scorcher in Boston, so we walked to the Boston Commons Frog Pond, which has a wonderful play area and the amazing spray pool. We then jumped on the carousel, walked past many historic sites, such as the Massachusetts State House and walked across to the other side of the park where the gardens are and the swan boats. A great ride on the subway (my kids love the subway) was a highlight.
The afternoon was spent at the New England Aquarium. This aquarium is just by the harbour and was about a 15 minute walk from our hotel. I really liked that we didn't have to take a long trek to get there, however, I would recommend that you book your tickets ahead of time to avoid the long line-up in the sun. I'm not sure if it was just that weekend, but I had to wait a least 30 minutes to get some tickets. The kids loved the penguins, the large multi storey fish-tank and all the jelly fish. We should have spent more time there, but after all the heat the kids were getting tired so we had a rest at the hotel.
We spent the evening watching some street performance shows at the market and I managed to get 30 minutes or so at Anne Taylor. Another good night of sleep and we were packing up to go home.
This part of our vacation was not easy - but I love Boston. I love the history, the buildings, the green spaces...My learning here would be that kids ages 3 and 5 need some wheels to get around, having them not walk made everything just a tad frustrating and much harder than it had to be.
Do you rent/buy a stroller when you visit a big city or are my kids just lazy? D gave up his stroller at 18 months, he wanted nothing to do with it here in Ottawa.

Friday Food Files and a Workshop
Roasted tomatoes ready for shoot, styled by Aran
photo by me
When Aran announced the workshop earlier this year, I jumped on the opportunity to learn from her, to improve my food photos and have a little 'me' day. But everything was so rushed, and I was wondering why I had added yet another thing to my schedule on my way to Montreal the day before M's party.
Radishes sliced thinly for salad, prepping ingredients, Aran shooting tomatoes
I got to the workshop 15 minutes late (this never happens to me!) and joined Aran, 12 women and Mayssam, who had managed to get Aran to Montreal. Aran started the day by going through her process, how she sets up her shoots, where she takes her photos and a little background on how she got to where she is today. Aran is very friendly, a little reserved and seems delicate - but with an added spark that you can see in her photos. I was trying to take everything in and to hear how she gets the photos she publishes on her blog.
Once Aran started preparing her shots I saw how the details matter. A photographer friend of mine had once told me that food photos are 80% about styling and only 20% about photography. I could see that happening here. You can't rush a photo, attention needs to be given to the food arrangement, the background, the herb placement, the fact that a radish looks better sliced thin, etc. This will be my main challenge, to find the time to prepare for a great photo and not taking a couple of pictures right before serving dinner.
Aran's computer for photo analysis, water and ingredients around the kitchen
While watching Aran, my head was going through my to-do list and I was getting a tad impatient with people asking about camera settings, software settings and so on - that was unfair of me. Everyone was taking this day to learn and take away something, and I was forgetting to do the same.
While I was flustered and didn't really have the head in the game, I do see 3 weeks later - relaxed after my vacation - that I picked up a lot of pointers for myself. Be it the importance of careful styling or a few details on lighting that I tend to rush, or even ignore. There is no magic formula to take a good photo, it's good preparation, the details, light and lot's of practice.
I want to use this post to thank Aran for her time, her knowledge, her wonderful talent in food photography and I want to apologize for not bringing my all when she was. I'll never look at a cut tomato quite the same way and there's always a pretty way to present a strawberry.
After lunch it was our turn to style and photograph. You can see my flustered attempts below.

Vacation on the Cape
We just got back from a wonderful week in Cape Cod and two days in Boston. It was truly the best vacation we've had since having kids. We are not quite sure if the wonderful location was the factor or because our kids are older now, but whatever it was it really worked this time. I went through 500+ photos today and chose quite a few to share with you here on the blog. I'll share Boston in a separate post.
We rented a house in Chatham, a little less than 1km walk from a small beach. The house had a large well maintained yard and all the things we needed, making cooking and laundry a breeze and much easier than staying at a hotel. I also find that renting gives you a lot more space for less money.
Day one we went around the charming town and hit two beaches. The weather was hot and sunny and we enjoyed the full summer experience. I loved that Chatham had no Mc Donald's and that Starbucks was miles away at the grocery store. The only real chain I saw there was Dunkin Donuts. The houses in Chatham and the Cape in general are beautifully maintained, Chatham itself catering to the wealthier with Harry Connick Jr supposedly owning a property - some of the sprawling houses right by the beach were just amazing.
Day two was rainy and we headed north to Provincetown. We walked the colourful streets, dug through a few of the curiosity shops and had great clams and lobster for lunch. Once the rainstorm came thundering in we hoped back in the car and headed back to the cottage for a quiet afternoon and an evening spent at the beach. Provincetown would be a great town to visit art galleries and party all night long.
The next day we decided to visit Nantucket. We took the speed ferry, which the kids loved and got there in an hour. The weather turned out to be beautiful on the island, while it was raining all day on the mainland. Nantucket is expensive and I felt quite underdressed amongst the Louis Vuitton clad ladies. However, we rented bikes and tackled the bumpy cobblestone roads of town toward the bike paths to the beaches. The kids were a bit whiny about the bumpy roads, but once we hit the beach all bets were off. The island is picturesque and the people are friendly, but I think to fully enjoy it you'd have to stay more than a day.
The kids loved the South Beach which is about 5km bike ride from the town and has washrooms and food for sale. All of Nantucket also offers a lot of bike parking and great scoops of ice cream at the Juice Bar.
The rest of the days we visited a Lavender Farm, went on a kids geared Catch n' Release Fishing tour and visited the Natural History Museum. Those are just a few of the things you can do while there - unless you just want to eat ice cream and dig your toes in the sand.
What a wonderful stay - I think all the stars aligned on this trip - the kids were in a great mood, the location was beautiful, friendly and had a lot to offer, the weather was outstanding and there are so many beaches to discover that you never get bored. Hubby and I actually got to sit back and talk to each other on a couple of occasions and we felt relaxed and in true vacation spirit. We'll be back for sure, and if I win that lottery I'll be buying right next to Harry.

Begovic has enjoyed an impressive season for Stoke and has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.
The January acquisition of Jack Butland from Birmingham City only served to fuel speculation that the Potters would cash in on Begovic in the summer.
However, following the departure of manager Tony Pulis, the 25-year-old is trying not to think about where he will be playing his football next season.
Instead, Begovic is planning a short break before linking up with Bosnia-Herzegovina ahead of next month's 2014 World Cup qualifier away to Latvia.
"Now, I'm on my way for a holiday, but I don't know yet what will happen," Begovic told SportSport.
"Will I leave Stoke City? There are many rumours, but so far I didn't get any concrete offers. But that doesn't mean that I will not get one.
"Right now, I don't want to think about all that. First, I need some days off, then I have an important match with my national team."

has anyone seen the actual film yet.. bb makes me want to jump in. he cant stop talkin about it. did more to max out sales than any other promotion marky mark and those Hwood funky bunches could come up with. i mean, pats just won in a blow out and a big motivational reason is because of the intensity of the movie. got everyone fired up and on the same page as one to come in intense from the start esp to run the ball with such power. i believe in intangible leverage, this seemed to do the trick. whatever rexy did with his boys, lets dump that!
bb has a ton of hollywood and show biz connections. everyone kisses the ring. he and mark are great friends and mark did a special screening for him. a lot of special logistics went into this, wasnt like they just waltzed into a local dive and mixed with da unwashed. bb loves the theme, "about how they captured the first person aspect, the technical and cinematography aspects, the commitment of the unit to fight and sacrifice for all, toughness of team work.. all the training that went into it, how that all came together in actual reality, the emotionality, appreciate all the peeps fighting for our freedom."
first time he saw it was after the cleveland game.. he was exhausted but after it, felt like he could go thru a wall.. so pumped up! he went to meet wahlberg at the premiere and was as impressed as a a teenybopper meeting him again., "i mean this was the guy who actually went thru all these emotions and who filmed this masterpiece".. even admitted to tearing up a bit a few times. i'm interested in watching, anyone else in?

Guest post by Lucreda Cobbs
In our work with Members of Congress and their staff, we share a lot of stories, faces, and names of those facing the daily challenges of living in poverty – but we rarely get the chance to bring that reality to the offices of Senators and Representatives.
This week on Capitol Hill, we had the chance to do just that. Along with our co-sponsoring partners at Entergy Corporation, we hosted an interactive simulation that brought to life for two hours a full-scale, immersive experience that showed members of Congress and their staff what it's like doing your best to just get by.
"Poverty knows no party, or race, or agenda," Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) said. "These individuals are navigating a system that is treating them as faceless and nameless problems instead of human beings."
Throughout the course of the event, a bipartisan group of participating Members of Congress spoke on how the simulation was impacting their understanding of what it's like to be living in poverty, and how both sides of the aisle can work together to pursue the common good.
"It's a full-time job to be poor in America," said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), "and I don't think many Americans understand that." Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) referenced Fr. Larry's Annual Gathering keynote address in summoning us to build a bridge to opportunity, and Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Tx.) called the simulation "a chance to walk in the shoes of those impoverished, and those with dreams." They were joined by Reps. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.), Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.), Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif), Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), and Dan Kildee (D-Mich.).
For about an hour and a half, participants rotated throughout various stations in the room. From bartering appliances for less than their value at the pawn shop, to deciding to use a valuable transportation voucher to go to work or to take their children to school, many found that it was quite the challenge to live their lives fully with so many restrictions.
By the end of the simulation, only one family found that their situation had improved from the start of the exercise. Even when participants found themselves evicted from their homes and exhausted of resources, they found the exercise to be eye-opening and meaningful.
The work of restoring opportunity and reforming our nation's approach to addressing poverty will continue, but at least one day, the trials and challenges of those living in need were not abstractions to the officeholders in Washington, but were staring them in the face. It was a chance for those with the power to fund and shape our country's social safety-net programs to walk a mile in the shoes of those in poverty – and many were amazed at how burdensome that journey can be.

SHREWSBURY, Mass. — A Shrewsbury man was sentenced Thursday to probation in Westborough District Court after being caught in a home break-in.
Matt Russell, 23, 70 Spring St. was charged with malicious destruction of property, attempt to commit a crime, and possession of a burglarious instrument.
According to court records, Shrewsbury Police Officer Mark Dubois was dispatched to 10 Hawthorn Road Sept. 26 for a report of a breaking and entering in progress. The home owner informed police a man matching Russell's description was walking around her house.
Upon arrival, Dubois reported he saw Russell on the lawn and arrested him. Further investigation revealed two screens on rear windows had been cut, and fingerprints matching Russell's were found on the windows, police said.
Russell was sentenced to one year of probation and 50 hours of community service. He was ordered to stay away from the victim.

Handicap Bus
Generally, handicap vehicles are considered as technological innovations which are designed to provide persons with disabilities a certain degree of comfort when attempting to move from one place to another. These types of vehicles can range from as small as a handicap scooter to as big as a handicap bus. Careful consideration must be done before attempting to purchase one of these vehicles designed to bring a sense of normalcy to the life of the handicapped.
Sometimes these vehicles are also referred to as ADA compliant buses in reference to the law which covers the rights to public transportation of disabled people.When planning to buy handicap buses for sale, make sure to consider some of the following criteria so that all the needs of your passengers will be met.
1. Brand New or Used Buses for SaleThere is a significant difference between purchasing a brand new handicap bus and the used bus sales cost. For one, like many other things, the value of anything brand new is always higher compared to that which is used or refurbished. If you believe that you have the money to spend, then by all means get a brand new one. However, if money is an issue, the wise choice would definitely be to purchase a used handicap bus.
Used handicap buses after all are not that bad. You simply need to consider the amenities that go with the vehicle. For example, the type of wheelchair lifts installed. Normally, a heavy duty dual-arm is the lift in use for big vehicles like buses. If it will be used for private transportation of your group, then it would be easy to evaluate whether the width of the lift is enough to accommodate the various sizes of wheelchairs or other transports used by your members. Remember that all buses for sale come with a manufacturer's recommended retail price, with emphasis on the recommended. So try to bargain for the best price available on the unit that you need. Dealers like Absolute Bus Sales and Florida Church Bus offer competitive pricing schemes.
2. Diesel or Gas Used BusAgain, this would depend on how much you have set aside for maintenance and fuel expenses. For brand new buses, this is not that big of an issue because the engine should still be functioning at its optimal level. For used handicap buses however, some engines may already be refurbished making it a gasoline monster. If diesel pump prices remain lower than gasoline, then a diesel engine handicap bus would be just the right one for you to maximize its potential. It is likewise wise to voice out your concerns to the dealer prior to purchasing the vehicle so that they can be adequately addressed.
3. What is the purpose of the handicap busThere are different intended uses for a handicap bus. One of the most common reasons for buying handicap buses is to use them as church buses. This type of handicap bus is used by ministers to visit their congregations who no longer have the ability to go to church because of their handicapped condition. It may also be used to spread the church's ministry to neighboring cities or towns. It is important that the dealer you talk to has a vast experience specifically with church buses, because he can give you an accurate detail on the maintenance requirements as well as the expected mileage of the vehicle. For church buses, you need to know whether your driver has a commercial license or not. You also need to consider the seating capacity including the luggage room required. Since you will be using it as a handicap bus, it is imperative that it has all the safety requirements installed like seatbelts, secure locks for wheelchairs, and the like.
Another potential use is as a paratransit bus, this is dedicated for persons with disabilities who require assisted living. School bus for handicapped children is also commonly found in various school districts. If you know a bus builder who is familiar with the disabilities act, it would be wise to consult him to get an idea on exactly what to look for.
4. WarrantyWarranty is another important thing to consider when attempting buying used buses for sale. This will guarantee that you will have the best value for your money and to a certain degree, limit the maintenance and operation cost for the first few years. You would not want to have to immediately shoulder repair costs during the first year. Along with the warranty, try to find out the kind of after sale service they are going to offer. You can be more confident buying from a dealer with a service center where you can bring your vehicle in case it bogs down.
5. Things needed to improve handicap accessibilityA ramp and lift are the most common equipment found in handicap buses. To purchase a bus to include those which are not basic like air conditioning, tinted windows, power locks, and other extras would provide additional comfort to the passengers. Normally, people who purchase handicap buses look for wide center aisles, comfortable seats, low steps, assist rails, and other installations to assist not only the handicapped but also the elderly.
You may also want to look for a handicap bus that have special anchoring equipment for the floor and walls which will secure the wheelchair inside the bus during the travel. Look also at the seating section of the vehicle to ensure that everyone would be at ease during the trip. Information on how safe the bus is would also be helpful to allow you to place your disabled passengers in the correct section of the bus.

The "Hot Chicken Pancake" is fried chicken that's slathered in our hot Pepper aioli, white american cheese between Two apple Pancakes
Chef and owner Josh Lemmon reimagined his successful Burger, INK food truck as a brick-and-mortar eatery, and the colorful vehicle is moored in the parking lot awaiting a buyer. It's an odd location for a new restaurant — its neighbors are a biker bar, an old motel and a cemetery. The interior of the restaurant is sparsely appointed, save for a mural of its menu and some local music-themed artwork. The restaurant is still waiting for its liquor license, but it's certainly not waiting for customers — I found it packed on both weekday and weekend nights.

Gentle caresses sweep my skin
with creeping tenderness,
devouring every curve of my body
and feeling its sizzling melt
against your skin.
Your loving gaze enters my soul
striking away all attempts
to keep the padlocked
heart and mind
shuttered from any harm.
Your finger tips tantalize
my womanly form
raising delightful awareness.
You lead my chin towards you
brush your nose and lips
over my face as you slowly
move towards my mouth
then meet, magically.
Explosive emotions
dynamite through my mind
as we meld together
I become putty in your hands
and you play purposely
mastering your art
knowing it's your attention
to detail that matters
in loving me.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
TAQQADUM, Iraq, Dec. 18, 2007 Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen fondly remembers the smiles entertainers brought to the faces of his crews, and he is seeking to spread those smiles around Iraq.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff led the Chairman's USO Holiday Tour here today, and about 1,800 servicemembers roared their approval.
Robin Williams headlined the show. This is the star's fourth USO run through the combat zones. Joining Williams is actor-comedian Lewis Black, singer Kid Rock, Miss USA Rachel Smith and seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. Irish tenor Ronan Tynan will join the tour later in the week.
Mullen said his connections to the USO go back a long way. His first experience with the USO was in 1970. He had just married his wife, Deborah, and he moved from the West Coast to the East Coast.
"I went to New York City, and the first place I went was the USO booth because of their reputation and because of what I'd seen through the 1960s and 1970s," he said during an interview. "I saw how the entertainers made such a difference and uplifted those who were serving away from home in a tough environment."
Through his career, Mullen has spent many years at sea. "I have always sought to make sure that my crews got to see these entertainers whenever they could," the admiral said. "They always brought a smile, and that to me is what this is all about. This is a great group of entertainers who have taken time out of their lives to come here for the troops."
Mullen said he appreciates all that the USO has done to bring this show together. "I hope we can reach out to more entertainers to do this not just over the holidays and make it year-round," he said.

Now, before discussing what is known about the situation at Guiding Light, first, I'm going to explain how the writing team is organized for Procter and Gamble productions. What the different soap writers normally do might help to clarify things.
There are generally three different types of writer for a soap. First, there is the head writer, which is usually one person, like right now with David Kreizman, but at other periods in GL history it has been multiple people at once, as was the case for most of the period between 1990-1995. A head writer thinks out the long term storyline, usually under the influence of the producer and, more controversially, the marketing department. Sometimes these storylines are written weeks or months in advance, though they are not carved in stone. This over-all plot is sometimes referred to as "the book" and it is from this, in various forms, that future developments are drawn. From this base material, the plots for shows are then formulated into a weekly format which summarizes major events, character reactions etc.. This outline is then taken to the breakdown writers who assist the head writers in making day by day episode sketches. These include a scene by scene breakdown of the action and can include character arcs for the week or for an entire multi-week story. The outlines created are then given to the script writers who write the actual dialogue for the episodes. A similar hierarchy was also at work for the recent novel, Jonathan's Story, for which head writer Kreizman wrote the story and the breakdown while Julia London and Alina Adams wrote the prose. There have been exceptions to this method, as when one or two writers write an entire episode, but that is extremely rare.
Currently, David Kreizman's name still appears on the list of writers for daily episodes, which means that he is likely still behind the scripts appearing and they were no doubt authored before the strike began. There have been insider reports that the scripts which he worked on ran out around the new year. Because there is a delay between when episodes are shot and shown, Kreizman's work is still present. Some set side people have suggested that we should be seeing a change coming soon. Although there have been rumors that someone will be taking over as the acting head writer during Kreizman's strike related absence, this has not been confirmed by network officials and will not change the direction which producers wish to push the show. Rumors have suggested that Lloyd Gold, who currently works as a breakdown or script writer, would take over as head writer. He was head writer for the show from 2001 – 2002 and has remained on staff, appearing at last year's Daytime Emmy Awards as part of the award winning writing team. These are only rumors though, they have not been confirmed and, given the situation, the chance of confirming this definitively are minimal. Last year, several of the script writers were let go from the show for budgetary reasons. While that did not impact on the storylines, it did cause certain changes in the quality of dialogue.

The 23-year-old has joined the Hammers on loan with a view to a permanent deal next summer.
"It's great to be here at West Ham and all signed up - I just can't wait to get started now," Carroll told the club's official website.
"I want to be playing games and obviously hoping to score some goals. I know the manager well and some of the lads, so it is nice for me to come to a place where I know people.
"I'm hoping to add a lot of goals and create a few chances. I know Sam from Newcastle and he was a massive reason for me coming. When I worked with him at Newcastle it was great so it was a no-brainer really."
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce said: "I think for all parties this is a great signing. Andy is an all-round footballer, but because he is 6'3" and one of his strengths is his aerial power, everybody dismisses the ability he possesses on the floor.
"Hopefully he can score goals for us and we will be in a very good position at the end of the year in the Barclays Premier League."

Park Service Cleans Up Eggs In Death Valley
By editor
Originally published on Thu July 4, 2013 9:48 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Yesterday, we told you about tourists flocking to Death Valley, here in California, for the 100th anniversary of the hottest day ever recorded there, or anywhere on this Earth. We noted they were frying eggs on the pavement. Turns out, the park service noticed, too. They've been cleaning up runny yokes and eggshells left and right. For a proper fried egg, says the park service, use a skillet. And here's the trick: Use a lid to keep in the moisture. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Guest column: Is True Energy Independence Possible?
Guest commentary
During the recent electoral brouhaha, both sides claimed they could drill their way to energy independence and lower the price at the pump, and both knew better.
We can drill hither and yon, and even a rig in the White House Rose Garden won't affect pump price one whit. That's because oil prices are set globally, affected by global demand, which we are unlikely to significantly influence. We are, however, close to the end of dependence on Mideast oil. We currently acquire less than 20 percent of our oil from outside our hemisphere.
Ending our imports from Saudi Arabia is a major step toward independence but doesn't free us from price spikes at the pump. When all our oil comes from the Western Hemisphere, much of it will come from the United States, but that is not critical in establishing our independence from Mideast imports. Some predict that our tar sands oil will result in the U.S. becoming the world's No. 1 producer of fossil fuels and a major exporter.
Our new "fracking" techniques of extracting oil from shale rock increases dramatically the risk of environmental disaster. We already have had a tar sands oil pipeline rupture that proved incredibly difficult to clean up. If much of our oil comes from Canada, Mexico, Columbia and even Venezuela (Hugo Chavez owns many of our gas stations), it doesn't impede our move toward total energy independence. We will continue to be at the mercy of global oil prices.
In a larger perspective, our oil needs peaked at about 20 million barrels a day. It has since drifted back to less than 18 million barrels due to the recession and the steady improvement in mileage performance by the auto manufacturers. The most encouraging move has been the president's jawboning the auto industry into accepting a 10-year goal to double our current average auto mileage to 55 mpg.
Our current oil appetite includes 5 million barrels a day for non-auto utilization: aircraft fuel, home heating, plastics, asphalt, etc. This portion is difficult to reduce, except perhaps for home heating, which can be delivered much more economically if natural gas pipelines are extended in the Northeast. The 13 million or so barrels for auto consumption can seemingly be cut in half by doubling the average mpg. This, however, is misleading. Cut my gas expense in half, and I might well drive more. There would also be more cars on the road if they become significantly cheaper to operate. And, of course, our population is growing.
An interesting sidelight, under the aegis of the law of unintended consequences, is the plight of public transportation. A prime example is the attempt to sell Florida on the efficacy of a high-speed rail line from Tampa to Orlando. At best the economics are marginal, but look what happens when people can acquire (in a very few years) cars at regular prices, that can achieve 100 mpg or the equivalent (Chevy Volt, Ford Focus EV, Nissan Leaf, etc.). If you could drive to Orlando for about the cost of one gallon of gas, would you consider taking the train? Besides, how would you get around once you arrived at fantasyland? Rent a Zipcar, perhaps?
An even greater threat to public transportation is the advent of the driverless car. Google has already succeeded in testing a fully computerized car over several hundred thousand public miles without mishap. There are, of course, several years of testing, improving and packaging the electronics before the public can avail itself of this incredible innovation. If, in a few years, you could "undrive" a Chevy Volt, for the equivalent cost of 10 gallons of gas, from New York to Naples, in a day or two, would you consider the auto train?
The key to true energy independence rests on dramatic reduction in the use of fossil fuels. An important component is the development (and acceptance) of highly efficient hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric cars. Anyone with a shred of economic patriotism should consider at least a hybrid in their next car-buying venture. Large, luxury hybrids that achieve 40 mgp (without excessive acquisition cost) are beginning to gain traction. Standard hybrid cars that achieve close to 50 mpg are beginning to appear. The big gains in the short term will likely be plug-in hybrids that deliver a range of 60 to 100 miles with a reasonable sticker price. Eventually, the big payoff will be in full electrics like the Nissan Leaf. Owners of cars like the Volt and Leaf love their vehicles, but there are far too few of them.
Studies show that current owners of electrics and plug-ins tend to be wealthy. Yet the sixth-richest county (Collier) in the nation is woefully behind. Does anyone know why?

The recent Inspector General report to congress for the Department of Education highlights increases in student aid fraud rings of as high as 82% in the past three award years. These fraud rings often target online and distance learning programs. "Large, loosely affiliated groups of criminals who seek to exploit distance education programs in order to fraudulently obtain federal student aid because all aspects of distance education take place through the Internet…" said Education Inspector General Kathleen Tighe to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "…students are not required to present themselves in person at any point and institutions are not required to verify prospective and enrolled students' identities."
Verifying identities and determining the potential that a particular applicant may commit fraud can be complicated — particularly for young populations like college students who don't often have the detailed credit histories which are the usual data source for online identity verification tools.
Using alternate data like payment of utility or phone bills, corroborated with other identity data, we have been able to successfully verify hard-to-identify groups like college students, new U.S. residents, and the "under-banked". An in-depth analysis conducted last September, across three different client programs, found identity match rates of up to 98% with the use of alternate data. Once ID'd those applicants can then be checked for past fraud or markers for the propensity to commit fraud.
Fraud solutions often target strategies to recoup fraudulent payments after the fact which is an often lengthy and not always successful process. Experience has shown us that setting up the appropriate checks during the application process limits fraudulent student loan applications and inappropriate payments. The end goal is always to identify individuals who have a high risk of committing fraud and stop them before they get into the program.
