Curry, Mild, Organic
Curry, because of the ground turmeric and cumin, is difficult to keep fresh and bright tasting. Because we blend this mixture in small weekly batches, our curry maintains its freshness for much longer than curry produced by other larger spice companies. We combine traditional Indian flavors with a delicate touch of heat. A natural choice for vegetable and fish curries when the heat factor needs to be minimal. Adds great flavor to potato, chicken and pasta salads.

Rachel Alton returned to Whitten's Grove for one reason and that was to prevent a massacre. Her attendance at the local wedding of two of her best friends was just for fun. She never expected her reaction to seeing Ben Mitchell again. Without warning, he awakens her dormant heart, giving her hope for the future and she struggles to turn away. The clock is ticking as Rachel alone fights against the inevitable, but when forces from beyond throw Ben into the middle of the fight, will she walk away, or sacrifice herself to prevent a tragedy from happening twice?

According to the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the National Diabetes Education Program, about 215,000 people younger than age 20 have diabetes. Most of them have type 1 diabetes. Although, type 2 diabetes used to be seen primarily in adults ages 45 and older, it has become more common in young people, primarily due to alarming rates of obesity in children and adolescents.
Although the teenage years can be a challenge for any child as he or she goes through sexual and emotional changes, it can be especially trying for adolescents with diabetes. Adolescents inherently want to "fit in." Being different in any way from his or her peers can be emotionally stressful, especially for a teenager.
The teen who previously complied very well with his or her diabetes management plan may now become rebellious and refuse to comply. He or she may also experience denial of the disease, or display increasingly aggressive behavior in reaction to the stress of managing diabetes, during a time in life that is challenging enough already.
One aspect of diabetes management, blood sugar control, is especially hard during adolescence. Researchers believe the growth hormone produced during adolescence to stimulate bone and muscle growth may also act as an anti-insulin agent. Blood sugar levels become harder to control, resulting in blood sugar levels that swing from too low to too high. This lack of control over blood sugar levels can be very frustrating for your teenager.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, open and honest communication between you and your teenager with diabetes is important during these years. You should recognize that your teenager wants to be treated as an adult, even if that means letting him or her take charge of his/her own diabetes management plan. Parents should also recognize that teenagers need:
Spontaneity. Adolescence is a time of spontaneity, such as stopping for pizza after school. However, the teenager with diabetes also needs to realize that managing his or her diabetes successfully will give him or her the flexibility that is craved.
Control. Teenagers want to be in charge of their own lives, and create their own identities. To achieve this control, the teenager will test limits. However, a teenager with diabetes can learn that to exert control over his or her diabetes, means learning to gain control over other parts of life.
Helping a teen cope with a chronic illness can be stressful for all family members. Consult with your health care provider if your child, your family, or you need additional support managing your teen's transition to adulthood.

Cheap Digital Photo Printing
With the advent of the digital camera, demand for low-cost digital prints has created a new online market. Cheap digital photo printing services are now major players in the photo world and a boon to frugal shutterbugs. The existence of cheap digital photo printing services eliminates the need for an expensive in-home digital printer and all the associated costs, like ink and paper, and frees consumers to spend their money on prints rather than printing tools. Moreover, cheap digital photo printing services provide the expertise and accuracy that comes with running off thousands of prints a day, as well as the benefits of professional-grade equipment.
While smaller prints are relatively pricey at SmugMug, larger prints are cheaper than at Snapfish. SmugMug also offers a video uploading service, unlimited online image storage for members, and gives iPhone users a path to upload content. Consumers and experts laud the site's technical support and social networking capabilities.
Shutterfly is a popular site for printing digital photos and offers numerous ways for users to share pictures online. Consumers can host photos on their own website and the interface is user-friendly. Users also get unlimited storage for images with the guarantee that they'll never be deleted.
Customer support is Ritzpix's strong suit, but the service suffers from several problems. Some users report that print quality is lower than similarly-priced sites, others complain about a no-cancellation policy for orders, and the site is difficult to navigate for first-time users and seems outdated.
Cheap Digital Photo Printing Buying Guide
The best cheap digital printing services are user-friendly. They offer an expansive array of products and services, including numerous print options, gift items sporting favorite images, online sharing, image storage, and more -- some of which you may not even know you need or want.
Cheap online digital photo printing services are similar to the high-end providers in many ways, but differ in certain critical respects. Cheap digital photo printing services, like Shutterfly, Snapfish.com, and SmugMug, are geared towards consumers. Costly online digital printing services, like Reed Photo and Nation Photo Lab, are meant for professionals. The quality of the prints produced by low-cost and high-cost providers is the biggest difference between the two. By most accounts, cheap digital photo printing services deliver good quality prints, but their standards are a sight lower than the expensive services. For obvious price-related reasons, the cheap online digital photo printing providers use lower quality paper and the equipment is not as technically exacting. Note, too, that the pricier websites offer more guarantees for the prints and are more likely to give frequent users membership deals that save money on bulk jobs.
Even so, as a thrifty consumer you want value for your money. So before making a decision about which cheap digital photo printing service to use, it's best to know which features each online provider offers and what kind of performance you can expect. Most cheap digital photo printing services give you a choice of finish for your prints, usually glossy or matte, and sometimes luster. You also have a pick of delivery options, ranging from overnight to six to 10 business days to one-hour pick-up at a nearby retailer; options and pricing vary by processor. There are also a host of keepsake items and gift possibilities, including mugs, t-shirts, mousepads, calendars, photo books, tote bags, and more. Cheap digital photo printing services also store your images online -- sometimes for free, sometimes forever -- and provide ways to share images online with friends and family. And finally, you want access to helpful technical support.
But don't be swayed by bells and whistles in the form of appealing services and product choices. These enticements don't compensate for poor quality prints or inconsistent results. The hallmarks of good cheap digital photo printing services are performance attributes that show attention to detail and also reveal a site's dedication to its customers. In our research we specifically looked for indications of consistency; that is, quality prints that satisfied customers time after time. We also noted the quality of each cheap digital photo printing site's technical support.
For the reasons touched on above, we identified Snapfish.com (starting at $.09/print) as the best cheap digital photo printing service, SmugMug (starting at $.19/print) and Shutterfly (starting at $.15 /print) as runners-up, and Walmart Photo Shop (starting at $.09/print) and RitzPix.com (starting at $.19/print) as services that don't quite cut it.

Though they're in the running for Best New Artist at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, it turns out Fun. are actually old pros when it comes to the awards-show circuit — and we're not just talking about their appearance at the MTV Movie Awards .
As it turns out, they were well-represented at the 1997 VMAs, in the form of (then) 14-year-old guitarist Jack Antonoff, who scored tickets through a family friend and got to sit near Rebecca Lobo and the Spice Girls . But, as it turns out, that wasn't his only memory from the show, as he told MTV News backstage at Lollapalooza.
"I was in that age where it was very cool to ask everyone for pictures. Blackstreet, Meredith Brooks — this was the year we're talking here," he said. "I go up to Fiona Apple, and this is like 10 minutes before she gives her iconic [Best New Artist acceptance] speech — some people think it was crazy, some think it was inspiring, I'm not saying either one. I ask her for a picture, and right as the camera snaps, she gives me this wet, like almost a little bit of tongue and full-lip kiss on the cheek. I swear to God. That picture exists — I'll send it to you."
It bears mention that, at press time, we've yet to actually receive photographic proof of the kiss from Antonoff (c'mon man!), and while that VMA moment may be impossible to top, that doesn't mean Fun. won't try their best when the 2012 show airs live Thursday, September 6, from Los Angeles.
"I want to kiss a child," frontman Nate Ruess laughed. "I want to kiss a child right before we go up and give a big, big angry speech."
Of course, in order to give a speech, Fun. are going to have to win a VMA , which is no sure bet, considering they're up against the likes of Frank Ocean, One Direction and the Wanted for Best New Artist (and Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Maroon 5 in the Best Pop Video category ). Still, they remain optimistic about their chances, mostly because winners are determined by fan votes ("Our fans have surprised us many times before," Antonoff smiled) but also because they're not above employing a little psychology to get the job done.
"I mean, no, I don't think we have a shot … so maybe I'll work the reverse-psychology angle: We stand a chance," Ruess said. "Not. Also it's opposite day. So maybe it's triple-reverse psychology."

This morning the NAM and the Global Business Dialogue hosted a discussion about the Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA) negotiations underway at the World Trade Organization (WTO). NAM's Linda Dempsey, Vice President for International Economic Affairs, spoke about the benefits to manufacturing of a broad EGA, mentioning that, "increased trade and global engagement is vital for our manufacturers. With only a 9 percent share of the global $11 trillion market in manufactured goods trade outside our borders, manufacturers can and should be able to expand commercial opportunities.
Policy Experts
NAM Partners with Global Business Dialogue to Promote Environmental Goods Agreement
President Obama at the Chamber
Stipulated: President Obama's address to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a good thing, showing the President's recognition that you can have employees with employers. Good luck to President Obama and the Chamber both on a successful event.
We one wonders which storyline will predominate in media reports about President Obama's address this morning to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. We speculate:
- President continues to woo big business.
- Business, President reach wary accord.
- In Chamber speech, President promotes exports, "new energy" economy to create jobs. Briefly mentions free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama.
- President renews call for lower, simpler corporate taxation.
- De facto drilling moratorium continues to hamper job growth, Chamber president tells Obama.
- Presidential motorcade travels two blocks to U.S. Chamber to avoid protesters.
- Green Bay Packer analogies spoil speech's impact, irk Steelers' fans.
- President defends economy-crushing greenhouse gas regulations, which EPA will impose on job creators despite having no statutory basis to do so and vehement opposition from policymaking branch of government, Congress, but the rules will spur new technologies, the President argues to restive audience of business owners who contemplate layoffs in response.
- Greenhouse gas regulations left unmentioned in President's address to business.
AP's preview indicates the odds-on favorite theme: "WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama continues his efforts to make peace with big business Monday with a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."
Big business, big business, big business. That's a tired and inaccurate throw-away description. Sure, the Chamber isn't the NFIB, but still: "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations. More than 96% of U.S. Chamber members are small businesses with 100 employees or fewer."
One can watch the President's address at the Chamber website.
Whom to Believe? Washington Post Editorialists or OSHA Spokeswomen?
Or neither…
Washington Post editorial, "The right balance on business regulations":
On Wednesday came the first concrete result of the president's new emphasis: withdrawal of a proposed Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule that would have required businesses to protect workers from shop-floor noise by changing schedules or installing new equipment rather than by passing out earplugs, as current rules require. Strongly backed by organized labor, the proposed rule had triggered loud business protests, especially from manufacturers, who said it would cost billions and destroy jobs. Now it will be progressives' turn to howl.
Our emphasis. Associated Press, "Feds drop plan to change workplace noise standards":
OSHA spokeswoman Diana Petterson said the noise standards decision was "completely unrelated" to Obama's order. The proposal did not involve issuing a new rule, but reinterpreting an existing rule.
The Post comments after OSHA pulled its noise plan, "Now it will be progressives' turn to howl." While it's a safe prediction that "progressives" will howl just on general principle, on the OSHA interpretation they've been quiet. We looked for expressions of outrage from organized labor and the usual suspects who supported OSHA's noise plan, and nothing.
Our guess is that the noise plan was so unworkable and business' objections so persuasive, even the activists expected it to be pulled.
P.S. OSHA Administrator David Michaels will address the American Bakers Association next week. We'll be interested to see his responses to questions about the noise rule and President Obama's regulatory instructions.
Like Your Health Care Plan? You Can't Keep It
During the consideration of health reform, we were assured repeatedly by President Obama and proponents of the behemoth euphemistically called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that if we liked our health insurance we could keep it. Many opponents of the bill, including the National Association of Manufacturers, never bought that talking point and now we know for a fact the promise will not be kept.
Ostensibly, the intent of health reform was to insure the uninsured and protect the coverage of those who get health insurance from their employer. Instead, what we got is a looming crisis for as many as 170 million Americans who could lose their coverage because their employer can't afford to provide it anymore or inadvertently runs afoul of the government. Now that's reform.
The "grandfather rule" issued by the Department of Health and Humans Services (HHS) in June essentially read like a cynical attempt to make good on a promise never intended to be kept. (HHS news release, fact sheet, rule.) In a technical sense, if your plan doesn't change at all from what it looked like on March 23, 2010, you can keep it – but how realistic is that? Not very, and they know it.
In fact, the HHS itself acknowledges that up to 70 percent of all employers will either lose their health plan by violating the new federal regulations or forgo grandfather status on their own within the first three years.
Under the rules for so-called "grandfathered plans," small businesses that purchase health insurance for their employees have been stripped of the single most important tool they have to keep their rates in line – the ability to shop around and negotiate with multiple health insurance companies to get the best coverage they can afford. If an employer switches insurance companies now, they lose their grandfather status.
If employers decide to stick it out with their current plan, other tools to keep costs in check have been taken away as well. Increase co-payments beyond limits set in the regulation? Lose your grandfathering. Increase employee cost-sharing for premiums beyond what the government tells you? Lose your grandfathering. And the HHS isn't done yet.
HHS has asked for comments on whether a plan should lose its grandfather status if it changes their prescription drug coverage or the network of physicians and hospitals beneficiaries can see. These are common alterations insurers and employers look to for cost control so their employees can afford the coverage. The NAM will be submitting comments to the HHS today on these and other issues raised by the rule. [UPDATE: Here are the NAM's comments.]
Unless significant changes are made, it seems clear what the end goal is with the so-called "grandfather rule" — design it to effectively ensure that within three years all current employer-based plans will go the way of the Dodo.
Joe Trauger is the NAM's Vice President for Human Resources Policy.
Happy Fifth Birthday, CAFTA!
The Central-American Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA, was signed into law five years ago today, August 2, 2005, (later expanded to include the Dominican Republic to become CAFTA-DR). Facing vicious opposition from labor, the anti-trade Global Trade Watch, and others, the agreement had passed Congress by just two votes. Opponents vilified the agreement, predicting it would hurt American manufacturing.
Global Trade Watch's Lori Wallach, for instance, called CAFTA a "catastrophe", "a moldering corpse waiting to be buried," and confidently predicted U.S. deficits and job losses. The U.S. International Trade Commission, the National Association of Manufacturers and other responsible organizations, on the other hand, predicted the agreement would spur U.S. exports and result in significantly stronger growth.
The record shows how wrong Wallach and other trade detractors were. As is clearly shown in the inserted graph, far from greater deficits, the CAFTA-DR agreement has changed deficits to surpluses. In the years prior to CAFTA, American manufacturers ran deficits with the CAFTA countries averaging $1.1 billion a year. After CAFTA went into effect, those deficits quickly turned to surpluses that have averaged $3.5 billion a year.
The improvement in the trade balance with CAFTA-DR occurred because the dollar value of U.S. manufactured goods exports grew faster than imports. In the years prior to the agreement, U.S. manufactured goods exports to the region grew less than 5 percent a year. In the years immediately after the agreement, they soared almost 14 percent a year. And even after the global trade collapse in 2009, manufactured goods exports to CAFTA-DR so far this year have boomed 30 percent, much faster than the 22 percent increase of U.S manufactured goods globally.
It is time for Lori Wallach to stop talking about a "failed CAFTA trade policy." The only thing that is failing here is her rhetoric.
Sen. Dodd's Financial Regulatory Plan Casts Too Wide of Net
The Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 unveiled this afternoon by Senate Banking Committee Chair Chris Dodd (D-CT) raises more questions and concerns for U.S. manufacturers. For one, manufacturers are disappointed that the new proposal does not make it clear that only businesses that are "predominantly engaged" in financial activities are covered by the overall reform.
Even though the thrust of the reform measure is to restore responsibility and accountability in the nation's financial system, broadly worded definitions in the bill arguably could pull some non-financial companies into the new regulatory regime. Covered companies are defined as those with "substantial" financial activities and the Federal Reserve Board gets to decide who falls into the definition. Manufacturers that engage in routine financial activities as a small part of their main business, e.g., a global manufacturer that manages a foreign exchange trading operation, an equipment manufacturer that provides financing for customers, are concerned that they could be pulled into the systemic risk regulatory regime, drawing needed capital from their businesses and imposing new administrative burdens.
On the derivatives front, manufacturers were pleased to see that the definition of a "major swap participant" excludes OTC derivatives used to hedge business risk. Unfortunately, because it is not clear that business end-users who do not pose risks to the financial system are excluded from the definition, some manufacturers are concerned they could be considered a major swap participant. Another concern for manufacturers are requirements that they post margin on bilateral, customized derivatives contracts. End-users like manufactures do not pose a threat to financial stability and should be able to continue to access OTC derivatives without tying up valuable working capital.
On a brighter note, there may be more changes on the derivatives provisions during the Committee's markup session, which could happen as early as next week. In comments this afternoon, Sen. Dodd noted that Sens. Judd Gregg (R-NH) and Jack Reed (D-RI) are working on a revised derivatives section that the committee could vote on next week.
Dorothy Coleman is vice president for tax and domestic economic policy at the National Association of Manufacturers.
Report from Geneva: Brazil — We'd Rather Posture than Negotiate
(Frank Vargo, the National Association of Manufacturers's vice president for international economic affairs, is blogging from Geneva this week at the ministerial meeting of the WTO. )
The WTO 7th Ministerial Meeting opened yesterday afternoon, with Director General Lamy calling for unity (remarks), and minister after minister urging that the Doha Round conclude in 2010. U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk told the gathering not to confuse process for substance and urged countries to call for a round that would generate greater market access for all. (Kirk's remarks.) There were some signs of support for this, with some ministers referring to ambition and balance, and some suggesting that we should consider different approaches, since we really hadn't gotten very far. But despite these welcome signs, there has not been what one could call a rising tide demanding a stronger outcome.
Instead of unity, the gulf between those who want a strong outcome and those who want to hold back became even more obvious. Rather than offering any indications the time had come to begin serious negotiations, Brazil's Minister Amorim instead chose to come out attacking the United States and re-writing history. Amorim accused the United States of "delaying the conclusion of the round because they want to have some few dollars more in some specific sections." Wrapping Brazil in the flag of the least developed countries, he said that reducing trade barriers would hurt tariff revenues in the poorest countries and impair their ability to cope with climate change obligations. (Reuters coverage.)
What's wrong with this picture? Well, first, once again Amorim implied that the least developed countries will have to cut their tariffs, which is untrue. Aside from the advanced developing countries like Brazil that have become global export figures, the developing countries don't have to do anything in the Round.
Second, Amorim again is seeking to promote his revisionist view of Doha history by stating the United States is asking for new concessions, ignoring the multitude of negotiating sessions over the past eight years in which the United States has consistently said the industrial package had to be viewed as a whole – the tariff cutting formula, sectoral agreements, and exceptions from tariff cuts.
There is nothing new here. The United States has pressed consistently for both industrial and advanced developing countries to cut their barriers, while Brazil has wanted to keep its tariff protection. Amorim expressed horror that the United States thinks the Doha Round is about opening markets.
Third, Amorim stated that under what's on the table now, Brazil is already committed to cut its applied tariff rates more than the United States, so "it is unreasonable to expect that concluding the round would involve additional unilateral concessions from developing countries." That's not so.
WTO data show that the formulas would have the United States cut its applied tariffs in half, while Brazil would cut its applied tariffs only by about 1/8 – from an average of 11 percent to about 9.7 percent. Moreover, Brazil's tariffs would stay at an average of 11 percent for nine years, and only ten years out would fall to 9.7 percent. And, get this – even then only about 40% of Brazil's tariffs would take any cut at all. What kind of market access is that?
This is what caused former Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Peter Allgeier to once quip that he finally understood what NAMA (Non-Agricultural Market Access) stood for – it meant "No Additional Market Access."
It is time for Brazil to stop the rhetoric, show the leadership worthy of a major global player, and sit down and negotiate a deal that will have Brazil grant significant new market access and get significant new market access in return – and do this in services as well. You think? (continue reading…)
GAO Study Confirms NAM's Argument: Trade Agreements Work!
The just-released Government Accountability Office (GAO) in-depth study of the effect of U.S. Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) provides official confirmation of what the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has been saying: FTAs work for America. The GAO says that FTAs have largely accomplished the U.S. objectives of achieving better access to markets, strengthening trade rules, and have increased trade. Moreover, the FTAs have resulted in a larger share of foreign markets for many leading agricultural and manufactured goods.
The NAM has been pointing out to all who will listen that, contrary to what anti-trade agreement legislators assume, FTAs have not been responsible for the large U.S. trade deficit. U.S. Census Bureau trade data show that overall manufactured goods trade with NAFTA, CAFTA, and the other U.S. FTAs was never more than about 10 percent of the deficit, and that figure has been shrinking steadily. By 2007 it was 5 percent of the deficit – and last year our manufactured goods trade with FTA partners moved into surplus.
Yes, in 2008, U.S. manufactured goods trade with FTA partners – far from being the cause of our deficit – was in surplus by $21 billion. At the same time, though, our manufactured goods trade with countries that have not agreed to enter into trade agreements with us was in deficit by $477 billion. China accounted for $277 billion of the deficit, and the European Union accounted for nearly $100 billion.
Check the data for yourself. The NAM has started providing the data on our website at http://www.nam.org/TradeData/ManufacturedGoodsTradeData.aspx. The data are updated every month to provide year-to date figures. Through June 2009, the surplus with our FTA partners was twice as large as it was in the first half of 2008!
The graph below says it all: It's time to dispel the myth that FTAs cause our trade deficit and recognize what the GAO has confirmed – FTAs work for America.
China Takes a Hit at the WTO
The World Trade Organization (WTO) sided with the United States Wednesday and slapped China for its restrictions on selling copyrighted U.S. films, music, books and other media. (WTO report.) China has been forcing companies to route imports through Chinese state-owned or controlled enterprises, while restricting reading material and music. The U.S. argues that this opens the door to the vast amount of Chinese counterfeiting in these media. And we're talking about real money for U.S. producers –$3.6 billion lost sales in China of legitimate media in just 2008 alone.
A very important case filed by the U.S. and the European Union in June of this year against China for restricting exports of raw materials is still in the early stages. The U.S. is concerned that the Chinese export restraints hurt U.S. "downstream producers" of goods by limiting access and raising world market prices for the raw materials, while lowering the prices that domestic Chinese producers have to pay. The case covers nine materials: bauxite, coke, fluorspar, magnesium, manganese, silicon carbide, silicon metal, yellow phosphorus and zinc. (USTR news release.)
The National Association of Manufacturers has long supported the use of WTO cases as a legitimate trade enforcement tool after negotiations fail. The seven cases brought against China since it joined the WTO in 2001 have produced results in areas like semiconductors, foreign financial information suppliers, packaging paper and auto parts. Although it is always preferable to avoid a litigation process, the use of WTO cases doesn't mean the U.S.-China trade relationship is crumbling – it's the way trade disputes between mature trading partners are settled – without a costly trade war.

June Data Confirms Manufactured Goods Trade is Stabilizing
The sharp decline in U.S. exports and imports of manufactured goods appears to be stabilizing, according to the National Association of Manufacturers' (NAM) analysis of the June trade data released today by the Department of Commerce. (Commerce factsheet)
Manufactured goods exports were $67 billion in June, seasonally adjusted, marking the fourth month in a row of exports being at about $67 billion after falling sharply late last year and early in 2009. Seasonally-adjusted imports were $93 billion, also in line with the average for the past four months.
The manufactured goods balance was stable as well, about at the -$25 billion average deficit for the past four months. That marks a sharp improvement from the roughly -$45 billion peak monthly deficits in 2006, as is apparent in the graph below. The sharp improvement has resulted from exports performing better than imports – in part because of the drop in U.S. demand for automobile and consumer goods imports.
While there is hope the stability in U.S. trade marks the end of the sharp decline in U.S. exports, which are off 25 percent from a year ago, signs of significant growth are not yet apparent. For example, in the critical capital goods sector that normally accounts for half of U.S. manufactured goods exports, only 14 of the 32 product groups showed growth in June.

Celebrate summer with the City of Somerville at "Seize the Summer," the July installment of the city's seasonal SomerStreets festival, on Sunday, July 28 from noon to 4 p.m. between Walnut and Cedar Streets on Highland Ave.
Seize the Summer is the second of the 2013 SomerStreets celebrations, with the first event having drawn more than 3,000 attendees in June along East Broadway. For this unique street fair, where "roads are closed to cars and open to you," programming includes: a family bike ride, health & fitness fair; live music; family-friendly activities; craft vendors; food and more.
SomerStreets is the City of Somerville's take on the internationally-renowned Open Streets concept, closing busy city streets to vehicles, and opening them up for cycling, walking, dancing, running, and other modes of activity. Through SomerStreets, the city and its community partners aim to promote and encourage easy access to physical activity, fresh foods, and reconnecting with neighborhoods and businesses and their unique cultural elements in a thriving urban environment.
"Somerville has become a hub for innovation, for unique urban living experience, and for its festivals. SomerStreets celebrates each of those ideals and so much more, bringing the community together to really experience the culture, quality and flavor of different neighborhoods while encouraging walkability and bikeability," said Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone. "Fresh off of another successful ArtBeat and the first SomerStreets of the year along East Broadway, Seize the Summer promises to be another fun-filled family celebration."
Along Highland Ave., local businesses and organizations including the American Red Cross, Cambridge Health Alliance, the Center for Arts at the Armory, the Somerville YMCA, the Somerville Public Library, Somerville Fire Department, Naked Juice, and Assembly Row among others, will partner with the City to provide activities for children and adults of all ages. Activities will include, but are not limited to:
• Bike decorating & family bike ride (leaves at 1 p.m. from City Hall)
• Mini golf
• Live music at two locations (The Center for Arts at the Armory and Highland Kitchen)
• CHA Health and Wellness Fair
• Craft Fair at the Armory
• Corn Hole Tournament (to register for the event go to: http://www.bostoncornhole.com/tournaments/seize-the-summer)
• Food
• Arts & crafts, games
• Painting, and much more!
In order to ensure public safety at the event, road closures and parking bans will be in effect.
• Highland Avenue (Walnut Street to Cedar Street), closed to all vehicular traffic 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; no parking 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
• City Hall Concourse and Central Library parking lots, no parking 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
MBTA buses will be rerouted from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Residents who live directly on Highland Avenue may call (857) 523-9017 in advance or on the day of the event and city volunteers will assist you in leaving/returning to your property safely during the event.
All SomerStreets events will run from noon to 4 p.m., rain or shine.
1 Response » to "Seize the Summer this Sunday"
Be warned. If you need to go to Somerville Hospital, Somerville library, the Y, the laundromat, the Little Sisters of the Poor, or any of the restaurants or independent businesses along Highland ave., unless you can walk there you are out of luck. Oh, and please don't plan a fire near the Highland Ave. fire station for this afternoon, okay? If you need to take the bus to Lechmere, you are also out of luck. Beter luck next week. This is all so that kids can play in the street? I have always taught my kids NOT to play in the street.

Residual income home business opportunities enable you to do the work once and get paid forever.
The best way to build a residual income from home is to join business opportunities that pay monthly recurring commissions and to setup automated traffic sources by using evergreen methods such as article marketing, blogging and video marketing.
Combine the 2 and you have a residual income home business opportunity that can be very lucrative indeed.
=> Click Here For My TOP Earner Online!
Residual Income Home Business Opportunities
Search engine traffic is one of the best recurring traffic streams to tap into. By applying a few basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques you can rank your websites on the front page of Google for specific product name keywords. Then when customers are researching these products online there is a good chance they will come across your content and click your affiliate links.
When you have quite a few of these pages ranked on Google for product name keywords then it will be hard to stop these daily commissions arriving!
Another great way to ensure a daily stream of traffic to your websites is with free content marketing in the form of blogging and article marketing. Commit to posting daily keyword targeted posts to your blogs and then converting this content to articles and syndicating to the top article directories.
Over the course of a few months you will have hundreds of pages of content on your blog and hundreds of articles syndicated across the internet. There is bound to a healthy amount of daily visitors arriving from all of this content.
The hardest part of this monthly residual income formula on the internet is establishing this consistent flow of traffic. But when you have put in the initial marketing then it will be hard to stop the traffic, leads and commissions coming in.
Residual Income Home Business
Advertising Revenue Sharing – There are quite a few passive online business opportunities available today that are geared towards building a passive income. Instead of actively promoting products as an internet marketer, you are invited to invest into an advertising revenue share of the company. So the product in question is traffic in the form of banner advertising and text ad impressions. The companies make money by reselling this space to their clients, and they pay their affiliates a share of these profits.
Blogging – I am a big fan of online traffic generation methods that involve doing the work once and getting daily visitors as a result for potentially years to come. Blogging is one of the best automated traffic methods to achieve this. If you commit to writing daily keyword targeted blog posts then over the course of a few months you will have daily visitors arriving. You can build a residual income from these blog visitors by promoting affiliate products and from the advertising space you sell on your blog.
Online Network Marketing Opportunities – One of the best ways to generate an automated online income is to create your own information product and then have lots of affiliates promoting this for you. The problem with this method is that it is hard for the typical internet marketing newbie to create their own products and to recruit affiliates to sell it. But by building a downline in an online network marketing company you get to leverage the power of a team to generate this same effect without actually having to own the product itself.

Wine Matches Made in Heaven
Get ready to fall in love: Wine Enthusiast transformed five traditional wine–and-food marriages by spicing up the recipes and adding new pairing partners. Sourced straight from the expert palates of top chefs and sommeliers, these dishes will heat up your holiday.
Recipe courtesy William Crandall, executive chef, Azul at Mandarin Oriental, Miami
Instead of oysters and Chablis, try Malpeque oysters with sparkling sake. Inspired by a delicate oyster dish that incorporates trout roe and effervescence powder for a surprising, sparkling effect, this DIY version provides its pop by including San Pellegrino.
4 chilled Malpeque oysters, freshly shucked and cleaned (shells reserved)
2 tablespoons trout roe (smoked, if available)
2 teaspoons sudachi juice (available at Asian markets)
3 tablespoons San Pellegrino sparkling water
½ teaspoon yuzu kosho (available at Asian markets)
4 purple shiso leaves (or other decorative, edible garnish)
Place freshly shucked and cleaned oysters on the half shell. Garnish each oyster with roe and drizzle with sudachi juice and San Pellegrino. Add a dab of yuzu kosho and place one shiso leaf or other edible garnish on each oyster. Serve immediately. Serves 2.
The Pairing:
Sommelier Todd Phillips recommends Gekkeikan Zipang Junmai Sparkling Sake to match with the sparkling oyster. "It's an exotic twist on the traditional oyster pairing," says Phillips. "This sake is elegant, with slight notes of citrus to go with the sudachi and yuzu."
