Movin' On Up
It's been quite awhile since a post has appeared here. But that's because I've been super busy. I've gone from being pretty isolated and not knowing anyone to having my calendar full of commitments and knowing a whole lot of people in Baton Rouge. Weird what quitting a job will do.
Most recently, we've been busy because we bought a house. Yes, we pulled the trigger. At Christmas season, we weren't even considering doing it, but by early February, we had made an offer! Funny old world, isn't it? I'm not sure what pushed us over the edge, but our new and noisy neighbors (next door, not in the apartment building ) were probably part of the deal. We found a tiny, older house in a neighborhood we like. It's in one of the older neighborhoods in BR, full of houses up on blocks, which is a predominant architecture style down here. Ours looks like a grandma's house, complete with asbestos shingles (but hey, they last forever!).
It's a tiny house, about the same sq. footage as our apartment, but with a nice backyard and a big storage shed (which has some leakage problems, as we discovered in the recent deluge of last week).
We painted the interior, since the previous owners had selected a condiment color scheme (mustard yellow for the living room, ketchup red for the hallway, and a combo of the two for the kitchen…yum!). We painted the living room a pale blue, and the hallway will be white soon. The kitchen is on a lower priority, because the paint is actually in good shape, unfortunately.
The current project is getting some of the scarier electrical outlets updated. The electrician came on Thursday and will be back Monday to replace the scary, nonfunctional bathroom ceiling vent/heater/fan with something that works and doesn't involve exposed heating elements.
The house was built probably in the 1950s, but the seller didn't seem to know the actual date of construction, which I found odd until I met her. She and her husband were very, very young, and had clearly been fine with living with non-functional outlets, scary vent fans, and other annoyances. They moved to a suburb, which is what most people do here.
The street is nice; it doesn't go through, so there isn't much traffic. We attended a neighborhood watch meeting right after moving in, and it was nice to meet all the neighbors. It's a mix of older people and younger couples (about our age). Our next door neighbor, Jennifer, is super nice, and turns out to be a friend of my friend Tam. (See? I know so many people now!)
I'm looking forward to getting the kitchen painted and putting in some raised beds so I can get some veggies growing!
This month has also been crazy because I have been volunteering with an organization that is working to save the BR bus system. The current version is due to shut down in July, having run out of funding for the last time. There's no dedicated funding source (i.e. tax), and getting white people to approve a tax is like pulling teeth, as we all know. So, this morning, and for the next couple of weeks, we spent our Saturday knocking on doors in north BR (the black side of town…this city is crazy segregated) and asking people to go and vote next month.
It was not as excruciating as I expected. I was raised going door-to-door with the SDA church, can-collecting and collecting money at Christmas (Ingathering, *shudder*), which I HATED. This wasn't nearly as bad, probably since I actually believed in what I was doing.
I'll have to be back out there next week, and the next. Then there's phone banking, and I'll probably volunteer on election day to give people rides to their polling stations (since the bus system sucks so much!!). And then I'll take some time off.
All in all, it's been a very busy spring. I'm trying to keep a photographic record of our work on the house. Hopefully I can post some pics here as the work progresses. I'm loving our newly tranquil living room, though.
The kitchen paint colors: here's what I'm thinking. There's a chair rail, so I was thinking white below the rail, and some bright retro-ish color above: bright turquoise or yellow. The floors are recently redone (yay!) in a super ugly, brown speckled ceramic tile (boo). Bathroom too (boo). Actually the bathroom is the worst part of the house. The tub is going to need some serious work soon: lots of mold in the tiles, the caulking is bad, and the tub itself is old and nasty. The previous owners tried to update it by putting in a gigantic vanity and a HUGE mirror, which only makes the room look even smaller than it is (it's pretty small). The fixtures they picked were made for a classy house built in 1998, not a retro-ish house built in 1950. So, I hope we can redo it altogether. Sounds like fun!
Fall in BR, 2011
Well, Ceri's efforts at NaBloPoMo have inspired me to post something, anything, in the month of November. Her post about snow pushed me over the edge to add something to this chronicle here. So here are some things going on in Louisiana in the fall.
1. It's citrus season! One of my favorite seasons here in Louisiana, and definitely something to go in the "pros" column when I tally up reasons for and against living here. The satsumas we get at the farmer's market are like candy, so sweet and perfect. We've been eating them by the bagful, which are insanely cheap for organic citrus. Of course, the farmer who sells them ends every transaction with, "Thank you ma'am. God bless you," and he includes Bible verses printed on the bags of oranges, but those are small prices to pay for the yummy satsumas. And grapefruits. And kumquats.
2. It's also strawberry season! Round 2! Yes, here in Louisiana we get two strawberry seasons and two tomato seasons (those are in season right now too). I hope to elicit some jealousy from this item (pretend that you don't remember that this state also managed to elect David Vitter. And then re-elect him). I currently have a half-flat of strawberries waiting to be sliced and frozen.
3. It's been annoyingly warm, though, which doesn't really put me in the mood for Thanksgiving. It's been over 80 degrees all week, with high humidity, which makes for sandals, shorts, air conditioning, etc. It's a weird feeling to walk through the farmer's market and see piles of winter squashes and oranges, while wearing my Chacos and a T-shirt.
4. We've both been sick. Again. BNB brought a cold back from a conference, which really laid him low. I caught it last Friday, and it's been kinder to me. One weird symptom of this cold has been a vague, inexplicable sense of melancholy. So, I've had a little sore throat, some sniffles and congestion, and a little bit of sadness. I'm feeling better now, and so is BNB, though his voice is still kind of rough.
5. We had Thanksgiving in Alabama at BNB's mom's childhood house. It was very nice, the most relaxing family holiday I have ever experienced. I didn't know that the phrase "family holiday" didn't have to be an oxymoron. Some pictures will be posted on flickr soon. BNB's dad smokes the turkey, along with a pork loin, so that is always a treat. Mmmm, smoked turkey. I brought homemade bread, apple crisp, and a winter salad (cabbage, apples, and walnuts), and his mom made dressing, sweet potato "casserole" (I enclose that word in quotation marks because it's really more of a pie that is eaten along with the main meal), and Brussels sprouts. The full, traditional meal. I'm fine with that. No bread, dressing, or "casserole" for me, but that doesn't bother me when there are so many other things.
6. Kitchen-wise, I've been having some fun. I've been working away at learning to cook (and eat) liver, which is going surprisingly well. I read somewhere that you have to eat something up to 14 times before you can learn to like it, so I'm experimenting. I think we've only had it 10 times or so, and I can honestly say that I've discovered some ways to have liver that I actually enjoy. I've been "breading" it with cornmeal and rice flour and pan frying it very briefly on each side, and having a strong-flavored sauce on the side. We like it with a red chile sauce or with my homemade BBQ sauce, which is spicy and vinegar-y. I haven't been a fan of the traditional liver-n-onions recipe so far. I have a sack full of chicken hearts and livers in the fridge (farmer's market!) so now I need to experiment with those.
7. I MAY have got a job playing piano at a church. This is not certain yet, because it depends on the church's budget for the coming year. But I'm crossing my fingers because church jobs are so easy; the money is good for the amount of work you do. More on this later.
8. I've been making gallons of sauerkraut because I've discovered that I LOVE this stuff. I've been known to snack on it, with nothing else, just spoonfuls out of the jar. I MAY have just had three or four spoonfuls just a minute ago.
So, that's life in BR for now. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of food and fun.
Amsterdam vs. Baton Rouge: Round 2
One day we spent half an hour resting our feet at a cafe across from the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. We sat outside to enjoy the sun's brief appearance at a cafe at the edge of a canal. The street along our side of the canal was one way, and the section of the canal was under some construction. Bicycles, motorbikes, and cars were swishing past us.
A truck with some kind of construction-related purpose crawled past and eventually, at the corner just past our table, came to a complete stop, for no immediately apparent reason. Quickly, the street behind filled with cars. (The bikes and motorbikes just walked up onto the sidewalk to pass.) The line of cars sat still for 4 or 5 minutes before the man in the car just behind the construction truck gave up and turned off his motor. A few minutes later, an older man got out of the car and wandered up to the truck. He stood on the corner for awhile, then spoke at some length with the drivers of the truck. They stood together companionably smoking for another 15 minutes or so, then the older man meandered back to his car and got in. Everything sat quietly for another 5 or 10 minutes. The truck finally made a right turn, the street was cleared, and the line of cars proceeded down the street.
This may not sound too amazing, but the most striking thing about this little scene wasn't that a construction truck would make a traffic jam, but that during this entire drama, almost 30 minutes, not one single car horn was blown. When I think of what Baton Rouge drivers would do in that situation, I have to laugh. Drivers in BR would go apoplectic with rage if they had come to a dead stop for half an hour. I would have expected a least a few spontaneous combustions from seething rage. Drivers here get high blood pressure if other drivers don't floor the gas pedal at the first hint of the green light.
I Threw Up in Brussels (and Chicago)
It's not everyone who can say that they threw up in Brussels, Belgium, but I'm one of the few and proud who can.
We went on a trip to Amsterdam and Brussels last week. It was a sort of delayed honeymoon slash business trip for BNB (he was at a conference in Brussels). We went to Amsterdam first, then to Brussels.
Amsterdam was beautiful and lovely. We joked about how I'd found my people: tall, blond, blue-eyed. It was eerie…I fit in like a pea in a pod. Everyone was tall, and for one of the rare moments in my life, I didn't feel like a giant most of the time.
We loved the bike culture. Everyone says that, but it was just amazing. There were hundreds, thousands of bikes: everyone rode a bike, everywhere. There were bikes chained to everything, bike bells dinging everywhere. Bikes have the right of way, can you believe it? After bikes come pedestrians: we kept forgetting about that. We'd wait at a crosswalk, and cars would screech to a stop before we'd even put a toe in the street. We'd walk across and they'd continue on their way, no horn-blowing, no hand gestures.
I loved the lack of fetishization in the Amsterdam bike world. It's like everyone is driving a 10-year old Ford Focus and nobody drives a Porche. Everyone just wants the bike to get them where they're going: nothing fancy, no bike clothes, no helmets, but big baskets and saddlebags. We kept poking each other to point out the 60-ish man wearing a three piece suit, riding a rusty bike down the street. The street where we stayed was very quiet except for the bikes clanking, grinding, squeaking, and groaning as they bounced down the cobblestone street. Amazing.
We saw the Anne Frank museum, which was great, but the line was down the block by 9 am. It was really eerie to be in the place the I'd read about so many times. I think that reading Anne Frank's diary was one of my first brushes with real death: at age 10 or 11, I was reading along about the hiding place, and suddenly the book stops with just a notice that Anne's diary ended here because they were captured and sent to a concentration camp. It was kind of staggering for me, and it was pretty chilling to see the place that it happened.
We also went to Rembrandt's house, the Van Gogh museum, and the Rijksmuseum., all of which were impressive and educational. If any Alert Readers go to Amsterdam, I highly recommend Rembrandt's house: we saw a very cool demonstration of Rembrandt-era etching and printmaking, and we even took the audio tour, which I rarely do.
We went to Brussels before I was ready to leave Amsterdam, but I'm sure it would have been a good trip anyway. Except I got sick. The day after we arrived in Brussels, I got a little cold. It wasn't too serious, and I am convinced that I could have worked around it with a little extra rest and some hot tea. BNB was at his conference on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon, and all day Friday. We planned a nice dinner on Friday night, and a day of sightseeing together on Saturday. I poked around on my own Wednesday and Thursday. I went to the European Union district on Friday morning, which was intimidating: lots of very big glass and metal buildings. I went back to our apartment for some lunch, and that's where the real trouble started. I made a smoked salmon omelette, and an hour later I was really wishing that I hadn't.
I got some kind of food-related bug, which had me vomiting and worse all afternoon and evening on Friday, and some on Saturday. By the time BNB got back from his conference, all ready for a nice date, I was in bed, wearing all of my sweaters, shaking and pale and sweaty, watching British quiz shows on TV to distract myself from the unpleasantness.
By Saturday, the violence had decreased, but I definitely wasn't up to any sightseeing, unless you count looking out the window a few times (we did have a pretty sweet view over the rooftops). We were a little nervous about leaving to come home on Sunday, considering the recent vomiting, but we got up at 3:30 am on Sunday to catch our plane. We had a multi-stage trip, and most of it went pretty smoothly: taxi to the train station (buses weren't running at 3 am), train to the airport, plane to London, plane to Chicago, plane to New Orleans, drive back to BR.
I was a total weakling, so BNB had to carry the heavy stuff all by himself, and lift suitcases into the overhead compartments. We did manage to get bulkhead seats for our trans-Atlantic trip, so I didn't have bruises on my knees from the seatback in front of me (when they lean their seats back without warning, the seat crashes straight into my knees, every time). In Chicago I did have one more episode of illness, but I was luckily near a bathroom at the time.
Our stopover in London was short because we were delayed in Brussels, so we didn't have to wait long for our flight. It took forever to get to the flight, however, because of what I thought was pretty excessive passport checking. Here's how it went: we arrived from Belgium and took a bus straight to a different terminal. In the new terminal, we went through security, scanners, x-rays as usual. On the other side, we walked to passport control. Stamped, no problem. We walked to our gate. The gates are enclosed rooms, instead of open seating areas. At the door, we handed over passports and boarding cards to the agents. They waved us past. We walked 10 feet and stopped at another agent. She checked our passports and boarding cards, asked us a few questions about who packed our bags, and waved us through. We walked 4 feet (not exaggerating, really) to another agent who checked our passports and boarding cards and waved us through. To ANOTHER AGENT 3 feet away, who AGAIN checked our documents. When I say they were close together, I'm not exaggerating. The whole space containing these four different passport checks was about the size of an average high school classroom. Excessive?
Then I had to leave the area to use the restroom (no toilets in the gate area). They kept my passport, and I ran down the hall to the handicapped bathroom (couldn't find any other). When I returned, my punishment (I guess) for leaving the gate area was that I had to have a (pretty half-assed) physical patdown by a super-bored agent. Then I got my passport back. It was bizarre, and I wasn't feeling too great either. At one point I thought I was going to pass out; the gate area had about 25 seats for the couple hundred people who were going to be on the flight, and the whole place was packed like sardines.
Anyway, the trip was good and I enjoyed it, but I was extremely happy to be home. I've been kind of sick all week, but I'm feeling better now. Finally.
Low Pressure
I've been meaning to say something about the wonderful, lovely low pressure system that has camped out right on top of BR for the last week. It's been a gift from the weather gods, a Labor Day miracle.
Tropical Storm Lee managed to give us a little rain, a little wind, but not much else. On the last day of the storm, however, this cool, clear air blew in, apparently straight from the mouth of heaven. It's been like that ever since: zero humidity, cool wind, warm sun. Weather like they have in other parts of the country, and like we have in, oh I don't know, JANUARY. But never, ever in September.
In September, we're usually still suffering here, sweating through every day, our A/C pumping the humidity out of the apartment, while to the north people are starting to look for apples, frost, pumpkins, crisp mornings, and orange leaves. When national publications start talking about the "end of summer," I laugh bitterly because I know that the end of our summer will be in October. Or November. Yes, in September we're just getting started with our fall crop of tomatoes and, a little later, the second crop of strawberries. That's right…we have two growing seasons! I guess that's a plus.
I recently had an insight into my mental state during Louisiana summers, compared to Urbana winters. Every year we've been here so far (this is the fourth autumn in Louisiana for us), it feels exactly like it used to feel in Illinois when spring FINALLY appeared after years of dark, cold winter. I used to forget what it felt like to be alive, to enjoy the sun. Every spring it was the same: one day when the air warmed up and the sun stayed in the sky longer, I'd take a breath, look around, and wake up.
That's been happening to me every year in Louisiana after the weather breaks at the end of summer. When the humidity and oppressive heat finally start to break, I have a moment when I feel like I'm coming back to life after a long hibernation.
And so it has been this time too (though I'm afraid this little weather gift is just a teaser…the summer will be back next week for just a little longer). I've been walking to work with a spring in my step, humming songs under my breath, racing around doing projects like I have boundless energy. It's been wonderful. We've had our windows open for the last week too, something very rare and special. (We'd sleep with the window open in the bedroom, but we just got some noisy neighbors who like to sit on their deck and talk very loudly.)
If this weather lasts any longer, I'm going to have to start buying squash and making soup. I'm going to start looking around for apples (which we don't get, boo) and cider and wishing for crisp, frosty mornings.
I still haven't worn a jacket yet, but I've been wearing jeans for the first time since MAY, if you can believe that. It's just too hot for jeans in the summers.
Here's to jackets, scarves, frost, apples, pumpkins, and boots! I can't wait to wear boots.
End of Sabbatical
My summer sabbatical was great. No job, lots of time to cook. Just about my ideal. But puttering around doesn't really bring in the dough, so I was trolling the craigslist job ads at random occasionally. I ran across an ad by accident and applied for the job before I could talk myself out of it. I had two interviews for this part time administrative assistant (i.e. secretary) position (!!), but in the end, I got the job. I sort of ended up working there before I had really committed myself to the idea of even getting a job.
At any rate, I've just completed my third week there, although the first week was only very sporadic because they had a deadline to meet, and didn't really want my bumbling presence (fine by me).
I wish I could talk more about it here because the potential for funny stories is so great. I hesitate to do it, though, because they're all very kind and genuine people. It's in a women's spirituality center, and my job is mainly secretary-ing, which I'm not minding at the moment. The actual job requirements are pretty simple, but since it's part time, there's no time for anything other than work. In a shocking turnaround from my last job, in which I could have accomplished my usual workday in about three hours of real work, this job packs about 6 or even 8 hours of work into 4 or 5 hours of clock time. It really does make the day pass quickly.
I applied for this job for one main reason: it's only a mile away from my apartment. This means that I can easily walk, ride my bike, take the bus, or drive if necessary. Finding a job like that in this city is very difficult. I also like the women who use the place. I don't necessarily share their devotion to New Age book studies, labyrinth walking, and finding our animal totems, but as I said, they're all very kind people. They also offer the cheapest yoga classes in the city, so I'm going to enroll as soon as I get the job under my belt a bit.
The potential for funny stories is so great that I'm going to be tempted to share here, but I won't. I'll have to tell you all in person.
Anyway, I think I'm going to like working here, and I'm definitely going to like the part time hours. Eight hours of dozing is hard on me, turns out.
A Series of Unfortunate Phone Calls #2
We're hunkered down, waiting for Tropical Storm Thirteen, as I prefer to call it. Rather than charging up my crank-powered lantern, though, I'm going to transcribe the crazed phone calls. I'm sure all Alert Readers have been waiting with bated breath. ("Huh? What phone calls?")
Phone Call #1: 7/15/11, 7:31 PM

I have not invited many people. But I have invited you. I'll see you tonight at 7:30. All seats are free and you MAY bring a friend.
Number three was the one that made me want to save these. It's even weirder in the real transcription. I have no idea what it means. Has anyone else ever heard of Christians needing sheets off the beds of our loved ones??

Family Businesses
By Andy Logan

Representative Mom
Balancing Budgets, Bill, and Baby in the U.S. Congress.
By Susan Molinari with Elinor Burkett.
Illustrated. 291 pp. New York:

An Autobiography.
By George E. Pataki with Daniel Paisner.
Illustrated. 224 pp. New York:
Viking. $24.95.
In his long years in the House of Representatives, Tip O'Neill must have committed some wisdom other than ''all politics is local,'' but that's the judgment that is permanently linked to his name. Nowadays, of course, all of once distant Washington, and the White House particularly, are treated as local addresses. However, a few publishers believe there is still some interest in politicians who operate in arenas some distance from the Oval Office. On the chance that this is a right call, two New York Republicans have obliged them with some occasionally enlightening results: Susan Molinari and George Pataki.
As Molinari notes in ''Representative Mom'' (the ''Mom'' being in honor of daughter Susan Ruby, age 2), politics has been her family's business. Its base is Staten Island, the least populous and most white of New York City's five boroughs. Her paternal grandfather was the first Italian-born member of the New York State Assembly. Her father, Guy, was elected to the Assembly in 1974 and, six years later, to Congress.
In 1985, Susan, widely known as ''Guy's doll'' because of her 5-foot-2-inch stature, at 27 became the only Republican member of the New York City Council. Eventually, Guy Molinari, having declared himself tired of the commute from Washington, got himself elected Staten Island's Borough President. Arrangements were then made (in 1990) to have Susan Molinari slide into her father's vacant House seat.
The family political roster expanded in 1994 when she married a fellow Representative, Bill Paxon, from suburban Buffalo, a devout member of Newt Gingrich's inner circle. When Paxon asked her to marry him and gave her a ring, he did so on the floor of the House when it was in session. ''His political career,'' Susan Molinari writes, ''wasn't just a job to him. It was his entire life.''
The high point of her time in Congress followed the 1994 Republican landslide, for which Paxon, famous for his campaigning talents, was given considerable credit. With Gingrich's assent, she became the fifth-ranking member of the House leadership, helped write the Contract With America and delivered the keynote address at the 1996 Republican National Convention. Throughout her so-so convention speech, her husband and father sat together near the podium, her father feeding Susan Ruby a bottle. The large tag on his jacket read, not ''Family Values,'' but ''Molinari 2000.''
The most memorable section of this book, written with Elinor Burkett, the author of ''The Right Women,'' deals with a spectacle for which Molinari had a prominent seat. It featured House Republicans and Newt Gingrich, despondent after the Contract With America did not set off the worldwide revolution he had counted on. Other House leaders, including Paxon, began to meet regularly to figure out how Gingrich's change of status -- if it should come to that -- could be handled in an orderly fashion. The coup attempt -- if it can be called that, and many did -- floundered, and Paxon became what he himself described as a political leper.
At a large public meeting of House Republicans a few days later, Sonny Bono tried to cheer Paxon up with a speech about how in the end he had been able to get over even his breakup with Cher -- a reminder that not only is all politics local but it is also a department of show biz.
Susan Molinari asks toward the end of her book how she could work ''with people who found it convenient to shove my husband out of the picture.'' Fortunately, she didn't have to. CBS News had asked her to become a news co-anchor, the kind of assignment that she insisted she had dreamed of all her life. She notes that television is much harder than it looks; last month the network announced that what it called an experiment had ended. In February Paxon had announced that he would never run for office again, explaining that he needed to spend more time with Susan Ruby, an expression that even some of the most faithful believers in family values seemed to have trouble with, even after Susan Molinari announced as she left CBS that she was pregnant again.
Thus, it appears that by the end of this year in the family in which politics was the center not just of business but of life, only Guy Molinari will be on active duty, and because of New York City's term limits law, he too will be on the lookout for some other kind of work at the end of his present term.
The background of the central figure in ''Pataki,'' on the other hand, is a long line of people who had nothing to do with politics, and the book reads like a sunny campaign biography for whatever office he might be running for, now or in the future. The book, written with George Paisner, who also wrote books with Ed Koch and Geraldo Rivera, is not particularly helpful for George Pataki's present race, for re-election as Governor, having little to say about his experiences in state government, which, except for the death penalty law he got on the books, does not seem to interest him much.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is not better or worse than other natural deodorants. Doesn't work for me by itself but combined with baking soda it's just enough to keep me fresh. I like the Red Mill's baking soda which is very cheap and available in iherb as well...
best natural deodrant i've tried

Amendment 52 — which would redirect some oil-and-gas severance-tax revenues from water to highway projects — is drawing fire from water officials and conservation groups across the state.
"At a time when we are under pressure to get more out of our water resource and protect the environment, this would seriously hamper us," said Harris Sherman, executive director of the state Department of Natural Resources.
At risk, Sherman said, are more than $50 million in funds to do water supply planning, offer low-interest loans for local water projects and for programs to control invasive species, manage forest health and help endangered species.

Over time, the revolving loan fund for water projects administered by the Colorado Water Conservation Board would see about $134 million less in its account, Harris said.
Supporters of the proposal reject the criticism, which they say is aimed at defeating the proposal in favor of a Ritter administration amendment to use severance-tax money for college scholarships.
"This is all about politics," said Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, a sponsor of Amendment 52.
Penry said that when Gov. Bill Ritter chose to seek the severance-tax change through the ballot rather than the legislature, those seeking more money for highways "were forced to put our own proposal to the voters.
Amendment 52, which would become part of the state constitution, would cap tax revenues for water projects and could provide $90 million next year for highway projects and $1 billion over the next decade, supports say.
Easing congestion on Interstate 70 would be a priority.
Groups including Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, the Northern Colorado Conservancy District, the Greeley Water Board and water conservation board say redirecting dollars slated for water will hurt the state.
"We know that we are facing a growing population and a need for water projects," said Chris Treese, a spokesman for the Colorado River District. "This just hurts."
The Denver Water Board also voted to oppose the highway proposal.
"The endangered species fish recovery program on the Colorado and (South) Platte rivers is funded with this money, and losing it could affect our compliance with the Endangered Species Act," said Denver Water Commissioner Susan Daggett.

White wines on Tap
Un-Oaked Chardonnay, Yakima Valley AVA
A 2011 from the famous Otis Vineyard. Light golden straw in color, the nose offers honeysuckle and lime. Beautifully bright and crisp, the melon evolves into a long, lingering citrus finish. Great with oysters or hard cheese.
Pinot Gris, Columbia Valley AVA
A blend of fruit from Otis Vineyard and Frenchman Hills outside of Royal City. Loaded with layers of ripe peach and grapefruit. This chilled, golden delicacy has a titch of residual sugar and makes a perfect aperitif on its own or paired with savories or chiles.
Sauvignon Blanc from Ancient Lakes AVA, Two Guns Vineyard
Thought you couldn't find a classic Sauvignon Blanc in Washington? Think again. Bright, fresh and clean, with biting grapefruit and sweet pear aromas. The herbaceous and spicy palate is a pleasant surprise and complimented beautifully with a palate-cleansing tartness. The finish lingers and lingers – a sure sign of class.
Red Wines on Tap
Harvesters Red ~ Rhone style blend, Wahluke Slope AVA
Syrah and Mouvedre work their magic again in this classic Rhone blend. Loaded with black pepper and smoky cedar tones but never obscuring the delicious black fruit. Subtle notes of dried fruits and licorice continue to emerge as it opens. Pair this with wild mushroom penne in a gorgonzola cheese sauce.
Upright Red Blend, Wahluke Slope AVA
A classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 90% and Merlot 10%. This is a 2013 vintage so a bit younger than most Cabernet's in the market and we think that's what gives this its charm. An almost pretty bouquet that is unusually floral for a Cabernet – typically the older they get the more they absorb the characteristics of the barrel and some of the nuances of the fruit are lost. This wine allows you to experience the beautiful tones of Cabernet as an individual varietal and it's a pleasure. The tannins and structure are still there so it will hold up to pairings but it's a nice change to taste this great grape in a more unadulterated style. Enjoy!!
Malbec Blend, Wahluke Slope AVA
Aromas blackberries, currents and blueberries evolve through the palate finishing with a hint of leather. Multi-vintage 2013 Malbec 2012 Merlot

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

With the November 7th theatrical release date just a few days away, the cast of "Interstellar" took their epic flick to New York City last night (November 3).
Still chugging along the promotional trail, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain all showed up at the UK premiere of their new flick "Interstellar" in London last night (October 29).
Taking care of some weekend promotional duties, the cast of "Interstellar" showed up at the Los Angeles premiere, held at TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood on Sunday (October 26).
Joined by his lovely wife Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey caused mass swooning as he strolled up to the venue.
With so many stars in one place, last night's (October 21) 28th Annual Cinematheque Award event was the hottest party in Beverly Hills.
Honoree Matthew McConaughey brought his family along for the shindig at The Beverly Hilton Hotel including his wife Camila Alves, kids Levi and Vida (Livingston stayed home) and doting mother Kay.
Showing off an impressive new collection of athletic-inspired apparel, Alexander Wang unveiled his H&M range in Washington Heights, New York City last night (October 16).
She's no stranger to swanky soirees, and last night (October 9) Jessica Chastain was a vision of elegance at the Extremely Piaget Launch Event in Beverly Hills.
Joined by Piaget managing director Philippe Leopold-Metzger, the "Help" actress was ravishing in a red dress as she chatted with industry bigwigs.
It's always dangerous to share opinions in the media, and Jessica Chastain found out the hard way how her words can be twisted.
In her interview with Glamour magazine, the "Help" star stated, "I love Meryl Streep. She's such an incredible actress. But I feel like she's the only one in her age group who gets those parts."
While many of her contemporaries got their start in Tinseltown in their teens, Jessica Chastain was 31 by the time she scored her first major film role.

Round up the members of the local Shredder's Union and go on strike until The Man fulfills your demands for more snow, cheaper lift tickets, and free beer. No one will doubt your blue-collar credentials when you're wearing the 686 X Dickies Industrial Insulated Jacket, inspired by classic workwear but hooked up with modern high-tech features, like a 15K waterproof membrane and fully-taped seams. 80g body insulation keeps you warm when you're marching in a circle in the freezing cold, and articulated elbows make sign-holding a breeze. Unzip the underarm vents to stay cool during a heated argument with mountain management, and show them your empty retractable pass pocket as proof that you won't pony up the cash until they make the changes you're demanding. When they finally capitulate, snap down the adjustable powder skirt, button up the front storm flap, and go shred.

Timeless Style on the Hill
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I didn't really need another Jacket but I just had to buy this peace as a collectors Jacket to bust out every onve in a while. However I find myself wearing it more & more because of how warm it is! I went with the Duck color way & People always ask if I'm wearing an actual snowboard coat or if it's a work coat.. Once I tell them is a shred coat they get so stoked & ask where I got it from. Nothing feels better than throwing this coat on over a nice wool Pendleton & hitting the hill on a Blower Pow day!! Good Insulation, Great Fit & Timeless Style that wont fade with the fads!! I also bought the Black Dickies Double Knee pants to complete the kit & couldnt be any more stoked!
Good jacket for work and play!
This jacket arrived quick, and looks great! It seems to be as durable and warm as carharts, but a little more stylish. I like this color and the jacket fits me well. Great buy all around!

Government Section :: Page 31
Council plans budget hearing
Village Council convened one last budget workshop last week before the first official public hearing on the budget takes place on Monday, Dec. 3, at the Bryan Center in Council chambers. Council plans to approve the budget in early January, much earlier than it has done in the recent past.
Council is the public's forum
A small village with an active citizenry and lots of public services makes for a busy Village Council. To alleviate some of the burden and engage the expertise of a talented populace, Council has historically relied on commissions to vet ideas and research policies before making an official decision on a given issue.
Support for YS schools unique
Tuesday, Nov. 6, was a good day for progressive voters. But throughout the Miami Valley, it was a bad night for one of the biggest progressive issues of our time: public education.
Village's own battery park
The owners of electric cars may soon have a place to recharge their vehicles in Yellow Springs if the Village moves ahead with the installation of a charging station in the downtown vicinity.
Village CF bulb giveaway
Thousands of compact fluorescent light bulbs will be given away this week as part of a village-funded energy-efficiency program.
Police help keep kids warm
Next week, Yellow Springs police officers will take a group of local youth to the Mall at Fairfield Commons to buy them coats, hats, gloves and shoes.
Hempfling to leave Council
Due to what she said was an increasing demand on her personal time, Village Council President Judith Hempfling announced that she planned to leave Council before the end of her current term. Hempfling said she would resign once the Village approved the final draft of the zoning code revision, likely sometime in January.
Council moves on public art
Village Council members discussed the first draft of its first ever public art policy at their meeting Monday, Nov. 5. The policy, drafted by Village Manager Laura Curliss, covers the principles and procedures the Village will use to accept both permanent and temporary installations of art in Village-owned spaces.
Pettiford new police chief
When village resident Tony Pettiford takes over as Yellow Springs police chief on Nov. 19, he will bring a deep knowledge of the community he has called home for 51 years, which he says will serve him well in his effort to keep Yellow Springs safe.
Ryan rallies local support at dairy
It was a little overcast and a bit blustery. But that didn't stop more than 2,000 supporters from showing up at last Saturday's Paul Ryan rally at Young's Jersey Dairy. And a number of the Republican vice-presidential candidate's supporters hailed from Yellow Springs.

Elizabeth Westcott
unknown - December 5, 2012
Elizabeth Jeanne Crawford Westcott, 88, of Stuart, Fla., formerly of Syracuse, died Dec. 5, 2012 at Martin Memorial Hospital after a very brief illness. Daughter of Florence A. and Robert J. Crawford of Auburn, Elizabeth "Jeanne" graduated from East High School and then moved to New York City to work for Western Union. She later returned to Auburn and worked for New York Telephone Company, where she met her future husband, Ross P. Westcott. She and Ross were loyal communicants of St. Francis Xavier Church in Marcellus for many years. Jeanne was gifted at many things, including sewing and knitting and had an incredible sense of fashion. She was an avid reader and had an insatiable quest for knowledge, as evidenced by her proficiency with her computer and her iPhone, allowing her to keep up with her widespread loved ones. She was recently honored by her community, Allegro Senior Living, by being selected to serve as Ambassador. In this role, Jeanne enjoyed volunteering her time by welcoming new residents.
She was predeceased by Ross, her adoring husband of 61 years, in May of this year, as well as her parents, sisters Nancy Morabito and Barbara Parker and brother Robert J. Crawford.
Jeanne is survived by her loving children, Patricia Carranti (Frederick) of Manlius, James Westcott (Linda) of Palm City, FL, Nancy Shaver (Thomas) of Chesterfield, Va., and Robert Westcott of Marcellus; eight beloved grandchildren; 10 cherished great-grandchildren; dear sisters Doris Mitchell and Marilyn Smith; and 19 loving nieces and nephews.
Mass of Christian burial: 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10 in St. Francis Xavier Church, 1 West Main St., Marcellus. Interment was at St. Joseph's Cemetery, Fleming, N.Y. Calling hours: 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9 at Ryan Funeral Home, 44 E. Main St., Marcellus. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Mrs. Westcott may be made to the Rescue Mission, PO Box 11122, Syracuse, NY 13218-9903 or online at rmsyr.org.

Hey, I just got my first pair of quality shoes a few days ago - a pair of chestnut(ish) C&J.
After walking in them for a few hours each day to wear them in, I decided to apply the wax polish that came with it. I polished them up to a decent gloss (not quite the mirror shine I like, but a decent gloss), but I noticed that the finish easily flaked off at any point of stress, or any point where I'd polished a bit more. I don't have any brown shoe polish at home, though I've ordered it.
Right now they look... pretty patchy. Is this normal? Should I just polish with brown shoe polish all over? Or should I use mineral spirits or something to strip the rest of the finish off before polishing? Or is this a manufacturing error, should I go back with them? I live quite a bit away from my shoemaker who ordered them for me, so I'm asking around first.
Here's a picture:
Return them.post #3903 of 111364/20/13 at 8:14ampost #3904 of 111364/20/13 at 8:50ampost #3905 of 111364/20/13 at 8:54amQuote:
The shoemaker specifically said that there was no need to apply cream until in a while, and nothing about not applying wax to any bendable parts...
Nevertheless, it seems utterly ridiculous that the finish would be ruined by a single, excessive application of wax with a soft cotton cloth the first time. It's hardly the first pair of shoes I've polished.post #3906 of 111364/20/13 at 9:33am

Exactly my thoughts. Gently stripping off the excess wax from the whole shoe apart from the toe would be the first thing I'd do with these.post #3907 of 111364/20/13 at 9:52amQuote:Originally Posted by LC Nielsen

It's not the finishing that's flaking off, it's the wax. I would suggest reading this and this.post #3908 of 111364/20/13 at 9:54amQuote:
A single application of wax with a soft cotton cloth to a softer area causes the finish to crumble and fall apart on a pair of otherwise fine shoes? It's not just a discoloration - the finish is very visibly cracked, and very visible flaked off while applying the wax. I've had MANY leather products of varying quality over the years, but not even the very cheapest, low-quality ones were that sensitive.
I exchanged a few mails with Justin of The Shoe Snob - he thought it was a bad tanning job. For what it's worth.post #3909 of 111364/20/13 at 9:59ampost #3910 of 111364/20/13 at 10:13amA bad use of wax polish could cause disaster.
What colour have you used?
This could happen with neutral polish
You removed the finishing from the shoes revealing the original colour of the uppers (that usually is always light tan in mid brown to brown shoes)
Now you can only strip the shoes and re do the finishing with creams and wax (only on toe and heels)
I don't think C&J could consider this a manufactorig error.post #3911 of 111364/20/13 at 10:16am
OK, on the area to the left (the bit of the leather between my fingers), I removed the (transparent) wax with bile soap, and as far as I can tell there is none left. On the area on the right, well, that's the cracked area. I'm pretty sure the chestnut color is the color of the leather finish, and the tan is the color of whatever's just beneath it.post #3912 of 111364/20/13 at 10:19amQuote:Originally Posted by alexSF

Yes, I got a can of C&J's neutral polish when I bought the shoes, and used that.
Okay, so I can strip them completely and re-do the finish. That's fine. I was told to do that once or twice a year anyway. How do I do it? What products do I need?post #3913 of 111364/20/13 at 10:43ampost #3914 of 111364/20/13 at 11:05amQuote:
This explain all.
Neutral polish should be used only in rare cases, one of them is to remove the old polish manteining some of the old layers, or is used as gentle stripper instead renomat or similar product.
Never use it for regualar care.
You removed the layer of burnishing finish process.
Here you can see the original colour of C&J Clifford and the final colour (different model but identical process):post #3915 of 111364/20/13 at 11:08am
Huh! Guess what. I shrugged and took some mineral spirits (drugstore gasoline, I think) and wiped them. The "spots" went away like magic. After wiping for a while and drying it, they're back to their original color - just a little bit brighter and less glossy.
What must have happened is that somehow my wax reacted with whatever the factory finished coating them with, making for bright, tan-like spots. Now they seem to be down to simple chestnut leather again, and I guess I'm just gonna have to get some brown cream and polish and work them up again.

The Dia de los Tacos food truck in Marquette is in line to win some national prestige with a new contest.
The truck is owned and operated by Mike Walker, who's been serving up Mexican cuisine in the Marquette area for just over a year now. The food truck is competing with other taco trucks across the country for the title of 2014 Food Truck Taco of the Year.
The contest is put on by a website called Mobile Cuisine. Right now, they're in third place with more than 1,700 votes.
"We really want to bring Marquette sort of into the limelight and I think it would be really fun to be able to say that the best taco in the country comes from Marquette, Michigan, and it's really all about that we just want to get the word out there, let people know that good food can come from a small town," said Jaquelyn Lambert of Dia de los Tacos.
The taco truck can be found around the City of Marquette during lunch hours and on weekends they set up inside the Ore Dock Brewery. We've created a link to the voting page here.
If you're interested to know where the truck will be, check out their Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Gold nanolayers sputtered on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface and their changes induced by post-deposition annealing at 100°C to 300°C are studied. Changes in surface morphology and roughness are examined by atomic force microscopy, electrical sheet resistance by two point technique, zeta potential by electrokinetic analysis and chemical composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in dependence on the gold layer thickness. Transition from discontinuous to continuous gold coverage takes place at the layer thicknesses 10 to 15 nm and this threshold remains practically unchanged after the annealing at the temperatures below 200°C. The annealing at 300°C, however, leads to significant rearrangement of the gold layer and the transition threshold increases to 70 nm. Significant carbon contamination and the presence of oxidized structures on gold-coated samples are observed in XPS spectra. Gold coating leads to a decrease in the sample surface roughness. Annealing at 300°C of pristine PTFE and gold-coated PTFE results in significant increase of the sample surface roughness.
Up to now, many efforts have been spent to produce smart materials with extraordinary properties usable in broad range of technological applications. In the last two decades, it has been demonstrated that properties of new prospective materials depend not only on their chemical composition but also on the dimensions of their building blocks which may consist of common materials [1, 2]. Besides other interesting properties of nanostructured gold systems, such as catalytic effects or magnetism [2, 3], which both originate from surface and quantum size effects, they are also extremely usable, those which are closely connected with the average number of atoms in the nanoparticles. The properties and behavior of extremely small gold particles completely differ from those of bulk materials, e.g., their melting point [2, 4, 5], density [6], lattice parameter [6–8], and electrical or optical properties [6, 7, 9] are dramatically changed. Exceptional properties of gold nanoparticles offer completely new spectrum of applications. For example, the ability to control the size and shape of the particles and their surface conjugation with antibodies allows for both selective imaging and photothermal killing of cancer cells [10–12] due to their excellent biocompatibility [13] and unique properties in surface plasma resonance [14]. Besides the medicinal applications, gold nanolayers and nanoparticles are nowadays also used in sensor technology [15] or surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy [16].
Recently, new technique has been proposed for modification of Au nanolayer deposited on glass substrate, based on intensive post-deposition annealing [7, 9]. Resulting structures are "hummock-like" isolated gold islands uniformly distributed over the substrate. The formation of new structures may be due to the accelerate diffusion and stress relaxation in gold nanolayer.
In this work, we studied the changes in surface morphology and other physico-chemical properties of gold nanolayers, sputtered on polytetrafluoroethylene surface induced by post-deposition annealing.
The present experiments were performed on poly(tetrafluoroethylene) foil (PTFE, thickness of 50 956;m, T g = 126°C, and T f = 327°C) supplied by Goodfellow Ltd., UK. The gold layers were sputtered on polymer foil (2 cm in diameter). The sputtering was accomplished on Balzers SCD 050 device from gold target (supplied by Goodfellow Ltd., Huntingdon, England, UK). The deposition conditions were: DC Ar plasma, gas purity 99.995%, discharge power of 7.5 W, sputtering time 0 to 550 s. Under these experimental conditions, homogeneous distribution of gold over the substrate surface is expected [17]. Post-deposition annealing of Au-covered PTFE was carried out in air at 300°C (± 3°C) for 1 h using a thermostat Binder oven. The heating rate was 5°C.min−1 and the annealed samples were left to cool in air to room temperature (RT).
Electrokinetic analysis (determination of zeta potential) of pristine and Au-coated PTFE foils was accomplished on SurPASS Instrument (Anton Paar, Graz, Austria). Samples were studied inside the adjustable gap cell in contact with the electrolyte (0.001 mol.dm−3 KCl). For each measurement a pair of polymer foils with the same top layer was fixed on two sample holders (with a cross-section of 20 × 10 mm2 and gap between that is 100 956;m) [18]. All samples were measured four times at constant pH value with the relative error of 10%. The used method was streaming current and zeta potential was calculated by Helmholtz-Smoluchowski equation [19].
An Omicron Nanotechnology ESCAProbeP spectrometer was used to measure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra [20]. The analyzed areas had dimensions of 2 × 3 mm2. The X-ray source provided monochromatic radiation of 1,486.7 eV. The spectra were measured stepwise with a step in the binding energy of 0.05 eV at each of the six different sample positions. The spectra evaluation was carried out by using CasaXPS software. The composition of the various elements is given in atomic percent disregarding hydrogen, which cannot be assessed by XPS.
Surface morphology of as-sputtered and annealed gold layers deposited for different sputtering times was examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The AFM images were taken under ambient conditions on a Digital Instruments CP II set-up working in tapping mode in order to eliminate damage of the sample surface. A Veeco phosphorous-doped silicon probe RTESPA-CP (Veeco, Mannheim, Germany) with spring constant of 20 to 80 N.m−1 was chosen. AFM working in contact mode was also used to determine thickness of sputtered gold by scratch method. The scratch on glass substrate was made in ten different positions on as-sputtered samples and scanned in contact mode [20]. In this case, a Veeco phosphorous-doped silicon probe CONT20A-CP with spring constant 0.9 N.m−1 was chosen. Thickness variations do not exceed 5%. All AFM scans were acquired at scanning rate of 1 Hz. Due to the morphology changes evoked by the annealing, the sputtered layer thickness could only be satisfactorily determined in the case of as-sputtered samples. Thus, in the case of annealed samples, the effective thickness is defined as the thickness of as-sputtered gold which is considered to be the same for annealed structures deposited for the corresponding deposition time.
Sheet resistance (R s) of the gold layers was measured by standard two point method. Two gold contacts, defining measured area (about 50 nm thick) on the layer surface were prepared by sputtering. We define an electrically continuous layer as a layer, where the declining sheet resistance reaches a saturated minimum.
Besides of the sheet resistance, measurement information on the layer structure and homogeneity can be obtained in another way too. Here, complementary information on the layer homogeneity is obtained from XPS spectra.

The changes in the surface morphology after the annealing were studied by AFM. AFM scans of pristine and Au-coated (20 nm) samples before and after annealing are presented in Figure 4. One can see that the annealing causes a dramatic increase in the surface roughness of the pristine polymer. Since the annealing temperature markedly exceeds PTFE glassy transformation temperature (T g PTFE = 126°C) the increase in the surface roughness is probably due to thermally induced changes of PTFE amorphous phase. The gold sputtering leads to a measurable reduction of the sample surface roughness. The reduction may be due to preferential gold growth in hollows at the PTFE surface. Annealing of the gold-coated sample leads to significant increase of the surface roughness too. In this case, the increase is a result of both, the changes in the surface morphology of underlying PTFE and the changes in the morphology of the gold layer. After annealing, the surface roughness of pristine and gold-coated samples is practically the same. This finding is in contradiction with similar study accomplished on gold layers deposited on glass substrate [9]. Possible explanation of this fact probably lies in much better flatness of the glass substrate and in lower thermal stability of PTFE substrate during annealing.
The properties of thin gold layers sputtered on the PTFE substrate and their changes after annealing at 100°C to 300°C were studied by different methods. Chemical composition, electrical conductivity, surface morphology, and zeta potential of the layers as a function of the layer thickness were determined. Attention was focused on the transition from partial to complete gold coverage of PTFE substrate. From the measurement of the sheet resistance the transition from discontinuous to continuous gold coverage was found at the layer thicknesses 10 to 15 nm for as-sputtered samples. After annealing at 300°C, the transition point increase to about 70 nm, the increase indicating substantial rearrangement of the gold layer. The rearrangement is confirmed also by XPS measurement and an electrokinetic analysis. By XPS measurement, contamination of the gold coated PTFE samples with carbon and the presence of oxidized structures created during gold sputtering were proved. The annealing results in significant increase of the surface roughness of both pristine- and gold-sputtered PTFE.
