California legislators who want to "stand in solidarity" with Texas Sen. Wendy Davis – whose filibuster earlier this week put her in the national spotlight – will soon get their chance.
Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, has asked her Senate colleagues to wear pink shoes, pink shoelaces or pink ties next Monday in honor of Davis and her 11-hour marathon in the Texas Senate.
The Fort Worth Democrat wore pink running shoes – some news reports called them salmon-colored – during her speech Tuesday during which she successfully ran out the clock on a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and require clinics to meet the same standards as hospital-style surgery centers.
Texas rules barred her from leaning on her desk or going off topic. She was also prohibited from sitting, eating, drinking or going to the bathroom.
Her victory didn't last long, however. Hours later, Texas Gov. Rick Perry called a special legislative session starting Monday so that Lone Star State lawmakers can take up the measure again.
Evans' dress-up idea is not without precedent: Last year, California senators wore hooded sweatshirts during a floor session in protest over the slaying of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
– Annalise Mantz
The meltdown of California's once-booming housing industry is graphically illustrated in a new Census Bureau report. In the two years after the 2010 census, California added a net 27,305 units of rental or owner-occupied housing, a gain of just two-tenths of 1 percent. In the middle of the last decade, it was adding as many as 200,000 units each year.

"Don't mess with the queens."

There are people to whom the rules don't apply, and one of them, at least in the cinematic realm, is Steven Spielberg. Oh, he wants to remake one of the all time great classic films and musicals? As far as 20th Century Fox is concerned, he can go right ahead.
Deadline reports that honchos at Fox have removed the HANDS OFF, KEEP AWAY tape from Robert Wise's "West Side Story," because Spielberg "is interested in making it." That's it. For all we know, he could've said, "Yeah, huh, that might be neat" and here we are. It's certainly worth pondering especially since the usually prolific Spielberg is currently in project limbo, with "Robopocalypse" on hold, and other projects such as "Montezuma" and the continually promised "The Adventures Of Tintin" percolating potentially in the background.
One thing in favor of "West Wide Story" is that Spielberg has never really done a musical, and it's something a holy grail for filmmakers, and perhaps an itch he wants to scratch. It also helps that his longtime producing partner Stacey Snider is rumored to leaving DreamWorks — where Spielberg has made his movies for years — and headed to Fox. Could the stars be aligning?
Seems to early to say, but let us know below what you think about Spielberg taking this on.

Sheer dominance.
Jennifer Kupcho put on a clinic at the Class 4A girls state golf tournament. The Jefferson Academy junior won by 14 strokes Tuesday at the Country Club of Colorado in Colorado Springs.
"I'm really excited to bring the state title back to my school," she said.
Kupcho shot a 2-over-par 74 on Tuesday to add to her even-par 72 on Monday.
"It was a little windy, but I was still able to play well," she said.
The 16-year-old was a favorite entering the tournament. She placed third in the event as a freshman and second as a sophomore.
"I really wanted it all year. I've worked really hard," she said.
The 5-foot-5 junior won all of her matches this season. She credits an improved short game in taking the next step.
"My wedges were very poor last year, and since high school golf is really short, I really need those, so I've been working on those a lot," she said.
Growing up, Kupcho was always around the sport. Both parents are avid players and her brother, Steven, plays for the University of Northern Colorado. At an early age, her father recalled a golf-camp instructor taking notice of her abilities.
"He said to us, 'She's got the sweetest swing I've ever seen,' " said Mike Kupcho, Jennifer's dad and coach at JA. "You just go, 'Yeah, right.' "
It wasn't long before Jennifer would prove those words right.
"We sent her to a tournament when she was 8, and she finished second in the 10-and-under in her first tournament," Mike said. "Next year she won four tournaments. ... It's been kind of like that ever since."
Having an older brother who also excels at the game built a little rivalry between the siblings, especially when both were trying to qualify for USGA events.
"We have a lot of competition," Jennifer said. "When we practice, we push each other to get better."
While Steven fell just short for his event, Jennifer qualified for the USGA Women's Amateur Championship last year, winning the qualifying event with a 3-under 69.
That competitive nature extends beyond the course. She also plays basketball and helped the Jaguars to a 12-10 record last season.
"I can't tell you another kid I've enjoyed more achieve what she has," JA girls basketball coach Kevin Porter said. "It's just so fun to watch somebody reach their potential."
Earlier this year, Kupcho committed to play golf at Wake Forest, picking the school over Denver and Colorado State.
"Now that you're going to Wake, don't take any charges," Mike Kupcho said jokingly. "You don't take a charge unless it's the fourth quarter of the state championship game."

Main St. $marts
who got us into this economic mess and how we get through it...
by Grace Ross
Get the Kindle version for only $10.95! Purchasing a paper-bound copy as a gift? Watch for the link to a gift card once your order has been confirmed.
With many of us troubled and frustrated, Grace shares what we're not being told, and discusses what we can do to reverse cuts, foreclosures and job losses, and transform our schools, neighborhoods, health care and our futures. ... More about the book
Click here to purchase your copy of Main St. $marts.
Come meet Grace and talk with her about Main St. $marts at one of her upcoming events.
"Grace Ross was an incredible gift to the 6 million people of Massachusetts when she ran for governor. Main St. $marts is her next gift - the truth about our economy and what needs to be done for the people of our state - clear, powerful and irrefutable,"
Representative David Flynn, Dean of the Massachusetts House of Representatives
"Grace Ross is very well-informed. She speaks directly and concisely."
Barbara Kohin, former Worcester City Councilor
"Grace Ross always seems to be in all the right places on all the right issues, taking strong positions and explaining them in ways that make them accessible to regular people. Main St. $marts shows once again her willingness to tackle today's toughest problems in a manner that engages with and informs the people of our Commonwealth."
Scott Harshbarger, former Massachusetts Attorney General (1991-1999).
"Main St. $marts is so important. Grace Ross is bringing light to issues that they try to obscure."
Maritza Cruz, Worcester
"Main St. $marts is a must read because Grace Ross makes the undeniable case that corporate and financial elites, and not those of us who work for a living, undermined our economy. Working people have suffered the most from the dishonest misdeeds of corporate elites. She's spot on in her analysis that to reverse the vicious downward cycle caused by business and our leaders' fox in the henhouse approach to government, we need to re-establish the proven cycle where everyone wins because financially stable working families are able to drive our economy like we used to."
Robert Haynes, President, Massachusetts AFL-CIO
"Main St. $marts is a gem, a step toward taking the moral leadership of Massachusetts The battle of ideas - of how to frame this crisis, how to understand who we are, what our possible destiny is, who are our friends, who are our potential allies, who and what are we up against, is critical - and up for grabs.
Your book - and your leadership - have never been needed more."
Chris Horton, retired teacher and Democratic Party activist
"Finally, someone who cares about people instead of politicians and big business."
Kelly Bates, Roslindale
"Grace Ross lays out a plan to recovery that brings new ideas and innovations to the forefront and respects the contributions that all of us bring to the table. Anyone concerned about the future of the Commonwealth should pick up Main St. $marts."
Cara Lisa Berg Powers, Author, By Any Media Necessary

May 2, 2016
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- C.J. Harris scored 23 points to help Wake Forest beat Boston College 85-56 on Saturday.
Travis McKie added 21 points for the Demon Deacons (13-15, 4-10 Atlantic Coast Conference), who broke out of nearly three-week scoring slump to earn a season sweep of the Eagles.
After failing to score 60 points in each of the past four games, Wake Forest reached that mark with about 12 minutes left. The Demon Deacons shot 55 percent and went 9-for-14 from 3-point range for a rare easy victory.
Wake Forest led by 32 points late, its biggest lead in any game this season.
Ryan Anderson scored 18 points for the Eagles (8-20, 3-11), who fell to 0-8 on the road and lost their fourth straight overall. Boston College shot 43 percent, but didn't put much pressure on the Demon Deacons and gave up way too many open looks.

Don Kiddick's Sausage Factory

Don Kiddick's Sausage Factory was a factory in the district of Trenton in Portland Island, Liberty City. It would later close down and become the Bitch'n' Dog Food Factory, as seen in 2001, the setting of Grand Theft Auto III.
The name Don Kiddick is presumably a lewd pun on donkey dick.

Why Is Beloved Beloved?
After all the plaudits, it's time to look at the novel's merits.
What Beloved does feel grounded in, and firmly, is a repudiation of everything that exerts a soft but nonetheless unpleasant authority in a young person's life. In place of the need to master hard knowledge or brute facts, there is folk wisdom; in place of science, animism; in place of the strict father, the self-sufficient matriarchy, first of Baby Suggs', and later Sethe's, house; and finally, in place of a man's world, the hallowed sorority of women, especially women of color—though on this last, Morrison does not insist too heavily. As Sethe, very pregnant fugitive, breaks for the Ohio border, she runs into a young white woman named Amy. At first Sethe is fearful, but Amy is raggedy and a little touched in the head and presents no danger; and eventually she helps Sethe through (a peculiarly uneventful) labor. In a passage Morrison has identified as holding out hope for racial reconciliation, Sethe and Amy swaddle the newborn on the banks of the Ohio. "A pateroller passing would have sniggered to see two throw-away people, two lawless outlaws—a slave and a barefoot whitewoman with unpinned hair—wrapping a ten-minute-old baby in the rags they wore."
If Beloved expends almost no energy mapping its historical reality—the wage system, like parturition, has been oddly gentle to Sethe—it's because Beloved was not designed to conjure with the past as a concrete reality. True, the past, in all its ugliness, breaks into the present, but the landscape of Morrison's present is mostly an interior one. Late in the novel we discover that the painfully withdrawn Denver, like George Harris before her, is clever. "Other people said this child was simple, but Lady Jones [her teacher] never believed it. Having taught her, watched her eat up a page, a rule, a figure, she knew better." But this is a small flourish, another aside. Beloved is not Denver's story, the story of a worldly gift artificially depressed by bigotry. It's Sethe's story, as Sethe stands poised before the possibility of her own therapeutic self-renewal. The word "self" is worth pausing here. If you asked a college student in 1967 what she most believed, she might put a finger in your face, before telling you off about the war; these days, too often she points to her own chest. In a folk ideology, the ardor with which we believe becomes its own truth. Not coincidentally, Morrison has spoken eloquently of "the precious interior, the loved self, whatever that is, whatever vocabulary you ascribe to it, [that] is suppressed or displaced and put someplace else."
The language knocked around in my head for days after I read it. Where had I heard this before? In the late '70s, coincident with the emergence of Toni Morrison as a major novelist, a European psychologist named Alice Miller wrote a best seller called The Drama of the Gifted Child and the Search for the True Self. The opening paragraphs reads as follows:
In order to become whole we must try, in a long process, to discover our own personal truth, a truth that may cause pain before giving us a new sphere of freedom. If we choose instead to content ourselves with intellectual "wisdom," we will remain in the sphere of illusion and self-deception. … The damage done to us during childhood cannot be undone, since we cannot change anything in our past. We can, however, change ourselves. We can repair ourselves and gain lost integrity by choosing to look more closely at the knowledge that is stored inside our bodies and bringing that knowledge closer to our awareness.
Beloved is indeed a work of genius. No other American novel of the past 25 years has so elegantly mapped the psychobiography of its ideal reader.

Meeting House and Hearse House
Fremont, NH
Marker Number: 167
Name and date established: Fremont 1991
Description: Built in 1800, this steepleless structure, originally unheated, was used for both town and church meetings. This and a similar building in Rockingham, Vt., are the only two survivors of some 70 meeting houses with twin end "porches" (stairwells) built in New England in the 1700's. The building retains box pews (once privately owned) and a high pulpit. "Singing seats" in the gallery reflect the introduction of choral music in the late 1700s. The nearby Hearse House (1849) marks a transistion in local funerals from a hand-carried bier to a horse-drawn vehicle.
Location: Located on Route 107 in Freemont, NH

Laird Campbell
I did not know until I read the October In Memoriam1 that Laird Campbell had passed away. It is fitting that Mr. Campbell's In Memoriam appeared in the Professionalism issue because of an incident I remember with Mr. Campbell from long, long ago. I was a fairly new lawyer, probably six months out of law school. I had been assigned a case where the other party was represented by Mr. Campbell. I had some issues with his discovery responses, and being a new lawyer, I of course decided that the wisest course of action would be to write a nasty letter to him, making threats and demands.
Some days after I sent the letter, I got a call from Mr. Campbell. He said, "Christina, this is Laird Campbell. I got your letter. I did you a big favor. I threw it in the trash. Now let's really talk about the issues." I freaked out, of course, and acted like the complete coward I was. I had some difficulty explaining why I thought making threats would be a good way to resolve our dispute. At the end of the call, he said, "Next time, would you just pick up the phone? I'm happy to talk to you about just about anything you want to talk about."
Thank you, Laird Campbell. That telephone call changed my attitude, my practice, and my life.
There, now I have finally said what I should have said all those years ago. I am just sorry Mr. Campbell didn't hear me say it.

is my pleco getting enough to eat?
I have a five inch pleco, and as is apparently normal for them, he isn't very active during the day. every evening, right about the time i turn off the light, i drop an algae waffer in for him, but i can't tell if he is eating it, or if the tiger barbs and swordtails in the tank with him eat it all before he gets to it. should i be worried about him not getting enough to eat?
Which species? Most are nocturnal or mainly nocturnal. I would drop in the sinking food well after lights are off, so the upper fish are basically settled and in sleep mode. The pleco will find it in total darkness.
i'm fairly sure it is a common pleco.
and feeding him when the lights have been off for a while is a little difficult, since the tank is at the office i work at and i turn of the light when i leave for the night.
I feed mine sliced cucumbers once or twice a week... I know it's him eating it because I see him attached to it... and when I come back to see him I just see the edges of the cucumber remaining. You can try that. I have one of those plastic clips with the suction cup attached to it that I use to weigh the cucumber down.

Re: Jimmy Rethinking
Dave, the Carter piece you linked to was interesting in other respects, too. Perhaps none more so than the man's invincible narcissism, as when he offered that "the best treatment he has received since leaving the Oval Office was from the first President Bush, and the second-best treatment he got was during the Reagan administration, especially from Secretary of State George P. Shultz. The worst treatment he's received, the former president said, was from President Clinton."
He does not seem to have ever considered that his successors in office were under no obligation to even return his phone calls. And it becomes more and more apparent that they should never have bothered.
Carter ran for president in 1976 quoting Bob Dylan's famous line, "He not busy being born is busy dying." Another Dylan line seems more appropriate now: "There's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all."

Know what I figure out – Need To Buy Some Toys? Top Toy Advice Here For You!
Do not restrict your child from paying with toys because their age is out of the range that is recommended on the box. These numbers should be used as guidelines and are not really set in stone. Being steadfast about age can result in your child missing out on many toys they may enjoy. Talk to your children about their likes and dislikes before buying any toys. This is not just about their toy opinions. These are likes and dislikes about anything and everything. You may discover certain things about your kids that will cue you in to just the right toy choices to spur their creativity and innovation.
Keep the warranty for any toy that you purchase. Just like any other product, your toy purchase should be covered for poor craftsmanship. If your child accidentally drops the toy, you likely won't be covered, but random breaking should never occur. If it breaks, be prepared with the warranty to make a call to the manufacturer.
If you're shopping for toys for the holidays, buy them as early as you can. The earlier the better. As the season wears on, prices for the hottest toys trend more to premium buys. There are few discounts to be found. Some of the best discounts actually happen after the holiday season, so shopping after Christmas for the next year can be a smart strategy. When buying a toy for a young child, if in doubt, choose something that will stimulate their senses. Buying a toy for someone very young can be pretty tough. Toys that are vibrantly colored, make sound, or have a particular texture will be both fun and educational for the child. Figure out how to clean up the toys efficiently. Sometimes you'll need to clean up some toys in a very quick time. So what are your solutions? Having a toy basket on hand would certainly help. It's definitely a great choice when people stop by the home.
Research the year's best toys. Each year before the holidays a new list will be issued. You can find good ideas this way. Start shopping early, and give yourself plenty of time to evaluate your toy options. Want a toy that really engages your child? Look to toys that really challenge the senses. There are all sorts of multi-sensory toys on the market that play with sound, movement, and even scents. They truly give your child a lot to engage with all in one toy. This can mean a lot less purchases for you!
The Easy-Bake oven has been around for years, but it still holds a special place in a little girl's heart. This oven utilizes a incandescent light bulb to safely cook delicious treats. The Easy-Bake system offers a variety of treats including: brownies, cupcakes, cookies and more. Bake some fun tonight! A good toy should be education and fun. For toddlers, look for toys that teach them the alphabet and numbers. You can find toys that will say each alphabet or number when the appropriate button is pressed. Toddlers are learning an having fun at the same time. Learning through play is the best education.
Take your children along when shopping for their toys. Unless you already know what they want, guessing at which toys they will enjoy will be hit and miss. This will ensure they get something they are sure to enjoy. Additionally, it ensures you're not wasting your money on any toys that won't be used.
Get rid of plastic wrapping or containers that a toddler's toy has come in. This type of packaging is very attractive to kids. Depending on what they are made of, they can harm a child in a serious way. Think about where you plan to let your child play with the toy. Too often parents get sucked into the idea of a toy for their child, but don't give thought to whether it'll work in their yard or home. Too little space can mean broken furniture and accessories all around. Examine each toy closely before you buy it. A great toy should be one that captures a child's imagination. The best toys offer endless playtime. These toys help teach children how to experiment, express their creativity, and solve problems.

"Politics Is Not an Easy Thing"
An interview with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
SYDNEY, Australia—Julia Gillard, Australia's first female prime minister, is fighting a two-front political war: The opposition party leader is ahead of her in the polls before the September election, and disgruntled members of her party are plotting to restore former prime minister Kevin Rudd—the same man she ousted two and a half years ago—to power. Gillard sat down this past week in Sydney with Lally Weymouth and discussed her opponents, her relationship with President Obama, and whether Australians or Americans are more judgmental. Excerpts:
Lally Weymouth: You face an election in September. You are trailing in the polls, as is your party. What is your view of the situation?
Julia Gillard: We've got a big fight on our hands and a lot of hard work to do. We've been in this period of hyper-partisanship, replicating some of the cycles of American politics. We [the Labor Party] emerged from the 2010 election with a minority Parliament, which is very unusual in Australia. The Republican equivalents—misleadingly called "Liberals"—deliberately embarked post the 2010 election on a sharply partisan campaign. Their aim was to force the government back to an election quickly.
Despite their best efforts, we have managed to get some very big things done, including—quite controversially—creating a carbon tax and moving to an emissions-trading scheme. We've got some very big reforms through, but the hyper-partisanship takes its toll. The community grows weary of it. But as President Obama showed in your own elections, ultimately, rationality and common sense can prevail.
L.W.: Do you feel you have some similarities to Obama?
J.G.: We are sister political parties—the Labor Party and the Democrats. Organizationally and in a values sense, we've got a lot in common. In terms of the value that we put on opportunity, education, social mobility, and building the future, I think the political pictures are quite aligned.
L.W.: What have you learned from Obama's campaign that you feel you can apply to yours?
J.G.: The organizational techniques, like our political party's social media strategy.
L.W.: Two years after he was elected as prime minister, you ousted Kevin Rudd.
J.G.: That's not quite what actually happened. The Labor government was first elected in 2007, with Kevin Rudd as prime minister and me as deputy prime minister. I served very loyally as Kevin's deputy. But in order to be prime minister, you need to enjoy the continuing support of your political party, and in 2010, he no longer enjoyed that. So, I requested of him that there be a leadership ballot. He chose not to contest it because he knew his support was so slender.
L.W.: People say he is going to try to come back now.
J.G.: They have said that continuously since 2010. Kevin put himself forward for the leadership again in February last year and was quite resoundingly defeated, and has from then on maintained that he will not challenge [me] for the leadership.
L.W.: So you are not worried?
J.G.: Not at all.
L.W.: Reportedly, many Labor members who are worried about losing their seats believe that if Rudd were heading the party, Labor might lose fewer seats. Do you believe there's any validity to that?
J.G.: You could have said that in January of last year, and we had the ballot in February. You could have said that anytime—it's been a continuing background commentary. Nothing comes of it, and nothing will.
L.W.: So you don't think the party will rise up?
J.G.: No, I don't.
L.W.: Do you think you can beat Tony Abbott?
J.G.: I certainly do. ... I think that, ultimately, what he has put before the Australian community is a strategy of continuing negativity. It's not a strategy for the nation's future. When it comes to voting day, people will have to make a decision about who has a better plan for the future and who has the better character and temperament to deliver that plan.
L.W.: You mentioned the carbon tax as an accomplishment of yours. But you promised in the 2010 campaign that you would not enact a carbon tax. Then, after the election, you did. Is the trust factor a problem for you?
J.G.: It's been a big issue in Australian politics and for me. For most of the period between 2007 and 2010, having an emissions-trading scheme was bipartisan politics. That ceased to be bipartisan politics late in 2009 when Mr. Abbott, who had personally been in favor of an emissions-trading scheme, put himself forward for the leadership of the Liberal Party on an anti-carbon-pricing platform.
In the 2010 campaign, I ruled out having a carbon tax. After the election, we ended up with a minority government. In order to get carbon pricing through the Parliament, I needed to agree that for the first three years there would be a carbon tax, and then it would go to an emissions-trading scheme.
So clearly, the opposition has campaigned on this as a breach of a promise. But by the time people are voting in the election in September, if you try to unwind this scheme the economic dislocation will be considerable. A lot of families have received more assistance out of the carbon-pricing scheme than carbon pricing cost them.
L.W.: What about the mining tax your government enacted? You didn't raise the amount of revenue you expected to raise.
J.G.: It's a profits-based tax, and so yes, we have underperformed against the revenue estimates. [But] looking at our economic circumstances, we came out of the global financial crisis quite differently than the rest of the developed world. We never had a recession. Our unemployment rate has continued to be relatively low—it is 5.4 percent now. We are continuing to see economic growth, low inflation, low interest rates.

Jeff's done it again…..He's just a completed a 4th video for me, and I couldn't be more thrilled. He's such a consummate pro. at this, and he makes the whole process so easy for me. I'd never want to do my own video while ever Jeff's available. So if you're thinking about getting any type of videos done, Jeff can do it.
Thanks again Jeff

Jeff has provided the voiceover and full production of a sales conversion-focused video for me. He was able to take a written script and infuse the perfect tone into the video. There was a specific tempo and emotional pitch I wanted for the video – and he delivered!
Also appreciated his quick responsiveness and responsibility in letting me know if turnaround times had to shift, etc. Definitely planning to continue working together.

Kim Kardashian Will Reveal the Sex of Her Baby. . . On Her Show's Season Premiere, Of CourseSarah Bernard
What were you expecting, a random Tweet? A nonchalant mention to a reporter? This is the Kardashian baby! And everything Kardashian happens for a reason. Like ratings. I completely respect them for that, by the way.
We've been guessing the gender of baby Kimye for months now and even though rumors started swirling back in February that it was going to be a girl, there was never a confirmation.
Baby girl speculation picked up again when Kim's shower invitations went out — music boxes that played a lullaby version of Kanye's song "Hey Mama" with a twirling ballerina. A ballerina! Is that a signal or a decoy to throw us off?
Soon we well know the answer.
Khloe Kardashian went on the Today show this week to show off her svelte self and to get the word out that Kim will finally drop the info on the season eight premiere of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" this Sunday June 2nd. (Coincidentally, that happens to be the date of the baby shower.)
Khloe also revealed that finding out the baby's gender wasn't an easy task. They went to three different appointments in search of the answer but, she says, the baby "kept sitting, like, Indian-style." Could it be that this baby does not enjoy the cameras?
Now, Kanye was not at that particular doctor's visit. But Khloe quickly pointed out that he was at the previous ones and had a concert. Or something.
Here's a clip from the episode: http://youtu.be/-heaFaoy31Q

Happy Easter! Today's guest post is by the beautiful Elenore from Earthsprout. She compares her approach to cooking as painting on the plate using nature's colours, and we could not agree more. Elenore's commitment to the most natural ingredients is incredibly inspiring, and her positive energy – absolutely contagious. If you haven't yet visited her wonderful blog, you are in for a real treat. Elenore Bendel Zahn, your official tree hugger and sassy health gal. As both a Raw Food/ Natural Nutrition coach and an Organic Gardener, Elenore spreads knowledge that can heal both You and Mother Earth. Her home is in the very south of Sweden where she works with her company Earthsprout and its various Greenylicious projects. At the moment she is soon to be releasing her carefully handpicked Raw Food product "Nordic Superfood Mix", working one-to-one with clients, creating their custom made Adventure changes and whipping up health boosting flavor explosions for www.Earthsprout.org
I have to admit… While I can sit and admire green buds and colorful leaves for hours, when it comes to food, I tend to get easily bored (whaat!?). This is why when I realized what amazing flavor treasures and inspiring people where hidden in the world of food blogs I got really excited (almost as excited as I am when riding on a raw chocolate high) and decided to join. This is how Earthsprout was born. Now I use the site to play with the wonders of nature and let it flow of all passion and playfulness that, according to me, life and crazy health is all about.
Golubka is one of those brilliant sites that I can simply sit in front of, read, enjoy (and drool a bit) so imagine my excitement when Anya asked me to contribute to this space of "Food that takes love". Um, yes please! So here we go, gorgeous!
For this very special occasion I decided to put the current Swedish spring on a plate (it was snowing yesterday but still) and play with the contrast of fresh -makes my cell dance- greens and hearty BBQ seasoned Grissini. This dish will tell you exactly what is going on outside of my window using both flavor, texture and overall appearance to paint the picture. And let me tell you, I was not the slightest bit bored while eating…
Fun & Fabulous Facts
For those of you who does not know me, I have a hard time making food that does not contain any superpowers at all. I mean, what fun would it be creating meals out of uber-processed ingredients or meat from sad animals? My goal is forever and always to lure out the glitter in everyone's eyes, give some balance to Mother Earth and let our food become a smash-hit for everyone on this planet! You on board? This is why Raw, Pure, Whole and Vegan foods suit me so well. They give me a full palette of gorgeous colors to paint your plate with while boosting beauty, longevity and love at its very core.
You have all heard about the wonders of greens and all greatness that comes with munching on them regularly. This is why I will not go over it all again. See this as a little reminder that you are so worth living in your fullest potential, and the greens? The best shortcut ever!
I for one know that I can fly far far off on Raw desserts but when I down a huge green juice, that´s when I feel the most satisfied. Fact is our bodies all long for the alkalinity that glorious greens give us since most of us tend to hang around on the sour side of the pH-scale. Many (if not all) of our so called chronic dis-eases have their breeding ground in a sour, oxygen lacking, inflammatory environment. Guess what the solution is? This greenylicious herb soup! Alright, not solely that, but all the wondrous gifts of nature that up our oxygen-game making it hard for imbalances to occur and making it easy for you living in all the greatness that you are.
Raw Greenylicious Herb Soup (Makes 1 litre)
This soup will (apart from blow your mind) serve 10 peeps as an appetizer or 4 hungry ones as a dinner. You could actually eat it as a green smoothie on the go but it shows its best sides when dancing together with the heavy seasoned bread sticks. Duh ;)
1.5 medium sized Avocado
2 stalks of Celery, finely chopped
1 large handful of roughly chopped Cilantro
1 small handful of roughly chopped Mint
1.5 cup Coconut water
1 cup cold water
1 small tsp of Himalayan salt/Celtic sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground Black pepper
Some fresh garden cress for decoration and final flavor touch
Cut and scoop out the avocados in a large bowl or a high speed blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a hand blender or in the high speed blender. Keep refrigerated.
BBQ Grissini (Makes 16, 7 inches long bread sticks)
1 cup Sunflower seeds
1 cup Golden flax seeds
2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds (ground for decoration)
Soak the Sunflower seeds and flax overnight in separate bowls, using approximately 2 cups of water for the flax (the amount of water covering the sunflower seeds does not matter). Rinse the sunflower seeds thoroughly, put in a large bowl together with the flax "dough" and blend with a hand blender or in a high speed blender. Make the BBQ spice and blend again until fully incorporated. Make 7 inches long grissini & sprinkle the black ground sesame seeds onto them. Put them on a non stick paper/Teflex sheet and dehydrate in a dehydrator for about 18 hours (flip them over after 10 hours). Done!
3 small cloves of garlic
0.5 tsp smoked paprika powder
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 pinch of chilli
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp ground coriander seeds
2 tsp dried oregano
1.5 small tsp salt
Press the garlic cloves and add all spices to the sunflower/flax "dough".
So, known and unknown friends I hope you will all enjoy this foodie illustration of the Swedish spring and hop on over to Twitter, Facebook or Earthsprout if you have any questions, fun ideas or stuff like that. Looking forward to hear from you, honeys!
–And a final thanks for the beautiful Golubka family for continuously presenting inspiration that makes all our hearts sing!– Much bliss and love /Elenore

Whether you've already got your ticket, or looking for a great reason to get hold of one, Wired.co.uk's speaker profiles should give you several reasons to look forward to the conference.Today's featured speaker is...Ferran AdriàJob title: ChefFerran Adrià is deemed to be one of the most influential chefs of the last decade. His restaurant, El Bulli, was recognised by Restaurant magazine as the best restaurant in the world in 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and held three Michelin stars when Adrià closed its doors in 2011. In its final year, the restaurant received two million requests for table bookings.Adrià's cooking is often associated with "molecular gastronomy", though the Catalan chef prefers to think of his dishes as deconstructivist. Working alongside his brother Albert, Adrià has made dishes in which each ingredient is reconfigured and given a new texture, using candyfloss machines, soda siphons, liquid nitrogen, Pacojets, dehydrators, lyophilisers and syringes. In 2010, El Bulli's thinktank -- the taller -- and Adrià's Alicia Foundation of Catalonian food, published the Modern Gastronomy A to Z: A Scientific and Gastronomic Lexicon, a cookbook with a periodic table at its heart, which reduces ingredients to their chemical level.Adrià is currently working on LaBullipedia -- a culinary Wikipedia -- and on turning the El Bulli into an innovation centre for food. To find out more about Adrià's ambitious plans, check out the Wired 10/12 feature on how Adrià is staying creative. Ferran Adrià will be speaking at Wired 2012 -- a compelling two-day event in London, where we bring the values of Wired magazine to life.

We have gotten more than 10,000 hits already on posts explaining that Hurricane Sandy did NOT in fact destroy the Atlantic City iconic Boardwalk last fall.
Now a new survey from the Atlantic City Alliance, which does marketing for the 12 casinos, shows our work is not done:
The latest survey by the Atlantic City Alliance, the new marketing arm for the casinos, says 25 percent of respondents now believe the nation's first boardwalk was ruined by the Oct. 29 storm.
It was even worse in November, when an amazing 41 percent still believed the bogus national news reports.
As the Associated Press story notes, "only a two-block portion of a previously damaged and condemned section that had been slated for demolition washed away in the storm. The main Boardwalk behind the nine oceanfront casinos came through the storm unscathed."

Most commonly found on the face, acne can be visible on the neck, the upper arms, the chest and the back. Acne problems can be mild or serious and the blemishes vary in terms of appearance, but they are skin problems that all need to be acted upon. After all, the acne problem is not merely a physical one; it leads to negative psychological and emotional effects as well.
Acne breakouts peak in women occur when between ages 14 to 17, and boys within the ages 16 to 19 experience the worst acne issues. Some 14% of women continue to have the problem even in their 40s, and pregnancy only leads to worse breakouts. To resolve the embarrassing issue, people have been found to spend roughly $1.4 billion dollars each year on acne treatments. Sadly, most products that claim to be the best acne treatment are in fact, ineffective and unsafe.
Acne Treatment Centre offers a wealth of information about the chronic skin condition. The website aims to educate individuals on the seemingly lifelong battle against pimple-like pustules that, when picked, leave ugly traces on the skin. The people behind AcneTreatmentCentre.org have determined a number of products that meet the standards for best acne treatment. The website lists highly recommended creams that are able to work effectively against acne conditions.
AcneTreatmentCentre.org top-ranks Exposed Skin Care, which is getting positive reviews from 98% of users. Coming with a full year guarantee, the product promises to prevent acne from inflicting the skin over and over again to give users worry-free skin.
According to AcneTreatmentCentre.org, Zenmed Acne Treatment System offers a range of product combinations to treat different types of acne. The product allows users to assess their acne condition and decide on the best treatment. The Zenmed product range includes the Derma Cleanse System, Acne Therapy for Oily Skin, Acne Therapy for Combination Skin and Acne Therapy for Dry and Mature Skin.
Clear Pores takes the third top spot on the AcneTreatmentCentre.org list. The anti-acne system includes the Cleansing Wash for cleansing, the Herbal Formula for toning, and the Protective Cream for moisturizing. The three products serve to help shield the skin from further being attacked by acne.

You guys have alot of great motivational quotes in your signatures. I was going to tell my girlfriend a couple of them but then I realized I had no idea who's signatures they were in. I tried searching but the search popped up everyone's journal. I figure it would be fun and helpful if we designate this thread to motivational quotes that get our asses to the gym or just make us feel good.
Here's a couple that I read yesterday...
"It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare.
It's because we don't dare that things are difficult." -Seneque
"Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the one who thinks he can. -Bruce Lee
(I took both those off a youtube.com video I saw yesterday)

Question 1
Were there any statements made by the U.S. delegation in connection with signature of the Convention or at the session of the U.N. General Assembly when the Convention was adopted? If so, please provide them.
Answer 1
Below are internet links to the full text of statements made:
(1) by Ambassador John Negroponte, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, to the UN General Assembly in New York on October 31, 2003 (the date the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention), and
(2) by Attorney General John Ashcroft to the High Level Signing Conference in Merida, Mexico on December 9, 2003 (the date the U.S. signed the Convention).
Question 2
What is the authoritative nature of the travaux préparatoires that was submitted to the Senate for its information in connection with submission of the Convention?
Answer 2
The Interpretive Notes for the official records (travaux préparatoires) serve to preserve certain points relating to articles of the instruments that are subsidiary to the text but nonetheless of potential interpretive importance. In accordance with customary international law, as reflected in Article 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, preparatory work such as that memorialized in the Interpretive Notes may serve as a supplementary means of interpretation, if an interpretation of the treaty done in good faith and in accordance with the ordinary meaning given to the terms of the treaty results in ambiguity or is manifestly absurd. Thus, the Interpretive Notes, while not binding as a matter of treaty law, could be important as a guide to the meaning of terms in the Convention and Protocols.
Question 3
In the course of the negotiations, and in preparing to submit the Convention to the Senate, did the Executive Branch review the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption to ensure that the obligations of those conventions did not conflict with the obligations of the UN Convention?
Answer 3
The interagency team tasked with negotiating the UN Convention carefully considered the provisions of the OECD and Inter-American Conventions when developing and negotiating UN Convention provisions. They sought to ensure that U.S. compliance with the UN Convention provisions would not adversely affect or conflict with our implementation of OECD and Inter-American Convention provisions. At the same time, the negotiating team searched for areas where we could, consistent with current U.S. law and practice, strengthen standards found in the OECD and Inter-American Conventions. As a result, the final provisions of the UN Convention contain provisions that are almost identical to those found in the OECD and Inter-American Conventions (i.e. – articles on criminalizing bribery of domestic and foreign public officials) and others that are not found in either convention (i.e. – asset recovery chapter).
Question 6
In the United States, what laws or programs fulfill the obligation of Article 13?
Answer 6
The U.S. has a variety of laws and practices in place that promote the active participation of individuals and groups outside the public sector in the domestic fight against corruption. For example, our Inspectors General and various law enforcement agencies provide hotlines that allow the public to report potential mismanagement or corrupt government activities. Our Freedom of Information Act allows public access to government information. Our Administrative Procedures Act provides for open and transparent government decision-making and the input of the public into government rulemaking. Various organizations, including the Offices of Inspectors General and the General Accountability Office, produce publicly-available reports on government activities and efforts to stem mismanagement and corruption within government. The public-availability of government budgets and related financial information allow the public to monitor and help shape government fiscal priorities and spending. Furthermore, various government agencies and offices involved in the prevention of corruption and promotion of integrity within government, such as the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, maintain outreach to non-governmental and private sector individuals and organizations via internet websites and formal advisory groups.
Question 11
What is likely to be on the agenda for the first Conference of States Parties? How is that agenda being formulated? What role is the United States playing in shaping the agenda?
Answer 11
The agenda for the first Conference of States Parties will likely include several topics for plenary debate that will help parties establish a future process for promoting and reviewing implementation of the Convention and facilitating related donor technical assistance. We expect that the Conference will seek to determine how best to gather information on how countries are implementing the convention and how to best facilitate and integrate donor technical assistance. The Conference is also mandated by UN General Assembly Resolution 58/4 of October 31, 2003 (the resolution which formally adopted the Convention) to consider how the Convention standards might be utilized to fight corruption within international organizations. The Conference agenda may also include side-events that showcase international and regional anticorruption efforts and allow dialogue with nongovernmental observers.
A draft agenda for the first Conference of States Parties is currently being developed by the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna, with the input of various Convention parties and signatories. Any such draft agenda must be approved by the Conference at its opening session in December.
The U.S. is active in trying to shape the agenda and ensure that the work of the Conference ultimately leads to wide implementation of the Convention provisions and more effective international efforts to fight corruption. We have attended multiple informal meetings in the past two years – in Vienna and elsewhere -- with various interested governments to help shape an agenda that will further our goals mentioned above. We will continue to work closely with UNODC and relevant governments on this issue.
