So I was one of those people that thought I had the best eater. My daughter would eat every veggie under the sun as well as any kind of fish, exotic seasonings, meats, etc. from the time she was 6 months old to probably 12-14 months old. Then toddlerhood struck and she won't touch veggies, fish, etc. Argh! I have had a lot of anxiety over this and try to just calm down since she still eats very well (all whole grains, loves her fruit, loves yogurt, hummus, most meats still, etc.). But she is much pickier and veggies are just off the table, period. I have had success hiding them in whole wheat banana/pumpkin bread, zucchini muffins, all veggie tomatoe sauce, etc. And I still serve her actual veggies at dinner in hopes that one day she'll suddenly pick one up. But I am wondering if others have creative ideas for hiding veggies in food?
Advice for hiding veggies in food?
She too is on a veg strike. Her favorite food used to be roasted broccoli ... Now? Nada
cauliflour mashed potatoes and do em up like loaded mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon or whatever and LO will probably love it.
I, personally, wouldn't hide veggies.. many nutritionists say that hiding veggies can set kids up for life long issues with veggies. I think preparing veggies in different ways - roasted, steamed, mashed, curried etc is great. But I wouldn't "hide" them.
First of all, toddlers being picky eaters is totally normal and not a problem normally.
IF your toddler is refusing veggies you don't need to hide them or just give up. Here are some options that do work:
1) keep offering, usually they will eventually start eating them again.
2) branch out - if she won't eat peas and carrots - how about beets? Spaghetti squash? Kholrabi? Lima beans?
3) prepare them differently: He won't eat steamed broccoli? How about roasted cauliflour? Or mashed turnips? Or raw broccoli with hummus? Won't eat steamed peas? How about curried peas? Dried peas? Curried spinach? Quiche with peas in it?
Our DD loves curried spinach and peas, roasted anything (we roast a mix of beets, parsnips, carrots, squash and potatos and she'll eat in warm or cold any time).
Anyways, just my thoughts. People tend to see veggies as something served steamed with a little salt and pepper when in realty there are many many ways to serve veggies that are tasty and nutritious.
I grate caulilower/broccoli into most meals for both of my girls, though, my 6 year old now recognizes the taste and is on to me!
Dee ~ Momma of 4 and 1 man-child ~ 3 Angels lost to m/c.
Rainbow Baby!! Gabriella ~ VBAC baby born on her EDD 10/3/11
Zucchini and sweet potato fries
Cauliflower mashed potatoes
Puréed parsnips and carrots (so good!)
Orzo pasta with parmasean cheese and fresh cooked spinach
Grilled avocado/spinach/Swiss sandwich
Veggie soup
Good luck!

I do know it was way easier to say I'd never sneak veggies when he was eating ANY of them...boy did things change after month 3 of the vigil...lol
So, despite my previous leanings, I and I'm sure many other parents, see the 'sneaking' as less of an issue than not getting the vitamins and nutrients his developing body and brain need. Especially when hes in the 20 th percentile for weight, but 80th for height! And I can't speak for anyone but myself when I say that we will be continuing for as long as needed...

SHANGHAI (AP) — Zhao Jing of China gave the home crowd an early thrill Tuesday, winning the women's 100-meter backstroke at the world swimming championships.
Zhao finished in 59.05 seconds, sending red-clad and drum-beating fans into celebration in the second final of the night,
Anastasia Zueva of Russia took the silver with a time of 59.06 seconds. Natalie Coughlin of the United States, who led after 50 meters, earned the bronze in 59.05 seconds.

Joining the Honor Roll: ALA Award Winners, 2003
The American Library Association annually honors the best and brightest in the profession through its divisions, offices, and round tables with more than 250 awards, scholarships, and grants. Fueled by a variety of donors and sponsors, recognition is given for individual and collective achievement in the various areas of librarianship. The winners are selected by award juries who work tirelessly to select from thousands of dedicated and qualified librarians nationwide.
American Libraries salutes all of the 2003 award recipients, the donors for making the awards possible, and the committee members for donating their time.
The following not only contains information on 2003 award recipients, but also lists information on all ALA, division, and round table awards as well as on new awards for 2004. The nomination or application deadline for most awards is December 1, unless otherwise noted.
BARBARA GITTINGS Honorary Member
Barbara Gittings was awarded ALA's highest honor "for her lifelong commitment to developing positive images of gays and lesbians in the literature and on library shelves, and for ensuring equal access to information for all people."
As the principal force behind the growth of the former ALA Gay Task Force (now the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table), Gittings developed programs to highlight the availability of gay materials for use in libraries. In 1971, she helped to establish the Gay Book Award, leading to new critical evaluation for gay and lesbian fiction and nonfiction. Gittings also initiated the development of lists, directories, and policy guides that, for many years, were the only models available to support the work of gay library workers and clients.
Gittings has been an activist since 1958, when she established the first East Coast chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis, the first known lesbian organization in the United States. In 1970, she became involved with ALA's Task Force on Gay Liberation and served as the group's coordinator from 1971 to 1986. Gittings is a past member of San Francisco Public Library's Hormel Center Gay and Lesbian Library Endowment Committee and a member of a number of gay, lesbian, and human-rights organizations.
Gittings's pioneering efforts regarding gay and lesbian librarianship and intellectual freedom have been featured in several books, including Daring to Find Our Names (Greenwood, 1998) and Before Stonewall: Activists for Gay and Lesbian Rights in Historical Context (Haworth, 2002), as well as documentary films, including Before Stonewall and its sequel After Stonewall, Out of the Past, and PBS's Gay Pioneers.
Her accomplishments have been recognized through the creation of the ALA Stonewall-Barbara Gittings Book Award for Literature and through the dedication of the Barbara Gittings Gay/Lesbian Collection of circulating materials at the Independence Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia in 2001 (AL, Aug. 2001, p. 28).
SAMUEL F. MORRISON Honorary Member
Samuel F. Morrison, former director of the Broward County (Fla.) Library System, received ALA's highest honor "for his long and distinguished career in librarianship, his tireless and unflagging promotion of library services, his vision in establishing landmark partnerships between libraries and other community organizations, and his commitment to developing the next generation of librarians as a mentor and supporter of library education."
In addition to nearly 30 years of service at the Broward County Library, which was named Library Journal's Library of the Year in 1996, Morrison was also instrumental in the establishment of the Broward County's new African-American Research Library and Cultural Center in Fort Lauderdale, which opened in 2002 (AL, Oct. 2002, p. 26). He is recognized for initiating innovative partnerships to create joint-use facilities with Florida area colleges, universities, and schools. …

Monday-Tuesday: The Ohio state Board of Education is scheduled to decide on guidelines for waiving some state requirements (including maximum student:teacher ratios, the length of teachers' required planning time and the saying of the Pledge of Allegiance) for schools. The board will also discuss the search for a state superintendent, rules about the use of seclusion and restraint in schools, and new teacher licensure tests.
Monday: Cleveland's mayor is set to officially announce members of the Cleveland Transformation Alliance. The alliance is a nonprofit group that will make recommendations to the Ohio Department of Education on which groups can sponsor new charter schools in Cleveland, among other duties.
Monday: Cincinnati school board is scheduled to consider unspecified special security arrangement.
Tuesday: The Ohio state Senate could vote on an amended bill to change schools' state report cards by, among other things, instituting an A-F rating system. If the Senate approves the amended bill, it will head back to the House.
Friday: Campaign finance reports are due, which means it's a chance to see how much the Cleveland levy campaign cost and who contributed to state Board of Education races.

I bought this with my order and used it as well as another brand in Guam. This worked well but you have to be careful not to use too much or it just goops up. Pretty much less is better. The other brand was thinner but I didnt see much difference between them. Overall this works pretty well for the price. The size is pretty large so it will last a long time.

May 30, 2016
According to statistics, every 15 seconds a woman becomes a victim of domestic violence. Because this is nationwide, that includes victims right where you are.
A conference on domestic violence in Meridian Friday drew social workers, law enforcement officials and teachers together to learn better how to combat this problem. Professionals say no one is immune.
"We've had doctors, lawyers and we've had those who had no income at all," said Gwen Graham of Care Lodge Domestic Violence Center in Meridian.
Even state Sen. Gloria Williamson of Philadelphia shared how domestic violence in her first marriage affected her life.
"The more he would drink, the more he fought and my children were affected by this," said Williamson.
She says this even affected her daughter in a future relationship.
"He broke four ribs with a baseball bat. She had hair in the back of her head that never grew back where he had pulled it out," Williamson said.
Because domestic violence affects the whole family, Williamson says more must be done to stop and prevent it. A member of the state's Juvenile Justice Task Force, Williamson says statistics show a growing number of students starting a life of crime as young as fourth grade.
There are mounting discipline problems in the classroom.
With newly passed legislation this year making domestic violence in front of a child a felony crime requiring automatic jail time, Williamson says Mississippi is a leader in addressing this problem.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, help is available. The number to call is 693-HOPE.

DUI and crash bring jail timeApril 06,2013DUI and crash
bring prison time
BENNINGTON A Pownal man will serve eight days in jail after pleading guilty Friday to drunken driving and leaving the scene of a crash in separate October incidents.
Jeremy M. Wilson, 34, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court to a felony DUI count and a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of a crash which caused property damage.
The state dismissed three other pending felony counts of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Wilson was arraigned on two felony counts of drunk driving Oct. 29 and two more felony counts of the same charge, plus the misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident, Oct. 31.
Police said in the first case Wilson was legally inebriated when he was stopped on Route 7 in Pownal on Oct. 13.
In the second case, police said Wilson fled from a crash near a horse farm on Middle Pownal Road on Oct. 21. He was found hiding in a horse pasture, police said.
A breath test indicated Wilsons blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit for driving, police said.
Wilson was sentenced Friday to serve one to two years in prison, but all of it was suspended except for eight days.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...

All That Glitters
As one might expect from the name of the eatery, things are a bit bedazzled at Café Kristall—perhaps not surprising, given that Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner's newest Austrian eatery is inside the Swarovski Crystallized boutique.
Kristall's menu is dominated by Austrian dishes (the Swarovski jewelry brand is also Austrian), but tailored to include soups, salads and lighter entrees for those who lunch and shop in SoHo. A few crystals on display and mirrored surfaces accent the minimalist dining room. Mr. Gutenbrunner's signature style has been recognized with the Michelin star at his fine-dining restaurant Wallsé.
Salads ($9 to $13) include a yellowtail, an octopus carpaccio with black olives and limes and a crab meat with marinated fennel. On the heavier side, there's a spicy egg sandwich ($10) and spätzle with a portion of shrimp and broccoli ($16) and Wiener schnitzel with cucumber salad ($25). The real reason to stop? The pastry counter.
Café Kristall, 70 Mercer Street, near Broome, serves lunch 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. 212-274-1500.

First, a little background. In December 2008, IBM, Canonical and Virtual Bridges announced a strategy to offer virtual Ubuntu desktops. The VAR Guy hasn't tested the solution, but he thinks the virtual desktops actually run on centralized IBM servers (on a customer site or in a VAR's data center). Users, in turn, can access the centralized productivity applications from a range of clients. And somehow, the system even supports offline users. Magic (translation: The VAR Guy can't explain how it all really works.)
Today's NewsNow, fast forward to the present. According to a press release issued today, Virtual Bridges says 16 new channel partners embraced the Ubuntu virtualization solution in Q1. And those channel partners serve customers in Germany, France, England, Italy, South Africa, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico and the United States. This more than doubles the partner network for Virtual Bridges offerings, the company adds.
Of course, Virtual Bridges is crowing a bit over the news. In a prepared statement, Virtual Bridges CEO Jim Curtain said:
"The global recession is driving companies of all sizes to seek the cost savings that a virtual Linux desktop can provide. The surge in our reseller ecosystem indicates that PC management has moved to the top of IT priority list. The IBM-Virtual Bridges-Canonical desktop delivers a sea-change in desktop infrastructure cost versus Microsoft products."
Managed Service Providers: Cashing In?Among the most interesting tidbits of info: Midas Networks, a solutions provider in Austin Texas, is hosting Virtual Bridges for customers. In other words, Midas Networks is a managed service provider of sorts, offering Ubuntu-based SaaS (software as a service) applications to end-customers. Intriguing. Smart. And definitely where the IT channel is heading.
Still, let's keep things in perspective. The IBM-Virtual Bridges-Canonical relationship truly is promising. And Virtual Bridges' momentum seems impressive. But 16 new partners is a tiny number compared to Microsoft's massive channel partner network, and many VARs remain fiercely loyal to Microsoft.
To be sure, Canonical's channel program for Ubuntu remains a work in progress. Canonical this month is launching new training programs for Ubuntu Server Edition, And Hewlett-Packard is expected to begin certifying its ProLiant Servers to run Ubuntu shortly. Plus, it's safe to expect Canonical to position its new Landscape 1.3 remote management tool for VARs and MSPs.
Of course, plenty of questions remain about the Ubuntu partner channel. Can Virtual Bridges and its growing network of VARs and MSPs really profit from hosted and virtual Ubuntu desktops? How much of the money will flow back to Canonical? Hmmm. Plenty of questions. Time for The VAR Guy to go find some answers.

The people are nice here, it is a student town, lots of café's, restaurants, parks and museums, and lots of shops. And yes we do have canals too. And our famous wharves, where you can have diner or and drinks.
The city is smaller then Amesterdam, but has real nice spots, go to the area around the DOM, and you find real treasures, or just wander around and see for your selfs.
The city is good located, as it is in the middle of the country, and easy in reach by train, and close to the airport
Just come and see for yourself!!!!!!!!!
- Pros:a lot of things to do, and better then amsterdam
- Cons:do not know!!!
- In a nutshell:Utrecht is the place to go

yet another holiday is up on us …..we spend time cleaning and decorating graves of those that made the sacrifice for our freedoms……but really most are thinking more about the three or four day holiday that begins our summer ….instead of another holiday with flags and parades and cookouts ….we might just try living …
20 years of service ….two tours in Vietnam …two tours in Korea …four years in Germany and many moves from camp to camp …school to school,…
again the VA has put my husband in a state of depression….he gathered and copied and applied for the umpteenth time for points on his benefits and retirement….only to have it all moved again …. then receives a letter stating that they need more …more visits to update dr. reports and then a few trips to different part of state to see dr.s not related to last visit……more because they play a game with our service people they wait and wait and then when they look at application it is pass the date and they need all of it updated …mean while the veteran grows older and the application grows stale and around and around we go…every time they delay or move up he loses money and points …but then their game is to make people think they are taking care of our vets ……the only thing my vet has not applied for is pstd….when he came home from NAM…he was spit on called baby killer and could not wear his uniform down town for fear it would happen all over….he and others from that time did not have pstd or stress cards or an 800 # to call…they sucked it up and continued on …he flew agent orange ..he was coated in the chemical every time he flew it ….watched beautiful forest turn to death valley…. .today our children pay the price for agent orange …he followed orders and shot people down just because they looked like the enemy …. .he flew young men and women out of hell holes with half their bodies gone …he watched young children carrying grenade blow up in front of him .. to this day jumps with loud noises … nope it was called battle fatigue and one carried on and either drank it away or smoked it away or just went on with life best they could …..there seems to be a pstd for everyone today ……..every time the VA sends him a request ….he goes deeper into a depressed state…..but he get right back up and gathers their requested paper work and try one more time to get his benefits …. so on memorial day when you help place flags and clean graves of veterans long gone from this world ….. try to remember the one that still standing and fighting battles of not being able to cope…. .who have to fight new battles to make their loves lives secure …. sorry to rant but one grows old fast when dealing with this type of thing ……we are off now to kill more trees and burden the world with more paperwork ….in the end there will be one hell of a bonfire when all is done and we can destroy all the kept paper work …have a wonderful holiday ….we are going to try to…..when we grow old and tired…. sometimes the best thing to go for a ride and take in a view that makes you feel small….

April has arrived and mother nature has not given up ….been in Alaska for 30 plus years and she has never failed to scatter snow on the ground for us at Easter ….easier to find silly colored eggs in the white fluffy stuff I guess…. we had many beautiful warm days this last week …melting snow….longer days ….more sunlight….mosquitos…returning birds and other wildlife have return from their deep sleep of winter …..along with all the returning life there comes death of many things ..soon our darkness will be gone and the chase of the northern lights will be gone…no need for heavier clothing…we will change winter boots for mucking boots …….many will bury their love ones who passed during the many frozen months….many will travel to fish camps ….others will gather their fishing gear for deeper waters….other their hunting gear…..we will all live fast ….never sleeping til we fall out from over burn….gather every bit of the sun and daylight for our sun starved bodies……there few things that won't change with the seasons…..sickness…worrying about love ones…. the living …the dying…loving and caring….. the next week will be a real test for some ….
like the aurora corona one can either learn to just look on or allow themselves to be drawn into the center and travel with the speed of light ……

We are beginning break up here in Alaska….we still have lots of snow and ice ,no spring green yet….so our green for saint paddy's day comes from the heavens ….not sure why I continue to try to capture the lights ….it never measures up once I get to the computer to edit …but I am having fun …. if it matters I still do get excited when viewing from the back of camera…..the numbers on the data page and the info from many web cams screamed storm ….. everyone seems to capture a different storm
…most of their shots were true to raining auroras…mine were just lots of green with just tinges of pinks and reds and moving so fast ….made your head and tripod dance in high gear….. early in the storm I watched the skies
… read the many pages of aurora chasers ….I can never stop laughing at the ones who think because they are taking photos everyone should bow down to their work….and their made up rules
…..their many post of aurora watching etiquette……no joke there are 18 or more pages of these fine rules on the net …..my come back to theses fine rules and guide lines…. GET A LIFE…if your shots are that important find a new spot away from all the hot viewing spots…..
it has become a very sad world when one makes rules for others on how they should act when viewing nature …… no one should have to worry about lights on a vehicle because it cause light that will ruin your photo
…no one should have to worry about your camera and tripod in the dark … try putting glow in dark reflective tape on the bottom of you tripod …
why should I have to look for another spot to view auroras just because you are taking photos….and if you are in the dark bundled up in dark clothes you need to try putting reflective tape on your aurora shooting clothes …it is your life
…yes I am a driver of an auto but you have to be responsible as well……why do all your rules of etiquette tell the new viewer or aurora shooter what to do …..what about you …why do you feel that you are in charge of a public place …I hope every new viewer turns on their lights …holds their foot on the brake light…trip over your unmarked tripod …invades your public space…..and scared you when they almost run over you ….come on people it's a big world and a bigger state and the last time I looked the sky over head did not belong to anyone
climbing down off soap box and going back outdoors to take more shots of the awesome world ….

Today is our day to go to accountant and get the bad news of what we owe…..we know already we will owe …… owe big time…..but that is life ….we could have …or should I say we should have paid in so this would not be the fact ….but keeping warm and having a full belly and just plain life dictated differently…… so here we are …..the front clump of snow in the photo says it all we are here but it could have been different …
so off we go with our hand full of papers that took their own sweet time getting here …and our bellies churn ….. thoughts of all the things going on around us scream louder than the keys of the accountants computer ….
Somehow our paying in is supposed to be what the government thinks we all should do….. seems to me back some where in history we fought so we would not be so taxed ……we seem to tax everything any more that makes someone else feel threaten … or makes other feel good…. not sure there is anything not taxed of late ….soft drinks,cigs,gas,phone,net,booze, soon it will be the grill you grill on …..
the little windsock hanging in the tree has been hanging there since fourth July ……when we first hung it up it blew back and forth in the wind ……but some time during the deep dark winter it began to hang on to the tree with each wind it clung tighter ….sort of like us hard earning people of the USA …we are strong and we will play the game til it is time to unclench our fist and step forward in battle …. we go now to the tax collector and give it our all ….I MEAN OUR ALL…..

Sometimes one just has to stop and view things from different angle……
I envision the little mounds of snow talking among themselves …..
Bump bump ….hurry up …move on….what is the hold up?….what are we sitting here for …. can we cross now….why are stop signs always red…hey leave me be I was only shaking off some ice…..hey you there you have a five o'clock shadow ….. hey I like your new shape….is it just me are does the new snow make me look bigger…..hey anyone back there willing to step up front I am melting ……
Can you hear them ….maybe I have been locked up inside to long …things just look different in the sunlight…..
Still Standing MOM….I am still standing ….

It finally happen ….we both could get together…..even when it looks like we aren't
talking our cameras are…….we see the same light …we hear the same light …yes
hear light …it twirls around your lens and gathers force that makes you click the button that captures and draws the vision into your disks
…I needed the time out and about with like mind ….it was windy,cold to the bone but very,very sunny …I HAD FUN…thanks Vicky Padgett for an awesome time……she drove us around on very icy roads
…at temps that belonged at the real north pole …..the walk about we were not chasing the sun it was standing still for us…..it flickered off the ice and the tips of the trees
finding its way in to the tracks of the animals
…..we hear airplanes over head …birds……snowmachiners….. it was the refreshing day both for us cabin bound people along with our cameras that are starved for light of day…….but our short visit with the great outdoors and the beautiful sun had to come to a stop….
we had to stop and take photos of the piles of snow around the stop sign
all the little mounds of snow looked like they were waiting to cross the roads…. what a day ..what crazy thoughts ….here is my favorite shot of the day
I am still standing MOM …..I AM STILL STANDING

The Golden Bowl (1904)
by Henry James
20th Century Literature (500)
» 7 more
Unread books (491)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
What is best about James' work in this novel is the degree to which he represents people as complicated beings with mixed motives and the chance to grow and change over time. What is worst is the slow pace of the plot and the disregard of the reader's need to, at some point, end one sentence and start a new one. Overall, the result of this mix of qualities was positive for this book. I was left with a sense of hope for the happiness of most of the characters, though I was less sure about Charlotte. It was also interesting to see the use of the bowl to represent the overall conflict.
This was a complicated and nuanced book that required effort to read. It was worth the effort. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed The Ambassadors, and if there is anyone out there who enjoyed The Wings of the Dove this book will be easy to also enjoy.
Very fine, fascinating writing, too refined to be very good
It appears as though his earlier works were better written. By the time I got to "The Wings of the Dove" (1902) I had grown tired of him. By the end of his career, there wasn't a simple action or thought that he couldn't convey in an unending stream of words. His mantra seemed to be, "I could be succinct, but why? I enjoy writing. I couldn't give a damn whether I burden the reader with my verbal diarrhea." A highly overrated writer, maybe because he was an ex-patriot.
"I've just read The Golden Bowl and the last 2 vols of Leon Edel's Henry James biography which I enjoyed very much." (Letter to Bob Smith, 13 April 1973.) (Pym, A very private eye. Granada, 1985. p. 383.)
"I have chosen ... for my Desert Island Discs ... the book Henry James The Golden Bowl (which I have already stumbled through once)." (Letter to Philip Larkin, 27 July 1978.) (Pym, A very private eye. Granada, 1985. p. 444.)
Rated: F-
I struggled through about 10% of this classic. James' writing style, for me, was a beating. Long flowing sentences and paragraphs the lost me at times. Hard for me to enjoy, so I stopped reading. First book to drop in years.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140432353, Paperback)'This story of the alliance between Italian aristocracy and American millionaires is "a work unique among all [James'] novels: it is [his] only novel in which things come out right for his characters ...he had finally resolved the questions, curious and passionate, that had kept him at his desk on his inquiries into the process of living. He could now make his peace with America - and he could now collect and unify the work of a lifetime' - Leon Edel in "The Life of Henry James".
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:13:44 -0400)
James' controversial novel probes the mind of an American heiress as she becomes aware of the affair between her husband and her father's young wife.

Reporter's Notebook: Simon has his say
In this week's issue of City Pages, we profile motivational speaker Russell Simon. Last week, Simon sent a letter our way making his case. He asked that we post it word-for-word, which we did after the jump.
I'd like to say that my counselor, Mr. Barry V. Voss, is the very best in my book.
Even though the jury got it wrong and found me guilty of 5 of the 9 felonies I was bogusly charged with by Mr. Jeb Bedbad's office, I was found not guilty on the charges that carried a life without parole sentence. Which is what Mr. Bedband's office seeked.
I and my attorney Barry V. Voss 100 percent believe that the judge in this case certainly made rulings and his own rulings were miscarriages of the law and will be overturned in the appellate courts.
One must remember we tried for a change of venue on 3 separate occasions only to be denied by [the judge] each time.
Isanti County is a hick town with a wild wild west mentality and their own laws.
I've never heard or been in a courtroom across America where when asked if you money for an attorney and, "No," that the judge hands you a business card and says call the public defenders' office and then orders a urine analysis test without representation.
What a joke and slap in every taxpayer's face is Isanti County. And if they did this to me, they'be done it to others.
My jury consisted of 12 people: 7 women, 5 men. Of the 12 people the judge knew 7 of them personally. One of the jury members he married twice.
What a joke. And I got a fair trial!
I and my attorney look forward to having our day in court and a new trial. Until then, the Isanti County "Squat Team," the "State Poopers," the "Grudges," the "Dumpities," and the "persecutors" can kiss my ass. Because they all helped set me up and got the wrong guy. We might have lost the battle, but we certainly have not lost the war.
It ain't over until the fat lady says it it.

A Good Appetite: Homemade ice cream with jammy fruit, syrupy caramel and enough tangy custard to savor between the sweet bits. Recipe: Rhubarb Ice Cream with a Caramel Swirl
Some ice cream is perfectly smooth, with nary a nut or chocolate fleck to distract your tongue from its voluptuous texture. Then there is ice cream akin to a sundae in a pint container: so full of nutty brittles, veins of fudge and chunks of cookie or brownie that the ice cream itself becomes pretty much secondary.
This rhubarb caramel ice cream strikes a balance between the two: chock-full of sweet bits, but with enough satiny frozen custard to savor between the chunks.
To keep the rhubarb from freezing into tooth-breaking fruity ice cubes, I stewed it with plenty of sugar, turning it into a syrupy compote. The high sugar content keeps the fruit soft. The technique works with any summer fruit, although it's especially nice with rhubarb, or gooseberries for that matter, both of which need a lot of sugar to tame their squint-inducing acid content. But you can substitute strawberries, apricots, cherries, peaches or plums as the summer fruit season progresses, adjusting the sugar depending upon the sweetness of the fruit.
The compote should taste just a bit cloying on the stove; that's how you will know you've added enough sugar. Honey works as a sweetener, too, and can add a deep, rich, earthy character — think apricot honey ice cream and swoon.

As if the rhubarb compote were not enough to flavor the ice cream, I also layered in sticky caramel. Here's a rule about caramel: The darker you let the sugar cook, the more complex the resulting caramel. I like to let the sugar caramelize until it's a rich, deep brown with a reddish cast, the color of an Irish setter or the red oak trim of my kitchen windows. What you don't want is black, which equals burned, which equals bitter. Simmer it slowly and check the hue by dripping some onto a white plate.
With all that syrupy caramel and jammy fruit, I wanted an ice cream base with a contrasting tang, so I used sour cream in place of some of the heavy cream. Yogurt, buttermilk, creme fraiche, cream cheese or even quark would give you a similar brightness. Or for something on the sweeter, gentler side of the spectrum, go ahead and use all heavy cream. You can't go wrong with the combination of rhubarb, caramel and ice cream.
Time: 1 hour 15 minutes plus steeping, chilling, churning and freezing
Yield: 1 scant quart
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 ¾ cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine sea salt
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups sour cream
¾ pound rhubarb, cut into ½-inch dice
½ cup heavy cream
1. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, whisk together the milk, ¾ cup sugar, the salt, vanilla bean seeds and pod. Simmer gently until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and steep 30 minutes. Discard vanilla pod and return mixture to a bare simmer.
2. Place the yolks in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in hot milk mixture. Scrape the custard back into the pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in sour cream. Chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
3. In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb with 1 cup sugar. Simmer until rhubarb is just tender and has begun releasing its juices, but has not started to fall apart, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer rhubarb to a bowl. Continue to simmer the juices until syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes more. Pour the syrup over the rhubarb. Cool completely.
4. In a clean, dry and preferably nonstick skillet, sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over medium heat. When it begins to melt and lightly color, sprinkle in 2 more tablespoons and start swirling pan to help evenly distribute sugar. Add the final 2 tablespoons and cook, swirling pan until all the sugar has melted. Let cook, swirling occasionally, until the sugar syrup caramelizes and turns dark brown. Pour in the cream and 2 tablespoons water (stand back; it may splatter). Simmer, stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula until smooth. Cool completely.
5. Pour the chilled custard base into an ice cream machine and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Add rhubarb compote for the last minute of churning.
6. Scrape a quarter of the caramel into a freezer-proof quart container. Top with a quarter of the ice cream. Repeat layering until all the caramel and ice cream has been used, ending with the ice cream. Freeze until firm for at least 2 hours and up to 1 week.

Vim Outliner orders your thoughts
Made to Order
If you need to outline an essay, make a list, or write something highly structured like a CSS file for a website, then look no further than the command line, especially if you're already comfortable with the Vim text editor.
Vim Outliner, a Vim plugin, offers the same capabilities as a desktop tool, delivered entirely by keyboard shortcuts. Vim Outliner is packaged by major distributions, but requires configuration first. To start, you need to install the Vim Package Manager, which should be a dependency but, in Debian and its derivatives, at least, is only recommended.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are Hollywood's current masters of having their cake and eating it, too. Put them in an impossible position -- say, rebooting a TV series about cops going undercover in high school or turning a box of plastic bricks into a motion picture -- and they'll give you a hit movie about what a stupid movie they've made. They live in the sweet spot where good ideas and bad ideas overlap to produce great ones.
"22 Jump Street" is, thus, a pointless sequel about pointless sequels, with Jonah Hill's Schmidt and Channing Tatum's Jenko constantly complaining about how they're being forced to do the same assignment as last time, only this time in college instead of high school. As Nick Offerman's top cop explains, "We're reviving a canceled undercover police program from the '80s and revamping it for modern times. You see, the guys in charge of this stuff lack creativity and are completely out of ideas. So all they do now is recycle shit from the past and expect us all not to notice." Get it? No? How about if we repeat the same joke a few dozen times, since recycling gags is also something they're poking fun at?
Also on the menu for "22" is the homosocial tension that lingers just beneath the surface of most buddy movies, the kind that's historically been warded off with an unhealthy dose of homophobic humor. "22 Jump Street" takes that tired, offensive old trope and drags it out into the light, with Schmidt and Jenko describing their partnership in terms so intimate that a campus psychologist pegs them as a romantic couple and starts offering relationship advice. Flavorwire's Jason Bailey summarizes:
"Maybe we should investigate different people," Jenko says, when their situation comes to a head. "Sow our cop oats." It's rather an obvious gag, as is their improvised couples therapy session with a school psychologist, who mistakes their status as partners with, y'know, "partners." Tatum's Jenko feigns indifference, while Hill overdoes the emotional instability ("He won't even hold my hand.") They do, in fact, go their separate ways -- to a montage scored by John Waite's "I Ain't Missing You" -- only to re-team and take down the bad guys during spring break in "Puerto Mexico." But Jenko wants to make sure the rules are clear: "You know this is just a one-time thing, right?" Schmidt nods, and applies sunscreen to his partner's neck.
The difference in "22 Jump Street" is that the humor is self-aware: It's meta-homophobia. (Hometaphobia?) When a third wheel enters Schmidt and Jenko's partnership in the form of a beaming blond quarterback played by Wyatt Russell, Lord and Miller stage his meeting with Jenko like a romantic comedy's meet-cute, throwing in a strained pun involving the collision of a meat sandwich and a Q-Tip for good measure. Later, Jenko blows his cover when one of the drug dealers he's meant to be hiding from uses an anti-gay slur (hint: the same one Hill had recently had to apologize for using in public), dressing him down with a lecture right out of his Human Sexuality 101 class.
The problem is that "22 Jump Street" drags out the joke for so long that it that the meta- starts to wear off, especially once it becomes clear they have no intention of taking it to its logical conclusion. Schmidt and Jenko are like a gay couple, but they're not gonna do anything yucky. Even in this putatively gay-friendly environment, there's still a buggery bugaboo: the jailhouse relationship between "21 Jump Street's" Rob Riggle and Dave Franco. At the climax of the first movie, Schmidt shot off Riggle's character's penis; it turns out he's had it replaced with a synthetic vagina, which his former accomplice and current cellmate is now expected to service regularly. Lord and Miller double-down on the gross-out joke sufficiently that it's clear that they're going for absurdist humor rather than any kind of comment on transsexuality, but the sequence still leaves a bad taste.
Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson imagines a different scenario, one where, if Schmidt and Jenko don't just do it already, the movie's at least unafraid to admit the tender bonds that can form between men without getting all weird about it.
In the same way that I would really like to see Adam Sandler develop the Jill character he created in the maybe unfairly maligned "Jack & Jill" (yes, I said it), perhaps in some sort of creative space where he doesn't feel the need to destroy stumbled-upon sincerity with garish humor, I'd like to see Tatum and Hill really explore their disarming chemistry. It doesn't have to be a gay romance, though that would be thrilling in myriad ways. But clearly the "aren't sequels dumb" action-comedy framework of "22 Jump Street" is just a cover for these two fine actors to investigate a particularly close bond between two men. So maybe they should find something, a little indie perhaps, where they can do just that. Leave Ice Cube's silly, misogynistic histrionics at home. Abandon the drug deals and the helicopter stunts. Maybe "23 Jump Street" is just the address of a house where they live, together. Where they can show us, with all the raucous distraction put aside for the moment, what's really going on between them.
Maybe exploring male bonding doesn't have the same degree of difficulty as adapting a children's book about edible precipitation, but it might be interesting to see Lord and Miller follow through on a good idea for once, rather than proving the great things they can do with bad ones.

As the towns rebuild, some lawmakers want to give businesses a break when fixing up their properties. Rebuilding after a natural disaster can be expensive; insurance money only covers so much. A proposal making its way through the General Assembly could help ease that burden on businesses, by providing a property tax break. Senator Dave Koehler (D-Peoria) says this would help stabilize local economies. Thousands Of Tornado Victims Apply For Federal Help By Associated Press • Dec 31, 2013 wikimedia commons Illinois officials say more than 2,000 people in counties declared federal disaster areas after tornadoes struck in November applied for federal assistance.

This has been by far the best app I have used to help my child learn and study her spelling lists from school. I utilize the customize option that allows me to create my own list and record my own audio for each word. In two days of my child using this app; flash cards, word challenge and spelling, she has already memorized her spelling words. I found this effective and extremely helpful. Not many apps allow you to create your own list and especially give more activities other than to use as flash cards. I am happy and thrilled we found an app that allows customization and several learning options. Thank you for a wonderful product!
Fun characters, awesome app!!!!
Get this app!!! I have nearly all sight word and spelling apps..this is one is very fun. You can add your child's spelling words into a custom made list. You can record your voice for these words. The app will mix it with other words, even words with same beginning letter to make it more challenging. If child gets answer correct, the cute character gets a body part. If answer is wrong, character loses a part. Don't get 3 strikes because you lose!
Great App For My Kids
The great part about this app is I have no guilt about my kids playing it. It is an educational app that they love playing, but the real key is they are learning something. Oh and my daughter loves the cute character.
