Have you ever created a dish or dessert that looked totally different than how it tasted? This Banana Split Dessert is exactly that way. While the traditional treat is made with Ice Cream, Bananas, Strawberries, Pineapple and Chocolate topped with whip cream, nuts and cherry, this Banana Split Dessert has no ice cream but taste exactly, if not better, than the traditional treat you are familiar with.
You know me…I love easy desserts that look impressive! I'm all about keeping it simple for you!
The original recipe, that came from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, was made in a 13 x 9 pan, but I adapted it a bit and served it in these little parfait glasses that I found at Walmart. The original recipe also did not call for strawberries, but what's a Banana Split without strawberries.
Do you know the best way to purchase good strawberries?
First, turn the package over and make sure there are no bruised or damaged berries. Then give the package a good sniff, yep…smell the strawberries, if you can smell a good flavor then they are perfectly ripe for you to use.
Do you have strawberry tip? Share it with us!
You can find all the ingredients for these delicious Banana Split Dessert including the fresh strawberries and the parfait glasses at Walmart.

Small businesses face an average 5-percent premium hike under a Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Northwest rate request filed with the state Insurance Division.
More than 32,000 people are employed by businesses that would be affected by the hike. The state will receive public comments and ask Kaiser about its request at a Jan. 28 public hearing. Also, written comments will be accepted for 30 days on the state website.
Not all health plan premiums will jump 5 percent; some actually will drop, depending on age and other factors of people covered. Other premiums could increase nearly 9 percent. In its rate request, Kaiser blames projected increases in medical and prescription costs as well as new 2014 health care taxes.
If approved by the state, the rate hike goes into effect next April. Time and location of the public hearing will be posted on the state's website.

Fertile, lush green water meadows make up this unforgettable stretch of uniquely beautiful countryside − home to numerous species of plants and animals that have now become rare. In the 13th century, the Cistercian monks of St. Urban's monastery constructed an ingenious network of ditches here, laying the foundations for the extensive irrigation system in the Langeten valley. The ancient watering times and rights are still respected today, and the water meadows are flooded three times a year over an area of some 110 hectares. The water meadows of the Rottal valley are especially idyllic.

New sympathy for those struggling
Sal Dimiceli

Dear W.C.,
I often wondered how people could become homeless or dependent on social services. Now I know firsthand how easily it can happen.
The apartment I was living in caught fire. I lost all my belongings and did not have renters insurance.
Then I came down with pneumonia, I think it was brought on by the smoke from the fire as I was home but not injured other than smoke inhalation.

I was in the hospital for almost a week and my health insurance only has minimal coverage.
Then to top it all off my car broke down. It was a chain of events that brought me to my knees and gave me new sympathy for people struggling to survive. I have a young son that stayed with friends during my hospitalization. They offered for me to stay at their apartment too but it is a small two bedroom and they have two children of their own. I could not afford a motel.
I work as a waitress so being unable to work means no tips or income. If God wanted me to find sympathy for those in need he certainly has given me a lesson in humility. I can now attest to the fact how events out of your control can change your life in an instant.
Humbly asking for help
Dear readers,
Many of the fellow Americans that come to The
Time Is Now
to Help for assistance never dreamed they would be put in the position of asking for help. It is a very humbling experience for them. To have been able to proudly provide for your family and within a short time lose everything, can be devastating.
Whether it be due to job loss, illness, natural disaster, loss of a loved one or many other things, can all contribute to the need for our emergency assistance.
This mother was very distressed to even ask us for help. She kept apologizing over and over to me when I contacted her. I reassured her each time that this is what The
Time Is Now
to Help does.
We investigate for genuine need, advise and help to remove the pains of poverty. I would be joyous if there was not a need for our organization, but over the last 24 years we continue to help our fellow creations in desperate need.
I confirmed the fire and the total loss of all belongings. I found out the mother was living in her car. I met her in the commercial parking lot she was currently staying in. She had been sleeping in her car at the apartment complex until management found out and asked her to leave.
Every night she would get inside, lock the doors and cry herself to sleep. She was very unhappy to be separated from her son but knew he was safer living with her friends.
She was trying to return to work so she could save enough for a new apartment. She still had utility bills overdue, medical bills, and she paid for only a partial car repair with the only money she had left in her checking account.
I set her up in a local motel we often use for emergency housing. I gave her gift cards for food and toiletries. The mother said she was ashamed as she had not been able to shower and did not have any clean clothing as all was lost in the fire. I sent the woman to Chris Ann's Resale shop to get all the clothing, shoes, coats, and any other items she needed for herself and her son.
The woman cried as she told me how she had been unsympathetic to homeless people in the past, thinking they were lazy or uneducated. She said she worked hard to care for herself and her son, without any help.
She thought everyone should be capable of the hard work she was able to do, not ever taking into account physical or mental disabilities, age, illness or disaster. Now she had a complete change of heart. She was determined to help those that were less fortunate when she was back on her own feet.
The woman said, "I only thought about myself and my son before. I can't believe how quickly these things happened to us to change our whole world." And that is often how it happens to those that turn to us for our caring and sharing assistance.
We provided housing at the motel for two weeks until she found an affordable apartment for her and her son. We helped with first month's rent and security deposit. We paid her outstanding utility bill to enable her to open a new utility account. Her car was properly repaired to provide reliable service.
When the mother and son moved into their new apartment we surprised them with donated furniture and household necessities from Chris Ann's. It was a whole fresh start for them and they both cried tears of joy. The mother never told her son about the new apartment until we walked in the door. The mother never could accept what we do for God's creations.
When we opened the door and she heard the words, "This is your new home." She looked around, eyes wide as they filled with tears. She knelt down and hugged her son, telling him, "This is our new home."
The boy heard her words and excitedly asked, "Mom, this is our home? Can we live together again?" The mother, through her flowing tears said, "Yes, this is our home." The boy started to cry, hugging his mother back saying, "I missed you mom." Children of all ages are affected by the stress of poverty and loss.
My dear friends thanks to all of "you" we remove the fears and pains of poverty, putting lives back together. Thanks to all of you on Easter Sunday we helped nine people. I especially love helping on holidays. When those that are forgotten least expect any help. I was a little late for Easter dinner but all my loved ones, including all of you, understand. Because when you are doing God's work The
Time Is Now
Our help is desperately needed for those suffering in the pains of poverty. I thank all of "you" for caring and sharing. Together we will continue our good works of compassion for our fellow creations. While some say the economy is improving there is still a long recovery for our fellow Americans. Together we will continue to remove the pains and suffering of poverty as we did for this mother and young boy.
Health and happiness,
God bless everyone,

Maybe some kind of egg scramble... You can mix up the eggs, onion, peppers, cheese, veggies, meat, whatever, all together in a tupperware, then just take a pan and scramble there. Bacon's easy to cook on the grill too.
Coconut pancakes (from the book) might work, too if you really want a substitute kinda thing.

Jerome Reilly: State ignored homes' pleas for help
Nun looked for help for underpaid staff left to look after too many children
Published 15/06/2014 | 02:30
THE State's wilful abandonment of children in care – relying on nuns to look after the most vulnerable while ignoring pleas for money to properly run residential homes – is laid bare in private unpublished documents seen by the Sunday Independent.
And they paint a vivid picture of underpaid staff battling to provide care for too many children.
The devastating critique and denunciation of the State's abject failure to protect children in care dates back to September 1976 and was compiled by a Presentation nun, Sr Gertrude Connolly, on behalf of the Religious Managers of Children's Homes.
She reveals the dismay, disenchantment and demoralisation of religious and lay workers as they were forced to look after children on a grant of just £18 per week, per child.
This was at a time when an accountant's investigation showed that £35 per week, per child, was the minimum sum needed to provide adequate care.
The date of the document is significant. It was written a full five years after the landmark Kennedy Report on reformatory and industrial schools which was supposed to usher in a new deal for children in care.
District Court Judge Eileen Kennedy made recommendations that politicians of the day pledged to implement.
In reality, Kennedy's report was effectively ignored or else implemented without adequate resources.
In the context of the controversy over mother and baby homes, the documents show that the State and Irish society at large was equally culpable in the scandalous treatment of mothers, babies and children.
At the time the administration in power was the so-called "National Coalition" led by Fine Gael Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave, with Labour leader Brendan Corish as Tanaiste.
Successive governments turned a blind eye to calls for help from religious sisters who were working for free.
When their role was taken over by lay care workers the Government refused to give the new staff a proper salary scale or security of tenure.
Sr Gertrude Connolly, who was also Chair of the Pastoral Commission, wrote to Bishop John McCormack of Meath asking him to urgently alert the hierarchy of the crisis in care homes.
"Residential child care centres are so seriously under-financed that their future is in jeopardy. The child care personnel in these centres, an increasing number of whom are lay, have neither salary nor security and the religious managers must pay them as best they can from the totally inadequate capitation grant," she writes.
She railed against the "persistent refusal" of the State to concede the principle of a salary scale for care workers, and to provide the resources needed.
She provided the hierarchy with a point by point demolition of the State's abandonment of 1,500 children in care at that time in 30 residential homes.
But Sr Connolly said that at the time of writing (1976) more and more lay people were being employed to make up for the absence of nuns and to provide both male and female figures which modern child care practice demanded.
"The salaries of these workers must be met from the capitation grant designed for a totally different situation. In consequence, salary levels are extremely low, workers have neither security nor prospects and homes are understaffed," she warned.
Sr Connolly wrote that religious managers of children's homes found themselves in the intolerable situation of appearing to treat lay people unjustly, that many workers were demoralised and that she feared a flood of trained professionals would simply leave.
She pointed out that while the capitation grant per child was raised to £18 in August 1976, this merely took account of declining money values and that a specially commissioned audit said the real figure to provide proper care was £35 a week per child.
"Given the nature of their work, no form of industrial action can be contemplated by them; nor can they run the risk of damage to the sensitivities of the children which publicity might entail," she said.
She added that many religious orders wanted to withdraw from running children's homes because to continue would be to co-operate in an unjust situation.

Growing Heirloom Lemon Cucumbers
This is my first year growing lemon cucumbers and boy are they delicious. They are very crisp and sweet. They are small and round, about 3 1/2 inches long, and well worth the effort to grow. They turn a lemon-lime color with yellow stripes when mature. They are great in summer salads and because of their thin skins they make great pickles.
They are native to India and have been growing for three thousand years. In 1494 Christoher Columbus introduced them them to Haiti and then soon after they were introduced to North America.
Cucumbers are a warm weather vegetable so sow after the last frost, directly into the garden. Thin to 12 inches in a row or plant three plants per mound every 36 inches. To save space, you can train cucumbers to grow up a trellis or a fence.
Lemon cucumbers will mature in 65 days.
I have lots of photos. You can view them at Mss Lady Bug's Garden.

It's called Unity Day, and it's set aside by Lycoming College students to celebrate the differences among students, clubs, and employees that make up the school, but beyond that, those that exist in all of society.
Some 50 students and faculty members met along the edge of the campus on Market Street at mid-afternoon Friday, formed a small parade and marched to the school quad.
Dr. Betty McClain, professor of Sociology, reminded those gathered that tolerance is not enough.

MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Lycoming College students, led by senior Sifa Blackmon, president of the Black Student Union, left, and junior Greg Vartan, president of the Student Union, leave the Sykes Gate on the west end of campus as they march around the campus on the 3rd Annual Unity Day March Friday.
"We need to celebrate our differences, not accept hatred," she said.
Taylor Kendra, a junior majoring in archaeology, creative writing and primary education, told everyone, "With unity we can rock this messy world. Remember why we are here again."
It marked the third year for Unity Day, which began following an incident on campus in 2010 when a racial message was placed under the door of an African-American Lycoming College student, according to Vice President for Student Life Dan Miller.
"It's a grassroots effort," he said of Unity Day.
It's a way, he added, to celebrate the uniqueness of everyone at the college.
Among the different organizations represented at the event were the college's Black Student Union, Multi-Cultural Awareness Group and the Gender and Sexual Awareness Group.
McClain said while many may not later remember the particular crisp, cold November day when they attended Friday's event, they hopefully will recall the unity of Lycoming College.
College days, after all, consist of "pushing and pulling of academics against the heave and pull of student activities."
"We will all be changed for the most part for the better," she said.
The college, she said, is not comprised merely of teams, clubs, departments and individuals.
"We are all those and more. Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts," she said.
Kendra said too often she turns on the news and becomes "nauseous."
"We let prejudice happen," she added.

The SEC announced today that it has filed a "pay-to-play" case against Goldman, Sachs & Co. and one of its former investment bankers. The SEC alleges that Goldman and Neil M.M. Morrison, a former vice president in the firm's Boston office, made undisclosed campaign contributions to then-Massachusetts state treasurer Timothy P. Cahill while he was a candidate for governor.
The SEC noted in its press release that the case "marks the first SEC enforcement action for pay-to-play violations involving 'in-kind' non-cash contributions to a political campaign." Instead of cash, Morrison is alleged to have conducted campaign activities for Cahill from the Goldman Sachs office during work hours. He allegedly used the firm's resources to carry out campaign activities including fundraising, drafting speeches, communicating with reporters, approving personnel decisions, and interviewing at least one possible running mate.The SEC claims that
Morrison's use of Goldman Sachs work time and resources for campaign activities constituted valuable in-kind campaign contributions to Cahill that were attributable to Goldman Sachs and disqualified the firm from engaging in municipal underwriting business with certain Massachusetts municipal issuers for two years after the contributions. Nevertheless, Goldman Sachs subsequently participated in 30 prohibited underwritings with Massachusetts issuers and earned more than $7.5 million in underwriting fees.
The SEC alleges that Morrison also made an indirect cash contribution to Cahill by giving cash to a friend who then wrote a check to the Cahill campaign.
Goldman has agreed to settle the SEC's case by paying $7,558,942 in disgorgement, $670,033 in prejudgment interest, and a $3.75 million penalty. The penalty is the largest ever imposed by the SEC for Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) pay-to-play violations. The SEC's case against Morrison is ongoing.

A Hostile Environment for Student Defendants: Title IX and Sexual Assault on College Campuses
Stephen Henrick
April 18, 2013
Northern Kentucky Law Review, 2013
Under Title IX, colleges and universities must resolve claims of rape and sexual assault between students. My article examines Title IX's administrative and civil enforcement mechanisms to determine what incentives the statute creates for educators dealing with these issues. Unfortunately, I conclude that innocent accused students are unduly prone to false convictions in campus sexual assault adjudications. The only way to fix the problem is to leave claims of sexual violence to the civil and criminal justice systems.

Ingredient Showcase: Evening Primrose, the Natural Anti-Inflammatory That Soothes and Softens Skin
This vivid and bright North American wildflower blooms in late spring, and often covers wide areas of grasslands and prairie, though you may also see it in rougher areas like road cuts and rocky hillsides.
Evening primrose has been used to soothe rheumatoid arthritis, PMS, menopausal symptoms, and diabetes. The plant also has a long reputation as a miracle worker in skin care, because it is a powerful anti-inflammatory. For hundreds of years populations have used it as a remedy for eczema.
Today, we know that in addition to taming inflammation, evening primrose soothes dryness, redness, and itchiness, and nourishes skin with important fatty acids that help soothe, soften, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This bright little plant may help soothe your itchy, dry skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
A Little Bit About the Ingredient Itself
Scientifically called Oenothera, evening primrose is also known by the names "sundrops" and "suncups," most likely because of the bright and sunny appearance of the little flowers. A perennial species, it blooms between May and June, but the individual flowers last only about a day—typically opening within less than a minute of evening, which is where the plant got its name.
Flowers are commonly yellow, but may also be white, purple, pink, or red, with four petals that form an X-shape in between. The leaves are narrow and lance-shaped, and up to six inches long with many short hairs on the surface, while the plant as a hole grows in a low, sprawling manner.
Health Benefits
Evening primrose is edible—the roots work as a vegetable and the shoots can be eaten in salads. The plant has been used to help improve many conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, diabetes nerve damage, irritable bowel syndrome, and during pregnancy to prevent pre-eclampsia and late deliveries. It's also reputed to help ease the symptoms of PMS, endometriosis, and menopause.
According to the National Institutes of Health, current research shows evening primrose may be effective for easy breast pain, and when combined with calcium and fish oil, for helping to improve osteoporosis. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine adds that studies have found evening primrose oil may benefit eczema, rheumatoid arthritis and breast pain.
Benefits to the Skin
Evening primrose is a good source of linoleic acid, which is one of the essential fatty acids we need for healthy looking skin. It's absolutely critical to the maintenance of a healthy skin barrier—the outside layer that protects the rest of the skin. When this outside layer becomes dry, cracked, and damaged, that's when we suffer from itchiness, dryness, scaling, wrinkles, and fine lines.
Did you know that if you have acne or dermatitis, you may have reduced levels of linoleic acid in your skin? Without that critical nutrient, the sebaceous glands produce sebum with oleic acid, which is irritating to the skin—promoting blockages that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. In fact, studies have shown that linoleic acid can help reduce acne breakouts and redness.
Evening primrose is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, helping to calm the skin and reduce inflammation, taming redness, rosacea, and rashes. This property, together with the linoleic acid, helps restore the skin's protective moisture barrier, helping you to enjoy soft, smooth, and more youthful-looking skin.
Try It!
I added evening primrose extract to both of these products, where it helps restore the skin's outer layer, increases hydration, and reduces acne and eczema outbreaks.
How do you use evening primrose? Have you had success with these products? Please share your story.

For a session 'Academia as an arena of elite formation and democratisation', I am looking for papers (20 min each) that might address some aspects of the following themes:
Ever since the late 18th century, the University has had a dual mission. On the one hand, the University has been intimately linked to the emergence and functioning of the nation-state, offering various ways to unify knowledge and power. On the other hand, the University has also been a locus for critical intelligentsia and socio-political resistance, aiming at democratisation and/or revolution of the society as a whole. As examples we could take academic counter-movements as different as the anti-imperialist Pan-Africans of the late-19th century Liberia, the global Student Revolt of 1968, and the development of Women's Studies in the early 1980's as a challenge to the collegial fraternity of white middle-class males.
At the moment, we are faced with a paradox that more people are allowed access to higher education than ever before, but the most valuable rewards of higher education are more concentrated as in the past. The session is thus open for a debate: How the University has acted as an agent of democratisation, or have claims for "democratisation" mainly been presented to legitimate a massive subsidy to the middle and upper-middle classes? To analyse the present situation, a deeper understanding of its historical backgrounds and a comparison of different experiences in various parts of the world is essential.
How to propose a paper
If you want to propose a paper, please send your abstract (ca. 200-300 words) to the session organiser, Dr. Marja Jalava (firstname.lastname@example.com), no later than 23 March 2007. Allow me some time to respond; if I have not replied in a couple of days or a week, please mail again: in a world of spam it is always possible that messages from previously unknown addresses are accidentally deleted. I also ask you to use the word ESSHC in the message heading.
The ESSHC
The European Social Science History Conferences are bi-annual gatherings of historians and social scientists of different fields. The latest conferences in Berlin 2004 and in Amsterdam 2006 were both attended by approximately 1300 scholars. The responsible organiser of
the conference is the International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam).
The seventh ESSHC will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, 27 February–1 March 2008. The conference consists of 28 more specialized, thematic networks, which arrange their own session programme. In a typical session of 120 minutes there are normally four paper presentations, one discussant and one chair. The conference fee is 200 € (if paid in advance, autumn 2007). Please visit the conference website http://www.iisg.nl/esshc for more information.
The Elites network
The Elites network of the ESSHC hosts sessions concerning the history of cultural, political, economic and social elites. At the 2006 conference the Elites network organised 16 sessions. Papers from all over Europe and from the USA were numerous. The network hopes that
this trend will continue also at the Lisbon conference, where the network aims at organising about the same number of sessions as before.
The Politics, Citizenship, and Nations network
In 2008, the networks of Politics and Nations will merge into the new network Politics, Citizenship and Nations, chaired by Ido de Haan (Utrecht University) and André Gerrits (University of Amsterdam). In 2008, the network invites papers and sessions on any issue related to the history of politics, citizenship and nations, yet with a special interest in sessions on the following topics: (1) The history of democracy and democratisation; (2) The history of states and citizenship; and (3) Local, national and cosmopolitan citizenship.
For further information of these networks and other proposed session themes, please visit the web pages http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/elites.php or http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/politics.php

When the BBC premiered its 2010 three-part series *Sherlock*, it re-envisioned a character who had been adapted and re-adapted in multiple reincarnations for over a century. In this collection, we emphasize Sherlock Holmes as an evolving cross media/transmedia and international figure and the myriad cultural intersections and robust and diverse fan traditions that have converged in *Sherlock* and its fandom. The collection will bring together essays that consider the literary and reception histories informing *Sherlock*, the industrial and cultural contexts of *Sherlock*'s release, the text of *Sherlock* itself as adaptation and transformative work, and *Sherlock*'s critical and popular reception
In this collection, we endeavor to establish *Sherlock* at the intersection of various intertexts: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's literary works; the myriad Holmes adaptations and their fan communities; *Doctor Who* and Steven Moffat's influence; and transmedia reception and media fan responses. Within the context of antecedents and intertextuality, reception and fandom, suggested topics include but are not limited to:
• Author, Creator, and Auteur
• Characterization and Interpretation
• Genre and Tropes
• Adaptation and Transformation
• Identity and Representation
• Space, Place, and National Identity
• Contexts of Production and Circulation
• Transmedia Fandom

Species of Sorbus are commonly known as whitebeam, rowan, service tree, and mountain ash. All these cuttings are from the Brian Mulligan Sorbus Collection, located to the east of Arboretum Drive across from the Magnolia Collection.
1) Sorbus aucuparia (European Rowan)
- Sorbus aucuparia is native to most of Europe except for the far south, and northern Asia.
- It is listed as a 'Weed of Concern' by the King County Noxious Weed Board because of its propensity to spread seeds far and wide via birds.
- This specimen was collected from the last remaining Sorbus aucuparia, which fell over during the past weekend.
2) Sorbus commixta (Japanese Rowan)
- Sorbus commixta is a species of rowan native to Japan, the far east of Russia on Sakhalin, and in Korea on the island of Ulleungdo.
- Performs very well in the Pacific Northwest, producing large crops of berries.
- While unappetizing to humans, birds (especially robins) can denude a tree of berries in a day.
3) Sorbus prattii
- Sorbus prattii is a Chinese rowan bearing small corymbs of white flowers in late spring followed by green berries that ripen to white.
4) Sorbus tamamschjanae
- A little known red-berried, simple-leafed Rowan from Armenia.
5) Sorbus vestita (Himalayan Whitebeam)
- Broad and conical tree with sharply toothed leaves, that has corymbs of white flowers that bloom in late spring followed by yellowish-green berries with brown freckles.

1991 Muhammad Ali Endorsed Check Relating to 1991 A. W. Sports Boxing-Card Set
Starting Bid - $300.00 , Sold For - $411.25
This company check from A. W. Sports, Inc., dated June 10, 1991, is made out to "Muhammad Ali" in the amount of $10,000 and has been endorsed by Ali on the reverse. Ali's signature has been flawlessly signed in blue ink and grades "10." In 1991 A. W. Sports produced a high-quality series of trading cards featuring boxers, one of the few classic boxing sets ever issued, which naturally included Ali on several cards in the set. This check represents payment to Ali for the use of his image on the cards. Any Ali signed check is rare and desirable, but a check relating to one of the few boxing sets ever issued, in payment for permission to be included in the set, has a special appeal, and great potential for framing and display with cards from the set. The check (8.25 x 3 inches) displays three vertical folds, as well as bank cancellation stamps on the reverse. Excellent condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $411.25

The conference seeks to engage with historical processes through the analytical lens of the self. It will examine the presuppositions about human behavior and the ideals of "personality" and humanity on the part of state and cultural authorities from the late Imperial period to the breakup of the Soviet Union; it will follow how these notions were set into motion over the course of a long century of war and revolution; and it will study their effects on the lives, personal horizons, and self-understandings of individuals.
Suggested themes include, but are not limited to:
* The intelligentsia, the church, and the intellectual history of the "personality" (lichnost'), from the late 19th through the 20th centuries. Notions of lichnost' and humanity in the human and social sciences
* Wars and revolutions as catalysts of individual self-definition. Relationships between political violence, repression, and self-definition
* Russian/Soviet formulations of self in dialogue and conflict with foreign models (e.g. Soviet vs. fascist conceptions during the 1930s and 1940s; Soviet vs. capitalist models during the Cold War)
* Trajectories of the "new man," the "Soviet person" (sovetskii chelovek), "russkii chelovek," and the "dissident"
* Gender and sexuality. Evolving representations of the human body from the late 19th to the late 20th centuries
* Subjectivity and the erosion of political legitimacy (from the late Imperial to the late Soviet period)
* Everyday life, byt, consumption. Popular cultures and alternative forms of identity
* Writers, filmmakers, and journalists as human engineers, from Symbolism to post-Soviet times
* An institutional history of biography: From "The Life of Remarkable People" ("Zhizn' zamechatel'nykh liudei"), the "History of the Factories," and "A Day in the World" (Den' mira), to internet diary blogs
* Documenting and classifying selfhood in the archives and in the realm of istochnikovedenie. The role of oral history.
We invite paper proposals, based on original archival or ethnographic research, from specialists in different disciplines and across disciplines—history, literary studies, cultural anthropology and sociology, history of science and religion, film and media studies, art history—working on questions of identity and subjectivity.
Organizational Information
The conference, jointly organized by the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the European University of St. Petersburg, and Rutgers University, will take place at the European University in St. Petersburg from June 7-10, 2010. The sponsoring institutions will try to cover the costs for travel and accommodation of all participants.
Abstracts in Russian or English (maximum length: 500 words) of the paper you intend to give should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com Your abstract should include your email address and institutional affiliation, the title of your intended paper, and the abstract text. Deadline for submission of abstracts: June 1, 2009.
Notification of applicants: no later than September 2009.
Chosen participants will then be asked to submit article-length (at a maximum of 10,000 words) original papers in Russian or English by March 1, 2010. The papers will be pre-circulated among all participants so that there is ample time to read them before the conference.
The papers will be grouped in thematic panels. Paper presentations at the conference will be limited to 10 minutes. At each panel one conference participant will moderate and comment briefly on the papers, before opening the discussion. The working language of the conference is Russian.
After the conference authors will rework their papers for publication in a volume to appear in 2011.

Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Madison Square Garden
Records: Pistons 4-18 (fifth in Central); Knicks 7-13 (third in Atlantic).
Pistons probable starters: Tayshaun Prince, 6-9, 215 (Kentucky); Ben Wallace, 6-9, 240 (Virginia Union); Greg Monroe, 6-11, 250 (Georgetown); Rodney Stuckey, 6-5, 205 (Eastern Washington); Brandon Knight, 6-3, 189 (Kentucky).
Knicks probable starters: Amar'e Stoudemire, 6-11, 260 (Orlando Cypress Creek H.S., Fla.); Bill Walker, 6-6, 235 (Kansas State); Tyson Chandler, 7-1, 240 (Compton Dominguez H.S., Calif.); Tyoney Douglas, 6-2, 185 (Florida State); Landry Fields, 6-7, 215 (Stanford).
Last game: The Pistons fell behind by 18 points in the first quarter and never led in a 103-82 loss Monday at Milwaukee. The Knicks lost 97-84 Saturday at Houston, their third consecutive loss.
Fast facts: Both Carmelo Anthony (multiple injuries) are Baron Davis (back) are expected to return from the inactive list soon, but not in time for tonight's game, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said Monday. … The Pistons, once again, will be without Ben Gordon (shoulder) and Will Bynum (foot). … The Knicks have lost nine of their last 10 games, during which their only win was at Charlotte, which has the NBA's worst record. … The Knicks are also one of three teams Charlotte has defeated. … The Pistons have averaged 15.2 first-quarter points over their last five games. … The Pistons are in the second game of a three-game, three day stretch, concluding Wednesday at New Jersey. … The Knicks play their first back-to-back-to-back of the season Thursday through Saturday. … Backup guard Mike Bibby, who debuted as a Knick this season, gave the franchise the third father-and-son combination in franchise history, with his father Henry playing for the team from 1972-75 (Al and Allie McGuire, and Ernie and Kiki Vandeweghe, are the other father-and-son combos to play for the Knicks). … The Knicks are shooting 41.4 percent, 29th in the league. … The Knicks also rank 29th in 3-point defense, with opponents shooting 38.9 percent against them. … Stoudamire is shooting a career-low 42.8 percent and averaging 17.7 points per game, lowest since his rookie season. … The Knicks rank third with 9.5 steals per game. … The Knicks rank 30th with 17.1 turnovers per game, with the Pistons 26th at 16.41.
Frank-ly speaking: "Back home, they can get 24-hour focus on rehab, you have gym space, you have all your different toys that they need to get them right. It's just a much easier rehabilitation environment." – Lawrence Frank, on why the Pistons recently have chosen to leave injured players at home during road trips.

You can tell the *bad* veggies from the good because they wear little leather jackets and smoke.
Stay away from corn (not a veggie), white fleshed potatoes (if you are trying to lose weight), legumes (beans, peanuts, peas, etc - but peas that are meant to be eaten pod and all like snap peas are generally considered okay), and limit fruit (if you are trying to lose weight).
Most veggies are on the Okay list . . . particularly if they have already been eaten by some critter and turned into muscle tissue.

She's odds-on favourite to win Saturday's final of "Britain's Got Talent," she's become an overnight international star and now she's started out on the trail to tabloid sainthood by acquiring her own headline moniker "SuBo."

- "Supernatural" (8 p.m. on The CW): Dean (Jensen Ackles) reveals his past in a home for delinquent boys when it appears that the place is haunted.
- "New Girl" (8 p.m. on FOX): Cece (Hannah Simone) agrees to go out on a date with Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.), so Jess (Zooey Deschanel) tries to distract Schmidt (Max Greenfield).
- "The Goldbergs" (8 p.m. on ABC): The family gets a visit from Uncle Marvin (Dan Fogler) for Thanksgiving, adding agita to the menu.
- "The Voice" (8 p.m. on NBC): Two more singers are eliminated, and the Instant Save will still be in effect.
- "NCIS: Los Angeles" (8 p.m. on CBS): Kensi and Deeks (Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen) go undercover to investigate the death of a Navy officer.
- "Face Off" (8 p.m. on Syfy, cable channel 59): This special episode examines body painting, with commentary from past contestants and "Naked Vegas" cast members.
- "David Blaine: Real or Magic" (8:30 p.m. on ABC): Blaine entertains such celebrities as Woody Allen, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Olivia Wilde, Will Smith and more in this 90-minute special.
- "The Mindy Project" (8:30 p.m. on FOX): The clinic asks a mommy blogger for a plug without realizing that she's a white supremacist, so they hire a PR specialist (Jenna Elfman) to help repair their reputation.

- "Sons of Anarchy" (9 p.m. on FX, cable channel 43): Tara (Maggie Siff) continues to face the fallout from her ridonkulous decision to fake a miscarriage, and the gang makes a bold move to get out of the gunrunning business.
- "Frontline" (9 p.m. on PBS): Examine the life of Lee Harvey Oswald.
- "Chopped" (9 p.m. on Food Network, cable channel 65): The chefs face a flavored vodka with the entree basket and gelfilte fish in the appetizer.
So, what are you watching?

First of all I am ready to pull my hair out because it has been 4 or 5 weeks that ESPN Recruiting Nation Basketball has had the WRONG link for UK in the Top Classes section of the 2012 recruiting year. Trust me, these clowns know that when you click on Kentucky it takes you to the North Carolina State page and they are probably watching the web stats and laughing their ACC asses off every time someone clicks on that link. It's ridiculous but hey, it's ESPN.
Jarnell Stokes may be enrolling in, no not next May or June, but in January. Most who follow recruiting news know that Jarnell is eligible to enroll early. He gave the following quote to the:
Memphis Commercial Appeal
"I've set myself up to go to college midyear, I really don't know yet, but
that's definitely an option," said Stokes, who's considering the University of Memphis along with Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee.
This may not be good news for Kentucky fans as Stokes will likely, if he enrolls in college and doesn't jump to Europe, want to play where he can actually play. Kentucky's system will be all but established and we will be 8 deep with the addition of 6-5 guard Twany Beckham in January. Stoke's has good size at 6-8 but he will have to compete with Jones, Gilchrist and Wiltjer for playing time. So I cannot see Stokes joining the UK program in January. If I had
to guess I would bet that Stokes either goes to Arkansas or jumps on a plane to Europe for a year.

Article From: 8/14/2006 Production Machining
The company's composites/fiberglass routers and engraving tools are designed to increase production efficiency in manufacturing environments. The routers include a 0.25" carbide straight-flute router bit used in manufacturing. It's operated by a hand-held air tool and is suited for cutting both fiberglass and plywood. The average production per tool can be doubled after optimizing geometries, flute lengths/depths and rake/relief angles, says the company.
The second tool offered is the split-point engraver, which is suited for the awards industry and for engraving part-numbers on a variety of products.

The Philadelphia Phillies and veteran second baseman Chase Utley have reportedly agreed on a two-year contract extension.
UPDATE: Thursday, Aug. 8, at 3:45 p.m. ET by Kyle Vassalo
From MLB.com's Todd Zolecki:
Official: Utley has agreed to a 2-year extension with the Phillies through the 2015 season. The deal includes 3 vesting/club options.— Todd Zolecki (@ToddZolecki) August 8, 2013
From Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal:
Chase Utley's new two-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies is worth $27 million. But if the second baseman stays healthy, he can max out at five years, $75 million, according to major-league sources.
Utley, who turns 35 on Dec. 17, received three vesting options, each worth $15 million, on top of his two guaranteed years, sources said. Each of his options will vest at 500 plate appearances, a figure that Utley has not exceeded since 2009.
---End of Update---
From Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal:
Hearing same as @jsalisbury: Utley, #Phillies are close. Two-yr deal in high $20M range with multiple vesting options. About to post story.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) August 7, 2013
One of the faces of the franchise, Utley has played his entire career and the past 11 seasons with the Phillies, helping lead the franchise to its second World Series title in 2008. He was set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old infielder has appeared in 83 games for the Phillies in 2013 and is batting .275 with 15 home runs and 42 RBI. While those are certainly decent numbers, they don't compare to the huge production he put up between 2005 and 2009, when he was truly an offensive force in the Philly lineup.
Utley has had his fair share of ups and downs in the field this year, though, as he boasts a career-worst .968 fielding percentage with 13 errors on the year.
Who is the bigger winner from this deal?
Prior to news of extension discussions, there had been some buzz about a possible trade before this summer's trade deadline. The Phils have struggled thus far this season and, at 51-61, are nearly out of the National League playoff race.
The organization's first-round pick in 2000, it's been over a decade since Utley made his major league debut for Philadelphia in April 2003, not long after starring for the UCLA Bruins and Long Beach Poly High before that.
Since then, Utley has earned five All-Star nods (2006 to 2010), racked up four Silver Slugger Awards (2006 to 2009) and contributed to the Phillies' first championship (2008) since 1980.
With Utley locked in for a couple more years, the Pasadena, Calif. native has a shot to play out his career and retire as a "Phillie for life."

One sure way to get a good recipe is to ask a good cook. Thus I spoke to Joanna Mendrzycki, whose culinary fare Ive been fortunate enough to sample. What are some of your favorites, I queried, things that you fix often and the family loves?
As is her wont, Joanna immediately said shed contact her daughter Michele She is the really good cook in the family, Joanna always tells me. So I got a bonus: two recipes from two good cooks. Michele lives in Illinois, is the mother of two and says her kids absolutely devour the Roasted Veggie Platter, which is especially good in the summertime with all the fresh vegetables available. Its cooked in the oven, but for only 20 minutes and you can make plenty and have it again. Joannas contribution is one of her husband Joes favorites, Cauliflower Salad. She has been fixing this for years and although shes seen many versions of it, this is the one everybody always asks for. Joanna and Joe have been in Summerville for two dozen years, coming from Rockport, Illinois for his job. They were looking in other areas for housing when one morning in her hotel room she saw an advertisement for a Summerville neighborhood. She asked to be brought here and was told, Oh you dont want to go there, thats not a very up and coming town! But Joanna insisted. As they drove into our Flowertown in the middle of 1987s azalea season she looked around and said the same thing many of us have said before This is for me!
The retired couple has two daughters and three grandchildren none of whom live here. They both stay busy. Joe, a former marathoner, walks and plays golf, and Joanna is involved with church work when shes not whipping up some delectable concoctions, such as the ones below.
1 sweet red pepper, cut into 1 pieces
1 large tomato, cut into wedges
1 yellow squash, cut into ½ slices
½ pound fresh mushrooms
¼ pound fresh green beans, trimmed
½ cup Italian salad dressing
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
Place vegetables in a greased 15x10x1 baking pan. Mix salad dressing and herbs together. Drizzle vegetables with dressing and herbs. Bake, uncovered at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Good hot or cold.
Healthier Take: use a low fat, low sugar dressing.
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 lb bacon
1 medium jar mayonnaise
1 head cauliflower
1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
Parmesan cheese
Fry bacon and set aside to drain and cool. Break into bite size pieces. Break cauliflower, using flowerets only. Break up lettuce. Layer in large bowl: lettuce, onion, cauliflower and bacon (in this order). Spread mayonnaise over top. Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese (heavily). Let set in refrigerator overnight for better flavor absorption. Mix well before serving. (Its even better the second day!)
Short Cut Tip: try using two 2.8 oz jars of Real Bacon Pieces (I chose Hormel for a test.) This eliminates frying bacon and for a Healthier Take, it also eliminates half the fat. Substitute low fat mayonnaise for even fewer calories.

The metaphors were mixed but the message was clear: New Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman Jim Burn wants to tear down the image of Pat Toomey as a candidate for all Pennsylvanians.
In a conference call today, Burn emerged from a post-primary reorganization of the state party leadership to take aim at Toomey, the former Lehigh Valley congressman and former Wall Street derivatives trader.
Burn accused Toomey of channeling citizen anxiety about the economy onto the bailouts and stimulus packages enacted since late 2008. Toomey faces U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak in the Nov. 2 election -- a race the New York Time Magazine calls a showdown between ideologies in a new profile on Sestak.
"He's focused that angst on the band-aid, not the disease, but we're going to tell voters in Pennsylvania what's really going on. His actions (in Congress and as president of Club for Growth) created the shell game. It was a deception and he wants to say the cure is what's wrong. He created the sickness,'' Burn said.
The criticism comes as three separate videos have surfaced featuring Toomey during his stint in Congress, including this from C-Span from Nov. 1999, when he called for the relaxation of regulation against credit default swaps, and this video from Dec. 2000 post by Philly.com, when he urged the House to de-regulate the financial industry.
Toomey's campaign spokesperson said the focus on Toomey's championing of de-regulation are signs of desperation."With every independent poll showing Toomey with a big lead, and with Sestak's Washington allies spending a million dollars in two weeks running attack ads that numerous independent analysts are calling "false," it's pretty clear that the Sestak campaign has reached a new level of desperation,'' said Nachama Soloveichik.
"Take away all the smoke and mirrors from the Sestak campaign, and you are left with this indisputable fact: Joe Sestak supported, and Pat Toomey opposed the biggest gift Washington politicians have ever given Wall Street, and that is the $700 billion bailout paid for by Pennsylvania taxpayers."
