I don't think shutting doors and windows will do much in terms of protection.

There are certainly many adjustments when newly-wedded, but while focusing on the outward changes, we can't forget the changes that should occur in our thought process. Though this isn't my first rodeo, I did forget. My mind has still been living 'single'.
Five years doesn't seem that long to have been single, but when I add up all the other years I was single before, it seems that my independent survival mode has always been ready to kick in at a moment's notice. I have been blessed to have family and dear friends in my life while I raised my boys as a single mother, but there is a prideful part of me that needed to do things on my own and sometimes I struggled silently.
That's what moving to New York was about after a few years of being single. I had to make it there. I was away from home and truly on my own, paying my way with no help from family and, it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was where I gained confidence and I learned that I was in control of my life and I had a say-so in what was good or not good for me.
I love adventure and taking chances, but thankfully I am wise enough to pretty much stay out of trouble. I have never been an adrenaline junkie where I must find an outrageous adventure to be a part of lest I am bored, but I still like adventure. And I like to find adventure in even the small everyday things. Life itself is an adventure each and every day.
When I take the Greys for a walk and we go further than usual, I observe their nervous sniffing and their wonder of what is around the corner. Will we meet up with a stray dog off its leash? Will a coyote come out from the wooded area? Will we see a snake or a skunk on the trail? Our adventures are pretty tame, but I think the Greys and I both get a small rush from the 'what if'.
Whatever life brings my way, I am a lover of life and I face it head on. I am not afraid of much (except worms). And when the unexpected happens, I am ready with my independent survival mode kicking in full force.
What I fail to realize now that I am married, is that I don't have to always call on that independence and do things by myself. I have a helpmate.
I had been experiencing a starting problem with my Jeep Liberty for about a month and it has been frustrating to figure out just what was going on when it would start sometimes and then all of a sudden not start. I won't bore you with the details of narrowing down an answer over the last few weeks, but we went through a few times of towing it in, having it in the shop and my plans having to be rearranged at a moment's notice.
When we didn't have an immediate answer of what the problem could be, I felt that I needed to do something. I didn't know Jason's mechanic – what if he was missing something? I didn't know if it cost us to get my Jeep towed, but it concerned me as if I had to take care of it all and make it the least costly and stress-free for Jason as possible.
Why? Why did I feel a need to do this? After being a single mom for years and then caring for Mama last year, I was used to taking care of others (and myself) and it would stress me out if something was an unexpected expense that I wasn't prepared to handle.
But I am married now and I realized that I had been stressing lately out for no reason. Sure, I want to take care of my husband and I don't want to cause him undue stress, but the things that stress me out may not affect him in the same way they do me. Just as the things I am good at taking care of makes my husband feel more at ease.
If my husband's mechanic didn't know the problem right away because my Jeep would miraculously start again and I had to take a chance with my Jeep not starting later – so what? I am married. What is my problem is also my husband's problem and vice-versa. If my Jeep didn't start and I had to be somewhere, my husband would make sure I got where I needed to be. The grocery store? He could pick up what we needed until we got me up and running again. Doctor's appointment? He could drive me or let me take his truck. It wasn't as big of a deal as I was allowing it to be.
When we first got married, I knew I was going to have to spend money in order to make this house a home and to do the things wives do. We were in need of bath towels so I did my best to save money and I bought cheap towels (that were a joke). Since then, I have stopped being so afraid to spend for things we need, but marriage is still new to me and we haven't really sat down and gone over our finances to where I feel a part of it and know the boundaries. It is important to do that so a couple can know what we are working with and make good decisions together. We will make the time to do that soon.
I am trying to be 'marriage-minded' and not feel as if I have to take care of everything myself. I try to be 'at rest'. This is not to say that while my husband goes to work, I sit at home watching soap operas and eating bon-bons. I have my career too and I also put a lot of effort into our home and, that is just as big a part of contributing to our household.
My situation may not be for everyone, I know some women my age who cannot stand to be domestic and they refuse to cook, but I love it. I love doing laundry, organizing, cooking and making things nice. I am an interior designer, a chef, a housekeeper, a therapist, a secretary… I could go on and on with certain roles I fall into but to me, it is 'just what I do'. It isn't a job. It isn't a 'have to'… for me, it is a want to. I enjoy it and it is actually therapeutic to me.
I loathe soap operas and my metabolism won't let me eat bon-bons all day so I like to stay busy. I am a do-er. I like to stay active and accomplish things, but I could never be 'just be a housewife' so I have my writing job and my projects for my personal fulfillment, but what is wonderful about being married is – I don't have to do 'everything' by myself.
There are things I need to take care of and there are things my husband will take care of. We are in this together, so if one thing goes wrong – it goes wrong for us both and it will be taken care of together.
Jason won't let me sit at home without a vehicle or take away privileges or yell at me that it is my fault… that is what happens in a toxic marriage like I left years ago. Even though I left that marriage, the scars are there and it is a refreshing challenge to apply all that God has taught me over the years and to live peacefully in the freedom of a God-given marriage with a man who truly loves me and cares for me.
Life isn't always easy. There will be obstacles and hardships, but when two are one it is a blessing to get through them together.
When people refer to the creation story of Adam and Eve, I have heard Eve take all the blame for way too long and it is about time we think this story through. Yes, she ate of the forbidden fruit, but so did Adam. Men argue, "But Eve gave him the fruit." This is where sons of Adam fail to recognize 'their inherited fall' along with Eve's daughters' inherited fall.
No matter what type of man or what type of woman you are or if you have a non-traditional role – the way our bodies were created as male and female is different from each other and is purposeful. Both created in the image of God, man represents strength and gives protection while woman represents beauty and is nurturing.
That was God's beautiful design, but at the time of the fall something happened. The enemy came to Eve and told her not to trust God and Eve listened to the serpent. She took matters into her own hands. She didn't trust God to share with her all she needed to know and she ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge. But Eve wasn't alone. Adam was right there next to her. He wasn't off somewhere on another path. Read it.
When the enemy came to Eve, why didn't Adam protect her? Why didn't he rebuke the serpent and rescue Eve? Eve failed to trust what was provided for her and Adam failed to 'man up' and take a stand. This scenario actually happens today with so many men and women – it is nothing new and that is why 'Mars and Venus' collide. Sons of Adam still fail and daughters of Eve still fail. We fight the sin-nature we inherited even though we strive to do what it is we were created to do, but …we do not live in Eden and we will periodically fail.
Women strive to take matters into their own hands when they feel left out and they try to fix things while men passively watch and then they blame Eve. We have to challenge ourselves to be the man of strength, the protector and provider and to be the woman who brings beauty and rest in the world and who nurtures - the woman who trusts that things will be okay – because a stand-up man gives her a reason to trust. We have a better chance at harmony and in following God's design if we both are mindful of who we were created to be and what God expects from us.
My Jeep had a blown fuse that 'could be caused by' the fuel pump starting to go out - but it wasn't certain. So instead of the Eve in me thinking my Jeep should be fixed immediately and we should go ahead and get a new fuel pump to head off more starting problems, chances are… it may not be the fuel pump (and it could be that my 11-year-old Jeep may be on its way to the Jeep graveyard). Whatever happens, I can trust that my husband and I are in this together.
I have a good man who will not neglect me or abandon me. If my Jeep blows another fuse – it's okay. If I need a new fuel pump – it's okay. If my Jeep gives up its life – it's okay! It isn't for me to fix by myself, to control or stress over. I am no longer single and on my own. I have a help mate who loves me and is in my corner.
For readers who have followed my stories since my time in New York, you may recall my quest for finding 'Superman'. Not just any man would do – he had to be a hero. He had to be a man who would protect me and care for me.
Superman may be able to stop a speeding bullet, but the man who calms his wife's fears is the true hero. The man who steps in and stands with her (not over her) is her champion. When a man loves his wife as he loves himself and truly cares about her – there is no need for her to try and take control. When she feels safe and protected, it is then that she can bring beauty and rest to his life… and to stop being single-minded.

Vita is Region-FreePosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by almostautumn
I'm a big fan of imports as well, as my tastes tend to be more orthodox japanese. I started importing back on the PSX (but not much; Dragon Ball Z: Final Bout and Panzer Bandit) and more recently I've enjoyed the Wii and PSP thickly (Wrote two Import Impressions for Captain Rainbow and Earth Seeker here on 1Up as well). I also have three import games coming in for the Vita currently.
Also, not sure which one Piece you bought, but the one that is really close to coming out (and looks to be the absolute best of the series!) is also coming out in Europe. If you don't have a pretty decent understanding of Japanese than I'd recommend the Eu version as those games can have some thick complexity, as well as directions being spoken rather than Map-point.
ImportPosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by Cary Woodham
I've imported a few handheld titles on region free systems like the PS, DS, and GBA, but that's about it. I wish the 3DS was region free.
I thought the Vita was region locked.Posted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by jgusw
Maybe it is just the 3DS. I thought the PS3 was region locked too. I need to get on this info.
I hadn't played an imported game in many years. The last game I imported from Japan was on the Sega Dreamcast.
not soo my friendPosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by darkslayervergil27
i've been playing imports for a little bit so just give it a try ok
I do, all the timePosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by ForteII
I've bought imports for most of my systems. In the case of the PS2, I've even got both American and Japanese versions of the console. That said, no imports for the PS3 just yet but the latest version of Ni no Kuni could end up being the first one. Gotta see what comes with the American version first.
my imports i'll be posting pick of my current imports asapPosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by darkslayervergil27
i only have three japanese games at the moment but i will post pics of them soon if any one is interested
OkayPosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by darkslayervergil27
So I've been to few japanese game shops I've quite afew games that didn't come to America or I just never seen or heard of them but the majority of them are for ps2 I would like to play a couple of them like sengoku basara cross
not as much as I use toPosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by nsonic79
the only time was on the saturn with macross, samsho and the vs series. aside from import digital buys off PSN, never got back into it with this current console generation. been thinking about getting back into imports with my modded n64 and snes. pkus I saw maxross m2 for dreamcast at a store awhile back
A new additionPosted: Sep 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by darkslayervergil27
To my collection is sengoku basara 3 utage. Has any ever even heard of this game before I know theres a us version out but theres a handful of characters you can play with in the Japanese version

Extended Closing Requires Liquor Control Notification
Published: 12/06/2011
It is important that any holder of a liquor permit notifies the Division of Liquor Control when the permit business will be temporarily closed.
The Liquor Control Act mandates that if a permit holder will be closing the permit business "for a period in excess of 30 days," then the Division of Liquor Control must be notified. Thus, if an issued permit is not being utilized, the permit holder must inform the Division of Liquor Control.

Transfer deadline day always comes with promise of excitement and action, and this year it didn't disappoint. Late signings from Liverpool kicked off what turned out to be a hectic day.
Relive all the action below:
A list of all this summer's Premier League transfer deals can be found HERE, plus for click here for Arsenal specific news, here for the latest on Liverpool and here for Manchester United updates.
To continue to follow our live updates throughout the evening, refresh this page now or click here.
Seriously. Otherwise you'll just be sitting here as the magic happens elsewhere.
And we don't want that, do we?!
See you on the other side.
Manchester United target Leighton Baines has joined up with the England squad at St George's Park in Burton.
This obviously doesn't mean hewon't be signing for the champions, but it's looking increasingly unlikely.
United now have to blow Everton away with a bid that they can't turn down if they're to have any chance of signing the left-back.
Obviously, it's also worth remembering that Everton would have no time to get in a replacement, as mentioned by Sky Sports super-presenter Jim White in our exclusive interview today.
The Liverpool Echo's Greg O'Keeffe has revealed that Everton's interest in James McCarthy has cooled:
"Everton FC have cooled their interest in Wigan midfielder James McCarthy.
"Roberto Martinez had hoped to be reunited with the Republic of Ireland international he brought to the Premier League in 2009, as a replacement for Manchester United bound Marouane Fellaini.
"But negotiations between the Blues and Wigan chairman Dave Whelan are believed to have reached an impasse, with the Latics owner insisting he won't budge on his £15m valuation for the player."
Spurs have had a great transfer window, signing half a new side with the Gareth Bale funds.
But there's some bad news for Andre Villas-Boas after the north London derby.
Midfielder Etienne Capoue is out for four weeks after coming off worse in a challenge with Santi Cazorla on Sunday.
David McDonnell is back with the latest on Manchester United:
"Marouane Fellaini has been given extra time off by the Belgian Football Association before joining up with the squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier away to Scotland on Friday.
"Fellaini is poised for a £25m switch to United, with a deal said to be all but agreed with Everton. Fellaini is set to undergo a medical in Manchester later today ahead of the 11pm transfer deadline."
But Arsenal fans are finally looking on the bright side. One fan has even worked out that the Gunners can put out two decent teams:
(Well, apart from the fact that Bacary Sagna is in both...)
@arsenalvision pic.twitter.com/P8AGTFSMH2— Lewis Ambrose (@LA1886) September 2, 2013
Some Manchester United fans are still not convinced a big midfield signing is going to happen:
Still think we'll just end up with Scholes coming back again.— Darren Richman (@darrenrichman) September 2, 2013
Ed Malyon's got some Real Madrid news:
"Some more Real Madrid transfer news, and no it's not Bale.
"Nor is it Özil.
"No, Antonio Adán, the third-choice goalkeeper that became the pawn in Jose Mourinho's game of chess with Iker Casillas (and the Madrid fanbase) has been released by the club.
"At 26, he needs some first-team football and has been allowed to go and find it."
And here's David Maddock with more on Liverpool:
"It is the end of an era at Anfield. Every deadline day, almost without fail, the Reds announce a loan deal that removes some of Dani Pacheco's salary from the wage bill for a few months.
"Now though, it seems they are simply going to pay him off, with a move to Spanish second division side Alcorcon on the cards.
"The diminutive winger has been at Liverpool for about 17 years (well, six actually, but it seems longer), and made five starts, none of them in the league.
"In that time, he's been loaned to four different clubs...but was still given a new contract.
"A historic moment."
James Nursey checks in:
"West Brom boss Steve Clarke pleaded for new recruits after yesterday's home defeat to Swansea and it appears his prayers are being answered.
"The Baggies, who prop up the Premier League and are yet to score, announced the loan capture of attacking Marseille midfielder Morgan Amalfitano earlier today.
"Now Sunderland's Stephane Sessegnon (below) is in talks with the club over a switch from Premier League rivals Sunderland.
"And Albion, who want a more experienced keeper with Ben Foster sidelined, have also announced the signing of free agent Lee Camp on a rolling monthly contract."
Our man David Maddock suggests Liverpool might not be the only side in for a certain Chelsea playmaker:
"It seems Chelsea are completely unmoved by Liverpool's interest in Juan Mata. The Spanish for 'no' is 'no' - and that looks to be the Blues' answer before the Anfield club can even muster a serious offer.
"There could be a 'oui' on its way though, with PSG now lining up a move for Mata after missing out on Mesut Ozil. And that is where it is getting interesting, because sources in Spain are suggesting the French side could even throw Zlatan Ibrahimovic into the mix.
"That rumour seems fanciful, but if there is any truth in it we may see Jose Mourinho rise from his transfer window slumber."
Here's David Sullivan's son with what appears to be a Demba Ba update.
(Or could Kepa Blanco be in line for a sensational return?!)
We are battling to bring back one of our former stars, but there is probably only a 15% chance.— Jack Sullivan (@jsullivanwhu) September 2, 2013
Another Championship story from Ed Malyon:
"Wigan owner Dave Whelan described Crystal Palace's bid for Callum McManaman as 'insulting' yesterday - despite having bid £4million for one Wilfried Zaha only last year.
"Well now he's gone and bid £6million for Jordan Rhodes, yes, that's the Jordan Rhodes that cost Blackburn Rovers £8.5million and signed a five-year deal last summer.
"Having scored 32 in 54 since, to estimate that the 23-year-old's value would have declined by £2million Great British pounds might be a tad misguided."
Here's John Cross with another update:
"Everton have agreed a £15m deal for Porto's Brazilian midfielder Fernando - and that will open the door for Marouane Fellaini to join Manchester United.
"Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has attended a work permit hearing which holds the key to Fernando's arrival.
"As soon as that is completed, Martinez is expected to give the green light to Fellaini.
"United boss David Moyes is poised to come back with an improved offer for Fellaini after talks with Everton left him believing a deal will be accepted this afternoon.
"Fellaini is believed to be poised and ready for a medical and talks."
Terrible punning's Ed Malyon chips in with this:
"League Two Plymouth Argyle have made a record signing!
"No, wait [puts finger to earpiece] Plymouth Argyle have signed Jamie Reckord on a three-month loan deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"You know him, don't you? He was on loan at Scunthorpe United last season. Yeah, him."
This just in on Ander Herrera:
The usually on the ball @NikaCuenca of AS claims Ander Herrera will take a pay-cut from €4 million to €3 million a year to join Man United.— Dermot Corrigan (@dermotmcorrigan) September 2, 2013
David Anderson has the latest on Stoke City's transfer efforts:
"Mark Hughes is giving Stephen Ireland the chance to resurrect his career at Stoke.
"Ireland is in the wilderness at Aston Villa and Hughes believes he can help the midfielder out of the doldrums.
"Ireland was Manchester City's Player of the Year, beating Robinho and Elano, under Hughes and the Potters boss believes he can help him recapture this form.
"Ireland is believed to be joining Stoke on loan with his Villa contract due to expire in the summer."
German newspaper Bild (who probably know about this sort of thing) are reporting that Mesut Ozil to Arsenal will completed in an hour or so:
Last RT: "Arsenal to confirm Özil signing in one hour."— raphael honigstein (@honigstein) September 2, 2013
Here's an interesting little snippet for you.
Gareth Bale (heard of him?) has now earned £6,055.46 since joining Real Madrid.
No wait, it's £6,172.55 now.

Fasig-Tipton October yearling sale ends with record gross, average, and median
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Fasig-Tipton's bullish October yearling sale ended on a record-breaking note Wednesday here.
The three-day auction ended with 880 yearlings sold for $22,991,600, resulting in a $26,127 average and a $12,750 median. Those figures beat the previous records, all set last year, of a $17,046,800 gross, a $24,010 average, and a $12,000 median. Last year's auction sold 710 yearlings.
The buyback rate was level with last year's figure, 20 percent.
The final session Wednesday saw a $350,000 top price when Zayat Stables picked up an Arch-High Priestess colt for that price. The April 10 foal is the second foal for his dam, a Mt. Livermore half-sister to Group 3 winner Dijeer and to Grade 3-placed stakes winners Isn't He Clever and Sharp Writer. Monticule was the seller.
The Wednesday session's second most expensive horses was a $250,000 Indian Charlie colt from the family of Grade 1-placed Victory U. S. A. Charles Zacney, whose Cash Is King partnership campaigned dual classic winner Afleet Alex, bought the March 3 foal. The bay colt is out of multiple Grade 2 winner Foresta and was part of the Woods Edge agency's consignment.

The Detroit Tigers leave the All-Star break on top of the AL Central. They have turned in a nice first half but are far from a finished product. This is the best team that the Motor City has seen since the AL championship squad of 2006.
In recent memory, the All-Star break has been where the season for the Tigers has either taken off or gone downhill. In 2011, there is optimism on the highest level. There is no reason to think that this team can't win the World Series.
There are seven things that need to happen if the Tigers are going to win the division and have success in the playoffs. None are unreasonable, and if they are all achieved the roar could be back in Detroit.

Fionnan Sheehan: The task of building a real political force
Setting up a brand new party would be no easy challenge, writes Fionnan Sheahan, Group Political Editor
Published 12/01/2014 | 02:30
'Nothing but a group of disillusioned Fine Gael TDs that basically support the economic policies of the Government but reject their social policies." It's hard to disagree with independent TD Finian McGrath's assessment of the Reform Alliance.
Nonetheless, the potential emergence of a new political party on the horizon has created a frisson of excitement.
The fallout from the economic crisis hasn't really ended the traditional alignment of political parties that dates back to the Civil War. It has merely rearranged their order.
But it would be folly to suggest that breaking into this group with a new party is an easy prospect. Anybody considering that route would be well-advised to tread carefully, as there are numerous challenges.
The PDs was predominantly made up of disgruntled Fianna Failers who took Fine Gael votes. The Reform Alliance is made up of disgruntled Fine Gaelers looking to take the vote that has left Fianna Fail.
Based on the latest opinion polls, the vast bulk of the voters who deserted Fianna Fail as a result of the party's role in the collapse of the Celtic Tiger are still looking for a new home.
Fianna Fail spectacularly dropped from 41pc to 17pc of support in the 2011 General Election. The latest opinion poll last week shows the party only back up to 22pc.
Fine Gael and the Labour Party have currently lost the support gained in the last general election from Fianna Fail's decline, and dropped back to their pre-crisis levels.
A way of looking at it is that a whopping one-in-five voters in the electorate, who abandoned Fianna Fail and went to the coalition parties, are now drifting.
Factoring the normal shifts in sentiment into the equation, the level of floating voters is staggering.
The volatility provides a massive market of voters -- but not necessarily suited to the current make-up of the Reform Alliance.
To distance itself from Mr McGrath's assessment, the Reform Alliance desperately needs to divert its bloodlines away from the pure blue of Fine Gael.
Not that it can be assumed the current membership will join a new party if it is formed.
Lucinda Creighton is quite clearly the driving force and de facto leader behind the movement. Denis Naughten has clearly and repeatedly said he will not be joining any new party and will run as an independent. Billy Timmins is in two minds about being a member of a new party.
Terence Flanagan is regarded as the most likely to return to Fine Gael, but is playing a clever game in fending off the advances of the small fish in his party and waiting for the big game to come calling.
Peter Mathews is too unpredictable to know what he will do.
Fidelma Healy Eames and Paul Bradford have nothing to lose and the Reform Alliance, at the very least, provides the opportunity for mischief in the Seanad.
The potential recruits from outside the initial group are tantalisingly -- but not necessarily -- attainable.
Stephen Donnelly's signature would be a coup and his talents could do with the discipline of being a member of a political party where he would actually have to state clearly what he stands for.
Shane Ross is an arch self-publicist and joining a party wouldn't necessarily be in his best interests politically, especially as he already gets plenty of profile chasing down the street after every passing car with fumes of financial irregularity, barking at the tyres.
Roisin Shortall's well-established, left-wing credentials would make joining a grouping that originated from a conservative, pro-life position quite a leap of faith.
Her resignation from Labour on a point of principle and stance against the same old politics results in obvious parallels with the Reform Alliance's raison d'etre.
Her close association with fellow Labour Party dissidents Tommy Broughan and Patrick Nulty makes a substantial package.
It makes sense for that trio to work closely together and seek to link up with other like-minded individuals, but hitching on to the dissident Fine Gael bandwagon wouldn't be the obvious solution.
Drawing these various strands together to make the Reform Alliance a genuine multi-partisan party is a big ask.
It's the economy, stupid. The Seanad referendum was defeated but its reform is hardly high up on the list for many struggling families. Promising a move away from old-style politics is terribly laudable, but where's the beef?
Come the next general election, the economy will still be the number one item on the agenda, with the Government's performance being measured against the length of the dole queues and the money in people's pockets. The opposition will be pressed on what it can offer to do better.
Apart from supporting the Coalition's policies, the Reform Alliance has yet to set out anything new on the economic front. The members who left Fine Gael over the abortion legislation will feel there is a base of conservative support as a result.
But highlighting this position will serve to alienate as many liberal voters, who will rightly feel their perspective is not represented in the fledgling new party. The prominent attacks by the Reform Alliance on how Labour's social agenda is directing Fine Gael policy serve a purpose from a partisan perspective.
However, it does reinforce the view that the group is founded on conservative principles and does nothing to create a sense that the Reform Alliance is a broad church.
The 'Monster Rally' later this month will concentrate on harvesting ideas to formulate policies on the economy, health and political reform, which the group desperately needs.
Enda Kenny's helpful warnings about the difficulties in setting up a party with proper structures are not to be dismissed.
Some of the Reform Alliance's membership see the group as means to co-ordinate efforts in the Dail to propose policies and raise their own status. Nothing more.
Forming a party is another matter entirely. Building even a limited organisation is a big undertaking. At the very least, a party needs to decide on how to select candidates and having a co-ordinated message.
Money is a big problem.
The members can whinge all they like about the rules around taxpayer support for the political system meaning Fine Gael still receives funding for TDs who have left the party. Beyond the point-scoring, the legislation isn't going to change and any new party made up of these TDs will still be starved of funding up to the next general election.
The new laws around fundraising, the Electoral (Amendment) (Political Funding) Act 2012, make it even more tricky, with reductions in the maximum amount that can be accepted, changes to the disclosure levels and prohibitive restrictions on corporate donations. The solution is a well-organised party that can get small amounts of money from large numbers of people.
Kenny came up with this fundraising model for Fine Gael long before Barack Obama apparently invented it. Fine Gael's national draw has brought in an average of €1m a year for the past 12 years, providing a substantial war chest for campaigns.
The party banked almost €800,000 from the raffle this year, despite cutting the ticket prices from €80 to €60, by selling 13,000 tickets.
Fianna Fail has sought to replicate this formula, with less success, but still brought in €650,000 from its draw last year. A new party would need money to be competitive.
New candidates themselves need money to build local voter awareness, as Creighton herself will know from her breakthrough in the 2007 General Election.
She had the help of both young and veteran Fine Gael activists in organising her fundraising efforts, such as a night in the Shelbourne Park greyhound track in February 2007, which helped to pay for her constituency operation in Dublin South-East and her campaign in the general election that year.
Creighton's national profile means she doesn't need this much effort now, but a new party and new candidates would need comparable funding to get voters' attentions.
Unless the new party is able to replicate that Shelbourne Park-style effort, they'll literally be left in the traps.

Sweet Potato Pork Stew for 2
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 35 mins
Adapted from "Cooking for 2" magazine. Very simple and delicious.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 lb pork loin, cubed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, whole
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 small onion, cubed
- 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
- In a small bowl toss pork with mustard.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour and sugar; add pork and shake to coat.
- In a large sauce pan pour oil and cook pork, onions and garlic until pork is browned in all sides.
- Stir in broth. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in sweet potatoes. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Most Helpful
A straightforward and delicious recipe. I managed to miss that the mustard was to coat the pork, and so added about 1 1/2 tsp with the chicken broth. I was worried that the onions would burn, so I added them only with the last batch of pork to brown. (I needed to do this in batches, to make sure the cubes would brown and not steam). I then deglazed the skillet with part of the broth. I think next time I would cut the the garlic cloves in half, and would also add some fresh chopped thyme. Also, watch the liquid level, especially towards the end. This is a small quantity and even on a simmer, it can "boil" dry. I added perhaps 1/3 cup of broth. All in all a nice recipe. I can see doing the prep and browning in the morning, so that it just needs to simmer for dinner.
Because my pork stuck to the pan, I advise using a non-stick skillet to brown the pork! To ensure I'd have leftovers, I doubled the recipe! I used minced garlic, added 1/8 teaspoon thyme leaves, 2 bay leaves and 14 ounces stewed tomatoes, then thought the stew was a little too sweet, so I added the juice of a lime ~ and garnished with fresh cilantro! Made for PRMR ~ (Stars cleared and photo removed because a new recipe was created with the added seasonings/ingredients!)
was excellent..i added some diced red bell pepper for more color and served on rice...a keeper

BY STEPHANIE STOUFFER ANCHOR ANA COMPAIN-ROMERO You're watching multisource tech news analysis from Newsy Lewis and Clark. Christopher Columbus. Google MapMaker? Google now wants anyone and everyone to tap into their inner-explorer and help the company perfect Google Maps -- using Map Maker. "Have you ever wished you could add your local knowledge to Google Maps? Like your favorite pizza place, bike route, or college library. Now you can. Introducing Google Map Maker for the United States." (Google) Now any citizen cartographer can edit the official Google Maps to add local cafes, names of buildings on university campuses or even descriptions of neighborhoods. PC Mag says Map Maker has actually been around since 2005 in 183 countries -- Google just hasn't promoted it in the U.S. For anyone wondering about MapMaker's legitmacy... the magazine adds -- this is no Wikipedia. "Google has to review and approve each edit before it gets posted on Google Maps. In Wikipedia, people can make live changes that stay in an entry until a volunteer webmaster detects an error and pulls it down." And a writer for Tech Crunch says he can already predict the next step... "Building interiors aren't included as part of this release, but I suspect we'll see these added down the line (imagine being able to navigate through a mall or office building)." So why -- after all this time -- is Google just now promoting MapMaker in the U.S.? Wired says it's because it's been so successful elsewhere. "In Romania, where maps were atrocious but the internet connection was good, the maps quickly became good enough for navigation in about a week and, a year on, is practically complete … the States are more important to Google than any other country, simply due to the number of users and traffic." So next time you discover uncharted territory -- don't forget to add it to the map.

Will the Giants win without Melky Cabrera?
August 15, 2012
Melky Cabrera was having a stellar season, putting up a .906 OPS and trailing only Andrew McCutchen in the NL batting title race with a .346 average. He even managed to win accolades as the 2012 All-Star Game MVP. That's all in the past now, as he has been suspended 50 games for violating Major League Baseball's performance-enhancing drug policy. Cabrera was one of the big reasons for the Giants' success this season -- they sit in a tie atop the NL West with the Dodgers. Will they still make the playoffs without him?
