With the urgent need for the House to act on immigration reform, Tom Nassif returned to Washington this week for several meetings in the House and Senate, urging action.
Today, he met with the House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor and emphasized the need for the House to act, particularly as it relates to agriculture. He also had the opportunity to sit down with Congressman Paul Ryan, who has been an active participant in bi-partisan immigration talks underway in the House. With both these meetings, Nassif underscored that the House doing nothing is not an option, and agriculture is supportive of the House working its will but that must result in legislation passing the House.
Nassif along with other conservative leaders from the Business and Faith communities also met with the Senate Gang of 8 (Senators Schumer, Durbin, Menendez, Bennet, McCain, Graham, Rubio, and Flake) to discuss outreach and strategy to move legislation with the House.
Nassif also met with Rep. Costa and in addition to discussing Democrat support for however the House proceeds on immigration, also discussed the CA water crisis and challenges we are facing with Affordable Care Act implementation.

The maximum peak current occurs at the beginning of the discharge and the value is given by the ratio, charge buy viagra prescription online voltage/load resistance. & CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES The classical electroporation equipment basically works on the principle of capacitor discharge. The living skin has a significant capacitance in parallel to the resistive load, unfortunately. Moreover, the skin impedance and the resulting current are functions of several variables—skin condition, pressure of the electrode on the skin, moisture, stratum corneum thickness, etc.
If the load is purely resistive, the voltage waveform obtained is an exponential decay curve. This means that at the beginning of the discharge the resulting current is very high for a short period of time until the skin capacitance is charged to a value close to the voltage of the electroporation capacitor. Then the exponential current decay curve occurs. A capacitor is charged to a value of some hundred volts and then discharged on the tissue to be electroporated.

In a perfect world candy would be made from the best quality ingredients, corners would not be cut, and it could be something to truly be savored and enjoyed. Since the world is not perfect – yet – I make candy that I am happy to eat, and share, because I know it is made with the best ingredients. It is my little rebellion against the junk that is so prevalent on the market.

Mini "Monster" Purple Sweet Potato Cupcakes
Equally rich in color and in taste, purple sweet potatoes land on the slightly sweeter side of the flavor scale — so much so that my daughter refers to them as "birthday cake potatoes," — which got me thinking: why not make a homemade cake batter with this wildly hued vegetable as the star? Even better, why not use the sweet potatoes to make a naturally dyed frosting, too?
A Petrifying Pecan Pumpkin Shake for Halloween
This Petrifying Pecan Pumpkin Shake is a treat we all can get behind. It's easy to make, includes a vegetable, and is thick and rich while still being good for you. I love the flavors of pumpkin and pecan together and it's a perfect autumn combination for a wholesome Halloween treat.
Vampire Pie "Bites"
Looking for a fiendishly good treat for your favorite little ghouls and goblins this Halloween? How about some gruesome pies oozing with tart berry goodness? These little pies may look scary, but they are pretty sweet!
A Healthier Halloween (and "Mashed Brains" Guacamole)
Ah yes, Halloween. So many ooey, gooey, sticky, sugary treats, enough to make your teeth rot, which may serve you well if you're thinking of dressing up as a zombie. But if zombie teeth, weight gain and diabetes aren't the result you want from this ghoulish holiday, check out some of my favorite ways to get the same "frightening" look and taste without the Frankenstein ingredients!
Apple Pecan "Mummy" Dumplings
These little mummies are a modified apple dumpling that uses scraps of pastry dough to simulate bandages, apple slices for the bodies, and little bits of dry cranberry for the spooky, otherworldly eyes!
Maple Peanut Nougat Chocolate Clusters
Make these completely unprocessed chocolate clusters and prove to everyone that you can have your treat without any tricks!
It's OK. Limiting candy won't ruin childhood.
Kids can enjoy Halloween without stuffing their faces or making it all about the candy. Their childhood won't be ruined. They won't turn all binge-y and weird and scarf every multicolored sugar nugget the minute they get the chance. Really. They won't. That's a myth.

I have 2 Motorola DVR's from comcast. They both have problems but one gets all the premium channels (free) and has a loud hardrive and the other one locks up from time to time and I have to unplug it to get it to unlock. I dont want to return the one with the loud hardrive because it gets all the premium channels(free). What I want to do is switch the hardrives around and return the box that only gets the regular channels. If I switch the hardrives am I going to loose the premium channels? By the way this is the DTC6412III model

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman led the study -- an exhaustive analytical comparison of the top quarterbacks in the 2014 draft class -- and the Vikings' father and son team of Turners (offensive coordinator Norv and quarterbacks coach Scott) put passers through the paces of the Vikings' offense. But new Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was also on the Vikings' quarterback caravan this spring, crisscrossing the country with a specific role in the process and a manifesto about what he wanted to see.
Among other things, Zimmer zeroed in on the persona of the quarterbacks the Vikings might draft, trying to understand on a gut level what made them work and whether he'd be able to trust them as one half of a coach-quarterback partnership that could define both of their careers.
"Will this guy lead our football team? I want to make sure that the guy we bring in has the athletic ability but I also want him to have my persona," Zimmer said at the owners' meetings in March. "Because him and I are going to be tied together, whoever we draft. I don't want him to be a completely different personality from me if I can help it. I want this guy to be a leader and a guy who wants to take a bunch a guys and make a great franchise. I want him to be the first one in the building. These are a lot of things that I talk to them about and try to figure out how smart he is. All of these quarterbacks have played great in college and all of them could be the guy. The ones that don't make it are the ones when the lights come on and things are moving and he has to react and put the ball in the right place. How do you judge that? That's the biggest thing. How do we figure that out?"
Is it any wonder, then, that the Vikings ultimately ended up with Teddy Bridgewater? That Zimmer -- who had to wait until age 57 to become a head coach and vowed at his introductory press conference to make 31 other teams realize what they missed -- would be drawn to a player who promised to play with a chip on his shoulder after spending months in the crosshairs of NFL draft critics? That a coach looking for leadership would be quick to spot Bridgewater's ability to get Miami-area recruits to play at Louisville, and that Bridgewater would tell Zimmer just before the draft that Minnesota was where he wanted to be?
"You know, he sat down in my office," Zimmer said on Thursday, after the Vikings traded up to take Bridgewater with the 32nd overall pick. "He came in there and I asked him a bunch of questions and we talked about football and we talked about a lot of different things and I asked him, "What do you think is the best situation for you?" and he said, "Coach, you are going to think I'm blowing you smoke but I think the Minnesota Vikings is for me. This is really where I want to go." I usually can read guys pretty good and I think he was very sincere about it."
To be fair, the Vikings had Bridgewater second on their draft board, slightly behind Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel. A team source confirmed to ESPN's Bob Holtzman on Friday that the Vikings did try to trade up and get Manziel with the 22nd overall pick -- though it's questionable whether the Vikings would have been able to offer the Philadelphia Eagles enough to beat out the Cleveland Browns, whose offer included a first-round choice. And the Vikings had enough questions about both quarterbacks that they were willing to take UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr with the ninth overall pick, opening themselves up to the possibility they wouldn't get either of the top passers on their board. It's not as though the Vikings were so certain about Bridgewater that they weren't willing to risk losing him, and the 22-year-old will need some work before he's ready to assume control of the Vikings' offense. Zimmer said the Vikings wanted Bridgewater to play when "we feel like he's the best guy," but Spielman has talked about giving a young quarterback a "redshirt year," and with Matt Cassel signed for two years, the Vikings are under no pressure to rush Bridgewater.
But hearing Zimmer talk about Bridgewater -- and hearing wide receiver Greg Jennings say that he never thought Manziel would be a fit for "what we're trying to do here," it's hard not to think the Vikings ultimately got their guy. Zimmer ultimately got the Vikings job in part because of Christian Ponder's effect on predecessor Leslie Frazier's fortunes, and the Vikings' new coach came to Minnesota under no illusions about how a quarterback can steer a team one way or the other.
The Vikings took great pains to make sure they felt comfortable with the player they'd draft, and at this point, at least, it appears they found a match for their new coach. Many of the things that have been said about Zimmer -- about his hunger for work and his intestinal fortitude -- have also been said about Bridgewater, and both men come to Minnesota with smudges after having their noses rubbed in dirt. That's not a guarantee of any success, but it's not a bad place to start.
"We wouldn't have moved up just to get anybody," Zimmer said. "This was obviously a guy that we wanted, that's why we moved up to get him because this is a guy that we feel really, really strong about."

Welcome to your U.S. Air Force Academy, and congratulations on your new assignment. We're pleased to have you here. Shortly, you'll become part of the wonderful experience of preparing 4,000 cadets for careers in the United States Air Force. Everyone's effort is needed to ensure success — officers, NCOs, Airmen, civilian employees, contractors and family members. You'll help prepare our future leaders by serving as a role model, on and off duty, setting an example through your performance on the job, your appearance, your attitude and your conduct. Become involved with cadets, because your participation is important to their personal and professional development. Your involvement can take many forms: attending intramural, club and intercollegiate activities; coming to lectures presented by guest speakers; becoming a squadron participant; and, if eligible, by being a cadet sponsor. While you're here, you'll be able to take advantage of our extensive recreational facilities that are among the finest in the Air Force. We offer a wide range of seasonal programs to help make Colorado and its seasons enjoyable for our base community. Again, welcome to your Academy.
The Site Selection Committee, appointed by Secretary of the Air Force Harold E. Talbott, addressed the question of a suitable location for the Academy. Members of the committee bore in mind the advice of West Point and Annapolis representatives who suggested the Academy have an area large enough to accommodate cadet training and future expansion. Other criteria for the site included natural beauty, a variety of local educational, religious, cultural and recreational facilities, as well as proximity to large cities.
Your Academy
The Association of Graduates is the alumni association of the U.S. Air Force Academy. It is a nonprofit organization devoted to serving its members, improving the Academy by enriching the cadet experience and funding programs not supported by appropriated funds.
Services and Facilities
The 10th Medical Group is a well-equipped clinic with ambulatory (same-day) surgery. The clinic is in the DOD Western Region and provides services with our TRICARE Managed Care Support Contractor, UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans. Our professional medical staff provides care in most major medical specialties.
There are over 23 miles of multiuse, unpaved trails on the Air Force Academy plus 6 miles of similar trail at Farish Recreation Area for hiking, biking and equestrian use. Trail maps are available at Natural Resources, the Farish, Outdoor Recreation Center, FamCamp and on various public websites. The diverse and scenic trails include the 13-mile Falcon Trail, a 7-mile section of the County's New Santa Fe Trail, and hiking access into Pike National Forest on the Stanley Canyon Trail and Eagle Peak Trail. All trails are open 24/7 for DOD ID card holders, but use by the general public may be limited by the posted visitor hours and other access restrictions.
Local Area
When Capt. Zebulon Pike sighted Pikes Peak in 1806, "Pikes Peak or Bust" became a rallying cry for miners headed west to seek their fortunes. A group of prospectors chose the Colorado Springs site as the center for mountain mining activity, and this town became known as El Paso City.

It's pretty cool that Dwight Howard finally gets to add his name to the list of celebrities who have been slimed at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards, which seems like something he's always wanted to happen but was just a bit too embarrassed to admit. And it's even cooler that he's the first NBA player to be slimed in the illustrious history of the event, unless you count Mark "Mr. Cooper" Curry back in 1995. 'Twas quite the night for Big Dwig.

The US personnel staffing agencies industry includes about 32,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $300 billion.
Employment growth drives demand for the personnel staffing industry. The profitability of individual companies depends on good marketing and availability of qualified employees. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in marketing and back-office operations. Small companies can compete successfully by specializing in an industry or a job function. The US industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies generate more than 40% of industry revenue.
The US industry is divided into three major segments: temporary help services (about 50% of industry revenue), professional employer organizations (about 45%), and placement agencies (about 5%).
Temporary help services provide workers for customers for limited periods, often to substitute for absent permanent workers or to help during periods of peak demand. These workers, who are employees of the temporary help agency, will generally fill clerical, technical, or industrial positions. Professional employer organizations (PEOs), sometimes ...

This location is really starting to show its age. Enough for an overnight. Lots of shade and pick your site. Quiet. Laundry needed housekeeping.

Occasional train noise. I give the place a slightly higher rating than previous reviewers. - ebaldy

This is a good place to stay for one night. It's a decent park with level grass sites and easy pull-throughs. Owner is nice. There are some long-term rigs which detract from the overall niceness of the park. Still, park is EZ access from freeway, close to town, and quiet. Would stay here again for an overnight stay. - DrM Traveler
Oct 2013 - $15.00
We are used to RV parks with many long term campers, mostly workers, but this was different. My wife and I felt uncomfortable with groups of men in various dress walking around, smoking and drinking, in the middle of the afternoon. We had keys to the showers and I checked them out. Given the dark nature of the restrooms and the atmosphere we elected to use our own. Good Wi-Fi and cable. Office staff lady was helpful. No chickens, but there is a train very close to the park. We would try another campground in the future. Rate is PA. Nearby Country Oaks Golf Course was a good course and value on the Golf Card Program at a rate of $22 each. - rossby

Getting High in the Führerbunker, and Other News
September 26, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Let's start the day by insulting some dead writers, one of the finer pastimes at our disposal. The famed editor Robert Gottlieb's new memoir, Avid Reader, is chockablock with gossip about deceased luminaries, Alexandra Alter writes: "A highlight reel of Mr. Gottlieb's juiciest revelations includes swipes at the Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul (a narcissist and 'a snob'), the historian Barbara Tuchman ('her sense of entitlement was sometimes hard to deal with'), William Gaddis ('unrelentingly disgruntled'), John Updike ('I was disturbed that he wouldn't accept advances') and Roald Dahl (an 'erratic and churlish' author who made 'immoderate and provocative financial demands' and anti-Semitic remarks)."
- While we're at it, I'm always looking for new and novel ways to denigrate the Nazis. Norman Ohler, a German writer, has hit the mother lode—he discovered that they were all hopped up on amphetamines during the war. His book Blitzed tells a deliriously druggy tale of the Third Reich: "The Führer, by Ohler's account, was an absolute junkie with ruined veins by the time he retreated to the last of his bunkers … At a company called Temmler in Berlin, Dr. Fritz Hauschild, its head chemist, inspired by the successful use of the American amphetamine Benzedrine at the 1936 Olympic Games, began trying to develop his own wonder drug—and a year later, he patented the first German methyl-amphetamine. Pervitin, as it was known, quickly became a sensation, used as a confidence booster and performance enhancer by everyone from secretaries to actors to train drivers … It even made its way into confectionery. 'Hildebrand chocolates are always a delight,' went the slogan. Women were recommended to eat two or three, after which they would be able to get through their housework in no time at all."
Don't Worry, R. Crumb Is Still Weird, and Other News
April 26, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- To celebrate the reissue of George Plimpton's sports oeuvre (Paper Lion, Out of My League, et cetera), you'll probably want to see these pictures of him doing one of the things he did so well: getting in over his head with very athletic men.
- Crumb has a new exhibition at a London gallery—a surprisingly reputable turn for an artist who prides himself on his ill repute. But don't worry: he's the same old glorious pervert. "I was always a contrarian. My wife says sometimes I'm too much so—born weird. I always felt there's something odd and off about my nervous system. If everybody's walking forward, I want to walk backwards. During adolescence I couldn't fit in, and it was very, very painful. But it fired me to develop my own aesthetic. I was very much in pain about being this outcast, but it freed me to drop that Hollywood ideal and pursue the people that I thought attractive … My work is full of anger toward women. I was sent to Catholic school with scary nuns and I was rejected by girls at high school. I sort of got it out of my system, but anger is normal between the sexes. Okay, it can go to the top and men can harm women, but if anyone says they are not angry I don't believe it, especially while your libido is still going. The men who are most charming are often the most contemptuous."
- In which Eileen Myles gets paid for—can you believe this?—writing poetry. "A poem is my money … My poem is my property. Like my lawn. I get a thousand dollars for a poem in Transparent … I think The New Yorker gave me something like $600 for the poem 'Dissolution.' It had been the most I had ever gotten for a poem I think. Sometimes now when I am asked to write a catalogue essay for an artist I realize I could do a poem and I propose that or simply send it. In those cases I have gotten $1500 for the poems which is the most. Yet it is low for an art catalogue so in a way writing a poem is a kind of complaint. Here take a fucking poem for that price. I mean it doesn't literally feel that way but I'm always looking for the easiest way for language to pour. Especially in relationship to cash."
- Thirty years after the Chernobyl accident, the Zone remains a strange kind of literary center: "the Zone has spawned a literary genre of its own. Indeed, it seemed instantly to pass into myth, even possessing its own poetic language. The soldiers and firefighters who cleaned up the site—many of whom died from exposure—are referred to as the liquidators. Reactor Four remains encased in a concrete-and-steel shell known as the sarcophagus. In the Zone, there is a Red Forest; there was black rain … Through three decades of literary response, Chernobyl has undermined the sort of authoritative depiction that might bring closure. But something closed can be forgotten. The finest works express profound doubts about the power of language to absorb a disaster of this magnitude, and so continually reopen it to new ways of being remembered."
- Midcentury British boarding-school novels—sensible, stuffy, strict—wouldn't seem to offer much in the way of contemporary ethical guidance. But Nakul Krishna, reading Edith Blyton's school stories, begs to differ: "The schoolgirl's hell is not, as a character in Jean-Paul Sartre's play No Exit (1944) memorably puts it, other people; her hell is the isolated self, incapable of getting outside itself. Time and again, the girls must be brought to their lowest ebb (ostracism, betrayal, near-fatal illness or, worse, near-expulsion) before they are offered a glimpse of self-knowledge and the chance to get back on their moral feet. Sometimes an apology will do it, or an acknowledgement, or some gesture of recompense to those harmed. But Blyton, like life, can be brutal: not every character is redeemed by the end of the series, and no character is straightforwardly rid of her vices. There is only the lifelong challenge of acknowledging the reality of other people."
The Glories of Word Processing, and Other News
April 15, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Our Southern editor, John Jeremiah Sullivan, on David Foster Wallace's tennis writing: "David Foster Wallace wrote about tennis because life gave it to him … He wrote about it in fiction, essays, journalism, and reviews; it may be his most consistent theme at the surface level. Wallace himself drew attention, consciously or not, to both his love for the game and its relevance to how he saw the world … For me, the cumulative effect of Wallace's tennis-themed nonfiction is a bit like being presented with a mirror, one of those segmented mirrors they build and position in space, only this one is pointed at a writer's mind. The game he writes about is one that, like language, emphasizes the closed system, makes a fetish of it ('Out!'). He seems both to exult and to be trapped in its rules, its cruelties. He loves the game but yearns to transcend it."
- Everyone likes to shit on Microsoft Word now, but Dylan Hicks, reviewing Matthew G. Kirschenbaum's Track Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing, reminds us that the genesis of word processors was an exciting time to be a writer—and that word processing offered a glimpse of perfection: "Culling from specialized publications, mainstream journalism, and author interviews, Kirschenbaum recaptures the excitement and optimism writers often felt in the face of this magical new technology. To many, word processing seemed to promise a new possibility for aesthetic perfection. 'Perfect' was the leading marketing keyword, found in ad copy and in product names such as WordPerfect, Letter Perfect, and Perfect Writer, and more than a few novelists greeted the mantra as something more than hype. If, in one traditional view, literary perfection was either illusory or the province of poems and other short works, now, it seemed, even a long novel could be refined to an apotheosis of unalterable integrity. The modularity of word-processed text made major structural reorganization a matter of a few clicks (well, you'd probably need to switch back and forth between several floppy disks). You could tinker endlessly with sentences: transposing phrases, deleting a comma, replacing an adjective, restoring the comma. You could search out and decimate pet words and phrases. Hannah Sullivan, a scholar quoted by Kirschenbaum, wrote in 2013 that, with word processing, "the cost of revision" had 'fallen almost to zero.' Kirschenbaum quotes a 1988 interview with Anne Rice in which she held that, with word processing, 'there's really no excuse for not writing the perfect book.' "
- The main problem with using enormous mirrors to communicate with extraterrestrials is that it's too expensive. Yes, it sounds like a surefire way to make contact—you just rig up a heliotrope and beam a lot of light to the moon, where all aliens live—but when Victorian-era inventors tried to make good on this idea, they realized that mirrors aren't cheap. Sarah Laskow explains: "In 1874, Charles Cros, a French inventor with a flair for poetry (or, perhaps, a poet with a flair for invention), floated the idea of focusing electric light on Mars or Venus using parabolic mirrors. The next year, in 1875, Edvard Engelbert Neovius came up with a scheme involving 22,500 electric lamps. Then, an astronomer writing under the name A. Mercier proposed putting a series of reflectors on the Eiffel Tower, which would capture light at sunset and redirect it towards Mars … In 1909, William Pickering, the American astronomer who ... proposed the existence of a Planet O, gave some idea why. He calculated that a system of mirrors that could reach across the distance from Earth to Mars would cost about $10 million to construct."
- Eileen Myles on living in Marfa: "I went to Marfa on a Lannan residency in March of 2015 & fell in love with the place. I had been hearing about Marfa forever and grumpily thinking why can't I get invited there though most of my friends who had been there are visual artists but I wanted in. I think I even told the Lannan people about my deep frustration as I was accepting the invitation. Everyone loves Marfa though some people love to laugh at it because it's the most delightful combination of rough and twee. Things are falling down but there's always someone there to catch it for a year and put a sign on it and make it cool. It sees itself and yet the land is always hovering … But driving that stretch which is bordered by mountains is my real vista. I like to listen to music and drive along that road and sometimes the train passes. That's heaven to me."
- It's Friday, people. Get out there and befriend a pelican. The dean of a Czech medical school did it, so you can, too: "Vladimír Komárek, the dean of the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University in Prague, met his college's adopted pelican and immediately had a bond with it … In an interview posted on the university's website, the dean said the faculty had adopted a pelican at Prague Zoo, but he had never personally visited it … He scooped up his new feathered friend in his arms and posed for the cameras. Many commenters lightheartedly suggested that the duo shared the same haircut, and said this was why they appeared to get on so well. The bird seemed calm in his arms, despite the fact he was a human stranger."
Twenty Brutal Years of Tuscan Sun, and Other News
March 14, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Because people are incorrigibly nosy, and because no one seems to find it enjoyable to let an author write her books in peace, an Italian professor has sallied forth with yet another dubious claim as to the true identity of Elena Ferrante. And the professor's guess isn't very creative, either; it's just another professor. "The latest writer forced to deny that she is the creator of the critically acclaimed Neapolitan novels is Marcella Marmo, a professor of contemporary history at the University of Naples Federico II. 'Truly no, I am not Elena Ferrante,' she told Corriere della Sera, saying she had only read the first novel in the Neapolitan series and the newspaper should give her the other books as an apology."
- Today in super: what a shitty word super is, with its grating long u, its relentless cheer, its strange ties to start-up culture. Teddy Wayne writes "Super followed by an adjective—in other words, in adverbial form—was more than five times as common from 2010 to '12 as from 1990 to '94, with the biggest leaps coming in the last decade … What was once reserved for the best, the most awe-inspiring and the wondrous is now routinely deployed for the mundane, the banal and the taste of fro-yo … It is a prefix for a wealth of hard math and science terms (such as superset or superstring theory). It can imbue a nebulous proposition with what sounds like data-tested objectivity: 'We have implemented a superaccessible user database' comes off as more authoritative or more high-tech than 'We have implemented a very accessible user database.' "
- Eileen Myles has become that strangest of subspecies, the famous poet. Arielle Greenberg wonders why Myles's fame has itself garnered so much attention, and what it might mean for her work: "It is weird for a poet to be famous, and no one feels this weirdness more deeply than poets themselves. It's even more weird for a poet to be newly more famous—genuinely, glossy-magazine famous—in her mid-sixties, after writing nineteen books … Why is the media so obsessed with Myles's ascent into mainstream celebrity? I think a host of reasons are at play: the way Americans try to get 'cultured' by osmosis so that stylish articles about poetry make us feel more intellectual, the 'bootstraps' nature of Myles's story, the novelty of someone who ran for president as a piece of performance art getting photographed for glossy magazines. I find myself thinking about a term used a lot in my circles in the early 1990s: co-opting. Back then, it seemed that everything authentic and revolutionary and vital—the riot grrl movement, grunge music, hip-hop—was quickly gobbled up by the establishment and spat back out in clean, shiny packages for mass consumption. I worry that the hoopla over Myles is an attempt by the media to take everything underground about her and her work and use it to make itself look cool."
- The Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul's new film Cemetery of Splendor continues his long, oblique, quiet approach to political cinema, in which characters struggle to awake from the bland dream of history: "By far the most nakedly political film of Weerasethakul's career, it is a gentle, open-hearted story of human connection, and it is underlain at every moment by rage and dread. Midway through the film, the two main characters, Jen and Itt, go to the movies. In a slick modern multiplex, they watch a trailer for a schlocky horror flick, a fevered montage of impalements, heaving breasts, and prehensile tongues. This sequence is as close to a direct statement of intent as you'll ever find in a Weerasethakul film. Cemetery of Splendor has no gore, no bug-eyed demons or shrieking victims, and it makes time for flirtatious conversations with the local librarian, a long sales pitch for a miracle skin cream, and several public group workouts (a charmingly inexplicable staple of this filmmaker's work). But it too is a horror movie, all the more unsettling for its poky, daylit geniality."
- It's been twenty years since Under the Tuscan Sun was published, turning Tuscany into an unseemly pastiche of luxury and authentic European living. What have we done since? Jason Wilson explains: "I have sat on Tuscan-brown sofas surrounded by Tuscan-yellow walls, lounged on Tuscan patios made with Tuscan pavers, surrounded by Tuscan landscaping. I have stood barefoot on Tuscan bathroom tiles, washing my hands under Tuscan faucets after having used Tuscan toilets. I have eaten, sometimes on Tuscan dinnerware, a Tuscan Chicken on Ciabatta from Wendy's, a Tuscan Chicken Melt from Subway, the $6.99 Tuscan Duo at Olive Garden, and Tuscan Hummus from California Pizza Kitchen. Recently, I watched my friend fill his dog's bowl with Beneful Tuscan Style Medley dog food. This barely merited a raised eyebrow; I'd already been guilty of feeding my cat Fancy Feast's White Meat Chicken Tuscany. Why deprive our pets of the pleasures of Tuscan living?"

The Plums for Oscar Wilde's Pudding, and Other News
January 14, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Where 7Up is the uncola, poetry is the "un-Trump," Eileen Myles says: "Poetry always, always, always is a key piece of democracy. It's like the un-Trump: The poet is the charismatic loser. You're the fool in Shakespeare; you're the loose cannon. As things get worse, poetry gets better, because it becomes more necessary … I think it would be a great time for men, basically, to go on vacation. There isn't enough work for everybody. Certainly in the arts, in all genres, I think that men should step away. I think men should stop writing books. I think men should stop making movies or television. Say, for fifty to one hundred years."
- Last week, I sang the praises of Elliott Chaze's Black Wings Has My Angel, a 1953 heist novel about a seedy couple on the lam. It should have been turned into an excellent movie by now—but we're lucky because it hasn't, and that means we have no choice but to read it as Chaze wrote it. Writes Christian Lorentzen: "On a technical level, it is possible to write a perfect crime novel. You might say Black Wings Has My Angel is beyond perfection … [It's] the sort of love story in which either lover might turn in or murder the other at any moment until its last desperate pages … They stick with each other when everyone's against them, knowing that neither of them is really fit for the straight and narrow. When the surprises arrive, Chaze makes no false moves, and none of the plot's mechanics creak. There's a shoot-out, cigar-involved police brutality, and a jailbreak."
- Oscar Wilde faced accusations of plagiarism for most of his career—he was clever enough to know he'd sound more clever if he borrowed some choice phrases here and there. James McNeill Whistler, the American painter, was especially dogged in his efforts to bring Wilde's appropriated bons mots to light: "Many observers dismissed the idea that Wilde's youthful identification with his Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite poetic idols was so strong that his devotion to them—and not a desire to steal from them—resulted in his apparent copying of their writings … Toward the end of 1886, Whistler's temper flared up once more when he detected Wilde's flagrant appropriation of some of his phrases. 'What has Oscar in common with Art? except that he dines at our tables, and picks from our platters the plums for the pudding he peddles in the provinces.' 'Oscar,' Whistler's barbs continued, 'has the courage of the opinions … of others!' "
- There's a popular myth about "Paris Syndrome," an affliction of disillusionment that apparently strikes about a dozen Japanese tourists a year when, arriving at last in storied France, they find it to be startlingly imperfect beside their fantasies of it. Harriet Alida Lye called bullshit and visited the Japanese Embassy to set things straight. "The man in the press office cut short my efforts," she writes. " 'This so-called Paris Syndrome,' he said, 'is not recognized by any officials in either Japan or France, and there is no specific group within the Embassy that deals with any kind of health problems.' The embassy had 'no information and no statistics' on Paris Syndrome … What is it about Paris that creates the possibility for unrealistic expectations in the first place? … Why are people like my dentist unable to perceive that life in this city could be anything other than a dream?"
- What do Roger Angell, Diana Athill, and Ann Burack-Weiss have in common? They're all old; they all have new books about being old; their new old books are all good. Athill, who led an "unconventional love life," recalls in her book "how a memoir she wrote on that subject distressed her genteel mother. Their solution to this disagreement was to simply not talk about it, which Athill at first found ridiculous, then comic, and then, finally 'a very successful way of dealing with a difficult problem. You have a daughter whom you love, she does something you wish very much she hadn't done, but you want to go on loving her in spite of it.' The essay ends with Athill observing that this strategy really works. 'My mother and I grew closer and closer. There are no memories that I value more than that of the almost flame of love which lit her eyes when she opened them and saw me bending over her deathbed.' "

Horses make 4H Fair their stomping ground
For young jockeys and equestrians, the final day of the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fair was a chance to show off the hard work and practice put into their horses throughout the year.
Saddled horses trotted the fairgrounds Saturday afternoon to race and compete at Fun Day, with their owners steering them through the small dirt course. The Fun Day featured seven horse races and competitions, ranging from course loops to a costume show.
Alana Horstketter and Alissa Kelley were two of many girls who brought their prized horses out for show. The two were partners in the monkey in a barrel race, which involved Kelley riding her horse, Jasmine, down the course and picking up Horstketter, standing on a large blue barrel at the end.
Kelley said when she's racing Jasmine, the thought that runs through her mind is to avoid knocking over the barrel.
"Sometimes, you want to knock over the barrel because it's fun, but this time you can't," she said.
Horstketter focuses on the "kick, kick, turn."
Kelley has been training with Jasmine, a restless 20-year-old white and gray mare, for a year.
"She's very hyper, she loves to run, she loves to do poles, she loves to eat," Kelley said of her horse.
The two friends agreed that their favorite event of the day was the barrel race, where horses raced in a figure-eight around barrels.
"I like being around (horses)," she said.
Kristin Haire and Ryan Fritchley were also teaming up for the monkey in a barrel race with Haire's horse Casper.
"He's spunky sometimes," Haire said. "He's blind in one eye, so he spooks easier, but other than that he's just a normal horse."
Both girls had been riding horses for years, and competed in all other horse races that day.
"I've been riding since I could stand," Fritchley said. "I love making the horse run, making it run feels like you're flying."
Jennifer Brown, coordinator for the day's equine events, said the races and competitions were a way to celebrate the hard work entries put into training their steeds throughout the year.
"The girls in the Horse and Pony Club have been working so hard this year," she said.
Brown said she and her family have been involved with 4-H since her daughter, Lisa, started riding horses six years ago.
"She's learned leadership skills and respect, she's learned to care for her horse," Brown said. "She's learned a great deal."
The races wrapped up just in time to trot over to the closing event: the demolition derby. The derby pitted drivers against the other for a feat of roaring engines and flying mud.

Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

'Grinding' helps young women learn how to set limits
I'd like to bring a different perspective to the issue of dancing styles at Vashon High School. I graduated in June and am now at the University of Washington, living on-campus in Seattle. I've been following the debate about grinding whenever I'm home.
As a Vashon High student, I attended freshman Homecoming, senior prom and the many dances in between. I can say with confidence that my dancing at these events was not harmful to me on any level. Further, I believe the various dancing styles, including grinding, helped me become a more confident, assertive and responsible person, rather than the reverse.
I fully empathize with freshmen girls' initial reaction of shock on attending their first high school dance, because I felt the same way. But having attended a party at a fraternity my second week at UW, I can assure you the situation only escalates after kids leave Vashon High School (VHS). Moreover, a party in college is a group of strangers, rather than lifelong friends, and has no parental supervision. I knowingly put myself in that situation, acted responsibly and returned safely, and I believe my experiences at VHS dances enabled me to do so.
I agree that grinding, by definition, puts the boy in a position of power, and I understand why parents have a problem with this being imposed upon their teenage daughters. However, like it or not, that power relationship re-occurs in many other situations, and it's something I believe girls should know how to handle. It's as simple as moving a guy's hand when it feels uncomfortable, which I've done during high school dances. The ability to set my own boundaries allows me to feel safe in situations like a frat party, because I know I can protect myself if I need to.
But if your kids aren't going to college parties, it's not an issue, right? Well, many times I've been walking down University Way, a man has made a comment to me that falls under the category of unwanted sexual attention. Again, he is the one being aggressive toward me, yet I'm the one who has to deal with it. Those same boundary-setting skills help me feel less uncomfortable, think clearly and respond appropriately in these situations.
The majority of the time, grinding with my peers was a lot of fun. We respected each other and ourselves, and used the time as an opportunity to socialize the way we chose to. I don't think that it should be taken lightly that most VHS students surveyed by Eli Hoyt said that grinding does not feel overly sexual to them. We should trust that high school students have enough self-knowledge to know what their comfort level is and report it honestly when asked. Personally, my best memories from dances are of dancing with my best friends. Whether or not it looked sexual to an observer, I can assure you it wasn't.
However, when a guy does cross the line, firmly moving his hand is more than enough. Education doesn't stop after fifth period, and while grinding may not be parents' preferred means of education, learning how to react to situations that push boundaries while in a safe environment is (in my opinion) worth more than an A on a calculus test.

Within a matter of hours, 2010 will give way to a brand new year.
What that new year may hold for us musically both excites and terrifies me.
I know there will be new music that will take me to that very special place where the blood rushes to my head, the hair stands up on the back of my neck and an expletive shoots out of my big mouth before I take stock of who's within ear shot.
But I also know there will be new music that will simply leave me shaking my head while muttering something unpleasant under my breath.
You won't read about the latter in this column though.
I made a conscious decision some years ago to write only about music I believed was worth plunking down your hard-earned money for. The rationale for doing that is simple. Why should I waste space telling you what not to buy when that space would be better utilized pointing you in the direction of something you should seriously consider taking home or purchasing online?
All of which leads me, in a long, roundabout way, to a look back at 2010, a year in which I found more good albums than usual to write about.
They came from here, there and everywhere — from across the Atlantic, from south of the border and from here at home.
Unfortunately, not everything I stumbled upon that was worth writing about made it into print because I tend to think short and write long.
What follows is a list of 25 of the best recordings I came across last year. The top five recordings are ranked in order one to five. The remainder do not appear in any particular order.
Here goes:
1. Emotion and Commotion — Jeff Beck: Rough and ready guitarist Jeff Beck topped my year-end best list with Emotion and Commotion, his 10th studio album. Beck, who's never really gotten the kind of respect he deserves outside of the guitar community, floored listeners with this set that featured classic blues rock, funk and a mish-mosh of other things served up in some places with the help of a 64-piece orchestra and a guest list that includes Joss Stone, jazz singer Imelda May and opera singer Olivia Safe. Where else can you hear Screamin' Jay Hawkins covers and a sweet cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow? This album debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., the highest-ever debut in Beck's 45-year career. It debuted at No. 9 in Canada.
2. Clapton — Eric Clapton: Co-produced by guitarist and long-time collaborator Doyle Bramhall II, Clapton saw the rock icon mix it up with a set that incorporated brass band pieces more than 100 years old, obscure country blues songs and gritty new originals. Guest artists included J.J. Cale, drummer Jim Keltner, bassist Willie Weeks, keyboard player Steve Winwood, horn player Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow and guitarist Derek Trucks.
3. Six String Theory — Lee Ritenour: If the guitar is your instrument of choice you need to hear this record. Grammy Award-winning jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour brought together 20 of the world's leading guitar players from all styles of music to help celebrate the world's most popular music. The guest list included George Benson, B.B. King, Steve Lukather, Slash, John Scofield, Vince Gill, Keb'Mo, Robert Cray and Joe Bonamassa. They play solo and in combinations of three, four and even five guitar players. Rock, classical, jazz, ragtime, blues — everything under the sun is found here.

Government strives to turn immigrants into farmers
TT/The Local · 14 Sep 2007, 11:31
Published: 14 Sep 2007 11:31 GMT+02:00
Agriculture Minister Eskil Erlandsson points to farming jobs as one route open to unemployed immigrants who wish to avoid problems of social exclusion.
"I know that these sectors need competent personnel. I also know that a lot of people who come here from other countries have experience from the agriculture, fishery and food industry sectors.
"I think we can gain a lot from bringing people from other cultures into my sectors," said the minister in a statement.

Is Anybody Out There?

Thank-you Viburnum
My Magic Cottage lies about 20 feet from my bedroom door. Often, as a North Vancouver girl, I run the risk of becoming soaked with rain during that 20 foot dash. Thus, I slip on my crocs and nip across as quickly as possible. Today, despite the threat of a complete soaking, I was called to pause by a viburnum bush that anchors the corner of my cottage. I had to stop and breathe and breathe and breathe its gorgeous spring perfume.
I was blessed as the sky poured her waters over me while I inhaled renewal.

Gong Bath
lying in shavasana
the last brush of the gong reverberated through the room
my being seemed to leave my mat
swirling above my prostrate body
thank-you for that moment of other worldliness

once I was so cold
through and through
it was a coldness of soul
I was reptilian
unable to warm from the inside
I lay in a patch of sun
to be warmed from the outside

Because of You
in the woods
all alone
a needle
enjoying the ride
not yet strewn
to the forest floor
for offering
a bit of web
without you
because of you
i fell to pieces
in recognition
my whole

Jerry McKay is owner and president of McKay Landscape Lighting and the primary lighting designer for the company. He is a native of Omaha, Nebraska, a graduate of Creighton Preparatory School, and got his B.A. degree from Seattle University.
In 1987, he began a lawn care service that over time, slowly evolved into an outdoor lighting company. The business officially re-launched in 1992 as McKay Landscape Lighting. Since then, the company has grown into a regional market leader and one of the area's only dedicated outdoor lighting firms.
"I was privileged to be at the right place at the right time and learn from the "pioneer" of landscape lighting, Bill Locklin. That was in 1992. It's hard to believe that we've installed thousands of lighting jobs all over the country and made so many lifelong friends along the way."
