Dear DaMan,
I think what u said it's very uinfair...really...
I'm from Venice, Italy and I had a lot of German girls, especially during the summer...they always told me that, German men are very cold and drink a lot...actually we are not angels, but we know almost how to treat women, we teach them how to live as well...I was in love with a German girl, I went to her after few years, she was with a guy from Northern East Germany, I said, no worries, we are friends, as she loved me so much in the past and I would just to meet her, as I priomised her to... I talked to him , he said to me: Look, I don't like foreign countries...I started laughing...the day after, she left him and came to my bed to tell me "GOODMORNING" and u can imagine how this thing went..Actually, I would go to live to her or even nearby but she told me "I'm sure in 10 years, u gonna got back ur place, here is too cold and what would u expect when u live in the best country all over the World?".... anyway, we splitted up, but she always told me she has been never able to love so much somebody like she did to me..and it ois true, I know for sure..My parents lived in Germany as well, so I have a lot of German friends and Ich spreche Deustch auch mein Freund...Das ist wie Leben ist...ist das richtig?Berlin ist wuenderschoen so warum bist du so viel angst mit Italienern?Ich verstehe dich auch aber das ist nicht nett von dir...Start to respect people and other pèoint of wiev and if u wanna eat good spaghetti tell me!!!Ciao

Not all us guineas are dark and handsome. Robert Redford was seriously considered to play the role of Michael Corleone in the Godfather because many Italians have blonde blue-eyed looks. The Kelts, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Lombards, and the Vikings who eventually ruled Sicilia, made sure of that. Roman legions were also quite horny when they got to Gaulia, Germania and Britain.

I can not agree with you more!
The subject of cunnilingus and anilingus needs to be addressed in this forum. The tongue can make sex for a woman VERY pleasurable.

Italian men are the bomb to all kinds of women. Ok..ok..Most Italian men are the bomb as all ethnics have their not so great looking individuals. I must agree that Sicilian men and women are great looking people especially the Americanized ones like myself!!! These facts of myself are true: 6' 225lbs (bodybuild) black hair hazel/golden eyes and my buddy down below is an honest 8". This is not bad and all very attractive to women. I do however have a pinch of german in my blood from my fathers side. 3/4 Sicilian and 1/4 German.

This post is really cool. My great grandfather immigrated to America in 1901 from the Piedmont province of Italy biella north region. But his wonderful wife my great grandmother immigrated from Hamburg Germany. But great Grampian was affectionatte enough for both of them. I miss them very much. My other great grandmother was born in duesseldorf. And I had a great great grandmother who's last name was Kamm I don't know the region possibly Bavaria? I'm proud of both heritages but I consider myself. German and look so as well. Their is a lot of rich and not rich German Americans in the us also English. And in smaller numbers everyone else.

American sicillian I have to disagree with your mathematics. I would not call 1/4 just a pinch of something. If your. Quarter German that's a good amount your grandfather or grandmother is a very significant and close relative. I like German American women but as for euros give me a tall strong fair blond blue or green or brown eyed Polish woman any day. They are so sexy. Also I live on the Canadian border and I find French woman to be slightly exotic as well. The German soldiers had a lot of fun with them when they occupied France and vice versa. German women are bitches for the most part French are feminine and soft like a woman is supposed to be. And I like our Roman women dude always did. My brother just married a woman that is 3/4 southern Italian 1/4 German like yourself and her aunt looks German only darker and it is a good combination I must say. Greek chicks are hot as hell to. Ciao! Pasano.

I feel bad for german men soetimes.
German men 40 years old are strong. they have money, they have a good job in the industry.
They are world master in industry products machineries high tech.
German men like americans men are strong.
I think they should deserve a [reety chick.
And what their women wear ugly clothes. No style at all.
German women 40 years old stop wearing sex clothes.
And their is this fat issue like in USA.
Sincerly i think it's a national issue in your country.
Men deserve pretty chick when they built beautifull products reliable that the whole planet enjoy.
why are you so fat and badly dressed when you turn 35 40 years old.

Well, honestly I would have to agree that a lot of us get bad reputations due to the bad decisions 90% of our population makes. I'm speaking solely about the social characteristics of the typical American man, of course.I agree that a good majority of the typical stereotypes of the Americans are true. However, I don't believe that every single one of us deserves to be subjugated to insult. For example, we're not unintelligent. Some of our Universities are rated the best in the world, and the newer generations are college bound and they study hard. Secondly, we are not ignorant of the world around us. We're a country who constantly engages foreign affairs (which I personally don't agree with in the slightest). We get it. We're also a country melded from every culture around the world. Also, we put a lot of effort in the things we love the most. This includes relationships, family. work, etc. Every country and culture has ignoramuses.

WHISPERING WINDS CATHOLIC CASE CONFERENCE CENTER, INC., PLAINTIFF,v.MARKEL INSURANCE COMPANY, AND DOES 1 TO 75, INCLUSIVE, DEFENDANTS.
ORDER (1) GRANTING IN PART LIMINE and (2) ADDRESSING MATTERS RELATED TO TRIAL AND DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFF'S MOTION IN [Doc. No. 72]
On June 22, 2007, the Court held a hearing on Whispering Winds Catholic Conference Center's ("plaintiff") motion in limine*fn1 (Doc. No. 72) and Markel Insurance Company's ("defendant") ex parte application (Doc. No. 73) to continue the trial schedule. The Court denied defendant's ex parte application. The Court heard oral argument on the motion in limine and other matters related to trial preparation. The Court hereby ORDERS the following:
-The Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART plaintiff's motion in limine to limit experts' testimony to opinions rendered in their Rule 26 written reports and depositions. The Court finds that Markel has not shown the "substantial justification" required to introduce Rule 26 evidence that Markel failed to disclose timely. See Fed. R. Civ. 37(c)(1). The failure to disclose is not harmless because the introduction of the undisclosed evidence at trial would result in unfair surprise to plaintiff. The motion is denied to the extent that the Court will allow Mr. Peter Fowler, defendant's construction costs expert, to offer rebuttal testimony concerning the opinion and cost estimate of plaintiff's expert, Mr. Ted Bumgardner. Id.; Fed. R. Evid. 703; Hill v. Reederei F. Laeisz G.M.B.H., Rostock, 435 F.3d 404, 423 (3d Cir. 2006).
-In addition to the seven trial days previously assigned (July 24-27, August 1-3), the Court ADDS an eighth trial day: Tuesday, August 7.
-The Court ASSIGNS twenty (20) hours of trial time to plaintiff, and eighteen (18) hours of trial time to defendant.
-The Court SHALL ALLOW evidence concerning plaintiff's claim for extra expenses. The Court's ruling IS WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Because of this ruling, Mr. Don Kojis SHALL SIT for a supplemental deposition prior to the beginning of trial.
-In its February 27, 2007 Order on the cross-motions for summary judgment, the Court held defendant was "liable for bad faith arising from its ongoing delay in paying the undisputed Policy benefits." (Doc. No. 55, at 11.) The amount of unpaid, undisputed Policy benefits was $20,424. (Id. at 7.) The Court did not find that defendant acted in bad faith with respect to any other aspect of plaintiff's claim. Therefore, when the parties submit proposed jury instructions, those instructions SHALL BE CONSISTENT with the Court's prior finding that defendant acted in bad faith only in its ongoing failure to pay $20,424 of undisputed Policy benefits.

Buffy is a toy poodle, she will be 2 in November. My Bf bought her as a Valentine's gift for me in February of '07
She loves her toys; fetch, play keep away. She also loves to chase and play with our cats, and play with Henry when she can get him to play; He's getting to be an old man, and likes to save up his energy for chasing squirrels! Her favorite thing, though, is to be where ever I am, and of course, car rides!
Buffy is a sweet and beautiful dog. She reminds me of my Grandmother's dog Buffy who was a white poodle as well, but not a toy poodle. My Grandma and Buffy have both gone, but their sweet memories live on. Thanks again for sharing.
Your Buffy reminds me of my Grandmother's dog Buffy as he was a white poodle as well, but not a toy poodle. Grandmother and Buffy are both gone, but their sweet memories live on. Thank you for sharing.

October 12, 1979
BARRY FEINSTEIN, et al., Plaintiffs, against ALBERT B. LEWIS, Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, et ano., Defendants.
This action for injunctive and declaratory relief raises the issue of whether an employee welfare plan established pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement between a public employer and a union for the benefit of public employees is exempt from the provisions of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C. § 1001 Et seq.
There being no material issues of fact, and the Court having duly considered all of the legal arguments, judgment is rendered for the defendants.
Plaintiffs are trustees of four employee welfare funds
(the "Plans") which were established in accordance with collective bargaining agreements entered into between Local Union 237 (the "Union"), affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and each of four employers, the Town of Babylon, the Town of Islip, the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District, and the Brentwood School District. All of the employees covered by the four Plans are employed by one of these towns or school districts, and the Plans are exclusively funded by contributions from the employers. Each Plan is administered by a separate board of trustees comprised of six members,
three of whom are appointed by the Union and three of whom are appointed by the respective employer. In the event of a deadlock between the Union and employer trustees, the matter is submitted to arbitration.
In 1973, each of the Plans filed a registration statement with the Insurance Department of the State of New York pursuant to the provisions of the New York State Insurance Law. Thereafter, the Plans filed periodic reports and continued to comply with the state requirements. In 1975, however, ERISA came into effect and each of the Plans ceased complying with the Insurance Law and began complying with the reporting, disclosure and auditing provisions of ERISA.
In March 1975, plaintiffs sought an advisory opinion from the United States Department of Labor as to whether the Plans were exempt from or governed by ERISA. Plaintiffs did not receive a response to their request.
In December 1978, the New York Insurance Department notified the Plans that they had not been complying with the Insurance Law and requested that annual reports for the years 1976, 1977 and 1978 be filed "without delay." In response, plaintiffs advised the Insurance Department that the Plans had been complying with ERISA, but the Insurance Department nevertheless continued to insist upon compliance with the New York statutory scheme.
On March 7, 1979, plaintiffs again requested an advisory opinion from the Department of Labor. Plaintiffs did not receive a response, and after the commencement of this lawsuit, the request was withdrawn.
On April 10, 1979, and again on April 25, 1979, the Insurance Department informed plaintiffs that it would commence proceedings against the trustees of the Plans to fine them up to $ 2,500 each and/or to remove them from office.
On April 27, 1979, plaintiffs filed the instant complaint naming as defendants Albert B. Lewis, Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, and Ray Marshall, United States Secretary of Labor. The complaint seeks a judgment declaring Article III-A of the New York State Insurance Law illegal and inoperative as to plaintiffs, compelling defendant Marshall to enforce the provisions of ERISA and to issue regulations and advisory opinions defining the coverage of ERISA, and enjoining defendant Lewis from enforcing the provisions of Article III-A of the Insurance Law against the Plaintiffs.
On April 27, 1979, plaintiffs sought by order to show cause an order temporarily restraining defendant Lewis from commencing or maintaining any legal or administrative action to remove or fine the plaintiffs. With the consent of defendant Lewis, temporary relief was granted pending resolution of the merits of this suit.
In June 1979, the Department of Labor responded to plaintiffs' request, which had been withdrawn, for an advisory opinion. In a letter addressed to plaintiffs' counsel, the Department of Labor concluded that the subject Plans were "governmental plans" within the meaning of section 3(32) of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1002(32), and therefore excluded from coverage under Title I of ERISA by virtue of section 4(b)(1), 29 U.S.C. § 1003(b)(1). The letter is reprinted at 244 Pens. Rep. (BNA), at R-3 (1979).
In July 1979, the defendant Marshall moved to dismiss the complaint as to him on the grounds of lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
ERISA sets forth a comprehensive scheme for the protection of employee benefit plan participants and their beneficiaries. The provisions of Title I of ERISA apply generally to "any employee benefit plan . . . established or maintained (1) by any employer . . .; or (2) by any employee organization . . .; or (3) by both." ERISA § 4(a), 29 U.S.C. § 1003(a). Specifically excluded from coverage under Title I of ERISA, however, is an employee benefit plan that is also a "governmental plan," ERISA § 4(b), 29 U.S.C. § 1003(b), which is defined as "a plan established or maintained for its employees by the Government of the United States, by the government of any State or political subdivision thereof, or by any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing. . . ." ERISA § 3(32), 29 U.S.C. § 1002(32).
In the instant suit, it is undisputed that the Plans are employee benefit plans within the meaning of section 4(a) of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1003(a), and that the employees covered by the Plans are employees of "the government of (a) State or political subdivision thereof, or (of an) agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing." Additionally, it cannot be disputed that the New York State Insurance Law is preempted by ERISA to the extent that the state statute purports to affect employee benefit plans covered by Titles I and IV of ERISA. ERISA § 514(a), 29 U.S.C. § 1144(a).
See Azzaro v. Harnett, 414 F. Supp. 473, 474 (S.D.N.Y.1976), Aff'd mem., 553 F.2d 93 (2d Cir.), Cert. denied, 434 U.S. 824, 98 S. Ct. 71, 54 L. Ed. 2d 82 (1977). Hence, the only issue before the Court is whether the Plans are plans "established or maintained" by governmental bodies.
"The starting point in every case involving construction of a statute is the language itself." Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores, 421 U.S. 723, 95 S. Ct. 1917, 44 L. Ed. 2d 539 (1975) (Powell, J., concurring). As noted above, ERISA defines a "governmental plan" as "a plan established or maintained for its employees" by a governmental body or instrumentality. The use of the conjunction "or" indicates that a plan is a governmental plan if it is Either established Or maintained by a government body for its employees.
See United States v. Astolas, 487 F.2d 275, 279 (2d Cir. 1973), Cert. denied, 416 U.S. 955, 94 S. Ct. 1968, 40 L. Ed. 2d 305 (1974).
Plaintiffs contend that the Plans are neither established nor maintained by governmental bodies. Because the Plans were established pursuant to collective bargaining agreements between the employers and the Union rather than by statute, ordinance, constitution or other unilateral governmental action, plaintiffs claim that the Plans were not "established" by governmental bodies. And, because the Plans are administered by boards of trustees composed of both employer and Union trustees, with deadlocks to be resolved by arbitration, plaintiffs argue that the Plans are not "maintained" by the towns and school districts.
I disagree in both respects. I do not believe that Congress intended the words "established" and "maintained" to be so narrowly construed. The mere fact that a town or school district sets up a benefit plan for its employees as a consequence of negotiations and collective bargaining rather than because of some unilateral action or decision simply does not lead to the conclusion that the plan was not "established" by the town or school district. Although they did so in conjunction with the Union,
the towns and school districts involved herein did nevertheless "establish" the Plans. Moreover, there can be no doubt that the Plans are "maintained" by the towns and school districts for their employees. Although the Plans are jointly administered by the Union and the employers through the boards of trustees, they are exclusively funded and hence "maintained" by the employers.
The legislative history of ERISA provides further support for the conclusion that the Plans are governmental plans within the meaning of section 4(b), 29 U.S.C. § 1003(b). ERISA was enacted primarily to curb abuses in the administration of Private employee welfare and pension plans. ERISA was preceded by the Welfare and Pension Plan Disclosure Act of 1958, 29 U.S.C. § 301 Et seq., repealed, ERISA § 111, 29 U.S.C. § 1031, certain provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 141 Et seq., and certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. §§ 401-04, 501-03. See generally H.R.Rep. 93-533, 93d Cong., 1st Sess. (1974), U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News, p. 4639. Because of the inadequacies of these acts in protecting the rights of private employees, comprehensive reform of the private pension system was deemed necessary by the legislature. Id. The Plans at issue herein do not, of course, involve private employees.
Plans established by state and local governments are generally excluded from coverage under ERISA because of concerns of federalism. In a summary of the major provisions of a predecessor bill, Senator Lloyd Bentsen commented that: "State and local governments must be allowed to make their own determination of the best method to protect the pension rights of municipal and state employees. These are questions of state and local sovereignty and the Federal Government should not interfere." 1 Legislative History of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 220 (1976) (hereinafter cited as Legislative History ). Plaintiffs urge the Court to hold that a plan established by a governmental body for its employees is a "governmental plan" if it is established pursuant to statute, ordinance or constitution, but not if it is established pursuant to collective bargaining and negotiations. This distinction, in my view, is an untenable one; the holding urged by plaintiffs would frustrate Congress' intent to refrain from interfering with the manner in which state and local governments operate employee benefit systems. Public employers may be reluctant to institute employee benefit plans pursuant to collective bargaining and negotiations if such plans are subject to ERISA while plans established by statute, ordinance or constitution are not.
Discussions in the congressional reports and hearings on the question of the exclusion of governmental plans are replete with such general references as "public employee plans," "public sector plans," "State and local public employee funds" and "plans sponsored by State and local governments."
See, e.g., H.R.Rep. 93-779, 93d Cong., 2 Sess. 46 (1974); 3 Legislative History 4685 (remarks of Representative Broyhill); Welfare and Pension Plan Legislation: Hearings on H.R. 2 and H.R. 462 Before the General Subcomm. on Labor of the House Comm. on Education and Labor, 93d Cong., 1st Sess. 222, 368, 467, 649 (1973). In commenting on the fact that a provision including state and local public employee benefit plans under the ambit of the reporting and disclosure sections of H.R. 2 had been dropped from the final draft, Representative John H. Erlenborn stated that "the Committee missed the opportunity . . . to foster honesty in government and to give Public employees the comprehensive protections and guarantees . . . deem(ed) vital to private employees." H.R.Rep. 93-553, at 44, U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News, p. 4668 (emphasis added). See id. at 9, 43. These discussions clearly demonstrate that Congress, in exempting governmental plans, was concerned more with the governmental nature of public employees and public employers than with the details of how a plan was established or maintained. See Fleck v. Spannaus, 449 F. Supp. 644, 654, (D.Minn.1977), Rev'd on other grounds sub nom. Allied Structural Steel Co. v. Spannaus, 438 U.S. 234, 98 S. Ct. 2716, 57 L. Ed. 2d 727 (1978) (ERISA excluded "public employees" because the legislature determined the need for protection was greatest in private industry, citing 29 U.S.C. § 1003(b)(1)) (dictum); Standard Oil Co. v. Agsalud, 442 F. Supp. 695, 703-04 n. 9 (N.D.Cal.1977) ("(References) (in legislative history of ERISA) to "private' plans were intended to refer to plans which are maintained neither by the government nor for government employees. . . . Private plans contrast with public plans, as in the case of the exemption for government plans for employees in the public sector . . . .") (dictum); Comment, The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974: Policies and Problems, 26 Syracuse L.Rev. 539, 549 n. 70 (1975) ("Governmental plans include those established for the employees of federal, state and local governments.").
The third circuit has observed, in a labor law context, that "(w)hen Congress has decided to extend coverage of . . . federal labor legislation to public employees, it has specifically amended the definition of employer to include states and political subdivisions. Another technique Congress has chosen in dealing with employees in the public sector is to enact a separate statute and model it after (existing law). Had Congress intended that states and political subdivisions be covered . . ., it could have done so explicitly by means of one of these techniques." Crilly v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, 529 F.2d 1355, 1362 (3d Cir. 1976) (footnotes omitted). In the instant case, Congress did not expressly include states and political subdivisions in the definition of "employer" in ERISA. See ERISA § 3(5), 29 U.S.C. § 1002(5). Additionally, Congress has in fact considered enacting a separate statute to cover public employees. ERISA expressly provides for the study of "retirement plans established and maintained or financed (directly or indirectly) . . . by any State . . . or political subdivision thereof . . . ." ERISA § 3031, 29 U.S.C. § 1231. Last year two members of Congress introduced a bill entitled the Public Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1978, H.R. 14138, which would impose federal standards for reporting and disclosure, fiduciary responsibility, and plan administration on "all pension plans not otherwise covered under ERISA which are established or maintained for the benefit of the employees of the government of any state or political subdivision . . . ." 207 Pens. Rep. (BNA), at R-19; See also id. at A-14. Hence, it is apparent that Congress intended through section 4(b)(1) to exclude public employees from coverage.
In accordance with the above, I hold that the Plans are "governmental plans" exempt from coverage under Title I of ERISA by virtue of section 4(b)(1), 29 U.S.C. § 1003(b)(1). Judgment is rendered for the defendants
and the complaint is dismissed in its entirety.
Submit judgment on notice within 10 days after entry of this decision.

Kirsten asked:
Could I inject DNA from one plant into another to make a new fruit?
We put this question to Professor Jonathan Jones:
What distinguishes one fruit from another, involves more than one gene. Its pretty complicated. If you want to convert white grapes to red grapes, then the gene that distinguishes them is defined. You could put that gene and get a red grape back, but you couldnt change species with one gene.

I wonder how much time and effort the likes of Shakespeare would have needed to popularize their literary phrases compared to the time taken for the phrase "Green Shoots", coined by Ben Bernanke. We all know that Economist publishes a monthly bar chart indicating the number of times the word was used in the media. I marvel at the sheer power and ability of such people to make the market jump like a puppy for a cookie, in a hope for a cookie rather.

Ever since Coco Chanel was an orphan in her younger years, this fragrance seemed to follow her. When it came to choosing a scent that she liked for her perfume, she chose the fifth vial presented to her by Ernest Beaux that she felt was just perfect. To her it only made sense for her to name the perfume Chanel No. 5 and she also felt it would bring good luck.
The bottle design for the Chanel Number 5 perfume
"... the perfection of the product forbids dressing it in the customary artifices. Why rely on the art of the glassmaker…Mademoiselle is proud to present simple bottles adorned only by…precious teardrops of perfume of incomparable quality, unique in composition, revealing the artistic personality of their creator."
As for the stopper, it has been changed numerous times over the years. The original was a small glass plug, in 1924 it was changed to a signature octagonal stopper, in the 50s it was changed to a bevel cut stopper that had a larger thicker silhouette, in the 70s the stopper became even more prominent but then in 1986 it was re-proportioned so that it suited the bottle more in size.
For those who couldn't necessarily afford to purchase the full size of this perfume had the opportunity to get a "pocket flacon" made to be carried around in your purse. This way a broader customer base could experience a taste of exclusivity.
Andy Warhol had even commemorated the perfume in a pop-art he titled "Ads: Chanel." By that point, the Chanel # 5 perfume had become such an iconic and identifiable cultural artifact.
Ever since Coco Chanel met chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux on the French Riviera in early 1920, she had been thinking of developing a distinct modern fragrance for some time. Ernest Beaux was a master perfumer at A. Rallet and Company. This company was the official perfumer to the Romanovs Russian royal family and had created a scent for the Czarina Alexandra specifically for her only. Throughout his time Ernest Beaux had created many successful scents for both men and women.
Over several months in the late summer and autumn of 1920, Ernest Beaux was working on and perfecting what was to become Chanel No. 5. He worked from the rose and jasmine base of Rallet No. 1 and altered it to make it a cleaner and more daring scent. This scent is alike to the pristine polar freshness he had lived in during his war years. He then experimented with modern synthetics along with his own notes that he invented to make up the Chanel No.5 formula. The key to creating this perfume was Beaux's use of aldehydes. Chanel No. 5 is a perfume that resembles her past places and childhood years as an orphan, her years at Grand Duke Dmitri's royal court in czarist Russia along with Ernest Beaux's icy arctic note.
The Chanel Number 5 perfume is a must have for any collector.

When it comes to the battle for the right to life, one assumption that we make in the evangelical world is thinking that we must elect one degree of despot over and against another despot in order to get the Supreme Court we need to overturn Roe v. Wade. For those of you who are just waking up to social issues, Roe v. Wade is the Supreme Court ruling that legalized the murder of children in the womb of their mothers.

This Irish Soda Bread was just like I got in Ireland every morning for breakfast! It was great! I think next time I make it I will add just a pinch of table salt. It was quick and easy to make and it went well with corned beef and cabage. This bead should also go great with the Beef Stew with Guinness Stout also a great recipe.
Simple and very good. There are lots of recipes for Irish soda bread--this one's a keeper. Thanks for sharing it.
Delicious! I made this (along with 8 other Irish recipes!) for a St. Patrick's Day meal for our whole family - and this bread was fabulous! My children have requested I make it often... so guess what's in the oven right now! Thank you for a super easy and tasty recipe!

Legg Mason backs Yahoo board
Legg Mason's Capital Management unitâwhich owns 4.4% of Yahoo's outstanding sharesâplans to vote in favor of Yahoo's current directors at the annual meeting in August, defying Carl Icahn's efforts to replace the board with his own slate after Yahoo rejected a takeover by Microsoft.
"We believe the current board acted with care and diligence when evaluating Microsoft's offers," said Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer of Legg Mason Capital Management.
The asset management firm added that it believes large shareholders should have representation on boards if they so desire. Legg Mason said it prefers for Yahoo and Icahn to reach a mutual agreement for the composition of the board.
Legg Mason also said Microsoft should be willing to negotiate with Yahoo's current board, not just with a board led by Icahn.
"While boards are there to protect shareholder interest, shareholders own the company," Miller said. "If Microsoft wants to acquire Yahoo, it can make the terms and conditions of its offer public. If Yahoo shareholders support it, I am confident the board of Yahoo will accept it."
Icahn, an activist investor of Yahoo, has been waging a proxy war with the company over Yahoo's rejection of a bid by Microsoft to buy the company.
Saturday, Yahoo rejected Microsoft's latest offer, which had been to buy its search business. Yahoo had portrayed the deal as being conditioned on the removal of chief executive Jerry Yang and Yahoo's board, though Icahn said Monday that Microsoft was "willing to discuss keeping a number of the current board members and Jerry Yang as Chief Yahoo."
Icahn called Yahoo's rejection of the latest offer "another grave mistake that will be deeply regretted," along with the $33-per-share offer Yahoo refused last month.
The Internet search giant has said it is open to any transaction that delivers full value to stockholders. "We just do not believe such a transaction should be dictated by Microsoft and a single short-term investor," Yahoo said when rejecting Microsoft's latest offer.
Yahoo shares fell 1.8% in recent trading, while Microsoft was down 8% amid its latest quarter's results falling short of expectations and the company issuing weaker-than-projected guidance for the current quarter.

Dirty laundry. He said, she said. "We don''t comment on pending litigation (but if I could I would tell you that the slime bucket suing us..)." The news media is relentless in its pursuit of a controversial story that attracts widespread public attention, and public opinions are quickly formed based on the initial slant of the news stories. The truth and facts are often lost in the heat of a sensational story involving a known public figure or an unfortunate individual caught in the public spotlight.
If you are that public figure or individual, who do you call to protect or salvage your reputation? Meet Joe Householder, director for Public Strategies Inc. Householder has engaged in these battles for more than 15 years, most recently counseling City of Houston Councilwoman Carol Alvarado during the city employee pay bonus scandal. He will be the keynote speaker at the April 4 luncheon providing insight on how to manage clients in a hostile public environment that labels you "Guilty, until proven innocent."
Prior to joining Public Strategies, Householder served as communications director for U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, successfully navigating the challenging media climates of both Washington, D.C. and New York. Previously, Householder was director of public affairs for Varoga Rice & Shalett, a Houston-based public-policy firm, and served as communications director for the successful re-election campaign of Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and Lieutenant Governor Sally Pederson.
Householder also worked as media-relations manager for the Vinson & Elkins law firm, where he helped raise the firm''s profile and provided assistance to both its attorneys and clients. During his tenure there, the firm allowed Householder a one-month leave of absence in order to act as press secretary for Houston Mayor Lee Brown during a contentious runoff re-election. Householder''s work was successful and high-profile; his assistance at that critical time during the campaign is still remembered among Houston political circles.
Householder began his career as a market-climbing broadcast reporter. He worked in Birmingham, Alabama and Orlando, Florida, before reaching a ten-year stint at Houston''s powerhouse radio news channel, KTRH. Householder rose through the ranks at KTRH to become assistant news director, and was well-regarded for his work as a genuinely fair and knowledgeable radio reporter for the station.

The 2016 Summer Show with an Ice Cream Social Reception opened to a big crowd on Saturday, July 2. Eighty to 100 people attended the two-hour event.
Twenty-one artists displayed 51 pieces of original art, including oil, acrylic, photography, fiber, watercolor, ceramics, pastel, encaustic and sculpture. The Ice Cream Social served six varieties of fresh baked pies, all perfect with enough to have seconds. The pie was accompanied by velvety, maple-vanilla, home-churned ice cream. These refreshments were superb and, while you can visit the Summer Gallery Show from now until Aug. 13 – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Mondays – you really missed out if you didn't make the social.

Vince Young Can't Get Any Playing Time, But He Can Still Sue
Former University of Texas star and could-have-been Texans quarterback Vince Young has filed a lawsuit against three Houston men for stealing the rights to his nicknames.
The men and their company, Three Friends, are accused of applying for trademarks on "VY" and "INVINCEABLE" in interest of making money, specifically in marketing "computer games, electronic games, video games, etc."
The trademark applications were apparently filed one day after the 2006 Rose Bowl, after Young played perhaps the best game of his college career.
The federal lawsuit says that Young first laid claim to the nickname VY during his "highly publicized career at Madison High School."

"The nickname "invinceable" and the abbreviated name "VY" became further known to identify [Young] during his highly publicized collegiate football career at the University of Texas," the lawsuit states.
It's not clear why the lawsuit is just now being filed, and Houston attorney Delphine James, who is representing Young, couldn't be reached for comment. Of course, Young does have quite a bit of time on his hands these days.

St. Louis County Library will celebrate Teen Tech Month in March with a variety of programs and activities at all 20 locations. Libraries and schools across the country will celebrate this year's theme, "Check In @ Your Library®." Teen Tech programming is a national initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults. Teen Tech Month encourages teens to use libraries' non-print resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.
SLCL's Teen Tech Month will include a diverse series of programs including: workshops on stop motion animation, search engine battles, laser tag, eMedia tutorials, tech related craft programs, book discussions and a Create a Meme contest.
Teen Tech programming is held annually in March. For more information about Teen Tech Month at SLCL, please call 314-994-3300 or visit www.slcl.org/teens/tech-month.
Program sites are accessible. Upon two weeks' notice, accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities. Contact St. Louis County Library by phone 314-994-3300 or visit www.slcl.org.
