The Letter the New York Times Didn't Print
The editors of the New York Times Magazine chose two weeks ago to publish a partisan, tendentious and extraordinarily selective piece of advocacy journalism about the village of Nabi Saleh. Located a few kilometers north of our home in Jerusalem, it's a place that holds significance for us since almost all the residents have the same surname: Tamimi.
One of the Tamimis is the person who engineered the massacre of women and children in which our much-loved child Malki was murdered at the age of fifteen in August 2001 at Jerusalem's Sbarro restaurant.
We published a response to that article on our blog. It evoked a response beyond anything else we have written before: many thousands of views here on our blog, and thousands more on several other magazines and blogs that cross-posted it on their sites.
The editors of the New York Times did not respond to it. Nor did they react to a letter that Frimet submitted to them ten days ago. Tomorrow's New York Times Magazine is now online, and with it the letters (3 of them) that the editors have chosen to publish. We assume they received many more. We're confident none would have spoken in the voice of a mother whose child was brutally killed by a woman from the village whose promoters revel in the use of the bogus descriptor "non-violent". It's the alleged non-violence of the village and its people that underpins the article's premise.
Here below is the letter Frimet submitted – and that was rejected at the New York Times. Please consider passing it along to your friends, particularly those friends who read the Times and fall victim to its highly selective presentation – over many years – of the realities of the conflict between the Arabs and Israel.
Jerusalem March 20, 2013 The Editors, NY Times
Ben Ehrenreich's article ["Is This Where the Third Intifada Will Start?"] is a brazen quest for confirmation of his preconceptions about the Palestinian Israeli conflict: politics blended with fantasy and embellished with every tear-jerking cliche in the book. Smiling, frolicking children; poetic "activists"; generous hostesses plying their delicacies at every turn. It is a bucolic scene that is frequently painted in anti-Israel publications. But how does the NY Times publish a piece that plays so fast and loose with fact and history?
Sadly, I am well-equipped to offer some corrections and details omitted by Ehrenreich.
Ahlam Tamimi, the villager whom Ehrenreich described as a woman who "escorted a suicide bomber", is in fact the self-confessed engineer and planner of a bloody terrorist attack. By her own account and after several scouting forays, Tamimi selected a target: the Sbarro restaurant in the heart of Jerusalem, on a hot August afternoon in 2001.
Tamimi has said she chose it because she knew it would be teeming at the appointed hour with women and children. She transported the bomb, enhanced with nails and bolts to maximize the carnage, from Ramallah across the Qalandia security checkpoint and into Israel's capital. Israeli soldiers still waived females through without inspection in those days.
Tamimi and her weapon, the bomber, both dressed in Western garb and chatting in English to appear as tourists, strolled through the city center. At the entrance to Sbarro, she briefed him on where and when to detonate, instructing that he wait 15 minutes to allow her a safe getaway. Fifteen men, women and children were murdered that afternoon. My teenage daughter Malki was among them. Ehrenreich, who writes warmly about Nabi Saleh's children, displays a cold detachment when relating to the bombing's victims, the youngest of whom was two years old: "Fifteen people were killed, eight of them minors."
Tamimi, on the other hand, has focused hard on the children. Filmed in an Israeli prison, she smiled broadly when an interviewer informed her that 8 children were murdered, and not merely the 3 she had known about. Since her release in the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal, Tamimi has repeatedly and publicly boasted of her deed, adding: "I have no regrets. I would do it again."
Tamimi has always lived in Amman, other than two years in Nabi Saleh while attending university. Israel 'exiled' (to adopt Ehrenreich's term) her to Jordan where her father and brothers reside. Since her release she married another Tamimi, also a convicted murderer freed in the Shalit deal. He too is a home-town hero in Nabi Saleh. The host of her own weekly show on Hamas TV, she travels freely throughout the Arab world to address her many fans, accepting accolades and trophies while urging others to follow in her footsteps.
For a mother to bury her loving, gentle child is torture. To watch the murderer walk triumphantly free and enjoy life rubs salt into that wound every day. But to see the NY Times gloss over this travesty of justice with a cover story that showcases this woman's many admirers in Nabi Saleh – that is journalism of the most amoral sort. You ought to be ashamed of it.
Frimet Roth – Jerusalem
Visit This Ongoing War.Frimet and Arnold Roth
About the Author: Frimet and Arnold Roth began writing and speaking publicly soon after the murder of their fifteen year-old daughter Malki Z"L in the Jerusalem Sbarro massacre, August 9, 2001 (Chaf Av, 5761). They have both been, and are, frequently interviewed for radio, television and the print media, including CNN, BBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Al-Jazeera, and others. Their blog This Ongoing War deals with the under-appreciated price of living in a society afflicted by terrorism which, they contend, means the entire world. Frimet is a native of Queens, NY while her husband was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. They brought their family to settle in Jerusalem in 1988. They co-founded the Malki Foundation in 2001 and are deeply involved in its work as volunteers.

Israel should of declared war on the PA years ago, however the Knesset is filled w worthless cowards who are afraid to fight, always has been and probably always will be.
What do you expect from the NY Times, they are owned by Arab money. As are most of the media. Their jobs are on the line if they print the truth. The TV news channels such as C N N, AND OTHERS.
Frimet and Arnold Roth thank you for all the work you do on behalf your murdered daughter by these terrorist Arabs.
To those who say Kahane wasn't right.
No Arabs = No Terror.
Let me quote from the article.
Tamimi, on the other hand, has focused hard on the children. Filmed in an Israeli prison, she smiled broadly when an interviewer informed her that 8 children were murdered, and not merely the 3 she had known about. Since her release in the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal, Tamimi has repeatedly and publicly boasted of her deed, adding: "I have no regrets. I would do it again.".
Exactly what I would expect from the NY Times.

Veterans with Disabilities in Higher Education
The focus of this SIG is Veterans with Disabilities in Higher Education.
Veterans with disabilities are recognized individuals with a great capacity to help others. Ensuring their unique life experiences are valued in higher education and societal environments demonstrates the vision of AHEAD to embody equality of opportunity. While veterans with disabilities may seem to be primarily an American phenomenon, the lessons on helping individuals with acquired brain injuries, mobility issues, and psychological challenges provide guidance from improved practice in moving all individuals with disabilities toward full participation in postsecondary education around the world.
The purpose of this SIG is to bring awareness of the unique skills and knowledge required to work effectively with veterans with disabilities in higher education. This SIG will provide a forum for discussion of current issues and a network/clearing house/liaison for AHEAD members on veterans' issues. Also, this SIG will sponsor and promote scholarly research about student veterans with disabilities and conduct outreach activities to other professional organizations working with veterans with disabilities in higher education.
The SIG's commitment to research, dissemination of knowledge and discussion of issues and challenges of veterans with disabilities are in keeping with AHEAD's values. These values view disability as the interaction between the person and environment, promotes diversity, is equitable, demands inclusivity and provides an organization strength that sustains essential resources and supports growth.

Publication reviews
Service Members in School – Military Veterans' Experiences Using the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Pursuing Postsecondary Education, published November 2010 by RAND Corporation with support from Lumina Foundation for Education, for the American Council on Education (ACE). This national study was conducted within a year of the onset of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Researchers used mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) to compile data extracted from focus groups, surveys, and personal interviews. Participants were active military, student veterans, and dependents enrolled in 2-year, 4-year, public and private institutions (including non-profit and for-profit). The publication is an interesting read and provides a wealth of information on student experiences in using the GI Bill, transferring military credits, and adapting to life on campus – what works, what doesn't work, and why. Insight is shed on existing barriers to educational success, why some veterans have chosen not to access their educational benefits, and the resulting impact of the Post-9/11 GI Bill on educational institutions.
According to the study, the availability of the Post-9/11 GI Bill has been a driving force in enrollment decisions by military affiliated students to further their education. When it comes to choosing an institution, however, a majority of the respondents noted the opportunity to transfer military credits is not a factor. Instead, "degree program offerings, reputation, geographic proximity, familiarity and institutional emphasis on adult learners" are the highest priorities. While more than 50% of the respondents attempted to transfer military credits about half of those reported being able to do so, noting complaints of inconsistent institutional policies for transferring such credits.
Despite the benefits, the publication highlights numerous challenges to using the GI Bill - such as late payments for tuition and living allowance; debt notices for tuition overpayments; lack of a statement or accounting system that indicates benefit status/history for charges, payments, etc.; and barriers to understanding educational benefits and options. Reported campus challenges include: difficulties in meeting academic expectations; balancing academic requirements with other obligations (i.e. work, family, etc.); an inability to relate to non-veteran peers on campus; and navigating postsecondary education with service-connected injuries.
When adapting to life on campus, the study further notes, the greatest area of support comes from fellow student veterans. A majority of respondents (67%) indicated professors were another valuable resource and "quite helpful or extremely helpful." Also, service members reported their military experience as a strength in providing "the focus…discipline, and drive…needed to succeed academically."
Report findings provide insight to what is needed and result in comprehensive and valuable recommendations. Information gleaned will assist in developing smoother operations by Veterans Affairs (VA) and postsecondary educational institutions to provide effective services to individuals using the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Hitting the gym before you eat may seem like conventional wisdom, but should you try to deliberately go to the gym on an empty stomach in order to burn more fat?
The idea, advocated in popular fitness books for decades, is that exercising on an empty stomach forces the body to dip into fat stores instead of burning the carbohydrates quickly available from a pre-workout snack or meal. Seems to make sense, doesn't it? In actuality, research shows that working out in this way offers no additional bodily benefit, and may actually stunt your workout and affect your weight loss efforts.
After years of studying and research, a report from the Strength and Conditioning Journal concluded that you burn the same amount of fat regardless of any pre-workout carbohydrates. On the contrary, you are likely to lose muscle by exercising in a depleted state. Also, without fuel to exercise, intensity and overall calories burned will be reduced.
When working out on an empty stomach, up to 10 percent of your calories burned can come from protein. This includes muscle loss. Also, separate studies show that if you consume as little as 45 grams of carbohydrates prior to working out, you will consume later throughout the day. This can lead to over-eating, which can contribute to weight gain. Consuming a little bit before working out instead of trying to work out on an empty stomach seems to be a win-win situation!
If you want to burn more fat and less carbohydrates, try changing up what you do in the gym instead of when you eat. Doing a cardio workout for a longer time at a lower intensity burns more fat. Working out at a high intensity for a short amount of time will burn more carbohydrates. Try ditching the sprints for a long, slow jog in order to shed some pounds. Just remember not to be too low on energy, or your weight loss workout will suffer overall.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 8, 2011) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Matt Fuerbringer and Nick Lucena has advanced to the semifinals of the Morocco Open, the final men's event on the FIVB Swatch World Tour 2011.
Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.), ranked 11th, will face Germany's top-seeded Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann in Sunday's first semifinal. The winner will pay the winner of the second semifinal between Netherlands' 15th-ranked Reinder Nummerdor and Richard Schuil and Brazil's 17th-seeded Pedro Salgado and Rhooney Ferramenta.
Fuerbringer and Lucena opened play on Saturday with a fourth-round loss to Nummerdor and Schuil, 16-21, 22-20, 15-8) in 1 hour, 1 minute. They came back in consolation to defeat Brazil's Marcio Araujo and Benjamin Insfran, 20-22, 21-15, 15-12 to reach the semifinals.
The U.S. team of 23rd-ranked Casey Jennings (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Kevin Wong (Honolulu, Hawaii) finished the tournament tied for seventh on Saturday after falling to Salgado and Ferramenta, 21-19, 21-16 in 43 minutes. Ironically, Salgado played with Jennings on Sept. 24-25 to win the Hermosa Beach Open, the final event of the 2011 Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Series. Wong was one of the television commentators for the men's final match.
It is the first time ever that the FIVB Swatch World Tour stops in Morocco. The north-African country did host three challengers earlier, in Casablanca in 2004, 2005 and 2006. South Africa is the only other African nation who hosted World Tour events – in 1995, 2004 and 2005 in Cape Town and in Durban in 1996.
The $190,000 single-gender Morocco Open is the 14th and final men's event of the 2011 FIVB Swatch World Tour. The women finish next month with their 16th event in Phuket, Thailand.

Paul McCartney performed last weekend on "Saturday Night Live" and there's been some chat about how he looked and sounded.
He's 68 years old... and we all know age does things to your body.
But after this show, some people are saying McCartney is too old to be doing this. We talked about it live with Neil Steinberg of the Sun-Times.

Two sides on Fredonia vote
By MARC RUCKMAN
Having been a village trustee for only two years, I continue to be amazed at the time it takes to resolve situations.
For instance, a resolution was passed last summer about treated village water running off Route 83 for three years. After buying gravel to fix areas washed away and contacting village officials repeatedly, the homeowner said, "You know what? They wear you down so I just gave up." The water is still running despite some attempts to fix the problem.
When a question was raised over liability concerns that could impact the village financially, the vague "solution" had something to do with a long-term friendship between a village official and the person alleged to be in violation of village laws.
A resident who feels he has been unduly harassed by building inspectors asks why on village time, a building inspector is called off a job to do a personal inspection on a house that a family member of a village employee was considering buying.
Executive sessions, by law, are reserved for specific discussions that sometimes appear to be called to avoid public or press scrutiny. Trustees have even been asked to stay after the press has gone to find out where they stand on an issue. Transparency should be a given at all levels of government.
Selective code enforcement remains an issue. Property owners, trustees and even Planning Board officers who ask questions or voice concerns about buildings on Canadaway Street, Clinton Avenue, first floor apartments on Main Street and road repair work on Orchard Street should not expect to receive next-day citations for high grass (again, selective) and/or inspection of their rental properties. They should also expect the official being questioned to respond without "anger, insult, or refusal to participate" in a meeting.
Despite my role as a trustee, I have been denied answers to questions by constituents. Village officials should be accountable to board members. I have been questioned about conflicts of interest when a building inspector for a nearby municipality does extensive work on Fredonia properties before obtaining a building permit or being reviewed by the Planning Board. I have also been questioned about conflict of interest when the village attorney represents the village building inspector on purchasing property inside the village.
Finally, I will be questioned about my motives in writing this letter. My answer: A village election will be Monday and people should know they have a right to ask questions. A few months after my own election as a trustee, I tried asking some of these questions. From being told (perhaps in a joking way) to "behave" by the village attorney, to hearing on a speaker phone in the village administrator's office that "I am a problem" to being taken to court because I won't let a building inspector who, in front of a witness in Village Hall, threatened to "punch me in the face," inspect my property. I have essentially been told, don't rock the boat. I have always been in compliance with village inspections and agreed to inspection by someone outside the village.
We have a great village that deserves public officials who operate openly and fairly. Constituents always have a right to question situations and decisions without worrying about consequences. New ideas, new people, and new solutions should always be welcome.
It has been a difficult two years as your trustee. With your help new board members can assist me in making the changes needed to move forward. I trust Mike Vinciguerra and Mary Jane Starks will offer the most for our progress.
Marc Ruckman is a Fredonia village trustee.

Those were all great comments, and I guess I have to admit that it may be called by several names. But those are not the names that I know of. And to clear, it's the "valley" part of the picture that is what I"m playing with....not the rock....so...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... on second thought someone could be right! So congrats...
The valley/hole/hold part of this has not been 'used' for what it was used for in many years. (That I know of)
Those of you into Idaho/Horse type history may guess this easier.
Tracy, yeah, I'd have taken a picture and it would have been good....I have photo shop, could have blasted it like it was done I suppose... heeeheee
Thanks for comments and for playing.

And JTrotter, I agree about Bruneau canyon and other places that some think is just "flat barren desert" land. The things I"ve seen out there take my breath away. I've been lucky enough to see some incredible sites, Indian Writings... Notes written on large rocks by what I assume were pioneers hundreds of years ago....
colorful snakes and spiders... horny toads ...etc...
Yep, I carry a camera for those things.
Can you believe this year I had a goal of seeing a wolf.... And then I did see one ... close enough to see his eyes... He was GORGEOUS.... (2 actually)My heart was pounding I was so excited. Of all days to forget my camera.

sallylittle. Really? Have you no shame? Give it a rest already. Your posts make you out to be nuts. This is not the correct forum for these interactions and they are offensive. If your friend's husband left her for another woman...she is probably better off without him. Now please, give it a rest. Send an email. None of us want to read this crap. You should be ashamed of yourself sallylittle. Enough already.

This is called "Devil's Corral" Where old times used to corral wild horses. Can't you just picture it?
-- Posted by jessiemiller on Fri, Jan 22, 2010, at 12:26 PM
Hmmmm. Pretty cool. Great picture. I can just see the wild horses now!
Jessie, different topic (sorry). Did you hear about the horses in Oregon? The Humane Society went to a "training" facility and found 116 horses in some of the worst condition the officers had ever seen. 31 were taken because that was all the space they had at the time. If you google horses seized in Oregon (around mid-January) it will bring it up. Not pretty. They are looking for foster homes if they can get them healthy:) A project for Wayne!

Hi All,
Sam Cooke's Summertime does it for me but then I like almost anything by Sam Cooke.
Books. I am a simple kind of reader. I like Hercule Piorot, Miss Marple, Midnight Louie, Mrs. Murphy Mysteries, Sherlock Holmes (which isn't so simple) and Mrs. Jefferies Mysteries. Let's face it, I like mysteries. Although I have a slew of books about The Beatles and about Paul McCartney.
I have all the Lovejoy mysteries, all the Cat Who . . mysteries, all the Brother Cadfael mysteries. I have all the re issued Hard cover Hardy Boys mysteries, which I never read as a teen as I was into Native American torture techiques and into Greek and Roman mythology.

Re: The Numbers Don't Lie--GOP Obstruction Efforts Unprecedented in Senate
If it has seemed that Republican Senators have been expending tremendous amounts of energy for the sole purpose of slowing down the work of the Senate and the President's reform agenda, that's because they have.
A review of cloture attempts in past sessions of Congress reveals that Republican senators have gone to record lengths to use Senate rules with the goal of slowing down the work of Congress, often when they have no expectation of stopping legislation or even winning concessions.
So far, GOP foot dragging has forced the Senate leadership to file 67 cloture petitions and forced cloture votes on 38 occasions [1] . Those numbers, while high, aren't yet on pace to break the record set by the GOP in the last Congress of 139 motions filed and 112 forced votes. But what is remarkable is that, of those 38 votes forced this year, cloture was invoked 34 times.
That means a full 89% of the time, the cloture vote did nothing but delay the inevitable—a huge increase from the previous high of 63%.
Moreover many of these attempts to block cloture didn't just fail, they failed by such significant margins that no one, especially not an experienced vote counter like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, could possibly have expected to prevail. In fact, in a majority of cases, 65 or more Senators voted to cut off debate. In several cases the number reached into the seventies and eighties, and in one case 97 Senators voted in favor of cloture, but not before the maneuver chewed up valuable time.
Far from being a meaningless exercise, this effort to force unnecessary cloture votes has wasted an enormous amount of time. After cloture is filed it takes up to two days before Senate rules allow a vote on the petition. Then, Senate rules permit the Republicans to insist on an additional 30 hours of post-cloture debate. That means even when only a small minority of Senators actually oppose cloture, they have the ability to chew up days of the Senate's time.
In 2010, the Senate will likely consider legislation addressing health care, global warming, the economy, immigration, and workers' rights in addition to its obligation to confirm Supreme Court Justices, members of the federal bench and crucial administration officials. There's plenty of work to be done, and time is already tight without needless intentional delay.
The Republican Senators should stop trying to grind the Senate to a halt and start working on the issues that Americans elected them to address.

As of Sunday 7 August, the ANZ Championship's communication channels will no longer be active.
To some, it was a no-brainer. For others the ANZ Championship was a nervous expedition into the unknown, towards a destination very few could imagine.
It was a big day for the Queensland Firebirds and NSW Swifts. See how the #ANZCGF unfolded on Twitter.
The Coffee Club Queensland Firebirds and NSW Swifts once again had fans on the edge of their seats, taking the ANZ Championship Grand Final into extended extra time.

Bought few months back. Stunning Stunning pot.
So reason for sale? I had originally planned to have two high end pots one for a tea station upstairs and one downstairs in the kitchen. However after the novelty wore off I haven't used the one upstairs. Since I got my Hokujo Teapot this one has sat idle for the last 6 weeks. No good reason as I love both equally however I just don't need both or use both.
Its in perfect condition, handled with OCD care. Had around 500grams of organic sencha brewed in it. Filter on it is flawless and incredibly fine and just the overall pot is as good as it gets! Makes superb sencha, very smooth and tasty.
Comes fully boxed (blue cardboard, maker info etc.)
Bought from artisticnippon for £115 shipped.
I would like £60 shipped UK & International

Case Study: Kaut-Bullinger
Kaut-Bullinger Unifies Customer Data On SugarCRM Platform And Increases Sales and Service Efficiency
Business Issue
With 190,000 customers spanning business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets, Kaut-Bullinger struggled to achieve a unified platform to support user interactions with customer information. Instead its sales teams were forced to pull some information from the company's ERP and business intelligence applications, while other important data was kept in Excel spreadsheets. Without centralized access, staff spent too much time searching for information that resided in multiple locations.
- Provide a broad view of customer activity and sales performance
- Aggregate sales and customer data in one location
- Streamline workflow for employees
- Optimize interaction with customers
The Solution: Sugar Professional
In 2010, Kaut-Bullinger began evaluating CRM solutions. From an initial list of 11 vendors, including SugarCRM, the company settled on three that were asked to present: Sugar, Sage CRM, and Adito. The company selected Sugar, preferring its open source architecture, ease of customization, and simplicity of integration with Open-Xchange collaboration software. It also engaged Sugar partner KINAMU, which developed a three-phase plan for implementation.
Business Benefits
- Delivered a single point of access to all customer information for nearly 200 employees
- Increased efficiency for the B2B sales team through Sugar's mobile capabilities
- Enabled more face-to-face interaction with customers
- Incorporated inbound and outbound calling through the Sugar-Siemens telephony integration

Congress doesn't exactly deserve three cheers
Don't confuse a collective sigh of relief for enthusiasm and optimism for the future of our economy in the wake of Congress finally passing legislation that steered us clear of the 'fiscal cliff."
Let's not forget, we did go over the cliff, we just didn't crash and burn.
Most pundits will say this could be a very rocky year in Washington with a new Congress coming in. If you're one of those people who look for silver linings, you can tell yourself that maybe it will be good to get some new blood at the Capitol.
More than likely, however, we're in for the same, old routine when it comes to politicians dealing with the debt ceiling.
Already late Tuesday, both sides were blaming the other for the drawn-out process that led to a deal being made. Representatives of both parties said this is an issue that could've been taken care of before Christmas.
Really? Then why wasn't it? That would've been quite a Christmas present for everyone. Instead, we were left holding our breath into the new year as we listened to politicians talk about the deal's many flaws so many, in fact, that for once none were even willing to take credit for saving the day. Many politicians wanted nothing to do with the bill but felt compelled to back it for fear of the "cliff" repercussions.
There has been plenty of political face-saving going on in the last few weeks and there will no doubt be more to come, and while members of Congress were able to compromise to get the deal to go through, we wonder what their motives were. Were they compromising because it was the right thing to do or because the alternative was so devastating they felt they had no choice, grinned and beared it and essentially voted against their will just to keep themselves from looking any worse than they already did.
In any event, we're still in the sigh-of-relief stage, but keep a close eye on what our elected officials do and say in the next two months. More than likely, it will get ugly again. So re-cross your fingers that Congress will be able to build off that compromise they were able to forge in the last few days. If you think things have been interesting lately, chances are you ain't seen nothin' yet.

VARO – Indian Praline with Mixed Dry fruits
Srivalli challenged us to make VARO for this months ICC. We were given two recipes and i chose to follow this recipe from Simply Sindhi Recipes.This reminded me of the peanut chikki which my mother would make:-)
The original recipe is here
Mixed nuts( Almonds, Pistachios, Cashew) 1 Cup
Sugar 1 Cup
Khus Khus 2 tbsp
Ghee 1 tbsp
Cardamom few
Slice the mixed nuts
Powder the cardamom finely
In a heavy bottom pan add the sugar and ghee. Keep the flame at low and let the sugar melt
When the sugar has melted fully and caramelized to a light brown colour, add the nuts and the powdered cardamom
Switch off the flame and mix it thouroughly so that the caramel coats all the nuts evenly
Pour this mixture onto a greased rolling board and pat it flat with the back of the ladle or a rolling pin
When it is completely cool, break into pieces.
( I made slight marks with the knife when it was still warm, and i was able to cut into almost even pieces:-)
Thank you SRIVALLI and Simply sindhi recipes for such a wonderful challenge and recipe

In an age where words like "courage" and "bravery" are often tossed about casually, a new book captures the immense heroism and resolve of 11 American POWs during the war in Vietnam. Alvin Townley closes his new book Defiant with these words, "Together, they overcame more intense hardship over more years than any other group of servicemen and families in American history. We should not forget." Townley easily makes that case by telling their stories and expanding on previous accounts by including the battle many of their wives waged to draw attention to their plight back home.
Defiant focuses on the Alcatraz 11, captured servicemen who were isolated by the communist North Vietnamese in a prison they nicknamed "Alcatraz." Like many early POWs, these men were tortured. But they faced unimaginable cruelty with steely resistance. Before they were moved to Alcatraz, they were all pivotal leaders at Hoa Lo Prison, reinforcing the Code of Conduct and communicating through the tap code. At a staged propaganda news conference in 1966, Naval pilot Jeremiah Denton was able to blink out in Morse Code the letters T-O-R-T-U-R-E, allowing the American government to know for the first time the horrific conditions inside the prison. The aviators were beaten with fan belts, kept in stocks and leg irons, tortured with medieval rope devices, and locked away in isolation for years. In his book, When Hell Was in Session, Denton proclaimed, "We can add our testimony to that of great heroes like Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov, who have vividly related what Communism is really about."
Townley's book does a masterful job of weaving the stories of these men together to portray how their courage and resistance exemplified, to the highest degree, the principles of freedom. James B. Stockdale, the senior officer of the 11, like other tortured prisoners, was permanently crippled by his captors. His defiance continually inspired those imprisoned with him. Stockdale quoted Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim about the men under his command, "A certain readiness to perish is not so very rare, but it is seldom that you meet men whose souls, steeled in the impenetrable armour of resolution, are ready to fight a losing battle to the last."

Avalon Organics, Lavender Ultimate Moisture Cream, For Sensitive Skin - works great for me. I put it on at night before going to bed. It has a pleasant scent & the texture is light & rubs right into the skin. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy, & my skin looks real nice in the morning. The pricing of this product through iHerb.com is absolutely the best I have found, including the shipping. I have saved A LOT of money going through this company & not buying in the store.
Posted by shekibosja on Jun 04, 2011
At first I thought that the smell is too strong for the cream. But on the face I did not feel it. Good moisturizer. For summer it's a little heavy. Reduce the redness and peeling on my dry skin.
Wonderful Product.

Un aroma muy agradable, como un doble placer para tu piel: nutres tu piel y al vez es como aromaterapia a lavanda, aroma suave y sutil. Me gustan mucho los productos AVALON. Seguiré comprando !!!!!! Saludos desde Santiago, Chile.
Deeply Moisturizing, But Not Too Heavy
Posted by 5443199932424665363 on Jun 27, 2012
I ordered this night cream because I needed a deep moisture that renewed my skin and made it feel supple in the morning. I'm currently on a very small dose of Accutane, which is a tremendously drying medication. I was worried that a scented night cream would irritate my sensitive skin and clog my pores, but it doesn't. It feels and smells lovely. When I put it on after I was my face, it almost tingles a bit. When it settles into my skin, though, it feels smooth and not too greasy. Sometimes I even use a tiny bit under my makeup during the day. Excellent cream. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants deep moisture at night.
Wonderful product!
Posted by Reviewer1061865 on May 11, 2010
I have been very pleased with this moisture cream and have been using it daily since it arrived. My skin feels wonderful! The only complaint I would have is not with the product, but with its packaging. The jar is not "sealed" tightly with an inner seal, and some of the cream was able to leak out of the jar during transit. Otherwise I am completely satisfied.
great cream
Posted by Reviewer3134972 on Feb 22, 2011

SCSU Now
Mobile website launched
Tuesday, April 5, 2011
St. Cloud State University's new mobile website is a collection of tools and information re-purposed for smart phones and other wireless mobile devices.
Simpler, faster and formatted for smaller screens, m.stcloudstate.edu targets the 50,000 mobile-device users that visit the university's traditional stcloudstate.edu website each month.
The site offers campus maps, news stories, events, Husky Athletics scores and Google-based search of the stcloudstate.edu website.
"Our expectation is that mobile-device users will switch to the mobile site for fast access to information," said Jeff Wood, director of web communications.
"In the near term, our stcloudstate.edu website will remain the flagship provider of university news and information," said Loren Boone, assistant vice president of marketing and communications. "Down the road, we may see the lines between mobile and traditional websites blur in the same way tablet devices have blurred the lines between hand-held and desktop computers."
St. Cloud State is among the 5 percent of American colleges and universities that have mobile websites, according to Boone.
Dave Olsen, publisher of the Mobile in Higher Ed website, says more than 160 American colleges and universities have mobile websites. Olsen is a programmer/project manager at West Virginia University in Morgantown.
The U.S. has nearly 3,000 four-year colleges and universities, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a federal agency in the Department of Education.
The mobile site is part of a larger mobile-communication effort that began in February with the launch of the St. Cloud State University Tour application. The free application is available on devices using the iOS 4.0 and newer operating system and the Android 1.5 and newer operating system.
In February 2011, more than 90 percent of the mobile visitors to stcloudstate.edu used devices running Apple's iOs or Google's Android operating systems.
The tour application delivers interactive maps linked to videos. The videos are streamed, which saves hard-drive space.
m.stcloudstate.edu is developed by staff at Learning Resources & Technology Services, located in the James W. Miller Learning Resources Center.
The Office of Admissions collaborated with BarZ Adventures Inc., Austin, Texas, to create the St. Cloud State University Tour.

Casas Colgadas de Cuenca
Semana Santa de Cuenca
Bajada de San Miguel. Cuenca
- 自治区: Castile-La Mancha
- 省 / 岛: Cuenca
It is located in the interior of Spain, in the northeast of the Castile-La Mancha region. The capital of the province is the city of Cuenca, where the historical fortified town has been awarded the World Heritage designation by the UNESCO. This is the setting for the Religious Music Festival, held during Easter week and declared a festival of International Tourist Interest. The province has widely contrasting landscapes, with everything from the typical plains associated with La Mancha, to the most mountainous scenery in the whole of the Castile–La Mancha region. This can clearly be seen in the areas of the Alcarria Conquense, La Mancha, la Manchuela and La Serranía. It also has a nature reserve. Cuenca has some of the oldest examples of cave art in Spain, part of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula, and which have been awarded the World Heritage designation by the UNESCO.

Jaime Hernandez:
The 1963-P Lincoln cent is very common in circulated condition all the way up to MS63 grade. Many examples can still be easily found in circulation. For examples grading MS64 and higher they usually come from rolls or mint sets. In MS65 condition they are still easily available without paying any large premium and probably can be purchased raw for under $1. In MS66 condition they are now scarce with probably less than 1,500 coins in existence in this grade or higher. In MS67 condition they are very difficult to come by and only a few have been discovered in this grade. Probably no more than a dozen examples exist in MS67 condition and there are probably no MS68's or higher that exist.

- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 (14-1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Cut steak into serving-size pieces. Season, to taste, with garlic powder and salt and pepper. Dust meat with flour. In heavy skillet, brown both sides of meat in vegetable oil. Transfer to Dutch oven. Combine garlic, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and 1 tomato-can measure of water.

When undergoing joint replacement selecting physician specialists is an important decision to make. When selecting a team of physician and care team to guide you from joint replacement to recovery it is important to look for specialists and a care team who are highly trained in their fields. The comprehensive teams of joint replacement experts at MemorialCare Joint Replacement Centers located in Orange County and Los Angeles County are devoted to promoting a successful joint replacement recovery.
Why are there so many different joint replacement specialists?
Joint replacement can be treated effectively with a team of surgeons, physician assistants, coordinators, rehabilitation coaches, pain management team, physician therapists, and occupational therapists, who are trained in their area of expertise.
What does each joint replacement specialist do?
From diagnosis and treatment to education and recovery, a dedicated joint replacement care team provides comprehensive care. Working together with you and your "coach" throughout the process, the joint replacement care team supports you as you start your road to recovery.
Joint Replacement Board Certified Physicians
- Orthopedic Surgeon - Our leading orthopedic surgeons are dedicated to relieving your joint pain and restoring mobility and quality of life. Your orthopedic surgeon determines if you are a candidate for joint replacement. If you are, your surgeon ensures all your pre-op preparations are completed and performs the joint replacement procedure to repair your joint.
Joint Replacement Care Team
In addition to orthopedic surgeons, other medical professionals that may be involved in your joint replacement treatment and recovery process, including:
- Registered Nurse (RN) - For your care and comfort post-surgery, a registered nurse with experience with joint replacement patients ensures directions given by your surgeon are completed, including administering medications and monitoring your vital signs.
- Joint Care Coordinator - The joint care coordinator guides you through the joint replacement process, partnering with you every step of the way on your journey to wellness. The joint care coordinator answers questions and coordinates your hospital care with the other joint replacement care team members. The joint replacement coordinator acts as your personal "nurse navigator" helping you through every step of your journey.
- Nurse Care Manager - The nurse care manager meets with you during your hospital stay to review your discharge plan. In addition, the nurse care manager assists you with your post hospital care needs and equipment needs, and is your liaison to your insurance company.
- Rehab Coaches - You are encouraged to identify a loved one as your joint replacement "rehab coach" to support and encourage you as they take their first steps towards an active lifestyle, providing support and promoting joint replacement recovery.
- Group Therapy Team - Our family centered care approach focuses on group activities, physical therapy, meals, and support as the foundation of healing and recovery. The joint replacement group therapy sessions are led by the physical therapy department and rehab coaches.
- Pain Management Team - A pain management program in which pain relief is specific to your needs and begins even before the joint replacement surgery starts to ensure you are as comfortable as possible at each step of your joint replacement surgery.
- Physical Therapist (PT) - The physical therapist works with you on your functional mobility skills and teaches you exercises designed for strength and motion. For example, the physical therapist shows you how to walk with assistive devices and up and down stairs within the first 24-48 hours.
- Occupational Therapist (OT) - The occupational therapist shows you how to perform daily tasks such as bathing and dressing. The occupational therapist may demonstrate how to use special equipment used in your home after your joint replacement surgery, including shower/tub benches, grab bars and raised toilet seats.
How to find a joint replacement specialist
Orthopedic surgeons may also be found in our Find a Doctor physician's directory. Talking to your primary care physician and asking them for a referral to an orthopedic surgeon is a good first step to seek joint replacement treatment and recovery at a MemorialCare Joint Replacement Center.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. "
Haute Cuisine: Naan
The Dish: Naan
Naan is tough to find on most aircraft caterers' menus. A soft bread that is traditionally baked on the side of a clay tandoor oven, it typically consists of just white flour, yeast, oil, salt, sugar and yogurt. While most of the Western world associates naan with Indian cuisine, it is a staple in many surrounding countries, including Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It is often brushed with butter to accompany an entrée, but is also sometimes stuffed with yogurt and lamb or mixtures of nuts and raisins. In Burma, it is a popular breakfast treat, served with tea or coffee. What makes it so tasty? Who cares? Eat. Enjoy.
The Caterer: Skyway Catering Service, Toronto, (905) 677-2526, www.skywaycatering.com.
Does Skyway's menu include naan? Ha! With owners from a family named Singh, that goes without saying.
But the menu isn't exactly limited to Indian cuisine; on the contrary, it's as varied as you'd expect from a caterer based in Toronto, a city of incredibly diverse ethnic mélange. In addition to the ubiquitous filet mignon and lobster tail, you'll find entrées from Central, Southeast and Northeast Asia as well as from East India. Under appetizers, the list includes calamari, guacamole, Jamaican patties, pierogies and samosas. And even the dessert menu has an international flavor, with such options as baklava, tiramisu and the uniquely Canadian nanairno bar.

Pasture and grazing managment workshop
PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (Sept. 10, 2012) – A workshop for livestock and horse owners explores new concepts in pasture and grazing management at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore on Sat., Sept. 29, from 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The morning session involves a lecture in the Food Science and Technology Building, while the afternoon session provides hands-on experiences on the UMES farm. Dr. Don Ball, Extension agronomist and professor emeritus at Auburn University, is the keynote speaker.
Ball is a native of Owensboro, Ky., where he grew up on a farm. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Western Kentucky University and Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Auburn University. From 1976-2011, he worked as a forage crop agronomist for Extension at Auburn. Over the course of his career, he has authored two books, "Southern Forages" and "Practical Forage Concepts," as well as numerous other articles and publications. He is a former president of the American Forage and Grassland Council (AFGC) and is technical advisor to all four Oregon Forage Seed Commissions. Among his many awards and accolades are the following: the USDA Superior Service Award, the AFGC Medallion Award, and fellowships in both the American Society of Agronomy and the Crop Science Society of America. In 2001, he was inducted into the Western Kentucky University Hall of Distinguished Alumni.
Workshop presenters include the following Extension professionals: Dr. Nelson Escobar, small ruminant production and management Extension specialist, UMES; Dr. Amy Burk, Extension equine specialist, University of Maryland; Michael Hall, grazing lands specialist, NRCS East National Technology Support Center, Greensboro, NC; and Michael Sigrist, farm management specialist, UMES.
Workshop topics will focus on year-round rotational grazing for livestock and horses and utilizing tall fescue and Bermudagrass in conjunction with sericea lespedeza, which shows promise for managing intestinal parasite burdens in sheep and goats. Bermudagrass, while new to this area, is a warm-season grass particularly well suited to the climatic conditions and soils of the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Sessions include: Grazing Behavior of Sheep, Goats, Camelids, Bovines and Equine; Bermudagrass: An Answer for Summer Forage Production and Cover for Heavy Use Areas; Extending Grazing and Reducing Stored Feed Needs; Sericea Lespedeza: A Pasture, Hay and Conservation Plant; and an overview of the year-round rotational grazing demonstration project being conducted at UMES. A field tour of the rotational grazing project site will round out the day.
For more information about the New Concepts in Pasture and Grazing Management for Livestock and Horse Owners Workshop, contact Kayla Parmar at 410-651-6070 or by email at email@example.com. To register, visit www.umes.edu/1890-mce. The registration fee, which includes educational materials and lunch, is $15 per person. Workshop sponsors include University of Maryland Extension, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Small Farm Outreach Program and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.

NHL Needs to Dump their Playoff Proposal and Take Mine
I'm not a traditional hockey guy. Might have been at one time, but someone took my hockey team away. I came back during the shootout era and do enjoy it.
Now that the NHL wants to re-align divisions or conferences to match geography and time zones (imagine that!), they absolutely NEED to carry this format into the playoffs. You don't have teams battling each other four times a year so they can play a team halfway across the country when it matters. Hell no.
So I'm going to combine those two philosophies into my ideal playoff format AKA the NHL is nuts if they don't adopt it.
1. Teams and conferences remain the same as the current proposal (per Pierre LeBrun):
Atlantic: CAR - CBJ - NJD - NYI - NYR - PHI - PIT - WSH
Central: BOS - BUF - DET - FLA - MTL - OTT - TBL - TOR
Midwest: CHI - COL - DAL - MIN - NSH - STL - WPG
Pacific: ANA - CGY - EDM - LAK - PHX - SJS - VAN
2. Top three teams in each division are guaranteed a playoff spot.
3. The fourth and fifth teams in each division have a one-game playoff for the divisional wildcard playoff spot.
4. First and second rounds are held within the division, i.e. 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3.
5. First round is best-of-five.
6. Everything else is the same as the current format.
Honestly, why bother with divisions if you don't carry over to the playoffs? The conference wildcard is ridiculous. We move everything around and then you could have Vancouver vs Dallas? Come on.
Probably the second most controversial idea us the one-game playoff for the final spot. Sure you can argue against it (regular season is meaningless! it's always been eight teams!), but look at the re-drawn matchups below and tell me you wouldn't love to see it. Just like you secretly love the shootout.
Finally, why best-of-five? It takes sixteen wins, not fifteen! It ruins the tradition! Well, it used to be two playoff rounds, best-of-seven. They also used to play 50 games a season. Today you can play up to 116 games including pre-season if you go to game sevens. Losing one or two isn't going to hurt anyone and will help end the playoffs in May.
Now, on to the fun part. I've taken the standings of each season post-lockout and used the new divisions to draw up some matchups. Take a look:
Carolina - (NY Rangers/NY Islanders)
New Jersey - Philadelphia
Detroit - (Montreal/Tampa Bay)
Ottawa - Buffalo
Dallas - (Winnipeg/Minnesota)
Nashville - Colorado
Calgary - (Edmonton/Vancouver)
San Jose - Anaheim
Okay, let's just top here. I love it. One game playoffs between Rags and Isles, Jets and Wild, Eddy and Vanny? Yes! And then you have a nice Cali battle too.
New Jersey - (NY Islanders/Carolina)
Pittsburgh - NY Rangers
Detroit - (Tampa Bay/Toronto)
Buffalo - Ottawa
Nashville - (Winnipeg/Colorado)
Dallas - Minnesota
Anaheim - (Calgary/Edmonton)
San Jose - Vancouver
Good things here. Pens vs Rags and a Buffalo vs Ottawa rematch. And then you have Dallas vs Minnesota first round? San Jose - Vancouver? Yes!
Pittsburgh - (Philadelphia/Washington)
New Jersey - NY Rangers
Detroit - (Boston/Buffalo)
Montreal - Ottawa
Minnesota - (Nashville/Chicago)
Dallas - Colorado
San Jose - (Vancouver/Edmonton)
Anaheim - Calgary
I really like all those Eastern matchups. Nash vs Chi to make it in is interesting. Love the San Jose vs wildcard too.
Washington - (Philadelphia/Carolina)
New Jersey - Pittsburgh
Boston - (Florida/Buffalo)
Detroit - Montreal
Chicago - (Nashville/Dallas)
St Louis - Minnesota
San Jose - (Anaheim/Edmonton)
Vancouver - Calgary
If Philly and Buffalo win, love the Eastern Conference matchups. Nash vs Dallas is very cool to get in vs Chicago. St Louis vs Minnesota...can you say birth of a rivalry? And again, that's the year Gabby came back on fire at the end of the season and we got rid of Lemaire/Riser...
Washington - (Philadelphia/NY Rangers)
New Jersey - Pittsburgh
Detroit - (Boston/Montreal)
Buffalo - Ottawa
Chicago - (St Louis/Dallas)
Nashville - Colorado
San Jose - (Los Angeles/Calgary)
Phoenix - Vancouver
Remember when Philly got in over the Rags on a shootout the last game of the season? How about that game goes to sudden death instead? Also, Bruins and Habs to get in vs Detroit? I love that you're competing to see who goes up against the big dogs.
Washington - (NY Rangers/Carolina)
Philadelphia - Pittsburgh
Detroit - (Montreal/Buffalo)
Boston - Tampa Bay
Nashville - (St Louis/Minnesota)
Chicago - Dallas
Vancouver - (Phoenix/Los Angeles)
San Jose - Anaheim
Wild in a one-game playoff during the Todd Richards, Martin Havlat, and Brent Burns era? And if they win, they don't get Jonas Brodin?
NY Rangers - (New Jersey/Washington)
Pittsburgh - Philadelphia
Boston - (Ottawa/Buffalo)
Detroit - Florida
St Louis - (Dallas/Colorado)
Nashville - Chicago
Vancouver - (Los Angeles/Calgary)
Phoenix - San Jose
First off, LA loses that game and we have a different Cup winner. Another Ottawa/Buffalo rematch. Pittsburgh and Philly still in the first round. Detroit vs Florida sucks, but that's on the conference makers.
For Wild fans, that's potentially THREE more times the Wild make the playoffs (2006, 2009, 2011). You can't tell me you wouldn't want to see the NHL pick up this option.

Like the idea save for the best of 5. In a gate driven league you want the extra game. In a best of 7 each team is guaranteed two home games, so do you deny a team a chance to rake some money in?ReplyDelete
This actually addresses most of my issues with the current proposed format. It gets rid of the crossover wildcard, which is bush league and sounds like something out of a less legitimate league (MLS did it and had league champs win for the wrong conference). At the same time, more teams get a chance to play for the postseason - even with two unbalanced conferences - and increases the intensity of some rivalries.ReplyDelete
There are issues like taking away a game in a gate-driven league (although having more teams having a chance in the playoffs does help) and still having unbalanced conferences, but unless the league expands to 32 with 2 western cities there will be issues one way or another.
- AnonymousFebruary 27, 2013 at 3:01 PM
The main reason they went to best of seven was to give teams the chance to host at least two playoff games in the first round. For some teams, the raised ticket prices for playoff seating and additional HRR related to playoff games is the difference between operating in the red and operating in the black.ReplyDelete

I already have grown tired of Carolina in the Wild Card gameReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 27, 2013 at 8:17 PM
This is beyond stupid. How does Detroit end up with Boston AND Tampa Bay? Those cities are not nearly as close to Detroit as the cities they play with now.ReplyDelete
All you have to do is move Winnipeg to the Northwest, Minnesota to the Central, and Nashville to the Southeast.
It really is THAT frelling simple!!!
The Sabres would have been in or in 1 Gm playoff every year instead of straight out 4 years.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 27, 2013 at 9:40 PM
Well, I secretly still hate the shootout, and I openly hate that MLB does a stupid one-game pre-playoff game, so I wouldn't like it any better here.ReplyDelete
I still oppose putting the two Florida teams in with the the three eastern Canadian teams while teams like Columbus are in another division. I'm sorry, but I'm sick of Penguins fans whining that they cannot possibly be separated from the Rangers and Capitals. I realize that splitting NYI/NYR/NJ would never happen, so why not put PIT and PHI in with BOS/BUF/DET, etc.
Oh wait, the Penguins would have to play Boston and Detroit too many times each year. We wouldn't want that...Replies
- AnonymousFebruary 28, 2013 at 12:48 AM
I don't think there's any good solution, if you put PIT and PHI with BOS/BUF/DET, then you stick the two Florida teams/Carolina team with Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal. That doesn't make a lot of sense either.Delete

The program content is best described in Maya Angelou's quote-
"People will forget what you say; people will forget what you do; but, people will never forget how you made them feel."
Sunriver Resort operates based on a Culture that holds trust, open and honest communication, and having a commitment to one another and our jobs as the three most important principles.

We also plan to have a live update on the game during Saturday's Canandaigua National Bank & Trust High School Sports Show starting at noon Saturday on WHTK AM 1280 and www.whtk.com. Other scheduled guests include the state champion Mercy volleyball team, the co-state champion Livonia boys soccer team and Pittsford hockey coach, Steve Thering.

Just a thought I've had for a couple of days.
There are some albums which never quite seem to hit the spot...or maybe they hit the spot on a rainy day. I don't mean albums you dislike. In fact, on occasion, you might really enjoy them. You know, those albums which are part of the overall picture of an artist, but which are oddballs or oddities.
For me, I've always thought of the following albums as being odd, strange, ever-so-slightly off-kilter:
Goat's Head Soup by The Rolling Stones (weary, muddy, autumnal, nightmarish, macabre, bad trip)
Wind and Wuthering by Genesis (again autumnal, a bit melancholy, slightly regretful)
Stranded by Roxy Music (seedy, faded grandeur, glamour gone to seed)
Smiley Smile by The Beach Boys (fragments of half-remembered conversations, bad dreams)
The Soft Parade by The Doors (the lizard-king and chums meet Vegas cheese fest band and strike up unlikely frienship)
I must stress: not albums actively disliked. I'd be keen to read your thoughts...

Stan Collender's blog
It's a very (at least by Washington standards) snowy day in and around the beltway, so what better time than to demonstrate the extreme (bordering on the ultra) hypocrisy these days that exists when it comes to the federal budget. All of these seemingly unrelated events and announcements took place over the past four weeks.
In case you missed it, the FY2014 omnibus appropriation, which will keep the government funded through the September 30, that is, through the end of the fiscal year, passed the Senate yesterday 72-26. It was adopted by the House the day before 359 to 67.
Here are the five quick reasons why the votes were so big and bipartisan.
1. The GOP is still hurting from the October government shutdown. There's no doubt that the negative political repercussions from being blamed for this October's two-week shutdown is haunting House Republicans. As happened after the 1995-1996 shutdowns when congressional Republicans took it on the chin politically, the chances of a shutdown being threatened again any time soon are now significantly lower than they were several months ago and the omnibus was the first opportunity for the House GOP leadership to take advantage of this new sentiment.
This is the week when the-year-in-review stories start to be published.
I've always found those recaps to be largely irrelevant. If something significant happened this past year you likely already know or remember it without it being included on a top 10 list. And if you don't remember could it really have been that noteworthy?
Besides, when it comes to the federal budget, nothing that happened -- including the much-ballyhooed-but-actually-totally-inconsequential end-of-year deal -- was so important that it merits further discussion.
My overwhelming preference is to look at what's ahead rather than at what's already occurred. With that in mind, here are my top five budget predictions for 2014.
Don't believe what you may have heard elsewhere about the budget deal. Here's the truth.
Myth #1: This prevents another government shutdown.
The deal may make a shutdown less likely, but it absolutely doesn't prevent one from happening.
Shutdowns occur when there is a lapse in appropriations, that is, when an existing appropriation expires and no new appropriation is enacted to replace it. This deal raises the ceiling on the amount that may be appropriated, but it does not actually appropriate anything.
There still could be, or likely will be, a fight in January over the amount being spent and what it is being spent on when the widely expected omnibus appropriation is debated. The deal provides a ceiling on the amount that may be spent rather than a guarantee and some members of Congress will want to re-litigate the increase that was negotiated in this agreement. Others will threaten to vote against the omnibus because they disagree with the bill's priorities.
Myth #2: Congress has now passed a budget for the first time in years.
