Vote yes to Tupper Lake school budget
We encourage Tupper Lake Central School District residents to vote yes to the second version of the 2013-14 school budget Tuesday.
We also think it would be wise to vote yes for a ballot proposal to buy two buses. Unlike one's personal car, which one might run into the ground with little regard to resale value, it makes sense to trade in a school bus at the point when state aid runs out and resale value is still high.
We had recommended voting yes to the first budget proposal, too, even though it would have raised taxes more than 8 percent. That's because, as district Superintendent Seth McGowan correctly says, the main problem is a state aid reduction rather than a local spending increase.
The state is backing away from its commitment to funding education and at the same time getting tougher on school districts, trying to get more for its money. From one perspective, that's understandable, since schools have gotten much more expensive to run in recent generations, without a corresponding increase in educational quality.
But strict state requirements don't let a school district like Tupper Lake's just lop off hundreds of thousands of dollars from its budget without, frankly, making education significantly worse – teaching kids less.
Some of that quality reduction is built into this second budget proposal. A science teacher and a social studies teacher would be laid off, and five other instructors would leave and not be replaced: a foreign language teacher, a speech improvement specialist, a school psychologist and two special education positions.
Voters, however, spoke clearly that high taxes are a worse outcome. School officials got the message and came back with a budget that didn't just edge under the state tax cap; it comes in a full percentage point below it.
To reject that would get into more severe cuts that, we fear, would undermine the community.
Of course, all this is a matter of perspective. Perhaps you feel angry about high taxes in general and want to take it out wherever you can. Maybe you, like the TV anchorman in the 1976 movie "Network," want to yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Maybe you, like failed governor candidate Carl Paladino, want to take a baseball bat to your government.
Or maybe your anger is a little more reasonable, like that of IceMiser, an anonymous commenter on our website who wrote this about school employees Monday: "we don't want to pay over the top salaries and benefit packages anymore. No more paid summers off, you should work all year round to collect a full years salary. No more lifetime medical coverage upon retirement, your coverage should end when you stop working, pay your own way. And there should be a limit on how long pensions are paid out, so the citizens are not stuck paying forever. Kill tenure! Salaries based on merit are far more adequate. No! means NO!"
While we wouldn't go so far, society does need to hear proposals like these. They may sound radical, but as newspaper employees, we know firsthand that private-sector workers usually don't get things like tenure, summers off, pensions and retiree health care. Yet we all pay for public workers to get them, as mandated by the state. It's understandable that many people see this as unfair.
Nevertheless, envy and resentment shouldn't be the basis of policy decisions.
Furthermore, voting down the Tupper Lake school budget won't achieve any of IceMiser's goals. The school board can't renegotiate employee contracts at this stage in the game, and the state won't let it limit retirees' benefits.
For now, all Tupper Lake school officials could do is lay off more teachers and staff, which would mean worse education than its neighbors, more people without jobs, and less attraction for new residents and businesses.
We hope the community doesn't choose that route.

Southern India's lower-caste Nadars, once only a step above untouchables, are now well-educated business leaders, reports the New York Times.
. . . southern India has rocketed far ahead of much of the rest of the country on virtually every score — people here earn more money, are better educated, live longer lives and have fewer children.
Why? Southern India's lower castes concentrated on education and business, while northern India's castes worked for "political power and its spoils."
Charismatic leaders in the north from lower castes have used caste identity as a way to mobilize voters, winning control over several large north Indian states.
Lower castes in southern India began fighting upper-caste domination a century ago, before independence from the British. Gaining political power wasn't an option, so the Nadars focused on "dignity, education and self-reliance."
Nadars created business associations to provide entrepreneurs with credit they could not get from banks. They started charities to pay for education for poor children. They built their own temples and marriage halls to avoid upper caste discrimination.
"Our community focused on education, not politics," said R. Chandramogan, a Nadar entrepreneur who built India's largest privately owned dairy company. "We knew that with education, we could accomplish anything."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Stavros Lambrinidis signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Hellenic Republic to reduce the incentive for further pillage of Greece's cultural heritage. The Secretary and Foreign Minister signed the MOU at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, on July 17, 2011.
Secretary Clinton said, "It is a great honor for me to be representing the United States, a friend, ally, and partner to Greece, and also to be exemplifying the very warm relations between the American and Greek people.
"Millions of visitors have already had the experience of walking through this magnificent museum here in the shadow of the Acropolis and experiencing firsthand the extraordinary gifts that Greece has given over its long history to Western civilization in which my country as well is in your debt.
"This agreement that we are signing today will protect Greece's culturally significant objects even further from looting and sale on the international market. It will be illegal to import protected items from Greece into the United States unless they have been certified by the Greek authorities. And that will help reduce the incentive to illegally remove such objects in the first place.
"We know from experience that measures like this work. This will be our 15th cultural property agreement. And in countries from Cambodia to Cyprus, we have seen real results. These agreements build on America's long-term commitment to cultural preservation. Forty years ago, the United States was the first nation in the world to ratify the World Heritage Convention, and it remains a priority for our government and for me personally.
"Let me just conclude by saying that America is just as committed to Greece's future as we are to preserving your past. During these difficult economic times, we will stand with you. We are confident that the nation that built the Parthenon, invented democracy, and inspired the world can rise to the current challenge."
You can read a transcript of Secretary's remarks here.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $6.49 (46% off)
Excellent product!
Posted by Sickness-ELIMINATOR on Aug 11, 2013
PureWay-C 500 mg with Bioflavonoids is different than all previous forms of vitamin C because it employs naturally derived lipid metabolites, from vegetable waxes, to enhance the uptake, distribution and release kinetics of ascorbic acid. PureWay-C uses lipid metabolism to alter the lipid absorption potential of generally water-soluble ascorbic acid, thereby enhancing the vitamin's bioavailability unlike any other formulation. Lipid metabolites interact with cells in a non-toxic, safe and effective manner to enhance bioavailability of ascorbic acid. Plus, it's scientifically proven to scavenge up to 93% of free radicals! PureWay-C has independent research to support its superior health benefits to nervous system, skin and immune system health. Make the switch to PureWay-C today! . . . . You can find other products I use on my Page! I use only products that have Scientifically Proven benefits.
works well
Posted by 101010011 on Jul 13, 2012
the pureway c was recommended by a family physician due to the fact that in clinical research, it showed higher uptake and retention levels in the bloodstream as opposed to traditional ascorbic acid. this has been very helpful for my system. it is easy on the stomach, and i always take it on an empty stomach without any irritations. if tablet size is an issue for you, these are relatively on the smaller size
Works Well
Posted by Reviewer3336887 on Sep 02, 2009
I have tried many types of C, I like how this one is sustained release and its optimized for higher absorbtion. I would also like to see a bottle with 120+ I eat so much C that I run out quickly!
DB Pureway -C
Posted by Reviewer2328138 on Dec 26, 2009
I've taken time release C for many years. This offers 24 hour protection which can't hurt. I also take a couple grams of ordinary time release C. The timed release helps keep the C in your blood and not urine.
Best Vit c
Posted by Reviewer2190376 on Apr 01, 2012
Best vit C I've ever used. My body seems to retain this a lot more than regular ascorbic acid. I notice a little more energy but mostly my immune system seems good when using these.
Doctor's Best, PureWay-C, Sustained Release Vit. C, 60 Tablets
Posted by Reviewer2823328 on Nov 30, 2011
It's a round uncoated tablet which is harder for me to swallow.
A better way.
Posted by Reviewer1107737 on Jan 22, 2010
I have always purchased chewable "C" and really didn't care for it. To me there is nothing better than a real orange in your mouth, not a pill. I'm still cold and flu free with this supplement. Its continued coverage is a real advantage over anything else I have used.
Best of both worlds
Posted by Reviewer1827703 on Jan 04, 2011
This combo of fat soluble and water soluble Vit C is exactly what I had been looking for. Love it and have continued to reorder it.
Glad I found it!
Posted by Reviewer1947628 on May 26, 2011
I've been unable, for several years, to find a vitamin C that I could use on a regular, daily basis, until now. It's been a source of relief to finally find PureWay-C, and know that this need is being met!
Great product, good price
Posted by Reviewer3292629 on Apr 08, 2014
Recommended by health practitioner for nerve pain. Working well.

Warning Signs - Page 2
Although most trail runners will never subject their bodies to the rigors of a 100-mile race, these examples illustrate that rhabdomyolysis can afflict all athletes. The condition, although uncommon, has a scary death rate—up to eight percent of cases are fatal, typically due to kidney failure and/or internal bleeding problems (Cervellin G et al 2010). In addition, rhabdomyolysis is the reported cause of eight to 15 percent of cases of sudden-onset renal failure.
The ultramarathoners in California and Scotland mentioned earlier all survived; however, three were treated for kidney failure. The following review includes the most current information about the warning signs of rhabdomyolysis, as well as prevention measures and treatment plans.
What the Heck Is Rhabdomyolysis (even if you can't pronounce it)?
Exertional rhabdomyolysis is caused by direct muscle injury and subsequent massive muscle breakdown, resulting in a release of muscle proteins that can overwhelm the kidneys. Injury to cell membranes occurs from exposure to extreme heat, and/or crushing, pounding or tearing trauma. One of the proteins released from damaged muscle cells is myoglobin—imagine a big chunky molecule. Myoglobin can leak out of damaged cells and in essence "clog up" the intricate tubules in the kidneys, causing renal failure.
Heat and dehydration combined with extreme exercise are the most common combination that promotes such massive muscle breakdown. "Running the 'extra mile' has become the norm with both newly minted and well-trained athletes," says A. Joseph Bilik, M.D., FACS, of Sarasota, Florida. "The combination of dehydration and extreme effort puts both these groups at increasing risk for glycogen deprivation and ultimately rhabdomyolysis. This process liberates intracellular electrolytes (sodium, potassium and calcium) as well as muscle-damage byproducts, which can result in renal failure."
Electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium require homeostasis for proper cell function throughout the body, including the kidneys. Damaged cells allow intracellular electrolytes to leak into the bloodstream, which may affect heart and kidney function (having flashbacks to high-school biology?). Importantly, increased potassium in the blood stream can seriously affect heart function and may lead to heart-rate disturbances.
Athletes at Risk
Pushing a very hard run that is significantly faster than usual training miles, intense whole-body weight lifting or strenuous whole-body plyometric programs may put athletes at risk for rhabdomyolysis. It can also occur when trail runners suddenly increase training intensity after an episode of de-conditioning, like recovering from illness or a training break. The WS100 athletes hospitalized for rhabdomyolysis were in general relatively younger, faster runners with recent injuries. However many reports demonstrate "rhabdo" does not discriminate; both men and women of all ages are susceptible, and fitness levels vary from the elite athlete to the weekend warrior.
Clinical reports have shown a relationship between some common medications and exertional rhabdomyolysis. Athletes taking statin drugs that lower cholesterol, antihistamines/anti-nausea medications, psychiatric prescriptions and others may be more susceptible. At least two cases have been reported where trekkers taking phenothiazine (a drug found in some prescription antihistamines and psychiatric meds) developed rhabdomyolysis, resulting in one death (Koizumi T et al 1996).

Ball, Hugo
Hugo Ball 1886-1927
German poet, novelist, dramatist, biographer, critic, and diarist.
Ball was a founding member of Zurich Dada. Together with the other members of the early Dada group who met at the celebrated Cabaret Voltaire—Tristan Tzara, Hans Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Marcel Janco, and others—Ball led a nihilistic revolt in arts and literature against the dominant, bourgeois social and aesthetic values of Western culture. Though he did not remain a part of the Dada collective for long, Ball wrote and delivered the "First Dadaist Manifesto" in 1916 and produced many expressionistic poems and experimental works, such as the novel Flametti oder vom Dandysmus der Armen (1918) and his diary Die Flucht aus der Zeit. Tagebücher 1912-1921 (1927; Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary), that are numbered among the most significant Dadaist writings. Following a conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1917, Ball also wrote several religious and political works of a more scholarly nature, including his polemical Zur Kritik der deutschen Intelligenz (1919; Critique of the German Intelligentsia).
Biographical Information
Ball was born in Pirmasens, Germany on 22 February 1886. His father was a shoe salesman, and his mother a profoundly religious woman, whose spirituality was to have a deep impact on Ball throughout his life. After completing high school, Ball became an apprentice leatherworker, acquiescing to his parents' desire that he focus on work rather than academics. Displeased with this occupation, he entered the University of Munich in 1906, where he studied philosophy and wrote a dissertation on Friedrich Nietzsche. His first published work, a satirical drama entitled Die Nase des Michelangelo (1911), was also written in Munich. Determined to pursue a career in the theater, he entered the Max Reinhardt School in Berlin, and between 1910 and 1914 attempted to support himself as an actor and director. Concurrently, Ball began to frequent the cafés of Berlin and Munich, associating with German artists and intellectuals. With the outbreak of war in 1914, Ball enthusiastically enlisted in the German military, but was soon discharged for health reasons. The following year, Ball and his wife, the artist and writer Emmy Hennings, moved to Switzerland. A period of desperate poverty followed, until Ball's transformation of the backroom of a Zurich café into a venue for avant-garde artists, poets, and musicians called Cabaret Voltaire in 1916. That year Ball, clad in a bizarre uniform made of painted cardboard, read an early "sound" poem before the collected audience at the café—an event generally associated with the initiation of the Zurich Dada movement. Ball's official involvement with Dada was relatively short-lived; he defected from the movement by July of 1917, after stating his belief that no attempt to form Dada into an artistic school should be made. During the ensuing decade, Ball produced his principal literary works, and contributed poems and essays to numerous literary journals. Ball died on 14 September 1927.
Major Works
Ball's earliest works include a number of expressionistic lyric poems first published in the journals Die Aktion, Die neue Kunst, and Die Revolution prior to 1915. "Der Henker" combines erotic and religious imagery in a chaotic and near-blasphemous display of the lustful excesses of modern European civilization. Written at the dawn of World War I, "Das Insekt" equates humanity with insects as it forwards the theme of impassioned self-destruction. Another segment of Ball's poetic work includes the so-called "sound" poems, which defy ordinary textual interpretation, and instead are designed to conjure rhythms and associations in the minds of listeners. For instance, Ball described the nonsense lyrics of "Karawane"—which features the line, "jolifanto bambla o falli bambla"—as evocative of the sounds of an elephant caravan. The experimental novel Tenderenda der Phantast, written between 1914 and 1920 but first published in 1967, lacks plot or characters, but is instead an inchoate blending of poetry and prose, religious imagery, and metaphysical musings concerning the artist's precarious place within modern society. Ball presents a similar theme in his more traditional novel Flametti oder vom Dandysmus der Armen (1918). The novel follows Flametti, the vagabond leader of a troupe of impoverished artists and performers, in his attempts to secure work; efforts that ultimately end in the band's dissolution. These early Dadaist works offer a considerable contrast to Ball's later writings, including his attack on German nationalism in Critique of the German Intelligentsia (later significantly revised and republished as Die Folgen der Reformation, 1924) and his Byzantinisches Christentum. Drei Heiligenleben (1923), which contains hagiographies of three Byzantine saints. Ball's other work includes his Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary, and a biography of his friend, the German writer Hermann Hesse.
Critical Reception
Critical evaluation of Ball's writing has generally focused on the intensely personal and subjective nature of his work, as well as the wide stylistic variety of his output. Some modern commentators have also noted the significant influence of Nietzschean thought on his writings, particularly in regard to irrationality and the modern collapse of traditional morality. Overall, Ball has been viewed as a seminal Dada figure, though critics continue to emphasize his idiosyncratic relationship to the movement. Rex W. Last has written, "for Ball, Dada represented the culmination of his revolt against external authority, and at the same time a means of breaking through the surface appearance to the realms of the spirit beyond. But Dada turned against him and threatened to destroy him."

[In the following reprint of his "First Dada Manifesto," originally delivered in 1916, Ball relates the significance of Dada.]
Dada is a new art movement. One can tell this from the fact that until now nobody knew a thing about it, and tomorrow everyone in Zurich is going to be talking about it. Dada comes from the dictionary. It is terribly simple. In French it means "hobby horse." In German it means "so long," "go fly a kite," "I'll be seeing you sometime." In Romanian: "Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it. But of course, yes, it's a deal." And so forth.
An international word. Just a word, and the word a movement. Very easy to understand. Quite terribly simple. To make an art movement of it must mean that one wants to avoid complications. Dada psychology, Dada Germany cum indigestion and fog paroxysms, Dada literature, Dada bourgeoisie, and yourselves, most honored poets, who are always writing with words but never writing the word itself, who are always writing around the actual point. Dada world war without end, Dada revolution without beginning, Dada, you friends and also-poets, esteemed sirs, manufacturers, and evangelists Dada Tzara, Dada Hülsenbeck, Dada m'dada, Dada m'dada Dada mhm, dada dera dada, Dada Hue, Dada Tza.

[In the following essay, Last surveys Ball's life and career, emphasizing "the variety of styles and forms which he adopted."]
Of all the Dadaists, Hugo Ball was the one whose life was the most fraught with physical deprivation and inner tension, and torn between the most violent extremes. And yet, at first sight, it appears somewhat surprising that this should be so, for the usual image of Ball is that of a man reveling in the artistic revolution, rather than of an individual borne along upon a tide...

Die Flucht aus der Zeit, Hugo Ball's diaries for the years 1910-21, has long enjoyed the reputation of one of the seminal documents of the dada movement. Hans Richter has written that of all the dadaists only Ball has so precisely expressed the inner conflicts of that period, and that he...

Of all the movements of the early avant-garde, Dada is the one that continues to say the most to us. Although its life was short—beginning in 1916 with the nightly spectacles at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, and ending effectively, if not officially, in 1922 with the riotous demonstrations in Paris against Tristan Tzara's play, Le Coeur à gaz—its spirit has not quite passed into the remoteness of history.

When discussing Hugo Ball's life in his book Begegnungen, Siegfried Streicher (who had worked with Ball on the Freie Zeitung in Berne in 1917) comments on the great influence which Nietzsche's philosophy had on Ball. He writes: "Ball kam ganz aus der geistigen Essenz Nietzsches. Und er...

[In the following essay, Balakian explores the Modernist poetics of Ball, Vicente Huidobro, and Pierre Reverdy.]
Three poets of the early decades of this century shed light on the major paradoxes of modernism. I am not trying to establish this triptych to exercise random intertextuality nor as a basis for a study of influences. Geography separated these poets; the age connected them.

Hugo Ball's Critique of the German Intelligentsia is simultaneously a historical document and a provocation. A passionate indictment of the German intelligentsia for its chauvinism in the First World War, the Critique is also an extraordinary instance of the...

[In the following essay, White explicates four of Ball's Expressionist poems, observing the ways in which these works "offer a compendium of styles and mannerisms and reflect the diversity of Ball's work."]
Ball's poetic gift was given new impetus by theories that gained prevalence during his Munich years. These theories were in turn influenced by his work in the theater: in Munich he became an expressionist poet. Ball was a spectacular expressionist, given to manic exaltation. His poetry, much like Gottfried Benn's...

From warm and walled Cartagena to temperate and sprawling Bogota, Colombia is a country whose 46 million people represent the very definition of a nation redefining itself. I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in Colombia, where Secretary Clinton launched WEAmericas, a new initiative focused on women entrepreneurs -- one of the greatest drivers of economic growth. I also visited Bogota, where I spoke with government and civil society leaders on the global scourge of gender-based violence (GBV) and how we can better collaborate to prevent, respond to and address this issue.
More than 50 years of internal armed conflict has had a devastating impact on many of Colombia's women. Nearly 80 percent of those displaced by the conflict are women and children. Only a small number of women are part of the Congress, despite the existing quota law. Women have also yet to take their full place in Colombia's economy. According to the Ministry of Labor, the unemployment rate for women is double that of men (16.7 versus 9.9 percent) and according to the World Economic Forum, women earn 40 percent less than men for equal work. And yet, I came away with an incredible sense of optimism -- Colombia is a country that has many challenges, to be sure, but it is also poised for a resurgence.
With the help of some very talented women entrepreneurs, the Secretary's launch of WEAmericas was a convening of high level officials from across the region, including the Colombian Vice President Angelino Garzón, the Mexican First Lady Margarita Zavala, Barbados Foreign Minister Maxine McClean, and 40 women entrepreneurs from diverse regions of Colombia who are dedicated to growing their businesses and communities. WEAmericas is a series of public-private partnerships to address the three major barriers women entrepreneurs face when they start and/or grow a business: access to training and networks; access to markets; and access to finance.
Speaking with some of the women after the launch, it became clear that our investment -- along with our partners' investments -- will not only help to transform the lives of women in Colombia, but the region as a whole.
Our embassy in Bogota, led by Ambassador Michael McKinley, has done a tremendous job of putting women at the cornerstone of its work. Ambassador McKinley sets an example of commitment to integrating gender into the Embassy's policies. To foster a coordinated approach and streamline programming, the Embassy created a formal Inter-Agency Gender Working Group that includes representatives from several government agencies. The results are already impressive. We see them in the continued focus on Colombia's women, peace and security efforts; in USAID and the Department of Justice's emphasis on strengthening women's access to justice and victims' restitution; in the Embassy-sponsored Women's Labor and Business Roundtable; and with the Pathways to Prosperity Women's Entrepreneurship Network Initiative. Embassy Bogota has created a model for gender integration across all program areas.
Colombia's government is working to institute policies and protocols to ensure that women are at the center of the Santos Administration. From the High Counselor on Gender Equity, Cristina Plazas, to the Defense Ministry to the Labor Ministry -- officials told me a story of hard work, but also of hope for a better future.
Civil society is also leading this charge. I was inspired anew when I met with Jineth Bedoya, one of this year's International Women of Courage awardees. She told me that despite the threats she receives, she remains committed to the women of Colombia and to telling her -- and their -- story.
The women I met represent the backbone of a country that is rebuilding itself after approximately 50 years of armed conflict. They have borne a terrible and disproportionate brunt of this violence, especially sexual violence. These atrocities -- and the continuing impunity for offenders -- cut across ethnic, class, political and geographic lines. We will continue to work to support Colombia in its efforts to bring perpetrators to justice.
One woman I met in Colombia said it best when she told me, "Peace is a hope in Colombia, not yet a complete reality." The women of Colombia will continue to play a critical role in ushering in peace, justice and security.
Visit state.gov/s/gwi for more information on the Office of Global Women's Issues at the U.S. Department of State and visit our Facebook page for more pictures from WEAmericas and my trip to Colombia.

if ry cooder can pull it off, so could paul
When one comes to think of it there are actually quite a few songs with sparse vocals, "Momma Miss America" is another one that comes to mind
Indian music is cool, he also had a project with classical guitars, never heard of it again. Or maybe team up with someone like Kylie Minogue, she also made some great music with Nick Cave...http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xawbgn ... _lifestyle

Pappardelle is a wider ribbon of pasta to that of fettuccine. Using this type of pasta just makes your dish extra sexy. I like these kinds of recipes because you can change things up. The pasta and sauce alone are fine; from there you can add grilled shrimp or fish and whatever vegetables are in season.
Spring Pappardelle Recipe
½ bunch of fresh asparagus, cut into 2" pieces
10 artichoke quarters, fresh or frozen
½ cup spring peas
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons shallots, minced
1 large garlic clove, minced
pinch of crushed red chilies
½ cup Romano cheese, grated
¾ cup cream
sea salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces pappardelle pasts
¼ cup Romano cheese, finely grated
2 Tablespoons mint, chiffonade
Prepare all of you ingredients first. We are going to prepare this recipe in a streamline fashion. Start the water for the pasta and add a little salt. Add the pasta once the water is at a rolling boil.
To prepare the sauce, sauté the artichokes in the olive oil and brown them well. Remove them from the pan and set aside. Start sautéing the shallots on low until translucent. Add in the garlic and chilies, and raise the heat to medium. Watch the garlic; just as it turns golden add in the cream. Reduce heat back to low and cook for a few minutes. The pasta at this point should almost be done. Remember to keep stirring the pappardelle, it like to stick. For the fun part you can now add the peas and asparagus to the pasta pot. This will cook the vegetables and finish the pasta all at once, drain.
Stir in the half cup of cheese and whisk to create a creamy cheese sauce, adjust the seasoning and pour in the pasta. Toss to coat the pasta and vegetables. To complete, plate up and sprinkle on the remaining cheese and the mint. Serves 3-4.

MAC Colour Craft Haul - Pics, Swatches, and FOTD
Yesterday I headed to MAC to check out the release of the new Colour Craft collection. I actually filmed and edited my haul video last night but my BF fell asleep before putting music on it :( Needless to say, it's not up right now, lol. I'll try to load it this afternoon. Meanwhile, I wanted to show you some pics and swatches.
First off, this collection was huge! MAC really went Mineralize Makeup happy on this one. I spent more on this than I've spent on MAC for a while.
Check out my video!
Let's start off with the MSFs. They had two kinds to choose from: the regular msfs and a striped Mineralize trio.
From the regular kind I picked up two of the three. The one I didn't get, Sunny By Nature, was a random tan shade that looked kind of blah.
The first one I actually picked up was Porcelain Pink. This is a very pale pink that would like great as a subtle pink highlight. It's not as chunky as some of my other pink MSFs (light flush). In terms of wearing it as a blush though, it would probably only work on very fair skin tones. This isn't really a must-have, but I wanted it for collection purposes.
I also picked up Cheeky Bronze MSF. This one I really like! It has a peachy pink sheeen to it. It's a bit more pigmented than Porcelain Pink, especially on tanner skin tones. This would make a gorgeous highlight to give that shimmer skin look. You could probably rock this as a blush only if you're on the fair side.
Here are swatches of the two. You can see Porcelain Pink is more of a super light baby pink...better for lighter skin tones in IMO. Cheeky Bronze could possibly work as a blush for lighter skin tones but I'd use it as a pretty highlighter on tanner tones. The peach in it really warms up the skin.
I only picked up one of the three MSF trios. The two other consisted of dupeable shades in my opinion - Triple Fusion (Golden Peachy) and Smooth Merge (dupeable pink).
The only one I picked up was Warm Blend. This chocolate concoction really stood out to me. I don't usually see MSFs this dark. Finally a great MSF for women of color! You can use it as a bronzer, highlighter, blush, or contour color. I'd also use this for eyeshadow. I definitely recommend this one especially for tan to dark skin tones.
Moving on to the Mineralize Eyeshadows. The formula is pretty pigmented this time around. The shadows come in quads this time, which is actually a pretty good deal for the money. Unfortunately, Mineralize Eyeshadows tend to sit neglected in my collection. Only one of the six really stood out to me and that was Natural Flare.
This is probably the one I would actually use the most. Some of the other quads seemed to have random color combos and some applied ashy. If you're selling something in a quad, I'm picky about making sure the colors really go together. The coppery gold shades in this quad are perfect all year round, especially for women that love the earth tone bronzey makeup look. I wore these in my haul video which will be uploaded later today. To be honest, I'm more of a matte eyeshadow girl and I tend to stray from super shimmer shadows like these but I could actually see myself wearing this one on the regular. The only thing is that I would probably use a more subtle highlighter next time because the champagne tone in the quad was a bit too glittery. You need a little bit of balance in a look between finishes. If you pick up any of the eyeshadow quads, I would recommend this one.
Out of the six lipsticks, I picked out only one. Madly Creative seemed like the most unique shade. This collection featured more frosts...a departure from the lusters in many of the past collections. If you like pink lips, this is a good one for you. It's not overly frosty...the sheen almost makes you look like you're wearing a gloss, minus the stickiness. The rest of the colors were so so...no must haves.
I only picked up one of the Marbelized lipglasses. I really hate this square packaging because it makes it too difficult to get enough product on the wand. However, I did pick up one...a very pretty pink purple tone. I couldn't resist it after I applied it to my hand. Beware though, the colors swatch really pretty but they are very sheer (like the ones released in the Sugar Sweet collection). You'd have to wear a coordinating lipstick/lipliner underneath for the pigmentation to show.
I picked up two of the six Minearlize Blushes. Some of these swatched super frosty so tan to dark skin tones need to be aware because it might come across ashy. I picked up Daft Pink because it swatched a really pretty bright pink. I'd probably pair it with a matte color blush to tone it down a little. Cheek & Cheerful blush is an amazing highlighter for my skin tone...it doesn't swatch nearly as frosty as the rest.
Lastly, we have the brushes. This collection also had the 109 in it, which is a great brush, but it's permanent so we skipped that one. I was really excited about getting the 226 again. This was released in the Blond, Brunette, Redhead collection and I had to pick up two more for my kit. This is a must have brush for small eyelids or if you want a defined crease...pick it up before it sells out! The other brush is a newbie...the 131. It's a Duo Stippling brush more flat than the 187 or 188. It makes an awesome contour/highlighting brush. Since it's more flat and dense than the 187/188, it doesn't splay as much on the skin so you can concentrate the color only where you need it. It's awesome for contouring...the mixed bristles prevent you from getting that annoying dark streak in the contours of the cheek because it allows you to blend better. I would definitely recommend both these brushes.
Here I am wearing all products from this collection minus foundation, brows, lashes and liner. The look in person was super glittery and frosty lol. Try to mix and match these products with other finishes to prevent looking like a disco ball.
All products MAC unless otherwise mentioned.
-Warm Blend MSF as contour and bronzer
-Daft Pink blush
-Cheeky & Cheerful blush as highlighter
-Eve Pearl tan foundation and medium salmon concealer
-Steelo Cosmetics Mineral Foundation in MD25

Noted but not yet documented, the Fossil STP 1-11, a superb clone of the ETA 2824 that Christian the watch guy likes better than the original:
I prefer the STP 1-11 over the ETA 2824-2 for the following reasons:
So what we have here is an improved classic with the performance we are used to, and added longevity. What's not to like?
This is a huge deal, at least if Fossil can make enough: ETA has choked supply, I hear that Miyota 9015 and Sellita and Soprod A-10 are all hard to get, so a new entrant that's better than the ETA would be just wonderful.
Courtesy of WatchPaper, Ronda announced a new mechanical movement, the Ronda R150. Good to have more alternatives to the ETA 2824, Miyota 9015, Seiko 6R15 and the like, but the Ronda is only for Swiss-made. Read the page for details.
It's visual:
I need to try this, seemed worth sharing.

Ralph A. Letersky Sr.
Ralph A. Letersky Sr., 87, passed away Tuesday, May 14, 2013, at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Buffalo, New York following a short illness.
He was born Dec. 25, 1925 in Dunkirk, NY, the son of the late John and Frances (Mackowiak) Letersky.
Ralph attended Dunkirk Industrial High School and was a WW II Combat Veteran, having served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS LST 701 and USS Shakori. He earned the American Theater Medal, Victory Medal, Asiatic Pacific Medal 3 Stars, Philippine Liberation Ribbon 1 Star, and a C.O. Commendation.
After the war he courted and married the love of his life, the late Theresa Bialaszewski and together they raised four children, their primary residence being Dunkirk, NY.
A Nuclear Fabrication Metallurgical Quality Control Engineer, Ralph had a lengthy career that resulted in his work taking him to such countries as Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, USSR, Kuwait, Brazil, and Japan, as well as stateside in California, Utah, Illinois, New York City, Seattle and Texas. Among his many projects, he worked on the prototype Stealth B-2 Bomber at Boeing in Seattle, a nuclear reactor in Kobe, Japan for C.F. Braun-Phillips that shipped to Australia, and the Alaskan Pipeline.
The son of a commercial fisherman, he loved to fish and was well schooled in the nuances of fishing in Lake Erie. Also an avid hunter, his last deer kill was at the age of 83. He especially enjoyed in these latter years his hunting trips to lodges in Cherry Creek and Pennsylvania. Ralph was an avid racing pigeon fancier for many years and a member of the Dunkirk Racing Pigeon Club.
His memberships also included Blessed Mary Angela Parish, American Legion Post 62, Northern Chautauqua Conservation Club, and Moniuszko Social Club.
His cheerful persona was colored by his stories, of which he had many, ranging from his boyhood, to his time in the Navy to his work travels. He leaves behind a plethora of tales and "Ralphism's" that will be lovingly repeated and remembered by his family and close friends.
Survivors include three children, Ralph A. (Nancy) Letersky and Kevin A. Letersky, both of Dunkirk, and Charmaine (William) Szczerbacki of Fredonia; five grandchildren, Jason, Jacob and Jenna Letersky, Kellie and Ryan Szczerbacki; one great-grandson, Ty Shults, of whom he was dearly fond; and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his wife, Theresa (Bialaszewski) in 1999, and daughter, Deborah Ann, in 1971; sisters Mildred Giordano, Ethel Fancher, Evelyn Neubauer, Eileen Bennett, and brothers Jack and Edmund.
Funeral arrangements are by the Newman Funeral Home Inc., 201 South Zebra Street, Dunkirk. Friends and family may call Sunday from 2:00 – 4:00 and 7:00 – 9:00 P.M. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 A.M. Monday at Blessed Mary Angela Parish – St. Hyacinth's Church. Interment at St. Hyacinth's Cemetery to follow with Military Honors.
Memorials may be made in care of the Willow Lodge Hospice Ward, Buffalo V.A. Hospital, 3495 Bailey Ave., Buffalo, NY 14215.

Toddler, Teen & In-Between

Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
When do I tell my 4th grader about sex, abstinence, you know all the birds and bees info. Also how far should the talk go?
I just read an article about how "christian" music isn't really important. I know that much of what is written for Christians is trite, and not award-worthy, but I still would rather have my kids singing out "Shout to the north and the south~sing to the east and the west" or "Our God is greater, Our God is healer awesome and power"---than "Pour some sugar on me" "Do me" or some trash from a gangsta group or worse... What do you all think?
Totally agree, Donna! Even if contemporary Christian music doesn't end up doing a whole lot to evangelize, other types of music has the potential to do a lot of harm.
If we listen to music, it is Christian music. I don;t have to worry about monitoring the lyrics. The kids listen and sing - the rhythm is good. I can;t stand muchof the contemporary modern music. I think the music is getting better and better.
Wendy, I would probably give your child a book to read on his/her own first, and then schedule time together to talk about it. I think it's important that you think of this as an ongoing conversation, not a once-in-a-childhood talk. I like the "God's Design for Sex" series of books by Brenna and Stan Jones, although we have not followed their age recommendations. Their book for parents ("How and When to Tell Your Kids About Sex") is also very helpful. Good luck!
I have a 4th grader, too, and I've only doled out information as he's asked or needed to know. I hope that we are teaching the principles of the theology of the body to him by how we live and what we say so that he respects his body, women, and his relationship with Christ. That's where he is getting his information on the nature of sacramental marriage and its importance. The time will come for specifics, but for our son, I don't think we're there yet. As far as music goes, I think there's a place for all of it - Christian and secular (excluding, of course, lyrics that are vulgar or obscene). I don't think there's any harm to cheesy pop music, Christian or otherwise. I think of it like a healthy diet. I hope my kids are getting a nice balance with exposure to classical, folk, sacred, jazz, rock, country, pop, etc. There's room for some junk in there - not that Christian music is junk. Some is very good, and the some that isn't so good is ok, too. I enjoy the Vacation Bible School cds they bring home, too!
Wendy - Every family is going to be different when they think it's time for the Birds and the Bees. I think it can be done later with boys since they develop later than girls but if they are in school, sometimes sooner is better so you can get there before peers do. Because I homeschool and am able to control what my kids are exposed to, I did not have the talk with my oldest son until he was 14 (summer after eighth grade) and he was still shocked since he had been so sheltered. He had just started puberty. We used the "Joyful Mysteries of Life" text. Theology of the Body is ongoing.

Kicking the can down the road, again
Republican lawmakers agreed this week to kick the gigantic debt ceiling can a little further down the road.
The House passed legislation Wednesday permitting the U.S. Treasury to exceed the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling through May 18. The Senate was expected to approve the measure Friday, and President Obama had already signaled that he would quickly sign the legislation when it reached his desk.
The agreement allows the government to avoid the threat of a government default, at least for now. The same arguments will be made by Republicans and Democrats in the weeks leading up the the new May 18 deadline.
Republicans have already made it known they will create a budget that would eliminate the deficit in 10 years, challenging Democrats to follow suit. Democrats hailed the legislation as a "fundamental change" in GOP strategy. Republicans called the bill "no budget, no pay," because they are calling for the Senate to draft a budget for the first time in four years, and that members should not be paid if their respective house does not pass a budget.
We avoided the fiscal cliff, and now we've avoided the debt ceiling fight, but not for long. At some point, reasonable voices from both parties must cobble together a package that includes spending cuts or the can will eventually grow too large to be kicked down the road again and again.
