What are they thinking? Congress fails, part II
I have this romantic, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" hope for Congress.
In this dream I picture congressmen and women debating and voting based on what they perceive to be right. It's a dream where principles and philosophies guide them. But this isn't just a dream — it's a pipe dream.
In reality, Congress is full of wheeling and dealing. I'll vote for that if you give me this. The fiscal cliff compromise bill is the latest example of this kind of politicking. The legislation was supposed to be about spending and taxes and in some ways it was. But the 150-page bill contains a slew of tax breaks and credits for various industries including Hollywood and NASCAR.
Here are a few examples:
• Movie producers can save up to $430 million if they film in the United States under a rule allowing them to expense $15 million in total costs for their project.
A seven-year recovery period for certain motorsports racing track facilities has been extended so NASCAR can save $70 million there.
• Algae growers are going to receive a $59 million credit to produce cellulosic biofuel.
• Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands will see $222 million in excise taxes returned to them for rum produced there.
• Railroad operators could receive as much as $331 million in tax credits to help maintain tracks they own or lease.
None of these have anything to do with the congressionally created fiscal cliff. But it's all part of federal law showcasing the favor-for-favor type of politics that exists in America.
Another example is the Hurricane Sandy relief bill. On the surface it sounds noble. In reality, the bill is anything but. Much like the fiscal cliff law, it too is filled with special projects. Most of them have nothing to do with Hurricane Sandy relief, like:
• $8 million so the Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department can purchase new vehicles and equipment.
• $41 million earmarked in the bill to fix up military bases, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Hurricane Sandy didn't strike Cuba).
• Perhaps the biggest doozy — almost $11 billion for future transportation needs (not needs created by the storm).
Even relief bills that appeal to the emotions are riddled with unnecessary projects.
Of course, this is all going on while the nation really needs to start cutting spending. Instead of putting the needs of the nation first, politicians are funneling money into projects benefiting themselves and their districts.
They don't even make any attempts to hide it because it's no secret the American government spends more money than it receives in revenues.
Nor is it a secret that Americans want a larger, more expensive government than we are willing to pay for. We're asking for Saks Fifth Avenue government for Walmart prices.
The politicians are more than happy to oblige.

Exploring Rotations in the Plane Extension Activity Continued
Lesson 9 of 23
Objective: To begin conceptual development of how rotations are the basis for many other geometry concepts.
Big Idea: Use compound rotations to develop a conceptual understanding of regular polygons, rotational symmetry, interior angle sums, and area.
Begin today by reminding students of the purpose of this extension activity.
Here is a link to a short video about opening each lesson by first "Clarifying and Sharing Learning Intentions and Criteria for Success."
The purpose is to apply compound rotations in order to see why and how other concepts in geometry fit together. Some examples of other concepts include understanding what it means to be a regular polygon and then all the extra features regular polygons have because of rotations. Part of the concepts will focus around the usefulness of triangles as they compose other polygons. Today, the activity will focus on special properties regular polygons have because they can be created through compound rotations. Students will be looking for patterns as well among angle measures so they can use their skills at creating function rules to generalize patterns into a rule.
Start the activity today by reviewing the last rotation, triangle PIG, under the document camera as this rotation was probably homework. Discuss with the students all the major concepts that were learned yesterday: what happens to a point when it is on the point of rotation, what it means to be a regular polygon and how they know, and how regular polygons can be broken into isosceles triangles.

Beginning the New Work
Allow students to work in their groups to completed questions 19 through 24. As students complete this work, walk about the room assessing learning and providing feedback to groups that will move their learning forward. Here are a few short videos links to help you with these strategies.
Activating Students as Resources for One Another
Providing Feedback that Moves Learning Forward
After allowing about 10 minutes working, or until you feel most or all of the class has put thoughtful answers on paper about these questions, then pull the classroom together for a mini-wrap up. The wrap up should focus on these questions and pull it all together by question 24 when the consolidated ideas can be put into a table. It is always best to allow student groups to present their thinking to each of the questions. This presentation time really helps with student engagement and making students owners of their own learning.
Here are a few short videos on mini wrap ups and helping students take ownership of learning.

Mini Wrap Ups
Resources (3)
After a full wrap up of all questions 19-24 and especially a good discussion of question 24 and the generalized rule of 360/n for the central angle measure of rotational symmetry, allow students to complete the chart in questions 25 and then assign the rotational symmetry homework page.

The Complete and Utter Idiot's Guide to Making a Baloney Sandwich by David Neilsen
Hello. Welcome to The Complete and Utter Idiot's Guide to Making a Baloney and Cheese Sandwich. Ready for Lunch? Good! Let's begin!
We're going to start our journey by assuming that you already possess each of the individual items you'll be needing to make this sandwich. It's a bit of a stretch, I know, but Lord knows we don't have time to take you shopping.
So, that said, the first thing you're gonna need is a place to make your sandwich. My suggestion would be a plate. So reach into your cupboard and grab a plate. Any will do. No, that's a bowl. Plates are flat. Right, yes, that's flat, but it's a cutting board. Plates are going to be round. Yes the bowl is round, but it's not flat, is it? Just... forget it. Grab that cutting board you had in your hands. Perfect. Put it down.
On the counter, not the floor.
Much better. Alright, you're ready to start. You need bread.
Personally, I prefer either wheat or sourdough, but you might prefer white, rye, pumpernickel, a French roll... you're just staring at me. What do you mean you don't have any bread like that? Like what? What kind of bread do you have?
Wonder. Fine, it's pre-sliced.
Take out two slices of Wonder Bread. Two. More than one, less than three. That's three. Put one back. Perfect. Place your two slices of Wonder Bread on your cutting board. See how easy this is?
OK, you need some sandwich ingredients, open your refrigerator.
Your refrigerator. Big thing in your kitchen. Stores food. Yes, and beer, too. That's the one.
Take out the cheese, the baloney, the mayo... you're giving me that look again. Let's stop there. Cheese, baloney and mayo. Mayonnaise. It's a sandwich spread. White. No, that's Miracle Whip. Yes, it's a white sandwich spread but... fine. Miracle Whip will do. Put it on the counter next to the bread.
OK. Now we...where's the cheese and baloney? Didn't I just say... ugh! Go back to the refrigerator and.. no, leave the Miracle Whip where it is, just go back to the fridge and open it. Good. Grab the cheese. Any kind will do. Oh, just pick one!
No, that's brie. It doesn't go well with baloney. What in the world are you doing with brie?
How about cheddar, do you have cheddar? It's probably orange. Yes! That's cheddar! Bring it to the counter next to cutting board. Now go back to the fridge. I'm sorry, are you getting dizzy? It can happen, get used to it. Open the fridge again. You're looking for baloney. God willing, it'll be pre-sliced. Baloney. It's meat. You're looking for a package filled with slices of meat.
That's bacon.
Yes! That's the baloney! Very good! Now bring that over to the food. No, we're done with the fridge, you'll just throw out whatever you don't use, I can't bear to go through the fridge disaster again.
OK, now you're ready to start making a baloney and cheese sandwich. Open the Miracle Whip. Open it. Twist the lid off of the jar. What do you mean it won't come off? Twist the other direction. There ya go! Now you need a knife.
Oh give me a break!
You don't need a sharp knife, you just need a spreading knife. Dull. Very dull. The duller the better. No! Not that! Put that down before you kill someone! Try to find a knife without a wooden handle. No, that has a wooden handle doesn't it? That probably means it's sharp. Don't test it to see! Just put it down! Find a dull, regular, boring knife!
OK. Perfect. That's a nice simple spreading knife. Dip it into the Miracle Whip. Now lift it out of the Miracle Whip and spread it on the slices of bread. Carefully. Not too hard, you'll tear the bread.
Harder than that. The knife has to at least touch the bread to leave the spread.
There ya go. Now do the other slice of bread. Perfect! You're a regular Julia Childs now!
She's a famous cook... nevermind.
OK, Now you are going to place a slice of baloney on one piece of bread. Open the package. No, this package doesn't screw open. Just pull the back end away from the rest of the package. See how it's opening up? Excellent. Take out a slice of baloney. Place it on one of the slices of bread. No, you don't need the knife for this.
Good! You're almost there! Now it's time to cut the cheese.
Stop giggling.
The cheese is unopened? OK, don't panic. Take the dull knife... the other end, grab the other end of the knife! Slice the package of cheese open. Just jam it in there and.. don't worry about hurting the cheese! Just slice the stupid thing open!
Very good, you're getting to be really good with the knife. Lord help us all.
Now take the block of cheese out and lay it on the counter. Just lay it on the counter, who cares if it's dirty! Like you're gonna be living long at this rate anyway! OK. Again with the knife, cut yourself a few slices of cheese. Thinner than that, you want more than two slices out of your block. Thinner. Thinner. Thinner! Just... measure with your pinky! Your pinky should be at least two slices thick. What are you... DON'T SLICE YOUR PINKY!!!
You know what? Forget it! Throw the cheese away. Throw it away! You're just having a baloney sandwich today, I can't deal with this. Don't look at me like that, throw the cheese in the garbage!
Now pick up one slice of bread and put it down on the other. Miracle Whip-side down. Well turn it over, you can't eat a sandwich with the Miracle Whip side facing out!
Because I said so!!!
OK. Pick up the sandwich.
Congratulations! You've made a Baloney Sandwich! Dufus.

GE model number wwa8955salww timer issue been running fine til recently at the end of the first agitation cycle the timer doesn't advance forward so that the unit will start draining. I can manually advance the knob just a hair (push it in, turn it a click or two and pull the knob back out) and then the unit will start to spin/drain and it continues on with the rinse cycle and final drain/spin with no further intervention. At other times it will go through all cycles with no manual intervention at all. I suspect it's the motor timer or the timer asm washer (part number 101 and 100 respectively in the diagram below. The motor timer is only $10 and is what I had planned on replacing but wanted another opinion since the other part is over $70 I'm not sure that I'd spend that much to repair such an old unit but then again it's been a good one and I hate to replace the whole washer if it's salvageable. |

The Redskins have granted permission for their special teams coordinator, Danny Smith, to interview for the same job with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a person familiar with the situation said Monday.
The interview is scheduled to take place this week, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the Redskins had not officially commented on granting Smith permission to interview.
Smith's pending interview with the Steelers was first reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Smith, a Pittsburgh native, was not immediately available to comment.
The Redskins declined to comment through a spokesman.
The Steelers are searching for a special teams coach after Amos Jones was hired by the Arizona Cardinals.
Smith has been with the Redskins since the 2004 season. The Steelers requested to interview him three years ago but were denied.
He received criticism early in the just-completed season when the Redskins had a pair of punts blocked, that on the heels of having a league-high five field goal attempts blocked during the 2011 season. The Redskins also had issues with their field goal kicking early this past season, as kicker Billy Cundiff struggled after being signed just before the season following a training-camp competition between Graham Gano and Neil Rackers.
But the Redskins' special teams steadied themselves. The Redskins had no more punts blocked the rest of the season. Kicker Kai Forbath had a standout season after being signed to replace Cundiff, and Lorenzo Alexander was selected to the NFC Pro Bowl squad on special teams.

Where can i buy Shiseido or Nigao hair product in Bangkok?
A good place for any Japanese products is the Isetan department store in the Central World Plaza Mall, they are a Japanese owned store and carry many Japanese products. You do see Sheseido products in many other stores too.|||Nigao probably in a Japanese product shop. You find them in or near buildings catering for Japanese. Shiseido you can get a.o. in Tops Supermarkets.|||Not sure about Nigao, but Shiseido is widely available (see link ... click EN for English).

I suggest we trade #6 and next years 1st for Calvin Johnson. I just keep having the vision of us going down to dallas and lining up Calvin and Moss and it being lights out.
If CJ is an absolute no possibility... Laron Landry next to ST baby.
Brandon Lloyd did not have every opportunity. And even Joe Gibbs said that they need to get the ball to him more. In a game last year Lloyd had one catch for 50 yards and then he went right back to the sidelines.

TF53010 error and no TFS Warehouse updates after a SQL migrate 21. October 2009 Richard-Fennell Technical Tips, VSTS (0) We recently moved our central SQL server to new SAN hardware and at the same time upgraded from SQL2005 to SQL2008. Once this was done we noticed that our TFS Reports were running against old Warehouse data. Checking the TFS Application Tier event log we saw: TF53010: The following error has occurred in a Team Foundation component or extension: Date (UTC): 21/10/2009 10:27:25 Machine: TFSAT Application Domain: /LM/W3SVC/287244640/Root/Warehouse-2-129005451884971104 Assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Warehouse, Version=188.8.131.52, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a; v2.0.50727 Process Details: Process Name: w3wp Process Id: 2716 Thread Id: 2848 Account name: MYDOMAIN\TFSSERVICE Detailed Message: Cube processing runtime error: \r\nMicrosoft.TeamFoundation.Warehouse.WarehouseException: The following database is not accessible in the Analysis Server: TfsWarehouse at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Warehouse.OlapCreator.ProcessOlapNoTransaction(Boolean schemaUpdated, UpdateStatusStore updateStatus, Server server, SqlTransaction transaction) at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Warehouse.OlapCreator.ProcessOlap(Boolean schemaUpdated, UpdateStatusStore updateStatus) at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Warehouse.AdapterScheduler.RunCubeProcess() The problem was missing rights on the new 2008 Analysis Service instance. The quick fix was to give the MYDOMAIN\TFSSERVICE account administrator rights on the instance (SQL Management Studio, Connect to Analysis Service Instance, right click on instance, properties, security, add the user). Once this was done I could force a reprocess and all was OK
A video on Access 2010 21. October 2009 Richard-Fennell Sharepoint (0) I recently posted on my experiences of Access 2010, well if you want to know more have a look at the video by Clint Covington and Ryan McMinn on Channel 9
Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 release and a new licensing model 19. October 2009 Richard-Fennell VSTS (0) About 2 hours ago Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 was released to MSDN subscribers, the usual wait for the download now start! Also the revised SKU and licensing model for 2010 was made public by Brian Harry. This is meant to be simplification, but still remains fairly complex with the usually questions over 'is that in this SKU or that?' The key point for me is that the cost of entry for TFS is going to drop significantly, as the TFS server and a client CAL is included in the MSDN subscriptions with the VS Pro, Premium and Ultimate SKUs. Should break down a few barriers
Access Services in SharePoint 2010 or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Access 2010 19. October 2009 Richard-Fennell Sharepoint, Opinion (2) So what I have I been doing of late? The blog has been a bit quiet. Well I have been having a good look at Access Services in SharePoint 2010. This has been an interesting experience, as I am not historically what you might call an avid Access developer. Like most .NET developers I had looked as Access as more of a file format than an application, something from the past. Something that I might use for a small data store, maybe in a web application hosted on a cheaper ISP that does not provide 'a real' SQL DB, or where an XML data files don't seem right, often because I just can't be bothered to work out the XPATH. When using Access as a data format it seems easier to get at my data using basic hand crafted SQL commands or maybe at most via a OLEDB Data Adaptor/DataSet. All very old old school. Thinking about Access in this way just seems an easy way out, playing it safe with the knowledge I have. I don't for a second propose that this a good idea, you should not be looking at using any technology just because it is there and you already know it. There are obvious downsides, using Access in this manner meant that from the ADO.NET developer side I could not: make use of the newer lambda expression based syntax of LINQ make use of newer ORM solutions such as Entity Framework or nHibernate. But equally, by treating Access as just a data format I was not able to make use of it as the Rapid Development tool it is. I was too hung up in the unpleasant idea of an MDB sitting of a server being poor at locking and saturating the network with unwanted traffic. I was not even considering Access as a front end to a MS-SQL solution, and it is not as if that is new technology, it has been around for ages. I was just sitting happily with my prejudices. I don't think this position is that rare for .NET developers these days. Access seems just looked down upon as something old in the Office pack that is best ignored, no good would come of using it in a business environment. So enters Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Access Services, for me this changes the game. For those who don't know this technology, you can create an Access database locally on your PC then publish it to SharePoint. Tables become SharePoint lists, macros become workflows and forms well become forms. Access becomes a RAD tool to create data driven SharePoint sites. So how has this new technology been working for me? Well I can't say I have grown to love the Access client, but I think that is mostly down to that fact that I am still not thinking right for it. Access is all about data binding, you don't have to think about what form fields need to be copied to which DB columns, the wizards make a really good attempt to design forms for you based on the relationship of the tables in your DB and this just all seem unnatural to me. I think this is because I am usually working with design patterns to reduces the linkage between forms and data to a minimum e.g. the MVC pattern, and so consider this good practice; automated data binding seems seems wrong. So in Access I keep wanting to build things from first principles, but this is just not sensible. Better to let the tool get you close and then you add the polish, put away any thoughts of implementing design patterns as you would in a language such as C# or VB.NET. I think this is the key to the degree of irritation I feel with the product, if you have got used to architecting from the ground up, especially in a Test Driven Development style, you have to turn everything on it head. It feels like you are cheating, not doing the job properly. But wait! look at the benefits. A while ago I was involved in a project to provide a resource management data driven web site that was hosted within SharePoint. It contained the usual things, data entry forms, links to SQL and reports. It took a couple of weeks to build. I think I could write the same system in Access with SharePoint 2010 in an afternoon, and would be happy to have a client's business analyst sit next to me while I did it, in a pair programming style, to design the forms, report layouts and columns as I went along. For the smaller scale data driven site Access Services is a great tool, but obviously it is not perfect. I do keep hitting points where I think 'if I were in C# I could just do that' but then I remember 'yes but it would take would have taken me three days to get here not an hour'. Most project don't need that last 10-20% you can only reach on .NET custom code, the client with be far happier with 80% done quickly and flexibly rather than 95% done a lot later. Also we have to factor in my relative lack of experience with Access as a RAD tool, reducing the productivity that could potentially be achieved by a more experienced Access developer. Actually the bulk of the time I have spent has been on looking at how you can extend Access Service to reach that last 20% of functionality, and it not that hard. The key to remember is that the Access Services are just built on standard SharePoint objects. Ok there is a new service running to render the pages, but underneath there are just SharePoint lists and workflow, and where these exist there are events that you can programmatically handle. I have found that by trapping events such as ItemAdd() for the Access created SharePoint lists there is no real limit to what you can achieve via the SharePoint Object Model. And this development process is made even easier by the new Visual Studio 2010 templates for SharePoint features. If nothing else the fact that all the templates create a WSP for deployment as standard makes for far more robust feature development. There is one major difference between a standard SharePoint site and one created by Access, and it is that SharePoint Designer cannot open the Access site. I thought this would be an issue when I first heard about the limitation, but it turn out not to be. Anything you might have wanted to do in SharePoint Designer you can do quicker and easier in Access for this type of data driven site. Ok the range of things you can do is more limited, but again you get that 80% you need with much less pain. So how has my experience with Access 2010 been? Exasperating, frustrating but undeniably productive. I am not sure it is the right product for an ISV style company who want to roll out single solution to many client sites (but it could be used for this if needed via the SharePoint site template gallery); but for a smaller data driven site (with or without custom extensions) written within an IT department it is a very strong contender. Taking Access in many ways back to it roots. So if you need small data driven sites I would suggest you put aside your prejudices and have a look at the beta program for Office/SharePoint 2010, I think you will be surprised.
I'm off to Ireland this week 18. October 2009 Richard-Fennell Testing, VSTS, Events (2) I am off to present in Ireland this week in a double header with another of Black Marble's test team, Robert Hancock. We will be appearing at the Microsoft Ireland Visual Studio Academy. Our subject is Improved efficiency throughout the test cycle. As registration is still open I guess there are still spaces, so if it is of interest to you why not sign up (and who is not interested in testing?) So while many of our staff are off living it up in Las Vegas for the SharePoint conference, Robert and myself have been busy building a demo rich session for the Dublin event that touchs on a whole host of different testing tools and techniques. So we hope to see you there for what should be a very interesting session.

TF252005 Error when creating new collections on TFS 2010 Beta1 7. October 2009 Richard-Fennell Technical Tips, VSTS, Sharepoint (0) This week I tried to add a new project collection to our TFS 2010 Beta1 test system. All seemed to be going OK, the settings verified without issue but I got the error TF252005 when it tried to create the associated SharePoint site (on the WSS 3.0 instance on the TFS application tier). Now unlike TFS 2008 this was not a blocking problem. On 2008 if any team project step failed, such as the team WSS site creation, then the team project was rolled back. It is a really nice feature of 2010 that if there is an error it does try to do as much as it can. So in my case, I ended up with TFS collection with no associated SharePoint site collections, not what I wanted but usable. The detail of the error I got are shown below: [10/6/2009 9:35:57 PM][Warning] TF252005: Configuration of SharePoint Products and Technologies failed with the following error: Server was unable to process request. ---> User cannot be found.. Failed to create a path to the SharePoint site. Your account might not have the required permissions to create a sub-site on this server. [10/6/2009 9:35:57 PM] Servicing step Configure SharePoint Settings passed, with warnings. (ServicingOperation: Install; Step group: Install.TfsSharePoint) [10/6/2009 9:35:57 PM] Executing servicing step Create Test Management Database. (ServicingOperation: Install; Step group: Install.TfsTestManagement) So the question was 'what user could it not find?' Upon further investigation I found that I could not give users rights on any of the previously created SharePoint sites on this WSS instance. The SharePoint People Picker said it could not find users or groups for the domain user accounts I entered. Also I noticed that if I entered the central admin it said that all my site administrators' accounts were invalid (all underlined red in the configuration form). Basically it seemed my WSS instance could not find the domain controller. I next checked that the Reporting Services instance on the same box, this had no problems resolving accounts, so I knew it was specifically a SharePoint issue. So an investigation of SharePoint settings started. In the end it was Rik who found the root cause, and it was obvious with hindsight, the authentication provider was unset. Once this was set to Windows for all the zones everything leapt back into life. The question remains how this setting could have become unset. We did have a domain controller hardware failure last week but I cannot see why this should cause this issue. Anyway at least it is fixed now.
TFS for the small team 4. October 2009 Richard-Fennell VSTS (0) Over the weekend Brian Harry posted on this blog about a new 'Basic' edition of TFS. This is aimed squarely small team currently using Visual SourceSafe. It will provide version control with work item tracking and can be run on SQLExpress. The key difference for the 'Standard ' edition is that it will not have SharePoint or Reporting Services integration. For far fuller details check the blog post. I think this is going to be a really interesting addition to TFS. This announcement answers a question I was repeated asked at our TFS2010 event last week, 'we are a small team with VSS, I want something simple to move us forward, what should I use? TFS seems a bit complex and expensive' So for me it is well timed and well placed within the marketplace.

Speak with a Hat Expert
Se Habla Español
Of the everyday head covering worn by Europeans before the Roman occupation and beyond the boundaries of the Empire, one fascinating example may be a clue to more widespread habits, at least in the northern parts of the Continent. At Tollbund Bog near Viborg, Denmark, in 1944, the body of a man was discovered in almost perfect condition, preserved by the bog water for 2000 years. He was wearing a cap sewn from eight or nine pieces of leather with fur side inmost and conical rather than dome-shaped, crown with a band along the lower edge and a chin strap. The head and shoulders of this man, who still wears his cap, can be seen in the National Museum at Copenhagen.

Franchise QB contracts have cap hits in the $15m-$21m range (salaries in the $13m-$17m range and prorated signing bonuses of $3m-$6m/yr). The new slew of contracts are going to be even higher.
Printable View
Here are the details of Eli's contract:
Remember, the balloons you see towards the end are largely the result of restructuring.
Current Salary Information
Contract: 7 yr(s) / $106,900,000 Signing Bonus $13,000,000 Average Salary $15,271,429 End Year: 2015 Free Agent: 2016 / Unrestricted

Again...what was Flacco making this season? What was Kaepernick making this season?
Is it your view that only a handful of teams, who's QB's are making $20MM (or close to it) are the only teams with a chance to win the SB?
If the answer is yes, then I strongly disagree.
If the answer is no, then you agree with Morehead.........Oh the humanity!!!!
Exactly, his salary is this because he did the team a favor and restructured twice. It makes the whole discussion silly. His salary wasn't supposed to be 20mil. They put money off, to free up cap space in previous years. Essentially, they are paying him this year for money he was due, in previous years. That's what happens when you restructure.
For a two time Champion it's not bad, but they need him to be the 2011 Eli more than the 2012 Eli. If so, no one will care he is making that much.

Apple, Brie and Arugala Quesadillas
Yesterday it was in the 70's all day!! We celebrated by spending the whole day outside - playdate at the park, lunch at a roadside shake stand, and then after a quick nap we went to a wildlife refuge and walked some trails. Then we decided to extend the day by pulling out the grill for dinner! We finally sucked it up and sprayed our yard with a massive amount of toxic chemicals, so no more bugs!! We live only a block from the river, and so mosquitoes had literally taken over our yard. Just stepping out the door to get the mail cost you a pint of blood and 7 new bites.
I put up with it for 3 whole months, tried all the natural bug repellents, the "nice" way of doing things; but eventually I just got irritated. Poor Ladybug was just covered in bug bites and scratches, the dogs were itching, we were itching... It was time for intervention. A toxic chemical intervention. Now we can actually sit outside and enjoy our porch! Which is awesome since its been SO nice out! I normally hate using chemicals like that, but enough already, you know?
These quesadillas are the perfect lunch. They are quick and simple to make, yet healthy and delicious, too! And they are an awesome change from the PB&J and mac and cheese that we normally eat for lunch. I really loved these - they seem sophisticated and fancy, but were so easy to make!
Brie, Apple, and Arugula Quesadillas (Cooking Light, October 2010)
1 TBSP Dijon Mustard
2 tsp apple cider
3 10" flour tortillas
6 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into 1/4" thick slices
1 Fuji apple, cored and sliced into 1/4" thick slices
3 cups arugula
3/4 tsp pepper
In a small bowl combine the dijon mustard and the apple cider.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread each tortilla with 1/2 tsp of the mustard mixture and sprinkle 1/4 tsp pepper on top.
Place the tortilla, mustard side up, on the skillet.
Arrange 1/3 of the cheese slices over half the tortilla and cook for 1 minute, or just until the cheese starts to melt.
Arrange 1/3 of the apple slices over the cheese.
Top the apples with 1 cup of arugula.
Carefully fold the tortilla in half and gently press with the spatula.
Cook 2 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Cut the tortilla into 4 wedges.
Repeat with the remaining 2 tortillas.

Here we go again… This is about Noelia's ex, Jorge Reynoso publishing an explicit footage called "Noelia on video naked and in action" on his website. He even made a "limited time offer" to his visitors, so that they can watch it for $4.99. He, he…what a great marketer… There is another character involved in this story, Noelia's dad, Topy Mamery. Topy was quite concerned about this "despicable act"; however, he also said that his daughter is entitled to claim the profits. I wonder what percentage of $4.99 she is entitled to claim in royalties. Imagine your own dad saying that?
Wanda Nara and Karen Dejo (the trend started by Pammy)
Just as I thought to take a day off from the computer screen, a couple of news stories popped up, which really made me smile (smirk?). Two Latin American celebrities, Wanda Nara and Karen Dejo happen to be involved in a sex tape scandal. I bet not many people heard of these girls before. However, many remember a very similar story, which happened to Pamela Anderson some years ago. I guess, finally this trend caught up in Argentina and Peru. We applaud you Pammy for being a true A-Lister!:))

The SCENE lies first near OLIVER'S house; afterwards partly in the Usurper's court and partly in the Forest of Arden.
SCENE I. An Orchard near OLIVER'S house
[Enter ORLANDO and ADAM.]
As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion, - bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand crowns, and, as thou say'st, charged my brother, on his blessing, to breed me well: and there begins my sadness. My brother Jaques he keeps at school, and report speaks goldenly of his profit: for my part, he keeps me rustically at home, or, to speak more properly, stays me here at home unkept: for call you that keeping for a gentleman of my birth that differs not from the stalling of an ox? His horses are bred better; for, besides that they are fair with their feeding, they are taught their manage, and to that end riders dearly hired; but I, his brother, gain nothing under him but growth; for the which his animals on his dunghills are as much bound to him as I. Besides this nothing that he so plentifully gives me, the something that nature gave me, his countenance seems to take from me: he lets me feed with his hinds, bars me the place of a brother, and as much as in him lies, mines my gentility with my education. This is it, Adam, that grieves me; and the spirit of my father, which I think is within me, begins to mutiny against this servitude; I will no longer endure it, though yet I know no wise remedy how to avoid it.
Yonder comes my master, your brother.
Go apart, Adam, and thou shalt hear how he will shake me up.
[ADAM retires]
[Enter OLIVER.]
Now, sir! what make you here?
Nothing: I am not taught to make anything.
OLIVER What mar you then, sir?
Marry, sir, I am helping you to mar that which God made, a poor unworthy brother of yours, with idleness.
Marry, sir, be better employed, and be naught awhile.
Shall I keep your hogs, and eat husks with them? What prodigal portion have I spent that I should come to such penury?
Know you where you are, sir?
O, sir, very well: here in your orchard.
Know you before whom, sir?
Ay, better than him I am before knows me. I know you are my eldest brother: and in the gentle condition of blood, you should so know me. The courtesy of nations allows you my better in that you are the first-born; but the same tradition takes not away my blood, were there twenty brothers betwixt us: I have as much of my father in me as you, albeit; I confess, your coming before me is nearer to his reverence.
What, boy!
Come, come, elder brother, you are too young in this.
Wilt thou lay hands on me, villain?
I am no villain: I am the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Bois: he was my father; and he is thrice a villain that says such a father begot villains. Wert thou not my brother, I would not take this hand from thy throat till this other had pulled out thy tongue for saying so: thou has railed on thyself.
[Coming forward] Sweet masters, be patient; for your father's remembrance, be at accord.
Let me go, I say.
I will not, till I please: you shall hear me. My father charged you in his will to give me good education: you have trained me like a peasant, obscuring and hiding from me all gentleman-like qualities: the spirit of my father grows strong in me, and I will no longer endure it: therefore, allow me such exercises as may become a gentleman, or give me the poor allottery my father left me by testament; with that I will go buy my fortunes.
And what wilt thou do? beg, when that is spent? Well, sir, get you in; I will not long be troubled with you: you shall have some part of your will: I pray you leave me.
I no further offend you than becomes me for my good.
Get you with him, you old dog.
Is "old dog" my reward? Most true, I have lost my teeth in your service. - God be with my old master! he would not have spoke such a word.
[Exeunt ORLANDO and ADAM.]
Is it even so? begin you to grow upon me? I will physic your rankness, and yet give no thousand crowns neither. Holla, Dennis!
[Enter DENNIS.]
Calls your worship?
Was not Charles, the duke's wrestler, here to speak with me?
So please you, he is here at the door and importunes access to you.
Call him in.
[Exit DENNIS.]
- 'Twill be a good way; and to-morrow the wrestling is.
[Enter CHARLES.]
Good morrow to your worship.
Good Monsieur Charles! - what's the new news at the new court?
There's no news at the court, sir, but the old news; that is, the old duke is banished by his younger brother the new duke; and three or four loving lords have put themselves into voluntary exile with him, whose lands and revenues enrich the new duke; therefore he gives them good leave to wander.
Can you tell if Rosalind, the duke's daughter, be banished with her father?
O, no; for the duke's daughter, her cousin, so loves her, - being ever from their cradles bred together, - that she would have followed her exile, or have died to stay behind her. She is at the court, and no less beloved of her uncle than his own daughter; and never two ladies loved as they do.
Where will the old duke live?
They say he is already in the Forest of Arden, and a many merry men with him; and there they live like the old Robin Hood of England: they say many young gentlemen flock to him every day, and fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.
What, you wrestle to-morrow before the new duke?
Marry, do I, sir; and I came to acquaint you with a matter. I am given, sir, secretly to understand that your younger brother, Orlando, hath a disposition to come in disguis'd against me to try a fall. To-morrow, sir, I wrestle for my credit; and he that escapes me without some broken limb shall acquit him well. Your brother is but young and tender; and, for your love, I would be loath to foil him, as I must, for my own honour, if he come in: therefore, out of my love to you, I came hither to acquaint you withal; that either you might stay him from his intendment, or brook such disgrace well as he shall run into; in that it is thing of his own search, and altogether against my will.
Charles, I thank thee for thy love to me, which thou shalt find I will most kindly requite. I had myself notice of my brother's purpose herein, and have by underhand means laboured to dissuade him from it; but he is resolute. I'll tell thee, Charles, it is the stubbornest young fellow of France; full of ambition, an envious emulator of every man's good parts, a secret and villainous contriver against me his natural brother: therefore use thy discretion: I had as lief thou didst break his neck as his finger. And thou wert best look to't; for if thou dost him any slight disgrace, or if he do not mightily grace himself on thee, he will practise against thee by poison, entrap thee by some treacherous device, and never leave thee till he hath ta'en thy life by some indirect means or other: for, I assure thee, and almost with tears I speak it, there is not one so young and so villainous this day living. I speak but brotherly of him; but should I anatomize him to thee as he is, I must blush and weep, and thou must look pale and wonder.
I am heartily glad I came hither to you. If he come to-morrow I'll give him his payment. If ever he go alone again I'll never wrestle for prize more: and so, God keep your worship!
Farewell, good Charles. - Now will I stir this gamester: I hope I shall see an end of him: for my soul, yet I know not why, hates nothing more than he. Yet he's gentle; never schooled and yet learned; full of noble device; of all sorts enchantingly beloved; and, indeed, so much in the heart of the world, and especially of my own people, who best know him, that I am altogether misprised: but it shall not be so long; this wrestler shall clear all: nothing remains but that I kindle the boy thither, which now I'll go about.
SCENE II. A Lawn before the DUKE'S Palace
[Enter ROSALIND and CELIA.]
I pray thee, Rosalind, sweet my coz, be merry.
Dear Celia, I show more mirth than I am mistress of; and would you yet I were merrier? Unless you could teach me to forget a banished father, you must not learn me how to remember any extraordinary pleasure.
Herein I see thou lov'st me not with the full weight that I love thee; if my uncle, thy banished father, had banished thy uncle, the duke my father, so thou hadst been still with me, I could have taught my love to take thy father for mine; so wouldst thou, if the truth of thy love to me were so righteously tempered as mine is to thee.
Well, I will forget the condition of my estate, to rejoice in yours.
You know my father hath no child but I, nor none is like to have; and, truly, when he dies thou shalt be his heir: for what he hath taken away from thy father perforce, I will render thee again in affection: by mine honour, I will; and when I break that oath, let me turn monster; therefore, my sweet Rose, my dear Rose, be merry.
From henceforth I will, coz, and devise sports: let me see; what think you of falling in love?
Marry, I pr'ythee, do, to make sport withal: but love no man in good earnest, nor no further in sport neither than with safety of a pure blush thou mayst in honour come off again.
What shall be our sport, then?
Let us sit and mock the good housewife Fortune from her wheel, that her gifts may henceforth be bestowed equally.
I would we could do so; for her benefits are mightily misplaced: and the bountiful blind woman doth most mistake in her gifts to women.
'Tis true; for those that she makes fair she scarce makes honest; and those that she makes honest she makes very ill-favouredly.
Nay; now thou goest from Fortune's office to Nature's: Fortune reigns in gifts of the world, not in the lineaments of Nature.
No; when Nature hath made a fair creature, may she not by Fortune fall into the fire? - Though Nature hath given us wit to flout at Fortune, hath not Fortune sent in this fool to cut off the argument?
[Enter TOUCHSTONE.]
Indeed, there is Fortune too hard for Nature, when Fortune makes Nature's natural the cutter-off of Nature's wit.
Peradventure this is not Fortune's work neither, but Nature's, who perceiveth our natural wits too dull to reason of such goddesses, and hath sent this natural for our whetstone: for always the dullness of the fool is the whetstone of the wits. - How now, wit? whither wander you?
Mistress, you must come away to your father.
Were you made the messenger?
No, by mine honour; but I was bid to come for you.
Where learned you that oath, fool?
Of a certain knight that swore by his honour they were good pancakes, and swore by his honour the mustard was naught: now, I'll stand to it, the pancakes were naught and the mustard was good: and yet was not the knight forsworn.
How prove you that, in the great heap of your knowledge?
Ay, marry; now unmuzzle your wisdom.
Stand you both forth now: stroke your chins, and swear by your beards that I am a knave.
By our beards, if we had them, thou art.
By my knavery, if I had it, then I were: but if you swear by that that is not, you are not forsworn: no more was this knight, swearing by his honour, for he never had any; or if he had, he had sworn it away before ever he saw those pancackes or that mustard.
Pr'ythee, who is't that thou mean'st?
One that old Frederick, your father, loves.
My father's love is enough to honour him enough: speak no more of him: you'll be whipp'd for taxation one of these days.
The more pity that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly.
By my troth, thou sayest true: for since the little wit that fools have was silenced, the little foolery that wise men have makes a great show. Here comes Monsieur Le Beau.
With his mouth full of news.
Which he will put on us as pigeons feed their young.
Then shall we be news-crammed.
All the better; we shall be the more marketable.
[Enter LE BEAU.]
Bon jour, Monsieur Le Beau. What's the news?
Fair princess, you have lost much good sport.
Sport! of what colour?
What colour, madam? How shall I answer you?
As wit and fortune will.
Or as the destinies decrees.
CELIA Well said: that was laid on with a trowel.
Nay, if I keep not my rank, -
Thou losest thy old smell.
You amaze me, ladies; I would have told you of good wrestling, which you have lost the sight of.
Yet tell us the manner of the wrestling.
I will tell you the beginning, and, if it please your ladyships, you may see the end; for the best is yet to do; and here, where you are, they are coming to perform it.
Well, - the beginning, that is dead and buried.
There comes an old man and his three sons, -
I could match this beginning with an old tale.
Three proper young men, of excellent growth and presence, with bills on their necks, -
"Be it known unto all men by these presents," -
The eldest of the three wrestled with Charles, the duke's wrestler; which Charles in a moment threw him, and broke three of his ribs, that there is little hope of life in him: so he served the second, and so the third. Yonder they lie; the poor old man, their father, making such pitiful dole over them that all the beholders take his part with weeping.
But what is the sport, monsieur, that the ladies have lost?
Why, this that I speak of.
Thus men may grow wiser every day! It is the first time that ever I heard breaking of ribs was sport for ladies.
Or I, I promise thee.
But is there any else longs to see this broken music in his sides? is there yet another dotes upon rib-breaking? - Shall we see this wrestling, cousin?
You must, if you stay here: for here is the place appointed for the wrestling, and they are ready to perform it.
Yonder, sure, they are coming: let us now stay and see it.
[Flourish. Enter DUKE FREDERICK, Lords, ORLANDO, CHARLES, and Attendants.]
Come on; since the youth will not be entreated, his own peril on his forwardness.
Is yonder the man?
Even he, madam.
Alas, he is too young: yet he looks successfully.
How now, daughter and cousin? are you crept hither to see the wrestling?
Ay, my liege; so please you give us leave.
You will take little delight in it, I can tell you, there is such odds in the men. In pity of the challenger's youth I would fain dissuade him, but he will not be entreated. Speak to him, ladies; see if you can move him.
Call him hither, good Monsieur Le Beau.
Do so; I'll not be by.
[DUKE FREDERICK goes apart.]
Monsieur the challenger, the princesses call for you.
I attend them with all respect and duty.
Young man, have you challenged Charles the wrestler?
No, fair princess; he is the general challenger: I come but in, as others do, to try with him the strength of my youth.
Young gentleman, your spirits are too bold for your years. You have seen cruel proof of this man's strength: if you saw yourself with your eyes, or knew yourself with your judgment, the fear of your adventure would counsel you to a more equal enterprise. We pray you, for your own sake, to embrace your own safety and give over this attempt.
Do, young sir; your reputation shall not therefore be misprised: we will make it our suit to the duke that the wrestling might not go forward.
I beseech you, punish me not with your hard thoughts: wherein I confess me much guilty to deny so fair and excellent ladies anything. But let your fair eyes and gentle wishes go with me to my trial: wherein if I be foiled there is but one shamed that was never gracious; if killed, but one dead that is willing to be so: I shall do my friends no wrong, for I have none to lament me: the world no injury, for in it I have nothing; only in the world I fill up a place, which may be better supplied when I have made it empty.
The little strength that I have, I would it were with you.
And mine to eke out hers.
Fare you well. Pray heaven, I be deceived in you!
Your heart's desires be with you.
Come, where is this young gallant that is so desirous to lie with his mother earth?
Ready, sir; but his will hath in it a more modest working.
You shall try but one fall.
No; I warrant your grace, you shall not entreat him to a second, that have so mightily persuaded him from a first.
You mean to mock me after; you should not have mocked me before; but come your ways.
Now, Hercules be thy speed, young man!
I would I were invisible, to catch the strong fellow by the leg.
[CHARLES and ORLANDO wrestle.]
O excellent young man!
If I had a thunderbolt in mine eye, I can tell who should down.
[CHARLES is thrown. Shout.]
No more, no more.
Yes, I beseech your grace; I am not yet well breathed.
How dost thou, Charles?
He cannot speak, my lord.
Bear him away.
[CHARLES is borne out.]
What is thy name, young man?
Orlando, my liege; the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Bois.
I would thou hadst been son to some man else.
The world esteem'd thy father honourable,
But I did find him still mine enemy:
Thou shouldst have better pleas'd me with this deed
Hadst thou descended from another house.
But fare thee well; thou art a gallant youth;
I would thou hadst told me of another father.
[Exeunt DUKE FREDERICK, Train, and LE BEAU.]
Were I my father, coz, would I do this?
I am more proud to be Sir Rowland's son,
His youngest son; - and would not change that calling
To be adopted heir to Frederick.
My father loved Sir Rowland as his soul,
And all the world was of my father's mind:
Had I before known this young man his son,
I should have given him tears unto entreaties
Ere he should thus have ventur'd.
Gentle cousin,
Let us go thank him, and encourage him:
My father's rough and envious disposition
Sticks me at heart. - Sir, you have well deserv'd:
If you do keep your promises in love
But justly, as you have exceeded promise,
Your mistress shall be happy.
[Giving him a chain from her neck.]
Wear this for me; one out of suits with fortune,
That could give more, but that her hand lacks means. -
Shall we go, coz?
Ay. - Fare you well, fair gentleman.
Can I not say, I thank you? My better parts
Are all thrown down; and that which here stands up
Is but a quintain, a mere lifeless block.
He calls us back: my pride fell with my fortunes:
I'll ask him what he would. - Did you call, sir? -
Sir, you have wrestled well, and overthrown
More than your enemies.
Will you go, coz?
Have with you. - Fare you well.
[Exeunt ROSALIND and CELIA.]
What passion hangs these weights upon my tongue?
I cannot speak to her, yet she urg'd conference.
O poor Orlando! thou art overthrown:
Or Charles, or something weaker, masters thee.
[Re-enter LE BEAU.]
Good sir, I do in friendship counsel you
To leave this place. Albeit you have deserv'd
High commendation, true applause, and love,
Yet such is now the duke's condition,
That he miscónstrues all that you have done.
The Duke is humorous; what he is, indeed,
More suits you to conceive than I to speak of.
I thank you, sir: and pray you tell me this;
Which of the two was daughter of the duke
That here was at the wrestling?
Neither his daughter, if we judge by manners;
But yet, indeed, the smaller is his daughter:
The other is daughter to the banish'd duke,
And here detain'd by her usurping uncle,
To keep his daughter company; whose loves
Are dearer than the natural bond of sisters.
But I can tell you that of late this duke
Hath ta'en displeasure 'gainst his gentle niece,
Grounded upon no other argument
But that the people praise her for her virtues
And pity her for her good father's sake;
And, on my life, his malice 'gainst the lady
Will suddenly break forth. - Sir, fare you well!
Hereafter, in a better world than this,
I shall desire more love and knowledge of you.
I rest much bounden to you: fare you well!
[Exit LE BEAU.]
Thus must I from the smoke into the smother;
From tyrant duke unto a tyrant brother: -
But heavenly Rosalind!
SCENE III. A Room in the Palace
[Enter CELIA and ROSALIND.]
Why, cousin; why, Rosalind; - Cupid have mercy! - Not a word?
Not one to throw at a dog.
No, thy words are too precious to be cast away upon curs, throw some of them at me; come, lame me with reasons.
Then there were two cousins laid up; when the one should be lamed with reasons and the other mad without any.
But is all this for your father?
No, some of it is for my child's father. O, how full of briers is this working-day world!
They are but burs, cousin, thrown upon thee in holiday foolery; if we walk not in the trodden paths, our very petticoats will catch them.
I could shake them off my coat: these burs are in my heart.
Hem them away.
I would try, if I could cry hem and have him.
Come, come, wrestle with thy affections.
O, they take the part of a better wrestler than myself.
O, a good wish upon you! you will try in time, in despite of a fall. - But, turning these jests out of service, let us talk in good earnest: is it possible, on such a sudden, you should fall into so strong a liking with old Sir Rowland's youngest son?
The duke my father loved his father dearly.
Doth it therefore ensue that you should love his son dearly? By this kind of chase I should hate him, for my father hated his father dearly; yet I hate not Orlando.
No, 'faith, hate him not, for my sake.
Why should I not? doth he not deserve well?
Let me love him for that; and do you love him because I do. - Look, here comes the duke.
With his eyes full of anger.
[Enter DUKE FREDERICK, with Lords.]
Mistress, despatch you with your safest haste,
And get you from our court.
Me, uncle?
You, cousin:
Within these ten days if that thou be'st found
So near our public court as twenty miles,
Thou diest for it.
I do beseech your grace,
Let me the knowledge of my fault bear with me:
If with myself I hold intelligence,
Or have acquaintance with mine own desires;
If that I do not dream, or be not frantic, -
As I do trust I am not, - then, dear uncle,
Never so much as in a thought unborn
Did I offend your highness.
Thus do all traitors;
If their purgation did consist in words,
They are as innocent as grace itself: -
Let it suffice thee that I trust thee not.
Yet your mistrust cannot make me a traitor:
Tell me whereon the likelihood depends.
Thou art thy father's daughter; there's enough.
So was I when your highness took his dukedom;
So was I when your highness banish'd him:
Treason is not inherited, my lord:
Or, if we did derive it from our friends,
What's that to me? my father was no traitor!
Then, good my liege, mistake me not so much
To think my poverty is treacherous.
Dear sovereign, hear me speak.
Ay, Celia: we stay'd her for your sake,
Else had she with her father rang'd along.
I did not then entreat to have her stay;
It was your pleasure, and your own remorse:
I was too young that time to value her;
But now I know her: if she be a traitor,
Why so am I: we still have slept together,
Rose at an instant, learn'd, play'd, eat together;
And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans,
Still we went coupled and inseparable.
She is too subtle for thee; and her smoothness,
Her very silence, and her patience
Speak to the people, and they pity her.
Thou art a fool: she robs thee of thy name;
And thou wilt show more bright and seem more virtuous
When she is gone: then open not thy lips;
Firm and irrevocable is my doom
Which I have pass'd upon her; - she is banish'd.
Pronounce that sentence, then, on me, my liege:
I cannot live out of her company.
You are a fool. - You, niece, provide yourself:
If you outstay the time, upon mine honour,
And in the greatness of my word, you die.
[Exeunt DUKE FREDERICK and Lords.]
O my poor Rosalind! whither wilt thou go?
Wilt thou change fathers? I will give thee mine.
I charge thee be not thou more griev'd than I am.
I have more cause.
Thou hast not, cousin;
Pr'ythee be cheerful: know'st thou not the duke
Hath banish'd me, his daughter?
That he hath not.
No! hath not? Rosalind lacks, then, the love
Which teacheth thee that thou and I am one:
Shall we be sund'red? shall we part, sweet girl?
No; let my father seek another heir.
Therefore devise with me how we may fly,
Whither to go, and what to bear with us:
And do not seek to take your charge upon you,
To bear your griefs yourself, and leave me out;
For, by this heaven, now at our sorrows pale,
Say what thou canst, I'll go along with thee.
Why, whither shall we go?
To seek my uncle in the Forest of Arden.
Alas! what danger will it be to us,
Maids as we are, to travel forth so far?
Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold.
I'll put myself in poor and mean attire,
And with a kind of umber smirch my face;
The like do you; so shall we pass along,
And never stir assailants.
Were it not better,
Because that I am more than common tall,
That I did suit me all points like a man?
A gallant curtle-axe upon my thigh,
A boar spear in my hand; and, - in my heart
Lie there what hidden woman's fear there will, -
We'll have a swashing and a martial outside,
As many other mannish cowards have
That do outface it with their semblances.
What shall I call thee when thou art a man?
I'll have no worse a name than Jove's own page,
And, therefore, look you call me Ganymede.
But what will you be call'd?
Something that hath a reference to my state:
No longer Celia, but Aliena.
But, cousin, what if we assay'd to steal
The clownish fool out of your father's court?
Would he not be a comfort to our travel?
He'll go along o'er the wide world with me;
Leave me alone to woo him. Let's away,
And get our jewels and our wealth together;
Devise the fittest time and safest way
To hide us from pursuit that will be made
After my flight. Now go we in content
To liberty, and not to banishment.

Los Angeles, Jan 27 (IANS) Singer Justin Bieber, who recently parted ways with his on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez, is unhappy these days.
"I am not in the happiest place that I have ever been," Bieber said in an interview to Billboard magazine, reports contactmusic.com.
The 18-year-old Canadian singer tweeted a photo of his cover for the magazine on Friday with the caption "tried to be honest".
The interview comes ahead of the release of his new album "Believe Acoustic", which is said to include lots of songs about his break-up from Gomez. It is coming out Tuesday.
The two parted ways in December last year.
Bieber is said to be desperate to be back with Gomez. However, she has reportedly moved on after telling friends that Birber was too needy for her.

.. to blog. to ramble. to think. to figure.
I stopped blogging i don't know how long ago. It was fun - only to be replaced by newer forms of communicating to a target audience. Having made the mistake of discarding the blog I have come to realize there is a positive to throwing one's ideas out there and see what comes back.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The same time of year when many of us engage in the ritual of spring cleaning around the house is good for sprucing up your finances too.
Today marks the end of the first quarter of 2011 so shortly you'll be getting investment reports. It's also the time of year when you have either just filed your taxes or are about to.
Either way, says Joel Steele of Steele Financial Solutions, all of this information is within easy reach for re-evaluation. He recommends consulting a professional for what amounts to a financial physical.
"When you go see a doctor, the doctor's goal is to make sure you feel good and that things are where they're supposed to be and that you're happy and healthy — it's the same thing for finances," he says. "The goal is that you're in good shape. The reality is, most people are not in good shape financially."
Steele says common mistakes are not paying yourself first and over-diversification to the point you don't know where your money is or why.

Green Party Press Release:
WASHINGTON, DC — The Green Party made several advances in state, county, and local races, with a new legislator in Arkansas and several new city councilors.
"We congratulate our winners and we thank all of our candidates for running strong Green campaigns, from our presidential ticket to our state and local contenders," said Budd Dickinson, , co-chair of the Green Party of the United States.
At least 312 Greens ran for public office in 2012, with at least 20 victories on Nov. 6. In total, 381,225 votes were cast across the U.S. for Green candidates running for the House of Representatives. Another 205,739 votes were cast for Green U.S. Senate candidates. A list of Green victors and candidates achieving noteworthy percentages in state and local races (reported as of Thursday afternoon) is appended below.
Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala, the Green Party presidential and vice-presidential nominees, drew 396,684 votes, or 0.3% of the national total.
"While we wish Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala drew a larger percentage, we know that their numbers were a result of the tight race between President Obama and Gov. Romney, which the media declared neck-and-neck in polls up until Election Day. The Stein-Honkala campaign team, led by campaign manager Ben Manski, did an outstanding job and pushed our presidential campaigns up to a new level of sophistication, organization, and media attention. Dr. Stein and Ms. Honkala were on 85% of ballots across the U.S. and they qualified for matching funds from the FEC," said AJ Segneri, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States.
"Dr. Stein's performance in several presidential debates — excluding the Obama-Romney confrontations, from which she was barred — was consistently outstanding. We're certain that if more Americans had seen these debates, Dr. Stein would have received many more votes," said Mr. Segneri.
Dr. Stein's and Ms. Honkala's numbers are more than twice the total of votes that Green nominees Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente drew in 2008 (161,195) and three times the total of votes that the Green Party's David Cobb and Pat LaMarche drew in 2004 (119,859). The 2008 numbers were a 59% increase in the popular vote over 2004, and the 2012 numbers show a 146% increase in the popular vote over 2008.

"Thank You" statements from Green candidates: http://www.gp.org/candidates/Thank-You-Statements.php
Jill Stein For President web site: http://www.jillstein.org
• Fred Smith — a former Harlem Globetrotter — ran unopposed for Arkansas State Representative (District 50: Crawfordsville) after a court ordered the votes of the Democrat to not be counted and is now a Green state legislator. (See http://www.greenpartywatch.org/2012/11/07/fred-smith-elected-to-arkansas-state-house-on-green-party-ticket/ and http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/a-former-globetrotter-wins-election-by-globetrotter-like-margin/)
• Connecticut Greens are reporting that some poll officials in their state "told voters they could not write in candidates for President or/and that their write-in vote would not be counted" when they tried to enter a write-in vote for Jill Stein, as well as two-hour waits to vote (http://www.gp.org/press/pr-state.php?ID=568). Connecticut Green Party leader Tim McKee said that "when he asked a New Britain voting official to see the State's list of approved write-in candidates, at first they refused, and then they threatened him with arrest. The list was finally produced but did not list the party affiliation of Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for President."
• Ursula Rozum, Green candidate for the U.S. House in New York (District 24: Syracuse), managed to hold on to 8% (third place) in a three way race for Congress that was one of the most intensely contested in the country. (See http://www.9wsyr.com/political/story/Rozum-Green-Party-will-continue-to-gain-momentum/CQzKiIo7DUylTG1AXKm73Q.cspx)
• The DC Statehood Green Party remains Washington DC's "Second Party" in numbers of votes received in partisan races, with a total of 81,705 votes compared to 63,693 votes cast for Republican candidates. In all D.C. races, Democrats placed first (see http://www.voteresults.org/default1112.asp).
• Among this election's candidates was veteran political activist Bob Auerbach, who ran for the U.S. House in Maryland (District 5) at the age of 91 — the oldest Green candidate ever.
• The states with the greatest number of Green candidates was Texas: at least 41. California Greens won seven races out of 22 on November 6 and 14 out of 40 in from August to November, with seven victories in 18 races for Neighborhood Council in Los Angeles (http://www.cagreens.org/elections/2012-november).
• Greens praised the passage on Tuesday of ballot measures for same-sex marriage rights in Maine and Maryland, measures in Colorado and Washington allowing marijuana use by adults, and a medical marijuana referendum in Massachusetts. The Maryland Green Party was a member of the Marylanders for Marriage Equality coalition, the main group working in support of Question 6.
Green Party leaders hoped that the White House, which stepped up raids on medical marijuana facilities during President Obama's first term, would not target these states or citizens within these states for using marijuana.

From Christianity and Islam to the LRA: five stories on Africa you really shouldn't miss
The antigenocide group the Enough Project gathered five stories on human rights trends in Africa, from a book review on religious faultlines in Africa to a barge ride down the Congo River.
Nairobi, Kenya — Here at Enough, we often swap emails with interesting articles and feature stories that we come across in our favorite publications and on our favorite websites. We wanted to share some of these stories with you as part of our effort to keep you up to date on what you need to know in the world of anti-genocide and crimes against humanity work.
Journalist and poet Eliza Griswold recently came out with a new book, The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam, that traces personal stories of believers across Africa and Asia. Maggie Fick reviewed the book for Religion Dispatches magazine online, and wove some of her experiences working in east Africa into her commentary.
The French humanitarian aid organization Premiere Urgence published a slideshow of photos from Bas Uele, Congo, an area frequently targeted by the Lord's Resistance Army. As Enough's own field staff have highlighted in recent reports, the region has become a haven for the LRA militia because of its remote location; the inaccessibility has also prevented many media reports on the suffering. This series of photos and accompanying narration (in French) gives a rare glimpse of life there.
Time magazine also turned a spotlight on the LRA, this time in a community in southern Sudan where the militia has frequently launched attacks. Reporter Alan Boswell wrote about speculation over the changing nature of the rebel movement, now over two decades old.
A team from National Public Radio created this impressive multimedia piece about the Congo River that makes arc through the country before passing through the capital and flowing out to the Atlantic. The writing, photos, and audio follow the journey of a barge downriver – a trek that this time takes a month – to illustrate how "the way of life along the water route in many ways mirrors Congo's checkered fortunes."
The Nation is running an expose on the history of human rights by Columbia University professor Samuel Moyn, on newsstands now. Great weekend reading. (HT: Wronging Rights)

Throughout history
man has marveled
at the vast complexity
of the universe.
Without a single
unified voice
humanity has been left
searching for answers
to the unknown.
One man

to change that
and to spread his voice
across the earth

Fe'm cardeau yon ti gout dlo. This is what I heard every single day for the last week. Please give me a gift of water... It's crazy how water is seen as a gift to some....
Last week I along with 15 other people took a journey to my motherland, Haiti. I would first like to say that I couldn't have gone with a better group of people. I think this is an experience that will bond us forever.
Before we arrived in Haiti we spent the night in the Dominican Republic. The experience there was great. The next morning we took a bus ride into Haiti and as we approached the border, it was like we entered into a whole new world... It's crazy to me that this is literally one island. We crossed no bridge, we just crossed a check point and boom we were in Haiti.
Going down the bumpy dirt road I saw faces of impoverished people bathing in the same water they clean and cook with. Ironically enough the picturesque view of mountains and ocean were beautiful, but the sight of people living in these conditions were heart wrenching.
As we approached Port-au-Prince it didn't seem all that bad. I knew it was a poor country, the television had prepared me for the shacks and the tent cities.... So I thought. We didn't spend long in PAP that day. It was only a pit stop to where we would actually be working. A town called Cabaret.
