Out Jewing even the noble Lord
On Desert Island Discs last week the castaway rejected the New Testament and asked for just the Torah. Hatikvah was her favourite record. She also took the theme song from the film Exodus. The castaway wasn't a Berkowitz from Stamford Hill but Julie Burchill, Britain's most provocative newspaper columnist, non-Jewish , originally from Bristol.
A delve into the programme's archive turns up many Jewish castaways: politicians, actors, musicians, philosophers, lawyers. How many of them could build a hut? I imagine the great sculptor Sir Anthony Caro could but the Jewish way - getting a man in - is not an option on a desert island.
Rabbi Hugo Gryn, deploying the old joke, said he would spend his time building two shuls - the one he went to and the one one he wouldn't go to. That would have been a kindness to Lord Sacks, who certainly avoided Rabbi Gryn's London synagogue (to his cost). Sacks had been dispatched islandwards three years previously (presumably to a different island).
Shirley Porter, former leader of Westminster Council, was transported before she became submerged in political scandal but perhaps she knew there was trouble ahead - her book was the SAS Survival Manual, her luxury a big Swiss army knife.
One of Jerry Springer's records was the Beatles' Here Comes the Sun; his luxury was a cheeseburger machine. Loyd Grossman's favourite record was Cindy Lauper singing Girls Just Want To Have Fun (he must know that isn't true in real life but, alone on an island, you can dream).
Vidal Sassoon was on twice, 41 years apart. His luxury the first time was a piece of sculpture; the second time he asked for just a dozen bottles of Vidal Sassoon shampoo (maybe he didn't want to run down stocks). The poet and lyricist Fran Landesman took cannabis seeds as her luxury; Mike Leigh took a lavatory and luxury lavatory paper, so did Miriam Margolyes - relief comes in many forms.
Oh yes, there are lots of Jewish islands out there. The very first castaway in 1942 was the comedian Vic Oliver. I stopped counting when I reached a hundred. There were his and hers islands for Maureen Lipman and Jack Rosenthal, father and daughter islands for Nigel and Nigella Lawson.
Eleven castaways included Kol Nidrei in their eight records but only the bandleader Joe Loss chose it as his favourite, even above his own orchestra playing his theme tune In The Mood. But Julie Burchill has out-Jewed them all.
Hatikvah didn't turn up very much though it was among the choices of another non-Jew, the journalist Robert Fisk, one of Israel's sternest critics. He first heard it while watching Israeli veterans attending a memorial day at El Alamein and loved it. But he chose it with these words: "if only the Israeli government could behave with the same dignity and integrity as this piece of music."

Dear Sadhana,
Your Italian is perfecto as I have been able to get your message. Thank you for writing your feedback & your visit to Tuscana Pizzeria. I look forward to your continued visits.
The Panna Cotta is really to die for & I agree with you. To me Panna Cotta is a acquired taste & during 2009, 2010 the Tiramisu at our restaurant used to be ordered a lot with Panna Cotta being sought as a poor cousin. About 75:25. Now since 2011 Panna Cotta is loved with more guests asking for Panna Cotta than Tiramisu. Recently in a wedding inside a 5*hotel in Chennai we served over 300 Panna Cotta's as the bride loved our Panna Cotta as much as she loved her fiance. The groom accepted the brides choice as he loved her too. I wish the newly weds the best & trust most of their meals will be at Tuscana Pizzeria.
Vipin Sachdev.
Dear Friend,
Thank you for your short & sweet review & thank you for your visit to Tuscana Pizzeria.
Our Tiramisu is loved by most since the time we opened our restaurant in 2009 & Chef Willi personally spends a lot of his time to supervise the creation of Tiramisu in our central kitchen on a daily basis. Chef Willi says Tiramisu is exactly as a human being & during the creation process, handling & serving we need to treat all the aspects of its body & soul with the gentle care for it to be the Perfecto Tiramisu.
Thank you once again & I look forward to your continued visits.

Behindatthebar comes into the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) a fresh horse, having scratched from the May 17 Preakness Stakes (gr. I) due to a bruised left front foot. But the son of Forest Wildcathasn't raced since a score in the April 19 Coolmore Lexington Stakes (gr. II) at Keeneland, which begs the question – will the extra time on the sidelines help or hinder the Todd Pletcher trainee?
From the Coolmore to the Belmont is a seven-week stretch, the longest break between races that Behindatthebar has seen. In fact, both of the colt's wins other than his maiden score came off relatively short periods between races – a 3 1/2-week break before an allowance win at Santa Anita, and just 15 days between that and the Lexington win.
On the other hand, Pletcher skipped the May 3 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) because he felt a similar rapid turn-around would be detrimental to the colt's career. Given the fact that Behindatthebar is a late developer who didn't even race until this January, the extra time between starts – planned or not – could be right up his alley.
Behindatthebar runs with a closing style that seems to hint at an inclination toward longer distances, while his pedigree's even combination of speed and stamina could mark him as a legitimate contender come Belmont day. But we have yet to see a solid dirt performance from the Padua Stable runner, who is owned in partnership with Michael Shustek and W. Don Stanley. His only start off synthetic surfaces resulted in a fifth-place effort in the March 8 El Camino Real Derby (gr. III).
Purchased by Shustek in 2007 for $145,000 at the OBS June sale of 2-year-olds and horses of racing age, Behindatthebar made his racing debut at Santa Anita at the beginning of the year, running 6 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track Jan. 12. He finished second in a maiden special weight by just three-quarters of a length in that effort, and came back at Santa Anita Feb. 2 to take his maiden victory.
In that start, Behindatthebar did not disappoint. Fanning five wide at the head of the lane after stalking the pace in the seven-furlong maiden special weight, he closed handily to win by 2 ¼ lengths – earning Pletcher's respect and attracting the attention of Padua's racing manager, Sasha Sanan. Padua purchased the colt privately for an undisclosed sum shortly thereafter.
"Todd and I had been looking at a number of horses and he pointed Behindatthebar out to me," Sanan said. "Long story short, we both agreed we liked the horse and the price he was being offered at and tried to wrap a deal up in as quick of fashion as possible."
Behindatthebar next ran in the El Camino Real, when he threw in his only disappointing performance thus far – and he came back from that 4 ½-length loss to take an April 3 allowance event at Santa Anita by a handy four lengths in spite of drifting in the stretch after making a bid four wide.
Following that solid effort, Pletcher ran him in the Coolmore Lexington, which the colt won by a length. The winner's share of $201,500 gave him the graded earnings to make the field for the Kentucky Derby, but Pletcher chose to hold off for a while, aiming instead for the Preakness. The colt was scratched from the second jewel of the Triple Crown May 16, when the bruised leg was discovered.
Behindatthebar was bred in Kentucky by Dr. Frank Justice and Meadow Oaks Farm out of the Runaway Groom mare Rihana.

However, with more "action" and stunts comes the possibility of more injuries -- a statistic that recently caught up with Liam while filming in Georgia.
"I twisted my knee," he revealed. "I try to just fight through it. There's so many people standing around waiting for you to do your thing. You feel sort of obligated not to let everyone down."

Gonzalez warns Burns he's ready to dig deep
Jose "Chelo" Gonzalez has warned Ricky Burns he's willing to go to the trenches to rip the Scotsman's WBO lightweight title from him in Betfair's 'Fighting Pride of Scotland' show on May 11 at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow. The Puerto Rican travels to Scotland confident of upsetting the Coatbridge star, and despite a formidable KO record of 17 from 22 fights, the unbeaten mandatory challenger says he's prepared to go the distance to rip the title from Burns' hands.
"I've been able to get a lot of knockouts through my power but on May 11 I have to box as well as Ricky Burns from the first bell until the last," said Gonzalez. "The fans over there can expect to see me at my best and be pleased with the show that they're going to see. We know we've got a tough fight and it'll be very hard to win on points in Scotland but we will be victorious.
"Burns is a fighter that likes to take the initiative, so I have to fight like him. If he throws lots of punches, then I'll throw lots of punches as well. We're doing work to show the judges that I can win the fight round by round."
A year younger than Burns at 29, WBO Latino champion Gonzalez has pin-pointed Burns' hitting the deck in the opening round against 'Rocky' Roman Martinez to win the belt in September 2010 as an area he can attack.
"Rocky had him down with a good shot but Burns showed that he's a skilled boxer," said Gonzalez. "If I hurt Ricky I will finish him off.
"I'm relaxed in my training, normal, like all my 22 fights, but maybe with more intensity. I think that we don't have to change anything, just the fight plan, but that is work for my team. I'm very focused in training and to work in my skills."
With Burns taking the title from a Puerto Rican in Martinez, Gonzalez sees May 11 as the perfect chance to exact revenge on the Scotsman and join some illustrious names in the history books.
"This fight could change my life and the life of my family, my children – I do all this for them," said Gonzalez. "Puerto Rico is a country that is very proud of their boxing champions. Guys like Wilfredo Benitez, Felix Trinidad, Miguel Cotto, Ivan Calderon and Juanma Lopez, these are names I'd be very proud to be among.
"I know I'm going to fight in his home, but in the ring will be only Burns and me. I just want to beat him and bring the title to Puerto Rico.
"I feel really good and very happy to be fighting for a World title because it's a dream for all boxers to be a World champion. It can make one feel very proud and make one's family feel proud too. I'm going to take full advantage of this opportunity and give a great show over in Scotland."

Mr. HARKIN. Madam President, this amendment is a solution in search of a problem. I don't know--have any of my colleagues here had unionized businesses come to them complaining that they can't give a raise? Have any of my colleagues ever heard of that--they have complained they can't give a raise?
The fact is collective bargaining agreements already provide--many of them--for merit-based performance increases. That is part and parcel of a lot of the agreements today. So what this amendment basically does is it undercuts the National Labor Relations Act. That is exactly what it does. If you think we should do away with the National Labor Relations Act and all the benefits and all the protections it has both for businesses and for workers, this is your amendment right here. Quite frankly, I can't think of anything that would be more disruptive of a workplace than this amendment. When a business and workers have agreed on a collective bargaining agreement, this would destroy that kind of comity in the workplace.
Mr. HARKIN. Madam President, as is evident from the amount of debate and attention devoted to it, the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012 is an enormously important piece of legislation for our Nation, as it certainly is for my State of Iowa. Although the measure is commonly referred to as the farm bill, that name captures just a fraction of what it contains to benefit all Americans and millions of others around the world.
Despite the severe economic challenges over the past half decade, agriculture and agriculture-related jobs and economic activity have been a real source of hope, opportunity, and recovery. That is especially so in my State, where agriculture generates about one of every five Iowa jobs and about a fourth of our State's economic output.
Iowa is well known, of course, for its distinctive farm state and smalltown character and for producing corn, soybeans, hogs, cattle, eggs, and other commodities. We have enjoyed tremendous benefits from greater diversification in agriculture and the rural economy. Take for example the boom in biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel and in wind power.
It is critical for us to enact this bill in order to continue and enhance the contributions of agriculture and agriculture-related industries to our Nation's economy, to jobs, and to meeting ever-growing global demands for food, fiber, and energy.
I commend Chairwoman Stabenow and Senator Roberts, the ranking Republican member, for all of their hard, conscientious, and successful work on this bill. I also thank them for their efforts to take into account and reflect in this bill the circumstances, views, and needs of both rural and urban America as well as the various regions and types of agriculture across our Nation. I certainly appreciate their task. This is the eighth farm bill I have worked to enact, starting as a member of the House Agriculture Committee. Since 1985 I have served on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee and am proud to have been the chairman of that committee during the writing and enactment of the most recent two farm bills.
This legislation, approved by our committee in April, is a sound, balanced, and bipartisan bill crafted under budget conditions that have necessitated difficult decisions, judgments, and compromises. According to scoring by the Congressional Budget Office, this measure will reduce spending over the next 10 fiscal years by more than $23 billion from budget baseline levels.
The spending reductions in programs encompassed in this bill thus appear to be several billion dollars larger than the automatic spending cuts slated to begin in January of next year under the sequestration mechanism in the Budget Control Act of 2011. Hence, this farm bill is a serious, good-faith effort going significantly beyond the minimum to reduce our budget deficits and curtail our Nation's debt. Again, these spending reductions will have very real impacts, and frankly I regret them and their consequences. We are not as a Nation investing too much in the future of our Nation's agriculture and food system, in fighting hunger and malnutrition, in conserving our Nation's soil, water, and other resources for future generations, in securing our future with renewable energy and biobased materials, or in strengthening and growing jobs in our Nation's small towns and rural communities. Unquestionably, because of our Federal budget situation and choices that have been made in dealing with it, there is less money to respond to national needs and priorities in the Federal policies and programs covered in this bill.
Given the budgetary hand dealt it, the Agriculture Committee, with the bipartisan leadership of our Chairwoman and Ranking Member, reported a bill combining budget savings with genuine reforms throughout its various titles. The most significant reform--in fact, pivotal reform--lies in the substantial changes in the commodity and farm income protection programs.
To help farm families and rural communities survive and manage the inevitable vagaries of weather and markets, the new farm bill continues a strong system ensuring a degree of stability and protecting against significant losses in farm income. The legislation contains major reform in terminating the existing direct and countercyclical Payments Program and replacing it with the Agriculture Risk Coverage, or ARC, program. ARC is designed to compensate for a portion of farm revenue losses and to supplement the revenue insurance policies that farmers typically rely upon to manage risk.
Because farm income protection based on revenue accounts for the fact that farm income is the product of crop yield times its price in the market, ARC is an improvement over the direct and countercyclical payments program in current law. Direct payments are made in fixed amounts according to each farm's base acreage and program payment yields, which in general were established decades ago. Consequently, the direct payments do not accurately reflect or respond to existing economic circumstances in agriculture because they are made without regard to a farm's current planted acres of crops or to whether crop prices and yields are high or low. The existing countercyclical payment program compensates for a portion of losses when the national average price of a covered commodity falls below a statutory target price. But the countercyclical program's target prices are well below current market prices and costs of production for commodities, and of course, a price-based system does not account for yield losses.
Agricultural producers have been divided over the direct payments since they were adopted in the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 as a replacement for the then-existing target price income protection system. Supporters of direct payments note that they are considered not to be production or trade distorting and that they provide income assistance to farmers who may not benefit much from other commodity programs or crop insurance.
From their beginning, I believed that the direct payments were not sound policy. Within a few years, after they were enacted during a period of strong commodity prices, the direct payments proved inadequate to protect farm income in the face of a sharp falloff in commodity prices, and so we had to resort to enacting ad hoc emergency legislation to make up for the shortcomings of the direct payments.
To restore better protection against farm income losses, I introduced legislation in November 2001 to create a new countercyclical target revenue program. As chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I was pleased that we then reinstated a countercyclical income protection program in the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act. In 2007 and 2008, with the leadership of Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Sherrod Brown, I was pleased that we included the Average Crop Revenue Election, or ACRE Program, in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. ACRE is, of course, the forerunner of the ARC program in the pending new farm bill.
The reform and evolution reflected in this new farm bill is very greatly facilitated by the significant improvement and strengthening of the Federal Crop Insurance Program. Crop insurance, particularly the revenue policies, are now vitally important to agricultural producers, their lenders and creditors, and to the rural economy. So it is an important feature of this bill that it further strengthens and improves the Crop Insurance Program, building upon the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000 and additional improvements in the past two farm bills.
The pending bill also continues a strong conservation title with highly effective programs and funding for them, along with extensive reforms, streamlining, and updating of their structure and functioning. The Department of Agriculture's conservation programs have an outstanding record of success in helping America's farmers and ranchers produce an abundant supply of food, fiber, and fuel, while conserving and protecting our Nation's soil, water, wildlife, and other natural resources. Again, I very much regret that budget circumstances have imposed spending reductions in the conservation title of this bill. There is far more conservation work to be done and demand for USDA conservation assistance than can be met with existing levels of funding. But, as I have noted, these funding reductions are the reality for the crafting of this bill.
In the past two farm bills, as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I made a very strong push for strengthening the full range of USDA conservation programs and for increasing funding to respond to the need and demand for conservation assistance to farmers and ranchers across our Nation. In the 2002 and 2008 farm bills, we very substantially increased our Federal investment in agricultural conservation, building upon successes in preceding farm bills, especially owing to the leadership of the former chairmen of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senator Leahy and Senator Lugar.
For many years, I have emphasized the necessity of promoting and assisting sound conservation practices on land in agricultural production, often referred to as ``working lands''. Agricultural producers are striving to produce much more food in the coming decades to nourish billions more inhabitants of the the Earth. If we hope to produce more and more food in the coming years, it is critical to conserve the underlying resources that support agricultural production.
My objective has been to enact and invest in programs that compensate and assist agricultural producers for their costs, foregone income, and environmental benefits associated with adopting and maintaining practices that protect and sustain soil, water, wildlife, and other resources. In the 1990 farm bill, the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act, we included the Agricultural Water Quality Incentives Program, which I had authored, to provide incentive and cost share payments for practices addressing water quality issues in agricultural production.
In the 1996, 2002, and 2008 farm bills, we substantially expanded and improved conservation programs covering land in agricultural production. I am especially proud of the Conservation Stewardship Program, CSP, which I authored and worked successfully to include in the 2002 farm bill, where it was then named the Conservation Security Program. CSP now has enrolled nearly 50 million acres of agricultural land across our Nation, including crop land, pasture land, range land, and forest land.
CSP and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, EQIP, both focus on promoting and supporting conservation on land that is in agricultural production. They are not land-idling programs. Agricultural producers voluntarily enroll in CSP and EQIP because they are committed to good stewardship and these programs help them fulfill that commitment. CSP and EQIP also help farmers and ranchers to take voluntary action to solve environmental and conservation challenges and thereby avoid regulations. Participants in both programs contribute their own money, time, and effort, so the Federal funds leverage a significant amount of added private money. The level of interest in and demand for both EQIP and CSP greatly exceeds the funding now available and that which is provided in this bill.
To be clear, America's farmers and ranchers have done a tremendous amount of excellent conservation work. Even so, they know that a good deal more conservation work is needed, and they are dedicated to carrying it out. Providing them assistance through the several USDA conservation programs included in this farm bill is a tremendously important investment in conserving and protecting our Nation's vital natural resources for future generations.
This agriculture and food legislation also continues, with reforms and spending reductions, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, and related programs that help low-income families put food on their tables. No title of this bill is more critical to those who rely upon its benefits, nor is any title more important to our Nation in meeting our responsibilities to our fellow citizens. We hear criticisms of Federal nutrition assistance, but let us not forget that the vast majority of Americans who receive this help are children, seniors, people with disabilities, or working families. Indeed, recent years have shown how vitally important SNAP and related nutrition assistance are to enabling working families and especially the children in these families avoid hunger and malnutrition.
The reforms in this bill reduce Federal spending by limiting eligibility and benefits. I regret that our budget circumstances have led to this outcome, but again I give credit to Senator Stabenow and Senator Roberts for holding these cuts to nutrition to much lower levels than other proposals that have been made, including the budget resolution adopted in the House of Representatives. It is also gratifying that this body has in recent days rejected several amendments that would have drastically reduced food assistance for the most vulnerable Americans.
Because the nutrition title in this bill is responsibly and carefully crafted, it continues important reforms and improvements that I am proud we were able to enact in the most recent two farm bills. In the 2002 legislation we restored certain benefits for legal immigrants, restored a portion of benefits that had been cut in previous legislation, increased incentives for work, simplified and increased integrity in nutrition assistance, increased emergency food assistance, dedicated mandatory funding to the Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and adopted a pilot program I authored to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to children in schools. In the 2008 bill we likewise included key improvements to nutrition assistance, such as further restoring previously cut benefits, encouraging savings by recipients, adopting a pilot program of incentives for healthier eating through SNAP, improved benefits for families with high childcare costs, expanded the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to a national program, dedicated mandatory funding for community food projects, increased mandatory funding for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, allowed a preference for purchasing locally produced food for child nutrition programs, and dedicated mandatory funds to the Farmers Market Promotion Program.
To promote energy efficiency on farms and in rural businesses and the production and use of renewable energy and biobased products, this legislation extends, improves, and strengthens programs in the energy title in the 2002 and 2008 farm bill. I am proud to have included the first farm bill energy title in the 2002 legislation, to strengthen and expand the energy title in the 2008 bill, and to continue the energy title as a prominent part of this bill. And thanks to the cooperation of Senators Stabenow, Roberts, Lugar, and Conrad, we were able to dedicate about $800 million in new funding to these critical energy initiatives in the bill reported from the Agriculture Committee.
In March of this year, I introduced S. 2270, the Rural Energy Investment Act of 2012, in order to extend the programs in the energy titles of the 2002 and 2008 farm bills and to provide mandatory funding for the energy title of this new farm bill. So I am very pleased that it includes a strong energy title and dedicates mandatory funding to it.
The bill continues the requirement I authored and we enacted in the 2002 farm bill for Federal departments and agencies to purchase biobased products and to create a ``BioPreferred'' labeling program to encourage private markets for biobased products. Also included in this bill are grants to assist pilot-scale biorefineries and loan guarantees for commercial biorefineries.
This bill appropriately continues the Biomass Research and Development Program, which is a joint initiative of USDA and the Department of Energy that awards grants for research on the full spectrum of bioenergy supply chains, from biomass feedstock development and production, to harvesting and handling, to biomass processing and fuels or products manufacturing.
The Rural Energy for America Program, REAP, the most popular program in the energy title because it provides direct financial support to many farmers, ranchers, and rural small businesses for rural energy systems or energy efficiency projects, is also continued. And this bill extends the Biomass Crop Assistance Program, BCAP, that supports establishment of biomass crops for bioenergy use and provides cost-share payments for harvest and delivery of biomass to user facilities in the initial years.
I am also very pleased that the bill continues, improves, and strengthens a number of initiatives that we included in previous farm bills to assist and promote opportunities for farmers and good nutrition for consumers through farmers markets and increased local production and marketing of food.
In this bill, the Farmers Market Promotion Program is renamed as the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program, and it provides competitively awarded USDA grants to improve and expand farmers markets, roadside stands, community-supported agriculture marketing, and other direct producer-to-consumer marketing, including funding for mobile electronic benefits transfer technology. The grants may also be used to help develop local systems focused on serving low-income communities. This bill increases the mandatory funding dedicated to the program to a total of $100 million.
The bill also extends and increases funding for community food projects through grants to nonprofit organizations to be used in improving access to healthy, nutritious food in communities, which can include assistance to farmers markets and other local food marketing systems. We included $5 million a year in mandatory funding in the 2008 farm bill, and this bill doubles that to $10 million a year.
For the Hunger Free Communities Initiative, the bill dedicates $100 million in new mandatory funding for incentive grants to support increased purchase of fruits and vegetables by families participating in SNAP in underserved communities.
To help farmers cover the cost of obtaining certification as qualified organic producers, the bill includes an increased level of mandatory funding, and it continues and funds the organic research and extension initiative. Also continued are the program of block grants to the States to assist fruit, vegetable, and horticulture crop producers and a special program supporting research projects focused on helping these producers. The bill continues the initiative I was pleased to include in the 2008 farm bill to provide cost-share assistance through EQIP to farmers who are making the transition to organic food production.
Mr. President, these are only some of the important features in this new farm bill. It is a strong bill, with substantial reforms and continued progress toward improved food, agriculture, conservation, energy, and rural policies for our Nation.

When I dream of my mother, she is hiding in the farthest corners of dimly lit rooms, bewildered and pale-faced and all bold, brown eyes. This is not unlike the real image she inhabits, sitting in her walker or on a paisley-cushioned bench at the end of the hall as she tries to piece together the portions of my face, my hair, my body into something that falls just short of familiar or safe.
My mother looks small sitting there, every day smaller than I have ever seen her. Frail, and barely there. The clothes that used to fit her snugly hang from her shoulders, sleeves like a tent meant to house the loose, wrinkled skin that hangs from her frame. She is my mother, of course, made up of the same cells that webbed into the bits and pieces of her that used to swab my dirty face with saliva and rub my back when I was sick. Conversely, she is not my mother. She is a ghost. And I am her daughter, and I am not her daughter. I am a stranger most every day she sees me.
Each time I see her, there is less to see. When people ask how she is doing, this is what I say. She is disappearing, and one day I am afraid she might fall through the space between the bench cushions. One day, maybe she will. One day, there will be nothing left. I know this, and yet my visits become less regular, less dependable. To see her is to see the formidable truth that soon she will no longer be there. And I am not that brave.

Stock JK cross country questions
So I'm buying a Stock 2d 09 JK (Auto) for a trip across country from Buffalo, NY to SoCal, with extended stay in Moab. It's a pretty big undertaking but should be worth it.
I'm getting the Jeep next week but we aren't leaving till April, what Mods do you think will be essential, if any.
Flashpaq - I've read about the Flashpaq and was wondering if it will effect the gas mileage of a stock auto jeep. Eventually I will get a lift and larger tires so will want it in the future but not sure if it will make a diff now.
Seats - I was thinking of getting new seats but it's hard to find out which would be comfortable etc, I haven't found any sites with a rating system for that stuff. Do you think they're even needed?
Tops - I'm pretty sure I'm getting the softtop, even though Buffalo winters are bad, I have friends that have softtops all year and say it's overall better since you can drop the top when it's nice. So I figure I'll get a bikini top for when it's down but are they're any Tonnaeu covers that can be used when the softtop is on but down? from my research it seems either or.
MOAB - We'll be stopping in Moab for Arches and some offroading. I understand some trails are easy enough for stock Jeeps, or should i just rent one? We're on a long tour so I don't want to damage anything but wouldn't mind getting it dirty.
Security - With the softtop I've been worried about security, Are field disturbance alarms worth it? or Should I invest in safety boxes instead? Combo?
Those are my main concerns, please let me know what you guys think.
I haven't done a true cross country trip but have done a few 2000 mile road trips on my 09 JK, stock. I loved it. No issues. I found the seats comfortable, didn't worry about the soft top at all. My step dad has a disturbance alarm on his 97 and has never had any issues. He doesn't bother locking his doors at all.
Regarding security, have you worked with the JK soft tops at all yet? One of the things I like about them is it's not necessarily obvious how they work. Most people are surprised when I tell them that the rear windows come of. As a consequence, I'm somewhat dubious the "break into your car and steal your radio" crowd really views a JK soft top as any easier mark than a glass window.
You shouldn't need the Flashpaq for the stock configuration. Now if you plan on bigger tires etc before you go them you might want it or if your towing a trailer. You also didn't say which model you were getting or what lift size etc you want to go to after this road trip. Seats should be good, especially with all the stopping you plan on doing.
Make sure everything is mechanically sound before the trip. Specifically the brakes. You can spend 15 mins getting to 65+ if you had too, but when you need to stop, you NEED TO STOP! Get a CAI (AFe is good) and if you aren't going to go wild on a lift (requiring exhaust mods), when you get one, get a cat back exhaust before the trip (air in, air out sort thing).
Get security boxes and leave the damn thing unlocked. Also park it in plain view whenever possible. With an unlocked vehicle and in plain sight of everyone, thieves will assume the owner is close.
As far as Moab goes, get some quick disconnects and go for it in stock configuration. This way you will learn your vehicle, your driving abilities, and what if anything you want in a build up afterward. If you don't plan to go wild on lift/tires (so as to not be changing gears) and such when your trip is done, maybe throw in a couple of lunch box lockers (Aussie << my choice, Lock-Right, Spartan, etc). Very affordable, decent road manners, and you can do it in a few hours with standard tools in yours or a friend's driveway. Plus you should change the fluids and check the brakes anyway, being it is used, so you're half way there on the install as it is. This would open up a little more challenging terrain for you. Read a head-to-head article here about these lockers. I am sure there are as many of these articles on the net as there are opinions here. Research it, if interested in this option, and make your choice.
Many many soft/bikini tops to choose from. Many people say to stay away from Smittybilt tops. Never used one personally. Rampage and Bestop are excellent choices for all there product line in this area.
If you want or need any help acquiring these or any products, send me a PM. Sounds like a fantastic trip and we DO expect pics during you're travels.
Hey Allen,
Thanks for all the info and advice! I didn't ask the question, but you answered anything I might've asked. I'm a 15 day Wrangler owner, and my wife and I are planning a camping trip in Key West next May. Gonna go straight south to FL from Wisconsin, then up the east coast to Boston and home. As I said, VERY new to Jeeps, but can turn a wrench if I gotta. I have no doubt it'll be smooth sailing. Especially with all the knowledge/wisdom I've already got from y'all. Thanx! And there will be lotsa pix!
Yes Thanks Allen and everyone who responded. I've been lurking here and many other forums and feel this is the most well rounded, some of the others are too focused on lifts and wheels, which is a huge part but not all of owning a Jeep.
TBH Before this I never thought much of CAI and exhaust but now after reading up they look real easy to install. Exhausts are bolt on right? no welding?
I'm getting an X, the only Rubis I've seen within 150 miles are 5k over KBB so i'll just get an X and build what I need. For the trip I want to increase performance and gas economy LOL I know I know. So I'm thinking the CAI/Exhaust will be useful long term and short.
How much lift will start to cause problems? Realistically I'll probably only add 2.5/3 inch lift and 33/35 wheels, depending on monies. I don't live in the back-country so I'd rather get the most for my money rather than just max out height.
I'm still undecided what route to go about it that's one reason I'm on the forum :) My buddy has 33's and feels he needs a regear (maybe just a reprogram), so I think I'd just wait till i can afford the whole upgrade package, about 3k I figure if I do most fo it myself. To make the trip i financed and plan on paying it off early. Once i do that I'll start deciding more seriously about lifts.
The more videos and such I read about Moab the more I think I'll just rent!
ok after further review, mostly this thread FAQ - Cold Air Intake - JeepForum.com I think I'll pass for now.
Changing my driving habits doesn't effect long highway rides really, I know it will be a pig on gas but if i could add a few mpg it would be nice. I heard 50 is the most optimal speed to cruise at so we're planning our trip to use byways and state roads instead of highways, should be more fun to.
Hey I recently purchased a 2010 wrangler Rubicon with a Auto. My girlfriend and I also have about 600 plus miles on two different days and also put on a 1200 mile weekend cursing the north shore of Minnesota. The new jeeps are very comfortable and I have ran a FlashPaq also. There is a mega sale on them if you look around. Under $350.00

Washington DC ATX Computer Cases – Choosing An ATX Computer Case, Washington DC
If you are considering building your own computer one of the first things you will need to purchase is an ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) computer case. An ATX computer case, also known as a computer chassis, is the exterior covering that contains most of the components of a computer that is made to ATX industry standards. The ATX standard is a format that is set for manufacturers of computer hardware to ensure interoperability. The good thing about ATX cases is that they often times come with an ATX power supply but you can also purchase one separately if you choose. An ATX power supply will fit in any ATX case.
For those who are ready to start building your own computer or if you are just interested in changing the case on your computer, it's important to know how many internal and external bays you will need because they vary by case. You need to choose one that will accommodate your desired setup. Too often people will go and purchase an ATX case that has the flashy lights they like without realizing that there are other things to take in to consideration beyond style and color.
Even though a case is one of the first things that you will need when building your own computer, you first have to consider what you plan on installing inside of it. One of the first things that you need to consider is the type and brand of motherboard you want to install. The two most common motherboards are ATX and Micro ATX, and with Micro ATX being smaller than the ATX motherboard your case size could be different depending on which one you choose. You will also need to take in to consideration the number of bays that you will need for other hardware such as Hard Disk Drives, Optical Drives, and Memory Card Slots.
If you have any questions about purchasing an ATX computer case Geek ABC is here to help answer your questions. We can be reached via our website, http://www.geekabc.com/, you can give us a call at 1.877.GEEKABC (1.877.433.5222) to schedule an appointment or visit our blogspot at http://geekabc.blogspot.com/ for more information.

SEI Fireplaces
I'm allergic to reindeer, so I wanted my house to be entirely Santa-proof. To do this, I made sure we had no chimney, but this became an issue in the winter time because it meant we couldn't have a fireplace. However, thanks to SEI, we now have this lovely fireplace, and our roof can stay free of both reindeer and Santa Claus!

Painting Baseboards(does it matter what kind?)
Hi everyone!
Here's the deal, I'm 27, moved back in with my parents to do a couple of years of schooling since the economy where I was living, was, in a word awful.
The room that I'm currently in was once my kid sister's room. It's white and covered with black paw prints. Needless to say it needs a change.
My problem lies with the fact that ALL of the trim is this medium brown stained wood. It's the same baseboards and trim around doors and windows and closets that the builders of our house put in 21 years ago. My mom claims it is Oak. I did read about it being a cardinal sin to paint oak baseboards. But truthfully, they aren't antique, the really thick ones everyone likes(I saw some pictures on other threads of those kind).
My mother absolutely refuses to let me paint them because she wants them all the same(the whole house is covered in this stuff), which I understand to a point, But I think it's very dated in terms of stain and style, and every design show(not a flip this house type of thing) I've seen that wants to try to redo a room, paints the baseboards. I'm not going to a crazy colour, I had it picked out for me by behr, and an interior designer friend of the family. I simply want to paint it Ash white in order to bring the whole room together instead of having wood thrown in and making it look, well, kind of tacky.
BUT since you all are the experts, could someone shed some light on me as to what to do?
For the record, I've also offered to buy new baseboards to keep hers in tact just the way she wants them, her counterpoint is that she doesnt want to store them.
They are thinking of possibly moving in three years time.
Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
I would leave them stained. Less work for you and if your parents are planning to move it is to their advantage probably to have the rooms the same. The trick is to choose a color for the walls that will work with the stain.
Problem is, Thats basically whats been done in the rest of the house. THere isn't a room that hasnt had to match the baseboards so far, so no room really gives off any different feeling than the rest.
Its all basically shades of beige with the couple of focus wall exceptions, one in the living room, kind of a maroonish colour, and one in the basement, kind of a turquoise(i've long since forgotten the proper names). And all i want to do is not have anything like those colours. They are driving me nuts.
PS: I dont mind the extra work, I've removed and replaced baseboards multiple times before. I really dont understand why she wont just let me buy cheap new ones and paint those while keeping hers intact.
LISTEN HERE young man! You listen to your mother....DO YOU HERE ME!!
Last I checked, Meghan was a girl's name.
Secondly, normally I do adhere to whatever she says, painfully so, about everything, because for the time being, for the first time in a decade I'm under her roof.
But the deal was(long story), she said I could paint it "whatever colour" I wanted. Yet, has vetoed not only the baseboards but also every colour scheme Ive chosen(matching the baseboards or not).
Please don't treat me like a child. I'm asking for advice in as logical a manner as I can convey.
I've done DIY projects in the past, installed and cut my own laminate floors, painted rooms and fixed plumbing. I deserve as much respect as any other user of this site. I thought perhaps someone might have some other suggestion I hadn't thought of in order for both of us to have exactly what we want. Maybe I chose the wrong venue.
sorry, was just kidding around. I didn't know your name was Megan. On a serious note, stained baseboard was the norm for decades, I still prefer it, but I'm old.
They will look worlds better painted white or off-white. I have a house that was built in the mid 80's with all medium stained woodwork - baseboards and door trim. Over the years I've been painting them room by room and the look is so totally fresh and updated. I will be putting my house on the market in the next year or so and absolutely this will be a plus not a negative.
If you show her some before and after pictures maybe it will help. here's a hallway gone from dark and dreary to bright and fresh:
and here's a guestroom similar magic.
My future real estate agent is psyched at these improvements!
Real wood needs to be left stained but it also depends on your home decor. For instance, if the house is warm and elegant then go for the dark color stain. However, if the house is contemporary then I would paint the trim a light cream color and stain the doors to present a European type look which is popular right now. :cool:
I would like to see a photo of that European look your referring to sounds nice but I can't picture it
Here is a link to - European Mahogany Interior Door Picture
This will give you some ideals what is in fashion right now, well at least in South Florida. :thumbsup:
Thanks for the Link Deco- Nice site the Entry Doors look to be like 15k-20k, I would need a great deal on those lol
No thats too much money. :no: More like 6k-9k depending on sizes and design, etc...

Just a way for us to share some spanking videos that we create mainly for discipline, but also for role-play..
Signup to receive updates and news from Southern Moon .
Rocco76 had never been spanked before, so I decided to give him his first ever spanking and record it for him, to help him remember it.
This is just a fun spanking with my sister BriannaCarter21 where we play guess the implement *giggles* Will she guess correctly??? Let's find out *giggles*
This starts out as a self spanking, because I have been stressed and frustrated that I can't find another disciplinarian, but then towards the end, my Daddy comes in and helps me out by taking over the spanking, which is something he doesn't do often, because he doesn't want to hurt me.
My Daddy decided that my older sister needed some attention, so he gives her a good spanking in this video. He only spanks her with a very evil wooden spoon!!!
My sister breannacarter21 finishes off the discipline spanking that she is giving me and then gives me a birthday spanking.
Well, here is another discipline session with my sister breannacarter21 this year 2012. What all have I done wrong this year to deserve a discipline spanking from my sister???
I catch my older sister smoking and spank her after she spanked me all weekend.
My sister BriannaCarter21 disciplines me for my recent behavior :(

?'s about Honey, Shea Butter, & Coconut Oil
I know these are three really random products, but I have been hearing a lot of people say good things about each of these. For those of you that use either honey, shea butter, or coconut oil, how exactly do you use them? Do you wash with them, use them as styling products.....
Thanks! I'm dying to try them. :D
I haven't messed about much with coconut oil as i've heard it can make your curls more elongated but if i did it would probably be as part of a deep treatment.
Honey can be used in lots of different ways, adding a blob to conditioner will help with curl definition and give you nice shiny curls. You can also do a deep moisture treatment by mixing honey with aloe vera and your conditioner... heat the mixture in a microwave for a few seconds and slather on wet hair, wrap your hair up and leave for about half an hour (this is known as snowys moisture treatment.. SMT... invented by a girl on the longhaircommunity forum and by all accounts its fanastic). People also do honey rinses by mixing a few tablespoons of honey with water for your final rinse. People also use it with some aloe vera as a gel / curl defininer after thier final rinse.
Shea butter is my altimate God send!! I use it as a leave in and it gives me well defines, bouncy curls... i've quit using gel since i found this stuff!! it doesn't hold as such but because my curls are so moisturised and free to springy i don't feel i need any hold! I'm about to order some unrefined stuff but at the moment i scrunch Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave-in conditioner into my hair, towel dry a little and thats it! Heres what it looks like... http://www.healthlifeline.com/item.html?PRID=1001662
I also srunch a little in when my hair is dry and it gives me an extra bit of clumping. And when i tie my hair back, i smooth a very tiny amount over my hair to catch any frizzies
I use coconut oil as a leave in. It helps with keeping the moisture in and calming the frizz before I put on my gel.
That leave in looks good! Grecian do you have a photo album up? I've seen a pic of your curls before but I want to look again please!
Grecian, I just ordered me some! Thanks. I'm also going to try the honey & aloe mixture.
I don't have any nice recent pics so i'll do my hair with just the leave in this weekend and let you see the result!
can anyone tell me what aloe vera is used for, can it be used as a gel for styling or is it used for conditioning.
Also the shea butter, I'm imagine this to look like a lump of butter ( I'm new to all this).
I 've started using a tiny amount of leave in ( 1 part honey /10 parts water ), this gives me the volume I've been after and a few more curls (not enough), and so far no build up.
I'm now looking for something that will add definition and shine.
Can anyone help
I'll be watching for the Grecian, thanks!
You can use aloe for conditioning. I have it in both my leave in and my gel. Some can use aloe with a little honey as their gel.
Shea is solid but melts with the heat of your hands. Generally it's in a tub.
Thanks Medusahair
Where can I buy these, drugstore, supermarket or health food store.
I live in the UK.
I'm not in the UK but here I buy it at Walmarts, the health food store, drugstores. Be sure it's just aloe though. Usually I can find it with first aid for sunburns
GrecianCurls - I don't know if I should thank you or fuss at you for posting that link - so many cool-sounding things I want to try. :) And I'm trying to be good and not spend so much . . . oh, well.
I just washed my hair and put a blob of aloe vera in and plopped for 1 hr.
Result -Hair not too good. Less curl and a bit poofy. What did I do wrong.
argh... sorry for feeding your PJs!! I hope the people that have brought the shea moisture leave in on my rec like it :wink:
bibbles... I'm not too sure what you did wrong, i had very mixed results with aloe as a leave in so i just use mine in deep treatment mixtures now and love using it that way. Are you on CG? Whats your hair type? Maybe it doesn't quite give you enough hold? Also (sorry to throw another product in) i have read posts before where people have used aloe mixed with a drop of jojoba oil and had good results... the jojoba can help de-poof a little if the aloe isn't enough by itself. Sorry i can't help more but i kind of gave in experimenting with aloe as a gel on wet hair, i did get some good results though using a tiny amount on dry hair.
I've added some pics of my hair for anyone interested... they show how fine and wimpy my curls are but also how spirally the leave-in makes them!
Ok I'm convinced I need to try this now. I thought you were using aloeba?
Your hair is spiralled up so nicely! You have beautiful hair!
I can speak about coconut oil.
I've used it in various ways. I have blended it with both rinse out and leave in conditioners for more moisture.
I have left it on my ends at night for a protective coating.
I have used it as a DT.
My most common use for it is for defrizzing after my hair is finished. I graze it and/or scrunch it on any surface frizz and it seems to work for me. I have a little tub with me so I can use it during the day if I need to.
Many seem to find that it elongates their curls, but I haven't seen too much of this myself.
ETA: GrecianCurls - you ahve some awesome spirals!
Thank you!
I ran out of aloeba so i'm using Elucence till my next lot arrives (thats the only problem with it... i use loads), I'm so fickle, i love something and then my PJ starts calling, I should know by now that if it ain't broken don't try to fix it!! There are somethings i keep going back to and aloeba is one of them!
Actually I was asking about Aloeba because you mentioned the other leave in you use. I was wondering if the other leave in is better? In a different way I mean.
I understand perfectly about the PJ! I have the products I love dearly but if something is similar in ingredients that I like I have to try it! It's like a law I swear, it's not me
:o Grecian, your curls are absolutely beautiful!! Can I have them please??
LOL... lushaholic... 2 years ago i'd happily of chopped my curls off for you but i've grown quite attached to them now!! You're hair is stunning too! You always want what you don't have though eh!?
I see what you mean now Medusa.. If i use aloeba as a leave-in it'll be as an overnight treat, i love how it moisturises my hair but it also makes it look a little greasy. For day-time help with banishing frizz and encouraging curls i use the shea moisture stuff! Hope thats answered your question!
It sure does thanks so much Grecian!
Edited because I repeat myself before I get coffee in me oops

BYRON Walton is looking to dip into the market ahead of Beaconsfield's final promotion run-in.
Suspensions and injuries have hit the Rams with goals also drying up of late with top scorer Lee Barney having netted once in three months and the team having scored once in three games.
But Walton is confident his strikeforce, bolstered by the return of pacey Adam Bernard for the final run-in, can recapture their prolific form but is taking to the transfer market to boost his squad ahead of the close of the window this month.
"Lee Barney scored the other week and Adam is back with us so I am not too concerned about the goals," he said. "But we are light in other areas of the pitch and I have put in some seven-day requests for players before the deadline.
"We definitely need another goalkeeper because if Michael (Power-Simpson) gets injured we will have no cover for him. Plus with Craig Carby's three-game ban (straight red in derby loss at Chalfont last week) we need another left-back. Hopefully, we can get those deals tied up soon."

Men's soccer drops tight match to Yale
The Marist men's soccer team suffered a setback after its success at the Radford Invitational, dropping a tough 2-1 decision to Yale. Despite sophomore Dylan Lee netting his first goal of the 2012 season, the Red Foxes dropped the 1-0 lead they had built in the first half, giving up two Bulldog tallies in the second half of play.
Despite the strong start, the problem for Marist was keeping up their consistency for the duration of the match. The Red Foxes sustained their momentum for the entirety of the first half, matching the Bulldogs in shots, and leading in shots on target by a 2-1 margin. The team simply did not bring the same level of intensity in the second half, however, and Yale was able to win the match.
"I think the problem is between our ears to be honest," Marist head coach Matt Viggiano said. "For some reason we seem to lose our focus, and have a problem concentrating for a full ninety minutes. We have yet to put it together for a full ninety this year and I can't really explain it, other than they have to understand that there needs to be a level of commitment and they can't let up at any point at this level. It's definitely mental at this point."
The Red Foxes offense started off with a bang with Lee's goal in just the second minute of the match. Junior Wes Finch dished the ball to Lee on the left hand side of the field, to Lee who ripped his shot off of a Bulldog defender, past Yale goalkeeper Bobby Thalman to put Marist ahead.
Junior goalkeeper Anthony Sokalski made his only save of the first half in the tenth minute, and Marist recorded its second shot on target of the first 45 minutes, when senior Stephan Brossard tested the Yale keeper in the 26th minute. Brossard also fired a shot high just over the bar in the 27th minute and neither team threatened for the remainder of the half.
The Red Foxes' play was noticeably weaker in half number two, and the Bulldogs were able to take advantage, knotting the score at one with a rebound off the crossbar. Milan Tica launched a long free kick off of the woodwork, before Conner Lachenbruch buried home the rebound.
The Bulldogs pulled ahead in the 71st minute, as Kevin Michalek buried home a corner kick, again beating Sokalski. Brossard was once again denied after putting a shot on target, and Marist's last ditch effort to tie the game was denied as junior Greg Davis saw his shot blocked in the 88th minute, and the Red Foxes did not threaten again.
"I think if you watch that game, we were far more dangerous individually, other than a player or two, but we just didn't put it together. We didn't match their intensity when they came out for the second half and we let them dictate."
Marist is next in action this coming weekend, when they travel to Garden City N.Y. for a non-conference tilt with Adelphi. The Red Foxes then begin MAAC Conference play the following weekend, when Manhattan and St. Peters come to town.

Manny Pacquiao Is Back Training at Wild Card in Hollywood Manny Pacquiao began his U.S. training camp today at Hall of Fame-elect trainer Freddie Roach's Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif. Pacquiao is in his final five weeks of intense workouts as he prepares for his world title defense against undefeated junior welterweight champion TIMOTHY "Desert Storm" BRADLEY. Pacquiao began the day with a 6:45 a.m. run from Griffith Part up the Hollywood Hills to the landmark Hollywood sign. He shaved a minute off his personal best time, running the 3.5 mile course in 22 minutes. Later that afternoon, Pacman worked out for three hours with Roach at Wild Card, going 10 brisk rounds on the mitts followed by two hours of conditioning and hitting the bags.

Game Three at Lakewood Suspended in 11th Inning, Tied 2-206/15/2011 1:32 AM ET
Lakewood, NJ-In game three of their four-game road set on Tuesday night at FirstEnergy Park against the Lakewood BlueClaws (31-32), the Hagerstown Suns (37-26) scored two runs through ten-plus innings of offensive stanzas. The BlueClaws also plated two runs over the duration.
The Suns received their only runs in the top of the 1st frame on a two-RBI rocket off the stick of 1B David Freitas, his 8th home run of the 2011 campaign. Freitas tomahawked a singled to left field in the 4th inning off LHP Jessie Biddle (3-6). Freitas produced the only two hits for the entire Suns offensive output so far in the game.
Lakewood plated their two runs in the last of the 5th inning when LHP Sammy Solis (1-0) threw a wild pitch allowing C Cameron Rupp, who doubled, to touch home. Then, on an infield single by 2B Carlos Perdomo, an errant throw to first base by Solis summoned home CF Miguel Alvarez, who got on board with an infield single.
With the game tied 2-2, a few minutes before the 10 o'clock hour, in the top of the 11th inning, and a steady stream of rainfall soaking the playing field, the umpiring crew deemed the surface not suitable to continue the extra-inning contest. After a 45 minute rain delay, the ballgame was suspended until Wednesday evening.
Play will continue at 6:05pm with 3B Sean Nicol at-bat for the Suns in the away half of the 11th frame, with one out, and no one on base. The pitcher for Lakewood was LHP Mario Hollands (4-4).
Live radio coverage will begin on WJEJ AM 1240 at 5:50pm with the Break Away 2 Sports Lounge Pre-game Show before the live play-by-play of the continuation of game three. Game two of the doubleheader will be a regularly scheduled nine inning game and it will begin either 30 minutes following the conclusion of the first contest or first pitch will be thrown at 7:05pm if the first game finishes by 6:35pm.
