Oooh, yeah.
This is lovely. Puts me in mind of all those wonderful Blaxploitation films from the '70s, which is no bad thing. If you're into instrumental funk, then you could do a lot worse than to check out The Commodores, in particular Machine Gun. Most fine funkiness, much like your own.

This song reminds me of Everybody Jam by Scatman John. I scatted along with the song like he would.

After holding a series of community workshops on the San Diego school district's fiscal crisis, the Board of Education is preparing to decide its top budget priorities.
Under a new "priority-based" budget system, the board will determine what it needs to fund before it decides what it needs to cut.
"It's a new way of looking at the budget," said board Vice President John Lee Evans. "We are starting at the bottom and asking, 'What is essential? What do want need to fund?' We are not starting at the top and subtracting until we balance the budget."
The school board expects to meet Jan. 5, after the winter break, to begin making its funding priorities — based on the input it received during recent community forums.
A majority of parents from various socioeconomic backgrounds asked the district to keep classroom sizes as small as possible.
Maintaining small class sizes is expensive because it means keeping teachers.
Under a worst-case scenario, state reductions in education spending could mean a $220 million deficit in the San Diego Unified School District's $1.2 billion operating budget next year.
To offset those state cuts, district officials say they would need to increase class sizes by 50 percent in virtually every grade level, eliminate full-day kindergarten in favor of half-day morning and afternoon sessions, lay off at least 500 teachers, eliminate music and art programs and high school athletics, and close down student seminars to Old Town, Balboa Park and Camp Palomar.
The governor is expected to release an update on the state budget Jan. 10.
When universities need to save money, they simply reduce the number of students they accept.
"We obviously do not have — nor do we want — that option. But just to illustrate, we would have to turn away 40,000-plus students to save $200 million," Evans said.
The school board is encouraging parents and residents to contact their state representatives to demand that education funding be given top priority. They also want legislators to adhere to Proposition 98, which prohibits the state from reducing funding for schools below a certain level.

Absolutely, lovely work but again probably not made from recycled objects, unlike the other work on her blog, which I am now following. Thanks for sharing.
Jan Pinney via Facebook says
Yes, there is a difference between recycle/repurpose creativity and creative use of everyday objects purchased for a purpose.I am often finding these things that do not seem consistant with the recycle theme.
Dee Mahler-Castillo via Facebook says
That is so cool
Jacque Childress via Facebook says
Stunning! (Let's see: 300 wire whisks from Dollar Tree or a $300 pre-made chandelier. I choose the repurposed version if it would cost the same anyway).
Recyclart via Facebook says
@ Jan : true, but in both cases, it develops imagination, that's why it's also interesting to share it. Recyclart wants to propose both approaches ! (but it's a continuous feedback from readers who are attached to the fact that it must be REAL Recycling !)
Jan Pinney via Facebook says
I agree Jacque and I applaud the result. I must add however that I am taking it somewhat personally when I see these, and then egg carton art, when I have submitted 'real' recycle/repurpose peices of some quality never to be heard or seen of again. Yes, some taint of sour grapes, but not unreasonable.

to be a bit fed up with aid worker DH?(124 Posts)
My DH is a lovely, kind, caring man who has always been very passionate about helping other peoplewhuch is what I fell in love with. But now we have DC I find this means that about two thirds of the house work and child care lands on me because of the pressures of his job - and that's when we aren't in the middle of a massive disaster. I've a long commute, a stressful f/t job at a company that's imploding, and am studying to get another qualification so I can move to a job which is closer, more secure and lower stress. I work from home 2-3 days a week so can get DC at 4pm and then work when they have gone to bed, but I feel like I am cracking up with over work. Aid work is such a big part of who DH is he won't hear of moving somewhere cheaper, nearer my family for help, considering a career change etc so less is riding on mec. I have a history of depression and am worried that I am sliding there again. Aibu for being angry that DH is off saving the world and not making more compromises for my sake? Currently sick at home with sick kid while he sorts the Philippines out which is bringing this all to a head. Sorry for long post!
Thanks Join. I think part of the problem is that DH thinks in terms of, as well as works in, emergencies. Unless something has totally fallen apart at the seams, and isn't 'urgent' he doesn't give it much head space.
I guess it is why he is so good at what he does, but it also helps to explain what he doesn't tend to prioritize long term, structural stuff which is geared towards what might happen, or is gradually happening slowly - that's my forte. So the fact that he hasn't really engaged fully with this isn't necessarily a reflection of his feelings for me
. To be fair, our DS in particular is a lousy sleeper and having difficult and painful discussions once he is finally asleep isn't somethibg that either of us really feels like - rather than say, crash out ourselves, have a laugh, or watch a bit of telly... But sometimes ya gotta do a bit of marriage-mending work...
Not quite the same but my grandfather was a vicar. Apparently he was a wonderful vicar, completely devoted to his parishioners, went far beyond the call of duty.
When he died the church was full of people sobbing over his death.
And in the front row was his wife, children and grandchildren looking a bit bored.
To be honest his funeral was not very different to any of the other times I had seen him - he was technically there but didn't speak to me much.
Mum hmm...surprising how often this kind of comment has come up!
ocelot that's great. Perhaps you could schedule a babysitter for a few week's time and have a more detailed chat then? You don't want your progress to slip but I think it is good that he has scheduled someone else to work this weekend. Hopefully you're on your way to a more balanced and happier place.
Thanks Kate. I think a babysitter more regularly would be a good thing anyway! Thanks for all your support x
I commend your DH for being worthy, OP. We need more people like him around. However, when you have a family there has to be balance. Im not a great believer that anybody should take care of outside world issues, whilst neglecting their own family. You also sound to be his enabler - he can do what he does, because you are carrying far too much of a load. You may have to bite the bullet whilst the Phillipines situation is ongoing, however you matter too.
QuintessentialShadows has made a valid point re. her extremely busy - and single - friend. There's a message in there somewhere.
You need to tell your DH exactly how you are feeling. & be prepared that yes, he may think you are being selfish. But again remember, you matter too. In the meantime keep working on finding a less stressful job for yourself. I hope it all works out.
I'm glad your DH has had an epiphany OP, but I do worry about what you say that he doesn't give things much thought unless "they have fallen apart at the seams".
That's effectively what has happened in this situation. You are a damsel in distress, he has promised to deliver a solution to fix it. Trouble is parenting isn't made up of grand gestures and highlights, as you know it's the relentless grind that makes it hard.
Get some definite long term commitments from him. He needs to be home say one or two days a week at a reasonable time ( genuine crises excepted). He does something with the DCs at the weekend. Otherwise at Christmas you review the situation. You shouldn't have to continue like this.
So he is an aid worker, but what does he actually do?
My uncle was a war correspondent and as a result I have a very jaded view of most aid work and the benefits it brings, too many people are there not for the greater good but for themselves. This isn't the view of one but backed up repeatedly, I know many people that went into CP in war zones and they all say the same.
So what really is he? The lack of thought about you and his family does suggest that he is an ego driven aid worker, so fuck all use to the people there.
Ocelot, I read the thread earlier in the week and it immediately reminded me of this article I'd read last weekend. On finishing it I had immediately thought 'His poor wife, it's all very well for him but what about her and the kids?' I've now read it online and the comments are interesting. Some say he's a hero, others say he is selfish and self-indulgent (I notice there are a lot of recommends for those...) Anyway, thought it might interest you too.
Do go back to the question of moving and your possible job change in a few weeks, too. It's good that he has now said he will do more, but it does also suggest that that's going to take place within the context of him keeping his job and his commitment to it, hence the 'outside major emergencies' bit.
Try for a compromise.
You need some help (by moving or reducing your hours?) if he wants to save the world.
Push your cause.
Good luck.
He already has a flexible working arrangement whereby outside of emergencies he can do pick-ups two or three times a week?
Sounds pretty good to me.
I always blow things out of proportion when I am tired. In quieter moments try and sort things out regarding a move/ job change, whatever, but really, if he's picking up a third unless he's away, it isn't really that bad. Partic if he's only away for 2-3 weeks.
Yes, I come from a military family.
Yes, one of my good mates is banged up in St Petersburg with his 29 mates.
Relationship dynamics are an interesting thing, eh? Only you know if a third of the domestics plus your pride in your partner's job is enough. And only you know if you are prepared to sacrifice a bit of your own ambition for the family unit as a whole. I'd say that if you were a man or a woman, by the way.
Ocelot, glad your DH seems a bit more receptive to the issues now, but theoriginalandbestrookie makes some realy good points above about your DH coming into his own when a "rescue" is needed but falling down a bit in the unsexy parts. Life is a marathon rather than a sprint.
I noticed that you have stated a number of times that you don't want to "emotionally blackmail" your DH. Why do you feel that raising your and your family's important needs is "emotional blackmail"? And on the other hand you don't seem to be noticing that your DH seems to be pulling a bit of this himself- he doesn't seem to be shy about using the halo effect of his job (which he has only been able to do for so long due to your and your family's support and sacrifice) to refuse to make things easier for the family. This has only changed now it's come to a crisis which, if he ignored it, would make him a "bad guy" with less of a claim to that halo. Speaking a bit bluntly here, but he chose to have a family just as much as you did. He can't just let it slide until it's hanging off a precipice and he can swing in and save you all.
Thanks for all your latest posts folks - sorry I didn't respond, I was asleep! Milkybar I can't go into more details without risking identifying my DH to anyone in the field who happens to be reading this. But he really ISNT some kind of egotistic jerk - otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help in how to keep this marriage going - I would be asking about ending it! He's genuinely a lovely guy, kind, warm, an involved father ...all that stuff. In many ways, I am.lucky. He, like all of us, is trying to balance the things he is committed to - its a shades of grey thing, not a black and white one,which is why I asked AIBU? As Madwoman points out - many women would be more than happy with my set up. I have other friends whose DHs work in law, commerce, medicine etc who land FAR more on them! The crunch for me is that this not the 50.50 I thought I had agreed to, its starting to impact on my health, its impeding my ability to get out of my current
hellhole workplace, and I feel controlled (and exhausted) by the way in which his career choices control our lives together, esp where we live. The obvious answer may be for me to reduce my hours as soon as I can afford to, get my qualification and look for a lower stress, closer job myself. But I really don't want to have to give up on my own career progression altogether just to stay sane! Lisianthus you make some fantastic, insightful comments. You are right - there's family history here, which makes me feel like I should be very grateful for DH being as caring and decent as he is - my own DF was not so. Don't really want to go into that though!
I think the other thing is: if I insist that he leave a line of work that he is devoted to, and move to a place he doesn't want to live, in order to put my health and happiness first, wouldn't that just replicate a power imbalance but with all control lying in my hands.this time? I am struggling to see how to keep this fair for both of us.
Well, is there some way that a trade off can be made financially?
So you could afford a bit of help at home, I mean.
Hmmm I don't see that pick ups 2-3 x per week is fair personally if you're both working. Keep talking to him op, the 2-3 week stretches away are a huge burden on you. If you don't get to have the career you want but he does I can't see how that doesn't end in in resentment
OP I can totally understand your frustration. Glad to hear you've had a good talk and I hope it translates into positive changes.
We were in a similar-ish position 10 yrs ago (dh works in a different but similarly London-centric industry) and decided to make the move north. It was great while dh's original job was going well, much better work-life balance, lovely house etc. But the reality is there weren't enough other opportunities outside that company and dh had progressed as far as he could within it.
We're now in the very difficult position of him commuting back to London for work and trying to decide if we can afford to move back. Don't enter into the weekly commuting thing lightly would be my advice. I hate it.
Although I don't regret our move - we've had a great (if sometimes difficult) 10 years - being purely practical about it, it would have made more sense to move a bit further out of London and make positive changes to our lifestyle. I have learned that dh is still a bit of a workaholic wherever he's living!
I've got friends who work in the charity sector here and smaller regional charities have been hit v hard by funding cuts. Lots of redundancies and mergers. So not sure how many concrete opportunities would be open to your dh if you moved either. (I think regional offices of bigger charities tend to have a specific function eg back office or are about delivering local services, so depends on your dh's specific role as to whether that would work) I think the recession has hit the regions much harder than London in general, just something to bear in mind.
Just thought I'd share my experience, hope it helps.
It's not just 2-3 weeks Hermione - its then the time needed to 'come back around' to family life after seeing some pretty horrific things. I get it - I used to be involved in a related line of work (but left before TTC) and it would take me a good 6 weeks to feel like 'me' again. It's about processing what you've seen so although you are 'there' physically, you are going through the motions for a while, as your head is elsewhere. Then there's often a big burst of anger or irritability later as you start processing all the things you weren't able to do and can't do to change a global situation in which poor people will continue to be devastated by war/natural events whilst rich ones (by and large) will be ok. Then you feel guilty about your nice, warm cosy house with enough food and other comforts... It is quite a cycle! So I really do GET IT. But boy is it wearing on the receiving end....and with kids? Double hard.
Hi Shoewhore, thanks for letting me know about your experience. That sounds really tough too. I am aware of those kinds of risks - as is DH. This isn't all just bloodymindedness on his part! Isn't it bonkers that it has got to the point where SO much work is settled on London which most normal folk struggle to afford, whilst many of the regions go hang? It makes no sense for us as a country or for us as families trying to live together. I hope things get easier soon.
Hi again. You ask whether putting your health and happiness first, while curtailing his career ambition / flexibility / fulfillment would just be movig the shoe to the other foot. The answer is no, it would not.
Health comes before having one's ideal job in the hierarchy of need.
That's a way to think about it and place things in context - and to see whether you and your DH's hierarchies are the same or not.
What are the bottom line essentials without which your family cannot function, what are the important quality of life issues and what are the nice to haves?
I'd say both your and his health and enough income to get by are in the first category.
Either of you having the ideal, fulfilling job (as opposed to another, quite interesting but occasionally frustrating i.e. normal, job) is probably in the nice to have category.
If the alternative is a very stressful, difficult job as yours seems to be, then getting a normal or more fulfilling job moves into the QoL category and if your health is likely to suffer, potentially seriously, from carrying on in your current job, finding a route out becomes a top priority. So it seems to me that changing your job is more important to the family (while two incomes are needed) than keeping him in his ideal job rather than an ok one.
Btw, I wonder if it might help to think of and talk about your potential for illness differently, translating it into a roughly equivalent physical illness?
I think mental illness can be hard to acknowledge, manage so as to avoid, or quantify risks about, partly because you're wishing it away, partly that it's poorly understood by most people and not easy to talk about but also because while you're well it doesn't seem to be there at all.
If you had say a history of heart disease, with narrowed arteries and a set of risk factors, you'd know the arteries were really and actually furred up, whether you were chosing to think about them or not. They'd be a fact.
Then you'd have a set of risk factors, things to do and things to avoid (diet, exercise, stress etc). You'd know the consequences of doing the wrong things could be catastrophic in a way that might or might not be recoverable from and recovery could be very gradual and come with impairments and increased risk of relapse.
You, your DH, anyone, would be actively supportive of your maintaining your healthy regime, would alter normal domestic patterns to accommodate this and would become concerned quite quickly if something seemed to be slipping in the wrong direction.
It would seem a very unusal spouse who would say 'no, you just carry on eating burgers, finding no time for exercise and getting stressed out at work and, because of disruption to your study, prolonging your time in that job. Sure, there's a serious risk of a heart attack, leaving you incapacitated for a year, or worse but you know, I love my job and I just don't want to talk about changing things to make our lives work better for your health, so as to secure our children's care and happiness, in fact you can forget your self-indulgent 'lifestyle' ideas, I will not hear of changing our current set up in any way taht affects my career-lifestyle choice.'
Well, haven't I just described your situation, more or less exactly, from what you've told us?
I think you need to make your health vulnerabilities real to your DH. Maybe try a 'physical translation' like that, or get him to talk to a professional who can talk through what depression is and what its implications can be. I don't think he'll ever fully grasp it coming only from you because he hasn't seen you ill and won't want to believe it.
He really, really needs to understand that it's the opposite of something that can be left until crisis point is reached. Doing that is actively choosing to make it much, much worse.
That's really, really helpful Lottie - thanks. Actually DH has just agreed to come to Relate with me (see post on Relationships board). So that may be a tack I can try there! Thanks again for all.your care and support, it really gave me the encouragement I needed to ask for couples counselling
ocelot, the come-down thing is exactly the same with the military. I assume aid workers get exactly the same advice and information regarding return from ops. You might find the army families federation website an interesting read. Total parallels in spousal commitment, lack of career progression, having to cope alone for months on end whatever is going on (childbirth, depression etc), deal with the post op tour stuff and PTSD issues, plus moving unexpectedly to the ends of the earth. The AFF have some great ideas and fact sheets.
But ultimately, it's entirely personal choice what you are prepared to commit to. If it has to be 50/50 in your relationship, then that's your bag. There are a lot of spouses in the same position.
Thanks madwoman - looks helpful!

After more than one hour of debate, the state House passed Republican's $1 billion budget-cutting bill as they attempt to take a bite out of a historic $6.2 billion deficit.
The proposal passed with a 68-63 margin, the minimum number of votes required to pass a bill. All Democrats voted against the bill, along with four freshman Republicans in swing or DFL-leaning districts. The freshman were representatives King Banaian, John Kriesel, Deb Kiel and Rich Murray, who switched his vote from yes to no just before the vote was called.
The bill, brought by GOP Rep. Mary Liz Holberg, makes permanent cuts to higher education, local government aid and health care that were part of a budget deal reached at the end of the 2010 session. It also calls on the Minnesota Management and Budget Office to find $200 million in cuts to state government spending.
Democrats criticized the bill, saying it was rushed through the committee process and cuts money from state programs that support veterans, higher education grants and disaster relief. The Senate amended its version of the budget-cutting bill this week after reports that part of the $200 million in state government dollars would hit those areas. Senate Finance Chair Claire Robling reduced the total to $125 million in state government cuts.
"How many of you sent out mailers or said on the raido that you were going to cut veterans," DFL Rep. Larry Hosch said. "Even the Senate realized that our veterans and our students and our most vulnerable children were going to get cut and they amended it in committee."
Republicans defended the bill, saying they were taking the responsible route and tackling part of the deficit now, instead of waiting for the economic forecast to come out. "I'd rather go into the February forecast with a $5 billion problem than a $6 billion problem," GOP Rep. Greg Davids said.
Holberg agreed: "We've got a big problem in front of us," she said. "To start working on this now makes sense."
When asked about his no vote, Kriesel said he agreed with a lot of cuts in the bill, but thought there were better ways to balance the budget, citing a racino proposal. He also noted the $200 million figure. "I don't feel comfortable voting for reductions that I don't know what they are," he said. Kriesel is an Iraq War veteran.
Reporter Paul Demko contributed to this report.

Album Rating: 3.5Thanks Benji, and holy shit, congrats on the promo Atari!
Your your in the first paragraph
"I couldn't be seen listening to this shallow surfie junk."
this sentence is kind of redundant
"The solos were simplistic but more emotional than any 515 note-a-minute solo, the vocals just felt that bit more authentic."
You'll probably want a comma before but, and an and before "the vocals"
"You could hear the fact that there was in fact feeling behind the lyrics, no matter how repetitive they were or how often they were said."
Using fact twice is redundant, unless you're using repetition for emphasis
There's a bit too much band name dropping, the personal experience style works pretty well though.
Digging: Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights

By: Sherry Levine, Regular Contributor
I remember the first time I realized my parents were human. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I can't remember what triggered the thought, maybe I saw one of them cry or look stressed or sad. But it dawned on me, they're people like me. They were once me, young and energetic, fearless and hopeful. As I thought about myself, as a child and what I wanted to be when I was older, and the family I wanted to have, and the dreams I had for myself, I immediately thought of my parents.
Had they lived and accomplished all the dreams and goals they had as a child? Is this the life they saw for themselves? Probably not entirely, but I think yes. As people I realized, they must have regrets, insecurities and fears just like I do and will when I'm older. They have worries and stresses and wake up wondering if they are being good parents, good people and good friends. As I get older this becomes more and more apparent. Every year is a brand new journey.
As children we have a tendency to look at our parents as only parents. Our parents are older and have always been older. They have always been parents. It's hard to see them as adults who were once kids and teenagers, teenagers like we were or are, enjoying life, acting stupid and falling in love. To us, they are somewhat immortal. They can't get hurt, they don't get sick, don't cry, don't make mistakes, have everything figured out and know exactly what they're doing in any situation. When I first realized this wasn't true I immediately felt for my parents. I understood them. I wanted to be there for them. I wanted them to know I understand that in the midst of growing older, experiencing hardships and trying to raise a family, they are just doing their best.
Image from ignite.me
I have a lot of friends who have parents that have gotten sick or divorced or are struggling with life. Seeing a parent in such a vulnerable, weak position must be so incredibly difficult. I feel for all of my friends and think of them as very strong for dealing with situations like that. We do see our parents as immortal. If we can understand that they are people experiencing heartache and pain the same way we can, we may be able to create a beautiful relationship with them, a mutually understanding and loving relationship with them.
No matter how old, successful, powerful or strong. No matter how put together, wise or patient. Every age we reach is our first time at that age, our first time to embark on a different journey, our first time to experience that new chapter of our lives. My parents have never been 60 and 67 years old. They don't know what to expect. Between body changes, perception changes and new obstacles to face, every year to them is just as new as every year to us.
Try to remember these things the next time you get into a tiff or fight with a parent. Next time you see your parent upset or stressed out. Be there for them as they are for you, try to understand where they're coming from and why they are acting strict or protective, and remember they are too doing their best. They are sometimes sad, confused, and unsure, they do worry that they are doing the right thing. They make mistakes, they are sometimes mean and sometimes wrong but they are raising us, they want the best for us and they are learning. They get scared of getting older and they are trying to be happy. As they get older, as we get older, they experience new things, losing parents, siblings and friend. Watching us grow older, become our own people and become parents. It never gets old, and it's never easy. They are still living life. And we all will, until the very end.

I recently wrote about my Golden Rules for fat loss and how to accelerate fat loss. The right foods create a stable foundation for fat loss, but other strategies complement and enhance that foundation.
Let's talk exercise here. As the heat cranks up, so should your workout routine.
When I say crank up your routine, I don't mean spend more time at the gym or running an extra mile by the lake. If you've read my blog about how the wrong exercise can make you fat, you know I'm not a fan of steady-state cardio.
Move More
What I do approve of, though, is moving more. My good friend Dr. Jade Teta says walking isn't exercise; it's essential. Your Paleolithic ancestors walked miles every day. They didn't have hybrid cars or public transportation, nor did they wear super-comfy walking shoes. They walked because they had to.
Every day presents numerous opportunities to move more. Walk your dog around the block. Instead of sitting at a coffee shop, make a park date with your friend.
Stop finding excuses not to move. You're never going to suddenly have a free hour in your day, so be creative and work it in whenever you can. Do some squats or a plank during TV commercials. Make a rule that you must move for at least five minutes during every work hour rather than stay glued to your laptop. It's like those bank commercials used to say: It all adds up.
When you move, wear a tracker. What you measure, you can improve. Everything counts, and I want you to squeeze in an hour of walking every day. You can do this with even the busiest schedule.
But let's be clear: This does not count towards your exercise quota. Walking provides a world of benefits, including reducing your stress hormone cortisol, but it doesn't build muscle or burn fat.
Intensity becomes key to get lean and toned. You want to get hot and sweaty. It should hurt a little bit (but not too much). That's my definition of exercise. I want you to move more, but to blast fat you've got to step up your game.
My two favorite ways to incorporate intense, fat-blasting exercise include burst training and weight resistance.
Burst to Blast Fat
You can do burst training anywhere. I love the Xiser, my favorite lightweight portable machine that can give you a butt-kicking workout in just minutes a day.
Park hills and hotel stairwells also make great places to do burst training. If you're on a 10-day Honolulu vacation and don't want to spend an hour in the hotel gym, find the stairwell or sprint in the sand. You can do burst training nearly everywhere.
I've written extensively about burst training's vast benefits, including turning your body into an all-day fat-burning machine, raising testosterone and other anabolic hormones, and curbing hunger and cravings. Burst training is the ultimate anti-aging hormone because it boosts hormones like growth hormone (GH) and doesn't keep your stress hormone cortisol ramped up like endurance exercise can.
Lift Heavy
My other favorite exercise is strength training. I still see females shy away from heavy lifting, fearing they will develop bulky arms or otherwise turn into She-Woman. Can we put that myth to rest once and for all? You want to become lean and toned, and strength training is your ticket to get that look.
Muscle is your metabolic Spanx that boosts metabolism, keeps everything together, and gives you a toner tighter look. You can disguise toneless arms and a flabby midsection with bulky sweaters, but you can't wear Spanx to the beach, right? Eventually you're going to be outed.
I've pulled burst training and weight resistance together in my 4 x 4 Workouts, which you can do in just 15 minutes, three times a week. You can fit an entire week's intense, fat-burning workouts in under an hour. Don't believe me? Grab a free 4 x 4 Workout here.
So get moving, because summer will be here before you know it. Do you follow a different fitness routine during warmer weather? And do you have any upcoming trips where you need to become lean and toned quickly? Share your story below or on my Facebook fan page.

Keeping with our Christmas tradition, we wore matching pajamas for the third year in a row. We wore Sesame Street themed pajamas this year. It was fun times. We love doing Christmas at home now that we have Henry. It is so peaceful and fun. We stayed in our pajamas all of Christmas Day. Nothing like a day in the pajamas. Those are rare for us these days. It was bliss.
Christmas with a 2 year old is fun and exhausting. Capturing him on camera is difficult these days. We were thrilled to get him sitting still looking into the camera. Marmie got him the Elmo shoes. Such a cute added touch. I sure do love this little Christmas cutie!
Because Henry was such a good boy this year Santa visited him in a big way. Santa had 4 helpers that worked hard putting it all together. Henry got his own house, mortgage paid! He also got an extra large dump truck and a work bench. His Nana and Papa gave him the Mickey Mouse bike. His stocking was busting at the seams too. Santa likes Henry a lot!
This was Henry's reaction to Santa's gifts. His little smile and squeal were priceless. My camera was on its last leg so the photo was really poor quality. Thankfully my in-laws saw fit to gift me with a new camera and I opened it soon after this photo was taken!
He ran to his house first. He was overwhelmed I think. I know Santa was just as excited as he was to watch his face light up.
He spotted the dump truck from his house and had to check it out. He ran to get his old one and to compare the size. He was funny sizing them up. It is about 3 times the size of his old one. I think he has pushed it into every room of our house. Poor thing is ready to play outside again. He loves pushing his trucks and filling them up with all his little stuff. He is so funny.
Next he had to check out his work bench. He will have lots of projects to work on I am sure. He loves to push the button and make the saw cut. He even tried to lick it while it was on. Randall quickly gave him a lesson on safety while at work. We might have to call Mr. Sam and have him do a safety inspection (Melissa's husband is a safety man).
Henry loves his Mickey bike from his Nana and Papa. If he can get the pedaling down he might just ride on down the road. He loves to go!
Henry wanted us to visit him in his house. He held me hostage for a while. Daddy gave me my rations and communicated with me through the window during the stand off. Henry finally let me go and that was nice. I would let him hold me hostage in his house all day if he wanted.
Henry also had fun with our gifts. What is mine is his these days...and what is his is not mine! So true and funny. He loved climbing on the cooler his daddy got from Nana and Papa. I think he thought it was a toy box. Christmas is so fun with Henry. I love sharing the joy of the season with our baby boy.

Baseline study: Legal and regulatory framework in Colombia on VAW and ICT - Executive summary
Executive summary
This executive summary outlines the baseline for the present legal and regulatory framework in Colombia on violence against women (VAW) and information and communication technologies (ICT).
The data was gathered by collecting information on the legal and regulatory framework. Three main aspects were identified: 1. The criminal offenses defined in the Criminal Code and related to a greater or lesse degree to the violence against women and ICT. 2. The criminal offenses related directly to ICT and VAW. 3. The information technology offenses which are related to the use of ICT for committing crimes against privacy, property, public trust, etc. In the case of women those offenses committed against their life, personal integrity, freedom, autonomy, and dignity among others.
1. Conclusions
- There is neither legal regulation nor public policy in Colombia linking VAW directly with ICT. Therefore, it is necessary to appeal to the Human Rights Law in The Colombian Constitution and to International Treaties ratified by the Colombian government. Our conclusion is that there is a legal gap regarding VAW and ICT.
- To do advocacy work aimed at including all VAW programmes, plans and projects within an ICT framework.
- There is no critical route to tackle the issue of VAW in the context of the new ICT, which would enable working together with organizations and institutions denouncing, and preventing VAW. This critical route will facilitate a proposal for an inter-institutional intervention aimed at preventing and denouncing VAW considering the ICT framework.
2. Suggestions and intervention strategies
- Adopt the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, CEDAW and the Convención Interamericana de Belém do Pará in the Colombian legal framework and policies in order to prevent, penalise and erradicate violence against women. The defense of the right to a Life Free of Violence and its relationship with ICT always should be based in the International Human Rights Framework considering the conventions, treaties and other tools and international mechanisms ratified by Colombia in the national standards.
- Produce a technical document compiling all the related regulations with a juridical analysis of their content and from a gender perspective, in order to formulate juridical and policy intervention proposals to support the advocacy work needed to make possible the change in legislation and people's movilization.
- Design a critical route led by women's organizations as representatives of civil society in order to make specific proposals regarding VAW and ICT to the government.
- Produce technical-juridical documentation including cases of violence against women and ICT and draw an advocacy strategy in order to produce draft legislation to be added to Law 1257 of 2008 and Law 1273 of 2009 and/or draw new legislation including VAW and ICT.
- Inclusion of the Principle of Equality and Non Discrimination. This is another juridical argument which has to be taken into – account when implementing the juridical- political strategy within the women's human rights framework. Therefore, the technical – juridical documentation have to include this principle explaining the reasons why VAW take place within the ICT.

In this heartbreakingly beautiful book of disillusioned intimacy and persistent yearning, beloved and celebrated author Andre Dubus III explores the bottomless needs and stubborn weaknesses of people seeking gratification in food and sex, work and love.
In these linked novellas in which characters walk out the back door of one story and into the next, love is "dirty" - tangled up with need, power, boredom, ego, fear, and fantasy. On the Massachusetts coast north of Boston, a controlling manager, Mark, discovers his wife's infidelity after 25 years of marriage. An overweight young woman, Marla, gains a romantic partner but loses her innocence. A philandering bartender/aspiring poet, Robert, betrays his pregnant wife. And in the stunning title novella, a teenage girl named Devon, fleeing a dirty image of her posted online, seeks respect in the eyes of her widowed great-uncle Francis and of an Iraq vet she's met surfing the Web.
Slivered by happiness and discontent, aging and death, but also persistent hope and forgiveness, these beautifully wrought narratives express extraordinary tenderness toward human beings, our vulnerable hearts and bodies, our fulfilling and unfulfilling lives alone and with others.
©2013 Andre Dubus III (P)2013 Audible Inc.
"Dubus is an outstanding author, for sure, and here his narrator's voice shines just as brightly as his literary one." (AudioFile)
"First rate fiction by a dazzling talent." (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review)
"I can think of no novelist who renders the gritty, down-and-out corners of New England better than Dubus, and those beautifully specific, contained slices of American life open into whole universes of love, violence, guilt, and betrayal." (The New Republic)
"This one was tough to get through, because it rips your heart out."
With Debus III you come to know you will get people. You will be taken inside them. You will inhabit their lives and see through their eyes. But you will also feel the torpor of their loins and the fatigue in their muscles and you will bear the harpies in their heads and be enlisted to shoulder the burden of their souls. When he takes you down the lanes of these fucked up people, which we all are, that empathy he feeds you can be a very bitter pill. Maybe that best sums up Andre Debus III's writing for me, NO SUGAR COATING. And when your medicine is being administered - all his characters struggle with their medicine - you think, a little sugar might go along way. But he's unrelenting in his eye of honesty. And in his own voice reading it to you like so much truth upon truth, it all wounds and heals at the same time. There were moments in this book where I felt I couldn't go on. But by the end, it had ended far too soon, as Crazy Love always does.
"Good book, bad reading."
Dubus is an excellent writer and these stories explore all manner of nuances of human relationships.
But Dubus is not an actor. He would be perfectly fine to listen to for an hour were he to give a reading; but he cannot be expected to read an entire book the way a good actor would. The reading interfered with my enjoyment of the excellent prose.
"sadly the narration is a big problem"
I honestly feel bad saying that the author of the book, who is a wonderful author, does not do the reading of this justice.
His pace is very laboured and dull and since the book has such a heavy subject matter it is hard to listen to.
"Love and Indifference"
Ok here's what I think worked in this book..... The novellas/ short stories/novel held my interest throughout. The authors desire to delve into the emotions and messiness of romantic relationships was apparent from beginning to end, making the story/stories interesting and somewhat insightful. And many of the characters were well developed and interestng.
Ok......so what I think didn't work so well was this author again decided to narrate his own book. Mr Dubus'111 narration this time, in attempt I believe to avoid the monotone issue of his narration in his memoir Townie, Dubus111 narrates this book in a sing song style that for me is reminiscent of the style of slam poets. I found this narration style distracting and unfortunately not a positive asset to this book.
Also what is going on with so many authors recent works? The endings are non-endings. The "endings"seem to be from the "figure it out for yourself" school of thought. Is it just my imagination that more and more authors now are choosing to end their books this way?
So if I could I'd give this book a solid 3.5. Good, not great.
"Not His Best Work..."
Toning down on the oral sex.
Not sure if I will listen to another book by this author. "Sand & Fog" was AWESOME and it got me hooked on this author, but "Dirty Love" was "Down-Right Dirty" to me. IMHO there was too much talk about the young lady and her exploits!
Narration should have been performed by someone else to keep my attention.
The over-the-top and amount of time/effort on the exploits of the young lady.
Initially, I was intrigued and liked the book, but as the story developed I lost interest and then got a little disturbing to me.
"Hire a professional audio actor"
First story was repetitive and should have been edited more. The author's tone of voice made it very hard for me to listen, just grating, lackadaisical, whining and irritating to me. I stopped after 6 plus hours and could not bring myself to finish. Please hire someone like Scott Brick.
Edit the first story. Way too much internal dialogue.
"If you want to take a nap, listen to this one."
I love to listen to books while I'm driving. Unfortunately, this book will not be on my listening list because I'm afraid I'll fall asleep. Even if the book is good, I'll never know because the performer was so dreadful.
Amy Tan's newest
Irritation and boredom.
I probably would have liked this book, but the performance was so droll and unemotional I couldn't listen. I made several attempts, but got to the point where I was unable to follow the story line because of that irritating voice.
"dubus is back with intriguing cast of character"
I usually find short stories and the audiobook medium to not lend themselves to each other, as the unchanging narrative voice can mislead the listener into a blending of storylines, themes, and styles. This can't be said for Dirty Love, in which the four stories contained all revolve around not only the same themes (realistic, frustrated, and trying love), but also build a snapshot of different communities in the Northeast. The novellas and novel as a whole ask the listener/reader to reconsider the societal distractions and sicknesses that dilute the purity of romance and
To the reviewers that had a problem with Dubus' narration, I thought that his tired, weary, and at times angst driven performance was perfectly fitting for the stories. His distinctive Northeastern drawl matches the setting of the stories, and he guides the listener forward slowly, often pausing to allow us to take in the gravity and implications of its characters, conversely, the age in which we live. I'd especially recommend this to those who enjoyed Townie, as disappointment, disbelief, and devastation that make up these stories can be traced back to the author's own upbringing.
"Dark Dirty Love"
I enjoyed listening to the author read it, but it may have taken on a different feel if read by someone else.
Probably not. Did not enjoy this story much. Very dark characters that have like able characteristics despite their addictions to sex and booze. But they never get out of the hell they are in. I wanted to hear more about what happened to a character and the book would move onto a new character. I thought that at the end there might be a revisiting of characters as to what happens to them even if it was sad.
Dark story of dirty love with lots of sadness in their life's. While I don't mind reading about sorrow and loss, their seems to be no redemption.
"Drone, drone, drone....OmG make it stop."
Just stupid of me - that's all I can say. I've not followed my earlier in life protocol for picking books and I'm highly paying for it. :(

Thirdly, we are prepared to do more in terms of police, of the gendarmes, the military police, in terms of economic aid, in order to train Afghans and Afghanize Afghanistan. We are not waging a war against Afghanistan. We are helping Afghanistan rebuild. We don't support any given candidate. We support the right of young Afghans to look to a future, to have a future.
And on this, as on other matters, we sat down, we talked, I listened to President Obama, he listened to my problems and issues, and we tried to find solutions. That is exactly how we proceeded, that is how we intend to proceed. We will continue to work that way. And I would like to say all Frenchmen and women who are proud and happy that the President of the United States should be standing here in our country — and he'll be returning on the 6th of June — and that we will welcome him magnificently in this Normandy, where there are so many young men from your country who are buried.
But people must regain confidence. We are aware of the difficulties. We know what the difficulties are. We know that we need global responses, respond together to these issues. And it feels really good to be able to work with a U.S. President who wants to change the world and who understands that the world does not boil down to simply American frontiers and borders. And that is a hell of a good piece of news for 2009.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you, everybody.

Kenneth Harding, the 19-year-old killed by San Francisco police in a shootout Saturday, was a convicted pimp accused of having a 13-year-old girl perform oral sex on him and later demanding the teen make him "ho' money" in Seattle, court documents show.
Harding, a Seattle resident, was fatally shot by two cops in the Bayview district after he fired at them, according to San Francisco police. Harding had been detained for evading a Muni fare about 4:45 p.m. on the Muni platform near Third Street and Oakdale Avenue.
The suspect tried to make a run for it, and opened fire "indiscriminately" in the crowded Mendell Plaza, firing off multiple shots as the cops chased him, police said.
Harding was also the "person of interest" in a fatal quadruple shooting last week in South Seattle that killed 19-year-old Tanaya Gilbert, along with her unborn child.
He had only been released from a year prison stay in April after a conviction for first-degree promoting prostitution, San Francisco police said. His rap sheet also includes a robbery conviction.
The teen victim called police saying Harding stranded her on a Seattle street after trying to force her to prostitute on "the track" near Seattle Center. The victim, who had turned 14 by then, refused, police said.
Harding commanded her to charge $50 for oral sex and $100 for full sex, and gave her several condoms to use, according to the victim's account to police. She told Harding "no, that she is not a whore," the police report said.
He told her "she was either going to make "ho' money" and get a ride back or he was going to leave her there," the report said. Harding ended up stranding her on a strange street, it said.
Police arrested Harding on Jan. 7 of last year after the victim led cops to his home.
"She said that was where she had oral sex with him on Feb. 6, 2009, when he was under home detention for armed robbery," the police report said.
Harding's death in San Francisco on Saturday has sparked outrage in the Bayview community. Protestors say police officers did not need to shoot and kill Harding, with some believing he was unarmed.
Witnesses to the shooting told police they saw a man pick up the suspect's gun and run off with two other men, Police Chief Greg Suhr said.
Informants led police to what is believed to be the suspect's .45-caliber handgun, which is now being tested, Suhr said.
Community leaders held a news conference Monday near the sight of the shooting. They are demanding that the FBI investigate the incident. They also want San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón to have nothing to do with the case, since he is The City's former police chief.
"I don't care if this kid was like the chainsaw massacre poster child," activist Mesha Irizarry said. "You don't die like a rabid dog with nobody helping you."
Protestors accuse cops of doing nothing while the injured Harding lay dying in front of numerous witnesses.
Police planned a news conference on the matter at 2 p.m.
Both officers, at least one of whom was black, have been placed on administrative leave during an investigation by the department's internal affairs, the District Attorney's Office, the Office of Citizen Complaints and the homicide detail.
Below is a video from the scene after San Francisco police shot Harding. Warning, it is graphic.

The Motorola Milestone XT720 has just come available with a regional US carrier — Cincinnati Bell. Certainly good news for those customers who may be looking for something Android flavored. This release also gives hope that the Milestone XT720 could possibly come available with others here in the US market. Otherwise, the Milestone XT720 features a 3.7 inch FWVGA (854 x 480) touchscreen display, 720MHz TI OMAP3440 processor, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, GPS, 8 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and is running Android 2.1. All said and done, the XT720 a nicely spec'd phone. In terms of pricing, expect to pay $199.99. Though it is worth mentioning, that price comes along with a two year agreement and after a $100 mail-in-rebate.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Kidney transplantKidney transplantDuring kidney transplant surgery, the donor kidney is placed in your lower abdomen. Blood vessels of the new kidney are attached to blood vessels in the lower part of your abdomen, just above one of your legs. The new kidney's ureter (urine tube) is connected to your bladder. Unless they are causing complications, your own kidneys are left in place. A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a live or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine just below the rib cage. Each one is about the size of a fist. Their main function is to filter and remove excess waste, minerals and fluid from the blood by producing urine. When your kidneys lose this filtering ability, harmful levels of fluid and waste accumulate in your body, which can raise your blood pressure and result in kidney failure (end-stage renal disease, which is also known as end-stage kidney disease). End-stage renal disease occurs when the kidneys have lost about 90 percent of their ability to function normally. Common causes of end-stage renal disease include: Diabetes Chronic, uncontrolled high blood pressure Chronic glomerulonephritis — an inflammation and eventual scarring of the tiny filters within your kidneys (glomeruli) Polycystic kidney disease People with end-stage renal disease need to have waste removed from their bloodstream via a machine (dialysis) or a kidney transplant to stay alive.

Samsung Electronics (SSNLF[1]) faced another controversy regarding a stolen photo when a person won one of its camera contests with someone else's work.
The company held the #LiveInTheMoment contest on Facebook's (GOOG[2]) Instagram and chose user 'bogdhan' as the winner according to The Wall Street Journal[3]. However, the photo that he used was later discovered to belong to Indonesian photographer Hengki Koentjoro.
The photographer contacted Samsung after seeing the picture on the internet and noticed that it was simply a cropped and flipped version of his picture with a filter. Samsung disqualified bogdhan from the contest after confirming that the original photo belongs to Koentjoro.
Samsung attempted to contact the user several times but they couldn't reach bogdhan because his account has been changed since the incident. The company came under fire back in May for another instance of online copyright infringement when they used a street photographer's work for its ads without his permission.

Yields on Egyptian three- and nine-month treasury bills increased for a fourth week on Sunday as tensions heightened ahead of the countrywide protests expected next week to mark the first anniversary of Mohamed Mursi's election as president.
The average yield on 91-day treasury bills inched up to 14.211 percent from 14.025 percent at last week's auction while that on 266-day-T bills rose to 14.883 percent from 14.741 percent, the central bank said.
"We see rates rising in the coming auctions as political tension grows ahead of 30 June, and the odds of them falling even after 30 June are thin, unless we see national consensus," said Cairo-based fixed-income dealer Ahmed Kheir Eldin.
Opponents and supporters of Mursi, who was the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, have grown increasingly polarised in recent weeks, and many fear the protests could turn bloody.
Shortly after the auction result was announced Egypt's army issued a warning to rival political factions, saying that it would not stand by if the political rallies descended into conflict.
The bank offered and accepted 2.5 billion Egyptian pounds ($357 million) for the 91-day T-bills, while it offered 3 billion pounds for the 266-day-T-bills but only accepted 1.37 billion pounds.

I work for a small bus operator in Glasgow which struggles to compete against the larger companies.
The key to our success is a combination of good time keeping and affordable fares. If bus lanes were removed, we would struggle to meet our timetable requirements, as our drivers would be faced with daily traffic chaos.
I find it strange that, as a former bus driver, Councillor Malcolm Balfour fails to see these basic benefits to both the bus operators and the travelling public.

Games grumps
AS SOMEONE who lives near Tollcross Swimming Pool and uses Tollcross Park for exercise and dog walking, it looks like I will not be able to use the park during Games events. The roads I use to travel to work will also be restricted.
When previous events were held at the pool it was chaos, with not enough on-site parking, and some jobsworths trying to stop me walking my dog by the venue.
Come the Games, I will have to apply for a permit to park in my own street.
Meanwhile, the great and the good will whizz by in special traffic lanes. Where was the consultation on this?

End of the Road
I lived in the Red Road flats for 16 years before being relocated to a new property nearby.
I understand the issues faced by those who live in the flats - dampness and failing heating systems being two I could list.
The buildings have outlived their use, their demolition should have taken place in the late 1990s when I was relocated. Most of the flats are now barely fit to provide an acceptable standard of housing.
It's time to remove them and make way for regeneration. These buildings are little more than an eyesore and a cause of misery for those who have to live in the conditions that come with their tenancies in these crumbling shelters.

Leading Organizations - HEC ParisCoursera
Important information
- Course
- Online
There are no opinions on this course yet
What you'll learn on the course
Course programme
This course is the last course of the a Specialization on Leadership called "Inspirational Leadership: Leading with Sense", so you may want to take the courses "Building Your Leadership Skills" and "Giving Sense to your Leadership Experience" prior of taking this course. In this course you'll get the opportunity to apply the skills learned in the first two courses of the "Inspirational Leadership: Leading with Sense" as an individual to a group setting. The group could not only be an organization such as a company or a team in a company, but also a private group such as your family or an association. Specifically, you'll apply the 4 steps of The Savoir-Relier protocol to your group: 1. defining the group identity by working on the group self-awareness, 2. creating quality relationships within the group, 3. working on resilience for the group to then be able to overcome difficult situation and 4. Making the organization grow by creating sense and meaning. So if you want your group to grow as a successful leader in its fields, if you want to find your identity as a group and create shared values for it, or if you want your group to become more resilient in face of change and crisis, this course is made for you! Finally, at the end of the course, you would have build sense for your group in order to be more efficient. Using real-life cases you will see how the genuine, generous and generative characteristics apply to the development of successful organizations. For example, you will apply the Relational Circuit to recruit effectively, or the Self-Portrait and Conversation exercises to create team cohesion and resilience to overcome crises and interpersonal conflicts. You will be able to form trustworthy relationships in spite of diverging or different views, and you will grow respect in your environment where sense will be a driver for you and your surrounding. Leaders from different organizations, will share with you their insights about how they have applied the Savoir-Relier approach to their company and how it has made the company more resilience and competitive.Online learning plays a key role in lifelong learning. In fact, a recent report by the United States Department of Education found that "the courses that include online education (either completely virtual or blended learning) produce, on average, much stronger learning outcomes for students courses They are conducted exclusively in person. Based on an approach developed by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom, the mastery learning helps students to fully understand a subject before moving on to a more advanced. In Coursera, usually we give an answer immediately to the concepts that the student does not understand feedback. In many cases, we offer random versions of assessments for the student to return to school and retrying until mastered the concept.

Eleven kinds of patties at Burgerim
Beef, turkey, lamb, chicken, dry aged, salmon, veggie, Spanish beef (chorizo), wagyu beef, and merguez
Ed Bedford 4 p.m., Nov. 22
4661 Park Boulevard, University Heights
'"She gives me everything…and tenderly…"
Her voice rings out loud, clear, and beautiful. She's singing along with the Beatles tune on the sound system, "And I Love Her," looking at the tiny baby in her arms, and when it comes to the last line, she makes it "…and I love you."
This is happening in a little restaurant in Uptown. There's only me, a couple of others at the back, the chef, the server. Still, this gal is fearless, sitting in the window seat. Then her guy comes in. She hands him the baby.
"Six weeks," she says when I ask how old the kid is.
The place we're in is called Savory Deli & Market. Easy to miss.
I almost did. I was sauntering down Park Boulevard, passing under the University Heights sign at about 8:00. Love this part of town at night. It glows. I resisted the temptation of places like El Zarape, Soltán Banoo, and was almost to Adams when I saw a sign in a window: "Gazpacho."
Gazpacho! My dad loved that. He used to make it for us when he felt the world wasn't such a bad place, after all. It's one of those hot-weather Spanish soups, served cold. Then I see the sign that says, "Specializing in the regional foods of Spain, France, Italy." And another sign: "Paella Saturday." I've never cottoned to paella, big jambalaya mess of mostly rice, but it has its fanatics. I want to be cool and love it and its saffron whatever…maybe some Saturday. Meanwhile: gazpacho!
I walk into this half-deli, half-eatery. The eating side's modest. Cream paint, black tables, black chairs. Red back wall. But then they've spiced it up with full-size flags. French, Italian, Sicilian (red and yellow, with three running legs sprouting out from the Medusa head at the center), Corsican. The flags drape the walls and ceilings. They give it a weirdly good vibe.
But Mike the server-owner says no more gazpacho today — they're out. I check the rest of the menu. Sandwiches and soups and salads. "But our bread is different," says Mike. "Piadina. From Romagna, Italy. It goes back to the 1300s. We learned how to make it when we were over there."
It turns out Mike and the chef, co-owner Julius, spent most of the past decade in Italy, France, and Spain, studying how folks cooked. "We were reverse explorers," Mike says.
They have five piadina sandwiches, all in the $7 range. The prosciutto has mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil ($7.50). The alioli is like the prosciutto, but with a garlic-mayo spread ($7.65). There's a bunch of vegetarian piadina; the roasted veggie ($7.20) is zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, goat cheese, and tapenade (chopped olives, capers, anchovies with olive oil). That sounds pretty tasty. Oh, and there's a manchego/quince ($7.50), with melted manchego sheep's milk cheese (Manchego means from La Mancha, like Don Quixote) and quince paste. I remember eating quince as a kid. Tasted — and looked — like a strange yellow apple-pear. So that sounds interesting, too.
Then Mike throws me a curve. "Are you really hungry? Because we have pastas, and…let me check." He heads off to where Julius is slaving away in the kitchen.
While he's gone, I check out the pastas. One really grabs me: pasta lunghe (long pasta) with mussels in a garlic-wine sauce (small $5.40, large $10.80). Oh, man. Gotta have that.
"Yes!" says Mike when he gets back. "Julius made a beef bourguignon today. And he still has some…"
Decisions, decisions. Just so happens I l-o-v-e beef bourguignon, despite disappointments, like the watery stews you so often get. In the end, I go for both, the small pasta lunghe and the plate of beef bourguignon (even though it's $12), plus a small coffee ($1.45, with refills). Farewell, Jackson.
They are definitely both worth it. The dish of spaghetti with four mussels, lots of garlic, an awesome wine sauce, and chunks of French bread to sop it all up — it's heaven. I'm bread-wiping my bowl clean and dry when Mike arrives with the beef stew (that's what it is, except the beef's been soaked in wine and herbs, which make it as far from Irish stew as, oh, Mars is from Earth). Mike says they marinate it in burgundy for a morning and slow-cook all day. The meat is fall-away tender, winey, garlicky, with pearl onions, 'shrooms, and pancetta — a kind of Italian bacon — to sex it up.
I say to Mike, "All we need is a glass of red plonk."
"We're expecting our wine-and-beer license any day," he says. "But you're always welcome to bring in your own."
That's when Roger, Eliza, and their six-week-old baby, Raiden, come in. They order gnocchi (potato dumplings, small $4.99, large $7.99) and the piadina alioli. They tell me they love them both.
Roger's an artist. Eliza's a singer and actress, an expert in accents. She's from L.A., and she's voiced "most of the chick voices" on South Park. "And I'm Rebecca in [the game] Assassin's Creed II."
So this is the point when Roger takes off (to check parking? take a phone call?) and Eliza starts singing to baby Raiden, along with McCartney on the sound system. The few of us in here stop eating and listen.
"Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die…"
I ask Eliza about her singing, 'cause, man, that's quite a voice. "I might be getting together with Shawn Rohlf. You know, 7th Day Buskers?"
Uh, wracking my brain. I should know who this is…
Julius is stacking chairs when Eliza, Roger, Raiden, me, and the two other stragglers finally get out of here.
It's that kind of place. ■

Geology Seminar, Friday 4/18, 1:30-2:30 PM
Bill deLorraine (St. Lawrence Zinc Co.) talks on Balmat Zn Deposits of New York State
Geology Seminar, Friday 4/18, 1:30-2:30 PM
After graduation from Watkins Glen High School (soft rock country) Bill moved to Potsdam (hard rock country and good mineral collecting) where he studied Geology at SUNY Potsdam. Upon graduation in 1974, Bill landed a job as a surface diamond drill "core logger" in the Geology Dept. at the St. Joe Zinc mines at Balmat, NY after having applied for "any job at all". Before long he was underground logging core and mapping development headings in the Fowler orebody of the new #4 Mine and mill complex at Balmat. During the course of that year he gathered map,structural, and geochemical data from the Fowler that ultimately became incorporated into his MSc from UMass at Amherst, 1979. There he studied under Leo Hall, longtime "Friend of the Grenville", with emphasis on metamorphic structure, metamorphic petrology and economic geology. Bill enjoys mineral collecting all over the NW Adirondacks and environs, collaborating with colleagues including Dr. James Carl, Dr. Jeff Chiarenzelli, Severn Brown, trying to decipher the structural geology of the Balmat zinc mines, the ultimate genesis of the zinc deposits, and determining the whereabouts of the proverbial "Mother Lode".

With the election behind us, small business owners should keep a close eye on the White House for some significant changes in corporate tax policy that could inspire many to consider a change in their legal entity structure. Pressure on corporate tax rates has been building for years. Studies show that U.S. corporate tax rates are the highest among the world's industrialized countries, second perhaps only to Japan. Over the past decade, nearly 50 Fortune Global 500 companies have moved their headquarters off shore to countries where they enjoy lower tax rates. Roughly 85% of global companies headquartered in the United States have operations in countries that U.S. authorities have identified as "tax havens," or places where tax policy is friendlier than at home. Tax law allows companies to forego paying U.S. tax on their foreign earnings when companies say those earnings are permanently reinvested offshore, and U.S. authorities are taking note of the growing number of companies that are building significant resources outside the United States as a result. Our elected leaders in Washington, Republicans and Democrats alike, have come to recognize that those mounting offshore earnings could do a great deal to stimulate the economy at home. They've also come to realize that perhaps the biggest reason those earnings are kept offshore is because companies do not want to suffer the consequences of steep U.S. corporate tax policy. It was a point of debate through the election season, with both parties conceding that tax policy needs to change to produce some economic stimulus. This is one campaign promise that will be hard to set aside when new presidential and Congressional terms get under way. The prevailing thinking on corporate tax reform is that the top-line tax rate on C corporations will drop from its current rate of 35% to perhaps as low as 28%. For small businesses that currently are organized as an S corporation, or even a partnership or limited liability corporation, a change of this type could make it appealing to reorganize as a C corp. True, most small business owners like the pass-through tax approach that comes with S corps, LLCs and similar arrangements, in which income is not taxed at the entity level. Rather, it is taxed only at the individual level when the income is distributed to the shareholders in the business. Any business owner taxed at a rate lower than the 35% currently charged on C corp income ultimately will pay less tax under such a scenario. However, if the C corp tax rate were to drop to 28%, that rate might well be lower than many small business owners or shareholders are paying on an individual basis. Suddenly, the idea of taxing that income at the entity level might pique a business owner's interest. Consider an example: Assume a small, family-owned business has taxable income in a given year of $1 million. As an individual taxpayer, the business owner is in the 35% tax bracket. As an S corporation, the earnings are distributed to the owner and recognized through the personal tax return for a tax liability of $350,000. Now assume the top corporate tax rate for C corps is reduced to 28%, as most experts predict will soon occur. If that same business were organized as a C corp, the total tax liability would be $280,000. If the business owner receives a dividend of $100,000 in the tax year, which is taxed at 15%, that would increase the tax liability by $15,000 for a total tax bill of $295,000, still a bargain compared with the $350,000 to be paid as an S corporation. A more thorough analysis also would assess the tax impact even further down the road, when the owner is prepared to perhaps sell the business one day as part of an exit or retirement strategy. At that point, the benefits to being a C corporation under a reduced corporate tax rate may be outweighed by the double tax associated with selling the business's assets and then distributing the proceeds to the owners in liquidation. Of course, with all things political, Washington is impossible to predict. However, there's a great deal of momentum behind this particular movement. Small business owners should be aware of it and be prepared to consider their course of action. Mr. DeMarco is vice president and director of the tax services group at the regional accounting and business consulting firm of Meaden & Moore, headquartered in Cleveland.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said that his country is not planning military action against Syria, despite recent speculations. "There is no truth to the suggestion that Israel is planning a military move against Syria," Netanyahu said, according to Haaretz daily. He added that the rumors on this regard were likely spread by Iran and Hizbullah as an attempt to distract the international community from the bid to impose sanctions on Iran.
"Iran is continuing its race to attain nuclear weapons," the Israeli leader said. "The international community is formulating an agreement to impose sanctions against Iran, but I don't see it happening in the coming month."
