Skip to comments.Now even swearing is illegal in Russia

(Original Title) Government body begins to collect money for 'your mother'
We sent reporters Aleksandr Meshkov and Yuriy Snegiryov to the Belgorodskaya district - where on every street, in every home, a holy lexiconologic war is being waged. They found it easy to pretend to be drunken and disorderly, and were quickly arrested by police for uncensored swearing.
Inside the 5th precinct's gloomy holding cells, with their peeling walls and rusty bars, a brigade of Ukrainian guestworkers was silently marking time. They had been arrested at the scene of the 'crime', a construction site where they were working without papers. For three hours they had been obediently waiting their savior, in the form of the foreman who would pay their fine. Our courteous satraps kicked them from the bench and began writing up our arrest protocols as evil users of swear words.
"So, you were swearing on a children's playgound?" the sergreant hopefully began the interrogation.
"Well, yeah..." we agreed.
A sigh of relief came from both policemen.
"Alright, we'll write down that you accidently used bad words. Rashly!" the sergeant prompted.
"Ah-ha! The tenth time."
And so began the unhurried paperwork for our crime. One of the policemen's pen broke, and while he left for a another, the other cop's ink ran out as well. We couldn't resist, so we offered him our 'Parkers'.
"You don't mind? Signing your sentences with your own pen?" the cop said.
"We feel that this should be considered as agreement with the sentence," we offered.
"Well, show me your hands! No bruises or abraisions?" asked the cops.
"And so we'll write that down. What happens later, that's none of our business," they said. "But you should be out of here soon."
All the guardians of order had promised, proved to be nonsense. No one came to let us out in 15 minutes, their hospitality knew no bounds, and the prospect of spending the night in these barred apartments now hung over us.
We had hidden our creditials in special pockets while in the paddy-wagon, like undergound revolutionaries during a round up. We did not dare go without them: if they started to beat us, or worse, these would be our only hope of getting out of there while keeping both our health and honor intact.
"Take everything from your pockets!" We had awaited this command in fear.
On the table lay money, cigarette lighters, mobile telephones, keys, and - oh horror - a pile of Meshkov's business cards!
It's over! went through our curse-clouded minds.
But the police officer did not even glance at the cards. He began to turn Snegiryov's special lighter over in his hands. Once again cold sweat ran down our backs. The lighter carried a sword and shield crest, and the inscription: 'Main directorate of bodyguards MVD Russia'. One could 'burn down' a whole city police department with such a lighter. But the officers proved to be unscared, and did not read the inscription. They simply smoked and praised the pretty item after enterring it into the inventory. Now the door opens, and a wobbly old man enters on a crutch.
Baby in a dumpster
"Is the baby alive?"
"The devil only knows! I came right here!"
"Wait a minute, honored grandfather," the policemen said to the old man. "We'll sign in the Muscovites, then we'll drive over to the scene of the crime with you."
An hour went by. The old man began to worry. He paced the room and swung his staff about.
"It's murder!" the old man said. "I'm already 93, and I've never seen anything like it! If I'd known, no way I'd have come here!"
"Right away, right away, will get the Muscovites signed in and we'll go with you," answered the cops with their previous imperturbability.
After the third hour of paper torture, they asked us to sign, and gave us forms to take to the bank for payment of a fine of 500 rubels, from each of us. They let Meshkov go for five minutes to go to the bank, leaving Snegiryov as a deposit. The police detachment finally departed with the old man to look for the baby in the dumpster. Meshkov flew into the bank, addressing the long line with an alarming cry: "Let me ahead of you! My friend is sits in prison! I've got to rescue him!"
"What happened? They framed him?" an old woman depositer asks.
"Yes, for swearing, but he was wronged!"
And so the line made room.
... Meanwhile, the unit that had gone with the old man had returned to the precinct. The detectives brought their love of universal cleanliness to the streets of city. The dumpsters an hour ago had already been emptied, their contents sent to the city dump. Traces of the inhuman crime were lost. Perhaps the policemen could be satified with their love of calligraphy. Obviously, at the same moment when they were writing up our arrest protocols, honest sanitation men were also carrying out their professional duty.
The old man left even more empty then before - he cursed the entire Belgorodskaya police force. One can understand him: he was also doing his civic duty, he personally reported a crime, but instead of the assumed recognition, he had to weary himself in captivity. The detective had gone home to rest, and would not return until the next morning. But without investigation of the old man's statements, no one could let him go: he must spend the night in a cell! But not a single swear word left the old man's toothless mouth, since then he would be threatened with punishment according to "our" law.
While we were joyfully climbing the stairs to the second floor, we heard screaming for the chief's office:
"They're from Moscow? We got a call from 'Komsomol'skaya Pravda'. It their reporters. Let them go!"
Our colleagues from the Belgorodskaya section had gotten worried about us and raised the alarm to get us freed. This nobel telephone call almost ruined the operation. The flame of an invisible Bickford fuse swiftly bruned towards the office of the police chief. In another second our fake story will be torn to shreds, and then the cops - infuriated by our insolent fraud - would impose on us yet another criminal case. Goodbye to freedom, which was but a step away. But, nothing happened, and Sergey waved off the duty officer:
"Yes, they already paid the fine. We'll release them!"
Fate smiled upon us. The chief did not know where we were from.
"Why were you swearing?" the major asked us.
Interrupting each other, We confusedly told the officer about the loss of a girlfriend's address after a very bad day.
"Well, look. No more swearing!" he said, then the police chief gave us a brief educational lecture, and told us to go with God! And we, jumping down the steps, almost falling, ran to freedom. The sun was leaning into dusk. Life was beautiful! Only two events dimmed our happiness: somewhere, faraway at the dump, an unidentified baby lay, while nearby, in a cell, lay a weary, innocent, nobel old man, whom we could help in no way.
"Well, how can one not swear with such a life!" grimaced an old worker by the name of Pyotr. "The pay is two thousand, and you work like an ox. Try to hit something with this sledge-hammer. See, will you cuss or not?"
We tried it. And we swore for a long time.
Unfortunately, as usual, the most nobel beginnings turn into haphazards and pokazukha (Potemkin facades). We have no gripe with the Belgorod police. They dealt with us strictly according to law without being rough or taking liberties. But something else bothers us - this struggle against swearing has turned into a campaign for collecting fines. It's good for everyone: the police are stimulated, the poplulace does not swear in public, and the bureaucrats can give victorious interviews on the TV. But, before our very eyes, from this basin of morality a baby was thrown out together with the dirty water of cursing. The stimulated policemen could not tear themselves away from the 'monetary' protocol, in order to investigate a murder. From our money they also mananged to snatch away another 300 rubels. But their 3000-rubel pay requires them to search for bodies in a dumpster. Well, how can one not want to swear?!!!
As for the beer...I suppose Russian citizens can deal with that. Now if they try locking up the VODKA, it's Revolution time ;- )
There's got to be a Dale Earnhard, Jr. angle to this story....just give me a minute....
From the beer article: Pessimists are certain: the law will be only used when a patrolman needs some quick cash for pocket money, while the nihilism of the masses with respect to laws in general will grow even stronger.
At this rate....bad hairdos and talking will be added to the fine list.... LOL!
They will be fined $10,000 and docked 25 points in the Nextel Cup standings. ;^)
"Return the inhumane government!"
June 11, 1999
JOHN FLESHER, Associated Press Writer
STANDISH, Mich.
With four-letter words ringing in their ears, jurors must decide whether a man illegally cussed a blue streak after tumbling out of his canoe or is wrongly being made into a fall guy.
The prosecution rested its case this morning in the trial of Timothy Boomer, charged with violating Michigan's century-old ban on swearing in front of children. If convicted of the misdemeanor, he could be jailed for 90 days and fined $ 100.
The defense began presenting its case later this morning after motions were argued outside the presence of the jury.
The trial began Thursday in Arenac County District Court, with three prosecution witnesses graphically repeating a string of expletives they said an enraged Boomer shouted after his Aug. 15, 1998, mishap on the Rifle River.
"He was screaming," said Kenneth Socia, the former deputy sheriff who ticketed Boomer. The tirade lasted five to seven minutes, during which Boomer yelled a particular word and its derivatives perhaps two dozen times, Socia said.
"The language was indecent, the language was vulgar, it was insulting," Assistant Prosecutor Richard Vollbach told the jury of four women and three men during his opening statement.
Defense lawyer William Street acknowledged his client may have uttered a profanity or two but said his companions on the weekend canoe trip would present a vastly different account of what happened.
"Timothy Boomer did not disrespect anyone's rights that day," Street told jurors, contending the 25-year-old computer programmer from the Detroit suburb of Roseville did not know children were nearby. "You cannot in good conscience label him a criminal."
The first defense witness called this morning was Boomer's fiancee, Courtney Kageff, 23, of Warren. She offered conflicting testimony, first saying that she didn't remember Boomer using any profanity.
"None that stick in my mind that I can remember to this day," she said.
But when pressed by the prosecution, she testified that she remembered him using some foul language, but didn't recall how many words he used.
"I don't remember what he said," Ms. Kageff testified.
When the court broke for lunch, the defense said it had five more witnesses to call. Attorneys said they hoped the jury would get the case this afternoon.
Street said Boomer was being unjustly blamed for years of misconduct by others on the river about 130 miles north of Detroit, a popular attraction for tourists from southern Michigan.
"Timothy Boomer should not be made a scapegoat for the boisterous behavior ... the rowdyism, the real crimes that some real disorderly people who do come in to use your Rifle River some days commit," Street told jurors.
Curious spectators and reporters packed the cramped basement courtroom for the trial - broadcast live by Court TV - in a case that has drawn nationwide attention as an example of the clash between free-speech rights and the struggle for a more courteous society.
Street is defending Boomer on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, which contends the 1897 anti-profanity law is unconstitutional and is promising to challenge it on appeal if Boomer is convicted.
Michael and Tammy Smith of North Branch supported Socia's version of events, saying they came up behind Boomer's canoe as it struck a rock, sending him into the water.
Instructed by the prosecutor and judge to repeat Boomer's exact words, a visibly uncomfortable Michael Smith yelled a string of expletives followed by, "I'm tired of this ... place. I want off this ... river. Get that ... canoe back here."
Boomer continued the barrage for several minutes as he trudged through the waist-deep Rifle River in pursuit of his companions, who were riding in five canoes tied together with bungee cords, Smith said.
Mrs. Smith told jurors she covered her 2-year-old daughter's ears and admonished her 5-year-old son not to listen to Boomer as her husband paddled around him and sped away.
"I think Mr. Boomer looked like he was going to hit somebody," Mrs. Smith said.
Socia, the former sheriff's deputy, testified he was among several officers patrolling the river the day in question. The patrols were at the request of businesses and property owners concerned about rowdy behavior along the river.
Socia testified that Boomer continued cursing as Socia wrote him a ticket, accusing him of ruining his vacation.
During cross-examination, Street asked Socia if there were attractive women in the canoes. When Socia answered in the affirmative, Street asked if he had ordered one of them "to stand up so you could check out her bathing suit."
Socia denied it as Vollbach angrily objected to the question.
But Street persisted, asking Socia if he had asked the women their ages and told them to rise "so you could see their bodies."
Judge Allen Yenior sharply ordered Street to drop that line of questioning, warning him at one point he was close to being cited for contempt.
Before the jury was called back into court this morning, Street asked the judge to declare a mistrial, but the judge denied it.
Street wanted to pursue the angle about the women in the canoes to demonstrate Socia's character: "Potentially the harassment of women," Street argued.
When Yenior denied that motion, Street replied, "I feel the court is biased in favor of the prosecution."
At least they had alcohol to drown their sorrows in those days....not looking good for that now....LOL!
At least they had alcohol to drown their sorrows in those days....not looking good for that now....LOL!
Do you think they really let the baby go?
I guess you're right.
I used to know a mad artist thespian sort who expressed utter horror if you asked him to please go read his book on the couch instead of taking up valuable space, lackadaisically turning pages of some art tome, at the kitchen table while everyone was tearing around with steaming pots and staple guns prepping for a party.
But the day I unexpectedly discovered a dead mouse in my St. Peter apartment and freaked out, he very calmly rose to the occasion and disposed of it for me.
I was kinda nonplussed at this wholly uncharacteristic initiative and equanimity on his part and thanked him profusely.
"My dear," he said, "a dead mouse is nothing once you've disposed of the dead infant found along the paths of your own garden ... as happened when I lived in Africa."
I guess it is all a matter of perspective.
I was driving to work this morning, listening to the radio, whena news story on it reminded me of this article. Seems a teenage boy in NC got a misdimenor and will do jail time for cursing at his teacher. Not just a fine but JAIL TIME. Guess we've got a few mots in our eye.

Hey everyone, I am back to share another heartwarming tale with you!
The Summer of Jake by Rachel Bailey

Jake asks Annalise to meet him for coffee to ask a favor of her in person. Stunned that Jake Maxwell, her teenage crush would be calling her she agrees.
Jake Maxwell is a pro surfer turned business man but he is still the same Jake Annalise has always known. He walked in with his shaggy hair, and dark eyes wearing a T-shirt and faded jeans. Annalise felt attracted to him just as much now if not more so.
Annalise was shocked to find out that the favor he wanted to ask of her was for her to help make him more sophisticated to catch the interest of Scarlett. In returned for her help he agreed to pay her a consultant's fee and agree to take on two designs in his store.
A little hesitant at first he agreed to the terms. However, Annalise soon realizes the feelings she had long ago are still there but is determined to keep them in check, help him get the girl and she gets her foot in the door for a promising career. Easy right? Nothing is ever that easy when it comes to love.
I really enjoyed this book! A fun beach read for the summer or to enjoy on a beautiful day under a big shady tree.
Best Wishes Always,
Wicked Woman

The hunt is on for a robber that started a gun battle in a St. Louis Grocery store.
Sone Maniphonh is one 63 year old you don't want to mess with.
When her business, and her husband were threatened by a gunman, she sprang into action to protect them and nearly paid with her life.
You don't stay in business for 25 years without protecting what's yours.
Photos:St. Louis area mug shots
And inside Asian World Market on Cherokee in South City, most people know better than to mess the boss behind this counter.
"She's real tough, she ain't gonna play with you," said Phillip Wade, a regular customer who's been shopping at the Asian World Market for five years.
On Jan. 4, Maniphonh had to prove it, while staring down the barrel of a gun held by this man.
"He walked in, and he wanted a 20 cent candy. I put right here, and he put gun on me. He point at me. After that he turn gun to my husband," said Maniphonh.
As Maniphonh watched her husband struggle with the robber she grabbed her own gun.
She never fired at the robber, fearful she would hit her own husband.
"I stand right here. He shoot one, two, three, four over there. I run follow him to go outside. I only try to protect myself, i don't know how to [be] scared," said Maniphonh.
Maniphonh says she's had that gun under her register for more than 20 years, but she's never had a reason to use it before.
"Sometimes I cry at home, I say, 'Why they have to do it with us. I don't make too much money'. Business is slow," said Maniphonh.
"They treat everyone great. Without them in the neighborhood, there'd be no store here," said Wade.
A matter of inches, and a flimsy piece of wood in front of the cash register saved her life. But this hardworking 63 year old says, even if she could go back, she wouldn't dream of backing down.
"I tell you the truth honey, I don't care. I have life insurance for my husband, that's OK. If i go, i go. I don't care," said Maniphonh.
Police say the suspect was wearing a green hooded sweatshirt and a multi-colored backpack. Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers at 866-371-TIPS.

Archer-Shaw Social Security Plan A Step In The Right Direction
May 28, 1999
The new Social Security reform proposal from Reps. Bill Archer (R-Texas) and Clay Shaw (R-Fla.) has a worthy goal, according to National Center for Policy Analysis President Dr. John C. Goodman: to secure future retirement benefits for today's young people without increasing taxes on workers or reducing benefits to retirees. To appreciate the plan's importance, Goodman says, consider what will happen if we do nothing.
- By 2045, the payroll tax needed to pay Social Security benefits will nearly double to 20 percent of workers' wages.
- With the cost of Medicare and other government health programs added in, taxes will take between one-third and one-half of everything workers earn.
- That's one-half off the top before today's 21-year-olds build any roads, or pay the salaries of police or teachers.
Under the Archer plan, two percent of everyone's wages would be invested every year in a private investment account of stocks and bonds. Take home pay wouldn't go down, because the investment would be funded by a reduction in income taxes. Private investment accounts -- chosen from among 50 private investment firms -- would be required to invest in conservatively diversified portfolios.
The plan guarantees retirees' benefits. If the private investment is only enough to pay 80 percent of one's retirement benefit, the government will pay the remaining 20 percent.
The plan has one significant flaw, says Goodman: when individuals reach retirement age, they must turn their account balances over to the government, which will then send out their monthly checks. We can't trust Uncle Sam with all that money. Letting private annuities handle the job makes more sense.

Leica Microsystems Launches Branding Campaign
German Healthcare Export Group e.V. (GHE e.V.)
Leica Microsystems Launches Branding Campaign
WETZLAR. "With the user, for the user". This saying of Ernst Leitz I, who introduced industrial production in his optics company in Wetzlar over a hundred years ago, is still a motto of the successor company Leica Microsystems today.
On the basis of this claim, which today more than ever is the key to the market success of Leica Microsystems' innovations, the company is launching a new branding campaign.
The new campaign is based on five values for which the company would like to be recognized; values which have evolved during the company's long tradition and yet at the same time look towards the future: Pioneering, High-end Quality, Team Spirit, Dedication to Science, and Continuous Improvement are the quintessence of the company while also indicating the company's ambitious self-obligation. They also reflect Leica Microsystems' vision of positioning itself as market leader. "These five values connect us with life," explains Dr. David Martyr, President Leica Microsystems, at the start of the campaign. "By aspiring to act in accordance with these values, we fulfill the mission of Leica Microsystems, which is to fulfill and regularly exceed the expectations and needs of our customers. We will express this self-obligation in our new slogan: 'Living up to Life'."
The redefinition of these corporate values and the new slogan 'Living up to Life' apply to the whole company and have been carefully researched and selected based on customer feedback as well as positive influences from our ownership change and recent acquisitions. To be used worldwide on all marketing material, the new slogan will replace the numerous phrases used in recent years with the intention to reinforce the communication of these newly defined brand values.

IN PRAISE OF THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. Tyler Cowen had an essay on the Bloomberg site arguing the Articles of Confederation have been greatly underrated. (The link is courtesy of Marginal Revolution, which is Cowen's own site). The argument appeals to me for two reasons. First, I am fascinated whenever I find that one of my lifelong beliefs has to be corrected. And second, because Mary Jane has finished Chernow's HAMILTON and has moved on to Joseph Ellis's THE QUARTET (about the period from the end of the Revolutionary War to the adoption of the Constitution). The Quartet are Washington, Hamilton, Madison and John Jay.
The emphasis in writing about the Articles of Confederation has understandably been on the flaws that the Constitution was intended to correct. And so what I learned from my history courses was the flaws in the Articles of Confederation. But go back to the situation after the end of the war and the difficulties in trying to construct a new form of government from scratch. Cowen says: "Keep in mind that many European thinkers of the time thought that America was hopelessly disunited and that its system of government was due to collapse."

Whenever I talk so enthusiastically about entrepreneurship, a few people really feel the need to correct me. They say that positive thinking is naïve, oversimplified and at best just a placebo. The serious pessimists love to point out that nothing so simple as positive thinking can be true. My job is not to prove them wrong, because at a gut level, I just know that positive thinking works.
Category: A Better World
No task in my life has defined me more than that of being a good father. Help change the world by empowering other fathers.
Off The Beaten Path
Over the last year I have been working on a project funded by the European Investment Bank to help young entrepreneurs in the occupied territories in Palestine. The project has been an amazing learning experience for me. Sometimes you have to move outside your comfort zone and beyond your normal pathways in order to discover new parts of the planet and new sides of yourself.
Spiderman's Vulnerability
Whether you are standing onstage in an auditorium speaking to an audience of 1000 or meeting a new client for the very first time, you will not succeed in influencing others unless you are able to connect with them first. Connection is absolutely essential to communication, especially if the message is important to you and to your audience. Connection is absolutely essential if you are going to persuade and to influence others.
A Three Minute Course in LEADERSHIP
Whether you are creating a business or creating an amazing life, you can benefit from thinking like an entrepreneur and by taking leadership.
Unfortunately, some of the most fundamental assumptions that we make about leadership may be wrong or over-glorified. A leader is just a lonely nutcase without followers. The first followers, not the leader, are the ones who take the greatest risk yet get the least praise and recognition. The first followers are the ones that teach other followers how to follow. How often do discussions about leading fail to discuss how to follow?
Why Do Dyslexics Make Great Entrepreneurs?
An abnormally high percentage of entrepreneurs are dyslexics. Does the struggle that is required to overcome dyslexi prepare dyslexics to become great entrepreneurs? And if so, what are these traits?
Kill the Cow
Sometimes entrepreneurs have to kill their holy cow in order to succeed.
If there is no struggle, then there is no progress
How important is diversity to an entrepreneur. Frederick Douglass, escaped slave and writer said that without struggle, there is no gain. What can this teach entrepreneurs?
Can Entrepreneurship Empower Palestinians?
Last week I was asked to join a group of coaches and investors to design and lead a program for Palestinian entrepreneurs from the West Bank. True entrepreneurship and true empowerment is believing that no matter what situation arises or whatever circumstances occur, that you will be able to find a way to turn it around, to create your own business, to survive and to thrive.
Fake It or Be Yourself?
Be yourself. Sometimes we are so intent on pleasing the people we meet that we forget to be who we are. Good networking skills involve being very specific, clear and intentional in how you present yourself or your business, but mostly it involves being yourself.
Connecting the Dots
As an Entrepreneur you must make many tough decisions and assumptions about your future. The problem is that you can only connect the dots looking backward, not looking forward. Steve Jobs gives valuable advice.

A day care operator accused of leaving the children she was watching alone when a fire broke out at the facility, killing four kids, faced a growing list of charges Wednesday as authorities continued to answer questions about why the woman wasn't detained before she fled to Nigeria.
Prosecutors have now filed a total of 10 charges against Jessica Tata, Donna Hawkins, a spokeswoman with the Harris County District Attorney's Office, said Wednesday.
Joining the reckless injury to a child charge that had been filed earlier in the week are six more counts of the same charge, as well as three counts of abandoning a child. All the new charges were filed late Tuesday.
The reckless injury to a child charges each carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. The abandoning a child charges have a sentence of up to 10 years.
The Feb. 24 blaze at the day care facility, run out of a west Houston home, also injured three other children.
Attempts by The Associated Press to contact Tata's family in person and by phone at multiple addresses and telephone listings have been unsuccessful.
Houston Fire Department investigators accuse Tata of leaving all seven children who were in the home at the time of the fire without adult supervision. Investigators said surveillance video shows she was shopping at a nearby Target store when the fire started.
Investigators believe the fire was started by a stove top burner that had been left on. Tata told investigators the fire started in the kitchen while she was in the bathroom.
Earlier this week, arson investigators and Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos exchanged barbs in media reports over whether one of the agencies might have dropped the ball in not charging Tata before she became a fugitive. The first charge against Tata was filed Sunday, a day after authorities say she fled to Nigeria.
But on Wednesday, Fire Department Chief Terry Garrison tried to downplay any perceptions the two agencies were fighting.
Garrison said that in retrospect, he might have had investigators follow Tata to keep tabs on her.
"Somewhere along the way we may have made a mistake. We are not going to blame anybody," he said.
Garrison said investigators had trusted Tata's attorney, Mike Monks, who had indicated the day care operator was going to speak with authorities. Tata didn't give a statement before fleeing.
But Monks said he was never retained as Tata's attorney and thus never made any promises to authorities that they could speak to her.
Garrison, along with the U.S. Marshals Service in Houston, said a "red notice" has been sent out by the international police agency Interpol on Tata that tells police agencies around the world to be on the lookout for her. A spokeswoman for Interpol in Washington, D.C. did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Even if authorities determine that Tata is in Nigeria, it won't be easy to get her back to the United States, said Douglas McNabb, a Houston attorney who specializes in international extradition law.
While Nigeria and the United States have an extradition treaty dating back to 1935, the crimes Tata is charged with might not be covered, he said.
"If (Tata's) family engages an experienced extradition attorney, they could really tie this sucker up for a very long time. It could drag on for years," McNabb said.
Two of the injured children, a 22-month-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, remained hospitalized in good condition at Shiners Hospital for Children in Galveston, hospital spokeswoman Jo Ann Zuniga said Wednesday.

Consolidate Student Loans Before Rules Are Revamped
The math may be changing on student loans.

The changes, wending their way through Congress, could be good news for future students. For years, there was only one choice for graduates looking to consolidate all of their student...

Okay, I'm looking for some Tex-Mex suggestion in NYC. I've lived here for almost 6 years now and I'm constantly looking for a good bowl of queso and a decent enchilada or taco. So far, my best bet is Lobo out in Brooklyn but I'm a little tired of the train.
Can anyone provide some Tex-Mex suggestions in Manhattan? When I say anyone, I really mean only those who are experienced in the realm of Tex-Mex (not to offend those who aren't). I'm looking for a suggestion from someone from Texas or maybe New Mexico…I'd even take an Okie's recommendation at this point.
I'm looking for a place that serves Mexican food the way it should be - as a combination platter with rice and beans for under $15.00.

"Did I listen to the same book?"
While my first SEP book experience was positive, I expected a light, fun listen after reading the previous reviewers comments and the book synopsis. True, there were some funny scenes, and some sexy ones as well; however, I found the book mainly dealt with the way Phoebe handled an unresolved trauma in her teen years, changing her life and, to some extent, her personality, in order to deal with it. I am undecided if I will be getting the rest of the series.
"Great Book!"
Narration was great! I enjoyed listening to this book, the story was very good and engaging.
"Really cute"
I have recommended this book. I love sports and romance so this series is perfect. I've listened to all of the Chicago Stars series and enjoyed all of the books.
"Ho Hum"
No. Fortunately, I listened while I did other tasks so I didn't waste my time. If I had picked it up to read (as opposed to listening), I would have put it down within the first dozen pages. I just hate to waste good credits spent.
I am listening to "Gone Girl," another well-rated book that I am not enjoying as much as I had hoped.
Not really.
I am always surprised when I choose a book based on the reviews and I am so disappointed. Unfortunately, I had previously downloaded a later book in this series and now I need to decide if it is worth my time to listen to it or just "forfeit" the credit I spent on it.
"Dan and Phoebe are great"
This is one of my favorite romances, and it sets the foundation for the whole Star series. Try to read the books in order because it really enhances the enjoyment for the series.
Dan and Phoebe's love story is so good that I find myself rereading this whole series. It is such luscious escape. The best part is each book is just as good as the previous one. S.E.P.'s writing is funny, heart warming with great characterization. If you like romances, this one is an all time winner. And the voice of
Anna Fields that was so much associated with S. E. P 's books so sadly has been quieted. Truly a great talent was lost when Ms. Fields tragically died.
"Can't Go Wrong Here!"
I am a big fan of Susan Elizabeth Phillps. Found the first book just by chance and have loved four more since - this being #5. Funny, romantic and this one has a bit of of mystery to it too. I love that her books has real people and not all are rich, powerful and beautiful. Even those that are aren't perfect. If you like SEP books, especially those surrounding the "Chicago Stars", this is a real winner.
"So disappointed"
This could have been a lot better if it hadn't been so smutty - I read MMIYC and Natural Born Charmer and some other SEP books, which I remember liking - I then bought Fancy Pants and It Had To Be You, and was sorely disappointed. To read these seemed to me a definite and unexpected step into bodice ripper territory.
I was equally disappointed by the lack of wit I remember from other books by SEP. The story also seemed to be brewed on largely the same ingredients as at least two of her other books.
The narrator does a good job, as in the other books, but she will forever sound like someone a bit older than the main characters. I am not put off by it though.
"One of my favorites"
This is one of my favorite books, and I enjoy listening to it as much I as I enjoying reading the book.
"Best of the best"
After every SEP book, I always think "this was the best one ever". As far as I know, she has never written a so-so book -- they are all the terrific. Just thinking about some of the scenes she creates makes me laugh out loud.
I am not an avid reader. But, since finding books on CD, I can't get enough!! Susan Elizabeth Phillips is amazing. This is the second of her books I have "read" and I can't get enough. "It Had to be You" is a wonderful love story. I can't wait to download the next!!

So I had the med tweak and it seems to really be helping. I've noticed the last several days I've actually been happy. It's a good change. I don't feel like I'm just here anymore. I hope it lasts. Anxiety has been up a little, but that I can deal with. Nothing big. Just not wanting to talk on the phone to a stranger, made the hubby do it. I just couldn't. It was too much. I'm working on it.

Sometimes I like to throw caution to the wind and not worry about whether or not my daughter will end up spoiled rotten (or with a mouthful of cavities) if I indulge her small-child food-urges. How long does childhood last? Seems shorter and shorter all the time, no?
Chocolate ice cream with chocolate-dipped sprinkle cones for lunch? Why not? I love this girl.
Wheeler Del Torro's Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream from The Vegan Scoop
special equipment: an ice cream maker.
1 cup soy milk, divided
2 Tbs arrowroot powder
2 cups soy creamer
3/4 cup sugar (I use a little less)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup (4 oz.) dark chocolate, chopped (I always use the Sirius brand because its 56 % dark is the best thing out there!)
1 Tbs vanilla
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy milk with the arrowroot powder and set aside.
Mix the soy creamer, remaining 3/4 cup soy milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and chopped chocolate in a saucepan and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted, then bring to a boil. As soon as mixture has just begun to boil, remove it from the heat and stir in the arrowroot mixture, this should cause the liquid to thicken noticeably.
Add vanilla
Refrigerate until mixture is very very cold ~2-3 hours. Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
Chocolate-dipped ice cream cones with sprinkles
I did this the 'lazy way'. Although Del Torro does actually have a recipe for homemade cones in his book, I bought these pre-made ones at my local market.
Get yourself a box of cones (I used the store brand) and unwrap them. Set out a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Set cones out on the paper.
Melt 3-4 ounces of dark chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl over a boiling pot of water until HALF melted (important: if you melt it all the way, it may not harden for you on the cone). Stir to melt the remaining. Dip the rims of the cones in the chocolate than dip them in a bowl filled with sprinkles or other small edible decorations of your choosing. Lay cones gently on the paper to firm up. Once cool and firm, store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

- The Little Angels perform at the United Nations (December 27, 1973)
- A letter from God is received from the spirit world (December 28, 2001)

- The Holy Ground providence begins (December 31, 1964)
- The News World begins publication (December 31, 1976)
December 26, 1981
The First God Conference
The first God Conference, entitled "God: The Contemporary Discussion," was held from December 22 to 31, 1981 on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Dr. Frederick Sontag, distinguished professor of philosophy at the University of Pomona and author of Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church (Abingdon, 1977), suggested the conference as an "internal" equivalent of the annual International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences (ICUS). The conference attracted 170 participants from 33 countries and all major religious traditions. Seventy-five papers were presented, 22 of which were selected for inclusion in a resulting book, God: The Contemporary Discussion (1982).
The Youth Seminar on World Religions (YSWR) emerged out of the first God Conference. From 1982 to 1984 it sponsored annual seven-week around-the-world pilgrimages to sites associated with the religious traditions of Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Unificationism for 150 students and professors. This expanded the movement's ecumenical and inter-religious network and involved religious scholars of the highest rank, including Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions and one of the country's foremost authorities on world faiths, who with his wife co-chaired the first two Youth Seminars and served as chair of the fourth God Conference.
December 27, 1973
Little Angels Benefit Performance at the United Nations
True Father conceived the idea of forming a Korean children's dance troupe "as a means of promoting world peace and sharing the Korean culture throughout the world." He asked Dr. Bo Hi Pak to take responsibility for assembling the group. Dr. Pak agreed, and he traveled back and forth between the United States and Korea in developing the "Little Angels" from 1962 to 1964. The Little Angels' inaugural tour of the United States in 1965 was difficult, and in many cases "the performers outnumbered the audience." However, their tours were increasingly successful, and by 1971 they had performed on national television, at the 1968 Summer Olympic Games at Mexico City, and before numerous heads of state including U.S. President Richard Nixon and President Park Chung-hee of the Republic of Korea, as well as at a Royal Command Performance before Queen Elizabeth II, who broke with protocol by receiving the performers and greeting each of them, escorted by Dr. Pak. On December 27, 1973, the United Nations opened its General Assembly Hall for the first time for a cultural performance, a gala benefit for UNICEF by the Little Angels. TheNew York Times reviewer wrote, "Judging from the standing ovation the children received, their performance of sometimes exotic national dance to music played on replicas of ancient Korean instruments has a universal appeal." True Parents also received a standing ovation when they were introduced as The Little Angels' founders.
December 28, 2001
Letter from God
True Father understood Cheon Il Guk to be the nation of cosmic peace and unity. As such, it encompassed not only the visible world but the totality of creation, both physical and spiritual. As he expressed it, "The world has entered an age in which the spirit world and physical world can become one and communicate freely with each other." Communication with the spirit world was nothing new to the Unification movement. In fact, since 1935 when he encountered and experienced a divine call from Jesus, True Father had carried on a ministry to spirit world in parallel with his ministry on earth. For most of that time this was not a matter of public knowledge. With the proclamation of Cheon Il Guk this changed. True Father insisted that messages from the spirit world be disseminated as widely as possible.
The most prominent of these was "The Cloud of Witnesses," a collection of messages which derived from "seminars" in the spirit world, initially for four religious founders (Jesus, Buddha, Confucius and Muhammad) and subsequently for leaders in their traditions as well as for famous communists. The "Cloud of Witnesses" messages culminated in a "Letter from God," addressed to "My beloved True Parent" and dated December 28, 2001. If True Father's lifelong goal was "to melt the block of ice frozen in the heart of God," the letter indicated that he had succeeded.
God, who self-identified as "Jehovah, the God of all humankind," stated: "My gratitude and appreciation for you is beyond words. The word 'love' is inadequate to express My feelings. … I want to embrace you in My bosom and never let you go! I would carry you on My back and never let your feet touch the ground! I would hold you, and we would talk together all night long." Apart from this, God validated True Father's position, stating, "You have been victorious on every level and have restored to its proper position everything that had fallen. … Hence, Jehovah, the God of all humankind, hereby bestows upon His beloved True Parent the title King of all kings." The Unification Church subsequently published "The Cloud of Witnesses" and "Letter from God" in space purchased from leading newspapers in all fifty states.
December 29, 2005
International Cross-Cultural (Gyocha) Marriage Blessing Ceremony
True Parents conducted a Gyocha, "cross-cultural" Marriage Blessing between all cultures, races and religions on December 29, 2005. True Father also opened the gate for all who were blessed but lost their spouse due to divorce to be re-blessed. Grace was opened for all. True Father matched second-generation Unificationist couples and first-generation Unificationist couples and gave the responsibility to all continental directors of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) to heal the families through matching of previously blessed couples with one another and allowing them to be blessed. The Gyocha Blessing of 1,147 Couples was conducted at Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center.
December 31, 1964
Holy Ground Providence Begins
True Father pursued the Holy Ground providence between December 31, 1964, and January 4, 1966. He said that the establishment of the Holy Grounds had to involve three different years and that the re-creation of the substance of the word and the beginning of the standard of heart could be achieved centering on them. Another purpose was to connect Korea to the world through the exchange of earth and stones. True Father took earth and stones from seven Holy Grounds in Korea on December 31, 1964, and January 1, 1965, and prepared to travel overseas. He proceeded to establish 120 Holy Grounds in 40 nations, including 55 in the United States.

Creation of a media network was not originally part of True Father's thinking or planning for the American mission. However, the print and electronic media increasingly vilified his work. This created a climate of extreme hostility and frustrated the Unification Church's witnessing efforts. True Father, in turn, recognized the "awesome power" of the media "to create or to destroy."
Therefore, in October 1976, he assembled a dozen or so Unificationists with journalism degrees and "set the deadline" for producing the first issue of a new daily newspaper in New York City on December 31, the last day of the United States' bicentennial year. The vision of ushering in the United States' third century "with a new era of modern journalism" was compelling. Nevertheless, according to one account, "It seemed impossible to start a daily newspaper literally from scratch, using inexperienced people, in dilapidated offices, in less than three months." Still, "second-hand desks and typewriters were purchased," and in November "the few who had journalism degrees … gave the first staff of about sixty a crash course in journalism." On December 31, the presses rolled early in the morning and the first issue of The News World hit the streets of New York.
Replete with a color photograph featured each morning on the front page and a motto that described it as "New York's oldest daily color newspaper," The News World was a twenty-four-page general-interest daily with a staff of 200, the bulk of whom were Unificationists. It was eventually housed in the former Tiffany Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, which Unificationists purchased. The News World was the only paper to publish during the New York City power blackout of 1977 and during a later three-month newspaper strike, when its circulation soared to 400,000 daily. The paper's boldest move was to predict a "[Ronald] Reagan Landslide" in a banner headline on Election Day, November 4, 1980, followed by an equally large banner headline the following day which read, "Thank God! We Were Right!" The News World gave birth to several other New York papers, including Noticias Del Mundo, a Korean-language daily, a Harlem weekly, and a press service, Free Press International. It later changed its name to New York City Tribune and eventually gave way to the media network's flagship newspaper, The Washington Times.
This Week in History briefly lists significant events in the history of the Unification Church, the lives of the Founders, and world events that are momentous to Unificationists. Most items are marked according to the solar calendar. Items marked "H.C." correspond to the Cheon-gi or Heavenly Calendar, which is based on the lunar calendar. This installment covers the week of December 25–31.

The key to a good vacation is just the right blend of spontaneity and planning –not too much that it spoils the fun, and not too little that everything falls apart in a hot mess. With the weather holding clear, the weekends are perfect for a sunny outing. Where better than a trip to the beach? But properly planning a beach trip includes doing your research, especially if kids are involved.
Check the Weather
Always important no matter where you are going, remember to check the weather report. Luckily, these days we don't need to wait for the weatherman to appear on T.V. to tell us if Bondi beach is getting rain. A quick search on Google will tell you the weather forecast for the weekend you have chosen for your outing, so make sure that it's sunny and bright.
Beach Amenities
If you are a parent, then a weekend getaway at the beach can turn into a nightmare trying to gather everything your kids will need. Fortunately, most things are available en route or on location, so if you forget something, don't worry overmuch. However, it is essential that you check that the beach you are heading to have a weekend doctor or some medical personnel available in case of emergencies. Once again, the internet will give you all the information you need. Also check that there is more than one Mermaid Beach doctor on duty during your vacation – it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Convenient Accommodation
If your plan is to relax on the beach, try to find a place to stay that is not too far from the surf and sand. You don't want to end up on the doctor in Broadbeach after hours, trudging miles inland to get to a warm bed. Book a hotel/ apartment/ holiday rental somewhere close to your chosen spot to weekend. Online sites such as Trip advisor and Lonely Planet offer hundreds of choice properties that will cater to your unique taste while your local travel agent will also have good recommendations.
A Bottle of Fun
The rest of the details are just that – details. Sun screen lotion, bathing suits, hats, sunglasses, bug spray (if you need it) and food all fall into the category of "buy as needed." This will leave you with enough spontaneity to make the trip exciting while you can relax at the same time knowing that the most important details like accommodation and emergency care are taken care of. Most importantly, pack a bag full of joy and a bottle of fun to spray on yourself on the way. Hello, weekend!

Jean Waddell wore an orchid lei and a white rose corsage as she worked her final shift at the Redmond McDonald's yesterday morning. The flowers were gifts to the Bothell resident who officially retired again.
The 84-year-old woman hopes to do better at the leisurely life this go-round. She first retired about 18 years ago, when she stopped working at a Kirkland nursing home.
"I was retired for a year and wanted something to do," Waddell said. "Working keeps the brain moving. I came after a friend got a job here. Then the government was paying for senior citizens' training, and it sounded like fun."
The fun has lasted through 17 years of early-morning shifts, usually beginning around 5 or 6 a.m.

"That's when I'm the best, early in the morning," she said. "I'm stopping now because I don't want to commute during the winter."
Yesterday's workday was far from typical. Fellow employees chased her out from behind the counter, and shift manager Jan Parker carried a camera, snapping photographs of Waddell with regular customers who lined up to say goodbye.
One was Niels Thomson of Redmond. He teased Waddell about borrowing money with lots of zeros on it now that she was rich enough to retire. He said he's going to miss Waddell. "Jean always knows what I want and has my order ready," Thomson said.
Customer Rollin Bacon of Redmond, who routinely eats breakfast at the restaurant, said Waddell is always cheerful. Customer Mike Doyle said he admires Waddell's work ethnic.
"Her car broke down once, and she got up early to catch a bus so that she wouldn't be late for work," he said.
Waddell hasn't made any big plans for her second retirement. A great-grandmother, she enjoys watching television. She has already booked each Monday at noon.
That's when Parker, the manager, and several other retired McDonald's employees meet for lunch.
A gift of sight
Sarah Catteral of Redmond wanted no princes and no gifts at her princess-themed 5-year-old birthday party last night.
Instead she did something rather princely. The Redmond girl told her parents that instead of birthday presents she wanted to give someone who was blind the gift of sight. Catteral's parents, Colleen and Andy, contacted the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight & Hearing.
They learned about 13-year-old Adrian Gonzalez-Perez of West Seattle, who needs a cornea transplant in his left eye. The immigrant's family has no money to pay for the operation. Although an eye surgeon had agreed to donate his time, the foundation still needed $1,975 to cover expenses associated with the transplant.
Sarah's party may raise the necessary money. Two local pizza companies donated food; Costco gave the family a discount on the cake.
"Anything in the party budget that we don't spend will go into the fund for Adrian," Colleen said.
Just for kicks
It's tradition in the theater world to wish someone luck by saying, "Break a leg." So the gift to Martin Charnin was most appropriate. Charnin is the writer and director of "Robin Hood: The Legend Continues," a musical that made its world debut Thursday at the Issaquah Village Theatre.
Early Thursday he received a big package from Freddie Gershon and the folks at Music Theatre International, the company that manages the rights to musicals such as "Annie" and "Damn Yankees."
The card read, "Break a leg, or in this case, eat it. Congratulations."
Inside was a life-size solid chocolate leg.

Do you celebrate elaborately with champagne and fireworks? Or just have a dinner, etc.?
sort by best latest
New years eve is our wedding anniversary. We used to celebrate with a lot of fanfare and champagne. In more recent years we enjoy a steak on the grill and a quiet night together. We don't like to get out on the roads with all the partiers and drinkers.

New Years around here is a big deal, but we tend to change it up each year. We have 3 children, so we always make sure there's something for them to take part in whether it's watching fireworks or buying our own.
Tonight we decided to stay at home and invite our friends and family over. We live in the country so we decided to bundle up and start a bonfire in the fire pit. The kids got to drink hot chocolate and roast marshmallows. The adults got to sip their beverage of choice. Once everyone was chilled beyond being able to stand it, we took the party indoors so we could all play on the X-Box Kinect. It was a great time.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
