Clearly, when faced with a dietary restriction, I go straight for the sweet treat and figure out how to make it. This is probably not the healthiest approach, but it is what I do.
My friend, The Diva, is currently fighting breast cancer (and doing a great job I might add). She's on a Mediterranean diet, which is a low-fat diet focused on fresh foods. She is also avoiding foods with estrogen links, like soy. I got to see her last week, and wanted to make a treat. The first thing I thought of was ice cream to help with the various sore throats she's been experiencing. I had been dairy-free for 18 months so I wanted to immediately direct her to my favorite dairy-free frozen treats, which include some great fruit sorbet recipes from How to Eat Supper, which are easy to make even without an ice cream maker. Another easy to make sorbet come from Food Network and Giada At Home. It is a Pomegranate and Mint Sorbet, and is so good- especially with the chocolate chips, and you can make the simple syrup with agave instead of sugar to lower the glycemic index. Both those icy treats are great because they are low-fat, and you can control the sugar content, so it is easy to make a yummy treat with lower sugar. Finally, in my dairy-free days I loved better balanced coconut based ice creams, that are both low in sugars because they use stevia as a sweetener. Other than the fat from the coconut, these seemed like a great fit for my friend. Check out The Ice Dream Cookbook and there is a Better Balance Ice Cream cookbook out there that I'm having trouble finding on-line. When I find it I'll update this post. Finally, for those of you who can have soy, Tofu Cookery has a great selection of tofu-based ice creams. When I was dairy-free, these were some of my favorites.
When I realized that the ice creams might be problematic from both the sugar or fat content, and honestly, it wouldn't travel very well, I started thinking about cookies. Which led me to Quinoa, Cherry, Applesauce Cookies. I took the oatmeal cookie recipes I have in various spots around my house and developed this. It comes out a bit more like a scone than a cookie because of the lower sugar content, and I baked it at a lower temperature to make it chewy. But, it fit the bill!
Quinoa, Cherry, Applesauce Cookies.
I beat together:
- 3/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup combination of dairy-free palm shortening and coconut oil. If you don't need to be dairy free, I'd do butter here. Let's face it, gluten-free cooking needs at least a little fat.
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of honey. Those 2 tablespoons could be molasses too. I did not reduce the liquid in this recipe even though I substituted the honey for sugar. The recipe came out too dry when I cut back on the liquids. Also, in my first test batch I scaled back on the honey, and it just wasn't enough sweet to overcome the bitter taste of quinoa.
- 1 TBSP flax steeped in 3 TBSP water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
In a separate bowl, I mixed together:
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of xanthum gum
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa flakes (If you find the bitterness of quinoa bothers you, cut this back to 1 cup and use 3 cups of bean flour blend)
- 2 1/2 cups bean four flour blend
- 1 cup dried cherries (any dried fruit would work here)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
I mixed the two sets of ingredients together and then I let it sit and hydrate for at least a 1/2 hour. I sometimes will let a cookie dough sit overnight even.
After spooning the dough out onto cookie sheets, I put the sheets in a 325 oven, and 20 minutes later I had nice, chewy cookies. Perfect for little hands and good friends.
What I like about this experiment is that it does reduce the fat. The original recipes called for about 1 cup of fat; either butter, oil, or a combination of the two. And as you learn when cooking gluten-free, to make up for the lack of gluten, most recipes have you use a ton of butter or eggs. We found that the Geographer's weight first declined a bit when we switched to gluten-free and then started going up as our foods suddenly contained a lot more fat. Perhaps tricks like the applesauce will help in the future!
Finally, why did I make a gluten-free cookie for my friend who isn't gluten-free? First, I don't keep wheat flour in the house anymore. Second, according to Dr Peter Green in Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic, gluten-free diets might help cancer patients. They certainly don't hurt.
Speedy healing Diva!

Sen. Virgil Smith to stand trial for beating, shooting at ex-wife
Smith was bound over for trial by 36th District Court on Thursday for shooting at ex-wife Anistia Thomas after an altercation where she found another woman naked in his bed.
He is charged with malicious destruction of property, felonious assault, felony firearm and a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence.
His next court date on the arraignment of information is scheduled for 9 a.m. July 9.
"I see him holding a big gun he turned it at me and started shooting at me," said Thomas.
Now the judge has ordered Smith to stand trial on those charges.
Thomas testified that she went to Smith's house to find love and found another woman instead - it was the beginning of a night that ended in a hail of bullets.
"I woke up and heard what something that sounded like somebody running," said Smith's neighbor. "I heard shots. Boom, boom, boom. I hit the floor."
Thomas told in court the details of the day which started with her and Smith texting each other.
"I snatched the sheet off of her," Thomas said.
"And what did you see?
"That she was naked," she said. "At that point, Kai grabs me. He pulls on me, we wrestle. He punches me in my face a few times.
"After falling into the TV, he rams my head into the floor after that he puts the back of his right arm into the back of my neck. It basically stops my breathing.
"He says he'll let me up if I leave. He literally rams my head into the wall in the hallway. He takes my arm again and continues to beat me down the hallway. He opens the screen door and pushes me again."
Thomas says smith showed her a rifle and fired a shot into the air, but he wasn't done.
"He turns it toward me and starts shooting at me," Thomas said. "I run to the backyard to hide."
Attorney: "Why do you hide?"
"Because I can hear his footsteps," she said.
A neighbor testified that Thomas sought refuge in his home.
"She had a smudge on the side of her lips and she was showing us her hand," the neighbor said.
Attorney: "What kind of smudge?
"It could have been blood," the man said.
The witness then saw Smith, who he says told him: "I put so many bullets in her car it won't start."
But Smith's girlfriend testified that she feared Thomas would have hurt her if Smith had not restrained his ex-wife.
"He was trying to hold her back," she said. "She was trying to get to me. She was yelling things as well like 'He doesn't care about you, he doesn't love you.'
"I remember she was yelling and he was saying calmly, 'I did not say that.'"
She also confirmed that Smith came back for his gun after removing Thomas from the bedroom.
Smith's attorney argued that he was defending his home and feared for his life.
But Judge Michael Wagner said that "I've never seen a parked car be a danger to anyone."
The Senate is on recess, but if the case's trial could complicate his time in Lansing.

Black pride was born from oppression, persecution, genocide, slaughter, and persistent pain. It was not born out of narcissism, nor for the purpose of declaring superiority. Black Pride is a celebration of life, as though to say "We're here. We're alive. We're resisting." It is a way of honoring the past and challenging the future.

Hahahaha ... let's just say this ... MONEY TALKS ... oh, and sex sells ...
With all the A goods (or copycats) flooding the market, the genuine stuff cannot be sold too well, and that affect Chinese goods to be sold overseas ...
well do you think american products have a higher quality? I certainly do think so.
Hahahaha ... I am sorry that I am not familar with American products ... the "American" products that I am in touch with are the Dell and the (genuine) Microsoft OEM CD that comes with the Dell, both were made in China anyway ... I dont have any Apple product, my mobile is K-Touch (a Chinese brand) ...
Oh, yeah, some of my Polo's are made in America, and they are better quality than the ones from Silk Street :)
It is time for China to address the copyright laws strongly and bring more prosperity and quality to life for everyone. IP is really important . many don't want to distribute here because of it.
i worked at SIPO for 2 years. you got it right mostly. they don't know how to impliment it on such a big scale. its a big challenge.
there is one thinking that copying is ok if used without sales. but when someone takes a product and applies for a patent by copying it in another country that doesn't work with the IP5 or WIPO then there must be something to be done about this.
first of all the market is so damn big here. it would be better for the face of China to change this . Considering that they are now a global leader :)
jia you Zhongguo!
ok but that took place in1883. i don't think there were as many applications for a patent at that time.
you don't find people selling copies of shoes on the streets of New York or Berlin or in Japan.
China's IP company, has over 10,000 employees now. Most of which I have spoken to are worried that once China does enforce more laws there will be a lot of jobs lost. one of their leaders is my drinking buddy and he says that the staff are not busy with their work and have tons of free time.
Maybe thats all government jobs here and abroad.
I do know that someday IP will be a very hot item in China
Jia you
My friend works for an IP firm. They regularly shut down factories and close off channels that illegally produce copyrighted goods. Certain western companies pay them large amounts of money to constantly scour the cities of china (mostly large ones) to see where these items are being sold, then they find the factories, and begin the legal process to bring charges against these places.
The problem is the level of corruption in the Chinese government, and also jobs. If you are the leader of ZheJiang provence, you don't really give 2 shits about the foreign companies who are complaining about their products being made illegally. What you do care about is jobs for the people so that they can stay dumb and well fed and not start revolutions or turn to a life of crime in order to feed their family.
You say what corruption? Example: My friend shut down a factor, confiscated their property and turned it into the government. A few months later they found out the government took this illegal merchandise, and sold it back to the factory, and the factory was reopened. The problem is these factory owners are in bed with government officials.
The show "boardwalk empire" shows the corrupt prohibition-led government in the united states during the 1920's, and the similarities with the modern chinese-government are truly amusing.
So i have gathered two points:
1) the goods were produced in China AND
2) The guy was caught when trying to bribe the customs officials.
If this was used to argue the fact that these counterfeit goods are penetrating the US market anywhere near like they are in China, please do not waste your time.
Some IP isn't worth government protection and I for one am pretty fucking glad that the Chinese legal system simply doesn't have the time or the energy to deal with this shit. In the USA, the producers of copyrighted materials seldom receive many benefits from IP protections compared to lawyers and the companies for whom they work.
Computer software, entertainment, and especially pharmaceuticals tend to be over-protected.
Jobs would be lost for people in SIPO when china joins IP5. They have so many people now because of all the redudant work they have to do. so when they join ip5 and get a central database set up there will be no need for extra people to do the extra work.
I like what he said about having people go out and find the companies who are making the illegal copies of products. it shoes that there is some action.
And I totally disagree with Dando. All copyright and IP should be protected. Anything that doesn't belong to you is not for you to use to make money on. it just shows poor thinking and less concern for your fellow man.
music, or an invention, a utility or design, trademark, copyright etc.
all of it, needs to be changed here. until it does, China will lose face on the international market.
I already spoke to about 15 companies in the USA who said they wont distribute here because of this.
I think it just shows the general lack of concern for others and the greed of some people. Making copies of something isn't wrong, but when you sell it for your own profit, well that just sucks because its not right to do it.
I would not go out and copy pop shit songs from China and try to sell it somewhere. but many people will try.
i think that although China is becoming a big player in todays global society, they need a lot of work. and thats ok.
But even OBAMA said himself directly to Hu Jin Tao while on national tv, the IP laws must change in China.
Now, who in China wants to try to copy BOEING? ha
someday, someone here will be in a lot of trouble.
as the case in switzerland a few years ago. A judge made an example of a man downloading a song and distributing it. He was sentenced to 2 years.
harsh? yes but a good step in the right directionee honestly, the quality sucks and i dont like to give theives my money.
so, in the end, China will abide by these lawas and begin more enforement..
Dont support copiers. They are thieves.
Maybe you would understand if you played music and someone stole the song that you poured your heart and soul into. And also had spent 10,000's of rmb to produce and all they do is say "its mine now i can what i want".
well that's not the case for me. SOmeone did this in china to me and my attorney was on his as for a year. in the end, the guy paid me xxx rmb and had to pay for 1 year legal fees.
I'm just going to start calling you by your Christian name if you're going to post in your own thread with two accounts. This isn't trolling at all. It's astroturfing. What the fuck was wrong with Astaroth?
The only musicians who are tangibly affected by copying are those who are selling millions of records. Stop kidding yourself; as an independent artist, you should be happy that someone is copying your work and distributing it to a wider audience, as it means you might have more people going to your shows.
When Metallica went against Napster, it pissed off a lot of their hardcore fans who realized, correctly, that bootlegging concerts was what made those petty cunts famous in the first place, and that they made the bulk of their money on merchandise.
Album sales just go to the record companies. Do the math. If you're signed to a major label, you're lucky if you're making a fraction of a dollar from each record. If you sued someone for downloading music or copying a CD and giving it to their friends, that's a dick move. Filesharers are your friends.
On the other hand, if someone copies your music and uses it for a car commercial, that's a totally different story, because they're making money from your work.
Outside of entertainment, there are some areas where IP protections simply aren't helpful in a broad sense. I mentioned pharmaceuticals before; I really shouldn't have to go much further than mentioning that a wide variety of common medicines could be made more readily available to the third world if it weren't for the intervention of pharmaceutical companies hell-bent on protecting their patents. Excessive litigation of IP in this area is especially vile, because it drives up the costs of medicines. Moreover, many new drugs are made only because governments subsidize their research!
If tax dollars are being paid to help researchers discover new drugs, those drugs should be considered part of the public domain and not subject to patent protections.
Inventors are no longer solitary individuals who come up with brilliant ideas in their basement workshops. Remember that conversation we had about Edison? He was a fucking dick who ripped off his own employees and abused patent laws to make his fortune off the backs of others. Scientific advancement comes from large groups of researchers working together.
If they're chemical engineers working for a giant corporation like Dow Chemical, they won't even get the patent! They'll get a congratulatory medal from Dow and maybe a promotion. But that's not guaranteed by law. Dow will hold that patent, probably forever. In this case, how does patent protection encourage innovation?
If companies don't want to invest in Chinese markets because they're afraid their brands will be copied, then that's too bad. Cue the maudlin erhu music. I don't give even the slightest slippery shit. Most of these companies are already making huge profits by exploiting the Chinese labor force and producing their goods at far lower costs than if they had union factories in their home countries. Having their brands ripped off is the price they ought to pay.
From a consumer perspective, the only thing that branding is really supposed to accomplish is to guarantee a certain level of quality. Chinese consumers aren't stupid. They know that their "Guqi" and "Dolce & Gabbina" bargain swag is probably single-stitched and will disintegrate before they get a new one next Spring Festival.
And you'll never understand how important P2P filesharing has been in supporting the indie rock scene, because you're too fucking old.
I still know how to sight-read music, chief. You really think record company lawyers are passionate about your craft? Bullshit.
Sharing? Don't you mean...
wait for it...
wait for it...
That's exactly my point. The recording industry threw a big fucking fit about cassette tapes, and the MPAA complained about beta and VHS.
its not what happened.
Mike, I actually hope none of your music gets shared online now. Essentially because you'll then see none of the benefits.
p.s. In before "you don't understand". Yes I do, I've been in tons of bands, and everything I've completed is available form one place or another for free because I made it free myself.
Pardon the fuck out of the goddamn Internet for not immediately apprehending the specific reasons for why you decided to sue some schmuck for ripping off your tunes, bro.
Please. Enlighten us.
its not important to you guys. as ive said. someone made money from my works.
thats bad.
end of story
and just to let it be well known. im tired of wasting time here on this lousy piece of shit website talking to a bunch of people who will be gone within the next 2-3 years.

The Intra-Industry Trade of the Czech Republic in the Economic Transition
In this paper, we provide an overview of the development of Czech trade and its structure and investigate the nature of Czech intra-industry trade (IIT) and its labor market determinants. We evaluate the evolution of the Czech trade in the context of other transition economies--the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) countries, the Baltic countries, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In our analysis, we use decomposition of IIT into vertical and horizontal components. The Czech Grubel-Lloyd index (GLI) of 75 percent at the SITC two-digit level is still somehow lower than the values for comparable EU countries, but this difference is not high. This indicates a relatively high level of Czech integration into European and world economies. This result is supported by the comparison of IIT in the trade between the European Union and seven European transition economies undertaken by Fidrmuc (2000), showing that the Czech Republic has the highest IIT out of all these countries. Also, the structure of Czech IIT with respect to its horizontal and vertical elements is comparable with the structure of IIT in EU countries. The results of our cross-industry analysis of labor market determinants of IIT show that qualitative characteristics of the labor force are statistically significant predictors for IIT after controlling for time changes and character of industry.

text: Hey everyone, Long time troller here, and I was hoping someone could help me with a small issue I am having with my Char Griller with SFB. My setup is pushing 5 years old, with no mods done. It has been incredibly faithful and I have never had a problem regulating or distributing heat till recently. The metal in the SFB ash tray has started to warp from the heat, and no long closes completely. Now I can't control the heat because to much air is getting in. I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue and what they have done to fix it. I didn't know if there is a way to close the gap (1/3" at one place) or a work around to get the tray to close completely, or to replace the tray. Thanks in advance for your advice. E

International Baccalaureate (Diploma) - Schools offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB Dip) prepare students for university entrance by following the IB programme over the final two years of high school. This involves taking six subjects (three at higher level and three at standard level). Assessment is based on a combination of final examinations and course work that are evaluated by external examiners worldwide, and (in some cases for coursework) by internal assessment. IB examinations for each subject are held on the same days for all students worldwide - in May in the Northern Hemisphere and in October in the case of most Southern Hemisphere schools. Each subject is scored from 1-7, and up to 3 additional points may be awarded for TOK (Theory of Knowledge) essays and for the Extended Essay. A minimum of 24 points is required to obtain the IB diploma, while 45 points is the maximum. A school that has 35 diploma candidates in a given year, out of which 32 passed, has a pass rate of 91%. You can judge the results for yourself by knowing that the world average pass rate is approximately 82%. (Pupils may also opt to take certificates in the individual subject areas, though these on their own may be insufficient for university entry.)

BOSA Foods was founded in 1957 by Augusto Bosa who recognized a need for traditional Italian food in the lower mainland. A pioneer of his time, in the 1940's Augusto Bosa began to import Italian specialty food into Powell River where there were a large number of Italian immigrants working in the mines and the lumber and pulp mills. Sourcing and bringing the finest and sometimes most obscure traditional Italian products to the Italian community gave the community a feeling of home. In 2006, the third generation of the family built a modern 54,000 square foot distribution centre and flagship retail store as the need for space surpassed what the original location on Victoria Drive could provide. With over 7,000 SKU's of specialty products, it is possible to find nearly any traditional Italian or Mediterranean food product at Bosa Foods. In 2016, Victoria Drive location went under construction and Bosa Foods found a temporary home on Commercial Drive, remaining in the area that has represented its roots for 60 years. Stay tuned for the grand re-opening of the Victoria Drive location in late 2017.
Founder, Augusto Bosa at the first trade show Bosa Foods attended in 1962 at the PNE with Vince Abalini.

High on a hill in Tuscany, not far from Siena and Perugia, rises the historic town of Cortona. One can enjoy the beautiful panorama view of Cortona from the new Santa Cristina winery, which came into existence in 2006 with the goal of acknowledging and renewing the tradition of the wine known by the same name, 60 years after the release of its first vintage in 1946. The care and attention that are put into the winemaking are fundamental in its continuous innovation in dealing with indigenous and international varieties. This gives rise to a family of different products that bear the same style, establishing the link between the vineyard, terroir and man's work. The products of the family Santa Cristina were born from this simple philosophy thanks to a continuous bond with the land. Since 1946, we continue this dedication to preserve the quality of Santa Cristina.

It began in a small palazzo on Via Tevere—a street in the heart of Naples where our father and his four sisters were raised. Throughout childhood and to this day, we have spent countless summers on Via Tevere, where we quickly learned about the importance of food in the Neapolitan way of life. Of the utmost significance is the iconic pizza, which has become the symbol of Naples. Pizza Napoletana is lauded for its rustic simplicity, its traditional wood-fire cooking method and its celebration of Neapolitan ingredients. Our goal is to honour our family heritage and the tradition of pizza-making by serving up la vera pizza Napoletana—the true Neapolitan pizza.

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm David Greene.
And I'm Renee Montagne. We're going to hear, now, about an unusual approach to combating an epidemic of HIV/AIDS. It involves a culture of storytelling in Honduras, a long tradition one group there is using to fight the spread of the virus. From the coast of Honduras, reporter Jens Erik Gould has more.
JENS ERIK GOULD, BYLINE: In the village of Corozal, men ready boats for fishing excursions and boys play soccer on a beach lined with thatched huts.
GOULD: On a sandy lot next to the town's main street, two teenage boys begin playing drums while women sing. For centuries, this has been the signature sound of celebration for the Garifuna - an Afro-Caribbean people on the Atlantic coast of Central America. Now this music has an additional purpose - to prevent HIV.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (Spanish spoken)
UNIDENTIFED GROUP: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: As people arrive to hear the drumming, the musicians become actors in a play.
GOULD: The plot centers around a court case. The Garifuna are putting HIV itself on trial. Eduardo Marcial Garcia plays the prosecutor.
EDUARDO MARCIAL GARCIA: (As prosecutor) (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: He says the virus is orphaning children and tearing apart families. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4.5 percent of the Honduran Garifuna population has HIV. To put it in perspective, that's five times as high as the country of Honduras, according to the government. No nation in the Western Hemisphere has a rate that high.
CARMEN SUYAPA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: That's local Garifuna woman Carmen Suyapa , Suyapa contracted the virus from the father of her two daughters. He hadn't told her he was HIV positive. She didn't know medicine existed, and thought she was destined to die. Family members stayed away from her because she was sick. And she said she couldn't get a job because she had the virus.
SUYAPA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: Suyapa - who is now 37 - was so distraught she says she almost killed herself and her baby. She didn't. She left the father and luckily her daughters didn't contract HIV. But she waited years to seek medical treatment.
SUYAPA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: Suyapa hid away, she says, because she couldn't bear other people laughing at her. Not far away, a state-funded HIV clinic provides access to doctors and anti-AIDS medicine at almost no cost.
Factors contributing to the high HIV rate include a lack of education, widespread poverty and heavy migration - as men tend to find work on cruise ships and fishing boats that frequent ports rife with the virus. Locals also say HIV spreads because it can be culturally acceptable to have sex with multiple partners.
DOCTOR MERCY GARCIA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: Dr. Mercy Garcia, who works at the clinic, says people deny having the problem because they're afraid of others judging them. The key, the doctor says, is to provide education that helps change behavior.
ANA VILMA SILVA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: Ana Vilma Silva is 37-year-old Garifuna woman who participates in theatre groups. She and one of her three daughters were both diagnosed with the virus 11 years ago.
SILVA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: Silva says HIV is a major problem, because some people don't understand it or don't even believe it exists. She says theatre and other community groups help address this, because they engage people more than pamphlets or books. Eduardo the actor says there's proof of that.
GARCIA: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: He says his performances have inspired more young people to join the theater group which has 30 members. He says they now lead safer lives.
GOULD: Two hundred-twenty miles away, in the capital of Tegucigalpa, health ministry officials are eager for data on the effectiveness of this approach. They're completing a new study with the CDC on HIV prevalence among the Garifuna. If the rate falls from 4.5 percent, that could indicate educational programs like theatre groups are working.
Kellie Stewart is director of the Honduras health office for USAID. The U.S. government agency and the Honduran government have both funded theatre groups, including the one in Corozal. While she can't speak for the CDC study, she's seen an improvement.
KELLIE STEWART: We have observed a substantial decline in the number of positive HIV tests among beneficiaries of USAID's program in the community.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (Spanish spoken)
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: Back in Corozal, the theatre troupe is finishing its play. The prosecutor and defense attorney have given their arguments in the court case against HIV.
YILIAN DAVID: (Spanish spoken)
GOULD: But narrator Yilian David says the court decides there's no verdict. The reason? HIV is still a major problem, she says. The Garifuna can't declare victory yet. For NPR News, Jens Erik Gould.
MONTAGNE: And this reporting from Honduras was supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

I am so proud to be a part of this organization. Having two adopted children and having traveled overseas to bring them home, I know the great needs of orphanages in Eastern Europe. This organization grew out of a deep concern for the well being of the orphans we met while adopting our daughter in Bulgaria. It was impossible to walk away and forget what we had seen. As the Chairman of the Board of Directors, I am committed to this cause and seeing to it that we meet our goals.
I am very proud and honored to be a member of this worthwhile organization. Love's Hope started as a homespun idea that developed into an organization with a mission to improve the lives of every orphaned child living in Eastern Europe. The founders of Love's Hope International, Inc., are two individuals who as adoptive parents of children from Romania and Bulgaria, experienced the poor living conditions at the orphanages, and were determined to make improvements in the lives of the children a reality. Once incorporated as a legal, non-profit agency, the leaders hit the ground running. Fund-raising efforts began immediately and with the first round of donations, new windows were put in at the orphanage in Pleven. Love's Hope actively sponsors an Infant Nutrition Program and has a new project in the works to replace the roof at the orphanage in Kazanlak. Love's Hope International is involved in many other educational, medical and social programs for the orphans, but we need additional support. Please help us help others and make your donation now!

Sometimes, it seems as if employees just make up reasons to sue their employers. Fortunately for employers, when employees' claims turn out to be ludicrous, courts quickly dismiss the lawsuits.
Recent case: A group of black teachers for the City of New York Department of Education sued, alleging anti-Caribbean discrimination. They claimed they had been targeted by their supervisors, who were also black, but of African-American heritage.
One of the teachers made this claim: She had made anti-African-American statements. What happened was that African-American parents complained that the teacher was anti-American. Her African-American supervisors then developed anti-black-Caribbean animus. Therefore, her argument went, the teacher could sue for discrimination.
The court disagreed, concluding that the teacher's "argument is nonsensical." It concluded that the supervisors might have developed a dislike for the teacher based on the complaints, but that the dislike wasn't based on her black-Caribbean origins. Instead, it was based logically on her perceived bigotry. (Kathy-Ann Vaughn, et al., v. City of New York, No. 06-CV-6547, ED NY, 2010)
Final note: The EEOC recognizes that racial discrimination between members of what many think of as the same protected class is possible. For example, the agency describes a type of discrimination based on the amount of pigment in black skin—so-called color discrimination. There have been cases involving discrimination by lighter-skinned supervisors against darker-skinned subordinates. You can learn more about color discrimination at www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/race-color.html.

D.C. police have so far declined to confirm whether they have tracked down the license plate number of a car driven by a suspect that multiple witnesses have said is systematically removing bundles of the Washington Blade and Metro Weekly magazine from distribution boxes throughout the city.
Blade publisher Lynne Brown said she and others have given the license plate number of a white Toyota Camry and a description of its middle age, white male driver to the police Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit. She has not heard back about whether police have traced the identity of the driver or owner of the car, Brown said.
Witnesses say the license plate on the car in question is a Maryland vanity plate with the letters "JS."
"Theft of all bundles of Washington Blade newspapers from their street boxes around the city continues," Brown told GLLU Officer Justin Markiewicz in a Jan. 10 email. "It happens weekly. It happens in different neighborhoods. It most often happens, by eyewitness accounts, early Friday mornings."
D.C. police spokesperson Gwendolyn Crump said in a statement late Wednesday that the police department is "very committed" to addressing reports of vandalism against the newspaper boxes.
"However, we consulted with the U.S. Attorney's office and they determined that it is not a crime to take a free paper," Crump said. "The criminal statute is that you cannot steal something that is free. It's not about quantity."
Inquires about the status of a possible police investigation into the removal of large quantities of the two LGBT publications from their distribution boxes follows reports in September that Blade and Metro Weekly boxes also were being vandalized in the Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and 17th Street gay entertainment areas.
Brown said one or more suspects have been systematically breaking a clear plastic clip that holds a single issue of the Blade in the window of the distribution boxes, allowing readers to view the front page of the paper to find out when the new edition is delivered each Friday. She said the vandalism is continuing.
Metro Weekly co-publishers Sean Bugg and Randy Shulman didn't reply to a Blade email seeking comment this week.
In a Metro Weekly story in September about the vandalism and thefts, Bugg said one or more vandals had deposited trash and human or animal feces in some of the LGBT publication's boxes. The article, in which Bugg described the vandalism as an anti-LGBT hate crime, said Metro Weekly was expending large sums of money to clean and sterilize the distribution boxes, only to have the perpetrator or perpetrators vandalize the same boxes again.
Brown said GLLU members have told her informally that the removal of a free newspaper from a distribution box doesn't appear to fall under the definition of a theft, even if large quantities of the paper are taken. Brown said she was told that the United States Attorney's office was being consulted to advise police over whether a suspect could be arrested and prosecuted for removing a free publication from a distribution box.
"I would like the owner of the car identified and an arrest warrant sworn out," she said.
William Miller, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's office, said he would make inquiries about whether prosecutors in his office were looking into the matter.
Brian Moore, an aide to D.C. City Council Chair Phil Mendelson (D-At-Large), said Mendelson would be open to studying whether the Council should consider legislation to make it illegal to remove large quantities of a free newspaper or other publications from distribution boxes.
The Metro Weekly article suggested that the motive behind the removal of large quantities of the magazine from its boxes appeared to be anti-LGBT animus in at least some of the cases because stacks of the magazines were found in city trash cans near the site of the boxes.
Brown said another possible motive could be the potential sale of bulk quantities of newspapers to recycling centers that pay for newspapers. An aide to D.C. Council member Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3), who monitors the city's recycling programs for Cheh's Council Committee on Transportation and the Environment, said most commercial recycling centers don't pay for newspapers unless they are delivered in quantities of at least one or more tons, making it difficult for an individual to carry out such a task in a private car or even a small truck.
"The police have been polite and helpful," Brown said. "However the message has been this is a low, low level of priority."

May 3, 1997
Critics say that the Defense Department wastes huge sums of money each year through mismanagement -- including maintaining computer systems which cannot communicate with each other and continuing to make payments to people who are dead. Congress will be holding hearings on these practices soon.
Every year, too, the Department spends some 40 percent of its budget on "infrastructure" -- which covers everything from people who work in the military base cafeterias and day care centers to accountants and managers of health care plans for employees.
A number of analysts think some of these functions could be outsourced or privatized.
- Such a move could save anywhere from $7 billion to $30 billion depending on whose estimates are used.
- By the Pentagon's own estimates the savings could be around $14 billion.
- Savings could be realized, for example, if the private sector were to manage the upkeep of weapons -- a function on which the Pentagon spends some $15 billion a year, according to Alexis de Tocqueville Foundation estimates.
Advocates of outsourcing point out that the money saved could be used to modernize the armed forces or develop new weapons systems, where necessary.
But the problems involved in adopting a privatization policy are political rather than economic, according to political observers. Congressmen and Senators always want these funds directed to their own states and districts. So many are expected to oppose privatization because they might lose the power to direct spending to their own areas of interest.

Jack's science teacher told me today that she went around and asked all the kids to tell their favorite holiday.
Jack's response: "Chinese New Year."
I found this humorous (does this kid ever do anything normal?), but even more so when I asked him about it. "So I hear your favorite holiday is Chinese New Year?"
With about the most soulful sentiment imaginable: "I sure do love that holiday."

Sabine and Threadle.net – Two Names You Need To Remember
Whenever we meet someone new we always jump at things we have in common. What's this, you love sewing as much as I do? It's much rarer to meet someone with more than one common interest.
Let me introduce to you Sabine. I first met her through Twitter as a vented my frustration about coding for Quick Need's blog, or more specifically struggled to code. She's smart, funny, sophisticated, down to earth and just all round a great gal.
For me it was an instant friendship. Having someone to talk to about sewing is wonderful. Don't worry, I didn't forget you, mum! I was ecstatic to discover she also shared my love of computers and coding.
For those of you who have never coded in your life it's a bit like sewing a seam wrong, unpicking it and sewing it the same over and over again. Ok… So it's not always that bad, but sometimes it can be just as frustrating.
Sabine has worked long and hard to create the next big thing in the sewing industry, a truly needed one-stop location for sewing enthusiasts to communicate and share. It's a website known as "Threadle". To say that she's spent a few hundred hours on this project is probably an understatement… Threadle is her "baby".
I may be writing this post a bit prematurely, however I honestly cannot contain my excitement. I need to let you know about Threadle. Whilst the website is still in its early days and hasn't even reached official release, it is already growing by early adopters. There are a several site sections that are being developed that will prove of interest:
Not all of us have blogs. Many sewers don't have the skills or time to play around with code, databases, web hosts… and blogs do cost money to run! But it doesn't stop you from wanting to show the world your wonderful projects.
The Projects section of Threadle is great for showing off any and all creations that you make, or even ask for help. It's easy to upload photos and description of your project and tag it as planned, in progress, completed or even stuck. It's such a great way to quickly get feedback from other sewers.
There are thousands of pattern designers out there. Thousands! Of course, most of us know the big four, and perhaps have a couple other favourites. But those options still limit us. Unless you spend hours browsing forums, blogs and places like Reddit, it's hard to discover quality designers in the styles that you love.
Introducing the Patterns section of Threadle. Sabine has created an ingenious way for you to browse through thousands of patterns to find your ideal pattern.
You can even apply filters to your search:
For example, you can browse only patterns that other users have uploaded project pictures to. This is a great way to see how the garment might look when sewn by a non-professional, or when worn by a non-model.
But it get's even better! You can browse patterns by difficulty, whether they include seam allowances, for the type of fabric, whether it's free or paid, whether it comes with a step-by-step tutorial, its style, its purpose, its intended audience, ideal weather, ideal body shape…. you get the idea.
Obviously the search filter is something that I enjoy using. It's always hard for me to find patterns that suit the hot weather in Kuwait, and to be able to browse for blouses suited to summer weather with different length sleeves…
Did I forget to mention that most filters have sub-categories… so it's incredibly easy to select the not only the length of sleeves that I want, but the type of fit (tight or loose).
Who doesn't love to chat? Meeting people with similar interests will be easy with Threadle's forums. You can easily ask questions, offer help, or just chat away about how cute your cat looks when it tries to "help" you sew.
Who doesn't need to reference something once in a while? The Library section has many bits of information such as size charts for brands, a list of brands, companies, designers and helpful websites. A one-stop place for all this information is amazing… and sorely needed! Whether it's just checking your ideal pattern size or referring to data for drafting patterns, I can honestly say that it will save me plenty of time browsing google.
The Social section is another great way to help you find new friends. With Threadle's built in ability to send messages to other members on the site, it will be a great way to find friends to chat to.
Time for a breather. I lost my breath ranting about how great Threadle.net is going to be. I've watched its development progress for a number of months now, and suffice to say that I am definitely an early adopter.
Whilst there isn't many members – yet – and perhaps a few bugs, I believe that Threadle.net has the chance to be the next big thing in the sewing industry. Sabine is truly passionate about what she is doing, and her work reflects that. She regularly asks for feedback from her members, which suggests that the site will be tailored to suit you.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliate with Threadle or Sabine, and she hasn't asked me to advertise her site in any way. In fact, she doesn't even know that I am writing this post. I have so much faith in what she is doing and her, that I want to support her goals as best I can. And what can I say, I'm excited to use Threadle.

Kenwood mall in Duluth gets a coffee shop
Jodi Takhar and her daughter, Ria, had wanted to open a coffee shop for some time.
It's something they could do together.
But finding the location really came first.
"That's when the ball started rolling," Takhar said.
The 2,000-square-foot storefront in Duluth's Kenwood Shopping Center had been vacant since Game Planet moved out more than three years ago. But, located near the University of Minnesota and the College of St. Scholastica, it was ideal for a coffee shop.
"The location is busy, and it's by the schools," Takhar said of the strip mall at Arrowhead Road and Kenwood Avenue. "It's by a lot of residential homes. And there wasn't another coffee shop for a long ways. There wasn't a place to just come in and sit down, read a book, have a cup of coffee and relax."
So after nine months of preparation -- including extensive barista training for Ria -- they'll open Perk Place coffeehouse and bakery on Wednesday. It'll be the first business for both of them, but Takhar helped manage her husband's consulting business for years.
With four employees to help them, they'll be open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (or 10 p.m. if there are customers), serving up gourmet coffees, teas, lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, smoothies and frappes. They'll offer sandwiches and fresh pastry from Johnson's Bakery in Duluth and cookies and cakes baked on site.
Prices still are being determined, but Takhar said they'll be competitive with Starbucks and Caribou Coffee.
Preparations for the startup have included their quest for the perfect cup of coffee.
"I've been an early guinea pig," said Takhar's husband, Harry. "I'm very particular about coffee. I was having trouble finding a decent cup of coffee. I started having Starbucks coffee. Then they made their coffee and said, 'Try this.' Since then, I was sold on the whole thing."
They learned that starting with good-quality water was essential. So they use Duluth water that's gone through a water purification system. Their coffee beans come from Duluth Coffee Company whose owner Eric Faust has helped them with their brewing .
The store space has been totally remodeled, with seating for 40, including a comfortable lounge area and plenty of outlets, USB ports and free WiFi.
Much is driven by Ria's experience while attending UMD several years ago. Away from her family's home in Bemidji, she would have liked to have had such a coffee shop to go to with ample seating and plug-ins.
"She keeps pointing out things she wanted, things she would have loved to have had," Takhar said.
As she does, they incorporate it into the coffee shop.
During finals week, they'll try staying open 24/7, for example. If the business is there, they'll keep it up.
But they expect more than students to be their customers.
"We have had a lot of response from people who live around the area," Takhar said. "We have had older people come in, saying they want a place to come in and read in the afternoon."
The coffee shop will be for them, too, she said.
