Today's Hillary News & Views begins with a transcript of Clinton's concession speech in New Hampshire.
Vox provides the full speech.
Clinton began by congratulating Senator Sanders:
"Thank you, all, very, very much. My goodness. I don't know what we'd have done tonight if we actually won. This is a pretty exciting event, and I'm very grateful to all of you. I want to begin by congratulating Senator Sanders on his victory tonight, and I want to thank each and every one of you. And I want to say I still love New Hampshire and I always will.
"And here's what we're going to do. Now, we take this campaign to the entire country. We're going to fight for every vote in every state. We're going to fight for real solutions that make a real difference in people's lives."
"You know, when I started this campaign last spring, I knew we were facing profound challenges as a country. The way too many things were going just wasn't right. It isn't right that the kids I met in Flint on Sunday were poisoned because their governor wanted to save money. It isn't right for a grandmother here in New Hampshire or anywhere else to have to choose between paying rent and buying medicine because a prescription drug company increased the price 4,000 percent overnight. And it isn't right that a cashier that I met here in New Hampshire is paid less than her son for doing the same work even though she's been on the job for more years."
"Now, people — people have every right to be angry. But they're also hungry. They're hungry for solutions. What are we going to do? And that is -- that is the fight we're taking to the country. What is the best way to change people's lives so we can all grow together? Who is the best change-maker? And here's what I promise. Here's what I promise: I will work harder than anyone to actually make the changes that make your lives better.
"In this campaign, you've heard a lot about Washington and about Wall Street. Now, Senator Sanders and I both want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics, and let's remember, let's remember, Citizens United, one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our country's history, was actually a case about a right-wing attack on me and my campaign. A right-wing organization took aim at me and ended up damaging our entire democracy.
"So, yes, you're not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me. We also agree -- we also agree that Wall Street can never be allowed to once again threaten main street, and I will fight to rein in Wall Street, and you know what, I know how to do it."
"So when I tell you no bank could be too big to fail and no executive too powerful to jail, you can count on it. Now, the real differences in this race are truly over, 'How do we create a future of prosperity, opportunity, and security for all of us?' We need to build a growth and fairness economy with higher wages and more good-paying jobs — including a bold, national mission to create millions of jobs in clean energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure."
"And we need -- we need to unleash, again, the innovation of our entrepreneurs and small businesses (and) make it easier for parents to balance work and family. Close the loopholes in our tax code. Crack down on corporations that game the system. Stop other countries from taking advantage of us with unfair trade practices."Clinton then expanded the inequality argument beyond economics:
"But even all that is not enough. We also have to break through the barriers of bigotry. African-American parents shouldn't have to worry that their children will be harassed, humiliated, even shot because of the color of their skin. Immigrant families shouldn't have to lie awake at night listening for a knock on the door. LGBT Americans shouldn't be fired from their jobs because of who they are or who they love. And let's finally deliver something long overdo, equal pay for women in this economy. So here's how I see it. A president has to do all parts of the job for all Americans to make sure nothing holds you back. Not debt, not discrimination, not a deck that's always stacked for those at the top.
"We need to break down those barriers and build ladders of opportunity for every person. That's how we will build a better tomorrow together, and that has been the cause and work of my life. You know, my family and my faith taught me a simple thing, do all the good in all the ways you can for all the people you can. That's what called me to a life of service. Just like millions of teachers and nurses and police officers and firefighters and members of our armed services, who get up every day and do the quiet work, the heroic work for all the rest of us."
"But when children anywhere in our country go to bed hungry, or are denied a quality education, or who face abuse or abandonment, that diminishes all of us. That's why I did start my career at the Children's Defense Fund. That's why I went undercover in Alabama to expose racism in schools. That's why I worked to reform juvenile justice in South Carolina. And that is why I went to Flint, Michigan, on Sunday."
"When people anywhere in America are held back by injustice, that demands action. That is why I believe so strongly that we have to keep up with every fiber of our being the argument for, the campaign for human rights. Human rights as women's rights, human rights as gay rights, human rights as worker rights, human rights as voting rights, human rights across the board for every single American. Now, that is who I am. That is what I've always done."Finally, a message to both those who supported her opponent and her own supporters:
"I know I have some work to do, particularly with young people, but I will repeat again what I have said this week. Even if they are not supporting me now, I support them. Because I know -- I know I've had a blessed life, but I also know what it's like to stumble and fall. And so many people across America know that feeling."
"And we've learned it's not whether you get knocked down that matters: It's whether you get back up. So, my friends, please join me in building on the progress we've made under President Obama. Pushing forward every single day for as long as it takes to break down those barriers that hold us back. We've got to believe in the basic proposition of our country when all Americans have the chance to succeed, when each of us has the opportunity to live up to our own God-given potential."
"Then and only then can America live up to its potential as well. So let me -- let me thank all of you. I am very grateful to my wonderful family, knowing they are by my side. Keeps me going every day. To the thousands of volunteers and organizers who called neighbors and knocked on doors in the New Hampshire snow."
"To everyone who went to hillaryclinton.com to give what you could, more than 700,000 people have contributed to this campaign. The vast majority giving less than $100. I know that doesn't fit with the narrative. I know there are those who want to deny the passion and the purpose you all show every day for this campaign, but you are the reason we are here and you are the reason we are going to win the nomination and then win this election together."
Some analysis of her strategy going forward, as states that reflect the diversity of the Democratic coalition begin to vote.
CNN reports:
Hillary Clinton's top campaign aides said tonight, shortly before their candidate conceded defeat in New Hampshire, that their goal in the coming days and weeks will be to broaden the race for the Democratic nomination and make the case that voters actually care about more than just taking on Wall Street. The decision means, in effect, the Clinton campaign plans to double down on the broad messaging they have used for the past two months instead of mimicking Bernie Sanders and focusing more on the economy. Aides said they want to test this theory about voters in the coming weeks.
Clinton's top aides feel that most voters, while drawn to Sanders' focused message, actually care about more than just Wall Street and the banks and can be swayed by plans on a range of topics, including more hyperfocused issues such as Alzheimer's, autism and education.
The campaign also plans to focus more on March 1 states, not just upcoming contests in Nevada and South Carolina. Clinton's campaign started this plan earlier this month, when they began to move more staff into Super Tuesday states. They currently have at least an aide in each state that votes on March 1.
"This is going to be fought on a broader range of issues," said Jen Palmieri, Clinton's communications director. "Going forward, we will be talking about Nevada and South Carolina, but we will also be spending time in other Super Tuesday states because March is really going to matter."The Washington Post reports:
The Democratic race heads next to Nevada, where there is a significant Latino population. Clinton is expected to win the Feb. 20 Democratic caucuses, although Sanders's team is predicting the finish could be close.
A week later comes the South Carolina primary, in which Clinton is heavily favored because of her support among African American voters, who make up more than half of the Democratic electorate there.
Clinton's decision to leave New Hampshire on Sunday and make a visit to Flint, Mich., was an early indicator of the new direction that her campaign is taking. Clinton has pointed to the poisonously high levels of the lead in the water of the predominantly African American city as evidence of lingering economic and racial inequality.
Shortly before the polls in New Hampshire closed Tuesday, the Clinton campaign announced that the mothers of Eric Garner, Dontre Hamilton and Jordan Davis — African American men whose deaths as a result of gun violence or at the hands of police helped spawn the Black Lives Matter movement — will be appearing at events on her behalf in coming weeks.
Clinton also will be speaking more about her work as a young woman investigating racial discrimination by private academies in Alabama, examining the living conditions of young people incarcerated in adult jails in South Carolina, and registering Latinos to vote in Texas as a campaign worker for 1972 Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern.
She plans to continue hammering Sanders for his mixed record on gun control, which her campaign sees as a top priority among African Americans. She will also argue that his proposal for a government-run health-care system is not as good for low-income and minority Americans as the existing one set up under the Affordable Care Act.Politico reports:
The next two early states to vote, Nevada and South Carolina, have much larger Latino and African American populations, which means he no longer has the luxury of appealing to his base of white liberals.
"He can't get there from here. She can win with everything he's got," said Joe Trippi, who faced a similar problem when he was trying to figure out the math for the 2004 campaign of Howard Dean, another Vermont liberal popular among white progressives, but one who didn't have a primary opponent with the kind of strength among African-Americans and other minority voters that Clinton's shown in 2008 and so far in this race.
"Once you leave New Hampshire, the Democratic Party is 44 percent non-white," Trippi said. "What Iowa should have told everybody is that they're probably going to dead heat each other among the 56 percent of white Democrats—and that's probably being generous to him, because of all the conservative and moderate white Democrats elsewhere around the country."
Sanders has said that he plans to stick around until the convention, and new investments in television ads in Minnesota, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Oklahoma (all largely white states) on Tuesday sent a clear message that he has the money to fund that kind of prolonged challenge.
That still won't be enough to take Clinton down: Sanders would need to almost run the table in the 10 caucus states that come in March and do respectably enough in the primary states, all while holding off a Clinton machine that'll be pulling out all the stops.
Illinois State Sen. Terry Link, an assistant majority leader in Springfield and a Clinton delegate, said that he doesn't expect there to be much of a race on his home turf on March 15.
"Sanders will obviously do very well in New Hampshire, but I think after that, where does he go?" Link said. "You see the handwriting on the wall."
Talking Points Memo reports:Sanders will also need to defuse the all-but-inevitable grenade that will be rolled into the fray by his rivals -- that Sanders is trying to beat an almost all-white path to the nomination through the notably not diverse Democratic electorates in caucus states like Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Maine, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, and Washington.
Moments after the New Hampshire Democratic primary was called for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by the major networks, Hillary Clinton's campaign blasted out a three-page memo penned by campaign manager Robby Mook stressing the importance of the primaries that come after the first four in February.
"The reason is simple: while important, the first four states represent just 4% of the delegates needed to secure the nomination; the 28 states that vote (or caucus) in March will award 56% of the delegates needed to win," the memo said.
In addition to the delegate math, the memo argued that "the March states better reflect the true diversity of the Democratic Party and the nation."
Ultimately, it promised that, come the March primaries, "Hillary Clinton is well positioned to build a strong – potentially insurmountable – delegate lead next month."FiveThirtyEight reports:
To buttress that point, the memo pointed to her "high levels of support in the African American and Hispanic communities," which the memo said was rooted in her past advocacy for minorities on issues like criminal justice and immigration. It also touted the campaign's ground game, which the memo said is using a "data-driven approach" to capitalize on the delegate apportionment in March primary states.
I'm not sure I buy that tonight is an equally poor result for both Democratic and Republican "party elites." It's been clear to us for a long time that New Hampshire was an excellent state for Bernie Sanders, between its white and liberal demographics and its proximity to Vermont. The key tests of the breadth of Sanders's constituency are still to come.
For Republicans, however, New Hampshire is a state that's supposed to winnow the field. Instead, it's given us a mess, with four "establishment" candidates all bunched up between 8 percent and 16 percent of the vote as I type this. Although it's not quite the worst-case scenario for the GOP — Trump's middling performance in Iowa is evidence that he can be stopped under the right conditions — they're in a pretty rough spot.The Guardian reports:
Bernie Sanders' campaign, in some ways, taps into the desire for an alternative to Clinton that voters sought in 2008. And yet African Americans, the strongest, most consistent voting block, haven't abandoned Clinton this time; many are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the socialist democratic values Sanders proposes to bring to the White House. Clinton still holds many crucial endorsements from elected officials, unions, activist groups and black clergy. She now frequently invokes Obama in her remarks, a key signal to voters that she intends to be heir to his legacy.
The Sanders camp, however, appears to have only recently taken this relationship seriously, employing surrogates such as former Ohio state senator Nina Turner, scholar and Obama critic Cornel West and hip-hop artist Killer Mike, in an attempt to connect with black voters who are angry, alienated and outside the black Democratic establishment or disappointed with Obama's record.
It is a strategy that should have been employed months ago. Sanders is a true believer in that he simply thinks people will support him without actually courting voters. In the earlier days of his campaign, rallies that swelled to 20,000 were homogeneous, dominated by blue-collar white Americans. The turning point for Sanders among many African Americans was when the candidate fluffed his response to a Black Lives Matter protest at his rally in Seattle last August, an incident that outraged his supporters.
Yet that incident only underscored a fraught history between the black community and the white left. The white left in America has often asked black America to subordinate the fight against racism for a collective struggle against class divisions. That demand ignores the fact that racism overlays and complicates every aspect of American life.
In addition, to some young black voters, Sanders' answer to the question of reparations for the descendants of slavery had been disappointingly lacklustre, again showing a misunderstanding of how race and class intersect.
For others, Sanders' words sound like idealism that isn't rooted in a tangible plan. Job creation, single-payer healthcare and free college are great ideas but would require huge political capital to become reality. To the black Democratic establishment, Clinton seems more plausible.South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn is considering a formal endorsement of Clinton.
The Washington Post reports:
Close friends and family have put heavy pressure on him to use his prestige in the state to make it known who he supports.
"That was certainly my intention," he said of his initial plan to remain neutral. "But I am re-evaluating that. I really am having serious conversations with my family members."
At his weekly session with reporters Tuesday, Reid reiterated his plan to stay neutral.
Without formally stating who they want him to endorse, Clyburn made clear that the most pressure came from Clinton supporters, particularly his wife and one of his daughters.
He acknowledged that the Congressional Black Caucus's political action committee, chaired by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), has decided to endorse Clinton but is holding off making it formal out of deference to Clyburn as he considers his own decision.
In the interview, Clyburn said he could not envision a scenario in which he would publicly go against his allies in the CBC — which leaves him with two options, remaining publicly neutral or endorsing Clinton. An endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, does not seem plausible, he said.
If Clyburn did endorse Clinton, it would be a symbolic victory for the former secretary of state and a final attempt to heal the wounds from her previous presidential bid in South Carolina.
Instead, Clyburn said Tuesday, Clinton's victory in Iowa, however narrow, held support for the former first lady, particularly among his state's African-American voters.
Even a big Sanders win in New Hampshire would not shift the dynamic in South Carolina, he argued.
"Whatever happens in New Hampshire," Clyburn said in an interview Thursday, Clinton "got inoculated a bit. It won't matter a whole lot."
Despite the youth vote, Clyburn said Clinton remains steady in South Carolina among voters most likely to show up for the primary. "There's not been a big surge," he said of the Vermont senator's support. "The reliable primary voters that I know don't seem to have shifted at all."Clinton picked up another South Carolina endorsement.
State Senator Marlon Kimpson endorses:
In a press conference today, Senator Marlon Kimpson endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, highlighting her record on fighting for children and families and plans to build on President Obama's progress.
"Dating back to Hillary Clinton's time in South Carolina working to remove teenagers jailed side-by-side with adult prisoners, she's been fighting for children and families in our state throughout her entire life. Her longtime fight for opportunity and justice didn't begin a few months ago — it's been decades of work — especially for those without a voice
"She's the candidate who has bold plans to build on President Obama's record of investing in affordable health care and good jobs. Her priorities are the right priorities for South Carolina families—from addressing the public health crisis of gun violence to improving our schools, and she will always ensure our children have the opportunities to succeed."Systemic racism has been a primary focus of Clinton's campaign, and with the primary moving to states with large minority populations, she is emphasizing related issues more than ever.
Here's her new campaign ad:
Maya Harris writes for Medium:
By now, you've probably heard the statistic: Women who work full-time, year round in the U.S. are still paid just 79 cents for every dollar men earn. But what people don't always clarify is this: That figure represents an average for all women — and women of color often lose out even more.
Anyone who is serious about taking on income inequality needs to be serious about closing the gender pay gap. Women of color bring in a larger share of family income than ever before, and they are more likely to support families without the income of another earner. Every dollar makes a difference — and that makes closing the wage gap even more important.
Hillary understands that when women earn less for their work, they lose out on money that could go toward groceries, rent, and college funds. As Hillary said in South Carolina last May, "When any parent is short-changed, the entire family is short-changed. And when families are short-changed, America is short-changed. And therefore this is not a women's issue — this is a family issue and an American economic issue."
During those same remarks, Hillary outlined an aggressive plan to ensure fair pay for all, including:
President Obama recently took important steps to advance equal pay for women. To build on the progress we've made under President Obama, we need to elect Hillary Clinton. We cannot let the Republicans take us backwards — and make no mistake, that's exactly what they'll do. One Republican candidate for president said he'd never even heard of the Paycheck Fairness Act. Another went so far as to say that efforts to guarantee fair pay reminded him of the Soviet Union.
- Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. This bill would provide sorely needed additional tools for women to fight for equal pay, and if Republicans stopped blocking it, it would be law today. Hillary first introduced this legislation in the Senate in 2005, and she will champion it as president.
- Increase pay transparency. As Hillary said last May, "You can't stand up for equal pay if you don't know whether you're paid equally." Last week, President Obama announced an important step to do just that. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Department of Labor proposed to collect pay data by gender, race, and ethnicity from businesses with 100 or more people, covering over 63 million employees. This step will improve enforcement of our equal pay laws and help to ensure women are compensated fairly.
- Raise wages for low-income workers. Hillary believes that no one who is working full time should have to raise their family in poverty. The lowest paid jobs in America are disproportionately held by women, especially women of color — particularly tip-dependent jobs like servers and hairdressers, who are often paid far less than the minimum wage, sometimes as little as $2.13 an hour. And they face increased instances of exploitation, wage theft, and sexual harassment. Hillary will fight to raise wages and increase workplace protections for these workers, and she'll make it easier for more women to enter higher paying fields like science, engineering, and technology.
- Implement family-friendly policies like paid leave and flexible scheduling. Hillary has pointed to the so-called "motherhood penalty" that women incur on the job — and women of color are even less likely to have access to paid family and medical leave or sick days. We need workplace policies that allow parents to meet their obligations at home without sacrificing pay at work.
Hillary Clinton understands that closing the gender pay gap is a fundamental part of what we need to do to keep growing our economy. And for women of color, that can't happen fast enough.Clinton and her campaign are pushing back against state GOP legislation that moves to restrict reproductive rights and supporting measures that push for LGBTQ equality.
News OK reports:
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign Monday blasted a proposed ballot question in Oklahoma that would ban abortion and make some forms of contraception illegal.
Maya Harris, a senior adviser to the Democrat's campaign, said Clinton "believes Oklahoma women have a constitutional right to safe, legal abortion and to contraception, and they deserve to be able to make their health care decisions without interference from government or extreme special interest groups."
Harris' comments came in response to an initiative petition filed Jan. 27 by a Norman man who wants a statewide vote to change the Oklahoma Constitution.
The proposed ballot question says it would prohibit abortion and "contraception that causes the death of an unborn human being."
It would also ban "the deliberate destruction of unborn human beings created in a laboratory" and any created by in vitro fertilization.
Harris said, "Banning abortion and common forms of birth control is not only unconstitutional — it is bad for the health of Oklahoma women. This initiative petition should be challenged and, if it makes it on the ballot, rejected by Oklahomans like similar measures have been rejected by voters in other states."Miami Herald reports:
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday announced her support for Florida's Competitive Workforce Act, which would ban LGBT discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations.
"LGBT Floridians deserve to live their lives free from discrimination — and establishing comprehensive nondiscrimination protections would be a critical step forward for both Florida and the nation," Clinton said in a statement to the Miami Herald. "I'm heartened to see the business community working hand in hand with both Republicans and Democrats to turn words into action. This is a win-win for both Florida families and the state's economy. As president, I will fight for full federal equality for LGBT Americans and ensure protections like these become the law of the land nationwide."

Billionaires Have Lots of Cash
by Paul-Martin Foss •
Most probably would probably read this title and say, "Duh, of course billionaires have lots of cash." But you have to remember, portfolio managers have traditionally recommended not keeping a lot of cash on hand. The fact that billionaires are holding, on average, $600 million of cash apiece, and millionaires are holding 20-30% of their assets in cash means that markets are anything but settled. Under normal market conditions you might expect 3-5% of the assets of the rich to be held in cash. These large cash holdings mean two things: 1.) there just aren't that many good investment opportunities out there that warrant depletion of cash holdings, and 2.) the rich fear that rising inflation may be just around the corner.

Carrie Underwood: 'Swimwear defeats me'
The star makes it a point to be constructive about body criticism
Country singer Carrie Underwood created her CALIA swimwear line to avoid "feeling defeated" every time she tries on a bikini.
The stunning Blown Away hitmaker designed the bathing suits to celebrate real women.
"Swimwear was definitely important to me because I find myself in a store like, 'I can't wear any of this…' I take things to the dressing room feeling defeated," she explains to Extra.
To honour the beauty of women's imperfect physiques, her latest campaign shoot for CALIA, which was shot in her native state of Oklahoma, has taken the authenticity of the brand to new levels.
"I love that it's (the new CALIA campaign) all about just being real," she gushes. "Workouts don't have to happen in a gym. We've been (shooting) outside, we've been in a pasture walking horses around, we've been on a softball field - it's been really great incorporating some very amazing real girls, real life."
Carrie, who released her first offerings from the fitness line back in March (15), revealed inspiration for her body-confident swimwear came from being bullied during her rise to fame after winning the fourth season of American Idol in 2005.
"It was definitely an introduction into being in the public eye, but it was also… a catalyst for me to say, 'Okay, I'm not making some healthy choices and maybe I can do more of that, not for those people but for me'," she recalls of how she reacted to being criticised for her weight when she first became a celebrity.
"Once I made a couple of decisions that started me going in the right direction, everything kind of fell into place… It was a negative thing that turned into something very positive."

You can choose who supplies the natural gas that Columbia Gas of Ohio delivers to your home or business.
Your options include*:
*Customers in the PIPP Plus Program are not eligible for the Standard Choice Offer or the Customer CHOICE® Program. Instead, they receive the Default Sales Service (DSS) rate
The Standard Choice Offer (SCO) rate equals the Market Price of natural gas plus a Retail Price Adjustment. The rate varies monthly based on changes in the Market Price.
The Market Price is the month-end natural gas settlement price on the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange).
The Retail Price Adjustment is determined by an annual auction conducted by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The Retail Price Adjustment represents the supplier's non-gas costs of doing business.
The Market Price is expressed in Mcf (1,000 cubic feet of gas). We bill in Ccf (100 cubic feet), and so the SCO price is expressed in Ccf.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) provides a comparison of the SCO price with offers from suppliers in the Customer CHOICE® Program.

A friend told me,
"We hate when other people limit us, but we always limit ourselves."
The danger is not in what people say, it's when it invades our spirits and we begin to believe them. I know I'm not a failure. I know it's not true, but the emotional implications of my past experiences sometimes sneak their way out of my subconscious and present themselves as my conscious doubts, fears, and feelings of inadequacy.
I've searched my extensive vocabulary and still can't find any other terms that could more accurately encompass what exactly I was dealing with. All these years I had been carrying around all this heavy ass shit! All these words, simple sentences spoken to me throughout my adolescence made any little challenge that I faced an internal struggle with my sense of self worth. All in all, my past was spoiling my present.
This heavy-ass, heartbreaking, soul wrenching, demeaning shit that I thought I'd left in the past has been hiding in the cracks and corners of my life. These thoughts creep into my bedroom at times when my friends, my family, anyone who could intervene on my behalf are out of reach. In the wee hours of the morning, as I deal with the stress of a paper or building my project, they sneak into my room. Well orchestrated thieves, they wait until I am alone and vulnerable. These thoughts come to rob me of my positive sense of self. And I, like a childhood reflex, cup the hands of my heart around the ears of my soul in an effort to protect my inner most self. Unfortunately, memories of past pain unrealized seem to sift through. I am transformed into my fourteen year old self and everything runs together.
"Stupid Girl.You were probably somewhere being fast with some boys, huh? Frisky. Stripper. Prostitute. Fast-Tailed. Whore. Bitch. Nobody wants you anyway. Not your mother or your father. Nobody, remember that. Get your ass out my house and never bring your ass back! Why are you studying all the time? You aren't going anywhere. Straighten your hair, be a good representation of the race. Always telling the truth. Always got so much to say? Your husband's gonna beat the shit out of you when he finds out how many men you slept with. I prayed you wouldn't get into that school. You're only good enough to be a mother in the projects. Always crying, don't be so sensitive! You think you know everything. Are you sad because you have one arm? Are you depressed because you don't have any friends because you have one arm? You would be pretty if…smart if….perfect if….But you have one arm so you can't, you shouldn't, you won't!"
The people that I love the most almost ruined me. While the moments of love that we share are sweet, the moments of rejection are so much more alienating. These were the same individuals that told me to hold my head up high, be proud of who I was and where I come from. And I was, but I was also so conflicted. I come from a family of people who love hard, but hurt even harder. I come from a long line of beautiful, smart, loving, and painfully complicated people. I love my family, but their refusal to take responsibility for the role they play in wounding the spirits of the ones that they love is the hardest thing I've had to cope with.
I've moved past my anger, so I don't expect apologies. I only hope for personal growth. I long for the 'Sorry, Not Sorry's' to be done away with. For the, 'I apologize if you took it that way' to finally be put to rest. The 'It happened, but not like that' to be silenced. And the infamous. 'I'm sorry for some things I may have said, but honestly it's your fault too because…'
Stop it! Just stop. Wrong is wrong. Momentary anger and frustration do not serve as justification to say spiritually damaging things. We must stop blaming the ones we hurt for our own wrong doings. Hurt people, hurt people. If we search within ourselves for the reasons behind why we lash out toward others, why we sometimes tear people down, then we can really address the root of our own personal suffering and progress.
No one of us is perfect; no one of us is wholly and completely innocent. My goal in writing this is not to assign blame, but instead to acknowledge the fact that there is power in acknowledging the pain of your past. As I look back on my experiences in high school, I realize that at any given moment I could've strayed from my path, retreated into myself, and become everything I was told that I was. But I didn't. I had people around me who believed in me when I couldn't myself. I had people who fought for me, who held my hand and held my secrets. And, I had myself.
The people that I love the most almost ruined me. They almost ruined me because I loved them, respected them, and trusted them with my happiness. But, happiness is homemade, and once I realized that I had all the ingredients, I was one step further to becoming the amazing woman I want to be.

WOW!! Take a good long look at this BEAUTY! Seriously, go back and use the close up feature and really take a good look. Take your time, I'll wait here til you're through.......... when they say, "they don't make things like they used to" this is what they're talking about.It's a BELL & HOWELL, FILMO "MASTER", 16MM, silent movie projector from the 1920's-30s era. Features a bronze color finish with accents. Includes the original owners manual, power cord, oil can, two take up reels and hard case. Everything except a movie to watch. The motor runs fine in both forward and reverse. The fan works well and the lamp still works. This baby was obviously always handled with care and stored when not in use because it looks as good as the day it was made! It will be PERFECT for vintage/antique decor. The storage case shows ordinary, very light scuffs on the exterior, but nothing serious or distracting. The maroon color, cordurory interior has one rip (easily seen in the photo) along the right side where the projector catches when you put it back in the box. The storage box has a small compartment for the oil can and an area for a spare bulb (empty - there is not a spare bulb) that can't be seen in the photos (underneath the projector). This is the one you've been waiting on as the PERFECT accent piece ... read more

Bruce Jenner knew something was wrong in Kim Kardashian's marriage but had no idea she was getting divorced until he read it in the newspaper.
Bruce Jenner only found out Kim Kardashian was getting divorced when he read it in a newspaper.
The reality TV star says he was the "last to know" that his stepdaughter had split from husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage last October, though he was aware they had been having problems.
He said: "I found out she was getting divorced by hearing about it on the news and stuff.
"I was the last to know. But I could hear telephone conversations in other rooms happening, and I knew something was up, but I didn't know it was that bad until after."
Though Bruce - who is married to the socialite's mother Kris Jenner - has given Kim advice in the past, he insists he is not getting involved in her current situation because he thinks it is best to stay out of personal matters.
He added to America's OK! magazine: "I'm smart enough to stay out of all those things. I have given them advice through out the years, but in this particular case I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to ... you don't get involved in love. Just hope for the best."

Carmelo Anthony has made a significant impact on the New York Knicks since he was traded to them last season and he's already starting to break team records.
During Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic, Anthony finished with 20 points and set a new record along the way. With his 20-point performance, Melo set a new Knicks record with his 30th straight 20-point game. The previous 20-point game streak was 29 held by Richie Guerin way back in 1961-62. Anthony is one of the best scorers in the NBA so it isn't much of a surprise that he's already breaking scoring records in his short stint with his new team.
Overshadowing Anthony's record breaking performance Wednesday night was the combination play from the Knicks' two big men, Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire. The two combined for 35 points on 17-18 shooting from the field with Stoudemire hitting all seven shots that he took.
Despite Anthony being the potent scorer that he is, setting a record like the one he did Wednesday is something that is not easily accomplished. There are a myriad of factors that could go against a player on any given night– foul trouble, cold-shooting, stout defense– but Anthony has weathered it all to score at least 20 points in his 30th straight contest.
He's the Knicks' No. 1 option each time down the floor, and that contributes to his nightly scoring numbers, but it's almost a given that Anthony will get to foul line, early and often. However, against the Magic, Anthony had to get his 20 without much of a contribution from free-throw attempts as he only went to the line once.
I'm sure that one of the reasons that Anthony wanted to play for the Knicks, besides just playing in a big city, was their tradition and history. Now, just a little over one season into his time in New York, he's adding tradition and history himself.

Putting children and young people first in the family courts
Anything as potentially life-changing as social work or judicial intervention into a child's life needs recording and for that record to remain accessible for the child concerned – and often for those around them.
When I was a frontline social worker, I sat with a lot of people who had been in care and who wanted to look back at their records. It was too often an embarrassing exercise, ploughing through only partly comprehensible reports and case recording, trying to tell the story – as simply as possible – of what happened and why decisions were made.
As Albert Einstein said, 'everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler'. And on that note, I was pleased to read a recent child and parent-friendly judgment about a complex case written by Mr Justice Jackson. Mr Justice Jackson has condensed a complex story into an easy to read 11 page judgment. For the individuals involved, they will have access for the rest of their lives to a clear narrative about why profound decisions were taken in respect of the individual children. Growing up unhappily, for whatever reason, can have a lifelong impact. However resilient you are, the demons can come back to haunt you in different ways at different times. Coping with the pressure this brings is like managing any long-term condition. You have to learn to live with it as best you can. Often people don't have total recall or understanding about what happened, which is how myths and fantasies can set in and distort the reality. Having your story understood and then recorded for your personal posterity is a valuable front line service for children, not just an administrative afterthought. Our challenge is to leave our written records in that accessible form.

Best place in Africa! Jul 04, 2012
When I think about Malawi or Africa then I think about this place. It was the most beautiful place on earth and it is so relaxed and friendly. The best part is that its also cheap and not yet exploited like this setting would be in for example thailand. Go here! Enjoy here! Stay here! You have to! It will be the most relaxed days of your trip. They have more then dorms, they have bungalows directly on the shoreline and really nice outside showrs that make you think that you are in a wildlife adventure in africa. The food is awesome, the beers are always cold, and you put everything on a tab and pay as you leave. Its close to a great beach if the one they have is not enough for you. They have a pooltable and an awesome bar. The whole place is situated on a mountainside towards lake Malawi, and that promises for some spectacular views. Everyday they light candles in their restaurant and you sit on this wooden deck with a magical view of lake Malawi as the sun goes down. in the day time you sit in the sun and just enjoy their friendly service. I recomend this place for everyone, not just backpackers, young, families, couples, seniors backpackers, singles, everyone can stay here and enjoy it, and thats what makes it such a wonderful place!

Can School Vouchers Improve Neighborhoods?
"The strongest argument for school vouchers is moral. It is simply wrong for rich, predominantly white liberals to insist that poor, predominantly minority children attend dysfunctional and often dangerous schools that rich, predominantly white liberals would never allow their own children to set so much as one foot in. It is callous for rich, predominantly white liberals to continue to tell inner-city parents, year after year, "Urban schools must be fixed! Meanwhile, we're outta here... Introducing vouchers, Nechyba found, had a striking positive effectnot on poor public schools (remember, he assumed they would not improve) but on poor neighborhoods. 'We're talking about large effects,' he told me. 'We're talking about average incomes in poor districts rising 20 or 30 percent, and housing prices going up comparably. We're talking about the tax base going up dramatically.'"

The women who live on campus reside in one of our two dormitories.
Alumni Hall. Named in honor of the many alumni who graduated Cincinnati Christian University, Alumni Hall consists of three floors of housing. The dorm has dual-occupancy rooms with communal bathrooms/showers on each floor. There are a small number of "apartment suites" in the building, reserved for upperclassmen. The dorm is located conveniently next to the Worship and Ministry building with easy access to the Hill Top Coffee Shop.
Restoration Hall. Until the new Rine Hall is completed (the old Rine Hall was demolished in 2014), some women live on the first floor of Restoration Hall, named for the Restoration Movement, the driving concept behind the establishment of Cincinnati Christian University. Built in the early 1970′s, Restoration Hall has dual-occupancy rooms, communal bathrooms/showers in each wing, and convenient parking located in back of the building. Although the dorm sits on the lowest part of the hill, it is still a short walk up the stairs to the Hill Top Coffee Shop and classrooms in the Worship and Ministry Center.

It said applications for its A Level job schemes for school leavers have risen almost fivefold since 2008.
PwC said the 2,352 applications it received for its 100 'school and college leaver vacancies' this year, up 34pc on last year, showed young people are having to "consider a wider range of options".
Gaenor Bagley, PwC partner and head of people at the firm, said: "There's a generation of students weighing up their career and training options differently, whether because of university fees, economic forecasts or graduate unemployment, and employers have to adapt. Students are looking at their options in their teens, rather than waiting until their third year at university,"
The firm also noted that there is strong interest in internship placements from graduates who are struggling to find work. According to research by the Higher Education Statistics Agency, more than 20,000 of last year's graduates, or 9pc, remained unemployed six months after leaving university.

Few phones in the Samsung range come with a more attractive press shot than the Galaxy Alpha. We knew for months in the lead up to the Alpha's release that is was coming as heavy indicators suggested Sammy wanted a premium S5 variant. That wasn't true as it turns out because the Alpha comes with less specs than the original Galaxy S5. It does, however, come with the metal finish around the edges and marks the first phone from Samsung to step away from the plastic finish.
If you've had enough of the stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat that Alpha come out of the box with, you may have viewed several articles from out site that uses a factory reset, or at least recommends applying the reset if you get stuck. You see, a factory reset restores the smart phone back to its original form how it was before you purchased the device. That means without any of your data. I know, scary thought isn't it? So long as you backup the handset, there's no reason for you to lose any data. These days you'll find the stock backup utility from Android operating system far easier and you have application available from the Google Play store which help you make copies of just about everything you could image.
There are many modes any Android smart phone can start the bootloader in. There is Upload Mode, Download Mode, charging mode, recovery mode and the normal mode which we all know as the usual booting process. Each mode works for different reasons. We aren't explaining each different mode here because that will confuse you. However, we are explaining every detail about the resetting process.
There is little difference between a factory reset and a hard reset. Essentially they both do the same thing: wipe all the data and force the user into starting with a clean OS where they must enter the account details including email and passwords again. The one difference is the way you do it. You can press button combinations for a hard reset or enter recovery mode where you start the factory reset. Android didn't come out publicly and explain why the use of two different names. Anyhow, we'll show you both ways of applying the reset.
Make sure you backup any data you don't want to lose. Data examples include your phone contacts, videos, pictures, music, SMS text messages and the Settings. As I said before, everyone has their own way they like to back up. Samsung has the Samsung Kies utility which allows users to connect their phones or tablet to the Windows PC and sync the device. It is also handy for installing the latest USB drivers just by one click of the button. There are other ways of backing up such as installing official apps from the Google Play Store. Helium is really popular with the Android crowd. Other options include Easy Backup, G Cloud Backup and SMS Backup plus.
How to back up the Galaxy S5
- Turn on the mobile.
- Tap the application icon from the home screen.
- Open the Settings app by tapping the icon.
- Open the "General" tab, followed by "backup and reset."
- Enable the "back up my data" and "Automatic restore" option.
- Proceed to settings up the Google account if you don't have one already.
- Hard Resetting from the Settings:
How to Hard Reset from Settings
- Turn on the mobile.
- Open the menu option from the home screen.
- Tap the Settings icon.
- Tap in the general tab.
- Tap the backup and restore.
- Tap on the option that says "Reset."
- Agree to the terms and conditions.
- It takes some minutes for the reset to be applied.
- Upon reboot your phone is completely wiped.
Apply the Factory Reset from Recovery:
- Turn off the phone.
- Boot it up by pressing Volume Up + Power + Home keys.
- You are now entering recovery mode.
- Pick the "wipe data factory reset" option.
- Agree to the terms and conditions.
- The same waiting process applies.
Applying the reset using apps
- Download the "Factory Reset Mate" app.
- Wait for the installation to complete on your display.
- Click the app icon.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Option 2:
- Download the Simple Factory Reset app from the Google Play store.
- Wait for the download to complete. Open the new app icon.
- Tap the "Activate" button.
- Tap the "Reset" button.
Remember: there are often solutions to your problems that don't need a full factory reset where you are starting the phone from scratch. However, if you can't get out of trouble and you need to start using your phone again, applying the hard reset is what you want. You may need to send your smart phone back to the manufacturer if the reset doesn't fix the problem. You must have a warranty or else they won't look at the device.

The best freelance writer can create the content for your web page that will flow beautifully, and be eloquent, however no one may ever see that page. Why? If your content was produced without any knowledge of search engine behavior, then it was not designed to be search engine optimized. Simply putting up a great looking website, with compelling content won't get the exposure your company is looking for. Without content that is geared toward a search engine, your website will be hidden deep in a results page that never is viewed. Content is not just a keyword As search engines continue to change, your website content also has to evolve into a language that search engines can easily understand. Search engines indexes are continually being updated and are thus very fluid in their ranking of web pages. Some search engines run algorithms on a web crawler to continually look for new websites and new content. Crawler-based search engines use software agents that visit a Web site, read the information, read the website's meta tags and follow all the links. All this information is stored and indexed. When a person initiates a search for a product, the search engine tries to match up the search words with the indexed data it has stored and find the most relevant results and orders them by best first. The Search engines use different methods to rank the results, such as hierarchically ordered keywords or an "inverted index". With properly designed website content, the search engines will find your website, understand what products you sell or services you provide, and match those up with user queries, thereby displaying your website in the search results. The position or ranking of your website is determined by a number of different factors. One of the factors is the frequency of keywords and where on the website the keywords are located. However, search engines are smart enough to recognize when you are simply using a keyword over and over and over again in order to get a better ranking. The search engine will actually discount many of the matches, driving your page further down in the ranking. This is why it is so important to use a company who is familiar with the current search engine techniques and processes. Haboneh has a highly experienced and extremely skilled staff that is constantly monitoring search engine trends in order to provide website content services that will get your website noticed and ranked high on search engine results.

1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 tsp basil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp Amephos
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
EDIT:: I did add a large cap of Maple extract, wanted to be exact!
I am not sure how the Amephos will work with stix, holding the moisture instead of allowing the to dry out. I am hoping I am on to something good though. But we will see. AND in sheep casings too!
Thanks to Woodcutter, his recipe I believe. I was truely impressed. AND the Amephos made all the difference, so much better than store bought.
boykjo's summer sausage salami recipe
Keeping track of this
SMF had a request from a member for a thread for favorite sausage recipe's so I started one here in the sausage sticky forum. It hasn't been very active and I would like to see more participation. If you are looking for tips, tricks and recipes look in the sausage sticky. You'll find some good information there...........
Beef and bean burrito sausage or snack sticks
2 pounds chucky beef ground with 3/16 plate
1 pound refried beans
.25 pounds Spanish rice cooked
6 Tbs potato starch
4 Tbs NFDM
4 oz hi temp cheddar
4 tsp salt
2 tsp course ground black pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 white onion chopped fairly fine
4 tsp homemade chili powder (store bought will work)
1/2 - 1 tsp cumin (optional)
2 tsp Mexican oregano
10 grams gelatin powder
1 cup water or beer
Mix all dry ingredients into water or beer, then let sit while you mix the meat.
Mix meat, beans, and rice together well, then add liquid and mix until nice and tacky.
Stuff into hog casings or collagen. I used collagen since some family members are wiggy about gut. If they only knew how collagen was made...
I cook, no smoke, at 170 and go until I reach an IT of 155.
Thought I would share a snack stick recipe I use and like very much. I just mixed up a batch last night (sorry no pics of the mixing process) and will be smoking them tonight. I will take pics as I go and post them later tonight or tomorrow. This recipe has very little heat because my wife and kids balk when I juice it up but I typically do (2) 5lb batches - one hot, one not. To make this hot just add 1 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper, 1 tsp white pepper, and a tablespoon of Crushed Red Pepper.
5 lbs Beef Chuck
2 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Cure #1 (level tsp)
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground celery seed
1/2 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp liquid smoke (i'm sure I will take crap for listing this but, eh, it works and I use a really good locally made liquid smoke)
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tbsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp corn syrup
1 cup non-fat dry milk
1 cup ice cold water
Mix all ingredients, cover and chill in refrigerator overnight to allow mixture to cure. Stuff into 19mm or 21mm collagen casing or natural sheep casings. Hang in a pre-heated 120-130 degree smoker for one hour to allow the casings to dry out. At this point I do things slightly different than most people in that I kill almost all of my heat (very low flame via gas smoker control all the way on low and an external needle valve on my propane tank to limit it even further) and I put my AMNPS in the mailbox to provide smoke and very little heat. I allow the beef sticks to come to an internal temperature of 130-140 degrees and at that point pull them out and place them in a non boiling water bath until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. I pull them out of the water bath and immediately throw them into my sink filled with ice water to stop the cooking process (the temperature will rise slightly but not much more than 160*). I then hang them and allow them to bloom for a few hours. Stay Tuned...
Ah, this will get going. I have only made woodcutters ham sticks. Usually use bought seasonings.
Here are some pics. Not too many but enough to get you salivating.
I hope this is ok to post another member's recipe because @Couger78 's Hot Links recipe is amazing. My friends and family raved about them and I absolutely love them:
Bride said these were really good...

Minster FM News
Oil Trader Jailed at York Crown Court for Fraud
8:50am 18th March 2013
A man has been sentenced to 32 months' imprisonment at York Crown Court for fraudulently running a $15m business.
James David Rintoul, 55, from Brough in Humberside, but previously from Wykeham near Scarborough, was arrested in September 2011 on suspicion of fraud after the oil trading business he was running collapsed, say North Yorkshire Police. Officers say he pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading and money laundering.
North Yorkshire Police say Rintoul operated an investment fund called Fuel Pulse Ltd from his then home address in Wykeham, North Yorkshire. They add that he attracted investors from friends and associates in the trading world.
Officers say that the minimum stake was $100,000 and the funds would be used to buy and sell oil on the American oil markets. They add that Rintoul used a mathematical model to predict the trading on the oil markets based in the USA and the fund was successful for the first two months.
In October 2008 the fund started to lose money, but rather than inform the investors, Rintoul told them that fund was making incredible returns and this was evidenced in statements produced by Rintoul which bore no resemblance to the actual trading figures, say North Yorkshire Police. They add that this attracted further investors and in total £1.3 million GBP was invested by friends and associates of Rintoul.
Police say the fund continued to lose money but Rintoul kept telling the investors that their money was safe and at one point he claimed the fund was working at $15.8 million USD, in August 2011 the fund had less than $4,000 left.
North Yorkshire Police say that Rintoul approached two city investment bodies with the fictitious figures in order to raise capital up to $50 million to boost the fund but both attempts failed at the due diligence stage as Rintoul failed to show the actual trading losses and instead used the fabricated statements produced on his home computer.
They add that based on the false trading figures Rintoul produced through Fuel Pulse Ltd, he withdrew over £250,000 GBP in management fees for his own personal gain. These fees bore no actual resemblance to the trading results and he would never have been entitled to these returns, say officers.
Rintoul was previously a very successful oil trader having worked for large multi-national companies in London, say officers who add that he used his reputation and his contacts to set up the fund.
North Yorkshire Police add that due to the fact that he used friends who trusted him and then fabricated returns showing massive profits, as well sending the investors expensive Christmas hampers, he managed to continue to attract investment.
Inspector Garry Ridler, who led the North Yorkshire Police investigation, said: "Rintoul played with the investors' money for his own gratification and his trading was described as chaotic. At the time of the collapse of the fund, the Fuel Pulse statements were showing nearly $3 million in the account when in reality he had lost the lot.
"Rintoul used his friendship with the investors to fund his own lifestyle and conduct this Ponzi-style fraud. This breach of trust and damage to the investors' reputation, along with the loss of personal money, was what made this such a cruel fraud."

I've had a couple of customers in the last 6 months migrate their Terminal Server License Server (TSLS) from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 and they have all been extremely nervous about it. I can completely understand why - TSLS stop working and 10s/100s/1000s of users stop being able to connect to the Citrix farm definitely does not a good day maketh! I also appreciate that TS License server 'stuff' always seemed quite arcane and poorly documented. Is the answer to everything to call the Microsoft Clearinghouse?. I spent a year supporting this technology 5-6 years ago so I do understand how confusing it is.
Anyway, here is a collection of stuff that has helped my customers successfully make these migrations go seamlessly:
Move TS Licensing to a New Server
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Team Blog : Migrating a Windows Server 2003 TS License Server
There always a request of "how do I know the new TSLS is working?" and, of course, me saying "well, get a client that has never connected before (i.e. no cached TS license) to try and connect and that will prove it" just never seems to inspire confidence... so... if you are using 'per user CALs' here's a neat script that will dump some info to show that smoke & mirrors is actually working:
Generate Per User CAL Report
Note: when using a Windows Server 2003 TSLS, you can run the tsctst.exe command to verify that a license has been received when using 'per device CALs'. This no longer works when the TSLS is running Windows Server 2008/R2 (you'll get an error message 'the client does not have a license').

Last year, the creators of MLB The Show went all in on making sure you could finish a game of The Show in a reasonable amount of time. The results since then have been a streamlined experience with the ability to play through games at a pretty fast pace.
The folks at Major League Baseball are similarly concerned with the pace of play, as games this year are taking about four minutes longer on average than they were last year.
The pace of play in baseball is something which is always an interesting debate. Pitch clocks have been instituted in the minor leagues with great results at shortening the game.
Another change the MLB may look at include limiting the amount of mound visits which can be made during the course of a game.
The latter two proposals both could have big impacts on how you play The Show in the future. What do you think? Does baseball need to change the rules to speed up to the pace of play?

Red Hat joins charge to fend off patent madness
A group of US companies including Red Hat, Yahoo, eBay, Electronic Arts, General Motors and HP, have joined together to challenge a recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which threatens to seriously exacerbate problems in the already highly controversial software patent system within the United States.
The group has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking correction of the standard for inducing patent infringement, relating to the case of Global-Tech Appliances, Inc v. SEB S.A. Under the existing ruling, the Court of Appeals held that organisations and individuals can be held liable and prosecuted for infringing patents of which they have no knowledge. It used a standard of "deliberate indifference," which it then equated to negligence.

The wind was in Prada's sails at the start of the 32nd America's Cup in Valencia, Spain. The Prada Group—sponsor of the swift and sleek Luna Rossa boat and crew—hosted the official opening party. The event was attended by a number of VIPs and celebrities including Chloe Sevigny (far right), Ashton Kutcher and his wife Demi Moore (right)—who served as the brand ambassadors for Prada—and all of whom received Prada and Prada Linea Rossa sunglasses courtesy of Luxottica.
Additionally, Luxottica sent 18 of its top U.S. Prada customers
(bottom right) on the trip to Valencia where they attended
many of the Prada and America's Cup events held throughout
the week including parties, guided tours, a trip to the
Prada Linea Rossa team store and the Luna Rossa's pre-race
preparation and activities.
"It was a wonderful treat for all of us at Luxottica to share
with our valued Prada customers the festivities and fun
associated with this prestigious event," notes Pierre Fay,
Luxottica's executive VP. "The Prada Group did an incredible
job of bringing together individuals from around the
world in a venue that truly reflects the excitement and innovation
associated with the brand."

She loves SNOB (no brunch there though), tolerates High Cotton (but didn't cotton up to their brunch menu), enjoys Mustard Seed and Boulevard Diner to give you an idea of her palate adventure level. Hominy Grill is too far away I think. Any suggestions? I, of course, love odd things.

The Mistress Files(6)By: Tiffany Reisz
"Yes, Mistress." Sheridan nodded her nervous little head and The Mistress moved in closer between Sheridan's open thighs.
First, as promised, she started with Sheridan's arms at the wrists and stroked upward to her shoulders with dancing fingertips. Delicate shivers passed through Sheridan's body at the lightness of the touch.
Second, she brought her hands down Sheridan's arms to her wrists, again pressed tight to her sides and crossed over to the girl's trembling stomach. The Mistress laid her hand flat under her rib cage and felt the muscles flutter underneath.
Third she tickled Sheridan's narrow girlish hips with her thumbs, tracing the bones.
"You need to eat more, Little Miss."
"I eat all the time, Mistress. I promise. I just can't gain weight. I'm going to look fourteen forever."
"There are worse fates—working for Kingsley, for starters."
Sheridan gave a little giggle.
"I like him. Is he really that bad?"
"Terrible. It's impossible to get any work done with him around talking French at you and being all suave and seductive. Sometimes I fuck him just to shut him up."
"Poor you, Mistress."
"Tell me about it."
As Sheridan dissolved again into laughter, The Mistress slid her hands upward and covered the girl's breasts with both hands.
Then the laughter stopped.
The Mistress smiled. Just the reaction she wanted.
At first, The Mistress did nothing but let the heat of her hands seep into Sheridan's body through her breasts. Under her palms, she felt Sheridan's nipples harden.
"You have beautiful breasts, Little Miss. Perfectly shaped. Beautiful nipples the color of pink roses."
"I have no breasts. I'm an A-cup." Sheridan sounded genuinely upset with her own body. "I should get implants. My agent says—"
"Fuck your agent. You get implants and you could lose sensitivity. Are fake boobs really worth never feeling this again?" The Mistress punctuated her sentence by gently pinching both of Sheridan's nipples, a move that elicited one of the more erotic gasps ever uttered since the invention of gasping.
"No...I'd hate to lose that," Sheridan confessed.
"Then don't. Your body is perfect. Don't fuck with it. That's my job."
"Yes, Mistress."
"Good girl. Now shut up and lay there. I've got a girl to get off."
A new smile appeared on Sheridan's face in place of the old, nervous smile. This smile was amorous, heated, sexy beyond description and exactly what The Mistress was going for.
For a good ten minutes (a very good ten minutes in The Mistress's estimation) she focused her attentions on Sheridan's breasts, nipples and chest. Men rarely understood the power of focusing attention on one part of the body at a time. A few lucky women could even achieve orgasm from breast stimulation alone. The Mistress doubted Sheridan had that power but she'd need as much foreplay as she could stand if the long-awaited orgasm was to come.
The Mistress moved slowly...tracing circles around Sheridan's breast with a fingertip before spiraling up to her nipple and back down again. Pinches turned to gentle kneading and back again. Soon Sheridan's chest moved in rapid pants and her nipples turned from pale pink to red.
"Are you enjoying this, Little Miss?"
"So much...you really know what you're doing."
"I've got a gift for giving women orgasms. I give myself an orgasm at least once a day."
Sheridan giggled again and her blush deepened. Good. Flushed skin was one of the telltale signs of an aroused woman. But it would take more than just stimulating her body to get Sheridan to orgasm. The Mistress needed to get inside her mind.
"You know, Little Miss, this isn't my only job," The Mistress said as she ran her fingers over Sheridan's collarbone, giving her breasts a moment to recover from all the attention. "I'm also a writer."
"Yes. I write erotica. I love a good sexy story. Reading them, writing them, hearing them."
"Me, too. I learned all about sex from my mother's romance novels. I think that's why when Rex came on to me that first time, I jumped at the chance. I couldn't wait to try out all this stuff I'd been reading about."
"How did the reality of sex compare to the fictional version?"
Sheridan sighed. "It was definitely different. I was in my dad's office for one thing. In the books, they're always in a bed...or maybe a carriage, not bent over an armchair or flat on a desk."
"Never fucked in a carriage. I'll have to put that on my bucket list. Continue."
