The Session (also known as Beer Blogging Friday) is a opportunity, once per month, for beer bloggers around the world to pen their different thoughts on a specific topic set by that month's host.
This month is the 77th time The Session has been run, and the topic has been set by Justin of http://justinsbrewreview.blogspot.com.au/ who wants to know why people get in such a froth about IPAs.
India Pale Ale
Being an Englishman, who spent a large portion of his childhood as an expat in Africa and the Middle East, I understand the romance in the IPA story. When you live a long way from your home and family, there is something deeply reassuring about anything which comes from the old country and links you back to what you left behind: It's why Aussies in Britain eat Vegemite, and why Brits in Australia crave Marmite.
The story goes that only the most heavily-hopped pale ales survived the 6 month journey from London to India (incredibly, the voyage often started out by heading southwest to South America before turning southeast to round the Cape of Good Hope on the southern tip of Africa and then northeast again to India!). As only the most heavily-hopped pale ales survived the journey, they gained the name India Pale Ales (or IPAs). Hops are naturally preservative, so extra hops should equal extra preservation. Unfortunately, "India Pale Ale" is a misleading term for a number of reasons – firstly, styles other than hoppy-pales were also sent to quench the thirst of the colonial British (often in equal or greater volumes – Porter was especially popular!). IPA can't really claim the India appellation. Secondly, "pale" is a subjective term – yes, they're paler than porter but they're darker than true pale ales, saisons, weizens… While I'm talking about IPA colour, what is the go with Black IPA? Let's look at that again; BLACK India PALE Ale – so that's pale black is it? Let's just all agree to go with IBA or India Black Ale shall we? And also, the term India Pale Ale wasn't even coined until the 1830s, 50 years after the hop-driven ales were first shipped to the colonies. And it was a term used for beers sold in Britain, not in India itself. Nostalgia was obviously in vogue during the 1830s. Plus, the East India Company traded with many British colonies, not just those on the Indian peninsula.
So, we've decided that both the IPA name and history, have a romance associated with them. And like most romances; there is some degree of rose-tinting but, at the core, there is something truly special.
Modern IPAs are hop-tastic, alcoholic and unctious. They are the poster-child of the craftbeer movement, but they're not for everyone. Some people regard them as severely overrated – a brewed version of the emperor's new clothes. Me? I'm not really a black and white kind of guy. I think there are IPAs and IPAs (or should that be ipas and IPAs?).
My first grownup beer was Bass. It's a memory beer for me, but I only recently found out that it is an IPA. It's hardly hop-driven, and is at the other end of the scale from a modern craft IPA. Speaking of which, I've said before that Mornington Peninsula Brewery's Imperial IPA is one of my Desert Island Beers (for explanation, see BBC's long-standing radio interview programme Desert Island Discs – a different interviewee every week for 71 years – where the interviewee or "castaway" must select 8 pieces of music, 1 book and 1 luxury item).
I'll be honest; I love hops. I love the bitterness, the resin, the floral-characters. I love that Fuggles are different from Galaxy, which are different from Citra or Nelson Sauvin. I love that there are brewers like Ben Kraus at Bridge Road and Mikeller who brew whole series of single-hop IPAs, and I love that they really do taste different. I love modern IPAs – it's the style that I seem to gravitate towards. They're fun, and can be a bit lairy. They're complex and interesting, but approachable. They can be a main event or something to drink while watching "the game".
I love hops, and hop-forward beers. But not to the exclusion of malt and yeast.
I've got so many more adventures to have – why would I miss out on Belgian Dubbels and Tripels, on smoked beers, on peated-beers (props to Yeastie Boys), or on Saisons and Lambics?
I wouldn't!

Diana (Bryan Adams song)
|Single by Bryan Adams
|April 1984
|Jim Vallance

Bryan Adams
|Bryan Adams singles chronology
"Diana" is a song performed by Bryan Adams. Written by Adams and Jim Vallance, the track appears as the B-side to "Heaven" in some countries and is one of the most prominent of Bryan Adams' non-album songs. It was released as single in Portugal.
The song was written in March 1984 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was intended as a light, comedic song about the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer. The song was not included on Adams' Reckless album because Adams was worried about offending the royal couple. Nevertheless, the song was later released as a b-side on the single, "Heaven".[1]
The lyrics of the song admire Diana, a celebrity who the narrator first saw in a magazine, then later on TV. The narrator professes his love for Diana, and indicates that her current husband (never mentioned by name) is not good enough for her. The narrator begs Diana to leave her husband, indicating that she wouldn't have to be part of the "social scene" if she were with him.
Though the song is assumed to be about Diana and Prince Charles, the song never explicitly identifies the characters as such. Furthermore, it is never mentioned what Diana does (other than being a well-known celebrity), nor is Charles mentioned by name or title. A royal connection is made, though, in that Diana is identified by the narrator as "the queen of all my dreams".
Media reaction[edit]
According to co-writer Jim Vallance, when the British press obtained a copy of the record, they "attempted to fabricate a scandal" by saying that Adams had inappropriate feelings for Diana and had insulted Prince Charles.[1]
Live performance[edit]
Adams is said to have had an affair with Diana while dating Cecilie Thomsen[2], but this was ten years after writing the song. Adams often performed the song during his live concerts up until the day of Diana's death after which he retired the song permanently.[3]

" These little framed boxes, like theatrical sets, their cardboard cut-out horizons thrown high by the footlights, their moons hanging like lanterns amid foliage unruffled by winds, present a hermetic realm that feels at once far removed from reality, and yet, at the same time, full of fresh relevance"
Mysterious Wisdom, Rachel Campbell-Johnston
I just finished reading a bio on the English Artist Samuel Palmer (27 January 1805 – 24 May 1881) . It's a great account of his life and struggles, his connection to nature and the ethereal, of England as it entered into the industrial age, and his friendship with William Blake..
I came across his work when a neighbour back at home saw my pen and ink drawings and said they reminded her of Palmer, she also recommended I try etching...so thank you Judith.
I recently visited the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford with my good friend Natalie to view their Samuel Palmer collection. I held in my hands with white gloves on these two paintings amongst others, and I can't tell you enough how moving it was, I almost cried! They are full of life and emotion. I also want to say thank you to the lady who works in the Print Room for her assistance.

And now the gas at 8.4$/mmBTU. The Indian government bites the bullet on gas pricing, so go the headlines in Indian press. What for and to whose advantage? The gullible, ploy-able intelligentsia with unabashed commitment to anything pro establishment has not even bothered to look into the nitty - gritty of the policy pronouncement before singing praises of the action of raising the gas price to nearly double the present day price.This only means that the subsidies to power and fertilizer plants as also to cooking gas sector will have to go up substantially and the public sector companies provide for these subsidies. The end result of this exercise for public sector companies which hold majority of gas reserves of the country is going to be diluted drastically.It is only the private sector companies who are going to hog fully the benefits of this windfall.
The nation was once again fed on the often repeated talk about country's need for energy giving fossil fuels like gas, coal etc to fulfill its huge requirements of power generation to give impetus to its sagging growth rates.What is surprising is that the solutions to increasing production of coal and gas has been diametrically opposed to each other. In case of boosting of coal production and power generation subsequently it was suggested that coal allocations should be done almost free of charge to provide incentives to enhance coal production and produce cheap power for rapid industrialization of the nation. And now for increasing gas production, the decision is to double the cost of gas while the aims are the same i.e. quick additions to gas capacity and providing cheap power for rapid industrialization. Now we are being told that higher cost realizations by the vendors will be value additive to the government exchequer. Could any of these buffoons in Khadi belonging to the ruling polity make the nation wiser as to how a similar action in coal allocation could have been value depletive to the exchequer.
Why such a bright game changing idea was kept on hold for all these years and has been brought in just before the elections. Equally surprising is the fact that this long term measure to boost the investor confidence and alluring multinational companies to make investments into this sector of prime importance with an open and coherent pricing policy is valid only for five years and again has to be reviewed before the next elections.
For what? Your guess is as good as mine. and again what a game changer!!! These wise men with all their theories and thinking expect that exploration to exploitation to value addition will all fructify in a span of five long years both for the investor and the nation and an investor who spends his own money will bite the bullet on their face value.Heard from many of them that they are finding it difficult to convince the investors to flock to India and participate in the Indian growth story. Yes the investor who has to pump in his own hard earned money is not convinced about the sincerity and long term vision and coherence of Indian policies. The Indian polity is capable of sacrificing everything at the altar of vote politics and self.

In Japanese we said? Here is "Moon Over Ruined Castle" derived from a popular legend in Japan with English subtitles. She sang for for the Imperial Family of Japan. We can find this marvel on the Japanese version of "Dream With Me" (credit : Roses for Jackie).
(In the "Bathroom singers" category, you are stronger than me if you exceed the first 5 words!)
(In the "Bathroom singers" category, you are stronger than me if you exceed the first 5 words!)
... And in French! Although having studied any of those foreign languages, only hearing them, she performes now "Imaginer" by Lara Fabian, at a beautiful wedding in Florida. Locate the personal touch about diction. With such conviction, I think she could sing the "phonebook" and still succeed to charm his audience!
(You can read lyrics here http://www.metrolyrics.com/imaginer-lyrics-jackie-evancho.html )
(You can read lyrics here http://www.metrolyrics.com/imaginer-lyrics-jackie-evancho.html )
President Barack Obama invited her personally to the traditional Christmas celebrations and at the National Prayer Breakfast! She will sing outside for the Americans who were present but also for the congress. On YT, you'll find a family video, shot by Lisa, her Mom where Jackie, Jacob, herself and Jackie's Grandfather went to Washington DC for this event.
(You'll notice that Jackie goes away with a larger suitcase than her, but, she's also a girl, charming of course!)
"Nessum Dorma", no doubt you know the version of Luciano Pavarotti? « Ce corps minuscule » this tiny body said Sharon Osbourne will surprise you another time, by the power of the voice coming out. The recording takes place in " Of Britain Got Talent " after AGT.
Back to David Foster for two performances: "Pie Jesu" and "O mio babbino Caro". A peak of sensitivity and candid charm!
Here, two tributes skillfully made by a fan Gevreet45 Vol1 & 2. The character traits are beautifully painted. She is not only singer, actress or model, she's also, simply but beautifully human!
Jackie doesn't hesitate to declare that Lady Gaga, original and great professional is her favorite artist, without forgetting the classics and many others of course. During a TV show, Jackie declares she was sad to learn that her album were now at the first place (before Lady Gaga) to the Top Spot of the moment.
"Songs from the Silver screen": I strongly recommend you the CD and the DVD. This concert was very well filmed. She presents all her songs and performes with Jacob "I see the light" from the film Rapunzel and "Come what may" (Moulin Rouge movie happening in Paris), accompanied by the Canadians Tenors, three sublime voices including the wonderfully Jackie's voice. You have to listen quietly, without any disturbance! Found on the CD music, all come from the cinema, including "Phantom of the Opera" which impressed Jackie at 7 years and strongly gave her desire to sing. Remember that the plot unfolds at the Palais Garnier, our famous Parisian Opera Theater. She will carry three magnificent robes and a black lady-suit. You will be pleased to see her speak with a flowing gesture of passion and generosity. She contains her to not jump of joy on stage. She literally radiates her audience.
We are onstage for the interpretation of SE (if), from the movie Cinema Paradiso", 1988, Italian drama film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. The music was composed by Ennio Morricone and his son Andrea. "Un frisson d'eau sur de la mousse" said Paul Verlaine (French poet).
Online to publicize this creation: TopShotUS. An animation with lyrics in Italian is available here https://vimeo.com/48862197 by Jackie
Junkies, another pillar of support for JME on the Web https://vimeo.com/jackiejunkies .
In her recorded concert "Music of the Movies", "Come What May", mentioned above. We realize the complicity with the Canadian Tenors because she has already sung with them "Silent Night" late 2010 (thanks TopShotUS an unconditional fan and yojan laura for subtitles in Spanish, perhaps will I find in French).

Dr Jim West has undertaken the phenomenal task of writing a commentary on every book of the Bible! And what strikes this reader most forcefully is its faithfulness to what it says on the tin: West's efforts have been expended "for the person in the pew".
In other words, one should not expect the usual exhaustive analysis of syntax, interpretive options, history of scholarship and such like. These commentaries are written so that the reader needs no theological education, and West presupposes no ability to read Greek or Hebrew. Anyone can read and understand these.
The result is like going through the biblical texts, with a scholarly pastor, who pauses to make a number of bite-sized observations on the way. And whatever one thinks of those annotations, anyone can follow and digest them. West writes with a heart for the church, and his unique character and love for scripture are obvious in these pages.

text: The Asian Age: Briton held in Burma, suspected of terrorism 9/5/98 Rangoon, May 8: The Burmese authorities have arrested a British national suspected of terrorist activities and collaborating with student opposition activists, the government-run press said on Friday. A report in the New Light of Myanmar newspaper said officials had detained James Rupert Rusell Mawdsley near the Thai border on April 30 on charges of illegal entry. "Investigations conducted by the ministry of immigration and population revealed that he was a mercenary terrorist," the report said. The report said he was "collaborating" with the Thai-based All Burma Students Democratic Front and ethnic Karen National Union rebels "with the intent to cause disturbances to disrupt stability of the state." Authorities said he had been arrested and expelled from Burma last year for organization anti-government demonstrations in Rangoon and handing out "terrorist" pamphlets, but had returned on foot across the Thai border.

A little snail takes drastic measures to get his mother, father and sister to wake up earlier in the morning.
Just an "ordinary snail" who likes to draw on the sidewalk, create leaf sculptures, play soccer and take piggyback rides, Snippet's definitely an early riser. Unfortunately, his mother, father and sister love "to snooze all morning" and barely stir when Snippet tries knocking, hollering and turning on the shower to wake them and relieve his boredom. Grasshopper suggests jumping on the bed. Cricket suggests chirping. Ant suggests pushing everyone out of bed. Firefly suggests flashing his light. Stinkbug offers to roust them with his stench. Snippet desperately tries it all (almost—he wisely rejects Stinkbug's idea). Nothing works until Snippet finds a creative solution to lure his family to the breakfast table. Amusing illustrations rely on precise ink outlines with watercolor and gouache washes to give Snippet, his family and his insect pals a comic charm. Readers view Snippet from a bug's-eye perspective as he ingeniously works to wake up the sleepyheads. Lighthearted endpapers introduce facts about snails critical to the storyline: They sleep a lot, wake slowly, pull up to 200 times their weight, enjoy piggyback rides and have eyes in different locations.
Early risers will identify with Snippet's dilemma. (Picture book. 2-6)

Odd and Even: Then and Now
Viewpoint: When it comes to public spaces and the rights of citizens, Delhi could take a lesson from Paris
Rajendra Ravi Delhi
About a year ago, in 2015, the Eiffel Tower of Paris had almost become invisible thanks to the growing air pollution that had almost wiped out transparency of air. It was not easy to see or even to point it out from a distance. For the Parisians this was an ominous sight to see. Earlier, there had been similar other sights (or rather non-sights) in Beijing, Delhi and other cities. However, the French had never been so unlucky even in their nightmares of such an accident in their own city. The evil effect had especially percolated to the urban area abutting Paris. The Environment and Health Minister of France thereby cautioned old women/men, expectant mothers, people suffering from breathing troubles and children to guard against this effect of air- pollution . The government insisted on people to prefer sharing bicycles, and opt for electric cars and public transport. The Odd-Even system was extended over the entire city.
This was the third time the Parisians faced such a nightmare. Previously, such a situation had arisen in 1997 and again in 2014. Since then the City Corporation, as an emergency measure, had been insisting upon the odd-even scheme, observance of car-free days and preference for public transport. Despite this, hardly any long-lasting effect was seen on air pollution, traffic jams and road accidents. When the situation repeated itself in the city, Anny Hindalgo, the Mayor of Paris, decided to implement the age-old exercise as an emergency measure; it was publicly opposed by Segolene Royale, the Ecology Minister. She said that there cannot be any escape from problems of transport, air pollution, road-jams and other problems without a detailed plan.
The political struggle and public pressure forced the Mayor of Paris to introduce new and abiding development schemes and also provided fresh opportunities. She immediately started footpath work on the disappeared 'Paris Squares' under the 'Reclaim Public Space' and 'Pedestrian Paris Scheme' for democratic rights on streets
Actually, however, Hindalgo has failed to initiate any 'real transport policy' and has only kept repeating the old hackneyed programme over and over again. It is interesting to note that both Hindalgo and Royale -- both are members of the Socialist Party and are arraigned against each other on this point. The Mayor of Paris alleged that the Ecology Minister was giving the situation a political twist whereas the latter alleges that the mayor was only trying to cover up her failure.
Despite the disputes between these two, the public pressure went up so much that the two had to willy-nilly come together. While today Paris is vigorously active in extricating itself from this immediate problem, it has also stated active action on plans having a long-term effect.
Paris is also known as 'The City of Lights'. It can be seen in the city architecture especially in the heart of the city. For allowing the natural light to seep in unhindered there is a ban on multi-storeyed buildings. However, the Eiffel Tower is an exception. The open public spaces in the city are a constant reminder of the openness of the city and which are remembered as 'Paris Squares'. The green grass, the open air and light is easily accessible to every citizen. With the passage of time, motor vehicles went on occupying public places and 'open public spaces' went on shrinking.
This political struggle and public pressure forced the Mayor of Paris to introduce new and abiding development schemes and also provided fresh opportunities. She immediately started footpath work on the disappeared 'Paris Squares' under the 'Reclaim Public Space' and 'Pedestrian Paris Scheme' for democratic rights on streets. For further development of Paris Squares for public purposes, she made a provision of $34million and also initiated the work immediately. All the seven squares would be developed for walking on foot and for riding bikes and other facilities for leisurely talk would also be there. Their design would be such as to prohibit motor cars. It has been said in the context of the 'Pedestrian Paris Scheme' that this is the time to re-think about the entry of cars in cities and their use and inclusion of quality life to citizens and restoration of their rights on public places. The main support of the new political programmer work is urban mobility and public places. It would bring about 180 degree change in Paris and indeed city life would become more alive and kicking.
The Department of Road and Mobility has been on a continuous campaign for new changes in Paris in public places. The roads on 185 hectares land within the city have been left for cyclists and walkers on foot. Parking of cars would not be allowed there. Redesigning of public places has been going on briskly. As a consequence, automobile traffic has fallen by 25 per cent and ownership of cars has also come down by 37 per cent. The speed of vehicles within the city has been reduced to 20 mph. This scheme is the outcome of the new look of the local bodies; under it the monopoly of motor cars over modern roads has been ended. In its place the daily practice of equal rights for all has been adopted.
While driving on these roads you have a special experience. The administration, through surveys, has been gathering statistics so that there would be continuous improvement and changes could be effected and it would also help in further extending the plan and also get help in extending this scheme. Consequent upon these fundamental improvements, there has been increase in the use of public transport. On account of reduction in the distance and troubles in travel from start to finish, recourse to public transport has become easier. This is the reason why Paris is fast becoming a forward-looking guide for other cities.
The Odd-Even Scheme was implemented in Delhi for the second time. This time the Delhi government gave this slogan: 'Delhi speaks from the heart – Once again Odd-Even'. When this was operative for the first time the people had gladly accepted it and worked vigorously for its implementation. However, this time is has to face challenges from every corner. One reason for this is that emergency measures cannot be implemented again and again or else its importance and the edge of its discipline get blunted. The message the present government so far does not support that the car and the motor is a problem and they desire to liberate the city-dwellers from it. The spokesmen of this government and their entire leadership appear to stand together for the benefit of motor vehicles. During their entire election propaganda they conducted a struggle against BRT and when the government came to power decided to dismantle it and even celebrated the event. There has been a relief under the Odd-Even scheme under different categories and their number is also quite impressive. None of the political leadership of the government presents itself as an ideal but rather appears to be immersed in efforts to show that all such 'reliefs' are correct and are engaged more in showing that they are better vis-à-vis others.
Redesigning of public places has been going on briskly. As a consequence, automobile traffic has fallen by 25 per cent and ownership of cars has also come down by 37 per cent. The speed of vehicles within the city has been reduced to 20 kmph
From the decision and action taken by the Delhi government from time to time, at least in the transport section, there is no such measure which can provide a real reassurance about the future. As against the decisions taken by the government so far, nothing concrete seems to have been done whereas some of its steps are in the interests of car and motor vehicles. The latest example is that there is a plan to have separate lanes for pedestrians, cyclists and rickshawallas. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has inaugurated flyover routes a number of times, but, till today, there is no sign of an alternative model for pedestrians, cyclists and rickshawallas and nobody seems to be interested in pursuing the matter.
Another story is about the two BRT corridors under construction by the Delhi government. The Government had announced that it would be double-storyed of which one would be for cars and the second for rest of the vehicles. The BRT buses will also operate on one floor. Obviously, the dream cannot be realised in the absence of facilities to reach the buses at that level. How can passengers, lacking facilities for reaching buses at the road bus stops, hope to reach the bus stop on the flyovers? Is it indeed a plan for the ordinary people of Delhi or is only for some chosen people?
They have enjoyed car free days, but even that could not reach beyond few hours. The purchase of buses, CCTV cameras in them, bicycle on rent, sharing of cycles, construction of new bus depots -- all these are essential but more urgent is to put a check on the ascending graph of vehicles so that roads could be built for pedestrians, cyclists and rickshawalas to operate and to restore their rights over them. The designing of the roads should look towards the social needs of the collective, and not just needs of a few people. Indeed, there seems to be no vision on the ground.

"The Nurturer."
If good karma could be bottled, Patti would have tons of inventory to sell. Though she never would. Sell it, that is. She would likely give it away in a care package alongside her amazing home made cookies and a note of encouragement, because she really is "that" kind. She will, not, however, be giving away these scholarly, round frames which she loves (unless, of course, you're having a bad day, and really, really want them, and then she'll reconsider).

Society of Saint Vincent de Paul
Aimee Ntumba - 301-525-3909
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic Lay organization, was founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam and a group of young students of the Sorbonne University in Paris. With the mentoring of Blessed Rosalie Rendu, the Society spread throughout Europe and arrived here in the United States in the 1850's. Today we are present in 149 countries throughout the world with our Headquarters located in Paris, France. Members include men and women, young and old, of every race.
Today, Vincentians work out of parishes in groups called Conferences. We gather together to grow spiritually, develop fellowship within our Conferences and, inspired by Gospel values, reach out to those living in poverty by bringing the hope of the Gospel to them by quietly and discreetly aiding individual/families by personal visits to those being served while advocating for social justice and always growing spiritually through the gift of self to others.
We meet the first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 P. M in the basement of the Rectory. We discuss our current cases and evaluate ongoing cases. As new cases arrive, two members, in imitation of Jesus sending forth His disciples, make a home visit to report back to the Conference for reflection and guidance. All meetings begin and end with prayer asking for God's spiritual guidance during which a secret collection is made following the tradition established by our Founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam.
The SVDP is easy to join. The only qualification needed is a desire to join with others to help those in need. If in doubt, read Luke 10:25 – 37.….And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
Gabriel Project
Alice Garvey 301-448-8113
The Gabriel Project is part of a grass-roots, faith-based non-profit support network that provides practical, emotional, and spiritual assistance to women and families facing crisis pregnancies in a spirit of Christian solidarity. Calls for assistance may come from our local headquarters or directly from the parish. The church coordinator then does the initial screening to determine what assistance is needed. Angel friends (parish volunteers) then takeover in assisting the moms/families with whatever may be necessary such as providing transportation to medical appointments, baby care items and mentoring. Provision of the baby care items may be requested of the parishioners. SJN Parish may serve from one to several moms/families per year.
Food Collection for St. Martin's Pantry
Rosemarie Lunn 301-977-6699
Every week, parishioners bring food for the Pantry run by our neighbor parish, St. Martin of Tours. Volunteers then pick up the food from the SJN kitchen Sunday or Monday and take it to St. Martin's. We can always use more volunteers to take the food! Interested? Please contact!
JustHaiti Coffee
Tony Bosnick 301-977-7017 or Ann Jackman 917-714-9196
This Fair Trade program is part of a network of local churches seeking to provide an ongoing outlet for the sale of coffee produced by Haitian farming co-operatives. Your purchase is directly in line with the Church's social teaching on global solidarity with the poor. All profits from the sale of coffee go directly to the growers. The growers are then able to support their families through their own labor. New volunteers are always welcome to join our small sales and awareness team!

Gov. Perry Backs Resolution Affirming Texas Sovereignty Under 10th Amendment - Part 2
"I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state," Gov. Perry said. "That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states' rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union."

Wanted: Web DesignerDear Lazyweb,
I've decided that i need a Hackers on a Bike website and logo for the future. I was thinking of starting off with a simple wordpress blog, but there's obviously alot of potential for what can be done with such a site, and no matter what happens, there's a definite need for some good design. I also need to come up with a logo, and since programming logo is the extent of my graphics skills, all help is appreciated. Anyone interested?

Reggie Bush may be the only Miami Dolphins free agent running back, but he is one worth discussing. In this article I will not be reviewing other team's free agent running backs simply because Miami already has a roster full of young capable backs.
Reggie Bush, RB, Miami Dolphins
6' 203 pounds
New Orleans stats in five seasons:
524 carries for 2,090 yards and 17 touchdowns. 294 receptions for 2142 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Miami Dolphins stats in two seasons:
443 carries for 2,072 yards and 12 touchdowns. 78 receptions for 588 yards and three touchdowns.
At 27 years of age and with a history of getting injured, he may not get the big contract from Miami he is seeking, but can he be blamed for looking for a big payday? He came to Miami with low expectations from the fans and the media. He never rushed for more than 581 yards in a season with the Saints, yet in his first season with The Dolphins he ran for 1,086 yards. In his second season he ran for 986 yards and could have gone over a 1,000 yards, but because of injury his pace was slowed. He added six rushing touchdowns in each of his two seasons with Miami, but his receiving totals were down.
He has not been a trouble maker in Miami. He has attempted to be a leader and set positive goals for himself. Jeff Ireland brought him in the same season he drafted Daniel Thomas, so in my opinion Ireland had plans to utilize Bush heavily. In two different systems under Sparano and Philbin Bush has become the complete back: everyone we thought he would be when he was drafted out of USC in 2006.
What it comes down to between Miami and Bush is simple: money. If the Dolphins are not able to sign Bush Miami has options already in place.
Daniel Thomas, RB, Miami Dolphins
6'1" 233 pounds
Career stats in 2 seasons:
256 rushes for 906 yards and 4 touchdowns. 27 receptions for 228 yards and one touchdown.
If Thomas were a super villain he'd be the Riddler because there are questions all over him.
In two seasons Thomas has played in 25 games because of injuries. In the 2011 draft Ireland traded up in the second round to select him and it wasn't hard to understand why. Thomas' college numbers were 545 rushes for 2850 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2 seasons at Kansas State. But, in the NFL he has not lived up to that. I will not fault him because of injuries, but in 256 rushing attempts he has fumbled five times, losing three of them. He is not the type of back that can make up for those fumbles with his dynamic play. For his size he does not run with force of a 233-pound back either, but he is young and has yet to play in a full season. To his credit his four rushing touchdowns were all in 2012.
Lamar Miller, RB, Miami Dolphins
5'10" 218 pounds
Career stats in one season:
51 rushes for 250 yards and one touchdown.
Was drafted in the fourth round in 2012 out of the University of Miami, and he could have been drafted higher if not for injury concerns. His college numbers in two seasons were 335 rushes for 1918 yards and 15 touchdowns. With a 4.4 speed at only 21 years old he is a steal in the fourth round. Miami's coaches did not appear to be confident in Miller's blocking ability or his grasp of the system, but I think he should have seen more action to get him the necessary real time reps needed. In my opinion he was drafted to be the starting back in Miami.
Marcus Thigpen, RB, Miami Dolphins
5'9" 195 pounds
Career stats in one season:
38 kick returns for 1,040 yards and one touchdown. 26 punt returns for 316 yards and one touchdown.
At 26 years old Thigpen was signed from the CFL after spending three seasons there. He spent 2009 with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and 2010-2011 with the Hamilton Tiger Cats. He was an undrafted free agent in 2009 with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was waived and signed by the Denver Broncos only to be waived before the start of the season. While in Hamilton he was used as a returner and his numbers were impressive: 1,722 combined return yards and four touchdowns in 2010 and in 2011 1,520 combined return yards and one touchdown. He may not have the tools to be an every down back, but his return game can't be denied.
Jonas Gray, RB, Miami Dolphins
5'9" 225 pounds
Stats from senior year at Notre Dame:
114 rushes for 791 yards and 12 touchdowns.
At 22 years of age it will be interesting to see if he makes the 53 man roster going into 2013. He started 2012 on the PUP list from ACL surgery that previous November. He is a big back who showed in his senior year he can score, and given a full offseason and training camp maybe Gray can turn some heads. Although one-cut power backs are a dime a dozen in the NFL.
The only way I can see the Dolphins adding a running back is through the draft or as an undrafted free agent. Bush has done his job, but is it good enough to stay in Miami? Ireland created this situation and it's up to him to fix it.
Let me know what your thoughts are and thank you for your time.

For you guys that have been around since the beginning of the blog you guys may remember that my second rhythmic artist of the month back in September was a man by the name of Noel Gourdin. Turns out Noel is finally getting some love and a push by the label and has himself a brand spanking new video for his song "The River," that I snatched from lovely folks over at Soulbounce. You guys can click here to read my old post on him to see how I feel about this guy, but as far as the video goes, I love...check it out

text: Since I read a lot of fantasy and futuristic stories, I fully expected to love this book. The story is based in a futuristic Baltimore, where Chinese immigrants were brought in to form a new social order and push out the "natives." It is beautifully written with an exceptional use of language (I needed my dictionary more than once). The story is very compelling once it begins to grab you, and I can see that it would translate very well into a movie. However, it took a huge amount of effort on my part to really get into the story. It was slow to start and uses an awkward third person perspective to tell the tale. The author expects the reader to work for the reward of a very unexpected ending. If you are looking for a challenge this one's for you!

Hey, the pickles must've taken you away. Personally, I think Daisy fit right in with the fluffy bottoms. Did you see the look she gave you?ReplyDelete
Pickle away, friend!!!
Ahh Paula, great post. I don't make pickles any more, but I always put onions in every kind I made. You can never have too many onions. LOL Love the little fuzzy bottoms, and Daisy is cute too. Have a great day. WinonaReplyDelete
growing up my mom would make "instant pickles" by slicing up cukes, onions, adding a little bit of sugar, salt and pepper then covering with a mixture of vinegar and water - chill for a bit and then chow down! I don't make pickles anymore - too much else to do and DH is happy with a store bought brand we have available. GREAT chicken hineys!ReplyDelete
The fuzzy butt shots were just too funny. Are those chickens good laying chicken? Once they lay their eggs, can you show us what colors you get? I miss my grandmother's bread and butter pickles. I am trying to teach myself how to can so hopefully I can do all my tomatoes when they go nuts. We have 8 plants and you know they will all come ripe at the very same time like your pickling cucumbers. It will be fun learning.ReplyDelete
I just love the fuzzy chookie butts :0)ReplyDelete
I've got pickles out the kazoo, too, Pam. I always put onions, garlic, celery, fresh dill, sugar and jalapenos in my pickles. My mamaw's recipe and it's our favorite!ReplyDelete
I'll bet yours are wonderful! - I love bread 'n' butters! I think I've already put up 3 dozen quart jars. I'll have to do some pickling of jalapenos, too, or they're going to go to waste!
Cute butts!
I love your fuzzy and wooly butts! LOL I am so burned out with canning, I hope I never have to do it again! I bottled everything you can name for too many years, it was great with our kids grew up but i am not willing to do any more of it for two people! I do love my freezer jam though! :DReplyDelete
Ha! You do have some cute bottoms on your farm!ReplyDelete
Your pickles are so pretty. I think home-canned goodies look so nice in jars! Love the fuzzy butts.ReplyDelete
Oh man, I think we'll be lucky to get anything out of our garden this year. Of course, we wouldn't normally be expecting anything but lettuce and onions for another month or more anyway, but it's SO wet here that nothing is really doing that well. I was hoping to be able to use my completely kid-free weeks in fall to get all sorts of canning done this year (my youngest will be in Gr 1 this year), but the way it looks right now, I'll have nothing to harvest OR preserve!! :(ReplyDelete
I LOVE fuzzy bottoms!!! I even love wooley bottoms!! I can't wait to make pickles. We have a ton of plants but only 1 cucumber has been picked. We all loved it up! Nice to hear from you.ReplyDelete
Yum! Yes, onions in mine. I make squash pickles the same way, just use squash instead of cukes.ReplyDelete
Love the fuzzy bottoms!! Poor Daisy!
Patty H.
I GOT SO DISTRACTED BY THE FUZZY BOTTOMS I ALMOST FORGOT THE PICKLES!!! I make refrigerator bread & butter pickles. We like the zesty ones so I add a piece of hot pepper and mustard seed. I planted dill this year so I am hoping to make dills, if all this rain doesn't drown out the cukes! Green beans are going crazy and we have lots of green tomatoes. Hope they don't get blossom rot. It's always something, isn't it? Gardens are never 100%. Glad I did lots last year, just in case. Wanted to do a dozen or so quarts of mixed veggie soup, too. Sure comes in handy in the winter!ReplyDelete
Give Daisy a pat for me. I think she looks perfect with the other fuzzy bottoms---: )
They are all adorable thanks for sharing your pickles and pets, hugs BarbaraReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 29, 2010 at 9:08 PM
I've never made my own pickles but my long time childhood friend's grandma always made the best. She would send a jar to college with my friend and they would disappear quickly!ReplyDelete
Love your cuties' photos. Hope you are having a good night.
I have just recently been turned onto your blog. I have to tell you I have been waiting (unpatiently) for your newest blog. My children show chickens at the county fair, we also have fuzzy bottoms and some frizzles! I hope you were able to get back to normal after the storm. Our gardens here in WA, are not doing so well, a very wet spring and we are only getting some 65 degree weather. Have a great Fourth of July! HollyReplyDelete
Hey Paula,ReplyDelete
Your pickles look so good!!! I have never tried canning ANYTHING. It seems so intimidating and scary to me.
I LOVE seeing those fuzzy bottoms and I think Daisy fits right in!!! Too CUTE!
Hope you are enjoying your summer.♥
Oh yummers, pickle time!ReplyDelete
I just love your silky bottoms, and yes, Daisy your wooly backside too.
Glad to hear you're back in business after the wind storm.
Hey Paula, stop over and see our new baby.
See you in a bit!
I love ALL your butts! And your pickles look darn good too! :)ReplyDelete
ha ha! Love the fuzzy AND woolly bottoms~ReplyDelete
You have cucumbers already? Our garden is just beginning to show signs of growth. Pickles are the best way to use the cucumbers, aren't they? Bread & butter pickles are scrumptious.
Okay Miz Paula!!Hahaaa... It's been SO flipping Long since I canned Anything and your pickles look Wonderful! And what pretty...chickens???Lolol...They're gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Happy weekend to you sweetie!
Glad to hear you were able to pickle your pickles. We did not have a good crop of pickles this year.ReplyDelete
Hope you have a great 4th of July!
Irma :)
Your fuzzy bottoms made me smile! I know what you mean about taking a break from your blog. I had just tried starting mine up again and already it's been a few weeks since my last post! Glad to see you back. :)ReplyDelete
Paula, your pickles look so good. I like onions in mine too. My mom used to can pickles and I wish I had watched her do it and learned how. It seems so scary to me, lol. I am afraid I would do something wrong and give food poisoning to whoever eats it.ReplyDelete
Love your chicks...my little ones are growing so fast. My rooster has gotten mean though, don't know if he is protecting them or not, but he attacked me the other day.
Oh, those pickles remind me of my mom---she made all kinds of pickles, including mustard pickles. I love the bread and butter and dill the best. My sister still makes pickles, carrying on the tradition. Thanks so much for the the fluffy bottom shots---laughter does a body good, like medicine. Stay cool!ReplyDelete
Wow! You have been one busy gal! I love canning and love seeing your pictures! I just might have to miss canning this year....a long story. But, seeing your pictures sure puts a smile on my face! Thanks a bunch!!ReplyDelete
hi just stopped by to read over your stories and happen to see that you were canning pickles ....i also did 50 jars myself just yesterday .....1/2 dill and the other 1/2 sweet ..... however my project was not interrupted by fuzzy bottoms it was interrupted however by an 88 year old neighborwho does magic tricks !! you have a great day and do stop my blog when you need a dose of TRUTH ......until then enjoy the day p.s. i always wanted to live in the southReplyDelete

Order Form
Before you place an order...please think about the following aspects of your Quilt:
Do you like florals, stripes, plaids, bright colors, pastels, darks, etc? Sometimes it is easier to figure out what you DON'T like. A good description helps us to find just the right colors--green as grass, purple as grape jelly, etc.
A background color may be a good starting point, as the top can coordinate with it.
Do you have a favorite quilt pattern? 9 patch, flying geese, rail fence, friendship star, etc. Look through our samples and see if one interests you.
Quilt Structure
Do you want a thin dense quilt, or a thick fluffy one? Polyester batting is our standard preference. It is warm, washable and lightweight. It comes in low, classic, and high loft. Cotton/polyester blend is warm and washable. It makes the quilt feel heavier. Cotton batting is thin, but warm. It shrinks and wrinkles after washing to give an old-fashioned look.
Do you have a thread preference? We prefer to use cotton or cotton/polyester thread for piecing your quilt. We use cotton/polyester or an invisible nylon thread for quilting and binding, depending on which would look more flattering.
Do you have a finishing preference? Our standard binding is a double-fold binding made of your background fabric. It is applied by machine and either finished with a decorative stitch or hand-stitched.
Time Frame
How fast do you need your quilt? Our average turnaround time is 4-6 weeks. A $30 rush fee will be charged if you need your quilt in less than 4 weeks. Please email us to get an estimate of our workload.
Okay--You are almost ready to order now...
first read our disclaimers...
Wisconsin residents, please add 5% sales tax to any purchase price.

41 years ago this morning, Louis Armstrong passed away....or as David Ostwald likes to say, he "allegedly" passed away. Judging by the popularity of his music and the thousands of people that visit the Louis Armstrong House Museum each year, I'd say that Pops is in no danger of being forgotten.
I believe I've shared this before and I must share it again: here's how NBC News reported Armstrong's death on July 6, 1971, using "New Orleans Function" as the backdrop for a photo montage from Louis's life:
And this is something I've never shared, but it's quite good. After Louis died, Hearst Metrotone did a 12-minute special about Louis's death, hosted by Billy Taylor and including footage of the funeral, including words by Taylor and Fred Robbins and performances by Peggy Lee and Al Hibbler. More importantly, the footage you'll see from the end of Louis doing "Boy From New Orleans" is from the Waldorf Astoria in March 1971, Louis's last engagement! This is deep stuff:
July 6 is always a sad day but just listen to Louis's recorded legacy or watch him in action on YouTube and all will be right with the world. In fact, why don't you start with "West End Blues" again? On June 28, I re-posted an old exhaustive (and exhausting) blog I did on that seminal work but I didn't realize that most of the original links now led to nowhere. (Thanks for all the readers who wrote in to tell me!) I went in and fixed them all so you can now listen from scratch here: 84 Years of West End Blues.
Thanks everyone and thanks, Pops.

Ricky -- I've only this week begun to savor your thoughtful and insightful posts and am looking forward to the status of a regular follower. I was stunned to see your post of the recent passing of that fellow traveler Jos Willems. I got to know Jos well, over ten years ago when he kept me on the right track with the old satchography.com website (anybody remember that?). I was a true neophyte and he kept me on the right track more than twice. He even let me ghost the epilogue for his book, and I was proud that he used it. He was a great guy and his discography is a lasting gift to all of us fans of Louis. - scott

The Washington Times on September 21, 2013, published an AP report on a Kenya al-Qaeda-linked Somali militant group claiming responsibility for the deadly attack on a mall in Kenya.
Excerpts below:
A statement from al-Shabab on its official Twitter feed on September 21 says the attacks are retribution for military action by Kenya inside Somalia. The group said it was now shifting the battlefield to Kenya.
The group said its fighters entered Nairobi's upscale Westgate Mall at around noon on September 21 and were still inside more than nine hours later. Kenyan military special forces had entered the mall in an effort to end the standoff.
Nairobi's mortuary superintendent, Sammy Nyongesa Jacob, says at least 23 bodies killed in the attack were brought in. He said Africans, Asians and Caucasians were among the dead.

Fundraising Concert – 17 June 2016
As part of our efforts to raise funds to keep Radio Glan Clwyd on the air, we held a fundraising concert on Friday 17 June 2016. It took place at the Little Theatre on Vale Road in Rhyl, from 7.30 to 9.30pm. The total amount raised was £366.15 – and the evening was enjoyed by all.
There was a great variety of acts for the audience to enjoy. Performances were given by:
Our very own radio presenter Richard Ablitt, who played a number of pieces on the piano,
The North Wales School of Dance,
Joe -Bateman – an Elvis impersonator,
Vocalist Jessica Griffiths performed numbers from the show 'Wicked',
The Vale of Clwyd choir.
There were refreshments and competitions such as a raffle and tombola too. Committee member Tony Mannix was the compere for the evening; he also performed a few numbers himself.
A big thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the evening, from the performers to the organisers, and of course, the audience who gave up their evening to come and support the event. Here are a few photographs from the event.
Members of local dance and drama groups performed a range of numbers as part of the concert.
Below, Tony Mannix introduces the acts, and the youngsters from the 'North Wales school of Dance' perform their dance routines with real energy!

The new Panama Canal is set to usher in a new era in shipping between South America and Europe. Upon completion, huge vessels of the post-Panamax class – capable of carrying up to 14,000 20-foot standard containers (TEU) – will be able to navigate this trade route. Until now, the upper limit has been just a bit below 5,000 TEU. In light of these changes, already in April 2015, Hapag-Lloyd have ordered five new vessels, which are set to be predominantly employed along South American routes . With a length of 333 meters, a beam of 48 meters and a capacity of 10,500 TEU, the vessels in the new "Valparaiso Express" class are tailor-made for the expanded locks and channels of the canal.
One stand out feature of the new vessels is their very high reefer capacity, as each of them has room for more than 2,100 of these temperature-controlled containers. "We expect reefer exports from South America to increase," says Hapag-Lloyd Chief Operating Officer Anthony J. Firmin in underlining the importance of these special boxes. Products such as bananas, avocados, deep-frozen fish and grapes will fill the reefers on the journey from the west coast of South America to Europe. Going in the other direction will primarily be deep-frozen french fries, onions, potatoes, frozen vegetables and pharmaceutical products.
The finished ships are expected to be delivered between the fall of 2016 and the spring of 2017.

A 51-year-old Longview man has been sentenced to federal prison for child exploitation violations.
Mitchel Duane Porter pleaded guilty on Jan. 11, 2012, to production of child pornography and was sentenced to 180 months in federal prison on June 5, 2012 by U.S. District Judge Leonard E. Davis.
According to information presented in court, on Aug. 26, 2011, a federal search warrant was executed at Porter's residence in Longview. Several computers, cameras, and other forms of digital media and media storage devices were seized during the search. A forensic analysis of the seized items revealed over a thousand images of child pornography with approximately 8 of those photos taken by Porter. Some of the images depicted prepubescent children under the age of 12 years engaged to sexually explicit conduct, and some of the images involved the actual commission of a sexual act. A federal grand jury returned an indictment on Sep. 21, 2011, charging Porter with federal violations.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.

Happy Tasty Thursday!
Keeping with this month's Holiday cooking theme I couldn't resist sharing a dessert recipe I created. Because, what are the Holidays without cookies?!

In 1925 the Scopes trial divided America. Passions rose as some claimed only the Biblical view of creation should be taught in public schools while others decided evolution was the only scientific explanation for how we came to be. Now, 89 years later, we have not reached consensus and there are fault lines on this topic even between Republicans and Democrats.
The December 2013 issue of the Christian Science Monitor featured an article by staff writer Harry Bruinius, "Percentage of Republicans Who Believe in Evolution is Shrinking." He cites a recent PEW research study on the topic. Less than 5 years ago the breakdown between Republicans and Democrats agreeing with the concept of evolution was 54% Republicans and nearly 2/3rds Democrats. Now the number of Republican embracing evolution has shrunk 11 points to 43% (Democrats 67%). According to the PEW report, this drop in Republican acceptance of evolution remained present even after variables such as education, race, and level of religious commitment were eliminated. Among non Hispanic Catholics, 68% embraced evolution along with 53% Hispanic Catholics.
The study broke the data into denominations and, not surprisingly, the white evangelical Protestants were the most skeptical about evolution. In my opinion, since, by strict definition "evangelical" includes the belief that the Bible IS the Word of God, it comes as no surprise that evangelicals would embrace creationism over evolution. Eighty percent of the mainline Protestants (even those with "evangelical" in their names like the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America), who believe the Bible merely CONTAINS the Word of God (which parts?), lean toward evolution.
You can find differences of opinion even within a congregation. Our small Bible study group got into a discussion about evolution when we were merely DISCUSSING studying Genesis 1 for our next meeting. That will be an interesting session.
What do you think?
