Has a modern political party ever shoved a guy center stage so hastily? Has a party ever pushed more of their chips into the pot based on one hand? Has anybody even bothered to point out that Marc Rubio perfectly embodies the white conservative critique of affirmative action hires?
You'll recall me explaining why Rubio would have been a much better VP pick than Paul Ryan, and you'll also recall me writing that he's the current frontrunner for the 2016 nomination, but that's simply my political brain thinking through game theory. Rubio—as everyone is pointing out—is still so far up the ass of supply-side, anti-scientific Republican orthodoxy that he might as well be parroting Rick Santorum or Todd Aiken or Michelle Bachman or any of the other geniuses who've represented the party publically.
TIME gave him a cover story in which biography trumped the fact that he refuses to say if the earth is 4.5 billion years old (hint: it is). His comments on climate change represent the same dangerous, denialist kowtowing to the fossil fuel lobby that has transformed the Republicans into the flat-earthers of our time. His State of the Union rebuttal—meme-able Poland Springs slip-up aside—could have been written by an uninformed conservative member of a high school debate team trying to draw up arguments from half-remembered episodes of "Hannity."
No, government trying to put poor people into homes did not cause the housing meltdown. Yes, we understand how capitalism and markets work, and no, public investment is in no danger of crowding out private investment. No, raising taxes marginally on high-income individuals and families will not have an adverse effect on the economy. Yes, the Republican party's singular obsession is protecting the tax advantages of the wealthy. No, government cannot control the weather, but it will have to figure out a way to start lowering CO2 emissions if you want your grandchildren to read about President Rubio in a history book. Oh, and if 2Pac were alive today, he would be writing songs about what a tool you are.
(The fact that Rubio cited the man's lyrics as the reason he prefers Pac to Biggie was one of those head-scratching moments where I had to wonder if he understood that 2Pac's political lyrics put him to the left of the Black Panther Party.)
The Republicans do not have a "branding" problem. It's that their ideas suck and are not in accordance with reality or logic.
The one area where Rubio has shifted his position—immigration—represents a total capitulation to the Democrats, and it will be interesting to see if he can ride out the inevitable backlash that will follow from the base if and when a bill looks capable of passing.
One last thought: there is a certain amount of beltway gossip floating around about some unspoken reason why Mitt Romney never considered Rubio for the VP spot. Admittedly, this is totally third-hand hearsay, but to be sure, the entire episode was totally baffling since Rubio checked so many boxes. Apparently the young senator might have problematic pieces to his biography that kept him off the ticket. Who knows what could come out in the next four years, but it would have to be bigger than lying about when your parents immigrated.
Whatever the case, Rubio as a politician and a thinker is a total yawn, and barring some kind of radical transformation or events, he's a dud in the making.

When Birds Eye asked me to take part in their Food of Life challenge the first thing I thought of was Fish Fingers, I know I should have been thinking about their fancy new Inspirations collection, which by the way is yummy, but for me Birds Eye will also be the go-to brand for my Fish Fingers, oh and they have to be the 100 percent cod ones as well.
Not content with just sending me over products from their collection, which is huge, my freezer is now stocked with goodies from fish chargrills, which can actually be grilled on the barbecue, chicken grills with a garlic and herb sauce and the most delicious, easy-to-cook rice fusions. They also sent me over a new table-cloth, mats, napkins, candles to set the mood, and even a hilarious Come Dine With Me CD. I even got a new dress and accessories for the occasion, which I promise to share soon.
The hamper also included Tacos, with the suggestion to try them with Fish Fingers, something I had never considered, but for date night, this Bank Holiday my fiancé and I with friends decided to give it a go, as come on they sound amazing.
For me Fish Fingers, whether they are in a sandwich smothered in ketchup, teamed with creamy mash potato and beans, or even with boiled new potatoes, peas and sweetcorn – there is never a bad combination. Maybe it is to do with great memories of having them as a child, the ease in which they cook, I can bake nearly any dessert but for the main dish I really need something I can just throw in the oven, and Fish Fingers are perfect for that.
With the weather being semi-OK this weekend, we had a rare glimpse of sunshine in between the rain that we decided to take our date night to the garden, and I have to be honest Fish Finger Tacos, which I call great 'picnic' meal, where I get to play with my food, is perfect to enjoy outdoors, as it is casual and fun without being a BBQ, which is what we normally have.
So armed with our Tacos, a plate stacked high with Fish Fingers we added everything from cheese, lettuce, cherry tomatoes and even coleslaw. What I have learnt is there are no rules, you can place anything and everything in, as long as it fits. I would totally recommend just Fish Fingers and coleslaw, so good.

A gunman fired a total of 34 shots before he was fatally shot in the head by a police officer, an inquest has heard.
Alistair Bell, 42, had previously wounded an unarmed policeman who had gone to arrest him at his house in Kirkheaton.
Firearms officers were then deployed to his address as Mr Bell continued to fire shots out of windows before being gunned down by an officer as he came down the stairs of the property in the early hours of the next day on December 28, 2010. He was taken to hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Outlining the case to a jury at Bradford Crown Court, West Yorkshire Coroner Neil Cameron told them: "You will have to determine in what circumstances arising out of that incident the deceased came by his death."
He said police went to Mr Bell's home on the evening of December 27 after a complaint made to them by a man who had a "long-running dispute" with him.
Three unarmed officers went to the front door of the property, the court heard.
Mr Cameron said: "Mr Bell was in the house. He opened the door briefly and then shut it again.
"One of the officers opened it and stepped in the house. He saw Alistair Bell inside holding a pistol and pointing at him.
"The officer shouted a warning to his colleagues and the officers ran to take cover.
"Alistair Bell fired a number of shots. One officer (a police constable) was wounded."
Armed officers were then sent and surrounded the house, the coroner continued.
During the night Mr Bell fired a number of shots out of the window and he also made a number of phone calls and sent text messages to family members and friends, as well as a police negotiator.
The inquest heard Mr Bell eventually came downstairs and was shot by an officer who fired three rounds from a carbine.
One hit him in the crown of the head, which penetrated his brain, and another struck him to the left lower chest.
"The precise circumstances in which they were fired, what the officers saw and what Alistair Bell was doing, we shall hear about when the officers give evidence," Mr Cameron said.
He added: "Alistair Bell appeared to have fired a total of 34 shots from a pistol which meant he must have reloaded at least four times.
"Many of those appear to have been fired out of windows through curtains and blinds, or from positions where it was not possible to identify any specific targets."
The only shots fired by the police were the three from the one officer, the jury was told.
Mr Bell was not licensed to own the pistol or a second unused firearm which was later recovered from the house.
The inquest heard a "significant" amount of anabolic steroids was found in Mr Bell's system on toxicological examination - with a small number of the population susceptible to "irrational" or "aggressive" behaviour from heavy use.
Mr Cameron told jurors he had previously ruled that 11 police officers involved in the incident would not be named during the inquest and had received anonymity in the proceedings.
A number of them, including the officer who shot Mr Bell, would give evidence screened from the public gallery and the press.
The inquest is expected to last up to four weeks and continues tomorrow.

Snowy roads made for slippery travel Saturday night.
Flakes started falling in the area in midafternoon, and as night fell, accumulation started to build up on local roads. Many minor accidents were reported across the area as motorists struggled in the slushy, wet snow. Parking bans were enforced in Fitchburg and Worcester, and the Worcester Regional Transit Authority announced it was running snow routes.
In Kelley Square, motorists who usually need to quickly dart out into the notorious series of intersections had trouble going and stopping; a pair of cars at the Gulf gas station didn't even make it out of the parking lot before colliding.
The state Department of Transportation announced around 6:30 that it had 1,984 personnel plowing statewide. The speed limit on the Massachusetts Turnpike was lowered to 40 miles per hour from Springfield to Millbury, and tandem trailer and propane trailer restrictions were put in place from the New York border to Millbury.
In the city, police cars returned to the station to get snow chains installed. Three to seven inches of snow were forecast for the area by the National Weather Service in Taunton.
The weather service forecast cloudy skies Sunday morning through mid-morning. The forecast calls for a gradual clearing, with a high near of 28 degrees. Northwest winds will blow at 14 to 17 miles per hour, with gusts as high as 45 miles per hour.

Let me first state the definitions :
A not-nullhomotopic closed curve / loop $c$ on an orientable surface $X,c:[0,1]\to X$ is called simple closed curve is $c|[0,1)$ is injective and [ $c(0)=c(1) ] ; $ A closed curve / loop $c$ is called primitive if in the fundamental group $\pi_1(X,c(1)),$ the homotopy class $[c]$ can NOT be written as $[c]= [\gamma]^n$ for some closed curve $\gamma$ with $\gamma(0)=\gamma(1)=c(0)=c(1) $ and for some $n\ge 2$.
My question is : rigorously prove that simple closed curves are primitive .
It is visually pretty clear , but I have difficulty proving it. Thanks !

Life in Missouri...
The Sedalia [MO] Democrat by Sarah Daniel, Beth O'Malley and Oliver Wiest
One person was killed, six injured and two reported missing after a string of tornadoes moved through Pettis County Sunday afternoon and evening.
Emergency management storm spotters followed progress of storm systems well into the night Sunday, while hundreds either sought shelter or huddled in dark homes lacking electricity.
I was very sorry, but not terribly surprised to hear on the all-news channels last night that Sedalia, MO had been hit by tornadoes. Dennis and I attended college at Warrensburg, just 30 miles west of Sedalia on Highway 50. As Dennis always says, Sedalia has a bulls-eye drawn on it. That town has been hit repeatedly by severe weather and tornadoes. It must be something about the lay of the land that channels bad weather there.
For example, here's an account of a tornado that hit on May 13, 1980
Sedalia Mayor Allen Hawkins said the twister caused from $40 million to $45 million in damages, mainly affecting factories, warehouses and commercial enterprises that employ a large sector of the city's work force.
At least 15 structures were damaged or destroyed.
Despite the economic damage, city officials took solace in the absence of a single death resulting from the second major twister to strike here in three years.
I think the last sentence of the above quotation refers to the tornado described in the following quote:
MAY 4 1977...The Sedalia Missouri Tornado.... The tornado touched down around 1:45 PM about 9 miles southwest of Sedalia, and went through Sedalia finally lifting 2 miles northeast of town. Approximately 150 homes were destroyed and 300 more damaged. Several schools were damaged and two elementary schools were closed for the remainder of the school year. The path length was 11 miles and the tornado was as wide as 700 yards at times. The storm was rated an F3-PL3-PW4 on the Fujita-Pearson scale.
I personally remember tornadoes and damaging winds hitting in and around Sedalia several times during the State Fair which is held there every summer. One year, we were there and observed that the sky was looking ominous. We decided to get out of there and very shortly after we left, a violent wind wreaked havoc on many of the tents and booths, as well as the fair-goers. Here's a much more disastrous State Fair weather event that happened well before my memory.
1952 – The golden anniversary of the Missouri State Fair was marked with a tragedy when the fairgrounds was hit by a tornado at 1:20 a.m. on August 20. The storm centered on the midway area and a carnival employee was killed. Despite suffering extensive damage to all 60 permanent buildings on the fairgrounds, totaling almost $700,000, the fair was back in operation the following evening.
Photo and another account of this tornado
And in a storm with straight winds on May 21, 1987:
Severe thunderstorms, developing along a sharp cold front crossing the central U.S., produced 60 mph winds and golf ball size hail at Sedalia, MO ...
Another report from May 7, 2003:
Damage was minimal in most areas compared to Sunday's storms, but there were reports of downed trees and power lines. Several buildings also were damaged, including concrete grain bins and a metal shed in Sedalia, Mo.
It just can't be denied that they get plenty of severe weather in Sedalia, MO.

I do not have any PCI-E slots (both used) but I have 2 spare PCI slots. I have been trying to find PCI dual tuner cards preferably that support hardware H.264 decode, however nothing is available any more.
There are plenty of USB single tuners, however I am thinking these will rely heavily on my processor and thats not great if your trying to record 4 channels and possibly watch recordings at the same time.
It seems the old cards have dropped out of the market with no replacements, and not availiable on trademe either
I have seen a suggestion of a network tuner box but this is a little pricey and was only on a Australian site so I have not investigated this option much yet.
Any suggestions at this stage to get 2 extra HD DVB-T tuners at a reasonable price AND are available to NZ buyers would be a real help.

Download Vergil Study Guide
Vergil Summary
(Masterpieces of World Literature, Critical Edition)
It has become fashionable to declare that Vergil is less of an Augustan patriot-poet than generations have believed. Clearly, there is a dark side to the Italian pastoral landscape of the Eclogues, a sense that the struggle against nature is essentially a holding action in the Georgics, and a feeling that Aeneas is capable of acting less than nobly in the Aeneid. None of this, however, detracts from Vergil as an urbane, sophisticated poet, very much a man of his own times and a poet capable of far greater intricacy of thought and poetic figure than even the Greek masters who inspired him. Indeed, Vergil's greatest gift is his ability to echo Homer, Hesiod, and Theocritus (and, among the Roman poets, Quintus Ennius and Titus Lucretius Carus) without in any sense imitating them. Vergil's skill in doing so through settings in which his own Augustan Rome serves as counterpoint is a measure of his greatness.

I was very excited this week because the TWD recipe, chosen by Di of Di's Kitchen Notebook, called for raisins flamed in rum. I figured that there would be some huge fireball in my kitchen, curling and rising and almost singeing the ceiling. As it turns out, the flame was tiny and blue and you couldn't see it unless you were looking straight down into the pan. Still kinda cool, but not nearly as dramatic as I'd imagined ;)
Anyway, the rest of the recipe was pretty straightforward. I thought the cinnamon was a nice addition and gave the chocolate a little something to play against. Even with just eggs to give it a rise, the result was definitely cakier than A. and I would have liked (see this post for A.'s favorite brownie texture... basically goo). It had a delicious flavor and tender texture, but you definitely need to be sitting by a glass of water while eating it — or, as Dorie suggests, eat it with a scoop of ice cream :) Even better!
As for the raisins, I normally don't like 'em in desserts at ALL, but I think they were a welcome addition here. The soaking and flaming in rum gave them moistness and flavor. I think next time I would try using fresh raspberries instead, though, as some of the other TWD'ers suggested.
French Chocolate Brownies
makes 16 brownies
Adapted from Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan
1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup (50 g) raisins, dark or golden
1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons dark rum
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons; 6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into 12 pieces
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (205 g) sugar
Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 300°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, butter the foil, place the pan on a baking sheet, and set aside. (I used buttered parchment paper as a sling instead of foil, and it worked great.)
1. Whisk together the flour, salt and cinnamon.
2. Put the raisins in a small saucepan with the water, bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the water almost evaporates. Add the rum, let it warm for about 30 seconds, turn off the heat, stand back and ignite the rum. Allow the flames to die down, and set the raisins aside until needed.
3. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Slowly and gently melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and add the butter, stirring so that it melts. It's important that the chocolate and butter not get very hot. However, if the butter is not melting, you can put the bowl back over the still-hot water for a minute. If you've got a couple of little bits of unmelted butter, leave them — it's better to have a few bits than to overheat the whole. Set the chocolate aside for the moment.
4. Working with a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until they are thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Lower the mixer speed and pour in the chocolate and butter mixture, mixing only until it is incorporated — you'll have a thick, creamy batter. Add the dry ingredients and mix at low speed for about 30 seconds — the dry ingredients won't be completely incorporated, and that's fine. Finish folding in the dry ingredients by hand with a rubber spatula, then fold in the raisins along with any liquid remaining in the pan.
5. Scrape the batter into the pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is dry and crackled and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (Mine were done at 50 minutes, and I probably could have gone even less, because of my dark pan.) Transfer the pan to a rack and allow the brownies to cool to warm or room temperature (A. had a hard time waiting for them to cool... they smelled great!)
6. Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan, using the foil (parchment) edges as handles, and transfer to a cutting board. With a long-bladed knife, cut the brownies into 16 squares, each roughly 2 inches on a side, taking care not to cut through the foil.
Serving: The brownies are good just warm or at room temperature; they're even fine cold. These are great with a little something on top or alongside — good go-alongs are whipped crème fraiche or whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce or even all three!
Storing: Wrapped well, these can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
--end of recipe--
Please visit the TWD blogroll to see how everyone else fared! I'm super busy this week so I probably won't get around to looking at everyone's blogs until later in the week, but I'm excited to see all of the brownie action!

You'll journey to the ancient place of Mayan pilgrimage known today as Chacchoben, also known as "The Place of Red Corn". At the pier, you'll be greeted by a bilingual guide who will direct you to an air-conditioned bus. Onboard the bus your guide will brief you on the interesting history and unique attributes of this sacred Mayan site. Upon arrival at Chacchoben you'll be surrounded by jungle. Your guide will escort you through the ruins, giving you a complete explanation of the sacred temples and other structures seen there.
See original red paint on the stucco walls of one of the pyramids and the temple where a mural was found showing the astronomical positions of the planet Venus. You'll have time to climb the Gran Basamento taking you above tree level. Here archaeologists found ceremonial offerings dating to around 1000 B.C. Your guide will also explain about the wildlife and medicinal plants that are used by the modern-day descendants of the ancient Mayan people.

Miss West Coast Productions will host the first Miss West Coast and Miss West Coast Teen Regional Pageant on March 30th. Sixty contestants from adult to teen will compete for the crown and a prize package valued over $50,000. The package includes the opportunity to compete for free in Miss California USA, which four of the finalist will be awarded with. Other rewards will bestow from credited sponsors.
Tara Rice, the founder of Miss West Coast states, "My mission is to empower teens and young women to become leaders in their community and state." Her words are a positive notion for all females.
The glamorous red carpet and pageant will be hosted by Steve Nave, who's a top casting director and actor. Nave's co-host is Brittany Wagner, former Miss North Hollywood. There will be an immense amount of successors within the entertainment industry and the Los Angeles community attending the pageant to support the young women and support Breast Cancer Research. Among them; Mckenzie Seagren Miss North Hollywood Teen (Finalist in Miss California Teen USA 2014), celebrity judges, VIP guest including Leo Rossie (actor), Katarina Van Derham (International model and actress), Irene Tsu (actress), Sam Scarbar (actor), Joe Sabatino (actor & producer) and performers Dakota Hood (singer/song writer) from the movie "The Hunger Games", and Antoinette Kristensen (Former Miss Norway and International model/singer) who's album releases March 2014!
Moreover, this event was created by Terra Rice to lead these talented women into success. It lifts their confidence, ambitions within workforce, perfects public and social communication skills, and enables these females to be their own leaders while guiding others needing the support. The pageant is intended to empower women and our community. A purpose of a pageant isn't about the contestants' appearance. Its sole drive is to give females opportunities for success in today's competitive world. The 2014 Miss West Coast, Miss West Coast Teen, and Breast Cancer Fundraising event does just those positive notions.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
Mrs Flume was the co-owner of Honeydukes alongside her husband Ambrosius Flume.
Early life
Mrs Flume was born a witch and possibly attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as her husband did.[1] At some point in her life, Mrs Flume married Ambrosius Flume.[1]
By 1993, the couple lived in a flat above Honeydukes Sweetshop and ran together said shop. In 1993, during one of the weekend trips to Hogsmeade, Mrs Flume asked her husband to get some Jelly Slugs, as the shop was filled with Hogwarts students.[2]
Battle of Hogwarts
It is believed that Mrs Flume participated in the Battle of Hogwarts alongside her husband, and her fellow Hogsmeade residents Aberforth Dumbledore, Madam Rosmerta and Madam Puddifoot.

Welcome to One Stop Kids Party shop, so here at One Stop we sell all the fun kids party supplies like party decorations, party invitations, kids party games, party favours, party bags and so on, but we know there is more to children's birthday parties than the party supplies. The other very important component of a child's birthday party is the kids party food. So we have started to compile a kids party menu if you like with all your traditional as well as modern kids party food recipes. We have tried to include a mixture of both "fun" maybe not so healthy kids party food recipes as well as healthy kids party food recipes. And of course always remember to check with parents as to whether or not any of the children attending your birthday party have allergies. In my personal opinion it is better to 100% stay clear of nuts then check for other possible allergies such as dairy, lactose and gluten intolerances. Ok now for the fun part the recipes.
What you need:
Mini mars bars
Honey Tiny Teddies
Coloured Smarties
Pre-made chocolate icing
To assemble:
Using picture as a guide…
Cut a slit in the mars bar and push tiny teddy into hole.
Attach 4 wheels and steering wheel to the mars bar in the appropriate place.
- 3 Weetbix
- 90gms (1 cup) desiccated coconut
- 100gm (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 150gm (1 cup) self-raising flour
- pinch salt
- 150gm melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 220gm (1 cup) caster sugar
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon gelatine
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 6 drops red food colouring (optional)
- 1 teaspoon strawberry essence (optional)
- Coconut or sprinkles for decorating (optional)
- Preheat oven to 190C. Grease and line a 23cm square tin.
- Crush weetbix into a large bowl. Add coconut, brown sugar, flour, salt, melted butter and vanilla extract and mix well. Press into the base of the tin and bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
- For the topping; place the sugar and cold water into a large bowl and beat for 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer. Add gelatine to hot water and stir briskly with a fork until gelatine has dissolved. Add gelatine mixture to the sugar mixture and beat on high speed for about 8 minutes or until thick.
- Add colouring and essence, if using, and beat until combined.
- Pour marshmallow onto weetbix base, sprinkle with coconut or sprinkles and refrigerate until set. Cut into squares.
Marshmallow Pops
bag of marshmallows (the round ones work best)
icing (I went for the shop bought version, pink colour, just some warming up and ready to go)
colourful sprinkles of all kinds
Now put a few marshmallows on the skewers. Have your icing and sprinkles ready for use.
Little bowl for the icing and a plate for the sprinkles.
Dip each marshmallow in the icing and right after that in the sprinkles.
Repeat until no more marshmallows left…
I put mine in a glass to keep them up and let the icing dry.
Done and really that easy and really that beautiful result and so many possibilities…
Strawberry Pancake Skewers
pancakes and if you live in The Netherlands you can get poffertjesas they are already in the perfect size – otherwise you can make them yourself or get/make pancakes and cut tiny ones with a cookie cutter
Now you slice your strawberries and heat up the poffertjes/ pancakes and assemble both on a stick.
Arrange on a plate and cover slightly with some icing sugar.
Done again and who does not love pancakes with strawberries? Exactly…
Biscuit wands recipe
With this easy biscuit wand recipe, you can have heaps of fun baking with your little fairy. We've made wands in the shapes of stars, hearts and circles but you could cut out biscuit wands in any shape that takes your fancy!
Serving Size:
Makes about 20
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 125g butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 20 icypole sticks
- Assorted sprinkles
Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Place sugar in a large bowl, melt butter and pour over sugar.
Stir well and add remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough out to 8-10mm thick.
Cut out shapes. Use a metal slide/spatula to carefully lift onto prepared trays.
Repeat rolling, cutting and lifting until all dough is used.
Place 5cm apart on trays (I had them too close, see picture) to allow for spreading.
Carefully push an icypole stick into each biscuit.
Bake 15 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven, cool slightly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make a simple icing with 1 cup icing sugar and 1-2 teaspoons water. Spread each wand with icing and decorate with sprinkles.
- Use non-coloured icypole sticks – we got ours from a craft shop. As much as the kids would love coloured sticks, they are probably not terribly nutritionally sound!

Baby sushi
Sushi is loved by children and adults alike – and this baby sushi is just perfect for little hands to hold. Roll fresh sticks of your kids' favourite vegetables inside the nori sheets and you have an easy and healthy kids party snack.
Serving Size:
Special Info:
Egg free, Gluten free, Lactose free, Nut free
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 ½ cups water
- 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6 sheets nori (don't mention it's seaweed!)
- bamboo mat
- carrot sticks
- cucumber sticks
- cooked beef or chicken
- avocado slices
- soy sauce and pickled ginger, to serve
Place rice and water in a saucepan, cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave for 10 minutes covered.
Spread rice into a container and allow to cool, then sprinkle with combined vinegar and sugar. Stir thoroughly.
Use scissors to cut a sheet of nori in half. Place nori shiny side down on the bamboo mat. Place some of the rice on the sheet, press down with wet fingers to a depth of 0.5cm, leaving a 1cm gap at one end. Arrange fillings in a line on top of the rice.
Start rolling up from the end with fillings. Lift the bamboo mat and roll tightly. Wet the strip at the end and push gently to seal the edges. Slice into six or eight pieces using a sharp, wet knife.
Place on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to allow the nori to soften.
Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
- The kids will love helping prepare these sushi rolls. And the baby pieces are a great way to introduce sushi to the little ones. Although my daughter insists she likes the large hand rolls, like in the shops.
- I like to lay the filling on top of the rice, but it might make it easier for the kids if you finely chop the filling and stir it through the rice. This would be a good way to sneak in some fish, prawns and 'unmentionable vegetables'.
- Leftover chicken strips were fantastic in these sushi rolls.

Fruit kebabs with yoghurt dip
Fruit kebabs just say summer to me and you could not have a more healthy snack for the whole family. Here we give them a delicious yoghurt dip for a creamy flavour contrast.
- 1 cup pineapple, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 punnet strawberries
- 1 cup grapes
- 2 oranges, peeled and diced
- 2 x 60g Yoplait Petit Miam fromage frais
Take bamboo skewers and thread the fruit on in your preferred order.
Pour the Petit Miam into a dipping bowl.
Use half an orange to sink the skewers into for display.
- You can use any fruit you have on hand or that is in season.
- Make sure that you take into account the children's age when making these. I like to make tiny kebabs for tiny hands. If I am serving these to children I also cut off the sharp tips with scissors.

Swirly sandwiches
Serving Size:
Makes 20
- 1 loaf white bread, unsliced
- 60g butter, softened
- Green and blue sprinkles
Slice the crusts off the bread and cut the loaf lengthways into four equal slices.
Flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
Spread with butter and cover with sprinkles.
Roll up the bread lengthways; you might need to spread a bit more butter on the end of the roll-up to get the sprinkle-side to stick.
Slice each roll into five shells.
- Make the sandwiches the night before or the morning of the party, place on a serving platter, cover with plastic film and refrigerate until needed.
- I used green and purple 'Twinkles' and a mix of blue and green sprinkles.
- For the adults I made a plain cream cheese version.
- Recipe created by Melissa Hughes for Kidspot. .
Veggie pikelets
Prep Time:
10 mins
Cook Time:
10 mins
- 2 cup self-raising flour – I use 1 cup wholemeal and 1 cup white self-raising flour
- 6 eggs
- 4-5 cups of grated zucchini, and corn
- 1/2 – 1 cup grated cheese of your choice
- salt and pepper, to taste
- milk
Mix all ingredients together, adding milk last until mixture is slightly runny.
Heat a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil and drop a tablespoon of the mixture into the pan, patting into a neat circle.
Cook until golden on each side.
Serve with sauce or a dip such as natural yoghurt flavoured with a small amount of curry.
- These are lovely for breakfast.
- Add one finely sliced, and deseeded birdseye chili and a handful of coriander leaves for an adult version. Top with sour cream.
- Be sure to use a non-stick pan for this as things can get ugly with any other type of frying pan\.
Kids baked beanz party cups
Kids' birthday parties need to be fun but don't think you need to fill them up with sugary, salty foods to have fun! They'll love these tasty little party cups filled with beans, ham, tomato and cheese and best of all, they're no more effort to make than fairy bread!
- 12 mini flour tortillas
- 2 x 400g HEINZ BEANZ in Tomato Sauce
- 100g sliced ham, chopped
- 1 chopped tomato
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shaved using a vegetable peeler or grated
Heat tortillas in a microwave oven for 20 seconds then cut a small incision from the centre of the tortilla to the outer edge to enable you to form a neat circle when pressing into the moulds. Press flour tortillas into 12 x ½ cup capacity greased muffin pans and bake in a preheated oven of 160°C for 7 minutes.
Remove from oven and place 2 tablespoonfuls of HEINZ BEANZ into each tortilla. Return to oven for a further 10 minutes, or until the beans are hot and the tortillas crisp and lightly golden.
Divide ham and tomato between the 12 tortilla cups and finish with a few shavings of cheddar cheese. Serve hot.
- These cups are definitely best served hot – but you can do most of the work before the party begins and then just pop them in the oven when your guests are ready to eat.
- You could try adding some more exotic fillings – but these ones here are guaranteed kid-pleasers!
- This recipe was created by HEINZ BEANZ – fuel for Australian families.
Birthday biscuits for school
Serving Size:
20 – 24
- 1 packet Marie biscuits
- 2 cups icing sugar
- red and blue food colouring
- 1 packet pink and white marshmallows
- sprinkles or coloured sugar crystals
- 1 packet Freddo frogs
Place icing sugar in a bowl, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to make a smooth spreadable paste. Transfer half the icing to another bowl. Colour one bowl with red colouring and one with blue (my daughter helped me with this so we had very strong colours!). Spread half the Marie biscuits with pink icing. Cut marshmallows in half, press the cut side into the sprinkles or sugar crystals and then place sprinkle-side up on a biscuit. You need four marshmallow halves per biscuit.
For the Freddo biscuits, spread the blue icing on the remaining Marie biscuits and top with a frog. Leave for 30 minutes for the icing to set and then store in an air-tight container. These can be prepared the night before you are taking them to school.

Homemade rice puff bars recipe
Rice puff bars are very popular with kids of all ages. Now you can make your own with this easy recipe that includes Rice Bubbles, marshmallows and 100s and 1000s.
Serving Size:
Makes 16 bars
- 6 cups Rice Bubbles
- ½ cup 100s and 1000s
- 1 pkt (250g) marshmallows
- 125g unsalted butter, melted
Grease a 16cm x 26cm slice tray and set aside.
Chop 1 cup marshmallows and combine in a bowl with Rice Bubbles and 100s and 1000s.
Melt remaining marshmallows in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave (on high for 15-20 seconds). Add melted marshmallows and melted butter to the Rice Bubble mixture. Stir well to combine.
Transfer mixture into tray and press down with the back of a metal spoon. Refrigerate until set, then cut into 16 bars. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
- Variations include using Coco Pops for chocolatey twist and drizzling with white or milk chocolate for an extra sugar hit.
- I prefer to keep these bars in the fridge as they are a bit crumbly at room temperature.

Apple cinnamon muffins recipe
These moist apple cinnamon muffins are so easy to make. Bake and store them in the freezer for a quick lunch box solution Or for Kids Party Food
Prep Time:
10 mins
Cook Time:
25 mins
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 cup tinned pie apples, chopped
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12 cup muffin tray and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt and mix.
In a jug, combine the egg, milk, vanilla, oil and pie apples.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until all ingredients are just wet.
Using a 1/3 cup measure, fill each muffin cup and smooth the top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes. Leave to cool in the tray for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to further cool.
- I like to make a double batch of these and wrap them indiviually and freeze. You just pop them into the microwave for a minute to defrost.
- When making muffins you should only mix until the ingredients are just wet. Any more mixing gives you a heavy muffin.
- I have used tinned pie apple for convenience but you may also use 1 cup of freshly grated apple.
- This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, Australia's best recipe finder.

Bentley Pub, 602 Southbridge St., Auburn, officially opened in the former Piccadilly Pub site in July, and the new look and menu apparently have caught on.
General manager Jim Taylor said, "Many of the regulars from the old Pic (Piccadilly) days have returned. Our menu continually changes, but there are some choices that are similar to what was served at the old Piccadilly. We have lowered all the menu prices. In many ways, we have reverted back to when the Pic was in its heyday."
About the property: William C. Martin is owner and operator of Bentley Pub. The founder of the single Piccadilly Pub in Westboro in 1973, Martin and co-owner Jon Klaucke grew the business into a chain of 13 pubs over the next 30 years. In 2008, they sold some assets and leased all Piccadilly pub restaurants to an investment group from Canada.
In February 2012 the group closed the remaining 11 restaurants. Martin and Klaucke reportedly assumed the assets of the restaurants in March.
Taylor has worked with Martin since 1984. He said Martin, who lives in Florida, plans to visit Bentley Pub about once a month. Martin attended the grand opening of the restaurant, which he helped name.
Twenty-eight of the 32 employees at Bentley Pub formerly worked at Piccadilly Pubs in Central Massachusetts, according to Taylor.
Janet Lauziere of Worcester, who was assistant manager at the Piccadilly Pub in Worcester, is assistant manager at Bentley Pub.
Kitchen manager is Tracy Javery of Auburn, "former longtime Piccadilly Pub chef."
Enough history, let's get to the menu, parts of it anyway.
Taylor said the menu changes monthly. "Items that don't sell are replaced," he said. The menu reflects seasonal dishes.
Daily specials at Bentley Pub:
Monday: Dinner for Two, $19.99. "Share an appetizer, two entrees and share a dessert." Choose from roast turkey dinner, old-fashioned meatloaf, fish n' chips, fish tacos, chicken pot pie and chicken Caesar salad. (Taylor said Strawberry Shortcake is one of the favorite desserts to share.)
Tuesday: Chicken and Turkey Day. Prices run from $6.49 for a pilgrim turkey burger to $9.49, chicken Parmesan.
Wednesday: Seafood Day. Fish tacos, $7.49; baked shrimp dinner, $9.49; single swordfish kabob, $7.49; baked haddock filet, $9.49; baked sole with seafood stuffing, $9.49.
Thursday: Steak Day. Cheddar burger, $5.49; grilled tenderloin tips, $12.49; steak & blue cheese salad, $9.99; old-fashioned meatloaf, $6.49; French onion roast beef croissant, $6.99.
Friday: Fisherman's Feast, $15.99. Start off with shrimp cocktail and a cup of clam chowder followed by beer-battered fish 'n chips.
Half-price appetizers are available Sundays.
The Open N. Y. Sirloin Steak, $9.99, is just one of the entr�es that Taylor considers a "good deal."
House specials at the bar include vodka and gin martinis and the classic Manhattan, $4.99.
The kitchen at Bentley Pub is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily; the bar area, until closing. Telephone: (508) 407-8880; www.bentleypub.com.
The interior of the restaurant has been brightened up with cosmetic renovations including new lighting and rugs.
Taylor looks forward to greeting customers, old and new.
Let him know what you think of the new digs.
The Greater Worcester Chapter of Hadassah will host a Champagne Reception Oct. 28 to kick off its 2013 WOW calendar.
The event, free to the public, will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at The Willows at Worcester, 101 Barry Road, Worcester.
Barbara Patashnik, Hadassah's fundraiser chairman, said WOW (Women of Worcester) is a project that has successfully been kept under wraps. "We didn't want to make any announcement until the project was completed," said Patashnik.
Women who posed for the calendar will have an opportunity to meet each other for the first time at the reception, she said. "We think everyone will be pleasantly surprised when they see the calendar for the first time."
Patashnik said there are so many fundraisers in and around the city that Hadassah "thought out of the box" when coming up with WOW. "Dream big was our philosophy," she said.
The calendar costs $18 and will be available for sale the day of the reception. Other sale locations will be announced at a later date, according to Patashnik.
Alexia Foods has introduced two new products.
Alexia Multi-Grain Onion Rings and Alexia House-Cut Julienne Fries are available in stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.89 each.
The items can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish with a main course.
The small bites make for easy entertaining.
"The Thrill of the Grill Wine Dinner" is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 24 at Grill on the Hill at Green Hill Golf Course, 1929 Skyline Drive, Worcester.
Wicked Wines will be paired with a three-course meal prepared by the restaurant's chef, Cecile (CeCe) Collier.
Cost: $35 per person, excluding tax and tip. Call (508) 854-1704 to reserve.
The restaurant's general manager Janet Fotiadis said the event will be "wicked awesome."
Don't miss out!
Note: The Grill on the Hill is scheduled to stay open for lunch and dinner until the end of the year.
"We will be open to the public for lunch Monday through Wednesday and lunch and dinner the rest of the week," said Fotiadis. The restaurant is taking reservations for special functions and holiday parties. "Our function room is booking parties year-round," added Fotiadis.

Public ResourcesGuidance from the U.S. Department of Education
Maria Hernandez Ferrier, Ed.D., Director of USDE's office of English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement for Limited English Proficient Students, has provided guidance to states regarding foreign student exchange programs in relation to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
Following are excerpts from Dr. Ferrier's letter:
"Foreign student exchange programs have been very successful at helping our students learn about the language, culture, history, and government of other nations. In addition, the foreign students who come here to attend school learn about America, and bring a better understanding of our nation back to their home countries. I strongly support these programs because they are educationally effective and help foster international understanding."
"Recently, I have learned that some school districts are concerned that requirements of No Child Left Behind might make it more difficult for them to accept foreign exchange students. I want to assure you that the overriding purpose of No Child Left Behind is to provide American students with the best education possible. Consequently, No Child Left Behind does not seek to discourage school districts from participating in a foreign student exchange program. In fact, we believe that foreign exchange programs enrich the education of our students."
"An important goal of No Child Left Behind is to help English language learners who reside in the United States attain English proficiency, develop high levels of academic attainment in English, and meet the same challenging content standards expected of all students. The requirements of No Child Left Behind, however, should not deter a school district from accepting foreign exchange students."
"Assessment results for foreign exchange students who are enrolled in a school in the United States for less than a year, even if they are limited English proficient, are not to be included in the school-level measurement of adequate yearly progress required by No Child Left Behind."
"No Child Left Behind does not prevent or make it more difficult for school districts to participate in foreign student exchange programs. A school district's decision on whether to participate in a foreign student exchange program, therefore, should only be based on the educational value of that program."

Get you higher Angelo, the author of this anthems
Your punch lines are mere jabs, they see through
Like the clear glass on that coupe I steer past
Money on my mind like my pillow is a vault
You niggas is soft so on that pillow's where you talk
Can't find it in them d-list actresses on mattresses
Your real chance to loving you bachelors, I laugh at them
Don't you know that it's money over bitches

JORDAAN, Heila. Semantic processing skills of Grade 1 English language learners in two educational contexts. S. Afr. j. educ. [online]. 2011, vol.31, n.4, pp.518-534. ISSN 2076-3433.
This paper reports on part of the first phase of a longitudinal project investigating the development of academic language in English as the Language of Teaching and Learning (LoLT) by Foundation phase learners in two different educational contexts. In the first context, the learners were all English additional language (EAL) learners taught by EAL teachers. In the second context EAL and English first language (L1) learners were taught by L1 teachers in integrated classes. The three groups of Grade 1 learners were assessed on the semantic subtests of the Diagnostic Evaluation of Language Variation Criterion, Referenced Edition, which evaluate the psycholinguisticprocessing skills underlying lexical acquisition and organization. Vocabulary learning is central to the development of academic language and literacy. There were statistically significant differences between the three groups on all measures. The EAL learners in the first context had significantly lower scores than the EAL and L1 learners in the second context, and the EAL learners in the second context had significantly lower scores than their L1 peers. Pre-school exposure to English and gender did not have significant effects, except on the subtest assessing fast mapping of novel verbs. The results provide information on what can reasonably be expected from EAL learners in Grade 1, suggest language skills that can be addressed to support the learners, and have implications for language in education practices with EAL learners in different educational contexts.
Palabras clave : educational contexts; English Additional Language learners; vocabulary acquisition.

Coronavirus - a World Changer
It feels like a bad dream. A bad dream called, coronavirus. A bad dream that healthcare workers, scientists, and infectious disease experts all predict is going to get worse, before it gets better. We've seen that happen elsewhere in the world. Some people interpret this dream with denial – not a big deal. Other people interpret this dream as the end of the world – the biggest deal ever. Both are extreme views. Both are not helpful. Both are trying to explain this pandemic in way that
What Kind of Person Are You?
While doing some research for Sunday's sermon this week, I found this comparison list for Pride and Humility.[1] I wondered how can I, as a spiritual leader, help people live a more humble life and thereby keep our pride in check? The best way, it seems to me, is by practicing the list of things on the right and not on the left. Will you? As James says in verse 13:3, Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that

I opened a book that has been on my book shelf for years and a piece of paper fell out.

It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth. The boy thought about it and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old man quietly

It seems the world has gone mad. That's what is happening. Never before have we seen such madness and we really don't know what to do about it either. Check out the news, locally or globally, and it's impossible to get away from the madness. It's like seeing a train wreck happening before our eyes and we can't turn away from watching how the carnage will unfold - from politics to school shootings, from sex scandals to sex trafficking, from crooked cops to chemical weapons of war.

A Growing Church is a Dying Church
"A growing church is a dying church." That is the title of an article I read recently. It caused me to pause and ponder. As I read that article I kept thinking – I wish everyone involved in our mission and ministry at FLC would read this and consider its implication for us. So here it is.

Our Mission Matters
Churches will often develop a mission statement to give traction to their mission. A mission statement might change from time to time with the changing times but the mission of the church never changes. Our mission is to be disciples who make more disciples. Our leadership team has been in conversation for quite some time about a mission statement for us here at FLC to give traction to our mission of disciple making.

Traffic Problems
I was sitting in traffic the other day, moving along slowly on Kaliste Saloom Road. We would stop and then go… Stop and then go… Stop and then go… I was traveling from E Broussard Road to Farrel Road on my way to the church building.

text: Portland - Wildlife officials are defending their decision not to intervene before an eaglet featured on a webcam died.Viewers across the country called and emailed wildlife officials asking them to step in when it seemed that the parents had abandoned the pair of baby bald eagles in a coastal Maine nest. One of the eaglets died over the weekend.Erynn Call, state raptor specialist with the Maine department of inland fisheries and wildlife, said it's common for eagles to die before reaching maturity. If one of the two eagles survives, then that would be considered a success, she said.It's also the state's policy not to intervene, she said.On Wednesday, the webcam showed the survivor getting a meal of a bird that was shredded to pieces by an adult eagle. The eaglet squawked loudly as it snapped up the meal.The webcam is operated by the Biodiversity Research Institute, which also defended the decision to let nature takes its course."The general view is not to intervene", said Patrick Keenan, outreach director. "These are wildlife. They're not pets. They're generally better off in their natural surroundings."

Listening, translating, innovating
From her base in Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire, France, Mechatronics Application Engineer Susanne Blokland participated in a project that exemplifies SKF teamwork in action. Pooling their knowledge, Susanne and her colleagues created simulation tools designed to test the performance and robustness of products including the SKF Rotor Positioning Bearing and the SKF Rotor Positioning Sensor-Bearing Unit – a unit featuring integrated electronics that provide information that can be used to control electric motors. The simulation tool helps to ensure design is correct first time.
"Essentially, my role involved capturing the customers 'voice' and translating this into sensor-bearing requirements. It's tremendously satisfying to know that the teamwork and knowledge we applied to this project led to real gains for our customers in terms of efficiency and productivity."

Immediate release: Tuesday 18 March 2014
Yorkshire ambulance staff prepare for four more strikes in patient safety dispute
Four more strikes have been called in the continuing dispute on patient and staff safety issues in the Yorkshire ambulance service, starting later this week.
Members of Unite, the country's largest union, will strike on Friday (21 March), Monday (24 March) and Saturday (29 March) between 15.00 and 20.00 on all three days. There will be a further five hour strike between 03:00 and 08:00 on Monday 31 March.
Unite has cited the continuing refusal of the management at Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust to hold constructive talks over patient and staff safety issues for calling out its 375 members on strike.
The crux of the dispute, which is now more than a year old, is the introduction of elongated shift patterns that could mean staff working ten hours without a meal break. The union has said that it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed as a result of staff exhaustion.
Unite has called for an independent inquiry by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so the Yorkshire public can judge for itself the impact on patient safety of £46 million of cuts over five years that the trust is implementing.
Unite regional officer Terry Cunliffe said: "Our members have shown amazing solidarity over the last year despite the hard line that an obstinate and blinkered management has continued to take.
"Our members don't take strike action lightly – it has been a last resort – but they feel there are important issues at stake here involving patient and staff safety.
"Once again, Unite calls on the trust's chief executive David Whiting and his senior management team to enter into meaningful talks – such discussions could only benefit the people of Yorkshire who should be his first priority."
Unite said that the trust's proposals would impact on patient safety as ambulance staff could go more than 10 hours without a meal break, as such breaks would be at the whim of managers. The union wants a protected meal break of 30 minutes after six hours.
The union has also expressed concern at the continued and increasing use of private ambulance firms to 'plug the gaps' in NHS 999 responses which was particularly noticeable in December and over the Christmas and New Year period.
Unite's Yorkshire ambulance members previously took strike action on 7 and 10 March; 1, 3 14, 17 February 2014; and 2 April and 7 June last year over patient safety concerns.
For further information please contact:
Terry Cunliffe, Unite regional officer: on 07776 202007;
Barrie Brown, Unite national officer for health on 07798 531002

Some like to picking and choose from the Torah, twisting it in a way that goes beyond mere interpretation, creating a religion of convenience. Their "Judaism" of love and compassion is stripped of textual proof and rejects the proofs to the contrary which abound in the Bible. Their religion is no different from Christianity, and often much narrower. To observe such basic ethical rules, one need not be Jewish, or even religious. They will assimilate as scores of Jewish sects have done before.
Many Jews, lured by Reform and Conservative scams, would lose their Jewishness, assimilate, and cease to be Jews. Some would opt for recognizable, solid theology, even if it is associated with the corrupt Orthodox establishment. A resurgence of religion has taken place among many nations; surely it could occur among Jews. Jews have tried the religions of socialism and democracy, the idols of Lenin and Stalin, and the transcendent goal of Zionism. None have worked, and they should return to the proven values, or rather symbols. Few study Judaism, while many accept it as a mascot to gather around and dissolve in the like-minded crowd.
Why be different? Ask ladies who don't want a dress similar to other women's dresses. Fans devoted to brands and football teams may wonder, why be devoted to one's nation? People rigorously train for years in order to win silly prizes; but religion offers a larger prize.
The human goal is not hedonism. If it were so, inserting electrodes in the brain and stimulating the centers of satisfaction would satisfy the human raison d'etre. Why, indeed, go to the trouble of finding visual and emotional events which stimulate the brain, rather than affecting the brain center directly?
If humans were created, it was for a purpose. Why create something that would produce no external benefits? Rather, humans were created for divine service. Our task is living the divinely prescribed way of life, the way of highest moral purity—which incidentally is very comfortable.
Individualism, egoism, and just being a good person are unacceptably little now. When your family starves, you have to feed it. When your nation is endangered, you have to defend it. In nice, peaceful times, being a good man suffices; today, good men fight bad governments.
Isolation from one's community is illegal. People must bear witness to crime, and the Bible obliges them to personally execute the criminals against whom they have testified. People must participate in defensive wars. Today, the Jewish nation is defended not on a battlefield, but in secular schools, assimilationist synagogues, and in violent clashes with the forces of the collaborationist Israeli government.

The La Mission Haut-Brion domaine can trace its origins back to the 16th century. The de Lestonnac family owned the domaine until the death of Olive de Lestonnac in 1664. The property was then bequeathed to the missionary community of the Lazarist monks, an order founded by St Vincent de Paul. It was seized during the French Revolution and sold at auction in 1792, passing through a number of hands until it was bought in 1919 by Frédéric Otto Woltner. This renowned wine merchant introduced ground-breaking processes for the era, such as glass-lined steel fermentation vats. When his descendants sold the property in 1983, it was immediately bought by the Dillon family, who had owned Château Haut-Brion since 1935. The two crus are produced by terroirs with different characteristics and have retained their distinctive personalities. The power of La Mission is often contrasted with the subtlety of Haut-Brion. For more information , visit the official website: www.mission-haut-brion.com
Mission Haut-Brion's wines offer intensity, body and richness. They have exceptional ageing potential, becoming truly magnificent in the 1988 and 1989 vintages in particular. The chapel built in the 18th century by Lazarist monks gives its name to the property's second wine, made from young vines whose grapes are not used in the grand vin until they have produced at least six harvests.

General :The «bio» designation covers certified wines produced by biodynamic or organic methods, sustainably produced wines, and «environmentally friendly» wines that are not officially certified.These designations apply to recent vintages (the date of certification, if known, is specified in the estate description).See the blog article for more information on this designation.
Biodynamic :The «biodynamic» designation is used for all estates certified as using biodynamic methods, as verified by one of the two official bodies, Demeter or Biodyvin. All wines produced by biodynamic methods are also certified as organic. This designation applies to recent vintages.
Organic :The «organic» designation covers all estates certified as using organic methods, as verified by one of the bodies approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, such as Ecocert. This designation applies to recent vintages.
Sustainable :The «sustainable» designation covers all estates certified as using integrated or High Environmental Value (level 3 Environmental Certification) techniques. This designation applies to recent vintages.
Evironmentally friendly :The «environmentally friendly» designation refers to estates practising environmentally friendly wine-growing techniques, but that have not opted for certification or who are still in the process of converting to organic agriculture or biodynamics. These estates may have adopted biodynamic principles (non-certified) or simply no longer use chemical products. This designation applies to recent vintages.
Natural :Wines which are produced without any added sulfur (or almost any) and with no other inputs. However, given that there is no official body to issue the natural wine label, it is based on winemakers' statements.This designation applies to recent vintages.

The American Historical Association is about to hold an electronic vote of its membership on an anti-war resolution considered at the AHA annual meeting last January. The resolution was passed by members at a Business Meeting. This placed it on the agenda of the Council. Then, according to a statement on the AHA website:
"At its January 7, 2007, meeting, the AHA Council accepted the resolution on U. S. Government Practices Inimical to the Values of the Historical Profession, but because the resolution came into the Association too late to be published in the December 2006 issue of Perspectives prior to the business meeting where it was passed, and because of its intrinsic importance, the Council believes its acceptance should be ratified by a majority of those voting in an e-mail ballot of the membership."
The resolution states, in part:
"Resolved, That the American Historical Association urges its members through publication of this resolution in Perspectives and other appropriate outlets:
...To do whatever they can to bring the Iraq war to a speedy conclusion."
The full text is on the Legal History Blog, here, and the AHA website, here. Members can log in to join the discussion, here. Voting begins March 1.
