Love didn't go by the book for two FBI agents, one of them a specialist in undercover work
Twisted Triangle: A Famous Crime Writer, a Lesbian Love Affair, and the FBI Husband's Violent Revenge. By Caitlin Rother with John Hess. Wiley/Jossey-Bass, 281 pp., $26.95.
By Janice Harayda
You know the old Woody Allen joke about how the great thing about being bisexual is that it doubles your chances of getting a Saturday-night date? This book reminds us that it can also halve your chances of getting out of it alive.
Twisted Triangle grew out of a macabre story about two married FBI agents that got splashy coverage in Vanity Fair and elsewhere in the 1990s. Gene Bennett had taken part in two successful undercover operations before he tried to kill his wife, Margo, in the apparent belief that she had become infatuated with the novelist Patricia Cornwell. His past raises interesting questions touched on in the book: Does undercover work – which requires agents to assume a false identity – foster personality disintegration? Can it lead to disassociative disorder, commonly known as multiple personality disorder, to which Gene's lawyers attributed his violent behavior? Might undercover work attract people predisposed to the condition?
These questions have a relevance that may extend beyond the Bennett case to those involved in covert operations in places like Afghanistan. So you wish Caitlin Rother and John Hess had gotten better material from Margo, whose story they tell.
The essential problem surfaces in the subtitle, A Famous Crime Writer, a Lesbian Love Affair, and the FBI Husband's Violent Revenge. Margo Bennett says repeatedly that she and Cornwell had two intimate "encounters" — or what sounds like a two-night stand — and Cornwell has confirmed it in interviews. On the witness stand, Margo corrected a lawyer who said she'd had "an adulterous lesbian affair" with Patricia Cornwell: "I said I had two encounters with Ms. Cornwell."
So why is Twisted Triangle billed as the story of "a lesbian love affair"? The publisher may have imposed that subtitle on the authors. But Margo comes across as such an unreliable source that the unreliable subtitle, in a sense, represents a book driven by what sound like rationalizations instead of explanations. Margo signed phony documents in a home-relocation scam because, she says, Gene threatened to leave her if she didn't. She lied on the witness stand when he was tried for the fraud because, she says, she was afraid he would hurt their children if she didn't. To explain other unflattering actions, she invokes the Stockholm syndrome and — you guessed it — her "fragile self-esteem." But if Margo lied under oath to protect her children, how do we know she didn't try to protect them again by distorting the facts when she was interviewed for this book?
Rother and Hess confirmed some of what Margo told them through court documents and other sources. But much of this book has a "he said, she said" quality. Margo complains that a 1996 Washington Post story made her seem "very careless, uncaring, and crazy on my own." Twisted Triangle does little to correct that impression and, in some ways, deepens it. In the Post story, Karl Vick expressed the theme of the Bennett case in seven words. Those words also sum up the moral of this book: "Sometimes, homo sapiens behave very, very badly."
Best line: "Louis Freeh, who had just been appointed director [of the FBI], had instituted a zero-tolerance approach and was taking a hard line on disciplinary issues. Some agents described him as Hoover without the compassion."
Worst line: Margo says that after working as an FBI agent for a few years, she learned that her husband had $60,000 in cash that he insisted was a gift from his dead father: "Gene claimed that his father had given him $60,000 in cash, which he'd kept in a suitcase in his mother's attic. He said that his father had told him not to put it in the bank, so Margo figured his father had never reported it to the IRS, and this was his way of protecting Gene, who said he would take the old bills to the bank and exchange them for new ones so that no one would question any transaction or track the income.
"At the time, Margo took Gene at his word."
This passage shows one of the many hard-to-believe rationalizations that Margo Bennett gives for why she accepted her husband's shady behavior.

Best attackers for each defending Pokemon. Select a defender and Poke Assistant will find the best counter attacker. Click "Simulate" to use the Battle Simulator for your chosen Pokemon. Log in to use the "Skip" button and hide Pokemon you don't have.
|Attacco 1
|Attacco 2
Select a defending Pokemon from the dropdown menu and optimal attacking Pokemon are shown in the table below. Select the weather to revise the output to your local conditions. Pokemon are rated best to worst using the "Score". The score factors in both how hard your attacker will hit the defender and how hard they will hit back.
Score = Atk - (GCF * Def)
Both the Atk and Def scores are Hit Point Percentage per Second (HPPpS) figures. E.g. a figure of 10 means that each second, 10% of the Pokemon's life is being depleted. The Atk score describes how many HPPpS the attacking Pokemon is doing to your chosen defender. The Def score is how much the defending Pokemon is doing back to the attacker.
The Glass Cannon Factor (GCF) lets you decide how much you care about the damage you receive. Sliding to the right means you want to minimize the damage you receive while battling. Sliding to the left (all the way to zero) is useful for raiding when you may not care at all if your Pokemon feint, you just want to maximise DPS.
Both of the Atk and Def HPPpS figures are arrived at in a similar fashion:
Atk(HPPpS) = Weighted DPS / Pokemon HP * 100
Pokemon HP = ((Pokemon Stamina) * CP_Scalar(Level)).floor
Weighted DPS = (w * Fast Move DPS) + ( 1-w * Charge Move DPS)
Move DPS = (Floor(0.5 * Base Move Power * Attacker's Atk / Defender's Def * STAB * Type Multiplier * Weather Multiplier) + 1) / Move Duration
The above formulas for Pokemon HP and Move DPS are known to reconcile to the game's actual calculations. The difficulty in estimating Weighted DPS is the 'w' factor that describes how much of your time as a portion is spent casting fast moves vs charge moves.
We have estimated w as:
(1-w) = Charge Move Duration / ((Charge Move Energy Cost / Fast Move EPS) + Charge Move Duration)
The above formula is an approximation since casting a fast move is only 40-75% of your energy source during battle, the rest coming from damage you receive. Currently it is the best approximation of "w" but we suspect a better mathematician could improve it. I have a feeling we'll need some some of derivatives to factor in the energy earned from receiving damage, anyone who solves it is my hero.
Why not just loop through simulated battle? Our Battle Sim does and you can compare and contrast the result of the two approaches easily. This tool is designed to quickly provide users with a set of options for battle. We abstract away from IVs (assuming zero), level (assuming 30) and even the defenders moveset (taking an average) in order to provide a user all the information they need to quickly pick a couple of attackers out of their personal Pokedex. This is in contrast to the fine-tuned analysis a user can use the Battle Sim for, observing breakpoints in move damage or charge move casts in individual battles.
Indeed, looping through simulated battles brings its own issues, factors like user delay, network lag and random attack delays by the defender can decide whether or not a simulation results in the attacker getting a second charge move off or not. The smooth DPS formulas abstract away from that. With a 'w' score of 0.7, effectively every millisecond, you spend 70% of your time doing Fast Move DPS, with 30% of the time spent doing Charge Move DPS. For the purpose of providing a dynamic list of possible attackers, this provides excellent results.
These boxes show the DPS of the associated moves. If the number is in bold it has had STAB applied. The latest formula for calculating DPS can be found on the Move List.
These weather icons will appear when you have selected a weather setting that matches the move's type. Move damage will be boosted by the weather damage bonus (120%)
Moves presented with strikethrough like the move above are legacy moves and are no longer obtainable through TMs/cathing.

While the arctic air, freezing rain and mounds of snow are leaving people all over the United States fed up and trapped in close quarters, there may be a slim glimmer of a silver lining. Researchers have long studied the correlation between weather and crime. Anecdotally, it appears as though there's some truth to the old idea that violence calms during cold weather and spikes when it's warm. 'There is some evidence that hot weather, particularly hot, humid weather is related to upticks in violent crime,' said Jay Corzine, a sociology professor at the University of Central Florida. 'If the weather gets really cold, if anything there is a decrease in street crime, because there aren't as many people in the streets . . . potential offenders don't like to be outside much, either.' Last month, the number of homicides in Chicago were half of what they were a year ago, according to an article in the
. But police in the city, which has seen some of the nation's worst gun violence in the last year, were hesitant to give too much credit to the polar vortex, saying they saw little to link clime to crime. Though research about the correlation between weather and violence has fallen out of popularity, it has long been a subject of curiosity. One researcher in the 1920s suggested that crime dipped on windy days because of an excess of carbon dioxide in the air, according to an article published in
on Sept 10, 1928. 'Murders increase during dry and windy periods, because of the prevailing high electric potentiality of the atmosphere,' the article stated. While that may be true – though we doubt it – it could be something more simple. Cold or adverse weather drives people indoors, while hot weather drives people outdoors, especially when air conditioning isn't available, Corzine said. And for police departments stretched thin by other weather-related emergencies, that would be good news.

Jeremy Hotz - Canadians Perfected The SpaceshipWatch
Jeremy Hotz is One Funny BastardWatch
Jeremy HotzWatch
Sorry no tour dates are currently scheduled for this comedian.
|Lost Bird
|Comedy Central Presents Jeremy Hotz
No books by or about this comedian.
One of the most unique stand-up comics working today, Canadian born Jeremy Hotz has quickly become a proven international success. With stellar performances at the Montreal Comedy Festival: Just For Laughs and his sold out Canadian theater tour "What A Miserable Tour This Is….", as well as performances all over the United States, Europe and Australia, Jeremy continues to grab audiences with his completely original and confused, yet very astute, observational comedy.
Originally from Ottawa, Jeremy began his career performing at local comedy clubs across the country.
In 1997, he performed at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and received a standing ovation after his debut performance at the festival's prestigious television gala. He returned to the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005 (voted Best Performer by the "Globe and Mail"), 2007, 2008 (Chosen as Best in Fest by the "Montreal Gazette") 2011 and 2012 where he was one of the hosts for the Just for Laughs TV series for The Comedy Network. Recognition came quick, as American studios and networks showed interest and Jeremy was offered his first of many major development deals.
Another highlight for Jeremy was his debut appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, followed by five appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jeremy has also appeared on Comedy Central with his own half hour special, and was on MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour. Jeremy filmed a one hour TV special "What A Miserable Show This Is…" for CTV, and his DVD "What a Miserable DVD This Is…" is a hit.
Hotz is a favorite in theaters and stand-up comedy clubs across Canada and the US, including the world famous Laugh Factory and Improv in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Jeremy has also headlined at HBO's prestigious comedy festival in Aspen, Colorado.
Beyond his stand-up comic merits, Jeremy is also a talented actor who will be appearing in the fourth season of HBO Canada's Call Me Fitz, and has appeared in the feature films My Favorite Martian (with Elizabeth Hurley) and Speed 2 (with Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric). He starred in the four-part mini-series Married Life on Comedy Central and was nominated for a Gemini Award for the CBC's "OH CANA-DUH". He was the recipient of a Gemini Award for "Best Performance in a Comedy Show or Series" for his work in the celebrated series "The Newsroom" on the CBC and PBS in America.
Jeremy was also a staff writer and performer on the critically acclaimed "The Jon Stewart Show" (Paramount), and received a Gemini nomination for "Best Writing in Comedy or Variety Show or Series" for his half hour comedy special, "Whatever Happened to Jeremy Hotz?"
In 2008, Jeremy was honored with the Dave Broadfoot, Comic Genius Award at the Canadian Comedy Awards, which is the most prestigious comedy award in the country. Following that year, he was awarded Best Male Stand-Up 2009.
Most recently, after headlining the Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland Comedy Festivals, Hotz was awarded the Jury Prize - Best International Performer at the Sydney Comedy Festival.
Jeremy's Magical Misery tour across Canada in February and March of 2013 was a smashing success.

Why did you come to LACMA today?
Portia: We are here on a field trip for our class for an art project. We need to compare and contrast German art and artists.
Has a piece of art ever made you emotional?
Felisha: There was a piece in [Art of Two Germanys/Cold War Cultures] and it was a bunch of shoes and gloves. It spoke volumes…
Portia: It was kind of like the rice exhibit that they did, where they took a piece of rice for everybody that dies of AIDS and it was piled up. I know it was just grains of rice, but looking at it all, it was shocking.
Where do you want to travel?
Felisha: Africa. I just want see what Africa is like, it looks really beautiful on T.V., but I wanted to go and see what it really is like, besides what is on T.V.
Why did you come to the museum today?
Mary: We had a casting down the street in the SAG building.
Have you been inspired by art?
Monica: The first time I went to Chicago I saw Paul Klee's work; I'd never seen it before and that inspired me to create more. I remember staring at his paintings and thinking they were so beautiful and the story of his disease that he had throughout and how he conquered it. So that made me think work hard at what you have and what you do.

Kardashian and her rapper boyfriend Kanye West were keeping silent in the wake of multiple reports that Kardashian gave birth over the weekend - about a month premature.
But Jenner told E! at the Daytime Emmys on Sunday that Kim is "extremely happy and thrilled for the new baby and she's doing great and she's beautiful."
Kardashian's sister Khloe appeared to have let a rather cryptic cat out of the bag on Twitter.
"I can not even begin 2describe the miracle that is now apart of our family. Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We appreciate all of the love," she tweeted Sunday.
She quickly followed with a second tweet: "More info will come when the time is right! Thank you all for understanding! We love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love right now."
Jenner linked to both tweets on her Twitter account, then wished West a Happy Father's Day.
Asked for comment on the red carpet at the Daytime Emmys, where she was a presenter, Jenner said, "She's in charge," pointing at her publicist who whisked her away from print reporters after doing TV interviews.
The reality TV star's pregnancy was almost as anticipated as the royal pregnancy of Kate Middleton, who is due in mid-July. That's about the time the Kardashian baby had been due.
The 32-year-old has often been photographed since announcing she was pregnant, opting to continue to wear designer clothing. She told The Associated Press in April that she eventually embraced being an expecting mom after getting past "the awkward phases and stages."
The couple had initially kept the baby's gender a secret, but the sex was revealed earlier this month during one of Kardashian's doctor appointments on "Keeping up with the Kardashians."
News of the birth has been swaddled in secrecy. Representatives for West and Kim Kardashian didn't respond to emails and calls from The Associated Press, nor did any representatives for family members, friends and professional associates. And all of the weekend media reports on the birth were attributed to anonymous sources.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, West said he didn't like talking about his family or the arrival of his child.
"Like, this is my baby. This isn't America's baby," he said.
Associated Press writer Beth Harris contributed to this story from Beverly Hills, Calif.

A+E Lifts Suspension of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson
A+E has lifted its suspension of Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty,which was a result of his anti-gay remarks in GQ.
"As a global media content company, A+E Networks' core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect," a statement from the network reads. "We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people's home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principals.
Jesse Jackson: Phil Robertson's comments are "more offensive" than Rosa Parks incident
"That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phil's comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs, and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regret the 'coarse language' he used and the misinterpretation of his core beliefs based only on the article. He also made it clear he would 'never incite or encourage hate.' We at A+E Networks expressed our disappointment with his statements in the article, and reiterate that they are not views we hold."
Duck Dynasty will resume filming later this spring with all members of the Robertson family. The fifth season of the reality show will not be affected by Robertson's minor suspension, since he didn't miss any filming.
Duck Dynasty family: We cannot imagine the show going forward without Phil
In the interview with GQ, Robertson discussed how he views homosexuality as a sin, even comparing it to bestiality. And though he issued a statement saying he didn't mean to disrespect anyone, the Duck Dynasty patriarch has stood by his remarks. Over the weekend, Robertson continued to promote his anti-gay views in a Louisiana Bible study. Robertson has also come under fire for racist comments he's made, including the idea that black Americans were perfectly happy before the civil rights movement.
A+E quickly put Robertson on filming hiatus after the controversy broke and fans began an online petition to bring back the star. One week later and the network has decided to give the fans what they're asking for. In the statement released Friday, A+E explains, "But Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man's views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family... a family that America has come to love. As you might have seen in many episodes, they come together to reflect and pray for unity, tolerance and forgiveness. These are three values that we at A+E Networks also feel strongly about."
The network added that they plan on using this as an opportunity to launch a national public service campaign "promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people, a message that supports our core values as a company, and the values found in Duck Dynasty."
What do you think of A+E's decision?

WASHINGTON – U.S. consumers increased spending modestly in January but cut back on major purchases that signal confidence in the economy. The decline in spending on goods suggests higher tax rates that kicked in on Jan. 1 may have made consumers more cautious.
The Commerce Department said Friday that consumer spending rose 0.2 per cent in January compared with December. The gain was driven by an increase in spending on services, partly reflecting higher heating bills. Spending on durable goods, such as cars and appliances, fell 0.8 per cent. Spending on non-durable goods, such as clothing, was essentially flat.
Income plunged 3.6 per cent in January, the biggest drop since January 1993. But it followed a 2.6 per cent rise in December, which reflected a rush by companies to pay dividends and bonuses before income taxes increased on top earners.
After-tax income fell 4 per cent in January and after having risen 2.7 per cent in December. Part of the January drop reflected higher Social Security taxes.
Americans adjusted to higher taxes by saving less. The savings rate declined to 2.4 per cent of after-tax income in January, down from 6.4 per cent in December and the lowest in five years.
"The sting of higher taxes hit home at the start of the year. This will cool spending in the next few months before consumers adjust to higher rates," predicted Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
In January, Congress and the White House allowed a temporary 2 percentage point cut in Social Security taxes to expire. That means a person earning $50,000 a year will have about $1,000 less to spend in 2013. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less.
Lawmakers and the Obama administration also agreed to let income tax rates rise on top-earning Americans.
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that spending growth in the first three months of this year could slow to just half of the 2.1 per cent rate of increase seen in the October-December quarter. Consumer spending drives nearly 70 per cent of economy activity.
A better job market may help offset some of the pain from the tax increase later this year.
Employers have added an average of 200,000 jobs a month from November through January. That was up from about 150,000 in the previous three months. And a drop in weekly applications for unemployment benefits suggests employers may have stepped up hiring further in February.
Sustained hiring, along with increases in home construction and business investment, could also support growth at a crucial time. The federal government is facing the automatic spending cuts that kick in Friday. If the cuts remain in place for an extended period, they could crimp growth.
The economy is coming off its weakest quarter of growth in nearly two years, according to a government report released Thursday. The Commerce Department estimated that the economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.1 per cent in the October-December quarter, much slower than the 3.1 per cent growth in the July-September quarter.
Still, economists said the weakness in the fourth quarter was caused by temporary factors — deep defence spending cuts and slower restocking by companies. They expect growth will rebound to a rate of around 2 per cent in the current January-March quarter.
They note that residential construction, consumer spending and business investment — core drivers of growth — all improved in the fourth quarter.
Businesses and consumers are also showing greater confidence despite the automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect on Friday. A measure of consumer confidence rebounded in February after a sharp fall the previous month that likely was a result of the tax increase.
Companies, meanwhile, sharply increased orders in January for a category of long-lasting manufactured goods that reflect their investment plans. That suggests they are confident about their business prospects.
The consumer spending report showed that inflation remains subdued. A price gauge tied to consumer purchases showed no increase in January and since January 2012 is up just 1.2 per cent. That's the lowest 12-month increase since October 2009.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Apple shares fell in premarket trading Monday after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company has cut its orders for iPhone 5 components due to weaker-than-expected demand.
The newspaper said that two people it did not identify by name told it that Apple's first quarter orders for iPhone 5 screens have dropped to about half of what the company had previously planned to order.
It said one of the people told the newspaper that the Cupertino, Calif., company has also cut orders for components other than screens. The Journal said it was told Apple notified the suppliers of the order cut last month.
Apple didn't immediately return an email seeking comment before business hours Monday.
The move is a sign that sales of the new iPhone haven't been as strong as previously expected and demand may be waning. It comes as the company has been facing increased competition from Samsung Electronics Co. and other makers of smartphones that run Google Inc.'s Android operating system.
South Korea's Samsung, which sells Android-based models at various price points, has already overtaken the U.S. company as the world's largest smartphone vendor by market share.
Android devices accounted for 75 per cent of smartphone shipments during the three months ending in September, up from 58 per cent at the same time in 2011, according to the research firm IDC. The iPhone's share stood at 15 per cent in September, up from 14 per cent in the previous year.
Google says more than 500 million Android devices have been activated since the software's release four years ago. By comparison, Apple had sold about 271 million iPhones through last September.
Last week, the Journal reported that Apple is trying to decide whether it makes sense to offer a cheaper iPhone as it tries to boost sales in less-affluent countries and reclaim some of its lost market share.
Apple Inc. shares dropped $17.45, or 3.4 per cent, to $502.85 in premarket trading Monday.

Selwyn Celebrated, by Mike Good.
This entertaining and absorbing coffee table book traces the origins of the College in seven chapters from the amazing life of Bishop George Augustus Selwyn himself, Selwyn's eventful early years, and the buildings that did not get built as well as those that did, through to the impact of external and internal landmarks and anniversaries, the changing role of sport in College over the decades, the unique as well as the more typical aspects of Selwyn student life, and the College today.
Thanks to the wealth of personal material held in the Archive from the recent and not so recent past, and the inclusion of anecdotes and reminiscences from alumni and others, this is an original, intimate and richly illustrated story, which will complement the official College history by Brock & Cooper, and tell the tale of a maturing institution through the experiences of those within it.
The book has been researched and written by Mike Good. Mike has lived in Cambridge since his graduation in 1976 and previously worked in the Selwyn College Development & Alumni Relations Office. From 1987 he has compiled and published a computerised index to Pevsner's Buildings of England series.
The book is priced £5.00. A Collectors' Edition priced £100 is half-bound in special materials with marbled end papers and is presented in an attractive slipcase. A donation from each Collectors' Edition sold will go towards the College's Fund for the Future which is providing for the College's next 125 years.

Last Tuesday we officially launched Wanderful Media. When I think back on the week, it was all about spending much-valued quality time with our partners, employees and industry advocates who are supporting our dream to reinvent local discovery shopping and make it a fun and engaging experience.
Our next goal is to make our vision a reality. Our new product launch is scheduled for Q1 2013. To that end, we hosted two focus group sessions last Wednesday. Participants from media companies The McClatchy Company, Bay Area News Group, Mercury News, Digital First, Belo, Hearst, Lee Enterprises, Advance Digital, and CNHI – as well as retailer Cost Plus World Market – joined us to share their perspectives regarding new features, concepts and directions. In addition to appealing to consumers, Wanderful Media products must address specific media and retail partner requirements.
The focus group discussions centered on the following areas:
- The importance of the retailer brand to the consumer. A lot of time was spent here. As we all know, in the end, retailers are in fact the curators of the products we buy.
- The opportunity to take the "carry it with you" mode of a circular to the next level with a mobile device
- The incredible assets that our media partners have to help bring great shopping solutions to local discovery shoppers
- Leveraging the intelligence baked into the circular when appropriate
- The consideration of both the passive and active user – those who are actively seeking discounts and those who are passively browsing products
These sessions provide invaluable insights, and we will continue to gather input as our development efforts progress. We're currently operating our beta product FindnSave ® in over 250 markets, reaching 600 by the end of this year.
Thursday was our 4th Annual Shotguns & Chardonnay Event which – I must admit – I look forward to all year long. And this year's event was as good as it gets. This is a fun event where professionals and amateurs alike get to try their hand at trapshooting…many for the first time. It's great to experience the excitement when a "First Timer" hits their first clay pigeon and proudly shares their "action photo" with the group.
After the excitement out on the shooting range, we moved up the mountain for an exceptional tasting of award-winning Ridge Vineyards wines while surrounded by breathtaking views of the valley below us. It was a very memorable day with over 150 friends and guests taking the time to come out in the 90 degree heat to meet and mingle, and have some fun together.
There are many great photos posted on Facebook where you can experience again (or, for the first time) the fun of the event.
Thanks so much to everyone who came. It meant a lot to everyone involved with the launching of Wanderful Media. For those who couldn't join us, we hope you'll be able to make it next time.
And a special thank you to our friends at Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club and Ridge Vineyards for not only providing perfect venues, food and wine, but great hospitality as well. We'll be back again next year once we get some products out the door.

Mom turns 87 this year, ad meah v'esrim. Her pride and joy revolves around her children, grandchildren, home, and her Hungarian rooted cooking. She was the renowned master balabusta of the neighborhood. When she made a Kiddush, everyone came. Her kugels, kishka, holoptzes, homemade sweet cabbage strudel, rum ball cookies, rum mousse, napoleons, chestnut cakes, oron-golushkas, kokosh, markosh and diosh were devoured in minutes. Her challas stood tall and statuesquely braided.
I still remember how barbaric her scraping walls of the intestines looked, as she prepped them to be stuffed with gelinglach (lung, rice and lots of pepper), and those sweet breads looking like splattered brain matter, before she sautéed them with mushroom and onions, smelling heavenly- later to become one of my personal favorite delicacies. She made Jewish classics like p'tchah and roasts that melted in your mouth, brust-deckle, tzimmes, Hungarian goulash, and chicken paprikash, and homemade pickles, beets and ugorkashalata (cucumber salad). You name it she could make it.
I don't think she ever looked in a recipe book, she measured by eye and taste and what made innate sense to her. She had an uncanny sense for putting together ingredients be it for cooking or baking. Without knowing the chemistry of why she knew how and her tables were overflowing with amazing dishes. And I honestly can't remember a time when something didn't come out right, her consistency was truly remarkable. She used to raise thousands for Hadassah and UJA with her luncheons. I remember being floored when all these fancy clad high falutin American women came pouring into our house for her sit down dinner fund raisers. All cultural barriers disappeared as they sat and enjoyed the never ending multi course meals served on Herendi dishes and those blue or forest floral china with the gold accents that are so popular among the Hungarians. The lively chatter and coming together around delicious food in a homey environment was a fabulous success, each and every time. Her Shabbos and Yom Tov meals were no different. Relatives could call up a few hours before Shabbos to say they were coming, and two hours later between the freezer and adding to fresh dishes already on the stove a feastele was ready.
Mom lost cerebellar function close to twenty five years ago, and though it slowed her down, she found a way to continue cooking. It kept her sane, and proved each day that she was still the balebusta of the house. Nowadays, mom's still at it. She makes the most delicious aromatic chicken soup; you would smell the parsley and dill welcoming the Shabbos malachim into our home every week. The freezer is till filled with plastic containers filled of her golden elixir, in case anybody gets hungry or needs a refuah.
This year she announced that she's giving up baking. So this past Purim, I baked mom's markosh and diosh and brought the loaves down and she prepared plates for her few surviving Hungarian friends and close neighbors. One of the delicacies mom served on Pessachwere her drum cookies. I've made a batch in her honor and lovingly share them with you now. I warn you, they are decadent and outrageous.

Legislators 'encourage' governor to stay in Springfield
A resolution to urge Gov. Rod Blagojevich to stay in Springfield when the legislature is in overtime or special session unanimously passed a House committee Wednesday.
"We're just encouraging him -- we're not requiring him," said Rep. Jack Franks, D-Woodstock, who chairs the House State Government Administration Committee.
Rep. Careen Gordon, D-Coal City, said the state constitution would not allow the legislature to demand that the governor stay in Springfield, although it does require that all statewide-elected officials maintain residences in the capital city.
Blagojevich has come under fire for using state planes to fly back and forth daily from his home in Chicago to Springfield to attend budget negotiations with legislative leaders. The Associated Press has estimated the flights cost taxpayers more than $5,800 a day and that he has spent more than $75,000 traveling to and from the budget talks.
The governor and his staff also have criticized House members for scheduling sessions three days a week since the General Assembly missed its May 31 adjournment deadline. He has said they should work at least five days.
"We have been called out on our 'questionable' -- according to the governor's office -- work habits," Gordon told the committee. "I think a resolution like this, spelled out ever so eloquently to the administration, will let him know that we are always ready to work, have worked longer hours than him, on many, many, many more days than him."
House Resolution 507 reads, in part: "Reaching a consensus on a State budget and any remaining substantive issues requires the legislative leaders and the Governor to be consistently present in Springfield to negotiate on the budget and remaining associated issues."
It goes on to state that the House resolves "that the Governor reside in Springfield ready to negotiate during the General Assembly's scheduled overtime session and any special session days."
Before the resolution passed, 8-0, Franks said he intends to sponsor another resolution to recommend that the state reimburse the governor for only one trip to and from Springfield each week, the same rule that applies to state lawmakers.
"I believe he should either have to pay out of his own personal account or his campaign account, and I certainly think he should get a 1099 (tax form) from the state of Illinois as a personal benefit that he's received," Franks said. Exceptions could be made for state emergencies, he said.
Gordon said all lawmakers would prefer to be at home in the evenings when the General Assembly is in session.
"I don't have that luxury that he does," she said.
Both Franks and Gordon said they had attended meetings in their districts on recent non-session days, and most of the questions their constituents asked were about the governor's travel.
With the committee's action, the resolution now could be called for a vote by the full House. Unlike legislation, resolutions do not require the governor's signature.
Blagojevich's office did not respond to requests for comment.

Legendary journalist Mike Wallace died at the age of 93. In a candid and touching interview, his "60 Minutes" colleague Lesley Stahl shares personal memories with Anderson Cooper.
She recalls his competitive drive and tells the story of losing an interview with Barbara Streisand to Wallace. "I loved him. I totally loved him. I laughed. I laughed after about two weeks," she said.
On the internal arguments between "60 Minutes" creator Don Hewitt and Wallace, Stahl said, "Mostly they were just yelling over the content of the piece, and they cared. It really was a measure of the commitment they both had to getting it right."
Both Cooper and Stahl talked about Wallace's courage to publicly discuss his depression during a time when the illness carried a negative stigma, and few of his stature were open to admitting their struggles. Stahl remarked, "It was part of the man's fearlessness...that was huge in how many people he helped by going public."

Jet Li
Personality Profile
" Every President that went to China, I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the '70s."
Who is Jet Li? He is a Chinese film actor, film producer, martial artist, and wushu champion who starred and co-starred in action films, including Kiss of the Dragon, Unleashed, The Forbidden Kingdom, and The Expendables films with Sylvester Stallone. He was born on Friday April 26th 1963, in Beijing, China.
Jet Li is practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. He is orderly, organized, systematic and controlled, and once committed - he employs decisive and methodical steps to problems solving, without giving up easily.
Jet seeks to establish a solid foundation, and would rather use hard work and long hours to build a business or career than search for "get rich quick" schemes. He has great potential for success, but only after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations he so often encounters. Courageous and a true survivor, he is a builder and the foundation of any enterprise, and his hard work and practical values pay off to provide Jet Li with the rewards he seeks and deserves.
Justice and honesty are sacred to Li, making him reliable and dependable, and quite often - a cornerstone in the community. Also, though not a typical idealist, Jet Li is willing to work for a better world in a realistic way.
Jet Li works well with others, but it is important that he would have his own responsibility and well-defined task, because he performs better when his responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others.
Due to the rare discipline and perseverance that Li possesses, not everyone can keep up with him, and he has to be careful not to be bossy and rude. He can be also rigid in his ideas and get stuck in convention or too quick in judging his fellow man.
Jet Li is loyal to those he loves. He is well suited for marriage and often becomes a responsible loving parent. However, anything that violates his profound sense of order, such as separation or divorce can be a shattering experience for him. More...
More flavors to Jet's personality
Jet Li is a person of thinking and planning.
Having well-developed business mindset, he is good at making effective plans, setting goals and working out the best way to achieve them.
He may also have excellent organisational and administrative skills, but that depends on how often he skips the details in order not to lose sight of the bigger picture.
It is natural for Jet to think before he acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
He also knows how to work effectively and efficiently with others in business, while maintaining self control and discipline, and teaching them to appreciate knowledge as the key ingredient to success.
If Jet is over-organized, he should practice finding his way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray himself.
But if he ignores the details in favor of the bigger picture, others might view Li as undisciplined with details, and not appreciate his great planning skills.
Jet Li has a good memory, is highly intelligent, well balanced and with strong mental abilities. His thinking process is logical, and his problem solving skills are outstanding.
While intellectual, creative and with good judgement, Jet should avoid being impatient with others who are less gifted in the intellect and mental-strength department, or worst yet - looking down on them.
Li is more intellectual than emotional or practical and his quick analytical brain is capable of abstract thinking, so solves problems quickly and easily.
Intellect-driven that he is, it is important for Jet to keep his brain stimulated and to challenge himself mentally throughout his life with ongoing learning and study, however - he might also glitch into mental laziness due to lack of interesting triggers in his career and workplace, or in the people that he surrounds himself with.
Tour Jet's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
Jet Li experiences an urge to clean up his environment and to get rid of things.
March 23rd 2023 is a good day for problem solving, even though the results are more of the long-term type and the actual progress may be hidden from the eye of Jet and the observer on that day.
Someone is supportive of Li behind the scenes.

Veronica's adoptive parents are petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court for custody. The 3-year-old is currently living with her biological father. Jeffrey Toobin gives his perspective on the likelihood of the case going before the court.
Watch Randi Kaye's report for background on the case and to hear from Melanie and Matt Capobianco:
Post by: Ashleigh Banfield
Filed under: Jeffrey Toobin • Supreme Court
CNN gets it wrong again: the Indian Child Welfare Act is far from a little known piece of legislation. I have worked in the field of child welfare for over 30 years. Every petition filed in the State of CT either in Superiosr Court for Juvenile Matters or the Probate Court system requires workers to attest to the native affiliation of the named child. The father may have initially signed his agreement to the adoption, but parents have the right to change their minds until a court terminates their rights and the appeal period has expired. It is unfortunate that a planned transition to her father's care was not done in this case. That being said, Rebecca is where she belongs: with her father.
correction: Veronica is where she belongs, with her father.
Why is that when it concern's Caucasian's, that it must be right to beg for the Supreme Court to Intervene in what it is that THEY WANT, this is a Native American Child, she belong's with her Biological Father, whether anyone agree's or not, what more do they want to take!!!
Heartbreak for all involved, nobody wins. Too bad a co-parenting agreement couldn't be worked out where all the parties, especially the child win. All the legalese can be examined over and over, and kicked up to the Supreme Court but like most cases, only the lawyers will profit. Too bad the parties can't be locked in a room together, with a mediator, NOT litagators and a compromise reached
How would YOU like to be locked in a room together with ME, and a mediator, and be FORCED to come to an agreement regarding the shared custody of YOUR child with someone who has absolutely NO LEGAL RIGHT to that child? Doesn't sound like such a good idea now...does it? This little girl belongs with her father just as much as your children belong with you, not someone else who simply wants her for themselves.
Also why have the C's not been asked the hard questions? Like why the hurry to leave OK? Why not get all the paperwork signed before they left? Why the whole secrecy surronding baby's birth? They filed for adoption in SC 3 DAYS AFTER SHE WAS BORN before both states had even approved the transfer of the baby to SC, why wait 4 mths to notify father and why is it not a TPR and just I wont contest adoption and I waive my 30 days?? WHy did they ignore the mom when according to the SC ruling she told them all he was NA even after the denial came in? Why did they not send their lawyer to the base with a TPR right after she was born? No one not one reporter or Dr Phil or ANderson Cooper has ever asked the C's any of these questions.
It seems to me this whole adoption was done wrong from the beginning and blame can be thrown toward all of the. The child is the only innocent one in those whole bad case. She was deprived of her family for 2 yrs just leave her alone!
These adoptive parents are relentless. I get they bonded with this child but they never stopped to think that they shouldn't have. They were in such a rush to have a child that they never considered the law or the biological father. They dismiss his importance in this little girl's life which is ironic because they themselves would do anything,I'm sure, to have a child of their own naturally. The father is in his legal rights, leave the little one alone. it's sad that these two don't see how selfish they are behaving, which is not what parents do. They have to make the sacrifice for their little girl to have the opportunity to be raised by her BIOLOGICAL father who lovers her.
Begging the question why these two "parents", so ill prepared went ahead and had a baby in the first place. Obviously, she was never a priority to them, or the child wouldn't have ended up being adopted in the first place. To place all the blame on the adoptive parents is totally unfair. I think you need to spread it around to all four parties. Most fathers can hardly wait until their babies are born, they are not "NA". So he developed a conscience, that's great. But he made a huge mistake, and it will affect his child for a long time.
A good resolution would be for the Supreme Court to tell the potential adoptive parents you can't use mob rule to steal someone else's child
This child was never legally adopted she is where she belongs with her father.

Here we go! I want to explain a little about the actual fiber make up of this beautiful fabric and its history before I go on to gush about its lovely features, look and feel. While today's post will answer only some of the really good questions that are in yesterday's comments, as the series continues this week I promise that all your questions will get answered. I'm just trying to keep the posts on topic and organized for easy reference later! Check.
As one smart commenter already responded yesterday, Rayon is both natural and man-made, in other words it is what is considered to be semi-synthetic. It's made from a naturally occurring regenerated cellulose fiber often taken from wood pulp or lignin. As with any creation that mankind tinkers with, the methods by which it has been produced have changed very much since the very first attempt in the mid 1800's when the original intent was to imitate silk. One of those methods resulted in the material be called Viscose Rayon because of its process. While Viscose is considered Rayon, it's characteristics and content require a dry-clean only care whereas the particular Rayon that we are printing on (which is a HWM Rayon (high-wet-modulus, meaning it performs better while wet)) can actually be washed and dried. (I'll discuss care more specifically tomorrow.) This high-tenacity method has only been used since the 1940's and has lessened environmental impacts and also lent the fiber to being capable of mercerization (think jersey knit) where it is more often called "Modal".
Rayon overall has the ability to imitate so many materials such as cotton, linen, silk and wool. We use the term Challis with Rayon because it refers to the soft characteristic of the material, and it's barely brushed surface texture. Rayon by nature has a sheen to it, but this particular weave, is not highly glossy, but has an incredibly soft, touchable, non-slick surface.
Let's talk about the weight and therefore drape of these luscious fabrics. Ever since my clothing line days I have always thought of Rayon Challis as the go-to material for making dresses, skirts and blouses. If we were to compare the fluidity of Rayon to my Voiles, since most of us have become familiar with those, Rayon out-wiggles the Voile by far. Rayon moves like water where Voile moves like air. Rayon is swishier where Voile is floatier. Most of that has to do with the fact that the Rayon is a heavier fabric, so the weight forces a drop and drape to happen. For this reason, Rayon is what I consider a perfect "bottom-weight" material- such as perfect for dresses, skirts, wide legged trousers, etc. Voile on the other hand only really suits a few categories of skirt and dress shapes, but of course several blouse shapes, etc.
Notice the Evening Empire Dress that I made above. Those of you that are familiar with that pattern know that there is a lot of fabric gathered into the empire waistline, however you can see what a drop there is straight to the ground on the model. The material doesn't even think about standing out at all (as the voile does a bit on the pattern's cover). Same goes for ruching, pleating, elastic channels, etc. that you might be able to see in the 2nd photo from the top.
You can also see how naturally the material drapes the body as evidenced by the infinity scarf relaxing across Anna Michelle's back. I made this infinity scarf with three different sections of material all joined by some crochet details in between. I'll show you a closer look of that scarf soon! But that reminds me to mention that I really consider this material to be very multi-seasonal. It is not so lightweight that it wouldn't be suitable as a blouse or dress year round and it really does not retain much heat so that is is very comfortable in warmer seasons. It is not sheer like the Voile is, you really have to hold it up directly to the light to see anything through it. If you were to line it, I would really just go with that standard garment lining material, that is sorta slick and swishy and usually synthetic and machine washable.
I can't wait for you to try these! I think you'll love them. The above is a slideshow of all ten fabrics in the collection. The only scale change that happened in the prints is that the Specimen (raah01) print got smaller by 50% compared to the quilting cotton print.
I hope you enjoyed today's lesson! If this brings up any more questions, just ask away. Tomorrow I will share my washing and drying and pressing experiments with you and we'll start talking about working them into your sewing!
xo, Anna
