Video: Debate over Immigration
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- President Barack Obama says the government will stop deporting undocumented people who came into this country as children.
Illegal Immigrants will avoid deportation and be eligible for work permits if:
- They arrived in the U.S. before age 16 and are younger than 30
- Been in the country 5 years continuously
-Have no criminal history
- Graduated high school or earned a GED
- Pose no threat
- Or served in the military.
No matter where you stand on the issue, the children are stuck in the middle of the controversy.
Some of these children are honor roll students who have only known America to be their home. That is the case for 19-year-old Yves Gomes.
He's lived his entire life with uncertainty.
But without a doubt he wants to live in America.
"I like playing basketball, I like playing video games. I watch American television."
Both of his parents were deported several years ago when his father's fight for political asylum failed.
In 2010 it was Gomes' turn. After 9News Now interviewed him, he got a two-year extension.
His time is up again and that's why he says today's news couldn't have been better.
"For me it means a victory. but not a final victory. It's been tough but everything happens for a reason."
He was among the crowd that gathered for a rally at the White House Friday afternoon in support of the President's decision.
His story is not unlike the others in this group.
Take Nathaly Uribe, an undocumented 17-year-old high school student.
"I was brought here from Valparaiso, Chile when I was two years old. I have been here 15 years of my life. This is my home. I wouldn't know what to do if I were sent back to Chile."
Gomes came to this country at the beginning of his life. He sees himself growing old in this country. If he gets to fulfill that dream, he hopes of finding a cure for his cousin who suffers from muscular dystrophy.
"I live with my cousin who has muscular dystrophy and there's nothing more I'd like to do than to work towards finding a cure for his disease."
Gomes graduated high school with a 4.6 grade point average. He had to turn down half a dozen colleges because of his status.
He's at Montgomery College now, but is waiting to get into Georgetown to study biochemistry and find cures for diseases.

Hair Straightening Tips?
Started · Last post ·
Hey all, so I have a slight waves in my hair and I sometimes like to straighten them out with my hair straighter but I'm never quite happy with how it looks and it doesn't hold very well.
Sometimes I use my hair spray (Osis + Elastic Flex Hold) or my molding gunk (TIGI Rockaholic Punk Out molding gunk) to try to help it keep it's hold. It doesn't really go over all that well, it looks fine but it's not really worth the time.
So I was wondering if you guys had any tips to straighten my hair and keep it looking pretty, ha ha. Maybe some magical straightening spray or something?

Q: My Fiancé and I placed an offer on a short-sale home in the beginning of March, and have been told by our bank that we are very close to closing. Our question is, who contacts us if/when the bank accepts our offer? Will we get a call from the bank of the seller, our bank, or our Realtor?
–Anonymous, Redford, MI
A: Your Realtor should be contacting you once your Realtor has received confirmation of short sale approval and conditions, if any, associated with short sale approval.
Terry Osburn is a Realtor® with Windermere Bay Area Properties in Walnut Creek, CA.
A: Dear Short Sale Buyer -
Your Realtor will (should) contact you and should be keeping you in the loop while you are waiting. Pick up the phone and ask your Realtor these questions. Your Realtor is getting PAID to answer questions like these.
Denise Shur is a Realtor® with 1:1 Realty in San Jose, CA.
A: Your Realtor should provide you with the seller's bank's terms of short sale approval (typically a letter from the bank), which you will need to sign, as well as additional paperwork (verification of third-party purchase, etc.). Please be aware that the seller's bank can require changes to your offer in order to have seller's bank approve the sale.
Debra Kroon is a Realtor® with Yosemite West Real Estate in Yosemite, CA.
A: I suggest calling your agent. I am confused as to why your bank is involved at all. Typically, you make an offer, the seller accepts the offer then submits it to their bank for approval. The seller's bank then either accepts the offer, counters the offer or rejects the short sale. If the offer is accepted, the seller's bank notifies the seller of the approval. The seller's agent then notifies your agent in writing that the short sale has been approved. At that point your lender would begin processing your loan, and you would proceed to closing like any other transaction.
David Welch is a Realtor® with RE/MAX 200 Realty in Winter Park, FL.
A: You should be asking your Realtor this question.
In general your agent would receive a short sale approval letter from the sellers lender which should be delivered to you for acceptance and then the escrow process starts like a regular purchase.
I am concerned that you say your bank is saying you are close to closing, which to me means you are in escrow already.
Check with your agent, they should be the one to keep you informed of where you are in the process and your deadlines.
Teri Andrews Murch is a Realtor® with Lyon Real Estate in Auburn, CA.

Calling in sick can be fun—especially when a Price Is Right marathon is on the Game Show channel, but as great as that is, some companies hope on-site medical care will reduce employee down time. A.R.E. Accessories LLC, an Ohio-based manufacturer of fiberglass and aluminum caps and covers for pickup trucks, opened an on-site clinic operated by Care ATC for its 600-plus employees last October.
"The hassle of seeking care under the traditional system inhibits many employees from going to the doctor until it's critical," A.R.E. Vice President Bill Schweizer says. "By making health care readily accessible in the workplace, we can catch illnesses at the earliest stages and monitor chronic issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol on an ongoing basis to delay or prevent major complications." Schweizer says the company is seeing returns on its investment. "We already have found the on-site clinic has reduced absenteeism and increased worker productivity," he says. "Early indications also point to a net reduction in our total health-care spending."
The concept of offering medical services at work is not new, but companies increasingly are moving away from the occupational health model that focuses on treating on-the-job injuries toward a model that focuses on preventive health care, says Tom Rogers, Care ATC director of business development. "The model is designed to give employers control and help them save money by improving the health of the entire organization," he adds. "Because the focus is on preventive care, health-care costs decrease as employees and their families experience fewer catastrophic health claims."
Don't be surprised if more companies follow suit, says Schweizer. "We expect to see a growing number of small and mid-sized employers nationwide adopt similar models as health-care costs continue to escalate."

Two men were injured when a trash hauler overturned in a crash Monday morning west of Newville.
The garbage truck rolled onto its side in a curve and spilled garbage onto the 1600 block of Doubling Gap Road in Lower Mifflin Township shortly before 9 a.m.
One of the men in the truck was trapped and had to be freed by firefighters.
One person was flown to Penn State Hershey Medical Center by Life Lion helicopter with reported serious injuries.
Another person was transported to the Carlisle Regional Medical Center with minor injuries.
State police in Carlisle are investigating.

Stereoscopic mammography systems could be built by simply adding a stereo display to existing digital mammography equipment, Getty says, noting that he and colleagues are meeting with mammography equipment manufacturers to gauge their interest and, also, are seeking funding for further technology development and clinical trials from the National Institutes of Health.
Stereo mammography holds even greater promise as mammography equipment manufacturers such as General Electric Co., based in Fairfield, Conn.; Siemens, AG, headquartered in Munich; and Bedford, Mass.–based Hologic, Inc., develop machines to perform breast digital tomosynthesis, which takes up to 20 images in an arc in front of each breast with each image separated by one or two degrees. Together, these images could be reconstructed and viewed through a stereo mammography system to create a 3-D image of the breast that can be examined from a number of different angles.
"Breast CT [computed tomography] scanning may be the ultimate, but that's a decade away," D'Orsi says. Getty is hoping that ultimately CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of internal organs—such as the prostate and lungs—will also be viewable this way.

Well, this seems patently unfair.
A new app which has been described as a 'Yelp for guys' has drawn criticism for being 'shallow' and 'ridiculous'.
The Smartphone program allows women to write and read anonymous reviews about the people they date - but men, unsurprisingly, are less than amused.
Lulu, which launched in the U.S. this week, asks female users to describe men using hashtags such as #HandyMan and #CheaperThanABigMac.
With this new technology, one bad date can continue to doom you for the rest of time. That's progress right there.
Miss Chong came up with the idea for Lulu when she found herself telling her girlfriends about a boy who wasn't her type, but who 'might be perfect for someone else.'
She says Lulu is intended to be 'a discreet, private space for girls to talk about the most important issues in their lives: their relationships.'
The public seems to shares Miss Chong's feeling that women are in need of a platform for relationship chat - other than the usual phone call or in-person gossip session, that is.
The app - which first launched in the UK last year - has had 75,000 downloads since its U.S. debut on Tuesday, and over 140,000 man reviews have been written already.
Lulu's FAQ claims that its aim is to '[tell] you the stuff you want to know: is he a heartbreaker or your future husband?' No doubt an app which simplifies compatibility to such an extent invites plenty of controversy.
So you might want to get on that and make sure a scorned woman isn't unleashing her fury all over the place. Could be bad for business.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE)
Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) is the most widely adopted drug education program in the United States today. The DARE program is designed to give young people skills to resist pressures to use drugs. It originated as a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles Police Department in 1983. The original curriculum consisted of seventeen weekly lessons for fifth-and sixth-grade students taught by specially trained uniformed police officers. Since its origin, a nine-to ten-week middle school curriculum and a six-week high school curriculum have been added. DARE school police officers make regular visits to lower elementary classrooms. DARE-PLUS, a later addition to the DARE program, consists of two ten-week "Play and Learn Under Supervision" programs of after-school activities. DARE programs have received widespread support from parents and community leaders. Careful evaluations suggest modest short-term changes in young people's knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about drugs, and some effect on cigarette smoking. DARE appears to be less effective in delaying drug use than other more interactive programs. Strong public support for DARE and limited evidence of its effectiveness have created controversy about DARE's role and value.

March 5-9, 2014
Ron Silliman was born in Pasco,
Washington, although his
parents stayed there just
long enough for his mother
to learn that one could
step on field mice while
walking barefoot through the
snow to the outhouse, and
for his father to walk away
from a plane crash while
smuggling alcohol into
a dry county. Silliman
has written and edited over 30 books,
most recently Revelator from BookThug,
and had his poetry
and criticism translated into 14
languages. Silliman was a 2012
Kelly Writers House Fellow
at the University of Pennsylvania, and
the 2010 recipient of the
Levinson Prize, from the
Poetry Foundation. His sculpture
Poetry (Bury Neon) is permanently
on display in the
transit center of Bury, Lancashire,
and he has a plaque in the walk
dedicated to poetry in his home
town of Berkeley, although
he now lives in Chester County, PA. In 2014,
Silliman will publish two
new volumes of poetry from
Universe,: Northern Soul from Shearsman in
the UK, and Against Conceptual Poetry
from Counterpath in the US.

Pakistan is facing acute power shortage and the utilization of indigenous Thar coal currently seems the only viable answer to the perennial problem. The electricity generated through the process would be available at $16 per megawatt as compared to $77 MW and $69 MW generated through Integrated Gas Combined Cycle and Natural Gas Combine Cycle respectively. The power generated through the Thar coal gasification process would cost only 6 rupees per unit.
Surveys conducted by Pakistani and Chinese experts suggest that a total of 175 billion tons of coal reserves are in Thar Coal field. Total reserve is equivalent to 175 billion tone of oil or 350 trillion cubic meteres of coal gas, more than combine oil reserves of Iran and Saudi Arabia and 42 times greater than total gas reserves discovered in Pakistan so far.
It is pertinent to note that the this project is not unique in its nature many countries in the world are producing gas through UCG process by utilizing "black gold". Total world power generation via coal is 41.61 percent while Pakistan's neighbor India produces 53.3 percent of its total power by utilizing coal. Pakistan generates only 2.27 percent of power through coal while share of oil based power generation is 55.47 percent of total production. Following persistent prolonged load shedding people are on the streets to protest. It would be unwise to windup such development projects which have the potential to fulfill country's long term energy needs.

Lucy is 7 Months
...And she's got two teeth. Look at those chompers!!! Still waiting on some hair though :)
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Lucy is 6 Months!
Our little Lucy turned 6 months last week! We started her on solids last weekend using the
Baby Led Weaning
method. So far I don't think she's actually swallowed any of the food that's gone into her mouth, but we'll keep trying and hope that one day soon it will click for her. Right now she's happy to grab at the food and chomp on it a bit (no teeth yet) before pushing it out with her tongue.
Foods she's tried:
- steamed broccoli
- rice
- avocado
- round crackers
- animal crackers
- pear
- lettuce
Tonight we're having breakfast for dinner, so Lucy will get toast fingers and some banana!

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
It isn't often that my husband makes special requests for baked goodies; he's more of an "I'll eat whatever you make" kind of guy. So on the rare occasion that he makes a suggestion, I'm all ears. Recently he asked for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies (one of my favorites!), and of course I obliged. The recipe I chose is from the
America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book
. It's the White Chocolate Chip variation of their Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. Don't make the mistake I did and over bake them! Even when a recipe explicitly says "Don't overbake," I have a hard time following directions. I'm a notrious cookie over-baker because I don't like gooey cookies...but sometimes that backfires and my cookies end up too dry!
Thick and Chewy Macadamia and White Chocolate Chip Cookies
From the
America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book
Makes about 24 cookies
2 cups (10 ⅔ oz) plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
12 tbsp/1½ sticks/170g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup packed (7 oz) light brown sugar
½ cup (3½ oz) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cup (9 oz) white chocolate chips
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
Adjust the oven racks to the middle position and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat the melted butter and sugars together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 or 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl and beater as needed.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Mix in the chips and nuts until incorporated.
Working with 2 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls and lay them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until the edges are set and beginning to brown but the centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 20 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Chicken Tikka Masala
We're not very adventurous when it comes to Indian cuisine in our household. When we've gone out for Indian food, I almost always get butter chicken or saag paneer while the Mister prefers chicken tikka masala. Since we're making a conscious effort to reduce the number of times we dine out each month, I thought I'd try my hand at making chicken tikka masala at home. The recipe I seem to come across the most when searching online is the one from Pioneer Woman's website. On the first try, I made it pretty much as written (minus the ginger, because I could not find any decent specimens at the grocer). It was good, but we found it to be a bit much with all that cream. When I made it again I switched from diced tomatoes to crushed and reduced the amount of cream by half. I also had a hard time getting the chicken to char as well as she did with the broiler (this is one of those times I wish we had a gas oven!), so I used a Foreman-type grill and got better results. Give it a try!
Chicken Tikka Masala
Adapted from
The Pioneer Woman
Serves 6
3-4 whole chicken breasts (I used 6 large tenderloins)
kosher salt
ground coriander
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 Tbl. butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic (or 1 tsp. granulated)
3 Tbl. Garam Masala
1 Tbl. paprika (optional, for color)
1 Tbl. sugar
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt, coriander, and cumin. Coat with plain yogurt. Cover and let marinate in refrigerator for about 2 hours. Broil chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until chicken has some charred, slightly blackened edges. (You can also cook the chicken for about 7 minutes in a George Foremen grill) Remove from oven and set aside.
Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a large skillet and saute the onions over medium-high heat until slightly browned. Add garlic, 1 Tablespoon salt, Garam Masala seasoning, paprika, sugar, and crushed tomatoes. Stir well and let simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the cooked chicken into 1-inch pieces.
Add heavy cream and chicken pieces to the pan. Stir and allow to heat. Serve over basmati rice.

Crazy Cooking Challenge: Cheesecake
It's that time again! This month's
Crazy Cooking Challenge
theme is...CHEESECAKE! The rules have changed for this month's challenge, so recipes we select no longer have to come from a blog. Recipes can come from anywhere, so the possibilities are nearly endless. I selected Cookies and Cream Mini Cheesecakes from the May 2007 issue of
First for Women
magazine. They were delicious! Like many cheesecakes, these freeze really well. We stashed most of the batch in the freezer and popped them out to defrost while we had supper. You won't be disappointed with this recipe. Be sure to visit the other challenge participants for more yummy cheesecake recipes!
Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
Yield: 12 servings
Source: May 07, 2007 issue of
First for Women
10 chocolate sandwich cookies, ground
2 Tbl. sugar
2 Tbl. melted butter
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
8 chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Heat oven to 325°F. In bowl, combine ground chocolate sandwich cookies with sugar and melted butter. Divide mixture evenly among 12 paper-lined muffin cups; press to form crusts.
In bowl of electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar for 2 minutes. Add 2 eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each. Stir in 8 chocolate sandwich cookies, chopped, and vanilla extract. Divide cream cheese mixture evenly among prepared muffin cups.
Bake 20 minutes, or until center is almost set. Cool completely and chill before serving.

Coconut Granola
If you're looking to incorporate more oats into your diet but don't like the taste/texture of oatmeal, why not try some granola? Here's an easy recipe for granola that you can make with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! I like my granola with dried fruits and sometimes nuts, but they're not included in the recipe because in my experience the granola stays crunchier longer if it's stored "plain". Just add your favorite mix-ins before serving. I like a small bowl of this (it's really hearty!) with milk for breakfast, but it's also great with yogurt.
Coconut Granola
Adapted from
Lynn's Kitchen Adventures
7 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 Tbl. cinnamon
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
1 Tbl. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper (can also use two 9x13" pans).
In large bowl combine oats, coconut, and cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute, and set bowl aside.
Combine brown sugar, sugar, oil, and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract (careful, the mixture may bubble up a bit). Pour over oat mixture and stir thoroughly. Spread into the lined sheet pan.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Stir granola, then return to oven. Turn the oven off and leave the granola in there for 3-4 hours. (I do 4 hours) The heat left in the oven will finish cooking this. Once 3-4 hours have passed, remove from the oven (it will probably be slightly warm) and break into small pieces. Let cool completely and store in an air tight container.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Here's a recipe for classic oatmeal raisin cookies that I think you'll really enjoy. It comes from
Cooks Illustrated
, so you know it has to be good! While most oatmeal raisin cookies tend toward the cinnamony side (my favorite!), these don't have any cinnamon at all. The recipe calls for freshly grated nutmeg, which brings out the "oaty-ness" of the cookies better. Not a fan of raisins? No problem! Feel free to swap them out with chocolate chips!
Big Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Cook's Illustrated
makes 16 to 20 large cookies
2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened but still firm
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients, beating just until combined. Mix in the oats and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed in the dough.
Divide the dough into 2 tablespoon balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown (the centers will still be pale - don't overbake). Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the cookies cool a few minutes before removing them to the rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough (be sure to let the baking sheet cool in between batches).
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

text: Don't let this happen 2 U I don't (often) get on the soap box, but there are some days I'm just too grateful not to. This week: my annual skin exam. Sixeen years ago I was diagnosed with melanoma. Skin cancer. Ultra-bad skin cancer. There are a lot of "fortunatelys" in my story. Fortunately, I'd been paying attention. Fortunately, I went to the doctor to have it checked out. Fortunately my doctor, however unimpressed with my small lesion, trusted my instincts over her own. Later my doctor told me, Well, you just might have saved your own life. Fortunately, I'm here to write about it. My skin cancer was caught early. I had blood work, tests, scans. Excisions. Lots of them, my skin's every wart and bauble now eyed with wariness and suspicion. Even that small mole on my shoulder, a lifelong embarrassment, was carved out and tossed to the scrap heap of just-in-case (hooray!). Most were benign. A few were marginal. The soon-gone melanoma left a tidy reminder scar, but I'd dodged the chemo, the radiation, the terminal prognosis. Eight years later, a lesser repeat. This time, a basal cell carcinoma on my nose. Plastic surgery was recommended. Not being particularly vain (or so I thought), I asked my dermatologist if she couldn't just cut the thing out. She said she could, but I'd be left with three nostrils. Yipes. I opted for the plastic surgeon. Fortunately I had a good medical plan. And I had my friends. One, Diane, understanding my face would be a mess, did what any good friend would do and purchased for me a handy disguise (above), so I could move through my post-surgical days without drawing undue attention to myself. Another expressed alarm as he thought I'd tangled with a raccoon. Eventually I graduated to a once-a-year evaluation plan. It's no big deal, showing up for that annual appointment to have my physician check me out. It's an important thing to do, but what matters even more is my ongoing vigilance, my routine of keeping my eye out for myself. I'm lucky. I've always been aware—thanks to a long personal history of mysterious skin outbreaks and a father who had his own skin cancer follies—that I should probably be paying close attention. In fact, when I was in my early twenties I made an appointment with a dermatologist just to talk about my skin, to educate myself, to learn what it was I should be wary of. What I received was a lecture, a Grade-A scolding on how I was wasting his precious time. Sure, he was a jerk. But looking back, I see now how I might have been ahead of my time. I also see how I might have been deterred from taking care of myself, how that one sour experience could have turned me away from vigilance. Fortunately, it didn't. And because of that, I've had sixteen good years I might not have otherwise had. This week I received a clean bill of health and a friendly reminder as well—to come right in if a future anything causes me concern. Now it's my turn to offer a reminder: Pay attention to your skin. It might have some very important things to say. |

Grandparents scam
Among the cruelest of all scams is the grandparents scam, where the generosity and care of grandparents is exploited by a crook posing as a grandchild. This scam often takes the form of a phone call from someone claiming to be a grandchild needing money for some supposed crisis: emergency medical treatment, bail money, car repairs, etc.
Grandparents who are contacted with such a request should do whatever is necessary to confirm their grandchildren's whereabouts. Many older consumers are fooled because of bad phone connections, hearing loss or other complications.
Many times the scammer requests money via wire transfer. This is often a sign of a scam.

Reasons to Start Fresh with a Rustic Bench
1. Garden benches can be traditional, but they certainly don't have to be. To give your garden or patio seating a rugged or eye-catching look, try a more rustic garden bench.
2. Any Adirondack-style bench (full bench, loveseat, rocker, or attached chairs and tables) offers a hint of summer at the lake. For an even more rustic look, try the Canberra Adirondack Log Bench, which is made from unfinished conifer logs.
3. The Tupper Lake Settee is made from less-finished logs for a rustic look. It gets its incredible comfort from a contoured back and seat, and it can be stained or left natural to fade to a silvery gray color. To complete the seating area, you can add the matching Saranac Table Bench as a side table or as additional seating. The table is also suitable as a small bench on its own.
4. Of course, benches made of rough-hewn logs instead of finished, polished wood will always have a more rustic look, but you needn't stop there. Groovystuff makes some very interesting rustic garden benches that will keep your guests getting up to admire where they're sitting. The Pattern Bench features an intricate geometric design, and the Wilderness Bench has a remarkable optical illusion design in its seat back. They also make a Rocky Mountain School Bench, a backless bench with log legs.

Vacation rentals in United States, Canada, Mexico (condos, cottages, houses, apartments) |
> SlowTrav > USA > Restaurants > Reviews > California Napa: Morimoto Napa610 Main Street , Phone: 707-252-1600www.morimotonapa.com Reviewed by: Roz from CA, review #3579 When: 2010 Uniquely creative and delicious menu, but be prepared to pay for the experience! If you are an Iron Chef fan (I confess Im not into what my son calls the food porn shows), you probably are familiar with celebrity chef Morimoto. He recently (summer 2010) opened a restaurant in Napa, which has been packing them in. We were lucky to get a gift certificate there, since it is extremely pricey although the food is truly outstanding. There is a sushi / sashimi menu, but I think its more interesting to try some of the different dishes, with some very creative combinations of flavors. I suggest, if you want to go there, that you start by reading a lot of reviews online, since the fairly long menu is not your standard fare. I found it helpful to read about what various people have liked and what each dish contains so I had a basic idea of what I wanted to order. If you google Morimoto Napa, you can find several blogs with photos, as well as many Yelp reviews. The two of us started by sharing a signature dish, the tuna pizza with anchovy aioli, olives, jalapeno, and cilantro, over raw tuna on flatbread ($18). It was definitely a good size for two people for an appetizer. It was an intriguingly delicious complex blend of flavors, which kept on coming as you savored each bite. Next I had the foie gras chawan mushi ($16) a soup which again offered a wonderfully unique combination of flavors, especially with the dab of wasabi on the side. I think actually I would have liked just a little more wasabi to counteract the somewhat sweet flavoring in the soup. Mike had duck meatball soup ($14), which he said was terrific. As a main course, Mike had the pork chop (a very good-sized chunk of meat), served with kimchee, bacon, and ginger apple puree ($32). He was happy. I opted for the half portion of the sea urchin carbonara, with smoked bacon, udon noodle, and crispy shallot ($18 for the half portion). It was extremely rich and filling and also quite deliciously unlike anything Id ever eaten. The half portion was more than enough for me, after the two starters. We were way too full for dessert, none of which especially appealed to us anyway. We had started by each ordering a glass of Domaine Chandon sparkling wine (blanc de blanc) for $10 a glass. We had been warned that the wine list was quite pricey something that is very often true at the high end restaurants around here. So we brought our own nice bottle of Cabernet and were happy to pay the $25 corkage fee rather than order off the list, where I dont think there were any red wines under $80. Our total check with tax (before tip) was $155. Another suggestion is to try to get a table outside. The noise level indoors can be painful. There are heat lamps for the seats along the river if its a cool evening, and it is much more pleasant out there. This review is the opinion of a Slow Travel member and not of slowtrav.com. |

He may drop a hard line once in a blue moon (pretty sure almost every rapper done exaggerated or lied about something in their one of their songs at least once) but altogether he probably has less a hand full of them. Like said he pretty much sticks to talking about living life and broads.

"Success is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific, simple habits that always lead to success."
~Robert J. Ringer~
First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not…Habit is persistence in practice.
~Octavia Butler~
"Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to
get out of."
Most of our failings are habits we have allowed ourselves to form and keep. We will probably never be perfect, but we can be less imperfect.
~Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of the Al-Anon Groups, 1980
"The more severe the pain or illness, the more sever will be the necessary changes. These may involve breaking bad habits, or acquiring some new and better ones."
~Peter McWilliams~
"First we make our habits, then our habits make us."
~Charles C. Noble~
"The thought manifests as the word The word manifests as the deed The deed develops into habit And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings."
~The Buddha~
"Winning is not a sometime thing it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing."
~Vince Lombardi~
Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
~Nathaniel Emmons~
"Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his lttle finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed."
~William James~

About Super Bee
Dodge and Plymouth started to enjoy a bit of a rivalry in 1968 when Dodge released the Superbee, an affordable muscle car, in direct competition to Plymouth's Road Runner. The two cars had similar chassis, engines and weights, so the performance was about equal. The base model of the Super Bee, however, was about $150 more than the Road Runner.
The Dodge Super Bee enjoyed a six-model run. Production ran from 1969 through 1971 and limited special editions were released from 2007 to 2009 and again in 2012. Based on the redesigned Dodge Coronet coupe, the Super Bee was only ever available in pillared two-door coupe and two-door hardtop body styles.
Although the Dodge Super Bee was considered a budget muscle car, its lower cost fortunately didn't translate to low profile. This sporty car included such decorative features as bumblebee racing stripes, bright moldings on the rear body panel and wheels, a black matte grille, a large Super Bee emblem and a decorative power bulge on the hood. The interior featured pleated vinyl seats, door-to-door carpet, a bench seat and door panels.
The Super Bee was famous for its numerous and often unusual color options. The classic 1968 and 1969 colors included deep green metallic, baby blue and dark red. Models in the following years featured much brighter and bolder colors.
The 1970 and 1971 Dodge Super Bee was offered in a wide range of high-impact colors that included names such as Plum Crazy, Banana Yellow, Go Mango, Sublime and Panther Pink. Plum Crazy proved to be the most popular color for this muscle car while the Panther Pink didn't go over very well with the guys.
Dodge released a more modernized edition of the classic Super Bee in 2007. This limited edition was available in only two color options: TorRed and Detonator Yellow. In 2008, the Super Bee only came in a vibrant pearl blue color while the 2009 Super Bee was available in a bold Hemi Orange. The colors available for the 2012 Super Bee include Pitch Black and Stinger Yellow.
The original Super Bee base model engine was the 335 4-barrel 383 cylinder V8, but Dodge switched over to a 383 cylinder Magnum V8 4-barrel rated at 300 horsepower for the 1971 cars.
Upgrading the engine in 1968 cost an additional $1,000 for a 426 Hemi. In 1969, buyers could purchase the Dodge 440 six pack for an additional $463.
In 1969, buyers could also choose to upgrade the Hurst 4-speed manual transmission to the Torqueflite automatic transmission. In 1971, the car came with the Torqueflite automatic transmission but customers could opt to buy a 3-speed or a 4-speed manual transmission instead.

HEALTH -- May 4, 2011 at 5:15 PM ET
China Tries to Kick the Public Smoking Habit
Smoker in Nanjing, China. Photo by Flickr user J. Unrau.
When the NewsHour's global health team visited China last year for stories on tobacco, obesity and other health issues, they found a smoker's paradise and an anti-tobacco advocate's nightmare.
People lit up constantly in restaurants and parks, cigarettes made popular gifts for special occasions and business was hopping at tobacco shops. The country has an estimated 350 million smokers, more people than the entire population of the United States. More than half of adult men smoke.
"If you're trying to quit, don't come here," wrote Ray Suarez. "The telltale odor of smoke, or a just-stubbed out butt, seems ever present."
A new government policy banning smoking in public venues is now aiming to put a dent in the country's smoking culture, or at the very least make smoking more inconvenient.
Watch the NewsHour's 2010 report on tobacco use in China:
Starting this week, China's Ministry of Health is strengthening its tobacco rules to require 28 types of businesses, including bars, coffee shops, hotels and stadiums to become 100 percent smoke-free. A notable exception to the regulation is office buildings.
"This is really an encouraging first step ... it really sets a baseline for local governments and provincial governments," said Kathy Chen, China director for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
The government move is especially significant because the tobacco industry in China is a state owned and controlled monopoly. Cigarettes are big business, with taxes on tobacco products bringing in at least 5 percent of the government's total revenue.
The decision brings China closer to fulfilling the tenants of the World Health Organization's global anti-tobacco treaty, which the country backed five years ago but has been slow to implement.
"What is going to be key is public support and a social norm change where non smokers feel like they have the right to tell smokers 'This is a non-smoking place, please put out your cigarette,'" said Chen.
The new policy requires business owners to post no smoking signs, and delegate staff to stop people from lighting up. Outdoor smoking areas must be away from sidewalks, and cigarette vending machines will no longer be allowed in public places.
Fines for business owners who violate the rules could range from 1,000 yuan (about $150) to 30,000 yuan (about $4,600), according to the new policy, but there are still questions about how the regulation will be enforced on a local level, and whether these fines will really be imposed.
"Publicizing a regulation is one thing, forcefully implementing it is another," said Yuanli Liu, the director for the China Initiative at the Harvard School of Public Health who is serving as part of the health policy and management committee for the Chinese government. He warns the policy can be undermined easily if local governments, many of which benefit from the tobacco industry and sales, don't buy into the regulation.
"This change will take a while, you don't expect this new policy to become a panacea, a silver bullet to fix all the problems," he said.
The tobacco industry and the government are intertwined in China but the policy doesn't mean promotion of tobacco will stop. Liu noted tactical counter campaigns by the tobacco industry have already begun in response to these regulations, including promotion of new lower nicotine brands and publicizing charitable donations.
But unlike similar bans enacted in cities in the United States, there has not been an organized push-back from owners of bars and restaurants, said Chen, who has been monitoring media coverage in papers across China.
For the policy to make a real impact, Liu argued more needs to be done to educate the public and health workers about the real dangers of tobacco in tandem with new regulations.
"There is still a lack of strong belief in the harmful effects of smoking. People will cite examples of visible leaders who were chain smokers, like Chairman Mao, and lived a long life," Liu said. Many doctors and medical students are also smokers, sending mixed signals to patients.
But the down-side to having so many people lighting up is also becoming evident. As Suarez reported last year, one million deaths a year in China are now attributed to smoking-related illnesses, and worker productivity is lost to these diseases as well.
"There is increasing awareness because of the alarming rates of growth of non communicable disease, of lung disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease," Chen said. "You see the balance starts to tip."
While many remain skeptical of how the new regulation will play out, Chen points to the recent push before the 2008 Beijing Olympics to make the city smoke free as an example that change is possible. Hotel lobbies in the city used to be wall to wall smoke, she said but since the efforts that has changed.
"Making it inconvenient and socially unacceptable to smoke does become a driver for people to quit," she said.

Power of Women in Social Media |
Written by Breaking News Online Team | |
Friday, 02 September 2011 13:05 | |
Women Desk (By Triveni Sharma): Almost in every field, women are giving a stiff competition to their male counterparts. There is a discrepancy between the genders in terms of their mind-sets, manners, and needs. In many fields, women have proved their strength and potency. Even in social media, women have strongly established their existence, and shown her power of deliberation to the world. There are many social media sites, where women are presenting their views and theories in front of the world. It's no surprise that through social mediums, women are amazingly showing their adeptness, and proficiency, in this male dominating world. To share their knowledge and facts with the world, women are tending to be in touch and communicate without self-possession. They know social media is the only medium that can cause revolution, innovate, build links across regions, and brings rich opportunities to move ahead. Many sites and online companies are trying their best efforts to reach women, whether as customers, entrepreneurs, workers or campaigners. Social media can guide women to get together and make a start, either by means of inter-personal social networking or as a group. According to a research from Rapleaf, a company that collects and analyzes publicly available data from the Internet, reports, "Although men spend as much or more time online overall, women far outpace than men on usage of social media." In addition, women have shown her endowment and power of thought to the world, and with full heart Social media has accepted them as the sovereigns. |


text: | Building banjosJuly 5, 2010 - Bill AckerbauerHere's story from the Associated Press that I enjoyed. I pass it along for the benefit of readers who can't get enough banjo-related brain food, and for those who appreciate the value of fine things made by hand: Man builds banjos by hand, documents luthiers By ASHLEY BOYD The Tuscaloosa News FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) — When the economic recession hit, Randy Arnold of Northport fell back on an old hobby for income. The third generation of his family to work with wood, Arnold builds banjos. "Today, music is a passive experience, but there was a time when you listened to music or played instruments that you made yourself," Arnold said. "It's not common today for people to work with their hands like they used to." By Ashley Boyd, The Tuscaloosa News. Arnold is a luthier, someone who makes and repairs stringed instruments. He earned national attention and helped promote his craft when he was asked to document luthiers and other artists in Alabama for New Harmonies, the Smithsonian Institution's traveling exhibit. The New Harmonies exhibit in Alabama, which was funded by a partnership between the Alabama Humanities Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, explored the cultural identities of musical genres with American roots. The exhibit was displayed in six cities across Alabama in 2009. Arnold's contribution to the exhibit included interviews with Sand Mountain fiddle makers and a feature about the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention. Arnold's work was going to be part of this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival held each summer in Washington, D.C., but Alabama's portion of the festival was eliminated because of budget cuts, according to Joyce Cauthen, executive director of the Alabama Folklife Association. The work is expected to be featured at the annual festival in the near future. "We went ahead and developed the content. We're going around interviewing people and taking pictures and have been using content in local exhibits and programs," she said. Cauthen said Arnold's experience building musical instruments and his connection to the Alabama Folklife Association played a role in asking him to interview and document luthiers and other artists in Alabama. Finding luthiers, she said, can be difficult since few people still practice the craft. "It's hard to support yourself making instruments," Cauthen said. "Most people do it as a hobby or something on the side, but there are few who do it full time. It's what people aspire to do." Among Arnold's interview subjects were Lebron Batey and Gene Ivey, two fiddle makers from Sand Mountain. Ivey, who was inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 1997, has constructed more than 270 musical instruments throughout his career, including the fiddles he plays. In his interview with Ivey, Arnold said he was impressed by how Ivey incorporated modern technology into his work and veered away from the traditional approach. "While I still used hide glue and shape necks with a spokeshave, talking to Gene taught me to just relax and let the craft happen. After talking to Gene, I worry less about the idea of craftsmanship and more on getting to work. "Anytime you see someone else in your field, it gives you a lot of ideas. It's liberating to see that people are doing things different." Arnold has been crafting banjos in his grandfather's shop in Northport since 2004. Like his grandfather and father, he said he enjoys the precision and technique of woodworking. "I was a kid when my grandfather died, but he'd love to know that I've got the shop going." Arnold said he chooses to use expensive wood when building his banjos, but the craft can be done inexpensively depending on the wood and type of tools used. Arnold prefers using woods like ebony, rosewood and maple. In addition to musical instruments, Arnold also creates hand-crafted bookbinders' tools. His tools, which are sold across the U.S., are featured this month at the Kentuck Museum in Northport. Arnold also provided demonstrations at Kentuck's June Ala cARTe event alongside the University of Alabama Book Arts Program. "I've always wanted to do this, but never had the chance to pursue it. The recession was the greatest thing that happened to me. It forced me to explore my options and give this a shot. "Working with your hands is really special. The whole hand, heart and brain process that goes into this is a beautiful concept." (Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.) Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article.

Practical Ethics For Roman Gentlemen
The Works of Valerius Maximus
Distributed for Liverpool University Press
". . . an important contribution to the study of Valerius and, more generally, to the place of exemplarity and the anecdote in the transmission of ideological values in Roman culture." –Journal of Roman Studies, 87 (1997)
"This book has a number of advantages. Unlike Valerius, it is extremely accessible: the argument is broken down into brief chapters, and translations follow the quotations. It provides a good introductory discussion to the centrality of exempla in Roman life and thought, and it offers a challenge to the traditional approach to Valerius." –Bryn Mawr Classical Review
This early popularity and later neglect of Valerius is a phenomenon of the history of Classical Studies which deserves further study: what purposes were served by the widespread reading of this author in the early modern period; what does his disappearance from the educational curriculum, and from the canon of commonly-read authors, indicate of the changing role of Classics in the production of the educated élite of the West? Although the place of Valerius in the history of Classics has yet to be examined, there are signs that his period of neglect is coming to an end: in 1992 Bloomer's Valerius Maximus and the Rhetoric of the New Nobility was published, and now we have Skidmore's welcome addition to the field of Valerian studies.
S. takes issue with the currently dominant view which sees Valerius' aim in writing his book as primarily rhetorical, that is, that his intention was simply to provide a handy compendium of historical exempla for the use of making formal speeches. S's. contention is that it is more useful to turn our attention from rhetoric to the wider context of ethics in general: he views Valerius' work as providing moral guidance for élite Roman men by providing them with examples of good or bad behaviour by comparison with which they could decide on their own best course of action in any life's crises. To this end S. provides a detailed analysis both of the stories which Valerius chooses to include and of the authorial comment which contextualizes them and orientates the reader's reception and interpretation of them.
S. has perhaps gone too far in his polemical rejection of the relevance of oratory to Valerius: it is worth remembering the centrality of public speaking for élite Roman men and therefore the extent to which to make a speech in the proper form and enunciating the right attitudes was itself to embody and exemplify the correct performance of Roman manhood. His book is, however, a useful corrective and an important contribution to the study of Valerius and, more generally, to the place of exemplarity and the anecdote in the transmission of ideological values in Roman culture." –Journal of Roman Studies, Volume 87, 1997

Ok, may be some of you prefer title "Forget I was ever an Italian Team fan" today, but that would be negative.
So I stand by my title, even though today was heartbreaking and disappointing and embarrassing to some of you.
Even non-Italians learned to admire passion and devotion that Squadra Azzurri instills on their fans. If you live in Toronto or Woodbridge, you know how they support their team! Their hearts beat in unison during those 90 minutes of the game, whether they are 5 or 95 and it's they are full of pure happiness when the team presents them with victory. Remember home-made flags the size of a parachute? Kids driving around by 12 in every car, hanging out from every window and honking the horn until it's busted? The ones too little to be allowed to go for these crazy drives are on every street corner, waving flags and cheering to every passing car. Other nationalities admit that Italian soccer fans taught them how to party. No other team has fans scouting shops for official team jerseys 4-5 months prior to next World Cup in order to show their support, and pride, and commitment.
But let's be fair, we can't have it every time, other fans should have a chance to shout something at the top of their lungs too. We've already had that exhilarating moment more than most, and last time only four years ago. And four World Cup trophies is a really great reason to keep wearing that blue jersey with four stars proudly regardless of today. There will be next World Cup and there will be a party on our street again! Forza!
