Breaking News: Final Leads Announced for LES MISERABLES Broadway Revival - Find Out Who's Enjolras and The Thenardiers
Casting is complete for the leads of the upcoming 2014 Broadway revival of Les Miserables, and Cameron Mackintosh announced today that acclaimed Canadian actor Cliff Saunders (The 39 Steps) and Tony Award-nominee Keala Settle (Hands on a Hardbody), will play the Thenardiers in his new production of Alain Boublil & Claude-Michel Schönberg's Tony Award-winning musical.
The show returns to Broadway beginning Saturday, March 1 at the Imperial Theatre (249 West 45th Street). Saunders is currently performing the role of Thenardier in the Toronto production of the musical, for which he has received critical acclaim. Also joining the cast of LES MISERABLES is Kyle Scatliffe, currently co-starring in the West End production of The Scottsboro Boys, as the revolutionary Enjolras. Saunders, Settle and Scatliffe join recently announced cast members Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean); Will Swenson (Javert); Caissie Levy (Fantine), Nikki M. James (Eponine), Andy Mientus (Marius) and Charlotte Maltby (Cosette). The official opening night for LES MISERABLES is Sunday, March 23. The complete ensemble will be announced next month.
This newly re-imagined LES MISERABLES, which grossed over $160 million in its recent two and a half year American tour, is currently breaking box office records, receiving rave reviews and capacity crowds with the Canadian production at the Princess of Wales in Toronto starring Ramin Karimloo, who will play Jean Valjean on Broadway. International productions of the new LES MISERABLES have been met with equal success and acclaim in the U.K., France, Spain, Japan and Korea and will open soon in Australia. This new version of LES MISERABLES, which premiered in the U.K. in 2009, inspired filmmakers to make last year's Oscar/Golden Globe/BAFTA winning-movie. The score includes the classic songs "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Stars," "Bring Him Home," "Do You Hear the People Sing?," "One Day More," "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," "Master Of The House" and many more.
Cameron Mackintosh's production of LES MISERABLES is written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg and is based on the novel by Victor Hugo. It has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer and original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, original adaption by Trevor Nunn and John Caird and additional material by James Fenton. The original LES MISERABLES orchestrations are by John Cameron with new orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke and additional orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe and Stephen Brooker.
The new production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, designed by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo with costumes by Andreane Neofitou and Christine Rowland, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Mick Potter and projections by Fifty-Nine Productions.
The original New York production of LES MISERABLES premiered first at the Broadway Theatre on March 12, 1987, later moving to the Imperial on October 17, 1990, where it played until May 18, 2003, for a total Broadway run of 6680 performances.
There have been four U.S. national touring companies of LES MISERABLES that have played more than 200 cities. Broadway audiences welcomed LES MISERABLES back to New York on November 9, 2006 where the show played the Broadhurst Theatre until its final performance on January 6, 2008. LES MISERABLES is the 4th longest-running Broadway production of all time.
Cliff Saunders (Thenardier) has received critical acclaim for his current portrayal of Thenardier in the Toronto production of LES MISERABLES. On Broadway he co-starred in the critically-acclaimed, Tony Award-nominated hit The 39 Steps (Roundabout Theatre, Cort Theatre, and Huntington Theatre in Boston.) (IRNE Award -Best Supporting Actor).

(Tarragon), Lord of the Rings, Beauty and The Beast (Princess of Wales Theatre), two seasons at the Stratford Festival, as well as working at Soulpepper, Canstage, Elgin, Winter Garden, The Grand, Aquarius, Royal Alexandra, YPT, Crows Videocab, Blythe and many more.

Corning Headed for a Breakout
Corning (GLW) appears headed for a breakout today. The stock is trading at fresh 2013 highs with the help of a 3% jump today. Volume is running heavy and will finish the day with an above-average performance. The consolidation GLW has been tracing out since the mid-December peak appears to have ended with an upside move.Corning (GLW) Source: TradeStation View Chart » View in New Window »
Corning exploded higher last Thanksgiving after reporting stronger-than-forecast sales of LCD glass. GLW bolted 7% on the news with the help of a huge ramp in volume. Three weeks later the stock ran into heavy resistance near the major Oct. 24 breakdown gap. This level, just above $13, capped the upper tier of the consolidation that included the last three monthly highs. This month, GLW's range has narrowed while volume has continued its mid-February volume decline. With added support coming from both the 50- and 200-day moving average, the stock has been setting up well for a breakout since March 1....119 more words left in this article.

"These are very good chilled. I made approximately 48 small 1 in. balls. No need to butter your hands to make them as they are pretty greasy already. Let them cool before you form them, they do not harden like rice krispies at all but they do hold there form fine. I placed them in cake pan and then threw a couple of handfuls of powdered sugar on top and shook left to right and quickly had them covered easily. They taste yummy!"

Bicycle Wheel Turns Graph Paper Drawings Into Animated GIFs
Artist Alma Alloro spends hours creating meticulous analog drawings only to convert them into seconds-long GIFs.
Graph paper was the scourge of every 6th grade math class. Today, artist Alma Alloro reincarnates the dead medium as a living, moving piece of art with help from an unlikely friend: the bicycle wheel.
Spending hours filling in the little squares, Alloro fills in her page with circles, squares and triangles. Then she digitizes them to create animated GIFs, then attaches them to the wheel of the bike. Using the spinning bicycle wheel and a strobe light to convert them back into analog GIFs.
The artist describes the project–called Further Abstract –it in her own words:
The animations then stepped back from digital to analog, bringing the manual groove one step further, with images on spinning wheel, the animation triggered by a strobe light. This subject works meticulously for hours and hours on a seemingly pointless mission. This meticulous process is contradicted by the extremely short duration of the animation itself.
The animation lasts but a few seconds, not paying tribute to the hours of effort that went into creating them. The trance they create, though, is infinitely mesmerizing.

Dear Poll: Do You Tend to Get Nostalgic?
I have about a dozen shoeboxes jammed in the farthest corners of my closet just stuffed to the brim with old letters, cards, ticket stubs, and other random things that carry serious sentimental value for me. Every time I move, I carefully pack up all these boxes and place them lovingly in my new closet, where they sit for the most part untouched. Every once in a while though, when I'm feeling down or just contemplative, I open up the boxes and let the nostalgic feeling wash over me — it's like a trip down memory lane!
Now I know everyone collects things that matter to them over the years, but tell me, do you often find yourself longing for the past?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
We are, my wife and I, started the process of the I-130. I would like to ask a question about the affidavit of support. My wife is American but she lived and worked the last 4 years outside the USA, teaching in private colleges. We are both working right now outside the US. As she could not make tax declarations as she did not work in the US, is a letter from our employer and her savings can be enough. She earns 3600 US Dollars monthly and she has 18 000 USD on her saving account. Any info please... thanks.
A sponsor must be domiciled in the US. Only certain exceptions apply. This is a complicated topic, and it is not possible to assess whether your wife qualifies to be your sponsor by means of this forum. I strongly recommend you consult with a reputable Immigration attorney before filing your application. You can find one in your area at ailalawyer.com. Good luck.
[This answer is for general purposes only; it does not constitute advice and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.]Ask a similar question
The affidavit of support is not needed if you are filing just the I-130 right now. The affidavit of support is typically filed with the application for adjustment. While the I-130 and I-485 can be filed simultaneously if in the US pursuant to an entry with permission, if you are outside the US the I-130 is filed first and must be approved before you can move on to filing for permanent residency. You may wish tonhire an attorney to help.
The answer provided here is general in nature and does not take into account other factors that may need to be reviewed for a more precise answer. You should consult with an immigration attorney before taking any action. The answer here is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
You may want to discuss using a co sponsor and lining that person up now for when they're needed in the process.Ask a similar question
I would be concerned about your statement that your wife did not file US tax returns. Even though she may have earned all her income outside the US, she is still required to file federal US tax returns if her income is above the mandatory amount. She may wish to talk with a tax professional or accountant as soon as possible. If her employment will not continue in the US, then her current salary probably will not be seen as helpful for purposes of the affidavit of support, and her current bank account balance is not sufficient to qualify on the basis of her assets. So you may need to add a joint sponsor who can file another affidavit of support on your behalf.Ask a similar question

My Reasons for Reporting This

Who is Blessed Imelda and why does Pope Francis like to invoke her name?
In his historic interview with Jesuit editors for La Civiltà Cattolica and America magazine, Francis referred to Blessed Imelda in discussing his work as archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, especially during the time when the country was under the rule of a military junta.
"I lived a time of great interior crisis when I was in Cordova. To be sure, I have never been like Blessed Imelda [goody-goody], but I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems," Francis said in his interview. The bracketed description of Imelda was inserted by the editors at America.
Her name also popped up during another highly publicized press event, when Pope Francis held an impromptu press conference July 28 on board his plane as it was headed home from World Youth Day in Brazil.
"There are saints in the Curia. And there are also some who aren't so saintly ... We have this monsignor in jail, I think he's still in jail. He is not in jail because he resembled Blessed Imelda; in fact, he isn't a 'blessed,' " Francis told the journalists on the plane with him.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
Essentially, he is using her name in an expression common in Argentina similar to Americans' use of "I'm no saint, but ... "
A quick look at a couple of websites (catholic.org and willingshepherds.org) devoted to the saints tell a wonderfully poignant story of a young girl devoted to God:
Imelda Lambertini of Bologna was born in 1322 to an extremely pious family. She learned how to read from the Psalter, and with her mother's guidance, she cared for the neighborhood's poor.
Imelda was just 9 years old when God called her to religious life. She entered a Dominican convent, but her tender age barred her from reciting the Midnight Office, as well as from receiving the Eucharist.
Lonely and longing to be fully accepted by the community, Imelda spent her time meditating and reading about the saints. According to legend, St. Agnes took pity on her and began appearing to Imelda regularly. Since Agnes was martyred at the age of 13, the two little girls became close friends, and spent most of their time together whispering about heaven.
During her first Christmas in the convent, Imelda broke down weeping before the crèche. She had begged her community to let her receive Communion, but according to church law at the time, she had to wait until she was 12 years old.
That spring, on the Vigil of the Ascension, Imelda once again pleaded for the Eucharist, but the officiating priest refused her. Imelda would not take "no" for an answer this time, so she fervently asked Jesus for the grace to receive him.
After Mass, when nearly everyone had left the chapel, Imelda continued to pray. The sacristan noticed a growing bright light above Imelda's head, and within the glow, a eucharistic host appeared.
The chaplain ran forward with a paten, and Imelda finally received the body of Christ. With a rapturous smile on her face and her hands upraised, Imelda instantly died on her knees. Those who tell the story say her heart broke from the greatness of Jesus' love.
Her body never decomposed, and visitors can pray before the little patroness of First Communion at the Church of San Sigismondo in Bologna.

Jennifer Nettles Urges 'CMA Country Christmas' Audience to 'Count Your Blessings'
For her final solo performance of the 'CMA Country Christmas' show on Thursday night, host Jennifer Nettles offered a cover of the inspirational Irving Berlin ballad 'Count Your Blessings.'
The ABC special was filmed not long before Nettles gave birth to a baby boy, and the singer looked beautiful in a tight gown that revealed her baby bump. The song was perfect for the occasion, with lyrics reminding listeners to appreciate the good things in their lives. It also gave Nettles a chance to show off her voice as she sang, "When my bankroll is getting small / I think of when I had none at all / And I fall asleep / Counting my blessings." Midway through the song, she looked ahead to 2013 and offered her best wishes to everyone for the new year.
Nettles had earlier kicked off the show with a Broadway-esque rendition of 'Naughty Would Be Nice for Christmas.' In an interview before the 'Count Your Blessings' performance, she laughed as she spoke about someday being able to show her child footage from this night and tell him, "Your crazy mom went out and did this shortly before you were born!"
Magnus Hamilton Miller was born Dec. 6, 2012.

SANFORD, Fla. - An animal shelter in Sanford rescued 23 dogs on Sunday.
The dogs were found in the home of Richard Orlowske, a former animal shelter volunteer who ran a make shift shelter out of his home called "Save my Tail".
Judy Sarullo told Local 6 she found out 40 dogs were squeezed into crates, four and five at a time, surrounded by feces and without food or water.
The dogs had been living in horrible conditions in Rhea, Tennessee. The man who had the animals was a former animal shelter volunteer who was arrested for animal cruelty, authorities said.
"I would honestly would put him in a cage and let him sit in the same fecal and urine for days, for weeks with no food or water and see what he thinks life is all about," said Sarullo.
The group of pooches arrived at Pet Rescue by Judy at 7 p.m. Sunday. Sarullo and her team heard about the horror through a friend and took in 23 of the dogs, beginning the difficult task of nursing them back to health.
A couple of dogs have broken or fractured bones. Others have hair loss and are malnourished. But with help from the community, Sarullo says she's is certain they'll recover.
"The group's name was 'Save my Tails', but Pet Rescue by Judy will save their tails because they'll be loved, they will be cared for and put in wonderful, loving homes."
Sarullo told Local 6 her shelter will look for the good families they deserve once they're adoptable.
The shelter says they're in need of cleaning supplies, wet dog food and toys.
For more information about the shelter, visit Pet Rescue by Judy's web site.

May 4, 1970: Bomb Scare at Shampoo Queen Show
The biting satire in young Hanoch Levin's play was too much Israelis, still reeling with euphoria three years after the overwhelming victory of the Six-Day War, could tolerate. The audience went to the theater not to see the show, but to protest against it.
The photo is of a cover for a theater program, but the show did not feature any nudity – although it did present its audience with some bare facts – nor is it etched in the annals of Israel's theater history as "The Shampoo Queen."
It opened in April 1970 on the main stage of Tel Aviv's Cameri Theater and closed by the end of the following month, after a mere 19 performances. And yet it remains the most resonant, memorable and vociferous scandal of the Israeli theater, and its echoes reverberate to this day.
Called in Hebrew "Malkat Ambatya," it was a review of satirical songs and skits written by the 20-something Hanoch Levin and directed by his slightly older brother, David Levin. The literal English translation of the title is "Queen of the Bathtub," which was also the name of the longest skit, actually a playlet that almost ended the show itself.

The playlet features an Israeli family, with a domineering Israeli-Jewish mother, a henpecked husband, a pert teenage girl and a precocious boy. There is also a tenant in the flat, possibly a distant relative of the husband ("less than kin"), with whom the family has a long-standing dispute about hot water usage and the payment of the bill.
One day the family mobilizes to storm and conquer the bathroom, and the toilet in its confines. The mother proclaims herself "Queen of Bathtub." The tenant-cum-cousin is left outside the bathroom's closed door. The family is unwilling to negotiate any agreement, bar an unconditional surrender. They bathe around the clock, he soils his pants, and so they could have lived happily ever after, but for the unbearable stench.
If the metaphor sounds to you all too familiar, even if oversimplified and crude, you have to bear in mind that it reflected Hanoch Levin's take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in 1970, three years after the overwhelming triumph of the Six-Day War, when the people of Israel were still reeling with euphoria, relief and a feeling of omnipotence, although soldiers were killed almost every day on the shores of the Suez Canal.
But the skit about the queen and the bath was not the whole story. Young Levin had already made a name for himself as one who sticks a finger in your eye (or wound). In his first anti-war review, "You and Me and the Next War" (1968), he reminded viewers that the amazing victory had exacted a terrible price in young human lives, that there will never be a war to end all wars, and that the next one is just around the corner. He was definitely out of synch with Israel's national mood and had his makeshift stages dismantled under his actors' feet while the performances were still in progress.
Since "Queen of the Bathtub" was to be presented by a mainstream theater company, its text had to be submitted to a public committee at the Interior Ministry for approval. It was duly approved, but some journalists on the committee started a press campaign, paraphrasing bits of text and songs, claiming that performing such a play in such times was harmful to the nation's morale.
Lame efforts to present the whole issue in a wider context, or at least to allow the audience to make up its own mind (a campaign led valiantly by Haaretz), were lost in the ensuing din.
The audience went to the theater not to see the show, but to protest against it. Performances were interrupted by shouts and stones and homemade petards were even hurled onto the stage. Five actors – Tiki Dayan, Germaine Unikovsky, Yossi Graber, Nahum Shalit and Israel Gurion, with a combo led by drummer-composer Zohar Levy – had to hide behind the cut-out letters of the word "ambatya." The hecklers were protesting against songs that were no longer part of the show, and once when shouts erupted as Dayan started to sing a completely "neutral" song about the Air Force, she had to tell them: "Hey, that's not the song you're against. That one comes later..."
After 19 performances (and amid the public outcry and demands to withhold the theater's public budget), the theater management itself decided to close the show down, due to their inability to sustain it on stage. The remaining scheduled performances went on without a word of protest, and even with a measure of applause. I can attest to this, as I was in the house.
Theatre does not, and cannot change reality, although it too often harbors such hope. Israels' reality didn't change that much since 1970. Here is the penultimate song from the "Queen of Bathtub" review of 1970, and it reads and sounds as good as new:
But our Kingdom is whole again
There will come a day
When all our intentions, good and bad
By the flow of time will be drenched,
And even a fart, as it is only a fart
Will be remembered without its art
But one thing will remain: the stench.
But fear not, dear child, sleep on
As our kingdom is whole again,
Most uncles have only one foot to walk on
But our kingdom is whole again,
And all the aunties around the pit
Expect you, child hero, to lay in it,
But our kingdom is whole again.
What will we tell our sons on those future days,
When all the reasons we had ever had
By the flow of time will be drenched?
That we aimed for the best, one heart and hand
And now even we cannot understand
How all that remained is the stench.
But fear not, dear child, sleep on
As our kingdom is whole again,
Most uncles have only one foot to walk on
But our kingdom is whole again,
And all the aunties around the pit
Expect you, child hero, to lay in it,
But our kingdom is whole again.
And in case someone did not get it, here is the last word of Hanoch Levin to his audience in "Queen of Bathtub". Look, listen, and apply, 2013:
Lick, oh brothers, lick
Lick, oh brothers, lick,
Lick your fingers clean
Those which you had not lost
In the wars you had fought in
And if you really want
Your head and tongue still keep
Lick, oh brothers, lick
And go back home to sleep.
"Good night" says the fighter jet
"Good night" answers the canon.
"Sleep well and sweet dreams"
Say the children with their gas masks on
And the chief of staff adds in a whisper
"You and me together, we will prosper."
Lick, oh brothers, lick
Lick your wounds clean
And the day they will heal
You will have new ones to begin
As there is no intention
To spare an arm or a hip,
Lick, oh brothers, lick
And go back home to sleep.
"Good night" says the fighter jet
"Good night" answers the canon.
"Sleep well and sweet dreams"
Say the children with their gas masks on
And the chief of staff adds in a whisper
"You and me together, we will prosper."
Lick, oh brothers, lick,
Lick each other asses nice
That way you at least will be spared
Looking into each others eyes.
Only let the right head
Be stuck in the right ass deep
Lick, oh brothers, lick
And go back home to sleep.

Travis Barker has tattooed his left thigh which is written 'In memory of DJ AM' as a tribute to his late bandmate who died in August 2009.
Travis Barker has paid special tribute to his late pal Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM with a tattoo on his left thigh. The rocker and bandmate Goldstein survived a terrifying plane crash in South Carolina in September 2008, but while the Blink-182 drummer has been able to get on with his life, former drug addict Goldstein suffered a relapse and died from an overdose in August 2009.
Barker has been working on a skin art design tribute to Goldstein for the past few months and he unveiled the finished artwork on his Twitter blog on Thursday, March 4. The tattoo features an angel praying beneath the words 'In memory of DJ AM'.
On another news, Travis Barker reveals his plan for solo album and hopes to release it in June. He told MTV, "There's some stuff on my record that's not going to have a bunch of guitars, that are just straight-up hip hop records. Everything's going be real different. It's going to be really well-rounded."

Okay, I like to write a little intro for all my pages to talk about how monumentally important the subject is. But I don't think I even need to do that here, because anybody with a mouth that eats knows that brunch is important. Because brunch is HEAVEN.
Mimosas, bloody marys, eggs, bacon, roasted meats, cinnamon rolls, luscious fruit salads, beautiful breads… You can serve sandwiches alongside muffins and coffee cake. You get to make all your favorite breakfast and lunch treats in one meal. And you get to serve booze without anybody looking at you funny for drinking champagne at eleven o'clock in the morning. Come on. Why do other meals even bother to exist? Seriously.
Why Brunch at Home is a Problem
The only down side to planning a brunch at home? Because anything goes, you kind of want to do everything. Your poor brain gets overrun deciding between different brunch menus. Do you want to go light and simple or rich and decadent? Do you want a sophisticated brunch menu or something fun and easy? If you're like me, you want it ALL.
You get the best of both worlds with my balanced and sophisticated brunch menu– ideas like a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar make this menu fun, chic, and easy. It combines wonderful savory foods with lots of sweets, light fruit salads, and tasty traditional brunch cocktails.
Looking for some brunch buffet table setting ideas? Everything you need to create a buffet table is here.
Make Your Own Bloody Mary Bar Recipe
No holiday brunch menu is complete without Bloody Marys. Sure, the name is a little violent. And sure, they can be strong. But this sharp, spicy cocktail tastes great with all the sweet, rich brunch food you'll be making– and will get everybody loosened up enough to tell you how much they really love your cooking. This is a drink Mary would be proud of!
One pitcher serves about eight people.
The instructions for setting up a self-serve Bloody Mary bar are below– this is one of the most amazingly fun things to add to a brunch menu. And your guests will go nuts for it, guaranteed.
84 oz. tomato juice
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 oz. lemon juice
10 oz. vodka
23 tsp. Tabasco
2 tbsp. prepared horseradish
salt and pepper, to taste
Garnishes (see below)
Traditional Instructions: Combine ingredients in a pitcher. Serve over ice. Garnish with a celery stick.
Bloody Mary Bar Instructions: Set out glasses with ice, the pitcher of Bloody Marys, and let guests pour and garnish however they like. The more garnish options you give them, the more fun they'll have. Some creative Bloody Mary garnish ideas are:
- Celery sticks
- Stuffed Spanish olives
- Cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges
- Lime and lemon wedges
- Pickled peppers, garlic cloves, and cocktail onions
- Cooked and peeled shrimp
- Avocado slices (sprinkle with lemon to prevent browning)
- Picked asparagus spears
- Crispy Bacon
- Cubes of mozzarella or smoked gouda
Mimosas with Cointreau Recipe
One of the most traditional brunch cocktails? The fresh and delicous mimosa. Oh, how I wish I had one right now.
I think we all owe a kiss to whoever came up with the wonderful combo of morning meals and Mimosas! In this recipe, the addition of Cointreau orange liqueur to the traditional Mimosa recipe gives them something extra special. Don't have any Cointreau and don't want to go out and buy it? Don't worry– they're great without it too. Or sub triple sec… it's cheaper.
Don't leave the kids out of the fun! Make virgin Mimosas for the kiddos by replacing the champagne with Sprite or 7-up.
1 part fresh orange juice, chilled
1 part dry champagne or cava, chilled
Splash of Cointreau
1 raspberry, to garnish (optional)
Toothpick (optional)
Instructions: Be sure all ingredients are very cold.
Fill a champagne flute about halfway with orange juice. Fill it the rest of the way with champagne or cava. Add a small splash of Cointreau.
Spear a raspberry with a toothpick and lay over the mouth of the champagne flute for a garnish.
Crustless Ham and Egg Tarts Brunch Recipe
These are one of the yummiest, easiest brunch recipes to make. Just assemble and pop these little suckers in the oven– then spend time with your guests. Each one is it's own perfect little serving… no need to worry about egg-dirty serving spoons and bits of scrambled egg tumbling onto the carpet.
They're also pretty, impressive, and re-heat well. And are tasty as could be, of course. Recipe make 12 single servings or 6 double servings– scale up or down depending on the potential pigginess of your guests.
2 tsp. olive oil
12 thin slices ham
12 lg. eggs
12 med. cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp. chives, finely chopped
3 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil all cups in a 12-cup muffin pan with olive oil (cooking spray also works well).
Line each muffin cup with a slice of ham. Leave the ends of the ham sticking out over the top slightly.
Break one egg into each ham-lined muffin cup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with one cherry tomato, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and a sprinkle of chives.
Bake 18-20 minutes until egg has set.
Let cool 5 minutes before removing tarts from muffin tins. To remove, run a knife around each muffin cup to loosen. Serve.
Note: Another way to do this easy brunch recipe is using scrambled egg in place of the whole egg. Simple mix eggs as normal and pour into ham cups. You might want to make half of each please all your guests.
Cracked Pepper & Brown Sugar Oven-Roasted Bacon Recipe
This is the star dish of any brunch: the bacon. A brunch without bacon is just… not right. You can make this sweet, spicy, crisp bacon recipe in the upper rack of the oven while your ham and egg tarts bake on the lower. If you've never tried a recipe for oven-cooked bacon, now's the time to start. It comes out crisp, cleanly-shaped (no rolling-folding-flipping bacon "balls"), and absolutely delicious.
Be sure to use a rimmed jelly roll pan unless you want bacon fat to drip and fill your whole house with nasty fat-smoke. Serves 6-8 people.
1 lb. lean bacon, sliced
1 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
2 tsp. brown sugar
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Arrange bacon slices on parchment paper. Sprinkle with pepper and brown sugar.
Bake about 10 minutes. Lots of fat will collect during this time– drain that now.
Return bacon to oven and bake a few minutes more, until it has reached your desired level of crispness.
Remove from oven and immediate transfer bacon slices onto paper towels.
Note: This is also wonderful made without the sugar and pepper– when I want to make plain bacon, I always do it this way. It comes out perfect every time!
Vanilla Challah French Toast Recipe
When making brunch for a group, one of the first brunch menu ideas that will come to mind is classic French toast. Does that mean it's boring? Heck no! The reason it's so popular is that everybody loves it. It's sweet and just tastes like a celebration (I know that sounds cheesy, but… it's true. French toast is an occasion all on it's own.)
This recipe for Vanilla Challah French Toast will blow your current reciperight outta the water, I promise. The buttery toasts are bursting with vanilla and cinnamon– to die for. Serves 10 one-slice portions or 5 two-sliers.
6 lg. eggs
1 1/2 C. whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large loaf of challah bread
Butter or butter-flavored cooking spray
For serving:
Pure maple syrup
Powdered sugar
Instructions: Slice challah bread into thick slices (approximately 1″ thick).
Beat eggs in a large but shallow bowl. Add milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Soak challah in egg mixture for about five minutes, turning once. (It can be easier to use two shallow pans for soaking challah.)
Heat a small amount of butter (the more you use the tastier it will be– but fattier, too, of course. This is your call.) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add egg-soaked challahs and cook 2-3 minutes per side, til nice and brown.
Remove from pan and keep warm until ready to serve. (Or simply serve as you go.)
Serve with butter, warm maple syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Note: To make this brunch menu idea a little easier to organize, slice the challah and make up the egg mixture the night before. Then all that will be left is the cooking!
Pretty Layered Fruit Salad Recipe
With all the bacon and eggs and rich buttery French toast we've included in this special brunch menu, your guests are going to be crying out for something fresh. This pretty fruit salad is just the ticket. It's fresh, light, and delicious.
Plus, it's a great presentation piece layered in its pretty trifle bowl. Feel free to exchange any type of fruit below for one of your favorites– this is a very adaptable brunch fruit salad.
1/2 C. fresh orange juice
1/4 C. fresh lemon juice
1/4 C. honey
1/2 tsp. orange zest
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
2 C. apples, chunked
1 C. seedless red grapes
2 bananas, sliced
2 oranges, fully peeled & sectioned
1 grapefruit, fully peeled & sectioned
2 c. ripe strawberries, sliced
3 kiwis, peeled & sliced
1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint (dried will NOT do here)
1 sprig mint, for garnish (optional)
Instructions: In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and zests. Mix well. Stir in mint.
Prepare fruit and layer into a glass trifle bowl in the order listed. (A glass serving bowl works fine, too.)
Pour juice mix over fruit.
Refrigerate several hours. Garnish with mint sprig before serving.
Note: If you don't like a strong mint flavor, I suggest leaving out the mint, or cutting it down slightly.

It's that time of year again – Back to School! (Insert my children's moaning and groaning here).
The BEST part about Back to School time for me, is buying all the school supplies. I find that the kids start to get excited about getting organized and ready for school when we pick up the school supplies – at least the little one does.

I make sure to pick up all the basics and some of the fun stuff too, and when it comes to the fun stuff, I always choose Crayola products. From the first package of crayons I bought as a new mom for my little guy, until now, with two kids who love to paint and draw and create, I have always preferred Crayola. It's just one of those brands that people trust for quality, including myself – they call it the Crayola Difference.
This is why I was very excited to become part of the Crayola blogger program – me and the brood are big fans. Recently, they sent us a box of goodies for back to school, and we were super excited to check out all their new products and those products that are new to us. Our little eight year old artist got right to it immediately and picked her four favourite products – the Glitter markers, Metallic markers, Watercolour pencils and the scented PowerLines Markers.
So to celebrate Back to School (YES I'm celebrating – Mommy needs some alone time!), I have a fab Crayola giveaway!! One lucky winner will win a great $50 package that includes:

My Reasons for Reporting This

Washington (Oct. 17)
President Roosevelt today branded Argentina's suppression of all Jewish newspapers as "closely identified with the most repugnant features of Nazi doctrine," while the State Department announced that the American Ambassador in Argentina, Norman Armour, has been notified concerning the attitude of the United States on the ban of the Jewish press and has been authorized to convey that information to the Argentine authorities. In a Specially prepared statement, the President said.
"I have been informed that the Argentine Government has suspended the publication of Jewish newspapers, some of which have been in existence for many years. While this matter is, of course, one which concerns primarily the Argentine Government and people, I cannot forbear to give expression to my own feeling of apprehension at the taking in this hemisphere of action obviously anti-Semitic in nature and of a character so closely identified with the most repugnant features of Nazi doctrine. I believe that this feeling is shared by the people of the United States and by the people of the other American republics. In this connection I recall that one of the resolutions adopted at the eighth international conference of American states at Lima in 1938 set forth that 'any persecution on account of racial or religious motives which makes it impossible for a group of human beings to live decently is contrary to the political and juridical systems of America.'"
Asked whether this statement would be officially transmitted to the Argentine Government, he suggested that his questioner put that query to the State Department. Later the State Department announced that the U.S. Ambassador in Buenos Aires will make representations to the Argentine Government. The State Department added that attention will be particularly drawn to the fact that anti-Semitic action has been closely associated in the minds of the United Nations with Nazi doctrine and propaganda.

REBECCA Stars Sierra Boggess & Tam Mutu Announce Engagement!
Sierra Boggess, who will play the leading role of "I" in the upcoming Broadway musical REBECCA, and Tam Mutu, who will co-star as her new husband Maxim de Winter, have announced that they are engaged to be married later this year. Boggess and Mutu met and fell in love in London, while performing in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Love Never Dies.
Based on the classic Daphne Du Maurier novel (and later turned into an Oscar-winning film by Alfred Hitchcock), REBECCA is the story of Maxim de Winter, his new wife ("I") and Mrs. Danvers, the controlling and manipulative housekeeper of Maxim's West Country estate of Manderley – where the memory of his first wife, the glamorous and mysterious Rebecca, still casts a shadow. REBECCA will begin previews Wednesday, March 27 at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street), prior to an official opening Sunday, April 22. REBECCA features original book and lyrics by Michael Kunze, music by Sylvester Levay, English book adaptation by two-time Tony Award winner Christopher Hampton (Sunset Boulevard), English lyrics by Hampton and Kunze, and direction by Tony Award-winner Michael Blakemore (Kiss Me, Kate; City of Angeles; Noises Off) and Francesca Zambello (Little Mermaid). Multiple Tony-nominated director/choreographer Graciela Daniele.
Sierra Boggess ("I") recently starred in London's West End in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies as Christine Daaé, a character which she also played in The Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. She recently reprised that role in the 25th Anniversary Concert of Phantom at London's Royal Albert Hall. Sierra was last seen on Broadway in the MTC revival of Master Class. She also appeared on Broadway as the title character in Disney's The Little Mermaid and in the City Center Encores! production of Music in the Air. Concert appearances: BBC Proms at Royal Albert Hall, Lincoln Center's American Songbook Series, New York Pops at Carnegie Hall and Broadway by the Year at Town Hall. Recordings: Symphonic recording of Love Never Dies and the original cast album for The Little Mermaid.
Tam Mutu (Maxim de Winter) recently received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Anatoly in Michael Harrison's production of Chess, at The Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. Tam was part of the original cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical Love Never Dies at London's Adelphi Theatre, as the alternate Phantom. His work as a member for the National Theatre Company includes Longaville in Loves Labours Lost, the original cast of Anything Goes, South Pacific, and RoyAl Hunt of the Sun. For the Royal Shakespeare Company his credits include Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet and Edmund in King Lear.

You've no doubt heard (or seen) that Kevin recently purchased a Kodak zi6 HD Pocket Cam. This little camera came with Kevin to the CES and I was so impressed with the video quality and small size of the zi6 I ordered one of my very own. It was hard to pass up as it was only $130 on Amazon.
The little jewel showed up today and I've been having a blast playing working with the zi6 doing test video. It blows me away how something so small can shoot video so hi-res and the audio quality is really good. This means that my video reviews will be much better quality going forward. If you need proof just wait for my video review of the HP Mini 2140 netbook which will be appearing soon (as in later today). :)

Angelina Visits Mommy Dearest
Angelina Jolie took the time yesterday afternoon to visit her mom, French actress Marcheline Bertrand, at L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills before leaving the country. (Marcheline is reportedly battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy sessions.) Angelina will be traveling to India within the next few weeks for a reported month-long trip to shoot the upcoming film A Mighty Heart — she plays Marianne Pearl, the wife of the slain Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl. Check out more pictures in the gallery!
Angelina was spotted chatting away on her cell phone in the car after visiting her mom. Brad Pitt was spotted visiting The Ermitage Hotel later on his motorcycle. Funny inset picture, no? (:

Congested crossroads
WORTHINGTON -- Anyone who has ever had to pass through the intersection of Diagonal Road and Oxford Street to get to work or school in the morning can attest to the frustrations of stop and go traffic and motorists who don't wait their turn.
During the school year, student drivers and busses add to the congestion, but part of the problem is hoped to be alleviated by the time the new school year begins.
Nobles County Public Works director Stephen Schnieder received approval earlier this week to create left-hand turn lanes on Diagonal Road at the Oxford Street intersection. The work primarily involves painting lines on the roadway to delineate lanes, although some curb and gutter work may be necessary on the northwest corner of the intersection to make a more pronounced right-hand turn lane.
Schnieder said making improvements at the intersection has been discussed by the traffic and safety committee in the past, but finding the time to get something done was always an issue.
"Sometimes these smaller projects are set aside until we do some bigger projects," he said. "We have some time available because of scheduling of some of our projects, and we can actually do the work that doesn't take up a lot of man hours."
Overall, the cost of the project is expected to be close to $5,000 -- an amount financed by the county because both Diagonal Road and Oxford Street are considered county state aid highways. The county performs maintenance on Diagonal Road north of Oxford Street and Oxford Street west of Diagonal Road, while the city is responsible for the south and east directions from the crossroads.
"This is a low-cost, cost-effective solution to make peoples' lives a little bit safer and easier," Schnieder said. "The intent is to try and move traffic a little bit more. When the public has more delays, they become inpatient and might move ahead a little faster."
Traffic volumes have picked up at the crossroads in recent years because of more development in that area of town and increased traffic coming off Interstate 90.
"As traffic volume increases, you tend to have more accidents," Schnieder said. The Diagonal Road-Oxford Street crossroads is not characterized, however, as a high-crash-count intersection.
In the last decade, Schnieder said 24 crashes have occurred at, or near, the Diagonal Road and Oxford Street intersection.
Worthington Director of Public Safety Mike Cumiskey said his department responded to two crashes at the crossroads during the past year. Neither of those crashes resulted in injuries.
Still, Cumiskey said, adding the new turn lanes will help improve safety.
"I'm sure it will help just to get people to commit to a certain lane usage," he added.
Schnieder said one positive aspect of the intersection is that it is "fairly wide and open." Both of those features will make it easier for crews to establish pronounced turn lanes on Diagonal Road. The county will work with the city to develop a design for the turn lanes on the project, which is expected to get under way sometime in August.
In addition to the added striping at the Diagonal Road and Oxford Street intersection, Schnieder said his department is looking at the potential to add right-hand turn lanes on Crailsheim Drive, particularly at the entrance to Worthington Middle School and where it intersects with other streets.
"We're also looking at similar situations in communities in other parts of the county," Schnieder added. "Traffic volumes are a driving factor in whether we need to do this. In some of the smaller towns, we don't have those higher traffic volumes."

Style Stealer: Julianne Hough Is My Leather Pants Mentor
I bought a pair of faux leather pants a couple months ago, but I haven't worn them much because I can't figure out exactly how to wear them. They're not a super skinny jeggings style, so they look a bit off with baggy tops and tunics, but tight tops don't look right either. Enter Julianne Hough for some style inspiration: I love how she cuffed up her leather pants and paired them with boyish oxfords and a simple sweater. Totally recreating this look for myself. Here's how:

WASHINGTON – The government has approved the first noninvasive brain stimulator to treat depression – a device that beams magnetic pulses through the skull.
It may sound like science fiction, but it creates woodpeckerlike pulses that trigger small electrical charges, which, in turn, spark brain cells to fire. Yet it doesn't have the risks associated with surgically implanted electrodes or the treatment of last resort, shock therapy.
Called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, this gentler approach is not for everyone. The Food and Drug Administration approved Neuronetics Inc.'s NeuroStar therapy specifically for patients who had no relief from their first antidepressant, offering them an alternative to trying pill after pill.
"We're opening up a whole new area of medicine," said Dr. Mark George of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, who helped pioneer use of TMS in depression. "There's a whole field now that's moving forward of noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain."
While there's a big need for innovative approaches – at least one in five depression patients is treatment-resistant – the question is just how much benefit TMS offers.
The FDA cleared the prescription-only NeuroStar based on data that found patients did modestly better when treated with TMS than a placebo treatment that mimicked the magnet. It was a study fraught with statistical questions that concerned the agency's scientific advisers.
For a clearer answer, the National Institutes of Health has an independent study under way that is tracking 260 patients and may have initial results as early as next year.
Quantifying the benefit is key, considering the price tag. TMS is expected to cost $6,000 to $10,000, depending on how many treatments a patient needs, said Dr. Philip Janicak of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, who helped lead the NeuroStar study. That's far more expensive than medication, yet thousands of dollars cheaper than invasive depression devices.
Neuroscientists have been using TMS for years as a research tool in brain studies. Zap a powerful magnet over a certain spot on the head – where motion is controlled – and someone's arm can suddenly, involuntarily, lash out. Beyond the "wow" factor, those magnetized pulses were triggering brain activity.
The question was how to harness that activity in a way that might fight disease. TMS is also being studied in stroke rehabilitation and other brain disorders.
"Nobody thought this would work. It was a crazy idea. I had to do it at 6 in the morning before the real scientists came in," George said with a laugh as he recalled work he began in 1993.
"The brain is an electrical organ," George said, explaining the rationale. "Electricity is the currency of the brain. It's how the brain does what it does."
For depression, psychiatrists aim the magnet at the left front of the head, the prefrontal cortex. Since everyone's brain is different, they first zap the top of the head to find a patient's motor-control region, and then carefully move five centimeters forward. Then, the device beams about 3,000 pulses a minute during a 40-minute treatment, done about five times a week for up to six weeks.
The theory: Stimulating brain cells in the prefrontal cortex triggers a chain reaction that also stimulates deeper brain regions involved with mood.
TMS did prove to be very safe: Patients in the NeuroStar study suffered no seizures or memory problems like shock therapy can cause, or other reactions throughout the body. The chief complaint from the sessions was headaches.

PARIS (Aug. 22)
M. Henri de Kerillis discusses the question of why Germany desires to "internationalize" anti-Semitism in a long article in his newspaper L'Epoque.
The Nazis, Kerillis states, want their allies to have a common enemy with them, namely, the Jews. Secondly, anti-Semitism is a means to break the national unity of democratic countries. Thirdly, Germany regards the "assimilation" of the Jews in England, France, Holland and, to a lesser degree, in the United States as a refutation on her own doctrines of anti-Semitism.
"How is one to explain," he asks, "the important place which a Disraeli occupied in English history? How is one to explain the fact that the American people have again end again elected Lehman as Governor of the State of New York? How is one to explain the fact that Great Britain has entrusted to Hore-Belisha the immense work of rearmament? How is one to explain the fact that the most intimate counsellor of Clemenceau and one of the most far-seeing Ministers of the present French Government is another Jew. M. Georges Mandel?
"Germany," Kerillis continues, "regards these striking examples as well as the no less striking examples of Jewish scientists who are active in all the fields of scientific progress a veritable danger for her ideological doctrines, especially so far as an internal propaganda is concerned.
"The Nazi revolution," he further explains, "not only attacks modern political ideas, but also the modern spiritual world. It wishes to destroy all the moral values of the Judeo-Christian civilization and it believes that the Jewish religion, in particular, is most vulnerable because of its numerical weakness and its general dispersion. To attack the Jewish religion means merely to apply the methods which served the Nazis so well in Germany, namely, the methods of destroying the weakest and the most vulnerable enemies at first.
"Anti-Semitism," Kerillis concludes, "is nothing but a prelude to an implacable war against Catholicism and traditional Protestantism, which are hated as mush as Judaism because they are impregnated with the Biblical spirit and founded by Christ and his apostles in whose veins Jewish blood flowed."

Kedareshwara Vrata as the name indicates is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is observed on the Amavasi or No moon day occurring during Diwali. Kedareshwara Vrata 2017 date is October 19. Earlier, Kedareshwar Puja used to begin on the Ashtami day of the Krishna Paksha of Ashwin month and end on Amavasi day. Now most people only observe the Kedareshwara Vrata on the Ashwin Amavasi day.
Legend has it that Kedareshwara Vrata was observed by Goddess Parvati to merge with Lord Shiva and be part of his body.
Once a Gana (attendant of Lord Shiva) performed puja of Lord Shiva and did Pradakshina or circumambulation of Lord Shiva. The Gana did not do Pradakshina of Goddess Parvati.
Goddess Parvati asked Shiva why the Gana ignored Her. Shiva was in a playful mood and said that those who know the Supreme Being have nothing to do with Parvati and so he did not do the circumambulation of Her.
Goddess Parvati got angry and left Kailash and started living in a forest on earth. She met Gautama Rishi at the forest and wanted to know how to be part of the body of Lord Shiva. Sage Gautama advised her to perform Kedareshwara Vrata.
People observe a fast on Kedareshwara Vrata day. Some people only do a partial fast. This Vrata is observed for attaining Moksha and merging with the Supreme Being.

CHINO HILLS - City officials will host an unveiling ceremony for Veterans Park on Aug. 22.
The event will be held at what was formally known as Crossroads Park at 6 p.m. at 14877 Eucalyptus Ave., Chino Hills.
The 12.8-acre park is divided into two sections by Avenida de las Flores. Crossroads Park North is at Chino Hills Parkway and Eucalyptus Avenue and Crossroads Park South is near Carbon Canyon Road and Chino Hills Parkway.
Replacing the monument sign at Crossroads Park North would have cost $10,000, according to Bravo Signs, the city's sign vendor.
But Frank Fiore of Bravo Signs expressed an interest in creating an enhanced sign that his company would design and install for the city, and contribute the extra cost of about $5,000 to $7,500.
San Bernardino County Supervisor Gary Ovitt's office also offered $10,000 in discretionary funds to be used for a new sign.

On the Issues
How would you balance the federal budget/reduce the federal deficit?
I would reduce the deficit first by identifying and addressing the large amounts of waste that is present within our federal government. We must also reform the tax code and gradually do away with the income tax. www.daltonsenate.com
What steps do you support to reform Social Security and Medicare?
Social Security : cut waste and either raise taxes or cut benefits. There are lots of ways to do both. We are only facing a shortfall of .65% of GDP.
Economist Alice M. Rivlin summarized major reform proposals in January 2009: "Fixing Social Security is a relatively easy technical problem. It will take some combination of several much-discussed marginal changes: raising the retirement age gradually in the future (and then indexing it to longevity), raising the cap on the payroll tax, fixing the cost of living adjustment, and modifying the indexing of initial benefits so they grow more slowly for more affluent people.
Nobel Laureate economist Paul Krugman, deriding what he called "the hype about a Social Security crisis", wrote:rnt[T]here is a long-run financing problem. But it's a problem of modest size. The [CBO] report finds that extending the life of the Trust Fund into the 22nd century, with no change in benefits, would require additional revenues equal to only 0.54 percent of G.D.P. That's less than 3 percent of federal spending — less than we're currently spending in Iraq. And it's only about one-quarter of the revenue lost each year because of President Bush's tax cuts — roughly equal to the fraction of those cuts that goes to people with incomes over $500,000 a year. Given these numbers, it's not at all hard to come up with fiscal packages that would secure the retirement program, with no major changes, for generations to come.
The CBO reported in July 2010 the effects of a series of policy options on the "actuarial balance" shortfall, which over the 75 year horizon is approximately 0.6% of GDP. On a GDP of $14.5 trillion, this represents approximately $90 billion per year; the dollar amount would grow along with GDP. For example, CBO estimated that raising the payroll tax by two percentage points (from 12.4% to 14.4%) over 20 years would increase annual program revenues by 0.6% of GDP, solving the 75-year shortfall.
Medicare: address the fraud waste and abuse in the program and adjust benefits that can be funded without adding to the deficit.
Would you sign a pledge to never raise federal taxes? Why or why not?
No – Nobody knows the future. I would not want to limit our options during emergencies. www.daltonsenate.com
How should health care be reformed?
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, although flawed, is a step in the right direction to providing a basic right...access to healthcare at a level that the government can reasonably fund.
The proper role of the federal government is to protect the citizens of the United States through an affordable national defense and health care system. You can't have a safe country without providing both.
rnI believe access to healthcare is as important to everyone in the United States as a public education. Therefore, it is a proper an necessary function of our government to provide affordable access to healthcare as well as a public education. Neither one is overly socialistic in my view.
What was wrong with the Supreme Court decision?rnThe Supreme Court's recent decision to allow the individual mandate erodes our rights. Like portions of the patriot act, the individual mandate is an unnecessary infringement on our rights. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-393c3a2.pdf)rn2. CHIEFJUSTICE ROBERTS concluded in Part III—A that the indiu00acvidual mandate is not a valid exercise of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause. Pp. 16—30.
(a) The Constitution grants Congress the power to "regulate Commerce." Art. I, u00a78, cl. 3 (emphasis added). The power to regulatecommerce presupposes the existence of commercial activity to be regu00aculated. This Court's precedent reflects this understanding: As exu00acpansive as this Court's cases construing the scope of the commerce power have been, they uniformly describe the power as reaching "acu00activity." E.g., United States v. Lopez, 514 U. S. 549, 560. The individu00acual mandate, however, does not regulate existing commercial activiu00acty. It instead compels individuals to become active in commerce bypurchasing a product, on the ground that their failure to do so affectsinterstate commerce.
Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority. Conu00acgress already possesses expansive power to regulate what people do. Upholding the Affordable Care Act under the Commerce Clausewould give Congress the same license to regulate what people do notdo. The Framers knew the difference between doing something and doing nothing. They gave Congress the power to regulate commerce, not to compel it. Ignoring that distinction would undermine the prinu00acciple that the Federal Government is a government of limited and enumerated powers. The individual mandate thus cannot be susu00actained under Congress's power to "regulate Commerce." Pp. 16—27.
(b) Nor can the individual mandate be sustained under the Necu00acessary and Proper Clause as an integral part of the Affordable CareAct's other reforms. Each of this Court's prior cases upholding lawsunder that Clause involved exercises of authority derivative of, andin service to, a granted power. E.g., United States v. Comstock, 560 U. S. ___. The individual mandate, by contrast, vests Congress with the extraordinary ability to create the necessary predicate to the exu00acercise of an enumerated power and draw within its regulatory scope those who would otherwise be outside of it. Even if the individual mandate is "necessary" to the Affordable Care Act's other reforms, such an expansion of federal power is not a "proper" means for maku00acing those reforms effective. Pp. 27—30.
3. CHIEFJUSTICE ROBERTS concluded in Part III—B that the individual mandate must be construed as imposing a tax on those who do not have health insurance, if such a construction is reasonable.
As simply stated in the above opinion, the government cannot compel me to buy something. Furthermore, Justice Robert's judicial ruling that the mandate is a tax is incorrect. This is another example of judicial activism and the court is overstepping its bounds.
What should Congress do now?rnThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act like any other policy made in a crisis situation is not a perfect plan and weaknesses should be addressed as they are discovered. The mandate itself is a critical weakness because it does diminish our rights. This doesn't mean we repeal the whole act. Congress now needs to work together and address issues such as the individual mandate and continue to improve the act over time.
Whoever calls for a repeal of the act because of the mandate or for any other reason must have an acceptable substitute ready to take its place.
Do you support a woman's right to an abortion?
As your next Senator I will take an oath to support and defend the constitution, which I will do to the best of my ability. I will also uphold laws that are in place.
However,it is irrefutable that human life begins at conception and abortion at any stage is the killing of human life.
I do not condone the killing of human life. I pray that anyone considering to have an abortion reconsider and ask for help. I also pray that everyone, whether or not you condone abortions or not, reach out and help those who decide not to have one. www.daltonsenate.com
In Congress, would you support DOMA or legislation to allow civil unions or gay marriage?
DOMA is a state issue.I support civil unions. www.daltonsenate.com
Should the federal government have a role in K-12 education?
The Federal contribution to elementary and secondary education is about 10.8 percent. This should be given to state governments in the form of block grants. The states should then have total control of the funds without federal government interference. www.daltonsenate.com
What are the benefits of school choice? Vouchers? Should they be available for private and religious schools?
School choice means competition and competition is needed to keep costs down as well as improve the level of education. I believe in school vouchers for private and religious schools -the more competition the better. www.daltonsenate.com
Do you believe climate change is happening? Do humans contribute to it? What should Congress do to address the problem?
Climate change has been taking place since the world began. Whether it is caused by man or not, it must be a major consideration when conducting business or in our daily lives. www.daltonsenate.com
What should the country's energy policy look like?
Reduce our dependence on foreign oil as quickly as possible so it no longer has a significant impact on our foreign policy. No more rhetoric

England lock Courtney Lawes has been ruled out of Saturday's Six Nations clash against Wales due to an ankle injury and replaced in the training squad by uncapped second row Ed Slater.
Lawes has played a part in all three of England's victories in the competition so far, twice coming off the bench, but sustained the injury playing for Northampton against Saracens on Saturday.
Maro Itoje and George Kruis started at lock for England in their last outing, a 21-10 victory over Ireland, but Joe Launchbury should return against Wales if he has recovered from a hamstring injury.
Slater missed the first six weeks of this year with a knee injury and his return for Leicester was delayed when he required 14 stitches to his hand after trying to cut open a frozen bagel for his breakfast in February.
In another change to the squad forced by injury, winger Marland Yarde (shoulder) was replaced by centre Luther Burrell. Uncapped utility back Ollie Devoto returned after recovering from a concussion.
Wales have won two and drawn one of their matches so far in the Six Nations and the Twickenham clash could go a long way to deciding which country wins the competition.
Forwards – Kieran Brookes (Northampton Saints), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Jack Clifford (Harlequins), Dave Ewers (Exeter Chiefs), Jamie George (Saracens), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), James Haskell (Wasps), Paul Hill (Northampton Saints), Maro Itoje (Saracens)George Kruis (Saracens), Matt Kvesic (Gloucester Rugby), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Matt Mullan (Wasps)Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Ed Slater (Leicester Tigers), Billy Vunipola (Saracens), Mako Vunipola (Saracens)
Backs – Mike Brown (Harlequins), Luther Burrell (Northampton Saints), Danny Care (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Ollie Devoto (Bath Rugby), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath Rugby), Alex Goode (Saracens), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby)Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs), Semesa Rokoduguni (Bath Rugby), Manu Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers), Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers).
