What Do Ya Know. Joe?
With the Senate race here in Wisconsin, there really is no need to take an interest in a Senate race in Pennsylvania. There's not much excitement going on with the race here, so why is Pennsylvania important?
Senator Arlen Specter, one-time Democrat, longtime Republican, and newly converted Democrat again, changed parties to save one job-his. Well, it didn't work. Specter was in the Senate for about 30 years, and in the Senate, seniority is everything. Specter could bring home the bacon for Pennsylvania, so keeping him in the Senate would have been in the best interest for the citizens of Pennsylvania. Here in Wisconsin, it doesn't matter because no senator brings home anything. But that's another story.
Considering U.S. history, past and recent, some Webster's definitions seem to be in order.
HATE: intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury.
Barry's In Charge Here
A couple of weeks ago, it looked like the Obama administration was not taking charge of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But recently, President Obama came out and said that he was in charge and the buck stops with him. At first, I found that hard to believe. But after some reflection and looking at the facts, I can now see that the Obama administration was in charge from day one. As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Let's take a look at that pudding.
The oil has been gushing nonstop since at least April 20. There is then chaos and confusion as to how to stop it fast and efficiently. This is certainly the thumbprint of the Obama administration and its agility. Every effort to control this spill has failed. Every idea has been wrong. Sounds like the federal government to me.
I've heard and read the furor of some of the regular readers of this blog. They have taken the time, and the far-too-demanding requirements of the system just to be able to post a comment. I respect all of your comments. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to express some democratic rights and principles. I thank you for your comments. Please know that they are welcomed by me.
I have no control over what comments appear or make the "final cut." Heck, I don't even know how the system works to accept some comments and "deep six" other comments. It seems that both righties and lefties have voiced complaints. Often they see me as the cynical tyrant who expunges their offerings. Wrong! I do not OK or deny a single comment, and I never have ...nor do I intend to do that.
Yes, I know that both Demorats and Republicans stoop to sleazy tactics to win elections. But there is one place where it is easily the worst. And a former president used it twice. The upcoming election in South Carolina indicates that the Republicans there are continuing the sleazo-meter record.
In the 1990's South Carolina presidential primary, George W. Bush hired Lee Atwater to take down John McCain who was gaining in the polls. Bush knew what he was getting. Atwater had used blatant lies to bring down Dukakis with the Willie Horton scare, a total fabrication and deceit.
While we are forced to view and read about the "success" in Iraq, both in the mainstream and right-wing media, we rarely get a glimpse at what is truly happening there. How about introducing some factual information about Iraq and putting things into some true perspective?
"And today, after seven years under U.S. occupation, Iraqis are still without sufficient clean water, electricity, education, or health care. Tens of thousands of Iraqis are disabled, physically or mentally. There are over two million refugees outside Iraq and more displaced refugees inside Iraq; there are three million widows and five million orphans. Fifty percent of Iraqis are unemployed. Children continue to drink contaminated water, and large numbers of Iraqi women are afraid to get pregnant because so many babies are born with severe deformities."

Progressive Dinner Party Planning
Our neighborhhod progressive dinner is Saturday night. Weather forecast calls for scattered showers so hoping we stay dry. We have about 28 people coming for the evening - if the Whitefish Bay Girls Soccer team is playing Saturday night we will lose a few guests during game time. Go Blue Duke Girls! The plans are coming together for a fun party!
I like to coordinate the party decorations with the invitation so have been on the hunt for lanterns. I will decorate the patio with tiki torches and candles too. We are hosting the appetizer portion so will coordinate napkins/plates too. The signature cocktail will be a margarita. We can make pitchers of the mixture before the party. The menu has been divided and each couple will bring a food item and a bottle of wine/beer. Here is how I divided the menu:
The Iraq war and its causes and aftermath has been and continues to be so distorted, that a word from some Iraq war veterans is in order. Silly comments are made by Bush supporters about whether the world would be better with Saddam in charge in Iraq. What a strange question this is after the U.S. supported horrible dictators like Somoza, Marcos, Thieu, Franco, Batista, etc. It also depends on whether you think the United States should follow international law.
The following are direct quotations from the IRAQ VERTERANS AGAINST THE WAR website [www.ivaw.org]:
2009 Referendum Cost Far Lower Than Estimated.
Remember the hotly debated school referendum that passed 9 months ago?
Back in November 2009, Whitefish Bay voted (in large numbers) to approve borrowing $22.9 million in bonds to finance school maintenance and improvements.
***Continuing on a rich tradition of college students protesting actions that are undemocratic, insensitive, war-mongering, greed, attacks on free speech, attacks on academic freedom, etc., I am appreciative and offer my congratulations to the students in Wisconsin protesting actions by Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin. I have written a blog about the actions of Marquette to have a search committee and the University President offer a deanship contract to a professor at Seattle University and then awkwardly withdrawing it after interference from a backward-looking archbishop. The faculty and students are still protesting that stupidity. Good for them.
The University of Wisconsin has announced an increase in tuition again, even during a recession. As a former college vice president, let me be frank and direct in stating that I think many college teachers and professors are remarkably overpaid. Yes, I think that professorships in universities and colleges often are places for lazy people who are not up-to-date and simply lull their way through their teaching duties. Yes, there are many who do not fit that category, nevertheless I think that college faculties are too often overpaid by a wide margin. And the students, many of them from poor or struggling families, suffer. What a shame! We have college professors whose research is being funded by outside corporations, and then these same professors profit from their university research. This money from outside corporations should be used to lower the cost of tuition. More about this in a later blog.
Klode & Parade
Two quick hits:
First, the 4th of July Klode festival needs help.. Your WFB Civic Foundation needs volunteers to run the festival games. Please consider spending an hour helping out, as they have about 95 one hour shifts that need to be filled.
If you honestly reflect back on your race, your ethnic background, etc., you will realize that when it comes to immigration and immigrants, we all stand on wretiched ground. There are so many examples that will fit us, but here are a few to reflect upon:
Jews were immigrants into Europe. How were they treated? There was anti-Semitism from the beginning. And six million Jews were murdered by "Christian" Germans. Yes, there were a few people who fought to save the Jews, but for the most part, it was the viewpoint against the "immigrant" Jews that led to a policy of extermination. Jewish immigrants to Europe resulted in the largest acts of genocide in history.

Juan Mata has been named the Barclays Premier League Player of the Month for October.
The Spaniard has been in excellent form recently and has rightly been recognised after a run of seven goals in as many games across all competitions, including league strikes against Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United, and a string of assists that make him the division's top creator over the past year.
Mata ended last season as the first player to win the club's Player of the Year award in his debut season since Ruud Gullit, and after a summer schedule that included Euro 2012 and Olympic Games duty, he was allowed a short break by manager Roberto Di Matteo before returning to Chelsea duty and forging an effective relationship alongside Oscar and Eden Hazard in behind the striker.
It is the first time Mata has won the award, and he becomes the first Chelsea player to do so since David Luiz in March 2011.
'I'm very grateful for this award. It's very important to keep going and improve because I am still young,' the 24-year-old said. 'The most important thing is the team and I am always trying to do my best to help the team.'
You can hear more from Juan discussing his award tonight in 'Blues News' on Chelsea TV, with his full interview with Pat Nevin on 'Matchnight Live' before tomorrow night's game against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Let's Make History During Women's History
Month - March 2014!
The National Organization for Women New York State (NOW-NYS) is working hard for a brighter future for women in New York.
Women in New York State expect and deserve full equality and NOW-NYS is leading the fight for passage of the Women's Equality Act this year.
In January 2014, the New York Sate Assembly passed the full Women's Equality Act which includes sweeping reforms that will finally ensure true equality for the women of New York. We applaud the Assembly effort!
This legislation protects women's health and reproductive rights, ensures pay equity, combats sexual harassment, and includes stronger penalties for human trafficking.
NOW-NYS is working to make sure the NYS Senate passes all 10 points to ensure women's full equality. The Senate has failed to enact the full Women's Equality agenda, refusing to legally guarantee women's reproductive freedom.We must enact all provisions of the Women's Equality Act because New York's women deserve action guaranteeing every single one of their rights -- not just some of them.
The 10 points of the Women's Equality Act are:
1) Protect a woman's freedom of choice by enacting the Reproductive Health Act
2) Achieve pay equity
3) Stop sexual harassment in all workplaces
4) Allow for recovery of attorneys' fees in employment and credit and lending cases
5) Strengthen human trafficking laws
6) End family status discrimination
7) Stop source-of-income discrimination
8) Stop housing discrimination for victims of domestic violence
9) Stop pregnancy discrimination once and for all
10) Protect victims of domestic violence by strengthening order-of- protection laws
New York helped lead the country over four decades ago -- even before the Roe v. Wade decision -- and with bipartisan support took steps to provide access to full reproductive health. In recent years, that access is being challenged and prohibited in dozens of states.
Please join us by contacting your State Senator and make your voice heard. Let him or her know that we demand all 10 points NOW. Your advocacy will make the difference!
Moving Feminism Into the Future
NOW NE Regional Conference and Elections
April 6, Noon - 6:00 pm
Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY
Join feminists from New York Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine for exciting dialog and powerful films. Panel discussions will be on "What Are the Cutting Edge Issues for Feminists?," "Why Join Coalitions?," and "Building the Women's Rights Movement - Modernizing NOW." NOW President Terry O'Neill will be the main speaker. See flyer for more details including registration information.

Read the fall 2013 issue.
"Great speakers. As a young woman, I promise to continue this fight for women's rights"
This was just one of several positive comments received about NOW - NYS's 2013 annual convention, held November 9, 2013 at the City College of New York.
Some of the women who participated in the 2013 NOW-NYS Convention Powerful group.
Attending the convention were Sonia Ossorio, president of the NOW-NYC chapter, Zenaida Mendez, president of NOW-NYS, and Rachelle Suissa, president of the NOW-Brooklyn/Queen chapter.

NOW - NYS Names Leadership Award
after Dominican Philanthropist
At the 2013 annual convention on Saturday, November 9, 2013, City College of New York, NOW-NYS awarded the first-ever Rosalba Polanco Leadership Award, named after the great Dominican activist who in 2005 was a key organizer for NOW's Second National Women of Color Summit.
Ms. Polanco also revitalized Bronx NOW, with the group becoming the first-ever Spanish-language chapter in NOW history. Indeed, her sudden 2011 passing, at the early age of forty-six, was a blow to the Dominican community, both in NYC and in her native province of Santiago, Dominican Republic, where she also supported a child care center.
Rosalba Polanco believed that the key to solving the many problems confronting the Latino community was in helping women become self-sufficient through creating small businesses, a process through which
these women discover self-worth and self-esteem. The women become politically empowered by knowing their rights as US citizens and residents. Such important values and tools are reflected upon and passed on to families, all of whose members can then contribute to the overall growth and development of the Latino community.
The honorees are former NOW-NYS President Noreen Connell, Young Feminist Task Force Chair Donya Nasser, and Miriam Chico El-Amin, a registered nurse, counselor, educator, and trainer of child care providers.
NOW-NYS Decries Reproductive Rights Omission from W.E.A.; It's Our Body, It's Our Choice!
On June 22, the NYS Senate passed only nine of Governor Cuomo's ten-point Women's Equality Act. This followed passage of all ten points by the NYS Assembly. The point omitted by the Senate was the Reproductive Rights plank, which would have codified the protections of the US Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision(now under constant assault by religious conservatives) for all New York women. National Organization for Women – New York State President Zenaida Mendez was "appalled by the omission. It's our body; it's our choice!" she said. Read the rest of the news release.
More about the Women's Equality Agenda.
Zenaida Mendez President of the National Organization for Women-NYS, was arrested in the state capital on JUne 18, 2013,for demanding that the Women's Equality Act be brought to the floor for a vote.
The National Organization for Women Advocates
for True, Fair Immigration Reform
Immigration affects women deeply as more than half of the almost 11 million undocumented immigrants are women and children. NOW-NYS supports immigration reform legislation that provides a path to citizenship, promotes the reunification of families, includes protections against exploitation in the workplace, and doesn't include fences, walls or border prisons. Read more.
Women Need Access to
Reproductive Health Care!
With only one month remaining in the legislative session, now more than ever, we must tell our NYS Legislators that women need access to reproductive health care. As many of you know, women's rights and specifically reproductive rights are under attack in the War on Women.
The Reproductive Health Act has support from the majority of New York State residents (70%); NYS Legislators need to hear from you regarding this legislation. This act, if signed into law, will improve the health of every woman who resides in New York State, giving her access of contraception and safe and legal abortions without interference from the government.
It will put abortion procedures in the health code where they belong, instead of in the penal code.
Governor Cuomo has stated that he fully supports this legislation and will sign it into law when passed by the NYS Legislature.
Contact your NYS Legislator today and tell her/him to pass the New York State Reproductive Health Act. It's as easy as clicking a few times.

The survey is available as a PDF document or a Word document.
Pass Pay Equity Legislation in New York State
NOW New York State is a member of the NYS Pay Equity Coalition. We are working diligently to make sure that women receive equal pay. The feminization of poverty is an issue that affects women in their everyday lives.
Women continue to make only 77 cents on the $1.00 that their male counterpart makes. It is time for New York State to pass The Fair Pay Act (A-2712/S-3936). This bill has been introduced into the NYS Assembly by Susan John. The NYS Assembly has passed this bill but, it has yet to pass the Senate. Senator Craig Johnson is the prime sponsor in the NYS Senate.

Behind The Elevator Music
Mental Floss writer Ethan Trex has a great piece on its website today about the history of Muzak, one of the most misunderstood and mysterious companies the United States has ever produced. It might be one of the most universally disliked companies as well.
The very definition of bland, stale background music, mentioning the word "Muzak" will get you dirty looks from anyone who takes his music seriously. However, the company has a fairly interesting history. For instance, it was founded by a World War I Army General, George O. Squier. The piece also explains how the term 'elevator music' entered the American lexicon.
As a kid Muzak was everywhere, but I mainly remember being forced to listen to it back in the 1970s at the old Western Supermarket in my hometown of Trussville, Alabama. I'm certain other in my age group share that type of experience.
However, the company I worked for during my first office job out of college had an account with Muzak. This was in the mind 1990s just before satellite radio and Itunes but during the reign of MTV as a cultural force. Muzak, accordingly, went through a period of adjustment updating its image and repertoire for a 'hipper' generation.
You could hear the new Muzak streaming through those little white speakers in the ceiling tiles every stinking day, and, let me just tell you, there is nothing more depressing than hearing an easy-listening version of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze while working in a sterile, office cubicle.
Sitting here thinking about it, I can feel the energy and happiness being sucked out of my system.

"I love the quality of the paper on this card. I also love that it gets my daughter involved in writing the thank you cards. I actually got mine printed without a name so that it could be even more personalized and so that my daughter can practice writing her name even more. I highly recommend this cute card!"
"My kids (while not twins) are only a few years apart and often get gifts at the same time or go to birthday parties for friends together. It is nice to be able to write a joint thank you note from both. I personalized this so that the & symbol became an "and/or" so I could use this also just to thank from one child (figured I could circle their name when it's just from them). They turned out really cute. I wish Tiny Prints had more items that you could put two names on like this, like just regular personalized notes!"
"These are the cutest Thank-You cards I've ever seen. I love them! As with everything else from Tiny Prints they are great quality. You won't be disappointed!"
"These cards were the finishing touch for my sons' Lego birthday party. I did not personalize them. The colors are bright and cheerful and the cardstock is a nice weight."
"It is a struggle each year to find suitable boy/girl twin birthday invitations. There is a dearth of boy/girl twin stationery in the marketplace, unless you want peas in a pod and the like. But with cute designs like this, I can't say that anymore. I was so excited to find this. I love the bright and bold colors on this card."

"Lion" Eyes
Audio Described! helps students with low vision and blindness imagine the visual storytelling of "The Lion King."
A group of young people gathers in a circle to do acting exercises and try on some costumes. A rehearsal for the high school play? Not exactly—it's more like a rehearsal for going to the theatre, as teaching artist Andrea Day prepares students with low vision or blindness for a visit to Broadway's
The Lion King
"It's a folk tale—can anyone tell me what a folk tale is?" Day asks a group of students in the Schermerhorn Program of the New York Institute for Special Education, one of about four schools that participate in
Audio Described!
, an offering of TDF Accessibility Programs.
"It's fake!" volunteers one student.
Another corrects his peer: "It's not so much fake as, like, legendary."
Teaching artist Day has little trouble outlining the story and characters to these young people, most of whom have some familiarity with the Disney movie. But she has her work cut out for her in describing the innovative puppet designs used by director Julie Taymor, in which actors' faces and bodies are as important and as visible as the puppets and masks they use.
A little exercise can help them understand, as Day gets the students on their feet to imitate some of the movements of the puppeteer/actors. But there's nothing like direct contact with the costume and puppet pieces themselves, which Disney Theatricals generously provided to two recent Audio Described! groups: one at Schermerhorn in the Bronx, and another at St. Joseph's School for the Blind in Jersey City, NJ.
Students marveled as they felt the imposing shape and size of Simba's headdress/mask, with its ring of hair creating the look of a mane. One excited student, dubbing this halo of hair "an Afro," eagerly tried the mask on and declared, "I'm Simba!"
Other students had fun operating the head of the Timon puppet by inserting their hand in a hole in its back. "Timon bit me!" cried one nearby student with mock horror, joking about her friend's overzealous application of Timon's mouth.
Speaking afterward, Day—a seasoned audio describer who recently described Grease for the Audio Described!, and who has only seen the Broadway production of
Lion King
twice—says she thinks the students understand the show's visual concepts, and are now ready to sit back and experience the show more directly.
The special challenge of describing
Lion King
is its element of metatheatricality; while sighted audience members can simply delight in the fact that they are seeing an actor play Zazu as well as a puppet Zazu he operates, theatregoers with low or no vision may take a little longer to understand this level of expression—and by the time an audio describer got through explaining this multileveled theatrical effect, the story would have moved several steps ahead.
"You can't say during the show, 'The actor playing Zazu does this,' you have to just say 'Zazu does this,' " Day explains. "It's going to be tricky."
To prepare students to see
, Audio Described! was able to get some of Martin Pakledinaz's costumes so that students could feel the leather jackets and fuzzy sweaters of the 1950s. But since
Lion King
conjures such an exotic, one-of-a-kind world, the cooperation of Disney Theatricals was essential. Using proprietary costume and puppet elements from touring productions of
Lion King
, TDF's Audio Described! was able to give students a firsthand experience of The Lion King before they even attended the show.
It's safe to say that to put on a Simba mask and try on a beaded corset from
The Lion King
would be the dream of many a young Disney fan. For these kids with low vision and blindness, it was a dream come true, and something more—a kindling of their imagination that would make their experience at the Broadway show even more meaningful, memorable and fun.

Question by none 16390 · Sep 19 '11 at 04:32 PM · baby shower gifts
My friend is having her second Paleobabby! We are very excited, but the issue she is having is that most of her friends and family, who are kind and loving people, are sort of forcing a traditional babby shower on her. My friend would like her paleobabby shower gifts to be handmade items and/or gifts of great food like gift certificates to places that sell shell fish, organs, grassfed beef, etc. My friend's main priority is to start her babby off with a HEALTHY foundation of good food and a few quality clothing items and not tons of Carter's rompers.
Unfortunately, my friend's babby shower planners are much more interested in buying what they want to buy for her, and less interested in getting gifts that the paleomama really wants and needs.
How would you let people know, without hurting feelings or making people think you are crazy/weird, that this is what you want (the organs, the beef, the oysters, the awesome handmade Etsy babby items) without hurting their feelings? How do you help people get over their desire to buy cute Target babby shiz that you don't even want?

People want to give something cute. Give them examples of cute things. Baby chicks (so she can eat them later) a bunny (so she can eat it later) a bib that says "my dad's a cave hottie".
Honestly, the closest you're gonna get is this statement: We don't really need anything because we kept the stuff from the last baby. What we could really use is CASH, (be clear not gift cards, or at least gift cards to somewhere you shop. Somewhere they'll actually go, too. ex: Nob Hill/Raley's. They have great organic selection for a mainstream grocery)
Tell them, that if they buy you clothes, you'll have to sell them off to get cash so you can get what you actually need. Can't really put that in the invite, but she can sure as hell tell her mom and sisters, who will likely be giving the majority of the gifts anyhow.
Another idea: Amazon.com's universal wish lists. Anything sold online can be added to it, including steaks from US wellness meats.
She's gonna get a bunch of Carter's regardless. It's how baby showers work.

To be honest, there's a saying for this. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Just like promoting paleo diets to those that aren't ready, you're dealing with an all around losing proposition. Sell off the stuff you can't use (it's not like it lasts long with the speed babies grow).
Also, it's baby, not babby. See: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll-lia-FEIY
Answer by Stephanie H. 334 · Sep 19 '11 at 05:26 PM
There is no nice way to tell people what to give you as a gift. The best your friend can do is register for things she considers appropriate/useful, and then exchange things if she needs to. Or, your friend could ask for a specific type of shower, say a diaper shower, for example, or a shower where no one brings gifts but works together to make a creative gift such as a baby quilt.
It would be, I think, appropriate to let those who ask about gifts know that the family has specific dietary needs and that gift certificates to "insert-name-of-appropriate-store-here" would also be a good gift. Using an Amazon.com registry is, I think, a brilliant idea.
In addition to selling things your friend gets that she can't/won't use, she might consider donating them to a shelter to help other moms and babies who aren't so fortunate.

How about have every bring a gluten free frozen frozen dish to the party for her to put in her freezer for those first sleepless weeks.
You can also have her sign up for a baby registry so she only gets what she wants. I found the baby registry very helpful so we didn't get a bunch of ridiculous plastic toys and instead got what I needed... like a ring sling, muslin blankets, cloth diapers, etc
Answer by CaveRat 3627 · Sep 19 '11 at 05:57 PM
Spread the word that every cute onesie should include the gift receipt. That way you can ooh and ahh at all the inappropriate gifts, then return them later in exchange for babby pemmican. Keeping the ones from relatives who you just KNOW are going to ask about their gift later. :-)
Answer by luckybastard 12603 · Sep 19 '11 at 04:42 PM
i think the in thing now for baby showers, bridal showers and housewarmings are to send out "wish lists" in the invitation. i won't comment on if that is in good taste or not, but it's not unheard of these days and would solve your friend's conundrum quite nicely, imho.
the little paleo stuff that would be very useful for a new mom could be things like fermented clo and butter oil. also, gift certificates to grassfed meat suppliers would also be nice.
Answer by moops 121 · Sep 19 '11 at 11:50 PM
Has your friend considered a blessingway celebration instead of a traditional baby shower? I attended a blessingway this past winter for a Mum expecting her second child, and wanting very much to be connected to her pregnancy and have a natural home birth delivery.
Just mentioning blessingway or saying the party will be "along those lines" will get the guests doing some reading on the topic (as it is not a mainstream event). One of the main points covered on any website is that it's not a party to outfit the baby-to-be in a bunch of cheezy newborn outfits - it's to celebrate the new Mum's upcoming journey and celebrate her. Gifts are appropriate but thought must go into them to be appropriate. Some of us gave the Mum-to-be freezer foods to offset the household work, or generic supplies for when the baby arrived, but there was not a single Target/Carter's/brandname anything brought into the house.
It's "out there" but so is Paleo to most of my the people I've come across in my world who cannot believe I'm happy not eating grains ;-)
Answer by Christa G 846 · Sep 19 '11 at 04:57 PM
In my experience people almost NEVER buy gifts off the registries. They always buy stuff THEY want to buy. Which in my mind is ridiculous. The whole point of a baby shower is the get together with close friends and family and celebrate the beginning of a new life in the world...AND to get the momma and baby things they might need/want. NOT what YOU want them to have or what YOU think they might need. Is it possible for her to talk to the people throwing her shower and tell them what she would like? If they aren't willing to budge on the idea of a traditional shower then I agree with BeingVenus and have them bring frozen meals (gluten free), or at least attempt a registry with natural things she would like for the baby and herself. I think it is at least worth a shot having her talk to the people throwing the shower. They might be willing to bend a little hehe.
Answer by Priscilla 2473 · Sep 19 '11 at 05:19 PM
Realize that even if you make a registry or gift list, you're still only going to get about half of the things you actually want. Also, I've learned a long time ago not to trust my family or friends to give me the food that goes into my body (minus my husband who eats the way I do).
There really isn't a 'tactful' way to guide people into buying what you want.. kinda have to just tell it like it is. If people don't like it, tell them you only want their presence and not their presents.
And keep the receipts!
Answer by Lizzish 3102 · Sep 19 '11 at 06:10 PM
If she communicates her desire for the stuff she will really use (not in the invitation, but on the registry, which she can tell people about if they ask), then she stands a chance of getting at least a couple of the things she wants, from her close friends. Her great-aunt Margaret is still going to buy her a bunch of cheap overly-gendered baby gear from Target, though. That's just how it works. What's her address? I'll knit that babby a loincloth better than anything on Etsy.

Christopher Dumler says he may be a lot of things, but guilty isn't one of them.
"I remain confident, had we gone forward to trial, I would not have been found guilty of what I was charged with," said Dumler.
In October of 2012, the 27 year-old was charged with one count of forcible sodomy. In January, he made a deal with prosecutors and plead guilty to a misdemeanor sexual battery charge.
"We can talk about what evidence might have come forward at trial and we can speculate a lot. At the end of the day, I made the decision, it was not worth an additional $45,000, a year of my life, my inability to perform my duties in the us military, and all these collateral consequences that are associated with the criminal process. It was not worth those, for me to follow this through to what I'm certain would have been an acquittal."
Dumler is also saying he wanted to avoid a public trial airing out some embarrassing dirty laundry.
"The incident in question that led to the legal difficulties that I find myself in currently, started when I made a decision to go home with a woman, sleep with her, who I had been social with in Scottsville previously."
Although Dumler maintains his innocence when it comes to the forcible sodomy charge, he says he does take some responsibility.
"I've learned the hard way that I need to be more courteous to people I have close interpersonal relationships with, and quite simply, my behavior, my actions in this particular instance were wrong, and I'm sorry for that."
Dumler goes on to explain what exactly he is sorry for.
"The illegality, or legality of my actions not withstanding, anytime I do something that causes someone hurt or distress, obviously I've done something wrong and that's what I'm sorry for. by virtue of my actions, or by virtue of her reaction to my actions, she obviously upset, obviously distressed. That was never my intention. I never wanted to hurt anyone and all I can say to her was my actions were inappropriate and I'm truly truly sorry."

Should you pay employees for rest and meal breaks? Are you even required to offer such breaks? We all need rest and meals during work hours and the law stipulates standards for these breaks, including whether your employees should be paid for them. Here's what you need to know: Federal Wage and Hour Laws Under the Fair Labor Standards Act of the U.S. Department of Labor, non-exempt employees can take short breaks (although it's not mandatory). A short break is typically considered to be 20 minutes or less, and employees must be...

If your business interacts with consumers via email or on the web, then it's likely that you have an online privacy policy that governs how you collect, use and store consumer information. But do you have policies or guidelines that govern how your business uses social media to engage and interact with your followers? Social media opens up new avenues for communication and engagement with consumers, but it also brings with it an element of risk. For example, perhaps your employees have access to social media at work, or are posting on...

Whether you are entering into a relationship with a customer, a vendor or an independent contractor, contracts are a fact of business. You need them because they serve as legally valid agreements protecting your interests. But aren't contracts laden with legalese? Don't they have to be blessed by an attorney to ensure their validity? Not always. In fact, I've seen contracts come across my table that are less than one page in length, in plain English, and still legally binding. How? Generally, to be legally valid, most...

You can count on it, just like clockwork: when a new federal program or interface or system is put in place, someone is going to try to squeeze some extra cash out of people who want to use it.

Earlier SSC already performed the AFF (Autonomous Formation Flying) Early Harvest experiment (see http://www.prismasatellites.se/aff-early-harvest.aspx). The previously gained experience was now used to improve the performance for the completion of the AFF experiments performed on April 06 – 13.
Starting from a safe formation with a maximum horizontal distance (z-component) of 100 m and a maximum vertical distance of 100 m (y-component) MANGO's approach towards TANGO was introduced. First a reduction under less than 50 m took placed in horizontal as well as vertical distance, while the mean along-track distance stayed almost unchanged close to 0 m (see Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Along-track (x:=blue), vertical (y:=green) and horizontal (z:=red) distances during one day of AFF-completion
After several little changes and successful formation keeping maneuvers over some days, demonstrating the flexibility of the system (e.g. see Fig.2) finally on the 12th of April the cross-track and radial components (y and z) were reduced until completely gone, thus a highly unstable and dangerous formation was acquired while the along-track distance was further reduced down to 15m (see Fig. 3).
Fig. 2: Keeping of the formation until 09:00, reconfiguration & back-reconfiguration (09:00-13:30), and keeping again until 16:00.
Fig. 3: Close approach down to 15 m 3D-distance.
After reaching the required close formation of less than 15 m 3D-distance in the early morning hours of April 13 quickly a stable formation was established and SSC was happy about the successful completion of their AFF experiment.

Great food!!! – I love this place. It is always good. They give you more food then Benihannas so the people that say this is not as good there right it's better! We always go on our birthdays and sometimes just to go. I am going tonight. I give this place a 10
Great Japanese Steakhouse – I have been going to House of Genji for over 10 years now and absolutly love the food there. If you're looking for a great Fillet Mignon with a twist - Genji is your place. The meal starts out with a salad then a great bowl of missho soup followed by rice, vegtables and shrimp with the the main course coming last. With the main course you get two dipping sauces - ginger sauce and mustard sauce. They're mustard sauce is absolutly delicous and is one of the things that differenctiates Genji from the chains. I'm not sure where they get their meat from but the quality is excellent, rivaling some of the larger top steakhouse chains. I have heard others complain about some of the seafood dishes but as this is a steakhouse and you really have to order their specialty.
One thing that Genji could use is a major makeover - the place has not changed in over a decade and the carpet and walls are worn beyond what they should be. One other thing that I have a issue with is that they started adversiting on TV about their free birthday dinner which brought in a lot of less desirable people. What I mean by this is that large groups of people will get together for a birthday dinner and get drunk and rowdy making the place seem a little less sofisticated.
Hands down this is the best Tepan Yaki place in the area, Bennihanna is just a chain and doesnt even come close.
Never again ..... – I ended up at House of Genji because Benihana was already booked for the evening and we had the itch for some teppanyaki. I can't even tell you how disappointed I was!
Not only was the decor awful (nothing authentic looking about it), but with what they charge for the food, you would think they could at least paint the baseboards.
The food was below average and everything tasted like soy sauce. The only thing you can use to compare this place with Benihana are the menu prices. Benihana will win everywhere else hands down.
groups at genji – This place is really fun with a big group of people, less so for a date or romantic evening. The food is good, and they make excellent mudslides
Not anything special – I just went to this restaurant and must say that there was nothing special about this restaurant, it's just another typical teppanyaki place. For the money, I would rather have gone to Benihana.
The food was good, ambiance was ok.
Overall, if you want teppanyaki go to Benihana.

Mistletoe Man
China Bayles Mystery
Susan Wittig Albert - Author
In this "intelligently plotted and deliciously descriptive tale" (Publishers Weekly), national bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert tells the story of a woman's search for justice—and of her struggle to reconcile the demands of her business with the desires of her heart…
Former big-city lawyer China Bayles worked hard to make her Texas herb shop, Thyme and Seasons, a success. Now business is booming at her charming new tea room, Thyme for Tea—but China is too distracted to revel in her latest entrepreneurial triumph. When she's not trying to spend more time with her new husband and stepson, she's worrying about her best friend, Ruby, who just hasn't been herself lately. To further complicate matters, China has to round up a supply of mistletoe, the season's most popular herb. It seems an easy enough task—until her chief supplier turns up dead…
From Chapter One:
The first thing you notice when you step into Ruby's shop is the scent. She burns a different incense every day, and the fragrances mix and mingle in an indescribable aroma that clings to the books and other items even after you've taken them home, a lingering reminder of your visit to the Crystal Cave. She also plays a different kind of music every day-Native American one day, whale songs another. Today it was Celtic, and the haunting melancholy of harp and flute filled the scented air.
Ruby doesn't open until ten, and early morning is a good time to catch her doing her housekeeping: restocking bookshelves, straightening merchandise, dusting the crystals and wind chimes, bringing her account books up to date. Today, I found her at the back of the shop, near the curtained dressing-room alcove where she hangs the hand-painted tops, gauze skirts, scarves, and crazy hats that her customers love. She was dressed in one of her usual eye-catching outfits-a slim, shapely ankle-length black silk skirt and a loose, cowl-necked velveteen top, painted with galaxies of glittering stars-and was standing in front of the full-length mirror, admiring her reflection. Since Ruby is six feet tall in her sandals, there's a lot of reflection to admire, especially when she puts on high heels and frizzes her orangey-red hair, adding several more inches to her already Ruby-esque stature.
I stood and watched, unobserved, while she turned in front of the mirror, running her hands over her breasts and down her hips, smoothing the velvety fabric against her body. As I watched, she did it again, and then again, the gesture of a woman who takes a healthy pleasure in the shape and feel of her body. But there was nothing sensuous or sexy or even graceful about the way Ruby was touching herself. Her movements were jerky and nervous, and in the mirror her face wore an odd, lost look, vulnerable and apprehensive. It was unnerving to see Ruby when she wasn't charging around like a dynamo, fueled by her usual self-confidence and whiz-bang kinetic energy.
"Hi," I said tentatively.
Ruby gave a startled yelp and whirled around. "China! II didn't see you." Her voice was scratchy and she blinked rapidly.
"You were busy seeing yourself," I said. "That's a very nice outfit." I stepped closer and stroked her velveteen sleeve. "Touchable, too."
Ruby jerked away as if my fingers were hot.
I dropped my hand. "Sorry."
The bright red in her cheeks contrasted oddly with her gingery freckles. "I thought I could have a little privacy," she muttered testily. "I didn't expect somebody to just walk in on me."
Privacy? That was my issue, not hers. And I had never thought I was just an ordinary "somebody" in her life.
"Maybe I'd better back up and start again," I said, stung. "This time I'll knock." I took two steps backward, thinking that maybe we should go back even further, to the point before we became partners. If Ruby was going to be annoyed by a little thing like my coming into the shop unannounced-
"No, that's okay," Ruby said. She took a deep breath and pasted on an artificial smile. "So what did you want to ask me about, China?"
"Excuse me," I said. "I thought we had planned to get together this morning and talk about money. You know-the green stuff that pays the bills and keeps the tearoom going. We were going to make some projections."
Ruby's phony smile slipped, and I saw the lost, vulnerable look again. "Oh, right. Money." She straightened her shoulders, repaired her smile, and became suddenly businesslike. "Well, then, come on. Let's get to it.''
People may think Ruby is a flake, but one of the things I've learned since we became partners is that she has a hidden talent for organization. I followed her to her mini-office, which is tucked compactly behind a bookcase. She sat down at the small table she uses for a desk, and I perched on a stool, watching her. She took out the ledger and the checkbook and put them on the desk, and I saw to my surprise that her hands were trembling.
"Ruby," I said, "what's wrong?"
"Wrong?" She hesitated, then looked up at me, widening her eyes and offering that counterfeit smile. "Why does something have to be wrong? Can't a person take a good look at herself in the mirror without somebody giving her the third degree?"
"The third degree?" I gave a short laugh. "Is that what you think this is?" I worked as a criminal defense attorney before I moved to Pecan Springs, and I was pretty good at interrogating reluctant witnesses: The more disinclined they were to tell me what they knew, the more determined I was to get them to cough up their secrets-one way or another. Faced with the challenge of Ruby's denial, I could feel some of the old instincts kick in. Anyway, Laurel had encouraged me to find out what her problem was.
"Come on, Ruby," I coaxed. "I'm your partner, remember. And your friend. Something is gnawing at your insides and making you very upset. You know what you always tell me-if you don't let it out, it'll just grow bigger and bigger until it consumes you."
A look of something like fear crossed her face and she sucked in a deep breath as if I'd hit her. For a minute I thought she was going to fall apart; then she stiffened. "You have no right to cross-examine me," she snapped. "I'm not under oath. I don't have to bare my soul to you."
"I just hate to see you so disturbed about something you're not willing to share," I said truthfully. Ruby may be volatile, but she doesn't usually stew about things, or bury them deep inside her. When something's bothering her, she talks about it. And talks and talks and talks. I have never known her to keep a secret-especially her own-for more than about thirty seconds. Ruby's mouth tightened and her green eyes blazed. She banged her fist on her desk. "So now this is all my fault!"
"Of course not," I said, trying to defuse her anger. "It's nobody's fault. It's just-" I stopped. I didn't like the way this conversation was going. It might be better to walk away and come back to it later. But if we didn't confront the problem now, the eventual eruption might be even worse.
"It has something to do with us, doesn't it?" I said quietly. "You're upset with me because I don't spend enough time with you now that McQuaid and I are married. And you wish we hadn't gone into business together"
She hesitated, biting her lip. I leaned forward, hoping that she was deciding to be honest with me. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and said, "If it had anything to do with our partnership, I'd let you know, wouldn't I?"
"That's a non-denial denial," I said. I was no longer coaxing or cajoling, I was commanding. "Be straight, Ruby. Tell me what's going on."
She rubbed her arms as though she were trying to get her circulation going. "You don't have to be confrontational. That's no way for a friend to act."
"I'm not being confrontational. But there's no use trying to deny it or sweep it under the rug. Something is on your mind, and it's affecting the way you act. Why, even Laurel has noticed."
"Laurel?" Her voice rose. "What business does she have poking around in my affairs?"
"Forget Laurel," I said. "Directly or indirectly, this thing has to do with us. I need to know what's going on."
Ruby uncrossed her arms and took a deep breath, drawing herself up with great dignity. "Do you really want to know what's going on?" She didn't give me time to answer. "What's going on is that you're pissed off. You're mad at me because for once, I won't let you intrude into my private life." She balled her hand into a fist and thumped the ledger. "I'm telling you, China, back off!" And with that, she burst into hot, angry tears.
Instinctively, I reached forward to put my arms around her, but she turned away, shaking her head hard, rejecting me. The back of her neck where the hair curled looked fragile and vulnerable, and I longed to comfort her. But all I could do was sit there, stunned by the violence of her weeping, by her fierce dismissal. It was hard not to be angry with her for behaving so irrationally.
After a moment, though, I began to calm down. Although I had no idea what Ruby's problem was, I could certainly understand her insistence on keeping it to herself. After all, personal privacy has always been important to me, and I have my own ways of fending off assaults on my personal space, of defending myself when circumstances seem to close in around me and threaten my security, even my identity. Right now, I could only respect Ruby's way of dealing with whatever was bothering her. The best thing I could do was leave.
Still, if I had known what was eating away at Ruby-if I could have reached past her anger and her fear to the dark and secret thing that was hidden deep within her-I would have folded her in my arms and held her until there were no more tears. And then I would have held her even harder, and never let her go. Never, ever. For the thought of life without Ruby is well, unthinkable.

I visited three different foreign education agents in Ahmedabad before and got rejection for Canada Student Visa for all three times. I finally came to Winny. And guess what, I got a Visa! Winny is truly the best place to go to for a Canada Student Visa. Mihir J Patel 07 February, 2013
I am so happy I picked Winny as my Overseas education Consultant. I am very impressed with the service they provide. There are many different departments and all of them are expert in their area. Ruchita Vadher 23 January, 2013
When I joined Winny IELTS classes I had no confidence and was very shy to talk in English. But the teachers here gave me confidence and motivate me to talk in English. I am very proud that from a level of 5, got 6 bands overall in my IELTS exam. Dhaval Patel 16 January, 2013
I visited many foreign education consultants before I reached to Winny, Most of the consultants didnt have exact knowledge about Canada. But after talking to Winnys counselors, I found that they were just excellent. They were so expert and informed with all the latest updates that I decided then and then to have my process through them. I got my visa within a week and flying to Canada in August. Thank you so much to entire staff of Winny. Binil Shah 21 December, 2012
I have been rejected twice while putting my file from unathorized agent in Ahmedabad. After that I heard in radio and television that there is only one, Canada government recognized CSIC consultant in Gujarat. I went there and realized the difference between other agents and Winny. It was all well organized and were separate department for all processes. I applied through Winny and got my visa within 7 days. Thanks Winny, You made my career. Utsav Patel 12 December, 2012
