Melissa's refreshing summer fruits
Sweet Young Coconuts
The Sweet Young Coconut is traditionally used and noted for the large amount of water it contains. The water is sweet and delicious right out of the shell. It contains a sweet pudding-like flesh that is delicious right out of the shell as well as in fruit salads and custards. Sweet Young Coconut lacks the husk of the well-known coconut. The easiest way to enjoy the water is to carefully pierce one of the "eyes" on the coconut and insert a straw…then enjoy the delicious coconut water as a refreshing drink. Once the water is done, you can crack the shell and enjoy the flesh too.
Originally introduced in the mid-19th century to the U.S., this ancient fruit has been familiar in Japan and China for thousands of years. These tiny citrus are bright orange and shaped like an egg. They are completely edible. The sweet, thin rind offsets the tart flesh. They are great as a snack or even candied. Kumquats are generally available year-round with a few gaps in growing regions. Kumquats are best when kept refrigerated. They should have bright skin with no blemishes. They are very low in calories and have about 50 calories in a 3½ ounces serving. They are also an excellent source of Vitamin C.
Kiwano Melon
Also known as the African horned melon, this very interesting piece of fruit contains a lime green, jelly-like inside with the texture of a cool cucumber. The taste is a subtle combination of cucumber, banana, melon and lime. The outer shell is spiky golden-orange and is often used as a serving dish filled with fruit salad, dip or other delicious recipes. Kiwano melons are also used to create exotic tropical drinks or delicious sauces for seafood, poultry and vegetables. Kiwano melons last for several weeks without refrigeration. Once they "give" to the touch, they are ripe and ready to eat. Do not store them near apples or bananas, as these fruits will shorten their shelf life. They are low in calories with only 24 calories in 3½ ounce, and contain more potassium than a banana. They are also high in Vitamin C.
Passion Fruit
Passion Fruit originated in South America, most likely Brazil. Now, passion fruit is grown worldwide. Passion fruit comes from the passion flower, which is a beautiful tropical flower with a wonderful fragrance. Passion fruit is generally purple, but can also be golden, and has a jelly-like golden flesh, filled with soft edible seeds. Passion fruit looks like an egg, with a thick, hard shell that gets wrinkled as it ripens...the more wrinkles, the better the fruit will be. Contrary to popular belief, passion fruit is named for the bloom of the passion fruit flower. This bloom is thought to symbolize various parts of the Passion of Christ (such as the crown of thorns and the nails of the crucifixion) and not because of passionate powers it was once believed to contain. Passion fruit is generally eaten fresh but may be cooked for use in sauces and fillings. Simply halve the fruit and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon. Passion fruit can be purchased with smooth skin for use later, or with wrinkled, dimpled skin for immediate use. The more wrinkles, the better it will taste! Passion fruit can be frozen once the flesh is removed from the shell. It is best stored at room temperature. Passion fruit is very low calorie with about 18 calories per medium fruit and contains vitamins A and C.
Organic Black Seedless Grapes
Melissa's Organic Black Seedless Grapes are grown in a micro-climate vineyard in Central California. These organic black seedless grapes are grown specifically to produce a better-tasting, larger-sized grape than conventional black seedless grapes. In order to ensure consistent production and high quality fruit, our growers go through a labor-intensive process of hand pruning, cleaning and harvesting. The grapes are grown on high trellis systems which allow the grapes to get more sunlight for better growth and sugar levels. Black Seedless Grapes are delicious in fruit salads or eaten as a healthy snack anytime. They are great for kids because they are seedless and offer plenty of vitamins A and C. They are also a great low-calorie treat with less then 70 calories per cup. Try freezing them for a real treat!
Lychees are round, beautiful rosy red to dark brown colored fruits, about 1-2", encased in a thin bumpy shell. They are sometimes referred to as 'Chinese Cherries'. Lychees are considered a good luck fruit and are often given as gifts during Chinese New Year. The inside resembles a peeled grape and the taste is phenomenal! Lychees taste like a mixture of honey, strawberries and Muscat grapes. Lychees also have a large, inedible seed inside, so use caution when eating them. To eat a lychee, just crack the shell gently with your hand or teeth. Remove half of the shell and pop the lychee flesh into your mouth (or serving dish). Be sure to remove the seed. Lychees are delicious as a snack, in fruit salads, as a garnish or in stir-fry. They are best when purchased and eaten immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Store them in a plastic bag with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Lychees are low calorie and have very little fat. They are a good source of potassium and an excellent source of vitamin C. Lychee is said to help relieve coughs, and is being tested by The Cancer Institute for activity against tumors.
Sprite Melon
Sprite Melons are a relatively new variety of melon available in the commercial marketplace. They are grown exclusively in North Carolina and are available through the summer until September. These melons are smaller melons about 4-5 inches in diameter. They look similar to miniature honeydew, with a taste that is incredibly sweet! The sugar content in a sprite melon is about 5% greater than in other melons. Sprite melons are generally crisp when eaten, but always sweet, unlike other melons that are un-ripe when they are crisp. Sprite melons are great in fruit salads or for dessert by themselves. Sprite melons are low calorie, about 110 per melon. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and have no fat or cholesterol. Store sprite melons at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate. They are best when eaten with 2-3 days of ripening.
Champagne Grapes
These tiny grapes are actually a Zante Currant (also known as Black Corinth) variety that is seedless. The name stems from Greece where they were grown and very popular over 2000 years ago. These miniature grapes grow on vines in clusters of as many as 300 grapes! It is believed that champagne grapes get their unique name because of their California usage: draped over a glass of champagne or wine as an edible garnish. They are a very sweet grape in which the entire cluster is edible, including the small stems. They are generally eaten as is, and are often dried to use in baking and cooking (currants and raisins). Any way you eat them; these are delicious and unusual grapes. Champagne grapes should be washed before eaten. Keep them stored in the refrigerator for longest shelf-life and eat within a few days for best taste. Grapes are a good source of potassium with about 65 calories in a three ounce serving.
Saturn Peaches
Saturn peaches get their unique name because of their unusual shape: they are flat and round, looking like the planet Saturn. Saturn peaches are a white-fleshed peach, with a semi-free stone in the center. They have a beautiful blush on the velvety outer skin and a deliciously juicy inner flesh. They are great eaten out of hand for a snack, and are delicious eaten in pies, desserts or fruit salads. They are a very sweet peach and are only available for a limited time in July. Saturn peaches should be stored the same as other peaches; Keep at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate a day or two until eaten. They are best when eaten immediately. Peaches are low calorie and have no fat or cholesterol.
Also called Custard Apple or Custard Fruit, this delicious heart-shaped fruit is a delicacy in the exotic fruit arena. They are a hand-pollinated fruit, which makes them a time-consuming commercial crop. However, since they are grown in so many areas now, supply is not a problem. The flesh of the cherimoya is cream colored with large black inedible seeds. They have a flavor similar to a blend of strawberry, mango and pineapple. To eat one, simply cut it into wedges and spoon out the creamy flesh while discarding the seeds. They are generally eaten as is, but they can be used in drinks, fruit salads or desserts. Cherimoyas should be kept at room temperature until ready to eat, and can be stored in the refrigerator once ripe for a few days. Cherimoyas are not a low calorie fruit, containing about 94 calories per 3½ oz. serving. They are also a source of vitamin B and fiber.
Asian Pears
Asian pears are thought to be a cross between an apple and a pear, when actually they are closely related to a pear. They taste very similar to a pear, but resemble an apple, which is where the name derived. There are hundreds of varieties of Asian pears available today, making them available just about all year around. They are delicious eaten out of hand, firm and crunchy with plenty of quenching juice. Asian pears are great on fruit platters, in salads, in pies, or desserts, or where ever you may use an apple. Most Asian pears will last about 30-60 days when refrigerated, but it is always best to eat as soon as possible. Store them in the refrigerator, wrapped carefully so they will not bruise. Most apple pears are handpicked and individually wrapped to prevent any bruising in shipping. Asian pears are a good source of Vitamin B and potassium. They are also low in calories (about 44 per 3 oz.) making them the perfect snack.

The video may take a minute to show up, but it will be there.
For the first time Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton share the stage in Unity…New Hampshire. The tiny town of Unity, NH (Pop. 1,530) hosted this gathering. It is not the smallest town in NH….Erving's Location, NH has a population of 1 resident. I know that is off-topic but interesting.
Hopefully this rally will unite the party and put Barack Obama in the White House!

I lurk in a lot of chatrooms below articles in on-line newspapers, particularly the Guardian, and for quite a while before the vote it was clear that a win for Leave was very possible. One thing you can say for on-line comments: Anon isn't afraid to say exactly what s/he thinks and s/he did. -- I wasn't one hundred per cent certain that Leave would win, but I thought there was maybe an 80/20 chance that they would. The result, therefore, was depressing but no surprise. -- It was bleakly funny to see film of the appalling Johnson and Gove running about, pursued by film crews, as these supposedly intelligent 'educated' shysters clearly had no glimmering that their clever little plan was going to go horribly wrong -- but never mind, they won't suffer for it.
I believe the result is part of a periodic social-political ebb and flow: the book 'Fate of Nations' by Colinvaux describes them. In the past it led to revolution and also the rise of the Nazis. I think we should be very afraid: especially if we're part of any group that could be used as a scapegoat.Susan Pricehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-85017642233078472372019-02-18T10:08:57.766+00:002019-02-18T10:08:57.766+00:00At this stage, I'm desperate to read your book...At this stage, I'm desperate to read your book for two reasons: it's gonna be great ... and your fictional dystopia would be far more entertaining than the reality we're living in now.Candy Gourlayhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-9975623628204377232019-02-18T09:47:10.340+00:002019-02-18T09:47:10.340+00:00Thank you for offering a glimmer of hope as the da...Thank you for offering a glimmer of hope as the darkness of Brexit descends.

I don't think any book is completely without the author's feelings about anything. I don't know if it's even possible. The thing is not to hit the reader over the head with it, something we agree on. It's why I still love Lord Of The Rings, which is very religious, but can be read without noticing that, and am not comfortable with Tolkien's friend Jack aka C.S Lewis's work. Also religious and unless you're a child you do notice it! Sue Bursztynskihttps://email@example.com

Families with international connections face complex questions
PUBLISHED: 12:52 27 June 2017 | UPDATED: 12:52 27 June 2017
England has an increasingly international and mobile society and Surrey reflects this national trend.
Many people from other countries find themselves living and working here either temporarily or on a permanent basis or have settled in England following their marriage. Surrey is a lovely place to live and bring up a family but where one or other of the parents has links to another country this can bring particular legal challenges for that family if the marriage breaks down, both in relation to financial outcomes and issues relating to children.
Every country has different divorce laws and different ways of dealing with financial matters on divorce. Some countries can be more favourable to one spouse than the other and this can have a huge impact on the financial outcome for the parties. England has a reputation for being one of the most generous countries for a weaker party to divorce in. As the main breadwinner or the wealthier of the two you might find it to your financial advantage to bring divorce proceedings in another country if this is an option open to you. Conversely, if you are a non-working wife you may do well to divorce in England.
In these circumstances it is essential that specialist legal advice is obtained from the outset and before alerting your husband or wife to the possibility of there being divorce proceedings, to establish where you are likely to get the best result, as in some circumstances it can be essential to get in first with your divorce petition in order to claim the jurisdiction of the English courts (if you have been advised that England is the best country for you). Different countries treat the capital claims in different ways: if one of you has inherited capital, for example, the extent to which this is treated as part of the family financial pot and taken into consideration on divorce varies from country to country.
Different countries have very different attitudes to maintenance claims too. For example, in France maintenance is only awarded in extreme circumstances and even when it is, it is not at a very generous level. In England, by contrast, maintenance is commonly awarded and it can, in certain circumstances, be awarded for life.
Following a marriage break down it is common for one of the parties to wish to return to their home country with the children. This is not straightforward: if the other parent will not consent, then the parent and children cannot leave England without first obtaining an order of the court. These cases can take many months to resolve and need very careful planning, to be very clearly evidenced and researched and sensitively dealt with. Once again advice from a solicitor specialising in this area is essential.
International family law is a complex and specialist area. Penningtons Manches has recently produced two reports on this topic. The first features our international spousal maintenance barometer, showing where countries sit on the scale between dependency- where judges are more likely to award maintenance - and self-sufficiency, where a focus on financial autonomy is more common. The second deals with applications to remove children from the country.
For advice on divorce and relationship breakdown please contact Veronica Gilmour in the Guildford office of Penningtons Manches on 01483 411481 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wu Yi, the 68 year-old popular vice-premier who has developed a reputation as the government's go-to person in a crisis, will head talks with US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson this week, the Wall Street Journal reported. Wu is China's most senior female official and will lead the talks that will include six other US cabinet-rank officials and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The talks are the first round in a new strategic dialogue to improve US-Chinese relations. The challenge for Wu, who has been Beijing's face on a number of issues ranging from infectious diseases to movie piracy, will be to resolve trade tensions with China's biggest export market. "She has enormous credibility with the Communist Party, the government, the general public and the foreign businesses," said Chris Murck, the Asia head of public affairs firm APCO Worldwide.

The FRAPA Analysis Service provides a comparison between two formats to judge if one format could be seen as a copy of another format.
This service is a world class facility using the FRAPA analysis methodology overseen by acknowledged experts with decades of experience in all parts of the format business.
Courts of law can be unpredictable when it comes to formats and copyright and are swayed by many different considerations in format disputes. FRAPA's Analysis Service looks at the heart of the matter – is one format an (unauthorized) copy of another?
Please note that the Format Analysis Service can be an important but only one step in proving the ownership of your work. Within this service we do not compare the formats with already existing formats. At the moment there is not a worldwide library of registered formats.
The analysis can be used in court and the value is in the comparison of the key elements of formats.
The FAS is available for members only. For information about the service, conditions and additional costs please contact [email protected]

British Dragons celebrate at the 90th anniversary regatta along with 20 other nations and 140 travelling Dragons. The International Dragon 90th Anniversary Regatta powered by Paul & Shark got underway in spectacular Italian style on Sunday 6th October at the Yacht Club Sanremo, with a gala opening ceremony at which the 162 participating teams were welcomed.
Dragon sailors and friends of the class have travelled from across the globe for this unique celebration of the Dragon's illustrious 90-year history, and the regatta is already infused with a wonderful sense of fiesta.
After the first qualification races Britain's Mike & Monique Hayles' Naiad sailed superbly to lead Fleet A while Ireland's Daniel Murphy and Brian Goggin topped fleet B.
Anniversary Race
The Anniversary all-inclusive race was a fantastic display of International Dragon sailing. The Dragon is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful one-design keel boats in the world, and the spectacle of 150 Dragons coming together on a single start line to celebrate the class's 90th Anniversary was truly a visual delight. The special course with a three mile beat to the first mark was followed by a down-wind leg featuring two reaches and then a run into the finish. With a north easterly breeze of around 12-15 knots Benedikt Gach sailing GER1216 got a good start, hit the left side of the beat and sailed superbly well to head the fleet at the first mark. Jens Rathsack in MON2 Jeanie rounded the first mark 100 yards behind him with Ron James helming GBR633 Fei Lin's-Flirtation at the head of the chasing pack.
The afternoon continued with the 'special races' which were dominated by British Dragons. Laura Dillon helming GBR770 Storm took the Ladies win and David Hall's GBR617 Flame Again were awarded first place in the Family race. A close finish in the Champions of Champions race saw Russia's Dimitry Samokhin take first ahead of Mike Budd's GBR818 Harry. It was a fantastic day of racing for Ron James' GBR633 who took the Master's title and Tim Saunder's SCYC Dragon Vixen who came in 2nd.
The Classic race was won by Aleksei Zigadlo RUS21, Charlotte Ten Wolde NED435 was the youth race winner and Casper Dohse's team onboard GER1151 took first place in the crew's race.
The hundreds of participating crews will live on in their memories for many years to come. The regatta concluded in spectacular style with two glorious final races in an 8-10 knot sea breeze and a prize giving party that matched both the Dragon and the Yacht Club Sanremo's renowned reputations for warm hospitality and exceptional camaraderie.
Grant Gordon of event sponsor Glenfiddich, who also raced the regatta at the helm of GBR820 Louise Racing finishing ninth overall, paid tribute to all the very many people who helped make the regatta happen. "Sanremo did our Class, arguably 'the world's greatest classic one- design keelboat', very proud. There was a wonderful atmosphere throughout the whole of the Dragon 90th regatta. Thank you to all the volunteers and organisers for an unforgettable event."
In the Classics Fleet, for planked wooden Dragons built prior to 1972, first place went to Ivan Bradbury sailing GBR375 Blue Haze, a beautifully restored and maintained 1959 Pedersen & Theusen, which also finished 26th in the overall classification.

MNC are excited to present – Balance and Motor Control from James McLoughlin.
Course Tutor: James McLoughlin (B. App. Sc. (Physio), MSc (Clinical Neuroscience), PhD
APA Neurological Physiotherapist)
James is an experienced Neurological Physiotherapist with degrees in both Physiotherapy (UniSA) and Clinical Neuroscience (University College London). James has also completed a PhD in balance and gait at the University of New South Wales.
He describes himself as 'a great scavenger of information ' and is passionate about providing the best care and support for his patients, in addition to providing relevant neuroscientific and clinical education for health professionals, patients and carers. James has conducted over 25 professional development courses since 2009 and has been an invited speaker at 13 different local, national and international clinical and research conferences.
Course Description: B&MC is a 2-day clinical reasoning course that blends together the best bits of movement neuroscience, neuroplasticity, motor control theory, musculoskeletal, vestibular and neurorehabilitation knowledge – and applies it to human balance!
We know that balance is fundamental to human motor behaviour and performance. This unique professional development course draws upon a diverse selection of information from neuroscientific and clinical evidence to provide very useful clues for any clinician working in any area of physical rehabilitation.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to;
- To review balance control, postural control and motor control and discuss examples of overlap between these systems.
- Review and expand on theories of motor control in relation to skill acquisition and balance control.
- To outline the principles of neuroplasticity, with specific application to learning strategies that aid balance control.
- To update functional neuroanatomy – central nervous system (CNS) in relation to balance control, spatial awareness and motor learning.
- To use examples where the CNS integrates various sensory inputs including visual, proprioceptive, vestibular and auditory information.
- Explore and observe various movement strategies used to maintain balance.
- Outline evidence for advanced training strategies to improve balance, spatial awareness and various forms of dizziness in a variety of different patient populations.
- Explore common scenarios where things can impact in humans – weakness, posture, dizziness, sensory loss, pain, perceptual, mechanical and psychological factors.
- Give examples of the elite professional – how good can it get? What does it teach us?
- Use a checklist for observations of balance strategies in all clinical populations – when common outcome measures aren't adequate!
- Rejoice in their readiness to apply Balance and Motor Control principles when super coaching their patients.
Suitable for: Qualified physiotherapists with a special interest in neurological and vestibular rehabilitation.

Preheat the grill to medium high, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled.
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken
This fusion of poultry and pork, with a vegetable herb stuffing, is a great way to build flavor from the inside out.
IngredientsServes 4
Put the Portobello mushrooms and onions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and onions, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Lay the seasoned mushrooms, stem-side up, and onions on the grill. Grill mushrooms and onions four to six minutes per side.
Remove both from the grill, chop roughly and splash with balsamic vinegar. Set aside to cool completely.
Cut into the side of the chicken, creating a deep pocket inside the breast, with caution to not pierce through or butterfly the meat.
Gently, but liberally, stuff the chicken with cheese, followed by grilled veggies.
Lay three to four bacon strips per breast on a cutting board, one next to another with no spaces.
Place the stuffed breasts over the bacon strips, tightly rolling and wrapping the chicken.
Insert water-soaked toothpicks through the bacon, securing the wrapping.
Grill for 15-20 minutes over indirect heat, rotating every 5-7 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Pull the chicken from the grill, set on a cutting board, tent with foil and allow to rest for three to five minutes.
Plate, serve and enjoy!

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone will recognize this mark found on a pair of gold earrings. These pictures were taken in haste. I won't have a chance to see them in person for awhile, and would like to verify the full name of the maker beforehand. I've searched the forums for possible answers, but am wondering if there's any way to search the hallmark listing. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Old 97s - House That Used To Berate me
Do you wanna wind up in a graveyard?
Like a number on a scorecard.
They're gonna wrap you up in corn silk
They're gonna cry like you were spilled milk.
You'd better take another Quaalude
And get yourself corkscrewed.
I understand that you got cold feet
But why'd you have to take 'em down a side street?
I must be dumber than a spit curl
Ôcause I got hung up on a showgirl
Now I look like I'm a scarecrow
I might as well go on a talk show
And this ain't home anymore
ItÕs just four walls and a floor
Home is where you get the goods for free
This is just the house that used to be
Yeah the house that used to be
You're gonna wind up in a graveyard
Like another girl who co-starred
They're gonna wrap you up in corn silks
They're gonna cry like you were spilled milk
And in the far off wail of freight trains
And in the lonely howl of Great Danes
I hear the girl I lost forever
I hear the girl I lost forever

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Adds A New Challenge Tomb DLC In November
Conquer The Forge alone or with a friend.
Earlier this year, Square Enix announced a DLC roadmap for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which includes seven monthly DLC packs that will each bring a new Challenge Tomb, weapon, outfit, skill, and side mission to the game. The first of these, The Forge, will release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 13. It's included as part of the game's season pass (priced at $30), but you can also purchase it separately for $5.
The Forge is a lava-filled Challenge Tomb that tasks you with climbing a rotating tower. In our time playing through the tomb, we came across plenty of pitfalls and explosive gas vents that sent us to an early grave on a few occasions. Using the same gas vents to propel ourselves around on swinging pendulums was a clever twist on the obstacle. Reaching the end granted us a Grenadier skill, used for crafting grenades.
We played through The Forge cooperatively, and in fact five of the seven DLC Challenge Tombs will be playable in co-op. When playing in co-op, both players see themselves as Lara Croft and the second player as a side character. In this case, the second character was Kuwaq Yaku villager Abby. Each DLC ties its challenge tombs in with a side mission and character, lending the puzzle-solving experience a narrative hook.
Each tomb can also be revisited in Time Attack and Score Attack modes. The former records your best times completing the tomb, while the latter sees you collecting wisps of light and shooting glowing lanterns to increase your score. These modes will also be made available for the game's existing tombs.
Starting in November, each of the seven Challenge Tombs will release monthly. All are included in the season pass, and six will be available to purchase individually. The final tomb, and the only one requiring you to have finished the game's main story, will be made available to season pass holders only.

After reading If I Were President with class, students wrote in their journals how they would change the world for the better. It was interesting to read their ideas on how the world could improve.
These are some of our wishes to change the world:
- If I could change the the world, I would change the malls into parks so that we could play all the time. I would make more football stadiums so that the football players do not have to travel a lot.
- I would not change anything about the world. I like the world how it is. I like everything about it except the prices. I wish the prices were lower.
- To make this world a better place, I would not little at all. I would not call people names either. I would tell people not to hit or not to be mean.
- I would change the world by having a machine that would pick up trash. I would pick up trash. I would grow plants and trees.
- If I were President, I would make a law that there would not be any pollution. There will be more trash cans where you are. So the Earth would be pollution free!
- I would paint the world so it is more colorful. Then the would would not be all the same. It would be more playful and more fun. There would be lots of love and not smacking and no drinking bad drinks so the would is not bad.
- I would lower tax movey because we pay a lot of money. And we can't live like that, but we need a reason to pay so much money.
- If I were President, I would send a note to the people who make laws. It would be about smoking and drugs that are really bad. You do not want loved ones to die by smoking or drugs. If I got a veto, then I would keep sending it until they accept.
- I would teach kids to do cursive. I would clean the world to be spotless. I would tell poepl no weapons.
- If I could change the world, I would make sure that there is no smoking or drinking. Because poepl do die because of it. It is very sad because it is there fault that they died. They need our help.
- I will feed that school healthy food. So the students can be healthy. And to be strong. I would have people treat each other nice.
- If I could change the world, I would help peace and no war. I would make a law that if anyone gets caught trying to kill, they will be executed. I would also make a law for no smoking.
- If I chould change the world, I would not. I would only change one thing, no fighting. Other than that, the world is fine.
I love seeing the world through the eyes of a 3rd Grader :)

Laughing Stock: Laff's and Tears, Plus New Mics
Linda Ray
May 16, 2018
Flip Schultz headlines Laff's Comedy Caffe shows Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19. In the feature slot is Arizona comedian Jill Kimmel, who probably wishes we would all stop mentioning that she's Jimmy's sister. Although she's performed sketches on her sibling's show, she's compiled her own solid credentials in top comedy clubs and at U.S. military bases throughout Europe and the Middle East.
Flip Schultz' destiny was ordained at age eight when his comedy set swept the voting at a summer camp talent show. This was no fluke. He had for years made the rounds of family gatherings, bar mitzvahs, senior centers—wherever he found an audience.
At 18, he won the first open mic contest he ever entered. His commitment to standup survived college and a degree in theatre. He has since performed in comedy clubs throughout the world. Per his bio, he is now especially "sought-after" in Scandinavia. Yes! We feel cooler just typing Scandinavia.
John Stringer headlines and Jimmy Earl opens on Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26. The Sunday, May 27 show has sold out.
Stringer brings some trademark Austin weirdness to the Laff's stage. His comedy is accessible, high-energy, physical and loud-ish, reflecting a singular resistance to maturity.
Jimmy Earl's name and coloring conjure the Ozarks and secret sausage recipes, but he often introduces himself as a Filipino from Canada. Humor ensues, often revolving around his family's unique cultural mélange.
Laff's shows are at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets are $12.50 and $17.50 via laffstucson.com.
Jennifer Finley at Laff's Comedy Caffe.
On losing the beloved Jen Finley
Few things focus the attention like a bald comedian onstage with a feeding tube, but even laid low with cancer at 32, Jennifer Finley was crazy funny. She joked mainly in one-liners—original, twisted, unique and, whenever possible, shocking. Tucson comics were united in love for her and inspiration they took from her commitment to comedy. Literally from her deathbed last week she made jokes for those gathered to say goodbye. There may never have been so much laughter at a funeral. Thanks, Jen.

Appleâs case is built much tougher than any of the competing models. The silicone is virtually indestructible [** not quite — see update below]. The Lightning connector is also tough: rather than tiny wires arranged in a crimped metal shell, the Lightning connector is machined out of a single billet of stainless steel. It doesnât bend, it wonât break, and the wires canât get ripped off of it.
The case offers really good protection for the phone, with a solid lip around the front edge to prevent screen scratches. Itâs also thinner than any of the other cases.
Integration with the OS is simpler than with the other cases (e.g., Mophie). In those, you charge the case, and when the phoneâs battery is low, you press a button on the case and itâll recharge the phone over the next few hours. On Appleâs case, the power management is taken care of for you: the case discharges first, and keeps the phone at 100% for a long time. Once the case is depleted, then the phoneâs battery will start to drop. One advantage of Appleâs solution is that you canât accidentally press the âchargeâ button with the phone in your pocket. This has happened to me a few times, and you end up with a discharged battery as a result.
Some people have complained about the blocky appearance. Well, itâs not hiding the battery, for sure! But none of the other cases are either. This one ends up still being thinner than the others, even if it does look a bit blocky. But honestly, most of the time the phone is sitting face-up, or in my hand, and I donât think about the hump. Itâs a non-issue.
Most regular headphone cables wonât fit, because the socket is very deep and youâll need a short cord to extend the plug socket. I have plenty of these from my previous cases, but Apple really should include one.
It took a bit of hunting around to find where I could view the battery status. You have to pull down from the top of the screen and go to Today (*not* Notifications). I re-ordered them so that âBatteriesâ was at the top. If the phone is locked when you plug/unplug it, then the status will also flash (briefly) on the lock screen. It might be useful to put an indicator on the status bar â right now it usually says 100%, which is accurate, but not entirely useful⦠itâd be nice to see the combined charge, not the charge of just the phone.
While not as large a capacity as some cases, that's an academic issue: the battery capacity is large enough that if I start with both the case and phone fully charged, I have never run out, even with many hours of tethering, downloads, videos, and so forth.
If you have any questions, ask below and I will answer them!
** Update: After three months of usage, this remains the best battery case I've ever used. Specific things I like are:
o I have never run out of battery during the day, and charging it back up always works reliably. No broken connectors.
o It's tough: I drop my phone plenty, and in this case, it just bounces. The thick lip has prevented any screen scratches, though I use a thin plastic protector too.
o With the Mophie etc. cases, there is a button on the back, and if you accidentally press it during the day, it'll drain the external battery. No button means that can't happen here. Integrated power management works great.
o I like using the 'Today' slide-down notification: give you status of three batteries at once (Phone, External, and Watch — plus any other bluetooth devices you have connected).
By three months in, all of my Mophie, Anker, etc. cases had either cracked, bent the micro-USB connector, or had their charging circuits go out. This case is still looking and working like new. (Mine is white, and I notice no discoloration, for what it's worth… silicone is pretty inert as far as stains go.)
The only minor issue I've come across is that the case's lip is deep enough that the some "swipe from the edge" gestures don't register properly (e.g., app switcher). This affects any case that has enough coverage for the screen, so it's hard to complain about.
** Update #2. I've now been using the case for about 8 months. The silicone is starting to chip off around the edges. In particular, at the top corners, the silicone has come off completely, and you can see a few millimeters of the yellow hard plastic underneath it. This only affects appearance for now, but I bet that within another six months, it might get to the point where it needs replacing. I haven't contacted Apple about it yet, though it seems like the sort of thing they should replace under warranty if it gets much worse. (I don't live near any Apple stores, so I can't easily take it in.)
As far as charging and functionality, the case remains great. I have noticed maybe three times where sliding on the case seemed to cause a phone reboot, which another reviewer mentioned too. But that's been infrequent enough to not be a bit deal.
** Update #3. At 11 months, I took the case into the Apple store to show them the silicone chipping. They were reluctant to replace it ("The warranty only covers the electronics, not cosmetic damage…", they said) but eventually they did. I've now had the replacement case about 6 months, and it's starting to chip off as well. Most of the damage is near the upper front corners, where the case gets stretched taking it on/off. If you need to take the case off frequently, you probably don't want to buy this one. For me, it's not that big a deal, but means I need to be a bit more careful. That being said, this case is STILL far stronger than any other battery case I've had, and the battery and connector have had zero problems, and I've never once run out of power during the day in 18 months. But I'd dock it half a point (to 4.5/5) because of the durability of the silicone.
** Update #4. I'm on my second case. After 9 months the silicone is pretty heavily chipped on this one as well, just like the last one. The frame is visible and parts are starting to fall off. I walk a lot and the case is almost always in my pocket, so I'm sure the abrasion is just wearing it down. It's no longer under warranty. I'm going to repair it with some silicone adhesive as best I can. The charging still works great. I only wish the case was a bit thicker & more abrasion resistant it was carried around in a purse or bag (rather than a pocket) it would be in better shape than mine.

This thing is clever because it uses the external battery first, then the internal battery. It does more with less capacity since it's not trying to charge the iPhone from the external, the phone intelligently draws from the external case and then internal. Plus you can check the level in the control center but it will solidly double the life of your iPhone 6/6s.
There are three charging modes, depending on what amperage of charger you are connected to.
Mode 1: 10 Watt or more: Both external battery and phone charge at the same time. This is fastest!
Mode 2: 5 Watt (default iPhone cube charger): The phone charges first, then when at 100%, the external battery charges
Mode 3: USB spec (500mA, 2.5 watts) The external battery doesn't charge and the phone is maintained at 100% once charged. Also car stereo USB ports and computers.
So if the external battery doesn't seem to be charging, you're probably plugged into a stereo, cheap charger, or a computer USB port. Plug into a quality 10 watt++ charger like the iPad charger or Anker IQ charger and it will be topped off in no time.

1) Fits the iphone 6 perfectly.
2) Good ergonomic balance within your hand while typing, despite the added weight.
3) Sits nicely on a flat surface as the protruding battery on its back surface is well centered.
4) Though the texture and feel is that of a silicone case, insertion and removal out of the trouser pocket is easy (a good relief for men users!).
5) Separate charging of the battery case: light indicator is clear and nice.
1) The 3.5mm Audio jack placement is a problem. Your regular audio jack cannot go in well, and pulling it out is difficult.
2) Charging while phone is already in the case: Atleast for iphone 6, the information about the extent of charging is not as clear as mentioned in the package insert. It does not show charging details in notification (as mentioned in small print), but is seen in the search menu when you swipe to left, When charging pin is plugged in, a quick 2 second message appears displaying the charging status (image attached). This message only appears if you insert the lightening pin in the 'locked' state of the phone. It does not appear if you plug charger in while using the phone. The time for which the message stays is to short, and takes a while to learn to read it quickly.
3) When using the phone with the case on, there is no way to start or stop the charging process unlike many other juice packs. that way, for several hours, you would see your phone showing 100% battery, with the charging sign on. It would have been nice instead to have a button which would turn the charging process on or off.
Suggestions for Apple:
1) Have a button to turn on/off the charging
2) Have better indicators of charging status when charging the phone with the case on.
3) Make 3.5mm Audio jack insertion simple

What's Cooking
Lunch at Eiffel Tower Restaurant—a Killer View, Outstanding Cuisine and Reasonable Price Points
It's certainly no secret that Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris has one of the best views of the Vegas Strip and the Fountains of Bellagio from its vantage point 110 feet above, but a well-kept secret is the reasonably priced weekday lunch and weekend brunch menus. Many items are the same on both, like the Cold Foie Gras Torchon with duck prosciutto, fig compote and brioche; Ocean Seafood Salad with Alaskan King crab, lobster, shrimp and French cocktail sauce; and Lobster Benedict with creamed spinach, asparagus and hollandaise sauce. The brunch menu served Sat. & Sun. from 10-3 has some additional breakfast-like items like Luxury French Toast with foie gras and Flat Iron Steak with free range fried eggs, mushrooms and Yukon gold potatoes. Hopefully you'll have saved room for dessert, as the Crème Brulee with fresh berries is perhaps the best rendition of this classic dessert I've ever experienced and comes in a large enough portion to serve at least two.
Excellent service has been the standard since the restaurant opened in 1999 and Arianna Domingo is a prime example. She has been with the restaurant for four years in a variety of roles, including reservationist, host and back waiter, and for the past year has held the position of server. As to why she likes working at Eiffel Tower she says, "It's very family-oriented and we have a killer view. The staff is really close and we hang out together after work."
Lunchtime dining at Eiffel Tower is not only family-oriented but offers prices much lower than you would expect, with most appetizers ranging from $12-$18, entrees from $15-$22 and the "killer view" is free.
To learn more about the man behind Eiffel Tower Restaurant's cuisine, see Leah Schmidt's Chef Spotlight on the illustrious Chef Joho on page 10.
SUGARCANE raw bar grill Now Serving Daily Brunch
The placard at the entrance to Timon Balloo's SUGARCANE raw bar grill at The Venetian says "In Las Vegas every day is the weekend," so it's only fitting that the Miami-based restaurant would extend its weekend brunch to a daily occurrence. Served from 10-4, 11 dishes are offered, several of which, like the rest of the restaurant's menu, reflect global influences. The Duck + Waffle is similar to the one served at Balloo's London restaurant named for this dish, and shows a French influence with crispy leg confit, duck egg and mustard maple. The US is well represented with Fat Boy Hash—sunny side up eggs, bacon jam, potato hash brown and truffle hollandaise. Oxtail Benedict features slow-roasted oxtail, poached farm egg and sherry hollandaise. Truffled Toad in the Hole is a fancier version of a breakfast my wife makes me that we call "egg in the bread," with a sunny side up egg in the middle of brioche enhanced with melted robiola cheese, truffle oil, honey and black truffle. Avocado Toast is as the name implies, and is a simple but elegant dish with additions of charred corn and whipped goat cheese. Each of these brunch menu items are a complete meal and are priced very reasonably from $11-23, with most around $12.
Be sure to check out the boutique rum collection of 132 rums from 20 countries from all over the world. There's a wide range of prices, like the Appleton 50-yr. $1,500, but also some very reasonably priced excellent values like the Dos Maderas PX 5+5 10-year-aged rum from Barbados that I enjoyed.
Finish your meal with Torrejos—dulce de leche soaked French toast with maple caramelized apple; or Peanut Butter S'mores Cake with marshmallow ice cream and candied almonds that looks so great you will need to take a picture of it before diving in.
Sonoma Cellar Steakhouse Reopens After Full Renovation
Sonoma Cellar at Sunset Station celebrated its 20-year anniversary with a significant renovation, and reopened in July with an updated décor and menu. The original architecture mimicking the look of a wine cellar has been maintained, with curved stone arches and ornate ornamental ironwork throughout. New additions are large elegant, decorative mirrors, which help open up the space; an updated color scheme of light gray and white with cream colored chairs and emerald colored booths; and an expanded bar space that has doubled in size.
Louisiana-born Chef Britt Beeland is showing some of his Southern background with new menu items with Cajun touches, including Fried Green Tomatoes, Crab Dip, Pork Belly with grits which Chef described as "like a Southern breakfast" and a dish I hadn't enjoyed since the 1970s: Frog Legs. But this version was unlike any I had back in the day, with a corn flake crust, crème fraiche, Buffalo coating and dill
dipping sauce.
Other new additions are Crab Cocktail with white remoulade, Penn Cove Mussels, Steak Tartar, Bone Marrow, 4-way Beet Salad, Buratta & Tomato and 2.5 lb. Maine Lobster with crab supreme and lobster caviar. In addition, the steakhouse is now sourcing some of its meats through Niman Ranch, and all meat is aged in-house. A special bar menu is served nightly and special happy hour pricing from 4-6 p.m. daily offers deals on Chipotle Rubbed Steak Bites, Blended Slider, Spicy BBQ Shrimp, Frog Legs and Crab Dip.
As the name implies, there is a serious wine list here, and the 250 wines are stored in an actual wine cellar. The wines hail mainly from Napa and Sonoma and the restaurant has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in each of the past five years.
Another new upgrade that caught my attention was an expanded Whiskey Library with 55 choices of bourbon, rye, American whiskey, blended malt whiskey and single malt. Some excellent representatives are the Hachstadter's 16-year rye, Old Rip Van Winkle Special Reserve 12-yr., Weller Special Reserve and Oban 14-yr.
The new Sonoma Cellar appears to be more elegant with the lighter shade bringing a brighter and more cheerful atmosphere, and the upgrades to the dinner, bar and spirits menus make it worth rediscovering this old Vegas gem.
Therapy Introduces New Menu Items
Chef Talen Lancaster continues to shine as one of our city's most talented up-and-coming chefs as the Executive Chef of Therapy, the gastropub located at 518 E. Fremont St. in the Fremont East Entertainment District. Chef recently updated the menu and new items include Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad with roasted baby beets, pistachio, balsamic and basil; Sliced Chimichurri Steak made with a 12 oz. certified Angus flat iron beef with charred scallion chimichurri sauce topped with fried onion strings; Roasted Chicken—crispy 10 oz. chicken breast served with roasted corn, mushroom, caramelized pearl onion and roasted jus; and Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding topped with caramelized bananas, house-made banana sorbet and salted caramel dipping sauce made with Therapy Whiskey.
Speaking of the Whiskey, it was made for Therapy by the local Nevada H&C Distilling Co. Named Smoke Wagon, its mash bill is 36% rye, 4% malted barley and 60% corn and is a blend of 8-year-old and 4-year-old aged whiskey. It's available exclusively at Therapy and sells for $13 a shot, $99 for a 750ml bottle or $13 in cocktail form, such as the St. Therapy made with St. Germaine, peach and raspberry Grand Marnier, grapefruit fruitations and mango.

Let's face it. We live in the age of technology.
Things that were learned through books, lectures, and hand-written practices when we were kids are now being learned through games, apps, and videos by the kids of this generation. Even their leisure time is spent differently than ours.
For ADHD kids, this digital age can be extremely beneficial to them. Instead of fighting it and complaining about how much time they spend on their devices, we, as parents, can actually use that tech time to our advantage. We can change our perspective and start finding great ways to help them WITH technology!
Here are some of my favorite apps for kids/teens with ADHD. They all boost learning capabilities and help the student stay busy enough to absorb information.
They're great! (And parent-approved)
Great app for 4 to 6 year olds: Endless Reader
Cost: FREE (for the basic version); upgrades can be added
Available on: Apple and Android devices
Endless Reader is a spelling/reading app for younger kids that allows them to learn sight words in hilarious ways. The game turns letters into monsters and asks the player to place the letters in the correct order to create specific words. It's super simple, the noises are interesting, and it's constantly moving to keep kids on their toes.
Of all the kid's apps in the entire world … this is my very favorite one! My daughter loves it (she's four and a half) and it's set up perfectly for kids with ADHD. The colors, the monsters, the sounds, the movement … all of it together is the perfect concoction for teaching ADHD kids how to read.
Great app for 7 to 9 year olds: Numbie: First Grade Math
Cost: FREE
Available on: Apple and Android devices
This is one a lot of people haven't heard of, which surprises me. The visuals in this app are CRAZY (in the good way), and the material they're teaching is great.
The game is eye-catching and fast-paced so that kids with ADHD are continually stimulated and constantly challenged. It's not too challenging, though, which deters a lot of ADHD kids because they don't always have the capacity to slow down and think through a problem.
Perhaps the reason this app is still relatively unheard of is because of its limited age range. Nonetheless, I love it! Younger elementary students can gain a lot from it, and parents can feel good about them playing it.
(It's a heck of a lot better than those obnoxious "toy un-boxing" videos. You know what I'm talking about, parents.)
Great app for 10 to 12 year olds: Monument Valley
Cost: $3.99
Available on: Apple devices
** Apple Game of the Year 2014 **
** Winner of Apple Design Award 2014 **
This one is SO COOL. It's a mind bender, full of optical illusions and tricks on the eyes, that stimulates the player's creative thought process.
For kids with ADHD, Monument Valley keeps their attention by changing quickly and constantly. The music that plays throughout it is also fantastic. It's so easy to get lost in this game.
Never underestimate the important of creative time for kids.
(Fun fact: My ADHD nephew beat this game in about an hour. Go ADHD kids!)
Great app for 13 to 14 year olds: Epic Win
Cost: $1.99
Available on: Apple and Android devices
Your middle-schoolers hate doing chores … right? Of course they do. We all did at that age. For kids/teens with ADHD, household chores can be even more tedious because they don't have the concentration skills required to finish long projects.
Epic Win is the world's most fantastic way to make those monotonous chores a little easier. It's basically a role-playing game that allows them to be the main character (the hero, obviously) who destroys challenges and defeats enemies.
"What are the challenges and enemies?" you ask.
That's easy. Whatever chore you've assigned them! You can customize the app to send them on quests that are similar to the chore they need to accomplish, and then they can be [virtually] rewarded once they've completed the task. What ADHD kid wouldn't love that?
Wish they would've had this during all the times I did dishes by hand as a kid. *Shudder*
Great app for 15 to 17 year olds: Audible
Cost: FREE (you only pay for the books, unless you download one of their free books!)
Available on: Apple and Android devices
I know so many people with ADHD who really, seriously struggle with reading. Their minds just wander too much. Some people with ADHD have a tendency to focus too much on what they're doing and can read without noticing a single thing going on around them.
A lot of people, however, find their ADHD to be a huge road block when it comes to reading. For high school students, especially, reading is an important part of them learning education material and graduating with passing grades.
My father-in-law who has ADHD loves to listen to audio books. He can keep his hands/body busy while listening to the book, and actually ends up absorbing the story better than most people do.
Downloading an older student's textbooks through Audible could mean the difference between them learning what they need to before a test and failing because they couldn't concentrate long enough to read.

As Trump Attacks Sanders on "Socialism"
While Donald Trump in his State of the Union address took a thinly-veiled swipe at Bernie Sanders when he declared that America would never, ever,
fall victim to "socialism," analysts were aghast at a recent General Accounting Office report that the Pentagon was forced to make up to
$35 trillion in "accounting adjustments," more than the entire size of the US economy, in 2019.
Socialism is just not the American way, declared Trump.
Sanders is now leading the pack by 14% in the upcoming, all-important California primary, 22% ahead of Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Media describing the report, such as Bloomberg News, carefully stressed that most of this amounted to double, triple,
and even quadruple-counting billions from one account to another.
"The same money as it got moved between accounts," according to Todd Harrison, a Pentagon budget expert with the Center for Strategic and International
This double-counting gives the impression, in the Bloomberg piece, that it pretty much all balanced out, with not much missing.
Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood explained "how the dollar figures multiply":
"Sherwood said recognizing $800 million due a contractor in previously unrecorded payments 'requires multiple accounting adjustments that net to $0
but could total over $5 billion' in movement between accounts."
But, and here is the big fat "but," buried in the 13th paragraph of the Bloomberg piece.
Sherwood says:
"What's most important to an auditor is whether the adjustments 'are properly supported' because 'properly supported adjustments ensure financial
statement values are accurate.
We have made significant progress in reducing the number and dollar value of unsupported adjustments by over 30% and 70%, respectively.'"
If you are sitting in an audit with the hated taxman, poring over your returns for your say $80,000 a year job, "properly supported" means you need,
for example, to come up with a receipt from the Boston Marriott if you want to write it off as a business expense.
"Properly supported" means, in short, you can prove where the money went.
Otherwise it could have gone anywhere.
To another bank account.
To the Playboy Club.
To your brother.
If you can't show that the item is properly supported, you can't take the deduction.
What Happened to the Trillions Unaccounted For?
Make sure you hear me now.
70% of $35 trillion is, let's see, about $25 trillion that has been "properly supported," give or take.
Fine and dandy.
Good job.
Oh wait.
That still leaves $10 trillion that is NOT properly supported.
And $20 trillion the year before that, according to the report.
The entire defense budget is shy of $800 billion a year.
10 trillion?
The American taxpayer could be getting robbed blind and never know it.
Loans could even be taken out on Pentagon credit cards and papered over, with $10 trillion or $20 trillion in unsupported adjustments for the papering.
That's room for a lot of "creative accounting," a term that came into fashion during the Enron Scandal.
To put it in the simplest terms possible, an "unsupported" adjustment means no one knows where the money went.
If you can't support an adjustment, you don't make it.
The main spin in the Bloomberg piece is that it's all just kind of a crazy, big mess, "sloppy accounting," as could be expected from the Pentagon because it is so big.
Crazy like a fox.
Citibank is big too.
And they keep track of your transactions to the penny.
In fact, any big bank with even a fraction of this many "unsupported adjustments" would be shut down, and half of its board of directors in jail.
Suggest that someone not qualified is pocketing some of these "unsupported adjustments?"
Conspiracy theory!
We will wait for the day the Pentagon announces it is sitting on piles of unexpected cash and it doesn't know where it came from,
which will be returned to the taxpayer.
Instead of asking for record-breaking amounts in each yearly budget, adding to a record-breaking national debt.
One thing we do know.
The rich have been accumulating an ever-increasing share of the overall pie over the last 40 years, while the middle class has been losing it.
Just like Bernie has been saying ad nauseam.
The wealthiest one percent of the population has gone from holding less than a quarter of all U.S. assets in 1980, to more than a third of those assets now.
In the same time period, ninety percent of the population has gone from holding a third of the assets, to less than a quarter.
We know the rich have been getting richer, in terms of asset ownership, for reasons we don't fully understand.
There's a huge party going on, and you're not invited.
Who Benefits From This Situation?
It is the politically connected who would be on the receiving side of any "unsupported adjustments."
And if you want to be a billionaire in America, you are probably politically connected.
The GAO report does not say if any of those receipts—"support"—ever came through.
So here comes old Bernie railing not so much that we need socialism, but that it shouldn't only be for the well-connected rich,
what Occupy Wall Street called "crony capitalism."
The dirty little secret is there is already plenty of socialism in America.
But it only gets attention when it's for you.
No congressman ever warns about "socialism" when it's for oil company shareholders through the Oil Depletion Allowance, for Berkshire Hathaway,
or for bank bailouts which, contrary to popular belief, never got paid back.
To his credit, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet has consistently said he does not need any more favors from the government,
even though he kept the $29 billion windfall he received in 2017 as a result of the tax bill Congress passed.
Saying: "I sure don't think it's good for a society where there's a ton of inequality to start with."
When the world's third-richest man is more worried about the growing social divide in this country than about his own net worth,
the rest of us should sit up and listen.
But all that may be dwarfed by a huge party at the Pentagon, members only.
Can We Change Things by Making Bernie Win?
Not so fast.
You see, the Democratic primary will be pretty much over by March 3rd, 2020, Super Tuesday.
Because for the first time in modern history, the California primary has been moved up to that day.
Bernie is up 14% over the rest in the most recent poll on California, and 22% over Mayor Pete.
But it is no secret that the DNC hates Bernie.
And in California, the knives are out.
Bernie's Chances May Be Affected by Barcode Voting
If Bernie is trounced in California, that's all she wrote for him.
And guess what?
It just so happens Los Angeles County, which is one-fourth of Cali's population, is getting a new voting system.
With 494 convention delegates, California is make or break for Bernie Sanders.
The voting system is unctuously called, by California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, VSAP, for "Voting System for All People."
The most notable new feature of the system is it will use a method of recording your vote that was just banned in Colorado,
by Colorado's maverick Secretary of State.
When you vote at a new touch-screen machine, that machine will record that vote as an encrypted barcode that you cannot read.
So you don't know who you are really voting for.
The vote-counting machine only reads the barcode.
If they can ram this through in California, it's what's coming in many other states.
With $30 trillion in unsupported adjustments at stake, we can't let a holier-than-thou old fart like Bernie take charge, now can we, Biff?
He might ruin an absolutely epic party.
No we can't.
So all eyes on Los Angeles County, on March 3rd.
Because to paraphrase Patton, America cannot, and will not, tolerate socialism.
Except for the rich.
It's as American as apple pie.

As a CetainTeed Shingle master we want to share this article with you that was originally posted on the CertainTeed website.
A cool roof is a roofing system that delivers higher solar reflectance (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, which reduces heat transfer to the building) and higher thermal emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected solar energy) than standard designed roofing products. Historically, cool roofs have been either white or some other lighter shade color. However, that dynamic has changed in recent years with the development of residential cool roof products like Landmark Solaris® and Presidential Solaris® from CertainTeed that can achieve EnergyStar® qualified levels of solar reflectivity even in dark, rich hues.
Cool roofs can also enhance roof durability and reduce both building cooling loads and the urban heat island effect.
Most of the roofs in the world (including over 90% of the roofs in the United States) are dark-colored. In the heat of the full sun, the surface of a black roof can increase in temperature by more than 100 °F over the ambient temperature, reaching temperatures up to 190 °F. This increase in surface temperature can contribute to:
Any building with a dark colored roof will consume more energy for air conditioning than a "cooler" building – a strain on both operating costs and the electric power grid. Cool roof products such as Landmark Solaris shingles, Presidential Solaris shingles, and Cool Star commercial cool roofing products from CertainTeed offer both immediate and long-term savings in building energy costs.
The EPA reports that cool roofs can:
CertainTeed's Landmark Solaris® Gold, Landmark Solaris® Platinum and Presidential Solaris® shingles are prime examples of residential cool roofing products that provide an enhanced aesthetic appeal.
