Our Top Ten Clothing Care Tips: Show 'em you Love 'em
Caring for your clothes in the right way can help you keep wearing and loving them for longer while reducing your wardrobe's impact on the planet.
Here are our top ten tips to get you started;
1. Learn Your Labels
Take some time to familiarise yourself with the care symbols found on clothing labels. You may recognise the handwash and temperature symbols, but what does Line Dry or Do Not Dry Clean look like?
Remember that these labels are simply guidelines though. Many clothing manufacturers opt for Dry Clean or Handwash symbols to protect themselves, yet the garments can actually be washed safely in a machine at home. Check out this useful guide from appliance manufacturer AEG – part of its Care Label Project, which aims to readdress our laundry habits.
2. 'Don't Overwash' – The AEG Care Label Project
Nowadays, many of us wash our clothes far more than is needed. Clothing care contributes to 25% of a garment's carbon footprint. This creates unnecessary wear and tear on our wardrobe, and can waste energy and water too.
The new Don't Overwash care label, part of AEG's Care Label Project, advocates wearing your clothes for longer between washes. It can currently be found on several designer ranges – look out for a blog post coming soon to discover more.
3. Freshen Up
If a garment feels a little tired but isn't yet ready for the laundry basket, try ironing or using a naturally scented spray to freshen it up. Wearing your clothes on rotation to let them breathe a little between wears can help too.
Similarly, small spills or stains can be addressed through spot cleaning, without having to wash the entire garment.
4. Cool it Down
Many of us automatically set our machine at 40 degrees, despite a 30 or even 20 setting being enough to clean most clothing items. About 90% of the energy consumed by a washing machine goes to heating water. Choosing a lower setting can help prevent damage to your garments, while reducing the environmental impact of your load.
Look out for eco-detergents, which are often specifically aimed at washing at lower temperatures. Plus keep an eye out for handwash or delicate machine settings, these are often more economical and certainly easier than washing by hand!
5. Protect, not neglect
Before putting items in the machine, close fastenings and button up shirts to prevent garments getting tangled during the wash cycle. Turning knitwear inside out before washing can prevent piling, while Bodas recommends popping underwired and padded bras into a mesh laundry bag to protect them.
6. Dry Naturally
Whenever possible avoid tumble drying to help clothes keep their shape and reduce the environmental impact of your laundry. Lay wool garments flat to dry so to prevent stretching, or try popping small delicate items into a salad spinner to remove any excess water.
7. Green Dry Clean
Although most items can be washed at home with care, sometimes a trip to the dry cleaners is necessary.
Most dry cleaners use chemicals that can be hazardous to people and planet, but luckily many green alternatives are opening up, introducing safer and more environmentally friendly methods to the market. In London, we recommend Blanc, but there are plenty in cities across the globe too.
8. Store Safely
Investing in proper storage can help extend the life of your favourite pieces. Knitwear should be folded to avoid stretching, while padded hangers can prevent misshapen garments.
As Instagram-worthy as they are, clothing rails are great for temporary storage, but we recommend a closed closet when storing items long-term to prevent damage created by sunlight or moths.
9. Ask About Aftercare
If in doubt about how to look after an item, ask the store if they can recommend a service or technique for keeping an item in good condition – particularly when it comes to footwear, bags and jewellery.
They may even provide an aftercare service that you can use. For example, Penrose Products will clean and maintain any bedding you buy from them through their fibre refresh scheme. Whether you've spilt something on it or simply want to refresh your purchase to its former glory.
10. Fix and Reinvent
All well-loved clothes go through a little wear and tear, and we all know how upsetting it is when your favourite piece suddenly develops a hole.
Learn the simple but time-honoured handcraft of darning knitwear or sewing on a button, the way your grandmother used to do! This can allow you to extend the life of your wardrobe – particularly if it's a one-of-a-kind item that cannot be replaced.
Alternatively, find a nearby tailor who can help you out – and if you're feeling creative, reinvent the design all together! You can tap into the embroidery patchwork trend by personalising your garment into a work of art (for some beading and embroidery inspiration, we recommend Rilievi, the world-renowned Italian embroidery house).

And squid by the thousands who knew what do do.

It was Cephalopodmas...
This poem should be required reading on the holiday (I'm hoping for a pop-up illustrated book next year). Though Cephalopodmas is rather more than a mouthfull than Squidmas, I guess it is more inclusive.
Labels: Cephalopodmas, Squidmas

I suppose you think it's just a coincidence that on Squidmas Day I just happen to see TWO squid related eposodes of The Family Guy - one with a giant squid sitting at the dinner table and another with Stewie sprouting tentacles? I'm being called to spread the cephalopod truthyness.

Public Court Records–Free
Posted by Bill on February 13, 2009
The New York Times has interesting story today about PACER the government run federal courts database. See Pacer Here NYT Story
PACER is the US government site for federal court records. Pending case information is available along with old, closed case information. You need an account with them so that you can search the database. Also, you have to pay 8 cents per page for downloading. Almost all federal courts are on the system, and you can search by name, case number and in all or individual courts.
According to the NYT story Public Resource is taking the case information from the PACER system and making the information publicly available without charge. It is a good site to check out if you are doing public record research.

|Rain pours down on pedestrians walking around King's Square. Nov. 27, 2013 Photo: Kâté Braydon/Telegraph-Journal
Ahh.. the dreaded weather shot. When everyone else (for the most part) gets to sit in their cozy offices all day, photographers, vj's, reporters everywhere have to go outside and stand in the rain, the wind, the snow, and try to take pictures of the awful mess. It's something I would stress about, more so on the severely cold days, or during the many blizzards we experienced this past winter. When the police are advising people to stay off the roads, we are out there, trying to find the poor chap whose car is stuck in the street. Or freezing the f**k out of our fingers holding onto a metal camera in -30ºC to try and get a nice backlit cloud of steamy breath from someone walking by.
I swear, I've taken enough pictures of people shoveling that.. I don't even know how to end that sentence. What I'm trying to say is that it's too many. By the time February comes around, I'm so over it. The soaking wet gear, the car full of used tissues (used to dry off said gear) (also used to blow my runny nose), the cold feet. I've lost my shit many times. MANY TIMES. Somewhere, there is a city plow driver who saw me get out of my car, screaming while jumping up and down on the bumper, and kicking the wheels repeatedly because I was stuck in the street. He didn't come to my aid. He backed up his plow and went on to clear some other street. I don't blame him. I know how crazy I looked.
I'm mostly lamenting about winter, cause it's the WORST, but I have to say that the job RULES in the summertime. Oh, you need a weather shot today? Sweet, I'll just head over to the beach for a couple hours and see what I can find.

Fall 2015
A Cross of Iron
As the world arms itself with more and more nuclear and conventional weapons, we find ourselves in a continuing pattern of warfare. And that's just as Jesus said it would be.
Delivering Israel
The idea that history repeats itself is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the story of Israel's conquest of the Promised Land. The book of Judges records cycles of obedience, disobedience, war and deliverance as the young nation interacts with neighboring peoples and their gods.
Checking the Bias
Though we'd all like to believe otherwise, our views and opinions may not stem from sound thinking. How can we ensure that wisdom prevails?
The Path to Sunday
Nearly the entire Christian world observes Sunday as the weekly "day of the Lord," yet Jesus Christ Himself kept the seventh-day Sabbath. When and how did the change occur?
A Quantum Leap of Faith
Quantum theory is beyond the grasp of most of us. Even physicists struggle to make sense of things that common sense suggests are impossible. Why, then, is faith in science seen as rational while faith in God is not?
Making Conflict Productive
Educator Michael Redivo says conflict is inevitable, and that learning to deal with it is a key not only to well-being but to growing up. In this interview he talks about his Productive Conflict Model and how it can help children and adults alike to grow in the face of challenging relationships.
Thomas Aquinas: In the Light of Human Reason
Was Thomas Aquinas a theologian or a philosopher? By most accounts he was both, and his blending of the two disciplines resulted in a new approach to the Bible and its teachings.

"Adulting can wait" says Tinder in new adsDigital
Last updated : December 26, 2013
So how important is it for a creative to win peer approval and admiration? It's often the motivation and justification for scam work, a cancer within the ad industry. According to John Hegarty of BBH, scam work has reached an "endemic" level in Asia.
Peer approval is a strange beast. Every creative team walks into a meeting thinking their idea is the best ever, the perfect solution; only a fool wouldn't recognise its genius. When it dies a wicked death, and something else is picked, they continue to think the world of their idea. Clearly the powers that be have made the wrong decision. What do they know? The other idea they picked was lame. It's been done! Dickheads!
That moment is a pure one. At that moment, you love your work more than anything in the world, even though your peers thought otherwise. At that moment, you don't give a damn about their opinions. So why do we stoop and clamour so (for the very peer approval we dismiss) when it comes to awards shows? Shouldn't the work and the creative process be enough? Can you believe we get paid to do this stuff? It's so much fun!
And if you do manage to get something you like produced, a miraculous thing, having braced multiple gauntlets of imminent death, do you think less of yourself and the work you love because a bunch of online trolls tore it to shreds, often to satiate their own frustrations and bitterness? Do you take it to heart, or shrug it off and not give a fuck?
On one hand, fame, vanity and the holding company network constantly tug at you, forcing you to create work that has the right formula for the shows: big visual, small logo, clever over funny ("Humour is a cultural thing; juries might not get it") and so on.
On the other, you want to create work that you love; work that reflects your cultural sensibilities, your personality, your point of view. Work you think is right for the client and market, work that the man on the street will recognise and appreciate-even though it might not do so well at the global shows. It's frustrating. No wonder we're such a bipolar bunch-and almost chronically unhappy. Few other creative fields have to face such incessant rejection, and yet be expected to soldier on.
When you're at this crossroad, consider Rush.
Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in 1968. It has had the same three-member line up since 1974. All three are virtuosos in their respective fields. They're hugely influential with a significant, and rabid, worldwide following. Despite the facts, the mainstream music press and industry ignored them. They just weren't cool enough, these crazy prog-rock nerds from Toronto. There was never any drama or scandal surrounding Rush. The members didn't do drugs. They were clean, the best of friends, happily married, modest...qualities you rarely associate with rock and roll.
Being pariahs in the world of rock and roll never bothered them. They continued to do what they loved: make music, however they pleased. They released an album, 2112, with a sci-fi theme (Nerds!) and a 20-minute title track divided into seven parts that took up an entire side of the record. The record company urged them not to do this, sensing commercial disaster, but Rush ignored them and did it anyway. Rush was right. It proved to be a colossal hit. The industry press continued to ignore and dismiss them.
Rush kept going. It released a total of 20 studio albums...some of which (I hate to admit, being a die-hard fan myself) were quite bad. But they did what they pleased, experimenting, pushing their artistic limits and journeys. Unafraid of risk and failure. Enslaved by no trend. Their devoted fans stuck with them, turning up in droves for each tour, making millions for the band. The members stayed the best of friends through all this, surviving personal tragedies, ridicule and age, just doing what they loved and having fun. They did it because it made them happy, and because they bloody well wanted to.
They continued to be ignored, most notably by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, which (for 13 years after Rush became eligible for induction) inexplicably denied their nomination year after year. Eventually, the Hall Of Fame started to look ridiculous and lose credibility for doing so.
On April 18, 2013, Rush was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Dave Grohl (of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters), a huge fan, had this to say as he inducted them: "...playing upward of 250 shows a year, from Day One the band built its following the right way. No hype, no bullshit; they did it from the ground up. Without any help from the mainstream press. Forty five years, over 40 million records, thousands of shows, selling out arenas all over the world...their influence is undeniable and their devoted fan base only rivalled by The Grateful Dead...and their legacy is that of a band that stayed true to themselves no matter how uncool they may have seemed to anyone. I think it's safe to say that Rush is indeed a band that has balls. And they've always been cool, so consider this mystery solved."
Rush very graciously accepted the honour in the presence of a stadium full of fans. Alex Lifeson, the guitarist and band prankster, gave one of the most incredible acceptance speeches ever. For about three minutes, all he did was gesticulate, act out his reaction to the news of their induction, and say, "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." It was clear that the award wasn't going to their heads, and it wasn't going to change them. They were back on tour the next day.
So the next time you're feeling low because your work didn't get the recognition it deserved, or you are torn between doing what you like and what a jury might like, remember Rush. Remember: it's about doing what you like, and working hard, with people you love. The accolades will eventually come. Remember, if your work solves the client's problems, and you had fun creating it, that's all you'll ever need.
Then slap on your headphones and listen to Rush. I recommend starting with "Tom Sawyer" from the Moving Pictures album.
And, play it loud.

Learn Kumihimo As Easy As 1-2-3
One of the best classes I took last summer at Bead Fest Philadelphia was Easy Kumihimo with Beads, taught by Jill Wiseman. Easy, fun, and wildly addicting, I returned home with a whole bag of kumihimo supplies and project ideas, and I haven't stopped making these beautiful beaded braids since then!
A number of you have asked for a basic beaded kumihimo tutorial, and here it is. Learning kumihimo is much easier than you might think it is — your basic kumihimo braid only requires two moves of the cords to make a braid that you can use for bracelets, purse straps, and even spectacular beaded necklaces. Enjoy!
- 1 spool C-Lon cord in color to match or contrast with seed beadsd
- For a 7" bracelet, you'll need about 30 grams of size 6o seed beads
- Big-eye needle
- Foam kumihimo disc
- 8 plastic bobbins
- Scissors or thread cutter
Before you get started, measure your thread and cut 8 strands that are 3 times the length of your desired finished length. Remember: it's easy to add more beads as you braid, but you can't add more thread, so always make your threads a little longer than you might anticipate.
Once you've achieved the desired length for your beaded kumhimo cord, weave about another inch of plain cord without any beads. Gently slip the cords off the disc, tie them together in an overhand knot, and trim the ends of the cord. You've finished your first beaded kumihimo cord!
There are lots of different ways to finish your kumihimo braid with beads, and I'll get into those techniques in a future blog. For now, keep practicing with your beaded kumihimo technique, and stock up on those lovely size 6o seed beads!
Ready to learn some more great kumihimo techniques? All beading projects are now on sale in the Beading Daily Shop, through January 11, 2013 at 12 a.m. CST. Download Kumihimo Splash by Suzanne Branca and put your new kumihimo skills to work, making this fantastic bracelet!

Baglett enjoys the "African Experience" at Moyo in Zoo Lake.
The SettingThere have been many positives about the World Cup: the chance for me to repeatedly say 'I love it when you speak foreign' and for me to flirt outrageously with other men knowing that when I embarrass myself, the chances of me seeing them again are slim to none. But what I have noticed other than the faster moving highways, the improvement in general manners and camaraderie of people, is that restaurants are really pulling out all the stops. Moyo Zoo Lake is no exception, in fact, they've gone all out. I've visited Moyo numerous times, and each time the service was slow, the food slightly above average and the atmosphere, while obviously African, slightly lacking something – patrons mostly. Not this time. The staff were more than capable of dealing with the foreign crowd with ease, agility and confidence. I haven't had so much fun at a restaurant since I hid in the wine cellar at The Local Grill and the chef found me hours later. I was so busy having my face painted that I almost didn't notice the dancers weaving their way through the tables, banging their drums and singing. I was so proud of my heritage I wanted to wrap myself in a South African flag to prove it. Instead I went with one of the incredibly warm and soft blankets that don every chair in the restaurant. The FoodHello delicious bread! Three different kinds of breads served with three different types of seasoning. Unfortunately I ate all the bread which made a starter impossible. I did however taste one of their ridiculously fresh samoosas from my dining partner's plate while he was in the bathroom. Highly recommend those triangle-shaped bundles of joy. Our waitress recommended Moyo's favourite dishes and I went for a berbere potjie. My dining partner ordered the flamed fillet steak and I had serious food envy. While my potjie was delicious (too many bones for my overexcited hands) it wasn't a touch on the flamed fillet steak. Price rangeI don't want to say that they put their prices up for the World Cup but I'll hint at it. I don't remember what the prices were pre soccer invasion, but let's not dwell on it – it's done now! You can feast on the buffet for R195 per person and while you're freaking out at the price – remember - we're talking African mountains of food so you're getting your money's worth. But if, like me, you prefer to be served controlled portion sizes, you are going to be paying between R29 and R120 for starters and for main courses, between R50 and R200.Sounds pricy but throw in the amazing atmosphere they've got going there at the moment and service that has an injection of brilliance, all in all, worth every African penny. Perfect forImpressing the people who talk foreign. And if they're paying, even better. Moyo Zoo Lake was reviewed by Baglett. Read her tea-snortingly funny blog here.

A walk in the park
35 Minutes, photoshop:
I recorded the drawing process, so that I can re-watch it and see where I'm going wrong, but maybe someone else might find this interesting, too.
Video is sped up to 7 minutes (Open it in a new tab please, if you open it in this window, it gets all distorted...I have no idea why that happens):
And a bunch of others, these are really crappy, must keep an eye on colors to keep them from getting so muddy... should draw in b/w first, too. Values are all messed up.
About 15 -20 minutes each, without reference except for the last one:

Review Fix chats with singer Bo Courvoisier who discusses her new single, "Baby Come Back and more.
Review Fix: How did you get involved in music?
Bo Courvoisier: I've always wanted to sing for as long as I can remember. I'm definitely that little girl who sang inter her hairbrush to Mariah Carey. My parents put me in piano lessons at 11 or 12. But the first time I wrote a song was when I got my heart broken for the first time at 15…I remember walking home crying and just softly singing out my feelings as I walked home. I guess that sounds weird, but it didn't feel weird. When I got home I found an old voice recorder my dad had used and recorded my first song on it.
Review Fix: What makes your work special?
Courvoisier: It's honest. All of my demos were written by me in my apartment – usually drunk and in the middle of of the night – about things I was actually going through at the time.
Review Fix: Why do you think people love it still?
Courvoisier: This is my first release – so I can only hope people will love it. But if I had to guess why, I guess it'd be because it's about real things that everyone goes through. This is definitely an album about love, sex and heartbreak..and the substances that surround them..
Review Fix: What inspired Baby Come Back?
Courvoisier: Someone I love broke my heart. I don't know if I believe in 'the one' or a 'soul mate' or anything…but I think for me this person is pretty close. Meeting them felt like the universe clicking into place. It was such a big feeling. Losing them, in what felt like such an anticlimactic way, was just horrifying. Several months later, after I'd started seeing someone new, I got a text from them saying they missed me…Baby Come Back is pretty much what my thoughts were word for word when I got that message.
Review Fix: How do you want that song to affect people?
Courvoisier: I guess I hope that if they're going through something similar they take some sort of solace in being able to relate to what I'm singing about. Or, if they're not, I hope they have fun belting along to the 'baby baby's' 'cause they're pretty fun to sing.
Review Fix: What's next?'d like to add?
Courvoisier: World domination! I'll be releasing my next single soon. I'll also be in the UK in October.

my fabrics have SAD! the assignment was to create fabric with two fabrics you loved - a light and dark. this was my second selection. Nancy came by and asked if I was conservative? possibly, I don't think so. am I?
my fabrics did look sad but after some consideration I blame the 3 feet of snow on the ground last winter. that's when I collected my fabrics. any colour looked good at the time. so my fabrics suffer from Seasonal Affect Disorder. anybody on this side of the 49th parallel can relate.
this sad attempt at a dramatic piece didn't even survive the wall.

I look at your blog through quilt voices. I actually think the third photo is very good. I like the combination of colours...partly BECAUSE it isn't what you see every day. don't actully toss the idea. I can see it becoming a background for some sort of abstract climbing plant, like a trellis. or many other things.
hope you are getting encouragement.

Hello friends!!
Today, I am sharing another card I created using
one of my new Sugar Kissed Cottage stamps called, Rain Boy.
I stamped him with Black Memento ink and colored him in with Copic markers.
I then created the card with patterned papers by October Afternoon from their Woodland Park line and Kraft cardstock that I misted with white and gold spray inks. The ribbon is seam binding I colored with Distress Stains.
I also added a few strips of washi tape on my card. Washi tape is one of my newest addictions!!! The floral one is by October Afternoon and the woodgrain is by We R Memory Keepers.
I love this sweet stamp!!!!
You can find it available here at Lil Inker Designs shop.
Have a lovely day, Lindsey

Mr. Lowe, who currently serves as chairman of Interpublic divisions Lowe Group and Octagon, will retire effective Jan. 2, 2003, and will act as a consultant to Lowe Group for one year, subject to renewal. He will have the title non-executive chairman.
Mr. Lowe was one of four Interpublic executives who lost their seats on the board of directors
Limited bonuses
The proxy statement also noted that Interpublic's chairman-CEO, John Dooner, received a bonus of $500,000 for 2001, 66.7% below his previous year's bonus. The statement said the board's compensation committee considered the company's performance -- including a 24.4% drop in operating profits from 2000 -- along with the poor business conditions in 2001, warranted only a "limited bonus" for Mr. Dooner and other top executives.
Additionally, McCann-Erickson Worldgroup Chairman James Heekin received a one-time payout of $750,000 to adjust his incentive payments for the years 1997 to 2001, when he rose from president of McCann-Erickson North America to his current position and a seat on the board; he was one of the four insiders removed earlier this year.
According to the compensation committee's report, the previous payouts "did not adequately reflect his increased responsibilities and his contribution to the profitability" of the company during those four years.

How To: The Basic Hairstyle
Hey! Here is another basic hair tutorial that I've promised that I will post. You can see the previous one , it's pretty useful just like this one. At the first section you can see that the girl on the picture explains how to use an curling iron ( or the hair wand ). So, warp your lock along the whole iron, and don't coil it too tight! Hair irons damage the hair more than any other hair products. Normally, flat iron your ends at medium heat to get a smooth look. And done!

How do I look with a baby?
So, I was much farther along than I let on and I had the baby this weekend and everything is great and that's her in the pink…just kidding! This is me with Grace, my cousin Katie's 11-day-old baby girl. I visited them on Saturday and got to see what it's like to have a teeny, tiny thing around. Mostly she just slept and ate—and didn't cry at all. Such a good baby and so freakin cute (and small!). Here's a good story for you: Grace was born two weeks early…in her parents' Volvo. It was late in the evening and Katie was having light contractions but didn't think anything of it since she'd been to see the doctor that day and wasn't dilated a bit. Still, she called the doctor and the doctor told her to come in anyway and get checked out. Katie, still totally calm, called her mom to come watch Jack, her three-year-old, and she and her husband John headed to the hospital for what they thought would be a quick checkup. But by the time they got on the highway, Grace's head was on its way out. Fortunately they made it to the ER entrance at the hospital, where the doctors came running out to help. Within seconds, Grace was out and all was well. All I can say is…yikes!

The early NBA exits and staggering coaching turnover have marinated. The rosters are close to set, and the summer recruiting circuit will commence next month.
So why not do some early handicapping of next season's ACC basketball race?
As always, feel free to disagree early and often.
* North Carolina (29-8, 14-2 last season) is as no-duh a first-place choice as Duke was last season. That "oops" notwithstanding, not even Larry Drew II would pick against the Tar Heels. They not only return Harrison Barnes, Kendall Marshall, Tyler Zeller and John Henson, but also add freshman James McAdoo of Norfolk Christian, the MVP of the McDonald's and Jordan Classic all-star...

The goal to develop cultural demand in an inclusive way continues through the evolution of the Open project, involving larger and more consolidated cultural organisations and institutions and a focus on the Ligurian and Piedmontese cultural outskirts. Compagnia's role is focused on establishing a common agenda among cultural institutions in terms of audience development, following European Union guidelines.
Furthermore, we are starting to explore two specific application environments of cultural welfare in which cultural participation can become an instrument for individual and collective wellbeing: the inclusion of migrants on the one hand, and health / disease on the other, in both cases in synergy with other ongoing actions undertaken by Compagnia di San Paolo.

Max is awaiting a decision from the Ethics Commission regarding his complaint that the Little Rock sales tax campaign committee didn't adequately report expenditures on the successful campaign to pass the sales tax. The commission is currently in private deliberations.
UPDATE FROM MAX: I was smashed.
By a 4-0 vote (Chairman Catherine Johnson didn't participate because of a conflict with a participant) the Ethics Commission this morning dismissed my complaint that the Little Rock sales tax committee hadn't properly disclosed its expenditures. It reported only checks to a consulting group, the Markham Group, that ran the campaign and spent money on advertising and other means in the committee's behalf.
The vote reversed an earlier vote by the commission finding probable cause of a violation and offering a proposal to settle the case. The sales tax committee refused to settle and asked for today's public hearing. It was represented by Kevin Crass of the Friday firm, who argued that disclosure of only payments to campaign consultants had been a common practice of ballot question committees (true, though not universal) and it would be unfair to the good citizens who worked on the campaign to give them even a mild reprimand for doing what they believed to be legal. He argued that the law allowed this reporting practice. The law requires disclosure of expenditures of $100 or more, but Crass said that requirement was met by disclosure of payments to the Markham Group.
Rita Looney, counsel for the Ethics Commission, argued that my complaint was "meritorious." She noted, as I did, that if the procedure to disclose only payments to campaign managers or other intermediaries were allowed that public accountability would be nil. Robert McLarty of the Markham Group said there were "proprietary" things that full financial reporting would reveal about his campaign strategy. Looney said that was exactly the sort of thing the public was entitled to know. It is also precisely the sort of thing that candidates routinely disclose. McLarty agreed he spent money both in behalf of the committee and at its direction. Professional consultant though he might be, the procedure being followed here allows cleansing of all ways to trace how money is spent. I used the phrase "money laundry" previously, to the great unhappiness of the consultants, but I can't think of a better metaphor for the process perfected here.
Crass said that, if the law was lacking, the Commission should move to fix it by rule change or legislation, not by "changing" the law in midstream. (I'd prefer to say it didn't require a law "change," but overdue enforcement.) Looney noted that this was a case of "first impression" — that nobody had complained about reporting lacks on ballot question committees previously. Crass suggested it was the Commission's duty to identify shortcomings in filings and notify filers about it. He said that had not happened in this case. Looney responded that, as a practical matter because of the size of staff and the huge number of filings, that most are not closely reviewed and that commission investigations tend to be complaint-driven.
So the question: Will the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce, revealed clearly in the hearing as the genie behind the curtain of this and other issue campaigns, join me in asking the same sort of spending disclosure for ballot issues that is required for political candidates? I've asked CEO Jay Chessir that question — and, again, for voluntary disclosure (what's to hide now?). I've also asked Paul Dumas, the acting chair of the Ethics Commission, if today's vote — a reversal of a vote that seemed to signal a feeling of a problem in reporting — was a prelude to an effort by the Commission to improve the law. I'll update if I hear from either of them. I hope Chessir proves me wrong and 1) returns my
call e-mail and 2) says he supports accountability in election spending.
Crass did a good job highlighting the good intentions of the committee and the professionalism of the Markham Group. A veteran of Ethics Commission battles as counsel to former Gov. Mike Huckabee, he declined to comment whether he thought the law could use some clarification.
The bottom line today is that there is now, undeniably, no accountability for spending of ballot question committees. The fellow pushing a casino amendment could write me a check for $1 million to spend however I wanted and comply with disclosure laws by reporting that one check. The Ethics Commission and I might disagree on whether that's what the letter of the law allows, but I'd hope most would agree it is NOT in the public interest. The Ethics Commission's future response to this outcome will be a measure of whether it deserves its name.
UPDATE: I asked Robert McLarty, whose firm does a great deal of this work, if he'd support a change to insure more disclosure. He said: "... there's a process of changing and making law and I'm not in that business. There's a lot of things at the capitol that need help." That's what's known as a non-denial denial, I think.
Jay Chessir, similarly, isn't inclined to jump on the public accountability bandwagon with me. I asked for voluntary disclosure on this campaign. He said by reporting some categorical spending (without names of recipients of the money or any supporting information for the claimed amounts) the committee had already disclosed more than was required. Support for change in the law to make it clear that more disclosure is required? "We have not seen a proposed change in which to express an opinion."
Graham Sloan, director of the Ethics Commission was more hopeful: "I'm confident the commission will recommend a change in the statute." He said I'd identified a shortcoming that could be fixed by legislation and he believed it was likely the commission would recommend the change for the 2013 legislative session. He said he was confident the legislature would be amenable to a proposal for more disclosure on ballot questions.
Paul Dumas, a Morrilton lawyer who acted as chair today, echoed Sloan. He said the commision, after hearing from Crass, felt constrained by the poor language of the statute in finding a violation. But he said: "It's clear public disclosure is down the tubes with the way this statute is written and the way it has been applied. The solution to that lies with the legislature, not with us." He said he'd "very much like to see that statute looked at by the legislature in light of what you brought to light." He said the statute need to be more clear, more specific and more favorable to public disclosure.
Legislators, can I get a sponsor? Disclosure: Expect it to mean fighting the Chamber's historic preference for secrecy.
The Commission had voted 4-0 Oct. 21 that it found probable cause a violation HAD occurred. It proposed that the committee agree to an unintentional violation, with a letter of caution, and file an amended report with disclosure of expenditures of more than $100. This was the finding that the committee contested at today's hearings, which turned the commissioners around. Commissioner J.B. Minix didn't participate in the first hearing, but Catherine Johnson did because it was before the Friday Firm was working on the case. Here's the full finding of probable cause of a violation.

Not A Cookbook -- An Essay
A decade ago, I was visiting in Key West. I met a woman who had been an editor at British Vogue shortly after World War II. One of her first assignments was to travel to Italy with Elizabeth David. Britain was still reeling from rationing. She told me that they would be riding in a car and David would yell, "Stop!" She would scurry out of the car and pull wild garlic and herbs from the hillside. That is the way I always think of Elizabeth David -- climbing a hillside for wild garlic.
As you know, gentle readers, I adore Elizabeth David. The is a wonderful essay in the New York Time Book Review about bringing David's Italian Food to an American audience. It is by Laura Shapiro, who is not too shabby, her own self!

St Paul's College & Rachol Seminary
The Rachol Seminary celebrates in June 2010, the fourth centenary of its existence. We shall trace in this article the genesis of priestly formation in Goa in the two Institutions, namely, the St Paul's College, that preceeded and Rachol that started side by side and continues serving the Church of Goa and other dioceses, till today.
When the Portuguese occupied the Old Conquests of Goa, namely, Tiswaddi in 1510 and Bardez and Salcete in 1543, they sought the help of religious orders for the work of evangelization. The Franciscans had entered Goa with the armies of Afonso de Albuquerque in 1510 and had opened their first house in the city of Goa (today's Old Goa) by 1518. Goa was raised to a diocese in 1533/4, when only Franciscans were active. In 1541, the Franciscan Friar Diogo de Borba was instrumental in establishing the Confraternity of the Holy Faith with the help of a coterie of Portuguese laymen holding high Government Offices, which included the Governor D. Estevao de Gama, the Secretary Ferhao Rodrigues de Castelo .Branco, the Treasurer Cosme Anes and the Vicar General Miguel Vas, for the spread of the Catholic Faith1.
Seminary of the Holy Faith
It was the above mentioned Confraternity that decided, in 1541, to start a Seminary which would cater to the "education of children of all Asiatic nationalities: canarese2, decanis of the north, malabaris, Sinhalese, pegus, malays, Javanese, Chinese and abyssinians so that the torch of Faith might be taken to the whole East"3. Goa was thus among the first dioceses in the world to think of Seminary education for the formation of secular priests. Only after the Council of Trent (1563 - 1578) was Seminary education made compulsory for all dioceses by the Catholic Church.
The Franciscan, Friar Diogo de Borba, was placed at the helm of this Seminary. Initially in 1541, it had 20 candidates from all the above nationalities, being taught first the rudiments of Portuguese and then of Latin. It was named "Seminary of the Holy Faith". On 10th November 1541 the construction of the building to house the candidates was started and completed by end of the year 15424. After St Francis Xavier landed in Goa in May 1552, he accepted to be at the helm of this Seminary, but by September 20 of the same year, he left for South India, keeping it again in the hands of Friar Diogo de Borba5. In 1543, there were 60 candidates on the rolls6. As the years passed, while Xavier was in the missions, the Seminary had grown with european, luso-asian (mestizzos : sons of mixed parentage ) and indigenous (native) candidates.
It was only in 1548 that the Seminary came under the full control of the Jesuits and St. Francis Xavier appointed Fr Antonio Gomes sj as its Rector, and left for Japan, sailing from Cochin in January 1549. Xavier had a great vision and dream of an indigenous Church that would provide for its local needs. Fr. Antonio Gomes, however, had different ideas and felt that the priesthood was meant only for the white skin and persecuted the indigenous candidates so much that by 1550, 200 of them ran away, jumping over the walls. When this came to the knowledge of Xavier, he abruptly left Japan on 20th November 1551, leaving his companions to carry on, though he was doing good work there, and hastened to Goa. On reaching Cochin, he got a letter, sent two years earlier, from Ignatius de Loyola, appointing him the first Provincial of the Jesuits in the East. In this capacity, Xavier dismissed, in February 1552, some irregular Jesuits and exiled Antonio Gomes to Diu. He even left with the latter's Rector a closed envelope containing the order of outright dismissal to be given to Gomes in case he dared to step out of Diu7. Xavier admitted to Ignatius in his letter that it had been a great blunder to appoint Antonio Gomes as Rector. He had been a good preacher and missionary but not fit for the Rector's post. Xavier ordered the re-admission of native candidates to the Seminary and immediately left for his unsuccessful rendezvous with China. He died in Sangchevam (Sancian) island on the borders of China in December 1552.
Meanwhile, the Dominicans had come to Goa in 1548. Therefore, in 1555, the Viceroy D. Antao de Noronha distributed the territory of Goa, then under Portuguese control, among the three religious orders: Franciscans got Bardez, Dominicans were given 15 villages in the north-western sector of Tiswaddi (Ilhas) and the Jesuits got the remaining 15 villages of Ilhas and the whole of Salcete for evangelization8. In 1557, Goa was raised to an Archdiocese with Cochin and Malacca as suffragan dioceses. In 1558, the first Goan secular candidate, Andre Vaz from Carambolim, one of those readmitted under Xavier's orders in 1552, was ordained to the priesthood9. In course of time, under the Patronage of the King of Portugal, these religious orders Christianized the people and built beautiful parish Churches and Chapels in the villages entrusted to them, the secular priests working under them. Thereafter other religious orders, as the Augustinians, the Carmelites, the Theatines and the Hospitallers of St John of God established their houses in the city of Goa (Old Goa), for recruitment and training in order to work in the Padroado missions of the East. However, until 1700, no native candidate was admitted to any of these religious orders. At this juncture the native Goan Community of the Cross of Miracles was founded in 1682 by Fr.Pascoal da Costa Jeremias. Blessed Joseph Vaz joined it in 1685 and organized it into the Oratorian Congregation anf left for Ceylon. (Sri Lanka).
Going back to our narration of the Seminary of the Holy Faith, eventually after 1548, it developed under the Jesuits, into the famous St. Paul's College. It trained not only the Jesuit and secular candidates in great numbers for the priesthood, but also those of the other religious orders mentioned above, as well as laymen who wanted to follow other professions. At that time all Institutes of higher education, even in Europe lectured mostly Arts, Philosophy and Theology for any degree, subjects that were also compulsory for the Priesthood. The French traveler, Pyrard de la Raval, who visited Goa at the beginning of the 17th century, said that the College of St Paul with the variety of the subjects it taught could rightly be called an Oriental University. The students were educated free of charge. Pyrard and many other European travelers, who visited the College, have recorded that at this time it had 3000 students on its rolls, coming from all the missions of Asia besides European students10. Its Library was one of the biggest in Asia, and the first Printing Press was mounted in its premises. To cater to such a huge student population, St Paul's developed, so to say, its own "Study Colonies". Thus, in 1570 the Jesuits bought a house on the Monte do Rosario in the city of Goa (Old Goa), below the present Sta. Monica's Convent. At first they named it St Rock's and later from 1610, New College of St. Paul. There they transferred some of the classes, making a part of the Old College their Novitiate, which was later on transferred to their Casa Professa after the Bom Jesus Basilica was built, to enshrine the relics of St Francis Xavier11. Besides there were other affiliate study houses, such as the College of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (Santa Rosalia), the College of the Mother of God, villa houses in Siridao, Curca and other surrounding villages.
Simultaneously, the Dominicans had established their "Academy of St Thomas Aquinas" first in Panjim in 1568 and then shifted it to Panelim in the city of Goa (Old Goa) in 1596 . By late 17th century as the buildings of St Paul's showed signs of weakness, this Academy started gaining prominence, as it was frequented by candidates of other religious orders and also by secular candidates. For example, Bl. Joseph Vas, the Apostle of Kanara and Sri Lanka, after studying Arts and Humanitiesat the Jesuit St Paul's College, completed his Philosophy and Theology at this Dominican Academy, and was ordained a secular priest in 167613.
St Paul's continued till 1759, when the Jesuits were suppressed, their Casa Professa and the Church were handed over to the Congregation of St Vincent de Paul (Vincentines or Lazarists as they were called), and the principal diocesan Seminary was established there. However, after 20 years it became extinct, and the students were shifted to Chorao14, where, meanwhile, a new Seminary for native priests had been opened, which went on from 1761 to 1779 and from 1781 to 1859, then closed once for all. The huge old St Paul's edifice had become worn out and uninhabitable and so was demolished at this juncture.
Coming now to Salcete, when the Franciscan D. Caspar Leao Pereira arrived as the first Archbishop of Goa in December 1560, there was no Church in the entire Taluka of Salcete, only one military Chapel attached to the Fort of Rachol which had come in the possession of the Portuguese in 1543. The Jesuits entered Salcete on 1st May 1560 through Cortalim. Only on 3rd January 1566 a house with the surrounding property in Rachol was donated to the Jesuits by the 9th Viceroy D. Antao de Noronha. When the Jesuit Fr. Luis de Gois took possession of the house in the name of the College of St Paul, the Jesuits thought of installing there a college for the education of the natives. The boy King of Portugal, D. Sebastiao, donated to the college in project, the income of the properties of the demolished temples, by his Royal letter dated 23rd March 1569. The Regent King of Portugal, Cardinal D. Henrique, confirmed for ever, the donation of the boy-King, his nephew, by an alvara (order) dated 9th March 1579.
However, when the idea materialized, the Jesuits established the College, not in Rachol, but in Margao, attached to the Holy Spirit Church. But they had to repent for it, as immediately thereafter in 1579 itself, the Moors who (under the Adil Khan of Bijapur were the rulers of what became after 1790 the New Conquests of Goa and) were frequently invading Salcete, burnt down the institution. Therefore, in 1580, Bl. Afonso Pacheco sj, being the Rector, the College was shifted to Rachol. He was succeeded by Blessed Rodolfo Aquaviva sj as Rector on 8th July 1583, just a week before their martyrdom at Cuncolim. The College remained in Rachol under other Jesuit Rectors till May 1584, when under orders of the Provincial, Fr. Alexandre Valignano sj, it was again shifted back to the houses in Margao. Later, in the Third Jesuit Congregation held in 1588, it was felt that Margao was prone to attacks of the enemies, and so permission was asked from the Jesuit General to transfer the College back to Rachol. The permission was granted with much reluctance, on consideration that Rachol was a much fortified area, as far as defenses were concerned.
A new edifice (presently housing the Patriarchal Seminary of Rachol), was constructed for this College. Its foundation stone was laid on 1st November 1606, and the first Mass was sung on the vespers of All Saints in 1609. And in June 1610 the College was definitively shifted to the new edifice. In Margao, it had been named as College of the Holy Spirit. In Rachol it was at first called College of All the Saints and later College of St. Ignatius. This College continued to be in the hands of the Jesuits for a century and a half. As said above, Rachol had been stated as a Jesuit College for Salcete from 1610, but gradually it had adopted the curriculum for training secular priests from 1646, which went on till their expulsion by decrees of the Prime Minister of Portugal, Marquis de Pombal, dated 3rd September 1759 and 1st April 176015.
The 21st Archbishop of Goa, D. Antonio Taveira de Neiva Brum e Silveira, in virtue of the Royal letter of 4th April 1761, erected the Diocesan Seminary of the Good Shepherd under the protection of the Child Jesus by his provision of 4 January 1762 in the edifice of this extinct Jesuit College of Rachol, and entrusted it to the direction of the native Oratorians of St Philip Nery. However in 1774, by the tacit approval of the Superior Government, the ruling Royal Treasury Junta of Goa, abruptly suppressed the Rachol Seminary on the pretext that certain conditions were not being fulfilled, the real reason being of economy. As the subsidy for the maintenance of the Seminary was withheld, the Oratorians withdrew from the management. However much they tried, for seven years, the Archbishops of Goa could not get the Seminary subsidy restored.
Because of the demands made by the people of Salcete and the Municipality of Margao, came the Order of the Court of Portugal, dated 29th March 1781, to restore the Rachol Seminary. The Queen of Portugal, D.Maria I, sent two priests of the Congregation of St Vincent de Paul (Vincentines or Lazarists) to manage the institution. One of them was Antonio Luis de Santos and the other Manuel Correia Valente. The latter was appointed the Rector of the Seminary. Another 3 Italian priests of the Vincentines, namely, Jose Agostinho Vila, Paulo Romualdo Ansaloni and Francisco Papareli also helped in the formation. With the retirement of the Vincentines, the Seminary was closed from 1789 to 1793. Then it was again entrusted to the Goan Oratorians who manned it till the expulsion of all Religious Orders from Goa in 1835. From 1835, the Seminary has been managed by the secular clergy of the Archdiocese, appointed by the Prelate.16
Needless to say, constant changes in the staff (Vincentines, Oratorians and seculars) the locality (Old Goa, Chorao, Rachol) and the unhealthy intervention of the State in Church affairs ,leading to frequent interruption of studies and closures, proved fatal to the proper training of the Seminarians. The standard of the clergy came down considerably17. The wild fire of the Padroado-Propaganda conflict engulfing all the missions of India and the east at this time worsened the situation for the Goan clergy 8. The Propaganda Vicars Apostolic accused the Goan priests of being rude and ignorant men, sent by the Goan ecclesiastical authorities only to fight and defend the Padroado rights against their jurisdiction and creating schism among their faithful 9. However the Vicars Apostolic did not have sufficient clergy to man their Vicariates. Goa had at a time over 1000 secular native priests (Portuguese documents in 1781 speak of 3000 priests)20 who were supplied not only to Padroado territories but also to the Propaganda Vicariates Apostolic and often came in conflict with them. Dr George Mark Maraes, however, says about them, "The Goan clergy have rendered memorable services in bearing the burden of the day and its scorching heat at the task of keeping Catholicism alive and extending its bounds alone and unassisted from Comorin point to Everest peak for well-nigh two hundred years21. It was left to the first Patriarch of Goa, D. Antonio Sebastiao Valente, to raise the standard of formation very high so that Pope Leo XIII granted the Rachol Seminary in 1887 the faculty of conferring the degree of Bachelor in Divinity. With this, the Rachol Seminary produced eminent clergymen, a galaxy which included a long list of preachers, missionaries, philosophers, theologians, Canonists, Scripture scholars, Bishops, Councillors, Parliamentarians, University Professors and journalists: over 70 of whom, Fr. Amaro Pinto Lobo has, in 1933, named in the above quoted Memoria Historico-Ecclesiastica commemorating the 4th centenary of the foundation of the Diocese of Goa (1533 to "1933)"". The Rachoi Seminary continues to this day its dedicated sendees by supplying worthy ministers to the Church of Goa and the world at large, not only in the parishes and missions in the Archdiocese of Goa to other dioceses in different parts of India and Asia, but also abroad in Africa. Venezuela, Europe and USA and elsewhere, wherever the ecclesiastical authorities, seeing their needs decide to send them or they voluntarily offer to serve. Crescat etfloreat amplius.

Nagpur, Maharashtra, October 10, Protected content PRwire/ -- Infologic Consultancy Services Ltd (ICSPL) announced the opening of its new Middle East office in Riyadh on Sunday. The plan is to serve the whole region from Saudi Arabia, which is also the biggest IT market in the region with a forecast value of $4.9 billion by Protected content .
"The new office with more capacity is now open in the center of the Arabian peninsula; from where the ICSPL will be in a strong and strategic position to serve its clients in every nook and corner of the region," said Mohammad Sharib, ICSPL director of business development and marketing.
Riyadh as a capital of Saudi Arabia has turned out to be increasingly promising market for ICSPL Saudi Arabia.
According to company officials, ICSPL has been able to gain a large number of corporate customers. Opening of our new branch office reflects our promising growth in this country, stated by Mr. Mohammad Sharib, Director Business Development & Marketing at ICSPL.
According to company officials, ICSPL's objective is to work towards the betterment of the end-users by bringing to them the latest technology and products. Working in this direction, ICSPL will invest the necessary resources and bring in the expertise needed to develop the market.
Increasing ARPU is a growing challenge within most large and medium sized Telco Operators and we are excited to launch our GSM VAS "PUSH EMAIL" which works without GPRS/ Internet Connection, first of its kind application in Middle East offering on-demand access to mails and alerts without use of mobile internet connection/GPRS data plan for which we see a big potential in the Middle East and Africa market.
We are in talks with some of the leading Telecom Operators in Middle East & Africa for launching "Jaamun" as a Value Added Service.
The "PUSH EMAIL" Service that we are proposing to operators is presently being marketed in India under the brand name "Jaamun". As of now, it is being marketed directly to end users through our portal.
Mr.Sharib said few benefits that "Jaamun" offers to the end-user & the operator:
o Zero investment on new handsets on the part of end user as any existing device that supports SMS can be used to access "Jaamun" service. Users don't need to subscribe for GPRS services or install any application on mobile to use "Jaamun" service.
o SMS & SMS based value added services contribute a minimum of 50% to the VAS revenues in emerging markets. From the perspective of mobile operators, service like "Jaamun" which offers reply email & forward email features on SMS, could generate around 50 Mobile Originated SMS per subscriber every month.
For launching the service as a Value Added Service, we need to integrate with the operator's SMS account. Subsequent to the integration, "Jaamun" would be responsible for activating and operating service for the end user, while the operator would promote the service through its website, automated IVR based voice calls, SMS and other effective channels. Revenue is shared on the monthly subscription & the mobile originated SMS generated from "Jaamun" service.
Our target is to launch these services with Middle East & Africa operators by the end of this year.
Apart from Email on SMS service we are also offer a VoIP & social networking service on mobile said Mr. Sharib, Director Business Development & Marketing of ICSPL Saudi Arabia. Some of key features of the service are

The Stockwood Scrolls
The Triune Goddess, Queen of Arvandor
Greater Deity
Symbol: Three interconnecting rings on a downward pointing triangle
Alignment: Chaotic good
Pantheon: Elven
Portfolio: Spring and birth
Domains: Light, Nature
Favoured Weapon: "Duskshaft" (longspear or shortspear)
The elven goddess of fertility, birth, and wisdom, Angharradh (on-gahr-rath), is chaotic good. She combines the aspects of three elven goddesses, Aerdrie Faenya, Hanali Celanil, and Sehanine Moonbow, but she is an entity distinct from them, as they are beings separate from her. She is revered almost exclusively by moon elves and moon half-elves, who believe that she is the consort of Corellon Larethian.
