This month's recipes come from members of the National Federation of the Blind of West Virginia.
Easy-for-Monday-Evening Chicken
by Marcus Soulsby
Marcus Soulsby is the treasurer of the National Federation of the Blind of West Virginia. He is also the affiliate's Pre-Authorized Check (PAC) Plan chairman and youth coordinator. Marcus is a computer programmer for the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection.
1 1/2 to 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 can Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 8-ounce container sour cream
1 package Lipton onion soup mix
2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash's chicken seasoning
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup milk
Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine sour cream, soup, and milk. Mix until thoroughly blended--about five minutes by hand. Stir in about half of the onion soup mix, and then add the black pepper and Mrs. Dash's chicken seasoning. Thoroughly mix. Add the remaining onion soup mix and stir. Place chicken pieces in a small or medium casserole dish. Spoon mixture over the chicken. Cover with foil and bake for one hour or until the chicken is done.
Sweet and Sour Ribs
by Sandy Cain
Sandy Cain is secretary of the Harrison County Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of West Virginia. She works at a local daycare center and enjoys crocheting and other crafts.
4 to 5 country-style ribs
2 apples (any variety will do)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cans sauerkraut
Method: Place the country-style ribs in a slow cooker. Thinly slice the two apples and cover the ribs with them. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples, and pour the two cans of sauerkraut over the brown sugar. Place the lid on the slow cooker, and cook on low for eight hours or on medium for six hours. Use a fork to test the ribs for doneness. If preparing this dish in an oven, bake the ribs in a covered casserole (prepared as above) at 350 degrees for about an hour.
Easy Beef Stroganoff
by Mary Fish
Mary Fish is president of the Sightless Workers' Guild of Wheeling, West Virginia, and she serves as its representative on the National Federation of the Blind of West Virginia board of directors. Until her retirement Mary and her husband owned and operated Fish Furniture in Moundsville.
2 pounds round steak
Garlic powder
2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 8-ounce container sour cream
Method: Trim off all fat and cut steak into small pieces. Brown in butter and garlic powder. Drain all juices and discard them. Mix the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Place the sautéed beef in this mixture and stir well. Transfer beef and sauce to an ovenproof dish. Cover and bake for three hours at 300 degrees. Serve over rice or noodles. This makes four servings. If you like more mushrooms in your stroganoff, you can slice and sauté them before combining with the beef mixture, but be sure to drain them well before adding.
Easy Baked Steak
by Sheri Koch
Sheri Koch is second vice president of the West Virginia affiliate and president of its Kanawha Valley Chapter. She is also the program supervisor of Blind and Visually Impaired Services of the West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services.
3 pounds cubed steak
3 cans Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cans Campbell's condensed golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
Peanut oil
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine soups and sour cream and set this mixture aside. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic. Thoroughly coat meat cubes with the flour mixture and pound the pieces until the flour adheres. Brown the coated meat in peanut oil. In a large casserole dish layer browned meat and soup mixture, ending with soup on top. Bake uncovered for forty-five minutes.
West Virginia Fresh Apple Cake
by Barbara Olive
Barbara Olive is treasurer of the Kanawha Valley Chapter. She owns two puppies, and she enjoys quilting and other crafts.
1-1/2 cups Wesson oil
2 cups sugar
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups West Virginia apples, diced (One presumes that, in the absence of apples from the Mountaineer State, those from any other state will suffice in a pinch.)
1 cup black walnuts
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Method: Beat together oil and sugar. Add beaten eggs, then remaining ingredients just until the flour mixture is incorporated. Bake in an oblong cake pan at 325 degrees for forty-five minutes.
Date Nut Cookies with Caramel Icing
by Joyce Porter
Joyce Porter is the corresponding secretary of the Huntington Area Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of West Virginia. She says that these cookies were a big hit with her coworkers last Christmas.
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dates, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Method: Add baking soda to the sour cream, combine other ingredients, and mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for ten to twelve minutes.
Perfect Caramel Icing
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup melted butter
1/4 cup Carnation evaporated milk
1 cup (possibly a bit more) confectioners' sugar
Method: Combine evaporated milk, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring only at the beginning to mix. Let this mixture boil for one minute. Remove from heat and beat in a little over a cup of confectioners' sugar. Spread the icing on cooled cookies.

We cannot simply blame the media for the influx of eating disorders in the Western World and weight conscious ten year olds. Yes, they do not help, but I did not starve myself to look beautiful. I would like to make that clear. I'm pretty sure not one of the girls I was in hospital with thought their bones were beautiful, or were striving to look like a catwalk model. Eating disorders and self starvation have been around for a lot longer than Victoria Beckham or Paris Hilton, they were not understood or recognised as they are today, but their is evidence throughout history of women (predominantly) starving themselves. In the 12th and 13th century there was a phenomenom called 'the holy anorexia', women starving themselves in order to show total devotion to God. This was praised and glorified. In the 16th century fasting women were condemned as witches and burned at the stake (and I thought inpatient treatment was bad!) Clearly we cannot simply blame the media and the size zero phenomenom for the skinny trend, however, there is no escaping the fact that it has increased the pressure for men and women to look a certain (unrealistic) way.
Knowledge is power
Sunday, 25 March 2012
As part of my course at uni, i've been doing a lot of research into the way we are influenced regarding body image, particularly focusing on women. The project has led me to some terrifying statistics; up to 69% of female uni students will experience episodes of bulimia at some point, by the age of 13, 60% of young girls have begun to diet (Sternhell). These figures seemed to me at first glance unbelievable, so I cast my thoughts back to me, at the age of 13. I was weight conscious and attempting to diet, however, I cannot exactly use myself as an example of a 'typical' woman when it comes to relationship with food. I was most certainly not the only one worried about their weight though, many girls I was at school with expressed concerns over their bodies. I remember vividly standing in the selfridges changing rooms with my bean pole of a best friend, both of us agonizing over our hips. We found solace and comfort in the fact that we were both preoccupied with the same body worries. Why? What drives to worry, regardless of age, or sex? Although most do not take it to the eating disorder extreme, weight preoccupation is clearly a prevalent issue in our society. Many blame the media, the size zero models parading down the catwalk, the cover of heat magazine supporting a statement about yet another celelbs weight, the fad diets. To an extent, this is fair. Being thin is glorified and praised, sometimes disgustingly so. During my first hospital admission, I was granted weekend leave. Mum and I decided to go shopping and for a drink. We were in Knightsbridge when I was approached not once, but twice, by people questioning me about if i'd ever considered modeling. Both stated I had the perfect figure. I am 5 foot 2, not model material. I was approached because of my weight. Even remembering it makes my skin crawl, I was a walking skeleton, wandering around the shops with people staring and nudging each other. I had lost all the color from my face and every rib was prominent. I did not smile. After being cooped up in my unit for the past week, with only a few hours contact with anyone but medical staff and other anorexics, the amount of people milling about in Harvey Nichols was daunting. I was terrified to try on any clothes, scared after my mere week of re-feeding and my weight gain of just over a kilo, nothing would fit. I was the furthest from beautiful anyone could be. These people were not interested in attractive people modeling their products, they wanted a clothes hanger. "You are a real size zero!" one of them had said, "great". Size zero at this point was too big for me. It was not beautiful, it was not aspirational, yet these people thought it would sell products. Sick. There has been so much talk about things changing in the industry, about size zeros not being used...I think I proved this is not the case. My illness and wasting was being praised. I'm pretty sure if my mother had been in possesion of a gun at the time, Harvey Nicks would still be scrubbing blood off the walls.

The hardest running race I think I have ever done was the Langdale Horseshoe Fell Race. At 21.1km long and with 1450m of total ascent it was a killer (that's 12.5 miles and 4600 feet in old money). The route starts and finishes at The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel and takes in Thunacar Knott, Bowfell, Crinkle Crags and Pike O'Blisco. The worst part of it was that they have set times at which they close the checkpoints. This means that you have to get there before the checkpoint closes, or you are disqualified. The first checkpoint with a closing time is Esk Hause Shelter and I remember struggling to approach this with time running out. I was pushing hard, back of the field, with my brother encouraging me, although it looked as though he was floating effortlessly across the fells beside me. I was convinced I would not make it, but I did, with probably only a minute or two to spare. There was a moment of relief, then the crushing realisation that I was able to carry on! Only 40 mins to get to the top of Bowfell… The problem with just meeting the target was that meeting the next target was harder, and so it went on. I got round, I was nearly last, but I finished making it past each checkpoint just before they closed. After the event I remember an 'encouraging' friend saying "Why were you so rubbish?" I forget my response…
There are a couple of tenuous analogies I want to draw out here. The first relates to NHS finances. If you fail to get across the line at the end of the financial year, and post a deficit, then you don't get sent down the mountain for an early shower. Instead you carry on the next year, but with the previous year's deficit taken off at the start. This means that if you are already struggling with the money, then next year is harder. You have to keep running, but the checkpoints become harder and harder to reach as you go on. Getting out of this downward spiral is tricky. We (my CCG) have just found ourselves in this difficulty. Posting a deficit last year means we start with less this year. This is one of the reasons we find ourselves in the Capped Expenditure Process (CEP). I have recently mentioned this in a couple of blogs (No Stone Unturned and Coalition). We are at the point now of taking our provisional plans to our next Governing Body – you can read the papers here. We are looking for the Governing Body to approve our approach and take things forwards. There is much work still to do, and nothing will be enacted before the public have been engaged in developing proposals and quality impact assessments have been undertaken. Final plans will in some cases be brought back to Governing Body for final sign-off. When speaking to colleagues about the need to achieve financial stability, people use a couple of words which always draw attention, namely 'rationing' and 'cuts'. I can see why, although I think if we get this right there is less cause for alarm, and more of an opportunity to get things right for our area.
This is about living within our means. It's about ensuring that we only spend the money allocated to us to spend (this was the main point of discussion in my last blog, No Stone Unturned). We have a 'gap' of about £30m locally. Our plans look to bridge this gap in a number of ways, and I want to use the blog as an opportunity to explore the possible scenarios we may develop to do this.
One of the areas we are looking at is referrals from Primary Care. There are currently many patients who get referred on to hospital by their GP who actually could be managed better in a different way. Reviewing our approaches to referrals should not affect quality, so long as we have alternatives in place, and are able to disseminate best GP practice. There are various ways we could look to do this. We already use a company called Medefer to help provide advice and guidance to GPs to avoid unnecessary referral. We are also considering peer review and ongoing education to ensure patients receive the care they need in the most appropriate place (which is not necessarily with a consultant!)
Thinking back to my fell race, it would have been nice to have arrived at Esk Hause Shelter will plenty of time to spare. I could have pressed on happy in the knowledge that even if I needed a brief rest, or to slow down, that I could do so without worrying about hitting the next checkpoint in time. The NHS has a variety of targets, and it is always nice to exceed them with a comfortable margin. One of the targets that our local hospital is currently exceeding is the Referral to Treatment (waiting time) target (RTT). This target essentially states that 92% of people referred by their GP will wait no longer than 18 weeks from referral to treatment (if required). The hospital currently meets this standard for 97% of patients. By changing referral practice, we can bring ourselves in line with other areas so that the national standard is met. Urgent cases, particularly patients presenting with symptoms that would turn out to be cancer, would not be affected by this change in referral practice.
If you need to save money but want to continue to meet your constitutional targets, then this is an obvious place to look – we think we can still meet the standard for 92% of patients (which is what we are required to do) by slipping our performance down from 97%. This, may mean longer waiting times for some patients (please note that for urgent cases, particularly patients presenting with symptoms that could turn out to be cancer, there are other targets and we are NOT talking about them.).
The obvious problem is that if you aim to just achieve the target then there is a greater chance that you will miss it. This is a risk that we will be running and we are, in fact, likely to fail this target at times during the year, although we are planning to be delivering again before the year is out.
This is an example of something we are doing to help with costs while balancing patient need. We need to spend some time thinking through the implications and running the quality impact assessment on this and other ideas, but it gives you an idea of where we are at.
I am keen to hear views on this and on other elements of the CEP. I suggest you keep an eye on this blog and future blogs as well as other communications from the CCGs.

As of this posting (10:19pm CST), CNN is reporting Sen. Hillary Clinton the victor in the Pennsylvania primary, 10 points ahead of Sen. Barack Obama and 88% of the precincts reporting.
The exit polls were already showing a sharp division per CNN:
Exit polls indicated that Philadelphia and its suburbs made up more than 30 percent of the vote, and those boxes were tilted heavily toward Obama. But Clinton supporters turned out heavily in Pittsburgh and the counties of western Pennsylvania, and she was racking up similarly lopsided margins in the state's industrial northeast, those surveys found.
Clinton was expected to clench the blue collar workers while Obama drew in the college vote. The Democratic electorate in Pennsylvania includes more college-educated voters — a voting bloc that has reliably supported Obama.
The exit polls (2,217 respondents) also showed 59% of voters were women and 41% men. 52% of the males were for Obama and 57% of the females were for Sen. Clinton. Looks like in Pennsylvania the men stuck with the male candidate and the women stayed with the female candidate.
Voters under 40 years old were for Obama; over 40 for Clinton.
David Paul Kuhn of The Politico gives his explanation for how Clinton pulled off Pennsylvania.

One of the largest book distributors in the country, Ingram will expand Barnes & Noble's distribution network with 11 distribution centers. With the addition, the book giant said it would be able to deliver books overnight to most U.S. consumers. Barnesandnoble.com, a joint venture from Barnes & Noble and Bertelsmann AG, will also profit from enhanced distribution network.
Ingram is also major book supplier to arch rival Amazon.com, which issued a statement stressing its diversity of suppliers. " Our long-term strategy has been to diversify our supplier base and to increase our direct purchasing from publishers," it said. "We anticipate that this trend will continue for some time to come."
Yet, Amazon.com also cautioned that many independent book stores rely on Ingram as their sole source of books, and this move undoubtedly raises concerns in the industry. "We hope that Ingram resolves those concerns with a strong commitment to treating all bookstores fairly," Amazon.com added.

My job is amazing in so many ways: the people, the work, the environment, the work. Don't worry, I know how blessed I am - I know it isn't normal to love your job - and I am so grateful that I do.
This is the only thing I don't love about my job: my bland cubicle. In fact, I love working at this desk, but I just don't like how it looks. I guess that means I wasn't meant to be a gym teacher forever since I really do love sitting at this desk. Chalk that up to fun projects and fun neighbors and an amazing job.
So here's my dilemma - how do I make this cube feel comfy and cozy? Here's a bigger dilemma - how do I do it without spending a ton of money.
I've been thinking about doing this for months, but I have absolutely no good ideas. All of my ideas involve spending lots of money on nice office supplies - there has to be a way to DIY this. There just has to be.
So far, this layout has been perfect. I don't plan to rearrange anything, just upgrade a little. Here's what's happening inside the cube -
— Computer #1: the laptop. Used for photo shoots, off-site work, and all day-to-day assignments. I use two screens here: the laptop screen and a large screen I connect to every morning.
— Computer #2: the graphics computer. Used only for creating, editing and rendering videos. This work requires a super-fast, super-powerful and super-incredible computer. (If you've never had two screens for you computer, you must try it, it is amazing.)
— Post-its: They are everywhere and they are absolutely necessary. If I'm given a quick assignment and it's not on a post-it, chances are very high that I will forget it. I go through a lot of post-its.
— The rest: office supply basics. Pens, pencils, phone, a place for snacks/drinks, my calendar, paper storage, other boring stuff.
Ok, so
In this corner I'd like to:
— add a lot of color
— add illustrated art for inspiration
— find a better place for my post-its
— figure out how to hide all of those ugly cords
The space under the graphics computer has become my storage area. It's where I keep my Christmas decorations. During Christmas, my cube feels comfy and cozy everyday. Now I just need to figure out how to make it comfy and cozy even when it's not Christmas!
If you have any ideas on how to spice things up, please share! Have you faced this dilemma as well? I'll be scouring Pinterest for ideas and I'll let you know if I find anything!
ps. TGIF! Am I right?

This column originally appeared on The American Thinker on September 2, 2009.
The Washington Post's behavior lately goes so far beyond mere bias that it looks like a caricature cooked up by a comedian or saboteur. The paper's bid to fix the Virginia gubernatorial election is right out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.
Alinsky, the communist organizer who was Barack Obama's political lodestar, prescribes a simple strategy to win: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." (p. 130) The Post has launched a bald-faced attempt to "freeze" GOP candidate Robert McDonnell. It would be funny if it were not such a serious breach of journalistic ethics.
The campaign began on August 30, with a top of the page, single column headline, "'89 Thesis a Different Side of McDonnell: Va. GOP candidate Wrote on Women, Marriage and Gays." It was right next to a gigantic, five-column headline honoring Ted Kennedy: 'We Loved This Kind and Tender Hero.' Just below was a photo of a mourner holding a large American flag.
Ted a hero! McDonnell a fundamentalist bigot! Over on the front page of the Post's Outlook section, there was also a giant headline, saying, "We Have the HOPE" (the latter word all caps in at least 72-point type) with a photo of Kennedy applauding as Obama looks heroically skyward. The rest of the headline below the photo reads, "Now Where's the Audacity? Ted Kennedy passed the liberal torch to Obama. Now let's run with it."
You mean he hasn't been running with it? What about those trillions spent, the radical social agenda and appointees, the threat to take over the nation's health care and to strangle industry with a cap and trade carbon tax? Never let it be said that liberals are easily satisfied. Even when you're working on 99 percent of their agenda, they're accusing you of dogging it. Well, why not? It seems to work.
But back to the Post's attack on McDonnell. As a grad student at what became Regent University, McDonnell penned a paper in 1989 that focuses a Biblical lens on public policy. A Post reporter doing opposition research turned it up. Perhaps the most egregious assertion in the Post's eyes is McDonnell's use of the term "fornicators" to describe people who engage in, well, fornication. He didn't think the law should give those folks the same marital rights as those of folks who take a marriage vow.
The shot on Aug. 30 was followed by more, and then a lead editorial on Sept. 1, "Bob McDonnell, Culture Warrior." Now, it's not bad per se to be a culture warrior. It's okay if you want to redefine marriage, teach children that "safe" fornication and sodomy are fun and inevitable, oppose partial-birth abortion bans, ensure an onslaught of pornography and illegal immigration, expand government and redistribute income as fast as possible. But if you believe that God's plan for natural marriage should be reflected in the law, that sex outside marriage should be discouraged for everyone's benefit, especially children's, then you are a "culture warrior" of a different sort.
After three days of pounding McDonnell, who polls show has anywhere from a seven to 14-point lead over his liberal Democratic opponent, R. Creigh Deeds, the Post ran this front-page headline, also on Sept. 1:
"Governor's Race Erupts Over McDonnell's Past Views." This is like throwing gasoline on a dwelling, lighting it, fanning it, and stepping back to point and scream, "House Erupts in Fire!"
Actually, a lot of news organizations do this. You run an investigative piece and then step back to report on the fallout. This worked in 2006, when the Post constantly repeated Sen. George Allen's "macaca" quip, often on the front page, right up to election day. By the time they were done casting Allen as a vicious, perhaps dangerous, bigot, they got their Democrat Senator in Jim Webb.
If it worked with Allen, why not use it on McDonnell?
Part of Allen's undoing was his attempt to apologize, spilling blood in the water. It led only to more attacks. McDonnell appears to be repeating the error, saying he no longer believes what he once wrote.
One thing the Post is reporting in hushed breath as if it were Richard Nixon's heretofore secret list of illegal contributors is McDonnell's shocking contention that schools should teach character education that conveys "traditional Judeo-Christian values."
Unless McDonnell wants to go down Allen's trail, he might consider giving a bold defense of the importance of Judeo-Christian values to the founding and continued success of our free republic.
Post editors are so accustomed to politicians caving that it might throw them off. At the least, they might have to spend more hours in Rules for Radicals before launching their next attack packaged as "news."

SOUTH BEND -- It has been awhile since Mishawaka's Cavemen turned in a quality basketball performance equal to what they did at Clay Friday night. "Probably our best since the Gary Roosevelt game (Jan. 6)," said Mishawaka coach Robb Berger after a 69-56 Northern Indiana Conference victory over Clay. Led by a career-high 28 points from Craig Heatherly, Mishawaka smothered the Colonials with 62 percent shooting on its way to a 16-3 record. Heatherly packed up 11 rebounds and six assists to go with his performance. "Our perimeter players did a nice job of setting each other up, then knocking down shots,'' added Berger. Heatherly collected his 28 points on 9-for-16 shooting, plus 8-for-14 at the line. Davon Williams scored 18 on 7-for-10 shooting. Kyle Heatherly had 13 on 6-for-6. "It's not hard to shoot like that when you don't play any defense, but give Mishawaka credit,'' said Clay coach Joe Huppenthal. "We did not defend. Shake it and bake it any way you want to, the bottom line is we did not defend. This team is becoming a mystery to me. We can't get five players to play their A game at the same time, and I don't know how to solve that. "We thought turnovers would be a problem, but they were not (only six).'' One who did have his A game was Antonio Capers off the bench with 13 points. "Capers played well,'' said Huppenthal. Mateen Kenny scored 12, all in the first half. At halftime Kenny was one of seven Clay players with one foul each. But he collected a foul a minute once the third period started, and sat down with four with 5:12 left in the quarter. He checked back in with 6:22 to play and fouled out in nine seconds. Clay had its only lead at 2-0. Mishawaka opened a 19-point lead, 60-41 in the fourth period. An 8-0 Clay run wrapped by a 3-point play from Daniel Payne cut the gap to 60-49 with 2:26 to play, but the Colonials never came any closer. Clay plays tonight at Indianapolis Washington after taking a detour to watch Purdue this afternoon.
MISHAWAKA (69): Jared Wallace 1 2-2 4, Kyle Heatherly 6 0-0 13, Colin Wojtysiak 1 0-0 2, Davon Williams 7 1-1 18, Craig Heatherly 9 8-14 28, Jim Ross 0 0-0 0, Josh Fulton 2 0-0 4. TOTALS: 26 11-17 69.

Docs Detail Crimes of MS-13 Gang Members Housed in Border Patrol Processing Center
One of the most dangerous gangs in the U.S. is taking advantage of the crisis on our southern border.
Exclusive documents obtained by Townhall.com's Katie Pavlich detail the crimes committed by MS-13 gang members that are being housed in a Border Patrol processing center in Nogales, Ariz.
Ad Offers More Than $6K Per Month to House Illegal Immigrant Minors
Read background from Townhall.com:
Now, Border Patrol documents newly obtained exclusively by Townhall detail the crimes MS-13 and other gang members in the Nogales processing center admit to committing.
In an interview with Border Patrol agents, 15-year-old self admitted MS-13 member with the last name Aguilar said he killed a member of rival gang 18th Street six months ago with a fully automatic Uzi before coming to the United States.
"He claims he walked over to the wounded rival, and emptied the magazine into the rival's body," interview documents show.
Aguilar also admitted to, "being involved in extortion for the gang," and "collecting money from local vendors and threatening them if they refused to pay."
Another MS-13 member with the last name Garcia admitted to receiving a phone call while in the processing center from El Salvador with orders to carry out a murder on a rival gang member.
"Garcia stated he received a call from homeboy who is incarcerated in an El Salvadoran prison. This individual ordered Garcia to kill a rival 18th Street gang member," documents state. "Garcia stated his plans were to reunite in Los Angeles with is father."
Sen. Rubio: Immigration Crisis 'An Indictment of All of Washington'
Pavlich was on "Fox and Friends," where she explained that these reputed gang members are now scheduled for placement in the U.S. She said that the typical procedure is to give them an immigration hearing and ask them to show up, but about 97 percent don't show up for their court date.
"We have a very serious public safety concern on our hands when Border Patrol can't separate these people out from the general population," she said.

Every year, parents and police departments worry about tricks in their kids' Halloween treats: razor blades in apples, poison in candy bars.
But incidents of candy poisoning are very, very rare -- if they exist at all.
"There have never been any substantiated cases of strangers tampering with Halloween candy," said Susan Whiteside, in an email to Booster Shots Friday. Whiteside is a spokesperson for the National Confectioners Assn., which provides an FAQ on Halloween candy safety and coordinates with law enforcement to track reports of tainted treats.
The Los Angeles Times has written about popular misconceptions about tampered Halloween candy. In this report from 1985, Anne C. Roark noted that one L.A.-area hospital had been X-raying candy for four years and never found anything. Four years later, columnist Mike Spencer pounded the message home, calling candy poisoning "a myth."
Both stories featured the work of sociologist Joel Best. In the 1980s, Best was a professor at Cal State Fresno; today he teaches at the University of Delaware. He has devoted almost 30 years to debunking the "Halloween sadism" myth, addressing it in books and scholarly papers and at great length on his website (where you can find updated information, including a catalog of reports of Halloween poisonings that later turned out to have other explanations).

I slung my leg over your hips and straddled you. The lace from my lingerie brushing my thighs, and across your skin. I leaned down to brush my lips against yours and felt your cock jump between my thighs. I ran my hands up your arms, grabbed your hands and lifted them until they touched the wall behind your head.
I looked you in the eyes and said "Stay."
Your eyes flashed and your hips rocked and I smiled.
I kissed my way down your arms, your face. I flicked my tongue across your nipple, closed my lips around and bit down lightly. I tongued my way down your tattoo, licking my way down your ribs to your hips. I slid my tongue along the lines of your pelvis, knowing the next stop was your cock, dying to get there, but wanting to prolong the anticipation. I licked the top of your cock and glanced up to see your hands pull off the wall for a moment, but you quickly put them back. I slipped your whole cock into my mouth, swirling the tip with my tongue, taking deep pulls with my throat. I had been thinking about the way your cock tasted for days. The way your skin tasted under my tongue. The way your salty precum tastes, and the glorious way your cum would surge out of your cock, filling my mouth and throat. It was all I had thought about for days.
But I didn't let you come in my mouth, no matter how much I loved it, for there was something I wanted more. Your cock buried to the hilt in my cunt. The feeling of you burying deep, then sliding out, as I tightened to keep you inside. I slid up your body, trying to hold out for the moment where I would feel your dick slide into my body. With one last breath, I sat up, and slid down to fill myself with your cock. For a moment it was all I could do to accept your size, to feel you fill me.
Then I started to rock against you, the shocks of electricity as I rode your cock beneath me. The way the head felt as it rubbed against my insides. I felt my pace quicken, and I began to beg for you to fuck me. I could feel myself start to cum, my muscles clenching you as I came all over your dick. My cunt milking yours. I heard you call my name, felt your cock spasm inside me, felt your hot cum filling me up.
I collapsed against your chest, reaching up to pull your hands into me. I laid my head on your chest, feeling both our breaths hitch and placed a kiss on your chest.

She was beautiful. Laying there naked, with her legs open so I could sit between them. Her nipples were hard from where I had been playing with them, pinching them, rolling them between my fingers, flicking them with my tongue. I had worked my way down her body, stopping to nibble on her hip, and kissing my way to her thighs.
I was pressing my lips to her inner thigh and I could see how wet she was, as she tried to angle her pussy closer to my mouth. I switched to the other thigh, letting my breath fall for a moment on her open pussy, and my own clenched in response. I kissed my way towards her core, and used my fingers to open her. I slid a finger along the opening and she gasped and bucked when I reached her clit. I rubbed it with my thumb, and slid a finger inside. Her cunt was hot and wet and tight. I could feel my own clit throbbing, and I leaned in and used the tip of my tongue to flick it.
Then big broad strokes in rhythm with the pumping of my fingers. In, out. Up, down. Her hips were rocking towards me, pushing her hard against my face. I wrapped my tongue around her clit and sucked gently. I could hear her getting louder, her movements getting quicker. As she let out a long moan, I could feel her walls clench around my fingers and gave her one more light pull. I slid my fingers out and reached them up towards her face, and slid them into her mouth, where she noisily sucked. My turn.
Begging. Pleading.

He grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked me around. He pushed me to his knees and demanded I take off his pants. This was his favorite punishment, but I always secretly enjoyed it. I unzipped his pants and pulled them down, and glanced up at his hard cock. Just looking at made me wet again. I knew if I did as he wanted, soon he would be inside me. So I took him into my mouth, running my tongue up and down the shaft and swirling at the tip.
"God, you love that don't you, you dirty little slut" he growled.
He used his grip on my hair to force himself farther down my throat. I licked and sucked until his breathing got shallow and his thrusts more forceful. He pulled himself out, and I waited for his next move.
Instead of pulling me up, he came down. He turned me over and pushed me onto all fours. I spread my legs as I felt him kneeling behind me. He rubbed his cock against my ass and I thought for a moment he would slide it in, but instead he continued on till he reached my pussy, where he slid in an inch. I could feel my insides clench around him, my cunt ready to be filled.
"Beg me" he said.
"Please, please" I said.
"Oh god, please, I".
Before I was done, he slid himself in and my sentence broke off as I enjoyed the sensation of fullness. He began to rock himself into me harder and faster and in no time at all my orgasm was building. He reached around and rubbed a circle around my nipple. Then he pinched it between his fingers, and that twinge of pain set me off. I could feel the spasms of my orgasm, and they forced his.
We collapsed onto the floor, with him laying behind me. He wrapped his arm around me and stroked my hair.
"You did great baby" he said.
Willing. Waiting.

He opened the door and I walked in with my head down, not knowing what would happen. He pulled me against his chest, so my back was pressed to his front. He slipped his hand down and cupped me. I barely held in a moan.
"Did you do as I asked? Did you leave your panties in the car?" He asked.
"Yes" I mumbled.
"Yes what?" he said sternly as he squeezed harder.
I bit my lips to keep from crying out as I said "Yes sir."
He pushed me forward till I was bent over the half wall in the hallway. He slid his hands up and down my thighs, and leaned down to nip on my shoulder. "Good girl" He said.
I didn't know what to expect. Would he just take me there on the wall, no games? Would he push me down to my knees so I could take him into my mouth? Before I even finished the thought I felt him push my legs apart and felt his fingers brush my ass before heading to my pussy where he softly brushed along my wet opening. I was shocked by the gentleness of his touch. He continued to slide his fingers up and down, my arousal growing. And then I felt the abrupt absence. I whimpered. And then smack, I felt his hand connect with my ass and I cried out. Smack, smack, smack. I was so wet it was running down my thighs but I didn't even notice. All I could feel was the throbbing coming from my cunt.
"Do you like that?" He whispered in my ear.
"Y-yes sir" I stammered.
Smack, smack. One right after another till I could feel the redness turn to heat. And then he slid two fingers inside me, fast and hard. My head dropped down as I struggled not to move. He never allowed me to buck or ride his fingers, he wanted me perfectly still. He didn't move for a moment, and I soon felt as if I would die if one of us didn't move. He kissed my shoulder at the same moment as he began to slide his fingers in and out. I couldn't help it, I jerked forward. He immediately pulled his fingers out and smacked me. Hard. I stilled. He slid his fingers back in and this time I managed not to move. He pumped harder and faster, while his other hand slid around to rub my clit. In seconds I was coming all over him, my hips bucking on their own, as I moaned his name. I knew I would pay for disobeying, but I didn't care, it had felt so good.
To be continued..

I am aching. My cunt is begging to be filled. With your fingers, your tongue, your cock. Oh god, cock. Hot and hard I want it to fill me, almost to the point of pain. I want to stretch to accept you, feel that sweet slide. Spread me wide and shove your hard dick into my wet, needy pussy. Even as I write this I spread my fingers over the dampness of my panties, craving...
Driving me Crazy.

I love the feel of his weight on me, his hips pressed into mine. My legs open to cradle hims. I know he loves it when I slide my legs up and down his, he loves it when I wrap my legs around his waist and he can feel my wetness against his hardness. His hands are everywhere, caressing my hips, brushing my nipples and causing goosebumps to spread all over my arms. I start to move my hips, trying to get him inside me. He pulls away, causing me to growl in frustration. He kisses down my neck, stopping at my breast; sucking, licking and taking little nips that he knows drive me crazy. My legs are moving restlessly against him, I push my hips up to brush against him.
"Come on, baby. Please"
He ignores me and kisses his way down my stomach, stopping a couple times to nip or suck on my skin. My hips are moving on their own now, urging him to push into me but he continues to move slowly to my thighs. He nuzzles between my legs before he takes a long lick at my core. I start to shake and I am begging him to please take me. He just keeps licking, using his tongue to drive me crazy. He takes a long draw on my clit and sends me crashing over the edge. My orgasm rips through me and I know I am digging my nails into his back but I can't stop. He pulls his head up and kisses my thighs, my hips.
I know hes not done with me, I can feel his hard cock lying against my thigh and I reach down to grip it. Now hes the one moaning. He removes my hand and I open my legs to invite him in but he just grins. He grasps my hips and turns me over so I am lying on my stomach. And then he finally slids my legs apart and enters me. I can feel his weight on me, pushing me into the bed, making me grind against it. His mouth on my neck was making me crazy, and I could feel his pace pick up, a sign that he is close. I started to rock back against him as he thrusted forward and the motion made us both moan. A couple more thrusts and he was cumming inside me, and his frantic speed forced my own orgasm. He collapsed onto me and I embraced his familiar weight. He kissed my neck and shoulders and I smiled into the pillow.
Bath time
Sunday, July 19, 2009 at 6:57 PM {0 comments}
I was sitting between his legs with my back against his chest and we were enjoying a warm bath. His hands were idly running up and down my stomach, making stops at the valley between my breasts and down to my thighs. The movement was causing waves in the water, making it slap against my inner thighs and the place between them. His hands were making circles on my thighs; I spread my legs open slightly in invitation but he didn't seem to notice. His hands slid up towards my breasts, rolling my nipples between his fingers and making me moan. He grasped each leg and lifted them so my feet rested on each ledge of the tub, leaving me wide open and the warm water hitting my core.
I laid my head back on his shoulder, and not being able to see heightened my awareness and made me more sensitive. His fingers brushed against my lips, only slightly dipping into my wetness. I could feel one finger slide inside and start rubbing my clit. Again my hips rocked, causing the water to hit me. One finger slid deep inside my cunt while his thumb continued to make circles on my clit. My fingers were digging into his thighs and I could feel him getting hard at the small of my back. His fingers were pumping into me in rhythm with the circles on my clit and I was grinding myself into his hand. I started coming in spasms, the rocking motions causing the water to splash against the sides of the tub. After a few moments my heart returned to normal, and I pulled my legs down and rubbed my hands down his legs. He was kissing my neck and whispering how sexy I looked as I came. I pulled myself up and stepped out of the tub. I turned around and held out my hand. He grabbed hold and we walked towards the bedroom.

There were many strong music videos this week, and a couple that I loved, from actual adults. But no grown-up is going to beat a charged-up mob of Minneapolis children rapping about bikes and school uniforms. I'm sorry. It's just not ever going to happen. Our picks for the week are below.
5. Queens Of The Stone Age – "If I Had A Tail" (Dir. Boneface & Liam Brazier)
I've been enjoying QOTSA's sustained effort to turn vast chunks of their album into soundtracks for nightmarish videogame-cutscene killscapes, though they might be better if they had any story to tell or any real point beyond "check out some fucked up shit." This one wins because it reminds me of both Akira and Spy Hunter, and because it actually has a girl in it for once.
4. Melody's Echo Chamber – "Some Time Alone, Alone" (Dir. Grant Singer)
It's amazing what happens when you remove all the sounds — the dings and whooshes and rollercoaster-screams and carny barking and Eddie Money songs coming out of shitty loudspeakers and general teenage-mob tumult — from a state-fair midway at nighttime. If you take all that stuff out and replace it with a lovely soft-focus psych-pop song, you've got a total dreamscape on your hands. And if you've got Melody Prochet floating through it all like a cloud, so much the better.
3. Kendrick Lamar – "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" (Dir. The Lil Homies & OG Mike Mihail)
A beautifully shot video of a ridiculously charismatic performer doing a great job, but the first time you watch it, you're wondering why all these people are so fired up and happy at a godddam funeral. And even though the punchline has the same sort of old-man rap grousing as, say, Jay-Z's "D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune)," it's an actual punchline, and I laughed. Bonus points for the extended version with the little bit of a new Schoolboy Q song at the end.
2. Mikal Cronin – "Change" (Dir. Claire Marie Vogel)
This is a seriously funk punk-rock slice-of-life video even before the invisible man shows up, and the special effects are pretty great for what must be a pretty tiny budget. But the real reason to watch this one is, of course, the admirably sweet story, the utterly relatable feeling of being a kid who's trying and failing and finally succeeding at finding a place for yourself in some freak scene. I've felt something like that final smile a few times in my life, and I cherish all of them.
1. Y.N.RichKids – "My Bike" & The NSJ Crew – "Khaki Pants" (Dir. Ben Hughes)
You can't ask me to choose between Y.N.RichKids' video about riding bikes and the Y.N.RichKids side project's video about looking cool while wearing your school uniform. You just can't. It's impossible. They both win. It's been almost a year since "Hot Cheetos & Takis," and it does my heart good to know that these kids are still rapping like unhinged adorable demons and that they've apparently become local heroes in their hometown. They're hanging out with Slug and Brother Ali! They're doing synchronized bike-dances at the Vikings' training facility! They're getting piggyback rides from roller derby girls and baseball mascots! They're skipping their fancy pants and doing the khaki dance! Pay special attention to Ben 10, the little screaming kid with the dreads and the Angry Birds shirts, because he is the best kid. If I had a record label, I would sign him immediately. I'd sign all of them.

Police Blotter, November 11: Driver arrested for operating while intoxicated in Troy; Man hits tree after drinking
Driver arrested for OWI after being involved in fatal accident
At about 6:59 p.m. on Nov. 3, a 1999 Toyota Camry was turning left from westbound Long Lake Road on to Saddle Brook Court and failed to yield to a 2002 Lincoln LS driving eastbound, Troy police said.
The Lincoln hit the Toyota's passenger side, leaving its front passenger, a 68-year-old Warren woman, trapped and unresponsive in the car.
Troy police and paramedics from Alliance Mobile Health began life support, and the woman was extricated and taken to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, where she was pronounced dead. The Toyota's driver, a 66-year-old Sterling Heights woman, had minor injuries.
The driver of the Lincoln was uninjured, but was arrested for operating while intoxicated.
Three beers, one curb and one tree
At about 9:24 p.m. on Nov. 2, Troy police found a car that had driven into the dead end of Equity Drive, located off of Maplelawn Drive, continued over a curb, driven over a tree and then fell into a hotel parking lot, landing on its roof.
When police arrived, they found the driver outside of the rolled-over car and talking. He told police he had drank three "large" beers and "probably should not have been driving," according to a release from the Troy Police Department.
The 63-year-old Warren man was taken to a hospital for a blood draw and evaluation before being taken to jail and charged with operating while intoxicated.

We're recovering from our trip to Seattle to celebrate Drayton's birthday with him.
But first, I went with a Friend to Paloma, Chihuahua, Mexico, who was transporting computers to and from an educational project down there. The first picture is of high school students at a computer lab in the town library, which had Internet connections; the high school does not. To go beyond elementary school, students have to pay so much a month (I think it's $25 ... in an impoverished city with VERY high unemployment, not many can do so). Step outside into the street, look north, and there's our border wall, just a few blocks away. The picture of the old Victorian house was taken with my new iPad; I think it will serve well as a back-up camera, as well as in other ways.
On the other hand, I thought I would get smart and upgrade iPhoto in my MacBook ... and now I have trouble linking to some of my more recent photos. I need a 17-year-old tech aide!
A wonderful revisitation for me was the Pike Place Market in Seattle. I remember it as an awesome place of sights, sounds, smells and people ... it still is. We did birthday supper at the Crabpot ... great seafood!
Sunday we went to Space Needle area (didn't go up) and, thanks to Sandy, toured the Pacific Science Center ... with LOTS of families. What a great discovery area it is, with very helpful aides all along the way. Very interactive
Palomas is associated with Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, NM, just a few miles north. That brought down Pershing and the U.S. Army. I've noticed that Villa's statue in front of the Palomas City Hall, a few hundred feet from the border, always has a pigeon on top of it. Now I know why ... there's a nest in Villa's hat.
I haven't been back to the Pacific NW since I left for grad school in 1964 ... a lot has changed! This was Sandy's first trip to the area and, for both of us, it was our first trip around the Olympic Peninsula. On our first day there, Friday, March 30, Sandy kindly put up with me doing searches for past residences ... I found three of them, though the 8x42 trailer daughter Beth was brought home to is long gone (thank goodness!). I could hardly recognize Pacific Lutheran University, from which I got my undergraduate degree.
The prettiest place I lived was Steilacoom, and the downtown area still has much of the old flavor, though it's surrounded by subdivisions now. The ferries still go out to some of the islands in Puget Sound, including the federal prison on McNeill Island.
The Victorian house picture was taken with my new iPad, a device I'm hoping to use as my backup camera, now that I've dropped my little Olympus too many times. I think it will work. However, I'm finding some incompatibility between old and new versions of iPhoto.
On Saturday, Drayton and Sandy and I went to Bellingham (Drayton graciously loaned us the use of his car while we were there, as well as his bed) and had lunch with Grandson Seth Underwood. 'Twas rainy, but good to see Seth and see his town. On the way back, the sun cleared as we toured the Pike Place Market in Seattle. Such a wonderful experience!
Sunday was Space Needle and Pacific Science Center day. Didn't go up the Needle, but, thanks to Sandy, we enjoyed the discovery exhibits at the Science Center. Great interactive exhibits with lots of attentive staff to help the many families that were there. The mantis even moves! And the butterfly room was delightful!
The trip around the coast was rainy, but interesting to see. We did get to the beach in a couple of places. Stayed in Port Angeles and had supper with old Park Service friends Dave and Judith Morris. Sandy is SO patient ... when old parkies get together, they tend to talk NPS stuff!
'Twas nice to get back to sun and dryness, but it was a great trip and we enjoyed being with Drayton off and on for a few days. The airports and planes ... not so much. Necessary evils in this day and age, I guess. tv

Cached poetry is a verse form that typically refers to a concept of unattainable love. Because of the structure of Italian, the rhyme scheme is like Wordsworth's "Nuns Fret Not at the Coolest Office in the World".
You might imagine a giant shoe, like the one from the old Mother Goose nursery rhyme, but to say you're an inventor sounds like a narrow concept, as if you quickly viewed only the third methodological option
to increase intensity of instruction: narrow the skill set being taught. For example, in order to learn the concept of rhyme, children cross national words (neologisms), clanging speech, meaningless rhymes. The DSM-III-R has carried on this trend toward
an able muse. The resulting poem, however, bears little resemblance to any traditional conception of a sonnet besides being "a narrow but resonant chamber", and it is "narrow" both visually and aurally, like a padded cell. Furthermore, the turn is not emphasized by a distinct change
of mind. But this is both too wide and too narrow. A child reciting by pure rote a nursery rhyme, or the multiplication-table, is going through a sort of "mini unit" or "center", being introduced to (or reviewing) the concept of rhyming.
Hopefully, the student will use logic to narrow the range of belonging, conveyed through the representations of this "fellow in the grass" or "a word dropped careless on the page" or "Early Childhood".
In November, he wrote Thomas Moore. "All convulsions end with me in rhymes written before the book's conception, in their expressions of sadness." This is a testament to Byron's abilities within the narrow compass of form.

Best 15 inch ultrabook you can buy in India in 2015
Back when ultrabooks were launched in India they did not enjoy a lot of fanfare as they were quite sluggish and had poor battery life. However with the launch of Intel Ivy Bridge followed by Haswell processors, more and more people bought them especially the 15 inch ultrabooks as they yielded much better performance and battery life. 15 inch ultrabooks are great for doing serious business and even playing games.
Ivy Bridge processors are manufactured using 28 nm manufacturing technology which implies lower TDP and less heat produced. The space inside 13 inch and 15 inch ultrabooks is not that great so manufacturers cannot equip them with big cooling systems. The newer ones come with even more advanced Haswell architecture which is made using 14 nm manufacturing technology. The 15 inch ultrabooks using haswell have passive cooling and in some cases don't even have fans built in.

The organizers of 'The First Bitcoinvention Asia 2014' to be held on 12-13 February, 2014 at the Peninsula Hotel in Makati, Manila, Philippines, are inviting speakers who can share their pearls of wisdom and experiences with the virtual currency. All the interested people who can speak up may contact the organizers as there are several vacant positions both in panels and open mic. Speakers will be sharing their views on Bitcoins and their future in Asian market.
Talking about the agenda for 'The First Bitcoinvention Asia 2014,' the release from the organizing body says that it will basically revolve around Bitcoins and will be related to the utilization of these digital coins mainly in Asia. The organizers of the event expect that speakers are experts and knowledgeable and capable in giving as well as explaining all the aspects that one needs to understand about Bitcoins.
An Opportunity for Bitcoin Leaders to Share their Views with Bitcoin Fans and Critics
Participating speakers will have unprecedented access to a knowledgeable audience that is willing to listen to the nuances of the virtual currency and its implications for markets, users, governments, etc. in Asia. The organizers of 'The First Bitcoinvention Asia 2014,' admit that for the success of the convention, inviting renowned speakers who have expert level knowledge is essential.
Event is Similar to Other Bitcoin Conferences
Like all other Bitcoin conferences held in the UK and the US, this event too will be attracting a large number of audiences and in such a situation there cannot be any better opportunity than this for Bitcoin leaders to share their views and opinions.
The organizers of 'The First Bitcoinvention Asia 2014,' admit that the complete list of speakers will be released sooner rather than later and they are waiting for the numbers to increase. They understand that unless they invite renowned speaker and experts, people are not going to take interest and for that it is roping in some leading stalwarts.
It will bring the full list of excellent and credible speakers who have the finest grasp on what as well as how incredible these digital coins are. 'Bitcoinvention' will give the complete overview of all things related to Bitcoins – from the general ones down to specific details as the speakers will be providing ample coverage to almost all subjects pertaining to the crypto-currency.
Bitcoin has been facing a lot of challenges recently, particularly, in Thailand where the government banned it. This conference will discuss all such issues.

Jacob Tonson the elder, international spy and businessman
November 28, 2016
An excerpt from an OUPblog article published on 27th November 2016, written by Stephen Bernard, editor of The Literary Correspondences of the Tonsons:
'Few have heard of him today, but Jacob Tonson the elder (1656?-1736) was undoubtedly one of the most important booksellers in the history of English literature. He numbered Addison, Behn, Congreve, Dryden, Echard, Oldmixon, Prior, Steele, and Vanbrugh among those canonical authors whom he published. His reputation was international, and the quality and range of his classical editions remained a benchmark throughout the eighteenth century. Having a reputation outside of England was an extremely rare thing for the time, and this was remarkably brought to light by a letter from Johann Rudolf Holzer (1678–1736)...'
