1. Dress in layers. The first year, I wore a long-sleeved navy dress and leggings and melted the entire day. Last year, I dressed for warmer weather and froze my tush off most of the time, especially in the morning when the fair opened. I'd recommend leggings, jeans, or a long skirt, a lightweight scarf, a short-sleeved T or dress under a sweater, and some Chucks or cowboy boots. With that combo, you should fit right in.
|If this mannequin from Stash Style had on a top and some boots,
it would be perfect. Looks like the top got blown off after the fembot boobs discharged.
3. Explore every nook and cranny. Leave no booth unturned. For instance, my mom, digging through one booth I had skipped over, discovered a sugar jar exactly like the one I have at home, which I purchased at Goodwill for our first apartment when I was 25 for $1.00. Turns out, one of the vendors was selling said sugar jar (which actually looks like someone's project from pottery class, if you ask me) for $120!! Thank goodness I didn't send it back to Goodwill like I had planned.
|Yes, I have two sugar jars. The little one is for the brown sugar we put in our coffee.
If you don't do this, you are thoroughly missing out.
5. Buy a Ya Ya Cart. With a cute liner. Then, bring a friend who doesn't really like to shop or your husband and have that person mosey along with the cart while you duck in and out of the booths (maneuvering a cart through the booths, especially on Saturday, is like trying to drive a 1975 Caprice Classic station wagon in New York City during rush hour).
|Via Modern June
7. If you have to choose a day, go on Sunday. Much less crowded than Saturdays (some shoppers on Saturday were absolute jerks, seriously. It never fails to amaze me how some people believe they don't have to wait in line like everybody else). Sunday is much more laid-back and relaxed, and you can actually get into the majority of the booths to look around without being trampled upon.
8. Eat from the quirky food trucks and skip the regular humdrum fair fare. The Sweet Carrot truck at last year's fair had the most delicious food I have tasted in a long while. The smoky brisket on sweet corncake, topped with an acidic slaw and corn salsa that cut through the mellower flavors, was out of this world (top it with Sriracha sauce, which they provide in abundance). Also, you must, must, must try Jeni's Ice Cream, especially the Salty Caramel and the Lemon Blueberry frozen yogurt. Get to Sweet Carrot early and Jeni's late (btw, my favorite Jeni's flavor: "Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk." What the what?!?!! That sounds sooooo good, right?).
9. Park in the back lot, on the side farthest from the Ohio History Center. Otherwise, you should bring hiking boots, a sherpa, and a canteen.
10. Wheel and deal. Especially late on Sunday. Almost everything is marked down then (they really don't want to pack it all back up. Some vendors even sell their display racks, tables, etc. for a steal). Pillows that were $40 sell for $20. You get the idea.
11. Finally, stay until 4:00 on Sunday. When they begin to dismantle the Country Living displays, all of the plants are sold off at bargain basement prices. Three mums for $5.00! Corn stalks galore. You could outfit your entire estate for the harvest season with very little extra cash.
I'll be reminiscing with a few other posts next week. If you've never attended the Festival, you are missing out. Go! You won't be disappointed.A/J

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is asking legislators to approve the construction of a $15 million office building in Downtown Pensacola.
If approved, the 56,000 square foot Regional Operations Center would be built near the state's existing Chappie James Building on West Government Street.
FDLE has operated since 1994 out of the historic P.K. Yonge School on North Palafox Street. Built in 1921, the building houses FDLE's Investigations and Forensic Science (including the Regional Crime Laboratory), Criminal Justice Information Services, and Criminal Justice Professionalism units. FDLE officials say the 95-year-old building is in need of "serious, costly renovations, which the landlord has been unwilling to provide."
According to the budget request, the 25-year lease includes an annual rent increase, which has resulted in a current lease cost of $33.33 per square foot — nearly double the state recommended rate of $17.18 and substantially higher than the current Escambia County average commercial rate of $22. Attempts to renegotiate the lease rate have been unsuccessful, the agency said.
The lease can only be terminated if state-owned space in Escambia County to accommodate the agency's needs, but officials say that no such space exists. They're asking legislators to sign off on an initial $3 million to engineer and design a new building. In its request to lawmakers, FDLE officials noted that sufficient space exists on the Chappie James parcel for another building, which would be within walking distance of state and federal courthouses.
A preliminary site plan, prepared for the agency in 2012, depicts a new three-story building facing West Intendencia Street.

I see a lot of questions asking what to watch next now that they have finished a series. Now, I've seen my Fair Share of TV. Here are a bunchof them that I really liked with no particular rankings.
1. Firefly
This series of fourteen episodes and a single theaterical movie of pure awesome. It's a space western about the Crew of the Serenity, Heroic Outlaws and they do crime and outwit the Alliance.
2. Archer
This is an R-Rated James bond Parody. It is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Its smart, crude, and well written.
3. Farscape
This show is like Star Trek if it was A. Good. B. Made by the Jim Henson Company which it was. C. Had balls. There are evil space sorcerers, An insane psychopomp, The protagonist is a U.S astronaut who got flung through a wormhole and its pure awesome.
4. Psych
A quirky little murder mystery series about a Private detective who fakes being psychic. It's hysterically funny. It's very lighthearted. It's one of my favorites.
5. The X-Files
This is a show about FBI agents who investigate paranormal activity and try to expose an alien conspiracy. The main villain is probably the greatest villain in all of TV history.
6. Daredevil
This show kicks complete and utter ass. Its set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe however its far and away more violent and graphic. Its also far and away better written and acted. I loved every single second of the two current seasons. Its building up to a superhero team called the defenders, with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
7. Jessica Jones
This is another Netflix Original series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its about a Private Detective superhero its also extremely well acted, written and shot. Its definietly worth a watch. Its also building up to a superhero team called the defenders, with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
8. Burn Notice
This is a show about a Spy who was burned. He lives in Miami and helps the local people against criminals and such. One of the stars is none other than BRUCE FREAKING CAMPBELL. If thats not enough to convince you to watch it then I don't know what is.
9. Leverage
This is a show about a group of con artists who use their abilities to help people who have been wronged by the rich and powerful. They use crime for good and its awesome.
10. Justified
This is a Neo-Western Set in Modern Day Harlan County Kentucky. The protagonist is Deputy U.S Marshal Raylan Givens. A Marshal that acts like he is in a Western and in Meth Country, that might actually be just what is needed.
11. The Twilight Zone (the 1963 original)
This is it, The Grandaddy of anthology shows, Its scary, its funny, its well written. Its also fairly political in some areas which makes it unusual in that it actually stands up really freaking well. My favorite episodes are the Monsters are due on Maple Street about paranoia destroying a small town and Living Doll about a supernatural doll that wants to murder someone.
12. Peaky Blinders
This is a show about Gangs in post World War One England. The protagonist is one very clever fellow trying to outwit corrupt cops and even Winston freaking Churchhill.
13. Band of Brothers and the Pacific
I grouped these two together because one is not complete without the other. They just go together in such a way that they are incomplete without the other. The shows are about the Experiences of American Soldiers in the Second World War.
14. Warehouse 13
This show is about agents who hunt down paranormal artifacts and its just good campy fun.
15. Pushing Daisies
This is a show about a pie-maker who can resurrect the dead with a touch and touch them again to make them dead again. He works with a PI to solve some very whacky murders and the first one is his love interest, so he cannot actually touch her or she dies. Its a very odd show but one of my all time favorites.
16. Red vs. Blue
Red versus Blue is a military science fiction work comedy, and while technically a machinima its also on Netflix and Amazon so I'm counting it. It's very good and very very funny.

There are a lot of vehicles that were damaged by Hurricane Matthew and many are heading to auction and could end up on a lot right here in Nebraska. Chad Riege is the service manager at Woodhouse Ford in Blair and says there are a few things you can watch out for so you don't end up with big problems down the road.
Riege says, "Look under the undercarriage and inside the engine compartment. if things are really over rusty it is probably a sign it has been submerged in water. Look at the interior to make sure things match. Make sure parts like door panels haven't been replaced and they don't match. Pull back the carpet behind the glove box to see if there are any signs of water intrusion or mud silt and does it have a mildew smell."
He says once water gets into the engine, transmission or axel it dilutes the oil that will cause damage to the components. He says the best way to determine if a car has damage is to look at the title. He says if it has been in any insurance claim it will have a branded title stating it was a flood vehicle. Watch for words like salvage, totaled, rebuilt or junk.
If in doubt have the vehicle checked out by an independent mechanic before paying any money or signing on the dotted line.

Savannah went on a church outing this weekend, so my husband took Sierra to a yard sale. He thought I might be interested, so he came back to get me. I found some great finds!!
These are foam stamps in the package never used for $1 each. The Alphabet set has Upper and Lowercase plus numbers and more. The other two sets are just for fun!
Fifty cents for this loom set was a steal... I have been wanting to get one of these, but putting it off until we are ready to do this project. It IS old, which I find charming. The mustiness... not so charming, so I will try to wash the fabric and dry it or buy replacement fabric.
I started NOT to buy this book, but I am so glad I did... and for $1 !! This little book alone would make a great Toddler/Pre-K Circle Time starter. Actually, I have been wanting to use something for our schooling and I think it will be fun even for Savannah (8), because she can help "teach" and learn at the same time. The lessons are 1-2 pages and easy reading that Savannah could do and we could all do together for fun. So easy that we can just enjoy it... no pressure here!
I hope you can read the excerpts. If not, see if you can click the pic for it to enlarge. Each page has a short scripture at the top, the topic, poems/fingerplays/songs, adult lead activities, and sometimes more suggestions or illustrations on the next page to go with it. I especially like the one below that encourages music play in the kitchen (BUT SUGGESTS A QUIETER WAY TO BEAT POTS AND PANS ;) They suggest using plastic bowls and plastic spoons.)
These are just a few of my bargains this weekend. The last time I found unopened mini-craft projects, etc.. Remember that old frames can be made new when your child decorates it and other items... Look at the item and think, "What could we do with it?" Look beyond what it is. You will teach your child many valuable lessons this way. They can learn to recycle things, to re-purpose things, to see the artist/creative side of themself. They can learn to be good stewards of their money at yard sales and re-inforce math skills to calculate their total. The list goes on. Well, I am off to bed... 2:45 AM !~!~! The baby had a bit of insomnia tonight!!

Recipe courtesy: Rukmini Mami, Prema (my MIL)
The names itself suggests that this dish is a cross between North Indian and South Indian style of cooking. There is cute history behind this unique dish.
When my husband was in high school, he was recovering from a severe illness. He was not allowed to eat outside. He had a sudden craving for channa... As the kitchen in-charge at my in-laws' place, Rukmani Mami was not very familiar with N.Indian cooking, she came up with the recipe of her own! She did not have the regular chole masala/garam masala at home and she used maggi noodles tastemaker!!!-This gives a lovely taste to the curry :)
As she is an amazing cook, obviously it tasted good and my husband loved it soooo much. Infact, my husband prefers puli channa to the regular channa masala.
When my MIL, Prema visited us at Houston, she made this awesome dish and shared the recipe with me... It is very unique and surprisingly very tasty! I make this very often and I love it too:)
Here is the Rukmini Mami's Puli Channa recipe...
1 tin channa (Chickpea) or 2/3 cup channa soaked overnight
1 onion-finely chopped
1 small tomato-finely chopped
1 lemon sized ball of tamarind
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp jeera (cumin)
1 sprig curry leaves
1/4 tsp turmeric
salt to taste
1 tsp maggi tastemaker pkt from any maggi noodles OR garam masala
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/8 tsp jaggery- to balance the tangy tamarind
4 tsp oil
Add oil in a kadai. Splutter mustard and jeera. Add curry leaves.
Add the onion and saute till glassy, add tomato and saute till soft.
Add the tamarind extract and bring to boil.
Add salt, turmeric, chilli powder.
Add the soaked and pressure cooked channa. If using canned chickpea, wash well with water, drain and add.
Add maggi tastemaker or garam masala and allow the flavours to blend for a few minutes.
If too tangy, add a little jaggery. Serve hot with chappatis/rotis!
Thank u Ann for this lovely award! We are honoured!

Beauty Therapy Websites
When you want to look good, you log onto the internet and search for beauty therapy websites. Beauty therapy has been around forever. Centuries ago, people did things most folks would never consider doing today—they removed ribs, tattooed their faces, deformed their feet, and rubbed bizarre and smelly substances on their skin in order to become "beautiful." Today, our standards of beauty have changed, thankfully, and the results of our beauty therapy efforts are much more pleasant. Beauty therapists, also known as aestheticians, use a variety of treatments to make their clients look wonderful. It's more than just looking good on the outside, however. Beauty therapy treatments can also help people feel better about themselves, greatly boosting their confidence and self esteem.
Many aesthetic beauty therapy treatments are performed on the face. These include the application of makeup. Beauty therapists also give facials, which involve thoroughly cleansing the face, exfoliating dead skin away, and applying moisturizers and anti-aging products. People also go to beauty salons to get their eyebrows waxed, shaped, threaded, or colored.
Beauty therapy is more than just facial therapy; you can also find websites advertising a wide range of body therapy. This could mean various types of massage, from a gentle, relaxing Swedish massage to a deep-tissue sports massage. Aestheticians can also remove unwanted body hair with waxing or electrolysis, as well as perform treatments to reduce cellulite.
People who wish to work in the beauty therapy industry must thoroughly enjoy interacting with other people. They have to be good at communicating with others and listening to other people's needs, as their job is based around this. Beauty therapists have to be good problem-solvers, as they will work with a variety of people who have various conditions, as well as different likes and dislikes.
Beauty therapists have to be dextrous and often need to be fit and able to stand on their feet for long periods of time. You also have to have a real passion for the field in which you enter, whether it's beauty or massage therapy. Techniques and technologies are always changing, so a career in the beauty therapy industry means that you'll always be updating your training and education. For information about a career in beauty therapy, look at the websites that are linked to below.
To own a beauty therapy establishment in the UK, you must obtain a special premises licence. To work as a beauty therapist, you will need to complete specific education requirements depending on which field you'd like to enter. Organisations such as CIBTAC and CIDESCO both offer courses in beauty therapy.

Mumview: Brighton Rock
Short summary
Well, you know the story, right? Graham Greene wrote it in 1938, John Boulting directed it in 1947. Young Pinkie Brown is trying to take over his Brighton gang, a naive young waitress is the only witness who could get them done for murder, so he courts and marries her. Is he going to kill her? And does God hate us all?
Does it work the way it should?
Remakes are the bane of Hollywood. They have enough brand recognition that they make their money back - and since I went to Brighton Rock I have limited carping rights on this one - but there's no law that says a remake has to be bad, and this one had some pretty classic material to work with.
What would a remake of an adaptation of a book have to do to be worth the celluloid? Fundamentally it would have to give us a take on the book that the previous film missed. Now, the original movie didn't miss out on strong performances, striking cinematography, or suspenseful drama, so the new film was always up against stiff competition. Director Rowan Joffe moves the action from the 30s to the 60s to give 'a more modern feel', according to the note at the end of the current printing of the novel, though why a modern feel is necessary in a period piece is an open question. In practice this means radio announcements talking about violent youth and staged battles between mods and rockers, but the theme of youth violence doesn't really take. Partly this is because Sam Riley as Pinkie doesn't look like the seventeen-year-old he supposedly is. Partly it's because youth violence involves youth in groups rather than a single boy trying to cut his way through a man's world: Pinkie is isolated from his own generation, so why should its antics throw any kind of perspective on him, or his on it? But partly it's because Pinkie already has a theme, and it's not youthful insurrection: it's sin. That's the entire weight of the book, what lifts it above the level of its pulp-thriller plot: Greene's distinctively depressive, sour-potatoes Catholicism, with its dark God and gristly physicality and bleak, conscience-twisting doom. Pinkie has a young man's fanaticism and sexual awkwardness, but he's no voice of a generation, and while a film doesn't have to reproduce a book exactly, Pinkie's themes are inextricably woven into the plot. He can hardly speak for his generation if he never meets it, and come to that, if his whole generation is busy fighting, the gang's panic about having killed someone looks rather mealy-mouthed and moderate, which is hardly the way to make a thriller thrilling.
If this was the way the film wanted to go, changes could have been made, but traces of the Catholicism remain. They just come up in conversation occasionally and then wander away again. Where the original Pinkie is a faith-twisted ruin, sexually revolted and sin-obsessed and stuck in marriage with a girl who disgusts him with the destruction of her soul his only consolation, and the original Rose is a drab picture of 'hopeless resentment', a downtrodden housewife before her time, what this film version chooses to imply, and eventually makes explicit, is that this Pinkie actually does have feelings for Rose. Mixed feelings, yes, but more a fragile, unacknowledged love than a cold, manipulative hatred; we finally hear his friend tell Ida, the avenging angel of the story who pursues justice against the murderous Pinkie throughout, that Pinkie was 'sweet on [Rose]' until Ida's 'meddling' panicked him into deciding to kill her instead. (Nice to know it's always the woman's fault; Pinkie would probably approve.) This is a story of doomed love rather than doom.
This is the key to what's new about this adaptation: it is, as Pinkie would say, 'soft'. It can't bear the idea of Pinkie viciously preying upon an innocent girl's soul, so it softens his feelings towards her. In doing this, it goes right in the opposite direction from the one change to the original movie that would have been genuinely refreshing: it refuses to keep Greene's 'worst horror of all' ending.
At the end of the novel poor Rose walks off to find a record player to play what she thinks will be Pinkie's wedding-day message of love and we know will say, 'God damn you, you little bitch, why can't you go back home for ever and leave me be?' The original film couldn't bear this, and substituted a device that pulled punches but at least had the merit of being ingenious: Pinkie records a message saying that he knows she wants to hear 'I love you' but actually he hates her, but when Rose plays the record, it's gotten scratched, and jumps the needle over and over: 'I love you ... I love you ... I love you...' Since we all like to think we're tougher than our ancestors, a really modern remake would have stuck to Graham's horrible conclusion, but in fact the film simply pinches its predecessor's soft end and leaves us with the same stuck record - which can't even get marks for ingenuity this time.
What's different, though, is the emphasis. The original film had no problem acknowledging religion and damnation as major themes, but they're mere background detail here. The original Rose is told to consider 'the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God', and the damaged record is a miracle to protect her from the sin of despair, perhaps, a false belief that Pinkie felt love so that Rose can hold on to her faith in human goodness. God really doesn't get much conversation in this version, though; Rose has a brief conversation about 'miracles', and when the record skips the camera pans up to look at a cross on the wall. A miracle! But why, exactly? Does God think it's okay to protect a murderer as long as you're in love with him?
Maybe God doesn't, but God isn't, to use a Catholic phrase, a real presence in this film. When Boulting's camera moves to the crucifix, it's almost as if God is saying 'I love you' to Rose, but it doesn't work that way in Joffe's version because God interests it less than tragic love. Greene's God is not love, but in this film, love is God.
Ready for this?
Okay, so I'm sounding like an inflexible purist. Yes, I've read the book and seen the original movie, so I went in with a lot of expectations. Actually, though, it was the trailer that decided me: it was handsome-looking and clearly suggested that they might be going for a tragic-love angle rather than the original sin fest, as it were. And why not? A tragic love story can be a marvellous thing.
But considering the great emphasis on passion and drama, the film is curiously unmoving; I found myself disappointed in expectations that were based on shots from the movie itself rather than just the book and previous film. It's hard to identify a single reason for this, but I don't think it can be entirely attributed to the circumstances under which I viewed it...
Life among the groundlings
I have lately discovered the second most important possession a new mother can have. The most important is a collection of no fewer than three hundred and twenty-seven muslins and preferably more, but the second most important is an inflatable pillow that can be retrieved from the nappy bag when you have to nurse on the go. Newly equipped, my young companion and I had our most peaceful viewing experience so far; however, others were not so tranquil and there was fairly constant wailing from several directions.
This meant I missed certain lines of dialogue, but the really notable thing was that I kept reflecting that there was a lot more passion in the babies' voices than up on the screen.
The movie is well shot, full of sweeping vistas and nice framing. The handsome cinematography is actually part of the problem: despite a David Fincherish green tinge to everything and some carefully squalid interiors, the style is at its best filming the elegant silhouettes of Brighton Pier or the beautiful white cliffs of the coast. It's just too nice: it would work fine with a softer storyline, but there's something inescapably sordid about marrying a girl to stop her witnessing against you, and the graceful visuals seem not to have noticed. I suspect the music may be a problem too: I seldom notice music during a film, but there was one sequence that stood out even to me because the music became almost comical, reminiscent of nothing so much as the apartment-break-in scene in Manhattan Murder Mystery minus the breathless tension, and the rest of the music seemed to be rather bland swelling violins that carried neither the suspense nor the grandness of the original movie. In its rendering it feels like a film that doesn't really understand the story it's telling, whether the story is Greene's grim original or the tragic romance Joffe seems to be aiming for: neither works, because there's a bland attractiveness to their presentation that undercuts the possibility for real intensity.
So, any good?
Bottom line: this is a remake of the film, not a new adaptation of the novel, and a remake, not a reinterpretation. That, we didn't need. The original film is still a classic, but while Joffe looks like a promising director visually and I'd like to see him handle material that actually suits his style, I'd expect the remake to go the way of the 1976 King Kong and be more or less forgotten in time while John Boulting's film endures.
This makes me want to go read the book. (This is one of those classics that has name recognition for me but nothing else.)
On the other hand, depressive Catholicism plus Februrary doldrums may be a pretty noxious combination.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a court-appointed monitor to review hiring problems at Gov. Pat Quinn's Department of Transportation, a setback for the Democrat running for re-election largely on how he navigated Illinois away from ethical problems.
The ruling — less than two weeks before the election — followed a motion filed in April by anti-patronage campaigner Michael Shakman, who alleged that a long span of improper hiring based on clout and connections necessitated an outside monitor and further investigation at IDOT. Quinn administration attorneys had argued that neither was necessary because a state inspector general had investigated and the issues already were being addressed.
Magistrate Judge Sidney Schenkier disagreed, saying the inspector general's work didn't negate the "need for the court to take action." But he didn't grant Shakman's request for a separate probe, explaining the court monitor could sufficiently review why issues occurred and do so transparently.
Quinn's challenger in the Nov. 4 election, Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, immediately jumped on the ruling to say that Quinn "cannot be trusted to clean up state government." Quinn's campaign rejected the criticism.
His government spokesman said IDOT officials would implement the ruling.
"We'll ensure IDOT works closely with the court and continues to follow all rules," said Grant Klinzman, a Quinn spokesman.
Questions over hiring have dogged Quinn's re-election.
In seeking a second full term, he's reminded the public how he cleaned up government during an "ethical crisis" after two consecutive predecessors went to prison. Rauner has tried to undermine those claims, specifically noting the IDOT lawsuit. The gubernatorial matchup is among the most competitive nationwide.
Quinn himself hasn't been accused of wrongdoing, and the inspector general's report found neither Quinn nor his staffers were aware of impropriety.
But Shakman — who successfully pressed for a 1972 court decree which bans patronage hiring and bears his name — said earlier attempts to examine IDOT hiring when Quinn took office in 2009 hadn't been successful despite assurances from the governor that problems would be fixed.
Shakman told reporters that the timing of the ruling, just before the election, "is not for (lack) of trying on our side. We hoped to do this back in 2009."
He said, "There's no question that political hiring, promotions and transfers did occur ... The reason we should care is fairness."
Shakman's motion followed a 2013 Better Government Association report that Quinn and predecessor, now-imprisoned Rod Blagojevich, had hired "staff assistants" without adhering to rules that prohibit political considerations and without offering the jobs to the public. The inspector general's report essentially confirmed the findings. It noted 255 staff assistants were hired, often with political or family connections, but worked other jobs that should've been open to any applicant. The number of those hirings rose after Quinn became governor.
After Quinn's administration received a copy of the inspector general's report, state officials instituted reforms, including eliminating staff assistant positions.
Still, Quinn has had to defend himself repeatedly. Former IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider, who resigned in June, said recommendations for hires came from Quinn's office. Quinn has said he personally didn't make any recommendations.
Rauner, a venture capitalist who vows to root out state corruption, has tried to link Quinn to Blagojevich.
"A federal judge just confirmed what we've known all along — Pat Quinn is corrupt and cannot be trusted to clean up state government," Rauner said in a statement.
But Quinn's campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson responded with questions about Rauner's own business record. Quinn's campaign has singled out companies connected to Rauner's former firm that've faced lawsuits, among other things.
"We will certainly not be taking any advice about ethics from the most unethical executive in America, Bruce Rauner," she said in a statement.
In the coming weeks, attorneys will meet to discuss choosing a monitor, which the state will pay for. Once in place, the process could take years.
A monitor appointed in 2009 for Cook County is still in place. Federal oversight put in place in 2005 was lifted for the city of Chicago this year after the court found Chicago largely complies with the Shakman Decree.

Helen Hunt Jackson 2-1-5 transcription
Helen Hunt Jackson Papers, Part 2, Ms 0156, Box 1, Folder 5, letters
from HHJ to her niece Helen Banfield, 1871-76.
Dear Helen,
Thank you very much for the pretty pincushion cover. It is on the cushion in my bedroom here, and matches the tidy which is on a rocking chair in my sitting room. Perhaps if you came to Amherst this summer, Mamma will let you come up and stay a week with me here. I should love to have you.
I am glad you liked the little vase. I thought it was a comical little thing, and would make you laugh.
Give my love to all the children, and remember that your auntie loves you all dearly. -
Aunt Helen.
Dear Little Helen - (or Big Helen! -
The box came safely though it was delayed on the way. Please give my love to Mama, and thank her for the pretty Japanese things. I admire them very much, and they look very pretty in my room.
Somebody else sent today, a beautiful Japanese cup with a cover to it. I have not the least idea where it came from, but I suppose I shall have a letter to tell me.
Your holders are as pretty as they can be; one hangs on the brass holder for my shovel and tongs in the sitting room; and the other, hangs below the mantel piece in the bedroom, where I have a coal fire. I use them both a great many times every day; and you could not possibly have given me anything which would have reminded me of you so often.
I am grieved to think of papa's being so sick. I know what a comfort you must have been to him. Give my love to him and tell him Aunt Helen wishes very much she could so something for him besides sending him newspapers and book's.
Goodbye dear. Love to all,
Your affectionate
Dear Helen,
I am delighted to get your picture, and to know that I am the aunt of so good looking a girl. I hope you won't be vain, but I must say that your picture is beautiful. Perhaps it flatters you! -
I should have like to see the play very much. I am glad to know that the Vassar College girls do something besides study!
I had a letter from your mother in Wolfboro yesterday. I am so sorry that you are obliged to go back there to live. I hope in a few years your father may be so much better that he can go into active life again.
I expect to go East early in June, and I shall see you all, before the summer is over.
I send you a picture I had taken in Boston last fall. The artist grew tired of trying to get me with my mouth shut, so at last he told me to let it stay open, and see if it would not look more natural. And this is the result! My friends here think it quite good but to me, the picture looks like the portrait of a simpering idiot!
Give my love to Annie. I hope she will send me her picture too.
Yours always lovingly,
Dear Helen,
There are always two sides to every story. First Dr. Channing was engaged, or the same thing as engaged to the lady who is now his wife; - the other wife, determined to marry him herself. - came between them, deceived him, & separated them! When he found this out, he naturally felt & I think rightfully felt, that his obligation to his wife was at an end.
The means he took to obtain a divorce, (i e: the years residence in a state where divorce laws are so framed as to provide, for such cases as his) were the only means at his disposal; - I have never blamed him in the least - and I do not think any one who knows all the circumstances could. He is an own cousin of Col. Higginson's wife, and Col. Higginson always stays at their house when he goes to Providence. He does not think Dr. Channing did wrong.
I hope you will never have any reason to think very deeply on this matter of divorce; it is a very perplexing and painful subject; but if you ever do, come to think the matter over earnestly, especially in the light of some individual case. - You will feel that the law ought to provide some way, by which men and women who have made a mistake in marrying, and are perfectly wretched together, and cannot therefore build up a happy home, or be really good parents to their children - can be set free from each other without feeling that they have committed a sin, and without being disgraced.
I saw the little slip in the Catalogue & inferred that it was sent to somebody else; as it was [ ] in your book so silent!
We are now having the most beautiful summer weather - & the flowers are in bloom even in the streets; three or four beautiful wild flowers. White, purple, and yellow, that grow like dandelions and clover in the east, all along the edges of the sidewalks.
I have had a great deal of pleasure in making the acquaintance of Dr. Avery, in Denver, who used to be your physician. She & Miss Sewell are coming to spend two or three days with me next week. - I do not often like any one so much as I like Dr. Avery. - She has a very pleasant little house in Denver - and has fitted it up charmingly.
Don't write across! It was endurable in the old days of high postage, but now when another half ounce of paper costs only 8 cts. it is not worth while! - If you do it again I shall do it in a letter to you, and that would quite cure you, for you couldn't read a word of my writing if it were crossed. -
You write a really beautiful hand. It is just the sort of hand I especially like. It is very like the average English hand. My writing gets worse every year - if not every day. I write so much, and I dislike the manual labor of it more and more. - Love to Annie,
Your affectionate
Dear Helen,
I was very glad indeed to hear from you; and I think if you wrote to me every two or three weeks I should always answer your letters very soon. Still I would not dare to promise, for I believe I grow a worse correspondent every year. I write so much that the pen is disagreeable to me; and I often have letters from dear friends unanswered for months simply because I do so dislike the mechanical parts of writing.
We have had a most wonderful winter, bright and sunny, like autumn in the White Mountains. I think I have driven more than four fifths of the days in an open carriage. - We have been keeping house in a little furnished house, and I have enjoyed it very much. I have not ever experienced housekeeping like your mother but I never had two good servants, and we have been exceedingly comfortable. - I expect to come East in June, & make Princeton my head quarters for three months as I did last year. Mr. Jackson will come in July and stay with me. - if you are in Wolfboro, we will come up for a day or two & see you all. I want you to know your new uncle. You will love him very much for his own sake, as well as for mine. -
I am very sorry to hear that Miss Dawe had been ill, and above all, that it was with her old enemy the Erysipelas. I hope it did not seat itself, in her poor unfortunate nose!
Give my regards to her, please - and my love to Annie - and much to yourself. Goodbye
Always your loving

Paul Volcker: You Call This An Economic Recovery?
It's the last day of the third quarter, and the stock market has had a great run. Blue-chip stocks are on pace for the best quarterly performance since 1998. Investors seem to think strong corporations can still generate profits, while unemployment remains high.
Along comes former Federal Reserve Chief Paul Volcker to throw a wet blanket on the stock market's cheery camp fire. Speaking this week in a two-part interview on "Charlie Rose, " Volcker takes a much more dour view on the economy than many advisers in the Obama Administration.
Here's Volcker on the current economic "recovery":
"I think it's questionable of how rapidly the economy will expand after this recession, because there are a lot of basic adjustments that have to be made…. We can't just pump up consumption and pump up housing again. Might pad us for a year or two, but it's imbalance that got us in trouble in the first place. We've got to work toward producing more goods, selling more goods abroad, being more competitive abroad, maintaining a decent rate of savings, bringing budgetary–federal budgetary situation back into something that's sustainable, and all those things, plus the financial market is wounded. There's no doubt about that, and it won't recover from those wounds, deep wounds for a while." (When pressed, Volcker wouldn't put an exact time frame on the recovery, but said it would take "several' years.)"
And here is Volcker on what he sees as the next shoe to drop on the banking system.
"The single threat in the credit area right now is commercial mortgages…commercial real estate's in trouble… I think in terms of taking the loss and recognizing loss has only just begun."
And finally, Volcker weighs in on the threat of inflation, a subject on which he is well versed. As Fed chief in the early 1980s, Volcker earned his spurs, fighting to limit inflation despite pressure to lower interest rates to pump up the economy.
"You ought to be potentially worried about inflation…the administration is perfectly conscious of the fact that they've got a problem….they say, our hands are tied, we can't do anything now, unemployment is close to 10%, the economy is weak, there isn't any apparent inflation problem at the moment, prices are nice and stable. But we've got that budget deficit….We've got to be careful about this. But it's a problem for at least a year out, two years out, three years out."

J. Lo, we salute you.
We all know that Jennifer Lopez loves pizza more than your average superstar, but could anyone have guessed how much?
Acclaimed R&B singer Ne-Yo stopped by the PEOPLE Now studios to talk about the forthcoming premiere of NBC's high-stakes World of Dance, which he cohosts with Derek Hough, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Lopez. He revealed some interesting details about the judging panel's after-show hangouts, particularly their frequent pizza parties at the home of Lopez.
"We hung out a couple times at J Lo's home," he said, revealing that the place was so big it was "embarrassing" for him and the other judges.
"She lives on a literal compound," said Ne-Yo of Lopez's Bel-Air estate, "That's where I realized just how much J Lo can eat." According to Ne-Yo, she is a prolific snacker and champion eater, finishing "a whole half a pizza by herself."
"You'd never know by looking at her," he added, "She works out like a beast."
RELATED: Jennifer Lopez Ate One Slice of Pizza a Day Before She Made It
Despite this being the show's first season, the judges already seemed to know each other quite well.
Opening up about the roles each of them played on the judging panel, Ne-Yo said, "Jen is mom. She's the cool mom. She's the mom that lets you stay out late." He also added that Derek Hough was the "goofball" of the bunch, while Jenna Dewan-Tatum played the "sweetheart."
As for himself? "I was dubbed the hard judge," says Ne-Yo. "I don't feel like I was tough. I felt like I was firm and fair. It's a million dollars. You don't just give away a million dollars. You have to earn a million dollars."
You can catch more of Ne-Yo, J. Lo and the whole gang on Tuesday, May 30 during the premiere of World of Dance on NBC at 10 p.m. ET.

Hello! This is Lynn and Christy from The Actors Diet (www.theactorsdiet.com). We are two Hollywood actresses (one of us is also a Nutritional Health Counselor) aiming for health and positive body image in what can be a very superficial business. Thank you to Sam for featuring us on her wonderful site!
Here is a recipe that is fast and vegan, with a lot of health benefits. The chickpeas are a wonderful source of complex carbohydrate and protein. Plum tomatoes have cancer fighting agents and parsley helps to detox the liver and satisfy the taste buds. And the fresh corn is a sweet vegetable that will help curb sugar cravings later in the day. Add to that the antioxidents, the good quality fats of the olive oil and pecans, and you have a plateful of nutrition.
Raw Corn and Tomato Salad with Parsley Pesto:
2 Cobs of Fresh Corn
2 Plum Tomatoes
1 cup Chick Peas
2 Handfuls Flat-Leaf Italian Parsley
2 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 TB Raw Pecans
1 TB Red Wine Vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Cut the corn kernels off the cob. Add diced tomatoes and chick peas (we used dried that we cooked in kombu to make it easier to digest but you can use canned too). Season with salt and pepper.
In a food processor, combine parsley, pecans, and vinegar with a generous pinch of salt and some pepper. Pulse, and stream in olive oil.
Combine all the ingredients, and enjoy alone, or on top of some mixed greens!

Vienna Girardi took to Twitter to defend herself against TMZ's allegations that she was cheating with Greek actor Gregory Michael, prompting her break-up with Jake Pavelka.
"The accusations of me cheating are completely fabricated. 100% False," she wrote. TMZ then edited its story–horrifically written, as always–to add that "whether she cheated or not, Jake thought she did."
Meanwhile, Jake hasn't tweeted at all, which makes him marginally more interesting than when he actually is writing on Twitter.
