text: St. Joseph County police are still telling people to stop leaving electronic gear and purses in vehicles. That's after another 22 car and truck break-ins, mostly in Granger, were reported over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend. "It hasn't calmed down at all," said Sgt. Bill Redman, a department spokesman. Windows were broken in most of the cars, and only a few of the vehicles were unlocked. Redman said items such as GPS systems, iPods, laptop computers, computer hard drives, purses and sometimes loose change were in sight in most of the break-ins. County residents need to hide anything of value in a trunk or glove compartment, he said, suggesting such items should be taken inside. And storing a vehicle in a garage would actually be the safest thing to do. Redman also said shoppers need to put packages and shopping bags in trunks or hidden out of sight. Most of the eight vehicle break-ins Wednesday night were in the Windingbrook subdivision area east of Mishawaka, he said. Four similar incidents were scattered throughout the county Thursday night. Redman said the 10 break-ins Saturday night were in Granger, mostly the Quail Valley, Quail Ridge and Waterford Green subdivisions. Extra police personnel are being used to try to combat the problem, he said. Staff writer Sue Lowe: email@example.com (574) 247-7758

Here's a General Hospital update.
It was reported here recently that the soap opera's character Lucy Coe, who claimed to have attended Rollins College, is portrayed by Amanda Bearse, who actually attended the Winter Park school in 1977.
Here's a General Hospital update.
It was reported here recently that the soap opera's character Lucy Coe, who claimed to have attended Rollins College, is portrayed by Amanda Bearse, who actually attended the Winter Park school in 1977.
Well, the actor who plays Dr. Patrick O'Connor in the show and who did the checking on her background in the story, is Guy Mack, 29, a 1974 graduate of Orlando's Oak Ridge High School. He also attended Walker Junior High School.
''Guy was an outstanding trumpet player in our high school band,'' said LaDonne Oaldon, who played clarinet in the Oak Ridge band at the same time.
Oaldon, a University of Central Florida graduate now teaching 5th grade at Orlando's Deerwood Elementary School, said Mack was a soloist in many of the old Orlando Presents concerts, and was president of the Interact Club at Oak Ridge in his senior year.
He accidentally split his lip while at University of South Florida, then drifted into acting.
''None of us knew Guy was interested in acting,'' Oaldon said. ''Now he's part of ABC's development program. All of us who knew him at school are extremely proud of his big break in TV.''
Several weeks ago on General Hospital when Lucy Coe asked Dr. Patrick O'Connor if he knew where Rollins College was, he said, ''I know exactly where it is.''

Lyman High, class of '67; summer of 1987. Call Joan Fox, (305) 767-5342.
Three-dot data: Keshia Knight Pulliam and Phylicia Rashad of television's The Cosby Show were recent guests at the Hilton at Walt Disney World Village. They were in town for a week filming a commercial for Walt Disney World. . . . Thanks to all those who responded to the recent item about the shamefully few Central Floridians who hang out the stars and stripes on flag days, such as July 4. Anne Ullman of Orlando wrote to say that she is doubly proud to hoist the flag at her residence on Flag Day (June 14) because ''it's also the birthday of our first grandchild, Valerie.'' . . .
Taking part in the July 4 Statue of Liberty Centennial in New York was Winter Park entrepreneur Bob Jane. The Don Trump organization invited him aboard the Eagle, which escorted the parade of tall ships up the Hudson River. Jane was in New York to address 175 senior real estate sales executives, and has been invited back for another talk at Trump Tower in November. . . .
Julie MacEachin, graduate of Evans High School in Orlando, was winner of the $100 first-place prize in the recent senior high art contest in conjunction with the opening of the expanded Orlando Public Library. An award of $25 went to the winner's art teacher, Marjorie Moffett. There were 350 entries.
Sour root stock: I recently placed this hypothetical question before George Burns: ''If you were facing the gallows, what would you order for your last meal?'' Replied the actor: ''If the soup is served hot and there is a bottle of ketchup on the table, you have a very happy George Burns. That's it, kid. Stay happy.''

Our grandmother Inga died in 2013. It is hard to explain what she meant for me. She was a person who held our family together, cause her home (Ravnastua / Gárdin) was a meeting place for the family and also tourists. She was a remarkable person. I don´t think anyone who met her could ever forget her. She always had the most memorable comments to things. My aunts had an idea to write a book about her, and it would be a great book to have!
My grandmother lived until she was 93, so she had a long life which she loved. She lived in Gárdin over 50 years of her life - and received a silveraward from the king for running this mountain house. She gave birth to 9 children, my mother included, and she was married to her cousin Julius - who unfortunately died when I was just a child. He died because of a heart failure while he was in the mountains and went to rest beside his tractor. She didnt want anyone else but him, so she lived alone for the rest of her life. 30 years approximatly she lived as a widow.
To tell you about her is a task too big to even start, so I will stick to telling you about the song.
I am travelling alot in my work, and the last 10 years I have not seen much of her. But it happened so that my mother called to tell me that she was very ill, and that I should go visit her. The next chance I had I went to see her, and that same day she died. The next day in the car driving back to Alta from Karasjok I wrote this song to her. My grandmother was christian and I often herd her sing psalms, so the song I wrote her fits perfectly that way.
My cousin and I made an attempt to sing this in her funeral. I unfortunately started crying and could barely get out a tone. My cousin Eva Jeanette Iversen was luckily there to help me, but I could still not sing it well.
And the unfortunate event happened that my uncle - one son of the same grandmother passed away just a few months later. I also tried singing in his funeral... singing is hard in funerals. His daughter - my cousin Tanja Nordbye has made a video about Gárdin, and she also made the video for my song "Gárdin àhkku - Grandmother Inga.
And here is her film about Gárdin where grandmother spent most her life:

Men's Zephyr Ridge™ Jacket is rated out of 5 by 34.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ColumbiaFan20 from Please bring it back This is (was?) the best jacket!! Windproof, water resistant (basically water proof), Breathable, arm pit zippers, Omni Heat, Interchange, draw cords, adjustable cuffs... Perfect alone, yet even better as the inner later of a 3 in 1! Maybe a little tight fitting IF you try to add a thicker layer underneath, but you don't need to! Please, please, pleaee make this jacket again!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by markyg from Great Jacket for above freezing conditions I have only worn this jacket twice so don't have a complete perspective on it. It is very stylish and comfortable. I am amazed at the light weight quality of the jacket. It is excellent at blocking the wind. I have worn the jacket twice in the snow and it was well above freezing. I felt comfortable, but not extremely warm. Maybe I am just used to wearing very heavy jackets. I hope this jacket will keep me warm when it is colder outside.

Rated 3 out of 5 by BG123 from Decent Jacket BUT........... Nearly everyone has given this a five star rating. I certainly appreciate the ability of the jacket. That said, had I paid full price I would be returning it. The jacket fits fine in the shoulders, arms and the torso length. But, in the midsection and around the waist, it has a lot of excess size. I see another commenter has made the same remark. In other words, to be frank, it appears to be sized for men with large bellies. It does not fit properly nor is it flattering for someone who is actually in shape. Which I find ironic given this is active wear. This liberal sizing in the midsection and waist means there isn't a proper seal of the jacket in the midsection and the torso and that affects its performance. I would recommend you make a size for big and tall if you want to serve two markets. I won't be buying any more Columbia products because of this experience. I much prefer the flattering fit for Marmot, Helly Hansen, etc. that reflect the active man. Hopefully, Columbia will take this as constructive criticism because I am certainly not the only fit person who wants to buy clothes that actually perform properly and that were designed for my physique.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mickey49 from Very Good Initial Impression I have not yet worn this product outside. Inside it proved to be very comfortable and that leads me to believe that it will perform well in cool to moderately cold weather. The fit is more snug than I expected and probably will not be able to wear more than one or two thin layers underneath.

Rated 4 out of 5 by John000 from Excellent Jacket Bought this as a liner jacket to wear under a windbreaker for winter motorcycle riding. Much warmer than anticipated and do not need to wear the outer windbreaker in 40 degree weather! Jacket body runs true to size but sleeves are a bit snug. Not so much so that I would return the jacket, but wish the sleeves were a bit more roomy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tedub from zephyr ridge This is my second jacket and I love it. It's lite weight , but extremely warm and the active fit is great. The only thing that would improve this jacket , is a hood.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Stillmary from Mostly Good But Will Have To Go Back We bought this jacket for our grandson and he loves it. It's the perfect weight and provides the warmth he was looking for, however, it's a little snug across the shoulders when he's bending over and the sleeves are too tight. Too bad because otherwise it's an awesome product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vinni from Great Jacket I like this jacket very much, though I wish the pocket zippers worked the other way. I think you should zip the zipper down to close the pocket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PapaJim from Great Jacket Purchased as a insert for my Bug-a-boo outer shell. This is really a great jacket. We recently had a deep freeze here in the south and I was very comfortable with this jacket and the outer shell. My only wish is for an inside pocket.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kenneth1 from Wearable, Functional Definitely a well constructed and warm coat; I especially enjoy the high neck, great for keeping wind out. My one complaint is that it's cut pretty loose around the midsection. I'm 6'0" male, 170 lbs., fairly athletic build. The coat fits me well through the chest and shoulders, but is noticeably baggy in the gut. It doesn't reduce the coat's functionality, but it's always nice to wear something that looks good too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by QualityChaser from great all weather jacket Purchased this jacket for my 82 year old father-in-law that lives in SE Texas. Bought it in a large Buffalo color. He fit it perfectly and commented on how much he liked the weight and warmth the jacket provided. He wore it out the next day so I'm thinking it's a winner. Haven't tested the jacket in more then 45 degrees weather so not sure if it'll still keep you warm if it's colder then 45 degrees. But with the Omni Heat insulation I think it would (not pass 30 degrees tho). I would highly recommend this jacket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DavidforChrist from Zephyr Ridge Jacket I live in Denver area Colorado, this Jacket is amazing, 100% windproof and warm. I have another windproof jacket from another manufacture, that does not have any lining, so when the cold wind blows, your skin get cold. I am a warm climate person (lived in Florida for 30 years), so I do not like the cold and the Zephyr Ridge Jacket keeps me warm (down to 15 degree so far) I highly recommend this Jacket to everyone

Rated 5 out of 5 by ASAP1st from This one replaces an older one. I bought this jacket to replace my original model - probably about 4-5 years old. The zipper on the old one was failing so I'm pleased to see the new one has a beefed up zipper. This is the warmest, lightest jacket I've ever owned. It goes from appointments as business casual to a layer in my cold weather hunting gear. I hope to get the zipper replaced on the old one so it can be dedicated to the hunting attire saving the new one for business calls. I would've given 5/5 on quality had the zipper not failed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jeeper123 from Amazing jacket! I don't regret this purchase at all! This jacket is spectacular, the moisture repellent top half is amazing,water just wicks right off, the Omni heat inside is perfect, it keeps all the warmth in and warms you up as soon as you put it on all while still being breathable and not so hot you have to take it off, i could wear this thing all day long without a problem, if you're the outdoorsy type of person then this jacket is perfect for moderate outdoor use to advanced outdoor use such as backpacking (with extra layers of course)

Rated 5 out of 5 by SouthernCross from A Friendly Boat or Sporting Event Jacket You'll notice the warmth of the Omni-Heat® lining the second you put it on. The collar keeps the wind off you neck and the front zip pocket is the perfectly sized to accommodate a larger cell phone. Nice fit and light rain resistant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SteveOutback from Kept me cool, warm, and dry, all in the same evening. I was recently hiking out to see seals in Australia - their winter. The hike was steep down, then steep up. Later, it got really dark and started to pour. While hiking up hill, I opened the underarm vents to allow me to cool while keeping the jacket zipped up so I kept dry. Later, it got quite chilly. Closed the vents and toasty. Finally got back to the car, well after dark. My pants were soaked, but under my Zephyr Ridge, I was warm and dry. Everyday the weather changed, but the Zephyr Ridge kept out the wind and rain while allowing me to adjust the temperature as needed. I highly recommend this for your cool weather travel needs. One problem I did have was that when the felt portion got wet, it took a while to dry. I was dry inside the jacket, but the outside did get quite wet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by airedaletraveler from Perfect for the Slopes I received this jacket just in time to put it to the test on the slopes of Colorado. I couldn't have been happier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ty26 from Incredible Jacket I've been looking for a soft-shell jacket that light but warm, as well as wind and rain resistant. This fit the bill perfectly.

I truely feel that this jacket will be worn about 7 months out of the year here in Ohio. Highly recommend!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rustydog from Warm and light weight This is the jacket I have been looking for. Light weight, breathable, pit zips. It's everything I wanted in a jacket. Only thing I am not crazy about is the Velcro cuffs that adds a little bulk. Yes they are very functional and do what they are supposed to do but I rather see elastic on the sleeve and the wind cuff be a little tighter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ToughCustomer from Excellent Coat From the minute I put this coat on I was impressed. It fit me like it was tailored to fit. The neck, chest and forearms were perfect. The coat is long enough that the back does not rise to expose my lower back when active. It holds heat remarkably well. The coat seems to know how much heat to hold. Today it is 18 degrees with a stiff wing. I'm doing good. Lastly, this coat looks good. Good enough to be worn out for for socializing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandon23 from Superb Jacket This jacket is the best purchase I ever made. I go to college and walk to class in the cold weather. The temps dropped as low as 5 degrees. I purchased this jacket due to the high winds and frigid temps. The jacket withstands the 20 to 30 mph winds with no challenge and traps in heat like a champ. I wear this jacket and a tshirt and it keeps me warm in the <15 degree temps. The jacket is not fully waterproof but is fairly water resistant. Unless you in a down poor for along period of time it should be fine. I wouldn't think twice about buying this jacket it is a great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ColumbiaConvert from For me, good pre/post peak-winter I was in an outdoor store looking for a replacement for a Northface fleece-type jacket I had gotten (with a hood) that I intended to use for in between fall-winter and winter-spring (but not dead of winter). The NF was too light. I live North of Chicago. I also take public transit, so I need to stand in the cold and wind quite a bit waiting for trains and buses. Well, after a couple hours in the store looking at all brands and weights of jackets, I got the Zephyr Ridge jacket, and I love it! It's insulated just enough, and cuts the wind. It's sort of part fleece itself, but you really don't notice based on the wind resistance. Yes, I kind of wish it had a hood like the one it replaced, but since it is a pre-dead-of-winter jacket, it's not too much of a problem just wearing a hat (for peak winter, I need the hat AND hood!). Another thing I was looking for in a jacket is the front upper pocket. Handy for putting bus/train passes in for easy access. One thing about the Omni heat lining, you have to be careful of it snagging on anything sharp (even a slight hang nail). As long as you're careful, it's fine, but I had to clip some threads off before I learned to be careful (not from fingers, but from edges in the closet at work). It didn't affect or hurt the jacket. If I just drove the car to work, this jacket would probably work all winter. I think I'm getting the Storm Raid for that :) . I'm kind of a Columbia convert, now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by elRubio from Men's Zephyr Ridge™ Jacket I live in the DC area, and we have experienced sub freezing temps in the past couple of days. I wanted to write a review earlier but I was waiting for cold temps in order to submit a good review. I really like this jacket, because it keeps me warm in the morning while walking and waiting at the bus stop. I'm currently using it with an old parka shell i bought back in 2004 and it performs very well, keeping wind and cold out, which is somthing my old lining did not do that well. I just wish that, like my old lining, this one had inside pockets. Also the "Mystery" color option looks gray on the computer screen, in reality is more of a gray-ish, blue color (you can google grayish blue color), and the dark section is more of a charcoal gray not black. Other than that, i'm really happy with my new jacket and look forward to colder weather.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Benang48 from Zephyr Ridge Jacket Recieved this jacket 3 weeks ago and it is not a disappointment! Well built, wind stopping and functional, this jacket is great when its windy and chilly (I live in Kansas, its always windy). Its also lightweight and the venting zippers under the arms make a noticable difference when they are open. The only thing I would like more on this jacket would be if the cuff lining had thumbholes. Besides that, Im very happy with it.

Program 6:30pm
Pulitzer Prize-winning author T.J. Stiles tells the dramatic story of Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt, the combative man and American icon who, through his genius and force of will, did more than perhaps any other individual to create modern capitalism. Commodore Vanderbilt had a troubled but ultimately successful relationship with high society in New York. After years of mutual hostility, the turnabout came with his success in helping to invent the giant corporation. The practice of corporate diplomacy changed his own character to some extent, and the riches he gained allowed him to overshadow the patricians and force his way into their company. His business and social success set the stage for the later Vanderbilt dynasty that came to define the lasting idea of Gilded Age social aristocracy.
T.J. Stiles is the author of The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt (winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award), and Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War, a New York Times Notable Book and a Journalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. A past Gilder Lehrman Fellow in American History at the New York Public Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers, he is currently working on a biography of George Armstrong Custer with the support of a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation.

dotbrand requires some understanding of the context, and of the process that led to delegation. The Top Level Domain is what is at the right side of the domain. There are two types of TLD : the generic Top Level Domains, which are generic because they are worldwide. On the other side, the ccTLD are under the supervision of regional entities. The ccTLD have 2 characters, while the gTLD have 3 or more characters.
The Top Level Domains are operated by entities, such as Versign for .com.
The early stages
ICANN was founded in 1998, when 8 gTLD existed : .com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, .org and .arpa.
7 more gTLD were added in 2000 : .aero, .biz, .coop, .info, .museum, .name and .pro
and 6 more in 2004 : .asia, .cat, .jobs, .mobi, .tel, .travel
Some of these gTLD have some innovative business models or uses, such as .tel, who operates in some "template" way. dot travel is restricted in its access to certain number of applicants only. dotbrand are pushing that restriction further, as they closed to anyone that is not the brand.
The Inception
In June 2008, in the Paris ICANN conference, the ICANN board approved a proposal to extend the number of generic Top Level Domains, also known as new gTLD.
Following this decision, many working teams put together processes, systems, and rules to open this new gTLD space.
The "shooting window" for application was spring 2012. The applicants had to comply with many rules, provide financial and technical guarantees, and apply for their desired Top Level Domain. In June 2012, 1930 applications were revealed, exceeding all the most optimistic estimations. These 1930 application really concerned approximately 1200 different names, resulting in many contentions. The dotbrand had not really been fully anticipated
One of the surprises was the number of applications globally. Another surprise to all observers was the number of brand applications who applied for the brand name as a top level domain. Various names circulated for those applicants : "Closed Applicants" "Closed Registry", "Unique Registrant", "Single Entity", "CorpTLD", "Branded TLD". The term "dot brand" seems to have gained some consensus.
There were a few obstacles for the brands, on an administrative standpoint. After long negotiations, an amendment to the ICANN contract, known as "Spec 13" was approved by ICANN board. Brands were quite happy with this solution as many of them signed their agreement just after that spec 13 was released.
Upcoming steps for dotbrand
dotbrand or dotbrands are approximately 600. Their business case is very different to the standard ICANN domain names business model. In the traditional model, a registry gets the right to operate a top level domain and resells second level domain for a fee. The traditional business model for a Top Level Domain owner is :
fee . number of domains > ICANN fees + operating costs.
The brand does not really generate revenue from their dotbrand domain names. It is generating indirect profit via increased sales, optimized way to achieve the objectives and more efficiency. Brands are presently creating mini-sites around their tradition website, in order to generate visibility, traffic. Dotbrand can also offer clear signposts some commercial partners
A key resource for anyone interested in the activation, and marketing side of dot brand is the dotbrand observatory.

With the opening of Alexander McQueen's first retrospective at the V&A looming in March 2015, I was contacted by an amazing luxury company, Farfetch, to share with you their latest infographic, which should help us get all clued up on his major shows and iconic moments before the exhibition opens. Savage Beauty has been shown at the Met in New York and is coming to London on 14th March.
I personally adore McQueen's work - theatrical, romantic, visionary. I see his shows as absolute works of art. They are performances which, despite being awe-inspiring in their own right, still manage to somehow keep their focus on the garments themselves. Often dark and even uncanny in their magnificence, his garments are completely perfect. I haven't seen much of his work that I wouldn't wear myself in a heartbeat. It is without doubt that he was one of the most iconic and influential designers of the 20th/21st century. He pushed the boundaries of contemporary fashion, and it would be an understatement to say that I am excited to attend his retrospective in the spring.
If you're looking for a high end gift this Christmas for someone very lucky (me please), you can shop McQueen at Farfetch. Gift wise (I've gone for pieces <£200, there was too much I wanted in excess of that but we have to realistic here!), my picks have got to be:
Who is your favourite designer?

Jorge Moll is a very accomplished neuroscientist in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is the president, member of the board and senior researcher for the D'Or Institute of Research and Education, a nonprofit organization that promotes scientific and technological advancement in healthcare. In addition to his practice, he is also president of the Instituto D'Or de Pesquisa e Ensino, a medical research institute. He has maintained a General Partnership with VHM Ventures in San Jose, California since March of this year.
Jorge Moll was educated at the University of Sao Paulo and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and yet he was also a visiting research scholar at Stanford University from 2015 to 2016 and a research fellow at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke from 2004 to 2007.
Moll has been a forerunner in the study of how the human brain influences moral behavior and social judgments. He found when researching with other doctors that a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) could detect that there was a neural basis for human social values. Jorge Moll is a pioneer in Moral cognitive neuroscience, an emerging field of research that focusing on the neural connection to human forms of social understanding and behavior.
Combining fMRI and clinical evidence indicates a consistent network of brain regions are involved in moral cognition. Because of these revealing findings, there are new interpretations of behavioral impairments in patients with brain dysfunction. This revelation requires new approaches to unveil understanding of the complicated link between the single individual, the family, and society at large. It is proposed that a cognitive neuroscience view of how cultural and context-dependent knowledge develop. Complex moral cognition can be explained by logical social knowledge being integrated into our mores and normal expectations.
Jorge Moll's latest fMRI studies in healthy participants have revealed that moral feelings like guilt generate elements of social meaning in the right superior anterior temporal lobe. These groundbreaking studies are unveiling the brain's contribution to creating the unhealthy mental environment that leads to depression, psychosis, and sociopathic behavior. With the use of the fMRI to test control individuals compared to participants with the major depressive disorder, the results showed that guilt-selective SCSR-ATL were decoupling and this served as a marker of deficient functional integration. Thus, the brain can reveal why our society is plagued by violent crime. It may simply be the result mental dysfunction or illness.

Listen to this article
With deft, precise touches, Mastura Khatun goes about her work. On the operating table below her is a three-year-old girl, one eye staring upwards, a small brown disc visible through turquoise surgical sheets.
Working through a microscope, Khatun starts to remove Erina Hossain's cataract, making precise cuts as she moves around the girl's clouded lens, before finally winkling it out. Then Khatun, senior consultant at the Islamia Eye Hospital in Dhaka, introduces an artificial lens, which she nudges into place. It is skilful work, requiring very steady hands. "At any moment you can rupture the lens capsule," she says.
Half an hour later, Erina is on a trolley, being wheeled back to the children's ward with its wall paintings of Bengali jungle scenes – prancing tigers and fish – and regimented rows of wrought-iron beds, overseen by a starched matron. The girl is accompanied by her mother Bilkis, 29, and father Ismail, 35, who clutches his daughter's cuddly toy.
For the Hossains, who live in one tenement room on the edge of Dhaka, this is a bewildering encounter with the world of modern medicine. For Dr Khatun, 54, it is just another operation – but one that should spare a child from a lifetime of blindness. "I was the first trained ophthalmologist in Bangladesh," Dr Khatun says.
Dr Wahidul Islam, Bangladesh country director for Sightsavers, the international development organisation supported by this year's Financial Times' seasonal appeal, says: "Eye health is a very big issue in Bangladesh – a lot worse than in other developing countries." Lack of money has forced policymakers to make hard choices; it has also contributed to ignorance and the spread of conditions that cause visual impairment. "There is a big link between blindness and poverty, it causes a huge economic loss," says Dr Islam.
Founded in the UK in 1950 (originally the British Empire Society for the Blind), Sightsavers tackles preventable blindness, and has been working in Bangladesh since 1973. Its staff assess need and deliver treatment and supplies. The charity also works strategically, lobbying government officials for the inclusion of visually impaired people in schools and workplaces, and to give more prominence to eyecare.
The World Heath Organisation estimates that preventable blindness accounts for as much as 80 per cent of the 314m worldwide cases of visual impairment. And the number one cause of preventable blindness is cataracts. Formed when the lens of the eye clouds up, cataracts prevent light from hitting the retina. In 2010, partners supported by Sightsavers carried out almost 65,000 cataract operations on adults and children in Bangladesh.
In the developed world, cataracts are a problem faced by the elderly. In poorer countries, the condition is common in children and can be caused by maternal illness, such as measles, during pregnancy; or by genetic problems. Infections or traumatic events such as an accident can also trigger cataracts.
Any cases of child cataracts in the UK each year are typically swiftly treated through health screening in the NHS. Not so in the developing world, where child cataracts are often not picked up because healthcare systems are patchy, at best, and there is widespread public ignorance of the condition and how it can be treated.
Erina's mother Bilkis, who works as a seamstress in a garment factory, first noticed her daughter had a problem about a year ago. If she stood beside her daughter, the girl "did not notice me unless I called out", she says. Erina stopped venturing into the small yard that the Hossains share with three other families.
Her worried parents turned first to traditional medicine. One healer massaged Erina's back with leaves, another told them to "put garlic in the ground and when it disintegrates the problem will be gone". (Other traditional cures include the application of "snail water" from a squeezed mollusc and "couching" – punching out the lens of the eye with a needle.)
Ismail works as a casual labourer, and one of his employers told the family they should take the girl to a doctor. From there, one of Sightsavers' local partner organisations referred Erina for free treatment at the Islamia Eye Hospital.
Erina's condition has taken its toll on the family's life and its already precarious finances. Ismail gave up his job tending cattle to spend more time with his daughter. His current work – ferrying bricks from the many brickworks whose smokestack chimneys punctuate the surrounding neighbourhood – is less well-paid, bringing in about £40 a month.
Erina's brother Billal, a lively eight-year-old, stopped going to school so that he could look after his sister, feeding and playing with her and ferrying her to the tenement's single shared toilet.
On the day of Erina's operation, FT photographer Charlie Bibby and I drive out to the family's home, through the enervating treacle of Dhaka's traffic and rickshaws. ("Behind the Turag police station and west side of the Exper Take Knitting Ltd," read the directions that take us out of the centre, past waterways and factories.)
The Hossains recently moved here, escaping one of the capital's slums, in the latest stage in a journey of modest progress that started five years ago when Bilkis and Ismail left their home province of Sher Pur in central Bangladesh, one of the poorest parts of the country.
Inside the family's room, Billal is playing with his sister on the bed; she laughs along, though her stare into the middle distance betrays her limited vision. Outside, Ismail is tense and tearful. A lot rests on the success of Erina's operation. In this society, girls with bad vision (even those who just wear glasses) do not "make a good marriage", he says. As they walk down the dusty lane towards the car that will take Erina and her parents to the Islamia, it is Billal who comforts his father with a reassuring pat on the back.
Treating childhood cataracts is more expensive than it is for adults, costing, Sightsavers says, on average £75 per eye – compared to £17 for adults – as the operation and follow-up care is more complicated. But the longer-term benefits of giving children sight-saving operations is considerable to the patients and to society. "It is the most cost-effective thing in the whole world," says Dr Deen Mohammad Nourul Huq, director of Bangladesh's national eyecare plan and president of the country's opthalmologists' association.
Arriving a little late for dinner in one of the city's smarter hotels, this self-confident and jovial surgeon explains that he has just finished operating – eight procedures between 4pm and 7.30pm. After dinner he will return to his private practice, where he will work until after midnight.
In Bangladesh, surgeons who work for the public sector in the morning can swap to private work later in the day. Allowing doctors this freedom boosts operating capacity in a country that suffers a severe skills shortage, but Bangladesh still lags far behind its neighbours, India and Pakistan, in terms of the numbers of cataract operations it carries out. There is a backlog here of an estimated 600,000 people needing treatment for cataracts.
One of the challenges facing organisations such as Sightsavers and its local partners lies in identifying children who need care and treating them before it is too late (generally, before the age of seven). Dr Huq wants to establish 5,000 community eye clinics to find people who need eyecare – especially those living in rural areas, far from projects in Dhaka. (In the capital, for example, Sightsavers supports, together with Standard Chartered bank, a project aimed at delivering basic eyecare in the slums that are home to almost a third of the megacity's 15m inhabitants.)
Huq is optimistic about his plans, citing successful health campaigns that centred on nutrition and vitamin deficiency and involved close co-operation between local officials and international non-government bodies – known in the acronym-ridden jargon of the development world as "Ingos". If his project succeeds, Bangladesh may yet make significant steps towards meeting its commitment to Vision 2020, the international initiative led by the World Health Organisation to eliminate preventable blindness by the end of the decade.
Huq is a key player in policymaking in Dhaka, and works with the country's health ministry on devising strategy. But, he says, the basic appeal of his surgical work has not diminished. When dinner is over, Huq still has an eye on the clock and is mindful of his waiting patient, but allows himself a moment of reflection. "Immediately after the surgery, the patient starts seeing. The satisfaction for a surgeon is tremendous," he says, beaming. "No other surgeon gets that."
A day after the operation, Dr Khatun gets exactly that satisfaction when she arrives to take off Erina's bandages. She tests the girl's eye and pronounces it good. The Hossains are discharged but reminded that they will need to bring their daughter back to have the other eye operated on – some families do not bother, thinking, as Khatun says, that "one eye is enough".
Erina will also need to keep taking her medication for a few weeks – something that the family cannot really afford. ("I will help them," says the doctor, who says that she occasionally subsidises patients with supplies from her own stocks or her own pocket.)
When Charlie and I next arrive at the Hossains' home, we are greeted by a beaming Ismail, clutching Erina, who now sports fetching red spectacles. "This morning she moved across the yard and back," says Bilkis, proudly. The effect on Billal is almost as marked. "Now my sister is OK, I can go back to school," he boasts. "I can do everything."

Letter from the editor
The Financial Times is delighted to be launching its 2011 seasonal appeal to readers. This year, it is in support of Sightsavers, which works in more than 30 developing countries to prevent and cure blindness. Some 39m people are sightless. Yet 80 per cent of all blindness can be prevented or cured, often inexpensively, transforming the lives of sufferers and their families.
Frederick Studemann, our analysis editor, has travelled to remote parts of Africa and south Asia to look at Sightsavers in action – be it treating river blindness and trachoma in Nigeria or children's cataracts in Bangladesh. In the next six weeks, his reports will feature in the paper and on FT.com with pictures by our chief photographer Charlie Bibby. Our seasonal appeals have raised £6m in the past five years for the featured charities, chosen in a vote of FT staff worldwide.
This year we are lucky to have extremely generous support from two large donors.
Standard Chartered bank, which has a longstanding charitable relationship with Sightsavers, will match all donations, pound for pound and dollar for dollar. The UK government will match all donations from individuals in Britain. The effect will be to double all donations, and those made by the UK public will be tripled – a huge incentive for giving.
The FT is mounting two other fundraising events: an auction of superb pictures by international photographers; and an auction of lunches in the company of star FT writers and editors, generously provided by some of the world's leading restaurants.
You will also find messages from Richard Meddings, finance director of Standard Chartered, and Andrew Mitchell, Britain's international development secretary, explaining why the bank and the UK government are supporting the FT appeal. I hope you will be equally inspired.

Lots of ways to multiply donations
Donations to the Financial Times 2011 seasonal appeal will go much further thanks to two generous agreements to match readers' contributions. The effect will be to double all donations and to triple those made by the UK public. Further funds will be raised by an FT photographic auction and an auction of lunches with FT writers at leading world restaurants.
● Standard Chartered, the global emerging markets bank, already a strong supporter of Sightsavers, will match all donations to the appeal – pound for pound and dollar for dollar – through its longstanding community investment programme, Seeing is Believing. Richard Meddings, the bank's finance director and chairman of Seeing is Believing, says: "For Standard Chartered, the case for tackling avoidable blindness is compelling. Even a relatively small contribution can be the difference between a life of sight and a life of blindness. That's why we're proud to support this appeal by matching all contributions."
● The UK government will match donations made by individuals in the UK. Andrew Mitchell, the international development secretary, says: "The British public has repeatedly shown its generosity during tough economic times, supporting charities' life-altering work in some of the world's poorest countries. We are responding to that generosity of spirit by matching public support for Sightsavers pound for pound – and working with Standard Chartered means the charity can triple its impact."
● Caroline Harper, chief executive of Sightsavers, says: "The appeal will enable us to change the futures of those in the world's poorest countries who are blind for the lack of access to simple and cost-effective treatments. Readers could help us raise more money for the appeal by asking your employees, friends or colleagues to donate their last hour of pay for 2011.
"Standard Chartered is asking its global workforce to donate their last hour, which after matching we expect will raise at least $600,000. To find out more and to calculate your hourly rate, visit www.sightsavers.org/ftappeal or email email@example.com."
● The FT and top restaurants have combined to offer readers the chance to bid for lunch with some of the paper's leading writers and editors.
The auction will start on December 1 and will run until December 11 at www.ebay.co.uk/ftappeal
● The FT will also hold an auction on November 30 of images donated by leading international photographers. To view the photographs go to www.ft.com/appeal

More and more, governments are seeing the benefits of organizations that have developed and report on their sustainable business strategies. As a result, governments are actively encouraging, and increasingly institutionalizing, the practice. Some 18,000 companies in the EU may soon be required to disclose sustainability information. In June 2012, Brazil, Denmark, France, and Sweden declared their
commitment to a "report or explain" approach – requiring companies to disclose sustainability information, or else explain why they don't. Better manage your corporate risk and get ahead of the curve by finding out in this session how to be better prepared for governments and regulators that are increasingly mandating transparency and corporate sustainability reporting.

The magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events in North America has grown steadily over the last 15 years, culminating in 2013 with a record natural disaster insurable loss of $3 billion in Canada alone, due largely to major floods in Alberta and Ontario. To help better prepare for ongoing extreme weather events, this session will address two critical subjects. First, property and casualty insurers will profile the losses they are currently realizing due to extreme weather, and the actions that the sector believes must be addressed to sustain an insurable housing market. Second, industry and government leaders will recount their "real world" lessons with recent catastrophic floods, and share broadly applicable lessons that others should embrace to reduce vulnerability to extreme weather.

West Ham will do everything in their power to keep midfielder Mohamed Diame from the clutches of Arsenal, according to the club's co-chairman David Gold.
Diame's future was the subject of intense speculation during the January transfer window, with Arsenal one of several clubs linked with a move for the Senegal international.
Arsenal has once again been suggested as a potential destination for Diame this summer as Arsene Wenger strives desperately to reinforce his squad before the summer transfer deadline.
The frantic nature in which Arsenal have been conducting their transfer business has been cause for concern for some West Ham fans, with one asking Gold on Twitter what the club would do if the Gunners made an approach for Diame.
In his response, Gold attempted to allay fears that the 26-year-old could leave, claiming the club will remain resolute if a bid for the player is made.
He tweeted: "We are doing everything possible to keep Diame."
West Ham, meanwhile, continue to look to recruit a striker before September 2, with Gold confirming the must first sell players before they are able to make any more acquisitions.

One of the most popular entertainers in Madagascar and throughout the Indian Ocean islands is Eusébe Jaojoby, the reigning king and one of the founders of the modern dance music known as Salegy. The word Salegy itself dates back to the '60s; of Indonesian origin, it refers to a new, electric music, bridging both popular and traditional music. Typically, its songs are extremely upbeat, clocking in at about 150-plus beats per minute, which are usually expressed in brisk, ternary meters (like 6/8). That means you'll be dancing up a sweat before the end of the second verse. Jaojoby's rhythm section cooks up spitfire grooves that just don't quit. Kudos especially to drummer Augustin Radaonandrasana, whose polyrhythmic dexterity is nothing short of spectacular. Not all the tunes clock in at breakneck speeds. The gently cavorting "Mahangoma" and others provide welcome (and necessary) breathers in between 6/8 scorchers like "Malagasy" and "Tsy Zanakra Mpanarivo," which undulate with tricky "3 with 2" cross-rhythms. Timba-like bloques (breaks) abound as well.

About Amateur Radio:
Amateur (ham) radio is both a hobby and a community service, providing people of all ages and backgrounds a fun way to communicate with others around the world (and in outer space – on the International Space Station), practice and expand their technical and emergency preparedness skills, keep in touch with old friends, and make new ones.
Whether your interest lies in experimenting with the latest radio communication technologies, helping others in times of disaster or emergencies, participating in contests to see how many people around the globe you can contact, or "home-brewing" your own radio equipment from scratch, ham radio provides a lifetime of fun, learning, and social connections.
The Reno County Kansas Amateur Radio Association (RCKARA) brings local hams and their families together to carry on the long tradition of electronic experimentation, friendship, and service to our community. RCKARA also maintains a local repeater – a device that retransmits certain radio signals for greater coverage – which is used to keep in touch with local friends, provide volunteer communications support for events such as Band Days during the Kansas State Fair, walk-a-thons and other community service events, and to provide communications during severe weather events and other emergencies.
Learn more about Ham Radio and how you can get started at http://www.arrl.org/what-is-ham-radio. More information about our local radio club is available here – we meet in person on the second Tuesday of each month and our weekly on-the-air net is held every Tuesday except for the meeting night.
For a list of all RCKARA activities, and other events of interest to local hams, please visit the calendar section of this site.

Justine by Donatien-Alphonse-François de Sade
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This book offers an excellent lesson in how to escape censorship but is otherwise rather dull.
For those of you who don't know, Paypal is currently trying to clean up the internet by refusing to do business with any site that offers for sale works of a lewd and depraved nature (as defined by Paypal.) Justine is one of the dirtiest, most depraved, most wicked books you will ever come across but has nevertheless managed to elude Paypal's obsessive team of censors by adopting the following ingenious ploys.
1. The author has chosen for a pen-name something that sounds vaguely aristocratic. Americans revere titles. For the Marquis de Sade, they are a matter of contempt ("forged by the impertinence that seeks, and sustained by the credulity that bestows them.")
2. The novel is disguised as a work of philosophical literature. You can depict any act, no matter how bestial or disgusting, so long as your tale has a scholarly imprint. On the back of my paperback copy of this book the label "Literature" is stamped in the top-left and in the bottom-right corners, where even the most stupid of censors can't miss it.
3. It is written in French. Most Americans can't understand French and those who can know that French, being the language of love and having been kept implicitly pure down the centuries by the French Academy appointed for that purpose, permits everything. That said, my scholarly translation was produced in America by American scholars. It is always a good idea to enlist the aid of scholars in editing your work if you can because most of them are sexually repressed and therefore see nearly any kinky fantasy as normal.
4. The author employs circumlocution. Okay, this ruse can backfire but it keeps all but the most intelligent of readers off your back. (And censors, by definition are not intelligent readers.) So, for example, when Justine is stripped naked and softened up prior to being gang-raped by four hardened criminals, the author finds ingenious ways to stimulate the imagination by using language that is deliberately imprecise:
"… as soon as I was as he [one of the gang members] desired me to be, [i.e. naked] having made me crouch down on all fours so that I resembled a beast, Dubois [the female gang leader] took in hand a very monstrous object and led it to the peristyles of first one and then the other of Nature's altars, and under her guidance the blows it delivered to me here and there were like those of a battering ram thundering at the gates of a besieged town in the olden days."
This pretty simile, by the way, reminds me of one of my favourite Chinese books, Fortress Besieged by Qian Zhongshu. The title is based on a French proverb:
Marriage is like a fortress besieged: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out.
There is much more to be said about this extraordinary novel but as it is nearly all of an intellectual and moralistic nature I suspect it will have little interest for my friends, acquaintances and readers, so, with a heavy heart, I will give this book two stars for effort and move on.
8 Responses to "Brutal gang rape missed by Paypal's censors"
the book is a most boring read, I would say, and personally I left the book without reading it through. De Sade in whole is boring, to put it mildly, like any fiction, wich is overloaded with bedscenes and sexual violence, and his Philosophy in the Bedroom is not worth a brass farthing.
*still laughing* on the ways to escape the PayPal censor. But I'd add two more. Be male and be dead. Both those give you a huge advantage.
Recently, doing some reminiscence, I found that indeed, personally I was educated by legacy/books written by the "dead white European men", mainly, 🙂 and I still feel thankful to most of them, regarding my compatriot classic writers as Europeans too.

text: Arts, Music, and Recreation TV & Film Top 10 Dramatic Performances by Comedians Funny Actors in Serious Roles - Sometimes It Actually Works Share Flipboard Email Print TV & Film Movies Best Movie Lists Comedies Science Fiction War Movies Classics International For Kids Horror Awards & Honors Animated Films TV Shows by Ian Forbes Updated May 21, 2017 It comes as little surprise if you think about it, but in order to understand the more painful and vulnerable aspects of the human condition, it helps to have developed a sense of humor as a coping mechanism first. As such, some of the more impressive examinations of the self and psyche have come from people known more for eliciting tears of laughter than sadness. The Color Purple - I just couldn't fit it on the list). Y-chromosome bias aside, here's 10 examples of traditionally comedic actors turning that smile upside down. - I just couldn't fit it on the list). Y-chromosome bias aside, here's 10 examples of traditionally comedic actors turning that smile upside down. 10 of 10 Will Ferrell Getty Images It's slightly more quirky than dramatic but watching Will Ferrell play it straight (for the most part) in is fairly impressive. The character has a real arc and it needed that little bit of light that seems so inextinguishable in his usual on-screen personality. Looking at subsequent attempts at drama like , it might be best for Will to stick to the noisy slapstick shtick that works so well for him, but the effort here was much appreciated. 09 of 10 Adam Sandler There's really no denying that Adam Sandler has fallen off the comedy truck and is rolling into a very deep ditch of absolute horse manure. His inability to realize that his comedic sensibilities should adjust as he enters more adult phases in life is only slightly less disturbing than the amount of money some of those films are able to squeeze out of audiences who apparently need the cool touch of air conditioning more than their dignity. And yet, in regards to this list, there is Punch-Drunk Love. I personally prefer his one other dramatic turn in and think that's a better overall film, but this role demanded a bit more from Sandler and he didn't have Don Cheadle to lean on for support so it gets the slight nod. 08 of 10 Ben Stiller Before he was spending nights inside museums, Ben Stiller gave it a go in the dramatic world with Permanent Midnight. Playing a drug-addicted comedy writer may not be completely leaving the creature comforts of comedic sensibilities behind, but there's no mistaking this role for just about anything else in his career; and you're certainly not watching this for a few laughs. . Playing a drug-addicted comedy writer may not be completely leaving the creature comforts of comedic sensibilities behind, but there's no mistaking this role for just about anything else in his career; and you're certainly not watching this for a few laughs. 07 of 10 Mo'Nique The lone woman on the list, Mo'Nique more than holds her own against the boys. served up an actor's dream of a role, that of a mother taking out her the frustration she feels about her own life on a child following in her footsteps who has somehow grown up without the same hard edge. While much of the credit may lie in the script, it takes a fearless performance to realize what's on the page, and that's exactly what got delivered to audiences. 06 of 10 Marlon Wayans Few would have guessed after Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood that the youngest Wayans brother would go on to be a part of something as truly unforgettable and haunting as 2000's Requiem for a Dream - but he did. Playing sidekick to Jared Leto (also playing against expectation), there was no mistaking that Marlon Wayans and the rest of the cast had tapped into some very dark places in order make director Darren Aronofsky's vision manifest itself. It's a movie most people only watch once but it leaves an indelible impression; whether that impression is good or bad is up to you. 05 of 10 Patton Oswalt Primarily a stand-up comedian, Patton Oswalt had been dipping his toe into the acting waters with small, supporting roles in a host of films and TV shows (your kids know his voice best thanks to playing Remy in ). Heck, for you fans of truly bad sequels, he even plays a weapons expert in Blade: Trinity. However, once you watch Big Fan, there's no mistaking that Oswalt can tap into some really dark corners of his mind. A film about an obsessive NY Giants fan unsure how to deal with being badly assaulted by a member of the team, this was an indie and critical darling but didn't find the audience it deserved. You can be a part of changing that. 04 of 10 Bill Murray Of late, more and more of Bill Murray's roles skew towards the dramatic and it's no real surprise that he can pull it off. Although it was iconic comedies like Caddyshack and Ghostbusters (not to mention Saturday Night Live) that launched him into the celebrity stratosphere, early in his career he also made The Razor's Edge, to varying critical success. Early in the new millennium, after what seemed like a long break from feature films (though Wes Anderson fans would disagree), Murray returned stronger than ever in writer/director Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation. What comedic bits there are in the film only intensify the dramatic ones, and it's the subtle looks and constantly analyzing mind of Murray's character that enable a story simply about two people finding a way to battle loneliness, depression, and insomnia to resonate so strongly. 03 of 10 Will Smith A box office superstar, few actors have a track record with audiences like The Fresh Prince. Although his bread and butter is injecting comedy into big budget affairs, one of his earliest film roles was one of his best, in Six Degrees of Separation. I'm hard pressed to argue subsequent work is more impressive given the lack of acting experience Smith had at the time in delivering such a powerful performance. Still, I'm going to do so and state that Seven Pounds marks his most moving role. It's a heavy film, steeped in desperation and depression but for every ounce of sadness, there is a sliver of hope and a passion for life that his character is able to give to those he comes in contact with. And watching him struggle to decide how to handle an ill-fated relationship with Rosario Dawson (in perhaps her best role as well) is like tearing a band-aid off of my heart every time I re-watch the film. 02 of 10 Robin Williams While his acting career is bit hit and miss (*cough* Patch Adams), Robin Williams has a number of excellent dramatic turns under his belt; Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, One Hour Photo, etc. However, the role that cemented his ability as an actor in my head will always be The Fisher King. Playing a man whose sanity was destroyed by violent trauma, it's a stunning performance and if this one has gone unwatched in your life, put it on your list of things to do. 01 of 10 Jim Carrey Bursting onto the scene as a member of the In Living Color cast and then inflating his paycheck with hits like Dumb & Dumber, Ace Ventura and The Mask, it wasn't until The Truman Show that people got a real taste of the serious side underneath all the funny faces. However, his greatest performance is in director/co-writer Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A heartbreaking tale of love, loss, and the rinse/repeat cycle created by utilizing a medical procedure to erase painful memories, this is one of my favorite films of all time. It taps into something so central and primal regarding our need to be close to someone else in such a beautiful and longing manner. Carrey's ability to represent the average guy just looking to love and be loved is at times painful to watch, but in that good way that makes all the red wine you're drinking not just tasty but necessary.

This teacher has a cold, so this post will be short and sweet, but I wanted to share how we observed Patriot Day today.
First thing this morning we added the stars to our flags (adapted from this site). Let me tell you, trying to get 50 stars on the flag was hard enough - trying to put them on in rows of 6 and 5 was impossible! We started out strong and then when I realized that most of my darlings didn't have the visual perception to be able to continue spacing the stars evenly, I settled for just getting 50 stars on the page! Actually, I should say "star-like blobs" because painting with q-tips does not lead to precision!
Still, they look super and the kids were very proud of themselves and that's what counts!
We also made our red, white and blue quilt! I had cut out red, white and blue rectangles and then punched out hearts, stars and United States shapes (I even used the paper left behind after the shapes were cut out!). I allowed each child to choose as much or as little as he/she wanted. I think they turned out beautifully and I displayed them in our cafeteria/auditorium for the whole school to enjoy!
Here is the whole quilt as it hangs on the wall:
And here's a close up of the individual panels:
We also performed "Red, White and Blue" for the whole school! When I told my kiddos that the day had finally come, they were so excited, I even heard some squeals! They absolutely love the song and the sign language and were so proud of themselves to be performing on the stage! Our assembly was actually the 4th grade's program - they sang patriotic songs and recited poems. But, since we really wanted to perform on September 11th I asked the music teacher if she could fit us in somewhere and she did! I am still trying to figure out the permission needed to post the video and how to upload it, but as soon as I do I will share - so darn proud of the kids and so happy that Debbie Clement created this song! We will keep it on our playlist for the rest of the year - it's perfect for Constitution Day, Memorial Day and pretty much any patriotic holiday!
Alright, my Nyquil is kicking in so I am off to bed - hopefully this cold is short-lived! We have 1/2 day tomorrow - at least for the kids. They get to go home at 12:30 but teachers stay until 4 :( Have a great night everyone, stay tuned for more patriotic crafts as the week goes by!

I'm allergic to chocolate.
A baker allergic to chocolate? Say it isn't so.
I'm also allergic to soy, nuts, and just about everything orange, well, except oranges themselves.
But, back to the Chocolate.
You see, I've lived most of my life convincing myself that Skittles were as good as Kit Kats and Starburst, even better than Twix. But on Easter, nothing could compare with chocolate bunnies, right?
Well, this year Easter falls on the 31st, and shares the day with National Oranges and Lemons day... hurray! So our theme of the day is Citrus, and believe me, these Sunday Supper recipes will get you puckering up!
And mine? I dug deep in the old recipe files for this one.
My Mom used to serve this Frozen Lemon Dessert for dinner parties, smart, as this is a perfect do ahead dessert. And I'll never forget me sneaking into the kitchen whispering to my Mom as she was clearing the dishes, asking "are they done, yet?" so I could help myself to whatever was left in the pan.

We adopted 2 last year after we lost both of our other kitties last year within 5 months of each other. It was heartbreaking and I didn't want any more kitties but my husband talked me into it and I'm glad he did. Now, I laugh at these two instead of cry for my lost ones.
They are both about 3 years old now and they play together so well. One is a male Flame Point Siamese and the other is a female Norwegian Forest Cat.
Looking forward to seeing more on your blog :)Replies
