Times: Newark Mayor Backed Bloomberg, Then Got Funds
Via The New York Times:
Mayor Cory A. Booker of Newark has been one of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's most vocal supporters this campaign season, stumping with him on at least four occasions, including a whirlwind tour of African-American churches in Queens on Sunday.
Perhaps Mr. Booker was trying to show some gratitude.
On April 17, Mr. Booker, a Democrat, crossed party and state lines by endorsing Mr. Bloomberg, an independent running as a Republican, in Harlem. About a month later, Mr. Bloomberg's longtime accountant contributed $26,000 — the maximum allowable — to Mr. Booker's re-election committee next year, according to campaign finance records.
Technically, the contribution to Mr. Booker's 10-member slate, which includes 9 Municipal Council candidates, was made by Martin J. Geller, Mr. Bloomberg's accountant. But Mr. Geller has long had a habit of contributing money to candidates or committees that the mayor supports, with $100,000 in 2007 to Senate Republicans in Albany being one notable example.
The contribution is only the second one that Mr. Geller has made anyone in New Jersey politics. In 2005, he gave $2,000 to the campaign efforts of the Assembly Republicans in Trenton. At that time, Mr. Bloomberg was still registered as a Republican.
When asked about whether there was a quid pro quo, Howard Wolfson, the Bloomberg campaign's chief media strategist, said: "As Mayor Booker made clear this past Sunday, he and Mayor Bloomberg formed a friendship three years ago when he was first elected to office, and have worked together on a number of issues since, including gun violence and education reform. They form a mutual admiration society, and so it's not surprising that the two mayors would be supporting one another."
A spokeswoman for Mr. Booker, Desiree Peterkin Bell, added that several members of Mr. Booker's staff have worked in the Bloomberg administration.
"Since 2006, both men have publicly praised and respected each other's leadership — they have and both will continue to be supportive of each other in the future," she said in a statement.
Mr. Booker is hardly the only Democratic elected official who has not supported William C. Thompson Jr., Mr. Bloomberg's Democratic opponent. But he has been one of Mr. Bloomberg's most avid supporters, regardless of party affiliation, and has campaigned almost as much in New York recently for Mr. Bloomberg as he has in New Jersey on behalf of Gov. Jon S. Corzine, a Democrat.
Never was Mr. Booker more effusive, perhaps, than on Sunday when he traveled with Mr. Bloomberg to African-American churches in Queens, presumably to put some distance between some controversial remarks that former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani had made the week before about crime when he was campaigning with Mr. Bloomberg.
"My big-brother mayor," Mr. Booker said in describing Mr. Bloomberg, during a rousing address at Rev. Floyd H. Flake's Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral in Jamaica, Queens.
When told of the contribution, Anne Fenton, a spokeswoman for Mr. Thompson, said, "Today's revelation that Mike Bloomberg has paid for the endorsement of Newark Mayor Cory Booker is scandalous. It proves Bloomberg is willing to do anything to win this election and calls into question many of the supporters who have stood beside him."
There are no other records, at least so far, showing that other politicians who have endorsed Mr. Bloomberg have also received contributions in recent months. But campaign finance experts caution that a full accounting won't be available until after the election.

I have been so very tired lately. The busiest part of the year for me seems to be over, but I'm in such a mode of busy-ness (is that a word?), that even though things have slowed down a bit, I walk through my house after the kids have gone to bed and I look for things to do. I can't seem to sit still for long.
My husband is working in TX for 2 weeks and so it's just the kids and I right now. Yesterday, I left work at 4:30, stopped by the grocery store for some grapefruit, bread, apples, and flour, then picked the kids up by 5:15. When we pulled in the driveway, the "I'm hungry"'s began and so afternoon snacks were given. I decided that we were not going to church last night-it's a 20 minute drive one way and by the time we get home it is normally 8:30 or later and I still had to go clean the revenue office...blah...
So I cooked dinner and then went out back to sit on the deck for a few minutes of peace. I sat back in my chair outside and looked around. Everything was still. There was no wind, no movement.
But inside of my head were so many thoughts racing...Loud and Fast. Thoughts like "healthier meals", "exercise", "bills", "hair cuts", "bed-time", "laundry"...I felt overwhelmed.
and then I heard a whisper...
and it was almost audible, but I'm sure it was coming from inside me...
soft...but over-powering everything else...
"Child, you don't have to be perfect. slow down. take a breath."
"Be still, and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10)
"...Peace, be still..." (Mark 4:39)
the other thoughts disappeared completely...and I sat back.
I felt relief. My thudding heart slowed a little.
Like, that's all I needed to hear...that I don't have to...I'm allowed to breathe.
I went back in and cleaned up a bit, but then I just laid down beside my kids on the couch...they were watching cartoons and I ended up falling asleep...probably for only 15 minutes or so, but it was refreshing.
We left right after, about 6:45, because like I said, I had to clean the revenue office.
But it was smooth after that. The kids were in bed and asleep by 8:30 and I should have gone to bed too...but I stayed up late, not listening to my body telling me to sleep. (I think that is just a side effect to my husband being gone and me having to sleep alone; I stay up until I literally must go to bed before I pass out.)
He calmed the hurricanes and they stopped
and the waves of the sea were quieted.
Psalm 107:29
My prayer today is that I allow God to calm my fears and my worries...to stop my distractions and my negative thoughts...to quiet my heart and soul so that I can hear Him whisper to me. (I pray this for you also)
It is all too easy to be busy-physically, mentally, emotionally.
Stop and listen for the Comforter, Prince of Peace, the Holy Spirit.
He longs to have our attention and be in conversation with us.
And He alone deserves our time.

There's something so classic about a clean, white t-shirt paired with jeans.
I found this James Perse top at Nordstrom Rack while on vacation in San Fransisco last fall and it's the most comfortable and softest t-shirt I've ever worn! I picked up a second one with shorter sleeves because they were such a great price. Gotta love Nordstrom Rack ; ).

Stylist's Tip: To take your t-shirt-and-jeans outfit from day to night, add a high heel and some accessories (watch, necklace, handbag, etc.) for a more polished look.

Irish Gov't wants U.S. military
The continued use of Shannon Airport by the U.S. military en route to war zones is at the request of the Irish government, new documents have revealed.
The U.S. military would have been willing to withdraw from Shannon following a series of attacks on aircraft there but the Irish government did not want them to do so, the documents, obtained by Irish state broadcaster RTE, show.
Documents obtained from the Pentagon through a Freedom of Information request outlined the thoughts of a senior official from U,S, Transportation Command, which oversees the transfer of officers between military bases.
"If the Irish had said, 'Quit coming to Shannon,' then we would have found somewhere else to go," General John W. Handy is cited as saying.
It further states that the Irish government was afraid that if they withdrew from Shannon following the attacks, it would send out a signal that the protesters had won and the Irish state did not want that.
The discussions about a withdrawal appear to have occurred in the aftermath of a protest by the Pitstop Ploughshares, a group that caused extensive damage a plane at Shannon in February 2003, before the invasion of Iraq was launched.
The documents reveal that over two million U.S. military personnel have flown through Shannon Airport since 2001, and the number of flights and personnel traveling through Shannon more than doubled in 2003 when the U.S. began its invasion of Iraq.
The busiest year was 2005 when nearly 2,000 aircraft carrying 336,000 personnel flew through Shannon.

Famine figures
The village of Killawalla suffered the biggest decline of population in the country during the Famine.
The west Mayo village lost two-thirds of its population during the Famine decade, according to a new atlas of Irish Famine data.
The population of the country during the Famine declined by two million.
For the first time that decrease is charted on a locality-by-locality basis by a team based at NUI Maynooth's National Center for Geocomputation.
The atlas of Irish Famine data takes a detailed look at Ireland throughout the Famine years from 1841-1851, charting population decline and changing agricultural practices.
Mayo was one of the counties that suffered most during the Famine. The county lost one-third of its population through starvation or emigration.
In 1841 the population of Mayo was 388,847, by 1851 it had fallen to 274,830; the number of homes in the county had fallen from 70,542 to 49,073 in the same period.
Westport, which was a busy Famine port and had a large workhouse, experienced a 15% growth in population during the period, while neighboring Killavalley (Killawalla) saw its population fall by a staggering 65%.
In the space of a decade the number of people living in Killawalla fell from 2,277 in 1841 to just 789 in 1851.

Stealing from baby's grave
A grieving couple faced further heartbreak when items from the grave of their baby daughter were robbed just weeks after they said goodbye to her.
Hope Alanna Foley Smith died at just three days old on July 5, leaving her parents Stacey Foley and Garrett Smith from Burrin Road, Carlow utterly devastated.
The couple buried their little girl in St. Mary's Cemetery Carlow and lovingly placed some treasured items on the grave. Yet just days later, two rose bushes and an ornament of a little baby were stolen, while a beautiful angel ornament was ripped from a little box and also taken.
"I am just pure angry and really upset. How could anyone rob a grave? The grave of a child … it's the lowest of the low," said Foley.
Foley and Smith visit the grave daily and first noticed that items were being moved; then they were shocked last week to find the precious keepsakes stolen. Hope was the couple's third child, sister to Sophie, 3, and Kayden, 17 months.
During Foley's pregnancy complications were discovered at 22 weeks, yet little Hope defied all the odds to be born seven weeks early at just two pounds, five ounces on July 2.
"She was perfect on the outside but inside she had so many problems," said Foley.
Hope received three shunts while still in the womb in an attempt to reduce swelling, and in her three days of life bravely endured a blood transfusion, 100% oxygen and countless medical interventions.
The family took the decision to donate some of Hope's tissues to science, to help other babies like Hope, while the decision to allow the shunts to be inserted while still in the womb was praised as a major assistance to medics for the future.
The family admits the trauma they've endured has been magnified by the callous robbery.
"There's security at the town park, so does my dead child not have the same rights as my living child?" asked Foley.
Assistant town clerk Seamus de Faoite confirmed that the council has security at St. Mary's, a local firm that carries out spot checks on a 24-hour basis.
"We do understand what an important amenity the cemetery is and at our budget meeting every year we put aside money for its maintenance, upkeep and security," explained de Faoite, who stated that it was not economically viable to have full-time security or CCTV cameras installed at the cemetery.

Charity cash crisis
The Cork branch of St. Vincent de Paul is set to run out of reserves after Christmas, such is the scale of demand for the charity's help during the economic crisis.
Brendan Dempsey, the charity's regional president, said people working for the organization had "never seen things so bad" and its ability to provide for the growing band of needy people is facing "crisis point."
Dempsey revealed that, last year, the charity spent over €5 million helping 30,000 people in Cork city and county. The final figure for this year is expected to be considerably higher, as calls to its helpline are up 43% so far.
"It's quite probable that we will help more than 50,000 people in the region before this year is out," said Dempsey.
He added that the charity was currently spending nearly five times more than it was getting in donations.
"The reason we are able to do this is that, when times were good, we put money away for a rainy day. However, we believe all this savings will be gone by next Christmas. We're simply in a crisis and if the trend continues we won't be able to keep pace," he said.
Dempsey said 45% of the charity's money is spent on single parent families. "Dads are not supporting their children and women who go to court to get maintenance orders find they are not being paid. The money should be directly deducted from a father's income," he said.

Robbery with lighter
A Skerries man who drunkenly attempted to rob his local post office with a cigarette lighter shaped like a gun has been given a suspended sentence.
Gerard Weldon, 48, told Gardai (police) afterwards he knew he had no chance of getting away with it and had wanted to get away from his life by killing himself or getting locked up.
Weldon pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to attempted robbery at Skerries Post Office on March 22, 2003. He has seven previous convictions.
Judge Martin Nolan noted it was a replica weapon, but on the day the staff believed it was real. He said Weldon was taking steps to address his problems, and he imposed a four year suspended sentence.
Garda Gerard Moroney told prosecutor Seamus Clarke BL that Weldon skipped to the front of a queue of customers at the branch, and when told by the cashier, who knew him, to go back to the end of the queue he produced what looked like a gun and demanded cash. The cashier noted he smelled of alcohol and hit the panic button.
A coworker saw what was happening, went to a back office and locked up the cash. When Weldon pushed the object under the hatch and pointed it at the cashier's head. She froze with fear thinking she may be shot. Moroney arrived on the scene from the station across the road and was directed to the front of the queue where he saw Weldon at the window. As Weldon turned and began to walk out Moroney twisted the gun like object out of his hand and restrained him.
Weldon told Gardai after his arrest the object was a cigarette lighter and he had brought it with him with the intention of robbing the post office. He said he had bills to pay.
Moroney agreed with defense attorney Seoirse Ó Dúnlaing that Weldon was highly intoxicated but was cooperative. He agreed Weldon had said he wanted to "get away from his life" by killing himself or by getting locked up.
Ó Dúnlaing said Weldon had been involved in a tragic car accident in 1993 in which he suffered severe physical injuries and afterwards developed a serious alcohol addiction. He said he found himself at a low ebb at the time of the offense but was no longer drinking.
He said the offense was a cry for help and Weldon demonstrated extreme remorse in interview.

Rejoice, my friends! Every time a recipe includes wine you know it is gonna be a hell of a good meal for sure 🙂 This one was the result of an emergency in my fridge when too many leeks were sitting there for way too long.
I like to prepare this salad in summer mostly because it can be served warm or cold. I like the cold version better as it has a nice, refreshing effect on my body. It is also a great side dish for you BBQ essentials.
I think this meal is one of those which make your friends cringe after hearing the name of it but once they have a mouthful, they will worship you 😉
Leek is so underrated! If you ask people what recipes with leek they know, the majority will name the leek soup and then they are done. But is that all that there is? Leek is an awesome vegetable – it helps prevent cardiovascular diseases, keeps the linings of our blood vessels in a good state and it contains an impressive amount of antioxidants. So it is a shame that we do not cook leeks way more often!
When I was thinking about the way to cook the leeks that were sitting in my pantry I knew that another leek soup was not the answer. It was a hot summer day (like most of the days are now, anyway) and I was looking for something refreshing and simple. No big effort, not a large number of ingredients. Something on a slightly unusual side. And I found it. The good news: it contains WINE!
* If you use the wine but you do not feel up to the drink-the-whole-bottle-alone challenge here is a good trick – pour the remaining wine in the ice cube form and freeze it – like this, you will have wine ready to use anytime you need it for another recipe without having to open a new bottle!*
This recipe will get your heart screaming (and not only because leeks are good for the heart!). It is so easy and so quickly done, yet the combination of wine and thyme makes wonders. You can leave out the wine of course, but I think the meal will lose its subtle taste. Another positive thing – you can decide whether to serve it warm or cold!
Leeks on wine (serves 4):
4 tablespoons oil
6 medium leeks
1 red onion
4 tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
100 ml water
50 ml white wine
2 tablespoons thyme
3 bay leaves
salt and pepper
How to cook it:
- Heat the oil in a larger saucepan.
- Add the leeks cut in about 3 cm pieces, red onion and tomatoes cut into cubes and minced garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes on high heat.
- Lower the heat and pour the wine and water in.
- Add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and let simmer until the leeks are soft.
- Uncover and cook for additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves before serving.
And that´s it! How simple is that? If you want a satisfying side dish to almost any meal, this one will be perfect for it – serve it warm. If you are looking for a light dinner, serve the leek salad cold with a slice of whole-grain bread. Either way is delicious and exotic.
Let me know if you liked the recipe and don´t forget to follow my FB page for more delicious vegan meals and tips on nutrition!
Have a great day!

Dirty Jersey Week, Day 5: Redman Going Solo
The next reason is that it marks the comeback of K-Solo. He'd basically disappeared when his deal with Atlantic wrapped up in '92. Plus, when EPMD split, he seemed to side with PMD's less successful Hit Squad than Sermon's powerhouse Def Squad. Not that he made any appearances on Hit Squad projects either. But now he was coming back on the most anticipated release from any of these guys, and it was on the Def Squad side, not Hit Squad. The beat for this is co-produced by Erick Sermon and Redman (though it's basically just a slight tweak of Mantronix's classic "Cold Gettin' Dumb" for Just-Ice with a little "Top Billin'" laid over the top). Did this also mean the Def/ Hit Squad split was healed? Had everyone gotten back together and was an EPMD reunion next on the way? Fans were understandably excited; and yeah, next year EPMD was Back In Business. But K-Solo's career got left in a closet somewhere. All he got out of it was a guess appearance on Stezo's indie 12"; and that guy was more on the outs that Solo.
So anyway, you already know the song on the Muddy Waters album is called "That's How It Is (My Big Brother)." Redman and K-Solo trade verses back and forth over "Cold Gettin' Dumb." But on the promo 12", the song has an alternate title: "That's How It Is (It's Like That)", and one of the versions on there, besides Instrumental and Acappella, is "(My Big Brother) - Radio Edit" (the Dirty version's on there, too). So, that begs the question, what is "That's How It Is (It's Like That) - Radio Edit," a completely separate track without the "(My Big Brother)" part?
Let's look at the retail version. Here, we get entire different sets of song credits for "It's Like That (My Big Brother)" and "That's How It Is (It's Like That)," even though they have identical writing, production, mixing, mastering, publishing and sample clearance credits. There's just one difference. Only "It's Like That (My Big Brother)" also credits additional vocals to K-Solo. Yes, both 12"s have the duet you're all familiar with from the album and music video on them. But they also have an alternate version with the same beat, but minus K-Solo. Redman's verses are all the same, but since removing K-Solo would make the song about 90 seconds, he also has all new, additional verses at the end. The song also has a different hook and is missing the "Reggie Noble's stinking ass" intro.
I'd love to know the story here! Did Redman record the song solo, and then K-Solo came around last-minute, so they re-edited it to cut him in? Or did they record the duet and then remake it without him? Was this the result of the tumultuous Hit Squad/ Def Squad drama still bubbling, or maybe Redman just wanted a solo version so he could tour with the song when Solo wasn't around? Which version came first?
Anyway, I've always been a K-Solo fan, so I like him being on there. I mean, his return was what made the song so exciting in the first place, and the two of them going back and forth with their distinct voices gives the song more energy. If the song's not a duet, it's a little too much like just an unnecessary "Cold Gettin' Dumb" rehash. But on the other hand, any Redman fan is going to also want the solo version with twice as many bars of him going crazy like, "I go down to White Castle to get a bitch who's on the dick for the whip. The lyricist is shit; I explode at full blitz to put Time Warner on the fritz."
Both 12"s have exactly the same track-listing, which is unfortunate because, while they come fully loaded with the instrumental and radio edits of both versions, they only include the Dirty and Acappella versions of the K-Solo song. And yeah, I like that one better; but it means we don't have an uncensored version of the Redman solo song; and as you just read, he definitely throws in some words that they had to cut out. Still, either 12" is a big step up from only having the album and the one, famous version of the song.

Compare the Muddy Waters CD & Muddy Waters VINYL as well, because some tracks are different. VINYL has full version of (at moment can't remember which track(s)) compared to CD has shortened/mixtapeStyle version.ReplyDelete

I'm not sure what I did to deserve this taunting from Modcloth but these dresses are gorgeous *pounds fist on table*! And out of my price range!.... My price range is clearance, dumpster dive finds, holding someone up with a butter finger disguised as a gun, etc. I do not have $175 (plus whatever shipping is) sitting around waiting to be applied to stunning dress purchases! So, I am going to ask again, what did I do to deserve such torture Modcloth? Wah. It is times like these that I wish I had a credit card so I could buy things I can't actually afford. I know no one is exactly climbing in the air ducts to seek advice from a lazybones like me but trust me, do not fuck up your credit. Just don't do it. When I was 18-19 I went nutso with credit cards and have regretted it ever since then, hence why I am credit card less now. Live and learn? Yeah, live and learn not to strangle your roommates because you can't get a place of your own. Roommates will drive you crazy over the tiniest of offenses, I'm completely convinced of this. Case in point, last night when I was making dinner, I had myself a very merry rant session and then had tears falling into my pasta all because of some comment about the trash. I even threw and kicked the empty pasta box *take that Barilla*. Oh hey Rachel, you got something showing, it's your crazy - might want to wash that off/go check a mirror.
I just started watching 'The Wire' and was really enjoying myself until beloved characters were getting "capped." I can't say capped with a straight face so I had to put it into quotations. It's not like the show bullet trained from puppies riding rainbows to gang violence, the show LITERALLY starts off with a murder, but I can't always gauge what is going to strike an emotional cord with me. Suffice to say tears were shed (more incidences of tears? geez...), it is a show full of tragedy, Baltimore is a rough city. I know the actual characters aren't real, however, I know that such things happen practically everyday in Baltimore. I'm from Baltimore, I lived in Arbutus (which is South West of Baltimore) until I was 7, and I watched the news every morning before school so I was/am aware of the cities problems. Don't get me wrong I partied in Baltimore with hardly a care in the world for years (moment to have flashbacks of shaking it) but now that I live in a place which has virtually no crime whatsoever, I realize just how bad Baltimore actually is. I'm kind of scared to go back, isn't that ludicrous? I always knew how the city was but now I'm scared of it, I wasn't scared at 18 when I was walking around in school girl outfits and such (not casual strolls mind you, it was to and from clubs/bars). Am I ridiculous or do other people get a little too emotionally involved in shows that represent true stories and places? SO because of all that, I've taken a hiatus from 'The Wire' watching because I'm just now getting over the Wallace incident. That and one of my roommates locked themselves out this morning and was knocking on the back door and I literally woke up my boyfriend to get the door. I didn't know who it was, it was dark, and I know what happened in 'The Wire'! Tap, tap, tap.
WALLLLACE, he was just a boy! Between this show and 'Game of Thrones', just ugh, I'm too sensitivo for this whole TV drama watching business.
My boyfriend and I start our vacation in 16 days, roughly only two weeks away, and I still don't know what outfits to pack! Holy frankfurter (how does this frankfurter become a holy creature, is it elected or...?), I need to get on that. But I did find a few new things that I'm determined to decorate my body with whilst on this vacation, well and one thing that is too warm for Florida. I found a really simple black dress that will be good to wear or use as a cover up and it was only $2 mo-f'in dollars! I finally decided to give in and admit that I've always wanted a pair of red heart shaped glasses (Cliche? Check. DGAF? CHECK!) and found a pair for only $5 on ebay. While we were shopping for cat necessities during the week (speaking of cats look at Mr. Hero, what a cutie, d'aww) I found this great pink heart print top, it is a pajama top but throw a tank top under it and no one everrrr has to know - well, besides you guys of course *shifts eyes*. I love using Valentines Day to quench my uber-girlie need for bright colors and heart prints! Go-Go-
In the interest of saving money we've been eating almost every meal at home and I made this really delicious rice dish - if you follow me on Twitter you might already know about it - but it was rice with lemon, basil, parmesan cheese, little butter, lots of garlic, and golden raisins! It was sooo good. I replicated the dish a few days ago adding onion and chicken, and still quite a keeper. Vegesaurus's, look away! Pretend the last picture never happened! The last meal I had to share because I'm American and it is my duty to share my meat and potato eatin'. That or I just really like steak, cheese, and potatoes. The last one rings more true.
Target delivered on the awesome promise once again. My boyfriend was not pleased ("how many coats does one girl need?" But it has ruffles and pockets!) that I found a black coat in the clearance section, yet again while shopping for necessities, it was originally $72.99 marked down to $21! It ties at the waist, ruffles at the bottom, and has pockets (I have two coats that don't have pockets and it drives me mad, how you make coat without pocket!). I'm so glad it came home with me, it is a bit too big but I like my coats with some extra square footage. Apologies for the bad pictures and the cat hair, my closet is jam packed so if I hung up my coats I'm pretty sure the bar would collapse (again) or snap in half...
Well, I'm hoping to get packed a few days before we leave and I was thinking of sharing tips for vacation packing for the plus sized gal, but that is only if I can actually successfully manage the whole thing. I wish these two cuties could come with, they look rather guilty of something... better go punish them with kisses.

ModCloth continually taunts me as well. They are so cruel and yet I always go back for more. Dont give up on Games of Thrones. I know murders be happening every show but it so good!

Those are the same dresses I am drooling over! Modcloth suxs. Btw. Cute cats! In a box! I died :)

@Courtney- Thank you, I love mah kitties, and they love costco runs! After taking this picture they both took turns sitting in the box individually and then fighting one another through the window/handle. I imagined little one act plays of course, they were both pretty Jerry Springer-esque. Modcloth is just not even fair, by the time I could even remotely consider these dresses they'll probably be sold out. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that is taunted by the tease that is modcloth. To think I only recently started skipping about on modcloth, such a great site. Oh, fabulous taste btw :P
@Amber- I don't think I could give up on Game of Thrones but it did cause a mini breakdown, if I had and could afford a therapist they would have a mess on their hand after every episode. On that note, I did not watch the last two episodes because I knew what was coming. I can feel the waterworks just thinking about it. Modcloth is the T-Rex to my cowardly Lawyer hiding in a loo so to speak, that is if I had a lawyer (lawyer is my bank account/money, huge shock considering what lawyers are like). It is great that a place like modcloth exists but at the same time it is just... *sigh*!
@Mary- Another lady with fabulous taste, what are the odds :P When I saw the dresses were in my size I had to go "Come on! This isn't fair" out loud. Now I know they can fit me? Ah, all hope is lost. Thank you about my babies. Halo (Mr. Black and White) seems very aware that people are talking about his cuteness, he is rubbing against the screen as I type this.

lol!!! sorry, i just came across your blog... you're hilarious. we have about the same budget for clothes, and even the same credit woes (just replace credit cards with student loans... booo.)
oh also, i love the wire too :)

Pshh ModCloth is wayyyy to pricey. But they seem to get away with it since their stuff is so gosh darn cute. I still haven't purchased anything from them...one day I will hit up their sales rack. I really like that teal dress.
I have always wanted a pair of heart shaped glasses. I haven't seen anyone wear them in awhile so I think it is more than ok to rock em :] Great find. Also - LOVE that coat from Target.
Your cats are just too cute. I wish I wasn't allergic to felines :[ Hmph.

@Chantilly- Aww, shucks, thank you. I'm so glad you came across my blog, hellooooo new friend! I wish I had a large disposable income to spend on clothes but those days are long gone. Student loans are the pits! I'm so glad to see a fellow 'The Wire' watcher, I didn't watch the show when it was actually on but I'm always behind the curve. *sigh* I will pick up on the show again soon but I know another one of my favorites is approaching a cap in his ass and it makes me a sad :( Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, I always get so happy to see a new face! Yay *does a little jig*
@ShyScout- I agree with you on the modcloth, charging extra because of the cuteness factor is just not even fair. I hate when I come across something I really like and see that it is $50+, I just don't have that type of money for a regular outfit... especially considering I have a closet full of clothes. I really have a soft spot for dresses too, I wish my wardrobe was all dresses. Ho-hum, maybe one day.
A few years back I was shopping with a friend and picked up a pair of heart shaped sunglasses and she gave me shit about them so I pouted and left the store empty handed. Never again, I like my Lolita glasses. Thank you about the Target coat, I love shopping the clearance section at Target! Target and I have a pretty serious love affair, it's been years of loyal service, I think I'm in love.
I'm so sorry to hear about the cat allergy, my boyfriend found out recently he has a cat allergy (he has really bad allergies/nose plumbing - that was gross lol) but he suffers through it. Thanks about mah kitteh's, Halo jumped up on the desk and pawed at the screen, I think someone is flattered ^-^.
Thanks so much for the comment!

omg I feel your modcloth pain- whyyyyy are yoou so beautiful and sooo expensive?!?!
And crying into your pasta? I the crazy, it's good for your skin and I'm sure the bin had it coming anyway.
$21!!!! Awesome!!!! You really couldn't have not bought it- it would be a crime not to buy it!!
(and totally get the credit card thing- just don't it!! I'd love to go back to my 20 year old self and tell her to back the fu*k away from the online shopping!)

@Wait until the Sunset - I wish I had the ability to make cute things like modcloth does because I'd share my creations with everyonne. I'd be the Robin Hood of cute dresses, figures I lack the dress making talent. The bin definitely had it coming, the steam too but I couldn't grab onto it! Grr.
I know right, $21 for a winter coat is too good of a deal to pass up! I bought so many things when I was younger and I don't have many of them left, I spent all the money and have nothing to show for it. Well not nothing I have a few necklaces and pairs of shoes I never wear but I'd quite prefer a house to put those things in. I've been relatively good since then though.
Thanks for commenting! I always look forward to your comments.

Modcloth is totally out of my price range-- especially their dresses, but they are so super cute! I hope to be able to get more practice sewing so I can just whip a dress out for myself one day! ONE DAY!
My friends have recommended The Wire before, but I just don't know if I can immerse myself in that kind of drama. I still have to watch GOT, but if they're anything like the books, then I'm sure I'll get super tired of them quickly.
And uhm... your kitties are just adorable! So freaking adorable!

I wish I had the ability to sew, I know practice would definitely help but I can't afford a sewing machine and hand sewn is definitely not gonna happen with these fat fingers. I'd love to create my very own personal modcloth type dress for myself. Your skirts are gorgeous so I'm sure you would do well with dresses. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that drools over modcloth but knows it is pretty much unattainable price wise.
'The Wire' is definitely an intense show, I still haven't picked up from the episode I left off on because I just can't do it yet. Game of Thrones was really good, I haven't read the books, I did however cry a lot (buckets worth) watching the show.
Hehe thanks about my kitties.

Your kitties are so cute!
I have only seen a couple episodes of the wire and it was like season 3 or something so I was quite lost. But I've heard good things.
Today I cried during Ellen, true story. No, I am not proud. It was just mother flippin' touching, yo.

So true, why is there so much pretty stuff out there! I'm constanty drooling over all kinds of dresses but then I look at the price and I think: "yeah, maybe not..."
You can't have too many coats, I mean, it's the most essential piece of clothing during the colder seasons. All people can see on the streets is your coat, so it has to be a lovely one! Or two, or three ;).

I remember reading this post but I guess I forgot to comment? I don't know. It's weird. Twilight Zone stuff(but not really). Anyways, that meal looks great! Kudos to you for cooking that! haha You know I feel your ModCloth pain. I have some debt from student loans and stuff that I can't even get approved for a credit card....or a Target/Walmart card...anything! I doubt I will ever buy anythng from ModCloth. When I see bloggers wearing dresses from there and it doesn't say "courtesy of or c/o" I'm always like "Dang, did they actually pay that much for that?" Glad I'm not the only one whose poor :p

i feel the same wrath for mod cloth, what the deuce? do they NEED so much awesome stuff ? i dont know, i JUST dont know...i havent started watching the wire, but I do like to use the word "whacked" with extra emphasis on the "H" for old timey sakes as well as "capped" good times...
Have fun on your vacation! where are you guys going? a girl always nees heartshaped glasses and as many coats as possible...my boyfriend actually asked me the same exact question this week when i told him i need a new jacket "how many jackets do you need, dont you already have more than one?" *sigh* boys...
anywhoo darlin hope you have a wonderful weekend!
- February 3, 2012 at 4:52 PM
- Honeysuckelle said...
Thank you, my kitties got danced with today, they weren't happy about it.
It is definitely a good show just a bit hard to watch because everything is so serious.
Aww, I like Ellen's show. Mother flippin' touching stories will make the tears flow though. What was the story? I'm not up for most daytime television... yes, I'm lazy.
- February 3, 2012 at 8:45 PM
- Honeysuckelle said...
I've heard that modcloth has good sales every now and then but I always seem to miss them, half of the things I covet would have to be at least 50% off and just pfft at the high prices for cuteness - that is always the case isn't it?
See, I'm glad other people understand the need for multiple coats. Sometimes I wear my pajamas or workout wear under my cute coat and still can feel fierce.
Thanks for commenting and validating my need for more coats hehe :)
- February 3, 2012 at 8:47 PM
- Honeysuckelle said...
Oh, dreamy dresses, dreamy dresses! I want to write some 1950's pop music about them, they're so pretty and unattainable.
Thanks for the comment love!

- Honeysuckelle said...
I do that all the time, it usually takes me weeks to realize it. I'll re-read the post and then not see my icon and go "wtf, I could have sworn I replied". It makes me wonder what I'm ACTUALLY doing with all this time that I think I'm doing something else with... very twilight zone. DoDodeeDodoDoDO!
Thank you about the meal, I recommend it, I made it again this week with carrots and still very yum. The other good thing about it is I use one pan so less clean up afterwards.
I can't get approved for credit cards either, sometimes I apply for them just for giggles and I'm always denied. Always *wah*! Nah, it barely gets to me anymore.

- Honeysuckelle said...
Seriously, spread that cute love modcloth, geez. That reminds me, I should see if their selling any modcloth stuff on ebay at a discounted price (I doubt it). Haha whhhhacked is a good one, it sounds comical when you emphasize the H. Capped is a good one too, I use it a little too much. "I capped the laundry today" for instance.
Thank you! We are going to Florida and hopefully stopping in Savannah, Georgia & Charleston, South Carolina along the way.
I'm a total heart shaped glasses convert now, I need them in every color/pattern! It is my new religion, the religion of heart shaped glasses. Boys don't understand. My boyfriend has one coat, one pair of boots, two pairs of pants, and that is what he basically wears every day. We ladies like more variety.

World Bank lowers growth forecast for developing world
The World Bank has revised down its forecast for economic growth in the developing world this year - from 5.3% down to 4.8%.
If right, it would be the third consecutive year of growth below 5% for this group of countries.
The Bank says that developing nations need to make economic reforms to promote growth.
But the new report does predict that growth in these countries will accelerate in 2015.
"Disappointing" is the word the Bank uses to describe the developing world's likely performance this year.
The organisation's president, Jim Yong Kim said these growth rates are "far too modest to create the kind of jobs we need to improve the lives of the poorest 40 per cent."
Temporary effects
However, there are some optimistic elements to the report.
The downgraded forecast reflects the impact of the Ukraine crisis, bad weather in the United States and other factors.
Some of these will be temporary and the Bank expects the developing world to record growth of around 5.5% next year and in 2016, which the report says is "broadly in line with potential," which means the rate of growth that they could sustain.
They will be helped by the stronger growth coming through in many rich countries, notably the US and the euro area.
Questions asked
But Andrew Burns, a senior economist at the Bank and one of the authors of the report, acknowledged that a period of three consecutive years of indifferent performance raises questions about whether the developing world is in for a long period of sub-par performance.
"It's one thing to have one year where one-off factors explain why growth wasn't quite as strong as you anticipated. To have three years in a row where growth disappoints does have to start begging exactly those kinds of questions," he says.
Even the World Bank's new lower forecast for this year would constitute a very strong performance in a developed nation.
But poorer countries can grow faster by adopting established technology and, in many cases, putting an increasing working age population to work.
Mr Burns says these countries should focus on things they can control. So rather than hope for further help from the developed economies, they should push ahead with economic reforms of their own.
The report says: "The structural reform agenda needs to be reinvigorated in order to sustain rapid income growth".
The report mentions energy and infrastructure, labour markets and the business climate as areas where some countries would benefit from reform.
Among the countries it names, India and South Africa are said to need to make efforts in all these areas.

Crown princess Mary was present for the return dinner offered by president & Mrs Parvanova to the Danish royal family. It was preceded by a concert and an exhibition.
Mary took part in just a few segments of the state visit: arrival at the airport, gala dinner and this return dinner. At this point her public engagements were still sparse. She was investing a lot of time in breastfeeding her baby son Christian.

But why? What justifies such major removals? Is it as simple as overlong running time? After all, Jackson's LotR was three long films and special editions. Pacing is a better argument, but Tolkien left them in. And rightly so I think. To my mind the Scouring and Tom Bombadil are more or less the heart of it all.
Bombadil especially. Have a read of this overview if you haven't seen the arguments.
If so, maybe that's why both were cut, as supposedly unfit for a 21st-century audience.
What could that mean? There's plenty at this post from earlier today, on zombies too.
Tolkien once wrote: "I do not expect 'history' to be anything but a 'long defeat'", and we have Galadriel verbalise the thinking in the fiction, or rather in the generally recognised fiction: "together through the ages of the world we have fought the long defeat." Really?
Why all the gloom? My reading of Bombadil suggests Tolkien did see, maybe even see, past. As he wrote of Bombadil: "he represents something that I feel important, though I would not be prepared to analyse the feeling precisely." As his Goldberry says: "He is."
Look at the feel for landscape Tolkien has, in fine distinctions. He sees the wood for the trees, and surely saw the cycles, the flow of atoms. It may be that if we spend too much time worldbuilding, a demiurge of sorts, we see a little further than the paradigm, even if we have to use the language of that paradigm to communicate this and to understand it.
If Spinoza was a bee, what is Tolkien? And what are we? Who's your Bombadil? We get to choose, and happily Jackson has given us space to do that so far, although if he has Stephen Colbert playing him (we don't know yet), it may go from one extreme to another.
So which Bombadil are you making, know it or not, as Tolkien's long defeat rumbles on?

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mark 11:24 (ESV)
Day 10 of 31-
While the ground lies in wait…
While the ground lies in wait, I am practicing the lesson in faith that is my greatest challenge-following obediently, without question, without reason or hesitation. I believe. I have seen God's Hands moving in my life, most profoundly in my brokenness.
While the ground lies in wait…
I am a dreamer, but clear that my role is to obey, in still silence. When I am silent and still, hidden in the shadow of His wing, there is just enough light for me to see Him work. I do not know the form my dream will take, exactly, and I am undeterred. Mine is not to conceive the dream, mine is to hear His Voice, and obey. He planted this dream within me, and I will trust Him to bring it through.
One of my sister-dreamers shared this today, and I'm closing with this thought…
"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it." - Peterson
On Mondays, I pray and play with friends here...

The Addison Streetscape Project
Poetry Walk
Addison Street Anthology
Collection of Essays by Staff and Community
Overview: Addison Street Arts DistrictThe Addison Street Arts District was the lynchpin of Berkeley's Downtown revitalization effort. Addison between Shattuck and Milvia was designated Berkeley's downtown Arts District. The District was developed through a collaborative partnership of arts and cultural organizations, private developers, and the City of Berkeley. It contains a vibrant mélange of arts group and businesses, creating a critical mass that defines the Arts District. The Addison Street Window Gallery, a cooperative effort between the Civic Arts Commission and the community, continually features the visual art of local Bay Area artists. Performing arts groups such as the Berkeley Rep and Aurora Theater have successfully established themselves in the Arts District along with the acclaimed Jazzschool, the Capoeira Arts Café, and historic Freight and Salvage.
The Arts District has expanded beyond its original boundaries with the relocation to Downtown of the University's Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, the Judah Magnes Museum, the Shotgun Players playhouse, Central Works Theater and other cultural organizations. Eventually, Addison Street will have the capability of showcasing public performances in the street, which can be blocked to motor traffic at Shattuck and Milvia as needed. The Arts District has effectively stimulated the revitalization of Downtown Berkeley, which is developing as an exciting urban arts center.
Addison Streetscape ProjectCity planners have undertaken a major redevelopment of the Addison Streetscape, which now includes a prominent public art component. The Addison Streetscape public art project is an extensive makeover of the sidewalk between Shattuck and Milvia. This project celebrates the Downtown Arts District, honors Berkeley's poetry heritage and the history of crafts in California, and provides an uplifting focal point for Addison Street and Downtown Berkeley.
Eight Berkeley artists, Lynne- Rachel Altman, Jenny Cole, Carolynn Haydu, Diana Maria Rossi, Rebecca Schwarz, Nancy Selvin, Sofie Siegmann and April Watkins were selected to create individual sidewalk artwork inserts which are placed at individual points along a weaving band running the length of the sidewalk. Between the colored band and the street is the Addison Street Poetry Walk, which displays poetry and prose selections which thematically relate to Berkeley, edited by Robert Hass, professor of literature at University of California at Berkeley and former Poet Laureate of the United States. The complete text of all the literary selections was published as The Addison Street Anthology, through the generosity of private donors. The City's Parking Garage also features two permanent art installations on the exterior walls of the garage along Addison Street.

Every gallery here has opened since the start of 2008, and all are exhibiting art that's startling, affecting, or just plain fun. Since most (though not all) of them show emerging artists, the barriers to buyingfinancial and otherwiseare low. If you like what you see, you just may be able to take it home.
1. Scaramouche
53 Stanton St.; 212-228-2229
Stand back! This little gallery's first fall opens with Jonathan VanDyke's minimalist sculptures rigged to spurt out brightly colored paint (through November 1).
2. *Sue Scott
1 Rivington St., second fl. 212-358-8767
Scott's sizable space, known for group shows and curatorial projects, is presenting an installation by Franklin Evans, who has transformed the gallery into a weird riff on his own studio (through October 24).
3. Nicelle Beauchene
163 Eldridge St. 212-375-8043
Beauchenewho represents a nice mix of emerging and emerged artistsis showing Brooklynite Rachel Foullon's wall-mounted sculptures of cedar and stained fabric, evoking the textures and details of life in rural America.
4. *Rachel Uffner
47 Orchard St.; 212-274-0064
Uffner's September opening for Sara Greenberger Raffertywho's showing her murky manipulated portraits of seventies comedians through October 25was packed to the rafters. A definite up-and-comer.
5. *Lisa Cooley Fine Art
34 Orchard St. 212-680-0564
Cooley represents a small crop of eclectic (and critically well-received) artists, and with the exception of a Texan and one West Coaster, all are local. Up now: a two-man show by painters Jon Pestoni and Zak Prekop (through October 18).
6. Collette Blanchard
26 Clinton St.; 917-639-3912
Blanchard made a splash last October with Belle du Jour (images of the female figure as imagined by E. V. Day, Mickalene Thomas, Shinique Smith, and others). Feminism is on the roster this fall, too, with Nancy Friedemann's unexpectedly dramatic enamel paintings of lace and embroiderya confluence of traditionally male and female media (through October 26).
7. Satori
164 Stanton St.; 646-896-1075
Like Blanchard, Satori is farther east than most local spaces, and both are worth the trek. This month, see one of the area's few sculpture shows: Benjamin S. Jones's wooden models inspired by not-so-stable urban architecture and planning (through October 18).
8. Sloan Fine Art
128 Rivington St. 212-477-1140
Alix Sloan worked as a private art dealer in Los Angeles before opening here in 2008. In November, look for a series of anthropomorphic digital animations and prints by Lilla LoCurto and Bill Outcault, which look like high-tech medical illustrations run amok.

A fantastic cholesterol blood-vessel-clogging English breakfast was enjoyed by all, including the black pudding (blood sausage). Stew was tactfully vague in explaining the contents of the black pudding to Karannina and Alexander. On the plate (photo) there are sausages, bacon strips, a fried egg, grilled mushrooms and tomato and black pudding. A large scoop of baked beans often accompanies this protein-packed breakfast, but not on this day.
I did the number-crunching activity of adding up the cost of the souvenirs in order to determine if we were within the limit. It is amazing how buying a magnet at one site and a book at another site, and a gift at another site, etc., can add up quickly within 6 months. After this task was complete (not my favourite activity), I listened to Stew and Jan explain the lives of their 4 children - dynamic people. Meanwhile, Dieter and the children took turns using the computer to put finishing touches to the blog. Dieter helped to clean sun-room roof with Stew. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day and perfect for this activity.
We worked at completing our final packing in preparation for the early drive and flight for the next day.
Jan, Alexander, Karannina and I enjoyed a last 'Sorry' game. Message to Jan: We have found in our game cupboard a 'Sorry' game in our game cupboard – exactly the same version that you have, except newer, and the directions are written on the cards. This was very exciting to discover!
A tasty curry chicken meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all and now we have a recipe called 'Curry at Stew and Jan's'. We then had a time of blessing and prayer and bible reading from Colossians before going to bed. We are allowing a level of excitement and anticipation to develop about 'going home'.

Sandboxie is an incredible little, lightweight program that allows you to run an application sandboxed which means anything the sandboxed app would normally write to disk is instead written to transient storage which can be easily removed.
From the Sandboxie site
If you run Freecell inside the Sandboxie environment, Sandboxie reads the statistics data from the hard disk into the sandbox, to satisfy the read requested by Freecell. When the game later writes the statistics, Sandboxie intercepts this operation and directs the data to the sandbox.
If you then run Freecell without the aid of Sandboxie, the read operation would bypass the sandbox altogether, and the statistics would be retrieved from the hard disk.
The transient nature of the sandbox makes it is easy to get rid of everything in it. If you were to throw away the sandbox, by deleting everything in it, the sandboxed statistics would be gone for good, as if they had never been there in the first place.
This works great when installing new applications that you aren't sure you are going to keep. I needed to do some testing with several video ripping apps and installed each of them sandboxed. I tested four separate apps and decided to keep one. When I was done testing I simply deleted the sandboxes and reinstalled the app I liked using the normal process. This meant I didn't have to worry about malware or dirty uninstalls leaving files on the disk or registry entries. Awesome.
As the excerpt above indicates you can also run apps you have already installed in a sandbox. This is particularly helpful when browsing the internet as any files typically written to your cache will be written to the sandbox instead. Want to try a new browser toolbar but don't want to commit to it? Install the toolbar while the browser is sandboxed.
While reading through the Sandboxie forum one individual commented that they had installed Sandboxie in a Terminal Server environment sandboxing the browser. Prior to installing sandbox their AV/malware scanners were picking up 200-400 malicious attempts a week. Sandboxie reportedly reduced the number of malicious attempts to 6 and those were done outside the sandbox. Incredibly impressive.
There really isn't any reason you shouldn't install Sandboxie. Go get it now.

What are fairies? Are they real?
I'm skimming Yeat's anthology, "Fairy & Folk Tales of Ireland," and one for thing, the "wee folk," "the good people," or the fairies are actually rather menacing. They are not the beautiful, delicate women with large butterfly wings who sit cross-legged on flower petals. The Irish fairies belong to a different world; Yeats quotes the "peasantry." They are "fallen angels who were not good enough to be saved, nor bad enough to be lost."
Fairies leave odd signs like mushroom rings and those careless or luckless enough to wander into their territory are often stolen away for years or sometimes never returned. The fairies must be appeased or they turn children into changelings or drive people mad. But in other stories, they punish wrong-doers and teach lessons to the vain.
What I find particularly interesting is in Yeat's introduction. Yeats does not directly treat the question of the veracity of these stories.
Instead, he explains that he punts on the question: "The reader will perhaps wonder that in all my notes I have not rationalised a singled hobgoblin. I seek for shelter in the words of Socrates." [from the Phaedrus, which he quotes at length]
The question is the exact site of an mythical occurrence of Artemis, Socrates:
"The wise are doubtful, and I should not be singular if, like them, I also doubted. I might have a rational explanation that Orithyia was playing with Pharmacia, when a northern gust carried her over the neighboring rocks; and this being the manner of her death, she was said to have been carried away from Boreas….And if he is skeptical about them, and would fain reduce them one after another to the rules of probability, this sort of crude philosophy will take up all his time. Now I have certainly not the time for such inquiries. Shall I tell you why? I must first know about myself…to be curious about that which is not my business, while I am still in ignorance about my own self, would be ridiculous….Therefore, I say farewell to all this; the common opinion is enough for me. For as I was saying, I want to know not about this, but about myself."
And Yeats says no more on the matter. Which to me is a version of the perspective that true or not, these are myths or stories meant to tell a lesson, meant to show us part of ourselves, part of truth.
Yeats is so willing to learn, tell and enjoy the tales of Irish countryside without much concern for specific verification–a perspective that I honestly find refreshing. As Socrates points out, that's not what it's about.
Myths are cultural stories that give shape to how we understand ourselves and our history; they are the geography of the cultural landscape–imparting values, presenting warnings and outlining a structure of what to expect from life and from other people. As Socrates said, he is interested in discovering the truth about himself and the myths help him do that.
Two prominent Christian writers in the twentieth century thought very highly of the importance of myth: J.R.R. Tolkien said to C.S. Lewis, Christianity is not a myth, but "the" myth. He said the Christian faith is an enunciation of the highest truth from which all stories derive their of insight. I think Lewis and Tolkien would agree that the faith is a way of life with meaning.
While materialists may balk at any/every myth, I find this misguided. There needn't be a massive conflict between acknowledging the atoms and rocks of the world and the meanings for us infused in them.
Returning to fairies, I agree with Yeats and Socrates that is more helpful to leave the status of the myth's veracity open, at least for the fairies, because true or untrue, they yield insight into human life and nature. And to understand our own little place in the world and our role within it is both demanding and necessary in order to see how to live our own lives well, how best to direct our choices. To use Aristotle's terms, myths are necessary for our flourishing, to help direct us towards our end-goal or telos.
What are your favorites myths or stories? Which did you grow up with? What values did they emphasize? Did stories affect your development?

The only snag, and one that has already seriously irked everyone in uniform all over again is the fact that the Ministry has attempted to define Rank Pay once again, and in that effort, effectively classified it as exclusive from Basic Pay (which, as per, previous definitions, is very much a part of Basic Pay). This has seriously aroused suspicions of more shocks for defence officers just lurking around the corner.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi personally asked the GoM to ensure the issue is resolved amicably before Diwali. But by all accounts only two of the four core demands (Lt Cols in PB-4 and reinstatement of pensionary benefits for PBORs) are by most accounts likely to me acceded to for now. So has a compromise of some sort been struck between the GoM and the three chiefs? Has the GoM decided to recommend just these two, since they're perceivably more emotive than the other two. That's unclear so far. But there's talk that the three Chiefs are pretty much unwilling to accept anything other than all four core demands met. What then? Will they quit? Will they quietly accept, after what has surely been a gruelling and tense time for their leadership? The way things have gone so far, it's hard to say at this point.
In the meanwhile, the ex-servicemen (ESM) community shot off a letter today to President Pratibha Patil appealing to her to intervene and get one-rank-one-pension and other veteran demands implemented through the Prime Minister immediately. From what I've heard, the demands of ex-servicemen are unlikely to be met at this time. Hopefully I'm wrong. Watch this space.

It will be a busy weekend for veteran driver Dan McKeage of Gorham.
On Friday night McKeage will run in a 75-lap race for PASS Sportsmen at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford.
On Saturday night he will switch cars to run in a 100-lap race in the Pro Series Division at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough.
"I like the longer races," said McKeage, who won a PASS Sportsman 75-lapper at Beech Ridge in May. "It seems like you get a little bit more time to have a game plan than the Saturday night stuff, which is more driving by the seat of your pants. We usually set up for the longer races, and we always try to have a plan going into each race."
After the first three races, McKeage is second behind Carey Martin of Denmark in the regional Sportsmen racing tour's eight-race series.
There are no points to be gained in Saturday night's Pro Series 100 at Beech Ridge because drivers each earn 50 points simply by starting the race, but McKeage, currently third in the racing division's standings, wants to rebound from ninth- and 10th-place finishes after winning earlier this month in the second race of the season.
"Ninth and 10th are not where we wanted to be," he said. "In the third race in, we got bounced around like a pinball and we bent some stuff on the car.
"We really didn't find all the issues until this week."
RAIN CONTINUES to play havoc with the PASS North and ACT racing schedules.
Lightning and hail in the area forced the postponement of the PASS North 150 for Super Late Models scheduled for last Sunday at Oxford Plains Speedway until July 12.
The event was added to the racing tour's schedule after rain forced the cancellation of 150-lap races at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., and Speedway 660 in Geary, New Brunswick, during the past month.
Rain forced the cancellation of ACT's 150-lap race for Late Models last Saturday night at White Mountain Motorsports Park. It has been rescheduled for July 13.
THE TRACK was dry enough last Sunday afternoon at Riverside Speedway at Groveton, N.H., for Joey Polewarczyk Jr. of Hudson, N.H., to roll to his second consecutive ACT win in eight days.
Polewarczyk, known as Joey Pole to racing fans, charged into the lead in the later stages of the 121-lap race, a resumption of a race halted by rain after 29 laps on June 2.
"This is a huge victory for us," he said. "To win one race on the ACT Tour is tough, but to win back-to-back is just what we needed to chase down this championship.
"It's good to be winning races again."
Polewarczyk will have to wait until July 6, when the regional tour for Late Models resumes at Star Speedway in Epping, N.H., to try to make it three wins in a row.
AUSTIN THERIAULT, a young driver from Fort Kent, continues to look impressive while racing as a Brad Keselowski Racing development driver in the PASS South series.
Last Sunday he collected his second victory on the regional tour by winning the Rumble In The Pines 150 at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, N.C.
Theriault won his first career pole and then dominated the second half of the race in his first visit to the .400-mile banked oval.
In four PASS South races this season, Theriault has two wins, three top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes.
Theriault will spend July 4 running in the World Crown 300 at Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, Ga.

|The high pH colloidal silver generator and lung delivery system!
Warranty - FAQ - Contact Us
Understanding pH
In simple terms, pH is a measure of the alkalinity or acidity of a substance such as fruit juice, baking soda, battery acid, drain cleaner, water, etc. For example, the pH levels for water refer to the concentration of Hydrogen ions (H+) measured against the other concentration of Hydroxyl ions (OH-). When water contains more Hydrogen ions than Hydroxyl ions, the water is considered acidic. When water contains more Hydroxyl ions than Hydrogen ions, the water is considered basic or alkaline. When there are an equal amount of Hydrogen ions and Hydroxyl ions, the water is considered neutral (pH 7.0).Acidity and alkalinity are primary factors to every form of chemistry in our world considering the products we create, the types of food we eat and particularly our health.
One of the most over-looked factors to our health and well-being are our personal pH levels and maintaining an optimal pH range for normal body chemistry and function.
A non-optimal diet based on processed foods, carbonated drinks, alcohol and many forms of carbohydrate-rich foods quickly push our pH levels into the acidic range which can potentially open the door for many biochemical malfunctions and overall health-related problems.
High pH Alkaline Water
One of the main features of The SilverLungs (pH) colloidal silver generator is the extremely high pH level produced in the final silver solution. Using safe and non-toxic silver ions as the electrolyte needed to offset such a high pH level and concentration, it is now possible to influence the body's alkalinity using an extremely small volume of total water rather than consuming a great deal of lower pH alkaline water.
There are many water alkalizing machines and high pH water brands on the market, yet most only provide average pH levels of 7.5 to 8.5. To keep the numbers simple, it takes 400 ounces of 8 pH water to equate to only 4 ounces of 10 pH water! How can this be? How can only a 25% increase in pH number equate to 100 times more alkalinity? How can 4 ounces of one water equate to the alkalinity of 400 ounces of another water? The pH measurement scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole number pH value above the previous is ten times more alkaline than the previous lower whole number value. This continues on with each whole number value increase. Again, the pH measurement scale is not linear but logarithmic. Thus, a pH level of 10 is (100 times) greater than a pH level of 8.0 and is not a 25% linear increase (i.e. 8.0 x 25% = 10.) Moving up the scale, a pH level of 11 is (1,000 times) greater than a pH of 8. This would be equivalent to 9 "drops" of 11 pH water equating to a full gallon of pH 8 water!
The SilverLungs (pH) colloidal silver generator is not only a professional class colloidal/ionic silver production system but also a high potency alkaline water production system requiring no maintenance nor replacements parts.
The SilverLungs (pH) colloidal silver generator will produce well over four thousand liters of high alkaline pure colloidal/ionic silver solution using the original set of pure silver electrodes creating a truly maintenance-free, one-time investment!
