March 31, 2012
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is proposing that the DREAM ACT be altered. The proposed DREAM ACT would provide certain undocumented children of alien workers with permanent residency and a pathway to citizenship. Rubio's apartheid-type bill would provide them with a "non citizen for life" status, like Sablan's un-American, un-democratic legislation for some of the foreign workers of the CNMI. Rubio proposes a DREAM Act that would grant youth a second or third class citizen status. They would be Americans in name, would pay taxes, serve in the military, but could not vote or sponsor their family members to come to the United States.
Of course, there are differences between the proposed bills. Sablan's bill would provide an un-American status for only those foreign workers with a U.S. citizen child or spouse or about 1/4 of the total long-term foreign workers. His is even more hateful than Rubio's proposal because it purposely excludes anyone who will not eventually be in line for status by virtue of having an immediate relative spouse or child. Under H.R. 1466, long-term foreign workers who lived and worked legally in the CNMI, on U.S. soil for 5, 10, 15, 20 or more years are excluded if they are not married to a U.S. citizen, do not have a U.S. citizen child, are gay, or are unmarried. Blatantly discriminatory.
Rubio's proposal may be a good thing for the foreign workers of the CNMI. Why? Because the Democrats and just-minded people are all over it for the cruel bill that it is. Rachel Maddow called Rubio's politically motivated bill, "The DREAM ACT without a dream". The New York Times published a similar sentiment in an editorial, "A Dream Act Without the Dream". Michael Keegan, president of People for the American Way, denounced Rubio's bill in the Huffington Post in an article entitled, "American Apartheid? The Republican Dream Scheme".
Keegan attacked Rubio's bill for what it is, a way to permanently oppress people on U.S. soil, an attempt to create division and establish a two-tiered society. He likened the scheme to apartheid, just as I called H.R. 1466 an apartheid-type bill. Keegan wrote:
They should take a lesson from history. I went to South Africa over 30 years ago, where the government created many different levels of citizenship as a means to keep an unjust system going in a modern world. In addition to "Whites," different categories of "Blacks," "Coloureds," and "Asians" for South Asians, South Africa had to create the category of "Honorary Whites" to accommodate the Japanese and Chinese. We should learn from the lessons of apartheid and the dangers of creating different levels of citizenship for different people.Rubio's bill is inciting outrage among Democrats and just-minded people across the nation. So should H.R. 1466. The American public deserves to know that every person except one (Alaska's Republican Rep. Don Young of Abramoff fame) who co-sponsored H.R. 1466, an apartheid-type bill, is a Democrat. Even more shocking is the fact most are members of the Hispanic, Asian Pacific American, Progressive and Black Caucuses! These 48 co-sponsors should be exposed so that the voters in their districts know that the members of Congress that they consider to be pro-immigrant may actually be hypocritical politicians who lack principle.
That system, thankfully, has fallen, and it has been rightfully judged an historical disgrace, but if today's Republican Party has considered history at all, they're not learning the right lessons. Instead of pushing towards more equality for all people, they've perfected a method of legalizing discrimination by inventing new classes of citizenship for those on whom they don't want to bestow full rights, creating a unique and disturbing American apartheid.
Sablan should read Rubio's bill and Keegan's article. Every co-sponsor of H.R. 1466 should do likewise, including Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Judy Chu (D-CA), Mike Honda (D-CA), Charles Rangel (D-NY), Nydia Valazquez (D-NY), Charles Gonzalez (D-TX), and the rest. Then they should look in the mirror and see Senator Rubio staring back at them. It is time that the Democrats either remove their names from H.R. 1466 or defend their hypocritical stance.
As Keegan said, "The real cruelty of this Republican proposal is that it seeks to take advantage of the desperation of some DREAM Act-eligible youth to avoid deportation. The Republican proposal offers them that in the short term, but at the price of second-class status for the rest of their lives. They deserve better."
Yes, they deserve better and so do the long-term foreign workers of the CNMI. They deserve freedom and permanent residency. All of them –not just ones that Sablan and supporting self-serving CNMI politicians and residents know will eventually qualify for it anyway. As Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu said, "I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights."
With all of the blatant, on-going discrimination against the foreign workers in the CNMI one would expect a statement of outrage and a demand for justice and reform from at least the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Since the foreign workers make up half or more of the population of the CNMI one has to question why the Asian Pacific American Caucus has ignored their plight. There has been a deafening silence from these members, except for their slap in the face co-sponsoring of H.R. 1466. They have not responded properly to the lack of status for the de facto citizens of the CNMI. They have not commented on the flawed CW program that could be ended by granting them all permanent residency. They have ignored the discrimination at the federally funded NAP Office. There have been no cries for justice concerning the unsolved murder of Emie Romero or the unsolved rape of a club worker. There has been no denunciation on the racial profiling, the threats to foreign workers by CNMI officials, or the illegal seizure of driver licenses from foreign workers. They have remained silent on the proposed discriminatory bill targeting foreign workers.
The APAC members do recognize the plight of the undocumented aliens in the U.S. mainland. They vocally oppose unjust state laws in Arizona, Alabama and other states, even participating in protests. So why are they ignoring the plight of tens of thousands of Asian workers in the CNMI? It will be very interesting to see what these members have to say about Rubio's bill. I am watching.

The Widget Effect
Our National Failure to Acknowledge and Act on Differences in Teacher Effectiveness
June 8, 2009
If teachers are so important, why do we treat them like widgets?
Effective teachers are the key to student success, yet our school systems treat all teachers as interchangeable parts, not professionals. Excellence goes unrecognized and poor performance goes unaddressed. This indifference to performance disrespects teachers and gambles with students' lives.
The Widget Effect is a wide-ranging report that studies teacher evaluation and dismissal in four states and 12 diverse districts and reflects survey responses from approximately 15,000 teachers and 1,300 administrators.
Key Findings:
All teachers are rated good or great. Less than 1 percent of teachers receive unsatisfactory ratings, making it impossible to identify truly exceptional teachers.
Professional development is inadequate. Almost 3 in 4 teachers did not receive any specific feedback on improving their performance in their last evaluation.
Novice teachers are neglected. Low expectations for beginning teachers translate into benign neglect in the classroom and a toothless tenure process.
- Poor performance goes unaddressed. Half of the districts studied have not dismissed a single tenured teacher for poor performance in the past five years.
The report gives policymakers and school leaders recommendations for acquiring better information about instructional quality to give great teachers the recognition they deserve.

jlewis44 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 112 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
To start, I am looking for a logo for my mortgage planning business to match the colors of my website. Using that logo, I need a business card which I would like to be read vertically (short edge on top and bottom, long edge on sides). I also need an MS Word letterhead template. I would like a template for my HTML newsletter. The last item I need is a matching branded 6x9 envelope.
Josh Lewis, Certified Mortgage Planner
Desired Color Scheme:
Grey and Lime Green (see website)
Desired Style:
Clean and professional
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
You can start by looking at my website which is currently under design at http://www.joshlewis.net.
I want to stick with the grey and lime green color scheme. I do like the logo using my initials and title but this was done by the web designer as a throw in with the site. I would like to upgrade it some and make it look a little more polished and professional.
My site should give you a good feel for what I like. In general squares with rounded edges more than real swoopy curved designs.
 For the HTML newsletter template I would like a header and footer with a left column for navigation. The content of the newsletter would fill the middle to right edge.
We use 6x9" envelopes exclusively at my office so I would like one to match the logo and card.
Regarding the MS Word letterhead; I never use printed letterhead. Most of my communications go out via email. I print the letter to .pdf and attach them to emails. I would like something that prints clean and looks good.
Good luck. I promise to provide plenty of guidance on the designs submitted.
This contest was originally listed in multiple categories:
- Logo Design
- Stationery Design

different country, different constitution.
Quebec's situation changed demographically and ideolgocially in the last 21 years. It is now demographically near impossible for Quebec to separate with its current make up.
+Justin's approval ratings in that province is high, including with Francophones
Curious on your thoughts. Especially since you believe a QC split referendum is more likely than before Trump won.

MONTGOMERY — Prosecutors in Alabama's gambling corruption trial brought out embarrassing racial comments by Republican state senators Thursday before defense attorneys had a chance to do it.
MONTGOMERY — Prosecutors in Alabama's gambling corruption trial brought out embarrassing racial comments by Republican state senators Thursday before defense attorneys had a chance to do it.
Prosecutor Kendall Day played a tape recording of a private strategy session of Republican senators that was recorded by Republican Sen. Scott Beason of Gardendale while helping the FBI investigate vote buying at the Statehouse.
In the tape, the GOP senators talk about how they need to defeat gambling legislation because it will go on the November 2010 ballot if they let it pass the Legislature. They said having the issue on the ballot would bring out more black voters, which would hurt Republican candidates' chances of getting elected.
"Every black in this state will be bused to the polls," one senator said.
"They are going to be bused on HUD-financed buses," another replied.
"That's right. That's right," a third senator said.
"It's pretty hateful stuff, isn't it?" the prosecutor asked casino developer Ronnie Gilley, who was on the witness stand.
"It's nauseating," Gilley replied.
Day did not identify who made each comment, but he said senators in the meeting were Beason, Ben Brooks, Larry Dixon, Jabo Waggoner, Rusty Glover and Paul Sanford.
The bill did not go on the November 2010 ballot and Republicans won control of the Legislature for the first time in 136 years.
Defense attorneys used a similar tape from a different meeting to discredit Beason's testimony in Alabama's first gambling corruption trial last summer. That trial ended with two defendants acquitted, none convicted, and six returning for a second trial on unresolved charges.
After the first trial, the trial judge ruled Beason had political and racial reasons for helping the FBI. Prosecutors don't plan to call Beason as a witness in this trial and sought to get the embarrassing comments out of the way before the defense could raise them.
Gilley, who has pleaded guilty to offering bribes to legislators for their votes for pro-gambling legislation, spent all day Thursday on the witness stand and will be back Friday.
He testified that his Country Crossing casino in Dothan took in $18 million in its three-day opening weekend in December 2009, but he was having severe financial problems after a state crackdown on electronic bingo games forced him to close in January 2010. Gilley said he made illegal promises to Sen. Harri Anne Smith and former Sens. Larry Means and Jim Preuitt to get their votes for legislation designed to reopen casinos.
If the bill failed, "it would have been the end of my project and many more within the state of Alabama," he said.
Gilley said he was pushing the legislation with Milton McGregor, owner of the closed VictoryLand casino in Shorter, and much of the money for keeping the promises would come from $14 million McGregor loaned him.
Gilley's casino was in the southeast Alabama district represented by Smith, I-Slocomb. Gilley said she initially opposed the project, but her attitude changed after he gave his lobbyist, Jarrod Massey, $40,000 to funnel to her 2008 congressional campaign through donors not associated with gambling.
"Senator Smith came by my office and hugged my neck and said, 'I'm yours. Whatever you need, it's done,"' Gilley testified.
Smith didn't win the congressional seat, but Gilley said he was more generous with her successful re-election campaign for the Senate in 2010, including organizing a fundraiser with country singers Lorrie Morgan and John Anderson and donating $200,000 that he hid at Smith's direction by funneling it through political action committees. He said that in return she worked to pick up votes from other senators.
Massey, like Gilley, has pleaded guilty to offering bribes.
Smith, Preuitt, Means and McGregor are on trial in federal court with VictoryLand lobbyist Tom Coker and Country Crossing spokesman Jay Walker. They face bribery and conspiracy charges accusing them of buying and selling votes.
Gilley said Massey told him that Means, D-Attalla, wanted $100,000 in campaign contributions for his vote, and he told Massey, "He can 100 percent count on our support."
Gilley said Preuitt, R-Talladega, was the last vote they needed to pass the legislation. He said that working with Massey and Walker, they offered Preuitt a fundraising concert by country music stars and other campaign support, including free polling, to get his vote. He said he also offered to bring his business associate, country singer George Jones, to Preuitt's Ford dealership to buy a truck.
Gilley said he told Preuitt in a phone call: "We are going to support those who believe in democracy." Gilley testified that he used those words "to keep from saying if you vote yes on this bill, we will give you $500,000" or some other amount.
Preuitt, Means and Smith voted for the bill when it passed the Senate on March 30, 2010, with the minimum number of votes needed, but it died in the House.
Preuitt dropped his re-election campaign in 2010, Means lost, and Smith won while under indictment.

LAKE MARY, Fla. (AP) — The investigation of a domestic dispute between George Zimmerman and his estranged wife is on hold because there is no compelling evidence and neither one of the couple wants to press charges, a police spokesman said Wednesday.
That could change if new evidence surfaces or technicians are able to extract video that recorded the dispute from Shellie Zimmerman's smashed iPad, said Officer Zach Hudson.
Law enforcement analysts are having difficulty extracting the video because the iPad is in bad shape, he said.
"We have concluded the investigation with what we have to work with right now," Hudson said.
The dispute took place Monday, just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers. In the papers, Zimmerman, 26, said she had separated from her husband a month after he was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin.
A police report on the dispute released Wednesday shed some light on how it started.
Shellie Zimmerman, accompanied by her father and a friend, was removing some belongings from the couple's house when George Zimmerman, who still lives there, arrived and began taking photos of her, the report said. The house is owned by Shellie Zimmerman's parents.
George Zimmerman recorded the items she removed from the house and also the belongings she had placed in her father's truck, the report said.
Zimmerman said his wife was "taking property that was not agreed upon and he began taking pictures and recording the items," the report said.
Shellie Zimmerman then took her iPad and started recording her husband taking photos of her, authorities said. George Zimmerman went in the house and locked the front door.
What happened next is in dispute.
Shellie Zimmerman told investigators she heard her father screaming from the garage. Her father, David Dean, told her that Zimmerman had hit him in the face, the report said. She said her husband then smashed her iPad.
During a 911 call, she also told police that George Zimmerman was threatening her and her father with a gun. Later, however, she said she had not seen any gun. Police said they found no gun, but that Shellie Zimmerman's father "did have a swollen red mark on the bridge of his nose."
George Zimmerman told investigators that his wife had told him she was done picking up her belongings. He said he locked the front door and went to the garage to close it when Shellie Zimmerman's father confronted him, according to the report.
Shellie Zimmerman's father threw down his glasses and charged his son-in-law, according to George Zimmerman's account. Shellie Zimmerman at some point hit her husband with her iPad, George Zimmerman told investigators.
Police officers asked George Zimmerman to remove his shirt so they could see if there were marks on his back. "There were no signs of trauma, redness or marks of any kind in the area where he said he was struck," the report said.
As many as seven people were at the house — friends of the Zimmermans — and they all have been questioned by investigators, Hudson said. The friends said they didn't see what happened and footage from the house's surveillance cameras was inconclusive, Hudson added.
Both sides are refusing to press charges, but Florida law allows police officers to arrest someone for domestic violence without the consent of the victim.
Investigators are hoping video from the iPad will allow them to determine if charges should be filed.
Hudson told a news conference Wednesday that law enforcement analysts are having difficulty extracting the video because the iPad is in bad shape.
He said because investigators don't currently have the necessary tools to extract the video, it could be several weeks or months before the video can be analyzed — and even then they aren't making any promises. The iPad's chip also suffered some damage, Hudson said.
Without an examination of the video, he said he doesn't expect there to be imminent charges against either person.
Lake Mary is about seven miles southwest of Sanford, where George Zimmerman, 29, fatally shot Martin during a fight in a gated community in February 2012. Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, was acquitted in July of all charges in the shooting.
Zimmerman said he acted in self-defense when he shot the 17-year-old Martin. He wasn't charged until 44 days after the shooting, leading to protests nationwide from people who believed he should have been immediately arrested.
The case sparked accusations that Zimmerman had racially profiled Martin and demonstrations broke out again after his acquittal. Federal authorities are now reviewing the case the see if Martin's civil rights were violated.
On Tuesday, police released a dash cam video showing George Zimmerman being handcuffed after the domestic dispute with his wife. In the video, officers ordered Zimmerman to put his hands up and drop to his knees. One officer approaches with his gun drawn while another handcuffs Zimmerman.
Mark O'Mara, who represented George Zimmerman in his murder trial, said on Monday that his client did nothing wrong and the dispute was typical for a couple going through a divorce. On Tuesday, O'Mara said he was not going to represent George Zimmerman in this matter.
"I've come to know them as a family, and it's not a good idea to get in between them," O'Mara said.

Mammoth settles $43 million with MLLA; details vague
The Town of Mammoth Lakes on Tuesday reached a settlement agreement with Mammoth Lakes Land Acquisition over the town's $43 million judgment, according to Assistant Town Manager Marianna Marysheva-Martinez.
Both sides made the announcement jointly.
The terms of the agreement remain vague but clearly a bridge has been crossed, said longtime Town Councilmember Rick Wood, an attorney.
"I'm pleased the parties have come to terms," he said in an interview, "and I'm looking forward to moving forward. This provides a nearly unique opportunity to re-focus and direct our energy toward improving the quality of our lives and help us to be economically sustainable."
For a look at the main players in the case, back to 1997, click here
Our Editorial: The Settlement
Marysheva-Martinez said the terms of the agreement would remain under wraps until all the parties associated with the town's fiscal situation are resolved. There are, Wood said, dozens—perhaps hundreds—of creditors whose cases against the town remain unresolved. There remain, he said, many details in the final settlement overall, and that is why Mammoth remains floating in the current of bankruptcy proceedings.
Mayor Matthew Lehman said the agreement was not a done deal yet, however.
"Without getting into details, there are pros and cons for both sides," he said. "But, overall, I think we're moving in the right direction. I am cautiously optimistic."
Both Wood and Lehman emphasized that the settlement is, technically, an "agreement to agree" and that it is not set in stone quite yet.
The main thrust, however, is that the long legal saga with MLLA, which began in 1997, is over.
"The parties, guided by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Perris, a talented and trustworthy mediator, have worked diligently since Aug. 6 to reach an agreement on the amount and terms, and signed a term sheet containing the settlement's key points," Marysheva-Martinez said.
"The settlement agreement, including any and all terms, will remain confidential until it is fully documented and executed."
She said in the press release details of what the town actually has to pay, and on what schedule, depends on how the town intends to finance the payment.
Town Manager Dave Wilbrecht, speaking last July 4, said one possibility is that the town would turn to the bond market to come up with the money, then negotiate with the bond holder the terms of the payments.
In the press release issued Tuesday evening, Marysheva-Martinez also sounded a note of caution.
"The Town will provide additional information to the public as soon as the settlement documentation is finalized and filed for court approval, which is expected within weeks," Marysheva-Martinez said.
"At that time, public meetings will commence to discuss how to finance the settlement."
"While steps are taken to document and seek approval of the settlement, all discovery and litigation among the parties will be put on hold," she said.
"At the same time, some key deadlines established by the U.S. bankruptcy court will remain, including a deadline to file objections to the town's eligibility by entities not party to the settlement.
Mammoth went to court with developer Terry Ballas in 1997 after Ballas charged the town breached its contract with him for a condominium-hotel complex at the airport.
The town disagreed, but lost its case in Superior Court in Bridgeport, where a jury awarded Ballas $30 million.
Ballas and a new company, Mammoth Lakes Land Acquisition, withstood a challenge by the town in the California Appeals panel. Finally, in March 2011, the Supreme Court of California refused to hear the case.
By that time, the $30 million judgment grew to $43 million because of legal fees, and MLLA rejected the town's request for mediation six times.
The town declared its intent to file for municipal bankruptcy protection on July 2.

I adore this illustration. She seems determined and I love the energy, too! I understand that energy.
Bella, I knew I loved you for many reasons, but now I know that you and I are one in our addiction of these delicious treats! OMG! I no longer buy them, since I will eat the whole box! So I just stand in the supermarket aisle, just drooling, they often call one of the guys to mop up after me! Lol! Now my husband will have to hide the car keys, since I've seen them on your blog! It is baked "crack"! Lol! lol!

Hi Bella,
So sweet and love this gorgeous illustration of the pretty little girlie and the layers of the artichoke.
Do you know we don't get Ding Dongs here and I feel like I am missing out.
I always think Don King looks like he has had an electric shock.
Hope all is well with you and have a lovely week
- February 21, 2011 at 6:34 PM
- Arija said...
Lucky you with purple artichokes and ding-a-lings . . .
Whatever it is is a greedy piggy to just take one bite out of the ding dongs so he gets the whole packet and can come out when no-one is looking and gather all the leftovers.
Your drawings are a constant joy to me.

ohhhhhh, very creative Bella! I love your take on Layer. I never had Ding Dongs, I liked frozen twinkies and the little swiss cake rolls, I can't remember what they are even called. I haven't had one of those since I was like 10 years old.
- February 21, 2011 at 7:42 PM
- The Original Drama Mama said...
That looks like me...30 years ago! (the red head, not the thing in the artichoke, though some days...)
I love this, the sense of something creepy and mysterious, won over by creamy filling.
I'm trying to think of a sweet treat hidden in my lunch that brought sounds of delight...I think Lil Debbie Nutter Butters...if I end up buying them next time i am in the store I know who to blame!!! :)
- February 21, 2011 at 7:48 PM
- Mandy said...
I don't know Bella, I'd prefer Ding Dongs to artichokes! When I was pregnant with our oldest daughter, I'd stop by the store on Friday's to pick up a box. They wouldn't last the weekend! It's been ages since the last one though! Lovely art today too!

Ma chère Bella, I love les artichauts!!! et chez moi, en France, la région des artichauts c'est la Bretagne. Ils y sont beaux et gros. D'autres vous diront que les meilleurs sont les petits violets du sud de la France qui se dégustent même cru.
Dans la peinture que j'ai publiée le 30 octobre sur mon blog, j'ai peint des artichauts. C'était un petit clin d'oeil pour ma fille Fauve, qui attendait un bébé. Le papa est un garçon de Bretagne, un breton!
Je ne sais pas qui se cache dans ce bel artichaut, mais je sens que Bella pourrait être cette personne! apprenant que votre gourmandise pour ces sucrerie!
Votre dessin est aussi doux que vos douceurs...
Gros bisous

My dear Bella, I love artichokes! and at home, in France, the region is Brittany artichokes. They are beautiful and big. Others will tell you that the best are the little purple in the south of France that can be enjoyed even thought.
In the painting I posted Oct. 30 on my blog, I painted artichokes. It was a small wink for my daughter Fawn, who was expecting a baby. Dad is a boy from Brittany, a Breton!
I do not know who is hiding in this beautiful artichoke, but I feel that Bella could be that person! learning that your appetite for these sweets!
Your design is as soft as your sweet ...

Ha ha! I love Ding Dongs! Almost as much as I love your little girls. I don't know what she found in the artichoke, but it seems to be friendly, eh?

Ha ha ha, ding gongs, king Dons, Don King. What a great word chain.
Who ever may be in this artichoke, is very sympathetic to me. I confess I am a chocoholic.
"Hi My name is Janine, I am a chocoholic"- "Hi, Janine!"
I do not know the ding-king-dons but I love littecakes, especially when they are wrapped in foil,Ahhhh.
I love your illustartion (what else!)
Have a great week

- Anne Huskey-Lockard said...
Mmmmmmm......artichokes and Ding Dongs! My heart skipped a beat!
Well, I love both, what can I say?
A beautiful and well executed artichoke...I grew them one year (our climate is not what they need) and it was the most glorious garden! The plants are as amazing as the flower!
Now that you have stabbed my morning brain with the thought of chocolate, you know that is not going away soon.....I may have to bake.... ;-) It is far too icy to run to town and get a box of the afore mentioned treats. ;-D
P.S. Hilarious that you added Don King--I always associate his name with the cakes.....can't help it; too close in wordplay
- February 22, 2011 at 5:10 AM
- Amalia K said...
You know, Ding Dongs could be a great follow up after artichokes, but Don King belongs absolutely NOWHERE before, after or in between those two! Regardless how much money he owns. (^__^)
Anyway, I love your perfectly layered artichoke. Prettiest I've ever seen. *Thumbs up*

What a unique take on the topic for this week. I love your illustrating style. And the sweet explorer in the painting is adorable. May I ask what medium you created it with?
I haven't had a ding dong in decades but I loved them too. The foil wrap was a big part of it.

We just had artichoke fritatas last night. Now I could go for a Ding Dong about now... mmmmm. Loved those things. My mom wouldn't let us have them, so I had to get mine off a dealer around the corner. They cost a little more...but he "sweetened" the deal with a Twinkie once in a while... just to keep me coming back. That was a long time ago...I've been Ding Dong clean for 26 1/2 years now.................

..... just fell off the wagon.... oooops.... but it was so good :o) I don't know why I still had my dealer's number in my wallet :o) Anyway Bella! I love your sweet illustration. That artichoke is phenomenal and your little characters are simply...the best!!! I love the way your brain works....:o)

Love it when you post new art.
I do remember ding dongs and have indulged quite recently.
My fingernail has flattened many a wrapper. Usually gum, tho.

Bella - your mind is an amazing place. I should know, I've been clog dancing in there for weeks now! What a lovely drawing. :) And then I saw...DING DONGS! Can I tell you that when I go grocery shopping I stop in front of them and have an internal dialog. Sometimes I tell myself to buy them so that my (now huge teens) can experience their loveliness, knowing full well I will eat the entire box by myself. Mmmmmm...DING DONGS. Childhood in a silver wrapper. :)) xox Pam

As a Canadian, I wonder why we call them King Dons?? That's just wrong.
My thing (growing up in Boston, were Devil Dogs!!) You could never get me to eat one today though. Yuck, they've changed. And so have I, thankfully.
Don King cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh :)

Yes! Yes! Just one of the reasons why I love Bella Sinclair. The other is because I "just got my purple glasses to support justin bieber". Hahahahaha!!! Oh wait, was it "just got my purple artichoke to support lady gaga".

Have you ever noticed how many times the words love, loved, and lovely are used in your comments? Wow, kinda makes my head spin.
You don't see those words used much in the guy blogs; they use words like rockin, kickass, bitchen, sick, etc,
-but this love thing is all good, because I like coming here and experiencing all the warmth.
Don't tell my guy friends I do it, though, they'd excommunicate me.

MERCY!!! MERCY!!! Please have MERCY!!! Oh my goodness... I have to pull myself together. I was eating a bowl of soup while looking at your post and got it all over my screen with laughter! OH MY GOODNESS. You take the dang cake girly. I mean really. Got to be pretty dang talented to put all they of these things together in a post. I love the layer illustration. She looks so innocent like arty wouldn't try to eat her. I still don't know how to eat one. Hope you had good dinner.
Now about these Ding Dongs. This is the first time I have ever seen these. We called them Yankee Doodles and Ho Ho's. Still I'd like to know who are the people who sit around and make up the names for this deliciousness??? Back here in Jersey Ding Dong means something totally different.........................crickets............ um
As I was saying, Don King looks like a complete nut!
He looks a lot better then Favor Fav though. If Weight Watches was smart they would use them for their new Ugly Programs. Just places a pictures of Favor and Don on all your sneaky treats and watch your appetite disappear. NASTY!! he he he he he he!
Oh I have the best visit here today. Thanks for making my day. I love you girl. Planning a trip to your area soon. I will let you know.
Love you

Good morning!

Oh Last night I read your comment at Shirley's about the thousand leafs. You called it Napoleons, only then, I remembered that we had it at that fancy tea house in New York by NYU! Wow! That was very good but the next time you are in NYC, in case you have a hankering for tea, don't go to that tea house. I think the Plaza Hotel serves tea and it's a much better ambiance and guess what!!!??? They serve Hazelnut Napoleons!!! WHAAAAAAAAA!!! The next time we are in NYC at the same time, will you please join me for afternoon tea at the Palm Court? Oh yes! and we should have Vee, of course!!!

Hi Bella. I'm finally upright after being knocked down by the flu but just wanted to say how nice it was to read of your LOVE of Napoleons! And I don't know how you could've standed it standing next to a pastry counter all day long. I hear someone is sending their hubby and son out for some ding dongs and ho hos this morning...see what you started?! : )

WHOOOA! I love it when I get out of the shower and I see Bella Sinclair, again and again and again!!!
Oh yeah! I sent my husband out for some dingdongs and hohos but I hear he is coming home with a huge meat!
Honestly, he and the boys are having a beef jerky project and somehow I get pulled into the project and asked to do the dirty work, just because I have the sharpest knives!!!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAHHHAAAAAA I'm fallin' down again crackin' up this time. Thank you for that, Bella. Oh my, I will not look at a ding dong, or ho ho the same again. You are so funny.

The DingDongs are a great disappointmen in terms of packaging. They now come in white plastic pouches, not foil. However, it is still 9 grams of fat and 5 milligrams of cholesterol per cake. I know, I could test something healthier but I had to find out. Oh the things I do for you! Only for you will I eat a DingDong. Oh yum, not bad!

Oh I just realised there was a symbollist, subconscious message in this one and that you are playing with our minds, trying to take us back to cave man days, where it was just man against raw nature, where it was a bird eat flower world, a world without cats and dogs - or Gros Lis tomatoe plants.
Anyway, stop being restful and hit us with another master pice.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season just as much as I am and getting all of your gift shopping done! If you haven't started yet, then you better get it together because Christmas will be here before you know it. If you have all of your goodies picked out and wrapped nicely under the tree, then you are probably on to the stocking stuffers and who wouldn't want to pull a sexy little bikini out of their stocking on Christmas morning? We have just a few ideas on some sexy swimwear styles that are the perfect gift for that fashionable lady on your list this year.
I am a huge fan of the solid bikini and this is your best bet when buying for someone who is very particular. I don't know any girl who doesn't have at least one solid bikini in their luxury swimwear collection and you can never have too many! The Rich Girl Bikini is one of my favorite styles from the Lady Lux 2014 collection because it is a solid swimsuit, but with a little something extra. The gold and rhinestone hardware on this sexy bikini gives is a very luxurious look, fit for a celebrity! The best part about this trendy bikini? It comes in Navy, Mint, Black, and White so there is a perfect color for just about anyone.
Want to give a gift that is a little bit on the wild side, but definitely something she will wear? Then an animal print swimsuit is no doubt the way to go. The Desert Rose and Irresistible Bikinis are both from the 2014 collection and have some luxurious snake prints that are far from tame. The Irresistible bikini is perfect for a girl who likes a classic look, but wants to be in style. The Desert Rose is just the right pick for a girl with boho chic style and great taste. You can't say we didn't warn you that Christmas is right around the corner and you have plenty of gift options at the Lady Lux online boutique!

Member for 10 years 30 weeks
I have a container of sweet white miso paste in my refrigerator. Can it be used in other dishes besides soups and stir-fry? Any suggestions or recipes welcome!Read More
I've been cooking Korean dishes for a few years now but still have some confusion about the different soy sauces used. Some recipes call for soy sauce for "soup" while others do not specify a type. Also, some recipes say that fish sauce can be a substitute for the soup soy sauce. So my question is are the different types of soy sauce interchangeable with each other and/or fish sauce, and what makes this soy sauce for soup different? Are there different types of soy sauce like this used in other cuisines as well? Thanks!Read More
hi, what's the best brand of gochujang to use for making ddukbokee? i like mine to be spicy but not burning hot spicy. also what's the best dwenjang paste to use for soups? thanks!Read More

"When it was introduced in the late 1990s, politicians and patients' rights groups were told that the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient, was intended to relieve suffering in the last hours – days at most – of terminal illness. It allows the refusal or withdrawal of food and hydration as well as the suspension of anything but comfort care and the administering of sedatives that can hasten death. In cases where a patient is so close to death that his organs are failing, fluids cannot be processed and ethicists agree that sedatives to ease pain and distress are warranted.Since then, however, the LCP has come under increasing criticism as stories continue to emerge of the protocol being used to dehydrate and starve to death vulnerable patients who would otherwise recover and live if given proper care and treatment. In most cases that come to light, families and patients are not told by hospital staff that the LCP has been initiated."

Good afternoon folks.
I don't like going this long without posting for you, but have been away. I drove to Ohio Sunday to visit my father, but the visit was unfortunately extended for a funeral.
Everybody loves their father for their own reasons and I am no different. There are some I can't share and others I do so openly and proudly.
The most important was his love for his family and the moral principles he lived by, but another was his love for baseball, which he gave to my brother, George, and myself.
Among my earliest and fondest is he coached both our Little League teams. It was here where I learned sportsmanship and Little League baseball is to learn the game and have fun.
His belief was if you showed up for practice you would play regardless of how good you were. The games were seven innings and everybody played at least three. If for some reason you didn't play three, you automatically started the next game.
The emphasis was enjoyment of the sport, not winning, and definitely not learning at a young age one had limited talent. There would be plenty of time for that in high school sports. There would be plenty of opportunities for life to disappoint and he didn't believe Little League baseball should be one of them.
Where our league's boundaries ended at the town line, today there's a Little League World Series that is not only televised, but extends to foreign shores.
We went for ice cream after the games, win or lose. I grew up and played at a time when there were not even sponsors from local businesses, let alone corporate advertisers and television commercials. It was a time when the game had its natural disappointments, like committing an error or striking out and ten year-old kids don't need cameras stuck in their faces.
It was a simpler time, one when I wasn't exposed to the more negative and disturbing aspects of sports.
It is almost cliché to mention it, but the best times were playing catch and him hitting me grounders and fly balls in the front yard. We never shot baskets or tossed a football. It was always baseball.
Growing up, there was no such thing as cable and we only had four channels. We'd sometimes watch "The Game of the Week'' and almost always the Indians.
Those were bad Indians teams that featured Rocky Colavito, Sam McDowell, Sonny Siebert and Max Alvis. I remember the first game he took me to, won, 5-0, over the Orioles. Years later, when I covered the Orioles, they had every box score in franchise history so I copied that game's and sent it to him.
My dad took me to a lot of games at old Cleveland Stadium, and when I briefly covered the Indians for a small local paper after college, I was glad when I got to take him.
One of the best perks of the job was getting to take him to spring training and buy him World Series tickets when the Indians finally made it. Too bad he never got to see them win it all. Would have been nice.
My dad grew up a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, and when I covered the Orioles, former Dodgers pitcher Rex Barney was the PA announcer and I brought him up to the press box after a game to introduce them. When I came back to the press box nearly an hour later after working the clubhouse, I was happy to see Barney still talking to him.
The Dodgers were his team and he told me about Ebbets Field and Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson and Carl Furillo. Our family has roots in New York and New Jersey and we'd visit every summer after Little League season and he'd take me to Yankee and Shea Stadiums.
One year, he insisted we see the Mets against the Dodgers to watch this guy pitch. During my first spring covering the Mets, I got to meet the pitcher. I introduced myself and told him I didn't want to interview him – although I did – as much as I wanted to tell him how my father thought it was important I see him pitch.
Then Sandy Koufax asked me what game it was and when I sheepishly told him the Mets ripped him, 10-4, he said he remembered.
Like all fathers and sons, we had our rocky moments, but whatever they were, we always were able to talk about baseball. And, many of our later conversations were about baseball and the Indians.
My dad was 85 and was ill on and off for his last ten years. He was a shut-in and derived much of his pleasure watching the Indians and baseball, often with my sister, Anne.
Baseball was a passion and there are millions like him who feel the same way he did about the sport. This is something I wish the owners of the sport realized about its fans; that people love and cherish the traditions and simplicity of the game. I wish they understood this before they tinker and attempt to change the sport.
My dad taught me a lot of things, but I will always be grateful to him for giving me his love and appreciation of baseball.
I will forever love and miss him, and sure I will never watch another baseball game the same way.
Thanks, Dad.

Maybe it's time to reconsider Pinterest for your business right now. If you want do so, follow the step-by-step lesson from Jeff Bullas, useful. [note Martin Gysler]
Pinterest is booming. The site grew to 26.7 million unique visitors last month. This rapid growth has drawn businesses, especially retailers, to expand their presence on the site. Pinterest has just announced Pinterest pages for business.
My, those folks over at Pinterest have been busy! In the space of a few short weeks, users have been surprised by 3 new rollouts – verification of Pinterest accounts, the introduction of secret boards and now, the ability to create business pages.
So what does this new update mean for business owners? After all, it was not too long ago that Pinterest was warning us about self-promotion and commercial usage was downright prohibited.
Nevertheless, thousands of businesses have flocked to Pinterest since its inception in 2009 to create accounts and drive brand awareness in the hope of boosting sales.

A recent trip to Florida placed me on Interstate 95 where numerous citrus centers offered in–season Valencia oranges and Vidalia onions for purchase. With prices and supplies good, I bought several bags of each with plans to make marmalade.
The oranges were juicy, thin-skinned and contained minimal seeds, making them ideal for my purpose. And the onions, as anticipated, were sweet and packed with flavor.
Besides the oranges and the onions little else is needed to make marmalade. Most of us will have all the ingredients we need already in the house.
Orange marmalade, for instance, consists of nothing more than fruit, water and sugar. You don't even need extra pectin (the substance that causes gel formation) for making orange marmalade, because there's plenty of natural pectin already in the peel.
Marmalades are easy to prepare and are a key ingredient in many other recipes for marinades, glazes and sauces. If you are one of those people who think they don't like orange marmalade, I'll hope you'll try this recipe.
Commercially prepared marmalades can be bitter and a ghastly off-color. They are expensive, too. An encounter with bad orange marmalade can seriously put a person off, but a good marmalade will transform a marmalade-hater into a marmalade-eater (and maker), for life.

Valencia Oranges Marmalade
4 medium (or 3 large) Valencia oranges
1 large lemon
4 cups sugar
1 quart water
Wash fruit, then cut into quarters and remove seeds. Cut fruit again into chunks of equal size. Place fruit and ½ cup of water into the work bowl of a food processor and process until the fruit is chopped into small bite-size pieces. Place fruit mixture and the remaining 3½ cups of water into a large non-reactive saucepot. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, cover, and allow to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. The next day, bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat and cook until the citrus is tender, about 1 hour. (Be sure to stir mixture occasionally to prevent scorching.) Once citrus is tender, add sugar, in ½ cup increments, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Turn heat up to medium and allow mixture to boil and thicken to the consistency of jam, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove pan from heat and cool slightly before pouring into sterilized jars. When marmalade reaches room temperature, close jars with lids and refrigerate for up to 2 months. Makes about 2 pints.
Orange Dipping Sauce or Glaze
¾ cup homemade orange marmalade
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon coarse-grain mustard, more or less to taste
Tabasco Green Pepper Hot Sauce
Place marmalade, orange juice, lemon juice, honey and mustard ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer, on low, until mixture bubbles. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat, adding hot sauce, as desired. If using sauce as a glaze, brush glaze on desired food during the last 10 minutes of cooking time. (Do not keep glaze that has been in contact with the juices of raw meats or fish.) Leftover glaze that has not been in contact with raw meats or fish may be stored covered in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Makes about 1 cup.
Vidalia Onion-Roasted Garlic Marmalade
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium (or 3 large) Vidalia (sweet) onions, peeled and sliced very thin
½ cup homemade orange marmalade
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup light brown sugar
½ cup dark balsamic vinegar
2 roasted garlic cloves, mashed to a paste (recipe follows)
Salt and fresh ground pepper
Heat the oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat, then add onions. Stirring occasionally, cook onions, covered, until they soften and become translucent, 20 to 25 minutes. Stirring constantly, add, marmalade, orange juice, sugar and vinegar. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture becomes bubbly, stirring frequently. Lower heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until mixture becomes as syrupy and thick as honey, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. At this point, add 2 mashed roasted garlic cloves to the onion mixture and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly before spooning into sterilized jars. When mixture reaches cool room temperature close jars with lids and refrigerate for up to 1 month. Makes about 1 pint.
Roasted Fresh Garlic
Whole heads of fresh garlic (in any quantity desired)
Olive Oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove loose paper-like skin from around garlic heads. Slice off tops of garlic, just enough to expose the garlic cloves. Place heads, in a single layer, in a small baking pan. Drizzle heads with olive oil, allowing oil to seep down between the individual cloves of garlic. (Garlic heads should be well coated with oil, but not overly saturated.) Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, or until garlic becomes caramelized and feels soft when pressed. Allow roasted garlic to cool enough to handle, then squeeze garlic from their skins. Once all the garlic is removed from the skin, mash with the flat end of a knife, or fork. Store roasted garlic in a tightly covered container, in the refrigerator, for up to two weeks. Freeze roasted garlic paste, for up to 3 months, in small portions, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap; place packets into a heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw before using, or drop frozen directly into soups and stews.
Kitchen Ade note: Each garlic head holds approximately 10 cloves of garlic. Roasted, each garlic head will yield about one 1 tablespoon of garlic purée.

Investment Banking/M&A: currently 2224 jobs.The latest job was posted on 22 Mar 19.
Investment Banking Jobs
In this section you will find all mergers and acquisitions jobs offered by eFinancialCareers in the financial services industry.
Jobs in mergers and acquisitions are available in a range of institutions, usually depending on the size of the deals in question.
M&A in the large investment banks typically involve deals with a value greater than £50 million, while advisory boutiques and consultancy firms, including the Big Four, will usually involve deals of lower values.
Career Progression in Mergers and Acquisitions Jobs
It is usual for investment banking jobs to focus on a particular industry sector. This could be an area such as oil and gas, technology, media or could be financials themselves. Most individuals will remain in sector for at least the first six years, where a very direct career path is still evident.
New recruits start out as investment analysts. A junior analyst will be responsible for preparing spreadsheets, collating investment information and identifying target companies for acquisition.
During the three years in this role, an investment analyst will become responsible for developing the pitch books used to communicate the project to the client before moving on to become an associate for a further three years.
The associate would still cover the same role as the investment analyst, but would have more transactional and project management responsibility within their role and have a team of investment analysts working underneath them.
When the relevant time has passed, the role of Vice President may open up, before moving to Director and Managing Director in turn.
These roles are much more client focused, requiring a significant amount of time identifying potential new clients and cultivating existing relationships. And increasingly senior M&A bankers are also advising on a broad range of other banking products, making this a role for those with only the most extensive financial experience.
