Question: I had a unique set of circumstances occur this weekend. I was fishing at our local lake and had placed my license on when I departed from the dock. I caught a few fish and had one catfish on the stringer. About mid-morning when I was removing a jacket I noticed my license was gone. I panicked and went back to all the spots I had fished looking for my license. No luck. So here I sat in a boat, with fish and no license. What should I have done?
-- Ken B.
Answer: Unfortunately, if you no longer had a valid fishing license in your possession, then it was not legal for you to continue fishing. You should have released any live fish you had in possession and stopped fishing as soon as you realized you no longer had a fishing license. Assuming fishing licenses were sold at the lake, you could have purchased a one-day license in order to continue fishing. If you still had the receipt for your license, you could have obtained a duplicate license at a DFG licensing agent.
Although it wouldn't have helped you then, the fishing license display law will change on March 1. You will no longer be required to display your license, and you'll probably find it to be much more secure in your wallet.
Q: I hunt exclusively at a private licensed pheasant club and do not hunt anywhere else outside the property. Do I still need an Upland Game Bird Stamp?

-- Jim H., Sacramento
A: Yes. According to Game Warden Patrick Foy, the requirements for an Upland Game Bird Stamp do not differentiate between private licensed pheasant clubs and other areas of the state. Everyone who hunts pheasants (or any other upland game bird listed under the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 313) must have an Upland Game Bird Stamp affixed to their license.
In addition, when hunting on a private licensed pheasant club, you must have a Shooting Permit issued by the game bird club licensee.
Every hunter who hunts domestically reared game birds on a licensed game bird club is required to have a valid hunting license in possession, a valid upland game bird stamp and a valid game bird club shooting permit issued by the licensee or an agent authorized by the licensee. The shooting permit must include the hunter's name, hunting license number, and date(s) permit is valid (CCR Title 14, Section 600 (A)(4) ).
Q: I enjoy surf fishing and would like to collect some saltwater worms to use as bait. Are there any restrictions I need to know about? Thanks.
-- Toru
A: Worms are a type of invertebrate and are covered in Fish and Game Code Section 29.05. The daily bag and possession limit is 35 worms. Note that worms may be taken "... except that no worms may be taken in any mussel bed, unless taken incidental to the harvesting of mussels." ...
Since running an answer to a question posed recently regarding game wardens' rights for search and seizure of hunters, we received requests for clarification.
Our game wardens do not have any additional authority to search someone when making regular law enforcement contacts. Absent valid officer safety concerns, there is no search without consent. That being said, any time an officer asks for a consent search, there is a concern for safety or suspicion of a violation or hiding of evidence, etc.
The "red flag" reference in the answer was relative to this situation -- an increase in an officer's awareness and alertness would be a normal response to a refusal of such a request.
In the hunting and fishing context, the search authority is much broader. Hunting and fishing are privileges, not rights. The fish and wildlife belong to the people of the state and not to any individual. Many states, including California, recognize this and have provided a much broader search authority to game wardens when interacting with those who are engaged in hunting and fishing activities.
Searches of containers, equipment and even businesses may be conducted without a search warrant as long as the person involved was clearly associated with hunting or fishing and the search is for equipment used for the take or for fish and wildlife. This search authority is unique and does not apply to any other law enforcement officer in the state.

All of this food looks so yummy. The cake is beautiful! Did you freehand the design?ReplyDelete
Everything looks fantastic! The cuppers are so cute and that cake is simply amazing!ReplyDelete
Grr- blogger is not letting me see your photos except for the last one, but I just wanted to comment because your descriptions sounded amazing! I want to see the themed cake decorations! And the superbowl cupcakes! And the recipes from the real food daily book!ReplyDelete
When you get cooking, you really get cooking! And, I totally have to agree with you- you can't give someone a batch of cupcakes without tasting at least one... you know, for safety... ;-)
Oh my gosh!!!!!!!! WHAT A CAKE! :) You ought to teach cake decorating, you are a truly talented girl. The only thing you missed was writing Feliz Cumpleaños instead of Happy Birthday! :)ReplyDelete
And that mexican fiesta looks absolutely delicious. I cannot let my husband see it or else he will be knocking your door down tomorrow (not kidding.)!! :)
goodness sakes girlfriend! I can't believe all of that good food! you were on a roll!ReplyDelete
yes, that cake is gorgeous!
Wow, that cake rivals the mendi tart design for one of your best!!ReplyDelete
I also made the apricot-almond cupcakes this weekend, for the second time. We love those cupcakes. I think I have made about 10 of the cupcakes from VCTOTW so far, and all except one batch (which I made for a party, not for myself) were not of the frosting variety. I also like the peanut butter (with a choc. ganache icing), the chai (powdered sugar), and the cappuccino (silken tofu creme).
I feel for you with the lentil soup experience. I have made some pretty dull lentil and split pea soups. Thanks to you unfortunate experience I remembered that I had made a lentil soup I really like, a modification of the lentil/rice/sausage (used Tofurkey Italian sausage)/spinach soup in the Whole Foods Market cookbook, which I made again yesterday. If you don't have that cookbook, I can send you the recipe. I also make the lentil soup in How it All Vegan during tomato season.
My goodness, everything looks amazing! The first time I scrolled thru I thought the b'day cake was an embroidered pillow - amazing!ReplyDelete
I almost made those phyllo things from RFD this weekend. They are on my "must try" list.
Your baking decorations are beautiful, and your mexican feast is right up this Texas girl's alley!
Ok, came back in the hopes of seeing the cake for your aunt and WOAH! I don't regret it! I have a blouse just like that cake- you do beautiful work. I'm going to forward this image to a friend who teaches cake decorating, she'll get a kick out of it. =)ReplyDelete
Hi MamafabunReplyDelete
Yeah, I did the design freehand (but I was looking at a picture of a mexican blouse that I found on the internet, for inspiration). It was fun mixing so many different colors of frosting!
Hi Tracy,
thanks! It's fun making vegan lowfat cupcakes for a superbowl party... ha ha! No one suspected!
Hi Nikki,
thanks so much!!
Hi Bazu,
Oh, I'm glad you got to come back and see the pics... there are so many of them. How neat that you have a friend who does cake decorating!! I would love to learn more about fancy decorating... but then, I'm not so into the frosting, so I guess it's a bit of a dilemna. :)
Hi Ruthie!
yeah, I thought of doing Feliz Cumpleanos... but decided to stick with English. I did do the upside down exclamation mark though! You know that mexican feast was so delicious - afterwards my aunt L and I were talking about how cool it is that almost all our family celebration meals are all vegan nowadays. Right on!
Hi MadeInAlaska!
Nice to hear from you! I really enjoyed your "behind the apron" post. Yeah, I was on a serious kitchen roll!! ha ha
Hi Jen,
Thanks for the lentil soup condolensces I'd love a copy of that lentil soup recipe... it sounds like something I'd really like. I like those tofurky sausages. Also, I like your tips on other frosting-free cupcakes. I've been interesting in those peanut butter ones, and the cappucino ones too. Fun!
Hi Diann,
If you do make those little phyllo guys (both of which I recommend), definitely go light on the oil. I sprayed (instead of brushing) and I used about half of what she recommended, and it was still too much for our taste. I think you could just use a tiny bit of oil at the end to seal it, and it'd be great.
That cake is so beautiful! Your decorating skills amaze me. Boy, I need to get my hands on that RFD cookbook - everything out of it looks delicious. And I love the idea of having a Mexican feast. I'm getting stuffed just thinking about all this food!ReplyDelete
Wow! This is intense. Adorable cake, of course, too. I've made those spinach phyllos from RFD as well- super yum.ReplyDelete
Hi Kati!ReplyDelete
Yeah, I definitely recommend the RFD book. I first ate there many years ago... and kept emailing them begging them to write a cookbook. So, I was super excited when they did!!
Hi Jess,
Oh that's cool that you've also made the spinach goodies from RFD. I thought they were delicious. Musty preferred the squash ones, but he's on a squash kick these days. I thought they were all fantastic.
Hi Brooke,
if there was any left, I'd be happy to share it with you!!
- Anonymous10:26 PM
You are so talented and creative. That cake is so beautiful. And you have completely turned me on to the Almond-Apricot Cupcakes from VCTOTW. That's so funny - I completely stumbled over them and after reading your post, I looked them up. I think Isa mentions how they might get passed up for other more glamorous cuppers. Anyway, I'm making these for sure. I can't wait.ReplyDelete

Chris Brown got a positive progress report in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.
A judge told the singer that he was doing "really well" in serving out his probation and community service, with 32 days of hard labor completed so far.
In court, Brown said three words – "Thank you, ma'am."
His next progress report will be May 11, by which time the judged expected him to be at least halfway through his service, which he is fulfilling in his home state of Virginia.
In November, he received an "extremely favorable" report.
The singer was sentenced in October following his arrest on charges of felony assault against Rihanna in February 2009.

BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER, There can be madness in March beyond the NCAA tournament. Canada, mexico, india, Players can transfer. Coaches can leave, ZITHROMAX cost, Where can i order ZITHROMAX without prescription, or be forced to leave.
There's madness in the Big Ten, real brand ZITHROMAX online. Buy cheap ZITHROMAX, Purdue could lose coach Matt Painter. Michigan could lose Darius Morris to the NBA, BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER.

ZITHROMAX for sale, No coaching search, like last year or in 2007, ZITHROMAX reviews. BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER, No players have transferred, unlike the past five seasons. Is ZITHROMAX safe, There's very little message-board rumbling of rumors.
Silence can be a good thing, ZITHROMAX natural. Purchase ZITHROMAX online no prescription, A program that has been as stormy as spring weather has been quite stable since the end of the season. The only news coming out of Iowa City isn't much — a couple of recruits have visited, after ZITHROMAX, ZITHROMAX dosage, and coach Fran McCaffery and his staff have been on the recruiting trail trying to fill the last two scholarships.
Players have been posting on Twitter how hard they are working to get ready for last year, BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER. Matt Gatens threw out the first pitch at an Iowa baseball game over the weekend, generic ZITHROMAX. Buy no prescription ZITHROMAX online, Assistant coach Andrew Francis tweeted about what a great time the team had on a weekend dinner outing.
You can find plenty of ways to point when putting the blame on what has gone wrong with the Hawkeyes over the last five seasons, ZITHROMAX overnight. ZITHROMAX street price, Instability is near the top of the list. BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER, Programs can't grow unless they are stable. Roster turnover can kill consistency within a team, order ZITHROMAX no prescription, ZITHROMAX treatment, and questions that hang over a program certainly can affect recruiting.
McCaffery's arrival has signaled a change in stability with the Hawkeyes, ZITHROMAX gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release.

Lyndal Scranton of the Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader came up with some interesting names for replacements. BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER, Among those names:
• Former Iowa assistant Craig Neal, now at New Mexico with former Hawkeyes coach Steve Alford. Neal's name has come up with plenty of coaching openings — Bradley and Georgia Tech (his alma mater) most recently.
• Moberly Junior College coach Jay Spoonhour, the son of former Bears (and Southeastern Community College) coach Charlie Spoonhour.
• Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton, whose name has been thrown around everywhere in the last few weeks.
I like the hiring of Geno Ford as Bradley's new coach.
Ford has been an up-and-comer since getting into the college coaching ranks, BUY ZITHROMAX OVER THE COUNTER.
To win with the Braves, he will have to tap into Illinois' fertile recruiting base, especially in the Chicago area.
He will also have to deal with a fan base that has dwindled, but still can be irrational.
What was interesting was his name was never really involved in the search until the end. Which always seems to happen.

The Foundation for a Free Society
The Foundation for a Free Society: Educate. Activate. Liberate.
Mission Statement:
The Foundation for a Free Society is dedicated to promoting the principles of liberty, personal sovereignty, non-intervention, private property, and free markets in order to create a more free and prosperous society for all.
Primary Objectives:
•Provide education and training in the philosophy of liberty by producing materials and organizing events.
•Enable individuals to more effectively communicate the philosophy of liberty in their community, and more efficiently implement this philosophy through state and local activism.
•Promote individual sovereignty by providing education on alternatives in the areas of education, currencies, health and wellness, self-defense training, and entrepreneurship.
Target Audience:
•Elementary/High School Students, targeting specifically home-school groups and families that lean toward libertarian views, as well as charter schools and public schools.
•College students, leveraging the access of existing groups such as the College Libertarians and Young American for Liberty.
•Adults who are receptive to the philosophy of liberty and members of the grassroots liberty movement who are thirsting for information and solutions. This would include anti-establishment left groups, anti-war organizations, Libertarians, as well as Tea-Party Patriots, Ron Paul Republicans, and 9/12 Group members.
We want something cutting edge, yet communicates strength. We want something that can be on a business card we hand to a potential $100,000 corporate donor, and can also put on a flier that we distribute across a college campus. We want something slightly revolutionary, but doesn't communicate anarchy.
Also, note that our name has a dual meaning:
It is a FOUNDATION in the organizational sense.
It is a FOUNDATION in a structural sense. The education we provide is truly the foundation for a free society. Get it? Of course you do!
Now, who is up for the challenge?

Germany beat Israel in final friendly
Germany worked hard for a 2-0 win over Israel in a Euro 2012 warm-up match on Thursday with Mario Gomez and Andre Schurrle on target in their final test before next month's tournament.
The three-time European champions, among the title favourites, dominated with a performance that was a marked improvement on their 5-3 defeat by Switzerland on Saturday.
However, they wasted close to a dozen clear chances on a rainy evening in Leipzig as they prepare for the finals being co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
Germany face Portugal on June 9 in their first match in Group B which also includes Netherlands and Denmark.
"We can say this was a decent final test of our preparation and will give us a bit of a boost," said coach Joachim Low, who is leading Germany for a third major tournament.
"Obviously not everything worked well yet. It is clear we could have scored more goals but to go with a win into next week is good for us," he told reporters.
"We will improve, the tempo at the tournament will be higher, in the second half we squandered six or seven chances... so there is still a bit to work on."
With Bastian Schweinsteiger ruled out with a nagging thigh injury, Toni Kroos partnered Sami Khedira in a holding midfield role.
Captain Philipp Lahm switched from his usual right back position to left-back with central defender Jerome Boateng playing on the right where he is less comfortable.
The Germans, as expected, took the initiative in constant pouring rain but had to wait 20 minutes for their first clear chance when Boateng rattled the post with a curled left-foot shot as Israel defended in numbers.
Gomez broke the deadlock five minutes before halftime, picking up a Thomas Muller pass in the box and firing high into the net for his 22nd international goal in 52 appearances.
Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was called into action twice soon after the break to rescue the hosts before they upped the tempo again, missing several chances with Lukas Podolski and Mueller among the culprits.
Substitute Schuerrle grabbed their deserved second goal eight minutes from time, rifling home from 20 metres as Germany won their first match this year after two defeats.
"We had some good combinations, allowed nothing to happen at the back," said Lahm. "We [Bayern players] had not played for 12 days, we had only three days of training with the team so not everything can work instantly. That's normal."
"We'll be fully fit when the tournament starts," added Lahm who along with his club team mates had been given some rest after losing to Chelsea in the Champions League final.

Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces traditionally have a flag draped over their coffin as a reminder to others of their service. The flag, after being folded properly, is presented to a survivor.
Gun salutes often are rendered as part of the funeral service. Obituary notices are accompanied by pictures of the country's flag in this and most other newspapers.
In short, those taking part in a veteran's funeral have multiple reminders of the individual's service to country.
Bystanders and passersby of the funeral procession, however, generally have no idea the person being laid to rest once helped defend this proud nation. Unless, of course, that procession includes other veterans displaying the Stars and Stripes on the back of their motorcycles.
Locally, that's a task taken on by the American Legion Riders of Hays Post No. 173. If the family requests, the Riders will show up in force for the funeral procession. Since the bikers can't simply show up uninvited, that request is a necessary step.
And it apparently isn't always taken.
"There have been numerous veterans that have passed away that nobody knew we were doing this, for sure," said Lambert Staab, director of American Legion Riders at Post 173. "(The families) just assumed we were going to be there."
Hoping such incorrect assumptions do not happen again, Staab and fellow Legion members are getting the word out. The Riders stand at the ready, willing to escort every single deceased veteran to the cemetery. It is a fitting and moving tribute, one which all veterans deserve but not every one receives.
The American Legion Riders believe in the cause, and receive self-satisfaction for payment.
"You get a very good feeling," said Gorden Burgardt, co-director for the local Riders program, "knowing that you helped honor a man or woman that gave their all for the country."
We fully appreciate and support the honorable service offered by Hays American Legion Post No. 173 -- and other posts across the region and state. We encourage families to take advantage. All it takes is a phone call.
To request the services of the American Legion Riders from Hays Post No. 173, call Staab at (785) 623-0921 or Burgardt at (785) 259-2128.

A Weed Worth Extra Effort
guest blogger: Betsy Fleenor, Native Plant Group
Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberose) is one of the most important butterfly plants you can have in your garden. Not only do their bright orange flowers attract a wide variety of butterflies, but milkweeds are the only host plants for the Monarch butterfly. Upon hatching, Monarch caterpillars must eat the leaves of milkweed plants or starve to death.
Milkweeds used to be abundant in fields and along roadsides. But the increasing loss of their habitat – coupled with herbicide spraying along roadsides, has caused numbers to decline just when Monarchs are really struggling.
According to Monarch Watch*, the three lowest overwintering populations of Eastern Monarchs on record have been recorded in the last 10 years.
How can we help? By planting milkweeds in our yards. Their presence gives the remaining Monarchs a chance to successfully complete their life cycle while brightening and beautifying our gardens.
This is where the Birmingham Botanical Gardens Native Plant Group comes into play. As the volunteer group growing the native plants offered at the plant sales, this is a plant we need to feature. We always have some to sell, but only in limited numbers. This is because butterfly milkweed loves summer.
At the April sale, the plants haven't emerged from the ground. In order to hurry them along they must be forced in the greenhouse. But we have had limited success with this method. To get them looking good in April is quite problematic. Milkweeds don't like to be rushed. They also have a tendency to rot over the winter when in pots.
No problem – we'll sell them at the fall sale. Unfortunately, by October, the plants are likely to already be dying back for the winter. This means that some years they have dropped all of their leaves by sale time. It is hard to sell a pot of dirt with a bare stick in it. Other times the leaves they do have are beginning to yellow which makes them look unattractive or diseased to many plant sale shoppers.
Knowing the plants were too important not to get their due, the Natives Group came up a daring idea last spring. Milkweed is in its glory in the summer, the hotter the better. So we bought 400 starter plants in May and nurtured them through the summer. At the end of July, we put out the word.
We offered them to a relatively small group of Birmingham Botanical Gardens volunteers to gauge their interest. Plants were to be ordered ahead of time. Would this trial balloon fly?
Within just two days our 400 plants were snapped up and many more had to be told we had sold out. Running out of plants is a happy problem, but for the sake of the Monarchs, we wish we would have had enough for everyone interested.
As we talked to those who ordered the plants, our local butterfly experts and Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens staff, we were struck by how much people care about the plight of butterflies and how eager they are to do what they can to help. We have also realized anew that butterfly weed can be quite hard to find at local nurseries and when present, it is often in small quantities.
Based on this year's extremely successful sale, we will plan to repeat the summer butterfly milkweed sale next year, with hopes to have an even larger number of plants available to an even larger target group.

IsaBiome™ works as a complete system to help support a better microbiome so you can feel better, live better, and continuously improve your overall health.
Complete Solution
Many companies offer digestive enzymes or probiotics as separate products addressing separate needs. But, Isagenix formulated these two unique products to complement one another for an immediate and long-term total digestive health solution. Each product delivers amazing digestive benefits on their own, but together, they deliver results unlike anything on the market.
Better Biodiversity and Potency
What you eat has a major effect on your microbiome, which is why a diversity of probiotic strains helps support the best outcome of both conventional and vegetarian diets. Our probiotics feature a powerful blend of a wide diversity of clinically studied strains and 25 CFUs per serving. What does that mean? A more robust biodiversity of friendly bacteria to promote better gut health.
Guaranteed Superior Viability
We take extra care of our probiotic strains to guarantee the highest-quality product that's fully functional for maximum potency. From our microencapsulation manufacturing to advanced moisture and humidity minimizing technology and each protective capsule for targeted delivery to your intestinal tract, every step of the IsaBiome System ensures peak viability and effectiveness.
IsaBiome™ is a breakthrough line of uniquely formulated supplements that consists of probiotics and enzymes to support your microbiome and better digestive health.
There's a well-established link between your digestive health and overall wellness. Poor diet, increasing age, stress, and not enough physical activity are all causes of digestive system problems, which consist of bloating, regularity issues, or general discomfort. Scientific studies have found that better digestive health can lead to better overall health and quality of life, and IsaBiome is designed to help support a healthier microbiome and digestive system personalized to your specific conventional or vegetarian diet.
IsaBiome uses a two-step solution to deliver better digestive health. Our vegetarian- and conventional-diet digestive-enzyme formulas include blends of 13 or 15 enzymes, respectively, offering an immediate impact to help ease occasional bloating, support gut comfort, and optimize nutrient absorption. Our vegetarian- and conventional-diet probiotics feature 25 billion CFUs (colony forming units, a measure of the amount of probiotics) of 10 or 11 clinically tested strains of friendly bacteria, respectively, to support a balanced digestive system, a healthier gut microbiome, and immune health.
Transparency and accuracy are a top priority at Isagenix. We constantly strive to ensure that product information is complete, accurate, and current. However, at times, products may be unavailable or have different labels or attributes than those listed here.

Dollar Fall Is Catalyst For Predatory Global Government
Americans remain ignorant to 35% devaluation of their bank savings as skids are greased for introduction of Amero, North American Union
Prison Planet | December 1, 2006
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
As the dollar goes into free fall and the housing market accelerates in sales yet plunges in price, the quickening of an agenda of economic catastrophe allied to the "solution" of predatory globalism and the creation of a North American Union is afoot, and it spells potential disaster for the livelihood of all Americans.
Home prices have dropped 24% in the last month and most of that fall has happened in the last six months. The dollar has devalued around 35% against its level six years ago and is being trounced by the Euro and Sterling.
A false impression of a rosy economy is being spun with the rise of the stock market. Former fed chief Alan Greenspan's doubling of the money supply and Bernanke's promise that the money supply will be doubled again leads to only one outcome. Common sense tells us that a dollar sink is inevitable and if the housing market isn't the place to put all these devalued dollars then that excess will chase the stock market. Taking into consideration the devalued dollar, the stock market is really at about 6,000 - not 12,000.
All the real indices of financial health tell us that the economy is in the toilet.
Treasury Secretary Snow and others have publicly stated their desire for a weak dollar, sending the foreign lenders who have been propping up the greenback, particularly Japan and China, heading for the hills and dumping the dollar.
The catalyst for this was comments made in November 2004 by Snow, when he told a seminar in London that, "The history of efforts to impose nonmarket valuations on currencies is at best unrewarding and checkered." The Japan Times reported that on the back of this statement, Tokyo traders began dumping the greenback and have continued ever since, leading to a situation today where the dollar recently fell to its lowest value in the world market in 15 years.
The excuse that a weak dollar should be privately encouraged to reduce trade and fiscal deficits is continually debunked by the fact that deficits with Japan and China reached all time highs - more than $200 billion with China in 2005 exactly a year after Snow's comments and continue to rise further this year.
Chieftains of industry and government like Dick Cheney, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are trying to creep towards the door in their sell-off of the dollar because they hold so much greenback and wish to quietly cash out. That process is now accelerating and it now appears a mad scramble for the door is about to ensue, to the cost of hundreds of millions of American citizens who remain completely ignorant to the fact that their bank account savings have lost 35% of their value just sitting there since 2001.
Talking heads and controlled media continue to assure Americans that the economy is booming and there's little to worry about. No doubt the dollar will rebound a little in a few weeks and they'll show a short-term graph of its steady climb over the past month, failing to display comparison charts going back six years which show the greenback heading straight down.
Establishment mouthpieces tell viewers to go back to sleep while former World Bank chief economist and nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz predicts a global crash - caused by the very predatory globalist policies of the IMF and World Bank that are still presented to us as the solution for economic turmoil.
A global crash and a totally devalued dollar that can barely rival the peso spells disaster for all Americans who wish to maintain their standard of living and not find themselves barefoot on the street in a bread queue.
But fear not, because the very predatory globalism that caused all this calamity in the first place has yet another answer to our prayers! It's the Amero, the North American currency that will unify the States, Mexico and Canada and its latest cheerleader is influential London investment firm VP Steve Previs.
The Amero would offer a nice umbrella under which to force through the Free Trade Area of the Americas and a North American Union, an eternal dream of the Rockefeller elite clique that is seeking to erect a one world government system by first aping the European Union in creating a single currency and trading bloc, again to the devastation of middle class America but to the delight of transnational corporations who can exploit cheap labor while putting millions of Americans out of a job.
The fed and the plunge protection team are not going to rescue the situation. Gold and silver continue to remain stable and steadily growing assets and we encourage all our readers to build a sizable portfolio in order to offset the coming meltdown that the cavalier and dangerous financial policies of the U.S. government, along with the ceaseless march towards global government, will inevitably engender.

Halloween for Fashionistas
Witches, devils, and ghosts - Halloween was once about dressing "scary". Although we should see more vampires thanks to the popularity of Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and True blood, Halloween has sadly transformed into an excuse for people to dress provocatively as french maids, nurses, schoolgirls, cops, etc. May I suggest you stand out from the typical cliché costumes and consider a fashionable look this year? Here are some costume ideas that are neither scary or scandalous, just stylish!
My guess is that there will be plenty of girls dressed as Katy Perry this year. Why? Her look is highly recognizable and more importantly FUN! For those of you with talent for a little DIY, cupcake bra from California Gurls video is a must. Otherwise, keep vintage and pin-up girly in mind when finding an ensemble. Oh, don't forget the cherry chapstick!
The Essentials:
- Puprle or blue wig
- Polka dot dress
- Bright sunglasses
- Cutesy accessories (Bows, cupcake rings)
Anna Wintour is arguably the most influential woman in fashion, safeguarding the American VOGUE. Highlighted, bolded, and underscored, having a copy of VOGUE is an absolute must for this costume. Anna is known to have impeccable taste, so impersonators better not disappoint!
The Essentials:
- Short wig with straight bangs
- Shift dress
- Black sunglasses
- Beaded necklace
- The latest issue of Vogue!
The key to looking "bananas" like Rachel Zoe is "more is more". Large round frame sunglasses paired with a fur coat best depict her look. Don't be afraid to add statement cocktail rings and layer some serious neck bling too!
The Essentials:
- Furry coat
- Bumble Bee sunglasses
- Boho top
- Starbucks Cup (Venti!)
- Wide leg jeans
- Assistant (Brad Goreski lookalike would be a bonus!)
You know you've always wondered how the "Posh bob" aka "Pob" would look on you, so go posh this year and dress as Mrs. Beckham! Don't forget to do the trademark pout. May I suggest practicing the silent "prune" in front of the mirror?
The Essentials:
- POB wig
- Bright Shift dress
- Square sunglasses
- Sky high heels
- Boxy bag that resembles a Birkin
Coco Chanel's greatest gift to us is the 2.55. The little black dress + suit comes a close second. Channeling her means you have to incorporate these black & whites. Have fun, mademoiselle!
The Essentials:
- Short black wig
- Peals
- Little black dress
- Tweed jacket
- Cap toe flats
The key to a good costume is choosing a recognizable look. No one wins a costume contest without people knowing who they are! Go with the first look you picture when you think of someone and have fun with it! Want more ideas? Take your cues from America's Next Top Model! Vivian Westwood, Betsey Johnson, Carolina Herrera, or even John Galliano? Take your pick at being a celebrated fashion designer. Now, it's your turn to share costume ideas. I'm dying to hear what everyone has in mind!

"I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind."
Leo Buscaglia
A while back I got serious, not in a good way...way too serious. I forgot how to play. Small children, tantrums, sleepless nights, financial worries, health scares, struggling businesses, too much responsibility and an inability to ask for help sent me on a downwards spiral.
I spent the early years of our daughters lives (now 13 and 17) rushing from one task to another, forgetting to breathe deeply, mostly forgetting to savour the small moments.
A bout with melanoma and a baby with severe asthma made me plunge even more deeply into a frenzied pattern of work and denial, eventually leading to a breakdown (breakthrough:)) at the age of 33. I spent months suffering from debilitating panic attacks and finally made the decision to walk away from the business that was slowly swallowing me up.
I had been running on automatic, with clenched jaw and shallow breaths for so long that the journey back to a less serious take on life was neither quick nor easy but soooooooo worth it. It takes courage to look inside, courage to stop and question your motives and way of being in the world. For me there was an undeniable need for recognition, to be better than, work harder than, achieve more than anyone else.
Over time I learnt the tools I needed to deal with panic and began to be more kind towards myself. I started to paint, spent less time being a martyr and looking for things to be resentful about, and more time seeing the beauty in every moment....over the next 12 years changes slowly happened and as my passion for art grew so did my levels of happiness..... and then guess what? Money began to flow, our family flourished and opportunities began to open up around us. I also began to sing and write music with my husband, slowly gaining the confidence to sing in front of others. He built himself a beautiful mud brick studio on our property and then an art space to call my own. Finally we spent two years turning our little 2 bedroom beach shack into a gorgeous adobe home.
We worked pretty hard at this so when we were finished we decided to pursue a long held dream to travel with our girls for an extended period of time. Not allowing any obstacles to hinder us. we opened ourselves up to all possibilities and took off for 7 months to do nothing but play! From San Diego to Canada and then down into Mexico; we painted, explored, made music,spent time with family, swam, hiked, boated and generally had a great time. I can highly recommend it for anyone that feels they have lost the ability to play. In another post I'll describe all of the serendipitous events that led to the trip manifesting as we certainly had no viable financial plans, just the belief that it was going to happen and it did.:)
Here are some of the things I learned along the way
Community is an open door- all you have to do is not be afraid to enter
Being part of a community leads to a sense of belonging and trust.
Being able to trust means being able to be fully yourself; as silly or as serious as you want to be.
It really is the simplest things in life that bring us the most joy and the best memories.
Ritual, ceremony and tradition bring a sense of belonging and even the most serious of topics can be viewed in a more playful way if we allow it. During Day of the Dead Ceremonies altars to family members who have passed on are lovingly built and favourite items placed upon them; a bottle of tequila for Tio Jose, some chile rellenos for abuela, candy skulls for the ninos who have gone to be angelitos. Reverence and playfulness can work hand in hand.
A smile and an act of generosity will be remembered forever
You dont always have to follow the rules..no seatbelts on an amazing pilgrimage to the mountainous village of Juquila in Oaxaca
You really should stop and smell the roses :)
There can never be too many hugs in a day!
Remember to be grateful...every experience has something to teach us.
Commune with nature as often as you can.
Jump out of your comfort zone and ALWAYS say yes when someone asks you to dance ( except for maybe that creepy guy at the bar;p)
Unexplored paths are the best ones to walk along...
Especially with your dad :)
Dont look for the faults in each other, look for the best. Its easy to find as it lives in the same place as love...
There is something grand and awe-inspiring inside each one of us. self discovery is the ultimate form of play.

- "Good haul this year. Thanks for the Broom Compass, it's excellent, beats Hermione's - she's got me a homework planner -"
- —Ron Weasley's opinion of his Christmas presents[src]
A homework planner is a journal that allows a student to keep track of their assignments. It also verbally reminds the student not to put off their schoolwork every time it is opened.
Hermione Granger gave one each to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in 1995 as Christmas presents. Neither of them was particularly pleased with the gift.[1] Harry made a mental note to chuck it into the fireplace the first chance he got, though it is unknown if he ever actually did so.[2]
Known phrases spoken by the planner
- "Do it today or later you'll pay!"
- "If you've dotted the i's and crossed the t's then you may do whatever you please!"
- "Don't leave it till later, you big second-rater!"

Now that the notorious Mayan prophecy has failed to result in the end of the world on December 21, 2012 – to worldwide sighs of relief – it's probably safe to start planning for the New Year. And there's a lot to look forward to, including a new soapy series about ambitious Latina maids and highly anticipated reality-television roles for Mariah Carey and Shakira. So without further ado, here's a look at the 15 Things We're Looking Forward to in 2013.
1. Looking Forward to in 2013: Devious Maids
Maids to Order
As if a brand new television series based on a Mexican telenovela about some ambitious maids working for the filthy rich in Beverly Hills isn't enough to spark your interest, Lifetime's Devious Maids stars some of our favorite Latina actresses: Roselyn Sanchez, Ana Ortiz, Judy Reyes and Dania Ramirez. Developed by Desperate Housewives' creator Marc Cherry and executive-produced by Eva Longoria, Devious Maids sounds treacherously terrific!
2. Looking Forward to in 2013: Inauguration
A Presidential EVAent
Serving as co-chairwoman of President Obama's reelection campaign, working tirelessly to help get the president re-elected. And now Eva Longoria is assisting in the Commander in Chief's swearing ceremony. The former Desperate Housewives' star is the co-chair of the Presidential Inaugural Committee. So we're stoked to see if Longoria will help bring some Latin flair to the big event on Monday, January 21, 2013.
3. Looking Forward to in 2013: Jessica Sanchez on Glee
She may have been home-schooled, but Jessica Sanchez is getting ready to attend high school. Glee's fictional William McKinley High School, that is. Last season's American Idol runner-up has landed a recurring role on Fox's hit musical dramedy. Though little had been revealed about her character, the pint-sized half-Mexican singer will begin filming her multi-episode arc in January. And we expect Sanchez, in her first acting role ever, will be schooling the cast with her big voice in no time.
4. Looking Forward to in 2013: Shakira on The Voice
Mommy Mentor
It's shaping up to be a big year for Shakira. The Colombian singing sensation will fill Christina Aguilera's red leather chair for the spring edition of NBC's The Voice, premiering on Monday, March 25. And the first promo featuring Shakira already proves she'll be a refreshing addition to the show. But there's another reason Shakira will have plenty to celebrate in 2013… She'll also give birth to her first child in 2013, a son with Spanish soccer stud Gerard Piqué. And we can't wait to see her shine in both new roles!
5. Looking Forward to in 2013: Star Trek
Trek Star!
This May, Zoë Saldaña will be star trekkin'…across the universe all over again. She'll be reprising her role as Uhura in Star Trek Into Darkness, the sequel to J.J. Abrams-directed sequel to the 2009 blockbuster hit reboot to the sci-fi film franchise. The film promises to be action-packed and emotional exhausting, as evidenced by the movie's recently released trailers featuring Saldaña in tears.
6. Looking Forward to in 2013: William Levy
Big Screen Levy
He's mastered telenovelas, acted in his first English-language television series (VH1's Single Ladies) and impressed America with his Dancing (with the Stars) skills. And in 2013, William Levy will be appearing on the big screen for the first time ever. The Cuban American actor will star in the first of three Hollywood films, Boom Town, which centers on a savvy businessman who becomes the target of a corrupt border town sheriff and a notorious land boss after they discover that he's sitting on a fortune. Sounds intriguing. Only question is… Will Levy appear shirtless?
7. Looking Forward to in 2013: American Idol
American Idol
Filling Jennifer Lopez's Loboutins on American Idol seemed like a monumental task, until Fox announced that they'd scoured a major coup, hiring Mariah Carey to sit at the judges table. Then rumors surfaced that the Grammy-winning singer had some major drama with fellow judge Nicki Minaj at one of the show's first audition tapings. And, now America's waiting with bated breath to see how Carey will do, and if sparks will fly with the rap superstar during the live shows. We… Can't.. Wait!
8. Looking Forward to in 2013: Dallas
Southfork Stud!
TNT's Dallas reboot proved to be a rating success, with two Latinas in prominent roles (Jordana Brewster and Julie Gonzalo). For the second season, producers have added even more Latin spice to the mix, former telenovela star Kuno Becker. The Mexican actor will play Elena's brother Andres, who was raised on Southfork with the Ewing boys. "He comes back from Afghanistan with a lot of anger and wants to drill his late father's land," says Becker of his character. "I've had to do a lot of training with firearms, and I get to shoot in a big action scene, but I can't reveal at what or who." Sounds intriguing! Dallas' second season premieres on January 28.
9. Looking Forward to in 2013: Sin City 2
Nancy's Back!
Back in 2005, Jessica Alba set tongues wagging when she portrayed exotic-dancer-with-a-heart-of-gold Nancy Callahan in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's neo-noir crime thriller Sin City. It's one of those pop culture moments – Alba's character dancing on the bar while swinging a lasso – that red-blooded men just can't get out of their heads. And now the half-Mexican American actress is set to do it all over again in the sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which is scheduled to be released on October 4, 2013. !Ay, caramba!
10. Looking Forward to in 2013: Selena Gomez
And I Keep Hittin' Repeat-Peat-Peat-Peat-Peat-Peat
Our hearts sank when Selena Gomez announced she'd be taking a break from music to focus on acting projects. After all, she had us hittin' repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat with songs like the infectious "Love You Like a Love Song" and dancetastic "Hit the Lights." So imagine our excitement when Ryan Seacrest tweeted "@selenagomez just told me new album in march fyi" during an event attended by the two in Dallas.
11. Looking Forward to in 2013: The Place Beyond the Pines
Behind The Pines
They're one of the hottest couples in Hollywood. And, now we'll get to see the sparks fly as Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling share screen time in the multi-generational crime film The Place Beyond the Pines. Set for release on March 29, 2013, the film centers on a stunt motorcycle rider (Gosling), who turns to knocking over banks to better provide for his infant son and baby mama (Mendes). Plus you'll get to experience Gosling and Mendes' love in full bloom on the big screen!
12. Looking Forward to in 2013: Bobby Cannavale
Give The Man a Tony!
Bobby Cannavale, a former Tony nominee, is currently starring opposite Al Pacino in the Broadway production of Glengarry Glen Ross. And the half-Cuban-American actor is earning rave reviews for his role in the play's limited run, which ends on January 20. But if he doesn't earn a Tony nod for his work in that production, Cannavale will get another chance in the highly anticipated revival of Clifford Odets' play The Big Knife, which opens for previews on March 22, 2013. He's "one of those modern actors who you can really imagine fitting right into the 1940s," says the production's artistic director. "There's something wonderfully old-school about him." Sounds like the perfect Tony bait to us!
13. Looking Forward to in 2013: Filly Brown
Jenni Rivera's Last Hurrah
Filly Brown won over audiences at the Sundance Film Festival nearly a year ago with impressive performances by Gina Rodriguez as an aspiring hip-hop artist and Jenni Rivera as her drug-addicted, incarcerated mother. And this April, la Diva de la Banda's fans will finally get the chance to see Rivera's first, and sadly last, acting role. "Her acting is incredible," says Rivera's co-star in the film Edward James. "She can win the Oscar."
14. Looking Forward to in 2013: Parker
Out of Sight… Again!
Back in 1998, Jennifer Lopez earned rave reviews when she starred opposite George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh's crime film Out of Sight. "Ms. Lopez has her best movie role thus far, and she brings it both seductiveness and grit," said one New York Times critic. "If it was hard to imagine a hard-working, pistol-packing bombshell on the page, it couldn't be easier here." And, it looks like J.Lo could earn another round of rave reviews for playing a "savvy insider" in the crime thriller, Parker, which features action star Jason Statham in the title role. The film is set to open January 25, 2013.
15. Looking Forward to in 2013: Evelyn Lozada
Rebound That Basketball
Following a tumultuous year in romance, Evelyn Lozada is returning to the show that made her a star. The Puerto Rican reality star, Latina's new fitness blogger, will be starring in season five of VH1's Basketball Wives. Lozada broke the news herself via Twitter in November. "The time has finally arrived tweeps! I'm heading to film BBW5 Miami !" said Lozada. Optimistic but at the same time kind of afraid, Lozada added "let us pray." Basketball Wives Season 5 is set to premiere on VH1 in early 2013.

ECTC Budget Cuts, 1932
Source: University Archives, CH1050/3/1
Staff Person: Suellyn Lathrop
During the Depression the state of North Carolina began cutting budgets and in 1931-32 fiscal year declared it would operate on a cash only basis. On February 17, 1932 Robert Wright held an emergency meeting of the entire faculty and staff to discuss the reductions in budgets. The Budget Bureau had asked for a 30% reduction in the school's budget amounting to $20,000 which is the equivalent of $256,223.63 today. Dr. Wright asked the staff to consider a voluntary reduction in salary of 10% over the four remaining months of the fiscal year. Sallie Joyner Davis made the motion to make the reduction and the motion carried unanimously.
The next item on the agenda was the Summer School. Dr. Wright gave three reasons to maintain it: 1) 150 women were committed to coming, 50 of whom would graduate at the end of the summer, 2) difficulty in resuming should they quit and 3) keeping as many people on campus employed through the summer as possible. In addition the Summer School budget was cut by 2/3 from $15,000 to $5,000. The school weathered these budget cuts and continued to grow throughout the 1930's.
These meeting minutes are part of the Chancellor's Administrative File found in the University Archives.
