Hannah Claudia : Thanksgiving 2014 Menu
Happy Black Friday?! Is today considered a holiday now too?! Lol idk but I'm staying home today and doing lots of filming/DIY-ing, and I'd take that over shopping any day.
...okay, I did online shopping but only 2 things were for me, the rest were gifts.
Anyways, my brother and I (well, mostly I, hehe) cooked everything this year, and it turned out pretty dang good. We definitely have a refrigerator full of leftovers, and that's absolutely perfect (who doesn't love Thanksgiving leftovers?)
First of all, my pre-Thanksgiving lunch (breakfast was a green juice made with spinach, an apple, and a banana):
Apple & Mara Natha almond butter ;)
Homemade saukerkraut with wakame, avocado, and cashew salad topped with furikake
Creamy Carrot & Cauliflower Soup : my mom had two bowls of this; she loved it which made me sooo happy ;) this soup was inspired by our family friend's carrot soup (hers is ten times better but I can never make it like she makes it!)
Recipe: Baked Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
slices of bacon, each slice cut in half
2. Coat the asparagus with the oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Wrap 1/2 a slice of bacon around each asparagus spear (or keep some vegetarian)
4. Lay the asparagus on top of a cooling rack that's placed on top of a rimmed cookie sheet
(my cookie sheet doesn't have any rims and the oil got everywhere...the oven is currently self-cleaning for that reason)
5. Bake for about 15-20 minutes (depends on how thick your asparagus is)
Recipe: Warm Beet and Green Bean Salad
4 beets, steamed and cut into quarters
2 cups of green beans, washed
1. Cook the onions until golden brown (almost caramelized). Sprinkle with black pepper.
2. Cook the green beans in salted water (just enough water to cover the green beans; not too much salt too!) until tender.
Shock with cold water immediately to prevent overcooking.
3. Assemble salad and top with walnuts
Recipe: Cranberry Sauce (naturally sweetened!)
2 cups of cranberries (frozen)
2. Add all of the ingredients and cook until all of the cranberries have popped.
3. Let it cool and then place in the refrigerator (best overnight) to chill.
2 French baguettes (recipe courtesy of Chef John!)
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced finely (i used a microplane)
1. Preheat oven to 400 *F
2. Mash the butter with the garlic, parsley, and black pepper.
3. Slice the baguettes in half and spread the butter mixture over the halves.
4. Fold each baguette back up and wrap with foil.
5. Heat in oven for about 5 minutes
*You can also sprinkle cheese on top and bake/broil without the foil until the cheese melts.
10 large potatoes, cut into pieces (tip from Alton Brown)
(opt) bacon slices
1. Place the potatoes in salted, cold water in a pot (just enough to cover the potatoes)
2. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are fork tender.
4. Bring the milk to a simmer in another pot.
5. Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes; gradually add the milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
6. Add the butter, cream cheese, pepper.
7. Bake the bacon at 400*F for about 15 minutes (until crispy). Chop into pieces and mix into mashed potatoes
*Vegan mashed potatoes: my mashed potatoes were mixed with almond milk and nutritional yeast ;)
1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water
(non-vegetarian & non-gluten free option: 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 cup of turkey drippings)
1. Thicken the mushroom stock and cornstarch slurry over medium heat.
2. Cool the mixture and blend it.
3. (opt:) Make a roux by melting the butter and mixing in the flour for about 1 minute. Add the turkey drippings and cook until the mixture thickens. Add to the mushroom stock.
cooking makes me super happy ;) now get ready for my favorite recipe which was inspired by this sticky forbidden rice salad that my mom brought home for me (THANKS MOMMY):
Recipe: Sweet Wild Rice Salad
1/4 cup of sunflower seeds, toasted
1.5 cups of grapes
1. Add the cherries and orange juice to a small pot. Cook on medium heat so the cherries can be infused with the orange flavor until the orange juice has evaporated.
2. Heat up the peas and corn with just enough water to cover them.
3. Rinse the rice well (until the water is no longer cloudy). Cook the wild rice in 2 cups of water (the water level should reach the first crease of your pointer finger when your finger is submerged and touches the surface of the rice.) Simmer the rice for about 45 minutes. Keep the lid on for about 10 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
4. In a medium pan, toast the grapes until warmed through.
5. Toss all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
my dad bought a smoked turkey from a local Amish market; I just cut up a ton of potatoes/sweet potatoes/carrots and laid the turkey on top of them. I washed an apple and scored the exterior; the apple was stuffed in the cavity of the turkey to keep it moist. I added a splash of vegetable stock to the pan to prevent the turkey from getting too dry (but a ton of "juice" still came out so I guess it was super moist already). I cooked it for about 2.5 hours at 325*F .
RAW & Vegan Pumpkin Pie: it was soo unbelievably good. and easy to make ;)
how can anyone make room for dessert (2 slices of pie by the way) after eating 2 super big plates of food (mostly consisting of wild rice salad lol)? I honestly don't know. But I made it work ;).
(By the way, doing the dishes and cleaning up for about 1 hour between dinner and dessert helps!)
So that was my Thanksgiving ;) I hope yours was enjoyable and I hope everyone who had to work on Thanksgiving still enjoyed their day <3
xoox, hannah

10 facts about jobs in the future by Pew Research Cent... 1015185 views
PrasanthAlajangi1
1. Spectrum Options Dr. Abhaya Sumanasena, Spectrum lead, Real Wireless UK Spectrum Policy Forum - Cluster 2 & 3: Release Mechanisms & Flexible Spectrum Access, 21/05/2018
2. The background ● There is an unprecedented growth in mobile data usage. ● Access to public mobile spectrum has been a challenge during the last decade. ● There is a pressure for regulators to release more spectrum for public mobile usage. Similarly MNOs are constantly seeking more spectrum. 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved.2 Global Mobile Traffic by Connection Type [1] [1] https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-provider/visual-networking-index-vni/mobile-white-paper-c11-520862.html Whilst the availability of spectrum for all services and sectors important, this presentation is related to the applicability of spectrum sharing for public mobile usage.
3. Licensing options related to spectrum sharing 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2017. All rights reserved.3 Sharing mechanism Concurrent shared access (CSA) Licensed shared access (LSA) Authorised shared access (ASA) Licence-exempt access with licensed anchor (LE-wLA) Description enables multiple operators to share access to the same portion of spectrum but in a coordinated and managed way enables incumbent licensed users to permit access to spectrum by way of a sub-licence thus enabling access to licensed spectrum but within a structured sharing framework enables dynamic use of spectrum at any time and any location where it is unused by the incumbent. The shared user must not cause interference to the incumbent, must be authorised by way of automated or geolocation database access enables generally authorised access to spectrum by devices that must be compliant with industry standards for low emissions and types of spectrum access. Devices must all share the same spectrum and are not protected from interference. This requires licensed carrier as an anchor point Sharing partners MNO-MNO Non-MNO/Govt with MNO Non-MNO/Govt with MNO MNO/Non-MNO with MNO Characteristics Geographical access Static Dynamic Unlicensed Example technologies or deployments DECT guard band (2x3.3 MHz in 1800 MHz in the UK) EU 2.3 GHz TVWS: 470-790 in Europe, CBRS LAA/LTE-U that requires licensed anchor carrier/bearer Source: A study prepared for the European Commission on Identification and quantification of key socioeconomic data to support strategic planning for the introduction of 5G in Europe, 2016, https://connectcentre.ie/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/EC-Study_5G-in-Europe.pdf Variations of these options can be considered as spectrum pooling and trading, partitioned by frequency, geography or time.
4. Spectrum pooling as a variation of CSA • Three alternatives: a. Each MNO is allocated some minimum amount of spectrum exclusively and the and the rest is pooled. b. all of the spectrum is pooled. c. all of the spectrum is divided between the MNOs but each MNO can make their spectrum available to others by some means, such as trading on a local geographical basis. 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved.4 • CSA would be more attractive if MNOs can share the same spectrum, with their relative rights defined in advance or by mutual agreement. The trade-off: MNOs having exclusive but potentially fragmented spectrum or the freedom to have access to larger BW with less certainty and the geographic restrictions that sharing would bring. Exclusive Exclusive Exclusive Exclusive Pooling (4 MNOs) Pooling Exclusive Exclusive Exclusive Exclusive Pooling Note: The graphic Illustration is similar to https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1603/1603.01080.pdf
5. Analysis of spectrum sharing approaches 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2017. All rights reserved.5 Benefits Challenges CSA Easier to manage interference since MNOs have similar business models & compatible technologies Not likely to cope well when each MNO is targeting the same geographical area LSA Trend to harmonise this sharing mechanism internationally. Challenging if the incumbent is changing its usage and expanding ASA Possible to prioritise different users, hence high degree of control of spectrum usage. Dynamic control could lead to better utilisation of spectrum. Dynamic nature adds more complexity, QoS concerns in the peak hours. LE-wLA Great tool for innovation, least regulatory intervention. User locations are unknown Benefits and challenges depend on the spectrum band, regulatory regime and who’s evaluating e.g. MNO/Regulator. • We developed a framework for individual MNOs and regulators to compare the sharing approaches relevant to the local conditions . An example outcome for a particular scenario is shown below: Fator CSA LSA ASA LE- wLA Bandwidth QoS Spectrum m anagement New opportunities Costs for sharing Maturity of of sharing technology
6. Key strategic outcomes from our study for GSMA on spectrum sharing ● Exclusive usage has the highest value from the MNOs point of view. A discount on the economic impacts is unavoidable when spectrum is shared. Additional risk and complexities associated with spectrum sharing make investment by mobile operators less certain compared to the case of exclusive spectrum. ● Less dynamic sharing arrangements are more feasible and attractive: Dynamic sharing crates inherent complexities and risks in both spectrum valuation and sharing execution. ● The size of exclusions and contracts length can rapidly impair the economic benefits: As sharing conditions and service exclusions become more severe, the effects of shared spectrum deteriorate and the economic benefits are rapidly reduced. 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved.6 Source: A report prepared by Real Wireless and Deloitte for GSMA, https://www.gsma.com/spectrum/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/The-Impacts-of- Licensed-Shared-Use-of-Spectrum.-Deloitte.-Feb-2014.pdf
7. Ofcom’s views… ● “58% of the spectrum is already shared between two or more sectors”. ● “Dynamic shared access, enable more efficient re-use of spectrum where and when it is really needed”. ● “Benefits from spectrum sharing have been limited due to the difficulties in managing interference. Technology advances in the recent years makes the interference management easier. For instance”: 1. “Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technology: this can allow devices sharing spectrum to identify the presence of other devices operating in their vicinity so they can avoid causing interference to them. At a simple level, this approach is already used by some Wi-Fi equipment to help select the least congested” frequencies”. 2. “Geo-location database technology: make it easier for devices to identify spectrum that can be accessed on a shared basis in a given location without causing interference to other spectrum users. This approach is being used to enable white space access to the UHF TV bands and can also be applied in other frequency bands;” 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved.7 Source Ofcom: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0023/62609/spectrum_sharing.pdf and https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0021/71436/statement.pdf But no real active sharing in public mobile spectrum yet!
8. Real benefits from DSA needs to be evaluated carefully. • The mobile spectrum has a non-uniform usage across different geographic areas. • Mobile usage is mainly concentrated on where people live or work. • National MNOs may not give much thought to the other areas since the revenue from those areas is negligible compared to the other areas. • DSA could be well suited for those “under used” areas [1]: 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved.8 Option Comment Location based licensing (treat like fixed links) Cannot scale to millions of small cells Use it or Lose it Blocks mobile operators from long term planning Dynamic Spectrum Expansion Only spectrum about to perish is used Simple, low cost and flexible Can be implemented quickly Gets 100% of 5G spectrum into local use [1] The Rt Hon. the Lord Willetts, DSA Global Summit 2018. But how much incremental benefit is available if spectrum sharing is enabled in “under used” areas compared to the challenges with implementation e.g. complexity, costs, competition concerns etc.?
9. Testbeds to establish use cases and techno-economic issues ● RW leads exploration of techno-economic drivers and diverse spectrum needs ● These testbeds focused on use cases, including explorations of neutral host business models. ● Testbeds focused on use cases 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018. All rights reserved.9 ● Application areas: ● On-site live event experience (eMBB) ● Cooperative media production (cMTC) ● Extreme network elasticity (network slicing Traffic control/Surveillance Barges measurements Smart Sea Port (Hamburg) Touristic City (Italy) ● Applications: ● Traffic light control (cMTC) ● Video surveillance (MBB) ● Sensor measurements (mMTC) ● Application areas: ● “Neutral Host” service operated in transport corridors ● Ultra-dense high capacity ● Each has their own slice of resources Socio economic value generated from specific use cases in localised areas cannot be ignored. The value of spectrum to serve these use cases needs to be compared with the economic value of the spectrum
10. Summary ● Spectrum sharing can bring benefits in some cases (for instance, if successful cooperation between users is achieved). ● But moving away from exclusive usage potentially reduces the economic value of the spectrum (from operators point of view). ● The reduction in the economic value varies widely across the spectrum band and the usage. ● A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis underpinned by a solid techno-economic framework is required to understand the reality: ● Benefits from sharing ● Cost in terms of decreasing the value of spectrum (cost equipment ,complexity, infrastructure, planning, additional requirements) 07 June 2018 Confidential & © Real Wireless Ltd. 2018.

Happy Easter | inspiringthruthought
Posted by: karenevoss | April 6, 2012
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life”. -John 3:16
This week we celebrate Holy Week and Easter Sunday. A time of the year when life becomes renewed and replenished. Whether or not you’re religious, everyone experiences this time of year.
You may believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead. That God gave his only son so that we might live. Then again you may just discover that the Easter bunny delivers candy and eggs, but do you ever think about where those eggs came from? Easter eggs come from chickens who produce life.
What are some of the things we see around this time of year? Easter lilies, fresh flowers, and green plants. Think about all the baby chicks out and about in spring. These are all signs of new life. The sun seems brighter as it warms up the earth and allows grass, plants, trees, & flowers to grow. Animals get together and create new life like Bambi who came to life in spring. There’s an abundance of bunnies hopping around giving smiles to anyone who requires one.
It’s like the circle of life. Eventually we will all perish, but then we become the grass, the bunnies eat the grass and the circle continues. We’re part of a circle that never ends. With this, we’re all part of life that never ends….it’s renewed and replenished.
May your Easter be joyous as we celebrate life! Happy Easter everyone.

Ad Aged: What is our responsibility?
A Business Insider "Most Influential" blog. Saturday, January 5, 2013
I am glad you are speaking up. January 5, 2013 at 9:51 AM
The worst schoolhouse massacre in history is not a current meme, so I present it to you now: May, 1927, Bath, Michigan, 48 dead, 53 injured, a total of 103 casualties, three bombs. I've heard it said, even if you can achieve 100 percent gun control, you can't control crazy. Or maybe we just don't want to think about it. Maybe taking responsibility for the social, political, economic, and even spiritual climate that allows such aberrations to occur with such frequency is just not the American way. So, as usual, innocent liberty is the first casualty of brain-dead reaction. When will we shift the focus from inherently inert pieces of metal, to the responsibility of people for their actions, including all who turned a blind eye to the coming storm. I live in Tucson. The mental state of the famous mass-shooter here was well-known to a lot of people including many in authority. But no one had the power or the will to take preventive action. Why is that? Police authorities will tell you they can't act until a crime is committed. Well and good, but what about the developing period leading up to that? None of these horrors came to pass in a vacuum. I saw video last week of Al Sharpton appearing to advocate knife control after we get control of all the guns. Knife control? Really? If this is what passes for enlightened thinking in this country we are doomed. January 7, 2013 at 12:19 PM

*: angry woebot
the 45 found this great sign that holds a very dear expression. it all started while i was visiting honolulu in may and jas and i were going on and off hickam afb a whole lot. there was a flashing sign that said "carelessness is dangerousness." then jas said that there were a bunch of those sorts of little sayings. like: "if you don't know, don't go.", "if in doubt, don't go out", "loose lips sink ships", "it's cheaper to keep her." so on and so forth. when jas went to the beach the other day, he saw this sign and he took a picture of it for me.
jas actually hurt himself that same day out in the water. he got caught up in a wave and then was pushed into the sharp rocks below. he obviously did not take the signs advice. but he said the near death experience hit home. a chunk of his foot was cut off by a rock and he has been limping around. next time he's in doubt he won't go out.
the 45 also took a few pictures of a graffiti artist he saw the other night, making art in some club. timber 1 and his angry woebots. i like this work quite a bit.
again jas was out and about and he thought to take some great pictures of the honolulu night life as well as the art scene.
this past weekend i went to atlanta to visit with kate and joel and josiah. kate participated in an art festival in cartersville. we had a great time together. it was so good to see josiah again. it seemed to me that kate got some really good feedback from her work. there were actually good artists represented in the festival. fine art work. i saw no collage though. i'm thinking that collage is just one of those mediums that is overlooked and underdone. maybe it isn't really considered fine art. in my experience i'd think of it as fine. but i've always struggled with knowing how collage fits into the rest of the art world. i'll leave you with another couple photos.

In this post we will learn how to get response from Authorize.Net credit card payment using ASP.NET MVC4
One of my client projects I need to implement Authorize.net payment gateway. So just implemented using SIM (Server Integration Method). But my client wants, if the payment getting success then shown a custom receipt page and save the transaction details in to our own database. In other case if the payment getting fail then provides repayment option.
In SIM method this is not possible (or not advisable) because we using “x_relay_response” to get response from Authorize.net. Note,this is just relay the url, not redirect to the result page. And URL always points to the https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll. And the response time also only 10 seconds. If your server not responds within 10 seconds then you get time out error like
“An error occurred while trying to report this transaction to the merchant. An email has been sent to the merchant informing them of the error. The following is a result of the attempt to charge your credit card.”
This error indicates that Authorize.Net is unable to connect to the page that you have specified as your relay response URL. To avoid this kind of errors you need to go with Authorize.net’s another one integration method AIM (Advanced Integration Method)
You can get more about AIM method from here http://www.authorize.net/support/AIM_guide.pdf
Implement AIM :
First create a sandbox account in Authorize.Net. https://developer.authorize.net/sandbox/. After you registered you will get the API Credentials
Create you view page as per your requirement. Here I'm taking from Authorize.net default payment screen
Then add that details into your web.config file
<!-- Payment Authorize.NET - Begins --> <add key="Payment.AuthLoginID" value="XXXXXXXXXX" /> <add key="Payment.AuthTransactionKey" value="XXXXXXXXX" /> <add key="Payment.TestMode" value="true" /> <add key="Payment.URL" value="https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll" /> <!--<add key="Payment.URL" value="https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll" />--> <!-- Payment Authorize.NET - End -->
Then call the following function into your post method
private string AuthorizePayment(PaymentDataModel payDataModel)
string AuthNetVersion = "3.1"; // Contains CCV support
string AuthNetLoginID = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Payment.AuthLoginID"].ToString();

The Twisted Kitchen: May 2011
You all are probably wondering one of two things right now - the first being were all my birthday posts were for April, or when I was going to end my obsession with coconut milk caramel.
Well, the answer to the first is easy - I haven't made Tim's cupcakes yet (and I think they will probably look suspiciously like whoopie pies this year), my nephew Ryan never returned my phone call on what kind he wanted, and my brother sticks with the classics and wanted the same thing as last year.
The answer to the second, however, is even easier - never. I can't imagine not loving this stuff. I do have good news for you, though. You can make it in a crock pot. I tried it for this recipe, and it came out perfectly. I used a small crock pot, and kept the heat on low, but it came out wonderfully. This is not set it and forget it food, though. You do have to stir it a few times, but it tasted as good as when I made it on the stove top.
Now, on to the cupcakes. I didn't really know what kind to make for Fawn's birthday. I had a few ideas, but since she likes coconut milk caramel as much as I do, I thought she would love these. And, she did.
I've only made this recipe a few times, but I do want to share it. I searched for dulce de leche cupcakes before I made these, thinking I could substitute the coconut milk caramel in, but I couldn't find a recipe for dulce de leche cupcakes where there was actually caramel in the cake batter. Filled - check. Frosted - check. Actually caramel baked into the cupcakes - couldn't find. I'm convinced this recipe can be easily adapted for dulce de leche cupcakes, so let me know if you do it! I think 1 cup of dulce de leche and 1/2 cup of milk would be a great substitute, by the way!
After tasting these cupcakes, I decided they were pretty sweet and needed cream cheese frosting. So, that's what I used. And, it was the perfect frosting for these cupcakes. They were gone quickly and received rave reviews!
For a .pdf, click here!
1 batch coconut milk caramel – about 1 ½ cups
Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk caramel, oil, egg, salt, and vanilla. Mix until well combined. Add flour and baking powder, and stir until just combined.
Bake at 350 for 10-17 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting.
Coconut Milk Caramel (crock pot version)
1” ginger, peeled and cut into planks
In a small crockpot, stir all ingredients and set on low. Let cook for 4-5 hours (uncovered), stirring every hour. When mixture has turned deep caramel, turn crockpot off.
In a large mixing bowl, beat all ingredients except cream until light and fluffy. Add cream, one tablespoon at a time, beating the mixture 1-2 minutes after each addition.

May 2011 Daring Baker Challenge - Marquise on Meringue
Or, in my case Meringue-less Marquise!
I'm going to have to visit that restaurant in Seattle, because their pictures looked fantastic! But, here I am, a day late - and I hate to be late! - and no meringue. Honestly, I just wasn't feeling the meringue. Thank you again Emma and Jenny for the great challenge!
This recipe intimidated me. It seemed to make a life time supply of things, and things like tequila caramel didn't sound very tasty to me. Keep in mind, tequila and I have a checkered past, so it never sounds good to me. It's all my fault...I had to learn the hard way that tequila shots with diet coke to wash it down tastes like finger nail polish remover!
I wasn't really feeling the eggs in this recipe, so I sort of made the vegan version. I say sort of, because I ended up unveganizing it. I used Dove Dark Chocolate bars instead of the vegan chips, and then I whipped in some whipped cream to make it fluffier. I really loved the flavor, though!
My marquis is floating in a pool of butterscotch sauce - I simply substituted scotch for the tequila in the sauce recipe, and subbed brown sugar for white. The sauce is yummy. I'm saving it for some ice cream sundae cravings later.
And, finally, I made Cinnamon-Ginger roast pecans, rather than the almonds. I added 1 t. ginger to the original recipe, and left out the cayenne -we all know how much of a cayenne whimp I am.
Did I love this challenge? Well, sort of. It's been difficult for me to get into a summer dessert fling. I'm trying to diet - and it just doesn't look like summer yet here. We are still getting more than our share of rain - as I write this, it is literally raining sheets...
For the recipe, follow the link. They did an amazing job explaining everything you need to do!

Crystal Balls and elections, local and loco. - Evanston, IL Patch
Crystal Balls and elections, local and loco.
Hmmm. I just listened to a radio interview with Clif High on Veritas Radio (online). Clif is a quirky genius with a pretty darn good record when it comes to predicting future events through the use of a crawling spider software known as web-bot. This however, only begins to describe his expansive knowledge and view of the universe.
Anyway, listening to this interview, I remember as I watched Obama and his family on TV the night he was elected. Still all hopey and changey star struck, I cried tears of joy, along with everyone else...but then turned to my companion, Eric Lieberman, and said..."He's going to be a one-term president." It was just one of those moments. Don't know where the thought came from, it was just a momentary knowing. So, what struck me in Clif's latest interview was his prediction that this election would deeply scar our faith in the electoral process itself, and that there would once again, be a period, after a seeming victory, of confusion which would find Obama stepping down, and Romney winning. Not that we would ever really know the true vote count...more like... perhaps the Supreme Court would once again make the final call, as it did in 2000 when most Americans, too zoned out to care that our democracy had just been flushed down the toilet, changed the channel and popped open another beer. (I wonder if they’ve even noticed that we’re now in a brave new world, rife with drones, state sponsored terrorism, surveillance up the wazoo, and executive orders which threaten to jail and throw away the key forever on anyone who dares to differ from officialdom. (I refer here, of course, to Bush’s Patriot Act, and Obama’s National Defence Authorization Act, or NDAA.)
As you know, if you've read my former posts, I don't think it matters that much who the president is...as the powers that be are going to do what they will, and they pretty much install who they need to either fulfill one of their sickening self-serving scenarios or to keep us thinking we have a good guy we can trust running things. If you think I'm kidding watch this short documentary about the CIA featuring testimony from five former agents: http://tinyurl.com/8retfd3
Anyway, maybe my premonition will come true. Don't know. I will say I have no premonitions regarding local races. Here in the 18th district we have Eric Lieberman running against incumbent Robyn Gabel whose corporate contributors...well, scary, and I don't want to bore you with the details, but the list includes Monsanto and big pharmaceuticals along with a prominent giant international law firm that keeps whistleblowers from bringing down these monster pharma's when they cheat and lie to get their drugs into your body, and your (or, more frequently the taxer payers’) money into their pockets. The irony of this situation will be lost on most true blue Evanstonians...but to me, it's like knowing a really funny joke, but not knowing anyone who would take the time to hear it. Democratic incumbent Gabel, who all these blue-bloods assume is "on our side," is getting gobs and gobs of money from the corporatocracy that's laughing all the way to the bank while you and your children stare into the abyss of a future devoid of anything we used to think of as an acceptable standard of living, while the Republican candidate, Eric Lieberman, will be assumed by you blue-bloods to be some kind of corporate creep. This assumption has no basis in fact, as Eric has no corporate contributors. In fact, he and I founded Evanston GMO Watch (egmow.org) and, in our quest to understand what the heck is going on, learned more than we wanted to know about Monsanto and their evil ways.
Even more unbelievable to me is that most “liberals” think they are fighting “free market” Republicans. I would break out into outrageous laughter at this thought if it didn’t make me want to puke first. Can’t tell you when we last had a free market, people…but I’m pretty sure it was approximately around the time I used a little key to make my roller skates grow along with my shoe size. Again, what we have is a corporatocracy which politicians, local and national and from both parties, are happy to accommodate, as long as the money keeps flowing into their pockets. Do you think the Occupy 99% protests came out of nothing? Where has all the wealth of our country gone? What a shock…to psychopathic liars who are really, really good at not only skewing the numbers the government puts out to get you to think your financial future won’t be that bad, or that it might get better…but to the people (politicians) they hand pick, groom and buy to cover for them. Sorry, no good news here.
Hey, I don't blame you if you can't get yourself to put a check next to a guy running on the republican ticket...(actually, I do blame you…because it’s about the person, not the party, and you, dear reader, are hopelessly stuck, so good luck!), but at least do me this favor. Check out egmow.org, or Jeff Smith's work on the GMO issue. Don't throw out the Non GMO shopping guide Eric is distributing to residents of the 18th district in the coming week. Read it. Get to know about Monsanto, and stop eating that stuff. It's BAD S*#@!T!!! So, please exercise your power to vote with your money, to vote with your awareness, to vote with your teeth. Now, go forth and spread the word!

June - I am hearing and reading a lot about how fragile our voting system has become and how prone it is to tampering. Close elections put a lot of power in the hands of the "counters". I never thought I would quote the great murderer Stalin - but here is what he said - and knew from experience: "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/josephstal109571.html
Don't forget to re-read "Ozymandias" by Shelley. We will never learn. The poem probably refers to Pharoh Ramses II.
By Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792–1822 Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Thank you for taking the time to write that passage. Very appropo.

Around 300,000 British people officially call Spain home, with over 100,000 of them drawing their pension there. Not to mention many more who live in the country unofficially on a temporary basis to escape the elements back home. So what makes Spain such a popular destination with British property buyers? That's easy to answer: the relaxed lifestyle, the food, the passion of Barcelona, the majesty of Madrid, the Blue Flag beaches, the coastal resorts, the diversity of the costas, the seemingly endless supply of sunshine, the championship golf courses - the list goes on.
The ease of getting to and from your villa or apartment overlooking the shimmering Mediterranean, or your renovated finca in the Spanish countryside, is another major draw. Year-round, low-cost flights are available from airports across the UK to all corners of Spain. You can even pack up the car and jump on a ferry from the south of England to northern Spain if you're fed up with baggage restrictions.
Here at Spain Property Guides we believe the key to purchasing your dream home in Spain safely and successfully is simple:
Property Guides are on hand to assist with both. Our guides, newsletters and websites will help you plan your purchase and navigate the overseas property buying process. We'll explain:
