Menu of the Week

I spent the previous two weeks on a full-on cooking strike. Consequently we ate out nearly every night and now I have put myself on an eating out strike. It's all or nothing with me, people. On Monday I timidly made my way back into the kitchen and started mincing garlic for dinner and slicing strawberries for dessert; I pondered my cooking hiatus and thought, "Huh. Well that was silly."

Here's what we ate this week:

:: Brats with sauteed onions and cole slaw + radishes—I like to use this dressing for a quick cole slaw and I bought the brats from a local grocery store.

:: Shrimp + Escarole with Israeli Cous Cous—I picked up a beautiful head of escarole from the Farmer's Market on Saturday but it took me most of the week to figure out what to do with it. I finally settled on this recipe and added shrimp. This recipe continues to make me as happy as it did last September.

:: Hamburgers + Bibb Lettuce salad—If it is nice enough outside to grill, that is where you will find me. Also, I am praying that the dude at the Farmer's Market has more Bibb Lettuce this Saturday because ours is all gone and I'm sad.

:: Pizza—Pesto, Mozzarella, Spinach, Tomatoes

:: Salmon Burgers—we eat these quite often in the summer. They are quick to grill, I usually have hamburger buns on hand, and it is an easy way to get fish on our menu more frequently.

Dessert: Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble—more about this one later. Also, these cookies. Which I meant to take a picture of but never had an opportunity as I was busy eating the entire batch.

Happy Friday Friends. Any big plans for Father's Day? What was on your menu this week?

jillian said...

I love that photo and your menu sounds great! I never know what I am going to make day to day.

paws said...

Did you ever find a red pizza sauce that passed muster?

Sarah said...

Yummy looking recipe. One or more of these might end up on my menu for next week.
Speaking of grilling, have you tried grilling pizza? I just had it for the first time this week. It is delicious!

Katharina said...

Your dinners sound delish.

I made a rhubarb concoction, too. (I'm intrigued by the lemon rhubarb bundt cake recipe in the rustic fruit desserts cookbook. I'll report back when I get it made.)

We bought a share in a CSA (community-supported agriculture) this year, and I've been picking up weekly bins of strange and wonderful produce. These people send me a weekly e-mail with a listing of what's coming in my magic bin, along with a passel of recipes for that week's veggies. So far I've encountered such new-to-me, nutty things like joi choy and mizuno, along with kale and butter lettuce. There has been much sauteeing of greens at our house.

On this week's menu: kale pizza (to Paws: America's Test Kitchen's thin crust pizza recipe has a nice red sauce with red wine vinegar...).

Also, there was an evening of joi choy (kinda like bok choy), sauteed with shredded rotisserie chicken, udon noodles, sesame oil, and a splash of fish sauce.

Now, what to do with these blasted radishes they keep sending me?

Victoria said...

Yum. All sounds delicious. x

catherine said...

How were the cookies? Have you ever made these?

If so, how did they compare?

michelle said...

I just had one of those salmon burgers for the first time the other day! Tasty and quick, I think I'll add those to my Costco list.

I'd like to know what you made with rhubarb. I don't usually cook with it, but thought I might venture for Father's Day since Marc likes it. And it seems like I should like it.

I am also curious about the cookies. I don't know why I have to keep trying new chocolate chip recipes.

AmberLee said...

brats and onions and slaw sound amazing. i'm adding that to next week's menu.

those salmon burgers are the best.

and you are so good. when I go for two weeks without cooking I don't even call it a strike, just a hiccup.

Alejandra said...

Sometimes we just need to take a break and refresh. Looks like you really came back strong!

dw said...

Holy cannoli, the strawberries in that photo are as big as your head!

Hyuk, hyuk.

Also, did you get that pizza idea from little ol' moi?

And you ate a whole batch of cookies, solo? Oh for shame! Not that I can claim innocence vis-a-vis that particular crime or anything...

jt said...

Yeah, I've been on kind of a real-food strike in general since my birthday. One day last week, not a thing passed my lips besides marshmallows and peanut M&Ms. I'm not even kidding. And I'm hoping that this post is old enough that no one else will see this.
Also, how have I not told you how much I love your new banner? Love. It. did you do it yourself, my dear?

Configuration of Research Methods in Information Systems

"The Configuration of Research Methods in Information Systems - A preliminary Framework". ***Abstract*** Research in IS is geared to the ideal of behavioristic social sciences. However, in recent years, there has been a plethora of publications, which question whether a neo-positivistic approach is the only proper research method in Information Systems. When it comes to the realisation of future business models and the deployment of future technologies, the development of methods and design artefacts seems to be more suitable. However, such an approach - sometimes referred to as "design science" or "constructive" - implies severe epistemological problems, which are mainly related to the very notion of scientific research. Does a design artefact qualify for a result of scientific research? If so, what is the difference between a scientific design artefact and artefacts produced by consultants or software firms? Within the neo-positivistic paradigm, research results are hypotheses or theories, which are evaluated by testing them against reality using accepted research methods and common concepts of truth - such as the 'correspondence theory of truth'. However, this kind of evaluation is not possible for design-oriented research, unless you want to wait for the many years it would take to apply and test the approach in practice. Against this background, the presentation will focus on three questions: What are the criteria, a decision between a behavioristic approach and a constructive approach could be based on? How could a research method look like that fits the specific requirements of a constructive approach? How could both approaches to IS research be combined in a synergetic way? Ulrich Frank holds a chair for Information Systems and Enterprise Modeling at the Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems (ICB) University of Duisburg-Essen

Scamming Pays Off

A few weeks ago a guy called the Tassanoxie Sentinel to whine to one of the reporters that he done wired about $15,000 to some scam artist. This guy actually believed someone from the IRS would just up and call and tell him he owed a pot of money and that he better wire it to this address pronto.

Well, this guy wired the money and being he was easy pickings, the scam artist called again for more money. Fortunately, a friend warned the guy he better check with the IRS before he sent more money.

Now he was calling the paper, wanting them to warn other folks about the scam.

First of all, who in their right mind would wire money to the IRS without first calling them to check it out? Or maybe driving about 30 miles to the local IRS office and talking with someone in person? How many times do our city, state, and federal government officials have to tell folks they will not be contacted by phone and asked to wire money anywhere?

A few months ago, I blogged about how easy it was to get a fake diploma online. Being a naturally curious person and a reporter by trade for years, this guy’s situation got me to researching the whole scam situation. The FBI tries to stay on top of this and their website is plum full information on frauds like telemarketing, identity theft, romance fraud, Ponzi schemes, and Internet scams. They even have a Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3–you can thank the federal acronym office for that one!) for gathering data on Internet crime and catching the bad guys who do it.

The job of all these FBI crime fighting units is to reduce the amount of economic loss folks experience. Although if we continue to be dumb enough to just send money to people who call or email us, I think it’s a losing proposition for the FBI.

And we’re talking millions, probably billions of dollars, worldwide each year. In 2014, over 260,000 folks complained to the IC3 with a total of $800 million lost. And here’s the best part of the statistics: only an estimated 15% of the nation’s fraud victims report their crimes.

It was interesting to see which age groups and sexes fell for the different types of scams. More men over 30 went the auto fraud route, trying to buy a car for way below market value. But more women 30 and older fell for the emails impersonating an important government official. (Like the director of the FBI would email me!) These women ended up losing about $1,450.00 a complaint. Men and women over the age of 50 went for the online rental or sale of real estate.

The confidence or romance scam affected four times as many women as men. Women over the age of 40 got burned by the online scam of scammers pretending to be military members. These guys use sob stories to pry money from their victims, whose softhearted response lost them over $71 million in 2014.

The money lost everyday to various scam artists boggles the mind, but also explains those relentless phone calls and emails. Scamming is a huge money maker.

I reckon those of us who haven’t yet fallen for a scam shouldn’t be too hard on those who have. There may be a convincing scammer in our future.

Fact is, the reasons people fall for scams are as varied as the scams. Loneliness, mental deficiency, desire to make a quick buck, altruism–you get the idea. And becoming a victim is easier than you think whatever the reason. What with the Internet, social media, cell phones, and apps for everything scamming gets easier by the minute.

So when that fake IRS agent calls, don‘t panic and start sending money. Do somer homework. Find out who they are and make an informed decision before sharing your bank account.

It might be as easy as hanging up the phone or trashing the email.

About me:

21 year old Female from Jacksonville, Fl, Rest of World
I am Goddess Fantasii.
A woman who loves all of lifes finest things. I reside in the sunshine state, I fell for findom a few years back.
When I entered this world I was shown how weak men truly are, and how to use them for the betterment of myself.

Money is my aphrodisiac.
It makes me feel how you could never, I reach levels of orgasm only an abundance of cash can conjure.
Living a life funded by my submissives is my goal and being a Capricorn means I always reach my goals. Only to discover how much more I want. I am stubborn beyond belief. Why? Because I know what I want and there is no need to waver.
Financial domination is more than an exchange of funds.
It's an exchange of power.

As a 'man' you equate money with your level of success. My ability to have you bow before me and surrender what you feel defines you as a 'man', shows how mentally weak you are for ME.

Sometimes product safety labels send the wrong message — Juanjuan Zhang

MIT Sloan Associate Prof. Juanjuan Zhang

MIT Sloan Associate Prof. Juanjuan Zhang

Transparency and full disclosure are popular notions, especially when applied to consumer product safety. If people have full access to knowledge about product content, then they can decide for themselves whether the product is safe, according to the prevailing view.

But when mandated by public policy, transparency and disclosure can have harmful unintended consequences, I have found in my research. For some consumers, the very fact that government requires disclosure about a product raises a red flag. Individuals will conclude that the government knows something they don’t about the product.  Many people will believe the product content that requires disclosure is unsafe and then not consume the product—even if it does not contain any harmful ingredients.

How waiting longer for the iPhone could help workers — Richard Locke

MIT Sloan Deputy Dean Richard Locke

From the So. China Morning Post

Richard Locke faults a production system geared to speed at all costs

Two decades after Nike faced heat for poor working conditions in its suppliers’ overseas factories, Apple has been responding to a series of scandals – health and safety problems, worker suicides and riots by workers employed at Foxconn, one of its lead suppliers in China. And, once again, consumer activists and others are calling for better standards, more workplace inspections and other steps to prevent such abuse. Read More »

A Fashion Don’t: Why Partnerships Between Luxury Brands and Mass Retailers Often Fizzle–Renée Richardson Gosline

MIT Sloan Prof. Renée Richardson Gosline

From Huffington Post

My latest research* has to do with how people express themselves through the brands they consume. It’s a topic that has interested me for some time.

I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., the daughter of immigrants in a happy but definitely modest household. I didn’t go to a fancy high school — although, living in New York, I was very aware of fashion and labels. In fact, while riding the subway to school, I was regularly exposed to conspicuous consumption — from Wall Street bankers in their custom suits, to fashionistas who sported the latest styles. I got the distinct impression that “when you got it, you flaunt it.” So when I arrived for my freshman year at Harvard — the ultimate ivory tower and in a way itself a luxury brand — I had some pretty clear expectations of how people would signal their status. I had in mind something like Dan Ackroyd’s country club-going character Winthrop in the movie Trading Places. But what I saw got me thinking about what status signals really mean. Read More »

Erik Brynjolfsson on Big Data: A revolution in decision-making improves productivity

MIT Sloan Prof. Erik Brynjolfsson

There is a fundamental change underway in the way that companies make decisions. Instead of relying on a leader’s gut instincts, an increasing number of companies are embracing a new method that involves data-based analytics. This ‘Big Data’ revolution is occurring mainly because technology enables firms to gather extremely detailed information from and propagate knowledge to their consumers, suppliers, alliance partners, and competitors.

Companies that use this type of ‘data driven decision making’ actually show higher performance. Working with Lorin Hitt and Heekyung Kim, I analyzed 179 large publicly-traded firms and found that the ones that adopted this method are about 5% more productive and profitable than their competitors.  Furthermore, the study found a relationship between this method and other performance measures such as asset utilization, return on equity and market value. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit for companies that are able to use Big Data to their advantage. Read More »

Nesting Time

I must admit I had a problem taking this picture because I was giggling so hard. When I first spotted this industrious little Verdin it's head was completely obscured by the large piece of nesting material it had collected. Irresistible :)

thanks for the shoutout! I've never ordered anything from the window at DH, but must do so the next time I'm home...haven't been to Grace's in ages!

Hi Kat - Grace's was a disappointment...I'm taknig the Missus to DHMG next time we're home.

"Moiliili"?! And I thought that first plate lunch looked like a mouthful.

Hi Jan - Yes, one of the tests to see if you're really local...say that fast five times...Mōʻiliʻili. Or even Kalanianaʻole...

Ahhh, Graces. First place I had a plate lunch. Cousin took us there after a Rainbow baseball game a Murakami stadium. Loved the chow fun under the protein and the little container of kim chee. Diners was the second place my cousin took us to. Only thing worth eating there imho was the chicken katsu. Sugoi's is the place for me.

Funny that you should mention Sugoi, Kyle!

Timothy Rodriguez

I remember getting a lunch plate called a "Loco Moco"!!! OMG!!!=^P

Hi Timothy - If you look at categories, you'll see one that specifically has loco mocos. Knock yourself out!

November in the Kitchen

This fennel grows in the back garden with the fig tree.  Swallowtail butterflies like this plant.  I wanted to try some seeds or leaves of this plant in the meatloaf to get that anise flavour... but I did not really get that taste from this fennel plant.  I might need to get the Florence Fennel that grows bulbs and has that flavour.  It is said to grow easily from seed, and is treated as an annual.  This will have to go on my wish list for plants next year.
I made some scrumptious cornmeal muffins.  So good hot out of the oven with too much butter, of course.  And then I had to find a recipe for cornmeal bread or muffins with fennel.  .  . and found one for cornmeal muffins with bacon and fennel seeds.  I can't wait to try this one too.  Both of these recipes use buttermilk.  There goes my weight loss program.  But it is using 'less' wheat!
I managed to finally finish my June album for the gardening page, of my old web site.  It has 16 pages with 10 photos per page.  I seem to be getting more and more albums to do, that I do not seem to have time to get done.  Especially on the travel page.
A couple of days ago I found another garden center using one of my rose photos on their website.
I complained on my FaceBook page, and on their facebook page.  I sent them a contact form from on their website, emailing them to forward $250 to my PayPal account.  They deleted the photo from their website, and deleted my comments off of their FaceBook page.  And what a co-incidence!  The same day they deleted the photo off their website, I received a PHISHING email regarding my PayPal account.  This garden center is in England, Rhinegold Garden Center.  They were using my photo of a rose that was grown in Canada to advertise their roses.  Not only are they thieves, but liars too.  I guess I shouldn't expect any compensation for the use of my photo... the one they stole off of this blog, from people with such shoddy businesses practices.

The fennel looks like Queen Anne's Lace.
We eat a lot of cornbread but hardly ever have the muffins which I like. Butter and apple jelly were made for cornbread. I couldn't do the wheat diet; homemade biscuits won out.

I am not totally off wheat, either. Every little bit helps, though, in the battle of the bulge.

Australia to spend millions to re-map the ENTIRE country to prevent GPS disasters after its found tectonic movement has shifted the entire continent nearly TWO METRES

This seemingly-small discrepancy hasn’t had much of an impact yet because GPS was only accurate to five metres, which was not enough to matter.
But technologies are emerging that require pinpoint accuracy which would be completely thrown out unless it is corrected.
A self-driving car directed by GPS could cause a crash as even a couple of metres would put it in the wrong lane, Geoscience Australia’s Dan Jaksa said.
‘All countries experience errors in their previously mapped positions caused by tectonic motion and are required to update their positioning reference system from time-to-time,’ he said.

Great description of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)

I ran across this blog today and wanted to share it with the readers. The blog is called Build Direct Green Blog. It includes many articles by various authors, including an article that gives some great information related to Insulated Concrete Forms. ICFs have become popular in construction because of their energy-efficiency and strength. As you have probably noticed, we have added many listings on for builders that utilize ICF construction, as well as manufacturers of ICFs. The article is called Green Building with Insulated Concrete Forms and the author is Nan Fischer. Here is the link:

Viewpoint Article: Governor Walker in Wisconsin

                                                       Governor Walker in Wisconsin
       Okay the recall did not work; now what?  Union public sector employees are definitely in the crosshairs nationwide and they now have a conservative hero to be the spokesman of the Republican party on this issue. If you think this is not going to be an major component of their platform you are delusional.  There is no beating around the bush about this, there is one party that hates organized labor and there is one that has and still continues to support us. There is one that will do anything to destroy collective bargaining and there is one that believes it is our right. There is one that claims we are run by "Big Union Bosses" and there is one that realizes 99% of us are just workers who elect our own leaders. There is one that takes hundreds of millions of dollars from a couple of billionaires  and complains when union members donate their own money to a candidate. Which party did you choose to support in the last election?
      Ordinary citizens who buy into this propaganda in some cases are simply jealous or vastly uninformed.  I have some in my own family and you probably do too. In a tough economy people look for scapegoats. I remember when people hesitated to take government jobs because they wanted to work in the private sector. It was by some considered demeaning to work for the government; amazing what organizing and unity can accomplish isn't it? Money is without question a huge part of this election and sorely needed but turnout is even more important. This country is pretty much split right down the middle so every vote is important. I talk to everyone in my family about postal issues and let them know why we support candidates who support us and in the best interest of the USPS.  It is disheartening when talking to family or friends how often they will say; I did not know that when told about such problems as retiree pre-funding mandates. Do not overlook the impact you can have by just simply stating your opinion.
     State employees targets now, federal employees next? Don't you believe for one moment it can't happen because it can.

Get Ready

 Later this summer after the Republican party chooses their presidential nominee we as an organization will be mobilizing our members nationwide to state our views on who should run our country for the next four years. I have been somewhat of a political junkie since JFK and I do not believe that there has ever been such an obvious difference between the two parties. We have two and maybe in the future three parties for a good reason. America is the freest and most diverse country in the world and we all have an opinion. Every four years we have the privilege of stating that opinion. This year it is vital for all working people, especially union members, to stand up and shout no to those that would take away our rights that we have fought so hard for.
 Somehow state and federal employees have become the villains to most conservative politicians. They propose laws that would cripple the ability to "negotiate" an honest and honorable wage and benefit package. How dare we think we should be able to afford to live in a nice home and drive nice vehicles we are just the people who carry the mail? How dare we think that we are as good as lawyers, doctors, bankers, or even politicians? Well in my opinion not only do I think we are just as good but deserve every penny we get and that we are under compensated as well. We did not cause the economic crash in this country; blatant greed did. I have not heard anything about a bailout coming our way. We will continue to pay our share to support our country as we always have but do not use the USPS or its' employees as an example of wasted resources. Stay proud of what you do and your value to this country and get ready for a fight because it is a-coming.

It's All In The Letters

   It's all in the letters!
        You know the business saying, it is always all about the numbers? In my opinion politics and our choice of who to support are always all about the letters. D,R, or I are always somewhere on any piece of legislation that is debated and voted on in our form of government. The person or persons who have proposed this bill are designated by their political affiliation. Democrat, Republican, or Independent will be stated somewhere. I personally really like this system. It is a shame that with the mood of the country we very seldom have more than one letter on any piece of legislation but maybe we will see an end to that in my lifetime. I plan on living for a few more decades so there is that possibility. The reason I do like the system is because you can match the letter with the proposals and what they request. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. Let me give you an example.
        There are 22 states with right to work laws in affect. Of those 22 states there is a R in front of the Governors of 21 of them. If you have been paying attention to the presidential debates going on you have heard all of the participants voice their approval of "RTW" laws. I might point out that at this time 7 of the 10 poorest states in America are RTW states. Now who do you think are benefitting from lack of unions in those places? You connect the dots. These are facts folks not rhetoric. We are fighting not only for union rights but workers rights. What is good for labor is good for America plain and simple. A vibrant economy can not be sustained with minimum wage jobs. Do not be timid when this subject is brought up with friends and neighbors.
         If that sounds like I have made up my mind who to work for in the coming elections you would be correct. All I had to do was connect the dots. I hope you participate as well. We will be looking for volunteers.

The Post Office and Billy Long

The Post Office And Billy Long

by R. Duane Graham
The Postal Service sells only one thing: postal service.
So, naturally, those who are in charge of the Postal Service, in order to deal with a largely Congress-created financial crisis, want to jettison the service they sell.  That is what is happening with USPS management's move toward 5-day delivery and its plans to close mail processing centers and post offices all around the country.
In Springfield on Wednesday, as Wally Kennedy of the Globe reported, the Postal Service held a public hearing on the closing of the mail processing plant in that city. If the plant were shut down, mail would be processed in far-away Kansas City. That would mean delivery standards for first-class mail would deteriorate. Mail that is now being delivered overnight would take a day or two more to deliver. And that would affect Joplin, too, because our mail is currently processed in Springfield.
We all know that first class mail is declining in the Internet age; we all know there has been a serious recession and a slow recovery; but we all don't know that the real problem with USPS finances is Congress' ridiculous insistence in 2006 that the agency pre-fund 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10 years, which means about $5.5 billion off the top every year since 2006. Without that onerous requirement, there would be no financial crisis in the Postal Service, although it would still face some long-term challenges.
But rather than focus all of its efforts on getting that burdensome requirement modified, USPS managers instead are slowly undermining the reason the Postal Service exists: to provide universal service in a timely manner.
Wally Kennedy reported:
So many people showed up for the public hearing that there was not enough room in the Executive Conference Center Ballroom, 910 W. Battlefield St., to hold them. Up to 100 people waited in line outside the center for seats to open inside.
There are two very basic reasons why so many folks showed up. One, there are lots of well-paying jobs at stake, which around these parts are hard to come by in good times, not to mention challenging times.  Two, a lot of folks rely on the service that management is so eager to cut. The Globe story briefly demonstrates how:
Specific segments of the business community, especially those with time-sensitive materials, such as newspaper and business journal publishers, said they would lose subscribers if the delivery of their products is delayed.
Frank L. Martin III, editor and publisher of the West Plains Daily Quill, said, “This could very well put us out of business, and we are the only source of local news in our area.”
Elaine Johnson, of Springfield, told the Postal Service representatives that she suffers from a medical condition that requires the timely delivery of medicine. She said she does not own a computer and relies on the Postal Service to help her keep in touch with other people.
As I said, USPS has only one product and that is the timely delivery of the mail. Messing with the quality of that product spells doom in the end.
Finally, I want to put in a rare good word for Congressman Billy Long, who was in attendance and appeared to be trying to keep the processing center alive, according to the Globe:
Echoing what some others said, Long expressed the hope that the Postal Service would take into consideration the fact that Southwest Missouri is the fastest growing area of the state. He said the loss of the mail processing center to Kansas City, the loss of dozens of good-paying jobs, and the fact that mail would take several days to be delivered instead of arriving overnight would not help the region further its growth.
The paper also quoted him as saying, "This is pretty well a done deal. Is there anything we can do?"
Why, yes, there is, Mr. Long. I'm glad you asked. You can co-sponsor H.R. 1351 (which will help straighten out USPS finances) and urge your colleagues to vote for it.  And you can co-sponsor and urge your colleagues to support H.R. 137 (ensures 6-day mail delivery), which was introduced by Rep. Sam Graves (MO-6).
And you can vigorously oppose H.R. 2309, a bill sponsored by Darrell Issa that will eventually kill the Postal Service.
If you do all that, then I might go easy on you for a while.

Older Than The Constitution Institution

Older-Than-The-Constitution Institution

For any of you interested in the fate of the Postal Service, MSNBC’s Up with Chris Hayes devoted a couple of segments to it Saturday morning (a little over 16 minutes). Although it doesn’t happen that often on television, most of the discussion involved an accurate portrayal of the pre-national institution’s problems as well as a good presentation of the pre-funding issue that is crippling its finances.
As you watch, you can easily pick out the conservative on the panel, although for a conservative, Josh Barro of National Review and the Manhattan-Institute, is somewhat sympathetic to (and knowledgeable of) USPS:

Class Warfare

I have been planning on writing this article for awhile but when I read the words of Venessa Freedle in the Oct. issue of our Postal Record I knew it was time. If you did not read it get a copy and do so. Great job Venessa.
    Why is it that the only time workers are accused of class warfare with the leaders/bosses/owners is when we fight back? It is so easy to get along with these folks when we never question them on issues that affect us and our families. Every letter carrier I worked with over the years wanted a decent wage and a safe and respectful workplace. I never worked with one carrier that wanted to be the richest person in the world. Yet somehow we are always the villains when negotiations or hard economical times occur. We are at war in this country right now with people who would strip all of the rights we have fought for so long to gain. None of these benefits were given to us. Not one member of management or our government said lets give these folks more holidays, better wages, safer conditions, a good retirement, or the right to negotiate our own contracts. Our union and us did that.
    There are people in this country who think stamps should be 10 cents and letter carriers should make minimum wage. There are people in this country who think we should not have the right to organize. There are politicians in this country who use us as a way to fire up their base and claim we are a prime example of government waste. There is a political party in this country who will do anything to eliminate all labor unions. There are union members in this country who somehow think they do not need union representation because the bosses like them just fine. I am a firm believer in the truism that you get what you work and fight if necessary for. Our union and us did that.
     In 1931 Florence Reece the wife of a union organizer for the Mine Workers in Harlan County, Kentucky wrote a song. The name of the song is "Which side are you on".
     The verses throughout the song are
  Which side are you on boys?
   Which side are you on?
     I think it is past time for every letter carrier to look in the mirror and ask yourself that question.

Display Order:

Monks who follow the Rule of St Benedict, compiled in the sixth century by St Benedict of Nursia for his monks of Monte Cassino. From the ninth century this became the blueprint for Western monasticism. Members of the Order take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and pledge stability to the monastery and the way of life. Their customary clothing is a black habit, which symbolises humility. The Benedictine Order dominated religious observance from the sixth century until the late eleventh century when its monopoly was challenged by the emergence of new religious orders such as the Cistercians, Carthusians and Tironensians.

It's rumored, half the time Ridley Scott spent updating and mastering the most recent "last" Final Cut of Blade Runner was spent figuring out if Deckard was a replicant or not ("Do I have any coverage of that?") and half the time he spent taking out the wires and cables that were suddenly visible in the new hi-definition formats.

Film is a different medium than digital, and has grain, 24 images per second, moves through the projector and each image is distinct, different, contrary - the inherent blur tends to soften sharp distinctions between shots. Just ask ILM.

Blu-ray imagery is sharper and doesn't move - it's an algorithm that reveals anything the original film could pick up and holds it still for our eye. In hi-def 4 times as sharp for our edification. And in its crystal clarity lies the rub.

The mechanics of film is forgiving and tricks the eye. When lit properly rear-and front-projection screens look real in their soft-focus background. Matted shots blend more smoothly with the hard surface of the foregrounds. Cables that held the helicars up disappeared in the smoke, but Scott had to have them digitally removed for the blu-ray.

Tom Savini's make-up effects, intended to go by in single-digit frame-flashes in the old Friday The 13th movies convince even less than they did then.

Movie theatres used to be large dark rooms and the light, this big at its source, would be expanded and diffused through the hundreds of feet it travelled to the movie screen, by 1000% or more. Effects were engineered and designed to work as well as they needed to. They didn't need to stand up to intense scrutiny.

You could get away with the flying horse in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. There's a reason why it hasn't been upgraded to blu-ray. It would look too shabby. That film's been denigrated enough.

Blu-rays reveal the flaws of the source. And at a certain point you get diminishing returns. The beginning 15 minutes of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Oddysey appearing to be shot on the veldt of prehistoric Africa was actually shot on a soundstage with large front-projection screens behind the rocks and the men-in-suits.  On a large screen it's entirely convincing, as is the small cut-ins of people moving in the windows of the model spaceships on the moon.

Yet, finally, on the beautiful blu-ray I recently acquired (what could go wrong?) there are clear panels marring the prehistoric sky. The resolution of the blu-ray reveals the folds in the fabric that is hanging behind the sets; the clear "sheetiness" of it, hell, I swear, even the remnants of old western landscapes that seem to have been painted over or obscured that would have been, at most, a blurry trace when filmed and projected.

Deep and nuanced and not quite visible, like the past it depicts.

The tolerances built into the old systems have been decalibrated and the nuances are now hammer blows. The film, so much of its time (1968) is built as best it could be then, with paper cut-outs and fake backgrounds.

A blu-ray upgrade has made me strangely sad.

Your Classic Sunset

Here is your SkyWatch image.

Well Ok not your normal classic sunset image, but it's one of my sunset images in good old black and white. ( what else is there ? )

This shows Clew Bay and the Nephin Beg Range across the bay. It was taken from the beach at Old Head in Westport during a wonderful sunset.

I believe that Westport is my next trip away at the end of the month. I will be looking for a few more different locations along the wonderful coastline of Co Mayo to add to my collection. Sunsets like this one will not be available as its a different time of the year and the sun will be setting in a different position.

We don’t know about you, but at the end of a long day, the last thing we want to do is think about making lunch for the next day. A flavour packed office lunch is something we all crave, but sadly isn’t something that happens on the regular. Thankfully, Pavé Lunch Experts in Old Montreal has made lunching on the go easier and tastier than ever.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 7

Pavé Lunch Experts opened on rue Notre-Dame in 2011 with one goal in mind: feeding downtown Montreal top-quality sandwiches at amazing prices. Now, they offer a variety of gourmet sandwiches, naanwiches, wraps, pizzas, and more! Each meal also comes with a hearty soup, salad, or chips and a drink for only an extra $2! The prices are really unbeatable, and the flavours are out of this world.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 6

The menu at Pavé Lunch Experts is so unique compared to what you would find at your usual chain restaurants. The flavours are explosive, and they have plenty of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options to feed everyone’s needs. What really makes the difference is the quality of Pavé’s ingredients, from vegetable grain-fed chicken to antibiotic-free pork. Most importantly, almost everything is sourced from Montreal-based businesses. The majority of their freshest vegetables come right from de la Commune Market, and the ciabatta and gluten-free breads are baked here in Montreal. Even the beer is from here! When you choose Pavé Lunch Experts, you’re supporting local businesses from all over the city.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 4

One of our favourite things about Pavé is how easy it is to grab lunch on the go, because waiting in a food court line that takes up half your lunch break is the absolute worst. With their online ordering system, you can place your order, pay in advance, and set your pickup time so your delicious food is ready to go. If you’re located in the Downtown or Southwest areas, they even deliver your food right to you! Delivery fees vary from just $3-$5 depending on your location.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 8

Of course, we had to try as many delicious lunch options as we could. We started off our meal with a rich, flavourful carrot-ginger soup, and then sampled Pavé’s wide array of salads. We tried the Lubnaniyah salad with avocado, hardboiled egg, and bagel chips, the Peru salad with quinoa and goat cheese, and the Quebec salad with apples and walnuts. The flavour combinations were unreal, and the quality of the ingredients made these salads taste luxe. The salads range from around $10-$14, making eating healthy an easy choice.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 9

We then dove in to Pavé’s award-winning sandwiches. The first one we tried was a Pavé Bogota: a fresh ciabatta bun stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, zucchini, and sweet jalapeño jelly. We also added some mozzarella to bring some cheesy goodness to a vegan classic. We had to try one of their famous naanwiches. We decided to go for the Coronado: a classic BLT with avocado, chicken breast, and basil pesto all sandwiched into a slice of naan. We took advantage of the customizing options and again added some goat cheese (because who doesn’t love goat cheese). Again, the sandwiches range from around $9-$14.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 2

Of course, we couldn’t walk out the door without trying a dessert. We went with the chef’s recommendation, which was a flourless chocolate cake. It was everything we needed to satisfy our sweet tooth: decadent, chocolatey, and gooey. We washed it down with a cappuccino.

pave lunch experts montreal restaurant 3

So when making your lunch for the next day just isn’t an option, Pavé Lunch Experts have got you more than covered. Visit them Monday to Saturday from 11am to 3pm. Happy lunchin’!

Shop update

Hello, I've had a little price rearrange in the shop, I think some things were a bit too much and everything has been in there a while so I guess you could call it a sale, any way just to let everyone know.

  1. Let me first say that I am encouraged by the upward trend in swiss replica watches. When the Apple Watch was debuted, conservative voices from all around the world and omega replica watches the internet immediately decried smartwatches as a futile exercise that would fail and rolex replica that Apple was stupid for putting so much stock behind them. I do hope those people have learned their lesson, because while the smartwatch industry is still very much in its infancy, sales are good, products are getting better and better, and fake breitling people are certainly wearing Apple Watches, Android Wear watches, and tag heuer replica others which will herald in a new era of what the "watch" means to the mainstream consumer.

Reno Newborn Photographer | Reagan

Reno Newborn Photographer | Reagan

Reagan was the sweetest little newborn girl ever! She was cuddly and squishy and was amazing during her session. Usually during newborn sessions I request that parents bring a pacifier even if their babies won’t take them for mom and dad. Some times these sweet new babies need a a little something to distract them and get them back into that deep sleep and pacifiers almost always do the trick! And because I am not mom they are more than happy to take one from me. Sweet little Reagan never needed  a pacifier during any part of her session. I was shocked! She was great at soothing herself and a little cuddling did the trick for her. I love being able to see all the different personalities that these newborns have when they come to have their pictures taken. Each newborn is so unique. The great part is usually when they come back to see me for their sitter session or their cake smash their little personalities are about the same just in a grander scale. I love it!

I really loved the colors that mom picked for Reagan’s pictures. Its not very often that I get to use baby blue for a little girl. I LOVE baby blue for newborn girls. It is so dainty and sweet and can be paired with pink and any other traditional girlie color. Its so much fun.

Ushio (6925): Long and Strong

Ushio’s full-year results and forecasts were released today after market. The firm held a results meeting as well which had a positive tone. Results were relatively inline while forecasts for FY3/14 were far above expectations. Ushio’s OP forecast for FY3/14 is Y12.5bn versus our Y10.9bn and consensus’ Y9.7bn. OP forecast is 28% over the consensus forecast on Bloomberg. Q4 OP was Y2.1bn, slightly better than our Y1.9bn estimate, but under the firm’s original guidance of Y2.6bn.

 FY3/14e, ¥mn Ushio BLBG Us vs. BLBG     vs. Us
Revenues 160,000 147,156 154,474 8.7% 3.6%
Operating profit 12,500 9,741 10,850 28.3% 15.2%
Net profit 10,000 7,035 8,054 42.1% 24.2%

We believe the market should react positively to the bullish forecast, since the stock has underperformed the market over the past year despite the recent outperformance. Further, Ushio is assuming Y90 to the $USD for FY3/14, which gives them about Y8 cushion, or Y1.6bn in OP at current exchange rates.

The tone of the meeting was positive overall as most areas are slated to grow in FY3/14. By product, lamp sales were stronger than equipment sales, owing to buoyancy in digital cinema projector (DCP) lamps. UV lamps for LCD/semiconductor litho were under par. Most of the main equipment such as DCP, LCD-related gear, chip/LED-related gear, etc. were sluggish.

However, in FY3/14, Ushio expects a sharp recovery in equipment sales, +14% YoY, aided by a recovery in LCD and semiconductor equipment. Lamp sales are slated to rise 6% YoY boosted by UV lamps, cinema lamps, and halogen lamps.

Ushio also announced it will sell its EUV service business to customer ASML and discontinue R&D into EUV light sources. Its subsidiary Xtreme Technologies competes with Cymer, which was recently acquired by leading semiconductor lithography equipment maker ASML, thus symbolizing an endorsement of Cymer’s EUV technology. Ushio will gain cost savings in both fixed costs and variable costs as 30 staff in their German facility will be shifted under ASML’s umbrella. Although the termination of this business is disappointing, it does reduce future risk of high R&D costs as well as lowering current costs.

How To: Flowered Tips (VIDEO)

Get the Most Popular Mstars News

You'll be looking garden fresh with this manicure.

To begin this look, make sure your nails are clean and filed to a rounded tip. Feel free to shape your nails in your preferred style.

Once filed, coat your nails with a base polish. This can be a strengthening base coat or your favorite clear polish. I chose to begin using OPI's Nail Envy after hearing rave reviews online. You can get this polish at any beauty supply like Ulta or Sally Beauty Supply.

Choose a green polish and use the brush as a tool to assist with your green tip. I used NYC's High Line Green. Then use a dotting tool to paint on a stem from this tip for your flower to stand on.

You can get creative with this next step by choosing different colors for your flower. I went with Brucci's Bare Essentials with a center color of Revlon's ColorStay in Delicious.

Using a dotting tool, create base petals. Connect the dots to create a flowered effect. Wait for this layer to dry before moving on.

Again, using a dotting tool you're going to do the same process as before, but within the first flower.

To finish this flower, add a dot of gold nail polish in the center or the "eye" of the flower. I used Essence's Breaking Dawn collection in A Piece of Forever.
