Recently the Chicago Sun Times did a survey of the top 10 classic Chicago foods that tourists wanted to sample during their visit to Chicago. Several of the items were the food groups that Chicago is best known for: deep dish pizza, Chicago hot dogs and italian beef sandwiches.
Of the branded food items, one was Eli's Cheesecake and another was Frango Mints. For that reason, we were very excited when we were given the opportunity by Federated Department Stores, the owner of Macy's, Marshall
Field's and Bloomingdale's, to create a Frango Mint Cheesecake made by Eli's in Chicago that would combine two of Chicago's most famous foods.
The Frango Cheesecake by Eli's made its public debut on Thursday, July 14th at a luncheon meeting of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association which featured Federated Chairman, CEO and President Terry Lundgren.
We were delighted that his remarks began with a reference to the dessert that the over 400 guests in attendance enjoyed which was our Frango Mint Cheesecake served by the chefs at the Hyatt Regency Chicago with rasberry coulis, fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
The Frango Cheesecake by Eli's will be making its debut at the flagship State Street Store which is being rebranded as Macy's in early September. We look forward to the Frango expanding to other Macy's stores in the midwest and then throughout the country as Frango is expanded to those other markets. As Mr. Lundgren note, the new Macy's will have over 800 stores making it the first national brand department store in the country. We are honored that Eli's can be part of the Frango and Chicago story and that we look forward to growing with Macy's.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'helper' tag.
I used to be Amazonian. Before giving myself time to even think it through, I used to mount my white charger, standards blazing, and go tearing into the fray, my good intentions a shield at my side and my determination to help a gleaming sword in my hand. In other words, I liked to fix things for people. A lot.
It was reflexive. I was the oldest child, and with that, generally, comes an implicit expectation and responsibility for your younger siblings. I always like to joke that I had the misfortune to be saddled with a sister who didn't know when to shut her mouth, and a brother who wouldn't open his, and so I became the Valkyrie of the back of the bus, sweeping in to save them from themselves (whether they needed it or not).
This picture of me is somewhat misleading, though. I brought a book with me where ever I went. Each bus ride found me curled up in the seat, absorbed in the adventures of whomever I was currently journeying along with……until I heard trouble. I'd pop up, put the kibosh on it, and sit back down, knowing that once I ended it, it was ended.
The trouble was, I didn't stop charging in once our bus riding days were over. And I carried that behavior into other relationships with friends and significant others. It's one thing to bail your sib out of trouble when they're getting hassled on the bus (or when they're hassling someone else…). It is entirely another when you grow up and get older and the problems we face grow in proportion and magnitude. My do-gooder ways were not helping me, or anyone else, ironically enough. I took too much of it on, and invested too much time, energy, and emotion in other people's stuff. And, every time I charged in, with an "I know just what you should do" and a dose of determination, it told them that I didn't think they had the chops to handle their own stuff….which wasn't true, and didn't serve them, either.
And so, I decided to stop…with varying degrees of success. There are still some days where it takes a deliberate and conscious force of will to say, "You know what to do. You've got this handled, and I know that you're going to be just fine," instead of offering them a plan of action and a way to move through it. I can feel myself stop my tongue in its tracks before it can get away from me and offer help to someone who doesn't need it. I can feel myself reminding me why I can't let myself get so involved, why I can't take on others' worries, why this hasn't worked out so well for anyone in the past.
Other days, it's easier to remember why I decided to hang up that shield and sword for everyday use. Why I decided to keep them around for special occasions, for the times when it might be necessary to pull 'em out and put 'em on and go charging in. I've seen what happens when I just offer an ear and a word of encouragement, instead of a plan of attack and a strong sword arm – they are just fine. They figure it out and make choices and they are just fine without me charging in. Or they're not, and they learn from it, so that next time, they will be fine.
I wouldn't say that I've got this totally in the bag. I'll probably fight this impulse on and off throughout my life. That's okay, though – the desire to help, to be of service is a part of who I am, and it's not an altogether bad thing when channeled into the appropriate avenues.
Sweeping in from the wings to save people from themselves only sets you up to be their savior from here on out. Once they see that you're doing it for them, they don't do it for themselves. It's human nature to take the easiest road (so how'd I get to be such a freaking anomaly, hunh?). I'm learning that it's far more satisfying to stand back and watch the people I love triumph on their own, to watch them hammer out their own sword and shield and fling themselves into the fray of their own lives with a glory that I couldn't have dreamt of for them.
In the meanwhile, I'm learning to keep that Amazonian energy for myself. To channel that fire and passion into my own life, to change my own landscape, to build my own empires. To use that sword to cut away what no longer serves me, and that shield to shelter me from the crapstorms life flings my way. To be my own champion, first.

Serving the Public Since 1917
In 1913, a construction foreman named Sam Howell was murdered during a payroll robbery in Westchester County. Because Westchester County was a very rural area then, there was no local police department and Mr. Howell's murderers escaped, even though he identified them before he died.
This vicious crime spurred Mr. Howell's employer, Moyca Newell (left) and her friend, Katherine Mayo (right), to initiate a movement to form a State Police department to provide police protection to rural areas.
As a result of their efforts, the State Legislature established the New York State Police as a full service police agency on April 11, 1917.
Since the first 232 men rode out of their training camp on horseback to begin patrolling rural areas, troopers have been there to fulfill the law enforcement needs of the people of New York State with the highest degree of fairness, professionalism and integrity.

U.S. stocks fell Thursday, after a three-day advance in the Standard & Poor�s 500 Index, as Google Inc. pulled down technology shares after reporting third-quarter profit and sales that missed estimates.
Google dropped 7.6 percent after the earnings report was filed inadvertently during regular trading hours. Technology shares had the biggest decline among 10 groups in the S&P 500. Philip Morris International Inc. dropped 3.9 percent as earnings trailed analysts� estimates. Travelers Cos. gained 3.7 percent as earnings more than doubled on lower claims costs tied to natural disasters.
The S&P 500 fell 0.2 percent to 1,457.78 at 3:39 p.m. in New York. The index gained as much as 0.2 percent earlier as a rise in jobless claims was offset by better-than-estimated data on leading indicators and Philadelphia manufacturing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 16.16 points, or 0.1 percent, to 13,540.84 today. The Nasdaq-100 Index tumbled 1.1 percent to 2,745.60. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 14 percent above the 30-day average at this time of day.
�Google failed to meet expectations and then also mistakenly released in the middle of the day,� Giri Cherukuri, a portfolio manager for Oakbrook Investments LLC, which manages $3 billion, said in a telephone interview. �Google is a big company and on top of the fact that they missed estimates, they talked about advertising in the online world not doing as well as previously thought.�
Google Halted
Google tumbled 7.6 percent to $698.24. Trading in the stock was halted at about 12:50 p.m. New York time, and resumed at 3:20 p.m. after the company released a finalized version of its earnings document. The company said R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. released a draft of the quarterly results without permission.
Google�s profit and sales missed analysts� estimates, a sign that its tools are becoming less valuable to advertisers while costs associated with expansion into new businesses are chipping away at profitability. The average amount advertisers paid each time a user clicks on a promotion declined about 15 percent from a year earlier, and was 3 percent less than the prior period.
Technology shares slid 1.5 percent as a group in the S&P 500. Apple Inc. slid 1.8 percent to $632.79. International Business Machines Corp. dropped 3.2 percent to $194.26.AOL Inc. dropped 1.7 percent to $36.45. Online-coupon provider Groupon Inc. slipped 3.2 percent to $4.92. Facebook Inc., the world�s most popular social-networking service, lost 4.3 percent to $19.02.
Jobless Claims
�The downward move in the market is more a result of the fundamentals,� Walter Todd, who oversees about $940 million as chief investment officer of Greenwood Capital in Greenwood, said in a phone interview. �The fact that it was released early, it exacerbates the dynamic but I don�t think we would have fallen any less if the numbers had come out after the market.�
U.S. stocks slumped early in the trading day as Labor Department figures showed more Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, reflecting an unwinding of adjustments for seasonal swings at the start of a quarter.
Equities pared declines as the index of U.S. leading economic indicators rose in September by the most in seven months, boosted in part by a jump in permits for home construction that�s helping underpin the expansion.
Philadelphia Expands
Manufacturing in the Philadelphia region expanded in October for the first time in six months, a sign the industry may be starting to stabilize. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia�s general economic index rose to 5.7 in October from minus 1.9 in September. A reading of zero is the dividing line between expansion and contraction in the area covering eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware.
�The market is digesting some strong gains earlier in the week and the disappointing jobless claims number,� Jim Russell, the Cincinnati-based chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which oversees about $113 billion, said in a phone interview. �The data cadence is two steps forward, one step back right now with a positive bias. It does appear as if things are firming up at the margin for the U.S. economy and the Philly Fed report confirms that.�
Economic issues including jobs are central to the race for the American presidency. Gallup�s daily tracking of registered voters conducted Oct. 10 through Oct. 16 showed President Barack Obama with 46 percent and Republican challenger Mitt Romney with 48 percent support. The margin of error is two percentage points.
Election Uncertainty
�Everything seems paused until we get clarity on the election since there are a lot of economic policy issues that need to be resolved before the end of the year,� Thomas Nyheim, a Wilmington, Delaware-based fund manager for Christiana Trust, which oversees about $13 billion, said in a telephone interview.
The S&P 500 has rallied 16 percent so far this year as economic data topped estimates, companies posted better-than- expected earnings and the Fed announced a third round of bond purchases.
As many as 28 companies listed on the S&P 500 release results today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Of the 95 companies in the benchmark index that have reported since Oct. 9, 70 posted earnings that exceeded analyst estimates, while 23 missed them, the data showed.
Less Smoking
Philip Morris International, the world�s largest publicly traded tobacco company, dropped 3.9 percent to $88.24. The maker of Marlboro cigarettes posted third-quarter profit that trailed analysts� estimates. European Union nations facing a debt crisis and high unemployment saw smokers cut back or switch to contraband cigarettes or roll-your-own varieties. Sales in the region slipped 15 percent in the third quarter.
Morgan Stanley slipped 4 percent to $17.76 even after the sixth-largest U.S. bank reported third-quarter results that beat analysts� estimates, as revenue from fixed-income trading almost doubled from the second quarter. Morgan Stanley had a loss of $1.01 billion, or 55 cents a share.
Boston Scientific Corp. fell 4.1 percent to $5.39. The heart-device maker lowered its forecast for full-year revenue to no more $7.24 billion from a previous range of $7.2 billion to $7.4 billion. Analysts on average estimated $7.26 billion in sales for the year.
Travelers climbed 3.7 percent to $74.03 for the biggest gain in the Dow. Chief Executive Officer Jay Fishman, 59, has bought back shares, raised rates for coverage and changed policy terms to improve shareholder returns as near record-low interest rates pressure income from the investment portfolio.
Natural Disasters
Property-casualty insurers have benefited from fewer natural disasters this year after record losses in 2011. Allstate Corp., the largest publicly traded U.S. home and auto insurer, advanced 1.7 percent to $42.57 today. Chubb Corp., which competes with Travelers selling commercial coverage, jumped 2.9 percent to $81.12. Ace Ltd. gained 2.8 percent to $81.52.
EBay Inc. rallied 5.5 percent to $50.83, the highest level since 2005. The world�s largest online marketplace rose the most in three months after third-quarter results fueled optimism that the company�s turnaround is gathering steam. Chief Executive Officer John Donahoe has been spending money on mobile technology, marketing campaigns and a website redesign, seeking to vault the company beyond its roots in Internet auctions.
MGM Resorts International jumped 2.4 percent to $11.18. MGM China Holdings Ltd., a venture between Pansy Ho and MGM Resorts, won a land grant to develop a second casino resort in Macau. The approval allows MGM China to build on the city�s increasingly popular Cotai strip, where the operator doesn�t have a presence.
Lam Research Corp. rose 7.8 percent to $36.19 for the biggest gain in the S&P 500. The chip-equipment manufacturer reported first-quarter earnings that beat analyst estimates.

The popular cheap-as-chips Zen Stone/Zen Stone Plus are set for an upgrade this year. The V2.0 devices will have an integrated mono speaker—pretty exciting, eh? Check out the gallery for some shots of the new MP3 players.
The Zen Stone of old will now be available in blue, pink, champagne and black colors, as well as in 1GB or 2GB flavors, and besides the novelty speaker, not much has changed. The Zen Stone Plus will also get the mono speaker treatment. The higher end models will be available, as before, with an integrated FM radio, voice recording capability, OLED screen and in either 2GB or 4GB varieties.
The new players will ship with a silicon skin; a sports armband and carry case keychain will be available separately. According to the CEO of Creative "It's hard to believe that such incredibly small players can have a speaker that sounds so good..." Beyond possible, we would have to say. The 1GB model will ship this February in Japan, retailing at 4,980 yen ($48.) Further pricing and shipping dates are not available at present. [Creative]

Jenny Gore is the short-tempered daughter of John Gore. When angry she can be more frightening than a pack of giant furries!
While all the animation is done we're not completely finished with her and this is where you can help! Jenny needs a voice. User "Mat_rix_007" over at toucharcade.com suggested Rina-Chan as the voice actress and I quite like her work: http://suzumiya-haruhi.net/
So let's hear it, who would be the perfect voice actress for Jenny?
There's this cool browser based game called Minecraft and I decided to do official John Gore skin for it:
If someone else has been infected with Minecraft fever here's the texture file which let's you run around as mr Gore: http://www.mountainsheep.net/minigore/MinecraftJohnGore.png

My attempt to keep chickens.Start your own thread and let us follow you through the year
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi , Often think I should get a camera on the room.
It started off as keeping him quite but now he expects a cuddle and does not stop crowing till he gets his way.
I also think he is pulling my leg on limping as he can do a pretty good dance for his girl.
More worried about when I go on night shift as he will wake the street up.
Thinking of taking him to work and let him sleep in the cat bed.
I never believed chickening keeping would led me to this place for sure.
Al said and done love the little devil to bits.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , well same story with a end twist . The little devil 2.30am slept through to 5.30 , crowed like a upset kid. Got dressed and sat down with him on my leg and he shut his eyes and went to sleep. Had to go to work so put back with Bop Bop (nelly ) and crowed as if his life was at stake waking the boys in garden who joined in .
I think he is asserting himself as the ex boss of the flocks.
Cannot believe a chicken can become a house pet , dominating everything around .
Chicken day today , cleaning , checking them out and spoiling them a lot.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
And we thought the girls were bad enough, but they boys have even more tricks up their sleeves!

Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi Champ insisted that Bop -Bop aka Nelly joined him last night . slept all the way through till 4.30am with the occasional flap of wings from Bop-Bop.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Sounds like you have definitely got a "House Chicken". With all this preferential treatment he will be demanding his own bed in your bedroom and the chicken coop will be a thing of the past. Unless of course he demands his own room with his name on the door!!!
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , it seems most of my chicken activities is night work lately.
Got my van back yesterday wing repaired , not happy but I will get over it.
Champ went into his cat bed in his cage . Bop-Bop AKA Nelly did not . All quite .11.00pm bed 2,30 He woke me up . Back on the bed. Quite as a mouse . 4.30 am back at it as alarm went off . Sit on my lap whilst having a quick coffee , shuts up and shuts his eyes and drops off. Tried to get him back in cage and all hell lets loose .
I just shut the door and run for work . What I cannot hear cannot hurt me (till I get home.)
Fun next couple of days
Have 2 cats for jabs health check, Harley leg / lump check , 2 chickens , try and take Goldie 2 as well.
Imagine that lot in tow .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , BHT 3rd Feb cage birds rescue , 6 ordered Essex.
Time to save some girls (ex hard working ) .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , 2.30 again and a lay in till 6.45am . I should rename him little S...
Took him to the vets for sychoanalasiss . All he got was his photo taken . Bop Bop aka Nelly disgraced her self twice ,did not stop her eating the mealworms , foot long watery squirt strait across 2 chairs.
She has had her staples out , keeping (Most annoying ) Champ company still for another week . Foot healing but still needs a little longer before he goes back to proper fighting as against shadow dancing through wire and glass door . He certainly wants a piece of the new boys .
7 eggs today , 1 blue , 1 lit al n 1 white the rest lovely brown.
flock happy . 4 new cage girls arriving on the 3rd Feb.
Best news still is no bird flu in Britain (yet).
Cats /dog next Wed 11.00am
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all, First report of bird flu -Weymouth .
Today let Champ out and Bop Bop aka Nelly. Interesting . Champ has not changed ,taking on two at a time of the new boys . Tag teaming him . Put him back in the coop and run spare . Bop Bop was on her own , presume she was looking for him and the three new boys was getting very interested in her , so put her back with Champ. maybe I will get her friend to go in with her . Put them back in the dog cage tonight. Noisy boys , as all in garden . looks like I will have to get the coops all ship shape for the on coming winter months as lock downs maybe be coming soon.
Hope all is well in flocks and lives . Seems the holidays are over and back at work and not much time for writing on here . Sandy hope you are well .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all ,
Well Champ and Bop -Bop are now out in the garden spare coop . Champ was really good on Sat , trouble was Bop-Bop decided to join in the dawn singing as she laid her first egg for me in the dog cage , moult finally over and looking pretty as they do . Trouble there was she let the world know and sang the I just laid an egg song at 6.30 am .
To the back ground of I am a wake by Desmond and backing group the three musketeers... That is going to be the new boys names as it seems that they are going to stay longer than I planned or hope for.
So egg count is going up now and the kitchen is going to be back to normal and chicken flooring will not be kicked all over the kitchen. Taken 1 dustbin , 2 green sack bags I sand bag (fork lift twice , two times this week to work for the orchard / veg patch at work.
Holiday left overs gone and up to date with coop cleaning . Going to reduce the run flooring as well over the next week ,must be a good 4 inches of sawdust and dirt to clear .
Not sure what to do about Champ as not willing to let him take on the new boys as vet bills are not wanted .
Bop-Bop is now ok and wandering if I should put Blondie her friend in with Champ for extra company , enough room there for her .
Nights next week so still plenty of time to sort out the garden and flocks.
Little concerned about Sandy as not been on here of late .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , well another egg from Bop-Bop aka Nelly . 10 eggs today.
Champ has now settled down as he has 2 hens to look after . Bop-Bop and a woo .
( I have 3 woos now )
3 musketeers are still fighting the Desmond , Capt. Chaos , Champ as well.
Going away for a weekend and having a thought on how to house the flock , Cannot all stay in one run now so maybe 3 runs are needed .
Very pretty flock , only one girl still feathers missing , not including Baldy the no feathered reared hen , best mates of Desmond . He is a very lucky boy as he has a least half a dozen hens pecking his neck collar.
Slept till 8.00am this am what a luxury , I honestly thought a fox had killed them all it was so quite.
Needless to say they soon noticed I was in the kitchen and they called me out.
Good clean out weekend .
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
How come Champ has ended up with a woo? It's good to hear his leg is mending well

Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi Karen, Bop-Bop came from Colchester , 3 friends Blondie a spec and a Woo.
I caught the Woo and thought a friend would keep her company . I let the threesome out in the morning for a stretch before the flock are.
She still try`s to go in the main coop . She and Bop-Bop are the sol attention of the musketeers and they are not at all cavalier in the way they go about it . Champ is a real gentleman and offers them his food . Pretty quiet at the moment and the flock has settled down for the cold nights and mornings .
Bird flu was on Radio 4 today . interesting , the flocks are still free ranging and waiting for the shut down should it happen.
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
All those woos at your place! when you call them it must sound like a train's coming!
"He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."
--Immanuel Kant
Re: My attempt to keep chickens.
Hi all , Well bird flu is here . Batten down your hatches . All England is now under cover like last year . Had to happen . Flock is not going to be happy about this at all.
Now put a damp squid on my planned weekend away next week .
Hope they don't get to stroppy . My now concern is the three musketeers in a small house . Also Champ and his girls in the spare . Maybe I can put them in the main run like Champ used to be , trouble there is Captain Chaos has taken over one half of the run (cockerel a dood1e Hall ) and Desmond has the rest. May have to let him sort the pair out . 9 eggs today.
This is going to be more painful for humans than the flock as the noise of let us out will be louder than a protest outside the US embassy during the Vietnam war .... There is a memory.
Well all good except that yesterday I was going to take 2 cats and Harley my dog to the vets . I caught the cats Lexi escaped and disappeared over the fences so got left behind. Harley had a lump bio opsi and blood tests waiting for results . Not fatty so could be bad news . Either way 200 pounds later and still a cat to get jabbed and a bill like elastic to come . Metacam prescribed for legs which will be every day .
I hate to think how much I pay out in vet bills a year but would be thousands . SHMBO cat is waiting to wee in a litter tray so she can be checked out as needs a skin graft on neck . Throw in the money given to the wild animal hospital every time I take some creature in for help.
Hence when I get pulled for a charity I say honestly I give enough .
Only one girl with rear feathers missing except Baldy she rarely gets feathers on her rear end.
Hope you get bye with this bird flu again.

Do we know there's definitely a second Yogyakarta leg? They could just be sending them somewhere before leaving, like they used to do all the time in the earlier seasons.
(Does anyone know how to insert HTML in the new forum?)
Red means arrivals??
Neobie, correct me if I'm off, each date line represents who is on the move to what destination for the indicated leg. There is an implied timeframe of operations for Teams on the move that can extend across the dateline since not all Teams are moving at the same time. And there is also the timespan of the movement itself that can be a few hours to a day and a half for some travels.

Russell selected EIVA Offensive Player of the Week
Russell selected EIVA Offensive Player of the Week
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- After helping the No. 12 Penn State men's volleyball team (19-6, 10-1) to a 2-0 weekend, senior Peter Russell has earned his first conference honor of the 2014 season, as he has been selected as the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week.
Russell recorded back-to-back double-digit kill performances in a pair of important road matches last weekend. Against No. 15 Harvard, he finished second on the squad with 14 kills and four digs before posting 10 kills and six digs at Sacred Heart. He concluded the week with a team-high .373 hitting clip, while also ranking second on the squad with 4.00 kills per set.
Russell's honor marks the third consecutive week that the Nittany Lions gave garnered weekly conference recognition.
This weekend, Russell and the rest of the Penn State men's volleyball team travel to Saint Francis for a midday matchup in Loretto, Pa. The Nittany Lions and the Red Flash square off Saturday, April 12 at 2 p.m. Having already clinched one of three EIVA tournament spots, Penn State needs to win one of its last three matches to earn the No. 1 seed in the upcoming event. A win against Saint Francis would potentially clinch a home court advantage for the Nittany Lions.

A measure to help people get health insurance retroactive to Jan. 1, if problems with a state website kept them from doing so will be taking effect.
Gov. Martin O'Malley is scheduled to sign emergency legislation on Thursday in Annapolis to put it into effect immediately.
The measure will enable people who couldn't get through to enroll in Maryland health exchange insurance to be insured by the Maryland Health Insurance Plan. The program is a separate safety net plan that has served as a high-risk pool for state residents without insurance.
Supporters of the bill say it's more of a backup plan. That's because exchange insurers extended a deadline to give more people a chance to get insured retroactively. That deadline was last week.

From Southern California cities to Washington, D.C., the campaign to increase the minimum wage is getting maximum exposure these days.
President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress want to increase the national minimum from $7.25 an hour to $10.10. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the City Council is studying a proposal by three members to expand L.A.'s minimum-wage laws by requiring $15.37 an hour for employees of local hotels with more than 100 rooms. And in Long Beach, the City Council voted last month to raise the bottom rate to $13.26 an hour for contracted workers at the airport and convention center — though for many, the law wouldn't begin to pay off until 2022.
Any of those new minimums would leapfrog California's minimum, scheduled to rise from $8 to $9 in July and $10 in 2016.
Our Question of the Week for readers is: What, if anything, should be done about the minimum wage?
Looking past the array of numbers being proposed, the issues are pretty basic. Generally, liberals favor a higher minimum, saying it would lift millions of Americans out of poverty, boosting the economy with their new spending power; liberals say people doing honest, full-time work should be rewarded with at least a "living wage." Generally, conservatives say a higher minimum would end up hurting workers and consumers in the long run because higher costs would force employers to cut jobs and raise prices.
But some conservatives do favor a higher minimum. Ron Unz, a former candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is pushing a ballot initiative for a $12 state minimum. Unz argues higher wages would reduce the need for undocumented-immigrant labor and safety-net programs that conservatives dislike.
Would the good outweigh the bad, or vice versa? Is a minimum-wage hike the way to ease poverty? Do you like the plans recently passed or proposed, or do you have other specific ideas?
Send your thoughts to email@example.com. Please include your full name and city or community of residence. Also, provide a daytime phone number.

Browsing the App Store can be a bit overwhelming. Which apps are new? Which ones are good? Are the paid ones worth paying for, or do they have a free, lite version that will work well enough?
Well, if you stop interrogating me for a second, hypothetical App Store shopper, I can tell you about this thing we do here.
Every week, we highlight some of the most interesting new apps and collect them here for your consideration. This time, our picks include _____, _____, and _____.
Here you go:
This new self-improvement app from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance has a simple premise: Trying to do everything is hard, but doing one thing isn't.
Sounds obvious, but what you do here is select a few habits you'd like to form; pre-loaded examples include drinking more water, inviting friends over, and going to bed early. You can also devise your own if you want to do something that isn't on the list. The app sets goals, and you check them off when you do them. Eventually, you can "commit" to doing a thing without prompting and start on something else.

I know that your iPhone already has a calculator in it, but here's a specialty app for people who suffer from the curse of Man Thumbs.
SwipyCalc is a basic calculator that gives all the screen space to the numbers. Only the numbers. You enter your basic functions — adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing — with swipes in one of four directions. It's fast and easy, especially once you realize that the comma in the lower left corner is what you use for a decimal point.
Unless you're in one of the 60+ countries that uses the decimal comma. That won't slow you down at all.

Spring is here, and–holy crap, do you see that bird? No, the other bird. It's over by the tree. No, the tree by the shrub. Yeah. That bird there. Do we have those here, or is it some kind of bird-stranger?
Local Birds will help keep inane, interminable thought processes like that one from happening. You tell it your location, and it shows you birds in order of commonality to your region. So when I told people the other day that I saw a Western Scrub Jay, and they were like, "Nuh-uh," and I was all, "Uh-huh"?
I can totally prove that that was possible now.

This isn't the most practical app for everyone, but it's certainly interesting to look at.
Re(play) features six clips of athletes being all athletic and stuff. High-speed cameras captured the footage at 236 frames per second, and you can either watch the maneuvers play out or scrub back and forth to study the movements in detail. That could be nice for people studying movement for art or animation.
But even if you don't have any professional or artistic need for Re(play), it's really just kind of hypnotic to watch.
I don't know if I'm just ridiculously clumsy or what, but I've had times where I saw something happening that I wanted to record, and by the time I got my camera app up and switched over to video, that thing had stopped happening. And regret is a powerful thing.
So Blink (or [Blink], if you're super fancy) is a new app that starts recording the instant you open it; it also lets you take still photos while capturing with a single button press. And that's slightly faster than opening your iPhone's camera and then fumbling my stupid, giant thumb around trying to switch to video.
I feel like the black-and-white parts of an infomercial when that happens.


text: This Candle Holdem USB holder is one of those designs that really isn't necessary, but is so cool we'd go out of our way to make use of them. It's essentially a key hook set for your USB drives that holds five and lights up when they're plugged in. Plug in all five and you've got a makeshift candleabra, which we first thought were little space invaders. If anyone ever made something like this, we'd be on it faster than Master Chief on Cortana (if she were real). [Yanko Design]

Ye Olde Republic wrote:Your 'Big Grey Walls' work for me. It's a small enough creation and there is enough interesting-ness built into them that the sterility is really, really striking. I'm not usually one to go ga-ga about tiling battlements and such but I'm glad you went that way as the studs probably would have been a strange texture on the textureless walls. Is it just me or are your inner hoardings five and a half studs deep?

SUNY Canton SBDC to Present Solutions to Energy Challenges, July 28Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Tax incentives and low-cost loans are available for business owners
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at SUNY Canton will be helping business owners adapt to a completely new set of energy demands through their upcoming seminar "Energy Challenges and Solutions for Business in the 21st Century."
The seminar will be held in conjunction with the North Country SBDC in Plattsburgh at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 28, at ComLinks located at 343 West Main Street in Malone. Seminar speakers will outline the opportunities to adopt renewable energy systems and creating energy efficient business models. The event is free and open to the public.
The New York State SBDC, in partnership with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the New York Business Development Corporation (NYBDC), has formulated an Energy Savings Program that will encourage business owners to implement energy efficiencies that will allow their firms to compete on a favorable basis in a global economy.
Seminar speakers Anthony Presti, Program Coordinator for the SBDC's Energy Savings Program, and NYSERDA representatives will detail measures which, when implemented, will produce maximum savings for the business owner.
Business owners will learn how they can work with NYSERDA and SBDC Advisors to: implement energy efficiency projects; secure the financing to achieve energy efficiency or even to build green buildings; evaluate other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind; improve environmental performance by being greener; evaluate energy efficiency opportunities in all areas; and improve their bottom line.
Under the Energy Savings Program, an SBDC advisor reviews the NYSERDA suggested efficiencies with the business owner to analyze the potential savings of implementing the changes. Eligibility is open to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as industrial and commercial facilities and the New York State SBDC will subsidize one half of the cost of the NYSERDA review for the first 100 statewide clients of the program.
There is no charge for the program, but pre-registration is required. Contact the Canton Small Business Development Center at: 315-386-7312 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to register and to obtain up-to-date information.
The Canton and North Country SBDCs work one-on-one in a confidential setting with emerging, existing, and expanding entrepreneurs. SBDC staff members provide these services at no cost to clients in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Warren, and St. Lawrence counties. The Canton and North Country SBDCs are part of a statewide program funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the State of New York. Visit the North Country SBDC online at www.NorthCountrySBDC.org or the Canton SBDC online at www.canton.edu/sbdc.
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs, as well as three master's degrees in conjunction with SUNYIT, Utica. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The College's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years. Construction is now underway for the College's new Convocation, Athletic, and Recreation Center.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

Good Vs Great Design Quotes
Good Design Quotes or Great Design Quotes? What About Good Vs Great Design Quotes-Check These Out
Good vs Great. Good Design vs Great Design. These quotes were created and send to us by the A' International Design Award as a part of their latest PR campaign. There were more, but here are our picks. Some of the greatest design quotes, carefully crafted and of course inspired by prior great quotes from masters of design, art, architecture and business. I am providing my own reflections for each quote as well as a text version below.Good Design was tasty, Great Design addictive. My thoughts: You can give up tasty things but once you are addicted you cannot give them up. Great design is perhaps addictive because it is very comfortable, it feels natural. It remind me of Salvador Dali's quote: I don't do drugs. I am drugs!Good Design is easy to advertise, Great Design advertises itself. From a media member perspective, this is absolutely true. If it is good design we would publish it, if it is great design we would ask to publish it. People share great design, and like good design when they see one.Good Design created an advantage, Great Design communicated it. This particular design quote perhaps applies more to graphic design, but actually it holds true for any kind of design, if it is self-explanatory, it just works.Good Design is dreamed, Great Design makes dreams come true. So good design are beautiful things we want to have, but great design are products or services that allows us to achieve more, to reach our potential. I like this quote.Good Design is the enemy of Great Design. Well this is Good is the enemy of Great quote transformed. But somehow I love it. For any design team, this should be a mantra hanging on the wall reminding you what to do.Good Design stands out, Great Design fits in. This is rather interesting, from what I understand, good design stands out, i.e. it is different and people recognize it, but great design is so perfectly done that you do not feel it, it fits right-in to the picture, it is natural.Good Design follows, Great Design is followed. I like it, it says great design is pioneer. However, if I wrote this quote, I would write it as: Good Design follows, great design leads. - Frank Scott!Good Design is creative, Great Design is genius. I too agree that great design requires exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, or originality.Good Design is inspired, Great Design is inspiring. Good designs are created after inspiration, while great designs would inspire others? Works just fine.Good Design requires will, desire and persistence, Great Design wants love. You need to put the uttermost of your feelings; you need to pour your love to achieve great design. Well said.Good Design is friendly, Great Design is lovely. This is indeed a very happy design quote, I think it refers to the emotional connection users of great products or services form with them; great designs are loved.Good Design is marketed, Great Design is sold. This one is straightforward, you need to market good products, but great products will have such demand that they will be sold faster.Good Design requires motivation, Great Design requires obsession. From my understanding this quote refers to the details. Great design should show an extensive attention, almost an obsession for details and the integrity as a whole.Good Design was safe, Great Design took the risk. Well, for me this design quote is golden. It is so true; without trying new things and risking it, we cannot achieve greatness.Good Design sells good, Great Design sells great. To add my reflection on this quote: the aesthetic design of a product usually does not change costs, plus good technical design could actually decrease the production costs thus it is actually cheap and very smart to have good design at the first place for your products and services.Good Design solved a problem, Great Design prevented it. This is actually my favorite design quote now. It is a really really smart quote on how any great design should be; instead of being a solution, it should prevent the cause. I think this quote communicates very good the essence of what design means.Good Design touches you, Great Design touches your soul. Good design moves you? This quote also obviously refers to the emotional bonds that great products or services, great designs could achieve.Good Design stays, Great Design spreads. I think this one refers to publicity, as well as the permanency. It says good design stays; lasts, meanwhile also giving the sense that no one talks about it; people talk about great designs. Hope I got it right! Good Design is used, Great Design is loved. Perhaps this is a fun attribution to relationships, an anthropomorphism if you may call but meanwhile it also says that good design is functional while great design is highly emotion. Exerpt:Good vs Great. Good Design vs Great Design. These quotes were created and send to us by the A' International Design Award as a part of their latest PR campaign. There were more, but here are our picks. Some of the greatest design quotes, carefully crafted and of course inspired by prior great quotes from masters of design, art, architecture and business.

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf from Book, Recipes Every Man Should Know
Once again, bacon has made something better: meatloaf.
Make plain meatloaf. Make bacon-wrapped meatloaf. Then tell me which one is better. Aw, never mind. Just make the bacon-wrapped meatloaf. It's absolutely better.
It's also in my book, Recipes Every Man Should Know, co-authored with Brett Cohen. This little, hardcover, black book details a number of recipes that... well, every man should know. You'll find manly breakfasts like Sausage and Egg Breakfast Hash, gut-filling dinners like Jumbalaya, and lots of bacon-spiked foods, including guacamole and brownies! All this goodness for a modest $9.95. Can you say Christmas stocking stuffer?
Here are a few tips for making a killer bacon-wrapped meatloaf:
1. Use the best beef and bacon you can afford. I prefer 85% lean beef. Any flavor bacon will do, so use your favorite. I don't suggest thick cut because it doesn't cook and crisp as well due to the criss-cross pattern.
2. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together. The mixture should be moist yet hold together nicely when formed into a long oval. Pat the sides together with the palms of your hands, then pat both ends to make it hold together compactly.
3. Criss-cross the bacon strips so it looks good. I mean, come on, that's one pretty beast, is it not?
4. Bake it on an aluminum-foil lined rimmed baking sheet for easy clean up. Or, if you have one, bake it on a roasting pan so the fat drips in the pan.
5. To ensure the meat is safely cooked, use a meat thermometer which should read 160-165 degrees. If you don't have one, then insert a knife into the thickest part of the loaf to ensure the meat is no longer pink.
Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf
Makes 4-6 servings for hungry guys or 8 servings for women and kids
Printable recipe.
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 pounds ground beef (85% lean is best)
3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
several dashes hot sauce
6 tablespoons ketchup, divided
8-10 slices bacon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned; let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, combine sauteed onions with all ingredients from ground beef through hot sauce, plus 2 tablespoons ketchup. Using your hands, mix until thoroughly combined. Transfer beef mixture onto a large baking sheet lightly greased with canola oil or cooking spray. (You can line the pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.) Shape into an oval mound or long rectangle and lay bacon slices over the top so that they crisscross. Wash your hands, then brush remaining 4 tablespoons ketchup over bacon and meatloaf.
3. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until browned on top and cooked through. (A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf should read 160 to 165 degrees F.) If you don't have a thermometer, insert a knife into the thickest part to ensure meat is no longer pink.

I think we're having a re-surgence of bacon lately. It's always been around - but I just seem to see it everywhere lately.
And not just on dishes like meatloaf. (My Mom always put bacon on top of meatloaf.) But crumbled bacon in veggie dishes and in chocolate and it's all so creative.
Sounds like a good book. Maybe I should get it for my son-in-law whose going through a divorce and becoming single again this year.

So my daughter and my son just moved into their first "grown up" apt (meaning they aren't living with me) and she is Loving having her own kitchen. She made meatloaf the other day and didn't love the recipe - I just sent her YOUR recipe and she (and my son's GF) totally agreed that THIS is the next meatloaf she tries. She said to say "Thank You!"

Roasted Garlic Sourdough
My other experiment yesterday was a Roasted Garlic Sourdough with about 30% whole wheat flour.
I didn't time this one quite right. First it was going to fast and I had to leave the house, so I folded it and set it outside, where I guess it was a little cooler than I thought. That really showed down the fermentation and I wanted it out of the oven by dinner, so I ended up switching the order of my bakes (hence the really hot oven for the White Chocolate Apricot Sourdough, which I'd planned on baking second once I'd cooled the oven a bit). So the crumb is tighter that I wanted, but still perfectly acceptable.
It's pretty good. There is a strong garlic flavour even in the slices without cloves in them. Fairly heavy in that you don't need to eat much to fill up. I'm not sure I'll make it again unless I have an occasion when I know I'll have folks around to share with, but I'm glad I tried.
