Welcome aboard! :)abuhayyan said:
My search in finding WordPress alternative without database led me here. Already made a draft site with Flatpress and I love it.
The upper levels of the Kansas City Royals system is pretty thin depth-wise however the club has some interesting prospects in the lower minors, which should make things very interesting in the next 2 to 3 years when theyre prepared to compete for Major League spots. The club had among the best drafts in 2008.
AAA/AA Prospects:Daniel Cortes, 21, has improved much more than simply about any prospect within the system in the past 2 yrs. He was stolen in the White Sox inside a trade for reliever Mike MacDougal. Cortes improvements could be a sociated with a fastball which has jumped in to the mid-90s range, as well as the growth and development of a curveball that's now a plus pitch. The right-handers change-up, though, is lacking and that he might be facing moving to the bullpen where he could become a dominating eighth- or ninth-inning pitcher. He posted a 3.48 ERA (but 4.40 FIP) at Double-A in 2008 and allowed 103 hits in 116.2 innings. Cortes posted a high walk rate of four.24 BB/9 and a strikeout rate of 8.41 K/9, which should be higher given his stuff.
For unkown reasons, the Royals organization just doesn't seem to believe in Kila Kaaihue. This comes despite the very first baseman slugged 38 home runs between three levels in 2008, including the Majors. The 24-year-old prospect also hit more than .300 at each stop but the Majors, where he hit .286 in 12 games. There is need to be mindful with Kaaihue, considering that this was by far the very best season of his career, however the power is for real even when he might hit closer to .260. The Royals are likely to pay Mike Jacobs a Anton Stralman Jersey lot of money to do what Kaaihue can probably do for a league-minimum salary and also the youngster also offers much better plate discipline (107 walks in 2008, compared to Jacobs 36 free pa ses).
Carlos Rosa is a hard-throwing right-hander who has been working as a starter within the minors, but projects better like a reliever because of his lack of a third pitch. He throws a mid-90s fastball, as well as a slider that has plus potential. Rosa a break down forearm strain in 2008 which was bad enough that it nixed a trade with the Marlins in the off-season.
Blake Wood, 23, is a big, strong pitcher and a former third-round choose of Georgia Tech. He's the stuff to achieve succe s (low-to-mid-90s fastball, good curveball, OK change-up) but he struggles with consistency and it has battled injuries. Wood split 2008 between High-A and Double-A but struggled at the higher level. His ERA rose from 2.67 to five.30 but he moved to a far greater hitters park. His walk rate rose from 2.35 to 3.32 BB/9, while the strikeout rate dropped from 9.89 to 7.89 K/ Jason Garrison Jersey 9. Overall, Wood allowed 128 hits in 144 innings.
A+/A Prospects:Mike Moustakas, the second overall pick of the 2007 draft, were built with a solid first full pro season in 2008. In A-ball, the infielder hit .272/.337/.468 having a .196 ISO in 496 at-bats. His numbers are even more impre sive considering the fact he hit just .190/.253/.226 in April. Defensively, Moustakas played shortstop in senior high school but moved to third base as a pro. He has a powerful arm (He is able to hit the mid-90s on the mound) but his range is limited at shortstop. Moustakas will start 2009 in High-A ball and may see Double-A in the other half of year.
Danny Duffy, 20, posted some impre sive numbers in 2008 with just 56 hits allowed in 81.2 innings at A-ball. He also posted rates of two.76 BB/9 and 11.24 K/9. Because he rises the organizational ladder, though, Duffys strikeout rates should drop as his fastball is average at 88-92 mph and the secondary pitches are currently inconsistent, even though the curve has plus potential. The southpaw projects as a No. 3 starter, but the shoulder woes he suffered in 2008 and caused him to mi s that last month of the season are worrisome.
Danny Gutierrez came out of nowhere in 2008. The right-hander was in his third pro season after signing like a draft-and-follow in the year 2006. Gutierrez received an increase in velocity before the 2008 season, which helped him allow just 83 hits in 90 innings. Also, he posted rates of two.50 BB/9 and 10.40 K/9. The 21-year- Ben Bishop Jersey old prospect suffered a hairline fracture of his elbow and mi sed a month of the season early on, but he is healthy now and could taking action immediately with three pitches (89-94 mph fastball, curve, change).
SS/R Prospects:Eric Hosmer was the most potent senior high school bat within the 2008 draft and is an absolute offensive stud in the a long time. His bat is also extremely advanced for any senior high school player and that he could take an identical path to the Majors as Torontos Travis Snider, who made it to the Majors within 3 years. Hosmer appeared in just three pro games after signing late and he also got caught up in anything dispute that Pedro Alvarez had using the Pirates. Regardle s, he should open 2009 in A-ball and could see High-A ball in the other half of the season.
Catcher Jose Bonilla was one of the top prospects in rookie ball after hitting .357/.405/.625 in 112 at-bats. He must show a little more patience while at bat (4.3 BB%). Defensively, Bonilla includes a strong arm (He threw out greater than 40 % of base stealers) and it is a minimum of average in most other facets of the position.
Johnny Giavotella had a lot of attention after being drawn in the second round of the 2008 draft and hitting well in the debut at A-ball. He posted a type of .299/.355/.421 with an ISO of .122. The 21-year-old second baseman is a hard worker who'll probably top out as a utility player, but he could put up solid numbers as a regular at the MLB level for some seasons.
The Royals drafted three promising young senior high school pitchers in 2008, including Tim Melville, Mike Montgomery and Tyler Sample. Melville has got the highest ceiling despite being drawn in the fourth round (His bonus demands dropped him from first-round consideration). He has a mid-90s fastball and solid curveball. Montgomery posted a 1.69 ERA (3.13 FIP) Steven Stamkos Jersey in 42.2 rookie ball innings in 2008. The southpaw has three solid pitches, although he does not throw as hard as Melville. Sample towers above opponents at 67 however the third-round pick had a rude summary of pro ball having a 9.00 ERA in 27 rookie ball innings.
Up Next: The Chicago Cubs
These lists do not include all of the talented prospects in each system only a snap shot. Some players happen to be overlooked since i have covered them recently and not much has changed (You are able to connect to the older posts from each players FanGraphs page) or I am planning a separate post on them within the very close to future.
What will it be like to play Monopoly competitively?
Thisquestionoriginally appeared onQuora:The optimum solution for the question. Ask an inquiry, purchase a great answer. Benefit from experts and acce s insider knowledge. It is Roberto Luongo Jersey po sible to follow Quora onTwitter,Facebook, andGoogle+.
Answer byKevin Tostado,Director of "Under the Boardwalk: The MonopolyStory"
Competitive Monopoly is without a doubt a distinct beast than the casual games maybe you have loved your siblings during our childhood. Once you start competing at charity tournaments, it just seems natural to then enjoy the like to become US & World Monopoly Champion.
The flavor players who have fun with the game competitively know the statistics within the game inside and outside, including reality that Orange color group will statistically be landed on more frequently than other color group, this program increases it capturing the best return of investment from a color group. There does exist anything good strategy for your token choice, and players ought to roll for the ideal Jussi Jokinen Jersey to utilize token if twoor more players require to use it.
More from Quora:What is considered the strategy behind competitive Monopoly token choice?|What include the main and basic tactics of Monopoly A number of different stick with?As far as personalities go, you'll see even a full range. Make sure that have your abrasive personalities that try and railroad you into going for just what want to and cheer at surface of their lungs while you owe them a $12 rent. However, these players are normally considered "poor sports" Scottie Upshall Jersey and develop reputations internet marketing tricky to spend playtime with, which often will cause the theifs to have a relatively more challenging time winning a competitive sport.There are those who play very pa sive-agre sively they do not prefer to spark a conflict or draw a target on themselves. They'll propose trades to every single player to see that is considering what, thereafter look for the best point in the game to exploit that knowledge.The commonest profe sions I've encountered over the "pro" circuit are bankers, lawyers, teachers, and other people who work with Official Florida Panthers Jersey Store real estate. This surprised me to start with, but it really is a good idea because such what sets tournament Monopoly besides home games would be the standard of Florida Panthers Jersey interpersonal dynamics that's needed is for being consistently succe sful.
Within regions, you'll definitely find competitors who definitely are friends and can even meet up socially beyond the tournaments. There's a simple group in Los angeles with "debrief dinners" after every local charity tournament they all play in, and that is exactly in relation to single tournament they might enter. Through my own time filmingUnder the Boardwalk: The Monopoly Story,I've now become close with a lot of the SoCal group and then have begun competing regularly.During this game, folks will probably exploit any connections plants give themselves a good edge, and better often nada, players can potentially leave the hostile feelings at the table as soon as the game is accomplished.For someone keen on upping Jaromir Jagr Jersey their personal Monopoly game, I'd recommend starting by readingThe Monopoly Companionby Phil Orbanes. It will be the first Monopoly strategy guide that I read, so i still think oahu is the best.

Identify rules to behaviour
Hi every one,
I was curious if there was a way with PF to identify what rule react to a specific network action:
The situation I am facing here, is a havy latency when connecting to a specific website. When I disable PF on my box, then every thing goes smooth.. So probably there is a conflict between at least 2 rules..
If someone has any idea of how to debug this, it would be cool as it is really the first time I am facing that kind of crap..
Thanks jggimi,
I can see that my packets are passing over and not blocked. However I still have a latency when trying to connect to this specific web site.
at the first connection, it load correctly and then when hitting links it hang. The browser show 'thinking' for ever....
Any Ideas would be great ..
"Hang" and "Thinking forever" are not how I would define the term "latency".
You have described a breakdown in communication. You have also asked how to diagnose it.
I would look for a root cause by first determining what those "links" are that you describe, to determine what they do. HTTP? URLs? Javascript code? Java applet execution? Lotus Notes URIs? FTP URLs? Gopher?..... "Link" is too generic, ain''t it?
If and only if you have determined that you do, indeed, have a networking problem, instead of an application problem, then you can move to Step 3, above. One exception: if these are FTP URLs which fail for you and your users, I would look to your PF configuration once more. See the PF Users Guide chapter on Issues with FTP.
You are right Jggimi, I was not enough precise in my description.. It is lso because I have difficulties to identify the real cause. I will try to detail a bit more:
I talk about an https link that point on an OpenSource Application.
This appliction is based on:
CentOS, Appache2, Mysql, phpMysql, Perl.
Consider the DB server installed separatly of the www server.
That envirronnement is facing internet.
When connecting from anywhere on the net, the application (understand the web interface) do not hang. But when connecting from behind the OBSD box, it hang after few minutes... I did tryed to sniff on one of the machines connecting from behind the box and I can see many bad TCP (TCP retransmission, TCP Dup Ack).
Usually it is at those steps that the page start to hang. From outside (means anywhere on the net) I noticed the same bad TCP, but it does not hang.
If I disable pf, the app work fine....
From behind the box any access to internet web sites is good.
Hope I was clearer here.. Thanx
From your somewhat better description, it appears to me that your PF configuration is not handling TCP retransmissions or TCP fragments properly.
I would look to any settings you may have copied/pasted from someone else's PF configuration. Flags on rules affect state table management. Scrub rules affect packet fragments, reassembly, and traffic normalization. Runtime options could also be a cause.
Since you have not shared your pf.conf file, this is all just a wild guess, of course. If you decide to share it, just redact any "real" IP addresses or other identifying information.

The only way to know how much your wedding will cost is to make a budget. But, how do you make a budget for a Nigerian wedding or any wedding? I will show you – keep reading. During planning, making a budget will give you an estimate of how much your wedding will cost, so that you know exactly how much to spend on every detail. Want to start making the wedding budget for your big day? It's easy and I will teach you. In this article, I will take you by the hand, step by step through every step of how to budget for every money you will spend on your wedding.
One of the questions I receive every week is on the topic of learning how to budget for a Nigerian style wedding includes: how do I know much will my wedding cost? how to set a wedding budget, how to breakdown the budget, how to track wedding expenses, how to stick to a wedding budget and lots more. This post provides answers to such questions, and I will also teach you how to budget for your wedding step by step. Scroll down to see our quick 6 step-method of coming off with a wedding budget from scratch.
Why Learn How to Make Your Wedding Budget Yourself?
Before I show you the steps to making a wedding budget, let's talk about the importance of budgeting for your Nigerian wedding. In the wedding planning process, the budget is one of the very first things to do right after your engagement, and after fixing the wedding date. The wrong way to wedding planning is to start shopping for wedding gowns, rings and cakes. That usually leads to overspending and later having to manage small left-over change for the rest of the wedding. It's best to never spend a kobo until you've made a wedding budget. First, see this wedding budget tutorial from celebrity wedding planner, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe – and then scroll down to READ our 6 steps on how to budget for any wedding – Nigerian wedding or any type.
Estimating a Wedding Cost Step by Step: Things To Budget For and How Much?
So, what and what should you budget for, in a Nigerian wedding? Once you have decided on a figure as your wedding budget, the next thing is to allot percentage of that budget to major categories of wedding expenses.
Step 1. Set Your Wedding Budget Limit
Think – set a limit of how much you do not want to exceed. This is simply done by you setting any amount you believe you can afford to spend on your entire wedding event – the church/ religious ceremony + the reception. For Nigerians, you may want to include the trad wedding budget here, but it may be a good idea to treat that one separately. So, write down an amount for the maximum money you (have and) want to spend on your entire wedding. This is your total wedding budget.
NOTE: I'm talking of the money you ALREADY HAVE in your own bank account. Please do not include money you plan to borrow from someone. Do not include money someone has promised you. It's like making a market shopping or grocery list on an amount you do not have. You only make a shopping list when you have the money ready, right? Same with wedding budgeting – wait till you have the money or budget with the amount you already have and find a way to make it work – BECAUSE even small-money weddings can turn out well, if well-managed.
- Related: A simple method to use the number of guests (you expect) to estimate your wedding reception budget
Step 2. Breakdown that Wedding Budget into Major Expense Categories and Allocate Amounts/ Costs
You may choose to simply set any amount you desire as what you plan to spend on each wedding thing. But if you have no idea what to do here, use our wedding budget percentage allocation guide to plan how much you should spend on what. You can change up this later, but you need somewhere to start – that's what this is for.
Here's an example of how Step 2 above works:
(For example) Say, I have a budget of N200,000 to spend for my wedding, my initial wedding budget breakdown could look like this:
Wedding attire (bride + groom): N48,000.00
Stationery + Souvenir: N12,000.00
Venue + Decor N36,000.00
Wedding Reception N42,000.00
Entertainment N28,000.00
Miscellaneous (just in case) N34,000.00
Total Wedding Budget: N200,000.00
If you hate any form of manual calculation, you can download and use our free wedding budget calculator here – all you need to do is enter the amount you have for the entire wedding and our worksheet will automagically display your wedding breakdown numbers. It's the NaijaGlamWedding budget calculator that I used to quickly arrive at the above breakdown, so feel free to use it to make budgeting for your wedding faster.
- Get our detailed list of Nigerian wedding expenses – use it to quickly work out your complete wedding budget.
Step 3: Review and Total Up the Wedding Budget Breakdown
Add up the above amounts (a to f). The total should be the same as your overall wedding budget, which you set in step 1. If not, check your calculation or simply use our ready-made wedding budget calculator – so that you don't need to calculate anything by yourself.
Step 4: Make a Detailed List of Things to Spend Money On (aka Wedding Expenses / List)
Now, you'll want to make the wedding budget list, that is a detailed list of what to spend money on, for each of the wedding shopping category (in step 2 above). For example, you will want to make a list of everything you plan to spend under wedding attire – such as wedding gown, shoes etc. You also want to list what to spend your wedding reception budget on – such as wedding cake, food, drinks, small chops etc.
I hope you get the idea?
- Don't know what to budget for? To make it fast for you, we already made you a ready-made wedding expense list and budget template has a list of must-have things to spend on for Nigerian style weddings. So, all you have to do is find out how much those stuff cost in your local market and fill them in. Then total them up, and you have your total wedding budget. We also created a wedding budget worksheet for you – you can download it from our wedding tools page (click here).
- About Miscellaneous Expenses: According to one of our married readers (ZainMum), you will always spend more than what you have budgeted. That is why we strongly recommend that couples set aside a good chunk of extra money for unplanned/ miscellaneous expenses that may arise or were forgotten.An example of what to include in the miscellaneous section are expenses for family members (groom's/bride's parents and siblings' outfits, transportation and more). This is where your parents and siblings cannot afford to take care of themselves.
Step 5: Record and Track What You Spend
It's easy to overspend when you start shopping and paying vendors. To make sure you stick to your budget, record everything you spend money on. Recording your wedding expenses will guide you not to overspend. You can print out the wedding budget list worksheet (in step 4 above) and record your spending right on the paper. This will give you an idea of your wedding expenses. The video tutorial below from Wura Manola (a Nigerian UK-based wedding planner) validates what we're teaching on how to make a trackable wedding budget list, and how to cut your coat according to your size when planning a Naija wedding (WATCH it – step 6 is down below).

Judah's Corruption.* 1The LORD said to me: Go buy yourself a linen loincloth; wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water. 2I bought the loincloth, as the LORD commanded, and put it on. 3A second time the word of the LORD came to me thus: 4Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing, and go at once to the Perath; hide it there in a cleft of the rock. 5Obedient to the LORD's command, I went to the Perath and buried the loincloth. 6After a long time, the LORD said to me: Go now to the Perath and fetch the loincloth which I told you to hide there. 7So I went to the Perath, looked for the loincloth and took it from the place I had hidden it. But it was rotted, good for nothing! 8Then the word came to me from the LORD: 9Thus says the LORD: So also I will allow the pride of Judah to rot, the great pride of Jerusalem.a 10This wicked people who refuse to obey my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and follow other gods, serving and worshiping them, will be like this loincloth, good for nothing.b 11For, as the loincloth clings to a man's loins, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me—oracle of the LORD—to be my people, my fame, my praise, my glory. But they did not listen.c
The Broken Wineflask. 12Now speak to them this word: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Every wineflask should be filled with wine. If they reply, "Do we not know that every wineflask should be filled with wine?" 13say to them: Thus says the LORD: Beware! I am making all the inhabitants of this land drunk, the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests and prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.d 14I will smash them against each other, parents and children together—oracle of the LORD—showing no compassion, I will neither spare nor pity, but I will destroy them.e
15Listen and give ear, do not be arrogant,
for the LORD speaks.
16Give glory to the LORD, your God,
before he brings darkness;
Before your feet stumble
on mountains at twilight;
Before the light you look for turns to darkness,
changes into black clouds.f
17If you do not listen to this in your pride,
I will weep many tears in secret;
My eyes will run with tears
for the LORD's flock, led away to exile.g
18Say to the king and to the queen mother:
come down from your throne;
From your heads
your splendid crowns will fall.h
19The cities of the Negeb are besieged,
with no one to relieve them;
Judah is taken into exile—all of it—
in total exile.
20Lift up your eyes and see
those coming in from the north.
Where is the flock entrusted to you,
your splendid sheep?i
21What will you say when rulers are appointed over you,
those you taught to be allies?
Will not pains seize you
like those of a woman giving birth?j
22If you say to yourself:
"Why have these things happened to me?"
For your great guilt your skirts are stripped away
and you are violated.k
23Can Ethiopians change their skin,
leopards their spots?
As easily would you be able to do good,
accustomed to evil as you are.l
24I will scatter them like chaff that flies
on the desert wind.m
25This is your lot, the portion I have measured out to you—
oracle of the LORD.
Because you have forgotten me,
26I now will strip away your skirts,
so that your shame is visible.o
27Your adulteries, your neighings,
your shameless prostitutions:
On the hills, in the fields
I see your detestable crimes.
Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long will it be
before you are clean?p
* [13:1–11] In this symbolic action, Jeremiah probably went to the village and spring of Parah, two and a half miles northeast of Anathoth, whose name closely resembled the Hebrew name of the river Euphrates (Perath), in order to dramatize the religious corruption of Judah at the hands of the Babylonians.

Just round the headland to the east of Caerfai Bay, near St Davids, is the little rocky cove of Caerbwdi Bay, where a stream emerges from the valley once owned by the celtic heathen druid and chieftain Boia.
The National Park Coastal Footpath passes through the valley and across the mill stream on its way to Solva, and just off the path to the north is the site at Trelerw of a typical 'clachan' - a small group of houses in the early Atlantic Celtic settlement pattern. Just beyond Trelerw is the remains of the seaward end of the mysterious Monk's Dyke (Ffos-y-Mynach) which ends at Ogof a Ffos (The Dyke Cave) after crossing the St Davids Peninsula from the rocky tor at Penberry. It is like a mini Offa's Dyke, though not so well-defined, formed as a defensive barrier across the peninsula in the distant past.
Chieftain Boia was a bit put out when St David decided to build a monastery at St Davids, when the saint returned from his initial travels establishing religious houses at the command of an angel. This was Boia's territory and right under his imposing headquarters in a castle overlooking the vale and the River Alun, which winds down through the present day Cathedral Close on its way to the sea at Porthclais. Welsh chroniclers say that David's amiable and innoffensive nature won over the pagan tyrant who changed heart and allowed David and his followers to stay and establish their base in the Valley of Roses, where the Cathedral was later built. Legend has it that it was some kind of miracle that won the fierce Boia over, but unfortunately, the nature of the miracle is not revealed, and, despite the popularity of myths with miracles attached, most scholars believe it was St David's charisma, his strong character and peaceful approach that pacified the chieftain.
Indeed, such was David's effect on him that it is said Boia almost became a Christian, and his change of heart was such that his opposition was abated and he settled the vale and other lands for ever on the monastery.
The earthwork remains of Boia's castle at Clegyr Boia, no doubt a wooden pallisaded structure, overlooks Merryvale above the Mill, and is marked on maps as 'Castell'. Fenton, the 18th century antiquarian, describes the earthwork in his book "A Historical Tour Through Pembrokeshire" published in 1810, as "a circular earthwork of considerable height...well placed to guard the pass into his territories."
The famous purple Caerbwdi stone used to build the Cathedral, and to repair it up until recent times, has been quarried at Caerbwdi, from the cliffs flanking the narrow bay. At the eastern entrance there is an interesting geological fold in the purple sandstone of the Lower Cambrian period where it joins the green-grey sandstone of the Middle Cambrian Solva beds. In the valley leading down to the bay, below Carn Nwchwn farm is the ruins of the ancient Caerbwdi Mill.

This Little Girl Is Not Exactly Pleased She's Having a Baby Brother
Oh, brother.
In this video, an expectant mom and dad sitting in the parking lot of a Macy's (yeah, we thought that was weird, too) reveal the sex of their unborn baby, while their daughter sits in the backseat, equally anxious.
Her anxiousness turns into a nightmare, though, when she finally realizes she's not going to have a sister.
We have a feeling she'll use these next few months to think of fun ways to torture her baby brother because, hey, that's one of the perks of being the older sibling.

More Arrests Expected Following Discovery of Sioux Falls Meth Lab
Sioux Falls Police say more arrests are expected after a search led to one drug-related arrest on Tuesday.
Agents of the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force were called to 2401 West Russell Street and a report of a possible methamphetamine lab.
Officers of the Police Department's Street Crimes Unit were there and had arrested 40-year-old Camille Solberg for possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
The drug agents reportedly found a so-called "One-Pot" meth lab and components, and Solberg was arrested on charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, maintaining a place where drugs are used or stored, and a school zone violation.
Police say the case is ongoing and more arrests are expected.

Help the Obama Administration Fight Sexual Assault On College Campuses
Universities have a responsibility to protect students from violence, discrimination, harassment, and assault. When something violent happens to students on or off campus, universities have a responsibility to handle these cases in an appropriate way that keeps the campus community and the victim safe. Given this extremely basic responsibility that schools owe to their tuition-paying students, it's incredible how frequently students' rights are violated after reporting sexual assault. It's incredible how incapable universities have been at protecting students who have been assaulted. It's incredible how often victims of sexual assault also become victims of illegal institutionalized rape apologism.
In response to these universities' failures to protect victims, there's been a wave of students bringing their cases to the federal level. Victims across the country have been reporting their universities' illegal …

Without DeMint, Is the Tea Party Weaker?
Mainstream Republicans are breathing easier as the South Carolina senator steps down.
The shocking decision by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) to quit the Senate will do more than leave a bitter taste in the mouths of his tea party followers, who now find themselves leaderless in Congress during contentious fiscal cliff negotiations.
DeMint's departure also helps the GOP's mainstream wing retake control of the Republican Party, avoiding what could have been a very bloody fight.
The establishment GOP is fed up with the tea party, blaming it for alienating mainstream voters with extreme positions on fiscal and social issues and allowing President Obama to win a second term.
The signs are clear that the tea party movement's clout is eroding. DeMint's departure next month to head the conservative Heritage Foundation follows the defeat last month of a half-dozen tea party House members and a pair of ultraright Senate candidates.
More recently, three tea party House members were shown the back of House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) hand when he yanked them off prestigious committees to signal he will no longer stand for their obstinate behavior.
At the same time, antitax lobbyist Grover Norquist is under assault from all sides and is watching his power wane. More and more Republicans are recanting their pledge to Norquist to not vote to raise taxes, no longer seeing him as someone to be feared. This week, Boehner declared that one way or another, the rich are going to pay more in taxes.
DeMint claims he never planned to make a career out of the Senate and always coveted a policy-related job, such as this opportunity to run a conservative think tank. "It's time for me to pass the torch to someone else and take on a new role in the fight for America's future," he said.
Along with others in the mainstream, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) can rest easier, now that the tea party darling is resigning his seat. DeMint was a burr under McConnell's saddle and had been seen as a threat at one time to try to oust him. The dislike for McConnell in tea party circles is clear even amid DeMint's exit.
"If McConnell smiles at hearing the news Jim DeMint is leaving the Senate, he should remember Obi Wan Kenobi telling him...errrr...Darth Vader, 'If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine,'" writes tea party blogger and talk radio host Erick Erickson, a South Carolinian mentioned as a potential candidate to run for DeMint's seat.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) is likely to grab the reins as leader of the Senate tea party caucus, but he will have plenty of competition for that job from Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rand Paul (R-KY).
DeMint's term expires in 2016. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) will appoint a stand-in who will serve until a special election can be held in 2014. Potential replacements for DeMint include GOP Reps. Mick Mulvaney, Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott. Others being mentioned are state Sen. Tom Davis, who served as chief of staff to former Gov. Mark Sanford, and state Treasurer Curtis Loftis. Haley, whose term ends in early 2015, is seen as a likely candidate in the special election in 2014.
Meanwhile, the senior senator from South Carolina, Republican Lindsey Graham, may be getting the biggest gift of all from DeMint's exodus. Graham was seen as vulnerable to a tea party challenge in 2014, but the sweepstakes to fill DeMint's seat makes that a lot less likely now.
Democrats have been banking on a more hostile takeover by establishment Republicans, but it doesn't mean they aren't gleeful about the way things are playing out for the Grand Old Party.
"I always thought he was a straight shooter and he had his views, but he was a person of integrity," says Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY). "But certainly his effect on the political system may have been more beneficial to Democrats than Republicans."

Stephen Harper is currently the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the Nazi Party of Canada. He recently won the 2011 elections with 39.62% of the vote and 166 out of 308 seats giving the Conservatives a majority government. The election was started after the Liberal Party of Canada put forward a motion of Non Confidence on the alledged grounds of contempt of parliament.
Stephen Harper was born on April 30, 1959 in Toronto, Ontario. He received a Master's degree in economics from the University of Calgary.
As a young man, Harper briefly worked as an intern in Ottawa as an assistant to the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. However he eventually grew frustrated and disillusioned with the party, which he saw as overly pragmatic, insufficently conservative, and hostile towards the interests of western Canada.
Returning to Alberta, he joined forces with conservative activist Preston Manning and helped found the Reform Party of Canada, a "true" conservative party designed to challenge the dominance of the Progressive Conservatives and then-PC Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
Harper proceded to be elected to Parliament in 1993 as a Reform Party of Canada member to represent the riding of Calgary West. In 1997 he declined to run for re-election, however, becoming frustrated with parlimentary politics and Manning's leadership of the Reform Party.
Subsequently, he became the head of the National Citizens Coalition (NCC), a conservative advocacy group in Canada.
Recent historyEdit
When Manning resigned as leader of Reform in 2000 the party renamed itself the Canadian Alliance and was briefly led by Stockwell Day. Day was an unpopular leader, though the party did make some parliamentary gains during his leadership. When he stepped down in 2002 Harper re-entered politics to replace him, and was subsequently elected the new leader of the Canadian Alliance (CA).
As leader, Harper was instrumental in instigating a merger between the CA and his old rivals, the Progressive Conservative Party, which was now led by Peter MacKay, a man who was open to the idea of joining forces to help "unite the right" in Canada, and create a party powerful enough to defeat the entrenched Liberal Party of Canada. Harper's eagerness to merge led him to compromise several key principles of the Canadian Alliance, however. In order to win the moderate MacKay's support, Harper "softened" many of the CA's positions on issues.
Once the deal was inked, Harper was then elected first leader of the new Conservative Party of Canada. Defeating Magna International CEO and Red-Tory, Belinda Stronach and Ontario Health Minister, Tony Clement.
Prime MinisterEdit
In an election in 2006, the Conservative Party of Canada elected enough members of parliament to unseat Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin and form a minority government. Stephen Harper became the Prime Minister on February 6th, 2006.
Harper's Conservative Government has largely followed his election platform of five key priorities. They are :
- Federal Accountability
- Tax Reform (including dropping the Canadian VAT, the GST from 7% to 5%)
- Crime
- Child Care
- Health Care
In addition Harper has focused his energy on rebuilding the Canadian Forces and the war in Afghanistan.
In 2007 Harper promised Canadian farmers over $1 billion Canadian in farm subsidies but at the same time promised to end the Wheat Board of Canada's sales monopoly in Western Canada[1], (a government group that manipulates the prices of wheat and barley through supply management). Some farmers believe this would cost the Canadian farming industry billions of dollars in lost revenues while others feel the industry would benefit by allowing farmers in the West to market and sell their produce as they see fit; just as farmers in the east are allowed to do. The United States also wants the Wheat Board of Canada removed from power because it claims price fixing is unfair to free-trade. Wheat exports to the United States account for only 10% of Canada's wheat production.
A fixed election date measure was passed, setting the next general election for October, 2009. However, the measure was not binding, and on September 7th, 2008, Harper advised the Governor-General to call a general election for Octber 14, 2008, one year early. The Conservatives won the election, increasing their total number of seats, however they did not win an outright majority of the seats in the House of Commons. This left open the possibility of the remaining parties forming a coalition and displacing the Conservative government, and an unofficial Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition was formed a month after the election; however, Harper successfully had parliament suspended until February 2009 before the coalition could bring forth a vote of no confidence. Liberal leader Stephane Dion resigned his position after the suspension of parliament, and succeeding leader Michael Ignatieff has distanced himself from the coalition, meaning that the Harper government is theoretically safe for the foreseeable future (although not truly safe, like any minority government).
Mr. Harper is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a conservative evangelical Christian group, and is generally considered to have socially conservative views on most issues. During the 2003 Iraq War his party was the only one in Canada that supported the United States and George W. Bush. In his past careers he has also been strongly critical of taxation.
As Prime Minister, however, Harper has governed much more pragmatically. Canadian liberals often accuse Harper of being "right wing" and too similar to George W. Bush and American Republicans; analogies which are used to inflame anti-American sentiment in Canada. In the 2006 election Harper thus sought to distance himself from some of his strongly conservative positions of the past, usually by vowing to not pursue a radical social agenda while in office, but instead focus on certain economic priorities. Mr. Harper is one of the only people in Canada who supported the intervention in Libya, and also is one of few people in Canada in support of importing American aircraft, in lieu of producing Canadian fighters, out of a loyalty to American business.

First off... I'm about halfway through the book and just need to reiterate every other acclaim you've received so far, Jim. This is a truly remarkable book. Already, a dozen or so fundamental questions that have nagged at me over the years have been answered and I'm only through the first three sections.
I also loved the quote above because I have consistently felt that yours might be the best copy-edited books I've ever read. Every time (literally every time) I think I've come across a typo or syntax error, I go back and realize that it was my reading eye that made the mistake and not the writer.
So, I figured it might be helpful to start a list here so that those of us who are reading this book with the closeness that I would assume anyone on these forums will approach it, can post the one or two errata we might run across to prep for its inevitable second printing sometime in the near future.
Funnily enough, the one that I ran across was on the same page as the quote
p.134, paragraph 6, line 3: "clockwise beginning in the east" should be counterclockwise.
(Unless, of course, this is one of your remaining blinds... In which case, delete this immediately )

Post subject: Paris - shopping?
Hello all, I'm new here.
The last time I was in Paris, I was a broke college student. When I visit for a week next month, I will be slightly less broke but determined to do some damage!
I plan to stop by a couple of cooking supply stores that have been mentioned here. But I need some advice on
shopping. I am looking for a few not-too-trendy, good quality and good value pieces that I can wear for work or going out. Maybe a pair or two of shoes. I'm not super adventurous, but I do want to find unique things I wouldn't see everywhere in California. (I should add, I'm clueless in secondhand/used stores)
Any good neighborhoods or streets to visit? And what is the difference between the different department stores?
Any ideas, ladies??

I am not real good for clothes shopping.... being too tall and wide for Paris clothes....
I do know however, that you can get discounts at Printemps if you are a foreign traveller. If you go to the info counter inside the store they will have someone there who can help you. You will need to have your passport with you.
Galleries Lafayette and Printemps are interesting just because they are always so packed and you see some amazing things people watching in there.
Galleries Lafayette (main store near Haussman, not the one near Montparnasse) also has Lafayette Maison. It is a seperate section across the road from the other part of the store and contains a cookware section, gourmet food, household wares, pet accessories etc. I love this part. They also have cooking demonstrations during the week in there and I quite often pop in to see what is happening if in the area.
Have fun!

Hi Debbie,
I just spent a week in Paris this past May, and yes I did some damage. I used a really good book to find some nice shops that take you away from the tourist traps and more where the locals shop. I used Paris for Dummies strangely enough, but it was excellent with directions, maps, Metro, and even great daytrips from Paris to Chartres, Monet's garden in Girveny. I highly recommend it. I also recommend seeing the new display room for the Mona Lisa, it is wonderful with more space and much better lighting. And if you haven't been before, the Musee d'Orsay. I hope this was helpful.
P.S. You must go to La Masion du Chocloat. Expensivebut so worth it.
Live as if to die tomorrow. Learn as if to live forever.

Post subject: paris shopping- Bon Marche
I live in SF and agree with the Galleries Lafayette, its great and I found my favorite one-of-a-kind belt and dress shoes there....
Bon Marche
is a great place to go and my personal favorite...I was told about it on a month long visit by a local who shops here for great bargains on high-end clothing and literally everything else...Kind of a Neimans Last Call or Nordtroms Rack but better...I found a pair of Helmut Lang one-of-a-kind jeans for $75 euros (normally around $500 in the states)
22 Rue de Sèvres, 7th Arrondissement.
Métro stop: Sèvres-Babylone
Also a personal favorite was the
flea markets
(long way away but totally worth it) where they have incredible deals on clothing, shoes, housewares, antiques, etc...but you have to weed through the rapper wear and crowds and millions of stalls...I found great casual shoes, bags, gifts/souveneirs like an antique pocket knife for my father, a lamp for my mother, a shirt for my sister and bag for my neice...
Porte de Clignancourt, 18th arrondissement
(copied this from a website: To get there, take the Porte de Clignancourt metro line and get off at Porte de Clignancourt or Porte de Montmartre. Walk out to avenue de la Porte de Clignancourt, then to avenue Michelet and finally turn left on rue des Rosiers.)
Also, the
St Paul
areas have some very unique and great stores, just wander around and you will find them in the 4th arrondissement, although the prices are a bit higher you can find that one special item you are willing to spend a little more on...Walk directly from the worlds best ice cream place on St Louis...I found a mini-skirt here, casual shoes as well....

I found the styles were wonderful, but, alas, for the most part, the prices weren't.
Compared to my last trip 20 years ago, there were no bargains to be found, and not just because of the weak dollar.
One place I had hoped to go but didn't get to were the factory outlets near Disneyland. You can take the same train and there is a shuttle.
I believe there is more info and a link to the web page through the main paris tourist website, which I think is
If you like that kind of thing both Printemps and Galleries de Lafayette have free weekly fashion shows. (more info on the stores' sites and parisinfo.com)
I really liked Lafayette's food hall. The Bon Marche one is also pretty amazing. Monoprix is like a Target or Walmart, with clothes, accesories and food. I didn't get anything there but lip balm, but I know people who swear by it.
There is a blog out there somewhere by a young American woman who lives in Paris and is in the fashion business and loves to shop, especially designer consignment and the like. I'm sorry, I no longer have the name or contact for that blog, but I probably found it by wandering around the About.com travel/france pages. If I stumble across it again, I'll post it here for you.
The flea market is well worth the trip. Lots of knick-knacks, oddities, antiques, art and more. I mostly window shopped, it was like the world's largest museum gift store. Please note, it is only open Sat through Monday and I don't think everything is open on Monday. While I did see some antique clothes and the like, there was more clothing in the open area between the metro station and the "official" flea market buildings. Lots of tables are set up in this area, many with ethnic or other clothing bargains.
I don't know how long you'll have in Paris, but if you plan to do the food/kitchen goods shopping, clothes shopping and sightseeing, that is surprisingly a lot for a week. Especially since we all want some time for wandering and cafe sitting and people watching. (And being C&Zer's, eating). Be sure you set some realistic priorities. Remember, it's just your next visit to Paris, not your last!

Wow, thanks for the advice so far.
(ah, Monoprix - aka the place I used to buy my Nutella)
So many places - good thing I've got most sightseeing in Paris out of the way - this visit is all for shopping and salsa dancing! And I already have a tourguide for the dancing.
I will definitely do at least 2 department stores, 1 flea market, 1 cooking supply store plus Lafayette Maison, and the Marais. I've never made it to Clignancourt before.

update: I went to the Samaritaine, and the Galeries Lafayette, and Bon Marche, and the Marais, and all the shops on rue de Rivoli. Walked and walked and walked.
Didn't buy anything except a tank top. Because I'm not really into that peasant look, and every store had peasant wear in full force. And hello, had no idea les grands magasins were not priced for normal folk! Oh well, I had a good time looking anyway.

It's been a week since the highly dramatic premiere of the Real Housewives of New Jersey season 3, and the topic of conversation is still the now infamous Christening brawl.
Last week, Melissa Gorga and hubby Joe Gorga gave their side of the story to Life & Style magazine, and now Teresa Giudice is doing the same in the current issue of PEOPLE magazine. In fact, Teresa tweeted days ago that she almost got the cover but was instead bumped in favor of Arnold Schwarzenegger. "I'm in PEOPLE mag this week! An actual true story from a good magazine! (I was almost the cover but #ArnoldIsAPig)," she tweeted.
The PEOPLE interview is supposed to be about Teresa fighting back against everything out there about her in the press. She talks about the cheating rumors alleging her husband Joe Giudice is unfaithful, she addresses the bankruptcy issues, Joe's most recent arrest, and of course discusses her brother and sister-in-law. Below are excerpts from the interview –
Teresa On Bankruptcy – Teresa touched on the bankruptcy drama as she and Joe filed back in 2009, with $11 million in debt. "It was stressful, but I wasn't overly emotional about it," says Teresa. "To me, I didn't overspend. That was a lifestyle we always lived… I hated it when people called me the Broke Housewife," she adds. The PEOPLE story also added that the bankruptcy is yet to be finalized due to ongoing litigation. As we reported back in November, the Giudices are scheduled to stand trial in July for bankruptcy fraud. The bankruptcy trustee is looking to get the bankruptcy dismissed alleging they concealed assets.
On Joe's Arrest & Cheating Allegations – When it comes to Joe's most recent arrest in March for driving on a suspended license that was obtained illegally, Teresa doesn't discuss Joe's alleged actions instead stating she never heard from her brother during this period. "Even if I don't need his support, I still want to know I have it," she says. And as for those pesky rumors that Joe is cheating, Teresa denies it and stands by her man. "If he had someone, I'd like to meet her. I'd punch her in her face. He knows I would," states Teresa. Joe also denies the rumors. "How am I going to cheat?" Joe asks, adding that anytime he poses with a fan,"they say I'm with a new blonde or a Teresa lookalike."
Cookie-gate – As we reported last year, Melissa brought cookies to Teresa's home on Christmas in 2009 and Teresa ended up throwing the cookies in the trash while also telling Melissa to get her cookies that she likes next time. Surprisingly, both Teresa and Melissa admit this really did happen in the PEOPLE article. "I was trying to be nice," Melissa explains. "But then she told me in front of everyone, 'Don't ever bring those cookies again… I was like, I give up." Teresa's response? "Nobody ate them. I told her straight to her face, 'The next time you come, bring pignoli cookies.'" Teresa also attempts to defend her actions by adding that a previous snide remark in a housewarming card from Melissa a few weeks earlier had set her off.
On The Brawl – Teresa says, "It was so awful, I blacked out. I don't remember half of it." She adds, "This is not how we were raised. I get choked up thinking about it." Teresa's husband Joe adds, "Joey embarrassed himself, his father and everybody there. They acted like Jersey Shore, beating each other up. It wasn't us." Melissa attempts to defend her husband by stating "there was a lot of emotion that led to that point."
And today, Teresa adds that she does want to fix things with her family. "I don't know how things go so bad between us, but I want to fix it," she says. You can read more of Teresa's interview in the current issue of PEOPLE magazine.
Moving on to tonight's all new episode as the #1 sh*t stirrer Kim Granatell makes a return! On the new episode, the ladies deal with the aftermath of the brawl as the Brownstone hosts a fashion show. The catwalk sets the stage for catcalls and catfights, particularly when Kathy voices off and Caroline stands her ground.
A preview clip is below. And on Watch What Happens Live tonight, the guests are Teresa and Jacqueline Laurita.

Iggy Azalea has finally revealed why she and Nick Young called off their engagement.
Although many thought it had something to do with Nick's alleged cheating scandal in March, when video surfaced of him talking about other women, it turns out the "Black Widow" rapper discovered him cheating herself.
"I broke up with Nick because I found out he had brought other women into our home while I was away and caught them on security footage," she tweeted early Thursday morning. [[385041561, C]]
U.S. & World
Azalea, 26, and Young, 31, tried to make their relationship work after the March incident, but upon calling her wedding off she told her followers that after a while she couldn't trust him anymore.
"Unfortunately, although I love Nick and I have tried and tried to rebuild my trust in him--It's become apparent in the last few weeks I am unable to. I genuinely wish Nick the best," she said at the time. "It's never easy to part ways with the person you planned you're entire future with, but futures can be rewritten and as of today mine is a blank page."
Shortly after she announced the news, the Los Angeles Lakers star took to Twitter to share that he's "single."
Hotter After Breakup: Celeb Breakovers!
Although she wished her ex-fiance well, Azalea has since changed her tune. In follow-up tweets to her morning admission, Iggy added, "This is just like a second shot to the chest. And I feel like I don't even know who the hell it is I've been loving all this time." [[385041951, C]]
"People in this world are really f--ked up," she finished.
The "New Classic" artist's candid confession comes as rumors continue to swirl that he impregnated his ex-girlfriend Keonna Green, who is also the mother of Young's first child, Nick Young Jr. According to a report by Life &Style, Green is four months pregnant after a one-night stand with her ex-boyfriend.
"Nick waited until Keonna was four months pregnant to tell Iggy the news," an insider told the magazine. "He was drunk and had a lapse in judgment."
"He said it was a one-night stand and will never happen again," the insider added.
Azalea wrote on Twitter that she has "never beeen told by [Nick] that his baby mother is pregnant, so if this is true I'm finding out via E! News." [[385042131, C]]
Young and Azalea's split seemed somewhat amicable in the beginning, but now it looks to have completely disintegrated. When photos were snapped of a towing company retrieving a blue 1962 Chevy Impala from the her home, the Aussie rapper took to Twitter to clear the air on another rumor that she had her ex's car, which she gave to him for Christmas, removed.
"I never had anyone's car towed nor did I kick nick out of 'my' house," she tweeted. "The home belongs to nick, I am the one moving. Thanks (sic)."

These are five books Canadian books that I have found particularly helpful to me during the past year, and which I have used in doing my own genealogy. I would suggest that you may find them helpful, too -
British Home Children: Their Stories. Compiled by the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa (ISBN 978-1-926797-47-2). A compilation of personal essays in which 36 children tell their life stories of how they came to Canada, and the life they lived here between 1869 and 1948.
The book is available from Global Genealogy at http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/home-children/resources/101189.htm
Tracing Your Irish Roots is published by Moorshead Magazines (ISBN 978-0-9781592-6-9). A great collection of fifteen articles previously printed by the publisher since 2005.
It is available through Moorshead Magazines at http://familychronicle.com/Best_of_Irish.htm
And as part of a series, her sister publication, Tracing Your English and Scottish Ancestors also has fifteen articles in it about English and Scottish genealogy.
It is available from http://familychronicle.com/best_of_engscot_contents.htm
One of the best books published in 2010—and which I use as my "go to" book on immigration, citizenship, and naturalization—is Dave Obee's book, Destination Canada: A Genealogical Guide to Immigration Records. (ISBN: 978-0-9735143-3-9)
For any questions that I am asked about immigration, I always include Obee's book in my searching for the answer because I want to make sure that I am aware of all of the facts surrounding immigration to Canada.
To read the rest of the review, go to http://genealogycanada.blogspot.com/2011/04/destination-canada.html.
The book is available from http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/general/resources/319005.htm
Glenn Wright's Canadians at War 1914-1919, A Research Guide to World War One Service Records (ISBN13: 978-1-926797-45-5). This is a very detailed book on the resources available to a researcher on the Canadians who fought in the First World War.
A military archivist at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) before his retirement a number of year ago, he has left no stone unturned in his description of the resources available to the researcher. You can read the full review in Families, the journal of the Ontario Genealogical Society (a membership in the organization is required), or from Global Genealogy's listing at http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/military/resources/101160.htm

Mom's Stuffing, Lightened Up Recipe
Day old whole wheat French bread, bacon, onion, celery, sage and parsley are combined then baked to make a place at your Thanksgiving table.
My mom always makes Thanksgiving dinner, she loves cooking and entertaining and wouldn't have it any other way. We all help out by bringing a side dish, appetizers, and dessert so she's not doing all the work, and this way we get to enjoy our time together because isn't that what it's all about?
Although we all bring sides, my Mom always makes the stuffing. I've taken my Mom's recipe and lightened it up for all to enjoy. For more people double this recipe, Mom always stuffs the turkey with one batch, and makes another batch in a casserole dish served on the side.
It's best to cut the bread and let it sit out overnight to get hard, but if your pressed for time you can put it in the oven at 250°F for about 30 minutes, stirring half way until the bread is completely firm.
How do you spend your Thanksgiving and who's doing the cooking?

Lots of people think that if you can't use rice like the Sephardim do on Pesach, nor matza meal like many Ashkenazim do on Pesach, then there's "nothing left to eat!" This article is being written to dispel all these gloomy forecasts. Baruch Hashem, there is so much you can do if you just turn your creative juices up. Clip this out and save it – it's also great for those who need to eat gluten-free. Let's focus now on some delicious dishes that present really beautifully, and then on some easy and refreshing desserts.
Tri-Layered Vegetable Kugel (serves 10)
I love this kugel, how beautiful it looks, how different it is, and how much everyone always loves it. It does not freeze well, though, so make it the ay you are serving it, or a day in advance and refrigerate – then reheat for about 30 minutes and serve.
You will need a 9-10 inch springform pan for this recipe
Carrot/Sweet Potato Layer:
4 carrots 1 large sweet potato
Potato Layer:
5 potatoes, peeled
Green Zucchini Layer:
6 firm, large green zucchinis 1 large potato
For each layer, boil the ingredients, drain, and mash them and put them in three separate bowls.
Separately from all of this, you will need: 4 large onions, diced 3 tablespoons olive or walnut oil
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high flame. Add the onions and sauté until golden. Divide these sautéed onions evenly between the three bowls of vegetables you prepared.
Now add to each bowl: 2 eggs 3–4 tablespoons potato starch 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Mix each combination until all the ingredients are incorporated. Take out a 9-10 inch round spring-form pan and coat it very lightly with a small amount of oil.
Pour in the potato layer, and smooth it around. Add the orange layer and smooth it around. Add the green layer and smooth it down. Bake for 45–55 minutes, in a 350° oven until firm and set.
Potato-Sweet Potato Roll (serves 10)
This is a really nifty new recipe that my Rebbetzin gave me and it is such a great idea I just had to share it! The only drawback I can think of is that it does not freeze in advance, but I wasn't going to let that stop me…
2 medium sized sweet potatoes
2 onions
2 carrots
2 white potatoes
1 red pepper
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup potato starch, sifted
1 & 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 – 7 additional potatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Line a flat jelly roll pan with baking paper. Spray the paper with oil as well. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F/ 190°C.
Now pay close attention. Shred the two sweet potatoes, two onions, carrots, two potatoes and red pepper. Squeeze out any excess liquid that comes off of the vegetables. Add in the eggs, oil, salt and pepper. Measure 3/4 cup potato starch; with a little tea strainer, sift it over the vegetable mixture and then mix it all together by hand. If the mixture seems too liquidy, you can add up to 1/4 cup more potato starch but don't overdo it as it may taste too dry. Lay this orange vegetable layer down on your oiled baking paper and bake it until it is browned on top.
While it is baking, peel the additional 6 or so potatoes, and then boil, drain, and mash them. Add 2 teaspoons salt and a dash of pepper and set aside.
When the orange layer is browned on top, remove it from the oven and flip it out onto another piece of baking parchment paper on a flat surface, immediately. Peel off the layer of paper it was baked with, which should be facing upwards at this point. It may leech a bit of water, this is fine.
Right away spread on the mashed potatoes in an even, thin layer. Now, roll the entire thing up jelly roll style using the paper to help you. As soon as it is rolled, immediately cover with foil. Lay it down flat and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight.
Once cold, slice the "roll" and re-wrap until you are ready to heat it up for use. To heat it up, preheat the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350°F / 180°C. Layer a flat baking tray with a fresh piece of parchment baking paper. Place the slices on the paper, spray with a small bit of oil and slide into the oven. Serve alone or with gravy or mushroom sauce spooned over its center.

ATTN: Florida Bar Applicants! I can help!
My name is Kristen and I am a former analyst at the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, (from May 2008 -- December 2012). It was my job to conduct background investigations of applicants to the Florida Bar, such as yourself, and to prepare reports to be viewed by the Board and Supreme Court. This experience allows me the unique opportunity to help you through your bar application process: be it from beginning to end, or wherever you are in the process now.
As I'm sure your law school has told you, it is imperative that you complete your bar application with the utmost honesty and candor; however, there are other mistakes that can get you into trouble and greatly lengthen your processing time or result in investigative and/or formal hearings, or withhold of admission. I'd like to use my experience to help you avoid these mistakes.
The Florida Board of Bar Examiners typically tells you that "Normal processing of your bar application takes 6-8 months." Unfortunately, they do no explain "normal." If you are not "normal" (ie: you meet certain internal criteria that requires further review by staff) processing can take over a year. This can be very frustrating to an applicant or worse, an applicant's current or potential employer. I have the ability to look over your application and give you an estimate as to whether your application will require further review or hearings, and I can suggest courses of action to help ameliorate any mistakes you may have made (inadvertently or not).
Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions about how I can help you. Confidentiality and discretion were absolute requirements when I worked for the Board and that standard continues in my relationship with you. Whether you'd just like a fresh pair of eyes to look over and make corrections to your bar application before submission (typically $100) or have someone you can speak to throughout the processes and help you when responding to the board's requests (typically $300), I'd like to offer my assistance and the peace of mind that comes from having someone to talk to who understands this process and will be honest with you about it.
Please feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn as well:
