It's really hard to believe that I'm back in the kitchen. Passover has just barely ended and I really thought I wouldn't want to see another pot or pan for at least a month! But the kids are hungry and guests are coming so duty calls. To liven things up, I've peeked at some new cookbooks and I really like what I discovered in The Kosher Carnivore by June Hersh, published by St. Martin's Press. She's got some updated takes on some old favorites and I'm eager to try many of her recipes. To whet your appetite and get you back in the kitchen also, here is a preview of some of her offerings.
Lamb Sliders
When making a big burger, nothing beats ground beef, but for these small sliders, where you want a punch of flavor, nothing comes close to the taste of lamb. Most markets now sell kitschy tiny buns to house sliders, but mini pocket pitas would work too. Top the sliders with a schmeer of scallion mayo and the usual suspects such as sliced tomatoes or peppery arugula.
Behind the Counter Have your butcher grind the lamb for you, it can come from the shoulder, neck, breast or shank- or a combination.
Yields about 1- dozen sliders or 4 full size burgers
Start to Finish Under 15 minutes
For the sliders
- 1½ pounds ground lamb
- 3 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 1 scallion finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons), white and green portion
Scallion Mayo
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped scallion
- 1 teaspoon finely minced flat-leaf parsley
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- Pinch of cumin
- Squeeze of a lemon
Gently combine all the ingredients and form the ground lamb into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Press your thumb into the top of the burger, this will prevent it from puffing up while cooking. Light the broiler or grill, heat till nice and hot, and cook the burgers just till they are pink, several minutes on each side. Serve with the scallion mayo and your favorite toppings.
Oregano is a principle flavor in Mediterranean cooking, and is the primary herb in many Greek and Italian dishes. Oregano is one herb that I prefer dried to fresh. The drying mellows the intense flavor and prevents the oregano from overpowering the dish. There are many varieties of oregano on the market, if buying one look for Italian oregano, which is a hybrid blend of sweet and spicy elements and imparts a spirited flavor. If your pantry can hold two types, definitely reach for Greek oregano as well. Its pungent zip will wake up your taste buds.
Pushcart Puppies
The pushcarts of New York are famous for their soft salted pretzels and steaming franks. By combining the two, right in your kitchen, you create sidewalk paradise. When filled with plump beef franks, these are terrific for Sunday game day, or to make any time with children as fun pick-up food.
Start to Finish: Under 2 hours
For the dough
- 1 cup lukewarm water (about 110 to 115 degrees)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
For the hot dogs
- 10 fat (knockwurst or dinner--size) beef, chicken, or turkey hot dogs
- 8 cups water
- 1/2 cup baking soda
For the egg wash
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
- Coarse salt
- Spicy brown mustard for serving
Combine the water, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a standing mixer. Gently stir and let the yeast bubble for 10 minutes (if it doesn't, the yeast isn't fresh). After 10 minutes, add the salt, flour, and margarine. Place the bowl on the mixer, and with the dough hook attachment, combine the ingredients on low speed, then increase to medium speed and continue to mix the all the ingredients are well combined and the dough completely pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead with your hands for just a minute. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, as needed, and up to 1/4 cup. Place the dough in a large bowl that has been lightly greased with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, until roughly doubled in size.
When the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Fill a shallow pot with 8 cups of water and the baking soda and bring to a boil. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 10 pieces. Dry the hot dogs with paper towels; you don't want them to make the dough soggy. Take a piece of dough and gently roll or pull it into a 4- to 5-inch circle. Roll the hot dog up in the dough, just like a blanket; you can tuck in the ends as you roll or let the ends of the hot dog peek out. Continue until you have prepared all 10 pieces.
Drop the wrapped hot dogs, one at a time, into the boiling water, and allow them to boil for 40 to 50 seconds each. Remove them with a slotted spoon, shake off the water, and place on the lined baking sheet. Brush each hot dog with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse kosher salt. Bake at 450 degrees, for 12 minutes, or until the blankets are a golden brown. Serve whole, cut in half, or sliced on the diagonal for smaller bites. Dunk liberally in spicy brown mustard.
Grandma Rose's Cabbage Soup
My grandmother Rose would cook up a pot of this Russian inspired soup all year long, with thick pieces of flanken flavoring the soup and hotdogs swimming happily in the broth. Some preferred bowls ladled with more meat and cabbage, while others dunked chunks of bread in the beefy broth. We never knew whether to eat it with a spoon or a fork, so I put both out and let my guests choose.
Behind the Counter Have your butcher cut the flanken short rib style into 2-inch long riblets. I wouldn't think of substituting any other meat, some things you just don't mess with. For the hotdogs, the thicker the better.
About 8 to 10 servings
Start to Finish Under 2 ½ hours
- 1 large head of green cabbage, cored and shredded
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, with ½ cup of its juice
- 3 to 4 pounds short ribs cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 (15-ounce) can sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
- 2 quarts beef stock
- 8 jumbo hotdogs, sliced into ¼-inch thick slices
- The juice of 1 lemon (more or less to taste)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place the shredded cabbage in a very large soup pot. Add the tomatoes, crushing them over the pot with your hands, allowing the juices to stream in. Add ½ cup of the juice from the can. Tuck the ribs into the cabbage and top with the sauerkraut. Pour the stock into the pot and bring to a strong simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 1½ to 2 hours. If the meat is not falling off the bone, cook an additional 30 minutes. When the meat is cooked, remove it from the pot, and cut the meat into large chunks and reserve. Add the hotdogs and the juice from the lemon and cook for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If time allows, refrigerate the soup overnight, and remove the solidified fat. Reheat and serve the soup with a piece of short rib in each bowl, plenty of hotdogs and extra lemon to squeeze for a more sour taste.
Moroccan Chicken
Moroccan and Indian cuisine, although separated by land and water, both feature foods that elevate exotic spice blends. This dish is a fusion of both Indian and Moroccan flavor profiles, bringing out the best in their global influences. Authentically a tajine, earthen clay pot, is used to slow bake the dish, but you can easily recreate this fragrant and intoxicating stew with your braising pot. This recipe utilizes Indian yellow curry, which has a pungent combination of spices including turmeric, which gives it its yellow color, coriander and red pepper, for a pop of heat. The addition of preserved lemons (see page 258-259) and brined green olives are classic Moroccan ingredients that add a salty tart essence, while the chickpeas, a common Indian ingredient adds a playful element to the stew.
Side Note The perfect landing spot for the chicken would be a bed of rice, and nothing would be more authentic then basmati rice with a hint of the preserved lemon. (See pages 232-233)
About 4 servings
Start to Finish 2 hours or up to overnight to marinate the chicken, then under 1 ½ hours to cook
- 1 (3 ½-4 pound) chicken, cut into eights
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the rub
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon yellow curry
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch ground cloves, optional
For the stew
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 ½ tablespoons)
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, add only if your curry does not have red pepper
- ¼ teaspoon good saffron threads
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon yellow curry
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 slices preserved lemon, rind only (homemade or look for citrons confits at your market)
- 1 cup Picholine olives or caper berries, un-pitted
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, optional
Dry the chicken and place it on a small baking pan, rub the pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with the rub mixture. Cover the tray and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the fridge. Heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in a braising pot or tajine. Brown the chicken, over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, the chicken will easily release from the pan when it is ready to turn. You might need to do this in batches. Reserve the chicken.
In the same pot, cook and stir the onion, garlic, red pepper, if using, saffron, cumin and curry. You want the spices to toast while the onions and garlic cook, over medium heat, about 10 minutes. The aroma will be irresistible and the onions should look like little niblets of corn from the infusion of spices.
Add the chicken back to the pot along with the stock and a cinnamon stick. Cover and cook over low heat for at least 30 minutes, the chicken should be fork tender. At that time, add the preserved lemon, olives and chickpeas, if using. Continue cooking another 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into deep dishes and serve with warmed pita bread to mop up the sauce.
Coffee Crusted Hanger Steak
Why not save time and have your coffee with your dinner rather than after. Freshly ground espresso beans and lots of companion spices combine to give a little jolt to the seared crust of this full-flavored steak.
Side Note For the complete steakhouse experience, try whipping up a batch of creamed spinach to serve on the side.
Behind the Counter Have your butcher cut hanger steak, remove the sinewy vein and present two halves, each half makes one perfect serving. Alternate cuts rib eye, rub steak (+$) or a "London broil" cut from the shoulder (-$).
About 2 servings
Start to finish Under 30 minutes
- 1 (1- to – 1 ¼ – pound) hanger steak, halved
- 2 tablespoons espresso or strong coffee beans, ground
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil
Preheat the grill or a stovetop grill pan. Grind the coffee and spices in a spice or coffee grinder and pour that out onto a large plate. Let the steaks come to room temp, coat them in oil and then roll in the ground coffee and spice mixture. Grill, about 15 minutes for rare – medium/rare turning the steaks to brown all sides. After a 10 minutes rest, cut into large slices on the diagonal.

I've struggled with my weight ever since I quit smoking thirty years ago, going up and down 30 pounds several times. All I can tell you is that it's a helluva lot easier going up than it is coming down, though you probably already knew that.
Five months ago I took up the cues offered occasionally by Glenn Reynolds to the work of science writer Why We Get Fat. Taubes recommends a low-carb/no-carb diet, as some of the popular diet books apparently do, both for reasons of weight control and overall health.
I reported on my experience following a low carb/no carb diet after 25 days in "Dietetically incorrect." I have now been following an unmethodical version of the diet for five months: no bread, no sandwiches, no pasta, no pizza, no fruit, no sugar, no desserts. I haven't eliminated the sugar from salad dressing or the beans from chili, but otherwise have tried to avoid obvious sources of carbohydrates. When hungry between meals I have snacked on cashews or cheese.
As of today, I am down around 25 pounds. Eliminating desserts from my diet and overcoming the craving for them after meals seem like an accomplishment, but I am also eating substantially less than I did before the diet, without trying. One of the attractions of the diet to me was that it doesn't depend on reducing portions.
Other than the weight loss, lethargy in the morning is the most noticeable change that I feel. I haven't figured that out yet.
The first 14 days of the diet made me feel like I did when I quit smoking 30 years ago. I missed desserts. I craved them after every meal. I was depressed not to be able to look forward to them.
After 14 days the cravings vanished, seemingly miraculously, and it has been almost no effort to stay on the wagon for the past four months since my initial post. After that initial post on the subject, incidentally, I read Taubes's (long) New York Times Magazine article "Is sugar toxic?" It "feels" to me like the logical extension of Taubes's dietary writings. If you are struggling with weight issues, Taubes is worth checking out. (I also cited some critical pieces on Taubes in my initial post.) I am grateful to InstaPundit for sending me in his direction.
Taubes is a sober writer. I don't think he is ever intentionally humorous in his writings on diet. For the humorous take we go (as I did in my initial post) to Woody Allen, who gives us something like the condensed version of the Taubes doctrine in his great comedy Sleeper (clip below).

Data integrity
Accurate and reliable values are guaranteed with digital Memosens Technology
One of the main challenges of the pharmaceutical industry is managing between specialty and affordable medicine. Production processes must be kept flexible and efficient, while the demand for short times-to-market and cost pressure are increasing. It is important to focus on innovation and continuous improvement in order to stay up-to-date. Process data should be used to shift from an exclusively quality-focused perspective towards productivity, reliability and innovation.
Get real-time insight into your plant with continuous decision-making variables. Help the operators by providing effective solutions for secure and economical optimization. Go a step further and achieve real process knowledge.
Integrate instrument status data horizontally
Use the same measuring technologies in process development, manufacturing process and quality laboratory
Calibration interval optimization
Digital technology to ease calibration
Identify, analyze and optimize critical manufacturing data
The importance of quality assurance is increasing. Consistent technology helps you acquire reliable data, which is necessary for the release process. In order to mitigate the risk of misinterpretations and quality deficiencies, the same measurement technology should be used in the laboratory and the manufacturing process. Digital technology improves measuring reliability during laboratory trials and up-scaling with full consistency.
Product quality, manufacturing performance and costs are the key elements in drug production. Innovative instrument diagnostics with monitoring and verification functionality significantly increase reliability and reduce risk. Prior to each production run, staff should have an option to quickly and easily verify the condition of critical measurement devices and produce a verification report. As a next step to consider, effort and cost can be reduced by extending calibration intervals.
Undetected sensor failures could lead to non-conformity and quality issues. The installed measurement instruments permanently deliver real-time status information to a central system.

"The Twilight Saga" has turned Kristen Stewart into a global superstar.
And after "Twilight" hauled in over $380 million worldwide, Kristen and company are ready to release "New Moon" on Friday – a movie which fans are already lined up for outside theaters across the globe.

While some stars might be overwhelmed by the attention, Kristen said it was actually a very welcome change for her.
"Does this all register with you?" Matt Lauer asked Kristen during an interview on NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday.

"It does in the way that I'm so used to doing movies that people don't see," Kristen joked of her indie film past.
Although she is thankful for the success her role as Bella Swan has brought, being a global phenomenon can also be quite taxing on a star's schedule. But for Kristen and her fellow "Twilight" stars, they've been too busy to really notice it.
"Luckily, we've been so busy, we haven't really had a second to look up and see what it seems like it is on the outside. It seems really crazy, like we live this life on TV, but it's so not true," she explained.

"We've made two movies this year – 'New Moon' and 'Eclipse' – so in a way, it's actually the coolest opportunity an actor can be given because we not only get to explore our character for more than six weeks, which is what I'm used to on an independent movie," Kristen continued.
The 19-year-old actress was also appreciative of the legions of "Twi-hard" fans.
"It's also… I've never been able to share what I love with so many people – this is a once in a lifetime [opportunity]. We make movies for people. I'll never have this… they call it a phenomenon for a reason," she said.
But Bella isn't the only role on Kristen's radar. She's recently wrapped filming her role as Joan Jett in the biopic "The Runaways." And it's a role she said came with added pressure thanks to her real-life relationship with the rock icon.
"In a way that 'Twilight' is a unique experience, because you not only have a responsibility to yourself and the people you're working with, but all of [the fans], now Joan is such a close friend and this was such a seminal part of her life," Kristen explained. "It was the most important thing in the world to her – she changed rock 'n' roll for women in every way and people don't know that it actually started with the band The Runaways.
"She's amazing and it's awesome," she said of Joan.

Having to replace an escalator in a public facility of any kind is a major headache for the building's management—all that debris and noise, not to mention the inconvenience to visitors and the annoying expense.
Imagine what it would be like to have to replace more than a dozen escalators, in a facility that might have to host a hundred thousand visitors on a busy day.
At Detroit's Cobo Center, 14 glass balustrade escalators have been fully updated over the last two years, with more to come. The work has been clean and quiet, allowing building management to conduct business as usual.
Credit for this accomplishment goes to EcoMod, a complete escalator modernization system from Finnish vertical transport manufacturer KONE. The EcoMod system replaces the entire inner workings of an escalator unit without removing the supporting truss. "The escalators are equivalent to brand-new units but without the hassle," says Claude Molinari, Cobo Center's Assistant General Manager.
Meeting the needs of year-round activity at busy, busy Cobo
Opened in 1960 and expanded in 1989, Cobo Center is one of the country's largest convention sites. The facility hosts events about 320 days a year, including the two-week-long North American International Auto Show each January. Daily attendance can reach 100,000. The center's escalators are critical to moving people through four levels of space, but scant attention had been paid to them for decades, and they were prone to frequent breakdowns. By 2010, they had become a detriment to serving current clients and attracting future shows.
That's when the center's owner, Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority, launched a multi-year, $300 million improvement and expansion program. This time the escalators would be overhauled. The question was how.
"We needed to replace the escalators, but we also had to stay open," says Molinari. "We have several events that use every square inch of space in the building. We can't close pieces of it. To tell someone that one-third of the building you normally occupy is not available this year would not be acceptable."
Another consideration was the restaurants and retailers that operate beneath some of the trusses. A tear-out would mean those businesses would have to shut down for the duration. Again, unacceptable.
Avoiding total replacement
Total tear-out, the traditional escalator replacement method, was deemed impractical. "Total replacement is major construction," says David Paxson, Project Manager and KONE Detroit Branch Manager. "The cost to bring in a general contractor to tear the building apart in a way that allows the truss to be removed is pretty expensive."
Total replacements usually require cutting holes in roofs or façades because materials and equipment are too large to transport through the doors and windows. "It's usually done at night, so you're not doing heavy lifting around the public, which makes it even more expensive," says Paxson.
With the custom-fabricated EcoMod retrofit option, it wasn't necessary to touch the drywall, cladding, or any other parts of the building, according to KONE's Kellie Lindquist, LEED Green Associate. The EcoMod components were built in modules that fit on a conventional skid and were assembled on site.
The Cobo project has been phased, starting with the escalators in poorest condition: 12 in 2011, two in 2012. Five more are in progress. During the first phase, crews took on four escalators at a time at opposite sides of the building.
The process entailed enclosing the workspace with temporary privacy walls, removing the old units, and cleaning and painting the trusses. The drive module was installed at the top, the turnaround station at the bottom. On the incline, brackets were welded to the truss, track was anchored to the brackets, and steps were laid atop the track. New balustrade and handrails were the final touches. It took about 10 weeks to complete four escalators.
The new units meet building codes that were not in place when the original escalators were installed. They come with energy-saving features such as a lubrication-free step chain, power regeneration, and LED lighting. They're also equipped with missing step detectors, handrail speed sensors, a narrowed step-to-skirt gap, and other current safety features.
"The technology that gets installed is the same technology as if you put in all brand new," says Lindquist. "We're just installing it using a different method."
Cobo Center's Molinari says he conducted a cost comparison between total replacement and the KONE method and was able to document a 50% savings for the facility using the EcoMod system.
Molinari says he enjoys greater peace of mind knowing today's visitors have a safer, quieter, more pleasant experience than in the past. "I was somewhat skeptical at first," says Molinari. "I knew I had to accept a certain amount of inconvenience, but I was surprised how little interruption it caused. For the most part, people had no idea the escalators were being worked on."

In an effort to provide one place to see the restaurants I have been to in Chiriquí, I am starting this post. I will put a link in the Link area for Chiriquí Restaurants so that this post can be located easily. I will try to keep it current and remove restaurants that are no longer in business and add new restaurants that open that I have gone to.
As a note, the following will provide links to posts I have done on each restaurant. I will make an attempt to have the URL point to a post that has directions. There may be more than one post for any restaurant in the blog. I have tried to connect all posts to other posts by either a reference in the post or there will be a comment that will point to another post. By visiting other posts on the same restaurant, you will have an opportunity to see more of the food offerings that I have sampled.
This is not a perfect system, but this is a blog and not a Yellow Pages. As with all posts in a blog related to restaurants, they age and sometimes the quality of the restaurant's offerings are not the same. Some restaurants improve and some don't. If you go to any restaurant below, a comment on the most recent post might help other readers know how that restaurant is doing. At least then, all opinions will not be just mine. Many people have different tastes than I do.
Also, if there are restaurants that I haven't been to that have been reviewed on another blog, I will be happy to list it with a link to that blog's post. I trust most blogs more than I do ads.
FINAL NOTE: Any posts that contain menus and prices were current at the time of the post. The primary reason to show the menu is to give you an idea of what is served at the restaurant. Please do not bad mouth the restaurant because they may have changed the menu contents or prices.

Leaving his re-election prospects in the hands of voters, President Barack Obama congratulated rival Mitt Romney "on a spirited campaign" and declared he's "confident we've got the votes to win."
After closing down his campaign late Monday with a nostalgia-filled rally in Iowa, Obama went back to exhorting his supporters during a Tuesday morning visit to a campaign office near his South Side Chicago home. He called volunteers in neighboring Wisconsin.
Obama was greeted by thunderous applause from about two dozen volunteers, many with tears streaming down their faces. Removing his suit coat, he sat down to make calls. "Let's get busy," he said.
"Hopefully we'll have a good day," he told a woman in one call. "Keep working hard all the way through."

Speaking to reporters, Obama said that after all the ads and electioneering "it comes down to one day" and declared that "a source of great optimism."
After offering congratulations to Romney, he added: "I know his supporters are just as engaged, just as enthusiastic."
Obama was spending Election Day in his hometown of Chicago, making his last appeals to voters in a round of satellite interviews with TV stations in swing states rather than a final flurry of campaign rallies.
The president headed into Election Day locked in a close race with Romney, according to national polls. But he appeared to have a slight edge in some of key battlegrounds that will decide the contest, including Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Obama spent Monday night at the home where he lived with his family before moving to the White House.
There was no traditional Election Day photo of Obama casting his ballot Tuesday because he voted in Chicago last week, part of his campaign's efforts to promote early voting. First lady Michelle Obama voted by absentee ballot.
One tradition Obama will keep, however, is an Election Day basketball game.
In 2008, Obama played basketball with aides before winning the kickoff Iowa caucuses. The president and his aides decided to make the games an Election Day tradition after they lost the next contest—the New Hampshire primary—on a day when they didn't hit the court.
"We made the mistake of not playing basketball once. I can assure you we will not repeat that," said Robert Gibbs, a longtime Obama aide who joined the president on the road for the campaign's waning days.
The president planned to have lunch and dinner at his home but would spend other parts of the day at a downtown hotel, where he would be joined in the evening by family, friends and aides to await the election returns.
He was expected to speak—delivering either a victory or concession speech—at his campaign's election night party at McCormick Place convention center.

Bird Walk with NYC Audubon
Saturday, July 12, 2014
8:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m.
This event repeats every week on Saturday between 4/5/2014 and 11/29/2014.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
NYC Audubon experts lead the way as we marvel at quirky but logical bird behavior and delicate feathers in exquisite patterns.
Influential birders such as Roger Tory Peterson and Allan D. Cruickshank learned their craft on Van Cortlandt Park's ecologically diverse grounds, and these walks celebrate the tradition set by them. Participants will look for resident and migrant species and discuss a wide range of avian topics. No registration necessary. No limit. Free. When birding on your own, check the Nature Sightings log in front of the Nature Center before you head out. At the end of walks, please add your sightings to the log, so others may be aware of recent nature happenings in the park.
Bring binoculars if you have them and wear sturdy shoes!
For more information about the birding program, visit: http://www.vcpark.org/the-park/features/9-birding.html
Parking is available at Van Cortlandt Golf Course. Enter the park at Bailey Ave. & Van Cortlandt Park South. The first lot on your left is free.

9 Reasons Why Baby Showers Are the Absolute Worst
Wow, congrats on getting pregnant, friend. Can you just spare us and let us mail you some diapers direct from Amazon? Because NOBODY wants to go to your stupid baby shower.
Just take this 3-pack of onesies as a token of our support for your decision to have unprotected sex and make a human. Good work. How about some burp cloths? We don't even know what they're for, but according to every baby shower ever you can never have too many, so just take them all. Please, please, PLEASE do not make us actually come to your baby shower. Our list of reasons is long and true.
There will be no booze.
What kind of party is this? At least at a bridal shower there's a sliver of a chance of seeing some helicopter action. Or whiskey. Do all pregnant women like to sit quietly indoors and sip lemonade from paper cups? Is that a thing now? And if you BYOB, you're suddenly the jerk who's getting wasted on homemade bloody mary's (vodka from a flask and some tomato juice we found in the back of your fridge) in front of the glowing mother-to-be.
The games. Dear Lord, the games.
"Oh hey, let's melt some candy bars in a diaper so it looks like a pile of crap, and then make people guess if it's a Snickers or a Baby Ruth!" Do not do this. If this happens at the next baby shower we go to, we're going to use one of those diapers and then stick it in there with the rest of them. THAT sounds like fun.
Something tells us none of these are veterinarian-grade horse tranquilizers. Boo.
You know what would be fun? Sitting quietly and taking a test!
Just kidding. If we wanted to take a test, we would have gone to a college that had grades and actually done something with our life.
Also this:
We guess since there is no booze these aren't *technically* a choking hazard. Although, as far as we're concerned, this is more of a double-fault than a plus.
Pregnancy is full of sweet surprises!
Like preeclampsia! And mucus plugs! Listen, we will sip your watery lemonade, and clap when you pull another pacifier out of a gift bag, but don't make us pretend there isn't something with fingernails growing inside you, cool?
And why is eating baby-shaped things okay all of a sudden?
We know we may have come across as slightly anti-baby, but that does not mean we want to chow down on one. Seriously, WTF, you guys.
This is straight-up a picture of a fetus that you're supposed to eat.
A line has been crossed at this point. Maybe if you filled a plastic sack with some pulled pork and called it "placenta," we would be cool with that. MAYBE. But "eat this picture of my unborn child" is just a *touch* too much for us.
At least we're not the only one who's having a bad time.
We can basically imagine how all of these scenarios got started. Please do not invite us to your baby shower.

The bill passed 47-38.
As the Muqata's recent successful counter-boycott of Scottish Whisky (in response to the anti-Semitic Scottish West Dunbartonshire council's boycott of Israeli books) proved, taking a proactive stance against these boycotts and the BDS movement works.
The authors clearly had in mind the BDS movement, the PA boycott, the Scottish West Dunbartonshire boycott, and the 20 Israeli companies that signed boycott agreements with the PA.
I believe this is the final wording of the bill (and a translated version is here). What is clear is that it is solely in reference to those who would do this to harm Israel (not the Cottage Cheese boycott for instance).
But as usual, the suicidal Left is frothing at the mouth, muttering inanities in their attempt to disarm Israel's right and ability to defend itself. And of course hoping you won't read the bill to see what it actually says.
Here are some recent statements made by those acolytes of self-destruction:
MK Eitan Cabel (Labor) called the bill "a cowardly law," and "another law in a series of fascist laws drafted by the government."
Kadima statement: He [Netanyahu] has crossed a red line of stupidity and national irresponsibility… The boycott bill is a mark of disgrace for Netanyahu's government and the State of Israel and its citizens will pay for it dearly.
Knesset Member Ilan Gilon (Meretz), "I know of nothing that causes more de-legitimization for Israel abroad than these acts of legislation".
MK Shai Hermesh (Kadima) said the bill harms basic rights.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel called it "an antidemocratic step, intended to create a chilling effect on civil society."
Adalah – the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, said it would appeal the law to the High Court and ask that it be annulled. They claim the bill violates international law and the laws of torts.
As far as I know, until yesterday every single Western country in the world, except for two, has laws making participation in boycotts against Israel illegal. Today, the UK stands alone in dishonor with no anti-boycott law on the books.
For example, since 1976, it has been illegal for any US citizen to participate in the Arab boycott against Israel – punishable by fines of up to $50,000 or five times the value of the exports involved or jail term of up to 10 years.
The definition of participation includes:
- Agreements to refuse or actual refusal to do business with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.
- Agreements to discriminate or actual discrimination against other persons based on race, religion, sex, national origin or nationality.
- Agreements to furnish or actual furnishing of information about business relationships with or in Israel or with blacklisted companies.
- Agreements to furnish or actual furnishing of information about the race, religion, sex, or national origin of another person.
Wasn't it just the other day the Left were attacking some anonymous video editor who used his right to free speech to juxtapose the brutal beatings of religious Jews by the police to that of images of storm troopers doing the same? Unless the Left hypocritically were supporting some law that limited free speech, while ignoring unquestionable brutality.
And here we have a law that calls for civil penalties for those that effect an embargo against Israeli products because they are Israeli, and the Left are saying it impinges on basic freedoms.
What a bunch of sick hypocrites.

WASHINGTON - June 14, 2013
Key Senate Republicans are working to develop a compromise on border security that would satisfy GOP demands for stronger enforcement language in a far-reaching immigration bill without costing Democratic support, lawmakers and aides said Thursday.
To win over skeptical Republicans, senators are considering mandating specific requirements for equipment and other tools along the U.S.-Mexico border, instead of just leaving it up to the Obama administration, said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., an author of the bill.
"That may be a way to assuage the concern of some of our friends that are concerned about border security," McCain said. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., another author, has discussed the same approach.
The talks were under way behind-the-scenes at the Capitol Thursday even as the Senate voted 53 to 47 to defeat an amendment by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, that would have required a controlled border for six months before any immigrant here illegally could take the first steps toward citizenship. It was the first amendment the Senate voted on to the White House-backed immigration legislation.
The outcome suggested that bill supporters have work to do to lock down the 60 votes that will likely be needed to overcome GOP stalling tactics and get it passed in the Senate by July Fourth, the timeline set by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The bill, which would amount to the most significant changes to immigration law in decades, would require all employers to check workers' legal status, allow tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers into the country, and create a 13-year path to citizenship for some 11 million people now here illegally.
The bill also devotes billions to new equipment and personnel along the U.S.-Mexico border, and says the path to citizenship can't go forward until certain border security requirements are met. But critics say these "triggers" are too weak, because in some cases they require the Department of Homeland Security to implement plans, not actually show results.
"If we pass the bill as it is there will be no pressure on this administration or future administrations to secure the border," Grassley said.
Rubio has been saying that stronger language on border security would be needed to ensure passage in the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled House. The question now is how to do that without raising concerns among Democrats that the path to citizenship would be delayed – the reason that Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and others gave for opposing Grassley's amendment Thursday.
In the absence of an amendment that answers Republican concerns without alienating Democrats, Republicans have been voicing support for a measure by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, that requires 100 percent surveillance of the border and 90 percent of would-be crossers to be stopped before anyone can get a permanent resident green card. The bill as written includes those same figures as goals but doesn't make the citizenship path contingent on them.
Schumer, McCain and others have dismissed Cornyn's amendment as a non-starter, but they need to give Republicans who've backed it something else to support instead.
"We need to either convince Sen. Cornyn to move a little bit in our direction or have an alternative, and we're working on an alternative that will satisfy many of the concerns the Republicans have," McCain said. Schumer said all the Gang of Eight senators who wrote the bill met Wednesday night and agreed they were open to changes on border security as long as they didn't alter the bill's core provisions or slow the path to citizenship.
Schumer and the three other Democratic authors of the bill, along with Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., met with President Barack Obama at the White House Thursday to discuss strategy.
As written the bill requires the Homeland Security Department to develop a plan to secure the border, but many Republicans distrust the department to do that. So McCain said he's gotten specifics from the Border Patrol on equipment, sensors, and other tools that would be required in each of the nine border sectors to achieve a 90 percent rate of stopping border crossers. The idea is to include those details in the bill and require the Homeland Security Department to implement them, to give supporters assurances that goals on border security would actually be carried out
Although a number of Republican senators have their own border security amendments, the hope is to develop a single consensus alternative with as many Republican sponsors as possible. McCain and other bill authors have been working with a number of other Republicans outside their group including Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and John Hoeven, R-N.D.

With companies like Google creating self-driving cars and augmented-reality glasses, futurist Ray Kurzweil's predictions are starting to sound much more realistic.
Kurzweil, cofounder of Singularity University, became famous for creating the first text-to-speech software. Forbes called him "the ultimate thinking machine."
With technology advancing at an increasingly rapid rate, and researchers making serious headway into discovering the mysteries of the brain, it seems as if we'll all be reconstituted as a computer someday.
Here's a summary of what our future will be like, Kurzweil said in a speech at the Demo conference in Silicon Valley this past week:
- Our brains will extend to the cloud, which will allow us to learn new things at any age.
- We will be able to selectively erase pieces of our memory.
- We'll be in augmented reality at all times.
- By 2029, machines will be able to match the intelligence of humans, and they'll be able to make us laugh and cry.
- Around the 2030s, tiny "nanobots" able to repair and preserve our organs will keep us healthier and smarter.
- 3D printing will be even more common than it is today, with public 3D printing stations for people to print out clothes, toys, and anything else.
- Within 25 years, computers will be the size of a blood cell and we'll be able to connect it to the brain without the need for surgery.
- Society will reach a state of "technological singularity" in 2045 where technology enables superhuman machine intelligences to emerge and people and machines become deeply integrated.

Every year, on the third weekend of September, an odd thing happens in the pastoral village of Hemmingford. The normally quiet town encircled by farmers' fields, apple orchards and wineries becomes packed so tight it can be hard to walk on the main drag as the population of 800 swells to nearly 10 times that, packed with bargain seekers and antique hunters.
"There's a buzz everywhere," said resident Elizabeth Thompson. "It's amazing."
The buzz is due in large part to Thompson, who for the last decade has been organizing the Hemmingford Community Garage Sale, now in its 19th year. More than 100 households and local groups participate, setting out antiques, clothing, toys, appliances and locally produced food for sale. Tents are set up for the multi-family sales — Thompson's extended clan alone has five families participating. Local businesses and artisans also sell their wares out on the streets.
"I'll sell as much in two days as I do in the entire month of May," said Marie-Annick Pilon, a transplanted Montrealer who fell in love with Hemmingford and has run the Yesteryear General Store, filled with homemade preserves and candies and crafts from local artisans, for the last six years. "But I'm up at 4 a.m. to start preparing the tent out front. You're exhausted by the end."
Last year, Burger Bob over on Route 219 served 1,200 people over the two days.
The sales area spills out of the village and into surrounding Hemmingford Township, first settled by United Empire Loyalists in the late 1700s.
To help out-of-towners navigate, Thompson creates a map and 12-page brochure with the help of Pilon and local businesses who chip in. It's available at shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood. She'll print out close to 1,000 copies.
People come in from Montreal, New York, Vermont and Kahnawake to shop for deals and enjoy the countryside. ("People there tell me half of Kahnawake is in Hemmingford on the weekend," Thompson said. Last year, Kahnawake's country music station did a live broadcast from the sale.) One year, even the king of Malaysia made an appearance, driving through with a police escort, lights flashing. He was actually in the area to learn more about local stable that offers horse rides for autistic children.
"Thank goodness he drove through on a Sunday," Thompson said. "If it was Saturday, they would have driven right over us."
To spread the word, Thompson advertises in newspapers, on radio and television throughout the region and in the United States and Ontario. She distributes flyers at country fairs, and even brings them, translated into Spanish, to camps where Mexican migrant workers live. Last year, a busload of workers arrived; one brought an electric keyboard home on his bike.
The sales are the draw, but it's the region and its friendly residents that entice people to return to visit the village and its surrounding farms and wineries — which is the main idea.
"People have to see for themselves what it's like to be here, just once," said Thompson, who has lived there all her life. Her brother runs the family cattle farm, all 300 of them. "Then they'll be back, for sure."
To get a taste of the area, my wife and I brought our bikes and cycled up the small local roads (we were advised to stay off the numbered highways, which have too much traffic and no shoulders) toward Covey Hill, the 342-metre-high viewpoint from which you can see Montreal to the north and the Adirondack Mountains to the south on a clear day.
We passed by attractive farmhouses and cattle farms, apple orchards with clever names like La face caché de la pomme, alpaca farms and butchers selling their livestock.
All around us were wide open fields rich with the summer's bounty. Part of the Circuit de Paysan running along the U.S. border, there are several orchards, wineries, cider mills, dairies and meat producers along the route, where you can buy produce and get a description of how they are raised in the region known as the Garden of Quebec.
We didn't make it to the top of Covey Hill (it was hot), but we had seen enough to know we'd like to come back, for the sales and the countryside.
If you go:
Hemmingford is a 45-minute drive south of Montreal. Take Highway 15 South, just over the Champlain Bridge, until Exit 6 and follow the signs.
This year's Community Garage Sale takes place Sept. 15-16.
Apple orchards are open for business at the same time, and there are several in the region that allow you to pick your own and buy related products. You can pick up Le Circuit du Paysan map, which has a description of all the local agricultural sellers.
On the second weekend of September (Sept. 8-9 this year) the Havelock Fair is held on the Saturday, and the Woolgathering, a popular artisans' fair, runs on both Saturday and Sunday in Hemmingford.
Parc Safari, with its elephants, rhinos, lions and chimpanzees, is also nearby.

Careful and consistent care of your OneTigris products will ensure its optimal conditions and longer lifetime. Here are some basic cleaning tips for backpacks, pouches, gear and dog vests
▪DIRT REMOVAL - After usage, remove any visible dirt with a soft brush.
▪ZIPPER CARE - Use mild soap, water and a soft brush to clean zippers.
▪STAINS - Use mild detergents, water, and a soft brush or sponge to wipe/scrub off stains.
▪SOAP RESIDUE - Use a wet towel with clean water to wipe away any soap residue.
▪DRYING - Hang item outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
▪REGULAR CLEANING of snap fasteners and D-rings is also very important. After each usage, take a dry cloth to wipe clean metal surfaces; should signs of material oxidation occur, use a small amount of toothpaste to gently cleanse the surface.
▪VELCRO LINT - Once a month, use a line roller, duct tape, lint brush, toothbrush, or a tape dispenser's cutter to tape/scrape the fastener clean. Doing this will keep debris from getting excessively embedded, which is more difficult to remove than surface lint. Before placing your gear in the laundry machine, fasten the hook-and-loop fastener together. Spray the hook-and-loop fastener with anti-static spray after washing.

So the little man got quite the haul from Santa!!! I see you got him a DS...my 5 year old is dying for one but I've been stalling. I'm afraid he'll abandon his lego, and hot-wheels for the DS everyday all day. (I actually have one myself but won't let him use it)....guess I'm trying to put off the video games for as long as possible. Does your little man totally love it and want to play all day or does he still touch is "other" toys!???
