Comics Lowdown | 'The Other History of the DC Universe' gets a release date
Plus: News on Fantagraphics' new logo, the CBLDF, Ignatz Awards and more.
Publishing: DC Comics' long-delayed The Other History of the DC Universe finally has a release date: the first issue by 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley and artists Giuseppe Camuncoli, Andrea Cucchi and José Villarrubia will arrive in November. That issue will focus on Black Lightning, and Ridley spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his history with the character:
When Black Lightning came out, I remember, as a younger person, how that felt to have a series that was led by a man of color, who in his regular identity was a teacher. Like I said, my mom was a teacher. It was a comic book that really, for me, for the first time, I felt like, "Oh, okay, this is for us as much as anybody else. The book, the universe, all of those things, you know, this is for us." If I ever had at an age felt like, "Oh, I want to be a writer, I want to be a creator, I want to be a storyteller, I want to deal in the fantastic," certainly when Black Lightning came out, it was a moment that galvanized that feeling.

Comics Lowdown | BOOM! asks for CBLDF's FCBD anthology to be destroyed
Plus: News on 2019 comics sales, Joe Sacco, Cavan Scott, Grant Morrison, Mexican horror comics and more.
Following the controversy that has come to light recently about the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and its former executive director, BOOM! Studios has asked for a Free Comic Book Day anthology they organized for the CBLDF to be destroyed, according to a report by Newsarama's Chris Arrant.
A CBLDF Free Comic Book Day anthology has been assembled by numerous publishers over the years, and then published by the CBLDF for the annual event. This year's event, of course, was cancelled in May due to the pandemic, but the comics are still being distributed to comic shops to be given out from July through September.
"In light of recent events surrounding the CBLDF, Boom! Studios asked that this year's planned FCBD issue from the CBLDF not be distributed," BOOM! told Newsarama. "Unfortunately, the issue was shipped out to retailers early in error (without being billed). We've requested the CBLDF and Diamond to ask retailers to destroy the copies they received, and a destruction notice should be sent to retailers shortly."
CBLDF president Christina Merkler told the outlet that they respect BOOM!'s wishes and will leave it up to retailers whether they want to distribute the free comic.

Comics Lowdown | More allegations against CBLDF's Brownstein brought to light
Plus: News on Diamond, Art Spiegelman, Dragon Con and more.
Writing for The Comics Journal, Michael Dean has a long article detailing additional allegations against Charles Brownstein, the former executive director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Dean spoke with many former CBLDF, employees, including former Development Manager Cheyenne (Shy) Allott, who had been under an NDA about her time at the CBLDF until recently.
"My trouble with Charles started three days into my employment, at ComicsPro in Memphis, Tennessee," Allott said. "Upon arrival at the show, I went to check into my hotel room only to discover that Charles had booked us in the same room together. I was instantly uncomfortable with this arrangement and for the first time, I saw Charles drop his charming facade and switch into an accusatory tone. He stated that it wasn't fiscally responsible for me to have my own room, as we were a non-profit. I felt like I was misusing funds simply by asking that question." Brownstein did not respond to TCJ's request for comment.
The Comics Journal also sent questions to the CBLDF board, which CBLDF President Christina Merkler responded to. You can read her responses here, but one thing she addressed was whether CBLDF was still viable — a question many have been asking over the last couple weeks:

New Manga From the Author of Astra Lost in Space and Sket Dance Has Begun Serialization
by Marko Jovanovic February 8, 2021
Written by Marko Jovanovic February 8, 2021
Kenta Shinohara, the creator of Kanata no Astra (Asta Lost in Space) and Sket Dance has begun a new manga series. The title of the series is "Witch Watch" and it is a 'magical comedy'. The official Twitter account of Shonen Jump released an illustration:
The synopsis of the story goes:
Morihito, a boy with the strength of an ogre, is about to start living together with his childhood friend NIko, who is training to be a witch. NIko's magic leads to all sorts of unpredictable trouble, and with two teens under one roof… Let the fantastical antics begin! Magical comedy series by Kenta Shinohara creator of SKET DANCE and Astra Lost in Space.
It started in the 10th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. It has a total of 57 pages, although that includes the cover and illustrations as well. You can also read it for free on the MANGA Plus website for free! I've checked out the first chapter and can say I found it entertaining. The main characters have an interesting relationship and the humor didn't feel forced, though that's subjective. I suggest checking out the first chapter and seeing for yourself! The next chapter will come out on Valentine's Day (February 14) at 1AM Japan Standard Time. It also gets a simulrelease on the MANGA Plus website, so we can read it as soon as it's out!
Both Astra Lost in Space and Sket Dance were great, so maybe it's only natural for the new manga to be as well. Another fun fact is probably that Shinohara Kenta worked as an assistant to Hiedaki Sorachi. Sorachi-sensei is the original creator of another great manga, Gintama!

EDITION OF FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2019 [PetPowellPress] — While many people celebrate this particular day year round, March 22 is the designed date for National Goof Off Day. It also is International Goof Off Day. I'm betting this is another category in which Americans lead the globe. OK, just some Americans. Not any of 'em in animal rescue or advocacy or shelter work. You can't goof off and "be there" for animals.
The history of Goof Off Day is at Holiday Insights HERE. I don't really know anyone with the talent and ability to "goof off" but I do envy them. That, is The Senator goofing off with me. He's quite a student of the practice — he's not called "The Senator" for nothin'.
This, of course, is my beloved little dog, Porche Noel, formerly a starving "stray" who is, in this photo, demonstrating how she can goof off. She went to sleep watching me type. She told me she's not sure it's writing that I'm doing but she does know that I'm typing. I feel the same way. Porche is also a "Message Dog." And the message she is presenting is "readlarrypowell.com needs photographs and bios of sleeping dogs and napping cats for our long-running weekend feature Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap." Send photos and info to dallrp@aol.com. We'll show the world how wonderful your companion is when it comes to nodding off, curling up and snoozing or cuddling. If you don't have a sleeping dog or napping cat in your life, get one. You'll discover new dimensions of happy existence.
WHAT THE HECK IS THE HOLDUP?
DOESN'T ANYBODY CARE ABOUT SADIE?
For a while now — back into last week — we've been promoting a rescue of Sadie (80804), a Lab mix who, after being hit by a car, has been waiting in the Denton McNatt Animal shelter for somebody to get her so she can get her leg fixed before it has to be amputated.
If someone takes her, then she won't be enduring life-saving surgery just to be healthy enough to be killed in a city shelter. Amy Poskey, our tipster, says the 2- to 5-year-old dog has lacerations and a fractured knee. She's being sustained at taxpayer expense, but she needs to be repaired so she can thrive.
Call the shelter at 940-349-7594 or email these addresses: gayla.nelsen@cityofdenton.com, julien.peralta@cityofdenton.com, Randi.Weinberg@cityofdenton.com, dentonshelterdogs@yahoo.com, and/or dentonanimalservices@yahoo.com.
Violet — former breeding dog dumped twice and the second time she was dumped the dumpers dumped the two family Chihuahuas right along with her. We wrote about Violet earlier and the big development is that her former companion has joined her in her foster home.
Tatertot may be 8- or 9-years-old. He weighs 11 pounds but will weigh slightly less shortly because he's two lightweigh body parts as soon as he gets the vet's OK. To offer to audition to adopt this pair, call or text 214-783-2060.
And, FYI: Both dogs are adorable, enthusiastic lapdogs.
Sarge (41068881) came in as a stray on March 14. Our tipster, the shelter biographer Judi Brown, says the 51-pound boy has "a soft reddish coat and a ready smile. He does have some scars around his nose. These give him character. He's a fun loving happy, friendly guy that wags his tail a lot. He actually whines for attention. He is highly motivated by treats so should be easy to train.
Please call 972–2 16–6283 or email rescues@cityofmesquite.com. to tag Sarge.
We checked the animal populations at Dallas Animal Services about 3 p.m. Thursday and found that the cat population, down to 8 cats on Tuesday before spring arrived, has DOUBLED TO SIXTEEN cats. And a lot of them are — guess what — kittens. Why is that? Two reasons: This is spring and this is Dallas the most fertile city in the nation. (There are 227 dogs and 7 "other" (all hamsters) in shelter care.
One of the cats in the care of DAS is this beautiful black and white girl is Zinnia, just over a year old, and in the shelter's custody since March17. She's at the PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center, 16821 N. Coit Road, in Dallas. Go to www.dallasanimalservices.org to see how to adopt #A1058390, Zinnia The Beauty.
… OK my fellow '60s Refugees, they're gonna have Woodstock 50 Aug. 16, 17 and 18 at Watkins Glen. N.Y., and there'll be some legends from the old days on the bill: Santana, John Sebastian, Melanie, David Crosby, Country Joe McDonald, Canned Heat — the last act listed for each day is the famous "And More." Always a hit. And by that I don't mean "hit," I mean "successful appearance." The first Woodstock in 1969 was described as "Three days of peace and love." This one is going to be three days of "peace, love, & music." Not sure it'll have the hippie/revolutionary element of Woodstock 1969. I remember the biggest problem was keeping up with your cellphone in all that mud. Here's the LINK to Woodstock50. …Just for old time's sake, here's a Woodstock LINK to Melanie. Right on. Groovy. Peace now.


Adapted from the Minimalist Baker, we love this Smoothie Bowl recipe. It's the perfect summer-time snack, or complete breakfast, as it's loaded with vitamins and nutrients, but still super delicious! The recipe is quick and easy, plus the toppings are totally customizable for your tastes. Enjoy!
For the green smoothie I used strawberries, which let the green color come through more. For the purple bowl I used darker berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries).


Six years after I first heard them, the statistics still haunt me: Eighty-six percent of Black children in the fourth grade read and do math below their grade level. Black girls between the ages of 15 and 24 represent the greatest number of new HIV infections. Homicide is the leading cause of death for our boys. The village is on fire! And our love is the saving, healing water that legions of our children are literally dying for. When we listen we hear their cries rising above the flames. Their voices carry the incendiary pain and humiliation of intergenerational poverty that turns dreams to ashes: days of missed meals, uncertain safety and poorly resourced schools that plenish the pipeline to prison. These are among the many grievous thefts of potential impoverishing the lives of Black children in the land of plenty, a land made rich and powerful on the backs of our ancestors. And it's happening on our watch.
Attorney General Eric Holder charged a national task force with investigating how exposure to violence impacts children. I attended his December 14 meeting at which the culminating findings in the Defending Childhood report were delivered. The violence that children of this nation are subjected to in their homes and communities and glamorized in the media is relentless and chilling. Expert after expert cautioned that exposure to violence traumatizes children and that, unresolved, those traumas easily lead to deep depression and dysfunctional behaviors. These socially disruptive behaviors—our young people's cries for help—lead the nightly news from coast to coast, rousing shame and anxiety. We hold our collective breath and pray, Lord, don't let the crazed one be one of us. But the question that is never asked and answered is why are these young people acting out? What I have come to know in my personal and professional life is this: Understanding the cause of our pain and taking action to address it are crucial to our healing.
With understanding and action, we heal, grow and thrive in profound ways. Held up proudly, nurtured and supported, we have in past generations succeeded despite the often dire economic circumstances, troubled families and traumas that many of us endured coming of age. Who among us isn't carrying some hurt or depression or self-sabotaging habit we yet need to break?
We are a remarkable species, living at an extraordinary time in history, a marvel of creation, human and divine. Love is the divine aspect of our being. It is restorative and healing and elevates everything it touches. That's the promise. Love, God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah—call It what you will. Originating Spirit gave birth to all existence. It's the energy that governs and balances all in creation, every cell in every living thing. It is the unchanging, unfailing, eternal aspect of our being. Spiritual awareness inspires the love, walk-on-water faith, courage and creativity needed to heal everything within us and around us, including the damage done to our people over the seas and centuries. With love and caring we can create the beautiful future we want.
Among my baby-boomer peers are real-world exemplars of the good that is possible when a generation cares and acts out of love: We build schools and cultural institutions, develop businesses, write great books, compose great music and create dances that elevate the spirit. The generation that inspired me –– that inspired the creation of Essence and the building of other Black institutions –– stopped a war, moved young people out of gangs and into breakfast programs that often gave school children the only nutritious meal they had each day. We didn't pull a trigger to settle a beef or join gangs to make family. Even if our own family was broken, our community was whole and stood in the gap. Grownups did not fear or neglect the young. They loved, protected and corrected us. Today, under-resourced Black children have been all but discarded.
While there are no people on earth more kind, caring and creative than us Black folks, a certain world-weariness has crept into our days. As a group, we able African Americans have half-stepped around our moral responsibility to care for "the least of these." We cannot minimize the external threats to Black advancement, but our greatest challenges are endemic. Ours is a spiritual crisis. Our spirit is fed by faith and nourished in community. But the social bonds that once tied us to one another are frayed. We have forgotten who we are and what we're supposed to be doing here; forgotten that "we are each other's keeper…each other's magnitude and bond," as the late, great Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks reminded us. Like our foreparents, who made possible the privileges we now take for granted, we must live for a purpose greater than the acquisition and accumulation of more stuff to stumble over, clutter our path and obstruct our vision. The terrain we traverse today is not even the rough side of the mountain; the rough side is behind us, cleared for us by those who came before us. We are uniquely positioned among people of African descent to make that final assault on the summit of our aspirations, if we will commit to doing what has become most difficult for us as a people: link arms and aims, make a plan and get along with one another to see it through.
We say that God is love. But love is a verb. It requires us to do something, to actively care for ourselves and serve one another from the overflow. In the image and likeness of that Love and caring that gives Itself away to the world, we can move strategically, creatively toward economic and social justice. No obstructions strewn in our path will deter or impede us when we stand for the high purpose and move forward—together. But we've got to move. We've got to push Black leaders to humble themselves, allow love, not ego, to lead. And if they won't lead, then they must follow and bring their constituents and congregants along. Our children cannot continue to die outside the temple doors while we "praise His holy name" within. We are all here on assignment. We honor God when caring for our vulnerable young. Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.
In January we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Just six years before that hard-won acknowledgment of our humanity on the long march toward freedom, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) that African Americans were "so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect." But Frederick Douglass, even in the face of the Dred Scott decision, envisioned an end to slavery just down the road. If during the most despicable time in this nation's history, a man who was born into slavery could lead abolitionists and a president to take a stand on the right side of history, let us not retreat from making the only moral choice before us in our time. We have everything we need: creativity, connectivity, education, resources, access, a history of triumph and a pantheon of way-showers. We can learn to work together better; choose healthier, life-sustaining behaviors; fill our hearts with love and gratitude and do this work that is ours to do. We can reclaim and secure the young lives we abandoned and rebuild the village. And we can do it well by mentoring.
Mentoring—a low-cost, high-returns solution—works miracles. In the tradition of our ancestors, whether we are rich or poor, formally educated or not, and though none of our lives is perfect, we can provide a protective shield for the children. Done well and consistently, mentoring changes even the most challenged young lives. But when the call goes out for mentors, White women and men are the first respondents. Black women and men too often are not in the mix, while the wait lists at youth-serving organizations continue to swell with Black children, the vast majority of them our beautiful boys, waiting….
The National CARES Mentoring Movement, founded as Essence CARES in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, is committed to changing this in the now time! Before we began our work, there was no national infrastructure in place to engage desperately needed Black men and women volunteers. Operating in nearly 60 U.S. cities under the leadership of devoted volunteer community leaders, CARES is determined to ensure that all Black children needing guidance and role models are surrounded by a circle of caring, supportive adults who are committed to volunteering just one hour a week of their time as mentors. Because our program evaluators have determined that the stress of competing pressures is a major factor distracting many African Americans and diverting our energies away from critically needed engagement in mentoring today, CARES is building single-gender Wellness Mentoring Circles –– safe spaces, where mentors share their challenges and triumphs, support one another, build community among themselves and learn to manage stress. When we are healthy and whole we're better equipped to support our children. This year, in more than a dozen cities, we are piloting programs with our partners that undergird our children academically, emotionally and socially.
To date, CARES has recruited more than 125,000 mentors for upwards of 135,000 children. But it's not enough. So I'm asking that you stand in the gap and volunteer an hour a week to help guide our young who need more caring adults in their lives. Our children losing ground need your congregation, your block association, your friends and family, they need our fraternities and sororities to take action. We need all hands on deck, and the best way to get others to step up is to get engaged ourselves and express the joy we feel and the healing that occurs when doing God's work.
Susan L. Taylor is the founder and CEO of National CARES Mentoring Movement. For 27 years she served as the chief editor of Essence magazine. Learn more about the programs of National CARES at www.caresmentoring.org.

Kofi Annan was a known fan of the arts; he honoured concerts, met with heavyweights in the entertainment industry and was particularly a keen fan of cartoons.
Annan has been hailed by people in the industry for his role – direct and indirect in championing the cause of using the arts to reach across to others.
He was an honorary president for the Cartooning for Peace project which he helped found in 2006. "The loss of Kofi Annan, Honorary president of Cartooning for Peace, arouses a deep sadness and also represents a big loss for freedom of speech.
"After an outstanding diplomatic career, the former United Nations Secretary-General, also Nobel Peace Prize, gathered press cartoonists from all around the world in 2006 at UN: he wanted to build a bridge between press cartoonists and the various cultures on the planet," Plantu, president of the group wrote in a tribute.
The group which has 183 editorial cartoonists from 64 different countries have since published 11 pieces in honour of their former honorary president. Their main aim is drawing for a better understanding and respect between people of different cultures and beliefs.
Several other cartoonists across Africa have also done works on the Kofi Annan effect. Over in Hollywood Forest Whitaker has paid respects along with the crew at Sesame street.
South African music icon Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Britain's Naomi Campbell have all paid glowing tribute to the global diplomat who died aged 80 in Switzerland.
We are all very saddened by the passing of Kofi Annan, Honorary President of Cartooning for Peace.

Why did Jacob consider the small vessels more important than even Rachel and Josef?
We know that in his confrontation with Esav a very materialistic man, Josef had set up plans of escape. There was no knowing what Esav would do.
The most important thing in the eyes of Jacob seems to have been protecting the "small vessels" there was even a fight with the angel of Esav over this. Why were these so important?
We all know Jacob was no idolator.. Although he had earned very little personally over the 20 years he had worked for his uncle, he had saved a "tith" which he intended to bring to Israel.
This tith was nothing materialistic, it was the fulfillment of his oath to Gd. This was the ultimate test of Jacob. There was no way he would not make good on his word.
This is what characterises Jacob the most. Indeed he passes on the lesson to Josef when he makes him swear to bury his bones in Israel. This oath has become Pakod Pakodeti and when it is fulfilled the world will become three groups. The House of Josef, the house of Israel and the house of Esav. Materialism will vanish like shaff.
What is happening at the un now?
What is really happening at the UN:
All current legal systems today are based on Roman law, you can call it the "law of the land" but it is not that, really it has become materialist to a degree that it is no longer even Noahid, it is pre-flood.
Once land belonged to the King. This was a rule established by Josef as a result of the 7 year famine in Egypt. What makes it "rain"?
The famine was preceded by wealth so humanity has learned to harvest storable goods and to squirl away for economic cycles. Thus the banking system and interest. Land rights also became a commodity. Rights to be enforced require the legal use of force, because force by itself gives the right (according to the Nazis). The tith would go to the bank which would then redistribute according to its own private best interest.
What if the assumption that a famine is preceded by wealth is not a law of nature but rather a biblical event recorded as historical. Gd is not Empirical. What makes it rain?
What is the Roman "law of the land"? It states that a writ enforced by the police makes real estate private property. Much like tribal hunting grounds for wolves. The strongest tribe rules. So the police are the wolves and they divide up the area of influence where civilians are the prey.
According to Mosaic Law land rights were established when the tribes entered Israel and can never be altered or sold. This meant that there was no need for Police as it was the priests that determined these issues, fear of Gd was enough. Either its Gd or its the dog.
Noahides no longer eat flesh off living beings, but that changed back with the Roman wolf. He is not responsible according to the legend, the babies were saved by the milk of wolves. Thus the tribe of Benjamin the wolf-like tribe took over and brought humanity back to pre-flood violence.
The good news is that Mordecai and Esther were from this tribe and the switched into the father and mother of The Jews. Jews are the tribe of Josef the priest, we have been altered by three dark days in Egypt, three days of celibacy on Sinai and three days of fasting for Esther.
Also good to know that Achachverosh and Esther fathered all 127 nations of Israel.
Materialistic Esav, and Amalek will dissapear like chaff. The UN will be United when the bring the bonesvof the second son of Rachel to the appropriate location.
As truth becomes more scarce it becomes more precious.
When something becomes scarce the value goes up. Each person is so unique that Rabbi Nachman says the whole world was only created for him/her (he + she?). Of course the uniqueness is scarce, the divine and infinite point. Unfortunately most people never find it in themselves.
On yet a higher dimension, there is something I term "common truth". This is even harder to find than individual truth. Gd cursed the earth which caused lazy men to enslave others. The flood reached everywhere except Jerusalem where freedom and the fear of Gd were still in fashion. The purification didn t last past the curse of Noach which rapidly threw mankind into the hands of killers, rapists and even warwolves.
The eyes only see lies. World of foolishness and no firm ground to stand on. Because Gd is merciful, you need to understand that this situation can only be a mistake. We need to repair the curse of Noach...and since without truth freedom can not exist, only real search for truth can reverse the curse.
One who is seeking the truth is no longer a slave. Slaves are absolutely worthless today.. Free men are so scarce that they have no price.
Like Rabbi Nachman said... Each man needs to understand the whole world was only created for him. Do really search the truth...if you aren t doing so you are no better than a zombie.

There's no word on what the former Secretary of State ate, as Gina Stefani is mum on the details, only writing that "it was great to see Secretary Clinton and her friends while she was in town (yesterday). My family has had the pleasure to serve both the Secretary and President over the years when they are in Chicago." That relationship dates back several years. Phil Stefani catered Clinton's 50th birthday party in 1998.

Hillary Clinton in Chicago, delivers keynote speech at American Library Association conference
Sarah Schulte
CHICAGO (WLS) —
Hillary Clinton delivered the keynote speech Tuesday morning in Chicago at the American Library Association's annual conference.
The Park Ridge native and best-selling author spoke about the importance of librarians, their jobs and the survival of libraries.
"I believe libraries and democracy go hand in hand," she said to loud cheers.
Clinton opened her remarks with humorous references to her presidential campaign, saying that books got her through good times and bad times. She made history by becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major political party. Prior to that, she was Secretary of State, a U.S. senator from New York and the first lady.
Clinton kept her remarks on topic and positive, trying not to rehash the 2016 election except to say that books and a couple other things helped her recover from the loss.
"Long walks in the woods and the occasional glass of chardonnay," she joked.
Hillary Clinton Says Libraries Are Essential In Fight To Defend 'Truth And Reason'
Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that the U.S. is in the midst of one of the most important battles in the country's history ― and librarians are on the "front lines."
The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee praised libraries for being essential to a free society and encouraged Americans to fight against President Donald Trump's "deeply disturbing" proposed cuts to their federal funding.
"The work you do is at the heart of an open, inclusive and diverse society," Clinton told a crowd at the American Library Association's conference in Chicago. "I believe libraries and democracy go hand-in-hand."

Susan Bordo on the "Perfect Storm" Metaphor for 2016

"Why Won't She Behave?": The Demand for Hillary Clinton to Apologize
"Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover" advises another "uppity" woman, Katy Perry, reading my book on the beach
During the past couple of months, Hillary Clinton has come "out of the woods" to deliver several speeches and give three fascinating interviews in which she said what everyone who has paid any attention to post-election revelations should know: her loss in 2016 was not due to any one factor, but an over-determined pile-on that few candidates could have weathered — and that she almost did overcome, even so.
There were the factors that would have hobbled any Democrat: gerrymandering, voter suppression, the deplorable — yes, deplorable — appeal of Donald Trump to white supremacist and rabid nationalist anger, and the mistaken belief among ordinary working people that the man who lived in a golden penthouse was somehow "on their side."
Important! The WaPo Report on Russian Interference
Posted in 2016 Election, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Russia, Uncategorized, tagged 2016 election, Barack Obama, CIA, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Russia, Vladimir Putin, Washington Post, White House on June 23, 2017| 2 Comments »
Here is the report everyone is talking about today. Rarely do I post an article before reading and fully digesting it myself, but this is different. Based on sources deep inside the Russian government, this report validates what we suspected knew all along: that Putin directed these initiatives and that the target, specifically, was Hillary Clinton. So, without having read more than a few paragraphs, I am posting it here to provide immediate circulation. It is long. It is important.
Obama's secret struggle to punish Russia for Putin's election assault
By Greg Miller, Ellen Nakashima and Adam Entous

Early last August, an envelope with extraordinary handling restrictions arrived at the White House. Sent by courier from the CIA, it carried "eyes only" instructions that its contents be shown to just four people: President Barack Obama and three senior aides.
The White House debated various options to punish Russia, but facing obstacles and potential risks, it ultimately failed to exact a heavy toll on the Kremlin for its election interference.
• Graphic: The main findings, highlighted
Inside was an intelligence bombshell, a report drawn from sourcing deep inside the Russian government that detailed Russian President Vladimir Putin's direct involvement in a cyber campaign to disrupt and discredit the U.S. presidential race.
But it went further. The intelligence captured Putin's specific instructions on the operation's audacious objectives — defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and help elect her opponent, Donald Trump.
It is also important that we thank the Washington Post team for their dogged pursuit of the truth. We have seen in the past as we see today that persistent investigative reporting is essential to keeping the government on task. The task is uncovering the truth.
Stupid Power: Deconstructing the State Department

Deputy Secretary Sullivan Leads U.S. Delegation at OAS General Assembly in Cancun
Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan delivers remarks at the 47th General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) in Cancun, Mexico, on June 20, 2017.
Today, Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan led the U.S. delegation at the 47th Regular Session of the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly in Cancun, Mexico.
In his remarks to 33 heads of delegation from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada, Deputy Secretary Sullivan outlined U.S. goals for engagement in the Americas for mutual security and shared prosperity, the principles and values we share with fellow OAS member states, and our support for collective OAS action when these principles and values are threatened, such as in Venezuela.
It is not the first time that Tillerson has taken a back seat, and we can wager it will not be the last. Hillary Clinton, when she was secretary of state, often emphasized the importance of face-to-face meetings. It is no secret that the Trump administration plans to pare down the state department and de-emphasize diplomacy in general, but this kind of abdication of presence comes as a shock nevertheless.
Multinational summits and assemblies are prime ground for networking among peers. For Tillerson to turn his back on 33 counterparts from our backyard smacks of lunkheaded isolationism on our part as a nation and betrays a dangerous consolidation of power and authority at the top.
Foreign ministers and secretaries of state knew, when they met with Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, that major concerns voiced to them would be passed on to the president. Depriving these officials of the opportunity to meet with Tillerson eliminates an important conduit.
Hillary Clinton's first appearance at an OAS GA coincided with a push on that body's part to readmit Cuba which Hillary opposed without strict conditions on human rights reform. She also, everywhere she went, made a point of meeting not only with officials but also with civic leaders and organizations.
You can read about some of her Latin American diplomacy here.
This was "smart power," as Hillary dubbed it. At summits and assemblies, the presence of the top official is key. Seems now we are reverting to a counter-productive foreign policy. All power is consolidated in the man at the top and excludes his official top diplomat. This is the Trump Doctrine: Stupid Power.

This blog turned nine years old this month. On Sunday, Salon re-published an interview with Hillary Clinton from 10 years ago. It has never been posted here before and makes for some very interesting reading!
10 years ago: Salon's Hillary Clinton interview
Walter Shapiro
Hillary Clinton was interviewed over the telephone by Salon [on June 14, 2007] before she flew to New Hampshire.
The first time I interviewed you was in the governor's mansion in Little Rock in 1992. So I was tempted to ask: Anything happen in your life since then?
Oh, I don't know. What's new with you?

Qumran is located on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, several kilometers south of Jericho. In 1947, in a cave just south of Qumran, Bedouins found the first Dead Sea scrolls. Following this discovery, Qumran was excavated by the Dominican Father R. de Vaux in the years 1951-56. A complex of buildings, extending over an area of 100 x 80 m. was uncovered, dating to the Second Temple period.
The view of Qumran as an Essene center is opposed by those who propose that the site was a villa, an inn or a fortress. These views are not supported by archeological evidence, and most scholars accept de Vaux's interpretation. Recently, an ostracon (a potsherd with writing) with several lines of Hebrew script, was found at Qumran. It is a contract in which a man named Honi bestows his possessions, including a building, an olive and a fig orchard, to a group called yahad (Hebrew, together). If this reading is correct, it provides evidence for identifying the sect that inhabited Qumran, and the name by which members of the group designated themselves. The term occurs in other manuscripts of the Essenes.
Settlement at Qumran was renewed at the end of the 2nd century BCE, probably during the reign of the Hasmonean King John Hyrcanus I, when the existing structure was restored and enlarged. Then, at the beginning of the 1st century BCE, during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus, renewed building determined the plan of the site until its destruction. An aqueduct was built from a cliff above Wadi Qumran several hundred meters east of the site. Winter floodwaters were collected behind a dam at the foot of the cliff and from there flowed in the aqueduct to Qumran and filled the numerous cisterns and mikva'ot (ritual baths) there. The supply of water was essential to a permanent settlement at Qumran, where summer temperatures in this desert region are extremely high.
The plan of Qumran is unique, not at all similar to other contemporary settlements, with its many large halls, undoubtedly serving public functions, and the relatively small number of living quarters. The main entrance to the settlement was in the north, at the foot of a watchtower. The walls of the buildings were made of stones gathered at the foot of the cliff and plastered with thick, white-gray plaster. The windows and doorposts were built of well-trimmed stones and the roofs, as was common in that period, were constructed of wooden beams, straw and plaster.
The main structure at Qumran had several rooms, some obviously two stories high, arranged around a central courtyard. In the northwestern corner was a square watchtower with particularly thick walls that rose above the rest of the settlement. The tower served as a lookout and warning post and protected the settlement against raids by desert tribes. A room with benches built along its walls served as a meeting-place for the members of the community and probably as a place for Torah (Bible) study. Additional building complexes, south and east of the main building contained long halls, rooms and ritual baths. One of the large halls was for meetings and served as a refectory. In a storage room and a kitchen next to it, neat piles of hundreds of pottery vessels and a large number of small food bowls were found. A workshop, in which pottery vessels for use of the community were produced, was discovered in the southeastern part of the site. The workshop included a basin for preparing the clay, a potters wheel made of stone and two round kilns for firing.
A large number of mikva'ot (ritual baths) was found throughout the site. Excavated into the marl soil, they were waterproofed with thick, gray hydraulic plaster. The broad staircase leading to the bottom was at times divided down the middle by a low (20 cm.-high) wall, which separated those descending for immersion from those leaving after purification. The ritual baths were fed by water from the aqueduct. Mikva'ot similar to those at Qumran were typical of public and private buildings in Jerusalem and elsewhere in the Second Temple period. The Mishnah (Masekhet Mikva'ot) notes the importance of immersion in water for spiritual purification and lists the requirements for such ritual baths. The mikva'ot at Qumran were built according to all these requirements. Unusual at Qumran is the large number of these installations and the size of some of them, relative to the settlement. The latter probably served the members of the community for communal immersion, a central part in their daily rituals.
The settlement at Qumran was subsequently abandoned, until the beginning of the 1st century CE, when members of the community returned and settled there once more. They restored the earlier structures and, with various additions and modifications, used them. In the main building was a long room, in which remains of benches, or low tables, made of mud and plastered on the outside, as well as small clay inkwells were found. According to the excavator, these finds indicate that the room was a scriptorium, where the settlement's scribes copied the holy writings and the laws governing the community.
Perhaps only a few dozen of the leaders of the community lived permanently at Qumran. Most of the members of the sect, probably totaling several thousand, lived in villages and cities. A large Essene community certainly lived in Jerusalem (according to Josephus, the name of the gate in the southern wall of Jerusalem, at Mt. Zion, was called the Essenes' Gate). For certain periods of time, members of the sect lived in the desert near Qumran and during holidays and community events, many more arrived and lived in tents, huts and the caves nearby. In a survey and excavations conducted recently in the caves on the marl slopes north of the site, pottery vessels were found, indicating the use of the caves as dwellings. Stone circles nearby also indicate a tent encampment.
The buildings at Qumran were blocked in the east by a wall of large stones. Beyond it, the marl terraces extend several hundred meters before ending in a cliff. On this marl surface was a large cemetery with over 1,000 graves in north-south oriented rows. A few were excavated, revealing the simplest of individual graves dug into the marl and covered with a pile of stones. Most of those buried weremales, though at the edge of the cemetery there were also graves of females and children.
The settlement at Qumran was destroyed during the Jewish War against Rome in 68 CE, and it was never resettled.
Scrolls and other objects from the Second Temple period were found in several caves near Qumran, both in natural caves in the hard limestone cliffs west of the site and in caves cut into the marl cliffs near Qumran. When the Roman army approached, the inhabitants of Qumran fled to the caves and hid their documents in them. The dry climate of the Dead Sea region presethese manuscripts, written on parchment, for 2000 years.
In Cave No. 4, in the marl cliff south of the site, the excavators found only 15,000 small fragments of an estimated 600 different manuscripts. Individuals in ancient times or modern Bedouin may have removed scrolls from this cave, leaving only scraps. This cave was used by the Essenes as a geniza, a place for keeping worn-out sacred writings.
In the 1950s and 1960s, many caves in the canyons of the Judean Desert along the Dead Sea were surveyed and excavated. The documents found there, and in the caves around Qumran, include copies of all of the books of the Bible (except for the Scroll of Esther). The most famous of these is the complete scroll of Isaiah, which was written sometime between the 2nd century BCE and the destruction of the site in 68 CE. This date was recently confirmed by a radiocarbon examination of a sample of the parchment of the scroll. The books of the Qumran library are regarded as the oldest existing copies of the books of the Bible. Writings of the Essene sect, whose spiritual center was located here in the 200 years preceding the destruction of Jerusalem and of the Temple, were also found in the caves near Qumran.


When new mothers give birth, they spend most of time with their children, especially infants and young children. New mothers will know that although the little guy is asleep most of the time at this stage, it's not a long and continuous sleep. The most of them are intermittent. This is called periodic sleep cycle. It means the baby has a special sleep cycle as short for two or three hours, long period for four or five hours. How do you know the baby with high intelligence? The situation after baby wake-up is important point to distinguish whether the baby is high intelligence or not.
Generally speaking, they will have two states. One is crying. Only when mothers come, they will stop crying after comfort the baby for a while. The another is a quiet waiting as at this stage, they will observe the surrounding environment quietly. In fact, children have their own way of thinking, which is the result of research by child scientists, they will subconsciously explore and identify a variety of things. So the sleep response of the latter indicates that the intelligence of the little guy will be higher.
If it is not for pathology or hunger, it is probably because parents are not safe enough and they are less adaptable to their surroundings, so mom does not have to rush to hug up the baby because they are likely to fall asleep again. If you embrace them at this time, they will probably have difficulty falling asleep. New mothers can try to speak with the little ones, or pat their upper breasts so that they can relax.
If the babies wake up calm, without crying or making noise, with small eyes and small hands waving, then mothers should not disturb them and let alone without hugging them because it is also a process of exploration from these babies. In the process their brains are also working, so this is a good time of the brain education, which can help babies improve their intelligence. Until the baby is tired or if they are impatient, hold them again then, the effect will be better.


They all look like dA OC's with those colors,though anyone have a idea it's RT gara or UC gara?Probably RT,but I always wanted to collect those since they are in CB.How did you get those in TW?
Angel Coin for Rouche and Elisa.
Star Coin for Aquila and Kuten.
Clan Coin for Winberrl and Nemlim.
But seriously, we won't be getting them this way. Not when TW's Angel Coin Gara could contain MBG and Dracken (3s).
Originally, they are the rewards of JP's "cards collecting campaign". Only first 100 players iirc who rolled certain moes will get cards. In EN, it became "rare robos collecting" which are a lot easier to breath. TW plainly change their hair colors and throw in shop/gara or whatever becuz of copyright issues I guess.
Been busy on Hearthstone TGT expansion also.
CB closing in the year 2016 confirmed.
Initium is the last gara in that campaign to collect, right?
Aren't these the same color variants as CBTW's?
I've seen the blond Melfi before, I think it was in kr's upgrade notes??? We did get the pink Elisa before, iirc she was some sort of extra, like the purple School Jikun Hu.
You're several days late, bruh.

Home Business Legal Vote Nov. 4 To Determine AG Holder's Resignation and Reconciliation
Vote Nov. 4 To Determine AG Holder's Resignation and Reconciliation
Steven M. Blumrosen
Mon October 13, 2014
The president has finally accepted Eric Holder's resignation, effective upon confirmation of the next Attorney General.
Nov. 5, the day after election night, the White House will have a better sense of the Senate and the House for the next two years.
AG Holder suggested he would like to establish an institution for reconciliation between law enforcement communities and minority communities.
This may be another Obama administration off-the-cuff remark that carries the kernel of a good idea.
Eric Holder testifies to congress
Eric Holder is the 82nd Attorney General. He has been AG longer than anyone else, other than three predecessors. He has had multiple opportunities to step on people's toes.
Furthermore, he is the first Black Attorney General. He could have kept his head down, been quiet and still made history. But, he has not shied away from matters of race. He has shared his experiences as a Black person, and as a Black Man. He empathized with alleged victims of racism. He ruffled feathers.
Born winter 1951 in New York City, Holder went to Columbia Law School and was appointed to the Federal bench by President Reagan. He has been a Federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia, Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton administration, and senior legal adviser to Senator Barack Obama's successful presidential campaign.
When he was appointed Attorney General in 2009, there was greater peace and harmony in Washington. The Republicans had not taken over the House of Representatives. Since 2010, divisiveness has ruled. AG Holder would probably confirm that he is partially responsible.
Darrell Issa (R-CA49), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, would agree. The Congressional representative brought proceedings that found the Attorney General failed to turn over certain documents, was in contempt, and imposed civil and criminal methods for remedying the contempt. This was the first time that a sitting Attorney General has been held in contempt by Congress.
In other words, Eric Holder has deep and personal understandings of what it means to sit with allies in the center of Foggy Bottom while opposition forces are circling and few people seem independent and willing enough to enter the swamp in-between.
Media personalities suggested Holder might succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Often, justices wait to resign until they are comfortable with the president and the Senate. Justice Ginsburg will know more about the Senate Nov. 5.
If Eric Holder opens an institution to heal the wounds of our division, and there is decathexis, the Senate would have an easier time consenting to his nomination to the Supreme Court.
Much will depend on what the Senate looks like Nov. 5.
Steven Blumrosen is an author, foreign correspondent, journalist, OpEd contributor, computer DIYer, photography enthusiast, president of a FL Democratic club, jack-attorney and orphan.
He is completing a book with his father about Edward Coles, who believed Tom Jefferson's battle-cry for equality and may have been the first plantation owner to free, rather than profit from, his slaves.

So in my last post I mentioned that we have a spot in our living room reserved for a wonderful print by Aaron Blaise and I wanted to write a quick post pointing you in his direction. Aaron is an incredibly talented artist who worked as an animator for Disney for over twenty years. It's not everyone that can say they have worked on The Lion King, Pocahontas, Mulan and Beauty and The Beast, to name just a few, now that's what you call an impressive resume! Oh and I forgot to mention he also directed Brother Bear and do you remember the wonderful John Lewis Christmas advert, The Bear and the Hare, from a couple of years ago? Well guess who did the animation!
It just never fails to make me feel all warm and festive, no matter how many times I've seen it before.
Aaron's work though isn't just limited to traditional drawing, painting and animation. He is also an amazing digital artist and produces some simply stunning pieces using Photoshop. I have personally picked up many tips and techniques from reading Aaron's blog and watching his videos, he also does a some great custom brush sets for Photoshop which are worth checking out.
So there you go, a quick Friday evening post, you can see more of Aaron Blaise's work over at his website The Art of Aaron Blaise and on his Youtube channel.


Srinagar: The Jammu-Srinagar highway remained closed for the sixth consecutive day on Monday, stranding hundreds of vehicles and creating a crisis of essential supplies in the Kashmir Valley.
Many stranded vehicles are carrying essential supplies for the landlocked valley. Due to the non-availability of essentials, a crisis situation has arisen there.
In addition to severe shortages of edibles like vegetables, poultry products, mutton, there is a shortage of petroleum products as well.


Are you a heinz person?
You are working really hard to meet an important deadline today. Now you have encountered a significant problem, but you don't know how to solve it and your boss is out of reach.
You send an e-mail to your boss with the issue and inform him that you need his help before you can deliver. You will continue tommorow when you have his answer.
Whilst it can be good to explore perspectives of others, it's not quite right for us. We act as owners and don't wait for others to tell us what to do. If you experience a problem, we expect you to solve it with speed and don't look for excuses why it can't be done. Just find a way. This means you have to crack on through assignments while potentially lacking any relevant experience. Some people find this quite demanding and stressful.
Pull out all the stops to come up with alternatives, even if they have never been tried before. You will run the risk to fail.
That's the approach that we like. We act as owners and you cannot wait for your boss or a colleague to solve your problems. Whilst you can explore multiple perspectives to see less obvious solutions with others, we want you to take full accountability for achieving your promises with great speed. While achieving your results we expect you to take calculated risks. You are allowed to make a mistake, but don't make a mistake twice. For some this is quite demanding and even stressful.
Remain working on the other parts as much as you can in the time available.
Whilst it is good you keep on going, this is not our preferred way. We have to conquer the challenges we face and take ownership to solve it. Don't postpone or look for excuses. Just find a way. This means you will face great responsibility for activities you have never encountered before. This can be quite demanding and stressful for some.
You are working for almost one year in your current job. Last year has been crazily busy; you have continuously been pushed outside of your comfort zone, worked long hours and experienced severe pressure at times. As you receive constructive feedback throughout the year, you never learned as much as before. This morning your manager indicated that they are happy with your performance and want to recognize your performance. He asks you if you feel ready for promotion to a more senior and even more dynamic role next quarter. How do you respond?
You decide to go for it and start to decline new tasks for your current role to clear the way for new ones.
We like people who go for it. However, everyone has to earn their title every day. So we don't accept people who sit back and cruise along. To be the best food company we need people who take full ownership, act with speed and continuously deliver results until the end. It requires you to continuously perform on top of your game and to invest a big part of your life to our company. This will be rewarded with lots of opportunities and a steady progression of your career.
Since you already feeling challenged, this seems to be the right role for you at the moment.
Whilst it can be good, it's not quite right for us. We need people who run towards the fire, look for new, tough opportunities to crack and are willing to take the risk to improve. This can be demanding and requires you to continuously perform on top of your game and to invest a big part of your life to our company. It will be rewarded with lots of learning opportunities and ways to progress your career in a fast manner.
You decide to go for it whilst realizing it is going to be (even more) demanding. Since you still have to deliver next quarter in your current role, you are not sure if and how you will manage.
Great; that's the approach we like. You will be rewarded if you demonstrate the right performance and attitude. That's great on one hand, since you will be able to progress your career in a fast manner. Far faster than within probably any other company you know. On the other hand, it requires you to continuously perform on top of your game and to invest a big part of your life to our company.
You face a big challenge. At the beginning of the year you received a stretching target, however you will never meet this goal simply by working harder. For the last two months you weren't able to hit your numbers and the realization of this target currently seems somewhat unrealistic. What do you do?
Raise the issue you have with your manager. Explain that the current target seems unrealistic given the circumstances and propose to adjust the targets to a more realistic forecast.
Although at times the circumstances might seem to work against you, we never look for excuses or blame others. We always look for ways we can make it happen, even if we have never done it before. It might be tough, but you know you can turn this around. Whatever it takes. Only those who take complete ownership and decisions that are good for the company help us to become the best. This can be truly demanding to some, in terms of work load and achievements.
You raise your head, reset and start making a plan again. You explore what other factors might need to change to help you succeed, although this is completely outside your own area of expertise and responsibility.
You drop some of your activities to fully focus on your personal short term targets. However, this may have consequences on the long run.
Whilst it is good you think of alternative approaches to reach your target, this isn't our preferred approach. We act as owners. Although this might be beneficial on the short term, we never do things that might harm our business on the mid- or long term. We take decisions that are good for the company. By setting the bar high for yourself and our business and taking accountability you can help by being the best food company. This can be truly demanding in terms of work load and achievements.
You find out that there is a small amount of an ingredient identified within a batch of one of our products on the market, which is not stated on the packaging label. Consumers allergic to this ingredient could get an allergic reaction if they eat this product. However, the risk that this might happen is 0.1%. What do you do?
Regardless of the push back of others, you immediately recall and destroy all products without considering the costs associated with it.
Great, we have an unwavering commitment to quality. This means that all of our products must meet the highest quality standards. We do not want to run the risk that consumers get an allergic reaction due to incomplete information on the label, regardless of the level of costs associated with it. It also requires you to step up to others who might think differently and display a great deal of resistance on the short term. For some this is truly uncomfortable.
You decide to leave the products in the store since the risk that anything might happen is almost zero.
At Kraft Heinz we want to provide our consumers with products of the highest quality. We do not want to take the risk that consumers get an allergic reaction due to incomplete information on the label, regardless of the level of costs associated with it. So we immediately recall and destroy all products. This can be difficult for people who consider this as waste or who want to have more time to think through different options. Besides it requires you to step up to others who think differently and display resistance on the short term. For some this is quite challenging.
You make a business case of the associated costs of recalling and destroying all products versus the risk and costs if something would happen and decide afterwards.
We have an unwavering commitment to quality. At Kraft Heinz we do not want to run the risk that consumers get an allergic reaction due to incomplete information on the label, regardless of the level of costs or risks associated with it. We act with speed, so we immediately recall and destroy all products. This can be difficult for people who want to have more time to think through different options. Besides it requires people to step up to others who think differently and display a great deal of resistance on the short term. This can be quite challenging for some.
You are a budget holder. You are required to continuously review your spend on this budget to make sure money will go to the parts of the organization that help thrive our business.
Therefore you have established a policy that allows only certain people to have a mobile phone of Kraft Heinz.
You know that not everyone will be happy with this decision since some of them have to give up their mobile phone.
How do you implement and communicate this new policy?
You communicate directly to all affected employees that the policy will take effect from now on for everyone, regardless of remaining contract time.
Great. We value speed and simplicity. So we make no exceptions on our policy and are open and honest in our communication. We act on what we say even when it is not easy to do so. For some this can be quite challenging and even stressful. Especially when you will be challenged by powerful persons and faced with resistance. We expect you to speak out and hold on to your views.
You communicate directly to all affected employees that the policy will take effect from now on. You make an exception for those people whose contract is still running, since it does not create additional costs and people can benefit a little longer.
We value speed and simplicity so we make no exceptions on our policies. We are crisp and clear to everyone in our workplace and act on what we say. Even when it is not easy to do so. You might be challenged by powerful persons and faced with resistance, but we expect you to speak out and hold on to your views. Some people find this quite challenging.
You communicate individually what the new policy is about and see if an exception can be made, e.g. because of remaining contract time or transfer to a new part of the organization.
Although it might be beneficial and practical to the individual, we make no exceptions on our policies. We value simplicity and speed and want to be direct and clear to everyone in our workplace. We act on what we say. You might be challenged by powerful persons and faced with resistance, but we expect you to speak out and hold on to your views. Some people find this quite challenging and even stressful.
It gets closer to the deadline of an important product launch and you notice that everyone's workload is increasing heavily. The people around you are finding the speed difficult. You have an idea which may advance the workflow which in turn will boost business success, and it won't take long to implement.
Shortly discuss your idea with stakeholders before implementing it.
Great, we like people who find new ways, keep it simple and act with speed. By asking 'what if' we can challenge ourselves and others to be the best we can be. However, whilst it's great to jump in and give things a go by acting with speed, it's equally important that we take accountability for the actions we take and the outcomes. Also when it fails. You are allowed to make mistakes, but we want you to do it better next time.
We like learning as much as we can about our consumers and how to exceed their expectations. However, we believe it's better to jump in and act with speed then wait too long which could minimise the potential gains. We like people who are Innovative, conquer challenges and then learn quickly from their mistakes – people who find a way if it doesn't happen first time round. We act with speed and some people can find this uncomfortable if they prefer taking a more measured approach towards change.
See what you can do to support those around you rather than take a risk on something which may not work.
It's great to help those around you, however we also like people who look for better ways of doing things and act with speed rather than not trying. By being Innovative we can continue to exceed our consumers expectations and come closer towards our goal to be the best food company in the world. Those with a fear of failure or taking risks when there isn't a certain outcome of a win may find our fast culture challenging.

Stroganoff is a classic dish. I don't think I have ever followed a recipe for it the way I was supposed to. Some things require recipes. Baking for example is science. You can't mess with chemistry and have it work out the same every time. Sauces are different. You can play with the seasonings, adjust the thickener or the cook time and it's all good. So, as usual my "recipe" is more of a set of guidelines to follow.
Cube a buffalo sirloin steak (8-10 oz.) and place the chunks in a non-reactive dish. Cover the steak chunks with plain yogurt (about a cup and a half, but enough to cover all the pieces) Allow the meat to tenderize for 4-6 hours.
Heat a cup of stock (I used homemade chicken, but beef would probably be better.) Add 8-10 dried morel mushrooms to the stock and allow to soak while meat tenderizes.
Sautee a small, diced onion and 2-3 cloves of minced garlic in hot oil.
Add sirloin to skillet (reserve yogurt) and sautee until browned. Add salt and pepper to taste and about a teaspoon of minced fresh rosemary.
Roughly chop morels and add them to the pan (reserve stock).
Turn heat to high and add stock reserved from mushrooms stirring continuously to avoid clumping.
Reduce heat and add reserved yogurt.
Add a cup of heavy cream and simmer until thickened. Add another half cup or so of yogurt to tang up the sauce.
Serve over hot egg noodles or homemade pasta. I served ours on homemade rosemary garlic pasta.
Adam loves pumpkin pie. I myself prefer apple, but I am a good wife so I baked pumpkin. I wanted this recipe to be Dark Days friendly, so even though I have canned pumpkin and canned sweetened condensed milk, I used pumpkin from the freezer and local cream instead.
Combine flour, salt and butter in mixer. Blend 'til crumbly. Add chilled vodka* 1 T. at a time until mixture comes together in a ball. Roll crust out on floured counter and place in pie plate.
Let pie rest for at least 2 hours before serving.
The pie baked up really nicely. It stayed light and wasn't too shallow for my deep pie pan. The slices kept their shape and everyone seems to like it. Bubba commented that it was too sweet so I think I will reduce the sugar next time but it is really delicious. And no, you can't taste the vodka in the crust.
* I used Stolichnaya Vodka. No, it isn't local. Yes, we have a local distillery. Someday I will try our local vodka, but I am loyal to Stoli.
I know we've eaten more local meals than this, but I've somehow managed to avoid documenting them. I guess I've been too busy working on my list.
This dinner is basically chicken noodle soup. Homemade stock with chicken from Olds Farm; homemade noodles; carrots from 9 Bean Rows; onions from my garden and thyme dug from the snow. However, I added two links of homemade andouille sausage and as I was serving the soup I added chopped rainbow chard to this (my) bowl. This is for two reasons.
1. Nobody but me will eat chard.
2. I have been working hard to finish #61 on my list; extra greens are helpful.
The soup was served with whole grain bread from Bay Bread Co.
I love soup in the winter. Based on the weather today, we have plentyof soup days ahead of us.
This year the posting guidlines for Dark Days are a little different. Last year I had to make and post about a dinner each week throughout the challenge. This year, to make it a little easier on the hostess (and her volunteer summarizers), the posts are only summarized twice a month. So, even though I have been cooking a meal each week, I haven't been good about posting weekly. This post, like my lst Dark Days post, contains multiple dinners.
First up, braised rabbit from Bunny Hop Ranch with pink mashed potatoes, rabbit gravy and 9 Bean Rows bread.
I usually get my rabbit from Olds Farm, but I was at Oleson's, a local gocer, and found this local rabbit in their meat case. Hopefully soon we'll have our own rabbit meat; our buck is just old enough to start breeding.
The preparation was simple. I seasoned the meat with salt, pepper and garlic, seared it on each side in a cast iron skillet, added a little water and threw it in the oven until it was finished. Add the remaining liquid in the pan to some roux (equal parts flour and butter cooked together until they are golden) and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until a gravy forms.
The potatoes really are pink! I don't know what variety they are, but they came from Nic Welty at 9 Bean Rows. Wash them, cut them into chunks and throw them into a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until tender, drain and mash skins and all with some Shetler's Dairy milk and butter.
Second on the docket, shepherd's pie.
Sautee some ground beef (I don't remember which vendor at the market I got it from this time) with an onion from my garden. Add some salt, pepper and garlic.
Meanwhile, boil a pot of Westmaas farms red-skinned potatoes. Mash the potatoes with milk and butter, season as you like.
Spread the cooked ground beef in a cast-iron skillet, casserole or dutch oven. Spread a layer of mashed potatoes on top of the beef. Cover the whole pan with shredded Raclette cheese from Blackstar Farms and bake until the cheese melts.
I hoped to start this Dark Days Challenge with a bang. It's more like a whimper. Finishing report cards spent much of my "extra" time last week so I barely had time to cook let alone write about my cooking. I also had to finish my Can Jam post early because of the holidays so that was a priority last week. This week I've been working on another article for Edible Grand Traverse and it's not coming along as smoothly as I'd hoped so I've been stuck on that all week. Plus, Bubba's School program was last night.
This post is due at midnight, so guess when it will be done? Probably 11:59.
All three of my dinners feature dauphinoise potatoes. Sounds fancy, no?
Not so fancy. Souped-up scalloped potatoes. Yummy though.
Go buy a new Kitchenaid mixer because you killed your old one.
Slice ten pounds of potatoes with the slicer attachment.
Shred a pound of Raclette with the shredder attachment.
Dump the potatoes in a large bowl and pour a quart of cream over them. Add salt until the cream is WAY TOO SALTY.
Grease several baking dishes and rub them with minced garlic.
Squeeze all the salty cream out of the potatoes as you layer them into the dish.
Alternately add sliced potatoes, crushed garlic, thyme and cheese.
Continue to layer ingredients until the pans are full.
Top each pan with more cheese.
Put one pan in the refrigerator.
Put two more pans in the freezer.
I reserved the super salty heavy cream to create both of my real dinners.
The first night I marinated a cornish hen from Olds Farm in salty cream and then roasted it in the oven and served it with the dauphinois from the refrigerator and 9 Bean Rows bread. Yum.
It looks like the bird is sitting directly on the burner but I promise, it is in a pan.
The second night I made "slop". It's a family favorite. Similar to Shepherd's Pie, slop can be made with whatever you have in the fridge. Sometimes I top meat with mashed potatoes and cheese. Other times I cover it with hash browns. My mom used to make "slop" and it's one of the things my dear hubby will actually eat. In the old days I used a can of cream of mushroom soup. Now I do it a little differently. I sautéed one of the onions from my garden and added two pounds of ground beef that I got from my friend Richard at the indoor market. I sprinkled local spelt flour over the meat, sautéed it for another minute and then dumped the rest of the salty cream into it to make a "gravy" of sorts. Then I pulled one of the pans of dauphinoise out of the freezer, thawed it and topped the ground beef with it. I put the whole thing into the oven and baked it until the potatoes were warmed through. It was yummy.
Last year was the first year that I participated in the (not so) Urban Hennery's Dark Days Challenge.
What is a Dark Days Challenge?
For the last four years, Laura at the (not so) Urban Hennery has been challenging her readers to join her in preparing and eating a SOLE (sustainable, organic, local, ethical) meal at least once a week during the most difficult time of the year; winter. She's trying to prove that eating well from your own watershed can be done year round.
Eating local foods that have been raised in a sustainable (and humane) manner is a lot easier than it sounds~ even in the winter. If you haven't canned or preserved produce from the summer, the challenge may be a little more difficult, but even without a larder full of canned goods, eating locally through the Dark Days of Winter is possible.
Find a Farmers' Market near you. You'd be surprised how many winter markets are popping up all over the country.
Can't find a market? Find a farmer. Many store produce through the winter even if they don't have a venue to sell it.
Local bakeries are easy to find and many communities have small dairies that sell at least milk if not yogurt and cheese.
Even without connections to local markets or the farming community, you'd be surprised what you can find at your grocery store. Check out the produce department. Instead of buying December asparagus from South America, choose a winter vegetable like squash. Many groceries are beginning to carry local produce when it is in season and announce that fact on signs and tags.
Even if you can't find everything you want from a local source you could try a recipe or two when you find a local product. If you need inspiration, check my Dark Days '09-'10 Page to find the archive of last years' recipes. This year's challenge runs from December 1, 2010 – April 15, 2011. Check back each week to see what's cookin'!
Maybe you really aren't in a position to play along; you can still follow the challenge and get some ideas. There's always next year!
Spring has officially been here for twelve days now, but the Dark Days Challenge didn't culminate until yesterday. It seems as if Michigan wanted to end the Dark Days Challenge with an exclamation point rather than a period. Seventy degrees and sunny the last day of March? This isn't spring, it's summer but I'm not complaining.
I wanted my Dark Days to go out with a bang too. The grill had its inaugural run Tuesday but it seemed fitting on such a lovely day to stay mostly out of the kitchen. This menu screams, "summer" and practically wrote itself: Buffalo, corn on the cob, redskin potatoes, tossed salad, grilled bread and strawberry shortcake with homemade ice cream.
The vinegar and oil weren't local, but everything else was.
The grilled bread is something I make almost every day all summer long. Dylan wanted me to make it Tuesday but it is a leavened bread and couldn't be made on short notice. The original recipe comes from "The Barbecue! Bible" but I modified it.
Combine yeast, 1 T. honey and 1/4 C. warm water in mixing bowl. Let stand ten minutes until foamy. Stir in the remaining honey, remaining water, the egg, milk and salt. Add 4 cups of flour and mix until dough is soft but not sticky. Knead in the mixer 4-5 minutes adding flour as necessary.
Use half the oil to grease a large bowl. Put dough in greased bowl, drizzle with remaining oil and cover with a damp cloth.
The dough ready to rise.
Let rise in a warm place until double. Punch down the dough and pinch off two-inch pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place on a floured sheet or plate. Recover with a damp towel and let rise until puffy: about 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill on high. Use a rolling-pin to roll each ball on a floured board. I oil and salt the rolled balls before placing them directly on the grill. Flip them when they start to bubble. They are done when browned on both sides.
The Grand Finale of my Dark Days Challenge.
Dessert was a true tribute to summer. Spelt shortcake with berries from the freezer and homemade vanilla ice cream with Shetler's milk and cream. Yum!
Spelt shortcake, local berries and homemade vanilla ice cream.
It was so yummy that I let the kids eat leftover shortcake and berries for breakfast today. Sans ice cream of course.
Well, the true "Dark Days" are officially over with the arrival of spring, but the other challenge participants and I are playing along for the rest of the month. This week I made one of my husband's favorites, a modified Shepherd's Pie.
I had loads of local onion leaves left from processing all the onions for the Can Jam challenge last week, so I started by chopping the scallion-y leaves into a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. I added a couple of cloves of crushed garlic from Providence Farms, a pound of ground beef from Olds' Farm, a little salt & pepper and sauteed the whole mixture until the meat was cooked through.
Meanwhile in a pot of boiling salted water, I cooked four or five redskin potatoes from Westmaas Farms. When the potatoes were cooked fully I mashed them, skins and all, with some homemade feta cheese.
Drain the extra fat from the cooked ground beef. Scoop the feta-mashed potatoes out of their pan and spread them onto the beef. To make the whole mess extra tasty, grate some Black Star Farms Raclette on top before baking. Everything is fully cooked so you only need to bake the pie long enough for it to become golden and delicious. Or, you can preassemble pies and bake them another day when you need a quick meal and don't have time to cook.
I love this dinner because it is simple, I almost always have all the ingredients I need for it in the house, and everyone in the family will eat some variation of it. Sometimes I add corn kernels or other veggies to the ground beef, but it is good without them.
To round out our meal I made a salad with local romaine lettuce, more onion greens and the yogurt-feta dressing I made last week but didn't eat because I was out of lettuce.
Last Saturday was "Shop Your Community Day" so while I was wandering around the Commons after my trip to the Farmers' Market, I popped in to Pleasanton Bread and picked up a loaf of their wood-fired brick oven whole wheat bread. It was delicious toasted with this simple meal.
A wintry meal for a spring day.
It seems like the closer we get to the end of the challenge, the more local food we eat around here. I guess that's the point, isn't it? To teach yourself a new way of eating by establishing better habits? Cooking habits, shopping habits, thinking habits. How many times do you have to do something a new way before you have unlearned the old way? I know that it's more than 18, but over the last eighteen weeks I've made more than just "Challenge" dinners that were local so I have to be getting close.
Cooking locally has become a habit for me. It takes longer than popping a red box of frozen lasagna or Salisbury steak out of the freezer and baking it. It takes way longer than running through the drive through of a burger joint. It isn't always easy to cook dinner with a local ingredients, especially when you've been working all day or the kids have soccer practice or ballet or whatever other thing your kids may have scheduled. It takes planning because you can't just run to the Farmers' Market at 6:00 Tuesday night when you realize you're out of veggies and pick up whatever you want. And I'll admit, we eat take out pizza sometimes, but not as much as we used to. I'll also confess to some not homemade frozen things in my freezer and "instant" things in the pantry but those are the exception around here, not the rule. As time goes on those things go into the cart less and less.
So, what did I come up with this week?
Dried morel mushrooms from last year's harvest.
After soaking in boiling water.
In a pan I made a spelt flour roux and then added three cloves of Providence Farms garlic, the mushroom rehydrating water, the mushrooms and a pint of Shetler's half and half. This makes a delicious morel cream sauce. I didn't add any other herbs because I didn't want to overpower the mushrooms, but I did add salt and pepper.
I boiled a half pound of locally made egg noodles to serve as a base for the morel cream sauce. I had talked myself into grilling the Olds' Farm Cornish hens in true spring fashion and then talked myself out of it in the sake of time and baked them instead.
When I started contemplating morels I started craving asparagus. However, asparagus hasn't been fooled by the false spring we're having so there isn't any unless you're willing to buy it from South America or Mexico. Maybe it's coming from a little closer now, but I don't care; I can wait until local asparagus arrives so that I can gorge myself on it until it disappears again. Instead I had to settle for the pound of locally grown spinach I found at Oryana.
The pasta in the center of the plate was the real entree!
As a treat, dinner was served with a loaf of potato-rosemary bread from Stonehouse bakery.
Oh, and remember when I said, "It takes planning because you can't just run to the Farmers' Market at 6:00 Tuesday night when you realize you're out of veggies and pick up whatever you want." I had planned to serve salad with this dinner. I even made my old standby garlic-feta-yogurt dressing before I realized I had already eaten the head of romaine lettuce that I thought was in the refrigerator. So, guess what? No salad. It didn't matter. There was too much food anyway; we ate this dinner twice this week.
