Sunsong ranch, multi harvest (no xrealm inv) - OwnedCore

Can you please explain this better, possible use some screenshots? I'm afraid this isn't very easy to understand.

1) Obtain Stubborn weeds or Vermin (In the soil, not the plants).
2) Without leaving the farm, join for a pet battle. (Does this need to be a win, or can we just surrender?)
3) I've yet to see any bugged weeds or vermin yet.

EDIT:

Confirming this does work and using better instructions.

1) Obtain Stubborn weeds or Vermin (In the soil, not the plants).
2) Without leaving the farm, join for a pet battle. (Surrender the battle).
3) After returning back to the farm you will now notice they are 1 more of every weed or vine you see.


For example, the weed in the middle I dug out to check if there were more and there was.
4) When you're ready, get rid of all the vines/vermin and do your normal farming. When returning back you will harvest more produce than before.
For example: If you 1 vine and 15 other empty plots, repeat the pet battle twice, you will get normal produce x 3.

What Will Happen Should Senate Bill S. 744 Become Law?

SAN FRANCISCO, CA ? 23APRIL06 ? Fifteen thousand people rally and march in San Francisco, demanding legalization and equality for undocumented immigrants, and protesting bills in the US Congress which would criminalize immigrant status and establish huge guest worker programs for large corporations.

The Dignity Campaign?s Response?To The Immigration Reform Bill

As organizations participating in the Dignity Campaign for Immigration Reform Based on Human and Labor Rights, we are very concerned about the harsh impact the Senate?s immigration reform bill will have on immigrants.? Rather than ?bring immigrants out of the shadows? this bill will hold millions in an underclass, vulnerable to exploitation and relegated to the ranks of the working poor, with no access to basic services.? Millions will have no hope of receiving permanent legal status, let alone citizenship.

We believe this bill will affect our communities for decades to come, in the same way we continue to feel the negative effects of the Immigration Reform and Control Act, passed in 1986.? It is important to look at what our world will be like if the Senate?s version of immigration reform passes, to expose the negative impacts the bill will have, and especially prepare to defend our communities.

We want legal immigration status for people living in the U.S. who don?t have it, and believe this desire unites millions in this country.? Diverse groups with many different experiences are all fighting today for the civil, labor and human rights of immigrants, and of all working people.? This fight didn?t start with this bill ? it?s been going on for generations.? It won?t end with it either.

This bill, however, does not reflect the aspirations of a majority of the US population to provide permanent resident status to the undocumented.? It is instead the product of corporate America, which wants to hold down the cost of labor, especially in high tech, the hotel and restaurant industry, construction, and the food growing and processing industry. Massive enforcement creates money-making opportunities through continued detention and the construction of?more border walls, which we already?know will not stop the flow of migration.

1. ? The bill?s legalization program is designed to delay permanent legal status, and exclude huge numbers of people.

There are far more restrictions on the legalization program in this bill then there were in 1986, although that was a limited bill also.? Instead of an inclusive program that quickly gives legal status to 11 million people, it sets up a series of difficult hurdles, especially for low-income people.

Wealthy people can essentially buy visas, and the bill codifies and expands their ability to do that permanently, under one of the amendments.? It gives preference to those with money who can pay to study in universities and those who want to invest here.? It requires, however, people to make 1.25 times the poverty level to remain eligible once they?ve applied for provisional resident status.? Millions of undocumented workers make wages close to the legal minimum.? Working full time, the federal minimum is $15,080 per year.? Millions of people can?t even get that much work.

A single person would have to make $14,362 to keep their provisional status, so even losing a few weeks a year could make them ineligible, or force them to work excessive hours to maintain this salary.? Getting fired would be disastrous, which makes joining unions or advocating for rights extremely risky.? And of course, millions of single parents supporting children clearly wouldn?t qualify, since a family of four would have to keep an income of $29,437 to maintain status.? That?s more than two fulltime minimum wage jobs.

A person in provisional status must maintain that required income for 10 years before he could apply for a green card.? Most minimum wage or low-income jobs have no security for anywhere near that long.? In the meantime, provisional status holders would have to pay a total of $2000 by the end of that time, per family member or in some cases per family.? People would have to enroll in English classes to show they are trying to learn the language (a clear violation of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848, which guaranteed Spanish-language rights.)? Too many arrests for even minor crimes would disqualify applicants.? In most poor communities of color, young people are targeted for anti-gang enforcement measures, and many build up records that would make them ineligible.

Many will not qualify for legalization and many with RPI status and W visas, for instance, are at risk of losing status at any point.? The net result of these exclusions is that the number of people who will be able to reach the 10-year goal posts for permanent legal status is not 11 million, but more likely half of that, according to many legal sources.

What will happen to the millions of people in our communities who will not qualify, or who become disqualified along the way?? Because of the bill?s increased enforcement measures, their situation will be worse than it is today.? It would criminalize job search for those who have no status and force immigrants back ?into the shadows?.? Our community must think about how it will defend them ? politically, economically, legally and socially.

Some immigrant communities and unions and leaders, especially in the Democratic Party, believe that despite the bill?s drawbacks millions of people will eventually gain U.S. citizenship.? They project that they will become voters who might change the political direction in important cities and states.? In Los Angeles, the legalization of 1986 eventually led to the city?s changed voting population, and a much more progressive city government.? In California the state itself is benefiting from this demographic shift.? Increasing the votes of immigrants could change the politics of Mississippi, North Carolina and other states now firmly controlled by the political right.

This is an important political goal because immigrants deserve political rights, like all other working people.? And when they get those rights, other working people benefit directly as well.

The current bill, however, is not a sure path to that goal.? A lot can happen over the next 10 years.? A reactionary administration or hostile Congress could change the way legalization is administered ? even repeal it ? before immigrants reach permanent legal status.? In immigrant families, where documented and undocumented people live together, the bill?s devastating impact will affect everyone.

There is no doubt that our communities need legalization, and are willing to pay a price to get it.? So the question immigrant communities need to ask ourselves is ? how high a price are we willing to pay?? Should we support a trade-off of some legalization for the codification of all the enforcement programs that we have fought against over the last 25 years? Or, should we build the movement we need to win legalization without sacrificing the rights of immigrants, and lining the pockets of the enforcement industrial complex?

?2. The bill will continue the criminalization of immigrants.

The U.S. already spends more money on immigration enforcement than all other Federal enforcement programs combined.? S.744 authorizes spending at least another $5.5 billion on enforcement at the border alone, at a time when our communities lack investments in schools and healthcare.? It relies on increased enforcement to shunt ?migrants into labor supply programs, which are designed?to keep the cost of labor down and ensure? low wages.

This bill will not end the enforcement programs that have led to the massive wave of deportations over the last decade, especially Secure Communities and 287g.? It continues to criminalize the lack of legal immigration status.? This will have a devastating impact on those who can?t qualify for legalization, and those who come without papers in the future.

At worksites throughout the country, tens of thousands of workers have been fired every year for the past decade?for not having legal immigration status.? This is the result of the last reform ? employer sanctions ? part of IRCA in 1986.? Under pressure from labor and immigrant rights groups, the bill now has provisions that would bar employers from using the lack of immigration status to punish workers for organizing unions or enforcing labor standards.? This is an important improvement.

But the reality is that the vast majority of workers who have been fired in recent years for lacking legal status were fired at the demand of federal authorities, not as a result of retaliation.? The bill not only allows these firings to continue, but would make them much more widespread by making it mandatory for all employers to check workers? status using the E-Verify database.? An added amendment calls for weekly reports of those applying for jobs whose legal status is ?not confirmed,? targeting even those looking for jobs.

In 1986, many of our current immigrant rights coalitions began?the effort to defend workers from the implementation of employer sanctions, the provision that said employers can?t hire people without papers.? In effect, this criminalized work for the undocumented, and led to workplace raids, I-9 audits and firings, and the creation of the E-Verify database.

Because the bill ignores the root causes of migration, all new undocumented workers coming in the future (plus those who fall out of the legalization process)?will become even more vulnerable.? It will become mandatory for all employers to use the E-Verify database, both to screen new hires and their existing workers.? Workers without papers will lose their jobs, and find it much harder to find new ones, and their families and communities will suffer because of it.? But very few will leave the country.? As we say, Aqui Estamos y No Nos Vamos, y Si Nos Echan, Nos Regresamos.

On the border, the bill will triple the money now spent on the Operation Streamline court in Tucson, where young migrants are brought in chains, and then sentenced to federal prison for crossing the border without papers more than once.? S. 744 will deploy drones and military-style enforcement including more border patrol agents and the National Guard.? Despite promises of a greater commitment to civil rights in border communities (now defined broadly as 100-miles north of the actual line) this militarization will inevitably undermine rights and create greater fear. Private corporations will run even more detention centers for immigrants ? another industry that will clearly benefit from the bill.

If it were true that migration is slowing drastically, and that future migrants will only be coming as guest workers, there would be no need for this ferocious enforcement.? But in fact, the bill is assuming that people will continue to come without papers.? The real impact is already plain in the desert, where hundreds die every year trying to cross.? These deaths will continue as a result of this bill?s provisions.

?3.? Migration will continue on a large scale, if we continue to ignore the root causes for displacement.

Over two hundred million people worldwide now live outside the countries where they were born.? Corporate trade agreements and structural adjustment programs produce poverty and global inequality, displacing communities in developing countries.? During the NAFTA years, from 1994 to the present, the number of Mexicans alone living in the U.S. grew from 4.6 million to 13 million ? 11% of Mexico?s population.? The percentage of Central Americans migrating is even greater.

Increasingly, in Mexico, the Philippines and other countries of origin, social movements are challenging forced migration, calling for political change and economic development that would make migration voluntary.? They advocate for the right to not migrate ? for a decent future with jobs, healthcare and education.?? The Senate bill, however, does not recognize the roots of migration, or call for renegotiating treaties like NAFTA that produce displacement.

This movement of people won?t stop.? The basic conditions that force people to leave home haven?t changed.? In fact, the bill assumes that it will continue, and proposes a series of guest worker visa programs and extreme enforcement measures to deal with continued migration.

The bill continues to link labor supply programs and enforcement, and is codifying into law what has become the hallmark of U.S. immigration policy over the past decade:?temporary workers.? Each year over the last several years, the U.S. has deported 400,000 people, while allowing corporations to recruit at least 250,000 in formal guest worker programs (H1B, H2A and H2B) and hundreds of thousands on other work visas.? This is moving back towards the bracero era, where in the mid-1950s the U.S. deported a million people annually, while allowing growers to recruit over 400,000.

In 1964 and 1965 the bracero program was abolished and replaced with a family-based system ? an achievement of our civil rights movement.? In 1986 IRCA began to move us backwards, reinstituting guest worker programs and criminalizing border crossing and work for the undocumented.

S. 744 accelerates that movement backwards.? It restricts family-based immigration by ending brother and sister preferences, and restricting petitions for adult children.? It?s employer bias is clear in establishing a point system in which employability (corporate needs) will have much greater weight in future migration than family relationships.

After starving the family preference system for visas to the point where reunification sometimes takes decades, S.744 proposes to clear the backlogs as a prelude to expanding a corporate labor supply system.? But S.744 won?t make the family visa system function better.? It will be much harder a decade from now for immigrants living in the U.S. to reunite their families, especially for low wage workers and farm workers.? And after the Democratic Senators? surrender in the Judiciary Committee, LGBT families will continue to be excluded from the family petition and reunification process.

4.? The bill will vastly expand guest worker programs, and force most migrants to come to the U.S. through them.?

Guest worker programs all allow employers to recruit workers in other countries, and then give them visas that require them to work in order to stay.? They have a history of abuse that goes back to the original bracero program, and programs that preceded it.

Henry Anderson, the only U.S. academic who interviewed braceros while the program was going on, made a study in 1956 that the University of California halted under grower pressure.? One bracero told him, ?We come here like animales rentados [rented animals], not like men.?? Anderson saw that, like today?s migrants motivated by the need to survive, ?All but a few were coerced workers, driven by a force more powerful than a physical lash ? their hunger and that of their families.?? He points out that contract labor programs today suffer the same inequality of power:? ?There will be major abuses in any contract labor system if all the power is on one side?It will happen if a ?guest worker? program is enacted, no matter what honeyed phrases may be coined.? It is in the nature of the beast.?

Defenders of the Senate?s expanded programs claim that, while some of the most abusive present programs, like H2B, will expand, protections have been negotiated for new ones.? They point to the ability of workers to move from one registered employer and job to another, to sue their employers in court, and (for some) eventually apply for permanent residence visas.? These will not, however, change the imbalance of power in these programs, especially since the punishment for being unemployed beyond a few weeks is still deportation.? That alone gives employers near total power over these workers, which is why they want the programs. Anderson?s study revealed that measures set up to protect workers from abuse during the bracero era were never implemented.

The cost of guest worker programs is borne by both?immigrant and resident workers.? Immigrants become deportable if they lose their jobs and can?t quickly find others, making the risk of joining unions or enforcing labor standards very high.? If resident workers try to demand living wages that can support families, employers can declare a labor shortage and demand more guest workers at lower wages.? This creates an effective ceiling on wages at the bottom of the U.S. wage scale.? This bill increases competition among low wage workers at a time when wages are barely livable, and? among high-skilled workers as well, negatively affecting local economies everywhere. At the same time, many Mexican activists say the recruitment is saddling them with a corrupt system protected by political patronage, and?forcing people into debt.

By the end of a decade, the number of workers brought by corporations on work visas could easily reach a half million per year.? This will hold down wages in all industries where employers use the programs, and hurt local economies.

Over the years, many immigrant and labor rights activists have called for expanding the number of permanent resident visas instead, since green card holders have greater rights.? Under S.744, some guest workers can apply for green cards, but only after they work years of servitude. ?Instead, it would be better to give green cards to migrating workers at the beginning of their time in the US, which would give them greater rights and equality in our communities, and make it easier for them to organize to raise low wages and join unions.

If the interest of employers were not in holding workers captive to low wages, they would have no problem competing for workers, whether citizen or immigrant, in an open labor market.? The bill, however, clearly represents employer interests against those of workers.? It is no coincidence that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, various Silicon Valley mega rich corporations, the Associated Building Contractors, growers and other major business groups have spent millions lobbying for the Senate bill.

5.? S. 744 will expand the surveillance industrial complex.

Using public safety and security as a justification, the proposed bill further strengthens and legitimizes the national security state, mixing current and new technologies, enhancing operational capacities, and adding thousands of new customs and border patrol agents.? Its coded language of ?border security? and ?criminal alien,? rationalizes the investment of public funds in surveillance equipment, data collection and data mining, enhanced communications ability and information sharing between federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies.

The Secure Communities program set up the bill?s provisions for expanding the E-Verify system: ?every non-citizen will be required to show their biometric work authorization card, or their biometric green card. These photographs will be stored in the E-Verify system.? Those photographs will be linked to existing databases?, creating the template for a future biometric national ID card.

The 2013 bill will lead to the creation of one of the largest databases, by combining several existing ones, including people who have committed a crime, DNA records, and absconders, with seemingly benign sources, such as DMV and SSA.? It will include behavioral profiles created by ?suspicious activity? reporting programs and the national counter terrorism center.? This database will then be accessible to federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, public benefit agencies, and even private contractors and foreign partners in the ?war on terror.?? Gathering, storing, sharing and disseminating information all become necessary tools for social control.

Drones have been in use for some time to patrol land borders and shorelines, which has become a precedent to normalize their use as an ?essential? tool in law enforcement. The bill will expand this use.? Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration is required to allow free use of airspace by drones by 2015.

6. We have more power if we get radical.

It is clear that the bill is not going to be amended in the Senate in any way that changes its basic structure or impact.? In the House of Representatives the domination of Republicans will force Democrats to make even more concessions to get the votes for passage.? So the bill will continue to move to the right, not to the left.

In this political calculus, the bill?s sponsors are clearly not afraid of losing progressive or community support.? They only fear the Republicans and employers ? the pressure from the right.? As a result, the President recently made it clear once again that the only thing we can achieve is what a Republican Congress will vote for, or what employers are willing to accept.? In Washington DC there is no strategy beyond a vote on this bill, and especially no strategy for what we will have to do afterwards.

In this context, it is important not to get boxed in politically.? Part of advocating for our communities is deciding what we are for, and refusing to accept what those who control the process in Congress have?put on the table.? We have to know where we?re going.? This is about more than just a bill, or one political fight this year.? We?ve been fighting for rights and equality for many years, and this fight is going to continue for a long time to come.

So what is our goal?? What does justice look like?? During the civil rights movement in the south, activists and community members said the fight wasn?t just about the right to sit at the lunch counter, but to get the money to buy a meal, and then to register to vote to win political power in the community.? We have to think like they did.? We have more leverage if we fight for more radical goals, not less.? Right now the Gang of Eight isn?t afraid of us, or trying to win us over.? The right has all the power here, and the bill will move to the right as a result.

The dreamers taught us all, however, that what seems impossible today can become possible tomorrow if we organize and fight for what we want.? They also showed that it was possible to force the administration to change the way it enforces existing law.? First they defended undocumented youth who came out publicly, then got a Dream Act bill introduced, and finally made the administration grant deferred action administratively.

Today the administration is continuing the deportations at 400,000 a year, despite a bill that (they say) would give most undocumented legal status.? ICE forces employers to fire thousands of workers from their jobs to show it?s ?tough? on enforcement.? Even if all those workers did get status, they will never get their jobs back.? Instead of holding union jobs paying well above the requirement for legalization, they?ll be forced into the underground economy where legalization will become out of reach.

Instead of a strategy focused exclusively on Washington DC, we need one that takes action on the ground, where we live.? This includes action against deportations, and an end to the firings.?Immigrant workers and their families should not be used as political cannon fodder to pass the Senators? bill.? Action on the ground can dramatize our need for the reforms we really want.

?7.? What are people proposing that are elements of what we want?

We need to continue to hold the discussions in our organizations and communities that develop our own program for justice.? Many organizations have been doing this over the past year.? Instead of stopping because a bill is in Congress, we should pay attention to what people say they want.

The Binational Front of Indigenous Organizations (FIOB) says, we need to get rid of trade agreements that displace communities in Mexico.

Workers fired at San Diego Hilton and the community hunger strikers who supported them say we need to get rid of the firings and criminalization of work.

Community2Community and the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance say get rid of guest worker programs, and give people green cards instead.

The Coalicion de Derechos Humanos says tear down the border wall and end the Operation Streamline court.

People of Faith demonstrating in front of the detention centers in Richmond, California,? Tacoma, Washington, and across the country say get rid of these privately run prisons.

Filipino Advocates for Justice and the Asian Law Caucus say get rid of the 22-year backlogs keeping people from reuniting their families in the U.S., and expand family migration instead of ending preferences for family members.

Unions like UFCW, LIUNA, ILWU, UNITE HERE and SEIU say make it a crime when employers use immigration status to deny workers labor rights.

And across this country, millions of people say we want a legalization program that includes all 11 million people and that doesn?t make people wait more than a couple of years to get it.

In 1965 voting rights for African Americans and Chicanos looked like a dream a century away.? The fields were filled with 500,000 braceros, while a million other immigrants were deported.? Yet ten years later we had the Voting Rights Act, the bracero program was ended, and family reunification had started; workers went on strike in Coachella and Delano, and the United Farm Workers was born.? This didn?t happen by accepting Congress? view of the world.? It happened by forcing them to view the word through our eyes.

We can have an immigration policy based on human rights, but we have to have a social movement with radical goals in order to fight for it.? And if they tell us ?no se puede,? that we can?t get there, our answer is ?si se puede,? yes, we can.

US boss held in China leaves plant after payout

BEIJING (AP) ? A pay dispute was resolved Thursday at a medical supply factory, ending a labor standoff in which the Chinese workers detained their American boss for nearly a week inside the plant until they reached agreement on a compensation package.

Chip Starnes, a co-owner of Florida-based Specialty Medical Supplies, told The Associated Press he had been forced to give in to what he called unjustified demands while he was held by about 80 workers inside the factory, an experience he described as "humiliating, embarrassing."

The workers began blocking all exits from the plant in Huairou district on the outskirts of Beijing on June 21 after seeing equipment being packed for shipment to India and thinking the entire factory was being shut down. They said the company owed them unpaid salary.

At the start of the standoff, the workers deprived Starnes of sleep by shining bright lights and banging on windows of his office, he said.

Police had made no moves to end the standoff but guarded the plant and said they were guaranteeing Starnes' safety while a labor official was brought in to broker negotiations.

It's not rare in China for managers to be held by workers demanding back pay or other benefits, often from their Chinese owners. Police are reluctant to intervene, as they consider it a business dispute, and local officials typically are eager to see the matter resolved in a way least likely to fuel unrest.

Starnes, who had spoken to reporters in recent days through the barred window of his factory office, said the workers' demands were unjustified. Neither he nor district labor official Chu Lixiang gave details of the compensation deal.

Chu said all the workers would be terminated, although Starnes said some would be rehired later.

"It has been resolved to each side's satisfaction," Chu told reporters at the plant. She said they had been sorting out paperwork until 5 a.m. and that 97 workers had signed settlement agreements.

Starnes had quietly departed the factory grounds by the time Chu spoke. He wrote in a text message: "Yes!! Out and back at hotel. Showered. 9 pounds lost during the ordeal!!!!!!"

He told the AP he was "saddened" by the experience.

He has said the company had been winding down its plastics division, with plans to move it to Mumbai, India. When he arrived in Beijing last week to lay off the last 30 people, workers in other divisions started demanding similar severance packages.

The deal reached Thursday would also pay those workers, even though the company said they weren't being laid off.

"We have transferred our funds from the U.S.," he said. "I am basically free to go when the funds hit the account here of the company."

Starnes said he planned to get back to business, and even rehire some of the workers who had been holding him.

The labor action reflected growing uneasiness among workers about their jobs amid China's slowing economic growth and the sense that growing labor costs make the country less attractive for some foreign-owned factories.

Verizon 4G LTE reaches 500th market, initial network build-out now complete

Verizon was the first US carrier to launch (and famously fumble) its LTE rollout back in 2010, but its long road to 4G nationwide coverage has finally come to a near close. As of today, the operator's LTE footprint now blankets more than 298 million people in 500 markets across the US, with Parkersburg, West Virginia claiming that 500th market distinction. It's a milestone Verizon managed to achieve in a little over two years' time, as the company's Chief Network Officer Nicola Palmer was quick to point out. The completion of this initial LTE rollout also brings Alaska into Verizon's coverage map as early as next month -- a territory that, before today, didn't even have 3G -- marking the carrier's network as available in all 50 states.

With a full LTE expansion, however, comes network congestion problems, as subscribers in major cities like New York are already starting to experience. Palmer assured us that solutions are currently underway to shore up capacity in these LTE markets. Verizon's AWS holdings, in particular, should serve to augment LTE reception in select areas starting in the second half of this year. The same goes for small cell site deployment, which Palmer stressed is an LTE-only initiative. News on the carrier's plans for LTE-Advanced remain just as vague as ever, with Palmer positioning the standard as yet another tool to enhance current LTE capacity. Unfortunately, she wouldn't commit to a timeframe for LTE-A nor address concerns about the potential for new pricing tiers when it does eventually launch. Still, Verizon subs will at least have VoLTE (voice over LTE) to look forward to next year -- that is, when it eventually clears the company's rigorous lab and field testing.

NYC Dads and Stay At Home Dads Group: Babies and Baseball

Editor?s Note: In celebration of our group?s budding relationship with the New York Mets, we?d like to present this piece by NYC Dads Group member Jason Duncan about taking his baby (ahem, toddler) to Citi Field. KMcK.

A fellow stay-at-home dad/native of Cincinnati and I recently took our little girls into what we thought would be hostile territory to a watch a Reds/Mets game at New York?s Citi Field. It probably didn?t help our cause much with my wearing a Yankees cap.

However, everybody was very polite and nobody said anything. At least not to our faces.

Given that it was around naptime for the Little One when we got off the subway in Queens, I tried to stroller her into a nap. After 10 minutes, I succeeded. Since we could use the strollers in Citi Field (as opposed to having to check them at guest relations like you do at Yankee Stadium), my friend and I decided to push her right inside.

I pulled my diaper bag out of the bottom of the stroller in advance of the gate and unzipped it so the security personnel could inspect the innards to ensure that I wasn?t toting in C4 with my Burt?s Bees Diaper Ointment. With half a glance at the bag, the security guy then asked me to take my baby out of the stroller, please.

A sleeping baby (ahem, toddler).

Now, as everybody knows, you are asking for a huge world of hurt if you rouse a sleeping child. But what was I to do? My friend was already inside and to turn around at the security checkpoint to hang out in the parking lot until she woke up 35 minutes later likely would have only brought suspicion down on my head, which might have resulted in my not being allowed into the game at all, and then I would have come to Queens for no reason, and if you ever have to go to Queens, you really ought to have a reason for doing it.

So I pulled her out. She immediately woke up. Satisfied that there wasn?t a grenade strapped to the ass of my baby (ahem, toddler), the guard waved us through.

This is going to be a disaster, I thought. She was groggy, blurry eyed and cranky. She immediately started with her patented ?Go! Go!? that she uses when she doesn?t want to be someplace, and I knew I?d made a terrible mistake. I hated that security guard.

We settled into our seats, which were excellent, by the way: three rows back from the left field wall? where home run balls are a real concern when you?ve got a baby ? toddler ? on your lap. The seats, which had they been in Yankee Stadium would have gone for something like $350, cost only $19 on StubHub. Little One kept up with her ?Go! Go!? but then they started to turn into ?Yay! Yay!? and clapped her hands with everybody else.

She actually stayed in her seat and let me put on her hat (pink, Yankees ? sorry) and she let me put on her sunglasses (pink), apply sun block,and change her out of her pants and into her (pink) shorts when it got hot. She even tracked the home run ball that Cincinnati?s Joey Votto hit into the seats about fifteen feet from us (in the ESPN SportsCenter highlight of Votto?s blast later that night, she?s appeared as the light pink blur that doesn?t move while everybody else around her stands up and leans left).

She also learned from dear old dad that you never throw the ball back, you never toss the ball back on the field, no matter how many home fans around you are clamoring for you to do so because?

1. You might hit and injure a player who isn?t expecting a baseball to come from behind him, and
2. This will very likely never happen to you ever again.

You always keep the ball. No matter what. (The bozo kid who caught the ball in the next section over tossed it back, much to the delight of the 30,000 Mets fans on hand.)

She was great. In fact, both babies (toddlers, dammit!) were great. Much better than ever could have been hoped for. They even let us stay through the entire game (Reds won 7-4). Who could ask for more than that? A perfect game on a perfect day with the perfect effing offspring? Who could want more than that?

(Well, if Joey Votto had smacked that ball about fourteen or fifteen feet farther to the left and about three rows up, that would?ve been alright, too.)

Where Is Edward Snowden? Ecuador Foreign Minister Says He Doesn't Know

MOSCOW ? Russia's foreign minister bluntly rejected U.S. demands to extradite National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, saying Tuesday that Snowden hasn't crossed the Russian border.

Sergey Lavrov insisted that Russia has nothing to do with Snowden or his travel plans. Lavrov wouldn't say where Snowden is, but he lashed out angrily at Washington for demanding his extradition and warning of negative consequences if Moscow fails to comply. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday urged Moscow to "do the right thing" and turn over Snowden.

"We consider the attempts to accuse Russia of violation of U.S. laws and even some sort of conspiracy, which on top of all that are accompanied by threats, as absolutely ungrounded and unacceptable," Lavrov said. "There are no legal grounds for such conduct of U.S. officials."

The defiant tone underlined the Kremlin's readiness to challenge Washington at a time when U.S.-Russian relations are strained over Syria and a Russian ban on adoptions by Americans.

U.S. and Ecuadorean officials said they believed Snowden was still in Russia. He fled there Sunday from Hong Kong, where he had been hiding out since his disclosure of the broad scope of two highly classified U.S. counterterror surveillance programs. The programs collect vast amounts of Americans' phone records and worldwide online data in the name of national security.

Lavrov claimed that the Russian government found out about Snowden's flight from Hong Kong only from news reports.

"We have no relation to Mr. Snowden, his relations with American justice or his travels around the world," Lavrov said. "He chooses his route himself, and we have learned about it from the media."

Snowden booked a seat on a Havana-bound flight from Moscow on Monday en route to Venezuela and then possible asylum in Ecuador, but he didn't board the plane. Russian news media have reported that he has remained in a transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, but journalists there haven't seen him.

A representative of WikiLeaks has been traveling with Snowden, and the organization is believed to be assisting him in arranging asylum. The organization's founder, Julian Assange, said Monday that Snowden was only passing through Russia and had applied for asylum in Ecuador, Iceland and possibly other countries.

A high-ranking Ecuadorean official told The Associated Press that Russia and Ecuador were discussing where Snowden could go, saying the process could take days. He also said Ecuador's ambassador to Moscow had not seen or spoken to Snowden. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

Ecuador's foreign minister, Ricardo Patino, hailed Snowden on Monday as "a man attempting to bring light and transparency to facts that affect everyone's fundamental liberties."

He described the decision on whether to grant Snowden asylum as a choice between "betraying the citizens of the world or betraying certain powerful elites in a specific country."

State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S. had made demands to "a series of governments," including Ecuador, that Snowden be barred from any international travel other than to be returned to the U.S. The U.S. has revoked Snowden's passport.

"We're following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other countries to make sure that the rule of law is observed," President Barack Obama told reporters.

Some experts said it was likely that Russian spy agencies were questioning Snowden on what he knows about U.S. electronic espionage against Moscow.

"If Russian special services hadn't shown interest in Snowden, they would have been utterly unprofessional," Igor Korotchenko, a former colonel in Russia's top military command turned security analyst, said on state Rossiya 24 television.

The Kremlin has previously said Russia would be ready to consider Snowden's request for asylum.

The Interfax news agency, which has close contacts with Russian security agencies, quoted an unidentified "well-informed source" in Moscow as saying Tuesday that Snowden could be detained for a check of his papers. The report could reflect that authorities are searching for a pretext to keep Snowden in Russia.

Snowden is a former CIA employee who later was hired as a contractor for the NSA. In that job, he gained access to documents that he gave to newspapers The Guardian and The Washington Post to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an authoritarian government.

Snowden also told the South China Morning Post newspaper in Hong Kong that "the NSA does all kinds of things like hack Chinese cellphone companies to steal all of your SMS data." He is believed to have more than 200 additional sensitive documents in laptops he is carrying.

Some observers said in addition to the sensitive data, Snowden's revelations have provided the Kremlin with propaganda arguments to counter the U.S. criticism of Russia's crackdown on opposition and civil activists under President Vladimir Putin.

"They would use Snowden to demonstrate that the U.S. government doesn't sympathize with the ideals of freedom of information, conceals key information from the public and stands ready to open criminal proceedings against those who oppose it," Konstantin Remchukov, the editor of independent daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta, said on Ekho Moskvy radio.

Putin has accused the U.S. State Department of instigating protests in Moscow against his re-election for a third term and has taken an anti-American posture that plays well with his core support base of industrial workers and state employees.

Man arrested over British family murder in French Alps

LONDON/PARIS (Reuters) - Police in Britain have arrested a man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder a British family of Iraqi origin who were killed in a high-profile murder in France last year, French public prosecutor Eric Maillaud said on Monday.

Saad al-Hilli, an Iraqi-born British engineer, was found shot dead in September 2012 with his wife and mother-in-law in their BMW car on a remote mountain road near the village of Chevaline, with the body of a cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, discovered nearby.

They were killed in what appeared to be execution-style murders, with at least two hits to the head from a semi-automatic pistol.

Speaking to Reuters, Maillaud identified Saad al-Hilli's brother Zaid as the man arrested.

"Several lines of questioning closed over time... The main theory today is linked to the family," he said.

"There seems to have been a real desire on Zaid's part to recover his father's wealth, to Saad's detriment, by any means necessary, including illegally."

Maillaud said there was no formal evidence, but that police now had enough elements to question Zaid as a suspect.

Hilli's two daughters survived the attack, despite the gunman trying to kill the eldest - 7-year-old Zainab - by beating her around the head after running out of bullets.

Four-year-old Zeena was found safe hiding beneath the legs and skirt of her dead mother in the backseat of the car.

The brutality and unexplained nature of the killings led to prominent coverage of the case in British media.

Investigators have said previously they were looking at various theories, including robbery, a family feud, a possible link to Hilli's work in the aerospace industry or his Iraqi origins.

BEIRUT (AP) ? Lebanese troops battled heavily armed followers of a hard-line Sunni cleric holed up in a mosque complex in a southern port city on Monday, the second day of fighting that has left at least 16 soldiers dead, the military said.

The clashes in Sidon, Lebanon's third-largest city, are the latest bout of violence in Lebanon linked to the conflict in neighboring Syria.

They are the bloodiest yet involving the army and are seen as a test for the state in containing extremist armed groups that have taken up the cause of the warring sides in Syria. The civil war next door has been bleeding into Lebanon, following similar sectarian lines of Sunni and Shiite camps.

The fierce fight that the followers of Sheik Ahmad al-Assir were putting up showed how aggressive Sunni extremists have grown in Lebanon, building on anger not only at Syria's regime but also its Shiite allies in Lebanon, Hezbollah. The two days of fighting have transformed Sidon, which had been largely spared the violence plaguing border areas near Syria, into a combat zone.

The 45-year-old, bespectacled and long-bearded al-Assir is a virulent critic of Hezbollah. He has been agitating for months, demanding Hezbollah disarm and accusing the army of inaction in the face of the group's growing involvement in Syria on the side of President Bashar Assad.

The maverick cleric was little known until few years ago and his growing following was a symptom of the deep frustration among Sunnis who resent the Hezbollah-led Shiite ascendancy to power in Lebanon. Hezbollah and its allies dominate Lebanon's government.

The clashes in predominantly Sunni Sidon, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Beirut, left 50 wounded on Monday, the National News Agency said. At least two military officers were among those killed. Hospital officials said at least three of al-Assir's supporters died in the fighting.

Machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenade explosions caused panic among residents, who also reported power and water outages.

The city streets appeared largely deserted Monday. Local media reported many residents were asking for evacuation from the heavily populated neighborhood around the Bilal bin Rabbah Mosque where al-Assir preaches, and where the fighting has been concentrated.

The military in a statement said the gunmen were using the religious compound to fire on its troops and had taken civilians as shields. The clashes erupted Sunday in the predominantly Sunni city after troops arrested an al-Assir follower. The army says supporters of the cleric opened fire without provocation on an army checkpoint.

The local municipality said that the city is "a war zone," appealing for a cease-fire to evacuate the civilians and wounded in the area.

Many people living on upper floors moved downstairs for cover or fled to safer areas. Some were seen carrying children as they fled. Others remained locked in their homes or shops, fearing getting caught in the crossfire. Gray smoke billowed over parts of the city.

The military appealed to the gunmen to hand themselves in, vowing it will "continue to uproot the strife and will not stop its operations until security is totally restored."

Hezbollah appeared to be staying largely out of the ongoing clashes, though a few of its supporters in the city were briefly drawn into the fight Sunday, firing on al-Assir's supporters. At least one was killed, according to his relatives in the city who spoke anonymously out of concerns for their security.

Last week, al-Assir supporters fought with pro-Hezbollah gunmen, leaving two killed.

Hezbollah issued a statement condemning "the crimes committed by al-Assir and his gang" and declared its solidarity with the military institution, calling on all Lebanese to rally around the national army.

Early Monday, al-Assir on his Twitter account appealed to his supporters in other parts of Lebanon to rise to his help, threatening to widen the scale of clashes.

The tweets did not give a clear statement on how the battle began. It came after a series of incidents pitting the cleric's followers against other groups in the town, including Hezbollah supporters and the army.

The cleric is believed to have hundreds of armed supporters in Sidon involved in the fighting. Dozens of al-Assir's gunmen also partially shut down the main highway linking south Lebanon with Beirut. On Monday, they opened fire in other parts of the city, with local media reporting gunshots in the city's market.

Fighting also broke out in parts of Ein el-Hilweh, a teeming Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, where al-Assir has supporters. Islamist factions inside the camp lobbed mortars at military checkpoints around the camp.

Tension also spread to the north in Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city. Masked gunmen roamed the city center, firing in the air and forcing shops and businesses to shut down in solidarity with al-Assir. Dozens of gunmen also set fire to tires, blocking roads. The city's main streets were emptying out. There was no unusual military or security deployment.

Sectarian clashes in Lebanon tied to the Syrian conflict have intensified in recent weeks, especially after Hezbollah sent fighters to support Assad's forces. Most of the rebels fighting to topple Assad are from Syria's Sunni majority, while the President Bashar Assad belongs to the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

Walid al-Moallem, Syria's foreign minister, blamed the violence in Lebanon on the international decision to arm rebels, saying that it will only serve to prolong the fighting in Syria and will impact neighboring Lebanon.

"What is going in Sidon is very dangerous, very dangerous," he told reporters in Damascus. "We warned since the start that the impact of what happens in Syria on neighboring countries will be grave."

In Syria, activists reported fighting Monday between Syrian troops and rebels in the northern province of Aleppo as well as districts on the edge of the Syrian capital and its suburbs.

Clashes in Lebanon have also mostly pitted Sunni against Shiite. The most frequent outbreaks have involved rival neighborhoods in the northern port city of Tripoli, close to the Syrian border.

President Michel Suleiman called for an emergency security meeting later Monday.

Headlines of Lebanon's newspapers were all dominated by the violence in Sidon, with many seeing it as a test for the state to impose order. "An attempt to assassinate Sidon and the military," read the headline of the daily al-Safir. "Al-Assir crosses the red line," read another headline in al-Jomhouria daily. A third headline in al-Nahar read: "Yesterday war in Sidon. Today, decisiveness or settlement?"

Frenkel to return as Israel's central bank chief

By Steven Scheer

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Jacob Frenkel, an inflation hawk who was Bank of Israel governor in the 1990s, will be returning to the helm of the central bank, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yair Lapid said on Sunday.

They appointed Frenkel to replace Stanley Fischer, who is stepping down at the end of June after eight years on the job, having guided Israel's economy through the global financial crisis.

Frenkel, 70, beat deputy governor Karnit Flug, who will likely be acting central bank chief until Frenkel starts. The date of his arrival was not announced.

"He is a world renowned figure, which is what Netanyahu was looking for," said HSBC economist Jonathan Katz.

As governor between 1991 and 2000, Frenkel was credited with reducing inflation, liberalising financial markets and removing foreign exchange controls.

He is currently chairman of JPMorgan Chase International and also served as vice chairman of insurer American International Group as well as chairman of Merrill Lynch International. Frenkel also is the head of the Group of Thirty, a private consulting group on international and financial issues.

"We are certainly talking about a governor who will act as the responsible adult, who will fill the position of Fischer with quality and authority," said Joseph Fraiman, chief executive at Prico Risk Management and Investments.

"No less important, Frenkel will benefit from the international credit that is greatly needed for the Israeli economy, especially in the current period," he added.

Frenkel, whose appointment needs cabinet approval, will face several challenges including continuing Fischer's insistence that the government stick to responsible policies and working to halt fast-rising home prices.

Israel's economy grew 3.2 percent in 2012, but is expected to slow to a 2.8 percent this year excluding the start of natural gas production.

Inflation, which ranged between 1.3 and 18 percent in the 1990s, was at an annual rate of 0.9 percent in May. At the same time, the shekel is strong.

To encourage economic growth and keep exports competitive, the Bank of Israel reduced its benchmark interest rate twice in May, to 1.25 percent. The central bank next decides on Monday and analysts largely believe the key rate will stay unchanged.

When Frenkel was last in the job, the governor alone made interest rate decisions. Now, there is a six-member monetary policy committee with the bank chief as chairman.

"Frenkel will need to work harmoniously with the monetary council he inherited from Fischer," said Yaniv Pagot, chief strategist at the Ayalon Group. "This is not a simple challenge that could, in a certain situation, bring the first cracks."

He said that, with Israel's foreign exchange reserves nearing $80 billion, it would be interesting to see whether Frenkel would continue intervening in the foreign exchange market and buy dollars to defend Israel's exports if the shekel continues to appreciate.

Edward Snowden tells South China Morning Post he took Booz Allen job to collect NSA information

Edward Snowden may now be far from Hong Kong, but the South China Morning Post has just revealed more details from an interview he granted on June 12th while he was still there. According to the paper, Snowden reportedly said that he took a job with NSA-contractor Booz Allen Hamilton in order to gather additional evidence about the spy agency's activities. "My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked," he said. "That is why I accepted that position about three months ago." He reportedly further said "correct on Booz," when asked if he specifically went to Booz Allen to gather evidence of surveillance. As the paper notes, Snowden also said that he took pay cuts "in the course of pursuing specific work" in an online Q&A with The Guardian last week, and he's also indicated that he has more information he intends to leak, adding that he'd like to "make it available to journalists in each country to make their own assessment."

Erdogan defends riot police tactics in Turkey protests

By Daren Butler

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan piled ridicule on activists behind weeks of protests against his government during a rally on Sunday and defended riot police who fired water cannon at crowds in Istanbul a day earlier.

Looking out of over a sea of Turkish flags waved by his AK Party faithful in the eastern city of Erzurum, Erdogan praised his supporters and the general public for opposing what he called a plot against his country.

"The people saw this game from the start and frustrated it. They (the protesters) thought the people would say nothing. They said we will burn and destroy and do what we want but the people will do nothing," he said.

Sunday's mass rally was the fifth which Erdogan has called since protests began in Istanbul in an unprecedented challenge to his 10-year rule.

The unrest was triggered when police used force against campaigners opposed to plans to develop Istanbul's Gezi Park, but they quickly turned into a broader show of anger at what critics call Erdogan's growing authoritarianism.

The protests have underlined divisions in Turkish society between religious conservatives who form the bedrock of Erdogan's support and more liberal Turks who have swelled the ranks of demonstrators.

He ending his speech by throwing red carnations to the roughly 15,000-strong crowd in the AK Party stronghold.

MARCH ELECTIONS

The AK Party rallies are focused on boosting party support ahead of municipal elections scheduled for next March and Erdogan said voters would then give their verdict on the weeks of unrest.

"Those who came out using the excuse of Gezi at Taksim Square will get their answer at the ballot box," he said.

Erdogan, who won a third consecutive election in 2011 with 50 percent support, sees himself as a champion of democratic reform, and has been riled by the protests and by international condemnation coming mainly from key trade partner Germany.

Saturday's clashes occurred after thousands of protesters gathered in Istanbul's Taksim Square, which adjoins Gezi Park, to remember the three demonstrators and one police officer who died in earlier protests. Many refused to leave after calls from the police for them to disperse.

Erdogan defended the tactics of the police, who also used fired teargas canisters to scatter protesters in nearby streets in cat-and-mouse clashes.

"Yesterday they wanted to occupy the square again. The police were patient up to a certain point," he said. "When they didn't leave the police was forced to get them out."

There were also clashes on Saturday night in the capital Ankara, where riot police fired water cannon and teargas to break up hundreds of protesters.

The interior ministry estimates about 2.5 million people have taken part in demonstrations across Turkey since the unrest began on May 31, Milliyet newspaper reported on Sunday.

Around 4,900 protesters have been detained and 4,000 protesters and 600 police injured, the report added.

The interior ministry also said the protests had caused 140 million lira ($72 million) worth of damage to public buildings and vehicles.

Fab Food Friday Fotos: Chicken Fajitas, Strawberry Daiquiri, Wafu ...

Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on June 21, 2013

?Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your dinner be a poem, like your dress.?

~ 19th-century French author Charles Pierre Monselet

FOOD. GLORIOUS FOOD.

Today is the official first day of summer, and many of the fabulous food photos and recipes in this week?s round-up are perfect for summer pool parties, for picnics or BBQs, or for cooler, lighter family dining or snacking during these hotter days.

When they?re available, recipes and recipe links will accompany select ?Fab Food Friday Fotos,? with a guarantee that at least one easy-on-the-wallet recipe will always be included.

Chicken Fajitas with Slow Roasted Tomato Salsa | Photo credit: esimpraim, Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

These delicious chicken fajitas are easy to make, perfect for summer eating, and a frugal, creative way to use up leftovers. The word ?faja? is Spanish for ?strip,? ?band,? ?sash,? or ?belt.? ?Fajita? is a term in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine for little meat strips, usually grilled chicken or beef cooked with onions and bell peppers, served as a taco on flour or corn tortilla. You can modify the recipe to your own tastes, use any other leftover meats.

Photographer/cook esimpraim provided this Dishing Up Delights recipe link and wrote this:

This past Saturday after I was done volunteering, I made a pitcher of margs and these fajitas. They were so yummy and worth the time browning the onions and making tortillas. Homemade tortillas are so easy to make and taste so much better than the store bought variety. I encourage you to try them sometime. I had just a few slow roasted tomatoes left so I combined them with a few things to make a really delicious and spicy salsa. This was a most excellent way to use up leftover chicken.

Recipe for this glorious stew, with this introduction, is posted at Girl Interrupted Eating:

This recipe is, I am afraid, a shameless rip off of Stewed founder Alan Rosenthal?s take on Khoresht fesenjan, a Persian Chicken Stew made with pomegranate molasses and walnuts (previously reproduced by Niamh at Eat Like a Girl).

I am happily addicted to pomegranate molasses and always looking for new recipes. In fact liked the sound of the recipe so much I bought his cookbook, worth a look. I could definitely eat every dish in it.

If you think stew is just beef, carrots, and gravy (can?t believe anyone reading my blog would?), this book will change your mind with Kashmiri Lamb with Yogurt and Ginger, Italian Caponata Aubergine stew & Beef Massaman Curry. Also, although not mentioned by Alan, I think they all lend themselves really well to cooking in my beloved slow cooker.

The first time I made it I followed the recipe completely tracking down sour cherries, toasting and grinding walnuts and scattering the finished dish with fresh pomegranate seeds. It was a lovely dish to eat around Christmas, sweet and sour.

Now summer I have tweaked the recipe for more cheaper and readily available ingredients, nuttiness ground almonds, sweetness from dates, sour from lemons, the one thing I could not do without is pomegranate molasses to add that sour note.

Watermelon Salad | Photo credit: Valerie Lam, Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

Summer isn?t summer without watermelon. This refreshing salad has chunks of watermelon, fresh basil, and crumbled feta as its main ingredients. On the ease of making this salad, photographer/cook Valerie Lam wrote, ?Literally, all you do is wash, chop, and toss. Leave that frying pan where it is and don?t even think about pre-heating your oven! And salads can get very pretty and elaborate without all that much work. The key is to have variety in every sense ? colour, texture, shape, size.?

Recipe is here at The Pedestrian Cooks.

Blue Corn & Blueberries Muffin | Photo credit: Justin Snow, Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

Photographer/cook Justin Snow provided this muffin recipe:

This is the only recipe that came out good on the first try! I?ve tweaked the recipe the tiniest bit more and I suspect it will be even better. This is my first time using blue corn and I?m slightly disappointed that it didn?t make the dough very blue at all. They are golden with blue flecks and blue blobs (the berries). This recipe makes 12 muffins.

* 1 cup blue cornmeal
* 1 cup whole wheat flour for pastry
* 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
* 1/4-1/2 cup agave nectar, depending on how sweet you like your muffins
* 1 tbsp. baking powder
* 1/8 tsp. salt (I used just a pinch & then realized it needed more)
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 1/4 cup apple sauce
* 2 tbsp. canola oil
* Zest & juice of one lemon (I used a Meyer lemon and it was very tasty)

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 min.

Photographer/cook Joe Cascio provided this brief summary:

My wife found this recipe a while ago, and it has become a favorite in our house. It?s diced salmon cooked in coconut milk with summer squash and wilted bok choy. Spices are turmeric and red curry paste! Served on wild rice with a little chopped cilantro on top. It?s delicious.

Coconut Layer Cake | Photo credit: paige_eliz, Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

This looks much like a cake my own grandmother used to serve. Photographer/cook paige_eliz shared this background info, plus the Chef-Girl recipe link:

This year was my first mother?s day with only one grandma. Since it was also that same grandma?s birthday two days after the holiday, I decided to throw a special little party for her, my mom and my godmother. Coconut is my grandma?s absolute favourite, so I scoured my cookbooks and the internet for just the right dessert.

Everyone came over for afternoon tea and I served a fancy coconut layer cake with tea or blueberry lemonade. The cake recipe came from Martha Stewart and the lemonade recipe can be found below. The cake was a two day preparation, but still simple enough for a layer cake. I?d never made seven-minute frosting before, but was quite pleased with how easily it came together and how lovely it looks once spread over a cake. Turns out it was my great-grandmother?s signature icing, so maybe I have it in my genes.

Recipe link and summary of these gluten-free chocolate and hazelnut brownies from photographer/cook David Wagner:

My first attempt at making something for a specific dietary requirement. Hopefully, it won?t poison them?

It?s the previous recipe I used (see Ultimate Foodies) but with rice flour substituted for plain flour. It?s a little dryer than those, but still eminently yummable.

I may try another set with soy flour next week.

Roasting crisps the potatoes on the outside, but the inside is still soft and creamy. Mixing the dressing in right after they come out of the oven creates a glossy, sticky glaze.

Cajun Roasted Chickpeas | Photo credit: I Believe I Can Fry, Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

Roasted chickpeas? I?ve never thought of roasting them, but it sounds tasty, especially with the Cajun flavoring. This vegetarian snack recipe just may get an outing at our next family potluck/pool party. The recipe is posted at I Believe I Can Fry, with this overview:

I?m trying to eat better without giving up so many of the flavors that I love. Some people crave sweets ? I?m a salt craver. I usually don?t keep chips in the house since I can?t stop at just one. Cheez-Its are also a huge weakness for me as well. I?ve been good lately, and have curbed my mindless snacking by eating things like nuts, sunflower kernels, and these amazing roasted chickpeas. Dusted with a bit of Cajun seasoning (I used store-bought, but you can make your own), these have just the right amount of heat and an incredible nutty flavor.

Wafu Spaghetti | Photo credit: Todd Lappin (Telstar Logistics), Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

The literal translation of ?wafu? is ?Japanese style? ? photographer/cook Todd Lappin elaborates further and shares his recipe:

Wafu spaghetti is a Japanese interpretation of Italian-style pasta. Lest you be tempted to giggle, the Japanese kids are eating this stuff up nowadays, and in some Tokyo neighborhoods, you can?t turn a corner without bumping into a spaghetti joint. Seriously. It?s fusion cuisine, really ? Japanese flavors with Italian pasta, served with a fork, a spoon, and a generous portion of Parmesan. There?s one restaurant in San Francisco that serves wafu spaghetti (On the Bridge, in Japantown), but that?s all the way across town. Recently, however, I reverse-engineered the recipe. It?s painfully simple, delicious, super-fast to prepare, and painless to clean up.

Wafu Spaghetti
(Quantities here for a single serving; scale accordingly)

* Spaghetti
* Green Onion (2 stalks)
* Butter
* 10 ? 15 medium mushrooms (Shiitake are best, white will work)
* Soy sauce (lighter is better)
* Some chopped nori (dried seaweed)
* Sake (optional)

Bring your pot of spaghetti water to a boil.

While the water heats, chop the green onions, slice the mushrooms, and chop some nori into thin strips.

In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter, then saute the green onions. Add the mushrooms, and saute for a few minutes. Remove from heat until spaghetti water comes to a boil.

When the water comes to a boil, add the spaghetti.

As the pasta cooks, return the skillet to heat, then add enough soy sauce to coat the bottom of your skillet. Add a pinch or two of chopped nori. Add a splash of sake, if you?re feeling nutty. Bring the mixture to a low simmer for 2 or 3 minutes, to allow it to reduce. Remove from heat until the spaghetti is ready.

Drain the spaghetti, and add a portion?s worth to the skillet, and toss with the sauce. Heat to taste on the stove, then serve on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Add some more shredded nori on the top, and some parmesan, to taste.

Consume.

EXTRA CREDIT: The sauce can also be served with bonus treats, such as sliced ham, or (better yet) pancetta. I?ve also had it served with Japanese goodies, such as tobiko (flying fish roe); just pile some on at the end, just before adding Parmesan.

Cherry Tomato Mix | Photo credit: Dwight Sipler, Flickr, Creative Commons, some rights reserved

Photographer Dwight Sipler wrote this fascinating summary about cherry tomato varieties:

For many years we grew only one kind of cherry tomato, ?Sun Gold?. We occasionally tried other varieties (since people are used to red cherry tomatoes and Sun Gold is orange), but didn?t find any that taste as good as our pick.

When we first started growing tomatoes, we had a variety that did well for us and tasted good so we grew that one. After growing it for a couple of years that variety disappeared from the catalogs. We had to scramble to find a substitute. Since then we grow 3 or more new varieties every year on a trial basis. Most of them don?t make it, but we now have several varieties we depend on. If one disappears, we have others that will work.

I finally decided to do the same with cherry tomatoes. In five years of trying other varieties, we have found a couple of good ones, but none to match the Sun Gold.

We grow the various varieties in our cherry tomato maze, which acts as a kids? entertainment and educational activity as well as a testbed for our variety trials.

A couple of years ago we found that pints of mixed cherry tomatoes were popular so we started selling mixed boxes.

This is a mixture of varieties from which we fill the pint boxes. It includes a variety of colors and shapes. I can?t identify them all from the photo, but I have a map that shows where they are planted so I can identify them when picking.

As dubious as these Jell-O flavors sound, I?d kinda-sorta like to try the celery gelatin at least once. Bet it would make for an interesting jellied salad with tiny shrimp or diced chicken added, perhaps with some minced onion and bit of chopped celery. Per Wikipedia, ?[T]hese salads would become so popular that Jell-O responded with savory and vegetable flavors such as celery, Italian, mixed vegetable, and seasoned tomato. These savory flavors have since been discontinued.?

Photographer jbcurio wrote:

You knew somebody had to market a product like this, given the popularity of jellied salads in 50s/60s cookbooks?
