Mainly I eat popsicles in the summer, but I love reading about food all the same.
I loved Brian Wansink’s book Mindless Eating about how we eat way more than we mean to on a daily basis. This book is the natural sequel to that book with solutions to those problems at work, home, school, restaurants and the grocery store. Totally useful and hands-on, you’ll also be bursting with good anecdotes and facts to share while you eat potato chips at a backyard barbecue.
I will admit I’m not the biggest Barbara Kingsolver fan in all the land, but I picked this one up on a whim about five years ago and listened to it during my commute. And I LOVED it. For a year, Kingsolver, her husband and their daughters live on a small farm on the East Coast, eating only what they raise or can buy locally (I think of her every time I buy bananas). This was one of the early books about the local food movement and I think it is still one of the best.
You’ll basically just want to invite Shauna over to your house for dinner after reading this book (or better yet, have her invite you over). It’s homey, delightful, and funny in the sweetest kind of way. Plus, if you like to spend some time in the summer in your kitchen, the book is packed with good recipes. If you make the blueberry and peach breakfast crisp, please invite me over.
If you’ve looked at the local, organic food movement and wondered “what about regular people who can’t afford $5 apples?” this is the book for you. McMillan goes undercover working in a garlic field, a Wal-Mart and an Applebees, living on her income from those place and seeing how food in American gets on the plates of those at all income levels. Totally interesting and eye-opening.
I don’t eat at a lot of high-end restaurants (read. . .no high-end restaurants), but I loved reading about Damrosch’s experiences as a waiter at the super-swanky Per Se restaurant in New York City from the staff training and dynamics to the patrons and the food. Also, what would it be like to order an appetizer with a triple digit price tag? I’ll probably never know.
I read Animal Vegetable Miracle when it came out and struggled with it. Great concept but overly preachy.

← A Weekend at Fairyhouse Hall.
It’s Spring Break, and I had lofty plans about all that I would get done… but that isn’t happening, never happens. Might as well take stock of the things that are happening in our lives.
Making : Wish lists on Airbnb for all the imaginary vacations I want to take. Way cheaper than planning real ones.
Cooking : Gorgonzola, bacon, and sundried tomato stuffed chicken… so easy and tasty and tonight will be my 3rd time in 8 days. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
Drinking : Coffee coffee coffee.
Reading: Just finished Lewis Mumford’s The City in History… because FUN. I mean, dissertation.
Looking: At pictures from our visit to the Infinity Mirros exhibit yesterday.
Playing: Endless games with Henry, because he is at that stage where everything is a game. Eating scrambled eggs in the morning? THROW THEM ON THE GROUND AND TRY TO KICK MOM IN THE HEAD AND GIGGLE WHILE SHE PICKS THEM UP. Vacuuming? CHASE THE FASCINATING BEAST AND GRAB AT THE CORD. Surfaces to whack and drawers to pull and toilets to hit and life to explore? SO EXCITING: BEST GAME EVER.
Wasting: Too much time. We all do, but parenthood has made me acutely aware of that. I watch commercials like this and lose it, crying the ugly cry, just like it was the This Is Us finale all over again.
Sewing: Never, but I do daily consider sewing a pouch on my Ergo360, because whoever designed that thing without one should be fired.
Wishing: That PBS hadn’t changed their streaming situation, because I was really banking on grading midterms and compositions all break while watching Victoria.
Enjoying: The way that Henry tries to mimic silly things we do. I love to pop up over the edge of the tub while I bath him and play peek-a-boo, and he has started trying to do it, lunging upward in a flurry of giggles and splashes and it is THE BEST.
Waiting: Until we file our taxes this weekend and see if any of those imaginary vacations can materialize.
Liking: Face masks. Fancy soaps. All the tiny little pamperings that I look forward to at the end of my frizzy pulled-on hair, spit-up encrusted, haggard day.
Wondering: When things will slow down a little at work for James. Henry and I have missed our favorite person a lot this week.
Loving: The way that Henry snuggled against me and dozed after nursing yesterday morning. I just wasn’t ready to start the day yet, and so I hauled him into bed to nurse in the dark and then we both started our day more gently and slowly and quietly and perfectly.
Hoping: That I can keep nursing when I stop pumping on the days I work in a couple weeks, because I am just so over pumping.
Needing: A nap. That fierce love sure is exhausting.
Following: DC Cherry Blossom Watch to see if the trees, who have had every variety of ridiculous East Coast Winter-Spring Mashup thrown at them, will pull through so I can visit them soon.
Noticing: How much happier I feel about days at home when there are fresh flowers on my table… maybe because it balances out the scrambled eggs ground into my rug?
Knowing: That as messy as these days at home are, they are so good and beautiful.
Thinking: That sometimes it would be easier if I was totally staying home, so I could excel at that, or working more full time, so I could really invest at that.
Feeling: That at the same time, I am impossibly lucky to get to do both. It doesn’t always lead to clean floors, or lengthy writing sessions, or mental clarity. But it is so very good.
Beautiful pictures! I really like our Roomba. I was skeptical at how well it would keep wood floors clean, but you definitely can tell a difference… especially if you wear shoes in the house. We don’t have to worry about the eggs, our dog takes care of that! If you can snag one on sale, I’d get it. Just be sure to empty everyday so it’s most effective.
Haha! Yes, the ergo does need a pouch. I used to get so annoyed! I do believe you can buy a pouch for it… I think someone told me that ergo sold it separately.

Taxpayers that don’t withhold and make estimated tax payments equal to 110% of the prior year tax or 90% of the current year tax are subject to Federal tax penalties. The IRS is not going to assess a penalty for individuals who have paid in at least 85% of their current year tax for the 2018 tax year. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act adjusted the 2018 withholding tables, this adjustment reduced the withholding and may cause taxpayers to be under paid. Taxpayers saw more money in their paychecks starting in February 2018, which should account for the reduction in tax rates but not everyone will see a reduction in tax rates equal to the reduction in withholding.
According to the IRS some taxpayers will have a larger income tax bill in 2018 because of the reduced payroll withholding. It is difficult to determine how the numerous tax law changes will affect each taxpayer, putting them at risk of underpayment penalties. It is estimated that 30 million taxpayers will owe money with their 2018 personal income tax returns.
Taxpayers will need to remember the decrease in withholding that occurred in 2018 to understand the change in their tax refund or payment due. Please contact us here or call 513-241-8313 to speak with a member of the Barnes Dennig team for any questions regarding your tax situation.

text: The Las Vegas real estate market got a small reprieve in February; with sales volume at a four-year high for the month and a dip in foreclosure resales helping prices increase slightly from January. A total of 3,698 new and existing houses and condos were sold in the Las Vegas-Paradise metro area in February, according to MDA DataQuick. That’s up 9.8% from January and 10.5% from one year ago. A 5.7% increase from January to February is the average, dating back to 1994, DataQuick said. The February 2010 total was the highest for the month since 2006, when 6,065 homes were sold, but 2% below the 16-year average February sales total. It’s the 18th straight month that total sales rose year-over-year. Existing home sales totaled 3,311, up 7.1% from January and up 9.5% from last year. It’s the highest total for February existing sales since 2005. Existing home sales are on a 22-month-long run of monthly year-over-year increases. Foreclosure resales accounted for 59.6% of all resales in February, down from 62% in January and down from 70.6% last year. After peaking in April 2009 at 73.7%, foreclosure resales have declined every month. While foreclosure resales were down, foreclosure proceedings were up. In February, 1,756 homes and condos were foreclosed on in Las Vegas, up 5.3% from January, but down 52.8% from 3,718 foreclosures last year. New home sales totaled 387 in February, up 40% from January and up 20.2% from last year, but it was one of the slowest February sales totals in DataQuick’s 16 years of records, second only to last year. The decline in foreclosure resales and the increase in new home sales helped the median price increase from January, but only slightly. The median price paid for all new and resale houses and condos sold in the Las Vegas metro area in February was $126,197, up 0.4% from $125,750 in January but down 17.2% from $152,500 a year earlier. DataQuick said the year-over-year decline was the smallest since March 2008, when the median dropped 16% from a year earlier, to $247,925. In addition, sales of homes over $200,000 made up 22.4% of total sales, up from 21.3% in January but down from 30.8% a year earlier. The median sales price is on a 34-month-long run of monthly year-over-year declines and in February 2010, was 59.6% below the peak median of $312,000 in November 2006. The median price for single-family homes was $133,800 in February, down from $135,000 in January and down from $157,000 last year. The median condo sales price was $69,000, even from January, but down 9.2% from $76,000 last year. Nearly half — 49.8% — of borrowers that used mortgages to fund home purchases used government-backed Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans. Cash buyers accounted for 51.5% of all February sales, up from 50.4% in January. DataQuick defines cash borrowers as those purchases where there was no indication of a purchase mortgage recorded at the time of sale, but can include those that used alternative financing arrangements and in some cases borrowers might be taking out mortgages after their purchases. Absentee buyers, usually investors, but anyone who indicates at the time of sale that the property tax bill will go to a different address, accounted for 44.6% of all Las Vegas area home sales. However, house flipping declined. Homes sold in February that had previously sold in the past three weeks to six months accounted for 3.7% of all sales, down from 5% in January, but up from 2.6% last year. Write to Austin Kilgore.

It seems inevitable that as the year draws to a close, we look back over the past 12 months, think of the good (and the not-so-good) things that have transpired, and muse about how the upcoming year may unfold.
For our family, this past year has been like no other – difficult, distressing, demanding, and yet strangely uplifting as it has played out.
Maybe not so odd that a much-quoted-quote from Dickens came to mind during these end-of-year musings. To be sure I had remembered it correctly, I looked up the quote but found when I did that the original phrasing seemed to fall in the wrong order.
The worst of times – the darkness of Lynsey’s brain tumour diagnosis.
The best of times – the rise of an absolutely incredible number of supporters… not just Lynsey’s official Firecrackers team who provided such strong support before, during, and after the Spring Sprint fundraiser for the Brain Tumour Foundation in May, but the many, MANY people – friends, relatives, neighbours, friends of friends, co-workers, even complete strangers – who rallied ‘round with prayers, advice, rides, donations, research, friendship, financial support, and yes, even SOUP!
The year of UN-believability – how was it possible that our beautiful, full-of-energy daughter who had just started out on her very promising career, could be diagnosed with a brain tumour?!
The year of Reality – MRI’s and neurosurgeons don’t lie.
The season of Darkness – the 12 month ‘sentence’ of chemotherapy with its many accompanying challenges and side effects – and, of course, worry.
The spring of Hope – discovering many medical and personal support opportunities, including the discovery of YACC (Young Adult Cancer Canada) and the knowledge that people – around the world in fact! – were, and ARE holding Lynsey in their thoughts.
Months of Despair – the months of despair.
We had nothing before us, we had everything before us – the ‘nothing-ness’ of being POST-chemo coupled with the sense that new possibilities lie before us leaves us open to explore ALL options with a very positive attitude.
…and THAT is as close to Dickensian as I shall EVER be, I’m sure!
During the past year, our family’s life seems to exemplify Levi-Montalcini’s words – many extremely ‘difficult moments’ but definite evidence of ‘the best’ coming from them.
with things in a way that continually blows me away, and makes me feel privileged to be by her side on this journey.
The remarkable rise of supporters around our family is another of those ‘best’ things this year. The old adage about the cream rising to the top really applies here, for we have seen people who were mere acquaintances prior to this year become the closet of friends, and complete strangers encircle our family with support in many forms.
And the last, but certainly not the least of the ‘best’ things have been the stripping away of the insignificant in our lives and a fine-tuning of the focus on everyday joy. Priorities have been sharply realigned – and all in a wonderful way. The reality is that EVERY day is a gift… for EVERYONE, not just people who are struggling with things – and the sooner we all GET this, the better off we will be!
Previously, I wrote about fear and worry. Now I feel enveloped by a strong sense of hope and a lightness that comes with the joy of being intimately connected to remarkable people.
With everyone’s continued support, and with Lynsey as the beacon to light our way, ‘the best’ will continue to rise from the ‘difficult moments’ that may challenge us down the road.
Together, I feel certain we will achieve a HAPPY and HEALTH-FILLED New Year!
For well, about a year now, I have been looking for articles, testimonials, anything, to guide me in some way in my role as a supporter to Lynsey. Aside from what I learned at the YACC conference, there has been very little. From time to time either Lynsey or I will come across something, start reading, and find nothing… new or interesting. The truth is, there was really nothing new or interesting out there to help me to begin with.
Honestly, a year ago, the one thing I knew about supporting someone with cancer and on chemotherapy was to wash my hands a lot.
And it’s not just me; it’s not just the direct supporters who have to feel their way around in the dark with this disease. It’s everyone who comes into contact with someone who has cancer. No one knows what to say, what to offer, or what to do in general.
I think one of the great things that I experienced at the YACC conference was the ability to talk openly about cancer with people other than Lyns. As she alluded to in her last post, we don’t really get to do that with anyone else we know. Again, not your fault. From what I gathered at the conference, it seems to be the ‘norm’.
As the world has seen time and time again, the ‘norm’ can change, but it has to be changed. That is why I stand behind Lynsey and Mary’s challenge to embrace vulnerability and be authentic with each other. I believe open, honest, and authentic conversation will be the only way for everyone involved to offer the thoughts, help and support that we all know they intend to. And not just to Lynsey, to each other.
Like I have said, there’s nothing out there that is going to tell you what to say or do. You can only learn that from expressing yourself authentically, hearing others do the same, and growing from that.
Lyns can’t do it alone, Mary can’t do it alone, I can’t do it alone, and you can’t do it alone. Please, let all of us help each other out with this. Who knows, maybe we’ll come up with something new or interesting.
A sincere thank you to everyone who has already reached out and responded to the challenge, and I look forward to reading what even more people have to share.
P.S. This speaker, Brené Brown, gives an amazing talk on the need for people to embrace their own vulnerability, and how it leads to a healthier lifestyle. I strongly suggest everyone check it out.
…my beautiful daughter has thrown down the gauntlet!
Issued the challenge of authenticity to all of us who love her.
With tomorrow marking exactly one year from the very worst day in our family’s life – the day Lynsey’s tumour was discovered on that hateful MRI – many emotions hurricane around me and muddle together. One emotional descriptor, however, stands out above the rest – the “S” word that Lynsey herself identified in her blog post “The Weekend I Felt Normal” (Nov 9).
For most of this past year, I have dealt with the “S” word in the same way that most of the characters in the Harry Potter books related to “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” – that is to say, if “he” (Voldemort) was not actually named out loud, then perhaps he (or in my case, it) won’t be made real.
So ‘SCARED’ was – and very much is – the word.
I can’t shake the image of all of us (our family, that is) being in an extremely wobbly boat during the past year – being tossed around in very choppy waters and certainly thrown about the boat, but all the while being held up and supported within it, and heading in a very specific and prescribed direction.
Now, as the year (and hence the treatment plan) nears ‘completion’, I can’t shake the new image of us having to step OUT of the boat – with no idea of whether there will be solid ground upon which to stand, or just whirling, heaving waters pulling us in an unknown direction.
Despite this unsettling feeling though, I DO feel that if we follow Harry Potter’s lead and speak the word out loud – SCARED – that we can defeat this emotion just as Voldemort was ultimately defeated.
And just like Harry, we too have many friends and supporters who continue to stand by us, fight with us, and help along the way — that means ALL of you who are reading this, and everyone connected to Lynsey in one way or another.
Now it YOUR turn to take up her authenticity challenge.
Together, let’s tackle “SCARED” and send it packing!
This past week, Lynsey invited me to go to one of her medical appointments at the Juravinski Cancer Hospital in Hamilton. Lynsey’s cousin Becky, also a close friend, was already going down with her, and I was both honoured and glad to know that Lynsey felt comfortable enough including me in such a personal and sensitive experience.
One of the things that has impressed me the most about Lynsey, is how open and honest she has been, regarding the struggles she has been facing, since being diagnosed with cancer. Whether it has been the personal feelings and frustrations she has expressed in her blogs, or standing up in front of all the people in attendance at the Spring Sprint Run, or even just during a casual conversation when she articulates her day-to-day worries, she proves time and again how strong she really is.
At the hospital, Lynsey automatically fell into routine, taking a number in the blood clinic waiting area. While we waited for her number to be called, we were talking about the usual everyday, silly-stuff that is of no consequence (for example, what had being happening on the Bachelorette, etc.). We laughed a little and chatted, similarly to how we would if we were at one of our weekly breakfasts or at someone’s house. I started to wonder, (as did Becky), are we being disruptive somehow or not acting as you are suppose to act while in a cancer hospital waiting room? Most of the other patients, all of whom were noticeably older than Lynsey, were quiet and reserved. When we asked if she would have rather we not talk about such unimportant things, she replied, “Nope!” Talking about those things and acting how we ‘normally’ would was what she wanted and needed at the time.
As I am only one of the many people in Lynsey’s life, who have had a glimpse into what she had been going through, it seemed that the routine of driving down to the hospital, having her blood drawn, talking with her cancer doctor about her symptoms and next steps, and finally going to the pharmacy to pick up her chemotherapy medication, had become like second nature to her. All the while, I couldn’t help but think, how ridiculously unfair, that these are the types of activities that now fill up many of her days??
Even though, I am no stranger to hospitals myself, I found that this was such an eye-opening experience and one that I’m glad she chose to share. Lynsey has said that writing her blog and sharing her story has been very therapeutic and has helped her at times to cope. In doing so, I also think she is helping others. Helping people feel less alone and a little more brave, teaching people to be more understanding and compassionate towards others, and to just appreciate life!!
I know this, because I am one of those people!
thanks for sharing this with all of us, and you’re soooo right, we don’t know what they are going through, all we know is that we care and love them and would take it all away for them if we could.

I won! I farking won! The London Bluebird is flying around like a mad, mad thing. Don’t Push It came in first (£4 each way on odds of 16/1, thank you) so I picked up £90 on that and State of Play came in third, another one I had backed both ways. I got £50 from that lovely little horsey. So £65 down and £140 back. That should be enough to pay for this week’s petrol, then. Honestly, soon it will be cheaper to travel by chariot drawn by eight white horses than it will to pop down to Esso and fill up the tank of the Bluebird’s motorcar.
The next horse race features a toff thoroughbred, a tired Scottish racer and a bouncy new stallion. It’s called the General Election. Hedge your bets, kids?
You can’t really make any money betting on the general outcome of a general election. You can bet on the percentage of turnout though, with different odds offered by William Hill on 5% sections (50% – 55% turnout, 55% – 60% turnout, 60% – 65% turnout etc) or you can bet on how many seats each party will win in 50 seat sections. But they also have low odds (only 3/1) that there will be two General Elections this year, not one, so don’t throw those ballot papers away, chaps.
Tony Blair will morph into JR from Dallas, turn up with a deep tan, blinding white teeth, a weird accent and a stetsun – Oh, hang on. He already did.

By general consensus, the documentary film world agrees that Karen Schmeer was an incredibly talented editor, as evidenced by the flood of encomiums that followed her death early last year. But at Tuesday’s screening of Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (by all a accounts a master class in documentary film editing, and, incredibly, Schmeer’s first editing gig on a feature-length film), Schmeer’s friends and colleagues addended her list of editing credits by sharing stories of her sharp sense of humor and generous spirit of giving. In tribute to all of those aspects of Schmeer’s personality, a group of her friends and colleagues last year inaugurated the Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellowship, a year-long program intended to nurture an emerging documentary film editor. Following the screening, STF Artistic Director Thom Powers spoke with colleagues David Schisgall, Brad Fuller, Nina Davenport, Lucia Small and Robin Hessman in a discussion on Schmeer’s life and work. Click “Read more” below for the discussion.
STF: David, you’re listed in the credits as an assistant to the director and I think you have a story about the making of this film and Karen’s role in it.
David Schisgall: I was not involved in the editing of this film, but I was involved in the development and production. Karen came on as an intern while I was still Errol [Morris]’s assistant, and one of the things that happened toward the end of production was that Errol, who is a great genius and a man that I adore, proceeded to fire everybody else in the office around, with the exception of the intern, who was Karen. And everyone was kind of gone, except for one of the young people, who was Karen, who eventually came on to cut the film.
STF: That’s how you get a break, be the last person standing. I would love for each of you to tell a story about your experience working with Karen as an editor and what made her stand out as an editor.
Brad Fuller: I remember getting a copy of this [Fast Cheap & Out of Control], they had been working on it for a year and a half, and when Karen said that it was fast cut, she was absolutely right. I remember telling Errol that it was the fastest cut, slowest paced movie that I’d ever seen, which he keeps repeating back to me years later. I went up to work on it for about three months. Karen had started working in the office at the same time as Shondra [Merrill], who was editing on the film and had been working on it for a year and a half. She was burning out, as does anybody who works for Errol for any length of time. The problem was Karen really wanted to edit, but she was a contemporary of Shondra’s, and Shondra was not comfortable with her as an assistant editor, and so she was just sort of sitting there, doing research and wanting to edit. I came in and worked on it for three months, along with Shondra, and made Karen my assistant and told her what I could. I left after three months—having worked for Errol before on many films, after three months it’s time for me to leave. Then Shondra burned out, left, and Karen took over. It helps to be young with Errol, because you’ll stick it out.
STF: I wanted to point out that Karen was in her late 20s at that time.
Fuller: By the way, the actual lion tamer act that you see, that was actually filmed for The Thin Blue Line. It was done back in ‘84 or something like that. It was shot by Barry Sonnenfeld, who went on to direct Men in Black. The Thin Blue Line was originally going to be about Dr. [James] Grigson, who was called Dr. Death and testified in death penalty cases in Texas. So [wild animal tamer] Dave Hoover was going to be the counterpoint because Grigson was the person who was always saying that these people are beasts. And Dave Hoover was always saying these beasts are just like people—he was the opposite.
STF: Nina, Karen helped you out on your second film Always A Bridesmaid. Can you talk about what she brought to working with you?
Nina Davenport: I actually had seen [Fast Cheap and Out of Control] in the theater in Cambridge and thought it was an editing masterpiece. I didn’t know Karen then but I was just completely blown away by it. And then she had worked with Martha Swetzoff on a personal film called Theme Murder, and I knew that my film was very personal and it was hard for me to trust anyone who hadn’t edited a personal film, but I knew that that was another film that was long in the making and Karen came and kind of saved it and made it happen and made it beautiful. I hired her as a consultant—she was working then on Well-Founded Fear, an amazing immigration documentary. She would come up for a weekend or long weekend or sometimes a week, and we would just work all the time. I was amazed by how I would need to look at something 10, 20 times before I knew what it meant or what was the essence of it or what were the best moments in it. She would look at something once and be able to zero in on what about it worked. And she also just has an amazing sense of humor, but it comes out in the editing, I think it’s all over this film. There was one cut in this that I noticed, the scene where the robot specialized talks about how he was surprised that the robot works, and he says it three times. The obvious editing choice would be, we don’t need him to say it three times, we got the message, we could have him say it once, maybe twice. But instead it’s three times, and it’s magical and funny. Her editing choices—every single cut, the pacing—we saw Sergio recently on HBO—every single cut was perfect. All I can do is really extol her virtues.
STF: Lucia, Karen edited your film, My Father the Genius, which is a personal documentary about your father. Can you talk about that experience?
Lucia Small: We had a lot of joking in the edit room about it. In fact, after three weeks of working on it I said, my next movie is My Editor the Genius, or I Was Fired By Errol Morris. Karen was an amazing friend, so many of us in this audience knew her, maybe even worked with her. What I thought she brought to the edit room was a deep sense of humanity. I had seen other films—I had seen Mr. Death and I had seen Theme Murder, and when she agreed to work on my film, it was one of those moments where it was a dream come true. I thought, oh little old me, she’s been working with Errol. We worked in the most intense fashion, we worked for four months—two months on, nine months off, two months on, day and night. She just brought everything to the project. We would hear a song, she would go out, buy the song and bring it back the next day. What was so fascinating for me and such a gift was that she was such a true collaborator, and she had such a strong will, and such a strong sense. It was scary at times, I didn’t feel confident in her presence. But she also made me feel confidence, she built my confidence. I look at this film and I just see an incredible collaboration amongst her, Errol, Bob Richardson, the other editors that worked on it, Caleb Sampson—his music, there’s a story behind it. Karen knew Jane Gillooly who was married to a musician in the Alloy Orchestra, and Caleb was part of the Alloy Orchestra. She brought everything to all of the work that she did. The moment in the film when Dave Hoover says there’s going to be no one like [circus impresario] Clyde [Beatty], I feel that way about Karen.
STF: Robin, you are part of the Karen Schmeer Fellowship, can you talk about what that is?
Robin Hessman: Last year, Karen’s death was such a shock for everybody. We all came together and wanted to do something to keep the spirit of Karen going. She was an incredibly generous friend and an incredibly generous collaborator. She was also incredibly generous to people she barely knew, she would watch a lot of rough cuts, and would write notes. There have been so many stories filtering in over the past year of people whose lives she touched. Being an editor in documentary—they’re kind of the underappreciated unsung heroes who create so much. They’re often thrown hundreds and hundreds of hours of footage. And while there are some festivals that now have documentary editing awards they’re still few and far between, and there isn’t really anything out there like the screenwriting labs and the producing and directing opportunities. So a bunch of us came together and decided to create a fellowship that every year will give an emerging editor a menu of opportunities. We don’t have a lot of money, and American Cinema Editors has been really helpful to let us go under the umbrella of their non-profit status so people could give us tax deductible donations. We’ve reached out to the community to people who have donated opportunities, like going to South by Southwest or going to the ACE Edit Labs in LA or New York. The Manhattan Edit Workshop has donated a class and IFF Boston is giving us a pass, and ACE is going to help us match this emerging editor with a mentor. The idea is to help someone along the way, both with the creative part if they’re struggling with something they’re working on, but also with this larger idea of being a freelancer out there in the world, and how to grow and be part of a community. This is the first year, we’ve had about 100 applications. It’s been really an incredible opportunity to get these applications and hear about people’s careers all over the country. In the next week and a half we’ll announce the first fellow and hope that this is something that can continue for at least the next 10 years. It helps people know who Karen was and continue in her spirit of community and generosity.

CROCK POT HONEY SRIRACHA CHICKEN is a simple, tasty meal that is easily done in your slow cooker!
I love taking a protein like chicken and adding a great sauce and finding a delicious meal 6-8 hours later. Nothing can be easier and it always something my family enjoys. So many cuisines can be made in your slow cooker and we love an Asian influenced meal. The sriracha is balanced nicely with the honey and you can adjust the heat to your liking with adding more or less honey. The heat does mellow out with cooking so don’t make it too sweet. I found a nice balance in this recipe but you can play with it too.The chicken is tender but not falling in shreds and still holding its’ shape after 6 hours. For this dish, I think that is the longest you need to cook it for, 5 hours would be good too but make sure the chicken is completely cooked through.
Look at that rich colour you get from using the sriracha, such a lovely contrast to the stark white of the rice. You get lots of delicious sauce to go with the rice too. A quick little thickening at the end of the cooking gives you a perfectly tangy sweet sauce.
We added some quickly steamed Asian mixed veggies to this for a complete meal. So easy and quick with everyone in a hurry. The rice is made in a rice cooker, so all you have is cleanup. I adore simple meals like this but your family will think it is anything but simple. Just add a few green onions to garnish and your family will think that you got takeout!
Do you have Sriracha at the ready? We love using this condiment and it is part of our growing list of must haves. My husband is a huge fan of this spicy sauce and uses it on a regular basis for all his Asian meals. Get more recipe inspiration from my best crock pot recipes!
An easy Asian influenced tangy sweet Crock Pot chicken made with delicious honey sririacha.
Place all the ingredients except for the cornstarch and water into a slow cooker and stir well to mix and coat the chicken. Cook on low 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender and cooked through.
Whisk the cornstarch and water together and add to the sauce, stirring well. Cook on high for 15 min. until thickened. Serve over rice with green onions accompanied by fresh steamed vegetables.
Here is another great Crock Pot recipe from over at Noshing With The Nolands. A great summer recipe and so easy a kid could make it, Crock Pot Bacon Cheese Ranch Potatoes. Get your little chefs into the kitchen to help you create this recipe.
Calgary blogger Tara Noland has you covered! From great recipes to restaurant and cookbook reviews, you'll never go hungry reading Noshing with the Nolands.
This looks and sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I’d just like to thank you for making my life both easier and so, so much tastier. This is weeknight dinner perfection!

Barefoot or wearing minimalist footwear, life is better with less between you and the earth – but just ditching your boots straight away will lead only to long looks and injured feet. Follow these guidelines instead.
Barefoot living, as the argument goes, is the most natural way of moving around. Before the proliferation of cushioned shoes in the 20th century, humans walked this earth either barefoot or in minimally padded shoes; from hundreds of thousands of years ago on the African savannah to just over a hundred years ago in Bromley. Instead of improving affairs, modern shoes have resulted in little but weakened and injured feet, ankles and spines – so the argument goes.
It’s fairly convincing, in this writer’s opinion at least. Sure, shoes are a huge industry and, particularly when it comes to athletic performance, are the source of huge research and development efforts – clearly, they’re not without their merits. But that doesn’t compare to the millions of years of evolution that resulted in our feet (pretty much) as they are now. Most shoes are too narrow, distorting the foot’s natural shape and atrophying its muscles and tendons, and their cushioning disrupts natural movements that lead to a heavier, clumsier gait.
Ditching your shoes seems to be the obvious solution then, right? Well, not so fast. For a start, you’d raise eyebrows strolling into work au natural and, more importantly, simply kicking off your kicks will likely result in injury. As physiotherapist and founder of Physio & Therapy UK, Paul Hobrough, observes, most people these days have been wearing cushioned, narrow shoes since before they could walk. Your foot muscles and soft tissue aren’t prepared for the rigours of barefoot living.
Full or partial barefoot living is a route worth pursuing. It’ll strengthen those weakened muscles, revitalise nerve pathways in your feet’s soles and open the door to healthier, surer movement. But before you walk that path, there’s a few things you should know.
Learning to move barefoot or in minimalist footwear, like Skinners should be a gradual process, not a spontaneous, all-in decision. Stop wearing shoes while walking around the house and the garden for a start, then try your hand at yoga or pilates to start challenging your feet’s tendons and ligaments in less stable positions. If you’re keen on running, keep the distances short to begin with – a slow 800m is the most you should attempt at the start. Trying too much too soon will more than likely result in injury, calling time on your barefoot transition before it begins in earnest.
Nor do you have to be completely barefoot. Skinners offer a shoe-sock hybrid that’s perfect for everyday life, workouts and the outdoors, and brands like Vivobarefoot produce minimalist shoes fit for formal events and casual wear in the city. Footwear like this offers all the benefits of barefoot living without the accompanied chill and stigma that shadow the latter. We still recommend losing the shoes for a while when you’re outdoors, though – it’s a refreshing experience.
Yoga will help to strengthen your ankles; ‘toega’ is the remedy that your feet need. We are not joking. These movements from Vivobarefoot will test the strength and stability of the soft tissue in your feet, building foundations that will alleviate the risk of injury. Perform these while cooking, between sets at the gym or waiting for the kettle to boil at work; regular practise will yield the biggest results.
Minimal living is, in our opinion, something to aspire to, and removing a barrier between you and the earth is a pretty good place to start. Just make sure you’re prepped to receive maximum benefits.

Regardless of what you are buying today, the price is going up. It is all related. Higher gas prices mean higher food prices. Sometimes it seems food prices go up each week. Sometimes they do. The packages are getting smaller, but the prices keep going in the other direction. When was the last time a half gallon of ice cream was actually a half gallon of ice cream? Even when it seems hopeless, there are ways to help you eat cheap but still keep the quality and eat well.
First you need to plan ahead. Do not go to the store without a list and do not buy items that are not on your list. It is pretty simple in theory, but not always as easy when you are at the store especially if you have little ones screaming for extra items. If you do have children, let them help plan the list before you go. That way, they will feel they have had impact and when you select their item once at the store, they will be happy.
Make sure you only shop once a week. All the extra trips for that one item you need, and then come home with ten others that you did not need, add up. You have already made a list, see above, so you need to make sure everything on that list will last you for one week. If you have forgotten something, work around it. This alone will save you money. Let’s face it, all the extra you buy on those trips for one item tend to be junk you don’t need in the first place.
On the same vein, buy in bulk when possible. This is especially good if you have a family. While this may seem like it costs you more money at the checkout, it will save you money over time. This will save you even more if you time your purchases to when the store is having a sale on the item, stock up then.
You should only shop at one store. It can be tempting to run all over town to save five cents a pound on hamburger, but in the long run, it will cost you more money. Most stores do have sales on pretty much everything. They tend to go in cycles. Watch when items go on sale at your store, or ask the manager. He or she will be happy to tell you.
You also do not want to forget the no name, generic food. Most of the time, there is no difference between the generic and the brand name food items. Sure, the box might not be as pretty, but then you are not going to be eating the box.
Eating out is something everyone enjoys doing and should do for the pure pleasure of it, but do not use up your money on buying your lunch during the work week. Make a habit out of taking your lunch to work. It might not be fun, but it will save you plenty of money, so you and your loved one can go for a nice dinner out. You will certainly enjoy the meal more than the fast food you would have eaten for lunch. You waist line will thank you as well.
When you are planning on eating out, watch for specials. Even five star restaurants have specials from time to time. If it is your birthday or anniversary, let them know ahead of time and many will prepare a very nice and free desert for you.

I've written quite a bit about remote computing protocols over the past few months. In a world that's been dominated by RDP and ICA for a decade, it looks like a lot will be shaken up over the next 6-12 months.
And then there's hp, with their RGS (Remote Graphics Software) protocol. A lof people have traditionally thought (myself included in the early days) that RGS was an extension to RDP. It's not. RGS is a 100% independent protocol for remoting graphics. It works by leveraging the remote host's processing capabilities and essentially turning the entire remote desktop into a streamed video, and it handles remote video and audio with ease. A side-by-side comparison of watching a moive via RGS versus RDP shows RGS is the clear winner. And RGS has some advantages over the protocols that simply "redirect" multimedia (Citrix ICA, Wyse's TCX, or what Quest is planning with RDP) because the RGS solution doesn't require that the specific multimedia codecs match on the client and the server.
But apart from that, what can hp do with RGS? RGS looses value with every passing day as other vendors add features and functions to their protocols and start to meet or exceed what hp can do. But what would the point be for hp to invest more in RGS? It already does fine enough for remote guest console access to XenServers.
hp's RGS challenge is something I've been thinking about for awhile. I was specifically motivated to write this article based on a press release that came out while I was on vacation. It said, in a nutshell, that ClearCube spinoff VDIworks had licensed hp's RGS technology as the display protocol for VDIworks' new product. Maybe this is where RGS is destined to go? Maybe hp can license or OEM it to as many people as possible before some of these other protocols hit the street?
Of course if Red Hat does open source Spice (which is a personal fantasy of mine, not a rumor), then hp might as well just open source RGS, because its commercial value at that point would be essentially zero.
When do you think that Red Hat will release SPICE back into the world? Would they just open source the protocol or the whole virtual desktop package?
First I want to clarify again that this is a fantasy, not a rumor or even a prediction.
All I was saying is that since Red Hat seems most interested in Qumranet for the KVM thing, if they don't really care about Spice, then why not just let us have it?
I doubt this will actually happen though.
When we investigated RGS they were kind enough to tell us that in order to make use of the RGS software you needed to run the receiver component on HP hardware only. Â This makes it an immediate no go in our environment. Â We are not an HP shop now and no one was interested in purchasing a second vendor's hardware simply for this purpose.
The problem with SPICE/RGS and the likes are they fall over completely when used in a WAN or even semi-hostile network. Have you seen RGS on even a 10 Mbit network? Screen goes red with a big X.
Just because a technology is released to Open Source does not make a competing technologies value nearly zero. The opposite can occur, it can bolster the value. Brian, you should really look at Open Source more closely.
That's not actually true. RGS can function very well on a 10Mbit link. The codec is actually very network-frugal for a "screen-scraper". The Red X is displayed if the ping time exceeds a preset (and adjustable) duration, due to network congestion. This was actually an added feature so that people that relied on having up-to-date screen contents (e.g., Financial Traders) would be alterted if there is a network failure.
Can it function in a WAN link? DSL speeds? How does it do with let's say about 50 ms latency? Higher?
I concur. It was somewhat amusing to me to see this year's trend at BriForum to be "faster protocols," only to find out that they are only faster if you can live with fatter. If they aren't WAN friendly the work places I am in won't be that interested.
Since Brian plugged our RDP enhancements, I thought I'd post a link to a video demonstrating our RDP Graphics Acceleration that will be on display next week at VMworld. This absolutely works over low bandwidth connections, as the only connection I have to the Internet is my Verizon Wireless card. I used NetLimiter Pro to further restrict my available bandwidth to 128kbps and 56kbps for testing.
Sharin - thanks for the update. I can once again attempt to contact HP although in our region they've been less than helpful in regards to sales and demonstrations. Of course I'm still not keen on the "case by case" basis, but it's better than a "no case" basis.
It has been tested in scenarios with significantly greater than 100ms latency and those customers have generally found performance to be very acceptable. As with all things, though, it depends on exactly what the user is doing/expects and what the latency looks like vs time (i.e., std deviation around the mean latency).
On the Bandwidth end of things, I know quite a few people at HP that use it from home (via DSL) to connect in to their work computer. Works great for them / their workload.
I assure you RGS has its own set of limitations. Enterprise customers who have tried it from home concur it's just as bad as standard RDP.
I'm actually impressed by Patrick Rouse's video demonstration. Is this for real?
I assure you that it is real, as it I have several customers using it, one that is planning their deployment 30,000 virtual desktops across 110 sites. We will be demonstrating it live for customers at VMworld the day after tomorrow.
The RGs proocol is the Most robust beucause it has limitted functulationing and focues os specific end use cases "open GL/Bitmap remoteing. ICA and Provision Networks in my have not been challended by this. It is not the only solution and they sertainatly dont sell it that way. Frankly I have been in the lab, using XP Pro where ICA was equal to the personfance of RGS, I a have not gotten to see Provisions inhancements in the same light. To me the end user experiance it the only that matters. Give me an alternatlive to CItrix ICA I and I will SIT THE HELL UP AND LISENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there is still some work for everyone to run these protocols over WANs.... at least that is my opinion.
The real value of RGS is when it is used on physical machines such as blade workstations. This gives the users the best performance. This is where RGS was designed to function, adding it to a virtual machine as the remoting protocol was an after thought.
Because Spice is crap. Any graduate student can hack a protocol, but it needs to stand the test of time and network conditions.
One thing that you need to keep in mind is that RGS is designed to optimize the user experience from the start but it can still work sweet up to 200 - 250 ms latency.
As far the bandwidth is concerned then this is where you need to remember that as with ICA and RDP the bandwidth consumed will be bursty by nature and at any particular time will be dependant on the amount of user interaction and other things like printing?
According to this blog posting http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/derekt Citrix is claiming to support graphics on the WAN with this new desktop technology. Has anyone tried it?
How did you get them to give up an unlocked RGS version.
I just spent about an hour on the phone with over 5 of the stupidest Tech Support and sales people on the planet.
ME: "I am trying to obtain a trial copy of some software"
HP: "Do you have serial number for computer?"
ME: "No, I don't have a problem with my ocmputer, I want to get an evaluation copy of HP Remote Graphics Software"
HP: "Let me transfer you"
SEE THE PATTERN..... I hate those guys.
Anyways, I am excited about HP RGS because it uses VirtualGL and TurboVNC solution and is the only windows based sender I can find. But they are definitely deep-sixing this product by forcing HP hardware for eve nthe evaluation/trial copy.
I saw that VDIworks offers it with their software, but not until version 1.2 and their free trial download is stuck on 1.0.4 !!!!!!
Anyone have any help here?
We wnat a software based solution that lets us remotely do 3D animation and HD video editing, so our heavy duty workstations, render farm, file server, etc. can all be at the same location but not necessarily our team.

Tonight I met a friend at Sweet Pepper (385 Boston Post Rd.) in Sudbury.
I’m not a big Thai food person but I love Pad Thai. Since there are no Thai places in Framingham, it’s been a while since I’ve had that dish, so when my friend asked me to meet here here I was more than happy to get my fix.
It’s kind of small inside but “cozy” and nicely decorated.
We started off splitting fresh garden rolls that had carrots, red and green lettuce, vermicelli noodles, chicken and shrimp. With the rolls, a sweet and slightly spicy peanut sauce was served on the side. They were light and tasty but no too filling.
We both got the tofu Pad Thai (so I only took one picture) This was really good although in the back of my mind I always compare Pad Thai with “Eriwan of Siam” in Waltham makes an incredible Pad Thai, it’s hard for others to compete with.
This did hit the spot though and I’m not aware of any Thai place closer than going to Waltham so I would probably go here again. Plus the service was friendly and well timed.
Another good local Thai restaurant is Morn’s in Wayland.
Big fan of Treetop in Waltham. Harder to find than Erawan’s, but better food for a better price.

Prague has moved to number four on the Travelers’ Choice awards of zoos and aquariums put out by travel website TripAdvisor.
It was number seven on the 2014 list, meaning it moved up three spots. The San Diego Zoo came in number on this year, also moving up one spot.
Prague Zoo this year was also ranked second in Europe, after Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain.
TripAdvisor bases its list on input for vacationers and travelers. The zoo list does not take into account the opinions of zoo professionals.
The zoos were ranked with an algorithm that evaluated “the quantity and quality of reviews for zoos and aquariums worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period,” according to TripAdvisor.
Prague Zoo opened in 1931 in the city’s Troja district next to the Vltava River. The zoo occupies 58 hectares and houses about 4,800 animals that represented more than 690 species, including 133 species listed as critically endangered.
It was largely rebuilt and modernized after the devastating floods in 2002, with several new pavilions opening since them. A new pavilion with Chinese giant salamanders, the world’s biggest amphibian, opened in the Prague Zoo in 2014 with the 155 cm-long male salamander Karlo as the main attraction. The salamanders are highly endangered.
A large new Elephant Valley pavilion opened in 2013. A new exhibition for fur seals with a larger swimming pool and a grandstand was opened in 2009. The largest and most expensive Czech animal pavilion, Indonesian Jungle, opened in 2004.
The zoo has also been involved in efforts to save Przewalski’s horse and is the biggest breeder of the species in the world. Recently it has sent several of these horses to be released in the wild in Mongolia.
The zoo, with 1.4 million visitors was the second-most visited tourist site in the Czech Republic in 2014 after Prague Castle. Forbes Traveler Magazine in 2007 listed Prague Zoo as the seventh-best in the world.

Power plant jobs, such as distributors and dispatchers are offer excellent opportunities for veterans. They both provide opportunity to work as team members in a challenging, results oriented job environment. They control the systems that generate and distribute electric power.
Here’s some background on power plant jobs.
Power plant operators control, operate, and maintain machinery to generate electricity. They use control boards to distribute power among generators and regulate the output of several generators. They also monitor instruments to maintain voltage and electricity flows from the plant to meet fluctuating consumer demand throughout the day.
Distributors and dispatchers, also known as systems operators, control the flow of electricity as it travels from generating stations to substations and users. In exercising such control, they monitor and operate current converters, voltage transformers, and circuit breakers over a network of transmission and distribution lines. They prepare and issue switching orders to route electrical currents around areas that need maintenance or repair.
They also detect and respond to emergencies, such as transformer or transmission line failures, which can cause cascading power outages over the network. They may also troubleshoot electricity generation issues with operators.
While these careers offer secure employment and competitive pay there are some aspects of the job that are demanding. Shift work is typically required, meaning that at some point you are likely to work nights and weekends. You will also be working in a power plant or substation operating and inspecting complex systems. As a result, workers spend a significant amount of time training and obtaining certifications. And some people may not be interested in working with something as sensitive and important as power generation.
The work environment is stable but not growing. Because of technological advancements, the number of operators, distributors, and dispatchers is not expected to grow in the future.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there were 54,700 people working in these jobs in 2016 and their largest category of employer by far is private utilities who employ 72% of these workers. These jobs are typically full time. The median wage for distributors was $82,510 and the median wage for operators was $77,180.
Additionally, nuclear power plant operators made a median wage of $93,370. While the training and certification requirements are rigorous and the number of nuclear power jobs is not growing, this career can provide excellent pay if you are qualified. Nuclear reactor operators run nuclear power plants and adjust control rods, which affect how much electricity a reactor generates. They monitor reactors, turbines, generators, and cooling systems, adjusting controls as necessary.
Operators start and stop equipment and record the data produced. They also respond to abnormalities, determine the causes, and take corrective action. For comparison, the median wage of all occupations in May, 2017 was $37,690. A competent worker in the middle of his or her career could earn twice the median American’s wage in these jobs and the top ten percent of earners earned more than $108,240.
The general skills required of problem solving, attention to detail, and concentration are also skills that are possessed by successful leaders in the military.
Power plant jobs also require security minded people since power plants are sensitive locations. The entry requirements are also easily achieved for veterans. It will require a high school diploma and the ability to pass drug and alcohol screenings. These jobs also require problem sensitivity. It requires the operators to understand what a problem looks like and when something is going wrong.
If you are a veteran who is good with technical and mechanical processes, a career as a power plant operator, distributor, or dispatcher may be right for you. These jobs offer excellent earning potential and stable employment. While the training and certification requirements can be challenging, they are also important to the safety of everyone involved.
Power plant jobs are also valuable and important to the general public. The work environments are dynamic and will force the operators to use a wide variety of skills. Lastly, when considering a future career, veterans should decide what they value most in a job including hours, pay, and work environment to name just three, and find what fits.
Power plant jobs are an extremely part of America. Power plant workers help generate the electricity that keeps our lights on. Learn more about power plant jobs for veterans.

The “hotspot approach” launched by the European Union in May 2015, and then implemented in September of the same year, is characterized less by peculiar infrastructures than by a series of procedures and mechanisms for identifying and selecting migrants (Garelli and Tazzioli, 2016; Kasparek, 2016; Sciurba 2016). The hotspot model—conceived as a series of more variegated and arbitrary measures for fingerprinting, illegalizing, and dividing migrants, rather than standardized procedures—has multiplied across spaces well beyond the physical barriers of those detention centers that have been renamed “hotspots.” The multiplication of the hotspot system is an extraordinary phenomenon in Greece, with a repentine mushrooming of refugee camps since the closure of the Macedonian border in early March 2016 and the eviction of Eidomeni camp in May. These recently established refugee camps work as sorting places, where migrants are identified and partitioned between those considered eligible for relocation and the others who can only apply for asylum in Greece.
A far less visible but determinant feature of the hotspot approach is the accelerated temporality of control, and I contend that this underpins its functioning and structures it in depth. Beyond the materialities of the infrastructures and the daily logistics of migration management, I take here the analytical angle of the temporality of control that is at stake in the official and unofficial hotspots, as well the temporal borders that set the pace of the exclusionary channels of the asylum. More precisely, the accelerated temporality of control is not simply one aspect that can be observed in the daily functioning of the hotspots but, rather, one of the main mechanisms that shape in a distinctive way the hotspot-machine. The EU’s “border strategy” combines the swift pace of control with temporal borders as techniques for further narrowing and hampering the access to the asylum system to discipline and respond to practices of migration that could not be regulated through spatial containment. The islands of Lampedusa and Lesbos are privileged sites for grasping the bordering of temporalities, the practices of control and regulation exercised on singular migrants and on migrant multiplicities through the enactment of specific rhythms of governmentality. Through such an expression I refer both to the disciplining of mobility through dates and “deadlines” that determine migrants’ protection and eligibility for relocation, and to mechanisms of partition, selection and identification that change over time, in a quite rapid and unpredictable way.
An accelerated temporality of control ?
Lesbos, April 20, 2016. The decision to date the events we talk about in the field of migration governmentality is not a trifling detail: the spatial and political transformations that have occurred in the last three years in the strategies of capture, control and containment of migration movements have followed an unprecedented hectic pace. The island of Lesbos is not an exception on this point. The frantic and convoluted rhythm changes in mechanisms of govermentality has reached its peak there soon after the implementation of the EU-Turkey agreement, signed on March 18, 2016. One month later, sitting outside the fences of the hotspot of Moria, I was observing 230 Pakistani migrants entering the hotspot. After the eviction of the informal camp, called “NoBorder Kitchen” near the city of Mitylene, where they stayed for three months refusing to be fingerprinted and registered in the hotspot of Moria, those migrants have been transferred by force there and detained. In the span of few hours, some of them have been labelled as deportable migrants and have been isolated in the inner area of the hotspot. The others have been allowed to claim asylum in Greece.
Due to the clause contained in the EU-Turkey agreement that considers Turkey a “safe third country,” many migrants who landed on the Greek islands after March 18 have been preemptively excluded from the asylum process and have been placed in the channels of deportation (to Turkey). March 18 can be considered as a watershed in the Greek hotspot-machine, and Lesvos in particular, as stressed by Doctors without Borders: “everything changed in the span of few hours, from March 18 to March 19, when the gate of Moria was suddenly closed, and the migrants who were inside or who arrived after March 19, remained detained there and were not allowed to take the ferry and go to Athens” (Doctors Without Borders Interview, April 21, 216). Indeed, since March 19 all the migrants who arrive on Greek islands are detained until a decision is not taken about their legal status. Currently, migrants in Lesbos are either considered deportable migrants or if they apply for the international protection, “asylum seekers,” in which case they are further divided between the nationalities eligible for relocation and the others who do not.
This accelerated temporality of control did not start in March 2016 but the EU-Turkey watershed produced considerable changes in the modalities and procedures for identifying and selecting the migrants according to new exclusionary criteria, as illustrated above. What changed after March 18, 2016, was not the speed of the politics of control but its modulations and the impact on the migrants. The accelerated pace in the procedures for marking, labelling, and dividing the migrants started already in summer 2015, with the massive arrivals in Lesbos, and more radically with the implementation of the hotspot system in September 2015; however, it affected and touched upon migrants differently. Until the end of 2015, rescued migrants were taken to the hotspot of Moria to register, and the registration was the necessary condition for getting the authorization to leave Lesbos by ferry and continue their journeys to Macedonia and along the Balkan route, with a temporary permit of one month (all nationalities) or six months (Syrians only) to circulate in Greece. The registration process in Lesbos lasted on average no more than one or two days.
Lampedusa, February 2016. The temporality of control in Italy has been less subjected to frantic alteration than in Greece, at least at the level of the effects produced on migrants’ lives. The logistic of the hotspot in Italy has been structured around a quite centralized mechanism for channeling migrants and transferring them from the places of first arrival in the South of Italy to hosting centers across the country. Nevertheless, even in Italy the pace of migration controls is formed by criteria of selection that are not constant in time, following desultory changes in the practices of government. On the island of Lampedusa the rapid decisions taken by the police about whether or not a migrant should be let to claim asylum or not, gave rise to a huge number of illegalized migrants on the Italian territory. The detention center of Contrada Imbriacola in Lampedusa was the first in Italy to be renamed a “hotspot,” in September 2015—after that, Trapani became a hotspot in December, Pozzallo in January 2016, and Taranto in March.
For about four months (November 2015-March 2016) migrants who landed in Lampedusa were subjected to a mechanism of preventive illegalization and hampered from the possibility to claim asylum. Upon disembarkation, migrants in Lampedusa are taken from the harbor to the hotspot where they are quickly identified in the span of few hours by the Italian Scientific Police, while Frontex and EASO officers control Italian authorities, checking that these latter fingerprint all migrants and transfer them to EURODAC database. The hotspot procedures rapidly identified migrants who were eligible for relocation (Syrians, Eritreans, Iraqis), and approved their asylum applications. The majority of migrant nationals from West African countries—among which Nigerians and Gambians, who in early 2016 were the first two nationalities of migrants arriving in Italy—and all migrants from “North Africa” have been illegalized “on the spot” (Garelli and Tazzioli, 2016). The non-juridical label of “economic migrant” was used for denying them the access to the asylum procedure. These preemptively illegalized migrants were given a decree of expulsion that obliged them to leave Italy with their own means in seven days. Yet, most of them remained in Italy as illegalized migrants, except those migrants nationals from Nigeria, Egypt, and Tunisia that can be quickly deported due to the repatriation agreements between Italy and these countries.
In this regard, it is important to highlight that Italy has been put under pressure by the EU concerning the obligation to fingerprint migrants. In this way, the preventive exclusion from the channels of the asylum can be seen as Italy’s strategy for not paying the cost of humanitarian assistance. In short, in a time of economic crisis, the cost of the asylum system has been reduced to the minimum, keeping out most of the migrants from humanitarian support, producing them as irregular migrants on the territory. Therefore, the accelerated temporality of control was functional to narrow the space of protection as much as possible and to temporally anticipate the threshold of deportability. That is to say, instead of waiting up to one year or more for the result of the asylum procedure, and in the meanwhile granting rights to asylum seekers, Italian authorities illegalized on the spot many migrants transforming them into irregular and thus potentially deportable subjects.
But which specific form of control is at play? And where does this accelerated temporality apply? As suggested by the main title of this intervention (identify, label, and divide), the strategy of control deployed by the hotspot-logistics, and that reverberates well beyond reception centers, does not exercise a constant monitoring of migrant conducts over time. Rather, what matters is that fast partitions are made among migrant multiplicities and that everybody is registered and his/her digital traces are stored in EURODAC, in order to mark his/her first entry in Italy.
Related to this, the accelerated temporality of control actually concerns the first stage of migration management upon disembarkation. On this point, it is worth recalling the argument pushed forward by Dimitris Papadopolous, Niamh Stephenson, and Vassilis Tisanos in the book Escape Routes through the notion of “decelerated circulation of mobility,” contending that “camps appear as the spaces which most drastically attempt to regulate the speed of this circulation and to decelerate it” (Papadopoulos, Stephenson, and Tsianos, 2008: 198). Coming back the political context of the hotspot system, such an analysis is helpful for clarifying that the accelerated temporality of migration governmentality concerns the rapid procedure undertaken by national authorities for deciding upon migrants’ status and for dividing them. Instead, by looking at the hotspot system from the point of view of its impact on migrants’ lives and on their journeys, we see that it works as a spatial capture practice that slows down migrants’ speed, a machine of illegalization of many people in seek of asylum. The temporality of control is a strategy of government through and over time.
However, the hotspot-logistics—formed by the material infrastructures of the hotspot, by the identification procedures and the mechanisms for channeling migrants—not only obstruct and decelerate migration movements at the same time that they speed up identification and selection procedures; the Italian context also sheds light on the obstructed and slow pace of the institutional channels where migrants allowed to claim asylum. In fact, while according to Italian directives, migrants should stay in the hotspot no more than 72 hours, people remain in Lampedusa on average two weeks, and some of them up to four months. This is first of all because the transfer to hosting centers situated on the mainland can take time given the limited number of places available.
Yet, in many cases the extended permanence inside the hotspot of Lampedusa was the consequence of collective or individual forms of refusal with vengeance on the part of migrants, who opposed to the obligation to be identified and give their fingerprints. December 17, 2015; January 6-7, 2016; May 8-16, 2016: these are the most salient temporal landmarks of collective migrant refusals that took place in Lampedusa in the form of public protests and sit-ins, not to mention the individual and silent resistances that are not captured by the spotlights of the media and that remained fundamentally unknown and invisible. These collective refusals jammed for some time the hotspot logistics, since the police detained them indefinitely in Lampedusa due to their resistance to be fingerprinted.
It cannot pass unnoticed that in the Explanatory note on the “Hotspot” approach, the European Commission the accelerated temporality concerns the possibility “to intervene, rapidly and in an integrated manner, in frontline Member States when there is a crisis due to specific and disproportionate migratory pressure at their external borders.” Similarly, in The European Agenda on Migration, which is the text through which the EU launched the “hotspot approach,” the speed required in the hotspot does not concern the time needed for finding a solution and a protected space for people seeking asylum but, rather, the capacity to “swiftly identify, register, and fingerprint incoming migrants.” Thus, more than transit points, the hotspots appear as spatial and temporal “chokepoints,” that is as sites of mobility disruption. Mobilizing Debora Cowen’s seminal work on logistics and readapting it to the hotspot context, I suggest that migration management necessitates spatial and temporal chokepoints to slow down and select migrant movements, and its main fear is that these crucial sites could be jammed and unsettled in their functioning (Cowen, 2014).
When spatial containment does not hold. The temporal borders’ cut.
As I illustrated above, nationality certainly represents the main criterion used both in Greece and in Italy for establishing exclusionary partitions among migrant multiplicities. Yet, particularly in the Greek context, at some point nationality has become not enough as a parameter for keeping out migrants from the channels of the asylum and of relocation. March 18, 2016 is only the first threshold introduced by Greek authorities with the support of EASO for restricting the number of eligible candidates to the asylum. Moreover, while the date of the signature of the EU-Turkey agreement produced a split temporality, formed by a “before” and an “after,” migrants’ eligibility for the relocation and for the pre-registration procedure have been subjected to proper temporal borders; namely, temporal borders are enacted in this case as time intervals into which migrants fit.
The government of asylum seekers who entered Greece in the last year and half pivots around a dense calendar of dates that establishes, on the basis of the day of arrival of the migrant in the country and on other related events, who is not allowed to access the relocation procedure. The relocation scheme is in place only for those who entered Greece before March 20, 2016; Iraqis who have been registered after July 1, will be excluded from the relocation; the pre-registration procedure is applicable only for those who arrived between January 1, 2015, and March 20, 2016. These are some of the time-intervals, that migrants must be lucky to match in order to be “potentially successful candidates” for being allocated in some place in Europe and not being illegalized. When strategies of spatial containment and the criterion of nationality are not enough for disciplining mobility and narrowing the access to protection, states introduce temporal borders that vertically cut across the sites where migrants are identified and registered, producing a further hierarchization of “legitimate” mobilities. In other words, instead of working as thresholds for granting non-negotiable rights to people fleeing wars, temporal borders multiply and increase restrictions both to migrants’ presence in Europe and to migrants’ access to asylum.
Temporal borders have been mobilized by states as a strategy of spatial containment and scattering functioning through the channeling and slowing down of migrants’ movements. In this sense, the temporality of control represents a fundamental analytical angle for grasping the disciplining of unruly mobility.
 Lesvos, Kos, Chios, Samos, and Leros in Greece; Lampedusa, Pozzallo, Taranto, and Trapani in Italy.
 Since the hotspot is a restricted access reception center, this could be reconstructed only from the direct testimonies of the migrants who left and have been transferred to Sicily, or those who during the day used to go out from the hotspot of Lampedusa. In fact, in order to prevent possible turmoil inside the hotspot, the Italian police de facto unofficially allowed migrants going out during the day passing through a hole in the fences that migrants themselves made.

Meet my new Sous Chef, Christmas present and 22 pounds of darling love – Jake!
What do you think? Isn’t he just adorable? He’s my Christmas present and 22.5 pounds of needle-sharp puppy teeth just looking for stray recipe cards to happily shred to bits. I have NEVER said the word “poop” more often in my life! And what’s worse, I’m doing it at 3:00 am in the morning. In sub-zero temperatures. In the front yard. At the top of my voice (so as to be ignored over the howling wind). POOP DARN IT JAKE, POOP.
Here’s the most recent pic of him.
Notice that wet spot on my brand-new carpet over Jake’s shoulder? That’s AFTER the mess has been cleaned up.
Being a labrador, Jake really LOVES water. He is especially fond of the jacuzzi. Filled or not, occupied or not. I thought you might like to see just what we’re dealing with. Enjoy. And stay tuned. I have a lot of great recipes coming up, including a wonderfully flavorful Tortilla Soup and Tiramisu for a Crowd (or just you).
And stay tuned. I have a lot of great recipes coming up, including a wonderfully flavorful Tortilla Soup and Tiramisu for a Crowd (or just for you!).
You’ll be using two large (13 x 20 x 3) aluminum roasting pans for each batch to serve 50. Here’s what they look like in one of the pans fresh from the oven.
You can also make these for a smaller crowd (like your family) on a sheet pan just as easily like I’ve done below. They are FANTASTIC. (Disclosure: I really love, love potatoes, so I’m not even remotely a fair judge. But rumor has it, these are very good.) The Family-sized recipe follows the Potatoes for 50 recipe.
I first made this recipe for the 150 person cast and crew of our church’s production of Savior of the World. Three of us each made one batch (one batch uses two aluminum roasting pans) to serve 50. That means for 150 servings we had 6 large (20 x 13 x 2) disposable aluminum pans full of potatoes. You can use a different size pan as long as you don’t use a deeper pan which will increase the cooking time. If you are making more than 2 pans in one oven it will also increase the cooking time by about 15 – 20 minutes.
Multiple members of the cast and crew came back for seconds on the potatoes and when we were done there were none left.
The seasonings make the potatoes!
for each pan of potatoes. Don’t worry, that’s not too much.
You can certainly use white or yellow onions if sweet are not available. Often white or yellow onions are smaller than the sweet onions, so I’d pick up 3-4 more if you’re using white or yellow.
Chop unpeeled potatoes and onions into large (1 inch sized) pieces.
Divide chopped potatoes and onions between 2 large aluminum roasting pans. Pour 1/4 cup oil over each pan of vegetables. Toss the vegetables to coat them with the oil.
Sprinkle each pan of potatoes with 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 tablespoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss again to distribute seasonings. Roast at 350 degrees for an hour. Stir the vegetables two or three times during the hour. The vegetables are done when an inserted fork meets with no resistance.
Can be made up to 2 days in advance, covered, and refrigerated. When ready to serve: reheat, UNCOVERED, in a roaster oven on high until hot (about 15 - 30 minutes), stirring several times - - - then REDUCE HEAT to low to hold for up to 2 hours.
Place a rimmed sheet pan in the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a large bowl. Peel and chop the onions in large pieces and add to the potatoes.
Add the oil to the bowl with the potatoes and onions and toss until the vegetables are well coated. Evenly sprinkle with the salt, pepper and rosemary and toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Carefully pour the vegetables onto the sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. At 15 minutes and again at 30 minutes, stir with a spatula to change sides of vegetables in contact with hot pan.
Roast in the oven 45 minutes to 1 hour or until potatoes are fork tender, brown and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oven, season with salt to taste and serve hot.
Here’s some additional large group potato recipes.
And everything you need for a successful Potato Bar.
Another great choice is my family Potato Salad recipe. It’s wonderful!
