Exzactly. I have a set of stainless steel bowls with snap-on lids, some quite small... however I rarely prep ingredients in advance, instead I prep as I place ingredients into the pot/bowl. Sometimes I'll measure out ingredients onto a piece of paper, saves clean up... however I rarely measure other than via eyeball. |

The OP wanted to know what they're called. I completely understand if a dish calls for a lot of ingredients the desire to measure (okay, guestimate) a Tbs of this and a tsp of that and put it in ramekins. That way you know you have everything ready and on hand. And if you suddenly discover you don't, oh dear, need to run to the store or find a substitute. Jill |

Just sit down one time, pay the bills and what is > left over is yours. I have been paid weekly, biweekly then, for many years, semi monthly. My wife was a teacher she was paid once a month. Around here teachers are paid an annual salary, but it is based on the number of teaching days, so if they are off more days than their sick pay allows, or if they take unpaid leave, they loose a a significant about. When we were first married they good a big cheque at the end of the school year and then a another big on in September, so they had to budget that big June pay for three months. Later on they changed to equal pay for all 12 months. I had an issue with overtime. They only paid it once ever few months. When the OT pay finally came through you would get a huge gross pay, but then they would withhold income tax as if that was your regular pay, so you could kiss half of it goodbye until income tax time when you would be likely to get a big refund. |

I went in to look for more detail about the study the NPR piece mentions. I have not gone into deep dive of the stats themselves, but can only see several articles that reference it, including the study itself: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/07/16/1903856116 Please keep in mind that the study was limited to 2015, and did not have direct access to police records, but used a combination of data gathering techniques- calling police department and used data gathered by two media outlets, The Guardian and the Washington Post. I do not have any deeper info to endorse or quibble with these data collection techniques,nor the choice to use 2015 as the data focus, though I, myself, am a tad surprised at using self-reported data from police without outside verifications. Still, these numbers could be spot on. The reason I raise any question is that most states have laws that prohibit the release of details of the officers involved in disciplinary investigations. Now, you might say that such disciplinary investigations incorporate all police related shootings and death of civilians (example- Eric Garner was not shot, nor was George Floyd), but we all know that many of these incidents do not go into such investigations at all. https://project.wnyc.org/disciplinary-records/ Twenty-three states prohibit officer data from being released to the public. Further, another fifteen limit data released. Such information is key to understanding these shootings or deaths. It is not just police shootings that cause civilian deaths, but interactions from initial contact onward. So, my advice is that we should all be careful with using limited and specific stats to prove or disprove a larger, more general situation. |

I think we can all > agree slavery was a horrific thing. Actually, it was Africans who were the world leaders in the slave trade. They waged war on their neighbours to capture people to be sold into slavery. The Portuguese were the biggest transporters of slaves to the Americas. While Britain did not ban slavery at home and it its colonies until 1833 they had banned the slave trade more than 20 years earlier. Slavery was indeed a horrific thing. It has been practiced around the world for years. It is still happening. When my son was living in Africa about 20 years ago he had a friend from Sudan whose parents had slaves. |

Not wanting to be left out of the protest fever, there are were protests in Toronto in solidarity with the Americans protested George Floyd, and are also all worked up over the death of a black woman in Toronto. The distressed mother of the dead woman accused the police of having pushed her over the balcony. The woman was out out in the hallway and had no way to see what happened but she believe they had pushed here. What happened was that woman was in distress. There had been three 911 calls about her and two of them reported a knife. The woman jumped off the balcony. She had been acting crazy enough that here own family had called the police. Now they are upset because the police were not able to deal calm her down before she took her own life. |

Now I wonder why you really retired early! Wow.Another cheap shot by the old crone to discredit me. Retirement was my choice. The government wanted to downsize. They wanted to reduce staff and to contract out some of its operations. Thanks to job security clauses in our contract it was not easy for them to just lay everyone off, so they reduced the qualifying time for retirement with full pension. I opted to retire. > Cushy retirement, eh, especially from a guy who repeatedly whines > (often with racist overtones) about peeps getting social safety net > assistance here in the US. I have stated repeatedly that it is important to have a social safety net. I do object to a system which involves multiple generations of welfare families. It should be there to help them get back on their feet, not as a career. > Then again....maybe *they* retired him... Nope. You are wrong again. |

If my landscaper is thirsty he won't come inside because he's been tramping around in the yard and his shoes are dirty. He'd be more than welcome to take his shoes off and come in for some water. Then again, he has a truck with a big Coleman jug of ice water because he's in the business of landscaping and knows it's hot outside and he'll get thirsty. > and are nice to "those people."

I can't believe you're painting everyone with the same brush as dsi1. Not to say there isn't racism, of course. Racism was rampant in Memphis. (No need to bring up Dr. King). Years later, and I've mentioned this before. In the early 1980's a co-worker friend and I went to lunch together. She was black. She wanted to go to Target to buy an alarm clock. Target had a lunch counter. After she bought her alarm clock we went to have a bite to eat before going back to the office. The black woman behind the counter took Clarisse's order. Then she pointedly ignored me. Clarisse noticed and asked me, "Does this happen often?" Unfortunately, yes. She spoke up, "Aren't you going to take my SISTER's order?" The black woman started sputtering, oh, uh, I didn't know, uh, may I take your order? Yeah, we could have had different fathers or mothers. The lunch counter woman had no idea. Clarisse, bless her, couldn't believe there was such blantant reverse racism. That was not the only time I encountered it in Memphis, either. In the 1990's I lived near a convenience store that had fryers and steam tables and they served breakfast and lunch, mostly to go. I'd stop there on my way to work to get biscuits & gravy. Yum! Occasionally some fried chicken with potato logs (oh boy, battered quartered baking potatoes deep fried) and some green beans to go with it. One of the black women (Verniece) was very nice to me. The other woman (her name tag said Miss Pinky) acted like she'd just as soon spit on me than serve me. One Saturday afternoon I brought Verniece a container of homemade red beans & rice with andouille sausage. I said I figured she might like something to eat other than what they cooked every day for lunch. She loved it! I went back a few days later and Verneice said, "Miss Pinky kept asking me what that was I was eating. I gave her a taste and she said 'Dis shit is GOOD!'" (Miss) Pinky was nice as pie to me after that. I don't have any idea why she automatically assumed I was an evil white woman. I don't encounter that sort of prejudice way down here in 'da South South Carolina. People of any color don't act as if the Civil War is still going on. Jill |
| Sheldon Martin <penmart01@aol.com>: May 31 11:18AM -0400 >>because some idiot got himself killed in a tussle with the polices. >I can't believe you don't understand what I'm saying. And then you >call me stupid :) It's you who are not comprehending... even taking into account the ratio of blacks to whites blacks place themselves into predicaments more frequently. Even at traffic stops blacks are three times more likely to become beligerant, even with a black cop... blacks feel they are stopped because they are black, even on a dark night, when all the cop could see is that the car shot through a stop sign. Working at a national laboratory I worked with many minority races and people of every ethnicity. In any conflict they always feel targeted because of their race, nationality, accent, religion, etc... and these are highly educated scientists, most with Phds. These are people who wake up each morning with a big chip on their shoulder... and naturally the more highly educated the more they feel superior in all ways. I've been stopped for speeding several times over the years, I learned a long time ago that the best way to behave is to keep my lip zipped, keep my hands on the wheel in plain sight and to make no sudden moves such as opening the door unless told to. I knew I was doing 72 in a 65 zone but by behaving in a respectful manner I stood a much better chance of being told to watch my speed and get no ticket. |

They will go a long way to participate in a riot. They will dress up in black, wear scares and goggles to hide their indentity and go and and create havoc. I doubt that they really care that much about the protest, and their actions do more to undermine the real protest. |
