Everyone and their congressmen has an opinion on Syria. Even not having an opinion is an opinion.
I don't know what the right thing to do is. I don't believe "punishing" Assad is going to fix anything. I think punishment without behavior modification is no real solution. I don't think that America can do anything ace-in-the-whole-right here.
Bother.
It's all too heavy and I just want to take a Syrian family in and make them chicken salad sandwiches and help them rock their little refugee babies to sleep. They need all of it but how could one eat or sleep after seeing what they've seen.
Bother.
And I wanted to give to the Red Cross if they had a "Give to Syria" button because they are adept at giving aid in hard places and not affiliating with a church/religion. We need a lot less religion in this story. God, fine. Faith, sure. Love, definitely. But not big-R-Religion.
Alas World Vision had the only way I found (leave a comment if you know of another) to give directly to the refuges in Lebanon. Food, shelter, some joy for the kids. Ok, ok, World Vision. I'll give to you. Even if you are connected to the Church.
I guess that's what the Church was always supposed to be. The Red Cross of free sandwiches and joy for children and whatnot. Too bad it's not always/usually and too bad Religion is such a heartache.
Bother.
Here's your $100, WV.
UPDATE:
I found this organization too. They have an excellent Charity Navigator rating and appear to have clear goals for refugees.

John Piper's Rain Dance Elicits Tornado
After one light post let's go right back down into the pit, shall we?
I was thinking lately about how much I blog about the news. I really enjoy being current on world events and think, possibly self righteously, that everyone needs to have a wide, educated world view. It may keep us from WWIII or get us to start recycling. Who knows.
So when the tornadoes hit Oklahoma this week, I thought, "Should I blog this?"
I usually blog on things in the news that have an angle. Two sides. A stance I can take.
Aside from launching into global warming and the need for us to care for the planet, I didn't see how I could take a side that wasn't implicit. Of course these tornadoes are terrible. Of course we are sadden by all of the loss. I'm not trivializing it; I'm saying I thought that reaction was universal.
After a long lunch in the sun with a particularly progressive, politically minded, and religiously skeptic friend (who went to school in OK and has friends there that were affected), I read this post and was immediately thrown into head-nodding agreement and heart-pounding disgust.

"Then, before I could stop it, an awful thought popped into my mind: “Oh no. How long will it take John Piper to get on the radio, TV, his blog, or Twitter to explain to the world that this was God’s judgment on sin and tell the parents who lost children in this tornado that they got exactly what they deserved?
"Because this is what John Piper does whenever there is a tornado…or earthquake…or shooting…or war. While the world is still in shock, while we struggle to find the words to convey our grief and compassion and to weep with those who weep, he jumps in with an explanation, and it’s always the same: Bad things happen because God is angry. This is God’ judgment on undeserving, sinful people. Repent. We brought this on ourselves.
"That’s because Piper and many in the fundamentalist neo-Reformed movement are working off of a perversion of the doctrine of total depravity that not only teaches that human beings are depraved—that is, that our humanity is marred by sin—but that this depravity renders the world’s men, women, and children into valueless objects of god’s wrath, worthy of nothing more than eternal torture, pain, violence, and abuse."
If you're interested, read the whole post. Or to skip it. It'll really only make you mad at some sad man mongering "just desserts" on Twitter.
And if you need to get out of the downward hate-spiral, be sure to read the end of Rachel's post:
"God is patient and kind. God does not envy, God does not boast, God is not proud. God does not dishonor, God is not self-seeking, God is not easily angered. God keeps no record of wrong. God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. God never fails."

Online Shopping Supports My Decision to Not Become a Parent
Searching for a gift for my niece's first birthday (Happy Birthday on the 23rd!), I narrowed my choices down to 3 and let the reviews do the choosing. Among other notes (usefulness, educational level and if it will be gender neutral to share with her brother), these negative reviews steered me toward an easy winner.
Bwahhahahah! My sister should thank me for avoiding the riotous, seizure-inducing, mouthful toys.
"Awful! Loud, chaotic, no real educational value, and worst of all not [the toy it advertised]."
"... a riot of crazy beeps, chimes, and voices goes off. We had it on the quiet setting and even so, it drove us crazy just testing it."
"...it just brings on another seizure-inducing round of flashes and shrill noises."
"... I am reluctant to let her play with it because she can fit the entire circle shapes (cookie and orange) completely into her mouth."
Bwahhahahah! My sister should thank me for avoiding the riotous, seizure-inducing, mouthful toys.
For the baby who has everything? A smartphone with 4-G, Fisher Price technology.
I'm seriously considering writing a check for her college fund. It's the ultimate educational gift and she can share with her brother, should he grow up to be a deadbeat.

Salespeople of the World, Stop Following Me Around Bed Bath and Beyond
Overall, I don't jive with people in sales. Some of my good friends have sales jobs and other good friends have the knack for sales. And I love these people. I just don't like whatever gene makes someone sales-y.
Allow me to explain.
Last night I got up the courage to go to dinner with friends. Anymore I find myself forcing it to just go out in public. I'm just going through a hermit phase/lifetime.
I knew that this dinner with friends was at a healthy restaurant and that there would be a little presentation about how some of the girls in attendance were doing a healthy cleanse with a few key products.*
I put that aside when I tromped out in the rain to a clustered part of the city for dinner. When I walked into the restaurant I found that the rain** had deterred many of the other ladies so I was front-and-center for a no-formal-pressure-but-really-there's-social-pressure presentation on the healthy products. Think Mary Kay but for fiber chews and protein powder.
I did my best not to grimace from the gross vegan food*** and the overly obvious sales discussion as the nice girl who was presenting was right in front of me and looking into my eyes often. I alternated between being mad at her for pretending to know me**** and pitying her for having to win over our small crowd.
You know how you sometimes duck into a Bed Bath and Beyond in an outside mall just to escape the summer heat or see what Yankee Candle is on sale but it's their policy that at least 3 sales people have to ask you if you need any help by the time you make it past the sheet section and by that time you are worried that someone thinks your stealing milk duds and who buys milk duds at BB&B, let alone steals them and you get so flustered you walk out...
What was I saying?
I hate sales people because I feel pressured and that assumptions are being made about me. I don't like feeling like I'm being sold anything. I want to make my own decisions at my own pace and I want to be informed about the products through my own research, not just take someone's word who's seeking commission.
But I did have a free, vegan chocolate protein shake this morning and it wasn't half bad.
* Writing on the gee-dee wall.
** And possibly the sales presentation
*** I usually like this kinda stuff, but I didn't like this place.
**** Girl, I watch more documentaries on how food is produced in our nation than you've got time for and have already cut waaaaay back on diary, red meat, meat at all and know how to bake gluten-free.
Allow me to explain.

Advice: With a name like Dick Johnson...
My office ran the Chase Corporate Challenge. I ran with the Chicago office and was checking to see if the results from the Boston run had been posted yet. Perusing the Boston page of the CCC site, I saw this comment section. Have a gander and judge for yourself what the takeaway should be here:
That was literally the whole comment section. Dicky boy derailed the whole thing with his rant.
Not a single bit of useful information was shared.
I love the internet.

Speaking of Vegetable Vs. Candy News
And soberingly spot-on.
Did you see the pilot of HBO's The Newsroom?

A vegetable in a bag of candy
When I first heard about Ann Curry leaving the Today show for maybe unfavorable reasons, I was pissed. She's a great veteran journalist. Racism, sexism, Matt Lauer, etc. were all running through my head as possible reasons for her leaving.
She was a vegetable in a bag of candy.
I hope she does still reach people in her new role. I know I'd be happy to watch her.
Remember, folks: its all about the ratings. We vote with our money, our time and our attention. If you believe in reality TV shows that feature hidden cameras and obstacle courses, sure, vote for that. But if you believe in educating the public, keeping politicians transparent and making a difference for the underprivileged or underrepresented, make sure your attention, your time and your money reflect that.

Oh My WORD!
Less than 2 minutes after I clicked "post", I saw this:
"Carbon dioxide emissions are not just warming up our atmosphere, they're also changing the chemistry of our oceans. This phenomenon is known as ocean acidification, or sometimes as global warming's "evil twin" or the "osteoporosis of the sea." Scientists have warned that it poses a serious threat to ocean life. Yet major American news outlets covered the Kardashians over 40 times more often than ocean acidification over the past year and a half."

What We Can Learn from Wine: The Economy
According to this article in The Atlantic, the market for fine wine is taking a downward turn just like the world economy.
The article sites the Chinese as being a gauge for economic and consumer trends. China has been on the upswing for wine consumption, namely French varieties and status labels. As my cousin Mary Oakley would say, the Chinese are buying up wine in exhibition of "face". They choose traditionally expensive wines from France and buy from major suppliers with well-known, expensive products. This gives them the insurance of getting a great wine all-the-while impressing those that come to dinner or just see the bottle sitting on the shelf. Like having an impractical car in the garage.
While Mr. S and I were in Napa, we learned that the Asian cultures are much more into wine now than they used to be. Some of the wineries had large export markets going right to Japan and China. They claimed that Asian cultures were getting into wine they way a teenager would - breaking into their affluent parent's wine cellar and taking the fanciest bottle (my words, not theirs). Since France is known for wine, French wines are the equivalent of a bright pink bottle with rhinestones and a blinking cork.
BUT. Relatively recent inclusion of California wines into European tastes tests prove that American wines can be just as impressive as (and in some cases, more so than) their French grandparents.
Now, this article only mentioned that the Chinese weren't buying as much French Bordeaux as they used to, and that they are branching out to other regional, French wines. Is the article leaving out American wines to make a point on the instability of wine sales? Are the Chinese just not as hot on American wines... yet? Or am I just overly patriotic of our wines and therefore should support the wine industry and buy local :)
A plug for buying local: Wine is traditionally stored and shipped in heavy glass bottles. It takes more oil and resources to ship wine from Australia or Chile than it does from California. And if you live in the Midwest, it takes more oil to ship from California than it does from Illinois. Support your local economy, U.S. regulated working conditions, lower carbon emissions, and lower fuel usage by buying local.

Flip It Friday: Layers of Questions
Yesterday I was talking with some coworkers about society, American politics, race, company politics, health and current events. It was heavy but beautiful. We created an impromptu round table in my office and bantered about all things noodle-worthy. We were all fair and open-minded. I closed the day out with saying to another, I see the storm clouds in the distance. Something is coming. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like all of this conversation, theses events are preparing us.
I went to bed last night praying prayers of readiness and woke up to a rainy forecast and a downpour-during-commute. A literal rain cloud had rolled right in.
Let's start in deep and work our way out of the rabbit hole of controversy in my head.
Wrestling in/on my mind this week: The White Savior Industrial Complex. Attending that Justice Conference. Reposting that Kony video. Shoot, basically declaring that I have a calling somewhere in social service. What does it mean to impact people. How do we do "with" and not "to"?
Noodle on that.
Let's take a step back now.
Between the TED Talks video below (I'm getting hooked on these lately... thanks, Bebe!) and this article, I'm thinking about SOPA/PIPA again.
I do see how this legislation is never really going to go away. We are too connected of a society now to not share things online. But is copyright infringement inevitable? What about articles like this one that say that being copied is not only the highest form of flattery, but also the best kind of publicity for your business?
What do you think?
Now onto a lighter note (or for those who don't care about SOPA), are you planting a garden this year? Our friends BaM are and so are our landlords/neighbors. MFAMB also did a funny article on planting her garden. (I wish I could compost!) I don't have a green thumb, but I wish I did. Do you have any tips for the greenest (i.e. newest) of the gardeners out there? I hear you should already have your lettuce in the ground!

My Monday Advice: Be Scrupulous
On my other blog I mentioned FastCompany too. I can't help myself this morning. They have so much great content to share.
As we are continually getting thicker and thicker with political opinion, the elephants have yet to choose a ring leader and the donkeys are still throwing popcorn from the stands, I think it's wise to remember to be vigilant of the information we are fed.
Consider this article.
Have you ever questioned an infographic when you read it? They are so popular and many of us will read the graphic before (or instead of ) reading the article.
Let's take a look at this graph from the Atlantic:
The popular Tumblr, I Love Charts posted the first graph and let the readers have at it. Bravo to the careful viewers who noticed the misrepresentation and called The Atlantic on their fallacy. They changed their graphic to the second chart listed. Makes a world of difference, huh?
Not only in infographics, but in all things we are told, we should be wary and challenging. We cannot believe everything we are told. We should not blindly accept our parents' logic as our own - especially in the important things like politics and religion. Seek the truth for yourself.

Listen, Learn, Speak Out: SOPA, Congressmen and AT&T
What is SOPA? (A biased article to explain and the actual bill.)
What do you think about it? Tell your congressman. Wikipedia can help you decide who that is.
Even Google got in on this.
In other news: I had a great time in Tucson with my husband and 'rents. I came back to a butt-load of work (at which I am happily chipping away) and the lights don't work in my interior office. I'd send you an iPhone pic, but AT&T sucks and I can't email them to myself. If you have AT&T and want to tell them to help you out with service, data coverage, fewer dropped calls then get this app and let them know when and where you experience trouble. If you live in Chicago, we've heard through the grapevine that data service should improve by April of this year.

Tipsy Tuesday: Sometimes You Feel the Need to Yee-Haw
I've revolted against the cow-patty-country way of some of my cohorts and vowed to be city-slicker-civilized-cynical against all things country.
But what the flip is wrong with pop music today? All the "shake that" and electronica is so abusive to my ears. Seriously, do the B.E.P. sing/rap/garbagenoise everything nowadays?!
The music. It turned me first and it has turned me again. Bands like The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum, and themanwiththebesthairI'veeverseenonamanorawoman: Keith Urban all do much to cross genres and please many of us.
The attitude. I have some difficult conversations and interactions coming up and instead of having my city blinders on, I should take a more relaxed approach and maybe put on the armour of "Bless 'er heart" to just fake my way through it. If it works, it works, right?
via
The decor. My friend Maddison asked me which would I choose for her new studio: a gray rug and a cowhide rug. I told her the gray rug because I didn't peg her for country. But looking at the pics on her blog have me "woo-ing" over the hide one. What do you think? Head to her blog to see the comparison and leave a comment weighing in.
The food. Cook with butter. Because fat is flavor and Paula Dean looks beautiful (and happy)!
And the drinks. Food and drinks are separate, yep. I've always loved beer. S wanted to head to Maria's, a local hole-in-the-wall, for a beer last night. Alas, I had already swapped respectable clothing and contacts for my new RayBan glasses and and eclectic pj combo, so I told him I'd concoct something fun at home. I found The Kicking Cow cocktail on an app. that tells you what drinks you can make with what you have in your liquor cabinet/fridge.
Equal parts:
whiskey
cream
maple syrup.
A diabetic, lactose intolerant nightmare, but I liked it.
The hand is mine, the foot is S's. I'm a bad iPhone photographer and he's a comedian.
So I stand corrected. Get your country-on.

Common Sense Wednesday: Money for Nothing and the Perks for Free
or Build, Contribute, Reinvent
or Have Your Cake and Eat It Too (although a Brit said it first)
or The American Way - Fat, Prickish and Broke
or Yet More Evidence One Should Live Within His Means
or Watch This Video and Turn Your Brain on:
Mary Meeker of KCPB narrates a fascinating piece on the economy through the lense of "America, Inc" and on the heels of a heated debate about our country's budgets, spending and debt. It's a bit of a long video, but worth your time. Take you lunch break to view and mill it over if you can.
It provokes many questions, and appears to be non-partisian in pointing blame at all of us - consumers and politicians alike - for being such a greedy, spoiled nation with a muffin top (my words, not Mary's). Pretty picture, huh?
Without even tipping a toe into the partisian debate on spending, let's think about the extremes for no other reason than to answer some obvious questions:
For those that say they don't want to pay higher taxes, that we should purely cut spending because "I don't use the public library, nor am I on welfare, and I don't like war", I ask you -
Do you live in a jungle? Where lion/tiger/bear law reigns? Where you scavenge for your food and answer only to the call of the wild? No. You live in 'merica and you may think that you have a right to retire when your knees go bad.
For those who say that they'd prefer for the rich to pay higher taxes to support programs that help keep Grandma healthier, longer, but think that they, themselves, need to not cut back on the cable bill and pitch in for G-ma's expensive vitamins, I ask -
Would Grandma appreciate that? What if when you get older, your kids shipped you to "the home" to take care of you and give you what you needs to survive, nevermind your quality of life? Isn't that passing the buck?
For those who support higher taxes for everyone in favor of keeping all of the programs the help the poor, downtrodden, sick, elderly, and homeless, I say -
Are the programs for which your tax dollars are paying working? Do you know where your money's going? Is it going towards the program's overhead? Their travel expenses? Is it even going towards providing drug users with clean needles?
For EVERYONE -
What do you think about the budget deal? What changes would you make to the way our country handles its finances? What are you going to do as a citizen to make a difference?
