In Depth: Best Hardware Store
Brookland TrueValue Hardware
by Erik Wemple April 18th, 2008 August 29th, 2020
Howard Politzer Credit: Darrow Montgomery
3501 12th St. NE, (202) 635-3200
Omnia hardwara District of Columbiana in duas partes divisa est. First, there's the Home Depot just off Rhode Island Avenue in Northeast. Incomplete inventory, unserviceable customer service, long lines at the register—never has there been a more automatic scratch from the Best-Hardware contenders card.
Then there's the real competition, which takes place among the various shops associated with major national hardware names Ace and TrueValue. On this front, entrepreneurial activity has picked up significantly in recent years, to the eternal benefit of D.C. communities.
Much of the risk—and reward—has been borne by Gina Schaefer, owner of three gentrification-era Ace hardware stores around town. Schaefer's outlets in Logan Circle, Tenleytown, and Glover Park are fine establishments with polite and well-informed employees. The inventory is complete and well-organized; if the store doesn't have what you want, take it up with a customer care representative—chances are that the precious item can be ordered and in hand in no time.
Even though Schaefer's contributions to the local hammer supply have won her a nod from Enterprising Women magazine, she's still got a bit of work to do on the local front. That's because the Best-of distinction in the District belongs to Brookland TrueValue Hardware, a local retail institution.
Brookland Hardware has been open since 1920, and it has the inventory to go with the history. The aisles are a bit cramped, but they're cramped because this place has everything, from stains and paints to keys and tools and plumbing supplies. Chances are good that you'll need some help finding what you need; chances are even better that there'll be someone knowledgeable available to help immediately. "We try to be well-stocked," says owner Howard Politzer. "We try to stock the old, hard-to-find items for old houses."
Politzer, who has owned Brookland Hardware for nearly 29 years, is famous for holding onto good staff. One former assistant worked 21 years at the store, and other front-deskers are headed for similar tenures.
While a lot of hardware stores boast of being independent, this place feels independent. The clerks are helpful and folksy and will tell you if you're about to make a foolish purchase. The shop feels more like your basement than a shiny retail establishment. And check this out: "We are the only hardware store in Washington, D.C., that has a lottery [terminal]," says Politzer.
Brookland Hardware's real true value, though, resides in a document available by the front desk. It's called a "rental menu," and it'll turn any old Joe into Harry Homeowner for a song. There are hammer drills, right angle drills, dollies, edgers, engine hoists, grappler hooks, linoleum rollers, planers, paint sprayers, sanders and more sanders, woodchipper mauls, and so much more.
It gets better. The store's "EQUIPMENT RENTAL FORM" calls on customers to fill out some standard information, like name, address, and driver's license number. But in a reflection of the quirky essence of this hardware outpost, the form also calls upon the renter to list height and weight. Now that's putting the customer first.

After being deported from India Debbie Abrahams arrived in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD: The British lawmakers whom India had denied a visit to Kashmir stated on Wednesday that situation in the occupied valley has turned into a serious human rights issue, demanding all states under the United Nations Charter to take notice and act.
After being deported from India on Monday, Debbie Abrahams, a Labour Party lawmaker who chairs a parliamentary group focused on Kashmir All-Party Parliamentary Group for Kashmir (APPG) arrived in Islamabad.
Lawmakers Abrahams and Imran Hussain at a press conference along with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi at the Foreign Office called for an immediate response by international community to take urgent notice of worsening human rights situation in Indian-held Kashmir. Abrahams said the group members will report back to their parties on India denying the visit and Pakistan allowing for an independent monitoring of its respective side of Kashmir. "We are not here for sight-seeing, but because that we are deeply concerned about the human rights situation in Kashmir, and we are constantly raising it," she said, and hoped that India will take the opportunity to reflect on Pakistan's approach to address the issue and allow visit of the group, which she said is 'not anti-India or pro-Pakistan, but pro-human rights'. Abrahams, who led a delegation of British MPs in a meeting with the Foreign Minister Qureshi here, stressed that international community needs to take the issue on priority and make sure that human rights are not negotiable, regardless of religion, ethnicity, age and gender. She said the resolutions of the UN Security Council are still in place and relevant for the current Kashmir situation. To a question on UK's response to looming threat of genocide in Indian-held Kashmir, she said the independent group does not represent the British government and cannot speak on its behalf. However, she said, the group has host of ways to draw attention to the relevant authorities in this regard. "We as parliamentarians will lobby our governments towards the issue of geo-political significance as two nuclear powers [Pakistan and India] can come to loggerheads with each other," she said.
Debbie Abrahams termed Kashmir the longest running dispute which escalated after India's action of revoking the valley's special status on August 5 last year. She mentioned the commitment of Pakistan government to resolve the issue, contrary to India's attitude of not allowing international observers to monitor the situation.
Deputy Chair of All Parties Kashmir Group MP Imran Hussain said the Kashmir issue was not limited to being a bilateral matter between Pakistan and India, but has become a human rights issue which needs serious attention by the world community. He said had India nothing to hide about the situation in Kashmir, the independent group would have been allowed to visit the occupied valley. He termed India's Public Safety Act as 'draconian and illegal', saying it is the moral duty of the world not to shy away from the issue. "We must help to assist and resolve the issue and the Indian government should realize its irresponsible role," he added.
He said lockdown in Indian-held Kashmir has made situation cumbersome for innocent civilians who cannot even contact their relatives on other side of the valley. He said the UN Human Rights chief will also visit Pakistan soon.
Foreign Minister Qureshi said India has revealed its sham face of secularism and democracy by denying visit of an independent foreign group on Kashmir. He mentioned that All Parties Group of British parliamentarians presented a credible report on Kashmir situation in 2018, highlighting the ongoing atrocities by Indian security forces. He expressed hope that House of Commons, European parliament and US Congress will raise voice, similar to Pakistan where the parliament twice passed unanimous resolutions on Kashmir.
"The world's parliaments should raise voice and back the international human rights organizations speaking on Kashmir," he said, and expressed the fear that the disputed area can become a nuclear flashpoint with high prospects of making a global impact.
To a question on slow progress on Kashmir's resolution, he said the government has revived the issue which had been put on back burner for last several years. "After 54 years, we have taken up the issue at UN Security Council and thus, a beginning has been made," he said, adding that the recent statement of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about UNSC Resolutions of being still relevant today was a great endorsement of Pakistan's stance. Qureshi dismissed a statement by Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar who said only one of the two democracies will decide about the fate of Kashmir, saying that decision by the 'so-called democracy' has already been taken on August 5 which was rejected by Kashmiris. "Today, a huge segment of population including Muslims and other minorities call the Citizenship Amendment Act a folly of India," he said.
Separately, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday underscored that the international community has a responsibility in raising awareness about India's crimes against humanity and putting pressure on New Delhi for implementation of UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.
Talking to the visiting British MPs, he said Pakistan believes that a just and lasting solution of Kashmir dispute is essential for peace, security and stability in South Asia. He reiterated Pakistan's commitment to continue supporting the Kashmiri people in their struggle for justice and inalienable right of self-determination.
Imran Khan commended the group's consistent focus on Jammu and Kashmir dispute and noted the important contribution made by its earlier reports on the human rights situation in the occupied valley. The prime minister apprised the delegation of dire human rights and humanitarian conditions in the valley in the aftermath of India's illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019. He underlined that eight million Kashmiris are under a military siege for the last six months, with all their rights and freedoms taken away.

Gang member flees from trial, given 50-year sentence
Updated 4:01 pm CDT, Friday, July 12, 2019
Jaime Ortega Brito, 35, had been charged with evading arrest with a vehicle after an incident on Aug. 27, 2017. However, on the second day of his trial, Brito, who was on bond, failed to appear for court, according to the DA's Office.

Midland County District Attorney Laura Nodolf announced that a Midland County jury assessed a 50-year prison sentence to a 35-year-old Midland man who jumped bail during his trial.
Jaime Ortega Brito, 35, is a member of the West Texas Tango gang, according to the DA's Office, and had been charged with evading arrest with a vehicle after an incident on Aug. 27, 2017. However, on the second day of his trial, Brito, who was on bond, failed to appear for court, according to the DA's Office.
A report from the DA indicated that under the law the trial had to continue without his presence. It also stated that after the presentation of evidence the jury deliberated for approximately three hours late Wednesday afternoon before finding Brito guilty. Following the presentation of evidence at the punishment phase, the jury deliberated again for approximately 20 minutes before announcing the verdict of a 50-year prison sentence late Thursday afternoon. Brito's formal sentencing will be done after he is rearrested.

The DA's Office reported that the evidence presented in the case showed Midland County Sheriff's Office deputies began pursuing Brito's vehicle in the late-night hours of Aug. 27, 2017, after catching him driving on Business 20 toward Midland at over 110 miles per hour. Following a high-speed pursuit that travelled down Loop 250 and onto the I-20 service road, Brito finally gave up and stopped his truck down a side road off the highway and was taken into custody. Brito had several open alcohol containers in his vehicle and displayed signs of intoxication after being arrested. Evidence presented at the punishment phase consisted of Brito's nearly 20 prior criminal convictions, including multiple trips to state and federal prison.
Brito faced a maximum punishment of up to life in prison based on his record, according to the DA's Office. He can be considered for parole after serving one quarter of his sentence. Brito could face additional charges for jumping bail during the trial.
The case was prosecuted by Midland County First Assistant District Attorney Tim Flathers and Assistant District Attorney Libbie Richards. The trial was held in the 142nd District Court and presided over by Judge George "Jody" Gilles.


The hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functions of other endocrine glands.
The pituitary gland has two parts—the anterior lobe and posterior lobe—that have two very separate functions.
The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary to release or inhibit pituitary hormone production.
The pituitary gland is often dubbed the "master gland" because its hormones control other parts of the endocrine system, namely the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes. However, the pituitary doesn't entirely run the show.
In some cases, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to stimulate or inhibit hormone production. Essentially, the pituitary acts after the hypothalamus prompts it.
The pituitary gland is only about 1/3 of an inch in diameter (that's about as large as a pea) and located at the base of the brain.
Since their functions are so intertwined, it's no surprise that the hypothalamus and pituitary are located near each other. They're actually connected by the pituitary stalk, or more technically, the infundibulum.
The pituitary glands are made of the anterior lobe and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe produces and releases hormones. The posterior lobe does not produce hormones per se—this is done by nerve cells in the hypothalamus—but it does release them into the circulation.
The hormones of the pituitary gland send signals to other endocrine glands to stimulate or inhibit their own hormone production. For example, the anterior pituitary lobe will release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to stimulate cortisol production in the adrenal glands when you're stressed.
The anterior lobe releases hormones upon receiving releasing or inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus. These hypothalamic hormones tell the anterior lobe whether to release more of a specific hormone or stop production of the hormone.
Pituitary tumors are the most common pituitary disorder, and many adults have them. However, they are not, in the great majority of cases, life-threatening. But that doesn't mean they're harmless—pituitary tumors can disrupt the gland's normal ability to release hormones.
Another pituitary disorder is known as pituitary apoplexy. In some cases, pituitary function can be suddenly disrupted (due to bleeding or trauma), creating a life-threatening shortage of vital hormones.

Q: Hide an element after .load() I'm creating a login popup, goal is, to login without a page refresh.
After login, I refresh my page #wrap with following code:
$('body').find('#wrap').load(window.location.href + ' #wrap');

I noticed, that my JQuery Code is not working after this. For example .click does not work after my .load(), so I'm using
$("body").on("click", "#settings-gear", function(event)

This works perfect, but now I have another problem:
How can I hide an element from load ? I searched for solutions ...
Before my .load() function, i'm hiding with
$('#settings').hide();

Greets

A: load() provides a complete callback that fires after the html has been inserted.
Within the callback this is the element represented by the initial selector
$('#wrap').load(window.location.href + ' #wrap', function(){
      /* new content exists, can run code for it here */
      $(this).find('.someClass').doSomething();
});

Q: In Python, remove both duplicates to a new dataframe while ignoring NaN ( empty cells) I have a dataframe with duplicates in Animals. I want to parse out both rows if there is a duplicate in Animals into a new df. I'm having issues with the both part.
Input df:
   Animals   Stuff
0  Cow       red
1  NaN       blue
3  123       green
4  Cow       green
5  NaN       1235
6  Dog       1235
7  123       red

Here is my desired output with two dataframes
df1:
  Animals   Stuff
1  NaN      blue
5  NaN      1235
6  Dog      1235

df2:
   Animals   Stuff
0  Cow       red
4  Cow       green
3  123       green
7  123       red

I have tried the following but it's not wokring as I'd except
duplicated = df['Animals'].duplicated(keep=False) & ~df['Animals'].isna()
dupes = df[duplicated]
data = df[~duplicated]

dupes.to_csv("Path/DuplicateAnimals.csv", index = False)
data.to_csv("Path/data.csv", index = False)

How do I remove both duplicate instances into a new dataframe while ignoring NaN?

A: You could do:
duplicated = df['Animals'].duplicated(keep=False) & ~df['Animals'].isna()

Then for df[~duplicated] (df1) you get:

Animals
Stuff

1
nan
blue

4
nan
1235

5
Dog
1235

And for df[duplicated] (df2):

Animals
Stuff

0
Cow
red

2
123
green

3
Cow
green

6
123
red

A: I ended up using this to put all duplicates into one dataframe:
df1= df[data.groupby('Animals')['Animals'].transform('size') > 1]
df1= df.drop(columns = ['ID',])

Then dropped all the duplicates:
df2 = df.drop_duplicates(subset=['ConsID'])


Profits at fast food chain Domino's have tumbled amid a battle with its franchisee store owners and troubles overseas.
It posted profits of £61.9million, down 22 per cent on a year earlier. Sales in stores open more than a year in the UK increased 4.6 per cent compared with a year earlier, while revenues across the entire group increased by 9 per cent to £1.2billion.
In addition to the UK and Ireland, Domino's also operates stores in countries including Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany. But its international business has hurt growth as it struggles abroad to replicate the success of its pizza.
Analysts said the slump in profits came as a shock.
Earnings were hit by one-off costs such as £4.5million for the Norwegian expansion.
The pizza firm has also been struggling to meet ambitious store opening targets in the UK amid a backlash from franchisees who run its shops and who have been dragging their heels over opening new outlets as they demand a larger slice of Domino's profits.
They have also complained of a financial hit from higher ingredient costs.
Domino's opened 58 stores in the UK last year but has scrapped targets for the year ahead, saying openings are likely to be lower given the dispute.
It now has more than 1,100 stores, a figure which is 500 short of its long-term target.
Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: 'Once the poster child of the franchise industry, profit is now going backwards.
Boss Wild said the firm was confident the rift between management and franchisees would be resolved soon.
He said: 'I talk to franchisees every day and what's clear is everyone wants this bridge to be built where we start working collaboratively together with success.
'You have to build a bridge from two sides though. We're reaching out now and we're getting a positive response.
'But we've got to complete the construction of the bridge and that's something that we're still working on.
The Milton Keynes-based firm, which is completely separate from Domino's in the US, makes 90 per cent of its sales in Britain.
It sold a record 102m pizzas last year, which is equivalent to 6.5 every second.
The fast food chain's best-sellers included its cheeseburger pizza which comes topped with ground beef, gherkins, onions and burger sauce.
The company recently launched a low-calorie range of pizzas called Delight, which contains around 100 calories per slice, compared with 200 for the average Domino's slice.
Domino's Pizza shares were 0.7 per cent, or 1.6p, higher last night, at 234.7p.

Sometimes it's easy to get annoyed with social media, and yes, I'm guilty of being irritable with the constant interaction and/or notifications.
But the truth is that if we step back, social media is a blessing in MANY way.
It gives us multiple channels to keep in touch, locate old friends, and hey – it's full of cute kitties and sweet puppies, which everyone needs more of in life.
Don't you dare roll your eyes!
There's plenty who say that social media ruins our life, hurts our relationships, and destroys our self-esteem.
But there's so many ways that social media makes our lives better, especially during the holiday season, and I want to share them with you.
Why? Because we should focus on the positive effects of social media, and see all the ways it helps us to do things we've never done simply by logging onto Facebook or Instagram.
So let's walk through 5 reasons to be thankful for social media this holiday season.
1. Social media makes it easy to connect with loved ones.
Let's be honest – how easy is it for grandma to log on and see the latest pictures of her grandchildren? Or talk with your gypsy of a friend living across the world? Or plan holidays events with online invitations – all the while saving trees and being kind to the environment?
Super easy with social media!
I remember the days when I had to be home when someone was going to call me, when staying in touch meant swiping my tongue across lots of stamps (ew!), and when I didn't know how long it would be before I was able to see family members again.
And yes, I'm showing my age.
But still.. You remember it, too!
And while there are fond things I miss like handwritten notes, letters in the mail, and that concern I won't be home when someone cute is going to call me. But.
Times have changed, and that is exciting because it offers us more opportunities to connect with loved ones over the holidays, regardless of where they are, what they're doing, and loveeee all over them.
2. Social media makes it simple to let your fans, followers, and customers know how much they mean to you.
Back in the day, it was pretty tough to let ALL your customers or clients know how important they are to you.
Maybe it was because you didn't have everyone's address or weren't able to pinpoint every person who appreciated your products or service.
But these days, you can share how thankful you are for your customers and online audiences easily and often.
You can put together quote cards, photos or videos, and get as personal as you want.
However, if you only do it once, it will be tough to reach everyone, so use the holidays as an opportunity to be overly thankful and say it as much as possible. And from every angle.
Send out email newsletters, write a blog, tweet it, update your Facebook, share pics on Instagram, videos on Snapchat, or put together a Periscope or Blab that you can share again and again.
It's a luxury to be able to thank everyone so effortlessly, but we must not take advantage of that.
3. Social media allows us to spread love and positive messages to those who may not get to hear it during the holidays.
If you've ever served in a soup kitchen or volunteered on a holiday, you're more than aware there are thousands of people out there who don't have anyone to share the holidays with, and it can be a hard time for them.
That's where you and social media can make a positive impact!
Not only do you want to thank the people who support you online, but take the time to do so because there's many out there who won't hear it from other people.
The holidays can be a rough time, so spread as much cheer as you possible can! Go overboard!
Utilize your social networks to share heartwarming content, useful articles, fun videos, and as much ooey-gooey goodness as you can possibly muster.
4. Social media allows us to easily find fun things to do locally.
If you haven't tapped into the power of social media for finding awesome things to do during the holiday season, then you're missing out!
Last week, I came across a Facebook update explaining the candle lighting ceremonies in downtown Wilmington (where I recently moved to), so I was able to join in.
In fact, I've done nothing but use social media to tap into the local scene since I moved here for restaurants, events, grocery stores, yoga studios, and places to run.
Search your social channels for local listings, events, and be sure to support local businesses as much as you can during the holiday season.
Especially if you're alone or have recently moved, jumping on social can provide ample opportunities to find events you wouldn't never found out about.
And the same goes for locals! You never know what you'll find until you start looking.
5. Social media reminds us that while it's easy to stay connected, what really matters is in front of us.
And finally, while social media is awesome, and provides us ample channels to communicate easily with loved ones from every walk of life, it's a reminder that life doesn't exist online.
The holidays are for family and friends, not being glued to our phones, laptops, or tablets.
It's the time to put these things aside and enjoy the tender moments, the ones we'll miss one day or call memories.
So take lots of pictures, but don't get stuck behind the camera.
Shoot videos of funny or endearing moments, but make sure there's a purpose behind them.
And don't feel the need to updated everyone and their Mom about every single little thing that makes your holiday wonderful.
Here's to YOU, a wonderful supporter of my business and brand. Thank YOU! I wish you and yours a spectacular and loving holiday spent with those you love most.


We are inviting the talented people of Liverpool to join a team of performers who will form the superb singing waiters service at events taking place in Liverpool. Our open auditions are taking place on the 13th May at Arthouse Hotel and we want everyone who believes they have what it takes to sing their hearts out for a chance to be paid for performing.
This American style bar and diner is in one of the busiest areas in town so, if you fit the bill, your talents could be seen and heard by hundreds of people every night you perform.
Simply apply online, adding in any relevant experience you have and telling us as much about yourself as possible then arrive on the day and give it your all.
Your performance will be solo and auditions will take place individually in front of a panel of judges who would like to hear a selection of two or three songs of your choice that you are comfortable singing. If you need a backing track, bring it and it will have to be on a USB or AUX compatible device.
Once you've impressed the panel then it's time to get to know you a better. Our judges will ask a little about your ambitions for the future as well as discuss any professional training you might have and what you can expect to gain whilst working as a singing waiter.
If you have any additional talent such as fire breathing, juggling, acting or acrobatics, let us know and show us what you can do as there isn't much that won't impress us.
As regular contributors to the entertainment industry in Liverpool, Signature Living host and organise fun and exciting events that take place throughout the year.
Everything from sophisticated afternoon tea services at 30 James Street – Home of the Titanic to our famous themed afternoon teas in The Shankly and Alma de Cuba.
We even hosted a festival in this year, Big Luv Weekender, in our rooftop events venue the Garden of Eden and at Mulholland and Arthouse Hotel we've welcomed the Million Dollar Men and regular live music events onto our calendar.
As part of the signing waiter service, you could be expected to work 2-3 times a week depending on what events are taking place and once a team is established, special singing and performing waiter events will become regularly scheduled.
Located in the centre of Seel Street at the heart of the Ropewalks district, Arthouse Hotel and Mulholland Bar can be found.
Not only do we provide entertainment for Arthouse Hotel guests but Mulholland Bar also attracts a lively crowd of revellers with its quirky Americana theme. Lists of cocktails are whipped up by gifted bar staff named after vintage movie stars, pizzas and movie-themed snacks are served when people get peckish and the bar stays open until late, giving people a place to dance the night away.
Our guest crowd includes hen and stag parties, groups of guests celebrating special occasions like birthdays as well as residents of Liverpool who stay in our movie-themed group rooms rather than getting taxi's home.
If you are successful in at our open auditions we will notify within two weeks and, once hired, you will become an important piece of the events and entertainment team with Signature Living as a Signature Star.
The role as a singing waiter will give you the chance to hone your singing skills and practice performing for an audience, you'll meet some fabulous people who could become great friends and best of all, you'll have fun in your work.
So step out from behind that desk and come to our open auditions on the 13th of May to see if you have what it takes to become a singing waiter and a Signature Star.
Apply here or email careers@signatureliving.co.uk for more information.

Few of us would be flattered to be called a 'poor worm' or 'puny mite' by a stranger, but that is exactly how the Lord addresses Israel in Isaiah 41. 13–20. Context is everything, of course, and in Isaiah it is the language of tenderness and intimacy. We can identify with Israel, shivering with fear, shrinking from the violence on every side, but held fast by God's right hand. The trouble is, although we know it is so, we don't often feel it is so — or if we do, doubts about our sanity may arise. We have to live a strange paradox, knowing how weak and vulnerable we are yet at the same time knowing that the victory has been won; and the God we can't see or hear or touch is closer to us than we are to ourselves because his Spirit dwells within us.
How we are to reconcile these paradoxes, I don't know, but they provide ample food for thought. My own private accommodation of these texts may strike you as fanciful, but whenever I think of Isaiah's poor worm, I think of the glow-worm — not a true worm, at all, but an insect, destined to have wings and soar to the heights with a beautiful luminescence. There is in all of us, in the black carbon of our being, something of Hopkins's 'immortal diamond' which God has created, treasures and keeps safe. John saw that and spent his whole life trying to get others to see it, too.

This year, I was lucky enough to be in LA for the biggest weekend of vintage shopping ever! For the first time, LA Vintage Weekend brought together the Vintage Fashion Expo and Inspiration LA under one roof. And with the Rose Bowl market on the same weekend, there was more shopping than I could handle. And I can handle a lot.
The weekend kicked off with Inspiration on Friday afternoon. Now in its seventh year, Inspiration is growing from its mens' workwear roots to welcome high-end vintage women's wear as well. It's still mostly denim, leather, beards and pomade, but hey, I never heard any ladies complain about that.
I went to Inspiration for the first time last year and had no idea what to expect. It's part clothing fair, part expo, part festival. It's like a huge party for well-dressed people who love looking at cool stuff. There's also free drinks on Friday night!
Every vendor puts a lot of care and attention into their displays, there's eye candy everywhere. It can actually be hard to shop because you're too busy looking! The merchandise is generally the best of the best, and the prices reflect that, but there's a few bargains here and there. A lot of fashion designers come to shop and be inspired... Apparently Ralph Lauren was there to make some purchases, but I didn't see him!
The PF Flyers stand was so beautifully curated. So much to look at!
The next day, we were back at the LA Mart for the Vintage Fashion Expo. Having spent all my money at Inspiration the day before, I didn't buy anything, but the ladies and I had a lot of fun looking. It was also great to see Dita Von Teese, who was wearing a beautiful felt circle skirt by Juli Lynne Charlot.
I know everyone will want to see the weekend haul, so here it is… Two jackets, a rayon blouse and a Hopalong Cassidy sweater.
Want to see more fabulous people at Inspiration? Check out the image gallery on the Inspiration website. You won't be disappointed!

Great Eggspectations
Did you know that tomorrow it will be Easter Day in Bulgaria? I do like it on the (rare) occasions when the Daily Blog comes over all educational.
I owe this latest insight into Matters Bulgarian to six year old Vinnie who lives next door and is a Constant Mine of Information. His mother is Bulgarian which is clearly a considerable advantage where Repeat Easters are concerned. Why have one Eggy Celebration when you could have two?
Vinnie tells me that his mother has cooked twenty-nine eggs to mark the occasion. There were originally thirty eggs, he says, but one cracked. I can't imagine what Vinnie's mother is going to do with the twenty- nine eggs. It seems rather a lot to eat, don't you think? Later on I check out with my Best Friend Google who informs me that there is a tradition in Bulgaria to paint and decorate eggs which are then used in egg fights, rather like our conker battles. I shall listen out tomorrow for sounds of warfare coming from next door.
I telephone eldest granddaughter Katie to wish her a Happy Birthday. Yesterday, working girl that she is, she had to take cakes into work for all her colleagues, a tradition I remember from my own working days. Apparently the doughnuts were the most popular. Today she and her family have been at the Point to Point races and, guess what, Running in Heels (that's the name of the horse by the way) was racing again. He fared no better this year than last year, when Mr B and I were there to cheer him on - but at least he was memorable. Even if for all the wrong reasons.
Mr B took to the streets of Worthing town centre on a mobility scooter this morning, courtesy of the really rather wonderful folk at Shopmobility. Possibly a busy Saturday, in a crowded town centre, wasn't the best of days to put the Shoprider through its paces. It was almost as stressful as Running in Heels.
It wasn't helped by the fact that major works are underway to redesign the main thoroughfare. Pedestrians were being diverted along a narrow uneven path which was nowhere near wide enough for baby buggies, wheelchairs, or kiddies on scooters let alone Mr B, regally riding his Shoprider. Next time, I reassured Mr B, we will venture out on a Tuesday afternoon. He raised his eyebrows at me but didn't quibble about there being a "next time" which I took to be a positive.
So, all in all, it hasn't been a particularly eventful day. Nothing earth-shattering has happened which is doubtless a Good Thing. Katie has enjoyed her nineteenth birthday, Running in Heels didn't win its race, Mr B has taken to wheels, our next door neighbour has cooked - and presumably decorated - twenty-nine eggs and Vinnie is looking forward to a Bulgarian Easter Day tomorrow.
That's what you call Great Eggspectations.

The Coastal Carolina University LIFE program is a four-year, tuition-based, post-secondary education and transition program for young adults who have mild to moderate intellectual and/or developmental disabilities as defined by AAIDD.
The Coastal Carolina University LIFE program enrolls 10-12 students each academic year.
LIFE program staff and mentors facilitate and support each student's full integration within the campus community, both academically and socially, by utilizing natural campus and peer supports, for academic and social mentoring. The LIFE program prepares students with the life skills they need to complete their post-secondary education, gain and maintain meaningful employment, and live independent and productive adult lives.
LIFE program staff and mentorsfacilitate and support each student's full integration within the campus community, both academically and socially, by utilizing natural campus and peer supports, for academic and social mentoring. The LIFE program prepares students with the life skills they need to complete their post-secondary education, gain and maintain meaningful employment, and live independent and productive adult lives.
Students in the LIFE program participate in person-centered planning to determine a focus for academic coursework that will support their career goals and personal interests. In addition, assessments measuring individual skills and understanding in three critical domains of adult living – daily living skills, self-determination and interpersonal skills, and employment readiness skills provide data to guide individualized instruction for each student. Students enroll in academic coursework that supports their interests, skills, and abilities and subsequently participate in a range of related work experiences including on and off-campus job shadowing, job try-outs, and internships. Students are required to take courses to enhance their physical well-being, communication, and healthy living. Finally, students participate in campus clubs and organizations, recreation, and leisure activities.
Daily living skills, self-determination, and interpersonal skills are enhanced through classroom instruction, daily engagement in campus life, activities, and social interactions and through experiential learning in their residence halls. Assessment scores are used to determine students' current level of knowledge and to design instruction focusing on individual student goals. Students also receive one-on-one or small group instruction in reading, consumer math, and health advocacy.
The LIFE program offers a Career Curriculum designed to help individuals master the work readiness skills they need to be successful in a changing workplace as measured by the WorkKeys® assessments. WorkKeys® is a job skills assessment system created by ACT – the college entrance test company that helps employers select, hire, train, develop, and retain a high-performance workforce. It is designed to predict success in the workplace; it is an accurate measurement of performance, rather than knowledge.
The Career Curriculum provides LIFE program students with opportunities to earn the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC), an industry recognized credential, based on their WorkKeys® test scores. Many employers in South Carolina and across the country are requiring the WorkKeys® assessments to help fill their job openings. Based on their WorkKeys® test scores, students will receive a bronze, silver, gold or platinum NCRC. The benefits of obtaining NCRC include: Certification of your foundational workplace skills; providing employers with additional insight into your qualifications; demonstrating your willingness and ability to prove the skills important to today's workplace; and providing jobseekers a competitive edge, when applying for a job.
First-year LIFE students are encouraged to live on campus in freshman housing, however, they may choose to live at home and commute to campus. A residential mentor is available to provide direct support and instruction to students living on campus. After freshman year, students will have opportunities to reside on campus in a typical residence hall or in apartment style housing. In the apartment setting, students are exposed to meal planning, grocery shopping, appropriate food storage and handling, safety, cooking, cleaning, and apartment maintenance. Students are encouraged to implement the budgeting and money management skills they are learning in small group instruction to accomplish tasks of independent living. Residential instruction has been developed to provide each student with progression to highest level of independence possible.
All LIFE students receive academic and social support through a structured mentoring program. LIFE students may participate in most campus activities, groups, or events that are open to other non-degree seeking students on campus, with the approval of the LIFE program staff. Participation in a wide variety of extracurricular activities is encouraged; social mentors assist students in identifying activities and groups that match their interest and often accompany them to events. Because LIFE students are non-degree seeking, they are ineligible to participate in Greek life or varsity athletics.
Required documentation of an intellectual disability, with significant limitations in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, as defined in AAIDD.
Secondary exit document: typically, our student have NOT met the requirement for and/or received a state high school diploma or its equivalent however, each student is evaluated on an individual basis.
Living in the residence halls is one of the most significant experiences students will have here at Coastal Carolina University. Traditionally, students spend more time in their residence hall than anywhere else on campus. In their new home students are challenged and educated by the diversity in thought as well as the cultural and intellectual exchange that surrounds them daily. By choosing University Housing, students will join a community to expand their learning experience beyond the classroom. Resident students will have the opportunity to make new friends, develop an appreciation and respect for differences and learn important skills that will help personal and professional relationships through college and beyond.
To assist with the individual needs of the LIFE students, a residential mentor lives in the residence halls during the week and on selected weekends. With the approval of the program staff, LIFE students may remain on campus on weekends when a residential mentor is not present. Students typically live in suite-style accommodations in the center of campus for at least the first year. Each student has a private bedroom in suite-style residences and shares a bathroom and common area with their suite-mates. As students gain independence skills, they may have an opportunity to live in University-owned apartments where each student will have their own bedroom and bathroom, and share living and kitchen space. All University apartments are fully furnished.
Students who meet the criteria could be eligible for the CTP (College Transition Program) Grant. Please note that award amounts are subject based on available funding.

Beef tasting just an intro to Wong's aims
In advance of his next Farmer Series Dinner March 14, Alan Wong hosted a preview of some of the dishes on the menu, and when I requested to go into the kitchen, he was in the process of preparing glazed carrots and turnips.
Alan Wong started a media preview of his next Farmer Series Dinner, taking place March 14, 2012, with the presentation of two equal size beef patties, posing the question, "Which do you like better?"
The beef had been cooked sans salt, pepper or other enhancements for the side-by-side tasting.
Taste comes down to personal preferences, physiology and often, familiarity, so there is no right or wrong answer, but he must have been glad that most of the room preferred the patty on the right, which turned out to be Maui Cattle Co. beef that will be the centerpiece of his Farmer Series dinner, which will also start with side-by-side tastings, followed by appetizers, sous chef Shaun Gaines' "Shrimp and Grits," opakapaka, a tasting of Maui Cattle Co. beef and Hanaoka Farms Lilikoi "Creameux" for dessert, the latter two dishes pictured below.
The other tasting option at the March 7 preview was generic supermarket beef that tasted like fast-food beef. The Maui beef was much sweeter, with better texture, and more interesting grassy, herbal character. The cattle is raised on a vegetarian diet of grasses, and according to Wong, pineapple and molasses, and no antibiotics, growth stimulants or other chemicals.
Wong's simple question of which beef patty one prefers raises all kinds of sustainable and economic issues.
Beyond raising awareness of the flavor profile of different beef, Wong talked about some of his pet projects, such as Aina in Schools, which addresses childhood health issues, nutrition education, agricultural literacy and garden-based learning.
"Things are disappearing in Hawaii," he said. Where once island farms satisfied 70 percent of our dairy needs, that number is down to 30 percent. Bees are disappearing as well.
Maui Cattle Co. beef will be presented four ways at the dinner. In front, braised shortribs with pomme purée of Twin Bridge Farms Patina Potatoes, with red wine glaze made from Wong's merlot. Moving clockwise, there will also be London broil with glazed Maui onions and port wine sauce, ribeye with roasted Ho Farms tomato cluster, and New York strip with glazed turnips from Otsuji Farms and arugula tapenade. The latter was my favorite.
Oceans are also being depleted and he's pushing to encourage people to do aquaponics "to supplement what get from the ocean."
"It's much more than 'which hamburger you like?' he said. "It's getting down to schools, helping kids learn to eat more healthy."
In turn, the children get to taste and appreciate differences between fresh and processed foods, learn to choose healthful foods over sugary snacks, and with the increased food literacy are helping to drive their parents' decisions in the supermarket.
Proceeds from the Farmers Series dinner will benefit Taste of the Nation, the fundraising arm of the national organization Share Our Strength, whose campaign, "No Kid Hungry" aims to end childhood hunger in America by 2015. To date, one out of every four children in the country does not know where his/her next meal will come from, and studies have shown that undernourished children are unable to focus in school and grow up to suffer emotional and health problems.
Among the local beneficiaries are 'Aina in the Schools, a program of the Kokua Foundation, and Hawaii Foodbank.
Polly Kauahi, director of Hawaii Foodbank, Inc., was there to talk about the Food 4 Keiki Backpack Program which launched in 2008 at Kaiulani Elementary School. The program aims to fight childhood hunger, starting by distributing bags packed with nutritious foods once a month to students from low-income families. Since then, the program is delivering the meals every Friday.
The cost of the Farmers Series dinner is $80 per person/$110 with wine. For reservations, call 949-2526.
Also coming up, Wong and 15 local chefs will partner with local farmers in Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation Hawaii, taking place April 29, 2012, at Bishop Museum, from 6 to 9 p.m., with a VIP hour from 5 p.m. Visit www.alanwongs.com for more details about these and other events.
Carrots need space in the pan to achieve an even, glossy sheen.
Chef de Partie Sonny Acosta Jr., will be the featured chef during Alan Wong's Next Generation Dinner taking place March 28, 2012. Among the highlights of this dinner will be his "Poulet au Vinaigre," which he prepared at the 2012 Bocuse d'Or USA Commis Competition at The Culinary Institute of America on Jan. 28. The chefs were invited to reinterpret Paul Bocuse's classic recipe in their style.
Drawing on his Filipino heritage, and growing up with the food of Thelma's in Waipahu, Acosta presented adobo style chicken three ways, including lumpia with ground chicken. It was delicious, could that be because I grew up in Waipahu, too?
After all the meat selections, pastry chef Michelle Karr-Ueoka's dessert was a light, refreshing delight. Her Hanaoka Farms Lilikoi "Creameux" comprised lilikoi curd, foam guava granite and foam coconut granite aerated in a canister to create a soft sponge effect, topped with white candied ginger meringue. That square toward far left comprises mango lassi, muddled mango, mango gelee and fresh mango. Amazing! The meal ended with amazake, a traditional unfiltered sake reinterpreted with Hanaoka Farms lilikoi juice, presented by wine director Mark Shishido.

Celebrating 'Made in America' Hawaii-style
Among chefs participating in the "Made in America 2" chef's dinner March 3 were, from left, Nancy Silverton, Josiah Citrin, Ludo Lefebvre and The Four Seasons Resort chef de cuisine Nick Mastrascusa.
Some of Los Angeles' top chefs were in the house at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai for "Made in America 2," five days of cooking classes, a farm tour, a fishing trip and sumptuous meals that took place March 1 through 5.
I was able to fly over to the Big Island for the chef's dinner March 3 at the Beach Tree restaurant, bringing together the talents of Nancy Silverton (Osteria Mozza, Pizzeria Mozza, La Brea Bakery), Matt Molina (executive chef of Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza), Ludo and Krissy Lefebvre (LudoBites) and Josiah Citrin (Mélisse, Lemon Moon Café).
Each of the chefs is featured in Lucy Lean's cookbook, "Made in America: Our Best Chefs Reinvent Comfort Food," published last fall, which showcases America's classic comfort food dishes as reinvented by 100 of today's top chefs from across the nation. Recipes by the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai executive chef James Babian and pastry chef Linda Rodriguez appeared in the cookbook, so the resort invited Lean back for "Made in America" celebration once the book was published. "MIA2" revisited the work, this time with more of Lean's chef friends to keep her company.
Considering the star power, I thought the various dinners were very reasonably priced at $69 to $99 per person with wine pairings by Master Sommelier Chuck Furuya.
Josiah Citrin had another reason to be in Hawaii, checking in on his new burger shack, Sure Thing Burger, in Lahaina. He's trying to get me to go over and try it, which is tempting, given that it's getting mostly 5-star ratings on Yelp, mostly from out-of-towners who have no clue as to the star power behind it.
He says he'll be on Oahu in September, for Roy Yamaguchi and Alan Wong's Hawaii Food and Wine Festival, an event that is more than doubling its size in its second year, to 50 chefs! Can't wait for that!
Lucy Lean's "Made in America: Our Best Chefs Reinvent Comfort Food" cookbook inspired the culinary gathering.
Lean's book, rendered in white chocolate.
As nice as it would be to have such a gathering on Oahu, the setting was fabulous and the intimacy allowed for great exchange between chefs and foodie fans.
The resort strives to be a culinary destination, and one fan, Greg Hartman of San Francisco, shared his love of the resort, saying that just a few years ago, it was "hollow."
Things changed, he said, with the opening of the Beach Tree on manager Chuck Wilson's birthday in August of 2009. "It transformed the whole resort," Hartman said.
Chef de cuisine Nick Mastrascusa describes the Beach Tree as the piko of the property, the gathering place where people congregate to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Formerly with the Four Seasons New York, Mastrascusa arrived at the same time as Wilson, and when he left New York, his peers teased, "What are you going to be doing there? Opening coconuts and serving food in them? Serving them with pineapple?
Far from it. The food certainly gives area farmers and ranchers their due, utilizing 75 percent local ingredients, but without a ticky-tacky tourist dish in sight.
Nick Mastrascusa grates cheese over the Garganelli with Ragu Bolognese cooked up on the spot by Nancy Silverton and Matt Molina.

Q: Images are not showing up on IE8 - Related to width property? I am working on GunsAmerica.com and some users with IE8 are noticing (with great distaste) that the images are not showing up on our listings. I am using Browserstack.com to test and can confirm the beheavior. You can see the problem on the homepage http://www.gunsamerica.com
Here is the CSS for the image:
    .listing-thumb img, .listing-thumb > a > img {
      height:auto;
      width: 170px;
      display:inline;
      max-width: 100%;
    }

Here is an example listing image html:

The class "sr_image" doesn't do anything so try to ignore that.
As far as I can tell it should work. Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Maybe this works

A: The solution about making the website compatible with IE8 will be temporary, because Microsoft is going to get rid of it anyway.
Check the link below for information on how to resolve the problem:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/310368/Make-Site-Compatible-to-IE-IE-IE-and-IE

A: Alright guys it's working now. What seemed to be the issue was the width property of the div that was enclosing it with the class "listing_thumb". This apparently required a width to be set because the inner  wasn't giving the container width information (required static px width).
From:
.listing-thumb {
margin: 0px 10px;
display: inline;
float: left;
max-height: 119px;
overflow: hidden;
}

To:
.listing-thumb {
margin: 0px 10px;
display: inline;
float: left;
max-height: 119px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 170px;
}

So there ya have it folks. If you've exhausted all other possibilities make sure all the enclosing containers have width properties that support the inner html.

Why does Indique virgin hair have split ends?
Why is Indique virgin hair darker at the roots than the ends?
Why can I buy a lace closure for $50 while Indique sells lace closures for $200?
Why can I find virgin hair for $50 whereas Indique sells virgin hair for more than $150?
If I purchase multiple pieces of hair from Indique, is there a chance I will experience quality issues with all of them?
Machine-wefted hair is commonly known as hair on "tracks," or a weave. Hair is stitched together with a sewing machine. There are many different methods of sewing. Indique uses the strongest, most shed-resistant method.
Yaki hair mimics relaxed or pressed African-American hair. Manufacturers sometimes use a chemical process to make the coarse texture of yaki hair. This is the cheapest and most damaging way to produce it. A more expensive method is to secure the hair in big perm rods, wrap a textured cloth around it, and steam it. This gives the hair a coarse texture with much less damage. Here at Indique, our yaki hair is known as relaxed straight hair, and it is produced through steam-perming.
Authentic virgin Remy hair has not been damaged or overprocessed, so it lasts longer. When fake virgin hair is acid-washed, the hair is damaged. The acid wash also reduces the thickness of the hair, and it becomes more prone to shedding. The silicone coating only creates the illusion that the hair is healthy.
Remy human hair is natural. When you examine Remy hair through a microscope, you'll see that the cuticles look like little scales. When all the scales flow in the same direction from the roots to the ends, the hair won't tangle easily. At Indique, we pride ourselves on using only Remy hair.
At Indique, we use the "virgin" label to distinguish our authentic Remy hair extensions from what you find at the beauty supply store and other retailers. Indique was one of the first companies in the US to sell authentic virgin Remy hair. Indique hair extensions are the industry standard.
In India, most women don't trim their ends. In order to maintain the integrity of our extensions, Indique does not cut or overprocess the hair we use.
Chemical-permed hair has been heavily processed and damaged. Dying or bleaching will only cause further damage, and stylists would not recommend it. Indique's steam-permed hair can be safely bleached or dyed.
The size of the closure matters. Indique's closure measures 5" x 7". Most companies sell a 3" x 3" closure. The larger the closure, the more it costs to make.
For both lace and silk-based closures, the quality of the hair is important. Always choose Remy virgin hair over Non-Remy hair. The density of the hair makes a difference too. Most companies make closures with less than 100% density to reduce the amount of hair used. Indique makes closures with 100% density. We do this to allow for more hair in each extension. You can reduce the thickness after you purchase the extension, rather than not having enough hair at the outset.
Long hair is never all the same length. At Indique, we receive our virgin Remy hair in ponytails. After washing the hair, we remove any hair shorter than 8 inches before creating our extensions. This gives the finished pieces a natural taper. If you purchase 18-inch hair, you'll typically need two pieces for a full sew-in. You'll need more than two pieces if your extensions are over 22 inches long.
At Indique, we offer the highest quality Remy virgin hair from India and Southeast Asia. Our hair has intact cuticles. It hasn't been washed in acid or coated with silicone. Other vendors selling extensions for $50 per piece are selling fake virgin hair. It will dry out after 4-8 washes and become increasingly tangled and matted over time.
It's extremely unlikely. If you consider how Remy virgin hair is produced, then you'll understand why you won't end up purchasing two or more defective pieces. During the wefting process, any hair that falls to the ground can't be picked up since it may be inverted and flow in the opposite direction as the other hairs. Workers have been trained to avoid the mistake of adding an inverted hair back into the weft, but it happens on rare occasions. If the inverted hair passes through Indique's quality assurance processes in India and the US, it will cause tangling once it's installed—but only in a small section of the extension. Some clients mistakenly assume that all of their extensions are becoming tangled. However, experiencing issues with Indique hair is very uncommon.

Szemerei Szemere Bertalan (de genere Huba) (Vatta, Borsod megye, 1812. augusztus 27. – Buda, 1869. január 18.) magyar politikus, országgyűlési képviselő, író, jogtudós, az első felelős magyar kormány belügyminisztere, majd a Magyar Királyság második miniszterelnöke az 1848–49-es forradalom és szabadságharc alatt. A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia levelező tagja.

Élete

Fiatalsága
A Borsod vármegyei Vattán született elszegényedett, régi nemesi család harmadik gyermekeként. Apja, Szemere László őrnagy, anyja Karove Erzsébet volt.

1820-ban a sárospataki református iskolában tanult, innen 1822-ben, főképp a német nyelv kedvéért a miskolci evangélikus iskolába helyezték át. Itt három évet töltött, a negyedikből nyolc hónapot otthon, és csak 1826 húsvétján ment a késmárki líceumba, ahol 1827-ig maradt. Ekkor ismét Sárospatakra tért vissza, és itt maradt 1832-ig.

Hamar megmutatkozott költői érdeklődése. Művei fiatal kora ellenére megjelentek a Felső-magyarországi Minerva című folyóiratban. Korai írásain Kölcsey és Vörösmarty hatása érződik.

A reformkorban

1832-ben jogászként diplomázott, a nyilvános vizsga végén a szokásos nyilvános búcsúvételt ő teljesítette először magyarul. Ezután Borsodban négy hónapig gyakornok volt, ekkor az országgyűlési ifjúság tagja lett, szabadelvű reformokat támogatva. Később mint királyi táblai jegyző és ügyvéd működött. 1832-től 1834-ig Pozsonyban lakott.

Miután letette az ügyvédi vizsgáit, 1834 szeptemberében visszatért Borsodba, ahol decemberben tiszteletbeli aljegyzőnek választották, mely hivatalát 1836 tavaszáig viselte. Áprilisban az országgyűlés berekesztésén még jelen volt, májustól októberig Bécsben időzött, majd több rokona segítségével hosszabb külföldi körutazásra ment, több jelentős és fejlett várost meglátogatott (például Berlin, Amszterdam, Dublin, Lausanne), de Párizsban majdnem fél évet, Londonban pedig egy hónapot tartózkodott). Csehországon át beutazta Németország nagy részét, Franciaországot, Nagy-Britanniát és Írországot, Németalföldet, Belgiumot, a Rajna-vidéket, Svájcot, Bajorországot, és csak 1837 októberében tért vissza Bécsbe. Utazásai során szembesült azzal, hogy Magyarország a nyugathoz képest jóval elmaradottabb, és az országról kialakult külföldi kép mennyire hiányos és hibás. Úti élményeit és a külföldi demokratikus intézmények működéséről, felépítéséről esszéit színvonalas útinaplójában írta meg még Bécsben, és csak 1838. február elején tért haza. Bár a mű szerkesztett változata 1839-re elkészült, a cenzúra miatt a könyv kiadása egészen 1840-ig váratott magára.

1838-tól Borsod megyei táblabíró, majd 1841-től az egri járás főszolgabírája. 1843-ban megyei országgyűlési követ Palóczy László mellett.  1846-tól Borsod megye másodalispánja. Az 1843-44-es országgyűlésen jegyzőként tevékenykedik, a felíratok, válaszok és a törvényjavaslatok megfogalmazásában megmutatja jogászi és írói képességét. 1847-ben a borsodi követválasztáson közfelkiáltással választják meg megyei követnek. az 1843-44-es és az 1847-48-as reform országgyűlésen az ellenzék egyik jelentős vezéralakjává vált (az utóbbin az Országgyűlés jegyzőjévé is választották). A megyében több politikai, civil és kulturális egyesület létrehozója, szervezője, illetve vezetője. Így elnöke a Miskolci Casinónak, a Védegylet helyi csoportjának, az Olvasókörnek, a leégett színház újjáépítésére alakult társaságnak.

Szemere 1838 elejétől fogva felváltva hol Vattán, hol Pesten tartózkodott.

Útinaplója, az Utazás külföldön meghozta számára a sikert, a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia 1840. szeptember 5-én levelező tagjává választotta, és a könyv második kiadására is sor került.

Miniszter, kormánybiztos, miniszterelnök
Az 1848-as választáson Miskolc mezőváros országgyűlési képviselőjévé választották. Az alakuló Batthyány-kormányban belügyminiszter lett, s így az ő feladatai közé tartozott az új országgyűlés előkészítése is; őt magát három választókerületben is megválasztották, de a miskolci mandátumot fogadta el. Minisztersége alatt indult a kormány hivatalos lapja, a Közlöny. Az Országos Honvédelmi Bizottmányban az igazságügyért felelős pozíciót töltötte be. 1848 decemberében Felső-Magyarország kormánybiztosává nevezték ki, így Miskolcon részt vett a Franz von Schlik tábornok elől visszavonult felső-tiszai hadtest újjászervezésében. 1849. május 2-ától miniszterelnök és belügyminiszter Kossuth Lajos kormányzó mellett, egészen a kormány lemondásáig.

A Szemere-kormány

Hivatalba lépésük után megszüntették a statáriumot, visszarendelték a kormánybiztosokat, továbbfejlesztették a jobbágyfelszabadítást. 1849. július 28-án elfogadták a nemzetiségi törvényt, amely szabad nyelvhasználatot engedélyezett a nemzetiségeknek a helyi közigazgatásban és az oktatásban. Céljuk ezzel a nemzeti kisebbségek megnyerése volt a forradalom számára.

Emigrációban
A végveszély napjaiban Batthyány Kázmér gróf akkori külügyminiszterrel ő ment az orosz sereg fővezéréhez kiegyezést kieszközölni, azonban nem járt sikerrel. Még jelen volt azon az augusztus 11-én megrendezett aradi minisztertanácsi ülésen, ahol Görgeyt diktátorrá nevezték ki, és innen még azelőtt távozott, hogy Kossuthnak bejelentette volna kormánya lemondását.

Még részt vett az augusztus 11-i aradi minisztertanácsi ülésen, ahonnan még Kossuthnak a kormány lemondására vonatkozó bejelentése előtt távozott. A szabadságharc vezetői közül augusztus 24-én az utolsók között menekült..

A világosi fegyverletétel után a gondjaira bízott Szent Koronát és a koronázási ékszereket 1849. augusztus 23-án Orsova mellett, a Cserna torkolata alatt emelkedő Allion-hegy tövében, a Habsburg és az Oszmán Birodalom közötti senki földjén elásatta, amelyet később, 1853. szeptember 8-án egy román nemzetiségű magyar határőr, Ion Morosina talált meg.

Ezután Vidinbe, majd Konstantinápolyon, Athénon és Törökországon át, álnévre kiállított útlevelekkel, Hajnik Pál társaságában, akivel Görögország klasszikus földjét bejárta, tengeri úton Párizsba ment, ahol aztán sok akadály és egy évi várakozás után családjával egyesülve, több évig lakott szerény anyagi körülmények között. Az angol és a francia kormányhoz az osztrák törekvések ellen intézett felvilágosító emlékiratai és hírlapok útján dolgozott a magyar ügy érdekében.

1851-ben távollétében (in contumaciam) halálra ítélték.

Kiterjedt levelezést folytatott, támogatta a kiegyezést, ezért szembekerült Kossuthtal. A magyar emigráció, majd a Politikai jellemrajzok című írásában nyíltan támadta a szabadságharc vezetőit, elsősorban Kossuth Lajost. Szakított a Kossuth által követett iránytól, melyet kárhoztatott, és az 1859-es Pesti Hírnökben melegen ajánlotta az év október 20-ai császári kiadványok elfogadását, a jövőbeni fejlődés alapjául. 1862-ben pedig erősen kikelt a volt kormányzó által megpendített konföderáció terve ellen.

Emigrációban töltött évei alatt megírta Utazás keleten című útirajzát is.

Még inkább elkeserítették otthoni bajai, anyagi küzdelmei. Neje vagyonának megmentett részéből élt a család, és hogy ahhoz maga is hozzájáruljon, többféle irodalmi kiadványt tervezett. Előkészületeket tett az osztrák ház történetének megírására 1526-tól 1869-ig. Írt a nemzetiségi kérdésről is. Említést érdemel, hogy verseket is írt.

Sok időt töltött Angliában, hogy mint közvetítő magyarországi bortermelők és angol vevők között kapcsolatot alakítson ki, hazája borkereskedését előmozdítva. Mindezzel alig tudott segíteni anyagi gondjain. Szerencsétlen üzleti vállalkozásba bocsátkozott, a Boldényi név alatt Párizsban lakó Szabó Pál is rászedte, neje vagyona nagy részét is elvesztette. Ez annyira megviselte, hogy 1862-ben a londoni kiállításon magyar biztosi minőségben töltött kilenc hónap után, kínos betegségbe, gyógyíthatatlan elmezavarba esett. Neje és befolyásos barátai amnesztiát eszközöltek ki számára, Szemere pedig 1865. január 24-én Pestre érkezett. A Batizfalvy gyógyintézetben helyezték el, és állapota folyvást rosszabbodott, dührohamai a Schwartzer-szanatóriumban csak súlyosbodtak.

1869. január 18-án reggel 4 órakor hunyt el. Budán, a krisztinavárosi sírkertben temették el január 19-én délután, a református egyház szertartása szerint, de – végrendelete értelmében – 1871. május 1-jén Miskolcra szállították hamvait, és ott az avasi templom temetőjében helyezték örök nyugalomra.

A Magyar Tudományos Akadémián 1876-ban Horvát Boldizsár tartott fölötte emlékbeszédet.

Házassága és gyermekei
1846 tavaszán vette feleségül piliszántói Jurkovich Leopoldinát (1829–1865), piliszántói Jurkovich Mátyás (1776–1847), magyar királyi udvar ügyvivő, táblabíró, és Comper Teréz lányát. A házasságukból hat gyermeke született, azonban csak három érte el a felnőttkort.
 Szemere Mária (Miskolc, 1847. január 25.–†?). Férje Freeman John.
 Szemere Gizella (Párizs, 1857–1914). Férje, fajkürthi és kolthai Kürthy Emil (1848–1920) újságíró, dédunokája Magyar Bálint színháztörténész, ükunokái Magyar Bálint politikus és Magyar Fruzsina dramaturg.
 Szemere Attila (Párizs, 1859–1905), országgyűlési képviselő. Felesége Morawitz Henrietta.

Emlékezete
 Miskolcon róla nevezték el a Szemere Bertalan utcát. Ózdon és Nyékládházán szintén utca viseli a nevét.
 Miskolcon a róla készült egész alakos szobrot, Róna József alkotását, a Szemere-kertben helyezték el.
 Szemere Bertalan az avasi református temetőben nyugszik, fia, Attila társaságában.
 Miskolcon a Miskolci Szakképzési Centrum Szemere Bertalan Szakgimnáziuma, Szakközépiskolája és Kollégiuma viseli a nevét.
 Dombóváron is áll Szemere Bertalan-emlékmű.
 Az országban számos iskolát neveztek el róla.
