They did it! Anna and Erez got married! And we had a fabulous time celebrating...
I arrived in Memphis around noon and after meeting up with Julie in the airport, reunited with my Jacob, which made me ridiculous happy and not even a little bit irritated that Stacy's flight was delayed and we had to wait. Over drinks in one of the airport's eleven Starbucks, I entertained Julie and Jake by explaining my seatmates on the airplane – two identical obese twins wearing Hard Rock Café t-shirts who munched on Snickers bars for three and a half hours straight. After finally retrieving Stacy, Jake took us to our hotel, conveniently located RIGHT ON Beale Street (this would prove important later), and then whisked me off to tour Memphis and enjoy lunch with his Mom (who I finally met after five years of being Jacob's best friend) and his sister Sophie, who I adore. Lunch was delish – my sandwich had creamed spinach ON IT (nope, never saw that before) – the only downside was he didn't allow me to order a fried pickle. Guess I'm gonna have to do that the next time I'm in Memphis, which should be ASAP, since I refuse to be separated from Jacob for months at a time anymore.
He took me back to the hotel and I rejoined all the friends and we all got dressed up for the rehearsal dinner, which was at this place called EP's Delta Kitchen. We enjoyed appetizers and cocktails on the roof of the restaurant, then headed downstairs for dinner and speeches. I of course felt the need to make a speech, even though I did not have one planned, so Jeremy and I got up there and talked for a little bit – representing the rest of the Arizona crew who did not have the balls to get onstage. We did say some nice things – I was slightly intoxicated but remembered wanting to convey my happiness that Erez had seamlessly fit into the group. Jeremy mentioned how originally he had not been pleased when Anna and I had set him and Erez up on a playdate, but now he appreciates it, because Erez is his friend too, not just Anna's fiancé. You are welcome, Jeremy. Told you it would all work out.
Then we watched a slideshow that Susan put together, and then it was time to SHAKE IT! All of the Arizona people, Jacob's Camp people, HUC people, and other random Jews blew it up on the dance floor. We danced and drank a LOT of wine at EP's before Jacob collected everyone and moved us onto Beale, which was CRAZY. I LOVE the South. Every guy was hot and had a hot accent and was wearing some hot seersuckery/linen ensemble…mmm. After a little while at a bar called Silky's (which Jacob says he goes to all the time) we dragged our drunk asses back to the hotel, conveniently located ten steps away, and passed out.
Saturday we woke up bright and unnecessarily early and headed out to explore Memphis in the HUNDRED DEGREE HEAT WITH HUNDRED PERCENT HUMIDITY. Literally I was melting like a tiny M&M. NOT CUTE. A bunch of us walked through downtown Memphis to grab some Memphis barbeque at Rendezvous – to be honest, we were not big fans, but I think that was probably because most of the group was from Texas and Texas and Tennessee have some sort of random barbeque rivalry. I dunno. My sausage plate was good. We ran around Beale for a while, eating ice cream, taking photos and doing touristy things like standing on top of the balls at the FedEx Forum (ok, maybe I was the only one who couldn't stand on the ball and had to kneel), then came back to the hotel and gathered in the hospitality suite to eat cookies and play hangman with everyone – which was SO fun!
Then it was time to get ready for the wedding! We arrived downstairs looking GORGEOUS and started taking photos. (Several times over the weekend I felt it was necessary to explain our behavior to some of the other wedding guests, telling them, "This is what we do – we drink a lot and we take a lot of pictures.") The bus arrived to take us to the temple and we hopped on – cue 25 minutes of us sweating profusely in the non-air conditioned bus and Jacob literally mopping sweat off his face like a grandpa with a handkerchief. When we finally got there, we quickly took our seats outside, started fanning ourselves with the fans Anna so generously provided for us, and THEN THE WEDDING STARTED!
It was beautiful. I didn't think I was going to cry, but when Anna walked down the aisle, I needed Jacob's handkerchief. I could NOT believe it was finally happening! She looked amazing, Erez looked snazzy in his suit, and in about 20 minutes, it was over and my very first friend was married! (SHOUT OUT 1409 – WE WON! FIRST MARRIAGE IN THE GROUP!)
The actual wedding was great – there were speeches, cake, and a ton of dancing, just the way we like it! Jacob and I tore up the dance floor and he only had to yell at me a few times for stepping on his toes. After the wedding, we took the bus back to the hotel, changed into flipflops, and headed back onto Beale Street, which was… quite different than the previous night, to say the least. I can't really describe it, but Jacob had to hold my hand. We hung out at AC Pat O's drinking and dancing (the band played Take Me Out to the Ballgame – wtf?) and then the Marrieds showed up! As we all walked back to the hotel, I said to Anna, "This is the happiest night of your life. You will remember this night forever. It is supposed to be incredibly special and memorable – and you're ending it the way you always end it, walking home with your drunk friends trying to find food!" I think she and Erez got the hint – they left right after!
I wish I could say the night ended there, but it was 3:30am and we were damn hungry, so room service was ordered and some late night visitors – namely, Ziggy and Ben Berman (Anna's camp friends) joined us in our room to eat, laugh, and talk… oh, and Ben took his shirt off and showed us how he can lactate. Yes, you read that right – at 4am in Memphis, Tennessee, I watched a 23 year old man squeeze milk out of his nipples.
After the lactation incident and the screaming that came with it, we only got a few hours of sleep. Sunday morning we headed off for the brunch and then sadly said our goodbyes :( I hate when we are all together and we have to say goodbye. Anyways, after the brunch everyone left… I had booked an evening flight so I could spend more time with Jake. He took me on a tour of his house, we hung out with Soph, and I met his daddy, before he decided to take me to lunch in MISSISSIPPI! Yes, I can now say I have been to Mississippi. Thanks Jake. Then we effed around downtown Memphis for a while, hung out at his apartment, and watched like six hours of Memphis Barbeque cooking shows on Food Network before he took me to the airport.
All in all a pretty fabulous weekend. I am never happier than on weekends when we are all together and I am always depressed the next few days thinking about how much I love and miss everyone… I love my friends so much. Anna and Erez, I am SO happy for you and I am SO glad you live in LA so I can see you whenever I want to! Enjoy Vegas you crazy kids :) and come home soon so we can play!

Body of retired University of Maryland professor found in creek

COLLEGE PARK – The body of a retired University of Maryland associate professor of business, who has been missing since March, was found Saturday morning near the Indian Creek Trail at Lake Artemesia.
"We have identified the victim as Stan Fromovitz, 80, of the 6500 block of Westchester Park Drive in Greenbelt," said Director of Media Relations for the Prince George's County Police Department Jennifer Donelan. "He was reported missing on March 13.
"We did an extensive search of Greenbelt National Park, which is next to his apartment complex, as well as checked area hospitals. We also checked to see if they were any bank transactions."
Around 9:30 a.m. on April 1, students from the University of Maryland were taking part in the annual College Park Good Neighbor Day community cleanup event when they found Fromovitz in a creek which flows into Lake Artemesia.
National Capitol Park Police, along with patrol units and detectives from the Prince George's County Police Department, were called to the scene. Units from the College Park and Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Departments also helped out.
Firefighters from both departments were able to pull Fromovitz's body from the creek where police took over the investigation.
"We don't think he had any health problems, but we have to see what the medical examiner has to say," Donelan said. "We also believe there was no foul play."

i'm so sorry to hear you lost your beloved pet - and that she may have been poisoned?!? how dreadful....... and my condolences--ReplyDelete
it sounds as though you have several more to tend to which is some comfort -- best of luck on protecting them from the same fate as Bess~
That's no way to talk about your beloved daughters! Think I shall have to keep a closer eye on your blogs! You may be my father, but your still young enough for a good thrashing. Hugs and stuff Senks xReplyDelete
Thanks for calling in Senka (this is the one that little monkey Biba may have been referring to), but you don't have time to read Dr Awsom's profundities - get back to your hoovering.ReplyDelete
Don't worry Biba my little angel, the old Papous will post a beautiful picture of you soon.
I love your beautiful belles! And am so very sad to hear about your dear Bess. Much love and condolences, Bob. xxReplyDelete
Hi Bob. I'm really sorry I haven't been dropping in more often, I don't even drop in on my own blog too regularly either so please don't take it personally. I'm soo sorry to hear of the loss of your cat - I know it's difficult to lose a pet (lost my dog to cancer last year) but it does get easier. Stay strong.ReplyDelete
Thanks for dropping in Boo - your new theme with WP is just up my street, and to anticipate your next post is a pleasure. You have been missing your dog for sure; dogs have more 'presence' than any other pet I think. Take care.ReplyDelete
So sorry to hear about Bess. They do leave such a hole in your heart and your life. It takes a while to get past the sorrow and focus on the funny things they did.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry to have read about Bess, and to lose her to poison as you believe is particularly cruel. I was witness to the death of my own cat many years ago to the next door neighbour's pitbull. I didn't look too kindly on him for quite some time, I can tell you. You will be able to remember the good stuff in time and thankfully you have the others to keep you company. I wish you well.ReplyDelete
Thank you Winifred and Pie. Your kind words are appreciated.ReplyDelete
Aw...I'm so sorry for your loss Bob! I know you will miss your kitty. She was part of your family. Keep her alive in your memory, and take care!ReplyDelete

Kevin and Susan both worked for the same multi-national pharmaceutical company for decades and had recently retired when we met. They were introduced to Patton Funds via a close friend who had been a client of Patton's for about 10 years.
Both Kevin and Susan enjoyed and continue to enjoy retirement but were anxious about their investments. When they became clients of ours in early 2010, the financial crisis of 2008-2009 was still a vivid memory. It had nearly paralyzed them with fear.
The vast majority of their liquid investments had been accumulated in their former employer's retirement plan. They had an existing relationship with an advisor at Merrill Lynch who recommended they rollover their retirement plan money into IRAs. This was good advice but that's were the good advice stopped.
We did a custom analysis of their portfolio at the time and what we found was very disappointing. Because of their fear of investing following the financial crisis, their Merrill advisor had 60% of their portfolio in cash, another 25% in bonds, and just 15% in stocks.
Kevin, Susan, and I had extensive conversation about their financial circumstances. I learned that they had a fairly conservative lifestyle. Furthermore, they both would receive a pension from their former employer for the remainder of their lives. This pension income combined with social security meets all of their financial needs. This made it evident that their aversion to investment risk was not due to the impact of a financial loss but instead the psychological impact of their portfolio losing value. This often is the case.
The psychological fear that Kevin and Susan were feeling was real and entirely understandable. That said, 85% of a portfolio invested in cash and bonds is not a prudent investment decision for any investor with a 2-3 decade time horizon (especially knowing they had no financial need for the money).
Maximum Drawdown – this is one of many measures of risk. It measures the biggest % decline that occurred from any peak to trough over any length of time. For example, since 1972 the S&P 500 (a measure of U.S. stock performance) has had a Maximum Drawdown of -51%. This occurred from the peak in October 2007 through the trough in February 2009. The S&P 500 has had other similar drawdowns since 1972 (the bear market of 1973-1974, the 1987 crash, and the 2000-2002 bear market) but none worse than 2008.
A well-designed diversified portfolio should not decline as much a just the stock market during bear markets…that's the purposes of diversification. One good way to gauge an investor's risk tolerance is to consider the Maximum Drawdown they would be able to endure during a rough bear market. Then is it critical to build a portfolio accordingly.
As we continued our conversation about their risk tolerance, a statistic we discussed was maximum drawdown. This is a measure of the worst loss a portfolio would have experienced. After lengthy conversations, they decided that losing 20% of their portfolio value during a bear market like 2008-2009 would have been tolerable (a bear market that produced a 50%+ loss for stocks).
We designed a Super-Diversified Portfolio for Kevin and Susan that fit their risk tolerance. There is certainly no guarantee that it will decline no more than 20% during future bear markets but analysis of 45 years of historic data indicates that would have been the case over that period.
Kevin and Susan have now been clients for several years. They have recognized substantial gains in their portfolio. We regularly discuss their risk tolerance and given the gains, they decided to increase it. They felt more comfortable knowing that when we do have a bear market, that much of what they may lose would be gains which makes it easier for them the psychologically handle. We redesigned their portfolio to fit this higher risk tolerance.
Miserable bear markets like the financial crisis of 2008 can leave investors paralyzed. Unfortunately this can result in tremendous forgone profits that can dramatically reduce long-term accumulation of wealth. Like Kevin and Susan, all investors need to really figure out what their tolerance for risk is and make sure they have a portfolio that is designed accordingly.

ATLANTA — AIDS Healthcare Foundation held a teleconference today to present a recent embargoed UCLA research study of several hundred adult film performers.
According to AHF, the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health research study (still pending publication) confirms the health risks — including high STD risk — facing many porn actors working in the industry.
Results of the study were presented (in poster form) today at the CDC's 2014 STD Prevention Conference in Atlanta.
The survey of 366 active porn performers, which used a dual methodology of self-reports and lab testing, showed that 24 percent of participants tested positive for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Sixty-nine percent reported that they had not used a condom onset in the last 30 days. A majority (75 percent) of the participants were female.
The study did not collect data on the population's other STD infections, including herpes, syphilis and HIV, reportedly due to a funding shortage that would not cover additional lab tests and infection treatment.
AHF President Michael Weinstein called the study "very pertinent to the current discussion of legislation in Sacramento," referring of course to the statewide porn-condom initiative AB 1576.
Previously embargoed, the AHF-touted study that looked at data collected from August 2012–July 2013 couldn't have been released at a more pertinent time — AB 1576 will be heard in about two weeks by the California Senate Labor Committee on June 25.
"Pornographers have worked hard to obscure the facts as they relate to the spread of STDs in the adult film industry and, as AIDS Health Foundation has said on many occasions, the primary issue we've been addressing in relationship to the industry is the risk of STDs, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis, rather than HIV," Weinstein said at the conference.
However, AB 1576's sponsor Assemblyman Isadore Hall has referred to recent undocumented onset transmissions of HIV at most, if not all, of the bill's hearings.
Carrying a particularly shameful connotation, the study pitted scene type (DP, double anal, gangbang, cream pie, double vaginal, fisting and rimming) against rate of STD infection — apparently designating some scene types as more "intense" and "risky" — and found a significant association between type of scene, infection and the age of the performer.
Adam Carl Cohen, AHF's public health consultant who broke the study down at the conference, freely interpreted the findings, "Being an older performer and not doing the more intense scenes, and again I won't get graphic, were protected against infection. Meaning that if you are younger, or if you are doing a more risky scene, that there is a statistically significant greater likelihood of infection." He did not mention confounding factors like drug use and off-set sexual practices, and did not explain why the measure was of interest to AHF or its political agenda.
Encompassing a scope far greater than just the prevalence of STDs in the porn performer pool, the study looked at self-reports of physical, emotional and drug-related abuse in the industry, leading Weinstein to conclude that "there's an environment of abuse in this industry, which clearly reflect the need for statewide regulation."
According to the study, 33.2-percent of participants had used a drug in the past three months (tests revealed that 58.7-percent on the incidents were marijuana-related). It also revealed that 15.4 percent of respondents said thay had to perform sexual favors to secure work and 13.6 percent said have had to perform a sex act they did not want to.
Without any supporting empirical research at hand, Weinstein also discounted female performers' claims of genital chafing and pain associated with condom use that has been voiced at recent hearings on AB 1576.
"When you look, and I won't go into graphic detail here, but when you look at the practices that these performers are involved in, obviously their bodies take a lot more abuse than would be there with condoms," Weinstein said. "And this idea of chafing is something that's really unheard of in public health."
AHF compiled the study's results into an infographic.

Recently I was invited to sit through a half-day of training session (about how companies can attract and retain the best and the brightest) by a seminar organizer who has read the book I recently published, "Learning to Reinvent Ourselves: How to Make the Philippines a Winner in the 21st Century." And the two who led the session both had worked for Japanese companies and had an "outward-looking" (not parochial) perspective. There is no question that we are up-to-date with management techniques and that our enterprises are keen to train and develop their people and raise the caliber of their organizations.
I was later tasked to integrate the session. Instead of repeating the sound bites I heard, I asked the group of around 30 two questions: (1) who has never ever been to Starbucks, and (2) who does not have an Apple product. And in both cases no one raised their hands. The conclusion simply is both Starbucks and Apple are highly competitive. Because the 30 participants couldn't ask the group the same questions about their respective companies and get a perfect score like those two global brands. And I asked a couple of more questions: (1) does your typical employee know your organization's reason for being, and (2) can your enterprise claim competitive advantage. And again in both cases no one raised their hands.
And it applies to PHL. If competition is people Juan de la Cruz cannot claim competitive advantage? Because we keep looking at others instead of ourselves whenever we talk about our underdevelopment? We are underdeveloped because we are uncompetitive? What did our business community tell the NCC (National Competitiveness Council) is the challenge to our competitiveness – that it takes too much time to register a business or obtain business licenses and permits? What about Juan de la Cruz – is he the challenge to our competitiveness? Competition is people? We're proud being among the happiest people on earth – but the widespread poverty and being stuck as a Third-World nation is our destiny?
Shooting the breeze with some of the participants, it wasn't surprising to hear that people have yet to share the optimism of the administration though there was a unanimous vote of confidence re the uprightness of the president. But someone from the energy sector would declare: "We don't have the political will to address the power crisis. It looks as though we are champions of free enterprise but the reality is we don't have an energy master plan and don't have the political will to craft one and doggedly pursue it." How can we then focus on industrialization – like the 7 strategic industries from the (JFC) Joint Foreign Chambers?
Competitiveness remains abstract to us because a number of our enterprises haven't defined what success or what winning is – because our culture has defined it for them by rewarding influence peddling and oligopoly? And so PHL is not synonymous to a dynamic economy and nation? Entrepreneurship is opportunistic yet even a Starbucks demonstrates dynamism in its business model. When a couple of entrepreneurs sought advice about an opportunity, I asked a series of questions to guide them sketch a simple business model – and they readily realized the gaps in their thought process. I also discussed the fundamentals of product architecture modeling and encouraged them "to stay ahead of the innovation curve" – and be forward-thinking. And they thought it was what many old-Filipino businesses missed and thus are no longer around.
But another business group would give reason for optimism – when the family owners had decided to leave the business to one family member and with the collective decision to professionalize the organization. When I first heard about it I was skeptical until I was introduced to one of the foreigners they had hired. "We mean what we say, we cast a global net to find the best talents, and you will meet a few more of them." In the previous life of two of the professional managers, I had consulted with their then company (that was the industry leader) and in this new environment one is the president, the other his deputy; and the owner confines himself to the monthly board meetings, where the president reports on his efforts. If indeed this family has reinvented itself, this is the kind of political will we need to reinvent PHL. And we can start with the power crisis.

We have a very special family tradition of always getting a puzzle that the family has to put together during the Holidays. We have so much fun trying to out do each other by finding the most pieces or that one piece that can not be found. There is something very satisfying and just a little sad when you place the last piece.
Puzzles are certainly a fun activity to do, alone or with a group of people at any age. When it comes to the benefits that it offers young children, puzzles really help with their problem solving skills, language skills, pattern recognition, logic and hand-eye coordination.
Puzzles are great toys that parents can also use as early learning tools to teach children their numbers, shapes and the alphabet. The Melissa and Doug ABC, Numbers, and Shapes Peg Puzzles are certainly a fun way for children to be exposed to their numbers and letters.
Puzzles are also amazing at helping children develop problem solving skills which they will use for all their lives. Jigsaw puzzles are great for this because children need to identify patterns and must place the pieces in the correct way for it to fit. It is best to introduce jigsaw puzzles to children who are two and older, starting with the easier ones and working up to more complex ones with more pieces.
When I first introduced jigsaw puzzles to my daughter, it was incredibly interesting to see her select the correct piece and then try to fit it to the puzzle. In the beginning she would always try to position it wrong, it was interesting to see that she would be guided by colour and trying to match the colour in the piece with the other one. When it did not work she would turn it around and try again. I have found that good jigsaw puzzles will be cut in such a way as to help the child work through it in a logical way. For example, the Playful Pets Jigsaw puzzle is cut so that it is easy for the child to identify the face of the animals and then the other parts of their bodies. This makes it easy for children to start the puzzle selecting one of the animals and working their way to to all the others. It also helps that all the animals are a distinct colour which helps them recognize the puzzle pieces and know that the yellow ones belong to the bird and so on.
For younger children, the best puzzles are ones that have few pieces, have large knobs for them to hold and even have a picture underneath the puzzle piece to help them in the beginning. These puzzles are great for children one year and up and it will help them with their hand-eye coordination because they will have to put the piece in the slot. Like all puzzles it also helps them with their judgment and reasoning . Parents can also take an opportunity to teach them the names of the objects that are found on the puzzle. With the Melissa & Doug Large Farm Jumbo Knob puzzle, parents can teach their children the names of the farm animals. As the child gets older, they can use it to sing to Old MacDonald and get the child to point to a farm animal and make their corresponding sounds. A fun game that helps children learn so much.
Along with blocks, puzzles are toys that are a must have in any play room. There is a puzzle for children of all ages and skill level. There is always something exciting about opening up that puzzle box, taking stock of all the pieces scattered and getting started.

Had a bit of co-sleeping going on last night. Shou coming into our bed and keeping me holding on to the side of the bed so I didn't get kicked off. Queen size bed not big enough for two adults and a toddler who likes sleeping sideways. Marina, Shou and I were up and eating breakfast by ten past six.
The concrete has been put off due to non existant typhoon that was supposedly coming through our way. It would appear, that had I not phoned the concrete man myself, I would not have been informed of such important information and probably would have turned up at concrete laying site today with tea and cookies for morning tea. As it happens, the muffin things I bought yesterday won't be good for giving them next friday - which means they will have to be consumed by persons in this house, namely hub, who is munching one right now and me - who had one for afternoon tea so holding back.
My friend in NZ who is doing diet too rang today and we both had crap week - hers better than mine though as she stayed same where as I put on - due to scary big spider experience that meant had to consume ten cakes, twelve pies, and eight beers in a row to slow my heart down and decrease my blood pressure - all from fright of course. The critter hasn't returned so maybe it really did go out the door like it was told last night. What a good little Japanese woman spider it was. Had it been mammoth foreign woman spider it would have told hub to fuck right off. This was her house god damn it and no way was she being told to head quietly out the front door. And for good measure she would take her thousand children with her where ever she pleased and hub couldn't stop her.
To compensate for lack of spider in house the insect community must have decided needed some kind of presence at least - so this morning when I came down stairs I found a frog and a grasshopper type thing in the kitchen - I kid you not. But christ, after seeing spider size of small pacific island the night before the frog and grasshoper were a welcome change. Infact - Shou had a nature class right there in the kitchen.
Hub just realised he was on recharging the fire truck's pump duty. He has forgotten. This is first time I have heard of such duties so not entirely convinced isn't his victor victor charlie charlie for half an hour at pachinko. Regardless - if there is a fire in our local area tonight the fire truck wont be a pumping. Won't be the only thing not a pumping. After the scary spider incident I let hub take advantage of me and now I am standing my gaijin wife ground. No more giving out to the man who tells me he will 'never let me take the kids to NZ if we get divorced' - until at least Sunday night.
I still have bit of steam coming out right ear after that comment. I heard that in Japan it is now necessary to produce a letter from the father of your children if you are taking them out of the country on your own - is to stop abductions and such by woman sick of putting up with twat Japanese husbands. I imagine it could be typed and just inkaned though. Hmmmm, might be good idea to have one of those set aside for rainy day.
So, before I forget, the passports. I sent application for Marina's New Zealand passport off about a month ago. I got a bit worried was taking too long and that application was in fact still somewhere in back of Kunimi post office or in the Netherlands. After checking online banking found out that NZ end had obviously received application and processed it so just waiting for it to get back here. Just got a call tonight from customs control or whatever in Tokyo - wondering why was sending passports. Told them was topclass drug dealer and Marina was my main seller. Then I said in Japanese that I was just trying to get Marina a passport so could leave country with both kids any time wanted.
Passports on there way to Kunimi as I type.
Right, maybe will have early night - but absolutely no giving out. Promise.
Oh Shit, maybe just a bit.

By Ali Martin at Trent Bridge on July 13th, 2017
England's Joe Root eager for South Africa to provide stiffer challenges• Captain wants batsmen to 'get bit between their teeth' more often
• Retains faith in Gary Ballance to come good at No3 in second Test
Joe Root admitted a small part of him is looking forward to greater challenges as the England captain, with the expectation South Africa will show their true colours when the Test series resumes in Nottingham on Friday.
Root enjoyed an ideal start to his Test captaincy at Lord's last week, scoring 190 in the first innings before his side went on to wrap up a win by 211 runs inside four days. It has resulted in an unchanged team for Trent Bridge, where England have won six of their past seven Tests.Continue reading...

Administration moves to bolster food safety net
July 8, 2009
Noam N. Levey
The Obama administration took a step toward modernizing the nation's faltering system for protecting the food supply on Tuesday, announcing new regulations to curb the spread of salmonella in eggs and naming a new food watchdog at the Food and Drug Administration. The changes follow President Obama's pledge to modernize a chronically underfunded and understaffed safety system that has repeatedly failed to control outbreaks of food-borne illness. -- What will egg producers be required to do?
L.A. County food-truck safety program leaves a bad taste in the mouth
April 7, 2014
David Lazarus
If you've eaten from a food truck or cart in Los Angeles County, chew on this: About 40% of the roughly 3,200 food trucks and carts cooking up meals in the area have never been inspected in the field by health officials since letter grades were introduced three years ago. And most of the remaining 60% have been checked out only once a year, even though official guidelines call for at least two annual field inspections. How do I know that? Because Angelo Bellomo, director of environmental health for the county Department of Public Health, told me so. He oversees inspections of all eateries, including mobile ones.

Re "Safe peanut butter, and more," Editorial, Nov. 29 As someone who has eaten several brands of peanut butter made at the now-shuttered Sunland Inc. plant in Portales, N.M., I easily could have been one of the 40-plus people sickened by the salmonella-tainted peanut butter the plant sent out. The blame for not fully implementing last year's Food Safety Modernization Act may rest with E. coli conservatives in the Republican Party, so-called...
Center for Food Safety sues USDA over genetically modified alfalfa
March 13, 2014
By David Pierson
A food safety group filed a lawsuit in hopes of forcing the U.S. Department of Agriculture to release documents in court that could explain why the federal agency approved genetically engineered alfalfa despite its misgivings about environmental safety. The Washington-based Center for Food Safety said Thursday the USDA may have come under pressure by seed giant Monsanto Co. to grant approval of its Roundup Ready alfalfa, which is designed to withstand multiple applications of herbicide.

Report calls for new food safety oversight
March 26, 2009
Mary MacVean
Adding to the chorus seeking an overhaul of the nation's food safety system, a report issued Wednesday called on the Obama administration to put someone in charge of safeguarding the food supply and to create a Food Safety Administration. The food safety system is "plagued with problems," said Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust for America's Health, which released the report in conjunction with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
FDA revises new food safety rules after farmers object
December 19, 2013
By David Pierson
Sweeping new federal food safety regulations proposed this year will be revised because of an outcry of concern by farmers, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. In an agency blog post , Michael Taylor, deputy commissioner for foods at the FDA, said rules addressing food-borne illness in production sites and farms included in the Food Safety Modernization Act will be revised and reviewed by early summer. A public comment period, which had ended in November, will be reopened.
Food Safety
December 18, 1989
As a nutrition professional I wish to point out that the article by Warren J. Belaso "American Diet: Tough Habit to Break" (Medicine/Science, Dec. 11) contained many statements which do not reflect the views of nutrition scientists or registered dietitians. Supermarket food safety is reliable and if "73% in one poll" continued to think this despite the Alar pesticide scare, then they are following recommendations of nutrition professionals, not food faddists who imply the contrary. When Belaso suggests "healthy food is generally more expensive than the basic supermarket variety," he is promoting the food faddist myth that nutritious and wholesome foods are only available for a special few at a high price.
Hurricane Sandy: Food safety, closed stores, anti-price gouging
October 29, 2012
By Tiffany Hsu
Hurricane Sandy is bearing down hard on the East Coast. Atlantic City, N.J., casinos have been evacuated. Jersey Shore is abandoned. Some Manhattan streets are starting to flood. The mega-storm has already smashed through construction sites, shut down stores and Wall Street and left even jaded residents slightly panicky. Vendors of essential items such as food, water, gas and batteries are prohibited from price-gouging during the tempest, warned New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Planned food safety rules rile organic farmers
February 22, 2014
By Evan Halper
HUSTONTOWN, Pa. - Jim Crawford was rushing to load crates of freshly picked organic tomatoes onto trucks heading for an urban farmers market when he noticed the federal agent. A tense conversation followed as the visitor to his farm - an inspector from the Food and Drug Administration - warned him that some organic-growing techniques he had honed over four decades could soon be outlawed. "This is my badge. These are the fines. This is what is hanging over your head, and we want you to know that," Crawford says the official told him. Crawford's popular farm may seem a curious place for the FDA to move ahead with a long-planned federal assault on deadly food poisoning.
Nearly 9 million pounds of beef recalled by Northern California firm
February 10, 2014
By Ricardo Lopez
Details of where nearly 9 million pounds of beef products recalled Saturday by a Northern California slaughtering plant were sold were scarce Monday, but a preliminary list of retailers shows that many were Latino meat markets. Rancho Feeding Corp. of Petaluma on Saturday announced a recall of 8.7 million pounds of beef products processed at its plant over the last year and sold in California and three other states. They included whole carcasses, beef tongue, head, tripe and oxtail - cuts of meat widely used in Latino cuisine.
Congress sends 5-year, $1-trillion farm bill to President Obama
February 4, 2014
By Lisa Mascaro and Michael A. Memoli
WASHINGTON - In a rare display of bipartisanship, Congress gave final approval Tuesday to a nearly $1-trillion farm bill, a hard-fought compromise that sets policy over agricultural subsidies, nutrition programs and the food stamp safety net for the next five years. The Senate approved the measure, 68-32, as a cross-section of farm state senators from both parties fought opposition from budget hawks and some liberals and sent the bill to the White House for President Obama's signature.

Lawmakers urge that Chinese poultry be blocked from school lunches
December 18, 2013
By David Pierson
Fourteen bipartisan members of the House of Representatives urged lawmakers Wednesday to block Chinese poultry from school lunches and other national nutrition programs because of the country's poor food safety record. In a letter , the 12 Democratic representatives and two Republicans called for language in the 2014 agriculture appropriations bill to ensure chicken processed in China is not included in the national school lunch program, the school breakfast program, the child and adult care food program and the summer food service program.
Bipartisan group seeks to bar Chinese chicken from nutrition programs
December 18, 2013
By David Pierson
A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is trying to bar Chinese poultry from federal school lunch and other nutrition programs because of China's poor record on food safety. On Wednesday, 12 Democratic representatives and two Republicans called for language in the 2014 agriculture appropriations bill to ensure that chicken processed in China is not included in the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Child and Adult Care Food and Summer Food Service programs. "Children are our most vulnerable population with respect to food-borne illnesses and sensitivity to potentially dangerous chemicals," the lawmakers said in a letter to fellow members of Congress.
House approves food safety bill
December 22, 2010
By Andrew Zajac
The House on Tuesday gave final approval to a landmark food safety bill designed to update the system for protecting the nation's food supply and equip the Food and Drug Administration with the tools needed to monitor a complex supply chain that stretches around the world. President Obama was scheduled to sign the measure into law almost immediately. But the historic effort may run into trouble next year over an old problem ? money. The current bill does not establish a secure funding system, and Republicans, who will soon have control of the House and expanded numbers in the Senate, have made cutting government spending a high priority.
USDA outlines plan to fight salmonella
December 4, 2013
By David Pierson
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has outlined a broad plan to combat salmonella. But some food safety advocates say it doesn't do enough to combat a pathogen responsible for 1.3 million illnesses in the U.S. each year. The push has taken on new urgency this year after a salmonella outbreak tied to Foster Farms poultry from plants in central California sickened at least 389 people nationwide. The outbreak exhibited an especially virulent strain of salmonella that showed signs of resistance to antibiotics.
Best way to cook stuffing? Experts offer Thanksgiving safety tips
November 23, 2013
By David Pierson
With millions of turkeys thawing and piles of stuffing waiting to be prepared, Thanksgiving is one of the riskiest times of year for food safety. Bacteria can be lurking anywhere in crowded holiday kitchens, spread by cross contamination or undercooked food. That's why epidemiologists see a spike in food-borne illness in November and December. Companies such as poultry producer Butterball join government agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in stepping up efforts to educate consumers about the potential dangers of the annual fall feast.

Abby has been so kind in helping me delve into deeper thoughts about my issues and she has steered me toward other ideas I hadn't had.

Sundance is well underway in Park City, Utah and while we've been keeping a close eye on all the movies premiering, we've also been monitoring everyone's beauty game out in the snowy tundra.
There are a ton of totally, 100% wearable looks—things are pretty low-key in Utah, after all—from a bunch of our faves. Since you may be cooped up inside for the next few days—#Snowmageddon2015, amirite?—now is the perfect time to practice putting on your eyeliner. When you emerge from the comfort of your home on Wednesday, you'll be totally #covermoment ready.
Chanel ImanGetty Images
LBR, it's pretty easy to look flawless when you're Chanel Iman, but her nude lip and dark liner combo is excellent. Normally, it'd seem pretty ~risky~ to pair totally clean skin and a matching lip, but Chanel pulls it off seamlessly.
Mindy KalingGetty Images
Mindy Kaling's bright red lip makes it seem like, um, maybe the cold isn't even that bad? Since her lips are making a major statement, Mindy kept her eye game subtle, with a subtle silver sparkle.
Hailee SteinfeldGetty Images
Like Chanel Iman, Hailee Steinfeld opted for totally dewey skin—she paired her tawny blush to her lips and the overall effect is gorgeous. Topping off the look, though, is Hailee's insane—I mean, DANG—lashes. If being in the cold encourages lash growth, BRB, I'm moving to Alaska.
Alison BrieGetty Images
Alison Brie—probably unintentionally?—matched her rose lip color to the backdrop color of the step-and-repeat almost exactly. Adding further evidence to my cold = lash growth theory, Alison's lashes are equally as enviable as Hailee's and paired with a very subtle copper shimmer.

A Deep Gnome with an interest in gambling
A middle-aged Deep Gnome who was a prisoner at Velkynvelve.
While emptying out the chamber pots, Jimjar told Anselm about the gray ooze in the cesspool which attacked a few prisoners a few days earlier when they stayed too close to the water. He suggested that they try to trick Dukat to get the drow guard into the water to get the attention of the ooze. He wagered a bet with Anselm stating that whoever succeeded would give the other their scavenged possessions. During the skirmish, he stayed away from from the fight.
He kept his word and showed Anelm an iron bar which could be used as a club hidden inside the wall of the cell, behind a stone. When Mistress Ilvara demanded the main perpetrator for the fight at the pool, Anselm pushed Jimjar forward, who fervently denied that he was at fault. He was thrown off the ledge to made as an example to the rest of the prisoners, much to the shock and guilt of the others, Anselm in particular.

a little of the Royal Wedding
Hello 🙂
Did any of you wake up at 2am today to watch the royal wedding?
I did hehe 😀 Actually I didn't go to sleep at all. I stayed up the whole night and went to sleep at 5:30am and slept about 1 and a half hours before getting up again. And as far as I'm concerned I feel great. It was worth it.
I loved the wedding. It was my first time seeing a royal wedding and…how I wish it was me having such a great wedding.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the wedding. I put them in order.
Kate's dress wasn't as fancy as Diana's, but I still loved it. I loved that she came to her wedding as herself. That dress is in her style and she's the one who makes it look gorgeous. I love the lace on the shoulders and hands.
If it was I who was getting married, I would most likely pick Diana's dress (or design something similar to it).
(pictures of Diana's and Pippa's dress are at the end of the post)
I absolutely loved the walk-in.
aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so cute 🙂
Prince William saying his vow and putting a ring on Kate's finger.
The legal papers are now signed. I present thee a husband and wife 😀
The V-neck and the collar are beautiful.
Another reason this dress looks so good on Kate is because she has a great body.
Getting ready to go to the palace, where family pictures were taken and the reception was held. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see that. I think no cameras were allowed inside.
I think it's time to say something about Prince William.
In my opinion, the military suit looks great on him. And he is very cute and charming 😀
And the moment we're all been waiting for. The kiss 🙂
p.s. here is the reason is stayed up until 5:30am.
Some more pictures 🙂
Catherine Middleton was wearing a tiara from Queen Elizabeth's jewelry box.
2nd wedding dress, which is gorgeous as well.
Pippa Middleton is Kate's sister and the maid of honor.
I looooooove her dress. I think she was the first person whose dress I fell in love with. And it looks great on her because of her body and beauty.
Both Kate's wedding gown and Pippa's dress were designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
Now, lets go back to Princess Diana Spencer's wedding.
I don't really like fancy stuff, but this is similar to what I would wear for my royal wedding (if I ever had one)
I love the full skirt of this dress, but I would make it in silk material. Also, I am not a big fan of the ruffles on top so I would probably want to have lace as in Kate's dress.
Also, I love how the veil and the back part of the skirt is long. I would love my veil to be long as well and drag a couple miles behind me hehe (just kidding), but a few feet would do.
I wish you 'just wed' couple to have a fun, peaceful, and full of love ride 😀
outfit 4 warm weather&school
Bonjour 😀
These past 2 days it has been warm in here, northern California.
Warm enough for wearing a skirt and sandals 🙂
This outfit is simple and I would most likely wear it to school.
Sorry if you don't like it. I am very busy with school and choir and workouts, but I try to come up at least with a simple outfit.
working out for FROCKS
The busy days started again.
I loved being on vacation and looking for new things for my blog almost the whole day. Right now, I barely have time for a workout. I decided to workout at least 30 minutes every day, no matter how busy I am.
So today I found out that my treadmill is working again. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH 🙂 And I was so excited to try it again that I didn't need motivation to go and sweat. But watch I'm gona need it tomorrow.
Actually, I think I got it. Below are 2 pictures with some beautiful summer frocks and I need my legs to look good if I want to wear them.
OMG..i see beautiful. i love the prints and the colors, but the blue one is just breathtaking.
a little bit of jean frocks..the 1st one (not on the model) is my favorite.
Which are your favorite?
Which one do you like more? Colorful prints or jean frocks? Or both, like me?
Christian Dior
I love Christian Dior clothes' designs. So unique and beautiful. Love love loooooooooooooooooooooooove 🙂
What do you think about this designs and clothes?
By the way, I have a new background image. Do you like it?
Dinner? In a restaurant?
Good early evening to you 🙂
Right now I wouldn't mind having dinner in a nice restaurant. Maybe with a cute guy 😉
Here's what I would wear:
a cute short tan dress
navy shoes (the front is round)
a wavy hairstyle (my hair is long)
It's not a fancy outfit, but still cute and stylish. I like it. I would feel good in it. I usually make a wavy hairstyle when I go out so this event wouldn't be an exception, but who knows.
p.s. I am not a big fan of handbags so I don't wear them most of the time.
What do you think of this outfit? Too simple? Ugly? Or cute and would go well for dinner in a restaurant?
color+pattern=pretty shoe
OMG!!! I looooooooooooove shoes that are in bright color and have patterns. They look amazing and I just love how they standout.
Here are some of the ones I love and want (I posted most of them before but I couldn't not post them again)
the colors are amazing
im loving the flower prints
more flower prints
❤ the bright colors
i love the patterns on the platform
love love looooooooove the orange
dear prints, i love you 🙂
Happy Easter :)
Happy Easter everybody 🙂
I rarely post pictures of myself so I decided to do a collage about me. All of the pictures are from different years. I love how each picture has a different memory that you will remember just by looking at them.
I am not a pro at creating collages. Today is the first time I did it and I'm still learning. I got a looooong way to go to learn how to do those types of collages you see in magazines or in fashion blogs.
The problem is that I don't know how to edit the pictures so many of them are blurry 😦
Humongous thanks to Shin who helped me when I emailed and asked her how to do a collage (I didn't even know how its called). I haven't met Shin personally, but I already know that she's a great person. Thank you Shin 🙂 Hugs ❤
Her blog is at fashioncappuccino.com
Anyways, back to Easter. What did you guys do/are still doing for Easter?
Yesterday, my mom made so much food and today was such a big and heavy lunch. Eeeehhhhh I hate overeating.
short, white crochet dresses
I am falling in love with short crochet dresses, especially if they're white. They would be so awesome to wear to the beach on top of a swimsuit.

Let me tell you what I heard today from a woman named Margherita Datini, although she died in 1421. She was 38 when she dictated a letter from Prato to her husband in Florence in 1398. She wrote to ask him to buy her several lengths of black fabric, and dozens of little silver filigree buttons in order to make up her dress in the Sicilian fashion. She also asked him to buy a similar length of dark fabric and a similar number of buttons for her servant Lucia, saying "I don't care what style hers is made up in, so long as it does not look like mine."
In that last sentence is the voice of a woman who in one poignant request is summing up a betrayal, and a sense of failed expectations. For what Margherita knew and what her husband, Francesco knew and what Ser Stoldo di Lorenzo, Francesco's chief man of business in Florence who would be buying the fabric knew, was that her own servant Lucia was the mother of her husband Francesco's illegitimate daughter, and that Margherita, his wife of 20 years was the mother of no child. Bearing and rearing children were the objects of a woman's life in late medieval Italy.
Margherita di Domenico Bandini was feisty, faithful, loyal, devoted to God, independent and spoke what was on her mind. She was the youngest child of an aristocratic family, whose father was beheaded, when she was three. "For God and Profit" was the motto of her husband's business. He was greedy, tough, nitpicking and kind.
Dead for 700 years, their voices are still alive in the letters they exchanged. I have been engrossed in translating their plain-speaking Tuscan into plain-speaking English. At the time I launched this blog, I was half way through the translation.
Their voices can speak again . Let them tell us how they dealt with plague, childlessness, success, war, affection and living the good life.

From the pedagogical point of view, a relevant issue is to consider the elderly as both subjects of continuous learning, both as guardians of knowledge and skills to share, facilitated by intergenerational dialogue. New technologies can be helpful to learn a common language and to know and experiment with different content and communication strategies
Social exclusion is still a stark reality for many old people and it is often worse in countries where the elderly lack the economic means to have a quality lifestyle, excellent healthcare and the

So I didn't actually really do anything other than sit in the garden and go to the park until Saturday. Grace was out with her dad so I went out with a couple of friends. We ended up going to get one of my friend's belly button pierced which was fun to watch. Then after being ripped off by Subway after they put up the price of footlongs without warning me, we decided to go on a random drive to Southport. On the way, we took some fairly random pictures. One cyclist turned and smiled for the camera. I saw a cake shop and yelled extremely loudly "CAKE!" forgetting that my window was down and that people walking by probably thought I had some serious mental issues. We also amused ourselves by taking a picture of a sign for a garden centre called Lady Green, however the word "garden" was written underneath "lady" so naturally, since our brains haven't yet matured beyond the age of 14, we found this hilarious.
We finally got to Southport, still taking pictures of random people and phallic shaped monuments (spurring the conversation "Take a photo of that" "It's too big, I can't get it in... Oh wait, I got the top in..." Again, our maturity levels are low) We walked through the town to get to the pier and stopped in a bar where some guy that looked like a cheap version of Rod Stewart was singing and thinking he was all that. A cute little old couple started dancing together and as we tried to take a photograph we were constantly blocked by some woman, who was in the bar on her own, standing up and rapidly shaking her fat arse along to the music. Bar abandoned, we went to the fair. I hate fairs but we wandered around anyway. There was an air show going on and we couldn't quite understand why the tickets were £9 when we could see it for free, you know, since it was in the sky and all. Then, as we were minding our own business, a huge bang made everyone just stop and look up as if to say "Jesus tonight, what was that?!" Turned out it was some fighter plane, one of those ones that breaks the sound barrier, thus to unsuspecting ears, sounds like a bomb going off and causes a flutter of panic. We joked, saying it might actually be a terrorist attack but everyone would just think it was part of the air show. Then we hear an even bigger bang than the one the plane was repeatedly making. We turned around to see two huge black billows of smoke coming from behind us. For a few seconds we kind of looked at each other like, wow, maybe we were right. But of course, it was just part of the air show. Seems strange to use bombs as entertainment but I suppose if you've paid £9 to see something you could see and hear miles away for free then you'll want to see something different. Then we got bored and made our way back to the car, passing a sexy street singer on the way. Which we also took a photo of.
Not even joking...In the background. Look at the people on the right, running for their lives...
Said friends came back to mine later that night and we watched some Dynamo (super amazing magician, possibly the second coming of Christ) and ate Rusks. Then when they left, I went to put up the photos we took that day. 90 bloody photos. Of crap, basically. But still.
Yesterday I went with a friend to a forest near ours with Grace. We told her there were fairies in there and she had to look for them. We put her in fairy wings and my friend took some photos of her looking cute. Then she turned into demon child and started screaming and crying and being a general pain in the bum. So she wasn't allowed to go to the beach and we went home instead. Nipped over to my mums and she ended up playing inside their new caravan (Grace, not my mum) for about 2 hours until I forced her to come home so I could make dinner, spag bol, which she smeared all over her face.
Once she was in bed, I settled down to watch some TV. I watched a programme I'd recorded about the last space shuttle flight. Gutted because I never got to see it. Last time I went to Florida, I went to the Kennedy Space Center and I LOVED it. We were meant to see a shuttle launch but it was postponed. It's on my list of "things to do before I die" only shuttle has now been changed to rocket as the shuttle programme has finished now and so there'll be no more shuttle launches. Then I started watching a film called The Lovely Bones. The title sounded fairly nice, I'd never seen it nor read the book. But, my god, what a horrible film! It's about a girl who is murdered by a seriously creepy neighbour who lures her into an underground den he has built, then slit her throat, bunged her in a sack and shoved her into a giant metal safe, after she tried escaping. If I hadn't watched How I met your mother afterwards, I would have definitely had nightmares about it.
Anyway, I'm supposed to be going to the park for a picnic and I'm trying to get together the energy to actually move. Got to take Grace to the doctors later as well, landed with the creepy GP again. Whenever I get an appointment I always end up getting him. He's so weird, he never looks you in the eye, he either stares at his computer the whole time, or your chest if you've got a bit of boob showing. So that should be fun.
Anyway, I suppose I best go and sort this child out. I'm also dedicating this post (although there is nothing relevant in it) to all the people who were killed in Norway last week. Such a terrible world we live in sometimes.
Bye bye

Warm Waters
The water was warm this afternoon. I wouldn't say it was Hawaii-warm, but if you were a trooper, you would definitely be fine in just boardshorts. The waves were rather pleasant, too. They would break on the outside and then reform on the inside, and if you were lucky you could get a nice little close-out shack.
If you had low expectations, the waves were decent; however, I assure you they weren't as good as my cousin's facial expression would lead you to believe

Welcome to our latest Q&A session with Ashley Wood! First of all, thanks to everyone for their messages, emails and whatnot, asking about Sunday Q&A and when our weekly sessions return. We were extremely busy during NYTF and needed some rest after it, but now we are back with the bang!
If you have an original and interesting question or questions in mind, you can submit them by various ways: contacting me via mail email@example.com ; by using Ask thread at official 3A forum; submitting them by posting at 3AVOX Facebook page wall or via 3Asupport twitter and your question might get featured in one of future sessions. Thank you for sending your questions and for your continuous interest!
Q: Can we please have a EVENFALL naked Strigoi OSM kit sooner than later to battle our T.H.U.G suits?
A: Naked Striggy, you can have that when you want it? ill put buddy strig in the store, yea ? Great for autopsy type photos!
Q: Is TK Kozo's mask removable and can we get the version of Undernaut for Bambalandstore one day? And another question, what type of hair is on Kozo sculpt?
A: Not removable, why, because it make the aesthetics of the design change when accommodating the removable mask. Yes there will be a Bamba version, different in some way!
Q: Would LOVE to see your take on Batman and some of the darker DC Universe figures (swamp thing, zatanna, sandman, black orchid)…would you be interested in something like that?
Q: Do the 13 shit-heels the Blind Cowboy is hunting have anything to do with the illuminati or the occult? When can we expect them to make an appearance this year?
A: I want to make all 13, maybe do a shit heel club thing, buy them all, get a free ghost horse etc ? what ya think ?
Q: For your collaboration with Marvel you revealed few iconic characters, like Spiderman, Captain America, Doom and Ultron, but all of them is male, if you want and can make female character, who's the first on your mind? Storm, Psylocke, BW, or who?
A: We are making Black Widow and Ms Marvel. We are developing a new female body for these and upcoming female characters.
Q: In last Q&A session, you said that your first comic to read was Donald Duck comic, would you like to make your version of classic Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie? Classic is gold!
A: mmm, I dunno, I like Scrooge best, evil duck with the bucks!
Q: Do you have any estimated date in mind for when the first 1/12 2000AD figs might hit Bamba and what it might be?
A: Well we are working on 6 of them at the moment, its an ASAP thing for us and Rebellion!
Q: The 3A Parade line seems to be the umbrella for fashion figures/collaborations. Will we ever see releases from this line pop up on Bamba, especially two new figures shown at NYTF? Parade is our fashion line, but we have she other plans outside of 3A as well.
A: I think the two figures seen at NYC will be a March or April sale.
Q: Will EVENFALL see any human characters in toy form? Are there people who hunt Strigoi without THUG suits?
A: We will have the Thug pilot, a TOTEM agent male and female in the short term.
Q: Since you mentioned that the R/C girl TKYO is going to use the Queeny sculpt, will she be getting a staff-like weapon; like a mic with stand or some such ?
A: Not the same sculpt, same stock, as in genetic, Queeny is what would be considered an older TQ, not many TQ's make the age of Queeny, GIRL R/C is much younger, had her age! All new sculpt etc, she brandishes a Mic and quick witted verses as her weapon of choice. Or a snub nose blaster if that don't work!
Q: When we might see new Popbot and how he might look? VON5 maybe?
A: I want to do a new one, but have put it off so not to make it look like an annual event, its been a while since the first one, maybe the time is coming for a rework!
Q: Any estimated about WWRp MIM price?
A: Ill talk to Siu Yin about that Monday, ill get back to ya asap!
Q: Will The Beautiful War be available on Comixology? Or that's the question for IDW Publishing?
A: Well yea, I want it out there!
Q: Was amazed by 24" Pascha! What are the plans for the 24'' figures, is it just for shows or you plan to launch a new line?
A: 3A is going to launch a large range of female figs, 24", just to see what kinda of detail we can do, realism juxtaposed against stylized design. Going to be fun!
Q: When can we expect the first 3A Transformer fig to be released? Will they be modeled after the G1 characters?
A: I ask that myself, as they say, its complicated, they toys are very complicated but moving along, we have a few projects that are slow in the works and unannounced but will be worth the wait!
Q: Is the Mega Zomb slated to be released soon (after the Zomb MD)?
A: Just finalizing now, mid year I would say, maybe May!
Q: Great news on possible collaboration with Todd McFarlane on Spawn figs! Not sure how specific the details are around just creating characters from his Spawn property, but would love to see your take on the Creech, Poacher, Gravedigger, Mandarian Spawn and some of his Curse of Spawn characters (like Dessicator)! Any specifics you can share yet on this upcoming line like scale? I think many of your fans have been wanting this for a long time.
A: Well I have always wanted to make 1/6th Spawn toys, and at the start of 3A I talked to Toddy about it, Im glad the times has passed between now and then as 3A has grown in its tech and ability to give a series such as SPAWN the level that is needed. As anyone who knows me well, my time at TMP is important and special, and the chance to work with Todd again is exciting! More info soon!
Q: Will the new WBR MARS robot have a nemesis baddie to fight with? How soon will we see such a WBR evil bad bot if so.
A: I never said WBR were the good guys ?
Q: Can you give us an idea as to when the next TKLUB will come out, or even when this new chapter will wrap up - culminating with the bonus TQ? Thanks!
A: I know, give us the TQ yo!, well we have a new HEAVY SLIVER very soon, and some other options too, TKLUB will be picking up steam soon!
Q: We know there will be a EVOL version of Rothchild, are there EVOL versions of any other characters we already have in toy form as well? Any other characters undergo a visual change in EVOL?
A: Well some will see revisits, a Bramble in May is a EVOL version ( not that different but cool), there will be a new Earth Coalition peace keeper ( Grunt ) and so on.. Kinda excited to release Rothy soon, a cool fig I think!
Q: Have your kids ever came to you with character designs/ideas they wanted you to make into toys? Or are any of your existing or upcoming characters been inspired by an idea your kids came up with?
A: Hell yea, they say things, or throw ideas that mesh and make me think, OH YEA COOL!
Q: Have you ever considered grabbing the license for Indiana Jones 1/6th scale figures? Or that's not threeA / your thing?
A: Not my thing, I see INDY and think Fuck Han, whats with the hat, there are Greedo's to shoot!
Q: I dig the punkish look of UKTK. We already have Golden Doplhin and the question is: will 3A release more figures influenced by punk imagery? Also will there be a UKTQ?! That would be awesome!
A: Well Punk is important to me, on the level of the thinking behind it, DIY and shit, thats a major part of my ideal, also when I was a kid, and Punk was in its visual golden period, it was kinda scary, yet cool, alienating yet saying, join us, the world is wrong etc… Its fun to dip into that world, still looks good today! UKTQ is go! I think PUNK for me has always been a wink and nod that you are not alone, when you feel outside what the immediate surroundings offer! Go put on a Buzzcocks record, by some Docs, tartan skirts re timeless..
Q: With the announced next series of Nablers, is there an update on next Miss + Mrs book?
A: Update, Ash is working as hard as he can, really ( completely disregards health in this dept ), want to finish this more than anyone, very fond of the original book!
Q: When we might be seeing Archer TK or next 7Bones?
A: I want Archer first then another female 7bones!
Q: Any word on how limited is UKTK for Toycon and will there be Bambalandstore variant of him?
A: 50 for toy con, and there are some bamba version, all different, but at last you get a chance at a mohawk TK!
Q: Let's talk baddies! Without skeletor there's no he man, without mumra there's no liono, who is GiJoe without cobra? And to really drive this home, without vader, there NEVER would have been a Skywalker. So, TK hunter looks great! But we need more bad guys? What surprises do you have from the Dark side of Popbot?
A: Well its hard to answer without giving away the main plot of the TK, new we can make seamless female bodies I'm interested in a Mortis fig, I have some ideas there, the 13 shit heels are villains in a way, 5 bros etc. Remember Popbot isn't SW or GIJOE with a linear good vs bad storyline, its a story of a young man who loses himself, and needs to find his home. He is probably his own best villain and hero.
Q: Will we see a more general release Beer girl Isobelle at any point? Also, a cosplay Lizbeth.
A: Yea, more Beer Girl in March ( Pascha ) and we are also working on a Lizbeth + Pascha cosplay two pack!
Q: Did T.P. Louise write the Isobelle Pascha book? Your recent interview seemed to imply this.
A: Isobelle Pascha wrote it, we just published it.
Q: Will we for surely be seeing the Chief in different renditions throughout the years of him some time eventually in 1/6 scale? Also, would the Elites be doable with all the different joint articulations from a human?
A: We have an Elite.. We have a Chief..
Q: When you mentioned a Bramble in the Iron Panda super set, did you mean a 1/6 bramble with a mini-gun or rocket launcher? We need more Brambles with mini-guns.
A: I mean 1/6th
Q: Can you please tell us more about UKTK character, like his name, story and whether it's coming with EDO style hands?
A: Original hands, UKTK was deployed due the Manchester war bleeding out into the general UK, TK not only fight the MORTIS but are general peace keepers, especially DEVIL SOCKS!
Q: When Zomb MD might hit Bambalandstore?
A: Zomb MD and Female Zomb two pack is soon, not long and you can set up surgery!
Q: MGS REX been listed on some retail sites as the pre-order, is it re-release of MGS REX or they have their info wrong?
A: According to Kim we have some old stock and parts, the demand is there Im told due to RAY.
Q: How many pages are in Art of TK mook? Can't wait to get it in my mail and would love to hear more details!
A: It keeps growing originally it was 48 pages etc, much bigger now, Brent and me are moving to lock down asap!
Q: I stopped by at your NYTF booth and I must say that you had amazing displays and great team, and marking up the event with some vinyl boobs was freaking great! Thank you for that! What are your impressions of NYTF? Will you be returning next year?
A: Let me say this, NYC was great, 100% credit to the 3A team, I don't think enough is said about them, from Gimbys and Gregory for their hardwork in the back ground, to Brent for his design and Siu Yin who really was the gate keeper of the entire booth and the way it was put together and run! Anyway ill dry the tears from eyes and say NYC was a blast , we are what are and that was on display , its always fun to get our tits out too!

I had a stroke last June. It started by having a migraine problem. It normally starts by having vision problems with a migraine for me.I have other articles about the migraine/stroke connection. I spoke my neuro doc and he said it's into the full picture about strokes.The problem about the migraine connection is how could it be fixed before a stroke happens. I have had migraines since I was a teenager. That means I've had migraines for almost fifty years now. I'm sure I'll have another migraine some where in the future. What would I treat the migraine.In a lighter thought, women are always having migraines when they didn't want to go to bed with their husbands thoughts. Yet, women do not as often as men have strokes. This kinds in the face of this article.Blackduff

Is the time right for a love elixir? Wanting to use a little love magic to find your forever love?
Though we are well past Valentine's Day, I thought it would be good to share the recipe I used to make my own love elixir using crystals.
When I created my own, I didn't have romance in mind (though I know it could be used for that), but I did want the feeling of being loved, of deep comfort and of love for myself. And after using it and sharing it with my son, I did get extra hugs, so using it may increase your connection with those you love.

What You Will Need
the crystals you choose
the glass you will keep the crystals and pour the water into
the glass bottle you will eventually store the crystal-charged water in
Basic Steps for Creating Your Love Potion
(1) Choose your crystals and place them in the glass you plan to use. I used the ones listed below which are connected to both love and comfort or, in the case of the quartz crystal, increase the chage or potency of the other stones...
blue lace agate
rose quartz
double-terminated quartz crystal
(2) After pouring filtered (or spring) water over the crystals, decide if or how you want to super-charge the water. I used all of these methods but you can pick and choose, and they are all optional.
stirring a spiral into the water
drawing reiki symbols
drawing hearts
using a crystal or wooden wand to direct additional energy into the water
(3) Write out your intention for the charged water (or say it aloud or focus on it in your head while stirring) and place the paper under the glass.
(4) Place the glass of water in sunlight or moonlight, on your windowsill, balcony or patio, and leave it there for the day or overnight.
(5) The next day, pour the crystal-charged water into the glass bottle you have chosen. That water can be used as it is, or added to lotions, perfumes, bath oils or creams, etc. You also can just pour a little into your hands and rub it into your heart space, breathe it in or use it to smooth your energy field.
NOTE: If you are planning to drink it, I recommend placing the crystals in boiling water for a few minutes before you place them into the filtered water you are planning to use.
And I suggest storing that water in the refrigerator once it is fully charged. I also suggest drinking only a little at a time because it will be very powerful.
Creating Ritual
If you would like to use this process as part of a love ritual, there are several additional steps you could take...
(1) You could begin by lighting a candle and could make that the moment you state your intention, even if you also plan to write it down.
(2) You could journal about what you hope will happen as a result of making the love potion and write more than you would on the paper you will be placing under the glass.
(3) You could create an altar that represents your love wish and add pictures or other symbols, the candle(s) you are lighting, etc.
(4) At the end of the day or just before you go to bed, blow out the candle and express gratitude for the energy of love that is being created.
(5) Just before pouring the water into the glass bottle, you can express gratitude again and revisit your intention by consecrating the bottle of crystal-charged water for its intended purpose.
Enjoy your love potion!
