'Living Portraits' unveiled
At an afternoon reception held at Denver's Central Library, Denver chapter of the National Council of Negro Women introduced its 2007 Living Portraits of African-American Women, a group honored for exceptional achievement in a variety of fields.
They are:
Rebekah Renee Johnson, an East High School junior with a 4.3 grade average. Rebekah was a dance major at Denver School of the Arts from sixth through ninth grades and has been accepted at both the Juilliard School and the American Academy of Ballet in New York City.
Locally, she has also studied with the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble and is a member of the Cherry Creek Dance Company Elites. She teaches jazz, tap and ballet to 2- through 4-year-olds at Cherry Creek Dance on Saturdays to help pay her tuition and dance class expenses. In July, 2004, she competed in the L.A. Dance Magic national finals in Las Vegas, placing first in ballet.
Her dancing style reflects her personal belief that "You don't have to be on BET or MTV in sexually exploitative videos to become a success and earn an income at the expense of your soul. God has a place … in the Christian community for dancers to worship Him."
Kamaria Gyashi Hakeem is a 16-year-old junior at the Denver School of Science and Technology with a 3.6 grade average. When she was 11, she became involved with the Colorado Association of Professional Black Engineers and Scientists (CAPBES) and through them she was able to attend an engineering and construction camp at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
In school, she is part of the National Honor Society, the Ethnic College Counseling Center; and the CU-Boulder Pre-Collegiate Program. Her involvement with the Ethnic College Counseling Center enabled her to visit 15 historically black colleges in the South and numerous college fairs. She also participated in the Minority Introduction to Engineering Program at Tennessee State University, where she received recognition as both an exemplary student and top student, and an oratorial award.
Kamaria is also a member of the Holy Redeemer Liturgical Dancers; the recipient of a Rotary Youth Leadership Award; and a participant in the University of Denver's African American Policy Program. She hopes to attend Howard University.
Alicia Boyd is director of community partnerships in the Denver Mayor's Office for Education and Children and teaches at the Community College of Denver. She has a masters degree in education from Regis University and has 15 years experience in early childhood education.
A member of Jack & Jill of America, she was listed in the 2006 Who's Who for Executives and Professionals and is a member of the American Association of University Women. She is on the board of the King Baptist Church Women's Ministry and is a leader in the Liturgical Movement Ministry. She has been married for 23 years and is the mother of a 17-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter.
Marion Ellerbee was born in St. Stephens, S.C., in 1912, and has seven siblings. She learned the importance of community service at "the ripe old age of 11" when she joined the Red Circle Girls of the Methodist Church of South Carolina's missionary department. She moved to Denver in 1945 and 10 years later, with her now-deceased husband, purchased the home in which she still resides.
Her community service includes being appointed by then-Mayor Stapleton to form and lead the Denver City Band. She also has been active in civic and political circles, having supported Rachel Noel's fight to integrate the Denver Public Schools and walked the neighborhood with then-Lt. Gov. George Brown and Elvin Caldwell to oppose a shopping center proposed for the land on which City Park Golf Course is located.
Mrs. Ellerbee served as area president of Women in Community Service; president and regional director of Denver section of the National Council of Negro Women; and president of the council's national board. She also helped raise $2,000 to help build a statue of NCNW's founder, Mary McLeod Bethune, in Washington, D.C.
She remains active in support of the Northeast Women's Center and Iota Phi Lambda sorority.
Aquilla McKnight is a native of Calhoun, La., and moved to Denver with her son following the death of her husband, Paul Delano McKnight. She attended St. Francis School of Nursing in Wichita and has dedicated her life to nurturing and caring for others.
Her passion is caring for critically and chronically ill children and she has worked with HIV and sickle cell anemia patients throughout the country.
Mrs. McKnight is a member of Shorter Community African Methodist Episcopal Church, Colorado Black Women for Political Action, the Delta Mothers and Patrons Club, and the Urban League of Metropolitan Denver. She's also a volunteer grandmother in the pediatric department at Denver Health and says her personal goals are to keep her mind open to new ideas and philosophies, to be able to explore new territories, to reach out to others, and to give of herself while remaining honest, humble and healthy.
Valencia Faye Tate is the vice president and director of diversity and corporate human resources at CH2m Hill, a global engineering consulting firm headquartered in Denver. She is a graduate of Leadership Denver and in 2003 was recognized as a Woman of Distinction by Girl Scouts Mile Hi Council. Former Gov. Roy Romer appointed her to the judicial nominating committee for the Second Judicial District and to the Executive Clemency Advisory Board.
Faye, as she is known, is a past president of Denver chapter of The Links, Inc., and Delta Sigma Theta sorority's Denver alumnae chapter. She was born in Petersburg, Va., earned a juris doctorate degree from the Antioch School of Law in Washington, D.C., and a bachelor's degree in English literature from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. She has lived in Denver 20 years and is the mother of one daughter, Elleana.
In addition, Faye has served on the board of the Denver District Court Child Care Center, the Metro Denver Chamber Foundation, the Rocky Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council, Colorado Bright Beginnings, Denver Athletic Club and the Colorado Association of Black Professional Engineers and Scientists Advisory Board. She belongs to the Junior League of Denver, Jack & Jill of America, and the National Federation of the Blind.
Loretta Wahl is the program coordinator for the University of Colorado's Ethnic Living and Learning Program, where she manages multicultural residential and leadership development programs for first-year students. These include the 2006 spring break trip that she coordinated for 10 students who traveled to New Orleans to work with Dillard University's effort to help with Hurricane Katrina cleanup.
When she was with CU-Boulder's African-American Student Services, she coordinated the university's first Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium, a three-day event dedicated to the legacy of the slain civil rights leader.
Married and the mother of three, Mrs. Wahl has a degree in sociology from CU-Boulder and is working on her masters in social science.
She has been a case manager for Parent Pathways Young Fathers' Services, where she worked with low-income, unmarried fathers between the ages of 16 and 24 to help them gain life and parenting skills. She taught preschool at Park East Church of Christ for four years and directed its youth chorus for two years.
Liza Willis was born and raised in Colorado Springs and is the chief deputy in the Denver District Attorney's office. She is the first African-American female to hold this post.
Her road to success was fraught with difficulty. She was just 15 when her first child was born; approximately two years later, she bore another. Her mother pushed her to stay in school and strive to make a good life for herself and her children.
Liza graduated from Harrison High School in 1977, and went on to receive a degree in accounting from Pikes Peak Community College where an instructor, recognizing her potential, encouraged her to continue her studies. She was accepted by the University of Denver and completed a double major in public policy and sociology while interning in the Denver DA's office.
In September, 1988, she was hired as a victim's advocate, a job she stayed with while attending DU's College of Law as a full-time night student. After passing the bar exam, she was hired as a deputy DA and served in the County, Juvenile, Drug and District Court divisions before being promoted to chief deputy in January, 2004.
In addition to her mother, Mary Willis, Liza credits her children for helping her succeed. "They're great people," she says, "and my greatest gift to them is passing along a good set of values, especially when it comes to dedication and doing the right thing."

The Mojito is a rum drink… a Cuban cocktail that originated in Havana in the late 1800s. It gained popularity beginning in the 1930s as Americans were drawn to the Caribbean lifestyle. This is my favorite drink of all… not only for it's wonderfully refreshing taste which results from the perfect balance of it's sweet and sour ingredients but because of it's fascinating history as well.
The Mojito even has a predecessor dating back to the time when pirates ran the Caribbean. Historians have found that the pirate Richard Drake regularly mixed up a rum drink of his own making by combining unrefined rum, sugar, lime, and mint. He named the drink "El Draque" ("the dragon"), the same as the the nickname of Sir Francis Drake. This cocktail certainly served as the influence for the Mojito as Drake frequented Cuba. As the pirate days ended, the Draque became a popular rum drink among the Cuban working-class.
Also popular with Cubans and many other Latin-American countries was guarapo… basically a sugar cane juice or simple syrup that was served with ice as a refreshing drink. Guarapo, when distilled, becomes rum. Over time marriage of guarapa (or simple syrup) added to rum instead of pure sugar was only natural. Add in the lime and mint and you have the staple Mojito ingredients. Some even thought the cocktail to have medicinal benefit as the mojito ingredients on their own were often the same ingredients of other concoctions consumed for medicinal purposes. This is probably how a more authentic but less common mojito ingredient (Angostura Bitters) came to be part of the Mojito recipe as well.
Certain parts of America came to enjoy the Mojito early on due to the proximity of Key West and American's fascination with Cuban cigars and the influence of Ernest Hemingway. Sloppy Joe's, opened by a friend of Hemingway's, started serving mojitos in the 1930's. The Cuban population in Miami made sure the Mojito was commonplace in South Florida.
Until Hurricane Andrew, the Mojito was almost a well kept secret to only the Floribbean region of the world as well as to those who sought the tropical lifestyle of the area. After Andrew, South Beach saw an amazing re-growth and a renewed, world-wide recognition as one of the trendiest destinations in the world of which the Mojito is somewhat of an icon. The Mojito is now known and enjoyed by more people than ever. With it's popularity has come several variations on the recipe and there's a good chance you've had a "mojito" but you haven't had a true Mojito. While there are a few variations of the authentic recipe, we feel this one is the best as it is true to this fine cocktail's culture and history. So, accept no substitutes and enjoy!
Here's how to make a Mojito: Mojito Ingredients: 3 quarters of lime 2 oz simple syrup 3–4 oz lite rum (we recommend Havana Club Rum) 6–11 mint leaves (according to taste) 5 drops Bitters Club Soda (part of the tradition, but optional)
Mojito Preparation: Squeeze juice from 3 quarters of lime into tall glass. Set the squeezed lime wedges to the side. Throw in 11 mint leaves and use a muddler to release mint oil. Add squeezed lime wedges and remaining ingredients. Fill glass with ice cubes. Shake with cocktail shaker then top with a splash of club soda if desired and serve… just a splash though!!! For taller glasses, don't be tempted to top off your glass with the club soda as it will water down the taste. Double the main ingredients instead!
Here's how to make a Mojito Pitcher: Mojito Pitcher Ingredients: 3 whole limes 8 oz simple syrup 12–16 oz lite rum (we recommend Havana Club Rum) 24–48 mint leaves (according to taste) 20 drops Bitters Club Soda (part of the tradition, but optional)
Mojito Pitcher Preparation: Squeeze juice from 3 whole limes into a pitcher. Set the squeezed lime wedges to the side. Throw up to 48 mint leaves and use a muddler to release mint oil. Add squeezed lime wedges and remaining ingredients. Fill pitcher with ice cubes. Stir vigorously and then top with a splash of club soda if desired and serve. Double the rum if you like it strong!
Here's some things that will help you make a great Mojito:

No longer just about the men's magazine, the Playboy logo has become mainstream. Playboy has introduced porno chic to a younger audience, with its insignia now adorning doona and pillow covers, pencil cases, key rings, wallets, purses, stationary, make-up and youth clothing ranges.
Not too long ago, Girlfriend magazine promoted Playboy clothing as "the must have brand for cool girls." To adorn yourself in some way with the rabbit logo was to demonstrate an uninhibited, free range sexiness: essential for every girl.
Now Playboy Enterprises has been given the opportunity to socialise an even younger audience to the bunny ears. Perhaps it won't be long before the bunny becomes as ubiqitous as the golden arches. Afterall, Hugh Hefner once said he wouldn't mind if a baby held up a Playboy bunny rattle.
The porn empire's latest marketing tool is a character much loved by children for the chocolaty delights he delivers. The Easter Bunny.
Universal has just released an animated film called Hop, billed as "Candy, chicks and rock 'n' roll". The film features E.B, teenage son of the Easter Bunny. Easter Bunny senior wants his child to take over the family Easter egg business. But E.B has other plans. He wants to "see the world" so runs away to Hollywood, determined to become a drummer in a rock band.
But not every bunny wants to stay in a burrow. So when E.B looks for a bed where does he go to first?
The Playboy mansion of course. When E.B is told by "celebrity narrator" Hugh Heffner that the mansion only accommodates "sexy" bunnies, E.B replies enthusiastically: "I can be sexy!"
In this coming of age story which appeals to children's natural attraction to the Easter Bunny, E.B "learns what it takes to grow up". The animated teen rebel, resisting his father's wishes for him, on a journey of discovery, ends up at the Playboy mansion.
Cartoon bunny meet Playboy bunny in one seamless hop.
Embedding the Playboy Mansion in an Easter holiday film for kids is just another example of the mainstreaming of sex industry codes to children, contributing to their internalizing a message that the best known brand of the global porn industry is cool.
Alison Pollet in her 2004 article, Strip till You Drop, writes, "The bunny's getting an extreme makeover; the company's amping up its playful, mildly risqué qualities and de-emphasizing its pornographic ones."
Hop helps it do that. The man responsible for the trivialization of female sexuality on a global scale becomes a celebrity narrator providing cartoon bunnies a bed for the night.
While children imbibe the Playboy PR that the brand helps make you sexy, playful and fun, (and Justin Bieber's proposed visit to the Mansion further helps spread that idea) the reality of course is quite different.
You only have to go back to Hefner's original description of the meaning of the Bunny, to get a good idea of his sexist and harmful views of women. In an interview cited here Hefner said:
The rabbit, the bunny, in America has a sexual meaning, and I chose it because it's a fresh animal, shy, vivacious, jumping – sexy. First it smells you, them it escapes, then it comes back, and you feel like caressing it, playing with it. A girl resembles a bunny. Joyful, joking. Consider the kind of girl that we made popular: the Playmate of the Month. She is never sophisticated, a girl you cannot really have. She is a young, healthy, simple girl — the girl next door … we are not interested in the mysterious, difficult woman, the femme fatale, who wears elegant underwear, with lace, and she is sad, and somehow mentally filthy. The Playboy girl has no lace, no underwear, she is naked, well-washed with soap and water, and she is happy.
First person accounts about life at the Playboy Mansion reveal how the women are seen as property to be treated however Hefner wants. Jill Ann Spaulding describes porn and Viagra assisted unsafe sex sessions with the elderly Hefner.
Also this recent account in a piece titled "Pay to Play" by Daniel Flynn and published in The Spectator:
Nobody told Izabella St. James that sexual liberation came with curfews, monitors, and allowances. A former live-in girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, St. James has come clean on the dirty life inside the Playboy mansion. The Hefner girlfriends log-out upon departing the mansion and log-in upon returning. Security personnel monitor their movements, with a strict 9 p.m. curfew imposed. Weekly allowances of $1,000, and gratis plastic surgery, keep the ladies in line. The busty blonde reflected in the Daily Mail earlier this year, "Little did I realize that by moving into the mansion I was losing all the freedom I associated with the Playboy lifestyle."
The picture painted of the Playboy mansion by St. James and other playmates is one of joyless, obligatory orgies, dog-mess littered carpets, hall-monitor snitches, and a control-freak master of the house. Reality-television star Kendra Wilkinson, a five-year resident of the mansion, recalls: "It was way more strict than my parents had ever been."
Flynn concludes: "One man's emancipation can be another's enslavement. In Hugh Hefner's case, one old man's sexual liberation is a whole harem's subjugation".
But it's all candy, chicks and rock 'n' roll for E.B.
If you prefer your children have a non commercialised, commodified, women-as-bunnies Playboy mediated vision of sexuality, don't take them to see Hop.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Health officials say the death of a 61-year-old Ohio woman is the first associated with a new swine flu strain.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The Ohio Department of Health says the woman died this week. It says that she had other medical conditions but that the H3N2v influenza virus may have contributed to her death.
She was not identified but lived in Madison County. She became ill after contact with hogs at the Ross County Fair.
Federal health authorities report 288 cases of the strain this summer. The state health director says most of Ohio's cases have been mild.
He's urging at-risk groups to avoid swine exhibits and take other precautions. Those groups include young children, older residents, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems or other medical conditions.

Hello gang! Welcome back to another fun filled drawing tutorial that I know you will all love and adore. I haven't been submitting lessons like I use to lately because I have been going through a transitional stage with the site and with moving, so I do apologize for that. While I was looking through the recent tutorials that I submitted like four days ago, I saw how the baby boy got good reviews and gained a good amount of popularity. So because of that I figured I would show you "how to draw a baby", step by step. This was an extremely fun lesson for me to do because I was using pictures of my baby sister back when she was a young toddler as a reference. There was this one picture of her when she had this amazing baby smile with one little tooth showing on the bottom of her mouth. The only thing I did different was change the hair style. My baby sister had brown pig-tails in her photo but, I wanted this tutorial on "how to draw a baby" look like she was the sister of the baby boy I drew. All I did was draw a cute typical baby curl on top of her head and then big glossy eyes. I think that she came out absolutely beautiful and I know for a fact that you will all enjoy this lesson on how to draw a baby girl step by step. Learning how to draw babies is something that I know you will all be able to do even if you are a novice artist. I will be back in a while with some more drawing fun so stay tuned and keep an eye out for something new.

Officials: It's hidden in dense Iowa woods
State narcotics enforcement authorities in Iowa are asking farmers and hunters to keep an eye out for large marijuana plots.
Officials said they are hidden in rural densely wooded timber areas after several recent busts indicate illicit cultivation going on.
In the last couple of weeks, drug agents have found two of the new operations in Taylor County and in Decatur County. Both secluded in rural areas and both housing pot and growers who don't want to be found.
"We're gearing up for hunting season. It's already in swing. The farmers are out in the fields harvesting their crops. And so there's more activity out there," said Kevin Winker, Division of Narcotics Enforcement assistant director.
Authorities said most of the big grow operations have been found in forests or heavily wooded timbers on private land.
Some of the plots are being guarded by growers.
"They're moving into the timber, they're clearing trees, they're setting up these encampments and they're staying there," said Winker. "They'll leave some trees, but they'll take all of the branches up to about 20 feet so they'll leave the canopy of the trees, which makes it more difficult for the plot to be seen from the air."
A recent find in Taylor County included an acre of marijuana -- almost 4,000 plants.
"Most of the plots are found somewhat near a water source, whether it's a creek or a pond and they'll run irrigation tubing out to the plants so they can control the amount of water the plant is getting, the amount of fertilizer the plant is getting and in the end, for them, they're trying to get the best product they can out of it," said Winker.
Authorities said any plots that are found should be called in to authorities and avoid contact with anyone camping out by them.
"It's important for them to understand that if they come upon one of these, the best thing that they can do is back themselves out of there, get to a safe place, contact local law enforcement and tell them what they've seen so we can further investigate what's going on," said Winker.

On Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, Wagner College rededicated Main Hall, its primary classroom building and architectural signature, following the comprehensive external restoration of the 82-year-old building. The restoration of this three-story, brick masonry Collegiate Gothic structure cost $15 million and took 17 months to complete.
David Martin, Wagner's vice president for administration and master of the works for the Main Hall project, served as M.C. for the rededication ceremony. Also participating were:
- Richard Guarasci, who is celebrating his 10th anniversary as president of Wagner College;
- Frederic Koehler Sutter, grandson of Pastor Frederic Sutter, under whose leadership Main Hall was built in 1930, and of Otto Koehler, the general contractor who built Main Hall;
- Lily McNair, the Wagner provost who, with the support of Registrar Jeffrey Kraus, found replacement classrooms all over campus for the entire academic year during which Main Hall was out of commission;
- Ken Daly, New York state head of the energy company, National Grid, which awarded a $20,000 "Cinderella" grant to Wagner College to help cover the cost of the energy-efficient windows installed in Main Hall;
- Pastor James Smith '05, college chaplain, who asked a blessing upon Main Hall, and
- Warren Procci, chairman of our board of trustees, who, with President Guarasci, cut the ribbon officially opening the restored Main Hall.
A video of the 30-minute dedication program can be viewed below — and, beneath that, you can watch a 30-second film taken in 1929 by Eleanor Koehler, the contractor's daughter, of the laying of Main Hall's cornerstone 83 years ago.

Day's best: The White House brewery
Here's a news tidbit that has the potential to gain bipartisan support, especially in a craft brew haven such as Colorado — the White House has a brewery.
At a campaign stop in Iowa, President Obama explained that the White House produces two styles of beer — a light and a dark. When prompted, he dispatched an aide to get a bottle from the campaign bus.
The Boston Globe reports Obama is the first president to brew beer at the White House.
In February, ABC News reported the president served guests "White House Honey Ale" made with honey from a hive on the grounds.
Oh, we know the serious issues will — and should — take center stage in the presidential campaign, even if they are discussed only in bumper sticker generality. But the home brewery item is a lighter moment in a campaign that seems destined to grow more negative in the coming months.

Every Thursday my hometown pub hosts a live music night. The sorts of bands that play are invariably old boys serving up a good old fashioned stodge of refried village-fete pub rock, the sort of music that would make James May think twice before reaching for the clippers. Good fun for those involved, but not the sort of thing that's ever going to set Pitchfork's prongs-a-glowing, and certainly not the sort of thing to get rabid blog-buzz after courting one of NY's finest producers.
Forgive my surprise then, but when I first got smacked round the head with Free Energy's own brand of FM Radio Route 66 stomp-along jock-rock, I wasn't expecting a DFA lightning bolt to strike anywhere within a thousand mile radius. But it seems His Royal Murphyness has missed producing guitar bands, and so the hype commenced, leading to debut LP Stuck On Nothing.
Such a balls-out irony-free rock album feels so rare in 2010 that writing about it almost makes me feel like I'm scribbling for some Seventies fanzine. I mean, we're talking about 'four Pennsylvanian dudes making good time cruising rock 'n roll' here, 'some crazy mix of Thin Lizzy and T Rex, riffin' their way across America!' You'd need DNA evidence to separate Free Energy from the influences they're so clearly in thrall of, but it's all so blusteringly fun and care-free that they make you feel like a curmudgeon for even contemplating giving a shit.
Tracks like 'Bang Pop' and 'Dream City' burst out of the traps with the same lusty exuberance that would've made girls in polka dot dresses swoon thirty years ago. 'Hope Child' is ostensibly about as hot-right-now as Nick Griffin riding round Buckinghamshire on a Segway, but its meaty power-chord bombast and reckless abandon somehow wins you over by sheer force of its unrestrained vigour. Sure, singer Paul Sprangers relies pretty heavily on the lyricists' Encyclopaedia Generica when singing lines like "It never feels alright, and it never feels OK, cos we know that every night's gotta end some day", but get beyond their MOR as a line-painting machine frontage and there's a refreshing lack of post-ironic posturing to be found. They're all about being young, dumb, and living for the moment. Whether to cringe or sing along is another matter, but as the minutes tick along you realise they're clearly having awesome amounts of fun making this album, and I mean like, proper, youthful fun. Pushing your friend down a hill in a shopping cart while shouting 'awwww yeh!' into a camera kinda fun. I've never felt so devastatingly British as listening to the Weezer-lite douche-rock of 'Light Love' and thinking 'now technically I don't like this, but I do appear to joining in with the chorus regardless.'
If you were to get all indiesphere snob about it you could employ a Jeremy Vine style trend-o-meter to realise there's only about a 2.3% swing that separates Stuck On Nothing from a new Jet record. But the Malkmus-esque college-dropout style of vocal delivery by Sprangers steers the record away from cock-rock farce and towards a sweetly languid carelessness. Songs like 'Young Hearts' and 'Wild Winds' shimmer and pop under the hand of James Murphy, whilst 'All I Know' glistens with string embellishments, making for an undeniably pretty ode to youthful abandon.
Ultimately this is an album full of unapologetically high-spirited All-American hi-jinx. Sprangers sums up the album himself on 'Dream City', "We're riding through the night, trying to get around, in love with the electric sound." On this song Free Energy inadvertently soundtrack that obligatory coming-of-age teen-movie scene where the group of high school pals pile into their Dad's Chevy for one last summer road trip before graduation. There's a latent melancholia as they speed off into the distance cracking open beers and giving each other high-fives, and Free Energy sum this feeling up perfectly. Screw incoming responsibilities; enjoy the recklessness of youth whilst you can.

A long time ago I thought that this blog would be about me testing out recipes I found in books and then telling you if they worked or not. But then I discovered that it was much more fun writing about me, me, me and my various problems and then tacking a recipe for, like, beans on toast at the end and hoping that no-one would notice that I wasn't really fulfilling my brief.
It became like a sort of free therapy, except that it didn't work and I went mad anyway and am having to get some very expensive therapy in Central London administered by a woman we'll call Dr O.
I went to see her for the first time today. I was ten minutes late because I couldn't find her bastard office and made a small joke about me not being anxious about being late because of all people who would be understanding it would be her. She gave me a pleasant but uncomprehending smile and I realised suddenly that she has no sense of humour. And what the fuck was I doing trying to make my therapist laugh anyway? Grow up.
That's beside the point. My point is that I found in the Hawksmoor cookbook a recipe for hamburger buns, which declared that the secret was to use custard in the dough.
"Awesome!" I screeched. "Custard!!! What fun. I will go back to my roots and test this out and say if it works or not."
And it's the stupidest bloody recipe I've ever done. And I've now decided that I HATE cookbooks especially restaurant cookbooks because they're always written by people who've been cooking for 8 million years and assume all sorts of things about the domestic cook and the recipes are never tested properly and they're always shit.
Say what you like about Jamie Oliver but he's got some proper recipe-testing going on. He doesn't just sling the recipes out to various relatives in a huge panic 5 days before the book goes to the printers, all of whom say they will test the recipes and then don't and lie and say they did and that they're fine causing ME to WASTE MY TIME making stupid hamburger buns that are crap and at least 50% less nice than if I'd just had a crack, blindfolded, at making them off the top of my head.
I mean... *legal panic*...not that I'm saying Hawksmoor doesn't test their recipes properly, I'm just saying that Jamie Oliver does.
Anyway, shall I bother with the recipe? I don't think I will actually. You can have the photo because I know how you all like a photo, but it was such a silly recipe, so lazily done, so inaccurate and unhelpful and rotten than I don't think I'll do it the service of even copying it out here.
Custard! I ask you... Dingbats.

My quibble with all of the 24/7 shadow liners is how difficult they are to blend out. These set instantly so if you do want to blend for a softer look, you are left tugging away at your lids quite roughly. On the positive side, these are great, long-wearing shadows on their own and are great as bases for other shadows that crease or need help to show up or both! I loved these like made when I first got them but since then, and since finding the Tarte and Sephora shadow pencils which have all the good qualities and also remain blendable for a minute or so, I haven't been using my UD pencils nearly as much. Having said that, Underground is a great brown pencil with so many uses. It doesn't lean red at all - it's fairly neutral to cool in tone and so it's a shade I can wear quite well on the lid or in the crease or as a "one step and out the door" type product.
By Mariella 6 years ago.
I was in love with the UD 24/7 shadow pencils when they first came out because they were SO long-wearing and were multi purpose products that worked as eye shadows, non-creasing and colour enhancing bases for other shadows and also as long lasting eye liners on me (they last better than some of the 24/7 pencil liners on me). Over time, though, I became less and less thrilled with how hard these are to blend out without yanking and tugging on my lids. Rehab is one of the more easy to blend shades and it is a lovely shade of taupe brown. I do enjoy using this pencil but do wish it stayed blendable for more than 1/50th of a second!

Lady Gaga displayed Julie Andrews-like vocal range honoring "The Sound of Music" star at last year's Oscars. Intentionally or otherwise, Gaga channeled Freddie Mercury for her rousing rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl 50. Just over a week later, she flashed some of the many faces of David Bowie during her Grammys tribute to the fallen musician.
Now Gaga is set to return to the Academy Awards, bringing her run as a major-event performer full circle and making her the only singer to play the three marquee winter shows in the same year.
This time, she'll be on stage, clearly as herself, singing perhaps her most powerful song yet.
U.S. & World
On Sunday, Gaga is slated to perform just one number, "Til it Happens to You," the searing, Oscar-nominated ballad she wrote with Diane Warren for the documentary, "The Hunting Ground," which examines the scourge of campus rape. Introducing her will be Vice President Joe Biden.
The "Poker Face" star is waging big bets by taking on big gigs: The opportunities carry risks as she balances efforts to expand her popularity beyond her loyal Little Monsters against the unforgiving ogre of overexposure.
Credit Gaga with showing little fear in tackling high-stakes appearances, which come with the pressure to keep topping herself, even when honoring greats from eras past. She also faces the pressure of staying in the eye of a musical storm dominated by forces of nature like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Adele.
Like her hero Bowie, Gaga is propelled by a spirit of constant, chameleonic reinvention as she charts a charmingly eclectic career path, with collaborators ranging from Tony Bennett to the Muppets.
And like Bowie, she's unafraid to occasionally stumble amid character and costume changes. While her breathless Bowie tribute soared at times, perhaps one song would have served better than a medley that attempted to jam five decades of sound and vision into six-plus minutes
Whether or not Lady Gaga takes home an Oscar likely isn't as important to her as proving yet again that she was born to play for millions, no matter what persona she chooses to put on stage.

How do fish go dormant? Are they
really asleep?
Ryan – Falston, MD
With the warm days of summer now a distant memory and fall following in its footsteps your Koi are left with a few months of cold weather with nothing to do but relax. Since they don't have miniature submerged Koi calendars to check what is it that tells your fish it is time to hibernate?
Koi are cold blooded creatures which means their body temperatures and activity levels are directly correlated with the ambient temperature. Koi are active and alert when their environment is warm and will start to slow down as the water temperature decreases. Once the water temperatures start to dip below 46°F your fish tend to stop eating and will retreat to the bottom of the pond. Your fish use the decrease in temperature along with the shortening day lengths as a trigger to prepare for winter. As the water begins to cool your fish will become less active as their bodily functions slow down. Less activity means a slower digestive process, less demand for food. It is this decrease in food digestion that warrants the use of wheat germ based foods like Pond Logic® Spring & Fall Fish Food. These types of food are easier to digest that regular food reducing the risk of leaving undigested food to rot inside a dormant fish which can potentially be fatal.
As the temperatures continue to decline towards 40°F, the blood flow and respiratory rate of the fish will drop to an extremely low rate where their body is hardly functioning. You may hear people say that your Koi are sleeping in the winter and while fish do sleep this goes way beyond the standard drop in bodily functions associated with some much needed shut-eye. This extreme internal slow down ensure survival with even the most limited resources with cases of dormant fish lasting 150 days without food.
The whole over-wintering scenario sounds a little extreme to us but it is truly a natural and normal process for your fish. They do not require much attention in the winter but there are a few things you can do to ensure their winter break is a success. When a layer of ice begins to form over the pond, maintain an opening for gas exchange using your aerator or a de-icer. Also, make sure you feed with a cold weather formulated fish food as water temperatures approach 50° so your fish are able to safely digest it before hibernation begins. You can use a pond thermometer to keep track of the water temperature in your water garden.

Queer And Queerer Ep. 80 – Toto, We're Not In Kansas Anymore
Zack and Peterson have new stories to tell about foreign worlds. Peterson's new projects addressing climate change are not getting the warmest reception in LGBT spaces, nor are there many LGBT people at the climate change conferences he's attended. Likewise, Zack attended his first atheist conference, speaking at the American Atheists national conference in April, and similarly observed that queer people were simply underrepresented. What's it like being queer in these accepting yet strangely uninclusive spaces? Oh, and Marvin Bloom's around somewhere too.

In the eighth inning last night, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was standing on the top step of the dugout when he took a foul ball from Dexter Fowler off his left leg. Tulowitzki told the Denver Post the leg went numb and that he thought it might have been broken, but X-rays were negative. Tulowitzki has a deep bruise, and he's going to be day-to-day. Much credit to Colorado's team trainer for providing him with as much instant relief as he could muster.

Church of San Miguel
Alfaro is in the Region of La Rioja, northern Spain, washed by the waters of the Ebro and Alhama Rivers. Stroll through the centre of the town and discover churches and palaces with centuries of history, witnesses of its ancient splendour, such as the old Abbey and Abbey Palace (18th century), and the San Miguel Collegiate Church, a Baroque masterpiece from the end of the 17th century. It is also well worth visiting the archaeological site at Eras de San Martín, as well as the Ninfeo Romano, a Roman water system with the Cultural Property designation.
Besides this, Alfaro has a spectacular colony of storks, the world's largest nesting on one single building. More than 400 of these birds choose the San Miguel Collegiate Church for their nests. Watching this number of storks flying through the air is an unforgettable spectacle. If you like going on outings, be sure to explore the Sotos del Ebro Nature Reserve, or take a stroll on Mount Yerga. Furthermore, for several days during the San Roque fiestas in mid August, the town fills with fun and music, parades of "giants and big-heads", bullfights, cultural events and gastronomic competitions, amongst other activities.

So I've yet to play any of the Halo games, even though they've been out practically during my entire teen years. This simple tutorial can show you a few sweet ways to 'draw Master Chief from Halo' in the easiest way possible. Now, it's best that you try to draw the beginning guidelines to accurately proportion the facials and symmetry correctly. Do no skip or rush, because this will lead into failure of focusing your efforts on the drawing instead of rushing through it.

NEW YORK HAVANA SHANGHAI VOL. IV NEW YORK, APRIL 15, 1921 No. 4 "Know Thyself" IN these latter days we hear many voices raised to extol the merits of self-confidence. Self-confidence, we are told, is indispensable; it is the quality which expands the chest, raises the head, enables a man to look his neighbor straight in the eye, to persevere in his aims, to surmount obstacles; in short, to achieve. And yet, what do the biographies of great men tell us? In the circle of our own observation, what is our experience? We all know that many who have been acclaimed as the great ones of the earth have been the most modest of men in estimating their own performance. Far from being sure of themselves, they have proceeded cautiously, often in fear and trembling, and with torturing doubts of the ultimate result. Their faith, not in themselves, but in the goal they were striving for, upheld them. Who can fathom the depths of discouragement that must have filled the heart of Washington at Valley Forge? Lincoln, too, even while pursuing an undeviating course, was harassed and racked in soul by the cruel responsibilities of his position. If the truth were known, many great and successful men might confess to a sense of defeat—so slight, in their eyes, has appeared their actual accomplishment in comparison with the loftier ideal they had striven, with undaunted courage, to realize. On the other hand, it has passed into a proverb that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread." There is no one who has not seen the cocksure, complacent blunderer wreaking havoc, or drawing upon himself the ridicule of his fellows, all in sublime and fatuous unawareness of his own limitations. In his case, his self-confidence is his undoing. Self-confidence, it must be admitted, is an unsafe guide. Like many another desirable quality, it is a good servant, but a bad master. Without the light of self-knowledge it stumbles in the dark. "Know thyself" is the beginning of all wisdom. To say that it is not easy of attainment is as true as to concede once for all that nothing worth doing or having is easy. It calls for a constant and searching examination into the sources of one's own weakness and strength—an exercise of judgment which is just as necessary for the man who errs through over-confidence as for him who is prone to disparage himself unduly. It does not by any means imply an excess of self-consciousness, a priggish attitude, or a morbid introspection. It is a purely intellectual process. Nothing surely could be more to a man's interest and advantage than this deliberate

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: From Inspired Youth to Inventors
The two young men who were to be the first to fly were born in the midwest shortly after the Civil War. Wilbur Wright was born on a farm near Millville, 8 miles east of New Castle, Indiana, April 16, 1867. Four years younger, Orville Wright was born in Dayton, Ohio, August 19, 1871. For most of their lives, Wilbur and Orville Wright lived in Dayton, Ohio and although they traveled to many places, the Wright brothers always considered Dayton their home. It was in Dayton where the Wright brothers grew up, were educated and embarked upon their careers. Even as children, it seemed that Wilbur and Orville were destined for greatness. Within the brothers stirred creative and mechanical minds. Their parents, Milton Wright, a Bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, and Susan Koerner Wright supported and encouraged the boys' inventiveness. Orville recognized the advantages of his youth:
We were lucky enough to grow up in a home environment where there was always much encouragement to children to pursue intellectual interests; to investigate whatever aroused curiosity. In a different kind of environment our curiosity might have been nipped long before it could have borne fruit.¹
During their childhood, Wilbur and Orville made several experiments and inventions, which symbolized what lay ahead for the gifted pair. At a young age, Wilbur, to earn pocket money, took on a job of folding an entire issue of an eight-page church paper. However, the work became too tedious and tiring, so Wilbur invented a machine to do the folding for him. Likewise, young Orville earned money by making and selling kites. The brothers' first joint project was the building of a six-foot treadle-powered wood lathe, a pedal-powered machine for shaping a piece of material by rotating it rapidly along its axis while pressing against a fixed cutting tool. The lathe was the talk of the neighborhood and the start of a close working relationship between the brothers that would last throughout their lifetime.
One of the most significant investigations of the Wright brothers' childhood was their experiment with a toy helicopter that their father had given them. It was this toy that permanently planted the idea of flying machines in the brothers' heads. Orville recalled:
Our first interest (in flight) began when we were children. Father brought home to us a small toy actuated by a rubber spring which would lift itself into the air. We built a number of copies of this toy, which flew successfully….But when we undertook to build the toy on a much larger scale it failed to work so well. The reason for this was not understood by us so we finally abandoned the experiments.²
Orville took an interest in printing early in life; at the age of 12 he formed the printing firm of Sines and Wright with his friend and neighbor, Ed Sines. Together, they started The Midget; a weekly newspaper "devoted to the interests of the Intermediate School."³ In the meantime, Wilbur was also involved with printing. As early as 1888 at the age of 21, Wilbur wrote and published short pamphlets for his father's church.
Wilbur and Orville Wright opened their first printing business together at their house at 7 Hawthorne Street in 1889. Their first print shop (outside the home), was located at 1210 West Third Street from 1889 to 1890 and their third print shop from 1890 to 1895, was in the Hoover block, located at the corner of West Third and South Williams Streets. Not only was the printing business important as the brothers' first joint business venture, it was also an influential experience in the development of the brothers' mechanical, writing, and business skills, each of which became essential in the engineering, documentation, protection, promotion and sale of their invention of the airplane. The printing machinery they designed was representative of the inventive solutions that gave the brothers the experience they eventually employed in the development of the airplane.
Although the printing business was operating comfortably, by 1892, Wilbur and Orville needed another challenge. That December, the brothers opened their first bicycle shop, taking advantage of the extreme popularity of the bicycle in Dayton and throughout the country during the 1890s. There they sold various brands of bicycles and repaired virtually all makes and models for their neighbors on the West Side of Dayton, Ohio.
The seasonal demand for bicycles, combined with the ever-expanding mechanical skills of the Wright brothers, led to their decision to construct and sell their own brand of bicycles at The Wright Cycle Company. This decision, though it was not known at the time, would be pivotal in the eventual development of the world's first successful airplane. The Wright brothers released their own line of bicycles, ultimately consisting of three models, starting in 1896. At the same time, their printing business continued to expand their curious minds for knowledge of the outside world.
The Wright brothers did not graduate from high school, but were two self-taught engineers who never lost their love for learning and were constantly seeking new ways of solving old problems. The Wrights' father instilled a hard-work ethic in them at an early age. Their mechanical skills and innovations, however, are believed to be the result of the influence of their mother, who taught them how to use tools and work with their hands. Wilbur and Orville were much more than skilled craftsmen who just happened upon the secret of powered flight, they were, in fact two highly intelligent individuals who worked hard to gain the engineering expertise to make the idea of powered flight a reality.

The New York Knicks will try to get back on track Wednesday night when they host their Atlantic Division rival, the Toronto Raptors, at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks have lost two of their last three, including a tough home loss Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Clippers. L.A.'s bench led the way in a decisive fourth quarter as Jamal Crawford and Eric Bledsoe anchored an attack that saw the reserves score 48 points.
"Their bench has been good for them all year, our bench has been great for us. That was the difference tonight," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "We just didn't get it tonight. I had a lot to do with that."
Woodson tried to go with Amare Stoudemire for offense in the fourth, but the Clippers took advantage of Stoudemire's defensive inadequacies. Woodson also didn't use the bench much outside of Stoudemire and J.R. Smith. No reserve played more than seven minutes besides those two.
Carmelo Anthony led the way with 42 points and Raymond Felton added 20. No other Knicks player scored in double figures.
This will be the Knicks last game before the All-Star break. Anthony was elected as a starter for the Eastern Conference team and will be joined in Houston by center Tyson Chandler, who will make his first All-Star game appearance.
The Raptors have enjoyed the return on their investment in Rudy Gay. After he made a game-winner in overtime against the Indiana Pacers Friday, Gay drained the deciding bucket with 4.8 seconds to play to defeat the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
Gay was anchored to the bench with foul trouble through most of the fourth, but came back and led the Raptors to their third straight victory.
"My hands were sweating, I couldn't stop moving my legs. I was itching to get back in," said Gay. "Obviously it's not a game I'm proud of, but I'm proud to get a win with the team. I'm happy the team still had confidence in me."
His coach knew Gay would be up to the challenge.
"He's a closer," said Dwane Casey. "His role card has closer all across the front of it. He has done it his whole career. He has done it at high levels, like in the playoffs. I have seen him do it so many times. That is what he does."
Gay failed to score 20 points for the first time as a Raptor when he finished with 17. DeMar DeRozan led the way with 22, followed by John Lucas III, who netted 14 points with 12 coming on fourth-quarter 3-pointers. Kyle Lowry had 11 points and 10 assists and Alan Anderson scored all 10 of his points in the final frame.
Since acquiring Gay in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto is 4-2.
This is, surprisingly, the first meeting of the season between the division rivals. The two split last season's four matchups with each side winning once at home and once on the road.
