Will this work on products that are moved a lot? In other words, I want to keep a sculpture from tipping if I have to pick it up.- Asked by Connie Crawford on 02-Apr-14
We recommend using Museum Putty instead. Museum Putty is suggested for items that are frequently moved.- Answered by MisterArt on 08-Apr-14
What are good solvents for this product?- Asked by Len C. on 31-Oct-13
This product is meant for non-porous surfaces. If it has been put on a porous surface there will be a greasy residue that has probably seeped in. If it has been on the object for a long time, and has hardened, it can be softened with a heat dryer, and then cut off with dental floss. Also, light residue can be taken off with a citrus cleaner.- Answered by MisterArt on 31-Oct-13

Cvr needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
We're looking for a wine label for a private bottling. The producers of the wine are canadian so the labal should have some attachement to the country.
wine connoisseurs with a sense of humor
Label should be 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches.
Must have some attachment to Canada. That means maple trees with wine bottles catching the sap instead of buckets (you can find pics of that on google). Moose, beavers, mounties, the canadian flag, hockey, ice, eskimos, polar bears, igloos. Must have grapes or wine bottles in the graphic.
We'll give lots of feedback to point you in the right direction but for now we're open to any ideas as long as they have something to do with Canada and wine.
We'll choose the name of the wine based on the winning design.

With Blizzcon starting tomorrow and the relatively few posts I've written recently I think it's a good idea to take a shot in the dark and address some of my expectations for Blizzcon. I'm actually quite surprised by the complete lack of information being leaked. As you probably remember, before the last Blizzcon we pretty much knew everything two weeks before Blizzcon was held. The Worgen and Goblin masks were in the datafiles pretty much confirming them as the new playable races. Cataclysm was trademarked and there were tons of lore leaks that gave us a good idea of what the trademark meant.
The big question now is if the lack if information is due to Blizzard protecting it's info really well or a lack of juicy info. In my opinion it's probably a bit of both. First of all, MMO Champion has been the primary source of leaks in the past, but it looks like Blizzard made a deal during the Cataclysm Alpha that turned off that specket of info. It's clear that MMO Champion has had early access to Alpha, Beta, and PTR releases, and my guess is that Blizzard gave them access to the information in return for not disclosing it early. So, my guess is that MMO Champion already has a lot of details of what's going to be announced this weekend, but is keeping their mouth shut as a part of the deal. That said, I doubt the next expansion will follow the traditional pattern of expansion updates and I wonder if there are really any big announcements to be made other then the existence of a new expansion.
Time to Eat Some Crow:
You probably remember that I predicted that the Mists of Pandaria trademark was red herring, but I am not confident in that prediction any more. With Blizzcon starting tomorrow, I don't know what else the new expansion could be. That said, I still think many of the assumptions made by players about what that title means are wrong.
First off, Pandaria and the Pandaren are completely undeveloped lore wise, and most of the lore that is out there is from the RPG books which Blzzard has said is not canon. I have a really hard time believing that Blizzard would base an entire expansion off of such and undeveloped part of the games story. It seems highly unlikely to me especially when Blizzard has expressed some regret at making the Draenei a play able race without much established lore.
So, if Mists of Pandaria isn't completely Panda focused, what kind of story can we expect. I think an Island focused expansion like the one outlined in a Know Your Lore post by Anne Stickney on WoW Insider, and I'm thinking of it as Cataclysm: Part Two. Lets remember that the original concept of Cataclysm was a bit bigger then what has been released. For example, Neptulon was originally intended to be a raid boss in Tier 12, but Blizzard scrapped it when they decided to shrink the tiers. Blizzard also has said they wanted to do something with Kul Tiras but couldn't get to it right away. Also, Blizzard did a lot of work to set up the Old Gods and the Naga with out either of them being a big part of Cataclysm story arc. Finally, due to the Blizzard timeline that was leaked a year ago, we know that Blizzard had next expansion (loosely) scheduled for 2nd quarter 2012.
In my mind, this all adds up to a clean up expansion that goes and fills in some of the holes left by Cataclysm and prepare the story for the the big Good vs Evil fight that is in Velen's Prophecy. My guess is that the new expansion's ending boss will be Queen Azshara with an Old God being an tier end boss. I'm expecting a one two punch much like we saw in WotLK with Yogg in Ulduar leading up to Lich King.
What I don't expect to see from this expansion is a new playable race or a new class. I know a lot of people got all excited at the idea of playable Pandarans but I don't see it happening. First, for game reasons I don't think they will ever make a race available to both classes. Blizzard is really big on player Silhouette in PvP, and having one race playable by both factions messes that up. Second, I don't think they would Pandaran to just one faction given how popular the race would likely be. In the end, I think having Pandaran as a playable race is likely to be a bigger headache then Blizzard is willing undertake.
I also think a new class is a bit unlikely since I don't see the advantage of having a new class. When the Death Knight was added in WotLK it made some sense. The game was a little light on Tanking Classes, and given the tanking shortage in general it made sense to have a tank that didn't have to start at level one. Plus, Death Knights fit in to the overall theme of the expansion extremely well. However, I think looking back the the process of adding a new class proved to be much more difficult then Blizzard expected. Death Knights had balance issues for most of the expansion, and I personally don't think they had a big impact on the pool of available tanks. For Blizzard to add a new class to the game again, I think they will have to see a very definite hole in the game for it to be worth the effort, and I don't think that whole currently exists.
Other Quick Thoughts:
- What I would like to see from the next expansion is a more Alliance focused expansion. It may be my bias, but most of the lore for the past few expansions has been more Horde focused, and I think it's time to shift the story back to the Alliance a little. To expand on that, I hope they leave Thrall out of the Horde leadership and keep Garrosh as the faction leader. I also hope they continue with the evolution of Varian Wrynn started at the end of the new book Wolfsheart, and give the Alliance a senseble leader while the Horde has the hot headed idiot for a change.
- I doubt there will be much if any Class specific info at Blizzcon, and even less info focused on Moonkin, but obviously I would like to hear something in that regard. Specifically I would like to hear their thoughts on the complexity of the Moonkin rotation. I personally have felt that it is a little over complicated for a while now and would like to see it simplified a little bit.

The poor in Egypt
Hanan, 3 orphans, 100 pounds from pension
Hammad, 4 kids, retarded
Rawya (Bahbouha), 7 orphans, deaf, unemployed, no pension
Rabee'a, 5 kids, deaf husband
Fatma, 5 girls, husband died after kidney failure
Um Hashim, widow, 58 pounds from pension, heart disease
Eatemad, 2 girls and 1 boy, divorced, 90 pounds income, the daughter is sick
Um Mohammed, 2 kids, no income, husband has kidney failure
Fayza, 5 kids, husband has kidney failure
Fay'a, 4 orphans
Fawzeya, 2 handicapped kids
Mabrouka, one daughter paralyzed, the other unmarried
Manal, burnt
Mostafa, paralyzed
Saeed, handicapped with one leg, died.
Samara, died.
and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on.
Everytime I do this I have mixed feelings of relief and satisfaction, as well as pity and helplessness. That Chinese proverb always hits me hard, to teach someone how to fish, versus giving them the fish to eat.
We used to walk around from house to house, which made the experience have a much stronger effect on me. Now, they're way too many to walk around their houses. The poor in Egypt are getting poorer, and their numbers is constantly on the rise, and they all have rights.
My grandmas used to own many of the surrounding land, but now the city slums have crawled in eating most of it, and inhabiting the village with the poor, and that's the only connection we have left with the place.
I've realized a while back that the few progressive thoughts I have regarding women, are not because I spent sometime in the West, not because of Laura Bush or Suzanne, and not because of our Sheikhs who preach that Islam liberated women but believe and act differently, but because of my family and my grandmothers. The two of them who were among the first female physicians in Egypt back in the 40's, and even the one who stayed home to support them while they're in medical school, and how they raised my mother and aunts as independant characters. While abit snobbish and crazy, yet full of compassion and progressiveness that they're instilling in a generation without knowing it.
Still, the poor remain poor, but with many good hearts in this country that keeps it going, and many good minds that try to teach the helpless how to fish (here's a good example of those minds).

Hi all -
Graham Hancock's new book is not that bad.
He has big stones (Gobekli Tepe, the Pyramids, Ballbek, some in south east asia, and Tiwanaku).
(Believe me, big piles of dirt do not work.)
For Christians in need of material evidence to support their faith, he has Noah's Flood.
There are three sections of color plates, and fine illustrations.
Of course, Hancock lumps all pliestocene mariners together, as well as elliding impact events,
but not as bad as many have.
Using "ancient precessional astronomy".Hancock sets a maximum period of danger from 1980 to 2040, well after he's dead.
The usual process is to make people afraid and then sell them their fears.
But instead of that, fortunately Hancock really lights into NASA,
and they truly deserve it, as we can handle this problem.
Further it looks like Hancock's PR campaign is getting some action.
Another problem, though,is is that the maximum danger may likely be as early as 2022-2023.
Cheap used copies of my own Man and Impact in the Americas, which has far more impacts than Hancock's book, are available through amazon.
Collect one today.
(BTW - Perhaps the Romans set the extremely large stones around the Temple of Jupiter as an effort to hold it still in earthquakes.
Also, perhaps the pillars at the Sphinx Temple were originally painted with hieroglyphic inscriptions,
min, I think you will enjoy Sundaland.)

This appeared in the Asian Age yesterday... and I am glad it amused Soli Sorabjee (one of my favourite men!) sufficiently, for him to call on a Sunday morning to share a few laughs. He asked me in his utterly charming Parsee -Marathi why I didn't visit Delhi more often( he lives there). I told him in my Marathi-Marathi that I didn't LIKE Delhi. Being a Mumbai boy himself, he understood the sentiment perfectly!
I drove to Pune and back with my son, Aditya , yesterday. I needed him to guide me on some 'man work' - not what you are thinking - just dull, routine municipal stuff - and we spent a wonderful day in that oven. Topping it off, as always, with a quick lunch at the Blue Diamond coffee shop - and again, as always, I packed the world's best kheema pao to take home for dinner with the rest of the family. Awaiting me was a pleasant, delicious surprise - nulen goorey ice cream. Ask your Bong friends to decode!!!
My faithful old laptop finally gave up the struggle to keep going and quietly died on me. Arundhati promptly got me a new one, but all my precious data remains trapped in the old work horse - including the promised images from Monaco, and the manuscript of the new novel I have just completed.Aah well,tomorrow is another De!
The Prince and the Showgirls…
Okay, so Prince Andrew is no Lawrence Olivier, and there wasn't a Marilyn Monroe clone in sight, but the 'vilayati rajkumar' does have an… ummm, reputation with the ladies. And Mumbai has countless fetching ladies.Perhaps he was smarting from the Capital's response to his visit. Unkind Delhi journos (after being at the receiving end of a right royal snub), had described him as having the personality of a 'traveling salesman'. But in Mumbai, the Queen of England's colourful son (better known as Randy Andy), was treated to a super swish soiree in his honour, at which he happily mingled with glamourous stars from Bollywood and of course, a few billionaires from the corporate world. From spending time with humble potters in Kumbharwadi, to making the mandatory chakkar of Dharavi, and staging a photo-op in full naval regalia while visiting the docks, our friendly prince had a packed schedule in aamchi Mumbai. Fortunately for him ( and us ), the tedium of officialdom was happily broken by a few light hearted interruptions. Like the time he was working the crowds at the official reception hosted by Peter Beckingham ( the Deputy High Commissioner), and a breathless, young, saree-clad lady rushed upto shake his hand and gush, " I just wanted to tell you I had the biggest crush on you for years… and at the royal wedding, I just couldn't take my eyes off you!" Somewhat startled by this very public and very candid confession, the obviously flattered Prince, blushed, shrugged, smiled and swiftly moved on. Reminded about the comment at the private dinner that followed the reception, he was more relaxed about the incident and joked, "I wonder if she was referring to my wedding…" The earlier stiffness was gone, as he surveyed the spectacular beach villa of his hosts ( Adi and Parmeshwar Godrej) and handled Mumbai's society queens and kings with supreme aplomb. Unusually,most of the movie stars had dutifully followed the stipulated dress code and turned up in pristine white. They looked exceptionally stylish. Especially the ladies. A few undoubtedly caught the Prince's roving eye. But were they equally interested? Naah. They hadn't heard of him! It was their big night out, and they were happy to party with one another. That's Mumbai. Ill-mannered and crass. Each person for himself /herself. No 'faltu time-waste' on some Prince… from whichever country. Was he offering any of them a role? Anything else? No, na? Then why bother? Social propriety be damned.
The local presswallas left him pretty much alone as well. Those who turned up at the Reception, looked bored and restless when they realized no Bollywood celebs were likely to saunter in. One photographer asked loudly, "That man in a grey suit… is he the Prince? Of which country?" Nobody was embarrassed. His buddy replied, "Woh Prince Charles hai na… Diana-walla? Yeh uska bhai hai…" Poor Andrew. Nobody has ever called him 'Bonny'. And everybody has mocked his choice of wife, even though Fergie the Redhead, remains her original feisty, bold and brazen self through various trials and tribulations that tabloids on both sides of the Atlantic love to expose. Her ex- insists they remain the best of friends. Which is very civilized of him. It's actually pretty damn wonderful to have a 'major' Royal who is as unstuffy and regular as Andrew. Today, the poor guy has to go out and earn his keep. Gamely perform 'royal duties'. Shake hands with people he isn't likely to meet ever again in his busy life. Make polite noises and feign deep interest in subjects ranging from the tattered state of the economy to the grim future of potters in a Mumbai slum. It's a tough life! At one point during the Reception, I saw the poor man collared by one of Mumbai's biggest bores, who didn't give him a chance to greet several others waiting in a long line to meet the Queen's emissary. Later at the elegant Godrej soiree, a group of Japanese invitees surrounded him and asked him to sign copies of some books they'd brought along. Being Japanese, they clicked several pictures while they were at it. Once again, my heart went out to Bechara Andrew. There were so many alluring single ladies floating around… and there was this single guy not being allowed to hang with any of them. I am sure he would have found Sushmita Sen's company most fascinating. Or Sushma Reddy's for that matter. Both are beautiful and have a lot to say for themselves.
Being seen as a broke Prince can't be easy. But this guy makes it appear effortless. We have quite a few kadka maharajahs in India. But they appear pretty pathetic as they scrounge around for freebies. They have yet not woken up to India's new realities where their own stock is seriously low and our billionaires are the real, 21st century Maharajahs.There were at least four of them ( billionaires) at the Godrej villa that night. And the royal aura they'd appropriated for themselves was too dazzling to miss. As awe struck diplomats walked around the spectacular premises, taking in the priceless art and marveling at the extravagance of it all , it was really a snapshot of today's aggressive new India – unapologetic about its wealth and position. If the buffet tables groaned under monstrously large lobsters and massive crabs, if the hors d'oeuvres featured caviar, and the champagne was Dom, it was an indication of more than just the high net worth of the billionaire hosts. It was a taste of what is possible, of what is taking place…. just 63 years after the sun set on the Indian empire, and we had our own national anthem in place of 'God Save the Queen'. If the Prince was aware of the irony, he camouflaged it well. He was, after all, a mere messenger. Why shoot the messenger??

Mitt Romney Just Changed His Location to 'Utah'
Mitt Romney hasn't publicly said whether he plans to run for the Senate now that Utah's Sen Orrin Hatch is retiring, but he may have provided a clue via Twitter: Hours after Hatch announced the move, Romney changed his location from "Massachusetts" to "Holladay, Utah" in what Bloomberg sees as a move to "quash questions about his residency" before a Senate run.
A source close to Romney tells the Salt Lake Tribune that the former Massachusetts governor, who has close ties to Utah, felt that Tuesday was "Orrin's day" and is saving the announcement for another time. "We all know the direction this is going," the insider says

When considering a gift that they boys could help to make for their teachers this year, this idea came to mind. I love the classic look and feel of the schoolhouse green chalkboard and the multi-funtionality of the clipboard. Each clipboard took less than thirty minutes to make, and will hopefully be cherished for years to come.
Merry Christmas!

Temporarily layed up, RT had no problem answering a few probing questions about his personal life. Connecticut's favorite son and Salomon's newest addition managed to squeeze us in between beard growing, face-cave stuffing and a Hogan Knows Best marathon.
1. What's it like to be RT?
It's crazy. Dodging paparazzi, eating beluga whale caviar, and being a constant sex symbol isn't the easiest nine-to-five. But no big deal.
2. Are you a germaphobe?
Kind of, well … I'm not gonna lie. It's a little out a hand. But look at the bright side, I don't get sick to often
3. And a pop culture junkie?
Yeah, that crap is super funny to me. VH1 has some funny ass shows—you missed the Flava Flave reunion! I'm consumed by MTV and that kind of entertainment. But its not like I have Corey Feldman and Kelly Kapowski posters on my walls.
4. Is it weird if I have those posters on my walls?
No way, I just had to eBay all my Tiger Beat mag's to pay my cell phone bill. Or else that would be my wallpaper too.
5. When did you move to Breckenridge?
I moved here from Connecticut when I was in 8th grade, about nine years ago.
6. Do you stay here year round?
Now I do. I used to live in SLC for the winters because I couldn't hang with all the party time. And it didn't help that I was the guy who blacked out and got into a bunch of crap.
7. How was your trip to Japan?
It was super fun—tallest guy there. Shredding was fun and the people are overly polite. The Nippon Open was fun—rail contest was good. And the thing where you sing to the TV was awesome!
8. What else have you been up to this winter?
I've been filming with the new MDPeople crew—the JV squad. It's been super fun, but fighting injury and weather is difficult. I've been trying to be active with my sponsors, that's always key. Other than that, I've been "training" for the past week, for the next go around at the Olympics in 2010. I'm pre-qualified, so really it's party time for the next three years
9. What trends are you pulling for in '07?
I'm really pulling for a Bel Biv Devo come back. And if your not doing back to back 1080's—What's the point?
10. What's this I hear about making moves on a schoolteacher?
Oh snap! Funniest thing, I ran into her in the grocery store two summers ago. And she totally called me out, "So I'm your old girlfriend?" and the cat had my tongue. But then she follows it up by saying "give me your number, we should go out for a beer sometime"—so funny. But yes we had some extra curricular activities back then.
That's amazing, I'm very proud of you.
Thanks buddy, my girlfriend would say other wise.

A confession: I've never worn them. They have just been sitting with my stud collection for months. I absolutely love the charms though, they're so quirky, especially the cupid. So I decided to take one of the earrings apart and make some ear cuffs. This way, they'll be put to use.
Nothing complicated, the materials were just: ear cuffs, jump rings and charms. To replicate, you don't really need tools as long as you have the nails to bend the rings. It's so easy, a minute later and tada, something new and different to wear.
This is a good way to upcycle old vintage clip on jewelry.
Three ear cuffs from one earring, it's a good deal. I'm going to keep a lookout for vintage jewelry during spring yard sale time! Can't wait.
A 'connected' ear cuff. I don't know what to call these kinds of earrings. I think these need to be kept simple. I don't really like the look of hooks for ear cuffs, so I ordered rhinestone studs. I hope to get them soon!
Thanks for reading, be back soon with photographs of some new creations.

The Nimbus (registry BP-1729) is the flagship of the DOOP fleet, which docks at the South Street Spaceport. In command of this impressive vessel is the equally impressive 25-Star-General Zapp Brannigan. This massive vessel has enough firepower to blow up a large space-station (2ACV02), and is capable of entering a planet's atmosphere to deploy troops to the surface (2ACV17). It is also equipped with a Holo-Shed (4ACV01), where the crew can rest and relax between suicide missions. The Nimbus looks like a cross between the mouth of a shark and a can of ham, and has fourteen decks (4ACV05). The ship was severely damaged by the Decapodians when Earth and Decapod 10 were at war, but was later repaired and rescued the Planet Express crew from an energy being—by arresting them. (4ACV11) During 3007, the Nimbus was struck and fell towards Earth, though it is unknown if it was destroyed.
- Debut:Love's Labours Lost in Space (1ACV04)
- When Aliens Attack (1ACV12)

Thanks all for baking with us this monh, it was a real pleasure to see all your entries and read about it on your blogs/in the mail. Here you can see the wonderful entries of the February recipe.... hope to see you all again next time!!
Thanks Anissa for this wonderful recipe and your kind permission to publish it here, we all had a lot of fun with it. I love her book where this recipe stars in "Savory baking from the Mediterranean".
If I missed the mail anyone for this round up or I forgot to sent the badge by mistake, let me know please and I'll fix it.
Connie from "My discovery of bread" added some nigella seeds and black and white sesame seeds to her biscotti and didn't use wine but water. Lovely all those little black specks!
Gilad doesn't have a blog, but shared some of her photo's of the biscotti with us and share her ideas in the mail: It went out delicious (How can go wrong with such outrageous amount of olive oil?)
I made 2 changes to the recipe:I replace the anise with allspice (I hate anise)
I don't drink wine, so I omit the wine and put water instead.
I don't have an official blog like you all do, but I have a modest site in which I put my vegan recipes (most of them sweet).
Kelly from "A messy kitchen" made the biscotti with "a mix of flours, spelt, semolina, and all purpose as well as a mix of fennel, sesame and caraway seeds for my "what's available in the pantry" version". Well done (I love pantry available twists!)
Last but certainly not least is Sandie "Crumbs of love". She is a dare-it-all and added a lot of things at first that didn't work out in the end, so she made a second attempt and these biscotti are too die for. Perseverence... I like that.
Thanks again for baking with us!!

You've heard of luxury taxes, imposed on high-end items such as yachts.
You've heard of luxury taxes, imposed on high-end items such as yachts.
Then there are sin taxes on vices like cigarettes and big gulp sodas, aimed at curbing consumption and promoting health.
Now, Westfall township supervisors are proposing a tax on fun.
They want a 1 percent tax on anything considered entertainment where admission is charged, except for movie theaters, which are exempt.
It started as a proposed tax on canoe rentals and fireworks sales.
Supervisors tried to sell it by explaining that it would mostly be paid by out-of-towners.
This week they eliminated the tax on fireworks sales and expanded the proposed tax to all entertainment.
Some in Westfall applauded the supervisors' efforts to find more money, believing this fun tax will result in lower property taxes.
But that won't happen anytime soon. Supervisors have indicated that the township budget is very tight.
If enacted, then this tax will hit middle-class Pike County; exactly the people supervisors originally said they were trying to avoid taxing.
At Delaware Valley School District, the price of admission at high school sporting events, plays and other activities will include the tax.
Will parents stay home from these events? Of course not, the tax is just another ding in the family pocketbook.
School Superintendent John Bell said, through his assistant, that the district had not seen the wording of the proposed tax and would not be able to comment.
But by taxing admission to high school football games, Westfall is targeting families.
The tax applies to other wholesome activities too: golf driving ranges, music in parks, circuses and carnival rides.
In addition to the four canoe liveries, affected businesses include Have a Hoot, an indoor recreation venue with a climbing wall, laser tag and ropes course; Malibu Dude Ranch, with its rodeos, hay rides, horseback riding and rifle range and skeet shooting; and Best Western Hunts Landing, which hosts an annual gun show, home show and other events.
"The thing that hits home for us is the gun show. If the guy who runs that incurs a 1 percent tax, he'll take his business elsewhere. It hurts everybody," said Jan Peirce, Best Western director of room sales. "If he goes away, our banquet staff doesn't have a job. It takes business away from hotels and the community."
Consumers and business owners are not the only ones affected by the fun tax.
It's easy to see jobs will be impacted by the proposed tax as well.
Supervisors are due to consider the proposal again Nov. 8.
There are sure to be attacks on the tax.

Driving force in light rail to step out of spotlight
For more than four decades, Rod Diridon has been a colorful and controversial driving force in promoting mass transit in Silicon Valley. He's the father of light rail, began pushing BART to San Jose in the 1980s and came to the rescue of Caltrain when it appear the Peninsula commuter service might die in the '90s.
Now, he's about to — almost — fade away.
Diridon, 75, has retired as executive director of the Mineta Transportation Institute, which has evolved from a little-known think tank into one with national recognition. It's a post he has held since its 1993 founding at San Jose State.
"Rod is like a locomotive when he's focused on an objective," said Metropolitan Transportation Commission Executive Director and MTI board Chairman Steve Heminger. "Best to be on board rather than in his way."
Diridon, who became a Santa County supervisor in 1974 until termed out of office two decades later, will work part time at the institute.
The Mineta Transportation Institute conducts research, education and information programs regarding transportation policy, especially related to transit.
While Diridon has been called the father of the valley's light rail system that stretches from Los Gatos through San Jose and into Mountain View, he has also been dogged by the train's disappointing ridership and high cost.
Where the trolleys were expected to carry more than 40,000 riders each weekday by 1992 — a figure later revised to 12,000 — the count is 35,572 today.
And, in 1994, the man with one-time presidential ambitions was named the least trusted leader in San Jose, according to a Mercury News survey.
Surprisingly, light rail isn't what Diridon considers the crowning achievement of his long political career. It occurred in 1980 following a statewide attempt to pass Proposition 6, which would have made it illegal for gays to teach in public schools.
The defeat spawned a local push for a gay-rights initiative for county workers, guaranteeing they could not be discriminated against because of sexual preference.
Former San Jose council member David Pandori, then a student at SJSU, remembers going to the board and hearing Diridon make "this really eloquent speech" on behalf of the local initiative.
"To his credit, Rod really stepped up to bat," said Wiggsy Sivertsen, a retired professor at SJSU and activist in the gay and lesbian community. "It was a very heated and difficult debate, and Rod absorbed quite a punishment. But I've always appreciated what he did."
Retired judge takes on the 'Scarlet eLetter'
Some lawyers become judges and disappear from notice. Not so Eugene Hyman, who took controversial stands while on the Santa Clara County Superior Court bench. Now, in an article for a local law review, he proves he's no less outspoken since he retired.
In a 44-page article in the Santa Clara Law Review, Hyman sounds off on what he and scholars dub the "Scarlet eLetter."
The term, derived from the fictional disgrace of the adulterous Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, refers to the "scarlet criminal record (of female offenders) that endures with equal stigma" in this electronic age.
Hyman decries the host of "collateral consequences" that dog women with even low-level criminal records, including denial of jobs, housing, welfare and civic rights, as well as struggles over child custody. His primary concern is for their children, who pay the price of their mothers' transgressions, no matter how long ago they occurred.
It's hard to argue with his impassioned call to arms: "It is unconscionable and cruel," Hyman wrote, "to haphazardly deny a single mother and child a roof over their head and basic sustenance for a nonviolent drug offense."
But there's no consensus nationwide on the remedies he discusses, including diversion programs in which someone who committed such crimes as petty theft would be ordered to complete a specially designed program of classes to avoid a criminal record. Even more controversial is the notion of stamping a "past-due date" on older records, meaning they would essentially expire after eight years or so.
The article follows at least three other outspoken stances Hyman took while on the bench. He retired in March 2011.
In a 2005 op-ed piece, he advocated letting judges nominate Supreme Court nominees.
In 2010, he declared a man who had been accused of murder factually innocent over the objections of then-District Attorney Dolores Carr's office. The judge used the opportunity to defend Judge Andrea Bryan, the target of a rare blanket boycott by prosecutors after she ruled against them in a molestation case. Also in 2010, Hyman wrote an op-ed piece in the Mercury News urging then-District Attorney-elect Jeff Rosen to focus on prison reform.
Perez still holding firm in state controller race
It wasn't looking good last week for Assemblyman John Perez' bid to become the next state controller. But Perez wasn't giving up easily.
The June primary winnowed the field down to front-runner Ashley Swearengin, the Republican mayor of Fresno, and a nail-biter between Democrats Perez and state Board of Equalization member Betty Yee.
A final batch of votes counted in Lake County last week appeared to hoist Yee above Perez for the right to advance to the November runoff against Swearengin. But fewer than 500 votes separated the two Democrats. So, while Yee awaited a concession last week, Perez pondered a recount.
"After nearly a month of counting votes and a vote margin of just 1/100th of one percent, out of more than 4 million votes cast, nobody would like to the see this process completed more than we would," Perez said in a note to supporters. "Since this is one of the closest statewide elections in the history of California, we have an obligation to review and ensure that every vote cast is accurately counted. During our review, we will also determine whether a recount is warranted."
Swalwell spars with Perry at border detention center
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Dublin, went to Texas last week to talk border security with the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry. After touring a detention center where hundreds of Central American children have been kept after crossing the border, Swalwell sparred with Perry at a Homeland Security Committee field hearing.
"Do you not agree that they need to be sent back to where they're from?" the GOP governor prodded Swalwell.
"I do agree on a case-by-case basis, we do not want them to come here," Swalwell replied. "The challenge, though, is that where they're from doesn't necessarily cooperate with us."
"But you agree — I want you on the record here in front of God and everybody — you agree that they need to be sent back to the country where they are from?" Perry continued.
"Governor, I agree that we can, on a case-by-case basis — but I hope you understand that it's not as easy as catching a child from Guatemala and just dropping them on a corner in Guatemala."
"I didn't say this was going to be easy," Perry parried. "It's never been easy."

Helu, Henery Know There's More to Life Than Football
Randy York's N-Sider
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name and hometown and share your thoughts on Nebraska's Life Skills program and its commitment to community outreach. Your ideas may be published at the bottom of this column.
The day before Nebraska's season-opener, two of the Huskers' biggest football stars got in a van for a 15-minute drive to meet a longtime season ticketholder.
Keith Zimmer, Nebraska's associate athletic director of Life Skills, reminded the two players that Ron Brooks was a "huge fan" with terminal brain cancer.
Brooks, who headed the computer department for the City of Lincoln for nearly 34 years, had been asked by hospice workers if there was anything that he would like beyond their care and his family's love.
The soft-spoken, hard-working and kind-hearted 71-year-old husband, father and grandfather surprised his family when he said he'd like to meet a couple Nebraska football players before they played their first game and started a season that he might not see to the finish line.
Brooks told workers his favorite player was defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, but close behind were running back Roy Helu Jr. and place-kicker/punter Alex Henery.
Zimmer told hospice that Suh had a class Friday morning, so he couldn't make it to the assisted living facility, but he would check with Helu and Henry about their availability.
Helu, the Huskers' leading rusher in 2008, and Henry, the kicker who saved the season with his record-breaking 57-yard field goal against Colorado, said yes, they would like to meet a loyal fan in an important hour of need.
"At first, I wasn't sure I could handle what this man was experiencing," Helu said. "But then, I just recognized the responsibility I have as an ambassador of the university and a follower of Christ who carries the word with me. I knew I would be strong enough to be in that situation. It was really more spiritual than just physically being there. It was good for all of us, but words can't really describe how it was."
Henery: Experience Put Life in Perspective
Henery agreed. "None of us knew what to expect, and words are really inadequate when you describe how you feel or what that meant to their family," he said. "It just puts life into perspective and shows that while everyone is watching you, you can still create time to give to others. It was an experience that will stay with me for a long time."
Zimmer, who sends Nebraska student-athletes across Lincoln for all kinds of community outreach activities and across the state for out-of-season opportunities on weekends or during spring break, praised the way Helu and Henery related to Brooks and his family.
"When these guys came to Nebraska, they didn't sign up to do this," Zimmer said. "They've been kind of thrust into that responsibility. So I really admire them for taking time out of their busy schedules, and I'm always in awe of how they relate and handle some of these very difficult situations.
"They continue to impress me. But more importantly, they made an impression that will help that family hold onto and remember Ron - their husband, their father and their grandfather - forever. Their taking 45 minutes out of their busy day created a lifetime memory for that family. I really appreciate these guys, and all of our student-athletes, who give of their time to make a huge impact for others."
Zimmer remembers when Helu was a true freshman and his department took the freshman recruiting class to a retirement home for their first community relations experience in college.
"Roy met a gentleman who was 101 years old, and Roy was very intrigued by that," Zimmer said. "Roy was instantly drawn to that gentleman and wanted to let him know that he had a lot of wisdom that Roy could benefit from more than the other way around.
"There's always something special at every outreach visit Roy does," Zimmer said. "He really impresses you every time because he shows that he gets it, and he's so much more than just a football player. Thousands of people know Roy on Saturdays as a football player, but people like me and others, we're lucky. We get to see that Roy and Alex - and so many others - are so much deeper than that."
Wife's Faith, Demeanor Impressed Helu
Helu initiated most of the conversation Friday with the Brooks' family and said that Ron's wife, Susan, helped make the experience "awesome" because "she reminded me of a verse in Proverbs."
Fighting back a few tears, Susan showed she's "a woman who is so respectful and watches over her husband and children and grandchildren," Helu said. "It was great to meet someone who's been married more than 40 years and sees the rewards of her relationship with God, her husband and the rest of her family. She helped give me a great perspective and outlook on life beyond football. She and her family inspired me."
Susan talked about how her husband wanted to keep working even when he was retired. "He was doing some work for Homeland Security and even some real estate when the tumor hit him last November," she said.
Susan asked the players to describe what they would do leading up to the game, and Helu provided an almost hour-by-hour account, including watching a movie ("without popcorn") on Friday night.
What movie did they choose?
"Gamer," Helu said, explaining that it was about a modern-day gladiator and had to be approved by the team's Unity Council first.
Jackie Bates, a registered nurse and Ron's caseworker, asked Helu what he enjoyed doing most outside of football. Helu said he enjoyed going with three teammates on a long weekend last spring to Scottsbluff and other communities to talk about the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Ron, his wife Susan, daughter Kristi Stinette, and 5-year-old grandson Chase, learned that Henery turned down a soccer scholarship at Creighton to walk on at Nebraska with the idea of becoming the Huskers' punter. On Thursday, Henery learned he would add that duty to his place-kicking responsibilities.
Season Ticketholder Remembers Turman
Ron's daughter asked Helu and Henery to sign a football that included signatures from as far back as the 1980s. They gladly obliged, and asked Ron if he remembers some of those players.
"Yes," he said, admitting that his favorite signature on his son-in-law's ball was Matt Turman's from the 1990s "because he was a third-team quarterback who helped save a national championship."
The smile never left Ron Brooks' face during his 45 minutes Friday with two famous, but humble Huskers.
"I think it's important for Nebraska fans to know that on the same weekend of our season opener, this was not an uncommon scene," Zimmer said. "Our student-athletes go out and do this kind of stuff all the time. They do answer the call, and they're happy to do it, and do a great job while they're doing it.
"Our players get it. They understand it," Zimmer said. "They know there's more to life than Nebraska football. They're happy to have all the excitement and pandemonium, but things like this put football in perspective for them, too. It puts life and death in perspective. These two guys grew up even more with this experience, and they made huge statements . . . about themselves and what's most important."
For the Brooks family, Saturday night will be spent watching the game in a South Lincoln assisted living facility. Jeff and daughter Kristi Stinette will be there with their two children. So will son Jeff and Jennifer Brooks and their 6-year-old triplets who live in Colorado Springs.
Susan and Ron Brooks will miss their usual South Stadium seats, but she said, patting her husband's hand, "we'll enjoy watching the game here, too, won't we?"
Ron nods affirmatively, smiles and says yes, especially now that he's met two of the Huskers' biggest stars.
Voices from Husker Nation
Whoa!!!!!! Awesome article about Helu and Henery!! That's what being a Husker is all about. Janet Darst, Omaha, Neb.
Your article, "Helu, Henery Know There's More to Life Than Football", is why I'm a Husker fan. I know there are many college and pro athletes who take on responsibilities such as this, but I have always felt that The Huskers' Organization has more heart and faith than anyone else. Thank you for such a beautiful article to show how truly wonderful our team is and will always be. Richard Dickerson, Desert Hot Springs, Calif.
I really enjoy your work. Keep it up. You provide a look into Husker athletics that goes well beyond game stats. Dr. Phil Warrick, Principal, Round Rock High School, Round Rock, Texas
Great article! Thank you for a wonderful inside story about the players away from the football field. It is nice to get a story, of which I am sure there are many more, that tells a great story about a couple of players. Too many stories are written on the few players who go in the opposite direction and get the majority of the press. Diane Ewing, Chaska, Minn.
Born and raised in Omaha, I now live in Colorado, and I am often asked by native Coloradoans what makes me so loyal to The Big Red. I will print the story of Helu and Henery, and when they read it, they will know without me saying a word. Joe Renner
Another good article. I forwarded it to a couple of prep school classmates of mine. Ken Softley, Topeka, Kan.
What an encouragement! An effort on everyone's part to make this happen represents the behind-the-scene, true purpose of life. Roy's humility in Christ elevates him to God's glory and makes him a true star. Thank you for putting this out. Mitchell Lichti, Lincoln, Neb.
Thanks for the terrific article on the players making a huge difference for a terminally ill, longtime fan. That is NU football! It struck me because my wife Carol was diagnosed in late 2007 with a rare type of terminal dementia, related to both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. I am her full-time caregiver and work three days a week as a sales rep. Both of us worked for the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha during the glory years of Bob Devaney. Like the couple featured in your article, our seats were also in the South Stadium. We are still huge Husker fans and have stayed loyal while living in California, South Carolina, Texas, California, and now, Texas. We are the only house on our block to fly a Husker flag. Amidst all the Texas, OU, A&M and Cowboys' hype, it can be quite a journey. Like Helu, we are followers of Christ and know He will see us through to the end. In the meantime, we are hoping to be in Waco for the Oct. 31st game against Baylor. Go Big Red! Roger Green

Blue Wednesday: Clark Stern & Chuck Cotton
July 27, 2016 · Wednesday * 8pm * NO Cover
Two of our favorites hit the stage the 4th Wednesday of every month.
Bluesman Clark Stern has played piano alongside genre notables such as Lurrie Bell, Anson Funderburgh and Billy Boy Arnold, but he's joined tonight by local drum veteran Chuck Cotton ( Bob Margolin's band). Though Stern and Cotton both sing, the focus is on the simple interplay beneath the two instrumentalists, which really gets cooking once Stern's piano stand starts shaking from his heavy hands. Expect plenty of boogie-woogie and jump blues when they draw tunes from traditional and gospel repertoires, as well as Stern's originals.

Student ID Cards
The college requires students to obtain a student identification card. This identification card serves as a method to prove that students are enrolled, is used as a library card, and grants students access to other campus services, such as the academic support center. Student identification cards are also used to identify students at clinical and internship sites associated with individual programs of study and to identify students in the bookstore for Pell charges.
Students may obtain ID cards at scheduled times each week in room H-759 in the Student Center on the Athens Campus, the Student Affairs Office on the Elbert County Campus, the Manager's Office at the Greene County Campus, and the Director's Office at the Walton County Campus. Students may also schedule an appointment to have their IDs made. Students receive their first photo identification card at no cost. Replacement cards are $5.

Drew Barrymore: Globes Pregnant Child
I've said this before on this blog: Why do we infantalise pregnant women? Why do they infantalise themselves?
You will tell me that Drew Barrymore was pretty much a child anyway, before she starting having kids. True. But she ran her own production company. She directed her own movies. She's lifestyling herself in makeup and wine. This woman is a BUSINESS.
But it wasn't a woman who stepped out of that car yesterday. It was a little girl. A pregnant little girl with a little girl face, skipping and baby talking her way down the carpet in a dress that looked like every pregnancy cliché had vomited all over it. Pink, petals, fertile, growth, nature, angels, innocence, purity, floating, gardens, peace, love – all of it is punching me in the face, over and over and over again … with one message:
To be pregnant is to be whole.
I believe you. I really, really do. But I don't understand because at one point, before the marriage and the children, Drew was actually more grownup than she'd ever been. So why this …regression… and at the moment where she couldn't be LESS of an infant?

Lena Dunham showed up for the Emmys in an awkward pink confection and Kerry Washington went for a bright orange dress with dark sparkle peeking out from underneath, but it was the reds and blues that dominated the carpet Monday.
And neutrals, too.
On Team Red were Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who looked a bit pinched in a tight Carolina Herrera, and Christina Hendricks in a gaudy, one-shoulder Marchesa with yards and yards of draping fabric, loud floral embroidery at the waist and a plunging neckline.
Julia Roberts, at 46, had fashion observers near speechless as she showed off her legs in a bubbly beaded mini in deep blue. Keke Palmer, of "The Trip to Bountiful," wowed in a blue cobalt trumpet-shaped gown from Rubin Singer. Layers of fabric skimmed the gown, and a structured strapless bodice was cut in a deep V.
Baby bumps represented. Hayden Panettiere (who announced it's a girl) lovingly stroked her belly in a metallic fitted gown. Amanda Peet, pregnant with her third child, was in an unfortunate, empire-waisted floral. Washington bucked the color trend in fitted orange Prada with a high slit and beaded front pleats. "I saw it hanging there and I knew it was a contender," she told The Associated Press. "I threw it on during a lunch break when I was shooting 'Scandal' and fell in love."
Sofia Vergara, always a red carpet stunner, went for a more classic look in a fitted white gown with a space agey bodice that showed less of her cleavage than usual.
Taylor Schilling and her "Orange is the New Black" crew walked early — Schilling dressed in a lighter-than-air, pale halter gown with subtle sparkle and fellow cast member Uzo Aduba in strapless red.
"I enjoy a nice non-color," Schilling joked on E! "It just felt sort of timeless."
Aduba has been having big fun in fashion since the Netflix show has grown popular. Earlier this month, she won a Creative Arts Emmy for her role as Crazy Eyes.
"I wanted something beautiful," she told the AP of her custom Christian Siriano.
Laverne Cox, another of the show's co-stars, chatted on the carpet in a caped, white gown by one her favorite designers, Marc Bouwer. Fred Leighton diamonds were sewn into the dress that sported a chest-baring neckline.
Kit Harington of "Game of Thrones" represented early for the men, wearing a serious scowl like his character and sporting a top-knot.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

There's a claim I've heard many times from my American friends. "The UK Conservative Party is more liberal than our Democratic Party. Those guys are sane, sensible conservatives." And every time I see a claim along these lines, I roll my eyes.
Yesterday, it was announced that Britain's double-dip recession is intensifying:
The economy shrank by 0.7 per cent between April and June, the Office for National Statistics said. It is now smaller than when the Coalition came to power in 2010.
Since then, the Chancellor has pursued a strict policy of austerity – "Plan A" – in an attempt to bring down the deficit, leading to accusations that he has not done enough to stimulate growth.
Wednesday's fall was worse than expected and means that Britain is firmly back in recession, with negative growth for the past nine months.
Amid a growing clamour from business groups for radical action, one senior Conservative figure admitted that the economy was likely to be in "intensive care" for another two years.
The Coalition's been in power for 2 years, and things are now even worse than they were when they were elected. As a clearly on-the-ball politician points out here, the world's economy is recovering albeit slowly while austerity-driven Europe is struggling:
"The challenge is particularly great in our neighbourhood…since the financial crash the world economy has grown by 20%. But Europe's has hardly grown at all."
…said Prime Minister David Cameron. Cue frustrated headdesking.
The Tories' solution to economic disaster caused by austerity has been the same as George W Bush's to Iraq: stay the course, and unsurprisingly had the same results. The Tory party might not obsessively attempt to restrict women's and gay people's rights, but their economic policies are as destructive as their counterparts' would be and threatening to bring about both a lost decade and a lost generation of young people who simply cannot find employment. Supporting gay marriage doesn't make David Cameron a liberal (as some would hold) – it makes him a typical conservative: supporting one kind of family value, while harming families with his idea of 'reforms'.
Let's compare and contrast what our Coalition and US Democrats have done or attempted to do:
UK: Undertaken a policy of austerity which has led to crippling cuts in public spending with only one of the promised effects: it's causing a lot of pain to British people, but making our economy worse.
US: Passed a stimulus bill which stemmed the economy haemorrhaging jobs and turned it around to the point where America has now had 27 months of job growth and 11 consecutive quarters of economic growth. US conservatives would like America to follow our plan.
UK: Raised caps on tuition fees to a maximum of £9000, which resulted in virtually every single university choosing the maximum fee, as anyone not a Lib Dem could have predicted. Students now face leaving university burdened with a minimum of £36k debt.
US: Extended low student loan rates to make life easier for college students.
UK: Overhauled the welfare system, with the following impacts: disabled people are worse off, companies get free labour from young people on 'work experience placements' (workfare) which still does not help them find work, families lose out on child benefit, household benefits are capped at £26k because everyone's situation is the same, cuts to housing benefit instead of regulating landlords, and proposing that all young people should be deprived of housing benefit altogether.
US: Reluctantly renewed all the Bush tax cuts so that the unemployed could continue to receive the unemployment benefits held hostage by Republicans. The Obama Administration also offered states waivers from the work requirements in Bill Clinton's welfare reform.
UK: Passed NHS 'reforms' which will create massive amounts of bureaucracy, put patients' interests lasts, open the door for privatisation of the NHS which will lead to more of this awfulness, and saddle doctors with responsibilities they don't want at the expense of doing their actual job of treating people.
US: Passed healthcare reform which will expand healthcare coverage to millions and act as a foundation to eventually progress to a single-payer system. In other words, Britain and America are now moving in opposite directions on healthcare.
As for those American liberals who think the Democrats are too awful to vote for this November, I'd like to point our 'Liberal' Democrats aided and abetted all of the above horror stories – in some cases after having campaigned for the exact opposite – which are helping keep Britain stuck in the mire along with Europe while the rest of the world pulls itself out. And that your Democrats voted for all the good stuff on that list. You have no idea what betrayal of principle is, so grow up.
So America, you have a choice. You can vote Republican this November and go the same way we in Britain have. Or you can vote to keep climbing out of the well towards the light.

The Pentagon Wars: Reformers Challenge the Old Guard
Naval Institute Press, 1993 - History - 306 pages
From the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, a small band of military activists waged war against corruption in the Pentagon, challenging a system they believed squandered the public's money and trust. This book examines that movement and its proponents and describes how the system responded to their criticisms and efforts to change accepted practices and entrenched ways of thinking.

Critic review
18 Bay is a ferry tale with a very happy ending.
Elizabeth Ronzetti and Adam Kopels, the owners and chefs, closed their cozy Bayville eatery in summer 2010. They relocated the restaurant to Shelter Island last summer and now run the ideal country eatery.
They're closer to the farms and markets that drive their Italian-New American cuisine. And 18 Bay is sufficiently tucked away to seem like a mini-vacation.
Relax at a table on the charming veranda, where the pink in the two-tone columns matches the watermelon on the nameplate sign. Or take a seat in the dining room, which will remind you of that summer home in your imagination.
Have a cocktail or a glass of wine and glance at the menu. Ronzetti and Kopels change the dishes regularly, but the structure stays the same. Your price is fixed and your choices minimal. Dinner includes a quartered plate of antipasti, a pasta course, and choices between two main courses and between two desserts. Vegetarians are accommodated with a separate menu.
The concept may not appeal to every appetite. But each generous course is prepared with lapidary precision, coaxing the fullest flavor from any ingredient. Given what you'd drop a la carte at so many awful restaurants, the $50 prix fixe almost seems a deal.
Recently, the antipasti included bluefish crudo paired with celtuce, or celery lettuce: the most assertive local fish treated like sushi and matched with a vegetable that originated in China -- a silky, seductive combo.
Contrast it with grilled lamb meatballs topped with sweet, wilted onions; and a coaster-size potato pizzette showered with summer truffles. Or maybe the trembling, white-carrot sformato, a cousin of a soufflé, accented with roasted baby carrots.
They make outstanding pastas. One: broad cannelloni with house-made goat's milk ricotta, zucchini flowers and a delicate, summer-squash riff on pistou. Another: spaghetti alla chitarra, more flat than cylindrical, with littleneck clams.
Next may be a crisp-skinned, sauteed black sea bass with string beans, pearl onions and chunky, fresh-corn vinaigrette; or za'atar-seasoned Berkshire pork loin and belly, for a Middle Eastern turn that then veers west with grilled fennel, scallions and sour cherries.
A peach-and-cherry cobbler, with a scoop of Tahitian vanilla gelato; and the Venezuelan-chocolate affogato with chocolate biscotti are two delectable desserts.
At lunch, there's an a la carte menu, mostly salads and panini, $9 to $16. Try the panino of speck, caramelized onions and provola; or another filled with a chard-and-ricotta frittata. The duck salad and tuna Niçoise also are recommended.
Buy that ferry ticket.

Chloe Grace Moretz Isn't Your Average 16-Year-Old
On the cusp of turning 17, actress Chloe Grace Moretz balances indie films with studio blockbusters. She sat with the WSJ's Barbara Chai to discuss her Sundance film "Laggies," and her upcoming project: a stage play at The Public Theater.

I can't take the credit for all of the dishes that come out of my kitchen these days. While most of the stuff on my blog is definitely my doing, there is a much more experienced and talented palette at my side.
So, I'll post a few of David's creations here and there, sans recipe, for your culinary inspiration and stomach's desire. Why no recipe? Some chefs don't like to freely give away their secrets, especially on their carefully tested (or magically concocted) recipes. I have to respect David's wishes. I ask him *politely* if he minds if I post a recipe that he comes up with, and if he gives me that look... I just post a photo. Another reason is that David usually cooks as he goes (without a recipe in mind), and his recipes tend to have more complicated-than-I-feel-like-typing steps.
Luckily for me, even after a 50+ hour week in the restaurant, he still wants to come home and cook. This was dish #2 to come out of our massive pork shoulder buy.
It's David's take on pork and beans. Braised and seared pork shoulder with cranberry beans, watercress (can't get enough of these two) and chimichurri. Being from The South, this was not at all what I envisioned when tossing around ideas about doing a variation on the classic dish. It was light and fresh, packed with flavor, and dare I say it, pretty damn healthy.

Gotcha. That two years I spent in Bakersfield (Taft, actually--triple UGH) was the longest decade of my life. And so how come you to be there, may I ask?
Well...the short story is I needed to find a teaching job. They were closing high schools in Orange County so I dusted off my resume and headed to all points North. The San Joaquin Valley is/was a growing area and I got hired.
My wife and I figured we'd stay here for a couple years then move on....that was 24 years ago. It's a good place to raise kids and the Sierra Nevada Mountains are just right there [we are a hiking, camping, skiing family] so we stuck around. When the air is clear [which is more and more rare these days] we have an expansive view of the Sierras from pretty much anywhere in town.
But guess what? Not two weeks after I had signed my contract, I got a letter from Santa Cruz HS to come work for them. Oh well...wasn't meant to be, I suppose.
The good news is San Francisco is 4 hours to the North, the Central Coast Wine Region is 2 hours to the West, OC/LaLa Land is 3 1/2 hours to the South and most ski areas are 2-4 hours to the East and Northeast. So, we manage

Only councilmen Bryan Vaughn and Wayne Kersey had the good sense to vote against it.
