Sybil Wilkes talks with Commentator Jeff Johnson about the new super PAC that he is a part of called Black Men Vote, the upcoming elections and more.
6 thoughts on "Political Pulse: Jeff Johnson"
this is what I am talking about! I am one of those government contractors that your President wants to get rid of.
Not sure were you saw a lie in my last comment. I voted for Obama in 2008 not because I was caught up in his hope and change hype but because i thought he was a better option than John McCain and that he would govern the country from the center. Since he has been President, I find myself not agreeing with any of his policies. Sure he is a likeable person and a good role model for the young people, but that is not a good enough reason anymore to re-elect this guy as President.
You already had your mind made up (complete with lies and all). So why waste time logging in asking why?
@Jaxa You have got to be kidding me!!!! I am not sure were you heard that Romney will cut medicare and education. did you just make that up or did you get that from an Obama television ad? The fact of the matter is that Obama will cut medicare to fund Obamacare and Obama said it during the debates if you were paying attention. He just said it in a way that was very clever. A vote for Obama is a vote against my own interest. I am a department of defense contractor (I am a civilian working for the military) and if Obama gets the defense cuts that he is looking for I will be out of a job. Now because I have a bachelor's degree in IT and several IT certifications, it used to not be that big a deal because the private sector always had a lot of jobs available. because of Democrat policies that is no longer the case. GM Delphi and NCR employed thousands of people in the part of Ohio that I live in along with the Air Force Base. The only thing that is left is the Air Force Base and you are trying to tell me to support Obama!!! You want to tell me that Obama cares for me!! he will only succeed in putting someone like me on welfare and food stamps!!!
Romney will take away senior citizens medicare, he will cut education, starting with sesame street; he will cut financial aid out so students won't be able to afford to attend colleges; Mitt wants to get rid of the Dept of Education and fire teachers; Mitt is lying to people like you to confused that you. Believe what people show you, not so much what they tell you. Hence, Mitt showed you he can't be trusted to stand up for you if you're in the 47% and he said that behind your back because he didn't want you to know how much he despises you. This is some of why people will be voting for President Obama 2012… because he has been tryed and proven to get the job done as commander and chief.
I am a black man age 42. Explain please besides the fact that Obama is black why we should vote for him!

Despite my personality, I managed to be one of the most popular girls in my dorm's wing during my freshman year of college.
A microwave. But this was no ordinary microwave, which every Megan, Katie and Laura owned. My microwave had a toaster built in.
And toasters, as you may our may not know, belong in the can't-have-in-a-dorm-room category. So you can imagine my novelty among the carb-happy set.
LG since discontinued that microwave, clearly to make room for a countertop appliance that would change college life forever.
The LG LCSP1110ST includes a 1400-watt pizza oven below its microwave cavity capable of baking the frozen staple as well as other nutritious goods like frozen french fries and cookies.
And the LCSP1110 is really just a countertop microwave in its essence, so your treat-making should operate sans censure.
Can you say best graduation gift ever?
Don't worry about trusting your grad with an oven, either. This LG microwave's AUTO PIZZA function takes all the
thinking guesswork out:
Four pizza bake functions are preset in the oven. The AUTO PIZZA feature automatically selects the best cooking method and time for various pizza types. The cooking guide shows which AUTO PIZZA function is recommended for the the pizza you are cooking.
A regular-crust frozen pizza bakes in only 15 minutes in the pizza oven. That's faster than delivery, or even taking the stairs down to the dining hall.
Anyone who says you can't buy friends didn't dangle the right carrot, er, pizza. And this one's a steal in my opinion at $200.

Razak Boukari is back training with Wolves despite continuing negotiations over his proposed season-long loan to Sochaux.
The 26-year-old winger has been in France to discuss joining the Ligue 1 outfit and although he passed his medical, personal terms have not been reached.
Boukari, whose only season with Wolves was severely disrupted by a troublesome calf injury, has now returned to the Black Country in a bid to improve his fitness with the club still hopeful of offloading him.
"Razak passed the medical which was fine," boss Kenny Jackett told the club's official website.
"He didn't agree terms but it is still under negotiation and the talks are ongoing.
"In terms of him, he is fit now and ready to train and he will need a constructive week.
"The first team are doing fitness work and he needs football so will train with the Under-18s and then the Under-21s.
"I don't think he will be in the group this week that prepares for Crawley (on Friday).
"He is a Wolves player and he builds up his fitness after missing pre-season."

NWSB Insider and B.C. Lions' blogger Dave B gives you everything you need to know about betting on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. BC Lions game coming up tonight. The Lions have made a habit of playing tight games this year – they seem to let teams hand around for too long. I expect the same this week. While I like BC to win straight up, this game will be closer than you would expect. Andrew Harris had a down week last week, he's got to get going this week.

The Common Lisp Document Repository is a repository of documents that are of interest to the Common Lisp community. The most important property of a CDR document is that it will never change: if you refer to it, you can be sure that your reference will always refer to exactly the same document.
There have been a number of attempts to establish a standardization process for Common Lisp after it has been officially published as an ANSI standard. The ANSI standardization was very costly and very time consuming (according to http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/msg/15248a1b11c5a603 it took nearly 10 years and at least $400K).
The goal of the Common Lisp Document Repository is to be more light-weight and more efficient. We focus on one aspect of standardization: the ability to refer to a specification document in an unambiguous way.
The Common Lisp Document Repository intentionally does not define a process for coming up with specifications or any other means to guarantee some level of quality of the submitted documents. Instead, we aim for a community-driven, decentralized approach to come up, discuss and finalize specifications. In this sense, we only provide the services of librarians.
We hope that the Common Lisp Document Repository has the potential to prove useful in establishing new de-facto standards, and to serve as a stepping stone for more formal standardizations in the long run.
This CDR supersedes CDR 0.

In his "I Have a Dream Speech" delivered at the 1963 March on Washington, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said he dreamed of the day his children would be judged not by the color of their skin but the content of their character. If Dr. King had known how Martin III, Dexter and Bernice would later fight over money generated by commercially exploiting his name, he might have omitted any reference to their character. When it comes to money, King's remaining children have no character.
The latest of many examples is their profiting from the construction of the Washington, D.C. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial. They – and all Americans – should be grateful that Harry E. Johnson, Sr. and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity had the vision and unflagging commitment to believe they could erect a memorial to Dr. King on the National Mall. Last year, the 30-foot, 8-inch statue of King was unveiled, dwarfing the 19-foot statue of Thomas Jefferson and the Abraham Lincoln memorial, which is 19 feet, 6 inches.
Instead of being satisfied with this impressive memorial to their father – the first monument to an African American on the Mall – the King children saw dollar signs. They have collected more than $3 million in licensing fees from the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation. The fees were charged in exchange for allowing the foundation to use King's words and likeness in fundraising appeals and as part of the memorial complex itself.
Harry Johnson has raised $119 million of the $120 million needed to build the memorial. But I doubt that any donor gave money to the project with the expectation that the King children would be able to line their pockets with their contribution.
David Garrow, the Pulitzer Prize-winning King biographer, told the Associated Press that Dr. King would have been "absolutely scandalized by the profiteering behavior of his children." He added, "I don't think the Jefferson family, the Lincoln family…I don't think any other group of family ancestors has been paid a licensing fee for a memorial in Washington. One would think any family would be so thrilled to have their forefather celebrated and memorialized in D.C. that it would never dawn on them to ask for a penny."
The King family is not looking for pennies or dollars. They are looking for millions. They are already making millions from King's "I Have a Dream Speech." King was a very public man, giving a public speech at the Lincoln Memorial, yet the King children claim that he was a private citizen and therefore they are entitled to profit from his public pronouncements. They successfully sued CBS to prevent the network from airing the "I Have a Dream Speech" – without paying them.
But would they win such a suit today? Fortunately for them, people are willing to give them a pass because they are Dr. King's dysfunctional children, not because of anything they have done. Private citizens don't have federal holidays named in their honor. Monuments aren't erected to them on the National Mall. If Dr. King isn't a public figure, no one is.
Even worse than charging the foundation that erected the King Memorial for use of King's words and images, the King family has now told the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation that their licensing agreement has expired and the family will not extend it. Not even for a sizeable fee. And by the way, the foundation can no longer use King in its name and will have to change that, too.
So what is their angle? You know the money grubbing Kings had to have one. Bernice King, CEO of the King Center in Atlanta, announced a year-long celebration leading to the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
"We are excited by the four days of activities we have organized to commemorate my father's 'I Have a Dream' speech, in cooperation with the MLK, Jr. National Historic Site and the CDC," she said. "As we launch the year-long countdown to the global observance of the 50th anniversary, the Dreamkeepers Program events will help us address the still relevant challenge of creating a more just society through nonviolent activism."
The King Center – which has been managed by Dexter, Martin III and now Bernice – hopes to raise $170 million from the events.
The famous march was about more than a young preacher from Atlanta delivering a sterling speech that mesmerized the nation. Rather, it was called the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was organized by A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
With an official Black unemployment rate of 14.4 percent, the emphasis should again be on jobs, not Dr. King's speech.
But a focus on jobs wouldn't put any money into the King coffers. And they've already shown that is one of their major objectives. They had arranged for Sotheby to auction King's papers in 2006. But Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin stepped in and organized a private group that paid $32 million for the papers and donated them to Morehouse College, King's alma mater.
Had he been alive, that's something Dr. King probably would have done. But unlike his children, he wouldn't do it to make a buck.

2011 Honda Pilot ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Competent midsize crossover SUV.
The Honda Pilot can handle four adults and four kids easily. It has useful cargo space beyond the third-row seats so you needn't fold any seats down to fit a week's worth of groceries. And with six cupholders in the second row alone, eight door cargo pockets and the ability to carry a 4x8-foot sheet of building material flat inside, finding a place for everything isn't an issue.
The Pilot lineup also includes models suitable for hard-core outdoor adventurers. Most models are sold with all-wheel drive for better acceleration and climbing in snow.
The Pilot is a midsize crossover SUV. As with other so-called crossover SUVs, it uses carlike unit-body construction and suspension for better fuel economy and handling.
The front seats deliver good support for long-term comfort and bolsters on the seatbacks provide lateral support without imposing thigh cushions you'd have to climb over for every entry or exit. The second-row seats are as roomy as the front and the third row is relatively easy to access. The Pilot is easy to figure out and operate and every works as expected.
Underway, we found the Pilot a well balanced vehicle with nice road manners, with sufficient power and brakes, decent ride quality and handling. Pilot 4WD models have the ability to leave the pavement or tackle pre-plowed snow. The V6 offers comparable performance for the class.
Pilot is efficient among eight-seat crossovers. Fuel economy for a Pilot 4WD is a government-rated 16/22 mpg City/Highway.
For 2011, Pilot EX-L offers satellite-linked navigation; and Pilot Touring comes standard with a DVD entertainment system. Pilot was redesigned for the 2009 model year.
The 2011 Honda Pilot comes in four variants with few options. Each model is offered with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (4WD). All mechanical and safety components and systems are identical across the range. Navigation and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system are available only on the top two trims.
Pilot LX ($28,045) comes with cloth upholstery, front and rear climate control, intermittent rear wiper/washer, power windows/locks/mirrors, tow hitch, tinted rear windows, automatic headlamps, cruise control, center console, visor extensions and illuminated mirrors, tilt/telescoping steering column, four front seatback pockets, six reading lights, reconfigurable cargo area, 60/40 split-folding second and third row seats, AM/FM/CD/MP3 seven-speaker audio with auxiliary input jack, flip-up hatch glass, steel wheels. Pilot LX 4WD ($29,645) adds the Real Time 4WD system.
Pilot EX ($30,895) upgrades with three-zone climate control, alloy wheels, security system, heated body-color mirrors, roof rails, fog lights, chrome exhaust tips, HomeLink, 10-way power driver seat, XM radio, 6-disc CD changer, steering-wheel audio controls, and exterior temperature indicator. Pilot EX 4WD ($32,495) includes the all-wheel drive system.
Pilot EX-L ($33,995) upgrades with leather upholstery and wrap for steering wheel and shifter, heated front seats, four-way power passenger seat, moonroof, conversation mirror, a noise-reducing laminated windshield, and an auto-dimming inside mirror with rearview camera display. EX-L 4WD ($35,595) adds Real Time 4WD. Navigation is optional ($2000), and includes Bluetooth with steering-wheel controls and a USB port. A rear-seat DVD system with 115-volt AC outlet ($1600) is available, also. With either, the stereo upgrades to a 512-watt, 10-speaker system.
The Pilot Touring ($38,795) adds a power tailgate, driver memory system, chrome side trim, signals in outside mirrors, trailer wiring harness, parking sensors front and rear, voice-recognition navigation with rear camera/Bluetooth/interface jog-dial control, second-row window shades, 512-watt 10-speaker audio system and USB port, time/speed functions added to the trip computer, and the rear-seat entertainment system. AWD is available ($40,395).
Safety equipment on all Pilots includes front and front side airbags, three-row side-curtain airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (electronic stability control), four child-seat LATCH positions, active front head rests, and eight adjustable headrests and shoulder belts.
Honda Pilot's styling was inspired by an ultra-rugged laptop computer. It's clean, with flat, plain body panels and a boxy shape that serves usefulness as well as it caters to a tough, utilitarian image. Surfaces that aren't sloped inward at the roof pay dividends in head space and big-box cargo loading.
With substantial chrome trim and eyebrows in the headlight housings, fog lights mounted relatively high in the bumper, and a hatch that tapers more to the sides than forward at the top, the Pilot looks wider it is. Viewed from dead astern the mid-size Pilot appears as bulky as the full-size Toyota Sequoia.
Panel crimps define the wheel openings, aiding the rugged look without adding width or bolt-on parts that might promote rust. The third-row side window are separated by a thick chunk of sheetmetal, to no apparent detriment in driver vision or third-row comfort. The rear wiper parks off the hatch glass, allowing it to open separately. The hatch has a hefty pull handle with touch-point releases and is powered on the Touring model, and the bumper has a good cover so sloppy loading won't mar the paint.
All Pilots come with a Class III tow hitch and coolers required for towing; only a wiring pigtail will be needed from the dealer. The top tow rating is 4500 pounds on 4WD and 3500 pounds on front-drive models. Roof rails are standard on higher trims and you'll probably be using the back bumper and door sills without a step stool or small ladder to load items six feet up.
In its most basic form the Pilot is derived from the same platform as the Acura MDX big crossover, yet the two do not share an engine, many features, or end-user purpose and philosophy. As a result, they differ dramatically in use.
Regardless of trim level, the Honda Pilot interior appears well thought out and assembled, with functional touches at every turn and a luxury factor that increases alongside price. In simple terms the base LX will do everything a Touring will do except reposition your seat and mirrors or open and close the power tailgate.
The cloth upholstery on LX and EX we found to be comfortable in temperature extremes. The cloth is a subdued design with just enough pattern to hide stains that become part and parcel of any eight-seat vehicle. One may desire more features from higher-priced models yet the basics are all here, including power windows and locks and air conditioning for front and rear. Just like the priciest Pilot, door armrests have soft cushioned elbow pads and there's no cheap feel in frequently felt surfaces. All trims offer three interior colors dependent on paint hue. Premium models are upgraded with nicely textured leather, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, and more upscale door panel trim.
The front seats deliver good support for long-term comfort and bolsters on the seatbacks provide lateral support without imposing thigh cushions you'd have to climb over for every entry or exit. The power driver's seat on the EX adjusts in one more plane than the LX and is easier underway for minor improvements in finding the ideal position and height, yet we had no fatigue or wish for more after hours in an LX.
The middle-row seat provides essentially the same room as the front seats, including good toe space under the front seats. This seat split-folds 60/40 with the short cushion on the right side for easiest loading, both sides slide fore and aft for maximum flexibility or keeping that baby seat closer, the climate control is handy at the back of the console, and each door has two cupholders in the armrest and dual pockets below. Although it appears as merely a fixed cushion above the center armrest, the center headrest easily lifts and extends to a useful height.
The third row is easily accessible: One lift of the lever at kid's-eye height in the center row backrest tilts the seat and slides it forward for third-row access. As with all crossovers this is the restriction point as the rear seat offers good space and getting there is easy for limber kids and slender adults. Like the middle row, this seat splits to fold flat, has three usable headrests and offers storage on both sides. The optional rear-seat entertainment system is much the same as the top-ranked setups in the Odyssey and Acura MDX.
At least in LX and EX trims this is a jump-in-and-go kind of ride. No fumbling about looking for where to put the key (or a start button), a one-touch tilt-and-telescope function to put the wheel where you want it, and generally intuitive controls; for example, the intermittent wiper settings are defined by the number of raindrops to match precipitation to wiper speed. Stability system and park sensor (Touring) defeat switches are to the left of the driver so hooligans bent on embarrassing mom won't turn them off at an inconvenient moment.
Gauges appear as a clear overlay with black markings floating above a white background and red needles swinging between the layers. A foot-operated parking brake rides above a good dead pedal to rest your left foot on without pointing toes, and the shifter is next to the wheel on the left side of the central control area.
On most Pilots this area features an info display at the top for miscellaneous data, silver-trimmed audio controls, black-framed climate controls, a box-shaped bin at the bottom and an omnidirectional vent on either side. On models with navigation it gets busier and ventures beyond that jump-in-and-go realm that frequently accompanies audio-video store showrooms on wheels.
At the top is a shaded navigation screen for the system that operates with voice recognition and delivers electronic breadcrumbs to retrace your off-road route back to pavement. Below that are a slim display for temperature data, the audio and climate controls, seat heat switches, a much smaller MP3-player size bin, and the interface jog dial for the navigation system.
That controller works like many, with a central function knob that moves in almost any direction to work through menus and lists. It's neither as infuriating as some systems nor as easy as the best, and some of the six hard keys surrounding it were difficult to read in daylight with or without sunglasses, polarized or plain. Altogether there are about 50 buttons and switches in the center stack and another 13 (plus horn) on the steering wheel, so some familiarization is in order.
Above the glovebox is a segmented tray; the glovebox is deep but the door drops with surprising weight so keep knees clear; each door has two pockets in it as well, and it seems every bin/cubby/box has a rubberized floor to minimize noise and sliding contents. The center console could conceal an ultra-portable notebook or small purse if you configure it properly.
Pilot pilots will find the cowl line higher than usual for Honda vehicles but the view out remains good, the style lines in the hood somewhat helpful at defining the sides of the car in motion. With rear pillars too far away to be impediments, center rear shoulder belts and headrests stowed until needed, and good rear-wiper coverage, seeing out of a Pilot is a non-issue. The premium models have a wide-angle mirror above the rearview mirror for keeping an eye on the passengers, but some lighter-colored dashboard edges make a minor-nuisance reflection in the side window glass by the mirrors.
The cargo area has as assortment of tie-down points and bag hooks. The cargo floor can be flipped up and latched against the third-row seatback, and the net inside it attached at the side, for a carrying basket/shelf capable of holding 22 pounds. This net is a few inches below the hatch-glass windowline, and since that opens separately, small items can be loaded through the window opening without lifting the entire hatch. Below the cargo floor is more storage area but it is flat to be useful for carrying heavier objects when the net is deployed. There is also a compartment on the driver's side big enough to hold small service parts and a one-gallon jug for windshield washer refills or whatever.
There is perhaps no better demonstration of packaging efficiency than folding all the back seats flat and laying a 4x8-foot sheet of plywood, which is more than half as long as the whole car, flat on the floor, closing the hatch, and driving off with it completely out of the weather.
Driving Impression
On the road, the Honda Pilot feels balanced, with sufficient power and brakes, decent ride quality and handling, and on 4WD models the ability to leave the pavement or tackle pre-plowed snow. Most owners won't go as far as a Pilot will go, but the rugged looks match vehicles that will go farther on a bad trail, so travel is best kept to scenic byways and mountain motorways.
The 3.5-liter V6 takes on a characteristic Honda growl when you push it and you'll need to be towing or accelerating uphill on an on-ramp to require such grunt. For the most part the engine is in the background, never silenced, never rough and never annoying. It uses Honda's Variable Cylinder Management to switch off two or three of its six cylinders to save fuel; the ECO light on the dash shows when you are getting best economy and does not necessarily mean the Pilot is running on only three or four cylinders. Like the all-wheel drive system, the VCM is transparent to the driver and requires no action on his or her part, and apart from some front-tire spin under heavy acceleration from rest the front-drive model drives just like the all-wheel drive.
Among the host of three-row crossovers in the 3.5-liter to 3.8-liter V6 class, there isn't a wide range between the slowest and fastest and the Honda feels right in the middle. Where the others may enjoy a slight advantage is with six speeds in the transmission, and/or the ability to address each of them separately or in a Sport mode for quicker response. The Pilot shifter offers an OD Off switch which locks out the top two gears, so if you want fourth to control speed on long hill descents or winding roads you're out of luck. Toyota's Highlander and Mazda's CX-9 come to mind as better in these respects, and to a lesser extent, GM's Acadia/Enclave family.
Since the Pilot is among the lightest of the eight-seat crossovers the suspension can be tuned for ride comfort without requiring undue stiffness for control. It swallows up most road surfaces with aplomb and never bottomed out on dirt road whoop-de-doos when driven sensibly but briskly. No single noise source stands out and normal conversations are quite possible at highway speeds. The stability assist is one of the lesser intrusive such algorithms and if it comes into play you probably won't notice as you'll be busy wondering how you got into a bad situation.
Relative to some other recent crossover designs, the Pilot seems to ride a bit softer than the GMC Acadia and its GM siblings and has less body roll than the Highlander, though the Acadia may enjoy a slight advantage in steering feel. The most sporting drive in the segment is Mazda's CX-9 though we wouldn't venture as far from the beaten path in that as we would in a Pilot, and the Pilot is more maneuverable than any of them.
Brakes perform as well as they should be expected and all electronic braking aids are standard. If you see something bad about to happen, just stand on the pedal as hard as you can and keep steering; you might just drive around it.
The 4WD models use all-wheel drive: They work full time and offer no low-range gearing. The 4WD models deduct 1 mpg from EPA ratings.
The Honda Pilot offers plenty of cargo and people versatility in an efficient package, with towing capacity for light loads and the available confidence of all-wheel drive.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent G.R. Whale filed this report after his test drive of the Pilot around Riverside.

Honda Pilot 4WD Touring ($40,395).The Honda Pilot is a powerful crossover SUV, engineered for quality and durability, as well as high levels of functionality and comfort. It features unit body construction and a fully independent suspension, providing a more car-like driving experience with crisp, predictable handling and a smooth ride. The 8-passenger Pilot is available in both front- and four-wheel drive configurations, each with a choice of four trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. All trim levels feature an advanced 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The Pilot delivers impressive fuel economy through Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology, an engine cylinder-deactivation system that is capable of operating in either 6-cylinder mode for power or 4- and 3-cylinder modes for efficiency. Standard equipment on the LX includes a lift-up glass hatch, CD player, front and rear air conditioning, cruise control and three rows of seating; EX trims add 17-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control, a 6-disc CD changer and satellite radio, while EX-L trims are further outfitted with a power moonroof, heated front seats, leather upholstery and a rearview camera parking aid. The Touring trim gets exclusive premium features that include a power liftgate, an upgraded sound system with USB audio interface, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a voice-activated navigation system. A rear DVD entertainment system is optional on EX-L trims and standard on the Touring. Safety features found on every Pilot include four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, front side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags for all three rows and active anti-whiplash front head restraints. The Honda Pilot carries over with minimal changes for 2011. The voice-activated navigation system, previously exclusive to the Touring trim level, is now optional on the EX-L, while the rear entertainment system becomes standard equipment on Touring models.

Poster Pets of the Week
When Ann Rogers Clark died at the age of 77 last week, the dog show world lost an icon. I had the honor of meeting Mrs. Clark, renowned in the sports as a judge, breeder, handler, owner, and author at a Westminster Kennel Club press conference in 2004. The following first appeared in the Beacon on 2/19/04:
Words of Wisdom from Westminster: "Brown Poodles have brown brains"- so advised Ann Rogers Clark, the sage of the dog fancy. Answering a question about Poodle color, Mrs. Clark responded, "If you want a Poodle, get a black. The whites are not really white any more. They're cream. Brown Poodles have brown brains".
Mrs. Clark is the only person ever to judge all seven Groups plus Best in Show at Westminster. 2004 was Mrs. Clark's 64th consecutive Westminster where she has also handled 3 Best In Show winners- all Poodles- in 1956, 1959, 1961. She is one of the few people in the world licensed to judge every breed. The Miniature Poodle "Spice Girl", the 2002 Best In Show, was bred by Mrs. Clark. Trust me. She knows dogs, especially Poodles. Listening to her in the Press Room was an incredible privilege.
Mrs. Clark was also the first woman professional handler to ever take Best In Show at the Garden. She jokes that "Westminster is an all male club, and she is their mascot." Her "brown brain" comment was tongue in cheek, but is based on decades of experience. She knows canine temperament; she sees the big picture.
Mrs. Clark, the closest dogdom has to a Supreme Court Justice, summed up the task of judges. They must always be looking for the epitome of breeding stock. It takes years to cultivate that mindset. I asked if she were ever presented with an unworthy group in lesser shows, and she said that at times she has withheld all ribbons. She then spoke of the responsibilities of exhibitors to show dogs that were clean, groomed, and touchable. You would think that were obvious, yet it's not. She's walked into rings with matted, dirty dogs, those with nails that could engrave the pavement, those who have tried to bite her when she examined them. She's dealt with handlers whose temperaments were worse than the dogs.
I feel that each of us has one dog of our lifetime, a soul mate that stands above all the rest. Mine was Alan, a magnificent Afghan I adopted from Oyster Bay Shelter in 1992. We had a perfect understanding. When I asked Mrs. Clark about this belief, she got emotional and paused. She said there has always been one retired Standard Poodle in the house whose passing would be monumental. The pain would be eased by the next one who would rise to fill the void. She spoke of one who could read her mind, and knew the day's agenda by the way Mrs. Clark dressed. Alan could do that.
I also inquired about her experiences with purebred rescue groups. She lives in rural Delaware, and said she got a call that a Beagle and mixed breed were wandering on her road. She realized the mix was a matted Cairn Terrier. She cleaned the Cairn up, isolated her from her crew and brought her to the vet. The Terrier was wonderful but heartworm positive and full of parasites. She fostered her during the heartworm treatment. Later she contacted Cairn Rescue who placed the dog. She gets updates about her waif all the time. This Toto had no idea whose "Yellow Brick Road" she stumbled on. Meanwhile the Beagle was a local boy who went home.
When asked about Josh the Newfoundland, Mrs. Clark said she had judged this dog several times before, but never had he looked as splendid - his coat, his muscle tone, his attitudeas he did Monday night when she gave him the Working Group . She refused to divulge her pick for the Westminster finals. That night Josh proved Mrs. Clark right again. The Newfie, her Group choice, won Best In Show at the Garden.
As a tribute to Mrs. Clark, the Babylon Town Shelter poster dogs are purebreds this week. "Bullet" is a sweet 3 year old red Siberian Husky. His elderly owner couldn't care for him. Bullet is good with kids, and supposedly loves to play with bagels. He represents the Working Group. Meanwhile, this perky, male Pomeranian in the Puppy Room is from the Toy Group. He has a microchip which also revealed his age as 8. The shelter (643-9270) is on Lamar St. W. Babylon. See more photos on Petfinder.
Females: "Fanny"-the mature Husky mix in Cage 93; a purebred Pekingese in the Puppy Room; "Sylvie"- the gregarious kitten in C- 4.
Males: "Panda"-the Border Collie mix in Cage 11; "Bosco" #18483- the polydactyl longhaired tuxedo kitten; a super friendly longhaired tabby kitten in C-8.

|My first visit. Celebrating three months as a vegan. Pretty much floored by excellence, creativity, complex tastes, excellent service. No compromises on quality. Strongly commend and recommend.
Reviews: 1
|This upscale all-vegan dining establishment has really refined the concept of vegan dining to a new high. Well-thought out and deliciously executed. Impeccable service, too. Can be very noisy and some tables are too close.
Reviews: 138
|Went to Millennium for the last night of our honeymoon. It was an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, polite and helpful. The food was beyond anything I could have imagined: the menu changes regularly, the flavours were complex and varied, the quantities were very reasonable and the presentation was fabulous. Very highly recommended for any special occasion, big or small.
Reviews: 2
|Went to Millennium for my birthday last week and was very impressed, as usual. They were offering the Summer Solstice menu, which consisted of four amazing and luxurious courses. I had the tamale entree and it was incredible. The dessert was a coconut cream and blueberry compote parfait, which melts in your mouth. Cucumber margarita was a surprisingly tasty treat.
Reviews: 30
|This is the place where my steady boyfriends take me out to dinner. My favorite entree is the Seitan. Their ice cream is always good but their chocolate is too sweet for me. I get so happy sit at this busy restaurant filled with so many meat-eating customer. I wish I can spread the forumula to all vegetarian restaurant. It is not a perfect restauran cause I can't afford to go there every day.
Reviews: 81
|The food here is stellar and so amazing. The flavor combinations Chef Tucker creates are consistently delicious, original, and complex. Their menu is seasonal, and the quality of ingredients is impeccable. The food and experience is well worth the cost. There is no other like it, and vegans are fortunate to have this option. $5 burritos are great, but I want something nice once in a while.
Reviews: 15
|You pay for the ambience and service as much as for the food, but for the occasional "fancy" night out, you can't beat Millinnium. The location is pretty central unlike, say, Green's, if that's a factor (i.e., near shops, shows, movies).
Reviews: 9
|This restaurant is vegans' answer to Chez Panisse, and priced accordingly. Judging it on price compared to ordinary restaurants is pointless. Come here for special occasions or to show your non-vegan friends that vegan food need not be boring or basic or limited. I enjoyed excellent food and attentive service when eating here and my omnivore gourmet colleague was impressed too.
Reviews: 133
|Prices even higher since last visit. Small food menu, huge drink menu, nice presentation, good service. Creative? Yes. Awesome? No. Very small portions for the entrees. For overall dining satisfaction I'd still prefer a three item veggie combo plus rice and salad from Wazwan Indian Restaurant at the Emeryville Public Market for $5.95 plus tax. Our Millennium check was $560.00 for 11 people.

|This is the best restaurant ever. Even non-veg culinary snobs I know have loved it, you can really take anyone there (as long as they can afford it, I guess). Honestly, though, it's not that expensive for this town, esp if you're just getting an entree yourself, it's about $25. And it is totally worth it. Incredibly delicious and creative. The waiters are v. knowledgeable, good w/recommendations.
Reviews: 15
|Mushroom season (winter rains) is an amazing time to go to Millenium! Mmmm. In general, everything I have ever had there has been sublimely delicious. Usually my choice for my birthday dinners or other special occasions. I took my veg mother (from Alabama) there for Mother's Day brunch and she was truly overjoyed. Can't find food like that in Alabama... or anywhere! Great wine pairings, too.
Reviews: 8
|LVOED the ambiance, the service - did the Aphrodisiac package w/ hotel night. AWESOME - PRICEY but a nice romantic splurge. Hotel was nice too! Everything was just wonderful except the TOKA parking garage the restaurant/hotel suggested us use. They relocated my car to an unknown location & my car had a long black scratch on the passenger side. I will file a claim against the parking garage.
Reviews: 9
|Gourmet food, that also happens to be vegan. Nice selection & variety. Nice drink menu. Our waiter was attentive & very friendly. Really enjoyed this meal. Dishes prepared such that non-veg people will enjoy it as well - meaning a well thought out menu. Some dishes of course were more interesting than others but all were good. Expensive (worth it), but will definitely come for special occasions.
Reviews: 16
|We celebrated my husband's birthday at Millenium during their monthly Aphrodisiac night. We agree it was the best meal we have ever eaten. Each morsel was euphoric! Service was wonderful. While making the reservation I mentioned that it would be my husband's birthday. Our waitress brought the dessert with a birthday candle in it! Even though we live in Canada we will be back someday...
Reviews: 4
|Full-Moon Aphrodisiac theme meal was delicious and very well presented. The 5:30 seating had wonderful service. We gave the entrees ratings of 8,9,10,9,8. Creative menu that made us want to learn to make the dishes. A lot of prep went into the meal. This is a theme date to take your special sweetie. Present him or her w/a red rose while sipping the love potion and you'll bring a smile.
Reviews: 10
|Took my mom for the Mother's Day brunch and it was very disappointing. The service was very slow, the food portions were small and didn't have much flavor. The best thing was the little, and I mean "little" plate of bakery appetizers. They were great, but tiny portions and no seconds. We went here for the brunch several years ago and it was wonderful. They need to go back to their roots a bit.
Reviews: 8
|not good enough for the price.
Reviews: 3
|Superb & in a class all its own. The place carnivore friends (sigh) are HAPPY to eat. So healthy, desserts are almost guilt-free. Bay Area's best fine dining choice. Great service too.
Reviews: 1
|This is vegan "fine" dining at its finest. The food is creative, so it doesn't always succeed, but usually fabulous. If you want a luxurious night out, where you don't worry about price, this is it!
Reviews: 2
|I tried Milennium once; paid $200 for dinner for four, and we weren't exactly oohing and ahhing over our food. The waitstaff were inattentive, and our food took forever to arrive. Still, it was OK.
Reviews: 34
|I've been going to Millennium since they were over in the Abigail. It was and is a wonderful place. Skilled staff, freshest ingredients, scrumptious pairings. Comapassionate fine dining.
Reviews: 1
|Great if you want to dress up and have a fancy night out, but over priced and over rated. Sad to say I know, but people get all defensive about this public symbol of veganism in the bay area. I used to really love Millennium, but over the year's subtle changes and higher prices, make it hard to justify spending $50+ a head. The yummy appetizer spread is no more, as well as the signature Napoleons and Millennium 'steak' entrees. Bottom line, the food is good but not as good as it used to be.
Reviews: 82
|Delicious soups and desserts.Seasonal menu. Like their winter (and late fall, early spring) menu which has winter squashes and more chocolate dessert options. Still my favorite restaurant.
Reviews: 65
|Cold, awkward hotel-lobby feel, the dishes we tried varied from medicore to phenomenal. Too pricey - and risky with the mediocre dishes - to go often.
Reviews: 4
|Solid, but unspectacular fare. A bit overhyped, but pleasant surroundings add to the element. The service can be diffident at times, but they get such a crowd there, I can guess they can afford that.
Reviews: 2
|Truly great restaurant, probably my favorite in the Bay Area. I go there on special occasions: prices are too high to go more often. Food is very elegantly presented, and delicious.
Reviews: 4
|Almost everything on the menu has garlic in it. BUT they said if I call ahead of time they can make me a special meal. I will return for the dessert though!
Reviews: 16
|The food here is always superb - unlike any other restaurant - very tasty and creative. Worth the price. Drawback: service can be bad sometimes. Desserts are always great and atmosphere is pleasant.
Reviews: 3
|High end food worth the price. I bought the cook book and couldn't even begin to make what they offer. The labor alone is worth the price..and it ain't cheap. I've never been less than delighted.
Reviews: 3
|This place is always excellent. The menu has changed since the last time I was there, but still just as good. For dessert-warm chocolate cake with melted chocolate in the middle-delicious!!!
Reviews: 7
|A special-occasion (or anytime!) restaurant. Very elegant/chic. Your non-veggie friends will enjoy themselves here. Their specialty nights (e.g., southern cooking) are a treat.
Reviews: 20
|Entrees were a bit complicated - too many flavors in each dish. But still tasty and the dssert was AMAZING! I had bread pudding with huckleberry ice cream. Wish we could afford to go more often.
Reviews: 30
|A must-visit restaurant (when I can afford it!), but I find the entrees to be a bit overly complex for my tastes. I prefer the simpler salads and appetizers. The desserts are amazing.
Reviews: 37
|The food snob in me rejoices every time I go to Millennium! They use a lot of organic items & they usually have a raw item on the menu. Their bland specialty elixirs & cocktails are the only letdown.
Reviews: 34
|This is vegan fine dining at it's best. Creative, delicious, elegant food, tasteful atmosphere & great service. Superb!

Scripture: Matthew 18: 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 ¶ Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Observation: I believe the primary application of these verses is about offending new believers and causing them to fall away from their faith. However Jesus began this line of teaching by bringing a little child to stand before them. So every time I read these verses, I think of children, and I think of those who murder/abort them and call it "choice". If we receive the children, we receive Jesus. So if we reject them, we reject Jesus. I hear the Lord say, "Woe to the nation who makes it legal to murder their children." I hear Him say, "Woe to those who know it is happening and stand by and do nothing!" Our nation is being forced to deal with this issue through the trial of the abortion doctor who murdered the aborted children who were born alive. If he would have murdered them a minute before they were born, it would have been OK. But he did it after they were born. But in all of this, I am thankful; I am so very thankful God forgives!!!
Application: I want to be like Jesus and welcome children. I want them to know they are safe in my presence.
Prayer: Lord, show me how to share your love with children. Love them through me. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

We want the designer to be creative in the realm of corporate branding. I will be giving lots of feedback and will check this website often for submissions and comments. We only have a few requirements:
Our #1 requirement is for the letters of our brand name Teveren to be clearly readable. I believe it takes a large amount of creativity and genius to make a simple and professional brand. We are not looking for anything cluttered or complex. The choice of font, color and capitalization is up to the designer. We have a slogan, "Secure Solutions", which you are welcome to use in the logo if it fits well. If the slogan does not work well in the design, you are also free to remove it. The design of the actual letters in t-e-v-e-r-e-n in the logo will be one of our key factors in the decision.
We are a security focused technology company, but the logo does not need to include any traditional symbols like shields or locks. We want a brand that is unique to our business that conveys our professionalism. We aren't big fans of modifying a T for the symbol, unless it is done very well of course.
The designs I will typically rate the highest will be ones where the viewer's focus is on the letters of the word Teveren. If you include a graphic, it should not be huge and the center of attention. Just another reminder that the changes to the actual letters themselves in Teveren should be subtle so the characters remain readable.
We would like for the logo to be able to work on a light and a dark background.

Charging by the Byte to Curb Internet Traffic
Some people use the Internet simply to check e-mail and look up phone numbers. Others are online all day, downloading big video and music files.
For years, both kinds of Web surfers have paid the same price for access. But now three of the countrys largest Internet service providers are threatening to clamp down on their most active subscribers by placing monthly limits on their online activity.
One of them, Time Warner Cable, began a trial of Internet metering in one Texas city early this month, asking customers to select a monthly plan and pay surcharges when they exceed their bandwidth limit. The idea is that people who use the network more heavily should pay more, the way they do for water, electricity, or, in many cases, cellphone minutes.
That same week, Comcast said that it would expand on a strategy it uses to manage Internet traffic: slowing down the connections of the heaviest users, so-called bandwidth hogs, at peak times.
AT&T also said Thursday that limits on heavy use were inevitable and that it was considering pricing based on data volume. Based on current trends, total bandwidth in the AT&T network will increase by four times over the next three years, the company said in a statement.

Business Applications
Whether you need basic high-speed connectivity for your computers and servers or a comprehensive voice, data, and wireless technology solution, Cisco 300 Series switches can meet your business needs. Possible deployment scenarios include:
High-speed desktop connectivity. Cisco 300 Series switches can quickly and securely connect
employees working in small offices with one another and with all of the servers, printers, and other
devices they use. High performance and reliable connectivity help speed file transfers and data
processing, improve network uptime, and keep your employees connected and productive.
Secure wireless connectivity. Cisco 300 Series switches work with Cisco and third-party wireless
solutions to extend the reach of your network. Employees can work productively from conference
rooms and common areas, collaborate in any office, and access business applications from wherever
they are. Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables the switch to send power over the network cable to
power wireless access points and simplifies the wireless deployment. Gigabit Ethernet speed helps
ensure that your employees have the bandwidth and performance they need to make the most of
mobile productivity. And with embedded security, your employees can work with confidence, knowing
that only authorized users can access the network and network applications.
Unified communications. The Cisco 300 Series provides QoS features to enable you to prioritize
delay-sensitive traffic in your network and let you converge all of your communications solutions –
such as IP telephony and video surveillance – over a single Ethernet network. Cisco offers a complete
portfolio of IP telephony and other unified communications products designed for small businesses,
and Cisco 300 Series switches have been rigorously tested to help ensure easy integration and full
compatibility with these and other vendor products.

Network Component Consideration and Comparisons
Things you should consider before selecting network components....
Network Switch vs. Router Primer
Switches and routers are the building blocks for all business communications, from data to voice and video to wireless access. They can improve profitability by enabling your company to increase productivity, trim business expenses, and improve security and customer service.
What is a network switch and what is a router? The two pieces of equipment look similar and perform some similar functions, but each has its own distinct function to perform on a network.
What is a Network Switch?
To understand basic networking, you first need to answer the question, "What is a network switch?"
Most business networks today use switches to connect computers, printers and servers within a building or campus. A switch serves as a controller, enabling networked devices to talk to each other efficiently. Through information sharing and resource allocation, switches save businesses money and increase employee productivity.
What is an Unmanaged Switch?
An unmanaged switch works right out of the box. It's not designed to be configured, so you don't have to worry about installing or setting it up correctly. Unmanaged switches have less network capacity than managed switches. You'll usually find unmanaged switches in home networking equipment.
What is a Managed Switch?
A managed network switch is configurable, offering greater flexibility and capacity than an unmanaged switch. You can monitor and adjust a managed switch locally or remotely, to give you greater network control. Storage Networks certified engineers are able to train, integrate, manage, and troubleshoot your network switches either on-site or remotely.
What is a Network Switch versus a Router?
Switches create a network. Routers connect networks. A router links computers to the Internet, so users can share the connection. A router acts as a dispatcher, choosing the best path for information to travel so it's received quickly.
Make an Informed Decision
Storage Networks will assist in selecting and integrating the product that:
- Minimizes the effort of integration and management
- Accomplishes your IT objectives with minimal risk
- Leverages your current resources to meet budget requirements
Contact a Project Coordinator today for the information you need to make an informed decision.

Ivory Coast's displaced people
Date created : Latest update :
Several hundred thousand Ivorians fled post-election violence a year ago. More than 150,000 refugees are thought to remain outside the country, as well as some 80,000 internally displaced people according to UN figures, the majority of whom are thought to have been pro-Gbagbo supporters. Many are asking for help from the government, which has been slow to respond. Our correspondent Maureen Grisot went to meet those who have been living for nearly a year in tents on the outskirts of Abidjan.

Have you ever locked two kids in your running car and a third child in the house all at once?
As embarrassed as I am to admit it, my husband and I accidentally did this when we were in the process of building our house. Through a comedy of errors where each of us thought the other had the car and house keys, we found ourselves standing outside of our newly-built home with a 2-year-old and 1-year-old locked in our running SUV, while our 2-month-old infant daughter was locked in her carrier inside the house.
Of course you can imagine the panic that ensued…until one of our new neighbors calmly walked across the street and wedged a credit card into the door frame, popping the lock. Of course I vowed two things right then and there: a) to always use the deadbolt lock and b) we needed to ensure that we were always able to gain access to the house.
Until now we've used a PIN pad attached to our garage door to achieve this, leaving our door leading inside in the garage unlocked. Of course had I known that there were such things as the Kwikset SmartKey available before now, we could have solved this in a much simpler and more secure manner!
My husband installed the Kwikset Arlington Handle and SmartKey Keyless Deadbolt in under 20 minutes — all while I was away on a business trip and he was in charge of all five kids. So that tells you just how easy it is!
The handle is so much more attractive than the boring basic doorknob we had previously, and I love the keyless deadbolt. It automatically locks behind you after 30 seconds, and all you have to do to get back in is punch a 4-digit code that you set into the PIN pad. We're definitely buying a second SmartKey for our door in the garage!
One Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a Kwikset SmartKey prize pack that includes:
- Your choice of a Arlington handleset, Tustin lever or Juno knob
- SmartCode Signature Series Keyless Deadbolt
To enter, tell me how you manage your house keys. Do you have multiple keys in case you get locked out? Do your children have keys to the home? Perhaps a neighbor keeps a spare key in case of emergencies.

Those are cute! But the Valentines are even cuter!!!! What a great idea!
On a sidenote: There is a hallmark commercial with a little boy and his grandpa and the little boy looks so much like Brooklyn! Everytime I see it I wonder, is that actually him? It is probably just because this kid has the same face shape, eye color, hair color, and haircut that your Brooklyn has.... But I always think of you when I see the commercial!
Sorry - hope that doesn't sound creepy. I don't comment often but am always lookin over your blog for ideas and inspiration!
- February 10, 2011 at 10:30 AM

Thank you! Sheena, that is too funny! I've seen that commercial, but I will have to pay closer attention to the little boy next time it airs! Not creepy. Thank you! xoxo

What is most striking about this 1871 map of Montague Center is how little the town's configuration changed over the next 130 years. The rail line on the northern edge of town, crossing the Northfield Road at Montague Station, is now owned by the New England Central Railroad, but is rarely used. The grist mill of H.D. Capin & Co. on the Saw Mill River now houses the Book Mill. But the two major churches of the town -Unitarian and Congregational - still face each other across the small town park, and the line of houses and stores remains essentially intact. The industry, evident in the town in 1871, has disappeared, including the furniture manufactory and planing mill on the east side of town, and the rake manufacturing plant on the south side.

It's Labor Day weekend-three days of family obligations and hectic travel! How do you make it bearable? Pick up some new gear, of course. Here are a couple of recent products you could use to enhance your weekend.
Manhattan Gas BBQ Grill:
This might be your last opportunity to grill until the spring, so you might as well make it memorable with a new man-stove. For a mere $512, you can pick up the Manhattan Gas BBQ Grill. It features a wooden counter top, built-in storage, and an "infinitely" adjustable burner, which should mean that you can crank it up hot enough to melt the griddle. Sadly, it just refers to the analog adjustment knob and its lack of presets. Sigh. It's purdy, too, snagging a 2010 Reddot Design Award. [Labamo via Bornrich]
Steak Station:
Your grill's all fired up and it's time to throw on the steaks. But each one of your annoying relatives likes theirs done a different way. You can either mandate that everyone in your back yard eats rare steak, or be accomodating. The Steak Station has four probes that each take an individual measurement of your meat's done-ness. Now, you can make sure every carnivorous man-beast is satisfied with their share, and your wife is pleased with her well done slab of leather. You can pick up the Steak Station for $29.95 on Amazon. [Uncrate and Amazon]
nüvi 3790T:
If you're the type that's directionally challenged, check out Garmin's nüvi 3790T, which was released earlier this summer. It's an in-car personal navigation system that features a capacitive touch 4.3" glass screen, a built-in accelerometer, and 3D terrain views (which could be helpful if you're driving a clunker that has difficulty chugging up steep mountain slopes). It's been getting good reviews, and for the price (a substantial investment of $450), I would hope so. [Garmin via GPS Tracklog]
Kiwi Wifi and Bluetooth:
Gas is still ass-kickingly expensive in most parts of the country, so Kiwi came out with two new apps to help you maximize efficiency on your roadtrips. By plugging into your OBD2 port, Kiwi Wifi (for iDevices) and Bluetooth (for Android) are able to take direct measurements of how your driving affects your gas efficiency. Now you can test out for yourself how much worse speeding down the highway at 95 is for your MPG over hobbling along at the speed limit. [PLX Kiwi]
