Booze-Free Drinks: How to Make Rouge Tomate's Velvet Sunrise
Get the Recipe
Something about the Tequila Sunrise is lost in translation to real, snow-dusted life. North of Mexico, that mellow buzz goes directly to heartburn hangover, buttressed by whiffs of 9 a.m. Brown Bag Sunrise on the G train. For a softer way to enter the day, New York's Rouge Tomate offers the Velvet Sunrise. This spirit-free cocktail is a citrusy beta-carotene booster.
The restaurant's head bartender, Cristian Molina, was eager to work with clementine juice: "It's my favorite juice, and its window is so short—just a couple of months—so I like to use it a lot when it's in season. You can't compare it to any other citrus out there."
The natural sugars in the clementine juice, mixed with orange and a few ounces of carrot juice, provide plenty of sweetness, so he adds only a touch more by way of yuzu and ginger-agave syrups. "Yuzu and carrots are a wonderful combination," he says. "Those are the first two flavors you'll taste." Molina fine strains the carrot juice, leaving its heavy sediment out of the smooth drink.
Muddled sage—to which the drink owes its name, a nod to the herb's velvety texture—provides an earthy undercurrent beneath all that buoyant citrus.
Molina shakes and strains the medley of orange juices over ice, topping it off with a drizzle of pomegranate juice for a tangy sunrise sensation.
The result is a beautifully bright wake-up call, grounded with carrots and sage and packed to the brim with vitamins. It's the perfect, everyday foil for (or recovery from) that sharper sunrise.

Teens design anti-drinking billboards
Four student designs won competition
Billboards with an important message are getting attention from West Mifflin to Elizabeth Township. There are four billboards, all urging teenagers to not drink at the prom.
They were all designed by students at Elizabeth Forward High School. The project was a contest, challenging students to come up with the best billboard design. Lamar Advertising agreed to put the designs on billboards in the area.
One billboard featuring internet sensation "The Grumpy Cat," shows a picture of the cat and a question: "Should you drink at prom?" The word "no" is in big red letters on the cat.
The whole point is to get the attention of a certain age group. J.T. DeMarco is the student who created the Grumpy Cat billboard. "I think it does work because it's really popular and I think a lot of kids see it, so they can kind of relate to it."
Another billboard features the popular British saying "Keep calm and…" Senior Missy Day's billboard finishes the sentence with, "…and prom on." It also features the words "Lose the Booze".
Day said, "I was just really trying to think of things that are trending at the moment and I knew that I saw that pretty much everywhere I went, so, I thought it would be a good idea to get my point across."
"It's quick, you know, there's not much to read, it's real simple, because they only have seven seconds to read it," said Sam Boden, a junior at Elizabeth Forward.
Boden said he believes the message of not drinking at prom carries more weight if it comes from other students, rather than parents and teachers. "I think it's more influential, because if an adult does it, they're like, 'yeah whatever'. But, if it's your friend, if your friend does this, it really affects them."
Boden added, "I just want people to not drink and drive and stay safe and hopefully they get the idea. I hope this billboard helps one or two people."

So far in 2018, of the 114 books I've read (which DOES include the chapter books I read with my son at bedtime!) only 20 have been nonfiction. This is pretty representative of my reading habits. I am interested in nonfiction, especially memoirs, but nonfiction takes me longer to read than fiction, which makes me hesitant to pick it up. I keep feeling all those books on my TBR list looking over my shoulder as I take my time with a nonfiction book – on average, I'd say it takes me a good week longer to read one than it does a novel. This is all to say that it surprises me that my last three reads (one of which I'm currently reading) are all five star nonfiction reads, and they're all published this year.
First up, The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton. I LOVED this book. Mr. Hinton spent 30 years on death row in Alabama for crimes he didn't commit. The police and prosecution shamefully railroaded him in a sham of a trial and his court-appointed lawyer was disinterested at best. He only came up on the radar of the police because of an old grudge by a man who'd been interested in someone Hinton had dated. On Death Row, initially angry and with a heart full of vengeance at the injustice of the world and his situation, Hinton had an epiphany while hearing another man on the block crying in the night.
I didn't know his story or what he had done or anything about him that made him different from me – hell, I didn't know if he was black or white. But on the row, I realized, it didn't matter. When you are trying to survive, the superficial things don't matter. When you are hanging at the end of your rope, does it really matter what color the hand is that reached up to help you? What I knew was that he loved his mother just like I loved my mother. I could understand his pain.
… I realized the State of Alabama could steal my future and my freedom, but they couldn't steal my soul or my humanity.
This book not only taught me about the power of forgiveness and the indomitable human spirit, it also made me question my thoughts on the death penalty. To Hinton, every man on death row with him was a child of God, and was not only the worst thing he ever did (or didn't do, as his case showed.) He showed up for every man he watched walk past him on the way to the electric chair over the years by banging the bars of his cell and yelling, as did the other men in the block. It was a way to show them that in their darkest moment they weren't alone, no matter what horrible action or circumstances led them there.
They called all of us monsters. But I didn't know any monsters on the row. I knew guys named Larry and Henry and Victor and Jesse. I knew Vernon and Willie and Jimmy. Not monsters. Guys with names who didn't have mothers who loved them or anyone who had ever shown them a kindness that was even close to love. Guys who were born broken or had been broken by life. Guys who had been abused as children and had heir minds and hearts warped by cruelty and violence and isolation long before they ever stood in front of a judge and jury.
There are so many parts of this book I made notes on, so many quotable passages. The story of his legal battle to freedom takes many twists and turns and kept me turning the pages just as his struggle to remain sane and humane on death row did. Eventually he ends up being represented by Bryan Stevenson, who wrote the bestseller Just Mercy and heads the Equal Justice Initiative. While in prison, Hinton forms a book club as a way to gain some mental freedom for himself and his fellow inmates. Funnily enough, the first book they choose is James Baldwin's Go Tell it on the Mountain, which is my current Classics Club Spin pick! I just loved this book and I feel like it deserves a wide audience. If you have any desire to read books about social justice issues, the persistence of the human spirit, or just a page-turning memoir, please give this one a try.
My next five-star nonfiction read was Susan Orlean's The Library Book. This is a far-reaching book, part true crime, part memoir, part history, part exploration of the role of the public library in today's society. It was fascinating! Starting from the event of the largest library fire in the history of the United States, the devastating 1986 fire at Los Angeles's Central Library, Orlean branches off from there to discuss her own history with public libraries and the special connection to her mother who always brought her there growing up. She investigates whether or not the main suspect in the fire, Harry Peak, actually started it. (I admit that by the end of the book, I couldn't decide!) She delves into the formation and colorful history of the L.A. library system, and follows current department heads today to see how the library is impacting the community right now. All these strands are braided together beautifully. Anyone who cares the least little bit about public libraries should read this.
In Senegal, the polite expression for saying someone died is to say his or her library burned. When I first heard the phrase, I didn't understand it, but over time I came to realize it was perfect. Our minds and souls contain volumes inscribed by our experiences and emotions; each individual's consciousness is a collection of memories we've cataloged and stored inside us, a private library of life lived. It is something that no one else can entirely share, one that burns down and disappears when we die. But if you can take something from that internal collection and share it – with one person or with the larger world, on the page or in a story recited – it takes on a life of its own.
And last, I'm currently reading Michelle Obama's Becoming, and I'm confident it will also earn five stars from me. Not surprisingly, she's a beautiful writer. I'm about 130 pages in, or a third of the book. She's dating Barack and they're starting to realize just how serious the relationship is. I loved reading about her childhood growing up on the South Side of Chicago, her steady, loving parents and her close relationship with her older brother. I loved reading about her shy, buttoned down personality and her growing sense of confidence in herself. One tidbit I found fascinating is that in her kindergarten class picture, it's about 50-50 black and white kids, but by fifth grade, it's all black kids. She grew up right in the heart of the "white flight" of the 1960's. I have enjoyed her reflections on her extended family and their journeys from the South to Chicago during the Great Migration. I've also liked getting to know our former president a little better, her first impressions of him and what drew them together. I admire her vulnerability and openness in this memoir and can't wait to read more.

•Yunho During TSUTAYA Interview•
2010-06-27 21:10:32
There is a reason for being popular
(few sentences omitted)
Yesterday, there was the event and joint coverage for the certain Yunho.
(few sentences omitted)
I have written in this blog for a few times, but my profession is not to make interviews.
(few sentences omitted)
But, I am participating in more than 100 interviews every year.
I am meeting many persons, watching many events, and seeing a lot of audiences.
And, once in a while, I participate in the interviews.
But, I mostly do not ask the questions myself.
I just think of the questions, and ask a person fluent in Korean for the actual interview.
Most of the time, my understanding during the interviews are less than 50%, lol.
This is because all of the interviews are in the Korean language.
But for the person I interviewed today, all the interview was in Japanese, so I could fully understand the contents.
This is really the first time, maybe yes, maybe no.
OMG~~ just from this one fact, I thought "Great!"
This day, I was sitting right next to the interviewer, the interviewer was a different person.
To tell the truth, I have only watched episode 1 & 2 of HTTG, so I thought that it would be bad manners if I myself made the interview.
Usually, I watch the episodes as much as possible before making the interview.
So, I asked my colleague, who had watched all the episodes to be the interviewer.
(few sentences omitted)
The person answered the questions looking directly into the eyes of the person asking the questions.
We have been hearing about his honest personality, but he was beyond those talks… the scales fell from my eyes.
Of course this was my first time that I met directly with him, beforehand, I was watching him from far away, 2 to 3 songs each time. (when the events were hosted from the Korean management side)
If the events were hosted by the Japanese management side, we, the Korean related media, cannot cover the events.
(few sentences omitted)
The person I met was truly a good guy, I was so surprised. Though young, he was his own man.
Among the Tohoshinki fans around me, Yunho is the most popular. (lol)
Watching Yunho fans daily, I think that the artist and fans are similar in character,
or, in other words, have the same faith.
When I met the actual person, I found that my anticipation was correct. (lol)
He was very manlike, and conscious that he was the leader.
Inside the passionate personality, he holds objectivity, and also has the strength to stand on his beliefs.
And he does not screw someone over.
There are not many that made me feel such.
It was rare that I could feel strongly about the perfect personality, even though it was the first time we met.
The person I met was a young man who spoke with humility about his drama, in which he took the leading role for the first time.
But, he held pride in his achievements as an artist.
He was a dependable young man, who was thinking in a positive way about what he would like to do in the future, and many others.
I sincerely wished that he would overcome the next challenges, and be active in many fields.
Those who shine as artists are standing firm in their own convictions by their hard efforts.
I also thought that there is a reason for being popular.

Left the Physical Therapist much better than when I entered. John is not only friendly but is a fine concerned gentleman who knows his business. You never felt like a number as is the case with many PTs. His girl Friday makes you feel special. Which is also not the case at many PTs offices
Great staff and ample parking. Overall very good facility and highly recommend.
Within a week of having total hip replacement surgery, I started going to Rutherford Physical Therapy. Now, less than two months later, I have completed my therapy sessions. John has restored my strength, flexibility and most of all my confidence. He is extremely professional, kind and compassionate. As I am without pain now, I can go back to everything I could do before the hip pain started a year ago. I couldn't be more pleased.
Friendly, thorough, accommodating, knowledgable, and most importantly, helpful. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy.
Susan P Jun 12, 2019 I saw John to help me work through some crazy Post hip replacement challenges and a shoulder issue. When I first saw him in May I wasn't able to walk because of my balance and light headed events along without pain. He helped me be get to a point where I was walking unaided could live life with my limitation. Having autoimmune diseases changed our therapy modalities and he came up with a treatment plan to get me where I am six months later. He completed my treatment and worked with me with a home plan I am committed to follow to keep me healthy and continuing to strengthen my mobility to live a safe & healthy life. I would recommend him and his office to assist you to regain your healthy life to enjoy. A Doctor of Physical Therapy who is caring, concerned for his patients well being and who will stand up for his patients care.
I recently completed a course of physical therapy with John and I found his unassuming professionalism to be calming and reassuring. His administrator Kathy was wonderful to deal with always pleasant and friendly. THANK YOU for a positive experience!
My experience at Rutherford Physical Therapist was a wonderful one. I would definitely recommend. I'm very happy with the progress I made with the help of John's expertise. Great individual attention & excellent care. Kathy and John are such sweethearts. Thanks to John's help I'm able to walk without a limp and pain 😙🙂
I'm extremely happy with the progress I made in the few months at RPT. John's expertise helped increase my arm mobility and I was able to avoid shoulder surgery (thank you). The office is spotless and Kathy is a pleasure to deal with and both are very professional. A well deserved 5 star rating.
Mike and Natalie are amazing and returning me to health! Can't thank them enough

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, IM PLAYING GOLF AGAIN! :)
John Talty took the time to discuss my condition in-depth. He also made recommendations I could use at home which helped me to maintain my continued good health.

I had a wonderful experience with John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy. The place was very welcoming and bright. John was very professional, washing his hands and cleaning every area before treating patients. I felt like a valued patient and got to chat with other patients. His receptionist was very courteous and cordial. I looked forward to going to therapy and would strongly recommend it to others who need physical therapy.
In a word 'FANTASTICK"! John was great I always left there feeling much better... My shoulder and arm were in bad shape and John worked magic!!! A-PLUS .
I was 100% thrilled with the quality and professionalism of service I received from John and Cathy during my PT treatment. Equally important I had the outcome I had hoped for.

Great place, clean and friendly! You won't be disappointed!
Great office . Friendly staff and John is such a wonderful therapist. I recommend going there if you need physical therapy 👍
I went to John for my right shoulder after reading other's reviews. And, I was extremely happy I went. He is a true professional. He schedules just a few patients so that he can personally and carefully monitor each one. He explained things as we went along and monitored the progress. He is also extremely personable and very easy to talk to. We enjoyed conversing about different topics while I was doing my routine. At the end of the program, my shoulder had regained the strength and was comparable to my left one in movements. I highly recommend John.
I owe my excellent speedy recovery from a total hip replacement to John Talty, and the Rutherford Physical Therapy, LLC. His personalized approach to my physical therapy enabled me to get back on my feet quickly and gain the confidence I needed to take on my "life and work" routine. John addressed many of the side affects that follow THR surgery with a steady flow of exercises and much guidance. I am grateful for finding a practice that could afford me personal attention and regular progress in time. The facility is clean, the atmosphere is friendly and well equipped with a wide range of physical therapy devices.
Excellent, went there with a massive back pain & very stiff was not able to bend pass my hip, with his experience & Technics he was able get me pass my knees, & I'm able to go back to do my daily routine. Thank you for your service.
Thanks for getting my mother back on her feet! Highly recommended! Glad we were referred to you by our good friend!
When an injury, illness or accident occurs that leaves us unable to do things that we are used to doing it can be overwhelming. It can take its toll on us physically, mentally and emotionally. That is unless you are fortunate enough to be in the kind and very capable hands of John Talty of Rutherford Physical Therapy. Right away you know that you are not going through this ordeal alone. He understands the importance of providing both guidance and support. He is able to do this because he is extremely adept at the lost art of listening. When he has heard your questions and concerns John formulates a plan designed specifically for you. One of the reasons that John is so effective is his ability to explain in very understandable terms not only what he is trying to do but why. It rapidly becomes apparent you are not in this alone. Just as important as any of the equipment at Rutherford Physical Therapy is John's personalized toolbox of treatment. It includes coaching,cajoling, pampering, pushing, comfort, confidence and so much more as needed on any given day. If you listen carefully during the often grueling process of rehabilitation you may hear that some of your favorite music is playing in the background. Without you realizing it John has extrapolated that information from you and has incorporated into creating an atmosphere that is designed to help you succeed. To the extent that it is possible he makes the painful almost pleasant. It is his attention to little details that makes such a big difference. If you are looking for a 5 Star therapist I suggest that you look elsewhere. But if your goals are loftier Rutherford Physical Therapy is the place for you. I only gave Dr. John Talty 5 Stars because they wouldn't let me give him 10.
I started with John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy in October of 2016 after a bad accident at work. I started in therapy using a walker, graduated to a cane and now I am finally at the point where I do not to use my cane unless absolutely needed. From the day I started until 6/2/17 my last day has made the hardest time in my life hopeful and positive. I will be forever grateful to him for getting me almost back to normal. He always had the patients best interest at heart, pushing through boundaries without going over board, giving extra reinforcement when I was tired and felt like giving up. I would recommend anyone that needs therapy to go here!
"John helped me focus on the troubled area, managing the problem. If you listen, you'll be back in shape! Excellent therapy!"
John and the office are both fantastic! Today was my last day of physical therapy and I can honestly say that I will miss him and the place. Its pleasant, clean, the building is easy to find, there's lots of parking, and the office has all the equipment you need. If you or anyone you know needs therapy after an injury or surgery this is definitely the place to be! John always listens, encourages you, and makes sure every problem you came in with on the first visit is solved by the last visit. He always found time to see me and always made every visit as pleasant as the first.
John Talty was my physical therapist for eight months while I struggled with extreme muscle weakness brought on by an auto-immune disease. When I started with John, I couldn't drive, cook, play tennis, work... all activities I had previously enjoyed. With his help, I have gotten back to a normal life. He is a unique therapist who combines professional expertise, creativity and interpersonal skills to produce solid results. He knows when to push, when to back off, when to mix things up a bit and, most importantly, he knows how to listen. He knows how to encourage and motivate the most dispirited client. I truly hate the gym but continue to go because John convinced me how important it would be for maintaining my health and strength going forward. I'm grateful to John for helping me to get my life (and tennis game!) back, and I recommend him heartily and without reserve. If I find myself in need of a physical therapist again, John will be the one I will call.
John is a very competent and caring physical therapist. He takes the time to listen as you describe your symptoms and uses his expert knowledge to build a therapy plan that both eases your discomfort and helps you rebuild your strength. He guides the recovery process and helps you build a ongoing program that works for you so you can continue to grow stronger and maintain the gains you made while under his care.
I had a procedure on my foot last October which caused a very painful nerve condition I have called CRPS to flare up. The subsequent pain kept me house bound and unable to walk or stand for very long. I became generally weak and de-conditioned. Because of this painful condition I am very hesitant to do physical therapy because in the past some therapist have not understood my condition and chronic pain. I found them unable to break from their preset protocol and adjust to my condition and individual needs. By ignoring the need for me to build slowly or adjust the movement in a different way, I was often pushed so hard that I ended up getting hurt and forced to discontinue my therapy. John came highly recommended to me and I found him to be very talented therapist- knowledgeable about chronic pain and rehabilitation, minus the "no pain no gain" philosophy which has left me worse off in the past. He was patient and willing to listen to my concerns. He was able to design a program that helped me increase my strength without flaring the nerve disorder. If a particular exercise was too uncomfortable or difficult he would adjust the positioning or exercise so that I was still able to strengthen the weakened muscle without causing injury. It was a team effort and I was very pleased with the overall progress that I made. I am planning on calling on him again after the next attempt to fix my foot condition and I would recommend him to a friend or family member.
Excellent Care - Physically and Emotionally
The degree of professionalism was exceptional and the level of personal caring was exemplary. I needed both to heal and could not be more pleased with my experience with John. He seemed to be able to really listen to my concerns and then work with me to get results. He was always encouraging and yet honest with expectations. He definitely was THE one who got me to the level of healing to which I needed to be. Many Thanks John !!! Cathy is special. She is the person you want to deal with in this setting. She puts you at ease as soon as you enter the office and is as accommodating as humanly possible. She is a sweetheart. Thanks for you Cathy !!!
Physical Therapy
I have just completed three months of therapy at Rutherford Physical Therapy following surgery after a fall that resulted in a leg fracture. In those months I went from not being able to walk without crutches to being independent and managing stairs independently. John provides excellent personalized care and assigns exercises individualized to those under his care. He always has his eyes on each participant and was repeatedly able to provide suggestions to improve my sessions. I am thankful to both John and Cathy for their concern and their help. I have recommended Rutherford Physical Therapy to several friends and would be back if the need ever arose.
Highly Quality Service
My experience at Rutherford Physical Therapist was a wonderful one. I would definitely recommend. I'm very happy with the progress I made with the help of John's expertise. Great individual attention & excellent care. Kathy and John are such sweethearts. Thanks to John's help I'm able to walk without a limp and pain 😙🙂
Concerned, professional, and amicable
My problem was an up-and-down one with my knee, yet John was honest in his approach and would not continue if I felt that other options (surgery, after cortisone, gel-shots and PT) would be my ultimate recourse. Although I felt better after each visit, due to my situation it was short-lived, and, after a discussion with me, John was of the opinion that further therapy would just not help. I DID go to him for a previous lower back problem, and his rehab was right on the money (hence my return to him for additional PT). In fact, my very first visit was prompted by an overheard discussion in the elevator when a client was raving about her therapist at Rutherford Physical Therapy. Upon her "recommendation" I called when I needed PT - the rest is happy history.
I could not use my left arm for two years. rotator cup, and pinched nerve, after my therapy with John i am able to get my life back! He is a great physical therapist! He is kind and truthful, works with you to address all your needs.. kathy the do all receptionist is a added breath of fresh air. they are both a delite and a godsend! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, IM PLAYING GOLF AGAIN! :)
Professional and friendly
Great individual attention, excellent care. I recommend this place. Wonderful staff. Thank you John and Cathy.
This was my first experience having physical therapy after sustaining a knee injury and I was extremely impressed with John and his management of my treatment plan. The muscle strengthening and gait and balance exercises were remarkable! After only three weeks of the proposed four week plan, I was back to being able to do my power walking and actually increased the distance from two miles to four miles per day. And the emotional "high" of this achievement was so wonderful since I was unable to perform any power walking for almost two months. Now, feeling even stronger added a confidence and determination to continue all of the exercises at home to pursue exciting new work out interests such as hot yoga and Pilates. Thank you John for your utmost professionalism, and the skill and concern you express to your patients and the most pleasant environment that you have created to treat your patients in. Starting with the front end registration area and your receptionist, Cathy who is just the "finest" with her professional and friendly attitude. Having recently retired from working in a healthcare facility, I totally respect and admire the first contact a patient has with a provider. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy and my only regret is that my therapy has ended because it was such an enjoyable and educational experience!
Great Place to get better
Best physical therapy
John is an amazing 5herapist who truly cares for his patients. He allows suffice to time so you never feel rushed. If I ever needed therapy again I would come here.
Friendly and professional atmosphere
Finally feeling relief from arthritis pain. Thank you Dr. Talty!
Friendly and Helpful
This is the second time that I have used Rutherford Physical Therapy and both times my experience was great. John is very helpful and spends lots of time making sure your rehab plan is individualized and right for you. John is very helpful and flexible with scheduling. I would 100% recommend and if I need PT again I will return here!
Knowledgeable and highly qualified Physical Therapist
John Talty is a wonderful therapists who really cares about his patients. His treatment of and communication with patients is exemplary; his skills and knowledge are beyond compare. John schedules his appointments with enough time to help each patient. I never felt neglected or rushed. The atmosphere at Rutherford Physical Therapy is so positive! Most importantly, everyone John treats leaves with a feeling of hope and the certainty that their lives will be better. I would highly recommend John to anyone.
That John Talty truly wants to help people is most evident. He is a knowledgeable, warm and caring professional. John schedules appointments to allow for maximum personal attention to each client. You never feel like just a number. The environment is clean and calming unlike some other facilities which can seem hectic. Not only did John help alleviate my neck pain, but provided an honest evaluation as to realistic expectations which was greatly appreciated. Rutherford Physical Therapy is highly recommended.
Friendly, very professional.
While attending therapy at Rutherford Physical Therapy I was relaxed and would leave there feeling so much stronger and better. I cannot say enough about John, excellent therapist!! I continue to do my exercises now at home and I must admit I do feel a difference. So happy I kept the add placed in Bergenite Newspaper. I have recommended Rutherford Physical Therapy to several friends already. John is so warm and welcoming, he truely loves what he does. He shows he cares for his patients. Thanks John.
The Service is Unprecedented
John, is the model service all others are trying to achieve. He is the best at what he does, and I have other PT and medical service experience that has been provided to me as a customer to compare him too and he is very good. His politeness, professionalism and the personal attention is the best. You will not go wrong in using his services. You will be more than impressed.
John is the best!!!
This is not a one size fits all therapist. John treats each patient as an individual and puts in time to find the best line of treatment for you. No one compares to John in terms of care and knowledge. Nice looking facility and very friendly atmosphere.
I went for physical therapy 6 weeks ago for a tear in my rotator cuff. My shoulder had so much discomfort I had trouble sleeping and could not throw a ball. After the therapy my shoulder feels great and I am sleeping through the night . I can now have a catch with my son with no pain . Thanks to John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy.
Professional, Encouraging, Supportive, and Understanding
I have just completed more than 12 weeks of physical therapy for a knee replacement with John Talty at Rutherford Physical Therapy. John made my long and sometimes very difficult recuperation, an extremely positive experience. Always being supportive and understanding, he listened to my concerns and continually had an encouraging solution to address each of them. He motivated me during each visit to push and do a bit more. Never pushing me past my limit and always concerned for how I was feeling and my level of pain. I left each therapy session uplifted and wanting to push on. Through John's direction and strengthening/flexibility exercises, I am able to walk up and down a flight of stairs, (step-over-step), for the first time in many years. Now that I have achieved my first goal, I will continue to work toward my second goal..skiing this winter! Thank you, John for helping to make these goals attainable. If you need a physical therapist, I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy. John is outstanding!
Very professional, friendly and A1 service
I just completed my therapy session yesterday. I am very happy and satisfied with the service / treatment I got from this place. Dr. John B Talty is very caring, friendly and professional person. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for high quality professional treatment. Rajesh
excellence beyond expectations
I am more than happy that I chose Rutherford Physical Therapy and had the opportunity to meet such an excellent physical therapist, John Talty. I found him to be highly knowledgeable, caring, confident, friendly and most importantly, focused on my individual need. The treatment he developed for my pain truly reduced the discomfort that I was experiencing for some time. I cannot thank him enough.
Best therapist ever
I have been to different therapists over the last seven years. Never have I had a therapist like John Talty. He gave me individualized attention that I truly needed and the courage to do all that was required of me. He is warm, compassionate and knew exactly how to treat my condition. Rutherford Physical Therapy is not like any other place I attended. John gives all of his patients a personal touch. Today being my last session with John made me sad, I cried all the way home. I feel like I lost a friend as opposed to being happy that I'm finished. I know that if I need him for anything he will be here for me. I would recommend him to any one in need of therapy.
Sensational Service.
John is a sensational Physical Therapist.Very approachable and flexible. Best PT I've had yet.
very professional and friendly
John was very friendly & professional. Working with John was easy, he took time to help me get the most of my therapy sessions. John had given me the best program for getting me back to before my surgery. John knew when I needed an extra push and when I couldn't go any more. I came in needing a cane and left walking almost 100% of my normal ability.
Caring and Skilled Professional
I had significant pain and restricted movement in my injured shoulder. One orthopedist recommended surgery and another recommended 8 weeks of PT. I really wanted to avoid surgery and John was on board with the plan. John is compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled and creative. I am really happy with my recovery and want to thank John for his amazing work!
Rutherford Physical Therapy, LLC
I have just completed six weeks of physical therapy with John Talty, owner, Rutherford Physical Therapy. John's dedication and attention to each person in his care is second to none. He was treating me for a painful knee injury. My progress to recovery was steady, with improvement each week. After six weeks of physical therapy, I am now pain free thanks to John. The care that I received at Rutherford Physical Therapy was the best PT that I have experienced. John's dedication to his clients is one of total attention to each person he is working with. There are very few patients in a session which allows him to devote his time to each individual. He is very caring, listens, and is completely dedicated to providing optimum care to each patient. I would definitely recommend John to anyone in need of physical therapy. I give Rutherford Physical Therapy a five star rating.
i had a left Hip Replacement Dec 9th 2015 and John from Rutherford Physical Therapy came to my house Dec 12th to get me started in my rehabilitation. From the beginning there was progress as he had me to Exercises and helped with Stretching. By the 2nd or 3rd visit i was starting to walk better even though its a process. I continued with John up until 3rd week of February 2016 and i felt Strong, i was able to go up and down Stairs with no holding etc and overall felt good. I started back in Crossfit after that so he had me Mentally and Physically prepared for all that has come my way since the Surgery. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone, he is very informative about the rehab process with mine about the Hip of course and if ever in the future i need any kind of Physical Therapy i will contact John.
I have been to many therapist this by far was my best experience ever it was a pleasure to being at this facility I was never rushed , I was worked to a point where my leg has no problems he was very professional and thorough . I would recommend him to anyone needing this service.
Awesome therapist and amazing place!
John and the office are both fantastic! Today was my last day of physical therapy and I can honestly say that I will miss him and the place. Its pleasant, clean, the building is easy to find, there's lots of parking, and the office has all the equipment you need. If you or anyone you know needs therapy after an injury or surgery this is definitely the place to be! John always listens, encourages you, and makes sure every problem you came in with on the first visit is solved by the last visit. He always found time to see me and always made every visit as pleasant as the first.
Excellent Care
I've had a long lasting back issue that has required 14 surgical interventions with a few of those being lumbar fusions. I've tried different therapies and therapists before, but Rutherford Physical Therapy was perfect for me. John's individualized care and approach is second to none. He is very knowledgable and goes above and beyond to help his patients get better. I have truly never met such a caring and compassionate person like him before. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering in pain.
Caring and Professional
I saw John from Rutherford Physical Therapy for chronic pain in my back and joints. I had back surgery 15 years ago and over the past 2-3 years I experienced an increase in pain. At first I was a bit skeptical about physical therapy because I've gone to those name brand chains in the past and the results were minimal. This time however, I chose Rutherford Physical Therapy and couldn't be happier. John was my therapist and he listened closely to my concerns and modified the exercises to address my needs. No two days were the same and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy to anyone seeking rehabilitation treatments.
John at Rutherford Physical Therapy is simply the best. He was able to help me get my shoulder back to good working order in no time. Thru a series of appointments we went from severe pain in my shoulder to myself being able to throw a ball again. The slip on the ice in March caused a tear in my shoulder. John was able to diagnose it right away and get me on a treatment schedule. In a very professional work space John had me put the time and effort in to heal my shoulder in a very short amount of time. I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Rutherford Physical Therapy. You will know you picked the right therapist from the minute you meet John in his fantastic new office space.
Miracle Worker
When I first came to Rutherford Physical Therapy I was being treated at a different facility for quite a number of weeks without any noticeable improvement. My first visit I could barely walk, getting out up out of a chair was a challenge. I had injured my knee, later to find out I had burst Bakers Cysts. I began seeing John three times a week. Within a few weeks I was walking better, had significantly less pain and was riding a stationary bike. During a yoga teacher training program I further injured myself. The doctors told me I had torn an abdominal muscle. While I hadn't finished PT for my knee, John began incorporating exercises for my torn muscle as well. I was in PT for quite some time, however it going to see John on the recommendation of a friend was probably the best thing I could have ever done. By the time I graduated from Physical therapy I was able to run for a full 4 minutes, while this may not be much to many it is a large achievement for me. I would never have been able to do that if not for all the top notch physical therapy I received. There are so many talented therapists out there, however, when one goes to Rutherford Physical Therapy that person will not only heal the physical ailments but will also have a friend. John Talty is not only an extremely talented therapist but kind, compassionate and truly loves what he does. It is so evident in the care that is given that John has found his true calling. John always has a kind word and an easy smile. I would never go anywhere else ever again.
High Quality Service
He was wonderful. Very respectful and kind. He knew how to push me in the right way. It's because of him that I'm back on my feet and moving well. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. I would very highly recommend him to anyone.
Great Therapy with a great person
I've had the pleasure working with John Talty to get my left leg and knee stronger and I couldn't be more happier with the results. He helped me get back into running shape and all of my aches and pains went away. He is very knowledgeable about the human body and knows what he is talking about when it comes to rehabilitation. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for results.
John Tully's care was instrumental in my recovery after being bedridden in Intensive Care for 11 days in the hospital. John developed a program that was specific to my situation, using his wealth of knowledge to get me back where I could function my daily duties. John was punctual, always pleasant in his demeanor, professional, caring, and never rushed through the PT session. Thanks to John's first rate service, I will also consider Rutherford Physcial Therapy for any physcial therapy needs in the future
Amazing experience!
John was so great with my 6 year old daughter. She was so comfortable with him and he treated her with great care! She likes going to therapy. He has made her rehabilitation process a positive and enjoyable experience.
Having John to take care of my physical problems is being treated with his knowledge and touch to teach me what is the proper way to heal
John's knowledge seems endless and always treats the problem that I am having at the time I arrive until I finally leave. I go away knowing he cares about me like he has only one patient. He has treated me with his hands as well as his mind and like I am his friend.
Knee replacement P T
Had my second knee replacement and received physical therapy for both knees. My experience has been with two therapist , Dr. John Talty gave me in house and office treatment .It was exceptional . I would highly recommend "Rutherford Physical Therapy" to any one that needs it, Very professional and individual hands on treatment. Five stars in my book.
Wonderful expierence....would definitely recommend!
I went to John after suffering nerve damage to my leg during labor. I was unable to walk, go up and down stairs, I would fall with out notice. I was using a walker to get around. John worked with me and after about 4 weeks of therapy I regained the use of my leg. He was professional and caring. He gave me excersises that were helpful and useful. I would definatly recommend John and Rutherford PT.
John is an outstanding physical therapist. His small practice gives you individual attention. I had a hamstring injury which is now fully recovered. I highly recommend him.
Torn pec
I started coming to Rutherford Physical Therapy because of a surgery I had, do to a torn pec. The doctor told me I would be out of work for 6 months. Rutherford Physical therapy had me back to work inside of 4. And I feel great. Thank you, John you made the process much easier, I feel stronger now then I ever did!

There is usually at least one funny conversation in our household each day. I often share these conversations with friends and family on my Facebook page, but I decided to share the fun with all of you. Here are a few from the past few months.
Carlos: Opossum is same as a "tacuazin", right?
Me: I think so. Check Google Images.
Carlos: How do you spell it?
Me: O-P-
Carlos: O?!
[I was talking to Carlos about something I can't remember and I said, "even though I'm not Latina"]
10 year old [interrupts]: You are too!
Me: No, honey, I'm not.
10 year old: You are Latina! You're half like me!
Me: No, baby, I'm not Latina.
10 year old: Mommy, you are, cause you married Daddy.
Me: If you marry someone from China, are you going to be half Chinese?
10 year old: Yeah, of course!
Me: Oh. I didn't know it worked that way.
Me: How do you say "listeners" in Spanish?
Carlos: What kind of listeners?
Me: Like listeners to a radio show… Would it be "escuchantes?"
Me: It's in Kansas.
Carlos: Which Kansas?
Me: What do you mean which one? Kansas, the state.
Carlos: But is it in Kansas or Ar-Kansas?
Gringo co-worker: Hey you see those two German Shepherds over there?
Carlos: Yeah.
Gringo co-worker: You better watch out. They don't like Mexicans.
Carlos: Well, good thing I'm not Mexican.
13 year old: I'm supposed to make tabs to divide my notebook for Spanish class.
Me: Okay.
13 year old: The teacher wants us to label one of the tabs "RECURSOS."
Me: Mmhm.
13 year old: What does it mean?
Me: Can you take a guess?
13 year old: …Um… Repeat diarrhea?
Hey, at least he broke the word down and made a logical guess based on what he knows. ("Curso" is slang for "diarrhea" in El Salvador – not sure if that's the case for anywhere else.)
[Me reading bedtime story to my 10 year old]
Me: "¿Puedes encontrar la araña?"
10 year old: Mommy, I'm not stupid. The spider is right there.
"You have to give me the credit of the doubt." – Carlos
(He mixed up "Give me credit" and "benefit of the doubt.")
"Do you know what time Obama is supposed to start speaking? … I want to watch but I don't want to miss Chavito." – Carlos
"You're just adding more wood to the fire." – Carlos
(He meant "fuel to the fire.")
"I want to rent that movie Chale Homes." – Carlos unsuccessfully trying to say "Sherlock Holmes" but sounding like a Chicano instead.

Whole Grain Multi-Seed Levain Loaves
I haven't baked in almost a month and my hands were starting to shake. Withdrawl is no fun.
I decided to bake up a couple of staple loaves with some small tweaks to test my post vacation abilities. Simple levain with whole wheat, bread, and rye flours. Flax, barley, sunflower, cracked wheat, oats, and sesame seed packed.
Forgive me for going overboard with the photos. I recently acquired some new gear and learned some new techniques on Photoshop. A bit shutter happy since my trip to Arizona (668 photos!).
And now to go off on an Arizona prickly pear theme tangent. This bread is a great excuse to use that up.
This one is dedicated to dabrownman. Thought I would capture what that lucky bum gets every night of his life.
Mesa, AZ., my new favourite place to visit.

HARD Haunted Mansion 2009
I'll admit that most rave flyers are trash. And especially the flyers for the HUGE, super-popular, and always-packed ones can get away with so-so stuff because the event and the headliners are an automatic sell out. But this year's flyer for Hard Haunted Mansion is pretty minimal for Halloween rave status. One can suppose that Deadmau5, Miodskeletor, Steve Aoki and Justice make this eye-catching enough.

Alls fair in love and war(craft)
I got my first auction house hate! I'm so excited! I must be doing it really well if I managed to piss someone off. Every week, I laugh reading Greedy Goblin's Morons of Week posts. "People aren't really like that, are they? I thought. No one on my server must get upset at others over silly AH stuff." I get the impression that Gelvon's readers are mostly poking fun at suboptimal money making strategies, but what I find hilarious is seeing people get so worked up over auction house prices that they're ready to pick a verbal fight over it. Horrible spelling and grammar is an added bonus. Nothing makes a verbal fight more entertaining than when the challenger has no actual verbal skills to fight with.
The frustration over pvp stuff – be it horde vs alliance killing or the more, um, sophisticated?, competition on the AH – puzzles me. In either situation, I will be choosing actions that will 1) make me win and 2) make others loose. I may cruelly MC and fear others with my shadow priest in the BGs as well. And, of course, I expect my rivals to do the same and I'm fine with that. Why? Because that's the game.
There are rewards for winning: honor points, arena points, gold. There are penalties for losing, but they're minor. A couple of lost gold pieces and delayed rewards, but that's pretty much it. On a pvp server, there is the added frustration of being slowed in your questing while you're getting ganked, but as I see it, the whole point of choosing a pvp server over a pve server is the extra thrill of being subjected to the whims of your enemy and they to yours. (Pvp server people must be kinky.) As a result, I don't feel any remorse for using all the tools at my disposal in any forms of pvp and I don't feel any resent when my opponents use theirs. We're all after the rewards, we have little to lose and regardless of the ultimate outcome, we're having fun along the way.
As for my little auction house provocation, I have to admit that I was pretty surprised about getting some hate. I don't play the auction house seriously. My goals are really just to cover my raiding and goofing off expenses with minimal effort. I know many AH players claim to make 1-2k net profit a day. I don't make nearly that much but I don't really try either. I picked the glyph market because it's fun. There are so many different styles of glyph sellers on Moonrunner that the market changes constantly. Glyphs that go for 1g one day will be priced at over 40g the next and vice versa. I'm no specialist on the mechanics of it all so I'm not even going to guess at whats going on, all I know is that the gambling side of it is terribly amusing, far, far more amusing than doing dailies. And even my nonchalant, half assed attempt at playing the AH is more than enough to support my raiding, my multispeccing and my army of alts. But I didn't expect my nonchalant, half assed attempts to be enough to frustrate the other glyph sellers.
What stuck out is that the first whisper she (no, no I'm not being sexist, I'm familiar with the toon in question and I'm pretty positive the player is a woman. She's fairly active on our server which is why I blocked out the name, I want to discuss an aspect of player interactions, not ruin someone's reputation) sent me is "what did I do to annoy you". Well, it wasn't exactly what she said, but I'm assuming she was just really mad and couldn't type properly. Why on earth would anyone assume that deeply undercutting was a personal attack? I deeply undercut because 40+g glyphs won't sell before some farmer comes along and floods that market. It has nothing to do with her. It's a game, like chess, she made her move, I made mine. Maybe I'll win and she'll lose, maybe we'll both lose and some third person will win. Most likely, we'll all win a little and we'll all be able to afford a few more weeks a raiding and another epic mount.
To me, PVP is part of the game, part of the fun. There's nothing personal about it. I don't care if you teased me and made me cry back in first grade or if you're my best friend in real life. If you're on the opposing faction and I feel like killing your toon, I'll do it. If you're selling stuff on the AH and I want to make money, I'll undercut you in a way to make the most profit. And I hope you do the same to me. For me, being forced to think and adjust my strategy is the ultimate reward in pvp. Don't disappoint me.Explore posts in the same categories: General WoW

A Long Island woman was arrested after she was allegedly found sitting in a parked car half-conscious with several bags of heroin and a baby sweating profusely in the back seat.
Officers found the 28-year-old woman slumped over in a Dodge parked in a lot off the Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown at about 2:30 p.m. Monday, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
The infant was moving around in a seat in the back of the car, which police say was locked and had its windows rolled up.
Officers say they knocked on the window until the woman got out. She was then placed under arrest. Police say they found a hypodermic needle and three bags of heroin.
The infant was taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion and was held overnight for observation.
The woman, Jessica Rosengart, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of reckless endangerment.
She also faces criminal contempt charges because she allegedly violated a court order barring her from being with the child alone or possessing drugs. It's not clear if she has an attorney.

Frans Indongo Lodge
Frans Indongo Lodge is situated on a 170km2 farm in the proximity of the Waterberg Plateau and about 43km north from the town of Otjiwarongo. The lodge is named after its owner, Dr. Frans Indongo. He was born a local farmer's son who tended the family livestock during his childhood, but with a healthy entrepreneurs mind, he went to become one of the wealthiest men in Namibia. One of his enterprises was to buy the farm upon which Frans Indongo Lodge now stands. Part of the farm is still used for agriculture, but the main focus is wildlife and the property is home to species rarely seen in Namibia such as sable, roan and eland.

Our view of Frans Indongo Lodge
Frans Indongo Lodge is a very well-run, comfortable, affordable stop-over with a modern feel for travellers en-route to Etosha National Park or Namibia's Caprivi Strip. We never think of it, or talk of it, as a wildlife destination - so the animal and birdlife which is here often comes as a pleasant surprise for our travellers.

text: This is easily the most unorganized, undisciplined, and physically unfit Steelers team that I have ever seen. Watching this team lose to pathetic teams, or watching them beat pathetic teams solely on the back of Roethlisberger and a couple of receivers makes it painfully apparent that this team would get slaughtered even if it makes the playoffs. The best thing for the team is to miss the playoffs so ownership has an excuse to erase the worst mistake it's ever made: Mike Tomlin.

In my book it says "We can apply static to a local array declaration so the array is not created and initialized each time the function is called and the array is not destroyed each time the function is exited in the program."
When an array is created where exactly is the creation taking place? In the ram?

It has also been a busy time for me, as I've been studying for the past six months to become a Stephen Minister. This program is a lay caring ministry, which provides Christian care to people who are in crisis or facing a life challenge. I had been thinking about joining for years, but this year I knew the time was right. My friend Carrie and I have been in classes since November learning to care for those we'll have the privilege of serving. And last Sunday we were commissioned as new Stephen Ministers. I was honoured to offer members of the congregation a blessing after communion, including Andrew and the girls.

|Millet Flat Bread slices for sandwiches... see those beautiful air pockets!!
The interesting thing with this recipe is that it makes a wonderfully light flat bread with
|A grilled turkey and monteray jack cheese sandwich using millet flat bread and spinach walnut pesto.
|Pizza made using millet flat bread as the base.
free of gluten, soy, and can be made dairy/casein free
created by carrie forbes @gingerlemongirl.com
printer-friendly recipe
Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups millet flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour -or- arrowroot starch
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. chia seed meal -or- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 tsp. whey protein powder -or- blanched almond flour for dairy free/casein free
1/2 tsp. salt
Wet Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. cider vinegar
1/2 cup warm water
For yeast proofing:
2 tsp. yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup warm water
In a small bowl mix yeast, 1 tsp. sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water together. Set aside. Mixture should become bubbly and creamy in appearance. In your mixer bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. In a medium sized bowl mix together all wet ingredients. Add proofed yeast to wet ingredients. Using your whisk attachment, set your mixer on medium speed and slowly pour in wet ingredients. Beat for 3-5 minutes until mixture is fully incorporated. Batter will be rather thin and pour-able (very different from the thick batter of a yeasted gluten free sandwich bread dough). Heat oven to 200 degrees and cut off immediately. Completely line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Pour batter onto parchment paper and evenly spread over whole pan. Let rise in warmed oven for 40-50 minutes until bread is puffed up and risen. Remove risen bread from oven. (During this time you may have small pockets of air to rise and then deflate in your batter -- don't worry, it will rise again during baking!) Heat oven to 425 degrees. Once oven is preheated, place pan of risen batter back into oven. Bake 11-15 minutes until bread is crispy and lightly browned on top -- see top picture! Let bread cool for 15-30 minutes before using for sandwiches or pizza.(The top may crack as it's cooling, that is just fine!)
Sandwiches: Once cooled, cut bread into rectangular slices, makes 8-10 slices depending on the size desired.
Pizza: Bake bread as directed. Immediately add pizza toppings to crust and place back in hot oven for additional 5-8 minutes until your toppings and cheese are melted and warmed through. Let cool slightly before serving.
Carrie's Recipe Notes:
- If you do not have access to ground chia seeds for this recipe, simply add 1/2 tsp. of xanthan gum as opposed to 1/4 tsp. It will work just as well! You can purchase chia seed meal from your local Whole Foods store, or from Native Seeds.
Have a great weekend!!

Clearly the least expensive health care option for anyone in
If you don't have a job that has health insurance as a benefit, you can still find low cost insurance in
Each company is likely going to offer their own selection of policies, with each containing slightly different levels of coverage. In order for you to effectively compare prices you need to ask for a quote based on the coverage you feel is necessary for your family's unique situation.
If you or a member of your family regularly uses prescription medication you'll want to find a plan that will cover a significant portion of that. If you are at a point in your life where starting a family is in the near future, a plan that provides prenatal care and coverage for the delivery of the baby is essential.
It's important to remember that as your medical situation changes each year, you can adjust your coverage as it comes up for renewal. This typically includes shopping for new quotes each time. The key is to find a policy that reflects your current medical needs and is a price that is affordable.

The year in IT was filled with big changes, as Microsoft unveiled the future of Windows and former enterprise stalwart Research In Motion continued its distressing fall toward irrelevance. The year in IT also had its uplifting stories, from the birth of the Raspberry Pi to Red Hat's success pairing financial success with a vision true to its open source ideals. And, of course, the year in IT also had its share of bizarre and perplexing stories, with the meltdown of Mitt Romney's tech team and the rise and fall of the Windows tech support scammers. Here are our choices for the most interesting stories of the bunch—and we look forward to bringing you many more in 2013.
Windows 8 launch
October 26th saw the release of Microsoft's latest—but not necessarily greatest—operating system: Windows 8. (Read our review.) The scope was ambitious. Windows 8 is striving to be an operating system that can comfortably handle iPad-style touch tablets while still running and working with decades of mouse-and-keyboard-driven desktop applications.
The result? An unpredictable hybrid. It's chock full of welcome features and improvements over Windows 7, and it really is the first version of Windows to sport a proper, usable touch interface. But with these improvements come rough edges a-plenty, and an experience that just isn't quite joined up.
Success or failure? It could go either way, with indications that it's off to a good start but may not have eclipsed its predecessor.
Microsoft gets into the hardware business with Surface
Not content with releasing a new version of Windows, Microsoft built the hardware to run it on, too. The release of the Surface tablet was a landmark event as Microsoft went beyond merely licensing an operating system for other people's hardware; it decided to build the hardware, too.
What Redmond produced was an attractive, well-built package contains plenty of smart technology—not least a three millimeter thick keyboard cover that manages to be remarkably usable—but that just doesn't quite hang together. It looks like a tablet but includes four Office 2013 apps that are all but unusable without one of those keyboard covers; it works like a laptop but without the "use it on your lap" flexibility that laptops boast.
It's a fascinating first effort, but Microsoft hasn't cracked the hardware market quite yet.
Romney vs. Obama, Orca vs. Narwhal
The 2012 presidential race wasn't the first "Internet-driven" political contest, but mobile apps and Web tools played a bigger role than ever, making IT a much more important element of presidential politics. And the difference between the IT management approaches of the Obama and Romney campaigns proved revelatory.
While IT might not have lost the election for Governor Mitt Romney, his campaign's "Project Orca" quickly became a lightning rod for frustration with the campaign's apparent mismanagement and heavy reliance on outsourcing to consultants. Meanwhile, the Obama campaign's move to essentially operate like an Internet startup helped drive a more effective fundraising and volunteer coordination effort.
Both political parties are sure to draw on the lessons learned here when they start their planning (probably in just a few weeks) for the 2014 mid-term Congressional races and the 2016 presidential race.
The passion of RIM
At the beginning of the year, Research In Motion was already in a deep nose dive because of the company's failure to keep up with shifts in smartphone and tablet technology. There were rumors the company was for sale. Instead, RIM purged its management and brought aboard a new CEO, Thorsten Heins, who has spent the last 12 months attempting to reverse the company's disastrous direction.
But as the release of the BlackBerry 10 platform was pushed further and further back (now scheduled for January 2013), and the launch of carriers' 4G LTE networks left the existing BlackBerry models gathering dust in North American markets, the company struggled to keep its core customers onboard. RIM has some reason for hope in the new year, but it will likely never dominate the mobile market again; Heins has said that there's room for RIM to be successful behind Apple and Android in a more specialized niche.
HP and AMD fall in the "post-PC" economy
The success of the mobile devices that compete with RIM's BlackBerry and the shrinking PC market combined to hit AMD and HP hard as well. AMD cut back chip production and paid a heavy penalty in the process just to avoid having millions of chips sitting unsold in inventory. It released another 1,800 employees into the wild. It lost its chief financial officer (who, in a sign of how things are going for the PC industry, fled to a mobile and wireless distributor, Brightstar). And, while AMD keeps trying to crack the server market (with low-power ARM-based processors on the way for 2014), it has failed to push into new markets with its technology—putting the future of the company into doubt.
HP was already in trouble before the PC market began to tank; while the company remained the top PC manufacturer in 2012, the company's poor decisions under previous management continued to haunt it. HP purged 27,000 employees, then took an $8 billion accounting charge—in part an admission that it had spent too much on the "big data"software firm Autonomy and in part because HP's dirty laundry being aired in so many venues had done huge harm to the company's brand (and stock value) as a whole.
Raspberry Pi, one of the greatest things ever
One of the most exciting new IT products of the year is the size of a credit card and costs only $35. We're talking, of course, about the Raspberry Pi, which started shipping in the early months of 2012. It's small and cheap, but it's a real computer with an ARM CPU, a GPU, up to 512MB RAM, and enough ports to hook up a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
It's a great tool for teaching kids programming or for setting up a home media center on your HDTV. But it's also become the go-to device for some of the most impressive hacking, tinkering, and hobbyist projects around. Just look at Professor Simon Cox of the University of Southampton, who wired up 64 Raspberry Pis to make an HPC cluster housed in Legos.
The Pi was somewhat difficult to get for months, but supplies have improved recently. Soon an even cheaper version, which has lower power consumption but lacks an Ethernet port and has only one USB port, will go on sale for the low price of $25.
Windows tech support scammers get busted
In early October, the Federal Trade Commission struck a blow for everyone who has ever gotten a phone call from one of the most annoying scammers on the planet. Fraudsters claiming to be calling from "Windows tech support" call up unsuspecting victims, claim that monitoring has shown their computers are infected with malware, and demand anywhere from $49 to $450 to fix the nonexistent problems.
The FTC announced a crackdown on six companies that allegedly orchestrated the scams, filing lawsuits against them, freezing their assets and shutting down operations. The agency did some sleuthing to track down the alleged culprits, but unfortunately not every company participating in this scam has been shut down, so the annoying calls continue.
On a humorous note, many peeved citizens of the Internet have turned the tables on the scammers by performing elaborate trolls of their own, but that's the only positive outcome from this sad story.
Red Hat hits a billion dollars
There are plenty of billion-dollar tech companies, but only one hit that milestone entirely by building, maintaining, and supporting open source software. Red Hat hit the billion-dollar mark for the first time when it announced its end-of-fiscal-year earnings on March 28, shortly after we detailed its rise to prominence in the story "How Red Hat killed its core product—and became a billion-dollar business."
Red Hat was plugging along in the early 2000s with the freely downloadable Red Hat Linux when it ditched that product to come up with a completely new business model. The new flagship was Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which was still open source but introduced a subscription model that turned Red Hat into a major IT vendor.
Red Hat now leads the Linux-based enterprise server market and has expanded its product portfolio to include middleware, storage, security, virtualization, and cloud management software. Throughout Red Hat's steady rise, one thing has remained constant: all of its software is open source. So even if you don't pay Red Hat for the fully compiled bits, you can get that software and compile it yourself for free.

Zomg, I used Keydar's last name for the first time.
I bought a wacom tablet already to practice my drawing skills at first but as soon as I saw your comics, I just go the urge to make webcomics.
What kind of program do you use for drawing? The coloring will be decided by me.
I thought that you used CorelDraw but since there's a pressure meter when using the IntuosPen, I doubted you used Corel Draw.
I guess you use Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop?

August 15, 2013

Sad But True
I wish I could tell you about that night
All was good until that sight
A car pulled up on my friends and I
Bullets intended for one to die
In a Community of Blacks just like me
Why must this be the fate of me?
I guess my number was called this time
Ol, 24 a Hamilton Yankee in his prime
A future as bright as the sun can see
Shut closed in the dark of thee
Just like that in the blink of an eye
Off to be with God in the heavens of the sky
~Kenneth Miller
We know who killed Trayvon Martin, but who killed Bijan!
More than 600 mourners crammed into the 400-seat capacity Westminster Presbyterian Church on Wednesday Aug. 14th to celebrate the well-lived life of Bijan Michael Shoushtari.
A doting uncle, Pastor Mark S. Jones Sr., fondly remembered Bijan, the former Hamilton High School football captain and acrylate at Westminster Presbyterian Church along with family and friends.
Eulogized as a spiritual person, Pastor Jones Sr. recalled when Bijan started singing in the youth choir at the tender age of three. He was a lovable prankster with his two older sisters and loved to be around people both young and old.
"Bijan had an old soul," Pastor Jones Sr. told the gathering. "I knew he had an old soul because this tie that I am wearing he gave it to me as a birthday gift and someone had given it to him years before."
The comments brought a shy chuckle that briefly lifted the heavy pain all endured at the loss of the 18-year-old who managed to navigate the ills that had engulfed most young African Americans.
Bijan was a product of a close knit unit, headed by a comforting father Mano Shoushtari, a cuddling mother Marsha Jones-Shoushtari and two adorable older sisters, Samantha and Ea which completed the portrait of this model family.
It is fractured now, but the ever-glowing spirit of Bijan brought out scores of teens including the coaches and many players wearing their Kelly green Hamilton Yankee football jerseys.
As Pastor Jones. Sr. alluded to, Bijan also brought out many people that few knew he touched in a life lived so short. In attendance were middle school teachers, high school teachers and teens who didn't even attend high school with him.
The volume of their presence supported and comforted the Shoushtari family and spelled out loud and clear what a wonderful person Bijan was.
Both Pastor Jones Sr. and The Rev. Dr. Charles Marks denounced any notion that it was God who called for Bijan to die so soon.
"We worship a loving God who does not take his children for any cause other than illness or natural death," The Rev. Dr. Marks said.
A magnificent solo performance of Kirk Franklin's "Smile" by Donald Perry brought tears from Bijan's mother Marsha and two sisters Samantha and Ea, sitting front row wearing white.
Another song titled "For Good" sang by Bradley Baker was equally emotional.
A family friend Lauren Jackson called "Bijan her baby." She remembered taking him on his first date to the movies at 14. Her daughter and son share close friendships with the Shoushtari family, they too were torn by the tremendous loss.
Hamilton coach Calvin Moore encouraged mourners to "smile" because that's what Bijan would have wanted. Another coach from the football team Earnest King promised the family he would be in their time of peril.
Both sisters, Samantha and Ea struggled immensely to make it through the memorial tribute. Their father normally consoled Mano consistently wiped away tears while staring at pictures and flowers representing a scene he never prepared for.
The service was held without Bijan's remains pending law enforcements ongoing investigation.
Bijan was shot Saturday, Aug. 3, in the 4400 block of Crenshaw Blvd. He and two other people were traveling north on Crenshaw Boulevard in a 1973 white Buick Electra shortly after midnight when a light-colored, midsize vehicle drove along the passenger side and a gunman shot at the Buick, according LAPD Det. Supervisor Sal LaBarbera.
Bijan was sitting on the passenger side of the classic Buick and was struck several times, LaBarbera said. The two other people in the car were not injured.
Bijan fought for his precious life for two infinite days, countless relatives and friends converged at Cedar Sinai Hospital.
The prayers increased, their hope for a positive outcome never wavered. Bijan did not give up, but he succumbed on Monday, Aug. 5, at 5:37 p.m., according to coroner's spokesman Ed Winter.
The homicide count in Los Angeles County to date is 349.
Since 2007 to 2013 there have been 3,622 homicides by gunshots, according to statistics chronicled by the Los Angeles Times.
An estimated 1,574 Blacks have been victims of homicides since 2007, but the 18-year olds have been the victims of homicides more than any other age category.
The report reveals that an astonishing 240 individuals in the 18-year old category have died since 2007. Seventeen-year-old victims tally at 174 during that time span.
Alarmingly, more homicides occurred on Sunday during that time period at 927 than any other day. Next was Saturday at 864, Monday at 669 and Friday at 624.
The suspect or suspects responsible for the murder of Bijan Michael Shoushtari is still at large as we went to print.
The family is praying that he or she will be brought to justice.
As I was leaving the service for Bijan, a man standing in the storefront on west Jefferson asked me. "Who was that young man?"
That young man was Bijan Michael Shoushtari, a hero, a prince, a son, a brother, a cousin, a nephew, a teammate, a friend, a boyfriend, and a child of God, and thanks to the Los Angeles City Fire Department an honorary fireman! And, damn it, we are going to miss him…
Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD criminal gang homicide division at (213) 485-1383. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

Hugh Laurie will hang up his cane as cranky doctor Gregory House in May (12) after confirming hit medical drama House will end this season.
The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party
In a joint statement from Laurie and executive producers of the show David Shore and Katie Jacobs, released to the media on Wednesday (08Feb12),the trio announced House will not be back for a ninth season.
The press release reads, "The decision to end the show now, or ever, isa painful one, as it risks putting asunder hundreds of close friendshipsthat have developed over the last eight years - but also because the show itself has been a source of great pride to everyone involved.
"The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party.
How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air".
And the end of the show could be the end of Laurie's acting career - he suggested he'd turn his attentions to music and directing when the series went off air during a candid interview in November (11). The British funnyman and actor has won two Best Actor Golden Globes forhis performance as Dr House.

Director: Hal Needham
Plot: In the film that dragged the shotgun marriage of rock and wrestling onto the big screen in the most perfunctory manner imaginable, sentient Ken Doll Dirk Benedict, truly the Bradley Cooper of the '80s, plays a smiling man with all the accoutrements of professional ambition in the Reagan-era: blindingly slick hair, a cigar to chomp at opportune moments, a football-sized portable telephone (fancy!) and a never-ending line of slick patter.
When Benedict's heat in the music industry cools, he stumbles into a new sideline when he poaches wrestler Roddy Piper from apoplectic manager Captain Lou Albano. Albano, playing himself alongside a fair number of other real-life wrestling luminaries, dominates the local wrestling scene, so Benedict is forced to look for new venues for his acts to play. In a fit of inspiration, Benedict decides to cross-pollinate sub-mediocrity by pairing the forgettable pop-rock sounds of the band Kicks with the lazily choreographed, indifferently executed grappling action of Benedict's stable of steroid abusers.
The wrestling milieu gives the film what little excuse it needs to pad its running time with sequences indistinguishable from the kind of filler you'd find on World Wrestling Federation matches at the time: fights, shouting matches, the whole nine. This clip occupies some sad netherworld between the arch-theatricality of WWF and conventional bad film acting. Wrestling acting is like porn acting: It doesn't have to be good, merely functional. It only has to get the action from one place to another. Even by those standards, the acting here fails.
Benedict intermittently chomps his cigar in a slightly less aggressive fashion to convey his character's spiritual growth. At first it was all about money, but Benedict ultimately wants to do the right thing, so when the tag-team duo he manages ends up climactically winning the championship, he uses his cut of the winnings to pay back Tanya Roberts, a love interest so arbitrary she could be forgiven for forgetting that she even appeared in the film. Benedict's fighters emerge victorious and the sacred marriage of rock and wrestling is officially and climactically consummated.
Key scenes:
After being assured he doesn't play any of that "new wave" crap, Benedict agrees to handle Piper without realizing that he's dealing with a wrestler rather than a musician. For a wheeler-dealer, Benedict cuts a mighty gullible figure.
Is it possible to make a wrestling movie without an appearance from Charles Nelson Reilly as the host of a popular wrestling talk show? Of course it is. But why would anybody want to? Here, Benedict performs a delicate verbal dance where he tries to promote himself and his wrestlers without calling undue attention to the unfortunately size-conscious Billy Barty's height or unnecessarily antagonizing the eternally excitable Albano.
At a fundraiser for a politician so unpopular the host for his event is heckled, Benedict disappoints a rapt crowd that is expecting performances from "Frank", "Barbra" and "Julio" but are instead treated to a performance by the band Kicks. (Benedict represents them, you know!)
Can easily be distinguished by: It is the only place to see Freddie Blassie awkwardly attempting to dance to the music of Kicks.
Sign that it was made in 1986: The Captain Lou Albano-fueled rock-wrestling movement dates this very precisely as a product of the mid-'80s. Just about the only place the rock/wrestling paradigm persists is in the iconography and mythology of the wrestling-obsessed Insane Clown Posse.
Timeless message: When a smiling, big-talking show-business smoothie promises to have "Frank" and "Barbra" and "Julio" play your political fundraiser, make sure they're referencing the iconic musicians synonymous with those first names and not members of the band Kicks.
Memorable quotes: Nothing captures the film's sensibility better than a synth-pop theme song with lyrics like, "Body Slam/Take me to the limit if you can!"
