S. Karpen & Bros. Furniture Exhibition – Russell Senate Office Building
Emily Rose, a Karpen descendent and author, tipped me off that there is a special exhibition going on featuring furniture from the S. Karpen & Bros. furniture manufacturing company at the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. The exhibition will continue through September 5th, 2009.
Apparently, a fair amount of this furniture trickled out in private hands as the office's inhabitants availed themselves of the furniture over the years. Now the Senate wants it back for the building's 100th birthday. Senate Associate Curator Melinda Smith said that she might make up a wanted poster to help people identify the furniture needed for return. I've decided to make one for her and start the process.
I've also included a pamphlet from the Senate documenting the history of the furniture.

LOL @ wanted poster however, as D.C. is my home town, i think a bribe/reward poster with $$$$ attached may get better results.
September - September 24, 2009
I came across your site on google. I recently bought a chair at an estate sale. I had no idea what it was I just liked it. There is a tag attached to the rear leg that is old and it says "Karpen Gauranteed Upholstered Furniture". I haven't been able to find a picture of a similar chair. This chair looks like Mahogany and it is an arm chair that has a rounded back to it that looks like something that would be in an office. It is nice and Im wondering if you would know how I can find out what it is worth or who might be interested in purchasing it. I really think it could be one of the missing chairs from the Senate. Thank you very much for your time.

Coventry High School, recently recognized as a "School of Promise" by the Ohio Department of Education, has been congratulated for its high academic achievement.
Coventry High School, recently recognized as a "School of Promise" by the Ohio Department of Education, has been congratulated for its high academic achievement.
"(To qualify for the award) you have to have at least 40 percent of your students on the free or reduced lunch program," Superintendent Rusty Chaboudy said. "In our high school, it's about 45 percent right now."
According to the Ohio Department of Education, these students must meet the 75 percent proficiency mark to achieve this award, which is tough for many low-income high schools. But, with the help of the community, teachers, and students, Coventry High School has been able to meet these requirements.
"I think our high school teachers do a great job of individualizing instruction as much as they can," Chaboudy said. "To me, that's the whole key. So the more individual attention they can give to a student, the better that student is going to do. And I think that's something our high school teachers do very well."
Allison Cooper, a sophomore at Coventry High Schools also praises the teachers for their creative teaching methods and their caring attitudes.
"I give props to the teachers because they make learning fun. They know how to keep us interested. Our school wouldn't be so accelerated in our academics if the teachers weren't so involved with our learning experiences." Cooper said. "The teachers care a lot about us. They are glad to help students with problems inside and outside of school."
Kim Milinkovich, an English teacher who has worked with Coventry High School for 20 years said the award is indicative of how much the teachers achieve.
"This award is a great accomplishment for CHS because we are always doing more and more with less and less," Milinkovich said. "I feel our students get a good education that makes them ready for both college and careers of (the) 21st century."
Milinkovich lso gives credit to the community for being so active within the school.
One of the ways the community showed its support was through the passage of recentl levy that will allow for the construction of a new high school building. The new school will help the students and teacher academically and financially.
"Now, we have an opportunity to have the same facilities that (students and teachers) need for a 21st century learning environment," Chaboudy said, "and that was probably the hardest thing explaining to people why a 1920 building just doesn't make it for kids anymore."
All three Coventry schools will be located within a short distance of each other, allowing them to save money on bussing, and invest on other expenditures, further helping Coventry High School.
The new Coventry High School is expected to be finished during the 2016-2017 school year. Meanwhile, teachers, students and community members continue to work towards bettering test scores and creating higher standards within Coventry High School.
The "district is really moving in a positive way," Chaboudy said, noting that the "School of Promise" recognition is an example of how Coventry is moving forward.

DELAND, Fla. _ They don't know which team it will be. They don't know when the game will be played.
The only certain thing right now is that the Lipscomb Bisons will be playing for their first ever Atlantic Sun Baseball Championship.
The Bisons, the No. 1 seed, beat Gardner-Webb, the No. 4-seed, 8-2 Saturday afternoon here at Melching Field at Conrad Park. It was the first tournament loss for Gardner-Webb.
Who the Bisons will play and when are both unknown at this point. Belmont and Gardner-Webb were scheduled to play at 2 Saturday. If Belmont wins that game then they will meet the Bisons Saturday night at 6 CDT for the championship and the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
However, if Gardner-Webb beats Belmont the championship game would be delayed until Sunday. NCAA rules will not allow a baseball team to play three games in one day.
If the Bisons win the tournament championship they would be the first No. 1 seed to accomplish that feat since UCF did it in 2002. They are just the third team under the six-team format adopted in 1996 to advance to Championship Saturday in only their second tournament appearance. The others are Florida Atlantic and Troy, both former members of the conference.
The Bisons struck first in the second inning with one run. With one out designated hitter Justin Sanders singled to left center. Right fielder Shane Simpkins reached on a fielder's choice that moved Sanders to second. After first baseman Ryan Wilkins lined out to left, third baseman Branden Cadavid singled up the middle to send Sanders home.
In the fourth the Bisons twice loaded the bases, scoring two runs. Sanders opened with a single up the middle to center field. He advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Simpkins. Wilkins walked and Cadavid struck out. Second baseman Ben Williams walked to load the bases. Shortstop Jorge Gutierrez walked to bring in Sanders. Center fielder Allen Bolden singled to first base as Wilkins scored.
Gardner-Webb answered with one run in the bottom of the fourth and another in the fifth.
Sanders slammed a 345-foot home run over the right field fence in the bottom of the fifth. Also scoring on the round-tripper was Caleb Joseph who drove a line drive into center for a single.
In the eighth Ryan Wilkins blasted a solo home run that traveled an estimated 425 feet over the center field fence. Prior to giving up the round-tripper Gardner-Webb pitcher
Joseph hit the Bisons third home run of the game with a 335-foot shot to left field in the ninth inning that also brought home Bolden who had walked with one out.. It was the 16th home run of the season for Joseph, moving him back into a tie for second place in the A-Sun.
Right-hander Josh Smith started on the mound for the Bisons, winning his third game of the season against three losses. He pitched seven complete innings and gave up seven hits. He struck out three and walked four.
Right-hander Chris Burnett opened the eighth inning for the Bisons, his second appearance in the tournament. He gave up two hits and no runs in two innings. He also struck out one batter.
The Bisons are 31-28. Gardner-Webb slipped to 28-29.

UCLA Anderson's annual Alumni Weekend and Reunions has evolved from a "should I or shouldn't I" event to a "can't miss opportunity" to meet old friends, re-establish academic connections and do some serious career networking. This year, more than 500 alumni – both from reunions and non-reunion years – descended on UCLA Anderson. Many former "GSM" students who were seeing the modern complex for the very first time, returned to the classroom to hear fascinating discussions from faculty and other experts and to dine and drink with classmates and fellow graduates.
The reunions (this time for the classes of '77, '82, '87, '92, '97) serve as a prime fundraiser for UCLA Anderson. This year the five reunion classes raised more than $925,000 by "the Weekend" (with fundraising continuing through June 2003). Viewed in perspective, that figure represents a $700,000 increase in just five years. "We really demonstrated how important it is to give back to UCLA Anderson, we raised the bar," said Christine Solomon ('92), who served as reunion gift chair for her class. "My classmates decided that this was a chance to step up and make a philanthropic statement. We spent a lot of time educating people on the importance of giving back and reconnecting with fellow alumni from all around the world. This is an important forum to create future opportunities for those at UCLA Anderson."
In its present format, Alumni Weekend combines a one-and-a-half day conference tailored to address graduated from all years, with the reunions. The result is part practical and part party, the perfect blend for both audiences. "We wanted to offer all alumni a chance to reestablish ties with the school," said Jill Hisey, (FEMBA '95), UCLA Anderson's interim director for alumni relations. "We also sought to create an event with real and tangible value that went beyond simply meeting old friends, though there is a lot to be said for meeting old friends." Beginning bright and early with breakfast on Friday, November 1 and continuing through lunch on Saturday, both days consisted of a series of lectures and panel discussions from faculty and "real world" business practitioners. Topics ranged from The New Reality of Business Accountability to The Information Economy from a Macro and Micro Level to Career Management in the New Market Dynamic. Keynote speaker Eric Doctorow ('77), president, Worldwide Home Entertainment Motion Picture Group, Paramount Pictures, delighted a standing-room-only lunch crowd with a talk called "I Finally Became an Expert and Everything Changed." "The whole event was well-organized with a good diversity of topics," said one attendee. "I really liked the pairing of individuals within academics and industry." The attendance at the Alumni Weekend Conference was an even mix of reunion and non-reunion years.
Evenings were devoted to socializing and networking. A Friday night reception was held in the courtyard with more than 450 alumni in attendance; for many this was the first time they had attended a "beer bust" that wasn't on the roof of the old GSM library. Saturday night the reunion classes continued another UCLA Anderson tradition with their class dinners. In a break from tradition, however, all of the dinners were held in the UCLA Anderson complex, instead of at different restaurants around town. "We know that the attendees want some 'private time' with just their classmates," said Hisey. "But having the dinners on campus at the same time created a unique sense of community for everyone who was there." Regina Regazzi ('97), who flew in from New York City to attend, concurred. "The goal was not to bring people in to 'see L.A. and party at the Roxy.' The goal is to bring people together. I've never seen the dining room as packed as it was during our dinner."
"It was a near religious experience," she said, laughing, while trying not to be sacrilegious. "For me the purpose was to get together with people I hadn't seen in awhile and that was great. It was also great to watch others interact and reestablish relationships. The Monday after [the reunion] you could feel the love from around the world, reading all the e-mail that arrived. It was a reminder of why you chose UCLA Anderson and a great reminder that we are a family."

Call me paranoid, but I don't like the idea of a Cadbury Cream Egg security model (hard outer shell, soft gooey center). I won't say more, 'cuz I feel like I've had this discussion before. Upgrade it, man. Once, when I was bored, I installed apt-rpm on a RH8 machine to see what dist-upgrade looked like in the land of the Red Hat.

FC is far from laughable as a cluster distro. What I'd like to see is an interested party which would implement a good, long term security management program for FC(2n+b) releases.

We have been working hard during the last months in making Panoramio more stable and reliable for our photo community to continue sharing and enjoying photos of the world.
From today and during a couple of days we need to put Panoramio in read-only mode to make those changes available and it is for this reason that while Panoramio is still accessible, some actions such as uploading a photo will not be available.
The following message will display in Panoramio:
"Panoramio is undergoing maintenance. During this time, it is not possible to change any information in Panoramio, such as writing a comment, uploading a photo, or changing your description in the profile"
We expect this to be completed by Thursday, but it may last until Friday when Panoramio will again be fully functional.
While this maintenance tasks are running, we want to thank you for your understanding. Photo processing is not a fast task, so we hope you enjoy these couple of days processing your photos and making them ready for our return.
Update 26th Oct: Maintenance is finished and the site is back to normal state. If there are some problems please report them in this forum post. Many thanks again for the patience while we worked on this maintenance tasks that are needed to keep the site in healthy state.

African researchers may now apply for funding to build genomic research facilities and expertise and to conduct genomic studies in Africa. The grants are part of the Human Heredity and Health in Africa project, or H3Africa, which is intended to enhance the ability of African scientists to use cutting-edge research approaches to the study of diseases of importance in Africa and around the world.
H3Africa is a partnership with The Wellcome Trust a global charity based in London, and the African Society of Human Genetics. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to contribute about $53 million over the next five years to H3Africa, $37.25 million from the NIH Common Fund and $15.75 million from individual Institutes. The Wellcome Trust is contributing $12 million to the effort over a similar time period.
All humans trace their ancestry to Africa, the continent where humans first evolved. Many previous studies, including the International HapMap Project, have shown that African populations have the greatest amount of genetic variability. Genetic differences in individuals have been shown to affect many features of humans, including the risk of developing different diseases. African populations have been notably underrepresented in genetics- and genomics-based disease studies, so by expanding the range of people being studied, researchers expect to learn a great deal about the genetic roots of diseases that afflict Africans and people across the globe.
"In H3Africa, African scientists will study the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to both infectious diseases like tuberculosis and common diseases such as diabetes and hypertension," said Jane Peterson, H3Africa project director and associate director of the Division of Extramural Research at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). NHGRI manages H3Africa on behalf of the NIH Common Fund.
"With H3Africa's support, Africans will build the capacity for African researchers to study African populations to solve African problems," said Charles N. Rotimi, Ph.D., M.P.H., president of the African Society of Human Genetics, Dr. Rotimi is also director of the Center for Research on Genomics and Global Health, and intramural laboratory at the National Human Genome Research Institute.
NIH plans to issue another RFA in the near future to support up to four biorepository feasibility studies for two years to lay the foundation for an H3Africa biorepository. In addition, there will be a small-grant program RFA issued in fiscal year 2012 and funded in fiscal year 2013, to support research on the societal implications of genomics in Africa.
Both the NIH and Wellcome Trust research programs were based on recommendations in a white paper written by an H3Africa working group that focused on improving the capacity for genomics research in Africa to study communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series

|8 May 2009 (Star Trek)

The 11th Star Trek film, titled only Star Trek, was released in May 2009 and follows the youthful adventures of the main original series characters during their time at Starfleet Academy. The film has an almost entirely new cast: the only original castmember to appear is Leonard Nimoy. The movie takes place in an alternate timeline, and does not affect the preexisting Star Trek canon during the TOS era, though the destruction of Romulus and the older Spock's travel to the alternate timeline do impact the non-reboot Trek universe after that point in time.
The new movieverse fandom (variously known as Star Trek XI, Star Trek Reboot, or AOS[1]) took off rapidly after the film's release, attracting both fans of the original series and people new to the franchise.
Unfortunately, the second film in the reboot series was not as well received, and even from the first film there have been criticisms regarding JJ Abrams in particular. However, Star Trek fandom is hard to kill, and as of 2016 the fandom continues.
Star Trek Beyond was released in 2016 with better reception.
Kirk/Spock is the most popular pairing in Star Trek: The Original Series, and a classic slash pairing. Kirk/Spock is also the most popular in the movieverse fandom, although it doesn't dominate the fandom. Traditionally, name order in pairings is determined by rank, with Kirk/Spock being shortened to K/S. Some movieverse fans have embraced portmanteaux such as "Spirk" and "Kock." [2]
Kirk/McCoy is another popular slash ship. (The Kirk/McCoy ship comm on LJ has just over 2300 members as of July 2010, slightly less than kirkspock, both of which are open to TOS as well as XI in principle). Sulu/Chekov also has a small but active fandom. (just over 800 members in the main LJ comm in July 2010)
The most popular het ship is Spock/Uhura. While some fans noted flirtatious moments between Spock and Uhura in TOS[3], a romantic relationship is new, and unique to the movie's canon. The Spock/Uhura Shippers community is highly active, with more than 1000 members in May 2009, rising to over 1900 members by July 2010.
However, many of the most active communities are open for all pairings as well as gen such as the st_reboot LJ Comm (over 2500 members in July 2010) or the very popular first Reboot kink meme community st_xi_kink [2] that ran for fifteen rounds (closed October 2009), and was replaced by st_xi_kink_meme[3] which ran for twelve rounds til January 2011.
The third movie, Star Trek: Beyond, presented Sulu as having a male partner, Ben, and a young daughter.
Fans started creating fanworks almost immediately after the film's release. An ezine Universal Constant was released in January 2011.

While many TOS fans welcomed newcomers, others regard movieverse fans with dislike. [4] [5] In the months following the movie's release, members of some TOS discussion lists debated the place of reboot in long-standing fandoms such as K/S, with some lists, such as KirkSpockCentral on Yahoo choosing to remain focused on TOS, stating that 'reboot' K/S is regarded as an entirely different fandom, while others such as Kirk-and-Spock on Yahoo and kirkspock on LJ opened their doors to all incarnations of K/S (TOS, TAS and AOS).
When the film came out in 2009, Uhura was been heavily criticized by some segments of fandom. Some fans feel that Uhura is nothing more than "The Girl," and serves no purpose outside of her romance with Spock. Other fans claim that Uhura is nothing more than a Mary Sue (some people having gone so far as to call her a "whore"). [6] [7] [8] However, Rawles pointed out that the "reduced to The Girlfriend" interpretation ignores the fact that "Nyota Uhura is not a white girl"; during (but not limited to) the era of the original show's run, black women were not seen as legitimate objects of romantic interest, so Uhura's relationship with Spock represents a step forward.[9]
The SEE controversy
There has been conflict between the slash shippers, those who ship Kirk/Spock vs Kirk/McCoy or Spock/Uhura. With the former, the movie had built Kirk and McCoy as best friends that many new fans caught the subtext and made them become a popular ship. With the latter, Spock is in a canon relationship with Uhura (leaving out Kirk).
After the movie came out an online petition was created to promote LGBT issues by pushing for a gay couple in the next movie. The petition is called "Social Equality Effort"(SEE)[10][11].
The idea seemingly came out from a thread in one of the main star trek fanboards over the fanfiction.net site in which some dedicated K/S fans, upon reading a popular K/S slash fanfiction ("Home"), decided to take some action in attempt to convince the writers of the potential of a gay relationship between K/S in the next movies. [4]. The online petition, that was originally supposed to be called "K/S Mainstream Effort" was in fact named "The Social Equality Effort" instead.
Initially focused on the inclusion of a same-sex relationship, the petition soon started to be perceived by the fans (including many slash fans) and many members of the LGBT community itself as an ill disguised attempt to make Kirk/Spock canon. Many raised concerns about the petition as it asked to break up an interracial couple (Spock/Uhura) that is already canon just to pair Spock with Kirk even though the writers could include other gay relationships/characters without having to sacrifice an existing canon pair. [12], [13], [14], [15]
"Instead of getting racism activists on board, we are forcing them to choose between supporting an interracial (and yes, also interspecies) relationship and supporting a gay one. Are we really going to make people choose? Uhura is an important character, not only by being a person of colour but also one of the few main female characters, and how other characters interact with her is also important" - A K/S fan that disagreed with the petition[15].
On July 24, 2009 It was decided to change the focus of the campaign away from specifically Kirk/Spock due to all of this criticism.[16] The result is that the petition itself was re-worded. However, most of the comments on the site left by the people that signed the petition still specifically ask for Kirk/Spock only.

Generalising The Pattern Rule For Visual Growth Patterns: Actions That Support 8 Year Olds' Thinking
Key points:
- This article is full of ideas to support my action research with children when the time comes. I intend to use some of the ideas within to help structure my input and form the base and review tasks.
- This article also grabs me as it contains citations of other authors I have read so far – not necessarily the same articles/sources as the Kaput writing I have read is a later date than this article, however the 2008 Kaput source seems to be a development of the 2001 piece used here. These connections confirm to me that my thinking and research is along the right lines and hasn't been as unfocussed as I first feared.
- "Difficulties occur with adolescent students stem from a lack of early experiences in the elementary school" – relates to functional thinking and how students find it difficult to spot generalisations easily. They lack apporpriate language to describe what's happening, generally focus on a single data set rather than comparing information and have "an inabilty to visualise spatially or complete patterns." (Warren, 2000). The researchers found that children had limited experience with visual growth patterns and had rarely used arithmetic for anything other than finding answers.
- It continues to state that recording data in a table inhibited the children's thinking, encouraging "single variational thinking, finding relationships along the sequence of numbers instead of find the relationship between the pairs." … "The patterns chosen here were those where links between the pattern and its position were visually explicit…to focus in particular on the relationship between the position number and the pattern." The article gives examples of the patterns used (shown below) and describes the aims of the questions in detail.

The Knowledge I Didn't Want
The Long and Ever-Troubled Road
May 3, 2013
It's been a little while since I've been writing. The reasons are very important and needed to sustain good health in mind, body and spirit.
Fighting Holiday Blues and Family Challenges
December 24, 2012
The past 3 weeks have been an awful time for me. I have been fighting depression, and trying to get back home where I belong. I have been slowly descending into drinking to fight the depression, which also led my wife into kicking me out of our home.
People Are More Terrifying Than HIV/AIDS
October 23, 2012
Just recently I went to a doctor's appointment. As I was going through the doors, I noticed a very familiar face. I was so stunned all I could say was, "What are you doing here?" Yeah, just like we were at a store.
Don't Think You Can't Learn More About HIV
September 21, 2012
When I came to this site I wasn't as knowledgeable about much of anything involving HIV/AIDS; I wasn't sure what the numbers meant, much less how they affected my health. I was more worried and was just looking to be able to make some sense of what I was facing, and find out how much more I was going to fall apart. I hadn't realized yet that having HIV wasn't going to kill me as I thought it would. After all, when I was a younger man the whole issue wasn't if it would kill you, but how long you had to live with it before it eventually did.
And Then I Found TheBody.com
August 3, 2012
I was surfing the web to find out some information about HIV/AIDS to better handle and cope with my diagnosis, and I stumbled upon this site. Funny how, not actually knowing what it was I was in search of, finding this site was find of all finds. Even though I was already learning things from my doctors, there were issues on the site that stirred my senses.
Now I Have to Keep Living
May 31, 2012
I came out of the hospital after finding out how Sustiva could affect a person mentally, and once all the medications were corrected I started to feel better. I was so glad to be back home with my wife and children; being away was trying to me mentally. Not to mention the hospital food isn't fine dining.
Now for More on My Learning
May 10, 2012
I had to have contracted HIV through a previous relationship; I had back then been with many young ladies, and it was the unfulfilling life that helped me decide to settle down and start a family. Through the starting of a family I really thought I was doing the right thing and didn't think any STD would ever effect me; I could have never been further from reality. Then again was it the homemade tattoos, needles that weren't cleaned properly?
When Life Gives Us Lemons, Make Some Orange Juice
April 25, 2012
Given the pest in our blood (lemons), we have to take many different medications. Thanks to this we are able to survive, and some are able to continue on in life without hesitation. Then there are those who aren't or weren't as fortunate. At least we can put these pills into our blood and make it turn into orange juice, the very reason we are able to continue on our paths in life or blaze new ones.
The Knowledge I Didn't Want
I'm a 44-year-old married male. I have a wife and four children; all but myself are HIV negative. Learning an alarming amount about medical issues and how to deal with them. How I'm trudging along is slow, but forever onward. Sometimes still, but not yet so forever. Learning about growing with HIV, both mentally and physically.

Annual Christmas Craft Party ( & bonus pics!)
This is my cute little nephew CW decorating a gingerbread man. I set up a "decorate-your-own-gingerbread-man" station at our party last year and it was so fun. It's great because it feels crafty AND it tastes good. I don't know the exact number, but I swear to you, CW ate at least 10 of these babies, all loaded up with frosting. Quite possibly, the number was closer to 15.
I made these "Softly Spiced Nuts" from "Eat Drink & Be Vegan." I am really loving that cookbook. I love Dreena's recipes. I love that you can always rely on them to be health-sensible AND delicious. These nuts were a big hit!
I got that pretty tablecloth on sale for only $10! It's not very Christmasy, but it's what we've got. I guess it'll be a bit more sensible for Easter.
Here you see some of the "Maple Walnut Cookies" from "Vive Le Vegan." I love these cookies, and apparently I am not alone. These were, hands down, THE hit of the party! Everyone was talking about them. There are also some Candy Cane Joe-Joes from Trader Joes, and some spice drops. As long as you are not a stickler for refined sugar, these spice drops are vegan. I must confess to really loving them. Here is an admission I don't hear often from other vegans: one of the hardest things for me to sacrifice when I became vegan was gummy candy. Especially those lovely Haribo brand candies - gummy bears and coke bottles, cherries,... I have tried the vegan ones and they are so lacking in both flavor and texture that I don't even bother. Three things that are vegan, for which I am so grateful, and which help prevented me from falling "off the wagon" as a new vegan: Hot Tamales, Swedish Fish, and Spice Drops. Mmm.
Here's a close up of the cookies on their own. Please make these if you haven't yet.
I made a big batch of the Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Seed Rice Paper Rolls from "Veganomicon." I just made these last week, and they are perfect party food. These were also hugely popular and were gone by the end of the party. I think Musty would have eaten the whole platter on his own if I hadn't intervened!
My ever-amazing friend Kristy showed up with a stunning & delicious focaccia-like bread called "Roman Bread." Wow. And look at that classy presentation. Honestly... so classy! I really admire that she takes the little bit of extra care and time to make such a nice impression. She is a great cook & she has been so sweet about experimenting with some vegan baking. You're awesome Kristy!
Here's the giant platter of ggbread men... and some of the decorating supplies - silver balls, red hots, star mints... and of course there was frosting too - red, green, white, and blue. This recipe is from "The Joy of Cooking," easily veganized.
You gotta have hummus, or ain't a vegan party! I made the "White Bean Hummus with Fresh Basil & Thyme" from ED&BV. Mmm. Very nice. This was served with cut up carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and celery. Also some sliced baguette. All the hummus and all the veggies were gone by the end of the evening!
I also made the delicious and unique "Chickpea Curry Hummus with Pappadam" from ED&BV. I loved this stuff! You'll see that I left out the raisins. Somehow I wasn't in the mood for the savory-sweet combo. I guess because there was so much other sweet stuff on the table. I easily found pappadam crackers at my health food store. Mmm... I love those babies! I got the cracked pepper variety, which are so good.
The party lasted until 6:00, and I knew I'd be tired and hungry toward the end. Plus, I knew my family would be over and that they would be hungry too. So in the afternoon, before the party started, I made up a batch of the "Coconut-Cocoa Chili" from ED&BV. Another good recipe. I even forgot to add the lime and tabasco (oops) and it was still delicious. We all enjoyed it, and there's enough left for one or two more bowls.
Even though I have a cold today (lame!), it was a great little party. I liked having a smaller & more managable size.
Lucky me! I got to meet the delightful Melisser last week. We met up halfway between Santa Cruz & San Francisco - at the frozen yogurt spot in Palo Alto that serves vegan frozen yogurt! Mmm. We both got the same thing: vegan soy frozen yogurt with strawberries & chocolate shavings for toppings. Their frozen yogurt is really nice, it's not actually that sweet - it tastes more like actual yogurt, with a little bit of tang. I like it. I snapped this cute picture of Melisser photographing the side-by-side treats.
Last week I finally got around to making a very nice recipe that I've had my eye on for a while. This is the "Cranberry Orange Tart" from "Voluptuous Vegan." Wow! This baby is really great! And, shockingly beautiful. It's got a lot of maple syrup in it, so if you have maple syrup financial constraints that could be a problem. I really love the giant bottle of Grade B maple syrup at Trader Joes for only$8.00. Way to go TJs! It's got a great crust... you toast the flour first and it gives the crust such a lovely nutty flavor. Then there's a fine layer of almond butter on the crust, topped with this stunning cranberry goodness. I think I will make this again for Christmas. Even Musty, who doesn't even like cranberry sauce (freak!), loved it.
Okay, one more ED&BV recipe. I could feel the onset of my cold yesterday... and wanted something healthy and warm for dinner. I made the "Lemongrass Coconut Corn Stew" (not sure of the exact name... and I'm too lazy to get up and look. This was a **great** recipe. I really recommend it very highly. It was so good. At Musty's fine suggestion, I added some silken tofu in, which was wonderful.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Judging from the 3-mile-long line at the Trader Joe's yesterday, lots of people are enjoying some holiday parties this weekend!

I can personally attest that this was a great party and the food was ultra-tasty. Amey did a fantastic job even though she was coming down with a cold, and would probably have preferred to just curl up in bed.ReplyDelete
In addition to the varied and tempting food table, this event was made special by the cozy gathering of family and friends, ranging from age 3 to 92, and the wonderful array of holiday craft project that were cranked out -- make-a-plates, decorated styrofoam balls, paper snowflakes, crafty hand-stiched ornaments, and wacky glittery creations that defy description.
Thank you Amey!
First of all, it was GREAT meeting you & thank you again for the awesome grape jelly.ReplyDelete
What a fun party! I attended one with a "Make Your Own Gingerbread" & it quickly got X-rated!
It sounds like I need ED&BV! It's on my Xmas list!
what a fun time!ReplyDelete
Looks like you had a fun and yummy time. I am stoked on your cranberry pie...can I get that recipe online anywhere? My sister found out she is allergic to dairy, eggs and wheat so I want to make a dessert at Christmas that she can eat. Oh shoot the crust probably has wheat in it. Any alternatives? Hello to Musty and the critters. Lots of love, CareyReplyDelete
Your Christmas Craft Party looks like it was a lot of fun!! I love crafting (and "decorate-your-own-gingerbread-man" stations, haha), so that is DEFINITELY my kind of party :0)ReplyDelete
mmm, the softly-spiced-nuts (I'm OBSESSED with the ED&BV cookbook, as evidenced on my blog), maple-walnut cookies (they're already on my ever-expanding list of baked goods to make!), Coconut-Cocoa Chili (so intriguing), and the hummuses look quite delicious; and I had no idea that spice drops, hot tamales, and swedish fish were vegan? cool! and I've heard that those candy-cane joe-joes are quite addictive... I better stay clear, haha :0)
glad to see those rice-paper rolls making another appearance on your blog - no surprise that they were a hit! and wow, Kristy's "Roman Bread," as well as your cranberry-orange tart and the lemongrass-coconut-corn stew, look/sound terrific as well!!
ahh so great that you got to meet Melisser - I love reading about my fellow bloggers meeting!!
oh and thank you for visiting my blog!! I have been following YOUR blog for quite some time now, and I will continue to do so - I love it!! :0)
Such a great post, filled with so many happy (and inspirational) things! I love your annual craft party (I remember reading about it on your blog last year), it just seems like such a fun thing this time of year. I love that shot of the gingerbread men (and the little ginger babies!), the Roman bread looks stunningly packaged, and of course all the ED&BV recipes sound divine.ReplyDelete
And how cool that you got to meet Melisser AND indulge in vegan frozen yogurt- a winning combination in my book!
In one week, I'll be near a Trader Joe's... and then the Joe-Joe's frenzy shall begin!
Enjoy your Christmas/holiday time, Amey!
Feel better soon! All the food looks great, and that's a fantastic idea for a party. Decorate your own cookies, I love it!ReplyDelete
Holy cow that is an awful lot of cooking, and all of it sounds and looks fantastic. There are so many recipes that I now can't wait to try, specifically the hummus ones.ReplyDelete
Your party sounds like a lot of fun, but I have to wonder, if you scaled back this year, what is it usually like? Oh, one more thing - next year, can I come?
I remember your party from last year - such a fun event for you to host! I can't wait to make the coco chili and the Indian hummus. And I had just a bookmarked a recipe somewhere for a cranberry orange tart. Yours looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
Get better soon, Amey!
Wow, that's all a lot of food... It all looks so nummy.ReplyDelete
Have you ever had sour patch candies? They aren't quite the same as gummie candies, but they are close. If you don't care about high fructose and all that junk, sour patch is an 'accidentally vegan' product. Of course, you have to be a fan of sour candies to enjoy.
And do I see tiny, little gingerbread men mixed in with the big ones, or are my eyes playing tricks on me? ;)
Oh my goodness, what an awesome party you hosted! CW is too cute and I can see myself at his age doing the same thing and never leaving that table. I just love the idea of the decorate a gingerbread man station.ReplyDelete
I don't have Veganomnicon yet, but those rice paper rolls are doing a good job of really making me want to go buy the book today!
Luckily I do have EDBV and I've already made quite a few recipes. I also loved the curry hummus and the Thai coconut corn stew. I've really gotta try the white bean hummus!
Oh and I was also lucky enough to meet Melisser! Isn't she great?
Feel better!
Vegan frozen yogurt?! Oh I am sooo jealous (but very glad that someone got to enjoy it, even if it wasn't me!).ReplyDelete
Oh wow, don't even know where to start! All the goodies for your craft party sound excellent. A party is definitely not a party without some hummus. I need to make that white bean one. Otherwise I will leave now drooling over vegan soft serve....ReplyDelete

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. —Philippians 2:5
Romans 8:32 tells us, "He who did not spare His own Son . . ." Consistently, the Bible message of God's love is, "Hey, you don't think God loves you? Look at what God did for you in His Son, Jesus Christ: "He [God] who did not spare His own Son . . ."
Question: Did not spare Him what? First, He did not spare Him humiliation. Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, Eternal God, Creator of the Universe, became a human being! He took on flesh and blood with all the limitations of a physical life. Philippians 2:6-8, says, "Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, (Why? Because He had it) but made himself of nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form . . ." God of the Universe in human form! God did not spare His son humiliation.
Second, God did not spare Christ degradation: the mocking, the spit, the laughter, the torture, the crown of thorns, heaped on the precious Son of God! God did not spare His Son the degradation of His atoning work.
And, of course, God did not spare His Son crucifixion. "He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death," Philippians 2:8 says, "even death on a cross"! Death on a cross was the most humiliating, torturous way for a person to die. Why did God not spare His own Son? Because He loves you, that's why.
Romans 8:31 tells us, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Do you want to know if God is really for you? He did not spare His own Son. He gave the best for the worst. He gave the highest for the lowest. He did the most (through Christ) for the least (you and me). That's what God did! And that is God's message of love to you and me! He did absolutely everything He could do to find you, and reach you, and forgive you. And that complete message is wrapped up in what He did Himself, in the person of His Son who came to the world at Christmas.
Prayer – Father, thank You for not sparing Your Son that I might become Your son or daughter by faith. Thank You for all You did, including Your unexpected arrival at Christmas. Help me to fully appreciate, marvel over, and relish Your matchless love for me. Help me set time aside in the hustle and bustle of Christmas to get lost in wonder and worship over Your great love for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Record Ribbon-Cutting For Jersey Shore [VIDEO]
Guinness World Records confirms that a ribbon-cutting to mark the reopening of the Jersey shore following Superstorm Sandy has set a new world record.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie cut a ribbon stretching for more than 5 ½ miles on Friday as part of ceremonies marking the arrival of Memorial Day weekend and the summer tourism season.
Mike Janela, an adjudicator with Guinness, says the ribbon bested the previous record by more than a mile in length.
The ribbon symbolically tied together several shore communities that were hard-hit by the Oct. 29 storm.
Christie appeared on the "Today" show to tell a national audience that the Jersey Shore is back in business and ready for visitors.

Like other retailers, Target is battling declining store traffic and consumers reluctant to spend, but in addition to those concerns, the company's data breach still has a lingering negative impact on its customer service and reputation scores.
In Cowen & Co.'s Consumer Tracking Survey, conducted quarterly and for the first time since Target's security breach news in mid-December, it found "meaningful decreases" in year-over-year customer satisfaction with both the total shopping experience and customer service in March. Satisfaction with the overall shopping experience at Target was down almost 2 percentage points in March, with declines "most acute" among middle-and-upper-income shoppers, analyst Faye Landes said, adding the higher-income shoppers are "key cohorts for Target" /quotes/zigman/253872/delayed /quotes/nls/tgt TGT and a group more likely to hold credit cards than lower-income shoppers.
The company's Red cards, which give shoppers a 5% discount on most purchases, are key to its strategy to compete against rivals led by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed /quotes/nls/wmt WMT
On customer service, Target's scores dropped 3.3 percentage points to 71% with the score among upper-income shoppers falling a "dramatic" 9 percentage points to 70%, the survey of 2,500 shoppers showed. It also found that customer satisfaction with Target's pricing, selection and product quality all declined from a year earlier.
"The obvious question is whether Target can regain the ground our survey indicates that it has lost with consumers," said Landes, who rates Target underperform. "The answer may be yes but it is not only a matter of time but rather will entail efforts on the communication, marketing and product fronts as well as in store service. It's apparent that significant issues linger."
She said the decline in customer service may not be just due to the credit breach, but could be related to Target's "ongoing efforts" to control expenses amid declines in traffic and sales.
Target's credit rating was cut by S&P last week, as the rating firm said it expects the data breach to hurt the company's traffic at least through the first half of the year.
Target spokeswoman Sarah VanNevel said the company is "taking extra steps" to win back shoppers. That includes providing limited-time deals like buy one and get one 50% off on swimwear and adding new merchandise including an upscale skincare collection. The company's stock in late February had its best day in five years after it gave investors some comfort and said its sales and traffic have started to recover from the security breach, which has affected up to 40 million card accounts.
However, despite the year-over-year drop, some other measures showed Target's reputation has indeed been recovering from its worst days.
Social analytics firm General Sentiment said sentiment surrounding Target on the web has returned to a positive 24 reading on average since March 15, compared with a positive 48 reading during the same period a year earlier.
In contrast, Target had a negative sentiment, at an average reading of minus 47, between Dec. 18 and Jan. 24 after the breach news. The reading was compiled from 1.65 million mentions across the web from Dec. 1 to April 1, General Sentiment said.
Separately, a YouGov BrandIndex measure of Target's customer-perception level showed the level has returned to positive territory since Valentine's Day and currently stood at a positive 12, meaning 12% more shoppers have a positive perception of the brand than those with negative perception. That compared with the reading of positive score of 25 to 30 on average before the breach. At its worst during the crisis, Target's perception score plunged to a low of negative 35 on Jan. 13, YouGov said.
Target's shares have gained 11% to $61.05 after declining to a 52-week closing low of $55.07 in February.

California Department of Transportation

District: 10 - Stockton
Contact: Angela DaPrato

$165 million will upgrade bridges, repair rough pavement,
and keep pavement in good condition from deteriorating
STOCKTON – Californians will be driving on smoother roads, safer bridges, and enjoying the benefits of enhanced transit thanks to $334 million in new funding allocated to 53 projects by the California Transportation Commission.
The allocations include approximately $165 million to repair bumpy pavement, preserve roads that are in good condition from worsening, and upgrade bridges to make them safer and stronger. Most of California's highways are more than a half-century old, and they carry nearly half of the nation's container freight – heavy loads that pound our highways more than any other state.
"To get the most bang for the buck for taxpayers, Caltrans targets dollars where they are most effective - pavement preservation," Dougherty said. "Every $1 spent on preventive pavement maintenance saves Californians $11 that would have been spent on future pavement repairs."
Currently, 84 percent, or 42,000 lane miles of California highways are in good operating condition. Caltrans' goal is to reach 90 percent by 2023, which is a challenge as funding is declining and highways are aging. In 2013, Caltrans repaired 76,808 potholes on the Golden State's 50,000 highway lane miles. This was down nearly 100,000 potholes from a few years prior due to Caltrans' repaving efforts.
The allocations also include $64 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $17 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.
The remaining funding allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
Some of the projects that received funding support include:
- Merced County: $2,215,000 – Interstate 5/State Route 152 Girder Retrofit Project near Los Banos. Crews will modify the existing cross frame members on two bridges.
- Tuolumne County: $1,213,000 – State Route 108 Slope Protection Project near Sonora, from the Old Wards Ferry Road Overcrossing to Twain Hart/Plainview Road. The project will achieve compliance with storm water management regulations and place rock slope protection (RSP) in order to stabilize roadway slopes, prevent discharge of sediments and pollutants into Sullivan Creek.
- San Joaquin County: $1,644,000 – State Route 12 Little Potato Slough Bridge Rehabilitation Project at Terminous. The project will replace elastomeric bearing pads and joint seal assemblies, reconstruct and upgrade bridge guardrail, and rehabilitate bridge approach slabs to restore the bridge's structural integrity.
- San Joaquin County: $517,000 – Interstate 5/State Route 120 Connector Rehabilitation Project in Lathrop. Crews will replace elastomeric bearing pads and joint seal assemblies.
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations.

'Rio' Flies Past 'Scream 4': $40 Million At Box Office Is Best Opening Of 2011!
Animated birds smack down the slasher squeal — and it's not even close!
The Scream 4 cast of Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Hayden Panettiere, Neve Campbell, Emma Roberts and Aimee Teegarden were no match for the tropical birds of Rio!
The cartoon about world's last two blue macaws — with the voices of Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway — got much more attention from movie fans on its opening weekend than the latest installment of the Scream series.
Rio took in $40 million, the movie world's biggest opening weekend of the year, continuing the trend of family-friendly movies leading the way for 2011. Scream 4 brought in only $19.3 million — far below what had been expected!
Hop, another animated family flick that had won the box-office race for the previous two weeks, was third this weekend at $11.2 million. Rio's opening even topped Rango, the animated feature starring Johnny Depp, which had been the year's biggest debut.
Tough economic times may mean that families that may not have enough cash for big vacations can afford a night out together at the movies — as long as there's a flick everyone will want to see!

Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge invites the public to an open house on Seahorse Key, Saturday, Feb. 2, from 1-4:30 p.m. Enhance your winter visit by getting outdoors into the spectacular Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge. Bring your camera, walk along the beach and enjoy the touch tanks and exhibits provided by University of Florida's Marine Research Lab.
The interior of Seahorse Key is normally closed to public entry, as are all posted refuge islands, so that birds and other wildlife are not disturbed. Annually, a 300-foot buffer is closed to all public access from March through June to provide more security for the rookery while mature birds nest and rear their young. This will be the last time to visit until July.
The lighthouse on Seahorse Key, atop the 54-foot tall dune, offers great perspective for wildlife photography. You'll see white pelicans, cormorants, common and snowy egrets flying. Eagles and osprey also visit throughout the day from their nearby nests.
Catch a tour boat from the city docks, rent a vessel, or take your own to Seahorse Key for an educational day with Dr. Jennifer Seavey. Enjoy the out of doors at the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, where wildlife comes first.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, of which the National Wildlife Refuge System is a part, is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people and their families.

"Participate" idea is to let the Egyptians or so-called "normal Egyptians" in different governorates to show how they are going to participate in the upcoming constitution referendum. True they are normal Egyptians but the reasons on why they are going to participate in the referendum have nothing to do with the Constitution !!! It is sad documentary when you hear simple Egyptians saying that they are going to vote for the draft constitution because "General El Sisi approves it" and "That it will bring stability" as well "welfare"
Unfortunately the constitution won't bring stability or welfare, nor it should be approved because the army's commander "who has not right to vote in the first place" likes it !!
It is sad documentary.
The documentary showed unfortunately how people do not understand the meaning of the constitution or its role and the media is celebrating this misunderstanding and sorry to say ignorance.Needless any authoritarian regime will not make any effort to make those understand the truth of the constitution and what would bring stability and welfare for real.
The short documentary is directed by Sandra Nashat.She directed before that video clip against the Constitution 1971 amendments in March 2011. Of course that campaign failed miserably. It is worth to mention that it was during the golden alliance between SCAF and Islamists.
Sandra Nashat is known for light romantic comedy and thriller films starring actors like Karim Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Ezz.
Some Pro-Revolutionary supporters compared Nashat to Leni Riefenstahl and Shark to the Triumph of the Well. First I highly doubt that Nashat heard about Riefenstahl or the Triumph of the Well for real and Shark actually is mediocre compared to one of the world's biggest propaganda documentaries in the modern times. Needless to say Riefenstahl was not celebrating ignorance of her people.
All the Pro-Mubarak/Pro-Military/Pro-Police State supporters online are cheering for Sandra's documentary for showing the real Egyptians that are ignored by the revolutionary media "where is the revolutionary media already now".
Unfortunately those supporters do not care for real about that class featured in this short documentary or their true demands and needs.
Professionally speaking this is a documentary to encourage people to say "Yes" in the Constitution for reasons other than the constitution and its articles and its proposes so actually it is a propaganda
Now speaking about propaganda , a young activist called Shady Hussein made this short clip which is actually a social experiment on how the media in Egypt uses the Yes-Yes persuasion technique in order to convince the people with certain message.
Ironically Hussein made this clip without knowing what Sandra Nashat did.
We will not deny that many people in Egypt are uneducated and sorry to say ignorant and unfortunately those people again and again are left in the dark because no authoritarian regime or police state likes truly educated people who know their rights. It is not about being poor or rich but about knowing your rights. One thing I blame the Cairo youth in it in those 3 years is that we did not spread the revolution principles and let the people know their rights in their rural areas.
Anyhow may be in 2015 we have another constitution or amendments and the same problems including poverty , terrorism and political still exist may be the people will know that the real role of constitution.
