the ability of the written word to transport the reader immediately is indeed a powerful vessel. the spark of an idea can happen in an instance with one sentence from an author whose message adheres itself on a cellular level, deeply impacting and changing the way the reader views people and the world around them. as a writer, i can only hope your passage with me is just as transformative. so from where i am to exactly where you are, i have a story i wish to share with you … one that cultivates ideas to empower a person for change.
on this site you will find previews from my books along with trailers, goodies and an occasional pondering. if you have any questions, drop me a line. if you wish to chat, start the discussion. if you want to change the world starting with your own life, pick up the hoe, get rid of the weeds, turn over the soil, and plant the seed. with some patience, attentiveness and a bit of pruning watch it—over time—blossom into the very thing you imagined.
love this . . . had to share.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love for your dreams for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful be realistic to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes."
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

This Blogger on "Square One" Awareness

Julie - I can totally relate! And now, you've inspired me to work on my autism awareness! I feel like I never do enough - but I think that's because I'm not targeting and/or organizing properly! Kudos to you! Question, did you move to Washington because of the schools for C1?

Thank you for your comment. I'm not all that organized, but I try to communicate about my son when it is necesarry or when the opportunity arises.
We moved to Washington from Michigan for my husband's new job. The economy in Michigan is at the bottom of the list in terms of how well states are doing and his job there was in jeapordy. Relatively speaking, Washington is in decent shape.

Julie, I have wanted to read this post for awhile but blogging kept getting pushed aside for other things. I love the term "Square One Awareness". It makes me think of something that has been a recurring thought recently. I'll try to explain it and this is my first attempt to put words to the thought. Sorry if this turns out lengthy.
Because of our great experience with peer buddies during the school year for S we decided to do a birthday party as it was last week after school was out. It turned out 3 (2 girls 1 boy) peer buddies were able to come. We also had 2 boys he knew from church for a total of 6 kids. So glad it wasn't more, it was just right. I had a visual schedule set up for what we would do and even involved Sam in letting him decide what should come first, second etc.
The party was so smooth, no transition issues from one to another activity. His peer buddies were right at home and knew exactly what to do or not to do. I met some wonderful parents in the process of this. At the end of the day I was thinking and evaluating how it went. The one thought I had was how nice it was to not have to explain to any parent about Sam because they already knew from the peer buddy process. Then I began to wonder what effective ways I can communicate to other adults about S as needed. It is basically the same idea as your square one awareness. I haven't come up with any great ideas for kids but don't have too many scenarios right now that force the need. I have been working with a piano teacher who wanted to take him on. I have realized how much information I want to share but don't want to overwhelm.
I have begun to make a list of things in general about autism that relate to S. as well as some of his quirks, preferred interests, how he identifies his escalating emotions, breaks, etc. I am going to turn it into a little info guide so to speak about him. It will change with time and need to be updated. But I figured I could provide this to a new Dr, teacher, parent of a new friend, swim instructor etc. and they would instantly have a mini picture into his world spreading a bit of autism awareness. Then if more information is desired it can be discussed and questions asked. I haven't finished it yet but I can't stop thinking about it. I realize its not everyone's style but it is my style and I am hoping it proves to be beneficial. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Golden Globes 2013: The Very Best Looks From the Red Carpet
Golden Globes 2013: The Very Best Looks From the Red Carpet
Last season's runway rivalry didn't quite reprise itself on Sunday's Golden Globes red carpet — but almost. Hedi Slimane's new vision for Saint Laurent found a muse in Rosie Huntington-Whiteley; the model-actress (and her Angelina-esque right leg) looked divine in Spring 2013's gauzy, bow-necked halter gown. Meanwhile, Raf Simons's modern Christian Dior was out in full force on not one but two lovely leading ladies. Jennifer Lawrence — who took home the Globe for her work in Silver Linings Playbook — made a strong case for minimalism in the label's Fall 2012 crimson Couture ballgown, while Marion Cotillard was a vision of modern-day sweetness in a custom asymmetrical strapless shift.
But Slimane and Simons weren't the only big-name designers who made an impact on the red carpet. Zac Posen was well-represented; not only did the designer dress Naomi Watts in a gorgeous merlot gown from his Pre-Fall 2013 collection, but he also dressed the night's big winner Lena Dunham in a raisin-hued gown complete with Posen's signature body-flattering seaming. Oscar de la Renta, too, had a strong showing. Jessica Alba looked dreamy in the designer's Pre-Fall 2013 sherbet-colored trumpet dress, while Zooey Deschanel glowed in a vivid red strapless number.
Click through to see all those — plus Jessica Chastain's seafoam Calvin Klein, Kathryn Bigelow's embellished Prada, Sienna Miller's pale pink Erdem, and more — right here in our roundup of the very best looks from 2013 Golden Globes night.

Have you ever thought about Self Publishing your own book? Well, Self Publishing is now more affordable and accessible than ever. Publishing your own book does not have to cost the earth and is available to everyone. If you've been rejected by mainstream publishing companies and still feel your book should be out there with the rest of them - why not self publish your novel and market it yourself?
There are several arguments for and against self-publishing, but the strongest and most often stated reason against this option is; "all self-publishing is an untalented person's way of getting their scribblings into print at an extortionate price."
Well, at £795.00 for the full publication of a transcript we certainly don't fall into the 'extortionist' category, but what about you? Surely if your work had any merit it would have been snapped up by an eager agent or publisher wouldn't it? Rather than us answer this all important question, why not read the stories of a couple of successful authors who were in your exact same position a couple of years ago.
Print on demand has achieved, quite simply, a revolution in the book printing industry opening up the possibility for having one's work printed in either a hardback or paperback format to almost anyone who has a creative writing flair. Until quite recently, printing a book was an extremely costly affair and could only be contemplated by either conventional printers/publishers, who were fairly certain of a manuscript's chance of commercial success, or wealthy individuals who, no matter what the cost, wanted to have their work in print. Now, with the introduction of digital printing, it is possible to literally have just one copy of a book printed at a very reasonable cost. There are no printing plates involved, no conventional printing presses and no need for minimum runs of thousands of copies, just computers and digital printers. More information...
As a self published, you are responsible for the actual marketing of your book, so if you don't do it, no one will! Just look at the examples of Graham Taylor and Wilfred Hopkins (in Why Self-Publish) and read how they got themselves published and read.
"But I don't like selling and I have never sold anything to anyone in my life," I hear you say.
Don't worry, almost all authors, whether they're self-published or not, have been and probably will always be in the same boat as you. You are a writer and not a salesperson. However, the best person to promote your work is you.
You obviously believe your book is of some value because you have spent hours upon hours writing, rewriting and editing it to make the story, characters and settings of as much interest to the reader as you can. You have then spent more time and money trying to get literary agents and publishers to read your book in order to have your work published. The reason you want your book published is because you feel that what you have written is worth someone's time in reading it and you would also like to be paid a reasonable return for the efforts that you have expended in writing and working on your story. More info...
The cost to publish your book will depend on many factors, from number of pages, how much colour is used, how many copies are required. To get an idea of cost, check out our publishing cost calculator.

Cathers' Conceptual Conspiracy Compendium: 7 Films to Get You Through the End Times/
by Sarah Cathers
Are you bummed out we're all still alive? Us too. We were hoping you'd all be gone by now. Our post-apocalyptic optimist and resident pentagrandma Sarah Cathers has compiled a seven film conceptual conspiracy compendium for you to unravel as we wait for the next acapulcopacalipstick. (Pro tip: play this blog post backwards for hidden messages!)
Altered States (1980) dir. Ken Russell
This movie is for those that want to transcend but can't wait for that pesky little baktun to turn. Of course, William Hurt was going through the act of DE-evolution to become one with the light, but the Mayan calendar is cyclical isn't it? So rewinding or fast-forwarding, you can probably still reach the same place. Are we not men?
Assessment: Not QUITE the Age of Aquarius, but switching from human matter to conscious light is nothing to OHM at.
Transformation Rating: Drugs
Ancient Aliens Scale: ∞
Holy Mountain (1973) dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky
Like 42 films in one, you think you are going to trip your balls off, but shit gets real narrative and you realize you are getting a little lesson regarding your assumptions of the higher plane.
Assessment: This movie ends up being for those people at NASA who made that video set to air on 12/22/2012, poo-pooing that the world hasn't ended and you need to chill out. Let Jodorwsky and NASA call the WAHmbulance for you.
Transformation Rating: Religion. No, Tarot. No, Science, No, MOVIES!
Ancient Aliens Scale: 0
Unarius: The Arrival (1969) Unarius Academy of Science
Well, this is billed as an educational video so I guess it pretty much speaks for itself. The Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science, ummm, Foundation was created by some fucking Californians who told everyone they were archangels that went on clairvoyant poetic journeys into past lives and aliens that were somehow tied together. They promised alien landings but haven't delivered. Yet.
Assessment: Could very well end up welcoming our space brothers today so they can answers all of life's big questions for us. Maybe we can ask Zan why he was such a dick.
Transformation Rating: Cult
Ancient Aliens Scale: 7.5
Zardoz (1974) dir. John Boorman
Shows just how boring immortality and enlightenment can be until a sexy savage shows up on the scene to shake things up a bit in his notoriously revealing adult diaper. The Beyond 1984, Beyond 2001, Beyond Love, Beyond Death tag line shows how post-apocalyptic this truly is. Zed (not to be confused with Zan) gets transported by a giant replica of Klaus Kinksi's head to go on a journey to see the man behind the curtain.
Assessment: After all this enlightenment we have been trying to attain, the coolest thing to do is just grow old and die. Being an alien is too safe these days.
Transformation Rating: Future Aliens
Ancient Aliens Scale: 4
Xanadu (1980) dir. Robert Greenwald
Listen, if everyone is going around linking mythologies: gods, aliens and ancient civilizations, then lets get Xanadu in on this shit. I mean, with all of this talk of ancient civilizations having sex with gods to produce the human race that thusly invents calendars and language (thanks to their alien/god overlords/buddies) it's surprising that it took until 1980 for anyone to make a proper roller skating love story musical on the subject.
Assessment: Human time is still utterly confusing to the gods. No amount of calendars can help them figure it out. But one Olympian muse sets out to change all that.
Transformation Rating: Will she or wont she?
Ancient Aliens Scale: 5
Stargate (1994) dir. Roland Emmerich
A portal is found in Egypt (which is really just the poor man's Yucatan) that basically turns the concept of God on its head and shows that they were a bunch of sneaky aliens POSING as gods so they could have sex with our women and set up an illicit slave trade wormhole.
Assessment: Late breaking knowledge of alien interference from the past bums everyone out when they realize there is no such thing as God and Ra is just another shitty human, but in space.
Transformation Rating: More human than human
Ancient Aliens Scale: 9
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) dir. Steven Spielberg
Precedes the Ancient Aliens meme by 2 years and basically scooped the HISTORY CHANNEL by making an action-adventure movie based on the fiction of Zecariah Sitchin. They do one better by adding the search for a goddamn psychic alien crystal skull.
Assessment: This movie has EVERYTHING: Soviet era Russkies, "Warehouse 51," Peruvian rainforests with tiny mad tribesmen, long abandoned cities, temples that turn into spaceships. Why this movie wasn't released today is BEYOND ME.
Ancient Aliens Scale: 100

What are the best countries for a passionate birder to move to? And why?
I discovered this map a while ago, hidden somewhere at the not so easy to navigate BirdLife International's website, and I have used it as my computer wallpaper ever since. Usually, I interchange some birdy wallpapers several times per month, but this one has stayed for several months already. It makes me think what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? Why am I here? And where all those birds are?
This map shows the distribution of the World's bird species, based on overlying the breeding and wintering ranges of all known species. And it raises a question: if all the birds are having a party over there, am I in the wrong spot?
Map by BirdLife International
I live in the southeast of Europe, for a while lived in the south of Africa and also have extensively birded western and central India. With a few more excursions here and there, that is about it. And, sadly, haven't even reached one thousand birds on my life list, yet.
I used to live in Botswana, where there are about 450 bird species in an area a few dozen miles from the capital; then somewhat naively moved back to Serbia with mere 250 species around the capital. And it shows. Birding by canoe in Botswana brings 60 birds in two hours (I am not even talking of the Okavango, but the southeast of the country), while two hour paddling in Serbia brings half of that number.
Several years ago, my best friend / canoeing partner suddenly died and that pushed me into a mid-life crisis. I started reevaluating my life (list), the universe and everything. And I remembered that, back when I was a boy, I wanted to live in eastern Africa. Or Polynesia. Or Wild West – I could not decide.
Without the time travel, the last one drops off the list. And a mere 120 bird species would be a good reason not to take Polynesia as an option. Which leaves only East Africa. But I am now a grown up and should not be so narrow minded.
Photo by Ben Crampton, a.k.a. the Diplobirder
Basically, evaluating the countries I might move to for a longer period, I reached three criteria. Here where I live – in one of the bird-richest corners of Europe, but I miss the species diversity of my yester years. So, the perfect country to move to needs to have at least twice as many species as Serbia. I am talking 600 or 700+ bird species.
Secondly, I lived under a bright sunny sky in Africa for several years, then moved back to murky sky of Europe in December and didn't see the Sun for the next three months. Perhaps I could live without it, but why would I want to?
And finally, the chill factor. While I do enjoy the first snow of the season, the second snow is a different matter. As is every one after it. So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer.
Which leaves me with quite a few choices – practically the entire tropical belt, right? Out of almost 200 countries of the World, more than 100 are in the tropics. Many of them are heavenly islands, alas, with 100 or less bird species. Write off. Some regions are politically unstable, e.g. most of Central and Western Africa. Scratched from the list. Also, I can't speak Spanish or Portuguese, so the countries where English is commonly spoken would be somewhat higher on my list of choices.
I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge? While there is a lot left to be done when it comes to research and nature protection in many tropical countries, there are not that many jobs in that line of work, and ecotourism seem to be the industry of choice.
And here I reach the question: where should a budget-conscious
middle-aged experienced environmentalist who wants to be involved in ecotourism development or wildlife research / spend evenings watching sunsets with a beer in his hand, move to?
Here are 15 countries (+2) I am considering – do you have any suggestion, idea, recommendation or advice? Which countries would you consider and why? Which may be better avoided and why?
Every country is followed by the number of bird species recorded in it. The first figure comes from the BirdLife International – in some cases, these seem to be seriously outdated. Hence I added the second figure from the Fat Birder – often more up to date. Taking as a rule, the higher figure is more accurate.
I vote for Botswana again. Stable government. Near enough to Joburg if you need a city. Same time zone as home, should you want to go back occasionally. I'm just not a fan of the very high bird count Latin countries and India is too crowded. Just one person's opinion.
I can speak from personal experience about India! I came to south India, hoping for some great experience with a conservation-focused NGO, as well as finding new birds to cross off my list! It's been a frustrating couple of years, with few responses from NGOs and very little opportunities. Really good birding spots are hard to find. But it could just be where I live. India is a big country, and I'm sure there are some great NGOs and birding spots somewhere in here!
Thank you for this fascinating post! Of course you need to factor in the political situation in each country, and some have rather sad stories. I've heard Panama is a nice place to live and has great birding, but don't see it on your list. For a vacation? After seeing your list, I think I'll plan a trip to Peru!
You may know Derek Kverno's blogs, but I'll copy his Ecuador blog here: http://birdingecuador.blogspot.ca/ It can certainly whet the appetite. It was invaluable to us when spending a winter in Ecuador. Ecuador has considerable appeal with its varied geography and huge bird count. Kverno also has blogs for Brazil and Tanzania.
We ( two Canadians escaping said snow) have spent winters in Thailand, Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico. Mexico was by far the most exciting country. Culturally and geographically, it would be hard to match and it does have around 1000 species, although distributed over a large area. Most Latin Americans do not speak English much, but there are large expat communities throughout Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador. We liked the Ojochal area in Costa Rica, the Yucatan area around Merida, the Volcan area in Panama, and the Otavalo area north of Quito.
Also, trying to forget Bali, Indonesia I guess – fascinating place but the congestion and the humidity would knock it off my list of possibilities
OK. so it's a bit fewer species than you prefer, but I would suggest northeastern Turkey — because that's pretty close to Georgia, where you would definitely not want to be for stability reasons, but where the latitude and longitude are both 42, which I gather is secretly important to you.
I started birding outside the US, but I still haven't had the desire to live life as an expat. That said, if I were to try it for real, I'd be in Ecuador in a heartbeat.
For myself, I need warmer weather… and sun. Back in the middle 90s, 20-21 years ago, I spent six months in Alaska. I actually thought I could deal with the cold, but not without the sun. And by mid-September watching thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl begin to stage got me wondering… aren't they the smart ones to vacate this place at this time of year.
I did move to SE AZ to have my minute to minute bird fix, but it's a base so I travel and return and try and be content – that's my balance. But that doesn't fully quell dreams of Ecuador… or New Zealand. The latter country I love but feel climate-wise is too far on the cool side – damn Southern Oceans!
The first thing I would want to do is visit as many of those countries as possible to get a feel for them; then I would move to Mindo, Ecuador, or St.Lucia, South Africa. You cannot beat those places, lots of ex-pats to sovialize with.
I'd suggest Malaysia. My reasoning is that Kuala Lumpur is the home of Air Asia, which has dirt cheap flights to nearby cities and beyond. Fancy a weekend of birding in Cebu, in the Philipines? Your's for 100 bucks (or less if you are clever). So not only do you get your 700 species in the country but cheap and easy access to nearby places like Indonesia, Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand.
Hey all, this year has been my first samplin of SE Asia. I stayed in Kuala Lumpur for a while (great coffee, no birds), managed one trip to Fraser's Hill-fantastic! I did a short trip to DoI Inthanon in Thailand-likewise fantastic (had a Slaty legged Crake doing photo ops for 3 hours!) This year I'm going back for the birds. Thailand and Malaysia are relatively small easy to get around with hotspots galore.
I would like suggestions for specific towns/ cities to live in in Asia and South/central America that have great birds, decent air quality and decent internet and amenities.
Ron – as the NZ writer for this site I should note that NZ has great endemisim but low diversity. Day to day I rarely see surprising things. Leaves you longing for woodpeckers and crows. It's a great place for birds but if you are after numbers I'd suggest Oz.
And the climate isn't so bad up north. Down here in Wellington though…
Australia does seem to tick all your boxes, but you need a "stubby holder" for your beer, or it will get warm too fast!
Anywhere in the north needs help to stop the progress of the Cane Toad and train the native animals to not eat it, which appears to be able to be passed down generations by making them eat a little, get sick and then know not to eat it again. You could be trapped for a few months in flooding rains and be surrounded by birds, but that's not a bad thing is it??!! Get the canoe out and avoid crocodiles! 🙂
I received your Facebook message while in Queen Elizabeth National Park (625 species) and I thought the link was of an article you found online. Now that I can open it, I see that I can get some personal background of yours quite easily.
Provided you have any inclination to share your vast knowledge and deep passion with the people of southwestern Uganda, the Gorilla Highlands should be your destination really… We are a loose partnership of lodges and other tourism and development organisations eager to build up our birding capacity. Our bird variety is immense but bird guides actually based in our region are ridiculously few.
In addition to training of local guides there is another important potential work area. I am about to start the Gorilla Highlands News blog that would greatly benefit from your input.
Finally, having your (former) compatriot running the show might be handy. I used to publish in Serbian but it has gotten very rusty so pardon my English. 😉
This is a great area of Africa, so nice and green and "birds all over". Loads of fantastic species and really grab the chance if you get a job here!! My experience with the guides on the canal-boat was really positive, they knew all the species in latin and had few problems identifying the birdies in QENP 🙂
I worked 2 years in Tanzania and would return if I had a chance! Great birds, great people and fantastic nature all over! Jungle, savannah, beach, montane forests, miombo forest they have it all!
More than 1050 spp are awaiting you 🙂
Dont forget UK 581 species ?

Em-i-lis' Green Machine Salad/
Summary: I've never been a coleslaw fan, but I do like the idea of thinly sliced veggies in a tangy, creamy dressing. The crisp, crunchy freshness of Granny Smith apples, celery and fennel is infinitely pleasing, especially when dressed with a refreshing aioli infused with celery leaves and fennel fronds. This is a great summer salad; hearty enough to be a simple lunch when paired with some great bread and/or some grilled shrimp, or a terrific start to dinner on the patio.
Yield: serves 4-6
For the salad
- 2 scallions, green and white parts cut into thin rings
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks
- 4 stalks celery, cut on the diagonal, about 1/4" thick
- 1 small fennel bulb, cut lengthwise into thin strips
- 1/8 cup celery leaves, chopped, for garnish
- 1/8 cup fennel fronds, chopped, for garnish
- 1 lemon wedge
For the dressing
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 egg
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 + 1/8 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup celery leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fennel fronds, chopped salt and pepper
Make the dressing first by placing the egg yolk, egg, chopped garlic, lemon juice, cider vinegar, mustard and some salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until combined, and then with the motor running, drizzle in a thin stream the olive and canola oils until incorporated. Add the celery leaves and fennel fronds and blend until well combined. Add salt and pepper to season and more lemon juice if you like. Set the dressing aside.
*IF you are not serving this salad immediately, make the dressing without the garlic at first. Refrigerate and then, just before serving, blend in the chopped garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, put the chopped celery, fennel and apple and squeeze the lemon wedge over. Set the lemon wedge aside and with your hands, toss the celery, fennel, and apple until combined.
Gently stir in 1/3 of the dressing. Taste, check seasoning, and add more dressing if you like. Top with the reserved 1/8 cup celery leaves and 1/8 cup fennel fronds. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. You will have leftover dressing.

Purple kohlrabi and Cultured Kohlrabi "Pickles"
I had quite the day yesterday at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. I kicked it all off at 8 am on the Fresh & Local Show as a guest. I was on the Fresh & Local Show last summer and was so flattered to be asked back for another show. The Fresh & Local Show is sponsored by the Minnesota Vegetable Grower's Association, and features weekly guests to talk about gardening, seasonal produce, and the farmers market. Susan Berkson and Bonnie Dehn, the joyful and knowledgeable hosts, are so much fun, and I loved being able to spend time with them talking about food, gardening, and cooking. As it turned out, one of the other guests, Mary Maguire Lehrman, also has chronic Lyme Disease, so we even got to do a little educating about Lyme.
The radio program will be available to download online early this week, so check out this link and look for the dated broadcasts if you want to listen!
After the broadcast, we all sat down and shared in a wonderful fresh fruit tart that I made. It was covered in fresh fruit, including red currants I picked from my garden, had a rich cashew lemon cream filling, and a lovely oatmeal and coconut flour crust. I'll post the recipe eventually. In the meantime, feast your eyes!
fresh fruit tart...you'll get the recipe eventually, i promise
Then I hopped in my car and drove to the Minneapolis Farmers Market. I threw on my apron and led my very first live cooking demo for the weekly Market Talk in a segment called "Fresh, Local, and Gluten-Free". It was so much fun! I used fresh market produce to demonstrate two recipes: Cultured Kohlrabi Dill Pickles and Sauteed Zucchini with Garlic Scape Spinach Pesto. I also shared hints and suggestions for creating allergy-friendly meals using fresh food from the market and pantry staples. It was a yummy seasonal food extravaganza! Everyone watching the demo got to sample my creations. The crowd loved it - even the fermented pickles! People really enjoyed the demonstration and were very engaged, and I had a good, consistent crowd through the whole hour-long demonstration.
I was thankful to have two great event organizers, Sandy Hill and Rachele Cermak, to help out that day, serving up samples and prompting me with questions and discussion points. It made my first demonstration much easier to do! I was happy to see Sandy licking leftover pesto off her fingers after cleaning out the food processor. Neither of them believed that it was my first time doing a live demonstration, and told me I should have a cooking show, which made me blush. They were very flattering! I think I may be doing another demonstration at the market this fall, so stay tuned!
Sauteed zucchini with garlic scape and spinach pesto
I even got a little local press - the local newspaper the Star Tribune briefly mentioned my demo in the weekend Farmers Market report, and local food website Simple, Good, and Tasty listed it in their monthly events section. I was so excited!
Since you couldn't be there with me, I wanted to bring a little piece of the market back to share with you. Here's a few photos I took after the market back at my house, and the recipes I shared with the crowd. I hope you enjoy them! I hope to get a few photos that other people took of the market demo, so I"ll put those up later. I will also be putting a pdf of the recipes on my Downloads page, for an easy-print version. Enjoy!
Cultured Kohlrabi "Pickles"
Cultured Kohlrabi Dill Pickles
Yield 1 qt | Kim Christensen, www.affairsofliving.com
These naturally fermented, vinegar-free kohlrabi "pickles" are crunchy, salty, and tart, and very reminiscent of classic cucumber pickles. The natural fermentation process allows the development of beneficial bacteria and creates a live food that helps regulate digestion and restore proper intestinal flora, just like yogurt or kefir.
- 2-3 large kohlrabi bulbs
- 2 Tbsp high-quality sea salt (Himalayan pink salt, Real Salt, or Maldon are excellent)
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh dill
- 1 Tbsp whole yellow mustard seeds
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed, sliced in half lengthwise
- optional: 1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1-1 1/2 c filtered water
- 1 1-qt. glass canning jar, sterilized with boiling water
Wash and peel kohlrabi well, then slice into long sticks about 1/4" x 1/4". Arrange sticks in jar, layering with dill and garlic. As you are putting them in jar, press down lightly with a wooden spoon, and continue filling until there is about 1" between kohlrabi and top of jar.
Mix together salt, 1 cup of water, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes, and pour over kohlrabi. Add additional water as necessary to cover kohlrabi and fill until there is 1" space at the top. Cover tightly.
Let jar sit out at room temperature (ideally, 65º -70º F) for 3-4 days in a dark place on a plate or in a small dish to catch any possible leaks.. Hotter temperatures will make things ferment more quickly, cooler temperatures will make for slower fermentation. you may notice hissing sounds coming from the jar - that's a good thing! After 3 days, carefully open jar over the sink (pressure builds up and it may fizz when you open), and try a pickle. It will be very salty, and should taste tart, slightly sour and yeasty. If not sour enough for your tastes, put cover back on and let sit another day or two.
Transfer to cold storage after fermenting. Can be eaten immediately, or kept for up to 6 months in the refrigerator. The flavor gets better with age!
this is how we make pesto
make sure to use a high-quality olive oil for best flavor
Sauteed zucchini with garlic scape & spinach pesto, served over quinoa
Sauteed Zucchini with Garlic Scape & Spinach Pesto
Yield 4 servings | Kim Christensen, www.affairsofliving.com
This is a delicious side dish that is easy to prepare and delicious. To make it a main course, toss it with cooked pasta, rice or quinoa, add white beans or cooked chicken, and stir in more pesto, to taste. Serve hot or chilled for a wonderful, versatile dish.
- 4 medium zucchini
- olive oil
- 1/2 cup pesto, or more to taste (recipe follows)
- 2-3 Tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
- 1-2 tsp lemon zest
- finely sliced basil
- lemon wedges/lemon juice
- sea salt & freshly cracked pepper
Heat a heavy bottom saute pan and add pumpkin seeds. Toast until golden and starting to pop. Remove from heat. Add oil to saute pan, and heat over medium heat. Add sliced zucchini, stir to coat, and saute over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes, until just slightly softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat and place in serving bowl. Toss with pesto, adding sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Serve hot or chilled, garnish with pumpkin seeds, lemon zest, basil, and lemon wedges or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Garlic Scape & Spinach Pesto
Yield 2 cups
This pesto can be used a multitude of ways - toss with raw or cooked vegetables or pasta, use as a flavorful base for dressings and sauces, or use as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.
- 1 cup chopped garlic scapes
- 3 cups fresh spinach, lightly packed
- 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds, toasted
- 1/2-1 cup olive oil, or mix of olive oil and cold chicken or vegetable broth
- juice & zest of 1 1/2 large lemons
Toast pumpkinseeds in a saute pan over medium until golden and starting to pop, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool while preparing other ingredients. Place garlic scapes and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process until lightly chopped, then add spinach and herbs, and continue processing until just starting to mix. Slowly add olive oil/broth and continue to blend until smooth, scraping sides as necessary, until desired consistency is reached. Then add pumpkin seeds and blend until fine, and you have a coarse, grainy mixture. Add more oil or lemon juice as necessary. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays, then transfer to freezer bags. Thaw in refrigerator or at room temperature.
Want to serve this over quinoa like in the photo? Here's how to cook a simple pot of quinoa.
Soak 1 cup of dry quinoa in 3-4 cups of fresh water for 8 hours. The soaking breaks down the seed coat and starts the sprouting process, resulting in the nutrients being more bioavailable and it being more easily digested. After soaking, drain the grains through a fine sieve and rub together with your hand while rinsing under running water. Rubbing the grains together rinses off the saponin coating that can irritate digestion and create a bitter flavor. Soaking quinoa and rubbing while rinsing is important to ensure best flavor and easiest digestion.
Place soaked, rinsed quinoa in a saucepan, and cover with 2 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 10-15 minutes, until quinoa has absorbed water. Remove from heat, and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Then remove cover and fluff. Easy!

OOSTBURG, WIS. (Jan. 26, 11:20 p.m. ET) — Dutchland Plastics Corp., a Wisconsin-based rotational and blow molder, has purchased the assets of Continental Southern Industries Inc., an industrial blow molder in Greenville, S.C.
Daven Claerbout, Dutchland executive vice president of sales and co-owner, said in a telephone interview his firm bought three accumulator-head blow molding machines, two with 60-pound shots and one with a 35-pound shot. He said Dutchland will continue to operate the machines in
Dutchland also is expanding its growing blow molding services. The rotomolding company first got into blow molding in the mid-1990s at its headquarters in Oostburg, Wis.
CEO Carl Claerbout, Daven's brother and a co-owner, said Dutchland is committed to expanding

Bret Michaels continues to recover from his emergency appendectomy procedure last week, but the rocker-turned-reality star said things could've been a lot worse.
"I have played concerts with broken bones, extremely low blood sugars, the flu, colds, and all kinds of things before. I tend to try to perform at all costs. But, I knew I was really sick this time when I started throwing up that morning and didn't stop all day. I just didn't realize how bad it was," Bret wrote on his personal blog on Monday.
After feeling ill prior to his scheduled concert at Sea World in San Antonio, Texas, last week, Bret said he knew something was wrong, but he still wanted the show to go on.
"After the [surgery], they told me that if I had gone onstage like I wanted to, it likely would have ruptured and I could have died. Not good," he continued.
Now that he is out of the woods, thanks to the quick work of his doctors, who he noted "performed emergency surgery right there in the middle of the night," how is the former Poison frontman recovering?
"I've been spending my time in the hospital watching 'Modern Family,'" he revealed. "It is the best new comedy out there."
Bret has also managed to keep his "Rock of Love" outlook while he's on the mend, adding he has some easy-on-the-eyes assistants helping him out.
"And yes there are hot nurses taking care of me, in case you were curious. I mean, come on, every man has the nurse fantasy don't they?" he wrote.

Prime Minister John Key says privacy breaches like the two revealed in one week at the Earthquake Commission are inevitable, and they are a result of human error, not systemic failure.
EQC mistakenly sent an email containing claims status and private details of 83,000 claimants, covering 98,000 claims, to former EQC contractor Bryan Staples.
Six days later it was revealed another claimant received an email with an attached spreadsheet with 2200 names, stopped cheque details and claim amounts worth $23 million.
Mr Key said EQC had been under huge pressure to grow quickly and respond to hundreds of thousands of claims, and operate with a high degree of urgency.
"There's always a trade-off here; there will always be human error.
"I don't have a simple way of stopping human error. If there were a few people you can get them in a room, but you're literally talking about tens of thousands of people who might make a simple mistake by forwarding an email.
"I don't know about you - but over the weekend I happened to get three text messages from people that were nothing to do with me.
"They were very affectionate towards me; but they were nothing to do with me. It happens"
Mr Key said Government employees were expected to treat sensitive information carefully and diligently.
"We need to make sure that we're instructing our agencies and departments to follow the most precautionary steps that they can, in terms of the dissemination of what could be personal information. Inevitably some people still make mistakes."
Information systems at the Earthquake Commission will return to business on a restricted basis.
Last week Minister Responsible for the Earthquake Commission, Gerry Brownlee, called for a complete freeze on IT systems, including all incoming and outgoing emails.
Tonight Mr Brownlee announced a resumption of EQC's claims settlement system and functions that allow the Commission to pay contractors in the Canterbury home repair programme.
Staff will still not be able to email customers, but customers will be able to email staff.
Claims processing will be delayed, including claims payments.
Mr Brownlee has continued to restrict online forms including query forms, Official Information Act requests and complaints forms.
EQC staff worked over Easter with a team from the office of the Government's chief information officer, Colin MacDonald.
Other functions will return progressively this week, subject to EQC and Mr MacDonald's signoff that systems to protect privacy are appropriate and robust, Mr Brownlee said.
Staff were involved in an internal audit, and all staff were reviewing locally-stored files and protecting material where necessary.
"EQC is also identifying how best to manage the large spreadsheets required to document their work programme; and they're working with professional third parties such as private insurers and contractors on how to ensure EQC data is transferred in a manner that protects privacy," said Mr Brownlee.
The commission laid a complaint with Christchurch police last week. No further detail of that complaint has been released by police.

Today's jobs report was a big sigh of relief.
Unemployment fell. Retail jobs were added in solid numbers, and there were big upward revisions to March and February numbers.
America seems to be avoiding recession, even with the hit from the sequester.
So how are things chugging along? Part of it may be expansive monetary policy, but there's another factor that's starting to turn bullish for the consumer: Gas prices.
Here's a look at the year-over-year change in the cost of the average gallon of gasoline.
The drop of close to 10% is the biggest drop since 2010.
Not only are gas prices becoming less of a burden, but average hourly wage growth has improved.
Year-over-year growth in average hourly wages (while a little weak lately) has been stronger than it's been in awhile.
The upshot is that every hour Americans are working these days is buying them more and more gas, relieving a pretty significant economic burden.
Here's a look at how many gallons of gasoline the average worker can buy with an hour's work. It's still a little bumpy, but the trend is higher.
And you can really see it happening on this chart, which shows the year-over-year change in how much gasoline the average worker can buy in an hour.
As you can see, the average worker can now buy 15% more gasoline with an hour's wages than they could buy at this time last year.
Given how significant gas prices are as a "drag" on the economy, this is a big tailwind, that could theoretically go a long way.

He put a ring on it.
John Cena proposed to longtime girlfriend Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33. The proposal took place after the couple defeated The Miz and his wife Maryse during a tag team match.
Cena and Bella have been together for about five years, and the couple's relationship has been well documented on "Total Divas" and "Total Bellas."
During an April 2016 episode of Total Divas, Bella wished Cena would propose to her.
"You guys, John finally told me on our three-year anniversary that marriage doesn't bother him anymore, he wants to marry me, he wants to be married to me," Bella told her friends.
She then gushed, "I want him next to me my whole life. I can't live without him."
Nikki Bella and John Cena's Love Story
Last January, Bella underwent neck surgery and was in a brace during last year's WrestleMania 32. Now, she's in the middle of a major comeback and she's engaged!
What a difference a year makes.

Remember how much you hated those kids whose parents always bought them the latest thing from Hammacher Schlemmer? (Ooh, night-vision goggles!) Now they can even order a Light Cycle... or at least a Suzuki 996cc-powered, street-legal motorcycle inspired by Tron: Legacy.
According to the online catalog, the built-to-order Light Cycle lookalike — likely the same one created by Parker Brothers Choppers — gets its telltale looks via a fiberglass cowling with built-in electroluminescent strips, over a steel frame. The hubless wheels are truck tires "built up then custom-shaped to fit onto one of two counter-rotating rims spinning within each other." Really? Holy Toledo.
The rider lays nearly prone, with his feet on foot pegs that control the cycle's 6-speed manual transmission (it's chain driven). Naturally, the handlebars fit traditional throttle and braking controls. The suspension is spring-loaded in the front and rigid at the rear. A wet sump lube system requires no tubes and hoses for oil pick-up, which the company says facilitates its "streamlined, minimalist design."
Now let's see how quickly that spoiled brat loses interest in this thing, and leaves it in a ditch off Mulholland Highway.
(Hat tip to Jesse!)

Warhammer Online Offline
You may be aware that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has been undergoing a closed Beta. Your awareness is a day out of date. Mythic have confirmed that they're closing their Beta for a couple of months so they can – I paraphrase loosely – "Have A Little Think".
Closed betas closing aren't exactly commonplace, so this has lead to a mass of speculation. Mythic's Big Chief Mark Jacobs takes time from not running a closed beta anymore to elaborate over at f13.net. In the thread on the topic he posts extensively, basically saying everything's fine. If you're interested in Warhammer Online – hell, or just the difficulties of MMO makers generally, I suggest you read it all, but here's a fun quote to get a taste…
"The reactions have been kinda funny. When we said we could do the game in about 2 years (we didn't even have a contract for WAR till the summer of '05), people said we should take more time, spend more money and do it right. When other companies take extra time to do it right, lots of people jump up and down and say that shows that they really care about making a great game. When we announced our delay last year so we could make the game even better than we originally planned (thanks to the level of competition from Blizzard and elsewhere), people said the game was doomed."
The final point Jacobs makes in his full post is, I think, the strongest for those who are worried about Warhammer Online. It's not a general Back To The Drawing Board delay. It's specifically two months, which implies a plan. That said, by being so specific, they've set themselves an actual task. If in two months time nothing happens, eyebrows will be raised.

A late penalty try was enough to earn Leicester a hard fought 14-13 win over Treviso in Italy on Saturday.
Six days after beating securing a bonus-point win against the same opposition at Welford Road, the Tigers looked to be on their way out of Europe against a brave Benetton side. However, a penalty try in the dying embers of the second half means Richard Cockerill's men will live to fight another day.
Pool Two now looks like a three-way fight, with Ospreys beating Toulouse in the other fixture. The Tigers' final day fixture against the French side is likely to decide their destiny. For Treviso, progression from the group has never really been a realistic goal, but there was much pride to play for having perfumed so well in the reverse fixture, only to come away with nothing. Once again they deserved so much better after an heroic effort.
Alberto Di Bernardo kicked everything that came his way for Franco Smith's men who also managed a penalty try of their own. Adam Thompstone scored a try for the visitors and George Ford chipped in with two conversions.
The torrential rain that fell all week long in northern Italy dictated that this one was always going to be a tight affair. Leicester, however, made light of the difficult conditions and with just 14 minutes played had scored one the best tries likely to be seen anywhere this season.
Thompstone was the eventual beneficiary after a wonderful flowing attack started by Ben Youngs 10 metres from his own line cut the Treviso rearguard to ribbons. Ford angled home the conversion and for a spell it looked like Treviso, as they had done the week before, were about to go into meltdown.
Prop forward Michele Rizzo was yellow carded for stamping and the home defence looked all over the place as Leicester went for the kill. Some poor decision making, however, ensured that Treviso saw out the remaining 10 minutes within shipping any further damage.
And then, restored to full strength, they hit back courtesy of a penalty try awarded after Tigers had sacked a well-organised maul, albeit 12 metres from the chalk. Di Bernardo converted and then added a penalty, whilst at the other end Ford was wide from a central position as the half ended with Leicester trailing 10-7.
Treviso continued where they had left off before the turnaround, Di Bernardo despatching another penalty to extend their advantage. The Tigers, meanwhile, turned down a number of shots at goal as they went in search of another try, but they laboured to break down a well-organised home defence, despite being camped in the Treviso half for long periods.
It seemed, however, as though the pendulum would once again swing when Christian Loamanu was sin-binned midway through the half. Accordingly, the Tigers went for the throat, and with virtually the last throw of the dice forced a penalty try after Treviso collapsed a series of scrums on their own line. Ford converted, and Tigers had got out of jail.
And post-match, Tigers boss Richard Cockerill admitted that he was shocked by the penalty try that was awarded to Treviso. "I don't know if I'll ever see a more bizarre penalty try," Cockerill said. "I have never seen anything like it in the 30 years that I have been involved with rugby. I was just amazed. If that had been awarded for us I would have sat in my chair in embarrassment."
Cockerill saw his side come through the tough test against Treviso thanks to a last minute penalty try and he admitted his team got out of jail. "We're obviously very relieved because we came away with the win," Cockerill said. "You have to congratulate Treviso for the way they played. They made us work exceptionally hard. Conversely, you have to congratulate our players for sticking in there and digging in right until the end.
"Everything went against us really. We scored a really good try in that first half, but somehow we upset the referee and he was against us for a fair bit. You could easily let all those factors get on top of you and throw in the towel. But we didn't, we stuck to our guns, played for the win, and eventually we got it."

Dynamic Range
Samuel Steward started his career in the 1930s as an academic, teaching literature at DePaul and Loyola and writing novels that garnered reviews from The New York Times. Through his work and correspondences he made friends and sought mentorships with some of the 20th century's leading literary figures, including Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.
But Steward lived a secret, bifurcated life well-known to gay men in an era before Stonewall and gay liberation, certainly before Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or the token gay best friend of sitcom TV helped normalize gayness in the public eye. He was a focused, energetic, and beloved professor by day, but after-hours he dedicated himself to an increasingly intense series of clandestine sexual encounters with other men, and detailed his secret sex life in thousands of pages of diaries over the course of his life.
Among Steward's most detailed records was the "Stud File," an alphabetized card catalogue with a different index card for every sexual conquest.
Take, for example, the entry under Gugliemi, R., for the black and white film star Rudolph Valentino, who Steward tracked down for an autograph by posing as a high school newspaper reporter. Steward kept a lock of hair from Valentino's nether regions that remained by his bedside for the rest of his life.
Then there's the entry for Hudson, Rock, the actor who later became one of the first prominent figures to publicly admit he had AIDS. Steward claimed to have had sex with Rock Hudson in an elevator at Marshall Field's.
As a teenager, Steward discovered a copy of Havelock Ellis' Sexual Inversion, the first objective study of gay men that did not portray homosexuality as a disease, or as immoral. A traveling salesman had accidentally left the book in his aunt's boarding house, and perhaps as a result of reading it, Steward did not have the same sense of shame or self-loathing that may have plagued others of his generation.
His detailed personal records became invaluable primary source material for pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, with whom Steward formed a close friendship. The two men never slept together, but Kinsey did observe orgies at Steward's home. You know, for research.
We know much of what we know about Sam Steward now thanks to the efforts of writer Justin Spring, who uncovered the Stud File and another 80 boxes of documents and memorabilia in what he describes as a veritable "Ali Baba's cave of homosexual record keeping" in an attic in San Francisco. (The material had been abandoned there by Steward's executor, following Steward's death in 1993.)
Spring compiled the material into a biography - Secret Historian (Farrar, Straus & Giroux 2010) – that details Steward's life from his early years in Ohio to his later years in Chicago, Milwaukee, and finally Oakland.
In those later years Steward pursued one of his other great passions: tattooing. He opened a tattoo shop at 638 S. State Street, and then another one in Milwaukee, after Chicago raised the minimum age for tattooing to 21 and Steward lost most of his younger clients.
In the audio above, biographer Justin Spring explains the relationship between Steward's tattoo art and his sexual exploits, and traces how the polymath ended up as an out, gay man who was also the official tattoo artist for Hell's Angels.
The audio does contain material that may not be appropriate for younger or more sensitive listeners. But it's as fascinating and as deliciously devious as it sounds.
Dynamic Range showcases hidden gems unearthed from Chicago Amplified's vast archive of public events and appears on weekends. Justin Spring spoke at an event presented by the Chicago History Museum in September. Click here to hear the event in its entirety.

Distributors, brokers and sales reps are crying out for informative sales materials from their wineries. Retailers want to see technical information on the wines, not just sales hyperbole. Restaurants want to know if the wines have been reviewed, and if the style will fit their menu. And by 'style' I don't mean marketing-speak—these are buyers who want to see TA and pH figures, and an explanation of your oak regimen.
It's important for wineries to realize that, no matter how much you love your broker or sales rep, there are many buyers who are astute and want to measure your wine against their own palate. And they want to see your data. If the wine and the data back up the salesperson's hype, then that account will begin to trust you and it will confirm their trust in your sales rep. It's a win-win scenario for everyone.
Your wine profiles (or technical sheets, if your prefer to call them that) and a well-done shelf talker should be part of every winery website. Attach these wine media as .pdf files so your sales reps and customers can view and download them with any program.
PDF stands for Portable Document Format—a universal file format developed by Adobe that preserves the fonts, formatting, graphics and color of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it.
Unfortunately, very few wineries are recognizing what other industries have long known—providing your brand and product information online in .pdf format increases sales!
PDF software is extremely affordable and can be used for a variety of tasks—you can convert financial documents for emailing to your bank, or graphic design pages for emailing to media contacts. PDF software costs only $10 to $75 for a basic program that will be more than sufficient for your needs; most have free 30-day trial periods. If you plan to get into designing your own labels and media materials, excellent suites are available for $100 to $400.
The software is also extremely easy to use. All you are doing, basically, is converting an existing document into a universally readable format. My software takes just two clicks, and I'm done.
Here is what sales professionals on Facebook have to say:
"Very important . . . Especially if you are dealing with small wineries."
"I hate printing them out as it costs us too much money and we never have the right one in hand when we need it. Having them available as a PDF on the website is 100% mandatory. Sending data out to your reps on a USB key would be GENIUS!!! Please include ratings too."
Great idea! How about these cork-shaped USB keys that can be custom-imprinted with your brand? And now you know what to put on them!

(December 31, 2012, from Mr Lady Torso Cheif @Schadenfreudette) Images from the scene have started to come in and they are indeed as disturbing as we had feared. (Warning: these images are of a graphic nature and may not be appropriate for sensitive readers.)
After a busy day of speculation across multiple social media channels, Mr Lady retrieved the object pictured above from the Belly Button. A resounding "WTF IS THAT?" was heard 'round the internet as theories once thought ridiculous, now seem completely plausible. "When I first saw the pictures, I thought it was some sort of bug," said Schadenfreudette in between gagging noises. "But clearly it must be some sort of alien antenna. We've got people working on it now."
Mr Lady insists that the object actually appears to be an intact set of stitches, but was unable to explain where they might have come from. There is a remote possibility that Developer has launched a nanotechnology initiative to reconnect the umbilicus. Mr Lady Worldwide Torso PR is standing by the theory of imminent alien eruption, as it is the more favorable of either scenario.
The internet is welcoming the tiny alien being with open arms, though the yet unnamed life form is trying to keep a low profile. It has been spotted out and about disguised as Axl Rose and in the company of its pterodactyl posse. It is also in talks to record a song with R Kelly entitled "Trapped in the Navel while Trapped in the Closet."
3of3 has provided this illustration of her new "puppy-kitty-sister-brother!!!" and we hope to have a family picture soon.
Reluctant to comment is Jim Lin, saying only "As long as that's the only orifice excreting alien/stich/nano things, I'm cool. But I'd rather not think about it too much right now."
It is expected that the "alien/stitch/nano thing" will have it's own Twitter account soon. This effort might be led by the team responsible for Bubble Yum Wind Tunnel. We'll bring you updates as they become available.
Ninth Circle of Hell, AZ – (December 30, 2012) – In what can only be described as a definitive - yet gruesome - display of its true feelings, Mr Lady's Belly Button spewed forth a significant amount of blood in the early morning hours. The Belly Button was initially established over 30 years ago as an umbilical cord delivering vital nutrients directly from the original developer of the project, Mr Lady's mother. The umbilicus was severed soon following completion and delivery, and the figurative umbilicus was severed approximately 16 years later. This recent development is widely regarded as a final "FUCK YOU" to the developer, as it was the closest portal by which they were connected, though there is still much speculation. Until an official cause is released, rumors persist of an imminent alien eruption or the regrowth of Mr Lady's Uterus. (Uterus could not be reached for comment, but was last seen on the Sarah Lawrence campus, double majoring in Public Policy and Women's Studies with a minor in Drum Circle Leadership.) We are still awaiting photos from the scene, but witnesses describe it as "totally weird" and "a little unsexy, but just flip over."
When asked about the possibility of reconstruction efforts, Jim Lin (Ladyparts Liaison and General Manager) was reluctant to confirm details. "The work done in 2010 was really fantastic, but this is a completely different orifice. If we aren't careful, we'll have lint coming at us like ninja stars and that's not safe for any one."
We'll keep you updated as reports come in from the field. If you have news regarding this breaking story, please contact Schadenfreudette with Mr Lady Worldwide Torso PR (Formerly "Mr Lady Reproductive Public Relations")

Cincinnati museum director in Boston: 'It's just very quiet'
Director sheltering-in-place at hotel
As authorities seek the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, a Cincinnati museum director is among the hundreds of thousands of people told to shelter in place.
Aaron Betsky, director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, said he and others are staying in a hotel about 10 miles from Watertown, where much of the search has been centered.
"It's just very quiet, a few people walking their dogs and every now and then a police car going by," Betsky told WLWT News 5's Todd Dykes. "It's a slightly eerie feeling to be in the middle of a big city like this and have this little activity."
Betsky said he feels safe where he is at this point.
"We are not overly concerned. Our understanding is that all of this is happening at this point quite far away. We have taken every precaution necessary," he said. "I just spoke with a Boston police officer who went over with me what we should and shouldn't do ... so we feel quite confident."
