Reflections on the 2016 B Corp Champions Retreat
Paul Hawkins suggests that successful businesses are tended to like gardens.
As entrepreneurs, owners, and operators the growth we should be focusing on is in the healthy soil and roots of our businesses so that year after year our endeavors can flower and flourish. This could be seen as contradictory to the mantra of "scale or die" which is so prevalent in today's growth oriented companies and the entrepreneur often needs help navigating the path forward. For B-line, I have found this guidance in the certified B Corp movement. The B Corp community, with the support of the non-profit B Lab, continues to provide a roadmap for how a company can truly be a force for good.
I was reminded of the uniting and inspiring voices of the B-Corp movement a few weeks ago when I attended the annual Champions Retreat in Philadelphia, PA, where over 500 representatives from over 300 B Corps converged from 19 different countries for three days of service, collaboration, and celebration. This year's theme was "Towards an inclusive Economy" and at every session – large or small – the participants grappled with this notion. We explored the nuances of the words diversity, equality, equity, and inclusion. Conversations were built around internal company practices as well as greater community outreach. Through reading, reflecting, and sharing the text Freedom from Fear by Aung San Suu Kyi, we explored individually and collectively the nature of Fear as corruption. Then, on the last day of the retreat, we were inspired by presenters who shared their path toward an inclusive economy and challenged the rest of us to do so as well.
At the retreat, I was pulled out of the daily events that so often overwhelm a business owner and was given the opportunity to consider what path(s) B-line will choose to grow a more inclusive company. At first, the immediate hurdles of capital, resources, and leadership bandwidth screamed at me from the front of my brain. But as the conversations continued, I began to realize the unique position B-line plays in our community. The myriad ways that we can continue to foster more inclusive roots throughout our organization and in the communities we serve have begun to sprout.
Historically, B-line's impact business model has focused on creating a more livable community via the reduction of truck trips into our urban center and neighborhoods. First through consolidation, and then through vehicle replacement with our trikes, B-line takes small but critical steps towards a less carbon-intensive method of moving freight throughout the city. With the move to the Redd on Salmon street, B-line now has an appropriately sized warehouse to serve as a central city hub that can expand our mission and our business simply by providing an accessible space. In the months and years to come, I believe that B-line can strive to leverage this access to grow a more inclusive economy. Here's how:
As Kevin Trapani emphatically demonstrated during the B Inspired Talks, this all makes good business sense, as "No business can succeed in a community that is failing." Please join me in planting the seeds and helping B-line grow a more inclusive economy.

Portland, Oregon —
For the past eight years, SoupCycle has been delivering organic meals to customers – now over 600 individuals and families in Portland – all by bicycle. SoupCycle provides delivered meals four days a week in neighborhoods ranging from North and Northeast Portland, downtown and Southeast Portland including Sellwood.
B-Line is the missing link in the infrastructure of a sustainable city. Solving the challenges of the "last mile" of a distribution network, B-Line delivers on the promise that business can be a catalyst for social and environmental change through product aggregation and eco-friendly delivery via the fleet of cargo trikes.
Nate Schlachter, SoupCycle Owner, stated, "The opportunity to partner with B-Line is a chance to collaborate with another bike-based business that we have long admired and watched grow over the years. By giving B-Line oversight of our distribution and logistics, we can focus on our core competency as a fresh food producer, and continue to grow by pursuing new business opportunities."
Franklin Jones, CEO and Founder of B-Line, and local B Corp advocate, welcomes the opportunity to collaborate and grow B-Line's delivery services. "SoupCycle's move to the Redd is a chance to join our community of businesses that are deeply committed to growing the local food economy by exploring creative and innovative ways to collaborate. The Redd is quickly becoming a hub of B Corp businesses that are committed to using their businesses as a force for good."
Both companies are Certified B Corporations ("B Corps"), and both now operate out of the new Redd on Salmon campus. The Redd on Salmon Street is a new Ecotrust development located in the heart of Portland's historic Central Eastside designed to support local food enterprises, connect chefs, foodservice directors and entrepreneurs to independent farmers, ranchers and fishers in the region, and help scale a robust, regional food economy across the Pacific Northwest. B-Line is the anchor tenant at the Redd West building on the corner of SE 7th and Salmon, managing the warehouse, cross-docking, office space and delivery logistics, along with other company activities including advertising and promotional services. SoupCycle will occupy a commercial kitchen space at Redd West and take advantage of organic produce and other goods, which are delivered to and stored on-site.
About SoupCycle
SoupCycle was formed in 2008 and has been making from-scratch, organic meals and delivering to homes and offices by bicycle. With operations in Bend, Corvallis and Portland, SoupCycle employs 15 people across all three locations. In 2015, SoupCycle used over 15 tons of organic produce in their products, and has made over 200,000 deliveries, all by bicycle. In 2015, SoupCycle became a Certified B Corporation, join over 65 B Corps in Oregon and over 1,000 B-Corps from over 60 industries in 34 countries, all with one unifying goal: to use business as a force for good.
About B-Line Urban Delivery
B-Line is the missing link in the infrastructure of a sustainable city. Solving the challenges of the "last mile" of a distribution network, B-Line delivers on the promise that business can be a catalyst for social and environmental change. B-Line offers eco-friendly urban delivery, warehousing, advertising and promotional services, as well as recycling for hard-to-recycle plastics. B-Line also transports surplus food to local food pantries as a way to help address hunger and reduce food waste. Since 2009, B-Line's services have helped clients avoid over 150,000 truck delivery miles, and over 150 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, with more than 115,000 miles traveled by the B-Line trike fleet. B-Line currently has 18 employees, including 15 riders.
Here at B-line Urban Delivery, we tackle last-mile delivery challenges for local and regional food producers every day. After all, delicious wild salmon, grains, grass-fed beef, produce, and dry goods don't magically appear in our pantries. Keeping the regional food economy thriving is at the core of the Redd on Salmon Street, which is why we could not be more excited to make it our new home.
Since January, B-line has been headquartered at the Redd's Marble building, where we operate our central-city freight delivery business from a warehouse formerly inhabited by slabs of marble. Now, pallets of hot sauce, granola, and pasta rub elbows with freezers full of grass-fed beef and wild salmon.
The hum of refrigerators putting a chill on local sauerkraut, cranberry juice, and lamb mingles with conversation between suppliers and our sturdy crew of delivery riders dressed head to toe in waterproof gear. And, of course, our fleet of cargo delivery tricycles, each capable of carrying 700 pounds of goods are central to this hub of activity.
From our new home, we continue to do the work we've been accomplishing since 2009 — providing an efficient, nimble last-mile delivery solution into downtown and inner eastside, reducing the truck and van traffic congesting central Portland.
Beyond our daily deliveries, our new space enables us to function as an urban consolidation center for regional food. With more room for dry storage plus a 3,000-square-foot cooler/freezer in the works, we will have the ability to hold hundreds of pallets of local goods. We have a loading dock for large trucks and trailers and can receive everything from multiple pallets down to a few cases, store it, and then combine those goods for delivery by trike or coordinate with distributors to transport to restaurants, groceries, and offices throughout Portland.
For years, Ecotrust and B-line have been hearing that product storage in the heart of Portland can make a huge difference to small and mid-sized food businesses. For rural producers, maintaining a consistent supply of product for an urban clientele is a considerable challenge. Having a place to store large quantities of seasonally harvested product like grass-fed beef in the central city can make a world of difference when responding to weekly demand from chefs.
Likewise, small-batch or specialty products from entrepreneurs hoping to make it onto the shelf at New Seasons will have a place at the Marble. Our solution is to provide these small businesses a place to safely store product, along with access to a pick-and-pack table for efficient order processing.
Sounds pretty basic, but we've gotten an enthusiastic response from small business owners about how great it will be to have one central, easy-to-access place to get down to business.
We are excited to be a part of the growing community of food entrepreneurs at the Redd on Salmon Street, sharing resources, collaborating and keeping the maker spirit and "Produce Row" history of inner industrial Southeast Portland alive. It is the perfect spot for B-line to grow our capacity to meet the needs of the enterprising people who keep us fed and keep Portland on the culinary map.
Let's be honest, though – it's easy to lose sight of that inspiration sometimes when confronted with the daily grind of a busy operation, and there's days when all you can do is keep the trikes running on time (if we're lucky). Every B Corp needs a chance to take some time and focus on what really matters, and why we're doing what we do in the first place. We needed…a retreat.
Lucky us, then, that this past October, Portland played host to the annual B Corp Champions Retreat – a conference of hundreds of B Corps from around the world, each sending representatives to share best practices, network and learn from fellow B Corps, and celebrate the movement. This was no ordinary conference.
With a theme of "Building Bridges," this retreat was all about forging connections between B Corps, building bridges within companies, creating connections between B's and the business world + government, and examining B Corps' responsibility to our global community. Only at the Champions Retreat do you start the day with a run on a trail around Skamania lodge, dive into what it means to create company culture in the morning, dissect an Ursula K LeGuin story in the afternoon, and stay up late into the night with your new B Corp besties, fueled by a bathtub full of B Corp beers!
One of the highlights for B-line was the awards night at Skamania Lodge, in which our founder Franklin Jones received the "B the Change" award for his dedication to promoting the B Corp movement.
Franklin has been pounding the pavement and hitting the speaking circuit in Portland sharing what B Corps are all about and bringing new ones into the fold. He also chaired the "Opening Day Activities" committee, the group helping to plan the tours and community service activities that kicked off the retreat. Three cheers for Franklin!
Some other highlights:
We hosted a group of Aussies and Kiwis before the retreat started – they loved seeing the operation at B-line and now we're dreaming of B-line Down Under!
B-liners Franklin, Dorothy and Sam each led activities on Opening Day.
Sam's group toughed it out doing trail work on Pacific Crest Trail, Dorothy's group weeded the children's garden at Zenger Farm and learned about the awesome enterprise building happening at Portland Mercado (over lunch, naturalmente), and Franklin's group toured a B Corp supply chain, following B-corp products from storage to market with a visit to New Seasons…then down the hatch at newly-minted B Corp Hopworks Urban Brewery!
The final full day of the retreat was a celebration of all things B, and Portland was invited to the party.
Movers and shakers in the B Corp movement shared their wisdom at the B Inspired talks at Crystal Ballroom, where Franklin even got to act out a trike delivery onstage as part of sustainable coffee supply chain with Sustainable Harvest.
B Corps from Hopworks to Ben and Jerry's to Looptworks to New Belgium shared their wares at a street fair in Pioneer Courthouse Square, and then we all got down to the funky stylings of Ural Thomas and the Pain back at the Crystal Ballroom.
We all slept well that following weekend, after many hugs and farewells, one final dance party, and promises to reconnect next year at the 2016 retreat in North Carolina.

Our new digs, 4 blocks down the street at 1140 SE 7th (between Salmon and Taylor), include more than 2.5x more warehouse space, with much more room for dry storage, and, later this spring a shiny new cooler/freezer with 200 pallet slots. It will be easier for trucks to pull in and trikes to roll out of our new facility, plus we'll have co-working space, offices upstairs for B-line and other tenants, and best of all, a community where local and regional food producers can come together.
This new warehouse is an investment in B-line's growth and a partnership with Ecotrust, who owns the building (called "The Marble" after its former occupant, Intrepid Marble) along with the building next door, "The Foundry." Together, they comprise The Redd campus, "a place where young food businesses can spawn, grow, and connect to the region's abundant resources." (Ecotrust).
Read more about The Redd on Salmon Street here. We're so excited to be at the center of a hub designed to keep local and regional food in the heart of our city. The Redd will keep the maker spirit and "produce row" history of inner industrial SE Portland alive with spaces to produce, store, and distribute food. We'll be growing our capacity as an urban consolidation center for food products and more, offering one convenient spot to store, repack, and send out goods into the city, many of them by trike.
We're looking forward to growing and serving you in our new HQ for years to come. Thanks for rolling with us as we reconfigure our operations and begin accepting deliveries at this new location. By spring, we hope to have the warehouse fully built out along with revamped office spaces and work areas. In the meantime, we're making do with shipping containers for cold storage and enjoying working at the marble-topped desks left by the former occupants.
If you're interested in learning more about renting storage, workspace or office space at the Marble, please reach out to Dorothy Mitchell (email@example.com). We'd be happy to send you more information and show you our new home.
One of the most common questions we're asked is "how much does that thing weigh?" or "how much can you carry?". Sometimes a person will offer a guess, but most of the time our trike's huge girth will make even a rough estimate difficult. Although appearing bicycle-like, our trikes are actually much heavier and carry much more than their appearance might suggest.
Our standard trike has a maximum payload of 800 pounds, but given the wide range of goods that we deliver the load can sometimes be as little as 200 pounds, or as much as 1000. Since we combine multiple good from multiple customers in a single delivery route, the box often contains a variety of items of different types. For example, a trike might be carrying 400 pounds of organic produce, 50 pounds of Dave's Killer Bread, and another 250 pounds of Portland Roasting coffee. Sometimes a single office supplies delivery can have as much as 1100 pounds of just paper; other times we fill a trike with high volume/low weight items like styrofoam recycling as part of our B-Cycle program. The trike's weight when empty is just over 500 pounds, but balloons to 1300 when fully loaded. With a 170lb. rider and a large handtruck the gross vehicle weight rises to a whopping 1500 pounds.
All that weight puts tremendous strain on the components, many of which were originally intended for a typical bicycle weighing 30 pounds or less. In the 6 years since our first delivery, we've seen some spectacular component failures, especially in the wheels. The solution, as with our brake system, was to convert to motorcycle-type rims, tires, and spokes. Doing so has made it possible for us to deliver over 30,000 pounds of goods every week, a truly impressive figure.]]>
The last month has been one of confusion, panic, sore muscles, frigid fingers, sweat, and overall exhilaration—my first month delivering for B-line. I knew when I accepted the job that I would be mentally and physically challenged. As I sit here now, thinking about tomorrow's deliveries, I must consider the possibility that it will be the most challenging day of my days as a rider to date. However, it is far more likely that the day will bring me peace, fresh air, serenity, and a crisp awareness of the inner strength that, while eating breakfast, I did not know I possessed.
Every so often, when the weather bites, or whips, or lashes, and I'm sitting on my trike stuck in traffic because this particular through-street doesn't have a bike lane, I wonder why are we doing this? This lunacy: riding a converted pedi-cab pulling up to 700 pounds of cargo and an 80 pound battery through slush, wind, and rain. Then I breathe in the air around me—the exhaust from idling automobiles and delivery trucks, and I remember why.
Nine months ago, I walked across the stage at Arizona State University and awkwardly shook the Dean of the School of Sustainability's hand and accepted my diploma (I was the first on the list to walk and wasn't sure of the tempo or that I had to stop and pose for a photo op). My degree was in Sustainable Urban Dynamics, a focus that emphasized the importance of sustainable land-use planning, local and regional economics, mixed-use development, and my favorite topic, diverse and equitable mobility.
Diverse mobility means that people have options. They have the option to take viable and efficient public transportation, they have the option to walk or ride their bikes and not feel threatened by traffic, and they have the option to drive. Equitable mobility means that every neighborhood, regardless of average income, ethnicity, height, etc. within the city limits has the same transportation options. In order for people in cities to be healthy and happy, the options mentioned above must be available to all.
B-line is taking it one step further; creating a different option not for people to get from point A to point B, but for goods. Goods that we urbanites enjoy every day: produce, bread, coffee, office supplies, bike parts, and so on can be transported to us in the same way we like to transport ourselves. They can be delivered in a way that doesn't taint the streets of the city with pollution. Nor do B-line riders clog up traffic by searching for a place to park and unload, nor endanger the lives of pedestrians. In the time we have been in operation, we have never injured a single pedestrian. Could you say that about delivery trucks?
So far my glorious yet challenging days as a rider have aided me in recognizing just how much work is necessary for people to live truly sustainable lifestyles. Meticulously cleaning and sorting all of your trash into the appropriate bin, riding an hour through rain to get to work, delivering coffee and produce via leg-power is not the easiest way to go about life. Living this way also isn't cheap; for example, buying a cramped LEED-certified home in the city rather than the semi-mansion out in the suburbs, purchasing organic and ethically sourced products rather than the cheapest product on the shelf—these choices are definitely more draining on your bank account. However, these shifts, as difficult or expensive as they may be, are necessary if we want to ensure that future generations enjoy the same amenities as we do (amenities meaning unadulterated natural resources like water, air, and soil).
B-line fits into the sustainability paradigm perfectly. It is not the easiest thing to do: dealing with harsh weather as well as the sheer physical duress. It is also not the cheapest service; our clients could choose to use the traditional, more established and less expensive forms of delivery. However, what we do increases the desirability of our city. It equates to a cleaner city and a safer city. It is with that glimmer of hope that we ride forth – rain or shine – each and every day.]]>

Considering how quickly the Yankees shut Michael Pineda down after finding out about his sore shoulder, it was somewhat surprising to see him throwing just a week after the injury.
However, Joe Girardi cautioned that it is still way too early to expect him back on the mound anytime soon and even went as far as to rule out April.
"That's pretty safe to say, it's the sixth already,'' Girardi told George King of the NY Post.
As for when exactly we might be able to expect him back, Girardi said that's too soon to tell.
"I think it's too early to tell," Girardi told Chad Jennings of the Journal News. "I think it's too early until you see him get off the mound and see how he's feeling and really draw up a plan. How many rehab starts do you think he needs? A lot of it is, how long does it take him to get off a mound?"
"We'll determine by the way he's throwing when he's ready," Girardi said. "Maybe not so much by velocity, but how he's throwing, his command and his location. But velocity is part of his game."
Pineda has now played catch for two straight days and is scheduled to long-toss on Saturday. While Girardi has ruled out April, early May is still on the table.

Shah Rukh Khan to have a working Eid this year
Shah Rukh Khan will miss the festivities in the city as he is shooting for Rohit Shetty's next in Bulgaria
Shah Rukh Khan will spend Eid away from family in Bulgaria where he is currently filming for Rohit Shetty's 'Dilwale'. The star is apparently down with fever, but has ensured that it doesn't disrupt his overseas schedule.

A source says, "They have two more weeks of shoot left in Bulgaria after which they will head to Hyderabad. Since they have a tight schedule, Shah Rukh doesn't want to take a day off despite being unwell. It goes without saying that he won't be able to take part in the festivities back home either."

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – If you didn't already know, the Rio Grande Zoo is only one of two places in the U.S. people can see Tasmanian devils.
The website NewsCastic is giving several reasons why the city is lucky to have them.
- They are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world, weighing up to 27 pounds.
- Tasmanian devils have powerful jaws, biting at 1,200 pounds per square inch.
- They also open their mouths wide when they're scared.
- Tasmanian devils also challenge other devils to fight by giving a sharp sneeze.
- They store fat in their tails so their bodies have something to draw on when food is scarce.

Greg Kahlstorf has cost taxpayers millions for his business antics. He should be denied rental space from the state, and denied a certificate to operate by the FAA. Tenants that live to create problems should be eliminated.

Well Greg you can always get into another fight with Ornstein, the Judges all abhor him. Choose your battles.

Some Wackenhut employees are okay.
But other Wackenhut employees deserve to be sued or beaten like a red-headed step child.
ALL need to take pride in their personal appearance, grooming and hygiene, and at least TRY to hit the gym on a regular basis. Scheduled teeth-brushing is an advancement in civilization that some have neither enjoyed nor evolved too.
Cutting down on Spam and other high cholestrol, fat-generating, cellulite-exploding intake could also improve their personal experiences.

Just one more P.SSSSSSS This is the same person who chargesTHE "KAULAUPAPA" residents (REMEMBER FATHER DAMIEN, NOW SAINT DAMIEN)$300-$500 DOLLARS Round trip to travel in or out of KALUAPAPA). GREG, You have no HILA-HILA (SHAME)

The Federal Gov. should be held accountable for wasting taxpayers money. The U.S. Attorney Bill Shipley should have looked at the evidence and known that there was no case against Mr. Tam Ho. U.S.A. trillions in debt I wonder why?
#8 Oct 17, 2009
My humble apologies. I did not know this about him charging our Kalaupapa People (St. Damien's People) this outrageous, egregious, clearly excessive, unwarranted and unjustified fee for simply flying in or out of their historical residences.
My personal view of SOME of these "security" guards, cannot overcome this compelling point you make here.
YES. I change my mind.
DOWN with Pacific Wings and their trouble-maker Greg Khalstorf.
Congratulations are due and in order for Tam Ho.
#9 Oct 17, 2009
What a waste of taxpayers money to shamefully try to prosecute an upstanding retired police officer on trumped up charges. Greg Khalstorf and his crew of misfits deserves to be sued for every penny they have for their slandering of Mr. Tam Ho. He and his family have had to endure a great deal of stress while defending Mr. Tam Ho's obvious innocence. How this was ever brought to trial boggles my mind. Congratulions to Robert "Butch" Tam Ho!
#10 Oct 17, 2009
Greg Kahlstorf has now spread his wings to the State of New Mexico and Georgia, please be aware of his most confrontational and antagonistic demeanor. It took the courage and fortitude of a retired Police officer to fight the injustice of this evil man, he makes his so-called millions by BULLYING people and companies too afraid to confront his evil ways. Maui residents should be proud that this man and his Ohana took on this "BULLY" and exposed his "sick" ways, my friends who watched the trial observed that Greg Kahlstorf and his band of thieves tried to put on an Academy award winning performance but fortunately the jury was not swayed or fooled by Kahlstorf's antics. Much mahalos... to Mr Silvert and his defense team for such a well prepared case. They EXPOSED the many lies that kahlstorf and his cronies presented. Governor Lingle and Mayor Tavares should permanently furlough this good for "nuthin" pathetic airlines......
Blue Rat.....
#11 Oct 17, 2009
Congratulation to Mr. Tam Ho. Finally, because of this trial the truth came out about Pacific Wings and the workers that will lie for them. I been on Pacific Wings and there are a handful of honest and friendly employees. But, all in all....I found out from a resident in Kalaupapa, Mr. Kahlstorf stopped all Medication that was being sent from Honolulu. Pacific WIngs has been flying the medication down daily for years..I guess he, Mr. kahlstorf does not realize that the residents in Kalaupapa need it and Pacific Wings is the only carrier that goes down there on a daily basis as a scheduled airlines. Mr. Kahlstorf has no heart....I would love to stop his meds. Also, from what I understand, he stopped his staff from using the ramp to help the residents to board the aircraft...He is such a low life and does not care about anything but himself and the money he brings in. Charging them 500.00 for a round trip ticket is his way of hurting them. The residents have never done anything to Pacific Wings. But, he can take their MONEY. I also heard that Pacific Wings will be doing some of the Charters for Saint Damien celebration in Nov. I guess they were forced to use Pacific Wings. I'm sure no one wants to use them. I was flying out on Island Air and pacific Wings has 2 flights daily to Molokai. Guess what...No one flies them...HUH! I wonder why...
Mr. Kahlstorf should take the 2 planes that he has in Hawaii and ship them off to the Mainland where he shipped the others. Yes, it are EAS routes so he is making money..
What goes around comes around and I hope...Sorry I'm sure he did not learn his lesson...
People of Hawaii and Mainland...Do not fly Pacific Wings. They cancel flight to accommodate a charter...They don't care who they scr.W over.

Right on Robert, you were falsely accused!!!!!!!!
#14 Oct 18, 2009
Some of this is true, but charging $500 for trips to KAULAUPAPA is not. It's pretty expensive, somewhere around $200 but still nowhere near $500. I am also thinking that the new GO! Mokulele will not fly down there, and if they did would you expect GO! airlines to help out anybody. Does anybody really expect GO! to start beings altruistic either? Anyway Greg is a real douche but that doesn't make wackenhunt great people either. PS the internet seems to be charging a lot more than if you call them on the phone.
#15 Oct 18, 2009
It's very sad to see how an innocent retired Assistant Police Chief, Robert Tam Ho, who is known to be a man of high integrity, could be falsely charged federally, for doing his job. This is a man who knows the laws and did everything properly when dealing with the lying owner and employees of Pacific Wings Airlines. Apparently, Kahlstorf knows people in high places and made enough noise to launch an attack on Mr. Tam Ho. If the State D.O.T. had taken actions sooner, instead of being afraid of Kahlstorf, all this could have been avoided. I wonder where all the media coverage is now when the truth has been brought out about Pacific Wings. The media crucified Mr. Tam Ho when the story first broke without knowing the facts. Congrats to Tam Ho!

ho ho ho...
#17 Oct 18, 2009
Pacific Wings Owner, Greg Kahlstorf, picked on da wrong local brudda, Butch Tam Ho! Right on Tam Ho, you stood up to this punk and his political connections and made a fool of all the lying scoundrels that were involved in this fiasco. Shakas to Defense Attorney Silvert for exposing the prosecution's witnesses as dishonest, low life scum of the earth. Where's the media now? Almost no coverage in the media when the wrongfully accused Tam Ho is found Not Guilty of all charges. Why's that? I guess it's easier to sensationalize lies than to cover the real truth. Anyways, it's time for Kahlstorf to ride one of his little planes out of Hawaii and STAY out!
#18 Oct 18, 2009
Congrats to Mr. Tam Ho and his Family...This is another example of how some people attempt to abuse the legal system for their own personal gain. How is it that this case took nearly 4 years to come to conclusion? Why is it that the Government chose to even prosecute this ridiculous matter. For Mr. Tam Ho and his family to have to endure this Travesty of Justice is simply unacceptable! Someone needs to be held accountable for the trauma and pain that was inflicted upon a this former Assistant Chief of Police. Not many people dedicate 30 years of their lives to Protecting and Serving their Community. For the Government to treat this man this way wreaks of corruption.
#19 Oct 19, 2009
The conduct of the FBI in this case was unprofessional and dishonest.
The conduct of the personnel in the US Attorney's Office involved in this case was even more shameful and disgusting. They had to have known that the testimony of their key prosecution witnesses were highly questionable, but they still went ahead with this lame prosecution.
It would be interesting to hear the comments of the jurors in this case. I think their comments would prove to be highly embarassing to the federal prosecutors involved with this prosecution.
#20 Oct 19, 2009
The jury in this case can rest assured that they made the right and just decision. This case should never have been pursued. The initial reviews were correct, Tam Ho was cleared by several previous reviews, including the local feds. The question remains, who caused this top-down pressure to pursue a worthless case?

I know everyone is focused on gratitude, in addition to the food of course 🙂 but I'd like to throw something out there for you to think about..
Being grateful for what you have in your life is wonderful, but it bypasses someone very important–you.
Don't miss this opportunity to acknowledge your own awesomeness. And if you're not feeling very awesome, find one thing about yourself that you know is great and let yourself swim in appreciation of that.
Bask in your own amazingness.
Stop looking at the road still yet to travel and turn the hell around so you can see how far you've come.
Whether it's going great or it sucks, it took a lot to get to this point and you did it. No matter where you are in this monment, you traveled a great distance to get here. You deserve to be acknowledged for it.
Breathe that in for a moment.
And if you are an entrepreneur then you should throw yourself a party because that, my love is pure bravery. If you're a parent, then you're doing one of the most difficult and important jobs on the planet. How can you not applaud yourself for that? If you're raising kids and an entrepreneur then I am in total and complete awe of you, and you should feel pretty great about yourself because you are in the Superhero category. And iwhatever role you're in it's time to know that YOU ARE AMAZING.
The more appreciation and love you can give to yourself the more available you are for life, for others, for the fulfillment of your purpose.
Love After Love
by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
This Thanksgiving I invite you to start the journey of giving your heart back to itself.
Because we are the ones we've been waiting for.

Dassie's Thanksgiving Stuffing
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I've been thinking about this contest and I can hear my mother saying" What, that was the recipe?...why didn't you submit something like my stuffing, my stuffing is perfect." Her stuffing is perfect, it originates from my grandma Bella's ritz cracker stuffing, which was ritz crackers, butter, carrots, onions celery, My mom and I have adapted it and worked on it for years now, this our best incarnation. We don't stuff, and have started baking this in a spring form pan, so you can cut slices, which is especially nice the day after Thanksgiving, you can cut slices thin enough to put on a turkey sandwich. —Aliwaks
Serves 10
- 1 stick butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 or 4 fresh sage leaves chopped fine
- 2 links Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 green apple, peeled , diced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 4 carrots, shredded & drained
- 4 celery stalks, peeled,grated & drained
- 1 large onion, shredded and drained
- 2 sleeves or low salt ritz crackers, smashed to bits
- 2 cups cornbread, crumbled
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1 cup toasted pinenuts
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup turkey/chicken stock (or more)
- Add herbs & cinnamon to butter and melt slowly
- Saute apples, ginger & sausage together until sausage is fully cooked
- whisk eggs together
- In a LARGE bowl, mix cornbread, ritz cracker crumbs, cherries and pine nuts together
- Add carrots, celery, onions, & sausage apple mixture mix it all together well (best to use clean hands, don't bother with utensils)
- Pour in butter and eggs and mix in well
- add stock until the mixture has the texture of meatloaf ( if you like a drier stuffing, add less stock, a wetter one add more)
- Pack well in to a 12" springform pan and bake @ 350 for 1 hour
- let cool slightly before un springing the pan, cut into slices for serving
- Absolutely amazing on a sandwich with fresh turkey, cranberry sauce, mayonnaise & arugula
- This recipe was entered in the contest for The Best Recipe or Technique Your Mother Taught You

And I didn't care.
I didn't.
*When I discovered there actually are raisins in it…odd that I didn't seem to wonder about them before now…but they all hide in the bottom quarter of the tub!
One more than one occasion I have woken up at 3:00AM, hungry, and craved nothing by cold kabocha (surprise, surprise?) eaten directly from the fridge.
And whose to say why, but despite bringing a very well thought out lunch, I ended up eating pasta with an impromptu sauce of nutritional yeast and water, heated in the microwave because it was the only thing I wanted. (And I kind of want it again right now.)
If you haven't figured it out, I pretty much eat based on my ever-changing cravings. (God help the man who lives with me when/if I ever am a pregnant woman!) It was the random passage of "I could really go for some eggplant…and tomatoes(!) right now…" through my mind that led to the delicious creation that is this:From eggplant, I thought of caponata…and immediately rushed to the store for a new jar of capers. After all, you can't have caponata without capers. [I decided I could have it without raisins or parsley or anything else they told me I might need.]
This Mushroom & Eggplant Caponata Pasta (or "Capon-asta") is one of the quickest, easiest, and most versatile dishes I've ever come up with. You can substitute another veggie for the mushrooms, or add more vegetables or tomatoes if you like a 'looser' sauce.Dice up an onion, and get it going on the stove with some minced garlic. (I used pre-minced.) As I rarely cook with oil, I tend to 'steam' my onions with a little water in the pan, but you can use a wee bit of olive oil if you like.
Once the aromatics are softened, add in about 4 cups of cubed eggplant (about 1/2 lb.*
*I almost just wrote "about 1/2 of a 1 lb. eggplant" and then did the math
I had a bunch of mushrooms in the fridge (they are a constant craving these days), so I chopped up about 2 cups worth and tossed them in the pan, along with about 2 Tbsp. or so of Italian seasoning, some crushed red pepper flakes, a bit of salt, and a lot of pepper.
Let those cook down, adding a bit more water to the pan to help them "steam" if necessary. Once they are pretty much cooked, stir in a can of fire-roasted crushed tomatoes. (I love the Muir Glen ones…I could just eat them in a bowl. And we sell them for only $1.12 at work.)Stir that up, and add in 1 1/2 Tbsp. capers (plus a little of the 'jar juice'), and a couple of tablespoons of chopped olives if you happen to have some chillin' out in your fridge.
This is delicious right away, but as with soups and stews, I also like to let it sit for a bit to let the flavors meld, and then reheat it for dinner.Man alive, just looking at these pictures is making me want some more, right now.
1 cup diced sweet onion (about 1/2 medium)
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups cubed eggplant (about 1/2 lb.)
2 cups chopped mushrooms
2-3 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
crushed red pepper
salt + pepper
1 15-oz. can fired-roasted crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp. capers
2 Tbsp. chopped olives (optional)
4 oz. spaghetti–or other pasta of your choice–cooked
1. Saute in a wee bit of oil, or steam with a little water, onion and garlic over medium heat in a fairly large saucepan.
2. One onion begins to soften, add eggplant, mushrooms, and seasonings, stirring well to coat. [Add water to the pan if necessary.]
3. Once eggplant and mushrooms are nearly cooked, stir in tomatoes, capers, and olives. Allow to simmer for 5 or so minutes to let the flavors come together…but not so long that the sauce has reduced too much (and is too thick).
4. Serve over pasta!
Note: This tastes lovely right away…and takes all of 20 minutes to cook…but it's even better the next day.

I should probably clarify a bit. This third area has been suspect to be part of the overall 2-3 tumors all located in the same quadrant of my left breast. It is just that this spot was not found in the original Ultrasound which was biopsied back in January, so we did not know for sure if it was malignant until now. So it is not like it is some new cancer spot, it is just that it would have been easier for the surgeon to say, "Yes, we can do a lumpectomy", if this area was benign. Wishful thinking, I guess. It is the furthest away from the nipple and so makes the whole area to be removed longer than hoped. The other concern is that it is very close to, or right at, the chest wall. So I am trying not to worry more about all this until I hear from the surgeon. Hard to do, though!
