Insurance Coverage
No two insurance claims are identical. Each involves a unique set of facts that, when viewed as a whole, determines when and to what extent a claim is covered. As a result, the question of coverage is typically the subject of intense disagreement between the parties. With thousands or millions of dollars on the line, it is important to retain knowledgeable and experienced representation to effectively protect your interests in any dispute.At Skawski Law Offices, our work begins when a claim arises and does not stop until a resolution is reached. Our attorneys conduct a thorough review of the claim file and the relevant policy language to prepare an in-depth coverage opinion. When possible, we resolve disputes without litigation, either through direct negotiations or alternative dispute resolution. However, if necessary, our insurance attorneys possess extensive experience in state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels, allowing us to aggressively litigate our client's contractual and extra-contractual rights and obligations to obtain a favorable result. We tailor our plan to meet the specific needs and objectives of our clients, whether that involves obtaining contracted for benefits under a policy on behalf of an insured or a declaration of no coverage on behalf of the insurer.
The attorneys at Skawski Law Offices are committed to providing exceptional representation and guidance in coverage disputes throughout the country. Our firm is familiar with and knowledgeable of a variety of insurance products, having advised clients on issues arising under Commercial General Liability, Employer Liability and Worker's Compensation, Commercial Auto, and Property policies, and with claims arising out of construction defects, workplace accidents, personal injury, premises liability, wrongful death, and civil rights violations, among other issues. Our attorneys stay abreast of recent developments and trends throughout the country, allowing us to effectively advocate for changes in the law when appropriate.

Cerner Implements Surescripts Prescription Price Transparency Functionality Within the EHR
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, is collaborating with Surescripts to integrate their Real-Time Prescription Benefit functionality into the Cerner Millennium®electronic health record (EHR). Surescripts Real-Time Prescription Benefit will integrate directly into the physician's workflow to provide patient-specific prescription information at the point of care.
"Surescripts is excited to join forces with Cerner to provide physicians with actionable intelligence about prescription pricing and therapeutic alternatives," said Mike Pritts, chief product officer, Surescripts. "The ability for physicians to access patient-specific prescription pricing information directly in their workflow supports a more meaningful dialogue and medication decision between the patient and the provider and is a huge step toward improving medication adherence."
Prescription benefit information at the point of care will help facilitate engagement between individuals and their physicians to find the prescription that fits their needs at the right price. Within Cerner Millennium, Real-Time Prescription Benefit renders prescription price transparency by leveraging information from pharmacy benefit managers that represent nearly two-thirds of U.S. patients. For people whose plans are connected, the functionality can provide the patient's out-of-pocket cost for the selected prescription as well as identify therapeutic alternatives and patient specific coverage alerts such as prior authorization flags, quantity restrictions, deductibles and step therapy requirements. This information at the point of care can help avoid potential "sticker shock" at the pharmacy, improving medication adherence and building stronger relationships between person and physician.
"Cerner and Surescripts are transforming prescription price transparency at the point of care to improve the consumer and provider experience," said Zane Burke, president, Cerner. "Each person needs to be at the center of their own health and care. With this new functionality in the EHR, not only will people have added visibility to their choices of prescriptions, but individuals can work together with their physicians to create a medication plan they can adhere to and afford."
Cerner clients will be able to integrate Real-Time Prescription Benefit into Cerner Millennium, with the first health systems implementing the prescription price transparency functionality in March 2018. The functionality will be added to Cerner ePrescribe™, enabled seamlessly within the clinical workflow and free of charge for all clients. Health systems that choose to enable the functionality will provide doctors with prescription information to discuss with patients and their families right in the examination room, doctor's office, clinic or wherever care may be provided.

Frederick Aloysius Weld, third son of Humphrey Weld and Maria Christina Clifford, daughter of Charles, sixth Lord Clifford of Chudleigh, was born and baptised at Chideock Manor, near Bridport, Dorset, England, on 9 May 1823. His ancestry was distinguished and its religion pervasive.
Raised in a closely knit West Country Catholic circle, Weld's upbringing and education moulded his principled and moralistic outlook on life. After nine years at Stonyhurst, the Jesuit college in Lancashire endowed by his grandfather Thomas Weld, Frederick enrolled in 1841 at the university of Fribourg in Switzerland. There he studied philosophy, chemistry, languages and law. The most important influence was that of his tutor, Father B. H. Freudenfeld, whom Weld always regarded as the wisest man he had known. Dissuaded by Freudenfeld from an army career, Weld followed the example of his cousins, Charles Clifford and William Vavasour, and sailed from Plymouth on the Theresa on 29 November 1843, reaching Wellington, New Zealand, on 22 April 1844.
This shy and gentle 20-year-old, delicate in health, fond of literature, music and painting, and possessing limited capital resources, seems an unlikely subject for a success story. But while the colonial Catholic network was an important support, Weld's achievements sprang from his adaptability, enterprise and application, and, he would have added, from divine guidance.
During his first seven years in New Zealand Weld's prime concern was with sheep. In partnership with Charles Clifford, Weld established two sheep stations during the 1840s, Wharekaka in Wairarapa in 1844 and Flaxbourne in Marlborough in 1847. The third Clifford–Weld property, Stonyhurst in North Canterbury, was located on Weld's advice but founded in 1851 by Clifford during Weld's first return visit to England. His pamphlet Hints to intending sheep-farmers in New Zealand (1851) ran to four editions, and is invaluable for its insight into colonial sheepfarming. Although Wharekaka was sold in the early 1850s, the partnership continued to run the South Island stations until the 1880s. Weld was always the junior partner, owning no more than a quarter of the assets.
He relished the challenge of establishing these stations, but found their later development mundane. He commented in May 1855: 'colonizing, exciting enough in its early struggles becomes very milk & waterish when it resolves itself into merely going certain rounds to visit sheep stations and staying a week in this settlement & a week in that. The tone too of the Colony alters, there are new faces & mercenary ideas, different from those of the adventurers of the early days – friends too get sick or get disgusted – die or go away.'
There was little likelihood that Weld would vegetate, however. He and his cousin Clifford were determined that there should be no discrimination against Catholics in New Zealand. Both were active in the Wellington Settlers' Constitutional Association and associated with English politicians lobbying for a representative constitution. Weld returned to the colony in December 1852, soon after news had arrived that the New Zealand Constitution Act had received the royal assent. Feeling that those who had worked to upset the old system were honour bound to help start the new one, Weld stood unopposed for the Wairau constituency in 1853, but declined to enter provincial politics. While opposed to undue centralisation, Weld contended that the central government should be superior and disapproved of excessive provincialism. Later, in his Notes on New Zealand affairs (1869), he held that the corruption caused by provincialism led to the instability of colonial politics.
Weld's political career was an erratic one. He was one of a group of southerners who converged on Auckland for the opening of the General Assembly in 1854. With James Edward FitzGerald and Henry Sewell he became one of the unofficial executive councillors comprising the 'mixed ministry', through which the Assembly vainly sought to bring in responsible government. In spite of this failure Weld viewed the situation positively: 'I cannot help feeling that there is a design of God in this sudden unsought for & unexpected crisis of my affairs – what it may end in I don't know – but what with Clifford as Speaker myself minister & several of the members Catholics I must say the prospects of full fair play for religion in NZ seem secure'.
Nevertheless he made other plans before Parliament met again. Still hankering after a military career, he resigned his seat but reached England too late for the Crimean War. He returned to New Zealand on New Year's Day 1858, and in June was elected again for Wairau.
In the spring he returned to England, and married Filumena Mary Anne Lisle Phillipps on 3 March 1859 in the private chapel of her family home at Leicester. There were 13 children of the marriage. After his death she entered Saint Scholastica Priory, which the Welds had largely financed, and died there in April 1903.
A severe attack of typhoid fever delayed Weld's return to New Zealand until February 1860. He joined the ministry headed by Edward Stafford as a member of the Executive Council, and in November 1860 became minister of native affairs. There was no marked change of policy for he saw the Waitara conflict as simply an unlawful assertion of a quasi-sovereignty. It was, he wrote, the 'painful duty of the Government to resist this separate authority & division of empire especially when as at Taranaki it has been asserted by force of arms.'
Weld's standpoint on race relations and cultural conflict had been shaped during his early years in Wairarapa. 'At all risks be just; at all risks be firm' was his credo. But when Māori interests cut across European priorities, there was no question of justice. In the conflicts of the 1840s and the 1860s Weld believed that anything less than a resolute assertion of British supremacy would entail the ruin of the native race and of the colony for many years to come.
When Stafford's ministry was defeated in July 1861, Weld returned to Canterbury where he had purchased over 300 acres some 30 miles north of Christchurch. During the latter half of 1861 he was happy designing the 16-roomed kauri homestead and landscaping the gardens. Brackenfield estate remained in Weld's hands until financial difficulties forced a sale in 1878.
In October 1864 the insistence of the British government that imperial regiments be paid for by the New Zealand government caused the resignation of the Whitaker–Fox ministry. Weld, who had deplored Governor George Grey's handling of the Waitara issue, believed that colonists were being asked to resolve a crisis caused by imperial ineptitude. He believed that New Zealand politics were 'rather too dirty a game to be pleasant', but his sense of duty and his indignation led him to form his 'self-reliant ministry' in November 1864. He argued that only by sending back the imperial troops would colonists control their internal affairs. He advocated better equipment for colonial troops, roadmaking in the disturbed districts, and the confiscation of Māori land.
Weld's personal reputation secured support at first, but self-reliance depended on speedy military success, which the wrangle between Grey and Lieutenant General Duncan Cameron prevented. The ministry had little success. The removal of the seat of government to Wellington offended Aucklanders. More damaging, the confiscation of 1.2 million acres of Waikato land on 17 December 1864 left a legacy of bitterness, which has lasted to the present day. Undermined by provincial opposition, petty politicking, ill health, an empty exchequer and Grey's duplicity, the ministry resigned on 12 October 1865.
With his health adversely affected by the strain of office, Weld retired from politics in January 1866 and left the colony in April 1867. He was to return only once, for business reasons in 1874. His sojourn in New Zealand spanned 23 years; his contribution to the colony's development was substantial. In addition to his pastoral and political attainments, Weld had undertaken a number of explorations in the northern half of the South Island, the most successful of which shortened the journey between Nelson and Christchurch to a comfortable six days. As a yachtsman, racehorse owner, justice of the peace, Catholic benefactor, and first president of the Canterbury Acclimatisation Society, Weld's involvement in community affairs was considerable. Moreover, as his watercolours indicate, this versatile Victorian also contributed to New Zealand's artistic heritage.
Weld was merely 43 when he and his family left New Zealand. Two years later he embarked on an 18 year career as a colonial governor. Appointed first to Western Australia (1868–74), he then saw service in Tasmania (1875–80), before being appointed to the Straits Settlements. He had been awarded the CMG in 1875, and was promoted KCMG in 1880 and GCMG in 1885. In the mid 1870s he had also been made a papal knight. Sir Frederick Weld retired reluctantly in October 1887 but maintained an active involvement in Empire through the Royal Colonial Institute and the Imperial Federation League. In March 1891 he returned to the Straits Settlements as a director of the Pahang Exploration and Development Company. The fever which he contracted on this final mission cost him his life. He died at Chideock on 20 July 1891. His long career encompassed major changes, but he never deviated from the religious and cultural values of his upbringing.

Finagling Ravioli with an Egg Inside
My significant other has gotten it into his head that Italian food is some kind of a cop-out. I don't know where it comes from, but I'm pretty sure when he hears Italian food, he thinks boil pasta, throw canned tomato sauce on top, possibly with some meat or cheese to finish the dish and you're done. As a result and much to my chagrin, I have a very difficult time convincing him to go out for Italian food.
In order to finagle a dinner at Osteria Mozza, I had to use my birthday dinner – no input from him, all my choice. Knowing I wouldn't be able to convince him to try the pasta tasting menu (everyone at the table has to participate) I very carefully selected one pasta dish to add to the selections for the evening – fresh ricotta and egg ravioli. It was mentioned in almost every review (both professional and in the blog and Yelp worlds) and I generally fall in love with any dish that serves up a runny egg yolk. In this case that yolk comes from boiling ravioli with a whole egg yolk inside, just barely poaching the yolk in the process.
At the time, and still to this day, Osteria Mozza is not the easiest Saturday night reservation to secure. We ended up with a table at 10pm. Not a problem for us as we like to eat on the late side, but a huge problem for the fresh ricotta and egg ravioli. They had run out. It's a popular dish and eating on the later side of things means risking the kitchen running out of favorites.
Of course it was still an amazing meal watching Nancy Silverton at work behind the mozzarella bar and eating the tenderest pasta I have ever been served. Even the "Italian food is a cop-out" boyfriend was impressed. Though in spite of the great meal, a strange, insatiable craving was set off in me for pasta and runny egg yolks.
Thank goodness for the internet. Batali + egg yolk ravioli = exact recipe I needed to satisfy that craving at home. Of course my homemade pasta can't rival that found at Osteria Mozza, nevertheless the ricotta filling with runny egg yolk was completely satisfying.
If you can find it, do use sheep's milk ricotta. If not, cow's milk is a fine substitute. Definitely make your own pasta dough as you'll need its quick cooking time to make sure your egg yolk doesn't overcook and become hard. Two of these huge raviolis were enough per person, but if you're hungry, maybe plan for three. They can be a bit addictive.
Uova da Raviolo (Ravioli with an Egg Inside)
Adapted from Mario Batali (adaption includes leaving out half of a truffle – making the recipe a more affordable, though slightly less luxurious at-home version)
Makes 6 large raviolis
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated, plus more for garnishing pasta
1/2 cup fresh sheep's milk ricotta
1/2 cup spinach, blanched, drained and chopped
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 recipe basic pasta dough, recipe follows
6 very fresh eggs
6 tablespoons butter
Combine the parmesan, ricotta and spinach. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Start with a third of the pasta dough and roll it out to the thinnest setting on a pasta rolling machine. From the thin pasta sheets, cut 12 squares about six inches in length (roll out more of the dough if you need it). Set six squares on a tray dusted with flour and cover with plastic wrap. Divide the ricotta mixture evenly between the remaining six squares, placing it in mounds in the center of each square. Use the back of a spoon to create a well for the egg yolk in each mound. Carefully break an egg into a small bowl, and transfer one yolk and a bit of white into the center of each well. Don't break the yolk! Repeat for the remaining squares. Cover each filled square of pasta with an unfilled square, and press the edges together with fingers to seal.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan. Gently lower each ravioli into the boiling water to cook for two minutes. Remove from the water and place into the sauté pan with the butter. Add a generous grating of parmesan, sauté for one to two minutes and serve.
Batali's Basic Pasta Dough
3 1/2 cups flour, with more as needed
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Place the flour in a mound and make a large well in the center. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and olive oil together. Pour the egg mixture into the well in the flour. Slowly start incorporating the flour into the eggs without breaking the well. The mixture should start to come together when half of the flour is incorporated. When all of the flour is incorporated, start kneading the dough, adding more flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. Knead the dough for about five minutes until the surface is smooth and just the slightest bit sticky. Flatten the dough into a disc shape, wrap with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out for the raviolis.

I never would've imagined eggs inside of pasta, very interesting. Much to my wife's chagrin I go the same route as your significant other. She always wants to go out for pasta and I always say why order what we can make. I think the problem lies in the fact that she orders the same thing she prepares and then complains that it isn't as good as her own.

A leading health expert has criticised Treasurer Joe Hockey and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann for being ''role models who should know better'', after the pair were seen smoking in public.
The president of the Australian Council on Smoking and Health, Mike Daube, said politicians had a responsibility to act as exemplars and Mr Hockey should "rethink his inappropriate public behaviour".
On Friday, Channel Nine aired images of Mr Hockey and Mr Cormann lighting up cigars - widely considered symbols of power and success - only days before the government is expected to deliver a tough federal budget that could include cuts to welfare and a rise in the fuel excise.
This month it was reported that the two ministers smoke cigars together in a private courtyard at Parliament House immediately after question time on the days that Parliament sits.
Professor Daube said it was particularly ''contradictory'' for the Treasurer to be smoking in public only months after confirming a $5 billion tax rise on tobacco to be introduced over the next four years.
''Mr Hockey has done absolutely the right thing in raising the tobacco tax so it's a shame he is spoiling that by inappropriate role modelling. He is happy to use the harms of smoking as a rationale for the tax so maybe he should gve a bit more thought to his own example.
''What Mr Hockey does in his private is his own business, but he is a public figure and we don't need treasurers promoting smoking,'' Professor Daube said.

Six months ago, LinkedIn launched a new feature called Endorsements, which is located in the "Skills & Expertise" section near the bottom of your profile.
Endorsements let your connections vote up your skills and areas of expertise. Your skills are then ranked and re-ranked based on how many people have endorsed them, with their profile pictures appearing next to each skill. Your connections can also add new skills to your profile that they'd like to endorse.
In March, LinkedIn announced that more than 1 billion endorsements had been given to 58 million professionals.
"Skill endorsements are a great way to help build your professional brand. In fact, you're four times more likely to be viewed on LinkedIn if you've been endorsed," says Peter Rusev, associate product manager at LinkedIn.
But not all people agree that the feature is useful. Some say it can be a false representation of your skills, since connections you may not know well can vote up any skill and add new ones that you may not want on your profile. Some LinkedIn users have resorted to using the feature in gest.
Luckily, turning off LinkedIn Endorsements is easy. Here's how to do it.
[Want more LinkedIn tips, tricks and analysis? Check out CIO.com's LinkedIn Guide.]
How to Turn Off LinkedIn Endorsements
In the main menu under "Profile" select "Edit Profile." Scroll to the Skills & Expertise section and click the pencil icon.
From the drop-down menu, choose "No, do not show my endorsements." This will remove the Endorsements section from your profile. To turn them back on, navigate to the same drop-down menu and select the other option.
If you don't want to turn off Endorsements, but want to edit the skills and expertise that appear, do so by clicking the pencil icon. An "X" will appear to each skill; click the X to remove the skill from your Endorsements.

The Council should make Shay take an oath to tell the truth before she makes statements to them at Council meetings. Didn't she tell Ms. Yukimura she had "done" murder cases during her tenure as the Prosecutor? Wish Yukimura had asked her to name the defendant(s). I don't think there has been a murder trial since she took office.

lol @ calls for FBI investigations...get real. The FBI would look at the evidence and the alleged wrong-doing and laugh at the people begging for their time. What are they going to investigate? Think they care if a county prosecutor asked his deputy to tape his conversation with a witness and ask questions about the insides of Bynum's home? Hell, it's the FBI, they do the same thing, only they tap phones and bug rooms. Hell, call the FBI and you might be giving Jake Delaplane an impromptu job interview to work for the FBI.
I mean, have you thought about how rediculous you sound? Please investigate our politicians for small-time county-level petty corruption that involves no evidence of money or drugs?

I see similarities in the alleged westside rapist killer Wilson and the alleged Lauren Kagawa killer Bonachita.
The top dogs cover up for these people and some try to punish these criminals. Wilson was sent back to prison many times for parole violations and when his parole was up, unsolved murdered women on Kauai occurred once again in 2010. Until a certain few that know what really happened to Wilson made the Murders stop on Kauai once again.
In the Bonachita case, he has been arrested many times after Kagawa was murdered. Does that sound familiar, but wait a certain person stated that superficial wounds and the last person who droped Kagawa home where she died was not a suspect. Does thatthat sound familiar to the Westside unsolved rape and murders.
This is in retaliation for what KPD does not want to be embarrassed about. Just ask Dayne Gonsalves and Kraestfer Pinkerton how the corrupt operate their code of conduct to committ criminal acts in retaliation. It's standard operating procedure on how they abuse their position and power so they can trump up false charges and set a person up.
All this can be read in KPD blue (a book written by Anthony Sommer) and Andy Parx News, other information is confidential to the sources - April 24, 2012 at 1:38 PM

The 7 lives that were killed because of the Ka Loko dam breach would be alive today had 20 people of kauai complain and file reports to the federales about Pluegher, County of Kauai, and the State of Hawaii for their roles in this mass murder of Kauai Residents.
Pluegher, the County of Kauai and the State of Hawaii departments were found guilty and paid a small amount of money. None of the persons who are held responsible for this mass murder has been sent to prison.
The white collar crime that is being committed through pohaku and strategic justice partners is just a tiny part of the bigger problem. We have a meth and prescription pill epidemic here on Kauai. Who, what, where, when, why, and how is this not being the number one priority on Kauai. We have a law that states that you cannot be at a state or county park or beach from 11pm to 6am but is this really being enforced. These places are where the ice heads hang out at and forget about we won't bother you if you're fishing.

Kamakele: what might warrant FBI involvement is Iseri-Carvalho and Delaplane's procurement code violation as outlined in this blog on April 21. That for profit company Delaplane is the agent for is registered in Nevada. If Pohaku participants deposit money at Bank of Hawaii on Kauai for that company - it sounds like interstate commerce to me.

Or maybe she has done well to network and step up over the years that she has worked as a public defender and more recently at a prosecuting attorney. One of things that people don't like about Shaylene is that she is bold and direct. Sometimes, maybe too direct for some peoples' likings. I've seen many changes in the OPA as compared to years past and I think that she and her staff have done a good job. Perhaps too much grumbling and obsession with the witch hunt. Get a life.

The Witch Hunt
Scene 1
Shaylene: I want to do something good for the community to show my appreciation for the trust they have shown in me by electing me the Prosecuting Attorney for the County of Kauai.
Jake: I know, make me your First Deputy.
Shaylene: That's a great idea. I know that you're inexperienced and not very bright, but you're just like me. Honest, sincere and hardworking. Okay, it's a deal.
Jake: I have a great idea. Let's start a diversion program. We'll call it "stoned".
Shaylene: Hmmm. The name needs some work. Let's give it a Hawaiian name.
Jake: Kalani?
Shaylene: Sigh.
Jake: Kapaa?
Scene 2
Jake: I found a way cool company on the Internet. It's called Strategic Justice.
Shaylene: Catchy. What do they do?
Jake: They're full service. They set up your diversion program and they only charge $200 for each participant.
Shaylene: That's a lot of money. What about the defendants who can't pay.
Jake: I guess that's why it's Strategic Justice, you know,targeted for a certain income group that has proven to be less likely to get caught committing a crime and more likely to give you money for your campaign if you let them off the hook.
Shaylene: I'm shocked that you would suggest such an unfair model designed to discriminate against the poor. But, I'm also intrigued by the privatization of a program that sounds eerily similar to the court's probation program. I guess you could call me a compassionate conservative.
Jake: Okay. Hey, another cool feature is that we don't have to worry about those pesky ethics and procurement laws . . . (fade to the dark side) - April 25, 2012 at 8:34 PM

Ceviche has been one of those dishes I have wanted to make for a very long time. And now I can't stop. I like it as the illustrated recipe above, which has a great balance of spice and fruitiness. I have tried other versions as well but this one is so far my favorite.
My recipe is based on a ceviche I was treated to on my last day of 2013. The host made it with cod, which was excellent and he also included freshly cooked shrimps, which I haven't. The lime ratio I got from Michael Ruhlman's gorgeous looking Red Snapper Ceviche recipe as it sounded like a good measure. My recipe suggests monkfish but it works with any other white firm sea fish such as cod, tilapia, halibut etc.
1 lb (about 1/2 kg) fresh monkfish*, whole or fillets
1/2 cup (120 ml) lime juice (4-6 limes, dep. on the fruit's juiciness you might need more or less)
1/2 shallot
one jalapeño
one mango
one avocado
If not using fillets, bone and remove skin from the fish. Rinse. Cut the fillets into small pieces (approximately 1/2″ cubes). Chop the shallot very fine. Place fish and shallots in a bowl and cover with lime juice. Make sure everything is evenly coated. The process can go quite quickly and some say it may be done in 10 minutes. All depends on how thin or thick your pieces are. I often let it marinate for 2-3 hours before I serve it. During this time, keep it cool in the refrigerator. You may check on it and stir it around a little every so often. When ready, the fish should be white and not translucent.
Just before serving: remove the seeds and chop the jalapeño finely. Cut the mango and avocado into small cubes. Place everything including the fish in a large serving bowl. Season with salt. Decorate with plenty of fresh cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips or as I sometimes do, thin knäckebröd.
* To be on the safe side it's a good thing to get frozen fish or even freeze the fish for 2 – 3 days before making ceviche. The freezing will kill any possible parasites in the fish. I have had good results both ways. Please note that the fish, frozen or not still has to be of good quality. Here is an old article at New York Times about it.
Before buying any fish check with Seafood Watch for the most sustainable options.

We finally got around to buying its replacement last month, a Waring Pro Double Waffle Maker (Model WMK600). We bought it at Sam's Club for $64.88. That seems to be a pretty good price to what I've seen online so I thought I'd let you know in case you were in the market for one. [Standard Disclaimer]
I have used it twice and I'm pleased with it's performance.
Some of the things I like about it are:
- Can do twice as many waffles in the same amount of time. That's my favorite part because no one wants to be sitting around waiting for waffles on a Saturday morning.
- It has audible and visual signals to let you know when it is preheated and when a waffle is finished cooking.
- It has a variable control for how crispy you want them.
- It is entertaining to flip the rotating part. Yes, I still play with my food.
- The non-stick cooking surfaces area seasoned well.
- The exterior surface is easy to clean.
- It is a bit bulky and takes up storage space, but most waffle makers do.
- The first time I used it, the top part popped open during cooking but I might have slightly over filled it.
Update 12/26/10: I have now been using this waffle maker for three months at least every other weekend. It has worked like a champ and turns out some great waffles.
I have one of those, "Is it just me?" type of questions.
For pancakes, I prefer real maple syrup, Grade B if I have a choice. But for waffles , I have the hots for Ms. Butterworth or other "regular" syrup as Trevor calls it.
Maple syrup just doesn't taste right on waffles to me. Is it just me?

He died a billionaire at 56yrs of Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:
I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others' eyes my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".
When a person goes into the operating room, he will realise that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading -"Book of Healthy Life". Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends.
Treat yourself well. Cherish others.
As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same; Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and distance is the same, and we get to the same destination. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - the hangover is the same; Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq ft - loneliness is the same.
You will realise, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - you go down with it.
Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth, that is true happiness!!
- Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.
- Best awarded words in London ... "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."
- The One who loves you will never leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on.
- There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it.
- You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage!
- Sunlight
- Rest
- Exercise
- Diet
- Self Confidence and
- Friends
Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life.

I love bread pudding but, I'll admit, I'm lazy about baking sometimes. For some strange reason I woke up this morning with a taste for bread pudding but did not feel up to actually making some. I knew if I made a whole pan, I'd probably end up eating most of it. Plus, I only had one egg left in the frig.
You know how I love quick recipes made in a mug - didn't I show you a recipe for chocolate cake in a mug some time ago? I remembered that last year I also found this recipe for instant bread pudding you make in a mug and cook in the microwave. It's actually not too bad and today it hit the spot. I've tried it with egg beaters and it's okay that way too. Works in a pinch. And it's so much fun to watch it cook.
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. sugar (optional)
1 slice of whole grain bread
optional favorites - raisins, chopped apple,
cinnamon, vanilla
Break egg into a mug, and beat with a fork. Add the milk and sugar to stir
(and any optional ingredients). Tear up one piece of bread into
the mug, and with a fork, press the bread pieces into the egg/milk mixture to
moisten. Make sure optional ingredients are mixed well.
Microwave for one minute, and then continue cooking but check every 20 - 30 seconds until you see
the bread pudding rising out of the mug.

Happy Day 24: Stuck in My Head
I love music. I have to listen to it all the time. (And the louder the better!) :O) But music has a big impact on my attitude and I'm so affected by my surroundings that I can go from mood to mood with a switch of a song on the radio. Are you that way?? If I hear a song about a homeless child I'm ready to go home and sell everything we own to help somehow. ...Which is why I have to be careful about which songs I listen to. :O)
A while back I heard a song, I can't even remember where, and melodically it was just hauntingly beautiful, one of the best I've ever heard. However, the lyrics were not at all good, the kind of song I would usually shut off immediately because my heart is so offended by it. But for some reason I didn't, and I kept listening to it. And it made me angry and it made me feel kind of dark, but I kept listening to it, over and over because it was so beautiful and addicting. I think it created a little piece of darkness in my heart that got a proverbial ball rolling until one day I was like: "wait, what am I doing again??"
I've long left that song behind. I've replaced it with songs much less melodically beautiful, but with much more beautiful feelings in their wake. The song above is one that I just recently discovered, it's called "Oceans" by Hillsong United and it is lovely!
Songs like this really help me stay positive and happy. It helps my mind and heart stay focused on God and that really is...the only thing that truly makes me happy. :O)

NEW YORK (AP) — The first thing Billy Porter does when a visitor enters his dressing room is look down.
"Oh, I like those shoes. Where did those shoes come from?" the Tony Award winner asks nicely.
When told that the footwear in question is really just cheap and unremarkable, Porter jumps in. "Listen, inexpensive does not mean not nice."
Porter has good reason to be so generous with compliments these days. He's celebrating his anniversary in the hit musical "Kinky Boots" and is about to release a new CD of Broadway standards.
The 10 lushly orchestrated songs on "Billy's Back on Broadway" are a soundtrack of empowerment, encouragement, hope and enlightenment. Once those themes came to Porter, "it kind of wrote itself," he says.
There's "Everything's Coming Up Roses" from "Gypsy," ''Don't Rain on My Parade" from "Funny Girl" and "Luck Be a Lady" from "Guys and Dolls." The style, title and artwork are all a nod to Sammy Davis Jr. But the order and meaning are all Porter: "On the Street Where You Live" is no mere love song — on Porter's album, it's a bittersweet song about surviving the AIDS crisis.
Porter recorded the songs — including a duet with Cyndi Lauper — while playing Lola, the soul of "Kinky Boots," Lauper's musical about a British shoe factory that retrofits itself into a maker of drag queen footwear. He calls it "the role of my life."
Porter, who dances in 6-inch heels, has faced down some backlash, particularly during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when the toned and fierce "Kinky Boots" drag queens attracted some vitriol on Twitter. Porter notes that no one criticized the safe, overweight drag queen playing Miss Trunchbull in the parade's "Matilda" segment. "It was shocking and not," he says ruefully.
Porter, who spent 13 years away from Broadway after finding his career stalling, now loves every minute here. As for the album, he's been thoughtful about every single detail. (It's no coincidence that "Luck Be a Lady" is the track that comes right after he sings with Lauper.) He recently discussed the show and CD with The Associated Press.
AP: Congratulations on your anniversary. How long will you stay in the show?
Porter: As long as I can. Until something better comes along and that's a really tall order. I've gotten really picky in terms of where I'm going to go next as a performer. It's not going to be just anything. You know what I mean? The role is too good. The experience is too complete. The paycheck is fierce. I didn't shop for 13 years. I like clothes and cute things!
AP: Did you even flirt with leaving when your contract was up?
Porter: My manager will tell me to say, 'Yes, I did think about leaving.' The truth of the matter is: not really. It doesn't give you much negotiating power when you say, 'Oh, I'm staying forever!'
AP: As the show's star, do you find yourself becoming a political activist?
Porter: I always have been, in a way. Just by the nature of making the choice to be true to who I am, I'm political. Sometimes that's all you need to do: Show up and be black, gay and Christian in America and actually say it out loud. And refuse to let anything or anybody take that away from you.
AP: On the CD, what was a rule you followed?
Porter: For me, I really feel like if there's not a real, true connection to the material, I don't need to sing it. I don't need to sing songs just because I like them anymore. I've done that.
AP: What song didn't make the cut?
Porter: "I Got A Lot of Living to Do." The first line is 'There are girls just ripe for some kissin'.' Unless I can change that to 'There are guys just ripe for the kissin,' I'm not interested in that for my own personal storytelling.
AP: Why did you want to sing with Lauper?
Porter: She's an amazing artist and she's an amazing interpreter. I always say she's one of the godmothers of individuality so I knew that whatever she was going to bring was going to be individual. That's what I was looking for.
AP: What's the significance of singing "Happy Days/Get Happy" with her?
Porter: It was the Judy Garland-Barbra Streisand, mentor-mentee song. She was introducing Barbra Streisand to the world on her television show when she did it. There's a real sense for me that that's what Cyndi did for me. I wouldn't be here if Cyndi hadn't written this show. She didn't know she wrote it for me, but she wrote it for me.
AP: You've put so much care in this album. You secretly don't want people to put it on shuffle, don't you?
Porter: No. You can put it on shuffle after you listen to it once all the way through. You have to get the journey all the way through.

FREE CLASS in New York City
Whitney Tilson through www.kaselearning.com will be teaching value investing and hedge fund entrepreneurship to the next generation of investors. His programs are aimed at experienced investors and are very hands-on, so they aren't cheap ($1,500-$2,000/day), but for beginners, he is offering a free two-hour seminar, An Introduction to Value Investing, in midtown NYC (57th and 7th) on Wed., April 4th from 5:30-7:30pm, followed by a cocktail hour. If you'd like to come, just email firstname.lastname@example.com and Whitney will send you details.
Investing and Hedge Fund/Entrepreneurship "Boot Camp" And other Courses.
I attended Whitney Tilson's and Glenn Tongue's February 6th – 8th Boot Camp. I was initially skeptical but pleasantly surprised.
Overall, I was impressed with the learning materials, the organization, and most importantly, the participants who attended. Whitney and Glenn were brutally honest and forthright in showing the rise and fall of their business. One can know the lessons of Munger, Buffett, Graham, and behavioral finance but still fall into a pit. Our main enemy is likely to be ourselves. There were many lessons taught, but my promise of confidentiality prevents me from giving details. The course would not be appropriate for a rank beginner, but for an entrepreneur who wishes to launch their own fund.
The main value–besides the lessons taught–would be to cultivate relationships with the participants including Whitney and Glenn. I wouldn't go to Whitney to help you get a job, but if you do a rigorous analysis of a company, I am sure Whitney or Glenn could give you honest feedback. And if they liked your work, they might suggest how you could reach a larger audience. Also, your classmates could help. The opportunity to build strong relationships with knowledgeable investors and hedge fund managers would be invaluable for someone beginning their fund.
Each day was ten hours long with meals and cocktails afterwards, so you had plenty of opportunity to develop relationships.
60% of the course was how to improve as an investor, 20% life lessons, and 20% how to build your hedge fund.
See details here:
There are other courses available as well.
Make sure you receive at least a 10% discount on the course or other courses by using "CSI10" when you register.
If you want details on my experience of the course and what you might expect, please don't hesitate to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with BOOT CAMP in the subject line. I will be happy to discuss with you.
"Regarding last week, I was super impressed by the material. I liked the practical nature of the lessons they taught – a lot of courses exist that cover investing philosophy, but this was unique in its applicability to a start-up manager like myself."
"The main lesson I learned from the course was to keep it simple. Look for the easy investments."
"I actually really liked the emphasis on short selling, because it tends to be one of the great struggles of hedge funds that need to be long & short to justify the carry but have difficulty executing on compelling short ideas in the midst of a bull market."
"I would have liked more on portfolio construction because that is what I am struggling with. Ditto for risk management and small funds. Things I loved – the interaction of our group, the LL case, the mea culpas of what Whitney and Glenn did right and wrong."
All the participants told me that they both enjoyed the boot camp and found it useful in developing their fund.
Whitney solicited feedback each day, therefore, Whitney and Glenn should improve their course offerings.
I give a thumbs-up. To learn more about the boot camp/Kase Learning programs you can go to www.kaselearning.com.
I will periodically update information on Kase Capital for interested readers. If you learn anything from reading this post it should be to KNOW THYSELF! The market is an expensive place to find out. John Chew
The hedge fund founder explains why his fund was "sucking the joy" out of his life — and why he's turning its failure into a teachable moment.
By Michelle Celarier
March 20, 2018
Whitney Tilson's Facebook friends surely thought he was on top of the world last summer.Photo after photo posted on the social media site tells the story of a rich, exciting life: There's Tilson watching whales off the coast of Iceland. Next, he's on the canals of Amsterdam with his wife and daughter. Just a few days later, he's checking out Lenin's tomb in Moscow. Last August he even climbed to the top of the famed Eiger mountain in the Swiss Bernese Alps, photographing every step of the arduous journey.
But to hear Tilson talk today, the reality was grim. After 18 years in the hedge fund business, his firm — Kase Capital Management — was losing money, and Tilson found himself dipping into hissavings to keep it afloat.
"I had lost my passion for the game," Tilson confided in a two-hour, soul-searching interview about the events that led him to shut down his hedge fund last September. After gaining 184 percent, net — when the broader market was up only 3 percent — during the first 11 and a half years of his hedge fund's existence, Tilson's returns had been floundering. Since 2010, Tilson says, he trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index, and in 2017 he had lost almost 9 percent on the year by the time he shut down his fund. "In an ironic twist, I always built my firm to survive the worst storm, but it was a nine year bull market — complacency and sunshine — that took me out."
Tilson is one of several veteran hedge fund managers, including Eton Park Capital Management's Eric Mindich, Hutchin Hill Capital's Neil Chriss, Eclectica Asset Management's Hugh Hendry, and Blue Ridge Capital's John Griffin, who called it quits in 2017. Small hedge funds come and go with great regularity, but the inability of the industry's stars to profit as the stock market soared to new heights has raised questions about the viability of the model. Tilson was a much smaller player than the others — at his peak he managed only $200 million — but his experiences are a window into the headwinds that have faced these former masters of the universe.
What distinguishes Tilson from many of his peers is his willingness to talk about the long, excruciating road down. "It's hard, after seven years at sucking at something, to wake up and tap-dance to work. So, I found myself getting distracted. I wasn't physically getting out of shape; it was the opposite. I was going and climbing mountains. This one part of my life, I was miserable at; I was having no success. It's hard to have the self-discipline to focus all your attention like a laser, and all your spare time on a particular part of your life in which you're getting so much negative reinforcement."
Last year, as his fund's losses began to mount, Tilson says, "I didn't feel like I could look my investors in the eye and say, "˜Look, I'm losing you money, but I'm not doing anything else, 18 hours a day that I'm awake, the only thing I am doing is trying to turn performance around.' " The vacation photos notwithstanding, Tilson says he even felt guilty attending his daughter's soccer games. "My hedge fund was sucking all the joy out of my life."
Tilson's introspection is uncommon for those in the hedge fund business, where selfconfidence and salesmanship are as important to success as any investing prowess. As Tilson readily admits, managers cannot afford to be frank while they are going through turmoil, lest they further hurt their business — and their investors. "The last thing you want to do is air your dirty laundry. That will further shake the confidence of your investors."
But there's another reason for Tilson's uncommon openness: His experiences, both positive and negative, have led him to create a whole new business, turning Kase Capital into Kase Learning (Kase stands for the first letters of the names of Tilson's wife and three daughters). From a small conference room at the New York Athletic Club, Tilson has started teaching the perils and profits of investing in general — and running a hedge fund specifically — to aspiring youngsters who don't come out of big seeding platforms like Julian Robertson's Tiger Management or a multibillion-dollar hedge fund.
"Unless you are the lucky 1 percent who has the chance of learning in an apprenticeship, how are you supposed to learn how to do this?" Tilson says. "Nobody teaches the next generation. There is not one business school on the planet that teaches anything really usable to starting up your own hedge fund.
"It's so rare to talk to a manager who is injected with truth serum, isn't it?" he asks as he details his long bumpy journey through hedge fund land. "But I don't give a crap anymore."
