Question #1
The answer is coming soon.
Audio Live Performance of "Define You" Published
It is official. My live performance of "Define You" at the P.O.A.R. Sessions event in Montclair NJ 2014 has been published by Indigent Press in audio format. You can find it under the "Sound Bites" section of the website. Check it out and all the poets featured on this webzine, and please share. Click the picture below to go to the website.
Dave Ramsey?
Why do I promote Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover financial system so much, and not make a dime from him? Because he taught my wife and I how to manage the ones we already have. His system has changed my household's life forever. His system will have us debt free in 2018... COMPLETELY!
You are probably asking yourself, "So what is the cost of this miraculous plan?" We have already made back what we put in, by the amount of debt we were able to pay off. All it cost was a class that gave us all the materials we needed for $100 (price at the time, and will fluctuate due to sales). You can go to one of his Smart Money events, and pay way less than that to get the same information. We, on the other hand, wanted to be able to go to any class ---anytime for life just in case we need to keep the information refresh in our heads. Yep, you heard me right ---for life.
This is not a gimmick. This is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. This is changing the way you handle money. This is changing your life, and your children's life, forever. Sleep if you will, but know there is a better way to live. You don't have to be in debt and can get out of debt. Be just as weird as my wife and me, because being broke is the new norm. Why not choose freedom. Thank you Dave Ramsey; your system works.
Something I Noticed
I am hearing this trend among successful people; this point of working with people you get along with. This is actually contrary to the principal of "you don't have to like them to work with them." Working with someone you like or respect gives you that inspiration that you need to take your brand to the next level. Pushing a boulder up hill will eventually cause fatigue. I want to work with people that are willing to elevate with me; not be constantly combative and counter productive. What do you think? Would love to hear from you.
True Paradise
Watching Muhammad Ali's funeral a thought came over me. If all religions and beliefs can come together in death, imagine how powerful we would be, if we can come together in life. It would truly be paradise on earth. We all can do it family. Ali has shown us even in death.

"The Artist Recreates the World" Interview
Recently, I had the honor and privilege to sit down with Gary Campbell to talk about my poetry, and how the art can impact society. I was honored, for I haven't done an interview in a very long time. This wasn't a problem for me at all, because his laid-back style made it very easy to open up my mind, and heart to discuss the art form that is a very integral part of my life, poetry.
Gary is in the process of producing an amazing video series on YouTube called "The Artist Recreates the World."

I haven't done a panel discussion in a very long time, but the preparation process is invigorating (Panel discussion is entitled "Conjuring the Blank Page"). This author experience is so surreal, but humbling. I can just remember the time, when I first started writing poetry, and all I wanted was to one day publish a book. April 2015 was one of the greatest months of my life.
Come out and support me at BookNJ2015. Click the link under my Tour Dates section, come and buy my book, and I will love to sign your copy. The greatest gift that I can offer the world is my story.
Impossible to Possible
Yesterday was my first vending gig selling my book, and the experience that stood out the most was with a young boy.
Young Boy: You wrote this book?
Me: Yes, and you can write one too.
Young Boy: No I can't.
Me: You can accomplish anything that you imagine.
Young Boy: Not the impossible.
Me: Anything is possible if you believe it is.
Young Boy: That's not true that's why it is called "impossible."
Me: People thought traveling to the Moon was impossible, but they did it. People thought it was impossible to have an African American President, but we have one. It is only impossible, when we think it is impossible.
I thought it was impossible for me to publish a book, because I didn't have a creative writing degree. Thank The Most High that I stop believing that.
Coming next week. #april2015

Trends & News
After years of studying Phenomenology, Aris decided to turn to the visual arts with a series of charcoal portraits in 2013, as a way to broaden philosophical discussions outside of the scholarly field.
This translation of philosophical discussions into visual arts has two main implications: on the one hand, it turns Philosophy back into everyday life, and on the other hand, turns the aesthetic experience of Art into a meaningful scenario for discussion, reflection and knowing thyself.
Hope is a selection of 8 charcoal portraits, out of the 20 Aris made for the exhibition, Faces of Hope: Stories of Imigration, at the House of Europe in Zagreb May 2017, and it is meant to be an invitation to explore the experience of living abroad and the human growth at work in it.
All pieces are for sale & a selection of limited edition prints will be available through the Freud website.
Exhibition from the 29th of October – 26th of November 2017.

If you're ready looking for a home chance are that your next step is going to be securing a mortgage. For many people, this is the most challenging part as many people don't know what they're doing. You have to get your finances in check; you'll need to verify your income will be your credits and make sure that everything that everything's going to be worth the borrow. The next step is figuring out where you wanted to get your loan from this is also going to be very complicated. You have two options mortgage brokers or finance brokers. There are vast differences between the two, so you'll have to be aware.
Finance Brokers
So what are direct lenders a direct lender is a financial institution which can offer you a mortgage from commercial banks or through savings and associations or many other types. If you choose to find a different mortgage going through your lenders instead of using mortgage brokers, you are going to see that you're going to have to individually contact each lender in this is going to be more tedious. It might seem like it's time-consuming and a huge hassle, however, nowadays there's going to be little variation between each of the different rates. But even a 1% a difference makes a significant impact on your loan. One of the benefits of a direct lender is that it's going to be so much easier to solve any issues that may come up. Your broker may not be able to answer all of your questions, but you'll be able to get better I can directly contact the lender yourself. So, going through direct lender may also be away faster option than going through a broker. So, if you have several accounts with the same big, they may offer you better terms because you're one of their loyal customers, which is an excellent deal because percentages for interest rates make a huge difference when you're looking at a mortgage.
Mortgage Broker
No, you're probably wondering what the differences between a mortgage broker and a direct lender. The main difference between a mortgage broker and the lender is that a broker can get you a whole bunch of different quotes from many different lenders and give them to you all at once instead of you having to contact them one at a time. So, instead of applying to each one separately you'll be able to speak with the most mortgage broker on your own will be able to tell you which sounds you off I four. The brokers will also work with you on your application helping me throughout the whole process. Many mortgage brokers have a very dicey reputation, so you're going to have to be very picky when you're choosing one. You need to remember that brokers are paid based on the final fee of the mortgage they get you, so this is going to influence his ability to research for you profoundly. And in some commission-based brokers, will be mainly working with a specific list of lenders, which could help inform you of your choices.
In conclusion, you don't have to choose one over the other both are equally as good; it'll just really depend on your opinion of what you want. You can get quotes from both they'll help you out with whatever you need however mortgage brokers are going to be able to provide you with more information at once then direct lenders. You're also able to get more information with mortgage broker than through dollar direct lenders have direct lenders are going to be your primary link on how you're going to play and what the rates are going to be for the mortgage individually. So if you don't want to be in the situation where you are going to have to be sitting down in contacting various banks, breaker might be a better option for you. If you're ready to have a bank that you've been using for a long time, it may be better to go with the lender instead.

Valentine's day is almost here and, if you don't completely detest this made-up, Hallmark holiday like me, you should be planning a huge to-do for your beloved about…two weeks ago! I'm sure most of us think the trick to scoring points (among other things) on Valentine's Day is with opulent dinners, sexy underwear and those highly sought after, sky blue jewelry boxes (hint hint). But we here at VLL think it might be time to give Valentine's Day a bit of a facelift this year! So we decided to research some of the best gifts to give your man/lady this year to guarantee full copulation by night's end. We will cover everything from the ostentatious lover to the more financial conscious, heavy petter. No matter what your relationship (or financial) status, you will find something here to make that special person smile. Just because I will be spending the entire day in my jammies, eating ice cream, doesn't mean you have to be just as miserable as me 🙂
Let's get to the list, shall we?
Shea Terra Organics are high on our list of favorite beauty products! The majority of their products are made with all organic ingredients yet they keep a very affordable range that makes it easy to indulge. We are absolutely head over heels for their new Dark Chocolate, Sugar Stone Exfoliating cream. It is 99.7% natural while also containing Glycoloc acid that breaks down dead skin bonds and helps clear discoloration. The best part, however, you might have guessed from the name. When you open the jar you are hit with the rich, decadent smell of fudge brownies….Mmmm! I literally had to remind myself that it wasn't food!
For a Valentine's Day suggestion: Set up a special, private spa in your home for your Valentine and surprise them with a full relation massage with sweet smelling essential oils beautiful candles. Finish off the massage with the Dark Chocolate cream, paying special attention to the hands and feet of which we carry a lot of pressure throughout the day. They will enjoy the relaxing massage and you will definitely enjoy your sweet smelling partner!
If you and your honey are more hardcore lovers, check out this cute gift idea! Engraved his and hers flasks. Decorate with initials or a special messages of love so they can remember how much you love them while they are getting wrecked!
Most girls LOVE stuffed animals! I can admit, I still have a few around in my room for whenever im feeling kinda down in the dumps. So, this year, think about getting your gal (or guy) a personal stuffed toy…of yourself! This is a perfect gift for long distance sweethearts that spend time away from each other. Spray with their favorite perfume/ cologne and its like they never left!
This next gift is just a brilliant idea. The purse hook is a handy device to give your lady friend that will keep her from having to but her newest Balenciaga bag on the floor. If you are anything like me, you'd rather sit holding your bag for the entire night than put in on the dirty ground where it can be stolen or worse…scuffed! The purse hook will take care of that and its a fairly inexpensive way to show your lady you care about her opulent shopping habits.
If you have a little more breathing room in your wallets this Valentines day, might I suggest visiting gifts.com Experiential Gifts section. There you will be able to choose the city that you are in (or your Valentines day destination if travel is apart of your plans) and then choose from hundreds of Experiential Gifts that you both will remember for a life time! They cover everything from spa treatments to helicopter rides and more! Just pick a city and find the perfect experience for you and your boo.

Season five is the first season of RHOBH to be plagued by the lingering, slow-boil malaise that afflicts the franchise to this day. Strings of episodes will elapse with nothing happening. Grudges are dealt with via sniping talking heads and, if absolutely necessary, one confrontation every nine episodes. Welcome to Beverly Hills, a sprawling quicksand of passive-aggression dotted with the Chanel bags and Fendi sunglasses of those unfortunate enough to wander through.
Soapdish: Christening this new era of RHOBH are soap staples Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna. I'm not a fan of Eileen's S5 gambit, a stuffy and self-serious season of dogging Brandi Glanville over her creepy soap superfandom and a theatrical wine flick that's bizarre but not evil. Rinna will do better work in later seasons (hide your coke, Dorit Kemsley) but does a decent number on Kim Richards here, debuting her signature tactic of cravenly going after the most infirm member of the cast and having a smarmy panic meltdown when it inevitably goes sideways.
Thelma and Louise: The best thing season five has going for it is the new alliance between Kim Richards and Brandi Glanville. Collectively, the pair of them drive 100% of season five's meagre story, and they make every bit of sense as a friendship: both square pegs in the round hole of Beverly Hills society, social exiles who approach every interaction with the other 'Wives with deep fear and anxiety, problem drinkers… and of course, it pisses off Kyle, which is just gravy. I think Brandi/Kim are commonly regarded as an alliance of convenience but I've always read their connection as fairly genuine, if only for their openly worn damage and terror of the world. They have a lot to bond on.
All In: Unfortunately for Kim and Brandi and their young love, they are unambiguously the villains of the season, as best exemplified by Poker Night. Kim, overwhelmed by the sorrow of her children leaving her and her ex-husband dying of cancer, treats herself to the comfort food of mysterious pills and bleary-eyed death threats slurred at Lisa Rinna across the back seat of a Little Family Van. Brandi keeps it a little more low-key and defaults to drinking too much, insulting Eileen Davidson's home, and calling all the other women idiots for no good reason. Kyle attempts to intervene and the whole mess ends with a tear-drenched driveway shoving match. A piece of pizza is sacrificed to a tile floor. A senseless tragedy.
Making Up is Hard to Do: Her scuffle with Eileen Davidson about her administratorship at soaps.wikia.com notwithstanding, the majority of Brandi's energy this season is devoted to her paltry attempts to reunite with Lisa Vanderpump. This is a tough one to watch because it features Brandi at her most socially inept and LVP at her most spiteful and withholding. The would-be reconciliation predictably goes nowhere, because Brandi could not possibly fulfill LVP's quota of bowing and scraping. Still burnt by her S4 exposure as puppetmaster and correctly sensing that the proper way to dispense with Brandi is to passively let her self-destruct, Vanderpump doesn't even deploy one of her trademark labyrinthine Machiavellian nightmare schemes, so the storyline is a real slog. The above-pictured image, featuring Brandi trying to be cute by offering Lisa a literal olive branch and in the process defacing her beautiful olive tree, offending her further, sums up the dynamic nicely.
The Dam Bursts: I went to Amsterdam with my family a few years ago and loved every second of it, even the time I was fading in and out of consciousness smoking a cannon joint at a coffee shop while an 18-year-old girl and her 65-year-old boyfriend made out in my lap. So obviously I was thrilled to see the ladies of RHOBH touch down in such a beautiful city, and even more thrilled that they promptly razed it to ruins like so many Twisted Metal 2 contestants.
The ridiculous Rinna/Kim clash remains legendary. My takes: Rinna was deliberately antagonizing Kim by bringing up her addiction issues at the table and deserved every second of trauma. #whatdidharrydo is a wonderfully absurd non-accusation that Kim devised out of thin air to make Rinna lose her shit and it worked so GJ, Kim. Kyle Richards sprinting out of the restaurant in livid horror is the optimum Real Housewives Facebook cover image.
Even the minor conflicts of the trip delivered: Brandi outing Kyle as a pot-smoking hypocrite prude at the coffee shop felt like the best possible way to get under her skin, and the much-ballyhooed Brandi/LVP slap fit nicely into Brandi's S5 portfolio of half-joking violence vis-à-vis her jagged downward spiral.

Kentucky Division of Water Issues Revised Draft KPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity for Public Comment
As reported in the November/December 2012 issue of the Environmental Letter, DOW agreed, in response to comments of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and other manufacturing interest groups, to revise the initial Draft General KPDES Permit for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity to remove the first-time numeric effluent limitations on total suspended solids and oil and grease, and to revise certain non-numeric effluent limitation requirements that were considered overly burdensome. On March 1, 2013, the revised Draft General Permit and Fact Sheet for KYR00 was released for public notice and a new opportunity to comment for 30 days.
The revised Draft KPDES Permit establishes monitoring only requirements for TSS, oil and grease, and pH. The monitoring frequency is twice per year. The non-numeric requirements, which include an obligation to prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), are substantially more stringent than the non-numeric requirements that existed under the prior version of KYR00, but are less stringent than those proposed in the last version of the Draft Permit that was issued for public comment on September 13, 2012. However, DOW has retained certain language in the non-numeric requirements that is vague and could be broadly construed by inspectors. Examples would be requirements for the operator to keep exposed areas "clean and well maintained" and to utilize inspections, testing, maintenance and repair of equipment to "avoid" leaks. An example of an overly burdensome and unnecessary requirement is a new obligation for all facilities subject to the Permit to maintain a daily precipitation log. Omissions in any daily precipitation log would arguably be a violation of the Permit.
Another concern is the scope of Section 4.2 that relates to new or expanded discharges. On its face, this Section would apply to every new or expanded facility that requires coverage under the Draft Permit. Among others, this Section requires natural vegetative buffers to be maintained between the activity and the receiving waters, control of two-year, 24-hour storm events, and utilization of storm resistant covers to reduce areas of exposure. While Section 4.2 includes a provision that allows for "implementation of adequately protective alternate practices" it is unclear how that provision would be implemented, evaluated, or approved. Most importantly, this Section appears to apply to all waters of the Commonwealth, even though it is expressly stated to be included to address antidegradation requirements that would apply to high quality and exceptional waters. No information is included to support broad application of this Section to other waters.
The public comment period on the Draft General Permit ends March 31. Note that the potential exists for the same types of requirements to be applied going forward in individual KPDES Permits for stormwater runoff associated with industrial activity. Therefore, it is important that all facilities with stormwater runoff associated with industrial activities review and comment on the revised Draft KPDES Permit to increase the likelihood that additional clarifications will be made to reduce enforcement risks and unnecessary burdens.

Just retract the upper lip. You will notice a piece of skin that connects lip to bottom of gingiva (vestibule). Usually that skin flap ends near the midway of tooth. now if your child's frenulum is touching the exposed part of teeth than the space between anteriors is just due to that frenulum and the surgical removal will close this gap but if everything is normal and the space is between permanent teeth, than you need to visit an orthodontist for braces work. S/he will take the impression of your teeth and will give you an appropriate appliance.
My child has a space between anterior front to teeth. How can i know wether to go for frenectomy or to go to an orthodontist
There is no need to go for frenectomy at such young age as the milk teeth are already out and the adult teeth will replace these teeth at the age of around 7 years. So you can wait for couple of years but you should get is done before the adult teeth start erupting ie around 6 years of age. If you get is done now or later it is not going to make any difference as the frenectomy is done so that gap between front two teeth is closed and this matters in adult teeth only and sometimes this frenum which is a soft tissue attachment recedes itself and there is no need even to get the frenectomy done. You can take your child to child dental specialist Pedodontist to get the expert advice.

The village of Mohawk will seek bids on a project in Tory Creek and to sell a used village loader.
The village of Mohawk will seek bids on a project in Tory Creek and to sell a used village loader.
Department of Public Works Superintendent Kevin Wheelock said at this week's Village Board meeting he received one quote and was expecting two others on a project to restack stones in Tory Creek. The creek was a major factor in the flooding problems in the village early in the summer.
Wheelock told the board he had talked with a couple of scrap yards and other people about the village's 1995 Fiat Wheel loader, which he said is in poor condition, and suggested it be offered for sale as is. The board decided to advertise for bids on the creek project and the loader. Bids will be due in January.
Mayor Jim Baron said if there are no bids on the loader, the village could scrap it.
The mayor also reported he had talked with Irene Sweet of the cemetery commission about halting burials until spring. He added a pine tree that was struck by lighting in the cemetery must be taken down.
Wheelock said the DPW crew still was picking up leaves, but employees would be switching to their winter hours starting next week.
"We'll run sanding routes before the school buses get out in the morning," he said, adding the DPW has been helping the school out with sanding.
The board voted to decline a grant for Main Street improvements in the village due to a lack of funding. The village's share for the grant would have been $75,000.
A woman from a playground equipment firm stopped into the village and discussed ideas, said Village Clerk Judy Bray. The woman is willing to meet with the board, she said.
The village had applied for a HealthNet grant for a young children's play area in Weller Park, but it was turned down. The village must finish the first project before applying for a second one, Bray said.
Trustee Matthew Watkins, who serves as liaison to the Weller Library Commission, said he would bring that up at the next commission meeting. He said the commission is ready to go ahead with the project at Weller Park, but some of it may have to wait until spring.

I appear to be one of many who are unimpressed with the broken plastic control knobs that came with our GE range, a product purchased for $1500 by the previous owners of our house. I called GE/Mabe customer service, and sent in photos of the defective parts (3 of 5 knobs now being held together by Gorilla Glue) on April 28.
After more than 2 weeks with no response, I escalated. Finally, three weeks after my initial complaint, I was contacted by a GE/Mabe customer service manager (Diane Davis) who was very good about reading from her script about the plastic being "common on many different models and styles of stoves that [GE has]", but wouldn't give me a straight answer about GE's choice of price point cutoff in which it would put more solid (e.g., metal) control knobs. By comparison, I had purchased a Samsung range (http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/FTQ386LWX/XAC) for my previous residence for about half the price of the GE unit -- the Samsung product came with solid metal knobs that will easily last for the useful life of the stove. I see that many other customers have experienced similar problems with GE's cheap plastic control knobs (do a bit of searching on-line and you'll find many posts).
Clearly, GE has long been aware of the problem, but doesn't seem to care. This is shameful at best, and possibly, a post-sale revenue strategy to sell ridiculously overpriced replacement parts. If I were the original purchaser of the stove, I'd initiate legal action under Canada's Consumer Protection Act.
Perhaps other consumers will see fit to take such action either in Canada or south of the border? If so, let me know (tweet to @jcooperstock) -- I'd be happy to help out.
Product or Service Mentioned: Ge Appliances Range.
Reason of review: Bad quality.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
After some tweets and posts on GE Appliance's Facebook page, the GE social media people directed me back to Mabe Canada (with head office in Mexico, but who are responsible for GE-branded appliances in Canada). I then received a call from the same GE/Mabe customer service manager, Diane Davis, who left a similarly offensive message that "Our position remains the same...
it's not something that's covered currently".
After more tweets and posts on GE Appliance's Facebook page, Ms. Davis called again, this time, "We're looking to see if we can.... I'll revisit the file.
I can't change the type of knobs but I will forward you a set of knobs. It will be a one-time goodwill gesture."
When I returned Ms. Davis' call to ask her why the volte-face, she admitted that her decision hadn't changed, but "the company decided just to forward the knobs". In other words, Ms.
Davis and Mabe Canada have the same "smarts" in the customer goodwill department as United Airlines, and were willing to court negative publicity against the GE brand for the cost of at best, a few dollars of cheap plastic, until she was evidently overruled by GE.
The lesson here, which Ms. Davis did her laughable best to attempt deny, was that customers having similar issues may wish to adopt a similar strategy: embarrass the company with a continued stream of negative posts on its social media forums until receiving a more satisfactory response.
In my case, I'm not satisfied. The plastic knobs are junk, and should be seen by any self-respecting company as an embarrassment for a $1200 product.
If Ms. Davis wanted to redeem the name of her company, she would ensure that I was sent metal knobs as proper replacements.
I, for one would not purchase any GE appliances, large or small...Their just a piece of junk poorly made and not made to last long...My son moved into their new home and all of their appliances were GE and within a 2yr period they all were replaced ..Of all the companies going out of business, GE should #1 on the list to go...

Don't even talk to Jean Scardina about all the Christmas shopping and baking you have to do. She will humble you with the hand-knitted dog sweaters she made for her daughter's rat terriers, gingerbread houses and marzipan figurines of Santa's workshop she makes as decorations — oh, and the 6,000 cookies she bakes as gifts.
I had heard from a friend that Scardina makes 16 varieties of cookies. All petite and neatly decorated, they vary from Maida Heatter's chocolate shortbread to Anisscheiben, a German anise meringue cookie that sits out overnight before baking, to Pfeffernuss to molasses crinkles to chocolate pinwheels to delicious Yugoslavian squares, layered with cookie, jam and crushed meringue.
Yet Scardina, who at 79 regularly stays up until 3 a.m. baking and knitting and whatnot at her home in the southern part of San Francisco, couldn't understand why I'd want to write about her and the 500 or so dozen cookies she bakes, packages and gives out to a lucky 85 people every Christmas — a tradition she started back in 1951. After much sweet-talking, she finally relented, but then there was the issue of photographs. None of her would be allowed, and none could be taken while she baked. "I can't compromise the quality of my cookies by accommodating a photographer," she said.
Yes, ma'am.
I was beginning to see how she managed it all, raising four children and cooking dinner every night. Did I mention that she also works as a volunteer in the textile-conservation department of the de Young Museum and runs a knitting program at California Pacific Medical Center?
I was instructed to come to her house at 7 p.m., after she finished making dinner for her husband, Vince. I arrived to find a reserved woman wearing mauve pants, a mauve vest and mauve lipstick, her hair clipped in a bun, and her warm but protective husband, who insisted that I sit in the living room for a few minutes, presumably so he could check me out before unleashing me into the kitchen. There was a fire going, a pine-cone wreath above the hearth and, in the corner, a vintage chicken-feather Christmas tree from 1907.
This year Scardina was ahead of schedule — "Not for you people," she pointed out — but because her department at the museum would be closing early for the holiday and she wanted to be sure that her colleagues would receive their gifts. The chocolate shortbread was one of the last things left on her list to do.Continue reading the main story
Scardina's kitchen is like a museum of appliances, beginning with a snazzy Bosch dishwasher and spinning backward through the George Foreman Grill, an original Cuisinart and a G.E. refrigerator with vertical doors. The pièce de résistance is a 1955 white enamel Wedgewood stove that she refers to as her baby. It contains one small oven. "Frankly," she said, "I couldn't keep up with a double." A small butcher-block counter is two steps away. There she rolled out the shortbread dough using — listen up, Cook's Illustrated — two quarter-inch-diameter dowel rods to guide the dough and make sure she rolled it to the perfect thickness. Then she used a plexiglass strip and a pizza cutter to slice the dough into squares. Not once did she use a timer for the oven. Baking is like breathing for her.
The cookie baking began the year Jean and Vince were married, right after she graduated from Berkeley. "We didn't have much money, and it was a way to give people gifts without spending much," Jean said. She started with oatmeal and chocolate-chip cookies, and production ballooned quickly, at one point exceeding 600 dozen. "That was the year we were still eating them in June," Vince said.
The recipes that make up her extensive repertory today come from friends and magazines and cookbooks, but Scardina has changed nearly every one, reworking the shapes to fit into her boxes and adding, for example, fresh ginger or nonpareils where desired. Each has been typed into a spreadsheet for easy tripling and quadrupling. She also has a shopping spreadsheet, detailing the 41 pounds of flour, 37 pounds of sugar and 11 pounds of butter she needs to pull it off.
During the year, friends collect spent See's Candies boxes that Scardina then wraps with Christmas paper for packing the cookies. But that's as close to her kitchen as her friends are allowed to get. "This is my own madness, and I can't see dragging anyone else into it," she said. This has meant finding her limits. "Sometimes I would try do to two kinds in a night, but that's 70 dozen. By that time you're pretty pooped." Occasionally Vince would offer to help with the decorating, but when Jean noticed that the cherries weren't placed just so, he found himself back in the living room in front of the TV.
Recipients, however, have it easy. All they have to do is eat the cookies promptly. No letting them sit around. And there's really only one way off Jean's list. "You have to die," Vince said.Continue reading the main story

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 16, 2018) - Novoheart ("Novoheart" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NVH) today announced that it has filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a three-tiered drug screening system with enhanced capability, sensitivity and accuracy for detecting pharmacological effects on heart contractility that cannot be achieved with conventional models. The application resulted from the Company's collaborative contract with a multi-national global pharma company ("Pharma"). The completion of this contract also led to a subsequent income-generating contract with the same Pharma to build a cardiac disease model using the MyHeart™ Platform. Further details on both will be announced separately.
Owing to the lack of reliable human heart models, drug development is a notoriously lengthy, expensive and inefficient process, plagued with false negative and false positive results which lead to unacceptably high failure rates of >90%. The ability to reliably detect cardiac efficacy and toxicity early on during drug development is crucial for success; yet currently available tools are inadequate in terms of their accuracy and sensitivity.
To answer the unmet demand, the Company developed its proprietary drug screening system which comprises two types of bioengineered tissue constructs from Novoheart's MyHeart™ Platform, utilized in a tiered fashion: the first stage of screening utilizes the human ventricular cardiac tissue strip (hvCTS) for identifying effects in larger numbers of drug candidates, followed by verification in the second stage using the sophisticated human ventricular cardiac organoid chamber (hvCOC, or "human heart-in-a-jar™"), an exclusive Novoheart technology whose three-dimensional architecture and best-in-class physiological readouts allow highly sensitive detection to avoid false negatives and positives. In combination with Novoheart's proprietary multi-organoid culturing and imaging platform, where the hvCOC is connected via a fluidic system to other tissue-engineered organoids such as liver, a third tier of screening will be performed to study effects of drug compounds at the systems level, all in the context of human physiology but without involving patients.
"As a result of the successful collaboration with our global pharma partner, we have been able to develop a new drug screening system capable of selecting the best candidates based on their effects on human heart contractility. The proprietary system can be adapted for healthy as well as sick hearts, for screening of both toxicity and efficacy. Notably, it enables testing to be carried out with great precision and sensitivity, without the need for patient involvement." said Kevin Costa, CSO of Novoheart.
"With the improved precision that is now accessible to those in drug development as a result of this new three-tier drug screening system, we expect to further enhance our ability to commercialize and bring tangible value to both our clients and investors," said Ronald Li, CEO of Novoheart. "We are in the process of securing additional partnerships and contracts with drug developers in order to continue to extend the reach of our technology and meet what are significant industry needs."
About Novoheart:
Novoheart is a global stem cell biotechnology company pioneering an array of next-generation human heart tissue prototypes. It is the first company in the world to have engineered miniature living human heart pumps that can revolutionize drug discovery, helping to save time and money for developing new therapeutics.
Also known as 'human heart-in-a-jar', Novoheart's bioartificial human heart constructs are created using state-of-the-art stem cell and bioengineering approaches, and are utilized by drug developers for accurate preclinical testing as to the effectiveness and safety of new drugs, maximizing the successes in drug discovery whilst minimizing costs and harm caused to patients.

For those who celebrate, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are here. For mom and dad, the last-minute rush to get everything and everyone together is on; for kids, the anticipation of what will be under the tree is at sky-high levels; and the overall stress and adrenaline of the holidays have reached a fever pitch.
Then, it's over.
While there's New Year's Eve and New Year's Day to look forward to, for kids, Christmas is the high point. And once presents have been opened, the rest of the holiday break can stretch into what seems like infinity.
If your kids turn to their various screens, or worse – to fighting with each other, there are ways to keep them occupied and engaged and, who knows, maybe even have fun of the real, not virtual, kind.
At-home science labWhen you want to keep everybody busy inside but away from their computers, science experiments can be a cheap and fairly easy way to spend an afternoon.
Joe Lounge, manager of operations for the Powerhouse Science Center, said the Powerhouse offers activities that you can do at home if a trip downtown isn't in the cards.
The first activity he recommends involves circuits: You can light up a light bulb just with a bulb, battery and wire. Then you can kick it up a notch by making a dough that is conductive. When you mix it up, it feels just like Play-Doh. The secret: It has a lot of salt in it, and that's how it conducts, Lounge said.
Kids can stretch or shape the dough to create interesting-looking circuits.
Looking to get your hands dirty? The next activity Lounge recommends requires ice, salt and food coloring.
Take something with an interesting shape – a rubber glove, a balloon ("Something a little more fun than ice cubes," Lounge said) – and fill it with water and freeze. Once the object is frozen, remove it from whatever you used to give it shape. Take some salt water and a little food coloring and make several different salt-water solutions with the coloring.
Then, use something – an eyedropper would be ideal – to give you control over how much salt-water solution to apply. Now, drop the colored salt water onto the ice. The salt water will melt the ice and allow you to make colored designs in your frozen item.
"The science is you're changing the freezing temperature with the salt," Lounge said, adding that this isn't necessarily the best activity for younger children because it's a relatively slow process.
While these activities each offer scientific lessons and principles, Lounge said the main objective is fun.
"I like young kids to associate fun with science, just that basic association. So that later, when they're actually learning science content, it feels like fun because they've already associated (science) with fun. That's extremely important," he said. "It's not so much about the content – they may learn a fact or two – that's not really what it's about; it's more about the effect of feeling the fun and accomplishment."
Exploring the natural worldIf your kids are suffering from a classic case of cabin fever, take them outside, said Stephanie Weber, executive director of Durango Nature Studies.
She recommends simply going outside and immersing yourself in nature.
"We try to structure youths' time so much that there's something to be said about just letting them have the equivalent of recess, of giving them free time outdoors to just explore their world," she said. "We have the perfect playground in Durango, where pretty much anywhere you live, you can walk out your door and have access to some pretty amazing natural elements."
The most convenient of these would be the Animas River Trail. Weber said that even in winter, there's a lot you can see and do.
"Walk along the trail and listen to the river and look at who's in the river because you'll see some pretty neat birds that are there this time of year – some visitors that come from the north who are currently here," she said. "You get unique ducks out there and other water fowl. Just look at how the flora and the fauna – the plants and animals – navigate cold weather."
And while outside time can be unstructured, Weber said that parents can make a game out of a walk – come up with a list for a scavenger hunt; make art from nature; or for younger kids, look for particular shapes or images in the natural elements.
"This is the time to be unstructured, so I don't think we need to work too hard," she said. "Rather, just provide the opportunity to reconnect to that which gives us energy and is really part of our foundation.
"Just because it's going to be a little cold doesn't mean we all have to hunker down in front of our screens," Weber said.

a) I have wanted to post architecture/planning/ design/social commentary and info for years, but (like many others) was too lazy/unmotivated/overwhelmed to know when and how to start.
b) because for years, I've been waxing on to my friends, clients and family members on various design, environmental and social issues with preacher-like fervor.
And lastly, c) created because I had some time to kill one Sunday. (This seemed like a moderately better use of my time... or maybe not. Time will tell.)
Anyway, pick whatever lame excuse you want.. I'll have plenty of excuses to try to slip past readers in the coming months and years. Mostly, I want to discuss and share info related to Architecture, Urban Planning & Design -- perhaps with Socio-economic factors included for context. That allows for a pretty wide ranging discussion.
After 11 years on the internet, with membership in various Usenet groups, I figured I might as well try to spread my Shanty propaganda to a broader audience. (Architects are performers, you know..) I predicted various architecture/ construction / housing trends long before all the Johnny come-lately social pundits-- but had only my half-interested friends and family as corroborating parties to my insightful rants and late-night predictions.
Of course, some "predictions" aren't really so insightful. They are there for the taking by anyone with common sense and an understanding of American culture, economics and the human condition.
For example, take the Go-Go Housing Boom of the 1990s (pre - 9/11/01).
What goes up, must come down.
OK, so that was not that tricky a trend/outcome to predict. However, what many people failed to recognize was that the grossly inflated (over valued, really) housing prices of the last 15 years actually will have a long and destructive impact on not just the real estate/housing & construction industries, but on the long-term economic health of the affected communities and the nation in general. (I will provide more facts to support this thesis in future posts, including links to data, economists, planners and others who share my conclusions on this subject.)
Anytime a house built for $180,000 sells for $850,000 (to a couple that earns a total of $110K per year), while real wages remain essentially flat (or decline in some cases), a housing bust has to follow. (That was one of my predictions that I was referring to earlier.)
But how do you convince yuppie dot com stock purchasers who have as-yet to sell high, that what you are saying is true (prior to the dot com stock collapse)? Saying, "I told you so" has such a sore loser, wish I had-your stock options tone to it.
Typical oppositional reply: "Hey, who cares about that socialist/communist crap, Minister Shanty? I got mines. It is your problem if you are too stupid to figure out how to get yours. A society that ensures its CITIZENS have decent housing and health care would be too much like the welfare state of the pre-Reagan years, or worse, like a "failed" Cuba or the former Soviet Union."
Answer: Well, no shanty is an island to itself.
The problem w/ the Go-Go Housing boom of the 1990s has more to do w/ the growing income/wealth gap between the upper and the working middle classes, and the lack of affordable housing than not wanting a portfolio to appreciate. We can't all afford to drive BMWs in a capitalist society-- at least not in the present American system, can we?
It's hard out here for a Maryland (or worse, Washington, DC) white collar pimp to buy a $450,000 house (median house price in a decent area) for a family of 2 or more on $75,000/year. Before the recently proposed minuscule raise in the Minimum [slave] Wage, the rate will have remained at $5.15/hour since 1995 -- an outrageously immoral rate (and duration) for a nation as wealthy as the USA.
What do you expect from a nation that built it's public and private wealth largely on slave labor?
It's not What You Make, It's What You Keep -
Sins of Omission: Over last 15 years, the mainstream press, construction & real estate media kept reporting that Housing starts were up, yet failed to notice/report/investigate the corresponding trends affecting household wealth and real earning power for the average American remained largely flat, or declined. Instead, the year 2000 saw a new era in social, national and foreign policy: The Happy Talk Era. If you don't hear bad news, did anything really bad happen (to us or to the nation)? In my region (the Midwest), home foreclosures were at an all time high (per capita). If housing starts increase by 1-3%, while home foreclosure rates double or triple in a region, what really is happening is a (re)distribution of wealth -- not just now, but perhaps for a generation or more. (And don't forget-- the bankruptcy laws were also changed in the last year.)
...but then, as one family member keeps telling me: a substantial portion of Americans are stupid and thus, cannot connect the dots on this nor most any other complex issue. Are we so doomed?
Since one's home/real estate is the primary way (most) Americans build family wealth (and pass it on to successive generations), do laws that shift/change/alter who and how wealth is accumulated affect the long term social fabric of a community, its economy and of a nation? Of course, I say they indeed do-- for the worse.
Yet few (in architecture, planning, finance, government, etc.) seemed willing to actually push an agenda which would serve to avert or quell the affordable housing shortage and the lack of real income growth among the working class and the working poor.
Instead, over the last 15 years, the top 2% of American households increased their net worth, while the American middle-class grew smaller and foreclosures, personal debt and bankruptcies reached an all time high for many Americans in the modern era.
The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina served to expose many social, private sector and governmental policy shortcomings -- at least expose them more plainly to those who have been uninterested and unwilling to look at what has been happening for quite some time. Surely folks who drive imported luxury cars and who live in their suburban starter castles didn't think poverty in America had been eradicated or that all social economic ills can be solved by the introduction of a Starbucks in every neighborhood?
Perhaps this blog will serve to document any future predictions, trends, remedies or concerns-- at least as I see 'em. I'm not a good typist and admit to being a so-so speller and editor. So, I'll give you a pass on typos, and please extend to me the same courtesy.
I will delete / block spam, racist, hateful and untruthful posts from visitors to ShantyWorld.com as I see fit.

Yesterday my roommate ran her first ever 5K!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the lighting sucks. Forgive us. We were just excited to be there! Take notice of our matching Grinch tees! Be jealous!
Basically, I agreed to run this race with the understanding that I would be wearing candy cane socks. I may start wearing them all the time like Holly Madison.
It was a great race. It was very well organized, there were plenty of volunteers, and post race refreshments. Also, the t-shirts were bomb (and you know that is always a deciding factor).

Hello there! If you remember earlier this month I mentioned that I am partnering with an amazing team of demonstrators around the world in putting together a tutorial bundle for our customers! see this blog post
Since we are a brand new team being formed we decided it would be great to do a blog hop to let you know more about each of the designers from the Stamping Around the World Team, plus we would showcase the stamp set that we used on the tutorial that each of us created for the tutorial bundle!
I am sure you will get lots of inspiration just going thru the hop, plus you will see which sets are being included on the tutorial bundle :)
About Allie (me): I am originally from Mexico City, and moved here with a chemical company for which I have been working 16 years. I have been in United States - Texas for about 13 years, and while I miss dearly my family, friends and the food, I am not positive we would go back to Mexico.
I have been a demonstrator for 11 years (this April) and I have not regretted the decision to join Stampin' Up!, I love their stamps and the color coordination on all their products, I honestly think that this is what makes the designing of projects go so easy!
I am married to Edmundo for 12yrs and we have two little kids Oliver (2yrs) & Addison (4 mo) and a little 3 lbs yorkie Aitty. All of them keep me busy for sure ;-) but I would not have it differently! I love my family and they are my reason to keep going.
The card I am showing you today features the Incredible Like You stamp set!! this is one of my favorite sets from the new occasion catalog!! I love that you can get so many looks with the same set, the fonts and sentiments on this set are also great for friendship cards.
The designer series paper that I used is the All my love. I can tell you that all the designs on this paper pack are fantastic and a lot of them can be used for valentine's!!
As you can see on the picture below, I used the flax ribbon, which is really soft! I thought this would be very similar in texture as the burlap ribbon, but I was wrong, this ribbon bends smoothly and has a soft texture. For this card I decided to cut it in half to have a thinner version and have the zigzag made with the ribbon under the whisper white circle.
Watch the video tutorial below, where I go over measurements, tips and tricks on how to make this card. You will see that this card is so easy to duplicate!!
Don't forget to visit everyone else participating on this blog hop, I am sure you will enjoy knowing a bit from each of us as well as seeing the amazing projects that we all prepared for this blog hop! You can see the full line up below.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
Check the Card Classes To-Go available in January
Click HERE or on the images to learn more about these classes!
Thank you so much for your business, I truly appreciate your support; Also don't forget about the NEW ordering incentive this year!!

Yelp and Where will be two free of charge location-finding iPhone applications that have greatly different strategies to lead you to what you're seeking for.
